AN INCORRIGIBLE VIRAGO.—Mary Smith, a woman
nearly 60 years of age, was brought up on a warrant,
charged with assaulting her husband, who is some years
her senior.
Complainant, who is a gate-keeper ou the Grosvenor
estate, said that defendant came out of prison on Satur-
day morning, whither she had been repeatedly committed
for assaulting him, and as usual visited him at his em-
ployment. Ho gave her the keys of his rooms, and told
her to go home. When he went there she commenced a
violent attack upon him, beat him, and destroyed his
clothes. When the officer came to apprehend her at night
she again attacked him.
Seeley, the warrant officer, said that when he told de-
fendant he bad a warrant against her, sho flew at her hus-
band, seized him by the hair of his head and whiskers, and
dragged him from ono end of the room to the other. With
some trouble witness rescued him, but just as ho WAS leav-
ing the room, she broke from his hold and again attacked
him, tearing the coat off his back.
Mr. belie (te defendant)—You are possessed of the evil
spirit.

Defendant—No, 1 'aint.
Mr. Selfe- --Moro or less I think you are. You aro the
curse of this poor man's life for weeks, months, and years.
You have rendered his existence intolerable. You get
drunk, you pawn everything.
Defendant—Sometimes he pawns himself.
Mr. Selfe—l wish he would pawn you, for I am tired of
seeing you. _

Defendant —lt ain't my fault.
Mr. Solfo—Who's is it?
Defendant—There's fault on both sides.
Mr. Selfe— It is the same thing mouth after month•
You pawn, drink, and make the poor man's life perfectly
miserable, and endanger his means of living by besetting
him at his employment.
Defendant—He says I would hang at Newgate for him,
but I don't think I did; I had had a little to drink.
Mr. Salle—Your husband is cursed with a vicious bad
wife. I don't know what to do with you ; you are too old
to send to a reformatory. (Much laughter.) I will en-
deavour to protect your husband. You must find good
bail for six mouths.
Committed in default.

MARK-LANE.

Tile. leading country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat. Although the trade was
inactive, previous rates were rather exceeded for fine
samples. _Barley and oats were quite is per qr. lower, and
all other kinds of pro lute were much neglected.
The ti wsactions in grain on the Continent continuo on
a moderate kale. Prices, however, are supported. The
exports from America are still very limited.
The imporw of foreign and colonial produce into London
last week amoit.uted to 3,285 qrs. of wheat, 4,623 barley,
52,121 oats, 1,3 a tares, 5,160 rap:mood, 30 sundries, and

1,791 sacks of flour.
The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-
day was small, but there was a decided improvement in
the general couditiou of the samples. Owing to the small
importation last week and the rise in prices in several of
the country markets *held on Saturday the trade was firm,
and an advance of 15 per quarter was established in the
quotations as compared with Monday last.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
Tho demand for most descriptions ruled steady, and, in
some instances, a slight improvement took place in priCes.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full
quotations.
The supply of English barley on sale was rather
limited, but the market was tolerably well supplied with
foreign produce. The trade was dull for all qualities, and
prices declined to the extent of ls. per quarter from Mon-
day last.
Malt sold heavily, at about late rates.
Oats were in heavy supply, and the trade was dull, at a
decline iu prices of 6d. and ls. per quarter.
The market was moderately supplied with beans. The
trade was very quiet, and last Monday's prices were barely
supported.
Peas met a slow sale, on rather easier terms. The show
of samples was very moderate.
About an average business was transacted in flour, at
last Monday's curency.
Clover seed was in but moderate request, at late rates.
Other agricultural seeds were very quiet.
For linseed the market was quiet, on former terms.
Sound Calcutta rapeseed continues scarce.
Cakes changed hands to a moderato extent, at the pre-
sent decline in the quotations. .
