MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Mathew Carew, an elderly man, who aspired to the grade
of " gentleman," and described himself as such at the police
station, was placed before Mr. Rawlinson, on a charge of
having been drunk on the previous night in Thayer-street,
Manchester-square, and, while in that happy state, of grossly
insulting several respectable females.
Sergeant Thompson, 4 D, prayed the charge.
Mr. RAwLimsox—What can you say for yourself, Sir—
this is a serious charge? Prisoner (with great indifference)
—Oh, I'm sorry, very sorry. In fact, I had drank more than
I ought to do.

Mr. RAwunsos—You call yourself a gentleman, I see.
Pray, what are you? Prisoner—l am a gentleman.
Mr. ItAwuNsox—Have you no profession ? Prisoner--
Yes. Sir, Pm a atone cutter.

li&wuNsow---Well, Sir, as you are &gentleman, I shall
impose a gentlemanly fine, and I hope it will stop for the
future the gentlemanly practice you seem to have indulged
in. You are fined 40s.

Prisoner—l can't pay it.
Mr. RAWLIVSON—Then you shall go to prison.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
William Silcock, who represented himself as holding a Go-
vernment situation, was charged with assaulting Charles
Mellish, under the following circumstances.
The complainant stated, that on the preceding afternoon
the defendant rushed into the shop, where he was, and with-
out assigning any reason, charged him with robbing him of
a sovereign. Complainant denied the accusation, and as
the defendant still persisted in charging him with the offence,
on attempting to eject him he was struck by him.
Mm. TitAILL (to defendant)—How do you account for such
conduct ? Defendant--The fact is, I met with an old friend
in the service, and he treated me to some whiskey, and not
having drunk any of such liquor for a long time it was •so
potent that it completely deprived me of my senses. All I
know is, that after I left my friend, I was robbed of a sove-
reign, but how I came to charge the young man I am at a loss
to know.

Mr. num. said that it was evident the whiskey was the
cause of the defendant's extraordinary conduct, and he should
fine him 10s. for the assault, or seven days' imprisonment.
The defendant having paid the fine was then discharged.

COLONIAL.
Strom.—The market for British Plantation is without
change, only about 100 hhds having been sold at previous
rates. The public sales have contained only 1,793
bags Bengal (partly in bond), which was chiefly
taken in, being held above the value. During the past
week a fair business has been doing in Foreign, con-
sisting chiefly of two large cargoes of white Havannah
(about 4,000 boxes), which have been sold afloat, at about
31s 6d, deliverable at St. Petersburgh, and a small cargo of
' yellow ditto, at 20s 6d, deliverable in the Mediterranean.
The 284 chests 47 barrels Maroim, offered by auction,
which were all taken ins, have subsequently been dis-
posed of (for export) at 23s for the white, and 18s 6d
for the brown, being the extreme value. The quantity
of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West
India Docks was 835 Llids, 108 tierces, 160 barrels, and there
were taken for home consumption 401 hhds, 42 tierces, 78
barrels. The stock in the same places is 1,948 hhds, 314
tierces, 239 barrels.
Roc—The quantity landed last week at the East and
West India Docks was 80 puns 7 hhds ; there were taken for
home consumption 126 puns 27 hhds, and exported 88 puns
22 hhds. The stock in the same pjace is 8,329 puns 1,666 hhds.
Rtes.-525 bags Bengal at auction, sold at 103 6d to 11s
for good mid white, being about the former value.
SILTPETRE.—I,737 bags Bengal only partly found buyers
at 23s to 25s Gil for 19* to 6 per cent. refraction, which are
previous prices.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 40s 3d to 40s 9d per cwt on the spot,
and Town at 42s per cwt.
TiA.—The public sales to-day are small, rather above
3,000 packages. They went off with spirit, though without
any advance ; and green teas being scarce, were nearly all
sold at full rates. Pouchong was taken in.

THE MURDERER CROUCH.—William Crouch, who
was found guilty at the last sitting of the Central
Criminal Court of murdering his wife, Elizabeth
Frances Crouch, in Marylebone, and sentenced by Mr.
Baron Alderson to be hanged, will expiate his crime on
the scaffold in front of Newgate, on Monday next, at
eight o'clock should the Sheriffs not receive any contraq
directions previous to that day from the Home
Secretary. The wretched man since his conviction has
been watched night and day by two turnkeys, and has
been repeatedly visited by Messrs. Musgrove and Moon,
the Sheriffs, and the chaplain of the gaol, by whom he
has been supplied with religious publications, and has
evinced his consciousness of the enormity of his offence.
Some exertions have been made to obtain a commuta-
tion of the extreme penalty of the law, but up to yes-
terday there was nothing known to the Civic authorities
to justify the remotest hope that the sentence would not
be fully carried into execution.
MONSTER TRAIN.—On Thursday week a most ex-
traordinary luggage-train, consisting of seventy-two waggons
by three engines, passed up the Midland Counties line.
It started from the Derby station, where an immense concourse
of persons assembled to see it.-11trapath's Journal.

