LANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE. LOSS OF TWO LIVES. i•t, night a catastrophe occurred at the Victoria •-0, by which two lives were lost and many persons ~sly injured. Many exaggerated statements were •elation, and owing to the great confusion which .ied in the neighbourhood it was impossible, until a , iur, to obtain anything like correct particulars. The rollowing account was obtained at ten o'clock last night from parties who were eye-witnesses of the melan choly event, and who were at that time lying in the sur gery of Mr. Sewell, in the New-cut. It appears that during the afternoon an immense num. ber of persons had congregated at the gallery door of the theatre, anxious to see the pantomime, and the instant the place was opened a general rush to the top of the gallery-stairs took place. The consequence was, that in a few seconds the entire stairs were crowded with men, women, and children. . For some time they remained packed together without evincing any riotous disposition, but at length they felt the inconvenience of being so closely wedged together that they could scarcely breathe, and the parties on the upper part of the stairs made an effort to get out, when the weaker portion were thrown down and trampled upon. The of "murder" end " save, oh! save us," at this pe i became most appalling. Those who were at the !,- -)in of the stairs, not liking to lose the position they 1 taken, refused to move an inch backwards. The vd above cried as loud as they were able to those be to let them get down, but without avail, when all of -ridden the pressure from above forced those below --inst the hand-rail, which gave way, and about 30 -ons were thrown down upon the crowd standing were. At that time the clearance of the lower stairs caused those above to descend; a general movement from the top to the lower part of the stairs followed, and two persons were thrown down and trampled upon at the landing, just above the spot where the hand-rail was forced down. One or two men who were on the stairs, on seeing the people fainting from the want of air, handed them down as well as they were able, and they estimated the num ber thus rescued at nearly 30. They were forthwith taken to Mr. Sewell's surgery, when it was fouid that two of the unfortunate sufferers were quite dead. They were both lads, apparently about the ages of fifteen and sixteen. They were forthwith removed to the vaults of St. John's Church, to be identified. The other sufferers were also taken to Mr. Sewell's surgery, and were attended to by That gentlemen, and also by Mr. Brookes and Mr. Fairbrother, two other surgeons living in the vicinity. Every assistance was rendered to the parties, two of whom were sent home, although suffering from severe bruises. Two others, at ten o'clock, were still at Mr. Sewell's ' one suffering from concussion of the brain, a n d i n grea t danger. DESCRIPTION 07 THE DECEASED. A lad, apparently about fifteen years of age, dressed in black coat lined with plaid, black waistcoat, light brown hair, and of fair complexion. A youth. about fourteen years of age, light brown hair, fair complexion, dressed in cord jacket and trousers, red velveteen waist coat, pale French white silk handkerchief, and Blucher boots. LIST OF THE INJURED. Leonard Tutchin, of 33, Causton-street, Regent-street, Westminster, severely injured—lying at Mr. Sewell's surgery. _ Ilenry Frazer, Providence-yard, Vauxhall-bridge road, seriously injured, with concussion of the brain— lying at Mr. Sewell's. - Henry Neat, 97, Whickam-street, Vauxhall—slightly injured, and sent home. George Astell, 3, John's place, White Horse•street— severely injured, and sent home. There were several other persons who were hurt, but they were taken home by their friends. LATEST PARTICULARS. TWELTE o'CeocK.—SinCe&al;;;;;;s written, the boy Leonard Tutchin, who is still lying in Mr. Sewell's surgery, has made a statement, which, it true, goes a great way to criminate one or more persons as having caused the catastrophe. He informed the reporter, and also Mr. Fairbrother, that whilst he was on the stairs, near the money-taker's box, the parties standing near him were amusing themselves by elbowing and squeez ing the persons in advance of them, so as to prevent their moving either backwards or forwards. Not cectent with so doing, they kept up a continued shower of orange-peel and other things until the shouts of the people became quite deafening. He bee.g,ed of the parties to let him pass, as he felt the heat so oppressive, but they refused, and kept pushing him Er:' in one direction and then in another. At length offered one man, whom he says he should know again, eence if he would let him pass, but the only reply he IT:de was the following, " No, you are here, and we shall ge you up as close as we can." He (the lad) then .reamed out murder, when one of the men laid hold of under the arms, and, having lifted him up, threw over the rails on the heads of the people below. 11- fell upon those on the lower landing, when one of them, a lad, cried out, " Oh, I am killed," and never spoke afterwards. He saw the person lying on the floor, with blood coming from his nose, but he was unable to assist hie] in the least, or to help himself*. Some one came and pulled hint off the boy and removed him to that house (Mr. Sewell's). He cannot tell what object the man could have had in throwing him upon the people below, unless it was to injure either them or him. Up to the present time neither of the two bodies lying in the vaults of the church have been identified, although numerous persons, whose children were known to be in the theatre have been to see them. The state of the parties who have been there was pitiable in the extreme. Some of them have beAeged the church doors, and with cries have lamented the untimely loss of their supposed children, and could not be satisfied that they were mis taken until they had seen the bodies. Upon making inquiries at the residences of the other suffarers, it was ascertained that, as far as Henry Neat was concerned, nothing fatal need be apprehended, his injuries consisting of severe bruises, no bones being broken. George Astell was much injured, but not fatally. Henry Sewell was, however, lying in Mr. Sewelra private parlour, still in a very precarious con dition. The other boy, Leonard Tutchin, bad so far ral lied as to be able to sit up and relate the circumstances connected with the occurrence. Mr. Fairbrother, surgeon, of the London•road, who was passing at the moment of the calamity, says, that he has not the least doubt but that the two lads died from suffocation, and not from being precipitated from the upper part of the stairs. The appearance of the mouth, nose, and eyes of each, warrants him in coming to that conclusion. