HULL AND HOLYHEAD
A gonna; meeting cf o'o rrevisinuld \onimitice cf the
HO duel Holylwad Railw.y Company, was ‘eie yeeteiday
at tho London Tavern, for the purpose of electinee Gemini:-
tee of Management. Shot ly after twelve o'clock,
LORD ERICEOI E took the chair, and, in opening tie, mi.
ceedings, said he was happy to see so many gentlemen
cent, as it showed a deternihsation on their pint to carry--(mt
their common ohj, c'. Ile had had the honour to be et:u-
ncut, d with the convene. froth its formation, and he tinily
believed now, as he es lainally did, that it was es well cal-
culeted as any other coin; city to promote the welfare of the
public and the advantage of the Shareholders —( Hear, hear.)
He had paid considerable attention to the affairs of the come
pany, and the nature of the project they were carrying out,
and. being fully impressed with a sense or its utility, he was
determined to exert himself as much as possible in promot-
ing in-e(Cheers.) From the earnestnez he saw evinced by
those present, he fully believed that they were alto similarly
disposed. This w::s the first meeting of the company. They
had assembled for the important puniest, of selecting a Com-
mitt, e of Management, and he hoped the gentlemen chosen
- would be zealous and active in the discharge of their duties.
It was not intended to compliment any one on this occasion,
by placing Hs name on the Committee of Maeagetnent, and
he (Lord Dunboync) trusted that every gentleman would be
solely influenced in his choice by the me: it of the individual
for whom he might vote. Everything depended on those
who had to mauage the affairs of the company. There were
other matters eoeneeted with the histitutioe, of which they
would hear snore precisely and corm city from the lips of the
solicitor whose zeal. teleet, and activity, were unequalled.
Mr. J.scons the s'olicitor of the Company, haying bridle
acknowledged the cemplinunt paid him, said a great deal of
the merit ascribed to him was owing to the active co-opera- ,
tion of the gentlemen who bad come forward as Provisional
Directors; to their energy and zeal was also owieg much of
the present prosperity of the Company. That morning's post
bed brought ham several letters trom those members of the
Provi,,ieteal Committee who o ere unable to attend the meet-
ing. Mr. Jateolis then read a letter from John Robuck, Esq.,
Mayor of Mecelestield, and another frem a gent:email re-
siding in Shedi, id, both of whom expressed their regret at
not being present, and their coefideut opinion that the line
would be of great convenience •to their respective bewail-
ties. These gentlemen, continued Mr. Jacobs, occupied pro-
' minent, if not conspicuous, positions in their respective
towns. He (Mr. Jacob') wae happy to hearfrom Mr. Watts,
who had just come from Meech sfield, of the importance of
the line to that town. He (Mr. Jacobs) was happy to inform
the meeting of the general opinion eet ertained by the public
of the practicability of the line. The engineer was now en-
gaged with a numerous staff in completing the surveys, in
order to comply with the staeditig orders. Mr. Jacobs then
read sonic ex tracts from the engineer's report to the effect,
that none of the new lines coal hear a moment's comparison
with it. He lied gone in detail over the ground, and had no
doubt of the practicability of every part of it, and no tunnels
would be required. He (Mr. Jaiobe) bed also received
various communications front owners of property in the dif-
ferent places through which the line would pass. There
could aiet be. the slightest doubr, not only that this litre
would pass, but that it would pass in the next session of
Parliament. He had 'handed to the secretary a fist of those
gentlemen w o had ()co.:spied themselves front day to dey
in
premcning the interests of the county. He had received
most vain Tale assistance front them ; they were well ec-
quainted with everything connected with the project, and
it was eeet important to the. interests cf the Company
that their services should be secured on the managing com-
mittee.
Mr. 141‘Caece then moved that the following noblemen
and gentlemen do constitute the Managing Committee of
the Hull and Hoiyinted Direct Railway, with power tc add
to their numbers, and that they be fully authorised to adopt
such measures as they may deem necessary to carry out the
project :—The y Right. Hon. Lord Viscount Ingestre, Lord
Dunbeyee,Hen. H. F. Berkeley, ALP, Sir J. E. Anderson,
William butler, Esq, master cutler, of Sheffield ; J. Row-
bot tem, Esq., Mayor of Macclesfield ; Mr. Alderman Sidney,
S. J. Walev, Esq., Mr. Shadboit,W. Ualins, Eeq., M P., H.
Chayter, Esq., L. Davis, Esq , 'l'. K. Watts, Esq., Maccles-
field ; C. Appleby, Esq., Sheffield ; J. E. Chayter, Esq., and
J. D. Hopkins, Esq., Bedford-squere.
ADAM STARK, Eeq , of Gainsberough, seconded the motion.
Mr. ILinnisoN objected to a list of names being put be-
fore the mee,ing, as it would be invidious to object to any
of them, and suggeeted that the names of the persons com-
posing the Provisional Committee be read, and that the
Comniittee of Mahegement- be selected therefrom.
-Mr. DA.YRELL seconded the amendment, which, after con-
siderable discussion, was put from the chair, and loot by a
small majority.
The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously given
to Lord Dunboyne far presiding, and the proceedings ter-
minated.

OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON.
WORCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14.—The first
general meeting of the proprietors of the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhanteton Bailee ay took place this day, in the
Guildhall cf ti.e ctiy cf Worcester, fer the purpose of trans-
acting the general business of the company, and on other
special in -tters contained in the report.
Deputations, consisting of Charles Bousfield, Esq., F. F.
Bingley, Esq., and Jemes Ogle, Eq., Leeds; George Os,
born, Esq., John Leamieg, Esq., aed W. Beaumont, Esq.,
Bradford; T. Henry Heaps, Esa., and ether gentlemen, front
Huddersfield and lialifae, for the purpose of hearing the ad-
vantages to be derived from the pievesed plans of the Direc-
tors to the Yorkshire Shareholders, who hold to the amount
cf 10.000 shares.
J. Ruilbrd, Erq , the chairman cf the company, took the
chair at one o'clock, and was supported by J. P. Barlow,
Esq., W. Polhill, Esq., .Directors, and C. Saunders, Esq ,
secretary of the Great Western Railway Company, the Mayor
of Worcester, and-other gentlemen forming the boarded hi-
rectors. Mr. Brunel was also present.
The CITAIBMAN, after Minding to the late party contest,
referred to the necessity of appointing auditors, and the
recommendation of the Direttors that Mr. Noel Thomas
be elected their secretary, at a salary of (3001.
a year, tied proceeded to state teat the Provisional
Committee had deemed it dtsirable, fer the interests
of the company, to secure an extensive and important
traffic by entering into a conditional agreement with
the Stratford and Moreton Railway Company for a
perpetual lease of that Raileay. The amount of this
lease:vvould not be very large, not exceeding 50,0001.
They d also cetered into an agreement with the Stratford
and Men Canal Company end the Stourbridge Canal Cons
party for fhe purchase ef their respective canals. 'elm cost of
.the former would be lao,hoOrewhilst that of the latter would
not exceed looopi. They had also deemed it necessary to.
promote the formation of a company for making the railway
to Cheltenham, in connection with that line from Shipton-
uuder-Whichwood, and had agreed to take one-sixth of the
capital thereof, amounting to 60.000 e, and with the Great
Weeeern Company to gueraetee 4 per cent. on the capital
After leferring to :he arobabiltty of the line being extended
through Wm eeeter to Ner; et Wel, s, the Chairman alluded to
the necessity of making a call of 10/. per share, in order tet
enable the company to carry out tin works, and called the
attention of the Proprietors to other matters which he said
would be found en-11)KM in the report about to be laid
before the meeting. „.
Mr. NOEL T. S3lllll, the secretary, then read the report,
which went at length into those subjects to which the chair-
man had alluded.
The Clientele's propeecel that the report read be adopted,
and printed for the tteedethe shareholders.
Dr. BEAUMONT, of Hudderefield, raid that, before the ques-
tion was put, he eae de-irous, with the permission of the
chairmen, of propounding one or two questions, answers to
which, he thought, were essential to tile interests and well-
being of the company. First, Was the line actually leased
to tite Great We-tern Company, or, if Lot, was it
the intention of the direction to leave the line. and if se, o.
what terms? Secondly, How many shares had actually
been issuer', and how many were held by the proprietors of
the Great Western Railway Company? lle (Dr. Beaumont)
asked theeequestiome in the name of Shareholders present
from Hudeerstield, Halifax. and Leeds, holders of more than
10,00t).shares in the G mpany.
ThOCIIAIRMAN said that Dr. Beaumont had misread the
prospectus, the meaning of the paragraph Melded to heir g
to obtain the approval of the Great Western Company; he
would lied it was capable of a very different coeslruction,
and t'. at the agreement was not subject to tite approval of
that proprietary, but of the Great Western i reprietary. He
might hare remark that at their first outset they Were beset
with difficulties so greet that it was only by the assistance of
the Great Western Company that they couid proceed. That
assistance was given conditionally, on the understanding that
the line should be leased to them at three-and-a-half per
cent., end hail the surplus rrofite. Ere (the Chairman)
thought it was the beet thing for that company that could
have occurrel '1 hey could not enter into the question of
the agreement then, because that agreement was the basis of
the existence of the company; and as it was introduced into
the sabscribt rs' deed, the Shareholders, and Lot. the Directors,
were responsible for it. •
Mr. W. BARKER, in a lengthened address, eulogised the
advantages of the line, and contended that it ought to be
dealt with as en independent company.
Mr. DOUGLAS, of Birmingham, recommended that they
should petition rather than dictate the terms to the Great
Western Company.
Dr. BEAUMONT then followed in the same strain as Mr.
Burlier, urging thal the cempany ought to be unebackled,
and placed upon an independent footing with other impor-
tant truck lines.
Mr. THORNEYCEOFT said before they came to any deter-
mination upon this wetter they must remember that at
the time they ceutracted with the Great Western Company
the London end Birthingham Company had refused them till
red.ese, and had they not entered into that contract they
would heve been literally bankrupt.
Mr. SAUNDERS, the secretary of the Great Western Com-
pany, briefly urged the meeting not to adopt any steps
which should create a disunion amongst themselves or tend
to premete, di,cord bete eon the two allied companies. The
projectors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Cempany would be the first to feel the ill effects Of holding
out any threat of repudiation towards the Great Weetern
Company.—(Hear.)
The report Was then adopted, as were the various other
resolutions proposed by the Directors.
A vete of thanks being given to the chairman, the meet-
ing separated.

GRAVESEND Amosrumuc.—Yesterday, a large assem-
blage of the inhabitants of Gravesend, amongst whom were
the principal magistiat, a and members i f the town council,
met in the large roe n of the Town-hall, lligh-street, for the
purpose of hearing FM c.x.roit ion (-idle merits of theprojected
(Pilhro w's) A tmosphei is Railway from London to Gravesend.
Dr. Hewlett sent into a lerp-,th(ned detail of the principle of
Piihrow's atmioptietll p?opukion, in the course of which he
exhibited a model to explain more fully the process of apply-
ing the atmospheric pressure. At the cone:usion of the
learned gentleman's remarks, a vote of thanks was pa sal to
the I.lL.yor for his kindness in granting the use of the Town-
hall, when the assemblage broke up.

• they c,uld rave themselves from trorble and annoyance,
than the people of this country. Toe rise of cities and
marlict: in India has ben as great to elsewhere. Trade
has eloingtd its channels wi,h a change of circum-
stances, in Europe ; and the enormous traffic which
now lasses the Ghauts, has sprung wd wittin a f'Th"
yenrs ago, as also has the opium t-ade fr. m Males. All
classes are eager, to a fault, in the pursuit of commerce
and of g4in ; indeed, I believe, in the absence of ary ure-
r4o.at great interests, and looking at the simplicity of the
r;es habits, they would at once attach themselves
anyto
ewclianndi of- track atibrding the inestimable ad-
vantages a speed, ce(taintv,_ and security, combined with
ec,norn a'" the preseot time grain sca:cely commands a
price in some rae4,,of the interior; but though no direct
export et this cominAlity were to take place, Set any con-
siderable increase in the pr,ducti-n of cotton and other ex-
portable produce, would, of comae, give a value to grain in
those distric's, as it would create a local market for it with
the producers of other commodities, but who are now
themselves engaged in the tultivation of grain. In short,
it may be sroely said, that if a market be opened, and a
value be found for any one produce in the interior, every
other class ofthe surrounding commit ity till lanic;pate in
the benefit derived fr, m it, from whence it becomes tx-
' pedient that every kind of production should be made the
subject of inquiry. With regard to the consumption of
the interior, the chief article in weight is salt, as noted by
Mr. Clial man ; and a further idea of the inland trade may
he gained from the account 'Afore adverted to, f
that of the Bhorc Gbaut. But it may be saf-13
assumed that the imports would keep race trite
any increase of exports, and that every surplus in
the hands of the cultivators would be expended
in the purchase of goods chiefly of Bran manufacture.
That whit regard to passengers, it seems to be assumed by
the Court of Directors that but few will travel by the rail-
way; •ttough we have not the advantage of habits induced
by the long establishment of road conveyances, nor the fl-
enty thence arising of estimating the extent of travelling, it
is not to be a,.somed that there would not be on this side of
India very considerable travelling by a railway, for the
cans, s from which travelling itrists in England are in exist-
ence though not operating to the same extent here. The
trading classes of the community are in general migr.ttory,
and in the habit of visiting their native country, as well us
other places, for commercial purposes. The met chants are in
the habit of keeping up agencie, about the country, or of
employing travelling agents. The people migra'e in search
of employment, many travel to visit places from religious
motives and for change of climate, also to visit at particular
festivals; and, as regards Bombay, pri•bably three-fourths of
the whole population are foreigners,, visiting at intervals
their native country. But if the means were at hand, and
irotead of journe3hig for a month they could reach their
homes in a day, there would be no indisposition to travel
there, for however small their eaminga may be, it is not to
be supposel that they have thcret ,re no surplus wages. That
they find nit ney for occasions, is shown by their great ex-
penditure on marriagt s and oher ceremonials. It is their
char,cteristic to be thrifty for a year, that they may be ex-
t ravn4ant for a day. Inquiry should, therefore be made into
the numbers of the travelling population, aid the present
state of travelling, its cost, and tie dclays and the vexations
that travellers are compelled to suffer.
Tins EAtir INDIAN.—The Committee announce that Mr.
Stephensoo, the inanagirg director, and three engineers, ale
in India, with Mr. Sims, the Govcrament engineer, for the
purpos,e of entering into negotiations with the Bengal Go-
vernment, to whom the questi-n of rai way communicathin
has been referred by the East- India Company. Should the
great trunk from Calcutta to Mei zapore be adopted, exten-
sions will be made to .jobdpere.
GREAT NORTH INDIAN.—This line proposes to connect.
Delhi, Agra, and Allahabad. The line is intended to com-
mence at Allatiabad, the point where the steam navigation of
the Gauges terminates, and will form from that city a
grant trunk line to Cawnpore, Agra, and Delhi, and with the
proposed line from Calcutta and Mirzapoor, is designed to
complete the trunk line from Calcutta to the north-western
frontier. A Hue is also to be run front Madras to Arcot, with
a probable extension to Yellore.

