The titillate (third dew) ...Id par Puspeuded for 18 months from the Mae of the but strata at Bow-street, for stealing books from the shops of Mr. Carter and Mr. Lacy, booksellers in the Strand. Mr. Humphries, who appeared for the prisoners, made a strong appeal to the magistrate to deal with the case in • summary manner. The young ladies, he said, were the daughters of a gentleman of affluence and high position in society, and had been educated in India ; and be could only account for the unfortunate position in which his clients had placed them selves by imagining that they were suffering from a sort of monomania, as their position placed them high above want, and their means of purchasing all they required were ample. Mr. Henry refused to accede to the proposition of the learned gentleman, saying his duty compelled him to send themboth for trial, as the offence was not confined to one act, but, on the contrary, appeared to have been moat art fully isintrived. The prisoners, it appeared from the evidence, entered several booksellers' shops on the pretence of purchasing books for school prizes. and whilst they were being shown the articles they contrived to secrete several of them iu a black leather bug, which they carried under neath their shawls ; and, in order to get out of the shop without making a purchase, they directed the books they selectedto be sent to • fictitious address. The counsel engaged for the two prisoners this morning mentioned their case to the learned judge. Mr. Bodkin said a great deal of unnecessary embellish ment had been given to the case ; about the position the girls previously occupied iu society, and the affluent circum stances of the father, who it was said was a gentleman much higher in position than any person present in the police court when the girls were committed for trial. He wished to know whether the father was now present? The learned counsel said he was not. With respect to the statements in the newspapers he was not accountable for that. Mr. Bodkin thought when he postponed paving sentence yesterday some explanation would have been given that morning. With respect to their position in society he should not let that have the slightest influence with him, as he should deal with the case precisely in the same way as if it had been that of the lowest person who swept the streets. With respect to the reports in the newspapers, Mr. Hum phylas must have made some observations of the nature he had referred to. As the father was not in attendance, he should like to know if he would come supposing he again deferred pausing sentence until to-morrow. The learned counsel said he did not think it was at all likely be would attend. His appearance would only be attended with great pain, and would lead to still greater publicity. Mr. Bodkin thought something ought to be known about the prisoners for their own oaks. He would either pass sentence now or defer it till he was put in possession of the circumstances connected with the prisoners. The learned counsel said he would rather the caw was dim used of Dow ; the required information should be sent to the bench. Mr. Bodkin would at once do so ; and if, after sentence was pawed, from what was communicated to him, he should feel inclined to alter the punishment, he would make the necessary application to the proper quarter. The two young girls were then pot in front of the dock. Mr. Bodkin, addressing them, said they had both pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with purloining books, and both had declined to give the slightest in formation that might enable the court to make inquiries about them. It was not the case of pemons destitute of the means of subsistence, but they were placed in • position much above that. They appeared to have been well educated, and to have been taught the dif ference between good and evil, so position rather aggravated the offence than otherwise. If he was satisfied by the in formation that was to be forwarded to him that both of them were to be sent out of England or to the colonies, which he thought was the best thing that could be done to enable them to retrieve their character, or that secure steps would be taken to protect the public against • repetition of the offence, he would communicate with the government with a view ti obtaining a remission or alteration of the punishment be felt it his duty now to inflict. The sentence of the court was that they both be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the space of aims months. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Henry Sharpe, an Ivory polisher, was indicted for steal ing two pieces of Ivory, the property of Thomas Davies, ivory turner, of 6, Watts-buildings, liingsland-road, his master. Kemp prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Bend defended. • • - • • • This was an ordinary came, but • confession, which was made by the prisoner under • promise of his not being given in charge if he would tell what be had done with the ivory, nut being admissible as evidence, he was found Nut PLATE John Mayfield and James uellen, were indicted for steal ing 10 silver spoons and other articles, the property of Joseph Ridge, in his dwelling-house. Mansfield pleaded guilty. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Cooper de fended Gellen. On the morning of the Ath of October, the prisoners were met by Doble, 147 D, in Marylebone-lane. carrying a basket, which on seeing him they threw down. Mayfield was taken ; Oellen escaped. The basket, which ooutained plate, had been stolen from 39, Dorset-square on the same morning. Gillen was taken some time afterw ards by Serjeaut Cole, Ci C, at the Three Tuns, Moor-street, when he most poiutively protested that he was innocent, and wee not with Mayfield at the time, u was alleged. The officer, however, new him well, and ea positively stated that he was the person whom he saw with Mayfield. They were known as companions. The jury found them both Guilty, and Sergeants Cole and Potter proved former convictions against them. The latter proved about ten against Mayfield, all for plate robberies and attempts. His first conviction was in 1855, when be had 12 months, and since then he had been seetemed to various smaller terms of imprisonment on summary work. Lion. Gallen wee convicted of a plate robbery to January last. The learned Judge said there was only one course to be taken with such characters, and that was to remove them for a long period from society. Upon Mayfield the sen tence was six years' penal servitude, and upon Gellen three years. Mr. Poland mid it had been communicated to his by the police officers that in ►bout 12 months 1,000(. worth of plate hati been stolen from residences on the I) and 0 divisions, and in consequence groat vigilance bad been exerted, and that led to the detectiou of the prisoners, who there was no doubt were commented with a regular gang of area thieves. The learned Judge said they would be thacounected from them for some time now. The applicant stated that he bad received the double sovereign in the way of trule. A stranger came to his shop and bought a pair of boots, tendering the double sovereign iu payment. He war struck with the unusual circumstance of such a coin being in circulation, and received the answer, "Oh, we have bad it a long time, and were very unwilling to part with it, but poverty compels us to do so." This answer satisfied him, and he received the coin, giving the full change. Afterwards he heard that such a coin had been stolen, and he at once communicated with the police, and give it up to Sergeant Robinson. Sergeant Robinson said he was instructed to inquire into the case upon Mr. Judkin's complaint that a double sove reign had been stolen, it was suspected by some workmen engaged in his house. Mr. Ellis saw all the workmen, but was not able to identify either as being the man from whom he bad received the coin. As there was no evidence to show that the coin was the same which Mr. Judkin had lost, be (Robinson) was about to return it to Mr. Ellis, when the latter observed that as Mr. Judkin appeared de sirous to have the coin he would willingly give it up on re ceiving ill nominal value-2/., being what be had given for it, and some reasonable compensation for his loss of time in the matter. He (Robinson) proposed these terms to Mr. Judkin, who assented, and he (Robinson) then gave him the double sovereign. He now, however, refused to pay the money or return the coin. Mr. Henry said the officer had acted indiscreetly in giving the coin to Mr. Judkin. Robinson—l am aware of that, your worship. and I should not have given it to him, but I trusted to his word as • gentleman, and especially as a clergyman. I hesitated to do it, sod he said, "Do you doubt my word!" I did not doubt his word, so I gave him the coin. I fully relied upon his paying Mr. Ellin Mr. Henry directed the officer to go with Mr. Ellis to Mr. Judkin, and tell him that if he did not give up the coin a summons would issue. Subsequently, Mr. Judkin attended to explain the matter to the magistrate. He began by complaining of the con duct of Robinson, whom he accused of telling lies through out the transaction. Robinson had come to his house at one o'clock in the morning to demand the return of the coin, and, after disturbing the whole establishment at that unseasonable hour, stated that be was sent down by his superior officer. On inquiring of Superintendent O'Brien be (Mr. Judkin) ascertained that this was Lot true. Ro binson had also appealed to him to give up the coin, as he (Robinson) had infringed the rules in letting him have it, and might perhaps be dismissed from his employment, and deprived of the means of supporting his wife and children. Mr. Hoary bad nothing to do with that matter at pre sent. If Mr. Judkin had any complaint against the officer, he must make it to the police authorities. Mr. Judkin—But listen to me, sir. He told me that it was shown to a dealer in curiosities, who said it was worth 8/. I believe that statement was made to induce me to give money for it. Mr. Henry said the officer had acted indiscreetly in giving the coin to Mr. Judkin, who had no right to retain it unless he could identify it as his property. Mr. Judkin —Robinson told me he had traced it to Mr. Ellis. Mr. Henry—lt is of no consequence what be told you. It is quite clear that the coin which Mr. Ellis !gave to the °Mom was delivered by him to you, and unless you can prove that it is your property, you are bound to give it up to Mr. Ellis. Mr. Judkiu—l could swear that I am certain the coin is mine. Mr. Henry—lf you will undertake to swear that it is, I will order it to be left in your possession. Mr. Judkin would not swear that, but it was • very im probable story that some person bad had it for many yeses, and was compelled to part with it from necessity. Mr. Henry thought that quite possible. Robinson—There was one offered to a pawnbroker the very day of the loss. Mr. Judlda—ltolinsou told me that was the same. Robinson—l said nothing of the sort. Mr. Judkin—Oh! are you Robinson? I did not know you in your uniform, Whv, I out show that you have told me at least laalf.a-domon lies ; your conduct Is die. graceful. The magistrate, addressing Mr. Judkin, said—lf the officer had done what he was bound to do, returned the coin to Mr. Ellin, then your remedy would be to summon him for detaining the coin, which you allege to be your stolen double sovereign ; but the onus of proof would rest on you. Now, if you decline to give it up I will issues summons against you. and unless you can prove that it is the one you lOSI I shall order you to give it