POLICE.-YUTERDAY.

MARYLEBONE.—CHAROE AGAINST A CLERGY-SIAN
Ro6ert Thornton, who described himself as a clergyman,
residing at No. 24, Great Quebec-street, but who, when
taken into custody, said that his name was Robert Jackson,
No. 6, Bloomsbury-Areet, was charged before Mr. Long,
with having conducted himself in an offensive and improper
manner as regarded language towards a little girl named
Susan Raiford, residing with her parents in Richmond-place,
Lision•grove. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and
the prisoner was ultimately discharged.

MONEY MARKET.

TRIM PAY E VEXING.

The decline in funded values, so gradual for some
time past an to excite not much attention, and apparently
lees apprehension, received such an impulse today as to
create a certain degree of %citation in the stock market. At
the commencement of business Consols were 935 to I, as
they left off yesterday, and some transactions took place at
those rates; but, in due time, the unfavourable tenour of
the financial reports from the United States began to make
its impression, the effects of which were shortly visible in
some rather considerable sales, which reduced the prices to
93i to 4. They rallied afterwards to the opening quotations,
but, shortly after midday, the rumour that the "Bank was
about to raise the rate of interest imparted a more decided
tone to the speculations for the fall. The market, speaking
technically, became all sellers. Although the Bank notice
in such cues is not usually posted before 2 o'clock, and
such, we believe, was the course to-day, the decision of the
directors in the sense stared was either confidently antici-
pated, or had transpired, as the fact was generally known
before the regular hour, and acted upon. Consols in conse-
quence successively declined to 931, 93 and 921 to 1,
at which the fall terminated for the day, and
the prices recovered to and closed at 93 sellers.
The extent of the decline between the extreme quesations
was therefore equal to half per cent. for the day ; for
the week ending to-day it was equal to about one
per cent. A fall so considerable, sad operations so exten-
sive, are not of frequent occurrence in the stock market, and
they may be understood as bespeaking a state of disquietude
as to the future among the dealers in public securities, and in
the money market, much beyond what a mere rise of a half
per cent. in the rate of interest, or shipments of specie for
the United States, should occasion. It is rather a singular
feature too, that this depression of Console should be accom-
panied with the same scarcity of money stock which has
existed for some time past, so that no small proportion
of the account to be adjusted to-morrow will, probably, have
to he carried over to the next account, or a future day, out
mutual agreement of parties of course, and for a considera-
tion, in oases where the stock cannot be borrowed for de-
livery. As the result, the prices for the next account are
quoted the =mess for money.
This was the day for the declaration of options, and a
large amount of stock was "put," as would naturally follow
hem a fall of prices to the extent. Reduced Threes de-
clined to 931 to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to 941
to 6. The government broker took 10,0001. Reduced
Threes for the national debt. Bxchequer Bile fell in the
latter part of the day to Si to 11s. premium. India Bonds
to 15s. to 20a. premium. Long Annuities to 91. Bank
Stock was 2054 to 61. India Stock 252 to 4.
The transactions in foreign stocks were, as might be ex-
pected in such an excited state of the home market, very
unimportant. It was besides the settlement of account
day, and the dealers were chiefly occupied in making up
their differenees. The business actually done was doubtless
with reference to such arrangements. A partial decline may
be noted in such securities as were dealt in. Spanish Fives
IMO lower at 25 to t ; the Threes at 35 to 4. Portuguese at
351 to 61. Mexican at 23 to 4. But these quotations can
be regarded u little inure than neminsl. Dutch Two-and-
a•Half per Cents. were called in decline at 931 to 91 ; the
Fours remain 921 to 3. Belgian, 941 to 61. Russian, 1 It to 12.
The discount houses, immediately on the publication of
the Bank of England notice yesterday, served the banks and
. connexions by whom supplied with monies for laying out,
or with bills for discount, that in the latter case higher
rates would be charged for discount, and in the former sl-
owed for monies deposited with them.
