THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1864.

past 11 o'clock the previous evening be was ou duty in the
promenade at Her Majesty's Theatre, when he saw the pri-
soner and two other gentlemen and three females apparently
coming from the refreshment department at the back
of the orchestra. He saw the prisoner strike one
of the females, and knock her down. He told the prisoner
sot to behave in such a violent manner, and some of the
others picked the female op. The prisoner thee behaved in
a very violent manner, and said he would knock anyone
down who came near him. As the prisoner was drunk, sad
refused to be quiet, he was obliged to take him into custody.
Inspector Kettle, A division, proved seeing the prisoner
having high words with one of the females, and hearing a
fall. He afterwards saw a female picked up, sad heard the
prisoner ear to one of the females, , You —, ru knock
you down." The prisoner also threatened to knock him
(the inspector) &co._ . . . . .

- . .
In answer to Mr. Herring, inn., the inspretor said it
was the first night of the concerts, but there was no
general disturbance. The female need bed language to the
prisoner. The female did not charge the prisoner with
assaulting her.
Mr. Herring, jun., &detrained the magistrate on the pri-
soner's behalf.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was one of those disgr►ceful men«
which frequently ocestred, ►nd that if the woman had
attended to give evidence the prisoner would have found
himself in ► very different position.
The prisoner was then fined 40n, or a month's imprison-
ment.

WANDSWORTH.
FIGHTING FOR • BM= -DISGRACEFUL PROCIIDINGS.

Ro4ert Crick and George Vs,eeat, both journeymen
bakers, who appeared to have been well punished by the
black eyes and bruises on their faces, were brought before
Mr. Nyman charged with fighting for a stake of 10a. a side
in South.fields, on Sunday morning last.
The charge was not denied. Vincent, who was greatly
disfigured about the famktold Sergeant Usher that Crick was
urged on to fight by his muter, and that he was to fight till
he dropped.
Crick here said it was false.

Sergeant Usher also stated that Vincent said they were
backed by Jenkins and Nat Longhair', two fighting men.
The prisoner corrected the witness. He mid he did not
tell the officer that they had bore tacked by them, but
seconded. Nobody backed them, as they backed them-
selves.

Sergeant Usher informed hie worship thathe had a witness
who saw the prisoners fighting.
Mr. Nyman said it wee not to hear the wit.
*mesa, as the prisoners admitted the c He ordered
each of them to find two sureties in the sum of 204 for their
good behaviour for the neat three months.
The prisoner Crick wished to 'chime his worship. He
said they did not altogether go out to fight for a stake.
Mr. Myrna', said he ao:epted their own statement that
they bad backed themselves. For two men to go out to
fight for a stake wee sheer blackguardiera, particularly when
it was on a Sanday.
Mr. Miller, • baker of Soath-street, Wandsworth, and
another housekeeper, became bail for Crick, and Mr. Bailey,

MT.LAIct* BOLT AFFAIR AT HOLLI NWOOD. —On
Sunday evening, a child, about three years of age, named
James William Taylor, son of Joseph Taylor, Cotton-street,
Copsterhill, Holliewo;c1, near Oldham, was accidentally
shot by his oonsin, Joshua Cartwright, son of James Cart-
wright, of the same place. It appears that James Cart-
wright bought • gun • short time ago, and he has been
in the habit of amusing his little nephew by allowing
him to fire of perensidoe caps. A man, named But-
terworth, came to borrow Cartwright's gnu on Sunday
forenoon, for the purpose, as he said, of shooting at a
flock of starliags. He returned the pa shortly after-
wards still loaded. saying the birds had disappeared, and,
taking of the cap. hung the weapon on the ceiling, not
omitting to ten Cartwright that it was charged. About
half-past 4 in the afternoon, the child Taylor came in, and,
outing Ilia eyes towards the gun, said, " Let me shoot ;"
whereupon Cartwright took down the pa, forgetting that
it was loaded, and put on • cap. He thee took the little
fellow between his knees, bat the child would not draw the
trigger. Joshua Cartwright, a boy of 13, then took the gun
and -pulled the trigger. The contents of the gun lodged in

and returned to the establishment at Liverpool, be had for
the first time returned to his origins! performances upoo
the trapeze, at • height of 52 feet from the ground. He had
not been on the rope lace, and was about to perform the
feat of suspending himself by the toes, when, in making
the spring necessary, he fell to the ground upon his hands
and knees, and his head struck upon the earth with en-
aidemble violisoos. The spectators, as might be expected,
wore horroretrickee, sad the performer was removed from
the ring insensible, Mr. Folker attending him. It was at
first thought that his injuries were very serious, if not
fetid, but we are glad to say that no saver, injuries have
been sustained, and it is probable that the performer will
shortly be in • condition to resume his eugagementa.

