BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FnmAy.

After the news of the success of Stradella over The Mar-
quis, nothing else was talked of for the Chester Cup. For
the Two Thousand Guineas, Hospodar and Brick were
in great force ; all the money that could be obtained at 7 to
1 was taken about the latter. For the City and Suburban
Handicap, Argonaut and Buckenham were in most re-
quest; and the layers of 50 to 1 agst Catch'exn Alive,
although not so numerous to-day, were tired out, and offers
were made to take 100 to 6 about him for the Metropolitan.

The death of the venerable Thomas Kaye Bon-
ney, M.A. archdeacon of Leicester is announced.
The deceased was 80 years of age, and was appointed to the
arehdeaconry in 1831. It is somewhat singular that this is
the third death which has taken place in the family during
the last four months, his brother, the Archdeacon
of Lincoln, having died on Christmas Eve, and his sister,
Nis Bonney, on the 11th of February,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

BO W•STREET.
STEALING A CLOCK,--Richard Sullivan was charged
with stealing a clock from the shop of Mr. Sharp, in the
Strand.

The prosecutor said—This morning the clock (produced)
was standing safe on the counter, and in a short time after-
wards missing it he went into the street, when on turning
up Bedford-street he saw the prisoner standing in a door-
way, stooping down over the clock, endeavouring to conceal
it. He collared him, and a struggle ensued, when a con-
stable came up and the prisoner was secured. The value
of the article is about £7.

Prisoner—Will you swear you saw the clock in my hand ?
Prosecutor—Yes, positively.
.._. .

Prisoner—Well you aint particular then. (Laughter.)
How could I have the clock in my hand when you said I
was standing over it ?

Prosecutor—You were stooping, and had one hand on the
clock, and with the other you appeared to be getting a
handkerchief to cover it with.

Prisoner—How could I be feeling for that I hadn't got,
(Laughter.) Your worship, he never saw it in my hand.
Mr. Corrie—l don't think that point of much importance.
The question is, how did the clock come in the doorway?
It could not have walked there. (Laughter.)
Prisoner—Well, clocks sometimes goes weryfast. (Laugh-
ter,) I say he did not see it in my hand.

The police constable who took the prisoner into custody
said he saw the prisoner and prosecutor struggling, and
when he found a robbery had been committed he seized the
prisoner, who resisted capture very much.
Prisoner—Because they said I'd stole the clock.
Mr. Corrie—You were indignant at such an accusation.
Well, what have you to say to the charge.
Prisoner—Well, I'm a poor man, and I try to get my
living honestly. (Laughter,) I'll be obliged if you'll settle
this here.

Mr. Corrie—ls that all you want to say. I shall not dis-
pose of the case here.

Prisoner—You won't ? Then, in course, I says nothing
if you're going to send me to the sessions.

Committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CARRIAGE TRIEVES.—Two lads named George Allen
and George Williams, both living at a lodging-house in
Artillery-row, Westminster, were charged before Mr.
Knox with stealing from a Hansom cab in Regent-street, a
lady's cloak.

From the evidence of Mark Stokes, a shoeblack boy, it
appeared that while in Regent• street the previous afternoon
with his box, he saw a Hansom cab with two ladies drive
up to No. 240. He opened the door of the cab for the ladies,
and they got out, and having moved a short distance off he
saw Allen put his hand into the cab and take out a cloak
belonging to one of the ladies. He pursued the prisoner
Allen, crying " Stop thief," and ea w him drop the cloak,
and a constable then took him into custody.
Ewer, 166 C, said that hearing cries of " Stop thief," he
joined in the pursuit of Allen, and took him into custody in
Saville-row. "Williams interfered in Allen's behalf, and
he then took him into custody, believing he was a companion
of Allen's.

The first witness said the two prisoners were near one
another before the robbery.

Inspector Silverton said one of the ladies attended at the
station, and although he explained the matter to her she
declined to sign the sheet. There had been numerous rob-
beries of the kind lately, and there was every reason to be-
lieve the prisoners were regular carriage thieves. They
were remanded.

WESTMINSTER.
THE PREVALENCE OF SMALL-PDX AT PIMLICO:---RE-
FUSAL OF A MOTHER TO HAVE HER CHILD EITRIED.—
Immcdiately after the magistrate had taken his seat on the
bench this morning, Dr. Aldis, of Chester •place, Chester-
square, who is the officer of health appointed for St.
George's-square, addressing him, said " I have felt it my
duty sir, to apply to you on public grounds for your advice
and assistance. It is with respect to the interment of a
child, three years of age, who has died of small-pox, and is
now lying at 12, Spring-gardens, Pimlico. The child is
there exposed in a small back room occupied by its father
and mother and three other children, and there are not
only 26 souls in this six roomed house, but it is situated in
a very crowded locality in which the small-pox is very
prevalent amongst the humbler classes. Under these cir-
cumstances it is most highly essential for the sake of the
public health and safety that this child should be removed
and interred, to prevent the influence of contagion. Efforts
have been made to effect this, but in vain. Mr. Badderly,
overseer of the parish, informed me that although
the father of the child was anxious 1 hat the child should
be removed and buried, the mother positively refused to
allow it. Mr, Badderly sent Osborne, who has charge of
the funerals of the parish, to take away the child. He
placed it in a coffin for that purpose, when the mother took
it put again, and restored it to its cradle or cot, and several
Irish persons of the neighbourhood having collected, in-
timidated him by their threats, and he felt compelled to re-
tire. 1 myself subsequently went in with Mr. Grant and
tried to persuade the mother to let the child be removed,
but she refused, although her husband pressed the remo-
val. I must only repeat that it is of great importance that
the child should be immediately interred."
Mr. Selfe was of opinion that the father had the power
to order the removal of the child, which was, as Dr.
Aldis had said, highly necessary, and he thought that
there could be no impropriety in the police accompanying
the parish officers and see that there was no breach of the
peace upon the removal of the child.

