TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY.

ROBBERY AND MURDEROUS ASSAULT.— William Willis,
a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the
following robbery and violent assault :
William Lewis, a respectable-looking young man, and
who said he was a mariner, said that on the previous night
he accompanied a young woman to a house in Hunt's-court,
St. Martin's-lane, and soon after ho went to bed and fell off
in a dose. Hearing the rattling of money in the room, he
jumped out of bed and saw the prisoner at his pockets, and
immediately seized him. Upon this the prisoner seized a
large water jug from the wash-hand stand, and aimed a
blow at his head; but, on holding up his arm,
he received the blow upon it, the jug being smashed and his
arm cut and covered with blood. The prisoner then ran
down stairs, and he pursued him and called for the police.
On searching his pockets 114' found all his money was gone.
In answet to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that the
young woman had left when he was awoke by the pri-
soner's being in the room. _ _

A constable, named Salisbury, proved searching the
house and finding the prisoner secreted in a cellar, holding
the door so as to prevent his coming in. He found 12s. 6d.
on the prisoner, but no half sovereign.
Prisoner's defence was that he went home and found the
sailor in his bed asleep and said " Halloo, old fellow, what
do you do here," and that then prosecutor jumped out of
bed and attacked him, and that he (prisoner) struck in self
defence.

THIS DAY'S MARAETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Somewhat increased supplies of English wheat were on
sale here to-day. For both red and white qualities the
demand ruled inactive ; nevertheless, Monday's improve-
ment in the quotations was fairly supported.

- . -
All kinds of foreign wheat were held at extreme rates,
but the amount of business transacted was very moderate.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent,
and the currencies ruled firm.

Malting barley moved off more freely, at very full prices.
Grinding and distilling sorts were fully as dear as on
Monday.
New malt sold steadily; old, slowly, at late rates.
Oats were firm, and the quotations were well maintaineat
Beans and peas changed hands at fully Monday's
advance in thoir value.
The flour trade was steady, at quito previous rates.

The supply of meat is moderately extensive. The prim-
est qualities move off steadily at full prices, otherwise, Ulm
trade is dull, and the quotations are rather drooping,

BOROUGH HOP.

A fair business is doing in hops of good and fine quality,
at our quotations. Inferior parcels, however, are a dull
inquiry, and prices have a drooping tendency. The market
'is abundantly supplied with foreign hops. The duty, at
lid. per lb. for the present year, has been officially declared
at £149,610 9s.

TEA.--The demand has been of an average charade*
and prices have remained without material change.
SUGAR.—For good and pure grocery descriptions full
rates have been obtained, but other descriptions have been
dull and slightly cheaper. In the refined market quota-
tions were without material alteration.
COFFEE.—A fair amount of business has been transacted,
and full prices have been readily obtained for all descrip-
tions.
RleE.—East India descriptions have been in increased
favour, and prices have tended upwards ; other qualities
maintained previous values.
SALTPETRE..Business has continued dull, and the few
dealings reported have been at about former prices.
TALLOW.—A steady business has been entered into for
both present and forward delivery, and prices haw shown
increased firmness. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 535,
and spring delivery 53s 6d to 51s per cwt.

KELSO MEETING.-THURMDAY.

Match.

The timidity exhibited by the backers since their signal
discomfiture at Newmarket last week has grown more
patent, as the last meeting at head-quarters approaches.
The muster at the Corner this afternoon was extremely
scant, and the business transacted; under such circum-
stances, was of the most limited character and was entirely
confined to three or four animals. Henham Lass appeared
extremely firm at her quoted price, at which she was sup-
ported for £lOO or £5OO. Asteroid also was inquired after,
and just prior to the closing of the room 9 to 1 was taken to
some money; with offers to go on. Limeflower, not Pre-
cise, as was anticipated, was the "sensation" of the after-
noon. The commission commenced at Manchester, was
vigorously executed in the City in the morning, and she
bloomed at the opening of the room as good a favourite as
anything but the favourite ; but later in the afternoon a
reaction set in, and she left off with a host of layers at 11
to 1. 100 to 8 each was taken to good money about Con-
fectioner and The Roe, the former having a strong party,
who evidently expect to land the sweets on this occasion.
The other animals enumerated in our subjoined list were
occasionally touched upon, but the business transacted upon
either must be looked upon as nominal. The following is
a list of the closing prices :

The favourite for tho Cambridgeshire is very quiet here.
6to 1 was offered on the field. Asteroid, Limeflower, and
Confectioner were very firm, and Camerino has almost re-
sumed his former position, and the last we heard of him
was an offer to take 100 to 5. The Liverpool Cup was in-
troduced, for which Sir William, Calpe, and Confidante
were in most request, but there were not so many horses
backed as we have seen on the introduction of so large an
event. Closing prices :

40 to 1 agat Rocket (taken)

Fast Runner did not pass the post. The winner was ob.

An inquiry was subsequently instituted by the stewards
on a charge of jostling preferred by the rider of Birdhill
against the rider of Sir William Armstrong, who came in
first. The jostle was proved, and the owner of Birdhill
receives the stakes.
