THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

CLERKENWELL.

THE. LATE ROBBERY OE HOW. WORTH OP JEWELLERY.
Catherine Padm, alias Riley, who stands committed on
a charge of stealing 8001. worth of jewellery, the prrty
of Mr. Edwin Walter, watch-chainmaker, of Birmingham,
from Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell, was again brought up
on a question of haiL
Since the last examination Inspector Potter, withPoliee-
constables Sanger and Knowles of the G division, have
seized the following property, for which owners are
wanted :—One gold flimsy ring, set with three corals ; one
ruby and emerald half hoop, small diamonds at points ; an
arched flexible gold bracelet, with purple enamel centre,
ruby doublets, weight loz.:kiwts. The whole of these
articles can be seen on application at the police•atation,
King's-creas-road.
Mr. George Lerigo, second usher, reported that one of
the bail tendered was not sufficient, and as he in conse-
quence could not he accepted, the prisoner will be detained
until fresh bail are tendered and accepted.

THROWING STONES AT RAILiiAT TRAINS.

miens Peaks, aged a, and Edward Seal, aged 7, two
respectable and intelligent-looking children, residing with
their parents at Upper Victoria-road, Holloway, were
charged with throwing stones at a train while in motion on
the North London Railway, whilst passing the Westhourne.
road-bridge, to the danger of the passengers, at the parish
of Islington.
For Mlle time past the travellers by the above railway
have made frequent complaints of having been annoyed and
assaulted by stones being thrown into the carriages by boys
standing on the embankments and the bridges. Yesterday
one of the railway porters saw the defendants along with
some other boys on the bridge, and saw them throw atones
at the approaching trains. s the express was approach-
ing Seal said to the other boys, "Here comes another,"
and when it was passing under the bridge both threw
stones at the train. They were apprehended whilst on
the bridge.
The defendants made no defence, and did not seem to
know the nature of the charge preferred against then,.
The mothers of the defendants, who were in tears, said
they were sorry for what their children had done, and on
hearing Mr. Darker's decision to remand the defendants to
the House of Detention for a week, asked that bail might
be taken.

Mr. Rasher declined to accept bail, and said that the
defendants had been guilty of a most serious offence, for
which they might be sent to the session, for trial, and if
found guilty could be sentenced to two yesrs' imprison-
ment with or without hard labour. He did not know
whether the company would consider that the boys being
detained in the House of Detention for a week would
be a sufficient punishment, but if they did not, and asked
him to send the case to another tribunal, he should most
certainly do so.
The defendants were then removed in custody and
locked up in the cells.

WORSHIP STREET.
A SHORT CARE= 01 LIIKEZZLEMENTAND THEFT.

respectable-looking man,
employed by Mears. Snowden, grocers and tea dealers,
in the City-road, to deliver goods, receive moneys
for the same, end in various other capacities, was charged
before Mr. Ellison with stealing sugar. The prisoner had
,been about fifteen months in the service, was well paid,
and bad the confidence of his masters ; a trivial and acci-
dental circumstance brought to light • string of embezzle-
' ments, not of great amount singly, but collectively
rather extensive. Since his apprehension be has
written a letter to the firm, not only ex-
pressive of his penitence, but giving a somewhat
detailed account of his proceedings, in the course
of which he states that be was first induced to tut
wrongly by taking email articles, such as packets of mus-
tard, &c., of scarcely any value.
Mr. Vann, for the prosecutors, said that a book had been
found showing prisoner to have invested money in a build-
ing society while in his situation,and there was not a doubt
that this money was part produce of his robberies.
Prisoner was committed on three charges for trial at the
Isessions.
SOUTHWARK.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A PRISONER IN THE POLICE CELL.
Esther Lloyd, a dissipated-looking woman, was placed at
the bar charged with creating a disturbance in the public
streets, and afterwards attempting to strangle herself in
the polioe-cell.
It appeared from the evidence of 97 L, that about 10
o'clock on the previous night be was called to • house in
the Waterloo-road, where he found the prisoner under
the influence of drink and in a frantic state. She was
abusing a female in one of the houses and breaking the
windows when he took her into custody.
Police-constable 27 L, said he had charge of the cells
when the prisoner was brought into the station-house, in
Tower-street, Waterloo-road. She was charged w4h
creating • disturbance and breaking windows, and he
I locked her up in one of the cells. Shortly afterwards he
proceeded to the cells, and perceiving her with her hands
up to her throat and motionless he entered and found that
she had attempted to strangle herself by fastening one of
her garters round her neck. She was partially insensible
when he took the garter off. He removed her into the re-
serve-room, when she soon regained her senses, and was
afterwards left under supervision.
The prisoner, who said she was so drunk that she did
not know what she was about, was remanded to Horse-
monger lane gaol.

