LAMBETH. ROBBING • Batmen. Harriet Lw-
ow a middle-mid WORM, was charged with stealing from
the :person of Sir A. W. Hillary, Ban., a silk purse, contain-
ing three Bank of England note, of 61. each, and three son-
mgna in gold.
Sir Augustly stated that on 'Thursday night, about eleven
o'clock, while puking along Berton-terrace, Lambeth, the
prisoner approached, and addressed him in hmiliar term.
He told her to go away—that he did not wish to have any
thing to say to her, but instead of doing so, she pushed up
against hint two or three times—first at one side, and then
at the other, and left him in a hurried manner. He in-
stantly felt his right-hand trousers-pocket, and discovered
.that his puns, eaatidniss thane Newels*, and three 61.
notes, was gem, end he Warm* pursued the prisoner. He
overtook her at a distance of 300 yards, and touching het on
the shoulder, requested her to return his purse. The priso-
ner replied, " It you have lost anything, let's come back and
look far it." She then returned back, but bad not proceeded
more than three or font yards when she kieked &saint come-
t/Mg, and said, "Is that any of your property I" He (Sir
Augustus) perceiving some paper on the pavement, picked

may think yourself lucky that I have not got that, too."

the baronet's testimony, and the prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY ETRWINO.

We observe that the amount of bi is on India nego
tinted -by the East India Company on their treasuries
at Calmat., Madras, and Bombay, is larger 'during
thelaat month than in the two previous months of this
year. The bills on Bengal amount to 337,4091. 1311.4 d.;
oa Madras, 38,528/. 10s. 6d. ; on Bombay,
10,5061. 4s. 3d. ' • making a total of 384,444/. Be. id.
in the period between 9th March and sth
ApriL The total amount of bills negotiated in
India between 7th January and sth April by the
East India Company is 986,9551. 6s. I0J.; but the
rate having been raised to le. 10J. for Calcutta and
Madras bills, and to Is. 10 id. for bills on Bombay on
the '2Bth ult., it is probable a check will be given to
that mode of remittance in some measure. There is
no doubt that this step was anticipated by many par-
ties, which has led to extensive trAnsactions in bills;
and, in some instances, it is supposed on speculation.
The produce markets are closed, for the Easter holi-
days, until Wednesday next. Colonial produce gene-
rally throughout the week has been steady, but with-
out improvement in prices. The cotton market
showed some little improvement in dt mend within
the last few days at Liverpool, and American descrip-
tions were} per lb. higher, the sales of the week,
though a abort one, being 34,450 bales.
