LAMBETH.

John Williams, a coach painter and wheelwright, was
brought up on a summons charging him with neglecting
to maintain his three children.
The case, as represented, was one of considerable in-
justice towards the complainant, as well as cruelty to-
wards her unfortunate children. It appeared from the
statement of the complainant that about fifteen years ago
the defendant had married her sister, who did not long
survive, and two years after her d.,e.th he made proposals
to and married her. From the time cf 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 for her usual sti-
pend, he told her she bad no further claim on him; that
their marriage was not legal. In conclusion, the com-
plainant said that the defendant hadll left
four,r he with
A free
children, one Henry, aged seven, Ellen andd
oor womanthemarri stted that

she Ltd notd the slightest notion that aage was
illegal.
The defendant, when asked what ho 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-
fendant, and in doing so he regretted he could not
compel him to pay more than half-a-crown each. Mr.
Norton directed that an order for the payment of 7s. 6d.
a week, together with the expenses attending the
present proceedings, should he made out against the de-
fendant.

MANcriatrrza, Au.. 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 ld per 701 b. 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, Aua. 2.—Wheat must be quoted at about the
prices of last market day, viz., 17s to 18s per bag for white and
16s to 17s for red English. 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 33 4d to 3s 8d per bushel, distilling 3s 3d. English beans
from 4s 21 to 4s 6d per bushel, and foreign from 3s 10d to 4s
