Joan Reynard, a little boy about ten years old, who gave the address, 26, New Church-court, Strand, was Charged before Mr. Koox with begging. Police-coostable Cheney, 87 C, said that about 1 o'clock that morning he saw the little boy begging of different persons in the Haymarket.

The constable said the boy also tell him that Ms mother instructed him to tell the persons be begged of that his father was dead, while in reality he was employed at the Adelphi Theatre. Mr. Knox said he would endeavour to take the poor little fellow off the streets, and remanded him for the pur pose, at the same time ordering him some needful refresh ment. _ _ WORSHIP STRUT. DREADFUL ASSAULT. A young man named Morro, and two brothers named Jones, the former a doll's shoemaker, the others wood choppers were charged with being concerned in violently assaulting and seriously injuring Kr. Joseph Parker, de ecribiog himself as a piano smith. Mr. L. Lewis, of Ely-plane, appeared for the pro secution ; and Mr. Horry for the prisoner.. The alleged outrage occurred on the 18th ult, and this was the first hearing of Mr. Parker's evidence. It wee given with extreme feebleness of voice and while he was seated. From hie statement it appeared that on the date mentioned he observed tram his own house a boy grossly ill-using a a very young child in the street, that he went oat and boxed his ears, immediately after which the mother of the boy rushed upon and abused him. The prisoner Morris followed end mulled him with the vilest epithets until the two Joann joined ; the three then made a set upon him. He was knocked down by a violent blow in the face, at the same moment that Morris tripped him up. Both the Joneses then flung themselves upon him, and beat him about the body, while Morris kicked him on the rite. He was rescued by his sons, bad immediate medical advice, and was subsequently sent to the hospital with one or more broken ribs on his left side. A warrant was applied for, and granted against Morris, and summons against the Joneses. The prosecutor's two sons gave confirmatory testimony, adding that while eedeavoariog to get their father away the eldest was compelled to threaten the prisoners with a half brick, and was himself struck by one of the Joann in Ike mouth. A great crowd had assembled, and at one time seven persons wets taking side with the prisoners. A lengthened erose-examioation followed, io the course of which it became very manifest that prosecutor had rendered himself obnoxious to the neighbourhood where he lived (Friar's-mount, Bethnal-green), by striving to do away with street gaming. The magistrate observed that the ease was one of such a serious character he should send it before • higher court, bat during a remand would accept sound bail for the two JO6llllll.

Be had been a carman, but for the last eight years he had been unable to work in coesequenos of a barrel having fallen upon him. He had for several years suffered dreadful pain because the wound had been poisoned and rendered incurable by washing it with a foul sponge. On last Monday afternoon witness, at the request of the deceased, left the house for the purpose of taking a cup of tea with • neighbour. Upon her return in an bour's time witness saw the deceased kneeling on the bed. One end of a silk handkerchief was fastened round his neck and the other end of it was tied to the top of the bedstead.

The report fruthersays "II is matter of notoriety that the existing lines ere un able to convey messages with the expedition which is above all things desirable in telegraphy. The directors are in a • pontion to stele that under the oonoession obtained, and the arrangements they have concluded for working it, they will be able to transmit messages from England to the places named below within a few minutes from the time of despatch. Arrangements have been made with the well known contractors ' the Telegraph Construction and Main tenance Company, for constructing and hying down the requisite oable, by which the actual cost of all the work to be done has been accurately meertained. An agreement bias also been concluded with the Electrie and International Telegraph Company, by which the ass of a osrlials number of wires is to be ceded to them for a tuna of five Tthles that company guaranteeing the transmission over the Hanoverian cable of the whole of the messages collected at their different stations in the United Kingdom for Hanover, Bremen, Hamburg, Sahleswig-Holetein, Deo mark, fiwelen and Norway, ho., and farther gusrantesing a minimum amount of business which, under the conditions of the conorasion, and under normal circum sternal, will produce a minimum annual revenue equal to 15 per cent on the total amount of capital required. With the view of effectually carrying out the concession, the directors propose to issue the remaining shares of the company (amounting to 6,500) of 254 each, on which it is not expected that mote than 204 will have ultimately to be paid, but to call up only 54 per share thereon, until the mosey market shall be in an easy position. Of the above number of shares, 1,625, er am quarter (204 paid) have been taken by the Telegraph Construction and Manta asses Company.

