CHARGE OF STABBLNG.—Sarah Best, the wife of a shoe-
maker, in Cottage-place, Walworth, was charged before Mr.
Traill with stabbing Thomas Best, her husband, with a shoe-
maker's knife, and wounding him severely.
Policeman 130 P stated that about six o'clock that morn-
ing, while on duty in Walworth, he was informed that a man
was stabbed at a house in Cottage-place. He went there im-
mediately, and found Thomas Best in the parlour of the
house bleeding profusely from two wounds, one in the breast
and the other on the shoulder. Seeing the man was very
bad he took him to the hospital, where his wounds were
dress9d, and he was not in a fit state to be brought forward
now.

A woman, named Manning, who lives opposite, stated that
the prisoner and her husband had been quarrelling for some
days, and that she (witness) was alarmed that morning on
hearing the prisoner exclaim " For God's sake como into the
house ; I've done it." The witness went. in, and seeing her
husband bleeding, bound up his wounds as well as she could,
and having given information of what happened, the pri-
soner was then taken into custody.
The dresser of St. Thomas's Hospital described the nature
of the wounds, and the prisoner, who said nothing in answer
to the charge, was remanded until Monday.
Thomas Steward was charged, before Mr. Trail], with hav-
ing attempted a very impudent robbery on board a vessel
lying off London-bridge.
It appeared that between three and four o'clock that morn-
ing an apprentice on board' a brig, being awakened while in
his hammock in the forecastle, aroused his shipmates, and a
light having been procured, the prisoner was found concealed
behind one of the seaman's ehests. On examining the fore-
castle it was discovered that the prisoner had packed up a
quantity of the clothes belonging' to the-crew, and was just
about making his exit with them when a discovery took place
as above described.' •

It having been stated that. the prisoner was well known
about the water'-side as a person of bad character he was com-
mitted for twenty-one days to hard labour.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY

CORN-EXCItaNGE.
Although the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market
this week have been but scanty, the demand for that article
was extremely dull, and in some instances purchases were
effected on lower terms. Not a single transaction took place
in foreign ; hence the quotations were nominal. The best
malting Barley supported its value, but grinding and dis-
tilling sorts were a mere drug. Malt, Oats, Beans, Peas, and
Flour were unaltered.

The supply of Beasts was seasonably good as to numbers,
but of middling and inferior quality, if we except the re-
ceipts from Scotland—in number about 290. The Beef
trade was again in.a very depressed state, and prices had a
downward tendency. The number of Sheep was compara-
tively small, yet the sale for them was inactive, at barely
late rates. The Lamb trade was active, at an improvement
of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Calves moved off briskly, and
their currencies were noted 2d per 81bs higher. Pigs were
quite as dear, with a good demand. Mitch Cows sold at from
101 to 191. each.
