WALLACHIA.
A correspondent at Constantinople writes on the
15th to the Univers :—" Important news is just ar-
rived from Moldo-Wallachia. The domicile of Omer
Pacha, General of the Ottoman troops, had been
violated, upon the order of General Du Hamel, by
Russian soldiers, under the pretext of arresting a
young Wallachian officer, accused, but wrongfully,
of having taken part in the revolution. The real in-
tention of the diplomatic General was only to prove
to the people that the Turks could not protect them
against the Russians. Fuad Effendi, Commissary of
the Porte, has made a protest, and the Divan has as-
sembled, and again called upon Russia to withdraw
her troops. But the will of the Czar is that the oc-
cupation shall continue for four years. In this con•
ffict, to which side will the policy of France incline ?
If she knows her own interest, she will not hesitate to
IA I join the Porte. The position of Russia is not, in
reality, so strong as it is believed to be. A Jacquerie
has been declared in the Government of Puitowa,
and already about a hundred of the feudal lords
have been hung, and their castles plundered and
burnt. The gentleman-tourist who brought this
news adds, in all simplicity, that he was
obliged to leave the country, because who-
ever spoke of the insurrection of the peasantry was
condemned to Siberia, and he was not sure that he
should have resolution enough to refrain from doing
so. The Archbishop of Austrian Servia has just de-

APPREHENSION OF A SUPPOSED
GANG OF SWINDLERS.
On Wednesday afternoon, a female and her son
and daughter were placed before William Jackson,
Esq., M.P., at the Birkenhead Police-court, on a
number of charges of having obtained goods
ei under false pretences from tradesmen in the town.
7k The two females gave their names as Mary
55 Green and Jane Green, the male prisoner being
the son of the former. The same parties are
well known to the Guardian Society of Liverpool
and other towns, having passed under the names of
White, Whitehouse, Waterhouse, Cooper, Robinson,
Lee and latterly at Birkenhead, first under the name of
Wilson, and then Green. Through the active exer-
tions of Reay, secretary to the Guardian Society,
' they have been apprehended. On Tuesday they
were brought before the magistrates at Chester,
,M but there not being sufficient evidence to convict
them at Chester, they were brought to Birken-
head, where they have latterly been lodging
34 at the house of Mr. Davidson, No. 6, Lord-
street. About a fortnight ago they took lodg-
ings at this house, in the absence of Mr. Davidson,
but giving directions that they (the prisoners) should
answer the door themselves when any person called
upon them. This and other circumstances excited
si Mr. Davidson's suspicions on his return home, but no
attempt was made to dislodge them. The husband of
the pretended Mrs. Green was along with them, but
os. seldom went out. They had no luggage, but stated
3% that it would be sent in a week or ten days. Before it
arrived, however, all suddenly decamped, leaving a
% candle lighted on the table, and, of course, forgetting
- to pay for their lodgings. During the time they
8s• lodged at Mr. Davidson's, the females obtained goods
from Mr. E. Taylor, draper; Mr. M. Kirdy,
- jeweller, Market-cross ; Mrs. Lucey ; MT'S. Foley,
'6
fishmonger; Mr. Fullard, butcher; Mrs. Bennett,
smallware dealer ; Mr. Rhoden, publican ; Mr.
Salem, mat manufacturer, &c. Their general
pretence was, that they had taken the house in
Lord-street, and were about to enter on larger pre-
mises in Price•street. Several parcels of goods were
. also sent, on the order of Mrs. Green, for the ap-
proval of Mr. Green, but not returned. It appeared
from the evidence of Mr. Heathcock, butcher, in the
market, that about three months ago Miss Green
-visited his shop, and represented that ber lather was
a Liverpool merchant, recently come to reside
in Clifton-crescent ; that they had a large
family, and wished hm to supply them with meat,
which " pa" always paid for every Saturday. They
contrived to obtain meat to the value of .505., but on
Saturday decamped without " pa" visiting the
butcher's shop. At this time the party passed under
the name of Wilson. There being reason to suppose
that further evidence would be obtained against
them, the females were remanded. The boy was set
at liberty. The females were remarkrbly well-
dressed, are fine, full-faced looking women, and their
address would lead to the conclusion that they are
well educated.
