MONEY AND CITY NEWS.

(Pito3l THE MOHNINIS PAPERS OP THIS DAT.)

HERALD.—The address of the King of the French,
upon the opening of the Chambers, though considered to
be a matter of some interest, has not produced that excite-
ment here, nor has it even acquired that importance
which many anticipated. A great portion of it has been
recognised as being highly tinctured with that guarded
policy for which Louis Philippe has always been distin-
guished. That portion of his Speech relating to the civil
war in Spain has been considered to be very equivocal, and
had the effect of rather damping the market for Spanish
Bonds, which another circumstance, to which we shall re-
fer, may have also somewhat contributed. That part of
this inaugural address of the King of the French which re-
fers to the disputes between Belgium and Holland has by
some been considered very favourable,,and has caused the
Dutch Funds to improve ; whilst the importance of the
whole Speech in the public opinion of the City may be mea-
sured by the fact, that it has not had the slightest influence
upon the British Funds.

A deputation of the holders of Spanish Bondi had an in-
terview with Lord Melbourne to-day, with the object of
pressing upon his Lordship's notice the importance of sup-
pressing the civil war in Spain, and securing the interests
of the public creditors of that country. The reply of his
Lordship was rather vague, inasmuch as little more was
said than that the Government had not lost sight of the im-
portance of the question mooted. Therefore, as we have
before stated, the distant prospect that the creditors of
Spain have of their claims being settled has again tended to
depreciate the market value of those precious securities.
An erroneous opinion has obtained amongst some par-
ties that money has become rather scarce ; with a view
to remove an incorrect impression we have made inqui-
ries which sufficiently established the truth of our late
st itements upon that subject. We also understand that,
although the Bank of England has not been called upon to
make heavy advances upon Exchequer Bills or India Bonds,
it is sufficiently accounted for by the surplus of capital in the
I aids of our mercantile interests, who have been thus
anxious to employ it temporarily at the small rate of interest
which Exchequer Bills bear.
With some there is an impression that large amounts of
gold are in the course of shipment to the continent, where,
however, it is not wanted ; the greater portion of the ship-
ments which have lately been made having been in silver,
and that chiefly to the Dutch and German cities, simply,
because the operation is a more profitable one than sending
either hills or gold at present. It is, however, almost need-
less to remark that the statements of some of our Contern-
poraries, respecting the intended dealings of the Bank in
Exchequer Bills by way of loan, or the present course of
exportation of the precioui metals, can, taking into consi-
deration the large amount of bullion now held by the Bank
Corporation, affect that institution, even if it were carried
on to a much greater extent, for a considerable time ; and
the same observation, we believe, will be found to apply cor-
rectly to all the joint-stock banks of England and Ireland
which are properly conducted.
There has not been any speculation in the British Funds
to-day, and the market has closed this afternoon with
scarcely any alteration from the quotations of last evening.
Consols still continue at 934 to 93;1 ; the Three-and-a-
Half per Cent. Reduced Annuities are 1001 to 1001
Money, and the New Three-and-a- HaT per Cents. 101
for the opening ; the premium upon Exchequer Bills rules
at 62 to 64 ; and India Bonds at 61 to 63.

The Foreign Market continues dull, and the Peninsular,
as also as the Transatlantic Bonds, have closed at slightly
lower rates. - Spanish Bonds, with the May Coupons, arc
164 ; Passive are 3! ; and Deferred 7 ; Portuguese New
Five per Cent. Bonds have receded to 28i to 28i ; and
the Three per Cents. ditto to 18! to 18i ; Brazilian Bonds
are 77k1 to 774. ; Colombian are 251 ; and Mexican 224 ;
Danish Bonds are 74E; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 544 to 54,-1 ; the Old Five per Cents., 1004,
and the New Loan are 99k.
The Share Market has not manifested any symptoms of
improvement. Great Western Railway are 101 to II
pr, to, ; Blackwall are 2f to 23 dis. ; Croydon ..re 4 dis.,
and the New Scrip k prem. ; North Midland are at par. ;
Anti-Dry Rot Registered Shares are 101 dis., and the
Scrip 131 dis. ; Bahia Steam Shares are dis. ; British
North American Shares are 24 prem., and those of the
Union Bank of Australia are 41 to 41 prem.

