In the cases which were proved to have occurred in the public streets, a fine of ss. was imposed. The demoralising habit of street gambling seems to have taken strong root in certain parts of the town, and calls loudly for stringency on the part of the police. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—An athletic sailor, named Henry Brown, was charged by constable 176 with being drunk on the previous day, in Williamson-square. The officer stated that this man's conduct was very violent ; amongst other outrages, he took a stick from a poor blind man, and knocked him down with it. Mr. Mansfield regretted that the blind man was not present, as then he would have treated the case as one of assault. In the absence of this evidence, he was fined ss. for being drunk. A MAN-CATCHER.—A man, named Joseph Corrigan, was remanded on a charge of having obtained the sum of 193. from a young woman under false pretences. The latter had come over from Ireland for the purpose of emi grating to America. She was met by the prisoner, who represented that he could obtain a passage for her for 19s. Having secured the money, he decamped. IRISH MENDICANCY.—A ragged Irishman was charged with begging on the previous day. An officer took him into custody ' • and on his person were sd. and a large quantity of bread. He stated that be was not married, but it was ascertained that he has a wife and four children. In reply to a question from the magistrate, he said he had not been in Liverpool longer than a month. Several police-officers agreed in stating that the man has pursued the avocation of a professional beggar in Liverpool for the last four years. He refused to be cent back to Ireland, and was, therefore, committed for twenty-one days. REPItEH ENSIBLE PR ACTlCE.—Aboarding,-housekeeper, named Edward Waiters, was charged with having stolen a shipping note, and obtaining money on it. William Lister, a sailor of colour, stated that, on Saturday, he shipped on board a vessel, and obtained an advance note. As he was standing near Whitechapel, holding the note in his hand, the prisoner came up with another man and snatched the note away. Subsequently he saw Lister, and offered to give him a portion of the amount of the note, alleging that the latter was in his debt. The note, it appeared, was cashed by Mr. Moorhonse, of Paradise street, who wrote Lister's name to it, under the direction of Walters, who attached his mark as though he was the person to whom it belonged. Mr. poorhouse said he . had done this in consequence of 'Walters having told him never to cash the notes of " his men" without he was present, and he (Moorhouse) thought that the seaman in notice. in this instance was at the door.

Bates., one of the inspectors of the detective department Wheat. ~ Red „ „ 39a. Od. t° i 3436 of police, received information of an extensive robbery of Barley cotton from a warehouse ; he, in consequence, proceeded Oats to one of Mr. Harbord's warehouses in Hoyle-street. Malt . Room No. 3, of this warehouse was occupied by Messrs. Flour . Molyneux, Taylor, and C 0.,. as a store for cotton. It 445 was apparent that a great number of bales had been opened. large " flakes" abstracted, and the bales then re. sewn. The extent, of the depredation may - be imagined when it is stated that, in 30 bales, the defiCiency amounted to 7cwt.. Bates next proceeded'to a marine-store, situated in the same street, and kept by a man named Henry O'Haral: here, in a loft, lie found six bales filled with clean cotton. O'Hara's wife was in charge of the place; she admitted that the cotton had been boughtilut, when asked to account for it more particularly; produced two bills of - a- small quantity of dirty cotton. There was no entry in the books of any cotton purchased since April ; in fact, by the books, the purchases since Christmas did not exceed one cwt., whereas,. the weight of the bales seized by Bates was at least three cwt. It had been examined., and was found to sample exactly with the bulk of the cotton in Mr. Harbord's warehouse. O'Hara's wife was immediately apprehended on the charge of hav ing received the cotton with a guilty knowledge. Bates asked for a remand in order that Messrs. Molyneux, Taylor, and Co.'s warehouseman might be examined in connection with the charge. Mr. Mansfield remanded the case to Friday next, and refused to take bail for the Mr. THOMSON asked the chairman whether he was aware that the Royal Bank was or was not in a responsible TA JOilud FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE I ‘` s " - the 4 ll/ . 4 - o v,, Consols opened 1004- and rose to g: price on record for money and account.

