downward tendency. Coffee has been in active de-

tation Ceylon, have improved in value. Thee has
been in fair request at fully previous rates, and a
fair amount of business has been transacted in the
new crop of currants, owing to the favourable ad-
°ices from the lonian Islands. Saltpetre and tal-
low have been dealt in to a moderate extent at
about previous values, P.Y.C. on the spot, and for-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ACTING THE PART OP THE GOOD SAMARITAN.—
Sophia Herrington and Eliza Davis, two prostitutes, were
Placed at the bar, chargod with annoying, and stealing
three books from a gentleman, who gave the name of
George Thompson, staying at the Euston Hotel. It ap-
Peared from the complainant's statement that shortly after
12 last night ho was accosted by the elder prisoner (Her-
rington.) Not wishing to have anything to say to her, he
Passed on, but Davis's youthful appearance attracted his
attention. He entered into conversation with her, and
exhorted her to leave off her present miserable existence.
He Was carrying three books under his arm at the time,
which Davis took into her possession, and retained them
whilst they were walking, and he giving her advice
till they reached the Regent Circus, when he, wishing to
leave Davis as well as Herrington, who had joined them,
asked for his books, which they refused to give up, Davis
charging him with having taken liberties with her. He
had given her two shillings to pay her fare to Kennington.
The language they made use of was most disgraceful.
Davis repeated her statement about taking liberties, and
the other prisoner said she denied the charge of annoying.
Mr. Bingham said he did not believe a word of what the
prisoners had said. Davis, who had shown gross ingratitude,
he should send for 14 days, and Herrington for seven
days.

We ( Worcester Chronicle) regret to hear that Mr.
Francis Rufford, formerly member of parliament for this
City, and chairman of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway Company, is now an inmate of a lunatic
asylum at Sutton Coldfield.
We are glad to hear that Mr. George Potts, M.P.
for 13arnstaple, whose dangerous illness we announced a
short time since, is now recovered sufficiently to have been
able to leave town for his marine residence in the south of
Devon.
