a downward tendency.
In the foreign market Turkish Six per Cents.

nearly 41 to 44i 441, and 29/ 29/ respectively. Ita-
lian Five per Cents. are k better, at 561 56i, and

The Honduras Loan is steady, at 86 87.

In the railway market Caledonian are 1 better,
Lancashire 1, Metropolitan I, Midland 1, and

donian, 761 7 ; Great Western, 491 ; Great
Eastern, 371 I ; Great Northern, 107 8 ; ditto (A),

are f better, at 71+ 721. Eries have risen 1, to

The sum of £148,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank on Sturday.
The City of Manchester, from Port Phillip, has
brought £41,500, and the Poonah, from Alexandria,
£lO,OOO.
'I he demand for money at the Bank during last
week was limited. There was scarcely any inquiry
in the open market, the payments of the 4th having
passed. The supply of capital having increased, a
disposition was manifested to work at rather lower
rates, 4f to 4f per cent. being the terms current. In
every direction complaints are made respecting the
scarcity of paper. The private and joint-stock banks
have larger resources than ever, and cannot employ
them at 4f and 4f per cent. For the present it is
not thought that the Bank directors will reduce the
official minimum, at least until the reserve exhibits
a greater increase, but the continuous influx of gold
at that establishment will of course greatly tend to
improve its position.

The failure has been announced of Mr. John
Manners, tin plate manufacturer, of Rugeley, Staf-
fordshire, but the liabilities are small.
According to New York advices an additional
Import duty of 20 per cent. has been imposed on
Venezuela.

On the 2d just. direct steam communication was
to be started from New York to St. Domingo and
the Bay of Samana.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company,
ono of the most useful and efficient of our com-
mercial corporations, has issued its 57th half-yearly
report, ending March 31, 1869. It announces in-
creased business, a satisfactory flotilla in excellent
condition, a whole year of exemption from casual-
ties, and a dividend of 3 per cent. upon the hal-
year. No doubt such a report will be very gratify-
ing to the shareholders.

At a general meeting of the shareholders of the
Ceara Gas Company (Limited), the accounts for
the past year were presented, the interim dividend
to the 30th June at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum confirmed, and a further dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. per annum declared for the
half year ending 31st December, 1868.
An extraordinary general meeting of the Duna-
burg and Witepsk liailway Company (Limited)
has b.en convened for the 21st inst., when a re-
solut:on will be submitted empowering the directors
to borrow sums not exceeding £500,000 in all for
the purposes of the company.

Advices from Toronto, Canada, dated the 23d
ult., state that the excitement attending the failure
of Royal Canadia❑ Bank is subsiding. Its bills
are selling at a discount of about 13 per cent. The
directors have issued a circular urging billholders
and depositors not to be alarmed, as there is not the
!slightest danger of loss to them. The statement of
the affairs of the bank for the month ending the
15th of May is :—Total liabilities, $1,930,401; total
assets, $3,300,331. There is no run on any of the
Other banks.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CA'ITION TO CAB OWNERS AND DRIVERS.— George
Downie, a cab proprietor, of Buckingham Cottage, West-
minster, and William Martin, a driver in his employ, ap-
peared before Mr.Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals for cruelty to a horse, the former for sending it out,
and the latter for working it.
Mr. Octavius Knox, of Limerick, but at present re-
siding at Waterloo-crescent, Dover, said that on the
24th of last month ho hired a cab driven by the defen-
dant Martin, from the Haymarket Theatre. Oa getting to
Picca !illy, he found that the horse was very lame, and he
stopped the man, and asked him for his number, and the
man gave him one which did not correspond with the
number on the cab; and on his telling him that it did not,
he said that there was some mistake about it; and in re-
ply to his question why ho drove such a horse, he said ho
was obliged to drive whatever horse he could get. Ho
consequently reported the case to the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Joseph Dobie, officer of the society, said that in con-
sequence of the complaint lodged at the Secretary's office ,
he saw Downie, and told him that there had been a
complaint made against him, and he admitted that his
driver had spoken to him about the horse having been
complained of, and said that if the horse was lame it had
been in the same state for some months.

Mr. Cherry, the Government veterinary surgeon, said
the horse was very lame, and tuffered great pain.

The defendant Downie said that if he had boon aware
;he horse was lame he would not have worked it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Downie 20s. and Martin ss.

THAMES.

A FORGIVING IVO:KAN.—Patrick Sullivan, an Irish
shoemaker, a drunken, dirty, dissipated fellowlaged 50
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged by his wife Julia,
with beating and kicking her in a savage manner. Her
face was covered with bruises, her eyes swollen and
blackened, and she was in a weakly condition from loss
of blood. Although she had been so cruelly beaten by het
husband, who did nut deny his brutality, she wished to
forgive him, and would not give any evidence against him.
Mr. Paget would not relieve her from giving her testi-
mony for some time, and when he did so he told the pri-
soner that ho hal illused his wife in a very scandalous
manner, and that if ho dared to lay his hands upon his
wife again except in the way of kindness ho would not
allow her to withdraw from the case, but would punish
the prisoner with the utmost rigour of the law, and sen-
tence hint to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Ile passed a severe censure on the prisoner for kicking
and beating his wife. It was cowardly and unmanly, and
if it was ever repeated it was his (Ur. Paget's) firm de-
termination to punisu him to the utmost extent of his
power. He ordered the prisoner to leave the dock directly,
to take his wife home and treat her kindly.
