LONDON, WEDNESDAY EV

ThQ CONMON-SERGEANT—row, Mrs. Ilerris, what
eharactti•r has she borne all along ? Witness—l am sorry

had girl.

the union.

ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.---Mary Ann Aldridge was
indicted for feeling two 31 notes, the property of Mr.
Alfred Cooper, an efticer in the East India Company's
service. .

The prisoner was servant to the prosecutor's brother,
who resides at Streatham, and she stole the notes from a
waistcoat pocket of the prosecutor, which he had left in
his bedroom. When taxed with the robbery she denied
all knowledge of the notes, but they were subsequently
traced to her possession.
The prisoner, in her defence, said she found the notes.
The jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to
four months' imprisonment.
ATTEMFTED HAPE.—A respectably attired middle-
aged man, named Charles Boardman, described as a
hoot maker, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging
him with feloniously and carnally knowing and abusing
Mary Elizi Sarah Southey, a little girl between eleven
and twelve years of age.
Mr. WOOLLEY, who was instructed to prosecute, called
the attention of the Court to the fact that it appeared
from the depositions that the prisoner communicated a
loathsome disease to the child.
The prisoner said—l throw myself upon the mercy of
the Court.

Tha Court sentenced him to twelve months' imprison-
ment in the Hour o of Correction.

MANSION 110USE-(THIS DAY.)

FELONY THROUGH HUNGER.—A man named Jot„ i
Hicks was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor
charged with felony.
From the statement of a City police-officer, the poor
fellow entered Smith's pastry-cook's shop i❑ the Poultry
last night, and stole some buns.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, stated that he
hut walked from Chatham on 4tn empty stomach, and
could not deny the robbery.
Not being known by the polies, the Lord Mayor com-
mitted the prisoner for 14 days*, (much to the poor fel-
low's delight), and afterwards to be passed to Chatham
back again.

111ARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
WATCHES WERE MADE TO Go.—Charles Somervi'le,
a well 'mown thief, was placed before Mr. Hardwicke,
charged on suspicion of bring concerned, with a woman
not in custody, in stealing from ihe person of Mr. Fre-
derick Collis, a gentleman residing at N 0.3, Mill-street,
Hanover-square, a silver watch 'laid chain, value 41.
It appeared from the evidence that about twelve
o'clock on the previous night the prosecutor was pro-
ceeOing down Sherrard-street, Soho, when he was ac-
costed by a female. Before he, had time to reply she
snatched his watch and chain from his waistcoat
pocket, and immediately ran off. Just as he
was on the point of pursuing her, the prisoner came
up, and placing himself directly in front of him,
prevented prosecutor from following the woman.
The prosecutor finding he could not get away threatened
to give the prisoner in charge, when the latter said.
"Oh, my dear fellow, its no use speaking like that,"
but on his still expressing his determination to give him
in charge he ran away as fast as he could. Witness
pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," and " Police," as
far as Compton-street, when he was stopped by a con
stable and taken to the station.

Constable, 41 C, proved stopping the prisoner and
taking him to the station, where ho was searched, and
2/. 9s. 3d. found upon him. The watch has not been
found.

Another constable said he saw the prisoner, who was
well known to the police, in Regent-street, in company
with a woman who was a convicted thief, and who was
notorious ihr committing street robberies of this de-
scription.
Mr. LIARDWICKE remanded the prisoner for a week.

SYMPTOMS OF THE SEASON.--A stormy petrel
(Mother Carey's Chicken) was found on Friday in the
neighbouring parish of Bawdrip. This is unusually
early. and betokens a hard winter.—Bridgewater Times.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT FISHwICR,
NEAR PRESTON. —An inquest was held on Friday last,
at Preston, before Mr. Palmer, coroner, on the body of
ileury Kirkham, who met his death in consequence of
an explosion which took place at the cotton-mill of
Messrs. Swainson, Birley, and Co., the particulars of
which catastrophe were published in The Sun of Saturday
last. The verdict was ore of" Accidental Death." The
other unfortunate man, John Cooke, who was so sadly
injured, has died since the unfortunate occurrence.
DEATH OF THE Ray. ROBERT SWAN, OF ST.
MONANOE.—We regret to have to record the death of
the Rev. Robert Swan, minister of St. Monance, which
took place at Abercrombie manse. Mr. Swan was up-
wards of seventy years of age, and had been minister
of St. Monance for forty-five years. For a good many
years past he has been disabled by bad health, the
parochial duties having lately been di charged with
great faithfulness by Mr. Foggo, his assistant and suc-
c,'ssor.—Fifeshire Journal.
MONET MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 12 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17 s.
100. peg ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25,45; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
Ilamburgh the price of gold is 437; per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard sold, gives an exchange of 13.111; and the
exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being
13.121, it follows that gold is 0.51, per cent, dearer in
London than in Hamburg', •
Taciturnity is best learned among men who have

