THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1849

and only small purchases have been made at from 15s to
ISs per cwt. There is also not a better supply at market,
and the stock is still getting smaller. The sales made
in Bengal Treacle have been small, at 14s 6d to 15s.
COCOA.—West India is not much required, and there
are sellers upon rather lower terms, whilst a fair amount
is on offer. The moderatts, however, occasions the con-
sumption to be larger than in the former year; at public
sale 204 pkgs were only in part disposed of at 3Ss to 41s
for low and middling Trinidad, and at 38s for St. Vin-
cents. Foreign has been operated in with caution,
although there are sellers upon the low terms of 25s to
27a per cwt. The quantity declared for auction is 2,000

CocinetEAL.—This afternoon there was only a very
limited demand, and 63 bags of Honduras at auction
sold at rather lower rates; Silvers went at from 3s 6d to
4s 4d, and black at 48 3d to 5s 3d per lb,
Come.—This afternoon the public sales of 13 casks
708 bags Plantation Ceylon Coffee went off quietly, and
a part only sold at rather lower rates, low middling and
middling realized 48s 64 to 525, pea berry 55s 6d to
58s 6d, damaged 36s to 545, a part was taken in at 64s
to 68s for superior sound; 41 pkgs Jamaica
were bought in above the value, fine at 100 s, good 60s
to 655, low middling and middling 46s to 545, fine and
fine fine ordinary 40s to 455, good ordinary 385; 285
bags Costa Rica sold at rather lower terms, and went
at 45 to 46s 6d for fine fine ordinary. The market is
quiet for Native Ceylon at 38s to 38s 6d for good ord.
TEA.—There is much dulness in the market for Green,
and sellers are willing to accept rather lower rates; the
quantity on offer is also still large, especially of the
better sorts. For common and good common Congou
full quotations are obtained, but the demand has become
limited at 9d to 9id. There are few buyers of other
sorts, and sellers are ready to accept 10d to is 2d for
medium, and is 3d to Is 9d for good and fine blackish
leaf and Pekoe kinds. Other sorts of Tea met with
little attention, and can be obtained upon rather lower
terms. No public sale is at present declared.
RICE.—To-day importers of East India displayed
firmness, and refrained from offering any at auction. By
private treaty a fair business was concluded at fully
former rates.
SPICES.—To-day, at public sale, 69 barrels Jamai%e.
Ginger found buyers at 81 8s to 91 6s for fine, and mi
to good 41 15s to 71 12s ; also 100 bags Pimento at 48d
for good, and 73 bags Malabar Pepper at 3d to 30 for
short, both being rather cheaper ; bat 200 bags African
Pod Pepper were mostly taken in at 35s per cwt for
ordinary.
SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island is held 'for previous terms;
only small purchases have been made at is 4id to is 5d
proof, whilst the market is less freely supplied.
For East India the market has a quiet aspect;
there, are, however, not sellers under Is. 3d
In Demerara the purchases made have been small at
from is 10d to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent. over proof,
there are however not free sellers at these rates.
Former terms are insisted upon for Jamaica, yet ship-
pers and borne dealers have been cautious in their
proceedings, fine sorts from 3s to 3s 10d,
met with a fair sale for 34 to 38 per
cent. over proof. Of Brandy there are further
arrivals, and operations are upon a smaller scale. The
value of Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848 is
4s 5d to 4s 7d per gallon. Only small sales have been
made in Geneva at is 9d to is 10d for export sort, fine
for home :consumption at 2s 3d to 3s 3d. Thera is no
variation to make known in the value of British made
Spirit, and the demand is far from active.
Fnere.—To-day, at public sale, 260 pkgs New Patras
Currants were sold at 4os for sound, and 39s for da-
maged; 637 pkgs New Valencia Raisins damaged 40s;
16 cases New Imperial French Plums were taken in.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sales of East India com-
menced to-day; before the opening of the sale 2,313 chts
were withdrawn, which added to 1,590 already known,
makes the total quantity withdrawn 3,204. 1,296
chests (including 470 withdrawn) have passed the
sale this day. Although the attendance of
foreign and home buyers was not large, con-
sidering the importance of the sale, there has been a
fair demand throughout the day for all qualities of
Bengal except the very fine, which continue to be com-
paratively neglected. Kurpahs have been in good de-
mand, but the ord and low sorts of dry leaf Madras sold
without spirit. As compared with the prices of the last
sales, we quote:—good and fine Bengals at par, mid par
to 3d advance, ord and low ld to 2d, ord and mid Kur.
pabs 2d to 3d, mid and good Madras par, ord and low
ditto Id to 2d discount. Proprietors have bought in
only 40 chts.
TALLow.—In the market for Russian there has been
more activity, and prices are higher. ;Sales to a fair
extent have been made on the spot, and 37s 3d
to 37s 6d per cwt are the rates paid for fine P. Y. C.
Operations are upon a larger scale fir delivery
up to the close of the year at 3Zu to 37s 3d,
and there are not free sellers. Home melted
met with a good sale at 36s to 37s nett cash. Of South
American 700 casks at auction were for the most part
disposed of at 32s 9d to 36s 6d for low to fine ; 580 pkgs
South American 31s 6d to 35s 61, and 13 pkgs Cape at
34s 9d to 36s 3d per cwt. For auction the quantity
of Tallow declared is 1,200 packages.
OILS.—The market is still firm for Linseed Oil, and
a good home trade demand exists; there are also yet
several export purchasers. On the spot the value is
31s 3d to 31s 6d, mad the quantity on offer is not larger,
although crushers are more freely at work. Purchases
to a fair extent have been made tor delivery at 30s 6d
to 31s. Rape Oil is wanted, few parchls are to be ob-
tained, and the value is 398 6d to 40s for pale, and
brown 38s 6d to 395, Cocoa Nut continue to be deal,
in with caution, and sellers are willing to accept 30s to
348 6d for low to fine ; the market is
a!so well supplied. Palm is not much in request,
and sellers are: willing to accept 30s 9d to 31s for
fine, and although there is only a limited supply.
till deliveries do not get larger. Olive has beet.
dealt in with greater freedom, and stiffer rate,
are paid. Sales of Gallipoli have been made
at 441 to 45/, and of other sorts at 421 to 431 106
per tun. On the part of holders of Seal there are
firmness, and purchases to a fair extent have been
made; pale at 371 to 381, straw and tinged 34/ to 36/'
yellow and brown 311 to 331. There are several buyers
for arrival rather under these rates. A good trade
has been concluded in Cod at 28/ lOs to 29/
there are not free sellers. Southern is in smal;
supply, and all sorts are wanted at former rates. 133
private treaty low to mid quality sold at 301 to 341, and
good to fine at 321105. Cf Sperm the supply is still
getting smaller, and prices are fully as high as on this
day week; the demand is more active; fine colonial at
811, and Ileadmatter at 831 to 841 per tun.

