MARKETS--This Day.

MARK LANE.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day ruled inactive. Good and fine parcels, however, com-
manded rather more attention, at full quotations.
The spring corn trade was in a sluggish state, on former
terms. In flour a moderate business was transacted, at
late rates.

Advices from New York state that good and fine wheat
and flout were in moderate export demand, at rather higher
prices. On the Continent the trade generally is dull.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very small, The imports from abroad amounted to
3,716 quarters of what, 5,222 barley, 27,576 oats, 2,839
beans, 1,503 peas, 292 lin-eed, 2,470 oilseeds, 20 sundry
seeds, and 50 sacks of flour.
A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's market. The demand, however, both
for red and whife qualities ruled inactive, yr-t no change
took place in prices compared will 111‘nday last.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.
Millers operated cant ously in all descriptions, and the
amount or business tran acted was very moderate at about

revious quotations,

Floating ca,goes of grain were in but moderate request
yet prices were fairly sin:ported.
The supply of English barley was very small; but the
show of foreign qualities was moderate. Both grinding and
distilling qualities changed hands slowly, at previous ra es.
Matt was in fair average request, and the qualities ruled
firm.

There was a good supply of foreign oats on the stand
Less activity was observed in the demand, and last Mon-
day's quotations were barely supported.
Beans--the supply of which was but moderate—met a
slow sale, on former terms.

Although the supply of peas was very moderate, all
descriptions sold heavily, at about stationary prices.
The transactions in flour were on a very moderate scale,
at last Monday's quotations,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

OPEN• AIR PREACHING.--The Rey. Richard Hibbs, who
appeared before Mr. Corrie on former occasions for creating

a disturbance by c;llecting a crowd in front of the Duke of

York's C lumn by preaching, and at whose request the
charge was adjourned, again attended this morning to show
hat he was acting within the law, and that the police had
no authority to tcke him into custody.

Inspector Wilson said—ln consequence of the complaints

1 Sir M. Ridley and several members of the clubs, Sir R.
',.l.iyne had directed tho police to prevent preaching n-ar to
he Duke of York's Column, and because Hibbs refused to
esis t he was taken into custody:
Mr. Hibbs—l should like to know if there has been any
pgrticular objection to me

Inspector Wilson—Yes, several gentlemen of the clubs
have frequently complained.
Mr. Hibbs—You don't call that a complaint of the in•

abitants

Mr. Corrie--I don't see under what section in the police

,et you are proceeding.
Mr. Hibbs—Neither do I see any section which declares
ore4ching a nuisance. How do you make it a nuisance

nd annoyance?
Inppector Wilson—By the crowd collecting.
Mr. Hibbs—Did you find the crowd and myself dis-

wderly ?
Inspector Wilson—No. There was no disorder, but you
ware proceeding at the top of your voice, and have been
told that the members of the Athenaeum Club have been
,mpelld during the hot weather to close their windows in
consequence of the annoyance.
Mr. Corrie—That is the club to which the learned men

belong.
Mr. Hibbs—Can you say the distance from the
A.theLzum at which I was preaching ?

Inspector Wilson—No, not exac,ly, but I should say
about 60 feat.

Mr. Hibbs—Well, would it be possible to select a more
desirable site for the purpose of preach ng
Inspector Wilson Supposing preaching was allowed
there I should say you could not take up a better spot,

It was nearly in the centre.
Mr. Hibbs—Now, referring to the complaint of Sir M.
Ridley, do you consider that the persons who were listen-
ing to my preaching could be called " noisy rabble and
bad characters ?"

Inspector Wilson—Well, I can't say that. There was a
arge crowd, and you were preaching. As you refused to
o away, I took you into custody.
Mr. Hibbs— And that led to a breach of the peace occa-
ooned b) the constable.

Mr. eorrie—You do not act in this matter under any
particular section of the act, but from the general order you
ceive, to disperse all erov•ds ?

