CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been on a very limited scale, and prices generally have shown less firmness. Tea, however, has been in fair demand at about previous values. Sugars have been inactive, and only the finer descriptions have realised former prices. Ta the refined market scarcely any business has been transacted, and prices are a shade easier. Coffee has been dealt in to a limited extent without material change in values. For rice there has been an active inquiry, chiefly for home consumption, and advanced rates have been realised for the finer sorts. Fruit and spices have been dull, as also saltpetre, but tallow has shown a slight advance for present and forward delivery. _ _ It has been announced that 17 bonds of the Swedish Provincial Mortgage Loan of 1852, amounting to £2,900, will be paid off at par on the Ist of June next. The demand for money continues active, and it is chiefly traceable to the ordinary requirements of trade ; the tendency of the rates, however, must still be considered favourable, although very little accommodation can yet be obtained under 4 per cent. Bankers and others are no doubt expecting a better inquiry consequent upon the railway and other payments falling due in the course of the next fortnight. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a heavy appearance, and prices of all descrip tions were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 14,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for ex port and 3,000 on speculation. Li the Railway Share Market business was very quiet, but prices rather firmer. The report to be presented at the forthcoming meeting of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company states that the traffic receipts of the half- Sear, to the 31st of December last, amounted to £BO,OOB 7s. sd, and the expenses to £46,705 17s. 9d., leaving a balance of £33,302 9s. Bd. The market for Public Securities continue in an inactive state, the dealings both for investment and on speculation being exceedingly limited.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ROBBERY OF A LOCKET OF THE VALUE OF £1,200, AND OF BRACELETS OF TILE VALUE Or £ooo.—James Pearce, of 5, Albion-grove, Stoke Newington, lapidary, and Emily Law, same address, were charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing at 5, Hanover-square, a diamond locket, of the value of £1,200, the property of Mr. Harry Emmanuel, goldsmith and jeweller; and also on suspicion of stealing four diamond bracelets of the value of £6OO, the property of Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, Sce., New Bond street. In the possession of the prisoners were found two gold watches, three diamond rings, chain and locket, gold chain, pair of gold bracelets, a pair of diamond ear-rings, a brooch and locket attached, an opera glass and case, £4O in gold, &c. The prisoners, it appears, have been living in a very respectable style, keeping two female servants and a horse and gig, and in the bedroom of the female prisoner was found about 30 dresses of an expensive character. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely .place, appeared for the prosecu ion. Inspector Whither, and other witnesses, having been examined sufficiently to justify a remand, the prisoners, against whom it is believed other charges will hereafter be preferred, wero remanded. THAMES. A SERIES 01' ROBBERIES BY A SERVANT GIRL.—A young Irishwoman, named Mary Sullivan, aged 20, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing three gold finger rings, two gold earrings, a silver thimble, a piece of Coburg cloth, two pairs of goloshes, two chemises, a glass cloth, three handkerchiefs, and £2 ls. 3d. in money, from the dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph Clarke, of the Sun public-house, on Tower-hill. It appeared that the prisoner had only been in the ser vice of Mr. Clarke for three days, and in the course of that time the above property was missed. Suspicion fell on th• prisoner, and her mistress searched her box and found the ..hree gold finger rings wrapped up in paper on the top of the box. The other property and a purse belonging to Mrs. Clarke, containing £2 ls. 3d., was also found in the box• On Saturday night the prisoner said two dresses were being made for her, and she was allowed to go out on her representation that she was going to fetch the new dresses. She was gone about three hours, and upon