CONVICTION OF A GANG OF SWINDLERS.

On Saturday, at the Surrey Sessions, Carolus Bond, 41,
Sarah Jane Bond, 38, George Alfred Fennell, 24, and.
Jernitna Fennell, 27, wereihdicted for stealing property,
consisting of jewellery, lamps, lustres, mantles, satin,
clothes, wine, &c., valued at nearly a thousand pounds,
from various tradespeople in different parts of the
metropolis. There-were at least forty distinct charges
against them, and the court was excessively Crowded
during the trial with the victims who attended to have
their property restored. There were fifteen indictments
against the prisoners. The first indictment was for
stealing a velvet mantle,. value £44, six cloth mantles
and three coats, value £6 4s, the property of Green
Brothers, St. John's Wood. Miss Musgtove, assistant
to the prosecutors, said that Mrs. Bond had come to
the shop dressed in a most fashionable style, and bad
ordered the above goods to be brought to her house
in Wellington 'place, St. John's Wood, in order that
the cloth cloaks might be fi-ted upon her children.--
Witness went with the goods and was shown into a well
furnished roam by the prisoner, Mrs. Fennell, who acted
.as servant, Witness saw Mrt. Bond, who regretted that her
children were not at home, and requested her to call at 9
o'clock the 'next morning when her children would be in.
Witness was deceived by the respectable appearance of
Mrs. Bond and the house- and left the goods. 'l'ris
next morning when she- called the house was empty..
Information was given to the police, and the prisoner/
were traced, through the carman, to Alfred place, Old
Kent road; to which place they removed at night. Here
the police found Mrs. Bond in bed with her husband In
one room, -and Mrs. Fennell'in bed with her husband in
another room. They were all taken into custody, and
the whole of the stolen property was recovered. The
defence was that the goods were purchased in the usual
way, and this was only an ordinary case of credit. Tile
jury found all the prisoners Guilty. The prisoners;
after consulting with their legal advisers, withdrew their
pleas of ‘• not guilty" in all the other cases, and pleaded
guilty. Mr. Robinson, on behalf of the prosecutors,
stated that Fennell had borne a good character previous
to this transaction, and his wife had, no doubt, acted
under his directions. For the Bonds, he could say nothing
favourable. The Chairman, in consideration of what
had been stated, said he should make a distinction
between the prisoners. He then sentenced Bond and
his wife to 18 months' hard labour each, Fennell 12
months, and his wife 6 months in 'Wandsworth House
of Correction,

We have received our usual weekly reports of the
state of trade in, the manufacturing aistriets.—
There have been large buyers in the_Leeds market,
who have purchased to a considerable extent in
anticipation of higher prices. There has been a
fair inquiry for goods suitable to the spring trade,
and most of the shipping houses are in full em
ployment, while several large buyers for, the
Canadian market are operating to a 'very large
extent At Bradford the worsted trade has
ruled rather active, and prices have exhibited an
upward tendency. - There was more business doing
in 'piece, goods, and full prices were current, as the
stocks are generally very high. At Halifax prices
ruled firmer for all descriptions of -wool; and the
piece trade was rather active for the season. At
Manchester business has been dull, owing to the
advanced prices demanded by the manufacturers
consequent upon the enhanced price of the raw
material ; 36 and 40 inch shirtings have been at a
considerable improvement. At Leicester business
has been extremely -Ault, and the high priees of
wool and cotton yarns have deterred manufacturers
from increasing their stocks for the spring trade

iron trade, but the commercial prospects of the
district are in a satisfactory state, The tinplate
trade is brisk, and there are large orders for

With reference to the sugar duties, the following
remarks in the circular of Messrs. Corrie and Co
-deserve attention :

There seems to be a favourable opinion now with regard
to the future prospects of the article, and, although we may
not perhaps see any further decided advance, more especially
as th 3 new crops in most of the principal growing oouutries,
except Louisiana, promise abundant supplies, whilst the
production from beetroot also Will probably be large, present
quotations are likely to be maintained for some time in the
tats of the reduction of duties to come into operation in
April. But, so long as the present vexatious system of as—
sessment of sugar duties is kept up, the position of this
trade can never be regarded as secure or satisfactory. It is
certainly a rather anomalous fact that so important a branch
of commerce, and one which Nields such a large revenue to
the crown, should be constantly fettered and harassed by
restrictions, as unwise in their purpose as they are unneces-
sary for realising the main object in view, which could be
accomplishe I not only as efficiently, but with infinitely less
expense to the government, and without anxiety or annoy.
ante to other parties, by one simple uniform rate (say lls
81 per owl) for all descriptions of raw sugar, of whatever
growth or manufacture. If such a principle were-adopted,
we feel assured that it would be a great boon to the public,
whilst at the same time the customs might be better
enabled• to secure the very ample revenue hitherto derived
from the article. And if the differential rat,. s were at once
abolished, there would be no occasion for carrying out the
contemplated further reduction in April, 1858.

ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE FREIGHT MARKET.

