MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for
wheat, and prices advanced ls. per quarter. Barley, oats,
beans, and peas, supported previous rates, with a moderate
demand. In flour, sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet
the quotations ruled firm.

Adyices from New York state that Ithe export demand
for wheat and flour was moderately active, and that con-
siderable quantities of produce were on passage to London
and Liverpool. The Continental markets are generally
flat.

Small supplies of English grain were received up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad were 15,629
quarters of wheat, 1,628 barley, 17,012 oats, 173 beans, 45
peas, 4,42 D maize, 116 sacks and 14,140 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this mcrnirg's market the receipts of home-
grown wheat were on a very moderate scale. Nothwith-
standing the increased firmnese in the ti ade in the country
markets held at the close of last week, the demand both for
red and white samples was in a sluggish state. Compared
with Monday last no quotable change took place in the
currency, factors being indisposed to press sates , but many
(Afars were made at a reduction of is per quarter from this
day se'nnight. The heaviness was caused by the favour-
able change in the weather for harvest operations.
The market was well supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the aemand ruled in-
active, and the amount of business transacted was on a very
moderate scale, at previous quotations.
In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was done on
former terms.

There was a parcel of new barley on the Kentish stands,
in but middling condition. With old and foreign produce
the market was scantily supplied, yet the inquiry was far
from active, at previous rates.
Malt changed hands slowly. The currency, however,
was unchanged from Monday last.

The supply of oats on offer was moderately good. No
change took place in the value of any description, but the
demand was decidedly inactive.

Beans were in limited supply but slow request at late

rates.

Peas were steady in price. All descriptions, however
met a slow sale, notwithstanding that the supply on offer
was very moderate. There was a parcel of new hog peas

on sale.

The supply of American flour on the stands was tolerably
large, and the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. Town
and country made qualities met a slow sale, on former
erms.

IN RE LEWIS,

This bankrupt was a wine merchant it the City, and this
was an application for order of discharge,
The bankrupt had been indicted for fraudulently obtain-
ing goods,fraudulently disposing of goods, and generally for
fraudulent trade, bat was acquitted on each indictment.
The assignees taking into consideration the circumstances
did not feel it their duty to oppose the application.
Mr. Lawrence, for one of the creditors, who was also one
of the prosecutors, suggested that the case should stand over
until the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.
His Honour, however, considered that after what the
bankrupt had undergone, and he had passed cn his accounts
before he was indicted, he was now entitled to his discharge.
Order made accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGENCB—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH ILLNESS.—A young
woman named Ann Cook was charged before Mr. T yrwhitt
with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine, Hyde-
park.
From the evidence of Gorge Lane, a private of the 60th
Rifles, it appeared that while passing through Hyde-park
the previous evening, he was informed that a young woman
had thrown herself into the Serpentine. He immediately
jumped into the water and rescued her, she being at the
time out of her depth.

The young woman said she was very sorry for what she
had done.

Mr. Trywhitt having told the young woman that she
was much indebted to the soldier, tsked whether any one
connected with her was present ?
The mother of the accused stepped forward, and said that
her daughter had been suffering from a diseased chest and
poisoned finser, and she had not locen able to give satisfac-
tion to her employers, and this had preyed on her mind.
She would take her daughter home and take care of her.
Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired whether the young woman had
ever attempted anything of the sort before, and the mother
said she had not.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after addressing sane kind remarks to the
young woman, gave her up to her Blether,

