MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PARISH PROSECUTION OF A BROTHEL KEEPER.—
Anne Melville, a stylishly dressed female, was ohm ged be-
fore Mr Tyrwhitt on a warrant with keeping a brothel at
32, Oxendon-street,

The prosecution was instituted by the authorities of St.
Martin's parish, Mr Robinson, from the Vestry-clerk's
office, attending for the prosecution, and Mr Abrams for the
prisoner.
Sergeant Appleton, 26 (.3, proved Melville, the prisoner,
as the keeper of 32, Oxendon-street---a brothel.
Mr Abrams said the house was shut up now.
Mr Robinson sail the warrant contained the names of two
persons, one of whom, named Williams, was tried at the
sessions yesterday, and he had to ask that the prisoner
might be sent to the sessions to be tried at once, a true bill
being found against her.
Mr Abrams objected to this, as the sessions would be over
that day, and he had to ask that the usual bail might be
taken, there being no, reason to suppose she would not sur-
render. _ _

Mr Robinson said ho had to ask that the usual bail might
not be taken, as the prisoner had kept out of the way of the
police.
Sergeant Appleton said the prisoner had been keeping out
of the way, and it was not till yesterday that he ascertained
her whereabouts.

Mr Abrams said he was glad to see the authorities of St.
➢iartin's were acting with something like firmness, and not
selecting the smaller houses, and allowing the women of the
larger ones to escape.
_ _ _

Mr Tyrwhitt said he thought the usual bail would do,
and committed the prisoner to the next sessions, fixing the
bail at £BO for the prisoner, and two sureties of £4O each.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. The produce was re•
ceived in good condition ; nevertheless, the trade for all
qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's currencies.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
amount of business transacted was very moderate, yet no
change took place in prices, compared with Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.
The market was fairly supplied with barley. Good and
fine malting qualities moved off slowly, at previous quota-
tions; otherwise, the trade was dull.
The malt trade was very dull, at fully the late decline in

prices.
The supply of oats on sale was large. In most descrip-
tions a good business was transacted, at Monday's currency.
Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas the trade
was quiet, on former terms.
The demand for flour was by no means active, at pre-
vious quotations.

TEIGNMOUTH, DEVON, Tuesday Evening.—lt is
blowing a heavy gale on this coast from the east-

ward, causing a tremendous surf on the beach. Last even-
ing
the lifeboat of the National Institutian went out with
the view of rendering assistance to the schooner Victoria, of
this port, which was found in a perilous
position, with the
sea running fearfully heavy, off this place. The lifeboat
remained by the vessel, and the crew afterwards boarded
the schooner and assisted in pumping her out, and in bring-
ing her to the harbour in safety.
HEAVY GALE ON THE WELSH COAST.—Porth-
cawl, Tuesday.—A terrific easterly gale, says Captain
Buchan, R.N., has been blowing since 10 a.m. on Sunday,
with but slight intermission. We are making a floating
dock, &c., but last night our navvies could' not work, all
their fires, lamps, &c., being blown out. I fear we shall
hear of much damage amongst the poor shipping, worse
even than exploding gunpowder works, and truly that was
aw ful enough.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.—The Gover.
nor and Committee of the Incorporated Society of
Licensed Victuallers [having accepted, for.the children of
the school, ;130 in number, the kind invitation of Profes
sor Anderson, the Wizard of the North, to attend his
famous n a
esmagical,s a performances,
e n
Saturday
neat,
at
ti paythree
o'clock, for
a visit to
that purpose. A full and startling programme is announced
for the occasion, not the least wonderful portion of which
will be Miss Anderson's exhibition of clairvoyance. The
children will be accompanied by their band, under the
direction of Mr Blackman, of the Blackfriars-r ad, their
honorary bandmaster; and it is expected that several ladies
and gentlemen interested in the school and the children
will also be present.
THE ENGLISH PRINCE OF BOOKBINDERS.—The
obituary of November 20, 17 orq
--, records :—" In
Duke-street, St Martin's, died Mr Roger Payne, the cele-
brated bookbinder, whose death was a last regret to the
founders of magnificent libraries. This ingenious man
introduced a style of binding, uniting elegance with
durability, such as no person has ever been able to imi-
tate. He may be ranked, indeed, among artists of the
greatest merit. The ornaments he employed were chosen
with a classical taste, end in many instances appropriated
to the subject of the work, or the age and time of the author,
and each book was accompanied by a written description of
the ornaments in a most precise and curious style. His
chef d'ceuvre is his 44
.2E,ebylus," in the possession of Earl
Spencer, the ornaments and decorations of which are most
splendid and classical. The binding of the book cost the noble
earl 15 guineas. Those who are not accustomed to seo book-
binding executed in any other than the eoromon manner, can
have no idea of the merits of the deceased, who lived without
a rival, and we fear, has died without a successor. his re•
mains were decently interred in the burying-ground of St.
Martin's in the Fielde, at the expense of a respectable and
upright bookseller resident in that parish, to whom, in a
great measure, the admirers of this ingenious man's per-
formances may feel themselves indebted for the prolonga-
tion of his life, having for the last 8 years (with that good-
ness of heart for which his family is distinguished) provided
him with a regular pecuniary assistance for the support of
his body and the performance of his work. What adds to the
credit of this is,that this poor man had not a proper command
of himself ; for, formerly when in possession of a few pounds,
he would live jovially, when that was exhausted, almost
famishing. It may be proper to remark that, although his
name was spelt exactly as his patron's, he was not related
to him." Thus modestly has his biographer informed us
of the name of the famous and truly benevolent bookseller,
who for many years supported, and when dead, so respect-
ably interred him, Ile was his namisaite, although in no
way related to him,—City Press,
