EVENING EDITION. .... SFIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• (FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (From the Globe.) It is with pleasure that we seize any symptom of good-will in the French Press ;—or rather of self-inte rest rightly understood—for surely French and English interests aught to be reconcileable. There are no two nations that can do each other so much good, or so much harm ; there are no two which, having known each other so well as enemies, should be so glad to be friends, and indeed a good hearty enmity is some times the precursor of firm friendship. " The French are noble enemies," was said by one of our Peninsular analists, on occasion of some cour tesies exchanged in the intervals of combat. It is certain that French and English learned to esteem each other in the course of the last war for qualities which there can surely be no occasion to put again upon trial. The French and English are not natural enemies, if their mutual interests had ever been clearly and calmly considered, and properly understood. We must say that the progress towards a right understanding has gone farther in this country than it appears to hare don amongst our neighbours. For this there may be many rea sons—a principal one, in our opinion, is the greater matu rity at which sound commercial principles have arrived in this country. We, in England, have ceased to think our prosperity dependant on the depression of others. We know it is difficult to persuade others of this truth ; and the maintenance of our Corn-laws, by a dominant class, does not aid our proselytism. Nevertheless, it remains a truth, that the public mind of this country has changed, as regards the influence which commercial feelings have on our policy. Those feelings no longer prompt attempts at exclusive commercial advantages ; England seeks not to monopolise any channel of commerce that may be opened. England seeks not to shut out any nation from the treaties formed for her own trade. This is notorious in all our recent commercial transactions with other Powers ; yet many amongst our neighbours still persist in re garding us as representatives of all the grasping mono poly of the old Mercantile System. Le monopole Bri tannique is a familiar sentence on the lips of French men ; and French patriotism is supposed to consist in seeking to destroy this British monopoly. Thus, while it is most unquestionable that we do not act on exclu sig, principles, our neighbours have determined to pre same that we do—and that accordingly they are justi fled in putting in force against us precisely those exclu sive principles which we have set the example of sacr' ficipg. (From the Standard.) We rejoice to learn that the friends of Lord Lyeil burst entertain the most confident expectation of that Nobleman's election to the office of High Steward of the University of Cambridge. The members of the bar have come forward, as with one accard, in Lis support. It would, indeed, have ri.fleeted but little credit on them had they been sup'ne on an occasion on which an opportunity is offered them of doing honour to so distinguished a member of their profession. It is not, however, as a lawyer alone, although in that character he is pre-eminent, th , t we would claim for Lord Lyndhurst a prefe rence over het young, amiable, and accomplislied competitor. For upwards of twenty years he has championed the most valued institutions of the country, and fiiled—with how much zeal, and with what splendid talent, it is unnecessary for us here to tieseribe—'several of the most important of eea in die Sate ; the . only Lord Chancellor from the Univer sity of Cambridge who had held the seals for ball a century. But- if the academical honours Lard Lyttieton is to be assigned as the motive for puttiag him in nomination for so high and honourable en office, surely thon,of Lard Lyndhurst are of a nature which it is tquaiiy impassible to overlook. T.ue comparative number of college ineilals, however, .riuglit nor to he the criterion of iitni.ss on such an occasien. With the highest respect for college honours, we do riot 11.13 that they are often suceet-ifed by such a career a 4 that of Lord Lyndhurst. It sometimes happeii.-, that they are the only distinctions a roan ot.)- tains through file. It is with no desii-e to ilispar,ge Lord Lyttelton that we Zarin, what the most zealous 4of his friend: must admit, that his pretens-ons bear tio sort of comparison with those of L ird Ly n ; !. burst. It is true, we believe, that Lord Lytt..le too was rot aware that Lord Lyadnurst weeid necotne c tudidate when he firer appealed to the Uei versity ; but thi.: fact will aot relit:No him from the im putation of presumption should he continue the con test now that be is aware that there is such a coinpeLi tor in the 11:1(1. _ (From the Courier.) It is pleasing to find that Lord Ashley's labours in behalf of the poor children who are employed in vari ous manufactories and processes for periods destructive o their health, have forced the appointment of a Gmi mission of Inquiry. We copy the following announciment from a recent number of the Gazette :—" The Queen has been pleased to constitute and appoint Tulinls Tooke, Esq., 'rhoir..ts Southwood Srnii D.. +O - with Ltouard ilorner and Rober t S hinde rs, Esqrs. (t'vo of her M. ljesty's laspcctors