afraid there was something unfair going forward;
she thought she was doing the best to prevent any
injury arising from it to herself, by taking the pro-
perty to those it belonged to.—Shergold, an officer of
St. George's, said, that the complainant bad kept a
brothel a long time—had been imprisoned for as-
saulting Mrs. White, and had threatened to take
away her life. On the night the robbery was stated
by Mrs. Wire to have been committed, ,Mrs. White
had numbers of persons to prove she was at home.
And the man that brought the bundle to Mrs.Wbite's
house, is a man who lives mostly at Mrs. Ware's.—
The Magistrate examined several other witnesses,
and took great pains to thoroughly investigate this
case ; at the conclusion he discharged Mrs. White,
and said, that he bad no doubt but there had existed
a most base conspiracy between Mrs. Ware and her
man to convict Mrs. White of a felony, and to make
her case appear clear, she had sent the man with the
property to Mrs. White's house. The Magistrate
ordered the officer to apprehend the man, and to
prefer an indictment for conspiracy against him and
Mrs. *are.

HORRID Mortozns.....Extr.tct trout a private letter.
" I have just heard that Mr. Chent►rlls of Godal-
ming, in Surrey, and his Housekeeper, were mur-
dered in his dwelling-hoarse, en Monday night.—
They were found yesterday morning, dead, the bodies
quite cold. Mr. Chennell was found in his bed, with
his head nearly severed fratn his body; the body of
the Housekeeper was found in the kitchen. They
were both far advanced in years, being upwards of
GO. Great hopes are entettained that the perpetrators
of these horrid deeds will be discovered; one man is
ut custody on suspicion. Lord Middleton, with a
mo►t laudable alacrity, attended on the spot the mo-
went he received iotelligence of this shocking cata-
strophe, to make personal inquiry into the circum•
stances, and examine such persons as should be
brought before him, or could gile any account of
this horrid transaction."

' Conosna's lmkorter.—FAvar. EFTFCTS FROM FIRE•
WORK&—Mr. Tidy, a respectable inhabitant ot South-
gate, Middlesex, met his death on the sth of No-
vember in a very unespected and lamentable Ulan•
ner, owing to the discharge of some squibs and crac-
kers, which occa.iuned an Inquest to be held ou Fri.
day last. From the statement of the witnesses, it
appeared that Mr. Tidy had been out with his chaise,
and had reached Southgate.on his return; that while
walking by the s'de of his chaise, the discharge of
some squills by a number of children who were
playing with them on the green by the road.side
facing the post-Afice, frightened Mrs Tidy's horse,
which suddenly tuned round, and went off at fall
gallop; and whether the carriage or the horse struck
the deceased, could not be ascertained ; but be was,
shortly afterwards discovered by the roaJ-aide in a
state of insensibility. Being conveyed home, he was
attended immediately by Mr. Hammond, surgeon,
who found him insensible and labouring for breath :
be died in about half an hour. Mr. Hammond ap-
prehended his-death was occasioned by some sudden
blow upon the aorta, which produced spasms and the
rupture of some large artery ititernaliy. The pupil
the eye was greatly dilated. The deceased was
42 years of age, and has kit a widow and five chil.
dm. The Coroner, in substance, observed, that the
letting off squibs and crackers in the vicinity of a
public road was highly dangerous, cnd being in vio-
lation of the public tranquil ty, oas illegal, and
when such a breach of law, after due caution; termi.
nated fern, to an individual, he thought it consti-
tuted a criminal offence. The offender here cannot
be identilied, and if he could, there might be diffi
culty in imputing a charge cf criminality to a child,
unaware of the volsequeni!es, and who might con-
ceive himself trjoyirg a co:rimon and innocent diver-
sion. This nits:lnch( ly the:ef:•re. pressed with
the greatest weight upon the parochial authorities,
who ought to have prevented such practices in their
disttict, and he hoped this fatal event would operate
as a warning and caution to them ; for in the recur.
rence of a similar event, whatever might be the ef-
fects as to others, they wuuld subject themselves to a
prosecution for gross, it nut criminal, negligence.
Verdict—Accidental Death.

LAMENTABLA ACCIOENT.CAUTION TO EQUTS-•
TRlANS.—Another loquest was held yesterday after-
noon, at the Committee Room. Middlesex Hospital,
on the body of Charles Bainbtidge, a boy about 12
years of age, who was killed on Sunday morning last,
13y falling from a horse. Thomas Bainbridge, bil-
liard marker to Mr. Hardaway, the proprietor et the
billiard rooms, Great Windmill-street, Haymarket,
being swam said, that on Stioday morning last his
master sent him with a horse to give him an airing in
the Regcnt's ; on his way he met his brother
(the deceased) going to church ; I e asked him to
I take a ride instead, and they wei.t together into the
Long Fields, Tavistock•square, and each rods the
horse alternately. There was a fight in the field be•
tween two young men, and he left his brother riJiag,
while he wept to see it. After several rounds there
was a shaming made by the mob, which formed the
ring. He heard the deceased call to some person to
stop the horse ; he turned to lus•it, and saw the horse
in lull gallop : the deceased fell off the saddle on one
side the horse, his foot stuck an the stirrup, and his
head fell on the ground. The horse ccntintred
lopping, and the deceased was trailed along the
ground, with his head beating ag.tins.t the stones,
front the Long Fields to Russell-square. the distance
of halt a mile. His loot came out of the st.rrup(in Rus-
sell-square, but the horse follupped out' a cuusiderable
distance further. The deceased was apparently dead
when taken up from the ground. Mr. Wyatt, house
surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, stated, that the de-
ceased was brought ta the ht.spital on Sunday ; he
was quits dead, he was covered with lacerations,
concussions, and fractures; his brain was badly in.
jured, and that alone was sufficient is have caused
his death. The Jury were in consultation from six
o'clock till near nine; four of thew were of opinion
that the Jury ought to be adjourned, and the owner
of he horse brought forward, and the horse forfeited.
The other eight Jurymen thought it was unnecessary
to adjourn. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Monday, a man, named Philip Lynch, an Irish-
man, between forty sold fifty years of age, wbe has
been for many years a labourer in the West India
. Docks, died from a compound fracture he received
in his right leg by the falling of a piece of tip Mer.
The deceased had sawed in the Company's service
Aso% which are in the free per cent. stock:

der being taken in at high prices by die proprietors,
who would submit to no depression to facilitate sales.
The particulars are-06 bales, fey superior clean
and bright, 19d. to 190.-44 sold ; 50 rather infe-
sior,l7o.vo 18d.-27 bold ; 281 very good current

nams 2s. a few sold at 2s. 21.

COTTON WOOL.—lmports of Cotton Wool dating
the present year, up to October last :

London. 12,969 bags; Liverpool, 3146; Glasgow, 4935;
Total, 51050 bags.—There were Imported at the sane places in
1816, 20,506 bags ; abewing an Increase this year of 30,511 bags.

_ .
SUGAR.—Tbe depression in the prices of Musco-
vades continued during all last week ; the prices were
from Is. to 2.5. per cwt. lower.
The demand for Muscovades this forenoon 'conti-
nues limited. The pricts cannot he stated at any va-
riation once last week. The deliveries from the ware-
house continue inconsiderable ; the stock, in conse
queue, increasing.
The refined market was heavy last week, bin as
the supply at market was horned, and the refiners nut
busily at work, tie holders showed some firmness,
more especially as the prices have now declined to
moderate rates ; the purchases made for Ireland and
for the home consumption of the country were, how.
ever, at prices a shade lower. Molast,s were in li-
mited request. There was no business cfrivcted in Fe-
reigii nr East India Sugars.
Ci afar.—The demand fur Coffee, by private con.
tract, in the early part of last week was considerable,
but towards the close the request became very limi-
ted; no alteration in the prices could be stated. A
considerable parcel of St. Domingo was reported to
be sold at 935. The stock of C, flee in London is
very limited, considerably below the quantity of pre-
ceding years, and as a great proportion is held on
speculation, considerable interest is excited as to the
probable prices at which it may be expected the ship-
ping season next spring will commence. The letters
yesterday from Holland, the Harm Towns, &c. men-
tion very reduced stocks, but no improvement in the
prices, which are still below the currency of London;
ilie direct arrivals on the Continent from Surinam,
from Java, Brazils, from Cuba, &c. tend more to
keep the prices low, from arriving week slier week,
I -
than even the quantity imported.
trusts Par.salass.—There is still a scarcity of new'
Beef; the few parceti at market meet a.ready sale ;
very little India Beef of prime quality has yet arrived.
Pork continues in extensive request. Bacon is with-
out variation. The prices of Butter have declined
considerably.
Tosacca.—Tile demand foe Tobacco is conside-
rably increasi;,g t the trade have purchased about
SOO lib& Stems for home consumption ; the quantity
of that description is rather limited ; the sales are
chielly 9 aid 1-od.
ltict.—There continues a very considerable re-
quest, partictslatly for exportation. Three thousang
N.igs Patna, of fair quality, newly arrived, have been
s••Id at `2.is. 6.1. and 29.. 'flie imports from the East
Indies are coosidera hie, but from the extensive request
it is probable the whole will meet a ready sale.
Oit.s.—The extensive speculators in Oil continue
firm, and u iil submit to no prices below what they
have fixed upon s they have made no further put.
chases, and as several parcels have appeared at mar.
ket, and effers received from ports in Scotland, stating
several inconsiderable supplies are ready for shipment
it £53 or £54 could be obtained, the prices have de-
clined, and the market may be stated very heavy at
the depression. The quantity of Sperm Oil at mar-
ket is so inconsiderable, that the prices are greatly
higher. Some Seal Oil has been received ; for a
mixed parcel of pale and brown, mostly of the latter,
£6O has been realized. Rape and Linseed Oils are
ael to 42 per tun lower.
NAVAL Sroam.--There are considerable parcels of 1
Rough Turpentine now offering ; the prices asked
by the holders are lower, but the depresiion does not
facilitate sales 1 it is stated, one or two parcels have
been sent from the Liverpool market. Spirits are
also lower. Tar may alsobe stated at a mall de-1
cline- In Rosin and Pitch there is no variation. 'I
Rim, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND(.—We have stated
for some time past that the vintage in the South of
France this season was nearly destroyed ; that the
whole produce will not exceed '2 u 0 to 5000 pun-
cheons of Brandy,' the usual produce being nearly
40,0( 0; taking the highest calculation, the stock of
Brandy in both countries, old and new, dues not ex-
ceed five thousand casks ; the prices, in consequence,
have advanced greatly ; three months ago, Cogniac
7s. has from week to week been advancing ; yester-
day 12s. 6d. per gallon was realized. and as the stock
is so extremely limited, and in few hands. it is impos-
sible to calculate to what the prices may advance.
SALTPITas.—The sale took place this forenoon at
she India House ; the whole sold freely at 425. 6J.
and 455.

Sncss..—The Pepper sale till; forenoon at the In-
dia House has been entirely wit! drawn ; the pur-4
chasers not offering above 9d. the taxed price or the
Company.
TALLOW, Hiatt., AND Flex.—The extensive de
stand for Tallow, chiefly on speculation, has sub-
sided ; the prices are lower ; the market very heavy
at the decline. Hemp is little varied. The prices of
Ras are higher.
