threL—The Recorder said he should be glad of such iu-
fosmation, to assist him in apportioniag the punishment.--
Two et these tradesmen living close to the spot where the
affrky took phase were then examined, and according to their
testimony the conduct of the prisoners and their companions
wee ever, more outrageous and violent that it was repre-
sented to have been by the constable.—The Recorder, having
consulted with Alderman Gibbs, said the only difficulty with
the court was, whether it was not their duty to sentence the
prisoners to be transported; and it was only after a good deal
of consideration that they had resolved to
Dpirefrainkept
labour fit eighteen calendar months, and Pickett tor twelve
months. The prisoners, who appeared quite astonished at
the lenient sentence pinged upon them, nodded up to some of
their companions in the gallery, and said, in an impudent
tone, " (loud bye, it's all right," as they were leaving the
dock.
ROBBERY
old Alf A PUBLICAN.—ii. Nicks was indicted for
stealing a g watch, value 201., the property pf Henry
Wilsn.—The circumsti.nces under which this charge was
preferored were of relit r a singular character. The prosecu-
tor
sis the landlord of the Cold Arms public-house, Lime-
e, and en the 22nd of March the prisoner, who had been
hou
nsed victualler, and was respectably connected, went
a lice
to the house, accompanied bye person named Jackson, and
the latter invited him, with the consent of the landlady, to
go up stairs to see the club-room. They accordingly went up
stain, and Jackson entered the room, supposing the prisoner
was tollowing him, but he missed him, calling rout to
him he found that he had gone into Mrs.Wilsno's bedroom,
and he complained of his having done so, and told him he
thoueht it was a great liberty. Very boon after the prisoner
left the house the watch was missed from the mantel-shelf.
It was proved that prisoner pawned it on the 2-sth ot March,
at the shop of a pawnbroker in London wall, and on his be.
log taken into custody the key of the stolen watch was
found in his possession.—Witnesses were called for the de- '
fence, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. lie was
in nod circumstances, sod not suffering from any pecu—
niary difficulty. He was perfectly sober at the time the
robbery was committed The jury found the prisoner
guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years.

