previously to the boos el' VW eleMrto hint to
appear before the 1.014 Mayor.-111hts i , for the
prosecution, said the eireennatanoss tinder wh eh the de-
tandsint bad been remanded for further evidence must be
fresh in the rrcolLetion of the magistrate, and he was now
in a condition to tender evidence in another transaction,
namely, the ease of Messrs. Harrison and Co., whose com-
plaint was similar to that made by the prosecutors in the
first instance. He would, however, call upon the bench to
commit Mr. Edward Hagan under the Panaruptcy Act.—
Mr. Ballantine, for the defence, said that it Mr. Parry chose
to proved under the Bankruptcy Act the proceedings onset
be directed by the commissioners, and the Lord Mayor
and Alderman
Parry s Elibba had no jurisdiction in the carte.
—Mr.submitted that the magistrates had
full jurisdiction, and read the 35th section of the
122nd chapter of the sth and 6th Victoria in proof of his
position. It is as follows :—" And be it enacted that if any
bankrupt shall, within three months next preceding his
bankruptcy, and sifter the commencement of this act, under
the false colour and pretence of carrying on business, and
dealing in the ordinary course of trade, have obtained on
credit from any other person any goods or chattels', with 1
intent to defraud the owner thereof ; or if any bankrupt
shall, within the time aforesaid, with such intent, have re- A
moved, concealed, or disw.sed of any goods or chattels so
obtained, kuowing them to have been so obtained, every 2
such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
I
demeanor, and, being convicted thereof, shall be liable to ,
imprisonment for any term not exceeding two years." It
was evident, the learned counsel contended, that the ease In
came completely under that section ; but if the bench enter-
t tined any. doubt upon the subject, they could have no
fs
hesitation in the question of a charge of conspiracy spinet rat
the defendant. Since the last examination at the Mansion-
house the defendant, who had been made a bankrupt, was t
examined before the commissioner, and the depositions,
which were materially contradicted by the evidence taken •I
before the magietrates, we re ready to be produced. The
whole of the circumstances attending the case betrayed, in
the learned counsel's judgment, a lurks of desperate efforts 5
to back up a state of hopeless insolvency, in which other
persons were involved. Atter having entered into details 1
at some length to which it is unnecessary particularly to it
advert, Mr. Parry called a clerk in the Bankruptcy Court,
who produced the depositions alluded to, and stated
that Edward and Henry Hagan had been adjudi I
cated barupt on the leth of July, 1948, and 1
that themxamis natio, had been regularly enrolled.— 9
—Mr. Ballantine objected to the proceeding under the
Bankruptcy Act, that the evidence before the commissioner !
was compulsory, and that the principal parson examined
upon the occasion was not present, and, of course, not liable
to cross-examination in some most essential points connected
with the present charge against the defendant. The learned
counsel regretted to be obliged to any that the defendant' and
his brother were the victims of a most vindictive persecution.
—Mr. Parry reed some of the evidence beard before the
commissioner of bankruptcy for the purpose of connecting
the defendant and another party in the transaction in such a
marner as to justify the charge of ecrapiracy.—The Lord
Mayor : We are quite Whaled that there is evidence enough
to justify us in calling upon the defendant to find bail
upon the charge of conspiracy with intent to defraud.-
-Mr. Parry said that if the L rd Mayor and Alderman
Gibbs had made up their minds to that effect he would not
trouble them with the evidence in any other case.—Mr.
Ballantine said he would with the greatest ease prove to the
complete satisfaction of tho jury before whom the case must
go, and of the public, that the', was not the least want of
integrity upon the part of the accused, of whom the first
merchants in London always entertained the very highest
opinion, a proof of which presented itself in the appearance
of Mr. Samuel Gamey and other cemmercial men of that
class, who were ready to offer security for his appearance.—
'f he defendant was then bailed by a partner to the Messrs.
Gurney's house and another gentleman, and left the justice-

hOW-STREET.—A Sot ICEEOR CHAROED WITH ROR•
nany.—M. D. Scott, a solicitor, was charged with stealing
considerable quantities of plate from several ai!versmitlis.—
The prisoner was brought to this court on the same charges
in the early part of the month of May, and there being evi-
dence given only in one case his father entered into sureties
in the sum of 100/. for his appearance in a week, at the ex-
piration of which, in consequence of the publicity given of
the circumstance, the court was crowded on the appointed
day by the respectable silversmiths of the west end of town,
who were prepared to prefer charges against him; hut be
seemed to prefer forfeiting his recgnisance, and it was sub.
sequertly ascertained that he had tied to the continent ; upon
which a warrant was placed in the bands of the officer for
his apprehension, should he return.—The officer proved
thst, on Tuesday night, he apprehended the prisoner, on a
warrant, at the Royal Sussex llotel, Tuobridge Wells, when
he informed him there were several char-es against hint of
stealing plate, and be paid he thought they were all settltd.—
Mr. Henry Dobson, from the firm of Messrs. Wilkinson and
Co., of Piccadilly, silversmiths, stated that on the 20th of
May the prisoner applied to him fur some silver forks and
spoons of different kinds on hire, giving his card with his
name and address, which, upon inquiry, were found to be
correct, and the articles required were sent the same day to
the Adeiphi Chambers. It was egreed upon that they would
be wanted only for :sat evening, as IV: represented that he
was to have a dinner party, and to be returned the following
day, but nothing further was heard of the property until it
was discovered to have been pledged at a pawnbroker's shop
in Greek-street, Soho, on the same day.—Peter Ilesford, a
porter in the service of the prosecutors, proved that on the
day in question he dcliv. red the articles to the prisoner at
kin chambers, when he directed that he should call for them
the following day.—The prisoner said be would make no
statement until his final examination, and he was coders d to
be remsnded.—Thompson informed the court that sines the
prisoner absconded he had got married to a young woman of
respectable family,wh t was totally ign,,rant of his proceedings.

