The broken chair was proiuced, and Mr. Living-
ston, the chief usher of the court, said the medical
certificate stated that the woman's scalp was lace-
rated.

Isaac Pawsay, a police constable, No. 485 K,
stated that he found the old woman on the floor
weltering in her blood. The prisoner was seated on
a chair only partially dressed, and Enid the old
woman aggravated him.

The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly,
said the prosecutrix abused him.
Mr. Paget said the pri,oner had committed a

most savage and brutal assault on the old woman,
and sentenced him to four months'imprisonment and
hard labour, and to find bail to keep the peace for
four months longer. The sureties were to be pro-

ided after the imprisonment expired, and if the
risoner could not find bail, he would be detained in

COTTON SUPPLY ASSOC' .1710 N.

At the meeting of the executive committee, oil

Tuesday, a letter was read from the honorary
agents of the association, Bombay, reporting that
they had distributed some New Orleans, Sea
Island, and Peruvian seed, forwarded to them,
according to the directions of the Cotton Com-
missioner, and stating that it is in contempla-
tion to hold an agricultural exhibition at Broach
next season, with a view specially to encou-
rage the growth of cotton. The Revenue Com-
missioner of the northern division of the
presidency, who has charge of the arrangements
for the intended exhibition, proposes to grow dif-
ferent kinds of cotton in the neighbourhood, to ex-
hibit machinery suited to agricultural purposes, and
to show samples of cotton from all parts of the
world. The assistance of the association in pro-
moting the objects of the exhibition has been
solicited, and will readily be afforded. Commu-
nications were received from the cotton com-
missioner for the central provinces and the berars,
India, together with the samples of cotton grown
during the last season in the Wurdah (Hinglien-
gaut) district from acclimatised New Orleans seed.
It is intended to send some additional samples of the
exotic cotton grown in the central provinces, and to
supply full details of experiments made with foreign
seed, and of the efforts to improve the indigenous
varieties. The cotton has been nearly all cleared
away from the railway stations, but the loss, in-
convenience, and anxiety occasioned by the accu-
mulation and block of cotton have been very great.
An improved system has been adopted, so that
next season the difficulties and troubles will not
be so great. Much has been done for improv-
ing the market places, and encouraging the setting
up of machinery, fresh supplies of exotic seed
have been procured, and the fields for new ex-
periments have been chosen with great care.
Attention has also been given to the improve-
ment of the indigenous plant, and good results
are anticipated. A Consular report, forwarded by
the Foreign Office, was received from her Majesty's
Acting Consul at Ningpo, China, upon the cultiva-
tion of cotton in that district. Adcording to the
native Gazetter, Chekiang contains about 85,000
square miles, and it is believed that cotton is culti-
vated over about half, such cultivation being of
course very partial. There is no practical limit to
the extent of land suitable for the growth of cotton,
and did sufficient demand exist all the plains could
be devoted to the cultivation. Cotton flourishes on

the alluvial plains which have been left by the great
rivers of the province. The best is grown near the
sea; no land has been reclaimed during the last three
years, the people not having yet recovered from the
effects of the civil war. An experiment made with
some American cotton seed sent out by the associa-
tion has not been successful. It was planted in
gardens, in ordinary cotton fields, and in sheltered
positions on islands, but only few plants sprung up,
and the flowers from them ft.:ll off as soon as formed.
From experiments tried elsewhere it is believed that
American seed does not answer, as the flowers al-
ways drop off. The American war gave a great
impulse to the production of cotton, but the imports
to_ Europe having now nearly ceased, the supply
is falling off every season. The country being
thickly populated, there is no trouble in obtain-
ing agricultural labourers, who are usually paid

101. per day, and, under ordinary circumstances,
7kd. or Bd. per Pound for cotton would be remune-
rative to the growers. The crop this year is ex-
pected to be fully as large as the last. The depu-
tation appointed to present a memorial to the Se-
cretary of State for India, urging the adoption of
further measures, already proved to be successful,
for extending and improving the growth of cotton
inlndia,reported that they had a satisfactory inter-
view with Sir Stafford Northcote on Friday, May
24, and that he promis3l to give the recommenda-
tions of the Association his best attention.—lt was
resolved to present the medal of the Association to
several individuals who have rendered valuable ser-
vice in connection' with cotton cultivation in
Turkey.—This concluded the busines3.

MARKETS.--This day.

MARK LANE.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Eng-
lish wheat, for which the demand ruled inactive. How-
ever, Monday's prices were supported. The general qua-
lity of the supply was tolerably good.

There was about an avorag3 show of foreign wheat.
Good and fine qualities found buyers at full quotations;
but all other kinds were very dull at barely late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain wore inactive.
The barley trade was steady at quite last week's prices.
In malt very little was passing at previous quotations.
The arrivals were tolerably extensive.
The oat trade was firm, but no advance took place in the
quotations.
Beans were scarce, and quite as dear as on Monlay.
The sale for peas was inactive at previous rates.
We have no change to notice in the value of flour.
Seeds and cakes were a slow inquiry.

CHIGNONS. —Tile sobriquet of Chignon is new,
but the idea is scarcely a novel one. What after all is
new, as some one recently observed, except " hair-brush-
ing. by machinery and underground railroads?" We find,
however, that this elaborate padding is but an old fashion
revived, for it is record!)d that in the reign of Charlos 11.
"the hairdress of the ladies was very elaborate; it was not
only curled and frizzled with the nicest art, but it was also
set off with certain artificial curls, then too emphatically
known by the pathetic terms of heartbreakers and love-
locko.' "—The Technologist.
