AN LXPERT THIEF.—John Evans, who was remanded
last week, having been charged with stealing a woman's
cloak, under circumstances previously detailed, and which
disclosed a thorough knowledge of his "art," on the part
of the prisoner, was brought before Sir R. Carden this
morning.

. -
The depositions having been read over,
Sir R. Carden said that he hoped every publicity would
be given to this case, as he was quite satisfied, from the
dexterity displayed by the prisoner in the case of the pre-
sent charge, that he was an experienced hand. Re would
sentence him to three months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

As.the prisoner was leaving the dock, a gentleman en-
tered the court and said ho had a charge to prefer against
him. lie had been staying with his wife and family at
Lloyd's coffee-house, Cambridge Heath-road, Bethnal-
green, last Friday four weeks. He got up about 8 o'clock
in the morning and laid his watch on the mantel-shelf in
the bed-room while he wont down stairs to have his break-
fast. The prisoner occupied a bed-room adjoining his,
and while ho was at his breakfast on the day in question

he saw him come down stairs in a " stealthy" manner. Ills
suspicions were aroused and rushed up stairs, but found
that his watch had disappeared. It was impossible that
any person could have gone up stairs to the bed-room he
had occupied, and where ho left his wife and child without
his seeing them, and although he had never seen the pri-
soner before, he could swear to his identity as the party
who occupied the room adjoining his. Ho had been offered
£6 for the watch, but he estimated its value at £5.
Sir R. Carden having referred to the unexpected illus-
tration which his observations had received by the present
charge, said that in the interest of the public he would
recall the sentence ho had previously passed. The pri-
soner had evidently attained to a high proficiency in the

line into which ho had uufortunatelidiiected his energies.
He would remand him for a week, and he believed by that
time that dome further exploits of the prisoner would come
to light.
The prisoner was accordingly remanded.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been very quiet ; a small quan-
tity of Assam and Indian is announced for public compe-
tition to-day.
SUGAR.—A moderato amount of business has been done
in West India, but only superior qualities have main-
tained previous rates. In the refined market there is no
material change to report as regards prices.
COFFEE.—There has boon a good demand for both plan-
tation and native Ceylon, and prices remain steady. Re-
cent advicea from Ceylon state that the shipments for the
present season will be under the usual average.
RICE.—A fair inquiry has prevailed for cleaned descrip-
tions for home consumption, and the
etransactions for ex-
port have been on a more extensive scale, at fully pre-
vious rates.

'TALLOW.—Business has continued moderately active,
but the dealings have been chiefly of a speculative cha-
racter. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted—old, 41s 9d to 458 ;
new, 45s Gd ; and for last three months' delivery, 45s 9d
to 46s per cwt.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN THE POLICE COURT.
—Yesterday a respectably-dressed man, said to be an en-
gineer, in the Strand, attended the court for the purpose
of seeing that a person he had been bail for surrendered.
While entering the court (there being great pressure at the
time, in consequence of there being a large number of per-
sons from Seven Dials present, to learn the fate of some of
their companions who were locked up), he felt a tug at his
watch chain, and, putting down his hand, felt his watch,
of the value of .£.lO, in the hands of a man, the watch-
chain having been broken. The person robbed at ouco
seized his watch, and felt too delighted at recovering it to
attempt to secure the thief, and he thus escaped.
STREET ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Bartholomew
Prendergrast, a young man, a well known thief, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with
others in stealing a watch with violence from a young
man named Charles Reich, buhl maker, Castle-street,
Oxford-street.

The prosecutor said that on the night of the 28th, while
passing along Margaret-street, the prisoner and some
others came up to him. They said something to him, and
while the prisoner struck him and prevented him giving
an alarm his companions stole his watch. The watch fell
on the ground, and he tried to recover it, in the course of
which ho was again struck, and the prisoner and the
others made off. Last night he saw the prisoner at the
station amongst several others and at once identified him.

In answer to tho prisoner, the prosecutor said he was
positive ho was one of the men.

Sergeant Cole, C Division, said that on the night of the
28th he saw the prisoner and some others running down
Berwick-street, Soho, and as ke knew them all, and be-
lieved something was wrong, he followed them, but could
not overtake them. He had been looking out for the men
ever since, and last evening saw the prisoner going into
his mother's house in John-street, Golden-square, when
he went up and took him into custody.
The prisoner denied stealing the prosecutor's watch,
but when taken to the station, placed amongst several
others, and identified by the prosecutor, he made no an-
swer to the charge.
Mr. Tyrrwitt remanded the prisoner.
George Cole said he believed lie should connect the
prisoner with, another robbery, two persons for which
were then in custody and under remand.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a good supply of foreign stock on sale hero
to-day, for tho time of year, in but middling condition.
The trade ruled firm at enhanced quotations.

Several of the railway companies having refused to for-
ward stock to London, the supply of home-fed beasts on
offer this morning was limited. The demand for all breeds
was therefore active, at Gd per 81b above the rates current
on Monday last. Primo Scots, &c., readily produced 5s Gd
per 81b. The general quality of the stock exhibited
was good. Last evening there were between 2,000 and
3,000 beasts ready at the different stations in the agricul-
tural counties for this market, but the whole of them were
drawn back to the various farms.

