;HE POLICE COURTS. • (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. THE GREAT MONEY LOAN SWINDLE. m o issorte Ambrose, alias Limon, alias Pearson, described o n the charge-street es an artist, residing at No. 3, Ben theeproul, South Hackney, was brought before Alderman B el fry with being ooncerned with Charles Jesup, John troy, and William Mitchell, now under remand, charged w i t h o btaining the sum of 2/. tin from Thomas Turner, • farrier, residing at Roes, in Herefordshire, on the 23rd of hay last- The evidence given on farmer omissions showed that son partial were putting advertisements into country to pers, offering to give gentlemen, tradesmen, and others loans of money on their own notes of hand, or any term n ot exceeding 10 years, repayable by instlments at the borrower's convenience, all loan-offloe routine dispensed with and the money advanced within seven d e r of the application. The letters were addressed to a gr eengrocer's in Harp-alley, Farringdon-street, • very poor locality, and were from there fetched by Conroy, who maintains that he was paid by Mitchell and another to bring them away. It was their practice to receive those applications, answer them, and promise to lend the money at 6 per cent. interest, and they would even go so far as to send down the promissory note for signature and at the same time request the first year's interest to be sent them by post-office order and that the full amount of the loan should be forwarded to the borrower by return of poet. If all these requisitions were complied with the post-office order was cashed, but the loan wee never sent. When the borrower found he could not get the money he had been promised he would write to know the reason of the delay, and then would receive an answer enclosing his signature torn off the bill, thus showing it was destroyed, and stating that in cone/queues of Mr. Merchant not having had • signature witnessed he bad lost • large sum of money in an ac tion in the Court of Queen's Banish, and that it would be necessary for his agent to call upon the borrower to witness his signature to a new bill, and to hand him over the money. This, however, was the last they ever heard of the matter. When the City police were communicated with the matter was put in the hands of Detective Smith, and under his direction Mr. Kaills, who had been induced by misrepresentations to allow the letters to be addressed to his house, refused to give them to Conroy. He went back and returned with Jessop, who end he was Merchant (the name in which the swindle was carried on) and demanded the letters. They were both taken into custody, and then Jesup said he was em ployed by the other two men to come and represent him self as Merchant in order to get the letters. Smith went with Conroy next day up to Camden-town and ap prehended Mitchell, but the other man escaped. Since then he had been looking out for the prisoner Ambrose until he apprehended him. Win. Smith said on the Ist of June he went to Hartland road, Camden-town, to apprehend the prisoner, and found he had absconded. He had been in pursuit of the prisoner ever since. He traced him to • place at Hackney-wick, and from there to Bentham-road, South Hackney. About half-put 7 o'clock that morning he knocked at the front door, and inquired for a person by the name of Pear son. Underwood, another officer who accompanied him, was then stationed at the back door. Wit ness was shown up to the third floor busk room. A woman knocked at the door and said, " Mr. Pearson, you are wanted," and the prisoner answered from inside. After a short delay a young female about 17 presented herself at the door and he walked into the room. The saner was was dressing himself, and witness said to him " Do you know me ?" and he replied, " No, I do not." Witness then said, " This young woman does. My name is Smith ; I am the officer that has Mitchell and others in custody for trend." He said, " I know nothing about it." He then took the prisoner into custody, and told him the charge, to which he made no reply. On the way to the station he said, "Through living with Mitchell caused me to be implicated in this affair." Witness said " I forgot to ask you, but do you know Jessop and Conroy?" and he said "Yes, I know them." This was the principal of the men now in custody, and he (Smith) wished for a remand. The prisoner admitted writing a letter, but denied ever having written a promissory note. The prisoner was remanded, and bail refused. CLERKENWELL. SEIZURE OF COUNTERFEIT COIN. Henry Beirmss, efei 57, described as a carpenter, Louisa Jones, aged 21, a milliner ; and Thomas Jones, aged 57, an attorney's clerk, residing at 20, Warwick-road, Hornsey, were charged before Mr. D'Eynconrt with having in their possession counterfeit coin, with intent to circulate the some, and also with having 374 bonnet-shapes, and not giving a satisfactory account of the same, at the parish of Hornsey. From the evidence of the Mint agent, Mr. James Bren nan, of 39, Radnor-street, St. Luke's, it appeared that be, accompanied by Inspectors Langdon, Fyfe, and Bush, went to the above addrees, armed with a search warr - nt, broke open the door, and proceeded to search the rooms for counterfeit coin. In