and be answered about 1,600 ounces, unsigned to different
parties. lie had, until this occasion, no reason to suspect
the prisoner's honesty.—Mr. Samuel Shaw, clerk to Muses.
Brown and Winsbrowe, gold refiners, proved that that firm
reoeived an authoriti insin Mr. King of Bristol to receive
477 ounces of gold "dust from Capt. Thompson, as also 20
doubloons and 170 dollars, to melt and refiee. The firm
skiad
received no such package.—Mr. John Milner, cle to
Messrs. Foster and Smith, New City Chambers, Bishops-
gate, proved that three boxes of gold dust, con-
taining the several quantities of 275 had 162 ounces, and
112 ounces, consigned to them, had noes come to hand.—
Peter Rowe, the first mate, wu next sworn, and saal he went
out with the prisoner in the schooner Metiers, ia October
last. He saw a box, which he supposed contained gold,
eau on board at Anna Mabee, addressed to Messrs. King.
About ten days after leaving the Gold a
tCoat, the prieoner be-
came ill, and took to his hed. He was ill wenty-five days,
from the 25th of Januery to the 18th of February. About
twelve days after he was taken ill he was called from his
berth by the second mate dt about half-
past
berth eleven o'clockid, at
night. He saw the captain lying in has , aad he sa

soner said " What do you wan,: ?" told
had been on deck,, and be said, " Yes, I threw away
the gold, and they want to kill MS for it." Witness
then left him, and did not have anv conversation
with him until about twelve days after, when he
called witness into his cabin, and gave him a small key, with
which he told him to open the locker in the state-room, and
satisfy himself what mischief he had done. He opened the
locker, saw some loose articles, and then asked him what
re
the was there, and he replied, " Seven boxes
after a
of gold
dust." Witness told him they were all gone • and
few minutes the prisoner asked witness to tell' him how it
' was, and whose fault it was on deck, and whnt him He
o was at the
helm, and how it was they did nothing to preve ?
said he supposed they were afraid of bun. Witness told
the prisoner he had better ask Renner, the second mate,
about it. On the 4th of February trauma made the follow-
ing entry in the log-book, from facts stated to him by the
second mate :
Imareer.—fhb Is to certify that about balf-post 11, p m., on
Thursday, the 3rd of February, Captain Thompson, whilst in a state
of delirium, came on deck with a box, supposed ta contain the freight
otold, and before it could be prevented to the side of the ship and
dropped it overboard, esti-inking " There, you shan't have that; you
may kill me now," and tn returned into the cabin.

others of the ship's company, went Into the cabin to try discover
what box it was; that the captain, in answer to, bill ulnas sold
that It was the gold, and that he ;the mate)4 then locked everything
up and took sway the key.—aledora, Feb. , 1818.—(Stgnedl (;1.011.(11.

