thus cast it upri the nation, and it was with much
regret that he too often saw depraved parents shirking
their duties in a similar way. He much feared that so
long as the present discipline prevailed in Parkhurst
but little good could be expected to accrue to the children
sent there, for it was essential to reformation that the
sweets of good conduct should be impressed on their
minds. The only course, however, which was open to
him was to deal with the case as the law stood, and sen-
tence the prisoner to six months' imprisonment.
Several other indictments against very young pri-
soners were also tried during the course of the day.

the following circumstanceP. He said that he was cousin
to the late King of Poland, and also closely allied to the
Duke of Lorraine. Being obliged to quit his country in
the late Polish revolution, he took refuge in this coun-
try, where his necessities were liberally relieved ; but
fearing to tire out his friends, and having prospects of
permanent employment in the United States of America,
he was desirous of going out ac an emigrant to that
eoun try.
The MAGISTRATE told the old gentleman, who was
grey-headed and much advanced in years, bearing
several military decorations of honour upon his person,
that the funds placed at the disposal of that Court were
intended for specific purposes, within any of which his
case disi not come.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Richard Keyes, a deputy messAager of the Court of
Bankruptcy, was brought before Mr. Alderman John-
son, on suspicion of having broken into the premises of
Messrs. Mappin, dealers in fancy goods and cutlery, in
Fore-street, Cripplegate, and stolen a quantity of knives,
in highly-wrought handles, some dressing-cases, &c.
Mr. Kennet, a solicitor, conducted the prosecution ; and
Mr. Hobler defended the prisoner.
Mr. Kennet stated that Mr. Mappin occupies the lower
part of the house, No. 14, Fore-street, and the upper part
was let off is the tenant of the adjoining house, who
opened a communication between the two premises, and
closed up the communication between the upper and
lower parts of No. 14. On Saturday morning it was
found that some one had entered the house No. 15, cut
with a centre-bit a large hole through the floor and
ceiling, and dropped into Mr. Mappin's warehouse. The
robbery was effected by some one well acquainted with
the premises, because the hole was cut exactly over the
counter, so that by the aid of a pair of steps the thief
could return with his plunder through the aperture. The
goods stolen were of the value of 1501. or 2001. Sus-
picion fell on the prisoner, because he was occupier of
he house from which the entry was made—Miss Wtleke,
the tenant, being a bankrupt, and the prisoner in pos-
session for the assignees. On searching the prisoner's
house some goods were found which had been stolen
from the bankrupt's stock, and some which were not yet
identified.
Charles Coleshaw deposed to locking Mr. Mappin's
warehouse safe on Friday night, and finding it locked
next morning, but he found a hole in the ceiling, and
that be missed a quantity of the stock.
Sergeant Eaves said that he was called in. He found
no marks of breaking in from without. When the pri-
soner came to the next house he and Mr. Mappin asked
leai'e to go into the room where the flooring had been
out through. The door communicating on the first floor
between the two houses was the only door found locked.
The prisoner said he had not slept there the night before.
He could find no marks of breaking in.
Mrs J. Mappin said be went in with the officers. Ob-
serving the prisoner go down stairs, he followed him,
and saw him put a box of lucifer matches in his pocket,
and feel the contents of all the pockets of a coat that
was hanging up. He then returned up stairs to the officer.
He expressed a readiness to have his premises searched,
but when they started, he hesitated, and said he must
consult his solicitor first. Then again he offered to go
with them, but refused to go home in a cab. He was,
therefore, given into custody.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hobler—No part of the mis-
sing stock was found on him or in his house.
Evidence was then taken as to a second charge.
Mark Bull and Robert Packman, two of the City
policemen, produced some of the property found at the
prisoner's house, and which had been identified by Miss
Wilcke.
Miss Wilcke stated that she left the house, No. 15,
Fore-street, before the assignees sold her stock off. The
prisoner had been resident for some time in the house,
and had access to every part. A boa produced was her
private property. As she had worn it above a month,
e assignees gave it up to her as part of her wearing
apparel. It was hanging up in her bed-room on the 4th
December, and on the 7th she missed it, having removed
in the interim. She identified also a lace cap and some
goods which had formed part of her stock.
Mr. Cattin,g, son of the messenger of the Bankruptcy
Court, said the prisoner was put in possession of Miss
%Viicke's premises, and it was his duty to sleep there.,
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON asked if he was at liberty to
have a friend or two to stay Kith him? Mr. Cutting
said lie might do so. He asked the prisoner what he bad
purchased at the sale of the bankrupt's effects? and he
sail some furniture.
Mr. Hobler cross-examined him to show that it was
the practice of the men in possession to buy at the sales
lots of any sort they could sell to advantage.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said that if he had pur-
chased the goods alleged to be stolen, he might show
that,

