POLICE.-YESTERDAY.

GUILDITALL.—CHAItOIt OP FOP.OEUT.---Johrt If
Collinguax4 was placed at the bar before Sir Win. Magnay
charged with uttering a forged bill of exchange for 341.,
knowing the acceptance of the same to be fictitious. Mr.
Wontner observed that it was rather hard that the prisoner
should be brought up on a charge like this, when the point
was precisely the same on which a jury on the previous day
had decided in his favour and he was discharged. It ap-
peared that on the 11th of September he was brought to
this court on a charge of uttering a forged promissory note
for 201. to Solomon Cowan, a bill-broker, and also for
uttering another for 241. to Barnett Joseph. The accept-
ance was represented as being the father's, upon which
he obtained the money. On the bills becoming due,
the parties proceeded against the father for the several
amounts, upon which he denied having ever accepted them,
and swore to that effect. The prisoner was committed for
trial, and at the Old Bailey on Monday be was tried and on
both indictments acquitted, in consequence of his father
stating that on many occasions he had accepted bills for his
son,. and it was possible he might imagine he had authority
to sign his name in these instances. Upon his discharge at
the Old Bailey he was immediately taken into custody on
the present charge.—Sir William Magnay asked Mr. Taylor
if the present charge turned upon the same point as that on
which the prisoner had been discharged at the Old Bailey ?
Mr. Taylor replied that it did. Ile considered the jury had
come to a wrong conclusion respecting the cases before them.
—Sir William Magnay replied that under those circum-
stances he must discharge the prisoner, as the father would
again be the principal evidence against his son. The pri-
soner was accordingly discharged, but was again immediately
given into custody, for the purpose of conveying him before
the magistrates at Worship-street, to see if they would not
come to a different conclusion, but in a short time afterwards
he was brought back, when Mr. Taylor explained, that find-
ing the transaction had taken place in the City, he wished
for the prisoner's discharge again.—Discharged accordingly.

CLERKENWELL.—ROBBERY AT AY APPLE-STALL.—
Mary Sol/iron was brought up on remand, charged with
stealing two yards of cloth. Charles Nicholson, a youth
about 14 years of age, stated that as he was passing along
the High-street, Islington, towards the residence of his
father, who kept a tailor's-shop at Potter's-bar, he stopped
to buy some apples from the prisoner, who keeps a fruit-
stand, and when putting his hand in his pocket to pay her,
he laid down a parcel be was carrying, containing two yards
of cloth, in one of her baskets, and walked away without re-
membering it. On discovering his loss, he returned, but she
denied that he had left anything of the kind on her stall
Constable Walker said after her denial be went to her lodg-
ings, and found the cloth concealed in the ticking of the bed.
—The prisoner, who (lid not attempt to deny the facts of the
case, was committed for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Goon INTENTIoxs.
Mr. Martin, whip-maker, of Burlington Arcade, sum-
moned Mr. Asser, florist, Burlington Arcade, before Mr.
Hardwick for an assault.—The complainant said he was in
his shop on Friday last, when the defendant soddenly rushed
in, seized him by the collar, struck him a violent blow on the
chest, and afterwards gave him a blow on the head with a
whip. Ile said he had recently taken a younger brother to
laying up, to teach his business, and to stand in the relation
of a parent to him. On the day when the assault took place,
he told the boy to go on a business errand ; the boy neglected
to do so, and when reminded of his neglect, and told to go at
once, he flatly refused. The boy persisted in his misbe-
haviour, and complainant took up a stick to correct him with
it; the boy struggled with him, and he then caught up a
whip, and gave the boy several strokes over the shoulders.
It was the noise produced by the scuffle that had apparently
attracted the attention of the defendant, and induced him to
interfere.—Mr. Asser, in defence, said he heard the cries of
the boy, and he saw the boy being severely beaten with a
whip by the complainant. Out of humanity, he went into
Mr. Martin's shop to protect the boy, and the only way he
interfered was by seizing the whip and separating the par-
ties.—Mr. Hardwick said the defendant had evidently inter-
fered from a good motive ; but his zealous and mistaken
humanity had led him into greater violence than was justifi-
able. For the assault on the complainant, the defendant
must pay the tine of 40s. and costs.—The defendant said he
thought it was a very hard case. However, in future, he
would take care never to interfere on behalf of beaten boys,
whatever the amount of violence exercised on them.

MONEY MARKET.

TUESDAY E-ENING.

The Consol-market was not so well supported to-
day, although in the morning prices were rather more stiff,
as if likely to advance upon the improved quotations of the
day before. Later on, however, a partial re-action began,
and Consols reezded to 9•il to 1 for money, and 0•i1 buyers
fir time. The difference less betwixt these closing quota-
tions and those -of yesterday may be called about 1 per cent.
Exchequer-bills, 14s. to 17a. premium. India Stock 2.38
to 260. To-morrow being the Whitefost-day, so religiously
observed among the Hebrew people, it is likely to be a quiet
day in stocks, unless some particular political intelligence
should transpireto affect prices and give an impulse to specu-
lation.
In the Foreign-market the chief business has been the
settlemeat of account, which being a light affzir, and with
immaterial fluctuations of prices, was adjusted without diffi-
culty. Little speculation is abroad just now, although the
attention of dealers and speculators is keenly directed
to the Peninsula, and to the movements of parties
here, or over the water, known or presumed to
be mixed up with the party and political machinations
more or less actively at work, from which events are expected
to come off that might lay the foundation for the sort of
excitement which constitutes the delight of stock exchange
existence. Prices meanwhile undergo little variation, whilst
business is so inactive. Spanish Fives are 261 to 1 ; the
Threes, 371 to 1 ; Deferred, 17 to 1 ; Passive, 51 to 1.
Portuguese 40 to 2. Mexican, 25 to 1. Brazilian, 88 to 9.
, Buenos Ayres, 42 to 4. Chilian, 101 to 3. New Granada,
201 to 11 ; the Deferred, 31 to 4. Venezuela, 42 to 3. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 591 to 1 ; the Fours, 941 to 8.
Danish, 88 to 90.

Foreign Exchange was firm, and in some cases a shade
higher. The negotiations were, on Amsterdam, 12 61 to 71 ;
on Rotterdam, 12 71 to d : on Antwerp, 26 5 to 10; on
Hamburg,l3 13 to I ; on Frankfurt, 1211 to 1; on Paris,
26 to 26 21; on Vienna, 10 8 to 9 ; on Leghorn, 30 50 to 55 ;
on Naples, 391 to 40 ; on Madrid, 361 to 1 ; on Lisbon, (60
days) 621 to 1; all but the last at throe months.
