CAPTURE OF TWO BURGLARS. This morning at half-past 12 o'clock the: banking house of Messrs. Mangles, at Epsom, Surrey, was broken into, and an immense quantity of silver, cheques, notes, and gold, besides other property, was stolen therefrom. Two men, since recognised as London thieves, were stopped outside the town by a mounted patrol of the V division, who suspected them from the heavy burdens they were carrying, and drew his en :lass, with which he threatened to cut them down if they moved. The constable took them to t he Epsom station-house, when Sergeant Kennedy, the acting inspector for that district, had them strictly seareibed, and a large quantity of money, principally silo: r, was t aken from them, as well es other valuable booty; they were then locked up and the property se cured. The acting inspector communicated by express with Mr. Bicknell, the superintendent, who resides at Wandsworth, and he immediately forwarded informa tion to the Police Commissioners. MR. POWNALL'S OMNIBUS PAS SENGER INDEX.—(THIS DAY.) By the courtesy of Mr. C. J. Pownali, a private gentleman of fortune, we have, this afternoon, been afforded an opportunity of witnessing, at the Free masons' Tavern, an extremely ingenious instrument, invented and patented by him, by which the exact number of persons who ride in an omnibus, during a journey, are correctly registered, so as to operate as a obeck against the conductor in charge of the vehicle. Should this invention answer its desired end, and we have little doubt it will, the great desideratum of a check by om nibus proprietors and companies upon their con ductors will have been attained, and the former consequently saved a great deal of money, of which it is supposed they are daily defrauded under the present system by such of their servants as are of a dishonest turn. The reader will perceive that this is a matter of considerable importance, and he will be naturally desirous of knowing the means by which it can be achieved. We shall therefore endeavour to give a brief and intelligible description of Mr. Pawners invention, so far as we cam do so in popular language, and without the aid of diagrams. Its principle consists in causing the entrance of every person into or upon a carriage or other conveyance, or into or upon any passage way, to complete an electric circuit or connexion with a voltaic battery suitably placed, and such completion of the circuit to actuate a system of wheelwork and numbering index connected therewith, whereby the feet of such en trance, and any number of entrances, will be unerringly ascertained and registered. The machine by which this is effected consists of a dial plate about six inches square, with pointers and index, to which is attached a voltaic battery. These are placed in a box below the floor of the omnibus, close to the step by which passengers ascend and descend to and from the inside B eate. The steps both to the outside and inside of the omnibus av so constructed on spriegs, that the weight of a person getting into the veliicle, or upon the out side, brings the electric wires of the voltaic battery into contact, 'so es to complete an electric circle or connexion. TLe wires are coiled several times round a piece of soft iron in the firm of a horse shoe, only not so large, which piece of soft iron is mag netized immediately on the completion of the elec tric citrcult. The iron so magnetiz'd attracts a piece of metal connected with two or three cog wiAtels immediately behind and in connexion wit& the dial-plate and actuates them, and these wheels, in their turn, move the hands on the dial-plate. An apparatus such as we have briefly described being placed below the flour of' the oranibti4 and the steps to 'with the inside and outside being also constructed as we have mentioned, the result is that the number of porsons who travel in the vehicle ere unerringly a 4ceTtained and registered on the dial-plate. The weight of a person stepping out or iota an omnibus, or from the outside, sets the machine in motion, and the dial counts one, and so on according to the number of passengers who get out and in. Of course a single passenger in stepping into and out of the vehicle actuates the ma chine twice; the dial-plate, therefore, shows two fur each person, 'out the number on the dial-plate