dared not go out with the milk, and the girl her-
self, since her liberation, had been several times past her

Mr. Hardwick said he was ready to put the law in force in

that, with reference to the money, the best advice he could
give was to let the girl have it if she came to clt
aim.ld Should
the claim be resisted, and some pettifogger ge hoof the
case, the applicant would be exposedto endlecia vexation and
expense. Mrs. Morehouse sal she was willing to adopt the
magistrate's suggestion, but she could not help thinking that
the law had not dealt cut justice in the case. 9
MARYLEBONE.—ROBISERIES HT A CLERK AT A RAIL-
WAY-STATION.—John Laster, clerk to Messrs. Deacon and 4
Co., carriers, White Horse, Cripplegate, and who have es- ti
tensive warehouses at the Camden-station of the London and
North Western Railway, was charged before Mr. Long with
"„;
robbery. Upon many occasions property of different de- ,
scriptions, which had been sent by the trains, having been s
missed, and suspicious circumstances authorising the search a+
of the prisoner's lodgings, a box was found in them contain-
ing two valuable shawls, one of which was identified by the
warehouseman of Messrs. Willett and Co., Friday-street, I 2;
and the other by an assistant to Messrs. Fowler and Co., in
the same street. The said articles had, with other goods,
been forwarded to parties in the country, and intimation had 1;
been received sus to one of the shawls not having arrived.-- 11
remandedisoner, who said he was innocent of the charge, was
till next Thursday.
SJUTHWARK.—JEALOUBT AND AITEMPT TOMURDER.
—Thomas Louisa, described as a cheese porter, was brought 1,
before Mr. Seeker for re-examination, charged with attempt- .1
ing to murder a young woman named Louisa Childs, by
cutting her throat. The complainant has been a patient in
Guy's Hospital ever since, and although still very weak from ;
loss of blood, she was considered sufficiently convalescent to II
attend and give evidence against her assailant. Being as- 1:
misted into the witness-box and swam, she deposed that she 11
was a married woman, but had separated from her husband
about ten months ago, since which period she had been liv-
ing under the protection of the prisoner, at No. 181, Kent t
street, Southwark; that on Tuesday the 3rd inst., they 4
went out together, and on returning scent into a public- 1;
house and had some refreshment, but not such a quantity as
to affect either of them. The same morning the landlord of the 8:
house where they lodged had forbidden the prisoner to re- r(
turn, expressing his determinition not to admit him again, 2,,
and on her saying to the prisoner that he had better not go
near the house in case of any disturbance, he endeavoured to 1
persuade her not to return to the lodging ; but she expressed
her intention to sleep there that eight, and accordingly 5,
parted with him about 40 yards from the house. Just as she !;
was about to go up tke steps to knock at the door, she was relied
Ij
round the neck from behind, and ins moment she felt that her 2!
throat was cat, and that the blood was trickling down her St
boson. On turning round she saw the prisoner, who said
something which she did not remember, and who then ran 3!
up the street, towards St. George's Church. She added that
she saw no knife nor any weapon in the prisoner's hands; that
the deed was done so instantaneously she bad no oppertunity
of observing with what instrument her throat was cut. —The
prisoner, who was incessantly crying from the moment ho If
was placed in the dock, exclaimed that he was eating bread
and cheese at the time, and that, being e-.cited at the corn-
pleinant's refusal to go elsewhere with him, instead of pro-
reeding to the house of another which he was forbidden, he It
scarcely knew what he did.—Mr. Walling, of Guy's Hospital, It
deposed that when the complainant was brought there on the
night in question, on examination he discovered that there
were two distinct wounds in her throat, each extending lj
about three inches in length and almost half an inch in
depth ; thateach wound passed overthecarotid artery, which 1
was as near as possible being divided, which would have pro- 41
duced instantaneous death. They were evidently inflicted 4(
with a sharp instrument, but were now healing; and there It
was not much danger to he apprehended from inflammation.
—Mr. Seeker, having ordered the depositions to be taken, j
committed the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal
I;
Court, and bound over the witnesses to prosecute.
WOOLWICH.—Riour OF BAIL TO ABSOLVE THEM-
SELVES BY THIS SURRENDER OF THEIR PRISONER.
About three weeks ago a publican named George Darby, of •
Woolwich, having been committed to Maid-tone gaol for a
violent assault upon his wife, his friends succeeded in getting
him liberated on the bail' of Mr. S. Farnfield and Mr. Clif-
ford, late inspectors of police. On returning home, he re-
sumed his habits of intoxication and violence, in consequence
of which, those gentlemen, in accordance with the opinion
of Mr. Jeremy, attended before Mr. Trail! to discharge them-
selves from their recognisancev. Mr. Traill, however, refused
to accede to their request, saying that Mr. Jeremy must have
alluded only to cases in which no ultimate decision of a male-
mate had been passed. To-day the application was renewed
before Mr. Jeremy, who at once declared his firm belief that
the law fully bore out the opinion he had so often expressed
—for the words of the law were, " that the man who was
bailed by another was in his custody." He also referred to
the case of the Duke of Leeds, referred to in " Cummings's
Digest," and fully reported in " Fortescue," wherein the
bail surrendered his lordship, he being under recognisanees
to keep the peace.—Mr. Jeremy then, having received evi-
dence of further acts of violence on the part of the defendant
ordered him to be taken into custody, and in default of find-
ing sureties, committed him to Maidstone.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENING.

