HULL, FEB. s.—Messrs. Thompson and Frankish's Circu-
lar states:—Since our last the weather has continued, in gene-
ral, mild, as it at present remains. Our arrivals from abroad
for the week are again unimportant, notwithstanding which
our prices for wheat do not improve, and little business has
been doing at last Tuesday's rates for English ; in the absence
of transactions in foreign, we do not alter our quotations.
Barley., both malting and grinding, sells only in retail. Beans
and peas without alteration. Oats, the same as last week.
Tares continue scarce, and fully mantain their value. In
clover seed the business still remains contracted, but should the
present temperature continue, we expect an extensive demand
during the ensuing three or four weeks ; the stocks of both
red and white are comparatively light for this period of the
year, and we think full prices will have to be paid. The mar-
ket for linseed has been quiet, and a slight reduction has been
submitted to for inferior qualities. Of rapeseed we are without
arrivals. Linseed cakes move off slowly, and barely support
their prices. Rene cakes firm at 82s 6d to Sss per ton. Bones
freely taken on arrival at 90s to 92s 6d per ton. Linseed oil
may again be bought on easier terms, at 30s to 31s 6d per cwt.
Rape oil steady at 42s 6d to 43s per cwt for brown ; refined,
45s to 46s per cwt. At to-day's market we had less wheat
offering from the farmers, and little business was done, the
millers buying sparingly at last Tuesday's prices ; in foreign
nothing doing. Other grain without alteration.
LIVERPOOL, FEE. s.—At our market to-day the wheat
trade was very languid, at about former prices. Flour of
all kinds was dull, and the turn cheaper. Barley, malt, beans,
and peas ruled much the same as on Friday. Oats and oat-
meal sold sparingly, the former barely sustained late prices,
and the latter declined fully 3d per load. There was not much
business done in Indian corn, and our quotations are abut 6d
per quarter lower.

BIRMINGHAM, FEB. 5.
Srocx ExcaAztom—The firmness of the share market,
particularly as regards the principal lines of railway, is
maintained, and the small amount of business done is to be
attributed rather to the relactince of holders of stock to
make sales than to the indisposition of parties to purch ise.
North and South Staffordsbires and Stour Valleys are. lines
of the greatest local interest. Their prices remain stationary,
at about last quotations.

Tun ST. CSARLES.—Ma. HUDSON.—This gentle-
man made his first appearance at the St. Charles last
evening, and it was a triumph—a fall, a compl€te victory
over the feelings of the audience.. He came—he was
seen—he conquered. Since the days of the never-to-be-
forgotten Power, no performer has appeared on the Bri-
tish or the American stage who so thoroughly, so faith-
fully mirrors the Irish character—the Irishman, who
adapts himself to all circumstances, and is at fault in
none—as does Mr. Hudson. Such a performer was
warted to galvanize the corpse of the St. Charles
Theatre, and the managers have found in Mr. Hudson
the man to do ft. He played last evening in Born to
Good Luck and The lrish Lion, and in both he performed
the Irishman au natural—ho gave the genuine coin, not
the base counterfeit. He was "easy," humorous, fro-
licsome, and vivacious. Mr. Hudson may not be so
scientific a singer as Mr. Collins, but his tones touch the
heart—he is an Irish singer. The medley, in which he
introduced many of the most popular airs of Moore's
melodies, in his Irish Lion, was effectively given. But
ye did not commence this paragraph with the view of
giving a critical analysis of his
performance, nor shall
we enteryou d

", 1 publicly state-that Professor Holloway's Pills and Ointment
hive cured me of several ulcerous sores, which had their
origin in imperfectly healed wounds received in the battle of
Waterloo. The pain was of constant duration, and I was con-
fined to my bed always during the harvest months. I have
now for two years been enjoying the best of health, solely in
consequence of axing Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which
cured me in a very shoat time ; in gratitude for which I pub.

The COMMON SERGEANT—Why do you comp and tell
me all this after giving the prisoner in custody? Wit-
neis—Because his first wifi came and kicked up a row.
Mr. Alden/18D FAREBROTIIER—And you will go back
to the man as soon as he comes out of prison? Wit-
ness—Sure that I will—(Roars of laughter.)
The COMMON SERGEANT—But you have no right to
him; he don't belong to you, be belongs to his first wife.
The witness shook her head, seeming very much to
doubt his Lordship's authority as to her right and title.
The COMMON SERGEANT said this r.as one of the
cases where the Court might depart from the rule laid
down to transport in bigamy cases. There was no
evidence that he had ill-used his first wife, and he had
treated Miss Wilson well, and there did not seem much
money or much beauty gained by the second marriage.
He was then *eatenced to six months' imprisonment.
John (owing, alias William Brown, 29, servant,
pleaded guilty ti several indictments, charging him with
having stolen a quantity of plate and watches, valued at
between 401. and 501., the property of Henry Perring,
George Pitmen, and another

