MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The eur ply of home-grown wheat on solo at Mark-lane
to-day was very moderate. The demand, however, ruled
far from active, yet the bulk was disposed of, and no cnange
took place in prices compared with Monday.
There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
The amount of business transacted was very moderate, but
holders were firm, and Monday's currency was supported.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, but at full

prices.
With barley the market was moderately supplied. The

-LACED TEA.—Lady Clermont's physician had
re commended a moderate use:of stimulants to supply
that energy which was deflcent in her system, and brandy
bad been suggested in a prescribed quantity to be mixed
with her tea. I remember well having my curiosity excited
by this, to me, noTel form of taking medicine, and
holding on by the back of a chair to watch the modus ope•
randi. Very much to my astonishment Lady Clermont
held a liqueur bottle over a cup of tea, and began to pour
out its contents, with a peculiar purblind look upon the
back of a teaspoon. Presently she seemed suddenly to be •
come aware of what she was about, turned up the spoon the
right way, and carefully measured and added the quantity
to which she had been rcsttictsd. The tea so strongly
"laced" she then drank with great apparent gusto.—The

A REBUKE.—Host.—" Fish is very expensive
just now, I can tell you. This salmon cost mo Two-and-
sixpence a pound 1" Guest (no business of his)—"

Tuna

Defendant—NA quite ; water disagrees with me (laugh-
ter), and working in the liundry makes me thirsty.
Mr Tyrwhitt—You are the most incorrigible old woman
in all London, and you spend three parts of your time in
prison. You must pay ss. or be committed for 14 days.
OußAGnous CONDUCT —John Mulcahy, a rough look-
ing fellow, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with being
drunk and disorderly, and assaulting the wife of Mr Tapps,
of the Bay Mallon Tavern, Great Portland-street, and ho
was also charged with wilfully breaking a looking glass
and foul glasses, the property of Mr Tapp.
Edward Prior, barman to Mr Tapp, said that about half
past four yesterday afternoon the prisoner came in and
called for some ale, with which he was served. The priso-
ner then got into conversation with some persons in the
house, and after paying for the ale, called for some beer,
which he did not pay for. About half an hour afterwards
he told the prisoner he had not paid for the beer, and that
ho had better pay on delivery. The prisoner then became
very abusive, making use of the most abusive language
He then told the prisoner that he had better leave the house,
when he went to a table and took up a pint pot. Thinking
the prisoner was going to do some mischief with it, he took
it from him. The prisoner then took up another measure,
and flung it with great force at him, but fortunately las
avoided it, as also did Mrs Tapp, who was standing close
by, the measure passing not more than an inch from their
heads, and smashing a looking-glass and four glasses, a
piece of the looking-glass falling on Mrs Tapp's head and
cutting it. He then jumped over the counter and secured
the prisoner, and prevented him committing any further
violence, and sent for the police and gave him into custody.
Mr Tapp having proved the amount of damage,
Mrs Tapp said she heard the prisoner making use of the
most disgusting and abusive language. The prisoner was
allowed half an hour before being asked to pay for the beer,
and was asked civilly for the money. She was standing
close to the barman when the prisoner threw the measure,
which nearly struck her, and a piece of the looking-glass
fell on her head and cut it, making it blood and leaving a
scar.

The prisoner said he was drunk, and did not remember
anything about it.
Seymour, 76 E, said, on going to the house he found the
barman and the prisoner struggling together. The prisoner
was drunk.

Mr Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s, or 14 days, for the
assault, and ordered him to pay the amount of damage, 15s,
and a fine of 58, or to be committed fur 14 days,

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBING A MASTER.--Emma Elizabeth Moore and
Margaret Dyson, two very ladylike women, wero charged
with stealing various articles, the property of Mrs Edith
Eliza Pym, an independent lady, residing at 11, Claverton-
street, Pimlico.

Mr Horatio Pyre, a gentleman, son of Mrs Pym, said
that his mother, for a considerable time past, had been
robbed. From information received he went on Tuesday
to London-street, Ratcliff, and there found Mrs Dyson,
who is a married woman only 17 years of age, and gave her
at once into custody. Her lodgings wero searched, and
some knives and forks, cups and saucers, gloves, and
other articles were found, which witness identified as the
property of the family. There was also a linen cover
which had belonged to a deceased member of the family.
Ha went back to Claverton street and gave Moore into
custody. The prisoners were sisters, and Moore was cook
to his mother. Dyson's husband was at sea running the
blockade, and he did not wish her to be severely punished.
the things were valued at 10s.

