BOROUGH HOP.

The present genial weather is producing a more bene-
ficial effect upon the hop plant, and accounts from the
various plantations report steady progress. Fresh attacks
of fly have been noticed in some districts, but, on the
whole, there is a fair prospect of a fine average crop. There
is little business passing, as buyers are unwilling to in-
crease their stocks, nevertheless late rates aro freely main-
tained.

MARK-LANE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily!supplied with wheat, which moved off steadily, on
rather higher terms. in the value of spring corn and
flour very little change took place. .

Throughout the Continent very high prices continue to
be realised for wheat, and most other articles. The ship-
ments of produce from America are still limited.
The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon-
don last weak amounted to 26,297 quarters of wheat ;
7,083 barley ; 46,230 oats ; 2,295 rye ; 2,170 beans ; 365
peas; 4,013 rapeseed; 813 maize; 320 sundry ; and 725
sacks of flour.

A v.ry limited quantity of English wheat was received
fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The at-
tendance of millers was limited ; yet factors demanded an
advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of
from is. to 2s. per quarter. So little business was trans-
acted, however, that the rise was not supported.
There was a fair quantity of foreign wheat on offer. A
few fine parcels changed hands at ls. to 2s. per quarter
more money co.apared with this day se'nnight ; but the
improvement was by no means general.
The inquiry for floating cargoes of grain was steady
at very full prices.

Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but
the supply of foreign was good. 'rho barley trade was
ar from active, nevertheless the quotations were well

supported.

Malt was in full average supply and sluggish request,
at late rates.

Although tho show of foreign oats was extensive, tho
oat trade was steady, and good sound corn was the turn

dearer.

Beans commanded extreme rates, with a moderate
demand. The supply of English was limited.
The transactions in peas were limited. Prices, how-
ever, were well supported.
Both English and foreign flour was held for more
money. Town made advanced 3s. per 2801bs.
Linseed was inactive, at late rates; but rapeseed com-
manded full prices. Cakes and agricultural seeds were in
full inquiry.

The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir-
culation of the private and joint-stock banks in England
and Wales for the four weeks ending the 30th of March.
These returns, combined with the circulation of the Scotch

culation of the Bank of England for the four weeks ended
the 27th of March (the nearest date furnished by their
returns), will give the following results of the circulation
of notes in the United Kingdom when compared with the

Mr. A. J. Otway and his Constituents.

On Saturday evening Mr. Arthur J. Otway, the
member for Chatham, addressed a crowded meet-
ing of his constituents in that borough, on Reform
and the other leading topics of the day. The chair
was taken by Mr. J. Baird, who briefly opened the
proceedings by alluding to the services rendered by
Mr. Otway since he had been returned as the repre-
sentative of that borough.

Mr. OTWAY, who met with a very warm and
cordial reception, said, since last he had the honour
of addressing the electors of Chatham, the Tory
Adininistration had undertaken to deal with the
all-engrossing question of Reform, after defeating
the former Ministry because they had attempted to
settle that question, and had brought in a bill which
from its crude state and the unsatisfactory nature
of its leading provisions would still longer postpone
the final settlement of this great question. The
course pursued on this question by the Conserva-
tive party, in first opposing the moderate and emi-
nently satisfactory bill of the late Government, and
then attempting to legislate on this question in the
manner they had, was most dishonest, the result
being that that party had done more to bring Par-
liament into contempt than anybody of men since
the corrupt days of Walpole and Pelham. That
party had succeeded in ejecting Mr. Gladstone from
power, and had brought in a measure which, if the
Liberals did their duty, as he hoped they would,
could be made to go very much further than any-
thing proposed by the late Ministry. In its present
State the bill of the Tory Government would have
an inappreciable effect in enlarging the borough con-
stituencies, and, while it unsettled everything, would,
so far from settling the Reform question, cause a
renewal of the agitation to a greater extent than be-
fore. The amendments on the bill proposed by Mr.
Gladstone had been defeated by a majority of those
who had deserted from the Liberal ranks, and what-
ever their motives might have been for that course
certainly their logic, when they were properly called
to account by their constituents, was most defective.
lie observed that his excellent friend, Mr. Bass,
grounded his reasons for supporting the bill on the
circumstance that the bill was so thoroughly bad he
thought it better to vote for it in the hope of mak-
ing it better. The time for the question of rating;
composition rates, and other matters of that kind
was now gone by, and the best course for the Liberal
party to adopt was to show their loyalty to the con-
stitution and propose household suffrage, pure and
simple. Ile believed that such a measure would
settle this question for some time to come, and surely
there was nothing iu the conduct or proceedings of
the working classes to make them at all distrustful
01 them. The Conservative party treated the ad-

