LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The duty on wheat has ad vancrd to 53 per quarter, and on fl air to 3s per barrel. There is no other change this week in the duties. Since Tuesday we have had heavy arrivals of grain and flour, and at yesterday's market there was a large show of samples. Tne, attendance of millers and dealers was good, but their operations were moderate, and the prices of a heat and flour were scarcely so good as on Tuesday. Choice Philadelphia flour sold at 29s 6d, and Western Canal 30s to 30s 61 per barrel. Oats declined id per bushel, and oatmeal 6d per load. Barley, peas, and beans were unchanged. There was less inquiry for Indian corn yesterday than for several market days, and o h d h2nuG a saoro y sgtaoeptr t ddei eabhnsrdeea been bne e la odalfl fel agly i s s ; aalinyn n amnngce o s e. t prices were rather easier.

At Stourbridge market yesterday business was brisk, and last quotations were fully supported. The demand for barley was on the increase, and may he quoted at is per quarter higher. Oats also inquired after, and beans in request at former rates. Stratford-on-Avon market yesterday was well at tended, and the supply of most descriptions of grain was moderate. Old English wheat sold at the rates of that day se'nnight, more money was in some instances asked, but in few transactions was it obtained. Barley and other grain remained as before. Wolverhampton market was well supplied, and wheat firmly maintained its price, but without any advance. Inferior descriptions of wheat slow of sale. COLCHESTER, Ocr. 28.—1 n all the markets in this district of the kingdom during the week prices have been firm, and in some cases there has been an advance. In our market to-day the supply was not large, as the morning being fine the farmers were anxious to take advantage of it to proceed with wheat sowi n g , which h as been greatly retarded by the weather, and former rates were well supported. The best white wheat was 575; red 44s to 48s. At Chelmsford yesterday . there was a large supply, but in general the condition was bad. White wheat, 54s to 603; red 45s to 545. At Bury barley of all kinds was dearer. Good old oats met with a ready sale. At Woodbridge wheat and barley were advanced is per quarter. At Stowmarket the trade was better for good samples of wheat, but the great bulk was in bad condition. MANCHESTER, OCT. 28. During the week an inani mate feeling has prevailed throughout the trade, and for secondary qualiti es o f oa t mea l and flour lower prices were submitted to; the value of choice descriptions was maintained.

At the Bayswater extremity a stream descending from the Highgate and Hampstead hills flowed into it, thus giving its name (Bayswater) to the suburbs of which it now forms the main sewer. The Serpentine, besides its natural springs, also received the overplus of certain reservoirs, of which one was situated where Trinity Church now stands. Windi ng its way to what is now called Albert-gate, the Serpentine left Hyde-park, and a t l as t empt i ed itself into the Thames, so that however we may dignify thi s water by the name of river, it was th en d e facto, and is n ow d e j ure, part and portion of the Ranelagh sewer. Until 1834 it received the filth of a large district, when the complaints of an increasing population became so loud that a collateral sewer was made under the Bayswater-road, to divert from the Serpentine the refuse of a town ; but the sewer into which i t was diverted not being calculated to carry off this increase of filth, a communication was left between the sewer and the Serpentine under the gothic bridge. About a year since the effluvia from under the arches of this bridge were so offensive, that, to satisfy the just complaints of the inhabitants, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests closed the arches with wooden gates, which commonly remain shut, but are opened after heavy rains to allow the overplus of the sewer to empty itself in the Serpentine. About 1820 the water fall was made, and it acted very creditably till 1834, when the Serpentine ceased to receive its ac customed tribute from the Bayswater sewer. To make up for the deficiency in the supply of water, consequent upon this circumstance, Government con tracted with the Chelsea Waterworks Company, to throw into the pond in front of Kensington Palace a certain quantity of water, which is conducted by pipes to the top of a strange kind of dumb waiter, and after wards dribbles down in just sufficient quantity to dis ' turb the mass of filth by which it is surrounded. The Serpentine loses its supplies lay the constant evapora tion from its surface, and by the immense quantity of It is affirmed that Major-General Sir Dudley Hill, who command s th e Barrackpore Division of the Benga l Army, is about t o exc h ange w i th Major-General Sir Welter Gilbert, commanding the Sirhind Divisive. _..... :;: ~'-- THE SUN, LONDON, MON DAY EITENII) ..... w. • . • RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. considerable damage in her bottom from having got on water removed for watering the parks.

The Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Iluddersfield, have become celebrated throughout the world as the most effica cious medicine ever discovered for ridding the system of all impurities, for opening obstructions, for removing acrimonious and redundant bile (the chief cause of cho lera), and for causing the fluids to flow in a healthy and natural order.

DENVIL This was an action to recover the sum of 101. for board and lodging. The defendant is the well-known actor who has for some years past enjoyed a tolerable share of popularity at some of the best minor theatres, and who, under Mr. Bunn's auspices, made what was considered at the time a successful appearance at Drury lane, in the character of Shylock, and afterwards in Lord Byron's tragedy of Manfred. The plaintiff stated that the debt had been contracted a considerable time, and that the defendant had had an ample opportunity of paying it, having taken a benefit at the Woolwich Theatre, by which no netted nearly 401. His HoNouß said, under those circumstances, much as he regretted it, he had no alternative but to make an order for the defendant's commitment for fourteen days. The defendant, who was absent, subsequently applied to his Honour for some indulgence. His HoNouß regretted that he had no power to rescind his judgment; and the defendant, who made no reply, was placed in the custody of one of the officers of the court, from whence, being unable to raise the money, he was, at the rising of the Court, conducted to durance vile. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (The trial of Mullins concluded from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Several other witnesses were called and examined, for the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by the informer Barrett, but they did not shake his testimony in any material degree. The evidence given by these witnesses was a recapitulation of that which they gave on the trials of Dowling, Fay, Cuffey, and others at the last session. Similar testimony was also given for the purpose of cast ing suspicion upon the evidence given by the approver Powell, and showing that he was not to be believed on his oath, but the testimony of Powell was not shaken in any important circumstance. This closed the case on behalf of the prisoner. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied at some length upon the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of the prisoner, The Court then adjourned for half an hour, and upon its resumption, Mr. Justice MAIILE, at two o'clock, proceeded to sum up the case to the jury, and concluded at three o'clock. The jury retired, and after an absence of an hour and a half, returned into court with a verdict of. Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. Several witnesses gave favourable evidence with re spect to the prisoner's former character. _ . _ _ ..._ Mr. Justice MAITLE postponed passing sentence till Monday morning. The Court then adjourned. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. BuLLocx.) John Jackson, 22, William Warren, 22, described as tailors, and Mary Bwrroess, 23, spinster, were indicted, Jackson for stealing 90 gold pencil. cases and other pro perty, valued at It:ICC the property of John Sheldon, and Warren and Burrows with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The prosecutor, a manufacturer of pencil-cases from the country, stated that about the middle of September he arrived in London, bringing with him the property in question, which were patterns to show his town cus tomers, and requiring to take them round with him in his calls he engaged the prisoner Jackson (of whom he hid received a satisfactory character) to carry the bag and case containing the property. The prisoner re mained with hist for several days and conducted himself very properly. On the 25th of September the prose cutor, in the course of his rounds, had to call upon a cus tomer who occupied the upper part of a house in the Strand. He accordingly went there, accom panied by the prisoner, whom ho left in the passage with the property, and proceeded up stairs, where he remained for about a quarter of an hour, and on his coming down he found that the prisoner had absconded with the case and bag. Ho im mediately proceeded to the police-station and gave in formation, and the result was, that in less than three hours the woman Burrows was apprehended trying to sell one of the pencil-cases, a part of his property; he subsequently saw the remainder in the possession of the police. The rest of the ev'dence went to prove that the woman had pawned one of the pencil-cases within two hours of .he commission of the offence. When at the station she gave a false address, but Sergeant Loom soon succeeded in discovering that she residt , d at a brothel in York • street, Westminster, and upon going there found the prosecutor's case and bag under the bed, the property having been taken out and hidden between the mattrass and the sacking of the bedstead, and the whole of the property, with th, exception of 34 worth, was recovered. The prisoner Jackson managed to escape apprehension until hit Saturday fortnight, when the sergeant, learn ing that he frequented the Yorkshire Stingo, went there and apprehended him. Warren was with him, and he •aid, " You may as well have my pal," pointing to him. Warren immediately ran off, but was pursued and cap tured. -although tripped up - by him;dragged hinitOThe giourid, and detained him there till he was surrounded *rend all chance of escape. Up to the moment of bis appre hension he had not got out of sight of the policeman who first saw him drop the goods. The policeman produced the clock, and the clothes which the prisoner had thrown down, and also son;) ar ticles which were found in the prisoner's pockets t the station-house. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witnesses any question ? The prisoner —No, my Lord. All they say is right, except one thing. They forgot to say that I showed them the two men who gave ne the things to carry for them. William Wheatley, clerk to Mr. Wadham, cif 36, Upper Thames-street, said that he closed the counting house before 7 o'clock on Friday evening, and took the key with him. The clock, and all the other property, were then safe on the premises. In the morning, how ever, he found that the counting-house had been entered and that the clock and other goods belonging to his em ployer had been removed. Mr. Wadham's desk had also been opened. He believed the entrance had been effected with skeleton keys. He did nut knon% the prisoner. The prisoner said he was going home quietly, when two gentlemen stopped him, and offered him a crown to carry the load. He did so until the policeman walked up to him and questioned him about the goods. He then observed that the two gentlemen who had given him the job were running, and it occurred to him that it waf n't all right, whereupon he threw down the goods and ran after the fellows who bad got him into such a hobble.— (Laughter.)—The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. William Thompson, a well-known imposter, was then brought up. The prisoner was seen importuning gentlemen for charity, accompanied by a man who possesses the' ex traordinary knack of appearing to be stone blind, al though with eyes wide open. Ho was telling a story about the poor afflicted object whom he was leading along, when a policeman took hold of him. The blind man was immediately touched by the miraculous agency of the terror of Bridewell, and away he ran, and was soon out of light, leaving the prisoner, whose legs were bandaged so as to appear diseased, to answer for the sins of both. A woman lodging near where Burrows resided de posed to seeing Warren enter the house on the afternoon in question, with a bag, and followed by Jackson carry ing the case. Warren was also proved to have offered one of the pencil-cases for sale, and was a known bad character. The jury found them all Guilty, and they were sen tenced to seven years' transportation. Ann Keen, a smartly attired young woman, deecrihed in the calendar as a widow, was indicted for stealing a watch valued at 101., the property of the Rev: William Henry Wa3ne, in the dwelling-house of Henry Lowe. Mr. Charneek prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended. The facts of the case were proved to be these:—The prosecutor, who resides at Much Wenlock, in Slirc;n shire, being in town last July, went to lodge at No. 14, Surrey-street, Strand, it being a b etrding-house kept by the master of the prisoner. The watch in question had been safe in his portmanteau previously to the rev. ,zeileh.man's !caving,_ which took place on the 19th of that month. On his return home, having occasion for his wateli,.:. he opened his portmanteau and discovered that it had been abstracted. He immediately wrote to town, and subsequently a Captain Foskett came to town about it. It was prisoner's duty to wait upon the lady of the house; and when Mrs. Lowe received the letter the prisoner was interrogated about it, when she declared she bad no knowledge of the robbery, and wished them to believe that it was one of the boarders, whom she mentioned, that had taken it. Mrs. Lowe not having any suspicions of the prisoner she remained in the ser vice until the present month, when Mrs. Lowe having lost a ring, and another of the boarders a valuable fur tippet, she was taxed with the theft, and a policeman being sent for, he proceeded to 12, Neville's-court, Fetter lane, where she used to go, and there, in a box which belonged to her, and was locked, he found the watch, and alsu two rings belonging to Mrs. Lowe, together with the fur tippet. When charged before the magis trate the prisoner made a long statement, to the effect that her mistress had comm itted the robbery, giving hei the watch to take care of, and finding she was likely to be detected, her mistress wished to fix the guilt upon her. Mr. PARNELL said there was no foundation for such a statement, but begged the jury to look mercifully into the case, as it was not the case of a common thief, the prisoner having never attempted to dispose of the pro perty, although with ample opportunity of so doing. The jury found her Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. Mr. BULLOCK said the case was a very bad one, and transported the prisoner for seven years. The prisoner declared that it was quite a mistake in the officer to say he had been begging; and as for the blind man he never had seen him before. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday, William Lcgg, a young man, stated to be a butler in a gentleman's family, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Michael Deady, an officer of the police, upon the charge of having married Dinah Squire Rowe, his former wile being alive. The prosecutrix was evidently in extreme distress of mind, and was obliged to sit during her examination. She said she had known the prisoner about eighteen months, and was married to him at the district church of All Saints, Lambeth, eight months ago. He told her that he was a bachelor, and she had lived with him as his wife till Wednesday last, when she was informed that he had another wife. There was no doubt at a!I of the truth of the accusation, as the woman the prisoner was first married to was ready to come forward. The brother of the prosecutrix stated that the first wife of the prisoner resided near Southampton, and had had three children by him. She had been represented to witness as a woman of excellent character. Witness understood that the prisoner had lately kept a small shop in Leadenhall-street, and that ho had previously been a gentleman's servant. The prisoner said he had noting to state as to the of fence with which ho had been charged, but if it was the Lord Mayor's intention to send him to prison what was he to do about a gentleman's house in Leadenhall•street, in charge of which he had been left, and which was, he believed, likely to be taken on Monday ? The LORD MAYOR said the officers would take care that no mischief should take place on the premises. Deady said, the prisoner stated that he had pro perty upon the premises, and that he wished to got it away. Mr. Goodman (the Lord Mayor's chief clerk), said that no order could be made with respect to the property as bigamy was a felony, and in cases of felony there was a forfeiture of all goods of the delinquent. The prisoner —Mr.• Rowe, the brother of my accuser; wanted me to give him up some property which I have, and I believe it I had agreed to that there would be very little said about the matter. _ The LORD MAYOR—Why you know that we aro well acquainted with your tricks. How often have you been here? The prisoner—l have altered that sort of life, my -Lord, I do assure you. It's no gammon, your Lord ship. My leg is bad, and no mistake. Let the doctor look at it. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, if your leg is in a bad state the doctor shall cure.it in Bridewell. The prisoner was then remanded. Matthew Reilly was charged with having committed a burglary in the house of Mr. Wadham, paper agent, at 36, Upper Thames-street. The prisoner was seen by a policeman, at a little be fore two o'clock in the morning, crossing Old Fish street-hill. He had a heavy bundle under his arm and seemed to be shifting it about suspiciously. Upon being asked by the policemen what he was carrying, he said, " His own property;" but finding that his veracity was doubted, be threw down his burden, a large clock, and a bundle of clothes, and took to his heels in earnest. Tho cry of " Stop thiet 1" was instantly raised, and he joined in it with wonderful zeal, increasing in vociferation as he ran along. The trick would have deceived a new fledged policeman, but as the prisoner was flying across Watling-street, an experienced tactician of the force, who would not be gulled by it, seized him. His trick only enabled him to slip through the hands of one dan gerous customer into those of another. Along he scampered, with the cry of "Stop thief!" behind him and at each side of him, while he bellowed out, " There he is! Stop him—stop him, he has robbed me!" At last his race was completely run, for on turning a corner he ran into the embraces of another of th e force, who, The prisoner —I hope you won't send me there this time. Let me off now, and I'll never come into the city again, either with the lame or the blind. The LORD MAYOR—No; you must go to Bridewell. If you are not fit to be put to hard labour you shall be excused; but if you are, you shall go to work at once.— Committed. CLERKEN WELL. Edward Martin, who was remanded on a charge of having fraudulently obtained 671. from Mrs. Elizabeth Gregory, of Barking, Essex, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, for further examination. Mr. Daniel Gregory, husband of the prosecutrix, who had advanced the prisoner 10. i., under a representation that it was part payment for expenses to obtain posses. sion of an estate at Brentwood, Essex, of Lady Hub bard, to whom his wife was next of kin, and Miss Gre gory, an interesting, intelligent young woman, gave evi dence in confirmation of the evidence for the prosecution. The prisoner, it appeared, had made a proposal of mar riage to Miss Gregory in the event of the estate being obtained for her parents. Mr. TTRWRITT said he should commit the prisoner for trial, and in doing so ho should be happy to remove an impression that the prisoner had effected the ruin of the prosecutrix's daughter. That remark he considered due to her under the trying circumstances. Mr. Sidney thanked his Worship, and suggested an. other remand in order that he might produce necessary evidence from Doctors' Commons and the Lord Chan cellOr's office. The prisoner was then remanded. LAMBETH. Samuel Smith Mickieburgh, a well- dressed and re spectable-looking young man, was placed at the bar on Saturday before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on suspicion Of having wilfully set fire to the premises of Mr. W. H. Fleming, an extensive brewery on Camberwell green,and also with