BOROUGH HOP.

For good and fine hops we have to report a steady
demand, and prices are fairly supported, but all inferior
samples are still a dull inquiry. Generally speaking, the
market is decidedly firm. Last week's imports were 139
bales from New York, 112 from Antwerp, and 5 from
Ostend.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of potatoes up to these markets since our
last have been rather less extensive both by land and water
carriage, and nearly all descriptions have met an improved
sale at very full prices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DETERILINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—Edward Hinton,
a tailor, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the fel:low-
ing daring attempt at suicide.
George 'stokes, a labouring man, said that on Saturday
evening he was passing through St. James' s-square,;when
hearing a cry of " Help" he got over the railings of the
enclosure and found the prisoner lying on his back, with a
piece of rope tied tightly round his throat, the other end
being tied round his leg. Finding the rope was tied round.
his throat so tight that he could not move it, there being
a ;f, h, «.+n fn onrno r.‘«onr. a xvlnn wafe. of
ings, and got a knife, with which he cut the rope fro the
prisoner's neck. At the station the prisoner said he had
been drinking, but that it was starvation had caused him to
do it.

Prisoner said he certainly meant to do it, but was now
happy he had not succeeded in the attempt. He was iu
great distress and very badly off.
Inspector Holden said the porter of St. Martin's Work-
house was in attendance, who could prove that he was a
dissolute character.

Brennan, the porter of St. Martin's Workhouse, said that
was the case. He had been in the house, but diseharget
himself.

Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find one surety for
a month, and gave the witness Nokes 55., as he had cer-
tainly saved the prisoner's life.

THAMES. ,

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—DanieI Morris and gMichael
Callan, two powerful Irishmen, were brought before Mr.
Woolrych, charged with committing a savage assault on
Ellen Cronan, an "unfortunate girl," who appeared in
court with one eye nearly closed, her face terribly bruised,
and her mouth swollen. It also appeared that she had sus-
tained other injuries of a serious nature, and had been
under medical treatment in the London Hospital.
The occurrence took place in an infamous place called
Angel-court, at the back of the " White Fox," formerly
the Angel publichouse in the Back-road, Shadwell. The
prisoners accompanied the complainant and another loose
woman to a house in Angel-court, where a quarel took
'lace between them. Morris would not pay his female
companion, and she took his jacket and ran away
with it. Morris swore he would break up all
before him if his jacket was not restored,
and he began to demolish the things in the
house. The complainant interfered, and Morris seised her
by the hair of the head, twisted it in his hand, and held her
while he beat her with his fists, got her upon the floor,
knelt upon her, and rendered her insensible. The other
prisoner (Callan) also kicked her while the other rufila:a
was besting her, and made use of the most horrible I.an-
guage. A formidable and sanguinary fight ensued between
the prisoners and the inmates of the house. Ytorris'■
clothes and shirt were torn to pieces, and both prisoners
got roughly handled. It was clearly proved that both
fellows had beaten and kicked the wretched woman Cronan,
and that Morris had jumped upon her. The affair took
place on Sunday morning, and amongst the most depraved
population which can be found in the kingdom.
Mr. Woolrych commented on the case, which he said was
a most infamous one, and no doubt originated in a house of
the worst description, where the prisoners had no right to
be, owing to the fellow Morris losing his jacket. The pri-
' soners had committed a very savage and unmanly assault
on the complainant, who no doubt led a depraved sort of
life. That was, however, no reason she should be mur-
dered. The assault committed by Morris was characterised
by cowardly ferocity. He convicted the prisoners of an
aggravated assault, and sentenced Morris to two months'.
imprisonment and hard labour, and Callan to six weeks'
imprisonment and hard labour.
