yrONEY MARKET AND • COMMERCIAL iNTELLIGENCIi, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The bills which were kept in reserve in anticipa tion of a reduction in the Bank rate are being brought forward for negotiation, but the demand for accommodation, despite this increase in the Supply of commercial paper, is not very active. The floating capital continues abundant, and the brokers take the best short-dated acceptances at 3-1 and 4 Per cent. The favourable character of the Bank of England return has influenced the course of values at the Stock Exchange, and the markets, although not very animated, present a firmer appearance. The funds have improved i f per cent., and Consols are 89 i for money, and 89i f for the account. Foreign Stocks are also at advanced quotations. Turkish 5 per Cents. have risen and Spanish Passive and the Certificates per cent. The sum of £lBl,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, and there was also a withdrawal of £lO,OOO in sovereigns for Alexandria. The Bank of England return is of a very satisfac tory character, the bullion and reserve of notes hav ing been largely increased, while the other securities have been diminished.

The private accounts have been diminished £176,000, and the Treasury balance has been augmented £BBO,OOO. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been a very limited amount of business transacted. Sugar has barely maintained former rates, and refined goods generally are a shade cheaper. Coffee has been in moderate request, at rather easier rates. In rice operations have been retarded by the high rates de manded by holders, while tallow has been dull, and prices generally exhibit a downward tendency. The Bremen has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of £14,400. The traffic for the week ending August 25, 1866, on the Eastern Bengal. Railway was £2,289 ; for the corresponding week in 1865 the receipts were £2,093. There has been a meeting to-day of the Standard Bank of British Africa, at which the report of the directors stated that the profits for the half-year e nding 30th June last were £23,473, which they recommended should be disposed of as follows : To rebate on bills discounted, £7,371 ; to bad debt account for estimated depreciation of securities to 314 December, 1865, £3,106 ; to preliminary ex- P en see, £250 ; to amalgamation account, £Bl5 ; to reserve fund, £l,OOO ; to interim dividend, ; and to be carried forward, £1,182. The report also stated that the directors were con- N ineed that the establishment had passed through t he difficulties of 1864-65, and that if in the course of realisi ng securities any further allowances have yet to be made for bad debts, there is on the other hand aoo low reasonable prospect of recoveries on debts valued on former estimates. It must be re ,collected that a time of comparative inaction la 3 followed the excitement and speculation fromr which the bank suffered, but there is i ens eu to hope that as credit at the Cape Th lti P r nves the profits of the bank under the present i,: an ageinent will increase. The bank in London O s , now been placed on a thoroughly independent „,,, 34 , i5, and during the past few months has been en -atv'ed to retire, under discount, its own acceptances th e minimum i n Threadneedle-street. In the c of the discussion, several of the shareholders con sidered th at the capital was too great, an d t h at the number of the banks was too large for the re quirements of the colony. Amalgamations were also s p o ken about, and there was one evident desire to the int erests of the i ns tit u tion. The directors' re , rt was adopted, and the proceedings terminated a very Satisfactory manner. Two O'CLOCK. the ACCOrding to Reuter's telegram from Paris to-day French Ren tes were 68f. 95c. Firm and active. Although business in the market for the English ands is slack there is a continuance of firmness th --.°St unparalleled within the last few years, when ere h as been an absence of speculation and few Ittuvestors to give support to the market. Consols 1 89- 1 I for money, and 89f for the account. v Foreign Stocks there has been a general ad- T i r in prices.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. The trade, both for red and white quali ties, was very quiet ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were well supported. With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. There was a fair demand for most qualities, at full currencies. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at quite late rates. Fine barley ruled firm, and prices were rather on the advance. Inferior qualities met a slow sale, at late prices. Malt was steady, at full quotations. Oats were in moderate supply, and the trade ruled firm, at full• currencies. Beans and peas were firm, at quite late rates. Flour fully supported Monday's quotations. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

Messina lemons of the new crop daily expected. The State of Spain. The Journal des Debats of yesterday says : " The provincial deputations of Spain have just been dissolved, and the municipal councils are to be entirely re newed, although, according to the terms of the law, the renewal ought to be but partial. But the Government has taken upon itself to order otherwise, subject to the ulterior ratifications of the Chambers, for the unanswer able reason that the present composition of the municipal councils is displeasing to it. They were elected at a period when Liberal ideas still possessed some influence ; but in the present state of public opinion this influence, in the language of the report presented to the Queen, has become quite intolerable.' What is now wanted are municipal councillors endowed with the 'habit of discipline,' and in no way disposed to exaggerate the importance of their humble functions. Modest men may certainly be found, but as, after all, one cannot be certain of anything, and as the strongest heads may be affected by pride, it is intended to restrict by a law the functions of the municipal councils and of the provincial deputations. The Government announced that it would forthwith adopt new measures for replacing society upon its proper bases. The law in question is probably one of those measures, and we see, moreover, that, if it has seriously set about saving society, it does not falter in the task. Tronsportation continues without intermission. Fernando Po receives daily fresh exiles, who are sent there to perish from yellow fever ; the prisons are overflowing with ruined persons, who are kept in imprisonment without reason being assigned, and if absolutely every one is not arrested—if there_still re mains some inhabitants of Madrid at liberty, the reason is that the prisons are full, and that there is no room for other victims. But from time to time vacancies do occur, which are soon supplied. It is, therefore, only a matter of patience, and the turn of all will come. The Narvaez Cabinet re - establishes public tranquillity and consolidates order in Spain nearly after the fashion of the 1 3 1 .1Ssin1 3 in the kingdom of Poland."

