ROBBERY OF A VISITOR TO TEE GREAT EXHIBITION.
—John White, a young man apparently under 20 years of
age, and who refused to give any address, was charged
before Mr. Burcham with stealing a watch, the property of
Mr. Joseph Strickland, who carries on business near Leeds.

From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that
about half-past nine o'clock last night as he and a friend,
a townsman of his, were returning from the Exhibition,
they passed along Union. street with the intention of getting
an omnibus going to Kingeland, where they wore at pre-
sent lodging. They met a procession of some description
on the way and stopped to allow it to pass, when ho felt
somebody leaning against him, and immediately afterward.
his friend said " Look to your pocket." He put his hand
in his waistcoat pocket and discovered that his watch (a
silver one) had been abstracted, bat the chain was left
dangling by his side. His friend then caught hold of the
prisoner, who said, " Oh yea, you can search," and he was
given into custody. He identified the prisoner as the party
who had pushed against him, although he had not seen
him previously. His friend pointed him out as the man
who had stolen the watch.

William Pickens, also from Leeds, proved to having been
with the last witness in Union-street last night, and saw
the prisoner lean against him. He said to the latter that
the prisoner had taken his watch, and seized the prisoner
who was going away quickly. _ _ _

The prisoner denied the charge, and it appeared further
that when taken to the station• house, 2s. 6d. was found on
him but not the watch, but nothing was known about him,
although it was suspected that he was one of the numerous
gangs of thieves which infest the Borough and the neigh-
bourhood.

On the application of Sergeant Frazer, the prisoner was
remanded for a week in order that some inquiries might be
instituted respecting him, and the prosecutor was bound
over to appear against him at the next Surrey Sessions,
which will take place on the 15th instant.

GLASGOW, Aug. 30.—Cotton.—We have had a
daily advancing cotton-market during the past week.
Almost every lot offered has been picked up, and the ad-
vance on American cotton since this day week has been
fully 3d. per lb. The market closes very strong, with a
still upward tendency. Goods and Yarns.—Yarns are
commanding high prices, the advance during the last fort-
night being fully 3d. to 4d. Goods are also realizing
higher prices. Iron.—The pig-iron market was very
strong on Monday, a. large business getting done in war-
rants at 565. 3d. to 575. 3d., cash. The price has since fluc-
tuated between 565. and 565. Pd. To-day the tone was weak
on American news, a few thousand tons changing hands at
56s3dtos eashclosing rather sellers at the latter rates ;
while forward delivery parcels could have been had very
low in proportion. G.M.13., No. 1, 555. 6d. ; No. 3, 545.
