having made away with the book cantering the entries '
Miring to such transactions.—Messes. Gibbons and Sturdy,
two of the treasurers and trustees, produced 14 cheques for
'orlon. amounts, drawn by the prisoner in favour of persons
described as members of the society, and proved that all the
eignatures were in the prisoner's handwriting.—Mr. T.
Spearing, the present secretary, and an, ther officer of the
society, proved that they had examined the books, and
ascertained that no such persons as those whore names were
on the cheques were members of the society.—Two cases of
embesslearent, in addition to the above, having been clearly
established, the prisoner was fully committed for trial noon
14 distinct cases of forgery, and 2 of embezzlement. —Bail

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OMNIBUS RITILRY.—
G. Arnett, driver of a cheap omnibus, from Elungerford-mar-
kit to Paddington, was summoned by G. Macint ile, driver of a
rival omnibus, for having. by wilful misconduct, done damage
to his omnibus to the extent of 11. 4s.—A cross summons was
obtained by Arnett against Macintile, for having wilfully
damaged has omnibus to the extent of 81., by running pur-
posely against him, and with having also caused injury to
two of the outside passengers.—The first summons was heard
last week, bat the decision of the bench was deferred until
the cross summate had been gone into. The evidence in
support of the first summons was given by five or six wit•
amass, who all gave it as their opinion that the collision re-
sulted from the wilful misbehaviour of the defendant Arnell.
—Ye,tertlay the summons against Macintile was heard.
The account of the transaction given by several witnesses
was totally at variance with the evidence Oven on behalf of
Mu able. it was stated that the two omnibuses left Run-
gerfoid-market together on Monday night. That during
their progress up Waterloo-place, Macintile endeavoured to
maintain the lead, and that whenever the omnibus had oea
cadon to stop the driver drove his horses into a gallop, and
tried to pus his rival. When in the Quadrant, Macintile's
omnibus stopped for a moment, Arnell's pared at a steady
pre, being full. The conductor of the red omnibus (Mae-
intile's) called out to the driver "On to him." Macintile
whipped his horses and drew his omnibus right across the
yellow omnibus (Arnell's), forcing it against the curb and
into contact with one of the pillars, by which damage was
done to both omnibuses, and two outride passengers on the
yellow omnibus were thrown on the pavement and injured.
—Mr. Bingham said he had no doubt that Macintile was en-
tirely in the wrong, and he ehould condemn him to pay the
damage (80 done to the yellow omnibus, to pay 40s. for
furious driving, sod to give compensation to the parties
who had been injured.
CHARITY.—Tne magistrate acknowledged the receipt of
the remaining half of a 61. note from C. L. C.
MARYLEBONE.—Ronnenr IN A CHURCH.— W. Dan-
vers was charged with having stolen two Prayer•books and
a Bible from Christ Church, Marylebone. On Wednesday,
the 22nd inst, Mrs. Oliver, upon quitting the church, left
her books, as usual, in her pew, and, on the following Fri-
day, found that they were gone; she gave information to
the pew-opener, who asoertained that, on the evening of the
22nd, the books had been offered for pledge at the shop of
Mr. Fish, a pawnbroker, by a person who represented that
they belonged to his sister. He was desired to bring her,
as it was suspected that there was something wrong, when
he quitted the pkce, and did not return, leaving the books,
which were green up by Mr. Fish. The prisoner, who was
identified as the man who had attempted to pawn the pro-
perty, was committed for trial.

MONEY MARKET.

THCESDAT_ EI7II2tING:

The funds have been without any particular varia-
tion to-day, but heavy. Consols were called first
price 851 for the opening, from whence they declined
to 85; to t, and so remained till nearly the close of
the market, when the rates recovered to 85t to
and so left off. The Reduced Threes, 85 to 1.1 fbree-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86/ to it. Long Annuities,
8a to 11-16. Exchequer Bills, 9s. to 12s. premium.
India Bonds, 4s. discount to par. Bank Stock, 1861

to B}.
Shortly before the close of business the foreign
market was taken by surprise by an active demand
for Spanish bonds, in which some considerable specu-
lative purchases were made, accompanied with a rise
in prices. The Fives were done at 14 an advance
of 1 per cent. upon the quotations which had pre-
viously ruled all the morning, and left off 19; to h
the Threes were done at 301, and last called 30} to 1.
This improvement in prices and speculative action
appear, from reports, to have been based upon the
movements of General Espartero, and the results ex-
pected to follow upon his _return to Spain. Much
importance was mysteriously assigned to hie
visit to the Queen, at Windsor, to take leave,
corroborated in general opinion on the stock exchange
by the apparently significant fact that the General
has left, or was to leave, this country for Spain, not
via Paris but direct for Santander. It was inferred,
of coarse, that by avoiding the route through Paris
projects distasteful to the French government were in
agitation ; or at all events that the General was
averse to holding any communication with Louis
Philippe. These reports are given as they were in
circulation, and for so much as they are worth. It
may be doubted whether, assuming the General once
more to be invested with high governmental autho-
rity, the event could prove of any particular advan-
tage to the bondholders, for a long time to come at
least.

Late in the day another piece of intelligence trans-
pired which affected the prices of Dutch stocks.
Lettere were received from Amsterdam rid Ostend,
one of which we have seen, announcing a sort of re-
volution in the Hatch ministry. Van Hall, the chief
of the cabinet, and distinguished as one of the ablest
ministers of finance that Holland has lately pro-
duced, found it necessary to resign, and was followed
by De la Sarratt, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
former to be replaced by M. Rappard, and the latter
by M. van Randwyk, now Home Minister, who was
to be succeeded by M. Van der Heird van Waiven-
dyke. Of the abilities of M. Van Rappard, who had
taken the place of Van Hall in finance, the letters
speak in terms of disparagement, as an " extreme con-
servative," possessing no qualifications for the office
he has undertaken. The difference between the King
and his ministers, which has ended in this separation,
is attributed to the repugnance of the former to the
revisal of, with a view to changes in, the funda-
mental law (the constitution, in fact) of the kingdom,
which bad been consented to by the ministry upon
the repeated manifestations of opinion in that respect
by the states-general. A decline in public securities
at Amsterdam ensued in consequence. When the facts
became known, prices here also were depressed. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. fell to 551 to 56; the
Fours, to 85 to 1. In other foreign securities there
has scarcely been an altenstion. Portuguese were 22
to 3. Mexican 18 to Venezuela, done at 38,
were called 35 to 7 ; the Deferred, 101 to 111. Bra-
zilian, 80 to 1. Chilian, 88 to 90.
A second edition of the Express evening paper was
received in the City at 6 o'clock this evening, with
the intelligence, exclusively, by telegraphic dispatch
from Liverpool, of the arrival of the Ashburton
packet-ship, which left New York on the morning of
the 9th instant, bringing the President's Message to
of which an outline of the leading par-
tie:far:is given in the same paper. Amongst the
stock-dealers, congregating in the coffee-houses about
the Exchange after business hours, the fact and the
intelligence were canvassed with much interest, but
had no immediate effect on the prices of Mexican
Bonds.
