METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock,
a portion of which was in excellent condition.
The show of English and Irish beasts was somewhat ex-
tensive, but the receipts from Scotland were limited. The
best Scots, crosses, short horns, Herefords, and Devons
changed hands steadily, at last week's prices, the top figure
for beef being 4s 10d per 81bs. ; otherwise, the demand was
in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d
per 81bs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,400 short horns, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; from
Scotland, ,29 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 1,600
oxen and heifers.

With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied. Although the general condition of the
sheep was somewhat inferior, the mutton trade ruled very
inactive, at a fall in value of 2d per 81bs. A few
superior Downs realised 5s 6d, but the general top price was
5s 4d per 81bs. About 800 Irish sheep were on offer.
Although the supply of calves was only moderate the
veal trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Pigs, the supply of which was good, commanded quite
last week's currency.

POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—( 77tis Day.)

BOW-STREET.

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

Elizabeth Bryant, of the 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 set a person to watch him, and
he was seen to enter the Bull's Head public-house, Ox-
ford-street. _

Mr. 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.

*RUFFIANLY 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-
street., 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.
Sark, 83 C, proved seeing Greenwood try to strike tho
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 police.
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
he would have given that ono hard labour. The swinging
of the belt was deprecated by their officers more than any-
thing.

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

The, Sergeant said Haynes would forfeit his good conduct
stripe and pay by having seven days.
Mr.. Beadon said he was sorry, but he could not help it.
A DUIUi3ULENT 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
road.
Prisoner said it was all false, and ho 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.
