DISTRESSING CASE.

About two months ago a poor Irishman, named
Bernard Connor, left his native village, near Elphin,
county Roscommon, with his wife and four children,
for the purpose of procuring employment at the Scotch
harvest. They came by Donaghadee to Portpatrick,
and travelled by short stages to Strathavon, when the
wife, burdened with a delicate infant at her breast,
becoming unable to go on, except at a very slow
rate, it was agreed that the husband should push
forward to East Lothian in the hope of obtaining
immediate employment. The farm of Setonhill, in
the parish of Gladsmuir, was appointed as a rendezvous ;
and thither the poor woman, with her helpless family,
dodged on in the hope of finding her husband, and
obtaining from him such assistance as his means
could afford. On arriving at Setonhill, however, the
husband was not to be found ; and as she had heard
of his intention to go to England, she wandered after
him till, when within a short distance of the English
border, she learned from an acquaintance whom she
accidentally met, that her husband was then at work
at Ballincrief, within three miles of Setonhill.
Thither she retraced her step, and arrived at Bailin-
crieff just as he had been laid off work by an illness
which was believed to be fever. In the fear of that
grievous malady, no one would give him lodgings; and
after a few days' delay, the whole family setoff to Had-
dington, a distance of not more than four miles. With
great difficuty, and assisted by his wife and
their eldest boy, he got to Haddington, where, on
waiting on a medical gentleman, he was told his com-
plaint, though not fever, was a fatal one; and was
recommended to get home as fast as he could, as there
was no chance he would ever recover. The poor
family turned their faces westward, and after a weary
day got only a mile out of Haddington, and next
night no farther than Spittalrig, about three miles
from the former town, when, in utter exhaustion,
he lay down in an open shed, where he remained
from Monday till Thursday last, when Mr. Brash,
farmer at Spittalrig, kindly dispatched a cart with him
to Edinburgh, in the hope of getting him placed in
the Royal Infirmary. The fatigue of the journey,
however, was too much for him, and he breathed his
last just as the cart entered the Water Gate. The
body was brought to the Police-office, and the widow
and children were accommodated in the Night
Asylum. She was pointed out to the writer of
this on Friday, seated on a heap of stones at the
door of the police dead-house, rocking herself to and
fro after the manner of her countrywomen, with
her three clildren clinging about her—the whole
group in an agony of grief too deep and too bitter to
admit of comfort. Ever and anon she started from
her cold seat, and looked earnestly and anxiously
through the darkened window of the apartment where
her dead husband lay, in the vain hope of obtaining
another look at him ; and, after many tears, was pre-
vailed on to take a temporary shelter in the adjoining
night refuge. She and her children are in extreme
nakedness, and in a state of the most utter helpless-
ness and misery, and is is hoped this notice will at-
tract the sympathy of some humane persons willing
to contribute a trifle to relieve the family from utter
destitution.—Caledonian Mercury.

