LAW 1N TELLIGEIN CB,
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 12.
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
THB QUEEN V. 0913ORNE.

This case was resumed at the sitting of the Court to-day, and
closed at half-past one o'clock, when the Learned Judge commenced
charging the jury. The allegation, as deposed to by the different wit-
nesses, was that the defendant had cleared out twelve casks of
brandy for Valparaiso, but had landed them at Hung,erford Market.
The penalty incurred by this proceeding was 2,G42/. 135., being three
times the value of the article, which was 8821. 4s. 4d., including the
duty, and which penalty the Act gave the informer the power to sue
for.

The jury, without a moment's consideration, found a verdict for the
Crown.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then said that according to the powers of
the Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 87, section 105, it was necessary
to prove the formal conviction of the defendant, which was the
source to be adopted after verdict; and the Act provided that in
such case, in lieu of penalty, the party convicted should be imprisoned
for a period of not more than twelve, nor less than six months, in
the House of Correction.

The defendant's Counsel opposed such a course, on the ground that
it was a new charge, upon which they were not prepared, and it was
also a question of identity.
His LORDSIIIP said it appeared to him that in this case the ju-y
had nothing to do with it, they having already found the verdict.
But the case should go up to the Exchequer in banco, where it would
be competent for the Crown to pray the judgment of the Court.

COURT OF CO,tI.IIOIV PLEAS, May 12.
This Court was occupied the whole day in hearing actions for the
recovery of the amount of bills of exchange.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and IVIr. Alderman Htlona.)

STEALING OATS.—Thomas Savell and Thomas Crane, the first a
carman and the latter a groom, were char4ed with stealing a sack
and three bushels of oats, the property of Mr. Hansen, the late em-
ployer of the first-mentioned prisoner.
The prisoner Savell was defended by Mr. Payne; the prisoner
Crane by Mr. Ballantine.
After evidence had been received, and Counsel had spoken,
The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of
Guilty
Sentenced to imprisonment for three months in the House of Cor-
rection, and to be kept to bard labour.
ROBBERY, FROM TUE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—John Tapson,
aged 23, a plasterer, and John Beard (the latter of whom had been
out on bail), were indicted for stealing a portmanteau, a gown, a
pelisse, a watch, and other articles, the property of the Great
Western Railway.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin were for the prosecution ; Mr. Bid-
'entitle and Mr. Parry for the prisoners.
Mr. CLARKSON opened the case, and detailed the circumstances
connected with it, which will be fully understood by a reference to
the evidence adduced. The following witnesses were then called :

David Williams said that he lived at Breath, Brecknockshire,—nd
on the 31st of March last they were passengers by the train, which
reached the station at Paddington at half-past eight. He had a port-
manteau on the luggage-box, addressed " Miss Williams, passenger."
That portmanteau had gone. The contents were principally articles
of dress belonging to his dauihter, and might amount to 151.
Sarah Williams said that she accompanied her father to London,
and she had a portmanteau on the luggage box, which was found to
be gone on arriving at the station.
Mary Elizabeth Wetherden was residing with her father in Palace
New-road, Lambeth. She knew the prisoner Tapson in Cornwall.
Their acquaintance was very slight. On the 19th March he called
at her father's to giveinformation of her friends in the country, and be
asked if they had a spare bed with which they could accommodate
him. On March 31st the prisoner said that he would take her little
brother to meet two cousins of witness's who were expected by rail-
way, and he should. bring them home. She had not expected these
relatives. Her cousins were named May. She (witness) went out
on the same evening, and did not return till a quarter past ten, and
she found Mr. Beard down stairs, and in a quarter of an hour Tap-
son came down. He said that his key would not fit the box, and he
would be obliged to cut it open. Beard asked whether his (Tapson's)
friends had sent him any cream? Beard said, when he was going
away, that he would endeavour to get Tapson into the Old Bailey to
hear the trials—(Laughter)—on the next day.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—She had never seen Beard
before, and the only other time she saw him was when he was in
custody. Beard did not go up stairs at all ; he said, "I wish Tapson
Would make haste, for I'm in a hurry to go."
Edwin Wetherden, a boy of eight years old, had gone oat on the
morning of the 31st with the prisoner Tapson. The prisoner took
him to the Ship public-house, where he changed his coat, and he
afterwards took him to Covent-garden Market, were Tapson hired a
cab and called upon Mr. Beard, who came away with them.
They then went to a beer shop, and afterwards to the
Great Western Railway. Witness got sick from the

