O,LO BAILEY SESSIONS, SEPTEMEM 30. At the close of the business in this Court on Satur day, it adjourned over till to-day, yesterday being Miehaehnis, and therefore a dies au. John GrOths, aged 14, was this day indicted for stealing 12s. from the person of Bridget blarney, on the 2d of August last. Bridget Marney described the circumstances under which she lost the money on the day in question. Her occupation was to sell fruit in the streets; and she had 14.. loose about her, when she felt something in her pocket whilst standing in Covent-garden market buying fruit. She did nut turn round immediately, but a boy asking her whether she had any money in her pocket ? she felt and found it was all gone. The prisoner was pointed out to her, and charged with tie theft. On being searched he bad three half crowns, some shillings, and Ss.6d. in his mouth. She could net swear to any particular piece of money, but she had three half.crowns among the 14s. On her cross-examination she said she had pawned her hus. band's clothes to get the .1 Is. She was obliged to pawn something every Monday, as her family was large, and her husband's wages small. A boy, who was standing near the prosecutrix whilst she was engaged in buying currants, saw three boys close to her, and soon after a hand drawn out of her pocket. He could not say whose hand it was, but he saw the prisoner taken, and three half-dnwns, four shillings, and a sixpence were found upon him. A Bow-street officer, who was in the ma.ket, heard the cry of " Stop." Saw Mrs. Marney overtaking the prisoner. He denied having any money. He found, however, Bs. (hi. in his pocket, and 3s. 6d. in his mouth Prosecutrix said she had lost 14s: Saw no other boys running away. Prosecutrix also said she had put the money in a fair bus, but that it had gi unscrewed. Prisoner observed to him, that he had put the money in his mouth because be knew that the *Seer intended to rob him and swear his life away. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that the money was his own, and that he had no friends to give him a character.—Verdict—Guilty. The Common ST.RJEANT intimated to the prisoner, who was a lad of rather interesting appearance, but had been tried for a similar offence about a year be fore, that he would certainly be transported for life. Frederic' Currie', aged 21, was indicted for break ing and entering the dwelling.house of John D'Arcy Preston. at Merton College, Oxford, and stealing a desk, a Bank-note value 420, and other Bank of England notes. The Rev. John D'Arey Preston stated, that in FebruAry last he had apartments in Merton College, Oxford ; he knew Mr. Gambier, likewise a resident. Mr. Gambier on the 13th paid him £4B; lie is sure that one of the notes was a 420 note; the rest small notes At half.p.ist fire on the 14th he left his apart- Mimi to gr , to dinner ; he left his desk in his apart ment ; the notes were in it ; the desk was double locked ; c innot say whether he locked his door ; he returi.ed about eight o'clock the same evening, and found hi, Jesk had been taken away. In consequence of Isis I ss he applied to Mr. Gambier to get the num ber of the notes. Next morning he saw his desk in a public-house on the London-road; it was broken open apparently with• a clued ; he sent information of the number of the notes to the Bank of England ; be lost entirely 475. T. Capper, a bricklayer, at Oxford, was employed on some work at Merton College, on the 14th of Feb ruary, clearing a drain. He worked till six o'clock, or later, to inclose the drain. About five o'clock he saw the prisoner come out of Merton College, with a desk under his arm. The prisoner was a cabinet-maker. He came down the stair case leading from Mr. Pres ton's apartments; the prisoner pmt the desk nn his shoulder, and passed the, quadrangle with speed. After that in a short time, be saw the prisoner stand by the College-lodge, bat bad no desk with him. Witness asked him if be was in the College ? He said No; witness then asked him if be was at work in the College ? The prisoner said be wanted to fetch some goods from a Gentleman's rooms, but did not want the Gentleman to see him. He asked him if he was moving goods for any Gentleman in the College? He said No. Witness asked him what he was doing with the desk ? The prisoner said, ‘• What desk d 4 you mean ? I have seen no desk. Do you Mean to get me transported The prisoner then went away up the other stair-case of Merton College; and witness called for the under porter, but he did not answer. The prisoner then abused him for call. ing any one ; and witness said to him, If that is l'am temper keep it ;" and went away. Soon alter be saw the prisoner again by the ball steps, with a desk ; and witness asked if he was going to repair it 1 When witness spoke to him he seemed much agitated, and nearly dropped (he desk un the ground! but he recovered it again on his shoulders; and put it be twin two buttrejses, neat the chapel. He then went towards the gateway, three or tour times; he re-' turned to the desk, and began to pull it about. Wit one again asked him what he was doing with it ? The prisoner said, 's 13—n the man e why does he twit come r' Witness then went to work behind a but. Vest, sad the prisoner left the desk, but returned in Ewe minutes, and took it out of the gateway. Wit, gigs never heard of Mr. Preston being robbed untik be saw the prisoner's examination is the neersospers, about three weeks or a month ago, Cioss.ezeinined.—He beard of a desk being fonuA near the turnpike b.iuw, but be supposed that it was taken from Corpus Christi College. as be bad hue* one bad been stolen from there. He had no sus** of the prisoner, as be was ,a cabinetmaker. eltbough. he watched him for an hour, and thought at first Abe was about no good. The note was traced into the possession of the pri. . saner by a clerk at the Paddiaron Cape], to whom he bad paid it. for the conveyance of goods by that canal; and it was eventually stopped at the Book. The COMMON Samson?, in summing up, the oi. deuce, considered the testimony of , Capper as too vague to justify the Jury in.gonvicting the prisoner. _Verdict—Not Diana Whakr, aged 27, and Afar, Smith, aged $6, were, indicted for stealing plra pairpt worsted stockr. value,3s. the goods. of W. Bradley. The de.; fence i ff lacif both the prisoners made was, that they haa.been intoxicated. Verdictr—Both Guilty., kirhuni, Baehr, aged 117, was indicted for stealing Shia doling , Table £S, die luVerf Of .William Phi!pot. The proselyte: stated. that the doubts were le his poses:slue saw tee 3d of Jul', on whidr day he missed them. He caused inquiries to be made, and the next day they were found in the possession of the prisoner. The prisoner could not account sa tisfactorily for the circumstance. and the Jury without any hesitation found him—Guilty. Frrierici Waring, aged 17, was indicted for having ' embezzled £44 10s. 6d. the property of Thomas Prot*, his employer. Thomas Prout, a perfumer in the Strand. stated, that he had the prisoner employed in carrying parcels from his shop, and in receiving money in the shop ; he entrusted the; prisoner with a tan of exchange (or £44 10s. 64. to receive the amount, and bring it to him. Prisoner never either returned it, or gave the amount, or any part of it. Here the prosecutor produced the bill, it was signed by the prisoner as received. Prisoner lived with wit ness about five weeks before this. John Lawson, a clerk at Messrs. Sykes's, stated, that he had paid the amount of the bill to the person who wrote the receipt on the back of it, but he could not say whether the prisoner was that person. J. Jackson, a police officer, stated, that on the 3d of July last, the prisoner gave himself up to him, say. ing that he was much troubled in mind, and that he would wish justice to have its course. The primet made no defence. He was decently dressed in a blue coat and grey trowsers, and wore a black silk handkerchief round his neck. He appeared deeply sensible of the crime which he committed ; tears frequently fell from hint. Two witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The Reconnan summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a few moments consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. GUILDHALL Girds", the baelteepeosehntio ttiuged with driving his comb over the body•la woman In Fleet-market, was brought up for farther examinatton, when. certificate hating been produced front the surgeon of Bartholomew's Hosp Eal, de- dating the woman to he est of danger, the prisoner was ad. mined to bail. C. Clicksion was charged with pasting k forged Banknote at a shop In Barbican. On being detected, the prisoner htuttllPP+ ll to destroy the note. He was ramaaded• Monday night arson villains broke open the gra nary of Mr Fausarr, s farmer, residing near the Blackbird, at Lowlayton, and robbed it of twelve sacks of wheat ; they also broke open his stables, and harnessed the horses, which they put to a cart and loaded it with the sacks, and drove into Eppiog Forest, where they emptied the sacks, and put the a Ilea into others brought there for the purpose, and carried it away in another cart, as Mr. Fausturr's cart, horses, and sacks were found in the Forest next morning. Nu trace has