had been in the service of Mr. Tuck, florist and coal-
merchant,
Pimlico, had in his occupation as gardner
frequently to attend at the houses of the nobility and
gentry, and as he was to all appearance a religious
young man, he was not suspected of having committed any
theft until lately, when he was discharged by Mr. Tuck.
He was in the habit of coming to Viscount Dillon's
premises about twice a week for the purpose of attend-
ing to the flowers in the conservatory. On Thursday
last a breakfast was given by his Lordship previous to
his leaving town, and in the hurry the prisoner, who
had been there as usual, had access to the pantry in
which the plate was kept.
The spoons were produced ; they were found in the
prisoner's possession.
Charles Ross, Viscount Dillon's steward, deposed to
their being the property of his master.
Mr. Tuck said he suspected the prisoner had commit-
ted many other petty larcenies in noblemen's houses,
and that if he was remanded for some time he thought
that several cases could be proved against him.
The prisoner, who said nothing, was remandel for a
fortnight.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Hurley was charged with committing a violent
assault on Thomas Arnuld and two females who were
with him at the time.

The complainant stated that on the preceding after-
noon he was returning home with two females from Ted-
dington, where they had been fishing, when in pass-
ing along the Borough his fishing-rod by accident
touched the defendant's head. The defendant, a pow-
erful man, immediately struck him in the mouth, and
also assaulted the two women, and they were all down
on the ground together. He added that he gave the de-
fendant into custody.
The defendant, however, gave a very different version
of the affair, by declaring that his eye was nearly
knocked out, owing to the unskilful manner in which the
complainant carried his rod. That he remonstrated
with him on the subject, and was attacked by him and
his two female companions, and was compelled to use
his fists in his own defence.

Mr. TRAILL inflicted a fine of 20s. on the defendant,
who was locked up in default.
Thomas Power, a man in the employ of Messrs. Axtell
and Co., tanners and furriers, in Church-street, South-
wark, was charged with robbing his employers.
It appeared the prisoner bad been in the employ of
the above firm for twelve months, at considerable wages.
Of late, several valuable skins had been missed from the
premises, and suspicion was excited against the prisoner
owing to his having been observed coming out of a store-
room where he had no business. Sunday morning he
was seen in the act of quitting the room, when Mr.
Axtell, who was there at the time, insisted on his being
searched on the spot, and this having been carried into
effect, two skins were found concealed between the lining
of his coat.

The prisoner said be did not know how the skins came
there when they were found.
Mr. TRAILL committed the prisoner for trial.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

The returns for the last week show very moderate ar-
rivals of most kinds of Grain of home produce, but the
imports of foreign Wheat, Barley, and Oats, have been
large. Fresh up we received a fair average supply of
English Wheat, including about 400 quarters of new,
the quality of which was by far superior to that exhi-
bited on this day se'nnight, and which found buyers at
prices ruling from 54s to 58s per quarter. Owing to the
very favourable change in the weather, the prospect of
its continuance, the glass rising, with the wind at north-
west, and the accounts from the eountry being to the
effect, that carting has become very general in the whole
of our forward districts, the demand for Wheat of home
produce was rather inactive, at last Monday's quotations
—hence it will be seen, that the improvement noticed in
the value on Friday last of from is to 2s per quarter was
lost, and a clearance was not effected without difficulty.
During the week the duty has been paid on about 20;000
quarters of Foreign Wheat, of which we had a large
quantity on sale to-day. In the finest qualities, free of
duty, a fair amount of business was doing, at last Mon-
day's currencies ; but in other kinds next to nothing was
doing. In Corn under locks so little was passing that
the rates were almost nominal. There was no English
Barley at market ; but the supply of Foreign was large.
Grinding parcels were a steady sale, at full prices, while
the value of other kinds was supported. The supply of
Malt was good for the time of year. Chevalier was in
demand, at fully previous rates, but other qualities were
heavy. For the best Oats we had a ready sale, at 6d.
per quarter for money. In other kinds very little was
doing. The best old Beans were a fair sale. In other
parcels the sales were limited. All kinds of Peas were
quite as dear. Town-made Flower was held firmly at
late rates. Country parcels were a dull inquiry. The
Seed market was very dull, but we have no material
variation to notice in the quotations.

SZEITHPIZTAI. _ _ _

Compared with those of some preceding Mondays, the
arrivals of beasts fresh up to our market were rather
limited, and, generally speaking, of very middling qua.
lity. The attendance of both town and country buyers
being numerous, and the weather favourable to slaugh-
tering, we had a very steady demand for all kinds of
Beef at, in most instances, an advance in the quotations
obtained last week of 2d per 81bs, and at which the
whole of the supply was disposed of. Although a few
of the primest Scots from Aberdeen and Norfolk realised
4s 2d, the top general figure for Beef we consider not to
have exceeded 4s per 81bs. We regret to observe that
the accounts from our large grazing districts relative to
the condition of the stock are far from flattering, the
drought experienced in the early part of the season hav •
ing thrown back large numbers of both Beasts and Sheep.
Since this day se'nnight the import of live stock for the
kingdom have been confined to about 50 Beasts from
Holland and Germany. To-day only three from Rot-
terdam were on show, but they were in very middling
condition, and were offered at Ha. each. The Bullock
droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northanip •
tonshire consisted of about 800 short horns. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received
COO Scots and Homelands ; from the western and mid-
land districts, 300 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from
other parts of England, 350 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, by steamers, 180 horned and polled Scots.
The number of Sheep were seasonably good, yet, from
the causes before mentioned, the Mutton trade was
active, and prices had an upward tendency. However
we consider the top quotation not to exceed 4s per 81bs.
The season for Lamb having now nearly terminated,
some difficulty exists in determining the exact value of
that stock;' this morning the inquiry for it was in a
sluggie state, yet the prices may be considered as last
quoted. Calves, the supply of which was good, net a
steady demand, and previous rates were well supported:
The Pork trade was heavy, yet we have no alteration to
notice in value.

For the time of year, full average supplies of country-
killed Meat have been received up to these markets
during the week, while with Meat slaughtered in the
metropolis we have been tolerably well supplied. Prime
Beef, Mutton, and Veal have been in steady request, at
very full prices ; and in most other kinds of Meat a fair
amount of business has been transacted, and good clear.
ances have been effected.