the kitchen they found the woman Jones and Burgess in bed, and in a box in the same apartment th ree counterfeit florins and one counterfeit tinning. On proceeding upstairs the police found the man Jones in bed with a woman, and on telling them their er rand be said " That is only done out of a little spite. You will find no counterfeit coin here. We don't keep it here." On searching the place the police found 374 new bonnet shapes and 52 duplicates relating to new carpets, hearth rugs, wearing apparel of every description, jewellery, and three new window blinds, all of which can be seen on application to Inspector Langdon, at the Kingsland police-station. The prisoners are known to the police by the aliases of Cruse, Allen, Graham. Pearce, Wright, Thompson, kc. ; and it was stated to the magis trate that if a remand was granted, other charges would be brought against them. It was further stated by the police that the woman was not known to them, that Bur ris had been convicted of offences at the Old Bailey, and that Jones was known as the companion of notorious ut terers of counterteit coin. The man Jones denied the statements made against him, and said that so far as the bonnet shapes and the other property was concerned he had purchased it. He was not aware that there were counterfeit coiners or counterfeit coin in his house until the police told him. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded Burgess until Wednesdaynext, and discharged the other personers. WORSHIP-STREET. ALONE IN THE WORLD. Two wretched-looking boys, apparently about 9 and 7 years of age, were placed in the dock before Mr. Ellison charged with the offence of begging in the public streets. Police-constables 4-45 K said—Yesterday evening I saw these lads knocking at the doors of houses in Bethnal green, and when I asked them what they wanted, they at once said, "We were asking for a bit of bread." I did not notice that any was given to them, and as they could not tell me where they lived, I thought it the best way to take them into custody. Mr. Ellison (to the eldest).—What is your name Boy—Derbyshire, sir. Father lived at No. 4, Tapp street, Spitaltields, before last Christmas, but has gone away now, and mother went away before that. She died, sir. Mr. Ellison—And what have you been doing since Boy—Been getting a job now and then, cleaning knives for people, or anything of that sort. Mr. Ellison—Do you know anything of this boy Constable—He has been locked up before, sir, for sleep. ing in enclosed premises ; that is all. Boy—That was when the cold weather come. Congtahle— I believe that his father did live in Tapp street ; this boy is very badly off, sir—he hasn't any shirt on. Mr. Ellison—You had better take him to the parish in which you found him. What is the name of the other — that child' Boy—Gibbs, sir, my name's Gibbs. I ain't got no father, no mother, no borne. Mr. Ellison—Where are they! Boy—All dead-1 am alone, except him (Derbyshire). I can't do nothing. Mr. Ellison—When did your parents die ? Boy—Ten months after last Christmas. Mr. Ellison—No, not last Christmas? Boy Inodding his head)—Yes it was. Mr. Ellison—Some better way of life than that of begging must be found for these poor boys ; let them be taken to the workhouse. Many such instances of being " alone in the world " are brought under the notice of the magistrates at this court. WANDSWORTH. SCANDALOUS NEGLECT td , CHILDREN. Dora Clement', • tailor, appeared to answer an adjourned suuunons for neglecting to maintain his two children. Mr. W. herring relieving-officer of Clapham, said that on the 22ml ult. he visited the defendant's lodgings in Young's-buildings, Clapham. He found the door of his 200111 locked. lie got it opened, and discovered two children inside the room in a starving condition. They bad not been properly fed or attonded to by their father. lie (witness) took them to the workhouse, where they had greatly improved in their condition. The witness :utile,' that it bad not beet, for him the children would have been starved to death by this time. Mary Tn.lis said she heed in the wens house. The chil dren lit!migisl to the defioulant,who had neglected them. Ile was in the habit of going out in the morning and re- turnioz at night, the children being locked in the room all illy. They looked as if they had not proper food, and were in a very dirty state. Witness and the neighbours had giv en food to the children. The boy was between 11et..0 mid eight years of age, and the girl between four and five. She had seen the father drunk. He had re turned home at 10. 12, and 1 o'clock in the morning. George Buckley said he lived near the defendant, and had heart complaints of the cruel treatment received by the children. At 1 o'clock in the morning on the 19th ult. he went into the defendant's room. The stench was very bad, and the girl who was in bed looked in a starving con dition. The defendant was not at home. Other neighbours were examined, and they fully corro borated the evidence of the other witnesses es to the chil dren being neglected. The defence was that he fed his children on the money he earned, but that he had very little work. metre.—Tinf rt . of Vict or Pvto WhiZe I to b e i i . I. a fraadr.

