DARING 18041.10? L P 2180311 FROM A
RAILWAI TRAIN.

(Sitar&
Nal,
Thismorning, information was circa-
lated fromas face of police, at Scotland-yard,
of a daring of • prisoner from custody by jumping
from a railway troth while travelling at • great speed
oa the Tilbury and Southend Railway, It appears that
on Thursday a description of a man (a German)
was given at the different police-stations, who had ab-
sconded from his lodging,. at No. 1, Tenter-street North,
Goodman's-461de, carrying with him two gold and silver
watches. Yesterday morning atout 11 o'clock • men answer-
ing tbs.: description was obeerved by detective officer Crouch,
114 R division of Metropolitan police, to per over Shooter's-
bill, and later in the day, from subsequent information he
obtained, • telegraphic message was despatched to Superinten-
dent Everest,of the Kent sounty, constabulary, at Chatham, re-
gulating that the man might be taken into custody. He was
exceedingly apprehended at Sittingbourne. Crouch on Friday
night proceeded to Chatham, and took charge of the
pis mer. and at once started for London with him,
taking the train at the Tilbury ststion and entering •
h secend•. lass carriage. During the time the train was
in molar' the prisoner kept in conversation with the
°film, but, about a mile from the Minories station, he
suddenly row from hie seat, opened the carriage door and,
holding by it, jumpedout. The effete, how-
ever, eneceeded in catching one of the skirts of
his coat, which he held fast in his hand,
the prisoner at the same time contriving to keep up
running with the train. In an inioant the open carriage
door came in contact with some empty carriages standing
On • aiding, and which, flying beck, struck the officer en the
head, calming it to bleed, and 'tanning him for the
moment. On recovering himself Crouch found the skirt of
the enaa's coat which he had hewn holding by, in the car-
riage, and on looking out of the carriage window saw
his late prisoner make his way over the parapet of the
hi railway, leaving hie hat en the lbe of rail.

The United flerrice Go.tet!e says:—" We very
much regret to learn that notwithetandiag the plait taken
by the General Commanding-in-Mel, and the Leiser autho-
rities, to prevent practical joking, a case has occurred in the
76th, at the Carregh, which has rendered a court martial en
two lieutesanta toms oidable."

The Bombay Gazette says that a change has been
made is the mode of impannelling the petty jury in the
Bombay Supreme Court. Instead of Europeans, Portuguese,
Fame+, Hind,oi, and Mah..immedans being kept distinct
from each other in the boa as hertvitire, they are to be seated
in•liecrimiaatel7.

rONEY MARKET.-7HIS DAY.

Two o'OLocw.

The funds to-day show increased firmnas.
Prices are now quoted per cent. higher than they
closed yesterday. In the other departments
of the Stock Exchange the immediate ten-
dency is still favourable, although business is limited.
The dealers have been principally occupied with
preparations for Tuesday's settlement in shares and

foreign stocks.
Consols have been dealt in at 92/ to 921 for mo-
ney, and 921 to 921 for the 7th of June.
The present quotations are 921 to 1 for cash,
and 921 to for the account. The Three
per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at
91/ to 1 ; the New Three per Cents., at 91/
to 1 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of
last year, at 94 ; the scrip of the New
Indian Loan, at 93 to 931; India Bonds at Os. to Bs.
dice, being better; and Exchequer Bills, at 21s. to

225. prem.
The Three per Cent. 'lento; were qaoted
at Paris this morning, at the official opening
of the Bourse, according to Mr. Renter's telegram,
81fr. 50c. for the account, being 1 per cent. lower
than the last price of yesterday.
The foreign stock market is quieter, preparations
for the settlement engaging attention. Prices
generally are firm at the late improvement,
but Turkish stocks are rather less buoyant, the Old
Loan being quoted 641 to 861, and the New, 631 to 541.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Mexican Three
per Cents., for account, 161; Peravian Three per
Cents., 831; Russian Five per Cents., 102; Turkish
Six per Cents., 1854, 65, 64i ; ditto Biz per Cents.,
1868, 641, 64, 64/ ; ditto, Guaranteed Four per
Cents., 1011; Venezuela Five per Cents., 37/.
HAL7-PAST Two O'CLOCK.
Consols are quoted the same as at two o'clock-

