NEW COURT.

John White was indicted for stealing a cask, the property
of James Clifford Parker, a vintner.
William Star, a servant of the prosecutor, stated that on
the 11 th of May, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he ob-
served the prisoner roll a cask from his employer's premises.
The prisoner was dressed as a drayman, and in answer to a
question by witness, he said he was about to take the cask to
the owner, an ale-brewer in the Hackney-road. Witness told
him he had no right to do so, and gave him into the custody
of an officer.

The prisoner in his defence said that a strange man ordered
him to take the cask into the Hackney-road.
The Jury found a verdict of Guilty.

The settlement of the foreign account has gone off
so much better than was anticipated, that business has returned
to the same state, or nearly so, as usual ; and it is taken for
granted that the effects of the panic are at an end. No de-
faulters of any consequence have been declared, though the
opportune rise of prices since last Friday has prevented many
names, probably, from being added to the number. Of the
nature of the shock sustained, which has fallen chiefly, in this
instance, on the members of the Stock-Exchange, some notion
may be formed when it is stated, that since the Ist of May the
fall in Spanish Scrip was 30 per cent., and on Spanish
Stock per cent., reckoning from the highest to the lowest
prices quoted, with many intermediate fluctuations. The
fall during the same period was 19 per cent. on the Por-
tuguese 5 per Cents., and 21 per cent. on the 3 per Cents. ;
on Colombian 19 per cent., and very considerable on
all the South American securities. When the total amount of
stock on which this enormous depreciation took place within so
short a space of time is considered, which is not less nomi-
nally than 40,000,0001. or 50,000,0001., it will not be so
much matter of surprise that extensive ruin followed it, as that
any body of men, however well connected and liberally sup-
ported, were able to sustain the shock at all. The more pru-
dent capitalists, who are also the largest and most wealthy of
the city, abstain wholly, it should be observed, from such
transactions, either directly or indirectly. The effects of the
panic were confined therefore to a very small circle, and the
transactions of the other classes of the monied interest were
only disturbed by it in a very slight degree. Much benefit is,
on the whole, anticipated from it, by discouraging speculation
and putting an end almost entirely to time bargains in the fo-
reign funds, which was the principal cause of the mischief.
An action to recover damages for crim. con., which
is likely to create great discussion, is set down for trial in the
Court of Common Pleas, for the sittings after the present
Term. Both parties arc clergymen, and reside in an adjoin-
ing county. The plaintiff is the Rev. Mr. Birch, sen of Mr.
Alderman Birch : the defendant, Mr. 'Neale, is the curate en-
gaged in the same parish in which Mr. Birch resides. The
damages which the Rev. plaintiff seeks to recover for the loss
of his wife are laid at 5,000/.—Morning Paper.
