IN RE LE ANGELE.

This was a meeting for proof of debts under the estate
of this bankrupt, who bad carried on business as a
poulterer, in Compton-street, Brunswick-square.
From the accounts, by Messrs. Hart. Brothers, it ap-
pears that the debts amounted to 1,3001., and the assets
sufficient to pay 20s. in the pound, if a debt due to the
estate of 1,0911. is paid, but, it is considered very
doubtful.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

It is certain that the result of the division on the
second reading of the " Conspiracy to Murder
Bill" has been received in official quarters here
with great surprise and still greater regret. On
the public generally the impression is deep and pain-
ful, yet among the better classes may be found per-
sons whose attachment to the Imperial Govern-
ment does not prevent them from admitting that
the event will not be without its use, and tint it
will teach people more discretion and moderation
iu future.

To diminish as much as possible the effect on the
public mind the Ministerial papers are recom-
mended to be moderate in their language, and to
avoid everything which might add to the prevail-
ing irritation.
The Emperor yesterday gave a private audience
to Count de Hatzfeldt, the Prussian Envoy, who
&livered a letter from his Sovereign announcing
the marriage of Prince Frederick William of
Prussia with the Princess Royal of England.
As Prince Napoleon was going to the Tuileries
two days back, his horse slipped and fell in such a
way that the Prince's leg was somvwhat crushed,
Fortunately, the limb was not broken, but the
Prince was so injured that he is confined to his
chamber.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
PLATE ROBBERY.
Twe women, named Smith and Elliot, were indicted
for stealing a quantity of hilrer plate,-the property of a
gentleman named Clanchy.

Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Cooper defended the prisoner Elliot.

The learned counsel having stated the case to the jury,
called

Police-constable Wreford, 94 (City), who said—l was
on duty near Cutler-street, on the evening of the 9th of
February, and shortly before nine o'clock I there saw
the prisoner Elliot ; and from information I received I
pursued and took her into custody. She was in com-
pany with Elliot.

Baker, City policeman 635, said—Oa the 9th of Feb.
I saw the prisoners, in company with a man, came out
of a court in Cutler-street. On Smith seeing me she
ran into the Clothes Exchange. I pursued her, and
took her into custody, and in her possession I found the
bundle of plate (produced). I asked her where she bad
got the property, and she said she had picked it up in a
street the name of which she could not tell.

Mrs. Bawyer, the female searcher at the Bishopsgate
street station-house, said On the person of Smith I
found a silver mustard spoon, the property of the pro-
secutor. Nothing was found on Elliot.

Emily Salmon said—l am cook in the service of Mr.
Clanchy, of Campden-hill-road, Kensington. On the
9th February, about 8 o'clock in the morning, I disco-
vered that my master's house had been entered during
the night and robbed. The first thing I noticed was the
table cover, which had been removed, and the area door
was wide open. I immediately went to the cupboard,
to look if the plate was safe, but found it had all been
taken away. I have known the prisoner Smith for
about six weeks. Previous to the robbery she used to
wash my dresses. The plate wad safe at 10 o'clock in
the evening previous to the robbery.
A pawnbroker identified Smith as the person who
pawned some of the property.

Mr. Claneby identified the plate as his property.
Mr. Cooper addressed the jury for Elliot, aad con-
tended that there was no evidence against her. She had
unfortunately met the other prisoner when she had the
property in her possession, but that was a'l.

Smith, who was undefended, said she found the plate
lying in the road. She picked it up and afterwards met
Elliot. After a short conversation it was resolved to
pawn it, but ultimately she thought it best to keep
the property to see if a reward was of Bred fur it. A 6
they were in the neighbourhood of the Clothes Exchange
two men pushed against them and made the plate iu
the bundle rattle, and because they refused to sell them
the property they gave information to the police, and
they were immediately afterwards taken into custody.
The Recorder having summed up,
The jury found the piisoner Smith guilty, and ac
quitted 'Elliot.

The Recorder sentenced Smith to 18 months' im-
prisonment, with hard labour.

NEW COURT.

The Common Sergeant was occupied the whole of the
morning in hearing Mint prosecutions, none of which
possessed tho slightest interest.

PRIVATE MATCH.
In addition to the above t ere was a private match
between the Sylph, Mr. D. White, and the Three Wil-
liams, Mr. win!. Trainer, two celebrated models. The
match war: decided by winning two boards out of three.
The first, a
beautiful race, was won by the Three
nd and third by the Sylpb, the
Williams, and the seco
latter thus being the winner, the Three Williams meet-
ing with an accident in the second board.

PAIR-OARED RACE FOR 10/.—A pair-oared race for
(5 1 . a-Aide) came off yesterday, from
the above amount
Westminster-bridge to Battersea-bridge, between G.
Edmonds, and 11. Burton, of the Prince A lbert Aquatic
Club, and E. Carter and F. Leathait, of the Temple
Unity sowing Club. A referee having been chosen,
they got to their stations, Edmunds and Burton having
the best station on the Middlesex side, their opponents
being much too near them for a clear right-away race,
which caused a collision between their oars before they
had taken many pulls at even ; but they both seemed
reconciled to the matter as purely accidental, and again
went away oar aad oar. A fine ding-dong race then
followed to Chelsea-bridge, where Edmunds and Burton
began gradually to draw away from their opponents,
took a position right in front of them, and then increased
their advantage to six or eight lengths at the finish.

AUSTRIA.