Highway Robbery at King's Cross. At the Clerkenwell Police-court, yesterday, George Main, aged 30, who described himself as a traveller, having no fixed place of abode, and William White, aged 37, apolisher, of Liverpool-road, Islington, were charged, More Mr. Bar ker, with feloniously assaulting and stealing from the per soa of Mr. James Thomas Swallow, auctioneer and toy and fancy dealer, of Market-place, Peterborough, a purse con taining £2B 10s., his property, at King's-cross. . Mr. Nutt, solicitor, of Penchurch-street, City, prosecuted. The prosecutor, who was so ill and weak from the effects of the prisoners' violence that he had to be accommodated with a seat, said—l am an auctioneer, and carry on business at Market-place, Peterborough. I came to London on Tues day afternoon on business, and last evening went to King's cross rail way station fur the purpose of returning hoine, aad had placed my bag and overcoat in the carriage. 'I had about half an hour to wait before the train started, and went out of the station for the purpose of smoking. 1 went to the " Victoria" Tavern and had a glass of pale ale. I went to the cab entrance of the station, and when I was speaking to the porter a female came up, and having over heard what I was saying to the porter, she said, "Are you going to Glasgow ?" I said, "No ; lam going by the Edin burgh mail." She said, " I am from Glasgow ; I should like to go there ;" and I said, "You had betterv . ," and I walked on to the other side of the road, to where," „Some buildings are being pulled down. I was just in the act of crossing the road when the same woman came up and said, "I should like to go to Glasgow," when I said, " Go away, woman ; don't bother me." The very moment I said that the two pri soners came up, and White said, "Do you know where Mr. Johnson lives about here ?" I said, " No, I am an entire stranger;" and then. he struck me with au umbrella he had in his right hand:on the right side of the face and h e ad.. Then the prisoner Main came up, and I received another blow on the left side of the face, but from whom I cannot say. There was no one there but the two prisoners and the female, and I got the blow from one of the three, who were in a cluster. The second blow hurt me very much and knocked me down, and whilst I was on the ground I felt for my money which I had had a minute orso before, and I found it was gone. Whilst I was down, I said " You vagabonds, I have lost my purse ; you have robbed me. And then White said, " Oh, no, nothing of the sort ; nonsense." I said, " You have," and he laid hold of m e and tried to PreVent me getting up: I pushed him on one side, seeing the other prisoner and the woman running away, and he tried to trip me up, but he did not. I caught the woman and held her and said, "You or the men have robbed me—one of the three have." Upon that I received a blow from some one, but I cannot say from whom. - That blow took my senses away, and when I re covered the man and the woman were gone. The police came up, and as I was speaking to them I saw White on the other side of the road, and I said, "That is the man that knocked me down first." As soon as the police seized him the prisoner Main, who was standing close by, ran off. I did not recognise Mainat first, but when I heard him speak at the police station I was certain that he was the man, though I did not say he knocked me down. I missed from my pocket £2B 10s. It was all in gold, in a canvas bag. By the prisoner Main—l can swear that you are the man that assisted the other prisoner in knocking me down. I say so, on my honour. Mr. Alexander (clerk)—lt is not your honour, it is your oath. Witness continued—l cannot say that you hit me. I know you by your speech. I did not know you by your features, for, my good fellow, I did not kiss you. (A laugh.) Mr. Alexander—Answer the question, and do not talk so much. By White—lt was about five mieutes after I had been assaulted that I saw you and gave you into custody. Richard Spratt, a cabdriver, of 2, Ewing-place, Thames bank, Pimlico, said—Last night about nine o'clock I was coming out of the back-way of the Great Northern Railway. I pulled up as soon as I got out of the gates, and I saw 3 men running very fast by me. They stopped at the corner of the street, and the prosecutor spoke to a woman. As I got down to them I saw the prosecutor get up from on the ground, and the two prisoners run off. I can swear to White, and to the best of my belief Main is the other man. The men ran different ways, and the woman walked up Ed ward-street, the same way as I came out. 1 thought it was a strange affair, and the prosecutor came up and said, " The villians have robbed me." I