THAMES.

James 'Davy, .a fish hawker, was brought before
Mr. Ingham, as he was about to leave the bench,
charged wi h assaulting-:. Police constable Charles
Rowbery, 347 K, in a rniiit brutal manner. The
prisoner and the police-n
-14 i appeared to have been
engaged in a severe -conflict; and were covered with
mud. '

Rowbery stated, that about half,past two that
afternoon he saw the prisoner in the Broadway,
Stratford, Essex, very drunk and disorderly, and sur-
rounded by a crowd of turbulent characters. Witness
said to him, " Dasey, go home." The prisoner im-
mediately seized him by the collar, threw him on
his back in a heap of mud, and fell upon him,
exclaiming, " You --, you tried to rob:-me on
Saturday night. I wish it was dark for your sake;
if it was, I would serve you as one of your cloth
was served twelve months' ago."

The prisoner, in his defence, said he was drink-
ing at the Angel publk-house, and went out in front
of the place with a pint pot in his hand, when the
policeman interfered, and said, it If you don't drink
the porter very quickly, I shall lock you up ;" and, be-
cause he would not swallow, his porter immediately,
laid hold of him.-- The prisoner: then called the ma-
gistrate's attention to the state of his .clothes, which
were torn, and to the bruises on his face.
Mr. laGIIAM—I have no doubt those have been
caused by your own violence.

James Brown, 308 K, said he was called upon to
extricate Rowbery, who was in the prisoner's grasp.
Dasey was kneeling upon Rowbery, and had hold of
his throat, and was punching him as hard as he was
able. Be heard the prisoner say he would have
RoWbery's life.
Waller, the messenger of the court, said that while
he was an inspector of the K division the prisoner
savagely assaulted two police-constables, bit one on
the thigh, which he severely lacerated, and kicked
the other on the mouth after he had knocked him
down. For this offence the prisoner was committed
to prison for one month by the Ilford Beneh.
Mr. INGuam said it was perfectly clear the priso-
ner was a most brutal ruffian, accustomed to such
outrages as these, and the expression he made use of
to Rowbery, that if he caught him in th• dark he
would do for him, required no explanation. He
should not be doing his duty to the public if he did
not pass a very severe sentence on such a vagabond
as the prisoner. He should order him to pay a fine of
305., and in default of payment commit him to the
llouie of Correction at Ilford for 14 days.
The prisoner was sent away to gaol.

Barbadoes, which went at 38s 6J to 463 for middling to
good yellow.

orders unexecuted. In Crushed Sugar there is no varia-
tion.

TEL—There has been a further decrease in the de-
mand for Green, and rather lower rates have been
again acceded to, whilst large quantities are offered for
sale; the better sorts are least in request. Black has
been purchased with caution, still holders are not
disposed to make any further concession for in-
ferior and middling, but beter sorts can be ob-
tained rather under previous terms, as there is
a more plentiful supply at market. Scented Caper
and Orange Pekoe are offered more freely for sale,
and the trade operating with less freedom, prices
have declined ld to lid per lb. The public sales

over 2s 7,1 to 2s 9d, better sort 2. lad to 3s 3d, and fine

FRUIT.—The business done in currants for the last
week has been to a very trifling extent, hut prices con-

trary effect. Muscatels in good demand. Owing to the
large quantities of Turkey rigs forced on the market
