SERIOUS P(ST•OFFICE FRAUDS.

The county magistrates acting for the Bath division °f
Somerset were engaged for some time on Saturday in in;
vestigating charges preferred against the keepers of tlra.
post receiving-offices, by Mr. Ramsay, the I neeectei Ge..%
ral of the Post-office. The first case was against Se"'
Corp, who acted as post-mistrees at the Westh I teceivil?g,:
office, at Weston, near Bath and who was chs ged
stealing a post-tetter beionging to her nesjeaty a roi!_
master-General. Mr. Sack, solicitor, appeared for el
prisoner, who was a respectable-looking woman, 941.4
from her faint state was accommodated with a chair.
appears that for some time past the Post-office authoriteri
have been aware of an extensive syst m beingo
e miliele."
f.
on of affixing postage stamps that have previus;
been used. With the view of detecting the offenders, •
Nix. Mollie, Assistant-inspector to the Poet-o :er
1•0/
on the 12th instant, made up a letter, which ..i .j
dressed to " Willtat,, Black, seaman, on board 11.52•,
Skylark, Black Sea Peet," an 1 this letter was takeP
-0. • it
a young woman, a servant to Mr. Pryor, chief ner
the Bath office, to the Wrsthall receiving-offil
where she gave the prisoner 3 and requested
to affix three stamps to the letter. The prisoner "er
peered to do so ; but on the bag arriving at tr:
Bath office in the evening, and search being made for wi •
"trap" letter, to see if it had proper stamps upon it, ~'
such letter could be found. On the 17th soothl3e'
letter, similarly addressed, was sent by the same tet
senger ; but that, also, -was missing from the bag in t"'"
evening. Accordingly, on the next day Mr. Mouiet
with Police-iuspector Norris, went to the prisoner'shoteleo
and, 3n acquainting her with the object of their visit, lb!,
took the " trap" letter of the previ .us day from a sheht
and said she did not forward it, as she had no ststfw„P6'.
The previous letter she said she had sent to anothtirP,P,',, ~
ceiling-house for the same reason. The " Mier
showed, however, that en the 17th of March she w'
•in posseseien of 1/ worth of stamps. On being searched°
letter, addressed to " Mrs. Cormack, Apeley-hcw*„
Bath," was found in the prieoner'e pocket, opened ;1!;,,
newspapers were discovered in the kitchen, addressen"• ,
• h
a reverend gentlemaiein North America one I,o—
upon it, which; in Mr. Moule'e opinion, bad been
used before ; and the other: presenting the appealll„
of a stamp having been taken from it. A numb..rAL,
copies of the Illustrated News were also found, with bs-•
top margin of the first pages broken offe The rrioner•
was committed to take her trial at the next assizes
the charge of stealing the letter. thle
The next case was against Louisa Belson, keeper r sun •,
receiving-office in the village Twerton, near Bath, we':
was charged with using old postage stamps. On 011010" r:
mg the Twerton bags, on the 13th and 19th jest.,
Moule found a letter on each occasion bearing a petite
stamp that bad previously been used. It was proveil,i!
each case that the letters had been posted.by.parties
had paid the defendant the money, and requested 13."
to affix stamps to the letters. 'The defendant had ren.
dered herself liable to a penalty of. 201. in each eat ~
Mr. Ramsay raid he could multiply the cases, but PY
only wished for one conviction, and did not press for/
the penalty. Col. Blatt' wayte, in giving the decittin %
the magistrates, remarked that cheap postage 11650,
ereat boon to the public, and it became every reefs •

hench were titling to act .tong the suggestion of
Ramsay, as the defendant bore a very good chatlC.`
ter, but she must pay a fine of 51 and costs. Mr. gam
say said, ae the defendant bad been some years in the
service, and the office would now be removed from bet
bowie, he should- be satisfied with a further
ef tee penalty. The nmeistrates accordingly tnieigete.t

