ATTEMPT ♦T MURDER, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—To - day, at twelve o'clock at noon, a man of the name of Woodward, a joiner, resid ing at \Yellow in the north of this county (Nottingham shire), was brought in the custody of the police to the county gaol, charged with having attempted to murder a female, of the name of Hind, a widow, with whom he had been cohabiting. `Yellow is a village about ten miles from Worksop, and the same distance from the towns of Newark and Southwell, and it appears that for s length of time past the prisoner has been separate from his wife, and has resided with his unfortunate victim. The horrible deed was evidently a premeditated act, from the circumstance of his taking with him, on going to bed on Monday night last, a knife, which he placed under his pillow. At half-past six o'clock in the morning the man and woman quarrelled, when the wretch took the knife and inflicted upon the poor woman a dreadful wound in her throat, which extended several Inches from right to left. She instantly jumped out of •betl, and ran down stairs screaming" Murder," the blood :at the same time flowing profusely from the wound. `i•he wretch ran away half undressed, and without any stockings on his legs. The villagers being alarmed, a s.urgron was sent for, who sewed up the wound, and a pursuit of the murderer ensued, but for some time with out success. On Friday morning, however, he was dis covered crawling from under a hay-stack, in his own parish, almost famished. He was immediately appre hended, and conveyed before the Rev. E. Dawkins, a magistrate of the county. The woman being alive, but without hope of recovery, the man has been committed to the county gaol for further examination. To elude detection by his footsteps being traced, it has since been found that the artful villain had walked backwards into the stack yard, so that the marks of his feet upon the soft soil did not betray his hiding place. Since his apprehension, he has admitted that he went into Willow Wood, and lay there a day and a night, with a view of attacking a farmer, whom he knew to be in the habit of passing through it, and his intention was to rob and murder him; the farmer, however, having heard of the attempt to murder, and knowing that Woodward was a bad character, having fears lest he should meet in the wood, actually went a long way round, instead of going through the wood, and thereby, no doubt, saved himself from a brutal attack. APPREHENSION OF SUSPECTED BURGLARS AT WooLwicii.—During the past week, various acts of burglary have taken place at Woolwich, and hitherto the police have been unable to obtain any clue to the thieves. Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock, police-constable Gladwin, as active officer of the R division, on duty in plain clothes, observed two suspicious looking men near the shop of Mr. Dixon, a furniture broker, in POWi3- street. The better to observe their movements, and without being himself per ceived, Gladwin concealed himself behind the pillar of a shop door opposite, and observed the prisoners trying to force the door. The prisoners, however, had a fellow with them who acted as " touter" or scout, and this man, on observing the constable, gave an alarm, and the thieves immediately desisted from their attempts on the house. Gladwin, how ever, perceiving that it was useless to watch the thieves fnrther, immediately darted from his hiding place, and seizing two of them by the collar, took them into custody. The third ran off. Gladwin having lodged his prisoners safely in the station-house, proceeded in search of the third, whom he succeeded in capturing. The prisoners gave the names of Tapner, Reed, and Mumford. On their persons were found a number of skeleton keys of various sizes, calculated to pick , any of the common locks. A small crowbar was also found upon one of them. There is great reason to believe they form part of a gang which has carried on very extensive de predations in that neighbourhood. WIGTOW ri SHIRE POLITICS.--A correspondent in Wigtownshire says, " An active canvass has been carried on in this county by Mr. Robert Stewart, eldest son of Stair Stewart, Beg., of Glasserton, for the representation of the shire' on the Conservative interest. This has induced our present Member, Cap'. Dalrymple, to issue an address to his constituents, in which he declares for the t• tal and imme diate repeal of the corn laws. He has also been making per sonal calls. As Sir Robert Peel's return to power will, in all probability, lengthen the existence of the present Parliament, this premature canvassing will doubtless cease. We hear that it is the intention of Sir Andrew Agnew, Bart., of Loch naw, to oppose Sir John M‘Taggart, M.P., at the next elec tion for the Wig:own district of burghs; but we do not know whether the rumour by correct or not.—Dumfries Courier. IMPROVEMENTS AT ROSENEATIL—Sir James J. R. Mackenzie had this year laid down 30,000 yards of drains with stones, and the number is daily increasing. The new garden, which is in an excellent situation, and has a good exposure, together with the pleasure-grounds, which are tastefully laid out, will, when completed, make Roseneath one of the most delightful seats in the north.—/nresiness C.,urier. THE FULHAM WATERMEN.-0n Monday the Bishop of London gave his annual dinner to the waternten of Ful haw. At one o'clock in the afternoon they sat down to a repast of good old English fare, consisting of roast and boiled beef, mutton, and plum-pudding, together with a plentiful supply of excellent ale. The entertainment was set out in the hall of the Bishop's residence at Fulham, and his Lordship honoured his guests by saying " grace." The custom is said t> have originatel front a former Bishop's son having been saved from drowning on this day. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—THREE LIVES LOST. is with much regret we state that of two market-boats which left Falmouth on Saturday afternoon last, on their re turn to Porthalla, St. Keverne, one of them unfortunately went down in a squall, and the three men in it were drowned. The accident happened in Falmouth Bay, no great distance from Bendennis. The deceased were named Sampson Ilill, and William and John Tripcony, brothers. Hill was about to be married. John Tripcony was unmarried, but his brother has left a widow and two children to bewail his lo , s. When the boat missed its companion, it was immediately put about, but nothing of the lost boat could be seen but a loose spar or two. Two women were in the boat which weathered the squall, who became so alarmed that they were landed at Crab Quay, on Pendinnis, and they walked home. This me lancholy accident has cast a gloom over the neighbourhood in which the deceased resided, where they were greatly re spected. Efforts have been made to raise the boat and find the bodies, but hitherto without success.— Falmouth Packet. - RAILWAYS AND CoasTEas.—The South Western Railway was for the first time made use of yesterday for the conveyance of an entire ship's cargo from Southampton to London. It consisted of the first portion of a freight of 1,100 boxes of oranges, brought by the Eleanor, from Fayal, and consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, in Monument-yard, By this means not only has the fruit been obtained in a state more suitable to the market, but a great saving in the outlay of conveyance has been effected; and having discharged her cargo, the Eleanor will return for a fresh freight on Friday, instead of being detained for a fortnight or three weeks, as would have been the case had she come round to the port of London. It has been estimated that the expenses of nearly 601. are incurred on the voyage to and from Southampton and London for a vessel of 100 tons burthen, which may be avoided by discharging her cargo at the former port. By the contract the cases will be delivered at one charge from Southampton and the terminus at Vauxhall to Monument yard, and altogether the saving by this mode of conveyance will average less by thirty shillings per ton than the general charge of London freight. The majority of vessels bringing fruit to the London market arrive at seasons the most de- structive to shipping, and the records of Lloyd's show no less than 1,375 casualties to have occurred in the navigation between the Isle of Wight and the river Thames in the seven years from 1837 to 1843, of which 499 lost anchors and cables, 560 got aground but were recovered, 260 were en tirely wrecked, the crews and passengers being saved, whilst 56 vessels were totally lost with all or several of the crews and passengers. BURGLARIES AT WlNDBoa.