POLICE.-Y ESTERDAT.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A MAGAZINE CONTRIBUTOR.—
Mr. Hobbes, who stated that he held a situation in the dock-
yard at Sheerness, applied for the Lord Mayor's advice. He
said he had been for live or six years in the government ser-
vice in India during the late war there, and bad written an
account of what occurred during his stay ; this manuscript,
after having communicated to him its nature, he some
months since forwarded to the editor of Tait's Magazine, by
the desire of the editor, requesting an early decision thereon,
as, from the interest it possessed being temporary, delay
would necessarily lower the value. He had since made re-
peated applications but bad been unable to get a decision
upon it, or to get it returned ; all he could hear of it from
the editor was that a literary friend bad been attracted by it
and had taken it away. The manuscript Mr. Hobbes con-
sidered, at the time it was sent, to be worth 200/. He had
offered to take 201., and had threatened to take proceedings
in law, but had received no further answer. He now con-
sidered the manuscript to be valueless, from the fact of the
temporary interest having passed away.—The Lord Mayor
said that an appeal to Scotch law would be next to useless,
but he was sure the pressof London would readily assist him.
He had frequently had occasion to ark its assistance in ex-
posing cases of this kind.—Mr. Hobbes thanked his lordship
and retired.
GUILDHALL.—Cumsor or Eonnaztourrrr.—R. C.
//orris, of Bread-street Hill, was re-examined, charged
with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his
employers, Messrs. Hocking, Hitchcock, and Ridley, woollen
warehousemen, of i 7, Old 'Change, a report of which ap-
peared in our impression of Sept. 29.—The prisoner, who
had been in his employers' eervice about four or five years, in
the capacity of porter, was entrusted with money for the
discharge of such small accounts as might be sent in against
the firm, and at the end of each week to account to the clerk
for such expenditures. This he did regularly without excit-
ing suspicion of his dishonesty, until a quarrel occurred with
another porter, which induced his employers to look into his
account., when they discovered that for a long time he had
been in the habit of altering the various figures in his book to
a large amount, and retaining the balance thus obtained.—
Mr. Williams, solicitor, on behalf of the prosecutors, applied
for a further remand, in consequence of the unavoidable ab-
sence of two material witnesses.—The prisoner was remanded
accordingly.
RONVEHT AT THE POST-OFFICE, FLEET.STREET.—J.
Martin, aged about 18, in the employment of Mr. H. W. A.
Farley, toyshop keeper, was finally examined, charged with
stealing various sums of money out of the till in which tke
money for letters and postage-stamps wu kept. The last
report of the case appeared in our paper of Monday. For a
considerable time Mr. Farley missed various sums of money.
Finding the money one day short ho desired the prisoner to
empty his pockets. He flung some money in the fire, and
this was found to be two half sovereigns and half-a-crown.
About 3311. was altogether miming, being moneys received
for letters and postage stamps. Within fourteen days pre-
vious to the prisoner being taken into custody, about 3801.
was abstracted from the till.—Mr. Farley now said that he
did not wish to press the charge, as it would ruin the lad,
1 and therefore he freely forgave him. He was sorry to say
that he was partly to blame himself for the loose manner
in which he had kept his accounts.—ln answer to Alder-
man Musgrove, Mr. I. Arley said others had access to the till.
—Alderman Musgrove said he thought Mr. Farley to blame
for the neglectful way in which he had conducted his busi-
ness. It was due to the public that the prisoner should be
punished sa well as any other individual. He therefore
stood committed for trial.
ALDERMAN MUSGROVM AND TEI GLOBE" NEWS-
PAPER.—Mr. Alderman MUSITOVO during the morning said
he wished to make a few observations respecting a para-
gatthe,oundero;.hirlonhestayo?