HAWKCIIURCU, DORSETSHIRE.—We regret to find
that the bighlpesteemed rector of this place, the Rev.
Dr. Rudge, vas seized with paralysis a few days since,
hortly after his return from London, whither he bad
gone to see his son embark on board the ship of which

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, TuEspAv.—By the arrival off the port
of the packet ship New World, Captain Knight, after
a quick passage of little over 17 days, we have advices
from New Yo: k to the 9th inst., being three days
later than those received by the Europa.
Our advices contain scarcely anything worthy of
notice. An influential memorial from the merchants
and others of New York had been presented to the
President, asking for the establishment of a direct
semi-monthly mail between that port and Chagres.
This line, if established, and the line already provided
for by Act of Congress carrying the mails between
New York, Charleston, Savannah, Havannah, New
Orleans, and Chagres, would give to the whole At-
lantic coast a means of intercourse with the Pacific
far exceeding those now enjoyed, and yet no more
than are required by the vast emigrations to the gold
regions, and the commercial interests which have
sprung up in that region.
Considerable preparations were said to be making
in Montreal for a grand annexation_ meeting, which
was to be held on the Sth inst.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

N. EW YORK, Nov. 9.—Money continues easy for all
business purposes, and we do not observe any advance in
rates. The entire range of :quotations is from Bto 12
per cent, though operations are rarely made at less than
9, and quite as seldom at any rate above 10. Something
of an undefined, distrustful, hesitating feeling has been
apparent in financial circles, occasioned by the recent
specie export.)The declining tendency of exchange since
the last steamer has, in a great measure, removed that
feeling, and everything which has an influence and
bearing upon our money relations tends to strengthen
and c,.nfirm the opinion that we are yet moving towards
greater abundance. Without any considerable increase
in the amount of business transacted in stocks, the market
has assumed a firmer tone, and quotations, in the agre-
gate, are higher. In manufacturing there is but little
activity. and no improvement in quotations; sales are
confined to a very few of the best and most profitable.
Cotton—The sales of the day amount to 2.500 bales.
Of this quantity 1,800 were taken for export. Importers
are free sellers. The market is well supplied with new
Uplands, ranging from good middling to fully fair. A
telegraph of the sth inst., from Mobile, reports the
receipt of the Hilyrnia's advices, and the effect on that
market; middling is quoted at 10Ic., au advance of fully
half a cent. The anxiety- to realise on the part of
receivers of cotton from Charleston and Savannah has
neutralized in this market the Ilibernia's advices, the
annexed quotations being the same as those current
prior to their receipts :

New Orins.

and Upland. and Texas.

Middling to good middling ... 101 to 11 102-3 to 11i
Middling fair to fair
Fully fair and fine ll to 12 12A- to 13
Flour, &c.--There was more inquiry for flour to-day,
but we do not observe any change in prices. Sales of
straight brands of Western have been made at 4 dulls.
81c. to 5 dolls. 12/c., prime Genesee, 5 dolls. 12ic. to 5
dolls. 250.; S Althorn, 5 dolls. 3142. to 5 dolls. 50c. for
common brands; Jersey corn meal, 3 dolls. 12/c.; rye
flour, 3 dolls. 311 c. to 2 dolls. 87ic. Wheat is in fair
demand; Genesee brings 118 c. to 120 c. 800 bushels of
Canadian wheat sold at 106 c. in bond, and a lot of in-
ferior barley at 552. Corn is in fair request, sales of
mixed hare teen made to some extent at 63ic. to 65e.;
flat yellow at 65c., and round at 65/0. Oats steady at
39c. to 40c.

Freights remain without change. Cotton to Liver-
pool 7.32 d; flour, Is. 3d. to is. 61.; grain, 3id. to sd.

