MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE---(FRIDAY).
An increased supply of English Wheat has been re-
ceived up to our rcarket this week,
it having amounted
to 3,210 quarters. The stands were fairly supplied with
samples, several of which were the refuse of Monday,
owing to which, the continuance of fine weather for the
crops, and the large imports of Foreign Grain, the de-
mand for all kinds of W heat of home produce was ex-
cessively heavy, and, to have effected sales, a decline in
the quotations from Monday, of fully 3s per quarter, must
have been submitted to; but the transactions were so
limited that prices were almost nominal. In Foreign
Wheat nothing was doing,
and in the few sales con-
cluded, the rates dec!ined quite 2s. per quarter. Most
of the, cargoes now arriving are going into granary.
Grinding Barley was is to 2s per quarter cheaper, witha
heavy sale. In other kinds of Barley nothing doing.
The Malt trade was very dull, and the rates had a down-
ward tendency. Oats and Peas were lower to sell.
Indian Corn and Flour as last advised.

Our market to-day being, the time of year considered,
olerably wed stipplied with beasts as to number, and
.
,he weather unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade
was very dull, at a decline in the quotations of 2d, per
81bs., the highest currency for the best Scots (which
were very scarce) not exe eding 4s 10d per Sibs, and at
which a clearance was not effected. There were on offer
324 Beasts, 1.660 3heep and Lambs, and 192 calves from
abroad,
in very middling condition. The numbers cf
Sheep being on the increase the sale for that descrip.
tion of stock was heavy, yet Monday's prices wire
mostly supported. Prime Down Lambs were disposed
,
of at full currencies, viz., from 6s to 6s 4d per 81b., but
the value of other kends had a downward tendency.

rates. Mulch Cows moved off heavily, at from 161 to 191,

The very favourable accounts which have come to
hand to-day, from Sussex and Kent, relative to the grow-
ing bine (which is mostly throwing out strong burr in
those districts), have had a most depressing influence
upon the demand here for all kinds of Hops, and the
quotations must be considered from 2s to 3s per ewt
lower than on this day se'rmight. We may state, how •
ever, that the Farnham district is represented as un-
tmaltily. The duty is freely backed at 180,0001. Su-sex

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
~amen chum, coachman to Samuel Cohen, Esq., No.
11, Sussex• terrace, Hyde-park, was placed before Mr.
Hari wick, charged wuh wilfully damaging a cab, and
assaulting Joh❑ Harding, the driver, and also with
assaulting the police in the execution of their duty.
The complainant stated that about half-past eight
o'clock this morning, he was driviig his cab along Par-
liament street, towards the House of Lords. On
arriving at the corner of Bridge street, a carriage and
pair of horses, driven by the defendant, drove sharply
round, and ran foul of witness's cab, knocking down his
horse, and brealting.lN.th shafts of his cab. Witness
jumped off tne box and ran to his horse, when he beard
some one call out, Go on ; it's all right." The de-
fendant then drove on at a rapid rate slung George-
street, and up King-street. Witness followed him as
fast as he could, and eventually came up with him in
Regent-street, just as he was in the act of setting a get -
demur down. Witness went up to him and inform^d
him of the damage be had done, and asked him for his
address. Defendant refused to give it to him, arid he
began to flog his horses, in order to get away. Witness
laid hold of the horses heads, when the defendant cut
At him wi-h his whip three or f ur times, and did all he
could to make the horses knock him down. Witness
then cal:ed out, " Police," and atter the lapse of a few
minutes a constable came to his assistance, and took the
d Pendant into custody. Subsequently to his being taken
into custody, some person inside the carriage tendered a
card to the constable, which he had since ascertained was
a false address.

Police constable 149 E, said he was on duty in Ox-
ford-street, about half-past ten o'clock this morning
when he heard the cry of " Police" proceed trom Regent-
street. lie immedistely proceeded to the spot and saw
the last witness holding the horses' heath, and the de-
fendant whipping him and trying to getaway. Witness
on being informed of the circumstances of the case, laid
hold of the horses, and refused to let the defendant go
till he hail give❑ his address. The defendant retused,
and threatened to flog him if he did not let his horses
alone. Witness still persisted in detaining him, when
he struck him across the hands with his whip. Witness
i lien sprung his rattle for assistance, and on the arrival
ut another constable, the prisoner was taken to the
station.

