CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day,)

OLD COURT.
(Befcre the Recorder.)
CA7TLE STEALING.

James Brown, convicted at the last Sessions, on his own
confession, of stealing a number of cattle from the Essex
Marshes, was placed at the bar for judgment, it having been
respited for the purpose of the surgeon of the jail watching
prisoner, to ascertain tie state of his mind, it being sug-
gested that he was of weak intellect; the result, however,
was to negative that supposition.
Mr. Cooper, on the pert of the prosecution, said a very
great number of cattle had been stolen from the marshes,
but since the apprehens on of the prisoner no more cattle
had been stolen.

Mr. Sleigh, on the part of the prisoner, said the state-
ment ought not to have teen made unless the prisoner was
proved in any way to be concerned in the robbery. It was
most unaccountable that the prisoner, who was in good em-
ployment and bore a geed character, should have stolen
the cattle if in his right mind. and it was shown that his
mind was at times affected.
Tho Recorder said he hid been informed by the surgeon
who had watehed. the prisoner, that there was no ground
for believing that to be tto case. Ho then sentenced the
prisoner to three years' petal servitude.

TILE EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF BURGLARIES

AT C:A.PIIA111.

Jane Hillier, aged 19, was indicted for burglariously en•
tering the house of Walter Miller, on Clapham Common,
and stealing therefrom three coats and a quantity of plate,
of the value of £6O. In the second count she was charged
with receiving the property knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Platt prosecuted, and Mr. Warton defended the
prisoner.

The case, which is an extraordinary one, is contained in
the evidence of John Shepkerd, a police-•sergeant in the
employ of the South-Western Railway, who deposed that
prisoner came up to him in Doyle-street, Lambeth, and said,
" Shepherd, I want to speak to you. I have been to your
house, but you were not at home. Do you know of any bur-
glaries at Clapham lately ? Witness said he knew of several
The prisoner said, " I can tell you who did them. You
know Barney, the man who I live with (witness knew she
lived with a man named Barney). Well, he did them. In
July we went to a gentleman's house at Clapham; Barney
got in, but could not get further than the hall. He only
brought away a lady's mantle. She wore it three or four
days. She then altered the lining, and afterwards, at the re-
quest of Barney, pawned it at Mr. Barnett's, South. place,
Lambeth-walk, for 65., Barney waiting outside. On another
night they went to Clapham-common; Barney got into a gen-
tleman's house near the Furze, and I waited outside. Barney
was gone about two hours and a half. When he came back
he had with him three coats, and a quantity of plate, con-
sisting of forks and spoons. Barney broke up the plate
and sold it for £lB. The coats she pledged at a pawn-
broker's in the Westminster-road. She stated as a reason
for making the statement that Barney had beaten and
illused her, and she wanted to send him away. On a sub-
sequent occasion the prisoner came to him and said all
that sho had told him about Barney was untrue; she how-
ever was willing to admit that she had received the property
and was willing to take it all upon herself. Witness
in the meantime had ascertained the mantle and
coats had been pawned, as stated by the prisoner, and also
that the mantle had been stolen from the house of Miss
Cusack at Clapham. He also ascertained that a burglary
had been committed in the early part of July at the house
of Captain Walter Miller, Broadlands, Clapham •common,
when a quantity of plate and other property, to the amount
of between £6O and £7O, had been stolen. Witness then
took the prisoner into custody.

Evidence was given of tho burglary at Captain Miller's,
and the coat pledged by the prisoner was identified as being
part of the property stolen. The burglary must have been
committed by a small man who obtained an entry through
the pantry window. The coat produced was the property
of Captain Miller.
Mr. Warton made an earnest appeal to the jury on behalf
of the prisoner.

The learned Recorder having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty on the second count,
cf rcecivin,,,,- the property knowing it to be stolen.
A former conviction on her own confession was proved
against the prisoner, when she was sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment. . _

The Recorder said it was quite evident the prisoner was
associated with bad characters• It was necessary she should
be separated from her companions for some time. She was
still very young and might reclaim herself. He then sen-
tenced her to three years' penal servitude.

