had in a trunk at Pierce's ; but I was prevented from
selling it by my arrest. The whole of my share of the
notes, and some other money was in my trunk, with a
Spanish bond for 2001. when I was apprehended, and
fell into Pierce's hands. I had before sold similar bonds
to Tester for :001. The day I was arrested Pierce
walked with me from Stanley-place to Shepherd's-bush.
I took the child's perambulator and some clothes, and
gave them to Pierce, which he took home. I got inside
a buss to keep an appointment, but on my way about
four o'clock in the afternoon I was apprehended.
After that, 3,0001., which I had in the Stocks, were
sold out and brought to me in Newgate. I gave it to
Mr. Wontner, who kept it for some little while. He
asked me what he was to do with it, and I told him I
wished it turned over, and 2,5001., after deducting the
expenses of my defence, was given to Pierce's wife to
invest it for the benefit of my child and its mother, but
he has not done it. I never saw Pierce from the
time of my arrest till a few days since in the
dock I have received letters from him since I have been
at Portland with a portrait of my child. The canvas
bags were destr rayed. A roand wooden mallet about the
size of a pint pot was used to open the boxes it wag
thrown over the pier at Dover the night of the robbery
with the wedges. Pieree kept all the money I had in my
trunk, the 600/. notes, some gold and gold bars. lex
pected when I was apprehended he would have come to
me, and have made arrangements with me, but he never
came near me. He had the whole of the money. When
at the coffee-house near the Southampton Arms, Camden
town, the master of the house bad a long conversation
with me in Pierce's absence. It is about three weeks
ago that I first made a statement in reference to this
robbery to Mr. Reed, the governor at Portland.

This finished the examination in chief of this witness.
Mr. Wontner said that, as the case must go elsewhere
for further investigation, he should best consult his
client's interest by abstaining from cross-examining the
witnesP.

Mr. Lewis said be felt bound to pursue a contrary
course, and that he must proceed to cross•eaamine the
witness at once.

Mr. Wontnei said he was instructed by Pierce to
state that the 2,500/. handed over to him for invest
Ment for Fanny Kay and Agar's child had been invested
by him in Turkish Bonds, and that they were taken pos-
session of by the officers when he was apprehended
Mr. Bodkin said that that statement did not tally
with the notions entertained by the prosecution of the
facts.

The Court adjourned at 2 o'clock for a few minutes.

POLISH MtsETING.

THE LATE LORD DUDLEY STUART.

To-day being the anniversary of the death of Lord
Dudley Stuart, the Polish exiles assembled at Sussex
Chambers, Duke-street, St. James's, to commemorate
this melancholy event by paying a tribute of respect and
gratitude to the memory of the departed champion of
the Polish cause.

Major Gietgud occupied the chair, and opened the
proceedings by a review of the private virtues and public
character of the departed nobleman, and of his entire
devotion to Poland, and the lose it has sustained by his
premature death.
Major SzurxzEwsKr then rose and spoke as follows :
Another year has elapsed since the death of Lord
Dudley Stuart, and we have assembled once more to do
honour to his memory—to show that in the gloom of
disappointment as in the flush of hope we remember
with equal gratitude the friend whose beautiful devotion
to our cause was proved most conspicuously in adversity,
though ever aspiring towards a better day ; and though
the future prospects of our country may at this moment
be more clouded than ever, I know I shall be speaking
the sentiment of every true Pole, when I say, that
through the dark mist of lowering shades the name of
Lord Dudley Stuart will ever shine out like a star of
hope and promise, cheering weary patriots to new exer-
tions, beckoning them onward to the goal which, if they
flag not, must, sooner or later, be attained, for " the
battle is to the brave," though the day of victory may be
long deferred, and its fruits may only grow out of
the graves of those who won it. It was thus with
our lamented friend and benefactor. He was taken
away from among us at the very moment when events
were demonstrating the accuracy of the views and opi-
nions he had so long and patiently advocated, in spite of
scoffs and ridicule ; and even in what it failed to accom-
plish the recent war bears testimony to his political
foresightedness, and his rare sagacity ; for it was not
only he that had for years been pointing out the nefari-
ous policy of Russia, that threatened England arid the
rest of Europe as much as it oppressed Poland, but it
was he who—when the eyes of Europe had at length
been opened, and the conflict was impending—was the
first to proclaim from his seat in Parliament, that a suc-
cessful naval war against Russia could only be waged
with gun-boats, and that on land an effectual war against
her could only be fought with Poles. Events have
justified these predictions. The allies have been ♦ictori-
ous, it is true (and their bravery and endurance
have gained for them the warmest admiration
of the Poles, as of all other nations) —peao3 has been
concluded, Russia has been thrown back for a while,
perhaps, but has she been subdued? Has that policy,
which has so long hung like a thleatening cloud on the
horizon of Europe, received a la,iting check ? Have those
wilyintrigues been staid which like the gleams of ligtning,
were ever striking do wn where least expected, and raising
difficulties that put the wariest diplomatists at fault ?
The recent circular of Prince Gortschakoff, the man-
ner in which she is endeavouring to evade the stipula-
tions of the treaty of Paris, the shadows of change which
have been flitting over the Western Alliances, the
obstinacy of the King of Naples, the absolutist revolu-
tion in Spain, the uneasiness felt throue;out Europe, so
different from the j )y and security experienettl after the
conclusion of a bona fide peace—all these must sive the
answer. Indeed, the whole state of Europe points iscfw,
as before, to Lord Dudley Stuart's policy, as regaro`
Poland, as the only effectual cure for the chronic dis-
crder under which it has been suffering ever since the
annihilation of our national indepen deuce. An inde-
pendent Poland, upraised again between Europe and
Russia, is the only means of effectually checking her
aggressive European policy, and her undue influence
and power in tlae West, and is the only basis on which
a free Italy and a free Hun;ary can be permanently
established, and the equilibrium be restored which
will leave no other battle-fields open to the
nations of Europe than those of peaceful in-
dustry, and moral and intellectual progress. In
saying this, I am giving utterance to convictions
based on far deeper foundations than the hope of im-
pending revolutionary outbreaks in Europe for
they are founded on an unswerving faith in God's
providential guidance of the world's history; and I
would say to every Pole, at home and abroad, "Let us
act with conscientiousness and zeal in whatever sphere
our lot may be cast, feeling assured that the greater re-
spect and confidence we gain for ourselves as individuals,
the more healthy and productive the energies we put
forth—whether it be in promoting the growth of industry
and true enlightenment, and the development of feelings
of goodwill and mutual confidence between class an
class at borne, or it be merely labouring in the sweat of
our brow to gain our daily bread in a foreign lard, the
more effectually we shall be forwarding the cause of the
liberty and independence of our beloved fatherland,
though our heads may go down to the grave before the
final victory is gained." In earning for ourselves the
respect of the world we shall also by most truiy honour-
ing the memory of him who was ever defending tie
character of the Poles, whether as a nation or as in Ii•
viduale, from the foul aspersions cast upon it, and be
proving in the noblest manner that his nanio is embalmed
in the best affections of our crateful hearts.

