IMPORTANT iTO PAWNBRORBRB.—Sarah Henry, the child who had been remanded on a charge of having stolen wearing apparel, from St. Thomas' Convent, was brought up for further examination. A young man, named Lewis Yoxhall, from tho shop of Messrs. George Cowell and William Kewley, pawn brokers No, 169, Brownlow•hill, attended, and produced a variety of shawls, and other property, that had been pledged at the shop, and two young ladies, pupils at the schools, identified portions of the property as belonging to them. Sister Mary Jane said the other property produced had been stolen Irons the schools, but the owners were not present. Sire knew it, however, to be the same property, and all the shawls and other things now produced by the pawnbroker's assistant, as pledged, were stolen from the school. Mr. Wybergh : All then things were pledged by this eaild at the Pawnbrokers, and I ask Mr. Clough what he intends to do in this case with the pawnbroker ? Do you inten 1, . Mr. Clough to proceed against him, and charge hin knewin2 it to be stole- Mr: him for :?lett property, uld do ;o, but I fear we cannot at. present s . - -- tLt cha ueal of dither' first, because Mr. Kewley is and he did not perhaps himself take in the property ; secondly he has a number of assistants who take in property in pledge, and perhaps Mr. Kinley did not know this property was pledged at his place at all. Mr. Maxwell : But surely Mr. Clough, you know that Mr- Bewley is responsible'for thA of his not here Mr. Wybergh said under act, the pawnbrokc le to a penalty for taking the presen ry well king any 0 of taking in stolen goods with s were stolen. He must know TRADE OF FRANCE IN 1855.-SOME STATISTICS The consumption of cotton in France, say M. Frederick de Coninck and Co., from whose _Revue, dated Havre, January, 1856, we borrow the following details, was greater than in any preceding year, viz., 76,000,000 kilos against 71,600,000 kilos in 1854, 75,000,000 kilos in 1853, and 72,000,000 kilos in 1852. Of coffee, too, the imports and consumption exceeded in 1855 those of any previous year, as follows : 1855 1854 1853 1852 Imported. kilos 38.000,000 35,000,000 27,000,000 34,000,000 Taken into Consump tion . 27,000,000 21,700,000 2 0,000,000 21,500,000 Some part of this great apparent increase of consumption in 1855, 5,300,000 kilos, is the consequence of a large quan tity being introduced under the imperial decree of July 14, and a part of it, though it has passed the Custom-house, has not yet ben taken into consumption. Making allowance for this quantity, the actual consumption is estimated at 23, 0 00,000 kilos, 10 per cent. above the average of the three preceding years. The stock of coffee in France at the end of 1855 was 10,400,000 kilos against 8,900,000 kilos at the end of 1854. Of the importations, 48 per cent. rrivcd in Havre, which supplied 51 per cent. of the sumption Ihe importation and manufact of sugar was as From French From Foreign _._ _ _ Colonies Made in France. kilos 1855 86,000:000 1854 82,000,000 1853 63,000,000 1852 .. _70,0,5,000 80,000 45,000,000 77, 1 00,00 , 69,000,000 Of the 80,000 tons of foreign sugar imported, 45,000 tons were re-exported, of which 30,000 tons were refined sugar. The production of home-made sugar fell off 39 per cent on the average of the four preceding years. These statements concern the crops of beet-root grown in each of ,he previous years, and consequently the last year's crop— that of 1855—is not yet manufactured, and is not yet taken into account. This will supply the sugar of 1856. Accord log to the number of manufactories now at work, the pro bable production is estimated at 80,000,000 kilos, or greater than in any of the previous four years. The actual consump tion of France is thus stated in tons : 1855. 1854. 1853. Native sugar ..... tons 59,000 66,000 70,000 French colonial . 87,000 81,000 66,000 Foreign colonial ..60,000 37,000 31,000 Total Deduct refined exported 30,000 25,000 18,000 Actual consumption ... 176,000 159,000 149,000 The consumption of 1855 was 11 per cent, above 18.54, and the consumption of 1854 was 7 per cent, above 1853. We may, therefore, infer . that the incr ease o f consumption noticed here, as well as in France, is d ue to some general cause, viz ., the general activity of business, and the general well-being of the people. Here, however, this has not been so remarkable in 1855 as in previous years. The average consumption - of all France of the three years was 161,300 tons. Indigo also shows an increase of importation and con sumption as follows : Imports. Consumption 1855 . 1854 1853 ...... ....... 