BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The supply of home-grown potatoes on sale here is
moderately good, but the imports of foreign since our last
have been confined to a few small parcels. Generally
speaking, the trade is in a sluggish state, and prices have a
drooping tendency. Shaws are quoted at 50s to 70s, and
Regents 75s to 100 s per ton. The crops is very favourably
spoken of in nearly all parts of Great Britain, and in Ire-
land we understand that it will probably be a very abun-
dant one.

WOOL.
Owing to the reduction in the Bank rate of discount the

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE AT A PHOTOGRAPHER'S.-Mr. Wm. PiMMS,
the keeper of a photographic portrait place at 367, Oxford-
street, was charged, late on Saturday afternoon, with the
following assault :
Mrs. Catherine Anthony, the wife of a pay-sergeant of
the Fusilier Guards, Wellington Barracks, said she went
into the defendant's shop in Oxford-street, about 12 o'clock
on Saturday, to have her portrait painted for a brooch. She
did not have one painted for her brooch, but had a smaller
one done, and she afterwards objected to it, when she was
told that it would be all right when it was dry. She after-
wards returned and said she wanted her money back or a
fresh portrait, and after a few words" the defendant struck
her on the head, rendering her insensible, and then tore up
the portrait and pushed her down stairs, and the defend-
ant's "doorman" also attacked her and damaged her
clothes, and she felt certain that if she had not been rescued
she would have lost her life, as the bones of her stays were
broken. The defendant then pushed her down Oxford-
street, and gave her two severe blows in the mouth, loosen-
ing two of her teeth.
Samuel Butterill, of 10, Eagle-street, Holborn, and a
witness named George Roberts, both proved seeing de-
fendant pushing the complainant along Oxford-street, and
give her two severe blows in the mouth.
Sergeant Howes, 21 C, said he heard some gentlemen say
the defendant's conduct was shameful.
Defendant said the complainant went away well satisfied
with her portrait, and afterwards came back and began
" cutting away." He did give her a shove, and his band
might have gone in her face.
Wm. Sellman, defendant's " doorman," was called, but
the only material thing he proved was that defendant did
shove complainant away from the door, and that a mob
collected.
The Magistrate (Mr. Maude)—What is this place.
Sergeant Howes—R is a photograph shop, and every-
body who passes has a portrait thrust in his or her face.
The magistrate said he had no doubt the defendant had
used a great deal of unnecessary violence. The defendant
was seen pushing the complainant violently along the
streets, and there was no wonder if bystanders collected.
Did he (defendant) think this was to be tolerated ? It was
a gross outrage on a respectable female, and defendant had
not mended his case by insinuating the complainant was in-
toxicated. Ile had no doubt dono that to create a preju-
dice.
The defendant was then fined £5, or imprisonment in
I default.
London, England, 1861-08-05

defendant was an adventurer in the mine and that
the work was done,
The jury found for the plaintiff for £5l 9s.
KNIGHT V. HORSWALL.
Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Mr. H. T. Cole were
counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr.
Kingdon for the'defendant.
This was an action for breach of promise of mar-
riage.
It was stated that the parties had agreed upon a
verdict, and the defendant was desirous of stating
that there was not the slightest imputation upon
the character of the lady, and that he had not been
induced to break off the match from any miscon-
duct on her part.
A verdict was then taken by consent for the
plaintiff, £lOO damages.

TEMPLE GARDENS.—These gardens have long been
celebrated for their chrysanthemums in the autumn, and at
this time they are remarkable for the display of flowers
usually found in bloom at this period of the year. The
stocks, calceolarias, fuchias, geraniums, &c., which fill the
42 beds on the slope on the northern part of the gardens are
remarkably fine. These grounds are open to
tters public
every evening, and the denizens of London can plea-
santly spend an hour or two, when time does not permit
of their going to gardens at a great distance. Mr. Broom

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the arim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE NAVY.

