CITY. TWO O'CLOCK

The question as to the fate of Paris during the next few
days exclusively commands attention, while, at the same
time, the financial issues dependent upon it are not of a
character sufficiently marked to incite speculative opera
tions. With regard to nearly all descriptions of foreign
securities, there is in every quarter a similar absence of
any strong view as to the course of prices.
India Stock is again 1 per cent. lower, making a
a reduction of nearly 5 per cent. since the downfall of
the empire. _ _ .

The English Funds are A per cent. lower than last night,
and all Indian securities are flat. The following are the
prices ;—Consols, 91 to 914 for money, and 914 to.
92 for the 4th October ; New and Reduced, 901
to 901 ex div.; India Five per Cents., 1091
to 110. ditto Four per Cents., 92A to 100 ;
ditto Ten-and-a-Half per Centl3., 204 to 206 ; ditto
Bonds, 125., 20s. premium; Exchequer Bills, is., 6s.
premium ; and Bank of England Stock, 234, 236.
At a meeting of the Mutual Tontine (Westminster
Chambers) Association (Limited), an interim dividend was
declared at the rate of 3A per cent. per annum.
The directors of the London and San Francisco Bank
(Limited) have declared a dividend on account of 5 per
cent., free of income tax.
The Neue Freie Presse, in adverting to the recent events
at Paris, states that the universal feeling at Vienna was
one of depression, but that this lasted only a brief time.
It was plain that the industrial resources of Austria must
be brought into the greatest activity to meet the demand
consequent upon the scarcity of skilled labour in Prussia.
The Manchester markets this week have opened
steadily.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(THIS DAY.)
MURDEROUS ASSAULT. —Jane Law, described as a
needlewoman, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the
Marlborough-street Police-court, with violently assaulting
Alexander Ross, an elderly man, a tailor. The com-
plainant deposed that yesterday morning he went into
his room at No. 21, Dudley-street, when the prisoner,
with whom he cohabited, asked him for the change of a
shilling she had given him, and on his refusing to give it
she struck him several times on the head with
the pointed end of a pair of scissors, inflicting
several severe wounds and smothering him with blood.
He succeeded in wresting the scissors from her, and gave
her into custody. He showed the scissors to the officer.
The prisoner said she worked hard at staymaking, and her
refusal to give money for drink caused a quarrel, during
which the complainant fell, and struck his head against
the fender. Remanded for a Week for the production of
witnesses.
CANNABALISM IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. John
Callaghan, an Irish tailor, aged 34 years, who has been
in the Army, was brought up on remand, before Mr.
Paget, at the Thames Police-court, charged with assault-
ing and wounding Mary Buckley, and biting off her
under lip. The parties were living in Williams Court,
St. George's - in-the-East. A woman who is
cohabiting with the prisoner quarrelled with
him, and he beat her. She ran into the
house where Mrs. Buckley was then living for protec-
tion. The prisoner followed her, and Mrs Buckley got
between the prisoner and his paramour to protect her.
The prisoner, who was drunk and mad with rage, struck
Mrs. Buckley and knocked her down on the
stairs. He then fell upon her and fastened his teeth
on her under lip, and bit it completely off.
Mr. Paget said that more than one half of all the charges
ever brought before him originated from excessive drink-
ing. His office would be almost a sinecure if there were
no drunkenness. He sent the fellow to prison for six
months.

EIGHTY-FIVE TIMES IN CUSTODY.—Peter Connell, 50, a
labourer, was charged at the Westminster Police-court,
for the 85th time, with being drunk and riotous,
and obstructing a constable -in the execution of
his duty. The prisoner was found on Saturday
night drunk and riotous, and locked up, the magis-
trate on Monday letting him go in spite of his
84th visit, and he was again taken into custody by Samuel
Edwards and fined 21s. or a month, being locked up in de-
fault. His career is worthy of mention, and has extended
since the time when the clothes of the prisoner were
burned at a fire in the House of Correction in Coldbath-
fields, on which occasion Peter, with others, got a new suit
on leaving the prison ; since that time he has seldom passed
Saturday night out of gaol or police station, and has been
known frequently to come into the Rochester-row station,
on a Saturday night, lie down, and refuse to go, but
insist on being locked up ; he has at length
come from a decent hard-working position to a
state of abject poverty, subsisting in jail, workhouse,
and on charity. He has signed the pledge many times,
but has latterly forgotten every principle of decency and
sense, and is a horrid example of the vile effects of
drunkenness.

mingham and family only having access to the Prince,
but notwithstanding the desire to keep, his departure
strictly private, great numbers of people assembled in all
the avenues inside or outside the, station. As, attended
by Mr. Eborall, he walked up the platform there was
considerable cheering. The Prince, who was
