BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Edmund Scott and James Parish were charged before Sir
F. ROE with violently assaulting a police-constable in the
discharge of his duty.
Thomas Rowland F 76, stated that last night about eight
o'clock he wag on duty in Strand-lane, where he saw a man
knock his wife down, and jump upon her. He interfered to
save the woman, when the prisoner Scott came up and struck
him on the face several times. He was about to defend him-
self when the waterman, Parish, interfered, took hold of his
hands and prevented him from drawing his staff—he also held
him while Scott struck him several blows.

A gentleman from Birmingham, named Philip Smith, saw
the transaction, and corroborated the complainant.
Sir F. ROE, with the concurrence of the Rev. Mr.
THURSBY, fined each in the penalty of 50s. ; and in default
of payment, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for
two months.

John Wilson, driver of the hackney-coach 714, or 1714, for
he gave both numbers, was charged with creating a distur-
bance last night, at the box entrance of the English
Opera House. . The constable of the Theatre said the
prisoner was very drunk, and when the theatre was over abused
every one who came out. By his violent conduct he caused a
crowd to assemble.
The MAGISTRATE ordered him to find bail for the distur-
bance, and directed his master to be sent for, so that he might
be further punished for leaving his coach.
Thomas Rogers was charged with stealing a pair of shoes
from a young boy named Aberdeen, a cousin of his.
The boy stated that he met his cousin last night about eight
o'clock, in Holborn ; he told him that he was going to get a
pair of shoes made the same as his, and wanted the boy to
lend him them for a sample. He took them off and went away,
saying he would return presently; the boy waited for an hour,
and then went home on his bare feet.
Brooks, the constable was informed of the affair, and took
the prisoner into custody. Upon him he found a duplicate for
a pair of shoes pledged for 2s.
The pawnbroker, who produced them, and the boy's mother,
identified them as her property.
The prisoner declined to say anything, and was fully com-
mitted to Newgate for trial.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only arrivals this morning are French and Hamburg
mails, with the express from Paris. Two ships have likewise
arrived from Jamaica, which sailed on the Ist August; conse-
quently they do not bring any further information than pre-
viously received.
The express from Paris brings two telegraphic despatches,
dated the 19th and 20th inst., from Bayonne. The first states
that Zumalacarregui was on the 16th at Munarin, but it is not
stated where Don Carlos had taken his station. The second
despatch states that the cholera is making great ravages at
Bilboa, where 100 persons die per day: and the insurrection
was not making progress in Biscay.
By the Hamburg mail we learn that the Spanish Securities
have experienced a further &cline.

nip FUNDS.
The failure announced yesterday of a bill broker caused some
excitement on the Royal Exchange, as it was generally stated
to be to a very large amount. At first it was attributed to the
house having speculated to a 'considerable extent in the Spa-
nish Funds, and could not pay the differences on the decline of
the above Stock but upon inquiry, we learn that their specu-
lations in the Spanish Stock have not been to any great ex-
tent, and the stoppage is entirely owing to having Indorsed
bad bills to a considerable amount, which, when due, were dis-
honoured.

Spanish Stock continues to be heavy : it left off yesterday
at 51 ; opened at 51+ ; soon after receded to 50 sellers,
since which a re-action has taken place, and it is at present 501..
The various reports current yesterday on 'Change that the
Cortes had adopted the Report of the Finance Committee,
turn out to be a fabrication.

Accounts from Madrid were reported to have been received
of the 15th of insurrectionary movements in that capital, which
the French papers contradict.

Portuguese Stock, 80a
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 90i
for the Account, with little doing at present.

QUARTER-PAST TWELVE.
Spanish Stock, which receded to 50+ 4-, has since improved
to 51i ; Portuguese, 81. Consols, 96/1
HALF-PAST ONE.

We this moment learn on 'Change that there is an arrival
from Lisbon, by express, with an account that the Marriage
Act has passed the Chambers ; and a ship is immediately to be
despatched for the Prince of Leichtenburg. Also that Don
Pedro has improved in his health.

Spanish Stock, which was in the early part of the morning
very heavy at 503-, is at present 52i. We cannot account, as
yet, for this sudden start. Portuguese has improved to 811
owing to the above information.
Consols continue steady at 90i for the Account, with
little doing.

The Bill-brokers alluded to in our City article as
having failed, are Messrs. Gumersall and Gandell, of Lombard-
street.

A raluable broodmare, belonging to Prince Ester-
hazy, was obliged to be killed in consequence of an injury she
received on Thursday morning, at Brighton. The mare cost
the Prince 500 guineas some time back, was high bred, and
with foal. The groom was out airing, when one of the horses
kicked and broke the mare's fore thigh and dislocated her
shoulder. She was the favourite of the Prince's stud.—

RESQUE ANNUAL, FOR 1835.
London: Hodgson, Boys, and Graves.
The Annual season bids fair to set in with its usual
severity. ,All our old favourites, whose name is Le-
gion—to say nothing of a few strangers who promise
hugely in the way of green and gold and all sorts of
gorgeous emblazonments—are announced as ready for
immediate publication. For a time, therefore, we may
expect it to rain Annuals, and just at this seasonand
of
-
sterility, when the literary world -is quite dry
parched, and crying out for moisture, the shower is
most welcOme and appropriate one. Autumn indeed
is the legitimate season of the Annuals. Spring and
summer have their own intrinsic recommendations, and
need few or no helps from art ; the world is then (or
should be) an out-of-doors world ; but in autumn it
begins to develope the organ of " stay-at-home-ative-
ness," and it is just when this is in its first freshness--
when the blazing fire, with the couch and table wheeled e
close beside it, the warm hearth-rug, the closed shut-
