NEW COURT.

(Before MIREHOUSE, Esq., Common-Sergeant.)
Ellen Smith and Mary Ann Robinson were indicted
for stealing, on the 19th of August, four la notes, the
property of Mr. Page Smith, from his person.
The prosecutor was called several times, but did not
appear ; the other witnesses were merely to prove that the
prisoners passed 101. notes of specified numbers, but with.
out the evidence of the prosecutor the charge fell to the
ground. The prisoners were therefore discharged, with an
admonition from the Learned Judge.
Mr. Smith having been bound over to prosecute, his
recoeniz inces were estreated.

Robert Howse was indicted for stealing 101ba. of paper,
value 2s. 6d., the property of Birch and Suttcliffe, solici-
tors, of Chancery-lane, on the 10th Sept. last.
Mr. Holland, a cheesemouger, stated that on the day
named, the prisoner offered him about 60Ibs. of Brief
paper for sale. He asked him where he got it, when be
gave an address; but witness, finding another on the paper,
gave notice to a policeman, who took him into custody.
Mr. Birch said they were having their premises re-
paired, and their papers were put into closets, to which
the workmen had access. The papers were their pro-
perty, and they had lost a great quantity more.
He was found Guilty. Sentence deferred.

Mr. Page Smith, the prosecutor in the former case
now appeared, and pleaded important business ; but the
Learned Judge said he must move the Court upon affidavit
before he could relieve him from his recognizances.

New York papers, to the 26th September, received at
the North and South American Coffee-house, bring a most
disastrous account of the sufferings of General Sinta:Ann A'S
army, from cholera.
(Late from Mexico.)

The schooner General Lafayette arrived yesterday from
Tampico, and has brought files of papers to the 24th ult.
Tranquillity has not as yet been established ; the cholera
has been making most dreadful havoc among the armies
of the rebels, as well as those of the President. Arista
has taken and pillaged Guanaguato.
Thn Vice-President, in pursuance of his extraordinary
powers, has just closed, to foreign commerce, the ports
of Pueblo, Viego de Tampico, and Soto de la Marin. This
decree bears date July 31.
The, head quarters of Santa Anna were, on the 10th
ult., at Queretaro ; and by a proclamation of that date one
may judge of the ravages which the cholera has made in
the constitutional army. When the troops were about to
continue their march, it was discovered that 200 men had
fallen victims ; on the second day the disease considerably
increased, and continued augmenting until the fifth day,
when it was found that 2,000 men, out of the force of
4,000, were sick, dying, or dead. The bulletin ad-
dressed to the Minister of War is calculated to strike terror;
but Santa Anna, despising all obstacles, pursued his march
with rapidity, in order to arrive in time at Guanaguato,
to attack General Artatas's forces, which were well situated
behind a strong fortification. The President's troops
were fatigued by forced marches, dispirited by sickness,
and almost dying with hunger. The following day the
camp of Santa Anna was horrible to be seen ; the dead and
dying were strewed all around. Notwithstanding, he re-
solved, on hearing that General Durand was on his return
to Silao, to go and attack him. He accordingly formed a
column of 800 infantry, and put them in motion at eight
o'clock in the evening; but a heavy rain impeded
his march for a considerable time, and he was at
length obliged to give up the pursuit. During this
one day's march 150 men died, when he was obliged to
return to his camp, and to suspend all kind uf warlike
operations. His total loss is estimated at 2,000 men.
By the express from Paris this morning it is stated
that Don Carlos has established his head quarters at a small
village in Estreinadura, called Cuceras ; also that Boor-
mont and the other French Generals were to be embarked
at Cudex. The French Rentes came per cent. higher.
The French Papers from the South of France, received
this morning, say, " It is unfortunately certain that the
partisans of Don Carlos have hoisted the standard of re-
volt in several small towns, but we have not as yet heard
of any serious consequences, except the troubles which
have taken place at Bilboa and Talavera de la Reyna,
where the partisans of Don Carlos have conducted them.
selves in a most barbarous manner. It is but too true
that this unfortunate country is going to be the theatre of
bloodshed, if France and England do not come to the
support of the Queen Regent. A report also prevailed
that Don Carlos was proclaimed at Valladolid and Burgos.

THE FUNDS.

The funds have a more wholesome appearance this
morning than for some days past, caused no doubt by
those who have received their dividends investing them
in the various funds.

The hunting establishment of Lord Seagrave
at Berkeley Castle is perhaps the most extensive in the
kingdom ; it consists of forty hunters and seventy couple
of fox-hounds. His Lordship is about to commence the
season in Gloucestershire. .

It was stated before the Commissioners of
Corporation Inquiry at Boston, that in a toll cause in
which the Corporation were engaged large retaining fees
were given on behalf of that body to Sir James Searlett,
Mr. Denman, and Mr. Taunton ; but the two latter being
promoted before the trial came on, the Corporation lost
their fees, amounting to a considerable sum. The
" practice of the Bar," upon which these gentlemen acted,
would be " more honoured in the breach than in the
observance."
We understand that the livings of Kirby
There and Brougham, said to have been given by the
Lord Chancellor to Mr. Elliot, are not in the Lord Chan-
cellor's gift.
