something about a register, but I cannot tell what, after she had remained in the lodging in Francis street some time. She returned home with me, and one morning she gave me a thousand pound note to look at. It was the first I had ever seen, and I took it into the shop to show to Mr. Dorey, and afterwards re turned it to her again. Soon afterwards my sister returned to Bristol, and I heard nothing more of the matter until I saw by the newspapers that Fletcher and Barber were in custody. I should im mediately have given to the prosecutors all the infor mation I knew (had it not been that my sister was implicated, and suffering under severe illness), I felt so assured that Fletcher had nearly all through my life been playing on my credulity. I have, in this statement, given an account of all the money that I ever received for what I did for Fletcher, or any one connected with him. I know nothing more of his transactions, or anything of moment relating to hi m , other than a rel a ti on called on me in Oxford-street a few days pr ev i ous t o my b e i ng apprehended bey Fo rrester, and told me that he came by Fletcher s wish to inform me that the officer was coming to ex amine me. He also said that Fletcher had been getting plenty of money, for he had, within the last day or two, made over property to the amount of nine or ten thousand pounds belonging to Fletcher, and if Fletcher was sentenced to transportation, he should not be sent out of the country, for he would provide him with some prussic acid. I have never in my life given the least information to any individual regarding Fletcher's transactions, or what I had done - from his advice. \lr. Dorey (my husband) was per fectly ignorant of all my transactions up to the mo ment of Forrester taking me. " GEORGIANA DOREY, " Giltspur-street Prison, Feb. 28, 1844. " My mother's name was Susannah Combs." THE HORTICITLTURAL FETE, CHISWICK. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather, and the little temptation for promenading which the rain and the wind presented, there was a tolerably Strong muster of the nobility and people of rank and fashion on Saturday, at the Horticultural Society's grounds at Chiswick, and a great number of carriages were drawn up at the entrance gates. This being the first shtiw for the season, and the season having been a forward one, the specimens of fruits, flowers, and plants were remarkably good. The pines, strawberries, cl:er ries, and grapes were all fine ; the strawberries, in par ticular, were peculiarly splendid. The collections of pelargoniums (the old name revived for geraniums) were remarkable for brilliancy of colour and size of blossom. The roses were also good, particularly the moss roses. There were some very rare specimens of orchidaceous plants, and some noble specimens of tropical plants. Alto gether the show was a good One. The company found the advantage of the elegant and commodious marquees erected by Mr. Benjamin Edgington, of Duke-street, Borough, and were glad to cluster together beneath them to avoid the cold and the wind. There were three military bands, viz., the Coldstream band the Scots Fusilier s ' b an d, an d the b and of the Blues, who played some well-selected music.

Our readers are aware that her Majesty's steamer Blazer, Captain Washington, has for some weeks bark been engaged on the same service on this coast, taking soundings, &e., preliminary to the personal survey of the Commissioners. On Tuesday morning the Com nil3Bloll (which consists of the following members : Admiral Sir I3yam Martin, Lieut.-General Sir Howard Douglas, Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, Captain Sy monds, Captain John Washington, Lieut.-Colonel Col quhoun, Lieut.-Colonel Alderson, Sir John Pelly, Cap tain Fisher, and James Walker, Esq., President of the Society of Civil Engineers,) embarked on board the Blazer, and proceeded -to Ramsgate and Foreness, to procure ocular proof a..the nature of the coast. On Wednesday they visited Dungeness, and surveyed the coast there. On Thursday a number of witnesses were examined at Dover, touching the capabilities of the dif ferent points of tho coast for Refuge Harbours; and yes terday morning they proceeded in the Blazer towards Brighton, on a similar mission. Since the report of the first Commission on this subject in 1840, we have been more than sanguine that Dover would be the first port selected as a site for a Harbour of Refuge ; and, from all that we can learn, its chance of being so has increased r y.—Dover Chronicle of Satu r d ay. by subsequent inqui It has been announced in the daily papers k that the appointment of Mater of the Royal buc hounds, filled had been abolished by her Ma by, the Earl of Roslyn, oesty, and that the whole establishment over which his ntinued.