up. Mr. Judkin said he was willing to place the coin in the hands of Superintendent O'Brien until the question was settled. Mr. Henry had no objection to that. If Mr. Judkin wished the question to be tried by a summons the super intendent might hold the property in the meantime. After much further discussion, Mr. Judkin said he did not want to be summoned. He wished the coin to remain in the hands of the superintendent till some time bad elapsed. If after that no discovery was made, and the magistrate remained of the saws opinion as at present, be might order it to be given up to Mr. Ellis. This was agreed to on all hands. WESTMINSTER. Mr. Arnold gave his decision upon an adjourned cue under the Hackney Carriage Act. He mid the question he was called upon to determine was whether when two adulta and a child under ten years of age were eneaveyed in a cab the driver was entitled to charge for loggap. He (Mr. Arnold) had given the matter his fullest comidecation. and had bad much difficulty in coming to his present conclusion, with which he was by no means satisfied. The present summons was taken out by a cab-driver against • gentleman far 10d. for the carriage of five parings, and it bad been urged by the driver that Mr. Daynuin magistrate at Wandsworth , had recently delided that where the third person carried was an infant in arms the tabu= was entitled to charge for the luggage. He (Mr. Arnold) bad since communicated with Mr. Delman on the subject, and found that that gentleman had now changed his opinion, and upon giving the cue mature consideration thought he was wrong in the decision quoted, which had been given without sufficient consideration. He (Mr. Arnold) had also consulted his eolleague, Mr. Paynter, who was strongly of opinion that the driver was entitled to charge. There was no distinction in the act of parliament between an infant In arms and a child who occupied a seat. By the 16th and 17th Viet., cap. 12, sec. 14. It was enacted. "That two children under ten years of age shall he considered sa one adult person for the purposes of this clause," and he there fore thought that that definition of a person for the pur poses of fare was limited to that clause. Turning to UN schedule of the previous act it stated " That where more than two persons shall be carried inside any hackney car riage with more luggage than ma be carried inside the carriage, a further sum of twopence for every package carried outside is to be paid by she hirer. The whole question, therefore, he repeated, turned upon whether a child was • person. and the clause regulating the fare for the conveyance of passengers used the word "adult," while the schedule relating to the charge for luggage omitted it, having the word "person" to be treated with its general significancy, and therefore he thought it must mean a person, no matter of what age. By another section of the act cab drivers were liable to • penalty for refusing to take • fare, and if a person under 10 years of age—a hoe of 9—wanted to be driven anywhere, and called • cab, be driver would incur a penalty, and there fore it must be fairly argued he would be a " person," and would be liable to the usual fare for his conveyance. The law did not draw any distinction between the child of nine months and nine years, dal he (Mr. Arnold) therefore thought that an infant came within the definition of • penou. Au order was then made upon the defendant for 10a. and coats, which his footman paid. THE SUSPECTED MURDER AND SUICIDE NEAR PRESTON. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Myres, coroner, held an inquiry at the Plough Inn, Ashton, touching the deaths of Ann Wright and Charles Wright, her illegitimate sou, the particulars of whose deaths have already appeared in our columns. The finding of the bodies in a pit near the footpath leading from Ashton to Preston Marsh having been proved, other witnesses stated that the woman had tried in vain to affiliate her illegitimate child, and had been much depressed in spirit.. Mn. Jones, of Blackpool, said the deceased formerly lived with her as her servant. She had a child about twelve months ago. The infant was the one taken out of the pit. She was much put out of the way in consequence of her having failed to father the child. In July last she became very melancholy, and laid on two or three occasions that she would drown herself and the child. She afterwards told witness not to mind what she had said, as she would be sorry to injure the child. She was afraid, however, that she would go out of her mind. She left witness's service in September last. Mary Woods, of Graveston, deposed to seeing • person like the deceased sitting at the side of the pit in question a fortnight ago. The woman had a child with her. She ap peared to be in a very low suite, and was taking its hat off and pinning a string to it. Saw the woman shortly before walking towards the pit. No ODO was near her at the pit side. Charlotte, wife of Stephen Preston, of Preston, deposed theta fortnight that day the deceased and her child were at witness's house. She was without a situation, and had been so for a month, ever since she left Mrs. Smith's. A fortnight ago deceased also called on witness,and wanted her to take charge of her child. Witness told her she could not do so as her husband sou unwilling. On the following morn ing the deceased was singing in witness's house. She afterwards said next time witness heard of her it would be something strange. Witness recommended her to put the child in the workhouse. The deceased came direct to wit ness's house from Blackpool, and had not been to her parents' house at Wurtin since last May. Other evidence having been adduced, the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned an open verdict that both the de ceased were found drowned. IX IC Ii.oPE.

