THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1863.

charged before Mr. Barker with violently assaulting his
wife, Martha, underiE provoking circumstances.
The complainant s that the defendant, on Satardsy,
returned horns the for liquor, and began abusing and
aseaulting her. He seized her by the neck, and said be
would not give her two black eyes this time, but would
stave in her b— ribs. He then struck her several times
in the ribs and in the body and caused her great pain. Not
content with this violence, he struck her in the face and
blackened one of her eyes.
Mr. Barker inquired if he had not seen the complainant
before at this court, charging her husband with assault.
Complainant—Oh, yes. He behaves in a very brutal
manner to me. The prisoner has been sent from this court
to prison five times for assaulting me ; and I have forborne
to appear against him more than twenty times ; and on
more than one cocesion I have begged him off.
Mr. Barker—Does the prisoner work to support you and
his family?
Complainant—He does work a little, but he drinks all
he works for.
Mr. Barker—Then you have to feed and clothe him ?
Complainant—l do. I have a family of eight children
to support, and have to work from morning to night at the
washtub while he is out drinking and smoking.
The ',rhymer said he was very sorry for what he had done.
His wife did all she could to aggravate him, and cause him
to strike her. . . .

Police-oonstable Willingale confirmed the complainant's
statement as to the prisoner having been sent to prison for
assaults on his wife. The prisoner would not appear to the
summons. The last time he was here he was sent to prison
for three mouths and ordered to find bail for three months,
but the latter term was remitted on the application of the
wife. _

Mr. Barker sentenced the prisoner to one month's hard
labour in the House of Correction.

WESTMINSTER.
A DCBfIIATT OAIIO OF TRIMS.

Two fellows of the most forbidding appearasee, wearing
dirty flannel jackets, who gave the names of Henry Matters
and John Dirfaun, were placed at the bar, charged with
being concerned in the following most disgraceful felony.
Elisabeth Burnham, of 35, Idedway•strest, Horseferry-
road, Westminster, said—At ten last Saturday night I was
standing in Tothill-strest, Westminster, with • friend,
when the prisoner Chatters crossed over to me, and my
friend having said that he was about to make a grab at my
shawl, I moved away. Directly after I saw Chatters steal
two watches.

Mr. Selfe—How did he steal them?
Witness—They were in a shop window, and he broke it.
He dashed hie elbow through the window, and having made
• large hole, put his hand in and took out two silver
watches. He then ran away with them, followed by the
other prisoner sad the other.
Mr. Salfe—Who were the others! _ _

Witness—A gang of six men besides themselves, who
were lurking about the place.
Mr. fielfe—Had you seen the two prisoners together before
the robbery?
Witness—Yes. They were on the other side of the way
talking just before, when Chatters =seed over, and directly
after the robbery they ran away together.
Mr. Selfe—Are you positive they are the men?
Witness—Quit. positive.
Mary Ann Hewett—l was with my friend, the last witness,
and raw them do it. They were going to steal my friend's
shawl before that.

William Speaklee 253 A—l heard an alarm given, and
lowed the prisoners, who were running. As they crowed
Victoriaatireet Chatters dropped one of the watches. I still
pursued, and took him into custody.
Emmanuel Davis, 2314 A—l sow the two prisoners
together shortly before the robbery. There were six more
standing about with them.
Prisoners were remanded.

REPEAL OF THE MALT DUTY.-(THIS DAY.)

An important meeting of representatives of
farmers' clubs and associations in various parts of England,
and of others interested in the subject, was convened by
the Keel County Association for the Repeal of the malt
duty this afternoon at the Bridge House Hotel, London-
bridge ; the object being to " form a central society, and
to eassider the best coarse to be taken to bring the question
of the repeal of the malt duty before the immediate atten-
tion of the government and of the House of Commons."
The meet bag originated in a discussion which took place
on the same 'abject at the last monthly meeting of the
Central Fannon' Club, when strong opinions were
expressed is favour of forming • central asso-
ciation to agitate the question, and also of appointing
• deputation to wait at an early period upon the Chancellor
of the Ezehequer to represent the views of the farming in-
terest as to the injurious operation of the malt tax.
The chair was taken by Lord HOLIEISDALS,

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocir.

The funds are slightly flatter to-day, and Consols
have experienced a relapse of about 1 per cent. ;
but the other departments of the Stock Ex-
change are generally firm. In the market
for English railway stocks the tendency of prices is
still favourable. Italian Five per Cents. have
fallen, upon the financial intelligence from Turin,
but otherwise the foreign stock market is firm, with
an upward movement in prices.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented; opened at
170 fr. 50c., being 1 per cent, lower than on Saturday.
Consols are now quoted 921 to for money, and
92/ to 93 for the account (March 5). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 921, 1 ; ditto for account, 93 ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, j ; New
Three per Cents., 93, 921, 93 ; Red Sea Telegraph,
21/ ; India Five per Cent. stock, 1081 ; ditto for
account, 1081 ; and Five-and-a-Half per Cent.
" enfaced" rupee paper, 112.

Italian Five per bents. have fallen, on the re-
quest of the Minister of Finance to the Cham-
bers at Turin for a new loan. The last Rus-
sian Loan has again declined. Greek Bonds are
steady. Turkish securities, with the exception of
the Loan of 1854, which has given way, have
risen to 4 per cent. Mexican and New
Granada Deferred Bonds have advanced. Some of
the present quotations are annexed :-Turkish
1854 loan, 89 to 4 ; ditto, 1858, 734 to 74 ;
ditto, 1862, 704 to 1 ; the Consolidea, 414 to
42 ; Venezuela Six per Cents., 604 to 61,
being rather firmer ; Greek, 204 to 4 ;
and the New Peruvian Loan, 881 to 894.
Transactions are recorded as follows :-Cbilian,
831; Egyptian, 1004, 100 ; ditto, second
issue, 991, 100, 991 ; Greek, 201 ; ditto
Coupons, 9, 4 ; Italian, for account, 691,

_
Forts o'CLocs.
Consols remain quoted 921 to for money, and
9.4 to 93 for the account.
The amount of gold taken to the Bank on Satur-
day was 58,000/.
Letters from Madrid state that a report was
spread there that the Bourse of Paris is about to
relax its prohibition of Spanish securities so far as
to admit the quotation of the shares of the Com-
mercial Credit Company of Madrid. This is wholly
untrue ; for, on a renewed application being made
to the authorities of the Paris Bourse, though it
was supported by a strong influence, the request
was decidedly refused.
We have received a copy of some correspondence
which has recently passed between Mr. Montague
R. Leverson and the Committee of Spanish Certi-
ficate holders. Mr. Leverson has framed, and is
apparently urging at Madrid a plan for extinguish-
ing the Certificates by merging them into the capital
of a new joint stock association, for which he hopes
to obtain concessions from the Spanish government.
In a letter dated the 10th inst. the Committee state
that they "do not perceive that they can, consist-
ently with the principle by which they have always
been governed in the discharge of the trust confided
to them, connect themselves with the proposed
association."