being divided by two gives the exact number of passengers who have travelled during the journey or the day, and so operates as an effectual check upon the con ductore. It has been tightly supposed that any instrument cof this tell-tale description which was visible or patent t ) either the passengers or the conductors would be (fable to be tampered with or injured ; and therefore Mr. Pownall, the inventor, has wisely enclosed it under 6 Brareah lock and key, so as to be accessible only to the proprietors or their representatives pro prle authorised to inspect it. We wore curious to know how the instrument dis tinguished threepenny from sixpenny riders, and we f,u much to our amusement :awl surprise, that it provided e 'ell for this desideratum. Suppose an oronj us t:avels from the Bank t Bayswater, and that its threepenny ride either way erends to Che ri3g-cr. s., an agent of the proprietors at either end of the full journey, on VI) omnibus at rting, opens the box inclosing the index and takes a note of the number to which the hands print; on the vehicle reaching Chiring-cross, the extent of the threepenny ride, another agent of the proprietors, or the time-keeper, as it way be, again 0; ens the box, and seeing the index pointing at (say) 17, he counts the passengers remaining in or on the omnibus, wk,ich may be 6: he then deducts 6 from 17, and the difference, 11, shows the number of threepenny rides there have been. By an ingenious arrangement, too, a person may stand ever so long on the step of the vehic'e, or dance a jig on it if he likes, but the index on his getting off will only count cne. Such are few of the more obvious and general features of Mr. Pownall's ingenious invention, as it hai be( n exhibited to us to-thy, and we congratulate omnibus proprietors atd companies on at least pos sessing an apparatus which will secure to them intact every farthing of the profits of their trad ing concerns, and enable them to detect acts of dishonesty on the part of their servants, at whose mercy they have hitherto wholly been. So effective does Mr. Pownall's invention seem that there appears no way of esceping its recording finger unless the conductor of an omibus can manage to lift his pas sengers out and in by the window or the door of the vehicle.. Indeed, should that functionary himself leave lis usual perch, and by the slightest chance, stand on the step of the omnibus, the inexorable re gister will count one , an d so mulct him in threepence for Lis carelessness. FRANCE,. The Committee of Permanence met yesterday, and M. Baroche, Minister of the Interior, attended. He declared that the removal of General N eumayer was an i,plated act, ohjected to state the motives which had induced that removal, and made a long statement of the views and policy of the Government. The immediate cenvocation of the Assembly was proposed, but the Committee separated without coming t o any derision. General Carrelet, the successor cf General Neumaver, accompanied the Presi,!ent to the Opera on Wednesd,:y. General Chanp;arni..r and M. Tillers were likewise at the Opera in a sfparatl box. The Union de Nantes has the folthwing "Information, on the correctncrs of which we can rely, has reached uz to the following effect:—The Prli,ccs of the How., of Orleans have invited the Con servatves of the I.eziAative Assembly net to s.pa:ate themselves from the Legitimatists on the great questions of national interest; for instance, to vote as they do, and with them, if a proposi tion for the prolongation of the powers of the President be made to the Assembly.

Metals—Copper—The inquiry for nearly all descrip tions of copper has declined. Heavy stocks are already in importers' hands, and large quantities are known to be on the way out; and the unfavourable advices from the interior make up country dealers unwilling to spe culate at present. Iron—English bar, sheet, and hoop have declined in value and demand, and the inquiry for square and round nail rod has decreased, while Swedish bar has receded in value. Spelter and sheet had have somewhat declined in price. Swedish steel and pig lead remain as before. Cochineal—We have heard of two sales—one of 4,0001b5. at Rs. 2: 31 per lb., and one of 6,0001b5. at Rs. 2:3 per lb. Large :tucks are still on hand, rind a brisk inqui:y exists. .