where they drank something. They then drove to Lambeth, to his
father's house, where the cabman gave the portmanteau to the ser-
vant, and she put it outside the kitchen door. Mr. Tapson after-
wards took the portmanteau up stairs.
Elizabeth Curtis, servant to Mr. Wetherden, corroborated the fact
that Tapson had returned at night in a cab, bringing a portmanteau
with him.

Joseph David, constable at the Great Western Railway, saw the
prisoners on the platform on the evening of the 31st, accompanied by
a little boy.

road—the prisoner Tapson, on the Ist April, brought a satin dress,
valued at 81., a pelisse, &c., and asked 16s. on then. Witness asked
him where he lived ? He said at Gravesend, and that a female had
given them to him a fortnight ago. When asked why he had
come up from Gravesend to pawn them, he said tiiat hi
had slept the night before in Red Lion-street, and that he had that
day accompanied a friend to Charing-cross, and had just stepped
over the bridge. Witness told him that he would be justified in de-
taining the things ; and he sent the boy out for a policeman. The
prisoner then left, saying something about "law." He returned
again at half-past nine at night, and was given into custody.
Police-constable L 52—Took the prisoner Tapson into custody.
Its said he ha 1 got the dresses from Miss Cato, St. John's-wood.
He could not say more particularly where she lived. He found on
searching him 21. and odd monies, and some duplicates. He found
some papers in his pocket with the address of Mr. Wetherden
and Mr. Beard, and on going to the first-named gentle-
man's residence he found a portmanteau, which had
been cut open and rifled, with the exception of one scarf. He after-
wards went to Mr. Beard's, in Basinguall-street, and took him into
custody.
Robert Wetherden corroborated the evidence of his daughter, and
a shopman to Messrs. Whistler, pawnbrokers, Strand, proved the
pledging of several articles of female dress with his employers
for 6s.
Joseph Collard, Superintendent of the Great Western Railway Po-
lice, was examined at considerable length by Mr. Clarkson, and his
evidence was confirmatory of the previous witnesses. A statement
of the evidence taken before the magistrate was put in, and singu-
larly enough tile prisoner Tapson there admitted that he had taken
the portmanteau, but on opening it, did not know what to do with
the contents.
Mr. Parry and Mr. Ballantine having replied ; the Recorder
summed up.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty in the case of Tapson, but
with a recommendation to mercy, as they (the jury) considered the
offence was committed while in a state of drunkenness, and there-
fore not fully conscious of his actions. Beard was declared Not
Guilty. _

Evidence was then given to show a previous conviction against
Tapson in Cornwall.

The RECORDER. in passing sentence, said he wished both the pri-
soners to remain at the bar while he did so, in order that Beard might
understand from him that if the jury had come to adifferent conclu-
sion in his case, he (the Recorder) should have been pertectlysatisiled
with that finding, and should have acted upon it to the extent of
sending huh out of the country. Ile thought it right to igy this,

because he felt it to be his duty to pass a sentence of transportation
upon his companion Tapson, and that sentence was that he be trans-
t.ort_d for seven years, and he trusted that all persons who had been
concerned in pillaging railways would understand that in every case
of conviction of that offence a sentence of transportation would inva-
riably follow.

Mr. DOANE applied to the Court for IDe expenses of the prosecutor.
The RECORDER said, certainly they `Would' be allowed. It was a
very proper prosecution, and the Court would take care to throw its
protection over property which was necessarily placed in the hands
of the proprietors of public conveyances of this description.
William Mortimer, 24, baker, was indicted for stealing thirteen
spoons, sixteen f,rks, and other articles of plate, value 351., the pro-
perty of Maria Travers.
Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution.

