IN RE GEARING.

The insolvent had carried on business as a general
outfitter in High-street, Wapping. He attributed
his insolvency to the circumstance of having joined
his brother, who passed through this Court also a
short time back, in several accommodation bills. He
had likewise become responsible for him to several
Loan Societies, and upon his insolvency he became
liable for, and was sued upon, all his debts. The
names of about sixty creditors appeared in the sche-
dule, of which ten were secretaries to Loan Societies,
and the amount of debts was upwards of 1,5001.
He now applied to.be liberated upon bail until the
day appointed for his final hearing, which, after a
short examination, was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

A young man, named John Wilson, one of those
scheming vagabonds with whom the Metropolis
abounds, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having defrauded Mr. Tanner, upholsterer, of
the Minories, a tradesman of great simplicity of cha-
racter, of furniture and money. From the com-
plainant's statement, it appeared that the prisoner
called upon him and introduced himself as a military
tailor, who was making clothes for Captain Clarke,
a gentleman of fortune, and that the Captain was
anxious to have a chest of drawers, and a stand, and
as he was a very particular man, it would be neces-
sary to be punctual as well as particular as to the
preparation of the pieces of furniture. The com-
plainant undertook to make the articles, although
Captain Clarke never called to make any selection,
being satisfied with the pattern exhibited by the pri-
soner, who desired that the drawers should be sent as
soon as possible, to a court near Lincoln's Inn-fields.
The complainant managed to get the drawers ready
at the time appointed, and took them to the address,
but no person of the name of Wilson was to be found
anywhere in the neighbourhood. After having
waited at the place between two and three hours, the
complainant and his porter returned home. The pri-
soner soon afterwards called, and said he had made a
mistake about his address, which really was at No.
6, Pear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to which the
drawers must be speedily sent, as Captain Clarke
was very. angry at the delay.' Next morning the
complainant sent two boys with the drawers in a
"truck to the new address, and told his porter to follow
them to see that the drawers were delivered with pro-
per caution. They were accordingly delivered to the
prisoner, who subsequently called at the complainant's
shop, and not only procured the stand but eight shil-
lings to pay for what were called " fittings out." The
prisoner had neither paid for, the articles nor returned
them.

The LORD MAYOR—I suppose Captain Clarke did
not call to pay fOr-the goods ? Complainant—No ;
I never saw Captain. Clarke at all.—(Laughter.) I
was; convinced the. Captain had the articles, for the
prisoner told me he was making military clothes for
the Captain.
• The LORD MA-von,-1. suppose you would not have
'put 'the drawers into the possession of the prisoner, if
'he had not conjured up this Captain Clarke as the
purchaser ? Complainant—No; Certainly not.
The complainant then' stated that he heard no more
of his. drawers or stand 'until some days after, as he was
.;Walking along the Strand, what should he behold at
the door of a shop butthe identical new drawers he
'had; made for Captain Clarke.—,(Laughter.) Well,
he was surprised ' and upon gOing inside to speak to
ttieishOpkeeperhiii shOuld'he see but his new stand,
which he thought was safe along with the drawers '

