POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. THREATENING TO ASSASSINATE LORD JOHN RUSSELL Frederick Mandl*, who had the appearance of a military man, was placed at the bar on the above charge. Mr. Reynolds, of the Treasury, appeared to prosecute. Upon the warrant upon which he was charged being read over, the prisouer, in a loud and taco hermit manner, demanded whether Lord V. Russell was present, and, being answered in the negative, said he ob jected to the proceedings altogether. If his lordship were pre sent, ho could ask him many questions which would be highly important. lie had been before the police magistrates before, and had been most cruelly ill, used, and therefore he demanded and had a fair right to hare his accuser present. If his lordship were not there, ho objected to the ease pro ceeding. The magistrate decided that the case must go oa. Mr. Law, the private secretary to his lordship, said that on Tuesday last ho received a letter, which he produced, and which was directed from No. 4 , King-street, Port man-square, and bore the prisoner's signature. Its ecatents were of a most violent character, and, in We opinion, if the writer were not confined or bound ever to keep the peace, a breach of the law must take place. The letter asked for justice for some supposed wrong, and the writer demanded as a public servant, a fair inquiry into those wron7s . I t went on to state that the writer had been treated with the most brutal malice, and that if the subject could not obtain justice, be had a right to appeal to his sovereign for a remedy. ter going into some other subjects the writer concludes by would app-ase him if his stating tissa, " by Crod. nothiag demand were refused ;" and tile prisoner demanded a fresh and impartial hearing in the presence of himself. J. Briton said that he took the prisoner into custody last night, in Baker-street, and upon s.urching him at the station-house he found a razor, which the prisoner stated would do for Lord John Rwisell whenever he pleased. This the prisoner now denied, and stated that what be said was this, " That the razor would do for that Henry the magistrate to commit suicide with. It was all a v r elz i o i f en l6es .. ":l utLby, charge e police w u themselves. Div. and be should bind the prisoner over to keep the peace for 12 months, in the sum of Mi., and two sureties in the sum of 1001., each with 48 hours' flake. If these sureties were not forthcoming he must be imprisoned for that period. The prisoner was re cored, protecting against the legality of the proceedings. AND CLERICAL.

