SURREY ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

Before Thome. Buckle, Esq., and • Bench of Magistrates.
A TRADESMAN CONVICTED OF PASSING A I'LASH NOTE.
—J. Chisholm, a respectable looking man, 60 years of age,
was indicted for unlawfully obtaining the sum of 61. lfe.
from Joseph Wilkinson, a master sweep, in the Kent-road.
—The prisoner keeps a baker's shop near the Canal-
bridge, in the Old Kent.rosd, and on the 28th
of August purchased a horse of the prosecutor for
41. 41. The son of the latter, a young man, 20 years
of age, was sent home with the animal, when they went to •
beer shop, where the prisoner polled out what was supposed
to be • 101. bank note, telling him to get change. The
young man went home and got 51. 16s. from his mother, and
returned to him, when the prisoner gave him a note pur-
porting to be a 101. Bank of England note. He could neither
reed nor write, but he put it safely in his pocket and
carried it home to his mother, who carefully locked it up
in a drawer. She did not fully examine the note, but
it did not go out of her custody. On the Wednesday follow-
ing she had occasion to pay away some money, when she dis-
covered that the note was of the Bank of Elegance, and not
worth a straw. The prosecutor proceeded to the prisoner,
and on his refusing to give him the money he had defrauded
him of, he gave him into custody. The prisoner, however,
escaped from the officer, and was not apprehended until the
24th of September. The winnows swore that the note now
produced was the one received from the prisoner. They un-
derwent a very lengthy cross-examination by Mr. Lilley the
prisoner's esitursel, but their testimony was not shaken in any
yap—The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the court
sentenced him to 28 days' imprisonment in the Mouse of
Correction.

POLICE.-YFJ3TERDAT.

MANSION-HOUSE. IMPORTATION 07 CHILDReN
PROx ABHOAD.—A little German boy, named Gioia. was
brought before the Lord Mayor. The Rev. Dr. Louis
Cappel, minister of the German church, stated that the
child had not been brought before his lordship as a prisoner,
bat as a suppliant for justioe. He was one of those victims
of the cruel traders in unprotected foreign children with
whom the metropolis abounded. It was at the request of
the Society of the Friends of Foreignism in Distress, that
application was made upon the part of the boy, for the pur-
pose of compelling, if possible, one o:grand Heiner, who
had induced him to come to England as a street-organ
player, to supply the means of sending him back to Germany.
It was the practice of persons, who like Hewer obtained a
good livelihood by that sort of trade, to prevail upon parents
at certain seasons to dispose of their children for musical
employment in England, upon the receipt of some trifle of
money, and the promise of good bed, board, and
wages, and the result was, that multitudes of these
young creatures were in a very short time ruined in health
and morals, and treated with the utmost cruelty and indig-
nity. In the present case Heuer had engaged Gluts for 18
months for the sum of 81. and the promise of comfortable sup-
port, and had at the same time brought over with him nine
ether boys. At first the boys were treated with kindness,
but upon being taken down to Yorkshire to work at the
music they were beaten and kicked, and starved and aban-
doned by Heuser, who enjoyed the independence they pro-
vided for him at home in smoking and drinking. Clots had
been turned off without receiving a shilling of the pay due to
him.—The Lord Mayor: I am perfectly aware from any personal
observation of the cruelties inflicted upon these poor children.
In my rambles through the metropolis I have seen numbers
of them sitting on the steps of ball dcors, exhausted and
asleep after their severe labours. I have seen, too, after
some little time, a great change take place in the appearance
of the sufferers, who, from the hardships and ill-treatment
to which they have been exposed, have totally lost the ap-
pearance of health with which they first entered the metro-
polis. I fear, however, that, at any rate in this particular
case, my interference cannot be of avail. The only remedy
hare appears to be by a civil action, sad the county court
may in each a ease be turned to good advantage.—
Dr. Cappel said ha had known instances in which children
employed 112 the manner described had died on the road.—
The Lord Mayor I shall be most happy to render any
assistance so chief magistrate. Perhaps an indictment for
having brought over children to this country far the purpose
of burlening parishes with them may be reemted to. I
shah leave it to yen to consider of the best mode of proceed-
ing to check such outrages upon humanity, and shall most
willingly attend to any representation upon a future occa-
sion.

