then arrived at the garden of N 0.2, Upper Bedford-place.
They had seen two men crossing the wall and getting in
there, but they then lost sight of them. Supposing that
they had gone down into an area in that garden, they paused
and sprung their rattles. In the course of a few minutes
they were joined by another constable, E 51, and with him
they descended into the area. There were there two cellars,
in one of which Wright was concealed, and in the other
Thomas. Upon Thomas he found a tea spoon, a sugar tongs,
and a large clasp knife. He afterwards found in the garden
they had passed through, a pair of silver candlesticks, one of
which was broken, and a gold watch.
Policeman E 99, who, being very faint from loss of blood,
was allowed to sit down, corroborated this stetement.
Policeman, E 51, went to the cellars where they had been
taken, and found the numerous articles of plate. &c.
In the cellar where Thomas was hid several skeleton keys
were found by policeman, E 110.
Thomas Smith, servant to Mr. Hayes, Russell-square, se.
cured the doors, he., last night, and on being roused by the
police, found that an entry had been effected by the back
parlour window.

The property having been identified as belonging to Mr.
Hayes,

Sir.IIFAIRY committed them for trial, Wright for the bur-
glary, and Thomas on both charges.
Mr. Palmer, a gentleman living in Russell-square, said,
that so impressed was he with the energy and courage of
the police in this matter, that he came down to the court
this morning, sacrificing important business in order that he
might state his opinion and that of his neighbour. Any one
who knew the locality would understand what difficulties
they had to meet, and how bravely they had overcome them.
Mr. llKsay said he fully agreed with Mr. Palmer, and
he Neighed the inspector to report the two constables, E 09
and 53, as especially meritorious.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Henry Jones, alias Williams, was brought beforo Mr.
Hardwick, charged with going to the residence of Captain
Patton, R.N., No. 6, Dean-street, Park-lane, with a false
message, for the purpose of committing a felony.
Joseph Higgins, butler to Captain Patton, stated, that last
night, about seven o'clock, the prisoner came to his master's
residence, and said, that he was sent from Mr. Bird's, boot-
maker, Oxford-street, for a pair of boots, which were to be
stretched. Witness was in the act of going up stairs to
his master with the message, when he looked over the
bannisters, and saw the prisoner take two great coats
oil the pegs, and was in the act of tying them up in a hand-
kerchief, when witness darted upon him, and held him till a
policeman was sent for, into whose custody he was at once
consigned.
The prisoner, in defence, said, that he was sent to the
house by some person whose name he did not feel inclined to
disclose.

Inspector Whall said, that the prisoner was committed
from this court on the 17th of January, for stealing an
umbrella from the residence of Sir Thomas Wilde. If the
prisoner was remanded for a few days, he had several other
charges which could be proved against him.
Mr. linanwicsc remanded him for a week.
eurounc Williams, a wen-aressea renime, was brought up
on a charge of creating a disturbance at the residence of Mr.
Morse, No. 83, New Bond-street.
Mrs. Matilda Morse said that about six o'clock last even-
ing the defendant came to her house with a letter addressed
to Lord Frankfort (who lodged in the house), and said that
she wished to wait for an answer. Witness told her that
there was no occasion for her doing so, as his Lordship
would not assist her. The defendant, instead of going away
quietly, threw herself down in. the passage, and began
screaming in such a fearful manner as to quickly cause a mob
to assemble. The defendant still persisting in her extraor-
dinary conduct, witness sent for a policeman, and gave her
in charge.
The defendant, in tears, said, that she went to the house
by the express desire of Lord Frankfort, wbo had known her
for many years. She was in great trouble, and took the
note to his Lordship to inform him how she was situated, as
he had told her repeatedly to call upon him whenever she
was in distress. She was subject to fits, and denied throwing
herself down in the hall.
Mr. HARDWICK, after remonstrating upon the impropriety
of her conduct, and in consideration of her being locked up
all night, discharged her.

MONEY MARKET.
After the hours of business yesterday afternoon,

And

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very heavy,
and all kinds were %d. per lb. lower. Sales, 2,000 bales.
American, 614 d. to 7%d. and Egyptian, 94d. per lb.—ln
Railway Shares there was very little doing.
There are no later arrivals to-day.
The corn-averages to-day, show a great falling off in the
sales.
The system of leasing land with ultimate power of pur-
_ chase has always appeared to us to be so very advantageous
to the thrifty settler, of limited means, in our agricultural
colonies more especially, that we are gratified to notice
in the last accounts from British North America, that
the Canada Company have resumed the system of
disposing of their lands in the Huron district on
lease. "Its suspension," says a local writer, "in
the tide of prosperity, after doubling the population of
the district in three-years, and the recurrence to the old sys-
tem of cash instalments and payment of the balance within
five years, produced a complete stagnation in the settlement.
" The most numerous class of settlers possess but little
cash means, which are indispensable to them upon begin-
ning the clearing of a lot of wild land, and most
of those who buy on a credit of five years
cannot meet their obligations. The Company have accord-
ingly again. decided on disposing of their land by lease—the
plan having already proved so successful. This system cf
leasing was devised and first applied by the Canada Company
three or four years ago to the settlement of wild lands, and it
has more than realised the most sanguine anticipations of
its advocates. Lots in the city of Toronto are
now generally disposed of on the same plan. The
lessee can confidently expend his capital and labour
upon the land without fearing molestation for ten years
(paying annually only the rent), which affords him ample
time to take the deed with the products of his crops; and
he has also the privilege during the term of depositing his
savings with the company at the highest legal interest, and
which he can withdraw at any time to suit his convenience."
" We are glad to see the leasing system continued, it pro-
motes the prosperity of the country, and of the individuals
who settle on the company's lands; and the company cer-
tainly deserve great credit for the great attention they have
so judiciously given to the interests of the province. The
heavy stake the company have in Canada, the honourable
manner in which they discharged all their obligations, and
the fairness and liberality of their dealings, are good gua-
rantees to settlers that they have honest men to deal with in
the persons entrusted with the management of the company's
lands."
The Stock Market has been again better this morning, and
preserves the more buoyant tone exhibited yesterday after-
noon, a further advance of % per cent. having been obtained
in some cases. The fact of no further advance having been
made to-day in the rate of discount at the Bank of England
induces many of the Bears to make preparations for ar-
ranging their accounts. Consols have been 91 to 9114 ; New
Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. 92% to 931/8 ; and the Three
per Cents., 91% to 9114 Bank Stock is worth 2031 h.
Exchequer-bills have been firmer, at ss. premium, except
those which are advertised, and they realise but Is. prem.
The Foreign bonds are merely nominal. Portuguese Four
per Cents. 35; and Brazilian, old, 8534 ; Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. 5814.
Shares are rather higher to-day, with a moderate business
doing.
