TO the CLERK of the WEATHER.

Clerk of the weather, pardon my audacity,
In writing to a personage like tkee ;
And kindly condescend, in thy capacity,
To listen to a word or two from me.
I wish from one, who understands the weather,
To ascertain the length of Winter's tether.

flow long will Winter, with an aspect surly,
Retain possession, now his lease is out ?
The Spring glad ckanges—thou know'st is far from early—
And seems to hesitate in doubt.
Oh I fir. Clerk, I would that my barometer
Would indicate a rise in the chronometer.

The world of fas;lion, when this weather closes,
A beautiful appearance will a3sume ;
Yes, well I know, from what is done by MOSES,
That thousands will be clothed in prime costume.
MOSES and SOS this Spring-time will endeavour
Lo furnish better articles than ever.
MOSES and SON'S Establishment is teeming
With Coats, and Tests, and Trowsers choicely made ;
And many an eye with satisfaction beaming,
Has made selections from this stock in trade.
Such clothes as these were never put together,
And crowds are longing for a change of weather.
Hats, Boots, and Shoes, and Ilosiory, too, are ready
At MOSES' Mart, In waiting for the Spring;
I really wish the weather would be steady,
That we might don the dress of which I sing.
'rims may it be—and ere these ilea are printed,
kaY Winter do what I've politely hinted.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
In our advocacy of a Financial reform, itt will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. Dow this may
be effected the following outline of our Bevel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show. Possessing large establishments
In most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits arc calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
figures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, APRIL 24.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—As we anti-
cirated in our last circular, the supplies of foreign grain to this
port have begun to fall off; the extension of the period of
blockaded ports to the 30th was announced too late for opera-
tions on any scale being practicable for furnishing an extra and
sudden supply for this country, and although more wheat will
6nd its way hither than was at one time anticipated, yet we
may be quite sure that the trade will for some time be free from
those sudden and large supplies which we have heretofore had
occasion to report. The transactions since this day se'anight,
though on the aggregate to a fair extent, have not had that
life about them which the business prior to Tuesday led us to
expect ; in point of fact, the advance was too rapid and impor-
tant to last without a check, and there is certainly less buoyancy
at the close than cow mencement of the week ; should the
blockade however last, there is no doubt whatever, that demand
exceeding supply will again push up value. We speak of wheat
mainly, which is the great article of consumption in this
district, and it certainly is in no excess as regards
stocks in warehouse. We had for to. day's market a
large supply' of wheat from our own farmers, who
evince every disposition to make the most of the probable
interruption to foreign supplies, and asked extravagant prices.
Our millers were tolerably free buyers at is to 2s per quarter
under last week's rates. Not much foreign wheat offering, and
no disposition being evidenced on the part of holders to give
way in price, the business done was really limited. Afore tran-
sactions in malting barley ; grinding qualities also attract
more attention. Beans maintain their late advance, but can-
not again be quoted dearer. Oats and peas are fully as dear.
Without arrivals of linseed, and having but a moderate stock in
granary, an advance of is per quarter has been obtainable on
the sales effected ; cakes have made a decided though sudden
start from 'a 7s 6d to 6. per ton, at which latter price some
sales have been made fur delivery July to December, both in-
clusive. A little rapeseed has been sold at 29! 10s, but this is
an extreme price. No rape cakes afloat, and our quotations
fully established. A fair business passing in bones, and arrivals
meet ready buyers at full prices

LIVERPOOL, Aram 24.—The exports have been on a large
scale this week, and the list shows an excess over the imports
of 8,248 quarters of Indian corn, 2,348 barrels of Indian corn
meal, and 5,729 barrels of flour. The quantities of wheat are
nearly balanced. The general business during the past week
has been on a small scale, and, excepting oats and oatmeal,
which have supported their value, the turn has been in buyers'
favour. The weather has been unseasonable, but it is con-
sidered
not to have materially affected the agricultural pros-
pects. We had a fair attendance of town and country millers
at our market to-day, and there was a steady moderate demand
for wheat, at a reduction of 2d to 3d per bushel on the prices
of last Tuesday. Flour sold at a decline of 6d to is per barrel.
Oats and oatmeal brought full prices. Barley, beans, and
peas maintained late rates. There was a fair demand for In-
dian corn, at similar prices to those obtained this day rennight.

, LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, April 24.
(Sittings in Banco.)
PRITCHITT v. SMART.
Mr. Sergeant BYLES said he had to apply to their
Lordships for a rule to show cause-why the plaintiff
should not produce to the defendant a broker's book.
This was an application under the Stock jobbing Act
(7th George 11., cap. 8). It appeared from the affidavits
that this was an action on a bill of exchange, and that
the plaintiff was the indorsee and a stock-broker in the
city of London. The defendant was acceptor as be-
tween the drawer and acceptor of the accommodation
bill. The Bth section of the Stock jobbing Act prohibits
the buying and selling stock of which the parties are not
actually possessed at fhe time of the contract, and also
imposes a penalty o: 1001. on the broker negotiating such
a contract. Then it provided that every broker should
keep a book, which should be called the broker's book,
in which he was to enter all contracts and agreements
that he made, to the intent that such broker should
from time to time produce the same book or register.
The COURT said it was not pretended that the de•
fendant had any equitable interest in the book; and,
inasmuch as its production would subject the party to
penalties, the rule ought not to be granted. The refusal
of a bill of discovery in equity in an analogous case was
conclusive against the summary interference of a court
of law, which ought not to interfere in such a case, but
in support of a supposed equitable right, and to save
the party from going into equity. The motion failed
upon principle in every respect, and must therefore be
refused.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Mr. Richard Crossley, of Bolt-court, Fleet-street, ad-
vertising agent, addressed Alderman Lawrence, and said
that a young man bad been brought up at this court on
Saturday last for obtaining certain moneys under false
pretences, by representing himself as an advertising
agent-connected with the British Banner and the Patriot
newspapers. When charged he gave his name as John
Crossley although his real name was John Cohen, and
his (applicant's) object was, as a report of the case had
appeared on Monday, to obviate the injury which might
result to him if urcontradicted.
Alderman LAWRENCE said, he had no doubt the press
would take notice of what Mr. Crossley had said. It
was known on Saturday that the prisoner had not given
his real name, but they could not then get at his right
one.
Mr. Crossley:then thanked the magistrite` and with.

he a rote a letter inquiring the particulars, and received
a letter, signed "I'. Hay," and dated 24th of March,
No. 2, Cannon row, Westminster, stating that the ap-.
pointxnent was that of one of her Majesty4scbapisins at
a salary commencing at 601. a year, the nomination being

being demanded as a remuneration for the services of
the negotiator. Some further correspondence took
place, and the complainant was induced to part with up-
wards of 1001. on the promise that his appointment
should be gazetted immediately, which of course never
was done. The prisoner Alves was charged with having
subsequently endeavoured to obtain money from Mr.
Griffin, under the pretext of prosecuting Hay for the
fraud practised upon the complainant, and upon another
clergyman under similar circumstance,,.
The prisoners were ordered to put in bail, themselves
in the sum of 5004 and two sureties in 2501. each, to
answer the charge in a week.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
The court was like a fair, in consequence of the at-
tendance of persons to give information against the
woman a ho has for some time past gone about obtaining
gpods and getting into debt in various quarters under the
assumed title of the Countess of Carlisle.
From the inquiries of the police, it appears that the
prisoner has passed under various names in this country
and in Ireland, of which latter place she is a native.
From letters found in her possession, it would seem that
her maiden name was Dawson, and that she was the
daughter of Captain Dawson, of the 100th Foot. The
prisoner is supposed to have several sons, as a copy of
verses was found in her possession, addressed to her
youngest son, Irwin Gilldea, who had recently been sent
out to India. The name, however, she is best known by
is Wetherelt. It was in that name she toe k apartments
at Mr. Wake's house, 32, St. Martin-street, where she
conducted herself with such profligacy, that it was found
necessary to give her notice to quit, through the medium
of Mr. W. H. Austin, solicitor, of St. Martin-street. In
reply toepthisetlneo:_tice that gentleman read the fol-
lowing

"The Countess of Carlisle scarcely considers a strange
vulgar production, which she has received purporting to
come from Mr. W. H. Austin, worthy of notice. How-

publicity which the case has obtained, a lady came for-
alnwoomona
ward and intormtd the police that the prisoner had
passed by the name of Madame Carvina, and
cshoueer
that she had obtained 700 L from her by
artful representations. The prisoner had ordered a
largo number of pairs of stays from a West-end
tradesman named Marriott, which she had ordered to
be sent to Thomas's Hotel, addressed to the Countess
of Carlisle. Two tradesmen in Tottenham-court-road,
r
one a jeweller and the other a fancy article dealer, had
considerable orders from the person in the name
of the Countess of Carlisle. These parties, however,
would not part with any of their goods, and the
prisoner then gave directions that the property should
be sent to the Earl of Carlisle's residence, who would, as
she said, immediately pay for them. Numerous cases
of a similar kind were discovered. In the course of
their inquiries the police ascertained that the prisoner
is the same woman who made latr way into the Palace
a few years ago, when her language and demeanour
were so inexplicable that it was presumed she was
under some mental delusion. She was taken to Bow-
street, and being pronounced out of her mind by several
medical gentlemen, she was sent to the County Lunatic

several letters which fully satisfied him the prisoner was

Police-constable Boyce said he had seen Lord Carlisle,
and his Lordship had informed him that the prisoner
had obtained 40/. by means of forgery when was in
Ireland, and when he was Secretary for Ireland. He
was quite willing to come forward and prosecute, as he
was but one of the public in such a case, because he
believed the prisoner was connected with a gang of
swindlers.
