LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The duty on wheat has ad-
vancrd to 53 per quarter, and on fl air to 3s per barrel.
There is no other change this week in the duties. Since
Tuesday we have had heavy arrivals of grain and flour,
and at yesterday's market there was a large show of
samples. Tne, attendance of millers and dealers was
good, but their operations were moderate, and the prices
of a heat and flour were scarcely so good as on Tuesday.
Choice Philadelphia flour sold at 29s 6d, and Western
Canal 30s to 30s 61 per barrel. Oats declined id per
bushel, and oatmeal 6d per load. Barley, peas, and
beans were unchanged. There was less inquiry for
Indian corn yesterday than for several market days, and

after, have receded to its per bushel ; new rye 5s to
5s 6d per bushel.
At Stourbridge market yesterday business was brisk,
and last quotations were fully supported. The demand
for barley was on the increase, and may he quoted at is
per quarter higher. Oats also inquired after, and beans
in request at former rates.
Stratford-on-Avon market yesterday was well at-
tended, and the supply of most descriptions of grain was
moderate. Old English wheat sold at the rates of that
day se'nnight, more money was in some instances asked,
but in few transactions was it obtained. Barley and other
grain remained as before.
Wolverhampton market was well supplied, and wheat
firmly maintained its price, but without any advance.
Inferior descriptions of wheat slow of sale.
COLCHESTER, Ocr. 28.—1 n all the markets in this
district of the kingdom during the week prices have
been firm, and in some cases there has been an advance.
In our market to-day the supply was not large, as the
morning being fine the farmers were anxious to take
advantage of it to proceed with wheat sowing, which has
been greatly retarded by the weather, and former rates
were well supported. The best white wheat was 575;
red 44s to 48s. At Chelmsford yesterday. there was a
large supply, but in general the condition was bad.
White wheat, 54s to 603; red 45s to 545. At Bury
barley of all kinds was dearer. Good old oats met with
a ready sale. At Woodbridge wheat and barley were
advanced is per quarter. At Stowmarket the trade was
better for good samples of wheat, but the great bulk was
in bad condition.
MANCHESTER, OCT. 28. During the week an inani-
mate feeling has prevailed throughout the trade, and for
secondary qualities of oatmeal and flour lower prices
were submitted to; the value of choice descriptions was
maintained. The imports, foreign and lush, ara on a
liberal scale. At our market this morning no material
change in wheat can be noted, and we repeat the quo-
tations of this day se'nnight. Tho scarcity of extra su-

In the reign of King George 11., several ponds in
Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park were united into
one continuous pool, and called the Serpentine. At
the Bayswater extremity a stream descending from
the Highgate and Hampstead hills flowed into it, thus
giving its name (Bayswater) to the suburbs of which
it now forms the main sewer. The Serpentine,
besides its natural springs, also received the overplus
of certain reservoirs, of which one was situated where
Trinity Church now stands. Winding its way to
what is now called Albert-gate, the Serpentine left
Hyde-park, and at last emptied itself into the Thames,
so that however we may dignify this water by the
name of river, it was then de facto, and is now de jure,
part and portion of the Ranelagh sewer. Until
1834 it received the filth of a large district, when
the complaints of an increasing population became
so loud that a collateral sewer was made under
the Bayswater-road, to divert from the Serpentine
the refuse of a town ; but the sewer into which
it was diverted not being calculated to carry
off this increase of filth, a communication was left
between the sewer and the Serpentine under the
gothic bridge. About a year since the effluvia from
under the arches of this bridge were so offensive, that,
to satisfy the just complaints of the inhabitants,
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests closed
the arches with wooden gates, which commonly
remain shut, but are opened after heavy rains
to allow the overplus of the sewer to empty
itself in the Serpentine. About 1820 the water-
fall was made, and it acted very creditably till
1834, when the Serpentine ceased to receive its ac-
customed tribute from the Bayswater sewer. To
make up for the deficiency in the supply of water,
consequent upon this circumstance, Government con-
tracted with the Chelsea Waterworks Company, to
throw into the pond in front of Kensington Palace a
certain quantity of water, which is conducted by pipes
to the top of a strange kind of dumb waiter, and after-
wards dribbles down in just sufficient quantity to dis-
' turb the mass of filth by which it is surrounded. The
Serpentine loses its supplies lay the constant evapora-
tion from its surface, and by the immense quantity of

Welter Gilbert, commanding the Sirhind Divisive.

