THE FUNDS

During the course of last week money still continued
scarce, and in demand at high rates of discount, sine.;
which monetary affairs have taken a turn, and money has
become more easy, and can be obtained at lower rates, par-
ticularly at the Bankers and at the Stock Exchange. On
the British Stock, nevertheless, we must not imagine that
all daculties have ceased and the danger is entirely
over. It was the general opinion that the Bank
Directors' operation some few days since would, base
had the effect to improve the Foreign course of Ex-
change, but we' are, sorry to observe that there was no
alteration yesterday in the rates, consequently we must wait
a few days longer to ascertain the event ; at the same time
it has not operated to prevent the further exportation of
bullion, which, according to the official report, has in-
creased to the Continent, as compared with the returns of
last week. Silver in bars • has been exported between the
20th and 26th June, to the amount of 43,090 ounces, and
in coin to the amount of 247,344 ounces. Gold in coin,
during tho same period, to the amount of 11,750 ounces,
end in bars to the amount of 6,570.

By the accounts from Manchester, it appears that the
increase in the rate of interest by the Bank of England,
has not had any serious effect upon the trade of that neigh-
bourhood, and the banks • have experienced but little pres-
sore ; for money and credit continue firm, but little specu-
lative business has been carried on in the neighbourhood
for some time past.
We have very few arrivals this morning—only a French
mail, and ship-letters from the South Seas, Pernambuco,
and Sydney. , _ _

There being no Continental intelligence this morning of
importance, and in general, Saturday not being a busy day
in the Funds, we do not hear to the present time of any

In general, with the exception of the speculators and
monopolizers of cotton, it gives great satisfaction by the in-
formation received this morning from Liverpool, that the
cotton rig will soon die a natural death. The market was
very heavy, and prices lower, and we have no doubt in a
short time cotton will be reduced in price to enable our
manufacturers to contend with those of the Continent, and
the spinners in the various manufacturing districts will be
enabled again to work full time.
The dulness of the weather has added to the inactive
state of commercial affairs,

Some anxiety prevails with the merchants and those who
deal with the United States to ascertain what effect it will
have when they hear of our Bank Directors' late opera-
tion in raising the discounts to 51 per cent.

Yesterday, at Alarlborough-street Police-office, the
coachman of Mr. Story, of Bryanston-square, was fined
20s. and costs. for refusing to move on when directed,
and for assaulting the police. The Magistrate, Mr.
Dyer, in giving his decision, expressed his entire ap-
prebation of the police regulations for keeping order at
public places of resort. Mr. White, of Queen-square,
some time ago gave an opinion directly opposed to this,
and held out an encouragement to these big coachmen
to commit an act for which Mr. Dyer fines them. Be.
tween the administrators of the law, and those gentle-
men who take the law into their own hands, the police-
men have no agreeable task. What the law may be, we
do not take upon ourselves to decide, when these high
authorities differ, but common sense points out that
these, or similar regulations, are necessary to prevent
cadless confusion.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.
The trial of the prisoners charged with the above
offence was this morning- resumed, at ten o'clock, before
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE. The case for the prosecution
having closed last night,
Mr. Sergeant Bomras, at the opening of the Court,
took an objection to the indictment, as against Moses, on
the ground that it stated a certain evil.clisposed person had
stolen the goods, and charged Emanuel Moses as an ac-
cessory ; now, as the evil-disposed person was known, and
had not been brcught to trial or convicted, he contended
that in point of law it was impossible to convict any person
as an accessary, as there were no charges of a substantial

i -. CHAMBERS followed on the same side, and contended
the indictment was also bad, for uncertainty, as not naming
the evil-disposed person.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE slid there was another indict-
ment in which the evil-disposed person was named.
Mr. CHAMBERS said that the present indictment must be
bad, because if tried on the second indictment, the prisoner
could not make out a plea of autrefois acquit or autrefois
convict.

Mr. ADOLPHUS, for Alice Abrahams, contended that she
stood in regard to this indictment in precisely the same ti-
tuation as Emanuel Moses.
Mr. PRF.NDERGAST followed on the same side.

Mr, C. PHILLIPS, for the Caspars, objected first, that
ELis Caspar was charged on this indictment with two
felonies, and that he ought not to be called upon to answer
for two offences at the same time; and oa behalf of both
Caspsrs he contended that, being accused as accessories,
the principals ought to be named in the indictment. With
respect to Lewin Caspar, there was a most important ob-
jecdon, which, if it held good, would vitiate their pro-
ceedings altogether, he contended, according to the evi-
dence given, that if Lewin Caspar ought to be indicted at
al', he ought to be indicted as a priacipal ; and that if so,
the principal being revealed, the indictment with regard to
all the other prisoners must fall to the ground.
Mr. C. JONES on the same side submitted that iu crder
to support this indictment, it was necessary to prove a
pr'ncipal felony—but he contended that there was no such
felony proved—as it had not been proved that Moses went
to the wharf with the intention of committing a felony.
Mr. CLARKSON replied to the objections. In the first
place, with regard to the objections of Mr. Phillips and
Mr. C. Jones, lie was free to admit that if, when all the
circumstances should be laid before the Jury, they should
be of opinion that Moss was an innocent agent, then Lewin
Caspar was the principal ; but if his Lordship could not
know that the Jury would say Moss was an innocent agent,
then the case must go to the Jury. That was a ques-
th n entirely for the Jury to decide, and if Moss was not
an innocent agent, thee Lewin Caspar was properly in-
dicted. With regard to Ellis Caspar, he was charged with
being an accessory before the fact, and also after the fact.
Now he contended that these were not two distinct felo-
nies, but a carrying out of the same crime. With regard
to the objection of the Learned Sergant to the indictment,
it was framed in that manner because it was impos-
sible to know how a Jury would decide with regard to
Moss. He contended, in opposition to Mr. Chambers,
that a parson showing he had been accused of receiv-
ing goods, for receiving which goods he had formerly been
tried could plead autrefois acquit or autrefois convict.
With regard to the objections of the Sergeant as they were
on the record, he thought they might as well have been
raised at the commencement of the five days as at the con-
clusion. He contended that there was in the indictment
a charge for a substantive felony, and that in such an in-
dictment it was not at all necessary that the name of the
person stealing the property should be mentioned, and that
it would have been good had it been merely alleged that
certain property had been stolen, without stating by whom.
He trusted his Lordship would permit these objections to
have the highest consideration, and suffer his own excel-
lent and superior judgment to be assisted by that of the
other Judges.
Mr. BODKIN followed on the same side, and contended
that Mr. Sergeant Bompas was too late with his objection;
he ought to have declined the trial, and not have permitted
his client to be given in charge to the Jury, because all
these objections appeared , upon the record. He under-
stood a substantive felony meant that you might indict an
accessory before the conviction of the principal, and with-
out including him in the indictment; bet this term sub-
stantive felony was new to the law, and had never yet been
defined by the Judges.
Mr. DOANE followed on the same side; and the trial
was proceeding when we went to Press.