—Between Saturday night and early on Sunday morning, three houses were broken into i n th e t own of Windsor, and various property carried away by the burglars from each. There is very little doubt, front the back premises of the e being contiguous, divided only by brick walls, that tffe - three robberies were committed by the same parties, who were evidently well ac quainted with the localities. The house of Mr. Alderman Tebbott, in Sheet--street, which was entered by forcing open the shutters of the kitchen window, was plundered of a variety of articles, consisting of silver table, salt, and tea spoons, silver tops from off dinner castors, gold and silver moneys, &c. There is no doubt if the thieves had not been disturbed by Mrs. Tebbott, who, hearing a noise in the house, get up and opened the window to call the police, a vast quan tity of valuable articles of plate which was in the drawing ro&n weuld have been carried off: The house of Mrs. Seeker, a widow lady, resit:ling in Park-street, was plundered of a watch and other property - ; and also the house of i%liss Ilaines, of Sheet-street, adjoining Mr. Tebbott's. The robberies are sueeoeed to have been committed by Windsor thieves. UHF. RECENT FLEE AND Loss OF TAFF. AT PAD- DiNG, roN.—On Monday, at a late hour Mr. Wakley, l,el an inquest at the Lord Ilill, North-wharf-road, near t terininni of the Great Western Railway, on the bodies of Jolla Wain, bricklayer's carter, aged 24 years, and Mary Ana, his wife, aged 21, who unhappily perished in the recent calamitous tire in Cambridge -place, Junction -read, Pad - 4ington. It appears that deceased w as carter to Messrs. chas. Bell had brickmakers, Sou th - wharf, P a ddi ngton. The jury having been duly sworn, proceeded* to view the bodies, which lay at the bone-house adjoining Paddington Church, situated on the green in the Harrow -road. Th ey preeented a sad spectacle, the extremities beiag consumed, and the whole of toe tissue of their frame being materially injured by the action of the fire. Upon the return of the cry, the first witness called was Mrs. Eliza beth Pryer, laundrywoman, 23, Cambridge-place, Grand du:lesion-road, who deposed that she went to bed shortly after eleven o'clock, on the night of Friday last, and that at that hour she left a few lucifers upon the top of the save, and a quantity of clothes in the room. Soon after one o'eloek she was alarmed by cries of " Fire," and instantly she get out of bed and called as loud as she was able to the other p .mons on the premises. She thou ht this hail the effect of arousing them, and, upon inquiry, was considered all were out of the building,w telt, in a s h or t ti me was on fire from the bottom to the to , several neighb oursto She screamed o u t, an d t hi s b roug h t ter aid, and through them the furniture and effects in the lowe r part of the premises were removed t o paces of safety.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE PRATT AND ROME. These bankrupts, who carried on business as builders, at Addison-road and Notting-bill, came up to pass their last examination. Mr. LEE now applied, on behalf of the petitioning creditor, in respect of the proof, it having been doubted at the last meeting whether it had been admitted. Mr. Lee now said that he had ascertained that the proof was signed by the registrar and official assignee, but not by the Commissioner ; and one of the bills of exchange was missing, which had, it appeared, in the confusion of so many cases, been handed over to some person in Court, and had travelled about for some time till it again reached his (Mr. Lee's) hands, some time after. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, sari that he had no doubt of the petitioning creditor having been sworn as he went through the list. Mr. LEE suggested that the petitioning creditor should be sworn to the fact. Mr. Lincoln was then sworn. He said he verily be lieved that he was, but was not confident. The proof was admitted. The bankrupts were not prepared with their accounts, and excused, on the ground that there had been a fire on their premises, which had burnt some of the books, and, therefore, they had to obtain accounts from dif ferent persons. Mr. LEE said that bankrupts could not compel the de livery of accounts by creditors, but that the Court would, if necessary, call upon them to be examined. The Learned COMMISSIONER directed that-the accounts should be made up by the accountant from the statements of the bankrui t, to be filed within a fortnight, the exami nation being adjourned for one month. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) BANK NOTE ROBBERY.— Charles Bowen and George Lake, described in the calendar as waiters, on the open ing of the Court this morning, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing 15 bank notes of the value of 1504 tho property of the Rev. William Price Lewis; also John Dancock, likewise described as a waiter, and George Bates, a jeweller, charged with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. Messrs. Bodkin and Ballantine appeared for the prose cution, and Mr. Wilde for the prisoner Lake, and Mr. Payne for Bates. Mr. BODKIN stated the case to the jury, the facts of which are given in the evidence of the following witnesses called by the Learned Gentleman. The Rev. Win. Price Lewis, a clergyman in Wales, with several clerks of the banking-house of Messrs. Glynn and Co., proved that the former, the prosecutor, on the 28th of November last, cashed a cheque at the banking-house named, for 1501. On Mr. Lewis return ing to his apartments in the Trafalgar Hotel, Charing cross, he locked the no tes i n hi s portmanteau, an d went out. On his return at night h e di scovere d on examina tion that his money had been abstracted. Talbot, the h ea d wa i ter at t h e h ote l, was nex t exa mined, and said that after the robbery the prisoner Lake informed him (the witness) that he had been concerned in the robbery, to which he had been instigated by the prisoner Bowen, who, after the robbery, had gone to a person of the name of Woods, a waiter at the Adelaide Hotel, so as to induce Woods to get a friend of his to cash the notes. Bowen afterwards told Lake that Snow (one of the accomplices) had ran off with the whole of the money, upon which Lake said that he now saw he had been brought into trouble, and would have nothing fcr it, and that he was determined to expose the whole matter. Lake aecordingly told witness all the circum stances connected with the robbery, and that it was effected by a false key. Newman, the laundry boy, and several other servant attached to the hotel, were called and examined, in cor roboration of the evidence of the first witness. Abraham . Lyon, a Jew, deposed th a t D ancoc k an d Bates came into his father's clothes-shop, in Union street, Borough, and bought each a coat, for which Bates tendered a 10/. no t e . Th e note produced was the one paid, on which Bates signed his name as James Smith, John-street, Strand, and which was afterwards endorsed by his father's name. Frederick Steven, the barman of a public-house, de posed as to Bates changing a 5Z note late on the same evening ; Dancock was present with him at the time ; and they had some drink together. Charles A. Taffey deposed as to changing another 10/. note on the evening of the 29th, at witness's chop, 21, Union-street, Borough. Bates and Dancock were present, and the former received the change. He signer! his named on the note William Smith. John Goldey, waiter at the Sheridan Knowles Tavern, Brydges-street, said that on the evening of the 30th Dancock changed a 51 note, on which he Wrote " Mel lish and Co., silk dyers, St. Luke's." Bates was drinking along with Dancock at the time. William Neets, publican, 109, Drury-lane, deposed that he received the 51. note from the previous witness on the next morning. The note produced was the one he received. John Stevens, a publican, was examined as to chang ing another note to Dancock early in September. He identified the note produced as the one. Several other witnesses were called to prove the chang ing of several others of the notes, and to identify those produced in Court, as well as Dancock and Bates as the changers of them. The RECORDER, having gone minutely and carefully through the whole of the evidence, left the case in the hands of the jury, who almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Mr. BODKIN said he was instructed by the prosecutor to recommend the prisoner Lake to the merciful consi deration of the Court, on the ground that he believed he had been led into the commission of the offence by the prisoner Bowen. The jury expressed a desire also to recommend Lake to mercy on the same ground. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners had been convicted of a most serious and ag gravated offence, and although he was at all times most anxious to pay attention to any recommendation that came from a jury, yet upon this occasion he felt that his duty to the public would compel him, to a certain extent, to overlook that recommendation in the case of the prisoner Lake. The offence was one of a very ag gravated character. A robbery to a very large amount had been committed in a public hotel, for which the pro prietor was not only civilly responsible, but which was calculated also to do him serious injury, by the alarm and terror which the circumstance of such a robbery being committed would very naturally create in the minds of the public, and particularly those who were in the habit of frequenting his establishment. He trusted that, as the guilty parties in the present instance had been very properly prosecuted to conviction, such a re sult would not follow; but still he was bound to look at all the circumstances of the case, and as the object of punishment was to deter others from the commission of it similar crime, he must take care to pass a sentence Calculated to have such effect. It might be very true that Lake had been induced by Bowen to commit the offence, but it was also clear, that after having been for a considerable time in the service of a kind and indul gent master, that he had very readily entered into a plan to commit a robbery to a very large amount upon one of the guests in his house. Under all the circumstances be felt compelled to order the prisoner Bowen to be trans ported for fifteen years, Lake for ten years, and Dancock and Bates for fourteen years. • THE ALLEGED MURDER ON BOARD THE TORY.—The following is the form on which the charges against Captain Johnston appear on the calendar :—George Johnston, 34, mariner, charged with the wilful murder William Rambert upon the hi g h seas , w ithi n th e jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England ; also for the wilful murder of Thomas Rason upon the high seas, &c.; also for the wilful murder of William Mars upon the high seas, &c. In addition to these charges of murder, there are also twelve indictments against the prisoner for cutting and wounding with intent to murder, which is likewise a capital offence. It is generally understood, that on account of the state of health of the prisoner, and for other reasons, that the trial will not come on at the present sitting of the Court, but that it wy be post poned to the FeLruary sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. FOX and Hemel!, who were souse days ago remanded upon a charge of having conspired with others to obtain goody by means of false referees, were brought up for re-examination before the Lord Mayor yesterday. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoners. Mr. Archer, a traveller for the firm of Capps and Co., I detailed at greater length the statements made by him nt Frid ay l ast relative to the goods obtained from the firm by the prisoners, who gave references as to their respectability which proved to be completely deceptious. Upon his cross-ex - ami witness said that the nation by Mr. Humphreys, the prisoners who passed as partners, had paid 111. upon account, and had given a bill for the rest, which amounted to 201. When the LORD MAYOR desired to see the bill and invoice, the witness in vain searched his pockets for them. He could not find either, though he tried his coat, waistcoat, and trousers' pockets for them, but luckily one was found in one part of the room, and the other trodden under foot in another part. The bill was drawn by the firm, accepted by the prisoner James Fox, and indorsed by a person named Broad, the referee of the prisoners. The concoctors all ran away before the bid became duce The place in which the prisoners car ried on, or rather pretended to carry on bibiness, was Walthamstow, where a shop had been apparently, but not really, opened by them for general trade. The landlord, who did not receive his rent for the premises, Wes present, and couid probably let the Court see a little more of the matter. Humphreys —Then you have received 11/. out of the 301.? Witness—Certainly we have. Mr. Humphreys —Than it appears that you have got the 11/. in cash on thisdealing? Witness—Yes. upon which you may Mr. Humphreys—Andsuey?l. you uvpe please? ? a_ .( bi L l la (Laughter.) W itness—Certainly • but h all the parties ran for 20!., mistake made as to the day a f t all. There has been a They never opened 'the oalfeexatatmhienaptriiosonn, prisoner,. Alfred great many people would be here y a employment of Mr. Alfred Prince, a person t l Tower, the proprietor of a boot andel:lll°y warehouse on Holborn-hill, stated that Fox called at oe the the 14th of November, and a s k e d whether he could credit upon good security. The house agreed to him credit for 151. if he would pay 51. d own; and li:ovxe referred them to a Jew, and brought them a bill accepted by a Mr. Nash for 10/. Witness heard such a character of the parties from the Jew's mother, that the firm gave credit for goods from time to time to the amount of 41/. Fox paid 51. down, and subsequently paid two or three 51. notes, and had goods each time upon the faith of the reference. The bill accepted by Nash was not yet due, and there was another bill in the I hands of the firm, accepted by the Jew and drawn by Fox, for 10/, which likewise was not due. The parties were traced to York-street, Kingsland-road, but they left that address, and their abode could not since be fout.d. The firm to which witness belonged always sent the goods to a house opposite to Shoreditch Church, where he used to see Fox, who said that he had taken a house at Walthamstow, and was going to enter into business there. If, as would probably be the case, the two bills were not taken up, the debt due from the prisoners to the firm would be 401. Several of the goods supplied to Fox were afterwards found at the houses of pawn brokers to whom they had been pledged. John Walker, Wood-street, Walthamstow, cabinet maker, stated that Fox and Hannell went down to Walthamstow in the beginning of November, took a house and shop of a Mr. Pridgeon, in Bridge -street there, and applied to witness to fit up the shop. He did fit it up, and made the charge to Mr. Fox, for he did not know the name of the other prisoner until he saw it in the newspapers. M r . F ox acte d as master, and said the I other was his brother-in-law, and would pay everything and everybody, Two bales of goods arrived while wit ness was fitting up the place. They consisted of trousers and handkerchiefs, and other things of the kind, and witness believed that he might have got the amount of his bill, which was 11. 16s. 2d., in these goods if he pleased, but he thought it unfair to take the goods from new beginners. The shop was never opened at all. Sometimes the shutters were down, but then the door was shut, and it was useless to knock ; and sometimes the door was open, bat then the shutters, or most of them, were up. Witness saw goods removed from the premises. About a fortnight after he fitted up the shop he saw Hannell in the street with a handkerchief full of i shoes. About a month after they disappeared. Charles Geary, of Bridge-street, Southwark, corn dealer, stat e d th a t, th ree mont h s ago , h e was in the employment of Mrs. Bennet, pastry-cook and confec tioner. Fox came about that time and ordered a quan tity of flour, Scotch barley, and split peas, which it was s a t g r r e e e e t, d H should ackne 3 b .. e r paido Hackney-road. d . for Witnessai daily aat applied No foror 2 t h 3 o Char Charles street, s amount - on Saturday night, and on Monday, which was appointed for the discharge of the debt, Fox, who went in the name of Ellis, and was entered in the books in that name, was gone. There was nobody at the address, neither was there anything. The shop was in the general line, and Hamel! served behind the counter. The pawnbrokers were then called. They produced several of the articles supplied by the witnesses to Fox and flannel'. One of the pawnbrokers exhibited a pair of boots, which he said Hannell had pledged, and which were identified by Prince. Hannell—Yes, tis true I pledged them (to the pawn broker), and you gave me a bad half-crown amongst the money.