12,265 1852 A large part of the consumption of 1855 consisted of Java and Kurpah indigo, which makes the increase of lcss importance by weight than itappears from the number of chests. The import of hides and rice into Havre, which may stand fur all France, were in— a full knowled .ild lit gcu buen property honestly ; ae must know that he was doing an illegal act in taking goods from her at all, and I think, therefore, there is a senior charge made out against him. The assistant said.thev did bow•they did not take in stolen goods. Magistrate: You have done so in this case, most assuredly, and you could not help knowing it. Was this property taken in by you or some other person ? The Assistant : I have seen the child's mother with her at the shop. Magistrate : Was the mother with her on any of the occasions when she pledged these things'? Assis tant: No, sir, not on any. Magistrate : So much the worse of any quantity of stolen property, and at any time, if pawn brokers were allowed, or permitted their assistants, to take pledges from children like the girl at the bar. He asked the young man where Mr. Kewley was ? and he replied at home in the shop. Mr. Wybergh : Who writes the tickets in these cases ? The young man : Sometimes one and sometimes another—the general practice is, however, for one to take in the goods and a second to write the ticket, asking for the name and address of the person pledging, but sometimes the person taking in the pledge writes the ticket also. In reply to Mr. Wybergh, police officer 304, who had charge of the case, said be could not find the tickets at all. The mother of the child, who appeared to be a decent person, was called. She said she did not know anything of the affair until Monday last, when for the first time she heard of the clothes having been stolen. She was very sorry indeed that her child should have done so, as the ladies were extremely good and kind to her family. The child had no occasion to do such a thing. Magistrate : Did you ever see any money with her, or did you get any of it ? Witness : Never, sir. The child said : I pledged them all myself, sir. Sister Mary Jane said the property now identified was worth about £3, but she could not tell the value of the rest of it. Mr. Clough said it wes right he should men tion something good of Mr. Kewley as well as the bad ; he had on some former occasions stopped property, and made some detections. Mr. Maxwell : But his conduct on this occasion is more than reprehensible, I assure you. Mr. Clough • I must say it is highly improper, indeed. The child again said : I pledged them all myself. Magistrate : And what did you do with money ? The child : I spent it—bought toffee for some of it. Mr. Clough : Did you give any of it to your mother ? The child : No, sir, Mr. Maxwell (to the young man) : You have taken in these different things at different times, have you, from this child ? The assistant :I do not know if we took them from the child. In reply to Mr. Wybergh, the young man said the first of the articles was pl f Ciged on the 9'h, and the last article on the 31st January. Mr. Clough : All in the Course of the month, which looks very cusp - cious. The young man was then sworn, and Mr. Wybergh proceeded to examine him at some length. lie said he saw the prisoner with her mother at the shop in Brownlow hill, but the mother was no► present when any one of the articles now produced were pledged. lie produced a variety of shawls, jackets, and mantles that were pledged, and in answer to additional ques tions put to Mr. Wybergh, he said he could give every information about those things except as to the person who pledged them; he could not tell whether it was a man, woman, or child that pledged them. Magistrate : Ido not think this a satisfactory account of the transaction by any means—how many assistants have you in the shop? Young man : We have three beside the master. Magistrate :Do you ask the name and address of every one pledging articles at your shop? Young man : No, not of every one. Magistrate : You ought, and are bound to do so. Mr. Maxwell then said : This is an important case, and one that must he thoroughly and minutely investigated; I will adjourn the further hearini to Tuesday, and then let the whole of your assistants con The case was then ordered " c,,rqrained to stan who said h Woman L ity of property which hia _ . . . . . . iven her to make up. In this case the prosecutor complained n strong terms of the conduct of pawnbrokers whotake in such sods, as he said they must well know, from the nature of the ,roperty and the party pledging, that it could not be bad ionestly. The prisoner was sent to jail for one month. (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.) CHARGE OF A , sAtur.