SURREY SESSIONS. The Chairman, Mr. Iletnext, arrived at twenty minute* to ten o'clork, and waited with anxiety for aterher alagistrate, to form a ; but eleven o'clock arrived before any other trade his ap icnrance. The prisoners arid prosecutors looked at each other with a". expression of countenance bordering on despair, and one of the Jurymen. taking up his list, obseived that " he would return in the afternoon." The 'jocose tor._ whit which this was uttered ex• cited the risibility of all present. At length they were relieved by the entrance of the Chairman, foiloaed by Major King, at nearly taelee o'clock, when busyness immediately commenced. J./vs Iriffin was charged wilt leluniously stealing au iron pin ano screw, belonging to a vice. ('tench Mathew, the prosecutor, dcoosed that he was a cooper, and on the *th of last August he left his shop, and in the mornieg lie oilseed 'he screw in question, and went to Myers the officer, and to several prisons who bought old iron, to tell them to stop it it' °Tan d for sale. Nssakea—l keep a fancy shop ; that is, a shop for selling Lied*, rebbits. ere. CHAIRMAW—You sometimes fancy old iron too. do you not? Witness-1 fancied that. Ile then proved having bought it of the wise:cr. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy o arcnunt of his having a wife , and a child two days wnen n the crime was conortilied. Ile 0:33 sentenced to two month's' hard labour, at Goihtford. Elizabct4 Lyana was charged by Samuel P.yfoed, a hnrsly-looking weather-b,aten sailor. with robbing him of his watch, at .1 house of ill Time in Kent-street. Samuel ilyfavd—l am a mariner. I was in the Borough on the Ist of Angus:, and saw the girl at the bar near St. George - m Church. She asked use to go home with her, which I consented to, and ac. companied her ton house in Kent-street. (Ilere he related some particulars which occurred previous to his missing his watch.) He then continued—l missed my watch, which lam certain was in my fob. It was a silver watch. She asked me if she should fetch sonic porter. I then charged her with stealing the watch, but she den.ed it. (At this moment the prieoner, with a polite eort of bow to the witness cooPy told him "he was a list.") Witnees continued—l sent for n constable, who searched and found the watch upon her. I ant ctitaitt this is the watch. Kirby. the constolde, then stated, that he was sent for by the prosecutor. and stashed the prisoner. lie could not find the watch in seerching her clothes, but found it between the hair of her head anti her rap. She then said that the tailor had given it to her, but he declared that he had not. He was as sober then as he is now. The prisoner male a very inganious defence, in which she est. sta ted ted that she had g one home with the prolecutor at his own reqa assaulted her, she made an outcry, and he then gave her the watch to b.. silent. On her refusing to return it, tie seat for a constable, and gave her in charge; but she was quite innocent. The CIi*IIMAIT, in summing up, remarked that she had made a clever defence; in which they had her own statement, but it was unsupported by any evidence. On the other aide, the prosecutor had swans, that she had taken it, and the constable proved having found it no her proton ; and its left It to the judgment of the Jure which they ought to give tuo-t credit to. The Jury, after a short hesitation, found a verdict of Not Guilty ! I ! Thy Cuattatate(doubtingly.)—Did I understand your verdict to be Not Guilty ? The Foreman seemed struck with astonishment at any dnnbt be ing entertained of hitt sagacity. and., after recollecting himself for a few seconds, replied, ee We find her not gu ilt y of stealing train the person, but guilty of having it in her hand." The Cuatuxate, in acquitting her, cautioned her as to her fu ture conduct. POLICE REAL DEL 31(INTE MINING COMPANY. MAWSION-HOUSE.