Ann Nentnasnuteau, 17, • decent-looking woman, tall
and fair, way placed at the bar, indicted for stealing two
10/. Bank of England notes, the property of George Arnold,
her master.

Mr. Collins, instructed by Messrs. Lewis, of Ely-place,
Prosecuted.

The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. George Arnold, of
1, St. Martin's-place, a■ domestic servant, and on the last
Sunday in March two 10/. notes were missed, and the pri-
soner absconded. When taken into custody by Butcher,
the prisoner said she took the notes. She spent the money
with her young man.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Collins said he believed the prisoner had taken the
money, and spent it in finery to decorate her person and
in taking out her " young man."
It was also further stated that she had been previously
convicted 1111.1 had suffered six months' imprisonment, and
had got into the prosecutor's service with a false character.
The Assistant-Judge said they had great doubts whether
they ought not toenail her to penal servitude. If ahe came
before them again, she would undoubtedly be sent away
for a long time. The sentence upon her was 12 months'
Imprisonment with hard labour.

Pietro Sti!mani, an Italian warehouseman, residing at
No. 26, Cross-street, Hatton-garden, was charged before
Mr. Knox with feloniously cutting and wounding Joseph
and Sebastian° Bongiovanni, two Italians, residing at
Nos. 7 and 8, Rupert-street, Haymarket.
Joseph I'epino said—l am a waiter at Nos. 7 and
8, Rupert-street, Haymarket. About 3 o'clock this
morning I was proceeding down Wardour-street in com-
pany of Joseph and Bebastisao Bongiovanni and others,
and happening to turn round, I saw the prisoner behind
me. Joseph Bongiovsnni then turned round, and directly
after he did so he exclaimed, "I am stabbed !" I then
saw that the prisoner had a stiletto in his hand. Sebes-
tiano then went to the assistance of his brother,
and about two or three minutes after found that be was
stabbed in the side. The prisoner was then detained till
the police came, and he was taken to the station.
Mr. Knox—Did the prisoner say anything!
Witness—He never spoke.
Mr. Knox—ls the prisoner known to the injured man!

Mr. Knox. —Where had you spent the evening!
Witness—We had been to a ball at the Cambridge-hall,

manner. I believe Sebastian° had some words with the
prisoner on going back to the hall to look for a friend. I
went to the Middlesex Hospital with my friends.
Prisoner—l had no knife in my hand.
Frederick Jarman lit E—At ten minutes pest three
o'clock this morning I was in Oxford-street and hearing
a cry of "Police," went to the corner of Wardonr-street
and saw the prisoner being held down by the last witness.
There were two men bleeding, one from the arm sad the
other from the side, and they said the prisoner had stabbed
them. A stiletto WAS picked up by another constable. I
took the prisoner to the station, and afterwards went to

The Nottingham Guardian notices the death of
a well-known naturalist, Mr. John Prideaux Selby, of
Twixell House, sorthumberland, and Ightham Mote,
Kent, which took place at his residence at Twirell, in his
87th year. Mr. Selby's name is familiar to all British
naturalists as the author of a work, in two volumes, upon
British birds, illustrated by coloured folio plates, which
continued to be the standard book of reference until the
appearance of Mr. Yarrell's volumes on the same subject.
Mr. Selby was also the author of a book on British forest
trees, one of Mr. Van Vooret's series, and be contributed
the volume on pigeons to the " Naturalist's Library,"
edited by his friend, Sir W. Jardine, Bart. Mr. Selby's
name is also associated with that of Sir William as joint
editor of three volumes of " Illustrations of Ornithology."

