PREPARATIONS FOR SMITHFIELD.

A contemporary (the Examiner) humanely oh-
sel ves t hat the anxiety lately manifested by the Duke
of Wellington respecting the price of coals in the
metropolis is not without a cause.
It appear', at first blush meritorious in these Le-
gislators to lend their assistance to reduce any un-
necessary charge or unfair profit on an article of such
moment to the manufacturer and vital importance
to the poor as fuel, but we apprehend that a motive
less respectable will be assigned for their zeal in this
province of public economy.
The truth is, that this anxiety has reference to
the approaching ascendancy of Popery. It is natu-
rally and necessarily foreseen that the burning of
Protestants, which will commence in a day or two,
must be a serious charge at the present high pried
of fuel, and will tend to raise the cost of coals to
sum inconvenient even to ducal incomes. With
this view, therefore, Ministers are casting about to
reduce the taxes on importation of combustibles into
the port of London. It is remarked, that the
Duke's familiarity with prices at the pit's I mouth S
by no means surprising, considering that he noW
receives all his instructions direct from the gentle.,
man who has the management of the great bottom.
less it itself.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.

There was a good supply of Foreign Wheat last week; but
very little English or Insh Corn, and not much Flour coastwise.
I Superfine samples of English Wheat are so scarce, that the mil.
lers are obliged to give for such an advance of le. to 2s. per quar-
ter; but all Other descriptions meet a slow sale at the same terms
as quoted on this day se'nnight. Barley for malting fully indin.
tains the terms of last Monday : other sorts are very dull in sale.
Beans and Pease of fine quality have rather improved in value.
Oats are not plentiful ; but there has not been much demand to.
day, and they may be quoted much the same as last week. There
is a moderate sale for Flour, at no alteration in prices.

GUILDHALL.

TRICK or HORSE-DEALERS.—WiIIiam Brown, one
of the Smithfield horse-dealers, was brought before Sir C.
S. IirNTER, on Saturday, charged with defrauding Wm.
Denyard, a potatoe-dealer, in Speldhurst•street, Burton-
crescent, of six pounds.
The complainant went to Smithfield horse-fair on Fri-
day se'nnight, and bargained with the prisoner for a good-
looking horse, for which he consented to take nine pounds.
Complainant deposited 305., and on the following evening
met the prisoner at the Ram Inn, Smithfield, and gave him
41. 10s. more. The prisoner then told him he was a poor
man, and he should be sorry to take him in, and he would
therefore confess that the horse in question was a bull (a
roarer)—Complainant would find he could not have fallen
into the hands of a more honest horse-dealer in that
market. He would keep this bull, and let the complainant
have the choice of two good ones the following market
day. Complainant congratulated himself on his escape,
and having taken Brown's address, went home quite satis-
fied. But some misgivings arose in his mind, and he set
off to the place where the prisoner said he resided, and
finding he was not known there, he gave Lim into custody
the first time he met with him again.
Branscomb, the officer, said this was a trick daily prac-
tised in Smithfield. A dealer having a screw (unsound
horse), employs an agent to sell, and having found a cus-
tomer, the agent prefers taking a part to the whole price,
professing that the buyer shall have the animal on trial for
a week. Then the owner appears and locks the horse up
in a stable, pretending to be dissatisfied with the conduct
of his agent, and demanding the immediate payment of the
whole sum, or some sureties for the return of the horse, or
payment at the expiration of the week. The buyer• may
be a very honest man, but he is a stranger, and cannot ex-
pect credit. While the buyer, who commonly prefers a
week's trial, is fetching his friends, the horse is removed,
and the customer is told upon his return, that the animal
is unsound, and he shall have an infinitely better one next
day. Having obtained the buyer's consent to waive the
purchase, the trick is complete—he is put off with excuses
from time to time—gets neither a horse nor his money—
and can obtain no redress but by an action at law, against
a man of no property.
The prisoner, in his defence, said Denyard had agreed
to take 41. and a few shillings, and he was willing to pay
him, but he could not obtain the money if he were not set
at large. He was not aware the horse was unsound till
after the bargain was made.

