CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

(THIS DAY.)

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
firmly, and prices of American were ±,d. per lb.
dearer than last week. The sales were 10,000
bales, 1,500 for export, and 3,500 on speculation,
comprising 8,000 Americans ; 550 Pernam and
Maranham, at 6d. to 77d.; 350 Egyptian, 6d. to
72d. ; and 4,000 Surat, 4d. to 51d. per lb. The
Rtlilway Share Market was more buoyant at a
slight advance.
Yesterday afternoon there was an imprcvement
in the rates of Exchange for bills upon most of
the Continental cities. Paris, 90 days, was taken
at 25 42d1 to 47 z ; Amsterdam, 11 18/ to 181 ;
Hamburg, 13 8 to 8i ; and Frankfort, 11.81 to

In adverting yesterday to the pecular condition
of the money market and the comparatively trifling
influence exercised as yet upon it by the glorious
tidings from Sebastopol, we remarked that the
small advance in the funds could be no fair measure
of the feeling in the City any more than in the coun-
try at large. There are special circumstances which
will serve to explain in part, however, the apparent
sluggibliness that prevails. Cash, as is well known,
is in more active demand, and this day the instal-
ment of 20 per cent., representing a million ster-
ling, has been in course of payment upon Turkish
Bonds. A portion may have been paid in advance,
but not much, we presume, as no inducement was
offered. The Bank lends upon the Scrip at 31 per
cent. until October 11, and this, with the fuller em-
ployment obtained in discounts, has led, it is stated
to sales of stock by the corporation, as a better
alternative than that of raising the discount
charge, for the present at least. What amount
the Bank may have sold, or yet intend to put
on the market, must be uncertain, but 1,500,0001.
has been named. Among the reasons assigned,
also, for the tighter state of the money market, is,
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
borrowed from the Bank upon the further
issue of bills and bonds which he is authorised
to make ; but if we look to the last weekly ba-
lance sheet of the Bank, we find a good balance
to the credit of the Government, and with the in-
stalment upon the Consols loan, due the 18th inst.,
there should be no necessity for immediate borrow-
ing, supposing that the Chancellor has not already
disposed of part of his floating securities, as we
think very probable. A most important considera-
tion likewise is the prospect of the war now prov-
ing less costly.
The English Funds this morning have been flat-
ter, and there have bean further money sales, but
whether rightly attributable to the Bank or not is
difficult to determine. The quotations of Consols
for transfer have been 90 a and 90g- 4, and for
October 90 and 90 to 91. Exchequer Bills are
10s. to 145., and India Bonds 235. to 275.

with moderate transactions. Eastern Counties
are down to 91 for money, ex dividend. Great
Western are heavy, and Midland are lower.
Foreign Shares are rather cheaper generally, in-
cluding the Great Western of Canada.

THIS REGISTRATIONS.—In a few days the revising bar-
risters will hold their courts for the revision of the lists
of voters in the various counties and boroughs through-
out the United Kingdom, when the claims of, and ob-
jections to, each elector will be investigated. With
respect to those against whom there are objections,
many will not be aware that their title to the franchise
will be called in question. It is therefore of importance
to all electors that they should examine the list of objec-
tions, which list, bearing the names of those against
whom there are objections, is posted upon the church
and chapel doors in every parish. In some boroughs
there are associations to watch the interest of the electors,
but in those where none are formed, a large number will
10-e their franchise, as in some boroughs and counties
there are hundreds of objections. In the parish of St.
George, Ilauover-square, alone there are nearly 100
objections.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

GOVERNMENT STORES.— John, Brown, an Irishman,
was charged with having a pair of shoes in his posses-
sion with the Government mark, supposed to have
been stoles.

The prisoner attempted to pledge the shoes at the
shop of a pawnbroker in the Minories, who, perceiving
they were nearly new and had the Government mark
on them, refused to take them, and gave the prisoner
into custody.

The prisoner stated he purchased the shoes on Sun-
day morning in Petticoat-lane for 4s. 63.
Mr. Salim Cohen, a Jew, who was in court on other
business, stated to Alderman Wire, the presiding alder-
man, that there had latterly been a large sale of Govern-
ment stores, the wreck of the Imperatriee, by order of
the underwriters at Lloyd's, and amongst them 30,000
pairs of shoes. When the shoes came home and were
purchased they were much sadden and mouldy, and
they had since been steeped to give them the appearance
of soft calf. He had known 10,000 of these shoes sold
on a Sunday morning. The price was 4s. 6d. The shoes
produced was one of the lot.

The witness having given, the alderman some other
information, the prisoner was put back. The police were
directed to go to Petticoat-lane with the prisoner and
make some inquiries relative to the articles.
Wm. Booth, jun., broker, shortly afterwards attended,
and said he was employed by the underwriters at Lloyd's
to sell the stores. The shoes produced were of the same
description as those he sold, but had in addition the
" broad arrow" on them. 10,000 pair so marked were
sold by the Ordnance Board at the Tower.

Alderman Wire said the marks should be erased before
selling.