GUILDHALL. -OBTAINING GOODS CEDER FALSE
_ • • • • •

Parriaticas.J. RsuseU was finally examined. charged with
obtaining goods under false pretense —On Wednesday the
prisoner presented a note containing an order for a piece el
satin to Mr. Brewin, a clerk in the employment of Means.
Thompson, of Wood-street, Cheapaide. Mr. Brewin, know
in Mr. Clark's handwriting, and being aware that be never
seat ceders, made inquiries of the prisoner, and eventually
gave him into cwitody. The next charge was for obtaining
two sable muffs from Mr. Berncestel, furrier, of the Dover-
road, Borough, when he represented that he was in the em-
ploy of Mr. Caine, in the York-road, Kennington, who
had tent him for them, at the same time presenting the ne-
emery order.—The inquiry was adjourned for the produc-
tion of the muffs, which had been pledged, one of them at
Mr. Neale'', of Penton-at. Pentonville, and the other

Alderman /Mug oilrerel— If Mr. Needles 'wee present,
r he understood that he had taken in • muff,
on which be lent one pound ; and, although the
value of it was 41. 15e. 64., yet he had purchased the
ticket from the prisoner shortly after for 2a. 6d. Mr.Needes
said that he had certainly purchased the ticket, but under
thew eircumwsnces woman, on the 15th inst., pawned
the muff for 11., and in about the or sin days after the pri-
soner come and produced the ticket, at the same time asking
if it was of any use to him, as he bed no farther use for it
himself, being in reduced circumstance., and baring ne cc-
minion for things of that kind, and concluded by wanting to
know what he would give.—Ald. Sidney : If the muff had
bees pledged within my jurisdiction, I certainly should have
deed you under the act in the penalty of 101., which set dis-
dully states that no pawnbroker shall purchue any goods
pawned at their house on any pretence whatever, except at
the general sale of enndeemed pledges.—Mr. Need's said
that he wee exceedingly sorry he had fallen into such a seri-
ous error, and should be more cautious for the future. His
role reason for purchasing the ticket was oa account of the
article being liable to deteriorate in value by keeping long.
The prisoner said he. was so reduced that diStrue drove him
A it. He could receive • rood character from all his masters.
Aid. Sidney said it was hie duty to commit him to the Cen-
tral Criminal Court for trial. On Mr. Bcmcastel leaving,
Ald. Sidney observed that what he wan going to say was nut
from any vindictive feeieg towards the pawnbroker, but if
that gentleman (Mr. B.) telt actuated on public grounds to

grtrln the maps further, be could do so by summoning
eedee Debi ra asagistrease of the district In which he
resided, as it wee II math 111111111111 illektbat goods should be

the alderman, and said he should adnpt his sae gestion.
ECORBiIiT or BANIL•MOTINI.—J. Burps* was charged on
with baying woks hank-raw.—Yr. A. Spellman,
Linakembelneste wag ithatter, stated that the

