(REVIEW OF THE BiIITISH CORN
TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK.
A vast quantity of rain has fallen during the week,
and present appearances indicate a further fall. The
land has been too wet to admit of its being advanta-
geously worked, and out-door operations must there
fore for the present be suspended. The lifting of
the potato crop is likely also to be interrupted ;
and it is more than probable that those in the grount
not destroyed by the murrain will be injured by the
wet. The accounts respecting the yield of the main crop
of potatoes, where digging has been finished, repre-
sent the failure to be quite as. serious as had been pre-
viously apprehended; and, from all we have been enabled
to learn on the subject, we are inclined to think that
the produce will fall short of half the usual quantity.
How so great a deficiency of food is to be met
under existing circumstances is a startling question.
Presuming that we have a full average of wheat—
a deduction which many are disposed to dispute—
how are we situated in respect to other grain ?
Barley, Oats, and Rye are admitted, on all hands.
to have fallen materially short in consequence of
the extreme heat and drought experienced during the
summer months, whilst beans and peas have given a
still worse return. Nor had we any stocks of im-
portance of old grain at the time .of harvest, and the
new crops were commenced upon almost as soon as
gathered. It is, therefore, self-evident that a very large
importation will be required ; and from whence are we
to draw the requisite supply ? Much has been said
about the immense resources of America, and state-
ments have been published to show that the last
harvest has been unprecedentedly great in the United
States. We much fear that these statistical tables
are not to be received with implicit faith; indeed com-
mon sense must point out that what is found difficult of
attainment here, viz., to procure anything like a cor-
rect estimate of the result of the crops, must be al-
most impossible in such a country as America.
Here, on a comparatively limited surface, with every
country ,and parish accurately mapped down, we an
unable to show how many quarters of grain have been
grown; whilst in the United States, with no defined
limits—at least to the west—with immense tracts of
land thinly populated, and the means of communication
far more difficult than at home, it is pretended to
give the produce of each particular crop to a bushel
before the corn is off the ground. Such returns must
necessarily be loose and unsatisfactory ; and we cannot,
therefore, take them as a basis on which to ground a
calculation as to what quantity of grain the Americans
may be in a position to furnish us with. A far more safe
criterion will, in our opinion, be afforded by referring hauls
to the tables of exports in previous seasons. On examin-
ing these we find that the average shipment from the
-United States for 13 consecutive years has been 997,771
brls. of flour, of which four-fifths have invariably gone
to the British, West Indian, Cuba, Newfoundland, and the
South Am-rican markets. Admitting that in conse-
quence of tine superior yield of the last year's crop, and
the impetus given to trade by the alteration in our
corn-laws, the States may be enabled somewhat to
exceed that quantity, still it is clear that, with a deficient
harvest in many countries in Europe besides Great Bri-
tain, the supplies from the other side of the Atlantic
can scarcely be expected to satisfy our wants. This
is a reasonable conclusion, and we cannot agree with
those who can see no danger in our position. It is far
from our wish to create needless alarm, but we must
confess that we view the prospects for the approaching
winter with some apprehension, more particularly as re-
gards Ireland. The wealth and resources of Great
Britain will, we doubt not, enable her to secure a suffi-
ciency of food for the consumption of the inhabitants ;
but to succeed in this it will be necessary to pay high
prices : and, important as has been the rise in the value
of wheat within the last . two months, we question
whether the highest point has yet been touched. The
trade has, nevertheless, been much less animated
this than the preceding week, and it is not impro-
bable that a temporary check may be given to the up-
ward tendency. The millers have latterly bought pretty
freely, and they are likely to conduct their operations
cautiously until a portion of that which they have now
on hand shall have passed into consumption. Mean-
while the farmers continue to bring forward good sup-
plies ; and as the condition of the new must ere long be
effected by the change in the weather, a slight re-action
in prices may perhaps take place.
The arrival of wheat coastwise into London has
amounted to 8,242 quarters up to this (Saturday) even-
ing. The greater part of the supply is from Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire ; and most of the
cargoes from the east coast have gone direct to the
millers without appearing at -Mark-lane for sale.
Their immediate wants having been thus provided for,
they have had the less occasion to purchase on the spot;
and the business done has, consequently, been rather
circumscribed. The few runs of wheat exhibited on
Wednesday on the Essex and Kent stands moved off
somewhat tardily, at the prices of Monday last ; and,
moderate as was the quantity on sale, a portion remained
unclisposed of. Later in the week the inquiry rather
improved, but factors found it impossible on Friday to
establish any advance on previous prices. Holders of free
foreign wheat have manifested no anxiety to realise, and
so far from any disposition having been evinced to
accept less money, the contrary has been the case ; and
fine qualities, such as high-mixed Dantzic and the
beat descriptions of Lower Baltic red, were actually
held at rather higher terms at the close than at the be-
ginning of the week. This may in some measure ac-
count for the very cautious manner in which the millers
have conducted their operations ; and as the market has
not been attended by many country buyers ate.. Mon-
day, the transactions have be9n on a restricted
scale. Wheat in bond has met with some atten-
tion ; but the article having been hsld at prices
scarcely 4s. per quarter below those at which free
might hare been bought, there has been no induce-
ment to speculate. Some further orders have come to
hand from France ; the limits have, however, been too
low to admit of their execution, and we have heard of
no bargains being,closed. During the week 3,705 quer-
ti rs of wheat have beets received from abroad, the grea or
part from America. The duty fell (as was expected) to
7s. per quarter on Thursday, and will continue to recede
step by step to the minimum point. The last return fur
the kingdom (545.) shows an advance, as compared with
that for the preceding week, of I Id. per quarter ; and
the London average published on Friday (Gls. 4d.) was
Is. 2d. per quarter higher.
The metropolitan bakers have bought flour more
cautiously, and have shown a determination to work up
their stocks closely before they consent to pay the ad-
vanced rates demanded by millers. The top price of
town-made flour is now 60s. per sack, and good Norfolk
households have been held at 50s. in the river ; whilst
for NI? brands of American 355. to 365. per barrel, duty
paid, has been demand,-l.
The arrival of barley has not been large, and the en-
hancement of Monday last has been well maintained. Su-
perior malting qualities have been placed without diffi-
culty at 445. per qr., but to succeed in the disposal of the
secondary sorts (of which the bulk of the supply has
consisted) it has been necessary to accept comparatively
low terms. Grinding parcels have, on the other hand,
been in fair request ; and for good sweet qualities of the
latter very full prices have been obtained.
Choice samples of malt have met a ready sale at the
late advance ; and though the inquiry for the inferior
kinds has not been lively, Monday's quotations have
been firmly supported. .
Besides 3,073 qrs. of oats from our own coast, 740 qrs.
have been received from Scotland, 4,171 qrs. from Ire-
land, and 7,058 qrs. from abroad, making together a fair
supply. The factors being, however, fully aware that
the stocks in the hands of the dealers are inconsiderable,
,un and a feelingiler

