CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

The Great Britain, with £450,000, may now be
considered fully due, according to the usual average
of her passages. As the demend for gold to buy
silver on the Continent has slackened, it is possible
that if she were to arrive immediately a portion of
her amount might be taken to the Bank. Last week
the exportation of cotton to the Continent amounted
to 18,000 bales, valued at about £500,000, and these
shipments must have considerable influence in coun-
teracting any adverse tendency of the exchanges.
Giddings for 1207,000 bills on India (X 140,000
on Calcutta, £52,000 on Bombay, and £15,000 on
Madras) were received to-day at the Bank of Eng-
land. The declared minimum prices were is. lltd.
per rupee on Calcutta, and 2s. on Bombay and Mad-
ras, and the applications within the limits were for
about £860,000. Tenders on Calcutta at 2s. 0141.
will receive about 88 per cent., and those above that
price will receive in full. Tenders on Bombay at
28. Odd. will receive about 43 pee cent., and those
above tht.t price in full; and tenders on Madras at
2s. Old. will receive in full.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK.

Owing to the recent effiux of gold from the
Bank of England, the large shipments of silver to
the East, and the augmented demand for accommo-
dation among the leading community, the prospect
of an advance in the minimum rate of discount has
recently attracted attention. The weekly meeting
of the Bank directors to-day was awaited with
some anxiety, because it was imagined that altera-
tions might have taken place in the stock of bul-
lion and the other securities sufficiently important
to induce the Court to make an advance, but after
a brief deliberation they separated without announ-
cing any change, The Gazette return to appear
this evening is, nevertheless, expected to show ad-
verse movements, and unless the exports of gold
and silver should diminish there is every reason to
believe that the market will shortly exhibit greater
firmness than for some time past.
Commercial intelligence from New York states
that continued easiness was experienced in the
Money Market. Gold was advancing in value, and
the exchanges were also rather higher. Stocks and
shares were dull but steady.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :

These returns are in several instances of an un-
satisfactory character. On the Midland there is
an increase of £1,081; on the Great Eastern of
£258 ; and on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £537.
The Great Western shows an increase of £523;

The Great Britain has arrived off Kinsale from
Victoria with 100,721 ounces of gold, and 50,000
sovereigns.

The Ripon, with the remaining portion of the
Indian, China, and Australian mails, has arrived at
Southampton. The letters are expected to be
delivered this afternoon.

An advance oft- per cent. has taken place in the
value of the Consols, the present quotations being
93131- for transfer, and 92fr 41 less the dividend, for
the account. The New Threes and Reduced An-
nuities have remained at 91i 92. Indian Stocks
have been at little better than nominal quotations,
the only bargain recorded being in the 5 per Cent.
Stock at 109 i.
The upward tendency recently noticed in the
Money Market has led to a decline in the value of
Exchequer Bills, which are now very heavy at Bs.
to 12s. prem. for both denominations, whereas a
month ago the June issue were 20s, to 235. prem.,
and the March 18s. to 21s.

In the Railway Share Market business continued
rather inactive, and in several instances prices ex-

THE BANK PAPER ROBBERY.

MANSION HOUSE- THIS DAY.

This day, George Buncher, Robert Cumming, William
Barrett, Robert Brewer, James Griffiths, and Henry IVil-
liams were again placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt,
charged with being concerned in the late extensive robbery
of hank note paper from the mills of _Messrs. Portal, at
Laversteke, Hampshire.
Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank of England,
appeared for the prosecution, Buncher being defended by
Mr. Pater, and Brewer by Mr. Lewis.
Tho first witness called was Mrs. Ellen Burnett, who
said-1 have been residing with the prisoner Burnett for
some time as his wife. My name is Ellen Mills. I decline
to state where I at present reside.
Mr. Lewis objected to the woman giving her evidence if
she persisted in refusing her address.
The Lord Mayor said she had better answer the ques-
tion.

Witness replied—Very well, my lord. lam at present
staying at 16, Bridgewater-square, Barbican. I was ap-
prehended with Burnett on the 28th of October last. I have
known him 10 years. I have been convicted with him for
receiving stolen goods. We were both sentenced to four
years penal servil udo. We came out of prison on the same
day, the 23d of February, 1861. I went to live with him
again, and we lived together till he was apprehended. We
first went to reside at Whitchurch, in Hampshire, on 26th
of February, 1861. We lived at Mr. Brown's beer shop.
We lived there six months. I first became acquainted
with Henry Brown in March, 1861. I have a sister rebid-
ing, at Whitchurch. Her name is Collis. She lives at the
Three Horseshoes at Whitchurch. It was there 1 first
saw Brown. After our first meeting we saw each other
very frequently. Burnett told me to ask Brown whether
he could get some paper from the mills.
Mr. Lewis objected to the further examination of the
witness as she had been dismissed, from her position at the
bar because she was supposed to be under Burnett's influ-
ence, as she was looked upon in the first instance as the
prisoner's wife.