Denyard admitting he had agreed to take 41. in full of
all demands,

Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER told the prisoner he would re-
mand him till Tuesday, to consider whether he could be in-
dicted for fraud ; but if he paid the V. in the interim he
should be discharged.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE MARKET—March 03.
We had a larger supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day than
for some weeks, with some coasting and foreign arrivals and sales
were heavy to-day at a decline of 2s. on the fine and as. per
quarter on inferior samples. The show of Oats was small, with
a demand for seed, and sales ready at a trifle higher. Barley of
the best quality goes off slowly, but the interior parcels in no
demand. Fine Malt fair sale. Only the best Dantzic Rye selling.
Grey Peas inquired after. In White Pens or Beans little doing.

Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a fire
broke out in the house of Mr. SEatoN, the Hoop and
Grapes, Cross.strcet, Hatton. garden, which raged for some
time with great fury. It originated in the lower part of
the house, and is supposed to have been caused by the
bursting of the gas-pipe. By the timely arrival of the
engines, and the exertions of the firemen, however, the
fire was prevented from spreading to the adjoining pre-
mises, but Mr. SEMON'S house was completely gutted
from top to bottom. The inmates narrowly escaped with
their lives, Mr. Sxmois- without his clothes, being obliged
to borrow A pair of trousers from a friend. He was hut
slightly insured, and has lately laid out a considerable sum
in repairs.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET'.—March 28.

The depressed state of the manufactories in this district com-
pletely paralizes every other description of business here. The
temporary rise last Saturday scarcely lived that day out ; for
during the present week most articles have been offered on the
same terms that were current a fortnight ago. The attendance
of country dealers was exceedingly small to this day's market,
and the transactions have been so very trifling, that it is difficult
to make out a price current. Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Pease
are all dull, and a shade cheaper. Fine dry New Beans are Is.
per quarter dearer. Malt as last noted. Flour is Is. per sack
cheaper, and. Oatmeal witkout variation.

(FROM THE TIMES.)

The last shift of the Cumberland faction is in no
small degree characteristic ; for it is extravagant,
l►dicrous, impudent, hypocritical, and knavish, be-
ing actually an attempt to poison the King of Eng-
land's mind with apprehension of a plot, which they
ascribe to the Duke of Wellington, for expelling the
present Royal Family from the kingdom, and
seizing on the vacant throne We have thus
plucked nut the heart of their profligate mystery,
and shown I he world what a crew of factious block-
heads will dare to insinuate against the most eminent
subjects of the realm, flattering themselves that the
affected pomp of inuendoes and dark menaces will
add something like zest to their miserable calum-
nies, and pique the curiosity of the vulgar to inquire
into what, if stated in plain terms, would move no-
thing but astonishment at its transcendent folly.—
The crown to which the Duke of Wellington ha,:
aspired, is already planted on his temples by the
muse of history—" arid it will wear well, foe it has
been dearly earned."

From the Parliamentary returns it appears that
the gross sums raised in England and Wales under
the general head of poor-rates during the year 1828,
amounted to 7,715,0001., of which 1,370,000/. was
for other purposes than the relief of the poor, and
6,300,000/. expended in various ways for that ob-
ject. There is an avei age diminution of expense, as
compared with the year preceding, of about two per
cent. throughout the country, which is at least a
satisfactory circumstance, considering the increased
price of corn. The average diminution, however,
has admitted of an actual augmentation in the
charges for, and symptoms of, pauperism, throughout
certain counties. In Middlesex, for instance, there
has been an increase of eight per cent.
London, England, 1829-03-30

(FROM THE MORNING HERALD.)