ATTEMPT OT A MOTHER TO MURDER FOUR CHIL-
DREN. —Yeutorday the utmost excitement prevailed in the
neighbourhood of the Victoria Docks in cossequence of •
rumour that a woman had made • most desperate attempt
upon the life of four of her children. The would.he
murderess resides at 17, Bell and Anchor Cottages near
to the Victoria Docks, her husband, a man named Ph ilbric,
being employed on the Pier-head, adjacent to the docks.
It appears that Mrs. Pbilbric, who has hitherto berm
the character of • kind parent and affectionate wits,
prepared the breakfast for her family in her nand
m about 7 in the morning ; but immediately
on her buaband's departure she desired the eldest
child, a boy about ten years old, to go at once to
bed again. The boy hod no sooner got into bed than
she rushed at him with a poker and struck him on the
head. She then procured • razor, and, in spite of the
violent screams and struggler of the poor little fellow,
she succeeded in inflicting • wound in his throat. Although
shockingly wounded, the boy contrived to escape into the
street, tad by his cries for assistance alarmed the neigh-
bours, several of whom rushed into the house and suc-
ceeded in preventing the wretched woman from murdering
the three other children. The boy was at own conveyed
to the Poplar Hospital. where be lies in a precarious con-
dition. Mrs. Phdbric was removed to the West Ham
Union wider the charge of the police, sod the medical men
who were called in pronounced her to be insane.

MONEY MARKET.-(IBIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocw.

In the absence of unfavourable intelligence, the
stock markets to-day are firmer. Support is given
to prices by the somewhat easier appearance of the
money market. The improvement in the funds
does not exceed 1-16th to it per cent., but home
railways and most of the speculative foreign stocks
are a fraction better.

The discount market is rather easier to-day, and
there is more disposition to transact business in
first class bills at 8/ per cent., being 1 below the

The abundance of money in the Stock Ex-
' change cannot be regarded as a particularly
healthy sign, although it certainly indicates
an unusual degree of caution on the part
of the financial community. Bankers, discounters,
and other firms, who feel the necessity, in these
uncertain times, of keeping large reserves, find their
objects answered by employing them on the Stock
Excbauge in this way, with the facility of imme-
diately recalling them, when required ; and it is,
of course, ou account of the convenience of this
system to them that such loans now command
only 4 teereent., while the current rate of discount
is Reserves, however, must be kept, and 4 per
cent. is worth taking, even in these days of dear
money.
A rumour comes over from the Continent
that the Italian government is contemplating an
early appeal to the money market for a new loan,
the amount of which, having regard to the heavy
expenditure of the government, would doubtless be
large. It is presumed that the bulk of the loan,
whenever the condition of the money market allows
it to be introduced, will be taken, as heretofore, in
Italy and Paris, but perhaps subscriptions may
also be invited in London.

The period for the introduction of the Egyptian
Loan for 5,000,000/. sterling depends greatly upon
the
_course of our money market ; but, cir-
cumstances permitting, it will probably be issued
about November. The loan is intended to cover
liabilities already incurred here and in Paris, re-
presenting very nearly the amount above mentioned,
and which become due during the next twelve-
months. There liabilities consist of 2,400,0001.,
due by the Viceroy of Egypt to the promoters of
the Suez Canal, on the arbitration of the French go-
vernment ; 750,000/., due to the Egyptian Trading
Company ; and Treasury bills to the amount of
about 2,00,C301., held in London and Paris. A
large portion of these liabilities have accrued
through the purchase here of agricultural imple-
ments and machinery, chiefly required for the cul-
tivation of cotton. It is thus believed that the loan
will involve uo drain of gold from England.
It is quite evident that nothing but the existing
stringency in our money market saves us from the
introduction of numerous loans for foreign states.
Peru, Egypt, and Italy, will probably be amongst
the earliest applicants.
About 45,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank

With reference to the wine and spirit trade, the
circular for Australia of Mr. F. W. Cosens con-
tains the following

Siam the departure of the August mail, there bag bees a
solimiable revival in the demand for most descriptions of
wino and spirits. The clearances for home eousumpticse
are well maintained ; for the port of London slow they are
as ender:—August, 1864: Brandy, 115,203 gallon; rum,
96,966 gallons; wine, 525.921 gallons. August, 1863:
Brandy, 87,340 ; rum, 92,C33 ; wits°, 445,504. It is quite clear
from them totals that the general demand must be good.
The brandy market is fiat, consequent upon more favour.
able amounts from Cognac respecting the vintage. Rum
has been in domain', and sales made at improved rates.
Sherry and port have been more enquired for, but holders
of good round qualities are not disposed to accept anything
but fair prices. The latest advice• to band from both
Sydney and Melbourne Sr. especially unfavourable, and,
although the exports from hence are not upon an alarming
male, it is diffkult to see how, with diminished means at
command, the colouista are to Gomm* them within • res.
amiable period; of wine especially, the shipments have been
for name months on a liberal scale ; the bulk, however, will
probably peeve to be of inferior quality, found unsaleable
here, and which has been shipped as a last resource, the
facilities foe hypothecatioo being apparently as great as ever.
Wins—Sherry: The export of this wine from Cadiz con-
tinues upon a pinch more moderate scale than during the
early months of the year; the vintage as a whole would, it
was anticipated, prove more productive than was at first
expected ; the total yield, however, would not be up to an
average, the quality eipsteed to be fine. Prices were well
maintained, but peodnu the vintage. few tramacticine me
reported. Port: from Oporto the advice. are somewhat
ocafiicting ; the yield of the vintage will probably be found,
although ler than that of but year, a fair average.