RESIGNATION OF H. SERGEANT
MURPHY. M.P.
Mr. sergeant Murphy has yielded to the Repeal brawlers
of Cork, who are now at liberty to look out fur a Member to
their' own hearts. The Southern Report er..—a thorough Re-
pealer, " regrets" the Learned Sergeant did not follow his
advice and remain in static quo till the next general election.
He adds :—" We have lost an excellent practicil represen•
tative—one whose services were at all times at the disposal
of Lis constituents, who gave uriversal satisfaction to this
great commercial community, from his extensive knowledge
of their interests whose political creed was extreme
Radical."
The Reporter is evidently ashamed of the course pursued
towards Mr. Murphy. "We were," says that journal,
opposed to coerctun, because no honourable mind would
yield to it. We deprecated the pet tonal hostility by which
seine parties were influenced; and though we received a
severe reproof on that occasion, from one whom we venerate
and respect, we still continue f opinion that our course was
as judie.ous as it. leas t:onest and patriotic."
The iollow ing is the Learned Gentleman's address
" TO THE ELECTORS OF TIIE CITY OF CORK.
" Gentlemen,— You have been for some time aware that it
is Inv intention to resign, before the next session. the repre-
sentation of sour city. I deem it respectful to lay before
you the reasons which have induced me to adopt this

course.
It will be in your recollection that., when I first solicited
the di*tinguisheet honour ot being your representative, many
objections were made to my e bgiUthty. By tome the sin-
cerity of my political professions was questioned—ter others
it appeared impossible that one so little conversant
with mace:utile details, could discharge efficiently the
duties required by a mercantile commuuity--whilst many ob-
jected to me on the gr,aind that my residence in this coun-
try deprived we of the neceseaty ,Tiutiermation. en your local
matters, to r nabie me to ascert44:and minister to your locsl
wants. Toe flattering teetinioniO4f approval which have
been temlered to me by all teOttotis e: t your cemmunity
turned tire best answer to these objeetienN, and, as a conse-
quence of this reaction, a most akand feeling has sprung up
and subsisted between us for suite years. Believe me that
the severance of our political connexion will create no dimi-
nution of that feeling on my part. •
"It was impossible I could shut my. eyes to the probable
effect of the Repeal movement on the next elections in Ire-
land. having been elected your representative, notwith-
standing my declining to take the Repeal pledge at the
outset of my political career, I bad expected that your
n in that regard would have been postponed until
the ileat eleceion. had that been so, it would have been
my duty et all sacrifices to have remained your
;epreseetative until the dissolution of this Parlia-
ment. I lid experienc, d in my own case that, however.
graceful ; n appendage a scat in Parhameut may prove to
many diet.; gushed friends of mine, who have attained the
highest. walks of the profession, to one, like myself, snuggling
enwatds in the race, it operated as a serious disadvantage,
still I should have been preparei to have borne this disad-
enotage, as well as my exclusion from a lucrative branch of
professional employment, had nut the resolution, conveyed to
are, in June last, by intimatiug that I had forfeited the con-
fidence of a large and influential portion of the coustitueuey
role:vett all grounds of difficulty.
I em anaioae, therefore, by retiring before the next ses-
sion, t,) give you an epport unity ot selecting as s our repre-
sentative a gertleman whose views shall be snore in coolOr
nib v with-your own, and who shall, therefore, command your
conlidence, aird for years to come it is my intention toabanden
political life, and eevota myself exclusively to professional
pursuits. 1 will not affect to deny that sacrifice I
tides make is a painful one. I bed hoped that it might
have been in my power, under the guidance of a more
matured Parliamentary experience, to have redeemed
efforts that I cannot but consider as crude and ineffective. It
may, however, happen that an alteration in your views, as
as well as in my own individual circumstances, might induce
me at some future time to ambition the distinction of a seat
in Pariiament. In such a case I shall venture to appeal to
my four years of zealous services, so often kindly recognised
as a claim for future confidence.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant.
".FRANCIS S. MURPHY.
"3, Sergeants' Inn, October, 6, 1845."
There is a second communication from the Learned Ser-
geant, directed to the chairman of a meeting of the Repeal
wardens, who resolved that "the best thanks of the members
of this ball be given to Sergeant Murphy, for his very
efficient services during the fenr years that he has been our
very excellent representative, and that we deeply deplore
that circumstances should occur to sever the tie that existed
between him and his constituents."
" TO ANDREW F. ROCHE, ESQ., ALDERMAN, CORK.
"My dear Sir,—[ trust you will not attribute my delay in
replying to the resolution, which you were good enough to
forward to me, to any disrespect to yourself; or to the body from
which that resolution emanated. I considered it would be
more formal to make public my intention of resigning, before
I ecknowledged any resolution, forwarded en the mere ru-
mour of such an intention en my pent, unauthentic. ted
by my own announcement ef the fact. I accept with
satisfaction the kind expressions cf the body of which
you acted as the organ, because whatever speculatiso
differences may exist between us, I cannot but recognise
in all the members of that body, men of high integrity, mom
and political honesty, and conscientiously devoted to what
thy consider the be: t interests of the country. It is, there-
fore, a source uf great pleasure to me, to carry with me into
retirement the regret of such men, and know that I have so
shaped my political course as to merit the friendship of those
who oppose me on public grounds.—Believe me, dear Sir.
yours, very faithfolly, "F. S. MURPHY.