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Sewell, who for several hours had his regular business sus pended, in order that he might attend upon the sufferers, who found a welcome asylum in his private parlour. - The following is a copy of the official report of the disasier furnished by Mr. Fairbrother ; " A terrible catastrophe occurred at the Victoria Theatre last evening, by which two lads lost their lives; and many were seriously injured. " There had been during the afternoon a great num ber of people assembled to obtain an entrance into the gallery of the theatre, and long before the hour of com mencement the stairs were crowded in every part. " According to the best information which can be obtained, there is no doubt that great confusion existed, and many felt so inconvenienced as to be anxious to ob. tain fresh air, but were unable to move from their posi tion. Wedged in, the crowd became unruly, and the weaker portion were thrown down and trmpled on. " At the landing on the staircase the crowd was so great as to cause the death of two boys, and four others were carried to the surgery of Mr. Sewell, in the Lower Marsh, who, conjointly with Mr. Fairbrother and Mr. Brookes, rendered every assistance to the living, two of uhom were sent home, although suffering from severe bruises. One of the others remaining is suffering from concussion of the brain, and is in great danger." SHIPWRECK.—It is our melancholy duty to an nounce the loss of another fine vessel on the hanks at • month of our river, which took place on Wednesday rning last. This vessel is a Prussian bailing from the port of Rostock, and was only launched about six ~ks ago at Memel, from which place she was bound t.• Dundee with a cargo of timber, &c., principally, we behave, for the purpose of being coppered with the view of proceeding for Buenos Ayres. The vessel's name is the Johann Freidrick, and the captain's IL D. Bradhe,r ,, whose propert y she is, and we are sorry to say that not a penny_ of insurance is effected upon her. It was aiuut seven o'clock in the morning when the vessel went on the Elbow End; and there being nothing very remarkab!e in the proper channel of the river, the wind being favourable and several other vessels coming up at the time, conjecture was rife as to what had occa sioned the unfortunate mishap. We may mention that the captain himself blames the pilot, as being unqualified to take charge of his vessel. About four hours after the Johann Freidrick grounded, the crew (fourteen in num ber), including the master and pilot, were taken off by the lite-boat, a very heavy sea breaking over the ship at the time.—Dundee Advertiser. ISLE or MAN.—Dr. Bowring has taken his leave of the inhabitants of the Isle of Man in the following short address:—" Public duty calls me to a distant re gion, where I shall be no longer able to render you those services which, on various occasions, you have been so good as to deem worthy your acceptance. My regret at leaving my native country would be greatly heightened had I not the conviction that you will find advocates quite as able, but certainly none more zealous, to promote your interests, to represent your grievances, to assist in their removal, and generally to advance the happiness and prosperity of the island. I certainly did hope that it would have been my happiness to have seen established among you a representative and responsible legislature; and that the rights and privileges, the pos session of which ought to be every man's inheritance, would ere now have ben secured to you and yours; but that which is delayed is not, therefore, unattainable; and while watching, as I shall watch, with interest and anxiety, the tendencies of the world towards iraprove merit, I shall hope to see the Is!e of Man progressing rapidly in a career of social, commercial, and political advaneement."—Liverpool Mercury. On Thursday afternoon, while a gentleman, the brother of a resident clergyman of this city, was paying a short visit at the house of a relative, in Holywell street, a fly drove up to the door, and four men rushed in, accompanied and directed by the father of the vie seized him by main force, dragged him, notwith star-dim, the agonizing shrieks of hisiwife, into a fly, and conveyed him to the Lunatic Asylum at Ileadington. On Saturday afternoon his wife went to the asylum and demanded her husband's release, when the unfortunate prisoner was taken in a carriage to his own residence in this city. From information we have received no blame attaches to the authorities at the asylum, and, indeed, the unfortunate individual speaks in the highest terms of the treatment he met with there.—Oxord Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Nicholson, a servant in the employment of Mr. Jones, of Mark-lane, wine and spirit merchant, was brcught up in custody of William Edmunds, No. 528, on the charge of having in his possession three bottles of wine and two bottles of brandy, supposed to be stolen. From the statement of the officer, it appeared that about twelve o'clock on Christmas-day he met the pri soner, whom he had known for some time, in Mark lane, and they wished each other a merry Christmas. The prisoner then said he was going to the warehouse to feed the cat, and after that he was to take any letters that had arrived to his master at Hackney, which he thought very bard on such a day. They parted, and some time afterwards he again met the prisoner near the same place, and observed a bottle sticking out of his pocket, upon which he said that he thought he had been feeding himself as well as the cat, and insisted upon seeing the contents of his pockets. The prisoner r h e is master - plied that he bad only two bott les of wine, which Saturday for C hi ef.o h rs tm r a e s as da b y e , but had that he was given unablehiuu to u take them home was out with the cart till late in the evening.

