THIS DAY'S NEWS

BOROUGH OF FINSBURY REGIS-
TRATION.—(THIS DAY.)
PARISH OF ST. LUKE'S—FINE OF ARREARS.
(Before D. C. MOYLAN, Esq.)'
Considerable discussion ensued this morning respect-
ing the omission of the names of two persons, named
Buckle and Clements, from the lists of voters fur the
borough, through the neglect of one of the collectors of
the assessed taxes. It appeared that they personally
applied to one of the overseers to have their names re-
instated in the list ; this the overseer promised to do,
but he did not fulfil his promise.
Mr. Sinclair being called on by the Revising Barrister
to explain the cause of such omissions, expressed his
regret at the occurrence, and said he bad done all in his
power to rectify the mistake when it was pointed out to
him. The name of another person, residing in the same
street as Mr. Buckle, who had not paid his taxes, had
been mistaken for him, consequently Mr. Buckle, who
had duly paid his taxes, vas returned as not having
paid his taxes.

Mr. MOYLAN said that, by the 12th section of the Re-
form Act, he (the collector) was bound to give the over-
seers, on the 21st or 22d of July. a Est of all persons in
their district who had not paid their taxes.
Mr. Sinclair said he had never been required to do so,
otherwise he should have supplied such list.
Mr. MOYLAN then gave judgment in the case, and im-
posed a fine of 60s. upon the overseers of the parish of
St. Luke's.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
William Harris, a waiter at the King William the
Fourth Hotel, King William-street, Strand, was charged
with stealing a silk umbrella, the property of Mr. Core-
thorne. The prosecutor stated that he went into the
King William Hotel last night with two friends to
supper. Heliad a silk umbrella in his hand, and he laid
it down in the chair. When they were about to leave,
the umbrella was not to be found. The only person in
the room while the prosecutor was taking his supper was
the prisoner. Some time wat- taken up in looking for
the umbrella, and the landlady ultimately found it by
the side of the prisoner's bed. .He was of course given
into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that his master had
got up a conspiracy against him, as he was to leave his
service this morning. The gentleman with whom he
was to live came last night and got his (the prisoner's)
character, which was given by his master, and with
which the gentleman was satisfied.
Mr. TWYFoRD said it would be necessary for the land-
lady of the King William the Fourth to attend to give
evidence. It was a very common thing for waiters when
they left hotels to carry off anything they could easily
lay their hands on.—The prisoner was then remanded.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
A young man named Shiel was charged with creating
a violent disturbance in the St. Pancras workhouse.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Lee, the master,
that the prisoner, who has been twelve times punished fbr
similar misconduct, is in the habit of instigating the
other paupers to rebel against the workhouse discipline.
On the previous day he became exceedingly riotous, and
when checked by the porter, became so violent that the
whole workhouse was thrown into a state of confusion.
He was sent to prison for seven days.
A person named Began was charged with stealing a
gold chain and watch, the property of Mr. Mayen, of
Titchfield-street, Soho, conl-merchant.
The robbery was fully established, the property having
been found in the prisoner's boot—Committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Davis was charged before Mr. Traill with
stealing a purse, containing money, the property of Mrs.
Thompson, during the fire at the terminus of the South-
Eastern Railway.
The complainant stated, that having occasion to pass
near the scene of the conflagration at the terminus, near
the Bricklayers' Arms, on Monday night, she felt a hand
in her pocket. On turning round she observed the pri-
soner and a little boy, the latter of whom ran amongst
the crowd and escaped, but she called out and gave the
prisoner into custody.
A witness stood forward, who stated that he saw the
boy thrust his hand into the complainant's pocket, and
draw forth a purse, which he handed over to the pri-
soner, and then ran away. The prisoner, however, con-
trived to get rid of the purse on being taken into custody.
The prisoner said that he went to look at the fire, and
that he knew nothing about the stealing of the purse—
that he had no companion.
A policeman said the prisoner was the associate of
thieves, and that he and the boy alluded to were regular
pickpockets, and always hovering about the terminus of
the railway.

Mr. TBA-ILL remanded the prisoner until the boy is
,aken into custody.

