THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM •THE MORNING PAFERS, September 11. E 3131E5. l We are no longer alarmed by the warlike ru mours or .prognostics contained in the foreign prints; still, as heretofore, they bear a double aspect. Letters from Odessa of the 14th tilt. state merely, that Baron Strogonoff had arrived there on the night preceding, having sailed from Constantinople on the 9th. Much importance is I ascribed by some people to the immediate dis patch of couriers from Odessa, to the Russian Admiral at Sebastopol; the General, Wittgen stein, in Bessarabia, and to St. Petersburgh it self. It is pretty obvious that couriers would be dispatched, as a thing of course, though not so CinT that their mission must have been the ne cessary harbinger of hostilities. Letters have reached town from St. Petersburgh, of .a date three days more recent than those from Odessa —namely, of the 17th ult.: those which we have seen are from respectable sources, and are of a pacific nature. We learn at the same time that some others of an opposite tendency have come to hand; but nothing has yet been commu nicated to us on which we could feel our selves justified in surrendering our hopes that peace for the present may still remain unbroken. The enthesiasm of many of the German youth in favour of the Greeks is not so difficult to account for, as we find it to understand their schemes of military co-operation ; nor is it very easy to reconcile the encouragement, at least negative, - which these adventurers appear to receive from the higher powers throughout Germany, with their positive prohibition to export arms, &c., to the disturbed provinces of the Turkish empire, and with their disavowal of all partnership with the insurrection, throughout the countries on. the Danube. The Gazette de France announces that Morino is put upon his trial ; that the club of modern Jacobins, de la Fontana, has accused Don Carlos, the King's brother, of being at the head of a counter revolutionary conspiracy, and that a new crisis is dai}y expected at Madrid. It is to be observed, that the French Ministerial papers are in the habitof inserting such unfounded or grossly exaggerated descriptions of the state of parties, and of the prospects impending over Spain, that they have lost all title to credit or respect, except where they are confirmed by less suspicious authority. [MORNING POST.] Contrary to the hopes and assertions of those, whose interests require that Turkey should not be disturbed in her present feast of blood, Baron Strogonoff has not only sailed from Constantino ple, but has landed at Odessa. This intelligence was brought yesterday from various quarters. — French Papers to the Bth inst. first communicated it, and it was afterwards confirmed by private letters from Odessa, of as late a date as the 15th of July. It is really curious to observe the efforts made, both by the letterwriters, and by a large portion of the public Press, to deny the import ance of the Baron's return, as they formerly de nied its probability. " The knowledge of this circumstance," say some of the correspondents, " has tended very much to remove the apprehen sion of a war between Russia and Turkey."— " It is evident," says one of our contemporaries . , 44 that apprehensions of a war between RUssia and Turkey have nearly subsided." Now what has produced that evidence ? The very fact which' the whole world has been told must be regarded as the signal for hostilities, whenever it should t2ke place! But perhaps the manner in which it occurred may have changed its nature ;—the arrival of the Baron at Odessa may haVe been followed by no symptom of increased activity ; the fleet and armies may have received no orders, and the Baron himself may have shewn, by for bearing to communicate' any intelligence disas trous to the Porte, that he did not consider him self at liberty to display a hostile feeling towards it. How stands this part of the case, and what are the 44 evidences " on which both coPiespon-, dents and contemporaries argue, when they as sert, " that the apprehensions of war have nearly subsided ?" They are these, as stated in their own letters and Journals:—" That Baron Stro gonoff, with his entire suite, arrived .at Odessa on the 13th ult., and that the Governor, Count. Langeron, instantly dispatched three Couriers; one to Count Orloff, Admiral commanding the fleet of Sebastopol ; another to Count de Wittgenstein, Commandant-in-Chief in BesSa rabia ; and the third to St. Petersburgh.— Now what would have been the most natural inference to be drawn from this? Would it not have beeft that the Commanders of the fleet and the army having been previously.instructed to consider the arrival of Baron Strogonoff as the signal. for hostilities, couriers were immediately dispatched to inform them that the signal was given and that the time for action was come, whilst another was sent. to Petersburg!' to an nounce the opening' of the campaign ? With respect to' the language used by Strogonoff at his arrival. instead of being that of a man who conceived that matters were still in de- 1 bate, and that a guarded , conduct was • ne cessary, he was the first.to announce g 4 that the greatest portion of the Ottoman fleet had been taken, by the Greeks, and that among the pri soners was the Turkish Admiral, Cara AIL"— This is evidence, we believe, which, if not quite decisive of the actual commencement of hostili ties, affords stronger Presumption in favour of -war than of peace ; yet it is that upon which the opponents of the Greeks found the asser tion, that" the apprehensions of war have nearly subsided !" 