—Two decent looliing persons, named James Cadmore and William Ackrovd, said to be employed about the Albert dock, were charged by a man named John Patton under the following circumstances. The complainant said he went into a beerhouse, kept by a man named Jones, in Shannon-street, and in a room there ho saw some fifteen persons. In a conversation that took place, the defendants called him a spy, and said he had been turned out of the Albert dock for improper conduct. An altercation took place, and, as the prosecutor alleged, they tore his coat, and took 3s. out of his pocket. For the defence it was shown that the room in the house was a private one, and that the complainant intruded himself into it. He was desired to leave the place, but he refused. The defendants did not wish to have him in the apartment, as they knew something not creditable to him in reference to the Albert dock. They totally denied the statement made about the boat and money. Mr. Mansfield said it was not at all likely that two re spectable men, holding position, would act as described. There was every doubt about the case, and therefore he would die miss the complaint. The defendants intimated that they would bring actions against Patton for having given them in charge. At the meeting of the Westminster Improvement Bond holders, a resolution was passed, authorising a committee to use such means as in their judgment would be best to obtain redress for the treatment they had received from the commissioners. THE SOHO MTJRDERS:—Saturday last being appointed for the interment of Mrs. Boasfield and her three murdered children, the vicinity of the St. James's workhouse, Poland street, was thronged by the public, and many hundreds fol lowed the bodies to the Brompton cemetery, where the whole of the bodies were interred in one grave. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFR.—OH Tuesday last the mar riage ceremony was celebrated at the village church of Angerstone, between Lady Emily Curzon, third daughter of Earl Howe, and Lient-colonel liingscote, C.B, M.P. The marriage of Captain the Hon. J. B. Drummond, C. 8., It. N. Commander of H.M.S. Retribution, with Miss Catherine Elliott, third daughter of Admiral the Hon. G. Elliott, was celebrated on Tuesday last, at St. Peter's church, Pimlico. It is stated that a matrimonial alliance will shortly take place between Lady Jane Hay, daughter of the Marquis of Tweeddale, and sister to the Duchess of Wel lington, and Sir Frederick Arthur, Bart, We are also enabled to announce the approaching marriage of Lady Rachael Russell, youngest daughter of the Duke of Bedford, and half sister of Lord John Russell, with Lord James Wansford Butler, son of the first Marquis of Ormonde. Sir T. Whichcote, Bart, is also about to lead to the altar Miss Montgomery, sister of Mr. Alfred Montgomery. DEATH OF A MISER.—An inquest was held on Saturday night before Mr. Bedford, the 'Westminster coroner, on the body of Frederick Hoffman, aged 41. The deceased, who was well-known about the neighbourhood for his penurious habits, was, it appears, engaged as a waiter and to take the hats of the company at a party given by M. Rothschild, a diamond merchant of 10, Argyll-street, on Friday evening. He arrived about eight o'clock, and performed the duties of his office, and at supper time ate very greedily. About three o'clock yesterday morning he was seized with a kind of fit in the supper room. and although medical assistance was immediately procured, he died in a few minutes. On the body being searched, the first thing which presented itself was some portions of poultry he had secreted during supper in hia pockets, and £36 in gold and twenty-one shil ings in silver. A Bank of Eneland note for £lOO. A deposit book of the Royal British Bank for £1,225. A deposit receipt of the London and Westminster Bank for £5OO, a bill of exchange for £l5 155., another for £25, a bank deposit receipt fur £l5O, three parcels of pearls, three of rubies, three of diamonds, one of rough diamonds, one of emeralds, and one of garnets. Forty-one sovereigns were subsequently found in the fob of the deceased's trowsers. Mr. Chappel,surgeon, said he had opened the body, and in his opinion death had resulted from serous apoplexy. Mr. Rothschild said deceased had the precious stones from various parties to sell on commis sion. The money he knew nothing about. He was supposed to be so poor a man that, some time since, a subscription was raised to send him into the country for the benefit of his health. A verdict of natural death from serous apoplexy was returned. Dogs charged .4•'3ea Goods, &c., will be tak • Philadelphia, at 4 dollars 80 cents per Pound sterlip, Apply, in Philadelphia, to John G.

