TOISAC4O.—There was no alteration last month in the
character of this market, and prices of all descriptions
have continued firm ; the trade purchased to a very
limited extent. Sales may be estimated at 1,080 hhds,
the largest portion of which were taken for exportation,
and consisted principally of low qualities. Latest advices
from New Orleans state, that an active business was
doing at firmer rates, with an upward tendency. Im-
ports 2,498 hhds. Deliveries 1,620 hhds, against 827
hhds in the corresponding month of 1848. Stock
23,154 hhds against 28,24$ hhds iu 1848. In Virginia
sales have been 620 hhds, mostly for exportation;
for home use demand was limited, and with one or two
exceptions, confined to small purchases for immediate
consumption. Good and fine spinning qualities have
been in moderate demand ; holders are firm
at previous rates. In Kentucky leaf and strips—
sales 410 hhds 160 of leaf and 250 of strips,
the former chiefly for exportation. Prices have con-
tinued without change. Maryland sales about 50 hhds
at 4d to GI. Harmer Loaf is quite neglected. Stock
being quite bare of fine sorts, two or three parcels of ord
to mid have been offered at low rates. Havannah Se-
gars have been in steady demand, and approved brands
taken freely at firm prices; eligible sizes of old imports
have obtained an advance. Manilla Cheroots have been
in steady demand at former rates, with the exception of
old No. 4's, now No. 3, which realised an advance, stock
being almost exhausted. Manilla Leaf sales made to a
limited extent of mid quality. Yara and Cul)a in good
demand, and sales effected of the latter at higher rates;
the small quantity of Havannah Leaf in stock, suitable
for fillers, is likely to have a beneficial effect on prospec•
live prices. Brazil, Porto Rico, Havannah, Seed-leaf,
and Florida in moderate demand, chiefly for exportation.
Columbian Leaf, Ambulema, and Giron, of good and fine
qualities, have been freely at higher rates, particularly
the latter, of recent importation. German have been in
fair demand, and fine quality taken at advanced rates.
Sales of mid and ord have also been made to some
extent. Imports large. Amersfoot of good quality for
snuff purposes, and selected colory descriptions for segars
more inquired for. Negro Head and Cavendish sales
made to some extent at firm prices; good and mid quali-
ties have met a ready sale at previous rates; but the ad-
vance prices demanded for Barrel's has induced buyers
to withdraw their orders. Stalks were in more demand.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Henry Winder, a silk mercer, residing at No. 29,
Oxford-street, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with
having wantonly and cruelly ill-treated a dog.
Mr. John Bond stated that he was a physician, and
resided at No. 15, Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square. On
the previous afternoon; about half-past five, he was
passing by the Boar and Castle, in Oxford-street; when
his attention was attracted to a crowd of persons who
were witnessing some men torturing a little dog, by
setting on a larger animal to worry it. He went up to
them, and by persuasions succ2e,led in getting the
smaller dog away. The latter rau up the street, followed
by the larger dog, and when near' the defendant's shop
tried to run in for protection. NA succeeding, it ran
round the corner and jumped up at one of the
windows, the glass of which was cracked. The
defendant then came out. of his shop with a long
pole in his hand, and struck the dog in a most
wanton and cruel manner. Witness remonstrated with
him, and begged him to desist from such cruelty. He,
however, turned a deaf ear to his remonstrance, and
taking up the dog by the skin of its back, threw it with
great force into the road. The dog struck a man who
was passing on the chest, and having recovered its legs,
again ran to defendant's shop, who struck the dog again
with the pole, broke three of its legs, end almost
knocked out one of its eyes. Complainant seeing the
dog in great agony, begged of defendant to hill it out-
right. He said in reply, " D---.-- and b— the doe., I
shall do as I like." Witness then, at the earnest solicita-
tion of several gentlemen who had witnessed the trans-
action, sent for a constable, and gave him in charge.
Witness added that he did not prefer the charge to gra-
tify any vindictive feeling, but solely on the score of
common humanity.
In corroboration of his evidence complainant called
several witnesses, who proved that the defendant's con-
duct towards the dog was wanton and cruel in the
extreme.

The accused, in defence, said he was in his shop yes-
terday afternoon, when he saw the dog, which appeared
to be in a rabid state, enter his shop. He immediately
seized a pole, used in lighting the gas, and drove the
dog out. His wife, who was in the shop at the time,
became much alarmed, and as she had only recently re-
covered from a severe nervous attack, he was afraid it
would cause a relapse. The dog then ran round the
corner, into Perry's•place, and tried to jump through the
window. Not succeeding the animal, which w as foaming at
the mouth, then came to the shep•door again, a=nd he being
much alarmed for the safety of his household, laid hold
of the clog and threw it into the street ; in doing so the
dog bit him on the back of his right hand. The animal
subsequently came back again, and, in the agony of pain,
he certainly did stadia it with the polo in order to kill it
outright. In support of this statement he called three
gentlemen who bed witnessed the whole transaction, all
of whom stated that the dog had been tortured into a
state of madness prealous to its running into defendant's
shop ; that the animal was foaming at the mouth, and
betrayed every symptom of being in a rahid state ; and
that defendant had only acted as he had done to secure '
his and his family's safety.
Dr. Richardson, 36, Lledford-square, said, after de-
fendant had been to the station he came to his house in
ti gate. of considyntw excitement, and, showing Jam his

hand, said he had been bitten by a mad dog. On loolv
IM, ."11" 11's harsd he found a punctured wound -'0,4

would he hare such a baud for 5001.

Mr. HARDWICK said defendant was acting. the time
ho struck the dog under the mot awful impressw°
regarding the consequences arising from the bite of 6
clog, 14 hich, from its having been previously cruelly ori
Lured, might have been in a rabid state. Such a state
mind, no doubt, totally unnerved him, and under these
circumstances he did not think defendant had wantonly
and cruelly tortured or ill-treated the dog. He show
therefore dismiss the case, but he must say that the CO
plainant and the other gentlemen had acted perfeeN
right in bringing the case before him.
