POLICE.-YESTERDAY._

OLTILDHALL.:DAStrisO ROBBERY. —H. F. White,
said to be moat respectably connected, was charged with
being drunk and robbing the Rev. Henry Penny of a pair of
gold spectacles, value 41 10s. On Wednesday afternoon, while
the complainant was in New Bridge-street, he was followed
by the prisoner and another man. One of them tried the
rev. gentleman's pocket. Soon afterwards the prisoner
knocked him hat off and matched the gold spectacles from his
nose.—The prisoner was committed for trial.
EMBEZZLEMRNT:R. C. Harris, a porter in the employ
of Messrs. Hocking, Hitchcock, and Ridley, woollen ware-
housemen, 47, Old Change, was charged with embezzling
various sums of money.—Mr. Williams, for the prosecution,
said he only intended to produce sufficient evidence to justify
a remand, as there was such a number of cues against the pri-
soner that he had not time to produce evidence to warrant a
committal. The prisoner kad been in his employers' ser-
vice from four to five years, and was entrusted with moneys
which he was to account for every week to the clerk. No
suspicion bad been excited until Tuesday, when, in conse•
quence of a quarrel between two of the porters, they thought
proper to watch the prisoner, and on Wednesday to give him
into custody. On examining his book, which he had to pre-
lent to the clerk, and a number of receipts, it was found that
for a long period he had been in the habit of altering the
figures to a larger amount, and thus defrauding Mesas.
Hocking and Co. of the balance.—Mr. Williams said by the
next examination he should be able to complete some cases
against the prisoner. He thought the fact of altering the
figures amounted to a forgery.—Sir P. Laurie remanded the
prisoner until Tuesday, at the same time observing that it
was very extraordinary the clerk did not observe the altera-
tions—there were such a number of them, and all so pal-
pable. Bail was refused.
CLERKENWELL.—EMBEZZLEMENT.—E. T. Hqfrick
was reexamined, charged with embezzling various sums of
money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Delarue, Fry,
and Co., playing-card manufacturers, of Bunhill-row.—Mr.
Fry repeated his former evidence.—Mrs. Sarah Anne Clarke
said that she had formerly worked for Messrs. Delarue and
Co. For the last eight weeks she had ceased to do any work
there, and had received no mosey on the 28th of August, the
4th of September, or the 11th of September. —The books
were here handed into court, in which appeared, in the pri-
soner's handwriting, three several entries of a week's wages
on the above dates, as having been paid to Mrs. Clarke.—
The cashier deposed to having paid the prisoner those three
sums pursuant to the entry in the books.—Several cases of a
similar character having been gone into the prisoner was
committed for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET. Iluanzaoris Ase•mr. J.
Lew 4, an itinerant performer on the banjo, was charged
with assaulting and wounding Mary Anne Smith, who is
now lying in a dangerous state in the. London Hospital.
The injured woman had been living for the last fortnight
with the prisoner, and on the preceding night she told him
she intended to break off the connexion and return to her
friends The prisoner was greatly exasperated on learning
her determination, and, uttering an exclamation that she
should not leave the place alive, raised his banjo with both
hands, and dealt her so violent a blow on the head that the
lower part of the instrument was shivered to pieces, and she
fell senseless to the ground. The prisoner eontinued beating
her with the instrument until several other lodgers inter.
fend, and dragged him from her by main force. A certi-
ficate was handed to the bench from the home-surkons of
the institution, describing the nature of the injuries the
woman had suitained, and stating that she was in wander-
able danger. —The prisoner, who was remanded, maid that he
felt hurt and annoyed at the conduct of the woman, and
that he bad acted under feelings of strong provocation.
TEE RoBHISRY AT lIPPIR CLAPTOIL—Anne Sesieh was
finally examined, charged with having stolen a cash-box,
containing bank-notes and gold to the amount of 1001., and
a quantity of jewellery and other property, from the house
of Mr. Thomas Turley, a grocer, at Upper Claptou.—The
deposition, of the several witness*, were.formally completed,
and after hearing them read over the prisoner entered into
a lengthened statement, conveying a direct impeachment of
the witness Emma Piper, the servant of the prosecutor,
who, she alleged had brought the cash-box and a bag con-
taining the jewellery down stain to her in the passage, after
she had effected an admission, and directed her to convey I
them to a secluded pump adjoining the char.*, where she
would meet her, and they would share the contents; but
that she was overtaken on her way there, and given into
custody.—The girl Piper was recalled, and closely ques-
tioned by the magistrate but declared that the above state-
ment was a complete fabrication, and that she was an entire
stranger to the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial.
hfARYLEBONE.—ROISMMY.—Harriat Nialtation, who
stated that she was under 14 years of age, was charged with
having robbed W. B. Seaman of his watch and other pro-
perty.—Prsenutor said that on the previous night he met
the prisoner near the Hampstead-road, and being rather
" fresh " at the time be was induced to accompany
her to her residence. In his waistcoat pockets were his
watch, gold guard, and 18s. 6d. in silver, which he
had laid- upon a chair. Almon immediately afterwards
another girl entered the apartment, and spoke to the pri-
soner, and after some little conversation at the door
they went away together. He inspected then that
there was something wrong, and on looking for
his waistcoat found that it was gone. He ran down
stairs for the pawne of getting into the street, to
obtain the ueLstance of a constable, but on trying the
street-door discovered that it was so fastened that he
could not make his egress, in consequence of which ha
created a hit of a disturbance, and a person belonging to the
house at length opened the door for him. He sought for an
officer, and on meeting with one be gave tho prisoner in
charge. None of his property had been roomered.—Polics.
man Gray stated that he accompanied prosecutor, and con-
veyed the prisoner to the station-house. On the way
thither they were followed by same other girls, and amongst
them the prisoner's sister, who exclaimed, " Never
mind, Harriett, they can't find anything; and don't
let them • pump' you, as they once did me. Let them do
their beat, they can't give you more than a alter'
(6 months)." She was searched, but nedthar the watch,
chain, nor money, were found in, her posieseion.—Polke-ma-
, stable 248 8 said that the mother of the juvenile
was the keeper of the house alluded to, and that she
two other daughters living under her roof, all of whom
obtained their living, with the full leave and Seism of
their parent, won the streets. The adjoining house was
of the like description ; they wire both hang* dim of Ini-
quity, sad it was quite isopoodblo for any dwelt putout to

