house in Charles-street. Witness, who was anxious to
find out where he lived, walked their behind him, and
was looking up at the house, when the prisoner opened
the second floor window and emptied a chamber utensil
over him. Witness, assisted by another constable, then
entered the house, and went up stairs to the second
floor, where they found the prisoner at the door flourish-
ing a poker, and threatening that he would " smash"
them if they came near him. They succeeded in get-
ting the poker from him, and ultimately took him
to the station. Oa the way there the prisoner, who
had been previously very violent, said, " If you will take
your hands off I will go quietly," which witness did, but
it would seem only to give the prisoner an opportunity
of striking him. Not content with that, however, the
prisoner also knocked him down and kicked him dread-
fully on the shins.
Mr. HALL asked him what he had to say ?—The
prisoner denied having thrown the dirty water over the
officer.

Mr. HALL—WeII, what do you say to the assault?
Prisoner—lt's no use my saying anything, because my
word won't be taken against his; but it's all false what
he has been telling of yon.
The officer said he had once before been in custody,
and fined for an assault.
Mr. HALL sentenced him this time to 14 days' impri-
sonment in the House of Correetion.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THISDAY.)
ROBBERY.-George Macdonald was brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two glasses, the
property of Mr. John Gurton, licensed victualler, No.
10, Old Bond-street. The prosecutor deposed that on
Saturday afternoon he saw the prisoner go into his par-
lour, and in two or three minutes, having suspicion, he
went to the door and watched him, and saw him looking
at two ale glasses by the gas light. The prisoner then
put them into his coat pocket, and witness directly sent
for a constable. The prisoner then came to the bar and
called for a pint of porter. Witness told him to take
the glasses out of his pocket, which he did, and placed
them ou the counter, and begged of prosecutor to let
him go. Witness refused and gave him into custody.
Silke, 120 0, said he received charge of the prisoner
and the glasses now produced. On the way to the
station the prisoner said he took the glasseF, and he
did not know what could have pos:xl,sed him to do so.
A former conviction having been proved against the
prisoner, he was fully committed for trial.

WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY.)
Ann Gardener was charged with obtaining by false
pretences three valuable shawls and other property from
Mrs. Moore, of the Queen's household.
John Jennings, assistant to the prosecutrix, stated
Oat on Saturday morning the prisoner came to the shop
and said she was sent by Mrs. Moore, housekeeper to
the Queen, for some"•!shawls and boas, and that The was
to take them. He did not know a person of that name,
but served her with three shawls, valued at 41., and also
with some furs. He showed her a quantity, from which

she select,-,d three valued at nearly 30s. In the course of
the conversation, while servintr her, she stated that she
was a neice of Mrs. Moore, and they were excellent custo-
mers to the Louse; she requested that the articles 'night
be packed at once, but suspicion being excited they de-
clined to let her take the things, and they were sent by a
porter to the Palace, when it was discovered that no
person of the name of Moore was attached in any capa-
city to the Palace.
The prisoner in defence said that she was sent by a
person near the Palace whom she did not know.
Another person who was present said that sh© had
come to their shop under the same circumstances, but he
did not wish to press the charge.
Mr. BRODERIP remanded the prisoner for a week for
the production of fresh evidence.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.

Our letters from the leading provincial markets held
on Saturday state that the demand for both English and
foreign Wheats, the supplies of which were seasonably
extensive, ruled exceedingly heavy, at a further decline
in the quotations of is per quarter. Barley was again
lower to purchase, whilst the value of Malt, Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour had a downward tendency.
The latest advices from Now York represent the
Flour trade as somewhat active. In the Black Sea
ports several large purchases of Wheat have been
effected for shipment to England, whilst the Flour trade
in France is still active, but without any improvement
in value.

The arrivals of all English Grain up to our markot last
week were small; but upwards of 11,000 quarters of
Oats came to hand from Ireland. The imports from
abroad were large, viz., 23,114 quarters of Wheat, 6,452
Barley, 5,296 Oats, 420 Beans, 489 Peas, 2,336 Linseed,
432 Rapeseed, 50 sundry seeds, 3,342 sacks and 5,342
barrels Flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of
Wheat from Essex and Kent were very moderate, and
of but middling quality. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Cambridgeshire, &c., the supply per railway was
small, and greatly out of condition, arising in some mea-
sure from the long-prevailing damp weather. The
show of samples of both red and white was compara-
tively small, yet it was fully adequate tQ the wants of
the millers, whose attendance was limited; nevertheless
we may consider the trade steady, and a far clearance
was effected at prices equal to those of Monday last.
The number of offers from the east coast to ship
Wheat was on the increase; but we heard of very few
transactions for forward delivery, as both town and
country buyers still refuse to purchase beyond their im-
mediate wants.
We were more extensively supplied with fresh foreign
Wheat than for some weeks past, but the proportion of
really fine qualities fit for mixing was small. For all
kinds the demand was in a sluggish state, but we have
no change to notice in the currencies.
Five Barley was in improved request, at full prices.
In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little was
doing, and in some instances prices ruled the turn in
favour of the buyers.

Although the show of Malt ready for delivery was
trifling, that article moved oft' slowly at barely late rates.
The quantity of Oats being on the increase, the Oat
trade ruled dull, and damp parcels were a shade lower.
Beans—the supply of which was not large—met a
very dull inquiry, at barely late figures.
In Peas, next to nothing was doing; but we have no
actual fall to notice in their value.
Indian Corn was held at full prices.
A fair amount of business was doing both in English
and Foreign Flour, at last week's prices.