POLICE.—YESTEHDAT.
GUILDHALL.—Titti CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION.—
IV .IVaters,J.Graham,F. Lisf r, and A. Soper,were charted
with being riotous and disorderly,with flinging stones and as-
saulting the police. City policeman Spring said that on the
previous afternoon, while on duty in Fleet-street, he observed
the T. Hamer Waters fling a stone at some brother c• n-
stables. upon which he immediately attempted to take him
into custody, but had no sooner laid his hand upon him for
that purpose, than the prisoner eluded his grasp, and made
towards Bride-laue. He followed, and on overtaking him
he exclaimed, " What do you want with me; what have I
Bohn ? " and struck witness it violent blow across the nose.
A struggle ensued, during which the mob collected. He
(witness) then received a kick in the mouth and also on
tne side of his head, which 'midi red him for some
time insensible; but, recovi ring, he shortly after cap-
tured the prisoner, with the aid of other constables.—
Mr. Samuel Smith, special constable, deposed to the pri-
soa, r, John Graham, walking out Irma the crowd, and
withoot the slightest provocation, giving him a violent blow in
the mouth.—Police constable Cott, 28.5, said that he observed
the prisoner Graham rush out of the crowd, and having
given the blow, after looking about, retire back amongst the
orowd.—Police constable David Hewitt, stated, that while
on duty at the corner of Bridge.street, he saw a great dis-
turbance in consequence of Cott takine Graham to the
st ition house, and observed the prisoner Lister most active
crying out" Down with the police," and exciting the mob.
He took him into custody, end when on the way to the eta-
?ion the prisoner attempted to deprive him of his staff.—
Jori ih Barris, spi dal ,Roglalile, skid, that whit.: passing
down BridgeEtts et at the time mentioned by the other wit-
nesses he saw Soper throw a stone at the police and directly
collared him. lie used most violent language.—Alderman
Sidney hi Id them all to bail to onswer the charge at the
session. Not having bail, the prisoners were all locked up.
Abraham Brown, Elijsh Afars/sail and Charles Whittaker
three workmen, were then charged with assaulting the pot
lire on Blackfriarsbridge on Monday afternoon.—John Ce-
ram, of the city police, stated that he saw Brown, after he
had passed some special constables, turn round end fling a
stone, which hit one of them, whereupon he (the office)
immediately seized him by the collar, and was directly sur-
rounded by a large crowd, and struck several blows. A
large piece of granite was hurled at him which struck
another constable.—Michael Hayelon di posed to seeing
Marshall throw the granite in the airicti di of the last wit-
nese and taking hint into casrodv.—The evidence against
the third prisoner, Whittaker, went to show that h.• was
eagageol in throwirm stole. At tho oth.A rs w ' et had chance of
Brown and Marsh:al.—Aid. Sidney fined them 106 , or 14
days' imprisonment.
WORSHIP STREET. RESHITING SPECIAL CoN-
STABLes IN DISCHAROE OF THEIR DUTY.— IVilaant
Brown was charged with having taken an active part in a
riotous assemblage, and also with violently assaulting and
1 resisting two special constables in the performance of their
office.—Mr. John Calway, of Kingsland, stated that while
doing duty as a special constable in that neighbourhood on
the preceding evening he was called upon to assist in dispers-
ing a lawless mob who were parading through the surround- ,
ing streets with the prisoner at their head, and committing 6
all sorts of excisses. Having observed cne of the gang ;
deliberately smash a tradesman's windows, he took him into 0
custody, but was violently attacked by the pri•oner, , who I
rescued the man and struck witness a violent blow on the
ear, which knocked him into the road. Before he could re-
cover his feet the prisoner again fell upon him and endea-
voured to wrest the stag from his hand, but was prevented
by the opportune arrival of some other constables, and the
prisoner then cher red no his riotous confederates, who made
a rush towards Kingsland-green, where they tore up the
railings for the purpose of arming themselves. By this time
their numbers had swollen to nearly 400, who set all autho-
rity at defiance, and it was not until a considerable time
after that the special constables upon duty in the district
could muster a sufficient force to attack and overpower them.
—Two other special constables, named Prosser and Shild-
wick, also deposed to the outrageous conduct pursued by the
prisoner, who acted throughout as the acknowledged leader
of the mob, and stated that he wailed both of them with
the most sanguinary threats, and that after the gang had
torn up the rails at his instigation, the prisoner made a blow
with on-- of them at the head of Mr. Prosser. which he hail
great difficulty in averting, and was dealt with such force
that if it had taken effect it would most probably have caused
fatal Consequences. The prisoner was ultimately over-
powered, after a desperate resistance, and conveyed to the
station.—Mr. Hammitt said it was most essential, in the
general excitement which now prevailed in the public mind,
that such dangerous characters as the prisoner should he 4
fully apprised of the serious consequences they entailed upon I
themselves by their turbulent proceedings, and that an ample ,
shield of protection should be thrown over those gentlemen
who gratuitously tendered their services, at great personal I
inconvenience, for the preservation of public order, and who I
were themselves liable to severe penalties if they failed in the j
discharge of their self-imposed duties. Be the act 1& 2
William 1 V., cap. 41, sec. 11, it was provided that any. per- '-'
son who should assault or impede a special constable in the ki
execution of his office, or encourage others to the commit stars t
of such an offence, should forfeit any sum not exceeding F.
:.'01.; and, in this instance, ho had no hesitation in imposing ji
upon the prisoner the full amount of penalty for the first ~
assault. and the further sum of 51. for Isis subsequent acts of . Sk,
violence, and, in default of payment, order him to he con- sit
mitted to hard labour in the House of Correction for the
respective terms of two and three months, in a Idition to Si
which he must find good bail to keep the peace tor the fur-
'I
thee period of three months at the expiration of his sentences. 1
SOUTHWARK.—Mons MOW:Ltd ON SPECIAL CON- u
sTAiii.rs - -IV. Brown war charged with assaulting a Mr. 1.
William Harris, a special constable, whilst in the execution 6
of his duty.—The complainant stated, that in compliance s
with his office as special constable, he was on duty on Mon- 1.
day, in the vicinity of the Cornwall-road, when his attention 6
web attracted on observing the defendant strike a female and 4
knock her down. He (complainant) went towards the spat, 1
and the defendant walked awa), but returned again to where
the woman, who had risen iron:4 the ground, was standing,
and a second time struck her and knocked her down. Upon I
witnessing the second attack on the female he immediately
interfered, announced that h,. war a special constable, and
expressed his intention to take her assailant into custody.
The moment, however. he proceeded to do so, the defendant,
i who is a very powerful young man, struck him a blow on
the side of the head which knocked him down, ejaculating
at the same time that he did not care whether he was •
special constable or not. When the complainant recovered
himself from the unprovoked attack he drew his staff and
struck the defendant with it on the head, and also took
him into custody.—A gentleman who witnessed the violent
conduct of the defendant to the female in the first instance,
and afterwards to the complainant when he interposed for
her protection, confirmed his evidence.—Emily Cox, the
female alluded to, deposed that she was struck by thei de-
fendant and knocked down. and thet when she got up he again
attacked her and struck her a second time, and that she had
given him no provocation. She added tt.at she had pre-
viously known the defendant, and that he commenced call-
ing her vile names while she was standing at her own door,
and that when she remonstrated with him and called him a
Her, he then commenced the attack upon her.—The
defendant said that the woman was a loose character, and
was jealous because she saw him walking with another
female, and threw sonic cl,rt at him—Mr. Cottingham fined
the defendant 31. for the assaults, and committed him for a
month t s gaol in default of paying that fine.
WESTMINSTER. htIVRDEROVS ASSAULT. —James
Boyer was charged with the following murderous assault.—
Samuel Stowe, a carman, stated that he was going home on
the previous night, and when within a few yards of his own
house he saw the prisoner, who followed him to his door,
saving he would see him home. Complainant's wife opened I
the street-door, and on complainant asking the prisoner'
what he wanted he struck him a violent blow on the head
with a heavy bludgeon, and then throwing down the instru-
ment ran away, but was pursued and captured. Com-
plainant bled very much from the wound, which although
small was very deep.—Mr. Broderip ordered the prisoner to
find two sureties in 20/. eachH, and him
sent self
to in to answer
the charge at the SeMiOnse was prison.

