RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY ACTS. It appears from a return just issued of Railway Acts passed in the session of 1844, 1845, 1846, and 1847, that the sums authorised to be raised by capital and loan in 1844 amounted to 17,870,3011. for the construction of 822 miles of .railway; in the session of 1845 to 60,824,048 A for 2,694 miles of railway; in the session of 1846, to 132,096,2241. for 4,593 miles of railway, and in 1847. to 40,397,3951. for 1,353 miles of railway; making a total of 251,188,0681., and of 9,463 miles of railway. On the 31st of March, 1848, it states that 1,761 miles of the latter were open for traffic, leaving 7,702 miles to be completed. The capital called up for railway purposes from the commencement of 1844 to the 31st of March, 1848 amounted to 101,286,3091., of which the sum of 90,600,319/. was paid by shareholders, leaving 10,686,010 1 . due, and 98,281,6241. to be called up. The companies borrowed during that period 26,933,865/., re serving power to borrow 42,387,2881. more; so that the actual amount received on calls and loans in the course of four years and three months for the construction of railways amounted to 117,534,1841., being an average of 27,655,0001. per annum. The amount received on railway calls prior to the year 1844 was 41,310,0491.. leaving 601,966/. in arrear, and the amount borrowed 6,910,3221., making the total amount received up to that period 48,2 9 0,3711., and the grand total up to the 31st of March, 1848, 165,754,5551 LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. It affords us much satisfaction to be able to state that Mr. Creed, who filled for upwards of ten years, with such high credit to himself and with such great advan tage to the shareholders, the secretaryship of the Lon don and Birmingham and the London and North- Western Companies, has been elected to a seat in the direction of the latter company, and that he will be to day officially appointed thereto, in the room of Mr. Ben bow, M.P., who has resigned. We trust that Mr. Creed, whose knowledge of railway management is not snr passed by that of any railway man of the day, will take an active part in the superintendence of the affairs of the company, and that the appointment has not been made merely for the purpose of satisfying the complaints which have recently been made of the non-fulfilment of the promise made by M. Glyn at the last half-yearly meeting of the proprietors—viz., that though he (Mr. Creed) quitted his post as secretary, he would, as a director, continue to watch over the in terests of the company, to promote whose prosperity he had so long and so ably exerted himself. We are quite pware that the promises of Mr. Glyn, that Mr. Creed should be elected to the board, was conditional on the resignation of any member; but when we recol lect how many of the five-and-forty directors there are who may be truly called " sleeping partners" of the company, we must express our disappointment at the great delay which has taken place in what we deem to be the necessary election of Mr. Creed to the London and North-Western board.—Herald. Cape of Good Hope papers, of the 15th of No vember, report affairs to be progressing satisfactorily since the late attempt at rebellion, but there is much reason to believe that the dissatisfaction of the emigrant farmers across the frontier is not by any means appeased, nor their passions subdued. They complain of a want of care, interest, and attention on the part of the British Government towards them ; but are well-disposed, not withstanding long neglect, to aid Sir Harry Smith in his efforts for colonial reform, and the progressive wel fare and prosperity of the Cape. tranquillity prevailed on the eastern frontier, and the war tribute levied by the Governor bad been paid with alacrity, amounting to about 6,0001. Order was becoming gradually restored across the Orange River. From Kafirland the accounts are good. As association for introducing the cultivation of the cotton plant into Albany and Katirland had been formed at Graham's Town, and a committee appointed to carry out that object. BUTCHERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Thursday evening a meeting of this institution was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Qi.wen•strcet, for the pur pose of receiving the annual report and appointing officers for the ensuing year. Mr. J. Sharpe (who was re-elected president) took the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the secretary proceeded to read the report, from which it appeared that the income of the past year, including subscriptions, donations, &c., amounted to 2,8001., the expenses to 2,3001., leaving a balance of 5001. in favour of the society, besides a stock fund amounting to 10,0001. in the Three per Cent. Consols. It was also stated that 10 persons had been elected last year as fit recipients for the bounty of this charity, Making a total of 141 ad mitted since its formation in 1836. Several members then addressed the meeting, pointing out the many claims which the society had to public support. The usual officers were then elected; and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman, the meeting sepa• rated. THE MURDER, AT TEDBUBN ST. MARY, NEAR EXETER.