THAMES,

A PERSEVERING LOVER.-Mr. Stoddart, soliciter, came
before Mr. Partridge, after the applications for warrants,
summonses, and advice had been heard, and the first night
charge had been placed in the dock, and after an apology
for the interruption, requested a tall, military looking man,
with what the ladies call a handsome moustache, to step
into the witness box, and he did so very quickly. Mr.
Stoddart then said,-1 know lam behind time, but this case
is a very urgent one. My client paid his addresses to a
young woman, and they were to be married, but unfortu-
nately about 12 months ago he lost his father, and his
mother was left a widow with a large family to main-
tain. The young man, from prudential considerations,
gave up the idea of marriage, and devoted his time and
attention to his widowed mother and her family. His
intended bride, however, insisted on his fulfilling his pro-
mise to marry her, and on his refusal to do so, her love
changed to hatred. She annoyed and insulted him and
threatened to take his life. lie was at last compelled to
seek the protection of the law, and she was bound over to
keep the peace towards him by your worship or your
colleague. She has lately demanded a renewal of the tender
and honourable intercourse which formerly existed between
them. He has refused to halve anything to do with her,
and she has threatened him with revenge, and recommenced
her system of annoyance. She has threatened him, created
a disturbance, and been to his place of abode several times
and called him out. I believe she will injure him very
seriously if she is not restrained.

Mr. Partridge—Take your summons.
Mr. Stoddart—A. peace summons against the lady for
using threatening language. It is necessary it should be
granted immediately—my client holds a situation in the
Church establishment, and it is in danger through the con-
duct of the female in question.
The summons was then made out.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat by land carriage were small, and the receipts by
water extremely limited. Both for red and white qualities
the trade ruled firm, and prices advanced is per qr. from
Monday last. _

With foreign wheat the market was by no means exten-
sively supplied. Importers were very firm in their demands,
and all descriptions were held at is per qr. more money. A
very moderate business was, however, transacted.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and prices had an
upward tendency.
For good and fine malting barley there was a steady de-
mand at extreme rates ; otherwise, the barley trade was
quiet on former terms.

Malt was in fair average request at late quotations.
The supply of foreign oats on sale was large. About an
average business was transacted in most descriptions at pro-
vious currencies.

Beans and peas moved off steadily, and late prices were
well supported.

Barrel flour was very scarce, and firm in price. Country
marks met a steady sale, and the quotations had an upward

tendency.
