COMMehoing at Cambridge, which has now become the traine e's:are of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be Armed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the London tad Birmingham Railway, where it will ccinamitnicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Strattord-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does not Interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Comi ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro ceed to Worcester. Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line. - .

SECRETARY—HaI-I'y Burrard Farnall, The Provisional Committee of tho North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pendin: between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Comthittee to determine on purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0901. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shorediteh, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give lull development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffle which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-opers'e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. i lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line ; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will he placed it immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a faci•ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the :greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenae will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,245, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thire.s of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic -daily is 30,89 t passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommudated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— Per Ann.

The capital, as now extended, will be divided lam 65,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share will be payable forthwith. A portion of the shares will be allotted to parties locally interested. The remainder will be distributed amongst the present shareholders and the public generally, upon application being made by them in a manner hereinafter mentioned. The Directors, in complienee with the advice •f their Parlia mentary Agents, deem it expedient, in consequence of the recent standing orders of the House of Lords, to require a deposi of 101. per cent. The shareholders are, therefore, requested, in order to carry this arrangement into effect, to deposit their scrip certificate with the Secretary, on or before the let of October next, in exchange for which they will obtain a certificate upon which the bankers of the Company will receive the amount of the difference payable, and, upon producing the receipt and signing the new Parliamentary Deeds, fresh scrip will be delivered to them.

A Court of Common Council was held on Thursday in the Guildhall, for the transaction of business. Considerable in terest was evinced, as the matter to be discussed involved the sale of Farringdon Market and the late Fleet Prison, for the purpose of converting them into termini for the Direct Lon don and Manchester, and the London and Birmingham Rail way Companies. There was also a motion upon the paper re , pecting the duties and salary of the Commissioner of the City Polide. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor having taken his seat. the minutes of the last Court were read. It was moved and carried that the Sheriffs take their seats within the bar. • The LORD MAYOR then notified to the Court that the Lord ➢favor elect bad expressed his willingness to take upon himself the office and duties of Lcrd Mayor. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Mr. l'Homns Lorr proposed that the thanks of the Court should be voted to the Lord Mayor, for the moderation and firmness he had exhibited in the course of the contest be tween the Court of Common Council and the Governors of Christ's Hospital. Several hon. members opposed the motion, on the ground that this was an improper period for such a vote, as the pro ceedings between the contending parties had not yet termi nal ed. The motion was ultimately withdrawn. RAILWAYS.—GRAND CENTRAL TERMINUS. The LORD MAYOR ELEcr presented a petition, pursuant to notice, from the Directors of the Direct London and Man chester Railway Company (Rastrick's line) for leave to pur chase the site of Farringdon-Market for a great central ter minus. As this was a very important subject he should re serve his observations till after the report of the Committee. The petition was then read as follows : "To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. " The humble petition of the Direct London and Man chester Railway Company. " Sheweth,—That your petitioners are about to apply to Parliament for an Act to enable them to construct a railroad from Manchester to London. That the Company hai been duly registered according to law, and that the whole of the requisite capital of five millions (with the exception of a very small portion of shares reserved for the owners on the line) has been subscribed, and that de posits amounting to upwards of 460,0001., have been duly paid. " That the Company is principally composed of traders, merchants, manufacturers, factors, and other persons con nected with the trade carried on between London and Man chester, and that it is found to be a matter of paramount im portance to the interests of trade and to the public accommo • dation, that a terminus to this railway should be established in the City of London, the locality to and from which four fifths of the trade and passenger traffic of Manchester pro ceeds. " That your petitit ners are anxious to treat with your Honourable Court, for the purchase of the site of Farringdon market, which, as your Petitioners are informed, is not re quired for the purposes for which it was originally designed. "That the plan by which your Petitioners propose to bring this railroad to Farringdon-market, will have the effect of raising the ground at Holborn-bridge, and will afford the requisite facilities for reducing the dangerous declivities of Skinner-street and Holborn-t ill, and rendering the carriage and foot-way from the crown of Holborn-hill to the summit of Skinner-street one of easy and safe ascent and descent. "That this plan likewise contemplates