CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Foley was charged with threatening to murder his
wife, and with having violently assaulted her and also police-
constable 124 E. _ _ _

It appeared from his evidence, that on Saturday night last
the constable was on duty in Brunswick-square, when he heard
cries of" Murder" proceed from a house in Marchmont-place ;
he hastened thither, and, on ascending the staircase, saw the
prisoner standing over his wife, and beating her in the most
brutal manner. The constable rushed in, but had scarcely
entered the room, when the prisoner pushed him 'out again,
and, striking him a violent blow on the breast, knocked the
officer against the bannisters. The bannisters gave way, and
the unfortunate constable was precipitated down to the next
landing, and his hand coming under him, was severely
sprained. An outcry was raised, and the police and civilians
rushed in and secured the wife and officer from further vio-
lence.

Waddington said the prisoner was one of the worst cha-
racters in that neighbourhood; he had been frequently con-
victed of assaults on the police.
Sergeant Lester,.lo E, said the prisoner's wife refused to
prosecute, fearing his violence when lie came out of prison.
The prisoner•denied the assault" and said. he had several
witnesses to disprove it, but when called upon to produce
them not one came forward.
• Mr. Connz sent Wni to the HoifSe •of Correction for a
month, without fine.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL, PORTUGAL-STREET.—
Yesterday morning a sermon, on behalf of the funds of this
charity, was preached at the College, in the Strand, by the
Rev. it. W. self, D.D. In the course of a very eloquent and
impressive sermon, the Rev. Gentleman strongly impressed
upon those present the value and importance of an institution
like that of King's College Hospital, administering as it did to
the wants of .a dense and increasing population. During the
years this lio3pital" has been established, thousands of suffer-
ing and almost perishing individuals ha,te received medical
advice and assistance. At the conclusion of the service the
handsome aura I'ii4 collected of (within it fraction) 501.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CiTY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, was in a
dull state : sales only I,soo"bales, all to the trade. Shares were
steady, and in many instances higher. The demand was
good, especially for the French lines It is very satisfactory
to find that the mania fur speculation in Cotton and in Shares
has very considerably subsided.
There were no colonial advices in town this morning.
As to the state of the manufacturingAistricts, some informa-

tion has been received this morning from a source upon which
much reliance may be placed. Our informant remarks thus :
;---" The sanguine expectations of- an -extensive-spring trade,
which were ripe at the end of last, and the beginning of the
present year, led to large operations by capitalists in, the raw
staple of the woollen and stuff fabrics in Yorkshire The im-
petus thus given, induced a corresponding demand for
Worsted Yarns ; contracts were eagerly offered by manufac-
turers, and prices rapidly advanced. The textile article,
when manufactured, has not obtained a corresponding ad-
vance, and, as might 'be expected, a pause has ensiled, the
consequence of which is that prices have a downward ten-
dency. As yet many of the spinners are engaged with
former orders not yet completed, but, as their engagements
run out, they show a disposition to take engagements at
lower rates." At the same time, it is to be remarked that

the principal spinners refuse to accept large orders at any
very considerable reduction, the expectation being that trade
will very soon improve.
The commercial accounts received from Hull this mom-

ing note an improved demand for Linseed there, and as the
arrivals. from the north of Europe had been very small,
higher prices had been submittid to. This is a branch of
trade which is increasing in importance. The circular of
Messrs. Wright and Young, of Hull, as to the present condi-
tion and the future prospects of the trade of the country, ob-
serves, in reference to the corn trade at that important port
—" The transactions• in free foreign wheat have been to a
very limited extent, at somewhat reduced prices-. The same
has also been the case at the other principal ports, as well as
at most of the markets for home-grown throughout, the
kingdom, prices generally showing a downward-Tendency.
This position of the trade at the present time excites some
surprise, and is difficult to be accounted for. In the several
descriptions of spring corn the business has been limited, and
prices are lower, rather than otherwise."
Many purchases of Consols have been made this morning
at *Rhin of par. The Commissioners took 30,000/. Consols
at 99k. The price for Account has been the same, the open-
ing rate having been 98k. The New Three-and-a-Half per
Cent. Annuities have advanced to 1024, NeW South Sea An-
nuities to 98k, Bank Stock for the opening to 200 k, and
India. Bonds are at 88 premium. Exchequer Bills at 68s. to
70s. premium.
Au improved demand has existed this morning for the
Spanish Bonds, but the extreme prices are but a shade above
those of Saturday. The Three per Cents. have fluc-
tuated between 37f and 38, and the Actives from
26f to 26g. Deferred Stock has realised frOm 15i
to ,15f. The lowest range is now the more pre-
valent. The dividends on . Dutch Five per • Cents.
are in course of payment this morning, and they are quoted
at 99a to ex the interest. Brazilian Stock is also sold ex
div., and is at 80. Colombia, ex Venezuela, remains at from
15i to 15i; Peruvian at 31 and at 30j; Mexican at
37 to 37k ; and the Deferred Stock at 17i and 17.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares have im-
proved this morning, as well as the Bristol and Exeter, the
Edinburgh and Glasgow, the French lines, and the Stras-
bourg and Berle.- For Real del Monte Unregistered 5a have
been paid, and for Bolanos Scrip, 6L.

