THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very
inactive for wheat. In prices, however, the fluctuations
wero trifling. Barley was a slow inquiry, but not cheaper.
All other spring corn moved off slowly, on former terms.
The transactions in flour were much restricted.

Throughout the Continent wheat and most other articles
have commanded very little attention on English account;
nevertheless prices have been mostly supported. Dull
advices continue to reach us from the United States.

The arrivals of English produce into the port of London
last week were limited. From abroad we received 13,820
quarters of wheat, 3,918 barley, 94,986 oats, 48 rye, 217
peas, 12 tares, 1,785 linseed, 7,988 rapeseed, 15 sundry
seeds, 270 sacks and 70 barrels of flour.
In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were some-
what limited.

The show of both English and foreign barley was li-
mited ; nevertheless, most kinds were a slow inquiry at
about last week's currency.

Malt—though in short supply—moved off slowly at late
rates.

The supply of foreign oats being very large, the oat
trade ruled heavy, and prices were Gd per quarter lower
than on Monday last.

Beans sold slowly; new Magazans realised 34s to 365,
and small 40s per quarter.

In beans very little was passing. New grey sold at 34s
to 355, new white 40s to 42s per quarter.
All kinds of flour were a dull inquiry at barely stationery
prices.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were
moderate, and a fair portion of the supply was of the pre-
sent year's crop in various condition. The red qualities of
new sold at from 40s to 43s ; and of the new white, 448 to
47s per quarter. The trade for all kinds was in a de-
pressed state, and prices gave way, compared with Monday
last, from 'ls to 2s per quarter. At that amount of depres-
sion millers purchased with extreme caution.
We were well supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat.
For even the finest qualities there was very little inquiry,
and the quotations ruled almost nominal.

THAMES.

SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A WOMAN.—William Whiting,
a labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
committting a violent assault on Jane Monaghan.
- The complainant, a sickly-looking woman, stated that
she was dwelling at No. 2, Hants-place, Gun-lane, Lime-
house. Last night she went in search of her husband and
found him drinking with the prisoner. She asked her
husband for some money, and the prisoner swore at her and
struck her a violent blow on the face and knocked her
down. She fell heavily on the ground and became insen-
sible. She had a severe black eye and that was caused by
the blow.

Mr. Yardley—What did he say to you when he struck
you ? _ _

Witness—He said " Take that, you —." The remainder
of the sentence is too coarse for publication.

The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, said ha
did strike the woman, and was very sorry for it. He was
quite drunk, and the liquor got the better of his " jury-
diction."

Mr. Yardley—Yon did knock down that poor woman,
and give her a black eye ?

The prisoner—Yes ; I was out of my " jurydietion."
Mr. Yardley—Then I shall

The complainant—Don't punish him, sir; I forgive

him.

Mr. Yardley—You have given your evidence, and I
must punish him

The prisoner said he was quite willing to compensate the
woman for the injury he had done her.

Mr. Yardley—You had better do so, and componsate-her
Freely. If you do not I shall punish you severely. I was
just about to sentence you to hard labour.

Huckstep, police constable No. 293 K, here said that
he found the complainant lying upon the ground covered
with blood and quite unconscious.

Mr. Yet&ley—The woman has agreed to accept compen-
sation, and there was no occasion for you to interpose and
give that evidence.

The parties then retired, and some time afterwards the
prisoner was again arraigned in the dock and Mrs. Monag-
han said the prisoner had promised her money but would
give no security whatever for payment.
Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for one month, and said he should be
kept until five o'clock in the afternoon to give him an op-
portunity of compensating the woman in a proper manner.

Advices from all parts of the provinces speak of a
bountiful wheat harvest. The damage done by the

Keith, late of the Grand Trunk Railway, is said
to have resigned his situation as general manager.
He had an engagement for three years at £2,000
per annum, and it is said he is to have £4,000 as
compensation for giving it up.
Our flour market to-day was rather better for
all descriptions. There is no wheat on the market.