—Vesterdaw, Mr. J. Taylor, the Secretary of the Real Del Monte Mining Company. attended with several of tne Directors, and begged permission td the Lord Mayor to be heard in contradiction of the state.nent made before his Lordship Ly Dobeil, the workman. Mr. Taylor suited that they were anxiitts on many accounts to contradict the statement made before his lordship by Dobell ; but chiefly to set at rest the minds of the relatives of those wh.; had gone out, uto their safety. The reason for the .discharge of I)o -hell his continued intoxication. fie got drunk at 'Madeira, sod was fuond in a state of insensibility, with his collar-bone atul a severe contusion upon his head. The authorities tor Misstatement were the following extracts from letters addressed ny Csiitsin Iron, R. N. (the C unnii*:ioncr in charge of the party with whom Dobed went to Mexico), to him (Mr. Taylor). " Madeira, January 25, Ift2G. " Dobell, I suspect, will quickly save us any further trouble; fort dung no warning by the dead state of iaseasibility in which he lay at Falnututh for a day or two, he here drank to such a degree, that be has fallen down a atone staircase, fractured his collar-bone. otherwise bruised hmsrlf, and, has lain two days in his bed without sense or motion." " Madeira, January 2/1, 11128. " Pour 13.sbell is in a very bnl state, md I enclose you Mr. Price's opinion of him. If he recovers, he never can be able, I fear, to serve the Company." " Sunday, Feb. 19, 1626, off Montserrat. ".The Snrgron of one of the Indiatnen came lii board, and as sisted Mr. Price in examining Dobell ; when it was discovered that his skull was fractured, abort six niche* in length. To our great astonishment, lioweveT, he is now rusiSciutly r: covered to lie able to mine no desk. told his serves have returned about a week. fits lractuitd collar-bane has healed perfseily. He Informs me that his skull was fractured once before, by a fall from a horse. Whe ther he will be able to leave the coast on his arrival, is extremely doubtful." " Pueblo Viego, Tampico. March lit. 1826. " I have been obliged to discharge Dobell, from the utter impos sibility of sending him up the country, as we can devise no means to keep him sober ; and even the next night after landing, he was found drunk, and also ir.seasible, front a bruise on the temple. 31r. Price bled him abnadautiy, and next day he recovered; but at night was in the sane state again. It is Mr. Pzice's opiniod that 'lie cannot travel : he cannot. by his own acknowledgment. take care of himself; and he think% he may find friends at New York. So 1 shall, if possible, procure hall a passage there. Pray find out his wife, and prepare some of his relations to take care of her and his children, for none of us have any hopes that he can live long at this tate. We rather think his heath not quite right, for nothing can math his feelings, and he talks of his wife and children's chance of want with the coolneso and indifiereace of a crazy man." Mr. Tatter further said, that the statement of Captain ',von was cutroborsted by the cettificate of ibe surgeon, and Capt. Thomas, the couttitinulsr of the vessel In w Dultell went out, was now present. and Stimuli: alto confirm N by his testimony. It tellUhl therefore be seen, that the continual intoxicition in which Dobell indulged, and the phrensy it appeartal to produce, rsadered it ne. testier) , toair.charde him. The co/rev:nem of his statement!, with aspect to the mines of Real del 3lonoi, might be judged of by the fact, that although he landed at a port.in .2.lexico, he never was at the mines he -undertook to descrihe, not- within at least 204.1 a. des of them. bat las brought bad. to Raglan , I in the same ship which took hint cut.

The charge fu ousting and ,"iringing it was extremely moderate. ilia Lardship.aaid, the complaint of Dobell was, that her had not Italy been refuset the payment of the money il.t he said wa,; due to him (tea which, ht twever. he had undoubtedly ilia:tattled hinizelf but that he had ba at sent away without even lib complaints being noticed.

FEMALE DEPRAVITY. ow.strwr.rw.—Several unfortunate girli were brought up by the watchman tin misconduct in the streets last night. One of them, seemingly about thirteen years old, told the watchman, on taking her to the wateh-hoose for making use of obscene languago. that she did not care a pin about him ; the utmost he could do was to send her for a nentth to Brixton, where she had been sent a dozen tines befur: after the watchman had stated these facts, and also the unmentionable language which she made use of, the prisoner admitted that she had made use of the words she was charged w it h.

