MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A poor woman, in a great fright, applied to Mr. Chambers
for an assault warrant. She lived, she said, in Grosvenor-
mews, and while in her room that morning she was alarmed
at the sight of a monkey that had contrived to make its way
unperceived into her apartment. The animal skipped about,
meddling with everything it could lay its paws upon, and at
last it found its way to the cupboard, where a " day's" food
bad just been stowed. There was likewise a morsel of
Irish butter. Both description of viands the monkey seized.
The gambols of Pug, after his refreshment, became so annoy-
ing, that attempts were made to effect his capture. The ap-
plicant, however, was soon convinced of the inutility of her
efforts, for Pug finding himself bard pressed, jumped on her
back and began biting her clothes with great ferocity. One
of the lodgers, in addition, had an infant in arms so fright-
ened by the monkey that whenever it was put down the child
went into fits.

Mr. CHAMBERS could not grant a warrant against the mon.
key, but would direct one of the officers to bring the owner
before him.

Ina short time the owner made his appearance. He ex-
pressed his regret for what had occurred, which in some mea-
sure was unavoidable, as the monkey had got loose from its
fastenings. He added, lam a modeller by trade, and as many
noblemen and gentlemen wish to have the figure of a monkey
on some piece of ornamental furniture, I keep the animal to
model from. Howexer, I have no objection to promise that I
will immediately get rid of it, by sending it to the Zoological
Gardens.
Mr. CHAMBERS—And, in addition, I hope you will give the
poor woman something to buy food with, for your monkey. ate
up all her allowance of parish bread.
The owner of the monkey promised to do as requested, and
Pug, who had his tail in a tin cannister, will henceforth have
his rambles restrained by Zoological cages.

New York, Aug. 24.
FROM RIO JANEIRO AND BUENOS AYRES.--We have seen
Rio Janeiro Papers to the 26th of June, brought by the brig
Cervantes, from one of which we translate the following pa-
ragraph:—
" BUENOS AYRES, JUNE ..—Things here are assuming a
serious aspect. The Government has already purchased seve-
ral vessels to be armed as men-of-war, and has appointed Ad-
miral Brown to command the squadron. It is said that for
the present our flotilla will confine itself to the protection of
coasting vessels against the launchers of the blockading
squadron. This will inevitably bring on a conflict which will
be the precursor of a war with powder and hall, and not with
protocols, such as we have had hitherto. Report says posi-
tively that Admiral Brown, has addressed a rote to the com.
mander of the blockading.squadron, demanding the withdrawal
of a vessel stationed at Martin Garcia, for the blockade of the
Uruguay,and adding, that if this should not be done, he would
go and look. after her. It is not known what was the reply of
the French commander, but it cannot be doubted that it would
be in the negative. We shall see what will follow. Our port
is being fortified, and there is much difficulty in dispatching
le:ters."

Advices from Buenos Ayres, nine days later than the above,
have been received at Baltimore via Monte Video. The
b!ockkde still continued, and nothing had occurred since the
date of the paragraph just quoted, to change the relations of
the two disiident powers.

" LATE REVOLT AT HAVANNAII.—The New Orleans Ameri-
can of the 14th inst. mentions the arrival at that port of the
schooner Liberty, from Havannah, the captain of which vessel
states, that a very large number of arrests had been made in
the city, and it was thought a good many more would take
place. The Government of the city was supposed to be per-
fectly safe, and nearly all the arrrests were very private. The
whole island of Cuba, it is added, night now b e considered
tranquilized, and supporting the Queen's Government. Ad-
vices from Porto Rico to the Ist instant, received in this city,
report that island also as being perfectly quiet.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday afternoon, Henry Myers, against whom a war-
rant was issued by the Coroner in July last, charging him,
along with Mrs. Angelina Pow (acquitted at the last Sessions
of the Central Criminal Court), with the wilful murder of
Thomas Davidson Pow, was brought to this office in the cus-
tody of police constable Benjamin Burton, 43 F, and placed at
the bar before Mr. Tw vroan. _ _ .

