THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1849.

Grant examinations, are shortly thew:—The prisiner car•
tied on Ow. business of a Hoeks.t ker in Warnford court, and
while so doing • Mr. Spurgin, in the neighbourhood of
Houma+, was recommended to him by • friend, IA a pt 'son
who could lay out some money for him to advantage. The
publican (Mr. Bpurgin) came to London, and wee mom-
; amended to invest 1,0001., which h • had brought with him in
Exchequer Bits, at 48s. That advice was followed, and the
Exchequer Bills deposited with Nairn* for tide keeping,
who and he would place it la his iron safe at the Exchange,
where he had property to the amouut of thousands of
pounds. A few days after Mr. Spargin placed 7001. more in
the prisoner's hands, who purchased two Exchequer Bills.
one for 500/. and the other for 2001. Time were likewise
left with him to be deposited with the 1,0001. bill, all to be
kept safely, and not to be negotiated or transferred in any
way. However, the prisoner suddenly disappeared, and it
was then found out that he bad re sold the Ezehequi r Bills,
shortly t fiat they were left in his are, to Haan Brown and
Co., dealers in Esehequer Bills, on the Stock Exchange. A
warrant was issued, under the act which lately came into
force against absconding debtors, and was placed in the hands
of Daniel Forrester, who apprehended him at Boulogne-sur-
Her, end brought him to London. The two charges were
clearly established against the prisoner (who reserved his
defesee), and he was fully committed for trial.
Mr. Hilleary, solicitor, ob dto Sir James Duke, that
as his client, the Rev. Mr. blunts, was obliged to return tc
his duties in the country, be should not call any evidence
respecting the 1,8001. which that gentleman Lad sent to the
prisoner to be invested in Russian bonds, and which hailed
made use of, but should, at the next sitting of the Central
Criminal Court, prefer a bill of indictment before the Grand
Jury. The prisoner having heard the depositions read over
to him, was conveyed to Relegate.
CHARGE OF OBTAINLNO MONET 17NDEIL FAL63 PRE-
TINCES.—An Irishman, named Geo, ge Hetherington, who
gave his address as No. 3, Mitre-court, Temple, barrister-at-
law, was brought up fur final examination, charged with ob-
taining goods under false pretences, and also with
getting money on pretended cheques. The prisoner
I has been remanded five or six time., and, dur-
ing those examination', it appeared that he had
represented himself as • barrister, solicitor, agent to the
Duke of Richmond, and, in fact, any character that suited
Lis convenience. He had taken lodgings and houses in
different parts of London, running away before the quarter
was due, and duping tradesmen in the neighbourhoods
where he located himself. H s versatile genius knew no
bounds, and the latest of his achievements, which was the
principal cause of his being at present in trouble, was his
trying to become the lessee of the Theatre Royal, South-
ampton; but the landlord, not liking his customer, and
ascertaining that he was not worth a farthing, refused to
accept him as a tenant. It was to go down to Southampton,
to effect that object, that he borrowed the money, and gave
a cheque en the firm of Messrs. Harris and Capper, of
Cornhill, who said there was no account there, nor did they
give the prisoner any authority to write orders upon them.
There were a number of persons in the court who had been
duped, but their Cans all resolved themselves into debts.
In consequence of the enema of Mr. Harris and his
brother, Sir James Duke remosiled the prisoner till Thurs-
day next, and told the 0.1111 10 have all the witnesses in
attendance.

