SOUTHWARK.

IMPUDENT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—john King, a thick-
set, powerful-looking young man, well known to the
police as a notorious thief, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with stealing a silver watch from
James Merryman, under the following daring circum-

stances :

The prosecutor, a seafaring man, stated that on Sa-
turday evening, about seven o'clock, he was standing
near the Pear Tree public-house, in the New Cut, when
the prisoner suddenly ran up against him and put his
hand in his waistcoat pocket, where his watch was. He
immediately put his hand down and found that the watch
had been brokea from the guard-chain, and at the same
time the prisoner ran away. Being satisfied that he had
stolen his watch, he pursued him and caught hold of him
in White Horse-street, Cornwall-road, where they had
a desperate struggle. A constable, however, came up
at the time and secured him. In cross-examination by
the prisoner, the prosecutor said that there
were several persons about him at the time
the watch was snapped from him ; but he
distinctly saw the prisoner put his hand in his waistcoat
pocket and break it from the chain. On running away
he had every opportunity of passing it to other parties.
Henry Moxton, 35 L, a very active and intelligent
officer, stated that he was on duty in the New-cut on
Saturday night, when he heard cries of " Police " pro-
ceed from Waite Horse-street, and on going there he
saw the prisoner and prosecutor struggling together.
Knowing the prisoner well as a notorious thief he seized
hold of him, when the prosecutor gave him into custody
for stealing his watch. He with some difficulty secured
him, and conveyed him to the station-house.
Mr. A'Beckett said it was a very daring robbery, and
he should commit him for trial at the next Surrey
Sessions.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LioDs, Oct. 19.—There Las not been any change of
moment in this branch of business during the present
week. Sales have not been large, and have been limited
to a supply of the current requirements of the manufac-
turers. Prices are quoted without any material altera-
tion, but in actual sales there is a turn in favour of the
buyers.
BRADFORD.—The shipping houses are transaoting a
very fair business in manufactured goods, but for the
home trade there is next to nothing doing. The prices
obtained of late for combing wools are firmly maintained,
there appearing no prospect of decline, and demand is
somewhat more limited. The yarn trade remains steady.
HALIFAX—For a few days subsequent to our last
Friday's report, there was some mitigation of the very
depressed tone then noted. Now, however, we are com-
pelled to remark there is, for the present at least, acon-
siderable relapse, and scarcely any business casn
thebe
effected in wool. The little that is doaneysehrz

evince a very cautions and shy bearing ; thougb, in

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A TRADESMAN. —Daniel Harley
and Patrick: Sweeney, Irish labourers, were brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent as-
sault on Mr. Charles Lambert, a shipping butcher, re-
siding in the West India-road, near Limehouse church.
Mr. Lambert, whose dress and hat were covered with
mud, stated that last night, a few minutes after he came
from church, ho was passing along the Commercial-
road, in company with a friend, when they saw the pri-
soners advancing towards them. He and his friend
parted to allow them to pass, when the prisoner rushed
at him with all his force and pushed him with great
violence into the gutter. He was much hurt by the
fall, and his hat and clothes covered with the sludge
and muck of the road.
Sweeney here said he was tipsy and knew nothing of
the matter.
Mr. Yardley—Then let me tell you at once that,
if you were tipsy, it is an aggravation of your of ence,
not an excuse.
Roche, the gaoler, said Sweeney bad been charged
before for committing a violent assault_

GIJILDHALL.

Henry Wkeefer, clerk, and John Robert • Watt were
charged, before Sir John Magney, with stealing from
the premises of William R. Currey, bottled beer mer-
chant, Silver-street, Wood-street, a bottle of ale, value
6d., and a bottle of stout, value 4d. The prisoners were
both respectably-dressed men, and Watt was formerly
in partnership with the prosecutor.
Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchannan, for the pri-
soners.