Mr. Cohen said the usual course was for the Govern-
ment, under such circumstances, to give the purchaser a
protection, which the retailer should also give his cus-
tomer.

Mr. Alderman Wire having remarked on the impro,
priety of selling stores so marked, by which means inno-
cent persons might get into trouble, discharged the
prison er.

SMUGGLING.—.Tame.9 Vey was charged with having a
quantity of spirits in his possession on which the duty
had not been paid.

Henry Kent, a youth who was taken into custody
also on suspicion, having the spirits in his possession, was
admitted evidence against the prisoner. He stated that
he knew the prisoner ; yesterday about half-past two
o'clock the prisoner tapped him on the shoulder as he was
walking along Tower-hill, and told him he had "a job
for him." He went with him to his residence in
Rostern-row, Tower-hill, where the prisoner told him he
wanted him to carry the bottle produced, which was in
a basket, to the top of the street. Another man was pre-
sent. Ho did so, and was apprehended by police-con-
stable 538, near Fenchurch-street, with the bottle on his
head ; the prisoner and the other man ran off.
Mr. James Gordon, Custom-house officer, proved the
bottle contained 31 gallons of foreign Geneva.
The Alderman fined him in the penalty of 1001., in-
forming him ho might apply to the Commissioners of
Excise for a mitigation of the penalty.

Mr. rates were present. As official assignee he took
possession of the money. He asked Mr. Strahan if there
' was a book in which the securities were entered ? Mr.
Strahan and Mr. Bates looked at each other; but made
no answer. Sir John Paul, he thought, was walking
about the house. Some Dutch Bonds came into his
possession, but they were docketted, and they had
been delivered to the parties to whom they belonged.
Mr. Parry- NVas Mr. Bates present in the parlour
when the conversation took place
Mr. Bell said ho was not sure that be was there at the
precise moment the conversation took place between
himself end Mr. Strahan. He did not take part in the
conversation.

Mr. Jardine said it was immaterial. No jury in the
world, or any man of common sense, would think that
Mr. Bates was not cognisant of the purport of the con-
versation.

Mr. Charles Peppercorn was then called, and added
to his previous evidence that the cheques produced for
the amount of 8,2331. 133. Bd., dated in Sept., were
those given by him. The witness, on being asked for the
order, stated that he had no such book. On being shown
a certain book, he said the entries in it were in his hand.
writing ; he made the entry, which he had just seen, at
the banking house of the prisoner. It was an order to
purchase for Dr. Griffiths 2,0001. Dutch Bonds ; the
numbers of the bonds purchased were, 3,733, 460, 378,
459, 458, 457. This purchase was effected about the
20th January. Subsequently he purchased some more
Dutch bonds, among which was one numbered 3,348. On
June 29, 1843, he made another order of 30,000 Dutch
florins, 21 per cent., and also another purchase of
10,000 Dutch 24 per cents. on the Bth of July, 1843.
The writing "The Rev. John Griffith" upon the bought
note of this transaction was Mr. Bates'.

Mr. Parry—Where did you get that bought note
from

Dr. Griffith stated that it was seat to him by the
bankers in answer to his letter directing them to pur-
chase some Dutch bonds on his account.

Mr. Parry—(handing the document to Mr. Bates)—
asked him whether the words were written by him ?

Mr. Bates answered in the affirmative.

Mr. John Hill, of 3, Bartholomew lane, wa3 then
called, and stated that the purchase of certain Dutch
Stock was made for Dr. Griffith, to upwards of 5,0001.,
and duly delivered to the bank of Strahan, Paul, & Co.

Mr. Bodkin stated that these were all the witnesses he
proposed calling with respect to the purchase of these
bonds, and he should now call witnesses to prove the re-
ceipt of the dividends arising on these bonds by thebank
of Strahan, Paul, and Co.
James Allen, 22, Cloudesly-square, Islington, for_
merly a clerk in the bank of Strahan, Paul, and Co.,
stated that up to the end of 1553 it was his duty to cut
off the cupons. The list produced was made out by
him. It was a list of the cupons cut from the Dutch
Bonds, upon which the bank received the dividends due,
and among the dividends so received some were credited
to Dr. Griffith. The witness then proceeded to explain
the \rations entries in the books of the bank with regard
to the sums credited to Dr. Griffith. The whole of the
entries to which he had referred were not in his hand-
writing. The entries to which he had referred as not
to have been in his hand-writing were made by Mr.
Bates's son.

Mr. Joseph Simpson Beattie was then called, and
stated that he was a clerk in the Temple-bar branch of
the Westminster Bank. He had been a clerk in the
house of Strahan and Co., and had ,he received some
coupons from Mr. Allen, upon which he obtained the
dividends. An entry in the pass-book of 1171. 14s. 2d.
to the account of Dr. Griffith was made by him. It was
dated the Ist of March, and was for six months' dividend
of Danish 5 per cent. stock.

