16th ult. On the 19th a strong gale came on from the south-
wee, and afterwards shifted to the north-west; put into
Carthagena on the 22nd for coal, and left on the 23rd,
arriving at Gibraltar on the 27th ; having coaled, she sailed
again on the following day. On the 30th ult., in lat. 39.30,
the wind came round to the N.N.E., and blew a fresh gale,
and making but little way, the steamer put into Vigo on
the let inst. to we her fuel; she left Vigo on the
2nd inkt.— The Hecla came into harbour this noon to
owl, and will Sail this evening for Woolwich, to be paid
et, hiving been nearly five years in commission. The
Hada has brought no intelligence of the lam of the Avenger.

filming morning from Cork, and thence to Lisbon and
Gibraltar.-1 he hirkenhead, Commander Ingram, St. troop
ship, is ordered to be paid off, all standing, end to be kept
ready for recommissioning. This steamer has only been in
commission two years, and her being ordered to pay off i• an
unusual circumstance.—The owners of the Horatio brig, run
down (and lost) by the Birkenhead, heve made a claim of
7,0001. and upwards upon the Admiralty ; the steamer has
a great many defects to make good.—The Cyclops and
Gorgon, sta., it is reported will not be commissioned
until the steam basin is ready to receive them, which
will, it is anticipated, be early in the spring .—There
are two royal marines now in custody on board the
Victory, and belonging to the Endymion, who are waiting
to be tried for desertion from that Ship while on her foreign
station.—The Plover, from Sheerness, was brought as far as
St. Catherine, by the Cyclops, who was obliged to cast her
off at that point. The Plover reached St. Helens last night
and anchored, waiting a favosrable wind to proceed to
rinnonth.
Woonvian, JAN. EL—Lightning, et. v., blaster Commander
Petley, use been taken into the basin to repair the uamages
occasioned by her late collision with the Banshee. Tho re-
sult of the inquiry before Capt. Austen has led to the
opinion that the accident occurred principally through the
inability of the people on board the Ban-hee to make that
vessel answer her helm. She was passing over • shoal at the
time of the collision, and it is well known that fast vessels,
ander such circumstances, always steer " wild," as the
nautical expression runs.—The Princess Alice, st. v., left
yesterday to resume her place on the Dover statioa, having
completed her repairs at this port.—Stromboli, st. sloop,
Commander LordW. A. Beauclerk, left yesterday for Ports-
mouth, calling at Greenhithe to adjust her compasses. Her
destination is stated to be Lisbon, but she will receive her
final orders at Portsmouth.—The particulars of the lose of
the Avenger, which reached here this morning, have created
aniversel sympathy for the ill-fated crew.—The annual entry
of apprentices took place on the Ist. inst., and, in accordance
with the new regulations, the youths are now under examinee
tion by the schoolmaster, with the view to their state of
proficiency being reported to the authorities.—The whole of
the steam sloops in commission at this port have left us, and
the only vessels now hoisting pendants are the yachts and
tugs on service, viz., the Black Eagle, Lightning, and
Monkey.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Ur. Commissioner Bou%urn.
IN RE FALXNER AND FARISN.—Thett bankrupts were
merchants, and carried on business in Old Broad-street,
whose names appeared before the public some time since,
under the head of " police report; respecting an alleged
forgery of scrip. Falkner now came up to par his hod ex-
amination, but Fabian had not as yet surrendered.—The
Bet bore 'date the 29th of October, 1847, and the balance
sheet, which commenced on the 7th of Ma 1846, showed
that the capital the bankrupts commencedwith was 5181.,
which fact was arrived at threugh Falkner; Fabian having
absconded, and. taken with him the greater portico of too
partnership accounts. The debts were 3,8651., and the
assets stated to be, property in the possession of tne City
police authorities, 1,9141. ; property consigned, 1471 cash
at bankers', 371. ; and debtors, 1,7061.—Mr. Stopher, (or the
assignees, had no objection to offer to the accounts, which
ke considered were the best that could be rendered.—
Mr. Com. Goulburn Then all these other questions as to
criminal or civil matters will be discussed upon another occa-
aioa.—Mr. Stopher said that the criminal proceedings, es
regarded Falkner, were diliosed of. —Mr. Com. Goulburn
observed that the certificate did not look very promising.—
A proof was then tendered for 7501., being for money alleged
to have been lent to the firm.—The creditor stated that he
MSS a share agent, residing in Bank Chambers, and sought
to prove against the joint estate for 7501. He knew nothing
of the bankrupts. His dealing was with a Mr. Richards,
who said he acted as their agent in the trans.
action. Richards had nothing to show that he
was employed by them.—The solicitor for the creditor
wished to ask Mr. Falkner a tew questions.—Mr. Commis.
stoner Goulburn said that the only point he had to examine
upon was as to the agency, and he might stand or fall by
that examination.—The solicitor did not wish it to be said
when he came to prove at another meeting that he had de-
layed so doing till the last moment, and had not, therefore,
Afforded time for examination.—Mr. Falkner was then ex-
amined, and denied that Richards was employed as agent
$o the firm, tied he did not give any authority express or
implied, for him so to act. In the month of April, witness
did not employ or sanction the employment of Richards for
the purpose of obtaining loans upon " Buckingluunshir. e

scrip."—Mr. Commissioner Goulbura said there was not the
slightest pretence for sustaining the claim, and if he ad-
mitted it he should be a party to the violation of every min-
i ciple of law and justims.—Proof rejected.—The bankrupt

