MARK LANE.

The trade -for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was dull, owing to the fineness of the weather,
and the favourable accounts respecting the crops. Prices
were rather lower than on the previous week. For spring
corn there was a very moderate demand at about previous
quotations. The flour trade was quiet at late rates.
On the Continent the trade for wheat continues dull,
and prices continue to give way. At New York a further
heavy fall has taken place in the value of wheat and flour.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were small. The imports from abroad comprised
20,699 quarters of wheat, 430 barley; 27,470 oats, 5 beans,
424 peas, 10 linseed, 25 rape and oil seeds, 6,946 maize, 82
sundry, and 893 sacks otliour.

Fresh uplto our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very small. Owing to the continued
fineness of the weather, and the favourable accounts from
the agricultural districts, the trade was in a most inactive
state, and prices were quite nominal.
Floating cargoeS of grain were in slow request at late
prices.

Barley was in short supply, yet the trade was very quiet
ou former terms.
For foreign wheat there was very little demand. Factors
held all descriptions at last Monday's currency, and the
small amount of business dohe was at that day's sales.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE
The supply of sheep was larger than on Monday last
and the quality of the stock on the whole was good. The
demand was chiefly for prime small sheep, which changed
hands at the rates of Monday last ; 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81b
being the top quotation. Prime heavy sheep, including
other qualities, sold slowly, at barely late rates.
Lambs were in good supply, and the trade ruled heavy,
on easier terms. The prices realised varied from 5s 8d to
to 6s 8d per 81b.
Calves were in moderate supply. The trade was slow
at late prices.
Pigs met a slow sale at the quotations of Monday last.
The supply of foreign beasts on sale here to-day was
large. The trade for.all qualities was dull, at a failure in
price of 2d. to 4d. per 8 lbs. Foreign sheep were in good
supply. The demand ruled quiet, at bartily late rates
The first supplies of farming beasts aro expected iu the
market next Monday.
. There was an increased 'arrival of boasts from our own
grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, and the qua-
lity of the stock was prime. Taking into consideration
the circumstance that country butchers are almost wholly
excluded from the market, the supply of beasts was very
largo, and much in excess of the actual demand. Hence
the beef trade was very dull, and prices declined 2d. to
4d. per 8 lbs. The top quotation was ss. 4d. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,700 Scots, short-horns, and crosses. From
other parts of England, including Leicestershire and Lin-
colnshire, 1,000 of various breeds, and from Scotland 156

crosses, &o. __

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Bay.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before the Lord Chief Justice
and a Special Jury.)
ISAACS V. CALPENTER.

The plaintiff in 'this case is a furniture dealer in
business in the Tottenham-court-road, and the de-
fendant a gentleman residing in Pimlico. The
action was brought to 'recover a sum of £3l 163. 6d.
for goods sold and delivered, and the defendant
pleaded not indebted.

From the opening statement of counsel 'it ap-
peared that in April last the defendant's wife called
at the establishment of the plaintiff and saw the
foreman. She said she wanted to purchase a draw-
ing-room suite, and she selected articl:s to the
amount in dispute. She said that she had
no money about her, but that if the foreman
would make out an invoice and send it to her resi-
dence, she would let him have £5 on :account.
The inkstand having been upset he wrote the in-
voice in pencil, and sent it to the house of the de-
fendant in Colchester-street, Pimlico. The £5 was
paid, but the day after the defendant called, and
having seen the furniture, said it was not what he
wanted, and offered to purchase goods to the amount
of £6 55., provided the receipt given for the £5
was cancelled. Mr. Isaacs refused, but said that
he would allow the defendant to have other goods
to the amount of those purchased. The plaintiff
sent the goods to the defendant's house, but they
were not received, and the defendant's solicitor
wrote to the plaintiff, accusing him of having ob-
tained £5 under false pretences, and threatening to
bring the matter before a magistrate unless the
money was returned, but no such proceeding was
taken. The defendant also threatened the plaintiff
with a penalty of £lO for his foreman having given
a receipt in pencil. When the messenger was sent
with the invoice to the house of the plaintiff, she
heard the wife of the latter say to him, 6' I have
bought such a beautiful lot of furniture."
The defence was that the £5 was left merely as a
deposit for the goods, in the event of the plaintiff
approving of them.