Name of Ra:.gray. BAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. The railway share market is affected by the influ ences in operation in the English stock department. Business is not extensive, but the feeling is altogether more buoyant, and an advance in prices has occurred, extending to nearly all lines. In many instances, it will be seen from the subjoined list of the morn ings sales, the rise is considerable. E'ranch shares arc steady, with not much doing. deo to.loy up to 1 p.m. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. _ Two o'Ctoes. In the various departments of the Stock Exchange a general feeling of buoyancy prevails to-day, owing to the highly favourable nature of the Bank of England returns, combined with the intimation that the directors of that establishment have resolved upon reducing the rate for advances on government stocks till the re-opening of the Congo' books from 21 per cent. to 2 per cent., a determination which, in view of the position and prospects of the money market, is generally regarded as the precur sor of a reduction in the rate of dis count. Although prices of all stocks and shares are strengthened by these considerations, however, business has received little stimulus, Saturday being always regarded as an off-day, and the attendance being further restricted by the holiday season. Next week will witness the settlement of the foreign stock and railway share accounts, and but little doubt is entertained that much more activity will prevail in the security markets generally. The first transaction in Consols this morning was effected at 97,4, and they have since risen to 971 to ' ex dlr. for the 16th January, being an advance of ; since yesterday. Very little has been 43110 in this department. The official record of business includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for account, 974 ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 97; ; ; New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 98 ; India Stock, The unfunded securities, as a matter of course, ex hibit a rising tendency. Exchequer bills arc quoted , at an advance of ls. over the late rise, dealings having been effected at 525. to 31s. prem. In India Bonds transaction, are marked at 61s. and 625. prem. Firmness is also the characteristic of the foreign bond market, though little is doing, either for speculation or otherwise. Holders of th 3 dividend paving stocks, anticipating an advance, refuse to sell except at a concession. Spanish sttock still shows an upward tendency. Sales are thus stated today: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 9-li. Chilian Six per Cents., 101. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, the 31st of December, 39; ; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 89i. Peru vian Five per Cents., :1849, 91. Russian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 102;, 3. Sardinian Five per Cent. Bonds, nil. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 21; ; ditto for account, 211, ; ditts.) Old Three per Cents. 414... . . The market for the new gold shares is very firm, and several descriptions show a tendency towards improvement. Nouveau Monde shares are better, at to prem., and Agua Fritts at 1 to 11 prem. British .Australian are quoted par to prem. We havu received the following: _ VENEZI:EIAN DENT. Committer of Spanish American Bondholders, 8, Broad-street buildings, Dec. 26,1851. The above committee received this morning a letter from Mr. Lord, dat(d Guayra, Nov. 26, 18.31,” apprising them of the strong representation he hid mule to the Venezuelan Finance Minister with regard to the irregu larity in the last remittance of 7,6001., and at the battle time urging again the sending of the amount stilt wanting to make up the dividend of last October. Tho following is a translation of the minister's answer to Mr. Lord's appli estion : "Caracas, Nov. 21, 1851. " Sir,—ln answer to your communication of the bth inst., his Excellency the President desires me to say, for the information of those gentlemen whose interests you repre sent, that orders will immediately be given fur the funds sent by this government since July, 1850, to be transferred to the patties named by you, namely, the provision' commission appointed by the Venezuelan government, and consisting of James tlib ligan, Esq., the Venezuelan consul; Baron de tioldstnid, and John Diston l'owles, Esq., and that the stun still wantind to make up the entire amount of the dividends fur the present year to be cantata' the soonest possible. " I must likewise beg to add, that the cause for so long delving the transfer of said fund has arisen front the go verntnent baying had it in contemplation to appoint a spe cial agent for the payment of the dividends to the parties interested, and for entering into arrangemmts in respect to the entire foreign debt of Venezuela; but, as this appoint ment has nut as yet been made, the government hos not deliberated an instant in complying with your request. "I beg to assure you, on the part of this government, that the most earnest desire clic' , religiously to fulfil the engagements of the dote to tit full extent of the provision assigned in the present budget.—l remain, &e., (Signed) " I'. C. GELLINT:Ar." The market for foreign exchanges presented no new feature yesterday, scesremaininbs much the same as last post. Short Paris was in tolerable demand, and remained 25.20 to 22k. The foreign houses are nearly all drawers against French shares, of which a vast number have been sent to the Paris Bourse for realisation. Amsterdam was rather offered, and found no takers; the quotation is on that account somewhat higher. viz., 11.171 to 18. Frankfort was in demand, and all that offered was readily taken at 120; to 1. Hamburg remained the same as last poet, 13.94 to 10, although coming lower from the other side, discount being there 5 per cent. for short bills. It is a remarkable feature that the rate of discount generally rises very high at Hamburg towards the end of the year,. and that consequently the price for bills on London is much depressed. Bills on Italy were not much dealt in, but paper on Spain and Portugal was in re quest, and negotiated in favour of sellers. Vienna and Trieste were done nt 12.20 to 28, but the trans actions were scanty, owing to the absence of the prices by telegraph from Vienna. The rates nego tiated are as follows: _ ... . lime.

The charge from Panama, including transit across the isthmus, is 12 per cent. ; for distant places, more. 6 The railway traffic returns for the last week gene rally contrast very well with those for the cern vending period of 18,50, though the London and North %Vestern presents a falling off of 2,831/., and a few other lines also exhibit a diminution. The de crease in the receipts of the first-named company is satisfactorily explained by the circumstance that the earringe of materials for the Crystal Palace was beginning to exercise a sensible influence at this time last year. At this period of the season the goods traffic usually shows a falling off, whilst the passenger traffic expe riences an augmentation, owing to the mutual inter change of visits between relatives in town and country. The returns to be published next week will embrace the Christmas week's traffic, when these characteristics will be more strikingly observable.

