Ciths.—The unfavourable accounts received from the
Davis Straits Fishery this week, the production not
being expected to exceed 200 tuns of Oil, have pro-

the applicants. Many of these persons no sooner had
their letters than they hastened to dispose of them io
the market, and the consequence was that the d:fference
between the price of the loan and the Three per Cents.
was not what it ought to have been. This, however,
did not prevent the favoured parties from realising hand-
some profits. Suppose, for instance, that a lady in favour
at Court should have sold her promise of 15,000 rentes
of the loan, she would have realised a profit of 10,0001.
These are pins worth the trouble of picking up."
The minimum price of the new loan is asserted by the
Temps to hate been fixed by the Minister at 77f.
The National says it was 781. 50c. This Journal
adds the name of M. Aguado t th;a of the house of
Hottinguer among the contractors for the loan.

Hodgson exceedod his 1;c. n 34) he was liable to heavy
penalties for so doing.
After some discussion, the Bench granted tie anl.-
cation.

Mr. Chambers subsequently PDp!ied for a license fir
the late swimming-baths in the TiVeatminster-road, to be
used as a plus tar equestrian perform nc ,s, situi;ar to
Astley'F, in the name of Mr. George Batty ; but, as it
appeared that proper notice of the arplization, in ac-
cordance with the rules of the Session, had ;tot been
given, the application was almnioned.

POLICE INTELLia,ENCE.
BO TV-STREET

Mr. Charles Franklin,landlord of the Feathers in
Great 'Wild-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, appeared yester--
day before Mr. Jardine, to answer the complaint of the
police for having, on the 13th instant, unlawfully and:
knowingly permitted-and suffered persons of notoriously
bad character to assemble and meet together in his house.
Mr. Wire, Solicitor to • the Protection Society, ap-
peared for the defendant.
Constable liagnell, 31 F division, stated that he went
to the defendant's house about six o'clock on the evening
of the day in question for the purposa of executing a
warrant upon a man named Perryman for having com-
mitted an assault on a policeman, and on entering the
hack parlour, he saw him in company with twenty
others, among whom were three convicted thieves,
and four persons who were in the habit of associating
with thieves. The other persons in the room appeared to
be hardworking people, and having taken the man into
custody, he was conveyed to the station-house with the as-
sistance of constable Thompson, who held him by the arm.
Cross-examined—He could tell the names of the con-
victed thieves who were standing before the bar, but he
never saw them before in the house, although he was in
the habit of going into it for the last nine weeks, and
there was no noise or obstruction offered to him in the
execution of his duty.
Joseph Thompsom, 39 F, swore that there were se-
veral persons in the room, but he did not know who they
were, his attention being drawn to the man he had the
warrant against. The man had been a great many times
in custody for assaults and smashing.
Mr. JARDINE said he would save Mr. Wire the
trouble of entering more fully into the matter. There
was no doubt .that persons of had character were in the
defendant's house on the day in question, but that was
not enough, for it should be proved that the landlord
was cognizant of the fact to warrant him in ordering a
conviction, and under such circumstances he was entitled
to have the summons dismissed. It would be far dif-
ferent if the persons in the house were prostitutes, as
they could easily be distinguished in a variety of ways
from other females, but it would be going too far to
come to the conclusion that the landlord ought to know
thieves as well as the police.

SERIOUS Loss.—A man named Denham at-
tended at Union Hall yesterday, for the purpose of
giving information of his having lost the sum of 160/. in
Bank notes a few days ago in the neighbourhood of the
Court. It appeared that the applicant, on going along
the Southwark-bridge-road, dropped a roll of notes,
amounting to the above sum, and which he had received
a short time previously for the sale of a business in
which he was engaged nein. the Town-hall. In the
course of a short time after the notes were dropped they
were picked up by a lad of weak intellect in the service
of Mr. Frani:tun, the hatter, of the Southwark-
bridge-road. The boy, on finding the money, and not
knowing the value of the notes, took them to his master's
warehouse and exhibited them to the men at work, saying
how he had found them. One of the workmen, on see-
ing the notes entreated the finder to "whack" them, and
the hint was no sooner thrown out than the boy began to
distribute the money, giving a 20/. note to one, a 10/. to
another, and so on, until he only left himself with one
101. note out of the whole sum. The persons to whom
the money was thus divided desired the boy not to
" split" on any account, but the circumstance having got
wind, and Mr. Frankum being made acquainted with the
facts, gave information at the station-house in South-
wark-bridge-road. Upon Sergeant Havel], of the M
division, being apprised of what had had occurred, he
succeeded in recovering upwards of 60/. in notes, from
the workmen to whom the money had been given as
above described. There are, however, still two 50/.
notes missing out of the number, which hive not, as yet
been traced to the workmen, but it has since been as-
certained that the boy who found them had exhibited
the roll of notes to some coal-heavers at Bankside, in
whose possession hopes are entertained that they will be
found..