Sales-200 barrels coal tar, Its. 5 4 per barrel; 150 ditto, Rs. 5 S per barrel; 300 ditto pitch, Rs. 3 4 per barrel. GERMAN Y. The Deutsche Reform, a Prussian Ministerial paper, says—" We are requested to contradict the statements of the Vienna Reichs Zeitung, and of other journals, which pretend that Prussian officers and soldiers in full uniform are allowed to join the Schleswig-Holsteiners, and that the soldiers espe cially have ' one year's furlough ' for the purpose of entering the Holstein service.' A definitive 'resolution respecting the convocation of the Prussian Parliament has been deferred until the return from Warsaw of Couut Brandenburg. Frankfort letters of the 29th ult., in the Kolner Zeitung, state that the Hessian troops in Hanau, Bock(-nlaeini, and the environs of Frankfort, have been disbanded. They receive I leave of absence, and were compelled to give up their arms and accou- tretnt-nts. The same paper states that the Elector and his Minist,rs, after protesting against the Bavarian inva sion of the Electorate; have suddenly altered their views, and given their consent to the entry into Hesse of a Bavarian army. That army was expected to arrive on the 30th tilt. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Bombay, Wednesday Evening, Oct. 2. We have no new feature to notice in the Money Market since our last. Rates of interest remain the same. The Share Market continues in au inactive state, but we hare again to record a slight advance in rho prices of some of our joint stocks. The fol lowing are the quotations of the day:—Bank of Bombay, 191 per cent. prenaium; Oriental Bank, 11 j per cent. discount; Commercial Batik, 10 per cent. discount; Agra Bank, 6 per cent. discount. Government Securi ties have rasher receded, and we hear of New Fives being sold at 994, and Company's Fours to 854, while Sicca Fours are in demand at 881 per cent. The market for imports has been comparatively dull, and the value of many articles has declined a trifle, con sequent on the rather unpromising accounts of the pro spects of the crops in the interior, and the unfavourable advices of the cotton markets last to hand from China and England. In exports scarcely any business has been done during the fortnight. Cotton Piece Goods—The market has been compara tively dull for all kinds of piece goods for the reasons given above, notwithstanding that holders bad somewhat lowered their prices, in order to be enabled to take ad vantage of the extremely favourable rate of exchange lately ruling. Grey goods—Jaconets have sold to the extent of 14,300 pieces, at Rs. lf to Re. 2: 13 as per piece. The demand has been dull, but prices remain as before. Domestic Sales 1,600 ps., at Rs. 6: 5 as p.p. These fabrics are in but little demand at present, but maintain their prices. Long Cloths—Sales 1,660 pa.; at Rs. 4: 13 to Rs. 7 4 p.p., with a tendency t o d ec li ne. Madapollams—Sales 7,450 ps., at Rs. 2: 3 as. to Rs. 3; 9 a m. p.p. Prices have been with difficulty maintained, and the demand is languid. Shirtings—Sales 11,450 ps,, at Rs. 3 : 15 to Rs. 6: 11 p.p. A decline of one to two annas per piece on the prices of 40 and 45 inch makes has been submitted to. and the demand has been dull. T cloths are in little inquiry, and the price has nominally given way 2 to 4 annas a-piece ; we have not heard of any sales. Bleached Goods—Jacconets—Sales, 2,404 ps., at from Rs. 2 ; 9 to Rs. 4i p. p. The medium, and better descriptions only are in demand, at former netts. Illadapollaing, The only sale reported is one of 52 ps. 32 by 2 t inches, at Its. 2: 5 as. p. p. Stocks moderate. Shirtings— Sale 50 ps. only, at Rs. 611 p. p. The stock of 66 reed and above is limited, while the inquiry is tolerably brisk. Mulk-1,200 ps. have been sold at Re. 34 to R.. si p.p. Dry Goods —Little doing in Turkey red good, bud rates have declined a shade. Fancy Goods—A fair business has been done in Mulls—bleached, grey, and purple, dyed madapollame, Turkey red starch mull:;, low lappets, and lappet scarfs ; an they continue in de mand, while book muslinr, pine and zebra dresses ice., are uninquired after. , Cotton Yarns—Sales, 268 bales mule and 37 water twist, and 10 bales Turkey red yarn. The value of both the former has declined, owing to tie late heavy imports. For orange yarn there has been no inquiry, Sales-11 bales mule twis*, 2001bs. each, Nos. 50, at annas 13; 60, at annas 14k; 70, at annas 16; 80, at annas 17i per lb.; 60 bales mule twin , 7701 b. each, Nos. 30, at flouts 91; 40, at annas 10 peßb.

