THAMES- OFFICE.

Hendrick Harrizlaus, a seaman belonging to the Batavier
Dutch steam-ship, was charged with smuggling slbs. of to-
bacco and cigars and a bottle of Hollands gin on the river.
It appeared from the evidence of Bartlett, a Thames police-
constable, that he was rowing down the river in his own wherry
when he was hailed by the prisoner, who called out sin very
good English " Sculler ahoy." Bartlett seeing the prisoner
with a bundle in his hand standing on a barge alongside the
Batavier immediately suspected that he was about to run some
contraband goods, and took the Dutchman, who said he
wanted to be landed at Bermondsey, into his boat. On get-
ting him fairly afloat he asked him what he bad in the bundle,
and the prisoner, not suspecting that Bartlett was an officer,
unhesitatingly replied that it was " tabak." The officer, in-
stead of rowing him to Bermondsey, conveyed him to the
Thames police-office, and besides several packages of foreign
manufactured tobacco of which the bundle consisted, he found
some more concealed about his person and a quarter of a pound
of cigars under his clothes.
Mr. James Evans, chief surveyor of Thames police, said he
re-seized the tobacco, and further searched the prisoner on his
being introduced to him, and in his pocket he found a flat
stone bottle of Hollands gin. The prisoner said he gave Is.
a pound for the tobacco and cigars in Holland, and brought it
here for sale in the Batavier, and should have obtained 2s. 6d.
per pound for it.
Mr. GREENWOOD—A very profitable traffic.
The prisoner said it was all true. The Schiedam be in-
tended to drink ashore.

Mr. GREENWOOD said there was a good deal of smuggling
going en among the Dutch seamen, and there was no end to
it on board the Batavier. He sentenced the prisoner to pay
40s. to the Queen, and ordered the tobacco to be sent to the
Custom House.

Yesterday a Coroner's inquest was held at the Royal
Mail, Upper-street, Islington, on the body of Joseph Perry,
aged nine years, who was killed under circumstances of a most
appalling nature. It appeared from the evidence that the
deceased was the son of lab During persons residing in the Hol.
loway-road. On Wednesday evening last, between five and
six o'clock, he was sent by his parents on an errand, and in
going along the Liverpool road he got up behind a waggon,
without the knowledge of the waggoner, when, by some ac-
cident, his foot caught the spokes of the wheel, and before he
could give any alarm he was drawn between the wheel and the
waggon. The waggoner immediately stopped ; but it was
not until after the lapse of a few minutes that the body of the
deceased was discovered, when it was found entangled round
the axletree, mangled in a dreadful manner, and the
wheel was obliged to be taken off before the remains of the un .
fortunate child could be.. got out, and every bone in his body
was broken. No blame whatever was attributable to the wag-
goner. Verdict—" Accidental death."

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday morning a young
man named Scanlan went to the house, No. 20, Baker street,
Portman-square, to see his mother, who for some time past
has been employed, in the absence of the family, to take care of
the premises ; after knocking for some time, and receiving no
answer, he gained admittance by the next door, and on enter-
ing the bedroom on the first floor he beheld his parent lying
on the floor, quite dead ; a surgeon who examined the body
gave it as his opinion that she had died of apoplexy, and that
life had been some hours extinct. The deceased was upwards
of 60 years of age.
On Saturday night, as Miss Symonds, eldest
daughter of John Symonds, Esq., of Green Bank, Falmouth,
who had been spending the evening with some friends, was
returning to her father's house, attended by a man servant,
and when she had nearly reached the gate, some miscreants
caught hold of her dress, which terrified her to such a degree,
that on entering the house she became seriously ill, and con-
tinued so until Tuesday
_morning, when she expired from the
effects of the fright. We do not attempt to describe the feel-
ings of the' parents, who have thus wantonly and cruelly been
deprived of a lovely and acc d daughter, but they
triu,t be cnvi a)le in eflmparis,,li u,th tli.,si of the wretches t:,
whose scandalous misconduct this melancholy affliction has
been owing.—Cornwall Gazette.

COMPARISON OF FOREIGN GRAB

WITH THE ENGLISH MARKET.