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
Before Mr. Commissioner Law.
1m AB CRAWBBKB.—SIXTI PIK CIINT.—This insolvent
was opposed for Mr. Roberts, a gentleman who had lent
money to the debtor at the nu of 60 per cent, and who now
complained that the insolvent had'given hint a worthless
name with a bill that he had discounted.—The commissioner
said he thought the name on the bill was a much better one
than the man who charged 60 per cent. to discount it
dee/reed. He (the commissioner) only wished he had
power to deprive such mvsons of the benefit of any dividend
till every other creditor was paid. He should certainly not
refine to name a day for the final order.—A day was accord-
ingly appointed.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.—Before Mr. Justice Patteson and Mr. Justice Motile.
LJTriat NO A POROED 0 RDBR.—S. U. StAter, 38, described
as a shoemaker,was indicted for feloniously forging and utter-
ing a warrant or order for 651., with intent to defraud Messrs.
Matiterman and Co.—lt appeared that Mr. James, • solicitor
in Ely-place, kept an account at the prosecutor's ►ank, and
ha the course of his professional duties he had sometimes
emission to give drafts for small amounts in favour of a Mrs.
Hedlow, residing in Scotland, and early in July ► draft for
111.65. was so drawn. The Prisoner was employed as a sorter
and letter carrier in the Post-offloe, and it was suggested
that, by reason of his position, he wee enabled to obtain
posetruOn of this letter, and thus to become acquainted
with the nature of the transactions between the parties, and
also with the handwriting of Mr. James.—This letter never
arrived at its destination, and has not since been
heard of; but, on the 23rd of July, a letter arrived
at Messrs. Manterman's, purporting to come from Mn.
Hedlow, and dated from Spring Cottage, Kensington,
which contained • cheque, apparently drawn on Mr.
James, for 651., and the hankers were requested to send the
halves of a 401. and three 61. notes to the address indicated,
in payment of the draft in question. The notes were re-
mitted, and it turned out that there was no such place as
Spring-place at Kensington, and in accordance with the
custom of the Post-office, the letter was sent to the Kenning-
ton district, where the prisoner was a carrier, and by this
means it was suggested that he obtained possession of the
letter containing the notes. A letter was sent a day or two
afterwards purporting also to be from Mrs. Hedlow, an.
knowledging the receipt of the notes, and pursuant to her
request the remaining halves were despatched from the
bank. On July 29 a boy went to the Bank of England,
bearing a letter addressed to the cashier, which was
signed C. Wingrove, and which contained the notes
in question, and a request that they might be
cashed for gold, and the amount sent by the
bearer. Mr. Marshall, the gentleman to whom the letter
was banded, appeared to entertain some suspicion of the na-
turn of the transaction, and he put a few questions to the
boy who had brought the letter, and in the end declined to
cash the notes, but allowed the boy to depart, telling him
that the person who had sent kim must come himself fur the
money. The evidence against the prisoner was entirely of •
circumstantial character, and consisted of the testimony of
witnesses who expressed a belief that the letters relating to
the forged cheque were in the handwriting of the pri-
soner, also • proof of the nature of the service in the
Post-office, to show that the answers sent by the
bankers might in the ordinary course have come
into his possession ; and, in addition to these facts.
the boy above referred to declared that be received
the letter which he took to the Bank of England, and which
contained the notes that were the result of the forgery, from
the prisoner—The jury returned • verdict of Guilty at ut-
tering, and Sol Guilty of forging, the instrument in question.
—There was another indictment of a similar character,
against the prisoner, but to this he pleaded guilty.—Mr.
Justice Patteson sentenced him to be transported for ten