Witness did not know why the weasel did not proceed
direct to London. The wind shifted much, the sails wanted
repairing, and the crew required rest. The first place they
stopped at was the hlotherbank, and cast anchor at about 5
o'clock is the evening. The prisoner left the ship about
noon the next day; he went ashore in a large curt r belong- I
ins to the agents to Lloyd's; the prisoner said he was going
4
to London. He left the vessel in charge of Robert New-
man, the pilot, and told witness that when he had brought I
the vessel to Gravesend he or Captain Tindal woulot d meet I
him. He cave witness fifty dollars to pay the pil, and
took away a trunk and portmanteau. The trunk end port- I
manteau were heavy, but not out of the way. The ships I
letters were sent together, with one from the prisoner to
Messrs. Hutton. lie hail subsequently found a number of .
bags in the prisoner's cabin similar to those produced, as
also some canvas and thread.—The second mate and one of
1 the seamen corroborated this evidence.—Mr. Emanuel,
1 who was sworn on the Old Testament, said 1 am •
bullion merchant in Portsmouth. The prisoner. who was '
I previously a stranger, came to me about 10 minutes after 2
o'clock, on Thursday, the 2nd inst. He asked me what we
rave for doubloons and dollars, and I said GU for Spanish
doubloons, and 625. 64. for Mexican, and for dollars I gave '
4s. id. He naked me what I gave for gold dust, and he
produced some from • bag. He said he had been recom
mended to me by Messrs. Garradd and Gibbons, the
agents to Lloyd's. I asked him how•mu
aid ch he
he wanted
had
an ounce for the gold; and he s
got at Hymn's, on Cornhill, and at another refine[ s, '
67e. or 68s. I said, it is not worth more to us than his. per
ounce, and he agreed to the price. lie then produced 'J
Spanish doubloons and a Mexican one, and two quarter
doubloons. 1 weighed the gold deed ; it was 29 eel,. I()dwts.,
and I gave him altogether for it and the doubloons 1251.
7s. I paid him with a 501. cheque on the National Provincial
Beek, and the remainder in cash and notes. Before I
bought the gold I put some questions to him, and he said
he came from Zanzibar by the ship Persian, which I knew
to be then in the port, and I concluded that the prisoner was
• merchant, just arrived. lie had not the least appearance
of a sailor. Ile said, before he left me, that ho would bring
up some dollars, and the remainder of the gold, giving me
to understand that was all he had. He was gone about
a quarter of an hour, when he returned with a hundred
and nineteen dollars and a five-franc piece, and some
more gold. I tested this, and it boiled up, showing
that there was considerable alloy in it. I told him it was an
interior quality, and I c,,uld not give him more than GOs.,
and that 1 had rather be without it. The prisoner accepted
the offer, and I weighed it. The bag:contained 39 ounces 5
dwts. I' fisted him if he would like cash or • cheque on a
London banker, as I understood he was going to the nu. tree
polio and be preferred the latter. I gave him a cheque for
1421.'55. The entire weight of the gold was G 8 ounces. I
asked him if he had anything else to dispose of, and he said
he had some fillagre gold, and if I would look in upon him
at the Quebec Hotel, at five o'clock, he would show it me.
I went at six o'clock, and he was gone. Mr. Entente',
having concluded his evidence, complained of the
injury the previous report would do him, if through the
same channel it did not appear that he had taken every pro-
caution that a fair trader should do, and he believed that
' Messrs. Hutton would say that he had given them every
' facility in getting evidence against the prisoner, whom he
' should state had been actually recommended to him by
Messrs. Garradd and Gibbons, whom he, prisoner, had ap-
plied to (they being also Messrs. Hutton's agents) as to the
best place to sell some doubloons. The price he gave also
for the gold was • fair one.—Mr. Hutton said he was quite
satisfied with Mr. Emanuel's conduct, who had rendered
him all the assistance in his power.—Mr. Beadon said, Mr.
Emanuel's conduct is particularly correct, and if it is ne-
, cessnry I will say that you return to Portsmouth with-
out a stain on your reputation. Mr. Emanuel pro-
duced the gold dust which he had bought of the pri-
soner, and it was examined by the magistrate. It
is quite evident that one sample is much inferior to the other.
--Policeaiergrant E mmerson, 9 V, and police. constable Gibbs,
77 V, then gave evidence similar to that which has already
appeared respecting their apprehension of the prisoner, and
the finding the major part of the gold duet in his possession.
Upon the prisoner was found a gold chronometer, and 51. ss.
