ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Caroline Taylor, a
respectable-looking young female, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Traill, charged with stealing five
silver table-spoons, a German silver coffee-pot, a pair
of trousers, an album, and other property, belonging
to Mr. Bird, of 13, Clapham-road-terrace; and
George Denn, a young man, was charged with
receiving the trousers and album, knowing them to
be stolen.

The female prisoner had been in the prosecutor's
service. On Sunday the spoons and coffee-pot were
missed from the drawers in the parlour where they
were deposited safe about three weeks ago by Miss
Bird, after they hail used them. No person had
access to the room but the prisoner, who acknowledged
that she had taken one of the drawers out, and put
her hand in the one underneath, from which she had
taken some cards. The plate was in that drawer.
A gravy-spoon and a table-spoon were left behind.
The male prisoner had been in the habit of assisting
the female in cleaning the windows, and his having
been found with a pair of trousers on belonging to
the prosecutor, he was given into custody. At his
lodgings was found an album belonging to the pro •
secutor's son.

Mr. TRAILL asked whether the plate had been
found ?—An officer of the P division said that he had
searched the female's box, and the male prisoner's
lodgings, but he could got no clue as to the plate.
He would endeavour to trace it by inquiry at the dif-
ferent pawnbrokers.
The female prisoner denied all knowledge of the
plate. The trousers she acknowledged giving to the
male prisoner, and the album was lent her by the
prosecutor's son. She lent the latter to the sister of
the male prisoner. As for taking the cards from the
drawer, the daughter of the prosecutor was present
when she did so.

Mr. TRAILL said it was a very, suspicious affair,
and to give the officer an opportunity of tracing the
plate, he should remand them until Friday next.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Since this day se'nnight only moderate supplies of all
grain have been received up to our market, while the
general quality, owing to the prevailing damp weather,
has proved very inCerior. Fresh up, the receipts of
Wheat of hone produce, coastwise as well as by land
carriage and sample, were small ; yet the supply on offer
was quite adequate to meet the wants of the dealers.
The finest parcels of both Red and White commanded a
steady inquiry, at prices fully equal to those obtained
on Monday last ; but all other kinds were a dull sale,
and previous rates were with difficulty supported. How-
ever, a fair clearance was effected. Holders of free Fo-
reign Wheat were very firm. This circumstance pre-
vented much business from being transacted, yet the rates
obtained were quite equal to those of last week. Corn
under lock was very heavy, but not cheaper. The
show of Barley samples was tolerably good. The best
descriptions sold freely at full prices. In other kinds
exceedingly little was doing. Although the supply of
Malt was but limited the Malt trade ruled heavy, and
previous rates were barely supported. The arrival. of
oats from Ireland being on ill. in. !eat... the Oat trade
was nut e as I..st week, 3,1 the quotation. %tem
quite as high as on Monday last. Beans and Peas were
in good demand- at full currencies. In Flour very little
was doing.

SIVEITHI'IELD.
For the time of year we had a full average supply of
beasts, as to numbers, but its general quality was very
inferior; indeed, we scarcely ever recollect to have wit-
nessed a worse collection of that description of stock than
was the case this morning. Generally speaking, the
Beef trade, ari ing from the heaviness in the dead
markets, and the unfavourable state of the weather for
slaughtering, was very inactive; still. however, the
primest Scots, Runts, Devons, Herefords, &c., found
buyers, at prices quite equal to those paid on this day
set:might; but the value of other breeds—a clearance of j

which was not effected—had, in most instances, a down-
ward tendency. Complaints continue to reach us almost
daily respecting the shortness of winter ket p, owing to
which the graziers are compelled to use a much larger
quanity of artificial food than has been almost ever known.
During the past week, the imposts of foreign stock have
been good; they have amounted, for London and the
outports, to 156 Beasts anti 28 sheep, in, for the most
part, fair condition. The above, added to the previous
arrivals, form the annexed totals for the present year :--
Beasts, from January Ito November 16 3,709 head
Sheep
We had on offer 47 Beasts, and 35 Sheep, all for Rotter-
dam. The whole were disposed of, at about previous
rates. A report has, we find, been circulated, to the
effect that several of our English nobility and capitalists
are engaged in foreign cattle speculations. To such a ridi•
culous statement, we kere give a flat contradiction,forw"
have every reason to know that it is wholly void of truth.
The arrival of Beasts from the northern grazing district'
consisted of 1,650 Short-horns. Those from the eastern
counties comprised 300 Scots and Home-breds ; from
the western and midland districts 500 Herefords, Devcolt
Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various
breeds ; from Scotland 190 horned and polled Scots ; the
remainder of the supply being derived from the neigh'
bourhood of the metropolis. The supply of Sheep less
somewhat less than that exhibited last week ; neverthe.
less the Mutton trade was heavy, and where sales were
pressed of the inferior kinds of Mutton, lower prices Were
accepted. The Veal trade was unusually heavy, the vet./
highest quotation not exceeding 4s per 81bs. In rig.
very little business was transacted, at late rates.

Although the arrivals of country-killed Meat uP to
these markets since Monday last have been but Bull(ed
for the time of year, the supplies of meat offering hale.
been somewhat extensive, but of very middling qualitf.
Hence the primest descriptions have been in good re_,
quest, at 10 prices, but otherwise the demand hi"'
ruled very inactive, and previoas rates have not bra_
supported. No carcases of either beasts or sheep, fro°
abroad, have been brought forward since our last.