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on sale
here to-day. The demand for most kinds ruled very in-
active, at barely stationary prices.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were on the increase, and for the most part in
excellent condition. The attendance of buyers was
limited. Prime Scots and crosses were in fair request, at
prices equal to Monday last. Inferior stock moved off
slowly, and, in some instances, the quotations wore a shade
lower than on this day se'ennight. The top figure was ss.
per Blbs. From Norfolk-, Suffolk, Ersex, and Cambridge-
shire we received about 1,610 Scots, short horns and
crosses ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds;
and from Scotland, 283 Scots and crosses.

We were seasonably well supplied with sheep both as to
number and quality. On the whole, the trade was inactive ;
nevertheless very little change took place in the quota-
tions. The best Downs and Crosses, in the wool, sold at
ss. 10d. ; out of the wool, ss. per 81bs.
Lambs, were in fair average supply, and steady request,
at full quotations, viz., from 7s. to Bs. per Blbs. About
250 arrived from the Isle of Wight.

There was a steady sale for calves, at very full prices
The top figure was 6s. per 81hs.
The inquiry for pigs was in a sluggish state, at last
week's quotations.

p ofn the
Minister, referring to the request for permission to
put questions made by Messrs. Jules Favre, Picard,
Malezieux, J. Simon, and Bethmont, said that the
Government earnestly desired to explain to the
public authorities and the country all the facts
relative to Luxembourg, and if such explanations
had been possible they would have been made from
the 'Tribune. As, however, negociations favour-
able to the maintenance of peace were in progress,
and were proceeding actively on the part of the
Great Powers, such a situation imposed upon the
Government of the Emperor the greatest reserve,
and it therefore did not think it its duty to assume
the responsibility of a premature public discussion
(Very well, very well.) "It was with regret that
in the presence of the natural excitement of public
opinion the Government proposed the adjournment
of that discussion. But the Legislative Body had
too much experience iu diplomatic affairs not to
approve of this line of conduct. The Government,
however, is resolved to bring this important subject
before the Chamber as soon as circumstances shall
permit." (Renewed and loud applause.) M. Jules
Favre said that all he had to request was that the
Government would not take any definitive resolu-
tion upon the subject without consulting the
Chamber. M. Glais-Bizoin—Don't do as you did
in regard to Mexico. (Noise.) The Siecle, refer-
ring to the exciting and bellicose tone of the
German papers, says :—" It would be a dangerous
illusion if beyond the Rhine the pacific addresses
which are signed at Paris shall be interpreted as
manifestations of a desire for peace at any price.
France has many times proved in the most forcible
manner that war, even against a coalition, has
nothing to frighten her. This is why she can, with
dignity, speak of peace and conciliation without
any fear that har influence will suffer. Neverthe-
less, as German vanity seems to have risen t.)
a pitch much too high, it is well to advise our Ger-
' man brothers not to make any mistake upon the
subject. We wish for peace, but we want a peace
honourable and worthy of two great Powers who
profess to esteem each other mutually. It is, there-
fore, important that the.,e pacific manifestations
should not be without fruit, and that Germany
should respond to theca. In the question which so
unfortunately divides the two peoples France will
exhibit a conciliatory disposition. The neutraliza-
tion of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg proposed,
as it appears, by the neutral Powers may be adopted
by as perfectly honourable a solution. It should
be understood in Germany that this is a serious
confe,,sion on our part. As a strict international
right, there is nothing to prevent France from
legitimately acquiring Luxembourg. If we re-
nounce the right in order to save Aociety from the

IVES "MINSTER.

AN INHUMAN WItETCII. - Anne Williams, a dirty-look-
ing woman, with a black eye, was charged with the fol-
lowing most inhuman conduct :—Mr. William Deacon, of
the Prince of Wales' public-house, York-street, West-
minster, said—Last night this woman came into my bar,
and began quarrelling with a number of persons. I
ordered her out, hut she refused to go for some time, and
then she would not take sway a child that she had with
her. A woman catno in and took the child up, and pri-
soner rein:tined at the bar for some time making a dis-
turbance. She then took the infant from the woman by
ono arm, and threw it on the pavement, as though it was
a cat or a dog. I went to look for a constable. She took
the child up in her arms, and I followed her. Then she
took the child's clothes up and whipped ils bottom
severely. Just as a constable was in sight, she threw the
child on the pavement again and kicked it.
Mr. Selfe : What state was she in ?

