MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets, held on Saturday, rather more
business was done in wheat, and good and fine qualities
changed hands at full prices. Spring corn of all descrip-
tions met a slow sale, at late rates. The flour trade was
very quiet, at the late decline in the currency.
Advises from New York state that wheat was in fair ex-
port demand, but that the flour trade was dull. On the
Continent the inquiry for wheat and spring corn is far from
active.
There was a slight increase in the receipts of English
grain at our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 32,291 quarters of wheat ; 2,807 barley ; 35,442
oats ; 6,680 linseed ; 1,354 oilseeds ; 3,846 maize ; 477
sacks, and 31,167 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane, to-day, the receipts of English
wheat were moderately large, and the condition, generally
speaking, was good; indeed, many parcels came to hand in
excellent condition. The demand, both for red and white
qualities, ruled steady, and last Monday's quotations were
well supported. This improved feeling was mainly attri-
buted to the prevailing changeable weather in Yorkshire
and Scotland, which has, to some extent, retarded the
harvest in those parts.
There was an extensive show of nearly all kinds of foreign
wheat on the stands. The amount of business transacted
was very moderate; nevertheless, importers and holders
were firm in their demands. Compared with this day
sen'night the currency exhibited no.change.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late rates.
. .

A few parcels of new barley were on offer, but their
quality not being first rate the demand for them was in a
sluggish state, at 35s to 37s per quarter. Old home-grown,
including foreign qualites, met a dull inquiry at previous
quotations.
Good and fine malt moved off steadily, at full prices ; but
inferior sorts were in slow request, at late rates.
There was an extensive show of foreign oats on
offer; but the supply of home-grown qualities was small.
The trade, generally, was dull, at the late decline in the
currency. _ _

Beans—both English and foreign—were in short supply,
but slow request, at late rates. _ _ _

Peas moved off slowly, but no change took place in their
value from Monday last.
In the flour trade there was no activity. Prices showed
no recovery from the late decline. There was a good supply
of barrels on offer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, in but middling condition. Sales pro-
grassed slowly, and, is some instances, prices had a droop •
ing tendency.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably large as to number,
but their general quality was only middling. Prime breeds
commanded a steady inquiry, at full prices. Otherwise the
beef trade vas in a sluggish state, on rather easier terms,
and a clearance was not effected.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire. Leicestershir, and
Northamptonshire comprised •
3,000 shorthorns, &c.e ; from
other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland,
11 Scots ; and from Ireland, 380 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was moderately extensive, but the
condition of most breeds was by no means first rate. Downs
and half-breds were in fair r equest, at last week's currency,
the top figure being 5s 2d per 81b, but other descriptions of
sheep were very inactive, at slightly depressed rates.
The demand for lambs was heavy, at from 5s to 68 per
81bs. These quotations show a decline, compared with
this day se'nnight, of from 4d to 8d per 81bs.
Calves were in moderato supply and sluggish request, at
previous currencies,
The pork trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

A Row IN THE MARKET.—John O'Connor, Bridget
O'Connor, his wife, and Edward Macnamara, her father,
were charged with creating a disturbance in Covent-gar-
den Market, and assaulting the police.
It appeared that about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon
the prisoners, with some others, were in Covent-garden
Market drunk and annoying the passengers and tradesmen
by creating a disturbance there. The female prisoner went
up to the stall of Mrs. Deacon, a saleswoman, to buy some
onions, but, as she was very drunk, Mrs. Deacon refused
to serve her. The prisoner then spoke to one of the men,
who went up to Mrs. Deacon and tried to strike her,
but she got away from him, and ran into one of
the shops in the market, where she remained till a
policeman came up. The female prisoner was then making
a great disturbance and trying to get at Mrs. Deacon. The
constable took her into custody ; and; as he was removing
her, her husband sprang upon him from behind, seized him
by the throat, and flung him on the ground with such vio-
lence that he has since been ill and unable to do duty.
Macnamara also struck the officer, and so did the other three
men. By this time a crowd of nearly 1,000 persons had
assembled, and the disturbance became terrific, the prisoners
and their friends urging the mob to ill-treat the police.
Ultimately, by the united exertions of half a dozen con-
stables, the prisoners were removed to the station-house.
The other three got away.

These facts were proved by a number of witnesses prin-
cipally tradesmen in the neighbourhood.
The prisoners insisted that they were quite sober and had
had nothing whatever to drink.
Mr. Henry fined John O'Connor £5 or two months,
Bridget O'Connor V or 14 days, and Macnamara .£1 or
three weeks.

ATTEMPTED FELONY,—Edward Welsh was placed at
:he bar charged with attempting to steal a watch.
Sergeant Thompson, of the detective force, eaid he was in

Holborn on Saturday night, when he saw the prisoner go
up to a gentleman, and, pushing against him violently, he
felt in his pocket with his right hand. He did not succeed
in obtaining anything, but proceeded towards Queen-street,
where he again went through the same movement before
another gentleman, and succeeded in getting the watch out
of his waistcoat pocket, but the gentleman seized him with
the property in his hand and took it from him. He then
seized prisoner, but the gentleman refused to prosecute as
he was going out of town. Prisoner resisted capture very

Police• uunotable 131 ir cuiroboratea the statement of the
first witness.

Ackrill, 48 F, said he knew the prisoner to be the asso-
ciate of thieves, and also that he had been in prison for
three months for a felony. He had been at work for about
a month until the last week, when ho absented himself
from his employment. He had told him (witness) that
"he'd turned up thieving," but he still continued to asso-
ciate with the most expert and well-known thieves in the
neighbourhood.
Committed for trial,
