THAMES.

PnovocATloN on NOT.—James Potts, a tall, well-
dressed man, about 30 years of ago, with a face embrowned
by exposure to the sun in a tropical climate was brought
before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Frederick
Webber, a butcher, dwelling in North-street, White-
chapel.

The complainant, a Genuan, in broken English, said that
ho was passing along Greenfield-street, Whitechapel, and
was met by the prisoner, who struck him on the face with
his fist, and knocked him down. One of his teeth was
loosened, and he bled very much.
Henry Best said he saw the prosecutor with a carpet
bag in one hand and an umbrella in the other, talking to
a lady. The prisoner knocked him down and kicked him.
The prisoner, in defence, said that he saw the prosocutor
taking liberties of an indecent nature with his wife, and
knocked him down. He had been home three weeks from
sea, and did not know who the prosecutor was, and never
saw him before.

The prisonor's wife, a very respectable young woman,
was called into court, and Webber said ho did not know
her. He was talking to a female, but it was not Mrs.
Potts. Ho knew her before. Sho asked him where he
was going, and ho said to her "What do you want ? "

While he was saying this the prisoner came up and knocke
him down. The woman he was talking to came into his
shop every day.
John Chester, a police-constable, No. 23 H, took the
prisoner into custody at No. 23, Greenfield-street, and he
said he had knocked down the prosecutor for insulting his
wife. The German was bleeding from the mouth.
Ellen Briar, the wife of Frederick, an engineer, said she
was carrying home a pint of beer for her husband's supper
between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night,
and met the complainant,whorn she had known two years,
and while having a little friendly conversation with him
the prisoner crossed the road and knocked him down, and
then attempted to kick him. She said to the prisoner what
are you doing ? The prisoner replied he has insulted my
wife. She said that is impossible, he has soon no other
female but me. The prisoner said if you want another
blow you can have one too. She said No, I am net used to
such articles. The prisoner was then given into custody.
Mr. Paget was satisfied the prisoner was mistaken or
labouring under some delusion. The prisoner had com-
mitted a wanton and brutal act upon an unoffending mite.
He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months
and kept to hard labour.

COMMERML INTELLIGENCE,

TwELym o'CLocic.

There is no alteration to notice in the state of the
money market ; it has opened for the week, as it
closed on Saturday, very quietly, both as regards
supply and demand.
Gold to the amount of £15,000 in sovereigns was
withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday for trans-
mission to Egypt.
At an adjourned meeting of the shareholders of
the London Tavern Company, held to-day, the
report of the directors proposed a dividend at the
rate of 10 per cent. for the half-year ended the 31st
December.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have further advanced to 31 33, and the Consoli-
dated Mortgage Bonds k, to 24k 25k.
The directors of Reuter's Telegram Company
have issued their report for twelve months, ending
the 31st of December, 1866. It states that the net
profits after payment of current expenses, and after
deducting rebate on unexpired subscriptions, and
writing off £2OO from the preliminary expenses,
amount to £9,451 7s. 11d., including £1,574 6s. 11d.
brought forward from the last account. As the
additional capital issued for carrying out the
lianoverian concessions has hitherto boen unpro-
ductive, while at the same time the shareholders of
the first and second issues are equally entitled to
Participate in the entire profits of the business, it has
been thought right to merge into the general ac-
count the sum set apart last year as the basis of a
reserve fund. The total amount available for dis-
tribution will thus be £11,451 7s. 11d., from which
the directors declare a dividend at the rate of 10
per cent, per annum, free of income-tax, upon the
total amount of capital called up, which will ab-
sorb Z 10,282 Bs. 10d., leaving £1,168 19s. ld. to
oil carried forward. The continued difficulty in
finding capital on credit for even the most remune-
rative undertakings will render another call of £5
Per share on the second issue of shares necessary
at an earlier period in order to enable the company
do meet its engagements connected with the Hanover
cable.

Advices received this morning from the principal
Manufacturing districts report that during the
past week there has been little improvement to notice
the general prospect of trade. At Manchester
ullaineas in all departments has remained very inac-
tive, and owing to the fall in the value of cotton
quotations for cloths and yarns have given way. The
wool trade of Leeds,Bradford, and Huddersfield has
been very quiet, and few operations have been re-
Ported in spring fabrics. At Leicester and Notting-
ham there has been little alteration in hosiery and
lace trades, while at Birmingham there has been in-
creased dulness in most branches of business. In
the iron trade of Wolverhampton and its immediate
neighbourhood, however, there has been a more
hopeful feeling, and the future prospects of the
trade are considered to be very encouraging.
An issue of 4,000,000 florins (1339,030) 4} per
cent• obligations of the Dutch Indian Railway Com-
pany has been announced by Messrs. Horstrnan and
b°l and Mr. J. Gerstenberg. The amount is 4,000
