The accounts from the Amsterdam and Rotterdam
produce markets reports greater firmness in the prices for
coffee and sugar. There was not much doing in other ar-
ticles, but rates, on the whole, were steadily maintained.
The Hamburgh and Antwerp advices also mention a more
favourable tendency in business, but coffee had chiefly ex-
perienced benefit from the change.
The mercantile intelligence from America this
week is unimportant, warm weather having set in and
caused as far as possible a suspension of business. Although
the present packet has brought 165,0001. of specie for this
country, and 25,00 1. for France, the impression was that
further shipments would c ntinue to be made. Three
failures had occurred, but had not in any way interfered with
the prevailing confidence. The parties were, Samuel Jau-
don and Co., whose suspension is attributed to losses on stocks,
and also in connexion with cotton bills; E. D. Hulburt and
Co., who had been for some time considered weak, and Fal-
coner and Co., who had been shippers to California. The
accounts from the south state that the cotton plant had been
much benefited by recent rains. The prospects of the grain
crop are said to be favourable in all quarters.
Tux POTTERIES, JULY 13.—The trade of this
district continues active. The whole of the hands are in
full work, except in Burslem and Tunstall, where the mn
have scare ly recovered from the effects of last week's
" wakes" The export branch of trade is especially brisk.
The American consumers are almost unable to get their
orders supplied. A large proportion, however of the ex-
ports which travel across the Atlantic are unfinished. The
American tariff operates to the exclusion of our painted and
gilded porcelain, and merchants therefore purchase white
ware, in which state it passes the Custom-house at a nominal
duty, and is afterwards " got up" by English and continen-
tal artists. Several firms hate ree.iv,,d large orders
goods to correspond with those exhibited at the Exhibi-
tion. The artistic departments are as brisk as the more use-
ful branches.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-S IREET.
Yesterday two young men named William Muzzell
and Thomas George Young, late clerks in the post- office
at Gravesend, were brought up on wariauts and placed
at the bar before Hr. Henry, charged with stealoig
letter containing two 10/. and one 51. notes, the property
of the Postmaster-General, a discovery of which was
made under peculiar circumstances.
Mr. Peacock attended for the prosecution; Mr.
Trimmer and Mr. Hobler appearing far the prisoners.
Mrs. Rose Ann Pharen, of Buteree, near Southamp•
ton, stated that on the 13th of September she wrote a
letter to her husband, who was thse at. Gravesend, en-
closing the notes in qutation, the dates and uumuers of
which she had previously tskeu in her memorandum
book, which she delivered to her sun to post, and it
never arrived at its destination.
Thomas Walker, assistant to Mr. De Cswo, who
keeps a post-office receiving house at 65, Piccadilly, said
that on the evening of the 13th of November he re-
ceived the 5/. note produced in payment of three sheets
of postage-stamps hewn a man res. cabling the prisoner
Young, who gave the name of J. Pharen, of Southamp-
ton, which witness wrote on the note; and having hand, d
him the change he went swat. The coat worn by him
was of a peculiar style. and similar to the one shown to
him by the constable by whom the prisoners were ap-
prehended.
Mr. Charles Ceuves, postmaster at Gravesend, slid
that a letter posted on the day iu question at Bitterne,
would arrive at Gravesend at mid-day on the following
day through the General Post-office. He had nu recol-
lection of seeing the letter, but had it arrived it would
have been stamped by the prisoner Young, and sorted
by witness or another ele,k, The other prisoner who
made the necessary official declaration was in his service,
and was in the habit of being frequently in the post-
office. The prisoner Young resigned his situation, and
the other was appointed as his successor. On the 21st
of November the inspector-general come to Gravesend
for the purpose of inquiring into the loss of missing let-
ters, on which occ sewn witness's house was searchd.
Ellen Viler, in the service of Mr. Barton, 7, Bruns•
wick-place, Brunswick square, Brighton, sail—ln about
six weeks after the prisoner Muzzell received his appoint-
ment, my sister (who was his wife) died in October,
1848, while I was with her, and in about twelve months
a':er I was married to the prisoner as Aldgate
church, and lived with him until six weeks back.
Seven weeks ago he left home, remained absent a
week, and on his return I asked him a here be had been,
and with whom, to which he replied that I had no
claim upon him, that he should go were he liked, and
with whom be liked, and then le-it the house; telling the
I might sell the furniture, and do what I pleased with
the money; in consequence of which I disposed of the
furniture and went to Brighton, where I obtained tee
situation Orem); mentioned. In the early part of Sep-
tember, I recollect the prisoner bringing me two 101. bank
of England notes, telling me to get change for them; and
on asking why he did not do so himself, he replied.
