AN AMOROUS AND VIOLENT LABOURER.—Abraham
Taylor, an elderly cab-driver, who is manied and is the
father of nine children, was brought before Mr. Paget
charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Emma Smith, of
No. 3, Palmer-street, Ratcliff, and Thomas Tyler, a young
man, who is paying hisaddresses to Mrs. Smith's daughter.
The parties have been acquainted for some time, and
about 12 months ago they wore involved in some trouble,
and both prisoner and complainant were fined in this
court, and Mrs. Smith paid the fines, in amount £4, for
both. In consequence of the prisoner having dared to
attempt familiarities with Mrs. Smith, and declaring that
ho was in love with her, she had forbidden him her
house and declined all further intercourse with him. Yes-
terday afternoon he entered Mrs. Smith's house against her
will, and she or !erect Lim to leave directly. Ile would not
do so, and used very abusive languAge towards her. A
police-constable, No. 280 K, was called, and the prisoner
was removed. Some hours after yards he returned to the
house armed with an old and rusty chopper. Ile was again
requested to leave, and on his refusal Mrs. Smith and a
young man named Tyler made an attempt to get him from
the house. Ho attacked both with great fury, struck the
young man several times and blackened his eye, and kicked
Mrs. Smith on the leg. He brandished the chopper and
threatened to anxihilate the complainants. After a scene of
violence and uproar, a police constable, 452 was called,
who took the prisoner.

The prisoner said he was about to take home the
chopier to chop up some wood. He inten,?ed no violence
towards Mrs. Smith, and he did not hurt her. She was a
very bad woman, and was visited by a gentleman whopaid
her £1 per week.

Mrs. Smith denied the imputations on her chastity, and
said that owing to the misconduct of the prisoner and his
friends she had suffered illness for nine months, and was
in bed "right off" for three months.
The prisoner asked the case to boadjournedfor two days
and he would call witnesses to to prove ali he had alleged
about Mrs. Smith.

Mr. Paget said the private character of the woman had
nothing to do with the case. The prisoner had usod abo-
minable language to the complainants, and assaulted them
very grossly. Great forbearance had been shown by the
complainant, Mrs. Smith, and if she was even the bad
character represented, she was not to be ill used. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to one month and hard labour for the
assault on Emma Smith, and one month's imprisonment
and hard labour for the assault on Thomas Tyler, the sen-
tences to be consecutive, and he warned the prisoner that
if he attempted to put any of his diabolical threats into ex-
ecution when he came out of prison he would bo more
severely punished.

MARKE TS. -7This day.

MARK LANE.
The attendance at the Corn Exchange to-day was again
small, and the trade for all descriptions of grain ruled most'
inactive.
The show of English wheat was but trifling, and the
few parcels disposed of realised Monday's currencies. The
quality of the samples was good.
The arrivals of foreign wheat since Monday last have
been limited, only 700 quarters having come to hand.
Prices, consequently, are firm, although the demand was
quite in retail.
Floating cargoes of grain were a plow sale, on previous
terms.

The inquiry for barley was again less active, but the
quotations were without alteration. The supply was but
small.

Tho malt trade continuos dull, but holders are firm in
demanding into rates.
The supply of foreign oats was tolerably extensive, but
there are no fresh arrivals of English.
Good sound corn moved off steadily at previous values.
Beans and peas wore a slow sale, but not cheaper.
In seeds and cakes there was little passing, but we have
no change to notice in the quotations.
The flour trade was dull, and without alteration.

EXCITING SCENE AT A FIRE.—A fire broke out
yesterday forenoon in the store-room above the shoe shop
kept ley Mr. T. Tool, Shudehill, Manchester. A large
number of young women were at work in the upper storey,
and for some time they were in considerable danger of
being burnt to death. A most exciting scene prevailed.
Some of the young women who were left in the burning
building had to leap from the door of the store-room into
the street. They were caught in the arms of the crowd.
A strong detachment of the Firo Brigade was quickly on
the spot, and the flames wore soon got under.

Sheffield Trade Outrages.

MEETING OF THE LONDON TRADES.

An aggregate meeting of the members of the

London Trade Societies was held last evening, at
Exeter Hall, to protest against the trade outrages at
Sheffield. The meeting had been convened by the
Council of the Amalgamated Engineers' Society,
and was presided over by Mr. W. Allan, the secre-
tary of the society. The large hall was well filled.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
strongly denounced the crimes perpetrated by Broad-
head and his accomplices, and said if trade societies
could only be supported by such outrages as have
taken place at Sheffield it were better that they
should cease to exist.

Mr. GUILE, iron founder, moved the first resolu-
tion :—" Resolved—That this meeting of members
of trades' societies not only expresses its utter abhor-
rence of the crimes perpetrated by Broadhead and
his accomplices, but feels bound to say that it can-
not understand how the delegates who composed

the Council of Organised Trades of Sheffield did not
discover for so great a length of time such an
unparalleled system of notorious crimes as has
existed in connection with some of their societies."

