export. With Barley we were again scantily supplied.
The best 'Malting qualities were in moderate re-
quest, at full prices, but grinding and dis-
tilling sorts were somewhat neglected. Notwith-
standing the quantity of Malt brought forward
was again small, the Malt trade was in a very inactive
state ; nevertheless, last week's currencies were pretty
generally supported. There were fewer Oats on offer
than for some time past. Selected parcels were in mo-
derate request, at very full prices, but the damp and
otherwise out of condition parcels of foreign commanded
very little attention. The supply of Beans being on the
increase, the demand for that grain was in a sluggish
state at previous quotations. The show of all kinds of
Peas was very trifling, and the sales wera conducted at
full rates of currency. Indian Cora and Meal were
very dull, and the turn lower. '1 he Flour trade was
heavy ; town-made parcels receded to 45s per 2801bs,
and American qualities were is to 2s per barrel lower.

• Pigs, 10. t Ditto, 20.
At the various outports the arrivals have consisted of
about 3,700 head, chiefly from Rotterdam and Ham-
burgh. We have to call the particular attention of our
readers to the fact, that a most contageous disease has
been lately introduced into this country by the Merino
sheep, imported from Germany. The disease has, we
find, been communicated to large numbers of English
sheep, and which has resulted in very serious losses to
the graziers. As a proof of which we may state that,
to-day, some hundreds of sheep (which were turned out
unsold on Monday and Friday last, and which had, it
appears, been placed in pens previously occupied by
some of the foreign breeds), were exhibited in a fright-
fully diseased state, and were with difficulty disposed
of at from 4s to 8s per head, though worth ten days
since quite 40s each. The imports of foreign stock at
Hull and elsewhere have been again liberal, via., about
800 Beasts, 2,200 Sheep and Lambs, 95 Calves, and
129 Pigs ; but the quality and condition have turned
out very indifferent. To-day we had on sale nearly
1,000 Beasts, 4,000 Sheep and Lambs, 120 Calves, and
40 Pigs, with which the trade was in a very inactive
state, at barely the late depression in the quotations.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts
fresh up this morning were extensive, nearly 1,000 head
more than at the corresponding market day in 1846.
As the general quality of this description of stock was
very inferior, the demand for the best Scots, &c., was
steady, and, in some instances, the currencies paid on
Monday last were obtained by the salesmen, the best
Beef realising 4s 6d per 81bs, without difficulty ; other-
wise the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, and the
prices ruled quite 2d per 81bs. At the close of business
a clearance was not effected. The droves and railway
arrivals from our northern counties comprised about
1,800 short horns ; from the eastern, western, and mid-
land districts, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots,
Irish Beasts, and short horns; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland,
220 horned and polled Scots ; the remainder of the
Bullock supply being derived from abroad and the
neighbourhood of the metropolis. The numbers of
Sheep were considerably on the increase.; yet, as the
weather was somewhat favourable to slaughtering, the
Mutton trade was firm, particularly for the best old
Downs, the supply of which was small, at the prices
quoted on this day se'nnight. The best old Downs sold
at 5s 4d per Sibs. The inquiry for Lambs was heavy,
and this is the last occasion this year, as the season is
now concluded, that we shall make any distinction
between their prices and those of Sheep. Calves.
though in full average supply, moved off steadily, at
late rates. Prime small Porkers commanded lull prices.
In other qualities of Pork comparatively little business
was transacted.

From all distant parts, the arrivals of slaughtered
meat for our markets during the past week have been
on a very limited scale; but the supplies on offer killed
in the metropolis have been extensive, though of very
inferior quality. With the exception of the primest
Beef and Pork—the quantity of which on sale has been
unusually small, commanding a steady sale at full
prices—the general demand has ruled heavy, at a de-
cline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Nearly 4,000
carcases of Foreign meat have been brought forward,
and sold at comparatively low figures.

Notwithstanding the supplies of Potatoes are some-
what extensive, a very large business has been again
transacted, and in some instances the best qualities have
produced 5s to 103 per ton more money. Prices now
rule from 318 s to 51 10s. per ton.

THE SUN, LONDON, _ MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, t 847.