It is not at all expected that any alteration will be made
in the resolutions last night brought forward by Sir Robert
Peel on the subject of banking and currency. Still
we hear that Mr. P. Stewart is in possession of
many important suggestions for improvements, obtained
at the conferences which he has had with the members of
the various banking firms who have visited the metropolis
upon this highly interesting topic. Now, however, that the
subject is fairly before the public, a strong hope is entertained
that the matter will soon be Fettled, so as to relieve all doubts
upon the subject.
The addition to the scheme of the Premier relative to the
silver currency, as announced last evening, has given uni-
versal satisfaction, or very nearly so, among the monied inte-
rests of the City to-day. It is an approximation to making
silver more generally useful.
There are advices from the Cape of Good Hope received at
the Jerusalem Coffee-house this morning, but their contents
ate not of general interest. Only a few papers have come to
hand.

It is highly satisfactory to state that the carpet trade of
Kidderminster is at the present time in a most flourishing
condition, with every prospect of its continuing so. At most
of the establishments the masters wish the men to bring in
not less than a piece each week. The private letters re-
ceived by a trading shipping firm in the City speak favourably
of most other branches of industry.
Not a single bargain is quoted in Consols for the Account
this morning. For Money the price is 994 a. The Com-
missioners bought two thousand pounds ,worth of Reduced
Three per Cents, at 983, the highest value of the day.
Bank Stock has been sold at 194, but at the present moment
it is one per cent. cheaper. The premium in Exchequer Bills
is firm at 745. to 765. The Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Re-
duced have been offered at 1014, and the New Stock at 1024.
Business has been slack too in the Foreign Funds. The
Portuguese Converted has been quoted at 47 ; Spanish Ac-
tives at 24* ; the Three per Cents. at 354 a ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. at 61; the Five per Cents. at 1001 ;
Belgian at 1034 ; and Colombian ex Venezuelan at 144.
In the Market for Railway Shares the inclination is rather
to recede than otherwise. The Great Western, the London
and Birmingham, and other principal lines have dropped in
value, but only slightly. Union Bank of Australia Shares
are at 14 premium • Santiago de Cuba Mine at 14 premium ;
and St. John del Rey Mine at 14 discount.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTEUDAY.
The betting about the two favourites was rendered
more exciting than usual by the efforts of the opposing
parties to obtain the call. For a long time, this was so
near a thing that we should have hesitated to say which
had the best of it, and it was not until near the close
that the feeling became so decidedly favourable to Ratan
that we feel ourselves perfectly justified in returning him
first favourite. It will allay the apprehensions of those
who stand on the horse when we add that Mr. Crockford,
who has been seriously ill for some days past, was an-
nounced to be much better. The Orlando movement
turns out to have been a flash in the pan-7 to 1 taken
on Sunday, and 12 to 1 offered yesterday to no
purpose. Leander again took a wide range, 12
to 1 and 20 to 1 being the two extremes;
we have averaged him at 14 to 1, but do not
pledge ourselves to its being his exact price. Akbar
and Running Rein as before, and Bay Momus at 18 to
1, an improvement arising out of a considerable outlay,
at 20 to 1. (Mr. Crockford has sent in an objection to
Running Rein ; no time has been fixed for going into
the case.) 30 to I was laid once against lonian 1,000
to 25 agst Dawson's lot, 3,000 to 100 egg Forth's lot,
bar Leader (40 to 1 afterwards offered), 1,000 to 10 each
agst Mainstay, Telemachus and Campanero, and 1,000
to 25 agst Beaufront, Beaumont, Croton Oil, and
Mainstay.
The following was posted in the Subscription Room:—
" As several remarks have been made relative to my
declaration as to Foig-a-Ballagh not starting for the
Derby, for the satisfaction of his backers I beg to say,
that on Saturday last I went to Mitchell Grove, and
having seen the horse, found him amiss, as stated to me
by Mr. Forth, with whose conduct I am fully satisfied.
" Monday, May 1, 1844." " E. J. IRWIN."
We give the date as it appears in the original •, Mr.
Irwin, however, having written the letter, evidently
meant the 20th of May.