in cash. There is still a deficiency of 251. The police pro-
duced the bags and the belt which had been emptied at the
Bullion-office. The belt, in the making of which the prisoner
had displayed much ingenuity, will have to be burnt after
the trial to abstract the remaining gold.-1 he voluminous
depositions, which had been taken by Mr. Allied Taylor,
were then read over, and the prisoner, who made no defence,
was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court.
MANSION.HOUSE.—Arreger co POISON.—A. Ats-
&ram, a respectably-dressed young woman, was charged 1
before the Lord Mayor with administering to her sister, Eli- '
gabeth Anderson, a quantity of oil of almonds, with the
intention of poisoning her.—The only evidence called to-day
was that of policeman 490, who said he was called into the
house of Jane Morris, GO, Cheapside, to take the prisoner
into custody on the charge above stated. lie produced the
phial which had, he was informed, contained the poison,
which the prisoner bad poured into a pot of coffee, which she
gave to her sister.—Tke prisoner, on being asked what she
hail to say, replied that her sister had " used her ill, and had
slighted her."— The Lord Mayor; Do you think you are to
poison your sister for what you think her ill-conduct in this
stay ?—Prisoner:
the cheap tailors, but the remuneration allowed for
scarcely able, by their united exertions, to furnish themselves
with bare means of existence. The articles they were chiefly
employed to make up consisted of coarse canvas trousers
for exportation, for which they were only paid at the rate of
2il. per pair, and were required besides to provide the
thread at their own expense ; and, as they were only able to
complete three pairs per day, after labouring incessantly
from seven in the morning till ten o'clock at night, their
average earnings scarcely ever amounted to more than 3s. Gd.
per week. To aggravate their unhappy situation, her sister
was suffering under a severe pulmonary affe-tion, which fre-
quently deprived her of the power of rendering them any
assistance, and they were reduced at such intervals to a state
bordering upon actual starvation. Their case had been
brought under the notice of the parish authorities, who had
afforded them some trifling relief, but as the amount was
totally inadequate to satisfy the wants of her large family,
she had been advised by a neighbour to apply for some
further assistance at the hands of the magistrate.—Holland,
the warrant-officer, was immediately despatched by Mr.
Mammal to the woman's residence to investigate the case, and
for Yes, and I will poison her—The Lord
Mayor remanded her till Thursday, in order that inquiries
might be made into her state of mind.
WORSHIP-STREET. STARVATION WAOIB. A
widow, named Sophia Barrett, who had a sickly infant in
her arms., appeared before Mr. Hammitt to solicit some pecu-
niary aesistance. She stated that her late husband, who was
a shoemaker, died suddenly shout ten months ago, leaving
her without the slightest provision for the support of herself
and seven children, the eldest of whom was under 12 years
of age. She hail since endeavoured, with the assistance of
an invalid sister, to obtain a livelihood by making up slop
their labours was so scanty and iasulficient that they were
on his return reported that the family occupied two miserable
upper rooms, almost entirely without furniture, milled only
two separate heaps of rags to serve for their sleeping-place,
and nothing in the shape :of bed-clothing to cover them.
In consequence of the severe illness of the sister, whose side
I appeared to be paralysed, the applicant had af late de-
-11 pended solely upon her own unusisted labour, which pro-
-1 duced only Is. 10d. the whole of last week, although he was
I told by the neighbours that she commenced work as early as
I five in the morning, and continued at it till the last thing at
night. lie had also made inquiries of several tradesmen in
the neighbourhood, who entirely verified the woman's state-
ment.—Mr. liammill directed the officers to supply the
applicant with some warm bedclothing, and 10s. in money
from the funds of the poor-box, which the poor woman re-
ceived with great thankfulness.
CLERKENWELL.—UNCERTIFICATED ATTORNEYS.
John Singleton was charged en a summons with having un-
lawfully detained some articles of furniture.—A Mr. Hawley
who described himself as an attorney, attended on his behalf.
—Mr. Coombe asked him if he was • certificated attorney.—
Hawley replied in the affirmative, and said if it was neces.
sary he could produce his certificate.—Mr. Coombe ;Is your
name in the 1.6214, List ? —Hawley : Not in this year's, but
1 can go Ilene and fetch my certificate. Mr. Coombe