AGAIN SIR ANDREW AGNEW.
(From the Examiner.)
Sir Andrew Agnew has had the impertinence to
admonish the Queen as to the observance of the Sab-
bath. The lecture is conveyed in a letter to Lord
Aberdeen, which we must suppose his Lordship must
have seen the propriety of returning to the writer.
The foolish knight declares that Scotland is " a
strict Sabbath-observing country, in the true scrip-
tural sense of the word"—the whole question between
it and England being, which is the true scriptural
sense of the word, and some of the highest authori-
ties regarding the Mosaic observance of the Sabbath
as contrary to the precepts of the New Testament.
The Pharisee's letter letter deals in that free and
familiar use of holy names and references which is
highly profane, and in one place he presumes to pray
that " the Sabbath may be a sign between God and
her Majesty, whereby her Majesty may know that
He is the Lord her God." As the Sabbath here
meant is the strict Scotch Sabbath, the direct impli-
cation is, that when her Majesty does not observe that
Sabbath, she betrays that she does not know her God.
The insolence, the spiritual conceit, the puritanical
cant, the presumption, the profaneness of all this are
on a par.
There is one characteristic trait of wordliness in
the epistle. After having assigned all godliness to
Scotland, the Pharisee intimates plainly enough that
the example of the Court may one way or the other
influence the habits of the people, thereby implying
that the holding of the asserted scriptural rule is so
slight on the minds of the people, or the influence of
a Court so much stronger than the scriptural autho-
rity, that the custom of ages might be shaken by the
passing spectacle of a deviation from it in great per-
sonages. lie writes, indeed, of " the overwhelm-
ing moral influence of the example of the Court."
And is the moral influence so " overwhelming" in
" a Sabbath-observing country in the true scriptural
sense of the word ?" He thus does the people of Scot-
land the injustice of supposing that there is not
amongst them a moral and a religious authority
superior to any example of a court. But this incon-
sistency is the consequence of the sycophancy which
is as natural to this sort of character, as its insolence
and presumption, and the Pharisee, however auda-
ciously he may aspire to heaven, is never long without
creeping on his belly to some earthly idol.
SIR ANDREW AGNEW AND THE QUEEN.--This
pharasaical coxcomb has bad the impertinence to for-
ward an address to Lord Aberdeen at Blair Athol,
containing a lecture to the Queen upon the mode in
which she should spend the Sabbath day in Scotland !
We shall next have the Total Abstinence Society, we
presume, forwarding an address to her Majesty incul-
cating habits of temperance ! The one, we are sure,
would be as appropriate as the other. Is there no end
to this man's folly !—Scotsman.

Yesterday John Durgan was placed before Mr.
Jardine, charged with attempting to pick the pocket
of a gentleman in Bow-street.
Mr. J. M. Courtney, of The Sun newspaper, stated
that he was passing along Bow-street, near to Govent-
garden Theatre, when he saw the prisoner go up be-
hind a gentleman, lift up his coat-tail, and put his
hand into the pocket. Mr. Courtney immediately seized
him, and gave him into the custody of a policeman.
The prisoner, with the utmost nonchalance, de-
clared that his hand:was not near the gentleman's
pocket.
Several policemen in the court stated that they
knew the prisoner of old.

Mr. Jones stated that until lately the prisoner was
in his service as clerk, and about two months ago he
gave him the money in question to pay to a house in
the City. He had never done so, but had appro-
priated it to himself. There were several other cases
of robbery under similar circumstances; as, for in-
stance, he had sent him to take out copies of writs,
and had not done so, but had appropriated the money
to himself.

Mr. JARDINH—It is no criminal offence, although
morally the man is guilty. It is in law merely a
breach of contract, and as such I cannot take cog-
nisance of it.
Mr. Jones—Well, I certainly should have consi-
dered it a robbery.
Mr. JARDINB—It is nothing of the sort, and you as
a professional man ought to have known that. The
prisoner must be discharged.
He was accordingly discharged.
MARYIEBONE.
Yesterday, Mr. John Alto, surgeon, of 54, Craw-
ford-street, Bryanstone square, and Mr. Joseph
Hooper, medical student, 32, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea,
appeared before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlin-
son, to answer the charge of having, been found in the
area of Major-General Farrer, No. 5, Upper Glou-
cester-street, Dorset-square.
Major-General Farrer stated that all he knew of
the matter was that the prisoners were brought to him
by two policemen, who said that they had been found
on his premises.
Milton, 165 D, deposed that on the previous night,
at a quarter past eleven, he saw the prisoner Hooper
jump over the area railing of the General's house,
there,
to ;
and run along the street toward the Allsop Arms ; he
(witness) then went to the area gate, inside of which
hee hadsaw