Opium—Scarcely any business has been done in the drug during the past month. The P. and 0. Co.'s steamer Braganza, which left for China on the 19th ult., touk on 748} chests. The nominal price of the day is Rs. 1,250 per chest. Cotten; Wool—The purchases during the past fort night have been to a limited extent only—amounting to 2,350 bales and 1,250 candies. Consequent on the last advices from England and China having been less favourable than those formerly received, prices of nearly all descriptions of cotton declined about Rs. 10 per candy; and as supplies are coming in daily from the coast, it is not improbable a further decline will take place. Purchases during the fortnight:- 500 candies Compta 250 „ ditto 50 „ Mangalore (all round) „ 128 8 ditto 750 bales Dhollera 700 „ ditto . „ 128 0 ditto 200 „ ditto 700 „ Surat...., 130 0 ditto FREIGHTS.—The rates of the day ' are—to London 21. 10s., to Liverpool 21. 15s. to 21. 17e. Gd. per ton, and to China Its. 8 per candy. These show a decline on our last quotations, caused by the little business transacted in the export market. The rate to London is almost nominal, but that to Liverpool is firm. EXCHANGE.—On the arrival of the last China mail the rate went up for first-class paper to 2s. lid., but it has since receded to 2s. lid., six months. sight. On China the nominal rate is its. 218 per 100 dolls.; and on Calcutta par. CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL. (From the Calcutta Englishman, Sept. 21.) The express, with London dates to 7th August, arrived on the 18th instant, and the Regular Bombay Mail was delivered during the forenoon of the 20th. The want of general activity in our export market, noticed in our last issue, has since continued to a degree verging on dulness, which the preponderating number of sellers base met by a firm maintenance of unaltered value whilst some submitted to a small concession in prices, at which partial buyers evinced every disposition to operate freely. This tendency becoming more gene rally developed within the last two days, as the result of the above-named home advices, which are looked upon es satisfactory, less from any actual advadce in prices, than the steady and upward tending ground assumed by them on the sound basis of an active trade, under the encouragement of increasing deliveries of the leading products consumed by the masses. The business in indigo has been confined to a few small lots in bazaar dealers' hands at as report states very high prices for shipment to America. Sugar has met with free sellers, where 2a. to 4a. reduced offers were accepted. Saltpetre has continued in fair demand almost exclusively for American account, the increasing supply at bazaar giving here and there the opportunity for a purchase a few annas below the extreme previous value. Tho in quiry for rice, which again subsided a few days after the departure of last mail, has been resumed under the in fluence of the late home accounts reporting the partial appearance of the potato disease. Raw silk continues in general brisk inquiry at farther slightly enhanced rates for desirable medium qualities, of which present reduced stocks offer but a very scanty choice. The de mand for torahs is extending to the lower bazaar goods, of which prices have advanced two rupees. ,Jute in in creasing favour, though large shipments arc going for ward and prices continue advancing. Oil seeds are less largely taken, yet still to an extent which, notwithstand ing increasing supplies, keeps prices firmly steady. Shell lac and lac dye in moderate demand, almost exclusively for shipments to America, and prices of the former rather easier, whilst the native sorts of fair test of the latter command slightly improved rates. In opium little has been done in the bareer, yet prices con tinue well supported to previous value. Our import market assumed shortly after the rteparture of m.sil a more decided turn towa!ds en improve d tendency, which has since been gaining ground to the extent of a general ad ranee more or less in de gree i,r all goods under the combined influences of speculative operations for Europea❑ account, consider able purchases for Bombay, a diminished reserve on the part of dealers, and a greater degress of firmness evinced by holders on the score of the centime d rise in the home market, caused by the progress ing advance in raw cotton. Manchester goods have in most kinds met with considerable demand 'at improved rates, grey goods remaining fa vourites, and commanding the best advance. Glasgow fabric:. attracted most inquiry in styles suitable for the approaching holidays on better terms; but all other sorts have not yet shared the latter, and move cif sloe ly. Turkey-red plain and twilled cottons have met with fair sales at improving prices, in which prints d goods have lately shared, though to a less ex tent. White cotto❑ mule twist is the subject of general attention, but a larger extent of business has lately been checked by the firmness of holders for far ther improved prices, the ultimate attainment of which is generally expected. Reel yarns of superior bright colour are in unabated demand, and