MARKETS.---This Day.

~ .__._

MARI( LANb.

The leading country markets bold on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, which, with some few
exceptions, sold slowly on lower terms. All kinds of
spring corn as well as flour were very dull.
Throughout the Continent very little has been passing
in wheat on English account. The exports from America
continue on a limited scale.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. The imports from abroad were
13,060 quarters of wheat, 230 barley, 35,076 oats, 830
beans, 1,916 peas, 1,840 linseed, 5;7.94 rapeseed, 18,626
maiv., 300 sundries, 4,480 sacks and 1,850 barrels of flour.

. .
The trade for linseed ruled quiet at about late rates.
Rapeseed was firm, but for agricultural seeds the demand
was steady:
Cakes, although steady in price, commanded but little
attention.

There was I. falling off in the arrivals of English wheat
fresh up to our market to-day, as compared with Monday
last. The trad.., in consequence, exhibited a somewhat
firmer apparance, and at the commencement of business
both red and white produce was held at an advance in
prices of I.s. per quarter. The demand, however, was
without activity, and, for tho most part, saes progressed
slowly, at the prices of Monday last.
Foreign wheat was in good supply. The amount of
business transacted was only moderate. In prices no
change took place.
Foating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates
Bailey was in short supply. The trade was steady a
late rates.

Malt sold slowly at last week's currency.
The market was moderately supplied with oats. The
trade for all qualities ruled steady at late prices.-
Beans were in short supply. The demand ruled quiet
on former terms.

Peas changed hands at the prices of Monday last. The
market was scantily supplied.

There was a moderate demand for flour on former terms.
Mustard seed was very firm, and white qualities realised
as much as 20s. per bushel.

The supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was
rather extensive, but for the most part in middling condi-
tion. On the whole the trade ruled steady, at very full

prices.

Tho arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were only moderate. Those from Ireland and
Scotland were very limited. Prime beasts sold freely, at
at advance in the quotations compared with Monday last
of 2d. per 81bs. ; otherwise, the beef trade was inactive, at
late rates. The top quotation was 5s 8d per 81bs. The
general quality of the stock was by no means prime.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,100 Shorthorns, kc. ; from other
parts of England, 490 various breeds; from Scotland, 6
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 35 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was very moderate, and most breeds
came to hand in middling condition. All breeds were in
good request, at an improvement in value of quite 2d per
Blbs. A few very superior Downs realised 6s 6d, but the
general top figure was 6s 4d per 81bs.
We were but moderately supplied with calves, which
moved off freely, at 2d per 81bs more money. The'highest
quotation was 5s 4d per Blbs.
The pork trade was heavy, on former terms.
The lamb soason is now over. _ _

Foreign Correspondence on American

Aff Airs.