Mr. Burnaby, the clerk, asked the prisoner if it was he
against whom the Grand Jury had found a true bill, charging
him with the wilful murder of Thomas Davidson Pow ?
Myers—l am the person accused.
John Alexander Hall, a fringe-maker, deposed that he
knew the prisoner, who is the person standing indicted for
tho murder of Thomas Davidson Pow. He recognised the
prisoner in High Holborn about a quarter to two o'clock,
and pointed him out to the contable, Burton, who took him
into custody.
Mr. Phillipson, a gentleman who accompanied the pre-
ceding witness, gave similar evidence.
The prisoner said that he intended to surrender at the
commencement of the Sessions of the Central Criminal Court,
and was proceeding, when apprehended, to get some of
his witnesses subpoenaed. He would have surrendered last
Session, but, being advised by his Counsel, not to do so, he
did not come forward.

The constable deposed to taking him into custody.
The prisoner was asked if he had any thing more to say
at present. Myers—l shall reserve what I have to say until
the trial ; but, were I to speak, I might say a great deal.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

SATURDAY EVENING.—It appears by the letters from Liver-
pool and Manchcstor, that the branches of the Bank of Eng-
land in those places are extending their issues freely, thus ren-
dering the facilities for money unusually great, and giving the
first impulse probably to those speculations in stocks and
shares which act so powerfully on this market. In London
the Bank can do little or nothing in that way, and as the
issues in the north rapidly find their way hither, they may be
said to be rivals to themselves, and to increase the difficulty of
doing good and profitable operations in the metropolis. As
" man:,sgers of the currency," this can scarcely be styled a le-
gitimate banking operation, and it must encourage new issues
by the joint-stock hanks, ..tlready redundant, to ti dangerous
excess. The period is, however, e,:tremely favourable for those
who are still struggling under the difficulties in which the
late crisis involved them, and they can never have so good an
opportunity, if they have any basis of credit at all, for shaking
them off. The glut of money which preceded the crisis of
1836 arose from the over-issues, in the first instance, of the
country and branch banks ; and that this state of things should
fail to bring on another, is next to impossible.
Apartfrom such a result, which is perhaps yet too distant
to justify any reasonable hope of forcing attention to it, there
may be a great relief obtained to the pecuniary burdens of the
country by judicious management on the part of the Treasury.
A further reduction of the interest on Exchequer bills, which
are at almost the highest premium ever known, may be accom-
plished with perfect ease as soon as the proper period arrives.
The brokers who have commissions to purchase have been unable
in many instances to execute them for want of a sufficient supply.
The scarcity of Government stock of all descriptions is ex-
traordinary, and those who cannot buy are compelled to bor-
row from day to day, on which the money is advanced with-
out interest. All this is the more surprising, from the
circumstance that we arc threatened with a colonial war,
which must entail, at all events, a heavy expense upon the
country. Whether the fever will last sufficiently long for the
reduction of the Three and a Half per Cents. is perhaps ques-
tionable, but there could be no doubt of it if it lasted six
months, and that the Government were made subject to, what
they may fairly claim, no higher rate of interest than that paid
by individuals on good credit. It is not difficult to discern,
however, that the chief advantage of all this excitement will
e reaped by the United States.—Morning Paper.

THE PARKS, &c.

