THAMES.

FATHER AND SON.—FEROCIOUS ASSAULT.—
Thomas Wall, a stout powerful young man, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with seriously
wounding his father, Michael Wall, an Irishman, of
No. 1, Love-lane, Shadwell.
The prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprison-
ment and hard labour for violently assaulting his
father. He is a turbulent and desperate fellow. The
old man, who was in a very weakly condition, with
difficulty stated that the prisoner lived in the same
house, and that he had repeatedly warned him to
quit his lodgings, but he would not go. On Satur-
day night, soon after 12 o'cicck, he came down
stairs and struck him on the head, and then went
upstairs in a most unconcerned manner. His son
came down stairs soon afterwards, and beat and kicked
him in a savage manner. Three of his ribs were
broken, and he could scarcely walk or breathe.
Mr. Paget—Do you mean to say your ribs are
broken ?

Witness—They are, sir.
Mr. Paget—Let a surgeon be sent for to give
evidence of the injuries received by the prosecutor,
and I will complete the case this afternoon.
THE BROTHER AND SlSTER.—William Hazen,
aged 23 years, was brought before Mr. Paget charged
with assaulting Mary Ann Hazell, his sister.
The complainant, who was sobbing and greatly
agitated, said she was a beer seller and landlady of
the Coopers' Arms, ale and beer house in Sidney-
street, Mile-end. Her brother had been in the
public line, and he might do well if he attended to
his business. He preferred a life of idleness and
dissipation. tie had lived on her industry and
earnings for a long time. He had frequently abused
her and struck her.
Mr. Paget—What, this fellow, 23 years of age,
threaten you and beat you ?
Witness—Yes, sir. Last night he was extremely
violent, and abused me and threatened me. I be-
came frightened' of him, and he struck me in the
presence of the constable.
John Blanks, 72 K, was called into the Coopers'
Arms last night, and saw the prisoner strike his
sister and knock her down.
The Prisoner—l have nothing to say. I know
nothing about it.
Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's
imprisonment and hard labour.

BRADFORD.

The disease is still spreading, though not so ra-
pidly nor so fatally as it was, in this district, espe-
cially in the East Morley division, around the
borough. The report of Mr. Collins, the inspector
of one part of the division, states that there have
been eight deaths during the week, five being at
Allerton, and three at Idle, and that ten animals
are at present under medical treatment. Since the
first appearance of the disease he had been success-
ful in the treatment of 20 cases. The report of Mr.
Carter, the inspector of another part of the divi-
sion, stated that eight days occurred at Wylie and
liartshead ; two cattle were recovering, and five
remained ill. Mr. David Parkin, of Rodleyfold,
Calverley, has been summoned before the magis-
trates of the East Morley division, on the charge of
having, in disobedience of the Orders in Council,
omitted to inform the inspectors of the appearance
of the disease among his stock, and in consideration
that he had lost all his cows (five in number) by the
plague the,Bench mercifully inflicted the nominal
penalty of ls. only and costs, altogethar amounting
to 103., though they stated that in future the
full penalty would be inflicted. The weekly return.
presented to the Keighley magistrates was not BO
favourable as in the previous week ending Dec. 8.
Two cows died of the plague at the Myrtle Pasture,
Bingley, on Friday, and other two were in such a
condition of disease that they wen destroyed by
order of the inspectors.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.
Though the report of Mr. Lepper, one of the offi-
cial inspectors, last published, stated that the Vale
of. Aylesbury at last enjoyed a happy immunity
from the ravages of the cattle plague, it would
aPPear that the disease had broken out with
dreadful virulence in the immediate neighbour-
hood. It was stated on Saturday to the Aylesbury
magistratestlaaton the farm of Mr. Hart, jun.,
at Askett,
near
seized
fewer than 1G cows had
on the previous day Wing,
beanl
w by the rinderpest,
that several of them had diedand that the
remainder were in a hopeless state lt was added
that Mr.
Hart was unable to account for the out-
break on his farm, unless it was that the disease had
been
communicated to his cattle by the passage of
stock along the London and North-Western line of
railway, which runs close by. The report of mi..
Bond, the inspector for the Buckinghain division of
the county, shows that the disease still rages as badly
as ever there, and that not fewer than a dozen cases
are within the radius of a few miles. In the Thorn-
borough and Thornton parishes there are no less
than eight cases, and one case has occurred at Pad-
bury. The Duke of Buckingham was on Saturday
elected president, and Mr. 8,. P. Fitzgerald vice-
president, of the newly-formed mutual protection
society at Buckingham; a large number of farmers
paid their deposit, the amount of call being 10s. in
every £lOO upon the value of stock insured, in case
of death two-thirds of the value to be given to the

M ARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet. Good and fine samples were firm
in price, whilst inferior produce sold at late rates. The
demand for spring corn ruled somewhat inactive, but with-
out leading to any quotable change in prices from the pre-
vious week. The flour trade was steady on former terms.
On the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet, at
about stationary prices. At New York the trade-for wheat,
flour, and maize has ruled heavy on rather easier terms.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a moderate supply of foreign beasts on sale
here to-day. The show of sheep was large, but the general
quality of the stock was only middling. Sales progressed
heavily on lower terms.