THE ORIGIN OF RITUALISTIC VISTMENTS.—
They have not the slightest tincture of Flamen or priest In
their whole descent. They are the dresses of the Syrian
peasant or the Roman gentleman, retained by the clergy
when they had been left off by the rest of society ; just as
the bishops long preserved the last relics of the Bowing
wigs of the time of Charles 11., as the bluecoat boys recall
the common dress of children under Edward VI. as
quakers maintain the sober costume of the Commonwealth,
as a clergyman's bands, which have been regarded as sym-
bolical of the cloven tongues, of the two Testaments, of
the two tablet of the law, are but the remains of the
turned-down collars of the time of James I. Their very
names bear witness to the fact that there was originally
no outward distinction whatever between clergy and laity.
They thus strike, If they have any historical significance
at all, at the root of the vast hierarchical system, of
which they are now made the badges and ornaments. The
" alb" is but the white shirt or tunic, still kept up in the
white dress of the Pope, which used to be worn by every
,asant next his akin, and in southern countries was often
his only garment. A variety of it, introduced by the Em-
parent Commodus and Heliogahalus, with long sleeves,
was, from the country whence tlteiLtn
brought it, called the
Dalmatioa. The " pall" is the u, the woollen cloak'
generally the mark of philomop ere, wrapped round the
skirt like a plaid or shawl. The overcoat, in the days
of the Roman empire as in our, was constantly changing
its fashion and its name ; and ihe slang designations by
which it was known have been perpetuated in the ecclesi-
astical vocabulary and are now used with bated breath, ma
if speaking of things too sacred to be mentioned. One
such overcoat was the cape or cope, also called 'hoick,
the " waterproof." Another was the eharable, or mak,
" the little house," as the Roman labourer called the
smock frock in which he shut himself up when oat at
work in bad weather. Another was the elracalla, or careen,
or cameo, " the cassock," brought by the Emperor, who
derived his own surname from it, when he introduced it
from France. The " surplice " is the barbarous garment,
the " over-fur " (seiperpetticiam), only used in the North,
where it was drawn over the skins of beasts in which our
German sad Celtic ancestor, were clothed. It was the
common garb—" the white coat" (coact eandens)—worn by
the regular clergy not only in church, but in ordinary life.
In the oldest Roman mosaic, that in the Church of Sta.
Pndentiana, of the fourth century, the Apostles are repre-
sented in the common classical costume of the age. No
thought had entered the mind of the church, even at that
time, of investing even the moat sacred personages with
any other than ordinary dresses.—Edinburgh Retire', new

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Oirs o'Ottroz.

The dealings in the stock markets to-day are not
very numerous, but prices generally are rather
firm, owing to purchases by recent speculators
for a fall, combined with additional invest-
ments on account of the public. At the same
time the preparations for the fortnightly
settlement, which have already commenced,
in consequence of the large extent of the trans-
actions during the last fortnight, show a limited
supply of stock, and a considerable absorption by
bowl fide buyers. Consols are unchanged for
money, but have risen 146 per cent. for the
account. Some of the foreign securities and home
railways have likewise advanced, the principal
movement being in London, Brighton, and South
Coast stock.

The directors of the Bank of England have made
no alteration to-day in the rate of discount. Since
this announcement was made the demand for money
has somewhat increased, but the supply is large,
and the best paper is taken at 21 per cent. The
rate for short advances in the Stock Exchange is
2 per cent. _

Consols are now quoted 90 to 1 for money and
901 for the account (May 9), and the Three per
Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cent.., 891 to

prem.

There is a slight inquiry for foreign stocks, and
Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, Italian of 1861,
and Mexican have improved 1 per cent. Chilian
and Danubian scrips, however, are lower.
Turkish Bonds of 1866 are quoted 261 to 1 ; Greek,
121 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 19/ to 1 ; ditto Certifi-
cates, 121 to 1 ; Italian of 1861, 431 to ; Mex-
ican, 151 to 1 ; Russian Scrip, 41 to 41 dis., ex
div. ; and Chilian Scrip, 7 to 6 die. ; and Danu-
bian scrip, 8 to 7 dia.

American securities and Atlantic Cable shares
exhibit no movement of importance, but
the 5-20 Bonds are rather firmer, at
to 08k. Erie Railway shares are quoted
34 to 37 ; Illinois Central, 72 to 73 ; Anglo-
American Telegraph, 171 to 181 ; and Atlantic
Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference 4 to I.
Bank shares are quiet, with little business, and
prices generally are unchanged.

Financial and miscellaneous shares remain dull.
International Financial are quoted 2a to dia. ;
London Financial, 231it° 22i die. ; General Credit,
31 to 21 dia. ; Credit Fonder, 71 to 61 dia. ; Na-
tional Discount, 6i to prem.; and Hudson's
Bay, 153 to 16.
The third ordinary general meeting of the
shareholders of the Anglo-Austrian Bank will
be held at Vienna on the 29th of May,
to receive the report of the directors, and to
declare a dividend for the year ending the 31st of
December last.

A petition for the winding-up of the Wallachian
Petroleum Company (Limited) is to be heard before
Vice-Chancellor Wood on the 4th of May.

Two o'CLocx.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter
opened at 65fr. 10c., showing s reduction of / per
cent. The telegrams state that the Bourse is
"agitated.,,

HALF-PAST THREE o'Ctot•s.

There is an increased demand for public secu-
rities, and the general tone of the markets is better.
Consols have improved i per cent., both for money
and the account ; viz., to sol to 1. It is stated
that higher prices have been received from Berlin
and Paris.

