GUILDHALL._

was soddenly felled by a tremendous blow on the face.
While on the ground his assailant held dim by one hand,
and with the other rifled his pockets, taking his watch, and
then ran away down towards st. M Pros. vutor
got up and pursued hint, leaving hi, hat on the pavcm.:nt.
Saw the prisoner stopped, and, wh,n he got up to liim,
heard hint say, " For God', sake let inc go." A polieenian
cominit up, prosecutor gave him into custody. The watch
was worth about 21. 10s.
J. F. Wood, an ironplate-worker, said he was in St.
Martin's-lane, about eleven o'clock on Thursday night,
!wit he heard the cry of "Stop thief," and turning the
corner, saw a man runiiinc towards him, whom lie st.ipmd.
The man said, " For God's sake, let we go ;" but hailing
his appeal insufficient, he wanted to know what business
he had to interfere. The prosecutor then came up, without
his hat, and his back emereil with mutt.
Robert Keble, F 89, said about half-past 10 on :the nicht
in question, he found the prisoner in custody of the last
witness. Prisoner said, "Take him as well (pointing to
[Wood), he's as bad as me." Ile immediately took him to
the station house.—Committed for trial.
WESTMINSTER.

Francis .11' :Valk y and John bsgherly, labourers, were
charged with the following expert rubbery at the house of
Mr. James Palmer, the Blenheim, Bond-street, Chelsea.
On the evening of the 19th February the two prisoners
and a number of ether men were in the taproom of the
Blenheim, and to the gnat surprise of the proprietor and
waiter gradually got very drunk without any visible means.
On the following morning the potman observed one of the
hosiriLi of the taproom Boor very have, and mentioned it to
his mister' who found that it could be lifted up without
any impediment, and that a wine-bin in the cellar. ailed
with choice sherry nearly up to the board Lad
been visited, and a great quantity of wine per-
-1 • ed. It appeared that having by wine means dis•
covered that a stock of wine was depo,ited bene.dh the
taproom, the cellar having no ceiling to protect it from
above, the thieves, in order to discover its particular posi-
tion, burnt a hole in the floor with a red list poker, and
dropped pieces of Whereto pipe through until convinced by
their Jingling against the hottliwof their whereabouts, whi
they forced the plank up by means of the poker. The
number of visits to the bins could not he ascertained, but by
the evidence seemed to have been frequent, and the two
prisoners on one occasion, after a strange noise had been
heard, were found near two bottles, but us suspicion was
disirmed by their larking, and, as at that time the lox. of
th, wine was not discovered, no notice was taken of the cir-

eumstanee. The two pt isoneri and some companions were
proved to have repaired to a late coffee-shop in Marti.,
rough-mad, Chelsea, where they regaled themselves on two
di&rent occasions with tin stolen wine.

MONEY MARKET.

[For this daj's City items, see 4t/ page.]

In the market. fur foreign exchange to-day, the
rates on Paris were a trifle lower, being done at '21.95
to 97 S. Drafts on Genoa. Leghorn, and Sicily, were
also in favour of the seller, and the AMC mart he
remarked of hills on Amsterdam, which left off

•
11.16 L to 17. On the other hand, the rate upon
llamlittrg was a trifle higher, closing at 13.7 to 1,
and Frankfort hardly found buyers at 119 to ',. Hills
on Austria were quite a drug, and the few transac-
tions that took place were done at 13.10 and up-
winds. The amount of bills negotiated was nut con-
siderable, •,as 4iarties held hack, and the amount re-
quired on Pans was not so gnat as was expected.
The prices negotiated were:

The discount on gold yesterday at Paris was 2 per
milk, which, at the Engiish mint price of 3/.175. 10Id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.09. t ; and the exchange at Paris on London at'
short being 21.97', it follows that gold is 0.477 iter
cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

By to-day's advice,. the price of gold at llamburgl
is 4tn per mark, whieh,:at the English mint price of
3F. 17s. 10!d. per ounce for standard gold. gives an
exchange of 13.51; aind the exchange at Hamburg
on London at short being 13.51, it tidlows that gold
is of equal value in both markets.
Aconling to the last accounts, the course of ex-
, change at New York nu London for bills at 60 days'
sight is 110 per cent., and the par of exchange be-
tween England and America being 109 23-40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.12
per cent. in favour of England. Upon taking into
consideration the difference of interest and charges
of transport, we find that the present rate leaves no
profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

Bullion remains at the same prices a.s last week.
The supply of silver about meets the demand for
India.

'The document was turned J. and W. Thompson, and
dated 51, Wynniatt-ormt.
The Alderman said he had placed the circular in the
hands of Mr. Itoe with instructions to make inciuiries of
the parties issuing the circulars, who were said to be
respeetable brokers. Mr. Ito: was told by the landlady of
the house, at jl,Wynniatt-street) that she knew nothing of
Mr. Thompson. he did not reside there. Mr. Roe asked
' her if she was sure she knew nothing of the party, and she
then said Oh, yes." She remembered then that she re-
ceived letters fur Mr. Thompson. Ile asked her fur that
party's address.. but she could not tell that, as he never
came there himself hut always sent his clerk. Mr. Roe
then asked her if she knew the clerk's name and address,
but she said she knew nu more of him than she did of his
' master. The house did not look like the mikes of a hill
broker, fur the woman took in mangling, and had a notice
over the door to that effect, to let the public know what
occupation she followed.
Alderman Wilson said he thought enough had been said
to place the public on theirguard, and he felt much obliged
to his Welsh correspondent fur putting it in his power to
*cud out this caution through the press.
Messrs. Irriny and Broom were summoned for sending
out coals with an imperfeet weighing-taxi-bine, but did not
appear. Thomas Winch, their carman, was summoned for
a similar offence, and fined 104. with 34. co ts. Mr. Jahn
Turner, of 31, Lime-street, was fined the same sum for the
same default.
The machine used by these parties is that known as the
jock-in-the-box," constructed en the steelyard principle;
but as its action and registry are concealed from the buyer,
its use is illegal. The several defendants pleaded that it
was in common use, and they were not aware that it was
contrary to law. -

According to the official returns published in the
Ginptte of last Tuesday, the total note circulation of
all the private banks of England and Wales during
the week ending the Rth of March was 3,394,476/.
In the week preceding the amount was 3,381,337/. ;
there is, ismseguently, an increase of 13,139!.
The note circulation of the joint-stock banks du-
ring the same week was 2,679,303/., and the pre-
ceding week's return being 2,663,936 L, the increase
is shown to be 13,367/.

On taking into consideration the active circulation
of the Bank of England which, in the week in ques-
tion, was 18,994,0551. (being 241,520/. less than the
week previous) we find the aggregate note circula-
tion of England and Wales to be 23,008,034/., which
shows on balance a decrease of 212,814/. as com-
pared with the returns for the previous week end-
ing the Ist of March.