A writer in a contemporary says : —The foreign
correspondent ,of a journal should be a man
free from strong party prejudices, not belong-
ing to either of the sides which may divide the
nation he represents into two or more political par-
ties. If the . newspaper for which he writes be a
leading journal, tending powerfully to influence the
opinion of the country in which it is published, it is
still more important that its correspondent should
be free from party prejudices. lie ought fairly to
record the general tone of feeling of the mass of the
society in which he is placed. He ought truthfully,
without bias and without exaggeration, to state all
the facts. The object he should have in view is very
simple—to condense into a letter the leading events
which have occurred—the tendency of opinion
among the great body of the people—that his readers
may have a clear idea of what has occurred, and
may form a just conception of what may occur.
The correspondents- of the 7imes should, above all
men, be careful not to give way to party rancour,
nor attempt to lead in a party spirit the public of
England, because the Times is a great national jour-
nal, and the influence of its opinions is felt over the
length and breadth of the kingdom. Of all corre-
spondents the most careful to write in an unbiased
strain should be those who profess to give
the news and opinions of America. It should
never be forgotten that our language is the
same ; and that misrepresentation and rancorous
party spirit return to the country from which the
sentiments came, to ereate among the people bitter
feelings of irritation, and stir up bad blood among
those with whom it is of paramount importance no
other than feelings of good-will should prevail.
After the terrible blunders committed by the
Times, which tended so materially, by falie
information, to misdirect English public opinion
during the American War, it behoves the great
organ to be more than ordinarily careful in record-
ing the political events now coming to a crisis among
our American cousins. Its Philadelphia correspon-
dent is a red-hot Copperhead, and, as such, totally
unfitted to record truthfully and without colour the
absorbing questions now distracting the Union.
He represents merely a section of the opinion of
the North, and a large section of the opinion of the
South. Indeed, that body only who were totally
defeated in arms, and who, if their present policy
be persisted in, will in all probability receive a
second defeat, which will annihilate them for ever as
a party. if the English nation would exercise their
own judgment and bring its own common sense
to bear, and not be content to receive as undoubted
facts the opinions of a violent partisan—though he
may be a correspondent of the Times—there would
be litttle chance of it being again so disastrously
misled as to the real sentiments of the American
people. Let it consider the objects for which
the great contest was waged ; the obstinacy with
which it was fought out ; the people who fought it
out ; and it will see that a powerful spring moved.
the nation, and that an overwhelming power backed
that spring. What changes have occurred to
alter the state of affairs ? None whatever.
The weight of the highest official has given an un-
expected influence to the Democratic party, and
enabled them, by the aid of the South, to form a
strong combination in opposition to the Northern
sentiment which fought and conquered in the Four
Years' War. But this combination has not in
any way changed that sentiment. The North at this
moment is as determined to carry the policy for
which it fought as when it fought. And as a last
resort, it is prepared to impeach the PRESIDENT and
appeal to arms. The PRESIDENT, the Democrats,
and the South would be instantly swept away before
this party, when fairly roused. Indeed the power
to which we allude is something more than mere
party.. It is a national principle, backed by the
brain, bone, and sinew of the Northern States.
People who care little for Copperhead or Radical,
for Irish vote or German influence, for President
Jourrsorr as an individual or Congress as a body of
individuals, are prepared to uphold the principle,
for which the war was waged, the symbol of which
is the national flag,
and the ruling idea the great
and undivided Republican Union of America. The
mass of the people know that they are regarded with
hatred by the planters of the South. They know
that their object was to sever their States from the
't
ha insd objectthey biteplioevweerthwaetrethagesaeinpplalancteedrsiwn
tohuelidr
rUevniivoen
hands. The Democratic party is a noisy section of
politicians, with a great deal of froth, but with very
little substance. With the aid of the South they
ruled for many years in the Union, and the people
were content because the Union progressed in mate-
rial prosperity, and their great Republican tree grew
vigorously, throwing forward its boughs and
branches, as they delight to see it grow. That vast
silent mass remain quiescent, attending to their
own farms, shops, trades, and general business, so
long as the Republic progresses to their satisfaction.
But let this body once be roused, let them be pene-
trated with an idea, and all opposition which can
be organised in the Union against them is as vain
as a wooden gate against the rush of a railway
train. We maintain that this body is penetrated
with the idea that the Union is endangered by
again giving power to the South ; and if this
be so, the junction of the Copperheads and
the South, led by the PRESIDENT, will be but
a vain show if they attempt to measure their
strength with that body whose decree is final
in any great national crisis. The Times cor-
respondent tells us a great deal of the doings of the
Philadelphia Convention, but not one word of the
feelings stirred up throughout the country by the
horrible massacre at New Orleans. No Conven-
tion, though composed of all the great orators of
the country, can talk away the blood there shed, nor
obliterate from the mind of the nation the deep-
seated feeling now established of the undying,
reckless, unrelenting hatred of the South. The
talk of the Southern delegates may be as soft
and mild as the winds that blow from their
Southern States, their sentiments may be grand and
noble, their arguments may be based on the laws
of eternal justice, but their acts while in power
come up as a hideous nightmare and darken the
whole picture.
Could the people be persuaded that the interests
of the nation would be forwarded by President
JOHNSON'S plan of reconstruction, the chief magis-
trate would carry with him a power against which
the opposition of Congress would be as harmless as
the cry of achild. I most firmly believe—whether
right or wrong—that the national sentiment is
against the PRESIDENT ; and when the day of trial
has come, and the people speak out, every delusion
will be dissipated, like morning mists before a
rising sun.
Since this article was written we have received a
most hopeful telegram of the proceedings of the
Philadelphia Convention. To unite the States into a
cordial bond of union is the one great object, and
we would earnestly support the _PRESIDENT or the
Congress, the Democrat or the Republican, who
acted honestly or
ivisely with .that object in view.
We fully believJ:• that this sentiment rules that
great body of which we have spoken, and once con-
vinced of the wisdoimand patriotism of the PRESI-
DENT and the party he is now organising, all oppo-
tion will cease, and his measures will receive the
hearty support. of the nation. That the PRESIDENT
carries with him General GRANT and Admiral FAR-
RAGUT in his WeStern tour is a most hopeful sign.
It will indeed be a happy omen for the great Re-
public if the black clouds which have been gathering
should disperse without a storm.

NEW CONSULS.—Genera re-
cently appointed consul to -Lyons, has arrived and
entered on the duties of his office. General G. S. Dodge
has just entered upon his duties as consul to Bremen. Both
these are good appointments, and will give satisfaction.
They both served with distinction in the army of the
United States during the civil war.

S URREY SESSIONS—This Day.

(Before J. E. Johnson, Esq., and a full bench of Magistrates.)
The Sessions for the current month commenced this
morning.

INCREASE OF CRIME IN SURREY.

