MARKETS.—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were quiet for
wheats, and prices were rather drooping. Barley ruled
steady, and oats fairly supported late rates. Beans and
peas were dull, on former terms. The flour trade was dull,
at late rates.

In France the wheat trade is firm, at fully the late ad-
vance in prices. In other parts of the continent the corn
trade generally rules quiet. Very little business continues
to be done in wheat and flour at New York for shipment
to this country.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on offer. The
demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, and a decline of
is to 2s per quarter• took place in the quotations.
The trade for all qualities of wheat was very dull, and
prices, as comprred with Monday last, showed a decline of
2s. per quarter.

But moderate supplies of English grain were received up
to our market last week. The import from abroad con-
sisted of 15,650 quarters of wheat, 800 barley, 140,737 oats,
1,607 beans, 1,740 peas, 24 linseed, 3,924 rape and oilseeds,
2,300 maze, and 887 sacks of flour.

The market for linseed and rapeseed was firm at hill
currencies. Tares were dull, and most other seeds met a

slow sale.

There was a moderato demand for cakes, at quito late
rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW STREET.

SCENES AT TILE FIRE IN HoixoßN.—Steplion Head, a
workman (eight months employed at Messrs. Holland and
Henderson) was charged with assaulting Polito-constable
E 77.

The constable stated that at about half-past 1 o'clock,
while the fire was raging, he was on duty at the gates of
Messrs. Holland's premises. The prisoner was trying to
force his way in. Witness told him that he could not pass
in. The prisoner said, " Who aro you ?" and struck him.
Witness took him io custody. He was drunk
This was corroborated by Police-constable E 138. The
prisoner resisted violently, and it was only by the assistance
of a third constable that they were able to remove him,
the difficulty being increased by the density of the crowd
through which they had to take him.

Frank Henley, an engine driver in the same line, said
the prisoner, who was perfectly sober, was assisting in re-
moving the workmen's tools for safety, when the police-
man (E 77) came up and knocked him down. Ile then
said to the other constable, "He is drunk, d-- him ; let
us run him in." The policeman seemed to witness to be
the worse for liquor.

E 77, cross-examined the witness, and observed that it
was very strange that the prisoner himself had not men-
tioned the assault.

The prisoner's foreman spoke to•his good character, and
proved that he was sober when he helped to remove a tool-
box about the time stated. He had been a teetotaller for
two years.

Inspector Griffith said the constable had been several
years in the force, and was a very well conducted man.
He was certainly not in the habit of using such language
as was imputed to him. If he had been intoxicated the
charge would not have been taken, but he would have
been detained. The general instruction to the police was
to admit freely any person claiming to be workmen em-
ployed at the building, and having that appearance. But
as men took advantage of this to get in though not em-
ployed there the police had a very difficult task to per-
form.

Mr. Flowers said after the good character which had
been given to the prisoner, he should certainly not detain
him any longer. If the prisoner considered himself
aggrieved it would be for him "to take steps towr.rds
further inquiry.

A youth named George White was charged with at-
tempting to pick pockets in the crowd at the fire. His
master, an upholsterer 'gave him an excellent sharacter,
and was bail for his appearance for further examination
on a future day.

Edward Price was charged with being concerned with
others in stealing an umbrella from Mr. Wood, a barrister.
The complainant was set upon by the prisoner and some
half dozen others, who rifled his pockets and tore his
umbrella from his hands. In the struggle the handle of
the umbrella was broken off and remained in Mr. Wood's
hands. He used it as a weapon of defence, and succeeded
in driving some of the men off. Policeman Cawell came
to the prosecutor's assistance, but was much impeded by
the mob, some of whom shouted " give it the - give
them Hyde-park." When he did come up the men wont
off, but the prisoner, after a chase, was overtaken, and by
thehelp of Costello, 538, was removed to the station. Pre-
vious to entering the crowd Mr. Woods had put his watch
and chain in his pocket, so that no one should be tempted
by seeing the chain. Although the prisoner actually had
his hand in that pocket he did not succeed in getting the
watch or anything else from him. He lost a pin in the
scuffle, but. would not say who took it. The prosecutor
was repeatedly struck, and twico " bonnetted" by the
prisoner and his companions. He was remanded for further
inquiry.
John Mackay, of 8, Museum-street, baker, was charged
with assaulting P. C. Hiscock, B 51, and John Whitter,
a carpenter, also of 8, Museum-street.
The prisoner is a journeyman baker, employed as above
living in the house. Ho had been engaged while the
fire was at its height in removing goods from the house ;
but when the fire abated he was told to discontinue, as
there was no longer any danger. By this time, however,
he had taken too much brandy, and had got into an obsti-
nate temper. He persisted in removing boxes from Whit-
ter's room, in., spite of the latter's remonstrances. The
constable then spoke to him, and tried to persuade him
to go away or be quiet. He struck the officer a violent
blow in the face, blacking both his eyes at once. Whitter
came to the constable's assistance, when the prisoner set
upon him_and struck him in the face, knocking one of his
teeth out. The tooth was produced in court by Whitter.
The prisoner said ho was instructed by a young woman
who lived in the house to remove a box belonging to her.
Whitter said that was true, but it was some time before,
and the prisoner had been told that it was no longer neces-
sary as the danger was over. But he was too obstinate to
listen to reason.

