There was a large supply of foreign sheep on sale here
to-day, chiefly from Germany, via Hambro'. The show of
beasts and calves was tolerably good.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh
up thie morning were seasonably good as to number, and
for the most part in fair average condition. Tho attendance
of buyers was large, and the demand for all breeds ruled
steady, at in some instances an advance in the quotations of
2d per Sibs. _ The. best Scots sold without difficulty at 5s
per 81bs. • • _ _

- The animals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,500 Scots and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 1,100 various breeds; and from Scotland,
170 Scots and crosses.

Prime Down and long-woolled sheep moved off steadily,
at an improvement in value of 2d per Blbs. —the former
having realised 6d—but inferior breeds sold slowly ; never-
theless the quotations were well supported. There were
about 2,000 shorn sheep in the market, and which sold at
_ _ _

ld per Blbs. beneath those in the wool. Very few lambs
were brought forward, and the sale for them was inactive.
Prices ranged from 6s 4d to 7s 4d per 81bs.
Calves, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
slowly at last week's prices.
IVe have to report an inactive demand for pigs, and the
currencies exhibited a tendency to give way.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

The February sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, at the Old Bailey, before the
Lord Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Sheriffs.
The calendar contains the names of 73 persons for trial,
63 being males and 10 females.

The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said although
the number of prisoners awaiting trial was not larger than
usual, the offences with which some of them were charged
were very serious. There was a charge of fraudulent bank-
ruptcy against a person named Gandell, and also
a charge of stealing a large quantity of tallow
made against Robert Fraser North, who formerly carried
on the trade of a Russia broker in the City. Another
serious indictment was that preferred against Richard
Corrie Bache, who was charged with embezzling nearly
£7,000. It was of the highest importance to the commer-
cial world that the whole of these charges should be
thoroughly investigated, and the duty of the grand
jury would be to determine, after the hearing of the whole
evidence, whether there was sufficient evidence to enable
them to return true bills in all the cases he had referred to.
The offence of uttering counterfeit coin he regretted to find
still continued, but by caution he thought it might in a►
great degree be prevented. He did not anticipate any diffi-
culty would arise in the execution of their duty, but if it
did the Court would most readily render every assistance.
The grand jury then retired to their room.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Two men, named Corder and Buckley, were indicted for
stealing a watch from the person of a foreigner, on the 12th
February.

From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was a
captain of a foreign vessel, and on the evening in question,
about half past six o'clock, he was in Old Gravel-lane,
when he was violently attacked by three men and
robbed of his watch. He was unable to identify
any of the persons positively as the parties by whom he
was attacked, but he believed that one at least of the pri-
soners was the person who seized him by the throat while
the others stole his watch. The police apprehended both
prisoners together, and Corder was seen in the neighbour-
hood half an hour before the robbery was effected.
Tho jury found the prisoner Corder guilty and acquitted
Buckley.

Former convictions having been proved against Corder,
he Recorder sentenced him to four years' penal servitude.

POLICE IN7ELLIry'ENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

HOUSEBREAKERS ♦T LORD ELCRO'S.—John Thomas
and John Roberts, two rough, powerful-looking fellows,
were charged, before Mr. Beadon, with being found in the
balcony of the house of Lord Elcho, M.P., No. 23, St.
James's-place, for the purpose of committing a felony.
The court was much crowded during the hearing of the
case.

Francis Charteris Lord Elcho, colonel of the Scottish
Voltinieers,-0f23;5t. Jamers,pla<said—ln conscquenee
of something that happened tm the night of Thursday
last, on' Saturday night, instead, of going home by
St. James's-street, I ‘vont": St. James's-park.
Nothing attracted my attention, but I saw a
woman standing near my holiso: as- if watching. This
was about 8 o'clock. Having been let in I walked up to
the drawing-room, where I remained about five minues,
and then Lady Elcho having gone tt:_> her bed-room, I went
up to the nursery to speak to the nursery-maid respecting
an attempt to enter the premises on the Thursday, and
while doing so Lady Elcho called me down, and having
listened at the bed-room window, I distinctly heard some
persons attempting to enter the premises by the window.
Lady Elcho went down and alarmed the servants, and one
went into the garden to prevent any escape from below. I
remained at the window. Great force appeared to be used
at the- window in the attempt to open it. Two
men, servants in the neighbourhood, then came into the
room, and I gave charge of the window to them, and went
down into the garden. I called out to the men, and told
them that it was no use attempting to escape as the place
was surrounded. The next I saw was the window open
and the men on the balcony. The police then came, and
they were taken into custody. I have since seen marks on
the window which correspond with an implement, I believe,
called a "jemmy." One of the prisoners asked to be for-
given. The window is a verandah window.
James Newnham, 96 C, said—l was called to the house
of Lord Elcho,, being told there were burglars there. I
went into the garden and saw two men on the balcony. On
going up stairs the servants told me the prisoners were the
two men. I searched the prisoners 14nt found nothing on
them.

Michael Giffard, GO A, said I was called on Saturday
night to Lord Elcho's, and found th© two prisoners there.
The last witness took Roberts, and I took Thomas into cus-
tody. On searching Thomas I found on him a piece of
brass chain and a knife. Yesterday (Sunday) morning I
found in the west garden, two "jemmies," and on com-
paring the marks on the windows, &c., I find they corre-
spond. Underneath the balcony some lucifers and a piece
of taper were also found.

The prisoners, who beau very bad characters—Thomag
being only lately released from four years' penal servitude—
were then remanded for a week,