The year which has just closed, will probably form one of
the most important epochs in English history, as comprising
the termination of a war, in every respect honourable to this
country; showing kith what enormous rapidity our resources
can. be developed, and that while the struggle imposed
burdens borne with ease, the return of peace has not bean
followed by that collapse and ruin which has not unfre-
quently followed a similar event in former times; at this
period last year, only the sanguine entertained the idea that
a permanent peace would be carried out ; b none could
have conceived that, not only would this be the fact,
but, that so rapidly would trade expand, that at the
termination of the year, we should find our exports had in -
creased by nearly £25,000,000, and this without any sudden
convulsion or any forced demand springing from adventitious
circumstances; trade, on 'the contrary, has rapidly and
steadily extended itself with an Uniformly good result, and
although, as will be seen in referring to distinCt branches,
the high rate of interest caused by foreign competition has,
to some extent, limited operations yet, on the other hand,
this circumstance has materially operated in checking wild
speculation ; this is the more satisfactory, inasmuch as a giance
at the reserves of bullion and securities, both in (be banks of
England and France, shows that capital has been, and is,
employed to its fullest legitimate extent. If, then, such
has been the course of trade generally, it is our principal
object to ascertain how the shipping interest has been
affected, as it would scarcely seem that so large an increase
of trade could be attained without giving a great stimulus,
to shipping, and yielding a handsome return for capital
invested therein. It may therefore at first appear startling
to say that the past year has been, on the whole, far from
satisfactory to shipowners generally; in the first place, they
have had to contend with enhanced value of material,
advanced rate of wages, and high price of provisions;
moreover, war had stimulated the building of ships, especially
iron screw ssteamers, so that the return of peace rendered it
most difficult to find suitable employment. It is true, that
daring the last months of the war, government had been
paying off a large number of sailing transports, and the hire
of steam transports had been reduce ,l nearly 50 per cent.,
yet no trades could be 'found which would at once absorb so
large an amount of tonnage at remunerative freights,
and a steady decline took place in almost every direction,
more particularly in the Black Sea and Mediterranean
tracing, where the accumulation of tonnage was natu-
rally the greatest ; from this quarter a great portion
of the disengaged mole returned home in bal-
last, since when the home market has been
more or less under the incubus of demand exceeding the
supply ; shipowners were- however unwilling to entertain
the idea of permanently lower rates, and for a considerable
time the greater number of vessels were despatched seeking.
We ventured on more than one occasion to point out to our
friends the danger of such a course in the existing state of
trade, and we regret to say our fears have been too fully
verified. .As an illustration, we would point to a few
instance.q, viz., Calcutta, where freights have been as low
as £2 lss ; Bombay, where they declined to £2 10s ;
Singapore, to £3 ; Odessa, where 25s for tallow was
accepted ; Galalz, where vessels loaded at Os per quarter
wheat.; Alexandria, at 3a 6 per quarter beans ; and many
others equally
significant might be adduced. Our mer-
chants finding that they could eupplv their wants more
advantageously the other side, almost`ceascd chartering, and
thus while an enormous increase of iroportationehas taken ;
place to meet prosperous markets, we think it would not
be too muph to say that on the whole the shipping interest has

during the last six months been conducted at a loss, and
has been outward freights, more eFpecially as rega-ds tht
Mediterranean, that have alone saved the shipeiwner
Having thus taken a general view of the operations of the
past year, we wouli eo w draw attention to some of the
principal sources of employment.
In connection with the East India trace more particu-
larly, it is of the highest interest to note the rapid and steady
increase of American tonnage, which is without parallel, and
which now divides with our own the carrying trade from
this quarter. In the year 1846, the tonnage of the United
States was 2.658,000, at the close of 1856 there were
4,871,652 lons engaged in active•seevice ; during`the eleven
months ending 30th November 1,333 vessels of 1;262,517.
tons under this flag had entered .inwards in the United
Kingdom, as against 1,125 vessels of 1,078,014 tens in the
corresponding period of the former year, while 1.438
vessels of 1,341,370 tons had cleared outwards, as .against
1,228 .vessels of 1,165.793 tons in the same period in 1855.
being.an average of about 930 tons per ship in the tonnage'
reported this year. This leads us to remark that we are
glad: to observe amongst our American friends that the rage
for building vessels of enormous size, as well as those of
extreme sharpness is giving place to a desire for mare ser-
viceable craft, and more adapted to the general purposes of
trade. A very large proportion of the Esit India trade,
as well as that from the Chinches, is now being
conducted in American bottorne the direct trade of the
United Stites being far fronradequate to furnish employ-
ment for the immense amount of their own tonnage.
Another very important trade in which we have largely
chartered American shipping has been in that of rice from
Alcyab, whence it is computed that in the past year upwards
of 160,000 tons have been exported to the United Kingdom
aid continent. In connection with the chartering trade
with the United States we look with the most sanguine
anticipations to the probability of telegraphic communica-
tion in the ensuing summer ; as yet our American friends
are at this great disadvantage, that merchants are unwilling
to wait the long course of post for the completion of
charters, and they will seldom send out orders except at
rates below those current for ships that can be immediately
fixed ; a system of speculation in charters for the round has
thus lieea projected which has,in many cases, been disastrous
to American shipowners.
The grain trade has, of course, furnished a very large
field of employment for flags of all nations ; 7,317,442 qrs.
of grain, and 3,601,814 cwt. of 11 tur having been imported
in the eleven months to the 30th November, as against
.5,219,166 qrs: wheat, and 1,661,075 cwt. of fl sur, in the same
period of 1855; and, there is every reason to conclude that
our importations this year, will be equally large, for irre•
spective of our o sts want, there has been, and will con-
tinue to be a very large drain to the Spanish and
Portuguese ports, owing to the failure of the crops in both
those countries.

