the accused, but the Court would correct this view of the
case, and tell the jury that they should allow no such
consideration to influence them,but look at it just the same
as if the prisoner were a poor person—indeed, he should
say that so far a character was concerned, its maintenance
was of more vital importance to the poorer classes of
persons. With respect to the evidence as to charact,
nothing could be more favourable to the prisoner, but
still he did not feel i,olined to attach so much import-
ance to that of the tradesmen who appeared in Court
to7day. The Learned Judge then minutely recapi-
tulated the evidence, and concluded by entreating
the jury to deal with the present case just
the same as if it were that of an ordinary
trial for larceny. by a poor and friendless person, giving
the pri,oner. at tt.e sam,- time, the benefit of any doubt
which might arise in their minds.
Thy• jury, after a snort consultation in the Court, inti-
mated to the Bench that there was no likelihood of their
coining to an agrecmtat, and they accordingly retired
to the jury-room.
At the moment of this announcement the prisoner
seemed to be dreadfully agitated, and required to be
supported in the dock.

There are no arrivals in the City to-day bringing late
intelligence of any general interest, save the Overland
accounts, which are not favourable to trade. It appears
by the China news that Teas were rather dear ; and
this supports the market here. We have a stock of Tea
on hand, as nearly as possible corresponding to that
held last year ; and, up to the present time, the imports
have fallen short, though still equal, within about
200,0001bs , of the deliveries for consumption.
The Liverpool Circular of Messrs. Houghton and Co.
states that, during the past month, the import of timber
has been 43,293 tons, and for the year 165,578 tons.
The demand has been fair for most descriptions, but
especially for Canadian.
Tho public Securities continue at very high rates, for
although money is rather in demand in the discount
market, it is comparatively cheap for real business pur-
poses. Consols have been 1004 to 1011, for special
transfer with the dividend, and at 994 to par for account,
and ex-dividend. Exchequer Bills continue at 555. to
535. premium. East India Bonds are 735. to 78s. prem.,
a rather large sale having occasioned the depression,
from which a rally has since occurred. New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. are 1014 to 100/.
The Foreign market is rather lively. Spanish Bonds,
however, are rather tending downwards, and there seems
a tendency, in most of the Foreign Bonds, to decline.
The Five per Cents. are 242 4 ; and the Three per
Cents., 364 Portuguese Converted are 554 to 56.
Mexican realise 362 to 4; Colombian, 14i- to 4; and
Brazilian, 884. Belgian Scrip is at 4 premium. Dutch
Four per Cents. are 964 to 974.
The Railway Shares generally are very well supported.
some, as the list below shows, are rather higher.