time open; he asked him (Mr. Atto) what business
h
whichthe kitchen window was at that
he replied that his visit was of
a private nature, as one of the "girls" had miscarried,
and he had been Sent for by his friend Mr. Hooper
to attend her. Witness asked him where his friend
t
was, and he stated that he was gone to the public-
house close by. Witness went with Mr. Atto to the
Allsop Arms, and there met with Mr. Hooper. The
prisoners were then taken back to the residence of
General Farrer, and afterwards to the station.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to General Farrer)—Do you
know if there can be any truth in the statement as to
any one in your house requiring assistance under the
circumstances which you have heard related ?
General Farrer—l don't know that it is true.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to Mr. Atto)—What is your
answer to this, sir. Mr. Atto—l' was called to the
house by Mr. Hooper to see one of the females.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Then why not, as a professional
man, come out at the front door? Mr. Atto—We
are often, sir, obliged to do' things " under the rose;''
the General knows all about my having been called to
his house once before ; but I'd rather not say more
upon that matter as I should be sorry now to rake
up anything which might be calculated to scanda-
lise individuals.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The weather was
fine till the afternoon of Friday last, when a drizzly rain
set in, which, with short intervals, continued till the
evening of Sunday. The Tay and Almond came down
in fuller stream than at any time since the spring ; and
as the rain has been quite general, it will prove very
seasonable to the country millers. Harvest operations
were of course stopped ; but, although Monday was a
remarkably fine day, Tuesday lowered with occasional
slight showers. Farmers will now require to be on the
alert ; as, although not much to cut, there is calculated
to be nearly half the crop still in the field, much of
which, it is alleged, might have been secured.
The first favourable accounts of the new crop
are confirmed by each succeeding week. Oats
are mealing well ; eighteen to twenty pecks to the boll.
Barley will average about 521bs. to the bushel ; this crop
is very unequal, some parcels so low as 471b5., and others
up to 551bs. the bushel. The public here are not reaping
the benefit of the low markets, most bakers still con-
suming the foreign wheat, which was imported during
the summer at a considerably higher figure than the
present rates in the home market.—Perth Courier.
CLEVER CASE OF SWINDLIDG.—A respectable citi-
zen, in the oil and colour trade, was waited on last Thurs-
day, by an Englishman of venerable and genteel appear-
ance, who represented himself to be from the house of
Messrs. Macintosh and Co., of London, the eminent
waterproof manufacturers; and stated that he had a com-
mission to dispose of for the sale of a liquid capable of
rendering cloth of all kinds waterproof ! Having de-
scribed the articles, and mentioned the conditions
upon which the house was willing to deal with an
agent, be offered the gentleman the commission, and
furnished him with a printed note of the terms, which
were to the effect that Messrs. Macintosh and Co.
would allow one shilling of commission upon every
buttle sold. The gentleman thinking the agency not out
of the way, and satisfied with the respectability of the
house named, at once accepted the agency, which was
forthwith to be advertised in the principal Scottish news-
papers. On being requested, moreover, he rashly ad-
vanced a sum of money to the stranger to account for
future transactions, there being left with him an ample
specimen of the marvellous liquid. Soon after the Eng-
lishman had retired, the newly-appointed agent pro-
ceeded to test the virtue of the liquid, when, to his
amazement, he found it to contain nothing better than
coloured water, and himself to be minus the sum ad-
vanced ; of course, the promised advertisements have
not yet appeared, while the clever swindler has, as might
have been expected, effectually disappeared.—.. Glasgow
Argun.

Mr. RewLursoN (to Mr. Hooper)—What have you
to say ? Mr. Hooper---I accompanied my friend