ATTEMPTED ar !TIDE AT N Kea mom ra-isionor.
Priscilla Dotson, 20, a tailoresa, was finally examined
charged with mating a most determined attempt to com-
mit suicide at Westminster-bridge.
It appeared that between ten and eleven on Tuesday
night the 9th inst., a man named Rogers saw the prisoner
jump off the Surrey side of the bridge, when he procured
the assistance of a waterman, and with great difficulty
saved her. She said she had a quarrel with her family,
and was in great distress of mind. . .

The prisoner now said she had received great consolation
from the chaplain of the gaol, and regretted that she had
attempted such a wicked act. She promised not to repeat
it, but to live peaceably with her family.
The magistrate suitably admonished her, and ordered
her to be given up to her grandmother.

LORD JUSTICE ROL? rAztria HIS SEAT IN THE
CHANCERY APPEAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)

It having become publicly known that the newly
appointed judge of the Chancery Appeal Court, Sir John
Rolt, now Lord Justice Rolt, would take his 'eat this
morning on the bench for the first time the court at half-
peat 10 o'clock was densely crowded wits Queen's counsel,
junior counsel, solicitor% suitors, and the general
public. One of the latest Queen's counsel who ar-
rived was ilr. Selwyn, the Solicitor-General elect,
and on his taking his usual seat within the bar he was
warmly shaken by the hand and congratulated upon his
elevation by Sir Roundel] Palmer and the whole of the
gentlemen of the bar, who surrounded him on either side.
Then there was a pause, and about 20 minutes to 11 Lord
Justice Lord Cairns entered, and was immediately fol-
lowed by Lord Justice Rolt, who looked remarkably
well in his new wig and new suit of silk.
Both their lordships bowed low and reverently
to the bar, and then took their seats. Immediately after-
wards, without rising, and evidently lxhouring under feel-
ings of deep emotion, Lord Justice Lord Cairns said—lt is
impossible for us—at least it is impossible for me—to re.
same my sittings here, after the temporary adjournment
of the court, without reverting to the great loss which the

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Oyu olhooz.

The Bank directors, who have maintained the
rate of discount at 2i per cent. since the 30th May,
notwithstanding their strong position in bullion
and reserve, and notwithstanding that the terms
in the open market are I per cent. below their
minimum, made no change at the weekly court
this morning. In the present condition of Lom-
bard-street, this policy has occasioned no disap-
pointment. The stock markets are very dull. The
weather is now beginning to exercise rather an ad-
verse influence, which is not counteracted in any
way by the action of the public, who are literally
doing nothing. The funds have receded g, and
railways are all flat.

The terms for money in Lombard-street are not
altered by the retention of the 2} per cent. mini-
mum at the Bank of England. There is just a
slight increase in the inquiry, but not sufficient to
affect the rates, the best bills being still taken at 2
per cent. On the Stock Exchange quotations are
nominally the same as yesterday, but money is
not wanted.

Consols are dull at 94„ fur money, and at 94
to 1 for account, being 1 lower. Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 931 to 94.
India Five per Cents. remain at 111 to }.
A decline of 1 to} per cent. has taken place insome
of the railways, and this department is generally
flat, though comparatively few sales are being made.
Metropolitan Stock is now quoted at 1211 to 3 ;
Great Western, 40/ to 41 ; London and North
Western, 112 to ; Midland, 1141 to 1 ; Lancashire
and Yorkshire, 1271 to 1281 ; Caledonian, 110 to
111 ; South Eastern, 63} to 64; Great Eastern, 261
to } ; Great Northern, 112 to 113 ; ditto A,llO to it ;
London, Chatham, and Dover, 161 to 1 ; North
British, 30 to 31. London and Brighton stock, 491 to 1.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 have lost the slight im-
provement of yesterday, being now quoted at 561
to 571. Those of 1865 remain at 311 to 1 ; Greek,
141 to 1 ; Spanish Passives, 21/ to 224 ; Certifi-
cates, 16 to ; Italian (1861), 491 to 1 ; Mexican,
16 to }. Other foreign stocks are altogether with-
out animation.

