BOROUGH HOP.

The finest samples of new hops are in moderate request
at previous rates. In other respects the market is dull,
and sales can only be effected by submitting to lower cur-
rencies. Duty, £115,000. Last week's imports were 624
bales from Antwerp ; 342 from Hamburg; 123 from
Ostend; 297 from Rotterdam ; 10 from Calais ; 4 from

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The receipts of home-grown potatoes since our last re-
port have been only moderate. Generally speaking, the
trade has ruled firm, though by no means active, and prices
have been supported. Scarcely any foreign potatoes are on
offer.

The market for linseed and rapeseed continues firm at

POLWE INT.ELLIGEN CE.—( This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

GOOD WINE NEEDS NO BUSlL—William Taylor, a
builder's labourer, was charged with stealing a quantity of
wine.

Mr. Warne, the patentee of the Antig,ropelas, explained
to the magistrate that he had a quantity of rare and choice
wine -in a cellar, the entrance to which ho had built up.
Latterly some repairs had been going on in his premises,
and it was remarked that the builder's men employed were
constantly drunk. Their quarrelling had become so out-
rageous that the police had interfered on one occasion, and
the offmder had been sent to prison for two months. It
was afterwards discovered that the men had broken into the
cellar and stolen several magnums of wine of the vintage of
1821, which they had drank out of their tin mugs, which
they had probably appreciated as highly as if it had been
able bees.

William George Sutter said—l am foreman to Mr.
Sawyer, of the Euston-road, builder, and engaged on the
repairs going on. at Mr. Warne's house. The prisoner and
other men were under my orders excavating some ground
in the rear of the house. I told the prisoner he would come
to a stone covering of a cellar, and that he was to take care
he did not break it, as the place contained very valuable
property. I also told Anthony to be careful while working
near the spot, and the reason I did so was that I thought
they were trustworthy mon. I have since learned that the
stone has been removed, and from what I have learned
from the lad Styles I discharged the prisoner, and Anthony
another man, is implicated, but he is in prison for assault.
Joseph Styles said I am employed at Mr.Warne's ; about
breakfast time on Thursday morning the prisoner put me
down into a vault. He let me down with a scaffold rope,
and I brought up seven bottles. I went down twice. The
first time I brought up three bottles, and the next time four.
Anthony and the prisoner drank the contents of one of the
bottles, all but a little drop, which they put into my tea,
the other bottles they took away. I have only been put
down the hole by the prisoner. I noticed the bottles I
brought up were big 'uns.

.
Mr. Come—How did they open the bottles to ,%-et the
wine out ?

Witness—Taylor took out the cork with his fingers.
Mr. Corrie—How could he do that ?
Mr. Warne—The wine was so old that possibly the cork
was quite rotten.

The prisoner said he was not the first to lower the boy
into the cellar.

Styles persisted that he was.

Mr. Corrie said it did not matter, as long as he admitted
that he had put the bey down at all.
Prisoner did not deny that he had done so.

Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner to have Anthony
apprehended and also other men who might be suspected of
being implicated in the robbery.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR AT TILE ALHAMBRA PALACE,
—Mr. James Bartleman, musical director at the Alhambra
Palace, Leicester-square, Mr. George Butcher, tr ea-
surer, Mr. Charles Wyld, jun., nephew of the proprietor,
Mr. Charles R. Laprest, cellarman, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Hart, housekeeper, all of the same establishment, were
charged before Mr. Beadon, with committing a violent
assault and doing grievous bodily harm to Mr. Henry
Hart Davis, 18, Pall-mall East, manager of the Palace. .
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, prosecuted; and Mr.
Sleigh appeared, instructed by Mr. Chidley, for the defen-
dants.

Mr. Lewis, on opening the case, said the proceedings
were taken for a violent assault committed on Mr.
Davis, the assault being of such a nature that at one time
Mr. Davis's life was despaired of by the medical gentleman
called in, and even now Mr. Davis was in such a state that
it was probable his worship would have to be called
in to take his deposition. He should only call five
witnesses to-day, including that of the medical man,
and then ask for a remand for a week, by
which time, perhaps, Mr. Davis might be able
to attend. Mr. Lewis then went on to describe the nature
of the assault as follows :—For some time past the receipts
had not been what Mr. Davis expected, and the defendants
having heard, or imagined, that they were all to he dis-
charged, for the past three weeks they carried on a system of
annoyance, till, on Friday night, Mr. Davis was invited
into a room under the pretence that a gentleman wanted
to see him, when the assault, which was one of the mos
cowardly nature, was committed on him by the four male
defendants, Mrs. Hart, though taking no part in the
assault, still he should be able to prove aiding in it.
Mr. Orridge, barrister, here entered the court, and said
he appeared for Mr. Laprest.
Mr. Lewis, jun., then called