THAMES,

SINGULAR FRAUDS ON SROPXETERS.—EIIen Callahan
22, Ann Dewly, 30, and Ellen ieridan, alias Sullivan,
with other aliases, 23, who all re4sed to give their ad-
dresses, were brought before Mr, partridge, charged with
committing frauds on shopkeepers.
The prisoners are all natives of Ireland, and kept up a
continual clamour. They have bdn going about the dis-
trict with a fourth Irishwoman occFsionally, for some time,
and the modus operandi of this fenAlo gang of swindlers in
a small scale was described by Mr. George Pound, a beer-
seller, at the corner of Patterson-
dr.ret and Charles-street,
Stepney. He said the prisoner Callahan came into my
shop by herself. She asked for a bottle of lemonade,
and tendered a five-shilling piles in payment. At
the same time he asked me to give her sixpences in
change. I put down 9 sixpences gad 3 pent© on the coun-
ter, deducting from the dollar the Price of the lemonade.
The prisoner asked me the price of the bottle of lemonade,
and on my answering that it waB3d., she said, " I won't
have it," and put down the change I had given her on the
counter, but instead of 4s. 9d. Mar only returned 3s. 9d.,
and walked out of the shop. The other prisoners Dewry
and Sheridan, and another womal joined her. I knew I
had been swindled of a shilling, acd followed them until I
met a policeman, and gave them foto custody. One of the
Irishwomen made her escape. 011ahan here exclaimed,
" I am guilty of stealing the shilling, I picked it up oft
the counter, because he left it there.'' _ _ _

... -
Mr. Pound—She cnly gave— me3B. 98. when I returned
her the ss. piece.

Francis Toy, greengrocer, of 33, Clarke-street, Stepney,
said the three prisoners and another woman came into his
shop, Davey said, " Will you serve me with 31b. of pota-
toes F" He weighed them, and the first directed him to
put the potatoes into Callahan's apron, and then said,
"Stop a minute, let them stop on the scale," and gave him
a crown piece. She asked him for all sixpences in change.
He had not got sufficient sixpences, and gave her four six-
pences and 3s. in change. He notated the whole of it into
her hand, and said, "Now, I have got to take lid. for the
potatoes." Davey then said she Notated a half-crown piece
for some of the silver, and put (low) 46. on the counter, and
he told her there was only 45., and she asserted that was
all he had given her. He ordered her to put the shilling
she had in her hand on the counter, and she did so, and at
the same time took up a sixpence. Ile seized hold of her
left hand, recovered the whole of his change, and said,
You vagabond, you want to rob me.'' He turned all the
women out of the shop, and while doing so one of them stole
a large cucumber.

Sarah Murdle, sister of Mr. Thomas Murdle, baker, 32,
Clark-street, Stepney, said Callahan came into my
brother's shop and asked for a loaf, She gave a five shil-
ling piece, and I gave her 4s. 6d: in silver and 2!d. in
coppers. The prisoner said she could get a half quartern
loaf any where for 3d., and demanded her five shilling
piece again. I gave it to her, and she only returned to me
3s. 6d. in silver and the half-pence. Mr. Murdle came into
the shop and demanded the other shilling, which she had
in her hand. It was returned, and she then wanted the
loaf again. I refused to let her have it, and she left the
shop.

Henry Lewis, No. 203 K, said he took the prisoners into
custody. They had all been in custody before, and had
given much trouble to shop-keepers. The tour Irish
women, one of whom escaped from him, had been plunder-
ing and swindling tradesmen.

Mr. Partridge—l shall convict all the prisoners for trial
Take the depositions, Mr. Bowdler.

ROASTED ALITE.—A melancholy case of empiri-
cism was last week brought before one of the cor-
rectional tribunals of the west of France. The accused is an
herb doctor, who was then charged with having a short time
previously literally baked a woman alive in order to cure an
attack of rheumatism from which she llad long suffered. The
cure for this disorder, practised by the Sieur Lenoble " with
success upon his own father," was to put his patients, lying
in a bed of reeds freshly plucked from a river, in a baker's
oven till their couch should be reduced to power with the
heat. The husband of the woman whom Lenoble last
cooked deposed to her having, when shut up an hour in the
oven, complained that her side was being burned. The
quack ascended into the chambre ardente and applied some
leaves to the burn. He had hardly descended when the
patient complained. of another burn, The same remedy
was no sooner applied to it than the woman Cane
said that her physician "must remain with her in the stove
till the rheumatism would be baked out of her." She then
cried that she felt herself ill from head to foot, on which
Lenoble assured her that it was nothing, for that if sae
wanted to be cured she must endure all the suffering it was
possible to inflict on her. After a long interval of silence,
which struck the quack as being very strange, "seeing that
the woman chatted to him during the application of the
cure," he resolved to draw her out of the oven. She was
then senseless. Vinegar and reed roots were then applied,
but without effect; and next morning the unhappy woman
died without having in the meantime shown any sign of
consciousness. Lenoble was condemned only to pay a fine
of 50f. and to six months' imprisonment.

