POLICE.-YESTERDAT.

MANSION HOUSE —BANK Itonanay.—Francis Char-
mart, on • of the cashiers in the banking house of Barclay,
Bevan, Tritton, and Co.. in Lombard. street, was brought up
in custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with
having stolen a Bank ot England note for 101., the property
of the firm.
Mr. Muttons, of the firm of Bush sod Mullens, solicitors
to she emmittee of bankers for protection against forgeries
and frauds, attended for the prowcosion.
Mr. William Deane, clerk to Messrs. 11 irclay and Co.,
stated that on the '24th of July, a Bank of England note for
101., numbered and Baud 61.221, 4th of April, 1848, was
in his halide in the house, and he entered it, together with
other notes which he received on that day. He made the
entry from the note itae.f, and deposited it with the other
note s.—Mr. J. B. Cavalier, also a clerk in the house, said he
recollected having tondo the balancing of the notes en the
day in question, and found the helance short by 101. He
had examined the books himself, and taken the parjculars
of the whole of the notes received, and he accounted for all
with the exception of the 101. note, No. 61,321. The pri
soner was one of the shiers, and hal access to the bank notes,
—Mr. R. Bevan, a partner in the firm of Barclay and Co.
stated that he had that morning spoken to the prisoner on ti e
subject of the missiug money, and told him that he was sus-
pected of having taken it. At first the prisoner denied that
he was the guilty person, but upon being afterwards told that
the 101. note had been traced to his brother, he said it was of
no use to deny it any longer, and be confessed that he had
taken it. No prnrnise had been at all made to him —Tee
prisoner, upon being asked whether he was dvirous to say
anything, made no observation. lie was then, at the re-
quest of Mr. Mullens, remanded for a week.
WORSHIP-STREET. —DESPERATE. ATTACK. Anne
Conway was charged with having attempted to stab
Mr. William West, a broker in the Hackney-road,
and also with violently assaulting Joseph Palmer, one
of his men. Pursuant to instructions he had received
from the landlord of a house in which the prisoner's
husband occupied apartments, the complainant West went
there with two of his men that morning to levy a distress
for rent, but had no slitter communicated the object of his
visit than the prisoner, in a state of great excitement, taught
up a table knife, and threatened to stab them with it unless
they instantly left the premises. W itlout further parley,
she commenced a furious attack upon them, and made a
sudden stab at the broker's breast, which he fortunately
parried with his stick, and knocked the weapon out of her
hand. The prisoner then made towards the tire-place, and,
seizing hold of the poker, renewed the attack with such im-
petuosity, that they were compelled to make a precipitate
retreat, and having obtained the assistance of a policeman,
they returned to the house and gave her into custody.—
Police-constable Lee stated, that upon entering the room he
found the prisoner brandishing a poker, and declaring that
she would dash out the brains of the first man who ap-
proached her ; but he succeeded, with some difficulty, in dis-
arming her, and conveyed her to the station-house.—Mr.
Hacamill ordered the prisoner to pay a penalty of 61., or to
be committed in default for two months to the Roue of
Correction.

LAMBETH. —llEooll4o-LETTIM IMPOSTORS. Jfary
Clark, alias Madden, a notorious begging-letter impostor,
was finally examined on a charge of attempting to obtain
from Mr. Jones, a gentleman residing at Surrey-place, Ken-
nington, some money under false pretences.—Mr. Jones
stated that an Saturday last the prisoner called at his house,
and sent to him, by his ;arrant, a note, of which the follow-
ing is a copy:
The bearer, Mrs- Mary Clarke, is the widow of the late Mr. James
Clarke, tin was flannelly to the wine trade, but on whose decease
his affairs were in a very embarrassed state, and by a succession of
subsequent misfortunes the poor woman has struggled bard, as a
laundress, to support tire children, until afflicted with rheumatic
fever In her bead and limbs, rendering her for the last four months
Incapable of attending to her industry, her goods were seized for
rent, Ind to prevent their loss she now reluctantly seeks com-
miseration and assistance. Any donation will he gratefully acknow-
bilged by MAST Cuutiz.
To this note were attached the names of several persons,
with alleged subscriptions, varying from twenty to five shil•
line, and by way of confirmation of its truth it was soma-
psoied by a regular broker's warrant, partly printed and
panty written, to levy and seize the goods of the said Mary
Clarke, for rent alleged to be due to her landlord ; but the
writing in the note bore so close a similarity to those pre-
sentod but a few days before to him (Mr. Jones), and on the

