SOU CHWARK.—Tnnowito • MAN INTO TUE RIVEN
Kra, ht was brought up from the station-house at the
rear of this court, where he had been for lame home, hey•
ling been previously taken out of the river.—V, fireman,
belonging to the Mating fire-ecgine moored off the South
wark.bridge, stated that while an boar.l that morning about
3 o'clock, he heard the cries of some one in distress at some
distance off, and a splashing of water. He rowed towards
the spot from whence the noise proceeded, and taw a man
struggling in the river and holding on a plank, but he was
in such an exhausted condition when witness got there, that
he must have sunk in a very short time. Witness
dragged him into his boat, and he was taken
to the station-house, where he stated that he had
been in the city with some friends, and on his Ii
return home, while walking along Sankside be was
stewed by two men, one of whom asked him for some t
money, which he refused to give, and that immediately upon
his refusal, he had his watch forcibly seized from his pocket, I
and on Isle resisting, being near the river side at the time, y
hie t- o assailants pushed him off Bank.ide Etta the water,
and left Lim to struggle for his life. Knight subsequently
said that his watch had not been taken from him, for ne hat
not one in his pocket at the time. With the c xception of
this part, he repeated the ab .ve statement to the magistrate.
—Mr. Cottiogham said the police would no noubt endeavour
to discover the perpetrators of such a desperate act.
LA MBETEL—Ritrusixo TO ALLOW A PAUPER TO 00
ro Cituncu.—et pauper complained of the con.'uct of the
officers of Camberwell Workhouse, in having refused to ad-
mit him into that establishment on the preceding nizht.—
The applicant stated that on the evening b fore he asked
permission to be allowed to atteni his place of worship, the
catholic chapel, and his request was refused. He would ad-
mit he kfe use house contrary to the ordets of the officers,
and en hie return, although he brought a written certificate
from the Rev. W. Talbtt, one of the clergymen, of the lac.
of his having been to chapel, he was refuted admittance, and
compelled to walk the streets all night.--Mr. Elliott told him
that if he wilfully violated the regulations of the workhouse
he must abide the consequence, as he (Mr. Elliott) had no
power to interfere in the matter.
WANDSWORTH.—DISTURBING A CONGREGATION.—
_