ON WHIT-MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND TUESDAY, THURSDAY. Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels Justified in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions it now presents. The Gardens have been completely renovated, Statues and Fountains introduced, new and extensive Promenades snned, and the most lavish expenditure in every department, wilt evince the Iroprietor's anxiety to insure a continuarce of public Patronage. THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME! Painted by Hanson and Telbin, is the most gigantic achievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur of composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient London—Old St. Paul's—Old London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo dern times. THE MENAGERIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED, HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADD I T IONS . To defy all competition, the Proprietor has engaged the celebrated AMERICAN DWARF TJM THUMB! now exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. The PROMENADE CONCERTS—the splendid Band of . Fifty Performers, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of the newest and most popular music. The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are also engaged, and will go through two acts of their National Dances, which procured for them the distinguished approbation of her Majesty and Prince Albert at Taymouth Castle And at Dusk will take place the most astounding exhibition ever attempted, viz., a Representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Mr. Southby (to whom in justice belongs the appellation of" Fire King") has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this exhibition. London Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, and other Buildings will appear devoured by the devastating element, and present a heap of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best delineations taken at the period, and the coup d'teil will give a vivid representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.

Our readers may perhaps remember that some five or six years ago, Sir ROBERT PEEL being in want of a clap-trap for the House of Commons—a want, by the bye, which he seldom experiences—and anxious to show Parliament and the public how great was the political influence which he had exercised, even though " withering in the cold shade" of Opposition —to use Colonel NAPIERS expressive phrase—since the period of the Reform Bill ;—the Premier, we say, panting for an opportunity to show off, suddenly took it into his head one night to boast of the great and increasing Conservative party which he had built up, amid a world of difficulties, out of the wreck of Toryism. No man sounds the trumpet of self laudation with so much skill and apparent bashful ness as Sir ROBERT PEEL, and accordingly, on the occasion to which we refer, he was listened to with marked deference, and the most im plicit reliance was placed on his statement. He had found the party in question, he told the House, depressed—diminished —divided—and scat tered to the four winds of Heaven ; there was not one single bond of union remaining among them ; they were filled with regrets for the past, and with doubts of the future ; they acknowledged no direct chief; they proposed no great aim or object, but drifted about, like some shattered vessel without a pilot, at the mercy of the winds and waves. But he—the Premier—took this weakened and discomfited party under his own special care, and from that auspicious moment all was changed. having got them duly baptised as " Conservatives," the Quarterly Review officiating at the political font, he next proceeded to infuse courage and confidence into them by his own example ; and having succeeded with much trouble in rallying and uniting them under his own banner, he led them - forth to battle against the Whigs, and, after a long struggle, suc ceeded in displacing them. There was much truth in this statement of Sir ROBERT PBEL, though it was not true to the extent he would have the world be lieve. He certainly did succeed in rallying the scat tered Conservatives, and increasing both their nu merical and political strength; he certainly did build up a powerful party out of the mutilated fragments— the " disjecta membra"—of Toryism ; but this was owing infinitely more to circumstances than to the force and influence of his own individual character. He was not elected by the Conservatives as their chief, of their own free will—from their own strong, innate conviction of his intellectual and moral fitness for the post; but he was elected by them as a matter of neces sity—because, in fact, they could not help themselves. It was Honsoles choice with them. They must either place themselves under the guidance of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or else consent to be wholly extin guished as a political authority. This, of course, was not to be thought of, and accordingly with apparent good will, but much real reluctance, they surrendered up what little conscience they had left, uncondition- ally, into the Premier's keeping. From that day to the present they have not dared to uphold one single principle but such as he approved of. Wherever he has led—no matter what might be the direction—there they have followed. He has dragged them through the dirt without the slightest ceremony —indeed be even seems to take a malicious pleasure in covering them with shame and confusion ; he has made them recant their most cherished doctrines ; falsify their most sacred pledges ; think only as he thinks; and act only as he acts. He is the substance and they are the shadow ! They have no life but in him. From a party of desperate but honest and con sistent bigots he has converted them into a party of mere expediency-mongers, who, lost to prin ciple and character, are ready to take any colour, and adopt any change that may suit the caprice of the times, or the interests of the Premier. Oh, what a flail—what a degradation for the once proud, consistent, dominant, Tory fraternity I Are these cringing, cowardly, Conservative slaves, who, like spaniels fawn upon the very hand that lashes ;hem, the same men who for so many years swayed the destinies of England just according to their own sovereign will and pleasure ? In their present cha racter we can scarcely recognise a single trait that belonged to the Tories; and still less can we recog nise in them a trace of what they once were, when we find them acting without a murmur as the ready, sup ple tools of a man whom at heart they distrust and hate, as much as they fear him—a man who first helped to break up their unity and weaken their strength ; and then, when he had rendered them sufficiently de fenceless and tractable for his purpose, made them the veriest slaves of his will, heaped upon them shame upon shame, humiliation on humiliation, and finally succeeded in stamping on their pliant, ductile nature, the ineffaceable impress of his own individual will. By their pitiful conduct on the Factories Bill, the Conservatives have for ever sunk themselves in the estimation of the country. This is the " damn ing spot " on their fame, which no after-penitence will ever wipe away. Justly—most justly observes the Times of this morning, in reference to their un-, blushing tergiversation on this question, " it is re solved by all Englishmen, nem. con., that the Con servatives have betrayed the people, and utterly done for themselves. Their most devoted friends are speechless. Their ordinary adherents and allies give way to angry or sorrowful reclamations. Their foes are derisive. Some of the deepest and most bitter, having cautiously compressed the lip of scorn till the deed was done, and even helped to seduce the Conservatives to their doom, now break out into every species of contumely, at the unquestionable motives of their conduct." It is a sad—a humiliating thing for England, that she should be governed by the votes of such an abject, sycophantic, PEEL-ridden party. But we have confidence in the old French proverb--" Le bon temps viendra In the classification which posterity will make of the statesmen of this century, Mr. President TYLER and his political supporters in the Legislature of the United States of America, will possibly occupy an ignominious rank. They may achieve that bastard notoriety which is no genuine progeny of the love of true fame ; but they will be known only to be scorned—remembered, but to be held up to the exe cration of those who would advocate the rights of human freedom, in the individual, and the integrity of national guarantees for the masses. These rights and guarantees it has long been the deliberate aim of the PRESIDENT and his faction to violate, audaciously and openly, for the purposes of his own aggrandize ment, and the extension of their influence in the American Congress. But even their complete success would but secure them a niche among the "receivers of stolen goods" whom the consent of all mankind ranks among the most mis chievous pests of society, whether in states or muni cipal communities. They are taking from Texas that which, while there is no Texian people to give away, Mexico rightly reclaims as her own property. And all this time they are allied with Mexico? From the answer of the Earl of ABERDEEN to Lord BROUGHAM'S question of Friday evening last, in the House of Peers, it seems that a treaty between the Government of the United States and that of Texas has actually been signed by President TYLER for the annexation of the great territory of Texas to the already enormous dominions of the Federal Union. To give validity to this act on the part of the principal organ of the United States' Go vernment, it seems, indeed, that it must be ratified by the affirmative votes of two-thirds of the Senate; and we are rejoiced to find that there exists so marked a dissent from the views of the PRESIDENT on this subject, in a most extensive and influential party in Congress, who have already protested against such an annexation, that Mr. TYLER is likely, after all, to be out-voted in his efforts to carry through this scandalous affair. We call it scandalous for many reasons :—of these the most apparent and incon testible is, that it is a scheme for adding either three or seven new States (for such, according to Mr. O'CoNNELL's information, are the two territorial divi sions proposed) to the existing Union, and thereby oversetting the present equalized balance of influence between the northern and southern—the free and the slave-holding States. To these last, in which negro slavery exists under its most cruel, immoral, and revolting forms, the annexation of Texas, a new southern acquisition lying on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, would give not merely a prepon derance, but a permanent swamping control over the wishes and opinions, the practice and the policy of the northern States on the sub ject of slavery. The same influence would of course predominate in determining the whole social and political relations of the Union. There would thus be worked an absolute, organic change on the very principle of the Federal Constitution ; the development