reflectingfildliall !oiliteiste, whitchtm.atizearil
want of punctuality exhibited by the aldermen in their
magisterial duties, and particularly alluding to himself, say-
ing that " he did not make his appearance until 27 minutes

to one o'clock, although the unfortunate persons who *ere
obliged to be in waiting were forced to neglect their business
to attend at 12 o'clock, the hour api”inted to commence
business." Now he wished to remark that, with respect to
himself, if from any circumstance he found himself unable to
attend in time, he always communicated with the officers of
the court to that effect, and desiring that the prisoners might
be brought up half an hour later, so that no inconvenience
should be suffered by any party; and although the magis-
trate should not happen to be present, still the clerks were,
and could facilitate a portion of the business, by preparing
documents, &e. On Saturday he wrote from Worthing to
Mr. Roe, the officer of the court, to prevent a possibility of
income Mance, stating that he could not attend on Monday
till half-put 12. With respect to being late that day he found
he should unavoidably be delayed, and therefore sent a mes-
sage stating at what time he should arrive, and to have every-
thing in readiness. lie hoped no great inconvenience had
been experienced by the public, whose valuable time he was
always most anxious should not be wasted. On the part of
the magistrates he must also remark that they often had to
wait for prosecutors and witnesses, yet they aid not com-
plain, but, on the contrary, waited patiently for their arrival
to proceed with the aces.
WORSHIP-STREET.—Snoormo A WOMAN.-11, H.
TAomas was re-examined for having wantonly fired
off a rifle, loaded' with ball, ate young woman, named
Sarah Meade, who bad since been confined in a den-
gerous state in St. Bartholomew's Hospital.—The com-
plainant, whdexhibited extreme faintness and debility, stated
that while conversing with two female friends in front of the
Eagle Tavern, City-road, on the night of the 29th ult., the
prisoner and another young man, each of whom had a gun
in his hand, accosted them, and the prisoner pointed his gun
at one of her friends, who requested him to desist, and he at
once lowered it, with the observation that it was not loaded;
but directly after raised it to his shoulder, within a yard and
a half of complainant's head, and it instantly went off. She
was not at first aware that she was wounded, and joined in
the laughter of her companions on hearing the report; but
at the same moment experienced a sensation of numbness
down the side of her face which was streaming with blood,
and was only saved from falling by a bystander, who sup-
ported her.—Mr. J. Mather, the divisional eurgeon, who
attended the complainant at the station, described the nature
of the injury as a lacerated wound extending about seven
inches from the centre of the right cheek into the back of
the neck, where there was a corresponding orifice, through
which the ball had evidently passed. He considered the
wound to be of a very dangerous description.—Several other
witnesses were examined, and fully corroborated the coca
plainant's account of the transaction.—The prisoner, in his
defence, declared that it was his firm belief at the time that
the gun was not loaded, and that the result was purely Ricci-
dental.—Mr. Hammill ordered the prisoner to be fully com-
mitted upon the cherge, but consented to accept bail.
CLERKENWELL.—CIIARGE or BIGAMY.—W. D.
Daley was charged with intermarrying with Mary Anne
Barry, his first wife, Susan Galbally, being still alive. The
second wife stated that she became acquainted with the pri-
soner about two years ago, when be represented himself
as a single man. They were married at St. George's
Church, Bloom ,bury, on the 29th of last December.
Sometime after her marriage she ascertained that be had
been previously married, and that his first wife was then
living with her mother, at N 0.3, Crocker's-buildings, Hoxt-n
Old Town. She taxed the prisoner with the deceit he had
practised on her, when he treated the matter with the
greatest levity, and said he thought his first wife had been
long ago dead.—Mary Galbally, the mother of the first wife,
proved that she was present at the marriage of the prisoner
with her daughter in December, 1341, and her daughter was
residing with her at present. He treated her very badly, and
left her very shortly after the marriage, and they saw him two
or three time" during about a twelvemonth, after which they
heard nothing of him until they were told he was in custody
upon the present charge.—The prisoner was remanded to
Wednesday.
