PI; C Mal were together there, with the watch in their pm- I
swelos, on the tit was pawned.—The Common Serjeant
scut *police officer ei Mr. Collins to ask the barmaid to
attend the coact.—On the officsee return he said the partim
would not attend unless submened. They told him, how-
ever. that they knew nothing material about the matter
further than that Wilson left a parcel there on the night
queation.—The Common Serjeant said the prisoner wise a
cunning, artful thief. He deserved transportation, but, on
account of the mmendation of the prosecutrix, the sen-
tence was, that he recobe kept to hard labour fur one year.

POLICE.—YESTEILDAT.
GIIILDHALL.—A SOCIAL ATTSMPT AT SVICIDI.—A
solicitor's clerk, named Thomas Wyatt, of Saville-street,
Marylebooe, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting
to fling himself over Blockfriars-bridge into the river.
From the statement of John Baldwin, it appeared that
while passing over BlaCkfriatAbridge with a friend the pre-
vious day the prisoner earns up, and said that he iebinded
destroying himself by jumping off the bridge, and asked
him (witness) to accompany him in his journey. Baldwin
declined the invitation, and after walking • few yards fur-
ther on, the prisoner went into one of the TTee-see, and
having got on the top of the parapet was about to throw
himself into the river, when Baldwin and his friend ran
forward, and secured him, after which they gave him
into custody. On his person was found a namber of keys
end papers, with 20. 10d. in money.—Alderman &demons
asked the prisoner what he had to say for himself. —The for
d, in • whining toes, that he was very sorry for
what he had done, and if be wu forgiven he would ver,
never do it again. (Laughter). He had taken a little drop,
and it had an effect upon him.—Alderman Salomons, trust-
ing he would not be so foolish as to make a similar attempt,
discharged him.
WESTMINSTER.—Muananotte ASSAULT,— T. Ingrain
was finally examined, charged with feloniously assaulting
and wounding Elie ibeth Harris.—The prosecutrix and the
prisoner were in company with some friends at the Cheshire
Cheese, Queens-road, Chelsea, on the 7th inst., when the
prisoner expressed a wish to sea her home. She ob)ected,
upon which he accused her of being fond of somebody else,
and, seising a large kitchen poker which mood in the fire-
place, struck her three times on the head with it, and felled
her to the ground. There he made another blow at her
head, which she, however, warded off with her band, the
latter being much hurt. h* was conveyed to the hospital,
where :he has remained ever since.—Mr. Peyton, house
surgeon at St. George's Hospital, proved that the injured
female had two incised wounds upon her head when breaght
in, and had been in considerable danger_ ever since. The poker
produced (an exceedMgly large one, with sharp square
edges) would have hatted such wounds. Her hand was
also contused. Witness could not say that she was at pre-
sent out of danger, and did not consider her sufficiently well
to attend upon the trial of the prisoner.—The prisoner was
committed for trial.
CLERKENWELL.—OOTIONINO GOODS UNDER FALat
PASTUNcan —Copt J.Paulst ware-examined, Chat pa with
having obtained goods under false and fraudulent pretence+.
The details of this case have already appeared. A man named
Gray had called on Mr. Leon, a watchmaker, representing
himself es a commercial traveller, and being about to go
into the country. He said ho could act to their mutual ad-
vantage if he (prosecutor) would entrust him with some of
his property for sale, when he gave a reference to the pri-
soner. Gray then obtained several watches and silver guard-
chains, to the amount of 501., which, of sour-e, were never
again tatticoming.—Sevaral pawnbrokers identified the pri-
soner so having pledged watches and silver guari-chains be-
longing to the prosecutor (Mr. Leon).—The prisoner was
committed for trial.

MONEY MARKET.
TtrenDAT EVININO.
The more sobered appearance of the state of affairs
in Paris, combined with the satisfactory announce-
ment of the proposed supplementary tax upon income
aid property having been abandoned by the govern-
ment, in deference to the public voice, had a favour.
able effect upon Consols, which recovered, though
partially only, at the commencement of business from
the extreme depression to which they had fallen, after
the regular close of business yesterday. They were
first marked as done at 93, a rise at once of 3 per
cent. upon the bargains at extra hours yesterday, and
of more than 11 per cent. upon the last official quota-
tions preceding them. The improved price, however,
was maintained but a short time, and fluctuations
succeeded each other for the remainder of the day
almost as rapidly, and with differences nearly as
wide, as on any day since the revolution in stocks
followed upon the revolution in Paris. The extreme 5
points embraced in the variations were 81; as the I
lowest and 831 as the highest prices at which real
transactions were effected. In conclusion, Consols t,
left off at 821 to for money, and 821 to 3
for account, with a market much more steady
in appearance than *might have been ex- 15.1
pected from the confusion and turmoil which e
prevailed during the earlier part of the day. Re-
duced Threes were 821 to 1. Three•and-a-Quarter per si

quer Bills, 4s. to 12s. premium. India Bonds, ss. f..!