Yesterday, two boys well known to the police. named limb!, and Srucer, were brought up, charged with stealing n mirror. the pro perty of Mr. Moore, a glass-manufacturer, in Russell-street, Covent-garden. The prisoners, and anot her lad not in custody, pretended to he wrestling in front of Mr. Moore's shop, and, as if by accident, rolhd within the door , and t he third lad snatched up a mirror and ran cil* with it. followed by the prisoners at full speed. The latter were secured, but the third boy got off with the mirror. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. &Inane' Mende, a youth, was fully committed on the following charge:— The prisoner went into the house of a Mr. Tennant, at Hammer am ith , and took a silver watch from the mantel-piece, with which he was lvin the premises , when he wan seen by Mrs. Tennant, who coll e ar a h im,, him, and held him till an officer came and took him into custody. COUNTERFEIT COIN. Ilaarox-oaanEx.--Yeaterdatv, a miserable-looking old man, named Joseph Taylor, together rah his wife and son, the latter quite a young lad, were placed at the bar, charged with preparing Gtr circulation divers denominations of spurious coin, purporting to be the genuine currency of the realm. Messrs. Powell and Chippendale attended on behalf of the Mint. The examination, which lasted upwards of tilt) hours, was con. ducted in private; but we learned that the prisoners were appre hended in the neighbourhood of Watworth, and form part of a gang, who carry on this nefarious traffic to a most amazing extent, embracing in the circle of their operation s n ot merel y the whole of the metropolis, hut acting in confederation with smaller parties. who travel all over the kingdom, giving circulation to the issues of this mini. The execution of the the is so fine as to puzzle even the prying eye of his Majesty's Inspect:it . of Coins, and the process by which the metal is coloured is decidedly a new discovery in chemistry. The finished shilling or half-crown would elude the most curious examination, so far as external appearances go ; but when compared with the genuine coins, they are found to be much lighter. The senior male prisoner is an old hand ; but has hitherto contrived to elude the vigilenee of the police; who have long kept him in Time. He was apprehended by bee, Lloyd, and Kirby, who Mond in his apartment a considerable quantity of various coins, in different stages of preparation—some quite finished—scone in pro vest of colouring, and others rough front the mould ; there were also found several bottles of meiotic and sulphuric acids, and some powder used in the new-invented method of whitening the metal, which imparts to it a strength and durability of colour hitherto not attainable. The prisoners made no defence, and were fully committed for trial, on the capital charge, at the next Surrey Avian. GROSS INGRATITUDE. George Williams., a smart young fellow, was placed at the bar on the following charge:— Mr. Charles goberts, a respectable mercantile gentleman, re siding in Sumstreet„ llishopsgate.street, stated, that being in want of a servant, about a month or six weeks ago, he went to St. Luke's workhouse, and asked if there was any young man out of employ, who would be willing to make himself generally useful. The pri soner, who was then in a most destitute state as regarded habili ments, was recommended as a proper person, and one who ' having been well schooled in adversity, was less likely to prove refractory than die more pampered menial. lie was accordingly taken on trial for a week, and performed every thing lie was enjoined to do, not merely with the most implicit obedience, kut he likewise ap neared t.O be quite an flail to his business ; ev e ry respect he pro mised to prove a good servant, and Mr. Roberts, quite pleased to have met with such a chance, gave him a complete outfit of clothes, advanced him something fur present use, and finally engaged him as in-door servant, at the rate of twelve guineas per annum ; but the very week after this haul been arranged he went out one morn ing on some business for his master, and never returned. He was subsequently detected In Islington, and given in custody to a constable ; Mr. Roberts declaring that lie was determined to punish him as far as the law allowed. Mr. Sergeant Sim Low raid he had never met with a ease of blacker ingratitude, and asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself. The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, declared that no one In the world could please Mr. Roberts, and that was the reason why he left hint. Mr. Roberts protested this was the first time he had ever hoard the prisoner make any complaint ; on the contrary, lie scented quite harpy and contented in his si nation. Mr. Sergeant SE,.Low regretted very much that the case did not come within his jurisdiction as he should have felt happy to have punished him for his ingratitude; but unfortunately it was wi:hout the grasp of the law; however, lie would advise Mr. Roberts to summon him for the value of the clothes. The prisoner was discharged, with a suitable admemitit-n. 11F.GAING-LETTER WRITER. Alastanonovou.sTurw.x.