COMMERCIAL

Gloom once more overshadows the Stock Exchange,
the most reassuring portion of the statements made by
ministers on Friday night having been officially explained
away. The prospect of a ministerial crisis had likewise
some effect. The chief prejudicial influence, however,
was due to a continuance of the large foreign Sales of
Lotaabardo-Venetian and French Railway shares. With
the approach of the 4th of the month, the demand for
money has become more active. Few bills were dis-
counted to-day below 21 per cent. On the Paris Bourn,
to-day, the Three per Cent. Rentes have fallen 1 per cent.
The Austrian Funds fell f per cent. Alt Vienna yesterday.
There were no gold operations at the Bank to-day.—

Daily Hews City Article, Tuesday Evening.
The English Funds opened this morning without
alteration, but have since experienced a further relapse of
more than a quarter per cent. The accounts from the
Paris Bourse- are still unfavourable. After regular
hours there was a tendency to increased heaviness. The
Government Broker to-day bought £20,000 consols for
the savings banks. The daily purchases have now been
taking place, with little intermission, for more than three
months, 'and it is estimated that they must have
amounted to an, aggregate of nearly £1,000,000. Money
continues in fair demand, at 2 to 21 per cent. In the
Foreign Exchanges this afternoon the rates on Austria
have again advanced ; other places were about the
same as last post.—Times City Article, Tuesday Evening.

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE,

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD,

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Two wicked looking fellows,
named Myles and John Stanton, brothers, were charged
with having committed a murderous assault on Edward
Morgan, who is married to their sister.- The officer who
had the prisoners in charge, said, about one o'clock in
the morning he met the complainant in Vauxhall-road,
and seeing he was in a desperate state, from
wounds in the head, he took him to the Northern
dispensary, and had the wounds dressed, and then
went to Charters-street, and arrested the
prisoners, as complainant informed him that they had
assaulted him. He found a poker in their place covered
with blood. The complainant then came into the box,
and seemed to be suffering very much. He was covered
with flood, and his face was much swollen and bruised.
He stilted that the prisoners were drunk, and, without
any provocation, they fell on him with a poker, and beat
him on the head and face in a serious manner. Surgeon
Finegan, of the Northern Dispensary, said, he dressed
the injured man's head. There were eight extensive
contused and lacerated wounds on the head, all down to
the -bone, and all of a serious character, and at present
he could not tell what the result would be, as the man
was in a serious state. The prisoners were remanded
for a week, in order to see how the injured man would
Ingress.

TlNLAwrur. CONDUCT' OF A LAW-CLERK.—A person of
respectable appearance, named John B. Williams, who
said he was a law-stationer's clerk, and living in Finch-
street, was charged by his wife Mary with having
violently assaulted her.. The lady stated that she went
to a public-house in the locality, in order to watch the
movements of the. prisoner, who was in the house. She
watched him for two hours, and at twelve o'clock he left
the place, and walked down the street, talking to himself.
Mr. Mansfield : -What was he saying ? He was speaking
aloud to himself: " Shall I go home to my wife - shall
I go home to my wife ?" And then he stopped for a bit,
and said, " No, I shall not go home to my wife, but I'll
go to my Other woman." I then came up to him, and when
he saw it was me, he turned round and struck me violently,
on the face, and gave me this black eye. Mr. Mansfield :
Has he ever done so before ? Yes, sir ; very frequently.
The prisoner did not offer any defence, and his Worship
fined him £2, or to be imprisoned for two months.
THE DANGER OP A LIKENEss.--jchn . Williams, alias
Hart, a returned convict, was brought up by officer R.
Peel, 286, on the following 'charge: It 'appeared that, on
Monday week, the house of Mr. Brookfield, Who keeps a
draper's shop and public-house, in Park-road, was
entered, and three coats, a pair of trousers, two pieces
of cloth, with other property, stolen therefrom. A little
girl saw the prisoner leave the place on the day in ques-
tion, and when-the things were misted, she gave a descrip-
tion of him. On the Monday in this week; Mr. Brookfield
found the prisoner stealinginto the house witlandiarubber
slippers, so as not to make a noise ; he arrestedlim, and
then ihe was recognised by _the little girl,. He was
lodged at the Central -office, and when Peel, the officer,
saw him, " Oh. ho," says he; " I have seen this fellovi',e
like4ss before, and I'll try what I can do." Remember-
ing whEe he saw the likeness, he proceeded to a house.
in 4bstinence-street, Park, which is notorious for'
receiving stolen property. He proceeded to search the
place, and at once got-the likeness of the prisoner hang-
ing on a wall. 'On going through the house, he did not