MRS. BUTLER'S CASE.—The long-vexed question
of divorce between Pierce Butler and his wife Frances
Anne (Fanny Kemble) Butler is at length settled by the
following decree, which I give verbatim from the records
of the Court of Common Pleas of this city and county.
Thus:—'° And now, the 9th day of August, in the year
of our Lord 1849, the return of Thomas Dunlap, Esq ,
examiner of the depositions of the witnesses, taken
before him on the part of the libellant, was presented
and filed, September 3, 1849, on motion of George M.
Dsllas, Esq., rule to show cause why divorce should not
be decreed— whereupon the Court, on the 22d day of
September, 1849, after mature and solemn deliberation,
being satisfied therewith, and proclamation being duly
made for the respondent to come forth, and she not
appearing, the Court do order, adjudge, and decree, that
the said Pierce Butler, the libellant, be divorced and
separated from the bond of matrimony contracted with
the said Frances Anne Butler, the respondent; and that
all and every the duties, rights, and claims accruing to
either of the said parties by reason of the said marriage,
shall henceforth cease and determine, and the said par-
ties be severally at liberty to marry again, in like man-
ner, as if they never had been married." The above is
understood to be the result of an amicable arrangement,
and I am informed that Mr. Butler is to allow 'his di-
vorced lady 1,500 dolls. a year, and the children are to
pass a part of their time with their mother.—Philadel-
phia Correspondent.

ELOPEMENT.—PRESTON, SA7IIRDAT.—During the
past few days the tranquillity of this district has been
disturbed by a report that one of the patients of Burgh
Hall Lunatic Asylum had eloped, and that the runaway
was none other than the celebrated Mrs. Norris, the
; quondam Miss Duric. Our readers will, no doubt, re.
collect the dexterous elopement of Miss Duric with Ellis
Norris, their marriage at Chester, tho capture of, and
replacing of Miss Duric in the asylum, and the subs°.
quest law proceedings, which resulted in the imprison-
ment of Norris in Lancaster Castle for the expenses.
Norris only left the gaol about a fortnight back. It ap-
pears that on Sunday last the family, with the exception
of Mr. Stead, the proprietor of Burgh Ball, and a ser-
vant, had gone to church. About halt-past eight o'clock
Mr. Stead had occasion to leave Mrs. Norris's room, for
the purpose of writing a letter, and by some means the
fair prisoner managed to get possession of a carpenter's
chisel, by the aid of which, after cutting the cords, she
was enabled to take out the lower sash of the window,
from which she made her escape. Whilst Mr. Stead was
writing he twice sent his servant to see that Mrs. Norris
was safe. The first time she was reported to be reading,
but on the second occasion, just as the servant entered
the room, the candle was blown out, and, to her amaze-
ment, she found the window lying on the floor, and that
the lady had flown. The police authorities were as soon
as possible apprised of the circumstance, and several
constables proceeded in search of the fair fugitive.
Every house in the neighbourhood about which any sus-
picion was entertained was searched, but to no purpose,
for neither Mrs. Norris nor her supposed deliverer could
be seen or heard of, for even under the window through
which she escaped they left
n° teven the print of a foot-
step behind them. Norriswasifoundw9fomfortably asleep

