The refined market was rather heavy last week, and several holders were inclined to accept prices a shade lower ; no general depression could however be stated; the purchases were chiefly for the home trade ; the shippers have not yet came to market to any extent ; there was however still a very iudifFes rent supply of goods, and geoerally no decline flea for the present anticipated.

GIMIT ALL.—..Yaltirday ereli/t aldin, A watchinaz of St.'Dunstan's, Fleet-street, and Mary Anderson and Sarah l'a.sdor, two common prostitutes, were brought up for re-examination before Mr. Alderman WOOD, charged upon suspicion of being concerned in i most atrocious highway robbery. tCrespectable young man, named Bassel, was in Illip-yard, Temple Rar, g an early hour on Friday /tenting last, somewhat intoxicated, and while stand ing there he was attacked by three or four women of the town, and two men, by whom he was severely beaten. Among the women were the two female prisoners, who were most active in the attack ; and Sarah Taylor struck him with such violence with some instrument, as to cause the blood to gush from his eyes and mouth in torrents. He pursued the woman Taylor into fleet-street, and here he was again attacked by her and her companions, and beaten almost senseless. By a desperate effort he succeeded in extricating himself from their grasp, and the prisoner Aldin earning up, he desired him to take charge of the waman Taylor. Instead, how ever, of doing this, he seized hold of the prosecutor, and in conjunction with the gang, dragged him up Bell-yard, and while the prostitutes and the two men were busied in rifling his pockets, Aldin struck him several severe blows with a bludgeon in the face And on the breast. At this period, the prosecutor *as robbigi of a five-pound and a one-pound sate, With a quantity of silver. The work of plunder s ving been completed, the prisoner Taylor nulled, Aldin, and gave charge of Mr. Bassel for as saulting her. Aldin - immediately seized him, and with the assistance of the gang, by whom he had been robbed, dragged him along the street to St. Dunstan's watch-hcuse, where the constable of the night took the charge front Mrs. Taylor, and the prosecutor still bleeding in a dreadful manner, and completely exhaUsted from the beating he had re ceived, was locked up for the night. He was on the following day brought before Mr. Alderman Wood, who, upon hearing his tale, ordered him to be taken from the bar, and the three prisoners to take his place. The prosecutor related the circum stances in a clear and distinct manner, and was most positive in his recollection of the persons of all the prisoners.—His statement was further corroborated by Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway, two respectable persons, who were going to Covent Garden market on the morning in question, and were induced to follow the prosecutor and the gang, by . seeing the blood upon the pavement ; they spokoparticularly to the conduct of the two female prisoners, and that of Aldin.—The latter ptisoner, on the present occasion, brought for ward two persons to speak in his behalf; but their testimony tended rather to his crimination than other wise.—Nlr. Bassel, the prosecutor, attended, and re peated his former statement, without a single varia• Lion. He was still in a very faint state, and wore a shade over his eyes. Mr. Alderman Wow), after hearing the whole of the evidence recapitulated by the different witness% saidhe was clearly of opinion, that the three priso ners should be committed for the felony. Mr. PAYII2 observed, qi,at the main question was, whether tie prisooer Aldin .had a felonious intent * the.part whichlie ;oak la the transaction? Mr. Alderman Woofs thought there could be no doubt upon that point. In order, however to be more certain, he would consult the City S olicitor. In the mean time be directed the depositiqns to be made out lsy to-morrow, when he should feel it his duty to commit them for trial. They were accor dingly remanded. The office was crowded to excess during the examination. Bow.reasa7.—Jeremiah Kirk was committed for trial on proof of having defrauded the porter of Mr. Coutts, the banker, of several shillings by a fictitious tale of distress. His fabricated story was, that his ' wife was lying dead in a hospital, and that he wanted money to bury the corpse. Quatter-!sauatajt.—Saturday morning, about seven o'clock, a tall man, dressed in a suit of dark-brown clothe's, entered the shop of Mr. Rush, butcher, Re gent-street, Vincent.square, Horseferry-road, and told the youth who was attending the shop that his master, Mr. Rush (who set off a little before six to purchase meat at Newgate-market), had requested him to call at his shop and desire Mrs. Rush to send him (the shop-boy) with the tray to Newgate-market, to help to carry home the meat he had bought. The man left the shop, and the shop-boy called to his mistress and informed her that his master had sent for him ; she said that he might set off, for she should be down immediately ; when she came down stairs in a few minutes after, she found that some one had entered the parlour and carried off a dozen ivory handled knives and forks, some silver spoons, a tea caddie, and other articles. The youth returned from market, as he had learned from his master that he had not sent for him, and he found that a purse con taining 61. belonging to himself, had been stolen out of the cupboard. There is very little doubt that the robbery was committed by the man above described, who invented the story to get the youth out of the way. Mr. Rush did not credit the boy's statement 'ivbeis he returned 'home, and yesterday he gave him in charge of a Constable, who brought him to this Office. He told his story in a very simple manner ; there was no evidence in contradiction of his state ment, and he was discharged. WORSII I r-ITIt EST.—CRUELTY OP PARENTS.—Da- NW Thomas, and Sarah his wife, were brought up ' and examined on a charge of cruelty and ill treat ment to Francis Otterway, a child ten years old. It appeared on examination that the unfortunate girl was the daughter of the female prisoner by a former husband, and since her second marriage she, the ma ther, resides with her present husband, in Prince's greet, Bethnal-green. The neighbours had been continually annoyed by the piercing screams of the Some of them remonstrated with the mother but without avail. The screams were still heard ra ther more piercing than ever, till Saturday last, when the cry became more penetrating and heart rending than usual, and the neighbours Rocked before' the door, when it was discovered that the mother was holding her for the father, who, with all his might, was flogging with a cane till her body was covered with weals and bruises. The neighbours gave information to the Parish officers, and a warrant was obtained against the mother and father-in-law, and they were now brought forward and examined at gala lenslN amen the several witnasses. The pti- soners, who were Ntetiodi- • • fence—they would not use any s brutal a manner as represented, child.—The worthy Magistrate feared they were wolves in shoe evidently more than proper co quently a case ,fit to be brought must find bail.—The prisoners default of bail.
