BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Martin Smith Metcalf, publisher of the Morning Chronicle, was
brought up for re-examination, charged with embezzling various
sums of money, the property of his employers. Mr. Easthope, ➢I.P.,
was in attendance.

Mr. Amin URST, the Solicitor for the prosecutors said the prisoner
was charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging to
his employer, and since the charge was preferred against him en Sa-
turday last, it appeared, upon looking over the books, that several
small sums were unaccounted for; he, therefore, as the embezzle.
ment was of a considerable amount, requested, with the approbation
of the prisoner, that he be remanded for a fortnight.
Mr. Mibrstinta. (to the prisoner)—You hear what has been said ;
have you any objection to make ?

The prisoner (faintly)—l have no objection to such an arrangement
He was then removed from the bar.

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)

MOINE AM.) COmmEttUIAL vv

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Arrivals this morning—French and Lisbon Mails, the
latter by the Iberia which sailed on the 28th of Jan., from
Gibraltar, 24th of Jan., from Cadiz, 25th Jan. Oporto,
30th Jan., Vigo. Also a mail from Brazils, by the Lap-
wing, which sailed from Rio Dec. 16th, Bahia 14th Nov.,
Pernambuco Nov. Bth. No ship letters.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TVERDAY.—The demand
for Cotton to-day has been to a moderate extent, the sales
3,500 bags, without alteration in prices, 1,500 on speculation.
We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 24th of
January ; as usual, the news from the theatre of war in
Spain anticipated by the French Papers.
We have received the Buenos Ayres papers of the
25th November.

Financial matters at present occupy a considerable por-
tion of the public attention; the Committee of Finance pre-
sented a project upon the subject to the House of Represen-
tatives, and Seniors Mannella, Lahitti, and Garrigas
also presented each a project to the Committee of Fi-
nance, all of which were published in the Gaceta Mer
cantile of the 17th inst. On that day the Government
forwarded a note to the House in tenour, that the projects in
question, so far from meeting the present difficulties,
would augment them, and therefore requested that the
House would suspend all discussion upon the subject,
until the Government should present a project of their own,
which perhaps might conciliate all opinions, and meet with
the approbation of the Representatives; but should the
House of R-presentatives not think proper to agree to the
proposed suspension, the Minister of Finance had orders
to attend the discussion to which he had been cited.
The House agreed to the solicitation of the Government,
and things thus remained. It again assembled yesterday,
to take into consideration a note from the Executive upon
another subject.
ORIENTAL STATE.—We have received she Monte Video
Journal of the 17th inst., and perused several others which
have sprung up in that capital since the new order of
things. " Amongst the decrees issued by the new Govern-
ment, one proscribes the Ex- President Oribe, depriving
him of his grades and citizenship, and forbidding him to set
foot on the Oriental territory. The same applies to those
who followed him to Buenos Ayres, unless they return
within forty days. There is also a decree of amnesty for
political opinions, and one establishing the liberty of the
press.

Extract of a Letter from Monte Video of the 16th inst. :
" Are yon aware that at the Theatre hero on the evening
of the 4th inst, the box opposite to that of the Government,
in which sat President Rivera, was occupied by French
officers, and that the said box was ornament, d with the
tri-colour of France. This was a bad taste. Rivera's flo-
tilla, consisting of several vessels, in junction with a num-
ber of French craft, great and small, will assist the French
Admiral. Lablanc has purchased the schooner Relampayn,
and is about to arm her; and it is stated he is in treaty
for tao others. There are now 150 foreign merchant ves-
sclsin the port of Monte Video, and 50 coasters."

Extract of a letter at the North and South American
Coffee-house, from Rio Janeiro, Dec. 15 :—.

" In addition to the foregoing, I have principally to in-
form you that our Stock Nlarket is exceedingly flat, and I
believe that if 75 were offered for 100 Bonds, it would be
gladly accepted. It is now generally believed that the new
credit of 3,780 centos, will not be issued in London, but
here."

(From the Rio Janeiro Price Current of the 14th Dec.)
STOCKS.-The transactions since our last have been
very considerable, the greater part at 76, and for small
amounts 77, which is one and two per cent. lower than
our last quotations; during the present week the Market
has been rather heavy, however there appears to be no in -
clination to sell under the present prices. The Treasury
have taken but a small amount to discount this month, and
owing to higher rates being obtained on private bills, money
has not conic forward freely at the reduced rates, at 7i to
8 per cent. Specie has been in great demand, chiefly for
the River Plate, and prices of dollars, ounces and silver.
have risen considerably in consequence, being now for all
descriptions of specie much above the par of Exchange.
P. S.—Saturday no alteration in the exchange. Some
business has been done both at 28idol. and 29d01., but chiefly
at the former rate. Coffee sales to-day 3,000 bap, at a
reduction of 50 reels.

The intelligence by the Lisbon mail is not of much im-
portance. Things remain much in the same situation as
by the previoui accounts. It was reported at Lisbon that
the young Remichedo died from the wounds he had received
three or four weeks ago.

The Lapwing, froin Rio, has brought a small freight of
3.000/. Our Minister, Mr. Mandeville, at the request of
Rozes, offered to act on the part of the British Government
to settle the question, by its being submitted to the arbi-
tration of Great Britain, and M. Rogers said he would not
consent to it without the sanction of the French Govern-
ment.

TUB FUNDS.

We have arrivals this morning of Brazil and Buenos

Ayres mails, as well as a mail from Luben ; by the former
there is no political news:of consequence. but the the funds
come lower. The blockade by the French squadron of
Buones Ayres still continues with vigour. At Lisbon all
was tranquil, and the state of affairs remained much the
same as by the previous intelligence from that country.
The Queen's Speech to the present hour has not bad
any effect on the Funds. Consols opened at the closing
prices of yesterday, 924 I both for money and time. Ex-

in doubt will either confirm or contradict the report.

cember 14:--

We regret to announce that the measures taken
by the authorities of Villa Franca, have not been so effi•
cient as we expected. Captain Anselmo Ferreira has
taken a second time the town, and declared he would
maintain it until he received counter orders from the central
overnment. His troops are getting stronger daily ; the crimi-
nals:in the environs join his banners; lately he issued a pro-
clamation toihis men, declaring he had assassinated the Jus-
tice of Peace, Pambo, which he executed with great cruelty,
and will soon act the same with the Judge of the Law.
President, and Secretary of the Chamber. Must of the
families are leaving the town; the greatest consternation
prevails in that district."

NEWCASTLE MURDER.—We tdnderstand that
her Majesty's Judges of Assize have sent fur the depositions in this
case, and they have been dispatched. A rumour has been going the
round of the London papers that the trial was to be removed to York,
but we know that this is not true, and we believe there is as little
truth in the report that it is to be removed t• the County Courts of
Northumberland. We are, however, of opinion that the removal of
the trial at all would be injudicious, and the very opposite of benefi-
cial to the accused party, though at the same time we believe there
are few of the inhabitants of this town liable to serve as jurymen who
weu►d not be exceedingly glad if the onerous responsibility of the
case was deputed to other parties. We have seen the model of the
Savings' Bank premises, which is very complete, and must be of the
utmost service to those whose lot it will be to sit in judgment
upon this most barbarous murder. Mary Walker, Bolam's house
keeper, will be brought up for examination on Thursday next, when
it is fully expected that she will be committed to take her trial as
an accessory to the fact —Tyne Mercury of yesterday.
Suddenly, on the Ist inst., at the Vicarage, Hickling, near
Norwich, Gertrude, the infant daughter of the Rev. Henry