SOMERTON.—WiIIiam Pinney, Esq., of Somerton-
house, with his usual liberality, has given up the whole of
the rent due this year to him from the holders pf his peer
allotments, amounting to thirty in number, in consequence
of the potato disease; and on Saturday last the whole of the
abourera on the estate had one guinea e: ch, in additio.,

ably with the wish of his deceased father.— Shcr6orne Journal.
TRURO MONTHLY CATTLE MARKET.—This mar-
ket as as held on Wednesday. last, but in consequence of the
previous Summercourt fair, and the approaching Michell fair.
there was a small attendance, and but little business was
done. The supply of cattle was less than usual, and the
sale genera:lv dull ; fat cattle sold from 455. to 50s. per cwt.,
cows and cal;-esnt high prices. There was a good supply of
sheep, but very few bu 3 era ; sellcrs were asking from 56d. to

WELLINGTON STATUn.—We are almost ashamed
to state that this work I f art has been again subjected to
injuries, wilfully and recklessly committed by some person or
persons as yet unknown. The has reliefs on the pedestal
have been defaced in a manner lure serious than they
were a few weeks ago, when we had to announce a sLeilar
outrage—several of he bayonets on the guns of the soltlers
have been broken off, ethers have been torn from the sides
of the figures, and the scabl and on one of the equestrian
figures lat.s slso been destroyed, besi.:.!.es other injuries of alike
nature. This act of vandalism was perpetrated in the course
of Friday night; but, so far as we have heard, no trace of
the offenders has yet been discovered. It will be seen that
the Committee on the statue have offered a rewant of 1001.
for the detection of the guilty party or parties; and it is to
be hoped that it may prove successful in bringing them to
punishment.— Glasgow Argus.
SERIOUS CAB ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon,
a serious accident occurred to a man named Edward Scully,
aged 5.2 years, in the employ of Mr. Golding, carman, of the
London Docks. He was delivei ing some goods at one of the
wharfs in Lower Thames-street, and whilst coming to the
street from under the gateway, lie was jammed. between an
iron post and the wheel of a cabriolet, which was entering at
the moment, He fell to the wound in a state of insensibility,
and in that condition was removed to Guy's Hospital, where
he remains without hopes of recovery, having sustained

REIJEW OF THE BRITISH CORN

'TIIA
LrE DURING THE PAST WEEK.
The very wet, rinfaveurable weather experienced during
the week ha,; dune so much injury to that portion of the
crops still abroad in the mrtle ru comities as to render it
next to impossible fer the grain to be secured in any other
than the worst condition, however auspicious the weather
may her:after become. When rain occurs •erly hi. the
season, its eth-c:s may, frequently, 'be almost wholly re-
medied ; hut the year is now too far 'advanced to admit us
to hope that the mischief dose in the present case can Ire
repaired : the shortness of the dap, the diminished power
of the sun, and the heavy eight dews, all tend to prevent
that which has been thoroughly saturated with wet being
easily (bled, except by ai Oficial 'Leans ; the sera which
has been exposed in the fields to the frequent heavy
showers of the past fortnight (and the quantity is, we are
sorry to learn, considerable) must therefore inevitably be
cared in a damp state. In some localities, where there
have been heavy flood., a portion will be entirely lost, and
that part saved can scarcely be expected to be in fit order
fir thrashmg for months to conic. So fir, therefore, from
any improvement having' taken place in our prospects,
there is reason to fear that the result of the har•
vest—taking the kingdom collectively—a ill prove
even more unfavourable than was before apprehended ;
and there can no longer be any doubt that tine old wheat
will become more valuable in proportion as it is found to be
required for mixing with the damp. inferior qualities of new.
That the quantity left over of last year's crop is trifling, is
generally admitted ; whilst it is an undoubted fact that of
free foreign very little remains in the country. It is true
that we have about half a million of quarters of wheat in
bend in the kingdom, and it is possible 'hat somewhat about
10.4,000 quarters tow arrive before winter puts a stop to
shipments frem the Baltic ; but even were the whcic of this
quantity immediately released, we doubt whether it would
to any material influence on prices. In the present posi-
tion of affairs it is not likely, honever, that importers
will enter fir home consumption, as by leaving their
property under lock, they will be in a position to take
advantage of the fail which must, later in the year, occur in
the duty.

The trade in Wheat has, since her last, been active ; and
not only has the previously established advance been main-
tained, nut a further rise in prices has taken place at many
oft be priecipal markets. Notwithstanding the inducement
held out by the present remunerating rates, farmers have
amanifested very little anxiety to part with their wheat, and
the dedveri-s have rather fallen oil than increased ; buyers
have, on the other hand, deemed it prudent to make further
addition to their stocks, and, at present, we can discover no
symptoms of a re-aetioa.
At Liverpool, on Tuesday, the best dry qualities of new
Wheat were readily planed at terms fully 3d. per 70Ibe. above
these of that day sennight ; and old rose to about the same
extent. Bonded parcels were sought after; but, in conse-
quence of the very high rates demanded, the actual transac-
tions were not extensive. On Friday the inclination to make
investments was more general than in the early part of the
week; and for a parcel of ordinary red Baltic, in bond, 7s.
per 701bs. was paid.
The- reperts from Leeds and Hull, of Tuesday, though of a
decidedly' firm chaacter, are less acimeted than might have
been anticipated, considering the quantity of rain which has
recently fallen in York Shire. At neither of the places last
named were the millers willing to pay enhanced rates, end
sellers declining to accept thrrner prices, the operations were
comparatively unimportant; the case was, however, different
at Wakefield on Friday, the continue:l wet having created
much uneasinees for the outstanding portion of the crops. On
the whole a fair amount of business was transacted there, and
Wheat realised from ls. to 2s. per quarter more than on that
day se'nnight.
The advices from the western and north-western markets
report a rieterial rise in quotations. At Bristol, on Thursday,
all kinds r f Wheat advanced Is. to 2s per quarter; and at-
Birmingham, en the same day, the enhancement amounted
from 2s. to 3s per quarter. Letters from the last-named town
infirm U 3 that a good deal of Wheat, a proportion of the Peas
and 'fares, and nearly the whole of the Beans, arc still abroad
in that reighbourhood.
As already remarked, only moderate supplies have this
week been brought forward by the growers; and at the ship-
ping ports on the east coast—from whence the growth of
Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk is dispatched to
the chief consumieg markets—the supplies have fallen some-
what short of the demand. At Spalding and Lynn, on
Tuesday, the turn was decidedly in favour of the seller; and
at Boston, on Wednesday, the advance amounted to fully 2s.
per quarter.
Our advices from Scotland speak very despondingly of the
weather, and the progress made with harvest operations in
that country. Even in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh
much of the corn, we are informed, is still in the fields; and
in the backward localities, immense injury has, it is feared,
been done by the heavy and constant rain ; as, however,
the prospects in respect to quantity were previously very
good, it was still hoped that—though the quality would be
inferior:—abent an average produce would be secured. These
remarks apply mere particularly to Oats, the staple crop cf
the country ; Wheat appears there, as with us, to have
suffered from the want of warmth anal excess of moisture
during the summer months, and is therefore expected to be
short in yield. There was considerable excitement in the
grain trade at Edinburgh on %Vedne:d•ry. Wheat was
quoted 2s. per quarter, Bailey Is. to is. 6:1., and Oats ls. to
2s. per quarter higher, with an active demand for each. At
Glasgow business was also lively on the day named, and the
rise in price was quite as great at the last as at the fist men-
tioned town.

