TOWN-HALL.

A gentleman from the office of Mr. Atkinson, the Solicitor
of Clement's Inn, attended before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, on
behalf of a person named Jonas Solomons, the keeper of a
refreshment house opposite the Surrey theatre, to answer the
complaint of an informer's witness of the name of Goose.
Goose stated that last Sunday week, he observed the shop
of Mr. Solomons open at nearly two o'clock in the morning.
Several persons were then in the shop, being served with
oysters and other articles. Witness, after calling the attention
of the policeman on duty to the circumstance of the shop being
open at so late an hour, went in and had a bottle of soda-water.
He believed the house to be the worst house in the parish, and
was a receptacle for females of loose character. On being
cross-examined, Goose admitted that he was an informer's
witness, and got 3s. 6d. a-day for his trouble.
The policeman on duty corroborated the statements of
Goose in several particulars.
On behalf of Mr. Solomons, it was submitted that the in-
formation was good for nothing, inasmuch as the locality was
not proved, and the offence had been said to have been com-
mitted on a wrong day.
Mr. Alderman LUCAS overruled these objections, and fined
the defendant 20s. and costs.

burgh mails, and ship letters from Mogador, Buenos Ayres,
Calcutta 21st May, and Bombay 14th June.
We have not as yet received the American Papers and
letters by the Sheffield, from New York, of the 24th ult.

THE FUNDS.
There being so few arrivals this morning, causes a dearth
of information in the City—consequently little is doing as
yet in the various funds.

88 for the Account ; Money, 884 i ; Exchequer Bills,
1 3 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock, 208 209 ; India

HALF-PAST ONE.

M. Ardouin the French banker, and M. Durou the
Spanish Consul at Bayonne, arrived this morning at 6
o'clock in London, and we are informed that the negocia-
tions for funds to meet the Spanish dividends are so for-
ward, notwithstanding the reports spread, that very little
remains to be settled, in order to advertise them in due
course. _ . _ _

It is generally reported that it is the intention of the
Bank Directors to augment their rate of interest to 51 per
cent. on bills of a long date ; this has had the effect to
prevent a rise in the British funds.
The Government broker commenced this day the quar-
terly purchase of One Penny and Half-penny Exchequer
Bills, by buying ten thousand at 5 per cent., discount.
Although a large purchase was made in Consols in the
morning, up to the present time it has had no effect on the
market. Consols are 884 ; for Money the same. Exche-
quer Bills, 4 6 discount ; Twopenny ones, par ; India
Bonds, 2to 4 prem. ; Bank Stock, 204 2051, ex-
dividend.

The Earl of Cork sent 501. to the House of Indus-
try in that city last week, and the Earl of Shannon a like sum
to the Youghal Protestant Relief Society.
Mr. Asheton Smith, the Member for Carnarvon-
shire, has returned from Wales to take charge of his hunting
establishment near Weyhill.
At the Court Leet for the Great Liberty Manor in
Southwark, among other things, the jury presented as a
nuisance a ditch at the bottom of Melior-street, Gimber's-
rents. This ditch is a common-sewer, and as such comes
under the cognisance of the Commissioners of Sewers, who
have most improperly allowed it to he in its present state
since 1830. The Recorder, as Steward of the Manor,
stated that he should advise an indictment, unless the nui-
sance was removed immediately.
A daring highway robbery was committed at
Saxilby, near this city, on Wednesday last, about six o'clock.
Mr. Harrison, of Thorney, Nottinghamshire, was proceed-
ing on the road towards Drinsey Nook, when he was stopped
by three men and three women, who commenced ill-treating
him in a dreadful manner, which they persevered in till he
told them to take his money and spare his life. They rifled
his right hand pocket of a 5/. note, two sovereigns, and four
half-crowns, and after threatening to murder him, ran away.
They fortunately did not search the other pocket, or they
would have found a more valuable booty. Mr.
,Harrison,
accompanied by a lad, who saw the thieves running away,
shortly after came to Lincoln, and gave information of the
robbery to the police. Tuxford soon got a clue of the
party, and traced them to a house at the corner of Mo-
therby-lane, where three of the policemen kept watch the
whole night, and the next morning apprehended them.
Tuxford, we understand, had a pitch•fork thrust in his face
upon entering the house, but being followed by others, they
sucgegded iu capturing the whole gang, On Friday morn-
ing they were examined, and pommitted for trial at the
assizes.--Lincoin Gazcttc,

come of age on that day ; and as no festivities will take
place either at Miltoo or Wentworth, ;his admirable plan
has been adopted by the considerate Nobleman for gratify-
ing the poor on the occasion.—Lincoln Gazette.