her return she had on a pair of new boots. She excused her self for her long absence by stating that she had waited while the boots were being made. She then had on a piece of neck ribbon belonging to her mistress, and on being asked how she came by it, she said she found it. Other property was afterwards missed, and the prisoner was given into custody. She then said sumo of the rings belonging to Mrs. Clarke, senior, the mother of Mr. Clarke, were in a piece of poplin under the drawers. A policeman named Burgess subsequently discovered Bs. 9d. concealed between the bed and the mattress in the room where the prisoner had been sleeping. Mr. Yardley asked how it was the prisoner could have taken S 9 many things and so much money in so short a time, and Mrs. Clarke replied that the prisoner came into her service with a tolerably good character and had access to everything in the house. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until to-morrow. B ANKRUPTCY COURT MYSTIFICATION One word on the mystery of book-keeping, in relation to the Court of Bankruptcy. How is it to be accounted for, that we so frequently find men of business, who are well able to keep their own accounts in an intelligible manner, frankly admitting that they cannot understand the accounts brought out in what ought to be the very head-quarters of clear and intelligible acaountantship ? I must confess that, although, perhaps, more accustomed than the majority of tradesmen to dealing with accounts, both of a private and of a public nature, those of the Bankruptcy Court are to me an inscrutable mys tery. The accounts of the plodding trader who has kept his own books after his own fashion—not perhaps exactly in the style and form which would please a professional accountant, yet so as to pre sent a clear and consistent meaning to himself, or to any one who examines them in the light of mere plain common sense—go into the hands of the ac countants of the court, are dissected, turned, twisted, and reconstructed according to their fancy, and then reproduced with such mar vellous transformations that the bewildered debtor cannot recognise his own transactions in them, and possibly with some prominent point which he knows to be inconsistent with fact; yet to these accounts he is required to swear without book-keeping, and involving stigmacom p comprehending h o e f n din defectivethe m, on pain of incurring the both himself and the estate in the annoyance of delay, and of a second enormous expense, by refer ring them back to the accountant. A little practical experience in such matters tends to explain how it is that the honest trader who is driven by sheer misfortune into the Bankruptcy Court, is so frequently snubbed and exposed to the imputation of defective book-keeping, while the astute swindler, whose business career has been a fraud from beginning to end, succeeds in placing himself so completely en rapport with of the Court as to come the thr ougi with book-keeping rfly ot in n ge i o o l n o s urs, parading, as no unim portant item in the capital with which he com mences a fresh campaign against society, the eulo gium pronounced by the Commissioner upon his ex cellent book-keeping and the clearness and beauty with which his accounts set forth his success in doing his creditors.—Lilwall' s Mercantile Circular.

Grogan, in order to show that Irish barristers have con trived to get the " best things going" in Australia in the way of public employment. Here is the catalogue of the fortunate Hibernians :—The Chief Justice of Victoria. Sir William Foster Stawell, is a member of the Irish bar; salary, £3,000 per annum. Mr. Redmond Barry and Mr. Robert Molesw orth, puisne judges (salary £2,500), are both Irishmen ; Mr. Richard Davies Ireland, the Solicitor- General (salary 1,500) ; Mr. Wrixon, judge of the County Court (salary 1,500) ; Mr. Michael Francis Macaboy, chair man of General Sessions (.C1,500) ; Mr. James Langton Clarke, ditto ; Mr. John Foster, Mr. M'Creight, and Mr. John Atkins, Crown Prosecutors at General Sessions (salary £600), all are Irishmen, and members of the Queen's Inns, Dublin. The Irish element is more in the ascendant in Victoria than in any other British colony. The colonelcy of the 10th Regiment remains vacant by the death of Sir Thomas M'Mahon, and no re commendation has yet been made to her Majesty respecting the selection of th© officer to be appointed in his place.- 41rmy and Navy Gazette.

