were sent, and on approval another order was given,
and the plates were received by the other primmer, who
acted on all cations as Mansell's servant. The payment for
the plates being delayed, and amounting to upwards of 601.,
the complainant on makingsubsequent inquiry was informed
that Mansell was a swindler, and that it was not
likely lie would pay; It was also ascertained that
the very days on which he received the plates he
raised money on them at a pawnbroker's. Mosul] did
not live in Stamford-street, but was lodging in Great Or-
mond-street, Red Lion-square.—Mr. James, on behalf of
Mon/sell, contended that it was a case in which credit was
given by the complainant, and that it mattered not how the
goods were afterwards appropriated by the purohaaer, who
maid not be charged with fraudulently obtaining them.—
Mr. Cottingham said that, in his epinion it was clearly a
fraud, if not a felony, for • man to order goods of another for
a particular purpose, and which when sent in were left unpaid
for, and sent to • pawnbroker's to have money raised on
them.—Monsell, too, had described himself as living is
Stamford-street, where the plates were sent, and it now
turned out that he never resided there.—The prisoners were

—F. Kelbwrn, a furniture broker, residing at No. 1, Eben-
ezer Cottages, Peckham New Town, appeared to show camps
why he detained a variety of property belonging to T. Evans,
a cooper, raiding at No. 14, Horsemonger-lane.—Mr.
Games, in stating the case on behalf of the complainant, ob-
served that it was one of considerable hardship. His client
was the tenant of Mr. Monk, a publican, and having been
in arrears of rent to the amount of 71. 2a., the defendant,
who is a broker, was employed to levy an execution. While
the defendant wale palmation, the complainant paid him
31. out of the V. 24. rent, and 11. 16s. 6d. expenses; but after
the sixth day he carried away property t• the amount of at
least 251., and though the complainant had since repeatedly
tendered the 41. 2.4., and offered te pay any reasonable
expenses, he was unable toget any of his property.—The com-
plainant and his son corroborated the statement of Mr. Games,
and said that she 22 nuke carried away by the defendant
were worth 121., though they formed not a third of the pro-
perty seised.—The detendant admitted having received 31.
from the complainant, bet denied having received the
11. 16s. 6d., and said that the goads were condemned in the
ordinary way, and he had a right to remove them. Some
part of them he had sold, and a remaining portion he had
sent to Mr. Lloyd's auction rooms, where they still re-
mained unsold.—Mr. Elliott remarked that it was quite
der that the distraint wu grossly exeesoive, but the sum-
mons he found bad been taken out for the wrong offence.
Mete were three other offences in the set of parliament,
If which the defendant had been galley, and for which he
' bed rendered himself liable to heavy penalties, and for those
be would direct that summonses should be made out. In
the t case his decision was that the whole of the
embed should be delivered up to the defendant on the
paymmagof 41.2 x., and reasonable expense.—Mr. Games said
it had been his intention to have applied to his worship
for the summonses ordered by him.
THAMES.—DEBELITION BY SE•YRN.—in the case
reported in our paper of yesterday, in which Captain
Taylor, muter of the barque Lochlibo, was summoned by
Jacob De Shiel, for a balance of wages for services rendered
on a voyage from Quebec, an order for 61. 18s. sd. was made
in his favour, but Captain Mustart, the muter of the
Alexander Edmunds, from which ship the man deserted at
Quebec, obtained a warrant for his appreheneion as • deserter
and De Shiel absconded, without waiting for his wages. Yes-
terday, De Shiel was brought up, and Capt. Mustart having
been sworn, fully proved his desertion from the Alexander
Edmunds whilst that Teasel was in the river Saugenay, near
Quebec. —Mr. Yardley, in giving judgment, observed that
on the previous day he was extremely sorry that, owing to
an informality in certain forms of law not having been com-
plied with, he had been compelled to order the defendant
wages which, in point of equity if not of law, he
had entirely forfeited. He was glad to find that
Captain Mustart, as well as Captain Taylor, had not
shrunk from performing their duty, both to their owners
and other captains of vessels, which duty became more nee
amitous when the peculiar, and, be must say, moat unjusti-
Sable, manner in which seamen imposed on the masters of
vessels at Quebec was taken into consideration. He hoped
that the colonial legislative enactment, which came is force
on the let of January next, would have the effect of
abating, if sot entirely putting a stop to these gross frauds
and impositions, but, ad interim, he was determined, when-
ever such a case came before him, to mark his sense of the
iniquitous character of such preceding' by inflicting • se- ,
vere punishment.—The sentence of the court will that De
Shirt be immitoned, and kept to hard labour, for 30 days.
WOOLWICH.—POMON FOR THE MILLION.—J. Green-
wood, pork butcher, of Woolwich, and J. Dorrington, cattle
jobber, of Elthatn, were charged with having in their pos.
session a quantity of unwholesome meat, intended for sale.
—S. Walls inspector of nuisances said he went to the busk
premises dais defendant Greenwood, on the morning of the
27th November, and he saw Dorriagton and another man
pulling a cart out of a /died. The cart contained the four
quarters of a cow, which Dorrington said he was going to
take to market, and which he said belonged to Greenwood.
Shortly afterwards Greenwood came out and said the meat
belonged to Dorrington, which the latter admitted. Walls
seised the meat, and had it conveyed to the parish yard.—
Two butchers were called to speak to the condition of the
meat, which they said was unusually soft, flabby, and black,
giving oat a faint smell, and appearing to be the flesh of an
animal which bad died of consumption.—J. B. Godfrey,
M.Di, deposed to having received from Walls part of the
meat of the animal, the fat of which was all dissolved
sad tbaserwres only an oily yellow wasted membrane, which
was sowed with tubercles, which the butchers usually
termed " flounders." All the membranes, as well as the
kidney, well tubercled, and the flesh had the appear-
ance of Wig wasted and fibrous. The flesh of all animals
which died in a state of disease was unfit for human food.
The White "rho killed the animal admitted that it was
teeelted la the tap. gad led a tifileolty in breathing."—
Mr. heap sad thst, lordly Waking, both parties were
frailly, he the had eat made the posseedon wider any tit-
eameasems, ea dhow There was • doubt,' however, with
regard to the elan of Greenwood in the transaction, and