FINE AMTS -(THIS
DIORAMA. -

We were favoured this morning with a private view (pre-
vious to the public opening to-morrow) of the Interior of the
Abbey Church' of St. Ouen at Rouen, Which is the new
painting exhibited at the Diorama. It is a picture that dis.r
plays the most striking 'effects of light and shade, sunlight
and moonlight, and maintains unbroken harmony in every
change. The first view of the Interior, of the- Abbey, over
the full length of which the eye trai-els Tat a: glance, pro-
duces a most impressive effect on the-mind of the spectator,
if only from the extreme reach of the per4lective, the lofty
and symmetrically proportioned arches,. the magnificent
stained windows, and . the immense- height of the vault-
ing which apparently exceeds that of ...Westminster
Abbey. The Interior is first beheld in the- full light of
Mid-day, Which, however, streams in, not in a burst of
splendour, but in a sober and mellowed radiance, just
sufficient to bring out the varied- tints of the stained
glass windows. Presently, the lighC graidually dies away'
—the grey, sombre shadows of evening draw on, enve-
loping every object in a thin, filmy: haze—the night
with its thick• and raven gloom next shuts out from view
even the minutest features of the Abbey; and, ulti-
mately, the • moon 'rises bright and cloudless, while, at the
same time, th 6 whole Interior is seen brilliantly illuminated
by lamps, which exhibit, in picturesque relief a vast crowd
of worshippers, who are kneeling, in the solemn stillness
of awe, on. the floor of the abbey. We must not omit to
add that during the performance of tbese rites of wor-
ship, the organ is heard rolling in -a majestic stream of
sound through the cathedral, and filling the vast space with
its harmony. Of all the pictorial delusions that have yet been
exhibited at the Diorama, we conceive this to be the most
perfect, for in no one instance is it marred bS,..any *defects of
drawing, or exaggerated display of colouring. Of the second
view, namely, that of Notre Dame, we haie,alfeady spoken.

PERPETUAL SNOW.—M. Agassiz has made some
experimental researches amongst the Alps, to determine
the limits of perpetual snow, and has read a paper before
the Academy of Sciences. It appears that each succeeding
year leaves behind it its region of snow, Enid that a vast
number of years may thus be traced. The superficial bed
distinctly shows the quantity that has fallen in thil preceding
season, but little further knowledge has yet been gained.—

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAk.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

For the finest descriptions of English wheat, fresh UP,
the demand was, on the whole, steady, at prices about equal
to those obtained on this day se'nuight ; but, in all other
kinds, exceedingly little was doing, and, in some instances,
the currencies had a downward tendency. For free Foreign
Wheat no progress could be effected in sales. In bonded
grain, the rates were nominally unaltered, at about last week's
prices. The best parcels of Oats were held at full prices;.
the middling and inferiorkinds 6d per quarter cheaper: Beans
and Peas at last week's figur.es. In Flour prices tended
downwards.

APPALLING OCCURRENCE at t(1
ADELPHI THEATRE, -GLASGO/!

(From the Gasgow Citizen of Sattirday:) tl3B
Last night one of those appalling incidents occurred at of
Adelphi Theatre, which illustrate so- forcibly the effects
a sudden panic upon a large crowd. The evening's strt
formances were for the benefit of Mr. J. Grey, a: poP J
member of Mr. Miller's company, and boxes, pit, 70s
gallery were crowded •to excess. Everythin&.. lotto
well till about half-past ten o'clock, when a mho) a 7,0
of fire arose in the gallery. A 'fire had broken 'Wed
another part of the town—namely, in the pre to
of Mr. Niven, printer, Glassford-street, which, hoWever,
speedily extinguished ; and it appears that the alarm vats,og
cautiously sounded in the theatre for the purpose of get'ned
out certain men belonging to the fire brigade who hapPe'to
to be among the audience and who, according we beliviejpg
custom, had left notice where they were in case of their
required. The scene which ensued it is impossible to describe
In a moment all was confusion and dismay. The rush t0,:,.0
doors, and over the gallery and boxes into the pit,- and 4i
the pit upon the stage, was tremendous. Large numbers.'
thrown down and trampled under foot, and the noise 0,
shrieking which prevailed rendered any attempt at kept
planation utterly 'hopeless. Several of the actors- P•tbe
their ground and made every exertion to pacify
audience—others rushed, apparelled as they were, foie
the street ; and a considerable time elapsed beisi
order was even partially restored. Fortunately it e
found that no one was killed, but numbers were much htl.'-eet
some, we regret to say, seriously. Mr. Miller, the rnanild
was untiring in his efforts to minister to the bruised tam
wounded, several of whom he sent home in noddies. Dr..Efrt)
surgeon to the police establishment, and Dr. King, -
Hanover-street, were speedily upon the-spot, and the suu`'oo
received all the attention which was. possible under evet
circumstances. Many were of course much mote fright,,y
than hurt, and the confusion was increased by friends '1;e0
ing friends, and by exaggerated rumours of the nultipto,
injured, as well as of the extent of 'the injuries. At the et
hour at which we write, and so soon after the occurrenceg