in bed at his lodgings, minus
unconscious of her escape. Newsham'
assistant on a former occasion, was also founwdaisn
asleep. A reward of 101. has been offered for the ap-
prehension of the lady.—Sunday Times.
Thoughts are in the brain like flowers in their
native soil; but, on paper, like exotics in a green-house,
probably maintaining a dwarfish existence, but oftener
killed by the transplanting.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

but on a small scale, but it was nevertheless the vio-
lation of a great principle, and small as the change
appeared, it was the introduction of a system that
would lead to the total disregard of the Sabbath in
London. He did not believe that Government had
any such deliberate intention as that in the introduc-
tion of it, but no one could doubt that if they were
not prevented by the expression of dissent which was
emanating from the people, from taking such a step,
the Sunday would in this country soon be no better
observed than it was on the continent, and a London
Sunday would become similar to that of Paris. He
had been waited upon by a deputation of clerks in the
inland department of the Post-office, who complained
of any such system being adopted, and who had told
him that they would not so far go against their con-
scientious convictions as to act under it. Now,
should it be adopted, and those men decline acting,
they would be placed in no very enviable position.
lie trusted, however, the remonstrances of such meet-
ings as the present would have the effect of causing it
to he abandoned.

The Rev. Mr. JACKSON, rector of the parish, then
proposed the following resolution : " That this
meeting has observed with deep regret that it is the
intention of the Past-office authorities to make such
alterations in their present, arrangements for the
receipt and dispatch of letters us will involve the
attendance of a considerable number of clerks and
messengers on Sundays. It is unable to perceive that
the relief proposed to be given to the country post-
masters is in any way necessarily connected with the
alterations which the Government has sanctioned in
London."

Mr. THOMAS A'BECXETT seconded the resolution ;
And after a few observations from Mr. JAMES
GARRETT, a churchwarden of St. James's, detailing
the particulars of an interview which he had had
that morning with Mr. Rowland Hill, and the
opinion of that gentleman, that he did not think it
deserved the condemnation it had met with, it was
agreed to.
Sir WALTER FARQUHAR then moved, " That this
meeting is convinced that such a measure, in addition
to an increased desecration of the Sabbath, will ulti-
mately lead to a general delivery of letters on that
day," which was also agreed to, and the meeting
separated.

IS BRITAIN STILL. IN ITS DARK ACES ?—Amongst
the details in the late official report on Public Libraries,
is a curious map exhibiting the relative amount or pro-
vision of books in libraries publicly accessible iu the
principal states of Europe, as compared with their re-
spective populations. The proportions, are to every 100
of the population in the British Isles and Holland, 63 to
53 books; in Russia and Portugal 80 to 76; in Belgium,
Spain, and Sardinia, about 100; in France, 129; in the
Italian States, 150; in the Austrian Empire and Hun-
gary, 167; in Prussia, 200; in Sweden and Norway,3o9;
in Bavaria, 339; in Switierland, 350; in Denmark, 412;
and in the smaller German states, nearly 450!! Is it not
sad to think that the British isles, which rank so high
above all other states in other points of pre-eminenco,
are here the lowest of the low? These figures are black
enough certainly, but the map, which is scored with
black lines—close and numerous in proportion to the
comparative paucity of books or—literary darkness,
shall we say ?—gives a still more glaring relief to our
bad pre eminence in this respect. The British isles are
black as ink can make them—blacker than semi-bar-
barous Russia, while the ono little bright spot, par
excellence, is limited to the narrow outline of the smaller
German states.—Builder.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
N. COBB'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt in this case was an auctioneer and
sheriff's officer at Colchester, and he came up to-day
on his last examination, the balance-sheet being pre-
pared by Mr. Hutton. His creditors on one side of
the account were represented at 3,5331., and his liabi-
lities at 1,2031. His debts, on the other side, were
1571., calculated as good, and property 3531.
Mr. Lawrance appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr.
Cooper for the assignees.
A question was raised respecting the adoption by
the bankrupt of some supplemental accounts, and on
which it was attempted to oppose his passing.
The COURT did not, however, receive the views ex-
pressed on behalf of the assignees, and the bankrupt
was therefore allowed to pass.
The other cases heard were not of importance.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Robert Tuke was brought before the Lord Mayor
upon several charges of forgery.
Mr. Edward Stone Darvell, a town traveller, of
No. 14, Walbrook, said—On Wednesday, the 12th of
September, the prisoner brought to me the cheque
produced for 91. Gs. Ho said he had received it from
a Mr. Wallis, as a profit on a transaction for grease
delivered from Bryant and May, of Tooley-street,
and that Wallis would give a cheque to them for the
amount of the invoice rendered to the prisoner. Ile
left the cheque. I observed that it was dated the 224
of September, and would not be due until Saturday
week. I did not present it until that day. On the
Wednesday when I had the conversation with the
prisoner he owed me about 31., and he wanted me to
give him the difference, but I had not sufficient
money about me, and it was agreed it should be left
till the Saturday, when I was to present it, and de-
duct what he owed me and to pay him the difference
On Saturday morning after I had presented the
cheque, and ascertained that there was no account at
the banking house, I received from the prisoner
the note I produce, to the following effect :
"23, St. Svrithin's-lane, Saturday morning.
"Dear Darvell,—Mr. Mills called on me here last
evening, and from what he said respecting Wallis's
cheque it will be better not to present it until after I
have seen him, which I will do at twelve o'clock, and
then see you, and either then have the money or draw it
at the bankers.—Yours truly,

