TWO O'CLOCK
Letters, by way of Guernsey, from Rio Janeiro, of the
27th March, twelve days later than the last accounts, were
received yesterday; they state that trade was exceedingly
flat there. Exchange 231- to ; the Bonds bad got up
to 69 70 ; the packet was to have sailed on the above
day. No political news.
A dreadful catastrophe has just spread consternation in
the town of Guildres ; the town of Grendringer was, on
the 18th, partly consumed by fire, above fifty houses, the
Reformed Church, and all the archives, became a prey to
the flames ; none of the inhabitants perished, but the loss
of an immense quantity of cattle is to he regretted.
Consols continued steady, most part of the morning, at
92t for the account, but a Stock Exchange report pre-
vailing of a very unfavourable description with regard to
his Majesty, caused the market to recede to 92i-, sellers;
since which Consols have resumed their former price,
92f and 921 for money, owing to the above report
not being confirmed.
In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds continue to im-
prove, and have been done at 35i to 36. Spanish Bonds
have also got up to 191 f. In Shares, Anglo Mexican

It is not true, as stated by a Sunday Paper,
and copied into your Paper of to-day, that the Duke of
CLAKENcE was not admitted to an interview with his
MAJESTY on Monday last. His Royal Highness was ad-
mitted to a long interview with the KING on the Monday,
and again on the Tuesday, at part of which latter inter-
view the Duke of WELLINGTON was present.—To-day
his Royal Highness had another long interview with his
MAJESTY; and also their Royal Highnesses the Princess
AUGUSTA and the Duchess of GLOUCESTER. They ar-
rived about one o'clock, and they still (at five o'clock
r. ac.) remain i❑ conversatien with his MAJESTY.--Morn-
ing Herald—Windsor Correspondent.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of
GLOUCESTER visited the British Diorama and Physiorama,
at the Royal Bazaar, Oxford-street.

LAW INTILLIGENCI.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
LORD V. COOPER AWD SPRATT.

This was an action to recover the sum of 5001. The
short facts of the case were these. The plaintiff had ad-
vanced the sum of 5,0001., secured upon the bills of lading
of a large quantity of wool, and a policy of insurance on the
same, to a person of the name of O'Brien. The wool ar-
rived in due course from Spain, and was deposited in the
warehouses of the defendants. The petitioner sold the
wool, but upon applying to the defendants to deliver up
the wool in their possession, the defendants set up a claim
on behalf of Laughton and Co., in respect of part of the
wool ; and the plaintiff, before be could get possession of
the property in question, was compelled to pay to the de-
fendants for Laughton and Co. the sum for the recovery of
which the present action was brought.

Mr. Por.Locx and Mr. ALEXANDEB. were Coun.el for
the plaintiff.
Mr. CAMPBELL, on the part of the defendants, int.,r-
rupted Mr. Pollock, observing, that he could prove a lien
on the wool on the part of Laughton and Co., previous to
the transaction between O'Brien and the plaintiff. The
Learned Counsel then called Andrew Laughton, jun., a
member of the firm of Laughton and Co., who proved that
they had advanced to O'Brien 2,000/. in the beginning of
1819, the amount of which was secured partly upon the
bill of lading of 112 bags of wool.
Mr. POLLOCK confessed that this evidence put him out
of Court, and he must therefore submit to a nonsuit.
The plaintiff was then noosuited.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

John Barnes, a respectable-looking man, aged 30, was
indicted fur stealing, on the 21st of April last, sixty-one
silver plates and other articles, value 4001. the propel ty
of the Marquis of Bath. The prisoner formerly lived in
his Lordship's service as under-butler.
Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
ALLEY and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the prisoner.
Edward Bronishy stated that he was steward to the
Marquis of Bath. The prisoner Lad been in the Marquis's
service more than two years; he left in April last, and
was succeeded by a person named Hare. The Marquis's
plate was kept in a strong closet, made for the purpose,
which was opened by a secret spring. The prisoner,
from his situation, must have been well acquainted with
this spring. The plate was missed on the 22d of April.
On the night previous, from seven o'clock to between
ten and eleven, the prisoner was at the Marquis's house.
Witness saw him in the porter's-hall. The prisoner's
lodgings were searched, but no part of the stolen property
was found, or any trace of it.
Cress-examined by Mr. ALLEY.-The prisoner left the
service of the Marquis of Bath of bis own accord. He
always supported the character of an honest inclastrious
servant.

