Next to them, the only hot es is force were Beet Bower and Alen;

POLICE. Y
- ESTERDAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.— Patrick Leary, a young fellow
who came over from Ireland in the hopping season, was
charged with having broken two windows in the house of
Mr. Jopp, the relieving officer of the City Union. Mr.
Lloyd, assistant relieving officer, stated that about two
o'clock on Saturday last the defendant applied for relief, and
witness requested that he would wait his turn. While wit-
ness was writing down his name he went out, and delibe-
rately broke two panes of glass with a stone.—Alderman
Fatcbrother Prisoner, why did you break the windows,
when the officer was complying with your request ?—Leary :
Why I was in a hurry to get back to my own country, and
they didn't seem to care a pin about it, and I thought the
best way to talk to him was with a paving-stone in my hand.
I want to go off to Ireland at once.—Alderman Farebrother
said the Unions had no longer the power to grant passes.
That authority lay with the parishes ; and as the Irish who
came over to hop were in the habit of sending back their
profits and then returning upon charity, the parochial officers
thought it necessary to exercise caution. The fine tipon the
prisoner was 4s.—The prisoner : I have no money to give
away.—Alderman Farebrother: Then you must go to
Bridewell for fourteen days, and that judgment includes
scanty allowance of food.

CLERKENWELL.—ASSAULT AT A TURNI.Tar. —Mr. J.
Slack, wool merchant, 5, Ilackney-terrace, and Mr. T. Davies,
said to be a professor of mathematics at the Military College,
Woolwich, were charged with violently assaulting W.
Gulliver, a toll collector at Ball'sepond-gate.- -The toll col-
lector deposed that on Sunday evening last, the defendants
and two other gentlemen, who were in a four-wheeled
vehicle, attempted to drive through " the gate," without
paying the toll, or showing their tickets. Mr. Slack was
dnving. Witness asked for the money; the driver said it
had been paid. Witness asked for the ticket, which, not
being produced, he seized Vie reins. Mr. Slack whipped the
pony, and dragged witness in a mast violent manner for fifte
yards, At length a neighbour came to his assistance, and
compelled them to halt. Witness asked for Mr. Slack's
card, but was told by that gentleman that he had not got
one. Mr. Davies gave him a card with no address on it.
Mr. Slack again whipped on the pony. Witness again
seized it, and then Mr. Davies struck him with his umbrella.
Finally the defendants were arrested by a constable.—Mr.
Levy, the lessee of the tolls, gave complainant a good cha-
racter.—The defence of Messrs. Slack and Davies was, that
they had paid the toll at another bar, which cleared them at
the Ball's-pond bar ; that the complainant seized the pony
and dragged the chariot on the kerh stone, so as to endanger
their lives ; that Mr. Davies had the ticket, but was not
allowed time to produce it; and that the conduct of com-
plainant was violent in the extreme; they struck him in
self-defence.—They called a witness, who, however, admit-
ted the assault, but confirmed their account of the violent
conduct of the toll collector.—Mr. Comhe fined them 101.
each.—The money was paid at once.—Mr. Combo mid the
toll-keeper behaved very well, and gave him 5/.
WORSHIP-STREET.—IV, Whitton, a gasman, was
charged on suspicion of being accessory to the death of his
wife, Ellen Whitton, under the following circumstances :
Edward Allen deposed, that, about one o'clock on Sunday
morning, he was proceeding towards the Canal bridge, near
Prichard's-row, Hackney when he heard some persons
quarreling. He hastenetCtowards the spot, and observed the
prisoner and a female standing upon the toeing-pith, and
' distinctly heard the latter use the words, " Sooner than put
up with what you have thought proper to call me, I will
drown myself," and immediately after she threw herself into
the wat r.—Witncas, observing the prisoner making off,
caught hold of him, and said, " You vagabond, are you not
going to assist the woman out i" Prisoner said, " give
you 2s. to do so." Deceased had by this time sunk. Wit-
ness called for assistance, still holding the prisoner, who
made great efforts to escape. Deceased was, in about ten
minutes, got out with the drags. Deceased was conveyed to
the door of the Sir Walter Scott public-house, but could not
get admittance there. Police-constable 165 N said that having
heard cries of " Police," he hastened to the place whence
the noise proceeded, and on arriving there be took charge of
the prisoner, whilst a brother officer fetched Mr. Morgan, a
surgeon, who expressed his opinion that if the house was
opened, the deceased might have been restored. Witness
had made Inquiries about the prisoner's character, which he
found to be very indifferent. He hal been married only
three weeks, and had, during that perim' been corresponding
with another female as a single man Broughton re-
manded him for a week, and gave directions that the beha-
viour of the parties of the Sir Walter Scott should be repre-
sented to the licensing justices.
-

SO LITHWARK.J-baertrtrriox.—Twelve young women
were brought up for breaking windows in St. George's work-
bouae.—The porter of the workhouse stated that the defend-
ants came to the workhouse that morning and demanded ad-
mission. They were informed that they could not be admitted
until the evening, upon which they went away for a short
time and returned with a quantity of stones, with which
they ermmeneed throwing at the windows, and broke several
panes of glass. This they said they did in order to be taken
into custody. They were all casual poor front the country,
none of them having any claim upon that parish.—The de-
fendants one and all said, they were starving about the
streets, and admitted they broke the windows with the view
stated, as it was preferable to be sent to gaol than to be wan-
dering about the streets destitute and starving.—Mr. Seeker
tald the defendants they ought not to have been betrayed
Into such a wilful act se breaking the windows, which the
poor-ratepayers would have to repair; that they ought to
>Ya►e waited until evening, and then they would have been
admitted into the workhouse as casual paupers—The de-
fendants said, they could not wait all that time ; and when
the magistrate proceeded to sentence them to imprisonment
for fourteen days, they exclaimed, "Give us six months,
' fourteen days is no use, we want to have the shelter of •
gaol for the winter rather than be starving about the streets."