The March general sessions commenced yesteroay. The
calendar contains the unusually large number of 139 prisoners,
01 whom 128 are chargeh felony, and 7 out of the re-
maining 11 are indicted forshaving been principals or parti-
4atois in the late turbulent proceedings in Trafalgar-striate
and its neighbourhood. The indictments against them allege
that they, with divers other persons whose name s are un-
known, did unlawfully and riotously assemble to disturb the
public peace, and that they, while so such unlawful assent-
biy, glid assault divers offiers in the execution of thtir duty.
—The learned Serjeant addressed the grand jury, speaking
favourab4 of the new regulations introduced for the trial of
prisoners at this court, which he said would effect a saving
of 6001. a year to the country.—A number of-cases were
li,po•co uf, but Rene containing any feature of public im-
portance.

POLICE.—YESTERDAY.
THE. ROBBERY OP GOLD DUST.
WAN DS WORTH.—J.W. Thompson, late captain of the
Medorn ichooner, was finally examined on a charge of stealing
a large qu,n,tity of gold dust, some doubloons, and dollars,
the whole amounting to nearly 7,0001. in value, and
consigned to Messrs. W. M. Hutton, merchants.—
Mr. NV. M. Hutton stated that he is in partnership
with Mr. R. Hutton. They are the ownirs of the
,cheoner hledora, and the prisoner hail been their captain
for five years. In October last he went out to Cape Coast
and other places on the Gold Coast of Africa, there to take in
a cargo of palm oil and other freight, with gold dust
and specie, as the resident merchants might desire to
consign homewards. Prisoner bad orders front the linen to
proceed as soon as the ship was laden to the port of Lon-
don. Prosecutor heard nothing of the vessel until the morn-
ing of the 3rd of March, when he received a number of let-
ters brought by that ship, and one from the prisoner, dated
March 2, in which he stated that on leaving the Gold Coast
he fell ill with the fever and was attacked with delirium,
and that whilst in that state he threw over the gold dust,
and said it was the act of God. Prosecutor had then only
hills of lading for 000 ounces of gold dust, the prisoner hav-
ing withheld the other bills of lading, and kept him in ig-
norance of the other consignments. Prosecutor, in conse-
quence of receiving this extraordinary letter, sent two of his
clerks to Portsmouth, where the ship was lying, and from
what they told him on their return, he communi.
cated with the police, and on the morning of
the 4th of March he accompanied police-constable
Gibbs, 77 V. to No. 1, Wellington-terraco, Clapham-road,
where they devised means to ascertain whether the prisoner
was there ; and finding that he was, prosecutor's son went
in with the constable, who brought the prisoner out. Gibbs
produced it ba• k. t containing bags of gold, and prosecutor
asked prisoner it that ors the guld. he had brou‘kt un freight
and he said it woe. lie then asked him for the bills of isoice

afterwards returned, end presented to Mr. Coombe his certi-
ficate for the preceding emu, and his register, and said that
the Wear would entitle him to take out a fresh certilleat e.-
sir. Coombe perused it, and said-by this you are not recog-
nised as *certificated attorney. It was necessary to have a
regularly stamped certificate from the Stamp-office.-
Hawley : 1 em aware of that, but a great number of certill-
cates have notfiseen granted:this yeer.-Mr. Coombe: I think
II am not the first that hes objected to you on this ground.-
Hawley : 1 can aseure your worship you are the first

he would sit down and listen to the proceedings, which he
did during the renviinder of the case.

