POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Wiliam Russell, a bootmaker, residing in Cheapside,
was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with furiously
driving and knocking down two men, whereby their
lives were endangered.
Mr. Denis itarlQw, 51, Wignaore-street, stated that

about half-prst ten o'clock on Saturday night he was
walking along Oxford-street, when his attention was
called to the prisoner, who was driving a horse and gig
at a rapid rate. Witness watched him for a few minutes,
and saw him run in contact with a cab. He then ap-
peared to have lost all control over the animal, which
dashed along faster than before. Witness pursued the
prisoner, and subsequently saw him knock down two
men who were crossing the road. The men were so
severely injured that they were taken to Middlesex
Hospital, where they are now lying in a precarious
state. The prisoner was eventually stopped near Thomas-
street, and taken to the station.

Mr. George Frost, No. 9, Queen Charlotte-•row, New-
road, said he was in an omnibus in Oxford-street on the
night in question, and saw the prisoner flogging his
horse, which was proceeding at a rapid rate ; he sub-
sequently saw him run over two men, who were picked
up in an insensible state.
Mr. C. Dobson proved seeing the prisoner flogging
his horse previous to the two men being knocked down.
Witness saw him run over an old lady. He afterwards
assisted in conveying him to the station.
The constable who received charge of the prisoner
produced two certificates from the surgeon at Middlesex
H.,spital, which certified that the two men were in a very
dangerous state from injuries received by being run over.
The constable added that the prisoner did not appear to
be in liquor.
Mr. BINGHAM said, under those circumstances he
must remand the prisoner till a future day, in order to
see the result of the inju-ies received by the men.
Mr. Robinson, who attended for the prisoner, applied
to have him admitted to bail.

Mr. BINGHAM said he had no objection to do so, pro-
vided that good and substantial bail of two housekeepers
in 100/. each, and the prisoner in the like sum, was
offered for his (the prisoner's) appearance on Tuesday
week. Bail was immediately offered and accepted.
THAMES.

_ -
Ikey Solomons was charged with having stolen a
quantity of gin from the premises of Mr. Purton, pro-
prietor of the Bedford Arms Tavern, Commercial-road.
Mr. Purton stated that for a considerable time past he
had missed large quanties of gin from a vat in his cellar,
for the disappearance of which he could in no way ac-
count, till, the day before yesterday, he noticed that a
small trap-door in the flooring, between his top-room
and the cellar, just large enough to admit of a man pass-
ing his arm down it, and which he had secured by pass -
ing three iron bolts and a staple underneath, had been
forced, thus showing the mode in which the gin had been
abstracted. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who
had been noticed to be very fond of being in the tap-
room when no other person was there. Ile came in on
Saturday evening, called for half a pint of beer, and took
it into the tap-room with the newspaper. There was
no other person in the taproom. Witness immediately
concealed himself behind a door commanding a view of
his cellar, and shortly after saw the prisoner put his arm
down the aperture and dip some gin out of the cask. His
potman also saw the transaction. Witness immediately
sent for the police and gave him into custody. Mr.
Purton added that he had missed as much as ten gallons
at the time from his gin vat.

This evidence was—corroborated by the potman and
police-constable K 83, who had examined the premises,
and produced the trap-door and bolts in question. He
also found a bottle containing gin on the prisoner.
Solomons asserted that he was innocent, and had pur-
chased the gin found on him.
He was fully committed for trial

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
LOAN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, last
week, were on a very moderate scale, while those of all
other articles of home produce were trifling in the ex-
treme. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any Grain
or Flour came to hand ; but, from abroad, we received
22,867 quarters of Wheat, 2,330 quarters of Barley,
12,610 quarters of Oats, 7,736 quarters of Beans, and
18,324 barrels of Flour, which may be considered a fair
average importation. Fresh up to day, very little Wheat
of home produce came to hand. This circumstance,
together with most of the foreign imports being in very
middling condition, caused the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce to rule very firm, at an improve-
ment in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight
of from 4s to 5s per quarter, and at which a good char-
ar.ce was effected. At the close of the market scarcely
any English Wheat remained unsold. Notwithstanding
the show of foreign Wheat was large, the sale for that
article was somewhat active. Most of the millers being
short of stock, especially of fine qualities, the demand
for the best importations was firm, and the quotations
were from 3s to 4s per quarter higher than on Monday
last, and at which amount of improvement a
full average amount of business was transacted.
The supply of all kinds of Barley was very small,
still, however, the malsters and others purchased with
extreme caution at but little, if any, variation in prices.
Most of the Barley on show was of foreign growth.
The best parcels of Malt commanded a steady sale at
full prices, but all other qualities hung on hand, al-
though the supply was extremely small. We had only
a limited show of Oats, nevertheless the Oat trade was
in a sluggish state at about last week's currencies. The
quantity of Beans brought forward was good, while the
sale was heavy at last week's quotations. In Peas, the
supply of which was small, so little was doing that the
quotations were almost nominal. Indian Corn was held
at Is to 2s per quarter more money, but the sales wen-
very small. Barrelled Flo.ir was 2s higher i in sack
qualities no change took place. Seeds generally were
dull, but not cheaper.

At the outports the arrivals have been very large, viz.,
about 400 head of Beasts, 1,500 Sheep and Lambs, and
120 Pigs, ci.iefly from Holland, with a few from Spain,
and which have been mostly disposed of at full prices.
The supply of for, ign stock here- this morning corn•
prised 5 Oxen from Spain, 60 ditto from Prussia, 20
ditto from Germany, and 300 thEen and Cows, 1,649
Sheep and Lambs, and 21 Calves, from Holland. Gene-
rally speaking, its quality was inferior, and much diffi
culty was experienced in effecting a clearance, nothwith-
standing the salesmen submitted to lower terms. There
was, compared with that exhibited on Monday last, a
considerable increase in the number of home-fed on
sale, owing to which, and the prevailing hot weather,
the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline
in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of quite
2d per 81bs. The very highest figure for the best Scots
was ss, but the more general currency for the first
quality of Beef did not exceed 43 10d per 81bs.
!'here were some extremely well made up Beasts on
offer; yet the total supply was by no means first-rate.
and several complaints have reached us of the mode in
which this description of stock dies. From Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 900
Scots, homebreds, and short horns; from the westerns
and midland districts, 920 Herefords, runts, Deeveodilst &c.;an
from other parts of England, SOO of various b

NEWGATE AND LEADENBALL.
Owing to the prevailing hot weather, scarcely any
slaughtered meat has come to hand from distant quarters
since this day se'nnight. The supplies on offer killed in
the metropolis have been very small ; yet, from the be-
fore-mentioned cause, the general demand has been in a
sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations—
especially those of the inferior qualities—have had a
downward tendency. Several packages of Beef have
come to hand from liamburgh, in very middling condi-
tion, while about 2,000 carcases of foreign meat have
sold at late rates.

About 1,200 baskets of New Potatoes have been im
ported, chiefly from Holland, since Monday last. The
supplies of English growth are very extensive, yet the
trade is firm, at from 8s to 14s per cwt. The accounts
respecting the appearance of the growing crops of Pota-
toes are, taken as a whole, very favourable.