'We do notrecognize on this occa sion•their.usual 'keenness of perception, or so-. lidity of argument.; neither do we quite forget that none are so . blind as those who do not choose to see, or that there' is such a thing as voluntary deraisonmeni.. A few days must now put an end to all speculations on this important subject. Whether ours shall prove to have been correct or erroneous we cannot pretend to decide; all we contend for is, that they are 'neither la- Poured nor forced ) but spring - from the most simple and natural construction of the intelli gence before us ; whereas those of our opponents contradict all its points, are far-fetched, and scarcely attain even the appearance of plausi bility. [BRITISH PRESS.] It may now, , as we think, be sufficiently col lected from the Paris and other Continental Papers, that Turkey has fully assented to. the demands contained in the ,Russian Ultimatum ; and if such •be the case, there seems to be no cause to discredit the pacific tone which the greater part, of the communications from the Continent have lately assumed. Upon the other hand, however, we learn by intelligence _from Odessa, that Baron Strogonoff has actually ar rived in that town, having left Constantinople on the 9th of August. If this fatter event had hap. pened some two or three weeks previously, it -would have been regarded all over Europe as an infallible assurance of war, but occur ring just at this particular moment, we think that it can be explained without the neces sity of inferring so hostile a disposition. — Russia having required from Turkey the ful filment of certain conditions as the alternative by which alone war was to be avoided, could not upon her part, consistently with the ordinary principles of justice and honesty, refuse to per form her implied stipulations if Turkey should declare her resolution of fulfilling the conditions prescribed in the ultimatum, even though the ac quiescence of the Ottoman Porte might not have been expressed within the precise period, which was somewhat imperiously limited by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. in a matter of such deep and serious moment, a 'day or two ought not to be esteemed of much importance when weighed against the horrors and vicissitudes of war, the more especially as in the present case the-object of the war may be obtained by the voluntary concession of the offending party. [MORNING HERALD.] There is no receiving through the Ttench Pa pers any accounts of the state of Spain which may be relied on. The Ultra Journals exagge rate and distort every occurrence unfavourable to the constitutional system. The . Liberals, on the other hand, do what they can to conceal. or excuse the popular excesses at Madrid, by - garb- Hugs and omissions. It may be inferred, how ever, with some certainty, upon a comparison of both sides, that the stability of, the Govern ment was not for a moment threatened ; that the mass of the, people of the metropolis took no share in the tumult ; and that' the, rioters consisted only of a few hundreds of those dis orderly persons who may be found in all great cities, particularly. upon occasions of political excitation.---General Morillo has addressed alet ter to the Jouruals, in which he exculpates him self entirely, it would appear, to the satisfaction Of the public.—His letter is praised by all the Journals, even the most democratic, and an al-; cade has come forward to confirm, by his oath, the truth of the General's statement, and the moderation of his conduct — Morino demands an investigation of his conduct, which was shortly to take place. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It is difficult 'to describe the enthusiasm dis played in the cause of the Greeks in Germany. The newspapers of that country teem with ac counts of associations and subscriptions in every quarter. The fair sex, whose participation is oftmn attended with such important results in cases of this nature, have particularly distin guished themselves on the present occasion.— " Though persons of every age and of both sexes," it is said, " take-the warmest interest in the cause of the Greeks, which has such claims on all Christendom, and on civilization in ge neral, yet it seems reserved for. the female half of our species, and our youth, to dis play this interest most keenly, and to give most effect to their sentiments by deeds." In a let ter' from the Maine, in the Algenzeine Zeitung, it is stated, that " in several of the large towns of that part of Germany female associations are form ing on the model of those to which the Liberation War gave rise." The enthusiasm among the Young thew is not confined to' the students at Unive,rsities, but extends to the scholars of the academies and inferior schools.