knees in the yard of a house in Palmer'. Village. Westmin-

soner replied "nothing." The cot:stable then took lain into
custody, when he made *desperate resistance, and committed
'series of fet minus assaults upon the poli:e, e.nt it overpowered
by numbers. A water-pipe in the s and where the prisoner
was discovered had been torn down from the wall, and a
portion of it wag found outside the yard. Buchanan stated

violence. He the n made an r ffort to get at his pocket, at

do for you." Prisor.er, after using this the, at, made so
many attempts to bite witn, se, and wee so via at, that he
was obliged to use hi' truncheon. Witness was ea lame in a

that witness found it necessary to strike him with the piece I
of lead pipe which be had just icked ea?. in orate to make

Skit'on, after confirming cast of tine previous testimon,
stated that all lateral is to induce the pc soner to go quietly

MONEY MARKET.
Mos OAT Evernarn.
The liquidation of account, the settlement of which
is fixed for to-morrow, has been the chief occupation
on the stock exchange to-day. Console, contrary to
expectation in many quarters, declined upon it. From
861, at which they opened, they fell off at the close to
86 to for money. The speculators for the fall,
therefore, do not appear to be so much punished as
was expected, so far at least as events have proceeded
to-day. It io a fact, which may be vonahed for, that
large quantities of money stock have been bor-
rowed from bankers, and the loans paid for
with much liberality of course, by specula-
tors with large deliveries to make. It was asserted
to-day, also, that large deliveries, still unprovided for,
would have to be made to-morrow, about which there
might be an uncertainty calculated to affect prices.
It may be doubted, however, although such was the
belief in very respectable quarters, whether the fact
will be exactly verified by the tesult, for it is diffi-
cult to understand how skilful operators shall be found
so much at default as to leave over their accoents
unprovided for to the last day. It may be concluded,
perhaps, therefore, that :he final balancing of to-
morrow will make neon the whole little difference in
present prices, supposing the absence of any political
circumstances capable of affecting them, the probabi-
lity of which would seem after all to be more against
than in ravelr of pricee. Reduced Threes were 85

Toe foreign market did tot emelt° from t' .c apa-
thetic state in which it has remained for mom• time
past. There was some inquiry about Mexican,
which, upon the strength of considerable
remittances advhtd, and of funds known to be
in hand, should it was supposed have improved
rather considerably to-day upon the further accounts
or reports received by the Britannia. The bonds,
however, improved very slightly at 211 to t, and
were without much business. New Grenade v ere in

The Hamburg letters of the 10th describe the
same abundance of unemployed mousy as for some
time past, bat with funds and shares lower in conse-
quence of tee unsettled and equivocal state of affairs
in Berlin. Bills were scarce upon all countries but
Austria and Russia. Exchange on England dearer
by 1 to 14 than former quotations and from hence
was considered to quote too high for dealing. Gold
was 1 schelling higher. Produce and corn generally
with a flit market, but sugar was finding a good
market in Russia, where the beet-root euear was a
failure. In Germany the crop and manufacture of
I this sugar was considered however a fair average.
Exchange operations of some consequence wore
' going l t between foreign banking mere harts here, and
at Hamburg and other parts of the continent,against
' bullion, mostly silver bullion of coarse, iespatehed
'from hence, of which large quantities wak4 have
been expedited to various parts abroad for some
months past.

Shares were dull in the latter part of the day, al-
though with a fair enough market in the morning.
The variations, as will commonly be seen, depend
upon the course of Consols. The share market. it is
understood, has been rather freely sup,,licd by Stock
Exchange holders to-day, and not improbably under
pressure for making good their " bear " accou .ta in
