WESTMINSTER.—CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST •
G Ramis " Saaossas."—A native of Germany, who gave he r
name Frederika Asp, was charged with uuling 10 sovereigns
froth the residence of Mr. James Thornas Roberts, a short-
hand writer. The accused, who was oa viaiting terms with
Mn. Roberts, to whoa she had represented herself u a
German baroness, called on Friday
ilast, and daring her stay
Mrs. Roberti placed some dresses n a box, in which were
kept two others containing cash. The prisoner appeared
very desirous of knowing the contents of the small boxes, and
indeed was so inguiaitive with respect to the one containing
, gold, that Mrs. Roberta gave her an evasive answer. In •
few minutes after this the prisoner requested a sight of
Mrs. BcbssWs keys, assigning as a reason that oho
had miskii her own, and wanted to see whether
those beiseging to prosecutor's wife would be of
any MAN , but, on being shown them, said they would
not de. Mrs. Zeiss% went out, and left the prisoner alone:

that she had no more money. She offered him

to gold chain and some trinkets, which he
to take, and she asked her landlady to give him 81., which,

with the two soureigrs she had, would make the 101. She
was given into custody, and, en her apartment being ,
searched, six sovereigns were found under the looking-glass. I
An interpreter having made the prisoner acquainted with
the evidence against her, she stated, in reply, that the prose-
cuter invited her to his house, and made her very welcome.
When charged with the robbery she offered to restore the I
101. missing, because she was most respectably connected,
and would have offered even more if she had had it, sooner
than such a charge should be made against her. She
accounted for the poesemion of the six reig.e by declar-
ing that Frederick, the head-waiter at the loyal Hotel,
Blackfrius, had lent it to her lest doe should be in waist of
money, as she did not know how soon she might have
°carton to travel.—Mr. Broderip remanded the prisoner
until TneedeLthe 15th inst.
LAMBETH.—SIIIIIOVe CHASOR or SHOOTIFrO AT a
YOUNG LADY.—Last evening Mr. Arra MarsAaU, a young
man of respectable appearance, wasbrought into court and
placed at the felon's bar, on a charge of shooting a loaded
pistol at Louisa Rote, with intent to do her some grievous
bodily harm. Mr. J. Bailey. a commercial traveller, residing
at No. 38, Swan-place, Old Kent-rod, deposed that on the
preceding evening, between the hours of eight and nine
o'clock, himself, his wife, and step-daughter, were sitting in
the front kitchen, when they were much alarmed by • loud
noise in the hack kitchen, and on going to see what wee
the matter, he found one of the panels of the door forced in,
and a large stone, which had evidently caused the injury,
outside. He then returned to the front kitchen, when he
distinctly beard the report of a pistol-shot, and one of the
squares of glue in the front kitchen was broken by the shot.
Ho rushed up stair, and upon looking out at the window
saw the prisoner, another young man, and a young women,
in a court close to the house. The prisoner at that time had
a pistol in his hand, and appeared to him to be re-loading it,
while his male companion was supplying him with paper
or wadding. At this time his step-daughter came up stairs,
and, standing clue to the window, was about to put her
head out to look after the parties, and the instant the pri-
soner saw her he presented the pistol towards her. His
female companion, however, caught hold of his arm, and
evidently prevented him from firing. Witness gave informa-
tion of the circumstance at the station-house, Locks-fields.
—The sect witners sailed was Miss Louisa Rofe, an exceed-
ingly pretty young woman, who, upon being sworn, deposed
that she had known the prisoner for eight years, and during
the whole of that time they had been very much attached.
" I was advised," she said, by many persons who could be
no friends of mine, to get married to him, but I declined
doing so ; and about a month ago I made up my mind to
discontinue his acquaintance ; and without any quarrel I
told him so." The further evidence of the witness went
merely to corroborate that of her step-father. Inspector
Valentine, of the P division, deposed that on apprehending
the prisoner that day, he informed him of the cheese against
him, when he strongly denied having such a thing as a
ledgeistol in his pusession, though he at the same time acknow-
d
throwing two or three stones at Mr. Bailey's
door. He (Mr. Valentine) had examined the house, and
found the brickwork injured about a foot above the
kitchen window, in the same way as if a charge of shot had
been fired there; and the window, in his opinion, bad been
broken by the shot striking it after rebounding from the
wall. He had examined the ground close to the wall, and
found three grains of shot, which he then produced.—Mr.
(hues here examined the grains of shot produced, and after
doing so, declared it to be his firm conviction that they had
been fired out of a pistol at all ; and that at all events
they had not struck the brick wall, for if they had, they
would be nearly, if not wholly, flattened, whereas they were
in their perfectly rounded condition.—Mr. Elliott examined
the shot himself, and ultimately remanded the prisoner.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVEWINO.
The funds were unfavourably affected by the report
obtained at the Stock Exchange in the course of the
day of a further rise in the price of grain in Mark-
lane, the advance in wheat being, as it was under-
stood, about fis. per quarter on the rate of Monday
last, an effect of short supplies from the home counties
and of the rumours abroad of the potato disease
having once more become prevalent in many parts of
the British islands. Consols, which began at 88,1,
declined to 88t, and left off at 881 to ? for the
account, and 871 to a for money. Exchequer bills
were quiet at 341. to 6s. premium; and India Bonds,
have been held with more firmness, at Is. to ss. pm.
In the foreign house the principal action was on
the Portuguese market, which declined 2 per cent,
owing to the apprehension of many as to the con-
tinued payment of the dividends. It appears that
there is something of a hitch about the annuities due
on the let of the mouth, and, in future, there may be
more difficulty in procuring extraneous aid, as was
the case on the last occasion of the dividends falling
due, when the services of Messrs. Baring and Ca
were called into requisition. Portuguese Four per
