METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market. The quality of the beasts was very middling
---of the sheep and calves tolerably prime. Some of the
Dutch sheep appeared to carry a large quantity of internal
fat.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive as to
number ; but their general quality was by no means prime.
The best Scots, short-horns, &c., commanded a steady salo
at, in some instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d
per 81bs, the rates being 4s 8d and 48 10d per 8lbs; other-
wise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and last week's
prices were with difficulty supported. A portion of the
stock was turned out, unsold.

The arrival of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire comprised 3,500 shorthorns, &c.;
from other parts of England, 900 various breeds ; from
Scotland, 6 Scots ; and from Ireland 900 oxen and heifers.
There was about an average number of sheep in the pens;
nevertheless, the mutton trade was firm, and last Monday's
prices were well supported. Prime Downs and half-breds
realised 5s 6d to 5s 8d per 81bs. The general quality of the
sheep was only
Calves—the supply of which was moderate—were in
steady request, at Thursday's advance in the quotations.
The best veal was worth 5s 4d per Sibs.
We have to report a steady sale for pigs, at fully previous
405 4]51 rates.

BOROUGH HOP.
Good and fine hops since our last report have been in
steady request' at full prices, but inferior and medium
produce, owing to the full average supply of home-grown
qualities on sale, as well as to the large importation, has
sold heavily at barely late rates. Last week's import was
169 bales from Rotterdam, 321 Boulogne, 465 Antwerp,
290 Ostend, 22 Calais, 83 Dordt, 25 Hamburg, 216
Bremen, and 1,024 bales from New York.

Since our last report fair supplies of home-grown pota-

French produce has continued on a moderate scale. The
trade, generally speaking, has ruled inactive ; neverthe-
less, prices have been fairly supported.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON A YOUNG WOMAN BY A SOLDIER.—
John Dicken, a private of the 2d battalion of Grenadier
Guards, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting
a young woman named Mary Ann Collins, living in
Exeter-street, Strand.

The evidence of the complainant, who said she lived by
charing, was to the effect that she was walking along Pic-
cadily towards her home, when the prisoner came up to her
and wanted to force her down Constitution hill, and to get
rid of him she had to speak to a constable. The prisoner
then left her, and after she had got as far as Down-street,
the prisoner again came up to her and tried to force her
down a mews, and said if she made a noise he would knock
her down, and on her resisting he did so, giving her a vio-
lent blow on the head and hurting her shoulder.

George Reeder, at Mr. Shearston's livery stables, Hay-
market, said he saw the prisoner knock down the young
woman, and on expostulating with him on his brutal and
unmanly conduct he said he would serve him the same.
The prisoner set up a defence which only aggravated
the offence with which he was charged.
Mr. Tyrwhitt— I honour the red coat, but I know that
there are as bad men in the army as anywhere else. It is
too bad of you to disgrace the uniform you wear by such
base conduct to a young woman like the complainant. I
shall commit you for a month, with hard labour.
A TAILOR'S NOTION OF A. CASE.--TWO tailors, named
John Carter and John Hughes, were charged with creating
a disturbance at the Coach and Horses, Great Marlborough-
street, and the first named was also charged with assaulting
a young man named Hingson, the potman at the house.
The complainant Hingson having proved the case, and
that he received a severe blow on the head from Carter,
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Carter whether he wished to ask the
complainant any questions ?

Ca..-ter—Oh yes, certainly. I will ask him whether I dis-
turbed the serenity of his house ?

Witness—Your blow disturbed the serenity of my head.
(Laughter.)

Carter— It may not end here, sir; perhaps you will have
it all taken down.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Oh, yes ; we will have it all taken down,
of course.

Watson, 299 A, said he lived next door to the house, and
on Saturday night went into it for his supper beer. Both
prisoners wero drunk. He saw Carter strike the potman
a blow on his head. Cat ter made several attempts to bite
him (Watson).
Hughes—l was a little drunk or intoxicated.
Carter—With much respect, I submit the case is not
legally made cut. Now, what is the evidence of the police-
man? (Laughter.) It's a preposterous case. If you will
allow me I will put a few questions to the constable touch-
ing the case.

Carter, having put some questions, said—l still submit
the case is not made out, and if you dis3harge me—
Mr. Tyrwhitt—That I shall certainly not do, but fine
you 205., and your companion ss.