—The name of a man in custody on a charge of having been concerned in the murder of Mrs. Grace Holman, at the above village, is Henry Woods; he was a labourer, and lately resided at Moreton, a hamlet about twelve miles from Exeter, and six from the scene of the murder. His apprehension was effected in consequence of some mysterious expression, in reference to the awful tragedy, which fell from him a few days since. His confession, as already stated, implicates two other parties, the one a labourer, named James Landvick, and the other a man who has since enlisted into the 85th regiment. Woods states that they all entered the house by means of a fir pole, reared against the win dows of the deceased's bed-room, after having made several ineffectual attempts to gain admission by other means; that, as soon as they entered, the deceased jumped up in bed and began to cry out, when the soldier threw himself upon her, and throttled her. Woods says he called out, "Don't murder her," on which the soldier replied, "If you don't hold your tongue, I'll murder you." Woods adds, that the old woman died very hard, and struggled much, the horrid deed being at length ac complished by piling the beading and a large box upon her, and pressing them down until life was extinct. Woods has conducted the officer to a spot where he says the silver spoons were buried, but the mould had been upturned, and the spoil had vanished, if it had ever been there. The principal, who, at the time of the murder was a shoemaker, living at Crediton, afterwards enlisted in the 85th regiment, and was attested at the Exeter Guildhall. He has since been appreheuded, and arrived in that city on Tuesday last. PRICE or WHISKY.—The Cork distillers reduced the price of this article 3d. per gallon on Friday last. The present price is 6s. per gallon, 25 over proof.—Cork Examiner. SAINT CLEMENT DANES.—Thursday a meeting was held in the vestry-room of the above parish, for the purpose of auditing the churchwardens' accounts, to make a rate for the necessary relief of the poor for the fourth quarter, and to consider the suggestion contained in the report of the committee, dated the 13th of No vember last, of suitably conveying to Mr. Steele the thanks of the vestry upon his resignation of the office of vestry-clerk. The chair was taken by Mr. J. P. Jaquet. After the minutes of the previous vestry had been read, the accounts were inspected and proved satisfactory. Mr. Jaquet then informed the meeting that a sum of 2,1501. was required to be made up for the relief of the poor, and to be provided by means of a rate. Mr. Boobyer moved a resolution to the effect that the rate levied should be 103., which, together with the rental of King's College Hospital, would make up the re quired sum. Mr. Chapman seconded this resolution, and it was unanimously carried. After some argirnent it was definitively determined that the style of the vote of thanks and the manner of conveying it to Mr. Steele, should be left to the decision of a committee composed of the following gentlemen:—Mr. Raimondi, Mr. Boobyer, Mr. Score, Mr. Peters, and Mr. Stokes. Mr. Peters and Mr. Howard were then nominated as overseers for the upper Liberty, and Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Knight for the lower. A requisition was given in to the chairman, de siring him to summon a meeting as speedily as conve nient, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present movement for the construction of fresh prisons or houses of correction. After some remarks relative to the situation (which was said to be as favourable as could be expected under the circumstances) of the chil dren at the Tooting Pauper Establishment, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, for his kindaess on the occasion, and the meeting separated. ROTAL FREEAIASONS' SCHOOL FOR FEMALE CHlL DREN.—Thursday a Quarterly General Court of this Institution was held in the Court-house of this establish ment, Westminster Bridge-road. The chair having been taken by one of the Governors, the secretary read the usual quarterly report, from which it appears that there are at present four vacancies in the school, and that at the next election six children will be nominated, the four successful candidates being admitted as inmates of the institution on the receivirg day, appointed after the election. This noble charity was founded in 1788 by the Chevalier Bartholomew liaspini, and since that period no less than 592 children have been admitted, brought up, and educated in it. The school was origi nally built at an expense of 3,0001., to contain 62 chil dren of Freemasons who have become reduced in cir cumstances, but now, owing to the patronage and con tributions of the royal family, nobility, and gentry, the governors are enabled to accommodate a larger number. Many of the recipients of the bounty of this institution have been apprenticed to various trades by the funds of the charity. T he usual q uar terly busin ess h av i ng b ee n gone through, and a vote of thanks passed to the chair man, the meeting terminated. Tula IRON TRADE, BIRMINGHAM , T —HURSDAT. One of the most numerous and highly influential meet ings of the iron and coal masters of this district, which has been held for a long time past, took place t o -d ay at the Town Hall, in this borough. The meeting was not only numerous and respectable, but highly gratifying in its results. The utmost firmness prevailed, and the ac counts given by all parties of the improved condition of the trade were exceedingly gratifying. It was reported that many excellent orders had arrived by the last two packets from America, and these, coupled with the fact, that our home stocks have become nearly exhausted, led to a determination not to seek orders at present prices. The engagements entered into during the past quarter will occupy the furnaces two months, and the masters are not disposed to accept of fresh orders unless at an advance. It is now well known that the present rates, 61. 