--Vesterilay Timothy Carsidy, who has subsisted for the a ktat eighteen or twenty years by writing letters of distress to the opulent, was brought to time office for importuning the Countess of Liverpool, while descending from her carriage at A packet of about twenty letters was found on the primmer, one of which spited him to be " afflicted with deafness, dimness of sight, and spasms that occasioned his sinews to - shrivel up;" an other was of a threatenitig nature, in which the names of persons of quality were used to enforce hit appeal. The footman to Lady Liverpool stated that die prisoner and an other not present were In the frequent habit of writing to his Lord ship fur relief. Thole letters lie did not send to his Lordship. The prisoner had sent a letter to his Lordship, containing a certificate and an order from die Lord Mayer., authorizing his admission into St. Thomas's Hospital. The certificate ran—" This is to certify that the bearer is a poor old man who is going into the Hospital, but whorls , d .stitute of friends or clothin4. The smallest donation will be thankfully accepted. for which the petitioner will feel bound to pray Cur an immortal crown of glory to the donor." Addressed to • The Mohr •Honourable Lord Liverpool, Combs. Wood." These doeuments were left at his Lordship's, and given to her Ladyship's son, Mr. Jenkinson. who desired them to be-given back to the prisoner, w ho watched the opportunity of her Ladyship getting out of her cat liage to midge the application for their return, in the idea that her Ladyship would make inquiries into his wants, and order him relief. Fagan, an officer of the Mendicity Society, knew the prisoner in Dublin. when lie was respectably situated as an attorney's clerk. lie hid known him asa lieggim;•-letter writer sitter 1818, and had hundreds and hundreds of his letters. Last season they gave him a pound to help him on his road to go hopping, from whence they did not know of his return ; then he had left off writing in his own name, and adopted the cases of others, since which lie had recant. silenced ill his (WI) name. The prisoner said lie lived in the parish of St Sepulchre, and had been respectably MT in Dublin, where he failed, and went into the army, whence lie was discharged. His Colonel was Sir John Doyle. Ile had oo friends to help him in this country, or he would hat solicit the aSSistance of the benevolent. As the prisoner was not actually asking alms, though re. vesting the return of his letters was with that intent, Mr. CONANT objected to convict him under the Vagrant Act ; end, after a con. v. ts,stion with Fagan as to sending him to Ireland, the prisoner was ords red to Le brought up to-morrow (this day).

EFFECTS OF INEBRIETY. Many cr.nown.--jullus Crrsar (called by the watchman Juliet Seater), et man of colour, was brought forward on a elm ge of in toxication. The watchman stated that he found the prisoner lying dead drunk upon tae pavement about eleven o'clock on Monday night. The prisoner, Upon being asked who be was, said, in a tone . far from dictatorial, that lie. came from Arbroath, and that he is at present in the service of General Russel, in George-street : He was taking a firappy last night, and M the course of the evening fell in with some girls, who kindly robbed hint of some money and his breast-pin. 111 r. thurr I Tll, after having admonidied the prisoner to abstain from getting drunk in future, said that he thought he was punished severely enough by ids isntaie iend, anti dincliarged him.—Caesar then thanked his Worship, heisted, and made his c t it. • A THIEF DETECTED. Thomas if was charged by William Stocks, chesse monger, 128, Edgware-road, with then. The complainant stated that he took the prisoner into his service storm a fortnight ago; on die evening of Thursday last, he saw a shilling lying below the counter, wad in the thorniug it war gone ; he observed the same on Friday evening, and on tiaturday morning it was also gone; he missed eighteen-pence yesterday morning, anti, suspecting the pri soner, he sent for a riatchniao, who accordingly came, but refused to search the prisoner. He then sent for a police - o f fi c e r, but upon 1 the message being given, prisoner delivered two stilling!' to the complainant, and said that was all he had stolen. The two bhil lingo were produced. Charles Boater, 129, Edgware-road., said that the complainant i stated to him last week that he suspected the prisoner was guilty of stealing the money, upon which witness recommended him to put a particular mark upon smite shillings ; ;fitness accordingly marked twenty shillings, with the letters C. It, and two crosses. The two shillings now produced hear these markit. The prisoner had nothing to say fur himself, and was of course fully committed. ' Qurgst..sultattE.