"They were Tom Young's, and he had an objection to
it for certain reasons;" which caused me to observe, that
if Young got them honestly, he could get change him•
self. He again brought rue tho some notes in a week,
desiring I would go ta London and get change, which I
also refused, there being something wrong about them,
when he said, "If I tell you where I got them will you
go?" Upon which I consented, and he said. " You don't
mean it; you only want to know where I got them;
but if you mean it I will tell you." He then said that
Tom Young took them out of a letter at the Gravesend
Post-office, and upon asking him where the 1. tter came
from, be replied Bitterne. I then asked if there were
veso teas in it, and his answer was there was also a five.
et the same time saying f• Witt you go no ?" and I
told him to take them back to Young, that he might
return them to the person to whom they belonged;
but he said ho was not such a fool, and to k them
away. I heard nothing more of them for some
weeks, and on asking mai what became of them, he said
they were at the office, and that he and the ether prisoner
had them alternively. Oe the occasion of seine gentle.
men from London coming to search the house of the
postmaster, when I examined the prisoner's waistcoat
pocket, eltile he aas at the office, I discovered two 101
notes, dated 6 ItJune, 1850, aid having put them into a
box, asked him .m his return what I should d r wi-h
them, should I burn them? He replied that, be wanted
rem Young to have them, he having left the Post-office
service; end by his directions I took them to Shepherd's-
bush, where Young was living with a isomen, and he
said it was all right. Iu a few days after Muzzell had
two sheets of postage stamp., end on asking where th
got them, he said tro n Tom Y ,ung, ho ceatiged the
51. note at Charing cross ter them, and brought 40s.
down to him. At the time the prisoner said I had no
claim upon him he said that he had searched the law
books and found that, though he was morally, he was
not legally m trried; and upon my mother putting some
questions to him upon the subject after the marriage
cook piece, he said it teas quite legal, although some en-
tertained Pusetite notions on such matters.
Mr. Wontner took a preliminary objection to the wit-
ness giving evidence on the ground that she was the
wife of the accused.
Mr. HENRY said that by the sth and 6th William IV.,
chap. 54, sec. 2, all marriages celebrated after August
31, 1835, were null and void within the prohibited degree
of affieity, and therefore her evidence could not be ob-
jected to on such grounds.
Mts. Aube Ceuves recollected the inspector-general
coming to Gravesend, and causing her husband's house
to be searched. on the evening of which day Muzzle was
in the office. Oa his knocking at the door, witness told
him that the fauely was in great distress in consequence
of such proceedings, asking him if ho knew anything
about it, and he replied, "Indeed, I must go home for a
quarter of an hour," which he did, and returned in half
an hour.
Matthew Peake, a constable attached to the Post-
office, said that on the 3d instant he apprehended
Muzzell at the Post-office, Gravesend, and having ox•
plsined the nature of the charge, he said, " Tis true,
Young gave me some stamps, which were far a debt."
Oe searching him, he found the letter produced,
which he said he had received that morning from the
other prisoner. The next day he took Young into
custody at 5, Mount-pleasant, Ramsgate, and on telling
him what it was fur, and the other had received stamps
from him, he said, " Well, that's your friend ;" and on
the superintendent of police asking if he had given the
stamps, he said, " I'm not going to answer that ques-
tion." He was then conveyed to town, and on the was
admitted that he had lived at Shepherd's-bush, and that
Mrs. Muzzell had been there to see him.
The prisoner Muzzell denied having ever had the notes
in his possession; and Young having reserved his de-
fence, they were fully committed to Newgate, bail being
refused for their appearance at the trial.
MARY LEBONE.
ROBBERY BY FEMALES AND CLEVER CAPTURE OF
THE GUILTY PARTIES.—Jane Jones, Mary Bryant,
and Charlotte Denby, were placed at the bar, before the
sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, charged with having
been concerned in stealing 41 yards of cotton print, the
property of Mr. Gear, 19, Seymour place, Camden-town.
Cloake, 85 S. a very active officer, deposed that, at
five on the previous afternoon, as he was on duty in
Park-street, he saw the prisoners watkine' together, and
perceived that Jones had something bulky concealed
beneath her cloak. He watched closely as far as High-
street, when Denby having called a cab, they all entered
'herein, when, just as the driver wit, about to close the
(lout, he (witness) went up and asked Jones what she
had got, to which she replied "Nettling." He lifted up
her cloak, and, on finding that she bad a roll of print,
questioned her as to how she became possesied of
and her reply was, "It is my own, and I shall not give
you any further information." Bryant and Denby sail
•hat the statement was correct, and that they saw her
purchase the goods. Wttness, after being threatened by
the prisoners that they would "muzzle" him it he did
not be off, at length forced his way into the cab, and by
his directions the driver of the vehic,'e made the best of
nis way to the Albanyestreet station-house, The pri-
soners were then locked up, and soon afterwards witness
ascertained hat the print belonged to Mr. Gear.
Other evidence was gone into, from which it appeared
that Bryant and Denby had a short time before the dis-
cevery of the rubbery gone to Mr. Gear's shop, at which
they bought a small quantity of blonde and edging, and
it was imagined that, while the assistant was engaged in
serving them, Jones had taken the opportunity of making
off with the print, which, with other articles, was placed
just within the doorway. It was missed shortly after
Bryant and Denby left.
'the MAGISTRATE observed that the conduct of' the
constable in the affair was highly creditable to him on