and paid stolen Sink of Ea* sal SD the slmager there.
On Thursday evening a friend of the prieoww brought some
American notes which were purchased from him, and paid
sovereigns. In about one hour after that, the prisoner
end another person came in, and wished to know what had
been received by the former party for the notes, as it ap-
Cethey had had a dispute about the: amount received.
xtisoner asked if he could change any. more, and be de-
sired him to call the following moring. The notes
amounted to 13.5 dollars, and there were 9 five.shilling notes.
—ln reply to Alderman Sidney, Mr. Spellman said that he
received a oommusication from his correspondent at Liver-
pool to beware of taking certain notes of that description,
as they had been obtained by the payment of stolen Bank of
England notes to the amount of 1501. He had received no
description of the party, and was not aware whether he was
the person who either stole the bank-notes or exchanged
them for American ones. He gave him in charge on sus-
picion, as he fouod some of the notes bore the initials of a
money-changer in Liverpool.—The prisoner stated that
while standing at the corner of Lord-street, Liverpool,
a young man, who called himself John Watson, asked him
where he could change some American notes. He replied
that he thought it might be done at • money-changer's in the
Waterloo-road, Liverpool. He said he could not get change
there, and a proposal wan made by Watson that if he would
come up to London with him, all his expenses should be paid,
and that he knew a Captain Broadwater who would get
them changed for him. On their arrival in London an elderly
person, whom he thought to be the captain spoken of, went
the previous evening to change some of the notes, and pri-
soner afterwards accompanied Watson to see what amount
the captain had received for them He knew nothing of the
parties, nor of the stolen notes. He had been a respectable
publican (or six or seven years in Liverpool, but latterly had
got into difeculties.—The constable produced some papers,
and an American note was found upon him when searched.
—Alderman Sidney said he should remand the case for a
few days, to give an opportunity of apprehending the other
persons. The case, moat likely, would eventually be sent
down to Liverpool. _

