„
COMMITTAL OF A GANG OF HOUSEBREAKERS: On
Friday an investigation took place in the magistrates'
private room, at the Sessions-house, before Mr. Bolton,
respecting several robberies which have lately been com-
mitted by an organized gang of housebreakers, named
Peter Hunter, John Aikin, Ellen Shields, Rose Brad-
shaw, and Elizabeth Taylor. The prisoners resided at
house in Banastre-street, kept by Ellen Shields, where•a
great quantity of stolen property was found, some on
the persons of the prisoners, as well as a number of pawn
tickets for various articles. On the 12th inst., the house
of Mr. Hutchins, in Paget court, was entered in his ab-
sence, and clothing to the amount of £3 stolen. The
house of Mr. John Glover, 7, Beau-street, was entered
by means of skeleton keys, and property to the amount
of £2O stolen. The house of Mr. Wilson, in Dublin-
street, was entered from the kitchen window, on the 6th
inst., and several articles of clothing stolen. The house
of Mrs. Anderson, Glegg-square, Glegg-street, was ford-
bly entered on the 24th of December, and dresses, shawls,
&c., to the amount of £l2, stolen. The house of Mr.
Moon, Burlington-street, and that of Mr. William John-
son, New Blenheim-street, were entered with skeleton
keys on the 3rd inst. and 24th of December, and various
articles of wearing apparel abstracted. The cases• being
all fully proved, the prisoners were committed for trial.
The prisoner Hunter has been previously sentenced to ten
years' transportation.
CLAIM FOR WAGES BY A SEAMAN.— On Friday, Cap-
tain Fenwirk, master of the ship Monica, lately arrived
frern Calcutta, was summoned by Charles Carl Ernesear,
a sailor, for the sum of £6 16s. Bd., being the balance of
wages claimed by him. The complainant had shipped at
Calcutta, in September last, on board the Monica, as an
able seaman, at £4 a month, but on the arrival of the ves-
sel at this port, the defendant refused to pay him more
than £3 per month, on the plea that the complainant did
not know how to steer the ship, and had to be twice sent
from the wheel. Witnesses were called to prove com-
plainant's efficiency as a helmsman and general seaman.
Defendant was ordered to pay complainant at the rate of
£3 per month

STABBING A BOY.—On Friday, Augustus Bento, Li na-
tive of Manilla, and cook on board the ship William
Spruce. now lying in Waterloo Dock, was charged with
stabbing the cabin boy of that vessel. It appeared that,
during the captain's absence, the prisoner was entertain-
ing some of his countrymen in the galley with the ship-'s
provisions, and that the boy had told him he would in-
form the master, upon which the prisoner drew a long
sharp knife and stabbed him in the side, but fortunately
without doing any material injury. The prisoner was or-
dered to pay £5, or be committed for two months,
PUBLICANS AND BEERSELLERS' CASES.—Edward
Horrocks, publican, Peter-street, was, on Friday, fined
£5 and costs.—Thomas Nickson, publican, Blundell.
street, acquitted:—ThomasJones,Simpson-street, (Park),
fined one shilling.- William Corless, beerseller, Jubilee-
street, the same fine.—Wm. Hampson, publican, refusing
to admit an officer, was fined 20s. and costs.—Lewis
Parry, heerseller, was fined 2a. 6d., and 2s 6d. costs.
OFFICE ROBBERY.—On Thursday, two youths, named
Thomas Murphy and Hugh Mullen, were caarged with
brealdne into the office of Mr. Hamilton, wine-merehant,
Oldball-street, and stealing therefrom nine bottles of
wine. The office had been fastened at five o'clock on
Monday afternoon, and in the course of the evening it
was discovered that it had been entered by a false key, and
a robbery perpetrated. The evidence not being complete,
the prisoners were remanded.
BURGLARY.—On Thursday, Emma Terry and Samuel
Gill were charged, on suspicion, with hurglarionsly en.
tering the dwelling-house of Edward Everall, Tarlton-
street, and stealing some wearing apparel, a pocket-book
containing £3, and other articles. The thieves had ob-
tained an entrance into the parlour by forcing the front
window. Mary Ann Ashton stated that she had lived
with the prisoner Gill in Spitalfields, and that, on the pre-
vious Friday morning, he returned home with Mr. Eve-
rail's property. He sent the female prisoner to pledge
them in Islington, and she (the witness) accompanied
her. The money, on their return, was handed to
Another charge of housebreaking was preferred against
them. On the 3rd instant, the house of Mary Ann
Denison was entered during the night, and robbed of a
shawl and some chimney ornaments, which were sold by
the female prisoner to a furniture-broker, in Richmond-
row, who had also purchased from her Mr. Everall'i
pocket-hook. The prisoners were committed for trial.
CHARGE AGAINST A FATHER BY HIS SON.-011
Thursday, an elderly man, named Jonathan Huntingdon,
a plasterer, was charged by his son, Joseph Huntingdon,
with stealing a bed, bolster, and some bedclottes. It
appeared that the prisoner and his wife Pved separate,
and that be (the son) supported his mother and three
children. The prisoner constantly annoyed them, and,
watching an opportunity, when he and his mother were
absent from the house, entered by the back door, and,
making his way up stairs, stole the property and de-
camped. The old man, on being asked for his defence,
stated that he had not lived with his wife for three years ;
she had run away and left him with six children. They
(meaning the mother and the prosecutor) had stolen the
bed and the other property from him, and left him with-
out anything to cover himself or the children, Mr.
Mansfield said that the charge of felony could not be
sustained against the prisoner. It was, be said, a very
deplorable thing to see father and son appear under such
circumstances.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION NIARKET, JAN. 23.
There is a moderate inquiry for Beef, at former prices, and
the stock being somewhat reduced, holders are not so pressing.
In the absence of arrivals of American Pork, the trade find
their supplies chiefly from Ireland. There is no activity in the
demand for Bacon, but, the supply of American being light,
there is no disposition shown to give way in price. Shoulders
move more freely. Hams also unsaleable. A further advance
of Is. and 2s. has been made on Lard, and the stock has
dwindled very low. For fine Cheese an advance of Is. and 2s.
is now demanded. such being scarce. There has been less in-
quiry for Butter this week.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 23.—Our supplies coastwise and from
Ireland are generally small, and except a fair quantity of wheat
and Beans, the arrivals from abroad since Monday last are un-
important. Influenced by the scanty arrivals of Grain and
_ .
Fb-

