DIONEY MARKET POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGTOOD.

CITY, Two o'Oioon
The Liverpool Cotton3flarket yesterday was much
excited through the advices per the Canada, and
prices were rather higher. The sales were 30,000
134108-1700 on speculation and 3,000 for export.
The
Railway Share Market was active, at au ad-
vance on Saturday's rate.
Accounts from France relative to the agricul-
tural situation of the country and the state of the
grain markets are of a more favourable character.
itdownward movement in prices is not rapid,
is uit -
quiet and regular, and the accounts from
the
departments report a gradual and steady in-
crease in the supplies of wheat at the depots, so
tbit t it is expected by November they will be
amply provisioned. The urgent labours of the
farmers at this season of the year have been ter-
minated earlier than last autumn ; and the scarcity
of money caused many to sell at lower rates than
the market prices.
,The advices from Vienna state that the panic
Which had been produced on the Bourse at the first
11178 of the probability of France and England
Withdrawing their envoys at Naples, and the pre-
„l3ltration made for the departure of the allied squad-
us, had subsided, and stocks, which had declined
'll consequence, were recovering. The scarcity of
:Peek), however, continues, and the premium on
the precious metals in exchange for bank notes had
risen to 8 per cent. ; and it is expected that if the
currency is not relieved shortly by a supply of
specie this will advance to 10 per cent.

The intelligence from Paris relative to the moue-
t.3 crisis continues of a rather contradictory cha-
racter, but it is evident that an improved feeling
Prevails with regard to the future. It is supposed
that purchases of gold will still be effected, and it
Is to be hoped, therefore, that our supplies from
4tistralia and the United States will be more than
sufficient for the requirements of the Bank of
trance.

In Lombard-street and at the Bank of England
there
z_ is an active demand for discount accommo-
dation, which is not obtainable even on the best
descriptions of paper under the official minimum.
The supply of capital is sufficiently ample, however,
to
°ommercial purposes, and, as trade is mo-
derately active, this is a satisfactory fea-
ture. There can be no doubt that the value
o
money will be maintained for some time,
'bough the Directors may soon be enabled to re-
sume_ their advances on Stock. There was some
IPeetation that this important step would be
to adopted to-day, but the period has not yet arrived
r such a concession, and the Directors made no
alteration in their restrictive policy.
The market for English Stocks opened with
firmness at yesterday's latest quotations, but upon

been
became rather weaker, and there has since
no recovery. The transactions, both real
thliu speculative, have not been very numerous, and
e uncertainty prevailing as to the probable
eQurse of events checks an extension of speculative
dealing. Consols for money have been 914 to 92,
been
9174 to 92k. For account the bargains have
ueen at 92k 1, and 92k sellers. They are now 911

'lchequer Bills remain at 3s. to Gs. premium.
For Foreign Securities there has been a very dull
Market, except for Turkish 6 per Cents., in which
business has continued active, at a decline, owing
to the probability of a fresh Turkish loan. These
bonds have been 89± 1, and 89 k 90. The 4 per
Cents. are about 99/ 1. Spanish Threes rule heavy
at 411, and the New Deferred at 234. Russian 5

transactions have been recorded in Brighton, and
Lancashire and Yorkshire. Caledonian, Brighton,

MARLEOROUG U-STRE ET.

A CRIMEAN HERO IN TROUBLE.— William Dumbarton,
a private soldier, belonging to the 3d battalion of the
Grenadier Guards, whose breast was adorned with the
Crimean medal, was brought before Mr. leaden, charged
with assaulting and attempting to rob John Bolderon, a
servant out of place, residing at 26, Stanley-street,
Paddington.
The prosecutor deposed that about a quarter past 9
last night, being troubled with an attack of spasms, he
thought a little fresh air would do him good, and ao-
cordingly he went into Hyde-park for that purpose. He
entered by the Marble Arch, and proceeded down the
middle walk, when defendant met him and wished him
good evening and passed on. Witness had not walked far
when the prisoner came after him, and placing himself
before him, said, " How are you ? I have not seen
you for a long time." Prosecutor told prisoner that he
had the advantage of him, and they walked on some dis-
tance talking together. The prisoner then suddenly
seized him by the arm and demanded a shilling of him,
and on his telling him that he had not got a shilling the
prisoner laid hold of him by the throat with one hand
and attempted to rifle his breast pocket with the other.
Witness called out " Murder" as loud as he could,
and in a minute or two a constable came up, when he
gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, in defence, said the prosecutor first
accosted him, and wanted to take indecent liberties
with him, which he resented, and threatened to give him
in charge of the police. The prosecutor no sooner heard
this than he began to call out " Murder" most lustily.
The result was a constable came up, and he was given
into custody.
The prosecutor underwent a most searching cross-
examination, but his evidence was not shaken in the
least.

Police-constable, 201 A, said about half-pact nine last
night he was on duty in Hyde-park, where he heard the
cry of " Murder" three or four times proceed from the
direction of the Magazine Barracks. He ran to the
spot, and just as he got up he met the prisoner, who, in
answer to bis inquiry, said " it was all right." The pro-
secutor then came up and gave the prisoner in charge
for attempting to strangle and rob him. The prosecutor's
clothes were in great disorder, and the prisoner did not
mention anything about his taking liberties with him
for full ten minutes after the present charge was taken.
This the prisoner denied.
Love, 167 A, corroborated the evidence of his brother
constable.

Mr. Beadon said it was a case for a jury to decide,
and committed the prisoner for trial.

SOUTHWARK.'

IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.—John Brown,
a well dressed man, was brought before Mr. Burcham,
charged with stealing a gold chain, value 4/. 155., from
the shop of Mr. Francis Putley, watchmaker and jewel-
ler, Newington•causeway.

The prosecutor stated that on Saturday evening the
prisoner came into his shop and stated that he was con-
nected with a family at Southampton with whom he was
acquainted. He then said that he wanted to purchase
a gold chain. Witness showed him several, but neither
of them suited him ; and after requesting one to be
manufactured of a particular pattern, he was about to
leave the shop. His son, however, detained him, and
asked him for the chain he had in his pocket, and a
policeman was called in, and he was given into custody.
Witness did not see him conceal a chain, neither had he
missed one at the time.

The prosacutor's son said that he was sitting in the
parlour at the back of the shop on Saturday evening,
when the prisoner came in and asked to be shown some
chains Witness was reading a book at the time, but
he looked sideways at the prisoner and saw him take up
a chain and put it in his pocket. Ha got up then,
passed quietly through the shop, and requested a lad
living at the next shop to go and fetch a constable.
As soon as the latter came up the prisoner was about
to quit the shop, when witness put his hand upon him,
and told him he had one of his father's chains about
him. He indignantly denied it, and went to wards the
counter, when witness distinctly saw him put the chain
on the counter. He then gave him into custody.
Tne prisoner declared that it was all false what the
young man had stated. He never concealed the chain
about him, as it was on the counter among the other
chains all the time.

Police-constable 63 M said that when he took the pri-
soner into custody he denied the charge.
Mr. Barcham said that, according to the evidence, it
was a case for a jury ; therdfore he should cmmit him
for trial.