—.lartr Grahanz, a girl about 17 years of age, was charged with haring obtained, utoitl a false pretence, ore sheet and two gowns, the property of a Mr. Patchard. The prisoner had gone to the house of Mr. Ilatchard, oval asked the servant girl for the linen, saying her mother sent her—she aecordiagly gave her the above articles; but instesd of the prisoner t.: king them homes she pledged the property at a pawnbroker's. The mother of the girl said she did not send her daughter to Mr. Hatchard's house, neither had she resided with her for some days past. The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence, and she was ordered to be remanded fur further examination. ROBBERY. UNION llALL.—Yesterday, two young men, brothers, named Robert and larluird belfry, of respectable appearance, who were described Commission Agents, were brought before the Sitting I Magistrate, R. J. Cita:tingls, Esq., charged on suspicion of I robbing a poor widow, named Anne Frances , of 7:11. in Bank of England notes, together with several articles of plate, and some do cuments of great value to the owner. The complainant stated that she is the widow of the Master of a West !rifleman. On the 17th of this month, during her abscnce from home, a desk containing 7a/. in notes, two sorcreigns, and sundry livers of importance, was broken open, and the whole of the contents taken. On discovery, she informed the prisoner, Robert Drury, of the robbery, for whom she always entertained the highest opinion, and who, at that period, lodged in her house. He affected to synindthize with her, and advised a number of bills to be printed and distributed about the town, describing the stolen property, and offering a reward for its restoration. Subtequently she also missed two miniatures of herself and husbind, in gilt Nunes, and gave information of the robbery to Mr. Cope, one of the City Marshals, who immediately interested himself in her be half, and in the course of a conversation he had with the prisoner, Robert Drury, on the subject, ascertained that that person had a knowledge of one particular document relating to the title of some houses, amongst the stolen papers, of the existence of, which, pre. ViQUS to the robbery, no hadirittual was aware except Mrs. Frances herself. Mr. Cope at once suspected that Drury was implicated in the robbery, notwithstanding the good opinion entertained of him, and his apparent distress of mind at the misfortunes of the widow. The M crehal accordingly applied for a search warrant at this office, and proceeded to the prisoner's residence in Buxton-street, Lam beth, accompanied by Pople and Newcomb, two officers of this es. tablishmenf. On their entrance into the house, the prisoners were denied by the servant, bat the officers commencing to execute the warrant, found both the prisoners in rooms up stairs. A noise was heard to proceed from the yawl, and on looking out crone of the back windows Mr. Cope observed thnt a miniature-frame had been just flung out of the window of the room in which Richard Drury was taken into custody. The miniature-frame was produced before the Magistrate, and identified by Mrs. Frances, as forming part of the stolen property. Mt. Cope also produced a 101. note, one of those stolen from the complainant, with Richard Drury's endorsement on the Ina of it, which appeared to hare been paid into Sir James Esdaile's bank subsequent to the robbery. Tire Magistrate asked the prisoner Robert where he got. the pie ture.frame that was tound in the yard ? He replied, that if he was allowed time he should have an opportunity of refuting the alleged charge. 