ship intimating that but fir her age he would be dis-

imprisonment.

BOMBAY, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24.
Money still continues abundant, and discounts easy,
and there is likely to be a continuance of this state of
affairs for some time to come. Government securities
have maintained their value, the open loan being at par
to per cont. discount. Fours have been sold at 85.
Shares are comparatively nrgleeted, but we bear of
some transactions in those of the Bank of Bombay at
20 per cent. premium. Orientals we quote at 161 per
cent, discount, and Agras at 41 per cent. discount.
The import market during the past month has been,
as usual during the early part of the monsoon, almost
totally inactive—the only sales effected being the con-
sumption on the spot. By the end of the rains the up-
country markets will have become bare, and should the
season prove a favourable one, a brisk trade may be
looked for. A largo number of vessels with supplies
have arrived since the date •of our last report, but while
the present high prices for cotton aro maintained, we
can look but tor light supplies of .Manchester goods.
The cotton market continues extremely active, and is
the only article of export inquired after.
Cotton Piece Goods—To effect sales in any descrip-
tion of piece goods a reduction on last month's rates has
to be submitted to. Those chit fly iu request are 40-
inch and 45-inch grey, and 72 reed white shirtings of
the middling and superior qualities, and the best de-
scriptions of jacconets. Grey shirtings have sold to ex-
ter.t of 1,900 pieces, at prices varying from sr. 3a. to
6r. per piece ; and bleached jaecow!ts 1,800 pieces at
from air. to sir. p.p. In other descriptions there have
been but few transactions.

The s:.,conci ind:etment was against another witness,
who bad also given evidence on the same occasion
against Mr. Sney d; but on Mr. Whateley
the defendant was prepared to admit that he was mis-
taken in swearing what he did, the charge was not pro-
ceeded with, and a verdict of acquittalwas taken by
consent.saying that

WESTERN CIRCUIT —Bodmin, July 27.
• CROWN COURT.
There were the names of twenty-four prisoners in the
calendar.
William Gibson pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with setting fire to a rick.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, in sentencing the prisoner,
said that he had stated he wiehed to bo transported. Tbs..
Court was not in the habit of attending to the wishes of
prisoners, but in such a case as this he must he trans-
ported ; let it, howev:r, not be supposed that transpor-
tation was merely a removal from one country to
another, and that the prisoner would there have the op-
portunity of bettering his condition. He would first be
kept in separate confinement for twelve months ; he
would then most likely be sent to Portland, and be sub-
ject to very severe and hard labour at the breakwater;
and after bent there for a long time, be would be sent
out of the country. The sentence was that ho should be
transported for ten years.
Robert Hood, aged 62, was convicted of a rape upon a
little girl, and was sentenced to 20 years' transportation.
Thomas Baker, jun., was indicted for striking and
beating William Coles about the head, from which
beating and striking he died.
Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted, and Mr. Collier defended
the prisoner.

Cotton Yarn—The sales during the month amount to
111 bales (chiefly No. 20's) mule, and 250 bales (chiefly
No. 30's) water twist, 70 bales orange yarn, and 25 bales
Turkey red yarn. Best qnality orange realizes 11-7-, at
12 annas, and Turkey red, 1.41 r. per lb.
Metals—Copper—Sheathing, tiles, and braz;ers', are
firm and in good demand. A small quantity direct from
Australia has sold for 474 r. per cwt. Iron—Swedish
bar is in request, while British bar, nail rod, sheet and
hoop and Swedish steel, are but little inquired for. Leal
—Sheet as before, dull; pig in request.
Cochineal—We have heard of a sale of 2,0001b5., at
2r. 3a. per lb. The market is dull, but prices remain
firm.
Saffron—No transactions.

IC appeared that the deceased was a farmer. On the
27th of May he was at a public-house called the New
Inn, at Week St. Mary. The prisoner came into the
room in a most excited btate, being intoxicated, and
off:red to fight any one there. At length he addressed
the deceased, and endeavoured in every way to induce
him to fight. He provoked him very much, but the de-
ceased said he would not fight, although he was not
afraid. The prisoner then struck him two blows, one
over the eye, and the other under the ear. After the
last blow the deceased fell from his seat, and in a few
minutes died.

