For all kinds of Hops, especially for the old and in-

WOOL.

Last week, the imports of foreign wool into London
were small. As nearly the whole of the attention of the
dealers has been directed to the public sides (which
will
he brought to a close on Wednesday) the demand by
private contract has ruled heavy; h
but the holders are
firm at full prices. The auctions have hitherto passed
off extremely well, at least five eighths of the quantities
brought forward having been disposed of.

(LEFT SPEAKING.)

COURAGEOUS APPREHENSION OF A THIEF ISIC A
FEMALE, AT TAKELY.—On Tuesday last, a fellow was
seen in the above village to go up to the cottage
of a poor woman, and soon after a shirt was missed.
Suspicion falling upon the stranger, a woman named
Martha, Bartrup, living next door, immediately started
in pursuit of him, and after a two-mile chase
caine up with him. She immediately collared
him, sad having unbuttoned his coat, found the
shirt concealed on his person. She then led her
prisoner back to Tukely, but unfortunately on
arriving there found that the constable was at Chelms-
ford, attending the sessions. Determined not to give up
her captive until she had safely handed him over to the
law, she started wi►h him to Dunmow Police Station, a
distance of four miles, and had marched him a great
part of the way, still holding him by the collar, when a
waggon came up, and the driver put the fellow into it.
The woman with meritorious perseverance walked behind
to preven t him from escaping ; but before they reached
Dunmow, Scott, the police officer of Stansted, drove up,
and the thief being given up to him, was safely lodged
at the police station. On Friday morning he was exam-
ined before the Rev. 11. L. Majendie, when he gave his
name John Jackson, and was committed for trial.—
Chelmsford Chronicle.
TMEATRE ROYAL ADELPIII.—We hear that the
drama of The Flowers of the Forest will be revived this
evening, when Miss Davenport, the late directress of the
Olympic Theatre, will appear in the character of Star-
' light Bess," and, from her well-known talents, we have
no doubt of her achieving great success, when so sup-
ported as she will be by Madame Celeste, Miss Woolgar,
Paul Bedford, and Wright.
WHALEs.—Large bodies of whales have recently
been seen sporting at a short distance off our shores.
Indeed, ever since September, scarcely a day has elapsed
without more or fewer being observed ; but during the
past week their numbers appear to have greatly increased
On /friday and Saturday, they were seen at a livle dis-
tance off the north head of Wick. It is likely that our
Orkney and Zetland neighbours will be soon enjoying a
whale harvest.—John o' Groat Journal.

GREAT FALL IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—On
Saturday a general reduc:ion in the price of bread took
place throughout the metropolis; household bread being
charged 4id., and the best bread sd. tho 41b. loaf ; the
lowest price at which bread has ever been sold in Eng-
land on record.

Saturday night.
The wife of the last witness confirmed his testimony.

BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH,
NEW-ROAD, LONDON.
Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter,
M.lt C.S.L., for IW.
" I have sew for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis-
pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been
treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine
if the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my
opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in
hundreds), that the Hygeian system Is founded in truth. The cases
which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been ei
a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos-
pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that
patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines.
The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my
book for the inspection of the publio. I have treated upwards of 300
poor patients during the past year, and I have now about 150 on the
Dispens try books. IN eonchtsion, I beg to return my sincere thanks
to the subscribers to the Dispensary.

EVESHAM.

At a public meeting of the inhabitants of this
ancient borough, convened by the Mayor, Anthony
Martin, Rig , a petiticn against the proposal was
unanimously agreed to. The petition contains the
following.—
" And your petitioners do further view with alarm
the proposal of Government to meet an increased
expenditure and deficiency of revenue, at a period of
unparalleled commercial distress, not by economy
and retrenchment, but by the renewal and augmen-
tation of the income-tax—a tax partial, oppressive,
and unjust, and widely different from an equitable tax
upon property, which your petitioners consider should
extend alike to Great Britain and Ireland."

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Mr. HUME, seeing the Noble Lord the First
Minister of the Crown in his place, wished to put a
question to him in allusion to the late affairs in
France.—(hear.) In that country the Government
that existed but a short time ago, no longer existed
now ; but a new had or would be established.—
(Hear, hear.) Now what he wished to ask the
Noble Lord was, whether it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to withhold alto-
gether from any interference with the people of
France—(Great cheering)--and to leave them
at liberty to choose and settle what Government
they pleased for their own country.—(Great cheer-
ing.) He had thought it his duty to ask the ques-
tion, and he hoped there would be no objection on
th the Noble Lord frankly to answer it.—
(Great cheering.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL (who was much cheered)
said--I can have no objection whatever to answe} the
Hon. Member for Montrose's question.—(Hear, hear.)
We have, as may be supposed, received official intel-
ligence of what has taken place in France—(Hear,
hear)—and in answer to the Honourable Mem-
ber for Montrose's question, I have to state
distinctly that we have no intention whatever
to interfere in that form of Government—(Tre-
mendous cheering)—which the French nation think
right to adopt, or in any way to meddle
with the internal affairs of France.—(Great cheering.)
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL felt compelled to com•
plain of a breach of privilege committed by the
proprietor of the Northern Star newspaper, in that
paper of Saturday last, against the Secretary at War
and himself, and accusing him of being the deadly
enemy of the Hon. Member for Nottingham.

