BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 16.—At Gloucester and Worcester
nnrkets on the 11th English wheat, being in short supply,
was firmly held for an advance of is per quarter, and
realized on what changed hands, though paid with much
reluctance by the buyers. Barley unaltered. Oats 6d
per quarter lower. Beans could only be sold by sub•
mitting to a similar decline; and on peas the turn was in
favour of the buyer. During the present week the trade
has ruled dull for all descriptions of wheat, but lower
prices have not been submitted to. Barley taken in
limited quantities at former prices. We have a fair con-
aumptive demand for oats at our quotations; and the
same remark applies to beans and peas. At this day's
market, although the supply of wheat was not large, a
reduction of 6d to is per quarter was generally submitted
to on the sales made. Barley maintained former prices.
Not much doing in oats. Wo had a fair consumptive
demand for beaus at the rate of this day se'nnight. Peas
less inquired for.
WAKEFIELD, OCT. 17.—We have a good supply of
most articles. There is a full attendance of the trade,
and a fair demand for wheat, but the rates of last week
are not supported; we note the decline about is per qr.
Fine malting barley brings full prices, grinding and
secondary qualities firm in value. In cats, shelling, or
beans no alteration.

LIVERPOOL, OCT 17.—The imports of grain and flour
since Tuesday was quite trifling; there has not been a
bushel of whest from foreign ports, and only 8,434
barrels and 740 sacks of flour. The exchange this
morning was slenderly attended, and the business in any
article was very moderate. All qualities of wheat were
Id per bushel, and American flour 3d to 6d per barrel
lower than on Tuesday. Indian corn was steady, full
prices being exacted. Egyptian beans were a trifle
easier today, but peas were scarce and rather dearer.
Oats, oatmeal, and barley were unaltered in value.
NEWBURY, OCT. 16.—T0-day being the large hiring
fair, the trade in grain has been much interfered with.
Our supply rather exceeds what we usually have on
those occasions, and the demand is tolerably brisk, at
fully the advanced rates of last week, with a fair clear-
ance effected. Barley a moderate supply; fine malting
must be noted Is per quarter dearer, and other sorts in
good request at rather improving rates. Beans a large
supply, and exceedingly dull sale at barely late rates.
Peas and oats moderate supply, and slow sale at last
week's prices.
EXETER, OCT. 17.—Cattle—The supply of every de-
scription of beasts was very large, and prices were
much the same as last week. Fat beef sold at from 7s
ad to is 9d per score. Cows and Calves were from 71
is to 131; steers, 11l to 18/ per pair; butchers' calves,
4d to 4id per lb; barrenness, from 4d to 5d per score.
Sheep—Wethers, 4d to 4id per lb; ewes, 4d to 44d;
lambs, scl to 6d per score. Pork Carcases—The sup-
ply good, at less prices than last week—from 6s 6d to
7s 3d per score Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s each;
geese, 43 to 5s 6tl; ducks, 3s 6d to 53 per couple; fowls,
2s 6d to 33 6d; pheasants, 5s toso 6cl per brace; par-
tridges, 2s 61 to 3s; hares, 2s 6d to 3s each; rabbits,
10d to Is; butter, lld to is per lb; eggs, 14d to 16d for
Is; roasters, 3s fiti to 5s each. Wool—The top price
for this article is 71d per lb. Corn Exchange—The
market to-day was tolerably attended, and several lots
changed hands. The tendency of prices was upwards.
Best samples of wheat sold at 51 per bushel, but there
were some very good lots sold at 4s 9d. Barley was
dull—prices ranging from 3s to 3s 3d; oats, from 2s 2d
to 2s 4d per bushel. Fine flour, 28. per sack.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 17.—There has been
more inquiry for raw sugars since our last, and as soon
as the market is better supplied with samples than it
has been of late, it is probable that business to some
extent may be looked for, as the stocks of the refiners
are getting low. Refined continues to meet a steady
sale, and prices are rather stiffer. Rum is without im-
provement, either in demand or rating.—Bristol Mercury.
SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 16.—New wheat 37s Od to 39s 0a;
old ditto 39s to 41s per qr. of 40 stones; new oats 9d to

Mr. Lee, who was accompanied by Mr. Lewes, a
master baker in the neighbourhood, who has actively
assisted in aiding Mr. Lee in his work of charity,
expressed his thanks to the magistrate for his kind-
ness and attention, and before leaving the court re-
marked that the object of the committee would be
powerfully aided if the bankers of the metropolis
would kindly receive subscriptions, and under the
distressing circumstances be trusted they would.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Bailey, was charged with having violently as-
saulted end threatened the life of his father, Mr.
Thomas Bailey, landlord of the Halifax Arms, Mile-end
Old-town.
The complainant stated that in consequence of the in-
temperate habits and ioloat conduct of the prisoner bo
was kept in a state of constant terror, and had more
then once been compelled to place himself under the
protection of the police. On the preceding evening the
prisoner returned home in a state of intoxication, and
after assailing him with the most scurrilous epithets,
went down upon his knees and declared with a horrid
oath that he would murder him before the night was
over. -;Witness took refuge in the taproom, but was fol-
lowed there by the prisoner, who held in his hand a
glass of beer, and after dashing the contents in his face
hurled the glass at his head, which grazed his temple in
passing, end was smashed to pieces against the opposite
wall. The prisoner then pulled out a knife and made a
desperate stab at him, which must have been attended
with fatal conassuences but for the interference of One
of his customers, Who arrested his arm in its descent,
and, after a severe struggle, succeeded in securing him
until the arrival of a policeman, when be was taken
into custody.
In answer to the charge the prisoner declared that hie
father had attacked him in the first instance with a lile-
preserver, and that he had merely acted in self-defence;
but the complainant and other witnesses, who were
called back and requestioned, gave an emphatic negative