Under these circumstances the trade has been far from
animated, still needy buyers heist had to pay full terms
for good corn.
The few parcels of English beans which have come to
hand have been taken at the enhanced terms of Monday
last. In foreign beans, on the spot, there has not been
much doing; Egyptians have, however, been held firmly
at 38s. to 395. per qr. Floating cargoes have been in-
quired for, but the prices demanded have been so high
as to check business.
Peas have met with very little attention since our
last ; and though the quantity brought forward has been
trifling in the extreme, the value of white boilers has
rather tended downwards, and even hog peas have
moved off slowly at former terms.
Indian corn, in granary, has sold in retail at high
rates ; and cargoes on passage have bean sought after
by buyers from Ireland. The free-on-board sales have
been rather considerable, and in some cases prices have
been paid nut previously obtainable.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
We have had two or three arrivals from America
this week, the latest bringing New York advices to
the 19th of September, and accounts from other
parts of the United States of corresponding dates.
From New York we learn that the advance which
had been established in flour some few days before,
in consequence of the news from England,
had been well maintained, and that some rather larg4
pus chases of the article had been made at prices vary-
ing 4d. 50c. to 4d. 75c. per brl. The stocks on the spot
were then quite inconsiderable, and it was not expected
that the arrivals from the interior would be very large
till the spring of the year ; it is probable, therefore,
that the next advices from the other side of the Atlantis
will iiform us of a further important rise in quotations
Owing to the boisterous state of the weather during the
greater part of the week, our usual advices from the north
of Europe had not come to hand up to a late hour this after-
noon. The latest account:, therefore, which we have from
l)antzic only reach to the 29th of September. The English
ad vices of the 22d and 23J ult. had caused much excitement
there, and for the best qualities of high-mixed Wheat prices
had risen to 555. to 57e. per qr. free on board; whilst for
secondary sorts from 50: to 535. per qr. had been paid.
Within a day or two at least 5,000 qrs. had changed
hands. All other kinds of grain had been held at ma-
terially enhanced terms, say malting barley at 40s. to
445., and boiling peas at 40s. to 41s. per qr.; but there
had been very little doing in either of the last-named
articles.

