POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.
A. Barna, • police-constable, 19 F. and J. Beadree, a
cabman, in the employ of Mr. Richardson, of Chelsea, were
charged with conspiring to obtain, be false pretences, 11.
from Mr. Smith, foreman to the said Mr. Richardson.
On Monday last the prisoner Butcher was charged at
this court with being drunk while in charge of • cab, and
fined ss. or seven d rya' imprisonment, the other prisoner
being the only witness against him. The fine was imme-
diately paid, and then Barnes and Butcher went to the
greenyard, took the cab out, sod drove to the yard of the
latter prisoner's employer, where they met Mr. Smith, who
conducts the businias for Mr. Richardson, and represented
to him that Butcher had been fined IS. and the expenses of
the greenyard 4s. 64., and if he could not raise the money
he must go back to prison in custody of Barnes, who had
been seat there for that purpose. Mr. Smith said he had
no objection to pay the expense of the greenyard, which lie
did; but as for the fine, the prisoner must try to raise that
elsewhere. The constable then said he must go back with
him, but he said he could get bail. They then left, and Mr.
Smith subsequently found their statement was a fabrication
to tram him, and had thee taiga lotto custody.
Daftlisueltistaiklen had nothing to do with awaking the atic•
*Me Smith although he admitted hearing
Butcher do so. Butcher declined saying anything.
Mr. Henry said there was no doubt a gross attempt had
been made to obtain money by false pretences. One or
two links, however, were required in the chain of evidence.
lie would, therefore, remand the prisoners till Friday,
when the depositions would be completed, and the prisoners
committed for trial.

The magtstrato refused to take bail for the prisoners.

MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocz.

The English stock market remains firm, and prices
to-day exhibit a further slight improvement. This
being settling-day in the Congo' market, the close
of tho account boa occupied attention, and
with the progress of the arrangements we
have the singular occurrence of the con-
tinuation of to the 11th December having entirely
passed off so that the quotation for cash is now iden-
tical with that for delivery next month. Whilst a
proof of the scarcity of stock is thus given, evidence
is also afforded of the " bearish" tendency of specu-
lation in this department.
In connection with the settlement we have to
notice the declaration of a defaulter, Mr. Philip E.
Hendricks, a large " bear" of Consols, who was an-
nounced as unable to meet his liabilities early this
morning.
Consols opened 981 to ; for money, being
the full rate of yesterday, but, owing to the
failure above-mentioned necessitating re-purchases,
un advance of 4- quickly took place, which has since
been well maintained, the present quotation being
96", to 4, both for immediate delivery and the 11th
December. The official business report embraces:
Three per Cent. Consols, 98.', 1; ditto for account,
982, 7. Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, a. New
Three-and-a-quarter per Cents., 9*,!7, I. Long
Annuities 1860, 6 13-16, 7. India Stock, 2641.
Bank Stock, 2144, 214, 2141.
The unfunded securities remain steady. Ex-
chequr Bills are quoted 525. to 355. premium, but in
India bonds nothing is doing.
In the foreign stock market the arrangements for
the settling have also commenced, and there is not
much general business, whilst prices present scarcely
any variation. Mexican Bonds rule at 2.5„ to
1. The market for this stock has been for some
days supported by the attempts which are being
made to secure the services of the British minister
at Washington in the obtaining of an acknow-
ledgment from the United States government
of the bondholders' claims of two and a half
million dollars of the indemnity money duo to
Mexico, and made over by the Mexican authorities
in part satisfaction of the foreign creditors. It re-
mains to be seen if these attempts will finally
lend to any result, but the minds of many
holders of this stock would be greatly re-
lieved if they could have an assurance that
this important point will be secured to them. Their
rights are of course incontestible, but after late ex-
perience little confidence is reposed in Mexican good
faith, and the trammels of official forms are much
cavilled at by those interested. Business prices
are officially stated as follows :—Chilian Bonds, Six
per Cents., 10If ; Dutch Bonds, Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 591, 59; ditto Four per Cents. Certificates,
90, 89/ ; Danish Bonds, Five per Cents., 1011 ;
French Ilentes, Five per Cents., 90fr. at an exchan,ge
of 25fr. 20c. ; Mexican Bonds, 251, 1; Russian Bonds,
Five per Cents., 111 k, ; Spanish Passive Bonds, .5;
Venezuelan Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 36; do,
Deferred, 12k.
The market for the New Californian Gold Mining
shares has again been rather weaker to-day, though
at present the feeling is firmer than it was. West
Mariposa shares have come out this morning, and
this has affected nearly all the descriptions.
The Consols account expiring to-day opened on
the 14th ult. with Consols for the 12th Novem-
ber quoted 961 to The daily fluctuations of
prices since, as between the highest and lowest rates,
both for money and time, are subjoined. The
highest money price during the period embraced
in the account having been 98!,, and the
lowest 961, the extreme fluctuation is shown
to be full 11 per cent., being a much larger dif-
ference than is generally observable. The progress
of the steady demand for investment is strikingly
evinced by the course of the market during the
month, the fluctuation above referred to being en-
tirely in the nature of a rise, as the lowest quotation
of tfio account .was on last settling day, and the
highest yesterday. As the business for speculation,
however, has been comparatively unimportant,
quietude has generally characterised the arrange-
ments for the settling, which is expected to puss off

