SMITHFIELD MARKET

This day's supply of Beasts, though not so great as we have
witnessed it on the Friday after the great Christmas market, em-
braced a considerable number of well-fed animals, was tolerably
good ; of Sheep, Calves, and Porkers, limited, but of lair average
quality. The trade with Beef, Veal, and Pork, was dull, at a
depression of full 2d. ; with Mutton somewhat brisk, at an ad-
vance of from 2d. to d per stone. Milch Cows were rather nu.
merous, and very dull of sale, at somewhat drooping prices,
very few Short-horns, with their small Calves, producing more
than 20/.

THE FUNDS.

Yesterday the accounts received at Lloyd's from Jamaica were
of an unfavourable nature, but we are happy to state this morn-
ing, by late information via New York, that the great danger
which threatened that island is nearly extinguished.
No Express has yet arrived from Paris, owing to the tempes-
tuous weather which prevailed the whole of yesterday.
Our Funds are in a languid state this morning, scarce a bargain
doing at present. The Reform Bill still weighs heavy on the
Market, and the speculators are afraid to act.
Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at
yesterday, 132 N 83 forlAccount, and for Money 82X
HALF-PAST ONE.

There is a total stagnation in the Funds, scarce a bargain has
been done. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at
82% 83 for Account, and 8 i % for Money. The speculators are
anxiously waiting for the Express from Paris.
Report says that the arrangement between the two parties for
the passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords is nearly
concluded, and that in a few days the particulars are expected to
transpire.
The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British
Market.

MISS SMITHSON.-This accomplished ac-
tress takes her benefit to.morrow night at the Coburg theatre,
on which occasion she will perform one of her best (if not her
very best) characters, Belvidera. We have little doubt, judging
from the attractiveness of the night's performances, that there
will be a crowded house to applaud the talents of a young lady
who, but a few seasons since, created such a profound sensation
in the French capital.

ANIMAL. REASONING.-A carter, boasting
of the sagacity and strength of his horse, in company of a
pedant, the latter somewhat scornfully asked if he could draw
an inference.—" I don't know what that be," replied the carter;
" but if does not weigh above three ton, I'll bet thec a quart
that Dobbin will draw it."—lfull Gazette.

HARDENING STEEL.—It may not be gene-
rally known that the hardening of steel does not necessarily
depend upon the immersion of the metal in liquid of any kind,
but may be equally effected by the application of cold. The
hardening of cast iron articles by chilling the surface has al
ready been mentioned, and the cutlers are well aware that the
same phenomenon occurs in the case of a thin blade, placed
when heated between the hammer and anvil faces when both
are cold.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopxdia, Vol. XXIV

ROUSE OF LORDS, MARC!! (1.

The Lord CIIANCELLOR toek hio ecat on the Woohlack
at Five o'clock.

Mr. Woon and others from the Commons brought op
several private Bills, which were severally read a first time
on the motion of Earl SHAFTESBURY.

The I ish Baking Bib, and the Sub-h,tting Act Amend-
ment Bill, went through a Conunittie.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in the absenco
of the Noble Secretary for the Colonies, moved
for copies of the circulars lent to the Governors of the
West India Island, by Lnrd Gnderich, on the 3.1 of June ;
also a copy of the proclamation that accomp iniud the de-
spatch ; and of the correspondenLe that passed between
that Noble Lord and Lord Behrore.

Lord GOSFORD presented a petition from the coach-
masters on the road between London and Hnlyhead, coat-
plaining of the low fares charged between Liver-
pool and Dublin in the Post-office packets. The
Noble Lotd stated that he understood the distance
between Liverpool and Dublin was upward.. of 180
miles, and the fare charged was only 1/. 7:. 6d. ;
while betwe:.n H tlyhead and Dublin, 1/ ls. 6d. was
charged, thouOt the distance was only 76 miles.
The Duke of RICHMOND said the ca,e had lately
been before the Lords of the Treasury. These fares were
not the cause of keeping people from going that road.—
The fare to Holy h.ad be believed was 6/. 6s. The pro-
prietors ought to reduce the fares before th,y comphtined.
When tiny did so, he would give it his best consideration.

