chemist and druggist, residing at No. 27, High-street, Bt.
John's Wood, wan Owned with having eommitted brutal
assault upon ha wife, Rebecca Havard. Tke compl tin Ant,
whose head and face were covered with wooed', stated that
on Sunday herself and the prisoner, accompanied by thi it
five children, went to dine with he prisoner's mother at
Woolwich. In consequence of being somewhat late when
they arrived at the latter plsoP, her mother-in-law spoke in
an angry tone to the prisoner. The lst,-r took offence at this
and kit the house, and promoded home, leaving herself and
family behind. On her return home, at half-past ten o'clock the
same night, she was told by a neighbour that the prisontr
had gone to bed in a state of intoxicatioo. Complainant
then knocked at the door, and tried to make i.lin hear. Not
suceeetimg she went to a person residing close by and pea-
enred a ladder, by means of which a man got into the house
by the window, and found the prisontr lying in bed wiry
dru de. '1 he noise of the children who wore with I.•r awou
the prisoner, who came down stairs In a great ?assign,
and a Irked her, by addressing her in language of the filviest
nature. He then tore her bonnet and clothes, and having
thrown her down on a chair put one hand round her neck
while with the other he beat her ,eve rely ab •ut her head
and face. lie then attimpted to strangle ker. She called
out for help, and after a sharp struggle nhe managed to get
away, and ran to the house of a neighbour, who sent for a
surgeon to dr, ss her wounds.—Evidence corroborating com-
plainant's statement having been given, Mr. Broughton
tined the prisoner Cll. for the brutal sunlit on his (prison, es)
wife, and in default committed bins for two months to the
House of Correction. In addition to that he should require
him to enter into his own recognisance, in 50/., and to find
two sureties in 401. each, with 21 hours' notice of bail.—The
prisoner was conveyed to prison.
LAMBE 111.—Tititow:e OUT OP A WINDOW. —Amelia
Glover was charged with throwing Thomas Norris out t f s
fiat-floor window.—The complainant, a carpenter, whose
face was much disfigured, deposed that on Saturday night
last, while under the influence of drink, he accompanied the
prisoner to her lodgings, No. 10, New-street, Old Kent-road,
when she attempted to extort some money from him, and
threatened that unless he complied with her demand, she
would throw him out of the wiudow.—He, however, reiused
to give her the motley she demanded, upon which she placed
a table against the door, deliberately opened the window,
and flung him out of it into the street. He fell on his face,
and was so stunned by the fall that it was some time before
he recovered his senses, and was still suffering severely from
the effects of the injuries be teceived.—Puliceman, Lewis
Bray, said that on Sunday morning his attention was di-
rected towards last witness, who was lying in New-
street, in a state of perfect insensibility, and it was fully
three quarters of an hour before he thoroughly recovered his
senses. In the interim the prisoner was secured.—Mr.
Elliott observed that he should send the prisoner for trial,
and directed the constable to take out summonses for the at-
tendance of :the witnesses on the following (this) day, to
which time he should remand the prisoner.
, SOUTHWARK.—ATTORNEY'd COTS UNDER FALSE
PRETENCES.—F. J. .41oss, an attorney, was charged before
Mr. Combs with obtaining 11. 14s. costs in a cause
decided in the Southwark County Court, under fa'se pre-
tences.—Mr. Farmer, a clerk in the Southwark County
COllll, now produced a book containing en entry of the case,
' Hill v. Robineon," and stated that the prisoner called at

the court subsequently to the decision of the cue, and repre-
sented, in answer to the questions put to him, that he woo
th, at'orney engaged in the mover. That upon these re-
presentations he ( witness) paid him over the costs, amount-
ing to 11. 14s.—The prisoner contended that he was engaged
as senieitor in the cause referred to, end that he was only
anxious to court inquiry, and would be able to prove satis-
factorily that he had not acted in the business contrary to
the act regulating the county courts.—Mr. Comte said that,
in his opinion, if a fraud bad been committed it was against
the county court ; that as the matter at present stood he
should give the complaining party an opportunity of in-
dicting the prisoner, and for that purpose he should adjudge
him to enter into his recognisances to appenr at t. at court
em Wednesday, and in the meantime proceedings might be
adopted against him at the sessions which were then holding
for the county of Surrey.—The accused, having entered
into his recognisance, was liberated.
THAMES.— ArrsurrEn MURDER.— W. Robertson
wan charged with attempting to stab James Ellis, residing
at Chillin.court, St. George'sin-the-Eaat. The prisoner, on
the prsvi.us eigh•, as the prosecutor was passing along be-
' tween•he Wept India Dyck and the Canal-bridge, Lime-
house. was lying across the road, and requested to be helped
up. Ellis at last, supposing him to be drunk, refused to have
seething Si do with him, but on his stanng that he had
fallen and hurt himself he stretched out his left band, hav-
ing an umbrella open in the right, and helped him to rise.
As soon as he was on his legs the fellow made a rush at the
prosecutor. Fortunately Ellis, who saw something gleam-
ing in his hand, bounded back, and the knife with which
it then appeared prisoner was armed touched him slightly
iu the cheat. With considerable presence of mind Ellis,
pretending as if he had fire arms, induced him to put up the .41
knife under resin of having his brains blown out. Ile did no, :11,
upon whish Ellis seized him by the wrist and held him until 4r,
policeman Houghton came up, who, at first, instead of taking li
the charge, ullowed him to pass over the bridge, where he „r
stood against a door way until Sergeant Ham came up and S
ordered him into custody. A large cone knife, sharpened 3:
dagger-wise towards the point, was feu, d upon hue.—Mr.26,
Balbintine (to the constablee : When such a charge was r;.,
made it was your duty to stand by the prisoner until it was y
inquited into. Why did you not do so ?-11eughten : A gen- IP.
Ui man who was there, sir, told me that there was a dispute ',I
between the two men.—Mr. Ballantine Ycu must settle a
that with your inepecter, Mr. Smith, and if you cannot do az It
a.tislientily, he will report you to the commissioners.—The itt
prisoner was then remanded fur a week, to afford time for to
some inquiries as to who be is.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVENING.

