Although the supply of beasts F
on oflamer in to-day's market
was small, even the time of year considered, it was quite
equal to the demand, which ruled very inactive at Monday's
prices. There was rather a material increase in the number
of Sheep. Prime old Downs, in the wool, sold at full cur-
rencies, viz , from 4s 6d to 45 8d per Sibs. In other breeds
only a limited business was transacted at late rates. Lambs,
the supply of which was on the increase, met a fair inquiry
at full prices. From the Isle of Wight 40 came to hand per
railway. In Calves and Pigs very little was doing, but we
have no change to notice in their value. Mulch Cows were
very dull, at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small Calf.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS I)AY•)
(Before Sir J. K. Bnuca.)
do business of importance was brought before his rionont
.his morning.

MARLBRO'-STREE T—(THIS DAY.)
CHARGE OF FRAUD.— irillianz H. Douglas, alias Captain
Douglas, with Arthur Douglas and Charles Lionel Doug
las.
his two sons, were brought before Mr. Hardwick fit final
examination, charged with having defrauded several trades-
men of property to a large amount.
There was no additional evidence to that which has
alread appeared in this journal, with the exceptio of that
of the y constable w: o took the elder Douglas into n custody.
The following is the evidence alluded to :
Sergeant Allen, an active and intelligent officer, of the 13
division, stated that some time ago the elder prisoner wrote a
begging-letter to a clergyman in the country, who in return
wrote to the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of 47, Chester-square, in
whose district the prisoner resides, to inquire into the character
of Captain Douglas. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton sent a message
to the prisoner, requesting him to call upon him. Douglas
not venturing to show himself in public, sent the note pro-
duced by Mrs. Douglas, stating his inability to leave the
house in consequence of illness. Mr. Hamilton then proposed
to call on the following morning. Instead of doing so, the
Reverend Gentleman communicated with witness at the sta-
tion, and handed him the letter he Lad received from the
prisoner, and on the morning of the 14th inst. witness at-
tired himself in the garb of a clergyman, and repaired to the
residence of Douglas, No. 6, Belgrave-terrace, Pimlico, and
knocked at the door, which was opened by a female servant.
As soon as she saw witness, she said, " Oh, you are the
gentleman my master has been expecting ; please to
walk in." Witness was then shown into the parlour
to the elder prisoner, who was lying on a wretched straw
bed apparently in great pain. Witness asked the prisoner
if he was Charles Douglas? He replied in the aermative,
and said, " You are the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, I presume.'
Witness said " No I am not; I am a police-constable, and
you must consider yourself in my custody." The prisoner
then called out to his wife in the next room, " I am be.
trayed—l am betrayed—l am in custody ! This is a
police officer, and not the Reverend Mr. Hamilton.'
He then turned to witness and said, " I cannot
help it; I give you credit, officer, perhaps I should
have done the same were I in your position." Wit-
ness then took him to the station. Allen added that al-
though the lower part of the house appeared to be miserably
furnished, the upper part was furnished with every comfort.
The depositions were then read over, and the whole of
the prisoners were committed for trial.
COURT OF CHANCERY, FRIDAY.--This morning on
the opening of the Court, Sir John Romilly attended by the
Masters of the High Court of Chancery and of the Petty Bag
office, came in before the Lord Chancellor, and took the
usual oaths as Master of the Rolls. His Honour, wkunder-
stand, will sit immediately after the Easter vacation.
NORFOLK RAILWAY.—We understand that Mr.
Peto has, at the urgent request of his colleagues, accepted
the chairmanship of this company for the present.
The first manufactory for spinning by machinery
in Austria has just been founded at a placed called Eipel, on
the frontier of Bohemia and Silesia.
LORD MONCRIEFF.—We regret to learn that the
state of Lord Moncrieff's health is still very unsatisfactory
His Lordship rallied considerably towards the close of last
week,o and on Sunday be was again somewhat worse.--
