POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW STREET.—On Saturday last Mr. Taylor, a bottle tner-
chant, residing in Old Swan-lane, Upper Thames-street,. was
brought before 0. It. NINSHITLL, Esq. the sitting Magistrate,
on a warrant for assaulting and beating Augustus D'Assig, Esq.
a German, but in the service of the British Army. It appeared
from his evidence that on Thursday evening last, about seven
O'clock, he, in company with a Gentleman a friend of his, were
crossing the road near Charing-cross, and just as they got on
the pavement, the defendant came along and shoved him so
violently, that had it not been for his friend he must have gone
through a 'shop window. Mr. D. went after the defendant,
who had at that time a great mob at his heels, for it appeared
he had served every body so he came near. Mr. D. upon going
to remonstrate with him upon the impropriety of his conduct,
he, without any ceremony, placed himself in a fighting atti-
tude, wad upon being asked for his card, he struck him a most
violent blow under the jaw, which caused Mr. 0. to stagger,
but his friend detained the defendant till he recovered. After
much altercation and abusive language, on the part of the de-
fendant, he gave him his card, with the direction as above,
hut this was not until he had been followed to Davis's Amphi-
theiitie Westminster Bridge.
Mr. 1111xstun Lt. said, he should forbear Raying any thing
until he had heard what Mr. Taylor had to say in his defence.
Mr.. Taylor then said, he remembered having passed Mr.
D'Assig and his friend, but had no recollection that'he had
assaulted him in the way described. Denied having done so to
any other person, and should not have given the complainant
the trouble to have followed him to the Theatre, for he thought
he was the first assaulted, as Mr. B. came up to him, and with-
out any ceremony, forcibly detained him.
Mr. MINSIIIILL said it was a publio affair, and advised Mr.
D'Assig to take the affair to the Quarter Sessions. It was his
duty to call upon the defendant to find bail for his appearance
at the Sessions. The defendant then gave bail, himself in NZ.
and two sureties in 251. each. ' _ _ _ _

A Jew was examined upon a charge of having obtained 201.
of a farmer in Oxfordshire, under false pretences; but the mat-
ter was compromised.
QtTEEN-SQuAnt.--The driver of a Woolwich stage coach
was brought up on a warrant to answer a charge of barbarously
and wantonly ill-using and cruelly treating a horse, on the
information of It Martin, Esq. M.P. for Galway.
Mr. Martin having been sworn, said, he never saw a more
atrocious outrage upon an animal in all his life. He followed
the coach from the end of Westminster Bridge, nearly to
Charing-cross, and saw the defendant most barbarously and
cruelly treat them.
The defendant said he would produce two or three respecta-
ble witnesses to. prove that he only applied the whip two or
three times.
Mr. MARTIN assented to the withdrawing of the present
conviction, in order to aflbrd him the opportunity of bring-
ing those persons forward; but he hoped that if, after hearing
them, the Magistrates should be of opinion that lie had failed
in his defence, they would consider it such an aggravation of
the case as to call for a conviction in the full penalty.
The conviction was accordingly withdrawn, add a fresh in-
formation made out, which was ordered to be heard on Monday.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL Coax EXCHANGE, Aug. 40.

We had again a large' arrival of Wheat ;'more than one-
half of it was Irish, 2800 quarters were from Canada, and the
temainder English; Scotch, and Welsh; of Other articles it
was not heavy. Another attempt was made to-day to get rid
of Irish Wheat and Oats by auction; a part of the Wheat
found buyers at 5s per bushel fur the growth of 1810, and
3s 2d to 4s for that of 1821 ; the Oats were withdrawn Se
long as these sales continue, little business can be looked for
in the ordinary way. We have again to note Wheat at a re-
duction of Is per bushel on the best, and considerably more
on the inferior sorts. Barley about 3d, and old Oats 2d;
Beans 2s per quarter, and Flour 2s to 3s per pack. Malt dull
and looking down. Nothing doing in bonded Grain. This
market is very bare of American sweet Flour, in bond ; but
tlfere is plenty of stale and sour.