THE BED SEA AND INDIA TELE-

GRAPH.

The Government have offered to convert the
£BOO,OOO 4 per cent. 50 years guaranteed capital
of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company into
an annuity, payable at the Bank of England ; and
this proposition, which has been made in the follow-
ing form, will be recommended by the directors for
acceptance at the meeting of the shareholders to be
held on the sth of November :
" Treasury Chambers, Oct. 15, 1861.
" Gentlemen,--The Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury have had before them your letter
of the 9th inst., and I am desired by their lordships
to state to you in reply that they had given the best
consideration to the proposition of Sir Macdonald
Stephenson of which the shortness of the time since
the receipt of your letter would allow, and are pre-
pared to agree to the following terms :
" 1. To divest the existing company of all further
responsibility in respect to the affairs of the Red
Sea and India Telegraph, with a view to transfer-
ring the entire concern to the hands of a new com-
pany, on suitable terms and conditions, should any
such company be formed with an amount of capital
sufficient to justify a reasonable hope of the success
of its object.

" 2. To convert the present guarantee into a Go-
vernment annuity of like amount, payable at the
Bank of England, as in the case of other Govern-
ment annuities.

" It would follow from this conversion that all
expenses of disbursements would be defrayed by the
Government.

" 3. To reserve power to the Government to re-
deem this annuity at any time hereafter, on payment
of a capital sum in proportion to the unexpired
period which the annuity may then have to run.
" Your Board is of course aware that no final
step can be taken in such a matter without the ap-
proval of Parliament ; but my Lords undertake, on
the part of her Majesty's Government, in the event
of such new company being established, to have a
bill introduced into Parliament early in the ensuing
session, for carrying into effect the foregoing teams.
Their Lordships abstain, on the present occa-
sion, from entering into detains connected with the
proceedings of the new company, leaving them for
future discussion and arrangement. .
" I am, &c.,

" G. A. HAMILTON.
The Directors of the Red Sea and India

" Telegraph Company."

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS IN NETV I ORK.

Although it was expected that the present Ameri-
can mail would bring important news, the advices
are almost entirely destitute of interest. The New
York public have learnt to disregard the constant
notifications of an approaching battle between the
main armies, and attention was now chiefly concen-
trated on the movements of General Fremont in
Missouri. Very little intelligence, however, is ob-
tained from any source, owing to the vigilant
supervision of the Government over all the journals.
Large purchases of grain and flour continued to be
made on French account, and the pressure of bills
thus created had increased the flatness of the rate of
exchange, which was quoted 107 to 1071. Money
was abundant at 6to 7 per cent. The following
correspondence had taken place with regard to the
income-tax and the foreign holders of American
securities :

"Now York, Sept. 27, 1861.
" Sir,—We beg the favour of your informing us whether
any United States income or other tax will be charged on
coupons, or interest to become due, on American securities
(Government or otherwise) owned by Europeans resident
abroad.

" We propound this query that we may be enabled to
satisfy various foreign correspondents who now hold or may
purchase United States bond., &c., and have written to us
inquiring as to this point. Your answer, we believe, will
be in the negative, judging from the law recently passed,
and if so—it being authoritative—its publication would im-
mediately remove all fear of such taxation from the minds
of European capitalists.

"We have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient
servants, " BARCLAY AND LIVINGSTON.
,-;," Hon. Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury."

"Treasury Department, Oct. 1, 1861.
"Gentlemen,—ln reply to your inquiry of the 27th ult.,
I beg leave to say that the existing laws of the United
States do not impose any tax upon securities of any kind
held by foreigners residing abroad.
" Very respectfully, 3 our obedient servant,
" S. P. CHASE, Secretary to the Secretary.
" Messrs, Barclay and Livingston, New York."