Atto to the house, and I assure you I was not there
more than two minutes. •
Mr. RAWLINSON—What right had you in the area
at all ? Mr. Hooper—l merely went into the area,
sir, and said I'd have a kiss before I left.
Nothing more transpired, either with regard to the
I name or occupation of the fair one upon whose lips
the kiss was or was intended to have been imprinted.
Mr. RAWLINSON (to General Farrer)—Do you
wish to press this charge, General ? General Ferrer
—No, I do not.
The "professional gentlemen " were, without any
further explanation of their very extraordinary con-
' duct being called for, set at liberty.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Adele Dupierre was placed at the bar for the purpose
of having the usual formalities completed previously
to being sent for trial to the Central Criminal Court,
on a charge of having robbed her master, Mr. Van
Bever, of a large quantity of property.
The pawnbrokers produced the stolen property in
court. Mr. Young, of Princes-street, and Mr. Wood,
of High. street, were the holders of about 130 pairs of
boots and shoes, all of which large quantity was
pledged with them by the prisoner in somewhere
about one month. The pawnbrokers had lent but
about eighteenpence per pair on the shoes, which
were declared to be worth, on the average, about five
shillings per pair.
As soon as the witnesses were bound over, the soli-
citor for the prosecution said he now proposed to
charge the prisoner with having set fire to the pre-
mises in the Burlington-arcade on Monday week, or
at least with having wilfully destroyed property, as it
might appear from the evidence.
Mr. MALTBY said the prisoner had 'already been
twice placed at the bar without aar charge of this
nature having been preferred.
The solicitor said the reason was that he had no
wish to intricate the case by mixing one charge with
another. He was now prepared with evidence, and if
the Court permitted, he would go at once into the
charge.
Mr. MALTBY was of opinion that the charge ought
to be deferred for the present. If the prisoner was
acquitted of the felony on which she had been just
committed, Mr. Van Bever could then proceed with
the other charge, or he might prefer a bill for the
offence at the same time when he preferred the bill
for the present case.
The prisoner was then fully committed.
WORSHIP-STREET.

THE LITE CABS OF POISONING.—AIfred Edwards
was placed at the bar for re-examination before Mr.
Broughton, charged with having administered poison
to a young woman named Jane Gregory, with whom
he occasionally cohabited, and thereby caused her
death.

Serjeant Lambert notified to the magistrate that an
inquiry had been commenced before Mr. W. Baker,
the deputy coroner, on the preceding day, which had
been adjourned until Friday next, to enable the che-
mical professor, to whom the residue of the noxious
liquid had been submitted, to complete his analysis.
Mr. George Hill Smith, assistant to Mr. Wildbore,
the surgeon who attended the deceased, stated that he
had an interview that morning with Dr. Leeson, the
Professor of Chemistry at St. Thomas's Hospital, who
was engaged in the analysis, and had ascertained
from that gentleman that he had detected among the
contents of the bottle submitted to his inspection, a
quantity of vegetable poison, called colchicum, or
meadow saffron, sufficient to destroy life.
Sergeant Lambert then stated, that in conse-
quence of his having been informed by the prisoner's
father that he had in his possession some bottles con-
taining a similar liquid to that which the prisoner had
given to the deceased, he proceeded on Friday even-
ing to the residence of that person, but he was un-
able to find any. The prisoner's sister, however,
who resided in Whitechapel, had given him a bottle
containing a dark-coloured fluid, which she alleged
to be the same, and which was now under course of
analysis. On searching a cupboard in the kitchen at
the prisoner's residence, he found a paper packet con-
taining some white substance, marked outside " sugar
of lead—poison," and also a small phial containing
apparently oil of almonds.
Caroline Watson, who had resided next door to
the deceased, stated that while the prisoner was stand-
ing at the death-bed of the deceased, the witness asked
him to drink some of the liquor, which he had given
her himself, whereupon the prisoner took up the
bottle and filled his month with the fluid, but in-
stantly spat it out into the fire-place, and carefully
wiped his mouth with a pocket handkerchief.
A solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said that
he had two witnesses in attendance who had drank
some of the liquor prior to the fatal occurrence, with-
out experiencing any ill effects from it.
Mr. BROUGIITON said that the defence had better
be reserved, as he should remand the prisoner until
Saturday next, to await the issue of a coroner's
inquest.