From the Lower Baltic ports the accounts are of a
similar character ; and it is abundantly evident that to
.secure supplies from the northern countries of Europe
we shall have to pay very high prices.
From Hamburg we have letters of the 2d inst. Spring
corn appears to have excited more attention at that port
than wheat, but for moderately good qualities of red
marks 51s. to 525. per quarter, free on board, had been
firmly insisted on. The inquiry for barley had been
active, but owing to the extravagant prices asked (say
335. per quarter for good Seale), Jew bargains had been
closed. Oats, to be shipped from Denmark, had sold
:reely at 21s. to 21s. 9d- per quarter free on board, weight
per bushel varying from 37i lbs. to 39 lbs.
In Holland wheat seems also to have further risen in
value ; and we learn from Rotterdam that, on the 6th
instant, good qualities of white were worth 58s. to 61s.
per quarter. These rates, it will be remarked, do not
admit of shipments being made from hence with a

rosp.-,et of profit, but they are sufficiently high to
rust, the Baltic shippers to give the Dutch markets a
reference.

From the Mediterranean the reports are of much the
game character as before; prices of both :heat and
Indian corn were rapidly rit.ing at all the trading ports,
'wing as -much to the fear of kcal dibtress in come-
(pence of the scarcity of provisions as to the exciting
nature of the English edvices.

Since writing the above, the Elan,burgh mail of Tues-
day has arrived, bringing advices of corresponding dates
from the Baltic, by which it appears that a further ad-
vance has taken place in the price of wheat at all the
principal markets.—Mark•lane Express.

DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE
COTTON-MILL.
ASIITON-UNDER-LYNE, OCT. 11.--During the night of
SAturday and Sunday morning the town of Staleybridge
was thrown into the greatestconsternation and alarm, in
consequence of a report that the extensive cotton-mill of
Messrs. W. Bayley and Brothers, whose firm employs
upwards of 1,000 persons, was on fire. The report was
also speedily circulated in Ashton, from which town,
about a mile and a quarter distant, many persons went at
midnight to view the scene of destruction.
On our arriving at the spot we found that the fire had
broken out in the second story of the large warehouse
adjoining the factory, in which was from 9,000 to 10,000
pieces of calico, besides a large quantity of twist, waste,
&e. The fire was first observed about 11:o'clock, r.as., by
the watchman connected with the mill, who but a few
minutes before had removed what is termed the watch peg
attached to the clock, this being done every half hour to
Show that he was not neglecting his duty. The peg was
shifted about half-past ten, and although the clock is
placed in the building where the fire originated, be at
that time did not perceive the least symptom
of fire ; shortly after, however, he noticed a light in the
warehouse, and on examination found that that part of
it in which the waste is kept was all in a blaze. Ile im-
mediately gave an alarm, the fire bell was rung, the
people got up out of their beds, and in the course of a
short time thousands of persons were congregated in the
factory yard and around the building. Two of the town
fire-engines were speedily on the spot, along with a num-
her of firemen, but such was the throng and confusion
that it was some time before they could be got into play.
The pipes from the Dukinfield Waterworks were also
fixed, but the pressure not being sufficient, it was some
time before they were of much service. The desire of
all present seemed to be to render assistance, but this
tended much to hinder those whose services in reality
would have been of some effect. Mr. nickey, superinten-
dent of police, with the few officers he has at his com-
mand, after a time succeeded in keeping the people back,
when a number of men entered the building, and al-
though in much danger from the falling materials, they
carried out a goodly number of the burning pieces, and
threw them into the yard, which, although of, con-
siderable extent, was strewn with the burnt goods
in every direction. Such was the rapidity of the fire,
that the building, which is three stories high, and seven
windows in letgth, was, in the course of about two hours
from the time of the fire being, found out, completely
gutted, the whale of the interior being destroyed. Near
to the warehotso was placed about twenty hogsheads of