Mr. Jones said he certainly gave the prisoner two bottles to keep the Christmas. Some of the bottles pro duced had the seal cut off, and others were corked in a very hasty manner. There were no marks to identify them, but the affair was one of great suspicion. Last week there was some deficiency in a quantity of brandy which went to a lady, but although inquiry had been made on the subject nothing transpired to cast suspicion on the prisoner. Alderman GIBBS remanded him until Friday, to give the officer an opportunity of making further inquiries. William Morcomb. of 12, Earl-street, John's-row, St. Luke's, and Robert Land, of 74, Britannia-terrace, City road, were placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, under the followin circumstances : Mr. Michael Garrod, of the firm of Kent and Co., of Falcon-street, hardware and brush manufacturers, said he gave the prisoners into custody for having tried to rob his bristle warehouse by means of a false key, made from an impression taken in soap from the proper key. Thos. Felstead, 13, Camera-street, King's road,Chelsea, said that be was a weaver, and had been occasionally em ployed at Messrs. Kent and Co. ' s for some months. A little time back he went into the shop where Morcomb was at work, to see if there was anything for him to do, when that person said he should like to open the door of the overseer's room, and asked him if he could not make a something to effect that object. Witness replied that he could, coinciding in the idea, for the purpose of as certaining what plan was laid for robbing the premises, and who were in it. He called again, a few days after, when he was asked by Morcomb if he bad made it, and receiving a reply in the negative, he was then informed that he need not trouble himself, as Land had taken a pattern in soap, and was going to get a key made. He saw the impression on the soap. In about three days he called again , when Morcomb produced the key, and re quested him to go and try it, to which he consented, with the intention of giving it to the overseer, but he happened to be out at the time. He returned the key without trying it, but Morcomb found it would not do. On Friday last be made another call, when Morcomb said, " I can't make that thing do," adding, " just can't you?" After that they had a quarrel, and thinking he should hear no more about it, he mentioned the affair to another man, who at once informed Mr. Garrod of what had been going on. Mr. M. Garrod said that, on receiving the above infor mation, he at first sent for Land, and told him that if he would give up the key he would let him go. He said that he had not got it. Morcomb was then called down and asked to produce the key, when he stoutly denied all knowledge of it, until confronted with both Land and Felstead, and then he said that if he was allowed to de part he would go and fetch it. He (Mr. Garrod) told Morcomb that if he would tell whole it was to be found he would go himself for it; but he refused to do so, and both prisoners were given into custody. He wished fer a remand, as he was convinced there were more parties implicated in this conspiracy. Alderman GIBBS asked the prisoners if they wished to say anything ? Land—Why the fact is, Felstead was the first person who proposed to rob the premises, and said, " He could make two keys of wire, one to open the door, and the other to lock it. Felstead—No, you were the first who thought of it. Land—You were the proposer. Morcomb declined making any remark. Alderman Giniss remanded them until Thursday. WORSHIP-STREET. Edwin Davis, a man of rather stylish appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having feloniously received a quantity of woollen cloth and numerous articles of haberdashery, the property of Mrs. Catherine Standon, an outfitter at Oxford. It appeared from the evidence that about three months since a young man named Samuel Marshall was engaged by the prosecutrix in the capacity of shopman, and it having been recently discovered that he had carried on a systematic course of robbery almost since the first day he had entered her service, he was given into custody, and subsequently consigned to Oxford gaol to await his trial. Upon searching his papers, a number of letters were discovered amongst them, addressed to him by the prisoner Davis, urging him to transmit to him various articles in clothing, which were particularly specified, and a large parcel, containing a paletot and other property, so directed by Marshall, having been stopped in transitu, Mr. Nicholls, the manager of the establishment, immediately posted to town, and proceeded on Saturday night, with the officers Fitaceerald and Gifford, to the prisoner Davis's hou-e, in Duke-street Spitalfields. Upon asking the prisoner whether he had recently received any parcels from the country, he re plied not, but afterwards acknowledged that several had been sent to him from Oxford, containing various pro perty, no part of which, except a satin scarf, remained in his possession. On searching the house, however, they discovered, besides the scarf is question, which was valued at a guinea, a number of silk and cambric hand kerchiefs, articles of wearing apparel, and a remnant of cloth, the whole of which were identified by Mr. Nicholls as forming part of the property stolen from his em ployer's premises. A large packet of letters was also found, relating to the different consignments, in the handwriting of Marshall, and in answer to correspond ing ones from Davis, which were taken from the former at the time of his apprehension. Amongst the letters in the prisoner's handwriting, addressed to Mar shall, and produced by the foreman, was one ,which, after adverting to a previous proposal to send him some thing for Christmas, proceeded in these words:—" You are poking your kindness again upon me,_ my boy, but I will not tax your generosity so much this time. You write me that you are sticking it into the Oxford trades men. That's right, my boy, keep up your dignity at their expense; gentlemen like yeti can't, of course, be expected to wear shabby clothes. But I'll tell you what you can do for me;"—and the letter then wound up with a request hat he would send him a paletot and other articles, which exactly tallied with the contents of the parcel above referred to as having been intercepted in its course to the prisoner's address in town. A pair of gold shirt-links, valued