POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.
Two FEMALE PICKPOCKETS.—Mary Wood, aged 24,
and Mary Ann Rose, 26, were charged with attempting
to pick the pockets of several ladies, and Mary Bicknell,
aged 21, with being in their company at the time.
John Lareoy, of 103, Norton.street, on being sworn,
said lie was in Regent-street 'esterday evening, where
lie saw the three prisoners together. They went up to
a lady who was looking into a shop window—Wood
on her right side, the others taking up a position
behind her. He saw Wood presently put her
band to the lady's pocket, and the lady drew away.
1 Upon this all three prisoners went away towards
o.dord-street, and along the latter until they came to
Mitchell's artificial flower shop, where they went up to a
lady who was looking in at the window. Wood, as
before, went to the ledy 'a pocket, the others being close
bebi, d ; the prisoner, in a minute or so, put her hand
into the pocket, and the lady directly after put her own
hand in and prevented anything being drawn out. The
prisoners walked off, and witness followed and gave
them in charge.
Policeman 305 C, said the prisoners ran off when last
witness spoke to him, he pursued and took them into
custody. Bicknell at the station gave her address, and
he found it to be a correct one, and ascertained she
was the wife of a respectable working man ; the others
had given false addresses.
Police-constable Roberts, 50 F, said the prisoner Rose
had lived many years with a man known as "Opera
Jack," one of the most notorious and expert thieves in
London. She had, about five years ago, been tried and
convicted for felony, and was sentenced to a period of—
he could not recollect how long—penal servitude.
About six months back he saw her, in the Strand, take a
gentleman, who was drunk, under a gateway, and on
going up to her and recognising her, the gentleman
having said he had not been robbed, though she had
tried it on, he let her go with a caution.
She was also identified by Walsh, the gaoler of this
court, as having been convicted in the name of Mary
Ann NVallis, for felony, in September, 1853.
Bicknell pleaded that she knew nothing of the others,
and had met them by chance.
Mr. Bingham said it had been found by the officer
that Bicknell was the wife of a respectable man, and had
given a correct address. He hoped it would be a
warning to her ; he should discharge her, and sentence
each of the others to three months each, with hard
labour.

MARKET NEW 8, --aims Day

CORN EXCHANGE.

Daring the present week, as well as fresh up to-day, the
arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage,
have been on a very moderate scale. For good and fine
samples we had a fair demand at Monday's currency, but
low and damp parcels moved off slowly at barely late rates.
The imports of foreign wheat are 4,620 quarters. There
was onlya limited inquiry for all kinds; nevertheless
prices were mostly supported.
Fine malting barley was in fair request at full quota
tions. Grinding and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry.
There was only a Bruited sale for malt as barely Mon
day's quotations.
No change took place in the value of oats.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.