oil, which were expected to have taken fire ; fortunately
mill. It frequently happened
dimthhieffittenytetuwalfterlsor'trong wooden passage or bridge leading from
the warehouseinto the factory was enveloped in flames.
This fixture tie firemen endeavoured to cut down, but
finding it impacticable they gave up the attempt, and
kept pouring a contintal stream of water upon it, which
had the desired effect. To the left of the warehouse
stands, within a few yards, the cotton-mill of Messrs.
Thackreys. Ttis mill was also' considered to be in much
danger. Thej,, however, took the precaution to place
a number of men on the top of the mill during the night,
each being supplied with a large buoket of water. Their
services, however, were not, brought into requisition.
It is generally surposed that the fire must have
originated fron spontaneous combuston, although every
precaution was taken by the firm to exclude any greasy
or oily waste from that taken into the warehouse, a
separate placein the yard being appointed to receive all
waste of that description. The whole of the 10,000
pieces, together with every other article, was destroyed.
save the burning remnants of the cloth, which was carried
out by the men who daringly ventured their lives for
the purpose. We believe no person was very seriously
injured, which is somewhat surprising when we consider
the manner is which some conducted themselves. The
estimated damage of the stock is 2,500 L, which, with the
destruction of the building, will be between 3,0001. and

this amount. It is gratifying to state that the hands
sc
(with the exception of a few) will be able to commence
work on Monday. During the whole of Sunday the
place was visited by many thousand persons, who came
from a distance to view the ruins.

POST-OFFICE IMPROVEMENTS.
The 10th iast., being what is known as the official
quarter in most of the public departments, the altera-
tions which are said to have been in progress for some
time in the general Post-office, with reference to the
classification and salaries of the sub-sorters and letter-
carriers, were expected to have been so far matured as
to come into operation from and after the above-named
period. It is in those two multitudinous branches of the
establishment, viz., the sub-sortera and letter-carriers
department, where the greatest diKeontent has pre-
vailed, where the prospects have been disheartentug, eau
where justice, or aught like a fair and equitable remu-
neration for toilsome duties performed have been so
long withheld. According to a return of the names.
salaries, &c., of all persons employed in the General
Post-office, ordered some time ago by the House of
Commons, it appears, that the maximum amount of
salary, which the sub-sorter can—it may be after forty
or fifty years' servicos—attain, is 1101. per annum ; nor
may he even reach this, upon the average, until after a
service of twenty-five years. By the new scale, which
is now said to have been determined upon, and which is,
in one respect at least, an improvement upon the
old, it is p•oposed that there shall be twenty sub-
sorters at 1101. per annum ; 20 at 1001., 40 at 901.,
40 at 801., 20 at 67/. 125., and 20 juniors at 651. Thus
110/. is still to be the maximum salary, but then you
have a considerable numerical augmentation of the
higher classifications, and, consequently, better pros-
pects of speedy promotion. With reference to the
letter carriers, it has been known for some time that the
" Christmas gratuity" system was to be abolished. Ac-
cording to the Parliamentary return above alluded to,
5.,m3 of the senior letter-carriers receive in salary from
the revenue only 36/ Bs. per annum, or 14s. a-week (it
was not until 1832 that the salary was increased to 1/.
a-week), whilst in some instances the gratuities average
upwards of 100/. a-year. The new arrangements, it is
understood, abolish art foto this most objectionable prin-
ciple of paying a public servant, and in consideration of
the deprivation of these gratuities, fix the scale of salary at
from 60/., the minimum, to 1101, per annum. Great im-
provements are in progress in the money-order depart
ment of the Charing-cross branch. From the progres-
sive increase of business there, it has " been found neces-
sary to afford the public greater accommodation and
facilities, and a number of workmen are engaged in en-
larging the money-order office, so that the public may
have the same access as to the counter in banking houses;
indeed, this department of the Post-office may be, not
inaptly, perhaps, termed a sort of Bank of Exchange."

When the Lord Mayor and the deputation from the
Corporation of London visited the City estate (Lady
Deere's bequest), at Brandsburton, in Yorkshire, they

Upon being informed that he mounted the pulpit in

tend Divine worship, but that they could not sanction
any innovation upon the religious observance of their
forefathers, and could not think of being present except
the curate would exchange the white for black upon the
occasion. There was no hesitation upon the subject. The