of which, in the course of a very few years, would certainly manifest itself in a secession of the northern from the southern members of the Federation. But the aspect under which the case presents itself to other Governments, especially to that of Great Britain, is the immediate matter for our considera tion. We have very lately, in speaking of the geo graphical importance of our position in the West Indies, remarked on the degree in which it gave us the command of the entrance into the Gulf of Mexico, and the trade of enormous regions of North and South America. But an inspection of the coast line of Texas, will show how vast an accession of sea coast on the Gulf the United States would acquire, and the facilities they would com mand of increasing slave importation into their southern territories, and carrying on the execrable trade in slaves to any extent which the slave holding majority of their Legislature might then be disposed, covertly or openly, to sanction. For all preventive purposes as to slave-trading, the position we have spoken of, hitherto invaluable as one of observa tion, would be, as it were, outflanked by this enlarged maritime frontier of the States. In relation to the slave-trade question, therefore, it is difficult to imagine how—with any regard to her own honour, with any consistency in that vindication of the faith of treaties, for which she is justly renowned throughout the world ; with any sincere determination to uphold the spirit, and propagate the example, of her own illus trious proceeedings in the suppression of slavery through her colonial dominions—England could avoid a hos tile collision with the United States, were this annexation carried into effect. But the complicated difficulties which such an annexation of Texas would introduce into our specific relations with the United States, would not have terminated, were all these perils obviated, and these causes of mutual alarm and jealousy removed. So true was the observation of Lord ABERDEEN, that " this was a question new and unexampled in the history of public law." Mexico is an independent state. We are in amity with her, and have long kept up diplomatic connections with her. The republic of Texas has avowed and fought for its in dependence, as a State. We have so far recognised her claim to virtual independence as to have accre dited Consuls and agents to her Government, with which, also, we are on terms of amity. But Mexico claims Texas as an integer of her own republican do minion. She has, up to this time, prosecuted that claim, and regards the Texian Government and its subjects as contumacious rebels. She has never given her consent to any proposed transfer of her rights of sovereignty over Texas. Can we preserve friendly relations with the Power which still reclaims this se parated State as a revolted dependent, at the same time that we maintain them with another Power which absorbs and receives into its own dominions such se parated State, on the plea of the voluntary proposal of the latter in the character of a free and indepen dent State ? These are the political accidents of the affair, with which it may one day become so perplexing to deal. There can be no mistake about the motives and the objects which have precipitated its present aspect. They are, beyond all doubt, on the part of the American PRESIDENT and his supporters, the reckless suggestions of an unprincipled and criminal, but paltry attempt to secure a longer lease of power in the Government of the United States, by sacrifices however base, and pandering to the excited passions of the populace—at a cost however frightful, of the blood of nations, and the best interests of humanity and civilisation. Madrid papers of the 10th and 11th inst. have been received, but as usual they are very barren of intelli gence. The QUEEN and the rest of the Royal Family on the 20th were to set out for Barcelona, on her way to the baths of Caldas, where she would re main for a considerable part of the summer. The Cortes of course would not be convoked till her re turn. Great preparations were made at Barcelona for her reception. " This morning," says a Barcelona paper of the 12th, " an extraordinary courier arrived from Madrid, when the news immediately spread that their Majesties will arrive in this capital at the end of the month. We learn that the City of Madrid steamer has been ordered to Valencia, where two other steamers are to be on the 19th. We daily ex pect in this port two English line-of-battle ships and a frigate, as well as some French ships of war." On the 10th Queen CHRISTINA reviewed the regi ment of which she is Colonel, and conferred several orders on both soldiers and officers. The Funds have fallen still lower. On the 11th the Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 27i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days, with premium. The pamphlet of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, on the state of the French navy, has caused much excite ment in Paris, and furnishes subjects of remark in nearly all the papers. Some of them had published it at length. According to the Constitutionnel, it has created in the political world, and particularly amongst the officers of the French navy, the utmost sensation; and the Journal des Debats says it will raise very grave questions in the forthcoming discus sions on the navy estimates. It is believed that a considerable increase of the estimates for the navy will be proposed by the Minister of Marine. A sup plementary vote of credit is also required for Algiers. It will be seen from the following extract, taken from the Moniteur