THAMES,

A DOCK Rumax.—William Murphy, a well-known
blackguard and ruffian, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with assaulting Mr. Henry Redly, a transporting
pilot, on board the ship Candidate, in the Shadwell basin
of the London Dock,

The complainant stated that yesterday evening, between
4 and 5 o'clock, the prisoner came on board the Candidate
with a passenger, of whom he demanded money. The pas-
senger said he had not employed the prisoner, but he had
notwithstanding given him 6d., and he would give him no
more. The prisoner made a great disturbance, and said he
would not go without more money. He requssted the
prisoner to leave the ship, which he refused to
do, and threatened him. The prisoner was re-
peatedly desired to leave the vessel, and would
not, and said to witness, "You b--, I will let you have
it when you come on shore," and at the same time struck
him a violent blow with his fist. He closed with the pri-
soner, who endeavoured to force him into the dock basin,
and would have succeeded if assistance had not been at
hand. The prisoner had threatened hire before, and he was
one of the•greatest ruffians in the port of London.
The prisoner, in defence, said a passenger came down to
the London Dook in a cab, and said he wanted the ship
Candidate. He guided him to the vessel, and only re-
ceived 6d.

Mr. Partridge—How long were you engaged with the
passenger ?

The prisoner—About half an hour.
Mr. Partridge—You were very well paid.
Win. Hine, 184 H, said the prisoner was convicted in
May last for committing a violent assault on police-constable
Carr, 40 H, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment
and hard labour. The prisoner had been for a long time
hanging about the London and St. Katherine' Docks,
forcing his services on passengers, seamen, and sailor boys.
If he found any one with a parcel he took it from them,
and then demanded extravagant remuneration for his ser-
vices.

Mr. Partridge said the prisoner ought not to be permitted
to hang about the docks, as he was a dangerous character.
He fined the prisoner 405., Which was paid.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of beasts on sale in our market to-day was
only moderate, and the quality of the stock was very
middling. All breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's cur-
rency. The top figure was ss.
per Blbs. We were rather
scantily supplied with sheep; nevertheless, the mutton
trade was inactive, at late rates. The best Downs sold
at ss. Bd. per 81bs. The sheep came to hand in good con-
dition. Although the supply of calves was limited, the
veal trade was heavy; and in some instances the currency
had a drooping tendency. Calf and mulch cows were very
dull, at last week's prices.