The Cotton market was firm, but without the previous excitement which had prevailed; and the business amounted to 10,000 bales, of which• 4,000 were for speculation and export. The news from Jamaica and Havanna• brought by the Europa were favourable to a further advance in sugar and other colonial produce. Our market yesterday, however, may be characterised as " quiet," so far at least as the amount of transactions are con cerned, but prices remained very firm ; and no doubt when the state of the crops in these countries is more known, we shall witness a revival of active business. The sales, including Saturday's operations, comprised 110 hhds. Demerara, at 31s. to 335., in cluding vacuum pan at 355. to 355. 6d. ; 30 hhds.

THE continued influx of gold, and its alleged non effect upon prices, puzzle most of our commercial community, and opinions with respect to it are as various on 'Change as the qualities of any of the principal articles dealt in. From some quarters we hear wonder expressed that it has not sent railway shares up to extreme prices, and others point to the funds, and ask why they are not above par ? These parties, however, omit from their consideration that, so far as these securities are concerned, their price is only capable of being enhanced by a decrease in the interest, not the value of money. The general opinion is progressing every day that produce, land, and every other realized property throughout the world—produce, however, first—are on the eve of a striking advance ; but the difficulty of determining where the movement will commence, or how it will operate, deters many parties from speculative pur chases. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 22d of May gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits Other deposits Rest .. .. £5,132,209 ; Increase £866,534 13,738,837 ; Decrease 102,548 3,126,171; Increase 450 On the other side of the account — Government securities £13,833,241 ; Increase 381,584 Other securities.. .. 10,662,923 ; Decrease 102,658 Notes unemployed .. 12,803,045 ; Increase 656,180 The amount of notes in circulation is £21,304,445, I being a decrease of £365,790; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £20,628,734, show ing an increase of £323,828 when compared with the preceding return. Extreme dullness has again been the characteristic of the Share market during the past week, and prices have receded sufficiently to bring out some loan stock upon the market. A disappointment in an arrangement to take up a large bill account in London caused a considerable quantity of stock to be thrown on the market at the settlement, and this tended to increase the heaviness. To-day prices have rallied a little, and we close with a decidedly better look. Gold mines continue very dull.

Our produce market during the week was active, and up to Friday a large business was done in SUGAR, at an advance of 6d. per cwt. COFFEE was also in good demand, and TEA, of good con sumable sorts, was inquired for. Wool.—We have had but little doing here dur ing the week, in consequence of the attention of the trade being at present engaged with the London sales, which are reported to be going off with very great spirit. The prices for good Wools are 2d. per lb. higher than the February sales, and for East India Jrd. higher. CorroN.—The advanced prices paid up to the making up of last week's circular were scarcely maintained on Saturday and Monday, some quali ties having given way 1-16 d. per lb. The arrival of the Niagara, however, gave a stimulus to business ; and the sales up to Thursday night wore 104,730 bales, of which speculators took 31,79 0 , exporters 16,390, and spinners 56,556 bales; prices leaving off at an advance of 1-16 d. over the previous Fri day's quotations. The sales of Friday and Saturday were 25,000 bales, of which about one-half were taken by speculators and exporters, and the remain der by the trade, at full prices.

An adjourned meeting of this Board was held last even ing ; present, John Laird, Esq., in the chair, and Messrs. Milnes, Gough, Bailiff, Greene, Rae, Cook, Lightbound. Graham, Pritchard, Watson, and Thomson. The proceedings of the Lighting and Watch, the Health, the Market, the Road and Improvement Com mittees were read and confirmed. On the minutes of the latter committee being read, Mr. RAE asked whether any steps had been taken to abate the nuisances which took place on Sundays in the neighbourhood of the Park, by the assemblage of dis graceful characters ? Mr. WATsoN replied that the transactions alluded to by Mr. Rae took place outside the township boundary, and beyond the jurisdiction of the Commissioners ; but, for the protection of the park itself, there were seven policemen on duty every Sunday. FINANCE COMMITTEE After the minutes of this committee had been read, Mr. GREENE inquired whether the chairman of the Finance Committee knew that the township bonds, in possession of the Royal Bank, had been sold, and, if so, whether the Commissioners had any protection for the £4,000 or £5,000 security they held on those bonds ? Mr. 'WATSON said the committee had not received any notification of the fact. Mr. GREENE said such was the fact, and a sale note had been given for them. He wished therefore to know whether the Commissioners were protected Mr. WATSON said he was not competent to give an answer to the question. He should, however, like to know if Mr. Greene could inform him what they were sold for ?