Correction.
SOUTHWARK.-HIOHWAY ROUSER:Y.-11. Smith, a
man well known to the police, was charged with attempting
to commit • daring highway robbery on the person of a Mr.
Wills, in Union-street, Sleuth weak -The complainant stated
that between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock on the
preceding night, as he was walking along Unionstreet, he
was suddenly seised by two men, one on each side, who pi-
nioned his arms, while another, whom he had no doubt was
the prisoner, thrust one of his hands into his righthand trow-
sees pocket. Ile (complainant) called out for the police;
upon which hi, rissailants pushed him into the passage of his
own house, the door of which was open, and then ran away.
He, however, followed his assailants, who ran towards the
Borough, and having kept the prisoner in sight gave him in-
to custody at the corner of the turning leading into the Minef-
t,
opposite St. George's church. Toe priaoner, however,
fected his escape at the time through some of tho inter-
minable turnings out of the Mint, but he was subsequently
retaken in the Borough-market.-The prisoner vehemently
declared that ho was not in Union-street on the night in
question.-The magistrate r. mended the prisoner.

tows, G. Payne, It. Davis, 'l'. llotcktt, IV. hlegden, IV.
Mile, end S. Morgan, the majority of whom were youths,
were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of
having with others feloniously broken and entered the
dwelling.house of Mr. T. Gray, a pawnbroker, in Southern!).
ton-strer t, ('amberwell, and stealing therefrom property to
the value of 1,0001. The prisoners were also charged with
breaking into nail robbing other shops in the neighbourhood.
From the evidence, which WAS taken at considerable length, it
appeared that b. tween eleven and twelve o'clock on
the day before, the shop of Mr. Grey was attacked
by • mob of from three hundred to four hundred persons, many
of whom were armed with formidable weapons, formed
from oaken palings, and others with hammers, &c. They
nocceeded in forcing open the doors and shutters, smashed
the windows, and carried away property estimated at 1,0001.
The prisoners Money, Taylor, Archer, Brown, and Payne
were particularly spoken to by many of the witnesses as being
armed ringleaders of the mob, and as taking an active part
in breaking into the house and the robbery, and the whole
of the prisoners, with the exception of Money, had, when
taken, a portion of the stolen property in their possession.--
Mr. B. Allield, a tailor, No. 1, Southampton-street, deposed
that, seeing the mob advancing towards his shop, he en-
deavoured to put up his shutters, but before he had time to
do so the people Came up to him, pulled down the two shut-
ters he had put up, and demolished his shop windows, frames
and all. They also carried away with them a great variety of
property from the shop, and destroyed more. One of the party,
who was armed with a bludgeon, demanded his money and
his watch, and, instantly for, ing his hands into hie pocket,
took out its contents, w. ich consisted of six or seven shit.
lines. The person who so robbed him was not in custody,
but Taylor, one of the prisoners in the dock, stood close
to him at the time, and he also recognised Money and Payne
as being also present. The witness added, that the faces of
all the prisoners were quite familiar to him, and he had no
hesitation in saying that they were all amongst the mob in
front of his house.-Mrs. Shaw, a cliandier.shopkeePer, de•
posed that the mob broke seventeen squares of glom, rifted
her shop of all the cheese, bread, and other things which it I
contained, and, in the most wanton manner, broke upwards
of 100 eggs, and scattered a quantity of flour aboutthe place.
This witness identified Taylor, Money, and several of the
other prisoners as haviag taken an active part in the outrage.-
Mr. .1. Kent, a grocer, in W)ndhani. road, Camberwell, said
that about 12 o'clock on the day before a mob attacked his
house, dashed in its wiudows, and rushed into his shop. The
prisoner Money helped himself to the contents of the till, which
consisted of ab.,ut 31., and the others carried away • quantity
of butter, bread, cheese, and other property ; and not content
with this, they destroyed a quantity of goods. Mr. Kent
pointed out several of the prisoners as those who were
amongst the crowd, and who took an active part in the rob-
bery.-Mrs. E. Guildford, the keeper of • chandler's shop,
whose house had been broken into and plundered, identified
three or four of the prisoners, who she said were the ring-
leaders, and took an active port in the robbery.-Mr. Cressey
and Mrs. Jamieson, whoac shops had been broken into and
plundered of a quantity of boots and shoes, identified a por-
tion of the property found upon the prisoners es theirs, and
the prisoners, after a lengthened examination, were remanded
1 for • week.

