(Before the COMMoN-SERGEANT and Alderman Sir

,ROmBERy AT THE EARL OF AUCKLAND'S —Anna
smith, a very respectable young female in appearance,
?tall indicted with stealing, on the 30th of November
tit, several articles of jewellery, a minature of the pre-
!eta Earl of Auckland's father, a quantity of lace, and
Indian work, the property of Frances Harriet Eden, the
lister of the present Earl of Auckland.
It appeared from the evidence adduced that the
Prisoner had been in the service of Miss Eden,
Zs her Lady's-maid, and that upon her leaving
'er service, she wont to reside with an old lady
15Sused Neville, at Richmond, and took her boxes
there. Suspicion being excited against the pri-
,uner, her boxes were searched, and the property laid
14 the indictment found in them. That property was
sworn by Mrs. Wright, the housekeeper of the Earl of
Auckland, to belong to Miss Eden.
Mr. CLa.nxsori defended the prisoner, and stated that
she had informed him that the property had been given
to her by Miss Eden. The Learned Counsel remarked
iltrOti on the course adopted by the prosecutor in not
bringing 7 forward Miss Eden, and handed up a letter
413u1 that lady to the prisoner, in which she stated that
,she had no complaints to make against her when she left
‘er service.
Several persons gave the prisoner an excellent cha-
racter.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, observing that
if '1 the prisoner intended to set up the defence that the
Property was given to her by Miss Eden, she ought to
'"e produced that lady in Court to prove the fact.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner, stating that they
thought Miss Eden ought to have been in attendance.
The COMBION SERGEANT—She would have been a
grist goose if she had.
The prisoner was again indicted with stealing 31
towels, the property of the Earl of Derby. This property
Was found in the prisoner's boxes. The housekeeper of
the Earl of Derby proved the towels to be the Earl's
Property, and, stated that Miss Eden was in the habit of
visiting at Knowsley, the seat of the Earl of Derby, and
'Plass& upon one occasion attended by the prisoner. The
()ulcer who took the prisoner into custody stated that
She told him that she had bought the towels eight years
1110 from a person of the name of Fletcher.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the prisoner, in the
course of which he remarked strongly upon the impro-
priety of &judge making the observations the Learned
Common Sergeant had done to the jury in the last
'cue when they had delivered their verdict, especially
when there was another indictment against the prisoner.
Such observations were most improper, and likely to
prejudice the case of any prisoner.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, in the course
of which he stated that he had made the observations
he had done not for the purpose of disparaging the
verdict of the jury, but in order to justify the magistrate
who had committed the prisoner.
The jury, after a long consultation, found the prisoner
Guilty; and,
The COMMON SERGEANT sente,-led her to seven years'
transportation.
The mother of the prisoner, who was in court, upon
besting the sentence, immediately fell into hysterics, and
has carried insensible from the court.

" To Roundell Palmer, Esq., 87cC.

" Killin, Loch Tay, Sept. 15.
" Sir,—Being on a tour in Scotland, I did not receive
your letter of the 9th inst., until after post-timeyesterday.
"I have much pleasure in assuring you that I accept
with thatks your handsome and gentlemanlike retracta-
tion of expressions which I am satisfied you would not
have used except under the influence of a temporary
excitement of feeling, and which from this moment will
be entirely dismissed from my mind.
" As I consider your letter no less honourable to your-
self than satisfactory to me, I shall not hesitate to use

with this reply.—l remain, Sir, your very obedient

A precisely similar letter having been addressed by
Mr. Berkeley to Sir William Clay, the following is Sir
William's answer:—
" have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of yesterday's date, and can have no hesi-
tation in stating to you in reply that I consider it a full
reparation for the observations and expressions to which
it refers.
" I willingly admit that the position in which you
were placed by the decision of the Committee, and the
circumstances under which you spoke when the ob-
servations in question were made, were both of a cha-
racter to produce not unnaturally much excitement of
feeling on your part; and as you now state, with an
explicitness that does you honour, that in your cooler
judgment you regret and disavow the expressions of
which, under the influence of that excitement, you were
tempted to make use, you may rest assured I shall think
of them no more—they will henceforth be to me as if
they had never been uttered.
" I abstain from any remark on the opinion you ex-
press upon the merits of the decision of the Committee,
the rather that I perceive that it is your intention to
bring that decision by petition under the consideration
of the House of Commons; but I may state, without
impropriety, that the result of a review of the whole
case, as brought out in evidence, was to create in the
mind of, I believe, every member of the Committee, re-
gret at the decision which they yet felt—and as I think
rightly felt—they had no alternative but to adopt.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
" W. CLAY."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE:SUN.
Sin,—Having seen in The Sun of yesterday a letter
from the respectable firm of Messrs. Simmonds and Co.,
of Southampton-row, Russell• square, jewellers, impugn-
ing the correctness of the report furnished to you by me,
on Saturday, from Clerkenwell Police-court, I think it
will be no more than justice to all parties to state, that
the report itself is in every respect true, except that the
Mr. S. Simmons, jeweller, who was prosecuted in the
case, does not reside in Southampton-row, but South-
ampton-place, Islington.

