MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY;
The arrivals of English Wheat, up to last week, coastwis_Aet
as well as by land carriage and sample, was on a very limited
scale, though of somewhat improved quality. Of Barley,
Malt, Oats, and all other articles of home produce, the re'
ceipts were small. From Scotland, no grain of any descrir
tion came to hand; while from Ireland, only about 11,000
quarters of Oats came fresh to hand. The importsof Foreie,
Wheat and Beans were large—upwards of 26,000 quarters of
the former, and 10,000 quarters of the latter having been
landed in bond. Fresh up to-day, the receipts t)f
Wheat were again small; however, the stands exhibited
comparatively limited number of samples. Notwithstancllo4

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two young men of highly respectab!e appearance,
named Geo-ye Grn and Henry Smart, were charged
with assaulting the police at a promenade concert, at
Covent-garden Theatre, on Saturday night.
It appeared from the evidence of policemen A 17, 179,
110, and 20, and of Superintendent Pierce, that on
Saturday night there was a disturbance at
the concert, which originated in a dispute be•
tween the police, headed by Superintendent Pierce,
and a gentleman who had been seen by him to pick up a
trinket that had been dropped by some person in the
promenade. This person reusing to give up the trin-
ket, the police attempted to take him in custody, but
were prevented by the crowd, who " hustled" and hooted
them. While this was going on, the prisoner Smart
came behind policeman A 17, and knocked his hat
down over his face. He was immediately seized
by policeman A 179, who took him to the
station-house. About the same time policeman
A 110 was endeavouring to keep back a mob who were
driving him and the other policeman from their places,
and preventing them from arresting the person who
held the trinket. This policeman was several times
pushed and hooted by the prisoner Griffin, who several
times warned him that he must take him into
custody if he did not desist, and he ultimately did take
in charge. Both prisoners went quietly to the station-
house. The disturbance was so great that the police
were obliged to send for a reinforcement.
The prisoner (Smart) said that lie certainly did at-
tempt to bonnet the policeman, but he had no intention
either of creating a disturbance or of hurting the police-
man—in fact he only did it in fun.
The other prisoner said that he did not intentionally
push against the policeman; he was thrown against him
by the crowd, who pressed on him to that he could not
help it. In support of this statement he called two
witness- s.
Mr. Jones, the parson who was observed to pick up
the trinket, was t'.en examined. He had several times
attempted to force himself on the attention of the Court
in the course of the case. He stated that in the course
of the concert he observed a person near him, who had
a stick in his hand, attempt to " hook up" a trinket which
was lying on the floor. He said that " two could
play at that game," and accordingly picked it up.
The superintendent (who was in private clothes) imme-
diately came up to him, and said he must give that up.
Witness did not know that this was a superintendent of
police, and he refused to give it up. The police then
seized upon him, and took him to the station-house.
He left the trinket at the station-house in the charge of
the inspector who was there on duty, and he was then
discharged.
Mr. HALL commented at great length upon the case, and
remarked particularly upon the fact that Griffin treated
the charge with levity, and laughed while the evidence
was being given. Ile said he must make a distinction
between the person who acted thus and the person who
showed contrition for his conduct. In carrying out this
principle, Mr. Hall fined the prisoner Smart (who
" bonneted " a policeman) 51. ; but committed Griffiths
(for merely " pushing" a policeman) to the House of
Correction for nine days.
The prisoner, and indeed every person in court, was
astounded at this decision, which was followed by a
general murmur of uncontrollable indignation.
The prisoner Smart immediately paid the fine.
