CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets, held on Saturday, were
moderately supplied with wheat. Selected samples were
disposed of at full prices ; but inferior kinds were rather
cheaper. All descriptions of spring corn were taken off at
extreme quotations. The flour trade was less active.

Nearly the whole of the French markets have ruled dull,
and the currencies have been with difficulty supported. In
the United States, produce generally has been offered on
easier terms.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. From abroad we received 31,368
quarters of wheat; 10,835 of barley ; 16,376 oats; 3,625
beans; 10,869 linseed ; 7,347 rapeseed ; 6,972 maize ; 527
sundry seeds ; 59 sacks and 25,190 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng.
lish wheat were only moderate, but the bulk of the samples
came to hand in good dry condition. For both red and
white qualities the trade ruled very inactive, and sales
could only be effected by submitting to a decline of is to
2s per qr. This reduction not being generally accepted by
factors, some portion of the supply was left unsold at the
close of the market.

The show of foreign wheat was larger than for some
weeks past. Generally speaking, the trade!was in a sluggish
state, yet no quotable change took place in the currencies,
compared with this day se'nnight.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at about
previous rates.

_
Barley was a firm trade, and prices were fully supported
The show of samples was very moderate.

Now malt was steady in price ; but old parcels were a
dull inquiry.
The demand for oats, although the supply on offer was
by no means large, was far from active, yot the quotations
were well maintained.

Beans were in limitel supply, and all descriptions sold
readily, at extreme rates.

Peas fully supported last Monday's advance in their
value. The market was very scantily supplied.
In flour very little was doing; prices, however, ruled
about stationary.

POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT Coix.—+Henry Green, a dis-
sipated looking man, was placed at the bar charged with
uttering counterfeit coin.

Elizabeth Bryant,ofthe Crown public-house, New Ox-
ford-street, said on the 7th of October the prisoner came
into the bar and asked for a half-pint of porter and some
tobacco, and tendered a florin in payment, which I at once
said was a counterfeit coin. When I told him it was bad
he said, " Will you know me again ?" I said, "I certainly
should." I took the beer back and having broken the base
coin in halves, I gave him one portion of it and retained
the other, which I gave to a police-constable on the follow-
ing Monday.

Mr. John Fenwick, landlord of the Angel and Crown,
Gloucester-street, Queen's-square,Bloomsbury, said on the
14th of October, about half-past seven, the prisoner came
to my house and called for a glass of ale, and tendered a
shilling, which I placed in the detector. The coin was
broken, and I returned it to the prisoner, saying, " Gover-
nor, that won't do for me." He said, " What do you
mean, I gave you a good shilling, that isn't mine." I said
" I tell you what it is, I've a good mind to look you up at
once." I let him go, but I seta person to watch him, and
he was seen to enter the Bull's Head public-house, Ox-
ford-street.

)Ir. Thomas Howe, landlord of the Bull's Head public-
house, said the prisoner came into my house on the evening
of the 14th of October, and tendered a bad shilling in pay-
ment for beer. I saw it was a counterfeit. At that
moment some person came in, and then I told the pri-
soner that I thought he had been uttering base coin before.
He said he had another sixpence, but I sent for a constable
and gave him in charge. I marked the coin and gave it to
the constable.

Police-constable 77 E—l took the prisoner into custody
on the evening in question at Mr. Howe's house, and re
ceived from that gentleman the counterfeit shilling now
produced. I afterwards received from Miss Bryant the half
of a counterfeit florin.

Mr. Corrie—l am going to commit you for trial; have
you anything to say ?

Prisoner—With respect to the shilling I took it in change,
and I don't think I was wrong in getting rid of it. With
respect to the florin it's a mistake. I never saw her in my
life. I was at St. John's-wood when the woman says I
was in Oxford•street. It's hard to have my liberty sworn
away by a woman I never saw before.
Mr. Corrie—Well, that amounts to an alibi. You will
have an opportunity to prove that on your trial.
Prisoner—Well, but it's hard to be sent to trial for a
thing I never did.

Mr. Corrie—You can tell the jury that.
The prisoner was then fully committed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RUFFTANLY SOLDIERS.—Richard Greenwood and Henry
Haynes, two privates of the Bth company of the 2d battalion
of Grenadier Guards, were charged with assaulting Thomas
Foskett, waiter at a public house, and Ruth Elsden with
abetting them.