Inspector—Yes, your worship, that is so.
Mr. Corrie—The better course for you to adopt, Mr,
libbs, as you contend you have done no wrong, is to show
ne the right you have to be there.
Mr. Hibbs—There was no obstruction to begin with.
Mr. Corrie—There were, according to your own state-

amt., about 200 pen.ons listening to you.
Mr. Hibbs—There was enough room for two carriages to
pass together between the crowd and the kerbstone. There
.vas no obstruction, and I do complain of the conduct of the

The Rev. G. Townshend, incumbent of St. Michael's
Burleigh-street, said he knew Mr. Hibbs, and he con:
-idered hie preaching was quite of a consistent nature. He
ad sten Mt. Ulndstone listening to Mr. Hibbs preaching.
Mr. Brook, of Newgate-street, said Mr. Hibbs was most
-erupulous in his observance of the law. In addition to
\ir. Gladstone, he had noticed the Baron ano
Baroness Bernstorff, the Duke of Leinstt r, and
,thers of the not.ilily listening to his preaching.
With respect to the members of the Athenaeum
'lub, he did not wonder at their shutting down their win-
tows; he was only surprised they did not draw down the
alinds. (Laughter.) _they sat all Sunday reading news-
Jape' s, and amore irreligi,us body of people he did not know.
(Laughter.) He considered that the proceedings of Mr.
Hibbs had had a beneficial effect rather than otherwise, for
to had fn quently seen many highly influential personages
listening to him.
Mr. Mathew H. Field, of 24, King's-road, Notting-hill,
.poke of the orderly manner of the crowd.
Inspector Wilson—There had been no less than seven
Persons preaching in the space before the column that par-
' icular Sunday.
M. Hibbs—l cannot see, as beyond all dr übt the Bishop
~t London and Lord Wrottesley Russell have preached in
he open air in Covent-garden market, that I can be c)n-
ildered to have committed any offence against the law.
After a long discussion with the riv. gentleman,
Mr. Collie said ho did not think Mr. Hibbs had a right
to preach in the place he had selected, and as the police had
prevented the repetition, he was not called upon to proceed
further with the matter.

Mr. Hibbs—l don't know but what I've a cause of action
or illegal arrest Against the constable.
Mr. Corrie—l've nothing to do with that.
The rev. gentleman and his friends then left the court.

that she was not killed on the spot. I shall send the case
to a jury.
The prisoner, who has frequently been charged with as-
saults on his wife, was then committed for trial.

WESTMINSTER.
A " MODEL" SoN.—Joseph M'Grath, a stout youth of 16,
was charged with assaulting his mother, a very respectable
looking middle-aged Irishwoman.
Complainant stated that her son's hand was constantly
being risen against her, and she had neither peace nor
safety. On Saturday morning by struck her, and in the
evening he repeated the blow. He locked the doors, and
she was obliged to get out of window to escape him. His
execrations were horrible, and he was constantly doing
some mischief.
Mr. Selfe —What have you there in your hand ?
Complainant—Things that he has torn up—articles of
dress.
Mr Selfe—Did he destroy them while you were wearing
them ?
Complainant—No, after I was out; he also broke four
keys up.
Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —What do you say for yourself?
Defendant--She's always calling me pickpockets and
robbers, and I don't like it.
Mr. Selte—Do you live with your mother ?
Defendant—Yes.
Mr. Selfe—Ana don't like her conduct ?
Defendant—No, I don't.
Mr Selfe—Then why don't you leave her ?
D,,tendant—l have no one to do anything for me.
Me. Selfe—You are big enough to do something for your-
self. How does he get his living.
Complainant—He does nothing, and says that I am
bound to keep him.
Mr. Selfe—What are you ?
Complainant—l am a licensed hawker, and have to work
for my living. My husband is in Ireland, and I have to
live by my own labour.
Elizabeth M'Grath, defendant's sister, was called, and
said that he often struck his mother, and had recently given
her a black eye. He refused to do anything towards get
ting his own living, and said he would be the master of
the place, and she must support him, and was bound to do
so. He also threatened her by saying he would be hung
for her.
Defendant--My sister is telling lies—she is.
Mr. Selfe—ln what respect?
Defendant—She says I said I'd be hung for her—that's
lies--I did not.
Mr Selfe—What do you say to striking your mother ?
that's the question.
Defendaut—lt's wrong, and I shan't do it any more.
Mr. Selfe—lt you know this is wrong, why do you do it
Defendant—The night before she was after massacring
me.
Mr. Selfe—Why don't you leave her ? You are bound to
work for your living. Your mother is not bound to keep
you--that is a mistake of yours. You are an ill-conducted,
lazy fellow, and I'll see whether you can't do some labour
on your own account. You are committed for 14 days to
hard labour.

MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Cornelius Collins, an Irish

labourer, was brought betore Mr. Woolrych, charged with
being concerned with others in a murderous outrage com-
mitted on the 11th of June last.