CRICKET.

ELEVEN OF ALL lAN LA
ISTAND v. TWENTY OF LEEDS
AND RICT.
Contrary to the general expectation, after the promul-
gation of a letter in the early part of the season, from
the Committee of the " All England Eleven," to the
effect that, under no state of circumstances, would that
body renew their annual " friendly relations" with the
" Men of Leeds," the "Eleven" were, nevertheless, in
spite and in the teeth of their own declaration, found on
the Victoria Ground at that town (as heretofore) on
Monday. Having won the toss they also took the bat
in the first instance, and when their last wicket was
lowered they had run up a score of 117, almost the
largest number they have been able to effect since they
quitted town. At the close of Monday's play the scorer's
paper presented the following appearance:—All Eng-
land, first innings, 117; Leeds, first innings (with six
wickets to go down), 9.

THE HOP-PICKING.—This county is just now suf-
fering its annual Irish invasion ; thousands of shoeless
shirtless, almost clotheless poor creatures have been
swarming about during the past week, either seeking
employment, or besieging the doors of the union-houses
for casual relief. Placards, we understand, are posted
in some parts of London saying that hcp-pickers are
wanted in Kent ; the consequence is there are hundreds
more than can get work. At Farleigh alone we hear
that there are full 500 half-starved creatures whom it will
be impossible to employ. At Coxheath union, on Satur-
day night, there was a mob of from 500 to 800, of all
ages, clamorous for admission, and threatening an entry
by force if denied. The difficulty of providing any sort
of accommodation for such a host of vagrants may be
imagined, and the unavoidable delay enraged them to
such a degree that apprehensions were felt for the result.
A messenger was sent to the barracks at Maidstone, with
information of this state of things, and the troops were
kept in readiness to turn out at a minute's notice. Hap-
pily they were not required. In consequence of the
alarm caused by these circumstances, and also by several
attacks on individuals and plunder of property, applica-
tion was made at a special meeting of the magistrates of
the district, at the Town-hall, Maidstone, yesterday, to
adopt measures for the due protection of the public,
when a number of persons recommended by the parish
officers were sworn in as special constables for the neigh-
bouring parishes.—Maidstone Journal of yesterday.
STATE 05' TRADE.—MANCHESTER.—The remark-
ably fine weather has as yet failed to produce any fa-
vourable reaction in our market. During the week trade
has been remarkably dull, and yesterday no disposition
to operate was manifested on the part of buyers. Fears
are entertained that the season will have passed away
for large shipments to the Continent before confidence is
restored. The feeling generally is more gloomy than
last week. Prices cannot be quoted as quite so firm;
foe some goods lower prices have been taken. The ac-
counts of the forthcoming crop of cotton being so very
favourable, that article has given way in Liverpool. As
a consequence our buyers here were cautious. On the
whole very little business has been done. Spinners are
talking of returning to short time when their present
engagements are completed. The home trade is more
satisfactory than the foreign, and during this month and
next a fair return is looked for. The return of the state
of employment is not so favourable as last week. There
are 513 fewer hands at present in work, a decrees!, of
510 working full time, and of those working short time
57. Last week the total number at work was 41,164;
this week it is only 40,631. Working full time last week
38,539; this week 37,989. Short time last week 2;605;
this week 2,682.
THE ROYAL GENERAL ANNUITY SOClETY.—YeS-
terday evening a meeting of the board of directors of
this institution was held at their offices in Basinghall-
street, City, for general business. The report congratu-
lated the subscribers on the steady progress which was
being made, there being at present ten male and nine-
teen female annuitants; the former receiving 21. 55., and
the latter 11. 10s. per month. These persons comprise
decayed merchants, bankers, professional men, trades-
men, master manufacturers, and their widows, and single
females, daughters of persons of such classes. The
directors also had the pleasure to state that the former
rule, limiting the benefits of this important charity
within twenty miles, was altered, leaving it open to ap-
plicants from all parts of the kingdom. The receipts
for the past year were 1,3961. 3s. 2d.; the expenditure
Taft a balance of only 801.

