solidated, 44 to 41 ex div. ; Londo and County,

The sum of £lO,OOO in sovereigns was withdrawn
from the Bank on Saturday for the Cape.
The explanation of the recent loan obtained in
Paris by the Viceroy of Egypt on Treasury Bonds
said to consist in the fact that these bonds are
the private property of the Viceroy and several
members of his family, and do not constitute
any new issue. The Government, it is added,
" occasionally obtains small temporary advances,
like every other Government, but no new negociable
document of any kind has been created since the
last loan."

The important question of the resuscitation of
the American cotton trade by the introduction of
Chinese labour into the Southern States continues
to attract increasing attention.
A first dividend of 2s. 6.1. in the pound will be

Holders of Metropolitan Railway Extension
Stock who have converted it into ordinary stock
have the right of reconverting it into extension
stock up to the 10th inst. The following clause
(No. 19) contained in the Act passed on the 26th
July will explain the mode of procedure, condi-
tions, &c.:—" And whereas by the twenty-fourth
section of the Metropolitan Railway Act, 1868,'
Power was granted to the holders of the exten-
sion stock to convert at any time previous to the
lst day of October, 1868, the amount held by them
in the extension stock into ordinary stock of the
Company upon paying to the company for each
£lOO of such extension stock so to be converted the
sum of £2, and certain holders of the extension
stock did accordingly convert the same into ordi-
nary stock, and it is just that the persons who
have so converted their extension stock iut3 ordi-
nary stock should, if they desire so to do, be able
to reconvert such ordinary stock into extension
stock, and to receive back a portion of the
amount which they paid to the company upon
such conversion. it therefore enacted as
follows :—(a) Any person who so converted
extension stock held by him into ordinary
Stock, and who at any time previous to the
10th day of August, 1869, shall produce to the
company the certificate for the same ordinary stock
still standing in his own name, may require that
the name be reconverted into extension stock ; (b)
the directors shall, upon the delivery of the certi-
este for the said ordinary stock, issue to the person
Whose stock shall be so reconverted certificates for
extension stock of the same amount, and shall pay
°lzit of the capital of the company to the person
Wh °se stock shall be so reconverted, at the rate of
°pBo Pound for every one hundred pounds of such
„ock (c) the ordinary stock so reconverted, and
'u certificates thereof so delivered up, shall be

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-71is Day.

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN A B7ER-BROP.—Richard Russell, son., aged
50, and Richard Russell, jun., 30, were charged with steal-
ing wearing apparel and other property, worth £3l, be-
longing to Caroline Dunn, a widow, who keeps a beer-
house in High-street, Whitechapel. The robbery was
committed while Mrs. Dunn was absent from home on
Thursday afternoon last. The prisoners were in the house
while Mrs. Dunn was absent—the older Russell in the tap-
room, and the son in the upper part of the house cleaning
a cow heel. The property was stolen from Mrs. Dunn's
bedroom. A former conviction against the younger Rus-
sell was proved, and after some evidence the prisoners were
remanded,

BARNAUS BLOCK AND HIS SMEN.—Elizabeth Moss, a
woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Paget charged
with stealing a new coat, the property of Barnabus Block,
a sailor. The sailer met the prisoner in Rateliff-highway.
Lie was in her company several hours and missed her bud-
denly and his coat also. She told hint, when she saw him
again, that it was pawned for lOs., and he gave her th2.t
sum to redeem it, but instead of doing so sho retained the
money, and left the coat in the possession of the pawn-
broker, who now produced it.

Mr. Paget discharged the woman, and ordered that the
coat should bo given up to Block, at the same time giving
an opinion that he was very appropriately named, and
that he was a very great blockhead, first in forming such
bad company as he had done, and next in parting with
his money to the prisoner.
Mr. George Henry Wood, pawnbroker, who produced
the coat, made strong objections to the restoration of the
coat. He said that sailors Ovens iu the practice of
permitting loose women, like the prisoner, to
pawn their clothes when they had no money,
for purposes to which he need not allude, and then charged
them with stealing the property when they got sober.
This was a case of that kind. Th 3 sailor, Block, indulged
himself, and while tipsy gave her his coat to pawn, and
he then gave her into custody when ho became sober.
Mr. Paget said the seaman was a foolish fellow, but he
had positively sworn that he had never given the prisoner
the coat.
Mr. Wood—He had no money, and she took the
coat with his permission to satisfy the demand she had
upon him. This is known to be done every hour.
Mr. Paget thought that pawnbrokers ought not to re-
ceive sailors' clothes off the frail women of Itatcliff-higb-
way and Shadwell. The prisoner never had any property
in the coat. Sho had no right to pawn it, and the coat must
be given up to the sailor.
Mr. Wood complied with the magistrate's decision, and
Baruabus Block put on the coat in the court.
