THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1847.

of him again and detained him till a constable came up.—
Mr. Wooloott having identified the property, the prisoner,
who admitted the charge, was committed for trial.
PLATE ROBBEEL—Y. Pscior was re-examined charged
with having stolen • quantity of plate, the property of Wil-
liam Burn, Esq , architect, of No. 6, Stratton-street ' • and
Elizabeth Auger end F. Auger, her son, were charged with
having received and pawned the same, knowing it to have been
stolen.—W. Oascoign, butler to Mr. Burn, said the prisoner
lived as footman in the same service for !shout 18 months, up to
the Ilth of last month. Witness, during the prisoner's teen-
porsry absence, found that different articles of plate, valued
at Mi. were missing. He gave information to his master
who saiseed the police to be apprised of the robbery. The
geemmerbaying accidentally heard that information had been
seat to the police, absconded. The prisoners Elizabeth and
F. Anger were proved to have visited the chief prisoner es
Mends. A witness proved that on the day when the robbery
was detected he saw the prisoners together in Bond-street
A number of pawnbrokers produced articles of plate, white
had been pawned by the prisoners Auger. The properly
having been identified, the prisoners were fully committed.
CLERKENWELL.—Cuanoe or Nyanza —J. Clifton
was re-examined, charged with the brutal murder of Matilda
Clifton, his wife, at No. 6, Beauchamp-street, Leather-lane,
Holborn.—Mr. Sidney, the solicitor, of Hatton-garden, at-
tended for the prisoner, and communicated to the bench that
a coroner's jury had held an inquest on the body of the de.
caned, and returned a verdict of "Manslaughter."—The
only additional evidence was that of Mr. Simon Caldclough,
surgeon, assistant to Mr. Pollock, surgeon, of No. 26, Hat.
ton-garden, who deposed that he attended the post martens
examination of the deceased's remains. He found a wound
which was very likely to have been occasioned by a kick of a
loot. Was of opinion that the injury received, connected
with the hemorrhage that took place, was the Cause of
the death of the deceased.—The prisoner was committed for
Mal ; bail being taken.
CHAlLlTY.—Yesterday, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had received
• latter, signed " A Widow," enclosing a half sovereign to-
wards the relief of Mrs. Smith, a widow, and her daughter,
reading at No. 58, Myddleton-street, Clerkenwell. 11. was
also received for the same benevolent object from " S. S."
LAMBETH.—CIIARGE OP SWINDLING.—J. Alamo, a
man of respectable appearance, who described himself as a
master builder, was charged with obtaining goods under
false pretences.—Mr. H. Doulton, potter, High-street, Lam-
beth, deposed that on August 24 the prisoner called at his
ceunting.house, and said he had a contract for making a
sewer fr.= the New Union Workhouse, Kensington, to the
Victoria-road, and should require 70/. worth of piping. He
said that Mr. Day of Elehein, who was ground landlord of
the property, would be in attendance on the following day
at the works, and would give him (Mr. Doulton) a guarantee
for the payment of the piping. Witness went on the fol-
lowing morning to Victoria-road, and found the prisoner and
a person to whom he was introduced as Mr. Day.—
The prisoner, in thelhearing of some workmen who were em-
ployed in making a drain, said that was the drain for which
he wanted the piping.—Mr. Day slid he was prepared to
sign the guarantee for the 70/., and a written guarantee we
drawn up and signed. On the following day he sent a load al
the pipes to the prisoner, and intended to send the remainder,
but from what had been communicated to him by his carman
he declined sending more until the first load was paid for,
and wrote to the prisoner to that effect. Not having beard
from er seen the prisoner for some time he went to look after
him, and found that his representation about being a
contractor for the sewer was false, and that im-
mediately after receiving the piping he sold them
considerably under the price charged to him.—
It. Thompson, carman, who delivered the piping to the
prisoner, said that from a converention he had with one et
the workmen, he found that the prisoner had nothing to de
with the building of the sewer.—R. Cockburn stated that
about the latter end of August last the prisoner, of whom he
had some previous knowledge, came to him and asked if he
knew any person who would purchase some stone piping.
He recommended him to Messrs. Humphreys and Thirsts

and he sold them the piping for 41. 195.'61.-LThe prisoner
was remanded to Thursday next.
THE EARLY CLOSING Assoc! tox.—A deputation from
this association waited upon Mr. Norton, for the purpose of
denouncing, on the part of their body, the conduct of the
person who had been guilty of the outrage on the property
of Mr. Kingston, in the Lambeth-road, and also rm.:nips
from the mind of the magistrate any feeling which he might
enjertain that the association would countmanca such an
act. On the contrary, they assured Mr. Norton that the
association bad always impressed the strict observance of
their rules. one of which was the employment only of
such means as are of a peaceful, persuasive, and conciliatory
nature, and by refusing to adopt or sanction any measure
having a tendency to coerce employers or injure their in-
terests, however opposed they might be to the object or prin-
ciples of the association.—Mr. Norton felt sure that the
association would not encourage an act which was of all
other* least calculated to effect the object they hail in view,
and hoped the associa.ion would give Mr. Kingston all the
assistance in its power to bring the guilty party to justice.

per Cents. were better at 53 to 4 ; the Fours at 8311
to 41. Except in Mexic►n but few transactions were
reported in foreign stocks.
Foreign exchange presented more remarkable
features still than last post day. The rates on
all the principal places were much higher, and,
as compared with former periods, extraordinarily
higher. Yet there were scarcely any buyers,
although the rates were so much to their ad-
vantage. A large amount of paper was left over
unsold, and for what was sold the largest capitalist
dealers in exchange declined to purchase, except on
the condition of paying at a week's date forward,
instead of the next post day, as usual. Thus the mer-
chants and manufacturers were unable to realise in

money the value of their commodities exported,
although ready to submit to allow the large bonus of
paying 26fr. 10c. in Paris, for example, for the receipt
of 11. here. The rates negotiated on Amsterdam were
12.7 to 8; on Rotterdam, 12.8 to 81; on Antwerp, 26
to 26.10 ; on Hamburg, 13.151 to 14.2 ; on Frankfort,
124; on Paris, 25.85 to 26.10 ; on Vienna, 10.7 to 15;
on Leghorn, 31 to 31.10 ; on Naples, 39—a1l at three
months. _ _

These high rates of exchange, and wild ranges of
differences, should show the advocates of the Bank
Charter Act how eccentrically they have succeeded in
regulating exchanges, impeding the outflow of gold,
and supporting property.

The reserve of notes was reduced to 3,409,3001., a
decrease of 702,9901. This reduction will sufficiently
account for the late stringent proceedings of the Bank
at the time. The decrease of bullion, the decrease of
public deposits, and the increase of active circulation,
must speak for themselves at present. Hereafter they
may be remarked upon more particularly.