Yesterday Mr. Yardley called the attention of our re-
porter to a letter which he had received in the above
case, and which ran as follows :

" Chard, Somerset, Dec. 19, 1846.
"Sir,—Can you find out the name of the Polish noble-
man about whom I wrote to you a few days since? Have
the goodness to take such steps as are necessary to find
his address, and you will oblige
" Your obedient servant, "E. J. BUSSELL."
Mr. YARDLEY expressed his hope that the press would
give publicity to the letter.
THE LATE GARRICK THEATRE.—Owing to the ne-
glect of the proprietors of the Garrick Theatre, Leman-
street, Whitechapel (which was lately burned down), in
enclosing the ruined premises, several cases of petty
theft have been brought before this court within the last
three weeks. A lad named •Jackson was charged with
stealing some lead from the ruins. The case was fully
proved, but his story was a most distressing one.
Though only twelve years of age, he was lately engaged
in a vessel called the Medora, which had sailed some
time since for Marseilles, and having loitered on a
message, he missed the voyage. His father was dead,
and his mother was a poor woman residing at Sunder-
land. He wandered about the streets since losing his
ship, sometimes procuring shelter for the night at
Glasshouse-yard.
Mr. YARDLEY impressively addressed the prisoner,
who was then discharged.

SOUTHWARK.
John Neal and Sophia, his wife, were charged with
having in their possession several glasses and spoons,
supposed to be stolen ; a quantity of pewter in a molten
state was also found upon them, the produce of pub-
licans' pot,.

A ioliceman seeing the prisoners in the Borough
that morning, and suspecting from their appearance that
they had stolen property in their possession, he stopped
them, when he found on the male prisoner the lid of an
old saucepan, full of molten pewter, such as is used in
the manufacture of publicans' pots, and which is also
used in making counterfeit money. On the female he
found two cut ale glasses, a gin glass, and a half-pint
plain ale glass, the names on which had been ground
out. He then took them into custody.
The prisoners gave a most unsatisfactory account of
their possession of the above articles, but in the course
of the inquiry it turned out that the male prisoner was
a hardworking, industrious man, but his wife was given
to habits of int ication, and it was strongly suspected
she had stolen the articles from different public-houses.
The prisoners were then ordered to be remanded for
further inquiries.
Two boys named Sullivan and Smith were charged
pith breaking open a porter store underneath the Green-
wich Railway, and stealing several bottles.
The prisoners were seen in a marine store-dealer's
shop in Bermoudsey-street offering half a dozen bottles
for sale. A policeman took them into custody, and it
was subsequently discovered that the bottles had been
taken from a porter-store in the above locality, the door
of which had been forced open, and a considerable
number of bottles stolen. Evidence was given that the
prisoners were seen in the act of breaking open the store,
and being suspected of committing other robberie3 they
were remanded.

Mr. Cutting said the sale was made by tender, and
' not by the hammer, in this case.
The officers stated that they found a large quantity of
shoes, saddlery, brushes and perfumery, and some keys
to fit Bramah locks, which were suspected to hare been
purloined from different bankrupts' estates.
After some consultation, so as to have but one
further examination before he was discharged or sent
to trial,
The prisoner was remanded till the 31st instant.
A large body of the emigrants discharged from the
Glenelg East ludiaman, recently seized for being
equipped fur a warlike expedition against some country
in amity with Great Britain, presented a memorial com-
plaining that they were starving and that part of their
necessaries were detained on board. They wished to
arouse the public sympathy, for they must perish or re-
sort to crime if they were not assisted.
Mr. Alderman Jokmsoz-T said he had read the account
of their application at the Thames Police-court, and said
they had been engaged in an unlawful undertaking, and
that they would nut avail themselves of three days' no-
tice to leave with what belonged to them. If they had
any ground of complaint against the way in which they
had been treated, they had better present a memorial to
the Secretary of State. He could not assist them in any
14 ay. He supposed they had no right to sue the parties
tri:li whom they contracted, because the transaction was
an illegal one.
The poor fellows retired very quietly. There appeared
to be about fifty of them.