Eastern Counties Railway Company, knew the pri-
soner, and had had opportunities of seeing his hand-
writing. He believed the note, the cheque, and the
endorsement on the back of the fifty pound-note, to
be in the prisoner's handwriting. •
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The prisoner
and witness were in the same office, in the Eastern
Counties Company's service, for upwards of: two
months—the inward department. Witness had no-
thing to do with the prisoner being turned away from
the service of the company. Reported him when he
absented himself for three days. Had broken open
the prisoner's desk, by order of Mr. Moseley, the
manager. Had heard something about a prosecution
for it.

Re-examined by Mr. RyLAND—Had no ill will to-
wards the prisoner, and did not break open his desk until
he had twice sent to his house for the key, and he had
refused to send it. Witness had a salary of 851. a
year, he believed the prisoner had 651.
Edward Harrison, a clerk in the luggage department
of the Eastern Counties Railway, saw the prisoner in
August last, after he had left the service of the
Eastern Counties Company. They went and had a
glass of ale together, and after talking some time
with him about the company, he pulled some money,
from 101. to 201., out of his pocket, together with
some jewellery, observing that that was better than
being in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway
Company.
Michael Hadden, a City constable, 274, took the
prisoner into custody at his lodgings, Hoxton New
Town.

Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the pri-
soner, and called
Mr. George Griffiths, the father of the prisoner,
who had formerly been a jeweller, but had since re-
tired from business, and was now living upon his
property. He did not believe that the letter, the
cheque, or the endorsement on the 501. note was in
his son's handwriting.
Cross-examined by Mr. RYLAND—The prisoner
had had nothing to do since he left the Eastern
Counties Railway. Witness kept him, although he
did not lodge in his house. The house witness lived
in at Pentonville was his own, and several others in
the neighbourhood.
Ebenezer Griffiths, the brother of the prisoner,
believed that neither of the documents produced was
in his brother's handwriting.
Edward Stevens, had been in the employ of the
Eastern Counties Railway Company. Was there
during the whole time prisoner was, and had plenty
of opportunities of seeing him write. He believed
that the documents produced were not in the prisoner's
hand writing.
Cross-examined by Mr. RYLAND—Believed that
the prisoner told him, on their going:on an excursion to
Gravesend, that he had spent 1001. lately. On wit-
ness asking him how he got it, the prisoner said that
he had been left some money by his grandfather or
grandmother. Witness did not know which.
Re-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—Witness had
been living with his mother ever since he left the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, and was in
expectation of getting a situation in the Customs.
Mr. RYLAND having replied on the evidence pro-
duced on behalf of the prisoner,
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up.
The jury acquitted the prisoner.

THE LATE ROBBERY at ROGERS

AND CO.'S., THE BANKERS.

EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY OF THE
NOTES.

On Saturday, considerable excitement prevailed
throughout the City, in consequence of a rumour
which was generally circulated that the whole of the
notes which had been stolen from the Messrs. Rogers,
Towgood, and ad by the latter firm been paid
into the Bank of Co.,England, the amount being upwards
of 40,0001.

The robbery alluded to, it will be recollected, took
place in November, 1844, and cash to the amount of
nearly 2,6001. was stolen, in addition to the notes, the
numbers of some of the latter not being known.
The particulars, as described in the vast number of
handbills which have been from time to time cir-
culated, offering a reward of 3,0001. must be fresh in
the recollection of the public. Since the period of the
robbery, Isaacs, and several others of the City detec-
tive force, have been actively engaged in endeavour-
ing to trace the property and the perpetrators of the
robbery, but without effect, for although some of
the suspected parties, or (it may be said) the known
participators have been long under surveillance, and
have been most closely watched, yet nothing oc-
curred to warrant their apprehension. It was, how-
ever, expected, on one occasion, that the officers had
ascertained where the booty was concealed, when
Isaacs and his colleagues discovered, at the house of
a party in the Lower-road, Islington, no less than
600 sovereigns hidden under a bed. The notes, how-
ever, were not to be found, and the gold, of course,
could not be identified.