Algerine, that the Duke D'AUMALE is carrying on operations in that country with consider able. activity : " The last accounts of the military operations of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale are of the 3d inst. The Prince having learned that a great meeting was taking place in the Aures, with a view to an attack upon our camp, and the Ouled-Sultan tribe having disappeared, his Royal Highness proceeded with great rapidity towards that point with all his cavalry. This rapid march produced the desired effect, for the tribes dispersed, and most of them are said to be desirous of treating for their submission. In an engagement which took place on the 24th ult., with the Kabailes, the thick fog, that prevailed having caused a panic amongst the goum, who marched at the flank of the column, the Kabaile cavalry throwing themselves upon the Arab convoy, caused some dis order, but they were repulsed with considerable loss. On our side we have to regret the loss of twenty-one killed, amongst whom was one officer, the brave Commandant Gallias." It is stated, says the National, that the Deputies of all shades of opinion in the Chamber have decided that the proposition made last year by M. D E LAROCHEJACQUELIN, that no members interested in any line of railroad, either as shareholders or as directors, shall take any part in the votes of the dif ferent lines to be granted, is to be again brought for ward in a few days, and that all Deputies having any personal interest in railroads will be invited to sign a declaration to this effect. The Funds remained firm. On the 17th the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 60c., and the Fives at 122 f. 30c. THE BOURSE-FRIDAY, MAY 17. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

OUTRAGE ON A BRITISH SUBJECT. (Abridged from a Second Edition of the Times.) By her Majesty's steam-packet Pacha, G. Wilson, Com mander, which arrived at Southampton yesterday evening, we have received intelligence—from Gibraltar, May 10; Cadiz, May 11; Lisbon, May 13 ; Oporto May 14 ; and Vigo, May 15. The Pacha has brought 44 passengers. LISBON, TUESDAY, MAY 14. A fresh, and, if possible, more atrocious outrage upon the rights of British subjects than that in the case of Mr. Fletcher, arising from Senhor Cabral's " suspension of the guarantees," is now in the course of perpetration upon a victim of equal respectability, Mr. John Alfred Tozer, of Coimbra, brother to the British Consul at Figueira. Mr. Tozer has now been thirty days under arrest, and dragged during that period through no fewer than six Portuguese prisons; one the com mon felons' calabonco, or dungeon, at Coimbra; another the Limoeiro, or ordinary felons' gaol, in Lisbon, sickened with noisome exhalations, and literally covered with vermin from the persons of his convict associates, a fact which can be proved on oath ; and up to the present moment no formal act of accu sation nor specific charge has been preferred against him, nor any allegation but the vague one that he was concerned in bribing some soldiers at Coimbra to join the insurgents in Almeida, a charge which, on the two sergeants who affirmed it having been a second time questioned, dwindled down to the still vaguer statement, that he was present when money was offered them. Mr. Tozer is an independent merchant, with no motive whatever to mix himself up in the conta minating politics of Portugal, and the secret of his arrest and degradation (for no amende can prove a compensation to feelings outraged by a forced association during 30 days with the felons, foal air, and vermin of filthy Portuguese dun geons, of six of which he has now had experience) will be Erobably found in the fact of his having in a manly and nglish, but incautious manner, expressed in society his opinion of the unconstitutional and despotic proceedings of the rulers of the day. From the first, Mr. Tozer demanded to be brought to immediate trial, a demand which, on va rious pretences has been systematically refused to the pre sent time. The correspondence between the British Consul at Figueira and the Civil Governor, produced no results, and Mr. Tozer, has been sent to Lisbon, and is confined in the Castle. This is the fou teenth day of his incarceration in the metropolis : and so active have been the movements of the authorities, both Portuguese and British, that we are not yet informed whether any steps have been taken to transfer his case to the Conservatorial Court. It is stated, that as the drse has been referred to the Government, he cannot be released without a Royal order. A. circular has been issued from the Home-office to various municipal chambers, acknowledging their congratulations upon " the termination of the civil war newly kindled in the country by the most scandalous am bition." The decision to postpone the meeting of the Cortes to the Ist of November has been prudently re voked, it being held too monstrous to falsify Senhor Cabral's solemn declaration that he would "immediately render to the Chambers an account of his use of the extraordinary powers conceded to him." We shall have stormy debates on the 23d inst. Baron Tozal has secured the active co-opera tion of the leading members of the Finance Committees of both Chambers now in Lisbon, by which means his financial projects will have undergone an attentive consideration pre paratory to the meeting of the Cortes, and fresh delays will be avoided. The regiments which participated in the late revolt are thus punished by Royal decree :—The 12th In fantry and Ist Rifles have their numbers changed respectively to the" 17th Infantry" and the "9th Rifles." The existing corps are nominally dissolve but will be immediately re formed, and consist of the same loyal characters. The 4th Dragoons, who originated the rebellion at Torres Novas, are, without change of designation, to have their head-quarters henceforth at Santarem, and the Bth Dragoons to have theirs in Castello Braves. Great apprehensions bad prevailed that the continued drought would have a bad effect on the har vest, but several showers lately have removed these fears, and restored prices which were rising to their usual level. The orange crop has however been ruined. CLERKENWELL.