OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY).

OLD COURT.
Michael Connor, alias &mins, and Thomas "him
were indicted for a rape.
Connor applied to have his trial postponed till the
next Sessions, wit the ground of the absence of ma-
terial witnesses. He was directed to make an
affidavit of the fact, upon doing which the ease was
ordered to stand over till the first day of next
Sessions.

Mary Murphy, aged 18, was indicted for stealing.,
on the 14th of April, nine shillings in silver, 'from
the house of - Letcham. The money had all
been marked, and eight shillings of it was found in
her box after it had been missed. The prisoner,
who had lived servant with a lodger in the pro-
secutor's house, wept bitterly daring the whole
trial, and said nothing in defence. The Jury found
her Guilty, but recommended her to mercy on sc.
count of her previous good character. The
Learned Judge expressed his satisfaction at their
recommendation, and intimated to her friends, that;
if they would take her into their care she would be
leniently dealt with.

Catherine Dunkley and Rober'e Dull were indict-
ed for stealing a watch anf.?, appendages, the pro-

two women, and waS followed by
one them into a public-house. He was so drunk
that he could not recollect that woman. He walked
on; he saw the woman following him. lie then either
slipped, or was tripped up. v The male prisoner
picked him up, and offered to see him home.—
The man took him to another public-house
and plied him with more liquor; they then de-
parted for Thompson's house, but the liquor de-
prived him of his senses, and he was perfectly uneon-
scious of ‘vhat happened afterwards. Saw his watch
and the male prisoner in custody on Sunday last.
Thompson did not know him at first as he was sif.
ting down with a handkerchief tied round his head
among several other prisoners, but he recognized hint
as soon as he was brought out; he was also dressed
differently; he believed that the woman who followed
him into the house and out again was like the female
prisoner, but he could not swear to her. He would
not swear that he had his watch, money, and hand-
kerchief, when he left the public-house where he
was standing among several persons.
John Trump saw the male prisoner and the prose-
cutor together, before they arrived at the F,Pe omi
public-house.
W. Green, the landlord, saw Thompson with a tall
stout man, but could not sweat that-, it was the
prisoner. Thompson was covered with mud, and
appeared to have fallen down. The tall man called
for water to clean himself, and appeared to behave
kindly to him.

Benjamin Grady, an officer, went to the female
prisoner's lodgings on some other business, and saw
the watch, &c, which had been described at the
Thames Police Office. He took that 2.nd her into
custody. The male prisoner appeared to have been
cohabiting with the female.
The prisoners both denied all knowledge of each
other, or the robbery.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The wind having been boisterous has occasioned the
supplies of Grain this week to be small. Though the
quantity of Whe.it for sale is trifling, yet the trade this
morning is very (lull at the decline of Monday. Barley
maintains the prices last quoted. Beans and Pease are
unaltered. Oats meet a slack sale, but the prices are rifit
lower than last market day. The Flour trade is still heavy.

The public will learn with surprise that the
Play of William Tell has been brought forward at the
Vienna Theatre; but the surprise will give way to a dif-
ferent feeling when they learn how dramatic poetry must
yield to the lash of Austrian police. In the Vienna ver-
sion of SCHILLER'S play, the hero, while in the act of
drawing his bow, is discovered by the Austrian Governor,
and the look of this Noble Functionaryis sufficient to damp
the courage of TELL, who, full of remorse for his intend,il
crime, lays his cross-bow at the feet of CiEsst.rit, and is
pardoned. The chorus of peasants then exclaim, " Hai!,
Tell! Hail, Gessler ! Hail the House of Austria !" and the
curtain falls before the sounds have died away. The Aus-
trian Royal Anthem immediately succeeds, in order to i'N-
t inguish any patriotic feeling that might have heel&
awakened during the representation of William Tell,