CLERKENWELL. ROBBING JEWELLERS.— Jacobs
was finally examined, charged by Mr. John Garrit, lapi-
dary, of No. 6, Red Lion-street, Clerkeawell, with stealing
a ruby, value 31., an emerald, value 21. 10s., and a garnet
carbuncle, value 21. 10s. The court was crowded by
jewellers, &c., who had been plundered by the prisoner ,
The prisoner, on the 30th June last, called at the house of
the prosecutor, and represented that he was commissioned
by a foreign gentleman to purchase same diamonds and
jewellery, when he selected from the stock of prosecutor
.51. worth of articles, saying he would pay ready cash, and
requested that the invoice might be made out, and he would
call again on the following day. He went to his appoint.
meat and saw the prosecutor's son, when he asked to see
the property, which was produced to him, and after looking
over the articles he left the place with the invoice, saying he
would call again on the following day. He did not call,
however, and subsequently, on searching the packets,
the above articles were missed. At the beginning
of July, Mr. Rotschild, a diamond merchant, called
upon the prosecutor to dispose of some stones,
when he produced the garnet carbuncle, which was
identified by the prosecutor as that which had been
stolen. Mr. Rotschild said he had purchased it from
Mr. Calisher, diamond merchant, of Aldgate, and on that
gentleman being communicated with he said he bed put..
chased it, together with a ruby and emerald, of the prisoner,
who was traced and given into custody. The ruby and
emerald bad been sold to a Mr. Samuels, of Bury-street,
City.—Mr. Calisher deposed to having purchased the
articles of the prisoner. —Mr. Wakeling slid that the 1:16-
soner had carried on a wholesale system of plunder under
these circumstances in London and Birmingham, &c., and
numerous tradesmen had come from Birmingham through
the former report of the prisoner's examination in the news-
papers' and they were now present to identify him as having
robbed them of property under similar circumstances.—Mr.
Tyrwhitt said he would commit the prisoner to take his trial
on Mr. Oarrit's charge, and the other cases must be tried at
Birmingham.
MARYLEAONE.—ALLEGED IMPROPER CONDCCT Or A
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND THE GAOLIZ OF ruts COURT.—
The investigation, by order of the Secretary of State, was
proceeded with before Mr. Broughton and Mr. Long (Lord
Montford was also present), into the charges brought against
William Mitchell, the gaoler of this court, in a report made
to the visiting justices of Ckrkenwell, under circumstances
which appeared in this kennel of Friday, Oct. 22, headed
" Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates." There are two dis-
tinct charges of improper conduct, in one of which Mr.
Robinson, well known sea legal practitioner at the metro-
politan police-courts, is deeply concerned. That gentleman
was nresent, notice having been given him of the intended
inquiry, but owing to the parties not being in attendance, in
his particular ease, another against Mitchell, which is alleged
to have happened sines the report of the visiting justices
has been made was proceeded with. Mr. Wolff attended
on behalf of Mitchell.—Anne Simons, who was brought up
from Tothill-fields prison to give evidence, was examined,
and stated that she was locked up in • cell by Mitchell, who
recommended her to employ Mr. Robinson, and sent a mes-
senger, Adam Kirsch, for that gentleman. Upon his ar-
rival, however, she had engaged a Mr. Wathen, and she
gave Mitchell two shillings for the messenger's trouble. She
also deposed that when he discovered that sbe would not
employ Mr. Robinson, Mitchell having previously behaved
kindly towards her, altered his manner and became quite
the reverse. The 'inners having concluded her evidence,
Mr. Wolff said Mr. Mitchell had been connected with that
establishment twenty-olio years and bad
slightest imputation upon his character before. He was in a
condition to prove that Mitchell had never received the 25.,
and would call the man who did receive it. —Mr. Broughton:
You do not dispute that the 2a. was received for the purpose
of fetching a 'solicitor, through the medium of an officer of
this court—a system which ought not to exist ?—Mr.
Wolfe: I do not dispute that this female paid 2s. for the
purpose of a solicitor being fetched, bat I do say Mitchell
had nothing whatever to do with it. —Adam Hirsch,
on being examined, proved such to be the fact, adding
that it was himself and not Mitchell who recommended Mr.
Robinson. At the conclusion of the evidence the magistrates
retired, and on their return Mr. Long asked Mitchell what
he had to say in answer to the two charges preferred against
him—the first of taking spirits into the cell to the woman
Marshall, and the other of introducing the solicitor to the '
prisoner and taking money for so doing.—Mitchell said there
was no glass at all in the cell. After the depositions were
red over and the committal made out I was obliged to leed
this woman along the yard, she appeared so faint that she
could scarcely stand. I opened the cell and set her down on
a seat and left. I went sometime afterwards to see how she
was, when she complained of being so ill and full of wind that
she could not keep anything on her stomach and would die
if she had not some relief. I said, what will you have, and
she said anything to relieve this wind. I went over to the
public-house and, asked fora small bottle and had a glass if
gin and peppermint put into it for • poor woman who, X
said, was very ill. I took it to her and told her
not to drink it all at once, and left it with
her.—Mr. Broughton Are you not aware of a regal&
lion interdicting the introduction of anything like spirits into
the cell of • police-court?—Mitchell : I am, your. worship-)
but the late Mr. Rawlinson, in cases of emergency and ill-
ness, allowed me to do so.—Mr. Broughton : But you knew
that this woman had been before me and Mr. Fell, when she
did not appear ill at all. Why not apply to me or Mr. Fell
before you did so I—Mitch.ll: In nth • cue I did not think
it at all necessary. The woman had no money, and I paid
for the gin and peppermint out of my own pocket. —Mr.
Long: You will now give some explanation whether Ann
Simons 'eked you to get here solicitor or not, and whether
you did not tell her that a particular person would attend
the next day ? If en, I want to know how you can, with
the situation you hold, take upon yourself to recommend •
particular person in preference to any 'other professional
man I—Mitchell : I was not the first person ohs applied to
for a solicitor. I was told that she wanted one, but I said I
could not do anything in it until she was out of the hands of
the police, and neither should I recommend any one. She
spoke to me after the man, and putting her hand on my
shoulder rid, "Cannot I have a solicitor ?" I said
I would not recommend any one to her whilst
she was in the hands of the police. I heard nothing
more of it until after she was remanded, when she
said " How am I to get a solicitor ?"—I said: " You
can have a messenger and send for one, or you can have
pen, ink, and paper, and write."—" Oh," says she, " the
messenger will be quickest." I then shut the cell-door, and
went away for Adam Kirsch, and told him that he was
wanted. I told him that a woman wanted him to go loose-
where, as she wanted a solicitor. I opened the door end
told ber there was the young man who would go anywhere
she liked for her. She asked Wm if be would go and get
her a solicitor. He said "Who shall I go to ?' and ale
replied : " To any one you like." I think he said he aeon
go for Mr. Robinson.—Mr. Broughton : Do you arm Is
say that Mr. Robinson's name was not mentioned Ulm
then, or that you did not mention it to him I—Mitchell : I
do, your worship.—Mr. Long : That is directly contrary to
her statement, but it is borne out, in a great measure, by
Kirsch's statement. —Mitchell : As for the two shillings, I
never touched them, or had one halfpenny from her in my
life.—Mr. Broughton inquired if the parties in the other
case were present, and was answered in the negative, al-
though it was proved they had been summoned to attend.—
Mr. Robinson said he was ready to answer the grow
calumnies that had been heaped upon hire, and had
been most ansiousto meet his accusers. He had done every-
thing in his power to cause the attendance of the womak
Wright, who had made the unfounded charge against him*/
having taken money from her under circumstances which, if
true, would have reflected the greatest discredit upon him as
a legal adviser.—Mr. Long; If the women do not appear on
the next occasion. I am sure that all the right-thinking part
of the community will be of opinion that it is
calumny, or that you have been calumniated, unleVilrtitY
arrive at the conclusion that the parties are kept purposely
out of the way.—Mr. Wolff also complained of the remarks
of Mr. Waleohy, in introducing his name in so unfavourable
• point of view, when there was no justification for so doing
—The magistrates expressed their determination to sift the
affair to the bottom, and their intention to resume the in-
vestigation on Thursday nezt.—Mr. Robinson
assure the ringlet:rates that be would spare no plea to
or
expense to bring the woman Wright forward.
THAMES.-0981111:CTING A CUSTOM-HOUSE Orman.—
J. Bostack, the chief engineer of the Antwerpen, was charged
with illegally obstructing C. Parry, a revenue officer, in the

