noon he was einct.d to watch the prisoner, who was Seen
loitering in frost of the shop-docr, where Demo calico
prints w.n exposed foe sale. Witness went oat of the shop,
unobserved by the prisoner, and moaned the road to the op-
pathe side of the street. Me had not remained there long
when the prisoner rantingly approached the shop door and
slipped inside the passage. She was concealed from the view of
any persons in the shop, in consequence of the articles which
were hanging on both sides of the entrance. Witness saw her
take down a pine of calico print, double it up, and place it
under her shawl. She wse in the set of walking away, wren
witness overtook her, and accused her of having stolen pro-
perty about her. She immedia'ely gave him the calico print,

and gave her into custody.

The prisoner persisted in saying that she picked up the
calico trim the pavement, and lett the hook trying loudly.

FRIDAY EVI2IIIIO.
A dell of activity was observable on the Stock Ex-
change to-day, ad conaiderant transactions took
place in the English fonds, which fluctuate ill per cani. I
during the course of business. Console being shut
for transfer until the 18th January, they are neces-
sarily negotiated for the opening without the divi-
dend, making a difference of 11 per cent. in the price,
less the "continuation." They were, however, done
for money with the dividend on at 971, and 1. For
the opening ex dividend they were first marked 96;,
next at 1, the highest they attained; they then became
weaker and were done at declining fractions until
they last marked 961, closing at 961 to t. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were extensively dealt
in ; they were first marked 981 and attained early in
the day 981, from which they declined to 97t, which
marked the last transaction.

' ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The half-yearly
general meeting was held this morning, at the society's
rooms, Ifanover•square, his Grace the Duke of Richmond
is the char. In the report, which was read by the secretary,
lengthened allusion was made to the tact that a large amount
of mean was due from members, some of them extending as
far back as 1843 ; and it was stated that the council had
determined to take proceedings in the county courts for the
recovery of then serous, in cases in which no attention had
been paid to repeated applications for payment. A discussion
too: platoon the subject, sad those present were urged by his
grace to do their utmost to induce payment in their respective
districts. It was alio stated in the report that, at the meat
meeting at Norwich, the receipts had for the first time
covered the experts's, the deficiency amounting only to 101.
The report was adopted unanimously, and the auditors were
elected.

Exchequer Bine were done at 515., and 545.; ditto,
5001. at 525. 51e. and 545.; ditto, Small, 525. and
545.; Bank Stock, 203.; India Bonds under 1,0001.,
88s. prem.
The bluffness in the foreign house was of every quiet
character ; Mexican Stock absorbed almost the entire
attention of the dealers ; it was done at 291 for account ;
Cuba Bonds were done at 98 ; Dutch Stock was dealt
in at an advance; the trarsictions marked were :-
Brazilian, at 881. Cuba Six per Cent. Bonds, at 98.
Danish Three per Cents., 1825, at 73 ; ditto Five
per Cents., at 99. Equador at 4. Grenada at 18; ;
ditto Deferred at 31. Mexican (ex January Coupon)
from 281 to 291
.for money, and from 29 to 1 for
account. Peruvian Four per Cents., 1849, at 541
for account; ditto Deferred at 18 and 171. Spanish
Five per Cents., Active, for account. at 19, 1, and
18,1 ; the Passive Bonds at 4 ; the Three per Cents.

and-a-Half per Cents. Dutch at 581 and 56; ditto
Four per Cent. Certificates at 841 and 85.
The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 12
per faille, which, at the English mint price of
31.175. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives au
exchange of 23.441; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.421, it follows that gold is
0.09 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By last advice, the pries of gold at Hamburg is
437 per mark, which at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.11 ; and the exchange at Hamburg on
London at short being 13.111, it follows that gold
is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London
fer bills at GO days' sight is 1081 per cent., and the
par of exchange between England and America being !
109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is
nominally 0.83 par cent. against England. But, after
making allowance for difference of interest and !
charges of trumpet, the present rate would leave a
less on sending gold to the United States.
Trieste advice., of the 7th, state that the produce
market showed considerable animation after the late
lethargy, with an improvement in price in most articles
of import. In coffee the advance was most observ-
able in the ordinary qualities. Holders were very
firm, end evinced no disposition to effect sales. The
change in the Austrian League tariff had no particu-
lar influence on the sugar market. Refiners had
commenced purchasing, and considerable business
bad been done in raw sugars. Cotton was not in
the same active demand, but the price, were firm. Wool
was very firm, and sales had been made at 7d. to
7 1-10 d. per lb. f.o.b. The stock of hemp was not
large, and as it was scarce in the interior a rise in
price was expected. Oil of English quality was held
at 828., but considerable supplies being on the way,
the price was expected to decline. In wheat nothing
was doing for shipment, but the prices for it and for
Indian corn were both well maintained. Specie of
all kinds was scarce and dear. The exchange on
London opened at t. 11.5, and closed at f. 11.2.
Letters of the sth from Anemia state that the stock
of wheat was unusually large, the last crop having
exceeded by one-half the usual average. A decline
in price therefore might be looked for, although
holders were pretty firm, and nothing could be secured
under 325. 1. o. b. Indian corn was scarce, and was
much wanted for local consumption.
Some notifications, of great importance to the pro-
prietors, have lately been issued by the Board of