The committee of Mexican bondholders inform ns
they have received advioes from Mr. Falconnet, dated
Mexico, the 4th and 6th alt. Mr. Ramirez had
been appointed Minister for Foreign and Home
Affairs, Mr. Fonseca of Justice, and Mr. Robles had
again taken office as Minister of War; but the mi-
nistry of Finance had not been filled up yet, which
had of course prevented Mr. Falconnet from making
any progress since his last letter in the various mat•
tars which he had to treat with the go'

meat on
had at
a settle

behalf of the bondholib;s:-.7ll;Co'ngress
last authorised the government to come to
went with the different foreign ministers as
the claims of their respective countrymen, based either
on ja4ments or on diplomatic conventions. One of
the difficulties by which the government had been
hampered would thereby be got rid of. Mr. Ramon
Olarte had made a claim on Mr. Falconnet for al-
leged services rendered to Mr. W. P. Robertson, and
had attempted to lay an attachment on part of the
funds cominf to the bondholders, but hitherto with-
out effect. the committee have by the last packet
sent Mr. Falconnet sufficient instructions to enable

him effectually to protect the interests of the bond-
holders in this matter and to set it at rest.
From the Mexican Financial Agency we have the
following announcement:—

Col. Faio begs to inform the holders of Mexican bonds
that no communications front the Mexican cu'tomhouscs

have been received by him by the steamer Great Western,
just arrived. The statement in this morning's papers of a re-
mittance from Vera Crus, amounting to 20,943 dollars. on
account of dividends, appears to be currect.-32, Great Win-
chester-street, Nov. 11, 1851.
From the committee of Spanish American bond-
holders we have received the following:
Committee of Spanish American Bondholders,
8, Broad-street-buildings, Nov. 11, 1851.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders re-
ceived this morning the following letter f om their agents,
Messrs. Fowles, Wilson. and Co., of Bogota, relating to
New Granada and the Equador
" Bogota, Oct. 1, 1851.
" We have had two interviews with the Minister of
Finance of this republic during the last fortnight. The
minister expressed his regret that it is not in the power of
the government to do more than they have done in regard
to the dividenda on the foreign debt, and observed that the
late attempt at revolution caused so much extra expense
to the state, that it waanot possible to make any
ealeuL-
tions as to the future. As peace and order have been re-
stored throughout the country, we intend in a few days to
make a representation to the President, when we shall again
write to you.
" You will have heard that another revolution took place
some months since in the Equation We were preparing to
send a gentleman there, in conformity with your instruc-
tions, when we heard of the said revolution. It was fortu-
nate that the person had not proceeded on the journey ; a
useless expense would have been incurred, as he could not
have found am- government to which to present himself.
If even our agent should have arrived there during the
time Senor Novos was acting as presittent, and should have
entered into any arrangement with him, the present party,
who has upset Novoa, would not acknowledge any of the
latter's acts as binding, under the plea that his power had
been usurped.—We remain, &c.,
(Signed) 0 I'oWLEs, WILSON, AND Co."