at a guinea, but which had been pledged by the prisoner Davis for Bs., were produced by the shopman of Mr. Barker, a pawn broker in Heundsditch, and were also identified by Mr. Nicholls, as the property of the prosecutrix. Mr. Pelham, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted that the evidence in identification of the property was of too loose and unsatisfactory a character to justify a committal; but Mr. HA.XMILL considered that the ownership and un lawful possession had been fully established, and there fore ordered the prisoner to be conveyed forthwith to Oxford, in the custody of the officers, to undergo his trial before the local authorities. MARY LEBONE. A young man, who gave his name Thomas Pheny, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having uttered counterfeit coin, and it is supposed that be is connected with others who for some time past have gone about defrauding tradespeople in various parts of the town. It appeared from the evidence which was gone into, that one day last week the prisoner went into the house of Mrs. Humphreys, who keeps a small coffee-shop near the Euston station of the London and North- Western Railway, and there called for a cup of coffee, for which he paid with a piece purporting to be a crown, and which was put away by the poor woman, who was anxious to make up her quarter's rent. A night or two afterwards he had a cup of tea and bread and butter, for which he paid with a coin resemblieg a half-sovereign, and he then received as change 9s. 9d. On Friday night last he came in a different a'tire, and asked for a cup of coffee, which was immediately given to him, and upon this occasion the prosecutrix also gave him change for a half-sovereign, and amongst the silver which she hended to him was three half-crowns. He returned to her one of them which he said was bad, and she gave another in exchange, upon which he went away. She then examined a bag, in which she kept her money, and ascertained that lio f in t ite them were counterfeits. a cro w n On piece and the fournex next day half sovereigns(Saturday) the e r . again attempted to pass off a spurious half-sovereign pris in the same way as before, and he was then given into t ertody. Two of the half-sove oem;roowfn piece were distinctly geends doubttp roducedu t ee g e u prisoner, leagued with an d hima whose companions had n r t traced his till nefarious practices. The prisoner was remandedla Mr. George Well, a THAMES. re spectable-looking man advanced in years, was charged with being concernedhoe l propertyterer with other s naiv h t ssof in stealing four pieces of valuable damask, of Messrs. Druce and Co., the exte nsive up arrested ain the Bazaar, Portman - square. On Thursday week Cobley , named Arment, in Whiteehapel , who had on him an piece of damask, of which he could give no satisfac tory a account. The constable, after much labour, discovered that the damask belonged to Messrs. Druce and Co., who had lost from their stock several other pieces. H also found-that three of these pieces had been sold to M. Jackson, an upholsterer in Shoreditch, at a very low price, and another piece to an upholsterer named Carter, in the Minories; and though the private marks had been cut off they were recognised by the maker as well as by Mr. Tray, who conducts the business for Messrs. Druce. When Arment was at this court on Saturday, Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, who was engaged by Messrs. Druce to conduct the prose cution, said his clients were resolved to institute a strict inquiry into the whole affair. It was then ascertained that Wall had sold one of the pieces for Arment to Jackson, and Cobley arrested him on Sunday last at 42, Charles-street, Hoxton, where he appeared to be living in a very respectable style. He admitted having sold the piece of damask for Arment to Jackson, but as it appeared that he only acted in his THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1848.- professional capacity of a commission agent, he was re leased on his own rccognizances to attend here on Friday next, when Arment will be brought up for final exami nation. James Perry, a mechanic, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged under the following circumstances: — The complainant, James Purcell, residing in Shak spere's-walk, Shadwell, said he was alarmed at a late hour on Christmas night by a man entering his room and pulling him out of bed. As soon as he recovered from the fright he collared the intruder, and asked him who he was and what he wanted, on which the stranger said he was in his own room, and wanted to go to bed. Ho endeavoured to get the man from the room, when a violent struggle ensued, and his night shirt, the only garment he had on, was torn to pieces. The noise brought several persons to the apartment with lights, and the prisoner was secured, but not before he made a desperate resistance. The prisoner said he had been enjoying the festivities of Christmas with his friends, and feeling ill, he left them, with the intention of returning home, and strayed into the complainant's house, the door of which was open, by mistake, he believing it to be his own. He was far gine with liquor at the tim and scarcely knew e hat he was about. _ _ Mr. YARDLEY asked the prisoner where he lived, and he named a street half a mile from Shakspere's- walk ; on which the Magistrate said it was strange indeed he should have committed such a mistake; and although he acquitted him of any intention of committing a felony, he must order him to pay 6s. for the man's shirt he had destroyed, or tube imprisoned for five days. SOUTHIVAIiK. _ _ _ Thomas Webs and William Gee ware brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with highway robbery attended with violence. Mr. Henry Edson, a harness-maker, living in the ♦i cinity of this court, stated that on Sunday night, as he was returning home from the City, while walking along the Southwark• bridge-road, when he came to the corner of Lombard street, leading into the Mint, he was pounced upon by the two prisoners, one of whom (Webb) struck him in the mouth and knocked him down. He (com plainant) recovered himself, and having got upon his legs, he struggled with his assailant, at the same time calling out for help, when a policeman came up and took Webb into custody. The complainant added that he afterwards missed a purse, containing 21. 