said, "It is a pity you did not call for the police or for assistance, as then the thieves would have been stopped." The 'prose cutor then crossed to speak to a police-sergeant, and whilst speaking to him he said, "What is that ?" point ing to White, who was on the opposite side of the road, and then gave White into custody. When they took him the prisoner Main came up, and the prosecutor [said, " I think that is the other man," on which Main attempted to walk off, but the constable stopped him. lam sure of the prisoner White, because I saw his face as he ran past me. He was wearing a white hat. I did not see Main's face, but to the best of my belief he is the man. Police-Sergeant Geo. Parry, 14 Y, said-1 was passing up the St. Pancrap-road about 9 o'clock last night when I saw the prosecutor leaning against a hoarding very much ex hausted. I asked hint what was the matter. He said he had been knocked down and robbed. He gave me a de scription of the persons, and whilst he was doing so I saw both the prisoners coming close together down the St. Pan eras-road. I called his attention to them, saying " There is a man with a white hat," and I went across and seized White. I did not speak to him nor heard auy one, when he said " I did not rob the gentleman. I have come to see a friend off by the train." At that time the prosecutor came up. A mob collected, and the other prisoner was standing about two yards from me looking on like the other bystanders. The prosecutor looked round and said "There is the other man that robbed me," and then Main immediately made off, pursued by police-constable Wood row. I searched White, who had an umbrella in his pos session. By Mt.in—l saw you and White coining down tho St. Pancras-road together, and I had seen you together about a quarter of an hour before that. You did not run away, but you walked very hurriedly. Mr. Alexander (clerk)—Do you wish to ask the sergeant any more questions ? The prisuner—No. I have nothing further to "axe" him for he is not tolling tho truth. Inspector Fraser, Y division, who watched the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police, said that both the prisoners wore known as companions. Police-sergeant Cook, 8 Y, said that White was a ticket of-leave man, and his sentence would not expire until Christmas next. Mr. Barker committed the prisoners to the Central Cri minal Court for trial.

DISCOVERY OF Two FOGOUS.—Mr. Blight, Mr. T. Cornish, and Mr. Drew, of Penzance, on Friday last discovered, and partly opened, at Treveneage, in St. Hilary, one of the artificial caverns known in this neigh bourhood as "Fogous." All trace of it had been buried time out of mind deep beneath the sbil of a cultivated field, and all recollection of it would have been lost had not the owner of the farm, Mr. Robert Osborne, fortu nately broken a ploughshare against one of the shallower covering-stones some thirty years ago. On that occa sion the offending stone was removed, and, in remov ing it, a cavity was observed below, which impressed itself on Mr. Osborne's memory. Recent archaeological activity in the district made him desire that Treveneage should rival, if not excel, Trove, Chapel Uni, and Castullack. So he put four stout horses into a plough, and drove his furrows deeper and deeper until another covering stone was struck and tho Fogou discovered. It has, thus far, been traced from its commencement--T unroofed for about 28 feet, and then roofed for six feet more. The excavation at present terminates at one of the little doorways or lintelled openings which are found in every Fogou yet known. On the left-hand side close by this door a very small, narrow passage through which it is as much as a middle-sized man can do to creep, leads into a low, arched chamber, cut out of the country, andb r which was never either faced or roo fed. This charn e was about 15 feet long, 12 broad, circular (or rather is every ap elliptic), and peilops 3 } to 4 feet bi g pearance of the continuation of the cave h.lei.e beyond the door way; and arrangements ha ve been made for following it up in the course of the next _ wee k or ton days. It is supposed that the wo rk will be done y by Y Society of Antiquaries; or else by th e Local Society. A spear-head and some pottery, found in the excavations, have already been secured. There seems little doubt that the fogou was either w ithin or immediately outside the old Britis h fort at Treveneage Bekkan, which formerly protected the tinworks and smelting-houses, of which traces exist in the valley below, but which fort some ruthless improver of his estate destroyed long before the present enlightened era. —Cunti:l4 Telegraph, Central Criminal Court---This Day.

