BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Our market is firmer than nor s,,me tune past, but the
demand was chiefly upon middling qualities. In prices
we have no material change to notice. Factors' prices,
viz., ready money—East Kent pockets, per cwt 31 12s
to 6/ Os; ditto bags, 314 s to 51 57; Mid Kent pockets,
2155 to 51 105; ditto bags, 21 to 4/ 53; Weald of Kent
Pockets, 3/ to Si 18s; ditto bags, 21 to 31 8,:; Sussex
peckers, 21 145 to 31 12s.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has ruled
rather dull, owing to the heavy suppli-s of Est
but holders have not pressed sales, and hence prices have
beva fairly supported. At auction, B:rbadoes fine yel-
low realised 43s 6d to 44i 6d, and mid to good 41s 6d
to 435. Demerara went rather cheaper; good yellow 39s

FORElGN.—Havannah bas been held for full rates.
CCFFEE.—The demand for all descriptions hat been
very dull. Plantation Ceylon has been 2s to 33 lower

difficult. Mid has been sold at 566 to 626 for the low to the
better kindg, good to fine 63sto 70s, pea berry 553 to 595,
and triage 46: tos7s per cwt. Native real and good ord

packages which passed auctions about 2,500 were sold,
teemed orange Pekoe being id per lb lower.
COTTON.—At public sale 8,100 bales Surat and 400
bags Madras were put up, but a large proportion were

new yellow Caudle tins realised 37s 6d to 37s 9d per
cwt on the spot.
GREEN FRIIIT.—There is not so much activity in the
market, which is the usual feature after the Christmas
holidays. Two cargoes Oranges, from St. Michael's,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, went at a slight reduction
from the price of last week. Lemons are in demand,
and some holders refuse to sell at present rates. This
stock of Chettnuts is unusually large, and they are sell-
!ng at a loss to the importers. Barcelona bare improved
In price, in consequence of the invoice coming higher.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT:
(Bei( re the Lord Chief Baron Pou.oca and Mr. Justice

TALFOURD.)
SERIOUS ASSAULT.—George Hopwood and Amelia
lioptoot,d, two young persons, man and wife, surrendered
to take their trial on an indictment charging them with
itn aM ggravated assault upon one Jane Parnell.
r. Robinson conducted the ease for the prosecution,
and the prisoners were defended by Mr. Parry.
Ed ward 11'Coulett, a police-constable, said about seven
o'clock on the evening of 2cl December he was on duty
In the Bethnal-green. road. In consequence of informa-
tion he had received he went to 18, Ramsay-street,
Bethnal-green, and found Jane Parnell in bed, with a
handkerchief round her neck and a bandage about her
chin, and in a very excited state. In consequence of in-
formation he there received he went and took the female
epaoner into custody at 34, Ann's-place, Bethnal-green.
tie told the female prisoner he wanted her for
cutting a woman's throat. She said she had
1105 been out. Witness took her into custody
and to the place where the wounded woman lay, to
enable the latter to identify her. The female prisoner
at first refused to go, but witness forced her there.
''hen there, Jane Parnell, the injured woman, identified
the female prisoner as having inflicted the injury upon
her, Witness then took the female prisoner to the
station, and when there the male prisoner came in, and
another person having pointed him out as having been
engaged in the assault, he was taken into custody.
S.irah Darn said she saw Jane Parnell on the 2d De.
nember. Left her at work on that evening in a weaver's
shop in Abbey-street, Bethnal-green. Witness the*
went home to her own house in Ramsay-street, and
whilst she was standing at her own door she saw a man
and two women struggling, one of whom was the fe-
male prisoner, but witness could not say who was the
near- After some struggling the man and the female
prisoner left, and Mrs. Parnell came into witness's room
and fell into her arms, saying, "
.011, Sarah, Mrs. Hop-
wood has oat my throat." Her throat was cut, and also
her
cl in. Witness thereupon sent for a medical man,
sad alto a policeman. Witness afterwards went with
tht Po is man to the prisoner's house, and pointed out
the female prisoner to him.
Cross-examined—Witness did not hear Mrs. Parnell
scream out. They v, ere not struggling together. Mrs.
Parnell at one time lived with the male prisoner, and
after that he became reconciled to his wife, the female
prisoner.