It appears by the proceedings of the Civic Par-
liament that one of its members has opened upon
us all the phials of his wrath for the share we have
had in calling the public attention to the snug job
which the Civic Body was so quietly stealing
through Parliament, whereby an attempt is making
to tax the chief article of fuel (one of the main ne-
cessaries of life in a cold climate like our's), for the
purpose of making the necessary approaches to the
new London Bridge. We want no better proof of
such a measure as this being wrong than the snug-
ness and the silence with which it has been con-
cocted, and was on the eve of being brought to
maturity ; nor can we wonder that the rage which
vents itself at our exposure of the matter should
be equalled by the disappointment of which we
have been knowingly, wilfully, and, we trust, hap-
pily, the authors. We have said, and we say it again,
that if the Civic Body meant what was fair and ho-
nest—if they did not mean to smuggle through Par-
liament a project which would not bear the light—
they were bound to have made known their inten-
tions through every possible channel.—We contend,
too, that they were bound to do more than that, and
that it was imperative upon them, to show that
no other means could be found to effect their object
and, above all, to shoW what are the extent and re-
sources of that very Bridgehouse Estate, which
there are persons who declare would, if it had been
properly managed, been more than adequate for all
the purposes of the new bridge, and its approaches.
And why, of all things in the world, should coals be
fixed upon as the chosen article of Civic taxation ?
Why, as Lord Londonderry has very aptly said, not
tax the wine and the turtle ? or, if they would
not afford revenue enough, why should not a
small general tonnage be put on, in preference
to singling out an article, the most unfit to be
made all object of taxation at any time ? But
the truth is that the Civic Body have some-
thing to do with this same article of coals al-
ready. The tax which they wish to perpetuate ex-
pires in about eight years' time; and has alluded,
and will afford, while it lasts, some nice snug cor-
porate pickings, the less of which cannot be viewed
without dismay. Besides this, the Civic Body
have not a little to do with that precious part of •
our coal system called metering.

Bolton, was robbed of some wearing apparel and jewellery,
149 sovereigns, and one guinea, and 351. in Bank of Eng-
land notes, together with a watch and a quantity of gown
pieces and silks. The person suspected is a soldier of the
name of John Rogers, who was employed as attendant on

MURDERS IN EDINBURGII.--The horrible
atrocities of the Edinburgh murderers now before the
radie, induce me to mention a circumstance that may he
. . reeetlection of many of your readers, aid front which
it may tee eeeti that the 'dreadful vrretchee, Hare and
Burke, may have extended their eystem of blood even to
the shores of Englend. About two years ago a respectable
young man, an apprentice to an eminent surgeon of • the
name of Greenhow, resident at North Shields, dieappenred
in the most unaccountable manner; and the most strenuone
exertions to discover the cause of his disappearance, or
traces of his body, were totally unsucceeeful. Dr. Green-
7psircekntipceerstoon.ruake up

the morning, to attend a person ill, at a house not more
and without any

if I recollect right,
tvitlrout even his
man left the surgery,
property what-
ever upon him. The only thing front that moment that
is known of the poor youth is, that he delivered the medi-
cine. He never returned to Dr. Greenhow's, and the next
day, front an examination of all the circumstances of the
youth's disappearance, the affrighted inhabitants came to
hat, and in his slippers,
the appalling conclusion, that he must have been murdered
for the ;take of his body ! Unremitting exertions were
made to discover the wretches guilty of the frightful crime,
end rewards were offered, bat, as far as I knew, to this
time, without any light being thrown on the mystery.—
The consternation of. the inhabitants of North Shields in

C; tiILDH A 1.1.,

SWINDLING,—An elderly man, named C/mr/cs
/Rik, was re-examined on a charge of defrauding a
poor widow of several pigs, of the value of 361.;
and also defrauding Mr. Johnson, a farmer, at High-
gate, of three cows.
The widow, Mrs. Collin, of Salamanca-place;
Lambeth, stated, that she took some of the pigs in
a cart to Eyre-street, Leather-lane, where the pri-
soner rasided, oa the 4th of October, and left them
in the street in charge of her lad, while she went
into the prisoner's house to settle the bargain with
him, intending to take care she received the cash
before she parted with her property. She was
amused, however, by White, while a confederate
went out, told the lad the pigs had been settled for,
and drove them away. White proposed to pay her
with a bill, but she had refused it steadily till she
heard the pigs were gone, when, finding she was
not likely to get anything else, she consented to
take the bill, which was for sixteen pounds, payable
four days after date. This was dishonoured when
due, and had never been paid. About three weeks
after, White and a confederate called on her to buy
the rest of her pigs, promising to pay her for the
first lot as well as the present. She accompanied
them to some house, driving the pigs before her,
and leaving them outside the kitchen window in
full view (determined not to be tricked again ;) but
the parties again proposing to pay her with a bill,
and pressing her a great deal about it, her attention
was at length distracted front the window, the pigs
were driven out of the street unobserved by her,
and she was reduced to the same strait as before—
either to take a 201. bill, or nothing. She agreed
to take the bill, which, as before, was dishonoured,
and had not been paid; her landlord distrained her
goods, and she was entirely ruined.
In the other case, the complainant believing the
prisoner's representation, that he was an extensive
cow-keeper in Great Garden-street, Whitechapel,
took his bill in payment for three cows, Value 681.,
without making any previous inquiry into the pri-
soner's circumstances. When the bill became due,
he could not be found.

