MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN ITALlAN.—Giovanni
an Italian street musician, was brought before
Mr. Hardwick, charged with violently assaulting David
Rees.

The prosecutor was not able to attend, being at pre-
sent in Middlesex Hospital in a mcst dangerous state
from the injuries he had received. A certificate signed
by the house-surgeon to the above effect was produced,
when a young man named Shernon, who had witnessed
the assault, stated that yesterday afternoon he was in
Charles-street listening to the prisoner and his com-
panions playing, when he saw the man who is at present
in the hospital,?go up and speak to one of the men
who was playing the harp, and who in reply laughed, as
in a good-humoured manner. The prisoner then, with-
out the least cause or provocation, left his com-
panions and seizing hold of David Rues, threw him with
great violence into the road, the back part of his head
coming in contact with the kerb stone. Witness ran
forward and picked him up in an insensible state, and on
carrying him to a surgeon's it was found that the back
part of his skull was fractured. A constable was then
called and the prisoner was given into custody. Roes
eras subsequently taken to the hospital.
The prisoner denied the charge and said the injured
man used insulting language, and eventually struck him;
in return ho (prisoner) merely gave him a push when he
fell down.
Mr. HAnDwicx remanded the prisoner until Wednes-
day next.
RoZBERY AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. John
Williams, a young man with about 20 aliases, was
charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of
Mr. John Hinde Hale, brewer, No. 11, Oxford-street.
The prosecutor deposed that on the previous night
he was at the promenade concert at her Majesty's Thea-
tre, and on making his way through the crowd he felt a
tug at his watch. He locked round and saw the pri-
soner close by his side, and on witness feeling in his
pocket he missed his watch, which had been cut
away from the guard. Witness immediately collared
the prisoner, and taxed him with robbing him
of his watch. The prisoner denied it, and having extri-
cated himself from witness's grasp, endeavoured to
make his escape from the house. Witness, however,
kept him in sight until he got to the door, when he gave
him in charge to a constable.
Police. sergeant Mount said he received charge of the
Dri over, and conveyed him to the station, where he was
searched, but the watch was not found. The prisoner
was a member of the swell mob, and was well known to
the poliee.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re-
manded till Saturday next.

tion thirteen pawn-tickets fur watches and eleven for
pieces of silk were found upon him.

about town selling pawn-tickets.

CORN EXCHAN GE.-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to-day's
market (from a good clearance of the supply being
effected on Monday) was small. On the whole, the de-
mand for that grain ruled steady, and last week's quota-
tions were well supported. The imports of foreign
Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quarters. Selected
parcals were in fair request, at fully late rates. In the
middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing.
Fine Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as dear. In•
ferior qualities cammanded very little attention. Malt—
the supply of which was on the increase—ruled heavy,
but svo have no decline to notice in prices. There %Nils
less doing in Oats, at about stationary prices. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were much neglected. Flour was
held at full rates of currency.

WILITZICPUIPZL.
The general demand rultd heavy, and late rates were
not supported. Beef, from 2s Od to 3s 4d; Mutton,
6.1 to 3s 83; Veal, 23 10d to 3s 6d; and Pork, 3s 03
to 4s 2d per Sibs by the carcase.

Our market continues steady for all kinds of new

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
KENNY V. ARCHDELL—SLANDER.
This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action
for slander, the defendant having suffered judgment to go
by (1.-fault. The plaintiff is one of the clerks on the
Blackwell Railvvay, end defendant is a young man of
good family residing at Shad well.

Mr. Parry appear—ed for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clark-
son for the defendant; and it was agreed that a verdict
should be Lken by consent for 5/.
Mr. Palmy said it would be unnecessary for him to
go into the particulars of the case, as the defendant had
expressed his regret for using unwarrantable expressions
towards the plaiutiff, who was only performing his duty;
and there was no imputation on his integrity, and he was
still in the company's employ.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, expressed his regret
that the lanAuao had ►been used in a moment of irrita-
tion arising out of a dispute relating to some tickets.
It was clearly a mistake, and defendant wished to
mike tho best amends ho could by acknowledging
his error.
The jury gave a verdict for Si.