55., and also a tobacco. box, the former of which he felt in his trousers pocket safe a few minutes before the attack, and also found that the buttons in front of the garment were all torn off. When at the station-house, however, the purse and its contents were discovered between his drawers and trousers, and he thought that during the attack, in his fright to save them, he hurriedly placed them where they were found. At all events, if he had, he had forgotten the circumstance, and that the purse might have been placed in that situation by Webb, when he saw the policeman approach. He further said that the tobacco-box had not been found. Webb, in his defence, said that he and his fellow-pri soner stood up out of the rain on Sunday night, near the corner of Lombard- street, and that while there the com plainant ran against him, and some words having ensued the latter struck him (Webb), and he returned the blow, but that he never attempted to rob him. He added that when the policeman came up, he did not attempt to es cape, knowing he was innocent of any offence. Gee said that he was potma❑ at the Grapes, in Lom bard-street, and was returning home from his employer's house, with Webb, when they stood up out of the rain at the corner of the street. Barton, a policeman, stated that Webb was tried and convicted of felony at the Old Bailey, in 1846. He knew nothing of the other prisoner. A tradesman stood forward in order to give Gee a good character ; but Mr. Seeker remarked that, as he intended to send the case before a jury, it would be of no avail ; but that on the trial it would be of advantage. The prisoners were then committed. CLERKENW ELL. A young man of respectable but very dejected appear ance, who ga%e his name Henry Priss, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged under the following cir cumstances : Police-constable No. 62 G said that yesterday morn ing, at an early hour, he was on duty in St. John street, Clerkenwell, when the prisoner came up, and, accosting him, said that he was very uneasy in his mind, and could not get any rest. He added, that a few weeks ago he picked up a letter in the street, on opening which he found it to contain a Bank post bill for 201. 7.., payable to Mr. Samuel Gardener, residing in the neighbourhood of Brentford. He immediately proceeded to the Bak of England, where it was cashed, and he receipted it in Mr. Gardener's name. He had ever since been squan dering away the money in profligacy, and having spent the whole of it, his mind was seined with compunction, and he determined on delivering himself at once to the police, in order that he might be brought to justice. A clerk from the Issue-office in the Bank of England deposed that the bill was brought to the Bank and paid in on the 20th of November, and had been drawn on the 13th of the same month, and the value was received through Coutts and Co. Mr. Cosmic a►ked the prisoner if he wished to say anything in his defence to the charge? Prisoner- 7 I have nothing at all to say, only that all stated is quite true.—He was then remanded until Monday nezt. WANDSWORTH. Wm. Mayo, a carpenter, in the employ of Mr. D. Nicholson, a builder and contractor at Wandsworth, was charged with stealing, at Ashford, two passenger tickets, of the value of Is. 9d., the property of the South-West ern Railway Company. James Horsford, a ticket-collector at Richmond, proved that on Friday evening the prisoner got out of the five p.Bx. Datchet train, which is first and second only, and presented a third-class ticket from Ashford. He demanded the excess fare, 4d., and the prisoner said he had only paid Is. to the station agent at Ashford, which would be the price of a second• class ticket from that place. After some trouble the prisoner paid the money demanded, and ho was allowed to go about his business, it not being known at that time that a fraud had been committed. Charles Gardiner, the company's policeman at Putney station, stated that on the evening previously mentioned a man, who was now present, alighted from the five P.M. dispatch train, and handed him the ticket produced. which purported to be a third-class ticket from Ashford to Wandsworth. Witness told him the ticket was wrong and there was additional fare to pay, when he said the porter at the Ashford station, who acted for the agent during his absence, had given it him, and he paid ls. Bd. for is, but he got out at Putney because he wanted to call at Fulham. As he was recognised as one of Mr. Nicholson's workmen he was allowed to go, and the ticket was forwarded in due course to the agent at Ash ford. Police-constable Bent, of the V division, who is spe cially employed by the South-Western Company, said the prisoner had been at work at the station at Ashford, and on Friday afternoon, during the absence of the agent, he had sent the porter after some chips, and dur ing his absence bad stolen and stamped the tickets. One was only partially stamped. What led to his detection was taking third-class instead of second. William Field, a labourer, said he worked with the prisoner at Ashford. They left Wandsworth together in the morning, and it was agreed that the prisoner should pay for the money down and up, and he would pay him again in the evening. He found prisoner at the station, who said he had got the tickets, and he received his from him in the train. He did not notice which class it was, but supposed it to be a second. The prisoner, who has the appearance of a respectable man, complained bitterly of his detention in Sudbury station-house from Saturday evening, and said he could explain everything satisfactorily; and having been cau tioned by the magistrate, he said he went into the station and asked th• porter for a time bill, and was told to take one; he did so, and at the same time picked up two tic kets which were lying there, intending to pay the agent for them the next morning, as the agent had on other occasions trusted him. Mr. PAYNTER asked if it was true that the agent had been in the habit of trusting the prisoner? The agent said he had let him have a ticket on on• occasion only, and then he had considerable trouble in getting his money. Mr. PAINTER said the evidence of the porter at Ash. ford station was important, and he should remand the prisoner till Thursday next, but he would take two sure. ties in 101. each, fer his re-appearance on that day. The prisoner, not being provided with bail, was locked up.

