MARKETS—This Day, '

MARK-LANE.

The country markets, held on Saturday, were quiet for
wheat. Previous quotations, however—owing to the
limited supplies brought forward—were supported. For
spring corn, there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm.
Flour changed hands to -a moderate extent at late rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, at about sta-
tionary prices. Spring corn, however, is in steady request
at full currencies. At New York the trade for wheat and
flour continues dull.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of wheat,
both from Essex and Kent, were small ; but the condition
of the produce was good. Factors, in consequence of the
shortness of the supply, as well as the prevailing unseason-
able weather, were very firm in their demands, and. held
both red and white parcels at an advance in prices as com-
pared with Monday last of is. per quarter. A consider-
able proportion of the recent foreign arrivals having gone
direct to the millers, buyers operated somewhat cautiously,
yet the above improvement in the quotations was, in most
instances, obtained. A portion of the supply, for which
last Monday's prices were refused, was left unsold.
A moderate, but far from extensive supply of foreign
wheat was in the stands. The trade for all qualities was
very firm. American and old Baltic wheats moved off
steadily, and prices had taken an upward tendency. Other
descriptions were in moderate request at full currencies.
Floating cargoes -of grain were in fair demand, and
prices ruled firm.
The supply of barley on sale was small. The demand
was by no means active ; noverthless, both grinding and
distilling qualities changed hands at fully late rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

=-s--

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULTING AND ATTEMPT-
ING TO ROB A LICENSED VICTUALLER AND PUGILIST.—
George Smith, a respectable looking man, described as a
smith, was charged before Mr. Mansficd with assaulting
James Dillon, licensed victualler and pugilist, of the White
Horse, Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, and attempting
to steal his watch and chain.

night, I was passing
The prosecutor said—Shortly after 12 o'clock on Satur-
dayway home, when the prisoner, whom I had seen sitting
along Leicester-square on my
against a lamp post, with two companions near him, pushed
against me. I asked him whether there was not room for
two persons, and what his game was. He said something I
did not understand, and then struck me. A woman then ran
up to the-man and said " Cheese it, cheese it—(leave off)
—he's a fighting man. A mistake." Tho prisoner then
knocked me down, and his friend laid Hold of my chain and
watch. I shouted out " Police," and <the prisoner, who
was kneeling on me, said "You --, if you call " Police
I'll choke you." I got up and ran away, and the prisoner
ran after me, and again knocked me down, and struck me
with his fists. I then got up and ran after him, and gave
him in charge. I had a light suit of clothes on at the
time, and I've no doubt they took me for a foreigner. I
was kicked in the loins, and was in bed all day yesterday.
Police-constable 75 C—About half-past 1 on Sunday
morning, hearing cries of " Murder," in Cranbourn-street,
I went up and saw Dillon running, and a mob following
him. I saw the prisoner knock Dillon down and fall' on
him and strike him. I pulled the prisoner off and took
him to the station.

In reply to Mr. Mansfield the constable said the prose-
cutor and the prisoner were both sober.

John Morris, hackney carriage attendant—l was on
duty in Leicester-square, and saw Dillon knock a man
down into the road, the man being intoxicated at the time.
I told Dillon ho ought to be ashamed of himself, and Dillon
then ran away, and then prisoner ran after him with a
number of others, some of whom said, "Oh, he's a fighting
man." The prisoner and Dillon then fought for about ten
minutes, and on Dillon: falling on his back he said the
prisoner wanted to rob him, but that was not the case.
The constable then came up, and Dillon having got the
worst of it, gave the prisoner in charge for attempting to
rob him. The prisoner was drunk, till sobered by a fall
Dillon gave him.
-The prisoner—l had had a glass or two of beer and
was leaning against a lamp-post, and Dillon coming along
with a girl, knocked a man down. I asked why he did it,
and through this a fight between them took place, and we
both'fell occasionally atop of each other. The prosecutor
afterwards gave me in charge for attempting to rob him. I
am a working man, a smith, employed at 5, Jermyn-street,
and do not wish to rob any one. What I have said is the
truth. It all arose through Dillon knocking the man down
without any reason.

A person stepped forward and gave the prisoner 15 years
good character.

Mr. Mansfield—Has the prisoner ever been here before ?

Barns (the gaoler)—No, sir.
Mr. Mansfield—ls Dillon a pugilist, and has he been
here before ?