John Bagwell, a porter to the Marquis of Bath, stated,
that about seven o'clock, on the 21st of April, the prisoner
came to his Lordship's house ; be went down stairs to-
wards the pantry where the plate was kept : he was gone
about half an hour. Witness had no conversation with
the prisoner.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.-Witness let the
prisoner out on that night. It sometimes happened that
more than two hundred persons called at his Lordship's
house during the day. The prisoner always maintained a
goad character.

- William Freeman was in the service of the Marquis of
Bath. Saw the prisoner at his Lordship's house on the
21st of April ; be was then in the pantry where the plate
was kept. He was at that time by himself. Witness
was not in the pantry all the time the prisoner was there.
Henry Hare examined-L-1s under-butler to the Mar-
quis of Bath, and succeeded the prisoner in his situation.
Witness had been cleaning the missing plate on the 19th
April, and put it into the strong closet on the afternoon of
that day. There were 61 silver plates and other articles
lost. Saw the prisoner at the Marquis's house on the
night before the plate was stolen.
Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Witness had been
in England about fourteen mouths. He was responsible
for the safety of the plate, and in consequence was natu-
rally anxious to clear himself from blame, and to charge
it to any one that he could suspect.
Mr. ADOLPHUS-Of com se ; and as you have been
asked such a question, I must ask you one far form's sake.
Did you steal the plate ?—(Laughter.) Witness—No,
certainly not. The prisoner and him had always been
good friends. At the time of the robbery the house was
in considerable confusion by the illness of Lady Bath.
Ebenezer Thurgood—About half-past nine en the even-
ing of the 21st of April saw a man feeling about the lock
of the outer door of Lord Bath's house. Witness told the
steward of this circumstance.

Cross-examined—ls confident that man was not the
prisoner. _

John Ackwell examined—ls coachman to Dr. Warren.
While waiting for his master in Grosveaor.square, on the
night of the 21st of April, he saw a person stoop down,
and lift something tied up in a cloth from the area of
Lord Bath's house. Witness did not see any one in the area.
Cross-examined—The prisoner was not the person who
took up the parcel.

. .
Susannah Cox, housemaid to Lord Bath, proved that
the prisoner was at his Lordship's house on the 21st April,
until past ten o'clock.
Henry Thompson, a publican, in Duke-street, Grosvenor-
square, was passing Lord Bath's house, about ten o'clock.
Saw a person pick up a parcel from the area: Had
known the prisoner three years, and was confident he was
not the man.

Robert Gardner, a police-officer, searched the pri-
soner's lodgings. Not the least trace of the articles missing
was discovered.

This was the case for the prosecution.

Mr. ALLEY submitted there was not sufficient evidence
to go to the Jury.
Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said he should certainly leave
the case for the decision of the Jury.
The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, merely
declared that he was innocent of the charge against him.

The Marchioness of Westmeath, and several other wit-
nesses, gave the prisoner an excellent character.

Mr: Baron VA uGHAN summed up the evidence at great
length, and the Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The announcement of this verdict was received with
clapping of hands and other demonstrations of joy by the
prisoner's friends, a number of whom were in the gallery.

- -
Mr. Baron VAUH GAN—Shame ! Shame ! We are not
in a theatre : such conduct is disgusting, and if repeated
I shall immediately order the persons to be turned out of
Court. Prisoner, you have had a narrow escape.
The prisoner was then charged on a second indictment
with stealing six glasses, value 31., the property of the
Marquis of Bath.
(This trial was proceeding when our reporter left.)