There were now other complaints of attempting
to get fraudulent possession of some sheep ; of de-
frauding a farmer at Sutton of a horse, valua 141.,
which he had exposed for sale at Croydon Fair ; and
of cheating a gentleman of the Corn Exchange of
301. worth of grain ; but none of these were formally
entered into, having occurred out of the jurisdiction
of the Alderman. The corn dealer said he had
traced the prisoner from one part of the town to
another, and had found he had every where obtained
the reputation of being a swindler.
Mr. Alderman VENABLEs remanded the prisoner
till Tuesday, in the expectation .that other charges
would be preferred against him.

TIE LATI FAILU tl.

The black catalogue of Stephenson's misdeed. is
still, it seems, incomplete, though it is probable
that what is undiscovered stands no higher im the
scale of moral turpitude than what is already known,
His waste of money has been so lavish and extraor-
dinary, that it is only to be accounted for by the
supposition that it was disposed of at the gaining-
table : and ;hie., indeed, is DOW generally believed
to have been the case. Among his nefarious modes I.
of raising money, some Very remarkable frauds,
practised ou the customers of the house, hare
come to liAt. One of these, it is probable,
will in a short time be more fully detailed in
a court of law. The outline of the case is this :
A gentleman keeping cash at the house was ap-
plied to by Stephenson to lend him his promis-
sory note for 8,0001. on some pretence or other.
The request was complied with on the assurance
that it should be provided for when due; and
Stephenson, exhibiting the note to his partners as
the result of a bona fide transaction of business be-
tween them, obtained that sum for his own private
account. At the period when the note had arrived
at maturity, Stephenson assured the gentleman who
accommodated him with the loan of it, that it had
been cancelled in the regular form, and he there-
fore thought no more about it. It now turns out
that this note is still io existence, and that Stephen-
son, after availing himself of it for its first and regu-
lar use, has deposited it with a third party as secu-
rity for a further advance of money. This party
applies to the original granter of the note for pay-
ment, which is resisted on two grounds—first, be-
cause he had the assurance of Stephenson that it was
paid ; and next, because it is deemed irregular to
take a note of hand which is over due as a security
for the payment of money.
No expedient where raising money was in question
seems to have been too low for Stephenson's adop-
tion. A number of bills, it is said, are at present in
circulation, drawn upon Stephenson by some day-
labourer, or fellow altogether destitute of property,
which, with a name upon it so well known, hare
been readily discounted, and the amount, without
doubt, has passed into Stephenson's hands. Of
these bills not a shilling of course will be paid.—

THE CELEBRATED MRS. COORS.--It will be re-
' collected that Mrs. Cooke, alias Stamp, alias Saun-
ders, alias Sutton, the wife of the person who was
for yers " on the town" under the names of the
Hon. James Stamp Sutton Cooke, and, like her,
" lived on his wits" or, more correctly speaking, by
duping the credulous part of the community, was
convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions about four
months ago for stealing a pianoforte, the property of
a Mr. Rathmacher, and that she was sentenced to
transportation for seven years for the ohnce. Yes-
terday a Gentleman came before Sir RICHARD BIR-
ME, and asked that Magistrate whether he was
aware that in consequence of the influence of a cer-
tain Catholic Nobleman in behalf of Mrs. Cooke,
with Mr. Peel, her sentence was not to be carried
into effect, but she was to be banished to one of the
West India Islands (her native place), where her
father, who was a coffee-planter, died some years
ago and left her considerable property ?
Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he knew nothing what-
ever of the sentence of Mrs. Cooke having been
commuted.

The Gentleman said, that a Mr. Cubit, who had
married assister of Mrs. Cooke's late husband, had
called upon him, and informed him that Mrs, Cooke
was about to no to the West ladies, and was about
to apply" to the Chancellor to allow her to take her
two children with her, which she had by the late
Stamp Sutton Cooke.
Sir R. BIRNIE inquired if Stamp Sutton Cooke
was dead ?—The gentleman replied that he died in
the gaily part of the last week in the Marshalsea
Prison, and was buried only t (VO days ago.
Sir R. BIRNIE told the Gentleman,that he might
learn of Mr. Capper, at the Secretary of State's
Office, if t}ere was any truth in the statement Mr.
Cubit made, and the gentleman withdrew.

