MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY . , TKO O'CLOCK. A further improvement has taken place in all the leading railway stocks, averaging to per cent., and they are firm at the advance.

From most of the coun try markets the reports to hand this moaning report a slow demand, with easier rates. At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was moderate, and there was but a limited inquiry for any kind of grain. English wheat moved off in retail without quotable change from the rates of Monday last. Foreign wheat was not offered on lower terms, but prices were to some extent nominal, there being little disposition to purchase. Flour was purchaseable in some cases on slightly easier terms. Malt sold slowly at unaltered currencies. Barley, beans, and peas quoted without variation. Oats met a quiet sale at the rates of last market day. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SUGAR —Refined sugars met a quiet sale. Common lump, 40s 6d to 41s ; best lump, 39s 6d. to 41s ; pieces, 32s 6d to 38s ; Dutch crushed, 38s to 29s per cwt. Raw sugar continue to sell slightly in buyers' favour. COFFEE. - The demand continues steady, but not sufficient to take off the whole of the supplies at present offering. Sales are not, however, pressed at any tangible decline. _ COCOA.—Common qualities are not much in request, but fine, being less plentiful, is advancing in value. TEA.—Tha general market remains without change. The public sales have gone a little irregular, but not to alter current quotations. RICE continues without activity. White Brazil, 12s to 17s 6d ; cargo, 9s 9d to 11s 6d ; Madras, lls 6d to 12s; soft grain, lls 3d to 12s 6d per cwt. COTTON is quiet, with easier tendency in prices. METALS.—Quotations are unchanged, and but little in passing. Cus.—The market for all kinds is dull. TURPENTINE.—For American refined, 20s Gd to 30s, and quoted with limited transactions. TALLOW. But little ifi passing, and quotations are nearly sta tionary. Y. C., on the spot, 42s ; spring, 425; March, 42s 3d ; last three months, 435, to buyers. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. MEAL—The supply of dead meat, without being heavy, was fully adequate to the demand, and prices remain much the same as befe.re. Beef, 3s to 4s 4d ; mutton, 3s to 4s 2d ; veal, 4s to 5s 4d ; pork, 3s 8d to 4s 2d per stone of 81b by the carcase. GAMH continues scarce and dear. Hares, 3s. 6d. to 4s. ; pheasants, 3s. Gd. to 4s. ; partridges, 2s. 6d. to 3s. each. COTTON MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Feb. s.—Market opens steadier. Sales probably 10,000 bales. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and the short exchange on London Is 25f. 15z. per 41 sterling. on o nnparing these rates with the English Mint price of 41 c‘s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.brs that gold is nearly ooe-tenth dearer in Paris than in London. eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent. It At this rate there is a slight profit on the importation of gold from the United States. There is not the slightest truth in the report pre valent this morning that Bird, the milkman, one of the witnesses in the Fenian prosecutions had been shot. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.—On Saturday the 72d Highlanders arrived at Monk's Ferry railway station, Bir kenhead, from Manchester en route for Dublin. The regi ment is under the command of the Hon. Major Rice. The soldiers were Lilletted on the various publicans in the town. On Sunday afternoon the steamer Simoon entered the Alfred Dock, Birkenhead, and was to receive the regi ment on board yesterday, and to sail last evening. A DUTCH RIVAL TO MADAME IDA PFEIFFER.—A letter from Laghouat, Algeria, in the Akhbar, says: " Madlle. Tine, the Dutch traveller, who passed several months last year in this colony, and had organised a nume rous caravan to cross the desert as far as Timbuctoo, has been constrained, in consequence of the whirlwinds and frightful storms which have prevailed in the Sabarasince her departure, to return to the shelter of this town." FORTIFYING POLICE-STATIONS.—The Government have determined to fortify the police-stations in London, it being the preliminary step to a scheme of general forti fication of all tho police stations and barracks in the United Kingdom. The head office of the Metropolitan Police force at Scotland-yard will be the first to be placed in a state of defence; and with this object Messrs. Clarke and Co., Re.thbone-place, Oxford-street, aro manufacturing bul let-proof shutters for the windows of the station. The shutters will be so constructed that they can be closed al most instantaneously; and an apparatus adjusted inside, which will make them proof against any fusilade of small arms. The doors, it is surmised, will be similarly pro tected. When all the stations in the metropolis and su burban districts are provided with the ball-proof shutters, the stations and barracks of the police in Ireland, it is stated, will next be placed in a state of defence. A SPECTACLE NOT SET DOWN IN TIIE BILL.