THAMES.
HOUSE-BREAKING AT WOODFORD.—CharIee Jones, a
very tall man, described as a carpenter's labourer, who has
been a burglar and thief for many years, was brought up
on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with breaking
into the residence of Mr. William Groves, a surgeon at
Wood'ord, in Essex, and stealing therefrom two ;pistols
valued at two guineas each, two lenses worth £l2, and
other articles.

On Sunday afternoon last the residence of Mr. Groves was
entered, and a mahogany case, containing two pistols, two
lenses, and other property. were stolen from a room on the
ground floor. The police did not trace the property or dis-
cover the thief, but on Monday last the prisoner offered ono
of the stolen pistols in pawn at a pawnbroker's shop. The
pawnbroker's assistant sew at once that the pistol was a
valuable one, although the prisoner asked for a loan of 6s.
only upon it. The prisoner was questioned, and he gave so
many contradictory statements of his possession of the
pistol
and the way he came by it, that he was given into
custody, and Mr. Woolrych remanded him for the unlaw-
ful possession of the pistol, which was now identified by
Mr. Groves, who detailed the circumstances of the robbery
commit ted at his residence on Sunday last, and said as there
was still another pistol missing and other valuable pro-
perty stolen which had not been traced, he hoped there
would b© another remand.
_ _

Police-sergeant Blackwell, of the H division, also pressed
for a remand, and said the prisoner had been convicted bs-
fore, and was aslangerous character,
The prisoner declined saying anything, and
Mr. Partridge said the case was no longer one of unlaw-
ful possession, but resolved itself into a charge of house-
breaking and robbery in the day time. He remanded the
prisoner until Thursday next.
THE NEW MAGISTRATE.—This was Mr. Partridge's
second day since his appointment, and he promises to be an
invaluable magistrate. He is shrewd, a good lawyer, and
dispatched the more trivial charges with great
celerity. He is well acquainted with all the Acts of
Parliament which confer extensive summary powers
on Justices of the Peace, and is very cour-
teous to everyone. Mr. Partridge's previous training as a
stipendiary justice at Wolverhampton has well qualified him
for the duties of a police magistrate, but if he would imi-
tate the conduct of his predecessor, Mr. Selfe, and com-
mence business at 10 instead of 11 o'clock he would confer a.
great boon on the public. Some consideration is also due to
the reporters, officers of the court, and others attending the
court. Mr. Partridge, after being one hour only in the
court yesterday said it was very close, and ordered the
windows to be opened. This day he again complained of
the tainted atmosphere of the court. If Mr. Partridge
wishes to preserve his own health and the health of others
he will cause better ventilation to be adopted in the court.

The general annual meeting of the shareholders
of the Credit Mobitier Company was held on Thurs-
day. The report was presented by M. Isaac Pereire, pre-
sident of the board. The meeting, on the proposition of the
board, fixed the dividend for 1862 at 125 f. ; 25f. of which
were paid on the Ist of January last. The consid&rablo
extension which has been given to the business of the com—
pany renders indispensable an augmentation of the capital
at its disposal. That increase will be effected either ity
means of an issue of bonds or by doubling the number of
shares. Negotiations have been opened with the French
Government on the subject, and will be shortly brought to

ATONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Money Market still presents a quiet and
very easy appearance, the best bills being negotiated
as low as 31 per cent.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
been about £389,600, and the exports £608,500.
The traffic receipts on the Bengal division of the
East Indian Railway for the week ending the 18th
January last, on 604 miles, represent a total amount-
ing to £13,665 95., and for the corresponding week
in the previous year, upon 3201 miles, they brought
£7,531 7s. It will thus be observed that while
there has been no great increase or decrease in the
revenue, the business may be regarded as good, al-
though of a rather stationary character. The tonal
sum received by the North West Provinces Division,
on 279/ miles, for the same date as above, was £6,315
2s. ld., while in the corresponding week of last
year, on 243/ miles, it represented £3,851 3s. 7d.,
showing also a steadier, but not progressive business.
The following very interesting calculations are
extracted from Messrs. Joseph Travers and Son's
circular :

IMPORTS AND CONSUMPTION OF COCOA, COFFEE,
SVGA'S., AND TEA IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY..--FTOIII
the foil wing accounts it will be seen that, with the excep-
tion of tea, the importations of these articles were larger
than in the corresponding month of last year, and that in
the consumption of cocoa and sugar there was an increase,
while in that of coffee and tea there was a diminution.