.gour recently into the ports of the United Kingdom from
abroad, with some further shipments of Enulish and Foreign
Wheat to the North of Europe, the reported need of supplies
into those sections of the Continent, and the uncertainty of
any adequate importations from America and other distant
sources until spring and summer, seem to have given in-
creasing confidence to the trade in nearly all the British mar-
kets this week, and with few exceptions Wheat is quoted Is.
per qr. dearer; Spring Corn also in most cases tending upwards

course of which sales of Foreig❑ Wheat were upon a very
extensive scale for investment, at an advance of ld. to 2d. per
701bs. over the improved rates of Tuesday ►ast ; and although
at our market today holders remained firm at the amendment,
the demand abated, and our local millers buying cautiously,
the business of the morning relative to all descriptions of this
Grain passed over and closed rather quietly. American Flour,
continuing in very active request, and the consumption rapidly
increasing, with a much reduced stock on hand, and higher

Barley, Malt, and Pease in steady demand on the terms last
noted. Oats, being less plentiful and saleable, fully support
our last currency; and Oatmeal commands a fair inquiry at
late prices. Indian Corn on the spot, with little offering, has
been taken sparingly this morning, and for the same reason
little business is practicable in floating cargoes.

MANCHESTER.—There is some degree of irregularity in our
market this week, and business is difficult to effect, Slight
concessions having been made in the prices of warps and cops,
and the bias, both in domestics and light cloths, has been ra-
ther against producers, though no quotable alteration can be
stated to be general. The demand for warps and vin-cops is at
present almost entirely confined to the home trade, as the con-
tinental buyers are doing scarcely anything. Light' cloths are
quite neglected by the India houses; and the home dealers,
though most barely supplied, are still postponing their purcha-
ses of domestics or other fabrics. The market was weaker on
Tuesday, however, than it has since been. The American ac•
counts having produced rather a hardening effect upon the
Liverpool market, a little more of stiffness has arisen in our
own also, partly from mere sympathy, but partly, too, from the
diminished probability which the latest advices from America
appear to hold out of giving way for the present in the price of
the raw material. More firmness has shown itself (particularly
yesterday) amongst spinners, and to some extent amongst ma-
nufacturers also, accompanied, at least partially, with some-
what more of a disposition for business amongst the buyers.
But the impulse, such as it is, has little influence with many
of the latter, on account of the quarter in which it originates_
After all, troublesmw! as business is found to be, the aggregate
sales of the week are of fair though not large extent. The pur-
chases that have been latterly made, and are still being made,
for China, firmly sustain the value of reeled water twist and the
better makes of 40 inch shirting; the engagentents entered
into for India support the advance upon 40's and 50's mule
twist; and the prices of good long cloths and printers are stea-
dily maintained by the degree in which they are bought up.
HOCH D-LE.—The flannel market this week has been slacker
than it has been for the last six months. Wool continues firm,
though there is little doing, and dealers are looking forward to
an advance in price.
LEEDS.—The woollen cloth trade of this town and neighbour-
hood is rather flat, and the business done during the week hag
been scarcely to an average amount for the season. We cannot
notice any alterati•in in prices.
BRADFORD.—We have no change to report in the state of
trade here, unless it be an increased demand for warns, for the
Lancashire market at low prices. The sales of piece goods
during the week have been comparatively limited. The wool
trade, too, is flat, the manufacturers not venturing to give the
prices asked.
NOTTINORAM.—There is not any variation in the condition
of either of the great branches of the commerce of this town
since our last week's report. Some departments of the hosiery
business are brisker than others, and on the whole a fair busi-
ness is doing. Spinners are still asking a higher price for yarn,
but we have not heard of any advance being yet given, nor do
we think it probable it will he sustained_