—A few evenings since there was a performance at the Wor cester Theatre of the opera of "Rob Roy." In the last act a Scotch reel had to be danced. The manager and his leader of the orchestra had not been on good terms, and on the evening in question their disagreement rose to a climax. The music to the dance was played so strangely as to draw down hisses from the audience, and dreadfully bother the performers. The manager interfered, and stated to the hissing audience that one of the company should play the dance music instead. This was done, and the reel at last satisfactorily reeled through. Shortly afterwards the leader, having occasion to go on the stage to perform a violin solo, took an opportunity against all theatrical rule and propriety, to break out in an address to the audience. This was too much, and Mr. M'Fayden the manager, bolting on to the stage, collared the oratori cal delinquent with intent to lead or drag him off, but he would not consent to bo easily removed from before the footlights, and a smart pummelling and cuffing match was enacted, to the infinite delight of the audience, who mani fested the interest they took in the game of fisticuffs by uproarious shouts and cheers. At last the manager suc ceeded in dragging his refractory subordinate from the stage, and the pair disappeared at one of the wings Shortly after, however, the fiddler reappeared in his place in the orchestra, but here he was soon revisited by the wrathful manager, who, with the aid of a policeman, re moved him, and finally thrust him off the premises. EDMUND KLAN.—Mr. W. H. Payne, of Covent Garden, mentions the following interesting incident connected with the last appearance on the stage of Edmund Kean :—When I placed Edmund Kean in the wheel chair, his dresser offered him some cold brandy and water, which he put on one side with his hand, and seeing Mr. George Bartley—the stage, or rather acting, manager—he looked up in his face, with an expression I have never forgotton, and said, "Bartley, it is all over 1" " Well," Bartley remarked, "if ho refuses that, it is all over !" At this moment, Warde came through the side door from the boxes. He was not dressed for the part. Wo waited half an hour, and then resumed the performance. A FAMILY POISONED.—Five members of a German family named Stang, in Chicago, the head of which is reported to bo one of the wealthiest Germans in the city, have been poisoned, although not fatally. A young daug'lter of the family, aged 16, was arrested as the poisoner, on the statement of offe of the children that she put the poison into the coffee. The young prisoner charges her mother with the deed, and states that her parents were so avaricious and grasping that they ill-treated her when she did not earn sufficient money to suit them. 1 Closing Business ihare r Railways.

The plaintiff was a comedian who had fulfilled many engagements, both in London and the provinces, and who sued the company for the injuries received in an accident at Warrington last Juue, as he was travelling from Liver pool to London. He was thrown with his knees violently against the opposite seat of the carriage, the result of which was that he suffered bruises and a shock to the legs, which produced great pain for a long time and a weariness, which has prevented him from following his profession hitherto, and will, according to his own and his advisers' computa tion, continue to disable him for two or three years to come. His actual professional salary had been Xi per week, and at the time of the accident he was on his way to join Mr. Sothorn in order to accompany him, as a member of his company, to Paris. The company had paid .£3OB into court, but that sum was thought utterly insufficient, and accordingly the case went to the jury. Several emi nent surgeons were amongs them, being Sir Wm. For gusson, Mr. Bernard Holt, and Mr. Adams, to speak to the condition in which the plaintiff was placed by the injury; and Mr. John Oxenford, Mr. Ed ward Blanchard; Mr. Charles Mathews, and others, were examined as to the ability of the plaintiff previous to his meeting with the accident. The jury, after a short deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £2OO in addition to the £3OO paid into court by the company. In the Bail Costa Mr. Justice Shoe was occupied with the case of Murray v. Webster. It was an action brought by Mr. Dominic Murray the come dian against Mr. Benjamin