Yesterday the large sheer-hulk used at Chatham
for masting the various vessels of war was towed
out of harbour by two Government steamers, which
will proceed with it to the Thames, the sheers being
required for masting the Warrior, 40. A party of
18 seamen from the Wellesley, 72, proceeded in the
sheer-hulk to assist in navigating it to London.
The masts and yards for the Warrior are expected
to be forwarded from Chatham Dockyard in the
course of a few days.

The North Star, 22, screw corvette, building in
Sheerness Dockyard, has her framework nearly
complete, after which she has been ordered to stand
for a few months, in order to admit of her timbers
being thoroughly seasoned.
The screw gunboat Surly, 2, having undergone
the necessary repairs at Sheerness Dockyard, will,
according to present arrangements, be taken out of
No. 5 dock this day, and be- replaced by the
Thrasher gun-vessel.
The screw steam frigate Newcastle, 51, 600-horse
power, in dock at Sheerness, is ordered to be im-
mediately got ready to join the steam reserve in the
Medway.
The iron paddlewheel steamer Lizard, in the steam
basin at Sheernes, is being extensively repaired, and
is now fitting with a new upper deck. From an
examination of her engines it is expected that new
ones will have to be provided.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Capt. C. P. Coles to the
Fisgard, for special sarvice ; Lieut. Richard Sheep-
shanks to the Immortalite ; Lieut. Edward Poul-
den, to the Excellent ; Lieut. john R. T. Fullerton,

COLONIAL.

TEA—A fair amount of business has been transacted
and previous prices are generally well sustained.
SUGAR—There have been steady enquiries for good
grocery descriptions, and, in some instances, rather easier
rates have been accepted by holders. The refined market
has continued dull, and dried goods have slightly declined
in price.
COFFEE—Business has continued inactive; full rates,
however, are realised for good and fine qualities of Planta-
tion Ceylon. Stocks on hand, compared with those of the
same period of last year, show a deficit of about 900 tons.
RICE—The market has been very quiet, and inferior
qualities have slightly given way in prices.
FRUlT—There has been a moderate inquiry for currants,
and rather higher rates have been obtained.
SALTPETRE—The dealings have been of an unimportant
character, and previous rates are barely supported.
TALLow—For home consumption there has been a bet-
ter inquiry, but only a limited speculative business has
been transacted. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 58s 6d,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.
An extraordinary general meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the London-bridge
terminus, to consider the propriety of converting
into preferential 4,-1- per cent. stock all such of the
preferential 41 per cent. shares of 1861 as have been
paid up in full ; also for sanctioning the transfer of
the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, Mr.
L. Schuster was in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to the trans-
fer of the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, the
deeds were not yet completed, and would not there-
fore be laid before them for their sanction. The
con version of the 41 per cent. shares into stock was
a formal matter, as it was usual as soon as such
shares were paid up to convert them into stock, but
it was necessary to submit it to the shareholders.
He then moved a resolution authorising the conver-
sion of the above shares into stock.
Mr. Nix seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, and the proceedings terminated.

()N THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of, pain to the unhappy sufferers is

THE KOSSUTH NOTE.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Home Secretary the
question of which he had given notice previous to the
recess, relative to the Kossuth note. He wished to be
informed what was the number as well as the letter of the
policeman who, as the right hon. gentleman the Home
Secretary stated, had delivered one of those notes to
Sir Richard Mayne. Ho wished also to be informed
whether the policeman in question was still in the metro-
politan police force, and if not, when he left it ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated the statement he had pre-
viously made, to the effect that neither Sir Richard Mayne
aor himself had given any directions relative to obtaining
any information on the subject of those notes previous
to the one in question being given to Sir Richard Mayne.
He did not think that, under the circumstances of
the case, it was proper for him to give the information
required by his hon. friend the member for Finsbury. He
would, however, state that no steps had been taken for the
removal of the policeman referred to from the metropolitan
force.

()N THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when In reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappflittrerers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.
An extraordinary general meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the London-bridge
terminus, to consider the propriety of converting
into preferential 41 per cent. stock all such of the
preferential 41,- per cent. shares of 1861 as have been
paid up in full ; also for sanctioning the transfer of
the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway to the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. Mr.
L. Schuster was in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, with reference to the trans-
fer of the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, the
deeds were not yet completed, and would not there-
fore be laid before them for their sanction. The
conversion of the 43 per cent. shares into stock was
a formal matter, as it was usual as soon as such
shares were paid up to convert them into stock, but
it was necessary to submit it to the shareholders.
He then moved a resolution authorising the conver-
sion of the above shares into stock.

