THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY

FRAUDS.

CLERKEN WE L L-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the prisoners, Leopold Redpath and
James Charles Comyn Kent, charged with fraud and
forgery en the Great Northern Railway Company, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, who sat for Mr.
TyrWhitt, who was unable to attend in consequence of
indisposition. After hearing evidence of a formal cha-
racter, the prisoners were again remanded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MORE SKITTLE-SHARPING. —Andrew Cochrane and
Charles Davis, two sharp-looking young fellows, were
brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with conspiring
together to defraud George Bezel-, of 71. Bs., at the
Thistle and Crown, Thomas-street, Oxford-street.

The prosecutor, an exceedingly dull and stupid German,
whose evidence was interpreted to the Court by Mr.
Albert, the interpreter, stated that on the 22d inst. be
was proceeding along Oxford-street for amusement,
having nothing to do, and rejoicing in the possession of
7/. Bs., when the defendants came up to him, and after
passing the usual compliments about the weather, &c.,
invited him to partake of some refreshment at their ex-
pense. Ho thanked them for their politeness,
and accompanied them to the Thistle and Crown,
where they had some ale, which the defendants per-
sisted in paying for. After that they adjourned to the
skittle-ground, where the prisoner Davis bet him a shil-
ling that the ball was stone, and not wood. Witness bet
the money and wen it. Davis then expressed a wish to
play Cochrane, whom he called a " flat," but as be had
not the money to play with he asked witness to lend him
some on condition that he should have half of the win-
nings. He accordingly gave him al., which he speedily
lost. Witness was then induced to give him 4/. Bs., and
Cochrane covered the amount with several pieces of coin
resembling sovereigns. This game Cochrane also won,
and pocketed the money, and before witness could re-
cover from his astonishment the prisoners quickly walked
off, and prosecutor saw no more of the prisoners until
night when he gave them into custody.
Mr. Bingham said the case did not come within his
jurisdiction, complainant must go the County Court, for
it was a matter of debt and not robbery. He lent the
money to Davis, and no doubt that person would give
him his address, so that he could sue him for the amount.
The prisoners must therefore be discharged.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 27.

The Philadelphia screw steamship Kangaroo,
Ewing commander, has arrived, with advices from
New York to the 12th inst.
The North, American and United States Gazette
of Philadelphia comments on the election of Mr.
Buchanan, and states that if he does not adopt
moderate measures, which do not assail those prin-
ciples which lie at the bottom of the United States
Government, and the foundation of all civilisation,
he will be swept away with a power that cannot
be resisted.

The steamer Superior, from Chicago, had not
been heard of.

Eighteen inches of snow had fallen at Ontario on
he 30th of October.

Advices at New Orleans by the Tennessee report
from Nicaragua that General Walker had appointed
Fermin Ferris, a native Nicaraguan, as Minister
from that country to the United States.
The prospects of General Walker at Nicaragua
were highly flattering, and large accessions to his
forces had been made both from New York and
New Orleans. A number of recruits had also joined
his army from California. There has, however,
been no further fighting, and it was the general
impression that a proclamation of peace would be
issued at no distant day.
The steamship Black Warrior had arrived at
New Orleans with advices from Havannah to the
21 instant.

Preparations for the armed invasion of Mexico
were being actively made there. The island was
perfectly healthy and quiet.
The sugar crop will be very large.
Exchange on the United States, 10 per cent. die.
Freights low and inactive.
It was reported that the Spanish brig of war
Habanero, with 6,000 stand of arms, had sailed
from Havannah to support the insurrectionists,
excited by the Spanish authorities against the
libery of the Dominican Republic.
In the New York money market the demand
continued active, with a full supply offering. Call
loans, 7 per cent. ; discounts, 9 to 12 per cent. fur
first and second-class signatures ; occasionally very
choice paper at 8 per cent. Exchange, 109 to 1091
for bankers' sterling, and 5 22i to 5 181 on Paris.
The stock market had improved ; cotton in favour
of buyers, with demand moderate. Flour sc. to
10c. better for common and medium grades.
Wheat, with a good export demand, Ic. to 2c.
better. Pork continued depressed, at a decline of
50c. to 75c. on mess, and 25c. on prime, with a
limited inquiry. Cut meats inactive. Lard in
better demand.
Freights firmer, at 9d. to 91d. for corn, and
5-32 d. to 3-16 d. for cotton to Liverpool.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12.
The cotton market is easier, but quotations un-
changed ; middling, 111 c. to 11ic.

VIE TRAGEDY AT CROYDON.