the removal of the low houses in Field-lane, and the improvement of the wretched property in the neighbouring district, and will add materially to the health and comfort of the inhabitants. That your petitioners are informed that it is probable that other Companies, who have projected the construction of certain railroads from the North, may desire also to esta blish a terminus in the vicinity of Farringdon-street and your petitioners are given to understand that abundant ac ocofmaingroedaatticoennmtraaly t b er e m fo i letn u d e, i e n v t a l i t i a a t b l l o e ca t l e ity al f l or p t a h rt e ie f e o . rmation Feel ing ennvinepd that qnels an cotabliailmcn6 ,roatu attiard great accommodation to the public, and be productive of advan tage to all parties concerned. Your petitioners, while they are anxious to negotiate with the Corporation for the pur chase of a site for their own erection, are prepared to concur with other parties similarly situated, to carry into execution a plan for the general accommodation of all. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray of your Honour able Court to permit them to treat for the purchase of the site of Farringdon -market for the purpose of a railroad ter minus." On the motion that the petition be referred to the improve ment Committee, this day appointed, Mr. HAMMON asked the petitioner whether there was any plan attached to the petition showing the course by which it was proposed the railroad should traverse the City? Mr. Dillon said that a plan had been prepared, but he had it not with him. Mr. HARRISON-4R what way do you mean immediately to approach Farringdon-market? Mr. Dillon answered that it was proposed that a line should be carried from the neighbourhood of Battle-bridge, running with the bed of the Fleet River; that it should come down a place called Field-lane, and there enter upon Hol born-bridge; and that the ground of Holborn-bridge should be raised 12 or 14 feet. It had been ascertained by former surveys that that was all that was required to render the as ent safe. If the Company could obtain from the Corpora tion a grant of the ground they would be most happy to contribute towards the improvement of Holborn-hill and Field-lane. Mr. LAWRENCE supported the petition. The corporation had been taught by experience that if they would not allow railways to come into the city, they would go elsewhere. Was any one at this time prepared to say that a railway should not come into that part of the city which was the most convenient of access? 250,0001. had been expended on Farringdon-market, from which the Corporation hardly re ceived as much as paid for the management, and the longer this state of things continued the greater would be the in jury. What was now proposed was to give life and activity to this unproductive spot, and to remove that neighbourhood which was a sink of iniquity. Lot them set about the matter with good will, and he had no doubt that the Corporation would be greatly benefited. Mr. HALL opposed the petition. Mr. R. TAYLOR said that the terminus would only be some ‘io or 30 yards within the City boundaries. Great part of the space required was already clear, the Commissioners for the improvement of the City having already pulled down more houses than was requisite. This proposal was not for the benefit of one Company only. What the Corporation had to look to was the convenience and prosperity of the City of London. The ride in an omnibus to or from a rail way station was generally the worst of the journey. For his own part he would rather go the whole way from Pad dington to Bath than from the City to Paddington in an omnibus. It was absurd to call that a London terminus which when you had come from Bath left you three or four miles from the City, in a perfect wilderness. Farringdon street was superfluously wide for any other purpose. He could answer for it that the people of the ward of Farringdon without would think it a godsend to have this terminus in their neighbourhood. The great inns mi. hotels already re gretted the establishment of the termini at a distance from the metropolis. At any rate no member of the Court could object to sending this petition to the Committee in order that they might inquire, and compare the different schemes, and make a report. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said that it was now time for the citizens of London to lay aside ancient prejudices. Man chester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Birmingham, now divided with them the prosperity of this time of movement. The citizens of London were increasing the beauty of their palaces, and they ought at the same time to endeavour to bring home more of that commerce which had caused those palaces to be built. Instead of deterihating the value of 'property, the formation of railroads would only increase it. The Hon. Member who was favourable to railroads at a short distance forgot that the commerce of London might be engrossed by cities which acted with greater vigour. He felt assured that to bring railroads into the City could not be otherwise than beneficial, and on that ground cordially supported the motion. Mr, GODSON moved, as an amendment, that the petition do lie on the table. Mr: flahliiitoN 6eettraled the motion. Mr. ANDERTON said that he ivaa one of thos e who had had strong objections to a railroad coming into the City of London, beet he had lived long enough to see his error. H e _a t ad se a e th th e e r believed that the same opinion httd existed in almost every reilthads as heat the towns as they could. It should l re collected that Farringdon-market was only arg o e enough large town ; and now they were all endeavouring to get be the for i Hi t h i li e i bburstihneess Birmingham,of onerai l a t y h e ; s b a a u t t i I N; (n e , hear.) He railways, also brought into the City. — termini to Smithfield. at Mr. Wist supported the petition. The complaint would suggest that a better plan would be to bring the pre sent was that the termini were so distant that goods could not be transmitted in the way in which they could be terans mitted if the termini were nearer the City , e hopedster e n r , and that the journey from the City to the termini was almost twi_c_e be as long as from the termini to the place of destination.

