GUILDHALL. CHARGE or E?tDEZZLEMENT AND
FORODitY.—J. 'Palters, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Da
Silva, patent medicine wareheuseman, No. 1, Bride-lane,
Fleet-street, was finally examined, charged with embezzling
various sums of money. The first charge entered into was
for forging his employer's name to a Posit-office order for
31. 6a. 6d. On the 6th of August, a Mr. Weir, a customer
in Hull, forwarded an order for the above amount, which
was cashed at the Post office, but the party obtaining it could
not he identified.—Mr. Da Silva proved the signature of
Da Silva and Co. attached to the order to be in the prisoner's
handwriting. In the course of his business it was his duty to
receive monies on account ofthe firm. The prisoner had no au-
thority to sign any documentsof that kind. It would be his
duty, on the receipt of such, to hand them to witness for sig-
nature. There wu no entry made in the books respecting Mr.
Weir's account on August 9, or any subsequent day. The
letter produced, addressed to Mr. Weir, acknowledging the
' receipt of the Post-office order, was in the prisoner's hand-
writing. He was committed on this charge. He was
next charged with embezzling three sums of money amount-
ing inall to 9/. 10a. 6d.—J. Brown, in the employ of Mr.
Sanger, of 150, Oxford-street (a partner with Mr. DA Silva),
stated that, on the 20th of August, he gave •51. 2s. to a per-
son named Kemp for the discharge of a bill. He went out,
and afterwards returned with the bill receipsed. On the
30th August he paid the prisoner 31. 65., and, again, on the
31st August, U. Os. 6d,, to both of which bills the prisoner
wrote a receipt.—H. Kemp deposed to receiving St 2a.,
from the last witness, and depositing it in the office. The
prisoner then wrote an invoice and receipt for the amount,
and took the money.—Mr. Da Silva deposed that the pri-
soner had in no way accounted for these sums. The prisoner
was committed on this chdtge also. The next case against
him was for appropriating 56/. 12s. Gd. to his own use. In
June lent Messrs. T. and R. Raines and Co., of Edinburgh,
forwarded a cheque fir the above amount, drawn by them-
selves, and made payable to Messrs. Da Silas and Co., at
Messrs. Jones Lloyd and Co.'s. Lothbury. On the 2nd of
June it was presente 1 and paid.—A Clerk at the Bank of
England produced two of the notes paid on the cheque, on
the back of one of which Mr. Da Silva identified the pri-
soner's handwriting. The receipt at the foot of the invoice
sent to Edinburgh was in the prisoner's handwriting also,
but there was no entry in the remittance-book.—The pri-
soner was then committed for trial.

M ARLBOROUGH-STREET.—COUNTERFEIT TURKISH
COIN.-C. Ederman, agent, of Pelham-place, Brampton, was '
charged with being concerned in a large manufacture of
counterfeit Turkish coin, carried on at Birmingham—The
police have received information that the Turkish govern.
went have discovered that during the lest three or four years
immense quantities of counterfeit piastres h►ve been circu-
lated in the Turkish dominions. The amount of spurious
coin thus introduced is said not to fall far abort of one hun-
dred thousand pounds. The Turkish authorities having at
last obtained such a clue to the offenders so to induce them
to believe that the manufactory of false piastres was at Bir-
mingham tamed on by a person named Darwen, is conjunc-
tion with others, made application to the British govern-
ment, and the result was that the detective police were in-
structed to take the matter in hand. After much inquiry,
they succeeded in procuring such an amount of evidence
against Darwen. as has led to his commitment et Birming-
ham recently. The prisoner Ellerman, who is suspected to
be the agent through whose instrumentality the shipments
of false piastres to Turkey as " iron nails," were conducted,
was yesterday apprehended. The prisoner was merely
brought to this court for the puritan of being sent to Bir-
mingham. The requisite authority was given by Mr. Bing-
ham and the prisoner was removed in custody.

