THE FUNDS.

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
The transactions in the English Funds have been rather limited,
they opened at 791 80, but dropped to 794 1, their present price.
The situation of the market is such that the speculators seem
scarcely to know how to act ; the difference between the money
and the account is about it per Cent. In the Foreign Funds little
or no alteration has taken place • Mexican Bonds seem rather
uneasy, and are quoted at 601 ; 'Colombian, 35, with little busi-
ness. Shares are scarcely looked after, and nothing worthy of
notice has occurred relative to them.

or any thing new.
The cause of the decline of Consols is attributed to a new
issue of Exchequer Bills ; also a report that some obstructions
have taken place in the negociatious between the Russians and
Turks.

BOW-STRAET,—(Tnts DAY.)
MARCH OF INTELLECT.—Thornas Smith, R young lad
who had been apprenticed by the parish to M.r. Saunders
a tailor, of Long-acre, came up at the complaint of his ma:
ter for irregularity.
Mr. Saunders stated, that the apprentice WAS 111 the con-
stant habit of going to balls, masquerades, &c., A
and stop.
ping out whole nights.
The defendant, on promising to repress this nts.
querading propensity, was dismissed.

THAMES POLICE OFFICE.—(Tuta DAy.)
EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES OP GRAIN.—The time and St-
tention of the Magistrates at this Office have been occu-
pied for several -days .in Investigating various charges of
robberies committed at almost all the granaries in this
neighbourhood. Suspicion has attached to some of the
prisoners, but it was not until within the last fortnight
that any direct clue had been obtained. The depredations
of the gang have been unusually extensive, and happen to
have been successfully carried on for several years.
It was admitted by several of the prosecutor's witnesses,
that bulks of corn would be materially affected by weather,
so that they were frequently content to attribute to this
cause a diminution in measure. But, in the present in.
stances, the diminution was so very large, that it was irn.
possible it could have arisen from any such adventitious
e
inrwealni,tlinees. In two or three case* which were gone
"crease of 70 or 80 quarters was sworn to.
There are at present seven persons in custody on the

above charge, whose names are—litilliam Taylor, Thomas
Tibbatt, James Frewin, William Allan, Charles Ca
John Douglas, and Thomas Robinson, several of whom,
particularly Allan, have hitherto occupied a respectable
station in society.
Mr. HARMER appeared on behalf of most of the pri-
Foners, and another professional gentleman on the part of
the prosecutors.

The Office has, during the whole of the examinations,
been crowded with corn-factors, meal-men, bakers, &c.,
all of whom seem to be deeply interested in the issue of the
case ; and, in order to afford a proper connection between
the different persons charged, two of them have been
placed at the bar at a time.
The first suspicions of the robbery originated with
Messrs. Begley and Turner, extensive corn-factors, in
whose employ Taylor and Tibbatt, two of the persons
charged had been for ten years past.
Upon their being placed at the bar with Allan,
Thomas Leftwich, miller, Bermondsey, stated, that he
knew the persons at the bar. On the 25th of September
last they brought some grain to him, to be converted into
flour. They brought it to him twice, and were to have
paid him a guinea a load for grinding; but in consequence
of no money coming forth on the second order, he stopped
two sacks for payment, and this was all he ever received.
James Greer knew both the prisoners, particularly Tib-
batt; witness had often bought flour from them. It was

uniformly of an inferior quality, fit only to make ginger-
bread.

William Leftwich knew the prisoner Tibbatt ; in Oc-
tober last' he came to him, and said he had five sacks of
flour to dispose of; he asked him the price, and he de-
manded 121. 10s., which he, prisoner, gave, and for which
he held his receipt.
Several other witnesses gave evidence to a similar effect.
A gentleman in the employ of Messrs. Begley and
Turner, stated, that in consequence of the suspicions en-
tertained of the prisoners, one of their bulks of grain had
been measured, and in an original quantity of 1,090 quar-
ters, there was found a deficiency of upwards of 48
quarters.
John Rooke, foreman to Mr. Cramp, wharfinger, stated,
that on the 7th of April last, he 'landed quarters of
wheat for Mr. Leftwich, from Allan. He did not recollect
whether it came up in a skiff or punt, but in one or .the
other—and Allan was in it. On the 25th of April, he
landed nine quarters from Allan ; on the Bth of May, nine
quarters ; on the 24th of May, four quarters white, and
four quarters brown; on the fifth of July, four quarters;
on the 31st of July, eight quarters from Douglas; on the
2d of August, and on the 14th of August, fourteen quar-
ters from 'Douglas; and sixteen quarters from Allan, on
the 7th of August, which was the last he, witness, received,
and part of which was seized by the officers of this esta-
blishment.

Mr. HARMER—These goods having been landed for Mr.
Leftwich, his orders were always given you in an open
manner, were they not ?
Witness—Yes, sir, we were in the habit of landing very
largely for Mr. Leftwich.
Evidence was then taken as to the purchase of the sacks
conveying the corn, and the loan of the punt or skiff in
which it was so conveyed from the place of the robbery.
The Magistrate (Mr. BALLANTYNE) said, that in conse-
quence of fresh warrants having been applied for, and addi-
tional evidence being about to be produced, he should ad-
journ the case to Wednesday next.
This is already the fourth examination.
