THAMES

A SAILOR'S IMPROVIDENCE.—Robert Forster, a seaman,
was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting
police-constable Mackay, 516 K.
The constable met the prisoner last night in Lucas-
street, Commercial-street, in a state of intoxication. The
sailor ran at the policeman " like a bull at a gate," and
butted him on the breast with his head. The constable
treated this with the greatest forbearance and good
humour, and when it was repeated he raised his head and
allowed him to go on. Directly afterwards the prisoner
entered into a quarrel with a man not in the "force," and
began fighting with him. The constable interfered, and
the prisoner struck him a heavy blow on the nose, and
caused it to bleed profusely.

The prisoner said he was intoxicated, but should keep
sober in future.

Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner if he had spent all
his money, to which he replied in the affirmative. He came
home a fortnight ago with £7O, and it was all gone. He
drunk it away principally.

Mr. Partridge—You are a foolish fellow. I fine you 10s.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—WiIIiam Thompson, a seaman,
was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently
assaulting a woman, named Mary Raisin, at No. 4, Bell-
street, St. George-in-the-East.
The prisoner was temportarily acquainted with the
victim of his brutality. He quarrelled with her in her
lodgings, and beat her and kicked her in a very savage
manner. She was found weltering in her blood, and the
prisoner standing over and kicking her. Ho was secured,
and the woman was removed to the London Hospital.
The prisoner was remanded till Friday.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A small supply of English wheat was received fresh up
to our market to-day, both by water and rail. Although
the demand for all qualities ruled far from active, the bulk
of the supply was disposed of, at the prices of Monday last.
As regards good and fine samples, the trade may be con-
sidered firm.

The market was but moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. As a rule, the amount of business transacted was
small. Holders and importers, however, were firm in their
demands, and Monday's currency was well supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at
full quotations.
With barley the market was moderately supplied. On
the whole, the trade was steady at Monday's prices.
Malt sold slowly, yet no change took place in its value.
The trade for oats was decidedly firm, and Monday's
advance in prices was fully maintained. The market was
but moderately supplied.
Both for beans and peas the market was very firm at
fully late rates.
Most descriptions of flour were in moderate request and
prices ruled firm.
