CARDIFF POLICK COURT— MOSBAT, APRIL 9. [Before Walter Coffin,Esq., Mayor.) Mr. Stockdale stated that a horse of Mrs. Thomas, maltster, Frederick-street, was allowed to play various tricks by the Servant, to the danger of the children.—The mayor requested Mr. Stockdale to take measures to put an end to the practice. Keziah Jones was charged by Mr. Stockdale with-causing a disturbance and using bad and violent language in the streets, on Tuesday night last.—The mayor ordered her to be imprisoned for one week with solitary confinement.—This individual, we believe, is one of the celebrated Whitmore-lane ladies. Elinor Hopkins was charged by Mr. Stockdale with being drunk and disorderly on Sunday morning last.—Sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonments Elinor Hughes was charged by Mr. Stockdale with using highly disgusting language in the public streets, at half-past twelve en Sunday night.—She was dismissed with a caution as to her future conduct. Jane Thomas, who has often appeared before the magistrates, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on Saturday night.—The mayor ordered her to be imprisoned for a fortnight. Ann Daniel was charged with being drunk.—She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.—Mr. Stockdale stated that she keeps a house of infamous description in Whitmore-lane. Ann Pardy, brought up on a charge of stealing coal from Mr. Powell's wharf, was remanded. Ebenezer Ilurton, charged with being drunk, was dismissed with a caution. Morris Flynn, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, was dismissed. He had in his possession when taken into custody 14s. 7d. Rees Evans appeared to answer the complaint of a vagrant boy, who had been struck by him with a stick. The blow caused a dis- location of his left elbow. The lad had been in the habit of sleeping on his lime kiln, and is a native of Barmouth, North Wales. The lad stated that he had a mother alive, but no father. He has been for some days in the workhouse, and has lately been in gaol. The defendant was allowed to settle the matter out of court, which he did by making some pecuniary recompense to the lad. Mr. Evans, schoolmaster, North-street, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. Stockdale, with respect to some houses in Stanley- street, which were not properly provided with conveniences. He was ordered to provide each house with the requisite out- buildings, and attend again on Monday next. Mr. Evans seemed to think that he was picked out as a victim but Mr. Stockdale stated that he was the only person who had appeared before the court. The mayor most emphatically stated, that it was his determination to put a stop to those dangerous nuisances that exist in Stanley-street and other places. This determination will, we hope, be the mean'! of inducing landlord and tenant to put their houses in proper order, to effect good drainage, ventilation, &c. These nuisances if not suppressed will undoubtedly cause fever of a malignant type, and neither landlord or tenant can be held guiltless, if such be the case. Several eases of over-crowded houses were mentioned to the bench, which had nothing like apartments for a sixth of the number of inhabitants. John Brown requested the bench to make an order for the return of certain old rope, chains, &c., for the possession of which he had been prosecuted. The bench refused, Alexander Gardiner appeared before. the bench to complain of his captain's detaining his clothes. If not delivered immediately a sunaioM to he issued. A sailor appeared on behalf of a Greek sailor to complain of his having been robfced in Whitmoro-lnno. XXio -worship declined to interfere in the matter. Several assault cases were dismissed, after affording the usual amount of conflicting evidence, as to who struck first, &c., and the court adjourned till 12 o'clock on Tuesday. TUESDAY, APRIL 10.-[13efore W. Coffin, Esq., Mayor.] The only business that occupied the attention of his worship was the settlement of the dispute between Alexander Gardiner and the Captain of the St. George, a Moldavian vessel. It appeared that Gardener had engaged for f3 per month, and had received his advance, and that he wished to leave before his term had expired. To this the captain objected, and detained his clothes.- His worship advised the captain to allow Gardiner to have some of his clothes in order to redeem the rest, in compensation for the money advanced. The court adjourned.

