CHARGE or RAPE.—Armand Rennant, a French
tailor, residing in King-street, Soho, was brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with violating the person of
Charlotte Prendergast, a girl 16 years of age, living at
No. 22, IVindmill-street. The prosecutrix, a well-look-
ing girl, stated that she was living at No. 22, Wind-
Enill-rtreet, with an old lady who went out ironing.
About ten o'clock on the previous night she was going
Pr some beer for her mistress, and met the prisoner, of
whom she bad no previous knowledge, and who asked
her where she was going. She told him, when be re-
quested her to go with him to a house round the corner,
where a woman was waiting to see her. She said she
would not go then. He replied if she did not go at once
she would lose a good situation. He then took her to a house
in King-street, the door of which he opened with a latch
key and to )k her upstairsto a room at the top of the house,
into which he thrust her, and threatened to choke ber
if she made the least noise. She was very much
frightened, and did not call out. He then pulled off
his coat, threw her upon the bed, and, in spite of her
struggles and screams, effected her ruin. He then ran
out of the house, followed by prosecutrix, who came up
with him in Cambridge-street, and gave him into custody.
Police-oonstable 184 C proved apprehending the pri-
soner on the present charge, and conveyed him to the
station-house. The girl was subsequently taken to a
surgeon, whoa gave his opinion that a capital assault
had been committed.
The prisoner in defence said the girl was a consenting
party.
Mr. Bingham remanded the prisoner for the attend-
ance of the surgeon.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

Coastwise, during the week, the arrivals of English
wheat have been very moderate, ♦iz., 1,22 U quarters. By
land carriage a few samples came fresh to hand to-day.
Although the attendance of bnyers was far from numerous,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
steady, at fully Monday's prices.
Over 8,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh
to band, and the show of samples was extensive. Most
kinds wero in fair request, at full quotations.
Floating cargoes met a dull inquiry.
Fine malting barley sold at full quotations, but grinding
and distilling sorts were a dull inquiry.
Thero was no improvement in the malt trade.
We had a fair demand for oats, and prices were slightly
on the advance.
Beans, pawls, and flour were unaltered in value.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Only a moderate supply of beasts was on offer here to-
day ; nevertheless. the demand for all breeds ruled very
inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. We were
rather scantily supplied with sheep, in which very little
business was transacted, at unaltered currencies. There
was very little inquiry for calves, the supply of which was
by no means extensive, and prices gave way 21 per Sibs.
Pigs and mulch cows moved off slowly, on former terms.