--(THIS DAY.) William James Birdseye, a cab-driver, badge 3,319, was charged with furious driving. - It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday evening last the prisoner was driving so furiously down Exmouth street, that foot passengers and truck-drawers were obliged to leave the road and crowd upon the pavement. One of the waggons of Messrs. Pickford, the eminent carriers, was coming down the street, and the driver- of it had just time to draw in by the footway, so that the shaft of the prisoner's cab nearly grazed the breast of Messrs. Pickford's horse. The cab, however, came in collision with the cart, and with such violence that two of the springs of the cart were broken, damage being done to the amount of 11. The prisoner was remanded. A seiman, named Thomas Moran, was charged with being drunk and assaulting police-constable 262 N. In three weeks the prisoner contrived to spend the gum of 151., which he earned in a voyage to and from the East Indies. Last night he was fighting with some Irishmen, when the officer interfered. The prisoner struck him on the face.—He was fined 55., or three days' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Mary Croney, an old and very irascible lady, from the sister island, who oscillates between this Court and the House of Correction, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, on the following charge : Mr. William Burney, tea-dealer, Upper Marylebone-street, said that about half-past eleven on Saturday evening the pri soner came into his place and threw herself into a chair. She took a leisurely survey of his customers, and then " opened upon them." Having exhausted her spleen a little she left, but soon returned and threw a large stone through one of his squares of glass. He fortunately caught her arm as she was about to send a second through, and then gave her in charge to a policeman. Mr. R.s.wuNsox—What was her motive for all this vio lence ? Mr. Burney could not inform him, but Mary herself said it was " rivinge." On being questioned as to what par ticular offence the complainant had given her, it ap peared that she had determined on war to the knife with the whole human family. Mr. RAWLINSON said it was a pity that some workhouse did not take the lost unfortunate within its walls. The worthy Magistrate then ordered her to pay the amount of damage, 55., or go back to her old quarters for another month. Mary Clark, a wretched looking woman, was charged with begging. Police-constable 33 D said, that at half-past nine on Sun day morning he was on duty at the Spanish Chapel, Man chester-square, and when the worshippers were dismissed he observed the prisoner run over and commence begging. When his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador came out, she planted herself right before him, and he was obliged to stop He (witness) took her into custody. She carried a broom on pretence of sweeping a crossing, but she in reality never did so. The poor creature, who appeared scarcely able to stand, said that she had earned a livelihood by sweeping crossings, and attending at the Spanish Chapel, for the last four years, as she was so badly in health that she could not do any- thing else. Mr. RAWLISSON said that as she did not look well, he would not send her to prison. He therefore cautioned and discharged her. Richard Smith, a simple-looking fellow, servant to M r . Garrett, at present living at 227, Regent-street, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch-key, value 2s. 6d., from the shop of Jacobo Vego, 12, Oxford -street. The evidence was given at great length, but Mr. RawuN• SON thought, as some doubt rested on the case, and as the prisoner's master, who was present in Court, gave him a most excellent character for a three years' servitude, lie would dis charge him ; and hoped the narrow escape he had of not being sent before a jury, would act as a caution to him in future transactions. The prisoner, whose disgraceful position seemed greatly to affect him, then left the Court. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Ann White, a prostitute, who for some years past has spent nine months out of the twelve in the House of Correction, was charged with insisting upon coming into the station house at ten o'clock yesterday morning. She was repeatedly told to go away, but would not do so, and made use of the most obscene language, and spat in the faces of the police. She was drunk, and was ultimately locked up. The defendant, who has been a fine looking young woman, said she had been drinking hard, and came to see a friend who was incarcerated in one of the cells of the office. The MAGISTRATE said he had wasted a great many words of caution on her which had had no effect. She must pay a fine of 10s. or be committed for twenty-one days. The fine not being forthcoming she was locked up. A woman about thirty-five years of age, dressed in a clean calico gown, and who gave the name of Sophia Harris, was charged with being found asleep in a doorway in Market street, last night. The poor