LOUIS Philippe and Guizot. A country expending at
the rate, for several years, in round figures, of sixty
millions sterling per annum upon an income of some
forty-four millions, in a time of profound peace too, could
hardly fail to be brought to a stand within a certain
period, and to the revolutionary financial confusion
which, in public as in private affairs, must ever
follow prodigal and profligate expenditure. The
almost imperturbable equanimity of the public mind
in this country, and amongst the property
classes more particularly, in the midst of continental
perturbations of every kind, was never more forcibly
displayed than at the present time, of which the stea-
diness of national securities may be taken as proof.
Consols, which yesterday ranged from 801 to in re-
gular business hours, though quoted more largely af-
terwards,
have been to day at 811, and declined only
to 804 to I on leaving off, both for money and account.

The state of the foreign market was lamentable.
Sonic isolated transactions may be reported, carrying
all the appearance of forced sales. Mexican, in which
speculative interests were rather active to create a
rise, left off at 14 to 4. Brazilian Bonds were done
at 70 and 72 ; the Bonds, at 69, although they
may be (loot( d from 70 to 74. New Grenada, lately
at 20 on average, were 12 to 13. Spanish Fives, 11

The Victoria ship, from the Pacific, now in the
docks, is stated to have discharged to-day to the value
of 600,000 dollars, in gold, silver, plata, pens., and

platina.
F'reign exchange was to-day in as confused a
state as before. Takers manifested much hesitation
on the best names, and the rates must be considered
nominal only, so select was the business transacted.

That the drain of hard money is beginning is shown
by the exports to Antwerp recently, and as credit or
paper value diminishes on the continent, or hard
money is hoarded, as it is, and will be, more metallic
volute will be required from hence. The Bank of
England must look to it. The Dutch are reforming
their coinage, and will want for the purpose gold and
silver, which must be brought from hence, at what-
ever rate. The Spanish government, with a most
confused and debased coinage, is in the market for
gold and silver, also to reform it. The two govern-
ments are in the right, but, concurrently with a more
general demand, it may put the Bonk of England in
the wrong.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. John Kingston
and Co., West India merchants, who stopped payment
ou the Oth Feb. last, was held to-day. The gross as-
sets appeared to be 72,8301. 3s. 2d., which, with Mr.
Kingston's private property, were estimated to pro-
duce 41,3821. Os. Bd. ; while the total liabilities
were no more than 23,2451. Gs. Id. Itesolutions were
then entered into granting time to wind up and
realise under inspection; and it was satisfactorily
shown that the suspension of the house was caused
solely by the great depreciation in the value of West
India property, particularly since the late alterations
in the sugar duties. Hopes are entertained that, un-
der such a favourable state of things, the firm will dis-
charge its engagements, and resume business.

MONEY MARKET.
TUESDAY EVENING.
Unpleasant rumours have been abroad to-day of
forthcoming failures in the City, for which, however,
no sufficient authority was cited. From abroad,
unfortunately, commercial and financial disasters
come daily by every post. Three more failures are
reported from Amsterdam, where more still were
expected. From Paris, as may almost be said, the
greatest banking and yommercial notabilities ere, in
the common trading phrase,' " blown upon"w From
all parts of Germany accounts of no better import
are received. The universal panic is charged, and
no doubt justly, upon the French revolution.
The disorganised situation of French finance
is placed to the account of that revolution, and, so far
as the immediate consequence, with app Trent reason
enough. But, as is fairly urged in the cooler mason-
ing quarters of the City, the financial chaos could not

RAILWAY NETVS.
We had a fair market in shares until towards the
close of business yesterday, when the decline of Con-
sols, and unpleasant apprehensions from reports that
certain pt rites might be unable to meet their engage-
ments on the settlement now coming on, depressed
the market, and indisposed the dealers to transactions
of any kind.