The funds remain heavy, at the reduction of yesterday. British rail ways have declined in several cases. As regards foreign stooks, there is a demand for Spanish Passive and Certificates, which are rather hotter. Financial and discount shares show no alteration, with the exoeption of a recovery of Bs. in Joint Stock Disoount. Grand Trunk of Oanada Rail- way stock has again given way. There is a stong demand for money to-day, chiefly in preparation for the bills due on the 4th of the month, which prove to be unusually heavy. A large amount of China paper also arrives at maturity to-morrow. The rate for good bills is fully equal to that of the Bank-7 per cent. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 7 per cent. The government broker has bought to-day 15,0001. Three per Cents. Reduced for the Sinking Fund. Consols are now quoted 86/ to 87 for money, and 87 to I far the account (March 8). The Bank of France return is satisfactory, the bullion showing a further increase of 267,0001., while the bills discounted have diminished to the extent of 780,0001. In the foreign stock market there is a demand for Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, which have risen per cent. Italian Bonds of 1861, however, have receded I. Other securities exhibit no movement of importunes. The quotations are as follows :—Greek, 14i to I Mexican, 22& to 234 ; Spanish Pamirs, 271 to ; ditto Certificates, 161 to 1 ; Turkish, 1865, 384 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 2 to I prem. ; Egyptian scrip, to I prem. ; and Italian, 1861, 601 to American securities are rather quiet. 5-20 Bonds are now quoted 704 to I ; Erie Railway shares, 541 to" 551, being rather lower ; and Illinois Central, 78 to 1. International Financial shares are now quoted k to k prem. ; General Credit, / to lk prem. ; London Financial, 4 to 2 die. ; Imperial Mer cantile, k to 1k prem.; Credit Foncier, 3} to k prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 4k to I prem. ; and Joint Stock Disoonnt, 611 to 6 dia. The steamer I* Plata, from the West Indies, hu brought 225,0001. in specie. The shares of the Imperial Land Company of Marseilles are quoted 2k to 3 prem. The purchase by the government broker yester day comprised 15,0001. Three per Cents. Reduced. An instalment of 10 per cent., making 25 per cent. paid, fell due yesterday on the Egyptian Go vernment Railway Loan. Farther large amounts of the scrip were paid up in full. A me of interest to the holders of Turkish secu rities was brought yesterday before the Stock Exchange Committee, on the application of the General Credit Company, acting as agents for the contractors of the five per cent. Conversion Loan, whose object it was to show that the Turkish go vernment has committed a breech of faith in bringing forward the 6 per cent, loan last issued in London and Paris, and to obtain the removal of ( this stock from the official list. As the question raised was a serious one, it led to considerable dis cussion, but resulted in an unanimous verdict on the part of the committee that the General Credit Company had failed to establish their case. The discussion is the more worthy of remark, because it is notorious that the Turkish government, how soever great its financial difficulties, has always scrupulously observed its obligations to its foreign creditors. It would certainly have been surprising could any evidence have been adduced to prove that the Porte had precluded itself, by its merit with the contractors of the Five per IT, Loan, from hypothecating to fresh lenders any spe cial securities in all time to come. To maintain that the government thus bound itself seems to be, upon the face of it, a completely untenable position. The decision of the Committee, as exonerating the government from the imputation made against it, will probably be regarded with satisfaction by the majority of holders of Turkish securities. The amount of gold sent into the Bank Tester dsywas 5,0001. The steamer Rhone has reached Lisbon from' Brazil with 50,0001. in specie. 1 The North Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 7,5051. over last year ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire an increase of 5,0771. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an increase of 2,4361. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover (including the Metropolitan Extension and branches), an increase of 1,2861. ; the Metropolitan Extension an increase of 3801. ; the Kent Coast an increase of 2301. ; and the North British an increase of 1,2681. A general meeting of the Varna Railway Com pany is called for the 29th March. We are requested to state that the share list of the National Cattle and Meat Company (Limited) will be closed for London on the 7th, and for the country on the Bth inst.