Mr. Burchard, the churchwarden of Sc. Ann's Courch,
Wandsworth, applied to Mr. Deadens for his advice.—He Ic
stated that for some time past the Sunday evening service at if
St. A ,se's Church had been interrupted by the assemblage
of a number of young men and boys, who persisted in jesting s
and laughing during divine service, much to the annoyance 1,
of the congregation. He had, as warden, himself turned
several of these fellows out of the sacred edifice, and in.
structed his beadle to do the same, but they remained in the
churchyar..l; and,by loud whistling and other noises, made a
greater disturbance than they did in the church.—Mr.
Beadon said he could not take oogeisance of any disturuance
in a church, it was entirely a matter for ecclesiastical inter-
ference, and not of a criminal court. He aloud, advise an
application to the superintendent of police for assistance.
on being maoved from the church, one of the parties com-
plained of offered the slighte:t violence, the warden ha 1
only to summon him, and Mr. Beadon would inflict the
extreme penalty for the assault.—Mr. Burchard expressed
his thanks, and left the court.
RICHMOND.—CIeaIIOES or FOSLOIRT, EMBEZZLEMENT,
AND OBTAINING GOODS LIBBER FALSE PHETENCRS.—G. C.
Montresor, late a butler in the service of Mr. S. Briggs, was
finally examined, charged with forgery, embezzlement, and
obtaining goods under false pretences.—A poice b rgeant
stated that, on the 14th of March last, he receiv:ol Informs,
lion from Mr. Briggs that the prisoner, who had been in his
service for about two years, had absconded, after robbing him I
to a large amount. He had been on the look tut for him
ever since, and succeeded in apprehending him a few days
back, in couscquence of seeing a report of a ease from one of
the nr tropelitan p,lioe courts, where be had been charged „
with breaking some windows, and was committed to Cold- t
bath-fields in default of paying the amount of damage. The 1
police sergeant proceeded to, the prison, paid the amount, and '
released the prisoner, and then apprehende him on the
above charge.—The first cese taken was that of obtaining two
portmanteaus from Mr. J. Trice, a saddler. This offence was
committed on the day the prisoner absconded, and he took
them with him. The false pretence was that Mr. Briggs
was going into the country.—The next caw was that of ob.
Veining a quantity of wine from Mr. C. Ellis, a wine mer-
chant, at Richmoud.—A. B. Flume, clerk to Mr. Ellis. mated
that Mr. Briggs had been in the habit of dealing with his
master, and the prisoner being known as his butler. no Is, ci-
tation was felt at executing his orders. On the 22nd of April,
1847, the prisoner ordered a bottle of holland., and a b Istle
of marsala. On the 29th he ordered half a doe nof marsala.
On the 10th of June, and 16th of October, separate bottles of
marsala ; and his excuse for having a single bottle was, that
it won wanted for dinner, as Mr. Briggs being out they could
not get to the wine cellar. On various otoer occa.ions the
prisoner had ordered port, champagne, end manual%
wines, half a doe-n at a time.—Mr. Brings said
he hail never authorised his butler 01 any one oc
casi.n to order wine in his name. He iad t' e greater
part of his seine from tows, ; but on one or two occasions he
had had same of Mr. Elba. and had paid for it at the time.—
'I he next case was one of forgery and embezzlement. The
prisoner had made out several surreptitious bills, purporting
to come from Mr. Giles, a 11,-master, had received the
money to discharge them, and then forged the signature of
Mr. Giles, or some person presumed to be in his , mploy.—
Mr. T. F. Gil, s said the bill produced for 41. 16: 6,1. was not
in his handwriting. and the signature T. F Giles" was
not his: neither did he know anything of either of the two
other bills p;oduccd.—Mrs. C. Briggs proved that she gave
several sums of money at different periods to the prisoner,
and received from him the receipted bills produced.—The
prisoner was committed on each of the above charges seise.
rately.—Sergemt Fiolayson said the prisoner I:ad a key
to the cellar, asd one of his transactions was the substi-
tution of too dozen of British champagne for two dozen of
foreign, and the British wine had not been paid for.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVENING.

The funds exhibited a remarkable instance of mu-
tability to-day. At the latter end of last week they
were al. ascendant, and prices with scarcely a pause,
or a momentary retrogradation, cis ng higher and
higher. Towards the elcoe of business on StPurdly,
however, the more sagneicus of the spiculruive dealers
were seized with come misgivings about the
solidity or the permantncy of the hasty co. -
tinnous movement upwards, and began to take
their measures accordingly for getting out,
of some of their stock. This morning the
unfavourable tenor of the news from Paris led to
a reduction at once of 3 per cent. on the opening of
the market upon the last and before declining rates of
Saturday. Consols could not obtain more than 91,
and did not long maintain that rate, although they
fluctuated between 90; and 91; for a short time.
S ill later Console became sellers at 90.4. To-
wards the close of business they recovered in
some degree, and left off at 90; to for bath
money and account, say ut arly 11 below the highest
quotations of Saturday, with a market but ind ifferentas
to tone. The coenplexion of the news from France has
excited eenr:relly more serious apprehensions for the
maintenance of order in that country than any event.,
or series of evrnts, which has occurred since the June
insurrections; and private advises indicate that the
more respectable classes, who had been partially re-
assured for come time past by the appearance of re-
turning tranquillity, were again taking the alarm
accordingly, and becoming extremely anxious for the
security of property, if not of life. It was statei to-
day that already some considerable remittances of
money had been received, or were on their way, for
sate lodgment here under the influence of these uneasy

feelings.