10s. for bar, and 3/. 19s. for pig iron, are not remu nerative, and nothing but necessity, caused by the recent destructive competition of the Welch and Scotch markets, could have led to such low prices. We have, however, reached the lowest point, and the prospects for the new year are cheering. A letter from Parma, dated the 30th of December, states that a law was issued there on the 28th, imposing a forced loan of 752,000 f. in State Bonds, payable in three instalments, viz., kith of January, 15th of February, and 15th of March. This measure had occasioned uni versal discontent. SINGULAR CASE. At Worship-strcet Police-office, on Thursday, a well dressed young woman, named Jane West, in the service of Messrs. Atkins and Co., milliners and bonnet-manufacturers, in High-street, Shored tch, and who is the daughter of a gentleman holding a situation in one of the Government departments, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged, under the following extraordinary circumstances, with robbing children of money and other property in the public streets : Towards dusk on the evening of the 3d inst., as an elderly gentleman, named Spencer, was proceeding through the Kingsland-road, he was suddenly stopped by a genteel little girl, between twelve and thirteen years of age, named Isabella Lloyd, the daughter of a builder, in Acton-street, close by, who anxiously pointed out the prisoner, a short distance in advance of them, and entreated him to give her into custody , as she had robbed her of tea and a quantity of other grocery articles about a fortnight before. He did not like to assume such a responsibility at the instance of a child, but followed the prisoner until they met Sergeant Godfrey of the N divi sion, to whom he communicated the circum stances of the alleged robbery, and who instantly crossed over to the prisoner and accused her of it. The prisoner expressed the greatest astonishment, denied she had ever seen the little girl before, and, protesting her innocence, refused to move until her employer, Mrs. Atkins, had been apprised of her situation. The sergeant warned the child to be cautious, but she persisted in her identification of the prisoner, and as her father, upon calling upon him, also preferred the charge, the accused was taken to the station-house. Before reaching there, however, a second little girl, Isabella Denvil, eleven years old, and daughter of the actor of that name, came up, and the instant she caught sight of the prisoner exclaimed, " Oh, dear, policeman, that's the woman who robbed me of my 4s. 10d. ;" and upon inquiry it appeared from the statement of both the children that they had been sent to the shop of a teadealer named Dickinson, at Kingsland, for grocery, and that while the one was going for the goods and the other returning with them, they were met by the prisoner, who in each instance carried a bonnet box, and who cajoled them out of their goods and money upon the pretence of sending them to the house of a Mrs. Smith for a 51. note and package of baby linen, promising to wait at Mr. Dickinson's until they returned. The result was, that after hunt ing about till they were tired for the houses, 174, King-street, and 142, Mansfield-street, neither of which streets had such a number of houses, the little girls returned without discovering them, and found that the prisoner had in the meantime absconded. On reaching the station-house, Mrs. Atkins attended there, and expressing her conviction of the prisoner's innocence, and that she must have been mistaken, from personal similarity, for some one else, offered to have the prisoner's boxes searched, which was done, but no money was found there, and no more finery or clothing than such a person as the prisoner might reasonably possess. The children were severely questioned by Mr. Vann, who appeared for the defence, but without shaking their testimony in the least—they each swore positively to the prisoner, and the mothers of the children deposed to their daughters coming home crying convulsively after being robbed, and giving a description of the thief, which exactly tallied with the prisoner's personal appearance. This was the substance of two of the cases, but in the mean time a third charge turned up, and in this case it appeared that a child named Jane Dunt, daughter of a coachman in :Cross-street, Finsbury, while passing Messrs. Cater and Woods, at the end of Chiswell-street, at twelve o'clock in the day, about a month before, was robbed, under similar pretences, of half-a crown and a farthing, by a woman, again with a bonnet-box, who, finding that she could not get the money from the child by any other means, forced