Neither the West India nor South American trades call
for particular notice, es having furnished any unusual
employment for shipping; a good average amount of business
has been done in both, and the rates of freight fairly sup-
ported. Tee failure of salt in Cadiz and Lisbon, has lately
much interfered with our chartering home with wet hides
from the. Plate and Rio Grande, as great difficulty has been
experienced in getting the usual outward cargoes of salt
from either the above ports, or the Cape de Verds.
The result of the timber trade will naturally be looked
to with much anxiety, more especially by our Norwegian
and Swedisit friends, the flags of these countries taking so
large a proportion of this traffic; and we are glad to fnd
that our total imports of last year were 2,338,000 loads, as
against 1,836,472 loads in 1855, being an increase of nearly
25 per cent, and nearly reaching the imports of the yeor
before the war (1853), when the imports were 2,525,5a8
loads ; in the Q iebec trade alone, allowing for seeoni
voyages, about 600 vessels, of an aggregate of 312,00)
tons, were employed, the total arrivals for cargo being 90/
vessels of 471,444 tons, while in 1855 the whole artivali
were 677 vessels of 346,449 tons, showing a balance in
favour of last year of 230 vessels, of a total of 124,995 tons.
To the other North American provinces the trade was,
conducted last year in 127 ships of 8,434 tons, compared
with 121 ships of 8,910 toes in 1855. Scarcely any trade
is so immediately affected by a high value of money as that
in wood, and it is, therefore, the more satisfactory to find
it assume such a healthy proportion. Notwiths'anding
this serious obstacle in the past year, and although the
prospects for the ensuing season are good, yet we fear there
is nothing to justify the exe:ctation that freights will open
this storing above the rates of the last, and we may be
excused again cautioning our Norwegian friends not to
overstand their market as they did last year to their serious
regret, notwithstanding our timely warning.
Having now shown the general results of commerce, and
their hearing on several important branches of the shipping
interest, we subjoin a return -of the clearances of vessels
inwards and outwards from the 'Milted Kingdom, showing
not only the general increase of trade but the rezpectiee
flags by which it was conducted, and great as is this increose
it will occasion the less surprise, as we have already pointed
out; the aggregate expansion of trade; in the first eleven
months • of 1856, 28,147 vessels of 7,558,416 total tons
were entered into the II :fled Kingdom, as compared with
25,892 ships of 6,327,005 in 1855, and cleared outwards
theie were in the same period of 1856 38,867 ships of
9,001,755 tons, as against 34,993 ships of 7,856,750 total
tons in 1855.

• We have now but to speak of the value of shipping as a
Question of investment, and when the dearness of money
and the low rates of freight prevalent during the greater
part of the past year are taken into consideration, this
desription of property has maintained its value almost
beyond cur expectations, British built vessels of high class
being now fully as dear as at this period last year; Colonial
built ships have however met with less favour, and have
f-equently hung heavily on the market, even at a decline of
lOs. to 12s. 6d. per ton ; for good second hand ships
hoWever there has been throughout a steady demand,.and
at quite as good prices; for those adaPted to the timhs.
trade we have met with a ready sale, principally amongst
our Norwegian friends; there has however been n con-
siderable glut r 4 iron screw steamers, which is not to be
wondered at, considering the hurry and recklessness of cost
with which this description of craft was called into
existence to meet the temporary demands of war; the
neces,ity of finding some employment for this class of
tonnage has forced it into trades which must have left
serious losses, for although the auxiliary screw may be
applied with advantage to large ships for some voyages, yet
the ordinary screw steamer, from its greater cost both in
maintenance and working, together with the necessity for
dispatch in both loading and discharging cargoes, renders
it ill adapted at present for the ordinary purposes of
commerce.

Thtts much of the past—it may now be expected that
we cffer some opinion of the future, and without indulging
in any over sanguine expectations with reference to, special
events, we think the general asrect of things, the great
elasticity of trade, its soundness and profitable return,
justify us in expectin a steady improvement on the depres-
sion of the last six months; at the same time bearing in
mind that the supply of tonnage is even now in excess of
the demand, and that the producing power both of this
county, the United States, and the British North Amer-
ican colonits, is greatly increased, it would be unwise
to calculate on more than that shipping will in the ensuing
year yield a fair and adequate return for the capital and
labour thus invested. GOODLIFFR & SMART.
