MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Business generally appears still unsettled, and probably will
remain so until the new plans are decided one way or the other.
The produce and stock markets are comparatively deserted ;
nevertheless the prices of English securities remain, as on Sa-
turday, with a firm appearance, Consols being 893 I for
Money, and 89i for the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per
Cents., 99/ to 994 ; India Bonds, 9to 11 ; and Exchequer
Bills, 29 to 31 premium.
The Foreign Stocks have suffered a decline, although no
tales have been made. Mexican is quoted 41 to 414 ; Colum-
bian, 26 to 264 ; Portuguese, Five per Cents., 344 to 34/ ;
Spanish, 243 to 24i. The price of Dutch Two and a Half per
Cents., 524 to 523 ; the Five per Cents., 10:;/ to 1031.
Railway Shares also are flat, and prices not so good ; how-
ever, scarcely anything has been done. York and North Mid-
land, New, 32/ ; North Midland, 71 ; Birmingham, 176 to
177 ; Great Western, 91 to 91/ ; Brighton, 364; the Loan
Notes, 5%.

The non-arrival of the West India steam-ship is owing to
the conduct of the Governor of the Havana, in refusing to
allow her to proceed on her voyage, unless she comply with
certain arbitrary regulations of the post-office. The authorities
at this place throw every impediment in the way of the last of
these vessels which called there.

By the Garrick packet-ship, intelligence to the 2Sth Febru-
ary has been received from New York. The spring trade was
about to commence, but business was very dull. and stocks of
goods large. For particulars we refer to the American news
in another part of The Sun.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS COURT-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was engaged hearing motions to-day. None of
them were of interest.

POLICE. INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A respectably attired young man, named Thomas Hitchcock,
was brought before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing on the
22d September last two gold watches, value 301., one diamond
pin, value 31. 10s., together with some plate another articles,
value 21., the property of R. Moss, his employer.
Mr. Moss stated that he was a watchmaker, residing at No.
8, Charing-cross. The prisoner was an errand boy of his. On
the 22d September last witness missed the property before
mentioned, and on the same day the prisoner absconded. He
gave information of the robbery to the police, he printed hand-
bills describing the property, and offering a reward for its re •
covery, and he had also advertised it in the Pawnbrokers' Ga-
zette. They had been in search of him, but had seen nothing
of the prisoner until a few days ago, when he was apprehended
at Liverpool. They had also traced the property to different
pawnbrokers, viz., one of the watches with Air. Baylis, a pawn-
broker in the Hampstead-road, and the plate at a pawnbroker's
in Leicester-square.
Police constable A 35, stated the capture of the prisoner at
Liverpool.
In answer to questions from Mr. HALL, _ _

The prisoner stated that he was twenty years of age, his father
and mother were living ; when in the employ of Mr. Moss he
received 3s. a week wages, and board and lodging; he had
been in the service of Mr. Moss about six months, and previous
to that time in the employ of a linendrape: in Oxford-street.
He did not wish to ask the witness any questions; nor had he
anything to urge in his ..defence.
Mr. HALL gave instructions to the officer to take out three
summonses for the different pawnbrokers, as it was necessary
that they should attend.
The prisoner was then remanded till this day fortnight.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
ROBBERY BY ♦ SERVANT.— William Dunford, a middle-
aged man, was fully committed on a charge of robbing his
employers, Messrs. Moore and Co., of Little Earl-street, Seven
Dialsi ironmongers. It appeared that the prisoner had been
in; the employ of the firm for the last nine years, and was
considered to be a very trustworthy servant. Latterly,
however, a deficiency in the stock was discovered, and
circumstances transpircd which attached suspicion to him,
and on searching his lodgings on Saturday night, property
belonging to Messrs. Moore and Co., to the amount of between
51. and 61. was discovered ; the prisoner then ackowledged his
guilt, and supplicated for mercy on account of his wife and
young family. It is supposed that he has for a long while
been carrying on this system of plunder and to a very great
extent.

UNION HA LL-(THIS DAY).
EMBEZZLEAIENT..-- William Baker, clerk in the employ
of Mr. Dixon, coal merchant, was brought up for re-examina-
tion, charged with embezzlement. Mr. Dixon stated, that on
examining the accounts kept by the prisoner, he discovered
that the deficiencies amounted to between 3001. and 4001. He
added that he was not disposed at first to proeeed against the
prisoner, awing to his having a wife and family, but finding the
sum he had embezzled of so large an amount, he, therefore,
considered it his duty to prosecute.
The prisoner, who is a fine young man, fell down in a fit
while at the bar, and was Carried out of court. He was com-
mitted, but will be brought up again on a future day.

WORSHIP-STREET-(THIS DAY)

Jane Franklin, a young woman of very ctre-worn aspect,
was charged with having unlawfully pledged a quantity of
materials for the manufacture of braces, with which she had
been entrusted by her employer, Mr. Arrowthnrn, of Foster-
lane, City.
The prisoner admitted the offence, and said that she was
urged to commit it in consequence of the hapless situation of her
mother, who lay on a sick bed without the means of procuring
medical assistance, or even the common wants of nature.
The prosecutor said he had every reason to believe that her
story was true, and he strongly recommended her to mercy.
The prisoner was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. over and above
the :alue of the property, or to be committed to the House of
Correction for ten days.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of Grain last week were moderate. The
Wheat trade has become txtremely dull, and the quality of the
runs being inferior, to effect sales 3s. to 4s. per qr. less than
last Monday was taken, while the little fine which appeared
nearly obtained last week's terms. Batley, Beans, and Peas
heavy, but not lower. Oats sold rather more freely, and a
little more money was obtained. The Flour trade extremely
dull, and prices 2s. to 3s. per sack lower.