Webster, the lessee of the Olympic Theatre for wrongful dismissal. The plaintiff signed an engagement with Mr. Webster to per form certain parts called "low comedy," and he was to have half a clear benefit during the season, but there were certain restrictions in the articles of engagement which the plaintiff bound himself to observe. It was con tended by Mr. Webster that the plaintiff had entirely voided his engagement by his refusal to play a part in a certain farce called " The Two Puddicombs," and that, therefore, he was not entitled to recover the sum he now sought as damages. A number of actors were called, who stated that the past in the farce was not a low comedy part, and drat, therefore, the plaintiff was justified in refusing it ; and further, that the plaintiff had a right to compensation, as he had not received the notice of 21 days to enable him to prepare' for his •benefit prior to the conclusion of the season. Mr. Huddleston argued the case for Mr. Murray and Sergeant Ballan tine for Mr. Webster, the latter contending that theplaintiff ought to be non-suited , as everything that had taken place was within the meaning of the engagement Mr. Murray had signed. Tho learned gentleman for Mr. Murray said there had clearly been an infraction of the engagement, and that therefore he had a right to receive ample damages for the loss he had sustained. The jury, however, had not de termined the question when we went to press. In the Divorce Court the case of Vining v. Vining was set down for hearing, but matters were arranged between the parties, and the case was withdrawn. LORD JERSEY'S RETIREMENT FROM THE TURF. The Morning Post contains the following " sen sational" remarks :—" Every kind of brigandage is kept in active life by the incidents of the Turf from the confederation of commissioners, who have a family -man in every stable, to the notorious discouaters and, well- reputed insurance com panies, who, in combination with them, at a ruinous cost from time to time skin over the wounds that the wild two year old has received in the great melee of the ring. Dukes, marquises, and earls have succumbed of late years in rapid suc cession, after running with unavailing game ness, under terrific difficulties, and retired strained and crippled from the unequal contest between the reckless courage of youth and the strategic science of educated roguery. We announced a few days ago in our racing letter that a noble lord is about to close at twenty-two the career on the Turf which he has barely well entered into, under the assumed registere I name, as the phrase goes, of Mr. Jay. Forty horses to which the noble lord has belonged, as railway officials significantly say when speak ing of passengers and portmanteaus, are to conic up for sale at TattJrsall's on the first vacant day, and he then retires a strained and crippled two year old from that world whose rogues have trained him so pitilessly and ridden him so hard. We con gratulate the noble lord on the determination with which he has pulled up, and we hope that it may have been taken in time to give rest a com plete restoring po ver. But we have another hope, and it is to assist its realisation that we now ad vert to the event at the risk of giving pain. RU mour says that the immature victim has been exploite under circumstances of peculiar iniquity. Even the worst of the discounting brotherhood, the CUrfatian section,have hitherto refrained from eating the bird before it has chipped the shell, and have let the corn catch just a sun colour before attempting to pass it through._ the mill; but the child of the Turf, rumour says, was planted' while he was yet a boy-earl, and one atleast of the money-lending fraternity contrived to get at him while he was at Eton. This man alone', it is reported, has managed to build up a claim amounting to no less than between £30,000• and £40,000, and the ante-age liabilities of the victims are supposed to reach in the gross nearly £1.00,000. When a man of mature age, with his eyes opened as a few years in London or regi mental life opens them, elects to borrow of a professional discounter, because he either has nothing but personal security to offer, or be cause it would not answer to submit his difficulties to the ' governor,' it is a matter between his present and his future, or between himself and his family ; but when a boy who has succeeded to an earl dom in his boyhood, having been detected, through the aid of the Peerage and tracked by the bloodhounds of marauding capital to his school is stalked and bagged with well-devised strategy, and his estates drained of their life-blood, it becomes an affair between society at large and the money wolf. It becomes both the duty and the interest of society to drive the