COMMOTION AT • TN,LATIMOAL
Rawlings was finally examimed charged with having raised
a false alarm of fire at the Britannia Saloon, Hottest, Gal
Friday evenieg, at which an audience at 1,600 persons were
assembled. The perticulare of the former examination ap-
peared in our paper of yesterday.—Mr. Lane, the proprietor
of the saloon, informed the magistrate that he had caused
handbills to be extensively circulated, offering a reward of
101. for the appearance of the persons who had pointed out
the accused as the actual perpetrator of the outrage, but that
no one had oome forward, end he was therefore unable to
adduce any further evidence to implicate the prisoner.—Mr.
Hammill said he should require him to find substantial bail
for his appearance at the sessions to answer any charge that
might be brought against him.
MARLBOROUG STREET. Tay ROBBERT IN
MADDOX-STASNT.—NSW CHAROZ.—J. Pemberton, G.
Dickinson, sad J. Bannister were brought op for re-
examination, charted with being concerned so a robbery at
the louse of Mr. Trefford, in Maddox-street, but as none of
the property could be traced Mr. Bingham did not consider
there was sufficient evidence to justify the detention of the
prisonera—The inspector said he had two other charges to
make ageism Pemberton sad Bannister. Theeecharges,which
were for burglary, rested chiefly upon the evidence of the
boy Taylor, who on the former examination, reported in our
paper of Aug. 14, had owned to having given contradictory
evidence, and had confessed that he had planned with m-
other boy to some SOON one of the robbery in order to ob-
tain the reward.—On the second charge, that of robbery in
• house in Upper Berkeley-street, the person in charge of
the house stated that it had been entered by some
perinea, end a book and a copper stolen. A book found at
Pemberton's lodgings was produced, and identified by the
last witness,—Mr. Bingham remanded the prieoncrs until
Friday next on this charge, and directed that the boy Taylor
should be kept in safe custody until that time, to give eel-
, donee when required.
SOUTHWARK. CHAIM'S OP OBTAINING MONET
UNDID! FALSI PIIIITINCLS AGAINST AN Arroamer's
Crane.— W. Noll, a solicitor's clerk, was charged with ob-
taining ten shillings from • poor woman named ManneU,
under falai pretences. The complainant's husband and two
others had been charged with burglary, and she wished to
have him defended by • solicitor. She saw Hall, who repre-
sented himself to be a 'elicitor, and agreed to conduct the
defence far ten shillings, which she paid. lie left her at the
court, and did not return untitake examination Ina over ;
and when she called upon himilb return the fee (which she
had great difficulty in raising) he said that he had given it to
Mr. Hardman, his employer.—The said be bad a
salary of 361. per week, and was by Mr. Hardman
to take the instructions of prisoners w he was employed
to defend. He admitted that he received 101. from the com-
plainant, and distinctly informed her that he was then going
to the Central Criminal Court to apprise Mr. Hardman of
the circumstance, and to get him to come over to that court
to defend her husband. A great portion of the 10s. tee was
paid for cab hire in seeking his employer.—Mr. Hardman
stated that he authorised the prisoner to take instructions
from clients and to receive fees, but be had not received the
fee in question.—The prisoner complained that he had re-
ceived a dreadful beating from the complainant'sfriends, who
attacked him as he came from the Old Baily.—Mr. Cotting-
hem committed him for trial, taking ball.
THAMES.--OBTAININO Goons ORDER FALSE PRE-
TIMBAL—J. BoucA, recently captain of a merchant-
man, was charged with having obtained various articles
ender false pretences. On the 18th instant the pri-
rimer went to the shop of Mears. Brown and Red-
path, ironmongers, in the Commercial-road, and mid he
came from the ship Senator, producing an order, which he
said was signed by James Barber, the ship's broker, for some
knives and forks. He was supplied with 2 dozen knives
and forks, value 445. It had since been ascertained that
there was no such person as James Barber connected with
the Senator, neither had any authority from any person con-
netted with that ship been given to the prisoner. He called
again on Thursday for some more knives and forks, and was
given into custody of a polieseonatable. The officer traced
the articles to the shop of a pawnbroker in the Blackfiiars-
road, from whence an assistant attended and identified the
prisoner as having pledged them for 11.—He was fully com-
mitted for trial.
loamy op Futterman.— W. Wells and his wife were
re-examined, dar with having robbed Mr. Savage, me-
dome', No. 246, Nitachapel-road. The first examination
appeared in our paper of Tuesday lest. The male primmer
had been in the employ of the proeeeutor. Mr. Savage bad
mimed various articles of conaderable value, and was in-
formed that the male prisoner, who occupied a room adjoin-
ing his auction-room, had been seen taking some things out
of it. On taking a policeman to give him in charge they
met the female prisoner with • bundle. When the mw them,
she tried to escape, but was stopped, and the bundle was
found to contain some bed furniture, which Mr. Bayne had
deposited in his auction-rooms only the night before. On
searching their lodgings several articles which Mr. Savage
identified as his property were found.—They were both fully
committed for trial.
EXTBNSITS BXUGGLINO.—Ten seamen, named Schroedsi.,
Petto,Schoultkas, Croup, 3l'Dorialst, Cameron, Harrison,
Taylor, Yang, and AO, were charged with carrying foreign
manufactured tobacco, contrary to the statute. In neither
of the cases did the quantity attempted to be smuggled by
each person exceed Ms. and they were therefore summarily
adjudicated upon. They were severally fined—the four first
is the sum of 20s. each, Abh 84., Young Bs., Taylor 10s.,
Harrison 12a., hi'Donald 15e., and Cameron 201.. according
to the respective quantities they had each attempted to coney