it out of her hand and ran off with it. Little Dunt hurried home crying to her mother, and she fetched her husband, who, 20 minutes after, stopped the prisoner (a fourth time with a bonnet box), upon Fins bury-pavement, from the description the child had given of the thief, and she being also positively identified by the little girl, was taken in custody to Feather stone-street station. There she was searched ; but though a farthing was certainly found upon her, no half-crown was ' • and under these circumstances , and as the prisoner declared her respectability and pro• tested her innocence, the charge was foregone and she was liberated. This fact the prisoner did not at all conceal, but on reaching her employer's told Mrs. Atkins the full particulars, and she and the prisoner's father were so anxious to have her character cleared from such an imputation, that they voluntarily took her back to the station the next day, to see if any thing could be preferred against her. In consequence of the other cases this charge was renewed, and little Dunt again swore positively to the prisoner as the woman who had robbed her, and her mother also gave the clescflption her child had given her of the woman, which likewise tallied with that of the prisoner." Mrs. Atkins, who evidently felt warmly in the prisoner's behalf, stepped forward, and, expressing her earnest conviction of the prisoner's innocence, stated that she had received an excellent character with her when she entered her service ; that she had been with her a considerable period, during the whole of which she had conducted herself with the greatest integrity and propriety ; that she had left her repeatedly in sole charge of her property without missing anything ; and that she was not only in the habit of intrusting her with considerable sums to receive and pay away, but that the amount of these disbursements through the prisoner's hands had considerably exceeded 1001. n the course of one month alone. Mr. Vann addressed the magistrate on behalf of the accused, urging the probability of the children being all mistaken, and stating that be had several persons in attendance who could not only speak in the highest terms of the prisoner's previous conduct, but some of whom could absolutely prove an alibi for her on two of the occasions spoken to. He hoped the magistrate, in a case of some doubt, if it was his intention to send it before a jury, would accept bail for his client's future appearance, which would be put in to any amount. Mr. Hamadll, however, said that in a case of such positive identification he did not feel justified in taking hail, and as it was his intention to send the prisoner for trial, he thought it would be most advisable for the Learned Gentleman to reserve the conflicting evidence he was in possession of for that occasion, where it would be much more effective, if available. The depositions were therefore taken, and the pri soner, who was tenderly embraced by her mistress when she left the bar, was fully committed for trial upon all three charges. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two men, named Henry Albert and Henry Howard, were brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having plundered the warehouse of Messrs. Wood and Co.. warehousemen in Watling• street, of carpeting. The case exhibited one of the numerous instances in which the extensive houses in the city have been recently plundered through the instrumentality of servants. The prisoner Albert had been in the employment of the pro secutors, and it was stated that within but a very few weeks robberies had been effected in the establishment to the amount of upwards of 5001. Mr. Hobler conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner the defence. The Lord Mayor was occupied for a considerable time in hearing the very complicated evidence, and the pri soners were ordered to be brought up on Monday in order to be committed for trial. A man named Enever was afterwards brought up on suspicion of having been concerned in a robbery upon the same firm, and after a long examination was set at liberty upon his own recognizance in 401. to appear to answer the charge. It was quite evident, from the state ments made in the course of the investigation, that several of the large establishments in the city have been regularly beset by multitude of thieves and re ceivers. The LORD MAYOR requested that the liberal dona tion of 201. to the poor-box might be acknowledged in the press, together with his warm thanks to "T. and S." GUILDHALL. Mr. Hooper, the chemist and druggist residing by Lon don-bridge, appeared before Sir G. Carroll under the following circumstances:— _ _ On Monday last Mr. M'Dougal, surgeon, made an ap plication to the sitting Alderman for his advice, and stated, that having a patient from the country placed under his care, he, in the course of his professional at tendance, considered it necessary to give a double dose of medicine of a sedative character, the prescription of which he wrote, directing that it should be taken at bed-time. It was sent to Mr. Hooper's, and one of the assistants, instead of using camphorated water and hen bane, made the mixture up of henbane, opium, and spirits, and had it been taken his patient would have been killed; but the most fortunate circumstance was, that the assistant made a further mistake by writing on the bottle the word " Mixture" instead of " The draught to be taken at bed-time," in consequence of which it w as n o t t a k e n. On calling twice he could not see Mr. Hooper, and the assistant treated the affair with great levity, saying that it was " only a mistake." The Alderman granted a summons for ignorance or wilful negligence in allowing the prescription to be ina.de up. Mr. . 