MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market, at Liverpool, has been firm this
week, and although it has received a check by the Bank
of England measures, prices have ranged about d. per
lb. higher. The sales of the week are 25,510 bales ;
Stock, 492,570 bales, against 769,930 bales at this time
last year. Shares were.heavy.
We have no arrivals to day beyond those from the
continental ports.
The Bank of England weekly return, made up to the
3d instant, is important in respect both to the reduction
of bullion and of unemployed notes, which the directors
had drawn out of the banking department to increase
their circulation and provide for the amount required to
make advances upon the mass of bills offered to them.
After the 17th inst. a great deal of money will probably
be returned into the Bank coffers, owing to the bills under
discount running out, and the Bank steadily decreasing
its loans in the meantime. The following analysis de-
serves special attention:—
Notes issued
Decrease
Notes unemployed 3,699,700

Rest increase
Public deposits decrease

New 'Tree-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 85i

bills are 3s. discount to par. One reason given for this
further decline is the agreement said to have been
made for the Bank of England to lend stock, which the

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
ASSAULT. Charles Hurley, cabman, aged 35, and
Ann Hurley, his wife, aged 28, were found Guilty of
committing a violent assault on Timothy Hurley, a
relaiion, whom the male defendant dragged out c•f his
T ,(1 late at night, and both violently assaulted him, the
one with a poker and the other by blows.
The COMMON SERGEANT said it was incumbent upon
the Court, when it bore in mind that a great proportion
of the charges which came before it were assaults of a
violent nature, to make an example of the defendants, in
order to show that those who gave way to the influence
of violent passions must expect to be severely punished.
The sentence of the Court was, that they be imprisoned
in the House of Correction for twelve months.
" THE GENTLEMAN IN BLACK."—An interesting-
looking young female, named Rebecca Smith, was in-
dicted for stealing► a cash-box containing thirty-five
sovereigns. eight half-crowns, and a cheque for'7l. 10s.,
from the shop of Mr. Grey, a linendraper, carrying on
business at No. 36, Upper-street, Islington.
Mr. WILDE stated the case to the jury. He said on
Saturday, the 27th of March, the prisoner was observed
outside the shop of the prosecutor, in the company of a
gentleman " dressed in black." He was a tall, dark man,
and wore a flowing Spanish cloak. They came into the
shop together; and whilst the female was purchasing
some flannel the " gentleman in black" abstracted the
cash-box. Soon after they left the shop it, was missed.
Although the gentleman was particularly noticed, he
feared that the prosecutor and those in his shop could
not identify him.
The COEMON SERGEANT inquired if Mr. Wilde
thought that he could go to the jury on so vague a
charge ?
Mr. WILDE admitted that the case could not be sus-
tained against the prisoner, but they could prove that
she Was seen in the company of the " gentleman i❑
black," on the morning i❑ question. Mr. Clarkson was
on the other side.

The Colexoti SERGEANT-4)11 ! I did not know that
Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Perhaps the case
had better proceed.
Mr. CLARKSON trusted that the fact of his having been
retained for the prisoner did not increase the suspicion
against her.—(Laughter.)
Mr. WILDE said he would not go to the jury. He
might state, however, that it was represented that the
" gentleman in black" was a very dangerous person.
The COMMON SERGEANT—I think all of us had better
take care of him.—(Laughter.)
The prisoner was then discharged.
Mr. Grey said many persons could identify the female
as having been in company of the " gentleman in black."
The CuMbioN SERGEANT said the great fault in the
case was that they could not identify the gentleman in
tho cloak. It it could have been proved that they had
gone into a number of shops together, and that a similar
result had occurred, greater suspicion would have
attached to her.

The prisoner was then removed.
THE COMMON SERGEANT AND MR. PAYNE.

Whilst Mr. Payne was addressing the jury on. behai
of two persons charged with felony (the facts of which
were devoid of public interest), he was twice stopped, for
a few -moments each time, by a gentleman whose face
bore marks of great anxiety,
On the second interruption,
The COMMON SERGEANT exclaimed—lf you interrupt
the counsel in that way, sir, I shall commit you.
Mr. PAYNE (evidently surprised)—He is a solicitor;
the solicitor to a person whose trial has just commenced
in the other court, fix whom I am retained.
The COMMON SERGEANT—It is most indecent to in-
terrupt a counsel whilst he is addressing the jury; it
distracts the attention of the jury.
Mr. PAYNE (with much emphasis)—l don't see that.—
(Roars of laughter from the bar, and the persons in the
body of the gallery, during which the Common Sergeant
looked like a stoic.) The case itself has proceeded
helter-skelter, now running at the witness, now running
at the solicitor, anxious for the safety of his client, and
now at counsel. It is a long time since I said this with
respect to the conduct of the Court, but I am obliged to
say it now. A few minutes cannot be wasted if the ends
of justice may be thereby promoted.
The matter then dropped, and Mr. Payne having con-
cluded his address turned into the other Court.
The prisoners lVilliam Wynne, aged 19, a farrier, and
Julia Higgins, 18, unmarried, were found Guilty of
knocking down Marshall Jones, a young man, one night
in New Oxfordtstreet, and stealing from his pocket one
pencil and three keys, value 4s. They were sentenced
to be transported fur ten years. The female prisoner
was carried from the dock, exclaiming, " Oh, my poor,
dear mother--ten years! This comes of bad company."

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Messrs. Al-
dermen FARNCOMBE and CHALLIS.)
ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS.—Two young men, of
highly respectable appearance, named John Lawrence
and Ernest Schultze, were charged, the former with
robbing from the person of Miss Margaret Hammond
the sum of one sovereign, and the latter with an
attempted robbery from the person of Miss Julia
Hammond.

Mr. Doane attended for the prosecution; Mr. Ballan-
tine fur the prisoner Lawrence, and Mr. Parry for
Schultze.

It appeared that on the Ist of April two young ladies
(sisters) got into an omnibus at Hungerford-market,
with the purpose of proceeding to Paddington, and
while inside, seated between the prisoners, it was al-
leged that one them lost the sovereign in question. The
other sister, whose suspicion bad been excited by the
conduct of Schultze, observed the prisoner Lawrence
withdraw his hand from her sister's dress and place
something in his left hand waistcoat pocket. An alarm
was given, and the prisoners were given into custody.
On the prisoner Lawrence being searched a sovereign
and a half were found in the pocket to which the young
lady referred. Several silver coins were discovered in
other pockets.
Witnesses were examined in support of the pro-
secution.
Mr. Ballantine having addressed the jury for Lawrence,
and Mr. Parry for Schultze,

The Learned JUDGE summed up.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty in both Cases,
viously c
The prisoners were well known, having been
.pre-
Sentenced each to seven years' transportation.
The remaining cases contained no feature of im-
portance.

I The marriage of Mr. Hussey Vivia with Miss ' Goddard. eldest daughter of N. Goddard,n Esq., of the
Lawn, Swindon, is expected to take place in the course
of the ensuing week.
THE LATE MYSTERIOUS APPAIR AND SUPPOSED
MURDER IN ST. PANCRAS.--Yesterday, Mr. G. I. Mills,
the Deputy Coroner for West Middlesex, held an inquest
at the British Queen, Sussex. street, Tottenham. court-
road, on the body of William Henry Cross, a shoemaker,
rcbiding in Little Pancras-street, who had died suddenly
from the bursting of a blood-vessel of the lungs.
.After
hearing some evidence of no importance, a verdict of " Natural death" was returned.
