It appeared front the evidence of two police constables of

A large number of persoae bad collected round them, sod
the coastaides endeavoured to diapers. the mob. The female
Prisoner was very violent, and refused to gu away, but the
other female, on seeing the constables, instantly made off.
A policetheastable took Willie into custody, when the male
prisoners, who were also intoxicated, rushed upon him and
endeavoured to fora bur from him. Roberts caught hold of
him by the throat, while the other prisoner struck him about
the body. Pocock then caught bold of the female. and en-
desvoured to drag h. r away, wt ii. the other still held him
by the throat. The conetnble was almost rendered exhausted,
and would have been compelled to releue the female if an-
other c tastable had Lot arrived and sedated in taking all the
prisoners into custody.

necessary fora in taking the female into custody, and ad-
mitted they attempted toes rcue her, but denied assaulting

MONEY MARKET.

TVZSDAY EVININCI.
The market for pubic securities to-day has under-
gone some slight drpressioe, which is attributable
ehie fly to si.eculative operations in eunnexiou wi'h
the preparations of the dealers for the settlement
which takes place to-motraw. Consols opened at 95/
to 96, then fell to 951, and again recovered the first
price, at which they continued until about the close,
when they rallied and marked 961, closing at 96 to
for cash and to-morrow's account. For the 11th of
April they ere quoted 961. The Three per Cent.
Reduced marked 963 and 3. The transactions in the
NewThree-sad-a-Quarter ner:Cents.:were more nume-
rous, and varied from 983 to 1.
Exchequer Bills, in evidence of the abundance of
money, have advanced another shilling to-day ; they
were done in all grade, at 60a., 57e., and lest at

and 61 ; India Stock, for Account, 26,5 ; South Sea
Stock, 1061.
The business in the foreign house was not im-
portant, and presented scarcely any feature. The
efforts of the Spanish government to rase a loan for
about 300,0001., showing the extreme poverty of the
exchequer, caused some weakness in the market for
that stock ; the Actives were done at 171, and the
Three per Cents. at 361. Peruvian were
first marked 701, bat closed at 72, the highest
point. Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Russian Scrip
was done at 11 prem. The transactions comprise :

and 171 for time; the Three per Cents., at 361 far
account. Venezuela, at 33.
The rates of exchange for bills on foreign places,
for this mail, show scarcely any deviation from those
of last Friday. The course on Belgium was a little
lower, whilst bills on other places were negotiated at
former rates.

Commercial advices dated yesterday, from Ant-
werp, report a dull market for coffee, owing to parties
awaiting the result of the public sales in Holland
before they operate. The stock at date was estimated
at 75,000 bags. Sugar was without inquiry. In
cotton nothing had been done of any importance,
owing to tho spinner, having supplied themselves at
the late public sales of damaged wools. Hies., to
the extant of 5,000 pleats, had been disposed of at
maintaising prices. The grain market was dell, and
wheat had declined florin in prim.

St. Petersburg advice, of the 2nd state that much
dulness prevailed in the tallow market ; the transac-
tions were limited to 1,600 casks for August, at 112
to 111 r., with 10r. down. There were sellers at the
latter price, and at 107 cash down, but scarcely any
buyers on these terms. In flax nothing had been
done owing to the high pretensions of the holders.
It was supposed about 110 r. will beithe price on con-
tract. A small lot of tow had been taken at 66r. For
clean hemp 873 r. had been agreed to be paid on deli-
very in spring. Some small parcels of linseed had
been disposedot at 27r. for Utica', and 224 for Neff,