Mr. Bartholomew Archdeacon Duncan, M R.C.S., 32
Francis-street, Torington -square, who said—l attended
Mr, Davis, and was called in on Saturday morning about
nine, and found him suffering from a severe nervous shock,
and having several marks of bruises on his chest and other
parts, including the lower ribs. I discovered no fracture,
but a crackling of the ribs and a difficulty of breathing, and
his expectoration was tinged with blood. The consequence
of the depressed rib might lead to internal hemorrhage. I
yesterday looked on his ease with some suspicion. I held
a consultation with another medical man. The injuries
were the result of blows and kicks, and his face was much
swollen.

Mr. Sleigh—Would there be any danger in his coming
here ?

Mr. Duncan—Yes. He came here on Saturday against
my orders.

Mr. Sleigh—l am quite satisfied with such a respectable
opinion as Dr. Duncan's.
Mrs. Cecilia Davis, wife of the prosecutor, said—l reside
at 18, Pall- mall East, and my husband is an auctioneer,
and manager at the Royal Alhambra Palace. On Friday
evening last I went to the palace, and shortly after 12
heard screams of " Murder," and went to the committee
room, the door of which was locked. Mr. Leotard was
with me and others. I tried to get into the room by push-
ing the door. I asked Mr. Leotard to break the door open,
and he pushed it, but it did not open the door.
Mrs. Hart said, "Keep the door shut," but it opened, and
Mr. Charles Wyld came out and called for water. I said
to him, " What is the matter ?" and he said, " Only a lady
has fainted," and the door of the room was instantly locked,
Mr. Wyld taking the water in. The defendant Butcher
was in an inner room. I asked him what was the matter,
and he replied, " Nothing." I then got into the hall and
saw my husband. Laprest and Mr. Wyld were there. I
asked Mr. Lapriest how he dared to strike my husband, and
he said he was sorry he had not a horse whip to break every
bone in his body, and Mr. Wyld said, " I wish to God I
had killed him, for I owed it him a long while." My hus-
band was taken home, and has kept his bed
_since. My
husband is 49 years of age.
Mr. Sleigh—Have you described all you saw ?
Mrs. Davis—All that was said exactly, and all I saw, and
that is all I know about the matter. My husband sent for
Mr. Wyld, the proprietor, and then went home.
Mr. Sleigh—Was not your husband at his office on
Saturday morning?

Mrs. Davis—No ; he only got out of his bed to come
here.

Mr. Orridge—Have you spoken to any one about this
matter since ?
Mrs. Davis—l have not. Mr. Leotard was within and
several of the barmaids.

Mr. Orridge—Are not the receipts paid into the treasury
at night ?
Mr. Orridge —Who sent for Dr. Duncan ?
Mrs. Davis--I did ; and he has attended him since.
Mr. Lewis, jun.—And two physicians have also been in
consultation.

Mr. Beadon—Let us understand where the assault took
place.

Mr. Davis—ln the treasurer's office.
Mr. Lewis, jun.—That is all the evidence I shall call to-
day, and I must ask for a remand.

Mr. Sleigh—l do not intend to ask your worship, after
the medical evidence, to discharge them, but I state that
they have a complete answer to the murderous charge pre-
ferred against them by Mr. Lewis. My clients shirk no
inquiry, but I ask that their own rocognizances may be
taken.

Mr. Lewis—lt was not known on Saturday the serious
state Mr. Davis was in when the defendants' recognizances
were taken.

Mr, Boadon—Tho medical man has stated that the pro-
secutor may be here in a week.
The defendants were then bound over in the sum of £lOO
each to appear in a week.

PRINCESSES THEATRE.—A. new farce, entitled
" The Marriage of Jeannette" has been produced here with
great success. Miss Maria Harris and Mr. Widdicombe
sustained the principle parts most effectively.
ALFRED MELLON'S CON CERTS.—This excellent
series of musical evenings came to an end on Saturday,
when Mr. Mellon's sedulous directorship and able exercise
of the conductor's baton received their reward in the solid
compliment of a house crowded to excess.
We regret to learn that Mrs. Tomson (Miss Lizzy
Stuart), who has for so long a period delighted both metro-
politan and provincial audiences with her Scottish enter-
taiuments, is lying dangerously ill.