It appeared that the prosectitrix is a lady residing at Clapham
New Park, and on the 27th April, the prisoner was seen lurking
about the house, and eventually he pushed up the window of the
room, in which there was a quantity of plate upon the sideboard, a
portion of which he succeeded in making his escape with. Ile was
not apprehended until some time afterwards, when he was clearly
identified as the man who had been seen to act in the way described,
and in addition to this his shoes tallied exactly with the marks upon
the chair, in which he had stepped from the window .nto the room,
None of the stolen property was recovered.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.

A certificate was then produced to show that the prisoner was
convicted at the Kingston Assizes, in 1842, and sentenced to be trans-
ported for seven years.

_ .
The RECORDER inquired how it happened that the prisoner came to
be at large, after being sentenced to transportation for seven years,
in 1842.

Mr. Cope said that the prisoner was sent to the hulks, but in con
sequence of his good conduct he received a free pardon, after being
there three years and a half.

The RECOEDER sentenced hhn to be transported for ten years

NEW COURT.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderman FAREBROTTIER.)
John Rogers, aged 20, remanded from last sest-lon, was indicted for
feloniously breaking into and entering a building within the curtilags
of the dwelling-house of John Hillyer, and. stealing one live fowl,
value one shilling.

Thu young man was surprised as he was leaving the outhouse by a
young woman, who called her brother. Several skeleton keys were
found on the prisoner, and, on looking into the building, the fowl in
question was seen lying dead on the floor, and its head wrung off.
Mr. BALLANTINE, in his defence of the prisoner, contended that
the fowl was not alive as stated in the indictment, that there was no
evidence that the fowl had been stolen alive.

The COMMON SERGEANT observed, that the objection was taken on
a point of law, which would be perfectly satisfied if the fowl had only
been removed a single foot and then killed. It was next to impos-
sible that one could wring off a fowl's head while it sat on the perch,
and it was at least unusual far fowls to wring their own heads off.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the point was, whether the fowl had been
stolen alive. It might have been on the floor as the young man
entered, and if it had been killed without being lifted from the floor,
the jury must acquit the prisoner.
The Comfort SERGEANT said it was for the jury to determine the
probability of the fowl being killed as the Counsel represented.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and as this was not the first con-
viction, he was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
William Gay and William AP !Was% two young men, were indicted
for stealing two asses. Gay gleaded guilty.
John Brown said, he had two asses on Wimbledon Common about
the 6th of April last, and missed them on the 7th; but saw them in
keeping of a policeman the same day.
The constable stated, that he met the two prisoners in Brixton,
leading the donkeys; and, on accosting them, Gay said they were
his, and M'lutosh that he had been with Gay to bring the
donkeys home.
The COMMON-SERGEANT directed the jury to acynit Wlntosh, for
there was no evidence before them that he knew the donkeys were
not the property of Gay.
When the jury had found M'lntosh not guilty, Gay's story was
then heard. It appeared that he had failed in establishing a business
as a pork-butcher, and that when he was in a state of comparative
destitution he met with Wlntosh on the day in question, and not
before.

The Comfort SERGEANT had no doubt that the prisoner M'lntosh,
who had been convicted several times before, had induced Gay to
commit the theft, and then to tell the story he had, in order to save
M'lntosh being transported. As the evidence was, the jury could
come to no other verdict than they had already given.

In consideration of t.ay's position he was sentenced only to four
months' imprisonment and hard labour.

Benjamin Norman and John Paterson were placed at the bar, in-
dicted for stealing a chest of tea, value 121., the property of John Eve.