Yesterday, as usual, the Parks were thronged by imnOnse
crowds of individuals to visit the amusements on the ice,
which has now become so strong that few if any fears are
entertained for the safety of those who are willing to hold
their lives by so frail a tenure. In St. James's Park a greater
number had assembled than previously, and we understand
that, notwithstanding all the cautions and notices that have
been promulgated on the subject, the trees and shrubs planted
on the little islands have undergone further demolition at the
hands of a number of wanton and ruthless depredators,
whom every good member:of society will be glad to see se-
verely punished. Even the fine collection of aquatic birds
that have been the source of so much amusement to the re-
spectable frequenters of St. James's Park, have been, in
several instances injuriously molested ; and to such an extent
has this conduct been carried, that yesterday two unmanly
ruffians. had the audacity to attempt an indecent exposure of
a girl's person as she was amusing herself by sliding on the ice.
Amongst the distinguished promenaders present on the occa-
sion we observed Lord John and Lady Russell, wha ap-
peard to regard the sports with considerable interest.
The Serpentine again presented a most extraordinary and
animated spectacle ; not a spot, as far as the eye could reach
was left untenanted; and this dense mass of human beings,
gliding as if unpropelied from spot to spot, and performing
the most grotesque and fantastic evolutions, gave a strange
effect to the scene. The number of fashionable equipages
which graced the park during the day was greater, and far
more brilliant, than on any occasion since the commencement
of the season. Amongst those the four-in-hand of Si Ha
r rry
Peyton, driven by the amateur owner, cut a n;pst conspicuous
figure. There was also two royal carriages it, attendance,
containing the Duke and Duchess and Prince GcorgP of Cam-
bridge. At four o'clock the scene became beyond all descrip-
tion beautiful. Long after it became durk a number of daring
skaters continued their manceuvres on the ice ; but at fix
o'clock the weather became suddenly tempestuous, chasing
every one in search of shelter. The wind had again changed
to north-cast, accompanied by a fearful descent of sleet and
rain, which became frozen almost as soon as it had reached
the ground. This rendered it very dangerous to pedestrians
as well as to vehicles of all descriptions, and accidents were
occurring in almost every street.

M LNDA MUS.

Sir WILLIAM Fourr-r moved foraruleto show cause why a mandamus
should not be granted against the Town Council of the borough of Dart-
mouth, to compel them to pay Mr. Joseph Priddox, late Town Clerk, the
arrears of annuity of 136/. 14s. awarded to him by the Lords of the
Treasury, as compensation for the loss of his office, and to secure
said annuity to him by bond. It appeared from the affidavit
of Mr. Priddox, that, on the appointment of a new Town Clerk
in leis place, under the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act, he
sent do his claim for compensation, but instead of the sum which he de.
mended (5,0001), the Town Council granted him only five hundred
pounds. He appealed to the Lords of the Tressury, who
made an award in his favour for an annuity to the amount above stated,
but the Town Council had refused to comply with the Treasury
Minute, and had memorialised the Board to review it. Now he (Sir
W. Follett) apprehended that it was not in the power of the Treasury,
having once made the award, to review it.

Mr. Justice PATTESON, on referring to the Act, said that he was not
quite sure whether, under the construction which he took of it, the
Lords of the Treasury had not such a power.
Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT said that if his Lordship entertained any
doubt on the matter he would postpone the application to next term

dict entered for the plaintiff.
The COURT made the rule absolute that a ♦erdict should be

FINE ARTS.

We have just seen an engraving on steel, from a picture
by Creswick, of the Viaduct of Dutton, on the Grand
Junction Railway, which is well executed, and produces a
pleasing effect on the eye. The back-ground of the picture,
in particular, which forms a picturesque landscape, is
handled with much skill and spirit. The Viaduct, which

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
On Saturday a very dashingly-dressed femal*, who is re-
ported to be allied to nobility, was brought before the sitting
magistrates on several charges of swindling.
Mr. Churton, of Oxford-street, linen-draper, having parted
with two shawls to the prisoner, under false representations,
was sent to, and he appeared at this Office to substantiate the
charge.
The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday next.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The Calander possesses features which have hitherto been
unknown in the annals of metropolitan crime, and they may
be attributed to a variety of causes. Formerly there were al-
most constantly from 50 to 100 convicts in Newgate under sen-
tence of various terms of banishment, but it will be observed
that at present there is only one, a circumstance which never
before occurred since the prison was erected. Notwithstand-
ing- the considerable interval since the last session there are
only 150 prisoners committed for trial, which is an unparalleled
circumstance at this season of the year, and of this number ex-
actly two-thirds are charged with petty larceny, and from the
nature and trifling value of the articles stolen charity may infer
that destitution has been the parent of transgression. Another
remarkable circumstance is, that there is not a single person
charged with the guilty reception of stolen property.

COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, JAN. 9/,
In consequence of the partial thaw which took place on Monday and
Tuesday, Wheat and Flour might have been bought on rather lover
terms ; but since the latter day, when the frost again set in with muds
severity, the market has been in the same state as last reported. Wheat
on the spot has brought fully our last quotations, but the transactions in
that article and Flour have not been extensive, and the advance has been
paid with much reluctance, and by needy purchasers only. For Oate
there has been but a dull sale, with a moderate retail demand for Oat-
meal. Shelling has been in request for Yorkshire, but the quantitY
here is very trifling. Some enquiry for feeding Barley. Beans, Malt,
and Peas without variation in value. There was little or no alteration
in either the Liverpool or Wakefield markets yesterday, and at our Ex-
change to-day the same remark applies, business being confined altoge.
ther to the supply of present necessities, at the prices above quoted.

DERBY, JAN. 26.
We had a good show of samples at our Corn Market to.day. sale
very heavy. Best Wheat, 575. to 61& ; Fine Barley, 316. to 335.; Oato.
21.. to 265. ; New Beans, 325. to 363.; Old ditto, 40e. to 432.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—Jan. 27.

Our farmers brought a good supply of Wheat to this day's market,
but we had no coasting arrivals, and the whole was taken off at similar
prices to last Saturday. There are few samples of South Country Bar-
ley offering, and prices remain without alteration. Oats were in large
supply, and in fair demand, at last week's rates. Malt still meets a slow
sale, at our quotations. In Rye or Beans we can note little change ; but
for New White Boiling Pease there is some inquiry. For Flour WQ
have a fair sale, at late prices.

SIGHT AND HEARING.

DEAFNESS obviated by the invention of an ope-
rative VOICE CONDUCTOR, the size of a Seven-shil-
ling-piece ; it fits into the Cavity of the Ear, and the faintest Whis-
per breathed at a public assembly may be heard with distinctness ;
and Defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly
nvented SPECTACLE LENSES, immediately they are placed
before Weak and Imperfect EYE-SIGHT, either by Day or
Candle-light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
minute particle is seen with exact distinctness, by the use of which
both the Sight and Hearing becomes much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS have also made, after
thirty years' practice and experience, a most important discovery,
by a simple method, to remove Dimness of Sight, and certain cases
of Cataracts, without operation, pain, or inconvenience.
It will be requisite to observe 39, Albemarle-street, opposite the

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES.

OT. BETTS, and CO. respectfully request their
• friends not to postpone giving their Orders for the PATENT
BRANDY beyond the 20th instant, as the multiplicity of orders
from that time to Christmas, renders it impossible for them to re-
gulate their deliveries with hat punctuality which it has ever been
their anxious wish to observe.

The Patentees in consequence of the numerous imitators of the
Patent Brandy avail themselves of this opportunity to state that the
peculiar wholesome properties of their Brandy, attested by many
eminent Chemists and frequently published since its introduction in
1829, are secured by Patent Right, which in itself forms a sufficient
guarantee, if purchasers be careful to establish the identity of the
article.

The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
No. 7, Smithfield.bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa-
tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not
less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon,
for Cash on delivery.

MR PATERNOSTER'S CASE.-Mr. Paternoster, the gen-
tleman who was some time sgo taken to Finch's Lunatic
Asylum at Hammersmith, under very remarkable circum-
stances, was yesterday brought before Mr. CONANT and
Mr. COURTOY, charged with having assaulted Lovell
Sharp, one of the keepers belonging to the lunatic asylum.
The complainant said he was walking down the Quadrant
on Monday evening when he was stopped by Mr. Pater-
noster, who wished him to walk to an attorney in Basing-
hall-street. Complainant refused ; but he consented to
accompany Mr. Paternoster to the station-house. When
there, the inspector refused to take the charge, and com-
plainant attempted to go away, but he was seized by the
collar by Mr. Paternoster, and a scuffle ensued, which was
ended by the police.
Inspector Baker said he objected to take the charge of
Mr. Paternoster.