Jane Parnell said—l am the wife of James Parnell,
who is now at sea. At one time I u_habited with the
male prisoner about four or five months. I have been
married four years, and I am now twenty-aix years of
sge. On the evening of the 2d December, between six
and seven o'cicek, I was going along Ramsay-street.
I had cone from Bale-street. When I was in Ramsay-
street, I was attacked by a man and woman, both wear-
ing musks. The man put his hand across my mouth.
I etruggled with them sometime, when I felt some in-
.strument drawn across my neck, and I fell. By the
akin of the woman's dress I raised myself
UP. All this time the man's hand was upon my mouth.
I strntgled again with the prisoners, when the female
Greg an instrument across my throat again. While the
struggle was going on the mask fell off the woman,
whom I saw to be the prisoner. The man threw me
for,ihly down and then ran away. The instrument was
used taico altogether during the struggle. The womin
r;111 away along with tho man. I then got up and want
into Mrs. Darn's house. lam not able to say who the
Dian wag. _ _

Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—I had not on 'he
Saturday previous been to the male prisoner's house.
Both the female prisoner and I are at present held to
bail to keep lho
the f peace towards each other. I charged
'rnt A prisoner with cutting my forehead before the
magistrates. I used to live with the male prisoner. I

Rua d Anderson, but I do not do so now. Since Hop-
wood left me he has been living with his wife, the female
Prisoner, for three months. On this struggle I did not
cell out murder or police; I was prevented from doing
B_9 by the man's hand being on my throat. I was some
Tze inaenaible after the affray took place. I was con-
nned a week from the wound I received.
r34;jaraill Bail—l am a surgeon in Waterloo New

Town. I was called in to sea Jane Parnell on the even.
ing ef the 2d December last, between six and seven
o'clock at 18, Ramsey-street. She was lying in Led iu a
front room down stairs. Her neck was covered with
blood, and half her dress was sprinkled with it. I found
three distinct incisions parallel to each other en her
throat. The incisions penetrated the skin, and were
made right across the throat. There was no injury Le-
-1 yond skin deep. The wounds were clean cut. Weavers
have a sharp instrument which they use in
cutting velvet, but which is so protected that it
will only cut a certain small depth; and those wounds
appeared to have beenkinflicted.with such an instrument.
It must have been --wed three times to produce the
wounds on the prosecutrix's neck. The necklace was
as near as possible over the wound, and I believe the
necklace had protected the neck to a certain extent.
Cross-examined—The proseeutrix was insensible when
I first saw her. I don't thitk the wounds could have
been inflicted by the woman herself.
Henry flogan proved that on the night inquestion he
saw the prosecutrix runniug, away, and. Ihrritwo priso-
ners following her; biehedia not sob the assault.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the prisoners,
corterding that this was a wicked conspiracy, which
had keen formed between the prosecutrix, Mrs. Parnell,
and Mrs. Daru, the object of which was to get rid of the
unfortunate women at the bar, so as to prevail upon the
male prisoner to return and live with Mrs. Parnell, a
profligate woman. The Learned Counsel then called

Fre—derick Field, who said he worked for the male
prisoner, and lodged in the same house. The prisoner
is a back-gammon board maker. Remembered the night
on which the prisoners were taken into custody on this
charge. Witness had been working with the male pri-
soner that day. The male prisoner's residence was
about a mile and a half from Ramsay-strect, where
the assault took place. The prisoners and witness had
been working with witness the whole of that day,
until the police came. Witness did not leave
the house that day except to get his dinner and
tee. Returned from tea about half• past four, and from
that time to the time when the police called the male
prisoner never left the house. The female prisoner was
not out that day later than a few minutes after four
o'clock in the afternoon. The prisoners were both in
the house from a little after four o'clock until between
eight and nine, when the policemen came in.
Mrs. Field, wife of the last witness, gave similar evi-
dence.

