pressed on our notice, tending still further to reduce
the number of the sites which we can venture to re-
commend.

practice just exposed, which was carried on to an
enormous extent opposite the Post- office.
The LORD MAYOR said this was a most serious
matter.of complaint, not only on account of the dis-
appointment so largely experienced by the public, but
on account of the great facilities afforded by the ex-
isting practice for the commission of robberies by
mere children. The temptation thrown in the way of
boys who were constantly employed by newspaper
agents in delivering the papers was most improper,
and it was quite time such a system was prevented.
The prisoner was then remanded.
Valeri Sulterkowski, the Pole, who was on Friday
charged before the Lord Mayor with having stabbed
a recruit of the Royal Artillery, named John Rock-
ley, in the foot with a knife, was brought up fur final
examination.

" The neighbourhood of the royal parks would
supply some of the above-mentioned requirements,
inasmuch as they would secure the gallery, at least
on one side, from the obstruction and inconvenience of
adjoining buildings.
" There are, however, objections to the vicinity of
Regent's-park on account of the clay soil, which is
thought to be unfavourable to the preservation of
pictures, and not to be selected while preferable situ-
tions can be obtained.

" The dry soil of Hyde-park and Kensington na-
turally attracted our attention.
' " These large open spaces not only afford a present
security against the inconveniences to which the gal-
lery is exposed, but they are the only grounds which
remain safe for future years amidst the growth of the
metropolis.
" From information which we have received we
believe that from 15 to 20 acres of land, with a front-
age to the park, might yet be obtained at a reasonable
price, which would afford a space for the construction
of a gallery on an eligible site.
"If the outlay necessary for such purpose be
deemed inexpedient, it appears to us that no eligible
site can be obtained except by appropriating for this
purpose a portion of Kensington-gardens.
" There is ample space for a gallery, and for any
future additions, on the side of the gardens adjoining
the Bayswater-road, as marked in the plan, and there
are at present no residences which would be injured
by the construction of such a building.
"These gardens are of such value for the health
and recreation of the inhabitants of the metropolis
that any interference with them, even for this impor-
tant national purpose, may be deemed objectionable.
It may be observed, however, that the adjoining gar-
dens would not only add to the beauty of the building
but would also increase the attractions of the gallery.
" The dryness of the soil and the comparative free-
dom from smoke would favour the preservation of the
pictures, while the distance from the more crowded
districts of the metropolis would be less felt on account
of the beauty of its approaches.
"There is another space marked on the plan as a
paddock between Kensington Palace and the Bays-
water-road, which also attracted our attention, but
the appropriation of this ground to the purpose of a
gallery would, although it is not within the boundary
of the gardens, necessitate the removal of many beau-
tiful trees, and interfere to a greater degree with
these grounds than the site previously mentioned.
" Between these two sites, therefore, we beg to
express our decided preference for the one already
referred to adjoining the Bayswater-road.

Criminal Court.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF AN OLD LADY.—Between the
hours of one and two o'clock on Sunday morning last
a daring attempt was made to force an entrance into
the cottage of an independent old lady, named Willis,
living near the Addlestone station, by two young men
named Collyer and Tovey, both of whom were shortly
afterwards apprehended by Police-constable Ayling,
No. 35 of the new county constabulary. On Monday
afternoon the prisoners were examined at the office of
Mr. Grazebrook, magistrates' clerk, at Chertsey, before
the Hon. Captain Cavendish, and fully committed for
trial. From the evidence taken it appeared that the
prosecutrix (wbo is upwards of 70 years of age) re-
tired to bed on Saturday night between the hours of
eight and nine o'clock, there being no person but
herself in the house, and she having previously
fastened the doors and shutters. During the night
she was awoke by the breaking of glass. She got
out of bed and went to the top of the stair-
case. She then saw a man looking through the
back bed-room window. She asked him what
he wanted there, and told hisa to go about
his business. She then saw another man, and both
of them tried the back door, saying, " Money they
wanted, and money they would have." Almost im-
mediately afterwards she heard them at the front
sitting-room window down stairs. They were en-
deavouring to cut through the shutters with a knife.
She tied a piece of string to the handle of the shutter,
which she held with her left hand, whilst with her
right she used a long iron candlestick to
prevent the knife coming through the shut-
ter. She then returned up stairs, and found
that they were trying to open the window over the
front door. This she prevented their doing, having
previously armed herself with a sword walking-stick.
She told the villains that if they eame in they should
have it. She also told them to recollect the Frimley
murder. She had previously thrown them out a
shilling and some bread and cheese from one of the
windows. She had recognised the features of one of
them (Collyer) to be those of her next door neighbour.
She said to Collyer, " Oh Tom, oh Tom, you worthless
boy." She then heard a scrambling noise, as if they
were running away. During the whole of this time the
constable above alluded to (Ayling), who had watched
the parties to the premises, had taken off his shoes,
and concealed himself in the garden. Tovey was ap-
prehended by him at the time, and Collyer about an
hour afterwards by the same constable. The pri-
soners contented themselves by a mere denial of the
charge, and were, as above stated, fully committed.
The old lady is in the receipt of an annuity, and had
taken her quarter's money on the previous Thursday,
a circumstance which, it is presumed, had come to the
knowledge of the rccused parties.—Sussex Express.