Mr. Paternoster then said he had no hesitation in ad-
mitting that be had attempted to detain the keeper, Sharpe,
for the purpose of causing a writ to be served upon him in
an action which he had commenced against all parties con-
cerned in the recent outrage upon his person.

Mr. CONANT said he must treat the matter as one of
common assault, and as it had been proved that Mr. Pater-
noster had first laid hands on the keeper, he should call
upon him to find bail.
The requisite sureties having been entered into, Mr. Pa-
n oster was released.

Mr. Wright, of Conduit-street, was summoned before
Mr. DYER, by the proprietor of the Bank booking-office of
the Bull and Mouth Inn, for having refused the payment
of ss. 2d., the carriage of a parcel from Wrexham.
Mr. Wright objected to the " paying out," as it is called,
which is a fruitful source of imposition in the hands of
coachmasters.

Mr. DYER said the law was so defective, that it was
almost impossible to deal with the cases of imposition which
came before Magistrates. As Mr. Wright had not refused
to pay the reduced demand, he should on that account re-
fuse to allow the expenses of the summons. He should,
however, recommend Mr. Wright to pay the amount now
claimed.

Mr. Wright acted on the suggestion from the Bench,
and the summons was discharged.
Two young persons named Groves, man and wife, living
in Warwick-street, Golden-square, appeared before Mr.
CONANT and Mr. COURTOY on an assault warrant.

The parties were at the office about two months ago, and
it then came out that the wife was Irish, and a Catholic,
the husband English, and a Protestant, a circumstance,
which the husband alleged, formed a fruitful source of do.
mestic unhappiness, as his wife's Irish relations were conti-
nually urging her to part from the " heretic." The wife,
on her part, attributed her quarrels to a young woman who
called herself sister to her husband, but who she doubted
had any claim of relationship at all. It was, however, sa-
tisfactorily proved at the time that the young woman was
really sister to Mr. Groves.
After the usual recriminatory talk in cases of this kind,
at the intercession of mutual friends the parties became re-
conciled.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HA7'TON--GARDEN.

Jokn Carlow, an athletic Irishman, was placed at the
bar, charged by Mr. George Knight, of the firm of George
Knight and Sons, ironmongers, of Foster-lane, City, with
having committed an extensive robbery.
Mr. George Knight, sen., being sworn, stated that the
prisoner had been in the service of the firm for the last six
week or two months as porter, and the utmost conidence
was reposed in him. There was no doubt but the pri-
soner had been pursuing a system of plunder ever since he
had been in their employ.
The prisoner denied the robbery, and said that the whole
of the articles were left him by his wife's father, whose will
would prove that fact. The needle compass was his own.
Mr: BURRELL remanded him.

The wife was also placed at the bar on the charge of
stealing the cloak, but the sister did not press the charge
of robbery ; but she was detained in order to redeem the
property.

CORN-LAWS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have always admired your unwearied advocacy of
the interests of the poor and oppressed. You have long,
and ably, both asserted and proved to those who are not
blinded by self-interest, that the sufferings of thousands are
caused by our misanthropic Corn-laws.
Notwithstanding the abused misrepresentation of your
Conservative Contemporaries, I am happy to find many of
their readers who do perceive, and candidly acknowledge,
" that justice, truth, and humanity are on your side."
But, Sir, since the rays of your Sun have dissipated ig-
norance and prejudice from the mind, and caused the
righteous indignation of suffering Britons, allow me, through
the medium of your philanthropic columns, to suggest a
plan, both bloodless and constitutional, which I think would
break the iron arm of oppression, and emancipate millions
from the grasp of destitution.

