THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. T tIELVE O'CLOCK.
We have very few arrivals this morning, and most of
them of old dates ; consequently there is a great dearth of
information.

In the course of yesterday there was rather a•demand for
Money in the British Market ; but towards the end of the
Market, Consols left off firm at 9.4 for the Account, and 91i
for Money ; Exchequer Bills 43 prem. ; India Bonds 5O
prem.

Consols opened this morning at 91i 92 for Account.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active improved in the

20 to with Coupons ; Portuguese closed at 39i; opened
same ; Three per Cents. 26 ; Mexican closed 29 ; opened

In commercial affairs a considerable degree of animation
prevails. The demand for home and export consumption
for Wools is brisk, at an improvement in the prices. There
is a rise in Indigo, Silks, and other articles.
Accounts from Florence state that serious troubles have
taken place at Rome, and that the Pope has been obliged
to leave that city, and has arrived at Florence.

July, stating the insurrection of one of the regiments of
Quillota, and the shooting of the Minister Portalis, of the
republic of Chili.
According to news from Peru, General Santa Cruz ar-
rived at Callao on the 10th of May from Bolivia ; at the

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice VAUGEIAN and Mr. Justice PATruoN.)

SENDING THREATENING LETTERS,

Edwin Bates, a respectable young man is hppearance,
and by profesion an artist, was placed fit the bar, charged
with having sent threatening letters on the 26th and 29th
of June to Mr. Bagshawe, the Chairman of the Northern
and Eastern Railway Company,
Mr. RYLAND, who appearott as Counsel for the prisoner,
said, that although when arraigned in the morning he had
pleaded not guilty, he was now desirous, by the leave of the
Court, to retract that plea.
Mr. Justice VAUGHAN said he would most willingly
allow the prisuuer to retract his Plea-
Tho prisoner, upon being asked whether ho was desirous
of pleading guilty, said that he was so, kIA he never intended
to deny sending the let tern,
Mr. BODKIN, on the part of the prosecution, was desirous
of explaining to the Court the cause which had led to the
present proceedings. The prisoner like many other indi-
viduals, had been induced to speculate in railway shares.
and among the rest in that of the Northern and Eastern
Railway Company, of which the prosecutor, Mr. Bagshawe,
happened to be the Chairman. Mr. Bagshawe had no
knowledge whatever of the prisoner. The purchases he
had made were small, but from the tenor of the letter it
appeared that they had been unprofitable, as the prisoner
demanded the return of the money he had lost,
and threatening Mr. Bagshawe's life if he did not receive it.
In ardor to show that.the present charge was not a slight
one, a pistol had been found in the prisoner's possession
loaded to the muzzle, and it would also have been proved,
if the prisoner had persevered in his plea of Not Guilty,
that he had been in the habit of practising the firing of a
pistol loaded with a ballot at a mark for several days. On
obtaining this information the prosecutor and the Directors
felt that they had no alternative but to institute the pre-
sent proceeding ; their sole object was to ensure their own
personal protection, and beyond that they had no feeling
against the prisoner, whom they recommended to the merci-
ful consideration of the Court, In his present excited situ-
ation it might not be advisable to restore him to society ;
but when that excitement had passed, he trusted that the
learned Judges would adopt a course consistent with justice
which would restore him to his friends.

Mr. RYLAND, on behalf of the prisoner, felt most grate-
ful for the kind recommendation of the prosecutor. He ad-
mitted that in the present excited state of the prisoner, it
would not be advisable to set him at large ; but he trusted
when that excitement was over he would meet with the
merciful consideration of the Court.

Mr. Bagshawe (who sat on the Bench) begged to say, on
behalf of himself and the Directors of the Company, that
they instituted the present prosecution for the purpose only
of protecting their lives. They begged most heartily to
recommend the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the
Court, assuring it that any mercy extended to the prisoner
would be gratefully felt by them.
Mr. Justice VAucHAN said that the merciful recommen-
dation of Mr. Bagshawe was highly creditable to him and
the Directors. Ile would read the letters which had been
handed to him ; after which he would determine what
should_ be done with the prisoner..—The prisoner was then
removed from the bar.

