Mr. Smith said he certainly bad not complied with the
atria rules of the act. but he thought it would be a vexatious
proceeding, it the trustees of the British Museum expected
a fresh copy for every little trifling alteration. Mr. Jardine
was quite sure the Misters of the British Museum had no
wish to act vexatiously, but tho strict letter of the law re-
quired a fresh copy to be deposited on every alteration. Mr.
Bodkin mid tas Mr. Smith leaded guilty, he should be
satisfied with tha a
nominal fine, p
and hoped that no further
proceedings would be necessary. Mr. Jardine fined Mr.
Smith Is., and the costa, 25., which were paid, and the
parties withdrew ; the summons against Mr. Wyld being
postponed.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— HARD LABOUR rost
A PERSON or DISTINCTION.—A person, who gave the
name at the station-house of henry Arden, but who was
proved to be the son of Lady Arundel, was charged with
having vaulted an Italian hay, and also a police-constable.
The offences werefully proved, and the magistrate inflicted
for the first offence a fine of 51., or two months' imprison-
ment; for the second, he committed the defendant for one
month to hard labour. Shortly after the committal, a gen-
tleman waited on Mr. Hardwick, and solicited him to sub-
stitute a fine for imprisonment on the defendant for the assault
on the poke constable, mentioning, by way of giving
weight to his application, the distinguished connexions of the
defendant.—Mr. Hardwick would by no means comply with
the applicant's request. Even-handed justice required that
he should make no distinction of persona—The applicant no-
tired, but in a short time returned into court, accompanied by
Lady Arundel, to renew the application for a reversal of the
original decision. The application was understood to be
unsuccessful.
THAMES.—Mare•LallGUTlnt.—Catlterine Donovan was
charged with the manslaughter of a boy, named George
Parker. The child had been at play opposite the
King's Head, in Limehouse Causeway, when the prisoner,
who was intoxicated, staggered against the child as a cart
was passing through the road. The boy was thrown into
the carriage-way, and the vehicle passed over his htdy,
cawing instant death. Three persons who witnessed the
occurrence, corroborated the evidence. She was committed
on the charge of manslaughter.

MONEY MARKET.

FIUDAT EVENING.

The English funds have been still more upon the
advance agtin to-day than was the case prior to the settle-
ment of the account, the state of the weather, which is now
not only beautiful, but apparently confirmed, the easier con-
dition of the money market and veri,us other circumstances
before alluded to, conspiring to keep up prices and to defeat
the operations of speculators for the fall, some of whom must
hsve suffered toe serious extent. It is, however, due to that
body to state that there have nevertheless been no defulca-
tions, none, at least, of sufficient consequence to become mat-
ter of conversation. The position of the corn market, in
klerk.l me, was, this morning, one that tended t the eleva-
tion of the public securities. for though the sup-
plies of grain, especially from the home counties,
were the reverse of excessive, still no progress
could be made with sales. An enormous sacrifice must have
been submitted to had parcels been pressed upon the buyers.
The tendency of businessaffairs gen./ally has been decidedly
favourable to maintenance of the stock market and to the
revival of confidence. Consols left off at 884 to 4 for money,
and 88/ to 1 for account. Exchequer Bills, Is. to 3s. pm.

difference. Amsterdam, 12.14 to 5 ; do. (sheet), 12.2 to 4 ;