CROYDON, THURSDAY NIGHT.
Up to a late hour this evening the unfortunate Mrs.
Belton bad not expired, but not the slightest hopes are
entertained of her recovery. The whole of the back part
of her head is battered in by the force of the blow. Mr.
Cooper, the divisional surgeon, has been most unremit-
ting in his attendance upon the poor creature. She is
quite delirious, and cannot be left for a minute ; and,
from the time that her husband returned home on Fri-
day last, be 'au never left her room.
Mrs. Belton for some time has been in the habit of
letting apartments, and had two lodgers up to Thursday
week last, when one, a very respectable gentleman, left,
owing to something that had transpired between Mrs.
Belton and the assadain Bright, alias Staines. It is im-
possible to say what this was at present ; but it may be
mentioned that, when the gentleman alluded to applied
at another house for lodgings, he stated, as his reason
for leaving, that "he did not consider his life safe in the
house."

The assassin has not yet been apprehended, although
the police are actively engard in tracing him.
There has been a statement put forward in the village
as the reason for the assault, but it is of such a nature
as not to justify us, till it is con6rmed, in going further
into it.

There was a rumour here this afternoon that Bright
had committed suicide ; but at present the police have
no authentic information on the subjeot.

MR. BUNK.—On Monday Mr. A. Bunn commenced
an engagement as a lecturer at the Polytechnic Institu-
tion, Edinburgh. His lecture, entitled, " John Bull
among the Yankees," consisted of descriptions of his
own experiences during a visit to the United States.
Mr. Bunn communicated a variety of useful information
regarding the commercial and literary condition of
America, enlivening his discourse with several amusing
and well.-told anecdotes of the Americans.

STATE OF TRADE.

NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY.
The lace trade remains in a quiet state, nor do we ex-
pect any reaction until after Christmas. For home con-
sumption we have little demand, but for the American
market there have been some tolerable orders. Upon
the whole, we do not think that the lace trade is more
dull than is usually the case at this period of the year.
In silks, in consequence of the dearness of material, there
is very little doing.
In hosiery there is an average amount of business
doing. Thin is, however, usually a slack time, and the
trade will no doubt remain quiet until after Christmas.
There has been until the last week a good business doing
for the American market.

. _
Silk is a little easier to buy. Yarns are firm.

It is underitood that the question as to the desirable-
ness of adopting an exclusively gold standard is again
occupying the attention of the French Government.

THAMES.

A MAN SHOT IN STEPNEY.— A great many persons
attended the court and its avenues this morning in con-
sequence
,of a report that a man had been shot in
Stepney, and that the attempted murderer would
be brought before the magistrate. It appeared, how-
ever, that no person was in custody for such an offence,
and that the rumour had its origin in the following cir-
cumstances :—Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock a
woman dropped a silver fourpenny piece in John-street,
Stepney-causeway, and a labouring man named John
Daly, who was passing, assisted her in looking for it.
While he was so engaged, a mischievous boy, who had
been playing with a pistol loaded with powder and ball,
either iby accident or design fired it on the opposite
side of the road, and the ball lodged in the leg of
the man who was looking for the fourpenny
piece. The man fell, and exclaimed, "I am shot!" He
was immediately taken to the surgery of Mr. Monks, in
the Commercial-road, who dressed -the wound, and
directed that the unfortunate man should be removed to
the London Hospital, where the ball was extracted. On
making inquiries at the hospital this morning our re-
porter was informed that the man was going on favour-
ably. The author of the mischief ran away directly he
had fired the pistol, and notwithstanding the exertions
of the police no trace of him has been discovered. Two
detectives of the K Division have been in search of the
boy all day.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Lay.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

This week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, and
by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the show
of samples here, to-day, was rather limited. There was a
slight improvement in the demand for fine qualities, at
Monday's currency ; but other kinds moved off heavily;
at that day's decline in value.
The imports of foreign wheat are rather over 10,000
quarters. That grain was dull in the extreme, at almost
nominal quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
Fino barley maintained its price; but other qualities
were very dull.
In the value of malt no change took place.
There was a moderate demand for oats, at Monday's
quotations.

Beans, peas, and flour wero dull, but not cheaper.

crop of canons, and full rates wore obtained. Monings
realised from is 10d to 2s 4.(1 per lb.
SUGAR.—There has been no public sales of this article
during the last two days, but privately large transactions
have been entered into at full prices, principally for home
consumption. The supplies have been very limited, and
an impression is current that higher rates will rule ere
long. The refined market has been fully supported, and
fine grainy lumps realise 608 to 61s per cwt.
COFFRE.—An improved demand has been felt for plan-
tation Ceylon, and rather higher rates were realised ; good
and fine brought 66s to 70s per cwt. Native Ceylon has
also been inquired for at 52s 6cl to 545. Mocha has been
scarce, and but little business has been done in this de-
scription. _ _

_
RlCE.—Common qualities have been in demand at full
prices, but the finer descriptions have been dull, and de-
clined about 6d to 9d per cwt.
Rum.—The market has been steady at fully former
values,

SPICES.—Mace and nutmegs have receded about ld to
2d per lb, but other kinds rule heavy at about former
rates.

