MARY LEB ONE.

Charles Johnson, alias Goldsmith, and Margaret Cave
who were charged at the Office on Friday last with forming
part of an extensive gang of coiners and smashers, and
having base money in their possession, were yesterday again
placed at the bar for re-examination, and fully committed
for trial.

WORSHIP- STREET.
Yesterday William Cluj; by trade a weaver, who has
tried almost every line of business in a small way, but who
now carries on the business of a pawnbroker at No. 6,
Cheshire-street, Bethnal-green, appeared to a summons be-
fore Mr. GROVE and Mr. TWYFORD for general ill-usage
towards two children named Henry Hillard and Sarah
Martin, that had been bound apprentice to him from the
parish of St. Andrew, Holborn.
The Magistrates, after hearing evidence, ordered the
two unfortunate children to be discharged from their inden-
tures, and to be taken to Bethnal-green workhouse, as they
had now become chargeable to that parish. The Magis-
trates informed the defendant that if at any future time his
other apprentices or their friends wished their indentures to
be cancelled also they, as Magistrates, would not under the
circumstances object.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday, James Yoram, a constable of Clerkenwell
parish, was brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT,
on a warrant, by Duke, the officer of the establishment,
charged by Mrs. Sarah Sutton, of St. John-street-road, with
having committed a violent assault under the following cir-
cumstances :

the
progeeutriii baying been given to understand that
there was to be a performance at a private theatre in Wil-
mington-street, Clerkenwell, purchased some tickets on
Monday night last, She proceeded W the theatre with

three other female friends, who had also purchased tickets
and on their arrival at the doors they found several persons
there, who were greatly disappointed at being informed that
there would be no performance. Witness demanded to
have her money returned, and she would deliver back the
tickets, on which the defendant came up, and seizing hold
of her by the throat, dragged her off the steps of the door,
and used her in a shameful manner, threatening the whole
of her friends, saying he was a constable.
Several witnesses corroborated the evidence.
The defendant attended at the Wilmington theatre to
keep order.

Mr. LAING—Pray what are you ? Defendant—l am a
constable belonging to Clerkenwell.
Mr. LAING asked what sort of a theatre it was, and whe-
ther it had been licensed ? Defendant said it was a private
theatre, and not licensed.

Mr. LAING—And who employed you to attend there ?
Defendant—Mr. Young, the stage-manager.
Mr. Young (a mere stripling), here stepped forward with
an affected theatrical air of dignity, and stood erect before
their Worships, when he was sworn.
Mr. LAING—Pray what are you ? Young (with con-
fidence)—l am stage-manager to the Wilmington Theatrical
Establishment.

Mr. LAING—Pray, is the theatre licensed ? Young—
It is not, your Worship.
Mr. LAING—Are there performances there every night ?
Young—Oh, no ; only occasionally.
Mr. LAING said they might depend upon it the place
should be looked after,

The Magistrates consulted, and said that the assault had
been clearly proved against the defendant, and he was fined
10s. and costs.

Mr. BENNETT—Depend upon it we shall do something
further in this case. It is highly improper for parish con-
stables to lend themselves in the manner the defendant and
Harris have done.

The defendant paid the fine, and quitted the office.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday James Boone, a foreman belonging to the
London Fire Engine Establishment, was brought before
Mr. MURRAY, charged on suspicion with uttering an order
issued from this Office, entitling the reward to the first
engine which arrived at the incendiary fire that destroyed
some empty warehouses near the Charity School at
Roth erhithe.

After evidence had been gone into, the prisoner procured
the required sureties, and was discharged.

COMMERCIAL ADVICES.

By the New Orleans papers, received yesterday, we learn
that the trade of that place had become very brisk, there being
more than sixty vessels at the landing, some of which were very
large ships. More than fifty were known to be on their way
to that port, and by the end of October it was expected the
Mississippi would be covered with vessels. Upwards of ten
thousand bales of Cotton had been disposed of in eight days,
the prices varying at from 14 to 15 cents per lb. Tobacco of
superior quality was 7} dollars per cwt., second quality at 6i,
inferior at 514.
By the advices yesterday from St. Petersburgh we learn
that the accumulation of ice upon the Neva began on the 12th
and 13th ult. The bridge of boats had been removed to the
banks of the river. The communication between the two
parts of the town had ceased. At Cronstadt the continuation
of the frost and considerable falls of snow had caused the
formation of much ice, and if such weather continued, the
communication with St. Petersburgh and Oranienbaum would
be interrupted.
By a Royal Decree, the duty on crude borax is fixed at six
reals vellon when imported into Spain in Spanish bottoms, and
ten reals vellon when in foreign or by land. Refined borax, or
subhorate of soda, will pay one and a half reals in Spanish,
and two and a half in foreign bottoms.