U:737,369 lncreaPs .703:656 The continued upward movement of the stock of coin and bullion forms the chief feature in this re turn, to which a peculiar degree of interest attaches from the fact that the metallic accumulation of the Rank now stands at a higher figure than at any period since its establishment. The highest amount ever before attained was on the 23rd March, 1850, when it stood at 17,293,67/IL, or 11f1,886/. less than at present. It must also be borne in mind that the influx is proceeding with unabated rapidity, both from the continent and the other side of the Atlantic. in addition to the new source of supply opened up by the discovery of the Australian gold fields, the effect of which is already beginning to be sensibly felt. Under these circumstances it would seem to be rather hazardous to express an opinion as to the additional amount that may find its way into the Bank vaults, as, although the dividend payments in January . , and other circumstances, may temporarily cheek the accumulation, the tendency appears very strongly marked. The increase in the item of public deposits is much larger this week, as usual towards the ter mination of the financial quarter, and the two next returns will doubtless add a very respectable sum to the account. According to the official returns published in the aactte of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of all the private banks of England and Wales, during the week endiuv the 13th of December last, was 3,3*0,23tif.; in the week preceding, the amount was 3,409,210!. There is consequently a decrease of 22,972/. The note circulation of the joint-stock banks during the same week was 2,651,803/. • and the previous week's return being 2,097,1021., tic decrease is shown to be 13,207/. _ _ _ On taking into consideration the active circulation of the Bank of England, which in the week in ques tion was 18,889,2751. (being 34,7701. more than the week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula tion of England and Wales to be 24,957,408/., which shows on balance a decrease of 3,409/. as compared with the returns for the previous week, ending the 6th of December. As regards the fixed issues, the private hanks were 1,311,8311., and the joint-stock banks 72M,092/. below the amount authorised to be issued, making a total of 2,039,920 k below the fixed amount.

TO TILE EDITOR UV THE REVUE'S. STll,—The electric telegraph has already been ap plied to many and useful purposes. There remains yet another, to which purpose, should it be applied, it would frequently be the means of pre• caning loss of He and property—l. mean the connecting of all the metropolitan tire-engine establishments by electric telegraph, so that when an alarm should to given at any one of them an "instantaneous general turn-out" might be the result. The wires might also commu nicate with each police office for this and other pur poses. By sparing a corner for this you will greatly oblige, yours obediently, numANITY. ABOLITION OF THE WELSH CUSTOM OF FUNERAL OFFEILINGM.—Ist many districts and localities the old and obsolete practice of the friends of deceased parties making presents or " offerings" of money at the altar to the clergy man officiating at the burial of the deceased is still kept in force. This custom is in law termed the " come present," and originated as a fee or WlZ:ring to the priest for his set ' riles for getting the souls of the departed out of purgatory. By many persons in Wales, both churchmen and dissenters, this practice has heed deemed derogatory and illegal, inas much as it is asserted that by a statute passed in the 21st year of the reign of Henry VIII., the custom of come offer ings was abolished, and declared unlawful. A clerctuan of the estiblished church, the Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Conway, has voluntarily abolished the practice, and declared his intention net to receive any " offerings" for the future. On several other occasions the practice has been disco's tinned, and a growing feeling against the custom appears to prevail. HOLLOWAY RAGCED SCHOOL.—A dinner, consist ing of hot roast lee 1, potatoes, bread, and plum pudding, was given to the children atten ding the above school by the teachers and friends on Christmas day.

Lieutenant 0. W. Watson to Centaur. AN Eccvernac SUICIDE.—The following para graph appears in the French papers :—On as well-dressed body, discovered this morning hanging from • tree on the road from Versailles to Seem's, the following letter was found:—' Those who shall discover my body swaying itself at the impulse of the winds, 03 did those formerly sus pended to the gibbet at Montiaucon, will, no doubt, feel either terror-struck or moved with pity. ' Behold,' they will exclaim, ' another victim of wretchedness or grief.' fhey will be mistaken. I have always been perfectly happy. I feel that with old alga will come and it is to evoid the slightest pain, the must petty annoyance, that I have determined to put an end to my life. This may appear absurd, but I ran of opinion that ,ken one has lived com fortably fer more than 60 years one ought to have had enough of life. I am alone in the world. I was not an inhabitant of Paris; I therefore think it will be impos :4lile to know who I am. Besides, I have taken every pre caution for insuring this; and, if the last wish of a dying 11300 rommands any respect, I entreat that no inquiries may be made on the subject. I left my home after selling everything, and giving out that I was starting for a foreign country. 'My property is all realised, and the bask notes which it has produced will have yesterday reached the hands of an honest father of a family, whom it will render happy. I have so managed that he should be ignorant of their source. Having no further business in this world, I am going. Good bye !
