HALF-PAST ONE.
Both the English aud Foreign Securities have receded
since the opening of the market. The decline is chiefly
attributed to the unsettled state of the weather, and the
unfavourable accounts from the manufactutlng districts.
Consols are now quoted at 89i 1- for Money, and 89i for
the Account ; Exchequer Bills have also receded to 14
premium ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 89,1 ; Three-and-
a-Half per Cent., 9811 ; Bank Stock, 1671.
Spanish Active Stock is now quoted at 19i ; Danish
Bonds, 79 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 514 52 ;
Five per Cents., 102.
The Share Market is also very flat and heavy. Great
I'Vestern, New, have receded to 56, and the Fifths to 81;
London and Brighton are 43 ; South Western, 52.
TWO O'CLOCK.

Both Markets continue heavy.
QUARTER TO THREE.
The drooping stqte of the public Funds, added to the
'wariness displayed by our monied men in all their
operations, show clearly enough the pass to which
things are come ; and we may fairly observe, that
what with bad trade, bad weather, and the prospect
of a Ministry disinclined to do what alone can make up
in some measure for either, all classes have reason to
look twice before entering into frosh engagements.
The discussions in the City upon :the question
of commercial reform are becoming every day
more frequent and earnest, and the views of intelligent
and wealthy foreigners resident here, and engaged in
business pursuits, generally concur in censuring the
impolicy of our food regulations, as enabling them
to compete with us in the race of cheap manu-
facturing. We may further add, that the shoe
pinches so much with many of the merchants pro-
fessing Conservative politics, that they begin to look with
anxiety to the adoption of some liberal measures which
they before strenuously opposed, even by the new
Ministry.

GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.)
CRIME FROM DESTITUTION.—NO less than four indi-
viduals were brought before Mr. Alderman Kelly, who
committed offences for the mere purpose of gaining the
temporary shelter of a station-house, and the chance
of a crust of bread. The first case was that
of an able-bodied young man, who expressed
his anxiety and willingness to work if he could
procure it. He broke a street-lamp to be locked up, as
he said he had not lain on a bed for a fortnight. He was
sentenced to feurtoen days' imprisonment.
A woman and her daughter were next charged with
stealing two caps from a shop in Skinner-street,
and said they did so, hoping it would cause them to be
transported, as the workhouse officers would afford them
no relief, and any lot would be preferable to starving
and lying on door-steps in the midst of plenty. A fine-
looking old man, who said he had been on board a man-
of-war for twenty years, was next charged with breaking a
lamp on 4now-hill. He said he begged to be allowed to lie
down in the station-house, but was refitsed, as he had com-
mitted no crime.to entitle him to that privilege. Ho then
broke the lamp, as his legs could scarcely any longer beer
him up, not having Eaten any thing since Monday morn-
ing. He was sent to Bridewell for seven days.

GREAT CONTEST FOR THE SILVER SCULLS.

The holder of this valuable prize, Mr. Jenkins, yes-
terday maintained his right to retain them in one of the
hardest contests of the present season. There are two
floating prizes to denote the amateur championship (with
sculls) of the Thames—the Cambridge and the Wing-
field sculls. The former were given as the symbol of
championship by Mr. Colquhoun ; the latter, of much
longer standing, by the gentleman whose name they bear.
Both are what are termed floating prizes, the winner of
one y-ear retaining the honorary distinction until the suc-
ceeding season, when it is incumbent on him either to
resign the sculls or again take his chance of being the
victor ; but, in order that he should not be pressed by
numbers, and that his superiority might in some mea-
sure be manifest, the conditions of the wager specify
that all the challengers should contend on one day, and
the winner amongst this party, with the then holder or
possessor of the prize, on another. In 1839 Mr. Chap-
man received the sculls of Mr. Wood, many years well
known as a leading member of the Leander Club ; and
in the following year (last season) Mr. Jenkins defeated
Mr. Crockford, Mr. Hernshaw, and Mr. Wallace, who
all sought the enviable distinction of champion scul-
lers. Mr. Chapman wa.s, at that period, in ill-
health, and Mr. Jenkins, as a matter of course,
ig
on the former gentleman declining from the reason
above ass
ned, took undisputed possession of the badge
of victory. He held them until yesterday, and, by dint
of first-rate stamina and game.
holds them still. Mr.
Chapman was resolved to regain that which he had by
indisposition been forced to resign, and he went into
training a week ago with that object. Mr. Jenkins
trained too, but in a different way. It will be found, on
reference to our list of the great Leander and Cambridge
match, that he was one of the winning crew, and out
daily in the boat practising for that match with an oar.
Betting wall five to four in favour of Mr. Jenkins, and