This was simply a petition asking for inquiry into that which was now revolutionising the country. It would be fully to wait until the Bills were ob tained, for the Corporation would then no longer be con sulted. This railway would go from St. Sepulchre's by a viaduct ; all the important business would be conducted • underground, while the spacious street would be left un touched. Mr. PRENDERGAST could not agree that the railway would injure business. As to dispersing the population, he should have no objection to dispersing the population of Field-lane, although some of them were his own constituents.—(A laugh.) He had been informed by those of his constituents who kept inns and coffee-houses that persons now went to inns and coffee-houses more in the neighbourhood of the railways, and not only that, but the business of the shops bad also suffered. If the petition were not entertained a good opportunity for removing the evil of the declivity of Holborn-hill would be lost. The amendment was then put and negatived, and the ori ginal motion for referring the petition to the Improvement Committee carried by a large majority. Mr. LAMBERT JONES then presented the following petition of the London and Birmingham Railway Company : " Showell', that your petitioners intend in the ensuing ses sion of Parliament, to apply for an Act to authorise an exten tien of their line of railway from their station at Camden town to Farringdon-t treet, with a terminus and depot pro posed to be made on part of the site of the Fleet Prison, and on land adjoing thereto. "That the object of such extension is to afford greater facilities thin at present exist to tLe trade of the City of London by affording the means of transit for passengers, goods, and merchandise between the seat of business in the heart of the metropolis and the manufacturing districts. "That the plans and sections of the proposed line are now in a state of great forwardness, and your petitioners will be ready to submit the same for the approval of any parties who may be deputed to inspect them on the part cf the Corporation. "That your petitioners are prepared to enter into immediate agreement for the purchase of such parts of the property be longing to the Corporation as may be required for the termi nus and line of the above proposed extension. "Tour petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that the sanc tion and support of the Corporation of the City of London may be given to the said project, and that leave may be given to your petitioners to purchase such land and buildings be longing to the Corporation as may be required for the purposes there.f." Mr. CREED, the Secretary of the Company, stated, in an swer to questions, that it would pass underskinner-street up to Islington by means of a tunnel, and would not disturb the surface. Neither Skinner-street, Aldersgate-street, nor Smith. field would be touched. Mr. HAnnisos observed that it should be understood that this petition was merely referred to the Committee for in quiry alone, and that if any other petitions were presented, they would be similarly referred. The petition was then ordered to be referred to the Com mittee, and the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAULBOROUGH-STREET. STREET ROBBERIES.— George Peers, George Bars ett, and Alfred Fair, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged by the police with attempting to pick pockets in Tottenham court-road, and with having violently resisted and assaulted the constables who took them into custody. From the statement of the police, it appeared that nume rous robberies had recently taken place, more particularly on Saturday nights, in Tottenham-court-road, when this -tho roughfare was more than usually crowded. These robberies were committed principally on females, whose fanciful mode of ;placing their pockets afforded unusual facilities for the successful attacks of the light-fingered tribe. The three pri soners were seen by one of the E division constables pushing and hustling several females in Tottenham-court-road last Saturday night. He watched them for some time, and having detected them attempting to rob more than one female, lie got assistance, and proceeded to apprehend them in Howland street. They all made resistance, more particularly Fair, who knocked down and kicked severely two of the constables. Evidence was given to show that Barrett was a convicted thief. • The prisoners denied the charge. Mr. HARDWICK said the prisoners had rendered themselves liable to twofold punishment. First, for being reputed thieves; and next, for assaulting the police in the execution of their duty. For the first offence he should send them to hard labour for three months, at the expiration of which time they. would be liable to the same terms of imprisonment for the assaults on the police, if the charge was brought forward. SOU 7 HWARK. SINGULAR CHARGE OF FELONY.