WiMan S. Strata, carman to the preseCutor,.stted-that he called
at the French Horn public house, Crutched-friars, on the Ist of May,
and left a chest of tea under the care of the prisoner Norman, who
was officiating at that time as pot-boy, until he returned. When he
had loaded with some other articles, he returned to the French Horn.
where he was told that a man had called and taken away the chest,
and that Norman, who had absconded, helped him away with it.
John Scott, a porter, was in the tap of the French Horn on the Ist
of May, about one o'clock, when a man whose face he did not see
came in and said lie was sent for a chest of tea for John Eve.
Norman replied," I have one here," and assisted to place the chest
on his shoulder. After the man had gonet the hostler
said, " Harry, do you know that man " No," was the
prisoner's reply; upon which the hostler remarked upon
the folly of giving away the chest to a stranger, and witness
agreed with him. In a short time the man returned with the chest
on his shoulder and called out to the potboy, " Norman, where shall
I take it to?" " Oh, just outside to the cart there," said Norman.
The hostler corroborated the last witness.
Norman said he was employed by the carman to send up the chest
to him and employed Paterson.
The jury, after consultation, could not agree, and retired. After
half an hour's absence they returned, with a verdict of Not Guilty in
reference to each of the prix mers.
The Court did not appear to expect the verdict which was returned.
Thomas Winch, aged 29, was indicted for se.ealing a purse and ten
sovereigns, the property of John Lynas, master of the brig Yorkshire.
John Lynas said tl:at he went on the 14th of February last and
cashed a cheque for 10/., an", being in Gracechurch-street
imme-
diately after, he met with a gentleman, a stranger, who invited him
into the Bell Tavern to take a glass of ale. They had not been long
there before the prisoner came into the room and sat down.
The prisoner then inquired if witness had ever been in New York,
and added that a friend of his lately died there, and left him an
estate and a large sum of money in the bank, and if a hundred or
two pounds would be of advantage to him, he would lend it on security.
Upon this the person who had first met with witness chimed in, say-
ing he wished to have a loan of some money, and he would take a
hundred or two, if the gentleman would make him the loan.
The prisoner agreed to do so, and the other urged the witness to take
a loan of a hundred or two, but Mr. Lynas refused, saying he had no
need of it. The other then said he would go out for a stamp receipt,
and moved towards the door, but when th re the prisoner called to
him, " Are you coming back ?" and again, " Are you sure to come
back, then ?" By this time witness had risen to ac-
company the other, when the prisoner said to him,
" What, then, are you going too ? Are you coming
back ?" The other then cried. " I'm sure to come back,"
repeating it once or twice, and then threw down his purse on the
table as a security for his returning. The witness Lynas seeing
this, Immediately took out his purse, containing ten sovereigns, and
threw it down to the prisoner. Lynas and the other walked towards
the door of the tavern, where witness's companion slipped him,
and on witness returning to the room he found that the prisoner
was gone with the purse and all it contained. Witness never saw
prisoner after till he met him in Threadneedle•street on the 7th
April Prisoner immediately dropped his umbrella so as to hide his
countenance, and when he saw witness following, ran across the
street till he was taken in Pleugh-court, Lombard-street.
John Banger, City constable 562, saw the prisoner running and the
witness after him, and took the former in Plough-court, Lombard-
street. OR being charged with swindling the witness out of 101.
he said he owed a great many persons, he did not knew the witness,
but if he was in debt to him he would pay it At the station-house
he was searched when two counterfeit bills, dated from Quebec, ene
for 1111. and one for 601., were found on him and two purses, one Of
them containing a counterfeit guinea, which appeared to some in
Court to be a gilt shilling.

Henry Martin, policeman, assisted to take the prisoner to the
station-home. It was observed that the prisoner did not bring his
umbrella into the station-home, but it was Sound outside, and in it
a purse containing twenty-six counterfeit sovereigns and nine coun-
terfeit halt-sovereigns.

Mr. BALDwiN defended the prisoner.
The jury found him Guilty, and the prisoner Ins sentenced to
seven years' transportation.

POLIcE iiN thLLIGENCE
BOW STREET.