SALTPETRE.-A brisk demand still continues, and fully
former prices have been readily realised. Refined descrip-
tions have advanced to 55s per cwt.
TALLOW.—The market has been buoyant, and P.Y.C.
on the spot has advanced to 59s 6d, and other positions
598 to 59s 3d per cwt.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of beasts in to-day's market was by no means
extensivo, yet the demand for all breeds ruled hoary, at a
decline in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per Sibs.
With sheep we were rather scantily supplied, yet the
mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary
prices. Calves were in short supply, and heavy request,
on former terms. In pigs vary little was doing, at late
rates.

Mulch cows moved off slowly, at from 14/. to 191. each,

This preparation is ono of the benefits which the science of modern
chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for during the first twenty
years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was con-
sidered a romance ; but now the efficacy and safety of this medicine
is so fully demonstrated by unsolicited testimonials from persons in
every rank of life that public opinion proclaims this as one of the
most important discoveries of the present age.

LOSIJON, TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1856.

---
Yesterday, when the Plenipotentiaries visited
the Tuileries, after signing the treaty of peace, tht,
Emperor observed, "Gentlemen, you have accom-
plished a peace which is honourable to all par
ties concerned without being humiliating to and
Power."

Surely—rather presumptuous, this, on the
part even of our august Ally ! Let NAPOLEON
_speak, of course, as authoritatively as he please.-
and as he has an incontestible right to do—fol
France. But, in Gon's name, let England
be allowed to judge entirely for herself as to
Whatever, ta her regard, may, or may not,
be fraught With " humiliation !" It is a
word, we cannot but
think, of evil
omen at this awful juncture. Fancy WHAT
that Peace must be which We are expected to
welcome, forsooth, because—of this one merely
"negative" merit ! Imagine for a
- how glorious the Treaty is —w • h moment
EMPEROR prepares the world for
as the
the noblest words of praise he could possibly
contrive to apply to it) by telling us that it is
not " humiliating to any Power 1" Conceive, for
an instant, how welcome such a Treaty of Peace as
the one thus deplorably foreshadowed would have
been in the grand old heroic times which seem
now by contrast, so very far removed from our
own generation. Conceive, we say, for one in-
stant, bow very welcome such a Treaty of Peace
would have been (in England's regard) to our
NELSON and our WELLINGTON, and (as a dip-
lomatic boon for France, won by the edge of the
sword) to the Great NAPOLEON ! Alas ! there
were giants in those days

RUSSIAN MANCEEI V.RING.

The future policy of Russia has been evident for sour.
tame past. Every effort will be made to weaken the
bonds of amity between France and England. The fol•
lowing extract from the last number of the Nord, the
Russian organ at Brussels, will show the reckless svief
in which the object is to be effected :
"Lord Clarendon has plainly told the Emperor tbst
all the respor2sibility of the treaty will be thrown upqi
him, Napoleon 111. Lord Clarendon declares that
England has not obtained conditions more unfavourable
to Russia it is because the Emperor of the French
wished fi,r nothing but peace : it was necessary either I°
sign the treaty or to break off the alliance with Louie
Napoleon ; and Lord Clarendon and his colleagues hare/
thought that the possible advantages of a continuation
of the war would not atone for this. As a sign of lo
coneiliati,,r, the plenipotentiaries have agreed to erase
from the proces-verbal all record of the painful.disser
sions and the bard words exchanged in the stormy sittisi
of the 22d. But this will be the secret of the plal.
One of these fine days you will see this same proce,
verbal, non-revised and uncorrected, in some journal
London or Turin."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The supply of floating capital in the money
market was abundant, at 7 to 9. Orders 9 per
cent, for first-class mercantile acceptances, and 6 to
7 per cent. on call. The statement for last week
was unfavourable, the loans and discount'
amounted to upwards of 104,500,000 dole. and
_4,o'
creased since the Ist of December last 12,000,0_T,'
dols. The specie reserves were about 14,000,0vu
dols., showing a fall of only 2,750,000 dols. since
the Ist of Dcember. This expansion was con'
sidered dangerous to the commercial community.
Exchange was flat at 9i to 91 on London ; sf'
18/c. to sf. 17ic., 60 days, and sf. 12ic. short
sight, on Paris ; 361 to 36g on Bremen ; and 51'
17--e. on Antwerp.
The cotton-market was buoyant, and a large
business bad been transacted at latter prices be'
tween Gulf Port and Europe. The receipts sine°
the Ist of September last at all the ports well,
2,618,837 bales against 1,764,701 to same time 10
year ; 1,973,155 in 1854, and 2,605,065 in .1853. ,
Flour was in limited demand, at a decline
6c. for lower grades. For London kinds the de'
cline was 121 c. to 25c.

The market for pork had improved 25c., with °,
light demand. In beef there was only a limited
business. Prime mess was inactive. Bacon now