Considering that the great market was held here on
Monday last, the number of English beasts exhibited here
to-day was large, and in prime condition. All breeds were
vary dull, and 2d per 81bs. lower than last week, and at
which a clearance was not effected. The top figures for
Scots and crosses were 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,000 shorthorns, &c. ; from Norfolk,
200 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 1,200 various
breeds; from Scotland, 500 crosses ; and from Ireland, 300
oxen and heifers.

There was a full average number of sheep in the pens,
in, generally speaking, middling condition. Good and
"prime breeds moved off slowly, at 2d per 81bs less money.
Inferior breeds sold at reduced but irregular quotations.
We have to report a dull sale for calves—the supply of
which was limited—on easier terms. The top price was
5s per 81bs. _ _

We had a full supply of pigs on offer. The demand was
very inactive, on easier terms.

Lord Spencer's ox, which took a prize in the Agricul-
tural-hall, was exhibited by Mr. Duckworth. The price
demanded for it was £5O.

Messrs. Lintott and Son bad on sale some of the Duke
of Richmond's, originally for show in the cattle yard.
No market will be held here on Monday next. It will,
however, be open on Tuesday.

SUFFOLK.

The disease has, it is feared, made its appearance
in the Cosford division. It has also broken out at
Lidgate. Cases of disease, have also occurred at
Stoke Ash, Occold, Eye, &c. At the last Ixworth
petty sessions Michael' Stubbings was convicted of
hrving brought or sent into the Blackbourn district,
on the 25th ult., certain bullocks for the purpose of
exhibition or sale, and Edward Deeks, innkeeper, of
Barnham, was convicted of having received the
beasts for the purpose of such exhibition or sale,
contrary to the orders issued by the local authority
of the hundred in pursuance of the Orders in Coun-
cil. Stubbings was fined £2O and costs, £3 4s. Bd.,
and Decks was fined £3 and costs, £3 4s. Bd.

More stringent WORCESTERSHIRE.
More
of cattle in this
notices with regard to the re-
movalcounty were issued on Sa-
turday by the rnagistra
Sessional districts. The
Mayorofseveral of the Petty
of Worcester has
issued a proclamation prohibiting
cattle into his jurisdiction, except for the the removal of
havetssued
b i
purpose of
being slaughtered, up to the Ist ofFlluary, and
eauPdetty
the magistrates of the Pershore division
a similar notice, while the authorities of
Sessional divisions of the Hundred House
of
Worcester extend the prohibition also to sheep and
swine. In neither of these divisions of the county,
up to this time, has the cattle plague appeared.

BREAKFAST PEVERAGE. —Homoeopathic practitioners, and
being
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as e.ng
the meat healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introduces into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptal le to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
ills attention to this subje t, and at length sue ceded, with
the a,:sistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, aid so refined by
the pert. et trituration it re-elves in the process it passe3
hrough, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps' cocoa is distin:uished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma.
i
Dr. liassall in his work, "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive
pnciples; every
ingredient necessary to the growth and
sustenance of the bedy." Agate, "As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc

POLICE INTEL LIGEN CE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A NICE SERVANT.—Maria Elizabeth Simmonds,
a young woman, was charged with robbing her em-
ployer.
Mr. John Waters, printer, of Macclesfield-street,
Soho said the prisoner had only been in his service
a week, and he had ascertained that she had begun
robbing him immediately on entering his service.
On Saturday afternoon, in consequence of what a
boy told him, he stopped the prisoner as she was
coming down stairs and asked her what property of
his she had about her. She denied having anything,
but on his insisting upon her turning out her
pockets, she produced three silk tassels, his property,
and subsequently she dropped from under her dress
a black velvet mantle. On being searched
.after
she was taken to the station two duplicates, one
relating to a pair of boots and the other to a new
blanket, were found upon her, and since he (Mr.
Waters) had found that two drawers had been
forced open and their contents abstracted.
A pair of boots and a blanket were produced by
an assistant to Mr. Brown, of Cranbourne-street,
pawnbroker, and they were identified by the pro-
secutor.
A boy named Love pro'red seeing the prisoner
leave one of the prosecutor's rooms on Saturday
afternocu, and secrete the mantles under her dress.
He then gave information to the prosecutor.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner with the
view of tracing the other missing property.

DORSET.