Woollens—The only sales effected during the month
have been 144 pieces scarlet, 54 inch 22 yards, at lir.;
and 8 pieces 62 inch 19 yards, at 2i.. per 3ard. In
flannels we hear of sales of 100 pieces at 7,100 at 10a.,
and 75 at 9a. per yard.
Beer, Wine, and Spirits—ln Allsopp's, Bass's, and
Flodgson's, beer, large sales have been made during the
month. In wines and spirits there has been little doing.
Mor'ne Stores—The only sale we have heard of is one
f 150 cwt. cordage, at 19:. per cwt. Oil of linseed is i❑
some slight demand; paints and spirits of turpentine, as
also canvas and twine, very dull.

The surgeon said, be considered the deceased died
from apoplexy, which might hare been occasioned by the
blow. He did not make a post mortem examination, be-
cause the coroner's jury did not wish it.
The witness, upon being pressed in cross-examina-
tion, went into all kinds of possibilities. The deceased
might have beon attacked with apoplexy even without
a blow. He was a stoat subject, and therefore liable to
apoplexy; and from the surgeon's evidence it would
seem that, not having had a pest mortem examination,
he could not tell much about it, and he could not
say anything, in fact, that was of any value upon
the subject.

The jury found the prisioner Guilty of a common
assault; and he was sentenced, after a severe admoni-
tion from the judge, to three months' imprisonment.
The assizQa for Cornwall commenced on Friday at
twelve o'clock, and ended on Saturday at two o'clock.
During cur remembrance the judges have been com-
pelled to sit early and late for a week to get through the
business. Certainly the promotion of Mr. Cockburn and
the illness of Sergeant Kinglake, who was compelled on
that account to leave Thrchester, and has not been able
to come here, may have had something to do with the
small quantity of business, for these gentlemen having
been retained, the attorneys were placed in an unex-
pected position. It is expected that Mr. Slade will be
made a Queen's Counsel before the conclusion of the
circuit. Parties feel heavily the loss they have sus-
tained in the promotion of the Solicitor-General.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WESTMINSTER.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES BY A LADY'S MAID, and
CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICEMEN.—Mary Ann Raw-
lings (who has lived as a lady's-maid in several families
of distinction), John Martin, 36 B, and Charles Murray,
171 B, who had been remanded—the female prisoner
charged with steeling two gold watches, a valuable
brooch, a silver teapot, and other property, from General
Sir Colin Halkett, Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and
the two latter with having feloniously received the
brooch, were brought up for final examination.
There were other charges against the female prisoner,
and a second against Martin.
Sir Colin and Lady Halkett, Sir Fortunatus and
Lady Dwarris, and other persons of condition interested
in the proceedings, were accommodated with seats on the
bench.

A gentleman from the office cf Mr. Humphreys, soli-
citor, attended on behalf of the male prisoners.
The voluminous evidence, which has been already de-
tailed, having been read over,
Lucy Barton, laundress, 23, William-street, Portland-
town, produced some lace habit-shirts and a pair of cuffs,
which had been brought to her by the female prisoner on
the 11th inst. to wash.

Lady Leitia llalkett proved that the female prisoner
had begin in her service as lady's maid, three weeks up to
the Ist instant, and identified the several articles pro-
duced upon this and the former occasion.
I❑ reply to a question from the male prisoner's advo-
cate, her Ladyship could not state the exact value of the
brooch, which had been presented to her some years ago
by the General. It might be valued about 61. It be-
longod to a set, other portions of which she produced.

Sir Colin Ha!keit was called to negative it statement
made by the female prisoner. In reply to the inquiry
from Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, whether he had over
given her the brooch, he replied that ho had not. He
could not tell the value of the brooch.

--As thi; concluded the case against the accused, they
were severally addressed in the words of the statute by
Mr. BRODERIP, who inquired whether they wished to
say anything?
The female replied in the negative, and the male
prisoners' legal adviser reiterated the arguments used
by Murray on his previous examination, and solicited his
discharge at once.