NEWPORT POLICE COURT.—MONDAY, APRIL 9. [Before the Mayor, and T. Hughes, Esq.] James Smith, a dirty-looking fellow, was charged with having on Saturday evening last, about nine o'clock, entered the shop of Miss Morgan, High-stree, and ordered some bread, cheese, tobacco, &c., and attempting to run away without paying for the same. Committed to take his trial for larceny. William England, alias Billy the Broom, was charged with selling beer without a license.—Elizabeth Thomas proved having served the beer to different individuals, but denied having received any money, England denied the charge, and said, "You will allow me to speak, wont you, sir?" The magistrates intimated that they would not call any more witnesses, as they considered the case was made out sufficiently clear against him. Fined £5, or one month's imprisonment. 11-it,. Campbell, manag-er of Mr. Bailey's wharf, was charged with illegally selling beer to the men on the wharf. Mr. Owen appeared for the prose- cution, and Mr. Philpotts defended. Mr. Owen intimated that all witnesses for the defence would leave the room. Witnesses therefore on both sirles were ordered to leave the room, and the case was tried with closed doors.— Edward Sullivan stated that he was a labouring man on the wharf; had been to the Castle Brewery for beer, but never under the order of Mr. Campbell; when the beer was brought to the wharf it was drank by the men, and the men's money went to, pay for it, but do at know who stops the money. The captains generally pay for the beer; it is the banking allowance of Is. for every 2ft tonig of iron shipped.—Mr. English, superintendent of police, stated that he called upon Mr. Campbell, and told him what he was suspected of, who immediately stated how the case stood, and said if illegal he would discontinue it. Mr. Bevan, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Bailey, said he never paid any money to the brewery for Nlr. Campbell he had received bmk allowance from many captains; he had seen bills coming to Mr. Campbell from the Castle Brewery for the allowance of the men. Thomas Grant said he had been working on the yard, but was not now; he never was dismissed by Mr. Campbell; he was employed by the foreman he did not have the same quantity of beer always, and if he did not get the beer he never had a penny of money, and was sure he never had his proper allowance. Joseph John, foreman on the wharf, said that Mr. Campbell sent tor the first cash, and that lie sent for the rest, and he kept the account of the bank allowance. There-is a little profit arising from the overplus of the beer, but nothing to Mr. Campbell; this profit over and above the beer the men have is deposited in the savings bank, on account of the men, to be applied in cases of sickness. This was an agreement made in the early part of January, between Mr. Campbell and the men. The magistrates observed that Mr. Campbell's conduct towards the men was praiseworthy, and deemed the evidence insufficiênt to justify-their fining him., Case disnÜssed accordingly. Henry Barton was charged with selling bee i, without a license., Mr. Owen defended. Ordered to pay costs, aud not to sell any more. Elizabeth Dolimore was charged with assaulting the High Bailiff of the County Court. The officer not wishing to. press the case, it was dismisedon payment of 5:1. costs. Thomas Grant was charged with allowing beer to be sold at his house before one o'clock on Sunday morning. Fined 1:8., and I Zs. 6d. costs. Sarah Arthur was also charged with opening her house for the sale of beer before one o'clock on Sunday, March 11 tli. Fined Is. and costs. Janus Hamlin was similarly charged. Fined iOs. and costs. George H'ilde-was charged by one Thomas Bevan, a sawyer, with having taken thirty pounds of feathers out of a feather bed, which he had pawned on the 5th. of January, ISiS. To pay for the leathers at I s,. per pound and costs. Thomas Richards and Robert Weeks were severally bound to keep the peace towards Hannah Davies. Edwin Smith was charged with keeping his house opeu after 11 o'clock on the 17 th of Ilarch; the house being of ill fame, and badly conducted, he was fined £ I and costs. Thomas Itees was charged with allowing his cart to go through the streets without allame.FineclIOs. and costs. Thomas Jèowlrmdswas fined 5s. and costs for leaving a train in Dock- street, in all improper place. )Fm„ B riant, a young lad about 10 years of age, and who seemed ignorant of the nature of the charge against him, was oommitied to the-House of Cor- rection for 7. days, and to be oace privately whipped, for 8taling,coal off a train.,

John Phillips, a boatman, was convicted in the penalty of £ 5 for assaulting and obstructing police constable Charles Johnstone in the, execution of his duty. No money and no good, he was therefore committed for one month to hard labour. Ann Leans was fined Is. and costs, for committing an assault on Ann Richards in a. ill of evil passion most likely.. 1 MONOw,. Aran. 9.—[Before'H A. Brace, and W. Thomas, Esq! s. J Patrick Dommui stood eharged with assaulting his own brother Daniel; the effects uf THG abuse he received by the hands of his brother were seen on nis n. b: anxious to forget and forgive, the charge was not Patrick. He was therefore discharged with a severe reprimand from the bench. Lucy Price, who was charged by P. S.Phillips with being drunk and disorderly, was reprimanded and discharged. Thomas Jones and Bees Jones, of Dowlais, were also charged by police constable Pugh with being drunk and disorderly. Fined 5s. each. Richard Williams was ordered to pay £ 4 3s. 9d,, wages due to Win.

Our quotation for Welsh bars must be considered nominal. The Scotch iron iiiarket opened very flat at from 46s. 6d. to 47s., mixed numbers. In the middle of the'week' however, some speculating purchases were made on Glasgow ac- count, and an advance of about 2s. 6d. per ton was obtained. These orders being supplied, the article has resumed its former dull and inacti ve state, which may be attributed to the absence of any legiti- mate demand, either for consumption or export, and a largo accu- mulation of stock. Present price 48s. 6d. to 49s., mixed numbers free on board at Glasgow. English tin.—A fall of 3s. ,per cwt. has been announced. In other metals no alteration.