Mr. John Docker, a medical student, and .211 r. Roper, a
fellow-student and companion, both of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, were finally examined on suspicion of stealing a
silver fork from an oyster-shop in Vinegar-yard.
The depo-itions of- the former witnesses were fully taken,
and the following additional evidence elicited :=
John Tozer saw his sister, who served the oysters, carry up
two silver forks for the use of the prisoners, and, with her,
missed one of them immediately after the departure of the
young men from the shop. His sister went to look for them,
and meanwhile Dowker returned for his umbrella, and was
instantly charged with having taken the fork. He said, if
anybody took it, it must have been the young man who ac-
companied him, and whom he had known only a few hours,
having met him at MoncriefT's, where he had been playing
at cards with him. He was dien given into custody.
Sergeant Chadwick took him to Bow-street. Dowker de-
nied that he had taken the fork; but offered him half-a-
sovereign not to take him to the station-house. He said, in
the first place, that he was a student in King's College; but
after inquiry Lad been made, he referred witness to St. Bar-
tholomew's. Witness did not think him drunk. He ap-
peared confused, and might have been drinking; but he knew
what he was about. Whilst at the police-station he wrote a
note to Mr. Clark, of the Artichoke public-house, in White
Hart. street, in the following words :—" Dear Clark,—Come,
and bring all the friends you can, as I am accused of stealing
a silver fork from an oyster shop."
Inspector Black took the charge at the police-station.
Dowker there stated that, " as he was passing along Holborn
(not knowing his way to Catherine-street), he met this man
in the street, and asked him Li show him the war ; upon
which they walked together to Moncrieff's, in brydges-
street, and had some ale and played at cards together, after
which they went to the oyster-shop." He also told witness
that he knew Moncrieff; but, on the latter being sent for,
he said that "he never saw Dowker before, that he had not
been to his house, and that there was no such thing as a pack
of cards in his place."
The only evidence against the other young man (Roper)
was, that he was the party who accompanied Dowker to the
oyster-shop, having previously dined with him at Clark's.
where they were in the habit of meeting. Immediately on
hearing that he was suspected jointly with Dowker, he sur-
rendered himself for examination.

Mr. HALL decided on committing tLem both to the sessions
for trial, but consented to admit them to tail.
WORSHIP-STREET.

John Conway, a powerful Irishman, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Bingham, charged with the following brutal out-
rage, and two other men, named Joseph Conway and James
Mann, were charged with attempting to rescue the first-
named prisoner from custody, and violently assaulting the
police in the execution of their duty.
It appeared from the evidence that at 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night the prisoners forced their way into the Crown
public-house, in Church-street, Shoreditch, and demanded
to be served with drink, but the barwonian, in consequence
of the lateness of the hour, refused to comply with their
orders, and requested them to leave without; on which John
Conway seized a large tumbler from the counter, and, smash-
ing it to pieces, flung the fragments at her head. On hear-
ing the uproar occasioned by the prisoners' conduct, Joseph.
Drew, the potman, hastened to her assistance, and was re-
monstrating with the elder Conway, when he seized Drew by
the hair, and forcing him against the wall, attempted to
gouge out his eye with his thumb, and although thwarted in
his intention, inflictecrauch a severe laceration on the upper
part of the cheek with his nails that the eye became blood-
shot and much swollen. He finally struck the witness
several blows about the head, and was proceeding to
further vi&ence, when several policemen, who had been
attracted to the house by the disturbance inside,
succeeded in getting in and seizing the first-named prisoner;
but the instant two of them, Sergeant Price and 111‘Govern,
66 H, had done so, they were struck down an severely
kicked by the other two men, who expressed their determi
nation to rescue their companion, and resisted so violently

ET
INCITING A SERVANTLAMB
TO PLUNDEH.
R 1115 EMPLOYER.—
T 1 omas Smith, Edward Wader, George Greenhick, and Wm.
Henry Alexander, all of whom are «ell known to the police,
were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of in-
citing William Curtis, a servant in the employment of Mr.
Stokes, a boot and shoe-manufacturer and leather-cutter in
au catenaive way of businesa in tha Walwyrth-rcad, ty plan-

der his master. It appeared that Sergeant Morton and Po-
lice-constable Quinnies, of the P division, had discovered that
the lad Curtis had been hi the habit, for some weeks past, of
assembling with the prisoners, and, knowing the characters
of the latter, they acquainted Mr. Stokes with the circum-
stance. On examining his stock Mr. Stokes missed a quan-
tity of leather, and also some shoes and boots, and, Curtis
being charged with taking them, he made a disclosure
which led to the apprehension of the prisoners. Curtis,
who was placed at the bar with the other prisoners, made
a lengthened voluntary statement, in which he said he
had been beset by the prisoners, who first by entreaties
endeavoured to induce him to rob his master, and
offered him half the value of 'every article he procured
for them. He, however, declined to do anything of the
sort, upon which they threatened to inform his master of
c;riett.ing that would transport him ; and, before doing this,
they also threatened to give him a couple of good thrashings.
At length, by their repeated threats, he complied with their
request, and had on more than one occasion handed them
pieces of leather over a fence flora the premises of his master.
They subsequently pressed him to lock them into the shed
of his master some night, so that they might rob the pre-
mises; and also asked him if he was aware whether his
master kept much money in the house, and, if so, if there
would be much difficulty in getting at it. He refused to
lock them into the shed, and told them that his master had
bells to all the doors and windows in his house, and also kept
loaded firearms. One or two of them said that, this being
the case, it was "No go ;" but they still kept urging him to
get articles of property for them, and he did so up to the
time he made the disclosure to his master. The prisoners de-
nied much of the statement of the lad, and said that the
offer to rob first came from Curtis himsalf; and that he fre-
quently requested them to bring a truck with them, and he
should fill it for them with his master's leather. The pri-
soners were all remanded to a future day, Curtis being
ordered to be kept apart from the others.