A naval court-martial assembled yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, for the trial of John Clarke, a private in the Royal Marines, belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar, on the charges ".of having, when the port watch was ordered to fall in on the starboard gang way, endeavoured to delay and discourage the ser vice by falling in with that watch, when he Ix-- longed to the starboard, and by afterwards denying that he knew to which watch he belonged;" and, secondly, " for misconducting himself and disobey ing orders while being conveyed in the Edgar's cutter to her Majesty's ship Victory." The Court comprised—Rear-Admiral Sir H. Keppel, K.C.8., President; Rear-Admiral J, E, Erskine; Captains Gordon, O'Callaghan, Hewlett, C. 8., Harris, Hellyar, Wilson, Caldwell, C. 8., Strange, Vansit tart, Tumour, and Mackenzie. After the reading of the customary formal papers and correspondence, witnesses for the prosecution were called. Captain James Edward Baton, commanding her Majesty's ship Edgar, being examined, deposed— On the sth of April the 'lay after the ship's arrival at Spithead from Lisbon, leave was granted to 50 of the ship's company-35 seamen and 15 marines. Their leave extended until 7.30 on the 7th. Again, on the 7th, the same leave was granted to the same number of seamen and marines. On the 9th leave was extended to 12 percent. of the ship's company. This was extended to the seamen, but, as 12 ner cent, of the marines were already on shore, leave was not granted to them. On the afternoon of the same day the marines, through their officers, re quested to see me. I was engaged at the moment, and said I would see them shortly. Immediately afterwards Lieutenant Storey, Royal Marines, re. ported to me that the marines refused to dismiss. I replied, " Never mind, let them remain, and I will see them when at leisure." About a quarter of an hour afterwards I went on the quarter deck and ordered the marines to fall in there, and inquired of them what they wanted. They said they wished to know if their long leave was stopped ; that they knew some of the Donegal's crew were on shore at Portsmouth, at that time, and that it was hard they mid not have the same indulgence. I told them that, to the best of my knowledge, their leave was not stopped. I could not speak for certain, but thought when orders came from the Admiralty, re lative to fitting the ship they would probably get their leave, and advised them to go to their work quietly, for what they were doing was the wrong way to get their leave. They then went away. On the following day I was en board, between 1 and 3 p.m., when Commander Waddilove reported to me that :the marines had been behaving in an insubordinate manner, and that John Clarke, the prisoner, had been behaving insubordinately, by stating that he did not know what watch he belonged to, and that he, the Commander, had in consequence placed him in irons. Captain Charles Louis, commander of the Royal Marines on board the Edgar—On the 10th inst. I was sent for on the quarter deck by Commander Waddilove, and, in consequence of what then passed between us, I sent Lieut. Cairneros's on the lower deck to muster the port watch of marines on the upper deck. They came up, but with them the greater part of the watch below and some of the guard, and all fell in on the starboard gangway. I then, by Commander Waddilove's direct ions, ordered the port watch to fall in 'on the port gangway. The whole of the men passed over, and I then ordered Lieut. Cairn cross to muster the starboard watch over on the starboard gangway. This was done, and reported to me. The starboard watch were then dismissed, and Commander Waddilove went to the port watch, on the port gangway, and ordered the 4th subdivision to man the yard whip. The whole of the men of the watch, with some of the starboard watch, moved aft to the whip. The Commander then asked each man, or nearly so, what subdivision of the watch he belonged to, ordering those that be longed to the 4th subdivision to stand fast, and the others to go forward. The prisoner stated that he did not know where he belonged, that he did duties in both watches, and did not know what part he belonged to, or words to that effect. The Commander then asked me whether the prisoner knew what part of the watch he belonged to. I said he must know it. I was then ordered by Commander Waddilove to have the prisoner placed in irons in the fore cockpit. Two non-commis sioned officers were sent to carry out that order. I produce my watch-bill and find that the prisoner belongs to the 4th section of the starboard watch, and there has been no alteration in the watch•bill, except for a period of about a week in December last, when the prisoner, I believe, did duty in the port watch. By the Court—The prisoner's manner expressed dissatisfaction. In replying to Commander Wad dilove his words were respectful, but his manner was sullen. When ordered by the Commander to be placed in irons he went without remonstrance, and said he would go quietly, or words to that effect. Lieutenant Swinburne, R.N., belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar, and John Bolls, the coxswain of the cutter which conveyed the prisoners from the Edgar to her Majesty's ship Victory, were shortly examined for the defence, after which the Court closed to consider its finding, which was read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate, and found that a spirit of insubordination had been shown by a por tion of the crew of her Majesty's ship Edgar, at Spithead, on the 10th inst., and also found the prisoner guilty on the charges brought against him, and sentenced him to two years' imprison ment, with hard labour, in her Majesty's gaol at Winchester, and at the conclusion of that period to be dismissed her Majesty's Royal Marine forces with disgrace. The Court was then re-sworn, and immediately proceeded to try James Mining, gunner, Royal Marine Artillery, and John Menzies, Royal Marine, on charges of having prevented Sergeant Lash bourn and Corporal Stack from putting John Clarke, the prisoner in the last case, in irons, in the fore-cockpit, and for having rescued him from their custody." The Conti found the charges not proved against the prisoners. The Court will re-assemble this morning and proceed with the ttialofiie;CMaining cases, there being yet 33 prisoners on board the Victory for trial, belonging to her Majesty's ship Edgar.

