MARYLEBOIVE.

Richard Richards, living at No. 3 Weir's, passage,
Somers-town, was charged before Mr. Long with having
stolen birds of Paradise and ostrich and other feathers to
the value of upwards of 2001., the property of Mr. Ad-
cock, plumassier, Prince's-street, Cavendish-square.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Adcock, that
on the night of the Bth ult., about ten o'clock, he locked
up a house adjoining, and, in fact, forming part of his
business premises; and on the morning of
Monday. the 10th ult., at seven o'clock, he found an
entry had been effected, and the above valuable pro-
perty carried off from the room in which it bad been de-
posited. On the floor of the room a dark lantern was found,
and it was clear there had been no forcing, and that
entrance must have been made with a false key. About
a fortnight atter he received an anonymous letter, ad-
vising him to offer a reward for the recovery of the
property. From some information that Mr. Adcock
had received from Mr. Elving, commission agent, 9.
Duke• street, Grosvenor-square, he went with that gen-
tlem,n and Inspector Jackson, D division, to the pit-
soner's lodgings to see a quantity of feathers the pri-
soner had offered to sell Mr. Elving (on the intro-
duction of a person named Scott), and for the
apparent purpose of purchasing them, if approved of.
The prisor-er, without hesitation, showed them, and
they found 26 bird of Paradise feathers. The prisoner,
askeel 604 for them ; and Mr. Adcock, being satisfied
that they were a portion of those stolen, gave him into
custody. R. mind dto Saturday next.

John Hackett, an active, powerful young man, de-
scribed b, the polio• as beirg the brother of the notori.
us Wiltiam Hackett, wrose adroit escape from the
Pentonville Model Prison excited so much public atten-
tion about six or eight months ago, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Ilttmwil, charged upon suspicion of having
been concerned with others not in custody in stealing
three bales of silk or the value of 1131., the nominal pro-
perty of Mr. John Pope, a lighterm ,n and carrier, ice
Harp-lane, Fenchutch-stri- et.
It we, intimated by Sergeant Teakle, who appre-
hended the prisoner, aid deserved great en dit for his
adroitness and determination, that it au opportunity were
given him he should be able on a future occasio❑ to ad-
duce evidence of a very conclusive character to fix the
charge upon the accused, and he was ordered to be
brought up again in a week.

- CLERKENWELL.
The neighbourhood of Islington and Hornsey was
painfully excited on Saturday, in consequence of a re-
port that a young lady had been outraged in a barbarous
manner by a villain who had attempted her life in Horn-
sey-wood, and that he had been apprehended and lodged
in the station-house of the district, and was to be exa-
mined before the magistrate of Clerkenwell-court.
Long before the opening of the justice-room crowds
had collected in the vicinity, and when the prisoner was
brought in it was instantly excessively crowded. The
accused, a well-dressed fellow, stated his name to
be James Noble, otherwise Thomas Spurrier, and
the prosecutrix, was Miss Saran Elizabeth Brown,
18 years old, of No. 6, Annett's• place, Bali's-
pond. She seemed terrorstricken and nearly fainted
away. On being sworn she deposed that she was on
a visit to her sister, and on the previous afternoon
she took a walk in Hornsey- wood, where she observed
the prisoner with another man. She lost sight of them
for some time, when suddenly the accused emerged from
a thicket behind her, and gave her a violent blow under
the right ear, which caused her to stagger, and, on turn-
ing round, he gave her another blow on the left eye,
which caused her to fall. The rufa❑ then threw him-
self upon her, with his knees on her stomach, and,
holding her tightly by the throat by one hand, struck
her several violent blows on the face and other parts of
her person, from which blood flowed abundantly. She
screamed, and called out " Murder," the prisoner all the
time endeavouring to raise her clothes and conducting
himself otherwise in a manner not fit for publication,
She effectually resisted his base design, although he
pulled out a knife and attempted to cut her throat,
saying he would have her d-- head off unless she con-
sented to his doing what he liked with her. Her
cries at length brought assistance, and the prisoner,
after a most desperate resistance, was eventually
captured.

