MANSION•HOUSE.

ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—A thin, diminutive man, dress-
ed in a fustian suit of clothes, who gave his name as
Thomas James, 30 years of age, and a weaver by trade,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Wire,
charged with attempting to destroy himself by throwing
himself over London.bridge.
Thomas Turner deposed that he was sitting in one
of the recesses of London-bridge last night about a
quarter to twelve o'clock, when he saw the prisoner cross
the bridge in a very suspicions mariner, and begin to
run. Witness followed him and saw him jump on the
parapet, but before he could throw himself over into
the water witness came up t I him and seized him by
the collar, and succeeded in holding him until a police-
man came up. The prisoner, who was much excited,
and evidently bent on a cooler, struggled very much to
rid himself of the grasp of the witness and the policeman,
but they ultimately succeeded in getting him to the right
side of the parapet, and then conveyed him to the
station-house.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he bad no
home nor any work, and that he was in great distress.
He thought it very hard that being a young man he
could get no employment.
Alderman Wire—lf I let you go will you give me
your solemn promise that you will not attempt your
life again ?

Prisoner—l should like to have your worship's
opinion if a young man like me ought to be slit up in
a workhouse and be unable to get work when I think
1 ought to have plenty?
Mr. Alderman Wire—Every man can get work if be
wishes. I den't believe in those who go about day after
day saying they can get no work. I believe in a ma-
jority of instances it is their own fault that they have
no employment.

The prisoner refusing to give the required promise,
was remanded for a week.

GUILDHALL.
ANARTFUL DODGER.--George Williams, a lad and
crippled, was placod at the bar, before Sir J. Mu4grove,
charged with being concerned, with other boys not in
custody, with robbery from- the person and stealing a
purse containing 16s. 6d.

A young lady, named Dare, deposed that she
was passing through Smithfield, about the middle
of the day, when she was suddenly surrounded
by a number of ragged and filthy little boys. who
impeded her progress, -and whilst so surround.
ed, one of them turned her pocket inside out,
and took out her purse, containing 16s. 6d., which he
passed to the prisoner, when they all ran off. She fol-
lowed the prisoner until he was stopped by a gentleman,
when she gave him into custody, but on searching him
neither the money nor the purse was found. The purse
and money were subsequently picked up near where the
young lady was robbed.
Leonard, one of the the detectives, said that the pri-
Boner had gained his livelihood this way for the last two
or three years. His mode of operation was to stand at
a short distance from his companions, and when they
succeeded in picking a lady or gentleman's pocket, to
make up to them and receive the produce as they passed
him, and from bang a cripple was not suspected of being
in league with the thief and his other companions. As
a matter of course, if either of the other boys was appre-
hended, no stolen property was found on him.
The prisoner was committed to Holloway for three
months and hard labour.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Increased supplies of English wheat have come to hand
since Monday, and the show of samples to-day was season-
ably good. For all kinds we had a very dull trade, and
prices are the turn in favour of buyers. Upwards of
27,000 qrs. of foreign wheat have come to hand this week.
Even the finest parcels were very dull, and to have effected
sales town rates must have been submitted to.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull.
Barley and malt realised full prices, with a moderate
demand.

We were extensively supplied with oats, which moved
off slowly, at a decline of fully 6d per qr.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, at barely late rates.
