His lordship said that amongst the numerous complaints
made to him relative to desecrations of the description men-
tioned* Mr. Carton was one from Dr. Farquhar, of No.
101, Drury-leas, who called upon him the other day to re-
quest his rughteriel attention to the condition of the bury-
tug-ground Washed to /Dim Chapel, in Fetter-lane. A
earpeater had, the duster said, called upon him, and having
mentioned that behalf burled two of his children in that
ground, expressed the sweetest apprehension that, from the
manner in which the harying-ground was conducted, their
bodies would he cat in plasm, and so mixed up with others.
Doctor Fa/queer YisMil the burial-ground himself, and he
found thet *me were aerially on the spot two or three cart.
Wade ef Mum amain packed up in coffins for carting and
remosel re ems other piaci, which it might be, perhaps,
earldom& amasser, oa some future occasion to desecrate in
a similar moaner. Dr. Farquhar stated that the exposure
in the close neighbourhood was calculated to engender die-
sues of fatal character. Dr. Farquhar was then relemd to
the ward authorities, but be said that he should leave his
statement to be disposed of as the chief magistrate might
think fit, upon which he (the Lord Mayor) adopted the pre-
sent mode of letting those who had the power of des ling
with the question know what was going on in the church.
yards of the metropolis.
BOW-STREET.—John Robson, sliu Thompson, alias
Spore, &c., was brought up for re-examination, charged with
obtaining haritable donations by means of false pretences.—
Mr. R. W. Grey, M.P. for Teynemouth, proved that the
prisoner left a letter at his residence in Belgrave-square on
the 2nd host., petitioning for relief, in consequence of his
alleged distress, arising from the failure of a joint-stock
bank in the north of England. He represented that he was
known to Mr. Hinde, M.P., and also to many of the friends
of witness, through whose instrumentality he had been re-
turned to parliament. He further represented that a Mr.
Pow, of Sheffield, a very respectable tradesman, was related
to him. Witness sent hint a message to the effect that he
would inquire into the circumstances before giving any
relief ; but, while riding in the park, shortly afterwards,
he we. stopped by the prisoner, who showed him a
slip of paper, being en order to Mr. Hinde's butler to pay
the prisoner • sovereign. Witness still declined giving him
anything without inquiry, but promised to send to his ad-
dress if his story proved true. On mentioning his suspicions
to the police, whams was advised to send for the prisoner
and to give him ss. This was done, and, after the payment
of the money, the prisoner was given into custody. Witness
put in certain letters addressed to him by the prisoner, in
one of which the writer urged that his Northumberland dia-
lect ought to convince witness of the truth of his statements.
—The officers of the Mendicity Society now attended with
• great variety of letters written by the prisoner from time
to time to Lord John Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Eldon,
the Duke of Northumberland, the Madames& of London-
derry, and others of the nobility and gentry, all represent-
ing the misfortune of the prisoaer, who seamed different
names, and described different calamities, as occasions
served. According to these he had broken both his legs and
nearly all his ribs, at short intervals of a week or iso, besides
suffering other injuries and deprivations, without cessation,
for a considerable time past. In many instances he had suc-
ceeded in obtaining assistance, but in others his letters had
been forwarded to the Mendicity Society. They were dated
from different localities in London.—The prisoner did not i
deny having written most of the letters, but declared that
he had been a loser by the failure of the northern bank al-
luded to.—Mr. Jardine took great pains to have all the pri-
soner's past doings, so fax as they were known, faithfully re-
corded in the minutes of the court, and then, after expressing
his regret that he could not inflict • greater punishment on
the first conviction, sentenced the prisoner to three months'
hard labour.
MARLBOROUGH.STREET.—Toa Bony or A CHILD
CONCEALED IN A Room THREE YEARS.—Janet Inds was
finally examined, charged with having concealed the birth of
• child, on the body of which an inquest was held on Saar
day, and reported in our paper of Monday.—Sarah Tucker
stated that she lived at 69, Warren-street, Fittroy.square,
and that the prisoner had lodged with her about four years.
A few days ago some of the lodgers complained of being an-
noyed by an offensive smell that came from the prisoner's
room, and witness requested the prisoner to have her room
cleaned out. The bad smell still continuing, witness took
advantage of the absence of the prisoner to enter her room ;
and, after moving the things out on the landing, a box,
which was corded up, was inspected, and in it was found the
shrivelled body of an infant. When the prisoner was ap-
prised of the discovery which had been made, she absconded
from her lodgings—Police-constable D 108, said he appre-
hended the prisoner. She said that the child was hers ; that
she had been delivered of it about three years ego ; that it
was still-born, and not knowing what to do with it, she had
put it into the box in which it had been found.—Mr. Pres-
ton, surgeon. Edward-street, Portman-square, said he had
examined the body of the child. It was a male child, but,
from the state of decomposition in which the remains were,
it was impossible to say how it had come by in death. It
appeared, however, to him to have been still-born.—The
prisoner was committed for the misdemeanor of concealing
the birth.
LAMBETH. MISCONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN. —S.
