MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

Ann Barker was indicted for, at various times, having
paswed counterfeit coin.
Thomas Gt iffitliS deposed 'that he was a shopriaan with
Powell and Co. of Oxford Street, on the 29th of June,
when the prisoner came in for a yard of calico, for which
she tendered a bad shilling. He kept the money and de-
sired her to go and get a good one. As soon as she left
the shop, a policeman came in and asked whether she had
not been attempting to put off bid coin. He went after
her, but at that time did not get her.

Mrs. Hewlit, a widow, keeps a tobacconist's shop. On
the 9th of July the prisoner came into her shop for a
quarter of an ounce of tobacco, for which she gave half-
a-crown, and received the change. In half an hour she
again came back with another half-crown, for which she
wanted change. The witness said she bad nothing but
copper, which the prisoner said would do, and took.
Next day Mrs. Hewlit had to pay some money, and then
found that both half-crowns were bad. She could not be
mistaken as to the two she received from the prisoner, for
she had no other half crowns in her possession.

A policeman produced the money, which Mr. Field,
the Inspector of the Mint, proved were counterfeit.
The Jury instantly found the prisoner Guilty, when
the CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry that her former
punishments had had so little effect upon her. This was
no A the fourth time he bad had to pass sentence upon her
for the same species of offence. It was his duty now to
order her to be imprisoned for two years, and kept to
hard labour.

There were ten other prisoners to be tried for the same
offence, which were expected to occupy nearly all day.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Edward Spring, and two sisters named Ferguson, low
prostitutes, were brought up, charged under the following
circumstances

Mr. Thomas, the superintendant, stated that last night
he received information that two well-known thieves were
endeavouring to procure change of a 50/. Bank of Eng-
land note. He made inquiries relative to it, and ascertained
that the male prisoner, who was iu company with the
two girls in a low brothel, in Phoenix-alley, bad sent the
note to get cashed by one of the girls, who had given it
to Bill Hatton, a notorious thief, who had disappeared
with it. He questioned the male prisoner (who wore a
handsome suit of livery) upon the subject, and he said that
he was groom to Mr. Lubbock, the banker, No. 21, St.
James's-place. He admitted giving the note to one of the
females to get cashed, and said " that he had received it
from his master that morning-201. for salary, and 301. for
clothes." He (Mr. Thomas) not feeling satisfied with the
story took the three prisonera into custody, and this morn-
ing he communicated the circumstance to Mr. Lubbock,
when it turned out that the male prisoner, who bad been
in his employ for about 12 months, had stolen the note
from his writing desk, which he had placed there amongst
other monies; and if the prisoners were remanded for a
short time, he should be able to bring sufficient proof to
substantiate the charge. The prisoners were remanded
accordingly.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL YE 0' CL 0 CK.

The only arrival this mot ning is a Leeward Island mail,
which sailed from St. Thomas's on the 4th of August ;
the private letters by the above conveyance do not contain
any news from that quarter of consequence.
By the French mail this day the Journal du Havre
says that a ship has arrived at Brest in forty-one days
trona Mexico, with the information that General Teranha
committed suicide on the 12th of July at San Louis. It
is also stated that Gen. Caderen has blown out his brains
at Puebla, and Bustamente, with Tassin, have hen sent
to prison in Nlexico. Also orders were given to send a
deputation to the United States, to President Pedraza, to
return to Mexico.
Accounts from Frankfort say that Austria and Prussia
demands of the Diet of Germany 40,000,000 of florins to
defray their expenses for their armaments in putting down
the revolutionary spirit in Germany, and it is thought the
German Princes will he furred to comply with this request.

THE FUNDS.

Our arrivals this morning are again of a very scanty
description. With the exception of the e4afette from
Paris, there is not an arrival worth noticing.
It appears the flames of civil war are again kindling in
La Vendee, of which no doubt the French Government
have timely information, and measures will he taken to
prevent their spreading. The French Funds ere rather
higher.
The public attention this morning is drawn to the vo-
luminous report of the Bank Committee, and the various
evidences given on this national subject ; amongst which
is generally noticed that of the great city capitalist,
who was well sifted both on foreign exchanges
and the various branches of commerce, and we find that
the city capitalist, to our astonishment, did not secrete any
thing from them, both relating to commerce and the pri-
vate acts of a great merchant.
Now we will turn to another subject relating to the
Stock Exchange. Petitions by some of the members
have been sent to the committee of the Stock Exchange,
praying that the house might be thrown open for mer-
chants and traders to be subscribers to the house, giving
a certain security at the same time. Counter petitions
have also been sent to the committee, of greater strenzth
than the former, not to admit merchants and traders at
present.
Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday,
841 for the Account, since which they have been done at
841. In the Foreign market nothing doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We are in a state of great inactivity in the City, both
in respect to commerce and operations in the funds, to the
present hour, but we again hear as positive, for the hun-
dredth time, that the Belgian affairs are now on the eve of
settlement.
Consols reached in the cJurse of the morning 84 for
the Account ; at present they may be quoted at Stt
with little or nothing doing.
In the Foreign Market Brazil Stock has improved about
per cent. ; Portuguese Scrip, 5 to 41 discount.

The Paris papers contain the following brief
notice of a personage formerly of some note in the world :
Ahdarile. CHISTOPEE, ex-Empress of Haiti, is at Geneva
with her daughter. Madame's domestic establishment,
although by nu means extensive, is not without its Royal
state ; and Mademoiselle has had many suitors, whom she
has rejected with disdain, preferring the condition of single
blessedness as a Princess, to an alliance which would confer
fortune without rank and dignity. Mademoiselle is jet
black, highly accomplished, and very amiable.

OPENING OP THE WIGAN AND NEWTON

RAILWAY.

,0"ItOt .OUR. pIi!NT CORRESPONDENT.)
On Monday last, the atioie Railway was opened
without any other ceremony of festivity than that
of the Directors, and the professional persons em-
ployed on the work, partaking of a sumptuous din-
ner, at llawson's Royal Hotel.
The length of the Railway is seven miles in a
nearly straight line, during which distance no per-
ceptible change from a level occurs to the casual
observer.

The country through which the line passes has
been well sel, cted,beth by obviating abrupt curves
and expensive cuttings and embankments. The
construction of this Railway is on a better principle
than that of the Literrool aml Manchester, so far
as regards the improvements in the shOe and in•
creased weight of the rails on which the carriages
run, and the greater stability given to those tails by
heavier stones, blocks, and chairs. The line passes
through a country intersected by roads, rivers, ca-
nals, &c., yet in one instance only does it cross any
road on the level.

Inconvenience and danger have been avoided by
bridges, by which the Railway crosses either over
or under any thoroughfare: These bridges are
built with great taste, and some of them afford fine
specimens of the extreme " skew," in crossing in g
very oblique line. Two iron bridges, which cross
the Leeds and Liverpool and Manchester canals, are
fine specimens of the perfection to which this art
has been brought.
The average time required to perform the distance
of seven miles, with four carriages and 23 -passen-
gers, is 15 minutes, and this by a locomotive of the
oldest construction.

The Act was obtained in the spring of 1830 on
the plans and estimates of Charles Vignoles, Esq.,
civil engineer, who has superintended its construe..
lion, as also that of the Saint Helens and Runcorn
Gap Ittil way, and its extensive wet docks, now
constructing upon the banks of the Mersey, near
Runcorn.