4 0. T. ire attended, and said that Mr. Hooper, who a was then presents I t i )peared, not to defend the sum mons, but to cl ear the case had been given to Mr. t is own character. An explana tion of the facts o f n M‘Dougal, and he was application had appeared perfectly satisfied ; but, as a report of th e in the newspapers, it was a ven. Mr. Hooper's necessary that an ex planation should be as publicly tt mode of conducting business was a that if . he . should not happen to be at home to make upprescription, his assistants were not to do so, but to seg e i s j to a neigh bouring chemist. In t his instance, one o f them had de parted from that rule , a nd it was with deep regret that Mr. Hooper was obliged to sa y so. However, he n taken precautions that, for t he future, such a mi stake should not occur again. With respect to Mr. M`Dougal having called twice, and been told that Mr. Hooper was not within, that gentleman was perfectly ignor Ant of the wnole affair until he received the summons, and he had every reason to believe that on each occasion the as sistant had denied him for the purpose of screening him self. Under all the circumstances, he (Mr. Wire) thought there was no occasion to trouble the alderman with going into evidence which might eventually turn out to be not within his power of deciding. Sir G. CARROLL asked if the complainant was satis fied after hearing Mr. Wire's explanation? Mr. M'Dougal said ho was. His only object in sum moning Mr. Hooper was to further the object which the medical profession generally were exerting them selves for, and compel chemists and druggists to undergo an examination, and also that their assistants should pass through the same ordeal. It was true that a Pharmaceutical Soeiety existed which had a great number of members; but the fault was, that they had no Act of Parliament, and therefore examinations were not compulsory. On the last occasion he made a slight error in stating that the bottle was a two-ounce one, whereas it would only contain an ounce and a-half, and therefore there could be but an ounce of paregoric. Sir G. CARROLL—WouId that quantity have had the same effect? Mr. M'Dougal—The effect would have been the same, but I am now perfectly satisfied with the explanation given. The Chief Clerk intimated to the Alderman that the assistant was already dismissed from Mr. Hooper's service. Sir G. CARROLL said that the public were much in debted to Mr. M'Dougal for calling the magistrate's attention to so serious a subject, where the lives of so many were at the mercy of such persons. Mr. Hooper, he thought, had given a very satisfactory explanation through his legal adviser, and therefore the summons was dismissed. - - _ - THE StTN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1849. Western Company, on the 28th of October, to ascertain th . o i t • • that oecabi,n he saw the wunntn, and on being •u to her apartment he found her in bed, and, on being questioned, she attributed her illness to the accident she said she met with in the train; her account to him was, that within twenty-four hours after the accident she had a miscarriage, and that in a day or two afterwards she had prolapsus uteri. The witness also had an interview with the man, who described himself as her brother, and who stated that he was in the same carriage with her, and that he was thrown with much violence from one side to the other of the carriage, that it produced he morrhage of an alarming nature, and from which, he added, he was still suffering. Mr. Clarkson further stated in the course of his appli cation that he should, on the examination of those charged with the offence, be enabled to produce a wit ness whom the accused had employed to substantiate their written statements of the alleged accidents, as transmitted by them to the company when they applied for compensation. This witness would state that he was induced to act as he did by the accused, although he knew nothing of the accident; and that he did it under an erroneous notion, conceiving, at the time, that it was a mere matter of form required by the company before they adjusted the affair with those to whom they in tended to grant compensation. The Learned Counsel concluded by remarking, that in order to bring those guilty to justice, and to prevent in future any attempt to practise such gross frauds on the railway company, who were always ready to come forward and remunerate those who, through the negligence or carelessness of those in their employ, met with accidents, they (the company) had considered it incumbent upon them to adopt the necessary proceedings for checking it. Mr. COTTINGHAM at once complied with the Learned Counsel's application; and warrants were accordingly granted which were placed in the hands of Murray, one of the summoning officers of the court. twelve, at the Court, Manchester—S.