CUTTING AND MAIMING.—James Grace, aged 23,
a cabinet-maker, was indicted with feloniously and mali-
ciously wounding James Brown, on the 3d of August, with
intent to disable him, &c.

James Brown stated that he had known the prisoner at
the bar for fourteen years. On the 3d of August, he saw
him at a skittle-ground at the back of Shoreditch
Church. They quarrelled there about half-a-crown,
which e:lde.l in the'r having a regular set-to. Witness had
the best of it. After they had done fighting, they went
into the public-house and had some beer. Some words
took place, but be could not tell what. Witness came
now from Clerkenwell Prison, and had been in prison once
before. After the prisoner and witness had drank their
beer, the latter'went to the water-closet. Oa coming out
the prisoner attempted to stab him with a pocket-knife.
Witness called out murder and run back into the water-
closet, and was rescued from the prisoner by the
persons in the house. Witness then went to Sweet Apple-
court, where the prisoner followed him and stabbed him.
Witness ran on, the prisoner following him, but did not
catch him, i❑ consequence of falling down. Witness was
taken to the hospital, from which he ran away after he had
been there three weeks. Witness considered himself to
blame, as he had kicked and thrashed both the prisoner and
his wife three days before he was stubbed.
Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—Was not aware
the prisoner was ruptured in consequence of the kick he
had received.

A labouring man stated that he saw the prisoner running
after the prosecutor in Sweet Apple-court, with an open
bread and chces. knife in his hand, with which he stabbed
Brown, upon overtaking him, in the lower part of his back.
Brown then ran away again, and the prisoner having fallen
down, the former escaped him. Witness had heard Grace,
the prisoner, say he would do for the prosecutor, if he
died for it.

Several other witnesses were examined, who corroborated
the statement made by the prosecutor, one of them adding
that they saw the wife of the prosecutor strike the prisoner
over the bead with a pint pot for having beat her husband.
A surgeon of St. BArtholomew's Hospital said that the
wounds of the prosecutor were not at all dangerous when
propetly attended to, although they might have been so
without good surgical treatment.

Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner. _

Mr. Justice VAUGHAN summed up, and
The Jury, after a consultation of upwards of a quarter
of an hour, acquitted the prisoner.

NEW COURT.

SENTENCE ON DAW6ON, THE SITUATION PURVEYOR.—
Hen y William Dawson, who was convicted at the last
sessions of obtaining money from several persons, under
pretence of obtaining situations for the:u, was this morning
brought up to receive the judgment of the Court.
The COMMON- SERGIANT, before wlsnin the case had
been tried, said the prisoner had been convicted of a very
serious offence, but ►n consequence of a point reserved,
judgment had been deferred to the present session, for the
purpose cf obtaining the opinion of her Majest3's Judges.
They had decided against the prisoner, and had also fixed
the sentence which the Court was about to pass, and which
it thought a very mild one. The sentence was, that the
prisoner be kept to hard labour in the liouse of Correc-
tion for eighteen calendar months—three months of that
period to be passed in solitary confinement, and he might
think himself very fortunate that lie was not transported.
Edward 11/Whams, a respectable looking, and rather
fashionably dressed young man, was then placed at the bar
to receive judgment. The prisoner had pleaded guilty to
forging a check for 501., with intent to defraud Messrs.
Wright and Co., the bankers. The Court had no discre-
tion as to the sentence, which was--That he be transported
beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. At the
same time the Court was glad to say that, in consequence
of an earnest recomme►►dation of the prosecutor, there was
no doubt that her Majesty would commute the sentence,
but to what extent it was not for the Court to anticipate.
The prisoner then bowed respectfully and retired.