(From the London New Price Current of May 12.)
SUGAIL—To-day West India Sugar was wanted, and an
advance of 6d per cwt for all descriptions took place, but
business of moment was prevented by the show continuing
scanty. The quantity disposed of was 250 hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were in excellent request
by the home trade, and advanced rates were paid.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was in ex-
cellent request, and at public sale, 6,814 bags 71 casks were
all sold at an advance on former rates of 6d per cwt for
yellow, indeed the rise on brown and grey kinds was gene-
rally is per cwt.
EAST INDIA. —This afternoon there was no public sale of
Bengal Sugar, but privately some parcels have been sold at
prices rather above those previously quoted.
SPlRM—Leeward Island Rum cannot be obtained upon
lower terms, as the quantity at market is small ; but the bu-
siness transacted has been trifling, at 2s per gallon, proof
strength. Calcutta is little wanted, and prices are not so
firm. The demand is less for Jamaica of low and mid sorts,
prices not so firm, but good and fine are wanted, at full rates.
Demerara has been sought after, but no further advance in
the value tias t iken place. The deliveries of Brandy are on
the increase, still the demand bas been limited since this
day week, and holders experience difficulty in getting former
rates for any kind. Geneva is dull of sale, and there are
sellers of common export at Is lld to 2s, and fine for home
cousumptiec at 2s 6d to 3s per gallon. English Coin Spirits
are little wanted, and there are sellers at lOs 6d per gallon
nett cash.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was purchased
with more freedom, and 490 bags at public sale were sold at
full rates. Of Native some parcels were sold, and 101 bags at
auction brought full prices. Of Quilon 430 cases and 313
bags were offered, and nearly all taken rather above the
value.

TEA—No further advance has taken place in the value of
Congou, but a good demand has been experienced for all de-
scriptions. In Pouchong several sales have been made at
4d to 7d, and better quality at 8d to 10d. Twankay is
wanted. For Gunpowder and Imperial, prices cannot 10
quoted higher. In fine scented Orange Pekoe, there has been
a large business done. Hyson has been in excellent request/
prices are firm.

Rim—To-day Bengal Rice met with attention, and 4,235
bags at public sale were all sold, and the rates obtained were
generally equal to those that previously existed.
SPICES.—This afternoon a fair business was transacted
privately in Black Pepper at full rates, and 325 bags at auc-
tion were sold at 2d to 2id for good fair Black Penang, and
at 2id to 2id for sea damaged; 50 cases of Bengal Ginger
were sold at 28s to 29s for middling small home consumption
kind, and at 26s to 27s for low quality.
COCOA.—This afternoon 104 bags of Trinidad at public sale
were sold at firm rates—good middling red at 44s 6d, mid-
dling 41s ad to 425, and ordinary dull at 33s per cwt.
Hors.—Many parcels have been disposed of, bat at no int-
provement in prices, although the supply at market is but
moderate. The accounts from the plantations are now be-
coming interesting—the Hop Plant has made considerable
progress, and tying is now become general.
hintGo.—Several purchases have been made in East India
since this day week; the rates paid have been fully equal to
those of the last quarterly sale itnd in some cases rather
above for the better sorts.

