IkIARK-LANB.
Tho demand for wheat in the country markets, held on
Saturday, ruled inactive, and prices had a downward ten-
dency. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were a dull inquiry,
and they changed hands at, in some instances, somewhat
easier rates. In flour, a limited business was transacted, on

former terms.
On the continent,the trade generally is quiet; neverthe-
less, prices rule tolerably firm. The exports from New
York continue very moderate.
The amounts of English grain up to cur market, last
week, wore moderately good. The imports from abroad
amounted to 19,268 quarters of wheat; 34,211 barley ;
10,560 oats ; 2,850 rye ; 5,416 beans ; 7,981 peas ; 3,453
tares; 11,015 linseed; 1,040 oilseeds; 1,350 maize; 300
sundry seeds; 1,201 sacks, and 7,450 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, there was a moderate
arrival of wheat from Essex and Kent, but the condition of
the prochice was very middling. Generally speaking, the
trade was in a sluggish state. Good and fine dry samples
barely supported last Monday's quotations ; but damp par-
cels could only be disposed of by submitting to a ...eduction
is the currency from this day se'nnight of one shilling per
quarter. A portion of the supply of dry wheat was taken
by buyers from Yorkshire; nevertheless, a clearance was
not effected at the close of business.
The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
by no means extensive. All good and fine descriptions were
held at previous rates, otherwise the quotations had a
downward tendency. The amount of business transacted
was very moderate.
Floatiag cargoes of grain were is slow request, yet no
quotable change took place in their value.
The show of home-grown barley on offer was moderately
large, and with foreign descriptions the market was exten-
sively supplied. Fine making qualities, owing to the few
samples on the stands, commanded previous rates ; but in-
ferior produce was dull, and rather cheaper.
_ _ _

The malt trade was dull and prices were is to 2s per
quarter lower than on Monday last.
There was a fair supply of oats on offer. The demand
was by no means active for any description, yet prices were
supported.
Beans, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly
at late rates.

Peas were in fair supply and slow request, at previous

currencies.

In the value of flour no change took place. The demand,
however, both for home and foreign descriptions was by no
means active.

The Murder in the Waterloo-road,

EXAMINATION AND COMMITAL OF THE

PRISONER.

SOUTHWARK POLICE COURT (THIS DAY).

This morning, in cw..sequence of its being known that
Samuel Wright, who stands charged with the murder of a
woman in the Waterloo-road, was to undergo an examina-
tion before the magistrate sitting at this court, the pave-
ment in front of the building was crowded by idle people,
the majority as is usual in such cases being of the most
questionable character. .4t-s soon as the court was open to
the public a rush was made for admission, and in a few
minutes the place was crowded almost to suffocation.
On the prisoner being placed in the dock he gave the
name Samuel Wright.
The chief clerk then informed the prisoner that he was
;n custody on a charge of wilfully murdering a female
named Maria Green, otherwise Fanny Wright. Ile
gave a slight shudder as the dreadful crime was
mentioned, but immediately assumed a cold and sullen
look, which he maintained up to the close of the =mina-

The first witness called was

Harriet Ireland—She said I lodge at No. 11, Waterloo-
road, and knew both the prisoner and deceased. They
occupied the second floor front room. I live on the fi:st
floor. I saw them both about eight o'clock on Saturday
night, and then they appeared to be on very good terms
with each other. I heard nothing more of them until
about four o'clock the next morning, when I was awoke
by hearing a scream and a knocking on the floor. The
noise continuing, I partially dressed myself, with a view
of going up stairs to see if anything was the matter, and
as I opened my door 1 met the prisoner coming down stairs
with his shirt sleeves turned up. There was blood upon
them, and also on the prisoner's nose. I asked him what
was the matter, when he replied, "you had better go up
stairs and see." I proceeded to his room and asked the
cause of the noise. The deceased, in a very faint voice,
"said, " He's cut my throat." I then looked in and saw
deceased in a kneeling position, and blood flowing from
wounds in her throat. I ran down stairs to put on my
clothes to fetch a police-constable. While 1 was so
engaged, the prisoner came up stairs again and
knocked at my door. I told him I was going for a
policeman, when he said, " All right,', and went
up stairs again. I afterwards went into the street and in-
formed the first police constable I could see, and told him
what had occurred.
Police-constable Newton, 76 L, said he was on duty
in the Waterloo-road on Sunday morning. In consequence
of what last witness told me I went to the house, 11'
Waterloo 'road. On going into the second floor front room
I found the deceased on the floor bleeding from a
frightful wound in her , throat. I said, " Whatever
is the matter," when the prisoner replied, "I have
done it, and it cant be helped." In a few moments after-
wards he said " Whatever becomes of me you'll be sure to
let my friends know." I looked round the room and found
a razor (produced). It was open. The blade and handle
were covered with blood. I took it up, and, having closed
it, put it in my pocket. The prisoner, having taken some
water out of the kettle and drank it, turned round and said
" There's a razor lying about." I told him I had it, and then,
pointing to a knife which was lying on the table, he said
" That's what she took up to me." I told him he must come
to the station-house, to which he made no objection. When
the charge was entered, he merely said "That's all right."
Mr. George Harrup, assistant to Mr. Dodd, 191,Waterloo-
read, said I was in attendance on the unfortunate deceased
at about ten minutes past 4on Sunday morning. The pri-
soner was then standing in the room near the window, and
the woman was lying in a pool of blood on the floor. With
the assistance of the constable, I laid the deceased on the bed.
She was then dead. 1 found two deep wounds on the throat,
one had entirely severed all the main arteries, and nearly
detached the head from the body. The wound was from
left to right, and extended from behind the ear in the wind-
pipe. The other wound was from right to left, but not so
extensive as that just mentioned. The razor shown to me
would inflict the injuries which had caused the death of
the woman.
This being the whole of the evidence,

