The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day rulrd 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.

were very small The impo is from abroad amounted to
3,7E6 quarters of what, 5,222 barley. 27,576 oats, 2,839
beans, 1,503 peas, 292 lin•ecd, 2,470 oilseeds, 20 sundry
seeds, and 50 sacks 'ot' flour.
A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's market. The demand, however, both
for red and whine qualities ruled inactive, yet no charge
took place in prices compared wi' h Monday last.
_ _

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

Floating ca,goes of grain were in but moderate request
yet prices were fairly supported.
The supply of English barley was very small; but the
show of foreign qualities was moderate. Both grinding and
distillirg qualifies changed hands slowly, at previouA ra es.
Mait was in fair average request, and the qualities ruled

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 bat 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 transactiox s in lair were on a very moderate scale,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

OPEN. AIR PREACHING.—The Rev. Richard Hibbs, who
appeared before Mr. Corrie on former occasions for crewing
a disturbance by c ilecting a crowd in friaat of the Duke of
York's C lumn by preaching, and at whose request the
charge was adjourned, again attended this morning to show
that ne was acting within the law, and that the police had
no awh,Tity to bike him into custody.
Inspector Wilson said—ln consequence of the complaiuts
of Sir M, Ridley and several members of the clubs, Sir R.
Mayne had directed the police to prevent preaching w-ar to
the Duke of York'. Column, and because Hibbs refused to
esist he was taken into custody.
Mr. Hibbs—l should like to know if there has been any
particular 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•
habitants.

Mr Con ie—l don't see under what section in the police

act you are pro ceding.
Mr. Hibbs—Neither do I see any section which declares
pre telling a nuisance. How do you make it a nuisance

and annoyance?
Inspector Wilson—By the crowd collecting.
Mr. Hibbs—Did you find the crowd and myself dis-
orderly ?
Inspector Wilson—No. There was no disorder, but you
were proceeding at the top of your voice, and have been
told that the members of the Athenaeum Club have been
c•mpelld during the hot weather to close their windows in
consequence of the annoyance.
Mr. Cortie—That is the club to which the learned men
belong.
Mr. Hibbs—Can you say the distance from the
Atherssum at which I was preaching ?
Inspector Wilson—No, not exacAy, but I should say
about 60 feet.
Mr. Hibbs—Well, would it be possible to select a more
desirable site for the purpose of preach ng
Inspeator Wilson Supposing preaching was allowed
there I should say you cJuld not take up a better spot.
It was nearly in the centre.

Mr. Hibbs--Now, rcierring 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
large crowd, and you were preaching. As you refused to
go away, 1 took you into custody.

Mr. Hibbs— And that led to a breach of the peace occa-
sioned b) the constable.

Mr. Currie—You do not act in this matter under any
particular section of the act, but from the general order you
receive, to disperse all crowds

Inspector—Yes, your worship, that is so.

Mr. Corrie—The better course for you to adopt, Mr,
Hibbs, as you contend you have doneno wrong, is to show
me the right you have to be there.
Mr. Hibb—There was no obstruction to begin with.
Mr. Currie—There were, according to y9ur own state-
ment, ab Jut 200 persons listening to you.
Mr. Hibbs—There was enough room for two carriages to
pass together between the crowd and the kerbstone. There
was no obstruction, and I do complain of the conduct of the
police.

The Rev. G. Townshend, incumbent of St. Michael's
Burleigh-street, said he knew Mr. Hibbs, and he con.:
sidered hie preaching was quite of a consistent nature. He
had seen Mr. Gladstone listening to Mr. Hibbs preaching,
Mr. Brook, of Newgate-street, said Mr. Hibbs was most
scrupulous in his observance of the law. In addition to
Mr. Gladstone, he had notictd the Baron and
Baroness Bernstorff, the Duke of Leinster, and
others of the nobility listening to his preaching.
With respect to the members of the Athenaeum
Club, he did not wonder at their shutting down their win-
dows ; he was only surprised they did not draw down the
blinds. (Laughter.) They sat all Sunday reading news-
papers, and a more irreligi, us body of people he did not know.
(Laughtr.) He considered that the proceedings of Mr.
Hibbs had had a beneficial effect rather than otherwise, for
he had fr. gut nt ly seen many highly influential personages
listening to him.