The church was crowded on the day the deputation at

considered this interference of the deputation as a proof
of great liberality, and calculated to operate as a lecture
upon the new system, while others thought that it might
just as well have been let alone.
FINE ARTS IN SCOTLAND,---A correspondence
betwixt the Honourable Board of Scottish Manufacturers
and the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture,
and Architecture, relating to the accommodation of the
latter in the Royal Institution buildings,Edinburgh,has re-
vived the unnatural contest between these national bodies.
The former announce that it will cut off the accommo-
dations of the latter for annual exhibitions after 1847,
and seems, indeed, determined to employ every means it
can to depress, if not to destroy, the cultivation of the
fine arts in Scotland.--Literary Gazate.
A MONSTER CYLINDER.— On Friday, as an im-
mense iron cylinder, weighing 18 tons, drawn by sixteen
horses, was passing up King-street, Coventry, it was
suddenly thrown from the carriage upon which it was
being drawn, and precipitated against the iron-railings
in front of Mr. S. Hammerton's house, which were dashed
in pieces. Most fortunately no persons were passing the
spot at the time, or they mu t have been instantly
killed. The accident arose from the giving way of a
private sewer which passes under the road at that spot.
The whole of Mr. Haratnerton's gateway was blocked up
by the enormous mass, and continued so from Friday,
when the accident occurred, till Tuesday, when it was
move.!. into the road, and from thence, on the following
day, to a carriage at the top of Bishop-street, from
whence it was drawn towards Nuneaton on Thursday
morning. The process of removing the cylinder from
the place where it fell to the Op of the carriage was a
work of great care and labour, and was watched with
anxiety by a large concourse of spectators, who were at-
tracted to the spot by the novelty of the spectacle. We
understand the cylinder is part of a steam-engine in-
tended for the Wash-lane colliery at Nuneaton. It ap-
pears to have ben brought all the way from the Coal-
brook Dale district by land.—Coventry Herald.