of FactiOties), to be her lI , j ?sty's Commissioners fur in quiring iuto the employment and condition of cinl dren to mines and manufactories." Now, a Com mission for such a purpose might have proved high:). creditable to the Ministry, had the mombers composing, it bier, selected from such as are dis f.ssed to reader impartial justice to both sides. But with the infatuatioa which has marked the whole pro. giess a the present. Cabinet, the opportunity of acquir ing the good opinion of by far the greater part of the nation has been east aside, apparently as worthless, kith! the Commissioners are chosen from the Political Eeono mists--a set of modern theorists, who notoriously prefer the acquisition of pelf to the rights of humanity as regards the many who toil for the benefit of the few. We do not apply this remark to the gentle men selected to investigate the facts relating to the working of mines and manufactories, but to the ge neral body of men, who, under the specious pretext of science, constitute the gratification of pecuniary cupidity the welfare of society. The gentlemen in question tr., not, indeed, go to the extremities of their sect. hut it Dot unreasonable to suspect that they may be influenced by the delusive theories which have of late years been a dvanced detrimentally to the rights and interests of the wor;. - ing classes. Under all the circumstances as they prese.at themselves to our view, we cannot anticipate much mood to result from this Commission, but shall re joice to find that we have formed an erroneous estimate. SIR YREDERICK AND LADY LOUISA JOHN• STONE.-at correspondent informs us that on the evening. of Saturday, while the bride and bridegroom were on their sway to Hampstead Park, Berks, aiter their marriage, their carriage was overturned in consequence of its hay paesed over a heap of gravel at the roadside. Neither Sir Frederick nor Lady Louisa sustained any injury ; but her Ladyship's maid, who was in the rumble, was a good deal hurt, and the carriage received some damage. .1 Jew, who gave the name of John Goldrich, was brought before the Magistrates at the Town-hall, Croydon, on Monday, upon a charge of illegally dig. posing of a number of watches, and other articles of jewellery, that had been entrusted to him by parties living in the neighbourhood of Croydon and Mitcham. under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the prisoner is one of those petioles who travel about the country evith a box of " jewellery," which is made up in Houndsditch for the express purpose of deceiving, by its gaudy appearance, the inhabitants of the country districts, and which, of course, is not of the least intrinsic value. He locatel himself in the Dog and Bull yard at Croydon, and as the Miteham people generally stop at this house, he contriveed to scrape acquaintance with a great number of them, and induced them to let him have watches, brooches, and other articles, to repair. Repeated applies tiona were made for the restitution of the property, but without effect; and at length Mr. Goldrich quietly de camped. A person named Adams, who had given him a watch to repair, upon this proceeded, in company with a police constable, to London, where they found the prisoner, and he said that he could not give up the watch heesuge he had given it to a watchmaker who re fused to give it up until he had paid him some money he owed him.. The prisoner was then taken into custody, and upon tihe constable searching him, he found a great number of duplicates for watches, brooches, &c., in his possession, and the prisoner admitted that one of the dupli cates referred to the watch that Adams had given him, and the otleers to property that had been entrusted to him by other parties. In answer to questions from the Mao:a. trate, it w-as stated that a great number of people had ben defrauded. in this way by the prisoner. The prisoner w:io did not mate any answer to what was said against him, was remanded for further examination, when it is expected that a greet member of cases will be proved against him. W e anu at length iu a condition to announce a fact, whim we have for some time desired to make k n own, to ihe public—that it is in contemplation to invite the Liberator to the North. The friends of O'Connell, in Belfast, hag* long been anxious to ace him among them ; and it will Alas the recollection of our readers, that a deputa tion front this town waited upon him in Dublin, with an invitation to a public entertainment, in April last. It was not then aconverient for him, being on the eve of his de parture to :Darrvnane, to conic to the North; but he. pro mised to ratify his zealous friends by a visit at som e other period. Ilhat period, we trust, has at length arrived. On Saturday it's adjourned meeting, on the subject, was held at the Vice/ iris News room, and a highly respectable de putation appointed to wait upon the Liberator, at his ear liest conver ience, with an invitation to a public dianer in Belfast. The deputation will leave town without delay, a communicastion having, meantime, been sent to O'Connell, requesting tthat he would name a special day to receive them. This step has long been in contemplation , arhi was only relayed that the announcement might reach O'Connell in Drogheda, and inform him, while nu rho borders of tdi a North, Alia his true