In the beginning of the week the weather was mild, but on Wednesday the thermometer descended "fast and furious," and has been at a very low point for the last 48 hours, with a bright sky, and no present indication of change. A week ago everybody expected hat we should this year have a green Christmas ; but, instead of that, there is every prospect that the yule log, the skating, an d th e ot h er etcetara su pposed to be the fittingattendants upon the season, will be called into requisition. Previous to the setting in of the cold, we had some very tempestuous weather, and several dis asters at sea are:reported. On Saturday a fierce storm raged in the North of England and the South of Scot land ; and at Glasgow one or two lives were lost in con sequence. The Banshee, steamer, from Liverpool to Dublin, nearly foundered.—Glouce stershire Chronicle. Preparations are making for the immediate recep tion, in Chesterfield -street, of the Countess of Dun donald and Lord and Lady Cochrane, who attend at the marriage of the Duke de Quiche and Miss Mackinnon.

SUGAR.—The market for Colonial and Foreign has presented a firm aspect since our last report ; supplies have been upon a moderate scale, whereas on the part of exporters and home dealers a willingness has been manifested to make purchases, importers are also sanguine in their expectations as to the future state of the market, as dealers are moderately supplied, whilst consumption continues to be of a satis factory nature. Imports have been to a small extent only since this day week, and for the year are 32,000 tons smaller than in the past one, whilst home trade clearances rather exceed those of that time; for exporta tion thsre is, however, a falling off in deliveries of 13,000, and an increase in the quantity in bond of about 12,000 tons. The purchases made in West India Muscovalo for the three market days were 1,500 hhds and tree at an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt for grocery and best refining kinds, whilst other sorts realised fully former terms; for low to fine brown West India the rates paid are from 32s 6d to 34s 6d, yellow 34s 6d to 425, and grey 33s to 38s 6d per cwt; of fine yellow West India only a limited quantity is yet on offer. REFINED.—For home trade purposes a brisk demand has existed for Refined goods since the issuing of our last Price Current, and an advance in the value is ap parent; the supply is less plentiful, and clearances from the Sugar houses have been upon a large scale; prices yet rule under those current for Dutch made goods, but for low and mid sorts the demand is still the most active; refiners have confidence; some will not sell at present prices. There has been a lively demand for Wet Lumps, and an advance in the value is apparent. In Pit ces sales to some extent have been made, and at better prices, whilst a less quantity is on offer. For Bastards there is a brisker sale, and quotations are on the advance. The sales made in Treacle are to a small extent only, and a willingness shown to sell, as there is an abundant supply. Bonded Crushed Sugar met with only a moderate de mand from exporters, but as the supply is moderate, little variation is apparent in the value. _ _ _ _ _ Matrarritts.—Agood demand has been experienced for both grocery and refining sorts, whilst the rates paid are fully equal to those of this day week; there is also a less quantity on offer; at auction 1,093 bags were sold. EAST INDlA.—Bengal Sugar has been in excellent re quest for home consumption, and the rates paid are fully equal to those current previously, white and grainy kinds meeting with the most attention, and of such there is a smaller quantity on offer: the public sales have comprised 2,911 bags and 162 cases, nearly the whole of which found purchasers. FOREIGN.—The market continues to improve for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar, and supplies are getting smaller. From exporters much inquiry has been ex perienced; home dealers also manifest greater readiness to do business, and several enquiries have existed for refining under bond. Business for all purposes, how ever, has been restricted, in consequence of holders insist ing upon higher rates. By private treaty 3,000 boxes of good yellow llavannah have been sold at 40s, 500 chests of rather better sort at 40s 6d, 2,000 bags China at 15s for fine brown ; these rates are ls 6d to 2s above the lowest point of the market. At public sale 90 cases of Bahia were offered, all damaged, and realised stiff rates. MOLASSES.—There is still only a limited supply of West India at market, and as the supply is brisker holders are enabled to obtain stiffer rates. The value of low to fine is from 14s 6d to 17s 6d, and of Mauritius 13s to 14s. Bengal Treacle is in better request. COFFEE.—The market has still an improving appear ance for West India, and the supply continues to di minish of all sorts; home trade buyers are willing to operate, and to pay further advanced rates; there are many orders executed for good and fine kinds. For East India suited for home trade purposes the market is yet improving, and there is only a limited supply, whilst for exportation sorts trade is brisker, end on the part of holders more firmness is visible. Native Ceylon has been extensively dealt in for home trade purposes, and speculators have been in duced to take several parcels; prices are also on the advance, and rule at 30s to 31s for good and fine ordi nary; the quantity on offer is also limited. Plantation finds a ready sale, and at enhanced rates, whilst the supply of all sorts has become small. TEA —Black is not to be purchased upon lower terms, still all sorts have been operated in with caution, and bid to 7id is the value of low and good ordinary Congou. With Green the market is plentifully supplied, and as there is only a limited de mand, sellers are willing to accept rather lower rates. Pekoe and Scented Teas met with little attention, and can be purchased upon rather lower terms; the supply also far exceeds the wants of dealers. At present no public sale is declared. STICES.