MARYLEBONE. CHAIROE or STEALING A Hoses
AND linottotiast.—O. (;errant was charged with having
stolen a horse, brougham, and harness, the property of Co.
Henry Everest, No. 14, North Bank, Regent's park.—A
police constable said that on the previous afternoon he met
the prisoner, of whom a description had been given to
connexion with the robbery in question, and he (prisoner)
said to him, " I suppose you want me;" witness told him
that he did, and having told him what it was for, naked
him to go with him to the colonel ; he did so, at the same
time declaring that he was quite innocent of the transaction.
The colonel, who eceu,s,d him of bring the guilty party,
ordered him to be locked up, and he went to the station,
where he (the colonel) signed the charge against
him. Mr. Broughton : Is Colonel Everest here ?
Witness : He is not your worship ; I saw him
this morning, and he nien.tioned to me that be should not
press the charge.—Mr. Broughton : What has become e( the
carriage, &c. 2—Witness : I don't rightly know, Sir; but, I
believe, it turns out that they have been disposed of by the
camel's wife.—Mrs. Mary Everest, a young and handsome
woman, who had been waiting some time in a private room,
wu called into the court and sworn; she stated that she was
now living at No. 4, Douro-cott.ges, and that the prisoner
had been in the colonel's and her service m ceachman ; he
had just left his situation.—Mr. Broughton : Ant I to un-
derstand that you we not now living with Col. Everest 2
Mrs. Everest : Yes, Sir, we are separated.—Mr. Broughton:
What have you to say about this brougham, hone, &c.,
which the prisoner is alleged to have stolen 2—Mrs. Everest:
I have this to say, Sr, the whole of the property was mine, I
had it removed fromt he colonel's premisea,and by my direction
it was taken to livery-stables, where it still remains. The
prisoner is not the person by whom the carriage was driven
away. Ile had no hand in the affair whatever. The tact is,
Colonel Everest gave me the money to purchase the pro-
perty with, and 1 took upon it to be solely and exclusively
mine. 1 saw the colonel this morning, when I told him
that he had given the coachman into custody upon a Wee
charge, aa.l th It I thatild test it my duty tog. up to the
court for the purpose 01 clearing him of ull brante.—The
accused was then discharged.

MONEY MARKET.

WEnNEMIUAY ETENI NO.

The still continued extraordinary rise in the funds
day by day is the subject of surprise with the most
experienced dealers and brokers on the Stock Ex-
change. The rise today within the regulur hours
was 1. per cent. upon the closing quotations of yes-
terday. Tao accounts from abroad read so favourably
that the first bargain in Consols was done at per
cent. in advance at MI, and from thenceforward, with
slight temporary oscillations only, prices unin-
terruptedly progressed to Sol, which was the
highest point attained for business actually
done, leaving off 86a to 1 for the opening. After the
close of the house nominally at the official hour the
transactions there, a d out of doors, were not less
animated than bcocre, and still with ascending quo-
lotions. Consols were bought up to 871, and re-
mained buyers at that advanced and la,t quoted rate.
On the 14th ult., when Console s rut for transfers,
and they were first quoted ex-dividend for the
opening, the quotations were 83 buyers, and with
the dividend on for money 8-4. At 871
for the opening, as done late this afternoon,
the advance has been 41 per cent., and, with the addi-
tion
of 18 for the dividend to the 871, the same ad-
vance on the former money price, the dividends being
receivable this week, and the actual price equal to
881 with dividend. This remarkable and rapid rise
has more than realised the sanguine anticipations of
some of the leading brokers and dealers, who, as no-
ticed at the time under this head, observed on the
shutting of Consols, and when consequently they were
quoted with the dividend off, that it was by no means
improbable, and in the usual routine of affairs, with
events not otherwise adversely interfering, might be
reasonably expected, that before the re-opening of the
transfer-books prices would improve to all the extent of
the le per cent, then deducted for dividend, by which
the stock was quoted less.
The progress of prices noted has no doubt been
greatly accelerated by a favourable conjunction of
circumstances. The easy rate of interest at which
the Bank of England proposed to grant loans on
public and other securities ; the reduction of its rate
of discount subsequently on bills of exchange ; the
impression entertained to-day in various quarters of
an intended further reduction of the Bank's minimum
rate to 3 per cent, at the weekly board to-morrow ;
the redundance of money in the stock exchange and
out of it, with stock so scarce that money might be
