THAMES.

A TRIFLING AFFAIR.—EIIen Lynch, a prostitute, was
brought before Mr. Paget, charged with knocking a mane
hat off.

Mr. William Perchell, a Custom-house officer, said he
was passing along Cable-street, Whitechapel, yesterday
afternoon, with a Southampton friend, when the prisoner
knocked his bat off. It fell in the mud. Ho offered no
provocation whatever.
Robert Billings, a police constable, No. 103 H, said he
took the prisoner into custody, and the prosecutor charge'
her with demanding money of him for five nights' lodging,
although he had never seen her before, and on his telling
her to get away she knocked Lis hat off. The prisoner
was intoxicated. _ _

In defence, the prisoner said she met with some sailors,
who shoved her against the prosecutor, and his hat fell
off.

Mr. Paget asked the constable Billings if he knew the

prisoner.
Billings—Yes, sir; I know her name; she is a disor-
derly prostitute.
" '

Mr. Paget—And you know her name, and whore she

lives ?

Billings—Yes, sir, I do.
Mr. Paget —I think you had better have left the com-
plainant to his reme ly by summons.
Billings—A respectable man was passing along the
street, and his hat is knocked off by a prostitute—the is
a very drunken, disorderly woman.
Mr. Paget—Yes, you are perfectly right in looking after
these disorduly women, but in a trifling affair like this you
had 'scarcely occasion-to interfere.- You .w.ta I.4ve at_
reeled the complainant to this court instead of taking her
into custody. I shall allow her to be discharged.
CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING —A Spanish sailor,
who gave the name of Lawrence Holmes, and whose ship
is lying in the river off Millwall, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with cutting and wounding William Romero,
another seamKn, who was stated to be on board the Dread-
nought Hospital ship and in a very dangerous condition.
M. Romero, a Spanish boardinghouse-keeper, of No. 62,
Upper East Smithfield, said he was no relation to the
wounded man. He saw the prisoner and Romero on board
ship in the West India Dock, yesterday afternoon. They
were struggling, and one was ou the top of the other alter-
nately. He separated them, and saw that Romero was
bleeding from a wound on the chest, and that he had a
knife, stained with blood, in his hand. He took the knife
horn the prisoner and threw it an the deck.
Mr. Paget—Was the wounded man taken to the
hospital e

Witness—Yes, sir, directly; he bled very much.
Mr. Paget directed the witness to repeat the evidence in
the Spanish language to the prisoner, and, that having
been done, he remanded the prisoner for a week.

MARKE TS. -- this day.

Although tho supply of English wheat here, to-day, was
very limited, all kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's de-
cline in the quotations.

The first imports of foreign wheat have been moderate,
viz, 14,360 quarters; but the show of samples was on the
increase. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and the
quotations were almost nominal.

In floating cargoes of grain scarcely a transaction took
place.

The few samples of barley brought forward were held
at full quotations.
The malt trade was heavy, on former terms.
Oats were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
Beans and peas were quite as dear as last week; but
flour was a slow inquiry.

Sox.—News reached Winchester Yesterday afternoon that
the wife of Sir Itoger Tichborne, the claintant to the Tieli=
borne estates, had been safely delivered of a sou at eleven
o'clock on Monday morning. The bells of the old cathe-
dral were immediately set ringing, and continued to pour
forth their notes of rejoicing fur some hours to celebrate
the event. It would appear that at last some decided steps
are about to be taken by Sir Roger Tichborne to establish
his claim to the baronetcy. Several bills have been
printed ready for filing in the Court of Chancery, a step
which, it is expected, will be taken almost immediately,
but up to Saturday, it is understood, nothing definite had
taken placo in this respect.
