MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)

Mary Croney, an old and very irascible lady, from the
sister island, who oscillates between-this Court and the
House of Correction, was again placed at the bar before Mi.
Rawlinson, on the following charge :
Mr. William Burney, tea-dealer, Upper Marylebone-street,
said that about half-past eleven on,Saturda?, evening the pri-
soner came into his place and threw herself into a chair. She
took a leisurely survey of his customers, and then "opened
upon them." Having exhausted her spleen a little she left,
but soon returned and threw a large stone through one of his
squares of glass. He fortunately caught her arm as she was
about to send a second through, and then gave her in charge
to a policeman.
Mr. ItswuNsox—What was her motive foi all this vio-
lence? Mr. Burney could not inform him, but Mary herself
said it was "rivinge." On being questioned as to what par-
ticular offence the complainant had given her, it ap-
peared that she had determined on war to the knife with the
whole human family.
Mr. RAWLSNSON said it was a pity that-some workhouse
did not take the lost unfortunate within its walls. The
worthy Magistrate then ordered her to pay the amount of
damage, 55., or go back to her old quarters for another month.
Mary Clark, a wretched looking woman, was charged with
begging.
Police-constable 33 D said, that at half-past nine on Sun-
day morning he was on duty at the Spanish Chapel, Man-
chester-square, and when the worshippers were dismissed he
observed the prisoner run over and commence begging.
When his Excellency the Spanish Ambassador came out, she
planted herself right before him, and he-was obliged to stop
He (witness) took her into custody. She carried a broom on
pretence of sweeping a crossing, but she in reality never did so.
The poor creature, who appeared scarcely able to stand,
said that she had eirned a livelihood by sweeping crossings,
and attending at the Spanish Chapel, for the last four years,
as she was so badly in health that she could not do any•
thing else.
Mr. RAWLINSON said that as she did not look well, he
would not send her to prison. He therefore cautioned and
discharged her.
Richard Smith, a simple-looking fellow, servant to Mr.
Garrett, at present living at 227, kiegent-street, was placed
at the bar charged with stealing a watch-key, value 2s. 6d.,
from the shop of Jacobo Vego, 12, Oxford-street.
The evidence was given at great length, but Mr. RAMAN
SON thought, as some doubt rested on the case, and as the
prisoner's master, who was present in Court, gave him a most
excellent character for a three years' servitude, he would dis-
charge him • and hoped the narrow escape he had of not
being sent before a jury, would act as- a caution to him in
future transactions.

The prisoner, whose disgraceful position seemed greatly to
airect him, then left the Court.

QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)
Ann White, a prostitute, who for some years past has spent
nine months out of the twelve in the House of Correction,
was charged with insisting upon coining into the station-
' house at ten o'clock yesterday morning. She was repeatedly
told to go away, but would not do so, and made use of the
most obscene language, and spat in the faces of the police.
She was drunk, and was ultimately locked up.
The defendant, who has been a tine looking young woman,
said she had been drinking hard, and Came to see a friend
who was incarcerated in one of the cells of the office.
The MAGisrnATE said he had wasted-a great many words
of caution on her which had had no effect. She must pa a
tine of 10s, or be committed for twenty-one days. The fine
not being forthcoming she was locked up:
A woman about thirty-five years of age, dressed in a clean
calico gown, and who gave ,the name of Sophia Harris, Was
charged with being found asleep in a doorway in Market-
street, last night.
The poor creature said she was born in Worcestershire, but
came to London when She was eight years old, and had been
brought up by an old lady (her parents had. died when she
was very young). The old lady- died many years ago.
She had been married, having lost her husband about three
years ago. He was a plumber and-glazier. 'After his death
she rented a house in a court running out of the Strand, and
endeavoured to support herself by carrying on a small chand-
ler's shop, but in this she was unsuccessful, and was obliged
to sell her furniture and everything -she -possessed. She
added that The could scarcely tell-how she had supported
herself for the last twelve months. -She had pledged all her
clothes except those she wore, and afterwards sold the ilu-
plicates. Six weeks ago she occupied lodgings in Chelsea, but
had walked about for the last three days, and slept in the
streets at night.
Mr. BOND asked her if she had a-ny objection to go to the
workhouse? The woman, bursting:into.tears, said she would
rather go there than wander about the streets.
Mr. BOND directed an officer to take her to the workhouse.

UNION 1-lALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Richard Brown, an expert pickpocket, was charged, before
Mr. Trail!, with stealing a silk handkerchief from the pereon
of a gentleman, on passing over London-bridge.
The prisoner, it was stated, belongs to a gang of pickpockets,
who infest the principal thoroughfares leading to London-
bridge from the Borough. He was -seen:in the act of follow-
ing up a gentleman, and taking the handkerchief out of his
pocket, and then run away with his companion. A lad who
witnessed the robbery gave such information on the subject
as to lead to the apprehension of both-the prisoner and his
associate. The witness, however, through whose information
the parties were taken into custody, complained that he had
been threatened by the gang, and a woman 'lamed Davis, of
masculine appearance, whom the lad identified as being one
of the persons who had uttered threats against him, was
ordered to be apprehended.
Brown was remanded, and the woman Davis"was held to
bail for the.threabs. she used, and, iu default, waa-conamjtted.

trade, at an advance on the rates obtained on this day se'n-
night, of quite 4d per 81bs for the best Scots and homebreds,

from 2d to 4d per Sibs, the best old Downs, out of the wool,
producing 4s per Blbs • Kents and Kentish half-breds, 3s 6d
to 3s 8d per Sibs. The best Down qualities of Lambs sold
readily, other kinds slowly, at unaltered quotations, they
ranging from 4s 10d to Gs per Sibs. The Veal trade was
steady, 4s 8d per 81bs being • realised for the best kinds.

The past week's arrivals of country-killed Meat for these
markets have been seasonably good, but for the most part of
very middling quality. For the primest descriptions the de-
mand has ruled active, at very full prices; but in all other
kinds next to nothing has been transacted.

BOROUGH AND SPITA.I.FIELDS.

Although the supplies of Potatoes are not to say 'large,
the demand for them is in a very sluggish state, and some
difficulty is experienced in supporting last week's prices.

WOOL IiTANZiLET.
Since this day se'nnight, nearly.3,ooo bales of wool have
been imported into London from New South Wales, but the
arrivals from other quarters have been limited. By private
contract very little business is doing at late rates.