SALTPETRE.—Importers of rough are not inclined to
"submit to any further reduction in prices, and none has
been offered at auction ; privately, however, there has not
been much business transacted ; we quote low 23s 6d to
245, middling 24s 6d to 255, good 25s 6d to 265, and fine
26s 6d to 27s per cwt ; rather under these rates, there
are, however, some orders in the market. English
Refined is not much wanted, 39s to 29s 6d per cwt is the
value.

the exception of small parcels of East
India taken for the Russian market, there has been little
business transacted ; prices however remain firm, and
there are no sellers but at priees equal to those of the
last quarterly sale.
TALLOW.—lmportars of Russian are not inclined .to
submit to lower rates, but at present there is only a
limited demand on the spot at 41s to 41s 3d for old,
and 41s 6d to 41s 9d per cwt for New P.Y. Candle.
For delivery in the last three months in the
year the price asked is 41s 9d per owt, but few con•
tracts have been entered into. South American has
sustained its former worth, and 502 pkgs at auction
fetched 34s 6d to 40s for common to fine; and very dark
and soft 29s 6d per cwt. Of Town Tallow the market
has been again cleared at 40s 6d to 41s per cwt nett
cash; there is not a large quantity being produced.
Ons.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils prices
rule firm, and a good demand has prevailed by private
contract at 3415 s to 341 15s for pale Seal, and 331 lOs
to 341 for Cod ; 60 tuns of Southern at auction fetched
301 103 to 3215 s per tun. Sperm Oil is still wanted, and
previous high rates are well sustained.
Linseed Oil an extensive business was transacted at 24s
6d to 24s 9d per cwt on the spot, and the market:has a
firm appearance. Rape Oil firm at 36s to 36s 6d for
pale, and 35s to 35s 6d per cwt for brown. Cocoa SulOil
at auction went at 261 153 to 27Z Palm, good Intl fine;
at 26s to 27s 6d per cwt. Of Olive many parcels have
been disposed of. Gallipoli at 441 to 451, Spanish 411
to 431; the value of Barbary is 39/ to 40/ per tun ;
but the quantity here is still small. Of American Lard
Oil some parcels sold, but not at better prices.