pees along without having their ears and eyes offenired by
conduct and language of the most shameful kind imaginable.
—The Prisoner, on being asked what she had to say, denied
that she knew anything whatever of the robbery, and
asserted that it was another young girl, and not her,
whom the "gentleman" accompanied to the place;
in fact the " gentleman," when he brought the con-
stable, said he could not quite swear that she
(primmer) wee the girl whom he had mat with in
the Hampstead-road, as he bad stated.—The Constable mid
this was fake, and that prosecutor expressed no doubt what-
ever upon the imbject:—Mr. Long asked if any mention had
been made to the often of St. Pawns as to the abominable
dens of iniquity =Min in the parish, as spoken of by the
police, but we peddle mower eonld be given upon that point.
er wet rewanded for week ; ande Mr. Long,
l Olemipseye, directed him to take each
riatMas=lr eke 'feet of promptly abating the noi-
seless; a woe had error some before hire which celled more
lewdly he the isterleresee of the parochial authorities, and
he hoped that no delay would take place.

WRBYMINSTER.—Tite FREEDOM or rue RIVES.— I
Mr. S. Poigui ennariateniere of the Ant ire,
boat Company, was charged with unlawfully causing a lug
boat to be =mated on the river, he not being a freeman of
the Waterman 's Company.—R. Tomlinson, a llghterman,
said that on the 4th inst. he was at Thames-bank, and saw
• lug boat, to which some part of the boiler of the
Cricket steam-beat was attached, go up the river, worked
by three pawns who were not Neaten. They said Mr
Poletti had employed them and, on seeing Mr. Poletti come
up in a punt, he asked him; if he was aware that the men
in the lug were not freemen, when defendant told him to
mind his own business, called him • fool, and said he should
employ whom he pleased. W. Dando, a pierman to the Ant
and Bee Company, said that, with others, he had been
employed in placing. chains under the boilers of the
Cricket, and removing them to Thames.bank. The
work was done under the direction of Kelsey and
Sinclair, and the defendant gave witness and ano-
ther man, also • servant of the company, orders to
veist them.—The Superintendent said that it was found
necessary on the day in question to employ several of the
company's servants to raise the wreck of the Cricket, and
having succeeded in getting her boilers up he directed Kel-
sey end Sinclair to take charge of each of the boats to which
portions of the wreck were attached. A steamer was used
in towing them out, but owing to a portion of the wreck
going athwart the Adelphi-pier the lug was cast off before
the waterman who had charge of that boat could get into
her, and u they were much pinched for tide there was no
time for delay. None but their own servants had been em-
ployed in the matter, and bat for the circumstance he had
mentioned there would have been • freeman in each of the
two bats.—Mr. Burrell observed, that if there had been
any infringement of the law it was entirely accidental. He
therefore dismissed the complaint.
THAMES.—ALLEGED CRUELTY AT SEA. —Mr. W.
Ilaggen, the master of the ship Dibdiu, was charged with
assaulting W. Howard, an able seaman, and illegally putting
him in irons at sea. The complainant said he joined the
ship at Rigs in May last, and soon afterwards he had some
words with the master about the provisions which were very
bad, and be told hire he could not eat the ffiod. On the llth
of June the master asked him if he was dissatisfied with the
ship, and he said he was. The master promised to obtain a
substitute for him, but instead of doing so he brought some
Russian officers on board, and directed them to take him
and another man to prison, which was done. He remained
in gaol for forty-seven days, and when he was liberated, on
the 29th of July, he was salted by the master if he intended
to resume his duties. He demanded his discharge. The
