of asking you for the loan of 101., which they will cost me,

secutm thought the proposition a fair one, especially when
the prisoner produced a wedge of silver, or what appeared
vary like silver, and mid that he amid not sell It, as there
was no trading of that kind carried on upon Sundays. Into

<paired, and the prisoner had departed from the place in

fendant, who kept a large number of cattle, including per,

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY ITIINDIG.

The funds were heavy to-day, but with itilesp;Cu-
lation. Consols from 85 declined to 841 to for money
and account at the close of business, but had been
done lower. Reduced Threes, 831 to 1. Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents., 841 to 1. Exchequer Bills,
345. to 37e. premium. Bank Stock, 185 to 7. India
Bonds, 345. to 375. premium.
The business in foreign stocks has borne chiefly on
Spanish, Portuguese, and Mexican Bonds. Mexican
were well supported at 19 to 1, buying and silting
rates, but the transactions were purely of a specula-
tive description. Spanish Five, were lower at 101
to 111; the Threes, at 211. to 21 ; Passives, 2I to 31.
Portuguese, 23 to 1. batch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 431 to 41; the Fours, 671 to 81. Belgian
Four•and-a-Half per Cents., 71 to 2. Russian were
worse at 97 to 9. Chilian, 82 to 4 ; the Three per
Cents. Deferred, 44 to 6 ex-dividend. Brazilian
lower at 71 to 3.

The recent debates, springing out of the exagge-
rated calculations of the Weekly Railway List, pub-
lished under the authority of the Stock Exchange
Committee, have been prodneive of a beneficial effect
in one respect at least. The London and North-
Western board, mainly aggrieved by the misrepre-
sentations published of the state of the affairs of that
great line, have come forwa d to notify that correct
and detailed statements are preparing for affording
the proprietary exact izformati 12 about the situation
of their property. It is Lot to be forgotten, moreover,
that Mr. Glyn, the chairman of that line, duly warned
the shareholders, at their annual meeting some three
years since, that they were no longer to expect the
NS= rates of dividend ; that 9 per cent must not be
expected in future fur years to come, because the en-
gagements of the company were heavy, and there-
fore, as was natural, more capital would be brought
to charge.
The letter of Mr. Nub, one of the editors of the
lnekly Railway List, published under the authority
of the Stock Exchange Committee, which was given
in eztenso under this head this morning, is sufficiently
exculpatory as regards any interference of, or com-
munication with, the committee previously to the
publication of the incriminatory tables of the rail-
ways. Bat it says nothing in vindication of the accu-
racy of those tables, and, as they evidently appear
under the authority of the Stock Exchange Commi•-
tee, the mischief which n suited is not at all ex-
tenuated. That mischief was of a very extensive
nature. Acting upon what was deemed a high stock
exchange authority, bankers and others who had ad-
vanced upon shares at a certa;a aide and sufficient
margin pressed them upon the market, when secu-
rity could not be obtained in a rapidly-falling market
to re- establ'sh a broader margin, and the property of
individuals was thus ruinously sacrificed. Supposing
that Wetenball's official and authorised daily lists were
published upon a similar principle, with remarks
impugning the validity of one stock value, and crying
up another, where would be the security of the public,
and how might they come to be victimised by the
manoeuvres both ways? The Stock Exchange com-
mittee, composed of many honourable men, cannot
fail to appreciate the degree in which they might
chance to be compromised, and to compromise the
public, by lending the authority of their corporate
name to any species of publication over which they
do not exercise a direct control.
