LAMBETH.

John Williams, a coach painter and wheelwright, was
brought up on a summons charging him with neglecting
to maintain his thr.e children.

The case, as represented, was ono of considerable in-
justice towards the complainant, as well as cruelty to-
wards her unfortunate children. It appeured from the
statement of the complainant that about fifteen years a‘zo
the defendant had married her sister, who did nut long
survive, and two years after her death he made proposais
to and married her. From the time of their marriage,
and down to February, 1849, the defendant lived with
her, and treated her very well, but that year he left her
and went to Morden, in Surrey, where he got employ-
ment, and used to allow her money for the support of her-
self and children. He soon, however, went to live at the
house of a female who had a wheeler's shop there, and
with whom he carried on an improper connexion, and
two months ago, on her applying fur her usual sti-
pend, ho told her she had no further claim on him; that
their marriage was not legal. In conclusion, the com-
plainant said that the defendant had left her with three
children, one Henry, aged seven, Ellen four, and Alfred
two years old last April. The poor woman stated that
she had not the slightest notion that the marriage was
illegal.
'[ho defendant, when asked what he had to say, re-
plied that he could not deny the children were his, and
it was his wish to contribute to their support.
Mr. NORTON considered the conduct of the defendant
exceedingly disreputable. However, as the law at pre-
sent stood, he could only make an award for the support
of the children, as the illegitimate offspring of the de-
fondant, omennet sch. M.
fondant, and in doing so ho regretted he could not
of 7s. 6d.r
compel him to pay more than halt-a-w
Norton directed that an order for the
a week, together with the expenses
attending the
present proceedings, should bo made out against the de-
fendant.

MANCHESTER, Auo. 2 —We have again to report un-
settled weather throughout the present week, heavy rain having
fallen on several occasions. The trade, however, has been un-
influenced thereby, and except for approved marks of fresh-
made flour, and choice cuts of oatmeal, both of which are of
scanty supply, the demand for most articles ruled extremely
languid. Coastwise the arrivals of malt at Liverpool are to a
moderate amount, but of other articles thence, or any produce
from Ireland, very limited quantities are reported. From
abroad liberal supplies of wheat, Indian corn, and flour have
come to hand. At our market this morning, the weather
being fine with a more settled appearance, a very lifeless feel-
ing prevailed, and wheat receded in value Id per 70Ib. Flour
moved off slowly on the terms of this day se'nnight, and the
same remark will apply to oats. The scarcity of oatmeal
enabled holders to realize very full prices.
WORCESTER, Aun. 2.—Wheat must be quoted at about the
prices of last market day, viz., 17s to 18s per bag for white and
les to 17s for red Engli,h. Farmers tried to obtain an ad-
vance upon these rates, but millers would not comply. Malt-
ing barley is becoming more in request, and the current price
is 3s 4d to 3s 8d per bushel, distilling 3s 3d. English beans
from 45 24 to 45 6d per bushel, and foreign from 3s 10d to 4s
4d. Old English oats, 3s 3d to 3s 6d per 391 b ' • Irish, 2s 10d
to 3s 2d. Winter 'vetches at 43 6d to 59 per bushel. Peas

a retail sale at from 3s 6d to 4s for gray, and 3s 10d to 4s 6d
for white.
Stourbridge market on Friday presented a somewhat similar
appearance to Worcester. Wheat was dull, but lower prices
were not submitted to. Averagi,, 45s 4d per quarter. Goed
malting barley was inquired fur, and we may say that the
malting season is beg:rining to set in. An advance of 2d per
bushel was obtained on good samples. Peas and beans no-
minally as last quoted. For oats quite as much money ob-
tained.

Wolverhampton market was well supplied, and the weather
being fine, it met a dull sale at last week's rates. English
white IBs to 19s per 9 score 101 b, and 16s 6d to 17s 6d for red.
A limited sale for foreign. Barley in moderate demand at
former prices. Oats moved off slowly at from 215 to 22s per
3121 b for Irish, and 23s to 253 for English. Beans unchanged.
English, 123 to 13s per 1961 b ; French, /2s ; and Egyptian,
11 s to Ils 6d.

At Ki Iderminster the supply was equal to the demand, and
as the millers are not disposed to advance, and the farmers hold
on, trade ruled dull, with the tur❑ in favour of the seller.
Reaping will be pretty general in favoured situations next
week. It has already commenced. The potato crop promises
to be very abundant this year.
NOTTINGHAM, Ago. 2.--The supply of wheat at market
to-day was much less than last week, but the demand being
♦ery limited, all except the finest samples were i s per quarter
lower. Grinding barley a retail trade at late prices. In oats
and beans but little doing, without alteration in value.
In the markets of Suffolk the trade has been dull, unless at
lower rates.

At Ipswich a reduction of Is was in many instances submitted
.o for wheat; there was no other corn on offer.

At Woodbridge sales were slow, at a like reduction. There
were complaints in the market of the midge and the mildew
having made their appearance in the wheat, and caused a great
defect in the ear.

On Thursday at Stowmarket there was little but wheat on
offer, and to effect sales of this a slight reduction was ne-
cessary.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JULY 31.—The numbers
at our market to-day were—oxen, 643 ; sheep, 1,966 ; lambs,
5,861. From the large supply sales were dull, and prices had
a downward tendency. Best ox beef, 44s per cwt ; current,
42s ; cows, from 36s to 40s. At the close of the market a
clearance had not been effected. Best aged wethers brought
bid per lb, current sd, inferior 4d to 4id. Lambs varied in
price from 7s to 18s, current from lOs to 14s. A few of both
sheep and lambs turned out unsold.
DALKEITH, JULY 31.—The relative weight per four bushels
of the three prices of wheat were 18st 101 b, 18st 51b, and l7st
111 b. Oats, 12st 81b, 12st 41b, and 105 t 131 b. Barley, 16st Ilb,

DUBLIN, AUG. I.—The weather since Tuesday has,
whole, been favourable, which has caused a considerable dull-
ness in our corn-market, except for eats, which brought an
advance of 3d to tid per barrel. We further reduce our quo-
tations for Indian corn Is to 2s, and for every other article we
repeat Tuesday's quotations. A few samples of new bere were
again sold at Rs 6d, and rapeseed brought 19s 6d to 08
also for 16 stone. Wheat, white, 22s 6d to 25s 6d;

CORK, AUG. I.
The supply of home grain is small, the receipts for the week
being only—wheat, 15 barrels • barley, 33 barrels ; oats, 326
'
barrels. Prices are unchanged. In foreign wheat the busi-
ness done has been on a retail scale, at about the rates of last
week. The stock of oats here are very trifling, and the trans-
actions passing very limited. We cannot quote any alteration
in the value of the article. The trade in flour is dull, and the
business passing confined altogether to the supply of the snore_
pressing wants of the bakers. A rather large importation of
American flour to hand this week, is not calculated to impart
much buoyancy to a market already sufficiently depressed. The
abundant supply of potatoes interferes materially with the sale
of coarse flours, which are consequently in but small demand'
Indian corn is seriously affected from the same cause, and the
tendency of the article is daily downward. In the present
state of the market it is difficult to give prices, but if we
quote them at 6/ lOs to 61 15s per ton, we think we are pretty
near the mark.

THE POTTERIES, JULY 30.—The contest between
the colliers and Fail Granville has not been arranged, but,
on the contrary, some other pits have stopped work. There
can, therefore, be no doubt that unless these difficulties be
settled early, that some of the master potters must also sus-
pend operations.