master immediately took him back to a Russian galley, and
next morning he was put in irons, and remained so for seven
days until the ship reached Elsinore. Here he was handed
over the ship's side by two men, and conveyed in a boat to
the shore and taken before the British consul, but his Irene
were removed just before he reached the shore. He law the
, consul, and told him he would not do any work in a ship
where he hod been so ill-used. He was ordered to leave the
room, and was recalled about ten minutes afterwards, when
the consul said he had better not return to England in the
ship. The master said if he was to remain in the ship for six
months he woald keep him in irons. He returned
to the ship, and was kept in irons till the ship reached Eng-
land, and not allowed a bed. The handcuffs were toe small
for him, and his wrists were severely injured.—Mr. Bergen,
in reply to the charge, said the moment Howard joined the
ship be became troublesome, and was frequently drunk,
riotous, and very badly. behaved. He waited on the British
consul and the Rosman authorities. and the complainant
was arrested and sent to prison for 47 days. When be came
out of prison the man refused to work, and he gave him the
option of either doing his duty or remaining in irons. The
seaman those the latter alternative. He put him in confine-
ment with the sanction of the British consul and the cap-
tain of the Russian police.—Mr. Yardley said he could not
inquire into the conduct of the Russian authorities, and
whether they werejnetilled in detaining the man in prison
47 days without trial or hearing; but he did not know of any
law authorising the master of a British ship keeping a man
in irons for refusing to do hie duty. It would be a circumstance
in mitigation of punishment, if the master was found guilty,
that Howard had declined doing any more work on board.
The refusal to do any work might be • ground for withhold-
ing payment of the wages, but not for confining a man in
irons.—Mr. Ilag.gen put it some document'', which he said
gave him authority to act as he had done. He could not
get rid of the man at Rigs, or he would gladly have done so,
and he was authorised by the authorities at that place to de-
liver him to the British consul at Ebinore, who gave hie
sanction to putting the man under restraint. If a man was
guilty of mutiny he had a right to restrain him.—T. John-
son, a seaman, said the manacles placed on Howard's wrists
were too small for him, and he frequently complained of
it to the master, who would not rtheve him. He heard
Howard say be would not work because he had been 47
days in gaol at Riga, and wished to appeal to the laws of his
own country for redress.—Howard exhibited a wound on his
wrist, and said the manacles dug a bele in it. He had only
bread and water while he was in irons, and he suffered the
greatest torture owing to the 'manners of the handcuffs.—
Mr. Happen said the handcuffs were large enough for his II
own wrists, and that although he was ordered to keep
Howard on bread and water, he allowed him his full rations.
—Mr. Yardley said he could not see this was a ore et
such extreme neentaity as to justify the defendant in put
the man in irons. He should order him to find ball, himsa,
in 601. and two sureties of 251. each, to appear and answer'
the charge at the serious.
HAMMERSMITH.— ROBBERY or Battx-szerres.—c.
C. TM:ram was re-examined charged on suspicion with
having been concerned in stealing from the Sussex Arms
Tavern, Broadway, Hammeremith, a cub-box' containing
notes to the value of 1001., and a cheque for 121. 3s. Bd. The
previous examinations were reported in our paper on the
10th and on the 17th. The additional evidence was of ex
entirely unimportant nature—Gardener, the porter, who
had previously deposed that the prisoner gave Wit the
cheque to get cashed, now said he could not positively say
the prisoner was the person who gave it him. The ow
was remanded till Saturday.

