POLICE. _ EsTERDAT.

MANSION-HOUSE Hondas° a FAT/Irlt. —John
Doyle WU eharge 1 with having in conjunction with another
person, robbed hie father of property to the amount of be-
tween 200/. to 3031. Martin Doyle, the prosecutor, wko has
been some time in the habit of coming to London to make
bargains in the clothes line, stated that his eon had decamped
from one of his places of business in Dublin, with about 150
coats, and 100 pairs of trousers. By accident a letter had
been found in the possession of one of the companions of the
prisoner soon after his flight, and the witness pursued bins
to Lniclon and apprehended him.—The Lord Isyor Hare
you got any evidence to show that be robbed you of your
clothes?—The Prosecutor Ev'dence ? Why to be sure I
have. Isn't it evidence enough that he had no money at all
in Dublin, and over he comes here, and five sovereigns are
found in hi. pocket. Besides has n't he sent down the man
that came off with him, to Manchester, to d.po•e of a large
quantity of the clothes?—]!r. Goodman : That is not evi-
dence, although it constitutes good ground of suspicion.
The prisoner said he hod been the victim of the most extra-
ordinary persecutions. The person with whom be was
accused was in his father's employment, end as he was
coming to London to try to make his fortune he thought he
would du the same. The fine sore reigns woe part of his own
earnings.—The Lord M ,yor amid it was a serious charge, and
he asked prosecutor whether he thought he should be able to
procure evidence to induce 11,m to send the prisoner to
Dublin?—The prosecutor answered in Uri. affirmative, and
the prisoner was remanded.

MONEY MARKET.

Tx LiIsDAY EVENING.

The appearance of the funds today has been
something like that of ordinary times, with a moderate
activity of business and slight variations of price, scarcely
exceeding the 1 change of the turn at which dealers will
buy tau moment and sell the next. The market at the
opening was more heavy than subsequently, from no other
cause apparently then the unsatistactory reading of the
accounts from Laneriabire. Consols Were quo:ed in decline
at 86; to 7 for money, and 87 to 1 for time ; they left 01l
after trivial fluctuations between these end rather higher
rates, at 86; to 7 money, and 87 time. Upon balance
therefore they were a shade more depressed. Reduced
Theca were 834 to 6. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.,
871 to 8. Exchequer 1:ills made a step in advance at par
to 2s. premium. India Bonds, par to 2 premium.
Console Scrip, to I dis. Bank Stock, 193 to 5. Long
Armudies, 8 15-16 to 9.
Foreign stocks still changed hands but seldom, and only
in small amounts. There is no disposition to deal in them
in times like the present, with money affairs out of order,
and more tempting speculations in the hwme funds, in which
Lusiness can be dime and stock values realised to any extent
with the least delay. One or two bargains took place in Bra-
e lien, which remain quoted at 82 to 4. Chiliaa ob-
tained 92, and were called 91 to 2. Mexican were
19wer at 201 to 1. New Grenada, 191 to 20y. Dutch
came a shade worse from Amsterdam, and declined to day
here, the Two. and-a GeV per Cents. to 581 to 1, the Fours
to 891 to 4. Portuguese 31 to 5 swain:llr. The unfavour-
able nature of the advice' from Madrid .de6p.rcsAsetl.rainSpanish_g_

Fives to 241 to ii, the Threes to 351 to ___ „, to
pris ate advices the Matirid money market was iu a state of
derangement which foreboded something like an approaching
nisi.. It was to be feared that the spirit of speculation'!
wbi_h has been ruling in Spain fur some time past, and ex-
hibited in the shape of innumerable mining and other
scheeles and shares, would conclude like all excesses with
an ihconventent and damaging reaction.
It was suggested yesterday that the short time working in
Manchester and the districts around it might tend ma-
teriel/ to mitigate, if not altogether to obviate, the ill
effects which might otherwise have followed in a full current
of business and employment from existing derangements in
the general money market. Where the o;ieratious are, end
must necessarily be, in a branch of national industry so
giant as the cotton manufacture, carried on to a great ex-
tent upon a speculative anticipated demand in distant
quartets of the globe, from whence the returns must be
slow, it is evident that any intennption to the usual course
of cred.t and banking aceommodation at home could
not fail to be productive of mischief in proportion
with the rigour of the repressive action. It is there-
fore son.ewhat fortunate uhder actual circumstances that
speculative energise were discouraged by the great rise in the
prices of :he raw material so opportunely, and that produc-
tion has been moderated so far as to adjust itself more pre-
cisely to that demand which comes from abroad with hard
money or undeniable credits ta cover it here in hand, than
which no trade can bo more safe, or be less dependent upon
any fluctuations of money values. That a trade of this de-
scription has been carrying on with some, if not with al, the
advantage that could be desired, is in evidence frost
the fact that the exports of textile wares for the
year ending with the 16th of March last have been
materially in advance of those for the previous corresponding
year. The exports for the first three months of the present
year also considerably exceed those for th first quarter of
1846, and whlist it is ignorantly contended in son, quarters
that a very climinithed quantity of cotton fabrics has goo'
forward to the United States this year, we are informed Intl
the circular of Meson. l)u lay and Co., of Manchester, a
most respectable and unimpeachable authority, that the in-
crease to that country alone, to the cod of March last, had
reached
In plain cottons, to about 4 millions of yards.
Dyed and printed, to 41 do.
Whilst to Brazil the nu:Tease was:

or 'dein cotton!.
Dyed sud printed 4, do.
To N.tples and Sicily, increase
In dyedsnd printed li do.
From the impediments of war there wu a decrease in
dyed and printed goods Se Mexico of 31 millions of yank ;
to Trieste, Sardinia, Tuscany, in plain cottons of 5 mil-
lion yards, and in dyed awl printed goods of 2 million. ; to
Portugal, in plain calicos, of 41 millions. So that on balance
the increase was 41 million yards of exports over the corre-
sponding period of last year.
This state of the account is more consoling than might
have been expec'ed. Added to this, it must be remarked
that all accounts agree in representing the home, or what in
Manchester would be called the " country " trade, as in a
satisfactory train, u must naturally result from the high
prices following upon abundant crops of which the agricul-
tural clalocs have had the advantage this year, and the last
in some degree u well.
There can be little question that contracts and purchases
of importance are now making, or negotiating, by American
traders, many of whom have come over expressly to that
end, and many, if not most of whom, will oe prepared to
cover purchases which cannot be much longer delayed with
money or the ►est securities for money. Parties here wall
qualified to form correct conclusions, are therchiro inclined
to think more hopefully of the prospects of the present
position of the cotton manufacture than what some of the
accounts would seem to justify. From the facts stated, it
would appear that r i great money pressure need he appre-
hended in Manchester, so far as the manufacturing trade is
concerned. lf, at all, it must more probably be attributable
to an inconvenient exi co of railway securities and speculation.
