Catherine 3lounseer, an old woman, was convicted

Joseph Davis, a master-builder, and George
labourer in his employ, were charged with stealing
one thousand bricks, the property of the Black wall
Extension Railway ompany.
It appeared that the prisoner DrAvis was engaged
in building some cottages at Bromley, and from in-
formation received, Burt, a person employed by Mr.
Brassy, the contractor to the railway, went to
Davis's premises in Devon's-lane, Bromley, where he
found the bricks in question, which he identified by
the mark of a crown on them. They were sent up
from Kent, and only unloaded on :Monday last. The
prisoner Hill was employed to uncart them, and
instead of delivering them at the company's premises,
he delivered them to the other pisoner.
There was no actual proof that Davis had know-
ingly received them.
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for Davis, contended
that the evidence did not affect his client at all. The
bricks in question were manufactured by Messrs.
Heard and Rutter, and were very extensively used.
Mr. YARDLEY said there was sufficient evidence to
warrant him in committing Hill for trial ; and
although there was no proof of a guilty receipt on the
part of Davis, there was su.fficient testimony to call
for further inquiry, and he should, therefore, remand
the case for a week, but would take bail for Davis's
appearance, himself in 501, and two sureties in the
sum of 251. each.—The requisite bail was put in.

A Correspondent writes to say that the change o
countenances throughout the City yesterday afternoon
indicated a reinstatement of confidence being com-
pletely restored—and that foreign bankers bought
and sold bills of exchange more readily than they
have done for months back. Our informant adds,
that he had this verified by themselves.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH L:rc.—Yesterday, at St.
George's, Hanover- square, lay the Rev. 11. Howarth, the
Rev. Charles William Cavendish, third son of Major-
General the Hon. Henry Cavendish, to Miss Lygon,
eldest daughter of Lieutenant-General the Hon. Henry
Beauchamp Lygon. Immediately after the ceremony
the happy couple left town for West-end Lodge, the seat
of Major-General the Hon. Henry Cavendish.
Lord arid Lady John Russell and family are ex
petted to remain at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park,
until January, when they return to Chesham-place for
the season. Her Ladyship's health, we are happy to
state, is quite 'restored. Lord Ribblesdale, step-son of
the Noble Premier, has left town to pursue his acade-
mical studies at Oxford University.
The General Steam Navigation Company's ship,
which arrived yesterday from Hamburgh, in addition to
upwards of one hundred head of cattle, brought 100,0001.
in gold ; and it is expected that the vessel which will
arrive on Friday will bring as large an amount in gold.
Letters from Frankfort of the 22d state that money
is abundant there, and the transactions on the exchange
have been numerous and animated.
BIRKENHEAD AFFAIRS.—The announcement we
made on Friday has been confirmed, and " something
more." It is now understood that the docks are to be
finished by Mr. Rendell, and according to his plans in
their entirety, and it is rumoured that the Chairman of
the new Board of Commissioners, who is to be nominated
on the part of the Crown, will be Mr. Jackson, M.P.
This is deemed highly probable in the best informed
quarters.—Liverpool Mercury.
POST-OFFICE REGULATIONS.—The Gazette of last
night contains a Treasury warrant, dated the 22d of
October, directing that for the future no letter shall be
forwarded by post exceeding in length, breadth, width,
or depth, the dimensions of two feet or twenty-four
inches; also directing that the postage shall be pre-paid
on all letters exceeding four Ounces in weight. These
regulations are not to apply to petitions or addresses to
her Majesty, or petitions to either House of Parliament,
or to printed votes or proceedings of either House of
Parliament, or to letters to or from any of the Govern-
ment offices or departments.
ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, SOUTHWARK.—PubIic
attention has lately been somewhat directed to the
sanitary condition of this parish, more especially in
reference to Three Tuns-court, White-street. At
present, however, only the general statement has been
made, that much necessity exists there for sanitary im-
provement, and even this has been questioned by the
parish authorities. The following statements may be
relied on. They come from one woo has carefully and
minutely inspect(-d the court referred to, for the purpose
of ascertaining the real facts of the case. Threo Tuns-
court consists of eleven houses, but some of them are
wholly, and others partially uninhabited, on aceount of
their dreadfully dilapidated condition. Each house
contains three rooms of about eight feet square,
with no back-entrance to any. There is no water
in the court, and but one privy, which is in a
horribly filthy condition, the soil from it running over
and saturating the pavement around, whilst, from
its broken, dilapidated state, together with the ruinous
condition of all the houses, a dreadful stench pervades
the atmosphere of the whole court. There is no inha-
bited house which does not contain somebody infected,
more or less, with fever. There are now about 100 per-
sons, including children, living in the court. In one
of the rooms there are nine adults living. In one of
the houses the ground floor is entirely gone. In one of
these houses, in the lower room, four adults and two or
three children live, having no bed, but all sleeping on
some straw laid on the earth. One of those in this room
is a woman, who was confined two or three days since ;
she lies like the others on the straw, and her child ap-
pears completely naked. This room contains no furni-
ture ; a large stone is used for a seat. There are only
three bedsteads, and scarcely any other furniture except
a few broken chairs, in the whole court. Three deaths
have lately occurred from fever. Other places in this
neighbourhood are very little better than Three Tuns-
court; indeed, many are more thickly peopled.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE.—The picking
is now entirely finished—the result can only be known
exactly by the publication of the duty. A portion of
the account has already been made up and published,
from which we are enabled to deduce that the Worces-
ter duty is 2,633/ 13s. 6}d.--old duty about 1,442/.—
which will give an average of about 1 qr. 1 llbs. per
acre—rather less than was expected. The Hants duty
is 4,6721. 4s. 11d.; Ilerts, 306/. 19s. 61—Maidstone
Journal.
We have to record the demise of Major-General
Stanton St. Clair, who died on the 23d instant, at his re-
sidence, 55, Gloucester-street, Hyde-park, in the sixty-
first year of his age. The Gallant Officer, who received
the rank of Major General on the occasion of the late
brevet, entered the army as ensign in 1803, and was
actively employed up to the termination of the late war.
The Imperial Academy of Sciences of St. Peters-
burg has offered a prize of 3,000 roubles for the best
" History of the Cholera."
LORD J. RUSSELL'S EXPECTED VISIT TO GLAS.•
cow. —We are informed that a letter has been received
from Lord John Russell, intimating that, in the present
state of public affairs, it will be impossible for him to
leave the neighbourhood of London this week, and that
he will write again to say whether he shall be able to
visit Glasgow before the 13th of November.—Glasgow
Saturday Post.
Some time ago the Government desired the French
consuls and agents in the Russian empire to forward all
the information which they might bouble to procure on
cholera, its intensity, and progress. It results, it is
said, from the reports which have reached the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, that the pestilence is this year in
Russia of a less terrible nature than on its previous visite-
tions.—Galignani.
PROGRESS OF THE DENATIONALIZATION OF Po-
LAND BY AUSTRIA.—By an Imperial ordonnance re-
cently issued, the use of the Polish language is sup-

versity, who were Poles, have been dismissed and re-
placed by Germans.
