SEEDS.

Linsei has been in slow request, et barely last week's quotations.
New rapeseed coutAties dull. Clover seed and trefoil are inactive,

quotations. New mustard and tares are fetching unusually high
prices. Cakes are firm, and prices have an upward tendency.

carriage. Ferris at first tried 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.
As he was no match for both, Ferris quietly recommended
them to walk on, determining to follow them till lie should
come up with another constable; but they became co vio-
lent that he found it uccessary to attempt to capture James
Jeffries, who, from his violence and great stature, appeared
other
the most dangerous. While endeavouring to seize and hand-
cuff him, Francis Jefilies attacked the officer, had James
aided him. The first !Vow cf the former's sickle fortunately
was oblique; but it cut off the.
blows with his walking
brim of the policeman's hat.
Ferris endeavoured to ward oil

The officer then retreated a few paces, at the same time en-

policeman Marlow arrived just as the ruffian's runic were

and knocked down his antagonist; and Ferris then knocked
down the other. They were both handcuffed and token 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 0 very precarious state.—On
Friday the prisoners were brought op at the police-court,