—Very little inquiry prevails for Pimento. The demand for Cloves has been steady at former rates. For Nutmegs the demand is limited, and prices tend downwards, as there is a fair stock. For Mace there arefew buyers. Ginger has been dealt in with caution; in the value there is, however, little variation, as supply does latenot g r e a t te l s a . rge. T r he Ti o pr r ice Ci o n f namon the Cassia tign m e s a rk j e s t s l t s iii dulia uncer tain. Black Pepper has been rather more in demand, and 608 bags at auction sold at the full value. SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island Rum the market has an improving appearance; a good business has been con cluded at rather higher rates. East India is wanted, and realises is Sid to is 4d proof, at which the market is firm, and a less quantity is on offer. For Demerara a good demand exists, and stiffer rates are paid, se veral parcels having been sold at 2s to 2s 4d for 30 to 38 per cent over proof. Jamaica has been in fair demand, and there are not sellers generally upon former terms; fine is the most wanted, and of such there is a small sup ply, whilst of other sorts a less quantity is on offer. For Brandy holders display greater firm ness. The value of Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1845, is 5s to 5s 2d; 1846 ditto 4s 81 to 4s 10d; 1847 ditto 3s 9d to 3s lld ; 1848, 3s 4d to 3s 6d; inferior 3s to 3s 4d; Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 8d; Spanish 2s to 2s 4d; and French 50 per cent over 2s to 2s 2d. For Geneva sellers are walling to accept is iod for shipping sort, and 2s 4d to 3s for fine for home use. British made Spirits are not much wanted. _ . . 1.61, •• TALLow.—Russian on the spot is offered at a further decline in prices, still on the part of the home dealers little disposition is evinced to do business. Fine P. Y. holders Candle is ar q e uote dei d sr a o t us 42s to 6d s t e o ll 42 a s ri 9 a d ing per f c r w om t, and an immense stock, whilst deliveries are not much larger than in the former year. Home made is only in moderate request for the time of year; on ac count of an enlarged supply prices continue to rect , de, and rule at 43s net cash. Ot other kinds large parcels have been pressed upon the market, and prices suffered a depression. On Friday at public sale 523 cks of New South Wales were sold at 39s to 42s 3d, low 36s 2d to 38$ 9d; 363 pkgs South American 405 to 42s 3d; three casks North American 26s 9d to 395, and 22 casks 43s 6d per cwt. Rough Fat is now readily offered at 2s 6d per stone of 8 pounds, and is, however, in plentiful supply. _ - Oms.—A . brisk demand has been experienced for Linseed Oil for home consumption, and exporters have been induced to take several parcels. Prices are on the advance, and rule at 22s 3d to 22s 6-i per cwt. There is a greater demand for Rapeseed Oil, whilst holders display firmness. For foreign refined the rates paid are 37s to 383. Palm met with little attention. At public sales 90 tons went at 29s to 30s for good to fine, and ord at 27s 9d. For Cocoa Nut there is a higher market, and prices still tend downwards; the con s u m pti on cont i nues limited. At auction 46 casks were taken in at 34s to 373 for Sydney. Cochin is to be obtained at from 37s to 395, and Ceylon 36s to 38s. Olive is in good demand, still prices do not improve. Lard Oil is not much wanted. Ground Nut is dull of sale at 325. For Fish Oils the market has not a better appearance. Seal has been dealt in with caution. For Cod few buyers are to be met with. Of Southern only small parcels have been sold. For Sperm the market has assumed a quiet aspect, and former rates are not to be obtained, although there is only a moderate supply. Fine Colonial is to be obtained at 841 per tan. A FACT, AND NOT ♦N EXTRACT PROM " PoNcft." —About two years ago the Edinburgh papers were re ceived at the nows'-rooms in Aberdeen at five P.M.on the days of publication. In consequence of an acceleration of the mail which subsequently took place, the,e papers were received at half-past eight P.M. on the same days, and by a further acceleratilla which has been obtained during the last few months the same papers are received at eight o'clock on the following morning I—Fijeshire Journal. MILL, DEC. 26. Messrs. Taylor and Brights' circular states that the apparent snttiiii; in of frost, cad consequent clositig of the ravigation about 0. , middle of last week, appeared likely to impart a little firmness to the trade, but the easterly wind brings forward too large an arrival of ell kinds of grain to render this practicable, and now we have a return of damp raw weather, which will make the condition worse than ever. The bulk of our arrivals are from necessity goirg to granary t , await the near approaching liberation at is duty. We had for this day's mark.l (which was r: ally quite of a holiday cha racter) a fair supply of wheat from the farmera, with a large show of foreign, much of it out of condition, and although offered on apparently attractive terms, the bu siness done was of the most limited character. We quote the market nominally 2s lower. More busineis dAng in the finer qualities of barley, but grinding descriptions are haft to sell. In oats nothing doing. Beans dull sale. Peas quite neglected, Linseed with out alteration. Linseed cakes rather easier to buy. More inquiry for rapeseed at full prices, but few holders. Rape cakes do not attract attention.