Mr. Mathew H. Field, of 24, King's-road, Notting-hill,
spoke of the orderly manner of the crowd.
Inspector Wilson—There had been no less than seven
persons p'reaching in the epace betore the column that par-
ticular Sunday.
. cannot see, as beyond all d, übt the Bishop
of London. and Lord Wrottesley Russell have preached in
the open air in Covent-garden market, that I can be c ,n-
-sidered to have coonniited any offence against the law.
After a lung discussion with the rev. gentleman,
Mr. Conic, said he 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 di,n't know but what I've a cause of action
for illegal arrest against the constable.
Mr. Corrie—l've nothing to do with that.
The rev. gentleman and his friends then left the court.

M ARL BOROUGH • STREET.
KICKING A WIFE DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS—COM-
MITTAL FOR TRlAL.—Thomas Behan, a tall powerful-built
man, residing at 25, Whitcombe-street, St. Martin's, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting his
wife, Anne, by kicking her down a flight of stairs.
The complainant, a very stout female, who seemed to
suffer a great deal, and gave her evidence sitting, said—On
Saturday morning my husband came home about 4 o'clock,
having been drinking. li a was let in by my daughter, 11
years of age, and then began calling her all manner of bad
nem( a, and pulled me by my hair. My child -aid, "Father,
or my sake don't kill my mather, and when the shops are
open I will get you something to eat." He had been look.
ing in the room for something to eat, but he has given me
no money for my support, neither has he paid the rent for
12 years. He then went to bed, having been drinking. I
got up early and went about my work, being a laundress
On cording back from Brompton I heard that he had got up
and gone oat, and ho returned about 7 in the evening nearly
drunk, bringing some victuals with him. My child came to
speak to roe, and he caved out to her " why do you speak
to that —." He afterwards Pat down, and as he
had a knife and rork in his hand, and I was afraid
he would butt the child, I sent her downstairs I then
went on to the third step of the stairs, intending to descend
thew, when my husband followed me, and put his toot on
the skirt of my dress, in,d on my turning round he lifted up
riffs foot and deliberately kicked me down the stairs-11 in
number—and I fell to the bottom, and he never attempted
to pick me up. I could not speak a word and could not
move. Two doctors were sent for, and I was afterwards
tasen to the Charing-Cross Hospital in a cab. The doctor
said I had no bones broken, but I believe something in my
head is broken—it was very bad.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he kick you on purpose?

Complainant—Oh yes. He gnashed his teeth, and said
when he kieted me "Take that." All my injuries are on

my head.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls it the Erg time you have had to com-
plain of him.

Compitainant—Oh no.
Prisoner—Did I kick you off the stairs.
Complainant—Yee, and you said you would tear my liver

1 hat 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.

WE S'l MINSTER.
A MODEL" Sox.—Joseph I‘l‘Grath, a stout youth of 16
was charged with assaulting his mother, a very respectabl®
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 ha 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 Sede—What have you there in your hand ?
Complati.ant—Things that he has turn 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 d;) you say for yourself?
Defendant—She's always calling me pickpockets and
robbers, and I don't like it.
Mr. Selle—Do you live with your mother ?
Defendant—Yes.
Mr. Selfe—And don't like her conduct ?
Defendant—No, I don't.
Mr. Sole—Then why don't you leave her ?
Ds-fendant—l have no one to do anything for me.
Mr. 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
be place, and she must supi.ort him, and was bound to do
so. He also threatened her by saying he would be hung
tf.r her.

Defendant—My sis'er is telling lies—she is.
Mr. Selfe—lu whit respect?
Defendant— She says I said I'd be hung for her—that's
lies—l did not.
Mr. Selfe—What do you say to striking your mother ?
that's the question.
Defendant—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 mo.her 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.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Ccrneljus Collins, an Irish

labourer, was brought before 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 " Pll 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. 'the 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. Ha ran after the prisoner, who struck
him again and al•o kicked him. The bystanders called out,
" Kill the -." I n his def•nce he had to use his truncheon,
and struck the prisoner, Directly afterwards a heavy stone
was thrown, and it struck him on the head, &lied him to
the ground, and rendered him insensible. He lost a good
deal of blood, and was carried into a public-house. lie was
unable to do any duty for a week afterwards.

Kober M‘Master, a unstable in the service of the East
and West India Dock Company, confirmed the latter part
of Wooton's ptatement, 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
others in a cowardly outrage on the constable, and com-
mitted him for trial.