PENITENT FEMALES REFUGE.—Yesterday the
nineteenth annual meeting of the friends of the above
institution took place at the asylum, Cambridge-heath
Hackney. Mr. J. Dobie in the chair. The secretary
read the report, from which it appeared that the income
of the charity for the past year amounted to 1,4971. 18s.
4d., showing an increase on the previous year of 1451.
Ss. Bd. This addition to their income had enabled the
managers to increase the number ofinmates to the
fullest extent which the size of the present building oc-
cupied by. the charity permitted. They contemplated,
however, either building or purchasing more commodious
premises, and it was stated that a sumof 3004 had been
i
already invested n the funds, which it was intended
to devote to that purpose. The report further
set forth that since the formation of the society 945
females had been admitted, and that in the past year 49
bad been received, who, with 31 leftin the asylum at
the period when the last annual report was
made, make
80 persons who have been on the foundation of the
charity during the last twelve months. Of these 25 had
lost both parents, and 30 had only one parent living ;
and of the entire number only 26 were above 20 years
of age. Of the 80 females who were received into the
house, 14 were placed in situations, 15 were reconciled
and restored to their friends, 2 left at their own request,
1 was dismissed for bad conduct, and 1 died. The report
having been adopted, a committee of management for the
ensuing year, and a ladies visiting committee, were ap-
pointed, and the meeting separated.
premium on gold at Paris
MONEY MARKET.—The
is 10i per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 175. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.41; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25 35, it follows that gold is 0.24 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 k per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 3/. 17 s. laid. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.1(1; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101,
it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in Ilamburgb
than in London.
On Saturday night, the police made a descent into
the tapis-francs, near the environs of the halles, and ar-
rested a great many repris de juslice, and men who could
not give a good account of themselves.—Galignani.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Robert Beadle, a young man belonging to the Wells-
street station of the Fire Brigade, was placed before
Mr. Hardwick, charged with having assaulted Frederick
Marsh, a tin-plate worker, residing in Castle-street
twit.
Complainant stated that on the previous evening he
went into the Ship public-house in Wardour-street,
where the fire occurred on Saturday night. The defen-
dant was on duty there, and witness asked him about the
Are. Defendant refused to answer him, and witness told
he was not doing his duty because he would not
give him an answer. Some other words followed, and
deferiLlant became very abusive, and threatened to put
bin: out of the house. Defendant then took hold of him
by the co;.ts.r and pushed him down on the floor, and
struck him several times. Witness then ran out and
called a constable, and gave him in charge.
Some additional evidence, corroborative of the above
having been produced,
Mr. Braidwood, the chief superintendent of the Fire
Brigade, said, defendant was on duty in the public house.
He was sober, and had borne a very good character
during the time he had been in the brigade.
The accused, in defence said, he was sitting in the
public-house, when the complainant and another man
came in rather the worse for liquor, and immediately
began "chaffing him." He resented the, insult, and
eventually tried to put him out of the house. In doing
•o, complainant struck him, and he then knocked him

