'SION-HOUSE.—CIIAROB OP COINING IN 'MITA-
THIS GOLD COIN OF COLUMBIA.—A young man,
to appeared upon the warrant on which he was op-
. as Rooftree Chrystie, was charged with having
_2rned in a conspiracy to commit an extensive fraud
hating the current coin of the republic of Columbia.—
',seliey, of the house of Olirerson and Co., solicitors to
onbian government, attended for the prosecution.
Forrester produced a warrant, signed by Mr. John
axis. a magistrate of Warwickshire, for the upper-
of the prisoner, to whom a parcel had been directed

engaged in the offence. The officer produced a large

prisoner said his real name was Garredo, but he re-
Iparcels in the name of Boniface Chrystie.—Mr. A.
;her identified the "cleaner, and stated that the prisoner
received parcels and letters in the name of tionifece
atie, directed from Birmingham. The parcels, it op-
I, had been directedto a house in Lombard-street, a clerk
1 the prisoner was acquainted with.—John Forrester
object was to take the prisoner to Birmingham as
possible, and he should, therefore, be obliged to Al.l
Gibbs to give him permission as to d,.—Alderman
Has the prisoner any thing to say ?—The prisoner:
merely to say that I should be obliged to you to re-
me till Monday or Tuesday next, as I shall by that
enabled to get papers ready, calculated to show that I
been merely acting as an agent and interpreter in this
r. lam anxious to send my statement to the consul,
dare say it will appear to be so satisfactory that there
no occasion for sending me to Birmingham at all. I
' nothing at all to do with tranuctiens of this kind.
t'eachey had no objection to have the prisoner re.
mended, in order that he might have an opportunity of pre-
the explanatory matter.—The prisoner was then re-
`,—The spurious coin is a piece of yellow metal, of the
half sovereign, with the impression of the arms o!
Jia of 1832, and of " Popayan." It is be-
-4 that 10,000 of them, at least, have been struck off.
ESPEKATE ASSAULT.— T. Roley was charged with hav-
„, committed a most serious assault upon J. Berkeman, of
lishopsgate street, tailor. The prosecutor was unable to at-
' -e the first examination, inconsequence of the injuries be
' from the violence of the prisoner. The following
i hence, including that taken at his former examine-
sdolphus Salinger said : On Saturday the 15th inst.
from LOrg-alley towards Skinner-street, with a per-
named Joe Berkeman. The prisoner, who was with two
^ other men, took the handkerchief from him, and
to be drunk, and said that he was a special con-
Berkeman tried to take the handkerchief, and the
r dropped it, and began to swear at him, and to state
was a special constable. I told my friend to come
and the prisoner then told me that he was a special,
would lock me up if I didn't mind what I was about. I
took my friend assay, and when we had got to • *limit
the prisoner and his companions came up, and said
e a lot of foreigners taking the bread of English-
They then began to beat my friend on the
and I called aloud for assistance. Some of the
r's companions struck me. The result was that Mr.
lan's collar-bone was broken, and his hearing is gone
on one aide.—J. Purkis fetid : I was walking up
..r-street at the time, and I saw Berkeman running up
street, and the prisoner running after him, ar d when I
oto the spot, Berkeman was lying on the ground,
mob of fellows were round him striking him.—J.
Langridge said he had heard the cry for help in the Street,
"1 he saw a man, whom he believed to be the prisoner,
'wither man, who was evidently hurt, and whose head
at. There were eight or ten persenstryieg to rescue
prisoner.—On the second examination Joseph Berkeman,
prosecutor, appeared. It was manifest that he had Bus-
ed considerable it jury. He said : As I was on Saturday
line at the corner of Long-alley,l put my hand in my
and missed my handkerchief, and I turned round
the prisoner with it is his hand. I went up to him
e it, and he dropped it. and I picked it up. He then
after me, and beat me about the head, crying out that
was • special constable. He knocked me dawn and
my collar-bone. My hearing is gone from the left side.
were several persona with him, and they got away. 1
very much from the ears and nose.—On Saturday the pro-
mtor was quite unable to attend, and apprehensions are
ttertained that he will not recover. The prisoner, who it
,cars is a person of Rood character, said that the prose-
desperately provoked him by calling him a thief, and
the violence was as great upon ono aide as upon the
r, but not so successful.—Alderman Gibbs refused to
bail, and remanded the prisoner for some days.
