CLERKENIVELL.7-(THIS DAY.)

Ann Kennedy was charged with stealing a silver spoon
and pepper caster at the Duke of Wellington Tavern,
Brighton-street, Brunswick square.
It appeared from the stat.,ment of the landlord, Mr.
Pottinger, that on Saturchy the prisoner entered his
house and he served him with something at the bar,
when he was informed by his barman that the prisoner
had taken the ahoya articles from off a shelf and hidden
them under her cloak. She was about leaving the house
when the prosecutor asked her what she had of Lis under
her shawl, when she denied having anything, but upon
being searched the articles were found concealed in her
bosom.

The prisoner, who stated that she was induced to com-
mit the robbery through want, was fully committed to
take her trial at the sessions.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was
dull. Sales 3,500 bales, of which 3,000 were American,
at 6-1 d. to 78d. per lb., and 400 Egyptian, at 82d. per lb.
Shares were in limited request ; the market was very
quiet.
There are no ship arrivals to day with late intelli-
gence from any quarter, but by the usual Hamburgh and
French mails we have favourable reports of the weather
and the crops. The corn market here is firmer this
morning, nevertheless. The heavy failures at Limerick,
in this particular branch of business, serve to increase
the apprehension of embarrassment in other quarters,
and to show at the same time the extent of the specula-
tion that has been carried on. To all appearance prices
must yet come down, unless the weather proves very
unfavourable.
The Americans seem to desire much to make a move-
ment for forwarding by an easier route the supplies of
grain received at Buffalo. Recent accounts state
Very few persons who do not look at the commercial
articles of the Buffalo papers, have the least idea of the
trade of that port. It is stated that there arrived in
Buffalo in twenty-four hours, i. e., on the 4th and sth
instant, 180,851 bushels of wheat, 31,000 barrels of flour,
and 41,052 bushels of corn. By far the major part of
this goes now by the Erie Canal, but would come
through our province were facilities afforded by rail-
ways across our peninsula, and a free exit by the St.
Lawrence. We take the following from the New York
Courier and Enquirer, June 3. The go-a- head
nation, however, will find it difficult to enlarge
their canal to the size of our St. Lawrence :
The difficulty, delay, and cost of transporting the
produce of the Lake region through the canal to tide
water, are becoming very serious considerations—more
especially when everything that can be raised is eagerly
forced forward to the advantage of existing high prices
on the sea-board. Miserable, paltry party politics,
which forbade the completion of the Erie Canal—and,
what is hardly less reprehensible—the apathy or indif-
ference of large portions of the business people of the
country, which has permitted to be engrafted into the
new constitution provisions that tie up the Legislature
from adequate grants towards completing the enlarge-
ment even now when its necessity is demonstrated—
these causes combined subject the whole world, we may
almost say, to delay in receiving full supplies from our
overflowing abundance, and impose upon agriculture
an unnecessary and enormous tax in the way of toll and
freights.' "
The English Funds have been very dull this morning,
and are not buoyant. The rise in the corn market, and
the decrease of bullion in the Bank, are still the causes
assigned. Consols have been 89 to 884 for present trans-
fer, and 898 -1- for account. New Three-and a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 918 4. Bank Stock has been firm,
at a rise to 197 i. Exchequer-bills are 9s. to 12s. pre-
mium; and India Bonds ss. to 10s. premium.
The Foreign market is equally dull. The only bar-
gain in Spanish Bonds has been in the Passive, at 44.
The Five per Cents. have been nominally 21 to 22, and
the Three per Cents. 31 to 32. The letter sent by the
Committee of Bondholders to the Spanish Ambassador
will, it is hoped, have some effect. Mexican Bonds have
been at 191, and Chilian at 92 to Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. have been 57i and the Four per
Cents. 90k to 91.
The Railway Share market is quiet, but prices gene-
rally are maintained. French Shares have improved.
