POLICE.—YmeriaDAT.

WORSHIP-STREET.—A Vtotxter WOWAN.—Julia
Cartney, a servant of all work, of masculine apdearanee,
was charged with assaulting her master, Mr. Hass, a tin-
manufacturer, of Middlesex-street, Spitahsquare. The
complainant, who is of the Jewi-li persuasion, anal whose
head and face were covered with plaster, and hie left arm
in a sling, stated that he arrived home the previous
evening about half-past eight, with his three sons, from
the synagogue, when he found his wife, wto is near her
confinement, outside of the der, and being supported
by two strangers, the cause of which he learned was the
conduct of the prisoner, who threatened to "knife her."
He went into the parlour of his house, where the prisoner
stn d, but the no sooner saw him than she snatched up
two candlesticks, which were upon the table, and before
he could prevent it struck him violently on the head
with each of them. He fell, and she then hit him in
the arm, and tore the flesh through the coat and
shirt. (The complainant here showed a deep and dangerous
wound in the sinewy part of his arm ) The deem:lent was the
worse for liquor.—Mrs Ilan stated that the prisoner went out
with the youngest child to feed it. It was the Jews' Ease-
-1 over, and the bread they eat themselves during that period
was not fit food for infants. It was, the retorts, the practice
among the Jewish parents to have the younger children fed
from home on these occasions. When she came home she
had evidently been drinking, and during the day had pro-
cured more drink. Witness remonstrated with her, but she
was answered with the vilest abuse; and at length the
prisoner snatched up a tahle.knife and swore she would do
for her with it, end she believed she would have been mur-
dered bad she not effected her mune from the house.—The
prisoner here expressed, loud enough to be heard by several
persons near the dock in which she was standing, her regret
that she hod we done it.—Mr. Broughton said he should
send her to prison.
M A RLBOROUGH -ST RE ET. -- Est Bente), vex.
William Southwood, in the employ of Messrs. Ful-
ler and Co., printsellers, Rathborn.place, was charged
with having embezzled sums of money received from
various customers on behalf of his employers. Several
eases were shown in which he hail received money.—
Mr. Fuller proved that the prisoner Lad never accounted to
the firm for these sums of money.—Fully committed.
SOUTHWARK. —Coot. ROBBERY. Thomas Hogan
was charged with stealing a clock from the parlour of the
" City Arms," publichouse, Hunter-street, Kent-road. The
prisoner came into the parlour with two other men ; and as
they were going out the landlord observed that one of them
had something under hie coat; he pursued him, but he
escaped, dropping the clock as he went. He was afterwards
taken while in a cab ; and he was now fully committed.
T HAM ES.—Pe Roe le IAL BRAWLS —Mr. James Colt,
one of the overseers of the parish of Stepney, was charged
with assaulting Mr. Charles Williams, a rencral dealer.—
The complainant stated that he went on Easter Monday to
assist in electing parish-officers. Wtilet he and other
parishioners were engaged in consider4ng the form of a re-
monstrance against certain proceedings which had just taken
place, the defendant rushed furiously in, snatched the seat
from under Mr. Morse, who was one of the nominees for the
churehwardenship, closed the shutters, snatched the peas
from those who were writing, dashed the ink-bottle iato the
fire-place, called those present by the most opprobrious
names, and said he would fight the whole of thee! Witness
went to open the shutters, as they were all in darkness, upon
which the defendant seized him by the collar; and struck
him a blow on the cheat. Witness went for a constable ; and
no his return the defendant renewed the assault in an exactly
manner.—Mr. Brooks (a witness), entered into •
lengthened statement with a view to show that ell the usual
forms observed at each meetinp had been violated on the
part of the chairmaa, the Rev. elk. Vaudrey, who had peeked
the place with his personal friends, and got in himself at •
back-window, previously to opening the doers to tho public.
i Great Knew conked, end the business was carried on in
1 dumb show. After • proposition being made for the re-
' election of the kte churchwardens, Mears. Hawkins and
Head, witness and a gentleman named Morse were put in
nominalism. Whilst the seconder of this amendment was
vet 'tinkling, the rector baote up the meeting, and declared
that &li the odkers were elected, though a poll had been
previously demanded in writing. When the chairman left,
sevenk gentlemen remained to commit as to the course
shish eltorald be pursued, and whilst they were deliberating,
the defendant came in, and committed the outrages com-
plained of.—Mr. Bsddely, in defence, contended that
the business war completed when the rector left the
their, and that therefore his client, as an overseer,
was perfectly warranted in clearing the town-house
where the meeting had been helcl—Mr. Ballantine took
a very different view of the ease, and did not consider
the business concluded so keg as say of the rate-paying
inhabitants remained to confider how they should proceed
under the eirennestanees.—Messrs. Morse and Horton con-