" ROBERT MIZE."
On the following Monday or Tuesday after wards I saw
the prisoner, and told him that I would give him in
charge, but he went away.
In his cross-examination by the prisoner the wit-
ness said —I recollect your calling on the Tuesday
evening previously to my receiving the cheque. You
asked me if I could get it cashed, and you said there
was some difficulty, as it was dated on. You
showed no hesitation in leaving the cheque with me.
I can't say you went away to avoid being given in
charge.
Mr. Blundell, clerk to Messrs. 'Williams, Deacon
and Co., bankers, of Birchin-lane, said no person
named James J. Wallis kept an account at that house.
Mr. W. W. C. Roberts, tea-dealer, of No. 20,
Harp lane, Tower-street, said—The cheque produced
-
belonged to my father. I had been sorting my
papers and letters about two months since. Amongst
them I inadvertently left this old cheque-book. I
know the prisoner. He has been at my counting-
house. He came to see a Mr. Smith ; but I never
had any transaction with him. I saw an examina-
tion of a man of the name of Mills respecting a
forgery upon Williams, Deacon, and Co., which in-
duced me to look at the cheque-book, and I discovered
that several of the cheques had been taken out of it.
1 gave the bankers information, and went to the
station-house and gave the officer the book. The
cheque-book was left in my desk, amongst a lot of
letters. The prisoner has written at that desk. I
have left him there. The writing on the counterfoils
is that of my father, who keeps an account at Wil-
liams, Deacon, and Co.'s.

Cross-examined—Mr. Smith's name was on the
ground-floor, but the office was mne. I think you
hare been there alone, but I cannot positively say that
I have left you there alone.
Mr. Abraham Wallis, a member of the Society of
Friends, and clerk to Messrs. Bryant and May, of 133,
Tooley-street, said—l have seen the prisoner about
our place of business. I did not pay the prisoner the
cheque produced for-grease; no business has been
actually done between the prisoner and our house ;
no grease whatever ever left our premises on the
prisoner's account.
The prisoner was then charged with having uttered
a forged order for the payment of 41. Bs., with intent
to defraud Joseph Golding.
Mr. Golding, a licensed victualler, of the Blossoms
Inn, Lawrence lane, said—On Saturday, the 15th of
September, the prisoner gave me the cheque pro-
duced for 4/. Bs. I gave him cash for it, and he
paid me ss. out of the money. I knew the pri-
soner from his having been an occasional customer,
but the ss. was for money lent. About the Wednes-
day or Thursday I received the letter produced to the
following effect :

"St. Switbin's-lane, Sept. 19.
"Dear Sir,—The party who paid in the cheque which
you cashed for me (Mr. Mills) has just been in here to
say that he finds there is some irregularity in it, and that
the cheque will, in all probability, be dishonoured. It
has, I assure you, very much surprised me to hear this,
but I will call on you to-morrow, and if this is the case
pay you for it.
" In haste, yours, very truly,

" ROBERT TIIICE."
Cross-examined—l had not presented the cheque
for payment befor I received that note.
Mr. Darvell, who prosecuted in the first case, said,
I know the prisoner, and have seen him write. The
letter addressed to Mr. Golding is, I should say, in the
prisoner's handwriting.
Mr. Blundell, clerk to Messrs. Williams, Deacon,
and Co., said--No such person as James Ellis, the
name on the cheque as the drawer, keeps an account.
The cheque produced has been issued from our house,
but I cannot tell when or to whom. .1 received the
cheque-book produced from the officer. The cheques
which had been left in the book were severed from
the counterfoils in my presence. The cheque-book
produced was issued to a Mr. Elmore ten or fifteen
years ago.
Barnes (City police) said, that at half-past ten en
the morning of the 26th of September he went with
the prosecutor in search of the prisoner, and
met him
at the bottom of Crooked-lAm go was given into

custody, and he said, if the prosecutor would give him
time he would pay the money as soon as possible.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
David APlntyre, a fighting man, and Matthew
Bight, who were charged some days ago with having
had in their possession a 201. note, which had been
stolen from a gentleman named Watson, appeared for
reexamination.
Mr. Watson, not being able perfectly to identify
the note, the two men were discharged.
GUILDHALL.

