A DRUNKEN SOLDIER'S FREAK.—John Duff, a private in
the Scots Fusilier Guards, was charged with being found
in enclosed premises with intent to commit a felony.
Mr. George Edwin Collins, landlord of the White Horse
public-house, Lupus-street, Pimlico, said that, from infor-
mation he received at half-past 12 that morning, ho went
into the back yard and found the prisoner, drunk, sitting
on the wall that divided his boucle from the next. Ile
gave him into custody, but did not think he was about to
commit a felony. Some property belonging to a neigh-
bour was found upon him, and he was taken to the
station.

Sergeant Bone, 7 B, said as he took prisoner, who was
very drunk, to the station he observed something protrud-
ing from under his coat, and asked him what it was. He
said, "Nothing," and witness might have it if he liked. It
turned out to be a pair of ladies' drawers which had been
taken from the next yard.

Miss Emma Willis, 69, Lupus-street, identified the pro-
perty as hers. It had been left out to dry. She knew
nothing of the prisoner.
The prisoner said nothing in answer to the charge.

In answer to the magistrate, the sergeant of the batta-
lion said prisoner's character was "irregular." He would
be punished by the military authorities if not convicted by
the magistrate.
The prisoner was given up to his, regiment to be dealt
with.

MARKETS.- This day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on offer in our market to-
day was very moderate. The attendance of buyers was
limited, and the demand ruled heavy at Monday's quota-

ions.

Over 23,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having been reported
since Saturday sales progressed heavily at the late decline
in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were inactive.
The barley trade was heavy, and to have forced sales
lower rates must have been submitted to.
The malt trade was heavy ; in prices, however, no'change
took place.
There was a fair average supply of oats on offer, and the
trade ruled inactive at late rates.
Beans were very dull, but not cheaper. •
In peas only a limited business was passing at late rates.
The flour trade, was heavy on former .terms. Seeds and
cakes were a slow inquiry.

shire agricultural labourers will be organised during the

TRAGIC FATE OF A GERMAN PATRIOT.—Under

the presidency of Karl Blind a committee has been
formed in this country in aid of the German patriot, Theo-
dor Moogling, who, after having been severely wounded in
ono of the revolutionary battles in Baden, was kept four
long years in solitary confinement at Bruchsal. In con-
sequence of the after effects of his prison sufferings, Moeg-
ling's reason has lately given way ; his little estate in
Wurternburg had to be sold, and his family have become
utterly impoverished. The committee alluded to, which
contains a number of names of the literary, professional,
and commercial class, now address an appeal for aid to the
Germans in England.
Two wealthy and youthful earls have just fallen
victims to that scourge of our climate, consumption—viz.,
Earl Brownlow, at the age of 24, and Earl Rivers, at the
age.of 17. The rent-roll of the former produced £120,000
aqear, and that of the latter .t 60,000 a-year.