Ireland appears to have been visited with similar weather to
that experienced on this side of the Channel; ant a good deal
of injury is raid to have been done in the later districts, not
only to the corn remaining abroad, but also to the Potatoes.
These reports, and the rise in the English markets, had caused
holders of groin to demand higher terms; and at the prin-
cipal markets, the value of Wheat and Oats had tended
upwards.
The arrivala of Wheat coastwise into London have slightly
increased; (3,785 quarters having been reported up to this
(Saturday) eveWng, against 5,636 quarters the preceding
week. A coesi,lerable proportion of the supply is from Lin
colnshire, the greater part of which has guile to the millers
direct. From the home counties the show of samples at
Mark lane has been very small; indeed so trifling, that the
buyers have experienced some difficulty in securing the
quantity required for present use. The few lets exhibited on
the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands, on Wednesday, eve:e
easily placed at prices not previously obtainable; whilst on
Friday a rise of ls. to 2s. per quarter on the rates current in
the beginning of the week was insisted on, and vary gene-
rally realised for really ee,od qualities, whether old or new.
The damp rendition in which much of the new Wheat has
come to hand I as rendered an extensive mixtureof old neces-
sary, sod the finer kinds of free foreign have been, therefore,
a good deal sought after; holders of the latter have conse-
quently- raised their pretensi, us; and the sales made at the
close of the week were at prices Is. per quarter above those
at which purchases might have been effected on Monday.
A lively inquiry for bonded Wheat has prevailed through-
out the we k, and had importers been disposed to have
accepted former terms, extensive trans-actions would probably
have been entered into. The very high rates asked have, to
a certain degree, checked business; still acme rather large
sales were concluded on Friday far good to fine high mixed
Dantzic Wheat at 565. to 66a. per quarter, and for a lot of old
red Konigsberg 525. 6d. per quarter wan paid. There was
very little Lower Baltic Red Wheat offering as low as 505.,
and for tine heavy 'Rostock sellers declined accepting less than
525., making the rise from Monday fully 28. per quarter.
As yet the duty remains at 18s. per quarter, but the ave-
rages are now coming high even from the agricultural dis-
tricts, and a fall must take place before the end of the ninnth;
whilst, from the present position of affairs, we are inclined to
thick that Wheat will, ere the termination of the year, be
admissible at 108. or 12a, if not lower.
'lhe Millers have shown some unwillingness to enter into
forward contracts to deliver Flour, expecting a further rise in
the value of the article. Ship Flour was decidedly dearer on
Friday, as was also Canadian and United States.
Th; arrivals of Barley have yet but slightly increased,

from our own coast, 670 qrs. from Scotland, and 5,267 qrs.
from Ireland. From abroad there have been no arrivals.
Though that portion of the Oat crop which was secured
early yielded well to the acre, and proves of good quality,
so large a proportion of the harvest is vet abroad in Ireland
and Scotland that it has become doubtful whether the total
qnantity will come up to the estimates formed of the yield
earlier in the year. This, and the disease by which the po-
tatoes have everywhere been attacked—a circumstance
which must cause a greatly increased consumption of oat-
meal=---may account for the firm tone which holders of oats
have this week assumed. On Wednesday few factors were
willing to cell at former prices, and on Friday an advance of
6d. to is per qr. was establi-hed without difficulty not only
on home brews, but likewise on free foreign Oats.
In the early part of the week the price, of Beans bad rather
a downward tendency, but the continued wet weather, and
the probability of the outetanding crop being much injured
thereby. gave rise to a more lively demand on Friday, when
the slight depression was completely recovered.
Peas were also much more sought'. after at the close than in
the commencement of the week, nod neither white, blue, nor
maisles, could be secured on so easy terms on Friday as on
Monday.—elfark-lase Express.

CURTOSITY.—An ordinary earthenware dish, pur-
chased at the Cambrian pottery, in this town, about 16 months
ago, by Williams, a tailor, residing in Goat-street, has excited
a considerable portion of curiosity in the minds of some of our
townspeople during the past week. It appears that a short
time since a great number of small crystalized substances,
having the appearance of flowers, or miniature mushrooms,
were observed to grow out of the dish, breaking through the
hard glazed surface. One or two of these grew to the extent
of an inch, but were accidentally broken, Others are now
budding forth, coveting nearly the whole surface of the dish.
'The taste is very similar to that of common salt. The oldest
and most expotienced individuals engaged in the insumfac-
tures of earthenware in this town do not rememl cr witnessing
such appearances on any previous occasion. A potter, who
also keeps the Compass public-house in • High-street, pur-
chased the article from the original owner for 11. 55., and has
issued bills announcing it for exhibition. The general ina-
' pression in the upper region of our town is, that it is a "be-
witched dish ;" but we opine that chemists*, r_ on analysation,
would be able to account fur these curious appearances, by
the accidental presenco of some chemical ingredient not usu-
ally found in the materials from which such articles are manu-
rite turel--Cambritrit.

NORTHERN MEETING.