MORE THAN A CENTENARIAN.—AR elderly lady,
named Power, who is now in her 110th year. was sojourning
during the early part of this week, at the Clifton lintel. She
had just returned from visiting the Great Exhibition ! The
old lady appeared to be in excellent health and spirits.—

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 27.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evils's.)
IN RE FERNY AND GARD.

The bankrupts were woollenarapWsin St. Martin's-
lane. This was the last examination meeting.
Mr. DEFREE, for the assignees, complained of an
omission from the balance-sheet of 1001., but did not
see any advantage in adjourning the meeting; they
thought also the bankrupts' expenses were under esti-
mated.

The COMMISSIONER said he could allow the bank
runt to amend.

Mr. AsnunsT, for a creditor, said he had no desire
to press an adjournment, but thought it right that the
matter should come before his Honour.

After a short examination of Feeny by Mr.
AsnuasT, an amendment in the balance-sheet was
ordered. The following are the items in the balance-
sheet from April, 1849, to August, 1851 :—Creditors,
3,423/ ; liabilities on bills receivable, 6211.; liabili-
ties on bills for which they had not received conside-
ration, 164/. ; profits, 9111.; debtors, good, 570/. ;
cash and bill given up to assignees, 823/.; trade ex-
penses, 1,3831.; private expenses, 3541.; losses, 1,1511.
The bankrupts passed..

IN RE PAUL.

The bankrupt, J. Paul, of Oxford-street, milliner
and straw hat dealer, came up to pass his last exami-
nation.

The accounts from March, 1849, to August, 1851,
show the following :—Creditors, 2,6911.; ditto holding
security, 658/. ; liabilities, 125/. ; profits, 1,046/. ;
debtors, good, 129/. ; doubtful,. 68/. ; property, 991. ;
premium paid on lease of premises, 3501. ; repairs,
330/. ; trade expenses, 680/. ; rent and taxes, 371/. ;
interest and discount, 1981. ; law expenses, 93/. ; house
and personal, 1,0651.; losses, 7701.; deficiency 31st of
March, 1849, 2241.
Mr. POLLEN, for the assignees, asked for an ad-
journment. The bankrupt's expenditure had been
very great, by his keeping so many milliners in his
employ, and the assignees wanted an account of the
sales during the last six months.