embezzling 1001., the moneys of his late employer. From the statement of Mr. T. B. Fleming, a solicitor and brother to the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. W. H. Fle mine- as confidential clerk at his brewery on Camber welrgreen for eight or nine years, and had been dis charged about- a month. Since his discharge some irregularities had been discovered in the accounts, which led to an investigation, and the result was a discovery that' upwards of 1001. received by the prisoner had not that: properly accounted for. In consequence of this discovery the Messrs. Fleming sent for the pri soner on Friday morning, and, placing before him a list of the sums found to have been irregularly entered on the books, asked him to explain the matter. The pri soner admitted that come of the entries were irregular, but still declared that the whola of the moneys received by him had been regularly paid in. 'The Messrs. Fleming, notwithstanding his assertion, told him at the time they had no doubt he had embezzled moneys to the amount of at least 1001, at the same time they did not wish to take him by surprise, and should allow him to remain at large, and bring a solicitor with him on the following (that) morning to go through a regular ex amination of the accounts, with the view of ascertaining the exact amount of the deficiency. This arrangement having been decided on, the boobs were placed in an iron safe in the counting-house, and locked up in the prisoner's presence. On the same night, or rather at one o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire originated in the counting-house where the books were placed, which led toahe total destruction of the whole of Mr. Flem ing's premises, and the consumption of property amount ing to nearly 3,0001., and also to the burning of two valuable horses. The suspicion entertained against the prisoner arose from the fact of his having been found on the premises shortly after the breaking out of the fire, from the fire itself having occurred at the very place where the books were deposited, and from the benefit he might derive by the destruction of the hooks containing, the false.entries, by which alone his delinquency could be established. The books, however, have escaped destruc tion with the exception of their covers, and the leaves are sufficiently perfect to be examined. Mr. Henry Daace, who succeeded the prisoner in his situation, deposed that between nine and ten o'clock on found everything night before he went round the pre m i ses, and e verything perfectly safe. The co unt i ng - house, he perfectly confident, was without fi re or light, except one Was small light in the brewery. At ab ou t ono o'clock he awoke by a strong smell of fir e , and immediately e a w ft a er s a heard loud knocking at th e f ront door, and of "Fire!" and on getting out of bed found the counting house on fire, but the brewery at that time was free from fire. In reply to a question from the magistrate the wit ness said he had not seen the prisoner at or near the premises on Friday evening or night. Mr. James Brown, landlord of the Tiger public-house, on Camberwell-green' said, erso that on th e n i g h t b efore the prisoner a n d anotherncame to his house a t a b out five minutes before twelve o'clock, and remained at his bar until the cry of " Fire!" was raised. On looking out witaess said he thought it was the school houses that were on fire, but the prisoner said it was the brewery. Henry Tuck Hagan, a cab master, said that about a quarter to twelve o'clock he got on an omnibus at the Elephant and Castle, on which ho found the prisoner. They rode toeether to the Tiger on Camberwell-green, and they both got off the vehicle and remained at the Tiger until the fire was discovered. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, that after leaving the Messrs: Fleming he wrote a letter to his solicitor, but this he subsequently destroyed, and had spent the evening in walking about Islington. He then came to the Elephant and Castle, and got on an omnibus there, as stated by the last witness. Mr. Fleming requested a remand, to give an oppor tunity to have the particulars of the fire inquired into by Mr. Carter, the coroner. _ . Mr. NORTON thought such an inquiry very desirable, and remanded the prisoner for a week. He, however, accepted bail for his attendance, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each. George Groves, a footman in the service of Mrs. Har riett •Kemble, of Tulse-hill, sister-in 'law to the late Member, for Surrey, was brought up on 'a charge of steal ing and pawning upwards of 1001. worth of plate, the property of his mistress, and afterwards absconding, on Monday last.—The prisoner was remanded.

Having caught your sea-serpent, we should recommend that h e be perfectly trained for drawing line-of-battle ships, while those of a tender age might be usefully employed in tug ging barges down the canals. In canals the Sea-ser pent would above all be invaluable. By using ani mals as suggested, we should obtain the security and safety of barge navigation with more than the swiftness of steam. The Sea -serpent would not destroy the banks —an evil vrhWi has hitherto made steam.navigation impossible on cana l s; an d t h e on l y inconvenience that could possibly arise would be that of a stray passe nger being occasionally snapped up by the infuriated brute.