rates have a further advancing tendency. Metals ace again quite neglected. Copper is offering at the lowest previous rates, and even Iherest attracts little attention. Iron is only with difficulty moved off at the previously prevailing low prices. Spelter has further declined without Any increase in de mand. Freights decli❑ tl 103., but have within the last tew days again experienced a slightly upward reaction to the extent of 2-6 to 5 per ton. The Money Market is unaltered, with rather less pressing demand. In ex change the transactions have not been extensive, takers holding out for better rates, imparting thereby to them an upward tendency, these ruling for 6 months' sight credit bills at 2s. 011. to 2s. Oil., document draughts, 2s. Oid. to 2-1, and some small amounts are reported at 2-Ik. Indigo—The business since last mail has been con fined to a few small lots of old bazaar goods, and 18 chests fig kind at Company's rupees 75 per fy. maund. Manufacturing is now nearly closed throughout. Lower Bengal, and the late favourable weather has in some in stances, and particularly in Kishnaghur, proved service able, yet to such a moderate extent that we do not feel ju-eified to alter our last estimate of the total turn-out, stated at 1,12,000 to 1,15,000 mss. It is rumoured that caters of 20 to 2i rs. above the previous season's prices have been proposed for some favourite marks, but we have not heard of any purchases being concluded on such terms. Sugar—The apathy in the general demand noticed in our last issue has since continued, but not less the firm- Less of the majority of holders, from which resulted a limited husinees at rates a shade easier, resumed with more activity since the arrival of the express, buyers of the b:?tter description of Benares meeting the general requirements with less hesttation. The reported trans actions of the past fortnight are— Saltpetre—The demand for home shipments has been quite unimportant, but it has been steadily pursued for American account, in most instances at 2 to 3 annas reduced prices, particularly in the superior medium sorts, of which the increased supplies at bazaar offered an extended choice.

IMPORIS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—This market has since our last issue established an unqualified turn towards a general amendment, and tranraet'ons would have been on a more extensive scale had holders not gradually raised their requirements and shown much firmness i❑ this adapted position.

A popular writer has remarked, that nine times out of ten, it is over the bridge of sighs that we pass the narrow gulph from youth to manhood. That interval is usually occupied by an ill-placed or disappointed affection ; and though the intellect may come out hardened by the trial, the moral nature, the trusting faith of youth has undergone an irreparable shock. We have advanced farther into the black, swollen, turbid torrent of life, and we no longer find it a calm, bright, heaven. reflecting lake. Earth no longer stretches away before us in shadowless beauty, like the paradise of an unfallen world. One false friend has deceived us, and we hastily conclude all to be black and bad. Our companions, too, are gradually dropping away from our side. The manifold businesses of lite have deprived us of many, while the grave has closed upon others. Early manhood is one of the most ardently-desired epochs of our lives, yet is it the first in which we begin to feel the pressure of the shroud and the pall. The ZEolian muse of life is gone, and the fair fields of fancy, over which our young thoughts floated away on gilded gleaming wings are rapidly falling from our sight. The burden begins to weigh heavily on our shoulders, the step becomes more grave and the brow more solemn ; earth's music wears a sadder, duller tone, the dirge steals in upon the dance, and the revel is disturbed by the requiem. Now, for the first time, we begin to treasure up the wasted dews of thought, and pausing on this first gentle upland of life, we turn a longing, lingering look upon the path which we have trodden, and the scenes which we are leaving behind us for ever. The sunshine wears a cloud, and truth has torn off the garments of falsehood, and taught us to take a correcter, and less flattering estimate of the world. Memory, too, prepares to decorate the niches in her solemn temple with the forms so dearly loved, but now for ever lost. That ancient school-house, which we once thought a dungeon, what a pleasant place it looks now. And the old peda• gogue, with his monstrous spectacles, whom we once thought an apt representative of all ogres and giants, and who we so sadly provoked with our mischievous games, what a kind, good old man he was ! How much more sinned against than sinning. Peace to his gentle shade I The whole group of our schoolfellows, too, we see them all again, as if it were but yesterday. Not one is missing ; we could arrange them all in their classes, and at their desks, from that merry, mischihous, laughter-loving rogue, who was always annoying, and yet always amusing us with his Quips and cranks and wanton wiles," down to that grave, melancholy