THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELV.iI O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and
Dutch mails, and ship-letters from Barbadoes and Madras.
The Madras papers to the 19th of June are void of
news. The weather continued very bearable during the
week, although there was only one shower of rain. N°
further news of the over-land expedition had arrived from
Bombay.
By the Calcutta Courier of the 31st ult., we learn that
the new Customs Act passed the Legislative Council ot
India, and was to come into operation that day.
Owing to the boisterous state of the weather during the
whole of yesterday, we aredeprived this morning of the ar-
rival of the Express from Paris, which was anxiously looked
ld
for by the speculators in the Spanish Stocks ; as it ivou
no doubt have brought later information from Madrid and
the theatre of war than had been previously known.
On the arrival yesterday of the American mail of the lit
instant, great anxiety prevailed among the Americ,in mer-
cantile interests, to ascertain the effect produced in the
United States by the measures adopted by our Baok P"
rectors, to check the circulation of American paper in:Plg;
land, of which it appears that information had been reeeiven
at Boston, which was immediately sent to New York. The
letter on the above subject is dated London, 20th August,
and is inserted in another part of The Sun. It was several
days, it will be observed, before the decision of the Bang
Directors was made known to the commercial interests In
London.

iltY and Prisoners, observing that it was to the hu-
Lltuott,eKludness of the worthy gentlemen who filled the
ttott'hie e:f Sheriffs, that the prisoners were indebted for his
ertions in their behalf. The moment those
orisoilersZiviu
d theiais heard of the serious charge against the
r destitute state, they were determined

if guilty, they should not be found so without having their
case sifted to the bottom. The Learned Cpunsel then
mended to comment elaborately on the evidence, and
concluded an eloquent address by expressing his firm con-
viction that the Jury would acquit both the prisoners.
Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up, and
The JURY found both prisoners Not Guilty of Murder ;
but the female prisoner Guilty of endeavouring to conceal
the birth, and the male prisoner as an accessory to that
concealment.

The male prisoner was discharged upon entering into
his own recognizances in 50/. to appear next Session to
answer any indictment that might be preferred against him.
The female prisoner was detained in custody.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Maly Donald, a miserably clad, half-starved Irishwoman,
was indicted for stealing three planes, the property of
Edward Chapman.—Guilty.
The prisoner pleaded distress.

The Learned SERGEANT observed that he believed it
was the practice of the magistrates to pass these unfor-
tunate persons to Ireland after the expiration of their
sentences, and as the expense was only about 305., he
hoped the practice would be followed, these wretched
creatures having no resource but crime.
Selim Cohen, 20, a respectable looking young man, was
indicted for stealing three books, value 55., the property
of Christopher Mudie and another.
It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that
the prisoner was in the habit of purchasing books at tho
prosecutor's shop, and that three books were found in his
possession which the prosecutor identified as his property.
On his cross-examination by Mr. CLARESON, the pro-
secutor admitted that the prisoner had left a deposit of
10s. at the time the books were found with him. The
prosecutor had been indicted twelve months ago for re-
ceiving stolen goods, and his son had been six months
imprisoned for a similar offence.

The Jury at once returned a verdict of acquittal.
The prisoner was again indicted for stealing, on the 19th
September, twelve books, value 10s., the property of Wil-
liam Holmes.

The prosecutor deposed that he had known the prisoner
for six years, and was in the habit of buying and selling
books to him. The books now produced are his property,
and they were never sold.
The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr.
PHILLIPS. He had been in gaol for deserting his wife, and
he had also been in gaol two years for selling Carlile's pub-
lications. He had been in prison on another occasion for
six months. There was a young woman also in the habit
of selling books in his shop, and his son, a boy of 11 years
old, also sold books. He had a shop in Holywell-street,
and one in Prince's-street. After a good deal of equivoca-
tion, he admitted that he was in the habit of selling very
indecent publications. His son and the young woman told
him that they had not sold the books in question. They
are not in attendance.
The Common SERGEANT observed that their statements
to the prosecutor could not be received in evidence.
A police-constable found the books now produced in the
prisoner's lodgings.
Mr. PHILLIPS was proceeding to address the Jury, when
they expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict
of Not Guilty.
The prisoner was a third time indicted for stealing, on
the 13th of September, 17 printed books, value 155., the
property of George Heaton. _ _

. .
- The prosecutor: keeps a shop near Clare-market for the
sale of second-hand books. The books now produced are
his property, and were never sold by him. His wife and
son-in-law are in the habit of selling in his absence. They
are not in Court.

A police-officer found the books in the prisoner's
lodgings. The prisoner did not hesitate about giving him
the street and number of the house where he lived.

Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury, and called several
witnesses of the Jewish persuasion, who gave the prisoner a
good character.

The COMMON-SERJEANT, in summing up, observed upon
the circumstance of two other persons, who were in the
habit of selling books in the prosecutor's shop, not having
been called. If any doubt arose in their minds from that
fact they would, of course, give the prisoner the benefit of
it.—Not Guilty.
The prisoner was a fourth time given in charge for steal-
ing, on the 20th of September, two printed books, value
2s. 6d., the property of Christopher Mudie and another.
Christopher Mudie, jun.—The witness and his father
keep a book-shop in Prince's-street, Leicester-square. The
two books now produced are his property, and they were
never-sold by him. The prisoner was for two years in the
habit of purchasing books at his shop.
Cron-examined by Mr. PHlLLirs—Witness was very
unfortunate about twelve months ago. He was convicted
of receiving books stolen from the Messrs. Ridgway. He
was unfortunate, because he did not know at the time he
purchased the books that they were stolen, but the Jury
thought otherwise. His father bad been some years ago
charged at the Mansion-house, but he does not recollect
the particulars. Witness, his brother, and father are in
the habit of selling in the shop. There is an entry made
of all the books sold.
John Young Mudie, father to the last witness—Never
sold the books now produced. His sons Christopher and
Peter, and a boy who attended the shop occasionally, all
sold books. He had been before the Lord Mayor for
purchasing books which had been stolen. He was in the
Compter all night, and was discharged in the morning.
The police constable proved the finding of the books in
the prisoner's lodgings.
Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury at some length, com-
menting. with great severity upon the character of the wit-
nesses for the prosecution.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The COMMON-SERGEANT would strongly advise Cohen
to get rid of the system of trafficking in books, which had
brought him into so much trouble. He should consider
himself very fortunate, and he hoped he would be more
cautious in future.

The COURT refused to allow the expenses of the wit-
nesses in any of the prosecutions but that of Geo. Heaton.
Hannah Tudor, 43, was indicted for stealing three silk
handkerchiefs, value Gs., the property of Henry Gosbell,
her master.

The property was sold to a pawnbroker, who could not
identify the person by whom it was sold, and the Jury ac-
quitted the prisoner. She was again indicted for stealing
two pocket-books, the property of her master, Henry Gos-
bell. The property was identified by the prosecutor, and
the duplicates were found at the prisoner's lodgings. The
prosecutor could not swear that he had not sold the articles,
nor could the pawnbroker identify the person by whom the
property had been pledged.—Guilty.