Edward Hopwood, a brother of the male prisoner, cor-
roborated the evidence of the preceding witnesses.
Mary Ann Dormer said her husband occupied part
of the house in Ramsay-street, where Mrs. Darn lives.
About half-past six ou the evening in question witness
heard her (witness's) name called, and went into the street,
but saw no one. As she was going up stairs, heard
Mrs. Darn unlock the door and invite her ia. Wit-
ness went in and saw hire. Parnell there. Sbe
was lying on the floor with her head near
the bedstead. Mrs. Darn said some one had cut her
(Mrs. Parnell's) throat. Mrs. Darn then went for a
doctor, and witness looked at Mrs. Parnell's throat.
Two men came in and put her in the bed, and she said
" George Hopwood, George Hopwood, I have done him
no harm. "W he nthe police came she said she could
swear to the woman but not to the man. On returning
from the police-court, Mrs. Darn, who was a little in
liquor, said, " I want to see Mrv. Parnell, so that her
tale may correspond with mine."
Harriet Bradley, residing at 46, Clare• street, Bethnal-
green, deposed that Mrs. Darn said to her that on the
night in question she heard nothing of the affray until
Mrs. Parnell came in, and said George Hopwood had
cut her throat, though she (Mrs. Darn) was standing at
the door.

Mr. Ct CKLE replied on the evidence adduced on be-
half of the prisoner, with a view t.-) prove an alibi, con-
tending that the jury could not wholly ignore the fact
that an injury had been inflicted on Mrs. Parnell, the
prosecutrix, r•Jid that, if they believed the testimony
of the medical gentleman celled on the part of the prose-
cution, that injury could not have been self-inflicted.
The LORD CHIEF BARON was then proceeding to sum
up, when
The jury intimated that they had come to the con-
clusion that the prisoner was Not Guilty.
Jane Parnell, the woman Darn, and Henry Hope,
were then by order of the Court taken into custody tor
rojury.

IVE W GUUI(7'.

Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman

LAWRANCE.)
BURGLARY.—A German, named Ghrosz, was indicted
for burglariously entering the dwelling house of Adam
Greek, and stealing therein a quantity of cachmere and
other property.
The prosecutor, a dealer in silks, shawls, &c., who id
also a German, resides in Union.street, Whitechapel,
and on the night of the 27th of a cember, he saw that
all his shutters and doors were made f.st before retiring
to rest. Between four and five o'clock the next morning
the prisoner was seen with the stolen cashmere, within
a stone's-throw of the prosecutor's residence; but there
was something strange about his manner, which induced
those who observed him to call out fur the police, and
the prisoner upon hearing this, took to his heels, leaving
the booty behind him. It was afterwards discovered
that the property had been stolen from the prosecutor's
shop, and upon the appearance of the thief being des-
cribed, the prosecutor at once recognised it as that of
the prisoner, who had been in his employ. Information
of the burglary was, therefore, given to the police, and
eventually the prisoner was traced to a lodging-house in
the neighbourhood of Whitechapel.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied having committed
the robbery. lle was well off, having plenty of money
and a good house, and it was quite preposterous to sup-
pose that he would engage in u burglary out of covetous-
ness. The fact was, the tables ought to be turned upon
the two men who said they saw him with the property,
for it was he who discovered them with it, and they
wished to protect themselves by throwing the robbery
upon his shoulders.

The jury convicted the prisoner of simple larceny
only, mud the Court sentenced him to twelvemonths'
imprisonment.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT
(THIS DAY.)

CARDINAL WISEMAN AND HIS LANDLORD,-FILDER V.

WISEBIAN.

Since the establishment of the County Courts no case
has excited greater interest than the above. A report
having got abroad that the Cardinal himself would
appear in the defendant's box, the court was crammed to
suffocation.

It was an action brought to recover 33/. 6a. 6d. by
the plaintiff, a gentleman residing at Bexhill, Sussex,
for, as the instructions stated, " You having taken cer-
tain premises and left without paying the rent, or for
any of the damage done; and all your effects having
been taken away, and you being about to quit the king-
dom, expenses in following you to London to obtain
payment; two bushels of coals left in the house, and not
repaid on quitting as promised; damage done to water-
closet, doors, windows, &c., bottles cracked, breaking
bell-ropes and nine pendulums off; injurivg strawberry-
beds, and an extinguisher taken away," &c. In fact,
the bill of particulars of demand would leave one to
imagine that the Archbishop of Westminster must have
b: ea very unmindful ot his landlord's property, for the
various items ot damage sustained relate to almost every
ute►:sil in the house.

