MARYLEB ONE.

Joe Haling/lam, a lad of 11, was charged by Mr.
Joseph Tasher, a gentleman residing at No. 3, York-
buildings, New-road, with robbery upon several occa-
sions, but particularly on Saturday last, of the sum of
twenty-five shillings, or, us Mr. 'rasher expressed it,
five dollars. Mr. 'hasher stated that the money was
placed by him on Saturday in a bureau in his sitting-
room, and missing it on Sunday, and on several occasions
having experienced like losses, he called up the boy
Joseph Hallingliara, the son of his landlord, and
charged him with the theft. Joseph strenuously denied
the fact, but subsequently, on threats and promises
being held out to him, confessed, first to his mother and
then to witness, that he had stolen the money. Two
five-shilling pieces and some halfpence were found under
the mat at the foot of the stars, which, as the boy
stated, he placed there before he went up to speak to
witness. The father and mother of the boy could do
nothing with him, and it was their wish that he should
be punished.
Mr. HARDWICK (to boy)—Ilow old are you ?
Eleven, Sir.

What did you take the money for ?—To spend it,
Sir.

On whom ?—On myself, Sir.
Have you no companions?—None, Sir.
What did you spend it in ?—On a cab, Sir.
On a cab ! what, all ?—I drove round Regent's-park,
Sir, on Friday, and that was five shillings.
And what did you do with the rest ?—I drove to
Kensington, and that was two-and sixpence.
But did you spend none afterwards—there is more to
account for ?—Yes, Sir, on Sunday.
On what ?-0n a cab, Sir.—(Laughter.)
Where was that ?-1 drove along Oxford-street, and
that was three shillings, and a shilling on fruit.
In answer to further questions, he declared that he
had no associates—that he had stolen money from Mr.
rasher on four previous occasions, and had generally
spent it in the same manner. He went to school, and
knew that it was wicked to steal.

Mr. HARDWICK—WeII, if you go on in this way,
you will be hanged. You must be sent to prison, put
in a dungeon, fed on bread and water, and whipped;
and if you will not give these courses over, you will un-
doubtedly be hanged. Take him away. You must be
whipped and locked up in a dungeon.
The boy left the bar perfectly unmoved, a deport-
ment he retained during the whole of the period he
stood before it.

HATTON-GA RDEN.
James Dujer, alias Jemmy Mc buffer, I;as charged
with stealing 31. 6i., the money of an old man, 74
years of age, named Allen.

The prosecutor stated that on Friday he came from

Buckinghamshire to receive his quarterly pension, and
as he was leaving Somerset-house he met with the pri-
soner, who asked him for some relief. He gave him
35., and invited him to partake of some soup, and other
refreshment, and in the evening requested him to be
kind enough to lead him to some place where he could
stay for the night, and where his person and property
would be safe. The accused led him to a house, which
he supposed to be of a respectable description, and
after giving him a further sum of es., and treating the
inmates of the house, he retired to rest. On his awaking
in the morning he found that he was pennyless, and had
nothing,but his shirt left to cover him, and in this con-
dition he must have remained had he not been able to
make some one hear from his bed-room window, which
occasioned Restieux, a policeman of the E division, to
go to his aid. That officer having obtained him some
apparel, led him in search of the prisoner, whom, in the
course of three hours, they found in a public house in
St. Giles's.

The MAGISTRATE complimented Restieux, and com-
mitted the prisoner to Newgatc for trial.
Nearly all the prosecutor's prop ,rty was recovered.

PARIS. POLICE

MY AUNT'S LAST TOOTH.—M. Michard and his
wile, a fine portly dame, of rather beyond a certain age,
appeared a day or two since at the bar of the Correc-
tional Police, accompanied by a hopeful nephew of theirs,
against whom they had to make a charge of the most
serious nature, he, the said nephew, having, in defiance
of all the laws of nepotic affection, inflicted on his vene-
rable aunt a Vow by which the last of her masticators
was removed from the situation it had occupied for so
many years. The following colloquy took place among
the dramatis person¢ of the affair.
President—What offence have you to complain of ?
M. Michard—Simplice is my nephew, that I must
allow, but the crime of which he has been guilty has
broken every tie of blood that was between us. Simplice,
you are no longer my nephew.
Simplice—That is folly. Will you deny that lam
still the son of your brother?

M. Michard—Physieally, it cannot be otherwise ;
but morally I discard you.
Simplice—Oh, uncle, what a blockhead you are 1
Instead of heaping blessings upon me for what I have
done, you have brought me before the Triburial of Cor.
rectional Police, as if I were a Turk.

M. Michard—You have conducted yourself towards
your aunt like a savage.

Siruplice—And you—you are a henpecked husband,
to say nothing more.

Madame Michard here tried to be byitericah bed
recourse to her smelling•bottle, and exclaimed, " Oh,
Heavens!"

M. Michard (supporting her)—Oh, Emeline ! my
love !—(To Simplice)—W retch ! you wish to be her
death—you wish to be guilty of aunt-icide.
Simplice—ln that case you allow that 1 am still your
nephew.

M. Michard—Hold your tongue, scapegrace, and let
me state what I have to charge you with.
Simplice— With all my heart ; but you had better
not, for you will expose yourselves the mast by it.
M. Michard—Heartless wretch! (Bowing to the
Judges) Gentlemen I have in the provinces a brother,
who has had the misfortune to give birth to this serpent
here. Six months ago he was sent to me on a visit, and
to sce whtu 1 could make of him. I have treated him
with every kindness as it he were my own son.
Sitnplice—That is true ; and that is why I am so
much attached to you.