MONEY MARKET.
MONDAY EVENING.
The transactions in the funds were light and unim-
portant to-day, and prices with little fluctuation. The
peeparations for the settlement of amount, which
cams off on the 26th (Thursday next) have chiefly
absorbed the attention of the market. The options,
which a large amount are said to be depending,
'tend for the day before. Consols have ruled alter-
nately 84 and 871 for money, and this account. At
the close of business they were called 87 to i both
!wavy and time. For the October account some deal-
ings took piece at 871 to 3. Reduced Threes were
873 to 1 ; Three and a Quarter per Cents., 89 to ;
Long Annuities, 9 to 1-16 ; Exchequer Bills par to 3s.
prem. ; Bank Stock, 196 to 7.
The foreign market was in the usual passive state,
with quotations for the most part unaltered. The in-
telligence from Mexico, rid the United States, was of
too undecided a character to have any effect upon the
bonds, which were quoted 181 to I as before. Bra-
rilian were done at 84, quoted 83 to 5. Spanish Fives,

he insolvency of any one holding an office of trust
in a great national institution like the Bank of Eng-
land, for national it truly is, must doubtless be a grave
occurrence, but its'gravity comes infinitely magnified
when the party so found to be in default is no less
than the governor, the first and highest fano-
tioturry, of the Bank himself. It is impossible that
such an event, by no means rare or extraordinary in
the more modern annals of the Bank, should not
strongly direct public attention to the concerns of an
establishment, and to the composition 91a board of

improper if not corrupt inflames which have
obtained in the election or selection of members
of the board will assuredly be inferred from
the successive failures which, within a score of
years or so, have brought the board of directors, so
far as individual members, into such frequent contact
with the court of insolvency. Directors of the Bank—
ditestors who have pealed the chair and governors
al4Milly in harness—have been and are seen, with
their honours as such, thick upon them, walking one

meek of knowledge, ability, or !spirituals, bat, aa
the reverse, when not totally leached fer duty,

may be perverse and capricious pro rats of
ignorance and incapacity. Nepotism has its large
share in such a system of selection. Upon the mutual
understanding of a fair division of patronage, if not
indirectly of other advantages, relatives are intro-
duced, to whom the credit and the honour attaching
to a Bank directorship may stand in good stead of ca.
pital in their commercial or other pursuits. Great
capitalists, holders of Bank stock, are conciliated by
the nomination of some more humble banking or
mercantile protege, who not impossibly may be
swayed in the Bank parlour by the influence which
has placed
shim so high. These constitute the almost
invariable class who issue in insolvency. Extraordi-
nary crises determine their fate, for the credit even of
a Bank director must yield in extraordinary ems
junctures where there is, and never was, any founda-
tion of real capital on which it should repose.
A reform of such a self-destructive, self-corrupting
system, is imperative, and cannot fail to be called for.
The Bank direction contains many honourable and
undoubtedly wealthy men, some of them of the first
order of industrial capitilists. There are, however,
others, or there have been, not ranked, at all events,
in the latter category by public opinion. The remedy
lies either with the propnetary, or the government,
or both. Let the proprietary take into their own
hands the election and selection of the members of
the directorial board. It has been well observed by
a morning contemporary, that the post of governor of
the Bank should be a permanent holding, and the
official occupant a person of ability, experience,
and probity, independent in his circumstances,
but totally unconnected with business in any shape.
