BOROUGH HOP.

Compared with our last report, no change hes taken place
in the value of any kind of hops, bat the market has exhi-
bited considerable quietude. The prospects at the planta-
tions have not varied. In several districts a good crop is
looked forward to, but in some parts there will certainly be
a limited growth. A parcel of new hops has been on offer,
and has been disposed of at £l2 per cwt. Laut week's
import was 10 bales from Hamburg, and 47 bales from
Boulogne,

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool held last week went off
with a fair amount of animation. Home buyers purchased
freely, but the amount of business transacted for export
was very moderate. American buyers appear to be scarcely
in the market, and the demand on French and Belgian
account is far from extensive. The value, however, both
of Cape and Australian produce is well supported. The
sales will close on Friday next, the 21st inst. In the pri-
vate contract market English wool commands a fair sale,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

The August Session of the Central Criminal Court com-
menced this morning at the Sessions Houses, Old Bailey,
before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, who sat as locum tenens
for the Lord Mayor, the Recorder (lfr. Russell Gurney),
Alderman William Lawrence,Alderman Allen, the Sheriffs,
Alderman J. C. Laurence, and Hugh Jones, Esq., Mr.
Under-sheriff Mackrell, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar, and
other civic authorities.

The calendar contains a list of 116 persons for trial, the
offences for the most part being of the ordinary character.
The grand jury having been sworn,

The Recorder, in delivering his charge, remarked upon
the absence from the calendar of any charge of wilful mur-
der ; there were, however, two cases of assaults with intent
to murder or do grievous bodily harm. In the first case a
man named Henry Tink was charged with cutting the
throat of his brother, Charles John Tink. It appeared
from the depositions that the prisoner had invited his
brother to come to London to obtain work, but failed to ob-
tain any. They slept together, and during the night the
prisoner unbuttoned his brother's shit, but at the time his
brother took no notice of it and fell asleep. Soon after
he felt a cutting at his throat ; he called out
"Murder," and then discovered his brother with a
razor in his hand cutting at his throat. Two other per-
sons were sleeping in the same room and came to his
assistance, and the prisoner was prevented doing any further
injury. The razor was found in the bed covered with
bleed. There was no doubt that the prosecutor's throat
had been seriously cut and wounded, and the only question
ww. by whom the wound was inflicted. There was another
case in which a woman, named Eliza Robins, was charged
with administering poison to two of her infant children.
She was seen to go into a pastrycook's and buy a tart, and
then cover it with a white powder, part of which she gave
to one of the children, and the rest she put into the mouth
of the other infant in her arms. On being charged with
attempting to poison her children, she endeavoured
to excuse herself by saying that she was not able to
support them, and did not like their going to the work-
house. Upon the facts, as stated in the depositions they
would have no difficulty in sending the case for trial.
There were no less than seven charges of manslaughter. In
one case a man named Josph Bsgint was charged with kill-
ing a woman with whom he cohabited, named Ann Giffen .
It appeared that on the 3d of August she came home, when
the prisoner charged her with being drunk, he himselt
having been drinking. He commenced beating her, and
she was heard to cry out, "Don't beat me so, you will
kill me ;" when he replied he would do so before he had
done with her. He then knocked her down, and the day
after she died. On examination it was found one of her
ribs was broken and it had penetrated the lung. There was
also a wound on the skull, and there was no doubt that the
injuries were the cause of death. There was also a case of
a woman named Sullivan, charged with stabbing and kill-
ing a man named White, with whom she cohabited. It ap-
peared that there had been a quarrel between them, and
that the deceased was endeavouring to force the prisoner
out of the room, when she took up the knife and stabbed
the deceased, and no doubt one of the main arteries was
cut, causing the death. The wound was inflicted in a fit of
passion, which reduced the offence from murder to man-
slaughter. The learned Recorder then remarked on the
several other cases of manslaughter, and after some few
other observations the jury retired to their duties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STREET RuPFTANlsM.—William Jackson, of 5, Coram-
street, Russell-square, marine store dealer, and John
Hamilton, of 15, Dean-street, Spitalfields, were charged
before Mr. Tyr 'Mitt with being drunk and disorderly; and
Hamilton was further charged with assaulting Sergeant
Thomas Dodsworth, 293 A, and Mr. James Parkhurst,
foreign china dealer, of 6, Cambridge-street, Golden-square,
who went to the assistance of the sergeant.
The sergeant saw the prisoners, shortly before one this
morning, drunk, fighting together, and making a great
disturbance outside one of the ice shops in Oxford-street,
and on requesting them to go away they made use of the
most disgusting language, and refused to leave. The ser-
geant then attempted to take them into custody, when
Hamilton threw himself on the ground and kicked him
about the shins. Mr. Parkhurst, who was on his way
home with his wife, seeing the sergeant illused. went to his
assistance, and some constables arriving, the prisoners were
taken to the station, and while on the way Hamilton deli.
berately kicked Mr. Parkhurst in a violent manner—Mr.
Parkhurst at the time being engaged in carrying the con.
stable's hat.

Jackson said that on coming 3ut of the ice shop his wife
said she had lost her watch, and the sergeant said it was
more likely that he (Jackson) had taken one, and then there
was a disturbance.

Hamilton said it was no use saying any }king.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Jackson 20s. or 14 days, and Hamil-
ton 408. or two months for the assault on Mr. Parkhurst,
and 10s. or 14 days for assaulting the sergeant.
THE PESTS OF THE PARKS.—A well dressed German,
named Wilhelm Iluntebrunk, who de-cribed himself as a
sugar baker at Whitechapel, was charged with grossly im-
proper conduct in Hyde-park, near Grosvenor-gate.
The case having been proved by Lloyd, a constable of
the A division,

The prisoner, through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said
he was a foreigner, and that he had only been in London a
short time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the foreigners must behave them-
selves as well as other people, and his being a foreigner
was no excuse, for he must be well aware that in his own
country he would be punished for such conduct.
The prisoner was then committed for three months with
hard labour.
