THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1655.

Mr. RICKS could not fail to be aware of all

this, and yet, with an imprudence not easily to
be surpassed, he must publicly admit its correct-
ness, and urge the farmers of the district into
perseverance in their old course. If they want
to prosper, he in effect tells them they must go
on withholding information as to how many acres
they have devoted to cereal growth, or what has
been the yield, so that the ignorant people may
be entrapped into giving high prices. Tells them
this iu the ear of an anxious public ; nay, carries
his imprudence so far as to clinch his counsel by
bidding them " look at present prices, and
say whether it was probable they would do
better, or even as well 1" Tells them so much
while the price of the quartern loaf is distressing
anxious housekeepers, and bread riots in Hyde-
park excite the apprehensions of the timid with
regard to the coming winter ! Pestilent advice
enough, but more injurious friendship that which
exposes to destruction the goose that lays the
golden egg. He could not be content with their
enjoyment of a good thing obtained at the expense
of the suffering masses,,but he must let the cat
out of the bag, and make the public as wise as
himself—must make it known that the present

It appeared from the evidence that last night abut
half-past 11 o'clock, the prisoner was walking along
Leman-street, Whitechapel, when he was accosted by
two women, who made some overtures to him. He re-
pulsed them, and said he would have nothing to do with
them. Directly afterwards, and before the prose-
cutor had well got rid of the women, the prisoners
and two other ruffians came up to him, one
of them seized him by the collar of his coat
and another by the neck.. He struggled with
the villains, and released himself, and one of the
fellows then struck him a violent blow with his

who was in the house, said, " Let me look at the watch."
Witness handed it to him, when he said he would give
him 20s. for it, and at the same time walked out of the

be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—

UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—CAUTION TO
THE PUBLIC AGAINST PURCHASING WATCHES OF
HAWKERS.— William. Edmunds, a decent-looking man,
described as a labourer, was brought before Mr.
A'Beckett, charged with stealing a watch, purporting
to be a silver one, from Joseph Lyons, under the fol-
lowing extraordinary circumstances
The prosecutor, who was attired in the garb of a
sailor, with large bushy whiskers, said he was a licensed
hawker, and resided at Mile-end, New-town. Last
evening, about seven o'clock, he went into a public-
house, in Duke-street, London-bridge, to treat an old
friend, and wanting a little money to do so, he took
his
watch out and offered to sell it for 30s. The prisoner,
who was in the house, said, "Let me look at the watch."
Witness handed it to him, when he said he would give
him 20s. for it, and at the same time walked out of the
house with it, and refused to return it. A constable
came up at the time, and he gave the prisoner into cus-
tody.
The prisoner declared that it was all false as to his
intending to steal the watch. The tact is, the prosecu-
tor thought he had money, and could impose upon him,
consequently, when he got hold of the watch, he called
the constable, so that his imposition should be exposed.
His worship would see that the watch was block tin,
washed lightly over with silver, and of the coarsest
make. It might have done for a drunken man.
Police-constable 462 said he was on duty in Duke.
street, last evening, when the prisoner called him over to
the door of the public-house, and handed him the watch,
saying that the prosecutor attempted to sell it him, but
believing it was a " duffer" he would not buy it. The
prosecutor then said that ho should give the prisoner
into custody for stealing his watch, and he then took
him to the station-house.
The prisoner said that the prosecutor actually followed
"
him up after he had said he would give him 20s. for it,
"
but on looking at it he saw it was a duffer and he
gave it him back. Ile, however, handed the watch again
to him (prisoner) and said he would take 15s. for it,
when he called over a constable and gave him the watch.
The prosecutor then gave him into custody for steal-

ing it.
Mr. A'Beckett, to the prosecutor—How much is this
watch worth?
Prosecutor—About ten or fifteen shillings, sir. I,
however, would have sold it for the latter sum.
Mr. A'Beckett, after examining the watch, said under
the circumstances, which looked rather strange on the
prosecutor's part, he did not think any jury would con-
vict if he sent the prisoner for trial. He should there-
fore discharge him with a caution to have nothing more
to do with public-house hawkers.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

The Journal de Geneve reports :—" Enlistments for
the Foreign Legion in the pay of England are proceed-
ing very actively in Berne, and the police have not
hitherto interfered to prevent them ; on the contrary,
many of our functionaries consider it fortunate for the
country to get rid of a considerable number of strong
and robust men, who are unable or unwilling to earn
an existence by working. I cannot tell you if overtures
were made to the Federal Council on the subject ; but
if I am to judge by the result of the enlistments thus
practised underhand, there is no necessity to embarrass
the Federal Council by an application for leave to re-
cruit in Switzerland, the operation succeeding perfectly
well without it."

The Senate of Lubeck has just issued a prohibition o:
foreign enlistment in that free town. Prussia has pub.
lished prohibitions in Treves and Magdeburg.

We understand that the visit of their Majesties the
Emperor and Empress of the French to this country
will most probably take place about the first week of
April. The visit, as at present arranged, is to be one
of a private character.
ILLNESS OF THE COUNTESS OF CA.nrdsra—We regret
to learn the venerable Countess of Carlisle has been
attacked by severe illness and but slight hopes are en-
tertained of her ladyship's recovery. Lady Dover left
town last week for Castle Howard, Yorkshire, to attend
the sick chamber of her mother ; and since then, on
Monday evening, a telegraphic message was received in
town, summoning the other members of her family to
the Earl of Carlisle's country seat. The Duchess of
Sutherland left Stafford House yesterday morning for
Castle Howard. The Earl of Carlisle and Lady Caro-
line Lascelles are also at Castle Howard.