execution of his duty. On the flth Inst., the officer, Parry,
made a seizure of some cigars on • man who came out of the
engineer's department, and half a pound of contraband snuff
on another. He afterward* asked per niuion of the second
engineer to enter the berth occupied by him and the defend-
ant ; and upon entering it he opened a drawer, in
which he found • package of tobacco, which he was
shout to seize when the second engineer shut the drawer
sharply with his knee, and the d. fondant asked Parry
what business be bad in his place.: Parry replied he
came there to do his duty, on which Bowack commenced
abusing him, took him by the collar and thrust him out of
the place, and said be did not care for tide surveyors or any
other officers, and that a 51. note was nothing to him. Be
also used • good seamy taunting expressions.—On cross-ex-
amination by Mr. Pelham for Demerit, the officer said the
ship was well rummaged the day before the transaction, and
that he had been drinking with the defendant.—Mr. Yard-
ley thought the information should have been laid under the
36th section of the act, which imposed a penalty of 1001.
The 56th section, under which the present information was
laid, was applicable to the graver offence of persons assem-
bling to run spirits or tobacco, and preventing a seizure
being made.—Mr. Beverly said there had been convictions
under the 56th claque for offences similar to the present.—
Mr. Yardley had so much doubt on the subject that he would
not convict, and dismissed the cue ; at the manse time stating
that no one could doubt that Bowe& bad acted with great
impropriety, and that a private friend of the defendant's,
who had sent him (the magistrate) a letter relating to the
cue, had acted with still greater impropriety.

MONEY MARKET.

FIIDAY_ETZIIII3O.

