MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

About an average supply of English wheat has come to
hand, this week, coastwise, viz., 2,010 quarters. Fresh up,
to-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage, were
small ; consaquently, the show
of samples was limited.
All kinds met a very dull inquiry, and inferior samples
were rather lower in price than on Monday.
Nearly 13,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come in
this week. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and
prices were barely supported.
Barley moved off slowly, at about Monday's currency.
We had a slow inquiry for malt, at late quotations.
The oat trade was less active, and inferior oats were the
'urn lower.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market, to-day, was very moderately supplied with
beasts, and all breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's cur-
rency. The show of sheep was limited ; nevertheless, the
mutton trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Calves moved off slowly, and, in some instances, the quota-
tions were a shade lower than on Monday. Pigs and milch
cows were very dull, at the late decline in value.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BREAKING THE PLEDGE.—JOIIII Flarney, an Irishman,
was brought before Mr. Bingham by police-constable E
20, charged with drunkenness.
The policeman, it appeared, on perambulating his
beat, examining the houses and premises over which he
has the watch and nightly guardianship, found, on
turning on his "bull's eye," so as to reflect well into the
various corners, the defendant lying coiled up in an angle
of the area, No. 66, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square,
at half-past one o'clock in the morning. The con-
stable's first impression, on catching a glimpse of the
but imperfectly discovered object below was,
naturally enough, that the individual was there for
some fel mious purpose, and that an attempt to enter
the house was really meditated, but, upon descend.
inz, he at once discovered that the defendant was fast
asleep and dead drunk, and had, while fn a state of
perfect unconsciousness mistaken the area for his bed
chamber, and made his bdging there "on the cold
ground " accordingly. "Don't disturb me l" he blurted
out, on being well shaken by the policeman, "let me
rest and drop to sleep again. The constable by no
means induced to humour him in his request, but rather
philanthropically disposed, carried him off to the station,
and provided him free of all cost with far more nom.
fortable and commodious quarters.
Defendant, in reply, informed his worship that be had
been a teetotaller 14 years and this wasthe first time he
bad broken the pledge.
Mr. Bingham, upon the defendant's promise to return
to teetotalism, discharged him without a fine.

THAMES.

CHARGE OP WILPIIL MllRDEL—Patrick Reilly, an
Irish labourer, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Yardley, charged with the wilful murder of David
Tarbes, a privets in the Scots Fusilier Guards, stationed
at Windsor. The prisoner has been in ouqody since the
sth inst , and has been remanded from time to time; on
medical certificates, that Tarbet's skull was fractured,
and that he was in a precarious condition. The soldier
died at the Military Barracks, Clewer, near Wind.
sor, on Tuesday morning last. The inquest was held
upon the body of the deceased on Wednesday afternoon
before Mr. T. W. Martin, the coroner for the borough
of New Windsor, in the county of Berks, and a verdict
of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner
Reilly.
Inspector Garnon, of the II division, said he held in his
hand a warrant from Mr. Martin, the coroner for New
Windsor, for the apprehension and committal of the
prisoner to Newgate for trial.
The case then proceeded, and the short facts of it
were these :—The deceased and a comrade named Steel
were on furlough in London on the 28th of December
last, and while passing Resemary-lane, alias Royal Mint-
street, near the Tower, they saw two Irishwomen fight-
ing, surrounded by a disorderly mob. One of the women
had a child in her arms. The soldiers got between the
women for the purpose of separating them, and said,
" don't hurt the child.'' Their interference was resented
by many of the by-standers, and the prisoner obtained
an iron hammer and struck the deceased a violent blow
on the head with it. The soldier's skull was fractured,
land he lingered until Tuesday last, when he expired.
Ile was in his 22d year, and was a tall, well-formed

man.
Mr. Frederick Robinson, battalion surgeon of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, stated that he had made a post-
mortem examination of the body of David Tarbett.
Death was caused by a fracture of the skull. A blow
from a hammer might produce the fracture.
Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial, and he
also stands committed on the warrant of Mr. Martin,
the coroner, on the charge of " wilful murder."

died at half-past three o'clock in the morning of yester•

The deceased gentleman was an alderman of the City of

that capacity, and for which there is now, of course, a
vacancy. There appears to be no doubt but that Mr.

BY A MEURER, OF TIIE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.
" We never commence the perusal of works on this malady with-
out preparing ourselves to meet most appalling descriptions of human
Sufi', rings. It was, therefore, a most agreeable surprise to us to
find this error (as it appears to us) carefully avoided in this work,
and the subject treated In a common sense, and truly practical
manner. . . . No medical man should undertake the treatment
of Spermatorrlicea without first consulting this work."—Medical

COLONIAL.

Tmx—The market is firm, and a rather large business
has been done for home consumption. Speculative trans.
actions, however, are quiet pending the arrival of the
China Mail expected to be delivered to-day.
SUGAR—The inquiry for the better qualities suitable for
home consumption continues rather active, and previous
rates have Lain %well supported. In the refined market
there is a good dt-3maLl for all descriptions of dried goods
at an advance of about Is per cwt. on last week's quo-

ations.

COFFEE.—The demand for the home trade is steady, and
good qualities of Plantation Ceylon realise fully former
values.
RICE. —There has been very little business done, and
prices have exhibited a slight downward tendency. The
stocks continuo very large with only moderate deliveries.

THE LEVIATHAN.

A satisfactory rate of progress towards the launch has
been achieved this morning. At midday, when the men
went to dinner, the register showed a progress down the
ways of 8 feet 7 inches aft, being the best morning's
work since the resumption of the operations on Tuesday
last. On the return of the men from dinner they
proceeded with their work, and the vessel readily
yielded to the pressure of the hydraulic rams. At
half-past one the total progress was nearly ten feet, the
proportion fore and aft being pretty nearly equal.

Tua LEITUTHAIT.—The distance yet to be accom-
plished is between 50 and CO feet; and making reason-
able allowance for the few mishaps that can now oruur,
there is no doubt that the whole will be completed by
Saturday next at latest. There will not, however, be
sufficient water to float the Leviathan till the 31st of
this month.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slll,—As many of your readers may feel anxious to

Gazette of the Bth inst., viz. :
Wheat, 7a. 2td. per imperial bushel

I beg to state for their information that each 1001. of
tithe rent charge will, for the year 1858, amount to 1051.
16s. 31c1., which is a little more tltan 6 per cent, above
the last year's value.
The following statement, from my forthcoming
" Annual Tithe Commutation Tables," will show the

THE POST-OFFICE DEAD-LETTER ROOM.—We learn 1
with much satisfaction that at length the icy heart of
Rowland Hill has melted, thawed by our remonstrances,
and that something has been done to convert the dead-
letter icehouse of St. Martin's-le-Grand into a habitable
apartment. Hot-water pipes have been laid on, and the
officials can now do the dead-letter business without
being frost-bitten or turned into icicles. An improve-
ment in the ventilation and atmosphere of this large room
is still a desideratum, and we hope that the all-powerful
Secretary will not disdain to look to that little bit of
useful reform.—Civil SCMCI Gazette.