—(A. laugh.) The policeman who apprehended Hannell said that, upon searching the prisoner, he certainly found a bad half-crown in his pocket. Hannell—And that man gave it to me, I swear. Mr. Humphrey (to llannell)—You cannot possibly do yourself any good by such observations. Mr. Thomas Pridgeon, grocer, Walthamstow, stated that Fox took the house in that village from him as a weekly tenant on the 16th of October, and agreed to pay five shillings a week for it. He remained there about ten weeks, and departed without giving notice. Witness had received five weeks' rent. Hannell was generally in the shop. Witness knew that several per sons called to purchase goods, but they could not get in. In fact, in the day nobody was to be seen there at all. The LORD MAYOR said he should remand the prisoners till Wednesday week. The prisoners requested to be informed whether his Lordship would take bail ? The LORD MAYOR—Not less than two good securities to the amount of 250/. each, in each case, and the pri soners themselves in 5001. cad). Mary Barrett, the wife of a man who bore for some years a very good character in the City police force, was charged with having plundered a wine•merchant, over whose premises she and her husband resided, of a quan tity of wine. Ir. Barker, wine-merchant, of Bishopsgate-without, stated that t' 4e prisoner and her husband rented a house over I%.is cellars. Having a suspicion that he was being plundered, he went, accmpanied by a friend, to the hose., and expressed his suspicions to both. They denied that they knew anything about any robbery, but subsequently the wife admitted that she had stolen all the bottles in a case of Madeira, which was Worth, at trade price, the sum of 211, with the exception of one bottle, and that she had effected an entrance into the cellar by taking up the boards of a closet in the floor above. Four bottles of wine were found concealed in the house, and there were found six empty bottles, which she confessed had been emptied on the Sunday night previous. She declared that her husband knew nothing about the robbery. The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had ruined her husband as well us herself, for he had been dismissed from the force, and she must be committed for trial. The wretched woman, who appeared to suffer deeply, and had an infant in her arms, was then committed for Arthur Webb was committed for trial upon the charge of having, in receiving change of a sovereign, substituted a medal of no worth for a half-sovereign, by which manoeuvre he robbed William Wilkins, a green-grocer. The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would oblige by acknowledging the receipt of 101. from Charles Dixon, Esq., of Stanstead-park, and 101. from X. Y. GUILDHALL. Three lads named Kelly, Wheeler, and Spencer, about the age of 18, were brought before Alderman Moon, charged with breaking three windows, belonging to the East London Union, value four shillings. It appeared, from the evidence of the officer of the above union, that the three prisoners applied on Monday night at the gate for a lodging for the night, and as the union had received seven over their number, it was refused them. They then said that if they were not admitted they would break the windows. Upon being again refused, one of them threw a brickbat into the sick ward and broke three windows. He then took them into custody. He said the number admitted nightly in the union was thirty, but they generally took six or eight over their number, and since the refuge at Whitecross street, has been shut up, no less than three times their proper number have applied for admission. Since last year there has been an increase of 200; the num ber admitted this week has been 289, while the same week last year, the number amounted to 89. Alderman MOON asked the officer of the union if they had any greater accommodation for those who applied for a night's lodging in the winter than when in the summer ?—The officer said that as far as rugs were concerned, there was a large number added. Alderman Moor; said they were by law compelled to have a room to receive a larger number of applicants in the winter than in the summer, and as he found they had not the accommodation which was required by law, he should discharge the prisoners. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. • William Benge, aged 16, and Thomas Sha - mblin, aged 14, were charged on suspicion of having stolen a silver spoon found in their possession, under the following circumstances : Police-constable, No. 114 of the E division, stated that about nine on Monday night he saw the prisoners lurk ing about the shop of Mr. Livermore, of Tottenham con rt• road. pawnbroker, and watched them for aconsidrr able time ; at length he observed them hastily moving off; he followed and saw them enter the shop of Mr. Keysir, in Tottenham-court-road, dealer in gold and silver, where they offered the spoon fur sale, on which he took them into custody. lle then went back to Mr. Livermore's shop, and on producing the spoon it was identified as having been stolen from their shop that evening. On his mentioning that he had two lads in his custody charged with strafing it, Mr. Liver more's shopman declined owning the spoons as there was no mark on it, observing that it was not of sufficient value to induce them to pro secute. Mr. MA,LTBY asked if the prisoners were known ? The constable said that the prisoner Benge was charged at this Court with felony on Saturday last, but was discharged for want of evidence. Shamblin was known as an idle, dissolute lad. Mr. MALTBY, after consulting with Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, said that under the circumstances he must discharge the prisoners. —They were accordingly set at large. &Got Wood Ashdown, John Hart, alias Bullock, John 7 howpson, alias Weeks, - Luwren, alias Lawrence, John Belasco, F. Mini George Sampson, J o h n M ason , Frederick Ralph, and Lewis Gerhard, were brought be fore Mr. Maltby, charged by the police with being gam blers. and with having been found in a common gaming house in Cistle street, Leicester-square. The visit, on Saturday night, by. the police, is the second visit of the sort within a short period. Superintendent Lieresford, C division, proved that the police had received information, and that the proper legal steps bad been taken to warrant their entry into the house. About 12 o'clock on Saturday night, he took a number of constables to the house, and, after a short delay, obtained an entrance to an upper room, where the defendants were assembled. There were no gambling implemenis visible, but some dice, cards, and boxes were afterwards found in various parts of the pre mises. The upper room was very difficult of access. The only way of admission was through a sort of trap door, which was secured inside by two strong bolts. Persons wishing to enter the room rang a bell, and if they were known the trap door was lifted up, and they were admitted. Police -sergeants Whall and Gray, proved the appre pension of the prisoners, and stated that they were all known as gamblers. The defendant Lawrence denied this. He said he had only just returned from America. Whall produced a china dice-box which he found in the room. Police -constable Thompson, 47 F, found two dice in the . fire-place and a bank-box. Inspector Par ker found two dice in the yard, one false, and the su perintendent found a pack of cards on the roof of the beer- shop. Police-constable C 178 said he was told by his super intendent to go to the gambling-house in Castle -street, at twelve o'clock, and to see and hear all he could. Wit- ness went on the roof of the house and opened a trap door, which gave him a view of the gaming -room and its inmates. Had been there a very few moments when one of the persons in the room called out " Here's the police coming ; they will be here in a moment, put everything on one side." Witness then saw some one throw a pack of cards on the fire. Another person in the room said, "Let us go out this way," meaning by the window ; but some one answered, "No ; let us burn all the lot, and standpolice lio our e then ground, entere adnd the thenroothey ma and t c o a o n k ' t allhurt present u s.'' The iinto custody. Ashdown, who was supposed to be the proprietor, said he opened the door as soon as summoned to do so by the police. He doubted the possibility of the con stable seeing anything that passed in the room from his place at the trap-door. The defence of Lawrence, Ralph, Neine, Hart, Samp son, Williamson, Gerhard, Ashdown, and Thompson, was that they merely went to the place for a cup of coff,•43 ; Belasco said he went to collect a debt. Three others, who had a lawful excuse - i 4 being in the house, were discharged ; one released on bail did not appear. Mr. MALTBY inflicted a fine on the ten defendants of 40s. each. WESTMINSTER. John Wagon Cusworth, a mechanic, was charged with stealing 51. The acctr,;?d, who was formerly assistant -secretary to an Odd Fellows' Lodge, held at Mr. Hessen's, the Two Chairmen, Dartmouth-street, Westminster, was en trusted with 51. on the 17th of last June, to send to the Loyal Bush Lodge, near Manchester. It was subse quently ascertained that he neglected to remit the money ; and it having been ascertained that he had gone to Liverpool, a warrant was obtained against him at this Court, and he was apprehended on Saturday by Collar, one of the warrant officers. In defence, the prisoner alleged that he had inclosed the 51. note in a letter addressed to the " N. G.," and bent it by post, at the Lodge at Manchester. A solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, asked for a remand, in order that witnesses might be brought from Manchester, to prove that the money had not been remitted. Mr. BOND inquired whether the accused was a member of the society at the time the money was entrusted to him, and having