SALTPETRE.—For English Refined reduced rates have been
taken, but at 293 6d to 30s per cwt a good business has been
transacted. Holders of Rough are still inclined to realise,
and accepted prices 6d per cwt under those that previously
prevailed, but the trade have operated with caution privately.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon a good demand prevailed,
and 110 bags of Honduras at aaction were sold at stiffer rata,
viz., at ss. 7d to 5s lld for silvers, and good to fine at 65 W
6s 3d per lb.

Olin.—This afternoon at public sale 10 tuns of Sperm Oil
were sold at 801 for Colonial. 70 tuns of Southern sold at
lower rates, viz.—at 251 to 251 5s for fine, 24/ lOs to 24115 s
for good, and at 231 158 to 2415 s for low and middling quality.
TALLOW.—Purchases to a fair extent have been made in
Russian on the spot at full rates. At auction 200 casks of
Odessn Beef Tallow were nearly all taken in at 41s 91,
Although there are sellers of Russian for the last three months
of the year upon lower terms, still buyers are cautious in
their proceedings. A good demand has existed for Austra-
lian on the spat,' but better prices have not been obtained.
Other sorts have been in fair request at about the former
currencies.

WEST WHEAL JEWEL MINING COMPANY.—'The
annual meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the arce in
Old Bond-street. It appeared from the report, that the north partfl
the mine had not turned out profitable ; the western part h..:
equalled the expectations, and held out every inducement for /1.1,
creased operations. The agents recommended another call of IL
without which they would lose 2001. a month. 90,0001. had already_
been expended on the mine. The directors hoped, by confining they,
operations to the profltabie part of the mine, not only to pay outlay'
but to realise a di- idend for the shareholders. Mr. D. Moo.
moved a eta of thanks to the directors, which was seconded by lir
Commander, when the meeting adjourned.
PRAYER-BOOK AND HOMILY SoCIETT.—on
the thirty-fourth annual general meeting of the supporters of °li
society (the object of which is to circulate at home and abroad
'
Prayer-books and all other works of the church) was held in the
lower room, Exeter-hall. The Marquis of Cholmondeley was in the
chair. The report set forth that a fifth edition of the liturgy in
Chinese had been printed. The Reformation in Germany had celled
forth the energies of the society, Its correspondents in that country
having been supplied with copies of the prayer-took and of some of
the homilies in the German language ; also the Thirty-nine Article,
of religion both in German and Latin. The attention of the mana-
gers of Om society was in a great measure directed to the spiritual
condition of British seamen, and during the past year no fewer than
3,667 vessels in the port of London had been visited, making a total
within the last twenty years of more than 50,000 ships of 'radon.
kinds Agents had been stationed at the principal ports of the king'
dont for the purpose of distributing religious books amongst th.
crews.

The Lord Mayor went to Spithead, on Sunday morn-
ing, to 'view the line-of•battle ships previously to their departure itir
the Mediterr nom.
W e have reason t(,) beli-ve that there is not the slightest
truth in the rumour that the Hon. Member for Oxford, Mr. Maclean'
inten Is to resign his seat in Parliament.
Intl ligence has been received at Manchester House,
announcing the decease of the Marquise Davoure, mother af Tie.
Countess d St. Aulaire, who expired a few days since, at the a
vanced age of 81.
GOODWIN AND WILLIABIS.—These well-known Plen
rowed a match yesterday for 20 sous., from Putney-bridge to 111°'

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the ten year,
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
ntroduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
gington and CO., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
o sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma-
oriel itself,
and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
an be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
hey be distinguished from real silver.

INCREASING CROWDS AT THE " NEW

The houses just opened by MOSES and SON,
Occasion more stir than they ever have done,
The public assemble in multitudes vast,
To behold the great rival of present and past,
This monarch of all great commercial affairs
Is throng'd in the warehouse— is throng'd on the stairs,
The show-rooms and gallery likewise present
A proof how the mind of the public is bent.
such excitement has never prevailed in the East,
Or not since the tunnel was opened, at least.
Let the thousands that crowd to behold what is done
By the dauntless projectors—E. MOSES and SON;
Remember this fact, that however they flock,
They can all be supplied from the present spring stock.
Were treble the number to visit the Mart,
B. MOSES and S)N could accomplish their part.
Let the hint be sufficient for thousands to come
And behold the grand market, or lay out a sum.