MILKY DT A SERVANT.—W. Helfer and J. T, Cooper
charged with having stolen a quantity of stationery,
open y of Mr. Renshaw, of Budge-row.—J. Broughton,
employment of Mr. Renshaw, stated that the prisoner
r was warehouse-boy M the establishment, and hewer
the habit of calling for paper for the rulers. Between
e and four o'clock on Wednesday I saw Hewer go up
'ailing-street, about 150 yards Isom the premises, with a
eel on his should, r, and 1 went to our warehouse and
Cooper whether Bishop's boy (Hewer) had been there.
replied " Ne." I was then told by another boy that Hewer
' been there, and that Cooper knew the fact, and I went
'ewer's master, and Hewer admitted, after some
.cation, that Cooper had given him the paper to sell, a cond he
likewise gave into ray hands 10s., which he said he had got
for it from Mr. Englehart, opposite the Post-office, to whom
Cooper had told him to take it. I then went to Badge-row
told Mr. Renshaw; and Cooper, who was there, denied
truth of the accusation, The paper produced is, no
ht, Mr. Renshaw's property, and is worth 205.--Cooper
he knew nothing at all about the business, and the pri•
n were remanded.
DRUICIZN HOUSEMAID.—Mary Smith was charged
i having acted in a most disorderly manner at the house
~, a lady in Broad-street. The prisoner had been hired as
housemaid a few days ago by the lady, but she had such a

propensity for strong Nun that she was constant:l.,
tumbling up stairs as well as down stairs. It became neces-
sary to get rid of her so soon to possible, of course, and she
received notice to quit; but the notice, instead of operating
as • caution to her, provoked her to still greater potations,
and, on the preceding night, after playing • great variety of
pranks, she flung herself, in her dirty clothes and muddy
oboes, into the bed of one of the lodgers. When she came to
herself, instead of expressing contrition, her insolence was
most noisy and intolerable, and she refused to leave without
three months' wages —The defendant said she was sober on
every oecseion on which she had been accused of intoxica-
tion, and that she considered herself entitled to the wages
she demanded.—The lady declared that she offered the de-
fendant a month's wages, but the offer had been mast con-
temptuously rejected.—Alderman Gibbs Her conduct was
such as to prevent her from claiming a farthing. I would
advise you not to give her anything, and if she gives you any
further trouble get her taken into custody and bring her
here, and I shall deal with her.—The defendant went away
quite dejected.
W RSII I P-ST RE wtx nti NO.— IV, Southcomb,
alias Cocking, and other parties, were charged with swind-
ling. Southcomb had already brew charged by Mr. Cutbill,
ea upholsterer, in Worship-square, from whom he had ob-
tained sofas, chairs, and other articles. to the amount of 361
to furnish a house at Union-terrace, Notting-hill. He had
given a reference to a Mr. King, represented to be a mem-
ber of the Corn Exci ange, and landlord of a well-furnished
house in Spur-street, Leicester-square ; but at the beginning
of the week both of them diaappeared, the furniture and
other goods obtained having been carried off from the
house at Notting-hill. Some of the tradespeople apprehended
Southcomb, and he was charged at this court oar
Wednesday, but it appeared that the latter had re-
ceived a promise to be paid, and the magistrate
discharged the prisoner, on his own recognisance,
to re-appear on that day. Southcomb, however, was
' not now forthcoming, but in the meantime Mr. Cutbdl had
got back part of his property, which had been traced from
place to place, to lb, Winchester tree t, Pentonville.—Mr.
Vann, a solicitor. said he had a number of tradesmen pre-
cat who bad been defrauded of their goods by an extensive
swindling conspiracy, and he would apply for wan ants
against the parties complained of.—The foreman of Messrs.
Travers and Perkin, musical instrument makers, in Oxford-
' street, said they had sent a cabinet piano, to Southeomb's
artier, to the house at Notting-hill, and he afterwards or-
dered a music stool, but when that wale sent on Wednesday
last, the house was deserted, and all the property carried off.—
Other persons complained that a valuable clock, obtained on
the previous Saturday, had been carried off on the following
' Monday; goods to the amount of 181. had been obtained from
Mr. Parkinson, au ironmonger, in Oxford-street; 311. worth
of goods from Mr. Miller, of Old-street-road ; and large
quantities of other property, all of which appeared to have
been immediately disposed of.—Mr. Arnold said he could do
nothing in the case at present, as the parties were not before
him.—The complainants then retired.
CLERKENWELL. WHOLESALE PLUNDERERS.
C. Fullbrook, Ellen his wife, and Louisa their daughter,
were charged with robbery.—The prisoners have severally 1
been cons icted of felony, the male prisoner as long ago as 30
years, when he was sentenced to transportation for passing
forged notes. Within the lest two years they have frequently
been in custody on charges similar to the present, for which
the mother soil daughter have been imprisoned. Six went"
ago they engaged two furnished rooms of Mr. Ennever, a
general dealer, at 28, Cliarlewstreet, City-road, and seven I
days beck they absconded, taking with them the key of the
apartments. The prosecutor found thatevery article had been
removed aw ay,with the exception of the bedeteads. There were
four chairs, a table, washhand stand, Brussels carpet and
hearth-rug, two feather beds, and vurious other articles.—Mr.
