THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

CLERKEN WELL
ATTEMPrED SUICIDE OF A NELDLEWOMAN.

Eli:a Farrow, aged 27, who described herself as a waist•
coat maker, residing at 52, Commercial-road, Lambeth, was
charged before Mr. Barker with attempting to commit
suicide, by taking a quantity of sugar of lead, at Central-
street, St. Luke l•
It appeared from the evidence of a police constable that
he was paging through Central-street, when be was called
to a chemist's shop, and the prisoner was given into hie
custody on a charge of attempting to poison herself in the
street. He was also handed a paper which had been taken
from the prisoner, which contained a portion of
a white powder, and which had marked on it,
" sugar of lead—poison." He took the prisoner to the sta-
tion, and acting under the advice of the divisional surgeon
he conveyed her tethe hospital. There, the surgeons, after
using the stomach pump, said they could not find any
traces of poison, and did not believe that she had taken any,
but if she bad it must have been removed at the chemists.
He next took her to the police-station and charged her with
attempting self murder and when the charge was read over
to her she did not make any reply.
Mr. Barker asked the prisoner if it was really true that
she attempted to take away her life.
The prisoner, who seemed to treat the matter with Indif-
ference, said she had purchased the poison with the full de-
termination of killing herself, and had taken it not caring
one jot for the consequences. The magistrate could do what
he pleased with her.
Mr. Barker inquired if the prisoner could give any
reason for her committing such a foolish act.
The prisoner said she had taken too much to drink, and
did not like to face her mother while in that state. She
was nearly mad.

Mr. Balker addressed the prisoner in very feeling terms
upon the folly and sin of attempting self-murder.
If she had succeeded in her rash act she would
in all probability have rendered her mother and friends
very miserable and unhappy for the rest of their
lives. If she had no real natural affections around her—if
she was lonely and fond of no one in the world—though
her heart ached for sins she might have committed—yet it
WE very cowardly and unwomanlike of her to attempt
to take away her existence. He should remand her to the
House of Detention until Monday next, and direct that the
chaplain should see her, and he trusted she would profit by
his good advice and instruction. In the meantime the
friends of the prisoner had better be communicated with,
and directed to be present on the day of the remand.
The prisoner left the dock in tears.
commirrat OF A DONKEY STEALER.
. . _

----
George Harris, a oosterrnoager, was charged with stealing
a donkey from the Caledonian-road, the property of George
Hale, a limmed hawker, residing at Paddington.
The prosecutor went to thehorse marketfor the purpose of
disposing of his donkey sad barrow, but as he mould not meet
with • suitable customer, heleft for the purpose of returning'
home. In the Caledonian-road he met some friends, and
"as times was very 'ard with all on 'em just then," he
treated them, leaving his donkey at the door. When he came
out the donkey and barrow were gone, ar.d no trace of
them could be found until the donkey was seen at the maw
market, Duke's-place, in the City, in the possession of the
prisoner. Police-000stable Amber, 661, City police, asked
him to account for the poweeion of the animal, and after
giving two or three versions of it, he at length said that he
had purchased "the mote" of a man in the street, whom he
did not know, and could not find. The barrow was not the
one stolen from the complainant, but bed been taken from
a yard in the New-cut.
The prisoner said he thought it jolly hard that a fellow's
life should be swore away by • man who only said the
rooks was his by • sore on his aide. (A laugh.) He
bought the mate of • man at Holloway, and the barrow of
• man at King's-cross. Of that he could take his Bible
I oath, sod he thought his word ought to be taken as soon as
the comAdatnant's.
Mr. Barba fully committed thburisoner to the Middle-
-1 sex Series' for trial and refined

A large quantity of propertyless produced in court.

I saw the prisoner wbo now gives the name of
Farley go down the area steps of the University Club. At
that time she aspired to have only a small basket with
her. At twenty minutes past two she came up the area
step from the kitchin with a very large parcel under her
apron. I fancied she was very heavily laden, and followed
her to Trafalgar-square, where she got into an omnibus. I
got in also, and on the journey to Somer's-town I felt'
that there wee something heavy in the bundle, and on
getting out of the omnibus I followed her some distance
and then @topsail her, feeling certain that she had something
besides clothes in the bundle. I told her I was a police-
officer, sod asked her what she bad in the bundle. She mid
" Only clothes I am going to wash fora friend." I told her
that I believed there was more in the bundle than clothes,
and she then raid that if that was the ease the things had
been put in by her friend. I told her that I knew where
she had got the things from, for that I had followed
her from the University Club. I then got a cab sad
moseyed her to Vine-street polio* station. On opening the
bundle the prisoner was carrying I found a quantity el
flora and two glass cloths, with the club mark on them,
and in the basket scene nip and butter. The prisoner wee
then searched by the female asarcher, who found on her
some wine glares and a tumbler. At the station she gave
the name of " Ann Bross," 4, St. Paul's-road. I went
there, but nothing was known of her. I afterwards went
to the University Club, and saw Berm. I told her that I
was • police officer, and that she had sent some things
to be washed that day. She said she had, and I
then told her that I should take her into cus-
tody for stealing a number of things from the
club. She said, " Yee, I know I have been very foolish,
and that I have taken many little articles, for which I am
sorry." From information I afterwards received, I went
to ID, St. Pool's-tsernee, and in the parlour occupied by
Farley I found 9 tumblers, 9 wine-glares, 6 decanters, 6
quarters' of door, 2 gallons of split per, and some towels
and cloths marked with the club mark, and a number of
other articles. On Pram seeing the property that morning
she said that some of the things belonged to the club, buKnot

Mr. Lewis —I cannot resist a remand so far as my client is
concerned.
Prisoners were then reamaded for a week,

AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY.

liifiEl DAY.)