MONEY MARKET.
Tv MAY EVENING.
The state of the account, and the payment of the
dividends still in progress, have combined to advance
the values of public securities. Those speculators for
the fall, who had previously held out, began to be dis-
heartened yesterday, and to-day, on finding that
events did not answer their ex tations, and by buy-
ing in their sales have to carry ~ ices higher.
They had trusted to the chapter of axidents, Lot
without plausible reason to retrieve their opetatscus,

for certainly in this era of revolutions the chances
seemed all in their favour, but disappointed by the
continued stability of the funds, with the settlement
of account nearly at maturity, they have deemed it the
part of prudence to make their purchases, or make
up, under the apprehension that at the last momentas
prices might go still more against them. vre w
the greater probability of such being the cue, from
the certainty that some portion of the dividends out-
paid would assuredly be applied to reinvestments in
stocks of one class or another, but mainly no doubt in
Consols. The event of yesterday, with Its favourable
development, would ale° have some share in disposing
the recipients of dividends to place them, or any sur-
plusage over necessities, with more confidence in the
funds. From this combination of causes, Consols
advanced and reached 827, buyers for money and the
account day, falling due on Thursday next. A partial
reaction occurred towards the close of business,
from jobbers realising their profits by the rise, which
brought down Consols on leaving off to 821 to 1.
To-morrow options are to be declared ; and, from the
large fluctuations during the account now drawing to
an end, a rather extensive amount will probably have
been brought into play, and may also be made still
available. The settlement of Thursday will, perhaps,
be one of the heaviest and most important that has
vet taken plfice, important as such liquidations have
been for the last year and a quarter. The fluctuations,
the fall and the rise, with the reactions one way and
the other, will embrace a wide range of prices, and
cannot fail to entail very serious losses in some quar-
ters—mainly, perhaps, with outside speculators—
whilst profits as considerable may accrue to others,
although no small share of such profits will perchance
come to be of questionable realisation, should defaults
of any extent take place by which the balance of
accounts shall be disarranged. In such case, large
expectant profits may be converted into absolute
losses as large, from the entire revolution of accounts
created, and the necessity of re arranging them, by
fresh transactions, in the face of an adverse market.
Reduced Threes were 80; to 'three and a
Quarter per Cents, 811 to 1. Long Annuities, 81 to
5-16. Exchequer Bills, 30e. to 41s. premium. Bank
Stock, 184 to 6.
Without any noticeable increase of activity of deal-
ir g in the foreign market, foreign stocks may be re-
ported generally as better in price. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were higher, at 33 to 7 ; the
Fours, at 52 to 5. Spanish Fives, 01 to 101 ; the
Threes, 171 to 181. Passive, 21 to I. Portuguese,
131 to 1.41. Mexican, 14; to 15. Peruvian in ad-
, vane at 21 to 26. Brazilian, 5-1 to 7. Russian,
73 to 6.
Foreign exchange was still in the same unsettled
state, without takers or drawers on some important
places, but on Paris with more regularity in the rates,
although with nearly the came indisposition to do
business in other paper than at short. On Amster-
dam the negotiations were 12.7 to 1 ; on Rotterdam,
12.7; to 8 ; on Hamburg, 14.2 to 4 ; on Frankfort,
123 to 4 ; on Antwerp, no quotation; on Paris, 20.50
(at short 25.20 to 50); on Vicuna, no quotation; on
Leghorn, 31.80 to 32.20; on Napli s, no quotation ;
on Madrid, 43—a1l at 3 months. On Oporto, at GO
days, 51. It will be seen from this half-blank list of
exchange dealing how commerce and confidence still
remain embarrassed.

