THE COUNTRY MARKETS•

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 6.—There was a good attendance
here to-day, and the demand for wheat was pretty
general, at an advance of 2d to 3d per 701b5., and in lair
6d to is per barrel and sack. Oats and oatmeal held
firmly at last week's rates. In other articles a small
basiness done, without change in prices. Wheat, 1,000;
barley, 1,553; malt, 781. Foreign wheat, 809; beans,
105; barley, 790; oats. 1,118; flour, 1,300 sacks.
LEEDS, JAN. 6.—Oar arrivals of grain were small.
Millers follow the advance on wheat very reluctantly,
yet the value creeps up, and our rates to-day exceed
those of Friday, being is per qr. beyond the prices of
this day se'nnight. Barley was fully as high as at Wake-
field, and it continues scarce. No change in oats, beans,
or other articles. Arrivals—wheat, 2,134; oats, 149;
barley, 1,171; beans, 385; malt. 57.
EDINBURGH MEAL MARKET, JAN. 6.—There were in
the meal market to-day 9 sacks oatmeal, each weighing
2801bs. imperial, which sold thus :-9 at 1/ 9s Od,
average price of the whole 119 s Odo-12ths. 3 sacks pot-barley,
which sold thus :-1 at 25,, and 2 at 235. _ _

A gentleman named Webb, who was with the de-
fendant, said the comb seller charged him with steal-
ing his combs, and having thus got a crowd about him
and the defendant, some one in the crowd struck
him, upon which the defendant certainly did use his
stick.

Mr. BINGEIAM thought that after making every
allowance for the circumstances in which the accused
had been placed, be had flourished his stick, and con-
ducted his defence without sufficient discrimination ;
and as the weapon had fallen with such serious effect
oil the head of an innocent person, a fine of 40s. must
be imposed for the assault.
MARYLEBONE.
John Crawley, a pugilist, who has latterly obtained
a livelihood by exhibiting the art of self-defence at
fairs, races, &c., was brought up for re-examination,
charged with having robbed and in a most brutal
manner assaulted Henry Sparling, a fellow lodger, at
No. 1, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square.
The evidence showed that as complainant was sit-
ting quietly by the fire in his room the prisoner who
was drunk entered therein, and without saying a word
to him kicked him and knocked bim down by a tre-
mendous blow upon the head ; while he (complainant)
was lying upon the floor, prisoner stole from him three
sixpences, and before he had time to regain his legs
seized him by the nose so firmly with his teeth as to
nearly bite it through ; another person, who was pre-
sent, rushed forward to his assistance, and by thrott-
ling the prisoner succeeded in dragging him away and
giving him into custody of police-constable Phillips,
11] D.
The prisoner in answer to the charge said that he
was first attacked by the complainant after they had
had a few angry words together.
It was stated that the prisoner was a very desperate
character, and had frequently been charged with vio-
lent outrages on the police, in addition to which he
was once in custody for knocking down a gentleman
in Oxford-street.
Mr. BROUGUITON did not consider that the allega-
tion of robbery had been clearly established, but for
the savage attack upon complainant he fined the pri-
soner 51. or two months in the House of Correction.

then residing at Verona. He then held for some years till
office of an Auditor of Public Accounts, but latterly retirf
on a pension, to which, from his long and faithful sere
he was well entitled. His increasing infirmities preven
him of late years from mixing in society, but his may.

throughout a long official life, will be always affectionatelf

SUICIDE IN A PRISON.--A prisoner, under sentence
of transportation, confined in the Manchester Borough G501,f
committed suicide on Tuesday. He had committed a breacv.
of prison discipline, and for that was placed in solitary c 00:
finement for three days, by Captain Lane, the governor, with
orders that he should be fed on bread and water during 1"'
confinement. While in the cell he put an end to his exist'
v
ence by hanging, and was found dead by the turnkeys. Ile
was only tried last week at the Quarter Sessisns for the
borough.
