'-STREET.—(THIS DAY)
Lydia Gillard was charged with stealing a trinket-box, a pin-
cushion, and other articles, from the stall of Mr. Samson, ;in
the Lowther-arcade.
James Ellard, a lad employed by Mr. Samson, said that he
was standing outside one of his.employer's shops the previous
night, and saw the prisoner looking at some goods. After
taking some things up and laying them down several times, she
put something under her shawl. He then called to the beadle
of the Arcade, and gave the prisoner in charge to him. He
identified the goods found on the prisoner as belonging to
Mr. Samson.
James Hitchcock, the beadle of the Arcade, corroborated
part of the last witness's evidence.
John Turner, F 156, was on duty as gaoler, at the station-
house, when the prisoner was brought there by the last witness.
He saw her take the pincushion produced, from her pocket, and
put it behind a bench which is there for the prisoners to sit
upon. She was then searched, and the other articles produced
were found upon her. He heard her s'y that she took them
from a stall in the Arcade, and that she was starving.
The prisoner made no defence.
Mr. JARDINE committed the prisoner for trial, at the
ensuing sessions, for larceny.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS bAy.)
DARING ROBBERY.-George Morton alias Morgan, a
young man of respectable appearance, was charged with steal-
ing several rolls of cloth, of the value of between 201. and 30/.,
from the shop of Mr. James Cooper, of No. 23, New Bond-
street, tailor.
It appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock this morn-
ing, the prisoner deliberately walked into the prosecutor's shop,
and seizing held of the cloth from off the counter was running,
as fast as he could, away with it, when he was espied by one of
the shopmen, who pursued and overtook him with the stolen
property in his possession.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner if he wished to say any-
thing in his defence ?—The prisoner said he supposed it was no
use his saying anything.
Mr. HARDWICK asked if he was known?
Police-Sergeant West, No. 106, of the F division, said he
he was come out of prison a

TO THE EDITOR Op TILE SUN.
SIR,—In the report of the trial of a cause of Furneau v.
Smith, which appears in your paper of yesterday evening, it is
stated on the authority of Mr. Thorna3 a barrister, that the
defendant was a partner in the firm of
Payne and Smith's,
bankers.
We are desired by Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's, to
inform you that this statement, as applying to any member of
their firm, is wholly without foundation, and to require that the
report may be contradicted in your next publication.—We are,
Sir, your obedient servants,

AFFRAY WITH PoAcnrcns.--Nine of Lord Fores-
ter's keepers and watchers at Willey had a serious affray on
Wednesday night with poachers. The keepers had gone out
to watch his Lordship's preserves at Barrow-lane, where they
had been but a short time when a large gang of poachers cane
up, and began to set the gates and hedges with nets. A hard
fight ensued, the the
gates
being armed with sticks. The
poachers, finding that they were getting the worst of it, took
to their heels ; three of them, named John Bowdler, an en-
gineer from Madele
same place ; and Thomas Gough, a collier from Wenlock,
Y ; Thomas Turner, an engineer from the

examination before the magistrates they were committed for
trial at the assizes, the

A BRIDGE WITHOUT ITS PIER IN ENGLAND.—The
report that Westminster-bridge is to be pullet, down rests, we
regret toe
that say, upon the slightest foundation. Many people de-
Clar the bridge is no better than the report.—Punch.
THE iV RATHER AND THE tenors.—We hive its
yet had no encouraging prolpocts of harvest. They are gloomy
as the weather, and must always he in matters over the des-
tinies of which the weather presides. The past week has been
a most disheartening one to all, except, perhaps, the dealers in
corn and meal, who have taken advantage of it and the pre-
ceding dull days to raise the price of these commodities. In
our last, we mentioned that the barley harvest had commenced
in the Enzie, and ere now, had we had ordinarily fair weather,
some fields would have been ready for the sickle in this neigh-
bourhood, which is none of the earliest. Those, however,
that were the most autumnal-looking here have made but very
little progress in the deepening or rather lightening their hues
during several days past. A week's dry weather now would see
harvest begin with us.—Aberdeen Herald.
COURT-MARTJAL AT LIMERICK.—The sentence of
the court-martial assembled in this garrion last June, for the
trial of Lieutenant John 111`Court,depiit let battalion Royals, on
a charge of embezzlement, preferred by Major Deane, was
dismissal from, the service, and which sentence has been con-
firmed by her Majesty; but, in consequence of his long services
and good character, that officer will be allowed to receive .he
rprice of his commission. Mr. M'Court did not
paymaster and quartermaster, and as such was providore
purchase any aleansystep in the army. Mr. M.Court held the situa-
tion of
of supplies to the depot.at Tralee, and subsequently at Clare
Castle.

i' ....eyman tailor, was shot outside the Toledo gate,
having been sentenced to death by the court-martial, for
stabbing an officer during the disturbances. The tran-
quillity of the city had remained undisturbed. The
shops were in the same state as on the previous day—
the doors being only half open. This plan of passive
resistance was spreading. Several provin';ial towns had
followed the example of Madrid, and the conductors of
the Andalusian diligence complain that it is im-
possible to purchase anything along the road.
According to the Tiempo, several eminent com-
mercial men had given official notice to the
Chamber of Commerce of their intention to retire
from business. The municipal authorities have laid in
large stores of provisions, so that the inhabitants may not
wait for food by the closing of the provision shops. The
Minister of the Interior had opposed a proposition made
in the Council to declare Madrid under martial law, and
it had been accordingly rejected.
The coachmen of Madrid met on the 20th to petition
against the tax of six dollars yearly imposed on them by
M. MoN.

The Three per Cents. were done at .31fr cash, and 31i
at 60 days ; 8,800,000 done. Only four operations. The
other securities are not quoted.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The National states that " on Sunday evening, at
seven o'clock, was signed a treaty of fusion between the
Company Decan-Lebeuf and the five other companies
already united. For price of this abdication the ci-devant
company receives 41,000 shares, or 20,500,000 f."
Tuesday was the last day for submitting tenders for
the concession of the northern line, and no tender had
been received except from Baron ROTHSCHILD, the re--
presentative of the coalesced companies.
According to the Constitutionnel the treaty concluded
between France and New Grenada, on the 29th October
last, has been ratified by the KING.
It is announced in the Semaphore de Marseilles of the
11th, that the squadron of evolution, commanded by
A imiral PARCEVAL DESCHENES, which was then lying
off the llieres Islands, would sail for Marseilles towards
the close of the month. The squadron consisted of the
three-decker Ocean, bearing the Admiral's flag, the ships
of the line-Inflexible, Triton, Diademe, Jemmapes,
Neptune, and Alger, and the steam-frigate Astnodee.
Little business was jdone in the Stock and Share
Market of Paris on Tuesday ; but the promises of the
new lines had been in considerable demand.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAy.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FonnLANQux.)
IN RE ALDBIIRE.--IMPORTANT.
This insolvent carried en business as a butcher, at River
Head, Kent, and was opposed on behalf of Mr. Moyce, a
butcher.
The insolvent was examined as to whether he had not re-
ceived a large slim of money from Lord Holmsdale, and had
not increased the debt to the opposing creditor, by promising
to pay that amount over. He admitted having received some
money, but could not tell how much or when.
The Learned Coststisstowxx said, the insolvent's answers
were very unsatisfactory, and if he did not give more definite
sumer' he would commit him for a month to refresh
his memory.
On being questioned as to his profits, he said he did
not make 10s. a week. The prof t was only 11. on a
bullock, ss. to 20s. on a calf, and ss. on a sheep.
Mr. Moyce deposed that 31.. to 41. was a fair profit oti a bul-
