BOW-STREET.---(THIS DAY.)

Charles Pittock, a stationer, of Grafton-street, Soho, ap-
peared before Sir F. A. ROE and the Rev. Mr. THURSLEY,
upon a summons charging him with selling certain num-
bers of •an unstamped publication, called " The People's
Police Gazette," which was alleged to contain the news of
the day.
A solicitor appeared for the defendant, and stated that
proceedings had been had against the printer and publisher
of the same paper in the Court of Exchequer, where
a verdict had been returned for the Crown ; but
'leave was given to the defendant to move for a new
trial. As that was only the first day of term, that
motion had not yet been made ; therefore the question
was, as it were, yet in abeyance. As the meritsof thepresent
case were precisely the same as that, he trusted it would
not be pressed till after Saturday, when the decision of the
Court would be known.
Mr. Tilsley, who appeared for the stamp-office, said that
the prosecution was against the printer and publisher, and
was not in any way connected with the present case.
Sir F. ROE said, that unless the case was clearly proved
before him—if he had any doubts upon it after hearing the
evidence—he would not decide upon it until after Sa-
turday.
J. Wakley was then sworn, and deposed, that, on
the 29th of March, and the sth of April, he went to the
defendants, and on each day bought a copy of the " People's
Police Gazette." They both contained news—the occur-
rences of the day. They were not stamped. The second
paper he bought from the defendant himself.
The paper was then laid before the magistrates.
Defendant's solicitor denied that they were at all exposed
for sale, and asked the witness whether they were in the
window.

Witness said no, but they were lying on the counter.
Sir F. ROE said it made no difference —he
could not entertain any doubt in the case—the charge
was clearly proved, and he must convict. But, as pro-
bably the defendant mas not provided with the money, or
as he might wish to appeal, he had no objection to allow
the matter to stand over for a short time.

The defendant was then fined . in the mitigated penalty
of 51.

The defendant's solicitor said it was a hard case, for the
defendant was the last to sell the paper, and would not do
so till he had gone to the proprietors upon the matter. He
sold it under the firm conviction that he was not infringing
any law.
Air. Tilswell hoped not only the defendant but others
would take warning now, for the sale of such papers had
got to such a pitch that it was the full intention of the
commissioners to proceed in every case they could lay
hold on, which they considered was their imperative duty.
He had no wish to press for a heavy penalty.
John Clements, a newsman, of 21 & 22, Little Pulteney-
street, was then convicted of the same offence, and fined
in the same penalty. He applied for a remission of the
fine, but Sir F. ROE said it was impossible that such a
system could be allowed to go on,—it was very unfair
towards the proprietors of those papers which paid the
stamp duty. He was determined to assist in putting an
end to the system altogether.
A little before 3 o'clock both defendants paid their
penalties and were discharged. '

Several engagements took place in the Basque pro-

the Carlist chiefs and the Queen's generals, and victory
was chaunted in both camps.
By the express from Paris, a telegraphic despatch was
received at Paris, dated Lyons, April 12, eleven o'clock at
night, to the following purport :—" Lyons is free, the
suburbs occupied by the insurgents are now in our power ;
the communications are everywhere re-established."
The mails have gone off this evening. The Anarchists
are in the greatest disorder.______

THE FUNDS.
In consequence of the very favourable news from Portu-
gal, received yesterday, the above Stock has improved to
71 to 1,4, but at
_present may be quoted 71. Spanish has
also got up to 32% 33, in consequence of a report that a
certain great capitalist is going to Paris to contract for the
Spanish Loan.
We are hourly in expectation of a fresh arrival from Lis-
bon, and we should not be surprised to hear of a negotia-
tion being entered into between the two brothers, under
the influence of England and France, as Don Miguel will
soon find himself deprived of all resources.
We have no ship letters from any quarter as yet.
This is settling day in the Foreign Market.
