SEEDS.

Linseed has been in slow request, at barely last week's quotations.
New rapeseed continues dull. Clover seed and trefoil are inactive,
yet holders demand extreme rates. Canary commands last week's
quotations. New mustard and tares are fetching unusually high
prices. Cakes are lirmn, and prices have an upward tendency.

MURDEROUS ATTACK —On Thursday evening, in
the Compton Road, Wolverhampton, two brcthers, named
James and Patrick Jeffries, under the Influence of liquor,
brandished their sickles, and wounded several per-
sons by striking them with these dangerous tools.
°tie man bled from a wound in the upper part of the
face; and another WES al u cut, and,
when a police-
man, named Ferris, had his attention first directed to
the ruffians, they were actually menacing an infant in a
carriage. Ferris at first flied quietly to persuade them to
put up their sickles; but they at once turned upon him,
threatening him in the most violent and repulsive language.
Farris As be was no match for both, quietly recommended
them to walk on, determining to follow them till be should
come up with another constable ; but they became so vio-
lent that he found it necessary to attempt to (rapture James
Jeffries, who, from his violence and great stature, appeared
the most dangerous. While endeavouring to seize and hand-
cuff him, Francis Jeffries attacked the officer, and James
aided him. The first blow cf the former's sickle fortunately
was oblique ; but it cut off the. brim of the policeman's hat.
Ferris endeavoured to ward off other blows with his walking
stick ; hut a heavy blow from a sickle cut his stick in two.
The officer then retreated a few paces, at the same time en-
deavouring to get out hii staff, when he was closely followed
by both brothers, who shouted, "Now we shall have the
; now we'll have his life." The next blow of a sickle
was parried with the truncheon; but the fallowing struck
the officer's !Eft arm, occasioning a frightful wound on the
elbow joint. TPe blood flowed eopro9sly ; and like wild
beasts, info' iated by the sight, the In-lime-0. again sprang
upon the officer, arid one sickle was coming down upon him
with a force which must have killed the poor fellow, when
policeman Marlow arrived just as the ruffian's arms were
uplifted. A timely and well-aimed blow saved Ferris's life,
and knocked down his antagonist ; and Ferris then knocked
down the other. They were both handcuffed and taken to
the police-station, and Ferris was conveyed to a surgeon's,
where his wounds were dressed, and he was then taken
home, where he remains in a very precarious state.—On
Friday the prisoners were brought up at the police-court,
Wolverhampton, when Marlow and Mr. De Lane, surgeon,
gave evidence; and as Ferris was unable to give 145 eTi-
denco the prisoners were remanded for a week.
