CLERKENWELL.

Samuel Honour, an elderly man, for many years past
a respectable inhabitant of Ilighbury•vale, Islington,
where he has carried on business as an undertaker and
cabinet-maker, was charged with a robbery in the dwell-
ing house of Mr. Barnes, a draper, of the Upper-road,
in that parish, under very aggravated circumstances.
The case excited considerable interest, and occupied
the attention of the worthy Magistrate, Mr. Tyrwhitt,
a considerable time.
The following are the short facts of the case:—On
Frith.y night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fire
broke out on the premises occupied by the prostcutor,
and the prisoner was one of the first on the spot after an
alarm of the conflagration had been raised by the ser•
vants of Mr. Barnes, who was not at home 'at the time.
One of the shopmen, in a frantic manner, called for some
one to secure the cash-box, and some tale-deeds then in
the counting house, and the prisoner helped himself to
the former, and endeavoured to esc:pe. He was met by
Police constables Woodrum and Harries, of the N divi-
sion, who had to take the box by force away from him;
after which it was discovered that the contents, amount-
ing to 141. 95., had disappeared. .The accused was im-
mediately sought after, and being discovered in a crowd
in front of the house, he was walked off to the police-
station, where the amount in question, for the possession
of which he could not give a satisfactory account, was
found upon him.

Mr.TYRWHITT, in a feeling address, asked the prisoner
if he wished to make any statement in reference to
the serious chargt.?—The unfortunate man, who was
most awfully dejected, faintly replied, "I have nothing
at all to say, sir."
He was remanded for the attendance of material wit-
nesses.

Mary Ann Edwards, an old woman, was charged with
deco] ing and enticing away James Laurence, a child
four years of age.
It appeared in evidence that on Friday evening, while
the child was plis)inl-,r in front of its parents' residence,
in Brick lane, St. Luke's, the prisoner, who had been
seen watching it for more than an hour, took it up in her
arms, promising t ► buy it some cherries. She was fol-
lowed by the mother-at least half a mile, and her inten-
tion to do some wrung then becoming too evident, she
was stopped and banded over to the charge of an officer,
to whom she first 'stated that the child was her own,
and afterwards that she had only taken it up for an
airing.

Tt prisoner, in her defence, pleaded that she knew
not what she was about.

She was fully committed for trill.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
Myanmar., JULY 14.—'1 he fine h ,t weather we have had•
for several days had its effect on the business at our market
yererday. Wheat was taen sparingly by the millers, at the
rates of Tuesday. Flour was in better demand, but at no
change in price. Indian corn declined 6d per quarter, at
which a fair clearance was effected for parcels ready for deli-
ve:y. Egyptian beans were held with mere firmness than of
late, and there were none to be had under 2-is per 4801 b.
Oats, barley, and peas stand quoted as on Tuesday last. There
is no change in prices to-day.

MaaectiesTen, JULY 14 —Although the splendid weather
experienced throughout the present week has caused a less
animated feeling to pervade the trade, still the supplies of
choice fresh made English &lir have been on so limited a scale
that a ready vend Was found fur such at full and improving
prices. Stale and inferior parcels were, however, quite neg-
lected. Oatmeal has continued to meet a slow sale at about
previous rates. At Liverpool the imports of 'oreign and Ca-
nadian grain, flour, and oatmeal, though less extensive than
last week, are still to a fair amount; but with the excenfou of
about 3 000 loads of malt coastwise, the arrivals of English and
Irish produce are very light. At our market this morning the
best descriptions of wheat were held fur rather more money.
Prime fresh flour commanded slightly enhanced terms; but
for other kinds the demand was languid at the currency of this
day se'nnight. Oats fully supported their previous value;
wl ilst oatmeal, on the contrary, meeting a very limited in-
quiry, must be noted the turn cheaper.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JULY 12.—The number of
cattle brought forward at our market to-day were—oxen,
612 ; sheep, 1,066 ; lambs, ?,467. Owing to the sultry state
of the weather,- the market ts as inactive, and sales were ran
ther in favour of the buyer. Best beef, however, maintained
former prices, viz., 50s per owl, second quality rs alised from
42s to 45s per ditto, and inferio: cow beef from 388 to 40s per
ditto, sinking the Offals. The demand for sheep was dull, and,
owing to the scarcity of lambs, prices advanced is per head.
Mutton ranged from 40 te bid per lb.

a small advance, whilst stale and inferior lots are difficult of

fine is a slow sale. Barley continues in value, but very little
at market. Oats : fresh lots sell readily at former rates, whilst
stale parcels are a shade lower in value, and slow sale. Oat-
meal sells slowly at a reduction of 24 to 133 per cwt. Indian
corn sells pretty freely, at a reduction of 2s 6d on yellow, ava,
5s on white. Yellow, 81 5s to 81 7s 6d ; white, 81 7s 6d to th
10s per ton.
•
Coax, JULY 13. —The trade during the week, though fine'
has been quiet, and we have little alteration to notice from the
quotations of last week. A steady consumptive demand is ex-
perienced for Indian Corn, which moves off in moderate quell"
• tities, at late prices, for the suppl) of the districts in the In-
terior. Wheat is firm, with an upward tendency, holdall
influenced by the improved tone of the English advices, beh?g
disposed to look for higher rates, and being strengthened
.112
this feeling by the fact that the stocks of the article of reeruil
prime quality are very scarce here just now. As a natiroo
consequence, it follows that we have more firmness in the
trade, and we find ihat an advance of 6d per cwt upon
flours is generally sought for, while some of our millers ro,lls
to sell except at the improvement. As, however, the bakers
have not been obtaining prices for their bread sufficiently re-
munerative to admit of their paying higher rates for the raw
material, a struggle Is goieg on between the purchaser and
seller, and the result is a not very active business in the article.
We have but few foreign arrivals. Of home grain we nui,
say none comes in. Holders of wheat are firm, and demand
higher rates, yet but little has changed hands. Of oats the
same may be said, as though there have been some inquiries
for the article, the pretensions of holders have checked busi-
ness. On flour an advance of 6d per cwt is asked. The trap°,
is quiet, with a moderate business doin
esg to supply preset;
wants. Coarse flours continue in requt. With a fair trad
passicg in Indian Corn, prices continue unaltered, 8/ 2s 6d (the
price quoted in our last) being the current value of the article.

DEFEAT OF A NEST OF GAMBLERS,—A short time
since a young scion of the ari-tocracy, scarcely of eget
the nephew of an officer holding a high appointment in
her Majesty's household, was entrapped into play at One
of the \Vest end clubs by a set of well. dressed sharpers'
who, by some means or other, had got access to ten
place. The result was that he wai plundered of all lit
then possessed, and bills of exchange, to the amount 01
several hundreds, were extorted from him. These were
considered " as good as the Bank," from the tear of the
expi sure of theyoung gentleman's relatives, particularly
his uncle above alluded to. Owing to a dispute among
the members of the gang, as to the division of the
plunder, one of them disclosed to the loser the conspiracy
by which he had been defrauded. The young gentian:Oa
was on the eve of taking up some of the bills when thl
disclosure was made to him. lie then had the goo,
sense, like the profligate son, to acknowledge his sins an
transgressions to his friends, who have forgiven him, and
the transaction being proved of the basest descriptinn'
they now set the swindlers at defiance, the bills, proving
to them as waste paper.—Sunday Paper.
