CLERK ENWELL.—Fn smote Dimino@ D arviwo.—The I
driver of an omnibus, No. 123, badge 4,987, was charged
with wanton and furious driving, so as to endanger the lives
of passengers. On Monday night the prisoner was driving
at the rate of about eight or nine miles en hour, in apron-
tion to another omnibus, in the New-road, new St. Pancras
Church. A cart containing six persons was driving in the
contrary direction, when the wheel of the prisoner's omnibus
mime in contact with the wheel of the cart and overturned it
with violence, and two women were thrown out of the cart
and much bruised. The cart was thrown under • van which
was loading with goods. The cart was at the right aide of
the road at the time, and driving eta proper peas. The
prisoner had no badge on, and was given into custody. The
evidence went to show that he drove against the cart wil-
fully. The miles belonging to the cart were not in attend-
ance, they having received compensation from the prisoner.
—Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was fortunate for the prisoner that
the accident was not attended with fatal consequences. He
was fined /is., and cautioned as to his future conduct.
MARYLBBONB.— ROMIERT or WATCHES, ite.—C.
&feaster was re-examined, charged with having committed
a robbers in the day time at the shop of Mr. Morris, watch-
maker, Margaret-terrace, Harrow-road. The evidence given
on the first examination, which appeared in our paper of
Wednesday, was to the effect that on Tuesday, 21st instant,
while Mr. Morris was dining below stain, the prisoner, pro-
bably by the aid of a picklock key, effected an entrance into
the premises, and on Mr. M. going up, the prisoner, who
was then in the parlour, struck at him twice and escaped
by the front dour into the street. He went up to a chaise
which was Mending a chart distance off, with another man
in it, and taking from his pocket • handful of watches threw
them hem him towards the vehicle in question, and made
off ; three watches and a gold case were found in the chaise
and in the road, and in en instant the man who was anted
in the vehicle jumped out, saying that he would endeavour
to capture the thief. The prisoner was followed to a
marine-store shop, and was seen to thrust three other
watches and a chain beneath a quantity of rags. His
friend got clear off; the horse and cart were taken care
of by the police. A charge of plate robbery at the residence
of the Rev. Mr. Burton, Harrow-road, was next gone into.
—Charlotte Houlton, one of the servants, deposed that on
Tuesday, the 14th inst., at about half-past three, she heard
the rattling of plate, which was then on • stand in the hall ;
but thinking it was her master who was handling it, she took
no further notice of it at the moment ; is • short time she
heard the front door shut, and, on looking out, she mw a
man whom she believed to be the prisoner running up the
road ; he got into a chaise, in which was another men, and
they were quickly out of eight she missed from the *ls
stand seven silver forks and eight silver table speeee.—The
prisoner, who, by the advice of his solicitor, nig he theeld
reserve his defence for • future occasion, was essemitted for
trial upon Mr. Morris's charge, but will be brought up again
next Tuesday.
W ESTM I NSTE R.— G aoss MrecotntJcr or AN Om cgs
AT THE MILLALNIC PLNITENTIART.—T. H. Bird, a warder
at the Mifibank prison, was charged with carrying in tobacco
to the convicts contrary to the regulations—Capt. Grove,
governor of the prison, said that there had been an inquiry
on the previous day before the inspectors of prisons with re-
spect to tobacco having been taken into the prison at Mill-
bank. Witness spoke to the defendant about it, when he at
first denied that he had taken tobacco in to the convicts, but
subsequently, on being confronted with the mother of a pri-
soner named Briton, who said in his presence that he had
taken tobacco in to her son, and had received ss. and • hand-
kerchief for so doing, he admitted it ; but said he had done
no more than other officers in the prison. Witness
told him that if he would let him know the names of the
other officer, to whom he had alluded he would use his in-
fluence for him not to be prosecuted, but only dismissed. It
was part of defendant's duty to watch and see that no such
article as tobacco was brought into the prison. Defendant
contented himself by saying that the governor bad told him
that if he would answer the question put to him, he would
use his influence to prevent him being prosecuted.—Copt.
Williams, one of the inspector, of prisons, said, that in can-
eideration of the governor having promised to use his in-
fluents in defendant's behalf, and the latter having made
some disclosures, he hoped the magistrate would inflict as
slight a punishment as he consistently could.—Mr. Brederip
could not feel himself justified in imposing a less penalty
then 3/., which was immediately paid.
ROBBERY AT ST. MARK'S COELHO'S—M. Mahoney, abo
about 17 years of age, was finally examined, charged with
breaking into St. Mark's College, Chelsea, and stealing •
'set number of books, cues of mathematical instruments, and
other articles. The particulars were given in our paper of
last Wednesday. Yesterday, Mr. Beeknell, the superin-
tendent of the V division, attended, and conducted the case.
The necessary witnesses being present, the investigation was
brought to a close and the prisoner fully committed for trial.
THAMES.—A DRVNII EN CAMIAN.— T. Nightingale, •
cab-driver, No. 2,602, was charged with being drunk on his
box, and endangering the life of • gentleman. Police con-
stable K 67 stated that the previous night, in the New-
road, St. George's-in the-East, he saw a cab coming down the
road at a furious rate, and the prisoner, who was driving,
was reeving backwards avid forwards on the box. There
was • gentleman also on the box, but he appeared to
he vainly endeavouring to restrain the impetuesity of
the driver. There was another Bth standing in the road,
and the prisoner's cal came In violent contact with it,
and both himself and the gentleman were thrown with
great violence to the ground. The prisoner's own cab
was broken nearly all to pieces, the other one was In-
jured. Witness picked up the gentleman, who was insensible
and bleeding profusely from a wound in the head, and con-
veyed him to the London Hospital. Witness had called at
the hospital that morning and ascertained that the injured
individual had since been taken to his own residence. His
hurts were not serious.—ln his defence, Nightingale asserted