POST.—A deputation of persons went up from the
City to-day to lay before her Majesty's Ministers the me-
morial on Spanish affairs to which we lately made allusion.
It turns out, as we had suspected it would from the first,
that the memorial originated with tha poor defrauded
bondholdhers ; and this being perceived by Lord Melbourne,
little time was lost in giving the deputation their answer.
A promise that the matter referred to in the document
" should not be lost sight of" was, we are told, all that could
be exacte I from his Lordship. The case of the jobbers,
who can obtain but 16 per cent. for a Spanish bond for
which they may possibly have given 72, is certainly a cruel
one, but we do not see how it can serve them to mix up
their pecuniary claims, as they seem to have done in the
present instance, with a call on Government to put a stop
to the civil war in Spain on the score of humanity simply.
They might have known very well beforehand that such a
manceuvre, if detected, was sure to end in failure.

CHRONICLE.—There has been a further depression
in the premium on Exchequer Bills, and the market is
altogether heavy ; not arising, however, from the circum-
stance of some erroneously filled-up Exchequer Bills hav-
ing been discovered to be in circulation, evidently the result
of mistake, but from the fact that the Directors of the
Balk of England, pursuing their usual course of
one moment extending their accommodations and then
as suddenly contracting their discounts, are endeavouring
to put on the screw, as it is technically termed, with a
view of rendering money scarce, We have been aware of
this circumstance for a day or two, but have refrained from
alluding to it, being desirous previously of obtaining some
information on the subject of a very particular and most
important nature ; and as we are still in hopes of being suc-
cessful, we shall again delay detailed remarks. The last
quotation of Exchequer Bills was 625. to 645. prem. Con-
sols remain at 934 to for the opening without any parti-
cular feature.

No effect whatever has been produced upon Dutch or
Belgian securities by the speech of the King of the French
on opening the Chambers, nor, indeed, has it attracted any
interest in the City.

SUMMONING THE QUEEN.—On Monday, as the
new police van drove into the yard of the Queen-square
Police office, Stowell, the notorious informer, ordered the
driver to stop. The van at this office has only been in
operation for three or four days, and the police constable
who drove it refused to draw up. The informer then pro-
duced from under his arm a large quarto volume, contain-
ing statutes of every description, and pointed out to the
astonishment of the constable, the Act sth and 6th of Wil-
liam IV., cap. 50, by which he was in the first instance em-
powered to lay an information against the proprietor, driver,
or conductor of any " carriage, van, or other vehicle" upon
which the name and address of the owner did not appear in
legible characters. There were only painted upon this
vehicle the letters V. It. ; and Stowell, after producing the
Act, plainly told the driver that, unless be immediately told
him his name, he should give him into the custody of one
of his brother policemen. Stowell had had informations
against the present King of Hanover, Lord Melbourne, &c.,
in which he had obtained convictions ; and he did not see
wby the Queen should be spared. The driver gave the
name of Charles Smith, 96 A division ; and the informer,
after detaining the van for about a quarter of an hour, ap-
plied for a summons, which was granted by Mr. Gregoric,
the sitfrig Magistrate. The charge was to be heard to-day.
In the course of a case which was tried on Monday
at Guildhall, where a butcher, named Matthews, had de-
tected the dishonesty of two servants by sending per-
sons to the shop to purchase articles with marked money,
Sir Peter Laurie observed that scarcely a day passed that
a servant was not charged at a police-office with embezzle-
ment, and it seemed to be an increasing crime. It was an
offence easily committed, and with the new facilities of
railroads to the coast, and steam-boats to America and
France, the terror of the law ceased to deter those who
harboured criminal intentions. The leniency of the punish-
ments inflicted for this offence of late, also perhaps tended
to multiply the instances. He knew that a great many
eases of embezzlement were detected, and the servants
turned away without being brought before the Magis-
trates at all. Ile commended the course taken by Mr.
Matthews to detect his servants, and he wished all servants
would take warning that the next customers they may
serve may be sent with marked money to make the pur-
chase. This expedient was perfectly justifiable.