Mr. LINK—LATER said, in justice to the bankrupt, he
must say that the books had been very accurately
kept, but he would not oppose the adjournment.
Adjournment ordered.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
William Moore, a boy 13 years old, was charged
before the Lord Mayor with having stolen news-
papers.
Mr. Phillips, from the office of Mr. Peacock, soli-
citor to the Post-office, attended on the part of that
establishment, in consequence of the vast number of
robberies committed in the neighbourhood by persons
employed by the newspaper agents. It appeared in
evidence that on the previous afternoon Knight, City
policeman 437, while on duty in Cheapside, saw the
prisoner, who was carrying a bag containing news-
papers over his shoulders, take one out and tear off
the direction and put it in his pocket. He then un-
folded the paper and put it under his arm. Witness
followed him to Honey-lane market, where he took
out another, tore off the direction and threw it on the
ground. The officer picked it up and followed him to
the Post-office, where the prisoner delivered the eon.
tents of the bag, and afterwards went to St. Martin's-
le-G-rand and sold the two papers. The officer then
' took him to the Bow-lane station, where he found on ,
him the other direction of the second paper, and an
ardor upon the bunking-house of Messrs. Glyn
and Co., addressed to Mr. Kiddell, for 201. 13s. 4d.,
which had been taken out of the post-box of Mr.
Kiddell, in Mark-lane, after the postman had
left it, no doubt by the prisoner, who served the
house with papers daily. The prisoner was in the
employ of Mr. Osborne, newspaper-dealer, of Change-
alley. Mr. Phillips said the Post-office was int.n-
dated with complaints from all parts of the country of
the non arrival of an immense number of newspapers,
which it was obvious did not arise from any neglect
mismanagenint at the Post-office, but from the

MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1851.

the road to a public-house, and after watching them
safely into it I started in pursuit of the prisoner
Tucker, whom I stopped and demanded what she had
in her apron, to which she replied, " Nothing," and
upon then asking her where the other two women
were whom I bad seen in her company only a few
t minutes before, she affected much surprise, and pro-
fessed not to know what I meant. I lost no time in
lodging her in the station, and on reaching it asked
her to open the apron she was holding with one hand
under her shawl, and the instant she did so two rolls of
lace, one cotton, the other silk, rolled down on the
floor. I asked her where she got them, and she said
she did not know, and on asking her how many yards
they contained respectively, she again acknowledged
she did not know. I then hastened off in the direc-
tion of the public-house I had seen the other two
women enter, but before I reached it met Homer and
Connell coming towards me. I stopped them, and
asked them where the third woman was I had seen
with them before, and Homer replied, " I don't know
what you mean." I said, "Oh yes, you do perfectly
well ; I saw you all three together a few minutes back
at Newington ;" and she replied, " Well, if you say
so you must, I suppose." One then described herself
as a milliner at Birmingham, from which she had only
come three days before to see the Exhibition, but the
other declined to give any address, upon the ground
that it might disgrace her friends, who were highly
respectable. I thereupon told them that they must
consider themselves in custody; and having taken
them to the station-house also, they were all three
examined by the female searcher, who discovered the
property produced upon them.
Harriette Kemp, the female searcher at the Kings-
land station, stated—About half-past eight o'clock
yesterday evening the three prisoners were brought to
the station-house in custody, and I was directed to
search them. I first searched Tucker, and upon her
I found, in addition to the lace before mentioned, the
thirteen pieces of silk and satin riband produced, a
roll of silk velvet, a pair of ladies' cashmere boots, a
quantity of black buttons, and a new pair of fancy
garters. Upon Connell I found the piece of worsted
lace produced, a piece of black net lace, a quantity
of tape, a pair of ladies' gloves, a money-purse con-
taining ls. 2d., and a cambric handkerchief; and upon
the third woman, Homer, I found a purse containing
4s. 6d. in silver, three halfpence in copper, and the
pair of gloves produced.
Francis Smith, shopman to the prosecutrix, Mrs.
Hunton, on his affirmation stated—About half-past 6
or 7 last night the prisoners Homer and Connell
entered our shop to examine some goods, and I saw
them looking at the black lace box, which was placed
on the counter before them for their inspection. The
piece of black cotton lace produced, containing 26
yards, and the roll of black silk lace produced, con-
taining 61 yards, I know to be our property, as I
saw the silk lace safe in its box in the morning, and
the other also in its box in the course of the afternoon.
The witness added that the robbery must have been
effected with great dexterity, as the property had not
been missed, and he had not the slightest idea that it
had been stolen until the detective officer called and
produced it before him.