—" In one of the neighbouring towns," says the letter above alluded to, " the scholars of a Gymnasium opened a sub scription, in which the smallest contribution amounted to a month's pocket money." What ever may be said of the interest taken by the people -of Germany in this cause, selfish motives cannot Certainly be imputed to • tnem. They can promise to themselves no particular commercial advantages from the overthrow and expulsion of the Turks—they have no object of national ambition to promote. If is natural, however, that in a country in which education has-long been on a most liberal footing, and where classical literature, in particular, is most assiduously cultivated and extensively dif fused, an interest more than usually intense should be taken in the Greek struggle. [NEW TIYIF.S.] If any thing'could astonish us in the conduct of The Times, it would' be the matchless impu dence with which that most profligate Journal argues for a', verdict of Wilful Murder, in the case , of Honey. One thing, however, is very re markable, The Times itself feels that this atro cioua argument cannot be maintained, with a shadoW of plausibility, but by the assertion, that there was no authority for opening Cumberland gate ! This is really too barefaced, in the very Journal which has, for weeks together, been loading the King's Govertinfiint with abuse for giving the orders by which that measure was authorised. Did' the Government, or did it not, direct the Funeral to pass by the New road ? it did, there is an - end of the question. Ave ; but say the advocates of the doctrine of Wilful- Murder, Sir Robert Biker had given up the orders of Government ; '.he had yielded to •the mob ; the - mob had ob .tained a . victory over him, and taken his parole to pass in front of Carlton House. To this there are two answers ; first; the statement is false. Sir Robert Bak&i, on ills oath, swears he had not promised to Obey the will of the mob ; he. had not given up tlc.e orders of Government ; he still meant to get to the New-road, if prac ticable : but, secondly, will any man have the monstrous impudence to contend that the act of a riotous mob, or the forced consent of a timid Magistrate acting "under the terror of the mob, could annihilate the authority of Government. Sir Robert Baker was not sent tO controul, but to facilitate the execution of orders which had been given long before, which were officially communicated the preceding night to the Sheriff, from which Government never had for an instant departed, and which were, to all intents and pur poses, the law on the subject. The Times calls attention to the evidence of Corporal Haywood and Private Henchman, who• both declare that they used force against the people who for cibly shut the gates. They did so, "because the people . would not obey their orders"—and they not only had a right to do so for this reason, but they were bound in duty to do so. Let any Juryman or other person aslehimself what would have been the. consequence had any individual soldier refused to force open the gates. He would have been liable to be brought to a Court martial, and shot I---And yet for obeying the same order he is to be hanged !—Monstrous I—Many of our Correspondents complain that we have not noticed with proper reprobation certain circum stances in the conduct of the Jurors, against which (as it is. stated) the public in general ex claim very loudly. We would rather err on the side of forbearance ; and we do not wish to an ticipate a Verdict (however probable) not per fectly consonant to the justice. of the case. Above all, we rely on the Coroner's doing his duty; Which if he does, we think few Jurors will have the hardihood to act in direct and gross violation of their oaths. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions were opened by the Loan MAYOR, the Sheriffs, Aldermen T. Smith, Garratt, Atkins, Cox, and Venables. FREQUENT AND ALARMING HIGHWAY ROB BERIES. The COMMON SERGEANT, in charging the Grand Jury for the City of London, said that on look ing over the calendar he was glad to perceive that the list of prisoners for trial for offences committed in the city of London was light, com pared with the list of prisoners for trial for of fences committed in the county of Middlesex. But although the list of prisoners for trial on the London side was light in point of number, yet be was sorry to find that,' notwithstanding the vigilance of the Magistrates, and the prompt ac tivity of the police, the number of prisoners on charges of highway robberies had increased to a most alarming and unprecedented extent. It was a most intolerable grievance, that persons could not walk the streets after dusk without having their property, and even their lives, ea dangered by the daring outrages of organized gangs of robbers ; and to check this evil some extraordinary measures must undoubtedly be re sorted to. The Learned Common Sergeant