been answered in the affirmative, said that, in his opinion, a great difficulty presented itself in the matter as part of the money, it might be alleged, was prisoner's own, he being one of those who con tributed to the fund. The solicitor thought that that was rather a question for another tribunal than for the magistrate's considera tion. Mr. BOND disagreed with the professional gentleman. It was, he considered, his (the Magistrate's) duty to take care that there was a legal charge against a man before he sent him for trial. The prisoner having, in answer to Mr. Bond's inquiry, said that he could find sureties, Mr. BOND consented to take bail, provided notice wds given, for his appearance in a week. We are requested to acknowledge the receipt of 101. from the Goldsmiths' Company, for the poor-box. MARYLEBONE. Mr. John Douglass, lessee of the Marylebone Theatre, attended before Mr. Rawlinson, with the view of being allowed to make a declaration, under the circumstances below stated:— It appeared that Mr. Dougla:s had purchased car riages of different descriptions, and amongst them was the vehicle well known to most about town as being the property of " Romeo Coates ;" the motto thereon was in Latin, signifying " While I live I'll crow." Romeo's " drag" waF, with a number of others, placed for security and convenience at Mr. Goldspring's, Copland-street, with an understanding that he was to keep them in re pair, and on Wednesday last a distraint for rent was made upon him (Mr. Goldspring). Mr. Douglass, who had in his possession a receipt for all claim that could have legally been made upon him up to the period of the distraint alluded to, obtained the Magistrate's signature to the declaration which had been drawn up, and Mr. Douglass will no doubt, through the manner in which he has proceeded, obtain the property which he claims. WORSHIP-STREET. Georgiana Dempsey, in an advanced state of preg nancy, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with cutting and wounding a young man named John Pitt with a table-knife. It appeared from the statement of the complainant (whose lows jaw and one of his hands were covered with adhesive plaster) that while seated in the tap-room of the Queen's Head, Pitfieldstreet, Hoxton, on Satur day evening, the prisoner abruptly entered the apart ment, and without uttering a word or receiving the slightest provocation, suddenly snatched up a knife from the table, and stabbed at him three times in rapid succession. The first of the blows inflicted a severe gash in his lower lip, and the prisoner then made a thrust at his left breast, the knife completely penetrating through his coat and under garment ; but he succeeded in ward ing off the intended mischief by raising his arm, and received a cut extending across all the fingers of his right hand. The prisoner was then secured by some persons in the room and given into custody, and witness was conducted to the house of Mr. Packer, a neighbour ing st - rgeon, who dressed his wounds, neither of which was, fortunately, of a dangerous character. The prisoner, who was greatly agitated and wept incessantly, said that she had lived for a considerable period with the prosecutor as his wife, but that he sud denly discarded her about three months ago, and, to escape from her importunities, shortly afterwards gave her into custody. Mr. BROUGHTON said that, however much he might feel disposed to compassionate the prisoner's situation, it could not be taken as a justification of the desperate conduct of which she had been guilty, and he must therefore commit her to prison until the additional evi dence necessary to complete the case could be brought forward. LAMBETH. Mr. Kerby, the superintendent, of the Northampton police forge, attended before Mr. Henry, to give s)me facts relative to the prisoner Smith, alias Eales, who had been committed from .this Court on Friday last, on a charge of going to the house of Mr. Hamblin, and by threats, presenting a pistol and dagger, extorting a 101 note. Mr. Kerby stated that Smith, alias Eales, had, in the year 1842, been tried and convicted of a burglary and robbery, near Towcester, and sentenced to ten years' transportation, but had managed to effect his escape from on board one of the hulks off Portsmouth. Besides this, he (Mr. Kerby) held in his hands a warrant for his ap prehension on a charge of a daring highway robbery, but he supposed there would be no use or opportunity of serving it upon him, as the charge upon which he had been committed appeared so conclusive, as to leave very little doubt of his conviction. Mr. HENRY thought it would be desirable, as the pri soner was so notorious a character, that Mr. Kerby, or some other person conversant with the fact, should attend at the trial, and give evidence of his former con viction. Mr. Kerby replied that this should be done. SOUTHWARK. - - - Charlotte Rand, housekeeper in the service of Mr. Wilson, secretary to the Plate-glass Company in Albion place, was charged with r obbi ng h er employer able quantity of prop e rty ; an d ii husband, and a man name d B ra h am , 7ili a mßlackßand, ofna friars-road, a, i a he r co s rn - r s o i td e , r were charged as the receivers. It appeared that the female prisoner had been in the complainant's service about nine months, and of late was su'pected of plundering the house. For the purpose of de tection she was watched on the preceding night, and seen to leave her master's house, and was followed into Seacoal lane in the City, where she was observed to meet Bra ham, and to hand over to him a basket, containing a large quantity of eatables, consisting of bread, butter, meat, and soap, candles, and other articles, which she had taken from her employer's house. On subsequent exa mination of the prisoner's house in Bethnal-green, an immense quantity of articles, also consisting of various kinds of food, together with paper belonging to the Company, was discovered. The female prisoner merely said that the cask of flour found at her house was riot her master's pro perty, arid with respect to the remainder, it was all her husband's. Her husband merely said he was innocent of the offence with which he was charged, and requested that he might be permitted to have an opportunity of employing legal advice. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that it was only reasonable to comply with the prisoner's request, and accordingly remanded all the prisoners until Tuesday next. Charles Perryman and Wm. Harvey were charged with attempting to steal a gold watch from the person of Captain Randall, Holles-street, Cavendish-square, at the execution of Quennell, that morning, at Horsemoncrer lane gaol, a brief account of which appeared in The Sun of 3 esterday. Captain Randall stated that he went to witness the execution of Quennell that morning on the top of Horse monger-lane gaol, and that while he was standing in a position commanding a view of the scaffold, he was soon surrounded by a great number of persons. He had not long taken up the position, which was near the corner of Swan-street, when his attention was excited by observing the prisoners, wbo were in company of two other men, all of whom stood immediately in front of him. They began what is termed " larking" with each other, during which the two prisoners were designedly pushed by their companions against him, and at the moment he felt Per ryman's hand at his lob pocket, attempting to pull his watch out. The latter made three different attempts to obtain possession of the watch, and would unquestion ably have succeeded in his object, had not the chain been twisted tightly round complainant's braces. The com plainant finding that the object of the fellows was to rob him, called out for the police, upon which Harvey ejaculated, " Let's be off, Charley ;" and they were in the act of making their way through the crowd when he (complainant) pointed them out to policeman 272 M, who, with another policeman, managed to take them into custody after a stout resistance, during which Harvey struck 272 M a revere blow on the side of the head. Policeman 27 0 M stated that he attended the execu tion iii plain clothes, and had been for some time watch ing the prisoners, and two other men in their company. That he was standing at a short distance from them at the moment they attempted to rob Captain Randall, and that he observed two of the men (not in custody) inten tionally push the prisoners against the complainant, when P err y man tried to pull the watch out of his pocket. He (th e Po li ceman) imme di ate l y went up, and on securing P erryman, he was struck on the head by the other priso ner , and they were b oth so v i o l ent, and made such resi s t ance, that they wou ld h ave escaped had not some other policemen come up and assisted in taking them into custody. In reply to Mr. Corrneousm, Perryman said he ob. tamed his livelihood by hard work, but he