WORSHIP-STREET.
CAFTV2I OF BOROLAIte.—Two determined-looking fel-
lows. named Henry Dickenson and Peter Young, both of
whom were recognised by the police as convicted thieves,
were charged with having burglariously brekea into the
premises of Mr. Charles Frederick Biglin, the proprietor of
extensive wine stores in Old Swan Brewery yard, White-
chapel. About a fortnight since the prosecutor's premises
were forcibly entered, and plundered of property to a con-
siderable amount, and in consequence of intelligence having
been conveyed to Serjeant Kelly and Giffor I, two detective
officers, which induced them to 'meet that the burglars con-
templated a second visit to the place on Friday night, they
repaired thither shortly after 10 o'clock, and secreted them-
selves in an oat-house within sight of the t aid leading to the
stores, to await their arrival. After the lapse of alma an
hour without 'kerbing marries to attract their attention,
they at length heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and
immediately afterwards observed the two prismers and
another man stealthily advancing towards the side en-
trance to the wine stores, with an empty hamper on each
of their heads. On reaching the trap-door communicating
with the eellerage, the third man threw down his hamper, and
returned back to the strait apparently to keep watch, while
kis associates were engaged in their work of plunder; and
almost at the same moment the officers beard a loud crash-
ing noise, resembling the forcible disruption of an iron bar,
which was succeeded by the rattling of glass and bottles en
the cellar. They instantly emerged from their place of con-
cealment, and hastily descended into the cellar, the flap of
which had been forced open, when they discovered the pri-
mmer Dickenson in the act of removing a hamper of wine
from the further part of the store, in readiness to be carried
off. Before he had time to recover from his surprise he tem
seised by Serjeant Kelly, who forced him down upon the
door, and the prisoner Young, who was crouching down
upon his hands and knees at the back of some Lamps», wee
also pounced upon, and secured by the Constable Gifford.
A formidable lite-prseerver was found on the person of am e
of the penmen, and on searching abort the place a boned
buffer matches, a hammer, crowbar, and othenimpleseesh
of housebreaking, were discovered by the officers, who ape.
Toyed both the prisoners to the station- house.
The prisonen, who declined offering any defer s, were
fully committed for trial ; but the magistrate ordered them
to be brought up again next week, to afford the police an
unity bring forward other charges against tnem.
opportunity to
r/LAORDINAILY Caen.—Mr. Elliott, a solicitor, was
brought oefore the magistrate, from the workhouse of the
Whitechapel Union, where the parochial officers had placed
him under restraint as a lunatic.
From some statements made it appeared that Mr. Elliott
had, in the fervour of religious enthusiasm, given way to
extravacancies of demeanour which some of his friends con-
sidered to be of dangerous tendency, and requiring restraint,
and his observations now upon that point were to the effect
that he belonged to the Reformed English Church, and bad
been ordained by the late Dr. Dillon.
Mr. Nash, surgeon of the Whitechapel Union, now said
that on seeing Mr. Elliott at the workhouse on the occasion
mentioned he had ordered him at NM to be plated under
restraint, considering it dangerous to leave him at large.
Mr. Hughes, relieving overseer, said he did not see Mr.
Elliott until the following morning, and then from his
manner and general restlessness be considered him to be

insane.
Mr. Elliott now subjected this witness to a searching
cross•examination as to his knowledge of mental phenomena
and the anatomy and disorders of the brain, evincing that
he had himself given a good deal of attention to such matters,
of which the overseer professed entire ignorance.
Mr. Mean, the police surgeon, said he bad examined Mr.
Elliott on the morning in question, and spin that day, and
was at first of opinion that he was decidedly of unsound
mind, but perceived nothing of a mischievous tendency
about him.
After some farther proceedings, the cue was adjourned,
at the usual of Mr. Elliott himself, who st illingly returned
to the union•house in the meantime.

THAMES.
EarTSMOIVI STOTEN or PLUNDIR In TIM Town/L.,
James Hall, • man about 50 years of age, by trade a gun
finisher, and employed in the small arms department of the
Tower, was charged before Mr. Ingham with stealing eleven
pieces of brass gun steel plates, the property of her Majesty.
It appears that for some time a peat number of gunmakers
and others km been employed in the Tower. breaking up
muskets, efts., and other warlike instruments, the materials
of which are reserved for various purposes. It having come
to the knowledge of the authorities that an extensive system
of plunder was going on, policemen were stationed at the
hates to watch and search the labourers on leaving the fort-
rem, and many have already been convicted of making free
with the government propert On the prisoner being
stopped by James O'Connor, 177 ii, coming out of the east-
ern entrance with the above stated property in hie possession,
the prisoner immediately said he had been made the dupe of
others, and he would take the officer to a place in the gun
factory, where gun springs, locks, and other things were
concealed in a box. The constable went with him to where
he pointed out the stolen property, and implicated four other
men, who were discharged immettiakly, and • special report
sent to the Board et Ordnance.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that • fellow-workman,
whose name he mentioned, gave him the pieces to take out
and give them back to him outside the Tower. That party
had got his own Wellington boots made large for the par-
pose of concealment. Be then gave the names of other per-
sons who were concerned in the plunder.
Mr. Ingham said it was clear there was a wholesale system
of plunder going on in the Tower, and he had no doubt that
the prisoner and his companions thought that as the pro-
perty belonged to the government, there would be no
notice taken of it. In consideration of his previous goad
character, he would not commit him for trial, bat fine him
el. for the unlawful polemist, and in default commit him
fox four weeks.

Wheat, foe which the trade was very languid. Prices were the turn
lower, and but very little business traneucted. Barley was in large
supply, und the demand quite inadequate. A further reduction of In.
per qr. took place, and nut few rules effected. Vets were a very dull
rale, yet last week's prices were made. Malt in moderate request,

WINCIAItSTER, Dee. 8.-With a moderate attendance of
buyers at our market to-day, we were very largely supplied with all
descriptions or grain. 'lke trade in Wheat was very slow, Lest
arimpiee barely maintaining last week's prices, whilst the inferior
qualities were le. to le. G,L per qr. cheaper. The demand for Barley
waa also very limited, and to effect sales IP. par qr. Irk money was
submitted to. oats maintained their price. In othr r articles but
little doing, and last week's quotations nominally unaltered. Wheat,
91. to 101. Ws. per load. Barley, 225. to gas. Oats, bike, ins. to