viz., 92i to 4 for money, and 92; to 4 for the

-
The discount market remains quite as easy as last
reported. Scarcely any business was done yesterday
at the Bank. Elsewhere, first class bills were taken
at 3 to 31 per cent., with occasional transactions at
lower rata.
There were no bullion operations of any importance
at the Bank yesterday. Another parcel of 68,000
sovereigns has been received from Constantinople,
and will be sent into the Bank to-morrow ; 26,000
more are on the way.
The Treasury have issued a notification relative to
the payment or renewal of the June Exchequer
Bills. The rate of interest offered is the same as
that now paid, viz., lid. per cent. per day, or
21. 6s. 7d. per cent. per annum.
The China exchanges appear to be rather worse.
At Calcutta little change is presented.
On 'Change yesterday afternoon the rates for bills
on Hamburg and short drafts on Paris were quoted
rather more favourably. As regards the St. Peters-
burg, Naples, Leghorn, and Genoa exchanges, the
tendency was in a contrary direction. The varia-
tions generally were unimportant. The rates are
shown below :
Amsterdam three months, 11.16 to 1 ; ditto short,
11.12 to 13; Rotterdam, three months, 11.16 to f„;
An twm•N three months, 26.00 to 26.06 ; Hamburg, marks
beano, three maths, 13.31 to i ; Parts, three date might, 26.71
to 121; ditto, three month*, 26.321 to 35 ; Prankfo
on-

At Bt. Petersburg the exchange on London has
advanced to 331 d. to Id., in consequence of the ship-
ments of gold.
The report of the Liverpool cotton market for the
week shows prices to be nearly the same as on yester-
day week.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 2nd of
Jane for the supply of 100,000 gallons of rum,
60,0001b5. of tea, 6 tons of pepper, and 260 tons of

sugar.
At the meeting of the Venezuelan Bondholders
yesterday, upon a motion proposed by Mr. Capel, and
seconded by Mr. Geo. E. Seymour, the committee's
claim of 5 per cent. on the amount of the arrears or
dividends on the debt was pared down to 3; per
cent. It was estimated that this allowance, after
meeting the committee's outlay, will leave about
2501. for each of the members. Arrangements of this
description are altogether objected to in many
quarters, upon the ground that they may have a
tendency to delay a settlement, since the larger the
amount of arrears the larger will be the amount of
remuneration to the committee. Mr. Capel stated
that he had every ground to believe that the divi-
dend on the Active Bonds will be punctually forth-
coming in July next.
It is officially announced that at the half-yearly
meeting of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi-
gation Company, on the 2nd June, the directors will

According to the report just issued by the di-
rectors of the African Steam Company, the revenae
account shows a credit balance of 5,9041., after
making a reserve for a depreciation fund, and other
deduction'. A half-yearly dividend of 7s. per share,
being at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, is recom-
mended; leaving a balance of 9881. to be carried
forward.
The annual report of the directors of the Oriental
Ou Company shows a profit of 2,2111., being equal
to a dividend of 2 per cent., with a balance of 4611.
The traffic on the Trieste line of the Lombardo-
Venetian Railway Company, for the week ending
the 20th inst., was 44,221/., being 21,3451. more
than in the corresponding week of last year ; and
that on the Lombardo-Venetian line 11,4444 show- i
ing an increase of 3,3591.
Government advertise for sale by tender the spa-
cious site known as Hull Citadel, and " nearly the
whole of the foreshore adjacent thereto, comprising
an area of nearly 60 acres, and having a frontage to
the river Humber of about 1,600 feet."
The subjoined notification has been issued by the
Post-office :—" On the let June next and thencefor-
ward a letter or packet of printed papers, addressed to
Victoria, may be registered on the application of the
person posting it, provided the postage, together
with a registration fee of 6d., be paid in advance."
The return of the Bank of England for the week

vious weekly return, shows the following results :
