knife, and the prisoner then stabbed me right through the
arm and' threw the knife IgitLA the bee.
Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk!
Proeseutrix—He wee tipsy, sir. The knife went through
,my shawl and dress. I went to the hospital last night,

when I leave here. My arm is cut right through. The

Mr. Knox—Was he drunk or sober!

so much so but that he knew what he was about.

past 10 last night I was called to the Marquis Cornwallis,
is Warren-street, and the prosecutrix gave the prisoner
is
chew for stabbing her. The prisoner, who had been
admiring, but was not drunk, said he would fall on his
knees for mercy.
The prisoner—l think I must have been very drank. I
have lived in the neighbourhood four years—some time
mite the witoses's public-house. I have no recollection
having committed the offence. I do not know the -
Lix, and I have no animosity towards any one. I will make
the proeecntrix any recompense I can while her arm is bed.
Do not send me to prison.
Mr. Enox—lt is a serious charge, and I must see the
prementrix out of danger before I dechle on the case. I
shall remand you for a few days, and the doctor can then

mffff MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On o'CLocir.
The abasee of any satisfactory information from
Germany, the unfavourable character of the Bank
of England return, and some considerable sales of
government stock for cash, have canoed a decline
to-day in the quotations for many securities. The
funds were receded per amt., and several of the
foreign stocks f. The financial and discount shares
have also given way in some cases, but British
railways and United States 5-20 Bonds are compa-
ratively steady.
There is a fair demand for money to-day, and
the quotation for choice bills is firm, at 5 7-8 to 6
per cent. The rate in the Stock Exchange for ad-

vances till to-morrow, on English government aeon-
rities, is t 4 per cent.

The Bali of Frame return exhibit some im

portant changes, as usual at this period of the quar-
ter. The following items all show an increase,
viz.: Bills discounted, 1,880,0001. ; notes,
1,896,0001. ; current accounts, 800,0001. ; and ad-
vances, 56,0001. On the other hand, the coin and
bullion have diminished 140,0001., and the treasury
balance, 1,1240,0001.

Consols are now quoted 86} to for money, and
86 7-8 to 87 for the new account (May 9).
The foreign stock market is flat, and a reduction,
ranging from 1 to 3-8 per cent., is observable in
Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, the Com-
mittee's Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Mexican.
The prices are as follows :—Greek, 131 to 14;
Mexican' 20} to I ; Spanish Passive, 27} to 3-8 ;
ditto Certificates, 16 3-8 to ; Turkish, 1862, 67}
to 68 ; ditto, 1865, 36# to 7-8 ; Brazilian scrip,
1} to 1 dis., ex div. ; and Italian, 1861, 561 to
The Viceroy of Egypt's New Loan is quoted
to 1 prem.

American securities have been dealt in at steady
prices. b-20 Bonds are quoted 72 7-8 to 73i ;
Erie Railway shares, 56i to 3-8 ; and Illinois Cen-
tral, 81} to f.
International Financisrshares are now quoted i

dia. to par ; General Credit, 4 to 3-8 prem. ;
London Financial, 31 to 3-8 dis.; Imperial Mercan-
tile, 2 to iLt dia. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier,
24 to 1 prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company,
24 to 4 prem. ; and National Discount, 84 to 4

prem.
The amount of gold bought by the Bank yester-
da/ais a good demand for bar silver and
Mexican dollars for transmission to the East, at
bs. lid. and ss. Old. per mime respectively.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic
return shows this week an increase of 9,5271. over
last year ; the North Eastern an increase of 9,6951.;
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Linoolnshire, an
increase of 3,984/. ; the North British, an increase
of 1,453/. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover,
including the Metropolitan Extension and branches,
an increase of 3,9121. ; the Metropolitan Exten-
sion, an increase of 1,0371.; and the Kent Coast, an
increase of 9201.
The annual meeting of the shareholders in the
Anglo-Mexican Mint Company is called for the
17th just.
The light portion of the mails from Calcutta,
China, and Australia is expected to be delivered in
London on the 12th inst.
The subjoined memorandum gives the substance
of the present advice& from Buenos Ayres :
The private advices from Buenos Ayres are again satis-
factory. In the city business was brisk, the Paraguayan
war having greatly augmented the trade in provisions, and
the banks and other financial establishments were doing a
moat remunerative business. In the provinces everything
was peaceful ; agriculture and mining absorbing much
attention. The paper money of Buenos Ayres was some-
what scarce, the pnce of gold firm, and the National Home
Bonds left off with an upward tendency. Sheep farming,
one of the great sources of wealth in these countries, is in a
prosperous condition ; the disposal of government and pri-
vate lands attracting the usual oompetitioa and excitement;
every confidence in the bellicose and aggressive attemt
the dictator of Paraguay being brought to a speedy collapse.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, April 4, compared with that
for the previous week, shows the following changes :
Circulation issue £28,485,830 Decrease £16,920
Circulation active 22,332,615 Increase 710,885
Public deposits
Other deposits
Government securities in
banking department 10,915,105 Decrease 378
Other 'amities in banking
department 22,094,787 Immo 215,485
Coin and bullion in both
departments
Seven day and other bills
The Best
Notes in reserve
Total reserve (notes k coin)
in banking department 6,919,332 Decrease 821,335
This return exhibits the effects of the draught
upon the Bank's resources which is usually expe-
rienced at this period of the quarter. The large
government disbursements have caused a diminu-
tion of 682,1341. in the public deposits, and as the
Bank has at the same time its advances
on private securities by 21:1,227,d the result is
a further decrease of 821,3361., in the reserve, fol-
lowing the diminution of 1,079,2561. shown in the
previous return. Too much importance, however,
must not be attached to these movements, for at this
season there is usually a large decrease in the Bank's
till. The amount of the diminution in the weekly
return of the sth of April,lB6s, was 1,064,8511., and
at the Bth of April, 1864, 1,140,4511. More re-
markable, perhaps, than the decline in the reserve
is that of 110,4501. in the coin and bullion, in face
of the fact that the amount of newly imported gold
sent into the Bank during the week was as much as
439,0001. A total of 550,p001. has consequently to
be accounted for. Apart from a few withdrawals
of sovereigns for the use of the troops in North
America, the disappearance of so large a mass of
treasure can only be explained by the activity of
the metallic circulation of the country. It is a re-
- assuring consideration, however, that the bulk of
- the coin withdrawn remains in the kingdom, and
will flow tack to the Bank at a later period.