Mrs. Benjamin Caunt, the wife of the pugilistic chain-
* an, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for having
dribbed John Gill.
The complainant said he was a baker living in Cum-
ming-street, I'entonville. On Saturday night week, he
was about leaving Caunt's house, in St. Martin's-lane,
when a demand was made on him for 55., which he ac-
knowledged he was indettsd. He replied, he would pay
tte next time he came to the house, and he thought it
was wrong to be importuned for the small amount, espe-
cially as Ben owed him two guineas. Mrs. Caunt, hear-
ing these words, came out of the bar, and said, "Does
Ben owe you anything? Then I'll pay you this way,"
at the same time letting fly a couple of facers, which
h r severity would have done no discredit to her hus-
tand's powers. The defendant then went into the bar,
and as he was very angry at being assaulted and at find-
ing that his mouth was filled with blood, he used some
rough language to the defendant. Caunt, who was in
the bar, then came round, and saying he would not allow
his wife to be abused, put him out of the house.
Mrs. Caunt did not deny the assault. She had betn
provoked to use her fists in consequence of certain in-
suiting epithets applied to her by the complainant in the
first instance.
A witness was called, who said the complainant made
use of bad language to Mrs. Caunt before she struck.
Mr. Hannwicx said the evidence went to show that
the complainant had provoked the assault by using
language which was almost certain to cause a breach of
the peace. Under the circumstances of the case he
should dismiss the summons.
ORSHIP-STREE T.
James Phillips, a cab-driver, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Broughton, charged with cruelly ill-using a
horse, and Mr. Joseph Meade, a solicitor, in Bedford-
row, was charged with disorderly conduct and inciting a
mob to rescue the other defendant from custody.
Police-constable Wenham, G 63, stated that while on
duty in the City-road, between twelve and one o'clock
that morning, his attention was called by a lady and
gentleman, who had just got out of the defendant's cab
at the corner of Castle-street, to the condition of the
horse in the vehicle, which was totally unfit to be driven,
and which, they stated, the cabman and anotber man had
been incessantly beating for more than a mile, but with-
out being able to make it proceed faster than a walking
pace. On examining the animal, which was a complete
skeleton, trembling all over, and scarcely able to stand,
he found a large wound upon each of its shoulders,
and a third on its back, and he directed another con-
stable to convey it to the greenyard, while he took the
driver to the station-house. They had only gone a few
yards, however, when the other defendant came up in
the company of ~two friends, all of whom were in a
state of intoxication, and authoritatively told him that
he had no business to interfere with the man, as he had
taken his number and might proceed against him by
summons. The defendant then began to press roughly
against him, and advised the cabman not to go with
him, and a large crowd having collected in consequence
of his intemperate language and conduct, he was also
taken into custody.
dPolice-constable G 214 generally corroborated the evi-
ence of the preceding witness as to the wretched condi-
tion of the horse and the wilful obstruction that was
offered them by the defendant Meade.
In answer to the charge, the cabman said that his
master sent him out with the horse, which he admitted
to be in the wretched condition dexvibed by the police,
but he did not discover it until he had taken up the fare.
The other defendant positively denied having used
the language imputed to him, and said it was evident
that the allegation of drunkenness was totally unfounded
from the fact that such a charge had not been entered
upon the police sheet, which it certainly would have been
had there been a shadow of pretence fur it.
The defendant then called Mr. Thomas Geddings, a
druggist, in Oxford-street, and two other witnesses,
who declared that Mr. Meade's interference was per-
fectly inofft naive, and was provoked by the undue harsh.
ness of the officer's conduct in taking the cabman into
custody after he had obtained his master's address ;
and all of them deposed that Mr. Meade was perfectly
sober.