The settlement of account in the foreign stocks
ushered in the of late unusual occurrence in that
market of the declaration by several respectable par- i
ties of inability to meet their engagemente. As they
have been already published in the evening papers,
It
may be stated that the parties so in default were Mr.
Preece, Mr. M'Mullen Mr. Duffell, Messrs. Banbury
and Co., and Mr. Ridge. The failures might be sat-
ficieutly accounted for, perhaps, by the very heavy '
fall in nearly all foreign securities, and the almost
sheer impossibility in such a crisis of disposing of
any quantity upon any terms, so that recovery from
unfortunate speculations upon a forthcoming enhance-
ment of values was out of the question. But it is
understood that, in fact, more than one of the failures
was attributable to the disappointment of remittances
from abroad of parties on whose account go
operations had been undertaken. Such remit-
tances, it is stated, had been rendered diffi-
cult, if not impracticable, in due course, by events
springing out of the revolution in Paris, and reacting
elsewhere, but it is still hoped may be made good
shortly with more opportune occasion. The casual-
ties have chiefly resulted, it is said, from operations
in Spanish, Portuguese, and Mexican bonds. Spanish
Fives were called at the close of business 141 to
151 ; the Threes, 25 to 7 Tassive, 31 to 1. Portu-
guese, 17 to 18. Venezuela, 35 to 7. Buenos Ayres,
24 to 6. Mexican, 15 to 16. Brazilian, 75 to 7.
Danish, 71 to 3. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
43 to the Fours, 72 to 4.
Foreign exchange bore higher rates to-day, but
with transactions extremely limited. On Amsterdam
the negotiations were 12.41 to 5; ; on Rotterdam,
12.5 to 6; on Antwerp, 25.95 to 6; on Hamburg,
13.141 to 15 ; on Frankfort, 1211 to 122 ; on
Paris, 25.80 to 95; on Vienna, 10.16 to 18 ; on
Leghorn, 31.10 to 15 ; onPaples, no quotation, be-
cause nothing done; on Madrid, 461 to ; all at 3
months. Oa Lisbon. at 60days, 511 to a.
The political revolution in Paris has been accompa-
nied by a revolution in public values or securities,
both of France and elsewhere, as might be expected.
As a matter of curiosity, and of interest perhaps as
well, it may be worth while to compare the fluctua-
tions in the public funds which followed upon the re-
volution of July, 1830, with those which have taleen
place since the revolution of February, 1847, still
it may be add in progetss, commenced. The French
and English stocks slone need be noticed, and of these
only the Three per Cents. At the beginning of June,
1830, the French Three per Cents. were quoted at
79, and some time previously had stood higher; Con-
sols at the same date were about 95. For some days
after the July revolution was acc,..mplished, so far as
the dissolution of the government of Charles X., the
Bourse was closed, and no dealings took place. The
first report, so far as appears, was on the 7th August.
The quotations before and at that date may be thus
given :
1830.
July 26, French Three per Cents., 78f. 50c Consols, 931
July 27, 726.40 e „ 92
Ans. 7, „ 761. 95e.
For the week since the 22nd instant, which may be
called the first day of the present revolution, the quo-
tations have been as follow for Consols; but as the
Paris Bourse has been closed, and ie not to open till
to-day, nothing can be known positively about those
of the Rentes beyond the vague report of their being
called from 50 to 5.5.
1847.
Feb. 22. French Threes, ....... Consols 89
825
It wit aseen"that the fall in "Consols, for the first
week now ended, is out of all proportion beyond the
fall which occurred within nine days after the revolu-
tion of 1830 had commenced. How the French
renter may show upon the opening of the Bourse
this day remains to be seen. Some further details of
the downward progress of the values of public secu-
rities in times of political commotion may be conve-
niently given on another occasion.