Inspector Bushnell informed the magistrate that in the night the man was found dead in a cell at the Clapham police-station. Mr. Ingham marked the sheet accordingly, and observed that he supposed that the man had died from intoxica tion. Inspector Bushnell said that was his opinion. A man and his wife, named Littlewood, were charged with being drunk and fighting. The husband appealed to the magistrate's sympathy for • mitigation of punishment, as he was in the cell with the man who died. Mr. Ingham said he was very sorry, but he could not make any alteration in the fines, namely se. each. The husband then asked for the fines to be put upon him alone, and his wife to be allowed to go at large. Mr. Ingham consented, and ordered him to pay 104., the wife being discharged. THE TREATMENT OF THE SICK POOR IN THE gt, LONDON WORKHOUSES. so POOR LAW INQUIRY.—(THIS DAY.) st. St. This morning, Mr. Farnall , C. 8., resumed the me inquiry into the treatment of the sick poor at the Pad- St. 111. dington Workhouse. Ss. Mr. Ernest Hart was present on behalf of the impels- 8 , tion for the Improvement of Workhouse Infirmaries. st. Lady Stephen deposed—l have been a lady visitor here st. for 10 or 12 years, chiefly in the lying-in ward and in 54 84. ward in the female infirmary. To Mr. Hart—l have been often in the female insane IL ward. A woman named Edmunds is the paupe r nurse si'.• in that ward. She is, I should think, about 60 st, years old. The patients in that ward are not all St. insane. Some are consumptive, and persons suffering St. from other complaints are also there. There st. had been bed-ridden patients there for months. Com- Z.- plaints were made of the annoyance caused by a noisy pa gt - tient named Luke. I have been told that the patients St have been obliged to bribe the pauper nurses, and I have et seen the nurses follow the friends of patients from the St. wards. I have reason to believe that the patients are 81 , afraid to complain to the guardians. I have known 7: the nurses to come home intoxicated after being I Z," out on excursion days. I have reported to the matron to that a nurse named Vernon (" Pots and pans") was a very too rough nurse, and that a patient had been neglected by 100 these nurses. I don't think that the matron has time to 10 exercise proper supervision over the infirmaries. The lady St visitors, of whom I was one, applied three years ago to the st. guardians through the then chaplain to provide an addi- u tional ward for infirm women where they would receive St. more comforts than were at that time allowed them. St. They had nothing but benches in the wards, and when BL they were ill they laid down on the floor with an old cloak 9 4 . or some garment under their heads. The guardians said sc. they would take the matter in hand. An arm-chair was st, put in each infirm ward. The nurse sometimes sits in it to —(laughter)—and it is generally left unused. Dr. Edward Byrnes Thompson—l am one of the physicians S - at the Brampton Hospital for Consumption. I was 13 formerly on the staff of King's College Hospital, and was st, house physician there when Mrs. Bateman was nurse. st, Mrs. Bateman came to me and told me she had been some what abruptly discharged from her office as nurse in the workhouse the day after Mr. Poznan and Mr. Smith inspected the infirmary ; and on put ting some questions to her she made a statement to me respecting the treatment of the patients, and I advised her to see Mr. Hart on the subject. I have a very high opinion of Mrs. Bateman's fitness as a nurse. Dr. Henry Maudsley, of the University of London, and for merly resident medical superintendent of the Manchester Lunatic Asylum, was examined by Mr. Hart. He said it was consistent with the proper treatment to restrain an insane patient for three weeks, or even one week, in a straight waistcoat at night. T his restraining treatment was now abolished throughout England. The witness, in reply to Mr. Bere, said if he had a violent lunatic to attend to would put the case in a tingle room, and have a night nurse in attendance. He would have no restraint whatever. The use of a straight waistcoat only made the patient more violent. A guardian said it was denied that what was called a straight-waistcoat had been used. Lady Stephen was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Bere. She said that since the guardians declined to accept the furniture offered by the lady visitors for the infirm women, the ladies had ceased to send complaints to them. The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.] THE GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.