friends• in the capital of the province, were anxioug to conduct him over the Rubicon, VI a victory over the hereditary prejudicea of Ulmer. The Belfast News Letter copies the above notice from i's Contemporary, the Vindicator, for the purpose of depre eating the, contemplated visit :—" If we are to have a repeal irretption into the town of Belfast we forewarn the intelligent repealera, we forewarn the civil authorities, and we forewarn the universal üblic, that mischief in. I calculable may be rea sona b ly a p prehended. We h done our duty, and, as s , ffi p. . cient time is still left for tt.e adoption of preventive measures, the parties appealed to will be inexcusable if the intimation which we have giv ers A. ll ll be neglected. The North,is not t h e arena in which rash rasir 4e xperiments may be safely ees..!o.e BANKRUPTCY COURT. IN RE MESSRS. SMITH. Yesterday the bankrupts in this case appeared in Court to pass their final examination. They had carried on business as ca binet-makers in Hatton-garden, and in curred liabilities to the amount of 23,0001. The avail able assets consisted chiefly of a large private property in Scotland, belonging to one of the bankrupts, named Richard Smith (to whom the official assigned allowed 41. a week as maintenance) and some copyhold and free hold property of the other bankrupts, who received the sum of 21. 10s. under similar circumstances, and who now applied for a further addition of 1/. 10s. weekly, stating that he had a family of ten children to support, and had given up all his furniture and other property for the benefit of his creditors. Mr. Commissioner EVANS said it appeared to him from the examination of the accounts that Richard Smith had a large private property, and was, therefore, entitled to a more liberal allowance. When a man owed 23,0001. he must be content with a very moderate means of subsistence. It was not his (the Learned Commissioner's) duty to propose any additional allow ance to the official assignee, yet he should most cheer fully accede to any proposition of the kind coming from that gentleman. The Applicant then requested that he might be al lowed to enter a claim on the estate for 151. for wages due to his daughter. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he would allow it to be entered, provided the bankrupt could prove by his books that he had previously made any payment.; to his daughter on that account. The Solicitor to the fiat applied to know whe'ier some mahogany which was detained under the toll w ing circumstances, should not be given up for 'lie general benefit of the creditors :—The bankrupts v re indebted to their timber-merchant in the sum of GC 1., and having purchased a quantity of mahogany fr. It him, it was left at his wharf, and orders of delivery sent whenever the bankrupts required any. It was con tended, on the part of the creditors, that the wood was ' bona fide the property of Messrs. Smith, and that, therefore, seven logs which still remain should be given up, as the timber-merchant was only acting as whar finger. The Learned COMMISSIONER decided that there was a lien on the goods, and the present holder of them would be entitled to prove off the bankrupts' estate less the value of the property detained. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A very fashionably dressed young man, who stated to the policeman who apprehended him, that his name was Henry Lechmere, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having obtained goods under pre tence that he was shopman to Messrs. Evans and Liberty, of Piccadilly. He did not appear to be more than nineteen or twenty years of age. Mr. Charles Warwick, of Cheapside, silk manufac turer, stated that the prisoner called at his house, and said that he was sent by Messrs. Evans and Liberty for three dresses. He looked out the dresses, the value of which was 4/. 10s. and took them away. Sub sequently it was ascertained that the prisoner was not authorised by the firm, who knew nothing about him. The prisoner called again on another day, and upon being taken into custody acknowledged that he had been for the goods described, and that he had pawned them. He said that his name was Johnson, but it appeared that he bad another name. - The policeman who took him into custody, said it appeared from letters which the prisoner had about him, that his name was Mercer. Cuthbert, a City Constable, said that if Mercer was the prisoner's name, there was some o! her case of the same kind against him. The LORD MAYOR thought that the prisoner found it no very difficult matter to defraud the firm, and asked whether he wished to say anything. The prisoner said that he bad nothing to say but that his friends might not be informed of his situation. The relatives of the young man were said to be very respectable. Cuthbert said he suspected that the prisoner's depre dations were rather extensive. The dresses were produced and identified. The prisoner was then remanded till Tuesday next, when it is expected a large body of shopkeepers will be in attendance. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. MONDAY NlGHT.