Tho Austrian Minister of Commerce has published
the following statistical return of the imports and
exports of the empire during the past year. The
imports were valued at 281,932,922 florins, and
produced for the State 19,179,777 florins, This
represented a falling off on the previous year of
7,498,380 florins in the gross value, and of 1,779,442
florins in the government receipts. The exports
were 231,018,109 florins, with a customs return of
494,717 flotins, which gives a reduction of
20,417,491 florins in the exports, and 103,977
florins in the customs receipts. The decrease in
the imports bears chiefly on colonial produce,
metals, and leather. The exports have diminished
mainly on woven goods and timber. The export
of cattle, animal produce, and precious metal has
increased.

'AYR.

PRUSSIA.

A telegraphic despatch from Berlin announces
that the Prince of Prussia, in returning on foot
from the theatre on Saturday night, fell and seriously
sprained his left foot. A bulletin issued at midday
yesterday stated that the swelling and pain had
diminished, and that H.R. H. had passed a quiet
night.
A letter from Berlin of the 20th says—" The
Princess Frederick William was one of the august
party at a concert of sacred music given by the
Prince and Princess of Prussia on the evening of
Ash Wednesday, where Madame Viardot Garica
gained additional laurels, but on the following
day (Thursd ty) she was obliged to excuse herself
from the dinner given by the Prince and Princess of
Prussia, and also from the concert at the Sing-Aka-
demie performed that evening. On that day her
Royal Highness was obliged to take to her bed in
consequence of a severe cold, and remains still a
prisoner ; but, as far as I have heard at present,
there is nothing more than a cold to be deplored, and
the weather has been so changeable within the last
few days that it is almost extraordinary to find any
one not affected with catarrh in some form or
other." _ _ .

The Prussian Mon item. publishes the following :
" From the moment of our touching the Prussian
soil, after our marriage, we have received so many
precious testimonies of the sincere interest taken in
our happiness that the remembrance of them will
never be effaced from our memory. We have only
been able to express those sentiments to a few per-
sons and to thank them for all the manifestations
and presents which have been made to us. By thus
publicly expressing those sentiments to the whole
country, w c do it with the following prayer. 'May God
bless our dear country with his richest gifts now
and for ever 1'

FREDERICK WILLIAM,

" Berlin, 19th Feb."
The 'VW Prussian Gazette says :—" Many appli-
cations having lyien lately sent in for commutations
of punishment or for pardons, probably because the
idea prevailed that a decree of amnesty would be
published on the occasion of the marriage of Prince
Frederick William, we are authorised tl declare
that no document of the kind will be issued."

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here this morning.
coastwise and by land carriage, was limited, but the bulk
of the samples was in full average cun salon. The demand
for most kinds ruled inactive, yet Monday's prices were
were supported.
There was a moderate inquiry for good and fine foreign
wheats, at full quotations, but other qualities were a dull
inquiry.

Barley was in short supply, and steady request, at full
prices.
Malt sold to a fair extent, at full currencies.
Good sound oats moved off steadily at Monday's quota-
tions, but damp parcels met a slow inquiry.
Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, at late rates.

A COUNTRY MAGISTRATE'S OPINION OF LONDON.—
Almost the last words spoken by Alderman Livesey (late
chairman to the conference in St. Martin's Hall) at the
breaking up of the conference were—that he should be
very glad to get back to Rochdale, as he had not much
idea of London morality, baying lost two B,lk hand
kerchiefs during his perambulations in open day.
The report of the Bank of Egypt preparatory to the
meeting on the sth March states the profits for the
half-year ending the 31st of December at 14,2121., and
rec3mmends a dividend at the rate of 7 p,-!r cent., free
of .ncotne-tax. After setting apart 5,0001. to r,serve
and 2,0001. to preliminary expenses, there will remain
1,8191. to be carried forward.

TAFF VALE WAGGON.

The half-yearly 'beefing was held immediately after
that of the Taff Vale Railway ; Mr. E. J. Hutchins
in the chair.

The accounts showed that 11,909/. had been received
on account of the redemption fund, and that on the 31st
of December 2,1901. remained f r permanent investment.
This sum and ,he interest accruing upon the securities
held by the company have since been applied in
the purchase of A and B shares at a rate to yield
4/. 188. qi 1. per cent. per annum. As the rate of
interest for thiA fund was calculated by the actuaries at
3i per cent. per annum, the position of the company is
considered very sari-factory.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
which was carried unanimously.
The retiring director and auditor were re-elected, and
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the

The CHAILiMAN, in moving the adoption of the re
port, alluded to the expen,iture of 10,0001. in
excess of the amount authorised to be raised by Parlia-
ment, and stated that upon almost every head the ex-
penditure had exceeded the original estimate. The works
were exceedingly heavy. The directors thought they
had made a good railway, and he had no doubt the
traffic would ultimately justify the expenditure of the
250,0001. which it would ultimately cost. About 49,2001.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
about 11 per mille discount, and the short exchange on
London is 25.10 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/ 17e. 10:1d. per
ounce for standard gold it appears that g.ld is abota
1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London, By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 419 per
mark, and the Ault exchange on London is 13.34 per
11. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price
is therefore about 8-10ths per cent. dearer in London
than in Hamburg- The course of exchange at New
York on London for bill, at 60 days' sight is about 110
wr cent., which, when Compared with the Mint par
between the two countries, shows that the exchange is
slightly in favour of Eng;aed ; and, after making allow-
ance for charges of transport and difference of interest,
the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa-
tion of gold from the United Sates.