LONDON MUNICIPAL REVORM.—Yesterday after-
noon a public meeting was held is the New Court, Old
Bailey, for the purpose of adopting lILIMMIIO. to secure an
extension of the municipal franchise to all parliamentary
electors, an equalisation of the representative system in the
various wards, and a thorough 'reform of the existing abuaes
in the administration of the corporate affairs of the city of
London. Sir J. Doke took the chair. On the platform
were Deputy Bedfold, Alderman Sydney, Mr. Isherman,
Mr. R. Taylor, Mr. Williams, Mr. Barnard, Mr. Buck-
master, Mr. Turner, Mr. Gardner, and several members of
the Common Council.—Mr. Smith entered into a loog and
learned discourse, going back to the earliest records of the
munici,iality, for the purpose of proving that a great number
of their ancient rights and liberties had been broken down
and fallen into newt• et and disuse owing, in • great measure,
to the want of public spirit on the part ef the citizens, whom
he denounced as giving their whole attention to their profits,
and suffering their best institutions to fall into decay. He
proposed the first resolution, "That the corporation of
the city of London embraces, according to law and ancient
right, all the commonalty of the said city who hove been
occupiers in the said city for the space of one year and a day.
And it is the duty of the said commonalty to take part
is all that relates to the welfare of the said city,
and to discharge actively for themselves the functions which
belong to them as members of the corporation."—Alderman
Sydney seconded this resolution, strongly advocating the
mess of reform, and regrettiog the falling off of the num-
bers, which was gradually t.kiog place among the freemen
of the City, especially of their ward of Partici/don-without,
which, instead of being, as formerly, the largest in the City. I
barely mustered 690 freemen.—The resolution was then pat
and carried unanimously.—A long and very earnest dime.
sun then arms as to the propriety of discussing the other
five resolutions at that hour (half-past 4), the meeting has-
fag lasted nearly four beers and a half. It was at length
decided by the worthy alderman who presided that be
would waive certain objections he had to sit on Monday, as
announcement that was received with much cheering. After
• vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting was formally
adjourned till six p.m. on Monday evening, Sir James Duke
merging to secure the court for that purpose.

morning, at five o'clock, the Barnes station foe the South ti'
Western and Windsor line was found to have been broken ji,
open, and plundered of what cash had been left in the tin is
over night. The station was locked up at ten o'clock on U
Thursday night by the agent, who had taken rho principal
part of the emit home. 10
THE MURDER IN HASLET-STREET.—The eoro- rs
net's inquest on the body of a child named Drake, who, so
as appeared from a subs- quent confusion, was murdered by ot-
its mother in Harley-street, Cavendish-square, was concluded
at North Leverton, Nottinghamshire, on the 10.1 ins"-, when ""'
the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some et
person unknown." IS
MELANCHOLY CATASTROPIM—On Saturday morn-
ing, a most appalling accident occurred in the Townland of
Ballymartin, within two miles of Bilkeel, whereby a father,
mother, and two childeren lost their lives beneath on. of n
these embankments which run al rag the beach of Mourne, p 4
on each side. The deceased, William Sloan, purchased the go
site of a cabin on which, some two years since, he 'recta a to
hut in which he, with his wife and two children, resided, 23
earned their sabshtence by fishing. By the excessive rains 2?,
en Friday, a large portion of the embankment gave way and i
fell on their wretched hovel, crushing beneath it, in one bed, so
the unfortunate father with his wife and two children, aged to
respectively two and four years.—Northern Whig.
EATING "HUMBLE PIE."—A correspondent of that ro
most useful publication, "Notes and Queries' " gives the fol. go
lowing as the origin of this expressive phrase :—" Bumble to
pie" was made out of the ' umbles' or entrails of the deer, a SO
dish of the second table, inferior, of course, to the venison I°"
pasty which smoked upon the dais, and therefore not Mio
e:-
pensive of that humiliation which the term ' eating humble
pie' now painfully describes. The ' ambles' of the deer are
the perquisites of the gamekeeper."
SC.k.RIFF UNION.—We are gratified to find that the
Poor.law Commissioners have at last acceded to the request
so earnestly pressed upon them by the Scariff board of
1 guardians to appoint Mr. Parks, their late vice guardian, an
1 *moistest guardian to that union.—Clare Journal.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERT.—Thisroornin.g some thieves
effected an entrance through a skylight into the auition-
room of Mr. Price, of Chancery-lane, and from thence into
the office of the principal, where they ransacked all the
drawees. They afterwards proceeded to the clerk's office,
broke *pen six desks, wherein were cash-boxes, which were
opened and their contents extracted. The estimated loss is
2001„ namely, 1501, in gold and silver, and the remainder in
plate, in table and teaspoons, watches, brooches, &c.
MUTH BY filteltXATION.--Abont eight o'clock on
the morning of the Bth inst., the body of a woman, whose
name and residence was unknown, was found lying dead In
an archway at Templemore. The body of the victim of
destitution presented a horrifying spectacle—it was ex-
tremely emaciated, devoid of flesh, of a blueish colour, and
it was scarcely dovered with a vestige of clothing to shelter
it from the piercing cold of December. On the rune day an
inquest was held on view of the body by Thomas O'Meara,
w., coroner, when, after the examination of some wit-
e, the jury returned the following waist : " That the
deceased tame by her death at Templemore, on the night of
the 7th instant, by exposure to the cold and inclemency of
the weather, she having been partly naked, and lying out in
the even street." The ill•fatel women was about forty
yew of sr.—Ckainel Chronick.
