DESPERATE STRUGGLE BETWEEN A THIEF AND A CONSTABLE. 1
A young man who gave the name of George Williams,
was brought up on remand charged with being found in
the house of the Rev. Robert Henley, 11, The Cedars, s
Putney, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony.
It appeared from the evidence that about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon of Thursday That the prisoner entered the ,
house from the area. His footsteps were heard by Mary j
Ann Ashby, one of the servants, who on going to the
pantry saw him inside with a silver fork in his hand and in
the act of putting it down on the chimney-piece. She
instantly locked the area door to secure the prisoner, who
asked her to let him go. She refused, and ran upstairs to
tell her master. The prisoner, however, followed her up- '
stairs and managed to escape from the house by the front
door. He was pursued by the 11ev. Mr. Henley and given
into custody.
The prisoner's defence was that he had no intention to
steal plate when he entered the house, but to get some-
thing to eat as he was hungry. Seeing the fork lie picked
it up, but the thought came upon him to put it down, and
he was doing so when the servant came and lucked him
in. He then ran to the ball and got out.
The magistrate then proceeded to hear a charge of
assault.
Police-constable Cole, 127 V, said that on Thursday
afternoon he was in the Upper Richmond-road, when he
took the prisoner into custody. He was very violent,
threw him several times, kicked him in the chest, and
struck him. He had a desperate straggle with him before
he was able to secure him at the station.
The prisoner said he had not the strength to throw the
constable down.
Cole said the prisoner put his legs between his own, and
so threw him down.
' Mr. Ingham committed the prisoner for three months for
being in a dwelling house for the purpose of committing a
' felony, and at the expiration of that time to a further
imprisonment of one month for the assault upon the con-
• stable.
Another young man was charged with Lim, but the
1 case failed against him, and he was liberated.

A private letter from an English lady in a
mining district in Victoria, says :—" I would not exchange
the bush for a town life. Society out here is so different
from what it is in England. Many very flourishing people
are the children of old convicts, and at the diggings here a
gentleman was telling me the other day that in one claim
twenty persons were working, only two of whom had not
received a classical education. You do not lose caste what-
ever you turn your hand to."

tendency of prices is unfavourable. Consols Fx-
hibit a fresh reduction of 1-16 to it per cant.
Foreign bonds have also given way, as well as sdine
of the English railways. London, Chatham, end
' Dover Railway stock is especially heavy. Ranking
shares are quiet. There is rather more business in
financial shares ; the chief variations are a rise of
10s. in London Financial, and a reduction of
12s. 6d. in International Financial.
The applications for discount to-day are moderate,
and the supply of money is rather good. The
general rate for the best paper is 4 per cent., but
exceptional transactions are quoted at a fraction
below.

Consols are now quoted ag to 86 ex div., for
money, and 86} for the account (July 10).
The foreign stock market is flat, and a decline of

50,0001. in specie.
The gold operations at the Bank yesterday were
unimportant, comprising the purchase of 8,0001.
and the withdrawal of 3,0001.
The Aleppo, from New York, has brought
382,0001. in specie.
The steamer Pera will take to-day only 11,142/.
in specie for the East.
About 85 packages of specie belonging to the
Hanoverian government reached the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday, where they are deposited for safety.
It may be as well to explain that this treasure,
though warehoused in the Bank's custody, is not
bought by that establishment, and therefore will
not appear in the periodical returns.
The foreign exchanges were unsettled yesterday,
owing to the war on the Continent. The rates for
hills on Paris were firm, but as regardsthree months'

The failure is announced of Mr. George Furness,
the well-known railway contractor, with liabilities
for a large amount.
The acceptances of the old and respectable firm
of William Hattray and Co., of Rood-lane, West
India merchants, have been returned unpaid. The
liabilities will probably not exceed 70,0001. The
stoppage, which was quite unexpected, has arisen
from the impossibility of obtaining the usual
advances, owing to the present state of the money
and produce markets. The liquidation will, it is
expected, be favourable, and the books have been
placed in the hands of Mr. W. J. White, the
accountant. The following is the circular issued to
the creditors :
Gentlemen,-It is with deep regret we have to inform
you that, owing to the present state of the money and
produce markets. we have been compelled to suspend pay-
ment. Our books have been placed in the hands of Mr.
W. J. White, of 33, King-street, Cheapside, public ac-
countant, who will at once prepare a statement of our
affairs for submission to the creditors, a. a meeting to be
convened as soon as practicable. We have every reason to
believe the liquidation will be favourable ; and begging
your kind indulgence in the meantime, we are. &c.,_