Upon the cause appearing in its turn, it was intimated
that the plaintiff and defendant had elected to have the
claim settled by arbitration, and consequently, much to
the chagrin of a County Court audience, his Eminence
did not appear.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.—VISITS OF ARTISANS.—The
following is the answer which has been returned by the Exe-
cutive Committee to persons requesting to know whether the
Royal Commissioners undertake to find lodgings for artisans
coming to see the Exhibition :
" Office for the Executive Committee, Exhibition-
building, Hyde-park, 1851.
" Sir,—ln answer to your letter on the subject of lodgings
in London for artisans during the period of the Exhibition,
I am directed by the Executive Committee to inform you
that the Royal Commissioners do not intend to undertake to
find lodgings for persons visiting the Exhibition, or to inter-
fere with individual enterprise.
" The Executive Committee recommend that you should
employ some London agent to secure for you the lodging;
you require, and the committee will be ready to afford your
agent every information in their power.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" M. DIQBY WYATT, Secretary."
THE DEATH AT PECKHAM LUNATIC ASYLUM.--
The inquest on the body of Barnes, the pauper lanatic, was
resumed and concluded yesterday. Mr. Under-Sheriff Law
and Mr. Bennett were again in attendance. According to
the evidence adduced, the deceased " seemed to be going
off—getting very thin, as if he was in a decline ;" hut his
death at the time when it did occur was caused by violence.
His arm was found to be broken and bruised, and there were
other injuries. The attendant stated that he did not know
how they occurred. He was told that the lunatic said it was
he (the attendant) who had done these injuries to him. The
attendant's reply was, "It is quite false." It was proposed
to examine a patient, Donnelly, who was rational in com-
mon conversation, but laboured under certain fancies and
delusions, and was a decided lunatic. It was stated that his
account agreed with that of other patients; but the coroner
being told that Donnelly could not be considered a responsible
agent if he violated the law, would not allow his evidence to
be received. The medical evidence attributed the death to
violence most distinctly; and the jury returned a verdict of
" Manslaughter against some person or persons unknown!'
SOMETHING LIKE A STORM.—Letters from St.
Petersburgh of the 25th ult. say that on the 3d of October a
terrible tempest broke out at Kirgis, where the horde of
Korin generally establishes its camps, and 168 persons were
killed, as also were 205,600 sheep,• 1,292 horses, 490 camels,
and MO oxen. During eight days the soil was covered with
snow to the depth of 5i yards.— Calignani's -Messenger.

WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS.—ConsiderabIe pro-
gress has been made by the Commissioners of the Westmin-
ster Improvements in the construction of the new street, to
be called Victoria-street, which will extend from the Vaux-
hall-bridge-road to Westminster Abbey. For some weeks
past bricklayers have been employed in forming, on the
north and south sides of the street, the cellars for the new
houses, which are nearly all completed. 'the formation of
the roadway and the footpath will be soon commenced. The
houses will be of the second class, and the street about 50
feat in width. At the west end, adjoining the Westminster
Prison, a row of splendid edifices has been built. In the
ne'ghbourhood of the new street, at the east end, are the
baths and washhouses erected by the vestry of the united
parishes of St. Margaret and St. John at a cost of about
15,0',01. They are almost finished, and are expected to be
opened in the course of the spring for the benefit of the poor
optlutnhgaitngdisbtartihets., There will be on the premises two large
about 60 warm and cold bathe, with ironing
and washing departments.
If present good is round thee, it may be well to
look for change, but to trust is a continuance is Letter,.
Eliza Cook's Journal.

The Earl of Cotteaba,tt, we regret to state, was,
according to the latest accounts, still in very indifferent
health at La Valetta, Malta. Lord Crowliurst, the Noble
Lord's eldest son, has arrived at Dresden.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED.)
WILLOUGHBY'S ILLUSTRATED STAND-
ARD EDITION OF THE COMPLETE
WORKS OF SHAKSPERE. Published un-
der the Superintendence of Samuel Phelps, E.sq.,.of
the Theatre Royal Sadler's Wells. Part I.
This, the first part of this new edition of Shakspere,
consists of the Tempest complete, and is illustrated
by a wood engraving of the scene between Stepbano,
Trinculo, Caliban, and Ariel in the second act, and
by a portrait of Shakspere, supported by Melpomene
and Tnalia. This may be properly termed the
eclectic edition of Shakspere, great pains having been
taken to secure the purity of the text, while the notes
give the opinions of Knight, Dyce, Payne Collier,
Halliwell, and all the later commentators on disputed
or obscure passages.