MA RYLEBONE.

A countryman named Burnham was charged
with stealing an immense number of horses' tails
and manes. It appeared that the farmers in the
counties of Herts, Bucks, and Middlesex, have suf-
fered extensively by the above novel species of de-
predation ; and on Sunday night, the manes and
tails of five horses belonging to Mr. Harwood, a
farmer at Bevingdeau, Hemel Hempstead, were cut
off whilst the animals were in the stables ; and a
gentleman in the neighbourhood also lost the tails
of all his horses about the same period. The
prisoner was taken into custody on Monday morn-
ing, in Lisson-grove, by Webster, an officer, with
nine tails in his possession, which he could not ac-
count for, five of which were identified by Mr.
Harwood as his property. The prisoner was com-
mitted for trial.

UNION-HALL

Mr. Chris111)&1. Leach, a coal dealer, of Pros-
pect-place, Lambeth, was summonud for haring ten
sacks deficient in length in his possession, for the
delivery of coals.
Mr. Harmer attended for the defendant.

A labouring meter proved that he seized the
sacks on the defendant's cart, on the wharf of
Messrs. Cole, Childs, and Co., when they were
about to be filled from the craft. Upon the case
being investigated, it turned out that the defendant
had purchased five rooms of coals at the wharf, and
was about to remove the coals in his own sacks,
not to a customer's house, but to his own premises ;
and it was contended that the case did not come
within the meaning and intention of the Statute.
Mr. SWABEY thought that a coal dealer had a
right to remove coals from a wharf to his own pre-
mises in any way he thought proper, and dismissed
the information.

On Tuesday night, a woman walking down
Causeyeide, had a plaster suddenly clapped on her face by
an unseen hand, which covered her mouth from ear to ear.
Full of the horrors of resurrectionism, the woman was so
stupified that she had not power nor presence of mind to
pull it off, but ran into a neighbouring shop in a state of
agitation not to be described. The shnpman kindly as-
sisted in ridding her of the cause of her alarm, which, on
examination, she found to be a card she had despatched
that forenoon to one of her former customers, demanding
instant payment of two pounds of salt, Rohl to him in
1825, and threatening prosecution in default of partnent.
This is somewhat a novel way of stopping the mouth den
importunate creditor, but much niore mischievous than
humorous.—Paisley Advertiser.

Last week a poor weaver in Manchester,
named David Lindsay, residing in a small court off Giles-
street, Ancoats-lane, fell heir to an estate of about 300,0001.
by the decere". of an uncle, Colonel Lindsay of the Mount,
near Cupar, Fife, in Scotland. When the letter arrived,
announcing this windfall to David, and ench'sing 150/. to
defray the expenses of his journey with his wife and three
children to his country seat, he was sitting at his hreal_•f.:st
of butterlesa bread and sugarless coffee. The demand of
the postman, 4s. 9d., completely stunned David, for his
whole stock in his coffers, alias his breeches pocket, was
Qs. • The letter would have been returned to the post-
office but for the arrival of a neighbour, who volunteered,
after feeling that the letter contained summit,' to assist
David in raising the wind. David's first question, after
reading the letter, was, " What the d-1 can I do wi'
this Biller ?" He has however, we understand, submitted
to his fate, and on Saturday week he set out on his journey
to the north, and drubtlesa by this time David Lindsay, of
Giles •court, Ancoats-lane, weaver, has altered his designa-
tion to David Lindsay, Esq., of Mount, near Cupar, Fife.—

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Yestetday Jem Ward took his benefit at the Tennis
Court, and the esteem in which he is held may best be
estimated by the fact that the house was crowded to in-
convenience. To his friends this must bc as gratifing as
to himself it will be profitable; for poor Jem, with less
noise, has, perhaps, inure deservance than some tcho have
been fortunate enough to so. we their trumpeters. His
unassuming quiet disposition has been a greater hindrance
to him in tl:e "March of prosperity " than any other cir-
cumstance; and to compare consequences, would almost
persuade thinking persons to pray to be endowed with a
stock inexhaustible of unblushing impudent—; for Modest
merit is but a poor recommendation "as times go."