pro ceeded to state, that at the last Sessions a young man was tried before him on a charge.of highway robbery. In that case, the person of the prose cutor was seriously injured by the violence of the gang of robbers by whom he was attacked. The persons who w cut to his assistance were also personally injured. On the present calendar, he found that there was a charge preferred against a man for having committed a highway robbery on the very same spot, and perhaps with the very same gang. In investigating these charges, the Jury, he did not doubt, would meet with no legal difficulties ; and he presented these cases to their notice, that the Jury and the pub lic might be aware, that if any of the cases were clearly proved, the Conrt would feel it their duty to visit upon the convicted the full sentence of the law. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MoNDAr, SErr.lo. CONSPIRACY. John Ravenscroft, Hannah Ravenscroft (the wife), Hannah Ravenscroft (the daughter), Daniel Ravenscroft, Nancy Wood ctick, and Thomas Hopley, were all indicted for wilfully and wickedly conspiring together to injure Jons ROBY in his pro fession of surgeon and - apothecary, by spreading various fitlse, wicked, and malicious reports that he•was an impostor, and ig nort,nt of his profession. The first five defendants are all of one family, and Thos. ' Hopley is an attorney. Mr. ALLEY opened the case on the part of the prosecution, and afterwards substantiated the facts by evidence. It appeared that the prosecutor; Mr. Roby, was a Gentleman practising as a surgeon and apothecary in Old street, St. Luke's, and it seemed had formed an acquaintance with Hannah Ravenscroft, the younger, one of the defendants, of a very.tender nature. It, however, unfortunately happened that the connexion was afterwards broken, and the prosecutor married another Lady. The six defendants then entered into a conspiracy to ruin the prosecutor in his business, and com inence&it by spreading various rumours of the incapacity and ignorance of Mr. Roby - in his profession. In August, 1015, a very salutary - Act of Parliament passed, which directed that, excepting those apothecaries then practising their business, no apothecary would be qualified to practise his profession unless he had taken a prnper degree, and - ha 'undergone a regular course of examination before proper authorities. Upon this in strument the defendants had throughout acted, and had pub lished placards in great abundance, headed " Caution," and then reciting a portion of the Act.. These had been distributed in all parts where the prosecutor actually did, or was likely to, practise. On the examination of the prosecutor, it appeared, that he had lived in Old-street for about A year and a half. Before • that, he had been in business at Chatham, and had afterwards lived at Plaistow with a Gentleman of the name of Greatorex, in the character of a companion, - and had . attended to his busi ness. He had now many patients Whom he attended, and their. families. Amon !y ; the numbpr were, the families of Mr. Col lins Mr. Davis, and Mr. Vicars. Can the cross-examination of the witness, he stated., that he served his time at Kenilworth, and was arliciedhf 1810. He was now 23 years of age. He went to Chatham in the early part of the year 1815. He there practised for himself, although only 17 years of age, but took no shop. Ile had never been be fore the Court of Examiners at Apothecaries'-hall. Many very respectable witnesses were then tailed, to prove the skill of the prosecutor, and his knowledge of the profession which he followed.. Among the witnesses were, Mr. Charles Greatorex, Mr. Rind, and'Dr. Forbes. Witnesses were then called to prove the conspiracy. Cather ine Collins proved that she lived in St. Luke's parish,. that she had been during her confinement attended by 51r. Roby, and considered him to be a very clever young man. Two of the defendants, Hannah Ravenscroft, and Nancy. Woodcock, had afterwards called at her house, and told her that Nr. Roby was neither an apothecary nor a •surgoon; and the rave defendants added, that a printed paper. would be sent from'Aprithecaries% hall, showing that he was not qualified. It was further proved by the husband of Mrs. Collins, that the der'endants, Daniel Ravenscroft and Thomas HOpley, had afterwards called at his house, in the absence Of his wife. They advised him not to pay the prosecutor's bill, and added, " If he oppresses you, you have nothing to do but to go into the Maishalsea Court, and ,one cause will decide all." This was said by the attorney. Elizabeth Davis stated, that she also had been attended pro fessionally by Mr. Roby, and had been called on by Hannah Ravenscroft and Nancy Woodcock. They told her that Mr. Roby was a great scoundrel and a good-for-nothing fellow ; that he was just come from the country, and had never gone through any degrees. Two gentlemen afterwards called at her house, who stated they came from .Apothecaries'-hall. One of those gentlemen was Mr. Ravenscroft ; she did not recollect the other. They told her, that if Mr. Ruby urged for the payment of his bill, she was not to pay him, for by an Act of Parliament passed in 1815, he was not entitled to it, not being qualified for the brsiness he professed. Other witnesses subsequently called, proved that Aannah Ravenscroft said, that when they (the family) returned from the Isle of Wight, they were determined to ruin Mr. Roby.