SURREY SESSIONS, MARCH S.

John Matthews, aged 14, and Henry Eglington, aged
23, were indicted for robbing their employer, Mr. Mat•
thews, of Blackfriar's-road, of a quantify of boots and
shoes to the amount of 20001. and William Jones, Fre-
derick Stannard, and John Henry, were indicted as re-
ceivers of the property. Matthews, the prisoner, was
the prosecutor's nephew, and Eglington was his shop-
,man, the other three prisoners were fashionably dressed
young men ; and appeared to be equally respectable.
Jones and Stannard were said to belong to the Coburg
Theatre; and Henry, who wore mustachios, had been
engaged in a merchant's office in Cornhill. It appeared
that Matthews having become acquainted with Jones,
Stannard, and Henry, supplied them with boots and
shoes, sometimes in great quantities, and Matthews re-
ceived from them either money, some article of wearing
apparel, or fire-works. They were found guilty, and
the Chairman, in a very impressive address, sentenced
Eglington and Henry to seven years transportation ;
and Matthews, Jones, and Stannard, to fourteen years'
transportation. The trial occupied from ten in the
morning, until five in the afternoon, and excited the
greatest interest in a crowded Court.

Friday, a deputation of the Merchants connec:ed
with the Cape of Good Hope, waited upon the Caast-
ciu.x.oa of the EXCIIIIQUIR respecting the duties on
Cape wine. In the reduction of wines generally from
71. 7d. to 4s. per gallon, wine from the Cape was en-
tirely overlooked. As it forms the return payment of
two-thirds of the exports, the article is of the first im-
portance to that Colony, and has lately averaged eight
thOusand pipes annually. The present duty on Cape
wine is 2s. 6d.br 21. 7d. per gallon, and the merchants
pray for a reduction, on the scale of that of the other
ditties. The wine from the Cape cannot, they contend,
without this reduction, stand the competition with Por-
tugal and other wines. The deputation was favourably
received, and informed, that the representation would
be immediately taken into the. serious consideration of
Government.

d's have rather improved Is prices. Barley of good quality as Is.

at last quotadeas. Buns that are dry meet a free sale, but damp
samples sell very heavily. Bening and Grey Peas are unaltered in
