IVIARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY)
Eliza Stephens, a good-looking young woman, genteelly
dressed, was charged with tendering a counterfeit sovereign
at the shop of Mr. Elphinstone, baker, of No. 227, Regent.
street. It appeared that between eight and nine o'clock last
evening the prisoner entered the shop, apparently in a hurry,
and asked for a shilling's worth of fancy biscuits. On being
served she tendered in payment the spurious coin in ques-
tion. It was nearly instantly detected to be bad, and she
was tad so, on wtich she said that a lady who was waiting
opposite had given her the sovereign and asked tier to run
over for the biscuits. Of course " the lady" could not be
found, and the prisoner was given into custody.
Mr. MALTBY asked if she wished to say anything? The
prisoner said the statement she had made was perfectly
correct.

Inspector Baker, of the C division, said that at the station-
house the prisoner gave her address at No. 5, Hare-court,
Aldersgate-street. A constable had been sent there this
morning, and found that no such person was living there.
Prisoner-.-I do live there; some mistake must have been
made.

Mr. MALTBY said he should remand the prisoner until to-
morrow, when the solicitor to the Mint would be iu attend-
ance.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, including 500 on speculation and 500 for export.
Prices were steady and the market was quiet. Shares in es-
tablished lines improved, while Scrip was declining.
Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s sale of shares yesterday after-
noon went off briskly, and prices were fully supported up to
their previous quotations. The number of shares submitted
was greater than usual, and a very large business was done,
more than 3,500 shares being disposed of at the hammer.
These sales continue to attract much attention, and many of
the jobbers obtain shares, or ease off some of their accumu-
lated scrip, through this medium.

There are no —arrivals with late ship letters of any in-
terest.

The regulations which Government intends to propose to
Parliament for checking railway Bills, where carried on con-
trary to the wishes of the shareholders, although they come
very late in the day, are hailed with pleasure by the multi-
tude of persons involved in railway liabilities, and anxious
to close at once with a certain loss, rather than
to flounder on, and perhaps get deeper in the
mire. The directors will rind it no light task to obtain
" assets" to the prosecution of such a scheme; and none but
first-rate and short lines, we conceive, will be at all likely to
be carried out at present.

Our contemporary the Times still labours in its creditable
vocation of endeavouring to make " confusion worse con-
founded." One day the allottees are attacked, the next
day they are championed ; on a third occasion provisional
committees are reviled, and on a fourth are screened; and
sympathised with. Every plain man of business in the City
is at a loss to understand such inconsistency, and such a
laboured system to aggravate the existing evil, weighing.
now upon the innocent as well as culpable—the trader al-
most equelly with the speculator. To-day a provisional
committee-man has his turn, and because he has paid his 501.
towards the expenses of a defunct concern, and this is
proved to be insufficient, the Times advises him to pay
no more. Such advice may be easily enough
given, but woe be to the man who takes it.
A Committee man is clearly liable for an equal proportion of
the exper.ses with his colleagues, and if 50/. or any other
first call be not enough, thanks perhaps to the " levanting "
of many railway worthies, he must submit to make up the
difference, since creditors will never suffer quietly from the
acts of men who went into these speculations with their
eyes open, and with the sole object, as in all
other speculations, of making money. The company cited
by the Times, the Midland Grand Junction, it is stated that
the managing committee and' others have paid a full contri-
butiOn, and it is not likely they ►ill let any of their col-
leagues off for less because -SW. only was originally deemed
sufficient.

The English securities have been rather steadier to. day,
but the transactions are not extensive. Consols realise 93% %
for the present transfer, and 95% to 9G for Account. The
premium or Exchequer Bills has been 22 to 25. New Three-
and-Quarter per Cents are 96V2 %. Bank Stock is 204% to
2054.
The Foreign Stocks are a mere dead letter to-day.
Spanish Three per Cents. have been 36% % ; Dutch Four
per Cents. are 91% to 924. Beyond this there have been
❑o bargains. _

Shares are rather steady, on account of the relief which wil
be given by Sir Robert Peel's measure.