WARWICK.

WARWICK. SATURDAY.—A public meeting was
held here yesterday on the subject of the income-tax,
the Mayor in the chair.
Mr. BAKER first addressed the meeting, and stated
the steps he had taken to defeat the re-imposition of
the income-tax in 1845, and accounted for the
inactivity of the middle classes at that time by their
being too busily occupied in their business to agitate
for an opposition to the tax. The Government had
therefore carried it as a palatable tax. He
trusted the present proposition of the Government
would meet with the opposition of every right-
minded man in the House of Commons, and that
every town in the country would follow the example
of Warwick in opposing it. Protection could only
be obtained by petitioning, and he had no doubt that
the voice of the country would be listened to. Mr.
Baker read an extract from the speech of of Mr.
Wakley in the House of Commons, which he com-
mended to the particular notice of his hearers.
Mr. Alderman Enoch, Rev. H. S. B. llarris,
and other speakers, afterwards addressed the meet-
ing, and strong resolutions against the proposed
imposition were passed, after which the meeting
broke up.

LYME REGIS.

The Select Committee appointed to try the merits of
the Lyme Regis election petition, met again this morn-
ing, Lord Ashley in the chair.
Joseph Mere was acquainted with a voter named
James Baillie, who polled for Sir Fitzroy Kelly. Shortly
before the election Baillie told him that he did not in-
tend to vote at all, as the Reform party would do no-
thing for him. Witness afterwards ascertained from
Baillie that he was induced to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly
by the promise of a situation.

Western Company's steamer Express sailed this morn-
ing for Havre, for the purpose of bringing over any
English residents who may be anxious to leave France,
—report states for the purpose of bringing over Louis

4sty would doubtless embark in a French steamer.

FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO A HOUSE BY ARMED
MEN.—At about tan o'clock last night, a man named
Henry Hoskisson, butcher, of this town, arrived on
horseback, at the police-station, Avenham-street, with
particulars of an outrage which had been committed at
Broughton, last night. Hoskisson states that at about
eight o'clock in the evening, five men, apparently
i nays es, with their faces blackened, and armed with fire-
arms, entered the farm-house of Mr. Richard Cottam,
Crow-hall, near I3roughton, and demanded money. Mr.
Cottarn and a party of friends were playing a game at
the time the men entered his house. Hoskisson also
states that a gun was fired by one of the robbers, but
cannot say whether any party was shot, or whether any
money or property was taken. Two of the men were
tall and dressed as navvies; a third party wore a suit
.1 cut fustiqn; and another wore a suit of uncut fustian.
The fifth was a short man, wearing a jacket. After
leaving Mr. Cottam's premises the ruffians took fte
road towards Lancaster. We understand that
Walters, superintendent of the county constabulary, and
some of the county force were promptly dispatched on
horseback to the scene of outrage.—Preston Chronicle.

DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.—We are sorry to hear
that a dangerous disease among cattle has broken out in
the lower parts of Westmoreland.—Carlisle Journal.

SMITHFIELD.

A considerable increase has taken place in the imports
of Foreign Stock into London in the past week, as will
be seen from the annexed returns:—

From whence. Beasts. Sheep. Calvet.