MONEY MARKET.
W EDNESDAT EVENING.

Business was quite languid in the funds to-day,
with prices also in decline until nearly the close of
the market, when symptoms only of a rally took
place. From 851 to 4, at which Consols were quoted
at the opening, they merely recovered one step, to
851 to 6, at which they lett off for money and account. I
The dulness in the market, and the unusual paucity
of transactions, were attributed to the uncertainty
which prevailed as to the mode in which the two
millions vote of credit should be disposed of and
laid out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
As a general rule, the financial minister of the day i
has not usually proposed a credit to parliament before
making his arrangements with capitalists, or the
Bank, for realising it to the bud advantage. In the
present instance that important functionary appears
to have reversed the official routine. He has asked
for leave to raise so much money, which obtained, he
has to cogitate afterwards about the means of obtain-
ing it. He, or rather the country, must have to pay
for the indiscretion, or oversight. Having let the
public into his market, as would be said on the Stock
Exchange, without securing the realisation of his
affair beforehand upon the beet terms of the day, the
dealers and speculators have had time to play upon
his account. Prices have been kept low, so that he
shall make the worst bargain for the Treasury, and
the better for capitalists and stock dealers.
Shortly after the official close of business, it was
reported that arrangements had been concluded in
some quarter for the disposal of the two millions
credit, but in what shape did not transpire. Some
purchases were made in consequence, but the result
was merely a rise of 1 upon the previous quotatior s.
Reduced Threes left off 86 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 861 to 74. Long Annuities, 81 to 15-16.
Exchequer Bills 265. to 295. premium. India Bonds,
19s. to 22e. premium. Bank Stock, 1961 to 81.
India Stock, 238 to 240.
The chief dealings in the foreign market were still
in Portuguese stocks, but business was also rather
more active in other foreign securities. Portuguese
were purchased up to 23, quoted, however, 22 to 3.
Spanish Fives, in which there was some speculation,
dui not overpass their former quotations of 121 to ;
the Threes, 221 to 31; Passive, 3 to 1. Dutch Two-1
and-a-Half per Cents. improved to 444 to 54; the
Four., 701 to 11. Russian, 99 to 101. Belgian, 65
to 72. Mexican remain 164 to 17, notwithstanding
the announcement that a special agent was to be
despatched to Mexico to enforce and obtain arrange-
ments for the satisfaction of the claims of the bond-
holders. Brazilian were 72 to 4 ; Chain, 83 to 6.
Some business was done in Buenos Ayres stock, at
rates from 22 to 20, the quotations between buyer and
seller remaining 19 to 22. Peruvian were 30 to 2.
A report was current at Lloyd's in the after part of
to-day, that accounts had been received of the adjust-
ment of the Schleswig-Holstein affair, but generally
little credit was attached to it.
The exports of silver to Hamburg and Holland con-
tinue to be considerable. They are stated in the
Public Ledger, from the Custom-house returns, at
391,400 oz. during the past week.

the advent of timee and ma-vices more favourable to the objects of this
undertaking then they have experienced for the lead two tear.. The
interest of the public in favour of the introduction of railways into
India tan been thown by the progren recently made by the Great /nen=
Peninsula Railway Company, and that of the laud belie Campeau and
the government, by the modification recently admitted into their prupo-
sale to suit the date of the time.. In emitland the capital ter such
undertakings la still circumscribed, in andequenee of the undue
speculation of the year 1045, sad the subneepieni depreroiou to which
it led. But in India the tenuency of event liar been to encourage the
disposition to investmoney its such undertakings; and the board
have every reason to anticipate an increasing desire on the part of the
resilient+, there to take shares in this company or soon ei• its pram:els
are meowed. By the modification agreed to by the last India Com-
pany of their drat propane the obbgatMn of thio company la redact.'
to a oomparattvely small sum, and their operations are brought •
within narrower limit.. But the directons are soured that,
when once the terms of a contract tiro arranged witb
the East ledia Company, there will be no dearth of money
to complete the first section of the great truck hue
from Calcutta to the oorth•weet provinces, on terms very easy to the
petered proprietary; and that when that section is opened, there
will be no want of capitol to enter on the succeeding portions of the
line. The statement of acecounts from 20th Jam 1848, to 25th Aug.,

The chairman then moved a resolution, which he .-

from the director. that the report he received, end that the hoard be
requested to proceed to discuss with the curt of directors of the
East. India Company the position of the line to be commenced
upon, sold the terms of the contract relating to it; and that
the result, with full particular. of the curt and traffic of
the suggested line, be submital to the proprietary at a epedal
general meeting to be convened for the put pore. In moving
the resolution he made 00411 C obeervationo with negord to the date-
menus which hod been circulated in the papers and avowed his readi-
ness to aaswer any question.. which might be addle-Ned to him on the
subjects there disclaimed, of which he had hitherto refrained to take
any notice from a disinclination to engage in a paper warfare. In
reference to the sum which had been raised to complete the amount of
the deposit with the East India Company, to which the chairman
mode some allusion, a proprstor denied the right of the direc-
tors to borrow money without the consent 01 the proprietors.
The question, however, was allied b} Mr. Freinficld, the company's