The prosecutor deposed that in July last Watt en-
tered into partnership with him in the business then
carrying on at 148, Aldersgate•street, but which was
dissolved about 4 months afterwards. Witness after-
wards permitted him to use the counting-house for his
own purposes, and had continued to collect the partner-
ship debts up to the present time. The two prisoners
were at his counting house, and, from information he had
received, be gave them into custody for stealing bottled
beer. He followed them to the station-house. On the
way Wheeler said Watt gave him the beer to carry to
his home. When searched a cork belonging to a pint
bottle was found on Wheeler. A quart bottle of stout
had been taken from him at the counting-house. He
identified the cork as his from marks on it.

John Gregory, a jobbing porter, deposed that he was
placed in the prosecutor's cellar, on Saturday afternoon,
to watch. Between 4 and 5 o'clock Wheeler entered
the cellar and turned on the gas, went to one of the bins
and took up a bottle, examined it and replaced it ; he
then took a pint bottle of ale from the next bin and put
it into his left-hand pocket ; he turned the gas off and
left ; he shortly after returned and went to the next
vault but he was unable to see what he did ; he left the
cellar. A few minutes after Watt came into the cellar,
took a quart bottle, and put it into his pocket and went
out.

Mr. Lewis asked for a remand to complete the case.
Mr. Beard said he should not object, and should re-
serve his defence till the next hearing.
The prisoners were accordingly remanded on bail till
Wednesday next.

" ESTIMATE OF THE PRODUCE.

"We calculate today that about 200,000 passengers
travel backwards and forwards by the ships that traffic
between the coasts of England and France. We believe
we are within the mark when we say that this number,
when the tunnel was completed, would not only be
doubled, but would be augmented in a much more con-
siderable proportion. We have an example in the rail-
ways, which surpassed the anticipations of all when the
lines were in full working order.
" The quantity of pit coal consumed in France an•
nually is about 80,000,000 of metrical quintals. Of this
quantity, according to the last statement of importa-
tions, England furnishes 8,000,000 ; Belgium, 25,000,000 ;
Rhenish Prussia, 5,000,000. no amount of the cost of
transport alone ought to be 20,000,000 francs.
"Now, we may reasonably hope that our railway
could count upon more than 10,000,000 quintals. The
facilities which our mode of transport by the tinsel
would offer would, doubt, d, AO enable the ED glieb coal to

EGYPT.

A supplement to the second number of the Egyp-
tian Spectator, a new journal just issued at Cairo,
contains the following :

CAIRO, Oct 8.
Extract from the circular communicated by the local
government to the consular authorities :
" Messieuzs les Consuls,—As the Ni!e has not reached,
this year, the level of its usual rise, and as a part of the
lands have not been flooded, there 'is reason to appre-
hend that the next harvest will not be sufficient for the
food of the inhabitants. Foreseeing this, the govern-
ment of his Highness the Viceroy, whose first duty is to
secure subsistence to the inhabitants of Egypt, has be-
lieved it indispensably requisite to prevent a scarcity by
prohibiting the exportation of corn. As, on the other
band, his highness does not wish to injure commercial
operations already commenced, be has deigned in this
sense to grant a delay of three months from the date of
this present, on the expiration of which term the.
rexpotation of corn will be interdicted, and no ship Will
be allowed to load with corn, unless it be previous to
that period freighted with one-fourth of the cargo,

THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

Considerable consterra`ion has been caused during the
last few days amongst the einplog6es at the Post-office,
in consequence of a rumour being circulated throughout
the department, that half of the " compensation" money
granted to the body at the period viken the salaries were
revised, WAS to be taken away. It appears that there
was, moreover, good grounds for the statement, inas-
much as some of the officers were summoned before the
comptroller and informed of the intention of the :Autho-
rities to make the reduction in question. Since then,
however, a counter meter has been issued, and in some
instances the men have been told that they will not be
iotelftred with at present, but that the matter remains
in abeyance for a short time. This appears to be a very
singular, and indeed an unprecedented proceeding, and
one certainly of a character likely to cause no small de-
gree of dissatisfaction throughout the establishment.
Why such a step has been proposed, it is not easy to
learn ; nor is it possible to guess accurately. Such,
however, is the fact. It does seem to be very bard that
the men in the Post-office, who receive the lowest. amount
of wages are the very first upon whom the official pared-
mony those in the higher classes escaping every-
thin, except the income-tax. If it could be shown that
these inferior offices are too highly paid, there might be
some reason for the reduction, but as this cannot be
done such a step appears to savour in no small degree
of inj
ustice, and is likely to do no small damage to a
service where unanimity and good feeling between the
overa,l classes of officers is most desirable, and indeed
really essential to the welfare of the establishment and
the good of the community at large.—Morning Adver-
tieer.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

We had a very limited supply of beasts in to-day's mar-
ket, yet the demand for all breeds was heavy, and the quo-
tations were almost nominal. Very few sheep were oa
sale, but there was literally no trade for them. In prices
we have no change to notice. The best Downs were held
at 5s per Sibs. The show of calves was trifling, end the
veal trade ruled heavy, at uncertain currencies. The best
calves were considered worth 5s 6d per 81bs. Pigs were
dull, and nominal.

Mitch cows ruled Leavy, and scarcely a transaction took

THE N.EW .AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP.

With the launching of the steamship C. Vanderbilt
will be inaugurated, in the western hemisphere, a new
era in ocean navigation scarcely less marked than when
the steam-ship Atlantic, of the Collins line, was ushered
into her appropriate element. The C. Vanderbilt is the
first of a class heretofore deemed almest apocryphal, and
at least quite impractical, by ship-builders in general.
Her dimensions and power are much greater in propor-
tion to the Atlantic's and the Africa's than are the latter
to the Great Western or Sirius, which were substantially
the pioneers to ocean steam navigation. Her cost will be
about 700,000 dollars. The extreme length of the hull is
335 feet, and the length at the water line is 32$ feet,
the breadth of beam is 49 feet, the depth of hold 33 Net.
She is of 5,100 tons burden, carpenter's computation, or
about 4,000 tons register. The water-lines are nearly
straight, and the centre of displacement amidships ;
indeed, the centre of the ship, the centre of weight,
and the centre of buoyancy, fall within a distance
of eight feet fore and aft. The main deck is of great
capacity, even in comparison to the size of the ship.
This is owing to the fullness of her lines. Her lower
decks, of which there are two, besides the boiler deck,
are of the same character. The floor is nearly fiat, and
is formed entirely of solid white oak, each timber being
15 by 21 inches, bolted together lengthwise of the ship,
with one inch and a quarter bolts seven feet long; 60
tons of these bolts are used. The frame timbers, which
are principally of white oak, are placed unusually close
together, and are strapped diagonally by 94 tons of
wrought-iron strape, which are bolted
of

TIIE RIIGELEY MURDER,—The report of the death of
Palmer, who has been committed for trial at the Stafford-
shire assizes, charged with the wilful murder of Mr.
John- Parsons Cook, his companion upon the turf, is
without foundation. Palmer is yet a prisoner in the
Stafford Gaol, waiting the termination of the analyses
upon the stomach and intestines of the prisoner's de-
ceased wife and brother, which have been commenced by
Dr. Taylor, of Guy's Hospita'. The police are making
another and more strict search for the missing betting-
book of the deceased, Cook—the discoNery of which, or
any trace of it, will be an important fact in the case.
With a view t 3 the recovery of the book, articles and
places apparently the most unlikely to form the secreting
place of such a thing are being overturned and openi4

Her dimensions and power are much greater in proper-
tion to the Atlantic's and the Africa's than are the latter
to the Great Western or Sirius, which were substantially
the pioneers to ocean steam navigation. Her cost will be
about 700,000 dollars. The extreme length of the hull is
335 feet, and the length at the water line is 323 feet,
the breadth of beam is 49 feet, the depth of hold 33 feet.