'Hie frame, he said, he had purchased from a man, whom he should bring forward to tes.ify to that fact. The miniaturearame was, however, narrowly examined by the Magistrate, who dis covered the complainant's Fame written in pencil on the inside. Mr. Cope having intimated that lie should bring forward further evidence on the next examination, the prisoners were remanded. During the awful betapost on Friday evening last, as Mr. Edward Clay; of Greenstead Park, Colchester, and his two sons, were pasaing through Thorpe-street, on their way home from IValton Shore, a flash of lightning struck their gig, and instantaneously shivered it to pieces. Mr. Clay and his sons were thrown a considerable ti stance, and each received several bruises, but no material injury. The horse being completely released by the shock, and much frightened, galloped MI at speed, and arrived safe at Greenstead. • Several persons who witnessed the accident state that they distinctly saw the lightning strike the gig, the wheels and axletree of which are the only part remain ing unbroken.—Same evening, a boy in the employ of Mr. D. Sharp, Mahlon, was struck by the lightning, and great fear is entertained of his losing his sight.—Essex Herald. PETERMINEP SUICIDE.—Last Thus'lay night, about nine o'clock, a journeyman bread-baker, of the name of William Spence, walked into the shop of Mr. Tesseman, at the corner of Call-lane, Kirkgatc, Leeds, and, without speaking a word, seized a large cheese-knife, which he plunged into his body ; he then rushed into the street, where he drew the knife across his throat with such fatal violence, as almost to sever his head from his body, and falling prostrate, instantly expired. This unfortunate man, who has left a wife and six children, bad been for same time in a state of despondency, occasioned by exces sive drinking. An incident occurred a few days since, which verifies the sating, that "what's bred in the bone cannot be eradicated ikom the flesh."—A serjeant of the Guards, while on his way from London by the Hope coach, to Huddersfield, where he was going on the recruiting service, had his pocket picked of his pocket-book, containing 21. 45. 61. in money, by a fellow-passenger. The transaction took place between Leicester and Mountsorrel, at which latter place the thief was seen to throw the book away, over a wall, as the coach was travelling along the road. At a convenient opportunity the coachman and guard acquainted the ser jeant with what they had seen, and pointed out the deli]. qucnt. The scrjeant felt about his person for his pocket book, when he found the information but too correct—both book and money were missing. On the arrival of the coach at the Black's Head, Nottingham, the fellow was seized, and 11. 10s. 01. found upon him, the remainder of the money having, as lie confessed, been appropriated by him at Loughborough, to the payment of his fare to Sheffield. He was taken to the House of Correction ; but as the ser jeant did not apptar, on his being, brought up for examina tion, he was liberated.--It turned out that the delinquent, whose name 'is James Waters, or Walters, had been dis- , charged only three days from the hulks, where he had been sent for seven years, but on account of his good be- Aaviour had had two years of his punishment remitted. At Leicester, it appeared, his funds became quite ex. hausted, as he had not enough by a shilling to pay his fare to that place. He, however, continued his journey, when the force of habit was called in aid, to raise the needful, and supply his wants. We apprehend that another snob' a meritorious action will entitle him to a passport Ni of the country for life. MARKETS.

The two_public sales this forenoon, consisting of 162 casks, and ICI bags Coffee went off steadily ; there was not the slightest variation in the eces. 8 GA R.-The great demand for Muscovades this day week, and the consequent advance of the prices, which we then noticed, occa sioned the buyers to pause; the market prices were however nen supported, but there was great languor in the trade, and the pus chases did not average 1,000 Wade. per day as nn the previous week. The market-day to-day has been without briskness, but 8 1 11hhds. have been sold at very full prices; several holders are asking an winner. The Barlaadoesi sale this forenoon went off rather higher. The briskness in the Refined Market on Tuesday last was not supported ; towards the close of the week the request became lan guid, purchases could be made on rather lower terms. Brown Lumps were offered freely at 775. ; the wholes de Grocers Feinted no disposition to purchase for the home cortsureption ; Molasses selling at 275.

Rl-M, BRANDY, and HOLLANS.-The prices of Emu have lately advanced about 61 per gallon, chiefly on account of the failure of the Spring Corn crop to this country, and the eertaiety of Engles') Spirit advancing ; the stock is also above 9000 casks, less than last year. In addition to these 'reasons for an advance, [ Government suddenly estate forward with a contract for about 1,00 puncheons, and so early a day as Thursday next being filed for the contract, occasioned on Saturday morning an uncommon sense.

