THE EXPERIENCE OF A— PROFES-
SIONAL TRAMP.
" Yer see," he deigned to explain to me, after he
had dispatched his supper, " I likes. change. I sum-
mers in the country and ~winters in London. There's
refuges and ressipockles (by which I presume he
meant receptacles), "in winter time, and lots of
coves as gives yer grub. Then comes spring time ;
I get passed to my
parish,—the further off the
better,—and I gets a penny a mile. When I gate
there I goes cross country.lon quite another track.
I knows every union in
England. In some they
gives you bread and cheese, and in some broth, and in
some skillygolee. In some they
gives you breakfast
in the morning, and in some they does'nt. You have
to work your bed out. Here, Kingston way, you
wheels barrows ; at Guildford you pumps ;.Fks
at
Richmond you breaks stones ; at Farnham you picks
oakum ; at Wandsworth they makes you grind
corn in a handmill till your fingers a'most drop off at
yer wristea. At Brighton, now, they're a good sort,
and onlyp makes you chop up firewood ; but Porta-
mouth s the place. You're a young un," he pursued,
looking at me benignantly, " and green. Now,
/11 give you a wrinkle. If you're a going to
Portsmouth you manage to get there on a Satur-
dayyou do no work, and they
night, for, they keeps you all day Sunday,
and they wont let
gives you the jolliest blow-out of beef and
Caters as ever passed your breastbone. The
taters is like dollops o' weal." ...... " Why

de them ere
nothing to sell, and they're only a bother to walk in,
unless you was to put some wet grass in 'em. Look
at my trotters," he continued, pointing to his feet,
and tapping the sole of one of them with the blade of
his knife, " thev'se as hard as bricks, they is. Go
buff-steppered, that's the game." Some remnant of
Master Somebody's pride in his neat Bluchers mu2t
have lingered about me, for I declined the Inv itatica to
walk barefoot. " When shoes is shoes," pursued the
tramp, argumentatively,
" they're good for those as
likes 'em, which I don't ; but when they re 'crab-
shells,' and leaky and gummy in the soles, and lark-
heeled, the sooner you get shut of them the better.
.There's togs, too," he pursued, looking with proper
pride at his own attire, "the sooner you peels off them
cloth kicksies the better. There ain't no wear in
'em, and they'se no good, if you ain't on
the flash lay. My jacket's Guildford Gaol ; my trou-
sers is Dartford Union ; and my flannel shirt is the
Society for the 'Ouseless Poor. When I can't patch
'em no longer, and they gets all alive like, I tears up.
Do you know what ' tearing up' is ? A course you
don't. Well, I goes to a union a night, and I rips up

into bits every' mortal bit I has upon me. Then
they comes in the morning, and they puts me into a I
sack, and they puts me in a cart and takes me afore
the beak. Tearing up is 21 days, and quod meals,
which is mind ye reglar, is good for a cove, and freshens
him up." Here he sat down on a milestone ; and,
producing a remarkably neat housewife case, pro-
ceeded to overhaul all parts of his apparel with is
much care and circumspection as if they had been of
purple and fine linen, catching up any stray rents and
" Jacob's ladders," with a grave and deliberate coun-
tenance.—Dickens's Household Words.

COMMITTAL of a NOTORIOUS BURGLAR.
A notorious burglar, named Moggs, one of a gang of
desperate ruffians who have long infested the neighbour-
hood of Frome, and who, after eluding justice for a long
period, was recently captured through the activity of
Newport, one of the Frome constables, has been fully
committed for trial by the Frome magistrates on two
distinct charges. On the premises of the prisoner being
searched there were found on them no less than seven
bags of skeleton keys, containing 130 altogether. They
were concealed in a floor under the loft, and lying by
ti.,em was a pair of knitted socks, such as housebreakers
wei:Nr over their shoe 3 to prevent noise; they were wet,
and Ow fresh grass upon them clearly showed that they
had been recently worn. The occurrence created con-
siderable excitement in the town of Frome, and the
streets we're lined with people, in the same manner as
when the prisoner with his companions Hurd and Spar-
row were in custody on suspicion of being the mur-
derers of the girl Watts at Key ford. The prisoner ap-
peared much dejected, The evidence given against him
was similar to t hat upon wbioh Sparrow and Hurd have
already been transported. In the case of the robbery of
Mr. Plaister's wa rehouse it was proved that a man
named White, who was watching his garden to prevent
depredations on the night of the 12th of June last, saw
the prisoner and Sparrow get over a wall and go to the
door of the wurehouse. White ran and got the assistance
of three other men, and on returning caught the prisoner
Maggs and Sparrow coming out laden with a bag con-
taining cheese; a struggle ensued, but though the goods
were captured the thieves succeeded in getting away.
Two caps belonging to the prisoner and Sparrow were
also found; they were so mada as to form a disguise for
the face. The prisoner was folly committed for trial,
and this formidable gang is now broken up.