Reesby, a butcher, said he was attracted by
cries of " Murder," and screams. He found the prisoner
and prosecutrix struggling on the ground. The accused,
on seeing him, endeavoured to escape, but was laid hold
of by witness, when a most terrible struggle ensued be-
tween them, the prisoner catching hold of his necker-
chief and attempting to strangle him, which no doubt
he would have done, as he (witness) became taint and
exhausted, when luckily a young [aim named 'Moseley
came to his rescue, and they kept him down until the
arrival of a pulice•constable, the prisoner struggling
desperately and wounding them with a knife.
Mr. Moseley and the officer, having given corrobora-
tive evidence, the prosecutrix was recalled, and, in an
ewer to the magistrate, said, that before the thrnstable
came up, she saw the prisoner throw tha knife into the
wood. It was a white-handled one, silver mounted. She
was cer: ain she must have been murdered had it not been
for the brave and courageous conduct of the witnesses.
The prisoner kicked and beat her in a most awful man-
ner, and she was suffering very much, and under medical
treatment.

A certificate was here handed to the magistrate, bear-
ing the signature of a surgeon, who described the prose-
cuirix to have been grievously maltreated, and that it
would be a long time before she could recover, as her
system had received a ♦ery severe shock indeed. While
giving her evidence she was deeply affected, and several
times burst into tears.

The witnpsses who secured the prisoner said, that
when he found out that further resistance was of no use,
he offered them all the money he had about him to allow
him to escap, , and because they refused, called them vile
names, ♦owing he would some day or other be the death
of them.

The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, coolly
said—" I deny having had or thrown away a knife, and
I shall say no more."

He was fully committed to Newgate for trial, and the
witnesses were bound over to prosecute.
The magistrate highly complimented the young men
Reesby and Moseley for their brave and humane inter-
ference. They were deserving of a reward, and he pre-
sented each of them with 10s.
They thanked the Court, observing they had only
done their duty, and were happy to have had it in their
power.

The prisoner wag then removed to Newgate, and Miss
Brown, with her sister, was conveyed home in a cab.

E COUNTRY MARKETS.
LAY !meow, JULY 25.—T0-day prices are firm, but remain
unchanged.
MANCHESTER, JULY 26.—During the week the weather
for the most part was showery and unsettled, with a rather
cool temperature. The trade since our last report has under-
gone little or no change, the demand for all articles being on a
very limited scale, and on flour buyers have had the turn of
prices in their favour. From Ireland and our own coast the
arrivals into Liverpool and Runcorn are extremely light, and
from abroad the imports this week (with the exception of
wheat which are to a fair amount) are only to a moderate ex-
tent. Our market this morning was exceedingly quiet, but in
the value of wheat no change was observable. Flour met a
very slow sale, and barely supported the previous currency.
Oats were likewise rather cheaper, but oatmeal, continuing in
very short supply, realised fully late rates.
In the neighbourhood of Sudbury the heavy rains have laid
extensive breadths of wheat, which are likely to be much in-
jured by it, and at the market on Thursday this produced much
firmness, the farmers being indisposed to sell unless at an ad-
vanced rate.