The prisoner admitted that he was drunk.
Mr. Flowers fined him .£5 for each assault, or, in default,
two months imprisonment.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF CRAVEN.

On Saturday morning last, at half-past 10 o'clock, at
Scarborough, expired William Craven, Earl of Craven, in
the county of York, Viscount Uffington, and Baron Craven,
of Hamsted Marshall, Berks, Recorder of Coventry, and
High Steward of Newbury. The deceased left town about
a month since for Scarborough, in apparently good health,
and had resided there till the 19th inst., when symptoms
of diabetes and paralysis exhibited themselves. His lordship
during the week slightly improved, but on Saturday morn-
ing early the medical attendants witnessed signs of a speedy
dissolution, and immediately telegrams were transmitted
to his friends to announce his dangerous condition. About
10 o'clock his case was considered hopeless, and after great
suffering his lordship eventually succumbed to the fright-
ful malady. Several years ago his lordship suffered from
an attack of paralysis, from which he almost recovered,
although in a very delicate state of health.
His lordship was born on July 18, 1809, and succeeded
to the title on the 30th of July, 1823, being then in the
17th year of his ago. He was educated at Eton, and after-
wards took degrees at Oxford. Being of rather retired
habits, he eschewed politics, and entered with great zeal
into those sports which arealmost hereditary in the family.
Coursing and angling were his favourite pastimes, the
principal arena of his pleasures being Ashdown Park,
where he established coursing grounds, which, perhaps,
are not to be equalled in England. His lordship was also
a lover of horseflesh, keeping up splendid stables, but
merely for private purposes, although, we believe, ho had
au interest with Mr. Popham in Wild Dayrell for the Derby
in 1855, winning a considerable sum over the event. The
late Earl had a high opinion of the well known Mr.
Saxon's judgment, and always invested a poney on any of
his good things.
The family of Craven settled at Appletree-Nvick in Craven,
Yorkshire, at an early period. William Craven, eldest son
of Sir Wm. Craven, Knight, who was Lord Mayar of Lon-
doe in 1611, having distinguished himself in military ser-
vice, received the honour of knighthood on his return to
his native country, on March 4, 1626, eight days afterwards
being elected to the peerage by letters patent as Baron
Craven of Hamsted Marshal. He afterwards advanced to
the dignities of Viscount Craven of Uffington and Earl
Craven of Yorkshire.

The late nobleman married in 1835 Lady Emily Mary
Grimston, second daughter of the first Earl of Verulam,
by whom he had a numerous family—four sons and five
daughters—Wm. A. F. Viscount Uffington, born 1838, died
1865 ; Hon. George Grimston, born 1841, now Earl of Cra-
ven ; Hon. Osbert William, born 1848 ; Hon. Robt. Wal-
ter, born 1850, died on the Mexican coast last March ; Lady
Elizabeth, born 1836, married Viscount Grey de Wilton ;
Lady Evelyn Mary, born 1839, married in 1862 George
John Bruce ; Lady Blanche, born 1842, married to the
Earl of Coventry; Lady Beatrix Jane, born 1844, married
to Viscount Chelsea; and Lady Emily Georgina, born
1846, unmarried.

His lordship is succeeded in the family honours and
estates by his second son, the Hon. George Grimston Cra-
ven, Captain in the Scots Fusilier Guards, whose elder
brother died April, 1865.
The Countess of Craven, Lady Emily Craven, Viscount
and Viscountess Chelsea, and Hon. Osbert Craven, were
present at the demise of the earl. Viscount Uffington, the
Earl and Countess of Coventry, and Lady Eveline Bruce
have arrived at tho Royal Hotel.
By this sad event a great number of distinguished fami-
lies are placed in mourning.
