THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1862.

1 Jonathan Morris, a cabdriver, said he was driving along
Cockspur-dreet at the time, and saw the two prisoners
attack the prosecutor. Paynter lifted the prosecutor from
the ground, and dashed him down on his face on
the Bag atones. The prosecutor cried " Police!" very
loud, and as two constables were approaching the prisoners
walked away. Witness pointed them out to the constables,
who ►pprehended them. There were no other men near.
Crassessrni►ed by Thompson—There was a lady in my
cab. She saw the assault, but stated that she could not
identify which of the two threw Mr. Prior down.
Miles, 620 A, and Cloak, 222 A, proved that they heard the
cry of " Police," and on goin to the spot found the pro-
secutor rising from the grou and the prisoners about
five yards off. They apprehended the prisoners.
Mr. Cords committed them for trial, and ordered the
police to make inquiries as to their character.

MONEY MAREBT.-(THIS DAY.)

o'CLoci.

The funds show renewed heaviness to-day, and a
fresh decline of 4 per cent. has taken place. Pre-
parations for to-morrow's settlement are in full
progress. English railway stocks are rather flat,
owing chiefly to the almost complete suspension of
business in this department, and prices in several
cases are rather lower. In the foreign stock market
there is diminished activity.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Rauter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
70fr. 85c., showing a reduction of 4 per cent. since
yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 934 to 4, both for money
and to-morrow's settlement, and 934 "buyers" for
the December account. The official business report
is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money,
934, 4,1; ditto, for account, 934, 4 ; Three per
Cents. Reduced, 914, 4, ; New Three per
Cents., 911, 1 ; Bank Stock, 236 ; India Five
per Cent. Stock, 1091 ; ditto Four per Cent.
Debentures, 1863, 1001; Five per Cent. "eufaced"
rupee paper, 105 ; Exchequer Bills, June, 163.,
156., 17s. prem. ; ditto March, 13s. prem.
Business in foreign stocks has been less
active. The Loan of 1854 is quoted 83 to
4 ; that of 1858, 691 to 4 ; that of 1862,
681 to 1 ; and the scrip, # to 1 prem. Turkish
Consolidis are 1 lower, at 374 to 381.
Peruvian scrip is dull, at 2 to 11 dis. ;
Portuguese at 24 to 1 prem. ; Russian, at 11 to 2
prem. ; and Venezuelan, at 14 to 24 prem. Spanish
Passive and New Granada Bonds continue in
request. Greek Bonds show renewed firmness,
but the coupons have further declined.
Transactions are recorded as follows :—Dutch Two.
and-a-Half per Cents., 66 (exchange 126.) ;
Equador New Consolidated, 174, ex div. ;
Egyptian Seven per Cents., 894 ; ditto second
issue, 90 ; Greek, ex Coupons, 151, 144, 4 ; ditto
Coupons, 61, 4, ; Italian Five per Cents., 724,
1 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 334,

I; New Granada ex overdue Coupons and
Hectares, 10, 1J ; Portuguese Three per Cents.,
1853, 47}; Russian Fonr-and-a-Half per Cents.,
92f ; ditto paid-up scrip, 93, ex dir. ; Spanish Pas-
sive, 221, ; ditto Certificates, 91 ; Turkish Six per
Cents., 1854, for account, 83} ; ditto 1858, for
account, 69f ; ditto paid-up scrip, 69, 68e ;
Venezuela scrip, 2i, prem. .