Barns—He is a pugilist, and has been committed from
this court for three months for assaulting a female.
Mr. Mansfield—The prisoner is discharged.
The decision seemed to give satisfaction to most persons
in attendance.

SPORTING NOTES.

The meeting at Ascot was decidedly the most fashionably
attended I ever remember to have seen. The most im-
portant race on the first day was the meeting of Ely and
Baragah in the Eleventh Triennial. Although odds Irere
betted on the former, the latter made the pace so strong
that Custance only managed to land his old favourite thi.l
winner by a neck, after one of the most exciting races
ever witnessed. It was over Ascot this day twelvemonths
that Ely lowered Fille de l'Air's colours in the Prince of
Wales's Stakes, on the strength of which performance,
coupled with Blair Athol's knocking about in his unsuc-
cessful Paris trip, odds were betted on him against
the Derby winner for the three-year-old boat of to-
day's Triennial, which resulted in the easy vic-
tory of the son of Stockwell and Blink Bonny.
Union Jack, who was an immense "pet" for the Hunt Cup,
was defeated easily by Gratitude, whose owner netted
£lO,OOO by the victory. Mr. Merry also is a winner of
about £5,000. The entry for the Gold Vase was much
smaller than usual for her Majesty's gift, and though the
field mustered a quartette only, consisting of Tartar, Breeze,
Stanton, and Eltham, all shortcomings were made up for
by one of the finest contests ever witnessed, which resulted
in a dead heat between Breeze and the Derby outsider,
Baron Rothschild thus "almost" repeating his Leopold
surprise for the Vase in 1852. For the deciding heat,
which was run after the last race on the card, odds were
betted on Eltham, who ran the longest, and won almost as
exciting a race as the previous one by three-quarters of a
length. Though defeating one of the most popular patrons
of the turf, Mr. Robinson was warmly congratulated on
carrying one of the three valuable pieces of plate run for
at the Royal meeting, which from being the gift of her
Majesty, whatever its intrinsic value, is always cherished
with feelings of loyalty and pride by all true sportsmen.
Lord Stamford's Chibisa had some diflicnlty in defeating
the highly tried Young Monarque in the New Stakes.
Baron Rothschild did not pull out Janitor or he would
have defeated the pair easily, even with his 51b penalty.
Only six started for the Gold Cup, viz., Ely, General Peel,
Victorious, Fille de l'Air, Zephyr, and Oppressor; Young
Rapid and Baragah being reserved for the Alexandra Plate,
Breadalbane for the Gratwicke and other valuable engage-
ments, and Union Jack for a "shorter cut." It was only
this morning that Count Lagrange decided by telegraph
(owing to legislative duties preventing his personal attend-
ance at Ascot,) to start Fille de l'Air for the Cup in prefer-
ence to the Alexandra Plate, and though it was known that
the mare had been stopped in her work during the Bath
week, she became a rattling favourite when the stable
money went on, and left off " heads and tails" with
General Peel, about whom as little as 5 to 4 was taken
early in the morning, when 4 to 1 was offered
" bar one," and 6 to 1 " bar two," nothing else but.
Ely being backed for money besides the two "cracks.''
The mare looked much lighter than horses stopped in their
work generally do, whilst Ely was full of bloom and
muscle, and seemed none the worse for his Tuesday's
gallop. The others were comparatively disregarded, nor
did they take any prominent part in the race, with the ex-
ception of Oppressor, who was sent to make running for
Fille de l'Air, and to see if he can stay, which he managed
to do—in front, too—until reaching the last turn, up to
which point the pace was so very moderate that the three
" cracks " were all pulling. Ely then took up the running
and they set ageing in earnest, but General Peel " never
came anigh " until Zephyr gave way at the distance, when
he took her place on the outside of Fille de l'Air, who was
at Ely's quarters ; nor could she improve upon that posi-
tion, and suddenly giving way when it came to racing, left
the other two to fight it out, which they did in earnest,
Fordham waiting until within fifty yards of the chair when
he made his effort, and tho General (after " wavering'
for a stride or two, it struck us) catching Mr. Cartwright's
horse on the post, made the fourth dead heat for this prize,
two of which have occurred within three years—to wit,
between Buckstone and Tim Whiffler in 1863 ; the pre-
vious ones having been between Brighton and Epsom—
remarkable coincidence—in 1808, and the more memorable
ono between Camarine and Rowton in 1832. Many thought
