A DOMESTIC TYRANT.-401111 Martz, a German shoe-
maker, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with vio-
lently assaulting Sarah Luss.
The complainant, who carried a baby in her arms, said
she had cohabited with the prisoner for some time, and had
given birth to two children. Ho was a very good man
when sober, but he was too frequently intoxicated, and
then he was furious and cruel. He came home last night
very drunk, and he scolded and swore at her little boy, and
threatened to beat him. She took the boy away. He then
threw the baby downstairs. She recovered the baby,
which was not hurt. He laid hold of her by the hair of the
head and struck her. She escaped from him, reached the
street, and called for the police.
Mr. Benson—Why don't you leave him ?

Witness—l have left him several times, and he has come
after me again. Ile drinks very hard, and I can't got rid
of him.

Joseph Newman, a police constable, No. 146 11, stated
that he had often seen the complainant in the streets all
night after being turned out a her dwelling by her brutal
paramour. This morning, at half-past one o'clock, the
woman complained of the violence done to her. The
prisoner immediately rushed out of his house in Morton-
place, St. George-in-the-East, with a knife in his hand.
The prisoner advanced towards him with his knife. Ho
took his truncheon from his pocket and said to him, "If
you advaneo another step with that knife I will murder
you." The prisoner was terrified at the sight of the
truncheon, and dropped the knife.
Mr. Wintjen, interpreter to the court, translated the
evidence to the prisoner, who said, in the German
language, "It's all true; 1 was drunk and could not help
it."

Mr. Benson desired the interpreter to state to the pri-
soner that he had not only been guilty of acts of violence
this morning, but he had been guilty of repeated acts of
violence, and if he was brought to that court again for
similar misconduct he would be very severely punished.
Ho should require the prisoner to find sureties to keep the
peace for three months, and if he could not do so he would
be imprisoned for 14 days.

OOLONIAL.

TEA. —T here has been another arrival of the new sea-
son's crop, but business has been rather inactive, and the
prices obtained for superior qualities are unsatisfactory to
importers. A considerable quantity is announced for
public competition to-day. . _

SUGAR. —The market has shown symptoms of returning
animation, and good grocery qualities of West India have
been in request at full values. In refined goods a moderate
amount of business has been entered into, without any
material change in values.

RICR.—A good business has been done in cleaned
descriptions, at fully previous prices.

COTTON. —A steadier tone has prevailed, and a moderate
business has been entered into at prices a littlo above the
latest depressed quotations.

Covris.—Bus4tess has been inactive, and prices gener-
ally show no material variation. Tho stocks on hand,
compared with those of the corresponding period of last
year, show an increase of 5,100 tons.
TALLOW.—There has been more fluctuation on the
Tallow Market during the past week, and an advance of
6s per cwt. was at one time obtained, owing chiefly to the
importers unwillingness to sell. At the close of the week,
however, the market was not sustained, and consequently
gave way to nearly its original position.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET---This Day.

The Market opens with good inquiry. Steady
rates. Sales probably fully 10,000 bales.

clergy. Meanwhile a procession was formed, and the " Veni
Creator Spiritus" having been sung, the Synod was for
mally opened. After the various ceremonies the laity had
to withdraw from the church, the deliberations being con-
ducted in secret. These are understood to consist of mat-
ters exclusively diocesan. •

of monument to the famous navigator who perished

propriate inscription ; the height of the whole, 16 feet. It
is to be built of the lava stone found on the spot. The
