appears, was beastly drunk, and seized both complainants
with his two arms, something in the style in which the
great American bear is repre,,ented to hug his prey. The '
young man of course resisted his embraces, when the de-
fendant resorted to blows, struck him over the face with his
fist, then threw the old woman on the ground, and kicked
her. She was very much bruised.
The prisoner in defencevsaidthat he had been a teetotaller
for four months, and that having just come into town on
Saturday, he met with some friends, by whom he was induced
to break thotpledge. In consequence he became so drunk
that he did not know what he was doing, and had no recol-
lection of committing the assault for which he stood charged.
—He was fined 405., or twenty-one days' imprisonment.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
One of those impostors that throng the streets, seeking
alms by every mode of supplication, was brought before the
Magistrate, charged with begging—his name is Farnell.
Police-constable 172 N, deposed that the fellow being
drunk on Saturday evening, went about High-street, stop-
ping everybody he met, and seeking alms. One gentleman
he asked for a penny, and when refused asked him if he
would" stand a pint of beer ?" The gentleman refused, and
the prisoner then went into several shops, not craving, but
demanding money. One shopkeeper, Mr. Prentice, refused
to give him any money, and the prisoner immediately asked
him if he would have some money from him. The constable
swore that several people told him that many tradesmen had
been much alarmed by him.
The prisoner told a rambling story about misfortunes on a
voyage from Liverpool, which had about the same semblance
to truth as that of Sinbad, the sailor. He said his wife was
in the neighbourhood, and
Mr. GREENWOOD remanded him, that the veracity of his
statement might be inquired into.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.):

CORN-EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been con-
siderably less than this day se'nnight. Of most other kinds
of Grain the receipts were by no means larger. Fresh :up
only a limited quantity of Wheat of home produce was re-
ceived from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, yet the stands
were on the whole partly supplied wish samples. Fine
qualities of both red and white commanded a steady sale, at
prices: fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight,
while in most other kinds a fair amount of business was
doing, at late rates. The show of free Foreign Wheat
was small, but generally speaking holders were firm.
A few sales took place in Barley under locks, but all other
bonded Grain was a mere drug. The show of Barley was, on
the whole, extensive, yet there was an improved inquiry for
that article, the quotations of which were supported in every
instance. Notwithstanding the returns show a large arrival
of Malt, the supply here to-day was by no means extensive.
The best season• made parcels were in fair request at full
prices, but in other kinds comparatively little was doing.
The supply of Oats was only moderate ; most kinds sold
steadily at fully last week's currencies. Beans, Peas, and
Flour rather inactive, but not cheaper. The same may be
said of most kinds of seeds.