SPICES.—There is not much demand for Ginger for
home trade purposes, but export orders come in more
freely. At auction 28 casks and 113 brls of Jamaica
were all sold. Of Black Pepper large parcels have come
to hand lately, and as orders are small sellers are inclined
to accept rather lower rates for all sorts. Of 1,000 bags
Malabar offered at auction, a small part only sold at 2jid
for fair half heavy grey, whilst 1,000 bags Penang were
taken in at 2i-d to 2fd for ord dusty bright grey.
White is in fair request privately at from 4d to 6d per
lb. Of Cassia Lignea the stock is nearly exhausted,
and holders in consequence ask the high rates
of 66a to 76s for low to fine, but very little
desire is shown to do business. Pimento met with more
attention, and realised stiffer rates. For Cloves there
is a brisker sale, prices are firmer; Nutmegs are not
cheaper, although there are arrivals, and buyers ope-
rating with caution. Cinnamon is offered at last sale's
rates, and there are few buyers.
FRUIT.—The value of New Valencia Raisins is still
45s per cwt., but there is not a brisk demand, and arri-
vals continue to get larger. Old Currants are dull of
sale at 34s to 39s per cwt, and there is a fair stock here.
SALTPETRE.—British refined is much wanted at 29s
6d to 30s per cwt, and at which there are not will-
ing sellers. Refiners have many orders on hand, and
there is an enlarged consumption. Holders of rough
show much firmness; and on the part of exporters and
home trade buyers much desire is evinced to operate,
whilst the rates paid are fully equal to those previously
current. For Nitrate of Soda quotations are 12s 6d to
13s per cwt, and only small parcels have been sold.
INDIGO.—For the 14th of October 8,445 chests East
India is now declared. There is firmness in the market;
and a fair home and export demand exists at prices
rather above those of the last quarterly auctions.
Spanish is held for fully last weeks' rates. At auction
140 serons Guatemala were disposed of 2s to 3s 9d for
cortes and Sobres.
OlLS.—Arrivals of Fish Oils are again of little con-
sequence, and as deliveries continue to get larger holders
display firmness, and refrained from submitting any to
public sale since this day week. Seal has been in excel-
lent demand, and prices are looking up. Southern is
much wanted, and better prices are again paid. Cod has
been sold to a fair extent at 231 104 to 241 per tun.
There is greater firmness on the part of holders of
Sperm; buyers also operated with more freedom by pri-
vate treaty, and stiffer rates are paid. None has been
offered at auction and their is an improving consump-
tion Linseed Oil is not much wanted for home trade
purposes, and exporters also operate with less free-
dom; prices are not so firm, and rule at 22s 3d to
22s ficl per cwt on the spot. For forward delivery there
has been only a small amount of business concluded, al-
though sellers are disposed to accept 22s 6d to
22s 9d. There is an active demand for Rapeseed
Oil. In Olive large sales have been made, and
higher rates are paid; the stock is still getting smaller.

demand does not get better, and a small part only of 480
pkgs at auction was sold, 393 6d to 40s 6d per cwt for
good and fine quality. For Palm an active demand has
been experienced, and advanced rates are paid. Lard

vance, fine new P. Y. C. realising 47s 6d per cwt. On
the part of holders there is also much confidence. For
delivery a good business has been concluded for

and some sales /Save-- .7.. • for the early part of 1849
at 48s. There.is an ac •nd for home made, and
prices have risen to 47s •7s 6d for prime melted,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

PERJURY.—The Trial of John Brooks (continued from
our Afternoon Edition of yesterday).
Mr. T. Blanchard Howard swore positively that his
brother came to his warehouse on the 10th of April,
1834, and directed the transfer of the 471. 3s. 6d. to his
account. _ . .

Mrs. Chadwick proved that the debt owed by her
husband was deducted from the purchase money of the
property referred to.
Several most respectable witnesses—Mr. Evil, Mr.
J. K. Welch, Mr. Parker and others—stated that they
had known the defendant for many years, and that they
believed him to be a man of the highest character.
Mr. PARRY replied, and the jury unanimously returned
a verdict of Not Guilty, declaring that they gave
credit to the evidence for the defence, and not for the
prosecution.

NENTAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.

A half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held yesterday afternoon, at the Bridge
House Hotel, London-bridge; M. L. Pritchard, Esq., the
deputy chairman, presiding.
The report stated that the amount received on shares
was 109,242 L, and that the outlay for ships, machinery,
Sze., exclusive of the reserved fund of 610,6191. 25., was
121,771/. 7s. 7d., leaving a balance due on shares of
12,735/. 7s. 7d. The amount of revenue for the last six
months was 10,759/. 195., and the expenditure 7,811/.
13s. 9d., leaving a balance applicable to the dividend of
2,948/. ss. 10d. The directors recommended a dividend
of ss. per share, which would leave a balance of 167/. 15s.
in the hands of the company.
The CHAIRMAN made a few observations upon the
subject of the report, and stated that there was a falling
off, as compared with the previous half-year, of
3,512/. 2s. 6d., but said he hoped, from the tranquility
which was now partly established on the continent, and
the opening of the Great Northern Railway, that brighter
prospects were before them.
The report was then received and adopted, a divi-
dend of five shillings per share declared, and a vote of
thanks passed to the chairman, when the meeting se-
parated.

STRANGE ACCIDENT.—A singular and somewhat
alarming accident occurred at the church of the Holy
Trinity, Bishop's-road, Paddington, on Sunday morning,
during the time of Divine service. By some means or
other, a child fell over the back rails of the gallery, in
the recess of the window, on the bead of a lady below;
but fortunately the violence of the fall was so broken by
the projection of the wall about midway, that neither
party received much damage.
