THAMES,

CAUTION TO RUFFIANS.—Edward Downey, a very
rough-looking fellow, aged 31, of No. 37, Devonshire-place,
St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr Partridge
charged with being drunk and disorderly inside the Blue
Posts publichouse, in the West India-road, Limehouse, and
refusing to leave when requested by Mr Charles R. Balls,
the landlord.

This was a proceeding under a recent Act of Parliament
relating to houses of public entertainment. The prisoner
entered the Blue Posts last even.ng, at half-past 5 o'clock
and demanded refreshment. Mr Balls refused to serve him
and told him he had been forbidden the house in conse-
quence of his (prisoner's) riotous conduct in the house. The
prisoner refused to leave the house, and made a great dis-
turbance. He abused Mr Balls, and made a great dis-
turbance. He was ordered to leave the house, and on his
refusal Cawse, a covetable, was sent for, who took the pri.
soner into custody. The prisoner was very turbulent, and
interrupted the business of the public house.
The prisoner said he had been at work in a corn vessel
yesterday, and did 50 quarters. lie went with his work-
mates to the Blue Posts to settle their wages and accounts,
and after they had 7 or 8 pots of porter he wanted another
pot, and the landlord refused to serve him.

Mr Balls said he would not supply the prisoner with
any thing, drunk or sober, and that ho was the terror of
the household.

Mr Partri te said the landlord was quite justified in
what he had done. The proprietors of public houses and
their servants had no right, and were not bound to serve,
drunken and disorderly customers. Every person miscon-
ducting himself in a publichouse and not leaving when
requested, was liable to a fine. Ho sentenced the prisoner
to pay a penalty of 40s or be imprisoned 21 days.
The prisoner was committed.

MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market today the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. The trade, however,
was dull for all qualities; nevertheless, selected parcels
steadily supported previous quotations.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied, Red
American descriptions moved off steadily at full prices,
otherwise the trade was dull on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late
rates.

There was a full average supply of barley on the stands.
The trade even for malting descriptions ruled heavy, and
inferior produce changed hands at low prices.
The malt trade was dull, and prices had a drooping
tendency.

Owing to the large arrival of oats the oat trade ruled
heavy, and the quotations were somewhat easier.
Beans and peas were in slow request, at about stationary

prices.

Flour moved off slowly, at late rates.