—O wing to the number of races the start for the first match was fixed for twelve o'clock, leav ing little time for speculation in the town. The only bets we heard on the Derby were 8 to 1, two or three times, against Cameleon ; and 30 to 1 each, in one lot, against Marshal Soult and the Arcot Lass colt. About half-past eleven there was a general move for the heath, and as a great number of arrivals had taken place in the course of the morning, as well as on Sunday evening, the scene be came exceedingly animated. Many reached the heath direct from London and Camliridge, but not being aware that the racing would commence so early, were not in time for the first and second events; however, there were still six to come off, and, as the Crite rion and Cambridgeshire Stakes were the last in the list, none had cause to complain of a deficiency of sport. The ring was large, and the show of carriage company exceed ingly good. There were present, besides other fashion ables, whose names we propose to give in a future report, the Duke of Portland, Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Earl of Chester field, Earl of Jersey, Earl Stradbroke, Lord C. Man ners, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord W. Pow. lett, Lord Villiers, Lord Godolphin, Lord S. Osborne, Sir S. Graham, H on . G enera l an d M rs . Hon. Colonel Anson, H on . G. S.

Stanley, Thorn hwillr,efFerodr,estTerh,eobaid, Fulwar C raven, D e l me R a d c liff e , Irby, Crommelin, Foul's, &c. The weather was fine. In the account forwarded from the Heath we gave all the particulars of the matches that their merits deserve, and have only to add the customary details of the run ning for the two great events, both of which, it will be seen, were carried off by extreme out-riders. Cambridgeshire Stakes—After two or three false starts the lot got away in good crder. The Dey of Algiers tak ing the lead, followed by Nubiae and Diderot, Clarion and Roscius lying in the rear; they maintained this order of running to the turn of the lands, where Roscius joined the front rank, and Clarion began creeping up. The Dey, however, maintained his position, Diderot and Nubian living with him till near the Duke's Stand, where they were passed by Rescius and Clarion, the latter being third ; half-way between this point and the finish Clarion sounded a retreat, and Roscius heading the Dey, made the rest of the running, and won cleverly by a length; about the same space separating the second and third. The winner was backed for a few pounds only at 100 to 3. We should add that, after the ring had partially dispersed, Diderot was backed at 5 to 1, and had a decided call of The Ruler, who was forward in the race to the turn of the lands, but was beaten off a long way at the finish, and ran in with Stamboul, 10, and the Busk filly. Criterion—The Marchesa filly made the running in com pany with Ralph at a killing pace, followed by Thistle Whipper, Cameleon, and Mosque till near the Duke's Stand, when Marchesa gave up, leaving Thistle Whipper in the second piace. Ralph had now a lead of two or three lengths, and appeared to be running away with the rac:, Thistle Whipper, however, struggled on, reached his quarters at the cords, and was only beaten a head on the pc,st; Crneleon was third, tire Marchesa f. fourth, and Mosque fifth; all close together, about a length and a hail from the first two. Tne winner was not named in the betting. The ring was formed as usual after the races, and se veral engagements entered into on the Derby at the fol lowing prices:— CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the CommoN SERGEANT.) Two men of respectable appearance, named Lilly and IVilson, were indicted for a conspiracy to defraud different tradesmen, by selling and pawning articles of spwious jewellery. Mr. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the pro secution ; and Messrs. Prendergast and Chambers for rile defence. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury at some long and detailed the facts of the case, as they afterwards appeared in evidence. Mr. Simmons, a jeweller, in Southampton-buildings, proved that the defendant Lilly came to his shop and sold a ring to him, which ring he represented to he made of Indian gold. The ring afterwards turned out not to be of near the value represented by the defendant. The defendant Wilson afterwards came wi , di a ring, apparently set with precious stones, which he cffered for sale ; but, in consequence of what he had ascertained, he declined to pur chase the ring, but detained it, and told the de fendant that he wes a " cluffzr" (A person who goes about defrauding tradesmen by such spurious ar ticles). Ho was very violent when he accused him of being a duffer ; and Lilly, who appeared to have been waiting outside the shop, came up, and demanded to know why the ring was d..!taiiied, and he ultimately eavie theta both into custody far creating a disturbance. The witness then de2.crihcd the arti,l,s off.r,(l to him b the defenda:;ts,•and ;LI that they w..rc ciAe ci a metal which would stand the ordinary test of 4quafortis, and they were, in fact, most ingenious deceptions, ell ciliated not only to deceive a novice, but even a jewel ler, unless he resorted to very minute tests. Ile witness was cross-examitaal at some length, Lot no material fact in favour of the defendants was elicited. Samuel Howes deposed that he _heed in Wood street, and knew both the defendants, and he had been rinployed by Lilly to pawn different articles, consist ing of clothes anal jewellery. The