POLICE INTEL LIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Edward Curtis, who had the appearance of being a
distressed man, but not a thief, was charged before Al-
(termer' Gibbs, with having stolen a parcel, containing
books; out of a cart in Lad-lane.
The prisoner was seen by a man, who was standing at.
the Swan- with- two-Necks, Lad-lane, to deliberately walk
up to the cart, lift the parcel on to hie, s' °alder, and
make off with it. Upon being pursued he 1 a the prop-
perty fall, and ran away, but his hat having f illen from
his head he, unluckily, s'ooped for it, and by the delay
of an instant lost an opportunity to escape. He was
caught by the tail of his coat. The books acre valued
at 11/. 15s.
Alderman Ginns—Do you wish to say anything, pri-
soner ? The prisoner—" Say ! No. Is'nt it plain
enough ? I am afraid everything is to 6 clear for me. I'll
leave it to you."
Alderman Glans —My duty is plain too. I must
commit you for trial.
The prisoner—I suppose so, though a trial is not very
necessary.
Alderman Ginns—Do you wish to sign what you have
stated when you were asked whether you wished to say
anything ? The prisoner—" Certainly." He then took
a pen and signed, in a free hand, the following words :
" I am afraid everything is too clear for me to say any-
thing, and I must leave it to you to dispose of."
Committed for trial.
Thomas Adams, groom to Mr. Rawson Reid, wine-
merchant, of Suffolk.lane, Cannon-street, was charged
with having stolen a great deal of his master's property.
The prosecutor had, upon going to the continent dis-
charged the prisoner from his service, not supposing at
the time that the man was a thief, although some arti-
cles were missing. Upon his return, however, from
abroad, he found that he had been most extensively plun-
dered, and he sent a policeman after the prisoner, who
was found on his father's premises at Dorking. In the
pockets of the prisoner were found 18 duplicates of the
stolen clothes of his master, and in his trunk 12 dupli-
cates relating to other property of the same person, and
he said he deserved punishment.
The prisoner said he understood his master to have
granted him pardon before they parted. -
Mr. Reid said he had stated that he should not take
into account what was missing at the time he left town
for the continent, but he had no idea until he returned
of the extent of his loss, or that the prisoner had been
robbing him.—Committed for trial.
John Williams was charged with having stolen a chaise
coat. The- prosecutor had left his great coat, value 31,
in a chaise at the door of a house opposite to Angel-
alley, while he went inside. The prisoner whipped the
coat up, and ran down Angel-alley, pursued by an
officer who had seen him. The officer asked a little girl
who was at the corner of the court which way the thief
ran, and at that moment the prisoner emerged from a
dark place in the court, and pointing towards the end
said " That way, that way." " That's the thief himself,"
said the little girl,-and the officer grabbed him. The
coat was picked up behind the prisoner.
The prisoner—There's what a man gits for lending a
hand to the police. I see the thief running and I pointed
out the way, and presently the police catches me, because
they must have somebody. I know no more about the
coat than about the owner, and if ever I assist any one
agin I wish he may git it.—Committed for trial.
Joseph Pearce, was charged as a smasher. The pri-
soner went, on the Bth of October, to the shop of Mr.
Syrett, stationer, at No. 72, Old Broad-street, asked for
a sixpenny memorandum-book, ruled lines, gave half-a-
crown in payment, received two shillings change, and
walked off safe. Afterwards Mr. Syrett looked at the
half-crown, sounded it, suspected it, and as the prisoner
ilia ner think proper to letru.mutp=tolnaaf3lzl
along with outer weee,
occasion. Two days afterwards as Mr. 1 rederica b ,
the brother of the prosecutor; was in the shop, the pri-
soner entered, asked for half a quire of note paper, and
presented a half-crown which•was suspected to be bad,
and a lesson having been lately read to the house that
it was necessary to examine before the departure of a
purchaser, the prisoner was secured and put into custody
of a policeman safe. The policeman could not by any
ingenuity prevail upon the prisoner to give a correct ad-
dress, although nothing could be more favourable than
the account given by him of his character.
Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, stated that the
prisoner was well-known as a smasher.
Committed for trial upon the two charges.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET. '
Patrick Hogan was brought up for final examination,
charged with stealing 300 sovereigns and a purse, the
property of Bridget Welsh.
Mr. Humphries attended for the prisoner.
Bridget Welsh, a middle-aged woman, said, on Mon-
day week, about six o'clock, she had occasion to ,leave
a rpom, which she occupied in a house, No. 1, Angel-
court, and on her return she found that her box had
been opened, and 300 sovereigns, from a sum of 611
sovereigns, had been stolen. The sovereigns were wrapped
in paper, just as prosecutrix had received them in Ire-
land. There was also a purse taken away at the same
time. The prisoner was her first cousin ; she had been
very kind to him, and often allowed him to come to her
room. She had shown him her money, and had told him
she intended to buy houses with it.
Bridget Hogan said the prosecutrix lived in her house.
On Monday week witness saw Hogan go into Mrs.
Welsh's room, after she had gone out, and in about ten
minutes she heard him go away.
Police-constable Mount, C 128, said having heard of
the robbery, he succeeded in taking the prisoner into
custody in an evening or two afterwards, in Great Pul-