Our sharemarket showed signs of improvement yes-

provement in prices to note, although so far not of
much account. French shares also were in better

opinion.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
PRODUCE—MINCING-LANE, Arum 11.—The sugar
market has not obowu any Wm of improvement, but opened for the
work with a very dull appearance. By private contract 30 hhds. only
cf West India sold, • quantity sauntuu.ally small that that particular
market may be said to have been suspended to-day. MOO bap .Mauritius
"'ere offered in public sale, and a fair proportion sold a anode under
Friday's currency. Refined dull of sale, at 535., 534. 6d. for
quy.—Coffee : The public sales have consisted of mixed andsupe-
rior qualities, and did not alter uotations, article wears a
very heavy appearance.—Satpetreq wild in public sale at a decline of
Gd. to Is. upon the extreme prices of lot week. Refraction 44 to 12i
sold 344., 3I i. aid.—Pepper : a bad quantity sifted Sumatra sold at
previous rates, 214., 2,d. per lb.—Cotton remains neglected.—Rum
steady but inactive.-13t. Vincent's arrowroot bought in to N. per
lb.,—Tallow remains at 520.—1 n other articles no alteration, but
markets generally wear a dull appearance, and the absence of export
orders has a depressing iriftnence as many articles.

COTTON.—LITERPOOL, APRIL 11.—The market to-
day was heavy ; 2,500 bales only were sold, 300 of these for export.
Prices: New Urbana, bowed Georgia, 4,.1. to 51il. ; Gusts,
to aid.
MANCH VITRA, APRIL 11.—Our market presents much the
same aspect which it has done during the las: fortnight. The conti-
nental houses may be said to be at present quite out of the
market. Nor can we be surprised at this, considering the mi.
' settled state of monetary affairs in every Pert of Eutope. from
the Baltic to the Mediterranean. We have heard of a
lit le business being done for Bombay daring the last few
days, and a rather better demand for some descriptions of
cloths suitable Ibr the home trade, but the operations have been on
so limited a scale as to have produced very little effect on the general
tone of the market. At the present moment the prices at which even
small parcels of goods are sold cannot be fairly quoted as indicative
of the prevalent rates. Prices, jwd now, are not the question with
those who are generally the largest buyers—an entire suspension of
their operations being the policy acted upon. Lower prices have been
taken today for yarns, arising from the supposition that the rates of
the raw material are likely to be lower. Th
esefficial report of the
mate of employment in the borough of Maer, made up to this
date, under toe inspection of Captain Willis, exhibits very little, if
any difference, as compared with last week.—Munebeerr Bannister.
WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lume, APRIL 11—The at-
tend. or of merchants et the Cloth galls this morning was more an.
msrou- than at either of the markets daring the last week, and the
t !•anic - ma were larger in amount than on either of thorns market
tlaTha ;mown flatten' very enteneiee can be laid to have been done.