The prisoners were again placed before the magi-
strates yesterday afternoon, when further disclosures
were made. James Shillinglaw, jun., stated that, on
the 6th November, the younger prisoner came to
his lather's shop in Birkenhead, and purchased
eleven pennyworth of bread, for she paid a five shil-
ling piece, which he afterwards discovered to be
counterfeit, and produced it. Mrs. Kerr, of Clifton-
crescent, said they engaged her lodgings at a weekly
rent, in July last, under the name of Wilson; but
at the end of the week decamped without paying.
Mrs. Hatton, of Leece-street, Liverpool, said the
younger prisoner got fruit and butcher's meat from
her husband's shop on the 13th, 14th, and 15th July,
to the extent of 11. 1 ls. 6d., on the pretence that they
were housekeepers, living at No. 9, Myrtle-street, but
on going to the house she found it empty. These
were obtained under the name of Cooper. She
added, that the elder prisoner told her they had
kept a druggist's shop in London-road for twenty-
five years. The elder prisoner said this was a
mistake. What she had stated was, that about
twenty-three years ago her husband had a shop in
London-road. It was also stated that goods had been
obtained from Mr. Moffat, druggist ; Mr. Craven,
baker; and Mr. M'Whirter, baker, all of Birkenhead,
under similar pretences. A large quantity of clothes
and other articles which had been seized by the
po.ice were produced in court, some of which had the
marks obliterated. One chemise was marked "Asylum
No. 46," and some collars were marked "E. W."
Mr. Reap then produced a witness from Manchester
with whom the prisoners had lodged. She gave her
name as Ann Buckstone, living in Dale-street, Cheet-
ham-hill, and said that the prisoners, with the hus-
band of the elder, and another son and daughter,
took lodging at her house six weeks ago. They
remained three weeks, and then decamped without
paying. After they left, several articles were missed,
including some towels, a blanket, and two pillow-
slips. A towel produced by Police-constable Rouke,
found on the prisoners, was identified by the
witness as part of the missing property. The son of
the elder female, who was in court, was also identified
as one of the party who lodged at her house, and was
placed in custody. She also stated that at least
thirty persons had applied for accounts since the pri-
soners decamped. They were then ordered to be
taken to Manchester on the charge of Mrs. Buck-
stone. It is but justice to add, that Mr. M'Harg,
superintendent of the Birkenhead _police force, and
Police-constable Rouke, deserve the highest praise for
the activity end exertion they have exercised in their
endeavours to bring the prisoners to justice.-
Liverpool Mercury of this day.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 1.)
SUGAR.—There was no improvement apparent in the
proceedings in Raw Sugar for home trade purposes, and
prices are still drooping, notwithstanding the decrease
(
of supply at market. West India met with little atten-
tion for either scale or pan, and only 360 hhds and trcs
found buyers, making 1,770 fur the week, and at prices
6d per cwt lower. The market for free labour Sugar
closes with much heaviness. For public sale on Tues-
-150 hhds Barbadoes, and for Thursday 1,308 boxes Yel-
low Ilavannah, duty paid or allowed, and 1,200 baskets
Java Sugar, are deolared.
REFINED.—To-day there was much dulness in the
market for home trade Refined Goods, and former rates
are with difficulty kept up. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
not cheaper, but there was less disposition shown to do
business.
Matrarrius.—This afternoon little activity was ap-
parent in the market for Mauritius Sugar, and 1,052
in with caution bags at auction were only in part sold at barely former
rates; low yellow went at 335, fine brown 32s to 32s 6d,

h , and mid
1,000 chests yellow Havannah at 184 to 20 the week are
to tine, and a cargo of white Bahia at 20 or middling
i per cwt for
Trieste.
Cocos.—There has been more inquiry after West
India this week, but holders insisting upon better prices
operated against business by private treaty. Of 44i
bags Trinidad offered at auction, a part only sold. The
better sort is much wanted, and is in small supply, For
Foreign the demand is not brisker, and prices keep low;
G uayaquil is only worth 28s to 28s 6d, and Brasil 28s to
29s per cwt. A public sale of 50 bags 41 barrels Trini-
dad Cocoa is declared to take place on Tuesday.
COFFEE.—To-day the dealings in Coffee by private
treaty were of little moment both by exporters and home
trade buyers, still holders were not disposed to accept
lower rates. None was put up to auction. The value
of Native Ceylon is from 26s 6d to 28s per cwt. On
Tuesday 15 casks 22 barrels Jamaica, and on Wednes-
day 4,000 bags Costa Rica Coffee will be offered for pub-
lic
competition.
Tz.t.—Public sales to the extent 0115,900 packages