creature said she was born in Worcestershire, but came to London when she was eight years old, and had been brought up by an old lady (her parents had died when she was very young). The old lady died many years ago. She had been married, having lost her husband about three years ago. Ho was a plumber and glazier. After his death she rented a house in a court running out of the Strand, and endeavoured to support herself by carrying on a small chand ler's shop, but in this she was unsuccessful, and was obliged to sell her furniture and every-thing she possessed. She added that she could scarcely tell how she had supported herself for the last twelve months. She had pledged all her clothes except those she wore, and afterwards sold the du plicates. Six weeks ago she occupied lodgings in Chelsea, but had walked about for the last three days, and slept in the streets at night. Mr. BOND asked her if she had any objection to go to the workhouse? The woman, bursting into tears, said she would rather go there than wander about the streets. Mr. BOND directed an officer to take her to the workhouse. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The demand, for English 'Wheat was in a sluggish state. The finest qualities found buyers at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last; but, in the value of the middling and inferior kinds, an abatement took place in most instances of is per quarter. Since Monday last the present duty of 17s per quarter has been paid on about 3,500 quarters of Foreign Wheat. The best descriptions of both red and white sup ported previous rates, but inferior parcels on somewhat easier terms. Foreign Barley realised late rates. Malt at unaltered quotations. Oats at last week's figures. Beans at an advance of is per quarter. White Peas were is dearer. The value of other kinds was supported. Flour at previous figures. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The Mut ton trade was very firm, at a rise on last week's quotations of from 2d to 4d per 81bs, the best old Downs, out of the wool, producing 4s per 8113 s ; Kents and Kentish half-breds, 3s 6d to 3s 8d per 81bs.

Since this day se'nnight, nearly 3,000 bales of wool have been imported into London from New South Wales, but the arrivals from other quarters have been lifnited. By private contract very little business is doing at late rates. BOROUGH HOP MARZZT. The accounts from the plantatijnsTlTill77mlTig very un favourable, an alarming increase of fly being apparent amongst the young bine, the demand for all kinds of hops is active, and last week's advanced rates of from 8s to 103 per cwt are fairly supported. So small a quantity of hops on offer in this market has not been known for upwards of 25 years as at this moment. TALLOW. We have no alteration to notice respecting prices for Tal low. The demand for Y.C. during the week has been very limited; other descriptions, such as South American, New South Wales, Town Tallow, &c., being considerably less in price, naturally throws the demand on them. In New Y.C. there is very little business doing, and the price is 41s. 6d. for the last three months, at which there are good buyers. Town Tallow is 395. to 395. 6d. net cash. MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a very dull market for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, and the tendency of prices was still downwards. Sales only 2,500 bales, of which speculators only took 300. Shares are rather better, and there were buyers of the prin cipal lines. Eastern Counties, 1 2 / 4 ; Birmingham, 226 ; Ditto, Thirds, 88 ; Brighton, 454 ; South-Western, 874 ; Midland Counties, 894; North Midland, Half, 45; Paris and Lyons, 3/. Is. 6d. ; South-Eastern, 381 ; Ditto, New, 121. Accounts from the North of England state, in reference to the corn trade, that the demand for foreign wheat is slow, and not much business has passed therein at Hall - during the past week ; what has taken place has been at lower rates ; the same remarks apply to barley, but the other descriptions of spring corn are held with more firmness. The supplies of wheat and barley from abroad have been on a large scale during the present week, and a considerable portion of the former has been paid duty upon. Spring sown corn is still suffering from the effects of so prolonged a continuance of dry weather, the few showers that have fallen, though bene ficial to a certain extent, being very far short of what is re quired in the present parched state of the soil in many districts. The English Stocks have been rather flat to-day, and there is not much business doing. For transfer to-morrow Consols have realised 994 to 4, and for Time the same. Exchequer Bills have been rather higher, a notice for the usual paying off, and the renewal at lid. per centum. per diem having ap peared. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 1024 to 4 ; the Reduced, 1014 to 4 ; and the Three per Cents. 988 to 4. Dank Stock has been rather firmer, viz. 192 to 193 ; but India Stock has receded to 2864 and 285. The Commissioners have taken 20,000/. Reduced at 984. The Foreign market has been more animated. Spanish Active Bonds have realised 234 to 234, and the Three per Cents. 344 to 344, having taken rather a wider range for account, viz. from 344 to 35. Portuguese Converted Bonds have been steady at 468 to 47, the accounts from Lisbon being more satisfactory. Mexican Deferred Stock has realised 15-k, and Colombian Bonds have been heavy at 14h ; Peruvian are 288 • Chilian Deferred Stock is 52 to ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have alternated from 60410 61b ; Russian are 1174 to 118.
