over the left eye, another adjacent to the carotid artery,
and a third cut under the left bladebone. They were all
of them deep and clean cute, andmighthave been done with
the pen knife produced.
Peter Lauri*, 28 L, said he saw a mob at the corner of
the Waterloo-road, and on going up saw the prosecutor
bleeding in the face. He said he bad been stabbed, and
pointed out the prisoner as having done it. He found the
penknife produced in his pocket.
The prisoner denied the charge al Cher. He merely
went up to see what was the matter when he was taken
into custody.
Mr. Woolrych committed him for trial.

WIIRTEMBURG.

(ZZOTZII% =UMIAK.)

STUTTGARD, MAY 23.

The Chambers were opened to-day. The speech
from the tfirone expresses a hope that the difficul-
ties in Germany may yet be peacefully settled, by
justice being rendered to Schleswig Holstein and
by the accomplishment of federal reform. In the
contrary case, " Wnrtemburg, with her allies, will
I resolutely place herself on the aide of right."

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Owz
The dealings in public securities to-day are
rather limited, but the general tendency of
prices is not unfavourable, a hope being enter-
tained that the Congress will soon meet, and that
war may yet be averted. Consols are unchanged
for money, but are 1-16 per cent. higher for the

account. Foreign stocks show a slight rise in some
cases, and British railways are steady. Financial
shares are unaltered, with the exception of an advance
of 6e. in Credit Foncier and Mobilier. Bank shares

are heavy, owing to the announcement just made

with reference to the Bank of London. In the

market for miscellaneous shares, there is a demand
for Egyptian Commercial and Trading, at an im-

The applications for discount to-day are rather
moderate, yet the charge for choice bills is still 10
per cent. It is noticed, as a satisfactory feature,
that Bank notes are being returned from the pro-
vinces to London.

The shares of the Bank of London are quoted
to-day 10 discount to par, with 101. paid, but this
price is quite nominal, the " jobbers" refusing to
deal. It may be explained that the Consolidated
Bank simply take over the current and deposit ao-
counts of the Bank of London, without making
themselves liable for the other engagements of that
undertaking. _ .

The suspension is announced of Messrs. Robin-
son, Coryton, and Co., private bankers, of thian-
chester—a firm connected with the European Bank,
but their liabilities are understood to be limited.

Consols are now quoted 86a to with div., for
money, and 851 to a, ex div., for the account
(June 6).
The foreign stock market is somewhat firmer.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 have improved 1
per cent. ; Greek, # ; and Turkish of
1865, Spanish Certificates, and Mexican, /.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 60 to
62 ; ditto of 1865, 30a to ; Greek, 10 to 11 ;
Spanish Pasaive, 19$ to ; ditto Certificates, 14a
to a ; Italian of 1861, 39 to ; Brazilian scrip,
8i to dis. ; and Mexican, 16g to g.
United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway
shares are unaltered, at 64,4 to I and 421 to /, re-
spectively ; but Illinois Central have risen per
cent., viz. to 76 to 77.
International Financial shares are now quoted

2} to 2 dia. ; London Financial, 15i to 141 die.;
General Credit, 3} to 3 die. ; Imperial Mercantile,
10 to 9 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 2; to die. ; Overend,
Gurney, and Co., 18 to 16 die. ; and National
Discount, 5i to 6i prem.
HALF-PAST TIIREE O'CLOCK.
Console are quoted 86w to with div., for
money, and 85;, ex div., for the account, being
about the same as at 1 o'clock. _ _

About 40,0001. in gold has been withdrawn from
the Bank for exportation.
The Bank of London have made arrangements
for the transfer of their business to the Consoli-
dated Bank (Limited). The former bank was
established in 1855, and has a paid-up capital of
400,0001., in addition to a reserve fund of
302,3241. There are 40,000 shares of 201.
each, upon which 101. has been paid, and
transactions were recorded yesterday at 91., or V.
discount. After official hours the quotation was
still lower. The Bank of London, which is an un-
limited concern, has for some time past been largely
identified with financial operations, and in this
way its funds have been locked up. It is stated,
however, that eventually these transactions will be
closed without any loss to the shareholders. The
foreign banking business of the undertaking is
understood to be of the best description, and
.it has
a large number of deposit and current accounts,
although they have been reduced considerably of
late. At the meeting of the shareholders held on ,
the 17th of January last, the disposable balance
amounted to 42,0871., and a dividend and bonus,
equal together to 20 per cent. per annum free of
income tax, were declared for the half year. It
was then decided to reduce the 1001. shares into
five of 201. each. The following official paragraph
I was sent to us late last evening for publication
1 " We are requested to state that an arrangement
has been made between the Consolidated Bank and
• the Bank of London, whereby the Consolidated
' Bank will protect the current and deposit accounts
of the customers of the Bank of London. The bu-
siness will be carried on without interruption as
heretofore in Threadneedle-street and Charing-
! cross, to which premises the Consolidated Bank
will forthwith be removed."
An instalment of 10 per cent., making 55 per
cent. paid, falls due to-day (Wednesday) on the
Brazilian Loan for 5,000,0001. sterling, introduced
in September last by Messrs. Rothschild and Sons.
I The remaining instalments are 10 per cent., pay-
! able on the 24th of July, and 9 per cent., payable
, lon the 26th September.
Messrs. Luck ie Brothers, merchants, have stopped
withjavm liabilities amounting to about
F:), 0007
The following circular has been sent to
their creditors :

182, Fenchurch-street, May 22,1866.
Gentlemen,—Being unable to meet the difficulties
thrown upon us Ly the recent failures we are under the
necessity, for the interest of all ooneenaed, of suspending
payment. We have placed our books in the hands of
Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., who will
prepare a statement of our affairs and place it before you
at as early a period as possible. Meanwhile we solicit your
kind forbearance, and remain your obedient servants,
Lucius BROTHER&
At the meeting yesterday of the Bank of Queens-
land the directors' report was adopted. The
balance of profit on the operations of the half-year
was stated at 10,373/. but a considerable amount
of bad and doubtful debts has been incurred, en-
tirely from advances made by the colonial manager
upon securities which now prove to be insufficient.
There is consequently a deficiency of 42,0711.,
which it is intended to cover as follows .—From
balance of undivided profit, 7,6081. ; ditto reserve
fund, 3.0001. ; ditto capital account, 33,3921.
The following has been received from the secre-
tary of the Egyptian Commercial and Trading
Company (Limited) :
A conference took place to-day between a number of
shareholders in the Egyptian Commercial and Trading
Company (Limited) and the directors. The parties present
at the meeting represented 30,782 shares, or more than one-
fourth
of the entire capital. A statement of the assets
and liabilities of the company was submitted to the meet-
ing ; and, after a lengthened and full explanation of its
,resent postilion, and the circumstances under which the
had found it necessary to make the recent call, it
was proposed, seconded, and unanimously resolved : " That
this meeting, having heard the statements made by the I
chairman, expresses its satisfaction at finding that the
capital of the company is intact, although a considerable
portion of it is temporarily locked up; and furthetr, that the
call which has been made is the best step tha could be
taken in the permanent interests of the company." A
vote of confidence in, and thanks to, the chairman and
directors was passed ; and it was elicited by a question
from a proprietor present that the directors and employes
held 25,270 shares in the cowpony, having recently in-
creased their holdings.