The prisoner, after being cautioned in the usual way,
was asked what he had to say in answer to the charge of
wilfully murdering Maria Green, but he made no reply.

The Magistrate then fully committed the prisoner for
trial.

The depositions having been signed, the prisoner was im-
mediately conveyed to Newgate, and as the sessions of the
Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, prisoner
will ;n all probability be tried on Wednesday or Thursday
next.
The inquest will be held to-morrow at two o'clock, bat
very little, if any interest, will attach to that inquiry, as the
evidence will merely be a repetition of the abive.

POLICE INTELLIGE NCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A LAME MAN.—Two yotrag men
named Cornelius Mullins and. John Buckley, the latter
being lame and using a crutch,. were charged, before Mr.
Knox, with assaulting Mr. Jolin Wildey, landlord of the
Red Lion Tavern, Great Windmill-street, Haymarket.
Mr. Wildey, whose head was enveloped in a bandage,
said that on Saturday night, a little before 12, the prisoners
and some others came down stairs from the Concert-room,
and had some ale at the bar. Having been told by his
daughter that Mullins had broken a glass, he told hitp that
ho must pay for it, when he exclaimed, " I'll see you
first ;" and, on going round to put Mullins out, Mullins
struck him a severe blow on the brt,ast, and Buckley, who
was lame, took up his crutch and gave him a deliberate and
violent blow on the head with it, and but for the interfer-
ence of a woman who came in at the time, he belicvcd he
would have been killed. The effect of the blow was to
smother him with blood, saturating all his clothes, and to
render him insensible. On recovering himself a little he
gave the prisoner in charge and went to St. George's
Hospital in a cab, where his head was dressed—the surgeon
telling him to be very careful or erysipilas might take
place.

- Williams, 129 C, who took the prisoners into custody,
produced Buckley's crutch, on which there was blood, and
from tho appearance of several articles of clothing. produced
there was proof that he had lost a large quantity of blood.
A witness proved hearing Mullins threaten to " muzzle"
Mr. Wildey, and seeing Buckley strike Mr. Wildey on the
head a violent blow.
_ _

Mr. Knox said he should not adjudicate upon the case
till he heard that Mr. Wildey was out of danger, and asked
Mr. Wildey whether the prisoners were sober.
Mr. Wildey said they had been drinking. The surgeon,
on his calling again at the hospital yesterday, told hie:
that he could not say he was out of danger.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, refusing to take bail
at present.

THAMES.
SHOPLIFTING. AN AMATEUR POLICE CONSTABLE.
William Wadly, Richard Parker, and Elizabeth Smith,
three well-known thieves, were brought before M. Wool-
rych, charged with stealing a large roll of cloth, valued at
two guineas, the property of Mr. David Thomas, No. 3,
Crisp-street, Poplar.
On Saturday night a respectable man, named Williams,
a wheelwright, met tho prisoners in the neighbourhood of
the East India-road, Poplar. One of them was carrying a
roll of cloth. Williams immediately suspected the cloth
was stolen, and followed the prisoners, and kept them in
view until he met with a police- constable, when he gave all
three into custody, and assisted in securing them and taking
care of the property. The roll of cloth was identified
by Mr. David Thomas, from whose shop door it was
stolen a few minutes before Williams met with the prisoners.
Williams stated that he had to appear against two thieves
who stole a new witney overcoat from the shop of Mr .
Nicholas Dawson, a linen draper in Crisp-street, a few days
ago. He saw the robbery committed, and ha followed the
thieves. On reaching Limehouse Church one of them put
on the coat. On meeting a constable he collared one of the
thieves and directed the policeman to seize the other. Mr.
Partridge committed them for trial, and a bill of indict-
ment would be preferred against them to-day.
Mr. Dendy, Inspector of the H division of police, said
Williams was a very useful man, and in both cases had
exhibited much tact and intelligence.
Mr. Woolrych said the conduct of Williams was deserv-
ing of great praise. He remanded the prisoners for a week.