About 8,0001. in American eagles has been taken
out of the Bank for the Continent.

The demand for money yesterday was quiet, both
at the Bank of England and in the general market,
where plenty of money could be obtained at 21 per
cent. on good bills, and there were occasional transac-
tions at 21. In some quarters an idea has lately
grown up that the Bank are likely to reduce their rate
of diacount almost immediately to 2i per cent., and
in justification of this view reference is made to the
continued falling off in the discount business at
that establishment, the last return having shown
a further diminution of 436,5381. in the advances
on private securities. It is also pointed out that
though the reserve then showed a decrease of
129,2001., Chia was accompanied by a decrease of
557,5251. in the Bank's liabilities on deposits. It
is true that we have now arrived at the period of
the quarter when the demand for discount is
usually at its minimum, in consequence of the
mass of government money diffused at the be-
ginning of the quarter having worked itself into the
channels of trade ; and it is certain, moreover,
that the existing political suspense, by crippling
trade in many departments, must check the crea-
tion of mercantile bills. The operations of the
German houses, for example, are completely
paralysed. But this very feeling of uncertainty
with regard to the future will render the Bank
directors indisposed to make any alteration in the
rate, and the additional fact presented to-day of a
commencement of withdrawals of gold on conti-
nental account must confirm the tendency to cau-
tion. On previous occasions it has been remarked
that the first effect of apprehensions of war on
the Continent has been withdrawals of gold
from this side, simply because mercantile
firms abroad feel the necessity of strengthen-
ing their position against all contingencies, but
ultimately it has been found that foreign capital to
a large amount seeks an asylum here. The rea-
sonable inference seems to be that no alteration
will take place in the value of money at present,
though the ultimate accumulation bids fair to be
larger than ever.
The half monthly settlement in shares and
foreign stocks will begin to-morrow (continuation
day), and end on Monday.
About 68,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from
the Bank yesterday for the Continent, making a
total of 130,0001. since the date of the last return,
while none has been sent in from abroad during the
same period.
Owing to the prospect of war on the Continent
some business took place yesterday at Lloyd's in war
risks, chiefly upon French and Prussian vessels,
but there were also a few transactions as regards
neutral ships. The rates charged to cover the risk
of capture and seizure) ranged from ss. to 20s. per
cent., according to the date of sailing and the
length of voyage.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shows this week a decrease of 1,2411 cum-

The daily fluctuations in the London market for Ame-
rican securities have been of unusual severity, prices being
influenced almost entirely by the various rumours current
as to the course of European politica United States
5.20'5, which left off this day week at 714 to 11, were at one
time sold as low se 071, but on &lightly more favourable
trgafrom the Continent have rallied a little, and close
tta 65. It is evident that large sales have been effected
here on German amount, and that the market will for
some time he affected chiefly by the warlike or pacific
intelligence received from abroad. Illinois Central shares,
on an advance in premium on gold in Bow York, have
declined nearly 4 dela., closing 72 to 73, but Erka have
been comparatively steady, the latest quotation. to
37, being Imo than 1 dol. under the price of this day week.
Atlantic and Great Western Sectional Bonds ren,.iiu
steady, but the Consolidated Panda have declined to 90
to 21.

The annexed is from Messrs. Seller and Rate-
man's Tea Circular, dated yesterday :

We have great pleasure in being able to report a more
cheerful tone in this market than has been witnessed for
many months past. The deliveries continue on a satiated,-
tory scale, and the dealers in the country whose stocks
have ran to rather a low ebb are beginning to send in their
orders more freely. The arrivals since the Bth inst. have
been heavy, viz. eight sailing vessel, and one steamer, with
cargoes aggregating 5,788,9181ba. Many paresis, ex recent
arrivals, have been pressed on the market, and occasional
sales made at low rates, particularly for common black leaf
kinds. A fair amount of business has been done in fists
KeillOWS at 2s. to 2.. Id., and in exceptional cue. as high
as Is. sd. °specks have been sold at Is. lld. to 2s. Green
tees have continued in request, and those recently arrived
have brought extra sates. Scented Capers are eagerly
sought for, and the sales ex Cheetah have established a
further advance of id. to Id. per lb. Scented Orange Pe-
koes from Canton have again sold lower.

MINES.-(71118 DAY.)

Ow' o'Cioos.

The mining market is quiet to-day, and prices
show no variation of importance. West Chi-

At East Russell meeting yesterday the accounts
showed a balance of liabilities over assets of 2601.,
and a call of as. per share was made.

RAILWAYS.-(THIS DAY.)
