ROBBERY AT KINGSGATE-STREET COURT OF RE-
QuEsTs.—On Saturday information was circulated thoughout
the Metropolitan and City police, that during the night of
Tuesday last some thief or thieves stole from the above court
about 41. in silver, and about ss. in copper. The thieves were,
no doubt, from the smallness of the sum thus obtained,
greatly disappointed in their hope of plunder.
THE CORN MARKETS.—It is worthy of remark that
at the Wakefield corn market on. Friday, the prices of all
kinds of grain advanced. Already the farmers, factors, and
millers see the emptiness of the fears which have so long
haunted them in regard to the effect.of opening the ports.—

On Saturday Inspector Collier, of the P duc,„„! , a

person named Munton, charged with cutting 11 '' ars
throat, present, he felt it to be his duty to inenti°n.d °I
cumstance of a distressing character, which ocOrlacte'
the evening before, and which was intimately CO tlo.l'
with that extraordinary case. The inspector sleteesia
on Murton's examination before Mr. Henry, tee l'l-,
pal witness against him was Mrs. Susan Vesejels
mother-in-law, who lived in his house. Mrs. Vc6 beg.-'
her examination before Mr. Henry, stated that, °I/rOOl,

'and, on reaching the bottom of the stairs, fhe esti!,

by her side, and her person, as well as the floor, °
with blood. She instantly exclaimed, "Who 'red, If