Tyrwhitt remarked that it was veil astonishing that such an
extensive robbery could have been so easily effected, and
showed the systemetic manner in which the prisoners
carried on their practices.—Smith, 44 0, said be had traced
the places where the mist valuable part of the property had
been sold, but the proprietor' of those receptacles of stolen
and other property had made away with it. Only one, who
had purchased the engravings, was present ; but there wers
several pawnbrokers in attendance with the bed linen and
carpeting.—Several witnesses were then examined, and pro.
duped the stolen property. Neither of them could identify
the MAR, who was liberated. His wife and daughter were
clearly proved to be the disposers of the plunder, and they
were fully committed for Wel.
ARLBOROUGH-STREET. —U NG ItATEreL THIEF.
N. Bradbury, who described himself as a surgeon,
was charged with robbery.—Mr. E. J. Crutehley, It N., said,
on Wednesday morning, about 4 o'clock, while passing
through Li icestersquare, he was accost, il by the prisoner,
who requested pecuniary assistance. The prisoner men.
tinned that he was a surgeon, and had recently fallen into
such distress that be was willing to take any kind of employ.
meat. Prosecutor told the prison, r that he could cot give
him any money ; hut his brother was in want of au assistant,
and if he could give goal reterencts perhaps his brother
would hire him. Prosecutor then took him to his lodgings,
where his brother was staying, and gave him some breakfast.
Prosecutor introduced the prisoner to his brother, in his
bed-room, and then turned into bed. Prosecutor fell asleep,
leaving prisoner and his brother conversing together: Pro-
secutor awoke about 6 in the afternoon, and discovered that
the prisoner had gone off with his clothes sad other articles.
—J. Bridgelaipl, a friend of the prosecutor, said as
soon as he had received a description of the prisoner he went
in search of him, and on nada) he found him at Freeman's
coffeehouse, Covent garden. The prisoner was dressed in
,he clothes he hal stolen from Mr. Crutchley's lodgings.—
Police-constable C 38 said he received charge of the prisoner,
who, on their way to the station-house, said he was very
sorry for what had occurred, and he hoped the gentlemen
would forgive him.—ln defence the prisoner pleaded intoxi-
cation.—Mr. Bingham, st the request of the prosecutor, dealt
with the offence summarily, by sending the prisoner to bard
labour for six weeks.
A MODERN PROPHET.—A tall, aged man, very respect-
ably dressed, was charged by a gentleman residing at
Thompson's hotel, Berkeley-square, with having collected a
mob in Oxford-street. The gentleman said he hardly knew,
being a stranger in London, whether he was warranted in
making any charge against the respectable-looking indi-
vidual at the bar, but having seen a mob in Oxford-street,
about half on hour ago, he went to see what was the matter,
and he found the defendant covered with placards, and fol-
lowed by the mob. Conceiving that the defendant was not
in estate of mind to be allowed to be at large, he applied to
a constable, and caused him to be brought to the court.—
Lester, the deputy Faoler, said the front placard was headed,
"To the rich. }allure of the potato crop. The wet season
will produce another failure of the potato crop, and then the
Lord have mercy on the poor." On the hack placard was as
follows, " A nide of prophecies for 2,900 years, price two-
pence. To he had of the bearer." On the hat was " Pro-
phecies fulfilled. James, v., chap. 9."—The defendant
wished to know why he bad been taken into
custody, and to hear the name of the gentleman
who had given him in charge—Mr. Bingham said he
would, perhaps, render the last proceeding unnecessary by a
few words which he intended to address to him. In London
a man might preach as much as he liked, ant pretty nearly
what he liked. A man might also advertise anything he had
to sell how and in what manner he liked, and, strange to
say, the more unusual the way he preached or advertised the
more certain he was to attract public attention. But then
the liberty of preaching and advertising must be taken with
this qualification, that a man either preaching or advertising
mast take care not to inconvenience persons by blocking up
a public thoroughfare. Now, if a Won of the defendant's
appearance chose to hang a placard over the front and back
of his coat, it would naturally follow that such an un- 1
usual act would attract a good deal of public notice, especially
if the party walked about the streets of London. If the de-
fendant had not broken the law, he had gone sufficiently far e
to justify the proe.edines that had taken place. With this I
caution be ehould order the efendant to be discharged this ,
time.—The defendant wished to know where he was entitled
to walk without molestation to exhibit his warnings.—Mr.
Bingham : Why, on a very cold or wet day you may walk in
the middle of Hyde-park. I nt't think you can do much a.
harm there.
