LA IT IXTELLIGENCE-(TILIS DA Y.)

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
LEWIS V. F.VANS.,

This cause came on to be mentioned this morning. His
Honour the Master of the Rolls said—l have read the affi-
davits in this case, but as very little redance can be placed
on the statements made, I must make the usual decree for
taking accounts at chambers, and when I see the state of
accounts I will state any circumstances arising in the evi-
dence.
Decreed accordingly.

POLICE INTELLIGEII7CE-(TIIIS DAT.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STEALING POSTAGE STAMPS AT MESSRS. CHAPPELL'S.
—George Roberts, 17, errand boy to Messrs. Thomas
Chappell and Co., the well known music publishers of
New Bond-street, was charged with stealing a large quan-
tity of postage stamps, the property of bis master.
Mr. Chappell said that for some time past he had missed
a large quantity of postage stamps from a drawer in the
warehouse, and last night he caused £3 worth to be placed
there, first marking several of them, and at 12 at night, after
everybody had left, saw them safe. This morning about
9, in consequence of being informed that the prisoner was
seen to go to the place and go out, he told the prisoner
that he felt certain he had been robbing him, as no one
else had been behind the counter up to that time. He then
began to cry, and took him to a place where he had hid
them in the cellar, and he (Mr. Chappell) then found them
behind some packing cases. 'The number was 477, all
penny stamps, and on examining them he found they were
the same as those he had marked. He asked him how he
unlocked the till, and he said his brother had given him two
keys, one of which unlocked the till, and that it was secreted
among some music, where it was found. The value of
the stamps was £1 19s. 9d. Within the last week he had
missed £6 worth, and the prisoner had told him that his
brother met him and took the stamps from him.
William Smith, in the employ of Messrs Chappell, said
he assisted in marking the stamps, and placed them in the
till and locked it. This morning, about eight, as soon as
the prisoner came, he went behind the counter and took the
stamps from the till, and he gave information to Mr. Chap-
pell. The stamps produced are the same that he assisted in
marking the day previous with Mr. Chappell. He also
found the key that opened the till in the place mentioned
by the prisoner.

A constable proved that the prisoner at the station ad-
mitted taking the stamps, and finding one sovereign and
two half crowns in his possession.
Remanded.

MIS ILI rs MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Only a limited supply of English wheat was on offer to -
day, but its general quality was tolerably good. The best
samples of both red and white sold at Monday's currency,
but other kinds were very dull, and drooping in price.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was large, was a
dull inquiry, at barely previous rates. Floating cargoes
were heavy, but not offered on lower terms.

The show of barley was in excess of the demand, which
was much restricted, at barely previous currencies.
The malt trade was tolerably firm. In prices, however,
no change took place.

We had a fair demand for the best oats, at very full
prices, but damp parcels were heavy, at late rates.
Both beans and peas commanded fully previous rates, but
the flour trade was heavy. Country markets were the turn
lower.

THE N_ETV G.C.B. AND K.C.B.

Major-General Sir James Hope Grant, K.C.8., whose
elevation to the highest rank of the Order of the Bath ap-
peared in the Gazette of Saturday in our columns, is the
fifth son of the late Francis Grant, Esq., of Kilgraston and
Pitcaithly, North Britain, the head of one of the best of the
old " county families" of Perthshire ; his mother was Anne,
eldest daughter of Robert Oliphant, Esq., of Rossie, Post-
master .General of Scotland. lie was born on the 18th of
January, 1808, and entered the army as cornet in 1826.
He served in China under the late Lord Saltoun, and sub-
sequently in India under Lords Gough and Hardinge. He
was present at the battle of Sabraon, where he commanded
the 9th Lancers, as also in the Punjab in 1858-9. He was
also present at the engagements of Ramnuggur, Chilian-
wallah, and Goojerat, and took an active part in the sup-
pression of the India mutiny in 1857-8, for his services on
which occasion he was made a Knight Commander of
the Order of the Bath. He became a major-
general in the army in 18.58. His recent ser-
vices in China are too well known to our readers
to need being repeated here. Sir James, according
to the County _Families, married in 1847 Ellen, daughter of
Mr. B. Tayler.—Rear-Admiral J. Hope, C. 8., of Carriden,
county Linlithgow, who is now elevated, for his services in
China, from the second to the first division of the same most
honourable order, is the only son of the late Rear-Admiral
Sir G. Johnstone •Hope, K.C.B. (son of the Hon. C. Hope -
Vere, of Craigie-hall, and grandson of the first Earl of
Hopetoun), by his first wife, the Lady Jemima Hope-John-
stone, sth daughter of James, 3d Earl of Hopetoun. He was
born on the 3d March, 1808, and married in August, 1838,
the Hon. Frederica Eliza Kinnaird, second daughter of
Charles, eight Lord Kinnaird in the Peerage of Scotland,
but was left a widower in May, 1856. He entered the
Royal Naval College in 1820, joined his first ship in 1822,
and having served on the West Indian and Mediterranean
stations was promoted to lieutenant in 1827. He escorted
Lord William Bentinck to India in 1828, became flag-lieu-
tenant to the late Admiral Lord Northesk in the follow-
ing year, and subsequently was employed on the West
Indian and North American stations in command of the
Racer, 16. He obtained the rank of Captain in 1838, and
in November, 1845, while in command of the Firebrand
steam-frigate, he enacted a conspicuous part in the battle of
Parana, where a hard day's fighting resulted in the de-
struction by the combined squadrons of England and France
of four heavy batteries belonging to General Rosas at Punta
Obligado, as also of a schooner carrying 6 guns, and of 24
♦essels chained across the river. "On that occasion having
volunteered," says O'Byrne in his " Naval Biography,"
" Captain Hope gallantly pulled up in his boat and cut the
chain which impeded the upward progress of the allies. At
the close of the action he landed as aide-de-camp to the late
Captain Sir Charles Hotham, the senior British officer,
and assisted in giving the coup de grace to the defeat of the
enemy, whose numbers originally consisted of 3,500 men,
in cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and whose batteries had
mounted 22 pieces of ordnance." As a reward for his
bravery on this occasion he was nominated a Companion
of the Bathin April, 1846.