years.
ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ?du EDER.— T. Duck, 40, labourer,
was indicted for feloniously attempting to administer to his
wife, Jane Matilda Duck, a quantity of laudanum with in-
tent to murder her. When he was placed at the bar he de-
clared with great earnestness his innocence of the crime im-
puted to him.
Jane Matilda Duck deposed that she was the wife of the
prisoner ; they had been married twenty-two years, and always
lived together. Before the occurrence took place she had
occasion to go to the Hammersmith Police Court to complain
of her husband's violence, but she forgave him all that oc-
curred previous to this transaction. One day. her husband
came home about half-past five in the evening and they
were to have tea together. Witness made the tea and poured
out two cups full and placed them on a chair, as they bail
no table in the room. The witness, who was evidently
actuated by a wish to favour the accused, then said that her
child cried and wanted to sit in the chair in which the pri-
soner was seated, and the prisoner got up end changed seats
with her, the result of which movement was that
the cup of tea before her was the one that was intended
for the prisoner himself. The child had been sent for
some milk, and after she went to let him in, she tasted
his tea, and observed that it was very nasty. She asked the
prisoner to taste it, and told him she would see what was in
it, and be replied that there was nothing in it for her. She
then poured off a portion of the contents of the cup, and the
prisoner took it up, and threw it under the grate. Witness
drank some from the other cup, and did not observe anything
particular in the taste of it. She then went out with the
basin and cup, and went to different doctor's shops, and on
her return she told the prisoner that they said there was
poison in the tea, and she asked the prisoner to ge out with
her to • doctor, but he refused to do so. During the time
they were living in White Lion-passage, when this occurred,
she never saw her husband take any pills, but ever since an
accident which he met with while employed at King's Col-
lego, he had been continually complaining of pain in his
beck and bead.
Mr. Faulkner, surgeon in the Harrow-road, said that en
the evening of the 22nd Nov. prisoner came into his shop,
and asked him if a woman with a child bad lately called
with a cup in her hand, and inquired if there was any
opium in it. Witness told him no such inquiry had been
made, and he left the shop immediately. About half an
hour after Pollard the officer brought a tea-cup and basin
to him. The former contained some dregs, which he con-
sidered were composed of coarsely pounded opium, and he
was so satisfied of the fact that he did not taste them. He
again saw the prisoner on the same evening, and his wife
and the officer were in the bask-room at the time. Upon
this occasion the prisoner said that if any one had taken any
poison it must be himself, and he wished the stomach-pump
to be applied to him, to see if such was the case. There was
no appearance about the prisoner at this time to require
such a proceeding.
J. Pollard, a police-constable, deposed that he knew the
prisoner and his wife, and a short time before November he
was called in upon the occasion of a quarrel between them.
On the 22nd November the wife of the prisoner gave him a
cup and basin, and at the same time made a charge against
her husband, and witness accompanied her to the shop of
Mr. Faulkner. He afterwards took the prisoner into
custody, and told him that he charged him with attempting
to poison his wife, and he replied that if there was anything
in the tea she must have put it in herself.
W. Lee, a boy in the service of Mr. Moore, a chemist at
Paddington, said he was fourteen years and ten months old,
and he assisted in dispensing some drugs with the nature of
which he was acquainted. About • month or five weeks
ago a man, whom he could not positively speak to as being
the prisoner, came to his master's shop and asked for a
pennyworth of opium to smoke. Witness told him he could
not serve him, and the man left the shop.
Mr. C. Huyshe' lecturer on practical chemistry at St.
Thomas's Hospital, deposed that he received the cup and
basin, and analysed the contents remaining in them. They
presented to the eye and smell every appearance of powdered
opium, and the tests he applied confirmed him in that
opinion, and be added that three or four grains of opium
would be sufficient to destroy life, if no antidote were em-
ployed. In his opinion, if the opium had been put into a
cup of tea in the form of a pill, it would not have presented
the appearance he observed in the vessels shown to him.
Mr. H. Phillips, one of the clerks et the Msrylebone
Police-court, produced his minutes of the different examina-
tions of the prisoner, and the statements made by him. Upon
one occasion he said that the roof of his mouth was then sore
from the stuff his wife had given him, and, if there was any-
thing in the tee, she must have put it in herself. He also
said that, on the day in question, he had put an opium pill
into his cup of tea, and mixed it up, and drank part of it, and
threw the rest under the grate. His health, he said, re-
quired that he should take opium.
Mr. M'Murdo, surgeon to the gaol of Newgate, deposed
that he was not aware that the prisoner had taken any opium
or required the administration of such an article.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, said that
he did not buy the pills with the intention to poison his
wife, hut to take them himself for the malady under which
he was suffering.—The jury returned • verdict of NW

Guilty. ~ -
THZ FOROZRY ON THE BANK OF Rl.lllBlA.—Upon an ap-
plication made by the counsel for the defendants the trial
for the forgery upon the Imperial Bank of Rustle was post-
poned t i we next session.

NEW COURT.—Before the Recorder, Aldermen Copeland, Sir
J. ?irks sc.
BLOANY.—Thomas Phelps was indicted for feloniously
intermarrying with Harriet Wilson, his wife Elizabeth icing
alive. Evidence was given to show that the prisoner was
married in the year 1825, at a village in Gloucestershire, to
Elizabeth Bedmead, and that in August last he was mar-
ried in the false name of Thomas Tanner to Harriet Wilson,
at St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, and that at that time
his wife Elizabeth was living.—The prisoner, in his defence,
said he had lived away from his wife, and when he married
the second time he was not aware of her being alive. lie
had been a patient in St. Themes.' Hospital for a long time,
and he there became acquainted with Harriet Wilson, who
was • patient there too. This acquaintance ended in their
marriage.—Har-iet Wilson was called, and, in answer to
the court, stated that the prisoner told her he was a
widower.—The jury found the prisoner Guilly.—The court
ordered the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for nine
calendar months.
MINCONDT:CT OP POLICSMEN.—J. Bradfield and G. T.
Bradfield, brothers, were indicted for stealing three pillows,
three blsakets, and other articles, from their ready furnished
lodgings. The only clear evidence that went to inculpate
the prisoners was the fact of their absenting themselves from
their lodgings the day on which the robbery took place. The
property was not traced to their pessemion.—A policeman,
97 P, in his evidence, stated that when he apprehended the
prisoners, they behaved and talked in • manner which was
quite conclusive of their guilt. He asked them some ques-
tions, and he now informed the court of the answers they
made, which almost amounted to • confession of guilt —The
elder of the prisoners, with tears in his eyes, inked the officer