yet been discovered of the Exclusive of the straw which was maliciously de stroyed on Sunday se'nnight, at Bird Hill., the pro-, perry of Anima Onsisar, Esq. sear Litherick, a considerable portion of timber, and all ttit farming utensils on the ground were consigned to the times. The loss sustained by G. W. Biwa, Esq. by a mali cious burning on the same night, at his estate .Witer paik, exceeded considerably what was first nported, as the quantity of hay consumed was thevproduce of sixteen Acres. We have been informed that the person murdered in the Bunny of Tyrerach, in the count, of Sligo, as stated in the STAR of Friday, was a pedlar and a pensioner—he was on bis way from C.astlebar to Sligo, and. as is supposed, took up his lodging for the night in the house of Anne Kilreaglel, where he met (according to the verdict of the Coroner and Jury) with his untimely end. Thersday Edward _Mike., a pi 4 vate in the 66th re giment. was apprehended on a charge of stealing a portmanteau from the Commanding Officer, sad' committed to Winchester gaol. MGnday se'nnight two boys, the sons of Mr. James Smyle, of Warringstrect. near Malone, went to spend the day at a friend's, while hay was drawing home. and on the return of one of the cars, after discharging its load, the youngest. Joseph. a fine boy of about nine years of age, gcit upon the back of the horse along with the boy who drove him. but this horse being unaccustomed to such an incumbrance, became restive and made off, when boils the boys were pitched upon the ground. The driver was severely hurt and stupified by the fall. but the poor infant, Master Smyle. was killed upon the spot. Monday, as the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Wseusoa, of Fawley. was out bunting, on endeavouring to leap a five-bar gate, his horse threw him, by which accident be dislocated his shoulder. DREADIOL Err= or JIALOVIST.-... On Tuesday se'nnight, about nine o'clock in the evening, as Mrs. Jane Prevost, of Richmond, was taking leave of a young man, known by the name of Geer:, Mills, who was paying his addresses to her, and who had just supped with her at her house, he suddenly drew a dirk, , which he had previously taken out of a tuck stick, and with violence stabbed her under tbe left breast, at the same time exclaiming, with a laugh— ,. I have done for you." The blade remained in the sound till she pulled it out herself, when she imme diately faiited from loss of blood. Her -servant, seeing what was done, ran into the street, crying ~ murder s" and in a. moment the house was filled with her neighbours, vski secured Mills, and deli vered him into the custody of a constable. At first, from the great effusion of blond. the life of Mrs. Prevost was thought to be in imminent douger, but ,stroog hopes are nos entertained of her recovery, as it is ascertained that' the instrument, which had been ; s i barpened for the purpose, fortunately took an oblique itenktio turned,. perhaps, by Xha bones of her strys, eMd conaequestly did not enter so deeply as the mask of.blood swigs blade at first induced 01l to suppose. Ott Friday aluttneoa,Mrs- Prevent was able to give, bet deposition,- whoa the Rev. Dr. SAISPeoN, of Pe-I cash's, attended for that purpose ; and bav?bg taken her information, .together with those of some other persons, and having examined. Mills, who said that his intention was. not. to give Mts. Prevost • mortal wound, but only mita one as might disable her from keeping the appointment which she had made with a Geptlesuan of Chelmsford, Dr. SAMPsON fully coo *god Mills to take his trial at the . , neat. AsSiaes.for The county of -Surrey. It seems that jealousy-was the cause of this dreadful act, Mills bating the day pre. ceding intercepted a letter addressed by Mre.,Prevost to a person at Chelmsford. Mills is only seventeen or eighteen years old, Mrs. Prevost at trait terenty five. She basenteved into recognisance to prosecute. LONDON-MARKETS, SIMMER 90 • Corrov.-The purchases by private contract con sist of 150 Demerara, 2s. a Is. Id.; 30 Pernambuco, 2s. 3d. and 250 Bengal. sold in the warehouse Ind. a 14d. the latter being at a depression of id. to Id. per lb. on the prices of the pieceding week. Ltvearoo Seer. 27.-The trade having stocked themselves pretty heavily by their late purchases of Cotton, the demand this week has been very limited; ch. holders, hoWever, in general, are steady, and we cannot note any decline in prices, except about Id. per lb. in Boweds and Orleans. The sales are-280 Bowed: at 190. to 21d. for inferior to lair, 2144. to Yid. for good fair to prime; foo.Orleans, at 23d. a 2s. for good fair to good, and a few prime at 2s.