On Tuesday last Roche and West, two of the Men dicity Society's officers, brought before Mr. Hardwick a tall emaciated lad, who had been found begging about the streets. The lad, who was evidently hardly able to stand from exhaustion, stated that his name was Charles Alexander M'Kenzie, son of the late Captain Charles M'Kenzie, of the 50th Regiment of Madras Native In fantry. He had been placed at an eminent school in Madras by his father, where, in addition to the ordinary branches of education he had been taught a great number of the native dialects. His father died in 1843, leaving him entirely destitute. He was advised by some friends to make his way to England, where he would stand a chance, through his father's connexions, of get ting into employment suitable to his acquirements. He took this advice, and having no other means of reaching this country, he entered himself on board a vessel bound for England, belonging to Messrs. Stanes and Co., of the Potteries, and worked out his passage. About three months ago he arrived in England, and made his way to London. He was unable to procure employment, and, fur the last two months, he had been wandering about the streets in a starving state, sleeping in outhouses and sheds. Mr. HARDWICK ordered the lad some present assist ance, and requested the officers to take him to St George's workhouse until the truth of his story could be. inquired into. Roche undertook to ascertain if there were any means of corroborating the statement made by the lad. Yesterday Roche brought the lad before Mr. Hard wick, and said, from the inquiries which he had made, he had reason to believe that the lad's story was correct. He had made inquiries of Messrs. Grindley and Co., East India agents, of St. Martin's-place, and they had written a letter to say that Captai❑ M‘lienzie died in 1843, but that if he left a son that son would be entitled to a pension of 601. a-year, unless the money had been anticipated for the son's outfit: As the lad was still very weak from protracted pri vation, Mr. HARDwicK directed that he should be taken back to the workhouse until he was so far recovered as to be able, with a little assistance, to shift ! . or himself. itoche was also desired to continue his inquiries. MARYLEBONE. A respectable-looking man named William Wood, butler to Mr. P. L. Hynes, 61, Portland-place, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, upo❑ a charge of having robbed his master. Handley, a vigilant officer of the D division, No. 199, deposed that on the previous night, about ten o'clock, he saw the prisoner come out of Mr. Hynes's area, car rying under his arm a green baize bag. Witnes asked him what he had with him, to which he replied, only a few coals, which he had brought from Tottenham court-road; and when questioned as to whether he had not just left his master's area, he said, " I acknowledge that I have done so, but I hope you won't take me, for if you do it will be my ruin for life." Mr. LONG —What did you find upon him? Handley—ln addition to 521 b. weight of coals, which were in the bag,, ho had in his possession a quantity of bread, meat, &c. The prosecutor said he had no doubt that the pro perty produced was his, and requested that a remand might take place, in order to afford time for him to ascertain if he had been plundered to a greater extent, the prisoner having had the care of much valuable pro perty in the house. Mr. LONG acceded to the prosecutor's wish, and re manded the prisoner (who had nothing to say) until Thursday next. WORSHIP-STREET. _ _ Charles Wingfield, 17 years of ago, the son of a re spectable tradesman in Bishopsgate-street, was charged with having, in conjunction with a youth named William Gilbert, grandson of a tailor and outfitter in that neigh bourhood, and who already stands remanded from this court upon the charge, burglariously entered the dwel ling-house of an upholsterer named Timothy, in High street, Shoreditch, and stolen a quantity of plate and other property. The prosecutor's premises were broken into during the night time, in the early part of November, and the thieves, who carried off plate and other articles, left be hind them, in one of the bed-rooms, the lamp of a dark lantern.l It was evident to the police that the house ha been entered through a trap-door in the roof, which could only have been got at through the adjoining pre mises, and hearing that Gilbert, who had been kindly adopted by his grandfather after the death of his parents, had been seen in repeated communication with well known thieves, Smith and Turpin, of the G divison, searched Mr. Gilbert's premises, and, after discovering in one of the youth's boxes a silver gravyspoon, tea spoon, and pair of sugar tongs, found, upon examining a recess in the counter, a dark-lantern secreted there, to which the lamp left at the prosecutor's fitted, besides