from half-past 11 o'clock till the officer apprehended me.
Previously told. coming in, a person called 'Richard Evans
asked me to take care of an umbrella which he had, during
his temporary absence, and he abaci gave me the cigsr-case,
which Illeomidered to be empty. Of the contents I knew
nothing until the officer opened it at the Mansion-house.
Had I known what the object of Mr. ForresWr was, I eeuld
have easily put him in possersion of Richard Evans, but I
was hurried up stain quite saddeuly.—The prisoner was re-
manded for a new days.

the prisoner was porter, and had occasionally been seat out
with parcels to the wharfs, and he had to pay the charges
and bring back the receipta. It was his duty to account to
me for the money he had paid and booked. Our practice
wee to supply the defendant with the money and he was to
account to me fur the difference between the receipts he
gave me and what he refunded. On Monday he brouht
mss the receipt for 7s 10.1., mid aleo the receipt fir 7s 6.1..
and I observed that they had been altered. I tromptred
them with his book, and found there were variations, aad
upon being asked to account for them he made no reply.—
James J. Chapman, clerk at Carron-wharf, said the receipt i
produced for 7s. 10d. was partly in his handwriting, and was
originally given by him for a parcel for 10d. paid, and it had
been altered to 10 parcels, 7,10 d. He only received 10d.—

The whole four persons had been at a drawee in Gray's Inn- ~
lane, and hail afterwards adjourned to the lodgings of D. 2,

' Lyons was knocked dawn with a poker Mrs. D. Connell
caught bite by the hair and le• pt hint dawn, while her has-
band and his brother, the one with the poker and the other
with the tire-shovel, kept heating him. The other witness
'received a fair proportion of the same punishment. It
farther appeared that one of the prisoners had stabbed Peter
• Lyons in the arm.—Ald. Gibbs characterised the affair as err -,
Irish row, but told the whinnies that they might indict the 1.,
prisoners at the saw icon. The sentence was received with as in
I much surprise by the prisoners as by the persons in court. g

The funds were, as in ordinary times, without any
sensible variation to-day in the midst of all the ad-
verse *deices from continentalomarketa about stock
values. In fact, however, as this is the only European
country unaffected by the political convulsions which
prevail everywhere else more or less, it follows natu-

perty seeks rouge herc, and hero will roam.'

It is difficult to attempt to describe the state ot
feeling in City circles about the state of affairs,
monetary and political, such is the sort of
stupefaction reigning. It is still gmtif)ing to
be able to report the unflinching steadiness
o! British securities. It will contribute in
some degree' perbaps to ensure the same stability