Complainant : Drunk ; but she had nothing to drink in
ray house.
Defendant—l went to look after the father of my child,
who has only given me fourpence for ten weeks, and then
I was attacked by him and beaten.
➢ir. Selfe—What has that got to do with this brutal
treatment to your child ?
Defendant—l am sure I use it very well.
Mr. Solfe—By throwing it down on the pavement and
beating and kicking it ?
Defendant—lf it was on the pavement it must have fell
while I was being ill used.
Complainant—There was nobody near her at the time
sho did it. She was not being ill used in any way.

Mr. Selfe—What is the age of the child ?
Defendant—Two years and a half. I ant sure 1 take
every care of it.
A person from the workhouse produced the child, and
said that when it was brought in it kept putting its hand
to the side of its head. It had no bruises about it.

Mr. &lie —lf you have any claim, defendant, on the
father of the child for its maintenance, yon must prosecute
in the usual way. You aro a disgusting woman, and aro
committed for three weeks to hard labour.

INDIA AND CHINA.

By overland mail we have papers from Bombay
to the 3d inst., and from Hong-Kong to the 15th ult.
'We extract the following items of news from the
Bombay Gazette :
" The latest London date via Indo-European line
is the 23d ult. We have had no messages through
since the 28th March.
" The weather continues warm, and the state of
the public health in Bombay is satisfactory.
" A requisition is in circulation to the sheriff of
Bombay to call a public meeting of the inhabitants
to protest against the License Tax Act.
" A heavy gale passed over Calcutta on the 24th
ult. which did some damage to buildings and to the
small craft in the river.
" A disastrous storm (a regular cyclone) occurred
in Berar on the 23d ult. ; it travelled at the rate of
50 miles an hour, and very nearly in the direction
of the line of rail from Akule to Oomrawattee and
Nagpore ; it was succeeded by a heavy fall of rain.
" It is reported that Toungsoo Penlow, with some
five or six of the chiefs, has assembled a large force
in Bhootan, and is marching on Poonakha with the
object of acting against the Deb Rajah.
" A public meeting was held in Calcutta on the
27th ult., when an emphatic protest was made
against Mr. Massy's licence tat as being unjust in
principle and partial in operation, burdening in-
dustrial incomes, and exempting vested wealth; a
memorial to the Secretary of State was approved.

" Sir William Mansfeld and the heads of the
military department are to leave Calcutta for Simla
on the 4th instant.

"Shere Ali Khan is said to be making great en-
deavours to recruit his forces to the westward of
Cabul, and as he is supported by the warlike tribes
about Herat his prospects are not considered alto-
gether hopeless.
" It is now said that the Russian general on the
Bokharian frontier, on hearing that the Government
of India had decided not to interfere in the affairs
of Bokhara, has deprived the King of all his digni-
ties, and reduced him to the position of one of the
principal officers of the new Russian state.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE AT A CAFE.—Mary Jones, a stylishly-attired
young woman, was cuarged before Mr. Mansfield with
being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Joseph Barber,
porter at a café, No. 63, Haymarket, and Charles Adams,
a young man residing at No. 22, Great Percy-street, Pen-
tonville, was charged with attempting to rescue Jones
from the custody of the police.
_

Joseph Barber, porter at a café, No. 63, Haymarket, said
that, shortly after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, the pri-
soner Jones came to the café, and directly after she came
in she kicked up a disturbance. A s she refused to leave
when requested he was obliged to get the assistance of
the police, when she became very violent, upset all the
chairs in the room, threw herself down, and bit his hand.
While the constable was trying to take her to the station
a number of persons surrounded him, knocked off his hat,
and Adams tried to rescue her from the constable.
In reply to Mr. Mansfield, the witness said the female
had been drinking, but well know what she was about
Adams was sober, and said when he took hold of the female
that she should not go to the station.
Adams denied saying the femala prisoner should not go
to the station.

