WESTMINSTER.

A WORTHLESS APPRENTICE. —Charles Unsworth, 17,
apprentice, was charged with stealing five pieces of marble
value ss, the property of Mr. Thomas Henry Hartley, his
master, 1, Earl-street, Wvstminster.
_ _

Mr.. Hartley said ho had for some time past had his sus-
picions of the prisoner robbing him of trifling articles, and
his general bad conduct induced him to watch him. On
Saturday last, in company with prisoner and his foreman
he went to his lodgings and there saw a box. He asked
Prisoner if it was his, and on his replying in the affirmative
it was opened, and among other things found to contain
the marble in question made into an obelisk ; the marble
Was very choice and costly, and was worth 55.,
but made up into the obelisk the value was
about one pound. Prisoner said, " I took it be-
cause you stopped my pocket money." Witness did
not give him into custody, because some of the workmen
or boys must have helped prisoner to polish it, and he had
endeavoured to detect his assistants, but failed.
In reply to the Magistrate—Mr. Hartley said he las an
apprentice from the City Union, and was a very bad boy ;
the terror to the foreman, and the worst boy he had had
in his employ for years.
_ _

. .
Mr. Arnold said he was disposed to treat this charge as
disobedience of apprentice, and asked Mr. Hartley if he
Would have the indenture cancelled.

Mr. Hartley said he should prefer such a course, and
prisoner was remanded for a week that the City Union
Might be communicated with.

MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England directors have not made
any alteration in the rate of discount, which con-
tinues at 7 per cent. The demand is not very
active, but the quotations out of doors are firm, in
Consequence of the small supply of capital at the
command of brokers and others. Exceptional ope-
rations, however, take place at 6i per cent., thus
indicating the easier tendency of affairs.
The new Austrian loan for £10,000,000 is not, as
Was originally supposed, to be brought forward in
this market. It is to be introduced at Paris and
Frankfort by the Comptoir d'Escompte and the
*Vienna Credit Foncier.

Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co. have announced
the half-yearly interest on the Cienfuegos and
Villa Clara (Cuba) Railroad 7 per Cent. Bonds.

It is stated that the conversion of the internal
debt of the Ottoman empire had reached nearly
.21,000,000 sterling yesterday evening.
The General Credit and Finance Company of
London have received a communication from the
Imperial Ottoman Government, of which the fol-
lowing is a translation :
coxvEnsioN AND UNIFICATION OF THE INTERNAL DEBTS OF

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
(Official Notice.)
The Imperial Government taking into consideration the
circumstances which have impeded the progress of the
conversion, principally the cholera, which has scourged
Constantinople, and the unforeseen delay in the fabri-
cation of the General Debt, has determined not to en-
forc,e the reduction of 10 per cent. which was applicable
virtue of the terms of the Article 11 of the Law of the
19th (31st) March, 1865, to the securities presented for
conversion after the period of three months, and during
the second period of one month and a half, determined by
said article.

In consequence the securities of the internal debt will
continue to be received for conversion without reduction
P to the 19th (31st) December, 1865, on the same terms,
111 the same form, and at the same places as before.
At the expiration of this last period the operations of the
conversion will be closed irrevocably.
Five days after the definitive closing the coupons for in-
terest due on the non-converted securities will be paid at
Constantinople, and the bearers will be entitled to interest
(Al those coupons from their due date to the day of pay-
kola at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