M. Micherd—But would you believe it, gentlemen,
one day last week, when we had a large company to
dinner, he gave his aunt a slap in the face !
Simplice—l know I did, and knocked out her last
tooth. I tell you what, uncle—you are deceived by
her. But it is in vain for you to persecute me, for I
shall never cease to love you all the same.
Madame Michard (with a faint voice)—Mercilul
a,. et, !

Snnplice—Your wife is a good-for-nothing prude,
uncle, and deceives you along with M. Leroche, that
old dandy, whose smell of musk makes his approach
known when he's more than a mile off.

M. Michard—Hold your tongue, you calumniating
scoundrel.

Simplice—Ah! that's the way you take it, is it? I
was behind a curtain, and heard them talking like real
friends—not to say lovers. I, who love you, seeing
that, could ❑ut restrain my indiolation, and so I gave
aunt a slap in the mouth. If you are offended, I can
give you satis.faction. •
Harr Madame Michard raised a languishing pair cf
eyes towards her husband, and faintly said, " Ah !
Michat d."

M. Miehard—Never mind, Emeline. I don't believe
a word of all these horrors. 1 know you to be Virtue
personified.
Smp!ice—.A.b, you are the best of husbands.
Simplice was sentenced to a week's imprisonment. .

111 A CRITIC s.-1111.¢ has been an increased desire evinced
on the part of the trait: to purchase, and by private con-
tract several parcels have been disposed of at rather higher
rates; eolotny sorts are still the most in request. This
afternoon trade were less disposed to do business, and at a
public sale of 2,505 bags prices gave way 61 to 14 par
cwt ; the whole was however sold, fine strong yellow a,
81s to Bls 6d, good middling and good 77s 6,1 to 80s, low

is held firmly.
TEA.—The accounts received horn China, slating that
the Chinese Government were inclined to come to terms
with the Eriglish, and have agreed to pay 2,000,000/ for
the loss of the Opium, and 1,000,000/. for the expenses
incurred by the war, have produced extreme heaviness in
the market, and prices declined considerably for Com-
pany's Congou; on Tuesday they closed at 2s lid lo
2; lid cash ; en Wednesday fell to is 65 to is bid ; yes-
terday morning they rallied to 1 s 81d, but declined to
Is 74d at the close of the dry with a very heavy market.
Free Trade has been scarcely asked for, and prices must
now be regarded as nominal, a few small parcels of com-
mon Congou for cash, however, have been disposed of at
Is 7d to is 7id per lb, but in the present state of affairs,
buyers as well as sellers do not know how to act, for even
at those rates it would be impossible to dispase of a large
quantity; the reduction in prices since this day week
amounts to 6id to 7d per lb. Na ,uhlic sde is yet de-
clared. 'l'o-day the market fa- Free trade was in a very
dull state, and prices have still a downward tendency, but
so limited were the transactions that it is difficult to give

quotations with accuracy ; the nearest; however, for cot►,'
mon Congou cash were is 61d to is 7d, and is 74c1 to Is 8d
ls 8d for blackish leaf, is 7A to Is 8d for common
key ; Bohea Canton, duty paid, air Bd, and even thereat
there ware not buyers of any quantity. The speculative
market closed heavily at is 7d for Company's Congou,
cash.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a
brisk demand for Jamaica Rum, particularly for good and
fine sorts, and prices have improved ld per gallon ; the

cent overproof at 6s to tis 2d, 33 to 34 over 6s 3d to 6s
sd, 33 to 38 over 6s 6d to 6s 9d, stronger and favourite
marks 7s to 7s 3d. In Leewards a fair business bat
been transacted at full former rates ; the sales amount
to 250 puns, proofs to 5 per cent. over at 2s 9d. 10
2s. I Id, 8 to 10 over 3s to 3s Id, 12 to 15 over 3s 2d to 3s
3d, 16 to 20 over 3s 4d to 3s sd. Of Demerara 120 puns
have been sold, 30 to 34 pc r cent over proof, at 5s 4d to 5., 6d
36 to 39 over 5s 7d to 5s 9d. Prices are firmer for East
India, and 200 hhds Calcutta have been sold at 2s 2d
proof strength, and a small parcel 26 over proof at 2s. Bd.
The importations have been less than last year ; the stock,
however is larger. The importation from the East Lelia
was :468 puns and 856 hhds last year—the year before
only 99 puns and 312 hhds—in the year 1837 only 80
bbds. There are few buyers of Brandy either for home
use or et.iort, and prices have a downward tendency for
new descriptions; but old sorts are held firmly; we quote
Cognac, first brands of the vintage of 1836, 5s 2d in hbds
and 5s in puns; ditto 1837, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto
1838, hbds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; ditto 1839, hbds 4s Bd.
puns 4s 6d ; ditto 1840, hhds 3s 9d, puns 3s 7d. Geneva
has sold slowly far export at Is lld to ; !or some small
parcels for home use 2s 4d to 2s 6 1 have been paid for
fine quality. British Corn Spirits have been in better
request at I.os cash.

On-S.—There has been only a limited demand' for
common descriptions of Fish Oils this week, and in
some cases rather lower rates have been submitted to for
pale Seal and Cod, the former selling at 331 10a, the
latter 271 lOs ; Southern at 271 to 301 for middling 'and
fine quality. For Sperm prices do not give way. Lin-
seed Oil on the spot at 27s 9d to 28a. Rape at 46510 r
Pale and 45s for Brown. Olive Oil 601 for Spanish, and
65/ to 661 for Gallipoli. East India Cocoa Nut on
the decline.

Seices.—This afternoon 50 chests Cassia Lignea at
public sale fetched 80s for very coarse quality false
packed. The Cinnamon sales are fixed for the 25th;
only 250 bales are at present declared.
FRUIT has been in fair request since the holidays, and
a considerable portion of business done in some kinds ;
of Turkey Figs the stock is large, and a great portion
being of inferior quality the importers have pressed sAlcs
