RUFFIANLY OUTRAGES.—DanieI Rawlins, a rough:
looking fellow, whose attire and general appearance lea
to a supposition that he was either of wild Irish or Ojib-
beway Indian parentage, was brought before Mr. Long,
charged with the following ♦iolent outrages :
The evidence went to show that, yesterday eveninits
the prisoner, who was drunk, knocked repeatedly, with-
out lawful excuse for doing so, at a house in West-
bourne•place, Paddington. Upon his being desired
by Crook, 273 D, to ho peaceably away, he refused to
do so, and struck and kicked him (the officer) with
great force several times Ikon the head and legs. 13°
also assaulted Palmer, 365 A, in a similar manner, and
it required the united exertions of five constables, who
were compelled to tie his legs together, to convey ban
to the station-house.

The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say,
plied in a voice something between a bark and a growl,
" What got to say to all of you is this—you !nisi
do with me just as you like."
Mr. Long fined him 40. F., and in default of payment
he was committed to the house of correction for
month.

ANOTHER UNPROVOKED OUTRAGE.—Edmund 141. g",
a labourer, was charged with a most unprovoked assault
upon Mr. Pope, residing in Star-street, Edgware-road,
yesterday evening. Complainant, while passing along
John-street to go home, was followed by the prisoner,
who several times stood in front of him and stared un•
pudently in his face. He desired him to go on, and not
molest him further, when he (prisoner) gave him a blow
on the mouth which knocked him down. He then ran
off, but was soon afterwards taken.—Fined 20i. or 14
days.

SOUTHWARK.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Edward Charmer, *
ruffianly looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Combs
charged with the following daring highway robbery.
William Saturday Graham, the master of a vessel
trading between the Port of London and Saint Michael,
stated that last evening, between seven and eight o'clock,
he was proceeding along Wellington-street, Southwark,
towards London bridge, with his wife and brother, and
when passing Saint Thomas's-street, the prisoner sud-
denly rushed up to him and grasped his watch-chain and
attempted to pull his watch out of his waistcoat pocket.
Fortunately the watch was rather securely fixed at the
bottom of the pocket, but the prisoner broke the
chain, and a portion of it dropped on the pave'
meat. Witness caught hold of him, and while they
were struggling together a constable came up and
secured him. Witness produced the chain, a very strong
gold one, which he stated was round his neck and fas-
tened to the watch with a swivel. It was broken about
two inches from it, and the robbery was committed with
great violence.

- In answer to the charge, the prisoner said he bad
been drinking with some of his pals, and was so drunk
that he did not know what happened. He must have
accidentally pushed against the gentleman and caught
his chain.

Mr. Combe told him he must endeavour to make h
ury believe that story, as he should commit him for

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with all
kinds of wheat of home produce. The demand, however,
was heavy, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday.
Over 8,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand.
Importers generally wore firm in their demands, but se
little business was transacted that the quotations were
nominally unaltered.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
Wo had a very slow sals for barley, at about Monday's
currency.
The malt trade was heavy, at the late decline.
Oats, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly, at
late rates.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull. The imports of
the latter are large, viz., 7,390 sacks, and 14,200 barrels.