DRAMATIC READING.—EAST evening Mr. Adolphus
Francis gave the seventh of a course of readings at the
Sussex Hall, Leadenhall-street. The piece selected was
Sheridan Knowles' play of Virginius, in rendering which
Mr. Francis enchained the attention of a select audience
from first to last, and gave general satisfaction. The
characters were well individualised ; and where stirring
declamation was required ho came out in great force.
His elocutionary powers are of a high order.
THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE COALITION CABINET.—
We are enabled to state that Lord Lyndhurst has un-
dertaken to bring the whole question of the conduct of
the Government, in connection with the gross mismanage-
ment of the war, be, before the House of Lords, within
a few days of the re-assembling of Parliament. The
country will rejoice to learn this fact ; for, although the
noble and learned lord is now in his eighty-fourth year,
his perceptions are as clear, and his mind is as vigorous,
as they were half a century ago. The subject'could not
be in better hands, as every one will admit who remem-
bers the brilliant speech which his lordship made last
session, when he denounced the Czar in terms of the
most scathing kind, and pointed out, with a terrible ac-

MARLBOROUGH-STREffT-(THIS DAY.)

DARING WATCII ROBESET.—EIiza M'Donald, a wo-
man of the town, was brought before Mr. Bingbam,
charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of
Moses Dingle, carpenter, 6S, High-street, Marylebone.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that
about 11 o'clock last night he was proceeding along
Coventry-street, when the prisoner, who was in com-
pany with other women, placed herself suddenly in front
of him, and, before he was aware of her intentions, she
threw.her arms round him and broke his watch from the
guard chain and ran off. As soon as he recovered from
his surprise he went in pursuit, calling out " Stop thief,''
and at the corner of Windmill-street he came up with
her and detained her until a constable arrived, when he
gave her in charge.
Cross, 197 C, heard the cry of police, and, on going
to the corner of Windmill-street, he saw the prosecutor
struggling with the prisoner, whom he accused of steal-
ing his watch. Witness conveyed her to the station,
where she was searched, but nothing found upon her.
The prosecutor was the worse for liquor at the time, and
prisoner, when she ran off, no doubt passed the watch
to some of her companions.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded
until Monday next.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To•day's market was very moderately supplied with
English wheat. For all kinds we had a dull incrairy, at
Monday's currency.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was by no moans
extensive, was dull, but we have no change to notice in its
value.

Floating cargoes were mostly held above the views of
buyers.

ihe barley trade was in a depressed state, yet we „Ilave
no further decline to notice in prices.
Malt =et a dull sale, at barely late rates.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, and the
quotations were with difficulty supported.

MONEY MARKET'

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLTGEN(

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK,

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
were estimated at from 0,000 bales, including
1,000 American taken for export. The market
closed very firmly, but with less animation. The
sales comprised 5,060 American, 150 Pernam and
Maranham at sid. to 7d., 70 Bahia at 50. to
6id., 200 Egyptian at Sid. to Bd., and 500 Surat
at 3id. to 41d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm.
The advices from New York, just telegraphed
from Liverpool, give the rate of exchange on Lon-
don about the same, but it would appear that busi-
ness was improving.

Accounts from Vienna state that the monetary
Congress there had broken up without coming to
any decision, and it is supposed that the difficulty
in the way of bringing about a uniform metallic
currency for all Germany is considered insuperable.

The Bavarian Government has demanded from
the Chambers a credit to cover the expenses and
eventualities which have arisen and may arise out
of the present war, and mobilising the army.
The report of the directors of the London and
Westminster Bank, to the proprietors, this day, at
their half-yearly meeting, John Lewis Ricardo,
Esq., in the chair, was as follows :
"The dfrectors have the pleasure to report that—
after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts—
paying the Income Tam—setting apart 2,0001. towards
the new buildings in Lothbury and Bloomsbury—and
presenting a gratuity of ten per cent, on their salaries
to all the officers of the establishment—the net profits
of the Bank for the last half-year amount to 75,3181.
10s,, which, added to 13,9001. 19s. 5d., unappropriated
from the profits of the preceding half-year, make a total
of 89,2194 9s. sd.
" Out of this sum the directors have allowed interest
on the rest or surplus fund, at the rate of 5 per cent., and
they now declare a dividead to the shareholders at the
rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and also a bonus of 5 per
cent. upon the paid-up capital.
"After these payments are made, there is a balance
of 2,9541. 2s. 5d., whiclas been transferred to the rest
or surplus fund.
"The directors who go out by rotation are John Gar-
ratt Cattley, Esq., James Dennis De Vitre, Esq., and

themselves for re-election."

A NEW MORTAR BOAT.

The Messrs. Wigram, of Northam, near Southampton,
are constructing a mortar boat for the use of the English
Government. The dimensions are 70 feet in length, 23
feet beam, and 9 feet 4 inches depth, and will be equal
in burden to a vessel of 170 tons. This boat will carry
one 13-inch mortar slung in the, centre of the deck on
two pivots, thereby preserving its elevation and disposi-
tion in heavy seas. The vessel will be ready for use in
April.
