CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales only about 2,000 bags at previous rates; including 170
Maranham, at 6%d.; 150 Egyptian, at 64d. to 10%d., and
1,700 American at 4d. to 54d. per lb. There was not quite so
much business doing in Shares, but prices well supported.
There is an arrival from Buenos Avres to-day, but the ad-
vices by it are not later than those before received.
The extension of railway accommodation in Wales will be
in all probability greatly accelerated by the adoption by the
Legislature of one or more of the projects that is now, and has
been for some time, before the public. The range of country
to be traversed by the Great North and South Wales and
Worcester Railway, is exceedingly favorable, em-
bracing a large population (a most material in-
gredient in estimating probable returns . for the
future), and abounding, too, with agricultural as well
as with mineral sources of profit, all of which are of the most
legitimate character. At the present time the great internal
resources of this part of the principality is wholly unpro-
vided with a railway or other convenient inland communi-
cation. It is a fact, too, of considerable importance that the
owners and lessees of the rich and important mines and
quarries of North Wales desire a cheaper and
better communication with the central and southern
districts of the principality. The payment of the
first instalment has been completed in the most prompt man-
ner, and there can be little doubt but that the Provisional
Committee will make out a sound case for the concession of
the line by the Imperial Parliament.
The colonial produce markets are steady to-day, with a
considerable amount of business in progress by private con-
tract.
Consols for the Account have been firm at 981%, and for

If the information communicated to us this morning be
correct, the Railway King, Mr. Hudson, M.P., will throw
in his influence into the York and Lancaster projected line of
Railway, with some slight variation as the route at first laid
out. It is hardly possible to estimate the weight this will
have in the successful ,progress of the Company through
Parliament. The Share market was firm to-day, with a full
average amount of business doing.

SECONDARIES.-( TH IS DA Y.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PorrEE.)
WELLS V.' SHAW.
This was an action to recover the suns of 10/. 4s. 4d., for
medicines supplied.
Mr. Tuoarns appeared for the plaintiff and contended that
his client was entitled to payment for medicines supplied in—
cidental to an operation.
The question raised in defence was, that the production of
the diploma was not proof, but that the beadle of the company
ought to be called to certify the se.ll of the company.
The Learned SECONDARY said that rule had been avoided
by law—the common seal of a company was admitted.
Mr. THOMAS said that the learned gentleman must have
be;n asleep c uring the paring of the Act.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Harling, a woman, 26 years of age, and not three
feet high, was charged with stealing a jug and one penny
from a child, five years old, the daughter cf Mr. Langmore,
a respectable tradesman in Woodbridge street, Clerkeuwell.
The offence is a very aggravated one. The girl had been
sent by its mother fur half a pint of porter, and on the road'
to a public-house the prisoner stopped her, and pointing to
the residence of a gentleman, requested her to go there and
a4c for " Sarah," at the same moment taking fiom the child
the jug and the money. When she returned the prisoner
had left, and from the description given by the child of the
prisoner, the latter was apprehended while offering the jug
for sale to a marine store dealer.

The constable, in answer to Mr. Combe, said that he had
reaFon to believe he could bring forward several other charges
of felony against the prisoner, who - consequently was re-
manded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Smith, about 40 years of age, wearing a very long
beard, whose appearance denoted the very extreme of human
wretchedness and defilement, and clad in filthy tatters
swarming with vermin, was charged with vagrancy.
Police-constable C No. 127, stated that between four and
five o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the 'prisoner in
Piccadilly, sitting en the step of a door; a crowd of persons
were around him, attracted by his singular appearance, and
many, compassionating the miserable condition he was in,
gave him money. Witness, knowing him to be an old
offender, took him into custody. •
Mr. lIARDWICKE—Then the prisoner is a known beggar?
Constable—Yes, sir; he has been about the town for years;
he does not ask for anything, but places himself in the most
public thoroughfares to excite charity, and generally reaps
a pretty good harvest, -which he speedily dissipates in
drunkenness.

Mr. HAnnwicK—He will find that he is not to subsist by
public mendicancy. To the prifoner—How many tunes have
you been sent to prison ? Prisoner—About once as I can re-
collect ; but as I may be mistaken I'll say I'm quite sure its
not more than twice.

Mr. HARDWICK asked if such was the case ?—Wilks, the
gaoler, said he had been committed from this Court dozens
of times.

Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner if he had any hom3 or
habitation 2—Prisoner said he lived in Field-lane, Holborn,
and worked for his living when he cauld get. anything 'eo do.
He was committed fon ten days. On his reception at the
prison his hair will be cut short, and having been placed in
a warm-bath and strictly cleaneed, clean and wholesome
apparel will be supplied to him.
Rosina Bird, a strong, gaunt female, was charged with
committing a most violent assault on Mary Anne Miller,
whereby her life was endangered.
It appeared that between three and four o'clock this morn-
ing, a quarrel having ensued between them at Hyde Park-
corner, the prisoner attacked Miller in a savage and furious
manner, tore her c'othes from off her, and, after inflicting
several severe Licks' about the lower part of her person,.
seized her head between her hands, and beat it. violently
and for many times, first against the iron railings of the park,
and then the flag• stones of the foot-pavement. The police
coming up terminated the affray, and the prisoner having
been taken to the station-house, it was found necessary to
procure surgical aid for Miller, who was unable to attend this
morning.
. _

The prisoner was remanded until Wednesday next.