whether be had not got into conversation with him at the
pollee-court, as well as at the station-house, and by asking
questions and matins statements endeavoured to make
him say something which might be used against him 2—The
policeman denied that he had—The prisoner said he cote
speaking Wetly, and he would take his oath upon it if he
could, but he couldn't, and therefore he was at the mercy of
the policeman, who could say what he chose. He solemnly
declared that he had not made the statements deposed to by
the officer,—The Recorder, who had the policeman's ori-
ginal deposition before hint, here subjected the policeman to
a very sharp cross-examination, in the course of which he ad-
mitted having asked the prisoners a variety of ques-
tions relating to the robbery. When the prisoners denied
having had the duplicates fur the articles, the witness said,
Well, but you had the money, had not you ? "—The Re-
corder, with considerable warmth, said this conduct of the
policeman's was not only irregular, hat shameful. Police-
men were not to torture prisoners into nuking statements to
be used against them on their trial ; and in doing se, they
did that which even msgistrates were precluded from doing.
It was a gross violation of duty. The Recorder, in sum-
ming up, said he would not go the length of saying that he
believed the officer was not speaking the truth, but be must
say that he had far exceeded the limits of his duty. He (the
Recorder) would, however, recommend the jury to receive
with extreme elution the version given by the officer
of what pissed between bin and the prisoners, when
there was no other person present. —The jury, after a slight
consultation, acquitted the prisoners.—The Recorder ordered
that the policeman should receive no expense'.
The mother of the two above.narned prisoners was then
tried and convicted upon a charge of stealing a watch from
her furnished lodgings.—The same officer was in this case,
and when it was over he eked his lordship if he was to be
allowed his expenses in this latter prosecution 2—The Re-
corder answered in the affirmative.—The policeman then
hoped his lordship would withdraw the remarks he had made
upon his conduct, or he would lose his situation.—The
Recorder would do nothing of the kind, but said the officer
need not fear that he would lose his situation.
In the next caw police-constable 47 K was ordered by the
court to be reported to the commissioners, for having inter-
posed unnecessarily to prevent a lady giving an acquitted
prisoner some clothing, which she had consented to do
through the recommendation of the court, and for detaining
at the police-station some property taken from the same
prisoner.

CHELMSFORD QUARTER SESSIONS.
EXTRAORDINARY CAFE OF SHOPLIFTING MY A LADY.-
Ann Mullocks, 33, residing with her parents, a few miles
from Chelmsford, appeared in the felons' dock to an indict-
ment charging her with stealing 58 yards of silk, and a fur
vietorine, the property of Mr. W. Hawn, draper, of Chelms-
ford. There were two other indictments against her for
purloining property from tradamen's shops in the town
The prisoner was allowed a chair, and throughout the whole
proceedings seemed unconscious of what was going on.—
Mr. Rodwell prosecuted, and Mr. Ryland, the city pleoder,
defended.
The evidence went to show that on Wednesday
.the 15th
ult., about twelve at noon, the prisoner went into Mr.
Hawn' shop, and requested to be shown a victorine, muff,
and cuffs. He showed her a number of victerines, and pro-
ceeded to the back of his premises to procure a muff. On
his return, she declined then to take a victorine, but pur-
chased a muff and pair of cuffs, which she paid for. She,
however, requested that a victorine, and other things she had
selected, might be kept for her until Friday, when she
would send the money for them, at the same time giving her
name " Leslie." In a few minutes the prosecutor missed
a vietorine, and went out in pursuit of her, and traced
her to the King's Head Inn, where she was stay-
ing. Having met her there, he charged her with steal-
ing his property. The missing. victorine he found in
her bedroom, on the bed, tied up in a handkerchief ; he also
found the silk in question, which he immediately identified
as his own, and which he was not aware had been carried
away front his shop, until he had discovered it there. Rib-
bons and hoots belonging to Mr. Cheveley and Mr. Bennett
were also found in the apartment. On being told that she
mast have taken the goods, she replied that she had not;
that she knew nothing about them, and that somebody must
have placed them there. The police were then sought, and
she was given into custody. The landlady and waitress of
the public home spoke to the fact of the prisoner having
come to their hoops on the forenoon of the day mentioned io
the indictment, between 10 ant/111, andlheing shown to the
bedroom ; that she went out in the course of ten minutes, and
asked the female attendant to take in any parcels that might
come for her. She returned in the course of half-an-hour,
and went into the room. These persons stated that no other
person was allowed access to the apartment, but it did ap-
pear that three females were up stairs, but were accom-
panied by the servant. The prosecutor stated that the silk
was on the counter near the door whilst the prisoner was in
the shop. She remained about ten minutes or a quarter of
an hour. The two other indictments set forth that she en-
tered Mr. Cheveley's shop about half-put twelve on the
Wednesday, and purloined twenty yards of ribbon, of the
value of 175., and from the shop of Mr. Dennell a mile of
boots, not of her sine however. It may be mentioned that
she purchased goods of these tradesmen.
Mr. Ryland having made a forcible appeal to the jury on
behalf of the prisoner, called her mother and brother and
other persons who had known her from a very early age, and
who spoke of her mind being deranged about 16 yule ego, the
result of an affection of a finger. She consulted Sir Aetley
Cooper. Within the last two months her mind had been
noticed disordered. She would dress strangely, wear her
clothes sometimes over her head lest the ends should be
dirtied, and had been refused a knife and fork at meals. A
day or so prior to visiting Chelmsford on the occasion of the
robbery her manners were more remarkable ; she had been
attending a sick mother and the fatigue had apparently ex-
cited her. The brother was satisfied that when she came to
Chelmsford her state of mind prevented her knowing right
from wrong. Since then she had been dangerously ill, and
her mind more affected.
Mr. Gill, a surgeon, who had professionally attended the
mother of the accused, said that her mind was deranged.
Dr. Baddeley of Chelmsford stated that he had been visit-
ing
physician to two lunatic asylums in the county for 21
years. He had seen the prisoner that morning and en pre-
vious occasions, and from her present state of mind and from
the evidence he had heard, he was of opinion that she was
not in a sound state of mind, and probably was not on the
15th ult. If he was called upon to certify her admission into
a lunatic asylum, he would do so.
Mr. Bennett, a tradesman in the town, who had preferred
an indictment against the prisoner for stealing a pair of *hoes,
said that when she came into hie house, her conversation was
very remarkable, and at the time and before he missed his
shoes be considered her of weak intellect.
Mr. Rodwell having replied, the Chairman proceeded to
sum up, and the jury retired for about half-an-hour and
then returned a verdict of Guilty.—Tho other two indict-
ments were withdrawn.
The Chairman, after consulting his brother magistrates,
sentenced the prisontr to sit months' imprisonment, with
such hard larbour as she could undergo ; the court took
into consideration the suffering she had endured, but it was
his duty to tell her that if the other indictment had been per-
severed in, a sentence of transportation might have followed.
—She was removed in almost a perfect state of stupor.

