officers at the Greenwich terminus of the South Eastern
Railway, appeared in discharge of his recognizance,. He had
been permitted to go at large until this day, on his personal
recognisance of 5i., in consequence of his signifying to the
inspector on duty that be had to do duty as Captain of the
day at Windsor, he being an officer of the Scots Fusileer
Guards. The charge against Sir Archibald McDonald was
for obstructing Mr. William Casey, Inspector of the Green-
wich Railway Company, and a sworn officer of the metro-
politan force, while in the execution of his duty. After
some evidence similar to that which appeared is yesterday's
paper, the case was dismissed. When it had been disposed
of, the Hon. Spencer Lyttleton, addressing the bench, said,
he wished it to go to the public that himself and friends
were not drunk as stated in the former report, the aerjeant
who took the charges admitted that they were not is liquor.
They had certainly been dining out and drank some wine,
but not more than usual.—Mr. Jerem said that on an occa-
sion of a solemn fast day, it would y have been more wise
to have observed unusual abstemiousness. The parties then
withdrew from the court.
WOOLWICH.—ASSAULT BY A SOLDIER. afftel
Thompson, • gunner of the royal artillery, was charged
with a brutal assault upon Martha Peck, and also with
wilfully breaking windows. The prisoner entered the
Duke on Horseback" in a state of intoxication, and behaved
so violently, that the landlord was compelled to turn him
out of the house. He returned in a few minutes with two
' brickbats, and struck the woman violently on the forehead
and neck. He then commenced pelting the windows of the
house, and destroyed glass to the amount of 124. He was
so violent that it required the aid of ten men to take him to
the station-house. The prisoner was fined 40s. for the
assault, and 12s. for the damage, and in default, was com-
mitted fur six weeks to the House of Correction.

MONEY MARKET.

Filmy Evannito,

This has been another quiet day in the funds, the
transactions few, but prices better, with more appearance
of solidity. Comas, soon after the opening of business, ad-
vanced from 891 to 1 to 891 to I for money and account, at
which rates they loft off. India Stock was done at 2474 to
2484. Bank Stock for account 205 to 6. Exchequer-bills
par to Is. premium. Consols scrip par to j premium.
In foreign securities business was even more dull than on
any former occasion for months past. A few bargains were
reported „in Mexican, which improved the quotations to
211 to 21. Spanish Fives were rather worse, at 224 to 3 ;
the Threes, 34 to 4. Portuguese, 34 to 5. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 581 to 91 ; the Fours, 921 to 31,
Foreign exchange was done at about the same quotations
as last post day. On Amsterdam the rates were 12.21 to 3;
on Rotterdam, 12.21 to 3l; on Antwerp, 25.75 to 774 ; on
Hamburgh, 13.91 to I ; on Frankfurt, 1201 to I; on Paris,
25.674 to 724; on Vienna, 10,04 to 1 ; on Leghorn, 30.20;
on Madrid, 361 to 4—all at 3 months. On Lisbon, at 60
days, 534 to I.
The Bank of England averages for the week ending
March 20 give, as compared with the week preceding, the
following results:
areulation—lasue 524,487,733
Circulation—Active 19,099,190
Public deposits
Other deposits 9,962,436

Coin and Bullion ..... 11,231,639
7 day end other bills 441,630
The Red 1,971,701
The stock of coin and bullion was still in decline, but
from the fact of • decrease almost corresponding in public
deposits it may be inferred that the withdrawals of specie
were for the most part, if not altogether, for home use, that
is, for export to Ireland on government account, for labour
wages and expenditure for provisions, &c. The continuous
increase of " other" securities was evidence of a prosperous
banking business, but the accompanying reduction of the
reserve of notes in the banking department would appear to
indicate thnt the point of liberality in accommodation was
close at hand beyond which the Bank, upon the restrictive
credit system now in forte, might not safely adventure much
farther.