This clay the half-yearly general meeting of pro-
prietors was held at the company's offices, Cannou-street ;
Yr. HAMILTON in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
included the payment of a dividend of 7s. fsi. per share;
and which, after some opposition, was agreed to.

Mr. Ribbed, M.P., addressed a meeting of his
constituents, at Oldham, last night. The hoe. gentleman,
in referring to the American war, said that although
heartily opposed to slavery, he could not approve of Pre-
sident Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. The policy
of non-intervention between the Southern States had so far
met with his cordial support ; but he thought the time was
approaching, if it had not already arrived, when in the
interests of humanity it might become the duty of England
to use her beet offices to stay the fratricidal conflict. He
thought we might, as in recognising other American stake
formerly, stipulate for an abolition of the slave trade or
slavery.
Tias MALT TAX.—At the monthly meeting of
the Central Farmers' Club last evening the question of the
operation of the malt tax was brought under consideration
and discussed at great length. The injustice of the tax, as
affecting both producer and consumer of malt, was almost
unanimously asserted, but • strong opinion was ex-
pressed against any partial remission of the impost.
Total repeal or the continuance of the louden was
declared to be the with of the farming community. Several
suggestions were mad* as to the best means of accomplish-
ing this object ; but that which seemed to elicit the
amount of favour was the example recently get by ttra=
growers, and the organisation of a central association in
Loudon, whose task it should be to concentrate the efforts
of the friends of abolition throughout the country, the
bringing their united influence to bear upon the next elec-
tions, and forming a compact party in the House of Corn.
moss pledged to complete an unconditional repeal.
MOM Pines AND LOBO or LlFE.—Several fires
occurred during the night—one with fetid results in the
premises of Mr. Thomas Fletcher, a hat maker, Na 1.,
Lombard-street, Mint-street, Southwark. Mn.s Pletcherhad
been engaged making a slight repast for • Mood, when a
spark flew out of the grate, and set fire to her clothing.
The flames mounted over her bead, sod her pitiable 111111•1111
brought assistance. The neighbours upon entering the
ground floor beheld a sickening spectacle ; the flooring was
horning furiously, and is the midst of the flames was Mrs.
Fletcher, with the whole of her wearies apparel burned off,
and her body burned almost as black as a coal. The poor
creature was quite deed. The deceased was sixty-on. years
of age.—About six o'clock this morning, a fire also happened
on the premises of Mr. J. W. Culp**, a fellmoogsr, No.
29, Bermoodsey-eqoars. A portion of the premises was
I extensively damaged by firs, and the contents nearly
destroyed. The building and the couteota were insured. 11
Saocaram Daara.—Yeeterday afternoon a report
became current is Lewes that Mr. Gresham Wiles, of the
' firm of Gresham Wiles and Brown, brewers, of Melling-
street, Cliffs, had been found drowned in a tun of beer.
On proceeding to the brewery to make inquiries as to the
truthfulness of the report, we found that it was unhappily
ton true. It appears that about half-past 1 o'clock Mr.
Wiles was talking for some few minutes to one of his men,
and thee went into the brewery. This was the last time
he was seen alive. Mr. Brown, his partner, made inqui-
ries for him shortly before 2, bat as he was not to be seen it
was supposed that be bad gone out, although it was • some-
what singular thing for him to do so, as he generally said
where he was going before be left the premlise. About a
quarter past 2, as George Ellis, one of the breWelS. was
looking into the tun room he observed Mr. Wiles's
coat hanging on one of the vats. He was then satisfied
that Mr. Wiles was somewhere about the premises, and was
about to leave the room, when his eye caught sight of • hat ,
floating on the top of a tun of bier, rod on 'saki • skier
isspection discovered the body of the misfortunate
He immediately called for 'metopes, which was at ores
nodered by the other men, and the body was taken out ;
• messenger having in the Milildilllll been despatched for
Mr. Macrae, surgeon. On the arrival of that gentleman
he at once pronounced him dead ; indeed, that het was
patent to everyone, as the body was nearly cold and stiff.
It is conjectured that Mr. Wiles, in going to the room in
question, perceived that the tun required skimming, and
them being no one war to do it took off his coat to skim
it himself. While thus mimed, it is believed that the
hews of the beer overcame him, and that he thou lost his
inhume and fell in.—Susses Express.

MONEY 11AEKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocx.

The funds to-day are quiet, and the market is
rather dull in character, attention being almost
exclusively occupied with preparations for Thurs-
day's settlement. Consols are quoted the same as
they closed yesterday. The tendency to improve-
ment is checked by the abundant supply of stock.
English railway stocks are firm, except Great
Western, which continues to fall. Foreign stocks
are in good demand, and the business in Greek
Bonds is especially animated. _

At Paris this mOrning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Mites were quoted
70fr. 30c., being I per cent. better than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 921 to # for money and
the present settlement, and 924 to # for
the new account (March 5). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 921, ; ditto, for
account, 92g ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921,
; New Three per Cents., 921, I ; Red Sea
Telegraph, 21f, ex div. ; Bank Stock, 236 ; India
Stock, 224, 230, 229, 231; ditto Five per Cent.
Stock, 1081, len ; ditto Bonds, 9s. prem. ; and
Exchequer Bills, par, 4s. die.

A very large anioimi of business has again been done
in Greek Bonds, which are now quoted a trifle lower
than they closed yesterday, the latest transactions
recorded being at 20f and 201. Greek coupons have
risen considerably, having been last dealt in at 93.
There is a rise in Egyptian Bonds. Spanish securities
are steady, and Mexican fiat. New Granada Bonds
continue in demand, but the Land Warrants are