boy, who never fought a battle, nor took part in a mischievous trick, but told us s' range and wondrous tales, as would often "beguile , us of our tear." But as early as manhood ripens into maturity, these dreams and memories of the past corn© less seldom upon the spirit. As the distance which divides us from the past widens, the gathering mist of years settles down upon its peaceful vales and sunny landscapes ; and the faint light which streams down upon the crumbling homes of youth and childhood, though beautiful as autumn sunset in an alpine solitude, is sad as moonlight upon graves. We dream most at the beginning and close of life; middle age is too deeply engaged in the world to give much time to dreams, however beautiful. The chain and the yoke bind us too closely to the stern realities of existence. The iron has entered into our soul, and a feverish restlessness and anxiety for wealth and fame has enthroned itself in our heart. The extent of our wandering shows us but the limit of our chain, and our attempts to soar only reveal to us the lowness of our dungeon. We feel a proud impulse stirring within us, urging us to struggle for the wreath of intellectual pre-eminence. We may not be idle amidst the busy throng which is hemming us in, and panting to outstrip us in the race. And so over the dead bodies of dissimulation, envy, and despair, we battle on till every energy is exhausted, every hope gone ; and old age, pitying our unavailing strife, leads us back to the home of our childhood to spend the evening of our days in peace. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRO➢i OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, OCT. 31. DEPARTURE OF TUE COURT FROM OSIIORNE.-It is understood that her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal children, leave Osborne House to-morrow morning at eleven o'clock for Windsor. Part of the establiAunent left this day. ANOTHER ESCAPE !ROM TIIE JUVENILE PRISON.— One of these hopeful lads, by the name of Bennet, con trived to evade the vigilance of his keepers yesterday. It appears he was a bricklayer, and was at work on the gas works in the course of erection to supply the two prisons. He took the road to Cowes, expecting by that route to get out of the island, and being in want of food, clothes, and money, he broke into the lodge at West•hill to obtain these necessaries. He had a knife and lath hammer with him, and with them cut out three panes of glass and got into the house by that opening. The gardener, who resides at the lodge, was from home, having to take care of West-hill House, which the proprietors (the Misses Ward) had that day left on a visit to London. His wife hearing some one in the house, got up and went down stairs and opened the front door to obtain as- sistance. Mr. Jones and his brother at the time (midnight) passing in his cart, she called him. On his entering the house the thief escaped out of the window again. Mr. Jones followed him, attempting to secure him, and Mr. Yole, having obtained a stout stick, a fight ensued. Jones soon lost the stick, but eventually threw his man, and a neighbour coming up tied the fellow's legs. Other assistance arriving, the lad's (he appeared from 20 to 22 years of age) arms were also tied and he was put into Jones's cart and driven back to Parkhurst. Reform a Tory ! (Reform a Tory, indeed, why the thing is impos sible ; you cannot reform such things, of which we have ample proof.) It is fortunate that in getting out of the window he left his hammer and knife in the room, or murder might have been added to his other crimes; and we suppose till something of a very se rious nature occurs, these weekly escapes will con tinue, to the great annoyance of the neighbourhood. It is just twelve months since one of these M.P. s, as they are called, was taken on these premises before. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Sirrell, gold and silver refiner, of Barbican, whose name has been so familiar to the public in consequence of charges of having received stolen property, appeared before Alderman Gibbs for the purpose of answering certain charges of having re ceived property which had been stolen in the city of London. Mr. Powell, barrister, appeared to prosecut e upon the part of the Crown; Mr. Lewis, of Fly -pl ace , solicitor, attended for the prisoner. There were seve ral respectable citizens present, who seemed to be on intimate terms with the prisoner. Mr. Powell stated, that in consequence of com munications received by the metropolitan police, In spector Lund of the detective department of the force, and other officers, went on the 21 of October to the residence of the prisoner in Barbican, and took him into custody. Upon searching the premises they found a considerable quantity of plate, amongst which were the articles that would be the subject of the present inquiry. One of these articles was a piece of plate which had been stolen from the Rainbow Tavern in Fleet-street. Part of the mark on that article had been obliterated with a file. Another piece had been taken from the house of Mr. Godden, a gentleman who resided near Maidstone, and