MONEY MARKET.

THURSDAY &VINING.

The Bank directors are understood to have—been
liberal in their arrangements to-day, with respect to
their ordinary loans, which will be continued to No-
vember 23. Their terms for two months bills are
said to be 51 per cent., and for three months bills, 6f
per cent., though, according to some, the maximum
is not so high as the latter, the more governing limit
being Si to 6 per cent. per annum. Advances by
the institution, on the security of console, will not, it
is affirmed, be continued, but this wants confirmation.
The admitted determination of the board to give dis-
counts at the rate of 5} per cent. on two months
paper, is, at all events, deemed a very material relax,-
tion, though business has been quietly done by it for
some time at that figure; and for the rest, the directors
may be expected to be regulated by circumstances,'
and, without binding
.themselves to abeolutdy fixed
terms, to act upon their own discretion. The moil,
charge for three months bills will, no doubt, be from
G to fie per cent., end, as 7 per cent. has not been un-
common of late, this would be a relief also.
. _

The arrival of the Indian mail has been telegraphed.
The news from the east will probably transpire to-
morrow, and ti coimspondence be in the hands of
the merchants: on Saturday, a day too late for their
convenience, however, since the outward bag will
close to-morrow, unless the peculiarity, of the case
should induce a day's detention. These accounts
are expected to have an essential influence
on monetary affairs; for both from India and
China later intelligence is greatly wanted to
regulate parties in their arrangements. Beyond these
matters, there was not much passing to-day to give
life to the commercial community. A failure of
some amount at Liverpool was one of the less agree-
able topics of conversation. The party involved has
been an irregular dabbler in many things, among
others cotton, and railway shares. His debts are
estimated at a higher amount than we can safely
state without more positive information upon the
subject. In town, a most respectable, though not
extensive, provision dealer, was obliged to suspend his
operations, and the event will be attended with in-
convenience to many in the particular walk with
which ha was connected. The death of Oohed, the
prime minister of King Otho, was regarded as by me
means an inauspicious event. He and his systems
could not have been upheld by France much longer,
and his dissolution may afford Louis Pphoish=
an easy maws of escape from a
that was becoming day by day more and ease
untenable. It had, accordingly, not an We,
vourable effect on the funds, neither had the Moiled
change in the French ministry, since it will if con-
firmed, have been a change in name only, rather than
in reality. Console left off aat to for mosey, and