- -
The plan is this :—Let the friends of liberty and justice
in London form an " Anti-Corn-law Association," for the
purpose of sending a number of active and intelligent
agents into the provincial towns, to deliver lectures, and
organize the people to present such numerous petitions to
the Legislature, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws,
that no sane Government could refuse compliance.
Almost every town, both in England and Scotland, has
a Reform Association, and I am sure these Associations
would most willingly assist the agents of mercy in their
labours of benevolence.

The time to throw off the anti-Christian yoke has now
arrived. The people in this neighbourhood are anxiously
looking for a movement in the North. When a person
who is considered friendly to the poor goes into the ad-
jacent villages he is frequently asked " What be they
doing in the North ?" " Are they coming our way ?"
In a moral point of view, the Corn-laws demand our most
serious consideration. I have always observed in this
county (and I think it is the same generally) that crime
prevails in the same ratio as the price of bread advances
and labour becomes scarce. There are now hundreds of
poor children deprived of the education which they for-
merly enjoyed, in consequence of their parents being un-
able to provide them with clothing and pay the trifling sum
of one or two pence per week.
Grinding barley for the purpose of making bread has
become common in this county.
1 remain your humble servant,

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A well-dressed young man, who gave the name of
Stephen Thompson, was brought up by 88 F division, who
stated that at a quarter-past six o'clock this morning he
found him leasing against the wall in Russell-street, in a
state of intoxication, and incapable of taking care of himself.
The defendant had been seen by another constable during
the night wandering about, but not suspecting anything was
the matter, be thought it unnecessary to take him into cus-
tody. On being searched at the station-house there were
found upon him a wine-glass, an empty vial, and a bottle
containing nearly half a pint 'of laudanum, with directions to
take a certain quantity at stated periods, and directed to
Denison, Esq." On being placed at the bar, Mr.
THISTLETON, a county Magistrate, put several questions to
him, which he refused to answer, but accounted for the
laudanum by saying that he was in the habit of taking a
lose every day, and that he lodged for the last three
months at 23, Cecil-street, Strand. He was then put back,
and on the officer making inquiries at the house where he
said he lodged, there was no such person known there. His
dialect is that of a North-countryman.
Mr. THISTLETON observing that the defendant appeared
not very collected, gave directions that he should be closely
watched, and to be brought up again in the evening.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday four well-known juvenile thieves, the eldest of
whom is not more than 16 years of age, were brought up
in custody, and placed within the felons' bar, on .the charge
of having broken into the house of Mr. Emanuel, 9, Gee's-
court, Oxford-street, and stolen therefrom between 81. and
9/. in gold and silver, a writing-desk, 96 spoons, three in-
gots of metal, and other property of different descriptions.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner Bur-
roughs had occasionally been employed by the prosecutor
as errand-boy, and that on Sunday night last it was dis-
covered that the premises, which on the previous night
were locked up as usual, bad been entered, and plundered
of the articles alluded to ; information was promptly com-
municated to the police. Burroughs, on being discovered
at the lodging of his parents, at first protested his innocence,
but subsequently, on being advised by his mother to confess
if he had acted improperly, he expressed his intention to
speak the whole truth. He then went on to state that on
Sunday evening he met Bergen, Keefe, and Leary, with
whom he entered into conversation, and after the lapse of
a few minutes, it was agreed upon that the premises should
be robbed.

Burroughs was ordered to be taken to the House of
Correction, where he will remain until the Sessions, in
order that he may be forthcoming to give evidence for the
Crowd.

SHOPLIFTING.—A fashionably attired young woman was

WORSHIP-STREET.

IMPORTANT TO PUBLISHERS.—Yesterday a tradesman
of the name of Fielding, living in Old-street, City-road,
appeared to an information preferred against him by
Stowell, the common informer, charged with selling a
publication called the Cabinet, on the front and last sheets
of which the names of the printer and publisher were not
printed.

A long argument ensued. Stowell said that he had been
at a great expense in the prosecutions. He bad been
urged to take the course he had by some tradesmen, and
he had at home now about 100 publications, on which he
was about to lay similar informations.
The defendant was finally convicted in the penalty of
51.: there being twenty days allowed for an appeal previous
to a process being served against him.