same subject, that he suspected that all we not right, and
therefore sent for a constablo and gave the prisoner into cus-
tody. The prisoner subsequently aehrnwledged that there
was no truth in the repres, ntatioos in the note, and gave a
very unsatisfactory account of how she got it.—Hors-
ford, the mendicity officer, was in attendance, and at
once recognised the prisoner, whale real same is
Madden, as a very old aaintance of his, and
cne who had been committed u
to prison Inc nearly
a dozen times for charges similar to the present. Her son
had also been frequently committed to prison, sod a man
named Dennison, who wee the most notorious impostor and
successful cheat in Europe, was on Friday week last sen-
tenElliotte months' imprisonment by the Lord
fortor.—
Mr. Ellot committed the prisoner to gaol three

months
THROWN OUT or Wisnow.—Anselio Glover, whose TRW
on a charge of throwing a man out of the first floor
window, appeared in the Express of Tuesday last, was
finally exarnmed.—Mr. Hooper, of the Lendon-road, de-
scribed the injuries which the prosecutor received, and
which were of a severe character- The prisoner was com-
.

mined for trial.
SOU fswAßK.—Nose BEGGING IMPORTP.RS— W. {Va-
li:amen was charged wi' h obtaining various sums of money
by means of a fictitious petition.—Mr. Knight, a tradesman in
Lambeth, stated that on the previous efternoon the prisoner
called at hie house and described himself as the sou of a
mechar.ic who a few days before had met with a severe acci.
dent, which incapacitated him from work and compelled
him to become an inmate of Guy's Hospital. With the view
to strengthen his application for relief for his father, the V
prisoner produced a written petition describing the circum-
stances attending the accident, and stating that the unfortu-
nate petitioner while crusting the Kent road with a heavy
load on his head was thrown down ands. horse and cart pass.
ing at the time he was run over by the vehicle, and suvained
such a serious injury of the spine that it was uncertain
whether he would ever recover. The prisoner further
described that in consequence of the accident the peti-
tioner's family, which was large, was thrown into a state
of great destitution, and it concluded by an urgent
appeal to the humane. Then followed the names 20
of several persons residing in the locality who had sub- tTf
scribed various sums for the petitioner. The witn. as, how-
ever, having ome suspicion that the tale of misfortune
was fabricated for the purpose of procuring money, expressed
his intention to call at the hospital to see the patient and
then to relieve him if the statement was correct. This step 4
on the part of the witness was strongly opposed by the pri- fl
loner, who pointed out the impropriety of stringers calling
on a patient in such a condition, and added that he (the pri-
toner) would prefer taking back his petition without the wit-
ness's signature and contribution rather than that he should
make any inquiries at present on the subject. This ',shier- ,
tugs of the prisoner's convinced witness that it was a ficti-
tious petition, and his suspicions were strengthened from the
fact of the prisoner attempting to leave the shop in a hurried
manner, when he was prevented and given into custody.
The witness added that he had since caused inquiries to be
made, and had ascertained that the petition was untrue.—
Mr. Seeker committed the prisoner for the full perLd of
three mouths allowed by the act, with hard labour.

MONEY MARKET.

VEDSE DAT ECENINII.