Mr. George Atherfold, of the Duke of York, Union-

:.trcet, said his man told him on Saturday night that a
woman was making a noise. He put her out. Greenwood
then forced his way in and wanted him to fight without
the slightest provocation. His (witness's) man prevented
him, and he was obliged to close all the doors. The prisoner
Haynes assaulted his waiter. The police came, and they
were taken into custody.

Thomas Foskett, potman, said he turned the female out
and the soldiers came in and Haynes slapped him in the
face, the female saying—" Give it the —." Greenwood
tried to strike the landlord, but he prevented him, and they
were all put out. •

Stirk, 83 0, proved seeing Greenwood try to strike the
landlord, and when they got outside Greenwood pulled off
his belt and Haynes seized it and said—" Come on you —,
I'll split your head open." He sprung his rattle and got
assistance, or he should have been no doubt much hurt.

The prisoners' sergeant said Haynes was a good man,
and had a good conduct stripe. Greenwood had once before
been charged with assaulting the r olice.

Inspector Rogers, C division, said that the prisoners had
done 30s. damage to the water closet pan of the cell. It
had been smashed by being kicked in.
Mr. Beadon said if it bad been shown which had done it
ho would have given that one hard labour. The swinging
of tho belt was deprecated by their officers more than any-
thing.

The soldiers were fined 20s. each or seven days, and the
woman 40s. or seven days.

The Sergeant said Haynes would forfeit his good ecndllot
stripe and pay by having seven days. Ili

Mr. Beadon said he was sorry, but he could not help it.
A TURBULENT PAUPER.—George Handford, an old man,
an inmate of St. George's Workhouse, was charged before
Mr. Beadon with creating a disturbance while the prayers
were being read this morning in St. George's Workhouse,
and also with assaulting Owen Turner, one of the inmates.
John Lines, the taskmaster, said—This morning at half-
past seven, just as prayers were going to be read, the pri-
soner began swearing and shuffling his feet and making a
great noise. I told him to be quiet, when he called me a
" taskmaster," and said he would not be quiet for the
" matron, -- chaplain, or any one else." The pri-
soner then struck one of the inmates.

Owen Turner proved being struck by the prisoner.

Mr. Rogers, one of the officers of the house, said the pri-
soner had been at the court before charging a man with
assaulting him, but Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed the case, not
believing him.

The taskmaster said no prayers were read in consequence
of the prisoner's conduct.
Mr. Beadon said that he should have been put out of the
ward, but there was no occasion for the-prayers not being
read. _

Prisoner said it was all false, and he was ill-used.

_ .
Mr. Beadon said he should commit the prisoner for 14
days. The workhouse of St. George's was too well
con-
ducted for him to believe what the prisoner said.

THAME§.

SAVAGE ASSAULT.—THE PLUMBER AND lIIS MIS-
TRESS.—A well •dressed woman named Emma Crawford,
aged 30 years, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged
with assaulting and wounding Mr. William Lane, a
plumber, dwelling in the Old Manor-road, Stepney, near
the Old Church.

Mr. Lane stated that last night ho was at his door in the
act of putting a key in the lock, when the prisoner came
up to him, and said before you go into that b—g house
to-night I'll have some money. He told her to leave him,
and she immediately struck him a tremendous blow on (the
Mouth with a key, split his lip open, and broke one of his
front teeth. Ho had bled profusely, and he was compelled
to put himself under the care of a surgeon. His lip was I
sewn up, and a surgical bandage placed on it.
Police-constable John Hell, No. 283 K, stated that he
saw the whole occurrence and confirmed the prosecutor's
statement.
The prisoner—He struck me first and knocked me down,

Mr. Lane—l lived with the prisoner GI years, but I could
live with her no longer--her temper was so bad. She has
annoyed me since I left her in every possible manner,
and has made use of the most deadly threats.
The prisoner—He has parted me from my husband;
what am I do ?

Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner had been living in a
state of adultery with another man, and must not expect
any favour from her husband. The destitution and dis
tress under which she was labouring were the consequences
of her own sin. The prisoner had committed a most un-
justifiable attack on the complainant, and Tie (Mr. Wool-
rych) was not going into her wrongs, or her fancied wrongs.
He sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 205., or be im-
prisoned 10 days.
