MA.RLBOROUGLE-STREET.-(THIS' DAY.)

PAYING DEAR FOR A SPREE.—George Gordon, gentle-
man, 3, Regent-square, Ileary Vaughan, medical stu-
dent, 69, Stanhope-street, and Charles Sanders, clerk,
14, Dalby-terrace, City-road, were placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly. Gordon and Vaughan were further charged
with assaulting Mr. John Wells, and his son, Charles
Wells, jewellers, 12, Ryder's-court.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Wells and his
son, that about 12 o'clock on Saturday night he was
alarmed by hearing,a great noise in the passage at the
side of his house, which leads to a place called the
saloon, and on going out to see the cause of it, he was
assaulted by the three defendants, who were very drunk,
with language of the foulest nature. Witness closed
the iron gate leading to the passage, when Vaughan
made a blow at him with a stick, which had he not
eluded, would have inflicted serious injury. His son
then came to his aid, and in ejecting the defendant from
the passage, Gordon struck him. A constable was then
sent for, and defendants given into 'custody.
The defendants said they had been dining together,
and taken too much to drink, they were now exceedingly
sorry for what had ocurred.
Mr. Bingham, after commenting on the conduct of
the defendant. fined Gordon and Vaugham 40s. each for
;the assault, and Sanders, who did not participate in the
attack upon the complainant was fined 20s.
The money was paid.
A DISORDERLY GENT.—Mr. F. H. Newton, surgeon,
of No. 58, Curzon-street, Mayfair, was brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and disorderly
in Castle-street, Leicester square.
Sergeant Newman, 7C, said, about half-past two on
Sunday morning, he was on duty in Castle-street, when
he saw the defendant with several others come out of a
low coffee-house in the same street, and they immediately
commenced making a great disturbance. Witness begged
of them to desist, and go quietly away, when the de-
fendant, who was drunk, refused, and, putting his glass
to his eye, came in front of witness and said, " Who
are you ? I've got three eyes, and you have only two ;
therefore lam the better man." As the defendant
seemed inclined to be troublesome, witness conveyed
him to the station.
The usual penalty of ss. was inflicted and paid.
The remainder of the charges, which were numerous,
consisted of the class termed " drunk and disorderly,"
and did not possess the least public interest.

MONEY MARKET

AND
CITY INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK, THIS DAY.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500
American were taken for export and on [specula-
tion. The market was firm and steady at [fully
previous rates. The sales comprised 6,000 Ame-
rican, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 64d. to 7i-d. ;
800 Egyptian at 6kd. to 10d. ; and 1,000 Surat at
3id. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were dull at
rather lower prices.
Wheat is up 2s. per quarter this morning.
The report of the Manchester market bfMessrs.
M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, states :

"From the commencement of the month up to near
the termination of its third week the market continued
to be fluctuating and changeable, owing to the different
causes assigned in our last monthly circular, but more
particularly so to the influence attaching to the un-
settled differences as existing between Russia and Tur-
key. During that period transactions became neces-
sarily more restricted for export purposes; consequently
the prevailing tone was of a dull and inactive character.
However from since, on or about the 19th, when, from
an impression that peace-would be maintained—as we
have never doubted that it would be—a very decided
change for the better has not only been perceptible in
feeling, but in practice. The result is, that some very
heavy operations have been entered into, and the aggre-
gate amount found to be again very large,"

The uncertainty of the harvest prospects is re-
cognised, however, as a great evil, and as likely,
unless the weather causes a change, to circumscribe
business.