The guilty parties, it would seem, have been wait-
ing all this time, expecting that a larger reward
would be offered, one of the parties actually telling
one of the officers that he knew they were in it, and
they could wait for three years, or until they could
get 5,000/. Ultimately, all the notes of which the
numbers were known were returned, the thieves
keeping the other notes, and all the cash. How the
whole has been delivered up has not transpired, but
to inquiries at the banking house in Clement's lane,
the answer was, that the notes had been returned, and
paid into the Bank of England. A great deal of mys-
tery still envelopes the transaction.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Saturday
information was given to Mr. Cartar, the coroner for
Surrey, of the following dangerous accident which had
happened on the river, and terminated fatally:—lt seemed
that two men, named Holmes and King, were rowing in
the lower part of the river, when the scull of one broke,
and King received a severe blow on the chest, either from
the arm of the scull or from Holmes falling back on him,
which it was could not be ascertained. King was taken
home, when peritonitis came on, and caused his death,
the surgeon having no doubt the blow was the primary
cause of it, thus showing by what simple means are the
vital functions destroyed.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 24.—The trans-
actions of the week have been small, but this arises
chiefly from the limited supply at market, as the demand
continues good. Rum has become very dull, and prices
have a down ward tendency.—Bristol Mercury.
CHRISTCHURCH.—COMMITTAL Or A BANK MA-
NAGER ON A CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—There has
been much excitement in this place for some days past,
in consequence of various rumours affecting the cha-
racter of the manager of the branch of the Wilts and
Dorset Banking Company in this town. All doubts as
to the truth of these rumours have now been dissipated
by the full committal of Mr. Edward Owen Bishop, the
gentleman in question, to take his trial at the next
quarter sessions on a charge of embezzlement. Private
examinations took place before the magistrates on Mon-
day and Wednesday last, when, it is understood, several
clear cases were proved against him by the officers and
customers of the bank. Bail to a heavy amount was
demanded, in default of which he was on Thursday
morning conveyed to Winchester. The investigations
were said to have been long and painful ones, and the
magistrates, after a lengthened and patient hearing, de-
cidided on fully committing him on all the charges.—
Hants Independent. _

The whole of the cargo of Wheat (700 quarters
ex " Johanne," Hanschild, master, from Galatz), offered
by public auction by Mr. H. Roper, at Cowes, on the
23d instant, was bought in, the highest price offered
for any of the lots being 41s. per quarter.
DEATH OF MADAME ALBERTAZZL—This favourite
and kind-hearted vocalist died on Saturday morning, at
her residence in St. John's Wood, aged 33. Her health,
which had been declining for a long time, ended in a
rapid consumption. Albertazzi made a most successful
debut at her Majesty's Theatre, in Cenerentola, April
19th. 1837. After that she sung at the Ancient and
Philharmonic Concerts, and, in 1840, she appeared at
Drury-lane, in the opera of La Gazra Ladra, and was
eminently successful. She was also engaged at the
Princess's Theatre, but her voice was then failing fast.
Her maiden name was Howson, and her father was a
music-master. She was married to Albertazzi when not
sixteen years of age.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH, LEITH,
AND QRANTON RAILWAY.—A melancholy and fatal
occurrence took place on the Edinburgh, Leith, and
•Granton Railway, on Friday, about noon, within a hun-
dred yards of Leith Docks. A servant of the company,
of the name of Peter Marr, in charge 'of the goods
train. anxious to ascertain if the switches were in their
proper places, rushed fOrward for that purpose, but, un-
happily, he was caught by the break of one of the
trucks, and whirled round like a cylinder, and in five or
ten minutes ceased to breathe. The deceased was about
thirty years of age, and has left a widow and two infants
to lament his loss. The event has cast a gloom over the
minds of the other labourers, by whom deceased was
greatly respected.

quest of the gentlemen forming the committee of ma-
nagement for building, by voluntary subscriptions, an

Portsea, and Gosport Hospital, has graciously consented

consented, at the same time, to receive an address from
the Mayor and members of the corporation.
THE " REPORTED MARRIAGE OF THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON WITH MISS BURDETT CouTTS."—We
think it right to state that the " correspondent" who
last week favoured the Observer with the statement
under the above head (and which, we see, is going the
round of the provincial press) is one of those inventive
gentlemen called " reporters for the public press." We
received a manifold copy of this " report," but declined
to use it. How the " preliminary arrangements of the
marriage" could come to the knowledge of such a cor-
respondent may perhaps form the subject of another
paragraph in the columns of our somewhat credulous
contemporary.—John Bull.
A General Thanksgiving for the late bountiful
harvest will be ordered by the Queen in Council, at
Osborne, on Tuesday next, when the form will be pro
claimed and the day fixed, after consultation with the
heads of the Church. So much has been urged as to
the propriety of selecting Sunday for the solemnity,
instead of appropriating a week day as formerly, that
her Majest) will comply with the wishes so expressed.
Either the 10th or the 17th of October will most likely
be the Sunday decided on.—Obsereer.