SPORTING NOTES.

The races at Southampton, Winchester, and Notting
ham last week had no effect on the betting for future events,
with the exception of the increased support awarded to
Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes. The Nottingham Meet-
ing introduced us to nothing better than the Clown and
Garotter among the two year olds, but both these horses
showed a great improvement in looks, and the form of Lord
Hastings's youngster must be considered first-class, for he
got second in the Nottingham Nursery Plate with Bst 91b,
giving the winner (Inverness) 291 b, and the third (La Belle
Feronniere) 201 b, and as the latter managed at Stamford to
get close to Cceur de Lion at 61b, Garotter will be worth
watching for his future engagements, though the fact of his
being of the blood of West Australian will always stop him
over a long distance. Lord Hastings, who came of age on
Thursday last, was in luck a; the meeting, for he managed to
win a couple of races with Garotter,and the Brigade Handicap
with Tippler, and the latter has proved to be a useful horse
to his lordship since he got him at Ascot. Lord Stamford's
luck, on the contrary, was dead out, for he was only credited
with one race, and that was by the aid of Revolver, who
seems to like the course, as he was also successful for the
Handicap in the Spring. Dulcibella's true form was at last
exposed, and like the mrjority of " bottled-up" horses, she
failed to fulfil the expectations formed respecting her, and
the race she tried for ended in the two three-year olds who
started getting first and second, the winning honour being
achieved by Erin-go-Bragh, who turned out to be the best
Cliff's stable could oroduoe, and their non-estimation of his
chance is proved by the long price offered against him at the
start, though he luckily proved to be one of a lot against
whom his owner accepted " four monkeys" the previous
week, Had Blithfield, my selected, been better ridden round
the last tarn he would have landed the prize to a certainty,
for he lost fully half-a-dozen lengths there, and to add to
his misfortune, one of his plates came off just within the
distance. and he was nearly thrown down, so that it is some-
thing wonderful that he should get within half a length of
the winner after all. At Winchester Molly Carew made
her fifth appearance this year, and though she looked as if
she had done no work for a month, she managed to beat
Hengist, who had been tried at home to give Becky Sharpe
10Ib, so that her form must still be looked upon
the best as that has been exhibited yet. She un-
fortunately met with an accident on returning from the
course, by which the fleshy part about half-way between
her shoulder and stifle was cut through to the bone, and
this will prevent her showing again in public for the re-
mainder of this year at least. Among the lot she beat last
Tuesday was Eastminster, a son of Newminster out of Cal-
cutta, who will do better whenever he runs thoroughly
prepared. The Goodwood meeting commences to-morrow
with one of the best programmes that has ever been issued.
The list extends to no fewer than thirty-three items, spread
over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There
are twenty-six horses nominated for the Lavant Stakes, the
best amongst them being Durham and Crytheria. Lord
Zetland will have no difficulty with the Gratwicke Stakes
with his high-bred Zapateado, as also the Four Year Old
race with Piccador. There are 73 horses entered for the
Stewards Cup ; but to analyse the merits of those likely to
take part in the affray would be a sheer waste of time. I
will only select a few, one of which may furnish the winner
—viz., Muezzin, Keane, Bionde la, Cheerful, and Dolphin.
The list for Wednesday also extends to eight races, includ-
ing the Goodwood Stakes, the Findon Stakes, the Draw-
ing-room Stakes, and the Goodwood Derby, to all of which
great interest attaches.
The starters for the Goodwood Stakes will be selected
from the following :
Yrs. st. lb.
Maid of Masham filly .. 4 811 Aldcroft.
Bellman .. 5 8 6 Challoner.
Loiterer
Knutsford
Grimston
Balham