THE DEBT OF INDIA.--A return to the House of
Lords shows that the grand total amount of the sums bor-
rowed in India since May, 1857 (down to June last), is
10,86,90,564 rupees, or £10869,056. Another return
shows that in 1858 the debt in India amounted to
£60,704,084, and the interest payable to £2,666,275. The
amount of home bond debt outstanding in 1857-58 was
£8,894,400, and the interest payable £155,776.
®THE PERTHSHIRE MOORS.—According to reliable
accounts, fair sport may be expected this season on most of
the moors of Perthshire, which for some years back were
not in a very satisfactory condition. The coveys are re-
ported as being numerous and generally strong on the wing,
and no trace of the "disease" has yet been observable.—
Edi)lbiwgh Courant.
The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday says that
the judgeship vacant by the death of the Hon. Patrick
Plunkett has beeu conferred upon Mr. David Lynch, Q.C.
The appointment is likely to be popular. Mr. Lynch is a
Roman Catholic, .but has never taken a prominent part in
politics. Tho chairmanship of the county of Louth, vacant
by the promotion of Mr, Lynch, was this day conferred
upon Mr, Leahy, Q.C.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was only mode-
rate. Far prime breeds we had a steady demand at Mon-
day's currency. Otherwise the beef trade was in a slug-
gish state on former terms. There was a fair number of
sheep on offer. Downs and half-breds sold steadily.
Other breeds slowly at previous quotations. Lambs—the
supply of which was good—were in moderate request at
full prices. The show of calves being extensive, the veal
trade was less active at 2d per 81bs less money—the top
figure being 4s 10d. Pigs and milch cows moved off
slowly, yet prices were supported.

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.
The Washington, from New York on the 30th
ult., called at Queenstown at midnight.
She has 1,214,000 dols. in specie on freight.
On the Bth inst. she passed a steamer, supposed
to be Saxonia.

The steamer Indian, from Quebec on the 30th,
has arrived, also the Great Britain, from New
York on the 28th.

The latter brings 300,000 dollars in specie.
By the former we have telegraphic advices from
New York via Farther Point to the evening of
the 30th.

Political news is unimportant both from Canada
and the States.

The papers give lengthy details of the rescue from
a convent of a daughter of the Hon. J. Leander
Star. This had occasioned considerable excitement.
Adkvices from Mazatlan, Mexico, of July 5, state
that the authorities there had chartered the steamer
Santa Cruz, and despatched her to San Bias to cap-
ture a conducta of four million from Guadalaj ar, the
object being to enforce the payment of the usual
export duty.
The British frigate Calypso was lying off San
Blas waiting the arrival of the conducta, and a
collision between her and Norton's forces was re-
garded as inevitable.

L 3 FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-

Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-

Unlike many v;.unted-restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous sistem has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting. certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a de,•,ree almost warranting the designation of

THAMES.

SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A WOMAN.—William Whiting,
a labourer, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
committting a violent assault on Jane Monaghan.
The complainant, a sickly-looking woman, stated that
she was dwelling at No. 2, Hants-place, Gun-lane, Lime-
house. Last night she went in search of her husband and
found him drinking with the prisoner. She asked her
husband for some money, and the prisoner swore at her and
struck her a violent blow on the face and knocked her
down. She fell heavily on the ground and became insen-
sible. She had a severe black eye and that was caused by
the blow.

Mr. Yardley—What did he say to you when he struck
you?

Witness—Hesaid " Take that, you ---.
of the sentence is too coarse for publication.

" The remainder

The prisoner, on being called upon forhis defence, said he
did strike the woman, and was very sorry for it. He was
quite drunk, and the liquor got the better of his " jury-
diction."

Mr. yardley—You did knock down that poor woman,
and give her a black eye ?

The prisoner—Yes; I was out of my " jurydiction."
Mr. Yardley—Then I shall

The complainant—Don't punish him, sir; I forgive
him.

Mr. Yardley—You have given your evidence, and I
must punish him.
The prisoner said he was quite willing to compensate the
woman for the injury he had done her.
Mr. Yardley—You had better do so, and compensate her
freely. If you do not I shall punish you severely. I was
just about to sentence you to hard labour.