TO IMPROVE THE COMPLEXION.

AT this Season of the Year, when Eruptions,
Rashes, and Irritations of the Skin are so preva-
lent, Mrs. VINCENT'S GOWLAND'S LOTION is
the only resource for the safe and certain cure of that dis-
agreeable sensation. This delightful Lotion acts by gently
and kindly opening the pores of the_Skin, extracting and
dulcifying the Morbid Virus lurking in it, and restoring
it to health and clearness. Mrs. Vincent is continually re-
ceiving tributes of applause from the most exalted ranks
in Europe; the most delicate lady or child may at all times
use this Lotion with the greatest safety, but its unexampled
reputation has induced many imitations. To prevent injury
and disappointment to the misled, see the name M. E.
Vincent upon all that is genuine.

BALSAMIC PILLS, a certain Cure for
Gonorrhoea, Gh ets, and other Diseases of the
Urinary Passages. These Pills having been employed in
upwards of 1,800 cases in private practice within three
years prior to being advertised, and in many thousand
cases since, and in no one instance known to fail, are
strongly recommended as the only safe and efficacious re-
medy in present use in all stages of those disorders, and
entirely obviating the necessity of having recourse to those
disgusting, nauseous, and in many cases highly injurious
medicines, as Cubebs and Capivi ; the dangerous results
of the latter in the inflammatory stages are too well known
to need any comment.

Q UEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday, a middle-aged man, named James
Fax, a poulterer, residing in the New-road, South
Lambeth, charged Sarah Williams and Sarah Wat-
kins with robbing him of thirty-eight sovereigns, and
about twenty-five shillings in silver. It appeared
that on the previous evening, the prosecutor and the
prisoners were together in Kennington-road. As
they were walking up and down the road, a police-
man cautioned the prosecutor against the prisoners,
who were well known characters; and observed
that, if he had any money about him, to be careful
of it. Mr. Fox defied anybody to rob him, and told
the policeman to mind his own business. About 11
o'clock, however, the prosecutor complained to
another constable of having been robbed of a bag
which contained thirty-eight sovereigns and upwards
of a pound's-worth of silver. He also stated that
he had accompanied the prisoner Williams to her
residence; and shortly after, from her mariner, he
suspected he had been robbed. He instantly put
his hand into his side pocket, and found the bag had
been extracted. Both prisoners were taken into
custody, but not a shilling of the property was dis-
covered. The evidence not being deemed sufficient
against :Watkins, she was discharged. Williams
was remanded until Friday.

THE MURDER IN CO➢IPTON-STREET.—Yesterday
Samuel Newland, a young man about 19, was
brought up on suspicion of having been concerned
in the murder of Mr. Shepherd, clerk to Messrs.
Williams and Co., the soap-boilers. He was taken
into custody at the house of his employer, a shoe-
maker, in Tottenham.court-road, and both the Co-
roner and Jury at the inquest on Monday had strong
suspicions that he was concerned in the murder.

He was privately examined by Mr. LAING, who
ordered him to be discharged, after a long examina-
tion, in which the prisoner's master and other wit-
nesses clearly proved an alibi.

NORTH ESSEX.

This was the day (Tuesday) appointed for the nomina-
tion of the candidates fur the representation of this divi-
sion, which accordingly took place at Braintree, at 11
o'clock this morning.