—.Alfred Gaze, a young man, by trade a paper-hanger, was brought before Mr. Cot tingham, charged with stealing a curious snuff-box, manu factured from a deer's-hoof, the property of Mr. William Stacy, landlord of the Ship and t ilot, Bermondsey-wall, under the following rather singular circumstances : From the statement of the complainant, it appeared that, on Saturday last, the snuff. box was missed from a shelf on which it was usually kept in the bar of his house. He was afterwards informed that the snuff-box had been seen by a friend of his in the shop-window of a silversmith. The complainant immediately proceeded to the silversmith, and the latter, without hesitation, said the box had been left with hint to repair, and to have the name of Alfred Gaze engraved upon the lid. The complainant having ascertained the ad dress of that person. at once went to his lodgings in Ber mondsey-street, and he at once admitted that he left it there for repair, and was accordingly given into custody. The complainant added that at the station-house the prisoner gave a very singular account of the manner in which ho be came possessed of the article, the truth or falsehood of which he (the complainant) had no means of ascertaining. He was bound to say, however, that he had received an excel ent character of the accused. Mr. CorriNothutt now called upon the accused to give his explanation of the stolen box being traced to him. The prisoner said he was the owner of a very sagacious little dog, and that on the day in question he met it in the street running towards him, near his residence, with a cu riously made snuff-box in its mouth. When the dog came up to him he took the box out of his mouth and deposited it in his pocket. Being entirely ignorant of the owner, and finding chat it wanted some repairs, he left it at the silver smith's shop to have the hinges repaired and his name en graved on the lid. The MAGISTRATE said it was certainly a very singular way of accounting for the possession of an article that was al leged to have been stolen, and inquired if the dog was known to have thievish propensities. The prisoner said that his dog was very much in the habit of taking away small articles from houses, and that he was known before now to carry off shoei and stockings, and va rious things. Mr. CorriNGßast inquired if there was any person in court who knew the prisoner, when his landlord stepped forward, and in reply to the questions of the magistrate he gave the accused an excellent character. He also corrobo rated the fact of the do 7 being frequently known to run away with various articles before. That the prisoner in formed him of the circumstance of finding a curious snuff box in the animal's mouth, and of his leaving it to be repaired at a silversmith's shop, and that he made no secret of the matter, but mentioned it in the presence of several persons. The prisoner said he was not in the bar of the com plainant's house at all, and that the dog must either have found his way in there and taken the snuff-box, or ehe have picked it up in the street. Mr. CorrnectnAst said, that it was the prisoner's duty to have made every inquiry to find the owner of the box, after taking it from his dog, before he converted it to his own use. He was afraid th dog was encouraged in dishonest tricks; for he appeared, from all accounts, to be a very adept thief, and he might get his owner into a very serious scrape. However, it appeared the accused was a man of character, and that when he got the box he did not attempt any con cealment of it. With the recommendation, therefore, that the dog might be speedily broken of such tricks, he should discharge the complaint. The prisoner then left the court with his friends, the sil versmith having restored the snuff-box to the real owner. ,Lsl MB L7'll. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mrs. Rosetta Ann Robinson, who described herself as the wife of a barrister, and whose appear ance, from the very peculiar style of her dress, her tall and commanding figure, attracted the gaze of the numerous spec tators in Court, Jane Price Fish, and John ',Cheeseman Ross, were placed before Mr. Henry, on the following singular charge. Mr. Games attended on behalf of Mrs. Robinson. The short facts of the case were these :—Between the hours of one and two o'clock on Wednesday, the prisoners drove up to the King's Head tavern, at Norwood, in a gig, and getting out, they desired the ostler to take out the horse. They then went into the house, and requested to be shown to a private rootn, and they were taken to an ayartment on the first floor. The females went up stairs into a bedroom, but returned to their male companion in a few moments, and called for half a pint of gin, with which they were served. The prisoner Robin son made several inquiries about a fortune-teller in the neigh bourhood, and asked if 30s. would be a sufficient fee to have their fortunes told. They then left the house, and returned in about an hour, when they were shown into a room on th e ground floor, where they had another half-pint of gin. I Th e bindlady, Mrs. Mabley, saw the prisoner Robinson, who wa s dressed in a riding habit, with a hat and long veil, come down stairs, and leave the house in a hurried manner. This excited the landlady's suspicion, and caused her to go up to her bed-room, when she missed from her drawers a piece of satin. She instantly hurried down stairs, and sent the pot man after the prisoner to request she would return, but in stead of doing so she was going on towards town, and was ultimately taken into custody, and brought back to the King's Head. On being accused of stealing the satin, she replied, "If I have stolen it I must have been dreaming ;" but the daughter of Mrs. Mabley and another witness dis tinctly saw the prisoner throw the satin into a ditch, from which it was taken. The male prisoner, upon the accusation of felony being made against his companion, became most violent, struck the landlady and-her daughter, and also the policeman. After the witnesses had been examined in support of the accusation, a respectable -looking man entered the witness box and requested to be heard for a few minutes. Ho said that three weeks ago Mrs. Robinson and her hus band took