John Desmond, of 48, Long-alley, Sun-street,
was charged before Mr. Alderman Carden with
stabbing.
Wm. Smith, 244, of the City Police, said, about
two o'clock yesterday afternoon I was passing out of
St. John's-court into \Vest-street, when I saw the
prisoner, with a number of other persons, standing at
the corner of Sharp's-alley. He had a number of
sticks, like the one I produce (a twisted stick, loaded
at the end and covered like a life-preserver), which he
distributed amongst his companions, retaining one
himself, which he held by the thinner or ferruled
end. I passed by him, and he said, " Good morn-
ing," and then said " Good night, I did not mean
morning," and began flourishing his stick about. I
took no notice of him, when he came behind,
holding the stick in his right hand, and made a blow
at my head, which I parried with my arm, and
knocked the stick out of his hand into the crowd.
lie said, " You I don't care for all the
police together." I caught hold of him
and asked him what he meant, and said if he re-
peated such conduct I should take him to the station,
but if he would go away quietly he might do so;
upon which he said he should not, and struck me a
blow across the collar with his hand. I then took
him into custody, and he became very violent, and a
struggle ensued, during which I was stabbed in the
breast, on my knee, and slightly on the left side of
my neck. On my clothes are the marks where the
knife penetrated, and also blood which flowed from
the wounds. (The wound in his breast had pene-
trated the coat and flannel shirt, whilst the stab at
the knee had gone through his trowsers and drawers.)
Mr. Alfred Sutch, of 11, Berkeley-street, St.
John's, Clerkenwell, said—l was standing at my
father's door, and saw the prisoner deliberately bran-
dish the stick in the officer's face. The policeman
warded off the blow, and then tried to persuade
Desmond to go quietly away, but he refused to do
so. The constable then took him into custody, upon
which the'prisoner threw himself down on the ground,
and a violent struggle ensued. When near Sharp's-
alley he again threw himself down, and then it was
that I saw an open knife in his hand, which he was
brandishing across the policeman's face. I instantly
seized ihim ,by the arm, jerked the knife out of his
hand into the crowd, and it was instantly picked up
by my brother as it fell at his feet.
The knife, which was produced, was a large clasp
one, and had been recently sharpened.
Mr. Sutch said that was the knife he saw in the
prisoner's hand, the large blade being opened.
Alderman CARDEN asked if Mr. Sutch's brother
was present P—The officer replied that he was not, on
account of business, but he would attend at a future
day.

Alderman CARDEN said it was important they
should have his evidence. Were there any more wit-
nesses ?
Francis Howard, of 161, Sharp's-alley, said
yesterday afternoon my attention was drawn to a
funeral that was about to take place, and I observed
the prisoner at the bar with a quantity of sticks, which
he gave to a young man to take care of, and kept one
for himself. He being a little in liquor I watched
his proceedings, and saw him try the stick by the side
of his leg, then strike the wall, after which he went
up to the policeman and shook it in his face. A
scuffle ensued, and after that, in the middle of West-
street, I saw a knife fall at the feet of Mr. Sutch's
brother. I told him to pick it up and take care of it,
which he did. lam satisfied the knife produced is
the same one.
Alderman CARDEN—Was he drunk ? Witness—
He had been drinking, but knew very well what
he was doing. All the people were yelling like a
parcel of hounds at the officer, and seemed not to care
or to have the slightest feeling as to how brutally Le
was treated.
Smith said, that while he was struggling with the
prisoner the mob continually pelted them with stones.
James Clift, constable at the West London Union,
said, about four o'clock the previous afternoon my
attention was called to a row in the street, and on
going to see what was the matter I found the officer
and the prisoner struggling desperately together,
surrounded by a mob of from 120 to 150 persons, who
were yelling, hooting, and throwing stones at the
officer. Smith called me to his assistance, upon which
the prisoner swore it should take half-a-dozen officers
to convey him to the station, and eventually it did
take five of us to get him there. I saw the officer's
knee was cut, and I also was kicked by the prisoner.
Mr. Charles Borlase Childs, surgeon to the City
Police force, said, I have examined Smith, and found
three punctured wounds, not very dangerous in them-
selves, but very serious in regard to their locality.
One of them is behind the angle of the jaw, on the
left side, over the carotid artery ; another near the
chest bone, between the first and second ribs on the
left side; and the third over the left knee. It is clear
to me that a very serious attack was made on the
man's life, not only from the attempt at his throat, but
the other parts in which he was wounded. Had the
knife gone but a trifle further, it must have wounded
the carotid artery, and nothing could have prevented it.
Alderman CARDEN—Then you think there was
serious mischief intended ? Mr. Childs—l do. It is
only a matter of surprise to me that it did not
penetrate so far, and I can only account for it that
the officer either drew his head back a little, or that
his stock must in some way have prevented the blow
taking effect.
The prisoner denied having any knife whatever in
in his hand.
Alderman CARDEN said he was charged with a
most serious crime, and he should remand him until