MARLBOROUGH.STREET. —Demean 11,IDER VIE
PAWNBROKERS' Arr.—Edwin Howell, agent, was finally
examined, charged with having pawned a large quantity of
stays entrusted to him to dispose of by a German manufac-
turer named \live. The case stood over for the magistrate's
decision on this point. The prisoner, it appeared, had been
engaged by Mr. `'lies in the capacity of agent for the dis-
posal of the stays. Mr. Vllies received 20/. from the pri-
soner, who deposited upwards of 200 pairs with a pawn-
broker as security for the loan of 201. on condition that the
stays should be forfeited if the money was not repaid by a
certain time. This pawning took place without the consent
or knowledge of Mr. \lies. The money was not repaid in
time, and the stays became forfeited, and the pawnbroker
disposed of them to various shops. The tran.action haring
come to the knowledge of Mr. lies, the prisoner was given
into custody on a Charge of having illegally pawned the
property.—Mr. Hardwick decided that the case did not
some within the meaning of the act, inasmuch as the ac-
' eased had not converted the money obtained by the pawning
of the stays to his own use, but had given the sum to the
proprietor of the stays. The accused was accordingly dis-
charged.
PAUPER LIIPOSITIONP.—Ann Flynn wee charged with
having defrauded the parish authorities of St. James's, by
means of fraudulent representations. The prisoner had
applied for relief for herself and two children. The parish
messenger was sent, end was shown two children, which the
prisoner said were hers. She received relief accordingly,
but Mr. Dore, the relieving overseer. having received intima-
tion that the prisoner had borrowed one of the children for
the purpose of imposing on the parish caused her to be
taken into custody.—The case having been clearly proved,
Mr. Hardwick committed her for fourteen days to hard
labour. —Mr. Dore said he bad no doubt that this example
would have a salutary effect, for he had good reason to be-
lieve that the offence was by no means of rare occurrence.
itARYLEI3ONE.—A LADY OP Paoreare ix Direr-
CULTIES.—A lady, who gave her name as Lady Harriet
Beektine, banded a letter to the magistrate, addressed to his
excellency the French ambassador, Manchester-square, and
requested him to see that it was delivered.—Mr. Broughton:
Why don't you leave it at the ambassador's residence your-
self I—Applicant It's of no use. My letters when left
there are intercepted, as I hare every reason to believe, by
the porter. The fact is, sir, I have a weft deal of money in
the French funds, and the investments therein in my favour
were made by the Prince of Capua. King Louis Philippe
has in his possession all my receipts and other valuable
papers, which have been handed over to him by the
prince; and I find it quite impossible to obtain my
rights. lam treated most shamefully. I have written
peatedly to Louis Philippe ; but persons connected
with the post-office have, I have no doubt, pre-
vented my communications from reaching his majesty.
Some more paper* were handed to Mr. Broughton, who,
after perusing one of them, said to applicant The sum
which you consider yourself to be entitled to, and which, as
alleged, his been invested by the Princeof Capua in your
name, is no less than twenty millions sterling.—Applicant
That is the cam, sir; and I claim that money from the
king, who holds all my receipts.—Mr. Broughton : Louis
Philippe is one of the best men that ever lived, and would
not wrong any one of a farthing. Let me give this letter
which you have addressed to the ambassador, to one of my
officer', who will put it in the post, and it will then be ture
to reach his excellency.—Applicant; It will not, sir. The
porter, as soon as he gets hold of it, will destroy it. Let me
have it again.—lt was returned to her, together with the
rest of her papers, and she then made her exit, saying that
she should go direct to Marlborough-street police court, and
try if she could not there obtain justice.
WESTMINSTER.—Tee Ponttc HEALTH.—Seccral
householders in Palace-street, Pimlico, were summoned for
pumping filth out of their cesspools into the public thorough-
fare.--Crow, the parish inspector of nuisances, having proved
that the offensive matter was being almost nightly pumped
out into the street, Mr. Rogers observed that, with the ex-
ception of two or three houses, the filth from the cespoolielef
the whole of the other houses in Palace-street, which is is
the SiOSO vicinity of Buckingham Palace, was disposed of as
the inspector had described, and was most offensive to the
neighbourhood—The householders, in reply, complained of
being in a very unenviable position. These cesspools were
repeatedly emptied, but, as they were liable to overflow
with heavy rains, they were compelled to pump them
out, or go to the expense and inconvenience of having the
matter carried away by carts every two or three days, is
consequence of the want of proper sewage.—Mr. Broderip
inflicted the penalty of 10s. in each case, at the same time
observing, that he wished it to be distinct/ understood that
all offences against cleanliness and the pu'blie health would
be visited, as far as he was concerned, with the most severe
penalties of the law. Sewage in this and other parts of the
metropolis, he regretted to say, was in a most disgraceful
state, but while it continued so it was the duty of persons to
do the best they could, in the present state of things, and
instead of pumping the filth out they must have it properly
carted away. He felt that the householders were labouring
under greet difficulties; still the public health demanded that
the law should be put in force in cases of this description.