apartments at his house, No. 19, Gloucester -street, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, and Mr. Robinson, he understood, was a professional gentleman, and was at present out of town. On the day before Mrs. Robinson invited his wife, who was one of the prisoners, to join her in a pic-nic party, and it appeared they left the house together, and he was astonished on receiving information on that morning that they were locked up in Brixton station-house. In reply to the question of Mr. HENRY, Mr. Fish said he bad not seen Mr. Robinson himself, but he understood him to be " in the law," and the female prisoner Robinson, whom he had represented to be his wife, had always conducted her self, up to the present, as far as be could - learn,swith great propriety. Mr. Yeomans, a livery-stable keeper in Guildford-street, Russell-square, said that Mr. Robinson, the husband of the female prisoner of that name, had been in the habit of keep ing his horses at his stables for some years, and at present had two horses and a pony there. Last week he received a note from Mr. Robinson, stating that he was going to the country, and requesting he would take great care of his horses in his absence. On Sunday last he received directions from Mrs. Robinson to have a horse and gig, and her pony, with a side-saddle, at her door on Wednesday morning She then stated that herself and another lady and gentlemanwere going to Epping Forest on a pic-nic party, and that as Mr. Ross, the gentleman who was to accompany her, was rather an indifferent whip, she requested a steady horse might be put in the gig, and not one of her husband's, as they were too fresh to be driven by her friend Ross. He (Mr. Yeomans) accordingly sent a horse of his own in the gig, and the pony with a side-saddle, to 19, Gloucester-street, Queen-square, and he heard no more about them till that morning, when he found the prisoners locked up, and his horse and gig detained at the King's Head. Mr. HENRY inquired what had become of the pony, and one of the constables said, that from what he had learned, it appeared that on riding along the Blackfriars-road the pony fell under Mrs. Robinson, and so injured its knees that she lett is at Wilson's livery stables, and rode in the gig with her com panions. Mrs. Robinson, in reply to the charge, said she must have taken the piece of satin from the room in the fells of her riding habit by mist«ke, as she never could have thought of stealing it. bhe was married, she said, to Mr. Robinson, who is a law student., in the Isle of Wight, last summer, but she did not recollect the name of the church where the ceiemony was performed. Ross said be had been a manufacturer of sail cloth some , time ago, but 1 ‘st all his money, and was living at present by agencies. lle knew Mrs. Robinson to be a lady of re spectability, and he undeistood of large property, and he considered her quite incnable of being guilty of the offence laid to her charge. Mr. HENRY committed Mrs. Robinson to take her trial on the charge of fiouy, and Ross also to tike his trial for tl.e assault a the Surrey sessions. Ales. Fish was discharged. The prisoners will be brought up again on Monday. WOR SHIP-S TREET, BASE ItionATITuDE.—A man named John Hopkins was placed at the bar, fur tinalexamination, charged with having stolen a quantity of household furniture and wearing ap parel, the property of James Freeman, a cab driver, under the following very aggravating and peculiar circumstances. H. appeared from the statemeot of the prosecutor, that about n.ur months ago he accidentally became acquainted with the prisoner, who represented himself to be in a state. of utter destitution, and worked upon his feelings with such a rite( us tale of distress, that he not only :Monied him im mediate thief, but agreed to receive him as au inmate in his own house, until he was able to retrieve his circumstances.. The prisoner had only lived a short time under his roof; how ever, when he observed sufficient to convince hint that he had grossly abused his hospitality, and availed himself of the oppor Lnitits it presented to cultivate an improper ins . l.- mt;cy with his wife, and he accordingly gave him notice to seek another abode. On the morning after this intimation had been given, he was astonished to find on returning flume from his night's labour, that his wife and the prisoner had eloped together, taking with them everything lie possessed, including even his clotoes and bed, and lied left nothing but the bare wall. He gave immediate information of the robbery to the police, and the fugitives were traced to a house in Alarman-street, Commercial-road, where the greater part of the stolen property was discovered, and the prisoner who had on him a waistcoat belonging to the prosecutor was immediately given into custody. William Long, a carman, proved that he had been em ployed by the prosecutor's wife to remove the property in a van from her husband's house, and that he was joined at the end of the street by the prisoner, wno, on their arrival at the Commercial-road, assisted in unloading the van, and de positing the goods in the house where they were afterwards discovered. _ _ _ _ In answer to the charge the prisoner declared that the wife had retained possession of the property, and denied having himself exercised any ownership over it, or taken part in its rem oval. Mr. BROUGHTON severely animadverted upon the gross in gratitude the prisoner had displayed towards the man who had befriended him in his utmost need, and ordered him to be fully committed on the el'aige of felony.