teney-street. The prisoner was then attired in a new
suit of clothes, and had been drinking freely. His hat
fell off, and witness hearing the sound of money, exa-
mined it, and found in a handkerchief 175 sovereigns,
and some paper in which the sovereigns had been
wrapped. On searching the prisoner at the station-
house, 19 more sovereigns were found in a purse, 23
sovereigns in his pockets, and 1/. 7s. in silver. The
purse was identified by Mrs. Welsh.
A shopman to Mr. Prow, tailor, Holborn, proved that
on the evening of the robbery the, prisoner bought
clothes to the amount of 41, and paid for them in so-
vereigns.
Frances Belcomb said the' prisoner had kept company
with her about two years. He gave her two sovereigns,
but she was not then aware that a robbery had been
committed.
Police-constable Mount said, as there was nearly 801.
unaccounted for, he asked the prisoner what he had done
with the money.
The prisoner said he had spent it, as he should spend
the rest, for it was all his own honest savings.
Mr. Humphreys cross-examined Mrs. Welsh—She
said she had been about three months from Limerick.
She had kept an eating-house in the town, and had re-
ceived the money in her possession while she was in
Ireland. When she came to London she found the pri-
soner in the greatest distress. She was his principal
support of late, and had lent him money besides. The
purse she had bought in Limerick, in the street, and
she could swear to it.
Mr. Ham:mime decided on sending the case to a jury.
Police-constable Mount said the prisoner had on' a new
hat, new boots, aid new clothes, all of which, it was pre-
sumed had been bought with the stolen money. The
prisoner had left behind his old garments, which he (wit-
ness) had taken possession of.
The prosecutrix wished to know whether the prisoner
was to be allowed to retain possession of his new clothes?
Mr. Hardwick made no order on the subject, ad the
prisoner was then fully committed.
LAMBETH.
Mr. William Broadfoot, the stage-manager, and Mr.
Thomas Barry, the clown at Astley's Theatre, appeared
before Mr. Elliott, to answer a charge of assaulting Mr.
Joseph Wellens, a French gentleman, on Friday night
last.
The complainant, who has but a very imperfect know-
ledge of the English language, was accompanied by Mr.
Wilton, a comedian, who acted as interpreter. From the
e
statement of the complainant it appeared that he was t
owner of a Russian dog, called " The Dog of. thel,
Pyrenees," and was engaged to play, with hison animal,
fir Mr. Barry's benefit at Astley's Theatre, Friday
night last. Having had but one short
irehearsal.. with hisy
dog on the Wednesday previous, and
iiearine nothing
from Mr. Barry in the course of Frit ,y evening,
concluded that his services, as well as that of his dog,
would be dispensed with on the occasion, arid he went to
bed. Between 11 and 12, however, Mr. Broadfoot came
to his lodgings, accompanied by a police officer, and in-
s'sted upon his going with them at once to the theatre
[ to perform the piece for which he had been engaged, and
which had been announced in the bills. He, com-
plainant, supposing he was bound to obey the mandate
of the police, consented ; accordingly, went to
the theatre, and commenced the piece, but for
want of proper properties be was unable to
finish it. Ile went into the painting room, when
a bucket of cold water was thrown over him, and
he was attacked in the most violent manner by a num-
ber of persons. Mr. Barry struck him several times
about the head and face, and the complainant ultimately
rushed upon the stage, with his person drenched with
water and his lip cut, and after being seriously mal-
treated. Mr. Barry followed him on the stage, and ad-
dressed the audience. His (complainant's) appeal to the
audience was confined to pointing attention to the state
of his person and his tears, for he wept bitterly, while
Mr. Barry, having a fluency of language, had much the
best of this part of the performance, as the audience
cheered him on, while they as loudly hissed the com-
plainant, and the latter was obliged quickly to retire and
leave the theatre. In conclusion the complainant,
through his interpreter, expressed his surprise of the
defendant Mr. Barry, who he had always treated as a
friend, and upon whom he had been in the habit of
lavishing large sums of money in dinners, lunches, &c.,
Mr. Wilton begged upon his own part to say that he had
known Mr. Wellens, who had been a soldier, and bore
the highest testimonials, for many years, and though he
was somewhat exciteable, he believed that a more warm-
hearted or kinder man did not exist. He had called on
him on Saturday morning, and, on mentioning the in-
dignant manner in which he had been treated, by having
a bucket of cold water thrown upon him, and the , vio-
lent attack that had been made upon him, he cried very
bitterly. He (complainant) felt particularly hurt at the
conduct of Mr. Barry, who he always treated as his per-
sonal friend.
Mr. Broadfoot, in reply to tke charge, said that he
was responsible to Mr. Batty for the management of the
house, and finding on Friday eight that the complainant
had not attended at the proper time, and showing no
disposition to perform in a piece which, with his dog, he
had been engaged by Mr. Barry to do, and fearing also
a disturbance in the house if the piece announced were
not got through; he went to his lodging, and found
that he was actually in bed. He answered
iim after a
little difficulty, and on seeing him, told him the serious
consequences that might result from the non-pei form-
ance of his engagement. The complainant, after hear-
ing him, and seeing a police-constable present, consented
to attend, and did attend at the theatre. The former
part of the piece went on pretty well, but as it pro-