The Nord of yesterday has the following remarks upon the fetes which recently took place in Bel gium : " The fetes which have just taken place in Brus sels will have a European recognition. They will induce useful reflections, and strengthen still more the bonds of sympathy and respect which unite all civilised nations with the Belgian people. If indeed there is a spectacle deserving of envy, well calculated to stimulate the noblest instincts, it is that afforded every year by this fine little country of Belgium cele brating always with the same enthusiasm its inde pendence, its institutions, its King, its dynasty, and spending in thesep'acific and thoroughly national fetes what other nations see squandered in arma ments and war expenses. We who for ten years have taken part as impartial though sympathetic spectators in these noble jousts of patriotism, civic virtue, and monarchical sentiments, never see with out ardent pleasure ,this example of pacific tasks, remarkable prosperity, order and calm, given annu-. ally to other nations by the freest nation in the world. A country may therefore be free, very free, even without revolution. It may exercise this liberty without disorder, and preserve it intact while remaining faithful to its King, its princes, and its laws. This political and social problem, the cause of so much criminal aberration among the governed, of so much fatal error among the governing, is solved, and solved to the advan tage of both. Is there, in fact, in Europe at this moment a more prosperous or happier people than the Belgian people, a sovereign more loved, more respected than Leopold 11. ? This year especi ally the solemnity of which we are speaking has had a special significance. In the first place, it succeeded to a period of profound mourning for Belgium and its royal house, and was the date consequently of a new era. For the first time it no longer took place under the auspices of the venerable sovereign for whom the commemoration of this national indepen dence, of which he was the first and most useful sup port, was in some, measure a personal fete. With what sombre predictions, it will beremembered, had not the hostile spirit of some, and the faltering of others, long before surrounded this sad and yet inevitable even tuality. The personification, the support of Belgian independence once dead, Belgium was no longer to exist ; its neighbours would divide it, and the heir to the throne no longer finding in the country the sympathies that had sustained his father in moments of difficulty, would look on powerless at this general break ap, induced by the discord of parties. We shall not be accused of exaggerating one part of the picture at the expense of the other. All those who will read us in Belgium know whether, sonic time before the death of Leopold I. these sinister ru mours, propagated by malevolence, did not circu late as confused apprehensions among the public. What came of them is well known. The fatal moment arrived. Instead cif- being invaded, Belgium was saluted by all the nations of Europe, happy to be able on this sad occasion, to express to her, as well as to her new sovereign, their sentiments of sincere sympathy. Left alone in presence of her prince, and free from all other anxiety, Belgium could then recognise in him all the qualities of wisdom and political intelligence, so necessary even to a constitutional monarch, that Leopold 11. had acquired in the school of his predecessor, and which, by a sentiment of filial deference, he had constantly kept in the back groun d d u ring all his father's reign, only allowing th em t o b e divined by some few who were intimate with hi m . Thus were people and sovereign enabled in a single day to know and esteem each other, a n d thus was concluded between them that moral an d so lemn compact which de fies present snar es , if an y there are, and averts the dangers of the future. The cause of this happy change, the spring of this common movement, the secret of this sudden consolidation of power, follow ing upon a period of anxious uncertainty, are all contained in these words—national sentiment. No where, perhaps, and at no other period of the poli tical life of Belgium, was this sentiment so earnestly manifested as at the death of Leopold 1., doubtless because it had never felt itself so seriously menaced. It was therefore on the occasion of the national fetes that the Belgian people could for the first time since the new reign express before Europe all their legi timate satisfaction and their joy. It was also the first time since the new reign that the neighbours of Belgium had the opportunity of solemnly showing their profound respect for its independence, and of resolutely protesting against numerous and recent imputations. AUSTRIAN POLITENESS. When criticising na tional manners a foreigner must not generalise from the politeness or rudeness which he himself may receive, but notice the behaviour of the natives to each other. Who ever watches the Austrians, without losing sight of this precaution, will discover, firstly, that they are guided by a positive code of civility, whose tacit prescriptions aro as accurately followed as if some Menu or Solon of manners had written them on