for breaking the constable's arm? That was a se'
rious charge, and likely to affect the officer as long as
he lived. were

own fault. Be was grossly iil-treating him, and 111
attempting to push him down he fell down some steps
and broke his arm.

CORK, MAY 18.—We have to report immense arrivals 01
foreign grain this week. A very large number of vessels has°
entered our harbour during the last few days, many of then',
indeed by far the greater portion, being grain laden. A,,e'
however, most of these have only called for orders, and wi'"
therefore, in all probability, leave in a few days, we cannot look
forward to any very I,,ng continuance of the dep ession which
this large influx of bread stuffs has undoubtedly produced in
this market. The receipts of home grown grain are trilling in
the extreme, those of wheat from the Ilth to the 17th instant,
both inclusive, amounting only to 3' barrels. We have little
alteration in the price of any article of produce. In prepared
Irish and foreign wheat we have had little business passing'
but we cannot quote any alteration in value. The value of
oats is firmly maintail ed, and as stocks diminish daily the
article is likely to become dearer. We have no transactions °f
any moment to record, nor any alteration to make from oar
quotations of last week. In flour, as regards the primer quail'
ties, we have a fair consumptive business doing, while for the
coarser descriptions we continue to experience a very aetivil
demand. The large arrivals, already referred to, have cause
such a damp in the trade in Indian corn, that it is difficult t°
give quotations correctly. We think, however, we are prettl
near the mark when we state that a decline of 5s to 75 6rl
has taken place in the article, in which but little business
is passing. Flour—Firsts 14s to 14s 6d; extra 153 Ocl ;