CITY, Two o'CLooss
The Liverpool Cotton Market has shown rather
More animation, but at the close of business yes-
terday prices remained unchanged. The sales
consisted of 10,000 bales-1,000 for export and
2,000 on speculation, amounting to 6,000 Ameri-
e•an, at various prices ; 2,300 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 6td. to 7d. ; 200 Bahia, 6d. to 6d. ; 250
Egyptian, 6d. to 9d. ; 800 Surat, 4td. to 42d. ;
and 200 Sea Islands, Is. to ls. 9d. per lb. The
itnports since Thursday have been 30,000 bales.
The Railway Share Market ruled very quiet, and
Previous prices were barely maintained.
The state of trade at the chief seats of commerce
throughout France during the past week shows
that entire confidence in the re-establishment of
peace is not yet entertained. At Paris purchasers
for the provinces are watching the course of events
liith circumspection, and waiting for the official
announcement of the treaty being signed, before
they complete their assortment of goods. Mer-
chants and manufacturers are quiet, but ready at
?...nce to proceed in their operations with vigour.
-Leer sometime they have been limited in their
'transactions on the account of the high rate of
,discount charged by the Bank of France, and
it' is expected that the directors will reduce it
shortly. During the week the manufacturers
rebeived some important foreign brders. Amongst
the buyers in the market are several for
Spanish and American houses, but the amounts do
11'4 suffice to materially increase the ordinary
Tniinesa of the season. The retail dealers and
shopkeepers are doing a limited business in the
dual novelties of the spring season, on account of
the continued coldness of the weather, but they
lire) nevertheless, prepared to meet the demand
'which is expected shortly to arise. The great
affair of the Transatlantic Steam Company has
again been brough't forward. The Companies have
411 t in their replies to the Government, and
ilerYthing was in favourable training for a suc-
;aqui issue, but the recent announcement on the
Bourse that no shares in new projects will be
illlOwed this year, has retarded the concession.
,The Emma arrived yesterday with 41,917 ounces
a! gold, valued at 167,6681. Several other vessels
are daily expected with further sums, so that the
ti°clE of • bullion at the Bank of Eugland,will, no
,°tlht, be much augmented, as the deinaud for the
`-eatinent has nearly ceased.
ei;The election of the Committee of the Stock Ex-
kange, as usual on Lady-day, is absorbing the
e lef attention of the dealers and others ; business„
4both, real and speculative, still being very dull.
43arcely any change has occurred in the quotations
4tnl the firmness noticed yesterday afternoon
cik)uatinues. Rather increased ease is observ-
de in the discount market, owing, in some
measure to the arrivals of gold from Australia. On
Saturday next further instalments are due on the
Nee Loan and Funding of Exchequer Bills, and as
r°rieion will also have to be made for the liquida-
-44 of the commercial bills payable on the 4th

t:4 'lease of the principal Railway Shares there is
aeht: firmness, but the market exhibits a quiet
IZet. Chester and Holyhead are in favour, and
Isiolircaahire. and Yorkshire, North British and
littlet4:astern Berwick are firmer. There is very

THE SON LONDON. TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH '‘,s__lBs6.

EASTER AMUSEMENTS.

the author's happiest productions. The theatre was com-
fortably tilled, and the inauguration night of the new
management promised well fur the future.

SURREY.

Mr. Henry Mayliew's well-known series of sketches,
biographies, and statisdee has been selected by the dra-
matist of this theatre as the basis of the Easter novelty.
The title of the new piece is, "How we live in the wnila
of London," and is presented in the form of a three-act
drama. It is a modern version of "Torn and Jerry," in-
troducing characters in low life—costermor gers, match-
sellers, hawkers, dog-stealers, pickpockets, et hoc genus
°Mlle, whose peculiarities are brought out in the progress
of a sort of melodrama, the principal characters of which
avail theinselvee of the services of these representatives of
the sgveral grades of London low life, on the one side, to
flu ther the purposes of villainy, and, on the other, to
thwart them. The plot appears to turn upon the adven-
tures of a certain Sir Jasper Steelhard, who, having mar-
, rind a woman he adored, and finding her afterwards faith-
lees, pursues her with unrelenting vengeance until she is
driven to the streets for• a ; but, by ROIIIC one of
those inexplicable and mysterious agencies which occur
only in Surrey melodramas, his son is stolen, becenies
houseless wanderer and a rag,ged-echool boy, and, by
I • •
equally extraordinary means, manages to prevent the com-
mission of some additions to the catalogue of crime his
parent has to mourn for, and at length to be just in time
to witness the consummation of the respectable gentleman's
last chine, the murder of a pettifogging attorney, who had
been his instrument, but who was endeavouring to conceal
from him the evidence of his son's birth, in the written
confession of a Hindno beggar, by whom the young gentle-
man had in his infancy been stolen. There is a peculiarity
about the drama which, as far as our recollection goes, is
certainly not drawn from Mr. Mayhew's book—that is, all
the London low-life characters, costertnongers, street boys
women of the town, Hindoo traot-ssllers, aresentimentally
honest, scorning to accept a sixpence for which they do not
give the very extreme value, either in goods or labour, and
with high moral principle continually iu their months and
i❑ their actions Even a dog-stealer, returned convict, and
attempted murderer, is made to moralise and exhibit, in
words at least, something like an abhorrence of crime,
though he is ever ready -to commit it for a " considera-
tion," his doctrine being, probably, that as crime is his vo•
cation, he has a right to live by it. The acting was in
general good, especially that of Mr. Rickards, as Sir Jas-
per Steelbard, the villain of the piece, who playa L a very
difficult part with much discretion. Mr. Widdiemnb, as
Joe Brent, the sentimental and ultra-honest costermonger,
was as amusing and as broad as he always is. There is
some very effective scenery; amongst which may be no-
ticed Covent-garden Market by gaslight ; the dark arches
under the Adelphi, with the Thames and Goding's Brewery
in the distance; and the burning of a private distillery
wherein Sir Jasper, having committed the murder, perishes
in the tire. Mr. Shepherd announced the piece for repeti-
tion amidst general applause.
