The holders of wheat in the lountry markets held on
Ba‘mrclay were somewhat firmer fr wheat than in the early
part of the week. Barley was study, at full prices; but
all other kinds of produce met a dry dull inquiry.

CHAP.GE OF STABB: [2:G.—Michael George Ryan was
charged with attenlpt ing to stab, with a dagger, Mr.
Mackay, proprietor of Nulling's Hotel, in Ironmonger-
lane.

Most of the Continental markos have become inactive
for all articles of produce, and tie quotations have ruled
in favour of buyers. Steady shipatnts of produce continuo
to be made from America.

It appeared from the i evidence that the prisoner, who
is an Irishman, and abc ut to emigrate to Buenos Ayres
by t,;e John Scott, wen t, in company with a friend who
going to emigrate witi t hire, to the prosecutors' hotel,
on their arrival in Engel: tnd, and took up their abode
there. On Saturday ni3l it, or rather towards Sunday
morning, the prosecute'r stated that he met the pri-
soner on the stairs and ;made a remark to him which
drew a rejoinder from him, and ultimately the
prisoner drew a daggrr, made a thrust at the
prosecutor, who forte: nately parried the blow,
and escaped without i !jury. The defence was
that the proprietor, who "A as unknown as such at the
time to the prisoner, w ae on the stairs in anything but
a sober state, and threat taed to throw the latter over
the stairs, on which a took place, and recourse
was had to the dagger. It was a formidable article, of
finished make, with a white handle, and had been pur-
chased in Dublin by the prisoner, considering it would
be useful in South Ameri cal. The evidence was exceed-
ingly csnflicting, and occupied a considerable time in
investigation.

Very limited supplies of home-,yown produce were re-
ceive up to our market last week The imports of foreign
were 27,155 quarters of wheat, 6185 barley, 23,528 oats,
350 bi3am, 10 peas, 1,570 liuseecl,2ss rapeseed, 2,445 In-
dLsn ruin, and 11,839 barrels of flair.

The quantity of English wheat •eceived fast up to-day
from all quarters, coastwise and b• land carriage, was very
limit•ad ; and the show of samplesof both red and white
was small. The attendance of milers was by no means
extensive, yet factors commenced by asking higher prices
for both reel and white. On the Thole, in consequence of
the very small quantity brought forward, the demand
ruled steady, at last Monday's decline in the quotations;
but a few very fine samples realisLl an advance of from is.
to 2s. per qr.
We wore rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex granary. The amount of business doing
in all kinds was limited; neverthtless we have no change
to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull.
Several parcels of new barley clanged hands, at 47s to
50s per quarter. Old parcels wen dull, and prices were
barely supported.
Milt was dull, and inferior qualhies were the turn lower.
Good sound oats sold to a moderate extent on former
terms; but low middling parcels were dull, and lower to
purchase.
The sales for beans ruled very inactive at drooping
prices.
Now white and grey peas were oa sale in good condi-
tion. Old pease_were dull, and is to 2e per quarter lower.
The amount of business doing in flour was very mode-
rate, yet prices were supported.

The Lord Mayor made some strong and just remarks
against the use of the knife, and, as the ship in which
the prisoner and his fr imld, who was in court, was to
sail on Wednesday, anct considering the conflicting
character of the evidence, impounded the dagger, and
discharged the prisoner o!i his entering into his own re-
eognisances in 201. to keep the peace for twelve months.
The required recognisance was entered into, and the
prisoner left with his friend.
