POLICE I NTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

2fIA.NSION-HOUSE.

' Till CITY AUTE 'ORITIES AND 'rpm FRUIT-SELLERS.
.ffonorak _Donovan, an old Irishwoman, who earns a
living by selling fi uit in the streets, was charged be-
fore Alderman Carte r with obstructing the footpath in
Charlotte-street, Man lion-house. The defendant was
lc.cked up every day las,t week for a similar offence, and
when brought before the Lord Mayor she was on each occa-
sion discharged, his lordship considering the police carried
out the instructions of the C. )mmissioners of Police for
the City iv too harsh a manner with reference to these
poor people.
Police constable 416 depos ed that he saw the defendant
in Charlotte-street, on Saturday, selling fruit. She
obstructed the footpath, and. he desired her to move on,
but she refused. A large ,crowd congregated around
them, and he was obliged to take her into custody, and
lock her up. He acted in amcordance with the instruc-
tions of the City Commission ers of Police.

The defendant said she had been accustomed to I,ell fruit
for years at the corner of the street, and highly eulogised
the late Lord Mayor Gibbs, the Lord bless his soul,
and Mr. Hobler, by whose kindness she was allowed
to sell fruit there for upwards of 15 years. The fact
was well known to the honourable Mr. Goodman.

Mr. Goodman (chief clerk) said he wondered she was,
not ashamed to mention his name on consideration of
her conduct. He had been twice to the Commissioners
of Police for permission for her to have a standing at the
Mansion-hobse, but it was refused.
Mr. Alderman Carter—When you told her to move
on did you behave harshly towards her.
Policeman—No.

Defendant—Yes, you did ; you tore my dress, and
dug your nails in my arm.

Mr. Alderman Carter—lf she had moved on that
would have been sufficient for you.
Policeman—Yee.

Mr. Alderman Carter (to defendant)—l shall insist
on your moving on. You have been locked up since
Saturday.

Defendant—l've been locked up every day for a
week. (Laughter.)

Mr. Alderman Carter—lf you are brought before
me within the next month

Defendant—lf you let me go, they'll bring me up
again to-morrow. (Laughter.) I ',Just sell my fruit.

Mr. Goodman—Not if you do n( it obstruct the road
or pathway.

Dafendant—(to the Alderman)—lf you knew the oath
he (the policeman) has taken you would not believe
your own fa, her ;by G—d you wo. ildn't. (Laughter.)
Mr, Alderman Carter—lf you co me here again I shall
send you to prison.

Defendant—l can't help it, your honour. May I
take my fruit sling and my basket and sell it if I keep

Mr. Alderman Carter—Yes.
Defendant—Thanks, your honour.
The defendant, after being cautioned, was discharged .

Ma.RKET NEM, —crhis Day )

CORN EXCHA .NGE.
Nara.ly the whole of the pray mcial markets held on
Saturday were but moderately supplied with
_wheat, in
wh',ch only a limited business -was transacted. In some
in stances prices were in favour of buyers. Barley moved
off heavily at droopitig current, ies. All other grain ruled
about stationary.

The continental markets are rather dull and drooping,
From the United States, the shipments of produce con.
tinu e seasonably large.

Up to our markets last week the 'Arrivals of English grain
were small. From abroad we receiveid 15,544 quarters of
wheat, 2,537 barley, 18,203 oats, 1, 907 peas, 5,455 linseed,
1,339 rapeseed, 59 mustard seed, 'i,325 sundry seeds, and
6,831 barrels of flour.

The supply of wheat received fresh up to our market to-
day from Esma was small, ar the receipts from Kent,
Cambridgeshire, &c., were very moderate. The general
condition of the supply was by no means first-rate. The
attendance of both town and country was far from nume-
rous, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce was much les% active than on Monday last. In prices,
however, compared wit's that day, very little change took
place. At the .dose of business inferior wheats were cer-
tainly the turn in favo'ir of buyers.
There was only a ~uoderate show of foreign wheat for
the time of year. Russian parcels were steady, at full
quotation's, In all other kinds only a limited business
was tra'asacted, at last week's currency.
Flo•Ating cargoes of grain were less active.
Tie finest samples of barley were held at last week's
gr‘otations ; but other kinds were very dull, and quite 2s.
per quarter cheaper.
Malt met a slow sale, but no change took place in the
quotations.

