The Piedmontese Gazette of the 26th inst. contains
the following from Venice:—
"On the 13th, the Abbe Barbaran, librarian to the se-
minary, the rich banker Sartori, the son of the engineer
BizaCen, the apothecary of St. Leonard, and the coffee-
house-keeper of Antenor, were arrested at Padua. The
two first, however, were shortly afterwards restored to
liberty. The arrest warrants had been forwarded from
Verona on a denunciation that the above parties were
engaged in some private gambling transaction. It is re-
ported that a constitution for the Lombardo-Venetian
kingdom will abortly be published, and that Marshal
Ra letzsky will remove the seat of his government to
Venice. The commissariat of the army is also to ba
transferred to our city.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 31.—At Gloucester market, on the
16th, wheat was 13 to 2s per qr cheaper : at Worcester, same
day, a reduction of is per qr was submitted to. Barley very
- difficult to dispose of. Fine oats in fair request, but all other
descriptions were neglected. Beans and peas nominally un-

prices. On beans the turn is in favour of the buyer, with very
Tittle demand. Peas are held for former rates. At this day's

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Margaret Higgins and Elizabeth Smith, two women of
depraved habits, were placed at the bar before Mr. Ar-
nold for final examination, charged with having been
concerned in administering chloroform to Mr. Frederick
Hardy Jewitt, a solicitor, in Lime-street, City, and
Westham, Essex, and subsequently robbing him of his
watch, finger ring, personal clothing, and various other
articles.

Mary Anne Hurley, the wife of a beer-shopkeeper,
deposed that the prisoners jointly occupied tho back-
room of the house in Thrall-street, Spitalfielis, to
which the prosecutor had been forcibly conveyed in a
state of insensibility, and that both of them had vacated
the apartment iramediat Ay after the commission cf the
robbery. The prisoner Higgins subsequently call at her
house, accompanied by a man named Ganaghan, with
whom she had some conversation respecting the occur-
rence, in the course of which she heard her inform her
companion that she bad sold the watch for a sovereign,
but that the ring had only fetched 3g. and that "Fat
Btt " (meaning the other prisoner) had received I3s. 6d.
out of it. The prisoner added, that she had sold the
scarfifor 93.,:and made other observations in refer-
ence to it which left no doubt that she was implicated in
the robbery.
•

Mr. Christopher Levick, a surgeon, at Westham,
stated that he had professionally attended the prosecu-
tor for about five weeks previous to the outrage, as he
suff.Ted from jaundice of a very serious character,
and had taken large quantities of calomel, which had
produced a very weakening effect upon his system. On
the afternoon cf the I 1 th ult. he was hastily summoned
to attend the prosecutor, who was suffering from ex-
treme nervous prostration, and complained of severe
pains in the head and other sensations, which satisfied
him that chloroform had recently been administered to
him. He also observed that the pupils of his eyes were
greatly contracted, from which symptom, coupled with
the confased state of his ideas, he was decidedly of
opinion that he was also labouring under the effects of
some poirerfal 'narcotic, which had been taken inter-
nally after the application of the chloroform. He re-
mained in the same, condition for the first three
dap, but gradually rallied, and exhibibited a marked
improvement until his return home from the former
investigation at this court, when he suddenly re-
lapsed into a very
dangerous and precarious state, and
continued delirious for several days. The witness added
the t the prosecutor's debility was so excessive, that
it was not till the preceding afternoon that, for the first
time since the previous hearing, he was even capable of
leaving his bed.
The depositions, which were very voluminous, were
then completed and the prisoners were fully committed
to Newgate fir trial.
