deism that it would be necessary to take further steps in the
matter. The inspector would, of course, represent the case
to the constable's superintendent, who would, no doubt, do
what was needful with respect to a complete investigation
into the whole proceeding.

S(3l/THWARK.—Arrsce OE THE POLlCE.—Rescuis.
Demnis Sullivan, John Muir, and Joseph Callaglusn, well-
known thieves, were charged, with two others not in cus-
tody, in rescuing a prisoner from the custody of the police,
and smashing a policeman's head in with • bnck-hat, besides
dreadfully injuring several others.—On Sunday everdog one
of the prisoners' companions, named Witty (who has since
been transported fur seven years) stole • quantity of cigars
from a shop in Gravel-lane, Southwark. He was taken into
custoray a short time after the robbery, in the Red House
public-house, when he was rescued by the prisoners and his
associates. After Witty was rescued, a moo of two or three
hundred persons surrounded the police, mostly thieves sad
bad characters, and commenced throwing brick-bats and
stones at them. Richards, 44 M, perceiving Muir throwing
a brickbat, and knowing him to he one who rescued the
other prisoner, caught hold of him, when he ..vas kicked by
several persons behind, and was struck on the forehead with
a brick-bat, which rendered him insensible. He was con•
veyed in this state to Guy's Hospital, when it was ascertained
that his left eye was cut across, and that a portion of the
bone above had been forced in. So frightful was the
wound that his eye-sight was despairs I or, and be was
ordered to rennin in the hospital. Police-constable 134
M, was struck with a brick-bat on the head while assisting
the last witness; he also received several kicks on the lower
part ofrhis body, which rendered him incapak e of perform-
ing 11j3Auty.—Police-serjeant7 M said, that when he was in-
formed of the riot, he proceeded to Gravel-lane, and found
upwards of two hundred persons surrounding the constables.
As soon as he arrived they attacked him, and while he had
Muir in custody, a brickbat struck the latter, (evidently in-
tended fur him) and rendered him insensible. Witness was
compelled to convey him to a surgeon's to restore !limn-, his
senses. The other prisoners and those who escaped were the
worst.—William Morgan, a lad about ten yeses of age, said
that he saw bricks thrown about from all parts. Sullivan
threw a large one at Richards, who instantly dropped down
like a dead man. He saw the prisoner and the others who
escaped throw stones and kick the police.—ln answer to
the charge, the prisoners said that they knew that Witty
was not guilty of the offence which they charged him with,
and that was the reason they rescued him. They did not
deny committing the assault, but they did it in self-defence.
—lt was stated by one of the constables that the prisoners
were most desperate characters, and had been frequently in
custody for felony, and other offences.— Remanded for a
week. . . .

THAMES.—BENzeousacs.—Mr. Yardley acknowledged
the receipt of 21. for the poorh is of this court, of which
acknowledgment the donor requested an announcement in
the public journals.

MONEY MARKET.

THVItSDAT EVENINO,

The dealers appear to be better supplied with the
heavy stocks thou with Consols. Other sales of Three-and-a-
Qum te r per Coats. were made to-day, to the amount, as stated,
of 60,0001. at 951 by • leading firm, but the prices nevertheless
recovered to 951. Consols money suck is rather scarce,
which tends to support prices, but beyond that will probably
exercise little effect, as it will not be difficult to borrow at a
seasonable rate of interest whilst money is so easy. The
quotations have been all day 931 to 1 for money and the
opening. Reduced Threes 931 to 4. Exchequer Bills, 12s.
to 14s. pm. India Bonds, 17s. to 20s. prn. Long Annuities,
9 13-16 to 1. Bank Stock, 205 to 6.
On the first report of the Clyde West India and Mexican
steamer being telegraphed from Southampton there was a
temporary cessation of dealings in Mexican stock, waiting
some notification of the intelligence which might be received.
A short time previous to the close of business it became
' known that the accounts brought on this occasion came down
I to the 2nd ultimo from Vera Cruz, which would make the
last dates from the capital probably about the 25th of Nov.
That, although the Clyde brings two millions of dollars on
merchants' account, not one dollar comes for the divideud,
will excite no surprise, except in quarters so credulous
or ill-informed of the state of affairs in Mexico, as
to have placed credit in the absurd report circulated
some days since, on the sudden rise in Mexican Bonds, to the
effect that funds were coming and that the dividend would
be paid. The more particu.ar feature of the accounts is the
feet, if fact it shall prove on the delivery of the letters and
papers to-morrow, of a published letter of Santa Anna dis-
avowing de noes the late conversion of Mexican Bond.. It
will be remembered that the first act of the government
which superseded that of Paredes in the city of Mexico was
the repudiation of that conversion. Subsequently, on some
changes in the miListry, a committee appointed ad hoc passed
• resolution confirmatory of the conversion, in con-
sideration of circumstances, and the embarrassing com-
plications of the question. It was generally under-
stood, at least so expressed in private letters, that
the contractors of that conversion loan scheme in Mexico
had obtained this reversal of the sentence of repudi-
ation by some skilfully-distributed pecuniary appliances
among certain needy members of the Mexican ministry,
and such is not improbably the way in which these matters
are managed in that country. Now, after conversion, an-
nullation, and confirmation, the affair would seem to be
again involved in confusion by this last absolute dictum of
Santa Anna. For the proper explanation of this curious
business we must wait for what to-morrow shall bring forth.
Meantime after the news thus detailed transpired the
transactions in Mexican Bonds became more active, and the
prices rapidly declined. At the usual closing hour (3 o'clock)
they were down to 24/ to 1. They continued to decline for
a short time afterwards and were done as low as 23, but
recovered so far as 231 to 1.
Spanish were somewhat more depressed in the earlier part
of the day, but at the close resumed their previous prices of
261 to 1 for the Fives, and 361 to 1 for the Threes. Dutch
Tw•-and-a-Half per Cents., 591 to 1 ; the Fours, 921 to 3/.
Portuguese, 37 to 8. Chalon, 95 to 7. Russian, 111 to 12.