Some parcels of I s eewards. which had on friday morning been purchased at 34. 3d., sold at 2s. 5d.: one parcel of Lecwards, 3 over, sold also at 2s. sd. These were the only transac tions, though numberless offers about the advance we have stated were refused. and as the trade have no srock adequate to the con tract, it was generally believed it would go oft' at a high price. Previous to this advance, tine Jipeteeces had geme n t e s , Ise,, end for one parcel tine 3s. tkl. waif' offered and refused. The Brandy market was also agitated by the answer from Government to the petition praying that all Brandies old landed should be regauged, and paymtneof the duty only to apply to the quantity by the new gauge, it was granted for Brandies bonded one year, but art appli cation by parties showing that some parcels would be within the year next week, the following one, and so on, it was understood the privilege would be granted on all Brandies now in the leeks ; the former answer was official, the latter is only an understanding, but from what passed, the pariieulere of which are before us, there is little doubt on the subject. Old Brandies, which were selling at 2s. 9d. a 2s 101. sold at 2s. 11d. a Is. ; the others in proponioe. Geneva was without any variation. At the close of the market an !Rewards offer under 2s. ed., and few parcels at that price. Scotch and English Malt Spirit 10s. W. cash ; Irish, no sellers.

The demand for Hemp appears again reviving. Flax continues to be held firmly for higher prices. TOBACCO.-The sales of' Tobacco for the week ending last night inclusive are about 1000 hhds. generally at prices a shade higher, and we believe no parcels of ordinary now offer under 3d.: there were, however, some sales of ordinary last week disposed of at lid. a 3d. and export Strips 30. a 4d. A cargo of Kentucky Tobacco sold at 255. per 100tb. manifest weight, and some Ken tucky at 34th. COTTON.-The Cotton market wss checked last week by the deelaratiens of the East India Company ; the prices are, however. fully supported, and it is believed the quantity brought forward will go off readily, as Cottons are much wanted by the trade.

VESICLES OBSERVED UNDER THE 'VONORE, The ioii(;;iiii case by Pr. Oppert, of Berlin, is interest ing, inasmuch as it adds to the testimony already advanced in favour of exciting suppuration in parts bitten by a rabid animal, and maintaining it for some weeks, at least, after the injury : m a ,i a r uo N. 29 years of ace, of a weakly constitution, was, on the 18th December, 1823, bitten on the ring linger of the right hand by a dog. Immediately afterwards the dog was carried to the veterinary school (Berlin), and died on the 18 h December, with all the symptoms of hydrophobia. As the aniaul had shown no signs of this disease previous to being taken to the school, the medical attendant was not sent for till the 18th. _ _ _ On examining the wound there was found on the posterior sat , . face of the first phalanx of the ring finger of tile right hand a bluish spot, of the size and form of a shilling. There was no excoriatian. In the middle, however, or this contusion, if it may be co called, there was a aniallapoint, similar to what might hare been expacted from the impression left by a pointed tooth. it was considered pro. per to take all the steps necessary to prevent an attack of hydro phobia. The epic was first of all scarified with a lancet, well rib bed with caustic, and afterwards covered with pulvis eantharatlis, and unguentunt cantharidum. After this hail been done the tonme of the patient was examined, and there was found, to the astooislunent of the medical attendant, close to the frrenum and the openings of the ducts of the sublingual gland., two small vesicles. about the size of a poppy or millet seed, tilled with a kind of lymph, similar, in short, to what 31arochetti has described. They were contained in the small duplicature of she membrane which covers the mouth of the duct under the tongue. A knitting pin was now made red hot, and both these tumours were completely destroyed by the fermi' canclens, a trial of no small dif ficulty, ea the patient was very restleas durieg the operation. The nerva and radix genista tinctoriw, in the form of a decoction, were given internally. The latter both as a gargl.e and internally, to the extent!of several cupfuls daily. On the 19 h, the cauterized 'carton the finger was covered with a scab, the iitirittimation extended all over the first phalanx of the faurth flager, and produced much pain, extending as far up no the