a skeleton key and eight street door keys, not belonging to the house, but one of which, it afterwards appeared had been stolen from the house of a tradesman named Cheale, in Providence-row, Finsbury, at which the pri soner had been in the habit of calling upon a profes sional gentleman. Gilbert was thereupon taken into custody, acknowledging his participation in the burglary, and the officers having subsequently received informa tion that the young man Wingfield had also been en gaged in it, they went to his father's house and accused him of it, when he at once confessed his guilt, and, taking them up into his bedroom, pointed out a drawer, in which they discovered a second gravyspoon, two teaspoons, and a parasol, which were all the share of the plunder, he said, that had fallen to his lot. On showing him the dark-lantern found in young Gilbert's posses sion, he recognised it as the same they had used in per petrating the robbery, and mentioned the name of a lamp-manufacturer in Bishopsgate as the persoa of whom they had purchased it, who, when called on, confirmed the assertion. He then entered into a circumstantial ac count of the manner in which the burglary had been ffected, and declared that he had been induced to en gage in it solely through the instigation of his con federates. The prosecutor identified the property produced by the officers as having formed part of that stolen from his premises on the night of the robbery ; and the pri soner who now merely said, " I plead guilty to the charge, and have nothing more to say," was remanded till the day appointed for the final examination of Gilbert, when the case will be formally completed against both. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, accompanied by the soli citor and other gentlemen connected with the London and North-Western Railway Company, attended for the purpose of making application for warrants against three persons, two men and one woman, for conspiring to commit a fraud against the company. Mr. Clarkson, in describing the grounds upon which ho made the application, s aid that it involved matters of the utmost importance as regarded the London and North-Western Company, against whom it would be satisfactorily proved that a most scandalous attempt had been made by parties conspiring to de fraud them under the pretext that an accident had occurred to one of the trains, by which it was alleged that two persons were so seriously injured as to incapacitate them from following their usual avocations. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state with mi nuteness the facts, from which it appeared, that in Oc tober an application was made to the company for re muneration by two persons, who represented that in earning up from York, in a second class carriage, a col lision occurred at Leighton Buzzard, on the sth of July previously, in consequence of which they received most serious injuries; the man, it was alleged, had sustained a hurt in the chest which produced hemorrhage from the lungs, and the woman, who was described as being enciente at the period in question, had had a miscarriage, and otherwise suffered severely from the effects of the accident. The parties having laid their case before the directors, suspicions were entertained that their state ments were concocted for the purpose of defrauding the company, who refused to grant remuneration unless it was satisfactorily proved that they bad sustained the iojuries they represented. In accordance, therefore, with this intention, the company caused a rigid in quiry to be made into the circumstances, the result of which was a discovery that the whole scheme had been concocted by those against whom he made the ap plication for the sole purpose of defrauding the com pany, and that, in point of fact, no accident at all had tccurred to them, and he would prove by incontestable evidence that the woman, who it was alleged had 8u:- tallied such serious injury, had not been in the train at all. These persons had since issued writs against the company, and their claim for compensation for the alleged injuries was 301. each. Mr. Clarkson added that he should produce, on this occasion, such evidence with regard to the transaction as would fully bear out his statement of the facts, and that he was convince the magistrate would not hesitate in granting the applica tion. He then called forward two witnesses, who, on being sworn, stated, that on the 4th of September, the day on which the accident was alleged to have occurred, the woman, who was represented to have had a miscar riage owing to it, was at home at her own house in her usual state of health. A medical gentleman was next examined, and he said that he went, by direction of the London and North- SPICES.—There hqs been a hriskPr demand for brown 01 i'ena:,g 36 c,ses 2 boxes 3 ba i ;s were slid at public sale.

