- _ENTERDAT.

MANSION-HOUSE.—STEALING A CASII-110X.—Wood,
Smith, and Chapple, were charged with having stolen the
cash-box of Mr. Kimpton, the proprietor of the Steel-yard
public-house, in Upper Thames-street, containing above 381.
The complainant having occasion to leave his bar, at which
the prisoner Wood and a person not in custody were drink-
ing, was told immediately afterwards by his wife that the
cashbox, which was kept in the bar, was stolen. He
hastened into the street, and saw Wood captured and
taken to the station-house, where the cash-box was pro-
duced. lie did not observe the other prisoners, hut there
were persons in the parlour, where they were sitting, who
observed their conduct when the alarm was given, who were
of opinion that both were guilty. Hedington (City officer)
aid the prisoners were identified at persons who had been in
the parlour of the public-house at the time, and had quitted
it under very suspicious circumstances, one of them (Chapple)
had started from his seat and ran out of the house the
instant he heard the cry of " Stop thief! " Witness was in-
formed that Chapple had been watching very anxiously
about, when Wood was at the bar, after the cash-box.
—Henry Fulcher was in the parlour of the public-house
when the alarm was given. Chapple, who had been drink-
ing with Smith, started from his seat and ran out.—Brett
(City officer) said that Smith, upon being told that he was
accused of being concerned in the robbery, declared that he
had not been in the City during the whole day.—The solici-
tor to Smith and Chapple submitted that there was not a
tittle of evidence against his clients to authorise their deten-
tion.—The.Erisoners were remanded.
LAMBETH.—SANITARY MBAEUREB.—Mr. Plum, clerk
to the gin.rdians of the poor of St. Giles, Camberwell,
applied to Mr. Norton for upwards of 30 summonses against
the owners of houses in Bukley-street, Peckham New-town,
for nuisance. He stated that the place was rendered a focus
of pestilence by the extraordinary negligence of the inha-
bitants and their landlords. The houses were all occupied
by Irish people of the lowest order, who had imported and
adhered to the habits of their own country. A filthy pool of
stagnant water extended the whole length of the street, and
sometimes overflowed into the houses. The parochial autho-
rities had in vain remonstrated, although the inhabitants
themselves were sufferers, as the place was seldom without
fever. Sedgely, the beadle, stated that there were at present
sixteen cases of fever in the locality. The whole district was
in danger of contagion.—The summonses were granted.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENINO.

The French loan, the conditions of which are now
known, has as yet exercised no unfavourable influence
upon stock values, although hereafter such may not
improbably be the case when the actual instalment
moneys come to be called for. Some disposition was
evinced in the early part of the day to run down the
prices of Consols by parties operating and anxious for
the fall. But the continuous transactions of money
purchases for email amounts of stock quite beat the
larger speculators for time, with money sales upon a
considerable extent as well. The continuity of these
small money investments has excited surprise even
among the oldest and most experienced brokers, and
there is no doubt that they are chiefly for account of
the humbler class of savings banks depositors, who
are naturally anxious to make the most income upon
their savings, and intelligent enough to understand 16
the way to effect it by removing their funds it
into Console or other stocks yieldina a higher P.
than the parliamentary rate of interest for
savings. The late Mr. Itothechild used to say that
he cored nothing for large single purchases of Con-
sols, because those might be a speculation for profit-
able resale, but when the small purchasers came in,
that was quite another affair, because a proof that the
public were going with him. The fluctuations of Con-
sole have been limited to-day within a range of 1 per
cent. one way and the other. They opened at 841
to I for money and account; advanced to 841 to .1 for
money and account, at which they stood at the regular
close of business; and were afterwards done at 843
to Z. These latter high quotations do not seem likely
to be upheld. Reduced Threes, 831 to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents 841 to 3. Bank Stock,
1881 to 81. Long Annuities, 81 to 9-16. Exchequer
Bills, 2s. discount to Is. premium. India Bonds, 20s.
to 15s. discount.

The dealings in foreign stocks have been few, but I;
with rather a firmer tendency. Danish Bends were a
done at 81, quoted 81 to 2. Dutch Two-and-a-Half t!
per Cents, 531 to 4.1. ; the Fours, 821 to 3. Spanish f,
Fives, 16 to ; the Threes, 27 to d. Portuguese, 20 ;
to 2. Mexican remained 151 to I.
This has been a day without commercial disasters
of any kind positively known. A large failure at
Manchester was vaguely reported, but not even the
name appeared to be known.
Foreign exchange was again lower to-day, but
with freer buyers and more money at market. On
Amsterdam the negotiations were 12.6; to 7 ; on
Rotterdam, 12.7 ; on Antwerp, 26.10 ; on Hamburg,
13.141 to 15 ; on Frankfort, 123,1 to ; on Parts,
25.95 to 26; on Vienna, 10.16 to 19; on Leghorn,
31.20 to 30; on Naples, 39t to 7 ; on Madrid, 46i—
ell at 3 months. On Lisbon, at 60 days, 511.