clothes and jewellery t:•: re made up for sale and pledaing, and witness was ai.vays desired to give an address near the shops where he pawned the articles. The defendants knew that the articles were not genuine. Among the articles that were pleiged was a pretended ruby ring, which was made up of what was cal'ed "doublets." He was always told to represent the articles as genuine, and in fifty or sixty instances he had been successful in pledg ing these spurious articles. He had pawned artic.es for as much as 4/. The ring he referred to cost about seventeen shillings " getting up," and it was expected to produce 2/. Witness bad some of the money pro [ dueed by the pawning. He pawned an article for 41. at a shop in Houndsditeb, and Lilly waited outside, and when he gave him the money, Lilly returned him a shilling. The ring now produced cost fifteen shillings, and witness was told to get 61. upon it, and he was told to say that it was a ruby ring. When he got the 41., Lilly told him that he had done it vary well. Upon one oc casion Lilly told him that he had made a Mr. Tomlin linson pay 2001. for detaining his goods. He knew that the defendant Lilly has sold spurious articles to different tradesmen. He never pawned any thing for Wilson. Mr. Richard Manners deposed that he carried on the business of a jeweller, in Regent-street, and he knew the defendant Wilson, and he came to his shop about three weeks ago, and brought three studs for sale, but suspecting they were not gold he refused to buy them, and told him if he came again he would give him into custody. The defendant left the shop, and witness saw another man join him, and they walked away together. A pawnbroker, carrying on business in Long Acre, prayed that Lilly pawned a bar of gold at his shop, w:lich he represented as of a certain value, but which turned out to be of much inferior value. The bar of go!d was never taken out of pledge. Henry Hamilton, shopman to the last witness, proved 'fiat Lilly came to the shop and sold a ring for 11. 15s. He represented that the ring was set with real stones, but they subsequently proved to he spurious, or what was termed in the trade " doublets." Mr. Tomlinson, another pawnbroker, proved that he k:iew both the defendants. Wilson, upon one occa sion, called at his shop, and produced a suit of clothes, and asked for the loan of 2/. 10s. upon them ; and he was asked where he lived, and he said his name wrs Thomas Wilson, and that he Eyed at an address which turned out to be false ; and finding this to be the case, be told the defendant he should detain the goods. The defendant demanded his goods back, but he refused to give them to him, and he went away, and came back with Lilly, and Lilly said they were his clothes, and demanded to have them returned to him. Witness told him he had taken them to the station-house, and it they went there and gave a good account of the pro property, it would be returned to them. Lilly said he should not do so, but would bring an action, and an ac tion was brought against theta, which he ultimately compromised. The clothes were what was called " duffers," made up for the purpose of deception. • Cross-examined—Had to compromise the action by paying 261. for retaining the clothes. COMMON SERGEANT—YOU must have been a very great goose to pay anything for compromising such an ac' ion. Mr. PHILLIPS—He was a goose, my Lord, and that is the reason he was plucked.—( Laughter.) Another jeweller proved that Wilson brought a ring to him, and offered to sell it, but his suspicions being excited, he tried the ring, and discovered the fraud, and he told the defendant to take the ring back to Mr. Walker, and told him to put some more solder on it, and sell it to some one else. (Walker was stated to be the person who makes up the fraudulent jewellery.) Several other pawnbrokers were examined who had been defrauded in a similar manner, and in one or ►tiro cases where the " valuables" had been detained by the pawn brokers, actions were brought , and they were coat• pclled to pay considerable sums of money to compro mise them. The clothes, it appeared, are what arc termed " duffers," or " riggers." The jewellery was made up of artificial stones, and the gold was of a most inferior description, although each article did really contain a small portion of that metal. The de fendants appeared to have been carrying on a most extensive system of fraud. Messrs. PRENDERGAST and CHAMBERS when the case for the prosecution was concluded, made a for !ible address to the Jury cn behalf of their resie rive clients, commenting strongly upon the fact that the defendants had not attempted to impose 1 , ion ignorant persons, but that they had gone to persons of skill, jewellers, and pawnbrokers, v• ho ought to have been acquainted with their busies, ss, and have known that the articles were not genui .e, and ought not to have been deceived by the mere hes told them, as to the value of the articles by the defendants. The COMMON SERGEANT summed Up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The LEARNED JUDGE, after remarking that the offence of which they had been convicted was a very s rims one, sentenced the defendants to be imprisoned in Ore Peeiteutery far eighteen months. 1 ili4 case concluded the business of the Session, and the Court adjourned until the 2.1 of November.

