DIST/MIRING CASE.—SLOP WoRKING.— Elizabeth
Collis, a b valid looking woman with a child in her arms,
was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with illegally
pawning the materials for 8 shirts entrusted to her to
make up by a Jew named Alexander Abrahams, a
" shirt factor," of No. 31, New-road, Whited:lapel.
The prosecutor, who entered the witness-box in great
haste, said that he entrusted the prisoner with the ma-
terial of 8 shirts to be made up. She had not returned
them, and he discovered they were pawned. Last night
he gave the prisoner into custody.
William 13,-mty, No. 73 If, said he took the prisoner
into custody in Capel street, %V hitecbapel, in the prose
cutor's shop. The prisoner said it he went borne with her
she would give up the tickets of the materials,
and did so. Another woman gave him three other
duplicates, relating to shirts which had been pawned.
The prisoner said she pawned the goods because she
was in distress.

Mr. Yardley said the prosecutor gave hie evidence in
a very jaunty manner, and in a way that he did not

like at all. Ho wi.4lied that pawnbrokers would not
take in slop work of the poor and wretched women in-
trusted with materials. An immense deal of misery was
caused by the practice. He would advise the prisoner
to see her husband, and ask him to redeem th' shirts
from the pawnbrokers, and there would be an end of the
matter.

The prisoner said her husband was quite unable to do
so, and was very poor. _ .

Mr. Yardley said he should remand the prisoner until
to-morrow, when the case must be completed. He asked
.he age of the prisoner's child.

Roche, the gaoler—She says it is 18 months old. It
still sucking at the breast.

Mr. Yardley—l must order that child to be taken
from you. I don't know what the consequences may be,
but I am compelled by the rules and regulations of the
prison you are going to to take it from you.
The prisoner begged that she might not be deprived
of her infant.

Mr. Yardley—ls there any one here who will take
care of it /

The Pi isoner —No, sir.

Mr. Yardley—The police constable must convey the
child to the workhouse.

The child having been taken from the prisoner she
was locked up in the cell of the police court. Half an
hour afterwards Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said all
the shirts had been restored to the prosecutor by the
pawnbroker, and Mr. Yardley ordered the prisoner t•
be discharged.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Rather increased supplies of English wheat have been
reseived up to our market this week coastwise; but the
show of samples in to-day's market was very moderate.
For all kinds we had a dull inquiry, and Monday's prices
were with difficulty supported.
Over 30,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand
this week. There was scarcely any demand for this article,
the value of which was almost nominal.
The barley trade ruled heavy, at Monday's currency.
The malt trade was very dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.
Fine old oats sold slowly, at late rates ; but new quali-
ties were very dull, and quite 6d per qr lower.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

His youngest sister, the Princess Cecilia, who is hardly
17 years of age, is going to be varried to the Grand
Duke Michael, brother to the Emperor of Russia, Alex-
ander 11., and she has been already betrothed to him.
The Grand Duke Michael is the youngest son of the
Emperor Nicholas, and the only one not married. Like
his brothers, he takes his wife from a German house;
these sorts of alliances have become habitual with the
imperial Russian family, which is already united by strict
bonds with the house of Prussia, the royal house •of
Wurtemberg, an old and illustrious house, with different
branches of the house of Saxony, with the houses of Iles.
sia, Oldenburg, Mecklenburg, and Nassau. It is well
known that the princes and princesses who marry into
the imperial house of Russia, and have to reside in St.
Petersburg, have to learn the Russian language and adopt
the Greek Catholic religion. This condition obliges
them to submit to a supplementary education. This is
what the young Princess Cecilia of Baden is doing at this
moment, and it is what retards her marriage. They
wait until she has been sufficiently instructed to speak
to the Russians in their national language and profess
the national religion with a safe conscience. The Grand
Duke Michael is 24 years old.
The Doke of Ostrogothland, born on the 21st of Jan.,
1829, is the second son of the reigning King of Sweden,
the grandson accordingly of King John .Broadotte, a
marshal of the French empire by the promotion of
1804. The Duke of Ostrogothland is about to marry
the Princess SUpbia of Nassau, wh9 was born on the 9tb
July, 1836. This princess is the youngest sister of
Adolphus, the reigning Duke of Nassau, but Duke
Adolphus and the Princess Sophia are not born of the
same mother. By her mother, the Princess Sophia
descended from the royal. house of Wurtemburg, and
related to the imperial family of Russia. It is not the
first time that the young dynasty of King Bernadotte
has formed an alliance with the ancient house of Nassau.
Prince Charles of Sweden, eldest son of King Oscar,
Prince R 'pal, heir presumptive to the clowns of
Sweden and Norway, mauled in .1850 the Princess
Wilhelmina of Orange-Nassau, the daughter of Prince
Fre lerick, uncle to Witham 111., the reigning King of
the Netherlands. By the-et a fiances the royal family of
Sweden draws nearer to the sovereign houses of Northern
Europe, and strengthens its establishment on the throne

The two Princesses Anne and Margaret of Saxony,
daughters of King John, were betrothed almost at tne
same time—the furmer to the Archduke Ferdinand,
Hereditary Grand Duke of Tuscany, and son of the reign-
ing Grand Duke Leopold 11. ; the latter to the Arch-
duke Charles Lewis of Austria, second brother of the
reigning Emperor Francis Joseph. The Princess Anne

February, 1855, she has juss been married again to
the Chevalier Rapallo, a captain of infantry in the
Sardinian army, The Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany,
the future husband of the Princess Anne, is by his mo-
ther Marie Antoinette of B Jurbod, the grandam of the
late Francis I , King of the Two Sicilies, nephew of the
reigning King Ferdinand 11. of Naples, and grand-
nephew of the queen Marie-Arnelie, widow of Louis
Philippe. Tne Duchess of Berry and the Queen Maria
Coristina ttf Spain are his aunts. Tnis young prince
arrived at Paris, from Loud 'n, in the latter part of
Oc-
tober. We learn, by the Monaco. of Oct. 30, that he
repaired to the Palace of Compiegne, where he arrived
ui Tuesday, the 28th. The Archduke Charles Lewis
of Austria is also a very near relative of the royal house
of Naples • his father, the .Archduke Francis Charles,
who should have been Emperor of Austria in 1848. after
the abdication of his elder brother, the Emperor Ferdi•

favour of hia eldest son Francis Joseph—his father, we

DESTRUCTION OF A BRIODY FIRE.—:-The brig Forrester,
Capt. Aini,s, of Sunderland, fr .m St. Petersburg, -with'.
a cargo of dfats, while lying at "anciior on ToesdaV
merniug.in the rimer, in Low Reach, was disomiered to
be on fire. The crew; finding they were unsuie /o ex
tingui.ib the flames (the fire, it was supposed, was
caused through the overheating of the cabin flue), slip-
ped her anchor and drifted h.r down with the ebb tide
as far as Northfleet, wnere she was put on a bank on
the Essex shore, with the object of scuttling her at the
flood ; 'this, however, had not the desired effect, frit
high water she was not covered, and as thb tide receded
the fire gained the ascendancy, and by Wednesday even-
ing the brig was burner' down to the water's e ige.
The crew was saved, but lost all their clothes.
