THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1846.

The prisoner, in his defence, said that the Mendicity
officers had a " bad feeling" towards him. What they had
said was all perjury and lies.
Mr. MALTBY asked if the prisoner was known?
Horsford said he was the most desperate of the whole gang
of London beggars ; he was even a terror to his own
fraternity. Since January, 1840, he had been committed
from the different metropolitan police-courts fourteen times,
and had undergone twenty-two months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
Mr. MALTBY again imposed the severest punishment the
imprisonment.
The allows, viz., three months'
The prisoner, as he left the Court, shook his fist menacingly
at the Society's constables, exclaiming—" I am determined,
if I wait ever so long, to put a knife into you, although I
know I shall hang at the Old Bailey for it."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
Sales, 4,000 bales. Shares have been quiet also.
The features in the Bank of England return for last week
are these :
Notes issued now £29,005,160
Last

Increase

401,765
Bullion now
Lust

Incsease
Public deposits, increase
Other deposits, decrease
Seven day and other bills, decrease
Other securities, decrease 137,495
The immense amount of bullion held, and the power which
that gives to augment the note issues, is a very decided
proof of the sway which the Bank of England possesses,
under the last new Act, over the currency of the United
Kingdom.
There are advlces from Sydney to-day to the 12th March,
but we do not believe that any letters have ,?et been deli-
vered, nor have any papers come to hand. £he dates are
later than those previously received, and much anxiety was
shown in commercial circles to learn if any news of import-
ance had been received from New Zealand later in point of
date than that previously obtained from this colony. At
present we have not had our letters delivered to us.
Great is the exultation at the Corn and Tariff Bills having
become the law of the land. Differences of opinion may exist
as to the foreign policy of the new Ministry, but as to home
matters, not a shadow of tear exists. Consols for the Account
have been done at 95, and at 943 y this morning. Exchequer-
bills at 13s. 14s. premium ; Bank Stock at 2041 A and 2051,4 ;
and the Reduced Three 'per Cents at 943/4 to 95 ; and India
Bonds at 255. premium.
In the Foreign Market there has been a good amount of
business done to-day, principally in Brazilian at 83, in
Chilian at 951 A, in Mexican at 271%, in Portuguese at a
fall from 49 to 471 A, in Spanish at 241/4, in the Spanish
Three per Cents. at 363/4, and in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents at 60%.
Upon the whole, the Railway Shares and Scrip Market
has been heavy to-day, as may be observed by a reference to
the official list of prices, inserted in another part of The Sun.