SOUTH WARK. C HARIaII OP NEGLECT AOAIWST
RAILWAY Senvanes.-11. Aynseoug4 and E. Howell,engine-
driven in the employment o the London and South-Eastern
Railway, were charged by the superintendent of the good.
department with having by their negligence caused a colli-
sion of two of the engines, thereby doing damage to their
employers' property to the amount of between 601. and 70/.
J. Ward stated that he is watchman in the employ of
the South Eastern Railway Company and that, at six o'clock
that morning, while on duty at the Bricklayers' Arms Sta-
tion, he saw Howell go out with his engine beyond the
points for the purpose of propelling it back again to a situa-
tion where it would be adjacent to the goodie department.
At that time the signals were half down, denoting that cau-
tion was to be exercised; but, notwithstanding that, he
crossed the line, when the pilot engine, driven by she other
defendant, came along ate considerable speed, and the result
was that a collision took place which bad the effect of throw-1
ing one of them off the rails and injuring it very much,
while the other was also much damaged, and both ren-
dered unfit for work until repaired. Neither of the
drivers however, suffered any injury, both having
jumped off their respective engines when they found that a
collision was inevitable. The witness added that he had
no doubt, had the defendants used common caution, the col-
lision would have been avoided, for the pilot-engine would
have been stopped, or so managed, to have allowed the other
engine to cross the line and get upon the rail to return to
the goods department at the terminus. The accident also,
in has opinion, might have been averted, by Aynscough no-
ticing the signal, and seeing all clear before he attempted to
I cross the line—The superintendent of the goods department
fully confirmed the evidence of the witness Wood, and said
that he had no doubt, indepadently of any punishment
the magistrate might think row to inflict on the defendants
for the tame alleged mated 6ess, that the directors would
also give orders for desk lesmedbids dismissal.—Mr. Cotting-
ham semboeed theme ee sus myth's imprisonment each

"'ii.o.sls7.Wloll::ffli;ilL TX A CHVIICH.—Mary Atm
Penny/other was charged with being drunk and disturbing
the congregation at the parish church of St. Mary on the
previous Sunday evening.—Police-constable 90 It deposed
that the primmer was given into custody by the pariah

beadle on Sunday evening at the door of the church. She
was very drunk, sod made use of disgusting language—The
prisoner in her defence said that she went to church to say
her prayers, and was about to kneel dawn. when the beadle
ordered her to leave the church, while in th, act of praying
for her own sins sod the souls of her departed friends whose
bodies were lying in the churchyard. She had frequently
been charged at the court.—Bir. Traill having ascertained
from the police that she had been several times charged with
drunkenness, committed her to Maidstone gaol for one
month.—Ou hearing the decision the prisoner's piety van-
ished at once, and she vented her rage on the magistrate
and police in a profusion of oaths and curses. She asked it
this was a chrtstian country, where people were committed
for saying their prayers ?

MONEY MARKET.

T CESDAY ETININO.

The state of affairs in stocks and money has not
materially improved to-day, although we have had
no more unfortunate casualties reported out of doors.