Mr. BRODERIP refused to accede to this request
which was strongly pressed by the advocate, until he
had beard the other cases which were to be brought
forward.

The next case was then proceeded with.
Sarah Smith, female searcher at the Pimlico station,
proved finding a stocking marked " Rosa Platt" on the
female prisoner's person, and another similarly marked
and apparently its fellow in her box.
Mr. Samuel Platt, magistrate for the county of Mid-
dlesex, residing at 10, Hyde Park gardens, stated that
the prisoner entered his service as one of the lady's-
maids, on the 23d of April, and remained a fortnight.
After identifying the handwriting upon the stockings as
Mrs. Platt's, Mr. Platt stated that he had discharged
the prisoner on suspicion of robbing the kitchen-maid of
half a sovereign. He then went through a long list of
articles, including silk stockings, &c., which had been
missed from his house immediately after the prisoner's
departure.
Mr. BR,DERIP iequired whether he had received a
character with the prisoner? Mr. Platt replied that he
had rvcc'scd a good character with the prisoner from
Lady Manners.
The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said that
Miss Rosa Platt threw the stockings out of her drawer.
Accused knew nothing about the half-sovereign.
In the 119Zt
case the prisoner Martin was included in
the charge, and again placed in the dock by the side of
the female prisoner.

In her re-examination by Mr. BRODERIP, Miss Bre-

pay the visit at her sister°s.
The female prisoner, in reply to this charge, said
she knew nothing about either the pin or the watch, and
feller rt,ave them t) Martin.
Mr. Roberts teas recalled to ascertain whether he could
identify the female prisoner upon another charge with
toference to tome valuable table•linen, without which
identification the case could not be supported. Mr. Ro-
berts said he should be most happy to assist the ends of
justice;but he could not identify the person who had
pawned the property, an interval of 13 months having
since elapsed.
Mt. BRODERIP said he should commit the prisoner
Rawlings upon the sereral charges brought against her.
He expressed his opinion that he did not think the male
prisoners had any reason to feel surprised at the situa-
tion in which they were placed; but the question was not
whethei they had acted prudently or properly, consider-
ing their position, but whether there was sufficient
dence to warrant a committal. He thought that there
way, but it was so fir from conclusive that he would ac-
cept two sureties in 30/. each for their appearance at the
sessions.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
CHICHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT.—The entries far the
plates, &c.. closed this evening at Goodwood, and if one
or two did not come np to the mark—the Craven Stakes
and Cowdray Stakes, the Stewards' Cup, Inkeepers',
Anglesey, and Queen's Plates, filled better than usual,
proving that there were plenty of horses in the neigh-
bourhood, and that the daily average of racing is likely
to come up to the amount we mentioned last week. The
pen was drawn through a considerable number of two and
three years old, and several engagements were thus re-
duced within narrow dimensions. For the Ham and
Goodwood Stakes, the Nursery Plate, and the Cups, the
fields will be larger than appear to have been generally
anticipated.
The two and five o'clock trains this afternoon left
London-bridge station with immense freights, but num-
bers having stopped at Brighton, Worthicg, or Bognor,
with the intention of abiding there during the races, the
proportion which reached Cnichester was confined almost
exclusively to the sporting classes, for whose accomoda-
don the Subscription Betting-room was opene 1 as usual;
not a bet, however, was laid.
A large and distinguished party is assembled at Good-
wood, where open house will be kept to the close of the
week. A good deal of rain fell this evening, about seven
o'clock, and the prospects of the meeting in respect of
weather are dubious.
TUESDAY.—The weather this morning, contrary to
expectation, turned out fine, and having continued so
throughout the day, we are enabled so far to record a
favourable commencement of the meeting. The sport,
too, was ample and interesting, but the attendance did
not, either in number or rank, come up to the standard.
The list of the fashionables, and of the Goodwood and
Molccomb parties, we must defer until to-morrow.
The following return will show that four great " cer-
t duties" did not come off, and that the " fielders" found
some consolation for a long run of ill luck.