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY EYININO.
Since the introduction of such a mass of railway
stock in the last few years, and more particularly within
the last year or two, the ordinary current of stock ex-
change operations has been materially deranged, and diverted
into new channels. Some one hundred millions and more
of a quality of stock equal almost to Consols for security,
and for beneficial interest yielding a much superior return,
have wined capitalists great and small with a larger
variety of eligible securities, and a larger sphere of action,
for the purposes of selection and investment. In the old
routine of stock exchange business the advent of dividend
day was the usual signal for much activity in the funds.
Recipients of dividends carried the product of their Three
or other per cents. to the broker forthwith for reinvestment
in the same securities. Prices rose, therefore, because the
Rothschild', and other moneyed dealers, having speculated
beforehand upon the periodical demand, had bought up the
money stock, and partially commanded their ewn terms of
course for suppplying the demand. Times are changed
wow to a great extent. The annuitants, except for sate
trust and executorship property as may be tied up by
testamentary end other dispositions, now to an
extraordinary degree , carry their funds to the
%away share market, and invest in shares and guaranteed
Tips, where, in the latter at least, they can obtain from 1
to 2 per cent more of annual interest for their money, or say
fro, s 211 to 30 per cent advance upon the rates yielded by the
fund
Re re we have a chief cause why the funds and Exchequer
Bills, instead of advancing upon dividend day, have abso-
lutely iwtrustraded is price. The annuitants dO not come to
market, se expected, so stock remains on the bands of the
dealers and speculators. Consols are now 941 to 6, for
mousy; for time, 95i to f ; Exchequer Bills, lhs. to 16s.
premium, which are the lowest prime, for the latter lower,
that have razed tar some time nest, end this at the very time
when in the viol mune such seearities should be is de_
mend, and at high/ Prices.
, From these renn:ridi It will be anderytivd why with

favourable accounts of revenue, and the absence of politically
disturbing causes, Consols are now, close after the payment
of dividends, not only no higher hut rather lower in price
than before. Reduced Threes are 931 to 4 ; Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 951 to 1. The Bank broker bought
10,0001. Reduced Threes at 91 for the East India Guarantee
Fund. Long Annuities, 91 to 15-16.
Some little excitement may be noticed in Portuguese
stock in the foreign market, in consequence of another
monthly ministerial revolution in Portugal, which by some
ingenious process was construed favourably for the stock.
Probably an order for purchase was received from the new
ministry at Lisbon to initiate themselves popularly on the
Stock Exchange. The general opinion, however, is that
the new Portuguese ministerial convulsion is the result of an
intrigue of Louis Philippe. Portuguese Bonds advanced to
42 to 4. therefore about 1 per cent. better. Spanish Fives,
261 to 7 ; the Threes, 371 to 8 ; Deferred, 17 to 1 ; Passive,
51 to 6. Mexican, 236 to 1. Brazilian, 85 to 7. Buenas

MEXICAN LOAN AFFAIR9.—The bondholders have no
news yet of Senor Murphy, although it is understood
that he has been in daily communication with certain select
members of the Spanish American Committee, who pro-
bably have been discussing, paragraph by paragraph, the
forthcoming manifesto of his late Excellency's justification
of the conversion scheme. It is strange that a s.mple state-
ment of the truth should require so many days of prepara-
tion. The delay may, however, suit perhaps the account of
some mem`.ers of the Stock Exchange, if not of some of the
Spanish American Committee, who are known to have
always taken a particular interest in Mexican and other
Spanish American stocks in the loan line. In the meantime
the house of agency, a house of respectable repute in mer-
cantile business, would do well to reflect upon their own posi-
tion in this unhappy affair. They have been called
upon to make a public statement of their opera-
tio-a under the conversion scheme; to state what
amount of bonds, active and deferred, has been converted.
Above all, to state what proportion, if any, of the stipulated
share of newly created bowls has been disposed of, and how
much on hand. Reports are current of certain declarations
made to the Spanish American committee, at the time when
the conversion scheme was under discussion, by parties well
known to be in close connexion with them, which require to
be verified by a true statement of facts. There is such a
thing, even for committee men, as very clever people over-
reaching themselves. One of these days we trust to have a
veritable history of Spanish American loan affairs, which
may include also certain relations of drowning*, by hundreds
or thousands, of recruits for the patriot cause in unseaworthy
ships, such as might be the fate of the unhappy Irish who
should be seduced now to embark in the desperate for-
tunes of General Flores of the Ecuador.