MONEY MARKET.
WEDN SADLY EVENING.
Some purchases of Three-and-a-Quarter per Center.
and Consols this morning by the Bank broker raised
Consols from 851 to j for money to 85,t, and pro-
portionally for account from 861 to j. Put mid-day,
however, broker usually acting for a Hebrew cam-
tenet firm, came in its • seller for account, and disposed
of some large quantities, the result of which was a
decline in prima, which left off 851 to 4 for money,
and 86 to j for account. It will be obeerved that
affairs therefore remained at the close nearly the seas
as at the opening of business. The sales were accom-
panied or followed by the report. of express advices
Rvm Paris reporting the tottering position of the
Guizot administration, and a fall in French Rentee in
consequence. The latter will probably prove to be
well founded, but the political event of each importance
would seem of more than doubtful origin, seeing the
absence of all premonitory symptoms of its arrival.,

There is scarcely any change to report in foreign
securities. Mexican appear to be rather in favour
yet as a matter of speculation, but the more settled
quotations do not yet exceed I7j to 18. Brazilian,

transactions in foreign stocks took place.
It is only proper to mention that Mr. Henry
Turner, one of the dealers on the Stock Exchange
whose default at the late settlement of account was
alluded to under this head at the time, has already
satisfied in full all the claims against him. The
numerous failures which occurred on the eve of that
extraordinsrily heavy settlement were the occasion of
Mr. Turner's temporary difficulties. The delay in
the adjustment of his differences arose from the in-
timate nature of the accounts which had to be dealt
with and adjusted.
The Manelleger Courier of to-day reports the
failure of a small spinning concern there. It is noticed
moreover, as a singularity, as it is, that although the
Bank of England here has reduced the rate of dis-
count to 6 per cent., the Manchester branch bank still
continued to exact 7 per cent.
From the intimacy and almost diurnal nature at
the commercial and monetary relations between this
country and Holland, it cannot but be of public M-
I tercet to learn that a new monetary organisation has
been adopted in that country, and a decree issued in
consequence concerning the details of its regulation,
in accordance with laws passed by the legialatare and
approved by the executive.
The preamble of the decree recites that flom the
point already arrived at of the tett:mit of the OA
money, the adoption of a simple standard of value,
that of silver, is rendered desirable, with the Mem
duction of other ameliorations in the monetary rptilft
of Holland, as well as the reunion in one law of all
the dispositions which relate to the monetary system.
For these reasons it is decreed that the moneys of the
state shall consist hereafter in legal pieces, moneys
d'appoint (or supplementary moneys), and commer-
chid moneys. The legal pieces in silver, Art. 2o( the
decree, are thus designed : --The florin to form the
unity of the monetary system of Holland. The
ryksdaalder, or piece of 21 florins. The halfflorin, or
piece of 50 cents. Art. 3. The money d'appoint in
silver (supplementary for change) to consist in piece
of 25 cents., 10 cents., and 5 cents. Art. 4. The
money d'appoint in copper to consist of pieces of I
cent, or the hanchedth•part of the florin, and of a
half-cent- Arf. 5. The commercial moneys to be the