American securities continue dull. The 5-20
Bonds are quoted at 72} to 4. Erie Railroad, 454
to 464, being If lower ; Illinois Central, at 77 to 78,
ex div. ;Anglo-American Telegraph, 184 to 191, being
advance ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. Prefer-
ence, 4} to ; and Hudson's Bay, 15 tot.
The shares of the financial companies are de-
pressed and in some cases lower. International
Financial are quoted 2to dia. ; London Finan-
cial, 22 to 20 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ;
and Credit Foncior, 6to 53 dis.
National Discount Company's shares are quoted
at 113 to 121, being a little firmer.
At the half-yearly meeting of the London Joint
Stock Bank this morning, a dividend at the usual
rate of 124 per cent. per annum was declared,
together with a bonus of 64. 3d. per share. This
is equal to 11. sa. per share. A balance is car-
ried forward of 2,1751. 185. 4d.

The report of the National Discount Company,
issued this morning, shows a gross profit for the
half-year, ending June 30, of 93,3991. Se. 6d.
and after deducting the current expenditure,
making provision for doubtful debts, and re-
serving 21,6141. Bs. 10d. rebate of interest, on
bills not yet due, there remains, with the
sum of 9,527/. 10s. 11d. brought forward from the
last account, a balance of 69,1761. These results
enable the directors to recommend the appropria-
tion. of 65,6761. 2s. to the payment of a dividend at
the rate of 17 per cent. per annum, free of income
tax, upon both the old and new capital, and to carry
forward to the next account the sum of 3,4991. 18s.
The dividend is payable on the lst August.

The Stock Exchange Committee have decided
that Saturday next shall be observed as a special
holiday in that establishment, in order to enable
such of the members as are volunteers to take part
in the review at Wimbledon. This is of course in
response to the appeal published the other day from
the heads of the volunteer movement.

51,0001. in bar gold was yesterday sent into the
Bank, while 13,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for
export to Batavia. During the week the Bank has
received a total of 86,0001. from abroad, while the
only withdrawal is that mentioned above, so that
the week's gain is 73,0001.
The Fulton, from Now York, has arrived off
Falmouth, with 84,600/, in specie.
The biddinp for bills on India took place yester-
day at the Bank of England. The amounts
allotted were :—To Calcutta, Rs. 4.13.000 • to
Madras, Ra. 100,000 ; and to Bombay, Re. 10,00,000.
The minimum price was fixed as before, at Is. I Id.
per rupee on all the presidencies. Tenders at the
minimum on Calcutta and Madras will receive in
full, and on Bombay about 63 per cent. All ten
ders above the minimum will receive in full. These
results show little sign of revival in the demand
for the means of remittance to the East. . _ .

A general meeting of the Anglo-American Tele-
graph Company has been called for Friday, the 2nd
of August, when it is believed a dividend of 255.
on each 101. share will be paid, free of income tax,
as on the Last occasion, making the distribution for
the Tear 453. per share, which with the income
tax is equal to about 23 per cent. for the year. A
balance of about 10,0001. will be carried forward to
the credit of the reserve fund, but it is believed
that the shareholders will be advised to discontinue
any such deduction as regards the future, so that
. . be

Electric Telegraph Company (Limited) is called
for the 315 t inst., " for the consideration and ap-
proval of the report and accounts ; for the declara-
tion of certain dividends," &c.
The half-yearly meeting of the City Discount ,
Company (Limited) is called for the lst of August,
when a dividend is to be declared.

From the report of the Scottish Australian In-
vestment Company (Limited), to be presented at
the half-yearly meeting on the 26th inst., we make
the following extracts :
The directors have the pleasure to submit to the pro.
prieton the accounts embracing the operations of the coin.
pray for the half-year ending at the 31st of December,
lnk, in Australia, and at the 30th of June last in London.
The gross profits realised in the colony during the above
period are 27,785/. ss. 10d. ; of which (as subsequently '
explained) 2,500/. are placed in suspense. To the Wan*
of 25,285/. ss. 10d. has to be added the sum of 515/. ss. .
received in London for commission and transfer fees, &c.,
