him, knocked him down, and gave him a black eye.
Ma Partridge said he could not proceed further with the
case that evening. He had heard of a series of gross
assaults charged against the defendant, and they would
have to go for trial.
Mr Smith said the mates had just been taken out of their
ship. and were quite unprepared. Ho asked that the cap-
tain's bail should be taken for them;
Mr Charles .Young objected. Heavy bail ought to be
demanded, and 24 hours' notice required.
Mr Partridge should require of each defendant his Ow"

Zisca jumped away, but in a few strides Foxholes rushed
to the front, followed by Creme de Vanille, Zisca, and Lady

and Zisca failing to get through waited until arriving at
the distance, where she came out on the outside of Fox-
holes, without any difficulty, and won in a canter by two
lengths; one length separated the second and third, and a
head the third and fourth. The other two passed the post

PORTPATRICK,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday, at Stranraer; Viscount Dalrymple in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The
Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was not
quite so favourable as they could wish, owing to the loss of
the Irish traffic by the withdrawal of the steamboat be-
tween Stranraer and Lame. This showed the absolute ne-
cessityof re-establishing the steamboat service, as they must
depend much more on through than local traffic. The cost
of the Parliamentary proceedings of the company in the last
Session would have been much less had they not encountered
the opposition of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway
Company, which they had no right to expect. He regretted
that the harbour works at Portpatrick ware still in an un-
finished state, as they rendered unremunerativo a large por-
tion of their capital expended on the extension to Port-
patrick. They had come to an agreement with the Cale-
donian Railway Company for working the traffic of the line
on'very favourable terms. The agreement would shortly
be submitted to the shareholders for their approval.
Sir W. DUNBAR seconded the motion for the adoption of
the report, and it was carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

CALLANDER AND OBAN.
A meeting of landowners and occupiers interested in the
formation of this proposed railway was held at Oban on
Wednesday for the purpose of considering the agreement
entered into with the Scottish Central Railway Company.
The heads of the agreement were read and confirmed, and
resolutions were passed to the effect that the proposed lino
of railway when constructed would not only be renumera-
live to the shareholders, but would confer great benefits on
the country through which it was intended to pass. A pro-
visional committee was formed, consisting of Mr Malcolm,
ALP., Captain Campbell, Mr Macfie, and Mr Tennant to
represent the proprietors: and take the necessary steps for
carrying out the undertaking.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were by no means
extensively supplied with English wheat. For all quali-
ties, however, the trade ruled heavy, and prices declined
is per quarter. The barley trade was in a sluggish state,
at drooping currencies. Oats were rather cheaper ; and
for beans, peas. and flour, the trade was very inactive.
Advices from New York report but little inquiry for
wheat, flour, and maize for export. On the Continent the
corn trade generally is dull.
But moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad amounted to 17,606 quarters of wheat, 5,882 barley,
75,322 oats, 185 rye, 1,900 beans, 2,173 peas, 400 tares,
2,055 linseed, 21,632 oilseeds, 1,200 maize, 225 sundry
seeds, 201 sacks, and 2,825 barrels of fl
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were but mo
der ate. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, was
received in excellent condition. Although f Ictors had or-
ders to purchase wheat for seed the trade for all qualities
of home-grown produce was in a most inactive state, and
very little progress could be mado with sales. At the close
of business only a portion of the supply had been disposed
of, at prices showing a reduction, compared with Monday
last, of is per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
large. Owing to the large number of cargoes off coast,
and the high rate of money in the discount market, the
trade ruled heavy for all descriptions, and 4 decline of ls.
per quarter took place in the quotations.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off heavily, and prices
had a downward tendency.

There was a fair supply both of English and foreign
barley on offer. The trade for malting, grinding, and dis-
tilling qualities was very inactive, and the prices realised
were is. per quarter lower than on Monday last.
The malt trade was dull, and a decline of is per gun.-
took place in prices.

The supply both of English and foreign oats on sale
was very large. There was decidedly less activity in the
demand for nearly all descriptions. However, a fair
amount of business was transacted, chiefly at a decline in
prices of 6d per quarter.
In the trade for beans there was Jesse firmness. New
qualities, however, supported previous rates, but old parcels
declined in value ls. per quarter•

was moderate, at the recent fall in prices. The demand fur

and rapeseed met a steady sale at full quotations. For other

PORTPATRICK.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday, at Stranraer; Viscount Dalrymple in the chair.
The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The
Eun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was not
quite so favourable as they could wish, owing to the loss of
the Irish traffic by the withdrawal of the steamboat be-
tween Stranraer and Lame. This showed the absolute ne-
cessityof re-establishing the steamboat service, as they must
depend much more on through than local traffic. The cost
of the Parliamentary proceedings of the company in the last
Session would have been much less had they not encountered
the opposition of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway
Company, which they had no right to expect. He regretted
that the harbour works at Portpatrick were still in an un-
finished state, as they rendered unremunerative a large por-
tion of their capital expended on the extension to Port-
patrick. They had come to an agreement with the Cale-
donian Railway Company for working the traffic of the line
on'very favourable terms. The agreement would shortly
be submitted to the shareholders for their approval.
Sir W. DUNBAR seconded the motion for the adoption of
the report, and it was carried unanimously.