-(THIS DAY.) 100 Call Bt. 400 20 8 20/0 all 10 all 100 100 The long-expected and much talked of review of our citizen army, together with several regiments of coun try volunteers, takes place this afternoon, and will doubt less be an imposing spectacle. Since 1864 there has been no display of a similar character in Hyde•park. The main thoroughfares leading to the park are thronged with people, and excursion trains from all parts of the country are hourly depositing large numbers at the various termini. Several thousands of spectators congregated this morning in the park, and took up favourable positions, in the hope that they would be allowed to retain them, but with the arrival of the household troops to keep the ground great numbers would be forced to retire. Many persons perched themselves at the top of some of the highest trees. The arrangements in the park were completed by this morning under the direction of the Commissioners of Works. It as anticipated that nearly all the members of both houses of the legislature will be present, accommoda tion having been provided for them, and it is confidently believed that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Princess will be present. Many of the country volunteer regiments, from Bir mingham, Nottingham, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, &c., arrived inthe metropolislbefore 1 o'clock, and were heartily welcomed. Among the first to make their appearance were the Ist Warwickshire Rifles, a fine body of men, com manded by Major Ratcliff, and numbering nearly 800. They were followed by the bat Administrative Datta lion of Volunteers belonging to the same county, under the command of Colonel Sir J. Hartopp, and numbering about 450 of all ranks. Among the other regiments that arrived early were the let Nottingham Rifle Volunteers, 600 strong, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wright ; the Ist administrative battalion of Derbyshire Rifles, 450, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wilmot, V.C. ; and the first administrative brigade of Berkshire volunteers, under the command of Major Sir Paul Hunter. The places of assemblage of the corps above enumerated, and many others, are Eaton-square, Gloucester and Sussex squares, and Manchester and Cavendish-squares, whence at the time appointed by the War-office they were to march to the park. When the entire force is on the ground, which will not be later than 5 o'clock, it will number little less than 18,000 men. The marching past will not be finished till nearly 7 o'clock, after which the line wiil be reformed, and the troops will leave the ground_ The volunteer staff will consist of the following : Colonel Erskine, DB., Inspector of Volunteers. Aides-de- Camp Lieutenant-Colonel Cochrane, Ist Administrative Battalion of Surrey Rifles ; Lieutenant-Colonel Hogier, Lanark Volunteeers ; Major the Earl of Denbigh, Flint ' shire Rifles ; Captain Templer, Harrow Rifles ; Colonel Wright, Deputy-Inspector of Volunteers, Colonel Bruce, Lieutenant-Colonel Eliot, Colonel J. T. Deston, Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. W. J. Colville, Lieutenant-Colonel Wombwell, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir G. F. Campbell, Major Bruce (Royal Engineers), Deputy-Armistead-Inspectors of Volunteers. The American double-turreted ship, Miantonn mob, Captain Beaumont, accompanied by a paddle steamer, has arrived at Spithead from Queenstown. Herapath says that Mr. Gooch, the chairman of the Great Western Railway Company, has been induced to go out in the Great Eastern. During the month of May 40,000 emigrants ar rived at New York from Europe, making the total since the lit of January 88,710. There is already a great rush to secure berths in the steamers going to Europe next spring by people anxious to attend the Paris Universal Ex position. Although the time is almost a year off, both the Cunard and Inman lines, announce that their state rooms are nearly all taken. The travel t o Europe promises to be enormous. THE LATE MR. JON AS WERE.