The crop of this year (rays tho Northern Whig) has been extensively infected by the old disease, but now that more accurate data exist for the formation of a correct estimate, it does not appear that the lose will, in any degree, reach the amount which the heralds of famine would have had the public to believe. Immense quantities of the gran produce are totally unfit fur human food ; a large propor• tion of the bakers will, however, be useful in Le ttls-feeding ; and it is to be hoped that the portion until for any purpose will not exceed a moiety of the entire produce of the potato lands. Prices are very high for the season. It is, there fore, evident that the consumer will more then share the loss with the grower. In olden times, and long before the destructive blight had seised on the national esculent, One shilling per hundredweight was often the market rate for excellent potatoes. Occasionally higher prices ruled, but more frequently still lower 011•14 lc 183.1, for instance, choice varieties, which hail been carted seven or eight miles from the country, were sold in our market at the nominal tote of eightpence the hundredweight, or one penny for each stone of fourteen pounds. The current rotes this day will average four shinnies the buodred, or about six times the price paid eight and twenty years ago. A great alarm was raised some weeks since, and the cry of impending famine re-echoed from the west. That much suffering will be endured by the small farmers and cottiers in that portion of Ireland, there is no reason to doubt ; but we trust that the legiti mate sources of relief will be fully adequate to meet the emergency. The landed proprietors—and especially thou living at a distance from the scene of the dimister—have a duty to perform iu this matter which we trust they will not fail in discharging.

In the month of March last ten bales of silk, valued at 2,0001., were stolen from • barge on the river on its way from the West India Dock to the St. Katherine Dock, or in the last-named dock, after the arrival of the silk at that place. The stolen silk was concealed for • few hours in the house of • man named Barker, • shoemaker, of Hope-street, Bethnal-green, and removed by rail to Derby, where it was found by the police of that town in the mill of a silk throwster named Newton. After several examinations at the Thames Police Court three men, named Barker, Debock, and Crane, wereemismitted for trial for stealing the silk, and John Newton, of Derby, was committed at the same time for feloniously receiving it , knowing it to be stolen. The trial at the OM Bailey lasted two days, and terminated in the conviction of Debook, and the acquittal of the other prisoners. The names of two persoas named Agg and Hunter, both licensed victualler', the one keeping the Clown public-house in the St. John's-street-road, opposite Sadler. Wells Theatre, and the other the Red Deer in the Cambridge-heath-road, Bethnal-green, were frequently men tioned during the investigations which took place. Both ab sconded, and rewards were offered for their apprehension. Agg's name was appended to the receipt for money paid by Newton for the silk, and Hunter wee stated to have been in company with Agg in Derby. At the time Newton rJfor the silk, Debock exhibited three 1001. k of England notes to en innkeeper named Rowbothani, and asked if they were genuine, at the same time he pre tended to be • Frenchman who could only speak English imperfectly. Debock acted io clumsily, and gave such a curious account of the manner in which he became pommeled of the notes, that Mr. Itowbotham gave information to the Derby police. Debock and his brother-in-law, Barker, who was in his company at the time, were immediately arrested, • communication was made to the London polke, the silk in Newton's mill was seized, Newton was taken intocustody, and a man named Crane, in the employ of Dmkeford and Co., silk morass in the City, was also appre hended. Cruse engaged the van which conveyed the stolen silk from Barker's house to the railway station the night before it was conveyed to Derby. After the trial at the Central Criminal Court, the three NM. notes foiled upon Debock were ordered