Thit funds exhibited no remarkable fluctuations to-
day, except as compared with ordinary quiet times.
Various undefined rumours were current about the
capture of Smith O'Brien, and the finale of Irish in-
surrection consequently supposed, which assisted in
carrying the prices of Consols to 871. Realisations of
profits by jobbers reduced the rates subsequently to
871- to ,„ at which they closed for money and account.
The apprehensions of a French interference in Italy,
in consequence of the successes of the Austrian army,
had a depressing influence on the market. Reduced ,1
Threes were 87k to .1. Three-and-a-Quarter per 2.
Cents., 87' 'to Long Annuities, B'-B'-•; to 15-16. ,
Exchequer Bills, 375. to 41a. premium. India Bonds,
325. to 355. premium. Bank Stock, 1964 to 81.
In the foreign market there was an uncommon i;
laxity of business in the after part of the day.
Mexican done at 171 were quoted 174 to 18. Brazi- .2
lian, 68 to 71. Chilian in advance at 82 to 5.
Spanish Fives were 11 to ; the Threes, 211 to ;
Passive, '24 to 34. Portuguese, 18 to 19. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 43 to 4 ; the Fours, 69'
to 71. Russian, 98 to 100. Danish,66 to 70.
The Manchester Courier has the following particu-
lars about the Glasgow and Liverpool failures re-
ferred to this morning under this head :
The liiiture in Glasgow to which we have alluded above is
that of Me•srs. Dunlop, Rmand, and Co., a highly-respect-
able
house in the foreign trade. We learn, by an extract of
a private letter with which we have been avoured, that the
houses of the firm are in Buenos Ayres and Sydney. The
debts are variously stated at from 150,0001. to 300,0001. Mr.
Michael Rowand, the father of Mr. Rowand, cf this firm,
is a banker in Glasgow, and is stated to be a creditor to the
extent of 70,0001., of which 35,0001. is uncovered. One firm
in Glasgow are it is stated, creditors to the extent of 10,0001.
and another 5,0001.
The firm hail a branch in Liverpool under the title
of Rowand, Dunlop, and Co.
Upon the state of business in Manchester the same
paper has the following observations :
MANCIIESTES, TI;E:.,DOY EVENINO.—We acre agree-
ably surprised at the firmness exhibited in this market to-
day. The news from Germany, announcing the non-com-
pletion of the armistice, and the evident math, ring together
of hostile forces, preparatory to a renewal of the struggle be-
tween Denmark and Germany, and the renew al of active
hostilities in Italy, between the forces of Austria and the
combined Italian and Sardinian armies, coupled with the
present state of Ireland, seemed causes enough to account for
a considerable depression; but when we find added to these
the announcement of a large fa lure in G.asgow, and also
a rumour of a similar disaster in the metropolis, we
should hardly have expected to have to record so
slightly unfavourable an alteration as was visible to-day. To
say the least, the firm feel'ng that was generally to be ob-
served is • strong proof that both spinners and manufacturers
find themselves in a better p 'salon than they have lawn able
to count upon for a leneth of time. The revival of business
which took place at the beginning of last month has cleared
off stocks to a large extent, and many parties, both spin-
ners and manufacturer, are working to order; thus
these parties not only themselves are placed but the
whole market in a more favourable position. Tne market
to-day was quieter universally. but there was little
disposition to concede any reduction in price, either
fox cloth or yarn, and those cases where reduced rates were
accepted were the exceptions, and only in cases where stocks
were hi Id to an inconvesient extent could the slightest con-
cession he obtained, In the yarn market, notwithstand'ng
the unfavourable news front the continent, the German
houses continued to be buyers at general rates. The
amount of business doing both for India and China is
especiaily as regards the former. Nevertheless,
micas of those numbers are maintained; a good demand
at present exists for the Russian market, and many of
the spinners are gone on to the qualities suited fur that
quarter ; the market is therefore saved from being
pressed upon by accumulating stocks. In the cloth
market, although the demand is moderated, there is
the same indisposition on the part of producers to give way,
and from the advance which has actually been established
upon the late low prices there is very little secession. The
demand fur the Greek market, as well as from the home
trade, is more moderate. In shirting' for China some trans-
actions can still be noted. Oa the whole, considering the
today 'arable causes which we Lase enumerated above, and
the c ntinued unfavourable weather for the ingetring of the
cereal crops, the market is less unfavourably acted upon than
migh: have been expected.
