Ciersea), where the informaaes took place, was eriwd,d
the &adman showed every sign of uabosaded delight. This

been for a (*raid rabid time past seriously out of health,
and, though somewhat better. it was lly understood
at Ras that the smart was given against the advice of her
medieval attendant. She sang very charusierly, and crewed

CHARON OF DEFRAUDINO THE BRIGHTON AND
Boors COAST RAILWAY COKlPAWY.—Yestirday Henry
Leek., Charles Cheeseasa, sad Stephen Spiegel' were I
charged at the Brighton polies court with defrauding the
Brighton and South Coast Railway Company. It appeared
from the stati meat of Mr. H. Faithfull, solicito:, who son-
fleeted the prosecadow, sad the evidence ol Mr. Frederick
Slight, the aceoustint to the company, that the hand wee
ellacted la the &Inas' maser Leaks was a clerk at the
Iseedis tirmdass, where he had the custody of the nano,
awl it was also pert of his duty to deliver tickets to masa-
pee. The tickets are asubered consecutively from i.e to
a Shunned and so ea, and sapposiag any ticket were dis-
sented unapt those collate 1 from passengers which biro
• tether beyond the total quantity issued for the day, that
would muse suspicion and inquiry. Oa &today Mr. Wee-
thestead, the station master at the Landau terminus,
having had his suspicious excited, examined the stock
of tickets, sad discovered that from thirty to forty bossing
bawd numbers were sada. He mentioned this het on
Monday mensing to Hr. Slight, who then examined the
tickets himself, sad the tickets bearing the leeward samara
skirt' were missed the day before Were in their plaissu hat
es looking at tun tickets minutely he perceived that they
had be. a duo d, which was only done when they were issued
to passengers, but that the date had been erased, not aufli•
neatly so, however, to escape detection. Leeks, on being
asked to account for this, at once confessed that he had issued
the forward numbers which bad beencollected by Chessman,
the chief collector at the Brighton terminus, and by him
tramenitted through Springers, who was one of the guards,
bask rigida to him (Leeks), and he then placed then in their
order and mimed than in the ordinary course of traffic.
Then being no other evidence against Chessman and
liprienta than this confession of Leeks, Mr. Housman ob-
jected-that it eoald not be received against them. Tae bench
concurred, and they were discharied, but Leaks was re-
manded actil Friday.

ted much firmness acd improved fully at the close.

to 1, and gradually became better, arising at 928 to 1
both far money and the 11,h inst. The Three per Cents.
Rama unproved from 921 to 921, the last price.
The Tbrawand-a-Charter per Cents. advanced from

425. premium. Long Annuities were done at 8 1316
and Batik Stock at 200 and 199. South Bea New
Assaitits were done at 90.

The dealinp in the foreign stocks were most un-
Importaut, and nothing transpired worthy of notice,

Advice, from Riga to the 27th August state that a
good deal of business had been done in hemp, at
market prices, which continued firm. The advance
which took place in the beginning of the week in

flu was not 'maintained, and the mice foe /juienbarg
had receded to R. 26i to 27i. A good deal of
bssi-
nese had been done in *ite flax for English
acconst at R. 29. Fine qulity linseed remained
firm at R. 151 to 16; the lower deseriptiona had
drooped. Hemp seed was quite neglected, and
might be had on lower terms. In grain
there was very little doing. Oats could be had at
1 ls. 9d. per quarter free on bird. 1,067 vessels had
arrived, and 961 Imola baksailed this year. Freight
was abandant, but the scarcity of tonnage was a
great drawback to operations in the leading staples.
The rates of height to Loudon and the east coast
were 375. 6d. to 40s. for hemp and flax, and 3a. 9d.
per quarter for crashing seed; 3s. 3d. for cats Ex-
change on London, 371 d. for S months. The clear-
ances up loth. 22nd August were : flax, 32,300 tau;
hemp, 10,330 toes; crushing seed, 158,000 qrs.;
hemp seed, 7,000 qrs. ; barley, 73,000 qrs. ; rye,
23.000 qrs..; oats, 6
The advice' fromArchangel,rc of the 18th August,
°Main nothing new as re4ard• markets. The stock
of Linseed was reduced to 6,000 qrs., the greater
part of inferior quality, fur which high rates were
asked. Ships were scarce, and tonnage was much
wanted.

At Btettis, on the 29th, several charters were re-
ported to England, at 2s. to 2s. Gd. for wheat, per qr.;
to Loudon, 101. for 1,000 oak staves ; 121. to 13s. Gd.
per ton sine.
Montreal adv!ces of the 20th August state that a
fair amount of business bad been done during the
week preceding the departure of the mail. Flour was
improving in price. Early in the week superfine sold
at 21s. to 21s. 3d.; but subsequently good brands
were in demand at 21s. 6d., and in some instances •
shade higher had been paid; extra superfine was
asked for at 21s. 9d. to 225. Of wheat
there was little in the market: for good Upper
Canada mixed 4s. 9d. per 60 lbs. was offered.
For oatmeal 17s. was offered and refused.
There bad been a very active demand for
both sorts of ashes. Pots and pearls had bsth ad-
vanced, and were in demand, the former at 30s. 6d. to
30s. 9d., end the latter at 30s. 9d. Exchange was
dull, at the following quotations, viz.: Bank, 60 dap,
on London. 101 per cent. prom.; private, 60 days, on
London, 91 to 91 per cent. prem. ; ditto, 90 days, 81
to 91 per cent prem. As regards freights, there had
been no vessels up for London. To Liverpool, the
rate for flour was steady, at 3s. 101 d. per barrel; and
for ashes as high as 325. Gd. had been paid. To
Glasgow, engagements had been made at 4s. for
flour.