Business was again languid at the Stock Exchange.
There appears to be an impression abroad that the supply of
money during the remainder of the year will be gradually
contracted, such an expectation being founded on the know-
ledge that the moneyed and commercial houses are in the
habit of closing the year's transactions with as good a balance
in the hands of their bankers as they conveniently can. The
government brokers were in the market. They took 5,000
Three-and-a-Quarter per cent. Stock for account of the
savings banks, 5,000 of the same for account of the friendly
societies; and 1,300 New South Sea Annuities for account of
the commmissioners for the reduction of the national debt. The
account-day for consols is now fast approaching, and curiosity
has been felt as to what would be the rate of " continuation."
The Hebrews were the first to establish the charge, many of
them having carried over their account+, at 5-16th per cent.,
from the present to the January settlement, which terminates
with the first opening of the transfer books of the Bank in
the new year. Consols left off at 941 to 1 for money and ac-
count ; Exchequer bills, lls. to 14e. pm.
The foreign funds commanded no attention, and prices
generally have been as nearly as possible the same. Five
per cent. Spanish, 261; Three per cent. do., 371 to 1; Two-
and-a-Half per cent Dutch, 59 to 1 ; the Four per cent. Cer-
tificates, 91; to 21; Bquador bonds, 34 to 1; New Granada
deferred, 31 to 1; Mexican stock, 221.
The exchange on Paris was lower to-day, In the rates on
other points there was no variation. An improvement is ex-
pected by the leading brokers, as the decline has now gone
on for some time, and to a considerable extent, besides which
the northern porta, from which we have been receiving su
plies of wheat and other grain, must now have closed forp-
the season. Paris, 25.80 to 5; ditto (short), 25.55 to 60 ;
Hamburgh, 13.11 to 4 ; Amsterdam, 12.31 to 41.

RAILWAY NEWS.
French shares wereyesterday extremely flat, owing to
large sales made at Pans. The directors of the railways in
France seem to have been making their calls with unwar-
rantable rapidity, and hence the declining oonditiln of the
markets in that country. East Indian (Larpent's) line did
not look near so well. The holders are dissatisfied that no
arrangement with the East India Board should have been
concluded after so long a course of negotiation. Some heavy
sales have, in consequence, been ordered within the last day
or two. The English scrips and shares were well supported,
but without any noticeable change in value.
The business in the share-market at Liverpool was rather
more limited than on Thursday, and prices of old stocks
were generally a shade lower. The more speculative stocks,
as Dewsbury* and Huddersfielda, were tolerably firm, the
former at 151, the latter at 6 pm. Thinks were 21 die., and
Ormskirks were wanted, especiallT for coed ; they reached
51 pm. for the account. East Indian were done at 1 pm.
The Manchester share market was inactive and rather
dull, but a fair business was transacted. Prices were much
the same as on the previous day.
Business was again very brisk at Birmingham. The cir-
cumstance of its being no longer a doubtful question as to
the purpose of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction
directors to sell that line to the Great Western Company on
nearly the terms formerly stated, did not, however, mate-
rially affect the value of their scrip; there being sales at the
time of the business at 61 p., and in the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Dudley, at 61. 18s. 9d. pm. There
were sales also in the Stour Valley at 48s. 9d. pm. ; Shrews-
bury and Birmingham, at 23i. 9d. p ,• Ambergates, at 1 pm. ;
Trent Valley Matsuda, at les. 3el. pm. ; and Shropshire
Unions, at die.
At Leeds the business was rather active, and many sales
were effected in some of the lines, prices !reiterant being
buoyant. Leeds and Dewsbury advanced from 12 pm. to
161 pm. ; Huddersfield and Manchester,, from 6 to 61
pm,, Leads and Thinks, from 21 to die., and North