Wednesday next, for the production of the witness
who picked up the knife. The officer deserved great
credit for his forbearing conduct throughout; and if
there was any fund for deserving officers he thought
him entitled to a reward, and he should certainly
make some inquiries on the subject to effect that
object.

The prisoner was conveyed to th• Compter.
MARLBOROUGH-STREE7.
_

Charles Barris, John Cowliffe, Edward La he, John
Green, and Cornelius Denny, five rough-looking
lads, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged
with having been concerned in a disturbance at a
penny theatre in the New•road, and having broken
and destroyed property to a considerable amount.
the penny theatre where the disturbance occurred
is in Bath-place, New•road, and has been for some
months past the source of continual annoyance to
the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who
have repeatedly drawn the attention of the police to
the nightly assemblages of hundreds of young pick-
pockets and prostitutes, and begged to be relieved
from the nuisance. The proprietor, a person named
Lamb, has been summoned to this court, but nothing
effectual has hitherto been accomplished. About
fifty boys and girls, varying in age from eighteen to
sixteen, and of the lowest class, a fair sample of the
audience frequenting this penny theatre, were as-
sembled in the court to hear the fate of their com-
panions.

From the evidence it appeared that on Thursday
night the defendants and others were in the waiting-
room leading to the penny theatre, when one of the
party began " larking, and this soon led to a gene-
ral disturbance. The gas-lights were put out, a rush
was made at the money-taker's cash- box, and win-
dows were smashed in every direction. It required
the presence of several police-constables to quell the
riot.

Two of the defendants were pointed out by
Charles Clark, a mulatto lad, as the ringleaders of
the row. He was employed by the proprietors to
keep order at the theatre, but it was impossible on
the night in question owing to the violence of the
defendants. There were about 400 persons in the
theatre.

Henry Lamb, the proprietor, said it was with the
greatest difficulty the cash-box and its contents were
saved from the rioters. About 58 squares of glass
were broken, and some of the woodwork torn down.
The loss to him would be at least 31.

The defendants declared they took no part in the
disturbance and in the damage. They only flung
back a piece of canvas which some one for a lark
threw at one of their party.
A witness named College, on behalf of the defend-
ants, said, the mulatto Clark, who was employed to
keep order, was too drunk that night to perform his
duty. He came forward and challenged any one in
the house to fight, and witness accepted the challenge,
and made up a pugilistic match with him for 10s.
next Sunday morning.
Mr. 113nio Ham said he was very much inclined to
think that the disturbance was planned beforehand,
for the purpose of robbing the money-taker. But
even admitting it was only a lark, still the defendants
must be taught that where they broke and destroyed
property, and caused such a disturbance as had been
described, they would only be allowed to indulge in
such a lark for once in their lives. He should fine
them all 40s. each, or twenty-one days' imprisonment.
, _