the custody of Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) So he
asked the shopkeeper of whom the things had been
purchased, and. the answer 6oriViriad him that the per-
son who had sold them was the prisoner and not Capt.
Clarke.—(Great laughter.)
Mr. Flower, who attended for the prisoner, asked
the ecnnplAinant whether it was not the tact that he
gave the prisoner a fortnight to pay the amount of the
bill ?.---.The complainant, who spoke all through the
examination Of Captain Clarke as if he believed the
Captain Wag nct a creature of the prisoner's imagina-
tion, said the prisoner told him the moment the regi-
mentals were paid for, which would be in a week, the
money should be forthcoming.
Mr. Flower submitted that, although there was
evidently sinister dealing upon the part of the pri-
soner, yet .the.case was clearly one of credit.
The 'Louri"M'Ayon said he would not allow a fellow
like the prisOner to, slip through his hands, because a
poor tradesman happened to be credulous.
Hawkins, the porter employed by the complainant
to follow, the boy who conveyed the drawers to the
prisoner's residence in Bear- lane, said that when he
observed the prisoner had no shop he mentioned his
surprise at the fact, upon which the prisoner said he
did his business, of which he had a great deal, in the
private way.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Did your master say any-
thing to you about the payment for the drawers ?
Hawkins—No, not a word. The prisoner took the
drawers into the houSe, and shut the door.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Complainant, to whom did you
look for payment ? Complainant—l expected to re-
ceive the money through the prisoner's hands from
Capt. Clarke.-7-(Laughter.) I have since ascertained
that the prisoirer is not a tailor at all, but a cabinet-;
maker, so that he never received any order to make
regimentals for-Capt. Clarke at all.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Priest, of .No. 370, Strand, stated that the pri-
soner, whom he had seen frequently pass his shop, and
whom he believed to- be a cabinet-maker, called upon
him about a Week before 'they had any dealings together,
and asked hitn whether he purchased drawers, stating
to him at the same tune, that he_ had a chest at No. 6,
Bear-lane, and wished him to call and look at it.
Witness, who never for a moment suspected the inte-
grity of the prisoner, called after another application,
and-saw the drawers and stand; and offered 51. for
them, which the prisoner accepted.
The complainant said the money he was to have
received from Capt. Clarke was 61. 12s. for the articles.
The Loan MAroa said there was not the :lightest
imputation against Mr. Priest; but the prisoner was
evidently one of the swindlers who very ingeniously
marked - the - diStinctions bet Ween - a robbery and a
roguish debt. His Lordship wished to know whe,
ther the young gentleman at the bar wished to say
anything ?
Mr. Flower—No, my Lord ; he has no desire to
say any thing.
The Loki) MA-ronWe will see what a Jury will
say to the case.' I think there is matter for a Jury.
Mr. Hobler—The question is whether he has not
obtained the goods and the money under false pre-
tences. He creates this Captain Clarke, and upon
that foundation he builds antic rest.
Mr. Flower—After all, he tells a mere lie, and
and through that lie he gains credit. That is done
every day. Ido not at all attempt to deny or ques-
tion the. criminality of his conduct; but to send him
for trial will' be only to put the county to needless
expense:
The Loan MAYOR thought the experiment by no
means an iinpreper or an extravagant one; and he
should hold the prisoner to bail in the sum of 1001.
and oblige him to find two sureties for 50/. each, to
appear at the Central Criminal Court.
Prisoner—My Lord, I shall be able to get the mo..
ney to pay Mr. Turner.
The LORD MAYOR—You must give me 24 hours
notice of bail.
Prisoner—Please your Lordship, I shall be able to
pay the gentleman before Monday the money I owe
him.

The Loanlayoft—You must get him the price
of the articles you got possession of. I dare say
you will be able to get the money from Captain
Clarke without taking home the regimentals to him.
(Laugh te r.)
The prisoner was then sent back to prison.
BOW-STREET.

Margaret Angus,' Alexander Johnson, and Muth
Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing
eight 5E notes, the property o: Thomas Fairweather.
Mr. Robinson, the attorney, conducted the pro-
secution.

Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser
in the Navy=, and lived at Market Weighton,
Yorkshire. On the 20th of August last he was
lodging at Miss Shepherd's, No. 7, Arundel-street,
Strand, where the female prisoner was a servant.
On the 19th of August he placed eight 51. notes
in a portinanteau in his bedroom, leaving
the key in the room. The female prisoner saw him
deposit the notes in his portmanteau. On the morn-
ing of the 21st, witness went to his portmanteau and
found that his money was gone. The female prisoner
also had absconded.
Miss Robina Sheppard, of No. 7, Arundel-street,
deposed' that the' female prisoner entered her service
on the 6th August. She stated to witness at
that time that sh had come up frem Manchester
with two men bathed Johnson and Steele ; and that
she was to meet them on the next day at three o'clock
on Waterloo-bridge. On that day accordingly she
went out, and witness saw her speaking- to the two
few minutes to buy a collar. Wit-
other prisoners. On the 20th August she asked to go
out again for a
ness gave her permission to go, and she never returned.
She had previously stated to witness that she had no
money whatever.
Sarah Hudson kept a coffee-shop at 54, Fore-
street, Limehouse. The prisoners, Johnson and Steele,
lodged-with witness in the early part of August. On
the 20th August the- female prisoner came to witness's
house. She aslied witness to go and buy a bonnet
and cap for her. Witness did so, and in payment
for them she tendered a 51. note. Witness went
to another shop with her, where she changed another
Si. note. , _