On Sunday afternoon two gentlemen were walking
in the inclosure of St. James's Park, when one of them un-
dertook for a trifling wager to swim across the ornamental
water attired as he was. The gentleman had progressed
about half way, when he was observed to sink ; a boat was
immediately put off, and he was taken out of the water in
a state of insensibility and conveyed to the A division
station-house, Gardner's-lane, where restoratives were im-
mediately administered, and in the course of two hours he
was so far recovered as to walk home.

On Saturday afternoon a labourer named John
Chinch, who has been for some time employed on the
Eastern Counties Railway at Old Ford, was at work on
the line, when he observed four waggons corning at a ra-
pid rate towards him, each of which contained upwards of a
ton of earth. In his confusion to get out of they way he
was knocked down, and the whole of the waggons passed
over his left leg, which was mangled in a frightful man-
ner. He was conveyed to the London Hospital, where he
lingered in great agony until three o'clock oq Sunday
morning, when death terminated his sufferings.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 19.
MAGNAY V. KNIGHT.

This was an action to recover compensation for services
rendered to the defendant.

The plaintiff, Mr. Frederipk Magnay, was the brother of
the Alderman, and the defendant was a publisher. The ac-
tion was brought to recover 1901„ the balance of two years'
salary, 5001., which the plaintiff alleged to be due to him, in
his capacity of clerk to defendant. It appeared that in May,
1834, there was a negotiation between the defendant and Al-
derman Magnay, with a view to their entering into partner-
ship ; but no agreement was made. However, in the deed of
partnership which was drawn up, there was a stipulation that
the plaintiff should at first become a clerk in defendant's
house, at a salary of 250/. ; but that ultimately he should be
admitted into partnership. That deed was never executed ;
but the plaintiff was taken into defendant's service as a clerk,
and was employed at different times in the capacities of clerk,
cashier, and traveller. On. the part of the plaintiff a conver-
sation was given in evidence, which took place in July 1835,
and in the course of which the defendant mentioned 2501.
per annum as the salary which he would agree to give the
plaintiff, and Alderman Magnay and the plaintiff a,sented
to that proposal. Up to that time there had be n no agree-
ment as to salary, and it was contended, on the part of the
plaintiff, that the agreement then made was to apply to the
antecedent period of service ; whilst, on the part of the
defendant it was urged that, at all events, it would only
operate prospectively. The defendant's witnesses proved
that 1001. per year was a reasonable and proper salary for
a person in the capacity of traveller to an establishment
like the defendant's.

The LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE left it to the jury to express
their belief as to the nature of the agreement between
these parties.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict for
the plaintiff—damages, 1701.

BOSWELL AND ANOTHER V. ROTCII AND OTHERS.
This was an action for work and labour and goods sup-
plied, brought by the firm of Sarah and William Boswell,
coachbuilders, and four others, as the Directors of a Com-
pany established in October, 1836, and called " The Single-
horse Safety Conveyance Company."
It appeared that one of the plaintiffs, W. Boswell, had
m ide a tender to the Company in regard to the building of
food and commodious cabs for the purposes of the Com-
pany ; that he attended several. meetings of the Board of
Directors, received orders, which he executed, and that he
had delivered to the Company, in compliance with these
orders, or proceeded with the building of as many as twenty-
seven cabs. In respect of that work the present action
was brought. The plaintiff himself became a shareholder
in this Company, which lasted for about one year, and the
main ground of defence was, that there was in the deed by
which the Company was established, and which the plain-
tiff had signed, a clause especially providing that no share-
holder should be liable, under any contract entered into on
the part of the Company, to a greater amount than his
own share. The question of the defendants' liability turned
upon the construction of that deed, end the only remaining
question was as to the amount of damages.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested the propriety of a
reference ; and both parties consented to refer all the ques-1
tions of fact, the arbitrator being instructed to raise upon
his award the legal questions which were to be discussed in
the Court above.

A verdict was taken for the plaintiff for the full amount,
subject to that arrangement.