Police constable, 81 C, was on duty in Oxford-street,
when he heard the noise of a rattle. He proceeded to
Regent-street, and saw last witness, who had hold of
defendant's horses. The defendant whipped him (the
witness) severely across the hands. Witness went to
the carriage and asked a lady inside for her address.
She told him to ask a gentleman who was on the box. He
so; but the coachman told him not to give it. With
the assistarce of the other constable witness took
,ietendant into custody. The gentleman afterwards gave
thin a card, bearing the address of Francis Lyons Price,
Parthenon Club, H. gent-street. He had since ascer-
tained that it was not the right address.
In defence, the prisoner called his master, Mr Samuel
Cohen, who stated that he was sitting by the side of de-
fendant on the box, when the accitient took place. The
,ti,binan was on his wrong side of the road, and in en
leavouring to get out of the way of his carriage, the
norse fell down. He thought nothing more of the mat-
ter till they arrived in Regent-street, when the defendant
camp and laid hold of his bors,s' heads, and bawled out
fit the police, who speedily came, and without hearing
hat h.- had to say, proceeded to drug the coachman
from off his box with the mif,t brutal violence. He had
been in wally countries, and must say he never saw such
rn unnecessary degree of siolence, even towards the
most hardened culprit. As to the card of address that
was purely accidental He had a number of cards in his
pocket, and he gave that thinking it was his own.
slr. HARDWICK, after condemning in strong terms the
conduct of the defendant, said that his master was
equally as culpable as he was. It was his (Mr. Cohen's)
duty, when he saw the cabman's horse knocked down, to
have cause his coachman to stop, instead of which he
allowed him to drive on in order to escape the law.
Even w hen the complainant asked for his card it was IN,.
fused, and when the constables came up he sat quiet!)
oii the box, and allowed his' coachman to flog thew with
his whip. If the card of address had been given in the
first instance all the alleged violence of the police would
not have taken place. He really could not allow the
circumstance of a<saulting the police to pass over, and
should tine him 40. i. for the assault on the complainant,
255. for damage done to the ea), and ten days' impri-
sonment in the House of Correction for assaulting the
police.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Gtorge Tunkins, ti journeyman baker, formerly in the
employ went of Mr. Andrew Nicholl, 5, Cardigan-place.
Buxton Nevr•town, was charged with embezzling va-
rious sums of money belonging to his master.
Mr. Nicholl stated that the prisoner was in his em-
ployment up to the 13th of Jane, 1846. The prisoner
had, up to within a few days of his leaving witness's
establishment, been exerting himself most sedulously
among his customers in obtaining the moneys due from
tnem to witness. Witness bad been a very great sufferer'
by the delir.quences of the prisoner, but he would prefer
confining inn-melt' to the two bills now produced, viz., one
for 11. 3s 7d., and another for 1/. Os. Cid., and which
bore the prisoner's receipt.
Edward Ball, a police-constable of the N division,
and belonging to the detective force, said he had been
locking out for the prisoner for the last twelve months.
Yesterday he succeeded in capturing him at a low house
in the purlieus of Drury-lane.
The prisoner reserved what he had to say, and was
fully committed for trial.

We perceive that Mr. Webster, the lessee of the
Haymarket Theatre, takes his benefit to-morrow even-
ing, which closes the present successful season. Mrs.
Nisbett returns from the provinces to give Mr. Webster
her support ; and Mr. John Parry assists upon the same
occasion. The public are greatly indebted to Mr. Web.
star for the manner in which he has so long conducted
his establishment, and for the liberal and indefatigable
spirit with which, under all circumstances, he has
striven to rnaLitain the legitimate drama at the little
Haymarket. The good old comedies, which under his
e.anagement have been revived, and the very good new
comedies, which, by his encouragement and under his
direction, have been produced, attest to his desire to
serve the drama as a faithful servant, and the public as
an equally industrious caterer. We heartily wish Mr.
Webster a bumper t0.1324,1T0RT evening • and we recom-
mend all playgoers not to forget one who has so well re-
membered them.