have a firm appearance. Foreign has been sought after,
and the parcels sold were at firm rates.
COFFEE.—Although importers of West India have
been more inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction
on previous rates of 2s per cwt, still the trade have ope-
rated with much caution, and the quantity brought for-
ward has proved more than sufficient for their necessi-
ties. The public sales went off with heaviness, Jamaica
good middling at 955, middling 82s to 85s, low middling
75s to 80s, fine ordinary 63s to 725, fine ordinary 59s to
61s 6d, good ordinary 54s to 58s, ordinary 50s to
525, and triage 3ls to 48s per cwt. East India
has not been much inquired for by shippers or the home
trade, still holders show firmness, and supply the market
sparingly. Ceylon, at auction good ordinary pale at 575,
low middling bold palish coloury Plantation kind 755,
fine ordinary bold pale coloury 66s to 675, pea berry
80s, and triage 50s per cwt, being the former worth, and
merchants are not inclined to press sales, although
there is a great increase in the stock as compared with
that of last year, and prices much higher than they were
at that period. Of Bengal 28 bags at 4d per lb were of at auction, sound was taken in at 57s for pale,
rather broken, sea damaged, however, sold at 51s 6d,
ditto and repacked 45s per cwt. Of other East India
sorts none has been brought to public sale, and the busi-
ness transacted privately has been extremely limited.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip.
tion of Coffee, and the purchases made privately were
extremely limited in all sorts ; Ceylon of good ordinary
quality, however, could not generally be obtained under
57s per cwt. Mocha could only be disposed of on lower
terms. Of Foreign Coffee some parcels are offering at
easier terms.
Tza.—lmporters alga more inclined to realise, and
several parcels have suddenly been declared for public
competition. To-day 1,016 pkgs of Assam Tea were
offered at public sale, and nearly all disposed of ; Con-
gou at 10d to 2s 9d, chiefly at Is to Is 7d. Souchong
fetched 2s to 3s id, low 100, and Pekoe 2s 4ed to 33
lid per lb. In the private market there was little busi-
ness done in any sort. The trade waiting for the auc-
tions of 10,000 pkgs, declared for to-morrow.
SPICES —Prices are not so firm for Jamaica Ginger,
and the public sales of 185 pkgs went at a decline on
former rates of 5s to lOs per cwt, low to fine quality
selling at 31 10s to 111 133 per cwt. This afternoon
sales of Cassia Lignea were made privately at is to 2s
per cwt advance on the rates of the last public
sales. Of Cinnamon small parcels have been
sold at prices rather above those that prevailed
towards the close of the last quarterly auctions.
Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—For Jamaica pre-
vious improved rates are fully sustained, and a good
business has been transacted to supply home and export
orders ; the operations are three hundred puns, at
35 10d to 4s 6d for mid to good quality 30 to
36 per cent 0. P.: of fine and high flavoured
sorts there are scarcely any in the market at present,
and they are much wanted. Leewards at 2s 5d to 2s sfd
proof strength, and good brown ditto 2s 6d per gallon.
Calcutta at 2s' 3d to 2s 3id proof with certificate. Deme-
rara 3s 2d to 3s 6d for good and fine. Of Jamaica the
arrivals are large since this day week, bet of
Leeward Island small. For common sorts of
Brandy prices are kept up by the short supply.
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 2d,
puns 5s ; 1839, hhds is, puns 4s 10d ; 1840, hhds 4s I Id,
puns 4s 9d ; 1841, hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; 1842, hhds
4s 7d, puns 4s sd, and mid to good mid 3s 4d to 4s per
gallon. Geneva is not so much wanted for shipping,
Is 10d is the value ; of fine fit for duty prices are steady at
2s 6d to 3s 6d. English Corn Spirits 10s 4d per gall, cash.
To-day a good demand existed for Leeward Island and
Calcutta Rum ; sales of the former were made at 25 5d
proof, and the latter at 2s 3d per gallon. Jamaica was
not so much in request, and there is a large quantity of
mid qualities on the market ; however, holders generally
are not inclined to take lower rates, as arrivals are nearly
all in for the season.
RlCE.—Holders of Bengal show firmness, and have
refrained from offering any at auction ; by private con-
tract there has been a much better demand, and the
rates paid are rather above those previously quoted.
To-day a good demand prevailed by private contract for
Bengal and middling white was not to be purchased
under Ils per cwt ; but at auction the sound of 1,000
bags was taken in at 12s to 12s 6d for fine bold clean
white, being above the value ; a few lots of sea damaged
were however sold at Its for first class, 105 for second
ditto ; and 8s per cwt for third ditto.
FRUIT. 44s to 47s is the value of Patras, and 38s to
41s per cwt for Zante and Cephalonia. New Muscatel
Raisins have been sold, boxes in layers at 955, half-
ditto 1005, and quarter ditto 120 s per cwt. Valentia
Raisins are much wanted. In other sorts of Fruit
scarcely anything has been done.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
MAIDSTONB.—The hops in Mid Kent are goiog.,
with the red mould; in some gardens it is get
very bad, and they want picking. It will make tt's
called
very best samples more valuable. The hops iv,
Colegates keep by far the best this year. The PIE
ing will not close this week. We shall have very
fine in colour; there will be some very good bsgs•
EAST FARLBIGH.—The hops are, as usual in to
parish, very good, but in almost every case they
to come down short of what was expected.
BauNcuLer.—Hop-picking is favourably progre4:
ing in this vicinity, and if the weather continues t;
will last ten days or a fortnight from this time. ~J.;O
quality and crop are equally good. We hear ei ,
sales of Brenchley hops at present. Our CO
pondent says—" You have heretofore reminded ruster
friends of the propriety of keeping a tub of Ovate
handy to their oast-houses. This is customary We,
by which fires have been extinguished when first dt'
covered."
IlunsT-GREEN.—The accounts from most of Or
hop planters is, that the hops came down much faster
than was expected, many grounds not producing o
cwt. per acre, and in general of a very inferior quit,
Some grounds, that have not been affected by
of
blight, will produce very good samples. The duty
130,0001. is thought much too high by our most '.

perienced men.

TicEutrasx.—The hop picking is brought to acid`
on several farms in this parish. The general opins'at
is that it commenced too soon, as the hops ars ri