to be returned to Newton. who had paid them away to Agg. The licensee of the Clown and the Red Deer were transferred to other persons after the flight of Agg sad Hester, and no tidings wen heard of either until yesterday afternooe, when Hunter surrendered himself at the Thames Police Court, Stepney, which in • few minutes became crowded. ""if;7li;mpiWy;,llll3..of the firm of Humphreys, Son, sod Morgan, solicitors, conducted the pruecutioo for the St. Katheriue Dock Company ; Mr. Leech, solicitor, of Derby, defended Hunter. Mr. Humphreys, jun., stated at some length the facts of thin cue. and several witnesses were then called to prove the unshipmeut of 411 bales of raw silk from the Solent, their delivery into the barge Dixville, and to the deficiency of 10 bales on the arrival of the Domino in the St. Kathe- rine Dock . Mr. William Morris, of No. 45, Hall-street. City-road, said he was formerly landlord of the Crown and Cushion public-house, in London-walL Mr. Newton, of Derby, was in the practice of coming to that house when he came to London on business, and the prisoner Hunter and Agg had frequently visited him previous to the 18th of March. He knew a person named Crane, is the employ of Drakeford and Co., the silk mercers. Crane was an occasional visitor at the Crown and Cushion. -- JosephlarTif7r, - sl;;;;Mtker, of Hopestreet, Bethnal green, said that 10 bales of silk were deposited in hie prw muss oa the 15th al March last, taken away three days afterwards, and sent by train to Derby. He accompruded his brother•in-law Debock to Derby on the night of the 18th of March. He did not see the prisoner Hunter in Derby. He could not recognise him. He did not see him at all on that journey. He and his brother.in.law met two gentlemen in Derby. He could not swear that Hunter was one of them. Debock mentioned the name■ of the two gentlemen after he parted with them, and said one of them was Heater. - . . . ._ . . . . 11;:reeci; objected, and aid that what Debock bad Meted was not evidence. Mr. Woolrych— You are right. In cross.examination by Mr. leech the witness said—Mr. Newton was not with me in the railway carriage from Lon don to Derby, as sworn to by some of the witnesses on the trial. He did not see Newton at Rowbothant's public. house, in Derby. He did not know Mr. Hunter at all. Mr. J. P. Mumford, superintendent of the St. Katherine ' dock police, said—l have had a conversation with the pri soner this day in the elerk's-otfice here. He said, " I have had nothing to do with this transaction. I can challenge the world. and have told Mr. Leech to say so. No one can say anythin g against my character." The prisoner also said, "I was a fool to go down to Derby ; Barker saw me there, and came up and shook hands with me, and said I knew his father." Since the robbery was committed and the stolen silk discovered, I have sought everywhere for Hunter. A reward has been offered for his apprehension, and large posting-bills have been issued. Mr. Humphreys, jun., asked fora remand, as be had further evidence to produce against the prisoner at a future time. Mr. Leech had no objection to a remand, and his client, Mr. Hurter, courted the fullest inquiry. He submitted the prisoner ought to be hailed. Mr. Woolrych—l will take bail for the prisoner to appear on Wedni•sday next, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 25(Y. each. I must have good hail. A number of persons tendered themselves as bail. Two were accepted, and the prisoner was liberated. TR./L/710 RETURNS. Melia Pr- Mar- Total, Total, RAILWAY/ opon aansars ohmage IMI IBIIO Week ending Sept.

Our quotations show very little change ; almost the only alteration being a slight advance on the best descrip. Lions of heavy English sole leather, which has been in dried,. quate supply. The general tone of the market is, however, tolerably firm, and the caution that dealers and coneunien have manifested, probably in expectation of • diminialud consumption in the manufacturing districts, will tend to insure a steady prospective demand. The advanced values( leather in America, also, will, by suspending the shipments to this country, aid the inquiry for Louie-manufactured ern. ties.
