CAMBRIDGE

Mr. GILDART, at the Sitting of the Court, applied in this
case for an order, confirming the Master's report, approving of
the exchange of certain lands in Trumpington-street, Cambridge,
and the payment of 2,0001. to Trinity-hall, as a compensation for
that exchange, for the purpose of aiding in the formation of the
new botanical gardens at Cambridge, the site of the old gardens
having been rendered totally unfit for that purpose, in conse.
quence of the great increase of buildings around it.
His HONOUR immediately ordered the report to be
confirmed.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

Two boys named William Taylor and Joseph Ellett were
found guilty of having, on the evening of the 25th of Febru-
ary, attempted to pass a bad shilling at the shop of William
Coombes, grocer, in St. John's.row ; and for having also
another counterfeit shilling in their possession. Taylor was
seen by a policeman to go into the shop, whilst Ellett stood
outside and looked through the window. Taylor having gone
into the shop and asked for a pound of 6d. sugar, Mrs Coombes
suspecting the shilling to be bad, went and looked at it under
a gas light in the shop window. Ellett, on seeing this, at-
tempted to run off, but was stopped by the policeman, who
found upon him a counterfeit shilling, which Ellett attempted
to throw away. Three good sixpences were fcgind upon Taylor.
The prisoners were sentenced to twelve months' hard labour.

John Jones and William Blasey, well-known " smashers"
and coiners were sentenced to be confined for two years with
hard labour.
There were several other convictions for similar offences,

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

We are again without any arrivals from Portugal or the
westward, nor have we any ship letters this morning, conse-
quently we are deprived of all political intelligence, with the
exception of what the estafette brings from Paris. The rentes
came at the same price as last arrival, 78f. 60c. All the ships
of war at Toulon are kept in readiness to sail at a moment's
notice. A division of the Russian fleet at Sebastopol sailed
about the ISth ult. for Constantinople. It is also stated that the
King of Spain has experienced a relapse of his disorder. The
new loan for Don Miguel has not yet come into the market.
A violent shock of an earthquake was experienced at Corfu,
many lives were lost, and two villages destroyed.
By the French Mail accounts from Warsaw state that not
more than 30,000 Russians are at present in Poland, but they
are very actively employed at the works of the citadel, and the
moment the river is free from ice 486 pieces of artillery are ex-
pected to arrive at Warsaw.
A change of Ministry is going to take place at Rome.
THE FUNDS.

The private letters from Paris state that the witness of the
Grand Duke de Bordeaux has been arrested.

We are very dull in the City this morning. The continued
debates on the Irish affairs become very tiresome to the public,
and preventthe Legislature from bringing forward other subjects
of importance—by which it is apprehended that not one half of
the business will be got through this Session.

Consols opened as they left off yesterday, which was 88 % 3j
for the Account.

In the Foreign Market this is settling day, which occupies
;he attention of the Brokers.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Consols have been during the whole of the morning at 88 % %
for the Account.

The Foreign Securities seem to be the favourite speculation,
particularly Dutch and Belgian Stocks, in which great purchases
have been made within these few days.
In the Foreign Market they are occupied in settling their
Accounts, of which Dutch Stock is the heaviest : up to this hour
all is going offright.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-11R. BARING
WALL, M.P.—This gentleman, it is understood, has
availed himself of his right of traverse. His trial, conse-
quently, cannot take place before the 25th of April.
THE ERIN STEAM-SHIP. Captain J.
FooTE, R.N., has addressed a letter to a Morning Paper,
stating that the trunk picked up at Milford is his pro-
perty, and that it was shipped on board the Erin. A.
additional confirmation of the loss of this vessel the Cork
Chronicle states that two feather beds were picked up off
Fisbguard on the sth instant, labelled "J. ALLEN, a
passenger on board the Erin to Belfast."

APPENDIX to the FIRST EIGHT PARTS
of the BYRON ILLUSTRATIONS.

We have been for some time on the look-out
for this Appendix, which is essential to the
completion of Finden's Illustrations. It is now
just published, and, as it is stored with anecdote,
graphic scenic descriptions, and little matters of
biography and history, all bearing directly on
the imperishable verse of Byron, will be perused,
no doubt, with avidity. As a sample of typo-
graphy, to say nothing of other merits, it
puts forth high claims to praise.

VOYAGE It) WESTERN AFRICA.
EDINBURGH, 1833.

An agreeable, gossiping book, the production
of a medical gentleman, by name Leonard,
whose chief object (and he has succeeded in it)
is to show the monstrous way in which the
traffic in slaves is still kept up in many parts
of the South and West of Africa. '

AIMS AND ENDS. 3 VOLS. LONDON, 1833.
We are indebted for this work to a member of
a family to which English literature has long
been indebted—we mean the -Sheridans. A
Miss Sheridan is, we understand, the author of
" Aims and Ends," which consists of two stories,
both of which are well told, but the last of
which " Oonagh Lynch," evinces, in some pas-
sages, deep sensibility, and, in others, a high
order of eloquence.
