NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

The Bank of England returns, completed to the
18th instant, shows some rather important altera-
tions. The public deposits, owing to the payments
of the dividends, have been diminished by over
half a million sterling, and there is also a small de-
crease in the private deposits. In the reserve of
notes the diminution amounts to about half
a million, while there is an addition to
the active circulation of about a quarter of a
million. In the other securities, owing to the re-
payments of loans made during the shutting of
the transfer books, there is a moderate decrease.
The bullion, in consequence of the active demand
for export to the Continent, and the increased
supply of coin issued for the dividends, has been
diminished to the extent of about a quarter of a
million sterling. In the other items of the balance
sheet no change of importance has taken place.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A WIFE'S SUFFERINGS-LENIENT PUNISHMENT.--

Richard Coleman, a porter, was charged with the follow-
ing aggravated assault on a female named Ann Donovan.
Police constable Coleman, 153 F, said, that at four that
morning he was on duty on Seven Dials, when he heard
the cries of " Pollee" and " Murder," and on proceeding to
the first floor of the house 16, Lamb's-court, he found the
complainant in her night-dress covered with blood. She
said the prisoner had been beating her about the head with
the poker produced. He then took him into custody.
Ann Donovan, who was stated to be the wife of the man
Donovan who hung himself in "Newgate, after his trial for
throwing his wife out of window at Westminster, said she
had been for some time living with the prisoner, and that
morning about four, on his getting up to go to work
he swore at her and said all he earned in Covent Garden he
would spend in drink. He then stack her on the head with
his fist, and then seized a poker Ind struck her several
blows on the arm and head with it, and kickei her about
the body. She had lost a quantity of blood, and all the
injuries about her head, which were so bad that she could
scarp ely bear her bonnet to touch it, were done with the
poker. He hal often before ill-used her, and on one occa-
sion she hid herself, so as not to be compelled to appear
against him. She had led a dreadful life, and several good
homes had been broken up by the prisoner, whose conduct
was very•bad.
The prisoner's sister said the complainant

very unhandsome expression to her
Pushed her and cut her lip. She lived in the same room
with them.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said' it was quite clear the prisoner had
`brutally used the complainant.
The wife said the prisoner had also brought her to dis-
grace. He had got her two years' imprisonmentor pass-
;f

some more, but she refused to do so, and would sooner throw
herself over Waterloo-bridge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 208., or 14 days.