William White, shopman to Cornelius Ifelginius
Ta.mbs, of Shadwell, proved that on the evening of
the 20th of, August, the three prisoners came to his
master's shop, when the female purchased three black
silk handkerchiefs and three pairs of stockings. She
tendered a 51. note in payment.
All these notes, which were produced, were Men-
tified as being the same as those lost by Mr. Fair-
weather.

Several other witnesses were called, who con-
nected the prisoners together in a variety of private
transactions.
Sergeant Wegtern proved taking the prisoners into
custody—Steele, in Renfrewshire, Scotland ; John-
son, in London ; and Margaret Angus, in Derby ;
and a letter from Steele to Johnson, indicating a
knowledge of the transaction, was put in and proved
to be in his handwriting.
Mr. TIV r FORD committed the prisoners to take their
trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Parr was brought before Mr. Long for
an aggravated assault upon Lucy Meek.
Complainant said that about five o'clock last night,
she went with a.female friend of hers to the Robin

Hood public-h(Te, Somers-town, where her friend's
husband was to be found. Prisoner was 'there, and
attempted to pull her about, which she resisted. He
then struck her a severe blow upon the face, which
knocked her down ; while down, he struck her several
times. Four respectable 'witnesses corroborated the
above statement in its most aggravated particulars.
Mr. LONG characterised this as a most brutal and

unmanly assault, and he should therefore impose the
full penalty of 51., or two months in the House of
Correction.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Thomas Jefferson, a young sailor, was brought up
before Mr. I3ioughton, charged- with having been
found drunk and disorderly in the streets.

Sunday last. He received 151., all of which he has
given up to a young girl, a friend of his, that she
might take care of it for him.

The attention of the public having been drawn to
the late Custom-house frauds, an-. 1 the: preliminary
and ex parte investigation now in progress at the
Custom-house, we, have the most ample,authority fer
stating that it is the firm determination of Govern-
ment to institute a most impartial and searching in-
quiry, to be conducted by. Commissioners appointed
by the Crown, immediately. after the' present dis-
closures are concluded, ands that the strictest justice
and impartiality shall be'll4llt Out,:bt,all.coneernqi in
the frauds, or alleged to have participated in their
commission.

TRADE of ENGLAND and FRANCE.
We find the following in the Journal du Havre, on
the comparative rgtorns of the mercantile trade of
England and

"In 1841, the English ports received or dispatched
42,719 vessels, measuring 7,525,585 tons. There had
been, in 1840, 42,435 vessels, and 7,497,833 tong.
This increase is inconsiderable, but it must be stated
that in the preceding year the augmentation amounted
to 882,000 tons. The tonnage of the vessels leaving
or entering the ports of France, in 1840, was
2,896,000 tons. In 1839, the amount was 2,930,000
tons, showing, it is true, only a small falling
off; but still it was a falling off. Up to this
point, putting aside the enormous numerical in-
feriority of our tonnage, the comparison is but
of little importance; but becomes eminently discour-
aging, when the parts which the shipping of both
countries have taken respectively in the general move-
ment are considered. In England, out of 7,525,585
tons, English vessels transported 5,525,429, giving a
proportion of 74 to 26, or about three-fourths. In.
France, out of 2,696,000 tons, our vessels took only
1,211,000 tons, or a proportion of 42 to 58, or a little
more than two-fifths. Thus, whilst for England the
results of the present year give the same returns,
showing that if the movement of the national naviga-
tion has not progressed, it has not at least retrograded,
in France, the same examination shows that, in the
space of a year only, foreign shipping has taken from
us a twenty-fifth part of the carrying trade. In 1841,
the coasting trade of England gave the large total of
22,184,047 tons. In France, in 1840, the quantity
was only 2,314,735 tons, not much more than the
tenth part. The average burden of vessels employed
in the English coasting trade is about 80 tons, whilst
in France it only amounts to 27 tons. The whole of
the merchant vessels of England amounted in 1840 t',
28,692, measuring 3,311,528 tons. France, at the
same period, possessed 15,600 vessels, the tonnage of
which did not exceed 602,600 tons. A remark which
these figures suggest, and which is not without inte-
rest, is that whilst the number of our vessels is equal
to nearly the half of those possessed by Great _Bri-
tain, the amount of their tonnage scarcely reaches a
fifth part."