[AnvEaTrsEmENT.]---Bovrel Complaints and Cho-
lera do not always arise from foulness without the sys-
tem; if the liver be in a sluggish state, or if the diges-
tive functions be improperly performed irritation of the
bowels is sure to ensue; and if the blood be not properly
decarbonized, in consequence of the lungs being ob-
structed
by impurities, that vital fluid passes through
the system
charged with a disease engendering principle.
The Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye,
Esq., of Dalton-hall, near Iluddersfield, have become
celebrated throughout the world as the most effica-
cious medicine ever discovered for ridding the system of
all impurities, for opening obstructions, for removing
acrimonious and redundant bile (the chief cause of cho-
lera), and for causing the fluids to flow in a healthy and
natural order. At the same time, these Pills strengthen
the stomach, aid digestion, and renovate the whole sys-
tem. None are genuine unless Mr. Itaye's coat-of-arms,

BRISTOL SUGAR MAIIKET, OCT. 27.—0n1y a li-
mited business has been transacted in our market this
week, chiefly, however, for the want of a supply, as the
demand is good, particularly for refining descriptions ;
prices are about the same as at the date of our last re-
port. The refined market is dull,—Bristol Mercury.
ACCIDINT TO SIR BENJAMIN HALL —We are
sorry to hear that the reason Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart.,
was unable to attend the great Bardic gathering at
Llanover was that he had a fall from his horse when
riding over his Grouse Moors, in Aberdeenshire, and he
has since been confined to his house under medical care.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT, Oct. 28.
A TRAGEDIAN IN A NEW CHARACTER.-BEECH V. DENVIL

This was an action to recover the sum of 101. for
board and lodging. The defendant is the well-known
actor who has for some years past enjoyed a tolerable
share of popularity at some of the best minor theatres,
and who, under Mr. Bunn's auspices, made what was
considered at the time a successful appearance at Drury-
lane, in the character of Shylock, and afterwards in Lord
Byron's tragedy of Manfred.
The plaintiff stated that the debt had been contracted
a considerable time, and that the defendant had had an
ample opportunity of paying it, having taken a benefit
at the Woolwich Theatre, by which no netted nearly 401.
His HoNouß said, under those circumstances, much
as he regretted it, he had no alternative but to make
an order for the defendant's commitment for fourteen days.
The defendant, who was absent, subsequently applied to
his Honour for some indulgence.
His HoNouß regretted that he had no power to
rescind his judgment; and the defendant, who made no
reply, was placed in the custody of one of the officers of
the court, from whence, being unable to raise the
money, he was, at the rising of the Court, conducted
to durance vile.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(The trial of Mullins concluded from our Afternoon
Edition of Saturday.)
Several other witnesses were called and examined, for
the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by the
informer Barrett, but they did not shake his testimony
in any material degree. The evidence given
by these witnesses was a recapitulation of
that which they gave on the trials of
Dowling, Fay, Cuffey, and others at the last session.
Similar testimony was also given for the purpose of cast-
ing suspicion upon the evidence given by the approver
Powell, and showing that he was not to be believed on
his oath, but the testimony of Powell was not shaken in
any important circumstance.
This closed the case on behalf of the prisoner.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied at some length
upon the evidence that had been adduced on behalf of
the prisoner,
The Court then adjourned for half an hour, and upon
its resumption,
Mr. Justice MAIILE, at two o'clock, proceeded to sum
up the case to the jury, and concluded at three o'clock.
The jury retired, and after an absence of an hour and
a half, returned into court with a verdict of. Guilty, but
strongly recommended him to mercy.
Several witnesses gave favourable evidence with re-
spect to the prisoner's former character.
_ . _ _ ..._

Mr. Justice MAITLE postponed passing sentence till
Monday morning.
The Court then adjourned.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. BuLLocx.)
John Jackson, 22, William Warren, 22, described as
tailors, and Mary Bwrroess, 23, spinster, were indicted,
Jackson for stealing 90 gold pencil. cases and other pro-
perty, valued at It:ICC the property of John Sheldon,
and Warren and Burrows with receiving the same,
knowing it to have been stolen.
The prosecutor, a manufacturer of pencil-cases from
the country, stated that about the middle of September
he arrived in London, bringing with him the property
in question, which were patterns to show his town cus-
tomers, and requiring to take them round with him in
his calls he engaged the prisoner Jackson (of whom he
hid received a satisfactory character) to carry the bag
and case containing the property. The prisoner re-
mained with hist for several days and conducted himself
very properly. On the 25th of September the prose-
cutor, in the course of his rounds, had to call upon a cus-
tomer who occupied the upper part of a house in
the Strand. He accordingly went there, accom-
panied by the prisoner, whom ho left in the
passage with the property, and proceeded up
stairs, where he remained for about a quarter
of an hour, and on his coming down he found that the
prisoner had absconded with the case and bag. Ho im-
mediately proceeded to the police-station and gave in-
formation, and the result was, that in less than three
hours the woman Burrows was apprehended trying to
sell one of the pencil-cases, a part of his property; he
subsequently saw the remainder in the possession of the
police.