rossed the complainant became careless, and the audi-
nee became noisy. He went on to speak to the com •
plainant, and in his usual emphatic manner upon such
occasions, knocked one hand against the other, but he
could solemnly assure his worship that he never struck
him. In fact, the man was at that moment at the theatre
who had struck the co ❑plainant, as well as the man
who threw the water over him.
Altar some further proceeding., ultimately the parties
retired, and the result was, that Mr. Barry agreed to pay
the complainant 3/. in addition to the 5/. for his engage-
ment, and, the latter having accepted these terms, the
warrants were dismissed.

OTAIIEITE.
The following account of the late events at Otaheite
have been received by the French Government from
Captain Bruat, dated Papeiti, June 3. 1846 :
" Monsieur le Ministre,—As the attacks of the
insurgents on Papeiti and our other positions at
Otaheite were not discontinued, I t•)olc advantage of
the presence of Admiral Hamelin to ma•ch against
the insurgent camps of Papenoo and l'unavin. On
May 8 I set out at the head of 800 soldiers and
sai:ors, and 200 friendly natives. After having, with-
,ut striking a blow, successfu ly driven the insur-
,renis from their positions at I'apuna, Abonn, and
Tapahi, I attacked on the 10th their positions at
i'apenoo, which they did not quit until after a
combat, which placed the four forts raised at
Papenoo in our power. After having pursued the
enemy to the bottom of a valley, which at last
became impracticable for organised troops, and
having forced from them two new positions, I
bivouacked until the 23d at Papenoo, getting every-
thing destroyed that could serve to the establish-
ment of a new centre of insurrection at that point,
and erecting at the important position of Tapahi a
blockhouse, which opens to us the way to the
eastern districts, and closes it to the insurgents.
After having rested one night at Haapupe, I en-
tered on the 24th the valley of Fantahua, the inha
bilants of which had come as far as Papeiti to com-
mit depredations. At Papenoo all the resources of the
enemy in the 'alley were destroyed, and the column did
not return on its way until after having met- with
an impracticable country, and taken from 'the enemy
a fortification so strongly constructed as to offer
a firm resistance. On the 25th I was at Haapupe.
After having concerted with Admiral Hamelin,
and given forty-eight hours' rest to the troops,
set out on the 28th for Punavin. The number of
armed natives marching with our troops was 261. The
expeditionary column bivouacked on, the •28th at Utu-
maoro ; the next day it marched on the entrenchments
of Tapuna and Atihue, which our Indian scouts found
evacuated. On the 29tb, at nine in the morning, we
occupied Punavin and the outskirts of the valleys,
to which the insurgents had fled. On the 30th,
at five in the morning, I entered the valley with
three companies and a half; and a mountain
howitzer, some of the natives serving us as scouts. The
enemy evacuated their first entrenchment without strik-
ing a blow, and the second was taken after a slight en-
gagement. Although I had given orders to stop there,
in order to reconnoitre the groun ', the advanced
guard being led away by our Indian auxiliaries, who
believed the fort to be partly abandoned, entered more
deeply into the valley, which at this spot is bounded on
both sides by nearly perpendicular rocks, and has not
more than forty yards of width. It was on this point that
the insurgents had concentrated their forces. At nine
in the morning, at the moment the column arrived there
to support the advanced guard, which had sent me
word that they were about to enter the fort, a very
sharp fire was directed against them from
_a baulky
placed behind an elbow of
_th‘latErke—time masses of
ZfilSrilict rock were rolled down from the tops
of the heights which commanded our position. I
stopped the head of the column in this place, judging
the natural fortification which we had before us to
be impregnable, without first occupying the height
which commanded it, and which I knew to be
already occupied. I had some observations made
which fully confirmed my opinion of the strength of this
position, and the number of men in possession of it. I
then destroyed in the valley all the resources of the
enemy, without their venturing to disturb us by a single
shot. The firing of the enemy at the commencement of
the action caused the death of the brave Commandant
de Breu, who was struck by a ball in the breast.
Lieutenant Malmanche of the royal navy, and the
head of my staff, had his leg shattered by a ball, and
amputation was found to be necessary. Captain Ceriere,
of the 31st, and M. Lejeune, enseigne de vaisseau, were
also wounded. M. Perrotte, eleve of the first class,
was killed in the entrenchments. Several of the men
received contusions from the fall_ stones, but their
hurts are not serious. At Punavin, as at Papenoo, I
had the fortifications raised by the natives destroyed,
as well as everything that could favour a fresh
assemblage of the insurgents at this point, where I
considered it indispensable to erect a blockhouse.
I shall countinue to occupy Punavin with the
forces which I can dispose of, until such time as
the works which I am getting constructed for the per-
manent occupation of this point be terminated." (The
dispatch concludes with a list of those officers who most
distinguished themselves, and who aro recommended to
the consideration of the Government.)
The total loss is stated to be 9 killed and 35 wounded.

THE ANTICIPATED DEARTH.
The following prayer was offered in the Spanish and
Portuguese Synagogue on Saturday last, and will be
continued for the three following Saturdays. It is the
composition of the Rev. David Meldola, the Presiding
Rabbi :

" 0 God of Hosts I thou who of old created the
heavens, and brought forth with great power the earth,
and that which dwells therein—who, by thy great good-
ness, dost cause the ground to produce for man and every
living thing, avid by the abundance of its fruits dost keep
alive the breath of man, and satisfy the desire of all thy
creatures:
" We acknowledge that thy tender mercies are over
all thy works, thou art good and beneficent to all man-
kind ; but, 0 Lord, with shame we confess before thee
that our transgressions havi withholden good things
from us, that justly hast thou prevented the fields from
yielding food sufficient to satisfy thy creatures, and
caused us to dread thy righteous displeasure.

FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held
on Monday evening at St. Thomas's Hospital, before Mr.
Payne, on the body of Robert Smith, aged fifteen. From
the evidence of Mr. Wyse, tobacconist, of Wellington-
strcet, London-bridge, it appeared that on Saturday even•
ing last hesaw the deceased dart from the pavement as if
he had been waiting an opportunity to cross, and on
endeavouring to get to the other side, he ran or fell
against an omnibus from the railway station. He fell
just behind the horses, and both the wheels of one side
of thew omnibus went over him. The omnibus was pro-
ceeding at a moderate pace, and the driver could not
possibly have pulled up in time to prevent the accident.
Deceased died a few minutes after his admission to the
hospital. Verdict, " Accidental Death."