The Chairman, in delivering his charge to the Grand
Jury, said that he was sorry to state that the calendar con-
tained the names of a large number of prisoners. He believed
there were no less than 60 names on the calendar already,
and when the cases in which the parties were out on bail,
or had been committed since the list had been made out,
the probability was that there would be 70 cases to be tried
during the present sessions. That amount was larger than
usual, but the nature of the offences was not of the
most aggravated description. There were 25 cases
of stealing from the person, two for stealing from -dwelling
houses, two for embezzlement of sums not ex-
ceeding £5, and different cases of assaulting the police inthe
discharge of their duty, and other offences of the ordinary
character. There was one case of arson, and a question
arose as to whether that case could be tried by this court,
but circumstances might arise iu the course of the inquiry
which would bring it within the jurisdiction of the court.
He repeated that the list of cases was very large, and con-
siderably exceeded that of the corresponding period of
last year, which was only forty-eight. How that in-
crease could have taken place, he was at a loss to
understand, considering the season of the year,
the large demand for labour and the high rate of wages,
and therefore there was an absence of the ordinary circum-
stances which led to the commission of theft. Of the num-
ber of prisoners to be tried, 21 had been previously con-
victed. One had been sentenced qice to penal servitude,
and the term of the last sentenc had expired only last
month, but he could not say whether the party had ob-
tained a ticket of leave. In several of the other
cases also the terms of the different sentences had
only recently expired. There was one case in which he
wished to direct special attention. it came under the pro-
visions of an act of Parliament recently passed for the
purpose of securing sobriety amongst railway servants, and
which rendered any act of intoxication on their part while
in the discharge of their duty criminal. Considering the
importance of the duties which that class of servants had
to discharge, involving the safety of life and property, he
thought the Legislature had acted wisely in dealing with
the subject. He then dismissed the jury to their duties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

MUSICAL EDUCATION.-Six youths dressed in the Italian
mountaineer costume, which has lately become so familiar
in the streets of London, and two of them provided with
bagpipes, in an extreme state of dilapidation, were broight
up in custody of Hewitt, the Mendicity officer, on a charge
of begging. They gave the names Carmite Parelli, Nar-
dino Margiotti, Paolo Ferri, Lorets Coppoli, Pietro Ma-
sello, and duiseppe Castellucis. Their ages varied from
12 to 18.

Hewitt stated that on Saturday afternoon he found the
prisoners, and three others, in Great Russell-street beg-
ging. They were not, as usual, with the bands of moun-
taineers seen in the streets, playing their bagpipes, singing
and dancing, following ladies and gentlemen with suppli-
cating gestures, and holding out their hands for money.
He gave them in custody to a policeman. They had all
some coppers in their pockets, together about 2s.
Signor G. Luciano, the Secretary of the Italian Benevo-
lent Society, 20, Greville-street, Holborn, said he had
conversed with the boys since they were in custody, and
found they had only been in London four days, and this
was the first day they had been out. As might be imagined
from the strong likeness between them, they were all
nearly related. They were brought from their homes by
a " padrone," to whom they had been apprenticed by their
parents to receive a " musical education" in England.
The padrone had brought them to Paris, where he now
remained, and had sent them on to London. Although
they were not very likely to learn much of music under
the padrone's tuition, there was no doubt they could earn,
by dancing and singing in the streets, as much money in
three months as would keep them for the rest of the year.
Of this, however. they would not have the benefit, at all
events during the time of apprenticeship, as they were
obliged to hand over all the money they received to the
padrone. He (Mr. Luciano) had explained to them that
they were not allowed to beg; and if the magistrate would
let them go for this once, the Society would send them
back to their padrone at Paris.

Upon this condition the prisoners were discharged.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A YOUNG FEMALE.—Angus
M'Leod, a baker, residing at Brixton, was charged, before
Mr. Tyrwhitt, with the following unprovoked assault on
a young female named Elizabeth Somerville.
The complainant said that a little after ten o'clock last.
night she was walking along Coventry-street, when the
prisoner came up to her and without saying a word to her
gave her a severe blow on the face. Ho then seized her
by the throat, and held her tightly till a constable came
up.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said she
had taken no notice of the prisoner, who was an entire
stranger to her.

Ponce-constable Langham, 108 C, said that, while in
Coventry-street last night, he heard a female calling
" Police," and on going up found the prisoner holding the
complainant by the throat so tightly that he had some diffi-
culty in making him release his hold. He then took the
prisoner, who was drunk, to the station.
The prisoner said he had no questions to ask. He knew
nothing about it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that he was a fair speci-
men of a class of savages who haunted London. It was
an unprovoked attack on the complainant for nothing at
all. For picking pockets persons were committed for three
months, but what was picking pockets compared with a
brutal assault ? Nothing at all. He should commit the
prisoner for three months with hard labour.