The stock market has been the scene of much con-
fusion to-day, to account for which plausible rumours I
have not been wanting. The failure of more than
one bank, and of some great commercial house un-
named, have been among the current gossip, but no-
thing has transpired of such a nature as to warrant
the credibility of the statements. Two respectable
trading firms in the west end of the town—shop-
keepers—are understood, however, to have suspended
payments, with the melancholy result in one of the
cases, as said, of the suicide of one of the parties, who
had retired some time since in easy or wealthy
circumstances, having remained liable as • part-
ner through default of gazetting the dissolution.
Loose speculations were circulated about the ex-
traordinary circumstances of financial and political
peril which should have indeced the government
to convoke parliament so early as the 18th
proximo, although it was well known at the
time of the last prorogation that the legislature was
to be called together about the date to which ad-
journed. The state of Ireland was a cause fixed upon
for this more early but expected summons for parlia-
ment, as arising from some unexplained but more
alarming condition of affairs there. Again, the Bank
returns for the week ending on Saturday last were
said to present most unfavourable features—a report
which, as will be seen hereafter, was substantially
confirmed. Under the effect ostensibly of these concur-
rently discouraging circumstances, the funds under-
went a continuous decline from the beginning to the
close of business. Consols opened, lower by 4 per
cent., at 811 money, and 811, for time, than yester-
day. They left off, after various fluctuations, 801 to
11 money, and 811 to 1 for time. The facts
referred to bad no real influence in provoking this
depression of values. The state of credit and the
condition of the country altogether in its commercial,
monetary and social aspect, could alone have been the
moving cause, viewed through the sombre medium of
speculation interested in magnifying present evils for
the purpose of profit, or more conscientiously in the
desponding mood of fearing, and acting in fear of,
the worst. Reduced Threes were 801 to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 811 to t. Exchequer
Bills, 245. to 18s. discount. India Bonds, 38e. to 30s.
discount. Bank Stock, 182 to 4. Long Annuities,
81 to Z.
Beyond the few transactions connected with the
settlement of account and pay day, foreign stocks
were scarcely dealt in. Brazilian were called 76 to
I 8. Mexican, lot to 16:. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
! per Cents., 53 to 1 • the Fours, 811 to 2. Russian,
103 to 5. Spanish 'Fives' 17 to 1; the Threes, 27
to 1. Portuguese, 191 to 211,
Foreign exchange was rather lower to-day on some
• of the chief drawing places, with, of course, less die-
: position to buy bills, and little money at market. On
Amsterdam the rates negotiated were 12.9 to 10 ; on
i Rotterdam, 12.10 to 1 ; on Antwerp, 26.20 to 30 ; on
Hamburg, 14.1 to 2 ; on Frankfort, 1241 to 5 ; on
I Paris, 26 to .10; on Vienna, 10.18 to 25 ; on Leg-
; horn, 31.50 to 70 ; on Naples, 381 to 9 ; on Madrid,
, 461 to 1-211 at 3 months. On Lisboa, at 60 days,
, 511 to 52.
The private letters from Boston, by the Hibernia,
mention that the potato crop was quite • failure in
the state of Massachusetts. Statements to the_ same

effect substantially were current in respect of Mary-
land and other states. Assuming the facts to be cor-
rect, and with regard to Massachusetts they are de-
rived from a highly respectable source, quite un-
connected with commercial interests, the quantity of
food disposable for exportation to Europe, and else- I
where, would be materially diminished, and prices
eventually rule higher in consequence. The rate of
exchange at 8f forbids all hope of any gold coming
over for some time to come, notwithstanding the fal-
lacious assurances of large remittances advised by
the Henry Clay last in.
Private letters from Newcastle-on-Tyne this morn-
' ing confirm the statement under this head some days
since, of the complete restoration of banking confi-
dence and credit which hail followed from the almost
unexampled promptitude with which the district bank
had met the severe run upon it consequent on the
embarrassments of the Union Bank. The event has
served to re-establish public faith in the stability of
the resources and capital of that bask, and the ability
of itsmanagement, upon a firmer basis even than before.
The stoppage of -Mr. P. Cniikshank, in the West
India trade, was mentioned to-day on 'Change ; the
amount of liabilities unknown.
The Bank averages for the week ending the 23rd
instant, give, as compared with the week preceding,
the following results :

The reserve of notes in the banking department—

—was reduced to 1,547,2701., against 2,630,1151. the
week before. The reserve of coin and bake was
only 447246/. besides. This is altogether a bad
account of the Bank's affairs for the week in question.

Mr. John Barton, in the silk trade ; Mr. W. Hartwright, an

but the amount of their engagements has not transpired.
With reference to the affairs of Mr. Robt. Gardner, it has
been announced on good authority that his debts are about
100,0001, whilst his property is estimated at about 300,0001.,
Of late years his large business has been chiefly confined to
mercantile operations, but he possessed a good spinning and
