BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)

E. Shepherd, a cabman, was charged with wantonly and cruelly beat,
ing a horse, and James Mitchell, his companion, with assaulting the
officer in tl,e execution of his duty.
Mrs. Priscilla Gilbert, of Cranbourne.street, Leicester.equare, stated
that about one o'clock yesterday she was passing down Crown.street,
Soho, when she saw the prisoner put down a fare. He was drunk at
the time, and without any necessity proceeded to flog the horse in the
most shameful manner. As soon as she had satisfied herself that he did
not require the poor animal to advance, but kept him back for the pur-
pose of indulging in brutal cruelty, she went to him to remonstrate, at
the horse was already nearly exhausted, and instead of desisting he per•
severed in his cruelty, and told her he would do the same to any woman
who dared to disobey his orders, at the same time applying to her the
most abominable epithets for her interference- Seeing she could meet
with nothing but abuse, she instantly procured an officer as?d related the
circumstance to him.
Garner, a constable of the F division, proved that when he :eine UP
the prisoner had alighted from his seat, and when he attempt..d to
take him Into custody, Mitchell, who was standing by, tried to resCtle
him, and assaulted him in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Mallard, a County magistrate, complimented Mrs. Gilbert for the
praiseworthy manner she had interfered to rescue a dumb animal frorn
unnecessary and wanton cruelty.
In answer to the charge Shepherd said the horse was in the habit er
backing, and he feared he would have gone through some shop windoec
Mr. Mallard ordered him to pay a fine of 10s., and his companion •
fine of 20s. for the assault, or go to prison for one month.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The report of arrivals last week was very scanty of both Grain areal
_
Flour, its the ice prevented the vessels getting up to their moorings i"
the river. This morning a thaw has taken place, but the navigation_
being still impeded, no business has been transacted. The top price of
flour is maintained at 555., and some business is doing among necesii"
sous bakers at proportionate terms.

BILLINSGATE MARKET.
Fish of all kinds very scarce and dear. To-day trade rather brisker
price mueh as on Saturday.
PROVISION MARKET.
The change in the weather has caused business in this market to be
very languid. Today nothing was done of any importance, and prices
of every description remained unaltered.
TALLOW MARKET.
P.Y.C. to-day is merely nominal; the quotation is 48s. Pd. to 490. e
but the price is uncertain.
COLONIAL MARKETS.
There is a fair business advertised for the week, principally S6ices and
Cotton, with some sales of Mauritius, one of 4,000 bags, and some
Bengal. But little Coffee. The Spice sale commenced to-day at noon
in Mincing lane, and consisted of about 1,200 bales of different kinds
of Cinnamon, besides chests and boxes. There were also some small
sales of Mace, Nutmegs, Cloves, and Pepper. There were not man,'
orders for Cinnamon In town, and the sale progressed rather
heavily ; and when we left prices presented no very obvious
variation from those of the previous market prices. There
was also a small parcel of Singapore Coffee, but it is no criterion
to the market. If this change in the weather continue we might ex-
pect a considerable improvement in business, as dealers must be in short
stock. The state of the market generally is much the same as reported
last week. Where Canadian produce sells it fetches much the same
prices as previous to the revolt. They are flrm,
but not higher.
Saltpetre is now comitig into the market rather largely.