The evidence was of the most conflicting de
scription, and the jury found a verdict for the de.
fendaut.

Leave was given to move for a new trial on be
half of the plaintiff.

THAMES.

A RUFFIAN WELL PUNISHED.—MichaeI Don-
nelly, an Irish labourer, aged 50, of No. 16, Samuel-
street, Limehouse, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with violently assaulting and wounding
Isabella M'Farlane, whose head was bandaged.
She was in a weakly condition from loss of blood.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, conducted the prosecu-
tion, and said the poor woman for whom he ap-
peared had been savagely assaulted, and she had
been under medical treatment for nine days. The
prisoner was the landlord of the house in which the
parties lived, and there were some differences be-
tween them. The prisoner threatened to knockout
the brains of the woman and her son. The pri-
soner's wife threw a lot of cold water over the com-
plainant, who soon afterwards went down stairs to
open the door for her son. The prisoner followed
her and struck her a tremendous blow on the
head with a piece of hard wood. She was
knocked down, a
,severe wound was inflicted,
and she lost three pints of blood. The complainant
was taken to the police-station and attended there
by a surgeon. She was afterwards in the hospital
till Wednesday last.

The statement of Mr. Stoddart was confirmed by
the complainant and other witnesses, and by Joseph
Hallidayhpolice-constable 329 K, who produced a
block of hard wood with which the wound had been
inflicted.

Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. John Hodgson, solicitor,
set up a defence that the complainant was the
aggressor, and called witnesses.
Mr. Paget was of opinion that the defence was
untrue, and concocted for the purpose of relieving
the prisoner of the consequences of a serious offence.
Mr. Gomm said he only acted on his instructions
given to him by the prisoner and his friends.
Mr. Paget--•A brutal and ruffianly assault has
been committed, for which I sentence the prisoner
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.

A COUNTRY LADY'S ADVENTURES IN LONDON.—
Miss Josephine Cooper, a fashionably dressed
young lady, 19 years of age, was charged with
being drunk and incapable.
A ,constable proved that the lady had been bought
from Victoria-station in a cab as the driver did not
know what else to do with her.

The lady said she came up from Hastings on
Saturday morning to see her solicitor, and return-
ing to the station had a very sick and bilious attack,
and was recommended by the female attendant to
take some brandy, and then had some soup and
sherry. She lost the train, and was also a loser of
two diamond rings and /6 in money.
The policeman said that after the lady was taken
from the cab two sovereigns and some silver were
found upon the seat.

The lady said that that was her money, which
had fallen out of her purse. She considered her
losses were between the female attendant spoken of
and the cabman.

The cabman said he drove the lady to 6, St.
James's-place, and to an hotel in Ryder-street, but
she could not get a bed. He then ordered her to a
public house where she had sixpennyworth of sherry
and water. She was a little elevated when she got
into the cab and after the sherry. By the falling
she became insensible.

The lady did not remember the sherry, and was
almost certain she had her property safe when she
went into the cab.

Mr. Arnold observed that the lady's memory
seemed very defective. He fined her 2s. for being
drunk. She might complain to the police about her
loss.

writers on Bryology, and afterwards described the distinc-

tivo characters of tho spores, stems, leaves, reproductive
organs, development of the fruit, sporangium, &c., as well
as the habitats of mosses, mode of collecting, examination,
preservation, and uses. 'There was a large attendance of
members and visitors who, at a conversazione which fol-
lowed, had art opportunity of viewing, under the micro-
scopes, carefully prepared specimens illustrative of the
paper. Four :members were elected.