Mr. Nix seconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, and the proceedings terminated.

MONMOUTHSHIRE.

It appears the directors of this company, after
carrying over a balance of upwards of £9OO to make
the reserve fund £lO,OOO, have resolved to declare
a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for
the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1860.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN"-

COLNSHIRE.
The total expenses of this company's railways,
including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the lat of
January to the Ist of March, 1861, amounted to
£84,140, as against £76,463 for the corresponding
r-riod of 1860. The proportion of the South Junc-
tion receipts accruing to this company from the Ist
of January to the 30th of March amounted to £6,932,
as against £6,208 for the corresponding period of
1860, and the expenses to £3,481, as against £2,95•

religion, morality, justice, law, peace, and happi-

There is a good deal of truth in this proclamation,
but it sounds strangely on the lips of one who had
been the companion and the lieutenant of Napoleon,
not to say his brother-in-law.

to themselves. He regretted it was not in his
power to give them a gratuity with the medals,
because the gratuities were only given in limited
numbers, which of necessity excluded many equally
deserving with those who were awarded gratuities,

accompanied by the gratuity. In leaving the divi-

POCKET-PICKING.

George Williams, a person known to the police, was in-
dicted for stealing the purse of the prosecutor from her
pocket.

The Recorder sentenced him to six years' penal servi-
tude.

CHARGE OF FORGERY.

William Manton Tarry, 25, clerk, was indicted for
feloniou,ly forging an acceptance to a bill of exchange for
X5O, with intent to defraud the London and Westminster
Bank.

The facts of the case were of the usual kind. The bill
was presented at the counter of the London and Westminster
Bank by a lad, the prisoner being observed in one of the
passages of the building. The prisoner on that occasion
wore whiskers, but when he was apprehended he was with-
out them. A fellow-clerk of the prisoner identified the
hand writing also, remarking that at the time the forged
bill was presented and paid the prisoner was absent from
his employ on the ground of ill-health, and when he re-
turned in three or four days after it was remarked that he
had shaved off his whiskers. On being asked why he had
done so he said he had had to apply an embrocation to his
face. On being apprehended by Haydon, the detective
officer, a pocketbook was found in his pocket, in which on
one of the leaves the word " accepted" appeared written by
itself.

The witnesses having been examined, the prisoner read
a long statement to the jury, in which he denied all know-
ledge of the forgery, and solemnly appealed to the jury not
to convict him on circumstantial evidence. He also urged
that, if he had received the £5O from the bank, it was not
likely he should remain to risk being taken into custody.
He contended that altogether his actions were those of an
innocent man, and " misfortune's iron hani.l" was upon him.
He lost a purse containing £l4, the property of his em-
ployer, and not being able to make up the amount, he in-
serted "an appeal to the benevolent" in the newspapers,
which he did not think was the act of a dishonest man,
especially if he possessed the facility of obtaining money
from the Westminster Bank by forging the acceptance of
his former employer. He concluded by imploring the jury
to weigh well the whole of the evidence, and in the event
of there being any doubt to give him the benefit of the
doubt, and if he was acquitted, his incarceration would
always remain "a dark unlovely spot" ira his memory. In
the event of a conviction, he felt certain that the Almighty
would enable him to bear it with patience.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
WHOLESALE MINING.

Joseph Jones, William Smith, and Ellen Jones were
indicted for having in their custody and possession a mould
for coining.

The prisoners made no defence, Jones observing that he
did not think it was of any use.
The jury found the prisoners guilty.
The Common Sergeant sentenced Jones to twelve years,
Ellen Jones to six years, and Smith to ten years' penal
servitude.

for masting the various vessels of war was towed
out of harbour by two Government steamers, which
will proceed with it to the Thames, the sheers being