dered that his conduct on the occasion was wholly un-

One Shilling each, by Dost Onn ati4l AixpenNl

(From the London New Price Current of December 22.)
SCGAR. —To-day there was not much desire evinced to
operate in West India for grocery or refining purposes, and
the quantity sold privately amounted to only 138 hhils and
trcs. Merchants, however, were for the most part firm, and
they obtained prices on a par with those of Friday, A pub-
lic sale of 151 hhds and 1 trc of Barbadoes sold at full rates.
REFINID.—To-day Refined Sugar was in excellent request
by the home trade, and prices further advanced—Standard
lumps selling at 64s 6(1 to 655, and brown 63s to 64s per cwt.
For Bonded Crushed Sugar the market is firm at 33s to 33s 6cl
per cwt. This afternoon the market was much better sup-
plied with Mauritius Sugar, the quantity offered at public
sale amounting to 6,412 bags and 26 brls ; the whole sold.
ALLUAITIES.—HoIders have confidence, and refrained again
from offtring any at public sale. By private contract the
demand increased for all descriptions for refining and grocery.
A good business has been transacted, and at prices showing
an advance on those of the last auction of 6d. to Is.
EAST honk—This afternoon two parcels of Bengal Sugar
were offered at public sale, amounting to 1,958 bags, a part
only of which were sold.
MoLatosEs.—The demand has been brisker for West India,
but any improvement in price has been prevented from
taking place by the market having been well supplied with
all descriptions. The private purchases amounted to 400
puns. In common honey large purchases have been made,
and rather higher rates paid.
Franz—The near approach to Christmas and the grocers
having supplied themselves pretty freely of every descrip-
tion, will cause a heaviness until after the holidays; prices of
all sorts are supported.
FOIIEIGN.—The home trade have shown a desire to operate
in all descriptions of Foreign Sugar, and merchants refrain-
ing from largely supplying the market, a farther rise in price
of 6d per cwt took place. There has been a good business
transacted privately, and the parcels offered at auction all
found buy( rs.
COFFEE —This afternoon there was no public sale of any
sort. Privately Native Ceylon was in much better request,
and brought better prices, 47s to 47s 6d per cwt being paid
for good orlinary pale. In Plantation several purchases
were made, and at stiffer rates.
COCOA.—There has been little desire evinced to operate
in the lower qualities cf West India, although there are
sellers rather under previous rates; but good and fine red
sorts are wanted, and command very full prices.
SPIRITS.—For Leeward Island Rum, holders submitting to
rather lower rates, tempted buyers to operate with more free-
dom, and a good business has been transacted. East India
met with little attention, and there are sellers upon rather
lower terms. Strong Demerara is held with firmness, and
purchases to a fair extent have been made. The home and
export orders are small for all descriptions of Jamaica, and
holders are more inclined to sell, the supply being good.
Although the deliveries of Brandy continue upon a large
scale—still no increase occurred in the home or export de-
mand, only small parcels having been sold. Geneva has met
with more attention for exportation, but having a good
supply, common is obtainable at 2s Gd to 2s 7d per gallon,
fine in small parcels fetched 3s to 3s 2d. British Corn Spirits
have been in excellent request.
SPICY/.—Nutmegs have been in excellent request, and
previous improved rates are fully sustained, although the
market has been well supplied. Mace is much in request,
and brings stiff rates. Cloves have been sparingly dealt in,
although there are sellers at previous low rates. For
Black Pepper the demand privately has been good, but
prices do not improve. White Pepper of fine and good quality is wanted, and would bring fair market rates, hut in-
ferior is dull of sale. Pimento met with attention, and buyers
are compelled to pay stiff rates. All sorts of Ginger are
wanted, and buyers have been compelled to pas- stiffer rates.
Cassia Lignea met with little attention, and holders are more
inclined to sell. Cinnamon generally is not to be had on
lower terms. Cassia Buds are still held with firmness.
TEA.—None has again been submitted to public sale,
but by private contract there is a fair quantity on offer of all
descriptions. Duty has been paid on 443,5901b5. at this port
during the pastweek. There has been no improvement in the
demand.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was less in request privately,
and 1,363 bags at auction sold at a fall on the rates of Friday
of 6d per cwt.
SAUSPETRE.—To-day Rough Saltpetre met with attention
privately, and 480 bags of Calcutta at auction were sold at 6d
per cwt advance on last week's rates, and went at ISs to 28s
6d for fine strong grey good colour and cbrystal, 4 per cent.
refraction.
On.s.—Prices have not improved for Linseed Oil, but a
fair business has been transacted on the spot. For forward
delivery there are sellers at 265, but few buyers to be met
with. For Rape Seed Oil a brisk demand sprung up, and
prices have risen. Olive Oil met with ready purchaers, and
an advance in prices took place. Cocoa Nut met with a good
demand, at an advance. Palm has been largely dealt in.
Cod met with ready purchasers. Seal has been in excellent
request, and buyers are compelled to pay higher rates.
Sperm cannot be quoted dearer, but the demand is good.
Lard Oil met with a fair sale
TALLOW.—Extensive purchases have bean made in Rus-
sian on the spot, and further advanced rates are paid. For
delivery in spring months several contracts have been en-
tered into at 52s to 52s 3d per cwt. Home-made has been
largely dealt in, and prices have advanced to 51s and 525.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT
THE SURREY THEATRE.—FRIGHTFUL AC-
CIDENT.
The following extraordinary scene occurred during
Monday night and this morning at the Surrey Theatre,
Blackfriars-road. It appears that Monday night was an-
nounced to be a "grand supplemental night," being
the only day before the Christmas holidays, for the
benefit of one of the principal performers, and as an
extra attraction, numerous additions to the company,
from most of the principal theatres of London, were to
be made for that occasion only. The house at the usual
hour being filled, some very considerable delay occurred
before the rising of the curtain ; and at length the stage-
manager came forward to apologise for the absence of
the principal performer of the first piece, a Mr. Hudson
Kirby, who bad promised to attend at the requisite hour.
Upon the question being put as to whether the audience
would wait, or have a substitution for the character
(Damon, in the tragedy of Damon and P9Mias), a gene-
ral answer was given in favour of the former course,
which nas adopted ; and after the lapse of some time,
the required personage made his appearance, apologised,
and went through his part. The second and third pieces
were also concluded without any interruption, after
which a delay of nearly an hour occurred.
At about half-past twelve o'clock this morning the stage-
manager again made his appearance (amit!, numerous
cries of " More apologies "—" What next, &c.) and
spoke as follows :—" Ladies and gentlemen—What am
I to do. It is now long past the hour of twelve, and up
to this moment I have not been able to learn the cause
of the absence of Mr. John Douglas, who was. to sustain
the principal character in the play of the Sailor's Home.
I have this instant received a communication, an-
nouncine•' that an accident of a very frightful nature
was the cause of Mr. Douglas's (of the Marylebone
theatre) non-appearance. The certificate of the surgeon
by whom he was attended informs me that he was this
morning superintending the production of the forth-
coming pantomime when he fell a distance of upwards
of forty feet, and thereby sustained. some most frightful
injuries. What am Ito do at this late hour ? There
is no humbug in my statement. Here is the certificate,
and you will see the account of the accident in the
newspapers. I should greatly prefer the discontinuance
of the performance, but if you wish it, a gentleman con-
nected with the establishment will undertake the part
for Mr. Douglas.—(Cries of "Yes, yes," "Go on," &c.)
These disappointments of the audience were not
all they were doomed to sustain, for a minute
had scarcely elapsed before the manager again
addressed them in the following terms :—" Ladies
and gentlemen—l have yet further to ask your
indulgence. Mr. Cowle, who was to have enacted
the second principal character of the piece is also absent ;
but, with your permission, a gentleman who has never
appeared on any stage whatever, previous to this even-
ing, will sustain that part, and endeavour to entertain you
to the utmost of his power. Again repeating my most
heartfelt thanks for your kind indulgence, will you ac-
cept our best endeavours, or shall we discontinue for to-
day, for it is now morning." A general cry in favour
of tin it proceeding with the announced play having been
made, it was commenced, and was concluded a little be-
fore two o'clock yesterday morning. The endeavours of
the deletunt, and others sustaining the tragic parts,
during the time, affording to the audience good food for
merriment.

