MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A fair business Nato; transacted in wheat in the country
markets held on Saturday, and, in some instances, a slight

improvement took place in the quotations. All descriptions
of spring corn ruled firm, at fully late rates. The flour
trade was steady, on former terms.
On the Continent, the corn trade generally is steady, at
full prices. At New York, however, owing to the limited
inquiry for export, the quotations have further declined.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were but moderato. The imports from abroad amounted to
9,826 quarters of wheat, 4,401 barley, 66,707 oats, 3,330 rye,
861 beans, 608 peas, 37 tares, 3,021 linseed, 4,816 oilcakes,
7,705 maze, 282 sacks and 4,351 barrels of flour.
For the time of the year, the arrivals of English wheat
fresh up to market to-day were but very moderate. Nearly
the whole of the produce, hotcevor, came to hand in excel-
lent condition. There was about an average number of
buyers in attendance, yet the trade both for Kent and
Essex produce ruled inactive. Factors not being disposed
to acc:pt less money, the bulk of the supply had, at the
close of business been disposed of at the rates current on
Monday last.
The market was well supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the trade was quiet.
The amount of business transacted was very moderate;
nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and they were without quo-
table change from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at
late rates.
The supply of English barley on sale was small, and the
market was but moderately supplied with foreign produce.
For all descriptions the trade ruled slow, at last Mon-
day's currency.
The malt trade was rather quiet, at previous quotations.
With oats the market was extensively supplied. Both
for English and foreign qualities there was a good de-
mand, and the recent advance in prices was fully supported.
New Irish oats were exhibited for sale.

Beans, the supply of which on sale was small, changed
hands at fully late rates.

For peas the trade was steady, at full quotations. With
English produce the market was scantily supplied.
In flour about an average business was transacted, at last
Monday's currency.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

BOW-STREET.'

TIIE ALLEGED TAMPERING WItH THE SOLDIERS AT
WooLwicit.—A middle-aged, well-dressed man, who gave
the name of Miles Ellison, said he was a " commercial
traveller," and declined to give any:address, was brought
before Mr Flower, charged with stealing a shawl, the pro-
perty of Elizabeth Squire.
Inspector Brennan informed his worship that the pri-
soner was charged on a former day with the present
offence and admitted to bail, the case being remanded. He
was not forthcoming on the next examination, and on in-
quiry being made it was found that he had been taken into
custody at Woolwich for attempting to incite English sol-
diers to desert the '4ueen's service and enlist in the Fede-
ral army. The second charge was investigated, but the
evidence being incomplete he was discharged. lie was then
again apprehended on the present charge.
Elizabeth Squire said she lived at No. 5, Ncw-inn-pas-
rage, Clam market, and was a laundress. The prisoner
took lodgings in her house about three weeks ago. On the
17th he came home with a piece of bacon in his hand and
asked her to lend him some money. She refused to do so.
She then went out for a few minutes and when she returned
she found the prisoner still sitting in the room, hut ho left,
and she heard him enter the house in the middle of the night
with the latch key. In the morning she m;ssed her shawl,
worth £l, and accused the prisoner with stealing it. He
appeared to be very indignant, but witness called
in a constable and gave him into custody. At
the police station he said he would make her smart for
placing him under lock and key, and threatened to bring
an action for false imprisonment. The prisoner was re-
manded. The shawl now produced by the pawnbroker's
assistant was her property.

Prisoner—Was I not intoxicated on the 17th ?
Witness—You were apparently very drunk, and that was
the reason I was anxious to get you out of my house, but
you wouldn't go.
Prisoner—Did I go on in a wild and extraordinary man-
ner? Did I seem strange?

Witness—Yes ; you went on barking like a dog, and
making strange noises like a cat.
Albert Redding, assistant to Mr (latch, a pawnbroker, of
Stanhope-street, said the prisoner pledged the shawl pro -
duced on the_lBth for 53, lie gave the name of John
Atkinson.

Mr Flower—Was there anything peculiar in his manner
then ?

Witness—Nothing whatever.
Police-constable F 75, apprehended the prisoner.
A Wociwich constable stated the circumstances of the
charge preferred against the prisoner at that place. The
prisoner was seen about Woolwich treating soldiers, and
eventually he was discovered sleeping within the barracks,
and on inquiry it was ascertained that he done so for three
nights. He was then taken into custody and accused of
trying to induce some of the men to join the Federals. In-
quiry had been made about the prisoner, and it was found
he had been in very respectable employment as a commer-
cial traveller.

The magistrate asked the prisoner what he ba l to say in
answer to the charge.
Prisoner—l have nothing to say, except that I shall re
serve my defence.

The magistrate then fully committed the prisoner for