Of rice the con sumption Iras increased threefold in t en y ears , re f ut i ng the opinion of those who asserted that it could never serve as an auxiliary to the food of the people of France. The total wheat and flour imported into France is esti mated by M. Coninck at about 5,000,000 hectolitres. Ac cording to the Afoniteur, however, the total quantity of cereals imported in 1855 was 4,109,589 metrical quintals; and though no exact comparison can be instituted between the measure and weight of such different substances, vary ing so much in quality as corn and flour, we may state that the metrical quintal is something like one-third:more than the hectolitre, which tends to reconcile the two statements. Though the export of cereals from France were consider ably less in 1855 (957,581 metrical quintals) than in 1854 (1,596,206 metrical quintals), a considerable quantity more, says 51. Coninck, must still he imported before next harvest, to supply the deficiency of the last harvest. Spain and the United States seem the only countries, he adds, from which any supplies can be expected. The effect of the war on the consumption of saltpetre is shown by its having been 4,000 in 1855 against 1,600 tons q 54, and against 1,900 tons the average consumption of years@ . _.:.,,, entering Havre in . 7 : 55: 4 a 8 .5 , li t ._ the previous 1.,.. , - '‘, any year of the The tonnage of the shipp..., 900,000, which is in excess 62,000 t0n.... last twelve, and 402,000 tons more than enterea to ._ the smallest year of the series. All these facts indicate that the trade of France has been very extensive in 1855. THE LANCASTERIAN SCHOOLS A presentation soiree to Robert Dun, Esq., head master of the Lancasterian Schools of Edinburgh, was given in Sin clair's Hotel, Waterloo-place, the Rev. D. Campbell, of Luss, in the chair. After a service of tea and singing of the Queen's Anthem, the chairman delivered a long and eloquent address on the origin of the Lancasterian schools, and the immense amount of good of which they ha I been productive. When Mr. Dun, he said, had been appointed master of the schools, in 1827, he found them, as regards numbers, perfect wrecks; but, under his care, they have improved rapidly and progressively. He then paid a graceful tribute to the talents and industry of the ister aid brother of their guest, Miss Dun, and Mr. John Dun, who . for twenty years, had been associated with him in the work of instruction. It was gratifying to know that nearly 7000 boys and girls had been educated during Mr. Dun's con nection with the schools. The rev. gentleman concluded a very able address by describing the working of the monitorial system, and the combination of religious with secular instruction, which, under Mr. Dun, had been highly successful. Mr. Colquhoun, the secretary of the Lancasterian club, then read a scroll, bearing the signa ture of nearly 100 of the former pupils, expressive of their obligation to Mr. Dun. and their admiration of his scholarly attainments and manly worth. A presentation to Mr. Dun was not now mooted for the first time. Again and again had it been attempted, but his modesty had led him uniformly to object to it, and on the present occasion he had in a manner been compelled to yield to the wishes of the club. The secretary then read letters of apology. for absence, from Mr.:John Gray, Mr. David M'Lagan, and others. The Chairman then, amid cheers and waving of hand kerchiefs, presented Mr. Dun with a silver tea-service, bearing the inscription, " Presented to Robert Dun, Esq., of the Lancasterian'Schools, Edinburgh, as a mark of the high estimation in which he is held by his former pupils." Mr. Dun replied in a very feeling manner. The Right Hon. the Lord Provost said it had been his fortune to be connected with the Lancasterian schools for a long time,ffirst as secretary, and then as a director. He had also many opportunities of knowing how other schools are conducted in Edinburgh, and he might safely say that, with all his experience, he could place no seminary that he knew of in comparison with the Lan casterian schools. They are conducted with an amount of talent, and, he would add, of affection, that cannot be anywhere surpassed ; and he