WISB6CII, Dee. 8.-A small supply of Wheat to-day. and
all good dry qualities readily bring last week's prices. More Beane
showing, the sale slow, and le. cheaper, owing to their want of con-
dition. Few oat, here, and last week's prices obtained. Wheat,
white, 3es. to 41s. • extra, 445.; red, 31s. to 396.• extra, 40e. per

WuRCESTER, Dec. 8.-At our market to-day there was
less deposition to: buy ; the sale of Wheut raid the attendance of
buyers 'being large, good qualities were quite es dear. Barley dull,
and declined Id. to In. per qr. for all dr seriptione. Fine Oats mein.
mined their value, and were inquired for; interior, Gd. to Is. per qr.
cheaper. Beans le. per qr. lower. In Peso the turn was in favour of
the buyer.
lustst, Dee. 8.-The weather continued wet the whole of
the par week, and a great quantity of rain has fallen. At this day's
market there has been a moderate show of all descriptions of gram,
which has brought about the same prices la la-t week, and we do not
alter our quotations. Wheat, white, 395. to 425. per imp. qr. ; red,
Ws. to aea. Barley, malting, 21e. to 2.15.; grinding, IBn. to 20s.

DUBI.In, Dgc 7.-We bad a very small supply of all
deportee ions of grain at our market to-day, and we have no alteration
to report iu the currencies of Tuesday. We, therefore, report that
day's quotation*. The sale of Indian core continues in retail, but
holders are rather firmer as to price. White wheat new, 18e. to 225;

iodise% corn, 255. to Vs, per 4801b5.
BeLvkor, Dee. G. -The country is so saturated with the
sontinned wet weather, as to prohibit any resumption of field labour,
and our advices state that the preparaten of the land is in on un.
usually backward state, and that only a email breadth of Wheat has
up to the present time been town. Toe supplies of grain have been
light this week, but the quality seems to improve as the season ad-
vances Wheat: Fine parcebt of either white or red maintain their
value, whilst inferior lots arc again easier to purchase. In store
there is not much doing, though • small °once:con on the part of
holders woted induce sale', to some extent. Flour is a heavy sale,
and prices are various. Burley, malting, eel', freely at furmer rates,
whilst g• Jotting is a slow sale, at rather less money. Oats scarce, and
sell readily at termer rates. Oatmeal has declinrd 3d., and is a slow
' sale. Indian Corn is held for an advance of 2s. lid per ton, which
checks the demand. Fellow, 6!. ss. to 61. 155.; white about 10a.

htwenlerr, Dec. 8. -The weather for the last week has
been so ince-eantly wet that tillage and Wheat-sewing arc suireended,
and very little ,own yet. The supplu sof grain to market are but
moderate, and yet no improvmeat In price; good milling Wheat Otto.
mends full prices, but inferior is not in good Llama. A rather slow
sale in Indian Corn, rind a brisk demand Inc Rye. In other articles of
breadstuffs we report an active retail trade. Present prices: Wheat, red,
11d. to 13d. • white, 177 d. to 14d. Oats, 7d. to 71d. Barley, 7d.

NI/ATM/FORD, Dec. 8.-Our recsipts of home grown grain
since Saturday last have been smaller than fur any week since harvest,
and the condition, from Incessant rain, very iedrferent. The trade
gene ally, owing to the paralysing accounts from the leading English
markets', has been in a state of the greatest depre.rion, with a tendency
to lower priors lee most articles Wheat, of all description., except
dry foreign (which is wanted for mixing), must Ise written cheaper by
3d. per barrel. Barley oleo is easier to purchase. Oats : Good ram-
ples of block and heavy white maintain their virtue, but light descrip-
tions of the latter have declined GI. per barrel. Flour must be noted
cheaper by fed. per sack. The demand fur Indian C rn continues at-
tiee, and holders are looking fur an advance of 3d. per barrel.

KIRKCALDY, D:c. 8.-We have had boisterous weather
during the week, and to-day it continues, with a heavy sea on the
shore, preventing vereels getting: in or out of our harbour. At our
country markets this week we had rather more grain offering than
last week ,• nevertheless, sales of Barley and eats were geeeraky
readily effected at previous rates. Wheat was in worse condition, and
consequr ntly was Is. to 2a. per qr. lower. Ilere, to-day, we had only
moderate supplies of all kinds of grain ; good qualities sold readily at
last week's rates while see-andary and inferior were Gd. to ls. per qr.
lower. Wheat, 30s. to 40s. per qr. Barley, 16e. 6d. to 235. Oats,

CATTLE, &c, LEICESTER CHRISMAS ANNUAL FAT
Fats, Dec. B.—Ths annual fair for fat stems was held in this
town to-day, and was well suppled. Although the inclemency of
the weather operated in the early part of the day against the sellers,
towards noon many sales were effected; but a large quartity of in-
ferior stock went away untold. Taking all things into oonotderatiOnt
as good prices have been obtained as were expected. rine fat ileef