The total receipts of produce at:Montreal, uks to
the 17th August, this year, were u follows, viz. :
Ashes, 17,179 barrels, against 13,459 barrels at the
corresponding period of last year; flour, 345,061 bar-
rel., against 319,241 last year; wheat, 158,984

oats, 2,000 bushels, against none last year; leans, 30

As regards the markets in this country for Cana-
dian produce, a Liverpool contempotary I.ublishes
the following :
A further advance has taken place in aches this week.
Montreal pots nil at 40e.; and pearl. 36.. The demand has
bees good all the week ; stocks are mash reduced and held
in few bands. There is a great falling of in the import of
timber, but, with the exception of St. Jahn's pine, there ap-
pears sufficient to meet the limited demand for consumption.
All Quebec woods are lower, yet there is no fear of any further
decline; on the contrary, with the prospect of an abundant
harvest and general prosperity of the country, and also with
the fact before us that importers are not facing their car-
goes, en advance may be expected on the next arrivals, to
men the enhanced prices in th, colonies, and a'so the higher
freights and incresird rate of insurance. Imports pieme Ist
February from Nnrth America-: 155 vessels, containing
77,652 tons of timber and deal,, against 160 vessels, with
85,148 tone, in the eorreeponding period of last year. From
the north of Europe, 28 vends. cuntaini.l 6,788 tons,
ageism 48 vessels last year, with 15,467 tons. The sweep
import to corresponding period of the pr<sions four years
was 18,773 tons. The market is well supplied with staves
and deals, sad, although the imports from the Baltic are en
so limited a scale, the demand is quits of a retail description.
Thera are no winds of pitch pine this week.

The official returns pnblithed by the United States
treasury of the revenue and exper.diture for the
twelve months ending the 30th of June, 1849, are
the following : Receipts, Customs, 28,350,754;
Linde, 1,833,749; Miscellaneous, 3,280,219; making
a total of 33,214,722 dollar', the expenditure is
thus clamed : Civil, 10,518,770; War, 17,868,529 ;
Navy, 9,792,495; intone, 3,601,940; making a
total of 41,784,834 dollars. The excess of expendi-
ture over revenue is 8,520,112 dollars, to which should
be added the indemnity paid during the last quarter
to Mexico. The deficiency would then be 12,020,112
dollars. The total amount paid to Mexico is
9,677,234 dollars, which would reduce the actual
deficiency for government purposes in the revenue for
the year to 2,342,878 dollars.
The total export of Specie from New York from
cf January to the 21st of August was 1,598,544
dollars. The coinage of the Unit. d States Mint at
Philadelphia during the mouth of July was to the
value of 1,128 690 dollars, of which 1,098,690 was in
gold, and 26 000 in silver.

In 1847 the sesemments amounted to 333 688 dole. 97c.,
and the collections to 271,108 dole. ; and in 1848 the mem-
men*e amounted to 482,610 doll , and the collections to
414,176 doh. In 1848 all the sought, a made warns bet
Dole, Monroe, and Washington. In 1847 the assessments in
theme counties amounted to little more than 8,000 dole. In
addition to the above debt, the State owes bonds to the
amount of 600,000 doh., invested in the capital of the Mobile
Bank. The bask has, thus far, paid the interest on time
bonds, and has now against the State 90,000 dole. for latent*
paid on them. The above tables show the oaths indebtedsess
for which the State is required to provide moonset payment.
The Bond Debt is aot so'lartre as the foregoing table shows
it to be. That table is taken from the latest official report,
but sines it wee prepared, the Ba,l Commissioner hae, no
doubt, reduced the debt by the purehaise of bonds. What
the amount of re Judea is we have nemeses of mortalities.
The cost of collecting the tams in 1847 was 12,336 dole„.
the east in 1848 (the masa per onstage being allowed as in
1847), will mash 20,000 dole. This 11•1011Ilt will be largely
Jammed by the provision of the law which requires the
(*mattes to Mee not more than ten nor lees than three dis-
trict sesame's. This provision will increase the coat of
assming to the rounds fully 28,000 dole. It cannot be lean
than this, and may be more, main" 48,000 dole. for maes-
tri and eolleettng a revenue of 482,610 dole. 49 c. In classi-
fying the mete belonging to the stet?, it appears by the last
review to the legislature. that the good darts doe to the
Mika amounted to 2,000,000 d 01.., whisk, at eight per coat.,
gives an annual interest of 160,000 dell. Up to the 13th of
January, 1849, there had been collected of the good, bar
doubtful, and unknown debts of the banks, 931,741 dole. 84e.,
which amoaat has been, without doubt, converted into men-
titles for the parch.% or state bonds.
At San Francisco the American tariff of 1846 is in
foree, and foreign vessels pay tonnage dues at the rate
of one dollar per ton register. All foreign vessels
under the barthen of 70 tons are allowed to engage
in the wasting trade, end to run in the rivers which
lead to the grid regions. Foreign vessels can procure
a license from the Custom-house to enter any of the
rivers, but in that caw they are Lot permitted to re-
turn to San Francisco.

From Valparaiso the accounts to the end of Jane
report business, especially for imp-irta, u being in a
very lar guid etat•, and although there bad been some
activity in freights to California, for seals and wheat,
the demand for vessels still continued, and business
