There was a very limited show of Dutch stock here to-
day, but we had a good supply of beasts from Oporto for
the time of year.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up were seasonably extensive, and mostly in prime
condition. Owing to the large quantities of meat on offer
in Newgate and Leadenhall, the beef trade was in a most
depressed state ; indeed, this was one of the heaviest
trades we almost ever remember, and prices gave way, com-
pared with Mondry last, fully 2d per 81bs. A few few in-
ferior Sots realised 4s 2d, but the general top figure for
beef did not exceed Is per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,50) Scots and shorthorns; from
other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land, 540 Soots ; and from Ireland, 340 oxen, dro.
There wad a slight increase in the supply of most breeds
of sheep, the general quality of which was good. The
mutton trade ruled heavy in the extreme, at a fall in the
quotations of 2d per Blbs. The highest value of Downs in
the wool was ss; out of the wool, 4s 21b per 81bs. Long-
woolled wether shorthorns went at barely 4s, and ewes
3s 6d per Sibs.
The demand for lambs ruled inactive, at from 6s to 7s
per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 70 head came to bawl.
Although the supply of calves was very limited, the
veal trade ruled heavy, at Friday's decline in value of 4d
per 81bs. The top price was 5s per Blbs.
For pigs there was scarcely any demand, and our quo-
tations must be considered nominal.

BOROUGH HOP.
We have a moderate inquiry for Weald of Kent and
Sussex pockets of last year's growth, at full prices. All
other hops are very dull, and the quotations are barely
supported. No foreign hops arrived last week.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Rather increased supplies of both English and Scotch

Mr. Lawrance supported, but on the application of
the assignees an adjournment t Kok place, as they wore
not satisfied with the bankrupt's statement.

His Honour ordered an adjournment for two months.

IN RR F. G. HYDER.

This bankrupt wai described as of Bayswater, grocer,
and to-day came up to pass his last examivation.
The bankruptcy took place on the petition of the
bankrupt and by the act of Parliament it is requisite
that the bankrupt bliould have an estate of at least 150/ ,
and he had sworn to the fact of his estate being worth
that sum, but it had only realised 1461.
His Honour said that the bankrupt might pass his
examination, but he would not be allowed his certificate
until the full amount had been made up.
Mr. Pook, for the bankrupt, applied for an allowance.
His Honour said that would depend on whether the
amount was made up ; if so, it would be granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING A DETECTIVE. A young German girl,
named Fanny Wetterbaw, was placed before Mr. Jar-
dine, charged with robbing Thomas Stanford, a detec-
tive, in the City police-force of a silver watch.
The policeman stated that at about half-past 2 o'clock
this morning, shortly after leaving the Bow-lane station
he met the prisoner, who insisted on walking with
him for a short distance, He told her to go
away, but she continued walking by his side until
they arrived in Southampton-buildings. Having re-
mained a few minutes in cony reation with her, she bade
him good night, and was about leaving him when he dis-
covered he bad lost his watch. He charged the girl
with the robbery, and demanded the restoration of his
property, which he ftlt confident the girl had taken. She
produced the missing watch, but refused to return it
without he gave her two shillings. Finding it was im-
possible to obtain his watch, he called a constable and
gave the prisoner in charge.
The prisoner informed the magistrate in the German
language that this morning she met the gentleman on
Holborn-hill and walked w►th him &afar as Southampton-
buildings, and of ter passing some time in his company,
he ultimately promised to give her 2e. Before he made
the promise he gave her his watch to hold as a security.
She had not the slightest idea of robbing the
man, neither did she do so. Tile watch came into her
possession by the voluntary act of the complainant, and
she therefore refused to return it to him until he gave
her the two shillings he had promised her. The watch
she knew was not her property, and she did not wish to
retain it. _ _ _

The magistrate said as the prisoner did not rause to
give up the watch she might be discharged.

MARLBOROUGEI-STREET.

FRACAS IN THE RAYMARKET THEATRE.—theory Wel-
lington Valiance, a solicitor, was placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Beadou, on toe charge of committing an assault
on Mr. John Boyd Kinnear, barrister-w-kw, i Victoria-
road, Pimlico, on Saturday night, in the Haymarket
Theatre.

Mr. Kinnaer said—On Saturday night I was in the
pit stalls of the Haymarket Theatre, in the front row,
accompanied by my wife. The defendant was sitting
immediately behind, and in such a position as to press
his elbow into my wife's back. This happened twice,
but as he moved his elbow I took no notice of it; but
on its occurring again I touched his elbow to draw his
attention. I said " you are inconveniencing my wife."
He then took away his arm and commenced abusing me,
swearing and calling me a scoundrel. He also said,
" If I bad you outside I would smash your damned
head." S eing be was drunk I took no notice of
his language. While this was going on, I made use of
my opera-glass to look at some one in the bc,xes, and
while doing so I received a blow in the face, and the
opera-glass was knocked out of my hand. I rose and
called out for a constable, but none came. Mr. Buck-
stone, the lessee, then came forward, and said, "I) you
want a constable I" I said I did, and Mr. Bucketone
then sent one round. I told Mr. Bt-ckstone there was a
rer-;on not fit to be in the house, and the defendant was
then removed.

A gentleman who appeared for the defendant ra,d
everybody who knew the defendant knew him to be a
respectable man. He bad known him for come year',
and had never known such a thing to occur before. He
would suggest that an ample apology should be offered.
No one !wirer regretted it than the defendiint. Toe de-
fendant, ho would admit, was a little excited. He would
suggest that the matter might be settled in this way.
As far as tile opera-glass was concerned—
The defendant said perhaps he might be allowed to
state that he did not think at the time that he bad
touched the lady. At the time the complainant used
the opera-glass he presumed he did so derisively, and he
therefore felt annoyed. He felt excited at being con-
tradicted. _ . _

The complainant said he required no apology. He
woul i rather leave it to be settled by his worship as he
came forward considering public decency was outraged.
A gentliman said he witnessed the assault.
M. Beadon said the defendant (Hr. Valiance) was
not the person who he expected to do such a thing.