was unable to say for whom or where he was last employed in trade. The other prisoner also asserted that he was obtaining an honest living, but admitted that he had been for some time out of employ, and was latterly assisted by his family. They both declared their innocence of having any intention to rob the complainant, adding, that on the pressure of the crowd before the prison, they were jostled against the gentleman, but that was all. The MAGISTRATE then proceeded to make some in quiries into the characters of the prisoners, and was in formed by Kent, one of the policemen attached to the Court, that Harvey was tried and convicted some time since at the Central Criminal Court and sentenced to be transported, which, however, was afterwards commuted to a lengthened imprisonment. The other prisoner was also known as the associate of thieves. A Mr. Austen stepped forward and stated that he was present at the execution, and stood near the spot where the above attempted robbery took place ; that while his attention was directed towards the scaff.,ld, in a moment his watch was drawn from his pr.cket, but the act was performed so instantaneously, that he had no opportunity of perceiving by whom the robbery was committed. Mr. COTTINGHLM said that it was fortunate for the prisoners they had not succeeded in robbing the com plainant, for if they had, he would assuredly have sent them to the Central Criminal Court, and the sessions being then on, it was probable they would have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to transportation within 48 hours. That men of tneir character, present at such a scene as was exhibited that morning—that of the execution of a fellow-creature for an offence against the laws of his country—should have been found under the very gallows, attempting to commit robbery, showed that they were devoid of all feeling, and only intent upon the object for which they visited the place, namely, plunder, and that such men deserved the sevt rest punishment. That if they persisted in such courses, it was sure to lead to their destruction, and that either transportation or a worse fate would befal them. The magistrate then sentenced the prisoners to three months' imprisonment and hard labour; arid previously to Captain Randall leaving the Court, Mr. Cottingham expressed his disapproval that a gentleman in his situation of life, bearing her Majesty's commission, should have attended such a spectacle as the public execution of an unfor tunate malefactor, and have exposed himself to the con sequences of being robbed by the rabble which usually congregate on such occasions.__ THAMES. Patrick Pigott and John Sullivan coal-whippers, were charged with assaulting George Brown, 164, and Michael Dempsey, 247, police-constables of the K division. Evidence having been received, The prisoners, by the advice of Mr. Pelham, said they should reserve their defence till they got before a jury. Mr. BRODERIP said, according to the evidence, a most cowardly assault had been committed on the policemen in the execution of their duty, and it was too serious a case for him to dispose of summarily. He committed the prisoners, in default of bail, for trial at the sessions. Charles Williams, a seaman, was charged with cut ting and wounding William Hanney, a man-of-war's man, and also assaulting Margaret Heaney, his wife. The case was proved, and ON prisoner was committed for trial for assaulting and wounding Heaney, and also for the assault on his wife. GREEN WI CH. John Wilson, cook on board the ship Masden, of Stockton.upon-Tees, Durham, was charged with stealing a watch, appendages, and eight sovereigns, the property of Captain Stowell, his employer. Sergeant Booth said the prisoner, on giving himself up, made a voluntary confession that he had left the ship in the Pool, and had taken from the master's cabin the watch and eight sovereigns, and that subsequently he was induced to give himself up to the police, as his con duct weighed so heavily on his mind. Witness had since seen the captain, who stated that he missed fifteen sovereigns as well as his watch, &c.; and he had no doubt the prisoner had stolen the whole of it. The captain had promised to be in attendance to prosecute, but had not made his appearance. Mr. JEREMY said, under the circumstances he should remand the prisoner until this day, when the case could be gone into. In the meantime a summons would issue for the captain's attendance. The prisoner was accord ingly remanded. _ _ WANDS WORTH. William Tome, a seaman, was charged before Mr. Paynter with being riotous at the house of Mrs. Webb, a lady residing in Manor-street, Clapham, and also with assaulting the police. Police-constable Tompkins, 119 V, stated that on Sa turday night, at ten o'clock, he found the prisoner in the e' closed premises of Mrs. Webb, in Manor street, and as he refused to go away he took him into custody. The prisoner then resisted him, and twice tried to bite him. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that about a fortnight since Mrs. Webb and her two children came home from India in the ship Madagascar, belonging to the Messrs. Green. He was a seaman on board that vessel, and during the voyage washed 940 pieces for Mrs. Webb.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Webb had promised to pay him on her arrival in England, but all he had as yet received was 10s. He had a wife recently confined now lying dangerously ill, and being out of money he was obliged to trouble the lady. Mr. PAYNTEa said the prisoner had not gone the proper way to get his money, but under the circum stances he would fine him one shilling. HAMMERSMITH. Thomas Atkins and John Smith were brought up in the custody of the police, on the following charge:— It appeared fr.mn the evidence that on the afternoon of Saturday last, as a parochial constable of Paddington was passing along the Bayswater-road, he saw the two prisoners near the Crown Tavern, at the corner of the Junction-road, and determined on watching them. He saw them go into different shops along the road, but without effecting their object, until about half-past five o'clock, they arrived at the shop of Mr. Clarke, a baker, at the corner of Brook-green, when, after looking about them for a minute or two, the prisoner Atkins went into the shop in a stooping posture, while the other prisoner (Smith) kept watch at the door. Leathart, the con stable, then saw Atkins creep round the counter, open a desk, and draw out a till; and immediately went into the shop, and met Atkins as he came round the counter with the till, which contained 7s. 6d. in halfpence, under his arm. Both prisoners were captured. Atkins made no defence, and Smith declared he was not near the place on Saturday afternoon, and knew nothing about the robbery. They were fully committed for trial at the next Mid dlesex sessions. Mary Watts and Ann Harris, two decently-dressed young wemen, were brought up on charge 3 of shoplift. ing.—Both prisoners were fully committed for trial. PERSONS LIABLE TO BE DRAWN FOR THE MILITIA. As it is now certain that a ballot, after the usual manner, will ere long be taken for persons to serve in the Militia, we will briefly state the leading circumstances which render persons liable and non-liable to be drawn • 1. No person under the age of 18, or over the age of 45, is liable whether he has property or not. 2. Any party who has once been drawn cannot be drawn a second time. 3. Any person having two children is exempt, pro vided he is not worth 1001. 4. Any individual having 1001., however large his family may be, is liable to be drawn. If disqualified by lameness, or otherwise, he must find a substitute. 5. Personal disqualifications on the part of individuals not worth 1001., will render them non-liable, if certified to by the sergeant. A number of persons in Ipswich are taking the wise precaution of enrolling themselves in clubs for the purpose of mutual assistance in the providing of sub. stitutes. A London paper contains the following ad ditional information :—" The letters of the Secretary of State for the Rome Department and of the Secre tary of War, leave no doubt of the intentions of the Government as to the enrollment of the militia for immediate service. It must be understood that the militia will net on this occasion be raised by beat of drum, but according to the old system of ballot or proces, which no one above the age of 21 need flatter himself that he can avoid. It appears that of the number at first enrolled in a single district—one-third will he called on for duty for three years, when they will be discharged (each man having the option of volunteering into the line), and will not again be required f.r at least six years. It is understood by those connected with the militia, that Government have not determined upon enrolling that body through any fear of war, but with a view of affording; the Canndas, New Zealand, and other portions of the colonies additional military force." MARKET NE WS.-( YESTERDAY IXAT ma.rexiima. SsarrisnEtx•.—Meadow Hay, 3l lOs to 4! 14s ; Clove, ditto, 41 lOs to 51 Iss ; Oat Straw, 1! 8s to 11 lOs ; Wheat Straw, 11 lOs to 11 13s per load.