The meeting was subsequently addressed at some
length by Col. B. WinonaKr, who, in the course of his
speech, observed that the first message conveyed by the
telegraph established by the Russians on the coast of the
Baltic Sea, was the exulting intelligence of the death of
Lord D. Stuart, as the greatest enemy of Russia, and
a protector of the Polish exiles.
After short speeches from Major JACKOWSKI and Capt.
GLEINICH, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the
meeting separated.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was very little business transacted in wheat in the
leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices
were is to 2s per qr lower. The barley trade was heavy,
at drooping currencies. Most other kinds of produce ruled
about stationary.
Throughout the continent, the corn trade has been iu
depressed state, and prices generally have had a downward
tendency. The American markets continue to be well
supplied.
Up to our market last week the receipts of English grain
were very moderate. From abroad we received 31,969 qrs
of wheat, 4,753 barley, 51,416 oats, 425 beans, 550 peas,
609 tares, ;';00 rapeseed, 58 mustard-seed, 1,552 seeds and
Indian corn, 5,32 sacks, and 6,315 barrels of flour.
There was a very fair average quantity of English wheat
received fresh up from Essex and Kent, and the condition
of most of the samples was tolerably good. For white
qualities the demand was far from active; nevertheless,
in most instances, last Monday's prices were supported.
All red samples, however, met a very dull inquiry, at a
decline in.the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of
from 2s. to 3s. per quarter.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex-granary. Some of the holders were rather anxious
sellers at late rates, but the majority of them were rather
firm in their demands. The amount of business doing in
all kinds was very limited, yet we have no change to notice
in the quotations.
There was very little doing in floating cargoes of grain.
The show of barley was not to say extensive ; neverthe-
less, the trade was heavy, and prices gave way is per qr.
We had a dull inquiry for malt, on rather easier terms.

The show of foreign oats was very large. Good sound
qualities realised about previous rates, but inferior parcels
moved off slowly, at 61 to is per qr less money.
Although tho supplies of beans and peas wore rather on
the increase, those articles moved off steadily, at late
prices.
The flour trade was dull. Country marks and American
qualities were rather drooping in price.

Advices from Holland state that the demand for stock
ou French account has been rather dull of late. Prices,
however, rule high. Only limited purchases of beasts and
sheep have been made in Spain for consumption in France.
As some of the steamers laden with stock from Holland
have not been reported, the show of foreign beasts and
sheep here to-day was comparatively small.
From our own grazing districts the fresh arrivals of
beasts were moderately good; nevertheless, as the atten-
dance of butchers was rather extensive, the demand for all
breads ruled somewhat active, at an advance in the quota-
tions realised on Monday last of 2d per Ms. Thu best
Scots sold at 4s 10d per Blbs.
The arrivals front Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,150 shorthorns ; from
other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; from Ire-
land, 500 oxen ; and from Scotland, 80 Scots.
The show of sheep was again but moderate as to num-
ber. In their general quality, however, a great improve-
ment was noticed. The mutton trade was firm, at fully
last Monday's currency. The best old Downs realised 5s 2d
per Sibs.
We were scantily supplied with calves, which moved off
steadily at Friday's quotations. The top figure was Os 4d
per Sibs.
Yin's, the show of which was moderate, changed hands
steadily, at full prices.
