HULL—MARCH 28.
There was a good attendance of farmers, but a very
small show of wheat. Millers were free buyers, and, in
some instances, is more was paid. For good-conditioned
foreign corn more money was obtainable, while all spring
corn was neglected. Linseed 5s per qr dearer, and oil has
advanced from £5 to a per ton ; but cakes have receded
from their late high rates. Nothing doing in rapeseed,
and the market for bones is less brisk.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, MARCH 28.
CROWN COURT.—Before Mr. Justice Cresswell.
George Cowell, Michael Gallagher, Mortimer Grim-
shaw, Luke Wood, John Brocklebank, John Lang, John
Gardner, Wm. Parkinson, James Waddington, Joseph
Dolphin, and Thomas Gregson were charged with un-
lawfully conspiring together, and threatening, intimida-
ting, molesting, and obstructing working people at
Preston, and preventing them from accepting employ.
ment with certain manufacturers (named in the indict.-
ment), in order to compel the said manufacturers to
make alterations in the mode of carrying on their trades
and businesses. There were also other counts varying
the charge.
The defendants pleaded not guilty.
The Attorney-General (for the county palatine), Mr.
Serjeant Wilkins, Mr. Segar, and Mr. Blackburne ap-
peared on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Watson, Q.C.,
and Mr. Spinks for the defendants.
Mr. Watson applied for the postponement of the trial
until the next assizes. The affidavits for this purpose
stated that it was not possible for the defendants to be
prepared to go to trial during the present assizes, because
so short a time had been allowed for preparing their
defence.

IPSWICH--MARCH 28.
There was a small attendance at market, and a small
supply of grain, particularly of wheat. The growers are
very firm as regards price, and whilst we report no mate-
vial advance, the millers were not, on the whole, able to
buy so well as last market day. We appear to-day to have
quite the gleanings of the barley crop. The samples offered
were sold at last week's prices.
