BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two soldiers, of the Ist battalion, 3d company Grena-
dier Guards, named Mac Killaghan and Easter, were
charged before Mr. Henry with the folldwing assault :
Mr. Weeks, the landlord of the King's Head public -
house, Oxford-street, stated that, at about half-past one
o'clock this morning, he was walking with a friend, Mr.
Brett, in the Strand, when the prisoners, who were going
in the same direction, a little before them, stopped, and
pushed against them. Witness asked what they did that
for, and passed on. The prisoners followed them,
abusing them, and calling them " snobs ;" and at
the corner of Trafalgar-square they met a policeman, to
whom Mr. Bratt appealed for protection. The police-
man engaged the prisoners in conversation while witness
and his friend went on. As they were passing by the
Horse Guards the prisoners overtook them, and Mac
Killaghan swaggered against them, so as to separate
them. Witness asked him what he meant? and Easter
ran towards him (witness) and struck him in the face so
violently as to knock him down. While he was down
Mac Killaghan kicked him. A policeman came up
shortly afterwards, and took the prisoners in charge.
Mr. HENRY examined the witness at great length as to
his state at the time.—He said that he was perfectly
seber.
Mr. Brett, who said he was landlord of the Rose and
Crown, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, corroborated
the evidence of the complainant. He was quite sober.
Policeman F 51 took the prisoners into custody.: They
were both the worse for liquor—Easter worse than the
other. The complainant and his friend were sober.
Sergeant Fletcher, of the first battalion, third com-
pany Grenadier Guards, said that the prisoners had been
in his company for near four years. They were both
very irregular. being constantly absent without leave,
and had been several times punished for abeeace. They
were absent without leave last night, and ought to have
been in barracks at ten o'clock.

The prisoners said they did not meddle with the com-
plainant until he and his friend had both insulted them,
by calling them " lobsters." They admitted that they
were not sober.

Mr. HENRY was convinced that a very brutal and un-
provoked assault had been committed on the com-
plainant, and he would either dispose of the case sum-
marily, or commit the prisoners for trial, as the
complainant wished. He could inflict no higher penalty
than 5/.
Mr. Weeks entertained no vindictive feeling, and was
not anxious to have a high penalty, or indeed any penalty
at all, inflicted.
Mr. HENRY said he would not commit them for trial
as the complainant did not wish it, but the public must
be protected from such men as the prisoners, who, bear-
ing a bad character in the company, and being habitual
drunkards, rambled about the streets at night, annoying,
insulting, and assaulting quiet and respectable pas-
sengers. They must each pay a fine of 54 or be impri-
soned for tw• months.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000
to 8,000 bales, one-half of which was on speculation.
The market was not so active, but there was no change
of prices. Shares were not brisk.
The sale of railway shares yesterday, at Messrs. Lam ond
and Co.'s, was rather flat, and prices were much the
same. The following are a few of the principal sales:—

It is stated in accounts received this morning that
the probabilities are against the Great Britain steam-
ship being got out of the difficult position in which she
is placed, and that this fine ship must.
become a wreck. We trust that this anti-
cipation may prove to be entirely unfounded, but,
looking to the change in the weather, the extreme
length of the vessel, and the quantity of water she
draws, the chances are certainly against her being
got off, unless with very considerable damage.
The wool sales have just been terminated, and we are
n*ich pleased to report that they have gone off satis-
factorily. For wool of good quality an advance has
been obtained. But upon all hands it is admitted that
the wools are sent home too full of burrs and prickle.
The colonial flock masters ought seriously to consider
these complaints, and attend more to the condition of
the staple they send to this country. The Cape wools,
come over very well, and, as a matter of course, better
prices are realised for them.

quence of the thin attendance, this being a strict holiday