ISir FRANCIS VINCENT came forward to propose Mr.
Western as a fit and proper person to represent tla,
Northern Division of the County of Essex in Parliament.
The nomination was received with loud cheers, and was
seconded by Sir Thomas Ormsby.
Mr. WESTERN was received with immense cheering. It
was said the Ministry had ideas dangerous to agricu:ture,
such as free trade. He could tell them that it was no
such thing. Government hid no such ideas. He knew
Lord Grey and his Majesty's Government were deter-
mined to give agriculture all necessary protection. Before
he sat down he had to advert to a subject which in-
terested all their hearts, and struck all the chords of
their feelings. He meant slavery. He advocated the im-
mediate abolition of slavery, and would support every
measure calculated to produce the most immediate and
active abolition. The subject had long been under die-
cussion. It was advocated by Mr. Pitt, and opposed by
Lord Melville, and continued to be a subject for the mete
display of Parliamentary oratory. The Whigs had been
in office only six months, when they put an end to the
slave trade. The Whigs bad only been in officel2 months,
when the Tories began to cry out " What have the Whigs
dons?" But it should be borne in mind that they obtained
office after 70 years of Tory dominion, and th.•y bad to
rectify all the misconduct of so long a period. He re-
tired amidst great cheering.
Sir HENRY SMITH proposed, and Mr. BIRCH WOLFE
seconded, the nomination of Sir John Tysden Tyrell.
Sir Jotrx TYREI.L came forward, and was received
with loud cheers and sonic hisses. After a few introduc-
tory remarks, he said, it was a matter of notoriety that,
by the abolition of the rotten boroughs, the interests 6 f
agriculture had been lessened, and those of the manufac-
turer increased by an addition of 144 Members in Parlia-
ment. This was sufficient to show the true spirit of Lord
Grey's Ministry towards the agricultural interests. There
were other points in which Lord Grey's gross duplicity of
conduct appeared--for instance, his treatment of the Ra-
dicals. He, for his part, preferred an honest Radical, who
came forward and told openly what he wanted. The
Whigs had used the Radicals for their purpose—and now
that they have sucked the orange, they throw the rind
away. It was impossible not to see that the present war
was contrary to all known principles, and even to the
opinion of Lord Grey himself in 1791. The war against
the Dutch was most unjust and unprovoked, and the first
health he should drink after dinner would be that of

DARING BURGLARY.—Yesterday two young men,
named Sampson and Price, were charged under the
following circumstances :
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a young
woman, named Price, who resides with her aunt,
aged 76, in the Sailmakers' Almshouses at Bow,
perceived a light on the stairs, and on going out to
the lobby, she observed a man coming up stairs with
a hatchet in his hand. She called out to her aunt
that thieves were in the house, upon which the
man approached her with the hatchet uplifted. She
still continued to scream, and he then turned tail,
and bundled down stairs. After he had made his
escape with another man, she found that the thieves
had regaled themselves with hot wine in the kitchen,
and had carried off several silver spoons and of her pro-
perty. Inspector Grand, of the K Division, heard her
screams for assistance, and having seen the two pri-
soners near the almshouses some time previously,
he succeeded in tracing them to a coffee-shop at
Bromley, where he found all the stolen property in
Price's hat. Price had been employed to do up the
garde❑ of Mrs. Price.
Both prisoners were remanded.

TO the ELECTORS of MIDDLESEX.
VOTE FOR SIR JOHN SCOTT LILLIE.
WHY ?—Because he is a man of liberal and independent
principles.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS,-Vote for Sir J. S. LILLIE.
WHY ?—Because he is an independent and active Ma-
gistrate, and watchful of your interests.
It must he fresh in your recollection, that when an
appeal was before the Magistrates of this county, at the
Sessions at Hick's Hall, in Miy last, for hearing a ques-
tion vitally important to the general interests of the trade,
touching an alleged license granted by certain Magistrates
in Petty Sessions, to a Fishmonger's Shop in St. Giles's-
in-the-Fields, contrary to the expressed sentiments of the
majority of the respectable inhabitants and the Vestry of
the said Parish, and in opposition and injurious to the
interests of the numerous established Licensed Houses in
its vicinity, whether it was a valid license or not, the
appellants being ready with their evidence in Court to
show that the License was not granted pursuant to Law
and to the justice of the case—he, Sir J. S. LILLIE, was
then, as he has always been, at his post, and fearlessly and
courageously urged the Bench to grant an inquiry—the
birthright of an Englishman, and their safeguard against
oppression—but might prevailed against right, and the case
remains undecided.
Why not vote for BYNG ?
Because it is notorious that he does not watch over your
interests, and, on the above occasion, when he was expected
to he at his post, as a Magistrate for this county, he was
absent. " England exp. cts every Man to do his Duty."
LILLIE has done, and will do his ; let us do ours. Unite
then and Vote for LILLIE ; he will triumph, and we shall
have gained another protector of our rights and interests.