The supply of money for commercial purposes
yesterday was ample, and good bills were taken at
2f to 21 per cent. A moderate amount of business
was done at the Bank of England.
There were no gold transactions at the Bank yes-
day. The 202,0001. by the Persia, from New York,
has been taken for exportation.
The advises from Melbourne announce that
403,0001. in gold had been shipped for England
during the month. The bulk is probably on board
the steamer Great Britain, which had sailed for
Liverpool.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
again rather flat, bills continuing in demand. The
adverse movement, however, was mainly conSned
to the Dutch and Hamburg exchanges. Subjoined
is our usual list : _ _

. , .
Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.16 to ; ditto, 3 days,
ILI3 to 14 ; Ritterdam, 3 months, ILI6 to ; Ant-
werp, 3 months, 25.374 to 426 ; Bamberg, ma. beano, three
months, 13.64 to ; Paris, 3 days, 25.174 to =A ; ditto,
3 months, 25.40 to 5 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months,
1184 to 119 ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 341 to 4 ;
Vienna, eff. do., 3 months, 1145 to 55 ; Trieste, eff. do.,
3 months, 12.45 to 55 ; Madrid, 3 months, 494 to 4 ; Cadiz,
3 months, 494 to ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ;
Genoa, 3 months, 25.55 to 60 ; Milan, 3 months, 25.55
to 60 ; Naples, 3 months, 391 to 4 ; Palermo, 3 months,
1194 to 4 ; Messina, 3 worth 5,_1194 to ; Lisbon, 90 days,
524 to ; Oporto, 90 days, 524 to 4.
The failure is announced of Messrs. Boss and
Lecdham, provision merchants, of Upper Thames-
street, with liabilities to a moderate amount. Their
position has not been considered strong for some
time past, bat the house has been established a good
many years.
We are informed that Mr. A. Paichari, Greek
merchant and Ottoman consul in London, who
suspended payment in May, 1861, has paid all his
accept &twee in full, with 5 per oent. interest.
The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com-
pany have just succeeded in placing an additional
amount of 1,030,0001. of capital, in shares of 101.
each, to be denominated Metropolitan C Ex-
tension shares. The reason of the issue

Fs,--that the original capital has been
found insufficient to complete the line to Flaring-
don-stree. These C shares will be entitled to a
prefc -ential dividend of 6 per cent., rank;ng next
after the Six per Cent. B shares of the Metropolitan
Extension of this company, which were issued two
years ago. As in the case of the B shares, Messrs.
Peto, Betts, and Crampton, the contractors, gua-
rantee 6 per cent. interest during construction, and
for twelve months after tl•e completion of the line.
This Metropolitan Extension Railway, in con-
nexion with the Underground Railway, will form
the completing link in the chain of communication
between the Northern, Southerr, and Western die-
tticts of England, besides drawing a large traffic
from the populous neighbourhood south of the
Thames. The price at which the remainder of the C
Extension c.pital haw been placed is 81. 15e. the DX.
share, or equivalent to 871. 10s. per 100/. stock, at
which price the immediate rate of interest yielded
is nearly 7 per cent per annum. The Metropolitan
Extension Sit per Cent. 10/. B shares are now at
lot, or equal to about 6 per cent. prem. The bulk
of the C Extension capital is already paid up in
full.

It is announced that the directors of the Metro-
politan and Provincial Bank (Limited) have re-
solved to issue to the existing shareholders the
3,000 reserved shares, at a premium of 21. per
share. The allotment will be in the proportion of
four new shares to ten old. A sum of 31. per share
is to be paid by the Sth inst., and the future pay-
ments on the new issue will be 41. per share on the
15th Jan. next, and 51. on the 15th April. It is
intimated that in consequence of this arrangement
the board have no present intention of making a call
ou the existing shares.
The projected Metropolitan Cab and Carriage',
Company (Limited) have announced that a new
system is to be introduced into the management of
the company, inasmuch as fares are to be payable
by tickets. To induce the public to facilitate this
arrangement tickets to the value of 21s. will be sold
for one sovereign. Moreover, each shareholder is
to receive annually, by way of bonus, 10 per cent.
in tickets on the amount paid up on his shares. All
tickets are to be transferable. It is hoped that by
these means, and by the selection of respectable
men as drivers, the extortion and incivility which
are now so much complained of will be remedied.
A petition for the winding up of the Economic
Omnibus Company (Limited) is to be heard in the
Bankruptcy Court on the 15th inst.