POLICE.— YESTERDAY.
MANSION HOUSB.—ALLISCIED FOROERT.—.I. Byron
was charged with forgery .—Mr. H. Barrow, clerk to Messrs.
Roberts and Co. of Lombardatreet, bankers, stated that on
the 11th of September, Mr. Willis, of Old Broad street, kept
an account at their house, and on that day the cheque pro-
duced for 911. 10s., purporting to be drawn by H. Willis,
was presented for payment, but by whom the witness did
not know. Witness paid the cheque.—Mr. Willis stated
that he kept an account at Mean. Roberta and Co.'s. The
body of the cheque produced was in the handwriting of
the prisoner. The signature to it was in a feigned
hand, but he believed it to be the writing of the
prisoner. The prisoner had been employed as clerk
in witness's office, but had been absent from the
office on the plea of illness, and during that absence the
forged cheque hod been presented. Witness had given no
authority to him to draw it —The prisoner bad been appre-
hended in consequence of notice given by Messrs. Bush and
Mullen, the solicitors to the committee of bankers for pro-
tection against felonies and frauds, by telegraph to parties at
Newcastle. He had joined a company of strolling players,
and was playing in the name of Morgan, in the comedy of
" Much Ado about Nothing," when the information that
he was to be seized arrived.—He was remanded.
CHARITY.—The Lord Mayer acknowledged the receipt of
51. from Mr. Jones Loyd, and 61. from " (C.)," for the
poor-box.
GUILDHALL.—HEARTLESS ROBBERIEB.—Ann Butler
was charged with committing several depredations. A
number of cases were brought against her by which it ap-
peered that she had been in the habit for some time past of
presenting herself to various females and exciting their com-
passion so as to induce them to employ her, and, in some
instancem, to give her lodgings in their dwellings, in return
for which she watched her opportunity, and during her be-
nefactresses' absence decamped with a quantity of elkithing,
which she pledged, and then began her siperations afresh.
The several pawnbrokers produced the property, which was
identified by the owners.—Sir Chapman Marshall said the
prisoner's conduct was heartless in the extreme, but in con-
sideration of her situation, being sear her confinement, he
should only send her to Bridewell for 14 days. The pawn-
brokers, as a matter of course, would give up the property.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Atteorn ROBBERY.—J.CastIe,
described as an unemployed pawnbroker's assistant, was
charged with having stolen a number of gold wedding rings
from the shop of Mr. Weathentone, a pawnbroker.—J. Jones,
shopman to the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner, who had
frequently pledged articles at the shop, called on Tuesday
evening and offered a ring in pledge ; while it was being
tested, the prisoner stood with his back to the window, the
frames of which shifted upon rollers, and while the witness
was engaged in serving 'nether customer he distinctly heard
one of the frames move. The prisoner in a short time left
the shop, and it was discovered that ten or twelve gold rings
had been abstracted from a card in that part of the window
where he had been standing, and which the witness had
seen safe only a few minutes previous to the prisoner's
entrance.—C. Mansfield, another shopman, corroborated the
last witness's evidence, and added that the prisoner had
previously made some observation respecting the inner
window frame, and the working of its movement, No
other person but the prisoner had been near that part
of the window from which the rings had been abstracted.—
Sergeant Temple stated that he proceeded to the prisoner's
house and saw his wife, who assured him that her husband
would be at a house in Brown's-lane on the following day,
where he accordingly found him, and upon mentioning the
charge against him he declared it to be without foundation.
Re searched the prisoner's house and there for nd 62 du-
plicates relating to various articles, a portion ot vhich he
had reason to believe was the produce of other robu ries.—