Thomas Wooton, a police-constable, No. 252 K, who has
been suffering from the violent assault committed upon him,
stated that in consequence of repeated complaints from the
inhabitants, of men and boys lying about the footpath and
obstructing the thoroughfare in the East India-road, he
was directed to interfere and remove offenders. On the 11th
of June, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he proceeded to re-
move persons lying on the footpaths. The obstructions on
that day were so extensive that passengers on foot were
compelled to walk in the roadway. Every person who was
spoken to removed except the prisoner, who said "I'll be
hanged for you before I move an inch." He remonstrated
with the prisoner, and said, "You had better go away, my
good man." If the prisoner had been his own brother he
could not have been more civil to him. 'I he prisoner would
not leave, and his countrymen called out, " Don't go away,
kick the life out of him; kick his guts out." The prisoner
then struck him a violent blow with his fist on the eye. He
seized the prisoner, who kicked and struck him several
times. A severe struggle ensued, and the prisoner was
rescued from him. He ran after the prisoner, who struck
him again and aim) kicked him. The bystanders called out,
" Kill the -." ln his def-nce be had to use his truncheon,
and struck the prisoner. Directly afterwards a heavy stone
was thrown, and it struck him on the head, billed him to
the ground, and rendered him insensible. He lost a good
deal of blood, and was carried into a public-house. Re was
unable to do any duty for a week afterwards.
Itober M‘Master, a constable in the service of the East
and West India Dock Company, confirmed the latter part
of Wooton's statement, and said he assisted the disabled
constable into a tavern, and it was some time before he re-
covered.

The apprehension of the prisoner by police-constable,
No. 493 K, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon was proved.
Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was concerned with
ethers in a cowardly outrage on the constable, and com-
mitted him for trial.

Baldassarre's Re-awakened Memory.

There are few passages of subtler literary gran-
deur in Etigiish romance, says a writer in the
Spectator (who pronounces "Romola" to be "one of
the greatest works of modern fiction ") than that
which paints the electrifying effect of a thrill
vindictive passion on Bdidassarre's paralysed
memory, in recalling once more his full command of
Greek learning, and the sense of power which thus
returned to him :--

"He leaned to take up the fragments of the dagger; then
he turned towards the book which lay open at his aide. It
was a fine large manuscript, an odd volume of Pausanias.
The moonlight was upon it, and he could see the large
letters at the head of the page :
MEMINIKA. KB. -
In old days he had known Pausanias familiarly ; yet an
hour or two ago he had been looking hopelessly at that
page, and it had 4uggested no more meaning to
him than if the letters had been black weather•
marks on a wall; but at this moment they were once more
the magic signs that conjure up a world. That moonbeam
falling on the letters had raised Messenia before him, and
its struggle against the Spat tan oppression. He snatched
up the b ,ok, bul the light was too pale for him to read fur-
ther by. No matter: he knew that chapter; he read in-
wardly. He saw the stoning of the traitor Aristocrates—
stoned by a whole people, who cast him out from their bor
diets to lie unburied, and' set up a pillar with some verses
upon it, telling how Time had brought home justice to the
unjust. The words atose within him, and stirred innu
merable vibrations of memory. He forgot that he was old ;
he could almost have shouted. The light was come again,
mother of knowledge and joy I In that exultation his limbs
recovered their strength: he started up wi h his broken
dagger and book, and went out under the broad moonlight.
It was a nipping fro,ty air, but Baldassare could feel no
chill—he only felt the glow of conscious power. He walked
about and paused on all the open spots of that high ground,
and .00ked down n the domed and towered city, sleeping
darkly under its sleeping guardians, the mountains; on the
pale gleam of the river; on the valley vanishing toward,.
the peaks of snow; and felt himself master of them all.
That sense of mental empire which belongs to us all in mo
meets of exceptional clearness, was intensified for him by
the long days and night in which memory had been little
more than the consciousness of something gone. That city
which had been a weary labyrinth, was material that he
could subdue to nis purposes now : his mind glanced
through its affairs with flashing conjecture ; he was once
more a man who knew cities, whose sense of vision was in-
structed with large experience, and who felt the keen de-
light of holding all things in the grasp of language. Names I
Images I—his mind rushes through its wealth without
pausing, like one who enters on a great inheritance."

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The passage of the Warrior, iron frigate, out of
Portsmouth harbour on the 9th instant to join the
Channel fleet, then lying at Spithead, afforded a
conclusive prof of the present efficient depth of
water in the harbour's channel of entrance.
The frigate, drawing over 27 feat of water,
crossed the " bar " in the harbour channel on
that day half an hour before high water, the
tides being the dead of the neaps, and flowing
that afternoon to 536 p.m. This is a fact of the
most important character, when considered jointly
with the question of the intended extension to Ports-
mouth dockyard, and the erection thereof new docks
for the accommodation of our irun fleets.