A fair average supply, and a sluggish demand. WlirritaiapEL.—Meadow Hay, 31 5s to 41 143; Clover ditto, 4110 s to 5/15s; Oat Straw, I/ 8s to 1/ 10s ; Wheat Straw, 1/ lOs to 1/ I3s per load. Supply good, and trade dull. COLONIAL. The produce markets re-open this day, and from the public sales declared and the decreased stocks, the prices of the lead ing staples are expected to be well supported. Indigo has been in moderate request during the past month ; some parcels, however, to close account sales, have been forced upon the market, but the greater part has been resold (it is said) for exportation to the north of Europe. The advance of 25 to 30 rupees per maund, including a higher rate of exchange paid at Calcutta, will require an advance of about is 6d per lb above our present rates, to save our shippers from loss; yet we find there are eager buyers at such rates without any encouragement from home ; consequently they look for an advance here whatever we may do. In a few days we shall have 14 days later news from Calcutta, when we shall know something more definite about the crop. The quarterly sales are advertised to commence on the 20th inst., and 6,906 chests are already declared, the greater part of which consists of parcels which have been up before, and will most likely be again withdrawn. TALeow.—During the first five months of the past year the price of Tallow gradually declined from 40s 6d to 38s 6d, the holders being desirous to quit their interest in it, and the trade proportionably cautious in buying. In June there was a flight improvement, and 40s to 40s 64 was the quotation, and also in the two following months; in September 41s 6d was the current rate, and this price to 42s prevailed till to wards the e id of December, when it was pretty evident there was a good deal of Tallow wanted to complete the deli very for the end of the year; on the last day 42s 3d t o 42s 641 was currently paid. The delivery from the ware houses for 1845 has exceeded the year 1844 by 15,224 casks, and as the supply of Home Tallow is decidedly short, there is every pn.spect of our having a very good demand for the remainder of the season. It will be observed that the supply from Australia has in creased, but from the accounts received from the Colony, it is probable that the supply this year will be less than in 1845. There is now known to be on the way to London only 731 casks• The supply from Odessa has been short, the quantity now on the way only about 100 casks. From South America the quantity has not reached that of 1844, and as the ports in the River Plate are in a state of blockade, it is not likely we shall have much for some some months; the holders of the stock here ask high prices, and refuse the present rates. There is very little doing in NewY. C. ; 1846 for shipments 43s would be given, but there are no sellers. The price in St. Petersburgh is 115 r, which at 38d ex change, would cost 44s laid down here. All the accounts received from St. Petersburgh, warrant the belief that the supply, both at Odessa and St. Petersburgh, will be short of last season. HEMP.—Clean is at 30s per cwt. TEA. —The market is steady. TOBACCO.—There has been a very steady demand last month, and sales may be estimated at 1,400 hhds. The market continued in nearly the same state as the previous month, and there was no apparent indisposition to effect sales. Purchases of strips have been made with more freedom, and in two or three instances, to some extent influenced, we pre sume, not from any apprehension of a rupture With the United States, as our relations have been looked upon more favourably, but that prices have seen their minimum, and that the comparative short supply we import—being 3,719 hhds and tierces of strips up to the present time, against 6,514 hhds to the corresponding period of 1845—may give a firmer tone to the market, and probably higher rates. In Virginia sales have been 340 hhds, consisting chiefly of old imports; leaf at 3 1 1 4 d to 5 1 Ad, strips at 414 d to 6d. Purchases of the latter, of fair quality for general purposes, have been made at a reduction on former rates, but which were previously too high, compared with other growth. In Kentucky leaf 1 and strips there has been a fair extent of business tran sacted, sales being of leaf 250, and strips 800 hhds, a very large proportion of the latter being of the import of 1844, ord to mid at 414 d to 4 1 1 441, mid to good at 4%d to 4:-Ad, and tine at sd; and for leaf at 3d to 4d. Selections of new strips, chiefly for co l our , h ave b een sold at 5 1 4 d to 5 / ‘d. •In Maryland, a few hogsheads of light have been sold at 9d to 10d. In Havannah leaf a fair extent of business has been done, and in some instances at improved prices, for good and fine qualities, of which there remains very little in the hands of importers; good fillers have also been in demand, but of this description the market is bare. In Havannah Cigars of fine quality and suitable sizes a few limited sales have been effected at steady prices; large, heavy, and ordinary sorts, of which a large proportion in the bands of importers consists, have continued very difficult of sale, either for exporta tion or home use. Manilla Cheroots have been in fair demand at present quotations. In Cuba, the principal business done has been in good qualities, suit able fillers at firm prices. In St. Domingo the only sale during the month was one of about 50 serons of good and fine quality for exportation. In Columbian leaf sales have been less animated, the trade appearing indisposed to increase their stock, from a supposition that the present high prices cannot be maintained. In Amersfoot an improved business has been done, arising from the high prices of of her descrip tions of cigar tobacco. Negrohead and Cavendish have been in fair demand at previous quotations. (From the London New Price Current, of Jan. 6.) Sucian.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed this day. Importers of West India displayed more firmness ; the trade manifested a greater desire to operate, and a good business was transacted in grocery and refining descriptions at prices exhibiting an advance on those current previous to the holidays of 6d. A much larger quantity of all kinds of Sugar would have been disposed of had it not beeu for the stiff rates that were insisted upon. REFINED.—Since our last report the market has presented a firm appearance for Refined Sugar; the demand has been good from the town and country trade,' especially for the low and middling descriptions, the refiners continuing to work with caution, have been enabled to obtain rather higher rates, and Refined is rather cheaper in comparison with Raw Sugar. Pieces have been purchased freely, but no ad vance has occurred in the value ; the supply at present is but a moderate one. In low Bastards little business has been transacted, but the better qualities have met with attention. Treacle has met with a good demand, but better prices are not obtainable. Bonded Crushed Sugar has been purchased with more freedom. There has not been much business done in Dutch Crushes Sugar. Belgium has been purchased with caution : in Loaves made here in bond a good deal has been done, but not at better prices. MATIRITIUS.—This afternoon the trade were eager to operate; at a public sale of 5,365 bags and 226 casks, it was a superior parcel, nearly the whole consisting of middling and good bright grocery descriptions ; the quantity of common Sugar in the sale was unusually small, the whole sold estab lishing an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d to Is per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,070 bags, the chief part of which consisted of white and the better descriptions of yellow; nearly the whole found buyers at and after the sales, but prices gave way 6d to is for white, Is to is 6d for low brown and low yellow, whilst the better kinds of brown and yellow brought an advance of 6d to is per cwt. FOREIGN.—The amount of business transacted by private treaty in brown Brazil has been extremely:limited, although there are sellers at the late considerable decline that has taken place in prices. Of white the only transaction worth noticing is that of a floating cargo of Bahia to be delivered at Trieste at 25s 9d per cwt., which is rather under former rates. Yellow Havannah is dull of sale, and if parcels were to be pressed, former rates could not be obtained. White is neglected, and prices are little better than nominal. Other sorts of Foreign have met with a dull sale. COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was sought after,' but higher rates being asked checked business,and 100 bales at public sale were taken in at 80s for good yellow long berry, sea damaged, first-class 725, second ditto 70s, being above the value. Of Ceylon several parcels were disposed of privately. TEA.