beer standing on the counter which belonged to Gad; and his
companion. Oddy said to him, he was a spongy beggar, and he
should have no beer from him, and Carter thereupon appealed to a
shoemaker with a wooden leg standing by, as to whether
he was a spungy beggar. This man replied that he did
not know, he never saw him spend any money. This
produced a laugh. Four or five of them after that stood chaff-
ing and wrangling together, but Carter in a few minutes attempted
to get up the pot again, and Oddy removed the pot with his one
hand, keeping Carter off with the other, without, however,
striking any blow. Carter stood for about a minute,
muttered something to himself; gave a stamp with his
foot, and went out. He returned in about a quarter of an hour,
pushed the door open and looked In, upon which the wooden-leg
man went towards the door and said, "Do you want me, Joe ?"
Carter said something which witness did n,,t hear, and
nodded his head to Oddy. Oddy rose to go towards the door,
and as he was making thither, another said to him, "he has got a
stick or a poker behind him." Oddy said, In reply to this, as he
passed, " I'll stick him." The people, and witness among them,
followed Oddy out to the door, and saw Carter back
away from the door till he got within a foot or two
from the corner of the street, which might be five or six
yards from the door. Oddy put his left hand on Carter's
shoulder, and lowered his right hand towards his skirt, as if with a
view of disarming Carter of whatever he had in his hand, and said,
" Give it no, Joe, like a man," or something to that effect. Oddy
was calm. Carter on this punched Oddy, as witness thought, two
or three times, and Oddy bent double, saying he had gotten a severe
blow, and was stabbed. Carter was tripped up by some other person,
and the knife fell out of his hands through the grating.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWT.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to
5,000 bales, including 1,000 bales American, at sd. to 6d. per
lb., for export to Russia, 800 Egyptian at 5 4d., and the rest
American at former rates. The market closed heavily,
though prices on the whole were unchanged. Shares were
dull.

At the Court of Proprietors of the East India Company,
held this morning, the subject of some public manifestation
towards Lieutenant Waghorn by the general body of the
East India proprietors was fixed to be brought forward, and
no donbt a most unanimous vote would have been
come to upon the merits of this gentleman. In
what form, however, the resolution will ultimately be
proposed, was not known at the meeting of the Court, as the
proprietor who gave notice of the motion was not present to-
day. We believe that the directors have already subscribed
3001. to the fund now raising for the gallant and persevering
Lieutenant. The subject is one which excites a great deal
of interest among all parties interested in the East India, the
China, and the Australian trades. In reference to this sub-
ject it may be stated that some disappointment has been
expressed at the formal reply of Mr. Gladstone to the
Lieutenant, upon the subject of shortening the communica-
tion between Singapore and Port Jackson, the expense being
at present the objection to the making of a trial. In a
great commercial country like this, surely the "stingy"
principle cannot be the best policy.
There are no later Colonial arrivals in the City this
morning.
The Consol Market has been very firm this morning at
9514% for the Account. The Three per Cents. Reduced have
been just quoted at 951/8 %; and in the New Three-and a-
Quarter per Cents. there has been an improvement from
96%8 to 9715. Exchequer-bills have risen to 15s. premium,
but they are now a shade cheaper. India bonds from 275.
have receded to 21s. premium. The additional success of
the Ministerial Corn• law project in the House of Lords last
night has given much satisfaction in mercantile circles this
morning.
The only bargains in the Foreign Market to-day have been
a rise in Portuguese Four per Cents. for the Account from 48
to 49%, and a slight reaction in Spanish to 24; in the Three
per Cents. to 3714, and in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. to 5934.
The Railway Shares and Scrips have been steady, without
any material change in the quotations.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been on an
unusually limited scale, the stands were scantily filled with sam-
ples. On the whole the demand for that article was firm at, in most
instances, Monday's advanced (urrencles. In Foreign Wheat very
little business was transacted, yet the holders were firm, and would
not sell except at extreme figures. Bonded Grain was a mere dra
almost nominal in value. The sale for Barley was tolerably firm,
and previous rates were well supported ; but Malt commanded very
little attention. Oats moved off firmly at rather more money, while
Beans and Peas were held at extreme rates.

DEATH OF SIR ALEXANDER MONTGOMERY CITN-
NINGIIAME, BART.—We have to announce the demise of the above
baronet, who died on Monday week at Skaldon, Ayrshire. Ile was
son of the sixth baronet, whom he succeeded In 1837. The late baronet
was one of the claimants to the dormant earldom of Glencairn. His
brother, now %ir Thomas Cunninghame, succeeds to the family ho-
nours and estates.
THE Asti AND THE OAK.—A correspondent, who last
year anticipated a wet summer, because the usual prognosticator of
such a season had appeared in the ash opening its leaf before the
oak, expresses confidence In the prevalence of dry weather generally throughout the slimmer, because he has this year, as on many similar
occasions, observed the oak to be considerably in advance of the ash.
—Eastern Counties Heraid.
FIRE AT DEvONPORT.—At half-past three A.M. on
Sunday, a fire broke broke out in the malt-house of Mr. Thomas
Ilnsband's brewery, at Morice Town. Engines from the dockyard,
Caledonia, and belonging to the town and fire-offices, were soon in
attendance, and the suction hose of the dockyard engine having been
placed in a large tank on the premises, the delivery was so powerful
that the slates were driven off the roof by the concentrated body of
water, and the flames were speedily extinguished, the damage,
which might have been most extensive, being only between 300/.
and 400/.
REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH.—Mr. Rigby Was?
who some time since retired from the representation of Ipswich,hea
has again addressed the electors, soliciting their votes at t P•
preaching election.