Huckstep, police constable No. 293 K, here said that
he found the complainant lying upon the ground covered
with blood and quite unconscious.

Mr. Yaidley—The woman has agreed to accept compen-
sation, and there was no occasion for you to interpose and
givt that evidence.

The parties then retired, and some time afterwards the
prisoner was again arraigned in the dock and Mrs. Monag-
han said the prisoner had promised her money but would
give no security whatever for payment.
Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for one month, and said he should be
kept until five o'clock in the afternoon to give him an op-
portunity of compensating the woman in a proper manner.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT BV A LIFE GUARDSMAN.--
Robert Proctor, of the H troop, 2d Life Guards, Albany
barracks, was charged before Mr. Bingham, with assault-
ing Robert Thompson, described on. the charge-sheet as a
printer, of Great Pye-street, Westminster.
The complainant, a big, hulking, dirty-looking fellow,
who, although describing himself on the charge-sheet as a
printer, signed it with a mark, said he went about twelve
the previous night into a public-house in Piccadilly, at the
time having his child in his arms, and his wife and another
female with him, when the accused, who was drinking,
asked him why he did not get an honest living like a man,
and enlist as he had done ? He told him that was his
business; he immediately struck him a slight blow on the
back with a riding whip, and afterwards followed him to
the door and struck him a blow on the forehead, causing
the mark as it then appeared. The soldier had been
drinking.

Police-constable, 195, said the soldier admitted striking
the complainant, and said it served him right, as he came
in beggiug and annoying him and would not go away.
He had seen the man about begging with children.
The accused, a fine built man, said the man was put out
of the house, and then came into the part where he was,
and begged and annoyed him, and as he used very annoy..
ing language and would not leave, he certainly did strike
him.

Mr. Bingham said he believed what the soldier had said,
and he should like to know what business the complainant
had to be about at 12 o'clock at night, with a child in his
arm begging. He had no doubt he had bothered and ag
gravated the soldier, who had struck him as he' could not
get rid of him, and had gone a little beyond the mark.
Fined 20s. or 7 days' imprisonment.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

A decision in an appeal case in the House of
Lords yesterday embraced a very important ques-
tion regarding the security of bills of exchange
drawn by foreign houses on their English corre-
spondents in cases where the two firms may re-
spectively happen to comprise one or more of the
Same members. In the present instance a house
in Brazil—Messrs. A. Youle Efnd Co.—drew upon
teeir Liverpool correspondents, Messrs. Deane and
Co., and the bills were sold in the usual manner.
4-1,117 were duly accepted in England, but before
'nen' maturity Deane and Co. were compelled to
~,811,8Pend, and this brought down the Brazil house.
The holders sought, according to custom, to prove
against both estates—namely, that of the drawers
1,11, Brazil and the acceptors in Liverpool ; but.
(7,eir rightruptcy, to do so was
the fact denied in the Court
-uank owing to that the two
alsosers constituting the house in Liverpool were
1., Partners with Mr. Alfred Youle in Brazil.
.."11$ decision has now been confirmed by the House
43'Lords, and it must, therefore, in future be under-
stood that a bill of exchange drawn abroad upon
11.ny establishment in London connected by an iden-
iLlty of membership will, in the event of bankruptcy,
uvolve a recourse as limited as if it were simply a
promissory note. The result will be to cause the
iflls
of native firms abroad to bepreferred to those
English firms drawing upon their own connec-
tions. Indeed, this has already been manifested,
the Brazilian Government, upon whose account
the bills which formed the subject of the present
araiiad l were purchased for remittance, having, it is
since the question was raised, ordered their
financial agents to make no more purchases of
Paper drawn upon Europe by houses thus con-
stituteO•

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation. of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the short exchange= London is 25.10
per 1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
it aPpears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburg the
trice of gold is 420} per mark, and the short exchange on
London• is 13.2} per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
deaEnglish Mint price is therefore about 4 10ths per cent.
rer in London than in Hamburg. The course of ex-
chaiige at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
M
is but 1101 } per cent., which, when compared with the
int par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is in favour of England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa-
clon of gold from the United States.