Mr. Pigee, a pawnbroker, deposed that the prisoner had
been formerly in his service, but was discharged about three
months since. Witness had examined some articles of wear-
ing apparel referred to in the duplicates produced by the ,
sergeent, and from which the private marks had been et:
faced, and they exactly corresponded with similar articles
which he had missed from hie stock since the prisoner had
left his service.—The prisoner, who made an earnest denial
of the charge, was remanded for a week, bail being taken.
CHARITY.—The magistrate acknowledged the receipt of a
letter from Sir W. Call and Co., the bankers, enclosing the
half of a 51. note for the poor-box from " E. P."
- - •

CLERRENWELL.—SetraeOII MEAT.—M. Andreae.,
a countryman, was charged by a City policeman under the
following circumstances. At an early hour in the morning
the prisoner was obeerved near Smithfield with a horse and
cart, the latter containing two dead cows and a horse, from
which the most offensive effluvium proceeded. The police-
man, suspecting that they were meant for sausage meat, fol-
lowed the prisoner until be arrived at the premises of Mr.
Lansdowne, a sausage merchant, of Shar's-alley, Cow-
cross, where he backed the cart in, but Mr. Lansdowne told
the party that it wax a mistake, and the carcases were not
meant for him. The officer, knowing that the dead carcases
were not fit for human diet, questioned the prisoner, who
hesitated, and gave such an unsatisfactory account of his
possession of the animals that he took him and the property
to the statioa-house.—Mr. J. Atcheler said he was
hone slaughterer to her Majesty and the royal
family, and resided in Sharpe's-square, Cow-cross,
Smithfield. He had no knowledge of the prisoner,
and was satisfied that the carcases were consigned to his
establishment. His neighbour Mr. Landowne wu a re-
spectable man, and did not make the common sausages, but
only thou that were fit for the west end of the town.—Mr.
J. Knight, veterinary surgeon of St. Andrew'a-hill, Doc-
, tors' commons, deposed that the animals were not fit for
human food. They had died from disease, and had under-
{me medical treatment.. Could not say whether they would
Ss dangerous to the health if they were eaten as human
food, but any person of experience mint know that they
were not fit fur human food. Could cot say whether they
wade sausages of such carcases.—Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he
muld not punish the prisoner, who was the instrument of
lOW one who cared little shout the health of the public ea
long as he could make money. The prisoner said he was
employed to bring the caresses to London by Mr. Henry
Parish, of Bishop's Stortford.—Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must
discharge the prisoner, but it was a matter of great import-
s's*. et this period, when disease was caused through neu-
roses smells and vapors, that such proceedings ought to be
eareoilly watched.
CHAILITY.— The magistrate acknowledged the receipt,
through Sir W. Call, Martin, and Co., of half of a 61.
bete for the poor-box, from " E. P."
MARYLEBONE.—Mr. Long acknowledged the receipt
of 51. from Sir Richard Sutton, Bart.
WESTMINSTER.—FATAL ACCIDENT.—J. Wing, scar-
Isan,wu charged with having driven against • child, and frac-
tured its jaw-bone,which injury caused its death. It was clear
from the evidence of the witnesses that the aflair was purely
aeciderital. The prisoner was walking his horse, which was
drawing a cart, near Geergextreet, Chelsea, when the child
suddenly ran screw the road, and was struck with the
horse's hoof. It was conveyed to St. George's Hospital in
great agony, and died in the course of an hour or two. A
female who witnessed the accident said that not the least
blame was attached to the accused, who immediately stopped
his base.—Mr. Burrell discharged the accused.
SOUTHWARK.—LEAVING A CELLAR FLAP OPEN.—
F. Randall, the landlord of the Old Grapes, in Bermondsey-
street, was summoned for leaving his cellar-flap open, by
which an accident happened to an old men, named Hall.—
The complainant stated that at seven o'clock in the evening,
as he was walking along Bermondsey-street, owing to the
cellar-flap of the defendant's house being open, he fell into
it, and seriously injured his legs, and broke his watch and
hat, lie (lid not at first feel much hurt, but afterwards be-
came bad. When he recovered, he west to the defendant
and expressed a wish to receive compensation, which wax
refused, and the defendant told him he wished he had broken
his neck.—The defendant said he was hieing some casks
placed in the cellar, the flap of which was only just taken off,
when the complainant fell in ; that instead of complainant
sustaining injury, he fell loco the arms of one of the dray-
men, who broke the fall, and at the time complaisant dis-
tinctly said he was not hurt, in answer to the
inquiries, and he went away. In a few days he returned,
and wanted to extort money from him by saying his legs
were injured, and his watch and hat were broken by the fall.
—ln reply to Mr. Seeker, the complainant admitted that he