The Lord Mayor thought the examination ought to go on.
Witness proceeded—ln consequence of my request Brown
brought me a small quantity of B note paper. I saw it was
" plain" paper, by that I mean there was no marks upon it.
Mr. Lewis—When did you look at the paper ?
Witness—The next day.
Mr. Lewis—l contend that the identity of that paper has
been destroyed, as it might have been changed in the
interval.

The Lord Mayor thought the evidence ought to go on.
Witness---I gave the paper in the first instance to Bur-
nett, and I saw it again the following morning. Burnett
did not say anything to me about it at the time. After we
got the paper Burnett and I went to London. We stayed
at 7, Melton-crescent, Euston-square. We lived there
eight or nine days. Burnett used to go out alone after we
got there. He did so the day after we arrived. He did not
tell me what he west for. He had money in his possession
when he came back. After we left Melton-crescent we re-
turned to Whitchurch, and put up at the Plough. I went
frequently to the Three Horse-shoes, where I met Henry
Brown. While I was there Burnett and Brown often met
and conversed together, but I don't know what passed be-
tween them. Shortly after our return to Whitchurch
Burnett, told me had received something from Brown. He
said he had brought him some paper, from which I under-
stood it was Bank-note paper. After that Brown went with
Burnett and myself to London, where we went to a
public-house in Drury-lane, kept by Mr. Lees. He
did not go out till the day after our arrival,
when we went to a public-house at the corner of Chandos-
street. When we went out Burnett took the bank-note
paper with him. On our return home Burnett gave Brown
two sovereigns. We remained in London on that occasion
two nights and one day, and then returned to Whitchurch.
On our return Burnett and Brown were frequently to-
gether. On several occasions Burnett told me he had re-
ceived bank paper from Brovvn. Burnett did not tell me
where paper from, but 1 heard Brown
tell Burn Brown
twtnhad been caught taking the paper.
rethgaott
h thee p
I did not hear Brown say who it was that caught him. I
heard frequent conversations between Burnett and Brown
about the paper. Brown asked Burnett who he was giving
the paper to, whether it was to Fred Lancaster, because
Mr. Brewer wished to know if it was so. Burnett told him
it was not. After the conversation Brown brought more
paper, which Burnett put with the rest in our clothes box.
I recollect the day of the fire in Tooley-street. Burnett and
I came to London on that day, whence:we went to Strat-
ford, and stopped at Burnett's brothers, the Railway Hotel.
While we were there Brown came; and I then obtained
lodgings for ourselves and him. We stopped at Stamford
six weeks, during which time Burnett went to Loudon. I
did not go with him. I know he took some of the Bank
paper with him. He had money when he returned. I
don't know whether he had any when he went
away. On leaving Stamford we returned to White-
hurst. Brown did not go with us. Brown stayed
in London because he said he was going to his sisters'.
I knew from Burnett that Brown afterwards returned to
Whitchurch. I saw him on the day he came down. I
recollect just after Christmas, 1861, Brown came to our
lodgings, which was then in Long's-court, Leicester-
square. He came about seven o'clock in the evening.
Burnett was not at home. In consequence of what Brown
told me I went to the Victoria Theatre, where I saw
Burnett. I told him Henry Brown wanted to see him, as he
had brought some more pnper. We then returned home,
when I saw Brown give Burnett the paper, and they exa-
mined together. Brown stayed that night with us, the
paper being put with the other in the clothes-box. Bur-
nett went out the next day with the paper that Brown
brought. On his return'ng he gave Brown some money,
but I don't know how much. Brown stayed with us a day
and two nights, when he left, telling me he was going to
Portsmouth.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was only
moderate, both as to number and quality. Selected breeds
sold steadily at full prices; otherwise, the beef trade'was
in a sluggish state on former terms. Prime sheep com-
manded extreme currencies, but inferior breeds met a slow
sale at late rates. The top price was 5s 8d per 81bs. The
supply was by no means extensive. We were heavily
supplied with calves, which changed hands slowly at a de-
cline in the quotations of 8d per Sibs. Inferior calves sold
as low as 3s 2d per 81bs. Pigs moved cff steadily at full
prices, but mulch cows were very dull.
