NEW COURT.

Mary Ann Dowel was indicted for stealing, on the 19th
of June, in the parish of St. George's in the East, nine sove-
reigns, the property of Robert Mitchell, from his person.—
Guilty.
George Smith was indicted for stealing, on the 3d July, n
St. Paul's Churchyard, a reticule, containing various articles
of property belonging to Rosanna Ward, from her person.
The prisoner said he was in the utmost distress, and was
starving, at the time he committed the offence; and his wife
was on the eve of her confinement.—Guilty, but recommended
to mercy.
Sarah Scott, 16, and Mary Norwell, 15, were indicted for
stealing, on the 24th June, in Whitecross-street, a watch and
chain, the property of Michael liyams. It appeared in evi-
dence that the prisoners came into the shop of the prosecutor
at nine o'clock in the morning. There was no person in the
shop but a little girl, and the watch being on the counter, in-
stantly disappeared. The prosecutor, on his return home,
missed his watch, and it was found at a pawnbroker's in the
neighbourhood, where it was pledged the same day. The
jury acquitted Scott, but found the other prisoner guilty.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY; TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A meeting was held yesterday of the holders of South Sea
Stock, and the usual dividend was agreed to. The Sub- Go-
vernor informed the meeting that the negotiations with Go-
vernment for indemnifying the Corporation, in consequence of
the abolition of the South Sea duties, were still pending, and
that there was not,much chance of their being;brought to a close
until the next Session of Parliament. A letter was read at
the meeting from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating
that in consequence of the demise of the Crown, the arrange-
ments for the indemnification of the proprietors must be post-
poned.
Up to the present hour we have no account of the arrival of
the New York Packet, which is anxiously looked for by the
American merchants.

Although there is a great deficiency in this Quarter's Re-
venue (near nine hundred thousand pounds), it has not af-
fected the funds this morning, owing to its having been anti-
cipated by the state of our commercial affairs with America ;
which has also had an effect throughout Europe. Indeed,
the prevailing idea in the City was that t would have been
to a greater extent.
There were reports of mercantile failures in the course of
yesterday, but this morning we did not hear anything further
on the subject.
Money continues scarce ; but the dividends become payable
on Saturday, when no doubt it will be more plentiful, and dis-
counts will be more easy to the commercial community.