He advocated the placing the funds- of trades'
societies under the protection of the law, and that
in return for this boon the societies should give
the utmost publicity to their affairs.
Mr. GEO. ODGER (shoemaker) seconded the reso-
lution. He condemned the conduct of the press in
its endeavour to affix a stigma on all trades unions
for the crimes committed by a few men in Sheffield.
Some months before the sitting of this commission
the trade societies of London bad denounced the
system of rattening prevalent in some of the Shef-
field trades, but they were not prepared for the re-
velations of outrage and murder which had been
brought to light. (Hear.)
Mr. Howell (bricklayer), Mr. Dunning (book-
binder), and Mr. llarvey (joiner), supported the
resolution, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. APPLEGARTH (joiner) moved a resolution

thanking the Sheffield Trades' Commissioners for the
able manner in which they had brought to light the
organised system of crime prevailing amongst cer-
tain of the Sheffield trades. He hoped the commis-
sioners would extend their inquiry, for he felt con-
vinced they would not find the Sheffield employers
entirely blameless in the matters.
'Mr. DODD (zinc worker) seconded the resolution.
Professor BEESLEY and Mr. E. BEAUS spoke to
the resolution, expressing their pleasure at haying

heard the trade unionists of London so emphatically
repudiate any sympathy with the perpetrators of the
abominable outrages which had taken place.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and
a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

We are informed that the number of applications
for tickets for the review in Hyde Park is so much in es-

cess of the accommodation provided for the public that no

more can be attended to.

NEW RESIDENCE FOR lIER MAJESTY IN TILE
lIIGHLANDS.—Her Majesty, who has sinco her annual

visits to Deeside been making improvements year by year

around Balmoral, is having a somewhat extensive house

for her occasional accommodation built on tho south-west

end of Loch Muick. The want of such a retreat must havo
been long felt, as her Majesty frequently drives to the
vicinity of the loch, and when sketching orvisiting the more
distant places on that side of Lochnagar, has had sometimes
to stay over night at "the Hut," where the accommodation

is limited. To obviate this want is the purpose of the
building now in course of construction. The site is in
very wild but picturesque locality. On each of three sideo
of it, and within a few hundred yards of the house, rise
the bold rocky mountains that guard Loch Muick, while
on the fourth side an unbroken view of the loch will be,
obtained. A bridle path leads to the Dhu Loch on the
south-west, where numerous falls indent and variegate
the increasing wildness of the scenery in that direction.

The house will be large enough to accommodate her Ma-
jesty and a limited suite for a night, and will take two sea-
sons to build. Its isolated position may be imagined when
it is known that it is about seven miles from the nearest
farmhouse, and nearly four miles from the nearest habit-

able dwelling, the latter being the house of one of her Ma'
jesty's gamekeepers.—The Scotsman.
NEW ACT ON THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF
SHARES.—Yesterday an important act came into force to
amend the law in respect of the sale and purchase of share
in joint-stock banking companies. The object of the statute
is to prevent contracts for shares and stock in joint-stock
banking companies of which the sellers are not possessed
or over which they have no control. It is enacted that all
contracts, agreements, and tokens of sale and purchase
which shall, from and after the Ist of July, bo made and
entered into for the sale or transfer of any shares, or of
any stock, or other interest in any joint-stock banking
company in the United Kingdom, constituted or regulated
by any Act of Parliament, royal charter, or letters patent/
issuing shares or stocks transferable by any deed or written
instrument, shall be null and void, unless such contract/
&c., shall set forth and designate in writing such shares'
stock, or interest by the respective number by which the
same aro distinguished on the register or books of the
banking company, or, where there is no register, then the
name of the proprietor; and any person, broker, or agent •
who shall wilfully insert any false entry of number or
name, shall be guilty of misdemeanour, and liable to fine
or imprisonment. All joint-stock banking companies are
now bound to show a list of shareholders to any registered
shareholder during business hours from ten to four o'cloclG
The act is not to extend to shares or stock in the Banks °f
England or Ireland.

THOMPSON'S PATENT REVOLVING TEA MIXER.-""
Yesterday a highly successful demonstration of the
capabilities of this now and very useful invention 109
given by the patentee at 18, St. Dnnstan's Hill, CRP
There was a very large number of persons connected •
with the tea trade resent, and much interest was ovine°
on the occasion, as it was publicly stated that the person
who could invent a machine for the purpose of perfectly
mixing black and green tea would be instrumental in
saving the lives of many now sacrificed in consequence of
the ill effects arising from the primitive means j'o
generally used for the purpose. It seems a simple matter
the mixing of tea, but when we for ono moment consider
that 102,000,0001b5. was consumed last year in thf
country the manual labour of mixing a great quantity $9.6
f
it must have been enormous. Mr. Thompson's machine
simple in the extreme ; it cannot be disarranged, n°
the whole of the skill required to effect the objae
is merely turning the handle of the machine
after the various descriptions of tea have WI
placed within it. Yesterday about 901bs. each of LAI'S,
and green tea were separately placed in the drum, Maki"
1801bs. in all, and in one minute the two sorts were coal
pletely and so thoroughly mixed as to call forth the e.';
tonishment and approbation of all present. The machlij.,
combines all the necessities for general use ; it is cheer:
portable, occupies but little space, and certainly effecti! e•
Mr. Thompson, who stated that it was the necessity of PL:
trade that compelled him to study the possibility of cone
strutting the machine, was warmly congratulated on t.'is
success of his invention by the company present, Nyblea
was composed principally of persons who fully understcv
and appreciated the value of the new machine.