Wednesday last was the day announced as that on which
the annua' meeting of the nobility and gentry of the High-
lands was to commence. Although several equip es
arrived in town on that day, the amusements of the meeting
did not commence till Thursday. A good deal of snxiety
• was felt lest the boisterous state of the weather should oeca-
sion a thin attendance, and lessen the enjoyment of the
games; but, notwithstanding the absence of several northern
familia, we were glad to observe that the number present
at the meeting \vas fully as large as usual. The
games and sports of every kind were keenly eon-
test.cd, and we do not remember to have seen so many
competitors for leaping at any previous meeting.
There were suppers and balls- on Thursday and
Friday evenings—Colonel Bane. of Redcastle, presiding on
Thursday-, and Mr. Grout, of Glenmorriston, on Friday. On
either night there cou!d not be less than one hundred and
fifry who partook of the ,flyper and refreshments, which
were furnished by Mr. ranr, cf the Caledonian and Union
Hotels, in his usual very superior etyle. The mu: c was un-
der the superintendence of Mr. Lowe, and its excellence was
duly appreciated. The ladies were, as usual, elegantly at--
tired, and amongst the gentiemen wearing the -Highland
dre:s were Lord Lovat, Lord Reidhaven, Glenmorriston, Mr.
Mackintosh, of Daviot, Mr. Mackintosh, jun., of Reigmore,
Mr. Robertson, of Strowan, Mr. Robertson, Foveran, &c. &e.
The Hen. Lewis Grant, and most of the officer's present, ap-
penre;l in uniform, _ _

On Thursday the games took place on the Longm,,n, cont.
mencing at cue o'clock, and ending shortly after four. With
the exception of a shower at the commencement, the day
kept favourable throughout. The scene of action was very
animating. The crowd assembled on the occasion Was largo,
and not a few carriages were drawn up outside the barrier.
The unusual ada ion (f several of the military belonging
to the 87th regiment from Fort George, who canto to try
their prowess in leapirn r, excited much interest whilst this
sport was going on. ~..kftcr a heen competition, the prizes
for throwing the lunnmer, putting the stone, leaping, and

The competition of pipers co:emenced at twelve o'clock
on Friday in the Academy-park. A gallery was erected
for the accommodation of the ladies, and it was filled from
end to end with an array of all the beauty and fashion at
the meeting, and those comprising the eliie of our town.
In front was a platform for the pipers and dancers, and
seats were ranged round for the gentlemen present and
the judges. By two o'clock a large crowd had collected
around the harrier. The pipers one by one Nured
forth their foul-stirring pibrochs, and were loudly cheered
at the conclusion of the wild laments and martial airs.
It was obvious, however, that these displays were pro-
longed to an extent that made the attention flag.
The day was bitter cold, and some partieS amused them-
selves by testing their speed of foot in the park. Peels
and dancing at length succeeded the pibrochs, and Oa
stragglers soon joined the main bedy of on-lookers. Before
the conclusion of the performances, at four o'clock, rain de-
scended in torrents. The judges were—Glenrooriston; Mr.
Mackintosh, yr. of Mackintosh; General Gordon of Lochdu ;
and John Chisholm, Esq., Inverness, who, at the conclusion
awarded the prizes as under :

to Alexander Cameron, Roschaugh.
2d ditto, best. dressed Highlander at his master's expense,
21. 25., to John Maclennan, piper to Mr. Campbell of Troup
and Glenlyon.
On Saturday forenoon a numerous crowd again repaired to
the Longman to enjoy the races. The day was tine, and
every one ecemed pleased with the appearances on every side.
We regret, however, to state, that, owing to the roughness
41 part of the race-course, a line horse, ridden by Captain
Fraser, Fort George, sustained a compound fracture in one of
his legs. Much regret was manifested in consequence of this
untoward event. The horse was one of the finest on the
ground, and decidedly the favourite. The racing was as
keenly contested as were any of the pretious games, and the
scene was truly animating as the steeds and their riders swept
over the course, greeted by the nests of the congregated
multitude. The tollowing is the result of the day's spurt:—

THE LEAGUE BAZAAR IN THE
FREE-TRADE HALL.
The bazaar for the purpose of dispoAng of the articles
remaining unsold at the termination of the late hezaar in
Covent-garden Theatre, and of a great r umber and
variety of eentributions received since the clone of that
bazaar from various parts of the kingdom, opens on
Wednesday next, for six days, closing on the even-
ing of Tuesday the 21st instant. The interior is
I now being converted into a Tudor-hall—say of the
reign of Elizabeth and the time of Shakspeare—from
designs by Grieve. The end wall at the back of tho
platform represents an architectural screen and the
vaulted roof of a hall beyond, which adds greatly to the
apparent length of the hall. ThCre are three arched
entrances in the screen, and the arched vestibule and
other parts of the screen are covered with blueedra-
perit s. The whole is richly decarated with the band 4,
scrolls, bosses, and medallion centre-pieces, which form
the characteristic features of the Tudor style. A bold
and rich design is repeated in compartments along the
friezes of the clerestory. In the midst of each com-
partment is a central oval medallion, within which is a
nymphlike figure ; on each side of this, the intervals
being filled up. with scrolle and bands of various co-
lours, in the style of the period, is a squared medal-
lion, or panne), in each of which is a figure of a boy-child
seated on a heap of cut corn, one figure being a reaper
and the other a gleaner. The ceiling has had a warmer
tint given to it, aid round the ventilating apertures over
the candelabra is an ornamental design, in harmony with
the decorations already described. Over each of the
pillars (which have been repainted and gilded) is a
representative of a bronze statue, of a female draped
figure. In addition to the usual lights, a rich cetagonal
Gothic lantern is to he suspend, d, mide ity in each of the
spaces between the pillars. These lanterns are the same
!hat were used at the beziar at Covent-garden Theatre.
A double range of stalls en each side the hell, in ser-
pentine form, will surround the pillars, containing
!tidies' work, fancy articles, and the countless articles
of miscellaneous character that form the staple stock
of bazaars : a semicircular stall in front of the plat-
form, rre.Firled es-cr by Mrs. Thomas Alroolley and
Matley, wili supply refreshments. A single range of
stalls under -the side galleries will contain the articles
of curiosity and rcrta (amongst others many models and
several collections of coins) ; and the platform wall be
wholly occupied by the pictures, water caleur draw-
ings, engravings, &c., 171 in number, and valued at from.
4001. to SOO/. Amongst them is an oil painting represent-
ing Poesy, by Carlo Dolei, pre:ented by Mr. J. 13.
Smith; a fine water-colour drawing portrait of Gains-
borough, by himself; photographic portraits of Mr.
Cobden, Mr. Bright, &c.; a number of portfolios of
prints, views worked in silk, an autograph letter of
Washington, a lock of Sir Walter Scott's hair, &c. Be-
tween the ranges of stalls the hall floor will be open
for promenading., except in the centre, where a very
beautifully designed fountain in bronze, cast by Messrs.
Derby, of Cnlebrookdsle, and presented by them to the
League, will be erected, and made to throw its waters into
uainiature jets, Sz.c. Amongst some of the most interesting
models are two exhibiting a farm in East Lothian,
presented by Mr. floury Ashworth. One shows
every field and its crops, with the fare of the
country, and the position of the farm-steads, Scr.
The otl er exhibits the farm stead with its quad-
rangle of buff sings round the yard ; and by lifting off
the roof of the buildings, their interior arrangements
are disclosed. Amongst the articles of vertu is is
fine fac-simile of the celebrated Warwick Vase. We
find it vain to attempt to notice even the most
remarkable contributions in various departments ; and
therefore will only add that the bazaar promise;
to be one full of tempting and attractive article;,
and to he got up in every respect in that spirited style
for which the League is renowned. A full bend is t ►
be in attendance daily; and the League have arranged
for a special train from Newcastle, Shields, Durham,
&ea on Tuesday next, to return on the following Friday.

