bad received letters from him, and was paid his
monthly note regularly. Witness felt much annoyed at
her conduct, conaequently he immediately oommunicated
with the police, and after considerable trouble traced his
wife to a small court out of Tooley-street, where he
ascertained she had been living with the prisoner, but she
was out of the way. He, however, discovered nearly all
his furniture in the prisoner's possession and gave him into
custody.
The Magistrate asked what he found there.
Prosecutor replied—A cheat of drawers, a clock, bed and
bedstead, some chairs and other things, all of which he left
with the wife at Wapping.
The prisoner here denied having lived with the prose-
cutor's wife. The fact was that the latter borrowed money
on her furniture of a Mr. Underhill, and not paying it the
furniture was seised, and Mr. Underhill sold it to him.
The prosecutor said he understood Mr. Underhill had
lent his wife 305., but she had paid that, and the furniture
was not seized. In fact, the prisoner was known to have
cohabited with his wife since his going to sea, and when
she knew he was coining home they both removed the fur-
niture thinking he would not be able to find them.
The prisoner admitted living in the same house with the
woman, but he denied stealing the things. What the
prosecutor found he had purchased of Mr. Underhill, and
was paying him by degrees
The magistrates asked the prosecutor if he had found his
wife? He replied that he had, but he should have
nothing more to do with her ; in fact he should go to
sea again to-morrow.
The magistrate observed that there could be no doubt -
she was a bad woman, but no charge of felony could be !!
sustained against the prisoner. Under all the circum- ;
• stances he must be discharged.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Olfi o'Cioei.
The English funds were in good demand at tho
oommencement of business this morning, and im-

proved I per cent., in consequence of theContradio-
tion given to the statement in the Times of Satur-
day that Austria had withdrawn her ambassador
from Berlin. A portion (i) of this advance has
since, however, been lost, the amount of business
being rather limited. Compared with the last
prices of Saturday, foreign stocks, British railways,
and financial and discount shares are also firmer in
several instances. The shares of Overend, Gurney,

and Co., are in especial request, and have risen

7s. 6d. to 10s.

The applications for discount to-day axe not
large, but the rate for good bills is still 5 to 6 per

Consols are now quoted 87} to i for money, and
87i to i for the account (May 9).
The foreign stock market is firm, and prices have
advanced. Italian Bonds of 1861 have improved i

per cent ; Greek, f ; Turkish of 1865, Spanish
Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Brazilian
scrip, 1; and Mexican, f. The prices are as follows :
—Greek, 14 to / ; Mexican, 201 to ; Spanish
Passive, 25t ; ditto Certificates, 15ul to ;
Turkish, 1862, 66 to 67 ; ditto, 1865, mi to ;
Brazilian scrip, 2} to 2 dia., ox div. ; and Italian,
1861, 54t0 #.
United States 5-20 Bonds have declined 1 per
cent., to 701 to f , but Erie and Illinois Central
railway shares are unchanged, at 521 to /, and 80
to f, respectively.
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway scrip is
quoted f dis to par, being lower, and the Viceroy
of Egypt's loan, 11 to 1/ prem.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
--
M.ARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
The supply of English wheat on wale in our market to-
day, coastwise and by liuid-carriage, was oaly
but in improved condition. GOOOl and fins map=
off • 3,, at full quotations. Low and damp parcels '
met a slow inquiry ; nevertheless, last week's prices were
su
kf:rWeet tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat, in which about an average buimess
was transacted, at last week's currency.
The show of English barley was rather limited ; Cl
foreign extensive. All kinds moved off slowly, and, in
some instances, prices had a drooping tearlessly.
The malt trade was inactive, on former terms. The
supply of malt was reasonably extensive.
Oats, the supply of which was good, were in fair request,
on former terms.
Beans met a slow inquiry, at barely stationary
ema prices.
nd
The supply of peas was very moderate, yet the d
was inactive, on former terms.
Flour was in fair request, at full prices.
An increased number of grain and seed laden vessels has
been reported off coast. In wheat, the transactions,
owing to the limited choice of cargoes, have been by no
means extensive. The prices realised for the few cargoes
which have changed hands exhibit an improvement of
fully ls. per qr. upon late rates. New Banat, arrived,
41s. 9d. to 425. ; Ghirka, 43e. 3d. to 45e. per 492114.
There has been • fair demand for maize. In the value of
American produce a decline of tki. per qr. has taken place ;
but other descriptions have ruled firm in price. Galata,
arrived, 31s. per 4921b5., Banat, 30a. 3d.; Lagos, 305.;
mixed American, 295. 3d. per 4801ba. Arrived cargoes of
barley have been in steady request at improving currencies ;
but grain on passage, orfor forward shipment has been much
neglected. Bulgarian, arrived, 295. 9d. ; Odessa, 295. per
400 lbs. A °ergo of Banat oats, recently arrived, has
found a buyer at 22a. 44d. per 304 lbs. No business has
been reported in rye, and the trade for beans has continued
inlithe same unsatisfactory state. We have nothing of in-
terest to notice as regards milleteeed. Danubian is nominally
worth 20s. to Va. per 480 lbs. Linseed has met with but
little inquiry, and to have forced sales lower rates must
have been aooepted. Bombay, in warehouse, 72a. to
725. 6d. ; Calcutta, 70s. to Ths. ; Black Sea and Asoff, 68s.
to 695. ; fine St. Petersburg, 66e. per quarter. The follow-
ing are the quantities of East Indian linseed estimated
i afloat for this country :
