HAMMERSMITH.

Mary Ann Shadwell, aged 16 lean, who had the appear-
ance of being much older, was brought up on remand be-
fore Mr. Beadun, on the charge of being concerned with
another 'sung girl, not in custody, in stealing a quantity
of wearing apparel and other uncles belonging to Miss
Burdett Coutts's philanthropic establishment, called the
" Home," at Shepherd's Bush.
On the 29th ult. the prisoner and another young girl
about the same age were admitted into the Hom•,"
which establishment is entirely supported by th►t charitable
lady, Miss Burdett Coutts, for the reformation of young
females, from the Hones of Detention, Clerkenwell, where
they had been under remand for felony. The charge against
the prisoner was for stealing three silk dresses and other
articles from a house in Brydges-street, Covent-garden, sod
after she bad undergone two examinations before Mr. Henry
at Bow-street, she nu discharged, and admitted into the
" Home," in the hopes that she would become a better
girl. On Saturday morning, the 6th inst., the prisoner and
the young girl who entered the establishment at the same
time were found to be missing from the premises, and upon
a search being made the larder window, which had been
closed the previous evening, was discovered to he open,
which left no doubt that they had absconded from the house
by getting through the window and afterwards ►y climb-
ing the wall. The private parlour of Mrs. Morson, the
superintendent of t►e " Home," was found to be in a ter-
rible state of confusion, and everything in the apartment
appeared to have been upset. A number of articles were
missed from the room, including •crimson table cover which
had been taken off the table in the centre of the room, two
scent bottles with silver tops, two pairs of scissors, two
thimbles, &a., and from the kitchen they missed seven
metal spoons. On reaching the bedroom in which the pri.
loner and her companions had been sleeping, the superin-
tendent found that they had carried off five cotton dresses,
two merino dresses, two shawls, a suit of under clothing
eaeb, and other things belonging to Miss Burdett Coutts.
The prisoner we. apprehended is Covent-garden market
on Tuesday evening last, and on being searched at the sta-
tion in Hammersmith she was found wearing three of the
missing dresses, and also some of the other things which
she had stolen from the establishment.

Mrs. Moroen in!ormed his worship that the inmates of
the " Home" were at full liberty to quit the establishment
whenever they thought proper, by giving notice, and upon
leaving the "Homo" theyhad to change their clothing belong-
ing to Miss Courts and to resume their own wearing apparel.
The prisoner, ror her companion, had given any such
notice to quit the " Home," and they had absconded in the
clothing furnished to them by tLe establishment.

A gentleman, who attended with Mn. Morton, applied
to the worthy magistrate to deal summarily with the pri-
soner, but
. . .

Mr., Beadon refused to de to. as he thought It was a ease
where the prisoner ought to be severely punished, and he
certainly should send her for trial, as the extent of his
power was not at all adequate to the offence she had corn
milted.

The constable said he had not been able to apprehend the
other young girl.
The prisoner had nothing to say in answer to the charge,
and

Mr. Ileadon fully committed her for trial.

COTTON.—LITERrooL, Aro. 22.—The market cicstd
with heaviness, although the rates current on Friday were
unchanged. The sales amounted to from 5,000 to 6,000 bales
and comprised 4,000 Americans; 100 Bahi., 6td. ; 400
Egyptian, 7d. to 14d. and 300 Surat, Std. to 41d. per lb.
Impost since Thursday 30,000 bales.

SILK.—The annexed remarks are extracted Nom the
monthly circular of Ms ears. Durant and Co.: " With some
unimportant exceptions, we hurts had a quiet market for
silk during the last month; still the deliveries are large,
and the demand for thrown silk unabated, even at the late
unusually large margin upon the prices of the raw, showing
that the manufacturiug has for the present fairly surpassed
the mill power of the country. In China silk the transac-
tions have not been large, in Tattle* especially. Tap:tams
are still eagerly sought for, almost at improved prises.
Chinese thrown silk, too, has been bought eagerly for
arras], to the extent of 400 to 500 bales, at gradually im-
proving prices—the bulk at IGs. Gd., but some little
has been done at 295., an advance of Is. per lb. upon
last month. Is Canton silk also business has been
done—about 300 bales of the finest class, in which little
had previously been donator many months, have been taken
at the highest prices previously obtainable, although a trifle
under the expectations of importers. Some few small par-
cels of new silk, of the coarser sizes, have also arrived, and
been sold ; the continued scarcity of low price coarse silk
holds out good prospect fur some 600 bales supposed to be
afloat. In Bengal elk fair business has been done gene-
rally at better rates—the highest classes fully maintaining
their improved position, indeed 20s. has been paid ; coarse
good working silk continues very scarce. In Italian silk
the arrivals are not large, and nearly the whole to order—
at prices materially above the previous quotations for old
silk ; the high rates mentioned last month are no longer
considered unreasonable. In Brutia silk the arrivals have
been only 23 bales. In l'ersian silk 310 ballots, the bulk
of the previous stock, hes been sold, several parcels of the
better class for export."

CATTLE.—LTVEII POOL, Aug. 22.—The supply ot stock at
