Mr. Jobs= called at his office on Thursday week, and TW►
ranted that he bad a claim for an article supplied to the R.
former newspaper (now dead), besides ether claims, to the
amount of 91. Witness disputed the ebbs, when
son said taid that, if he were not under articles of piece, bMe
would
"do for him." On Monday lam the prisoner renewed his
visit, and wished to know U Mr. Healy was inclined to settle
the claim, and on receiving an answer in the negative, her
became very abusive, calling witness " scoundrel," and
"swindler,' and finished by saying that he would never
rest until he saw him at the hulks, and complainant, there-
fore, considered he was in danger. The chief matter in dis-
puta was the payment dose sovereign for an article which
was never published on account of its libellous
character, it being against Mr. Alderman Gibbs,
who, on a former occasion bound Mr. Jobeon to keep the
pesos towards the ROT. Mr. Barb, connected with the We,-
Imam simmer. Mimeos had told the prisoner to go to the
County Court ff he had any claim, bat that be refused to do.
—Mr. Jobion denied using the language attributed to him,
sad added that he only went to try and get money legally
dee to him toe articles he had written for the Reformer, and
for the French onrespoadent, to whom he was answerable
for the due payment, as he found the newspaper had sod-
dimly stopped, and all the types were being moved away.—

to receive money and pay it into the bankers', and the various

prisoner whether he had paid in ail the premiums on lon
saranose. He replied that be had, but it woe discovered that

MONEY MARKET.
FRIDAY EViIIING.
From the comparative absence of business more
than any other cause the funds did not maintain the
full advance which was achieved yesterday. At 871
to 3 ex-dividend, which with a momentary exception
were the ruling rates all day, for the opening, Consols
were lower 1 per cent., leaving therefore on balance
per cent. for the rise as between to-day and Thurs-
day, instead oft per amt. as yesterday. The trans-
actions were few and inconsequential, but
the fact of a decline, however slight, in
such circumstances would seem to signify
that, unsupported by active speculation, the natural
I tendency of Consols would rather be to gravitate
downward., although u at present assuredly in a
fractional degree only. Where the market is healthy
and natural, though business may be inactive, the
tendency of prices would be upwards, or at all events
equable. Reduced Threes lett off 87 to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871 to 1. Long Annui-

Patch stocks were in demand to-day, and obtained
better prices, although the latest advioes from Am-
sterdam report the market for them dull, and slightly
in decline. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were lad
quoted 481 to t ; the Fours, 73 to t. Belgian were
still stationary at 70 to 2. Russian, 101 to 2. Spanish
Fives, 12 to 1; the Threes rather higher at 251 to t ;
Passive, 3tot. It was known to-day that to-morrow
the customary notice is to appear from the Spanish
financial agency for the payment of the half-year's
dividend on the Spanish Three per Cents., due on the
first day of next year. Portuguese were 24 to 5.
Mexican were a Amide better than yesterday at 22 to

vian lower at 381 to 91. Venezuela, 14 to 16.
Foreign exchange on some of the chief drawing
places was rather-higher to-day, the chief exception
being Paris, on which the rates were more in favour
of the seller. On Amsterdam the negotiations were
12.21 to I ; on Rotterdam, 12.21 to 3 ; on Antwerp,
25.80 to 85; on Hamburg, 13.12 to 121 ; on Frank-
fort, 1211 to 1; on Paris, 25.70 to 721 (at short,
28.421 to 45); on Vienna, 11.20 to 26 ; on Leghorn,
31.93 to 32; on Naples, 40 ;ca Madrid, 471 to ; on
Lisbon, 514 to at 3 months. The transactions
were on a limited scale only.

nary circumstances of the week in question. The
next returns may be expected to present some changes
of interest.
From Hamburg on the 12th inst. funds and shares 11
come in decline, as the result of lower rates advised
from Berlin. Money was still superabundant, and t
without employment. The grain market was more
firm, and wheat on the spot was paid somewhat
higher, at 395. and 40s. for good quality. Exchange
an London at three months offering at Is. higher.
From St. Petersburg, on the sth inst., it is stated
that a thaw had set in, so that, although there was
still ice, the bridges over the Neva had been replaced.
At Cronstadt the harbour was qui's free, and naviga-
tion open. Exchange on London, 361 to I.
