ALLEGED ENCROACHMENT ON PUBLIC RIGHTS
AT RIGHGATZ.—We bees authority to state that the report
which appeared in this paper yesterday under the above
head, is erroneous. he Burdett Cootie's request to the
vestry of St. Pancras was to have Brurnmage•walk—a nar-
row footpath shut in by high &noes, and not " leading
across the fields," as stated—properly repaired and lighted,
and this request appears to have been entertained. The
memorials for the clods( of the lane emanated from a
section of the clergy,smthy, and tradespeople of Highgate.
OBTAINING A RECEIPT WITHOUT PAYING. —A
female named Lariat* wife of a wineshop keeper, of the
itue Chabrol, at La Chapelle, was, on Saturday, tried by
the Tribunal of Correctional Police for a singular offence.
On the sth October last a wine dealer with whom her
husband dealt went to demand payment of 1,0091., balance
of a hill for goods supplied. She objected to three items,
one of 9f., another of 724., and the third of 2501., as not
due, and, after some discussion, the dealer consented to
strike out that of 721., but retained the others. He then
s4ned a receipt for the sum due, and the woman, whilst
talking, took it up. After a while he asked her to give him
the money, but she maintained that she had paid him, and
positively refused either to give the money due or to restore
the receipt. Under thew circumstaacei elle was accused of
swindling. Her advocate contended that, admitting that
what was stated was true, the act was not swindling, nor
embezzlement, nor robbery, nor, in fact, anything punish-
able by law. But the Tribunal held that it was what
Art. 401 of the Penal Code calls " a fraudulent taking of
money," and it sentenced the woman to four months' im-
prisonment ; it also ordered that she should restore the
receipt to the osuiplahmat.—adiriani,

MONEY MARKE2.-aIIIS 041.)

Two o'Cwcw..

The funds to-day are decidedly firm, although
baldness is limited. Prices are now quoted
about 1-16 per cent. higher than yesterday after-
noon. On the Paris Bourse the immediate ten-
dency is likewise favourable. Here, the principal
buoyancy is in the market for British railway
stocks, particularly Midland and Berwick, which
have risen about 2 per cent.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at
67fr. 55c., being per cent. better than yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 92f, ft, and
f, ez div., for the account (January• 10). The
present quotation is 92 9.16 to 1. The official
business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 233 ;
Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, ; New Three
per Cents., 921, ; Thirty Years' Annuities, ex-
piring in April, 1885, 16 3-16 ; India Five per
Cent. stock, for account, 101, es div.; ditto
Bonds, 10s., 6s. die ; Exchequer Bills, par,
38. dia.

Foreign stocks are steady. The Turkish Loan of
1864 is quoted 701 to 71, and that of 1858,
561 to 571. This department is generally quiet.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Four per
Cent. Certificates, 1001, 101 ; Maxima Three per
Cents., for account, 211 ; Portuguese Three per
Cents., 1856, 1857, and 1859, 44,1, ex. dir. ; ditto for
account, 44 ; Russian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents.,
921, 1, 93, ex div.; Spanish Three per Cents.,
491, 48i ; Turkish Six per Cents.c 1854, for
account, 70: ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for ac-
count, 57, 1; Venezuela Three per Ceuta., for ac-
I count, 201.

Foltz O'CLOCK.

Console are flatter ; the present quotation is 92f
to 4, ex div., for the account, being 4 per cent.
lower than at 2 o'clock.

The telegraphic statement that Russia has just
contracted a home loan of 100,000,000 roubles is
understood merely to mean a continuation of the
measures for consolidating the existing floating
obligations of that empire. The payments for the
loan are, doubtless, to be made in the existing
paper, which will thereby be funded.

The supply of English Government Three per
Cent. stock as well as of Exchequer Bills, is being
diminished by some considerable withdrawals on
account of the deposit of 600,0001. or 700,000(.,
which is required to be made by the 15th instant,
on the railway and other bills now pending in
parliament. it is of course more advantageous to
deposit stock than money, as in the latter case the
interest will be lost for, perhaps, air or seven
months.

A further sum of 36,0001. in Australian gold, by
the Great Britain, was taken to the Bank yesterday,
while, on the other hand, 60,000 sovereigns were
withdrawn for exportation to New York. Of the
residue of the gold by the Great Britain about
60,0001. is known to have been purchased for
transmission to Paris and Spain, and the rest, it is
said, will be refined here, after which its destina-
tion will be determined. None of the gold recently
arrived appears to have been bought on account of
the Bank of Prance.

The steamer Canadian, which left Liverpool yes-
terday for Portland, took about 13,0001. in specie.
Messrs. Whistler, Dawson, and King. wholesale
grocers and colonial produce agents, of Fenchurch-
street, have stopped payment. Their liabilities
may perhaps range between 20,0001. and 26,0001.
There has been some irregular dealing with a sum
of 4,0001. by a junior partner.
The Eastern Countieli Railway traffic return
shows this week, an increase of 1,2962.; the Midland
an increase of 4,3901. ; the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire, an increase of 868/. ; the North
Eastern, an increase of 4,0491, and the Lancashire

The half-yearly meeting of the Brighton Railway
Company is convened for the 28th inst., and will
be made specal, to authorise the canoelment of all
unissued shares and stock, and the creation of fresh
securities.

The halt-yearly meeting of the Australian Trust
Company is called for the 30th inst.
The liquidators of the Eastern Archipelago Com-
pany have called a meeting of the shareholders for
the 15th instant, when they will submit an account
showing the progress made in the winding up.
The fourth call of 3/. is to be paid on the shares
in the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company by
the 31st inst.

The dividends are advertised on Wilmington and
Raleigh Railroad Bonds.
We are informed that the Oriental Bank Corpo-
ration have been appointed the hankers in India of
the Rut India and London Shipping Company
(Limited).

The report of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite is sub-
joined
The market in London for American securities has been
very 'toady during the past week ; quotations are almost
without alteration ; the tendency is, however, towards im-
provement. Illinois shares and Erie shares are very 6nu,
closing buyers at 24 discount and 3 i respeotively.

THICINDAY EVIIIRSCL

div., for the 10th January, opened this morning at

ture was a rise in English, Scottish, and Australian

for Electric Telegraph stock.