—Tho statue to the memory of this eminent breeder of sheep has been just erected in the Market place at Cambridge. The likeness is an admirable one—one of Baron Marochetti'e best efforts. This testimony is that of all who for the last quarter of a century knew Mr. Webb. The only regret is that it is so anomalously placed. Unpretendingly the effigy was set tip. It was placed on the pedestal at an early hour on Thursday morning, in the presence of the Mayor of Cam bridge ar.d other members of the committee. A GOODS TRAIN PRECIPITATED INTO BASSEN THWAITR LAKZ.—An accident of a very remarkable kind, and though involving considerable destruction of property, fortunately unattended by loss of life, occured on the Cockermouth, Keswick, and Penrith Railway, yesterday morning. The goods train leaving Keswick about 8 o'clock Teeterday morning broke down at Basaenthwaite es a Lake in consequence of the snapping of one of the axl of waggon loaded with pig-iron. After travelling for about h un dred yards, smashing all the sleepers on the road, whole train with the exception of the break-van and engine were thrown over the embankment on each side, some portions of it being projected into the lake.

I MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONI O'CLOCK. The favourable character of the mercantile news from India and the arrival of an enormous amount of specie (678,0001.) by the Persia, from New York, have imparted decided firmness to the various departments of the Stock Exchange, and prices have improved in many instances. Consols continue in demand for investment, and exhibit a fresh rise of I per cent. British railways, foreign stocks, and banking and financial shares are also better. American securities, however, have given way, upon the advices from New York. The applications for discount to-day are moderate, and the supply of money is good. The rate for choice three months bills is si per cent., or below the Bank minimum. Consols are now quoted 861 to #, ex div., for money, and 861, or 861 to #, for the account (July 10). Turkish bonds of 1862 and 1865 are in good de mand, and have risen 1 and 1 per cent. respec tively. Greek have also improved 1, and Mexi can 1, while Spanish Passive have declined 1. Peruvian Bonds are still inquired for. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 52 to 54 ; ditto of 1865, 271 to 281 ; Greek, 101 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 181 to 19 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to I ; Italian of 1861, 39 to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, 5 to 47 dis. ; and Mexican, 141 to 1. American seenrit'es have experienced a reduc tion ranging from to 1 per cent. 5-20 Bonds are now quoted 64 to # ; Erie R►ilway shares, 41 to 1 ; and Illinois Central, 76 to 1. International Financial shares are now quoted 21 to 21 dis. ; London Financial, 18 to 171 die. General Credit, 2} to 2# dis. ; Credit Foncier 2 to 11 dia. ; and National Discount, 61 to 7 prem. Two O'CLOCK. Consols remain firm, at 861 tog for money, and 86} to for the account. About 16,000/. in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation, but there was lees demand. The Strathnavar has arrived from Sydney with 44,0001. in gold. The foreign exchanges showed no material change yesterday. Short bills on Paris were firmer, while the Vienna exchange was flatter. The rates were as follows: Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.18 to 1119 ; ditto, short, 11.14 to 11.16 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.18 to 11.19 Arimerp, 3 months, 25.50 to 25.60 ; Brussels, 3 months, 25.50 to 25.60 ; Hamburg and Altona, 3 months, 13.81 to 13.8>! ; Berlin, Cologne, he.. 3 months, 6.28 to 7.0 ; St. Petersburg, 3 months, 25 to 24t ; Paris, short, 25.11) to 25.221 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.40 to 25.50 ; Mar seilles, 3 months, 23.40 to 25.50 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 118 to 1161 ; Vienna, 3 months. 14.81) to 15.0 ; Trieste, 3 months, 14.80 to 15.0 ; Madrid, 3 months, 45 to 44 ; Sanbuidev, 3 months, 451 to 454 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Seville, 3 months. 461 to 46; Malaga, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Valencia, 3 mouths, 46t to 46 ; Bar celona, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Bilboa, 3 mouths, 461 to 46 ; VxlLadolid, 3 months, 45 nom.; Saragossa, 3 months, 461 to 46 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 30 to 31.50. non. ; Genoa. 