— Nancy Woodcock also said, that nothing of this kind would have happened if Mr. Roby had not got married. The case for the prosecution here closed, and Mr. ADOL s addressed the - Jury at some length for the defendants.— Ile contended that nothing had been proved to warrant the Jury in finding a verdict of guilty against the defendants. It was, he admitted, shown that some words had dropped from the de fendants, in the heat of temper, which ought not to have been used ; but the Whole family hadi been drawn up to the bar of the Court by deliberate:malice (and he could call it nothing else) more as victims than as defendants. It had been .declared by the defendants, that Mr. Roby was not qualified to practice, and that by the act he was not entitled- to the payment of his bill. All this was perfectly and strictly true. The prosecutor had himself been compelled to admit that he was not practising before the passing Of the act, for no Jury on earth would believe that a boy of seventeen (and the prosecutor was in 1815 no older) was capable of practising in his profession. He might ,perhaps have quacked half a dozen sailors at Chatham, but that made him no more an apothecary than picking up a few rusty nails in the street made a man an ironmonger. He therefore contended that so far frOm being guilty of a 'conspiracy, the defendants had done no more than their duty to the public in acquainting the patients of this young man, of his incapacity to follow his pro fession. He would call no witnesses, but would leave the case in the hands of the Jury. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up to the Jury, told them that they must lay the act wholly out of their consideration, as it had nothing to do with the question. - The whole point was whether the defendants had actually conspired to injure the prosecutor in his business. If the prosecutor were not qualified, they had at least pursued the wrong course. The Jury, after a short consideration, found all the defend ants GUILTY. One of the defendants, Nancy Woodcock, was very far ad vanced in pregnancy, and cried very much when the verdict was pronounced. Hannah Ravenscroft, the daughter, nearly fainted. The Court, on account of the importance of the case, deferred its judgment until to-morrow. The male defendants were or dered into,custody ; the female defendants were allowed.to be at large, on entering proper recognizances. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN.—ANOTHER ST OLEN CHlLD.—Yes terday, Edward Hancock, a constable, residingatßattle-bridge, brought a fine boy, only eight years old, before the sitting Ma gistrate, to whom he related the following particulars :—About 8 o'clock on Saturday night, the boy was found crying in Maiden-lane, by a woman, of whom he inquired his. way to Romford. He had on neither hat, 'shoes, nor stockings.; and being asked how he came there, hegave the following account of himself :—He had, he said, no mother, and his father was at sea. He was placed at Mr. Perry's, boarding-school, at Romford. Last WedneSday week he had a half lic4yday, -to see the fair, when he met a man in a brown coat, who gave him a penny, and requested him to conic with him, promising he would give him some gingerbread, and show him the shows. He accordingly went with the man, who took him to a caravan, where he showed him a rattlesnake. There were three other men and a woman in the caravan. One of the men blew a trumpet ; they kept him all day, and at night drove off, taking him along with them. That night he and the man slept on Leytonstone. forest, and they sent the woman and the other man to London with the caravan. Next day they remained in the forest picking blackberries, on which he lived with the assist ance of a piece of Ted herring. They slept on the forest all that week. What the men-did in turns he could not say ; but one night he heard the watchman, and he called to him ; one of the men told him to hold his tongue or he would murder him. One of the men robbed him of his new shoes, stockings, hat, frill, and black handkerchief. On Saturday they arrived in London, and at night deserted him. in Maiden-lane, where he began to inquire his way to Remford. He was then brought to Hancock, the constable, who kept him ever since, and gave him shoes and stockings to appear in. He was a fine fair-headed child, and appeared well educated and accustomed to company. The Magistrates made him sit on a chair between themselves, whilst they examined him very strictly. He did not vary in the least in the statement delivered by the' constable. Ile was handed pen, ink, and paper, and desired to writehis name, and the school filoni whence he was enticed away. He- wrote in a very good hand " Mr. Perry's boarding school, Romford ; Wm. Brown." The Magistrates expressed their surprise that M 4. Perry had not advertised him, as he was takenaway a week last' Wednesday. The officers intimated they had a strong sus picion of the parties who took away the child,and thought they could apprehend them. The Magistrates ordered the officers to make every effort to take them, and desired Hancock to keep , the child that-he might be brought forward to prove, the ;ease, particularly of robbing him of his hat, shoes, stockings, and neckerchief, and to proceed instantly to Rorhford and acquaint Mr. Perry, which he promised, to do. Here the case rests at present. FRAUDULENT RE G ISTER-OFFICE.