wolf out of the sheepfold and hunt him down. Yet it is rarely done. The family of the victim shrink from exposure and keep the matter quiet, which means that it is not known and talked of except in every club and at every din ner-table in London. The family lawyer is con sulted ; the family lawyer doesn't like the job, and hands it over to some notorious solicitor up to the thing,which means a practitioner who is in daily intercourse with lenders and borrowers on bills. The notorious solicitor takes showy initiative measures, manages ultimately a quiet compromise, by which the victim gets five or six thousand knocked off a claim of fifty that real investigation would have reduced to ten, for which he receives the thanks of the family and pockets a pretty smart fine from the discounter, who then goes forth, with the mask still on his face shrouded in his domino, and a still very heavy bag of realised and secured profit in his pocket." THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CAM BRIAN RAILWAY. CAERSWS, MONTGOMERYSHIRE, Tuesday. The great overflow of the Severn, which led to the disaster of Saturday, has disappeared as rapidly as it rose, and there is very little in the appearance of the country here this morning to indicate that a coupte.of days ago" it was entirely under water. It is unanimously stated by the inhabitants of the dis trict that there has been no such flood here for 16 years, and the circumstance of the annual overflow was greatly aggravated by the suddenness of its ap pearance, and the terrible storm of wind by which it was accompanied. People went to bed on Friday night with their houses standing on dry land, and awoke in the morning to find themselves in the midst of a waste of raging waters, and com munication with their neighbours entirely cut off. Being an exclusively agricultural district, and the land still lying fallow, comparatively small damage hat been done to the farms, but the loss of stock by drowning is very great, many farmers having lost from 20 to 50 sheep a piece, besides pigs and poultry. IN umnous stories of individual mis adventure are told : amongst others of more serious import, one old lady of the principality relates how she awoke in the middle of the night, and hearing cries of distress from the kitchen, went down and discovered her only pig, which she had left comfortably bedded by the fire, floating help lessly about in the room in company with the table and chairs, and how she waded in and seized the stay of her household, and after much labour succeeded in transporting it to safe quarters in her bedroom. It was late on Saturday afternoon before the body of the unfortunate driver could be got out of the river, though it was visible all the time, as it stood upright in the water, fixed between the engine and the tender. There was a large gang of men at work, but at times it became necessary for them to lie down flat on their faces, as being the only means of saving themselves from being blown into the river. All the morning the wind raged with unexampled fury, occasionally raising the water in vast sheets, and carrying it about like a cloud for long distances. After noon it moderated, and the work progressed more rapidly, but it was found necessary to take the engine to pieces, and remove it plate by plate, before the bodies could be released, and this was of course a long task when the men had to work standing in the water. It is expected that / the ordinary traffic of the rail way will be resumed by Monday, gangs of men being now employed night and day in making the repairs. The most important work is required at the Pontdolgoch bridge, which, thongly built of iron girders resting upon massive stone pillars, has been totally undermined by the flood. The bridge at Scofel is now pronounced to be safe, the down train yesterday morning passing over it in safety, though the passengers elected to get out and watch the remit of the experi ment from the embankment. At present through communication is effected by means of omni buses and other vehicles, which, meeting the trains at Lladloes-road, on the north side of Caersws bridge, convey passengers to the train in waiting at Carno, on the south side of Pontdolgoch bridge, and vice versa. The bodies of Samuel Daniells, the driver, and John Davis, the stoker, were removed to the work house at Caersws, where an inquest was opened yesterday afternoon. After hearing the medical testimony the coroner gave au order for the burial of the bodies, and the inquiry was adjourned in order that the Govern ment inspector might be present. A CHANGE OF FORTUNE.—A letter from Pesth mentions that Generals Klapka and Perczel aro getting up a grand ball in Pesth to which the Emperor Francis Joseph is to bo invited.