Ilarlingen
Rotterdam 450 ... 460
Antwerp

••• ---
••• 64
... $

Total 764 ... 700 ... 82
The general quality of the above arrivals has turned
out extremely good, especially as relates to the beasts
from Rotterdam, At the Northern ports, the importa-
tions have amounted to about 300 head of each kind of
Stock, in fair average condition. Although several
steamers, laden with cattle from Holland, had not been
reported at the usual hour, owing, we presume, to the
strong gales. The numbers of Foreign Stock in the
market, to-day, were moderately extensive, via., 124
Oxen and Cows, 180 Sheep, and 44 Calves, in the
general quality of which a further improvement must be
noticed. With home-fed Beasts we were seasonably
well supplied, and at leat three-fourths of them were of
full average quality. As the attendance of buyers, both
town and country, was far from numerous, and the
weather unfavourable for slaughtering, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state at Friday's decline
in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, the highest
figure for the best Scots being 4s 6d per 81bs.
At the close of the market nearly the whole of the best
beasts had been disposed of ; but a clearance of other
breeds was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire wo received about 1,000 Scots and
short-horns, including a few Herefords and runts; from
the northern, western, and midland districts, 1,100 Here-
fords, runts, Devons, short-horns, &c.; from other parts
of England, 200 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
190 horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the
supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood
of the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were on the
increase, compared with those exhibited on this day
se'nnight; yet they were very moderate even the time
of year considered. However, the weight of Mutton
was certainly heavy. On the whole, the Mutton trade
was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quo-
tations of the half-breds, Kents, &0., were a shade easier
than last week. The highest general figure for the best
Downs was 5s 4d per 81b.; but a few of the very primest
produced 5s 6d per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which
was moderate, moved off heavily, at a decline in value
of 2d per Sibs. In Pigs exceedingly little business was
transacted at our quotations.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat,
Barley, and, indeed, all other articles of home produce
for our market, coastwise, were on a very moderate
scale. By land carriage, they were somewhat on the
increase, though not to say extensive. the time of year
considered. From Scotland very little Grain came to
hand ; but, from Ireland, the fresh supply of Oats was
large, and of good quality. From abroad we received
8,811 quarters of Wheat ; 2,370 ditto of Barley ;
1,320 ditto of Oats ; 1,494 ditto of Beans ; 1,680 ditto
of Tares ; 4 969 ditto of Linseed ; 1,600 ditto of Rape-
seed ; 1,147 sacks and 243 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up to day very little English Wheat came to hand,
either from Essex or Rent,
and the show of samples of
both Red and White was trifling. Although there was
only a moderate number of buyers in attendance, the
demand for all descriptions was steady, at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, the prices paid on this day
se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected. Not-
withstanding the quantity of Foreign Wheat offering was
somewhat on the increase, that Grain was in im-
proved rt quest, especially the finest parcels of Dentate.
In prices, however, we have no change to notice.
With English Barley, we were fairly supplied. Selected
parcels were in moderate request, at full prices. Grinding
and distilling sorts were a mere drug, and somewhat
easier to purchase, say by Is per quarter. Superfine
Malt was unaltered in value ; the middling and inferior
kinds might have been had at is per quarter less money.
The supply of Oats again exceeded the wants of
the buyers. Potato parcels sold at late rates ;
the out-of-condition sorts were 6d. cheaper.
In Beans next to nothing was doing, at a fall in value of
Is per quarter. Peas moved off slowly, and late rates
were with difficulty supported. In Indian Corn and
Meal we heard of no transactions. The top price of
Flour was 46s per 2801bs.

COTTON TRADE.

The advices from England up to the 15th ultimo,
received by the Acadia on Wednesday morning, the
2d instant, are by no means encouraging for our
staple. The decline of one-eighth on the better
grades quoted in the Liverpool circulars is, perhaps,
'not quite so tangible and well defined, yet, on the
other hand, there are a variety of circumstances in
connexion which render the accounts in ques-
tion decidedly unfavourable, and as they were dif-
ferent from the expectation of operators here, a dull
and declining market has been the result. It continues
to be evident that holders there have to depend
exclusively on the demand from the trade, who have
no inclination and little means of purchasing beyond
their actual wants; and; impressed with the convic-
tion of an ample supply, importers have offered their
receipts of the new crop freely, and rather pressed
them upon the market, bringing the range of prices
within a narrow compass. The small advance which
had been realised at Liverpool in the operations of
the preceding two weeks had at once the effect of
checking sales at Manchester, and general trade
there, which had showed such bright symptoms of
revival, had again relapsed into inactivity. The
stock of bullion and the reserve of unemployed notes
in the Bank of England continued to increase, and
public securities were advancing daily in value, thus
showing abundance of money; but mercantile credit
has received such a shock that a comparatively small
portion is allowed to flow into commercial channels.
Each successive arrival from India also brings ac-
counts of improving markets for British manufac-
tures, but the length of time required in operations
with such distant customers puts it out of the poweriof
merchants and manufacturers, in the present state
of credit, to avail themselves of the favourable

opening.
In the present posture of affairs in England, the
crop question must necessarily excite less than its
usual attention. A crop of 100,000 or 200,000 bales,
more or less, will Make but little difference, for it is a
fixed fact, that it is not only an abundant one, but far
more than adequate to the consumption, and the later
accounts from the various south-western ports advise
that planters are commencing to exhibit less reluc-
tance to meet the views of buyers, being:pretty well
satisfied that the range of prices this season will be
on a low scale. Factors, however, do not appear to
be pressing their stocks on the market, but go on
steadily selling at fully current rates. The proba-
bility is, that the crop will soon come into market
freely, and that but little will be held over fcr
another season. The discrepancy between the re-
ceipts of the last two seasons is gradually disappear.
ing ; the difference now stands at 70,000 bales.
The stock at numerous new depots in South Carolina
and Georgia is larger than usual, and only waits
satisfactory prices to be thrown rapidly into the ports.
At the following old depots, with which the trade
abroad is familiar, the comparison stands thus :
Augusta and Hamburgh, 64,000 against 37,000 last

inhabitants of Bethnal Green, by Sir NV. Clay ; and
from Brentford.