ADMIRALTY COUR7'.—D.sc. 19.
THE EMU-SALVAGE.
This is a suit for compensation for salvage-services al-
leged to have been performed by a steam-tug, the Sit
Robot Hawkes, the property of the Steam Towing Com-
pany, to ttie vessel, the Emu. The latter ship, of 381
tons burthen, on a voyage from Van Diemen's Land to
the port of London, having got, through the fault of her
pilot, on the Maitland Sands, near the Nore, on the 15th
of July last, was come up to by the steam-vessel, who
waited with her during the night of the 15th, got her off
at about seven o'clock on the following morning, and towed
her up to London. The steamer is a tug in the service of
the Yarmouth Mackerel Company, engaged to tow the
mackerel cutters belonging to that Company to London, and
it is asserted that in consequence of the performance of the
present service she was unable to perform her usual duty,
that the fish arrived too late for the London market, and a
loss, on that account, to the amount of 1001. is asserted to
have taken place. The value of the ship and cargo, which
consisted of cotton and of other colonial produce, is esti-
mated at 11,9701. It is a matter of dispute between the par-
ties whether the services of the alleged salvors were ac-
cepted by the Master of the Ship. A. tender of 2001. for
the salvage, and of an additional 201. for the towing, has
b..en offered and rejected. The action has been entered at
1,500/.

Her MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE (with whom was Dr. GOST-
LING) appeared on behalf of the salvors, and contended
that the situation of the vessel, which was of high value,
was dangerous—the services were most important, and ren-
dered with alacrity and skill. Considerable loss had been
sustained by the late arrival of the mackarel cutters for the
London market, and reparation for this ought to be made.
The tender was insufficient.
Drs. ADDAMS and BLAKE were heard contra.
The Learned JUDGE said that, under the circumstances,
the loss could not be attributed to the performance of the
salvage service. Looking at all the facts of the case, the
Court was of opinion that the tender was sufficient. The
Learned Judge, in the present instance, though in future
cases he would follow a different rule, would make no order
as to costs.
CR

IMINAL COURT-WEDNESDAY.

OLD COURT.
Hannah, alias Ann, Herbert, was indicted was having
forged an acceptance to a bill of exchange for 2301., with
intent to defraud Lady Mary Wood. The prisoner was
also indicted on another count for having on the 2d Dec.
last uttered the said forged acceptance.
The case has recently been before the public from the
Marylebone police office.
The prisoner having called some witnesses in proof of
her former good character,
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE addressed the Jury, who re-
turned a verdict of Guilty on the second count of the in-
dictment, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy.

NEW COURT.
At four o'clock the Grand Jury came into Court with
a great number of bills for felony, and three of them, con-
taining several yards of parchment, against John Hannon,
indicted for " having in his possession a plate, upon which
was engraved a note of the bank of Upper Canada, at To-
ronto."

William Smith, a respectable-looking young man, was in-
dicted for stealing, on the 12th inst., 3s. from the person of
Wm. Griffiths.

After a long trial the prisoner was honourably acquitted,

IDDLESEX SESSIONS, DEC. 19.

THE GENERAL CEMETERY COMPANY V. THE POOR-RATE►
OF ST. MARY ABBOTTS, KENSINGTON.
This was an appeal by the proprietors of the General Ce-
metery at Kensall-green, in the Harrow-road, against the
poor-rate assessment of the parish of St. Mary Abbotts,
Kensington.

Mr. ADOLPHUS stated that the cemetery ocupied an ex-
tent of fifty-four acres, of which the gross rental was esti-
mated by the respondents at 2,4654, and the assessment
was upon a rental of 2,0001. Until within the last year,
when the assessment under the new Act was made, the
rental had only been estimated at 350/., and he submitted
that the increase in the amount was far too great, and that
the estimated rental and assessment thereon was far beyond
what the Company ought to be called on to pay. The
Learned Counsel then called

Mr. Bowman, the clerk to the Company, who produced
an account of the annual receipts and expenditure of the
Company, from which it appeared that the balance in favour
of the Company, after paying all the necessary expenses,
was 4041. 18s., and that 201. was received for a portion of
the land which was not consecrated, making altogether
444/. 18s.
Mr. PRENDERGAST having been heard in support of the
rule, •
The Couta ordered it to be amended by altering it from
2,000/. to 4441. 18s.