Spinners are brisk, being yet under contract, in many cases, for two or three weeks forward, and for this reason they are not disposed to give way in prices. In home-trade yarns the market has been also quieter. Spinners are asking extreme prices for such yarns as are most in demand, including 32's twist and 30's to 10's weft. The full rates asked have to some extent been the cause of check ing business, and in some yarns prices are slightly in the buyer's favour. Buyers in some instances have been able to suit themselves at 1. per lb. cheaper. The - transactions in cloth to-day have been uniroFortant, so that it may be said the market ge nerally sympathises with the quieter feeling in the Liverpool cotton market. The active demand which has characterised the cloth market for so , ne weeks past has in some measure subsided during the last two or three days, buyers appearing unwilling to follow the advance which has naturally resulted from such an extensive bus'nc..ss. Manufacturers are no ,v very full of orders, on the other hand, and are no;), on that account, anxions to press further sales. They mostly adhere to their present high quotations, because the full prices they have to pay for cotton and yarn admit of no concession. To-day there has been a pretty fair general inquiry, goods suit able to India having, perhaps, the greater share of it; but we bear of but very little business being ac tually effected. For cloth, as for home-trade yarns, where manufacturers are not fully engaged to order, they are rather easier to deal with ; but such cases are quite exceptional. Mr. F. E. Gaddum publishes a report from Bombay of Feb. 1, quoting 8-1-Ib. shirtings (net), Bs. 7id., while Manchester values now ruling are 9s. 6d. per piece ; 71b. shirtings, 7s. 3d., against Bs. at Manchester ; 31b. madapollams, 35., against 3s. 74-d. per piece.; but holders were an ticipating higher prices and were unwilling to sell. As regards cotton prospects, Messrs. Ellison and Heywood, Liverpool brokers, report the falling off in receipts during the past month to temporary causes, such as the Christmas holidays (which last in the south ten days), and to the low state of the rivers for a time. They also remind their clients that the crop this season was two or three weeks back ward, and that planters were naturally unwilling to sell at the enormous decline which had taken place in price since the cotton was sown. They think, at all events, that any attempt to reduce the crop esti mates popular six weeks ago is premature. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth market :—" During the last few days the demand in our market has in a great measure subsided, and to-day, though we have a fair inquiry, the amount of actual business is limited. Makers now being well engaged, adhere to their full quotations, which are further supported by the high price of yarns." CARDIFF, 3d.—The high winds which have pre vailed during nearly the whole of the past week have prevented a number of vessels arriving and departing, consequently the shipme n t s o f s t eam coal have not much increased since last report. From the East the demand continues tolerably good, and the requirements at the mail packet station are greater than have been for the past two or three weeks, and it is expected the demand will be still further increased, as the stocks have been consider ably reduced. This has caused freights to become much firmer for large tonnage, and to some porta a rise has taken place. From France inquiries have become more numerous, as there is a fair prospect of the exports to that country being considerably increased. At nearly all the collieries the men are working pretty regularly, and during the past week a considerable quantity of coal has been sent down from the Aberdare and Rhondda valleys. The col liers have accepted the proposed reduction in wages, and the few who remained out for two or three days have now returned to their avocation. There is no favourable change to note in the iron trade, and at some of the works the hands are being reduced. LEEDS, 4th.—The cloth halls' markets this morn ing were quite as well attended as last Tuesday. There was a moderate amount of business done, con sidering that much dulness continues to prevail in the woollen trade, as a:-whole, in this district. The tone of the markets was certainly of an improving character, anti a disposition to purchase suitable goods for the coming season was more strongly shown than for the past few weeks. Tweeds and fancy goods, also unions, have sold to a fair extent, and there has also been a tolerable demand for the better and medium classes of hair lists. Stocks, however, are quite equal to the demand, and manu facturers and country clothiers are not fully em ployed. Wools, woollen yarns, and goods are equally steady in price. The flax trade is rather more active, without any material alteration as to the raw mate rial yarns or threads. ROCHDALE, 3d.—There was a small attendance of buyers in the flannel market to-day, and they showed little disposition to purchase goods. The aggregate sales, indeed, were less than at last week's market. The best qualities of plain flannels are the most saleable, the demand for fancies being slack. Prices, upon the whole, considering the slackness of trade, are steady. The same may be said also as to those of Yorkshire goods and of wool. LONDON GAZE r TE.-LAST EVENING. OSBORNE, JAN. 30.