At the present time this county, happily, is free
from the cattle plague. When it appeared at Wyke
Regis a few months back it was effectually stamped
out by slaughter. But great alarm was felt lest the
disease should again be introduced, and the county
magistrates for the petty sessional divisions at Dor-
chesteJ, Cerne, Wareham, Wimborne, Sturminster,
and Bridport, have prohibited the sale of horned
cattle at markets or fairs till March 1 next. The
borough of Weymouth, however, is open to fat stock
for immediate slaughter. Last week Messrs. Bris-
towe and Ogborn, contractors for supplying meat
for consumption by the men employed at the Go-
vernment works at Portland, were summoned before
the county magistrates for infringing the order, by
taking 10 beasts to Wyke Regis, within the Dor-
chester division, but itwas urged in their defencethat
the order had not then been published in the London
Gazette, and therefore was not binding upon them,
and the magistrates, though they felt that objection
was invalid, as it was the first case, dismissed it.
Last Saturday another case came before the Dor-
chester bench. Messrs. F. Slade and R. Hine, cattle
dealers, on the previous Sunday drove 10 beasts
they had brought from the Isle of Wight from Dor-
chester to Powerstock along the highway. They
pleaded ignorance of any order forbidding the re-
moval of cattle. The magistrates said they were
presumed to know the law, and inflicted a penalty
of £2O on each of them.

The Main Drainage of London.

On Saturday the members of the Metropolitan
Board of Works, headed by Sir John Thwaites, the
chairman, paid a visit to the spot on the Plaistow
Marshes where the river Lea passes through the
Abbey Mills. The purpose of the visit was to per-
form an important publicact in connection with the
great main drainage works of the metropolis,
namely, the laying of the foundation-stone of the
Abbey-mills pumping station—a building which is
to rival the works at Crossness, and in which will be

~.e~~

the means of raising the sewage of the low level of
London to the great high and middle level sewers.
On arriving on the ground the party immediately
descended into what appeared to be the bowels of
the earth, some forty feet below the surface of the
ground, and twelve below the bed of the river Lea.
In descending some steaming stones and rubbish
attracted attention, and on inquiry it turned out
that the material—gravel and peat—excavated at
this depth was really quite hot, as hot indeed as if
boiling water had been poured upon it, and the large
stones retained their heat for a considerable time
after being brought to the surface. The company
passed through some of the completed sewer, which
in its length of five miles from the Tower, has to go
under two branches of the Lea and under the river
itself. The subterranean passage, which is about
12 feet high, was most brilliantly lighted, and led to
the site of the station, and if the plans may be taken
as any guide, it will be a building as handsome as it
will be useful.

Sir JOHN THWAITES opened the formal proceed-
ings of the day by requesting Mr. Robert Freeman
the deputy chairman of the main drainage commit-
tee, to lay the stone, a task which, he said, was not
offered in idle compliment.
Mr. BAZALGETTE, the engineer, read a statement,
which was engrossed for insertion in the stone,
showing that the sewer, of which this was the mouth,
would drain 25i square miles, and would have to
raise about 5,000,000 cubic feet of sewage a day, and
that the engine power, about 1,140 horse, was pro-
vided for the raising of 15,000 cubic feet per minute,
so that all storm rains could be safely carried off.
Mr. FREEMAN then, amid loud cheers, laid the
stone, and in an address which he made to the as-
semblage thanked Sir John Thwaites for the honour
conferred on the board in having this pleasing duty
handed over to one of the general body of members.
He went on to show the great good which the com-
pletion of the work would bestow upon the people
of the metropolis, in giving them a purified air to
live in, and so aiding them in attaining good health.
Cheers were then given for Mr. Webster, the con-
tractor, for Sir John Thwaites, Mr. Bazalgette, and
finally for the skilled labour which would carry out
the work—an honour which the workmen so appre-
ciated that they heartily cheered the members of the
board in return. The works, which are of the most
solid character, are being carried out under Mr.
Edmund Cooper, the resident engineer.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND THE ISLE F ELY.

The magistrates of the Ely petty s sional divi-
sion have issued a caution to the owners of dogs re-
questing them to confine them as mach as practic-
able from wandering about, and to co-operate with
the justices in every way which may tend to check
the spread of the disease. It has been represented to
the justices by inspectors and others that dogs at-
tracted by the scent of animals dying or slaughtered,
and buried in consequence of the disorder, are found
prowling about yards in which animals have been
buried, and it is believed that the disease is carried
in consequence from place to place. The murrain
prevails with severity in the neighbourhood of Chat-
teris, 29 deaths having taken place. Several losses
have occurred in the Wisbech district, particularly
in the Walpoles. In the Cottenham district the dis-
ease has spread to no fewer than 33 different farms.
The disease has shown itself upon the farm of Mr.
F. W. Newman, of Chippenham.

SEEDS.

Linseed was in fair request, but the demand for rapeseed
was by no means active—prices, however, ruled firm. The
trade for most agricultural seeds was very quiet, at about
stationary currencies. Cakes met a steady sale, at enhanced
