higher rates are demanded here for both combing and
clothing descriptions, and are in some instances obtained.
In colonial wool only a moderate business is doing by pri-
vate contract ; nevertheless, the quotations rule very firm.
The public sales will commence in London on Thursday
next, and at Liverpool on the 27th instant. There was no
arrival of wool in London last week either from the Cape or
Australian colonies.

A MISCHIEVOUS ELF.—William Mitchell, a boy abou,
14 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget charged
with throwing stones in a public thoroughfare.
Thomas Allen, a police-constable, No. 409 K, stated that
last night, a few minutes after 8 o'clock, when people were
leaving their churches and meeting houses, the prisoner
was throwing stones among them in Brunswick-street,
Poplar. Ile remonstrated with the prisoner when he
threw the first stone. His remonstrances were treated with
contempt. The prisoner threw four more stones, and he
then took him into custody. The prisoner said " You can't
take me into custody for throwing stones." He told the
prisoner ho was mistaken, and that he should not only
take him into custody, but lock him up. The prisoner said
that he only threw pebbles; but he told the prisoner that
pebbles or flint stones made no difference, and he took him
to the station-house. The prisoner's companions called
out "Knock his hat off; kick him , don't go with him ;"
but the prisoner did not do that. The witness added that
great complaints had been made by the inhabitants of the
East India-road, Poplar, and the adjoining streets, of the
nuisance of stone throwing by mischievous boys like the
prisoner. He believed the prisoner was throwing atones at
some girls, but any person near was in danger of having his
or her eye cut out.
Mr Paget—You are quite right. It is a most dangerous
practice.
The prisoner said he did not know why he was locked up
and brought to a police-court.
Mr Paget—For an illegal act of throwing stones, and if
any of the stones thrown by you had injured any person
you would have been charged with an assault.
The prisoner, wha said he was the son of a shipwright,
declared he only threw a few small pebbles at his com-
panions.
Mr. Paget—That is an offence.You had no right to
throw small pebbles ; you are a mischievous elf. London
boys are always throwing stones.
Allen said the "small pebbles" thrown by the prisoner
were stones picked up in the road as large as hens' eggs.
Mr Paget fined the prisoner 65., which his parents paid
for hire.

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.--James Gander!
60 years et age, of very respectable appearance, was

new bridge.

(;,:y evening he was told that these was some one in the
water; and looking into the Thames saw the prisoner, who

Mr Selfe—Lad he been drinking?
Constable—l tl.2nk he had ;he appeared like it,
Mr Selfe—Did he sa: anything when he recovered I
Constable—He said thai trouble of mind and family mis-
fortune had driven him to it. I produce these (a handker-
chief full of large stones) which I found in the prisoner's
pockets to sink him. When speaking of his misfortunes,
ho said that nobody knew his troubles but himself.
I‘,: Selfe—Are any of his friends here ?
Constable—One of his sons is present.

Mr Selfe—Does he drink ?

The Son—Since these misfortunes /lave come upon him
he has taken to drinking very freely, and has strange no-
tions that he is being abandoned by his family and friends,
but he is quite wrong in that respect, every body is sorry
for his misfortunes, and would do their best to help him,
Mr Selfe--What has he been ?
The Son—A master cabman, and at one time had a very
large business. He prospered for years, but at last business
fell off, and he was obliged to sell his things, and then he.
went with the money they fetched into the country in hopes
of doing something else, but could find nothing to suit, and
so returned to London. He has not been doing anything
since.
Mr Selfe—l shall remand him until Friday next, and the
witnesses must attend again, for, nAless I see great reason
to alter my present view of the case, I shall commit prisoner

The bargeman who rescued prisoner is William Geary,
who deserves a reward.

they found him illusiag a boy, which they had a right to do.
He should commit Goodall for 14 days for assaulting 73 C,
