WIFE BEATlNG.—Jonathan Carr, a tall young ma; was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with beating his wife,
Elizabeth, on whose head there was a very large wound
covered with a surgical plaister.
The parties have been married 16 months, and their
union has been productive of nothing but unhappiness
owing to the general violence and bad temper of the pri-
soner. I.lo,has frequently ill-used her, and six weeks ago,
to use her own words, ho nearly killed her. He was at
work on board ship yesterday, and his wife, hearing that a
man had fallen from the deck into the held, and been
seriously injured, she went out in search of information,
and to ascertain whether her husband was the injured
party or not. At a late hour alto met with her hus-
band talking to a woman of disreputable character in
front of a public-house in Artichoke-hill, Ratcliff High-
way. Tho complainant spoke to him, and ho abused
her. She followed him to several public-housds,
and requested him to come home until twelve o'clock
at night, when ho Mused her in the street and tore
the clothes from her person. Ho was given into
custody and convoyed to a station-house. The inspector
on duty refused to entertain the charge, because there were
no marks of violence upon her, and advised her to apply to
a magistrate for a summons. She continued to watch the
movements of her husband for some time longer, until ho
escaped from her. She went home to her lodgings,
No. 3, Albert-terrace, Shadwell, and found her hus-
band lying on the bed with his clothes on. Ho got up im-
mediately, and commenced beating her. She called out
"Murder!" and attempted to escape from the follow by
running down stairs, but ho soon seized her, pulled her
back, and kicked her on the head so severely that blood
flowed copiously. A policeman who entered the prisoner's
apartment soon afterwards said it looked like a slaughter
house. .

The complainant was confirmed by Jane Matthews as to
all that occurred in the house.
Mr. Benson said the prisoner was guilty of wicked
cruelty to his wife, and his conduct towards her generally
was unmanly and brutal. He sentenced the prisoner to
ono month's imprisonment and hard labour, and to find
bail to keep the peace towards his wife and all other per-
sons.

X ARKE TS.--This day.

MARK LANE.

The arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent, both
coastwise and by rail, have only been moderate, but the
condition of the sample on offer was good. The demand
for both red and white qualities was inactive, at Monday's
decline in the quotations.

There was a fair show of foreign wheat, for which there
was little inquiry, at late rates.
Tho supply of barley continues limited, and values were
firmly supported.
An average business has boon doing in floating cargoes
of grain on previous terms.
Tho malt trade is dull, but we have ao change to report
in prices.
Oats were in good supply and sluggish request, and
prices had a downward tendency.
Beans and peas aro a slow sale, at late rates.
The market for seeds is dull. Tares and clover seeds
were in little inquiry, and rapeseed and linseed were less
firm. In cakes there is very little passing.
No alteration:took place in the value of either town or
country flour. The demand for all descriptions was heavy.