—Although the quantity arrived since this day week' has been large, amounting to 17,991 pkgs, still holders have displayed firmness and refrained from offering any at public sale • the trade manifested an increased desire to purchase all descriptions. In Congou a good deal has been done, espe cially in the lower descriptions, and the rates paid are rather, above those previously q uo t e d. P ouc h ong h as b een purc h ase d with increased freedom, and buyers have been compelled to pay stiffer rates. Twankay is wanted, and prices are on the advance. For Hyson there has been a much better demand,' and a slight advance in prices has taken place. Gunpowder has been sold to a fair extent. Of Imperial several parcels have been sold. Young Hyson has been disposed of to a fair extent. Hyson Skin sells more freely. SPICES.—To- day holders of Malabar Pepper were inclined to realise, and two parcels were offered at public sale amount ing to 6,021 bags; the whole found purchasers, but at a de cline on former rates of fully id per lb. Sumatra was only in limited demand, but 60 bags at auction fetched the full value. Nutmegs are not much wanted. RlCE.—There has been an improved demand for Bengal Rice, but not at better prices—low to middling fetching 14s 6d to 15s 6d, and good to fine at 16s to 17s per cwt. Madras has met with more attention, and 13s to 15s 6d per cwt are the rates given. In Java, however, little business has been done. For cleaned Rice, lower rates having been taken, caused buyers to operate more freely—Carolina at 30s to 345, and Patna at 18s to 235. SAGO.—Pearl was purchased with more freedom this after noon, and 60 chests at public sale were sold at full rates, good middling small white bringing 32s to 33s per cwt. CocnninaL—Prices rule firm, and there has been a brisker demand privately; Honduras silvers at 5s 2d to 5s .9d, black 5s 9d to 6s Bd, Mexican silvers 5s to 5s 4d, and black 5s 6d to 6s per lb. MoLassms.—This afternoon 52 puncheons and 35 hhds of Bengal Treacle were submitted to public sale, and taken in at 21s per cwt for thick, but rather foul. WOOL.—For English rather lower rates having been accepted tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and several parcels have been disposed of. In Foreign and Colonial there has, however, been little business transacted, and previous rates cannot be obtained. SlLK.—Holders of Italian submitting to rather lower rates, tempted the trade to operate with more freedom. Piedmont white has been selling at 28s to 30s, and yellows 25s to 30s. In East India the operations have been upon a more extended scale, but at rather lower rates. SPifurrs.—There was a fair quantity of all descriptions of Rum on show to-day. Jamaica was purchased with caution by shippers and the home trade. Holders, however, were unwilling to reduce their prices; common quality we quote 3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s 7d to 38 9d, good to fine 3s 10d to 4a Bd. The market has a dull appearance for Lee ward Island, but there are not sellers of common quality under 9s per gallon proof. Calcutta has been purchased with caution, but prices remain at is Ild to 2s. per gallon proof with certificate. For Demerara the de mand has been only for small parcels. Brandy is still at tracting attention, and prices are on the advance. Geneva for exportation has been sold at 2s to 2s 2d for common quality, and fine for home use 2s 7d to 2s 10d. For English Corn Spirits prices have declined 3d, the quotation being now lOs 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin is not cheaper, but the de mand has been less active. INDIGO.—.There has been little business transacted in any description of East India by the home trade; there has been scarcely any export demand, and those parti2s that are in clined to sell are still compell, d to accept prices 3d to 6d per lb limier those of the last quarterly sale. TAR.—A much better demand has prevailed, but no ad vance has taken place in prices. 2,000 barrels of Stockholm have been disposed of at 15s 3d, and small parcels at 15s 6d to 16s per barrel. In Spirits of Turpentine a good business has been transacted at 63s to 645, and of Rough some parcels have been sold at 13s. per cwt. Some parcels of the latter arrived. . OiLs.—A considerable business has been transacted in Lin seed Oil for home consumption, and prices continue on the ascends ncy : the crushers keep working with caution. Rape Oil has been in good request, and prices keep firm. Cocoa Nut Oil has been purchased with more freedom, and prices are on the ascendancy. For Palm a good demand has 'men experienced, and prices rule firm. Olive Oil is wanted, and several parcels have been disposed of. Of Cod Oil the trade have been tempted to take several par cels in consequence of holders accepting low rates. Seal has been purchased with caution. Southern cannot be quoted higher in price, but a fair amount of business has been transacted privately. Sperm is net offered at any further de cline in prices, and the supply is less than if was, but the trade operate with caution. American Lard Oil has been purchased with caution. GUANO is not to be had upon lower terms, but there has been less business transacted. TALLOW. The trade entertain a favourable opinion towards Russian ; prices continue on the advance. For de livery in the next two months several contracts have been entered into at 43s to 43s 3d per cwt. Town Tallow has been in excellent demand, and r rites are on the ascendancy. Of all other descriptions several parcels have been taken pri vately, and rather higher rates are given. The quantity of Tallow expected to arrive for some time is small, and the stock in second hands is light. = - MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few days ago the attention of the bailiff of Mr. Levin, a gentleman residing near Chichester, was attracted to the sinking-in of the hearth-stone of his cottage. This continued .to such an extent that at last it was necessary to remove the stone altogether, when great horror was excited by the discovery under it of the remains of a full-grown infant child. On further examination, it was proved that the earth had been carefully removed so as to form a perfect grave, and that quick lime had been thrown over the body to hasten destruction, and prevent effluvia. As, however, decomposi tion took place, the earth sank in, and hence the discovery. An inquest was held on the body, and medical testimony was given to the effect that the remains were those of a full grown infant, and that the period of its death, according to all appearances, must have been three or four years. It seems that at that time the cottage was tenanted by a former bailiff; and who, strange to say, had terminated his existence by banging himself in the very cottage where the remains of the child were found, and in whose death, there can be little doubt, he was in some way instrumental. A verdict was re corded of " Found dead."—Brighton Herald. JEWS IN NEW YORK.—The number of Jews in this city has increased, in 24 years , from 500, an d one syna gogue, till they now number 11,000, and nine places of worship. THE NEW WESTMINSTER POLICE•COURT.—The want of necessary accommodation and ordinary comfort is every day more apparent. So severely was the cold felt on Monday in the Court, that Mr. Bond the magistrate, after a few minutes' sitti ng , wa l ked about the upper platform with his great coat and hat on, whilst the clerk beneath, who had no opportunity of keeping himself in motion, was shivering with cold, and rubbing his benumbed hands. The officers and public near the public entrances, which admit terrible draughts, were in a mere pitiable condition, and al ternately availed themselves of every opportunity that pre sented itself to get to the fires in the roo m s adjoining the Court. T o a dd to the discomfort, two of the chimneys smoke so much that it is found necessary to have either the doors or windows open. It is obvious that some alteration must immediately take place in this respect, as it will otherwise be impossible, when the weather becomes more severe, to con duct the public business. THE MILITIA.—It has been announced to the pen sioners, non-commissioned officers, and drummers from the Royal Artillery, who have been recommended for staff ap pointments and to serve in the militia, that they receive their pad as well as the pension they at present receive for past services. This announcement has given great satisfaction, as non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery, on beiug appointed to be master gunners on pay of about 3s. per day, have their pensions included in that amount, although it might be equal to 2s. per day.