Sven.-The Sugar market remained very heavy during last week; the principal holders withdrew their Muscovades from present sale, in the anticipa tion that the demand and the prices will revive in a week or two. The few sales that were effected in Sugars in first hands were generally Is. per cwt. lower. We do not learn that any Sugars in second hands have been sold to.day ; the market may in con sequence be stated tray I.eavy at the decline of Is. The Sugar in speculators' hands may be stated at a greater depression, say 2s. a 3s. The refined market declined 2s. per cwt. last week, and the refiners evinced great eagerness to effect sales at the currency of the market, yet they would sub mit to no great depression, as the raw Sugars were kept up at high prices, and ti,ey also calculated no the extensive orders that are in town for the winter supply of the Continent ; and the orders generally are stated to be limited to prices a few s.hillings only be-, low the currency of the market. Molasses declined Ss. a 4s. In Foreign Sugars there has little or no business been effected-the quotations are nominal. Corns.-The Coffee market last week was very heavy, generally a shade lower, and a considerable proportion of the quantity offered by public sale was taken in, on account of the low offers which were made. Good'and fine ordinary Jamaica sold at the depreslion of 2s. per cwt. Considerable parcels of Havannah Coffee continue to'be brought forward good ordinary sells at Ns. 6d. a 945. 6d. fine ordi nary 95.. 6d. a les. Intim ?noontime, Bcc.-Government have conclu ded contracts to the extent of 24,000 tierces Beet and Pork, and as 3000 casks were taken for the imme diate wants of the Navy, Stc. both circumstances have bad a favourable effect on. the Provision market, par ticularly India and Mess Peek, which have been in request at prices considerably higher. Bacon is without variation. There are several arrivals of Irish Butter since our last, yet the supply is inadequate to the consumption, the prices in consequence are advancing. IMPORT or FORUON GalllN.-.-The aggregate IWO. rage for the last six weeks has just been taken; the ports continue open to the free importation of Fo reign Wheat, Flour, Barley, and Oats, from all places, and under any Bag, f lfilh November next. Ti). ports are shut against the import of Senn and Peas from any plate whatever, and shot against the import of Rye from ports between the Byder and Bi dassoa. The import of Rye from the Baltic and more distant ports is sail tree. Rroa.—There have been considerable enquiries after after Rice, but no purchasers, except at lower prices. Coooo.—There is more demand for Cocoa. The prices are rather improving. Sistexa—There is little variation in the demand or in the prices of Spice. There is an increase in the enquiries after nutmegs. Pimento in last week's sale realized in several instances ninepence.balfpenny, for good qusli y ; one lot sold for nine•pence.three.far things. Pepper a shade lower. Toaaono.--The late depression in the prices of To bacco has attracted the attention of purchasers ; but there are no buyers but at very reduced rates. A considerable parcel of Georgia: reported to be taken at 514. The prices of 'l'obAcco have very nearly de. dined to the prices at which large export orders are expected to be executed. Onus —There can be no alteration stated in Fish Qils since our last. Linseed is a shade lower. NAVAL Stoats.—There have been no arrivals of rough Turpentine since our last. Spirits maintain the late advance. Tar, Rosin, Pitch, &c. without variation. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDSO-••Rum continues exceedingly heavy. Were sales forced in the present languid 'tato of the market, prices Id. to 2cf. per gal. lon lower would have to be submitted to. The • z ports of last week are extensive, but chiefly we believe former purchases : 670 puncheons were reported for shipping. There is so little Brandy at market, that the quotations are merely nominal; but so great is the anticipation that the prices will decline conside rably, that contracts for arrival are entered into far parcels expected shortly to arrive at prices 6d. to Bc'. per gallon under the quotations of Cugniac. Geneva without any variation . HEW, FLAX, AND TALLow.—The prices of Tal low are again improving ; the imports are more limi ted than was expected. the purchases of Hemp and Flax since our last are Inconsiderable s the prices are without variation. Timarn.—The greatest alarm prey's:ibis our Arne , man Colonies, that a duty will soon be proposed on the Timber from the British Settlements.