GRAND STEEPLE CHACE.

A steeple chace was run on Wednesday by the Officers of
the Queen's Bays, which excited considerable interest. The
ground selected for the occasion was between the village of
Corstorphine and Gogar, on the property of Sir Robert Dick.
The distance agreed upon, two miles across the country ; to
start a mile from the south side of the brook which runs pa-
rallel to the Glasgow road, taking a north-easterly direction,
passing the farm. To accomplish this, it was necessary to
leap this brook, which is from 12 to 13 feet wide ; the banks
being so soft and rotten, the odds were very much against
its being effected. Men, however, with ropes were stationed in
readiness to render assistance should any accident occur. A
great concourse of people had assembled to witness this novel
spectacle. Seven Officers started, Captain Copland, Lieute-
nant Dyer, Assistant-Surgeon Home, Lieutenants Sahnond
and Dyer, Cornets Campbell and Elliot. The first mile, al-
though several formidable fences occurred, all kept their places
well. The brook was first cleared in fine style by Mr. Dyer,
followed by Elliot ; Home's horse next, which, although hav-
ing cleared it with his fore legs, its hind got immersed, but,
after some struggling, was liberated ; Captain Copland's horse
refused altogether, and was therefore thrown out. The remain-
ing part of the ground was heavy, with several double ditches.
The case was ultimately contested by four of the Officers,
three of whom entered the field together, and won by Lieute.

HATTON-GARDEN.

DISCOVERY OF A NEST OF POT-STEALERS.—
George Newman, a lad about fourteen years of age,
was brought before Mr. LAING, charged with being
an extensive pot stealer and melter, under the fol-
lowing circumstances I
Inspector Lincoln, of E division, stated that on
Friday last he received information from a boy who
lodged in the same house as the prisoner, in Buck-
ridge-street, St. Giles's, that the prisoner and se-
veral other boys, with men and women, made it
their business to go out in the morning with bags
and baskets, for the purpose of stealing licensed vic-
tuallers' pots, and in the course of the day they
would return borne and melt them down, after
which they would sell the pewter to marine store
dealers for a comparative trifle. The informant
promised to take him to the place where they car-
ried on their avocations, and on proceeding there
with an officer they found the prisoner, with a
quart pot belonging to Mr. Jameson, licensed vic-
tualler, of No. 10, King-street, Portman-square,
which he was about to consign to the crucible. He
was instantly taken into custody with the property,
but the nest of melters, on hearing of the capture of
the prisoner, had since retired to some other quar-
ter of the metropolis, in order to avoid apprehension.
The informant, a lad, about fourteen, of dejected
and distressed appearance, stated that he had often
seen the prisoner and the gang bring home quanti-
ties of pewter pots, and melt them. They had re-
proached him for not pursuing the same line, but
he refused; on which they threatened his life if he
ever gave information. He became alarmed, and
gave information to the police. The prisoner and
the others were in the habit of concealing the pots
in a drain attached to Aleux's brewery in that
neighbourhood.
It was stated :that the publicans in the neigh-
bourhood of the "squares had latterly been consider-
able losers by having their pots stolen. The prac-
tice of servants hanging the pots on the railings, and
carelessly leaving them on the steps of doors,