- On being called upon for their defence the prisoners
who bad listened to the evidence against them with
the greatest composure and indifference, declined
saying anything in answer to the charge, and 'they
were ordered to be remanded until Friday next, to
give the police an opportunity of tracing the owners
of the rest of the property discovered upon them.
CLEI?KEIV WELL.
Three most ruffianly-looking, strong-built young
fellows, named Snow, James, and Powell, were placed
at the bar, charged with a murderous assault, with
intent to rob Mr. James William Blackwell, a gentle-
man residing at 3, Percival-street, Clerkenwell.
The prisoners were captured by Wright and Scho-
field, two very meritorious officers of the G division,
who, no doubt, saved the prosecutor's life.
Mr. Blackwell, whose person exhibited evidence of
severe violence, deposed that at midnight he was on his
way home, near the Lower-road, Islington, when he
was stopped by one of the prisoners, who asked him
for alms. He gave him some copper money and went
on, but had not proceeded many yards when he was
assailed by the three fellows in custody, and knocked
down, the ruffians then endeavouring to strangle and
plunder him. He struggled with them, receiving at
the time many severe kicks and blows, which severely
bruised and lacerated him, and he must have fallen a
victim to their violence had it not been for the arrival
of the officers, who succeeded, after a considerable and
daring resistance, in apprehending the ruffians.
Several constables recognised the prisoners as be-
longing to a most daring band of thieves who were the
terror of the neighbourhood where the offence was
committed.

APPOINTMENTS.

The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate
For trial.

GREENWICH.
Three persons of the names of Stonehouse, Isaiah
Lucas, and Stephen Lucas, connected with provincial
newspapers as reporters, were charged at the Green-
wich police-court with using insulting language to
Dr. C. W. Moore, one of the poor law guardians of
the Greenwich Union, at a meeting of the guardians
in the workhouse on the 15th of September.
Stonehouse and Isaiah Lucas denied having used
the words imputed to them, and Stephen Lucas ad-
mitted that the words were used by him.
The MAGISTRATE accordingly discharged the two
former, and bound the last-named in his own recog-
nisances of 401. to keep the peace for six months.

payment to prevent those who might have been so
inclined spending all they had to get at once, or be
deprived of a large portion of it when under the influ-
ence of drink.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 27.—A most inactive feeling has
continued to prevail in the trade throughout the week.
Flour has been much pressed for sale, and low and irre-
gular prices were consequently in some instances sub-
mitted to, whilst oatmeal, being in more plentiful supply,
was taken less freely, at reduced rates. The arrivals of
oats and oatmeal from Ireland at Liverpool exhibit a
steady increase, amounting this week to 3,256 quarters
of the former and 6,806 loads of the latter, but of other
articles they are extremely limited. Coastwise, with the
exception of about 1,000 quarters of malt, there are no
supplies worth naming; but from abroad the imports of
wheat, beans, and Indian corn are to a fair extent, and
large of flour—namely, about 7,000 sacks of French and
70,000 barrels of States and Canadian. At our market
this morning somewhat more firmness was manifested as
regards wheat and flour, and although the amount of
business passing in these articles was on the whole only
to a moderate extent, there was less anxiety to sell on
the terms which would have been accepted during the
week. New oats must be noted the turn cheaper, and
oatmeal, of which more liberal supplies were offering,
receded in value fully 2a per load.
NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 27.—The reductions submitted
to in our market during three successive weeks had a
similar effect upon the markets at Worksop, Retford,
Mansfield, and Newark. At the corn exchange in the
town last named, on Wednesday, there was greater ac-
tivity than for some time past, although upon the exten-
sive supplies there was a further reduction in value. In
wheat, which continues to be presented in good condi-
tion, there was a fall of Is. per quarter as compared
' with the Wednesday previous. Malting operations have
partially commenced in this district, which is an old
and very considtrable business in the town and neigh-
bourhood. Samples were moderately plentiful, at a re-
duction of is a quarter. The business in oats and beans
was again but nominal. We have had a very small
attendance of farmers at our own market to-day, and
much less wheat offering than for the last two or three
weeks. The millers being more induced to buy, last
week's prices were readily made, and in some instances
for fine samples an advance of is per quarter was ob-
tained. Barley was offered at a decline of is per quar-
ter, without leading to much business. In oats and
beans no alteration. Wheat, white 38s to 41s, red 35s
to 38s. Barley 22s to 255.

GLOUCESTER, SEPT. 27.—The supply of English
wheat continues good, but the recent decline is main-