Mr. Thomas Allen, lately a clerk in the bank of
Strahan and Co., but now residing at No. 3, Cook's
Cottages, Hampstead, stated that the entry in the day-
book on the Ist of March was in his handwriting. It
was for 1211., received as dividends on Dutch Stock. On
that day Dr. Griffith was credited with the sum.
Mr. Logan, also formerly a clerk in the service of the
prisoners, proved an entry to the credit of Dr. Griffith
on the 3d October of 1411. 55., on account of six months'
dividend on Dutch stock, was in his handwriting.
Mr. Bodkin said, by the evidence he had produced,
he had proved that the coupons due on Dr. Griffith's
stock had been received by the bank, and by the evidence
of Mr. Savory, who had paid the money to the clerks of
Strahan and Co., he thought that part of the case was
complete, and he should now call Mr. Alex. Beattie.
Mr. Beattie stated that he was a director of the Na-
tional Life Assurance Co., King William-st. He recol-
lected that Sir J. Paul called upon him in the year 1853,
and wanted to raise a loan of 20,0001.; but the society
not being able to lend money on foreign stocks, he re-
commended him to the Stock Exchange. In March,
1854, Sir John called upon him again, and wanted a
loan of a similar amount upon foreign securities. There
being then some difficulty, Sir John said the stocks
might be sold, and the securities were subsequently sold
by Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, and realised the
sum of 12,281/. ss. He gave the money he had received
to Sir John Paul, as he had engaged to dispose of the
bonds for him.

Mr. John B. Gibson, formerly a clerk to Messrs.
Foster and Braithwaite, had a faint recollection of re-
ceiving some bonds for sale. The entry in the book of
10,000 three per cent. Danish bonds, and 5,000 five per
cent. Dutch bonds as having been sold on the 15th of
March, 1554, was in his handwriting. The number of
the bonds sold corresponded with those deposited by the
rev. gentleman at the bank of Strahan, Paul and Co.

Mr. Francis A. Budd, clerk to Foster and Braith-
waite, produced two cheques paid for Danish stock sold
by the firm, and also proved the sale of the bonds.
Mr. S. Penfold, a clerk in the house of Rothschild's,
stated their house paid the coupons of the 3 per Cent.
Danish Loan. The list of coupons of Strahan and Co.,
paid on the 3d of October, 1853, contained one num-
bered 795, for 71. 10s., and some others. After having
been examined the list was passed on to another clerk,
who pail the amount by a cheque for 1451. 15s. 3d.

Mr. Bodkin said ho did not intend to trouble the
magistrate with any further evidence, and he should
therefore ask the magiArate to commit the whole of the
prisoners for trial.

Mr. Parry, on the part of Mr. Bates, said that there
was not the slightest evidence against Mr. Pates, and
therefore he submitted that he ought to be discharged
from custody.

Mr. J:xtline said, he could not acquiesce in the appli-
cation of Mr. Parry. He should therefore commit the
whole of the prisoeen for trial at the nest sessions of
the Central Criminal Court.

STUPID AFFAIR.—A tradesman in Laurencekirl: has
been foolish enough to attempt the hazardous feat of
sealing a bottle which he had just filled with spirits of
turpentine with wax, in the ordinary way of dropping
the wax on from a flame, when, as a matter of course,
the turpentine ignited, fired the shop, and led to the de-
struction of a good deal of property.
FIRING AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.—Two medical stu-
dents from Aberdeen have been examined before the
Procurator-Fiscal at Stonehaven for firing at the train
on Saturday on the Aberdeen Railway, in the vicinity
of Newtonhill station. They declared that the circum-
stance was purely accidental—that they heard the train
coming up, and they ran to the paling at the embank-
ment to see it, ar.d that, in coming against the paling,
the gun, which was on full cock, went off in their
hands.

THE STEAM-SHIP CITY OF WASHINGTON.—This rnag-
niticent steamship, built and engined by Messrs. Tod
and Macgregor for the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steam
Packet Company, is now about completed, and will go
down the river on Tuesday. She has been chartered by
the French Government to carry troops to the Crimea,
and as soon as her compasses are adjusted she will pro-
ceed direct to Marseilles.—Glasgow Paper.
LICHFIELD TRACTARIAN COLLEGE.—It will be seen
that the requisition to the chief bailiff to call a meeting
of the inhabitants of Hanley and Shelton, to consider the
best means of opposing the renewed attempt to establish
a Tractarian College at Lichfield has been signed by 220
persons, including the churchwardens of all the churches,
many of the:clergy, professional men, and manufacturers,
and a large proportion of the tradesmen. The opposi-
tion appears unanimous and determined. The meeting
is officially convened for Tuesday evening next.—
Staffordshire Sentinel.
TEMPERANCE CONFERENCE.—Yesterday morning the
annual temperance conference was held in St. Martin's-
hall, Long-acre, at which delegates from several of the
provincial towns were present, and many of the members
of the London Temperance League. Mr. G. W. A stie,
n
a solicitor at Devizes, presided. The proceedings had
reference almost solely to the late and present Sunday
Beer Bills, and to the steps to be taken by the confer-
ence.
to counteract the effects of the existing measure, f
not to procure the closing of public-houses the entire
Sunday, and throughout the whole country.