In Suffolk the markets have been scantily supplied.
At Hadleigh scarcely anything but wheat was offered, and
the trade for this was dull.
At Bury the trade was by no means active, but late quota-
tions were supported.
At Woodbridge inferior qualities declined 6d to is per quarter.
Oats were dearer.
At Stowmarket on Thursday there Wag a moderate supply
of wheat, which was taken off at late quotations.
NOTTINGHAM, JULY 26.—During the past week rain has
continued almost daily, and but few farmers in the more back-
ward districts who have their hay down have yet been enabled
to lead it, consequently much of it is spoiled. There was a
fair supply of wheat from the growers to-day, but the millers
bought very cautiously, and last week's prices 'could not be ex-
ceeded. Grinding barley slow sale at late prices. Oats were
le per quarter lower, with a very limited demand. Beans un-
altered in value.
WORCISTER, JULY 26.—Souse heavy rains this week in
different part of the country, and high winds have in many
places beaten down the corn
crops, now heavy with the swell-
ing grain. The rain has been very serviceable in reviving the
green crops, but the wheat can do well without moisture until
harvest. At our market to-day prices were well supported,
although millers purchased with caution. English white
wheat sold at 16s to 17s per bag of three bushels ; and red, 15s
to 163 per bag. Malting barley in moderate request at 3s 6d
to 3s 8d per imperial bushel ; distilling, 3s 4d to 3s 6d. New
English beans, 4s 4d to 4s &i per bushel ; old, 4s 8d to 5s per
bushel; foreign as before. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s 9d
per 391 b ; new, 3s 3d to 3s 6d ; and Irish, from 3s to 3s 3d per
bushel. Peas sold slowly at from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per bushel.
On the whole the market was dull.
At Stourbridge and Stratford-on-Avon corn markets on
Friday the same dullness was observable, and business was
only transacted on a limited scale.
At Wolverhampton there was a moderate supply of wheat
from the farmers, but millers bought very cautiously; the
prices of last week were not exceeded in toy sales. English
wheat brought iBs to 18s 6d per bag for white, and 16e to 17s
for red, 1961 b net. Barley for grinding in full request, at 26s
per 3911 b ; malting qualities little inquired for. Old English
beans a dull sale at 13s 6d ; new English, 12s to 12s 6d; and
French, 12s per 1961 b Oats were disposed of at rather less
money, the rates being, English, 25s to 265; Irish, 2ls to 231 ;
and French, 201 to 21, per 3 121 b.
At Atherstone there was a fair show of wheat, which met
with a fair sale at former prices. Wheat, 17s to 17s cd per
bag of three bushels Barley sold at from 27 to 30s per quarter.
Oats from 26s to 28s per quarter.
GLASGOW CATTLI. 111AHMET, JULY 24.—At our market
to-day the numbers were—sheep, 1,923 ; lambs, 5,149 ; oxen,
597. Owing to the large supply of cattle, and the unfavour-
able state of the weather for slaughtering, sales were very
slowly effected at barely last week's prices. Best ox beef
brought 4s per cwt, current 425, cows 36s to 403 per cwt.
A great many turned out unsold. Sheep moved off slowly at
less than last week's prices. Best aged wethers sid, current
sd, inferior 4d to 4d per lb; mostly all sold. Lambs sold well
—best 21s each, current 12s to 14s, a few Small ones, 7s to tie.

DUBLIN, JULY 25.—We continue to have favourable
weather, and a dull market for all descriptions of grain, with-
out alteration in price. Wheat, white, 22s 6d to 25s 6d;
red ditto, 21s 6d to 24s 6d; barley, Os Od to Os Od; oats,
per barrel, 12s Od to 13s 6d; rape-seed, 19s to 00s od ;
oatmeal, 12s Od to 13s Od ; bakers' flour, per cwt, 12s Od to
14s ; Indian corn, per 480Ib, 27s to 29s 6d.
CORK, JULY 25.

The trade here remains in a very dull state, and unless bad
weather should come to cause an improvement, we see no pro-
spect of any immediate reaction. We continue to receive
supplies of grain from abroad.—The receipts •f home grain,
however, are very trifling, the supply for the week being, of
wheat 6 barrels, oats 423 barrels. The business passing in
wheat is on the :most retail scale, but we have no change to
notice in prices. Some small transactions have taken place in
oats at late rates. The tendency, however, is to lower prices.
The trade in flour continues very dull, and it is difficult to make
sales of the article, except where the wants of the bakers com-
pel them to become purchasers. Even then, too, they confine
themselves to the supply of their more pressing necessities.
We observe no change in the value of the article, but, as with
oats, the tendency is downwards. Indian corn, owing to the
liberal supply of good potatoes, is in very little demand, aad the
must quote the article a very dull sale at declining rates.