Rumours, however, have not been wanting, as, in
such an extraordinary crisis as the present, might na-
turally be looked for. Early in the day sonic large
parcels of Exchequer Bills were pressed upon the
stock market, and could be realised only in part, at
the striking depreciation of 30a. diatount. Dealers
and speculators arc said to have declined to purchase,
in quantities, at higher rates than 40s. and even 508.
discount. From the particular connexions of the
brokers who were the largest sellers, it was pre-
sumed that the sales were for account either of the
Scotch or some of the country banks. As bank-notes
were required for the parcels disposed of or offered,
such was not improbably the case. But other
parties, having their indorsements on the paper
of insolvent houses discounted at the Bank of
England, must have been endeavouring to convert
their Exchequer Bills as wort az other securities into
money, in order to cover the liabilities so incurred,
and withdraw the discredited paper from the Bank,
as by the rules of the establishment compelled under
such circumstances, whether the bills have reached
maturity or not. Nominally, Exchequer Bills left off
at 30s. discount. The appearance of the I lank broker'
as a seller of Consols reduced the money price to 831,
say from to to 1 below the quotations at which they
opened. About 00,0001. of stock was placed, for
which bank-notes were exacted. Upon the conclu-
sion of these operations the market recovered, and
bargains were done at 84i for money. Before the
close of business, however, prices again gave way,
and were marked on leaving off 83,1 to 41
money, and 841 to for the 14th instant
The continuation to the ea:count, a period of 9 days
only, though not so heavy as yesterday, still stood at
the onerous rates of 2 to 4 per cent. with the buyers
or parties who took in stock for money and sold out
for delivery on the account day. Bank Stock was
called widely from 191 to 196.
The business in foreign stocks is limited for the
most part to the sales, which are occa,ionally forced,
on account of holders, under the nece,sity of realising
such securities as they may chance to possess, to face
engagements in the present difficulties of the money
market. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. left off
521 to 3 ; the Fours, 82 to 4 ; Russian, 104 to 6.
Spanish Fives were done at 19, but quoted from 18 to
19 ; the Threes, 27 to 8; Portuguese, 22 to 4 ; Mexi-
can, 181 to ; Brazilian, 76 to 8, ex div.
The transactions in foreign exchange were of an
unimportant character, although the rates on all the
chief drawing places show a rather material advance.
In the present depression of all credit, difficulty is ,
experienced in placing bills even of the most irre-
proachable description. On Amsterdam the quota-
tions for bills actually negotiated were stated higher,
at 12.5 l to 7; on Rotterdam at 12.6 to 8; on Antwerp
at 23.90 to 26; on Hamburg at 13.1,5 to 14.1 ; on ,
Frankfort at 123 to 4 ; on Paris at 25.80 to 26; onl
Vienna at 10.6 to 8; on Leghorn at 30.90 to 31; on
Naples a shade lower at 40 to ; on Madrid, 46i to
1, all at 3 months. On Lisbon at GO days, 521.
It is understood that accommodation has been dealt
out at the Bank with a much more sparing hand to-
day than for some time past, aad that, in fact, dis-
counts have been absolutely denied in many instances,
or granted only in more contracted amounts,
to parties seldom, if ever, refused. The re-
strictive action is said, however, to be chiefly
applied to domestic bills, that is, bills drawn
and payable at home. The Bank has been more
liberal with foreign bills, which were accepted and
discounted more freely. This preferential admission
of bills payable abroad may possibly be connected
with some financial combination, with the object of
preventing or moderating a call for bullion for ex-
portation. Reports were current still more strongly
to-day that the frequent communications between the
Bank directors and the heads of the government
would lead toe modification of banking policy, by the
authorised suspension of the system upon which, in
accordance with its present charter, banking action
must necessarily be governed. Meantime, the
recent conduct of the directors is considered
in respectable quarters to be open to cen-
sure. They, are challenged with a vacillation of
purpose, and the absence of any fixed rule of
action, resulting inconveniently, if not mischievously,
in an abrupt reversal, one day, of the measures and
the policy resolved upon the day before, and commu-
nicated to the monied and commercial interests for
their information and guidance. Thus, on Thursday
last, it was intimated in the proper quarters that the
directors had resolved upon admitting Exchequer-
bills to loan. But on the day following when, in con-
sequence of the intimation, parcels of these securities
were sent in with the confidence of obtaining the ne-
cessary advances upon them, the applicants, to their
surprise, and no less mortification, were advised that
the administration had returned upon their determi-
nation of the day previous, and dechned to admit the
securities to loan. The Bank may have been right in
the amended resolution, but in such counter-resolves

from day to day there is a certain seeming of le% ity,
which, in grace considerations of finance and banking,
it were best should he avoided.