Mrs Jane Pacy, Dyson's landlady, No. 1, London-street,
Ratcliff, sail that Dyson lasd lodged with her five months,
and had b.en married four months. Her husband was at
sea. Her sister frequently brought things to her, and she
went every other Saturday to Claverton-street, slept there,
and returned on the Monday, bringing various articles with
aer. Witness had known both prisoners at Lyme Regis,
tn. Dorsetshire. Dyson bore an excellent character, tut
Aoore's cuaracter was bad. The prisoner Dyson had given
notice to leave when apprehanded.
John llornblow, detective sergeant, of the K division,
proved apprehending the prisoners—eno at Ratoliff, and
the other (Moore) at Pimlico. Moore denied the robbery,
and nearly fainted when told by witness ho was an officer
and should apprehend her. The charge was read over, and
Moore confessed the robbery, and sad that she had given
the things to her sister.

Pris Iner Dyson said, is defence, her sister had given her
the things, and said they were bought and paid for.
They were remanded till Friday,

THAMES,

TUB CONVICT'S WIFE --A REGULAR SHOPLIFTER.--
A. woman, about thirty years of age, who gave the name of
Louisa Bull, but whose real name is Gates, the wife of a
conviot, was brought before lir Partridge, on remand,
charged with shoplifting.

Elizabeth Emma Partridge, of 40, Martha-street, St,
George-in-the-East, said that on Saturday evening, about
nine o'clock, she went into her master's shop and saw the
prisoner there, looking at some ribbons shown to her by
another female, named Strasmore, who said, "There was a
mauve ribbon in one of those boxes, is it there now I" Wit-
ness looked, and said, " No, it is not there." The prisoner
said the missing ribbon was in one of the green boxes.
TA showed the prisoner the boxes. The ribbon was
not there. She begged of the prisoner to move from
the counter, and said, "It ma) have fallen over
the counter on to the floor, It was not there. She then
asked the prisoner to look in her pocket, and told her it
might have fallen into her pocket. The prisoner said she had
nothing in her pocket but what she had paid for, and took
up her pocket and held it out. She then took the prisoner
into the kitchen, and she sat down in the chair. Mary
Halt, another shopwoman, came in, and said she had bettor
take the ribbon out of her pocket, and that was all she
wanted. The prisoner said she should not. Mr Hancock,
a member of the prosecutor's establishment, came in, and
said he should fetch a policeman if she did not give up the
ribbon. She said she did not care who was fetched.
Mr Hancock then went out and brought in a policeman, to
whom the prisoner was given in charge. The prisoner then
dropped a neck-Lie from her pocket in the kitchen.
Caroline Strasmore, in the service of Mr John Hall, an
extensive linendrapor in the Whitcchapel-road and Martha
street, said the prisoner first looked at some neck ties, and
then said she would not have any. The prisoner then
asked for ribbons, and looked at a great many pieces. There
were none that would suit her. Witness missed a roll of
ribbon from the box on the counter, and told the other
assistant the ribbon could not be found. Tho witness then
identified 13 neck ties, two pieces of ribbon, and three pairs
of drawers, valued in all at 30s. The prisoner droppodsorne
of the property from her person. The remainder was taken
from her.

In answer to a question by the prisoner, the witness said
.—You had selected one pair of drawers.
Charles Stannard, a police-constable, No. 439 K, was
called to the shop of Mr John Hall, in Martha-street, and
took the prisoner into custody. Before she was searched
she dropped seven or eight neckties at his feet in the station-
house, She asked if he would not settle it. He said, "No,
I can do nothing cf the kind." She said, "It is done, and
I have done it before." He saw her take a roll of ribbon
from her pocket, and put it back again. Ho afterwards re-
ceived the same roll from the female searcher. The searcher
also took some neckties and three pairs of drawers from the
prisoner's pocket. The prisoner was the wife of a convict
named Gates, and she had been often in custody.
The prisoner, in defence, said she was very tipsy when
she committed the robbery.
Mr Partridge—lt is the most deliberate case of shoplift-
ing I ever met with, and I have no doubt it is not your
first offence. You are committed for trial.

MARSDEN, TUE LEEDS FORGER.—It will be re•
membered that this person, an ironfounder at Leeds
and Castleford, escaped to America shortly after the collapse
of the Leeds Banking Company, which establishment had
negotiated forged paper for him to the extent of £70,C00„
From the examination which has been conducted into
Marsden's affairs by the assignees, it would appear that he

accounts in no fewer than five other banks, including
ono in Leicestershire, and three is the North and West
Ridings of Yorkshire. In each of these establishments
there is a small balance lying to his credit. Ho was also
connected with some seven companies under the Limited
Liability Act, in two of which his name figured as a direc-
tor. Occasionally, by way of satisfying the scruples of the
Leeds Banking Company, as to the bona fide nature of his
transactions with business men, Marsden would adopt the
following plan :—He would accept a bill, drawn in favour
of "Messrs. Jack Straw and Co., machine makers,"
for £500; send an impersonator of " Jack Straw," to the
bank, who would bring back the cash and hand it to Mars-
den. the remuneration being probably a glass of gin and a
crown piece. Several of such instances of defrauding the
bank Lave already transpired, Marsden was also able to do
a fair buihess with the ironfuunders, who had found they
could buy castings from him at about £1 less per ton than
they couli make them for themselves.