tables. The first Commandment for bids inequalities of politeness. Thera must be degrees in intimacy, but there can be no degrees in the outer forms of courtesy and homage. In conversation with an obscure and uninteresting person the Austrian will take as much pains to please as when great social or sentimental interests are at stake. The small coin of customary salutations, as expressions of respect, obeisances, apologies for accidental pressure in crowded rooms, and the like, is rigorously ex acted and always paid. When an introduction occurs the parties concerned are willing to listen and look, instead of betraying visible repugnance to the operation, or trying to catch the eye of a friend across the room, or perhaps in London fashion making a sudden wheel and marching off before two phrases have been exchanged. The general tone of manners, particularly with the men, is soft, and might be called too silken by the admirers of the boisterous and categorical method of our own rising generation. There may even be noticed an occasional deficiency in what Swift called " the art of making every reasonable person in the company easy, and being easy ourselves." How ever, seeing that what looks like timidity is often dulness or arrogance, and that most Austrians are either Boeotian or proud, it is curious that shy individuals should be so comparatively rare.—" Good Society in Vienna," in the Cornhill Magazine for November. TRADES' REFORM DEMONSTRATION.—Last night delegates from about 120 of the trades and friendly socie ties of the metropolis assembled at the Whittington Club, Strand, for the purpose of deciding on the time and place for holding the proposed trades' demonstration. Mr. Geo. Potter occupied the chair, and having opened the business of the meeting, the secretary of the Working Men's Asso ciation, under whose auspices the meeting is to be hold, read a report from the committee of that body detailing the progress made iu the movement, which showed that the proposed demonstration had been taken up by the leading trades of the metropolis. The following resolution was adopted :—`• That the demonstration of the London trades and friendly societies in favour of manhood suffrage and the ballot take place on Monday, the 3d of December next, and that the societies walk in procession to the place of meeting." It was also resolved :—" That the demonstra tion take place in the Ashburnham Grounds, Cremorne." A demonstration committee of 30 delegates was then ap pointed, and a finance committee of five delegates. Reso lutions were also agreed to inviting Mr. Beales and the executive council of the League to attend the demonstra tion as a deputation from' the League, and also inviting deputations from the various trades' councils and leading trades in the provinces. It was also resolved that Mr. Bright, M.P., and the metropolitan members be invited to attend the meeting. 100 Ico 100 1u 'Co 531 1 121 f BSi 8 194 liSi 83I_. 5t31 I:3k j a 124 a ; 34 }8 1051 100 100 100 100 all 681 i MANSION-HOUSE. STEALING A Box OF RAlSlNS.—Charles Boyce, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with having a box of raisins in his possession unlawfully. Samuel 'lowbrow said he was an officer employed at the Fresh Wharf, and yesterday about 2 iu the afternoon he was called into ono of the warehouses on the wharf to take charge of a person who was accused of attempting to steal a box of raisins. He saw the prisoner and the box of raisins, which the prisoner said he was told by somebody to carry to Mr. Leask, the broker. He knew the prisoner as being occasionally employed at the wharf, and ho was working there yesterday. • It was also proved in evidence that if the prisoner's statement were true, the name of air. Leask would be written on the side of the box and a book given him with it, which was not the case. The prisonei said that lie Was drunk, and denied that he had any felonious intention, and stated further, that if he had not been interrupted he 'would have delivered the box at Mr. Leask's. • A previous conviction for theft was proved against the prisoner, and he was sentenced to two months'hard labour. EMBEZZLEMENT BT A CLEICK..—Joseph Morris was charged with embezzling divers sums of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Groucutt and Co., iron and coal dealers at Bilston, Staffordshire. Mr. Beard, solicitor, said ho was instructed by the pro secutors to appear on their behalf in this case. The pri soner had been in th 9 employment of the company for 12 years, and had been speciallys employed by Mr. Daniel Groucutt for the last 15 years. He was charged with em bezzling different sums of money, amounting to £ll7, but only one case would be proceeded with to-day, so that ho must ask for a remand. William Race said that he was in the employ of Mr. Thomas Porter, an iron dealer, carrying on business at South Moulton, who was a customer of Mr. Groucutt, and on the lab. July last he paid him a cheque for £3l 19s. 6d. The cheque produced was the one ho gave prisoner, and it was endorsed "Joseph Morris." Mr. Daniel Groucutt said that the prisoner was em ployed amongst other duties in collecting money in London, and he was instructed to pay all accounts he received into a London