Mr—. Cockle appeared for the prisoner.
No evidence was offered; but from the questions put
by the Court, it appeared that the prisoner, representing
himself as being in the service of her Majesty, and em-
ployed at Windsor Castle, had obtained the property
from several tradesmen. It subsequently tune,' out
that the prisoner, who had formerly
been in the plate
department at the Castle, had been dismissed.
Several witnesses having given him a good character,
he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-Ho U SE.
Mr. Charles Hammond, of No. 76, Lower Thames-
street, was summoned before Alderman Humphery, for
having sold and delivered to Edward Kendall a certain
ticket in a certain lottery called "grand distribution of
objects of art and manufacture," against the form of the
statute, whereby he became liable to a penalty of 200/.
and imprisonment for twelve months, without bail or
mainprise.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the V prosecution, and Mr.
Iluddlestore for the defence.
The justice-room was crowded upon the occasion by
gentlemen who were draws together in consequence of
the numerous mischiefs arising from the occasional en-
couragement given to such speculations in this country.
Mr. Bodkin, in addressing Alderman Humphrey, said,
I appear here in support of the summons which has
been just read, by direction of the Secretary of State
fir the Home Department, it being the determination
of the Government to suppress that which is in
re.slity a lottery, and calculated to inflict all the in-
juries of speculations of the kind, although it purports
to be a plan merely for
the promotion of the arts
and sciences. Representations had been made to the
Government to the effect that an evil which had been
already by law abolished was in danger of being revived
and brought into operation under another form, and the
police force land been consequently ordered to adopt
measures for its effectual removal altogether and for ever.
In the first instance, Messrs. Wolstenholme and• Co., the
firm employed in London by the proprietors of the fi•
reign lottery, had been applied to by an emissary fora
ticket, but they stated that they only sold tickets by
wholesale, or in large
quantities; they, however, referred
the applicant to Mr. Hammond, a Cuetam-house agent,
as a person who would accommoda'
e him with a single
ticket. Mr. Hammond, upon hearing that the customer
was referred to him by Messrs. Wolstenholme, sold
him a ticket, upon which .he paid the first instal-
ment of sr. 6d. Now the ticket was issued, or
pretended to be issued in behalf, of the State
lottery cf Berlin, and there can be no doubt that
such lottery is a li•ttery within the meaning of the
6th Geo. 11.,
person convicted of the offence of selling tickets therein
cap. 35, sec. 29, which onsets that any
shall forfeit the sum of 200/. for erery such offence, and
imprisonment fir twelve months. My friend, Mr.
Huddlestone, has intimated to me that the summons has
been served upon Mr. Hammond, jun., instead of that
gentleman's father, and that therefore I cannot support
it. I should, under such circumstances, apply for a new
summons, but that,l am instructed to say that the Ge-
vernment are satisfied that the accused is a man of re-
srestability, and that he was not aware that In selling
the ticket he was acting in violation of the law, and that
ho has given up all intention of again transgressing. I
therefore beg to stag, upon the part of the Government,
that it is not intended to proceed against Mr. Hammond;
but it is necessary that the public should be made ac-
quainted with the fast, that it is their determination, in
every future case of the hind, to fellow up the
.prosecu-
tion, the penalties arising from a conviction in which
were severe and stringent, and incapable of the slightest
mitigation by a magistrate. It is the hope of the Go-
vernment, I am bcund to add, that this intention on
their part.will be, through the press, made universally
known throughout the country.
Mr. Huddlestone—My Learned Friend is right in &-
signaling my client as .a person of respectability. He is
a gentleman carrying on business in a highly respect-
able connexion, and was concerned in his trade in the
shipping of articles reared to in this lottery. Messrs.
Wolstenholme were not, it is proper that I should say,
at all aware that the sale of tickets of the kind was an
illegal act, and the defendant's father was just as ig-
norant of its illegality, but really considered that by
selling tiokets he was contributing to a certain extent in
diffusing the advantages of commercial enterprise; and
the moment he had learned there was an Act in force
against the practice, he gave directions that not one
more ticket should be sold.
Alderman HUMPHERY—Then I am to understand
the d• fondant and his father undertake to stop the sale
etigether ? Mr. Huddlestone—Certainly.
Mr. Bodkin—The Government adopted a course
similar to that upon which I think it necessary to
act respecting the sweepstakes which have caused so
much speculation and comment, and which have been,
if not altogether abandoned, materially diminished.
Alderman lIIIMPHEItY—I trust the gentleman to
whom this case refers will be thankful for the kindness
shown to them by the Crown, and use their best er.-
deavours to put a atop to everything of :uch tendency.
I more particularly request attention to this hint, as I
