FRIGHTFUL CASE OF ST-A...BRING ON BOARD A DUTCII
A 11—.4- Dutch seaman, belonging to VI.
Holland ship Martha Jacobi, lying in the St. Katherine
Dock, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, on ,Kmandt
charged with assaulting and wounding Thomas Brown,
Belgian sailor, who was brought from the London itospit4l
to give evidence. _

Cornelius de Bauer, upper steersman (chief mate) of the
Martha Jacobi, said that several of the crew came on board
on Wednesday night intoxicated, and made a disturbance•
He put one of them in irons. The prisoner, who was ved
noisy, was sent below, and ordered to remain there. TO
prisoner disobeyed orders, and. came up with a knife, end
wounded one man in the arm. He did not see what sort of
knife it was. He took the knife from the prisoner, and
gave him into custody.
Thomas Brown, a Belgian whose right arm was ban'
daged said, he did not belong to the Martha Jacobi. 0°
went on board that ship to bid a friend good night. There
was a row on deck among the Dutchmen, and the prisoner
was brandishing a knife. He endeavoured to take the
knife from the prisoner, who struggled with him. Ole
finger got cut, and he was obliged to let go the knife. TO
prisoner then rushed upon him like a madman, and cut hie
arm, which fell by his side. There were two cuts on Iti!
arm which went round by his shoulder, and he lost a goc°
deal of blood.
Medical evidence was given of the nature and extent of
the wound, and that it would be some time before the Oel•'
gian would be able to use his arm.
Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very limited supplies of English wheat were received 11P
to our market this morning. All samples, in dry condition►
were disposed of without difficulty, at full prices; but other
kinds ruled dull, at irregular currencies.

The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. For,
most descriptions there was a moderate retail demand, and
prices were fairly supported.
The transactions in cargoes afloat were by no memo nlv
merous ; nevertheless no change took place in their value.
Good and fine barley moved off steadily, at full quota'
tions; but inferior parcels were a dull sale.
The malt trade ruled firm, at quite previous rates.
Beans were held at very full prices; but peas changed
allO good atsrealisedfine fullcorn. currencies, with a steady demand for
hands slowly, on former terms.
Most kinds of flour changed hands to a limited extent,
at late rates. American barrels, however, were very fir La.