The case was then dismissed.
LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday William Wade, the owner and driver of a
Stratford omnibus, No. 2,073, appeared before Mr. Nor-
ton to answer to a charge of being abusive and using im-
proper language to a respectable female.
Mrs. Wade, the wife of a gun-maker residing in Cham-
ber-street, Whitechapel, stated that on Monday week
she took a place in the defendant's omnibus in White-
chapel, the conductor assuring her she should be taken
to the house of her friend in Upton-place, about half a
mile beyond Stratford. On arriving at the Swan Inn at
Stratford. haven, the conductor told her they were going
no further that way, and that, therefore, she must come
out. She refused to do so until she was taken to the
house of her friend, and reminded the conductor of his
promise to take her there. He (the conductor) said he
had nothing to do with that, and repeated she must get
out. She again refused, upon which the defendant got
from his box and insisted upon her getting out, as he
was going no farther ; and on her remonstrating with
him, and tellinr, him the promise made by the conductor,
he said he had nothing to do with it, and commenced
jeering her, and again insisted on her getting out. She
told him she was very lame, and having a large paled
to take, it would be the greatest possible inconvenience for
her to walk the journey to her friend's house, and hoped
he would therefore take her as far as the R-und-house,
which would be half-way on her journey. This he re-
fused to do, and after first driving one way and then the
other, and jeering her all the time, he with an oath, said
he would bring her back to town, and she would have a
double fare to pay. Finding that he was driving to-
wards London, she put out her right hand; which had
been partially paralysed for some months, for the pur-
pose of opening the door and getting out, upon which
the defendant gave her a sharp kick with his foot, and
gave her considerable pain. She then requested to be
let out of the vehicle, but the defendant refused to do
so, unless she paid him tenpence for her fare, and kept
her a prisoner in the vehicle for several minutes, until
she paid him the money.
In defence he said his license did not justify him in
going to Upton-place, and therefore if he did so he
would be liable to heavy penalties.
Mr. NORTON told him that if even this was the case,
he, on finding that his servant had misled the com-
plainant, should not have charged her anything. His
conduct was highly improper, and he convicted him in
the penalty of 40s. and costs.
George Cooh and John Thylor, the former a confiden-
tial servant in the employment of Mr. White, a corn-
chandler in Red Lion-street, and the latter a horse-
keeper to Mr. Levy, a Stratford stage-coach proprietor,
were brought up for final o.amioation.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared that both the
prisoners had carried on a most extensive, and to their
employers a ruinous system of plunder, and had conveyed
large quantities of corn from the premises of their mas-
ters, which adjoin each other.—They were fully commit-
ted to take their trial at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTE RSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
THE CAMBRIDGESHIZE STAKES.—The Melody colt
engrossed nearly all the betting: 5 to 2 was taken with
avidity in the early part of the afternoon, and 2 to 1 as
freely, before its close, the average laying price at the
close being only 10 to G. Iliona disappeared from the
betting, and although two or three others were backed,
the investments were so small as scarcely to warrant a
quotation. For the Derby the only movement was in
the Perdita colt (Ballinkcele), which has been winning
in Ireland, and cannot be quoted a fraction above 35 to 1.
A dull afternoon terminated as follows:--

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT FROM .CIR
terday morning a poor woman named Foley, living in
No. 3, New-street, New Cut, went out for some bread,
leasing- the infant asleep in bed ; she had previously
lio-htod a fire in the room with shavings, and on her re-
turn in a few minutes the room was full of smoke. She
ran to the rescue of the child, whose head and arms
were most frightfully burned, and tittle hopes are enter-
tained of its recovery. The poor mr.-,ther has since been
perfectly demented. Aledical assistance was promptly
afforded by the Messrs. Brady. of Biackfriar's-road, and
hopes are entertained that both mother and child will
ree,,ver under their care.