Letters from the squadron, in Simon'a Bay, Cap-
of Good Hope, dated the 14th of July, mention that the
Pagoda, under the charge of Lieutenants Moore ant
Clarke, had arrived there on the 20th of June, front

latitudes, and had been put out of commission, the ex-
pedition, after having reached the 68 deg. of latitude,
were stopped by a heavy pack of ice, and having run
97 degrees of eastern longitude, between the latitudes
of 61 and 64 deg. were drove out by the heavy iceberges.

the ice still continuing very thick, they lost their main-
yard, the wind still blowing .hard, and the heavy work the
ship must have experienced during the voyage through
so much ice, compelled them to run for King George's
Sound, and they arrived there on the Ist of April. This
is th. first ship that has ever been sent down by her-
self in those latitudes, and the only time that the 97 deg.

observations in those Southern seas, without losing a single,
man, or any sickness throughout the voyage, and the ship its

SURREY SESSIONS.-TUESDAY.
The general quarter sessions for the county of Surrey com-
menced yesterday, at the Court House Kingston. There was
a very full attendance of magistrates. E. Pennryn, Esq.,
presided as chairman, and there ware also present Earl Love-
lace, H. Kemble, Esq., M.P.; J. Trotter, Esq., M.P. ; Sir R.
Fredwick, J. J. Briscoe, Esq.; Colonel Challoner, T. Puckle,
Esq. ; J. W. Freslifield. Esq- ; G. T. Nicholson, Esq.; J.
Jefti-ey, Esq. ; R. C. Austen, Esq.; C. Barclay, Esq.; A. K.
Barclay, Esq. ; J. E. Johnson, Esq., &c.
The surgeons of the different gaols made their reports,
from which it appeared that their respective establishments
are generally healthy, and the surgeon of Brixton Gaol gave
some rather curious information relative to the effect of the
prison discipline and diet on the prisoners. It appeared that
in many cases the prisoners gained considerably in weight;
in two instances where the prisoners were confined for six
months, the increase being in one case 151b5., and in the
other 2.51b5.

The County Treasurer (Mr. Smallpieee) then reported the
state of the county finances. He said there was a balance
is hand at the last meeting of the Court, of 8,1081. 3s. 3d.,
which sum had been increased by a county rate of 2d. in the
pound, and other items, to 20,911/. is. Bd. ; he had had on
behalf of the county 12,800/, which included a sum of 6,189/.
o's account of the money borrowed for the erection of the
Cenntv Lunatic Asylum, and there were other bills now due,
which would reduce the amount of the balance in his hands
to 7,93=4, which would be sufficient to carry lain on to the
next session without another rate.
A lengthenep discussion then took place on the motion of
Mr. Barclay fur the erection of a lock-up house at Dorking,
and another of a similar nature by Mr. Nicholson for Farn-
ham, under the new Parish Constables' Act.
Mr. BARCLAY, after remaking on the want:experienced at
Dorking of some place of security for prisoners before exa-
mination, observed that, as the question was a novel one,
and arose under a new Act of Parliament, he and the• gen-
tlemen who had brought the matter forward did not feel
themselves sufficiently acquainted with the details to make
any motion to the Court on the present occasion, and he
should, therefore, move that the matter be referred back to
the magistrates acting in these divisions of the county; that
they should consider the matter fully, and be prepared, by
the next session, to give the Court ample information on the
subject.

In answer to questions put by one of the magistrates, it
was stated to be the intention to appoint an officer to take
charge of the lock-ups, who would superintend the con-
stables of the district.

The Earl of LOVELACE said, he was not at present suffici-
ently acquainted with the subject to give any opinion re-
specting it; but he trusted this was not an endeavour, by a
side wind, to introduce the constabulary into the country.
Mr. Nicitor.sox said, there was no ground for such a sup-
position. The person appointed as superintendent would be
a parish officer to all intents and purposes, and would be paid
by the parish.
After some further conversation, it was arranged that the
matter should be referred, as proposed by Mr. Barclay, with
a view to the Court being placed in possession of all the
details, before they came to any decision upon the subject.

G UILD F 0 itD QUARTER
SESSIONS.
(Before the lion. G. C. NORTON, Recorder.)
NERVOUS EXCITEMENT AND ROBBERY.