. The supply of oats was moderate. Most kinds mot a
fair demand at last week's prices.
Beans and peas were in short supply, and fair request,
on former terms.

The flour trade was steady. In the quotations very little
change took place. The quantity of foreign flour here is
trifling.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were

8,791; in 1853, 13,238 ; in 1852, 12,039; in 1851, 10,404 ;

There is no improvement to notice in the general quality
of the stock, yet sales are readily made by the salesmen.
The imports are expected to be liberal during the next two
or three months.

The receipts of home-fed beasts fresh up to-day were
seesonably good as to number, but somewhat deficient in
quality. The attendance of butchers was moderately ex-
tensive. For most breeds the demand, however, was by
no means so active as on Friday, on which day the quota-
tions advanced 2d per 81bs. ; nevertheless, prices generally
were mostly supported. The top figure for the best Scots,
which were unusually scarce, was 4s 10d per 81bs. From
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we
received 2,200 shordiorns ; from other parts of England,
600 of various breads; from Ireland, 480 oxen; and from
Scotland, 53 Scots.

The shOw of all breeds of sheep was but moderate, and
their condition was by no means first-rate. The primest
Downs and half-breds changed hands steadily, at prices
quite equal to L'aose realised on Monday last. Otherwise,
the mutton trade midi heavy, at a decline in the quota-
tions of 2d per Blbs. There were 480 Irish sheep on offer.
Calves, the show of which was limited. sold steadily,
and last week's prices were well supported. The highest
quotation was 4s 10d per 81bs.
We had a slight improvement in the demand for pigs,
and prices were quite as high as last week.

SEEDS,

Early in the week the market for linseed was very
buoyant, and Bombay readily brought 615., but the large
arrivals from the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff have checked
upward tend ency. Linseed cakes continuo to improve, at
increased quotations. The demand for Calcutta rape is
very limited, prices ranging from 63s for fine, down to 52s
for very inferior.

A PROJECTED RIVAL TO THE TIMES.

A meeting for the purpose of carrying out the
above singular project was held at Swansea last
week. The Rev. David Thomas, of Stockwell, in
the course of explanations, said—People did not
now read volumes, but pamphlets, and especially
newspapers—so much so that the daily Times has
been called the bible of England—hence its influ-
ence was immense. They all knew with what ease
the Times ignored great questions—how it blew hot
or cold on several fundamental points—h.ow it could
turn round—it was not, in fact, guided by the pole-
star of honesty, rectitude, and human justice. Any
scheme, therefore, which would improve this state
of things was deserving the attention and respect
of every man who loved his country. Mr. Thomas
then proceeded to explain the nature of the pro-
posed scheme. It was the establishment of a first-
class newspaper, to be called The Dial, which would
be formed under the Limited Liability Act. The
speaker then read copious extracts from the prospec-
tus, after which he remarked that failure was al-
most im possible. The paid-up capital would amount
to no less than 5J0,000/., and this large amount
would buy not only the Lest type, the best paper,
the best ink, but it would buy the best talent, the
best brains, and the best experience. But not only
had they the advantage of this large sum of money,
but this would be sut scribed by about 100,000, all
of whom would naturally be inquiring for The
Dial. The principles were enrolled in the deed of
settlement, and, therefore, nothing could be put in
the paper incompatible with the prospectus. The
scheme also secured another thing--that the paper
should always be of a high moral tone. They did
not want a paper which should be primarily swayed
on public questions, not by a sordid calculation of
protit and loss, but by consideration of right and
wrong. The scheme would also be a national one;
it would take in meu of all classes. On the board
were as many Churchmen as Dissenters. Although
the paper had only once been advertised they
had already got 10,0001., and he believed that
in three months the whole of the shares would be
taken. The scheme was secured from all monopoly
by no one person being allowed to take more than
10 shares. A resolution was carried expressing
concurrence in the proposed National Newspaper
League.—Carmarthen, Journal.