3 tronths, 30 to 31.50, nom. ; Naples, 3 months, 30 to 31.50, nom.; Palermo, 3 months, 30 to 31.50, nom. ; Messina, 3 months, 30 to 31.50, nom. ; Lisbon, 90 days' date, 51 to 50g ; Oporto, 90 days' date, 51 to 501. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes : Coin and bullion lncrease £170,000 Bills discounted Government deposits lncrease 160.(5i0 Notes in circulation Private deposits Advances The chief feature is still the remarkable increase in the coin mi.. bullion. The total held is now ro less than 25,100,0001. At the same time, a dimi nution in the demand for money is shown by the falling off in the discounts. The position of the Bank of France is thus exceedingly strong. Private telegrams to hand from Bombay, dated the 17th inst., mention that news had been re ceived of the failure of the Agra and Masterman's Bank, and that no bad impression had been created thereby, the event having been fully expected. It is also stated that mercantile credits were easily placed, that piece goods were in demand, and that the feeling generally in mercantile circles had much improved. The exchange was quoted 2s. lid. It is is understood that still later intelligence—to the 20th instant—has been received by the Council of India. The impression has been so strong in London of late that the announcement of the stoppage of the Agra and Masterinan's Bank would have a very disastrous effect in India, that the advices now re ceived may be regarded as extremely satisfactory. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr. George Furness, the contractor, who recently failed, an approximate statement was submitted by Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., the accountants. After some discussion, it was decided to adjourn the meeting till Monday next, and Mr. Furness was requested to continue his business as usual. The accountants meanwhile are to furnish any further information which may be required. The Birinisighom Daily Pest announces the stop page of Mr. Thomas Rose, of the Milltields Iron works, with liabilities estimated at about 40,0001. Advices from Halifax also report the suspension of Mr. H. Ambler, worsted spinner and manufac turer, but the liabilities are not expected to exceed about 30,0001. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,487/. over last year. The receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway fur the last week in May amounted to 20,8741, against 17,9811. in the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 2,8931. The total earnings for May were 75,2461., against 36,561/. in the same month of 1865, being an in crease of 8,681. The directors of the East Indian Railway Com pany have just issued their report, in anti cipation of the annual meeting called for the 29th inst. It appears that the receipts have largely in creased during the last year, the gross receipts of 1865 having been 1,678,943/., or 406,367/. more than in 1864. For the year 1865 the ie t receipts were 928,751/. against 625,894/. in 1864. These results are very encouraging. The eighth ordinary general meeting of the Alliance Bank (Limited) will be held on the 13th July, when a dividend is to be declared. The half-yearly general meeting of shareholders of the London Joint Stock Bank is called for the 19th July. The Consolidated Bank (Limited), carrying out the arrangement for resumption of business, which was laid before the meeting, have issued the fol lowing circular to the creditors : Sir,—l am desired by the directors to enclose you cony of the report presented to and unanimously r.dopted by the meeting of shareholders he'd to-day. also (on the other side) a ropy of the resolutions Nand at the meeting.

THE REPRF.SBNTATION OF HERTFORD. —lf rumour can be depended upon, we are likely to have three con servative candidates for the seat which has become vacant through the death of Sir Minto Farquhar. Amongst the • gentlemen already spoken of, are Mr. Robert Limsdale, Lord Mahon, and a member of the Talbot family. Lord Mahon has paid a visit to the town. and is spoken of as a mo.t likely candidate, but it, is said that the conservative leaders are under some engarments to Mr. I)imsdale which prevent them from choosing on the present ocaa. sion. The liberal party has not stirred • and yet there is a prevalent feeling that they would have no difficulty in returning r. second man in the present state of the regiater. —Hertford Mercury.