had no certificate, and he had not brought his watch or hat
to the court.—The defendant called one of the draymen to
prove the complainant fell into his arms in the cellar.—Mr.
Seeker said the complainant's case, as related to the alleged
injuries received, was not sustained; but the defendant, by
leaving open his cellar-flap without being properly guarded,
in a crowded neighbourhood like berniondney-street, had
acted with great incaution, and for which offence he should
inflict a penalty of 20s. and amts.
Liosr BREAD.—T. Wilkins, a baker in Lambeth, was
summoned on an information for selling bread without first
weighing it.—lt was proved that two half-quartern loaves
were purchased at the defendant's shop without being
weighed, and that when that process was afterwards adopted
by the buyer, the loaves were found to be deficient in weight
2) ounces.—The defendant said the dough was weighed be- ,
fore it was put into the oven, and that he was not aware that
bakers were compelled to weigh it afterwards unless it was
required to be done by the purchaser. In this instance the 61,
buyer made no request of the kind, or it would have been si
done.—Mr. Seeker perused the act with reference to the et
alleged offence, and said he found it was limited to two to
years, which had already expired, Besides, as the buyer had ;
not expressed a desire to see the loaves weighed, the defend- es
ant did not come within the operation of the law, and, Ii
therefore, the information must be dismissed.—Dismissed F
accordingly.
WORE/1011E RIOTS.—Five young women, inmates of St. I
George's workhouse, were charged with insubordination,
and breaking upwards of 40 panes of glass in one of the
wards. That morning the defendants caused an uproar in
the ward, and when one of the officers went to request they ,
world desist, they became more uproarious, used the moat
filt...y and disgusting language, and commenced smashing
the windows, and broke upwards of 40 panes.—The chair-
man of the board of guardians said, as the magistrate might
perceive, the defendants were all strong and healthy young
women, and could earn their bread by industry if they
pleased. That situations bad been provided for them on
several occasions, but they remained in none owing to their
bad conduct, and always came back to the workhouse.—The
defendants, one and all, began to exclaim against the treat-
ment they experienced in the workhouse, but were silent
when told they were not compelled to remain there, but to
go out and earn an honest livelihood.—Mr. Seeker sentenced
them to pay for the damage they bad done, and in default
committed them for two months to the House of Correction.
THAMES.—THE LATE CHAROE OF CON6PIRACY.—Mr.
H. I. Gray, who, a few days since, summoned Mr. Duke to
show cause why be detained a quantity of rope, the produce
of the late swindling case in the City, and for which Mr.
Duke had not paid, attended and informed the magistrate
that, in accordance with his recommendation, he had again
applied to Mr. Duke for the property, and had again met
with a refusal.—The magistrate was sorry he could do
nothing in the matter.—[Several mercantile gentlemen, who
accompanied Mr. Gray, said the conspirators obtained goods
to the amount of 30,0001. by fraudulent means before they
were detected ; and theta respectable Scottish firm was cheated
of one consignment of goods to the amount of 1,1711. by
them.]
HAMMERSMITH.—Liout BREAD.—Mr. S. Bandy,
baker, No. 6, Chapel-place, Brompton, was summoned for
having assaulted Mrs. Mary Clark, who deposed that she
bought a loaf of bread at the shop of the defendant, and
having shortly before found one that she had bought there
to be lieht, she weighed it and found it three ounces defi-
cient. She returned to the defendant's shop, and put it into
his scales and found that it then appeared to be full weight.
Witness then asked for the defendant, and told him of the
deception he was playing, when defendant said, " It's a lie,
it's not three ounces short." On examining the scales, which
were at the further end of the shop, witness found an ounce
weight sunk in the bottom of the scale, surrounded by a
quantity of combs, which she took out and showed the de
fendant, who violently pushed her away and struck her
breast.—By Mr. Beadon : Witness had heard that others had
found the defendant's bread deficient in weight. One man
found it aix ounces short.—The defendant, who denied the
charge, said that everything that had been alleged against
him was estirely false. He was innocent of having
given false weight, and of having in any way assaulted the
complainant. He had not served her himself, and, therefore,
was not answerable about its being weight or not. The scale
had been out of order, and he had been in the habit of regn-
latinpr it with a weight.—Mr. Beedon hoped the case would
obtain the notice of the inspector of weights and measures.
For the assault he should fine the defendant 31. and costs, or
• month's imprisonment.—The defendant was for to time
locked up, but eventaally paid the fine and costa.

MONEY MARKET.

TIHURSDATEVENING.

