POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-MONDAY.

Two women named Mary Fynn and Letitia Duffer, w4tVe
placed at the bar under the following circumstances. (in
Wednesday last, Mrs. Nicholson, wife of Mr. Nicholson,
hatter, of Church -street, in crossing Clayton-square, dropped
her gold watch, and nothing was heard of it although it was

extensively advertised. It appeared that the son of Fynn
found the watch the same day, and gave it to his mother.
She exhibited it to a number of persons, and among others,
to Mr. Fell, publican, hi Gloucester-street, who took the
❑umber of it, and by that means it was identified. After that,
Fynn got drunk, and when she arrived at her lodgings, she
was stripped and put to bed by Duffer, who was seen by
another female to take the watch from her bosom. Since
that time nothing had been heard of it. Mrs. Nicholson
being in ill health was unable to appear. Mr. Rushton
ordered Fynn to be discharged and the other prisoner to be
remanded for further enquiry.

I3REAKING OPEN A WORKSHOP.
Elijah Stanely, a well known character, was charged with
having broken open the workshop of Joseph Priest, a
carpenter, in Mill-lane, and stealing therefrom four joiners'
planes. The prisoner is the man who in humble imitation
of Jack Shepperd, broke out of Rose-hill Bridewell about a
month ago.

From the. evidence, it appeared that about a quarter past
three o'clock this morning (Monday), the prisoner was met
by an officer in Scotland-road, with the planes in his
possession. He was taken into custody, and on the way to
Bridew•ell, the fourth plane was found under his clothes.
The prosecutor stated that his workshop had been broken
open some time . between Saturday night and Monday
morning.

Mr. itusHTox, after reminding the prisoner that it was
only a short time since he was before the court, asked him
what he had to say. He replied " nothing." He was com-'
mated for trial at the next sessions.

DISTURBING A CONGREGATION.
William Sutherland, a sailor, was charged with having
disturbed the congregation of St. Nicholas's Church during
divine service on Sunday morning. The police-officer on
duty, stated that the paisoner was drunk, and that on entering
the doors of the church, he commenced singing " Hearts of
Oak." He was ordered to pay a penalty of 55., or in de-
fault to be committed for three days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-WEDNESDAY.

INTERESTING TO SHIPOWNERS.
George Henry Clarke appeared before the stipendiary
magistrate to claim from his brother, Francis Clarke, captain
of the brig Elizabeth, of London, a balance of wages amount-
ing to £7 18s. 2d. Mr. Wardle appeared for the claimant.
The claimant stated that on the 14th of September last, he
signed articles as chief mate of the vessel of which his bro-
ther was master. He was to go to Tampico and back, and
was to receive £4 per month. The vessel arrived here on
the morning of the Bth of February ; but, though he had in
the meantime applied unsuccessfully for his discharge, he
had not received it up to the present time. He served in the
vessel until the Ist of March, and in the claim now preferred
the wages were calculated up to that day, although he had
received wages at 18s. a week. The mate contended that he
was entitled to both the monthly wages and the weekly
allowance.
To this the captain objected, maintaining th at it' was in
direct opposition to the practice of the port, and to confirm
this called Mr. Poole, who stated that it was the custom of
the port to consider the voyage complete on arrival, after
which weekly wages were paid to those of the crew not
discharged.

Rushton
Mr. Rushton did not consider the voyage complete on the
arrival of the vessel in port. The mate could not then have
left the vessel. If he had done so, he would have been liable
to pay a forfeit of one month's wages.
The claimant urged that he had previously been in the
habit of receiving both the monthly wages and the weekly al-
lowance from other vessels.
Capt. Clarke had himself never heard of such a practice,
nor had any masters of vessels whom he had spoken to on the
subject.

Mr. Wardle contended that the weekly allowance (in this
case 18s) was merely for providing the mate with board and
lodging, instead of being provisioned in the vessel.
Mr. Rushton was of the same opinion. Ile thought that
the weekly wages were in lieu of provisions. Mr. Poole and
the captain still maintained that the practice of the port was
opposed to the double demand.
Mr. Rushton.—Well, this is quite new to me. Ido not
think it is iaw. My present impression is, that the man is
entitled to both food and pay until the voyage is legally com-
plete. I will, however, consider the case, and give my deci-
sion to-morrow.
Some further conversation took place, in the course of
which the magistrate advised the parties to settle the matter.
The captain finally agreed'to pay the mate his wages up to
the time that the vessel was discharged, which was about ten
days after her arrival.
Mr. Rushton then expressed his opinion that the claimant
was entitled, not only to wages, but an allowance for board
and lodging, up to the time that the vessel was discharged,
and the voyage legally complete.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-03-13

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 10.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Tha imports of Grain since Tuesday last have again been very
moderate, owing to a continuance of easterly winds, and our millers
and dealers owing to the very fine weather we have now had for
nearly four weeks, and in the expectation of large arrivals on a
change of wind, have been very sparing buyers for their immediate
wants, sales have thus been only to a very small extent during the
past week, but at fully our last quotations for every article in the
Corn trade.
The only alteration in the duties on Grain, from foreign ports,
since Friday, is au increase oar Beans of Is 6d per quarter, and a
decrease on Oats of Is 6d per quarter. Several parcels of American
at 31s, and some small parcels for export at 31s 6d to 325 I..er brl.
All kinds of bonded Grain find sales, as if free, allowing the duties.
Fine sweet heavy Dutch Oats 3s 10d to 4s in bond, for export.
Notwithstanding a further advance of 2s per quarter on English
Wheat yesterday, in the London market, proceeding from the im-
provement in its quality, we have experienced no improvement in
prices or demand here at this day's market; sales were effected
only to a very small extent, and prices of every article in the Corn
trade remain as noted this day week.