bank to the credit of the company, whether in cash or in cheques. Ho had an account with Mr. Potter in Juno last, and he had not received either cheque or money fur that amount. The last time ho heard from the prisoner was on the 26th July, and ho came to London on the 4th of August, when he found he had absconded. He had received the letter produced from the prisoner through his wife. (Here the letter was read, and it contained an admission of the prisoner's guilt, together with au expression of the greatest pain and sorrow for having abused the kindness and con fidence with which he had been invariably treated by the witness while in his employ. He attributed his offence to a temporary hallucination produced by distress of mind caused by pecuniary losses arising from speculations.) The prisoner, who had .£5 ss. a week, had done something two years ago, which the witness had overlooked. It further appeared that the prisoner was traced to a lodging-house in the neighbourhood of Bedford-square, where he was living under the name of Scott, and that he was apprehended in the City yesterday. On being told by the officer that he had a warrant against him for embezzlement, he did not deny the charge, and admitted that his name was Joseph Morris. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was re manded till Thursday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING MARKED MONEY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S. —George Williams, a boy in the employ of Mr. George Cotton, of the New Chesterfield Arms, Chapel-street West, Mayfair, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with robbing his employer. Mr. Cotton said that having missed money from his till, and having a suspicion of the prisoner, who was his pot boy, he marked the money he left in the till last night. That morning, while in the kitchen for a minute or two, he heard the clinking of money, and on going to the till missed Hs. Gd. He accused the prisoner of robbing him, but ho denied doing so. After a short time the prisoner took from his pocket 11. s. Gd. of the marked money, and on asking him to give up what be had taken the previous morning, the prisoner went upstairs and fetched 7s. Gd. and handed it to him, the 7s. Gd. having been taken by the prisoner from the till, while his (the prosecutor's) daughter was in the bar parlour. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutor said he took the prisoner into his employ on the recommendation of a cus tomer, a respectable man, who said the prisoner was a good boy. Police-constable Coulson, 216 0, said that on taking the prisoner into custody he admitted taking money from the till twice, but said he had never done so before. Mr. Knox having ascertained that neither of the boy's parents was in attendance, said he should not think of dealing with the case in their absence, and remanded the prisoner. THAMES. AN AMERICAN ON ins TRAVELS.—WiIIiam Turner, a well-dressed youth of 16, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 101 d., the money of James Emms. The prosecutor, a labourer, was sleeping in a room in the Sun Coffee-house last night. It is a common lodging house, and well regulated. Tho beds are separated from each other by wooden partitions. The prisoner was sleep ing in a bed next to the prosecutor. This morning, whil e Emma was lying - on his bed, awake, ho saw a band and arm reach over the Wooden partition, take up his waist coat, and abstract 6d. and 4.1 d. from his pocket. Emms sprung from his bed and seized the hand which contained the money. It was the prisoner's hand, and Emms took his motley from it. Th e prisoner was given into custody, and ho said to Brown, 91 II "That is all I have taken." The prisoner elected to be tried by a magistrate. He was in possession of a purse containing 2s. and a carpet bag pretty well stocked with shirts and clothes, two small books, and a pamphlet. He said, in answer to the magis trate, that his home was in America. He was now on his travels. He came hero to see the country. He had no other business here. lie had only been in England a fort night. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. SINGULAR CHARGE 01: -. 1170BBERIL—Elizabeth Dowsett, aged 46, a charwoman, of No. 29, Denmark-terrace, East Ham, Essex, was charged with stealing £9 Gs. in gold and silver, a fall, two pairs of kid gloves, two pairs of silk stockings, a pair of mohair stockings, a flannel petticoat, and other articles, tho monies and property of Mr. John Clarke, a gentleman residing at No. 95, Camberwell-road, Bow. The prisoner was charing at Mr. Clarke's house on Saturday last, and she prepared the Sunday's dinner and purchased some grocery for Mrs. Clark. The prisoner slept on a couch in the bed room ozcupied by two boys on Saturday night. At 7 o'clock on Sunday morning the prisoner was missing, the front door was open, and the back door unbolted. There was no reason to suppose that any person bad entered the house from without. None of the family had been disturbed. In the course of the night Mrs. Clark missed her purse, contain ing 165., from her dress pocket, and £1 10s. in gold, £4 in silver, and the articles above mentioned had been stolen from a wardrobe and from drawers.