The rest of the ev'dence went to prove that the woman
had pawned one of the pencil-cases within two hours of
.he commission of the offence. When at the station she
gave a false address, but Sergeant Loom soon succeeded
in discovering that she residt,d at a brothel in York •
street, Westminster, and upon going there found the
prosecutor's case and bag under the bed, the property
having been taken out and hidden between the mattrass
and the sacking of the bedstead, and the whole of the
property, with th, exception of 34 worth, was recovered.
The prisoner Jackson managed to escape apprehension
until hit Saturday fortnight, when the sergeant, learn-
ing that he frequented the Yorkshire Stingo, went there
and apprehended him. Warren was with him, and he
•aid, " You may as well have my pal," pointing to him.
Warren immediately ran off, but was pursued and cap-
tured.

-although tripped up-by him;dragged hinitOThe giourid,
and detained him there till he was surrounded *rend
all chance of escape. Up to the moment of bis appre-
hension he had not got out of sight of the policeman
who first saw him drop the goods.
The policeman produced the clock, and the clothes
which the prisoner had thrown down, and also son;) ar-
ticles which were found in the prisoner's pockets t the
station-house.

The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the
witnesses any question ? The prisoner—No, my Lord.
All they say is right, except one thing. They forgot to
say that I showed them the two men who gave ne the
things to carry for them.
William Wheatley, clerk to Mr. Wadham, cif 36,
Upper Thames-street, said that he closed the counting-
house before 7 o'clock on Friday evening, and took the
key with him. The clock, and all the other property,
were then safe on the premises. In the morning, how-
ever, he found that the counting-house had been entered
and that the clock and other goods belonging to his em-
ployer had been removed. Mr. Wadham's desk had
also been opened. He believed the entrance had been
effected with skeleton keys. He did nut knon% the
prisoner.
The prisoner said he was going home quietly, when
two gentlemen stopped him, and offered him a crown to
carry the load. He did so until the policeman walked up
to him and questioned him about the goods. He then
observed that the two gentlemen who had given him the
job were running, and it occurred to him that it waf n't
all right, whereupon he threw down the goods and ran
after the fellows who bad got him into such a hobble.—
(Laughter.)—The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday.
William Thompson, a well-known imposter, was then
brought up.
The prisoner was seen importuning gentlemen for
charity, accompanied by a man who possesses the' ex-
traordinary knack of appearing to be stone blind, al-
though with eyes wide open. Ho was telling a story
about the poor afflicted object whom he was leading
along, when a policeman took hold of him. The blind
man was immediately touched by the miraculous agency
of the terror of Bridewell, and away he ran, and was
soon out of light, leaving the prisoner, whose legs were
bandaged so as to appear diseased, to answer for the sins
of both.

A woman lodging near where Burrows resided de-
posed to seeing Warren enter the house on the afternoon
in question, with a bag, and followed by Jackson carry-
ing the case. Warren was also proved to have offered
one of the pencil-cases for sale, and was a known bad
character.

The jury found them all Guilty, and they were sen-
tenced to seven years' transportation.
Ann Keen, a smartly attired young woman, deecrihed
in the calendar as a widow, was indicted for stealing a
watch valued at 101., the property of the Rev: William
Henry Wa3ne, in the dwelling-house of Henry Lowe.
Mr. Charneek prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended.
The facts of the case were proved to be these:—The
prosecutor, who resides at Much Wenlock, in Slirc;n
shire, being in town last July, went to lodge at No. 14,
Surrey-street, Strand, it being a b etrding-house kept
by the master of the prisoner. The watch in question
had been safe in his portmanteau previously to the rev.
,zeileh.man's !caving,_ which took place on the 19th of
that month. On his return home, having occasion for
his wateli,.:. he opened his portmanteau and discovered
that it had been abstracted. He immediately wrote to
town, and subsequently a Captain Foskett came to town
about it. It was prisoner's duty to wait upon the lady of
the house; and when Mrs. Lowe received the letter the
prisoner was interrogated about it, when she declared
she bad no knowledge of the robbery, and wished them
to believe that it was one of the boarders, whom she
mentioned, that had taken it. Mrs. Lowe not having
any suspicions of the prisoner she remained in the ser-
vice until the present month, when Mrs. Lowe having
lost a ring, and another of the boarders a valuable fur
tippet, she was taxed with the theft, and a policeman
being sent for, he proceeded to 12, Neville's-court, Fetter-
lane, where she used to go, and there, in a box which
belonged to her, and was locked, he found the watch,
and alsu two rings belonging to Mrs. Lowe, together
with the fur tippet. When charged before the magis-
trate the prisoner made a long statement, to the effect
that her mistress had committed the robbery, giving
hei the watch to take care of, and finding she was likely
to be detected, her mistress wished to fix the guilt
upon her.
Mr. PARNELL said there was no foundation for such a
statement, but begged the jury to look mercifully into
the case, as it was not the case of a common thief, the
prisoner having never attempted to dispose of the pro-
perty, although with ample opportunity of so doing.
The jury found her Guilty, with a recommendation to
mercy.
Mr. BULLOCK said the case was a very bad one, and
transported the prisoner for seven years.