Mr. HUME gave notice—taking it for granted
that there would be a reduction in the Government
establishments —(Laughter)— that he would move

praying her Majesty to give directions that all per-
sons who shall be appointed to civil, military, naval,
or other officers after this date, shall be appointed
subject to a reduction of salary.—(Hear, hear.)

SALMON FIsHINO.—The salmon fishing in the
Tweed commenced on Tuesday-last under the most fa•
vourable auspices, nearly 150 fine salmon having been
brought into this town during the course of the day fioq•
the various waters in the neighbourhood. The labours
of the fishermen have since been attended with nearly
equal success, and the selling price per lb. is consequently
less than it has been at the commencement of the season
for several years.—Berwick Warder.

English residents who may be anxious to leave France,

IVESTAIINSTER.

Marshal Kennard, described as town traveller to
Messrs. Christie and Co., grocers, at Whitechapel,
was charged with placing the lives of Mr. John
Clarke, Eccleston-place, Pimlico, and his brother, in
imminent danger, and killing a horse, value 35
guineas, by furious driving.
It appeared from the statement of complainant, and
three or four witnesses, that he was proceeding along
Belgrave-place, at about half-past seven on Friday
evening, in a gig, accompanied by his brother, when,
on arriving at the corner turning into Eccleston-
street, complainant saw defendant, who was with
another man, in a tilted cart, driving towards him,
along Belgrave-place, as hard as the horse could
gallop, and going at a rate, as described by the wit
nesses, of eleven or twelve miles per hour. Com-
plainant shouted to the men to stop, but was un-
heeded, and as Mr. Clarke saw there was no chance
of getting out of their way, he pulled up short. In
a moment afterwards their cart was driven against
complainant's horse, and the shaft penetrated the poor
animal just above the collar, and in a slanting direction
entered the lungs, from which injuries the horse died
in three minutes afterwards. Neither the complainant
nor his brother were unseated, but the defendant's
companion was thrown out by the violence of the
concussion, but was so little hurt as to make his exit
with all possible dispatch.
In reply to the charge the accused said he was very
sorry, but the horse, which could not do more than
six or seven miles an hour, was only cantering.
Mr. BURRELL said he had no power to award the
value of the horse, and must therefore leave com-
plainant to his remedy in a superior court. As re-
garded the public offence of furious driving, he should
impose the full penalty of 403.

CRIMINAL COURT_(THIs DAY.)
OLD COURT.

These sessions, the fifth of the present mayoralty, were
commrneed to-day before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder,
Aldermen Challis and Moon, the Sheriffs, &c.
The calendar contains the name of no less than 227
prisoners for trial, many of whom are charged with
most serious offences, and among that number is the
young Belgian girl for shooting the soldier in the Park.
The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them at some length, and in doing so alluded to several
of the most flagrant cases on the calendar, particularly
the charge of child murder. In that case a coroner's
inquest had taken place, and a verdict of wilful murder
had been found upon that inquest. In ordinary cases
that verdict ought not to influence the grand jury as to
whether or not they should find a true bill, but in the
present instance, after looking at the evidence, he (the
Recorder) thought there was such a prima tacie case
made out as would render it necessary tor the ends of
justice that the grand jury should put the matter into
the fullest state of investigation before the Court. The
Learned Judge then called the attention of the Grand
Jury to the charge of rape and incest by a father upon
his child, and to several serious charges of manslaughter,
and without once alluding to the case of the shooting of
the soldier in the Park, remitted the Grand Jury to the
discharge of their duties.
The Court then proceeded to swear in the petty jury.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY)
James Smith, a well-known thief, was placed before
Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in No. 7, Car-
burton-street, with intent to commit a felony.
Jane Horry said she occupied apartments in the above
house, and about eight o'clock last night she had occa-
sion to leave her room, and was absent about ten mi-
nutes, when she returned and saw the prisoner coming
down stairs direct from her room. She asked him who
he wanted. lie replied that be wanted to see John
Brown, and that the people up stairs had told him that
he (John Brown) was out. Witness knowing that there
was no such person in the house, suspected the prisoner
came there for the purpose of committing a felony. She
therefore followed 'him, and called the landlord of tho
house, who came, and having sent for a constable, gave
the prisoner into custody.
Police constable, 150 C, said be was called to No. 7.
Carburton• street, to take the prisoner into custody.
On their arrival at the station-house the prisoner was
searched, and a large black bag, a chisel, and a roll of
wax-taper found upon him.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said he met a
man in the street, who gave him the articles to take
care of, and requested him to go into the house and ask
tor Mr. Brown.
The prisoner, who is well-known to the police, was
remanded till Thursday.