Shepheard, 143 L, was charged by order of the police com-
missioners with violation of duty.—Thomas Vence, 2 L, de-
mud that on Monday night the prisoner after going on duty
had deserted from his beat ; and on the following morning
he (witness) took him from a beer-shop in Tooley-street,
kept by his father-in-law, to the station-house. He at the
time was very much intoxicated.—lnspector Evans said that
on Monday morning the prisoner, who had been about six
months in the force, bad been taken before the commissioners
in Scotland-yard, and fined ss. for being drunk —A solicitor
who appeared for the prisoner in mitigation of punishment,
urged the fact of his not being guilty of any misconduct on
his beat on the night in question ; and said that his having
been taken before the commissioners was the cause of his
taping more drink and leaving hie duty,—Mr. Elliott ob-
emwd the prisoner's conduct on the occasion was very
=ad his having been fined by the commissioners on
morning, instead of acting as a check or example to
maned to have a contrary effect. The magistrate sen-
tare& Ida to pay a penalty of 405., or in default of payment
to be committed to prison for 14 days.
SOUTHWARK —STEAM-BOATA.—With reference to the
report of the proceedings at this court, in our paper of Tam
day, relative to some of the steam-boats plying on the river,
we are requested to state that the Lady of the Lake, against
the captain of which a charge was then made, is not one of
the City company's vessels.
TH AMES.—FELONT BY SOLDIERS.—Two private
soldiers named E. Darby and J. Stirrly, were charged with
feloniously receiving a gold watch, guard, awl chain worth
30 guineas the property of Mr. J. Sircombe. The prose-
cutor stated that having dined out on the 16th of Augast
last, and taken tooxnuch wine, as he was returning late at
night, whilst passing the National. Gallery he fell in with
two girls, who induced him to accompany them to a
court in Westminster, where he sent for some wine,
and partook of it with them. They then gave him
some stuff in a tea-cup, which soon rendered him insensible.
When he awoke in the morning he found himself alone in
the room, minus hiswatch, five sovereigns, and some silver ;
and on going into the court he saw two soldiers strongly
resembling the prisoners, passing out —Mr. Byas, pawn-
broker, Rateliff-highway, proved that in the evening of the
day when the property was missed, the two prisoners came
to his shop and offered • watch (which Mr. Sircombe iden-
tified as the one he lost), in pawn for 60s. Witness asked
who owned the watch, to which Stirdy replied it was hie;
that it had been in his possession nineteen years, and that
his father had had it upwards of fifty years. Not being
satisfied, Mr. Byes sent for a constable.—Theprimmeesk
their defence stated that they had the watch tom=
whom they met in Pimlico.—The prisoners wale
for trial. •
FRAUD IN • COUNTY COURT.—II. Murray, a keen
was re-examined charged with fraud.—On the 12th of June
last Mr. Pike, landlord of the Fox and Goose pun
to Shakepere's-walk, Shiadwell, went to the
county court to take out a summons, and was
the prisoner who, on learning his business, said he
it for him, and represented himself as the bailiff Aided*,
of the court and authorised to take out summoning,. a.
procured some printed forms, which were filled up, sash mg
day Mr. Pike paid the prisoner 7s. 9A. for the pulp.* of
taking out summonses, that being named by the primmer as
the Sm. payable ; the peisoner,at the same time, ramival
a written authority fresalknrke Y lato out many Wendy

prisoner signed a receipt fat the money phi Wm by Yr.
Pike, but he never took out sal SOIESMOISESIS SOIL Mr. Pike
soon ascertained he was an impostor, and had bon convicted
of felony.—Mr. Gregory, one of the bailiffs of the White.
chapel county court, said the prisoner held no official ape
pointment whatever, but was • mere hanger-on about the
court, and printed cautions had been posted warning suitor
against the malpractices of such persons. The prisoner wag
committed for trial.
WANDSWORTH.—Damneo ROBBERY tie Barransiut-
PIELDB.—T. Simpson, alias Sioanaey, and Mary Gems,
were finally examined, charged with robbery.—On Saturdety
night, the 21st ult., A. Lawson, the prosecutor, a roister,
was walking from Nine Elms to Battersea-bridge, and had
got some distance across the fields when the female prisoner
came up and acceded him. After walking • few yards he
was stopped by the male prisoner, who said, with an oath,
" You've been with my wife all the evening, and I'll punch
your head if you don't give me something." The prosecutor
ran off, followed by the prisoner and a largo ferocious dog,
which the prisoner set at him. As prosecutor was trying to
clear a mound he fell; and on the prisoner's whistling he was
surrounded by ten or twelve men. One of the party sounded
his waistcoat pocket, and prosecutor took out all the silver
that warin it, which amounted to 4e. 6d., and gave it to
the male prisoner, who divided it. The prisoner then told
the pregnant' to be off, and never to come there any snore.
A The male prisoner denied having threatened the prosecutor,
,ro- or robbed him.—The prisoner was committed for trial.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The considerable money sale of stock which was
effected late yesterday afternoon was followed up by
some further operations of a similar description this
=ening, and the consequence wee another fractional
retrogradation of prices. Speculators he the the die-
ph a degree of confidence in the early return ot eon-
mold activity, and of a more shy state of the
meg market, which will be elresgthemed by the
peculiar position of the exchange marimbas the con-
tinent. The derangement in the oars D. in Eng-
land has led to a natural distrust in the great =part-
ing markets of Russia, and parties having o.ollllke to
remit moneys to London, since they have DO kart,