axilla. Want of stet p. weariness, less of appetite, came on. The patient had flatulence and indigestion, after ' taking the decoction of the genista, but still continuer to use it till the end of the fourth week. On the fourth or fifth day, suppura tion came on after the web had fallen off. The WOOllll being much inflamed, and very painful, only unguent. basil, was applied as a dressing, listless it showed a disposition to heal. when the ung. canthar. was again applied. In the flth week the wound was Closed, and in the 9th week.; when this paper was written, no 'symptoms of hydrophobia bad shown theinselem —Lancet. A most distressing case of hydrophobia has occurred at Sallied. A Mr. Vaughan, who resided is Back Cohdrg-street, was bitten about two months ago by strange cat, which exhibited no symp toms of disento, but was playing with a cat belonging to Mr. Vaughan. The wound, which was slight, was inflicted on the "oft part, betatten the thumb and the fore linger of the right hand. The do t after receiving the bite, Alr. Vaughan went to a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who put a common dressing to die wound; it healed In a few days, and ?lolling more was thatight of it until londay, when Mr. Spencer was once more called in to visit his patient, whom lie found exhibiting symptoms of fever as well as other symptoms of a peculiar nature, which 3lr. Spencer discovered to be those usually ascribed to hydrophobia. Be requested the as sistance of several other medical gentlemen, who used every effort to administer medicines that arc usually prescribed in such cases ; hut the indisposition of the unfortunate patient to receive anything ' (Castrated their endeavours; and such as he was prevailed on to take did not have the slightest effect. lie manifested the usual symptoms at the sight ut a looking-glass, or of fluids; he was, however, several times prevailed on to take a little water, but swallowed it with great difficulty, and complained that it litirthini. We do not know whether he was aware of the nature of his dia. ! order, but from his frequently expressing a wish to get rid of the medical men who attended bias, it in probable that he had a sus picion on the bubjcct. Ile remained in a state of great suffering trona Monday noon to midnight on Wednesday. when ha expired - , having been in possession of his faculties until within half an hour before his death ; though, when suffering under the paroxysms of the disorder, he was so violent as to require considerable restraint. Nothing is known of the fate of the animal which inflicted the wound, as nobody could tell to whom it belonged ; but, as it ex hibited no symptoms of disease, it is not improbable that this is another of those earn. wherein the bite of an enraged animal, rot labouring under hydrophobia, has produced that disease In human beings.

The Proprietors of the British and Foreign Commercial Empo rium most respectfully and energetically Announce to the entire Community of Great Britain, and its prodigious dependencies, that in consequence of the long-continued unparalleled distress f the English Silk Weavers, they have, contrary to a previous actual in. tention, positively declined rorchmsing French Silks, and they anxiously add, for the information of the whole world (as it ape. ciaily concerns all commereill nations), that it is weli known to most ladies of taste, and of the haul ton, in tie great cities of ER. rope, that the generality of French Silks spot immediately on wow ing. Those that do not spot are principally and assuredly of Enfi iSII manufacture, but have been, and are, sold by unprincipled enders as French. N.B. At the Comtnercial Emporium no goods are ticketed, n abatement mails, and every article warranted perfect, and are Re tailed at the Wholesale and Manufacturer's Prices, _which is not done at any of the pretended Cheap Shops, where goods are ticket ed, ond customers ealur deceived or cheated. This assertion is not more harsh than true (and affects not the upright dealer), for it is a notorious truth, to the great annoyance of many respectable people, that this is actually the ease, wherever goods are marked cheap deceptively, and where very low prices are stated in advertisements; tam efore, to prevent mistakes, the public will please to notice that thd British and Foreign Emporium for decidedly cheap, fashion able, and durable Silks, Linens, Cottons, Woollens, and Hosiery, ! is a narrow-fronted, very long Warehouse, with a golden lion in the window, antii es ii conducted n"1 junctietiN MULLIN and Co.
