MARINE. STORE KEEPERS.—A woman, named Sarah
Baines, keeper of a marine store, was yesterday proved in
the police-court to be in possession of stolen property—
sacks, nails, &c. She was at ,first committed for trial,
but was recalled, and sentenced to be imprisoned for two
months.

A forgery has been committed of the Dorchester bank
notes of Messrs. Eliot and Pearce, but it was soon de-
tected, and measures have been,taken to stop their circu-
lation. The parties are supposed to be the same as
those by whom forgeries on the north Wilts, the Stour-
bridge, and the Sheffield banks have recently been com-
mitted.

ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL.—On Saturday, a
young man was committed for trial for robbing a clothes
cellar in Marybone of several articles of apparel. Yester-
day, another youth, named Robert Jones, was brought-up
on a charge of being an accomplice. The evidence was
not quite complete, and he was remanded, though dis-
tinctly swormito. . _

ASSAULT2AND DAMAGE.—At the police-court, yester-
day, Thomas Kelly and James Hyde were charged with
breaking a man's door in a court in New Bird-itreet. The
evidence was extremely conflicting, showing an Irish
family quarrel, of some standing and great obscurity, but
they, the prisoners, were required to pay the stated
amount of damage, 405., and costs, or be imprisoned
twenty-one days.
THEFT 01' FLOUR FROM A FLAT.-Yesterday at the
police court, Andrew Renny and Thomas Corbett were
committed for trial, for having stolen from a flat about
sixty pounds of flour, from some sacks Which had been
sent down by a cart from Mr. Winstanley's mill, North-
shore. A quantity of flour was found upon the prisoners,
in a bucket and a sack, said by them to be sweepings, but
found to be clean.

SLEEPING IN BRICKFIELDS.—NO fewer than five young
men were yesterday brought before Mr. Rushton, as sus-
picious characters, they having been found in a hut, or
cave," during the night, on the North-shore, without
any ostensible plea for being there ; but though some of
them were known as former offenders, no specific charge
was substantiated against them, and they were discharged.
On one of them there was a sort of bludgeon made of
rope, served round with yarn, and loaded with lead at one
end—a dangerous looking weapon.
CHARGE OF PURLOINING PASSENGERS' MONEY.—At
the Police-court yesterday, an old Irishman, named Paul
Leicester, charged a young countryman of his own,. Jere-
miah Mahon, with having stolen £32, the property of two
young girls who were about to emigrate from this port to
America. The complainant stated that the young women
were orphans, and had entrusted him to procure their
passage, and to purchase them provisions for the passage.
The prisoner, it appeared, had acknowledged that when
he went to buy the stock he did not return to the house
where the young women were left. Upon his person was
found a sum of £35 13s. Prisoner said that the money
was his own, and that he had been in the young women's
service, and had done everything for them, adding that
he had taken and paid for his passage to America, by the
Henry Clay, to sail that day (yesterday). The money, it
appeared, was obtained from the giris at Birr (otherwise
Priests' Town, in King's County), and as witnesses were
there required to prove the case, at the request of the
complainant the prisoner was ordered to be sent in cus-
tody to Ireland.
EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTS AT ST. JUDE'S CHURCH.
—On Sunday forenoon, during the time that the Rev. Dr.
M`Neile was preaching the annual sermon at St. Jude's
Church on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of the
Jews, when the rev. gentleman was describing the dread-
ful privations from home and country to which the Jews
had been subjected, a loud scream and some incoherent
expressions from a poor man caused every eye to be di-.
rected towards him. Most of the congregation suddenly
rose from their seats, and several made the best of their
way out of the church. The rev. doctor stopped for a
few minutes while the screams from the-unfortunate man
continued, and while the sexton and one or tlyo gentle-
men were conveying him to the vestry-room ; and then
requested the congregation to retake their seats, and said
that an awful instance had just occurred of the depriva-
tion of reason, whether arising from distress of circum-
stances, or from whatever cause, it was impossible to
ascertain. Scarcely had he said this when the wretched
man was heard exclaiming in the vestry-room, " Lord,
have mercy upon me ! Christ, have mercy upon me !"
Upon the suggestion of the rev. doctor, the man was then
removed. Two females were subsequently attacked with
nervous symptoms, and screamed loudly, disturbing the
congregation until they were removed. In the remaining
part of the sermon Dr. M`Neile twice alluded to the cir-
cumstance, and expressed a hope that the congregation
would be more thankful than ever for the possession of
reason, and pray for those who had been so extraordina-
rily affected. He said that during his ministry at St.
Jude's that was the first occasion upon which any such
sudden deprivation of reason had occurred during divine
service.—Albion.

BALTIMORE HAMS.—For several years back we have
had an annual improvement in the quality of the provi-
sions from the continent of America ; indeed so altered is
the system of curing, that that which a few years since
was little more than palatable has become most delicious ;
for while the Baltimore hams now partake of all the ex-
cellence and richness of the Lancashire fed, there is the
accompanying acorn flavour that renders them most de-
licious. The stock imported last year scarcely served
quarter the demand, but from an advertisement in our
first page, it will be seen that we have already some of
this years curing on sale.
ROYAL ADELPHI THEATRE.—FIRST APPEARANCE OF
MR. BATTY'S COMPANY. —lt is an old maxim that com-
petition produces excellence, and we were never more fully
imbued with the fact than during a visit, last evening, to
this popular theatre. Our readers may be aware that a
French company have for some time been announced, and
with a view of meeting such an attraction, Mr. Cooke en-
gaged Mr. Batty, of Astley's, London, with the express
understanding that he was to produce the whole strength
of his double company ; and we must certainly say, with-
out disparagement to any company that may hereafter
appear, that we never were more gratified. The perform..
ance commenced with " The Merchant's Steed of Syra-
cuse; or, the Flight of Damon —a piece replete with all
the concomitants to produce admirable and powerful
effects, and so well interspersed with excellent dialogue, as
to give a relief to those who admire the merit of the
sterling corps dramatique of the establishment. In the
horsemanship, as there were no less than ten acts in the
circle, we can only be expected to give a cursory notice.
In point of talent, they are just what we expected from
such a school as that oldest equestrian of the day—in
agility and daring equal to aught the mind can wish. We
cannot, however, close without noticing in terms of ex-
alted commendation the performances of Madame Valen-
tine, of Mr. Batty, who appeared for the first time since
he had the honour of performing before her Majesty, with
his beautiful. mare, Beda, the tractability of which is in-
describable ; the vaulters, Mr. Burgess, Bullock, the buffo
clown, and Mr. Adrian. So great was the attendance last
night, that hundreds were turned away.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The condition of the new Wheat having been again affected,
by the state of the weather, trade was very dull at a decline 01
Is. to 2s. on the general runs of English, whilst a slow sale Was
experienced for foreign, at barely the rates of last Monday.
For the choicest malting Barley nearly as much money ics!
made, such being rather scarce, but middling qualities must
be quoted fully Is, per quarter lower.
The large brewers still refuse to buy Malt, and this article is
offered again somewhat cheaper.
There was no variation in the quotations a English Flout,
and no briskness in the demand for foreign at last week's cur-
rency.

Beans were taken slowly, at rather lower rates.
Foreign Peas were offering more freely, and these must be
quoted I. to 2s. per qr. cheaper.
There was no material change in the price of good old Oatef
but new corn was 6d. to is. per qr. lower than on this deg
se'nnight.
