Curring, a stableman, was brought before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with having storm a bridle and bit, the
property of Mr. John And: rson, horse-dc a'er, 48, Gr.. en-
street.
Arthur Hayes, foreman in the employ of the prosecu-
tor, deposed that the prisoner was in their employ as
stableman. On Wednesday last a bridle was missing
from one t. f the stables in the yard, and as it could not
be found, he called all the men together and gave each
of them a piece of paper, on which they were desired to
write the name of the man whom they suspected to be
the thi, f. Witness al terwards collected the papers, and
on examining them, he fined that ;lore were seven who
suspected the prisoner. Witness then called him
on one side and taxed him with at aling
the bridle, which ha strongly denied. A con-
stable was subsequently called, and the prisoner was
given in charge on suspicion. The constable, of er
locking up the prisoner, went the lodgings cf the
latte-, which he Era-cher', and in a lack room behind a
door he found the bridle produced, which he (witness)
identified es tle property of his master.
The prisoner, in dtfence' said he did net take the
bridle with the intention of stealing it. He was in
want f money rt the time, and merely took it t r pledge,
intending to r' deem it on buterday nigl t, and replacing
it in the stable.
Mr. HARDWICK sa"d distress was no excuse fur the
prisoner taking his employer's property. He (prisoner)
might as well have taken a silver spoon or any tying else
he could lay his hands on. As a warning to others, he
(Mr. Hardwick) should commit him f ,r trial.

MARKET IN E.--(THIS DAY.)

Co RN-EXCIIAN GE.—FRIDAY.
Since Stt,trday last the arrivals of English Wheat for
our mat ket, coastwise, have not exceeded 1,210 quarters.
BY railway the receipts have been tilling. To-day
several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer, owing
19 whieh,,the t'iin attendance of millers, and the con-
tutted pressure of foreign Flour for sale, the demand for
allkinds t f Wheat of home produce was heavy in the
extreme. and, in some instances, Vie quotations were a
shade lower, without eff,cting a clearance. Bather
under 2,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this
Week. The trade with that article, however, was greatly
&pressed, end the out of-condition sorts were lower to
Purchat.e. Barley, the show of which was good, ruled
dull at barely the Lte decline in value. The quantity
or Malt ready for delivery was trifling; yet the 541 e for
that a. title was in a very inactive state, at last week's
rotations. Good sound Oats were scarce, and quite as
ear. Tt e middling and inferior qualities ruled very
dull. Beans, Fes., Indian Corn and Flour, were heavy.

Beasts as to number and quality. Although the atten-
dance of buyers was small, and the dead markets heavily
,auPplied with each kind of Meat, the Beef trade was
tolerably steady, at fully Monday'a quotations. The
°how of foreign stock was trifling. Very few Sheep
were on offer; nevertheless, the demand tor that de-

HOW TO SUBDUE FEROCIOUS

ANIMALS.
TO THE EDIIOIt OF THE SUN.

Beasts,
54

SIR,—It is to be hoped that the tragedy of the
" Lion Queen" will lead to a suppression of some
very foolish doings practised in our menageries.
The being confined is, to wild beasts, a sufficient
trial of pati-nce, without being tormented for the
amusement of a parcel of gaping sight-seeing simple-
tons. But if ferocions animals are to be kept for ex-
hibition, their wants must be attended to ; a person
may, in ministering to their comforts, be attacked
without any provocation on his part; a savage
animal, a male tiger for instance, may spring upon
and seize with his merciless jaws his attendant. In
such a case I w0u1,4, to save the life of the at
tendant and to spare that of his assailant, recommend
the application of a red-hot iron rod to the tail of the
latter; for upon its application he will instantly let
go his hold to see what is being done to his rear, and
when he has discovered that heated iron is no plea-
sant thing to be in contact with, he will beat his
retreat, and that right speedily too.
I am inclined to an opinion that the most savage
tiger Bengal can furnish would, after he has learned
by experience one of the properties of iron heated to
redness, be awed into submission by a sight only of a
red-hot poker. If therefore, there be the slightest
fear of insubordination in the menagerie, bring into
operation a portable furnace, and quickly heat some
pokers in readiness for services should they be re-
quired.—l am, Sir, &c.,

I'HE, CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—A letter in your paper cf this day gives a
statement about the merits of the schoolmaster of the
Caledonian Asylum, signed " A Guardian." Will
you allow another to state that the postscript, which
alleges that the schoolmaster of the Asylum is a
protege of Dr. Cumming, has not one word of truth
in it to my certain knowledge; and were the parties
writing to you on the Caledonian Asylum either to
make themselves acquainted with facts, or honestly
state them, the unfair, grossly untrue, and injurious
accusations against the
_charity would not so fre-
quently appear. One would hope that the claims (,f
poor children will weigh where truth does not.

PRINCESS'S.—This elegant theatre has become the
fashionable resort, and is nightly crowded in every part.
Macfarreu's popular opera, Ring Chari?.9 the Second, has
been revived, and its attraction is greater than ever—
that and the pantomime, King Jumie ; or, Harlequin and
the Magic Fiddle, are the magnets of the day. The fol-
lowing distinguished personages have been among the
vi,itors:—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cam-
bridge, the Lukes of Devonshire, Leeds, Montrose, and
Bedford; Lords Verularr, Cfarleville, Ward, Ranelagb,
&c.; the lion. Mrs. Gore, Sir J. Hawn', Sir H. Webb,
with largo parties. The present pantomime will no
doubt have as greet a run as its predecessor, Bluff King
Hal. Flexmore, the best of all clowns, is as usual, full
of activity, and keeps his audience convulsed with
laughter. His dancing, too, .is inimitable; Taglioni,
Carlotta Grisi, Rosati and Cerito, the pets of the ballet,
can never be forgotten while they have such a capital
imitator. The other pantomimists, Messrs. Paulo, Bo-
logne, Wright, Lebarr, and Miss Fawcett, are without
exception the hest in Londee. Great praise is also due
to Mr. Emden, fir the care he has taken in putting it on
the stage.
MEETING OF JOURNEYMEN TAlLORS.—Yesterday
evening a very large meeting of the journeimen tailors
of the metropolis was held at Exeter Hall, for the pur-
pose, as was stated in the advertisement, "cf exposing
the evils of the slop-sweating and middleman system,
and also the injurious effects a the Government con-
tracts and prison labour, and to petition Parliament to
make it compulsory on all masters to have their work
done on the premises" The chair was taken at half-
past seven o'clock by Mr. Thos. Reynolds, and the meet-
ing was addressed by working tailors, and also by a few
mater tailors, who equally condemned the evils of the
practice of the tra3e which the meeting was assembled
to discuss. In the course of the proceedings several
tailors were mentioned by rime who had countenanced
this syst+ in, and it was stated amongst other evils of its
operation, that the orders given by persons of rank and
wealth in the dashing shops of the West-end were gene-
rally executed in the most miserable and poverty-stricken
localities, where frequently infective diseases peculiar to
such localities prevailed. 'This was the result of a sys-
tem which, by interposing between the employer and the
worker, cut down the wages of labour to an almost
nominal sum. Thus one house would give 7s. for making
a cow, but it was to a person who gave it to others,
whom he paid only ss. for performing the same work.
This was not dcue indiscriminately, however, for such
only were entrusted with the making up of a garment
who could afford to give security fir the value of the
property. Those who could not were obliged to get
their work from those who could, and fir making a coat
these more humble operatives only received 35., and the
subdivision did not always stop there. Tht so and other
matters were discus. ed at great, length, and the meeting
was unanimous in passing resolutions in conformity
with Ile objects expluued Above.