to the robbery, but no clue to the missing man ; the
large sum in gold which he had received on the pre-
vious day from the French Embassy having been sub-
sequently, with a very trifling deficiency, traced to
the prisoners, one of whom, Mrs. M'Donald, a low-
looking woman with a crutch, alleges that she was
about to elope with M'Gowran, and declares that her
husband had always been extremely jealous of him.
Mr. BRODERIP further remanded the prisoners
until Thursday next.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A young man of dejected and miserable appear-
ance applied to Mr. Hammill for some pecuniary as-
sistance under the following circumstances :
The applicant stated that he had the misfortune
many years ago, when a mere boy, to be cast upon
the world without friends or means of subsistence,
and was in consequence led into association with a
gang of depraved characters, at whose instigation he
entered upon a course of robbery, which speedily
resulted in his apprehension, and subsequent trial and
conviction at the Old Bailey, where he was sentenced
to seven years' transportation. He had ever since
deeply regretted his past misconduct, and as soon as
the term fur which he had been sentenced expired, in
Van Diemen's Land, he was kindly permitted by the
captain of a merchant sessel to work his passage
home, with a determination on his arrival to: use his
best efforts to procure some honest employment, by
means of which he might hope to retrieve the charac-
ter he had lost. He reached the Pool on Saturday,
and was allowed to sleep on board the vessel for that
night, but the next morning was told by the Custom-
house officer in charge of the ship that he could not
stop there any longer, and he was therefore
obliged to go ashore, without a farthing
in his possession, or the slightest idea as
to where he could sleep the next night. He
was now entirely destitute and starving, and as he
had no friends in London but his former associates,
with whom he was resolved never to have any fur-
ther communication, and there was no chance what-
ever, in his present deplorable condition, of getting
employment anywhere, be was induced to lay his
case before the magistrate of this court, from which
he had been originally committed for trial, in the
hope that some trifle would be allowed him to assist
him on his road to Manchester, to which town he in-
tended to go on the tramp, for the purpose of seeking
out some distant relatives, who he thought still lived
there, and who would probably exert themselves to
introduce him into some kind of occupation by which
he could earn his own livelihood. The applicant pro-
duced his discharge from the colony, drawn up in
due form, and which bore out the statement of his
being the person he had represented himself to be.
Mr. Hasisiux, after perusing the document, said
that the situation of the unfortunate applicant was
certainly deserving of commiseration, and presented
him with a small sum from the poor-box for his
immediate exigences, for which the poor man ex-
pressed much gratitude.
The magistrate announced to the reporters his
receipt of a cheque for five guineas, per Mr. Unwin,
of the Colonial-office, who stated it to be a contribu-
tion from Mr. W. Fauquier, of Bennett-street, Bath, for
the relief of an aged woman named Jennings, the par-
ticulars of which cruel robbery by her grandson, a
watch-finisher, 25 years of age, have lately been
published. The following further subscriptions have
been also received on account of a working gunsmith,
named William Jones, the whole of whose goods
were seized and disposed of for a debt of 31. 18s.,
under an execution from the Palace Court, at the suit
of a Loan Society, under the harsh and oppressive
circumstances recently detailed in this paper :—" IV.
W.," ss. ; " J. J.," 10s.; " J. G.," 55.; " C. G.," ss. ;
and " S. D. 5.," 10s. ; " A Resident in the Country,"
ss. in postage stamps ; and Si. from " a Solicitor of
the Palace Court," who accompanied his donation
by a letter in which he expressed much sympathy for
the unfortunate man, and tendered his gratuitous ser-
vices to procure him redress, if possible, as he consi-
dered it a case of extreme hardship, and that, if he had
properly represented the facts, there would be little
difficulty, on application to the Judge, in obtaining a
reversal of the judgment, as being contrary to agree-
ment and good faith, and some satisfaction for the loss
_ _

he had sustained. It will no doubt be satisfactory to
the numerous benevolent persons who have kindly
come forward with donations for the unfortunate
man's relief, to be informed that the result of the in-
quiries instituted by Holland, the officer, into his
previous position and conduct have been highly satis-
factory, and that two letters have been forwarded to
the magistrate from, two of his former employers,
Messrs. Rigby and Keene, the eminent gun manufac
turers, whom he had served faithfully for about
thirteen years, altogether bearing high testimony to
his general character as an honest, industrious, and
well conducted man.
CLERKEN WELL.