The highest quotation of white wheat wheat of the first
quality at Hamburgh is 160 rixdollars current the last, which
answers to 49a. 2d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of
red wheat of the first quality is 155 rixdollars current the last,
which answers to 475. Bd. the quarter ; and therefore the
mean price at Hamburgh of white and red wheat together is
48s. sd. the quarter. The highest quotation of white wheat of the
first quality in London is 765. the quarter; and the highest
quotation of red wheat of the first quality is 725. the quarter ;
and therefore the mean price in London of white and red
wheat together is 745. the quarter. It appears, therefore,
that wheat is 52i per cent. dearer in London than at Ham-
burgh, and that with the sum of 3/. 14s. a man may buy 121
bushels of wheat at Hamburgh, whereas with the same sum he
can buy only 8 bushels in Lo,clon.
The highest quotation of Zealand white wheat of the first
quality at Amsterdam is 332 florins the last, which equals 535.
6d. the quarter, and the mean price of wheat in London being
745. the quarter, it follows that wheat is 391 per cent. dearer'
in London than at Amsterdam.
The highest quotation of white wheat of the first quality at
Berlin is 3 rixdollars 3 groschen the scheffel, which answeisto
50s. 9d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of whi=te
wheat of the first quality in London being 765. the quarter;.
the difference is 494 per cent that wheat is dearer in London,
than at Berlin.
The highest quotation of read wheat of the first quality at
Stettin is 54 dollars the wispel of 24 scheffels, which is equi-
valent to 36a. 10d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of
red wheat in London being 725. the quarter, it follows that
wheat is 95} per cent. dearer in London than at Stettin, and
that with the sum of 31. 12s. a man may buy 15a bushels of
wheat at Stettin, whereas with the same sum he can buy only
bushels in London.
The mean or average of the prices of wheat of the first qua-
lity at Hamburgh, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Stettin is 475.
4d. the quarter, and the mean price of wheat of the first
quality in London being 745. the quarter, the difference is
561 per cent. that the mean price of London exceeds the
mean price of the four above-mentioned places.

SUSPECTED LOSS OF ANOTHER STEAM -BOA.T•
—From the Edinburgh papers we much fear that the Northern
Yacht steam ship, which sailed from Newcastle for Leith on.
the morning of Thursday week, and ought in due course to
have arrived at the. latterplace the same evening, has foundered
or otherwise been destroyed at sea, and all on board perished.
She is reported to have had thirty passengers on board. The
Sunderland Herald says—" We regret to have to announce'
that serious apprehensions are entertained for the safety of
this vessel ; she left the Tyne for Leith on Thursday, the-
llth instant, between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning, and
called off North Sunderland to land a passenger, in the after-
noon of the same day; and immediately after the dreadful
gale came on, the melancholy and disastrous effects of which
we have elsewhere noticed. Since that time she has not been
seen or heard of. We understand that there were from eight
to ten passengers on board, in addition to the crew, which
consisted of twelve men, and the Stewardess. The Yacht
was not deeply laden ; her cargo consisting principally of
furniture and light goods."--( Further Particulars from the
Scotsman). —From the inquiries we have made we learn that
the Northern Yacht was seen by the lighthouse-keeper on the
Ferne I-lands to pass on Thursday afternoon at four o'clockr
but have not heard that she was seen by any vessel on any parr
of her course. Two Newcastle steamers, which sailed sub
sequently, have arrived at Leith, without having- obtained
any news regarding her except the particulars here detailed.
One of them belonging to the same Company examined the
coast and made every inquiry, but nothing further had trans.-
pired up to last night ( Friday). Various contradictory re-
ports, however, arc circulating on the subject. The master
of a sloop laden with herrings from Shetland, states that be'
saw a steamer and four or five other vessels labouring . under.
the violent gale of Thursday week while he was crossing the
Pentland Frith, and that shortly after the whole disappeared.
Another account bears that cries were heard by the inhabitants
of the Bass Rock from persons in a vessel in distress; a third,
that part of a wreck was seen near the Ferne Islands the day
before yesterday ; but the arrival of a steamer yesterday
morning from Berwick brings no accounts whatever regarding
the unfortunate vessel. It was currently stated last night alto
that intelligence had been received that, after being driven
about at sea for several days, she had at length put into Scar'
borough Bay, but we have not been able to trace the report to
any satisfactory source. Under these circumstances it were
idle to speculate farther as to her probable fate. From the
length of time, however, that has now expired since her dal
of sailing, the worst may be apprehended.
MANCHESTER BOROUGH REVISION.—'
SCr
months ago a knot of Tories originated in this town a eef-
rough Association, which had for its object the getting We
borough into the hands of the Tories ; which object was to be
gained by the dissemination of Tory notions, and especially
by activity in the Registration Courts. Of course our readers.
will be prepared for corresponding results in the registratiol_l:
just closed. First, as to the objections, it appears that, of 50
Tories objected to, 47 have been struck off ; while, of 43 Re-
formers objected to, only 28 have been struck off. This dis-
poses pretty clearly of the point as to the frivolous character
of the objections, and is tolerably significant as to the party
excelling in making such objections. The Tories' loss, then,
on the objections alone, is nineteen ; but, on referring to the
column of claims, it will be seen that only five have been sub-
stantiated by Tories, while the Reformers have added twenty-
two to their numbers, making a further gain of seventeen to
the Reformers, whose total gain in the borough, on this re
tration and revision, is 36 votes, notwithstanding all the
boors of of the Tory " Manchester Borough

ot..
their utter dismay they had not proceeded far before abb la
keeper stepped up to them and demanded their authority ; t

having none to g

ately seized one of them by his " head and shoulders ;"
other, who had smoked the last cigar that he had brought W°
him, but had got plenty more at home, scampered off over
hedges, ditches, gates, and stiles, and saved himself, but left hiss
friend to his fate ; and sad was that fate; he was taken as
prisoner a distance of five miles before two Magistrates, `fie
fined five pounds and some considerable expenses.
