Edward James Sale, a bootmaker, living at No. 9,
Graham's-buildings, Freerston's-ails';, St. Luke's, was
charged with stabbing Mary, he C.e. whereby her lite
is in imminent danger.
The prisoner, who tremhled violently en being pleeed
in the dock, was undefended. He is apperentlN b.tween
30 and 40 years of age ; he was ragged and filthy in his
dress, and dissipated in his look.
Police-sergeant James Brennan, 20 G, deposed as fol-
lows :—Yesterday, at three o'clock, p.m , I was irt the
Featherstone-street station-house, a man can-e there end
trot! me that a woman had been stabbed in Graham's
buildings. I hastened thither, and in a re m en the
second floor, I saw a woman supported on a chair by
two females. She was speechless. On the floor before
her was a pool of blood, about a pint, and on the table
was a knife wet with blood. (I'he constable produced
the knife, the blade of which was stained with blood
almost to the hilt.) There were three men in the room,
two of whom, named Bolton and Pattison, were drunk.
The prisoner was not drunk. He seemed greatly ex-
cited and agitated. He might have been drinking.
When I went in a surgeon's assistant, who had dressed
the wound, was leaving it. I sent forthwith for Mr..
Leeson, the police surgeon. Tee weman seemed in a
state of collapse, but groaned occasionally. I told the
prisoner " You must consider yourself in my custody for
stabbing your wife." H e semed greatly excited and
distressed, and replied, " Oh dear, oh dear, I did, and
lam very sorry for it." Bolton exclaimed, "You
flung the knife at her." The prisoner said " Yes."
She was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I
took up the bloody knife, and holding it in my hand,
said, " Here is the knifefe, I believe, with which the
wound was inflicted." The prisoner made no reply.
When the surgeon came, I saw the wound, which is on
the left breast. When the surgeon removed the lint the
wound began to bleed afresh. She was then conveyed
to the hospital. The sergeant produced the following
certificate, from Mr. Reid, surgeon at the hospital :
" This is to certify that Mary Sale was admitted into St.
Bartholomew's Hospital on the 4th instant, with a wound
on the upper part of her chest, which has perforated the
left lung, and that she still continues in a very precarious
state."
The prisoner was here about to say somethinE, but
was directed to "keep quiet" by an eflieer of the Court.
It will be remarked that when called upon afterwards he
declined to say anything. -
William Bolton deposed that ire was in the room at
the time the occurrence took place. He was not very
drunk at the time. The prisoner was his relative. They
were taking their tea wh n the prisoner aid his wife
quarrelled. She called him very bad names.

MARKET NEWS. (YESTERDAY.)
CORN BXCH
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been, the
time of year considered, moderately good, end of full average
quality, while those of Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas,
have been limited. Of Irish Oats the receipts have been far
from extensive; while from abroad the imports have been
rather limited. Fresh up, only a limited quantity of
home-grown Wheat was received ; hence the stands
were rather scantily filled with samples of both red and
white. On the whole, the attendance of both town and coun-
try dealers was rather limited, yet the finest parcels were in
steady request, at prices about equal to those paid on Mon-
day last. In all other qualities comparatively little was
doing, yet the rates were mostly supported. At the close
of business a total clearance was not effected.
We continue to receive very flattering accounts respecting
the young wheats from nearly every part of the country.
There was very little foreign Wheat on offer. Good sound
parcels free of duty were in fair request, but all other
kinds were a mere drug In prices we can
notice no variation. Bonded Gr.in was almost
nominal. The Malting season being now nearly over,
indeed, many of the large masters have already reseed
the Barley trane was very dull, at barely stationary
figures. In Malt, the supply of which was small, we have
.eery few sales to report; but when they were pressed, lower
"ere complied with. The Oat trade was steady at fully
rates • erices; while Beans and Peas were quite as dear.

During the past week the Giraffe, Ocean, and Batavier
steamers have arrived in the River from Rotterdam, having
on board 101 Oxen and Cows, together with eight Calves,
in, for the most part—though their quality has proved by
no means so prime as we have noticed on some
previous occasions—fair average condition. The num
ber of foreign Beasts here did not exceed
25, and which mostly found buyers at full rates of
currency—viz., from' 161 to 181 per head. The Calves were
worth 31 lOs to 4l 53 each.- At the outports, no stock has
been received from Holland, but several imports are, shortly
expected at Hull. It will be observed, from our weekly
returns, that a very great increase has taken place in
the importations of Dutch Beasts this season, compared
with those of last;. yet we are quite of opinion, judging from
the accounts which have just come to hand, that a further
improvement will be noticed in them for some time hence.
Although a portion of the Beasts and Sheep here to-day was
suffering from the effects of the epidemic, the disease presented
itself in a mitigated form, as very few losses have been
experienced in transmitting the supplies to our markets.
On the whole, the number of beasts here this morning, de-
rived from our own districts, were seasonably extensive,
while a slight improvement was apparent in those received
from Norfolk. The dead markets being well cleared of
their late arrivals, the weather somewhat favourable
to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers rather
numerous, the Beef trade was active,
