THAMES.

MASQUERADING—A COMPLETE MAKE-UP.—A smooth-
faced and whiskerless young man, who gave the name of
William Jones, and was dressed in a woman's clothes, with
Leghorn hat and blue ribbons, was brought before Mr.
Paget charged with being drunk and disorderly.
Mr. Paget asked what the prisoner meant by calling
herself William Jones.

Inspector Beare, of the K division, said the prisoner was
a man.

Mr. Paget—lt is a most disroputable and indecent thing
for a man to assume the dress and character of a woman.

John Clark, 491 K, stated that there was a masquerade
at the Britannia, in the Back-road, St. George-in-the-East,
last night. The prisoner was there and was coming away
with some friends, and had reached Cannon- street, Rat-
cliff-highway, and was parting with his friends, when his
attention was called to him. Tho prisoner made a loud
noise and used a great many filthy epithets. He told the
prisoner, whom he mistook for a disorderly prostitute, to
go home and not be making a noise. The prisoner laid
hold of,his arm, and some of his friends called hint Caro-
line, and told him to have nothing to do with the police
constable. The prisoner then commenced talking to him,
and he said tc him "you are a man ; you ought to be
ashamed of yourself to bo walking the streets In that
dress." The prisoner lifted up the dress he was wearing
and said ho had trousers on. The prisoner had on a
woman's drawers, but no trousers, and he took him into
custody. There were several others about in masquerade
dresses. The prisoner's wifo and another female wore in
his company.

Thomas Barris, No. 383 K, saw the prisoner leave tho
Britannia public-house soon utter one o'clock this morning
with other females.

Mr. Pagot—The prisoner is a man.

Harris—l beg pardon, sir, there were two females with
him. I saw him eating fried fish afterwards. The make-
up was so complete that I really mistook him for a woman.
Mr. Paget—lt is a serious matter. The assuming of a
woman's dross by a man may lead to very serious conse-
quences.

The prisoner, whose voice was anything but feminine,
said he did not assume the dress of a woman for any un-
lawful purpose. Ms wife and a female friend wore with
him.

Sarah Floroace Really said she accompanied the pri-
soner to the Britttnnia, and his wifo was with them. She
did not wear any masquerade dregs.
The prisoner's wife gave similar ovilence.

Mr. Paget said that the prisoner's ♦ery improper con-
duct might give rise to the grossest possible indecency.
There could not bo a worse offence than for a young man
to assume the dress and character of a woman. The pri-
soner took his wife and another woman to the masquerade
with him, and that disarmed a good deal of suspicion of
the prisoner's motives. Ile sentenced the prisoner to pay
a fine of 405., or be imprisoned ten days.

BURKE T S.—This day.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat, both coastwise and by rail, are only moderate, but
in fair average condition. The attendance of millers was
limited; nevertheless the few samples on offer moved off
steadily at full currencies of Monday last.
The supplies of foreign were moderately extensive, and
with a fair demand late rates were steadily maintained.
The quality of the samples was moderately good.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, on pre-
vious terms.

Barley met a good inquiry, but there was very little
English to be had, and prices consequently are almost
nominal. Foreign descriptions wore a fair sale, at Mon-
day's currencies. •

The malt trade is rather heavy, but prices are without
alteration.

There was a plentiful supply of oats, and good sound
corn moved off steadily at late rates, but inferior and
heated parcels wore somewhat cheaper.
Beans and peas met a slow salo, but were quits as dear
as on Monday.
Cakes were steady, but agricultural seeds were in little
demand.

We have no alteration to notice in the valuo of flour.
The trade is dull.
