THIATRI.—A. Grogan was charged with forging
orders of adiniision to the pit of her Majesty's Theatre, and •
obtaining money upon them.—Mr. Nugent, manager of the
free list department, stated that the prisoner had sold several
tickets to different Freon, without the sanction of Mr. Lum-
ley, the signatures of which were all forgeries, there being
no such persons as these represented connected with the
establishment.--Pargeant Bray, A 21, said that the prisoner
admitted be had written the orders, one of which was sold
for 10s. by a man to whom he rave it for the purpose. He
also said he had written and signed five orders of admission,
mentioning the persons who had purchased them. Witness
had known the prisoner and his family for years. They
were all connected with the theatres. Prisoner told him
be was driven to the forgeries by poverty.—Mr. C. Ben-
nett stated the he had known the prisoner and
all his family for a long time, He called upon
him a few days back, and said be had a ticket for
the pit of her Majesty's Theatre to dispose of, and he wished
to know whether witness knew any one who would buy it;
it was a press order, and as he was going to Greenwich and
could not use it, he would sell it for ss. Witness agreed to
give him the money for the order. He afterwards heard it
was a forgery. Mr. Nugent stated that the prisoner and his
father had both been employed by Mr. Lumley. The pri-
soner had the care of the coats and cloaks. He had no au-
thority whatever to write orders for her Majesty's Theatre.
The five orders produced were all forgeries. One of them,
which had been sold to a Mr. Jones for 2s. 6d., was brought to
witness at the box office in the day time by Mr. Jones, who
' inquired whether it was all right, as he had purchased it at
so small a sum, which was rather suspicious. Ti is led to the
' discovery of the other forgeries. The orders had all been
presented at the free-list office, and returned as (urged. They
were signed with different names, such as Johnson, fee., no
such names being on the books.—Remanded until Wed-
nesday.

that on conducting Charles Savage, the imbecile vagrant,
who professed to have been an eye- witness to the murder, to
the cell in which the prisoner was confined that morning,

it ; but, if not, I shall drown myself the instant I get my
liberty."—Mr. Arnold asked the prisoner if he wished to
make any further statement ?—Prison,r . I can only say that

the list of subscribers himself.—Mr. Gray expressed his
gratitude for his worship's kind sympathy and offer, and the
I summons was adjourned for • fortnight, Mr. Gray having
paid the complainant for her loss of time.

MONEY MARKET.

SATI:RDAY ETINIIIO.

The funds gave way to-day upon the advices of the
extraordinary and lamentable scenes passing in Paris,
69 narrated in the Daily News this morning. Anxiety
to learn the whole and the worst of the conflict be-
tween the populace on the one side, and the national
guard assisted by the regular troops on the other, be-
came more intense when no second editions of morn-
ing papers made their appearance at the accustomed
time, aed when subsequently the arrival of the morn-
ing mail from Paris was made kr own, bring-
ing a very meagre supply of correspondence.
Reports were prevalent in consequence that the
rails had been torn up by the mob between the
Paris and St. Denis stations; but as the mail came
is due order, it seems more rational to conclude that
from the masses of mobs and troops encumbering the
streets, and the firing and fighting going on, it was
both difficult and dangerous for persons to gain access
to the Post-office to post their letters. Console, with
such exciting causes, fill to, and were dose at, 83,
and at the close of business were marked no better
than 83 to d for the opening. Sales of considerable
amount were made on speculation, which for the last
day of the week is a somewhat unusual occurrence.
Reduced Threes were 83; to 1. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 84 to 1. Long Annuities, 84.
Exchequer 131112,385. to 41s. premium. Indian Bonds,
17e. to 20s. premium. Bank Stock, 190 to 2.
The foreign market was in a drooping state, with
inconsiderable transactions in four or five stocks only.
Mexicans, in which speculators had anticipated a rise
on the ratification of the treaty with the United
States, declined to-dap on the fact coming confirmed,
to 131 to Wt. Brazilian fell to: 64 to 7, from what
circumstances did not appear. It is probable, how-
ever, that stock may have lately been pressed upon
the market by parties having occasion for their funds
otherwise. Peruvian were quoted 30 to 2. New
Granada, 12 to 13. Spanish Fives 111 to 12 ; the
Threes, 22 to 1 ; Passive 21 to 3k. Portuguese, 16
to 17. Dutch Two-and-a-lialf per Cents., 421 to 31 ;
the Fours, 631 to 41.
In one of the few commercial letters received from
Paris by the morning mail which we have seen, the
writer, a merchant and banker of high consideration,
states it as an opinion, and hie apprehension, that the
frightful tumult then raging would probably not be
suppressed without large concessions to the demands
Id the mob of idle workmen. Such an opinion from
such a quarter must be regarded as one of the worst
indications of the imminence of the crisis, as it was
felt and reasoned upon among the property and
trading classes.
The returue of the Bank of France for the week
ending the 22nd instant, show, upon tee whole,
some amelioration in the position of the establish-
ment, so far as its own interests are concerned. The
bills overdue were diminished, on comparison with
the week before, from 8,864,000 francs in round num-
bers to something more than 31 millions. The bills
and acceptances running were reduced about 3
millions. The protested bills were in amount'
29,616,000 francs, or about 90,000 francs less than
before. The amount at the credit of the Treasury was
nearly as before, something less than 18 millions of
francs, say 720,000/. With reference to the recent
reports about the probable non-payment of the dividends
on the French rentes dueon the 22d,:and now payable, it
may be observed that the coupons have been regularly
presented by holders here to the house of Rothschild,
who are agents for the government, and were taken
in as of course without observation, so that no doubt
is entertained of their being honoured at the regular
time. In the usual way they have to be:left two
days for examination before payment, at a fixed rate
of exchange notified.
The accounts of the stock market at Berlin come
extremely gloomy, and for railway shares worse still.
The continuous disturbances of order there, organised
by beardless students of the colleges, is sufficient to
account for the tact. The commerce, and the money
dealings, beta een this country and Germany ere
greatly suffering from this confusion of affairs in the
old empire, to the great and equal damage of both.