The revenue returns for the quarter and the year,
showing a deficit of less than 11 million of pounds,
took the stock market by an agreeable surprise, for
opinipn had dogmatically fixed for some time past the
falling off at 2i millions as the least. The consequence
was an advance in the funds equal to 1 per cent. on
Consols. Yesterday they were quoted 851 for
the opening; to-day they were done at 861, and left
off 881 to 1. For immediate transfer, deliveries of
stock were effected up to 851 ex dividend. Reduced
Threes, 854 to 6. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
861 to 7. Exchequer Bills 178. to 20s. premium.
India Bonds ss. to 10s. premium. Long Annuities
8 11-16 to 1., Bank Stock, 188 to 9. India Stock,,
227 to 9.
Foreign stocks, from the improvement in the home
funds, attracted more attention, and in the non-divi-
dend paying Spanish, some speculation was still
afloat. The Fives were last quoted in advance at 20
to 1, which, a few weeks since, were at 171; the
Threes, 291 to 30; Passive, 41 to 1; Portuguese, 24
to 5. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 541 to 1 ;
the Fours, 83 to 1 ; Mexican, 171 to 18; Brazilian,
79 to 81.
A morning paper, quoting from Halifax letters, re-
ports the failure of Mr. Josh. Cunard, a timber mer-
chant of Miramichi. The name and the event have
been confounded in the City with Mr. S. Cunard, the
proprietor of and contractor for the steam postal com-
munication between this country, the United States,
and British America. With the exception of the re-

lationship, the parties being brothers, we learn that
there is no connexion of business or otherwise be-
tween the two.
From Shaftesbury, in reference to the failure of the
bank there of Messrs. King and Co., it is stated that
Mr. King, who had been absent a few weeks from the
locality, had found it impossible to carry out the ar-
rangement proposed by himself of 20s. in the pound
within the period first named. The state of the
money market, as said, and may readily be credited,
did not permit him to realise the securities he had to
offer as he had fully reckoned upon. lie had, how-
ever, paid a first instalment of five shillings in the
pound, and obtained an extension of time foe the re-
mainder.
From Salisbury it is stated that 90,7071. had been
proved against the estate of Messrs. Brodie, the
bankers, and that about 50,0001. more remained to
be proved, exclusive of a disputed debt of the Hon.
P. Bouverie, brother of the Earl of Radnor. The
hopes of a large dividend upon the estate were not at
all sanguine. For the Salisbury Weekly Journal, the
property of the bank, which has been in existence
more than a century, with the plant, type, premises,
&c., an offer had been mode of 15,0001.
We learn from a respectable seuroe that the govern-
ment of Baden hes consented to advance one and a
half millions of guilders (about 120,0001.) to the
house of Von Haber and Co., for the purpose of
carrying on their large cotton-spinning and manufac-
turing works, subject to the approbation of the
chambers, to which effect a bill is to be brought in,
and is expected to be passed without opposition.

HOLLAND —Haourt, Jag. s.—The Bank of the Nether-
lands has reduced the course of exchange 1 per cent., that is
to say, from 6to 5 for loan on the security of goods, and
from 51 to 41 on public property ; the discount front 5
to 4 per cent., and the premiums from 6 toy per cent. This
measure has not produced the favourable influence that was
expected on the Bourse at Amsterdam. In almoet all the
Dutch funds the sales have been effected on account of Ger-
man houses, which has rendered the general aspect of the
market rather feeble. The foreign funds have been rather

EET I NOS.—NORTH/J(l.l'ON AND BANBURY.—First
ordinary Meeting.—London, Jan. 6.—Mr. B. H. Barwell in
the chair.—The report of the director', read by the secretary,
commenced by announcing the success of the application to
parliament for the act of incorporation, and the conviction of
the directors that the undertaking was calculated to provide
adequate railway accommodation to the locality, and at the
same time to remunerate the shareholders. One part of the
line had been granted to this company in common with the
Buckinghamshire Company, with whom in making the ne-
cessary arrangements no difficulty was anticipated. Instruc-
tions had been given to the engineer to procekd to lay out
the line. It was propoeed to take advantage of the act
of the present session, and to make application to the
Railway Commissioners for an extension of the time fbe the
purchase of land and the construction of the works. A state-
ment of the receipts and expenditure was appended; the
former being 32,0671. la. 4d. ; and the latter, which included
• payment of 1,5001. on account of parliamentary expenses,
2,0011.185. 6d.; leaving a balance in hand of 30,0655.25. lid.
The reoort was adopted unanimously. The following gen-
tlemen were then elected directors :—Merin. R. D. Mangles,
M.P.; C. P. Villiers. M.P., F. S. Head, T. Smith, R. Ben-
son, E. Cropper, C. R. Mooreon, Edmund Peel, E. H. Bar-
well, W. G. Thompson, T. R. Cobb, and H. Newcombe;
Messrs. E. Cobb and H. B. Whitworth were elected auditors.
—The Chairman in doting the proceedings congratulated
the shareholders on their having obtained their act at an
expense comparatively inconsiderable. The present times, as
they. were aware, were not very auspicious, but it would be
gratifying to know that though this company had not as yet
produced much, its expenditure had been but trifling, and
that in fact they had received more for interest than they
had paid for expenses.