CRYSTAL PALACE—ONE SHILLING DAY,TheSday,
Nov. I.—Admissions on payment, I,396—ditto by season
tickets, 614—total vibitors, 2,010.

We are generally in extremes at Worcester. Either it is
hard going, or we are splashing through water up to the
fetlocks in mud, This year " the faithful city" has dropped
its bad character. and, with a clear and balmy atmosphere
and the ground in good order, the meeting has brought
together large fields and a very tolerable attendance. War-
rior, pulling double all the way, carried off the Handicap
Sweepstakes, and landed the odds laid cn him very easily.
For the hurdle race West-and, from Wadlow 's stable, was
made a prodigious favourite, but, refusing at the first flight,
extinguished his chance and the hopes of his backers. Mo-
rocco, whom Nightingall was scarcely able to hold, took up
the running from this point, and after a race with Ross won
cleverly by a neck, Au objection was raised by the owner
of Roes that the other horses had act jumped the re-
quired number of hurdles, but it was overruled. The
Nursery brought out, as it always does here, a good field
for the half-mile scamper, in which Lcoville Equandered
her horses with the greatest ease. The Autumn Handicap
was thought a good thing for Prince Plausible, who with
the top weight of Bst 41b found he could not give 281 b
to Grosvenor when it came to the finish, Lord Wilton's
colt running very cleverly. The Severn Bank Steeple-
chase—with rather bad judgment, seeing the light was
waning, placed last on the card—had a field of a dozen,
the winner turning up, after less than the usual inci-
dents, in Acrobat, who made most of the running, and
cantered in with only Meanwood near him.

ages. Winners extra. About a mile, starting at the
Grand Stand. 12 subs.

Warrior got away slightly in front, but was immediately
pulled back, and the running was taken up by Lothian's
King, closely followed by Vanquisher, Norma, Countersign,
and Warrior, in the order we have given them, to the river
side turn, where Vanquisher obtained a decided lead, Coun-
tersign at the same time runnirg wide, being loft in their
rear. At the half-mile post Warrior joined his horses, the
three running together to the half-distance, where Grim-
shaw brought the favourite to the front, and won easily by
three parts of a length. There were three lengths between
the second and third ; Lothian's King finished a bad fourth;
Countersign was beaten a long way.

Douche on the far side was the first away, closely attended
by Little Dick, Morocco, and Clementi to the first flight of
hurdles, which they cleared cleverly, but on Overton and
the favourite following they bolted to the left and were lett
a long way behind. Un passing the stand Morocco, over-
pulling Nightingale, rushed to the front and cleared the
hurdles, slightly in advance of Clementi and Douche, who
were followed by Little Lady, Ross, Bowman, and Little
Dorrit, West-end, who followed, being a long way in their
rear. They ran thus to the mile-post, where Little Lady
headed Morocco, and came on with a decided lead, Douche
lying third, with Ross,Littlo Dick, and Bowman next to the
turn for home, where Morocco again came in the front, and,
with Ross and Bowman in close company, ran to the dis-
tance, where Bowman was beaten, leaving the two to finish

;ho race home, Mr BAker's nomination Winning very cleverly

at last by a neck ; four lengths between the second and
third; Little Lady was fourth, Little Dick fifth, and Little
Dorrit sixth. Douche, Clementi, and Overton trotted some
distance in their rear, but.did not pass the post. West-end

returned to the enclosure after his refusal. On returning to

scale Mr Lincoln made en objection to the winner on the
ground of having gone the wrong oourse, and, after hear.
ing evidence thereon, the race was awarded to the owner of
Morocco.

Upwards of half an hour was lost at the post in consequence
of the fractiousness of Purity, resolutely refusing to face
the flag. W hen the flag was lowered they got away nearly in
a line, Leoville, lying in the centre, having a slight lead of

Vision, Bunny Lass, Cedric, and Lucy Long, the others,

headed by the Cannobie filly, Wings of the Wind, Love
Letter, and Guildhall, lying close in their rear. On their
fairly entering the straight Leoville drew away, closely at-
tended by Cedric, Vision, Mr Baker's filly, and Lucy Long
—but on reaching the distance the Cannobie filly came out,
but failed to reach the leader, who won very easily by three
quarters of a length--a length between second and third,
and a head between the third and fourth. Il Re Galatatuo-

steamer Sacramento has come up Southampton Water, and
after transshipping some invalids on board the German
mail packet, bound here for New York, will, it is expected,
proceed to sea again this afternoon.
