ONEY MARKET

AND
COMAIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Less anxiety is evinced this morning in discount
circles respecting the course the directors of the
13ank of England may pursue at their weekly court
to-morrow. The demand for accommodation has
certainly fallen off within the past three days, but
the supply of floating capital is at the same time
being daily decreased. During the present un-
settled state of affairs investors appear desirous to
hold their capital in hand, and thus are the means
at the command of discounters much straitened.
The market is nevertheless in a much easier state,
and the best three months' bills have been again
negotiated at 3i percent.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
there was a slight advance in the rates on Amster •
dam and Hamburg.
The Glasgow, from New York, has brought
£ll,OOO, and the Wellesley, from Melbourne,
£203,160.

rrangements are stated to be in progress for the
amalgamation of the London and Middlesex Bank
with another old-established joint stock bank.

Two O'CLOCK.

A meeting of the Peruvian Dollar Bondholders
took place to-day to determine what steps should
be taken to obtain payment of the bonds and coupons
in hard dollars (pesos fuertes) instead of the depre-
ciated American paper now illegally tendered. Mr.
Haslewood occupied the chair, and stated that
Messrs. Baring Brothers, with 44 other large city
firms, had formally petitioned the Government of
Peru upon the subject, protesting against the pay-
ments in " greenbacks" instead of hard dollars,
but no reply had been received save the acknow-
ledgment of the re3eipt of the communication.
Each dollar was worth 4s. 2d., instead of which it
was depreciated to 2s. 4d. A committee was

appointed to watch the interests of the bondholders,
and resolutions adopted declining to receive as pay-
ment for bonds and coupons the United States
paper money, tendered by the Peruvian Govern-
ment, and that such payment shall be made in
specie or its equivalent.
At Paris, this day, according t o Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
67f 15c. Heavy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

WATCH ROBBERY.—Three men named Farrell, Okes,
and Walburn, were placed at the bar charged with stealing
a watch.

Mr. Pagani said he was a clerk residing in Camden road.
Two or three days ago was going to his office in Thread-
needle-street when he felt himself hustled by a number of
young men, and in a few moments after he saw his watchin
the hand of Okes. He took hold of him and charged him
with the robbery, when he immediately passed the watch to
one of the other prisoners who ran away. Okes was held
until a police constable arrived, and the next time he saw
the other prisoners when they were in custody in the sta-
tion house. He had not recovered his watch.
A young man who was near the spot said he saw the other
two men ran away with the prosecutor's watch. He fol-
lowed Farrell, and charged him with having got the stolen
property, which he denied, but he instantly handed the
watch to Walburn, who walked off very quickly. He con-
tinued to follow the man till he saw a police-constable,
whom he told of the occurrence, and he was taken into cus-
tody.
Two police constables proved the capture of Farrell and
Walburn, both of whom, on being confronted with Okes,
denied all knowledge of both him and the robbery.
On being asked what they had to say in answer to the
charge,
Okes said he took the watch, and the other men knew
nothing about the robbery.
The police-constables both said, before the robbery was
committed, all three prisoners were seen walking and talk-
ing together.

The Lord Mayor committed all three prisoners for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-ST.REET.

THE OUTCASTS IN THE PARKS. TWO WOMEN
CHARGED WITH SLEEPING IN THE OPEN Alit IN HYDE-
FARK.—Two females of most deplorable appearance, named
Florence D'Esterre and Margaret Chick, were charged be-
fore Mr. Knox with sleeping in the open air in Hyde-park.
The women are two of a number of poor creatures who
nightly sleep in Hyde-park, many of them being in a most
loathsome condition.

Newman, a constable of the A division, said that while
on duty last night in Hyde-park he saw the two women
lying under a tree asleep, and be then took them into
custody, having on former occasions Wined them out of a
shed belonging to the Royal Humane Society,
Mr, Knox asked whether the practice was as bad as
ever ?

Sergeant Wm. Savage, 5 A, said it was not quite so bad.
He had known the women for five or six months past as
frequenting the parks, and saw them last night lying under
a tree. On asking one of them why she did not go to the
union she became very insolent.

Mr. Knox committed the women for a month each.
Many of the females sleeping in the shed above alluded
to—though unfortunates—are not above a 5 years of age.
UTTERING A FILLSE CHEQUE.—John Hetherington, a
tall, well-dressed man, of 2, Stamford-villas, Page-green,
Tottenham, was charged before Mr. Knox, with uttering a
false cheque to Mr. George Barker, livery stable-keeper, of
4, Portland-mews, with intent to defraud him of the sum
of i 9 15s.

Mr. Barker said that on Monday last, the prisoner, in
payment of a sum of £9 15s. which he owed him, handed
him a cheque on Sir Samuel Scott's Bank, Cavendish-
square, for the sum of £2B, stating that he would call for
the balance the next day. On presenting the cheque the
clerk handed it to him back with an endorsement on it.

Inspector Bowler, A division, said the prisoner told him
he received the cheque in payment of a horse he had sold
to a gentleman, the horse having stood in Mr. Barker's
stable for weeks. He said the reason why he did not call
for the change was because be was engaged at Clapham.

Mr. Knox said it was a strange charge of fraud, as the
prisoner had not defrauded the prosecutor of one penny, as
the debt owing to prosecutor still remained, and the pro-
secutor had time to go to the bank, so :that he had an
opportunity of seeing whether the cheque was genuine.
The prisoner was allowed to go on entering into his own
recognisance, he promising that he would try and find out
the gentleman he received the cheque from.