Fordham waited a little too long, but ho never rode a
better race in his life. Ely appeared to be the least dis-
tressed of the two, and recovered much sooner than his
more gigantic opponent, who fairly sobbed for some
minutes after his saddle was removed. They " ran it off"
immediately after the last race, and Ely showed the General
no quarter. The latter, though he appeared to pull over
the leader all the way until the pinch came, showed the
white feather (as he has done more than once before) the
instant Fordham called upon him, and swerving half-way
across the course, allowed Ely to canter in alone,"amidst
tremendous cheering not only from the Ring, to whom ho
did another "good turn," but the public at large, with
whom the winner has ever been an especial favourite.
Half a dozen starters were stripped for the Twelfth Ascot
Triennial, and though the lot included two winners at the
present meeting in Celerrima and Gardevisure, neither
were backed for any amount, in the face of Broomielaw
(who represented Mr. Chaplin instead of Breadalbane) and
Farewell, each of whom had a strong body of partisans,
who "lumped it on" regardless of consequences—Broomie-
law was backed in three hands alone for close upon £6,000
—that first one was favourite, and then the other, until at
last there was not a pin to choose between them. Tho race
itself was a much more one-sided affair, as Broomielaw
jumped off at score, and coming through as hard as he
could split, was never caught, and won by a length and a
half, though the victory was anything but a bloodless one,
as his well spurred sides afforded evidence of. The
Alexandra Plate stood next for decision, and the
whole of the 14 " coloured" put in an appearance,
except Young Rapid, who, after being specially reserved
for this event, broke down on Monday last. John Scott
ran three, and on the strength of his close race with Ely on
Tuesday, Baragah was made first favourite at 5 to 2, Fille
do l'Air, who was backed for large sums, in spite of her
indifferent performance in the Cup on the day before, stand-
ing "next to the poll," having, by some extraordinary
oversight on the part of the framer of the conditions, no
penalty for winning the Oaks, though the same was in-
flicted on the winner of the Derby, St. Leger, and Prince
of Wales's Stakes. 8 to 1 was offered " bar two," and
taken about Blackdown, next to whom Cathedral, Breeze,
Planet, Armagnac, and Stafford, were most fancied of the
remainder. Such a goodloooking filed of old horses has
not been seen for many a day. The finish between Fille
de l'Air and Strafford (who beat his more fancied stable
companion in the race) was one of the finest and most ex-
citing of the week, and Lord Glasgow was " within an
ace" of carrying off this rich prize, which would have been
some recompense for his disappointment in the Cup with
General Peel, as it was by the shortest of heads only that
the French mire, who seldom runs two days alike, placed
this valuable stake—worth £1,585 clear—to Count
Lagrange's already lengthy list of winnings. Fille de
l'Air's success created general surprise after her indiffe-
rent performance in the Cup only the day before, and is
the more inexplicable from the fact of Baragah, who ran
Ely to a head after a terrible race on Tuesday, finishing as
far behind the French mare to-day as she was beaten by
Ely on Thursday !
Tho meetings for this week are Liverpool and Hampton.
The Liverpool Cup I shall expect to see BRADAMANTE or
SUCCESS win, and the Middlesex Stakes Auditor or
Moose. The distance being half a mile shorter than the
Ascot Stakes ought to suit the latter.

ANTI-FOULING COMPOSITIONS FOR IRON SHIPS.
—Our attention has been called to the splendid
condition of H.M. troopship Himalaya, which is the admi-
ration of all who behold her, or have had the gocd for-
tune to make a passage on board her. She is always clean,
efficient, and ready to do her work to any port of the globe
at a few hours' notice. We learn as a curious fact that this
fine ship has the exclusive privilege in her Majesty's navy
of having her iron bottom coated, with a well-tried
Southampton composition, whilst the rest of her Majesty's
iron fleet seem to be doomed to use the old Admiralty
chemical anti-fooling composition, and they, as a rule on
the lucis non lucendo principle, are "always foul as lawyers'
wigs."—{Lord C. Paget's remark in the House of Com-
mons. The most extraordinary part of this strange
anomaly is that, as we understand it, the Admiralty com-
position costs nearly twice as much as the other.
A passenger named Dickenson, now lying ill at
the Charing-cross Hotel, asserts that his life was saved by
Mr. Dickens, who rescued him from being strangled.