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal IVest India mail packet; Teviot, Cap-
tain Hewett, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and
landed her mails under the charge of Lieutenant R.
Percival, R.N., Admiralty agents:
The dates'received by the Teviot are—Vera Cruz,
18th Oct.; Tampico, 14th Oct. ; Havar:nah, Ist
Nov. ; Honduras, 12th Oct.; Jamaica, 224 Oct.;
St. Jago de Cuba, 19th Oct.; Guiana, 19th Oct.;
Trinidad, 22d Oct ; Barbadocs, 29th Oct.; Antigua,
30th Oct.; Martinique, 30th Oct. ; Grenada, 23d
Oct. ; Porto Rico, 26th Oct.; St. Thomas, 31st
Oct.; Bermuda, 12th Nov.
The Teviot's freight consists of 419,451 dollars
from Mexico (112,000 of which are on account of
Mexican dividends, (16 ozs. gold dust; 4671. 7s. 6d.
'British coin ; 164 serons of cochineal ; 140 bales
tobacco ; 65 cases cigars ; 17 casks arrowroot ; 13
packages succades ; 41 packages sundries.
There were 37 passengers on board the Teviot on
the homeward voyage.
The movements of the West India steam-packets
are as follows :—The Tay is the next ship home from
the Spanish Main ; the Avon had sailed for the
Spanish Main ; the Dee for the Gulf of Mexico ; the
Great Western for Bermudah and New York; the
Conway and Eagle for the northern islands and
Demerara.

The Teviot experienced terrific weather in the
Gulf. She was unable to communicate with the
shore during three days that she was off Vera Cruz,
on account of the tempestuous state of the weather.
She was obliged to call at Tampico the second time
for mails, also on account of the weather.
Disease had almost decimated the inhabitants of
Vera Cruz. It is expected that a very large remit-
tance will be sent home next month for the Mexican
dividends—not less than half a million of dollars.

Her Majesty's ship Trincomalee had been sent
round from Halifax to Havannah to watch the move-
rnents of the Americans in the Cuba affair.
The dates from Jamaica are only one day later than
those received via New York, through the Crescent
City. Fine rains had fallen in Jamaica, which were
much required in many districts. The climate had
become considerably cooler, and the island was
healthy, with the exception of several cases of diar-
rhoea. Preparations were being made by some
planters to cultivate tobacco, and it was stated Ja-
maica could supply half the world with tobacco and
cigars, with great advantage to herself, if the planters
would only lay themselves out for the systematic
cultivation of the tobacco plant, for which the EOll and
climate of the island are quite as favourable as those
of Cuba or Porto Rico. The dread of cholera, which
had seized the minds of many of the inhabitants, had
passed away.
From Demerara advises are to the 19th of October.
The new Franchise Bill has passed the Court of Po-
licy, and the Tax Ordinance renewed till March
next, should the Combined Court not enact a regular
tax in the meantime. Several addresses had been
presented to Governor Darkly, in a tone of re-
spect and regret at the depressed condition into
which recent events had plunged the colony. The
old civil list quarrel was apparently consigned to ob-
livion. All public business was suspended pending
the result of the ensuing elections. The Hon. Mr.
Stanley, M.P. for the borough of King's Lynn, the
eldest son of Lord Stanley, and grandson of the Earl
of Derby, had arrived at Georgetown. The object of
his visit is said to be to acquire information concern•
ing the 'West India possessions of the Crown, and thus
qualify himself for the better discharge of his public
duties as a member of the Imperial Parliament. Mr.
Stanley proceeds, it is said, from Demerara to Tri-
nidad, Jamaica, and other parts of the West Indies ;
and thence proceeds to Panama, and crosses over the
Isthmus to the Pacific. A few more African immi-
grants bad arrived. The weather had been favour-
able to the planters.
Lieutenant Mills, R.N., Admiralty agent of the
Royal Mail steamer Eagle, had appeared before
the Sheriff of Demerara, to'swear the peace against
the commander, chief officer, and purser of that
steamer. A warrant was accordingly granted and
those gentlemen brought before the Court and
obliged to enter into their own recognizance of 201.,
and a surety of 51. each, to keep the peace towards
the gallant officer. The affair caused great amuse-
ment in Demerara, where all the parties were well
known for their excellent good humour and jovial
natures.