Benares, and 37s to 39s 6d for good to fine.
FOREIGN.-To-day there was no public sale of Fo-
reign Sugar, and privately business of the least moment
was prevented by the stiff rates asked. Floating car-
goes and duty paid parcels are wanted at last week's
rates. For a cargo of brown Bahia 178 per cwt refused.
MOLASSES.-Beveral purchases have been again
made in West India, but without producing any ad-
vance, Barbadocs and Antigua selling at 14s to 15s,
and other kinds 12s 6d to 13s. Some business
has been done in Bengal and Mauritius at 12s to

Foreign continues to attract little notice, Bahia and Para
can be obtained at 25s to 265, and Guayquill 33s to 34s
per cwt. Stock still remains less than last year.
COFFEE.-Tins afternoon there was a reluctance to
operate in Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and prices rather
declined. The public sales of 200 casks and 170 bags
went off flatly; low mid to mid at 54s to 58s, fiine to
fine fine ord 49a to 535, corn to good ord 47s to 48s, and
triage 42s to 475. For native there is a dull market,
and 300 bags were taken in at 43s for good ord, with
buyers at 425. Mocha is much wanted, and stiff rates
are: obtained; at public sales 10 bales and 82 hlt-bla
sold at 78s to 78i; 6d for good clean garbled, and 88s per
owl for long berry rather ragged.
TEA.-AlthouAh Congou has been in good request for
home comsumption, and several parcels having again been
taken for exportation, with a less quantity on offer
than last week, still a desire is evinced by some par-
ties to sell at the terms of that period. Sales of un-
sound have been made at 7d to 7Ad, low to good ordi-
nary sound 74d to Bid, rather blackish leaf to blackish
leaf 9d to 101 d, strong and Pekoe sorts lid to Is 6d
per lb; the lower sorts remaining most in demand. Of
Pouchong stock is nearly exhausted, and rates rule firm
at 5d to lid for clean. In Oolong several transactions
have taken place, common to mid at 9d to 11d, good to
fine is to is 9d. Fine Souchong is scarce, and much
required at Is 3d to is 10d, and orders are increasing
for other sorts, rates rule at 10d to is 2d for mid to
good, and low 8d to 91d. In true and fine Green
Tea large transactions have taken place, prices are
well sustained, and the market has a firm appear-
ance. For common Canton orders are small, and
there are sellers upon low terms. Of Flowery Pekoe
many parcels have been sold, and there is a firm
market. Caper is yet little required, there are
sellers in boxes at 9d to 11d, and Scented 7d to is 3d.
For common and mid Scented Orange Pekoe a dull sale
exists at 8d to 11d, in good to fine many purchases have

luctance to operate in Ginger, and at public sale 60 es
Calient only in part found buyers at 32s to 50s for ord
to good; and 30 brls Jamaica, low to mid 37s to 45s
per cwt.
SPIRITS.-Prices have not advanced for Jamaica Rum
although large parcels have been taken for shipping and
home consumption ; there is, however, a plentiful sup-
ply of lower qualities. The rates accepted for choice
sorts 36 to 39 per cent over proof are
3s 6d to 4s ; for fine 2s 10d to 3s 4d ;
32 to 36 over good middling to good 2s 4d to
2s 9d, and mid 30 to 40 over 2s 2d to 2s 3d. Demerara
has been in excellent request, and quotations are firm at
2s to 2s 3d for 33 to 40 over. Of Leeward Island few
parcels are to be obtained, and there are several buyers
at is 6d to is bid proof. East India is wanted;
supply keeps scanty, and prices range firm at is 5d
to is sid proof. Several buyers of Havannah at is 4d
to is 4id proof, and the quantity here is trifling.
A free sale exists for Brandy, and prices are higher for
older sorts, new fully sustaining previous terms. We
quote Cognac best Brandy of the Vintage as follows:-
1851 at 5s 4d to 5s 6d, 1850 ditto 5s 6d to 5a Bd, 1849
ditto 5s 10d to 6s, 1848 ditto 6s 2d to 6s 4d, older 6s 6d

8d to 8s 9d, and 22 ditto at 8s 2d to 8s 3d per gallon.

full rates; 560 cfics Australian sold 39s 6id to 41s 6d
for mutton, bred 39s to 40s; and 220 casks of South
American 36s to 40s 6d per cwt.
Seal Oil purchases are limited for all pur-

Cod is offering at 321 10s, and few buyers are to be met
with. Prices are prevented from declining for South-
ern, supply being small; there is a reluctance to ope-
rate, and rates rule at 311 lOs to 341 103 for low to fine.
Sperm met with little attention, and can be obtained at
841 to 861 10s, there being a fair supply. Headmatter is
871 to 901. A greater demand exists for Palm,
rates are higher and rule at 288 6d to 30s per cwt

quest, and a further rise is looked for. Ceylon

INDIGO.-The quantity
auction on Wednesday next has been increased to
21,600 chts; still the market is in a favourable position,
exporters and home dealers being desirous to operate, and
prices rule 6cl to 8d per pound above last quarterly sales.
Since that period nearly 7,000 chts have been disposed of;
indeed at present terms some of the loading holders will
not sell. Spanish is wanted, and the previous advance
of 6d per pound is well sustained. Prices for Guatemala
rule at 3s 4d to 5s 6J, and Carracas 3s tid to 5s 8d per