John Potridge and James Reading, ruffianly-looking
fellows, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe,
charged with the following daring outrage :
It appeared from the evidence of numerous police
constables of the S division, that on Sunday forenoon
about half-past twelve o'clock, a gentleman, in a state
of intoxication, was pursued by the prisoners and
another low-looking fellow under pretence of protect-
ing him. They continued their mlnceuvres through
Great College-street, Camden-town, and caused a
great disturbance, much to the annoyance of the in-
habitants, who called upon the police to interfere,
when police-constable 288 S made his appearance and
remonstrated witti"gievritioners and their companion,
advising them to leave the gentleman, who was help-
less, and not to annoy the inhabitants. The prisoners
by their conduct caused a very large assemblage, when
a reinforcement of the police arrived, took the gentle-
man under their protection, who had been robbed of
hie watch, &c. The prisoners and their companions
evinced the most spiteful feeling towards the officers,
and, tearing up the iron railings in front of the houses
in Great College-street, made a desperate attack upon
there, swearing that they would do for the officers, who,
although they used every effort to defend themselves,
were seriously maltreated. The prisoners' companion
fought desperately until he received a violent blow on
the head from one of the constable's, when he was
carried away from the spot insensible by some of the
mob. The prisoners at the bar fought against the
officers with considerable violence and desperation
until they were overpowered, and after a violent re-
sistance they were locked up in the station-house
until yesterday morning, when, in consequence of the
excitement and alarm created in the neighbourhood,
the court was crowded to excess.
Holding, 288 S, said, he was on duty in Pratt-
' street, Camden-town, on Sunday afternoon, when
some inhabitants gave him information that a gang of
ruffians and thieves were persuing a gentleman who
was intoxicated, and evidently attempting to plunder
him. Witness proceeded to Great College street,
where he found the prisoners and another fellow
" bonnetting" the gentleman, pushing him about in
an unfeeling and blackguard manner, and on interfer-
ing for his protection the prisoners threw stones at
him;took off their coats, arid fought. The moment an
extra body of policemen arrived on the spot the pri-
soner Potridge gave a signal, when he seized hold of
the iron railings, tore them up with main strength,
and running at witness, exclaimed, " You —,
do for you," and rushing at him made a blow to
strike him down, but he warded it off, or he must
inevitably have been murdered; he took the railing
from the prisoner, who was apprehended but the
other man who escaped was well known, and is sup-
posed to have been taken to some hospital in conse-
quence of the injuries he had received. The gentle-
man whom they had robbed was.ao helpless through
liquor that the only information they could elicit
from him was that it was " all right," and that he was
a barrister residing at Hampstead.
Sergeant Wakefield, 37 S, had made inquiries at
various hospitals to trace the injured man who had
escaped, but was unable to find him.
Mr. COMBE inquired of the prisoners'what they had
to say to such ruffianly and cowardly conduct ?
They replied that they were going home, when
they met a gentleman who had been drinking a little
who invited them to drink with him, and treated
them at several public-houses until he became quite
drunk ; he then requested them to see him home to
Hampstead, which they were doing when the police
interfered with them. They denied the charges
against them.
Mr. COMO convicted both prisoners, and sen-
tenced them to six weeks' imprisonment each in the
House of Correction with hard labour.
search is making for the prisoners' companion
and subsequently a charge of felony will be exhi
bited against them.

Sulam! IN KENSINGTON•GARDENS.—Between five
and six o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a man of decent
appearance shot himself with a pistol in Kensington-
gardens. He was found shortly afterwards by one of
the garden constables, No. 5, lying in the plantation of
trees on the north-east side of the round pond, still
alive. Mr. Gardiner, surgeon of Paddington, was im-
mediately sent for, and found that the unfortunate man
had shot himself just above the navel, and that the
bowels were protruding. A stretcher was then sent for
to the Kensington station-house, and in the interim both
Mr. Gardiner and the constable asked him the cause of
his desperate act, but he refused to give them answers
on the subject. He was placed on the stretcher, for the
purpose of being conveyed to St. George's Hospital; but
on the way he expired, and the body was then removed
to the dead-house of St. Margaret's, Westminster, in
which perish the suicide had taken place. The deceased
appeared to be about fifty years of age, 5 feet 7 inches
high, dark hair inclining to grey, dressed in an invisible
green coat, much worn, striped trousers, shoes, and drab
gaiters. On him was found a silk handkerchief, a steel
ring, a pair of silver spectacles and case, a tobacco box,
and 2s. 7d. in money, but nothing tending to lead to his
identity. The body was not owi.ed yesterday.
Louis PHILIPPE IN CHELTENHAM.—A rumour has
obtained currency during the last few days that the
ex-King of the French intends paying a visit to Chel-
tenham, with a view of making it a place of per-
manent residence. The foundation or origin of the
rumour has not yet been discovered.--Glouceiter

LIVERPOOL, OCT. B.—The arrivals since Tuesday from
Ireland and coastwise are moderate of wheat, flour, and
malt, and large of oatmeal, and from Europe, the
United States, and Canada we have received liberal' sup-
plies of wheat, flour, and Indian corn, with fair quan-
tities of other articles. The exports in the same time
are small, with the exception of 4,012 barrels of flour.
There has been a fair demand for wheat and barrel flour
and late rates have been supported, but sack flour must
be quoted 6d per 280 lb lower. Indian corn not much
inquired for, yet former prices have been well main-
tained in the business done. Oats barely so well sold,
and oatmeal declined 6d per 2401 b. Barley, beans, and
peas remain as last quoted. At this morning's market,
in consequence of being held off the usual day, there
was a very thin attendance of the trade. Wheat of fine
quality, in some instances, brought ld per 701 b advance,
other descriptions ana new Irish remaining without
change in value. Sack flour met a slow sale at a reduction
of fully 6d per 2801 b. Barrel flour was quite neglected,
and prices rather in favour of buyers. A good demand was
experienced for Indian corn at an advance of fully 6d
per 4801 b, and 28s paid for some quantity of fine round
yellow. Barley, beans, and peas slow sale at former
prices. Oats rather easier to buy, and oatmeal receded
6d to 9d per 2401 b.

CHELMSFORD, OCTOBER s.—The market was this
day well supplid with wheat, and the trade dull at the
