Police Version of the Primrose-hill Affair,

The police reports of the meeting on Primrose

hill are as follows. On the evening of April 23,
Superintendent Loxton reported to the Commis-
a sinner of Police—" I beg to report that the meeting
and planting of the tree on Primrose-hill this day
has passed off all quietly ; there were about 100,000
persons on the hill, Several attempts were made
to address the people respecting the sudden depar-
ture of Garibaldi; the speakers were spoken to by
the police; then they left the hill, inviting the
people to come to the Agricultural Hall next week.
the A Reserve were dismissed at 7 p.m,, and the
remainder at 8 p.m." On April 25 the same super-
intendent made this further report—" With refer-
ence to the police interfering and preventing a
Garibaldi meeting on Primrose-hill, on Satur-
day last, I beg to report that, after the Shakespere
oak had been planted, about half-past 5 p.m., I
heard several persons say that a Garibaldi meeting
was being held on the top of the hill. At this
time there was not less than 50,000 on and about
all parts of the hill; and, fearing there might be a
disturbance, I went with about 40 constables to
the top of the hill, A man stood upon one of the
park seats and addressed a few words to the people.
A chairman was chosen (a Mr Beales, barrister),
when Inspector Stokes spoke to the parties; they
adjourned the meeting; on this some remarks were
made against the police and her Majesty's Ministers.
There was no complaint made to me by any person
of being assaulted by the police. One man stated to
Inspector Fidge that a policeman had struck him in
the face with his fist; he had got his number, and
would summon him for the assault." On the same
25th of April Inspector Stokes also reported as
follows:—" I beg to report that I was on duty at
Primrose-hill on the 23d inst., during the ceremony
of planting the oak in commemoration of the Shak-
spere Tercentenary. At 545 p.m. (after the cere-
mony) a large number of persons assembled on the
top of the hill, and several men, calling themselves
the Working Men's Committee,' were in the centre,
one of whom was standing on a seat addressing the
people, to the effect that' Garibaldi was sent home
by the English Government to please the French
Emperor.' I, accompanied by a sergeant and
two constables, went to him. I said I
wished to speak to him. He got off the seat,
and I told him he could not bo allowed to address
any meeting there; when he consulted with another
man, who afterwards told me his name was Cremer,
and that he resided at 31, Great Titchfield-street,
who informed the people that the police would not
allow them to hold the meeting, and he therefore
adjourned it to a future time and place. The com-
mittee above referred to, headed by Mr. Cremer,
then walked partly round the foot of the hill, fol-
lowed by a large number of persons. I heard
Cremer say, 'Let us walk about and give the
bobbies a run ; they cannot prevent us walking
about.' I then called off a few constables who were
following, and the committee shortly after left the
park."

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The su;ply of English wheat on sale at Mark•lane to-
day was but moderate. Both for red and white qualities,
however, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took
place in prices, compared with Monday.
In foreign wheat only a moderate business was transacted.
Prices, however, ruled stationary. The show of samples
on the stands was by no means extensive.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
With barley the market was fairly supplied. Generally
speaking the trade was dull, at about Monday's currency.
The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at late rates.
Oats, with which the market was fairly supplied, moved
off slowly, at the prices current on Monday.
Beans and peas were in slow request, on former terms,
In sour sales progressed slowly, at previous quotations.