whose house had been plundered some nights previously and there was a variety of other articles which would in due time be brought forward. It was proper to observe that the prisoner hul come forward volun tarily to meet any accusation which might be pre ferred against him in the city of London, as would be stated by Mr. Lewis ; and, as the principal wit nesses were not present, it was necessary to take no more evidence than would be required to authorise a remand until the details could be gone into. Mr. Lewis—l appear for Mr. Sirrell, who, as has been stated by the counsel for the Crown, voluntarily surrendered himself in order to have a complete in vestigation into the charges alluded to. My client is, as is well known, under bail, to appear to answer other charges of a similar kind elsewhere, and he is most desirous that the strictest inquiry should be made into all the circumstances. I have bail ready to answer for his appearance at any time the Alder man may think proper to appoint to answer all accu sations which may be preferred against him. He surrendered himself by appointment, and gave no tice to the police authorities that such was his in tention. Mr. Powell—l shall call witnesses to a few facts. Inspector Lund, of the metropolitan- detective police, said—ln consequence of information which I received, 1 proceeded to 53 and £4, Barbican, with other officers, and found the prisoner there. I apprehended him upon two distinct charge; from these. Upon searching the place I found a quantity of plate. I subsequently discovered a silver tablespoon which be longs to the proprietor of the Rainbow Tavern, and which I produce. The letter "M" is on the handle or stem of the spoon, and is partly obliterated, appa rently by means of a file. While examining the spoon through a magnifying glass I perceived the words " Rainbow, Fleet-street." I also found three silver pepper castors with the arms six doves on a shield divided by ,a bar. I ascertained that the pepper-castors belonged to Mr. Henry Godden, who resides at Somerfield, near Maidstone. I have seen Mr. Godden, and he identified the pepper-castors as part of property stolen from his house on the 25th of the preceding month. Mr. Lewis, upon being asked by Alderman GIBBS whether he wished to ask any questions of the inspector, said—No ; as this examination is a mere matter of form, preliminary to the full investigation which my client courts, I shall not ask the witness any question. Edward Ashford, principal waiter at the Rainbow Tavern, in Fleet- street, said—Mr. Isaac Argent is the proprietor of the house. I can swear that the spoon exhibited is his property. lam responsible for the spoons and other plate. On or about the 29th of July last the spoon produced was lost. It was, I be lieve stolen from'the coffee-room, and several other articles disappeared at the same time. Mr. Lewis—Had any plate been stolen previously to that date from the Rainbow Tavern? Witness— Yes ; about eighteen months before that time some plate bad been stolen. Mr. Lewis—What is there upon that spoon which indicates that it is not one of those which had been stolen eighteen months ago ? Witness—l know that the spoon produced was purchased since that time from Mr. George Dismore. Mr. Powell—l do not intend to go further to-day with the charges against the prisoner, and request that he may be remanded. Mr. Lew - is—l have bail for the appearance of my client to any amount. He is, I repeat, most anxious for a searching investigation. Mr. Powell said he had nothing to say in opposi tion to the application of tho prisoner to be admitted to bail. Alderman Gins then consented to take bail in two sureties to the amount of 1001. each, and the pri soner's own security to the amount of 2001. Mr. John Eyke, of 58, Milton-street, and Mr. John Johnson, of 13, Whitecross-street, were the sureties. The prisoner was then told that the charge against him was that of having feloniously received a silver spoon and three silver pepper-castors, well knowing that they had been stolen, and that he must appear in the course of the following week to answer the charge. The prisoner then retired, accompanied by several friends. Richard Hamet Drake, a clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Robarts, Curtis, and Co., was brought up in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, charged with having robbed his employers of a considerable sum of money. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullein, solici tors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the prosecution. He stated that the bankers felt great pain in proceed ing against the prisoner, who had been many years in their employment, but they felt it to be their duty to prosecute in every case of the kind for the sake of public justice. The prisoner had absented himself for some days from the house, and another of the clerks was sent to look for him. The messenger found him in the country, and the prisoner. made a full confession of his delinquency, and said he would make a " clean brea , t." Mr. Bush added that the prisoner had writ ten down a statement of the facts, and although cau tioned upon the subject and assured that acknowledg ment of his guilt would he used against him, he would not retract his confession. The evidence was com plicated, but the amount which the prisoner was charged with having appropriated to his own pur poses was 477/. Hs. The prisoner, who admitted his guilt before the magistrate, was remanded. LAMBETH. Eliza Murray, a decent-looking young woman, surrendered to her bail to be further examined before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of unlawfully pawning some articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mary Jane Bagley. From the statement of the complainant it appeared, that hiving become pregnant by the footman of a family with whom she lived as lady's-maid, the pri soner, who a short time before had met with a similar misfortune, undertook to procure her a lodging where in to be confined, and to wait on her during her trouble. The prisoner got an apartment as she pro mised, at a house in North-street, Lambeth, and there they lived together until the 25th of September, when herself and her illegitimate infant were taken in a carriage to the house of a gentleman in Hyde Park gardens, where she was engaged as wet nurse to un infant, since dead. On leaving North-street, she left behind her a quantity of wearing apparel, and subse quently directed the prisoner to send it to her, but it was not until Sunday morning last that she received any portion of it, and the prisoner in sending it also sent two duplicates for a part of the property pledged. Oa Monday she went to the police station-house in Tower-street, and mentioned the circumstance to a policeman, and that person took the duplicates from her, and subsequently took the prisoner into custody. Richard Chisly, shopman to Mr. Wharton, pawn broker in the Westminster-road, producing some ar ticles of wearing apparel, which had been pledged by the prisoner on the 28th and 30th of September. The prosecutrix, in her cross-examination by Mr. Games, admitted that she had not paid, nor did she understand that she was to pay, the young woman at the bar anything fur her trouble in attending her during her confinement. She also admitted that the prisoner had pledged things with her sanction for their mutual support, but declared she had not given the slightest authority to pledge anything after the 25th of September. Mr. Games—Pray, did you pay all the persons you were indebted to before leaving your lodgings ? Pro secutrix—No ; there was some money title to my washerwoman, a coal-dealer, and others. Prisoner—This is cruel treatment, gentlemen, after all I have done for that person. I have even taken my ring off my finger, so that she might wear it and pass off as a married woman, and she has that ring, which cost me half-a-guinea, at this moment on her hand. Mr. Games, to the complainant--There is one ques tion I forgot to ask you, and that is, had you repre sented to the gentleman who took you away in his, carriage, and whose child you were engaged to wete nurse, that you were a married woman? Complain ant—What is that to you, Sir? I'm astonished at your assurance in asking such impertinent questions. Mr. Games—That impertinence will not do for me; and if you were ten times as impertinent you must answer my question. Did you, or did you not, re present yourself as a ;married woman ? Witness, after some hesitation—l did. Mr. Games—Have you told anyone thatyou would not think of adopting any proceedings against this young woman if you had not heard that she had been saying something against you ? Prosecutrix—l might have done so, as she took away my letters and spoke ill of me. Cockerell, a policeman, 108 L, here got into the witness-box, and took much pains to exhibit a few rags, which he said he had found in the prisoner's box and were not worth Is. Air. Games, in his observations on the case, de signated the proceeding as one of the most heartless that had for some time been brought within his notice, and commented on the conduct of Cockerell, the officer, who, according to his own admission, bad his (Mr. Gaines's) estima tion,the service. The fact s , as grow n haddea grown and w n stupid who in in disclosed to him by the young woman at the bar, were these :—The prisoner,who, though not having a direct, had an implied authority to pledge the things, had done so to support herself, as the complainant allowed her nothing, and to pay those debts which she, the complainant, had left unpaid. The present mistress of the prisoner said, that when Cockerell, the policeman, came to her house both she and her husband had given her that which they believed 'she deserved, a good character, but he insisted on taking her into custody. The landlady of the house where the complainant and prisoner had lodged gave the latter an excellent' character, and said it was her belief that she had pledged the things to pay the complainant's debte. i to Nofwitlutanding this the Magistrate seemed treat the charge against the prisoner as one o f a serf' ous description, and talked of sending her for trihe al S, but ultimately remandrd her to a future day. was, however, admitted to hail.