SOUTHWARK. —ROBBING LODGING liorsEL-1K
Jolly, and Mary his wife, two respectable-looking persons,
were charged with committing robberies in houses in which
they lodged. The prisoners engaged lodgings at a house in
Hatfield-street. The apartments which they occupied were
next to those of a Mr. Corlet, who holds a situation in the
Poet-office, and when the prisoners bad been there a few
days. they availed themselves of the opportunity afforded
by his absence to enter his room. The apartment in ques-
tion contained a chest of drawers, in which the complainant
kept some money, and this they opened with a skeleton
key, and stole about 141. The complainant missed the
money on his return, and as no persons but the prisoners
could have had UNTLII to the room, they were given into
custody. Amongst the money found in the prisoner's pos-
session, was a remarkable shilling, with a hole in it. This
was at once identified by the complainant, who was unable
to identify any other portion of the money of which he
had been robbed. From inquiries instituted relative to
the accused persons, it was ascertained that they had
been engaged in other robberies in houses at which
they lodged. A poor widow named Cairns, stated that
she was a victim to the prisoner's dishonest practices—
that the wife engaged apartments at her house, describing
that her hatband was in the country. Soon afterwards the
male prisoner came for his wife, saying ebe was wanted upon
business. Soon after their departure it was discovered that
the complainant's chest of drawers had been opened with a
false key, and plundered of between 61. and 71. In the
course of the examination, it was further stated that the pri-
soners had succeeded in committing several other robberies
under similar circumstances, their general appearance at
first sight being well calculated to disarm suspicion as to
their real character.—The magistrate committed the pri-
soners fer trial on the two cases above narrated, and said that
other indictments might be preferred against them at the
sessions.

LAMBETH.—INFOC:rDED AND SIALICIOLS REPORT.—
Mr. Oilham, solicitor, applied for a summons. He stated
that Mr. Finch, a master baker, who had carried on
business in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall for nearly
twenty years, had, within a day or two, been subjected
to the greatest possible annoyance by
a malicious re-
port which had been circulated in his neighbourhood—that
he was in the habit of mixing bone dust in his bread. The
consequence was, that on the preceding evening a crowd, of
from 200 to 300 people, assembled about his shop, and con-
tinued to make the moat discordant noises, and called out,
" Who put the bone dust in the bread :" A policeman
nawd Newman, 262 V, was called on to disperse the mob,
but he refused to do so and said it was true that Mr. Finch
had used bone dust in lit bread. As far as the constable was
concerned, he should not trouble his worship for a summons,
but would at once write to the commissioners respecting his
conduct. The person against whom he wished a summons
was one who had been in the crowd, and by his conduct and,
language was inciting those assembled to seta of violence.
In conclusion, Mr. Oilham said that Mr. Finch would wil-
lingly give 6:01. to any person who could prove that he had
ever used a particle of ,one dust with his bread, and offered
to lodge that sum in the magistrate's hands.—Mr. Elliott
granted the summons, but refused to have anything to do
with the money.
HAMMEITAMITH.—ROBBERY 01. DANSE Norse.—C.
C. Thurston was re-examined charged with beiog concerned
with others, nut in custody, in stealing from the Sussex
Arms Tavern, Broadway, Hammersmith, Bank of England
notes to the value of 1001., and a cheque for 121. 3e. Bd.,
without further evidence of importance than that given at
the first examination, and reported in our piper of Friday
last. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next.

MONZY MARKET.

THURSDAY BYRNDIG.

The feed% have to-day been subject to very con-
sidembl-, fluctuation, the cause of which was involved
in mystery, but is referable, it is to be feared, to the
still very unsettled state of commercial credit, and the
rumours continually circulated of further impending
failures. There were whispers the whole of the day
of cases of difficulty, but, if we except what was said
of embarrassments west of Temple-bar, for more than
one case in that direction was talked of, no fresh
I names were made free with. A stoppage at South-
ampton is the isolated instance openly declared in
connection with the corn-trade, and, had not the state
of the weather been such as to prevent the arrival of
pigeon expresses from the continent, we should
have been disposed to give a Parisian origin
to the agitated condition of our stock markets.
Console were done early in the day at 86 to 4 for the
account, or per cent. above the closing value yester-
day. On a sudden, however, the quotation dropped
to an extent that was quite alarming, the market i
looking, to use the words of the brokers, " as black
as possible." With scarcely any intermediate varia-
tion, the price fell to sq to 1, and extreme depression
prevailed throughout the remainder of the day. The
latest quotations were 851 to 6 for money, and 883 to
for account. Exchequer Bills left off at 3s. to 6s.

it may be remarked, diverted the attention of a vast
number of persons commonly engaged in monetary
affairs from their ordinary vocations.
