CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.

William Rory Borcham was placed at the bar before
Mr. Corrie, charged with being drunk and making a
disturbance at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and also with
assaulting the constable.
Mr. Reynolds, the constable at the theatre, stated that
last night the prisoner, in company with some others,
went to the boxes of the theatre, and being drunk,
/shortly after their entrance, began to make a disturbance.
Apon being remonstrated with the prisoner refused to
desist, and he therefore proceeded to eject him, when
the prisoner became very violent, and struck at him
several times. In the course of the struggle the prisoner
tore the prosecutor's coat across the arm, and inflicted
other injuries. There were several othbr persons present
who witnessed the assault, and who also complained of
the prisoner's conduct. Had it not been that there was
a benefit at the theatre, the prisoner and his party would
not have been admitted.

Other evidence having been given,
The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry, and
that nothing of the kind should occur again.
Mr. CORRIE said he must protect the officers of this
well-conducted theatre, and fined the defendant the
amount of the damage done to the cfficer's coat, and alio
five shillings for being drunk.

ORCESTER CATHEDRAL.—The numerous little
spires whisk once gave a peculiar character to our Cathedral
have now all been taken down except one, and that is also to
be removed shortly: They had become so dilapidated as to
rock to and fro, and threaten iniimnent danger to the struc-
ture beneath. We believe it is the intention of the Dean
i
and Chapter, f not to replace the spires (which, probably,
formed no part of the present Cathedral as it at first stood),
at least to supply their places by such terminations as may

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti.
mated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The marke
closed heavily with prices as compared with Friday's
rates, Brazil id. higher, American at and
under sd. were 1.16 d. in favour of buyers.
The sales comprised 4,000 American, 250
Pernam and Maranham at Sad. to 61d., 20 Bahia at
6id., 100 Egyptian at bid. to Bd., 500 Surat at 3id. to
4d., and 40 Sea island at Is. lid. to Is. sid. per lb.—ln
Railway Shares a good business was done at higher
prices.
The state of the London Dried Fruit trade is thus
described by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:—
" Our clearances of Currants are an indication of con-
siderable sales, to effect which the holders have been
obliged to submit to a further reduction in price. The
business has been limited for the most part to Upper
GOO and low quality, fine and good fruit being scarce,
or, if offered for sale, not finding an adequate price.
" Notwithstanding the late extensive shipments of old
fruit from this part to the continent, and the fact of
several direct cargoes of Island Fruit being on
the way thither, there is still a good inquiry from 110 l
land, where several cargoes of Island and good Patras
were purchased last week, not so much for immediate
resale and consumption as for investment by capitalists,
whose attention has been called to the extraordinary
low price of the articles. The decline in Currants in
this market since the commencement of the present
season has been about 20 to 25 per cent. on the long
price, but as our Customs' duty now constitutes one half
or more of that price, this decline is equivalent to 50
per cent., and in some instances 60 per cent., upon the
original cost price in Greece."
Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New
Orleans, February 28, and published by Mr. James
Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars re-
lative to the state of the Cotton Market:—" Oar last
Circular, dated 14th inst., advised great briskness in our
Cotton Market; the transactions have since been quite
extensive, amounting to 93,300 bales during the past
fortnight. Prices have fluctuated slightly, and are now
about the same. Our last accounts from Liverpool
(11th inat,) announce a small decline in that market, but
as its cause is ascribed to large arrivals, without any
discouraging feature in trade, this news has scarcely
produced any effect here; wo may from time to time
yet have irregularities in our rates, but we persist in
our opinion that no permanent, material decline can be
looked for while the present general demand continues
to prevail, and freights and exchange remain favourable,
as at this present moment, combined with the light stock
for sale. Our receipts during the last two weeks sum
up 95,639 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary,
64- to 7; low middling, 71 to 7i; middling, 7ir
to 71; good middling, 7-1 to 8; middling fair,
to 8i; fair, 84 to 9. Sales during the two weeks,
93,300 bales. Receipts at this port, 872,515 bales,
against 696,538 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 163,184 bales. Increase of total experts to
Great Britain, 103,274 bales. Increase of total exports
to France, 26,146 bales; and to other foreign ports 2,673
against last year."
The public sales of Colonial Produce have been of very
limited extent to-day, and scarcely any auctions are
announced for to-morrow. The stock of tea in London
on the 16th instant was 38,580,0001b5. against
29,050.0001b5. at the corresponding period ofJast year.
An official statement of the amount of loans made by
the Commissioners for Public Works has been com-
pleted up to the 14 January, 1852:—The sum advanced
for canals, rivers, and drainage, was 1,261,5001. at 5

The weather in the north of England has been
exceedingly mild—almost sultry, in fact, at present; and
fears are entertained of a recurrence of less genial weather,
with all the accompaniments of sickness and damage to the
unduly yegetated crops. So extreme is the warmth that
at three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the thermometer stood