never had occasion to go to that school without feeling that Mr. Dun was an ornament to Edinburgh. Professor Pillans had much pleasure in giving testi mony to the ability and worth of Mr. Dun. He (Profes sor Pillans) was one of the few now living who met on Calton Hill many years ago, when Lancaster visited Edinburgh ; and a more remarkable meeting had hardly ever taken place, not for the numbers, but for the char acter of the meeting. He had every opportunity for know ing the progress of the Lancasterian Schools, and he was happy to say they had exceeded all his expectations. When distinguished foreigners or other strangers visited Edinburgh, and expressed a desire to see it remarkable institutions, he invariably directed them to the Lancaster ian Schools ; and he had never found them disappointed. He had always held up Robert Dun as a man who deserves a statue; and, assuredly his labours would jus tify the country at large in bestowing upon him some still more substantial mark of honour than the present tangible outpouring of gratitude from his former pupils. During the int erva l b etween the addresses, the meeting was enlivened with several airs on the piano -forte, and with vocal music and recitations. We understand that Robert Dun, Esquire, so very favourably mentioned in the above, is a brother of the Messrs. Dun, schoolmasters, Birkenhead. SECOND TRIAL OF THE REV. PR. VAUGHAN.--On Satur day the Rev. Dr. Vaughan was tried at the Central Criminal Court on a second indictment preferred against him for tampering with the parish registry of Brixton, an d acquitted. There was a third indictment against Dr. Vaughan on a similar charge, but it was abandoned by Mr. Serjeant Wil kins, who conducted the prosecution. LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING. -.__- From the elaborate statement made by Mr. Le vie ..': l Monday evening, it ap pears t h at all the local dues 1e 0 f on shipping in 1852 for all purposes was 1,095, 3 7 g, which 820,0991 was expended in he service of shiPl s ' o s and 275,297/ in other purposes. Leaving the larger Su untouched, the government proposes to relieve theively, ping of the latter sum, either at once or prosPe n , t o en the passing tolls levied, of which 12,000/ are for -v 4, 1111 14,000/ for Ramsgate, 2,835/ for Bridlington, and , s lbl o for Whitby, amount in all to 37,4961; while it is if°l 3° " er be from the nature of these harbours that they can i ev es fito used by the bulk of the shipping on which the a n ste r levied.

Gentlemen s oh liberty to spend their own money if they ptease e tl 4o objects, but it is not to be endured that our s h 'ibeSii should be taxed a single farthing to pay fli t t oe* These are only speci mens o f anc i ent tolls an d c o originally levie 1 for the benefit of individuals; oo o tinued to our time.

All these charges ,4 to however, n ow t o b e got rid of. Having a due rega t ' ne o all vested inte res t s , t o a l l the creditors to whom to tolls have been pledged, the government has subrnitte sD d parliament a plan at once comprehensive, equitable,°Dit, minute, for relieving the shipping from all taxes lefie d ,. o 4 for other purposes th an t o pay for services nerie e „,' telt There are several remna n t s o f t h e old protective 5,4080, such as making compen sa ti on out of the eonso.lerlf fund to certain corporations and pilots who had to7 o ot a right to levy double fees on foreign ships, whi, e b tit reciprocity treaties have put an end to, and wh' e .. de nation has taxed itself to pay. This is a growing eh_ f !' ° ;o o amounts now to 52.0001, h.tving been 22.0001 in 15140 is to be got rid of. The result, according of Mr. Lowe's speech, is, so far as the consolidate d t y is concerned, on which this sum is charged,—talLtigtb4 account between the consolidated fund and this bl o c , that fund will gain by getting rid of this annual bu r n ( Dot to the con e: 52,0001, which would increase with the increase th e trade; and it will lose 60,0001 in all, by paying ' OO .O debts upon the Whitby and Bridlington tolls. As boll the shipping interest is concerned the result of the WO change, according to Mr. Lowe's statemeut4, 43 6l4 be immediately to b ene fit it to the amount of 4.
