COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The business transacted to-day was mostly sales,
buying stock being carried on to a very trifling ex-
tent. The uncertainty of the result of to-morrow's
parlour meeting, although to a great extent pro-
vided for, tends to check general business. The
feature in the Railway markei has been the drop of
1 per cent. in Metropolitans, and being the price
of the contango. American Five-Twenties are firm
at the prices quoted ; and in the Discount market,
although money is abundant, the pric3 of yester-
day is still maintained.

RAID UPON A BETTING ROUSE.

At the Marylebone Police Court yesterday
Christopher Locke, tobacconist, of 24, Seymour-
place, Bryanstone-square, was brought up on a
warrant, granted by Colonel Edmond Yeamans
Wilcott Henderson, Chief Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police, charged with keeping and
using his house as a betting house, and betting with
persons resorting thereto ; John Keane, grocer,
Charles Hall, potman, Wiliiam Rodway, carpenter,
and John Trewen, omnibus conductor, were charged
with being found on the same premises, supposed
for the purpose of betting.
Mr. E. Lewis, of Marlborough-street, defended
the prisoner:.
Mr. Superintendent Draper said he had a war-
rant for the apprehension of Locke, and to search
his house. About three o'clock that afternoon h.:
entered the shop, and saw Locke behind the counter
and the other defendants in front. As far as the
defendants, with the exception of the prisoner
Locke, was concerned, ho had nothing to say.
Locke took up a book from a shelf under the coun-
ter, and witness seized it from his hand. He found
it contained some hundreds of entries regarding the
late Grand National Steeplechase. lie found
a number of other books in reference to other races
coming off, with the price of the " olds" affixed
to the horses. He also found books dated so far
back as 1863, on the backs of which were " Mr.
C. Locke, commission agent." On searching the
lace hundreds of race cards were found in the
house. On the cards were the words " commis-
sions executed."

Mr. D'Eyncourt said as it was late (the prisoners
were not brought in till five o'clock) he should
adjourn the case till to-morrow. He allowed four
prisoners to be at large on their own recognisance
to appear again, but Locke was detained in
custody.
OUTRAGE BY BETTING INIEN.--George Townsend,
commission agent, William Thomas, lodging-house
keeper, and William Mackridge, jeweller, all well
known as betting men, were charged with stealing
from inside the shop, 5, Edgware-road, a box con-
taining about 55., the property of George Richard
Glennie, the proprietor. They were also charged
with committing a most violent and murderous as-
sault upon the said Richard Glennie.
Mr. Wilding defended the prisoners Thomas and
Mockridge, and Mr. Johnson defended Townsend.
The prosecutor Glennie was in too dangerous a
state to be in attendance.
Mr. Cartwright Davis, who happened to be in
Glennie's shop at the time, gave evidence of the
assault. He stated that they entered the shop and
demanded money from Glennie, who went out, got
some change, and paid Thomas. All the prisoners
immediately attacked Glennie, hitting him with
their fists. 'I hey went behind the counter to him,
knocked him down, and kicked him in the temple.
Some of them tried to poke their umbrellas in
Glennie's eyes. Witness was also assaulted. The
prisoners took a money-box from the counter, and,
having emptied it, threw the box at GI-Iconic.
In cross-examination, he stated that he was not
in the habit of betting, that he was not mixe • d up
with Glennie in betting transactions, but visited his
shop to look at the papers.
Dr. Kirby, the divisional surgeon, said he exa-
mined Gleunie and found he had a very severe cut
on the left temple. It was a deep cut to the bone.
It bled a great deal. The wound might have been
caused by a kick. It was a very serious wound, and
he had an attack of congestion of the brain, and was
in some danger. Mockridge had also a severe
wound on his forehead.
Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoners for a
week.

Her Majesty the Queen held the first Drawing
Room of the season this day at Buckingham Palace. All
the Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, and Cabinet Minis-
ters were present.
M. Hector Berlioz, the composer, died yesterday.
After a long illness, he expired almost imperceptibly and
without suffering. Although ho has been bof ore the public
for upwards of forty years, to was but 65 years of age.
We regret to learn bow delicate the health is of
Elihu B. Washburne, of Illinois. For some days he had
been confined to his bed seriously ill, but by the latest
accounts the symptoms were morn favourable. There are
few men in Congress who could less be spared.