The number of English beasts on offer was about 400, of
Scotch 370, and of Irish 50.
With sheep we were again rather scantilysupplied. All
breeds moved off froely at fully last week's currency.
Downs and half-breds in the wool sold at 6s 6d to 6s 10d ;
out of the wool, 5s 4d per 81b. The quality of the sheep
was good.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, which commanded
a ready sale at from 7s 6d to 8s per 81b.
The supply of calves was limited, and the veal trade was
firm at from 5s 8d per 81b.

Thero was a steady sale for pigs at full quotations, viz.,
from 4s to 5s per 81b.

MARK LANE.

The trado for wheat in the country markets hold on
Saturday was very quiet. All good and fine samples, how-
ever, were hold at and commanded full prices, but inferior
produce was difficult of disposal. Barley ruled firm, and
the value of good and fine malting produce had an upward
tendency. For other articles thero was only a moderate
inquiry, at late rates.

On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, at late prices.
Oats are in request, and sell at full quotations; but for
those articles the trade is quiet. The export demand for
wheat, flour, and maize at Now York is very moderate
nevertheless, prices have slightly improved. The lead-
ing feature in the New York export trade in breadstuffs is
a demand for oats for shipment to Great Britain.
Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of wheat
from Essex was very moderate, but there was a fair show
of Kent produce on the stands. The condition of the pro-
duce exhibited no improvement. The bulk of the supply
being of very poor quality. The few dry samples on offer
changed hands at fully last Monday's currency; other-
wise, the English wheat trade was dull, and a clearance of
the supply was with difficulty effected. The prices of in-
ferior English wheat were irregular, but were without
change from this day se'nnight.

The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
Dry samples were in request, and realised fully late rates.
For other kinds the trade was firm, at quite last Monday's
currency.

There was a steady demand for floating cargoes of grain,
and prices ruled firm.
The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. Good
and fine malting qualities were in demand, and prices were
rather on the advance. For other kinds of barley the
trade was steady, at full quotations.

The malt trade was firm, and prices had an upwar,
tendency.

BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATEN-T.

Received the Prize from the Agricultural Hall, 1864,
JOHN COPPARD and CO.,
Patentees and Inventors of Appliances for
ROUGHING HORSE SHOES, AND ANTI-SNOW
CORRODING PLATES,
84, FLEET-STREET, LONDON, E.C.
We respectfully beg to call your attention to our Patent
Roughing Appliances, which are now perfection, and
effectually answer the purpose of roughing without remov-
ing or preparing the shoes.
The patentees' experience having taught them the use-
lessness of roughing when the snow is on the ground, in
consequence of the snow clogging the feet, they have in-
troduced the Anti-snow Corroder, which consists of a
metal plate so arranged as to resist the snow, thus prevent-
ing the foot balling (as it is termed).
In recommending the Patent Roughs, &c., we submit the
following among the many advantages :
A great saving of time; they can be instantly applied
and as speedily removed. The shoes of the horse have not
to be taken off or prepared. They may be with the horse
at all times, yet only used when required ; in fact, they are
so simple, a lad can fix them in a few seconds, rendering
the horse perfectly safe on his feet, and the price is consi-
derably less than paid for the old method of roughing.
PRICE 3s. THE SET OF 4. Straps Extra.
Communications or orders (with remittance) will receive
prompt attention By BeyoyAuArsi very respectfully,t
CO.,
D the Patentees.

National Portrait Exhibition.

From the following general report an idea may
be formed of what this Exhibition is likely to be :
" Already portraits have been received represent-
ing several of the Plantagenets and the personages
distinguished in their reigns. Of Henry VIII. there
are 16 portraits, with portraits of each of his six
wives, and the most important personages of his
reign. Of his scn, Edward VI., there are 11 por-
traits, with portraits also of the Seymour, Northum -
berband, and other great families.
Of Queen Mary there are 10 portraits, and of her
sister Elizabeth 27 ; Mary Queen of Scots, 16 ;
Lady Jane Grey, Darnley, Rizzio, Raleigh, and the
great military chiefs and statesmen of the reign,
also Shakspere, Ben Jonson, and Spencer.

James I. and his
_Queen are :well represented,
Lady Arabella Stuart, the favourite Buckingham,
with the distinguished churchmen, jurists, and
statesmen of the time.

Charles 1., by the hand of his great painter Van-
dyck, will live again in the exhibition, with his
Queen and family, his Court, and the heroes of the
Civil IVar. His reign is represented by no less than
240 portraits.

In the Commonwealth Cromwell and his family
will be conspicuous with the Generfils who led the
Parliamentary troops and the chiefs of the Long
Parliament.

Charles IL, his courtiers and courtesans, no less
than those who have earned a better distinction,
will be represented by altogether 190 portraits, and
the exhibition, extending down to 1683, will in-
clude James 11., his wife, the Duke of Monmouth,
the seven bishops, Jeffries, Bunyan, and many
others.

lEA'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
A is. lid., and 2s. 9d. This invaluable medicine always
relieves in a short time the pain of these complaints, how-
ever acuteit may be, effectually obviates injury to any
vital organ, and, if persevered in, will effect a cure when
every other has failed. This fact is fully proved by the
many testimonials from persons of every grade. No one
subject to the above disorders should ever be without
them, the relief after a few doses being almost incredible.
These Pills are net like the generally advertised curatives
for these maladies, which cause sickness, diarrhoea, pains
in the head, and debilitate the constitution ; but, on the
contrary, they not only speedily eradicate the complaint,
but also strengthen and purify the system, a desideratum
not to be attained byany other remedy extant. In Sciatica,,
and Lumbago, the Pills are alike efficacious.
Testimonials sent free on application. Prepared by. G.
