HALL..-(THISUNION DAY.)

Edward Afontague and Charles Wilson, two sur-
geons, were charged with creating a disturbance and
assaulting a policeman on the preceding night.
The defendants had been at one of the taverns in
the borough, where they got mellow, and on quitting
at twelve o'clock, the moment they got into the street
commenced larking and jostling up against every
person they met. A policeman on duty seeing the
manner in which they were going on, spoke to them,
requesting they would conduct themselves with more'
decorum, upon which they pitched into him, and seizz'
ing his rattle, sprung it, and soon collected a number
of other policemen, who with difficulty regained pos-,
session of the rattle and secured the defendants.
The defendants said they were extremely sorry for
the manner in which they acted on the occasion. That
they had been locked up in a cell the whole of the
night, and expiated for their folly.
They were fined 20s. each, or seven day? impri-
sonment.

QUEEN-SQUARE.—(T HIS DAY.)
Wm. Kauk, a private soldier in the Grenadier
Guards, was charged with stealing an umbrella and a
bundle containing a suit of clothes, the property of
Thomas Dorrell.

The complainant, a simple-looking countryman
from Burnham, in Buckinghamshire, said that he was
a last-maker, and came to London to purchase some
articles for his business. While walking up Tothill-
street yesterday afternoon with his umbrella and.
bundle in either hand, he met the prisoner and an-
other soldier, and being
.rather a little the worse of
liquor he took the two into a public-house to treat
them; from this they adjourned to another, and while
in this last house, the prisoner took his property, and
ran out of the house with it. He was brought
back by a policeman, and taken to the station-house.
Police-constable 87 B said, he watched the three
from one public-house to the other, and seeing the
soldier running off with the umbrella and bundle, he
gave chase and overtook him.
The Sergeant of the prisoner's company gave him
a three years' character for honesty and sobriety.
Mr. BOND said he would remand the case till to-
morrow, to ascertain what passed at the public-house.

contained 1,838 boxes yellow Havannah, which was
all taken in at 20s to 22s 6d for low to fine quality,
being the extreme value ; but at those prices there
were not purchasers. The transactions privately
consist chiefly of about 450 hhds of Porto Rico, which
have been sold (for refining in bond) at 18s 6d,
3,000 bags Manilla, at 15s to 19s, mostly of low
quality, at the former price, and 5,000 baskets Java,
at 22s 6d to 245, all of which are extreme rates. The

TEA.—Thepublic sales of 60,000 packages are now
in progress, and yesterday of 15,600 packages offered
only 2,300 were sold, the holders buying in largely to
support the market, so that the quotations realised
were generally as good as before the China news came
to hand; Congous of good quality, however, being
per lb. lower. To-day sales are going oil much
the same, and the holders are withdrawing very freely,
still determined, apparently, to support the market.
