MARYLEBONE.7(THIS DAY).

Elias Collis, one of the leading members of the
swell mob, was charged with robbing from the per-
son of complainant a 10/. Bank of England note, four
sovereigns, and six half-sovereigns, in all 171.
Jane Pounce, a respectable tradesman's wife, re-
siding at No. 33, Edward-street, Portman-square,
said that she left home yesterday afternoon, to pay a
visit to her sister in Edmund-street, Dorset-square,
having, just before leaving the house, ascertained that
the money stated was in her purse, which was in her
pocket. When in Park-street, Dorset-square, she
thought she felt something at her pocket, and putting
her hand in, found that her purse' and its con-
tents were gone. She turned round immediately,
and saw three respectably dressed men walking arm-
in-arm from her. Knowing that they had not passed
her, she run after them when he in the middle (the
prisoner) looked back and saw her. The three ran
off as hard as they could round the corner, and she
followed after. Saw the prisoner and another in
New-street, the third at a distance turning into Dor-
set-square. She informed a policeman in the street
that the man had robbed her, and he gave chase, and
caught the prisoner, the other had in the meantime
escaped. He was taken into a baker's shop and
searched, but no money found upon him.
John Duff, 137 D, said he followed the prisoner
and took him into custody. When informed that he
was charged with robbing the complainant, he said,
" You are mistaken in me, I am a respectable trades-
man the person you want has run round the
corner."

Mr. Black, inspector of tho D division, said that he
was prepared to prove that the prisoner Was an asso-
ciate, in fact a leader of the swell mob.
The case was remanded till Thursday next, when,
even if no further evidence be brought forward, the
prisoner will be committed for trial.

In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday the
sales were 5,000 bale.•, but the quotations for best
American were about id.
per lb. lower, and for Surats
also, than on Friday week last. Shares were flat, and
there were but few sales. Eastern Counties, 83 ;
Great Western, Fifths, ; Liverpool and Manches-
ter, Quarters, 45+; Midland Counties, Fifths, 21. 6s.
The Acadia steamer furnishes a few items of com-
mercial interest from the United States and Canada ;
the letters from the former place reaching to the 2d
inst., and from the latter to the 26th ult.
The winter in Canada had given signs of commence-
ment, but the steam-boats and ferry-boats were still
running, and the temperature was mild. At Mon-
treal the last sales made in Ashes were at 255. for
Pots, and at 265. for Pearls. American Flour was
held at 225. 6d., and Canadian had been sold as low as
21s. 3d. at three months. Provisions were held very
firmly, owing to the very
favourable accounts from
England, and many large holders had withdrawn
from the market. Prices could not be called higher.
Large Beef sold at 21 dollars ; prime 4 dollars, and
prime Mess at 61 dollars. Prime Mess Pork was 5
to 81 dollars. All American packed, Canadian
cured, ranged from ss. to 7s. 6d. per barrel. The
stock of Canadian was low, but about 40,000
barrels of American were in the stores. Wheat
was unsaleable, except at very low prices, 3s. 6d. per
bushel, compared to flour. The banks were drawing
on London at par, according to the rate of 1/. 4s. 4d.
currency per 1/. sterling, fixed by the last Act.
The last vessel for England left Montreal on the

23d ult.
The financial position of Pennsylvania attracts,
much interest here, as it is feared the English cre-
ditors will get no interest next February. Mr. Biddle
bad published a letter on the subject, endeavouring
to prove the solvency of the State, which had at-
tractedtiln antthice
:Leading
points of importance on much attention.
this side the esubA:io
"I believe that Pennsylvania was led into her large
scheme of internal improvement by the recommen-
dation and expected assistance of the General Govern-
ment. And I believe that in the construction and
auministration of these works she has committed
many errors and indiscretions, but these were incident
to the infancy of all great enterprises, and she has
made no mistake which she cannot repair, and com-
mitted no indiscretion for which she is not able and
willing to atone. And, finally, I believe that she is
equally able and willing to discharge honourably
every dollar of her present liabilities.
" Her position is gin this :—She owes a debt,
contracted chiefly to make er internal improvements,
of more than 39 millions of dollars, composed of the
following sums :
" Six per Cents., 1,829,059 dollars 37 cents; Five
per Cents., 32,788,167 dollars 10 cents ; Four-and-a-
Half per Cents., 200,000 dollars ; Four per Cents.
(temporary), 15,000 dollars making a total of
34,822,226 dollars 47 cents.--bearing an interest of
1,659,982 dollars 67 cents.
" Ist. Add Six per Cent. Stock issued for interest
unpaid in July last, 874,118 dollars 71 cents, bearing
an interest of 48,000 dollars.
" 2d. Claims of domestic creditors under the Act
of June, 1842, filed 'already, 1,159,401 dollars 65
cents ; yet to be filed (estimated), 200,000 dollars;
making a total of 1,359,041 dollars 65 cents, bearing
an interest of 81,542 dollars 49 cents.
" 3d. Relief notes issued upon the responsibility of
the State, 2,206,650 dollars 68 cents;
interest 1 per
cent. till funded, 22,066 dollars 40 cents; making a
total of principal, 39,262,037 dollars 51 cents ; and of
interest, 1,864,238 dollars 56 cents:,
Accounts from Australia. have come to hand :of a
much later date, being from Port Philip, August 17,
Hobart Town, August 19, and Launceston, August
25. The price of wheat at Van Diemen's Land was
20s. per 1001bs. The new Sydney Bill of Incorpora-
tion was leading the other colonies to demand similar
institutions. The revenue of New South Wales,
whence our accounts though indirect are later, was
decidedly better last year, and the expenditure esti-
mated for 1843 was lower.
Nothing beyond mere surmise or rumour has trans-
pired up to the present time respecting the successful
tender for the Canada Loan Debentures, though
the Stock Exchange people will have it that
Mr. Maubert, a member of the house, and
others in connexion with him, will get it at
about 108. In opposition to this it is said that
all the tenders have been rejected, and that the deben-
tures will be sold openly in the market ; while a third
statement is to the effect that the Bank of England
will take the whole on higher terms than any other
parties, and which it had intimated its willingness to
do, before the public contract, for mere form's sake,
and to prevent any appearance of favouritism, was
announced.
The Stock market is scarcely so good to-day. Con-
sols are 933 for .the opening. The Government
broker has invested 6,0001. in Reduced Three per

Cents., a small part being the proceeds of Life An-
nuities granted. The prices of this Stock have been
941 and 94k. Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
are 101 to 1011 ; Exchequer-bills are firm, at 50s. to
51s. premium; and India Bonds have been at 435. to
465. premium. The French Funds having gone
lower, rather influence our market.

The Foreign Market continues dull, and Spanish
Stock is not so good, as the late troubles in Barcelona
seem to involve the French as abettors, if not almost
as principals. The Actives are 18i to 19, and the
Three per Cents., 24k. -Mexican Bonds have been
quiet at 311 ; Brazilian have realized 691 to 69i ; and
Portuguese Converted, 32i. .Austrian Bonds are 112.
There have been only one or tuld bargains in the
Share market. Brighton are 14 discount; Birming-
ham, 100 premium ; Ditto, Quarter, 24k premium ;
and Paris and Rouen, 51.1 premium.