TsvisTocx. FAIR, .JAN. 10.—The quantity of cattle driven in to-day, was a full average of a January fair, and the quality pretty good. The fat bullocks met with customers at quite former prices, but store cattle could not find customers at any price. Butchers' cows from 50s. upwards. Sheep were not in request, but the few sold realized from 5d to sfd per lb. Cows and calves scarce, at high prices. NEWBURY JAN. 11.—The supply of wheat is only moderate, but more than sufficient for the demand, which is extremely slack, millers confining their pur chases within the narowest limits. There being but little demand for Flour, either in Bristol or London, and the home trade limited, their wants were soon satisfied, and a considerable quantity remains over unsold; what sales were made realised nearly late rates. Barley a large supply, and but little progress made, although offered at is to 2s per quarter decline. Beans, peas, and oats with a moderate supply, extremely difficult to quit, and late rates barely supported. CHELTENHAM, JAN. 11.—We had a good market to day; and prices remained without alteration. BRISTOL, JAN. 11.—At to.day's market there was a moderate supply of English wheat ; dry new sold at last week's prices, whilst old and inferior new were very little demanded. English, old, 48s to 52s per imperial quarter ; English, new, 403 to 445. F ore i gn w h eats were in very limited sale, but parcels under bond were in request, though generally at is to 2s per quarter under the rates required, which were for good to fine Polish, red, from 43s to 445, and white from 44s to 46s per imperial quarter in bond; foreign white, 47s to 50s per 4801bs; ditto red, fine qualities, 45s to 48s; ditto, ordinary qualities, 42s to 445; ditto, hard, 40s to 455. Flour was in fair demand for immediate consumption, and prices were unaltered: English seconds, 36s to 38s per sack; American, &c., sweet, 26s to 28s per barrel. The malting barley trade was very heavy, and supplies, both of English and foreign, were unusually large; Eng lish is again lower by fully is per quarter, and foreign from is to 24, with only the finest description of the latter at present saleable; English malting, 30s to 24s per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding, 241 to 28s per 4001bs; and for grinding the demand has much lessened, and for these and distillery parcels quo tations were reduced from is to 24 per quarter. Oats were without improvement: Devon and Welsh, 16s 6d to 17s 6d per imperial quarter; Irish, white, ISs to 20. per 3201b5; Irish, black, 16s to 17s 6d per imperial quarter; foreign, none. In beans and peas there was but very little doing. English beans brought 40s to 445; foreign, 34s to 38s per 4801bs.

DERBY CATTLE MARKET, ,TAN. 9.—The supply of fat beasts to-day was good, and the attendance of purchasers was large, but all the animals would not be disposed of. There was a large number of sheep, of most excellent quality, and we may say that the show of fat sheep was as good as has been for some mouths past. Fat pigs were plentiful, but the demand was flat: fat calves were scarce. Beef fid to sid; mutton si,i to 6d; veal 6id per lb; pork 9s per score; rough fat 4s per stone; hides per lb; calf skins 2d to 41.

B.—There appeared a tolerable show of cattle at this fair, and a mouerate attendauce of dealers. A number of fat ones were disposed of, at prices which satisfied the vendors. Heifers, and other de*criotions of cattle. were not so mech in demand, and 1. , t piccs were rather down, bet not much bwiness done. Fat pigs were higher and much in demand, but scarcely any were shown. Prices from 30 to 3id per lb live. The hcrse fair was very poorly attended, and very few in the market. The corn market was very dull : prices as quoted last week, with very little alteration.

INVERNESS, JAN. 9.—To-day the business done was principally in wheat, but was not large in amount. High prices are Mill offered for old wheat by the bakers, but new wheat has fallen is since our last. The price quoted fur barley is merely nominal, few or no sales hav ing been effected for some time. The real value of the article is probably is lower than our figures. Little has been done in oats, which maintain a higher value here, whatever the cause, than in the Morayshire markets. We repeat last week's quotations for this grain, with the remark that only one or two sales have been made Wheat, per qr of 621 b per bushel: ... 45s od to 48s Od Barley, do 541 b do ... 26s Od to Os od Oats, do do do ... 19s Od to 20s 0d INVERNESS MEAL AND PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 9. —Oatmeal, 17s; ditto second, 16s Od; barleymeal, 13s 6d; peasemeal, 15s to 18s per imp boll; bran, 7d to 8d per stone; Ist flour, 44s to 455; 2d ditto, 35s to 38s per 280 lb; oatmeal, best, is 10d; ditto, second, is 8d; bar leymeal, is 4d; peasemeal, is 6d; Ist flour, 3s cash, 35 6d credit; 2d ditto, 2i 6d cash, 2s 10d credit per stone of 141 b imperial.