—Thos. Treslar, who kept a register office for hiring servants on Clerkenwell Green, was brought up . in the custody of William' Read, inn. for a second examination, charged by Elizabeth Moffat with unlaw fully, knowingly, and by false pretences, obtaining of her 3s. her money, with intent to cheat and defraud her of the same. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, an interest ing looking female, that she had paid the prisoner 3s. to pro cure her a situation ; that he had sent her to a Mrs. Sedgwick, Manor-place, "s'alworth; and upon her making application there, she learnt that Mrs.. Sedgwick had never been in want of a servant, nor had she given instructions to the prisoner' to provide her one. Three other charges of a similar nature were preferred against the prisoner, who was remanded till Friday next, when Mrs. Sedgwick and the other parties were ordered to attend. It is expected many other complaints will be pre ferred against the prisoner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORT UNATE A PPREHEN vox or A ROBBER.—Yesterday Thomas Narroway was charged, first, for causing nuisance, by allowing a drove of pigs to wander about the streets, which subjected him to a penalty of 40s. ; and secondly, with-a robbery under the follow ing circumstances :—lt appeared that abo'it one o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoner persuaded a private watchman in Carmarthen-street to take charge for some time (until he should refresh himself) of tome pigs, which he came with, along Tot tenham-court-road : he abandoned them until ten o'clock in the , morning, when on coming to demand them, lie was taken into custody, on suspicion of having stolen them, by Cousins, a constable of Pancras, and lodged in, the. watchhouse. On being taken before the -Magistrate, and no grounds appearing to cause his detention for felony, lie was discharged without even being convicted for the nuisance ; but had not been long Oat of the office, when Mr. Wells, a farmer, residing at Hendon, and who traced the fellow to town in pursuit of his pigs-, came to make application concerning the robbery, upon which the officers went in pursuit of the prisoner, and apprehended him just driving off the swine from where they had been confined : he was taken back handcuffed, and again put to the bar, and committed for the felony. MARY-LE-BONE OFFICE.--Yesterday George Smith, a fierce looking countryman, near seven feet high, dressed in a smock frock, was vut to the bar before the sitting Magistrate, John Rawlinson, Lsq. charged by Thomas Smith with robbing andfattempting to murder him. It appeared from the evidenc:: of the prosecutor, that lie was overseer to Mr. Maycock, a far mer, at Hammersmith, and resided at one of his master's films at Great Brent, near Greenford ; on Sunday evening, about six o'clock, he had gone out to dispose of his master's cattle for the night, and in his way hoMe he called at the Green Man, in the Uxbridge-road ;he was there met by the prisoner, ;holm& worked for the last three weeks under him ; he rerhamed there until near nine o'Clucli, when he departed for home across the fields; he had not.g9ne far before he was overtaken by the pri soner, who, while in conversation with him,' suddenly seized him by the collar, and demanded his money';' the prisoner dragged him under an oak tree and robbed him. of 2s. fid., all he had about him, and his watch. The prisoner was commit ted for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE.—lnformation had been received at this Office a short time ago, that several Noblemen had lost some valuable dogs since the commencement of the sporting season. G. Pople and Cooper subsequently discovered a gang of dog stealers residing at Chelsea, and they apprehended two of them: Amongst the dogs stolen were two pointers, the property of the Earl of Essex ; two fine setters, the property of Mr., Mellish; a brace of fine pointers, belonging to - a Gentleman in Queen square, and several others. One .of the gang went into the country in the character of a sportsman, and the, officers traced him to Cambridge, where they took him into custody. He sold several fine dogs on his travels, - andon 'the day he was ap prehended he received £lOO for two stolen: pointers; They brought him before a Magistrate, where the charge was proved, and he was committed to the 'House of Correction for six months. His companions are remanded. LONDON MARKETSg PRICE OF BREAD TEAS WEEK.