The accounts received from many of the more im-
portant grazing counties represent that a scarcity of
fodder was beginning to be felt rather severely. The
consequence was, that at the annual cattle fairs that have
already taken place, the purchasers of stock were ex-
tremely cautious in buying any considerable number,
and prices have consequently ruled low as compared
with those made this time twelvemonths. Throughout
the kingdom the crops of turnips are represented as being
more or less injured. The Mock of hay and straw being
also very short, fears are entertained that prices will
rule very high during the winter and spring.
The foreign grain markets have been influenced rather
by the lateneess of the harvest in some districts than by
any expectation that the demand for this country will
take off any very considerable quantities until at least
the month of June and July next, and then only should
the prospects of our own crops be discouraging. In the
north of Europe there was up to the last dates
much corn out. In Prussia the farmers had
had a very indifferent yield, and much de-
spondency prevailed in consequence. From Dautzic
and Koningsburg the harvest is represented as being
less productive than had been calculated upon. The
new samples of Wheat that had been exhibited were
generally of inferior quality, and almost entirely unfit
for exportation. A few vessels had been taken up for
conve3ing old Wheat to the Channel Islands and to Hull.
At Odessa the quotations of Wheat were on the deline. It
appears by the last return, made up to the end of Sep-
tember, that in that week the imports of foreign Wheat
into the principal ports of England and Scotland, were
of Wheat and Wheat Flour, 16,059 quarters ; of Barley,
46,295 quarters ; and of Opts. about 13,000 quarters.
Of Wheat, 3,597 quarters were entered for home con-
sumption ; of Barley, 69,477 quarters ; and of Oats, &e.,
9,064 quarters. The amount of Colonial Wheat entered
was 7,964 quarters. The duties paid upon all grain
cleared last month, for home use, was 10,0001. 19s. 9d.
There are not any late arrivals in the City this morn•
ing from the British Colonies.
The preparations for the opening of the New Royal
Exchange are proceeding with the utmost alacrity.
Additional hands have been put on, is order to have the
whole of the arrangements completed. This morning
the wooden pavement on the south side has been
all but completed, and it is exp-eted that
in two or three days the principal part of the
hoarding which now surrounds this splendid build-
ing will be removed, and a full view of the front of the
new Royal Exchange exhibited.
In the Funds, this morning, there has not been any
alteration of importance. There is not, we are assured,
the least ground for the statement that the alteration of
the route of Louis Philippe, on his return to
his own country was occasioned by any in-
formation he had received that an attempt had been
planned upon his life. The state of the weather was
alone the reason of the voyage, by way of Dover, being
selected. The gratuitous assertion that the life of the
King of the French had been insured for a month for
10,0001., at 20s. per cent., is without the slightest foun-
dation, as we are informed.
The Consol Market has been rather firm this morn-
ing, the price for the Account having advanced to 100 k.
There was not any bargains of importance effected this
morning. Exchequer Bills are heavy at 745. premium.
The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have rallied
from 1011 to 102 k. Bank Stock has fluctuated from
2041 to 2051.
Spanish Bonds have recovered the fall of yesterday,
the Three per Cents being now at 351, and the Five per
Cents, at 24. The Bears have not taken much by their
absurd reports of yesterday. Dutch Stock continues
firm. Portuguese Converted Bonds have advanced to
5011. Mexican and Colombian Bonds were a fraction
higher than yesterday.
A considerable amount of business has been transacted
this morning in the Railway Shares. With the excep-
tion of York and North Midland, the York, Scarborough,
and Selby Scrip, the London and Brighton, the Man-
chester and Birmingham, &c., values have somewhat re-
ceded. In Banking Shares there has not been any
alteration.

Communication between Harwich and Gluckstadt
by means of steam navigation, has been taken;up as a sub-
ject for public consideration, and the result is that meit
sures are now in progress for the formation of a company
to carry it out. On either side of the German Ocean it
will afford facilities for trade, since the introduction of
the railway system will give such ready access to both
ports ; and, among the advantages which it is said the
mercantile world must receive, are those of economy of
time and money, while the state duties, not even now
popular among persons exporting merchandise from
England to the continent, will also be avoided. The
gentlemen who have taken up the matter appear to be
eery sanguine of success.—Cambridge Advertiser.
We
have reason to believe that the reports which
have been in circulation respecting a marriage between
the Grand Duchess Olga, the lovely daughter of his Im-
perial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, ana Prince George
of Cambridge, are, if not perfectly erroneouc, at all events
premature.— Court Journal.
ST. IVEB' FAIR.—The character of this fair this
year has been, in regard to general business, bad-
-very
bad. A large quantity of store beasts was brought, ,but
very little business doing ; the same as regards sheep ,
the reason alleged being a deficiency of keep, through
he spring drought. A good show of horses, but no
buyers. Cheese and onions very flat, the former ranging
from sa. to 7s. a stone, the latter from 2s. to 2s. 6d. a
bushel. The grocers, drapers, and general traders com-
plain greatly.—Cambridge Advertiser.
