UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Greaves, John Graham, and William Bennett,
were charged with stealing fOO cwt. of iron, the property
of Sir John Rennie, at Bankside.

A policeman on duty on Bankside, at four o'clock, this
morning, hearing a noise on Sir John Rennie's premises,
proceeded there, and found the above quantity of iron
had been removed to an adjacent wharf. He also saw
three men running out of the yard towards the river-side,
and, on examination, the three prisoners were found con-
cealed in a barge close to the spot. Since the prisoner's
p,ppreliension, another man, named Bryant, a marine
store-dealer, in Broadwall, was taken into custody, in the
act of removing a large quantity of iron in a cart from
his house, the greater portion of which was identified as
having been stolen from Sir John Rennie's premises.
The prisoners were remanded.
Elizabeth Taylor and Sarah Corben, two young women,
recently in the service of. Mr. Beale, a solicitor, of Maid-
stone, were charged with embezzling 401., the property of
their master.

It appeared the prisoners were entrusted with the
above sum, at various times, for the purpose of paying off
the tradesmen's bills in the town. Instead, however, of
discharging the bills, they both absconded, and were
taken into custody in London, having taken lodgings on
this side of the water, and both were dressed out in the
first style of fashion.—The prisoners were remanded.

WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENT, IN PERTH.—
The admirers of Scotia's minstrelsy enjoyed a luscious
treat on Monday evening, when Mr. Wilson, the
sweetest of her minstrels, made his appearance once
more in our theatre. We never heard that admired
vocalist in better voice. His command over its pecu-
liarly pliant texture, for the expression of the alterna-
tives of the humourous and the pathetic, was never
more conspicuous than on this occasion. In these days,
when he has so many imitators, not rivals—so many
who have entered the walk which he •first and origi-
nally chalked out as his own—so many who furtively, in
a sense, have attempted to occupy the field which he first
so successfully cultivated—in these circumstances, we
say, it is refreshing to listen to the melting, and the ex-
hilirating strains of the original Wilson, undiminished in
his powers, but rather, as evidenced in his exertions of
Monday evening, soaring above himself.—Perth Paper,
a Nov. 13.

Prime mutton is now selling at Wetton-under-
Elge, Gloucestershire, at 40. per lb. The contract for
mutton for the the Dursley Union for the next three
months was taken a few days age at 30. per lb.—Bristol

Maranham at 41d. to 5d., and American at 34d. to sd.

Much disappointanent has been expressed in the City
this morning by merchants connected with the Canada
trade, at the non-arrival of letters by the Acadia
steamer. It was supposed that the mail from Boston
had been delayed by heavy falls of snow, as the bags
were not received at the time the steamer left Halifax.
A file of papers, however, has been received from Que-
bec and Montreal, at the North and South American
Coffee-house, which contain a good deal of shipping
news. Sir Charles Metcalfe appears to have been most
successful in the elections.

By the Acadia late advices have been received from
the United States—viz., to the Ist init. Electioneering
for the rresidency was the universal order of the day.
The success of Mr. Clay was held to be certain. The
shipments of the new crop of cotton was proceeding with
the greatest activity; 1 r 3,500 bales having been put on
board, against 19,200 bales in the corresponding period
of last year. The season fur exporting the new crop is
dated from the Ist October.

We learn from Vera Cruz that an English vessel had
arrived there, having on board an extraordinary courier,
who proceeded immediately to the residence of Santa
Anna. The report was, that he had most important
dispatches from the British Government, by which the
probability was increased that the war with Texas would
not be prosecuted.
It is stated in the letters from Tampico that a con-
ductor had arrived there with two millions of dollars, the
largest, we believe, on record. It was guarded by 300
men. It would be shipped as soon as possible for Eng-
land. Business was extremely dull at Tampico, but the
general health of the place was good.
It has been imagined by many in the City, from the
few remarks made under this head, who true to the con-
tract for the new French loan, that the biddings for that
portion of it, declared open to tender, had been actually
taken. The biddings are to be made on the 9th of next
month, and the reason why the Parisians have ad-
vanced on the Bourse is stated to be principally in con-
sequence of the knowledge of the fact that the Messrs.
Rothschild and Brothers will tender for it.

The Funds have been steady this morning. The
Commissioners bought Reduced Three per Cents. at
99g. Consols for Money have been at 100-a, and fur
the Account at 1001 only. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are steady at 102 and 102 - ; Ex-
chequer Bills remain at 565. to 58s. premium ; India
Bonds, under 1,0001., have rallied from 755. to 795.
premium. Bank Stock may be quoted at 204 - 5.
The confirmation of the news before received that a
large amount of dollars was at Tampico for remission to
this country for the Mexican dividends, has raised the
Mexican Bonds to 36 ; Spanish Three per Cents. have
realised 36 also; and the Active Stock, 24 The Por-
tuguese Converted Annuities have receded from 541 to
534. Dutch Stock has remained steady. The Belgian
New Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Scrip commanded f to
premium.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares have
been on the decline to-day. The Great Western, the London
and Birmingham, the Brighton, and most of the other
shares have advanced. Business has not been particu-
larly animated during the day. There has not been any
business transacted in the Joint-stock Bank Shares
to-day.

Late last evening, a report reached us, that a female
named Phillips, was murdered. on Sunday morning, at
Navestock, in this county. The circumstances, as stated
by our informant, are, that deceased went to a beer-house
at White Horse-side, near her residence, where she drank
a pint of beer, and, on leaving, took some with her in her
hand ; that two men, who arc in custody, left the house at
the same time, and when she was within 100 yards of
her own home, knocked her down, and so maltreated
her that they left her for dead. Subsequently the parties
themselves informed her husband that she was dead, and
he found her in a field lifeless, her petticoats twisted
round her waist. One of the men, our correspondent
states, was taken at Romford yesterday, and the other
a short distance from home. An inquest was to be held
yesterday before C. C. Lewis, Esq.—Chelmsford Chronicle
of to-day.