The prisoner declared that it was quite a mistake in
the officer to say he had been begging; and as for the
blind man he never had seen him before.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday, William Lcgg, a young man, stated to be
a butler in a gentleman's family, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, in the custody of Michael Deady, an officer
of the police, upon the charge of having married Dinah
Squire Rowe, his former wile being alive.
The prosecutrix was evidently in extreme distress of
mind, and was obliged to sit during her examination.
She said she had known the prisoner about eighteen
months, and was married to him at the district church of
All Saints, Lambeth, eight months ago. He told her
that he was a bachelor, and she had lived with him as his
wife till Wednesday last, when she was informed that
he had another wife. There was no doubt at a!I of the
truth of the accusation, as the woman the prisoner was
first married to was ready to come forward.
The brother of the prosecutrix stated that the first
wife of the prisoner resided near Southampton, and had
had three children by him. She had been represented to
witness as a woman of excellent character. Witness
understood that the prisoner had lately kept a small
shop in Leadenhall-street, and that ho had previously
been a gentleman's servant.
The prisoner said he had noting to state as to the of-
fence with which ho had been charged, but if it was the
Lord Mayor's intention to send him to prison what was
he to do about a gentleman's house in Leadenhall•street,
in charge of which he had been left, and which was, he
believed, likely to be taken on Monday ?
The LORD MAYOR said the officers would take care
that no mischief should take place on the premises.
Deady said, the prisoner stated that he had pro-
perty upon the premises, and that he wished to got it
away.
Mr. Goodman (the Lord Mayor's chief clerk), said
that no order could be made with respect to the property
as bigamy was a felony, and in cases of felony there was
a forfeiture of all goods of the delinquent.
The prisoner—Mr.• Rowe, the brother of my accuser;
wanted me to give him up some property which I have,
and I believe it I had agreed to that there would be very
little said about the matter. _

The LORD MAYOR—Why you know that we aro well
acquainted with your tricks. How often have you been
here? The prisoner—l have altered that sort of life,
my -Lord, I do assure you. It's no gammon, your Lord-
ship. My leg is bad, and no mistake. Let the doctor
look at it.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, if your leg is in a bad
state the doctor shall cure.it in Bridewell.

The prisoner was then remanded.
Matthew Reilly was charged with having committed a
burglary in the house of Mr. Wadham, paper agent, at
36, Upper Thames-street.
The prisoner was seen by a policeman, at a little be-
fore two o'clock in the morning, crossing Old Fish-
street-hill. He had a heavy bundle under his arm and
seemed to be shifting it about suspiciously. Upon being
asked by the policemen what he was carrying, he said,
" His own property;" but finding that his veracity was
doubted, be threw down his burden, a large clock, and
a bundle of clothes, and took to his heels in earnest. Tho
cry of " Stop thiet 1" was instantly raised, and he joined
in it with wonderful zeal, increasing in vociferation as
he ran along. The trick would have deceived a new-
fledged policeman, but as the prisoner was flying across
Watling-street, an experienced tactician of the force,
who would not be gulled by it, seized him. His trick
only enabled him to slip through the hands of one dan-
gerous customer into those of another. Along he
scampered, with the cry of "Stop thief!" behind him
and at each side of him, while he bellowed out, " There
he is! Stop him—stop him, he has robbed me!" At
last his race was completely run, for on turning a corner
he ran into the embraces of another of the force, who,

The prisoner—I hope you won't send me there this
time. Let me off now, and I'll never come into the city
again, either with the lame or the blind.
The LORD MAYOR—No; you must go to Bridewell.
If you are not fit to be put to hard labour you shall be
excused; but if you are, you shall go to work at once.—
Committed.