ST. CLEMENT DANES' SAVINGS BANK AND GO-
VERNMENT ANNUITY INSTITUTION.—From the audited
statement recently passed by the trustees and managers
at their annual general meeting, it appears that this
savings bank received during the year ending the 20th
ult., the sum of 37,8971. 3s. 4d. from 8,634 deposits,
exclusive of interest from the Government on their ca-
pital at the National Debt-office. And that upwards of
380,000/, has been paid to Government from this insti-
tution on account of Savings Bank Annuities.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.--On Tuesday afternoon,
about four o'clock, a woman named Young, residing in
Crown-street, was going through the narrow lane lead-
ing from the King's-road to the river, in front of Mr
George Gosling's house, with her milk pail, vthen she
met a heavily-laden corn-waggon having a blind horse
in the shafts, driven by a lad. It is presumed she
attempted to get into the garden gate, but before sh•
reached it the fore wheel of the waggon caught her,
and cruihed Eer between the iron pallisading and the
tire of the wheel; the horizontal bar of the railing was
pressed into her forehead, and the tire of the wheel was
pressing the back part of her skull. So firmly was she
fixed, that no exertion could move her, and to move
the waggon either backwards or forwards must inevitably
have been instant death. Mr. Sumner, of Duke-street,
ran to his yard, and produced a long crow-bar, and
Prised the iron railing from the top of the wheel, and
broke off some four or five feet of the pallisading. The poor woman immediately fell in a gore of blood, and
she was conveyed to the hospital, where she lies in a
frightful condition, with a dreadful contusion of the head
and a serious injury to the spine.--Reading Mercury.
