Mr. COmbu—What or, you;
Applicant—l am • labourer.
Mr. Combe—Where do you belong to

atiiend in the world.

a ticket of leave. What was your sentence
sir Applicant—l was sentenced to six years' penal servitude,

Mr. Combe—Then how long did you serve !
Applicant—Ft:car years and a half, sir. You will see that
by my papers, which I want you to sign.
Mr. Combe—These men require me to certify that I
know you to be a respectable man, getting your living in an
honest manner. Now, I know nothing about you. I don't
think I ever saw you before, therefore how ma I sign your
papers?
_ _

Applicant—These papers Ray that I am to go to a magis-
trate to have them signed, before I can get my money.
Mr. Combe—Your papers specify that • magistrate or
minister may sign them provided be knows you. Now I don't
know you. You may still carry on your depredations for

nothing about you.
Applicant then left the coart.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY•)

Two o'Cioox.

The stock markets to-day, though quiet, are
decidedly firm. The funds are well sup-
ported at yesterday's improvement. English
railway stocks are likewise strong, with a
fresh rise in Great Western. As regards foeeign
stocks, there are few movements of interest, in the
absence of active transactions. Preparations for

Tuesday's settlement have commenced to-day in
the share and foreign stock markets.
Consols are now quoted 921 to 4, ex div., for
money, and 921 to 4, ex div., for the account
(Jan. 8). The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 924, 4; ditto
for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Reduced,
92 ; New Three per Cents., 92, ; Bank Stock,
233, 231; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1074, ;
ditto Bonds, 235., 265. prem. ; and Exchequer
Bills, 11s., 7s. prem.
The foreign stock market is inactive to-day, and
prices in most instances are without change. Greek
and Mexican Bonda are steady. The Turkish Loan
of 1854 and the scrip of 1862 are quiet, being
quoted, respectively, 831 to 841 and 24 to
prem. The Turkish Loan of 1858 and Consolidis
have receded per oent., the former being now
quoted 691 to 70, and the latter 384
to 1. Russian scrip is quoted 1 die. to par ;
Venezuelan, 34 to 24 dis. ; Portuguese, 31
to prem. ; and Peruvian, 11 to 1 die.
Transactions are recorded as follows:—Greek,
154, 1 ; ditto Coupons, 61, 4, 6 ; Mexican, 314 ;
Peruvian Scrip, 14, 4 dis. ; Portuguese, 1862, 474 ;
ditto scrip, 31, 4 prem. ; Russian, 1862, 934, 9 ;
Spanish, 54/ ; Turkish, 1858, 694, 70 ; ditto 1862,
paid-up scrip, 701, 71, 704 ; Venezuela scrip, 24,
34 din.

HALT-PAST Two o'Cuicx.
Consols remain quoted 92} to I, ex div., for
money, aqd 921 to f, ex div., for the account.

It has been notified by the Spanish Financial
Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re-
deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the
31st inst., and that 8,138,472 reales have been
assigned by the government for that purpose. The
dividends on the Three per Cent. Consol►dated
and Deferred stocks are announced for payment on
the let of January.
The Teutonia has arrived from New York with
18,0001 in specie for England, and 19,0001. for
France. . . .

Owing to the announcement that the Indian
Council will draw monthly until further notice
1,000,0001. sterling of bills on India, instead of
500,0001. (which supersedes the necessity of sending
500,0001, in silver every month to India), the silver
market has become very flat, and the quotation for
bars exhibits a downward tendency. The remittances
of silver by the next two steamers to the East
are expected to show a considerable falling off as
compered with recent consignments. As but small
supplies, therefore, will be required from the Con-
tinent, there is little inquiry for gold for transmis-
sion thither, and the price of American co in has
consequently receded lid. per ounce. It is not at
all unlikely that a portion of such gold as may be
imported will soon begin to find its way to the Bank
of England.
The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday
afternoon was rather more in favour of this country.
The rates were firm at the following quotations :
Amsterdam, 3 mouths, 11,161 to 1 ; ditto, 3 days,
ILI4 to 1 ; Rotterdam, 3 =MU, 11.161 to 17 ; Ant-
werp, 3 months, 25.421 to 71; Hamburg, ma balm, three
months, 13.61 to 1 ; Par* 3 days, 25.171 to 221; ditto,
3 months, 25.421 to 71 ; Frankforton-the-Mame, 3 months,
1181 to 1191 ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 35 to ;
Vienna, elf. So., 3 months, mo to 20 ; Trieste, eft Go.,
3 months, 111.0 to 20; Madrid, 3 months, 491 to ; Cadiz,
3 months, 49 to 1 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ;
Genoa, 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ; Milan, 3 months, 25.55
to 60 ; Naples, 3 months, 391 to 4 ; Palermo 3 months,
1191 to 4; Marina, 3 months, 1191 to 1 ; brim, 90 days,
5210 t °Porto, 90 days, 524 to 4.
The monthly return of the Bank of France, as
made up to Thursday, the 11th of December, shows
the following results (the exchange taken at 2M. to
the pound) -
Coin and bullion
Bills discounted Damease 1,520.000
Notes in circulation
Private deposits
Treasury deposits
Advances on public securities Demme 920,000
These changes are of a decidedly favourable cha-
racter. The decline in the coin and bullion is at
last checked, and a recovery of nearly 1,000,0001.
sterling has now taken place. The Bank is in a
stronger position, the note circulation having fallen
off heavily. A decided diminution has at the same
time been experienced in the demand for money.
It will be remembered that, in January 1861, the
old-established house of F. Ede, Son, and Co., of
Great Winchester-street, suspended payment with
liabilities to the extent of 951,0001. The estates
have since been in liquidation, under inspectorship,
and payment of 20s. in the pound, on the separate
estates of Mr. Francis Ede and Mr. Samuel Napper,
is now being made, and a first dividend of 12s. Bd.
in the pound on the joint estate will be paid on
Wednesday next. A further dividend of at least
se. in the pound is expected to be forthcoming.
The directors of the Alliance Bank of London
and Liverpool (Limited) have made a call of 5/. per
share, payable on the 12th January, making 171/4
per share called up.
The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Thursday next a special settling day in
the shares of the Union Bank of England and
France, and the Langham Hotel Company. The
shares of the former company are to be marked in
the official daily list, and those of the latter in that
issued twice a week. _ . _

In connexion with a rise of 1 per oent. which
took place yesterday in Great Western Railway
stook, there was a rumour of the resignation of
Mr. Saunders, the secretary.
The second call of 31. is to be paid on the H
Extension shares of the East Indian Railway Com-
pany by the 20th Jan.
The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the
Union Bank of London is convened for the 14th
January.
The Great Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 84L, and the Caledonian an
increase of 4461.

At the adjourned meeting yesterday of the Globe
Insurance Company the directors were authorised
to sign the contract for the amalgamation of the
Globe with the Liverpool and London Insurance
Company. Application is to be made for parlia-
mentary sanction.
We are requested to state that Mr. C. E. Good-
hart, of Hooper's-square, Goodman's-fields, has
joined the direction of the Lebong Tea Company
(Limited).
The Chaa-tsze has arrived from China with
720,700 lbs. of tea.
