CRIMINAL

rills DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Vaughan.)
The Lord Advocate, as well as Mr. Justice Patteson, were also on the
Bench during the trial.
MANSLAUGHTER ON THE HIGH SEAS.—Charles Cam was indicted for
the manslaughter of Louis Hanford on board the ship Kingston, off
Calabar, by immoderate flogging.
Messrs. Bodkin and Duane conducted the prosecution. The At-
torney-General, with Messrs. Adolphus and Mr. C. Phillipps, were fur
the defence.
The trial will probably last till a late hour.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant AUAIIIN.)

A CREEPER.—SamueI Cooke, a boy about eleven years' old, was con-
victed of stealing a till, containing silver and copper cs in, the property
of J. Henderson.

Mr. JoNas stated that the prisoner was' wl'at was called a "creeper,"
that is, a person who creeps into shops upan all-fours, and steals the
money-drawers or tills.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN—The best thing we can do with him is to
send him to the boys' ship, where he will be taught some useful trade.
The little fellow, who had been regarding the proceedings with the
most contemptuous indifference, here exclaimed, " Thank you, old fel-
low, for that." The Court was convulsed with laughter.
Mr. Sergeant Artantx here ordered the prisoner back into the deck,
and " as transportation has no terrors fur you, (said his Lordship)
we will try what a whipping will do ; you shall be whipped before- you
are sent out."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
56, Seymour-place, St. Marylebone.
Feb. 3, 1838.
Sir—l shall feel obliged by your correcting an omission in
your List of Railway Petitions and Bills. On the 30th of
November, Mr. Hall, one of the Members for this borough,
presented a petition from me, (as you may learn by the votes
of the HGuse of Commons) " praying for an Act to enable
myself and others to er,:ct Railway Colonnades over the foot-
pavements in and near London, to be called The Queen
Victoria's London Railway Colonnades,' and to convey pas-
sengers thereon." Lord Brougnam has since presented a si-
milar petition to the Lords ; and the Bill, I expect, villa be
ready for introduction in a few days.
I am, Sir, your obeatent humble Servant, and
Admiring Constant R2ader,
IL T. WEBB, Surgeon,
Author of " A Manual of Medicine," " A Letter to the Mar-

quis of. Londonderry," &c. &c. &c.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)
CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The British Funds, which were drooping in the early part of yester-
day morning, regained their bouyancy in the afternoon, owing to its
being assertained that the President of the United States was pacific
towards the British Government, which is confirmed by the answer of
Lord Palmerston last night in the Hou,e of Commons to a question put
to him by Sir It. Inglis, in regard to the relation of Mr. Fox, our ambas-
sador in the United Slates.

This morning we have received a fresh supply of American Papers
by the Montreal, arrived at Falmouth, of the 10th January, which bring
an important message from the President to Congress, demanding some
kind of satisfaction for the affair of the Caroline steamer.

(For the Closing Prices see First Page.)

According to a letter from Newcastle-upon-T.l°e.;
received this morning, there had been an alternation of thaw and fwl:e
during the last 48 hours—that is, from Tuesday to Thursday. 're
river had in a great measure been freed from ice, and the steamers We 0
plying as usual between Shields and Newcastle. The carriers', tarnthat came to town on Thursday morning were covered with snow, fud
one inch in thickness. The Edinburgh mail was only one hour helo°
time last evening.