firmed the complainant's statement, and also deposed as to
the irregular manner in which the proceedings had been con-
ducted. Mr. Horton proved that he himself, though several at-
tempts were made to prevent him, handed to the rector a
written demand for a poll.—Mr. Baddely submitted that if
any assault had been at all committed, his client had only acted
in the due discharge of his duty. The business had been
transacted, and the minutes of the vestry meeting duly re-
corded.—Mr. Brooks: I beg pardon; no chairman's signa-
ture was attached to them, neither were the names of the
proposer or seconder of either of the resolutions entered.—
Mr. Baddely would not discuss that point; but contended
that Colt had a right to clear the room after the chairman had
declared the proceedings of the vestry terminated.—Mr. Bal-
lantine said that in the tint instance Colt was not in reality
an acting overseer, not having been sworn in before a magis-
trate ; but even if he hail been, in his (Mr. Ballantine's)
opinion be had committed a most unjustifiable assault. The
proceedings of the vestry appeared to him to be informal and
I irregular, and Mr. Williams and his friende had acted in a
perfectly legal manner. They had a right, when • poll was
refused them, to consider what measures should be adopted
under the peculiar circumstances; and, so far from Mr. Colt
acting in a becoming manner as • perish officer, he had
rushed into the room, and in a violent and frantic manner,
grossly misbehaved himself. Hs should fine him 61. for the
assault, which he considered • most aggravated end unjusti-
fiable one.

Foreign stocks have commended little attention, an
improvement in Spanish may be noticed. The Fives wes
called 244 to 5 at one time, but left off not quite so good ;
the Threes, 351 to 6. Portuguese, 34 to 5. Mexican, 21 to
1. Venesuela, 39 to 41 Dutch Two-ands-half per Cents',
681 to 4 ; the Fours,9ol to 4.
It was quite in the natural order of things that the present
movement of the Bank in declaring a higher minimum rate
of interest should result in depressing or affecting all money
values. So far as the habitual dealers in money in and out
f the Stock Exchange, who are holders of stock or other
security values only so long as more advantageous means
of employing their funds do not present themselves, it is
evident that they will be induced to sell out Consols or other
oldie securities not yielding more than 31 per cent., for the
purpose Of putting out the proceeds to better usance upon
approved representative values which shall return 5 or 6
per cent.
The action of the Sink in this matter of the interest has
been judiciously timed, and entirely in accoslance with those
peculiar circumstances of the moment by which surrounded
that we had presumed beforehand would and should
influence its course. It hes fallen to cur lot, there-
fore, to protect and vindicate the directing board from
the imputations of their own self-assuming friends, fur
whom the board was too tardy of movement, and
should have proceeded to slaughter all other interests with
more despatch. It is, therefore, a grateful duty to record
another feature of the formal notice by which the enhanced
rate of discount is announced, which redounds to the credit
and evinces the cautious consideration of the Bank manage-
ment. This is the maintenance of the date at which bills
will still be admireible to discount. Had the term of bills
been shortened from 9.5 days to GO, as in some quarters was
apprehended, and in ethers suggested, commerce would have
been laid under the serious disadvantage of net only being
tared higher far credit, but limited in its extent. It is no
small satisfaction to know that the views we have taken ge-
nerally of the right direction of Bank action have received
the adhesion of banking and other authorities of monetary
repute.
It will have been observed that the shipments of sovereigns
actually made to the United States by the steamers Cambria
and Sarah Sands, fell short of the estimated amount by some
two or three hundred thousand pounds. The estimate was
founded on the amounts for which policies of insurance were
understood to be taken out. The considerable differenoe
came, therefore, rather by .upprise upon the mercantile
community. The explanation in currency is that the whole
quantity would have gone, but that the Bank having thrown
out so much paper of the large dealer* in foreign exchange
at the close of last week, who it was known were preparing
to make considerable experts of coin or bullion, the parties
had not the opportunity of supplying themselves elsewhere
in time with the funds for obtaining the gold. The expla-
nation appears plausible enough, for if the Bank began to
act on the Friday, as understood, and the next day being one
on which large operations are seldom embarked in, or ma-
nageable, whilst the Cambria left on Sunday. and the Sarah
Sands on Tuesday, it may readily be comprehended that in
Arch circumstances, the gold could not be procured for des-
patch in time.