Til E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1840. BO W-STREET. George Bloomfield, an umbrella maker, was yester day brought before Mr. Jardine by Alan Phillip, 48 F, charged with stealing a number of umbrellas, value 101., together with a variety of articles connected with the trade, the property of Messrs. Sangston, of Regent- street, his employers. The of f icer said, that when the prisoner was .given into his custody on Saturday last, he went to his lodg ings, 10, King-street, Golden-square, where he found fifteen canes, four German silver tubes, six ivory handles, with a quantity of other property, which were identi fied at the time by the prosecutors. Edward Stenton, shopman to Mr. Cheek, umbrella manufacturer, Strand, stated, that about eight o'clock on Friday evening, the prisoner came to his employer's shop to ask it he thought Mr. Cheek would pur chase some umbrellas ; and witness told him if he called about one o'clock the following day, his master would be in the way, but he could nut say if he wanted any at present, although lie mizlit bring some as a sample. The prisoner then went away, and of Saturday he came again, bringing seventeen um brellas produced, arid having placed them on the counter, witness told him that time that Mr. Cheek was then engoged, and if he called again in a quarter of an hour he might see him. He accordingly went away leaving the umbrellas in the shop, and during his absence Mr. Cheek was looking over each of them when he returned, but he was told to corec , in again in an hour. Witness in thin meantime was dispatched to the prosecutor, to inform him of the circumstance, and on the return of the prisoner a policeman was sent for, and lie was give❑ in charge. Air. Wm. Sangston proved that the prisoner was in his service, and was in the receipt of about 2/. per we k. Being sent for by Mr. Cheek, he identified his property, and while in the act of doing so, the prisoner entered the shcp, when he said " Bloomfluld, is tied you. The prisoner immediately said " 1 have ali tie iiusine.ss to transact w:th Mr. Cheek." " That aiily he," r:p:ied witness, " but wlrit do these umbrellas mean ?" pointmg to the property on the counter. Toe pri.:ioner then seem - d confus:d,and said "They are only umbrellas I have been making up for myself." Witness asked hint where he bought the silk, but he returned an eva sive answer, and he told him, the less he said upan the subject the better, as they were all his property. He was then informed, that he should be given in charge for robbery, upon which he burst into tears, and begged, that such steps would not be taken against him, as it was his first offence. A constable was then sent for anti be was conveyed to the station•house. The prisoner declined making any defence, and he was fully committed for trial. He was again charged with stealing other property of a similar description, value 10/. and upwards, be longing to his employers. Joseph Biker, shopman to Mr. Atterhorough, pawn broker, 93, Charlotte-street, Fi;zroy•sga.:re, produced three parasols, and a number of ivory umbrella handles, which were pledged in the months of June and August for 11. 6s. by a person whom' be believed to be di, prisoner, but lie could not positively swear to him. The prosecutor identified the articles as his property, and they had never been sold from his shop. Mrs. Anne Sheen, who works o❑ the prosecutor's premises, identified two of the parasols as having been made by her. The prisoner made no defence, and he was fully com mitted for trial. The constable said he had the key of the prisoner's room, and as there was a considerable quantity of pro- • perty of the same kind in it, he wished to know if it was to be given up to the prosecutor The prisoner's uncle, at the request of the prose cutor come forward and said he would take charge of the key. Mr. Sangston said there were twenty-four dozen of work that he bad given the prisoner only last week, and he hoped there would be no objection to his again taking possession of them. Mr. JARDINE considered the prosecutor was justly entitled to them, and they might be forthwith restored to him. WHOSESALE ROBBERY BY A COMPOSITOR.