The Boston Courier of the 2d mentions the arrest of a man named James Johnson on board the ship Brewster, Capt. Fessenden, from Calcutta, Nov. 30, on a charge of murdering three seamen belonging to the British man-of-war Retribution, from Cal cutta, about five months since. The facts in the case, as near as can be ascertained, are as follows : "Johnson is an Englishman by birth, and states that he is 23 years of age, althmigh he appears several years older. He belonged to the British army in India, - froni which be deserted two or three years since: He afterwards acted as a bar-tender at a low rum shop in Calcutta, and it was here that he, with others, murdered the three seamen. The men were killed by being beaten over the head with a slung shot and glass bottles. ThE y were sui-iposed to have been murdered for their money. Johnson was supposed to be the chief perpetrator of this horrible murder, and officers were sent in every direction to ferret him out if possible. Ile escaped, however, by hiding behind a eftimney in the Louse of a friend, where he remained three days without anything to eat. At the end of that time he left, and smuggled himself on board the ship North America, which was to sail immediately Tor the United States. He bribed the mate by giVing him a gold watch to allow him to remain. He was de tected; however, by some of the crew, as a fugitive from justice, and sent on shore. Ile then went on board the bark Clarissa Currier, which was hound for Boston, and bribed the mate by giving two gold rings and, a silver watch to allow him to stay ; but here ho was discovered again while going down the river Hoogly, and to get rid of him they sent him on board the ship Brewster, which was just leaving for this port. He climbed over the bows of that ship, and, when one of the sailors asked him what he wanted, he said„" For God's sake save me ; if the officers get hold of me I shall catch the seven stretchers.' fhey concluded to bring him over, and did not suspect at the time that he was a murderer. The sailors state - that during the passage he has been seen to start up in his sleep, and cry out,' Go away, I did not murder you alone ; he helped me to do it.' IMy God, there they are !' See the blood and other exclamations of horror,- mingled with oaths. The police are in search of the mate - of the Clarissa Currier, to whom the prisoner is supposed to have confess,d the crime. The ship arrived here about a week since, and the mate has concealed him self on account of a debt for which he has become liable, and for which a warrant has been issued against him. The evidence is probably strong enough to convict him without the testimony of the mate, but the British Consul desires to have the evi dence beyond a doubt before sending him to Cal cutta. Johnson is of medium size, arta has a decidedly hard looking face, especially when looked upon as a murderer. He refuses to hold any conversation in regard to the crime with which he is charged." A Vicksburg (Mississippi) paper relates another case of negro burning as follows : " We have just come in possession of the follow ing facts in relation to the burning of a negro man at Mr. Woolfolk's plantation on Deer Creek. It seems that - the negro thus summarily dealt with was a vicious, self-willed fellow, and, becoming offended at a woman (black) on the same planta tion, wall:ed up to her as she was working in the field and deliberately plunged his knife into her heart. Upon perpetrating this bloody deed he fled to the woods, not, however, before giving several other negroes to understand that their time would come next, and after them two white men living hard by. Dogs were put on his track, and after a chase of seN o ral hourshe was captured, though not without a des perate struggle—the pursuers being put to all they knew to take him alive. Having securely bound him, they took him back to the plantation to con sider what was best to be done in his case. Several highly respectable gentlemen were present at the council, who concluded the severest punishment possible should be inflicted upon the black despe rado who had for so trivial a cause taken life, as it might be the means of repressing at once any simi lar ebullition of passion on the part of other despe rate negroes in the neighbourhood. They decided to burn him at the stake, which was done in the presence of all the negroes on that and several of the adjoining plantations, all of whom seemed ter rified out of their wits on viewing so awful a scene. The spirit of the doomed negro never was subdued. He died cursing his judges—his last words being that he would 'take vengeance on them when they meet each other in —.'" • PRIZE-FIGHT in ANCIENT TDIES, or a" BELL'S LIFE" in the YEAR 260 B.C. A correspondent writes as follows :—The contest between Pollux and Amycus, az; described by Theo critus in his 22d idyll, is so singularly like the late fight for the championship that I think the follow ing extract from Mr. Banks's literal translation will amuse and interest those who are not already acquainted with it. The idyll in question describes the arrival. of the Argonauts in Jason's ship at the shores of the Bebriciams, and their landing. Castor and Pollux,, going i❑ quest of water, meet the gigantic Amycus, and a quarrel ensues : (Extract from Idyll xxii. of Theocritus.) " And here a man of overwhelming size would sit and take the air, terrible to look upon, having his ears bruised with hard thumps, and his huge chest and broad back were arched and rounded with iron flesh like a forged colossus. And on his strong arms the muscles stood out at the surface of the shoulder, like round stones, which the river tor rent has polished by rolling in its vast eddies; but over his back and neck was hung a lion's skin, fastened on by the paws, and him the prize-man Pollux first bespoke:— " Poll.—Save you, stranger, whoever you are , ; who are the mortals to whom this country belongs? And they quickly gathered together to the shade of the plane trees, at the blast of the trumpet, the always long-haired Bebricians. In like manner, too, Castor, pre-eminent in fight, went and summoned from the Magnesian ship all the heroes. Now they, when in fact they had fortified their hands with coils of ox-hide, and had rolled great thongs araund their arms, proceeded to engage in the midst, breathing slaughter one against the other. Hereupon a great struggle arose to them, as they were urgent which of the two should get the glare of the sun at his back. But by skill you over reached a great hero, 0 Pollux, and all the counte nance of Amycus was being struck with rays. Then he, in sooth, enraged at heart, was advancing for ward, taking aim with his hands ; when the son of ndarus hit the tip of his chin as he came on, and he was raised more than before, and dealt his blows at random, and kept rushing on with great force, bending over the earth, and the Bebricians began to shout ; but on the other side the heroes were cheering on strong Pollux, though fearful lest haply, in a narrow spot, a man resembling Tityus should bear down and subdue him. But, in truth, the son of Jove, on his part, coming up with him in one place and another, kept wounding him with both hands in turn, and was checking from his onslaught the son of Neptune, overbearing though he was, and he stood reeling with blows, and spat out gory blood, and then all the chiefs raised a shout together when they saw grievous wounds about his mouth and jaws, and his eyes were straitened for room on his swollen visage. "Him,indeed, the Prince Pollux disturbed by making feints with his fists on every side ; but when, at length, he perceived that he was dis tressed, he drove his fist above the middle of his nose right down his brow, and stripped off all his forehead to the bone. But he, having been stricken, measured his length on his back among the green grass. Hereupon a fierce fight arose again when he had righted himself, and they were hurting one another by blows with the hard emstus. But the ruler of the Bebricians, for his part , was directing his fists against the chest and o utside the neck of his foe, while Pollux, the invincible, was disfigur ing all the other's visage with unseemly blows, and his flesh (i.e., that o f Am y cus) was sinking through sweat, and, from being huge, he had become on a sudden a little man ; but the oth er , as he tasted toil , was bearing limbs even st ronger, and still improving in healthy colour. N o w, how at last the son of Jove overthrew th e athlete declare , thou goddess, for thou knowest a nd I, the interpreter of others, will speak as much as thou desirest , and is agre ea bl e to thy self. In truth, Amycus, on his part b e i ng desi rous to do some great deed, seized with his left hand the left hand of Pollux, bending slantwi; with a lunge, and, with the other hand making h's assault, raised his broad fist from his right s;de, as d he would have hit and injured the King of the Amyclwans, but he in turn came up secretly from under with his head, and then with his strong hand struck him under the left temple and fell on his shoulder. Th en th e dark blood poured out rapidly from his gaping temple ; and with his left hand he struck his mouth, and the thickset teeth rattled ; while he kept maiming his face with ever sharper blows, until he had smashed his cheeks; beat then all on the ground he fell senseless, and l i fted up both hands at once as renouncing the victory, for he was nigh unto death. "To him, thou wast victor, 0 boxer Pollux ; thou didst nothing madly violent."