Two Houns' TROTTING MATCR —Yesterday the
match between Mr. Williams's bay horse and Mr. Wentley's
black horse, came off over five miles of the Godstone road.
The terms of the match were, that the horses should start
together in harness, and continue on the road for two hours,
and the horse travelling the greatest distance within the
stipulated time to be entitled to the stakes, which were 201.
a side; the drivers of the horses to be permitted to proceed
and stop at their discretion during the contest, and the
agreement was, that in case of breaking from a trot, the
horse to be immediately pulled in and again to cover the
ground not fairly trotted. The horses went away at a
steady pace, and turned the first five miles in 24 minutes, the
black leading at 200 yards; they concluded the next five
miles in 22% minutes, and were pulled in and refreshed, and.
then went on the road. They kept together the next nye
miles, and occupied 23 minutes in covering the distance.
'They were then brought up to the starting mark; after com-
pleting 20 miles in 91% minutes they were allowed 15
minutes breathing time, and then started for the remaking
distance, quite fresh, and the great struggle now commenced.
The hay horse took the lead, and performed this five miles in
21% minutes, and at its completion was 300 yards in ad-
vance. They then rattled away, and the black horse was
brought up, and was soon in advance, and at the expiraticn
of the two hours was 400 yards ahead, having covered 2G
miles in the specified time. The bay horse accomplished 26./1
miles, the 15 minutes stoppage exclusive.
ROWING MATCH ON THE MERSEY.—The smilers'
contest for 50/. a side between Henry Clasper, of Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and Thomas Carrol. of Liverpool, came off last
Monday, on the Mersey, but was, altogether, a very hollow
race. The match had created considerable excitement at
Liverpool and Newcastle, and partially so in London ; and
from the reputation the men had acquired as smilers, a very
first-rate contest had been expected. Though both men had
been for a length of time in active training, they had each by
turns been very unwell. Clasper, however, had recovered
by the day of rowing, but his opponent was still suffering
much. The distance to he rowed was five miles, and betting,
which had stood for some time at two to ore on Clasper, was
materially increased in odds as the time approached for start-
ing. The start, which took place in the presence of an im-
mense assemblage, was very evenly taken, but immediately
afterwards Clasper drew ahead, and went rapidly away from
his opponent. In the first two miles Clasper was a third of a
mile in advance, and in three miles was half a mile ahead.
He then relaxed, and, taking it gently, won by two minutes.
Carrol never stood a shadow of a chance.
PRESENTATION OP THE NEW SHERIFFS.—The new
Sheriffs of the City of London and county of Middlesex,
William J. Chaplin, Esq., and J. Laurie, Esq., were on Tues-
day, agreeably to ancient custom, presented to the Cursitor
Baron (W. G. Bankes, Esq.), in the Court of Exchequer,
Westminster, and received in the usual form her Majesty's
approbation of the choice the livery bad made of the gentlemen
to fill that high and important office for the year ensuing.
The Common Sergeant. in the absence of the Berordei:, m
troduced the new Sheriff's to the Cursitor Baron in a highly
complimentary speech. 'llls usual ceremony of counting
horse-shoes and hob-nails, and cuttingof sticks,
was then
ia
performed by the senior alderman w
civic chair, and the members ofthe'o has not ssed the
corporation returned to
Guildhall In the evening the new Sheriffs gave their
WINDSORenh CASTLE,—
atitTteEN LondonTsAT Tavern.
THE dinner
Several visitors arrived at Windsor on Tuesday, for the pur-
pose of inspecting the state apartments, which were closed.
It will be the means, perhaps, of preventing many similar
disappointments to state that, during the sojourn of the
Court at Windsor Castle, the state rooms will not be open to
visitors on Tuesdays and Fridays.
_

Prince and Princess de bemidoff, accompanied by
M. de Kozuchouski and M. Kultur, have arrived at Thomas's
Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Germany and Italy. The
Prince is said to be the richest noble in Russia.
The French Government have ordered the building
of three new steemers for the naval, service between Calais
and Dover. One of them is to he on the screw-propelling
principle. The two 'French 'nail-packets now in the service
at Crlaislwill be taken off that station.
BURGLARY.—Yesterday morning between -twelve
and seven o'clock, a burglary w,'As effected on the prembes of
Mr. Smarting, a hosier. residing in Albion-street, New-road,
which was discovered when Mr. Smarting opened his shop in
the morning. The thieves had effected an entrance by
means of false keys, and had plundered the shop of a great
portion of its contents, and had likewise put on new shirts and
stockings, leaving their old ones behind ; they had also made
their way-to the kitchen, where they regaled themselves with
some beef and ale.

THE GRAVESEND POST-OFFICE RODHERY.—SIN.
OULAR DISCOVERY OF TIIE STOLEN Ilmts.—lt will be re-
membered that the mail bags were stolen from the post-office
at Gravesend, on the night of Friday, the 27th of June. ITp
to Saturday last no trace of missing bags or any portion of
their contents could be obtained, when on that day they
were discovered within a hundred yards of the spot from
whence they had been stolen. An uninhabited house in
Edwin-street being about to be occupied, sweeps were em-
ployed to cleanse the chimneys, and from one of which the
bags and rifled letters were brought to light. It is said that
some of the notes obtained by this robbery have been nego-
tiated in France.