--Wi/- liant Mason alias Boswell, a returned transport, and by trade a compositor, was brought up by Sergeant Eves, City Police, and Constable Pocock, F division, charged with stealing composing sticks and other articles from several printing offices. Benjamin Jones, compositor, at the Statesman weekly newspaper office, Burleigh-street, Strand, iden tified a composing-stick produced, which he left safe after his work was done on the night of Friday, the 9th inst., and which he missed on the following Mon. e.ay morning. Witness had no knowledge of the prisoner. William Bigger, a compositor employed in the same establishment, identified another composing stick, which he missed on the same day, and he never knew the prisoner. Robert Hartwell, another compositor, also identified a composing stick which he left safe on Saturday 10th inst., and which he missed on the following Monday. The prisoner said be could prove at a future day that he had lawfully bought all the property produced, and that he had paid for it honestly. He was then committed for trial. The prisoner was next charged with stealing several articles from the United Service Gazette office, Crane court, Fleet-street. Mr. Thomas Holman, publisher of the United Ser vice Gazette, identified twenty-seven printed books, a paper knife, and clothes brush produced, as being the property of Mr. Alaric Watts. Witness saw them sate previous to the 17th instant, with several other books and articles not produced, and he was present on Wed nesday last at the prisoner's lodgings, 4, Dean-street, Fetter-lane, when they were found in his box by the officer. Charles Mackintosh, compositor, employed at the United Service Gazette office, identified a composing stick produced as his prorcrty, which was sate at two o'clock on the morning of the 17th instant, and on his return to work the next morning he missed it.

THAMES TUNNEL —Yesterday the first stone of this gigantic undertaking was laid on the Wapping side of the river, at which interesting ceremony Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the works, took occasion to make a few re marks to the miners and others who have been engaged in its construction. He observed that they might soon expect to open a door for the shield on the south side, and that they could already hear the knocks, as it were, at the door. They might form an appropriate idea of the vast work they had accomplished, as the tide was then " at high water, and he was cordially thankful to them for their conduct and perseverance through difficulties and dangers without example, having had to contend with the four elements in their worst shve, viz , water under immense bodies, the earth occasionally in a fluid condition, fire formed by explosive gls:es, and air with the occasional m of th t e h s u e nd ca e u r. ses, M b a u n t y b ( e if tr t u he st i p r d c t o h m ey pa w n o io u n id a f b i a n d ce su a ff n e d re p d " from concur with bier in ail„, log s that their suff:!rinfp had been attentively alleviated RYA liberally relieved. Mr. Brunel concluded by drinking :he healthy of those who had assisted him by the labour of either to it hands or their heads, a sen• titnent that w,s responded to with enthusiasm by all present.

SUGAR. —The demand for British Plantation on Wed nesday last was very limited from both refiners and grocers, and on that day only 300 hhds, &c., were disposed of, but importers displayed firmness, and in prices little variation occurred, in some cases however a slight reduction was submitted to for the better sorts, but on Thursday and Friday the trade were more disposed to do business, and 950 hhds and tierces were disposed of at full prices. Jamaica low brown at 803, low mid yellow 81s to 83s, good mid 84s, good nearly fine 84s 6d, Demerara low and mid yellow 81s to 833. Antigua good bright 84s 6d, for low brown Berbice 78s has been rejected, the better kinds are cheaper in proportion to the lower sorts. The defi. cieney in the comparative stocks has further increased, the arrivals during the last week have been only 950 !Ads, whereas during the same time last year 2,152 hhds, were received; there has been no public sale. To-day the trade came forward more freely, and a good demand prevailed from the grocers for all descriptions, the refiners were buyers to a fair extent, the private sales amounted to 450 hhds and trs, and the rates of Friday were fully supported ; indeed, on those terms it was diffi cult to buy towards the close of the market.
