WORSHIP-STREET.

Anne Mallandine, a squalid and wretched-looking
young woman, in an advanced state of pregnancy, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with
having attempted to murder her son, a boy seven years
of age, by throwing him into the Regent's Canal, and
also to destroy herself.
Mr. John Stoddart, a clerk in the service of an ex-
tensive builder, named Palmer, at Haggerstore, stated
that he was standing outside his employer's counting-
house, within a few yards of the canal, at four o'clock
on the preceding afternoon, when he observed the pri-
soner grasping her boy tightly by the hand and forcing
him across the towing-path in the direction of the
water. The little fellow, who was evidently much ter-
rified, appeared struggling to release himself, and re-
peatedly called out, " Don't, mother, don't," but the pri-
soner continued to drag him on till they ruched the

edge of the bank, when she suddenly caught him up in
her arms, and flung him into the canal. The prisoner
then rapidly divested herself of hor shawl, and was in
the act of untying her bonnet, when witness rushed for-
ward and seized her, end a friend having come up at the
moment, he consigned her to his charge. He then
hastened to the side of the canal, and finding that the
boy was completely exhausted with his struggles, which
had carried him some distance from the bank, witness
instantly plunged into the water, and having fortunately
reached him as he was on the point of sinking, succeeded in
getting him out, and directed his instant removal to en
adjoining public-house, where he speedily recovered
from tht, effects of the immersion. On questioning the
prisoner as to her motive for such an unnatural act, she
replied that her son and herself were both starving, and
had not broken their fat since the preceding morning-
The prisoner was thereupon given into custody, and the
poor boy was removed to the workhouse.

- A lad-named John Wilding corroborated the forego-
ing evidtlice, aid added that the prisoner in the first
instance endeavoured to lure the boy to the bank, by
showing him some ducks that were swimming in the
water; but as he hung hack in evident anticipation of
her design, she at once resorted to the forcible means
described by the last witness to of her inhuman
object.

Police-constable Heath, N 428, stated that upon
taking her into custody, the prisoner expressed her re-
gret that the assistance aff,rded by the witnesses bad
not arrived a few minutes later, as she would then have
been spared the trouble of going before a magistrate or
anybody else.

On being asked if she wished to say anything, the
prisoner, who was dreadfully agitated, replied in a faint
voiee in the negative. _

Mr. HAMNILL directed the depositions to be at once
made out, and after eulogising the intrepid and praise-
worthy conduct of Mr. Stoddart, which had been the
means of saving two lives, ordered the prisoner to be
committed to Newgate for trial.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LEEDS, FEB. 6.—We are well supplied with wheat; the
market is firm at Friday's rates. Barley does not vary from
last week. Beans steady. Oats and other articles without
material alteration. Average prices of grain : —wheat, 3,110
qrs, 46s Id ; barley, 1,543 qrs, 293 Id ; oats, 86 qrs, 18s 4d ;
beans, 125 qrs, 303 81; peas, 20 qrs, 445.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEB. 3.—At our market this
morning we had a large show of wheat from the growers, and
the condition being generally poor, no advance on last week's
prices was obtainable ; but foreign, on the contrary, was in
improved request, and realised an enhancement of 1s per qr.
For flour we experienced a heavy demand. Rye unaltered.
Choice malting barley commands a fair steady sale, and for
Chevalier, weighing 531/21b per bushel, 32s per quarter visa
obtained. Foreign qualities, on the other hand, meet little
attention. Malt dull, though no cheaper. Beans and peat
without change. Oats ruled dull, choice qualities sustained
previous quotations.
WISBECH, FEB. 3.—We continue to be fairly supplied with
grain of all kinds. Our growers have been holding back the
last two or three weeks in anticipation of higher prices, end
to-day they tried hard to effect an advance, which they acconv
'dished, of Is to 2s per quarter on the best dry wheat, and 15
on other sorts; but the advance was generally, and very wisely,
resisted by the trade. Other grain as before.
GLOUCESTER.—Our market for wheat was more animated
on Saturday than it has been for several weeks past. English
samples were sought after, and eagerly purchased at former
rates; in a few instances good foreign samples sold at an
provement of is per quarter. The sale of barley and oats was
dull, at barely last week's rates. Beans are difficult to dispose
of, and the turn in favour of buyers.
WORCESTER.—We had a short supply of wheat from the
farmers on Saturday, and it met with a free sale at an advance
of Is to 2s per quarter. Barley unaltered, with a trifling
demand.

DUBLIN, FEB. 6.—There was a very lively market in both
native wheat and oats, at an advance of 6d to is on the former,
and 3d on the latter. Foreign wheat, though in fair denaandt
obtained no sensible advance. Indian corn dull, but held at
full prices.

BELFAST, FEB. s.—We had on Friday an advance of 6d to
9d on wheat, and 2d to 3d on oatmeal ; since then the supplies
have been small, and yet fully the half of the advance thee
noted has been lost. There is, however, more firmness in the
market generally than for a length of time past, and in store
lots there is more doing. Wheat, 8s 6d to lOs 4d; barley, 5°
