REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(EVERY MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.)
Sir,—Ou Monday the 16th, the most remarkable re-
sult in the House, was the carrying of the vote for
repairs at Maynooth by only a
majority of two; the
numbers being 121 to 119. It: is to be regretted
that by the forms of the House, the indications of such
facts in what are called the " Votes," should be exceed.
ingly obscure. Ia the present instance it might appear
as if no pains had been spared to prevent any glimpse
of the truth, that the deduction
proposed vote was for repairs to ofy To3th6,Lori°ths.atmsOtha.

than two to one, to 31, against any change.
After this came on what is called the Peace motion of
the Member for the We Riding. Among the various
debaters on the subject, none appeared to state the ob-
ject with all the clearness of which it was susceptible.
It amounted to a proposal, that the Secretary for
Foreign Affairs should say to the French Govern-
ment, "The two countries are maintaining thirty sail of
the line each, to watch one another. Does it not seem
pesiblo that twenty would do?" The
Foreign Secretary,
gave his viherence to the principle, but declined bind-
ing himself by terms; and so the motion was not
pressed to a division. On the whole, the result cannot
be considered otherwise than as favourable to the object
of the mover.

Mr. Elwes, the Manor-house, High-street, Peckham, was
robbed of 00/. worth of silver plate. About nine, Mr. Cooks,

A letter from Hamburgh of the 13th says :
" The Senate has at length broken silence. It has
just published a notice in which it says that the oc-
cupation of the Faubourg St. Paoli by the Austrian
troops from Holstein took place without its consent.
It adds that it is about to take steps to protect the
rights of the city. The Senate has sent M. Merk,
one of the Syndics, as a special plenipotentiary to
Vienna."

The Prussian Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna, of the 1 1 th, which states that Lieut.-Col. de
Alantz, of the Bavarian service, had arrived in that
city for the purpose of presenting to the Emperor of
Austria the official act instituting him Colonel of 13th
Regiment of Bavarian Infantry.

MARKET NhWS.--(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat on sale in to -day's market
was very limited, but of full average quality. Although the
attendance of buyers was very moderate the demand for all
kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on Monday, and a good clearance
was effected. From abroad 6,420 quarters of Wheat have
come fresh to hand this week. On the whole, the trade was
firm, and some of the importers refused to sell, except on
higher terms. No English Barley at market; and
the quantity of foreign was trifling. The few
parcels offering changed hands at extreme currencies.
We had a vary moderate inquiry for Malt; nevertheless, the
quotations were well supported. Oats moved off slowly, and
good sound Corn was the turn dearer. Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour maintained previous quotations.

the running to the Ditch-gap ; here he was joined by
The Knight, who headed him in rising out of the dip,
and at the T. Y. C. post had put him hors de combat.
Beehunter here took his place about a length from the
leader, challenged on entering the cords, had his head
first 111 f-way up, and appeared to have the best of the
race; The Knight, however, came again three or four
lengths from the chair, and won on the post by a head.

Although the card promised only a couple of races,
and the weather was unpromising, the Port Stakes ex-
cited so much general interest, and had been the source
of such heavy speculation, that several gentlemen,
amongst them the noble owner of the Knight of Avenel,
availed themselves of the ordinary train, arrived just in
time for the commencement of business on the heath, and
were gratified with one of the most severely contested
races ever witnessed. Apart from this event we may
safely affirm that the day was a fitting wind-up to the
worst Craven Meeting on record.

NOTICE TO THE---11;U7----BLICT-GENERAL POST-OFFICE.
The extended adoption of street-door letter-boxes, as recom-
mended in the notice to the public of May, 1849, has consi-
derably promoted the rapid delivery of letters. The Post-
master-General, in renewing this recomendation, takes oc-
casion to advert to the great increase of Post-office duty
which will arise out of the approaching Exhibition, and
which will render it still more important that the postmen
should not be unnecessarily detained. Householders who
have not already provided street-door letter-boxes, are there-
fore reminded that it is peculiarly desirable that such pro-
vision be made before the la of May.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN and Alderman COPELAND.)
ROBBERY BY A VALET.—John Moss, aged 25, de-
scribed as a servant, was indicted for stealing a mi-
croscope, three caps, four shirt-studs, six shirts, two
pairs of trousers, twelve pairs of souks, an unsct dia-
mond, and other articles, value 100/., the property of
Mr. George Henry Brettle, a merchant, carrying on
business in Wood-street, Cheapside.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and Mr. Mew defended, the
prisoner.
Th© prosecutor formerly lived in the Albany. He
was then a batchelor, and the prisoner was his valet and
confidential servant, but last autumn he married and
removed to Westbourn-terrace, Hyde-park, when the
prisoner quitted his service. After ho left the articles
mentioned in the indictment, besides several cheque-
books, were missing, and on information of the loss being
given to the police the property was traced to the pri-
soner's possession, and he was given into custody on
the present charge.
The defence was that the property was given to the
prisoner by bis master.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court
sentenced him to transportation for ten years.
