DIARY OF AN ILL USED HUSBAND.

_
At Marlborough-street Police-court an elderly Irish
couple, whose faces were quite familiar to the bench,
presented themselves before Mr. Bingham, to have their
matrimonial differences settled according to law for the
sixth time. On the present occasion Timothy Lynch,
the husband, was the complainant.
" Here I am again, wid me four pair of boxes, yer
hanner," said Timothy, with a nod of recognition at the
magistrate, " the same honest, hardworking man that
two years ago yer hanner looked at, and said, ' Timothy
Lynch, you've a bad bargain ov a wife.'"
Mr. Bingham—Well, what have you to say against
her now? Timothy Lynch—That she drinks wust than
iver. She's got her lips all day long at the jug or
bottle, excipt whin she's ecoulding and blaggarding me.
It's only yesterday she swore a big oath she'd cut out me
back bone, and pawn me last pair of breeches, if I didn't
fork out some more dhrink money.
Mrs. Lynch—That to me, Timothy. Are you coming
an axing me ony just now in court to be friends again
and come home an be comfortable, for I was the best
wife in all England.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Bingham—Tell me why you threatened him, as
he says ? Mrs. Lynch—Here's all about the ro,yer
wutchip—Last Sunday I got him a beautiful hot dinner,
pig cheek and baked tatoes, all out ov me own honest
~
airnings. " Come away, Tim, sin, I,
dinner." " Divil a bit of dinner 11l ate wis
yesi fi,or,
fifty-two Sundays," sea he. ,6 If you say that,"
~you ought to want a dinner everyaaid Timothy, jumping
day ov y yer life."
" Hear to me, yer wutchip,,,:nd

Mr. Bingham—From what novel are you reading
those extracts? Timothy Lynch—Novell why it's the
diecoorse of Molly Lynch ancllyel,
meselfj in black and white.

this is the fifth time this wake, though
only kept sober three days how happy and you know

Molly. I says, ' Molly, Father Hearne tells me to give
you every chance to be a ood woman and to bring you
to chapel.' 'Father Hearne mayo hang himself,' says Molly; 'an as for you, Tim, I'llmake yrch don't do the
our bones rattle
for that.' ' Molly,' sis I 'what the Chu,
State will do for me—our grashious lady her Majesty
the Queen, and her honerable magistrates (looking hard
at the Bench), who are worthy of her confidanse, will
not let me suffer from your vile conduck." The magis-
trates be—' ' Hush, Molly,' says I, ' don't spake a word
agin them good gintlemin who'll see me righted when I
get you atore 'ern.' "
Mr. Bingham--Well, I think that is enough.
Timothy Lynch—l

Say what, that there is
not above a quarter of true.
Bingham—Well, and
Mr. Bin for that quarter I think the
best course to take to call upon you to find one security
to keep the peace towards your husband.
Timothy shook his head Compassionately at his wife,
and then offered to stand " trate ' to anybody in want of
a " sociable drain."

ROCHESTER, JAN. 27.—Yesterday morning Wm.
White, a young man holding the situation of foreman over
the goods department at the North Kent Railway Station at
Strood, was found drowned in the canal basin, a short dis-
tance from the terminus. An inquest was held the same
afternoon, before Mr. Lewis, coroner, when several witnesses
were examined, and the jury returned a verdict of " Found
Drowned." Deceased has left a wife and two children!

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, JAN. 27.
We c !ti only report a cowieuance of scanty supplies
of both wheat and barley; the former found buyers at
fully 2s and 3:: per qr. more money than last market day.
Barley sold also at the advance reported in Mark-lane,
and all best malting qualities commanded 34s per qr.,
being made for very select samples. Beans, peas, and
oats were all dearer.

HULL, JAN. 27.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—The
trade has been exceedingly firm during the past week,
and an advance has been conceded upon all articles in
the business done. Some speculative inquiry has mani-
fested itself for low wheats and oats, and altogether the
tone of things is more cheerful, though we keep a long
way astern of our Continental neighbours, who are cer-
tainly going ahead pretty briskly. The transactions
on the Hamburgh Exchange, by our last advices, are to
a large extent at a smart advance upon previous rates.
With the exception of Egyptian beans, there is not a
single article of grain now on shipboard here. The
market to-day was tolerably well supplied with English
wheat, for which our farmers, encouraged by the ad-
vance in Mark-lane, were asking high rates—more than
millers were disposed to comply with. However, the
market was very good, at fully 2s per qr over the rates
current last Tuesday. More business is doing in foreign,
and some of the old chambered parcels are now coming
into play : some sales have passed, of low qualities, both
to speculators and for export. Of barley we never knew
the port so completely cleared-27s 6d (30 stones) is re-
fused for grinding, while making (English) fetches fully
2s advance upon the rates of last week. Beans are not
dearer during the week, but meet good consumptive de-
mand. Thr same remark may apply to peas, of which,
however, the stock is insignificant; the unusually mild
season much curtails the consumption. With fair arri-
vals of linseed the market is rather weaker, and buyers
get some advantage. Linseed cakes maintain their price
well, notwithstanding the mild weather; indeed during
the week the market has rather hardened. The port is
now clear of foreign, an occurrence almost unprecedented.
Nothing doing in rapeseed, and cakes only selling in re-
tail. A good demand for bones, but none afloat.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 27.—The advance on Mark-lane
yesterday exercised little influence on our market to-day.
A few small parcels of wheat and sour changed hands
on speculation, but the town millers and dealers operated
very limitedly, and we were thinly attended by country
buyers. A little fine American white wheat sold at 2d
per bushel over Friday's price, making the advance on
this description since last Tuesday 3d to 4d per bushel.;
other sorts of wheat, and as well barrel and sack flour,
were much the same as on Friday, and quoted above.
Indian corn dull and no change in its value. Good
oats scarce, and would command ld per bushel advance.
Oatmeal, barley, beans, and pease same as quoted last
week.
