FORGERY IN THE BANK OP E3ioLAND.—Henry Jones,
aged 2t, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, it. the custody
of Daniel Forrester, for re-examination, upon the charge of
committing a forgery on the Bank of England about four
years since.—Mr. Freshfield appeared as solicitor for the
Bank, and Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner.--The charge
against the prisoner was that of having fiirgod the name of
George Edwards to a transfer of stock of 31. 10s. per annum
Long Annuities, which stood in the name of George
Edwards and Sarah his wife. The latter lived with
the prisoner as his wife, and was present when the
prisoner was alleged to have personated her husband.—
Mr. Thomas Compton, of 39, Lothbury, stock and share-
broker, deposed to having effected the transfer for Mr. Bay-
lis. He had identified the party through the representation
of Mr. Baylis's clerk. He witnessed the transfer. The sum
realised was about 45/. He believed the prisoner was the
man, but could not swear, as it was four years ago. Had kept
no account of the numbers of the notes which he had paid over.
He recollected the circumstance well.—Alderman Gibbs : If
you well recollect the circumstances, a ad identified the party,
how is it that you cannot say whether the prisoner is or is
not the man ?—Witness : It is four years ago.—Alderman
Gibbs : You seem to identify anybody. whether you know
them or not—Upon the application of Mr. Humphreys, the
prisoner was again remanded for a week.

COMMERCIAL r 3• MARKETS.

MONEY MA !MET CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Half-past Two o Clock .—The funds remain the
same as yesterday, the market quiet, and rather heavy.
Consols for money, 951 to 1; for time, 931 to 1.
Spanish Bonds were reported rather firmer for a short
time, but they are now dull at the former quotations of 261
to 1 for the Fives, and 371 to 1 for the Threes ; Portuguese,
40 to 42; Mexican, 25 to 1 ; Chilian. 101 to 3; Dana, 83
to 90. Other foreign securities are called as in the list below.
Quartet to Three o'Clock.—Consols have suddenly
declined to 954 to for account, with some excitement in the
market. It is supposed there is some unfavourable news by
express from Paris.
PR( Sla.—The advices f”om Berlin of the 17th
instant, cited in the Uazete de Colog,,r, state that the
deplorable position of money affairs was still prolonged on
the Exchange there, and grew worse, without offering any
well founded prospect of an approaching amelioration. The
emission of the new bank notes, which had been impatiently
expected for the end of the month, was not to take place
till the 15th proximo, according to persons well informed ;
every four days one million of thalers of this paper money
would then be issued, so that the sum to be issued being
ten millions, the operation would occupy forty days.
It is stated that the railway from Berlin to Hsmburgh
would be opened throughout on the 15th of October.

RAILWAYS.

The transactions have been characterised by more
actisity to-day, but chiefly in the tendency to make sales.
Prices are generally weak and ill.sustaincd, when they do
not actually give way. North Staffordshire, of which
the sales were considerable, show a further decl;ne.
So also Leicester and Bedtbrds. The East Indian lines
are losing ground. and some large parcels were brought to
market. North British, and other Scotch lines, are de-
pressed. The share and scrip market altogether, does not
present the appearance of being in a wholesome state.