The middling qualities of foreign duty paid wheat were 2d to 3d per bushel, and the finer sorts Id to 2d per bushel lower than this day se'nnight. Free flour dull sale, and prices rather easier. There are buyers of bonded wht at and fluor at late quotations, but not much offering. Oats and oatmeal were held firmly. Beans and peas were each easier to purchase. Barley very dull. The demand for Indian corn was very mode rate, without any change in prices. LEEDS, DEC. 26.—We are fairly supplied with grain here to-day. Our millers purchase wheat for their im mediate wants at a decline of is to 2s per qr. Barley sells only slowly, but last week's rates are about main tained. Oats and beans are dull sale, at rather under last week's rates. There was not a very good attend ance of merchants at our cloth halls this morning; and, in consequence of there having been no working day since Saturday, there were no fresh goods in the market. The buyers who attended were very cautious in their purchases. Prices were firm. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, DEC. 23.—The weather has at length undergone a favourable change, the last three days having been frosty with a rising barometer. Should the frost continue, and similar weather be expe rienced on the Continent, so as to interrupt further shipments, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the present downward tendency will be checked. The trade during the present week has ruled exceedingly sluggish, and although no disposition has been manifested to force sales of any article, still, however, to promote business it has been necessary to submit to somewhat easier rates. At our market this morning we had a large show of wheat from the growers, and notwith standing its improved condition, and moderate arrivals coastwise, a clearance could only be effected by making a concession of 2s upon native samples, and is per qr. upon south-country qualities. The arrivals from abroad are chiefly placed in bond, and now and then we hear of a cargo being taken to hold over less the present duty. For flour we experienced a languid inquiry, although a decline of Is per sack would have been conceded in cases where vessels required clearing. Rye nominally unal tered. Ehe best descriptions of malting barley nearly sustain their value, but the intermediate qualities can only be quitted by submitting to a reduction of is per qr. Malt is most difficult of disposal, and only the choicest kinds meet attention, other sorts being ne glectt d. In beans or peas little stirring. With oats we were largely supplied by our growers, and the demand proving trifling, a further slight concession had to be made to induce business. The duty on wheat is Is, and on oats 6d per qr higher this week; on other grain there is no alteration. SALISBURY FORTNIGHTLY FAT AND LEAN CATTLE AND CoRN MARKET, DEC. 26.—The show of fat beasts rather small and indifferent, being so soon after Christ mas—sales were slack : best fat oxen offered at a decline of is to is 6d per score pounes, and then very many were left unsold ; prices ran from 9s 61 to lOs 6d for best Herefords and Devons; 8s to 9s for cows and bulls (fat). Sheep were also of dull sale—short in number, yet not in great demand ; the primest four and six tooth blether Downs sold at 4s 8d per stone of 81b ; some very good half-breds went at 4s to 4s 2d ditto. There were more than sufficed for the demand. A good quantity of pigs—prices lower ; large bacon hogs, 9s to 9s 6d per score ; Sows 8a to 8s 6,1 ditto; small porkers, lOs ditto ; fat calves, alive, les 6d per score, dead, 9s per score. Plenty of lean stock—yet but few buyers : prices consi derable lower : some very good uncalved cows making but 141, some as low as 101 to 121 ditto ; heifers at from 9/to 121 ditto. Inferior store beasts also hung on hand, many without purchasers. Some horses were in the market, both light and heavy, yet but few changed hands. Cheese was offered in good quantities, prices about the same as this day week for second-rate and inferior ; best double Somersets and Gloucesters dearer by 2s per cwt ; Chedders and North Wilts very scarce, and higher in price. Corn—The trade here was very inanimate, millers buying only first-rate dry samples. Second-rate and inferior were offered for less money. The number of sacks pitched less than for weeks past, many of the old farmers pre ferring selling by sample. Prices ran from 40s to 54s per quarter. No alteration in Flour. Barley—Malt sters were ready buyers of best chevalier, bright and heavy, at 34s to 35s per quarter ; grinding rather on the decline. Oats—Trade very dull ; not many samples sold, though offered at a decline of is per quarter. Beans and peas were not much in request. Malt, tares, and seeds, were not in demand. FAREHAM FAT CATTLE AND CORN MARKET, DEC. 26. —Cattle—A thin attendance and short supply of stock ; the beef and mutton trade much lower than on this day fortnight. Beef at lOs to lOs id per score, some down to 9s per score ; sheep at from 4s to 4s 6d per stone ; pigs, large fat, 10a ; small, lOs 6d per stone. Veal at from 9s 6d to lOs per stone. Lean cows, heifers, and calves, were lower considerably, very few finding pur chasers. Corn—Wheat was lower by at least 5s per load, some inferior even more reduced in price. Best samples scarcely made 13/ 13s per load, while many tnin and poor samples were offered at 9/ to 11/ per load. Barley, best samples, were rather more in request ; grinding of slow sale ; prices ran from 23s up to 35s per load. Beans and peas were also on the decline. Oats sold at from.l7s to 22s per quarter. PETERBOROUGH, DEC. 23.—We have to this day's market a good supply of wheat and barley, with a fair quantity of oats and beans offering. The sharp cold weather for the last few days has improved the condition of wheat, yet it has met a slow sale at is per quarter decline upon fine, and 2s upon inferior sorts. Barley is cheaper. Oats and beans barely maintain late rates. Currency to the growers:—Wheat, new 40s to 445, to 00s; fine, 46s to 48;; old, 46s to 48s; fine, 50s to 00s.

MARCH, DEC. 22.—We had a fair show of wheat at this market, but business was flat, and a decline of 2s per quarter took place for such parcels as were sold. Oats and beans are without material variation, but there is little inquiry for them. Per quarter imperial to the grower—Wheat, 41s to 455; fine. 48s to —s per quarter. Oats, lOiel to lld per stone.