that the geationee Dad taken him about from plate replace,
and given Wm Mak till he scarcely knew .I.llt he wee about.
—Mr. Y mid that the mere circumstance of his being
drunk on Wales rendered him liable to two months' impri-
sonment with bard labour. As however, there NU nothing
prt slowly Mom @plait his odometer, and it was probable
he weehtilwi rook el Wish an expensive affair, ha
would give Wm the erdwe et payieg a penalty to the Queen
of 20a—TIse=sr diaikeed le would not pay, and was
locked up in
EXTORTION lIT • W•111:11/C•11. T. G. Jones appeared
to answer the charge et Mr. Z Morrice, for extortionate
' overcharge in his fare. The emplidaant arrived in the river
by the Ajax, Cork steamer, on Sunday, and engaged the
defendant to rote him and two others to the Alderman's-
staire, almost immediately opposite to where the vessel lay.
Under one pretence or other the defendant spent haltan-hour
on a job which might have been done in a few minutes, and
then demanded 12s. 6d. as his fare. The demand wu re-
listed, when be came down to Bs. Gd., which Mr. Morrie*
paid; but feeling that ha had been imposed upon, he insti-
tuted the present proceedings with a view to the protection
of the public.—Jones, in his defence, said the gentleman grid
the money voluntarily.—Mr. Mortice distinctly denied Ude
and added that the defendant, when the luggage wee 4lds
boat, acted as if he (complainant) were utterly at his mercy.
—Jones then set op another plea, urging that he was enti-
tled to double pay, as he had another waterman with him,
and the job engaged them both.—Cole, a beadle of the Wa-
terman's Company, proved that the job would not require
the labour of two watermen.—Mr. Yardley ordered the de-

Pendent to pay I fine of 20e., but at the initenee of Mr. Mor-
rice the fine was reduced to 12e.

MONEY MARKET.

Tyr/MAT EVIINIWO.

The public securities have been quiet to-day, in
defiance of fresh failures in the commercial world,
rumoured and real. Several suspensions have un-
doubtedly occurred in the manufacturing districts.
Parties involved in overdone cotton and other specu-
lations have had to suffer the penalty of their impru-
dence, and here also further troubles have existed.
Dismissing from our memory what has been vaguely
reported of other firms, we have, we rejoice to say,
only one actual and reoognised failure to advert to,
which is that of the much and deservedly esteemed
house of Perkins, Schlueter, and Mullins. It hag
been the misfortune of this firm, whit* has been en-
gaged in the Russian and Indian trades, to have to
withdraw bills to the amount of 80,0001. from the
hands of the Bask of England, the parties upon whom
they were drawn—chiefly, we believe, Messrs. Reid,
Irving, and Co., and Messrs. Cockerell and Co.—
having stopped payment. This difficulty they
could have borne, but the last overland mail
having brought them heavy remittances on the same
insolvent firma, good as are their general resources
and their credit, they have been so taken by surprise
as to have been necessarily compelled to ask for in-
dulgence. Mr. Perkins is said to be the son of the
eminent and opulent brewer belonging to Menne.
Barclays' house, in Southwark, and the circumatmese
of the firm and its connexions are altogether se
superior, that no creditor need, we understand, be
alarmed for his eventual security. Reports of an un-
favourable tendency relative to other houses caused
muck excitement, but no other cases of moment, not
very much before the public already, were substan-
tiated. The liabilities of Messrs. Perkins and Co.
were declared by some to reach half a million ster-
ling, but we are assured, on competent authority, that
they do not exceed one moiety of that amount.l
In Mincing-lane, as elsewhere, the undeserved
and moat cruel reverse sustained by these gentlemen
has been the whole of the day a subject of the deepest
sympathy. They were held in the highest 1116111111 L
Console left off comparatively well. The public
have been making good money purchases, so that the
operations for time have been in a measure defeated.
The " bears" are, however, looking with the fullest
faith to the impression that may be made in their I
favour to-morrow, or the day after, by the intelligence
front the United States. The prices last quoted were
851 to for money, and 851 to for account. Ex-
chequer Bills closed 3s. to Bs. prem.

We perceive that the day of departure of the Wash-
ington from Southampton for New York is advertised
for Oct. 19, ;the same on which the Caledonia
steamer is to leave Liverpool for Halifax and Boston.
It is a subject of remark among commercial men that
this is not as it should be. The public, they observe,
would be more benefited were it arranged that the
vessels should sail alternately each week. The Cunard
line, they allow, is entitled to the preference from
seniority, but they submit that the Ocean Steam Na-
vigation Company ought to alter their day of depar-
ture, if they desire to consult the general interest,
which is that of their customers.