HAMMERSMITH. FORTUNE-TELLINO.-- Alice Lee
was charged with fortune telling.—Susan Grant stated that e
she was being in service at Kensington. On the 7tk of Feb.
last the prisoner came to her master's house, and asked ter
if she had any hare-skins for sale, and if she would like to m
have bet fortune told ? Witness fetched out a hare skin, k
and told the prisoner she might tell her fortune for
that ; but the prisoner said "No ; she must cross her hand *
with silver." Witness then gay ;hi r a helf-crown, and she
crossed her hand with it, and the prisoner then said she I
would go and look at the hook." fhe prisoner in a day
or two returned again, and said witness must cross her hand
with a piece of gold, when witness gave her a sovereign,
and she again went away, telling witness to put another
piece of gold with a card into her bosom until she came
again. When she came she told witness that she must
erase her band with that piece of gold that had been in her
bosom, and on witness doing so she went away with it,
telling witness that she mu-t then go and rule the planets.
After that she mole again, and said she must have the bent
gown she had, and afterwards she obtained from wane,* an-
other gown, a shawl, and other articles, all of which she told
witness were necessary to the operation of " ruling the
planets," and she promised to bring them all beet on the fol-
lowing day, when she had seen what the planets bad ruled
for witness. She had not, however, seen prisoner until she
met her in Kensington that day, with one of her gowns on,
and her shawl wrapoed round her child, when she gave her
into custody. Prisoner said the money and clothes were
given her by complainant for telling her fortune and trying
to find her •bandsome sweetheart. The magistrate having
elicited from the complainant that the gipsy was to tell her
"about a sweetheart," and that she had been brought up in
the Kensington National School, expressed his astonishment 4
that any one could be F 0 silly es she had been. Had she come t
from a remote part of the country, and never been taught
anything, I.e should have been less surprised. The prisoner it
he should commit to the House of Correction for three cairn- 4
dar months, with hard labour.

SATURDAY Evrx (NO.
The absence of many of the chief dealers and brokers,
in the usual course of Easter holiday making,assisted
in creating a quiet market to-day and keeping prices
more steady than otherwise, in view of the Bank re-
turns, than might have been the case. Console fluc-
tuated between 811 and 821, as the extreme points
each way, with the exception of one purchase of
money stock, for which 821 was paid. The business
done was altogether of little importance, and Consols

The rise in Russian stock within the last ten days
has excited some attention. It has been done as low as
72, and was quoted 70 to .5. It is now called 85 to 90,
and sellers at the higher rate transact business only
upon the usual speculation of being able to buy in the
stock afterwards at lower rates for delivery,
through some political accident which should operate
upon stock values generally, or upon the one stock in
particular. The cause of the rise, however, in this
stock, it may be now stated, was the result of pur-
chases made for account of one or more Amsterdam
houses, tempted perhaps by the low rates to which it
had fallen, and not improbably for capitalists who, as
contractors, and with a conviction of the solidity of
the security, would naturally be induced to support
the value of the securities of their own issue, for the
Russian loans were usually contracted in Holland.
At a time when assuredly the financial policy on
the continent should be rather to decrease the Mimes
of paper money and credit obligations than to mul-
tiply them, the government of Prussia, like that of
France, is swelling the amount, and, though in a
more indirect manner, undertaking to impart a facti-
tious activity to industry, and feed the people. By •
recent decision the government has undertaken to
establish loan banks, or offices, in all those towns
where the Bank of Prussia has branches, and loan
bank agencies where it has none. Ten millions of
thalers are to be issued under government guarantee
in loan bank-notes, of which six millions in notes of
one thaler, and four millions in notes of four thalers,
as the operating capital of these banks—the l'russian
thaler about three shillings sterling.
The amount of the loans to be conceded in each
call is not to be below 100 thalers, to be granted only
to native merchants. The banks are to favour com-
merce and industry by, advances on merchandise and
produce 'not liable to deterioration, for three months
as a general rule, upon half the estimated value, and
upon funds and shares of accredited companies
as well.
The Russian government, on the other hand, would
seem to be making preparations in Poland, which in
that kingdom must increase the issues of paper
money, although, it may he added, on a more satisfac-
tory and convertible principle. Orders, it is, said,
have been issued to the landed proprietary of Poland
to send in all their grain, especially rye. oats and peas,
to be stored in the government magazines. The value
is to be paid to them half in money, that is in bank-
notes, the other half in bonds receivable as cash in
payment of all imposts. 'the fact of such extensive
orders would argue, from the extraordinary grain
produce of l'oland, an immense contemplated assem-
blage of Russian troops in that territory, or on the
frontiers of Prussia.
The French government have ordered the imposi-
tion of a tax of I per cent. on all bypothecary credits
or interests, whether arising from bonds or hypothe-
cations on interests derived from the funds, or from
rents payable from lands held for life or in fee-simple,
or "from property held in trust under or awaiting
iudements of the law courts.
