FEMALE HIGHWAY ROBBERS.—Mary Ann Williams,
a pale-faced girl, about 17 or 18 years of age, was brought
before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing a silver watch
and gold chain from the person of John Everett, a young
man residing at No. 32, Church-lane, Limebouse.
The prosecutor is afflicted with paralysis, and has
been so from his birth, and incapable of making any
resistance. His father is a sailm a' boarding-house
keeper, and last night he was going through a new
neighbourhood in Poplar when be was accosted by the
prisoner and another female near the Hero of Waterloo
public house. They commenced talking to him, and he

tried to shun them. They mocked his infirmities, and
one got behind him and the other in front and hustled
him. He tried to get away from them, but they
would not let him, and the prisoner suddenly
snatched his watch and carried it away, guard and all.
He tried to seize the prisoner, who handed the watch to
her companion, and shoved him down. The woman
then ran away. He pursued them and ca;led out as
well as he couid for the police, and a constable came up
and took the prisoner into custody. The other woman
got away with his watch and chain. The value of both
was above 51.

Mr. Ingham asked if the unfortunate young man was
quite sane ?

George Windeat, a police-constable, No. 98 K, said
that Everett was palsied from his birth, and he always
expressed himself imperfectly ; but his father, a respect-
able man, said his son was an invalid, but of perfectly
sound mind. He knew the young man a long time, and
he never knew him to do wrong. Witness apprehended
the prisoner at 9 o'clock last night, in Gough-street,

Ilr. Ingham said it was a most cruel robbery, and
remanded the prisoner till Thursday next.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise and by land carriage the arrivals of English
wheat fresh up to-day were very limited, and the show of
samples was small. For all kinds we had a slow inquiry,
at Monday's quotations. Rather over 6,030 quarters of
wheat have arrived from abroad, but chiefly from New
York. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and the cur-
rencies were almost nominal. Floating cargoes were quite
as dear as on Monday.
There was a steady business doing in malting and other
kin is of barley, at full currencies.
Malt was in fair supply and steady request, on former
terms.
We were well supplied with foreign oats. On the whole
ihe oat trade was steady, at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts in to-day's market was
very moderate, and mostly in low condition, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. We were
but scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off steadily
at fully late rates. The best Downs readily produced ss.
per 81bs. We had rather a large supply of calves in the
market, and the 'real trade ruled heavy, at a decline of
from 6d to 8d per 81bs. Pigs sold slowly on former terms.
Mulch cows were dull, at from 141. to 191. each, including
their small calf.