THE mmuceas.—(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCfIANGE.
The week's arrivals were small of Corn and good of
Flour. The Wheat trade continued in a dull state.
In othet Grain no variation. The Flour trade was
limited at last quotations.
SMITHFIELD.
The number of Cattle was small, the trade gene-
rally heavy, and prices declined for Beef, Mutton,
Veal, and Lamb. Prime small Pork was in demand.

COLONIAL MARKET.
There was not much business done, and prices were
scarcely varied. Of B. P. Sugar about 400 hhds.
were sold, and prices are unaltered. At the public
sale of Mauritius scarcely any business was done.
One parcel of Bengal went off heavily at re-
duced rates for the low and soft kinds. Foreign
Sugar in demand, and prices were firm. Coffee dull,
and prices still depressed. Cocoa dull at reduced
rates. Rice not much inquired after. Cotton met a
more ready sale.

(From the London New Price Current of Oetober 14.)
SUGAR.—There has been more activity in the market
for West India Muscovadoes Sugar this week, and mer-
chants have been less desirous to realise; for yellow de-
scriptions the demand has been good, and the market has
been nearly cleared of such at prices fully equal to those
of last Friday, indeed the supply has been barely ample
for the wants of the trade ; grey sorts have been in
steady request, and brown have secured a fair sale at the
former currency.
To-day there was an increased demand for British
Plantation Sugar, and merchants displayed firmness.
Yellow descf2ptions were in brisk request, and the
supply at market being short, buyers ‘i ere compelled to
pay an advance (3:: Hest Friday's rates of 6d per cwt. ;
brown and grey kinds met a good sale at full prices.
The total purchases for the week ,500 hhds and trs,

grocery 73s to 74s per cwt. In other articles no varia-
tion.

MAURITIUS.—The demand has been excellent for
yellow descriptions, which have commanded full rates ;
brown sorts have been in good request—fine yellow at

buyers of Bengal, and 2,000 bags 100 boxes at auction
were sold at 6d per cwt advance ; low dingy white went

MOLASSEE3.—Previous rates hare been sustained for
West India. St. Vincent's and St. Kitt's have been sold
at 26s for fair, and fine Antigua at 30s.
COFFEE.—lmporters of West India have displayed
more firmness this week. and having supplied the market
sparingly, have prevented any further decline in prices.
This afternoon the demand was brisk for Ceylon Coffee,
and prices further advanced : sales of good ord made at
64s to 64s 6d, all the parcels offering of this sort have
been cleared off the market, and it is now difficult to buy
at the latter rate.

The only parcel offered at auction Os afternoon was
30 casks Jamaica, which sold at very full rates ; good

West India, and 60 bags 24 brls at auction were sold at
32s to 34s for low and mid red Trinidad.

TEA.--In the Tea market mach heaviness has pre-
vailed since our last report ; importers are still desirous
to realise, and having again brought forward large
parcels, and much greater than the demand, has pro-
duced a further decline in the value of nearly every de-
scription. The public sales which commenced yesterday
were but thinly attended; the quantity offered was large,
amounting to 44,368 pkgs.
To-day merchants submitting to a further reduction
at the public sales of per lb. for Congon, and 2d for
Pouceong tempted the trade to Operate more freely, and
the proportion sold was larger than yesterday, but the
biddiugs ;Irv; th., laiacket, ints
„still a Ault
appearance ; in the value of green Tea there was no far-
t,her change. Of 30,660 packages passed the sale to