Martin Williams, solicitor's clerk, was placed at the bar,
charged with having, on the evening of the Gth of September
last, etolen three gold chains, the property of Mr. Triggs,
eweller and watchmaker, High-street, Guildford.
• No counsel had been engaged fer the prosecution; Mr.
Parry appeared fur the defence.
From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that the
prisoner, about nine o'clock on the evening in question,
dashed his hand through the shop window of Mr. Triggs,
and having seized three gold chains which lay there, ran
slowly down the street. As above a dozen persons were
near the spot at the time, and witnessed the transaction,
he was instantly pursued and taken into custody. When
Mr. Triggs, who it'as conversing with a friend in the shop
when tire window was smashed, had reached the spot where
the prisoner had been seized, the- latter pulled the chains
out of his pocket, and presenting them to the former, said,
" Here are, your chains ; do not be alarmed." He was taken
to the station-house and searched ; and found to have in his
possession only one farthing in money, a bit of deal, and a
pair of gloves. ills appearance betokened great bodily
exhaustion, his clothes were soiled, and his hands and face
unwashed. lie appeared to set much store by the shapeless
bit of deal, and requested the constable to leave it in his pos-
session, and when this was refused, he charged the officer to
take care of it. On his examination before the magistrates,
previous to his committal, he reiterated his request to be
allowed the wood, and it was again refused, and he appeared
rather annoyed in consequence. This conduct on the part of
the prisoner excited suspicion that his mind was disordered.
Mr. PARRY, for the defence, admitted that the prisoner
had stolen the chains in the manner deposed by the wit-
nesses, and stated that be also considered him of sound mind
when the act was committed, and consequently responsible
for his actions ; but still he (Mr. P.) felt convinced that he
should be able to convince the jury that the prisoner could
not be found guilty of the charge laid in the indictment of
having feloniously stolen the property. The prisoner had
taken the chains, rot for the purpose of depriving the pro-
secutor of the property, but to get himself transported. The
very act itself was proof enough of that desire. The prisoner
selected a time when the street was full of people, and parties
were in the shop, to seize the chains, and then he had slowly
ran away in order to maintain the impression that he was a
regular thief, The Learned Gentleman, having assured the
jury that what he was going to state was nothing but the
purest truth, proceeded to narrate the following circum-
stances :—The prisoner had been in the employ of a noted
firm is London as a confidential clerk for twenty years, but
having been, by the death of one of the partners, deprived of
the situation, he made application for another under another
solicitor, and although there were above two hundred other
applicants, his excellent character obtained him the pre-
ference. Bat here unfortunately his writing was not
considered sufficiently good, and his employer intimated to
him as much. The prisoner being of a remarkably ner-
vous and excitable temperament, took this to heart, and
began to fear that he would be discharged, and ex-
pesed to want and misery, along with his wife and
child, to whom he was most affectionately attached. Op-
pressed with this idea, he absented himself feom his em-
ployment on Monday, the Ist of September, and started
into the country with only Is. ad. in his pocket, and
without having -formed the least plan to act upon. He
wandered about half distracted the whole week, and
on Saturday arrived at Guildford in a very deplorable
condition, as he had not slept in a bed nor taken food from
the Weelnesday ; and havirs, conceived the idea that he
should be far lees miserable if were transported from the
country, he broke the window and stole the chains to secure
that—in his excited imaginath.n—desirable position. This
would explain the circumstance which -had caused so much
curiosity—the prisoner's attachment to the bit of deal. That
insignificant bit of wood he had seen his child cutting on the
day previous to his flight from his home, and he wished to
treasure it as a memorial of the son whom lie felt convinced
he should never see again. Time Learned Gentleman called
the fullowing witnesses to character :
Mr. Frederick E. Thompson, of the firm of Springliall
Thompson, and Powell, Raymond's-buildings, London, de-
posed that he had known the prisoner 20 years as confidential
clerk to Mr. Springhail. Witness would have trusted him
with thousands of pounds without the least hesitation, such
confid,nce had he in his integrity. He had come expressly
down to bear that testimony.

Mr. A. Groome, managing clerk to the above firm, had
known the prisoner fourteen years, and bad often entrusted
him with sums of money to various amounts; once, in fact,
with 4,0001. He believed him to be a person of the highest
character for honesty and sincerity.
Mr. Lmklater, of Leadenhali•street, City, deposed to
having engaged the prisoner as clerk a few weeks ago, and
that he and his brother had made remarks upon the pri-
soner's deficiencies as a penman. He had chosen him from
above two hundred applicants because of his character. The
prisoner absented himself from the office on the Ist of Sep-
tember, as had been stated.

he jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
guilty, but mem-lin-tended him to mercy, on account of his
distressing circumstances-; ant the prosecutor added his re-
quest to that of the jury.
Sentence, three months' hard labour in Guildford House of
Correction, the first and last fortnight to be solitary.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOIV-STREET.
ROHKERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—Yestei-day, a young
woman, named Caroline Evans, employed as a housemaid at
Buckingham-palace, was placed at the bar for final ettamin-
ation, charged with stealing a qucntity of wearing apparel,
belonging to the clerk of the kitchen in the establis4ment.
It appeared at the last examination that a great coat being
missed by Edmund "kale, cleric of the kitchen, from his
bed-room, he inquired of the prisoner if she had observed any
person in the apartment, and being answered in the nega-
tive, he communicated the circumstance to Inspector Steed,
who is constantly on duty at the palace, and who, being
directed to make search for the property, found in the pri-
soner's trunk a bag containing forty-two duplicates relating
to a quantity of wearing apparel, among which was one re-
lating to the article in question and other property belong-
ing
to the prosecutor. The prisoner was shortly after ques-
tioned at Windsor Castle about the matter, but she gave.d
no other account than that. the entire of the duplicates
not belong to her, and being taken into custody the whole
of the articles were found at different pawnbrokers in Pimlico
aid Westminster, where they were pledged in the name of
Anne Brown a few days previous.
Mr. Wontner said, that it was useless for him to attempt
combating against the evidence, ns he was certain the pri-
soner would be committed for trial on the charge ; but there
were two other cases against the prisoner, entirely uncon-
nected with the palace, upon which the prosecutors seemed
disinclined to proceed; and, as they were vary doubtful, he
submitted that the Court ought not to entertain them.
Mr. TsvvForin said that he was given to understand by the
eel k that the other cases were of a much more serious nature,
if possible, for it could be proved that on a late occasion the
prisoner paid a visit to her sister, living in the service of a
medical gentleman residing at Pentonville, and, during her
temporary absence from the apartment, she contrived to steal
two silver table-spoons, for which the unoffending party had
been discharged from her situation, without a character;
and, not content with committing such a heartless robbery,
she paid another visit to a second sister, living as servant in
the family of a gentleman residing in tha neighbourhood of
Regent's Park, where she also contrived to steal two other
silver table-spoons, and as the property, which could be
traced to the prisoner, could be identified, ho considered that
she ought to be remanded for the purpose.
A gentleman came forward to say, that he had no doubt of
two of 'the spoons being his property; but as his servant,
who was the only person competent to give evidence as to
the manner in which the robbery was committed, was una-
voidably absent, he could ensure her attendance on a future
day, if the prisoner were remanded.
The prisoner, who said nothing in her defence, was ac-
cordingly ordered to be remanded fer a week.

MABYL EB 01VA'.
After the disposal of the night charges, a solicitor, whose
name did not transpire, attended at the Court, and made
known to Mr. Rawlinson the following particulars, with re-
gard to what he looked upon as a swindling transaction :
He stated, that two or three months ago an advertise-
ment appeared in the Globe, which ran thus—" Noblemen
and gentlemen, clergymen, ;officers on full• pay with good
expectations, heirs to entailed estates, &c., can be accom-
modated on their personal security :with loans of not less
than 100/., or more than 5,0001. Address, p.p., in Writing
only, to Messrs. Young, 69, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-
square. No Personal application whatever will be at-
tended to."
Applicant set forth that the advertisement in question
attracted the notice of a clergyman in Yorkshire, whose
name he should not wish to mention, and that he applied
for a loan of one hundred pounds. At length, after various
letters which had passed to and fro as to his respectability,
and the certainty of re-payment, he accepted a bill at three
months' date for 1501., and he returned the same, addressed
to Messrs. Young and Co. The applicant said that the money
460 not been forthcoming, and that his client was of opinion
that his a cceptance had been ne„o-otiatecl, as he had not re-
ceived a single sixpence from the party to whom he sent it.
From the ingniries which he (applicant) had made, he had
reason to Auppeee that the adyertner4 were ant of swindlers,