Magnum Bonum 4
Bandage 4
Evenhand
Barchettina
Anfield
Blondin
Zapateado
Blackdown 3
Brian Boru .... 3

Canzonette.,.

7 1 Daley.
6 12 Drewe.
6 9 Murfet.
6 8 Loates.
6 6 T. French.
6 6 Cannon.
6 6 Whiteley.
6 2 Mordan.
6 0 Crouch.
5 13 Carroll.
5 11 S. Adams.

Lord Glasgow's filly has far too much weight. Bellman,
if in anything like the same form when he beat Caller Ou
last year in Ireland, ought to have a great chance, but that
he can give Zetland 91b. Ido not believe. If the latter was
in here at 7st 1 llb it would be odds on him, as he is nearly
the equal of Buckstone, for in the Epsom Cup he beat the
latter at only a difference of 41b. Loiterer is doing good
steady work, but Ido not think him class enough. Knuts-
ford has been knocked about in the betting ; but if he comes
to the post in anything like his last year's form, I would
look no farther for the winner. Grimston, Balham,
Magnum Bonnm, and Bandage may help to swell
the field, but I do not think any of them will
receive honourable mention from the judge. Anfield
belongs to a dangerous party, and if he reaches the
post with winning orders, he will only have to fear Knuts.
ford to effect his overthrow. Blondin is the best of Mr.
Parr's pair, but I expect he will come to grief before he
finishes his journey. Zapateado belongs to one of the most
honourable noblemen on the turf. He has been highly
tried with Piccador, and as his lordship's horses always
run with winning orders, those who invest on him will have
an honest run for their money. The only other with an
outside chance is Blackdown, who is in Drewitt's stable,
and is doing good work. I expect, when the numbers go
up, that the judge will place
ZAPATEADO .. .. 1
ANFIELD 2
KNUTSFORD 3

The Goodwood Cup will rest between Ls Toc4uEs and
ISOLINE, giving the preference to the former.

A TREAT FOR POOR CHILDREN.--The Superin-
tendent of the George-yard Ragged School, High-street,
whitechapel, writes to us, asking to be allowed to appeal to
the charitable, on behalf of the voluntary teachers of the
school, for funds to enable them to take 500 poor children
attending the schools for a day's trip into the country, and
thus give them what they cannot find in the alleys and
courts where they live—a day's enjoyment in the fine fresh
air.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The Channel fleet arrived off Sunderland on Thurs-
day morning. The news of the arrival of the fleet
spread quickly throughout the town, and the piers
and docks were thronged with persons anxious to
'view the squadron. Several steamboats freighted
with passengers left the harbour for the fleet. Steam-
boats from the Tyne and Blyth also paid the squa-
dron a visit soon after it had taken up its position.
In the course of the afternoon the Mayor of Sunder-
land, accompanied by several members of the cor-
poration and commissioners of the docks, proceeded
in a steamboat to pay their respects to Rear-Admi-
ral Ilic*ee. On Friday Rear-Admiral Dacres, with
a staff of the superior officers, made a public lard
ing. There was a public bad given in the evening.
There Ncere present 200 officers from the fleet and
300 ladies and gentlemen from the town and neigh-
bourhood-500 in all. On Saturday a dinner was
given to Rear-Admiral Dacres and 100 officers of
the fleet. The fleet is expected to leave Sunderland
in the beginning of this week. It will th€n visit
the Frith. of Forth.
