AVERAGES OF GRAIN.

--
In consequence, it is presumed, of a doubt being enter.
tained respecting the accuracy of the Averages, they will not
be declared until to-morrow.

THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE EXETER COFFEE-
HOUSE, STRAND.-Mr. Mason, of Brighton, who was lately
robbed of 701. at the above coffee-house, remained till Tues-
day morning, in the hopes of being able to find the missing
451., and by a most singular circumstance he recovered his
stolen property. Being much annoyed by a London bug
on Monday night, he told the landlord of it, who forthwith
resolved upon having his beds taken down. On removing
the bed, in which the prisoner Gill (who is charged with
the robbery) slept on the night of the robbery, the chamber-
maid felt a hard substance in the mattress, and on minutely
examining the mattress they discovered that a portion of it,
where the lump was felt, had been sewn up in a very bung-
ling manner,'and on unripping the stitches they discovered
Mr. Mason's. purse, partly burnt, but containing the missing
45/. This circumstance will establish the theft against the
prisoner. Had the prisoner secreted the whole of the stolen
property in the mattress, he would, without doubt, have es-
caped detection. _ _

Sr. CLEMENT'S DANES.—Last night there was a
very fully-attended supper party of parishioners of St. Cle-
ment's Danes, at Mr. Spillman's, Strand, for the purpose of
presenting a massive and superbly-finished silver box to Mr.
Henry Thomas Woods, their late Churchwarden. D. Boobyer,
Esq., presided. In presenting the box, the chairman pointedly
and appropriately dwelt on the merits and valuable services
of their brother parishioner, to whom he had to hand this
testimony of the estimation in which he was held; and re-
marked that their friend had gone through all the parochial
offices, not only with great credit to himself, but with vast
advantage to his neighbours. He added that he was glad
two sons of Mr. Woods were among them; and he trusted
that what they beheld that evening would stimulate them to
emulate the conduct of their respected parent. The Chair-
man then presented the box, on which was the following in-
scription :—" Saint Clements Danes, Easter, 1844.—Presented
to Mr. Henry Thomas Woods, by a few friends and brother
parishioners, in testimony of their personal esteem and re-
spect for his integrity, and particularly for his usefulness
during the past year." Mr. Woods, in returning his ac-
knowledgment for the honour thus conferred on him, said
that he had had the honour of being apprenticed in their
parish, that he had succeeded to his master's business, and
that he earnestly concurred in the wish that his example
might be a stimulus to his sons.- To encourage them, he
should leave with his family this valuable token, and im-
press on them the value of such efforts as had secured that
testimony from his brother parishioners.
DEATH OF THE HON. HUGH LINDSAY.—At his
house in Berkeley-square, on: the morning of the 23d inst.,
aged seventy-nine, the Hon. Hugh Lindsay, brother to the
late and uncle to the present Earl of Balcarres. He served
in early life in the Royal Navy, and was present in several
actions under Lord Rodney and Lord St. Vincent, and among
others that of the Ist of June. He afterwards entered the
East India Company's service, and for the. last thirty years
held the situation of one of the Directors. For many
_years
he represented in Parliament the boroughs of Perth, Cupar,
and Dundee. He held also the situation of Marshal to the
Admiralty. His death will be lamented not only, by his
relations but by many attached friends. He married Jane
Gordon, daughter of Lord Rockville, fourth son of William,
second Earl of :Aberdeen' and the Countess of Dumfries,
and leaves two children, Hugh Hamilton Lindsay, M.P.,
for Sandwich, and Lady Antrobus, wife of Sir Edmund An-
trobus, Bart.
THE WILL FORGERIES.—Since the conviction of
Barber and Fletcher, some important disclosures have been
made, and it is expected that Fletcher will now make a full
disclosure of the whole facts, by which, it is stated, that
another celebrated firm will be implicated.