Although the Chancery broker was a seller of Con- at
sole, and other stock, to some extent to-day, and at a 21
moment when the market appeared weak, and rather ih
inclin re irg downwards, yet ready buyers we found, r
and prices subsequently improved. The continuation is
of tranquillising accounts horn Ireland, with the re- t
port, in a third edition of the Daily News, of a deci-
sive victory of the Sardinian army over the Austrians, it
assisted materially the improvement of pric: a. Con- 2 •
sole, which we re done as low as 861, rallied in the 1;,
alter part of the day to 87, and left off 8O to 7 both g,
for money and account. Reduced Threes were 86t
to 7. 'three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 871. to I. N
Long Annuities, 8 13-16 to Bt. Exchequer Bills, ad
33a. to 375. premium. India Bonds, 335. to 365. It
premium. Bank Stock, 197 to 9.
The transamions in the toreign market were limited it
to :few stocks, almost exclusively indeed to Mexican
and Dutch. The former were done from 171 to for 91,
money, but quoted at the close 171 to for money ;
but for account I better. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents, were lover, at 43 to 4 ; the Fours, 69 to 71.
Spanish Fives, 111 to 1 ; the Threes, 211 to 1; Pas-
sive, 2t to 3;,t. Portuguese, 18 to 19. Venezuela,
la to 17. Brazilian, 69 to 71. Chilian, 81 to 4.
New Granada, 111 to 121. Russian, 97 to 9.
Danish, 67 to 71. This was settling-day in foreign
stocks.
The market both for home and foreign stocks comes
reported weak and in decline from Amsterdam.
Some severe animadversions are made in the Com-
m( rce, Paris journal, on the decree of the govern-
ment for the encouragement of foreign trade by
doubling the premiums on exportation, notably of
cotton and woollen fabrics. It is properly observed
that the country at large, more especially agriculture,
is made to say for the profit of industrial interests
which, for Fiance, are of secondary importance. In order
that Germany, Italy, and transatlantic countries, may
be more cheaply clothed, the French nation is cot
only taxed superfluously, but placed in the disadvan-
tageous position of not being allowed to provide it-
self so cheaply as its neighbours.
The Dublin World, after describing the desolation
of trade generally in that capital, has the following
discouraging details about monetary and railway
interests:

The gloom that lunge over everything else of course affects
injuriously all descriptions of public security—bank. railway,
insurance, and ether shares, displaying a painful " alacrity
at sinking." Bank of Ireland stock, which was eagerly
purchased a twelvemonth since at 195, cannot now realise
187, and its value is not likely to be enhanced by the run
for geld, which has been briskly kept up for the last few
days. Hibernian Bank shares are at a discount, although
they were at 11. premium in July, 1847: ;National Bank
share. fetch 181. on 221. 10s. paid up ; the Its Bank strug-
gles had to keep at par, its stuck raving [alien 20 per cent.
from the quotation of 1847 ; City of Dublin Steam-packet
Company is at a discount of 25 Eer cent upon the paid-up
ahaTes ; the quot Aloe now is /U., last year 871. 15n.;
Patriotic Insurance Company's shares can hardly be passed
off upon any once for 71. 10a, in July, 1847, they fr.o ly ob-
tained 101.; the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company,
which figured last year at 661., has dwindled down to 53/.
and the Mining Company of Ireland, he retofore considered
a e mita itecAment, bah fallen from 71. to 41. per there,
many of the mines having been tilled up, the colliers having,
in obedience to the counsel of the confederate journals, ahan-
d•:ned their work, end carried oil the tire.arme of the resi-
dent managers. The blight upon the railway interests is
greater. Dublin and Kingstown shires, which last year were
quoted at 46/ , cannot now bring 1301. ; the Great Southern
and Western—the main trunk. line of Ireland—which was
nearly at par a year ago, is, now that the works
are tar advenci el, in so deplorable a state that the
shares on which 421. 10s. has been paid up, cannot
hiring '251 The Waterford and Limerick per gents this fright-
ful declension—the shares on which 451. has been pai3
cannot actually get purchasers at 121.; Dublin and Drogheda
Third., on which 251. has been paid, are not wor h 101. ;
Midland Great Western, instead of 491. 10s. (paid up), can-
not bring 151., anti the directors, who would be insulted if any
one doubted the it sanity, actually contemplate making ano-
ther call of 71. 10s. prr share ; while the holders of scrip in
the Dundalk and Enniskillen, C.rk and Waterford, Newry
and Enniskillen, and many other projects would be delighted
to make a present of such property (!) to any one who would
relieve them of the responsibility attached to it. One of the
hex's conducted railways in Europe in the Ul-ter, and yet the
rem ip•s for the week ending the 23rd of July (with thirty-
six miles open), exhibit a falling off, when compared with
the corresponding week of 1847, (when there were only 25
miles opt ned) to the tune of 2251., or nearly 25 per cent.