Jones said she did not remember anything till she was
brought to the court.
Jeremiah Mead, 126 C, proved seeing the female prisoner,
who was very violent, bite Barber's hand. As soon as he
got outside the cafe door a mob got round them, his hat
was knocked off, and Adams tried to get the female pri-
soner away from him by striking him on the arms and
pulling her away. While at the station the female prisoner
struck him two or three times in the face.
Adams denied striking the constable.
William Mickleborough, 307 A, said he was present in
the station when Adams was brought in, wearing at the
time the red and black shawl Jones was wearing in court.
He saw Jones strike the last witness in tho face.
Adams said that seeing the female:being roughly handled
he put his arm round her waist, and said ho would put her
into a cab, and get her away, but he did not know at the
time that she was in custody or ho would not have inter-
fered. Somebody knocked the constable's hat off, and then
the constable charged him with attempting to rescue his
prisoner. He denied striking the constable.
Mr. Mansfield said the female visoner, who had acted
very badly, and been the cause of the affair, would be fined
£5 or a mouth, and Adams, who had acted very foolishly
would have to pay 40s. or a month.

GUN CLUB.

The weather being favourable a large muster of the
members of this club met at their shooting-ground,
Shepherd's-bush, on Saturday last, and during the after-
noon no less than nine one sovereign sweepstakes were

FRANCE.

BOURSE, April 27.—The pacific nature of the
telegram we published yesterday from Vienna con-
cerning the probable early assembling of a Congress
on the Luxembourg difficulty, coupled with the still
more reassuring despatch from the same city, to the
effect that Prussia is disposed to evacuate the
fortress, and to place it under the collective protec-
tion of the guaranteeing Powers, has had the effect
which might have been expected on the mar-
kets for stocks and shares. The unanimity of
the desire felt that the question which has so
long and so heavily weighed upon all the
markets of Europe might eventually receive a peace-
ful solution is fully evidenced by the almost wild
excitement of which the Bourse is the scene to-day.

ing of business, and all classes of Securities partici-

SIR FAIRFAX MORESBY.— It would seem that
Mr. Corry is resolved not to look upon mere senio-
rity as a recommendation for either promotion or reward.
It was:generally believed in professional circles that Ad-
miral Sir G. R. Sartorious would have succeeded the late
Admiral Sir Phips Hornby as Rear-Admiral of the -United
Kingdom; but on comparing the services of the different
officers it was found that Admiral Moresby had such supe-
rior claims that they could not bo ignored, and it was
therefore, resolved to pass over Sir George and Lord Fitz-
hardinge, and to appoint Sir Fairfax to the distinguished
vacant post. We cannot cavil at the determination which
the First Lord arrived at, and it is to be hoped that during
the time he holds office he will continue to pursue an
equally distinguished course.—Army and Navy Gazette. •

Mr. Simon Lamb, a barrister, residing at 1, Paper
Buildings, Temple, was charged with being drunk- and
behaving in an extraordinary manner i❑ Bow-street.
Edward Pa rsell, 113 F, deposed that about half-past
two o'clock this morning he was on duty in front of
Bow-street Police-station. His attention was called to
two yOung women who were running up Bow-street
screaming and shouting for help. The prisoner was
chasing them, calling out "that. ho was the Devil." This
frightened them very much. The two women on per-
ceiving witness ran to him for protection, but the prisoner
still persisted in chasing them round the constable, and said
"that ho would not bo interfered with, as ho was the
Devil." The prisoner at last became so very disorderly that
witness was compelled to take him to the station-house.
The two young women had signed the charge sheet
but had failed to attend this morning to prosecute.

In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he was
very sorry, and that he he had ;been drinking and got
very drunk, but did not remember,anything of the occur-
rence.

Mr. Flowers—l suppose that the girls really thought
that he was the Devil? (Laughter.)
Witness—Yes, your worship, I think they did by the
way they ran and screamed. _ _

Mr. Flowers —Well, if he had been the Devil, it would
have been a very fortunate capture. (Loud laughter.) But
as it is I shall fine him les. or 7 days' imprisonment.

Another of these discreditable affairs, which have
tended of late years to throw discredit on the

of the candidates for the champion's belt,

the backers of Wormalii claimed the stakes. The
reason given for Baldwin not being present is that
he missed the train at London-bridge, and tried
by other means to reach his destination. Baldwin,

FREEMASONRY IN SCOTLAND.- —The ceremony of
laying the foundation stone of the Bt. Andrew's College
Hall was performed on Friday by Mr. J. Whyte-Melville,
Grand Master Mason of Scotland. The purpose of this
ball, which is built by a company formed six years ago,
is to afford a residence for young men attending the Uui•
versity of St, Andrew's,