SMI TIIFIELD. MONDAY.—The total importation of foreign stock into London last week was 1,071 head, being an increase, compared with the preceding return, of 99 head. At the corresponding period in 1848 we received 1,39-5, and in 1847 only 372 head. The arrivals Of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were considerably less than those reported on Monday last, but there was no deficiency in quality. Although this is what is termed a holiday market, the attendance of buyers was somewhat on the increase and the beef trade ruled firm, at, in some few instances, a trifle more money for the best Scots. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge- shire we received about 1,000 Scots and shorthorns, wi4h a few homebreds from the western and midland districts, 600 tierefords, runts, Devons, and Irish beasts; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds;, and from Scotland, 190. horned and polled Scots. The best old Downs, in the wool, were selling at only 4s. to 4s 2d out of the wool, 3s. 6d. to 3s. Sd. per 8 lbs., and a clearance was not effected.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—During last week the arrivals of all kinds of English grain, as well as flour, for our market, coastwise and by land car- riage, were very small, but of fair average quality. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any grain reached us. The foivicu imports were liberal, viz., 28,602 quarters of wheat, 11,01G. ditto of barley, 21,969 ditto of oats, 1,0.40 ditto of rye, 14,073 ditto of beans, 686 ditto of peas, 26-5 ditto, of tares, 80 ditto of linseed, 125 ditto of rapeseed, 19 ditto of mustard seeds, 99 ditto-of sundry seeds, 3,941 sacks, and 2,732 barrels of liour. The quantity of wheat of home produce received fresh up this morning, by land carriage and sample, was trifling in the extreme. Coastwise, the arrivals were confined to a few fine qualities from Kent and Essex. The recom- mencement of the Danish war caused the importers of foreign wheats to rule firm. Very few samples were consequently disposed of at in some instances Is. per quarter more money and the value of the middling and inferior kinds was well supported. There was a better inquiry for floating cargoes, and the extreme currencies of last week. Very little English barley was on (tiler, but the supply of foreign was good as to quailtity. The show of malt was small" nevertheless it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers,, all de- scriptions ruling dull, at last week's currencies. A large portion of the late heavy arrivals of foreign oats having been, disposed of, the number of samples here this morning was by no means extensive Fine sound corn was quite as dear, but the inferior and damp quali- ties were a mere drug. The supply of foreign beans was extensive. owing to which the sale for that article of produce was dull, and prices were a shade lower. All kinds of peas met a very dull in, quiry, but we have 1)..0 actual decline .to notice in prices. Indian corn and meal sold to a fair extent, at full prices. There was a better fueling in the flour trade, and the quotations ,of both town and country markets were supported.

WOOL MARKET. L he imports of wool into London last week were confined to 4 bales from Buenos Ayres, 480 ditto from Sydney, 12 ditto from Antwerp, and 62 ditto from Hamburgh. The prospect of heavy arrivals from our colonies, and the somewhat unfavourable accounts Tir"™ the manufacturmg districts, have induced great caution on the part of the dealers, hence the demand for all kinds of wool has be- come inactive, and the late advance is barely supported. The holders of English wool are willing sellers, at present rates.

HOPS. MONDAY.—A slight improvement has taken-place in the demand for the finest hops of last year's growth, the quantity of which on otter is very small, at extreme quotations. The middling and in- terior kinds are a slow sale, but not cheaper. Old hops may b. had as low as 10s. to 15s. per cwt. Sussex Pockets ..Ms. to 58s. }T-ei ° £ entsT- 52s. to 6880.

Town tallow has declined to 39s 6d. per cwt. net cash; rough fat, 2s ^d- per 8 lbs. Advices from St. Petersburgh represent the trade heavy, at rather lower rates.

PROVISION MARKET. INIOND-ky,-The arrivals last week from Ireland were 2,040 firkins butter, and I,o90 bales bacon and from foreign ports 8 800 casks butter, and 2,700 bales and boxes bacon. The sale for Irish butter was limited last week, and the business transacted to a moderate extent, at little or no variation in prices In foreign no change. 1 c The bacon market continues firm, and both Irish and American meet a ready sale. The late advance well supported. ENGLISH BUTTER MARKET.—We note rather ji dull trade, at declining prices, both in weekly Dorset and fresh butter, and all the make increases are prepared to see considerably lower rates, Old Dorset butter is quite: neglected,
