The arrivals of English grai uup to our market last week
were very moderate. From %brow 1 we received 23,853
quarters of wheat, 15,168 barley r, 35,.31 33 oats, 4,815 beans,
1,028 peas, 65 tares, 4,972 lima if, 2,83 '8 rapeseed, 10 mus-
tard seed, 1,871 sundry seeds, an, "1 Al ;5 sacks of flour.
The quantity of English wheat zac Jed fresh up to-day,
coastwise, was very limited, especi 111 y from Kent. By
land carriage the receipts were al as 11, and the show of
samples was trifling. Owing to the favourable change in
the weather for the growing crops, tale cheering advices at
hand to-day respecting the gene ts.l appearance of the
wheats, and the imports of foreig igrain, the demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produc 6 ruled heavy, and, in
some instances prices were is per quarter lower than on
Monday last.

The supply of foreign wheat, fre sk as well as ex-granary,
was rather large. All descriptions met a very dull inquiry,
yet in the few sales effected last Monday's currency was
mostly supported.
We had a dull inquiry for f 1,2 sting cargoes of grain,

quality. The attendance of both town and country. but-
chers was good, and tho beef trade ruled brisk, at a further
advance in the quotations of 2s per 8 Ths. The priamt
lots were worth fully 5s 4d per 81t's, ancl a good clearance
was effected. The arrivals from Linco lnshire and Leices-
tershire amounted to 800 short horns, from Norfolk and
Suffolk 900 Scots and home brads, from other parts of
England 400 of various breeds, and :from Scotland 140
horned and polled Scots.
The show of sheep was moderate as te nuniber, but very
deficient in quality. Prime Downs and half-breds realised
fall prices, with a steady demand. In other breeds only a
limited business was doing, and, in some instances, the
quotations were 2d per 81bs lower than ea this day. se'nnight.
Lambs were in fair average suppl:r and sluggish request,
and inferior breeds were rather chea par.

Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the
veal trade ruled heavy, at last Monday's currency.
We were fairly supplied with /s, which sold slowly,

THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN _HYDE-

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
OF THE POLICE.-(THIS DAY.)
The Commissioners took their scats this morning at
20 minutes past 11 o'clock.
Mr. John Harforl, deputy treasisrer, of Bristol, was
the first witness examined. He was in Hyde park,
south of the Serpentine, on the Ist of July, about six
o'clock in the evening. He saw a crowd of persOns round
a man who was attempting to addr6s them. A body of
police came up when they were received with hooting
and yells, and stones and sticks were thrown at them.
The man was taken into custody. Asimilar occurrence
occurred shortly after, and that man was also taken into
custody. He saw enough of the conduct of the crowd
to excite the police to drive them back with their staves,
or use any force they might think necessary. They did
not do so, and he was much pleased at their forbearance.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—His house and his
mother's were burnt down during the Bristol riots. He
was not easily alarmed at a crowd. He was induced to
go to the Park, expecting to see a row there from what
a policeman told him. He noticed a pale-looking police.
man on a black horse use great forbearance. He did
not notice much joking amongst the crowd.
Mr. S. E. P. Lefroy, barrister, of the Northern cir-
cuit, was i❑ the park from o to 5 o'clock. He noticed
three classes of persons : one thieves or vagabonds; an-
other respectably-dressed working men, clerks, and
shoprnen ; and a third like himself, who were drawn
there from curiosity. The first were riotously dis-
posed with a view to plunder, and the second to
givean honest expression of disapprobation to the Sunday
Trading Bill without personal violence. He saw
carriages intercepted in the drive, and an attempt made
by a boy of 14 years of age to upset one. (Laughter.)
He ran in front of the home, flourished his cap, and
struck him on the head. lie was cheered by many of
the working men, and the vagabonds around him. He
saw instances of respectably-dressed persons refusing to
comply with the request of the police to move back from
the railings. He saw no blows struck by the police,
but he saw their truncheons flourished to induce
the people to go back. After that the people
were allowed to come forward again. The
object of driving the people from the railings appeared
to he to get rid of those who were in the front hooting.
Ho thought the police acted with firmness and forbear.
ance ; otherwise the disturbance would have led to the
destruction of property and loss of life. He saw two
mounted policemen pelted with small stones. They did
not appear excited.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He noticed no
ladies amongst the crowd. He did not see any peers
there nor a learned judge walking with his daughter.
The police came up slowly, on which the people rushed
off speedily, and he had to take refuge behind a tree.
He thought these rushes were made by some of the
crowd, with a view to plunder. The resistance, in
most instances, by the people, was passive. He saw one
policeman push a man with his truncheon, who threw
himself on his back. On further examination relative
to how the man could throw himself on his back, he
said it was on his side. He saw no policeman struck,
nor auy act of violence done for the day.
Mr. Edward Fitzharding Berkeley, of the 2d Life
Guards, was in the park from a quarter to five till a
quarter to seven o'clock walking along by the carriage
drive. The crowd was very dense, and the police endea-
voured to prevent them assembling to be addressed by a
speaker. The conduct of the crowd tended to annoy and
provoke the police by " mobbing " them. He saw the
police pelted with gravel and small clods of earth. They
hooted at them. The police had not the slightest diffi-
culty in dispersing the crowd. He thought the conduct
of the police excellent.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—There was more
hooting when the prisoners were conveyed along the
drive in cabs than at other times. If he had received
a stray blow he should not have complained at having
placed himself in front of the people the police were en-
deavouring to disperse. There appeared to be a desire
on the part of the people to commit a breach of the
peace if they dared. He saw no ill-temper on the part
of the police. He thought it was necessary the people
should be charged. He saw Sir R. Mayne's notice, but
did not read it through.
Mr. William Hawes, of Montagu-place, Russell
square. was in the Park on the Ist inst., and mixed with
the crowd on both sides of the Drive. He saw stones
thrown at the police, and a macadamised one struck
him. The conduct of the two mounted policemen was
such as it should be. There was no excitement on their
part. The police appeared to be in exceedingly good
temper. One sergeant showed him a blow he had re-
ceived on the hand. It was not safe to take a lady on
foot along the Serpentine—if in a carriage at the risk
of the horses being frightened. The crowd in the Drive
was of a noisy description, and composed mostly of boys
and young men.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He saw from 50 to
60 carriages in the drive of the usual description seen in
Hyde-park. He saw no violence used, or great resist-
ance to the police. One man refused to go under the
railings, when the' police took him up, threw him over,
and he fell on the other side. The crowd was of a dif-
ferent character to that seen at elections. There was a
difference in the conduct of the crowd on the green and
in the drive ; the former were peaceable and or-
derly. There was a difference between this
crowd and that on the Derby-day. The
latter was fun and frolic—the former more than that.
Mr. Charles M`Pherson, steward to Lord R. Grosve-
nor, was at his residence on the Ist, hearing there was
to be gathering and a breakage of the windows. On
the crowd assembling, the blinds were drawn down, and
some of the shutters closed. The inmates, consisting of
the establishment, were much alarmed at the yelling and
hooting of the crowd. There were two or three police-
men in plain clothes in and out of the house. No
damage was done on that day.
Cross-examined—Lord R. Grosvenor was not in the
house, but some of the ladies of the family were there.
Wm. Ford, messenger to Lord R. Grosvenor, gave
similar testimony to the above witness. Whilst fastening
the area gate, about six o'clock in the evening, he was
struck with a stone on the head, but not violently. He
did not feel particularly alarmed. Things went on pretty
quiet and regular in the house. Lady Grosvenor and
two of the young ladies were in the house ; they were
rather alarmed. After the mob was dispersed, about
half-past six o'clock, Lady Grosvenor and the young
ladies walked out. The carriage is never used on Sun-
days. The crowd assembled a little before six o'clock.
Mr. John Hayworth, woollen draper, of St. Martin's-
lane, saw a lady pushed down by the crowd, and on a
policeman going to her assistance the crowd cried
" Shame !" and began to elbow him. The lady, he
thought, was trampled on by the crowd. He saw pieces
of hurdles thrown into the air in the direction of the
police, who were apprehending a man. He noticed the
crowd on one occasion annoying the police when they
were clearing the place. The police used forbearance.
He had never contracted to supply the police with goods.
He was not a voluntary witness.
Mr. Wm. Chas. Brown, straw-hat manufacturer, New
Bond-street, was in the Park from four till half-past six
o'clock. The conduct of the crowd was very discredit-
able and annoying to the police. Stones were thrown
at them. The policemen acted very temperately. He
saw one or two " half boys, half men" have a good box
on the ears, but he saw no bloodshed. He saw several
prisoners taken away in cabs, and he could say positively
none of them had their skin broken.