THE EAST TEIGNMCUTH RITUAL CASE.—In the Court of Arches Sir Robert Phillimore had appointed the case of Flamank v. Simpson to be commenced to-day. It will occupy some time in hearing.—Dr. Stephens, Q.C., Dr. Swabey, and Mr. Droop appeared on the part of the pro moter, the churchwarden of East Teignmouth, Devon; Dr. Deane, Q.C., Mr. Hannen, Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Arthur Charles appeared for the defendant, on the part of the English Church Union.—The defendant is the pel petual curate of East Teignmouth, and, in addition to the charges alleged in Mackonochie's case, he was cited on account of a credence table, and for omitting the word "all" in the morning and evening prayers. He denied the latter charge.—Dr. Stephens, in opening the case, said the several charges as to lights, the mixed chalice, and the credence table were admitted, but the word " all" was denied. The latter charge would be abandoned, on account of the great expense that it would entail to bring witnesses up from Devonshire. The learned counsel pro. ceeded to discuss the several points, and contended that the defendant had not complied with the Book of Common Prayer.—The case was proceeding when we went to press. ALLEGED WHOLESALE SWINDLING.—In the Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Registrar Brougham had before him the matter of Hannah and Patterson.—The bankrupts were described as grocers, of the New North-road, and to-day was ap pointed for the first meeting. It was stated that the bankrupts were in custody of the police, and had been remanded from the Mansion House upon a charge of wholesale swindling, by means of which they were alleged to have obtained over £2,000 worth of tea from various houses in the trade. The bankrupts opened a small grocery store in the New North-road, and they soon ingratiated themselves with the wholesale houses who have suffered, by paying cash for all purchases. At length, somewhere about September last, they began buying upon credit, and ordered in the last three months of 1867 over £2,000 worth of tea, without the duty. The terms of the credit expired with the old ivar, and on December 31 the bankrupts disappeared. Inquiries were at once instituted, and the persons were arrested in Scot y Court messenger having seized a land, the Bankruptcy large quantity of tea which had been forwarded to the -.3risoners' hiding-place. The casg stood over, SURRE Y SESSLUS.S.—(This Day.) A SHAM JEWELLER SENT TO PRISON. — At the Mansion House, Peter M`Dertnott was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination, on a charge of selling sham jewellery on the pretence that it was genuine. —The pri soner met a well•dressed youth, named Howard, on London Bridge, and offered him a watch chain, a ring, and a scarf-pin, all of which he represented to be made of Australian gold, for 22 188., the story he told being that he was the mate of a ship, and that he took the articles out of the captain's chest. The boy, having some suspi cions about the matter, spoke to a policeman, and the prisoner was then given into custody.—The Lord Mayor sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. THREATENING THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND. tieorge Connor and Mary Davis, the latter with a child in her arms, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by the Marquis Townshend with begging in Piccadilly. The Marquis said that on the previous evening, about six o'clock, he saw the two prisoners together in Piccadilly. The woman left the man frequently to accost ladies in carriages, and as he knew she had previously been convicted he watched her, and saw her receive money from ladies in different carriages, and each time go back to the man. While looking for a constable he lost sight of the prisoners, but subsequently saw them come out of a public-house, and he then gave them into custody. As the man was not known to him as a beggar, he requested at the station that his own recognisance might be taken for his attendance here that morning.— The male prisoner said he knew nothing of the female prisoner, and only met her by accident. He had a wife at home.—Mr. Tyrwhitt committed Davis for a month, and as she was being removed from the court she threatened the Marquis with personal chastisement on the first oppor• tunity. The magistrate had her brought back, and ordered her to find one surety in £lO to keep the peace for six months. The man was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHEEP STEALING Arm HEAVY SENTENCE. -At tl!► Surrey Sessions,William Barnett and Henry Barnett, farm labourers, were indicted for stealing two sheep, the pro perty of Walter George Collins,' at Seal, near Guildford.— The prosecutor was a farmer at Seal, and on the night of the 29th of December he had sixty-five sheep in the fold. On the following morning they were counted, and there were only sixty-three. The skins and entrails of the two missing sheep were found near the fold, and several footmarks were discovered and traced to a cottage in which the prisoners lived. The officers found therein a shoulder of mutton quite warm, but cut in an unbutcherlike manner. The fat on one of the skins corresponded exactly, and the prisoners were apprehended by Mr. Superintendent Newland, of the Guildford police.—A butcher at Seal said he had examined the shoulder of mutton, and found it was a portion of a half-bred sheep. It had not been killed by a butcher.—A great deal of evidence was gone into, tracing the foot marks, &c., and after a short consultation the jury found both prisoners guilty.—Superintendent Newland said that William Barnett had been convicted at Aldershot for going about in female attire. Several mysterious robberies had taken place recently, and some of the stolen property was found in his house.—The chairman told the prisoners that a few years ago the crime they had committed was a capital offence. He sentenced each of them to ten years' penal servitude,. • SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning.
