MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The condition of the Money Market remains un-
altered. Supplies are not quite so abundant, and
the demand has rather increased. A continuance
of this state of affairs is expected until after the
payment of the dividends, when there will no doubt
be larger accounts at command, and by some it is
thought that a farther reduction of the Bank rate
will then probably take place.

At the Bank of England yesterday there was an
influx of £4,000 from Paris.
The Giant's Causeway has arrived from Mel-
bourne with gold to the amount of £53,500.
A circular has been issued by the committee of
investigation of the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway stating that, since their appointment on
the sth March, they have devoted their earnest
attention to the financial position of the company,
but they find it will be impossible to present
any report until they have made fuller investigation.
They make an appeal to the holders of Divisional
Bonds to retain for the present their coupons
maturing on the Ist proximo, and their drawn
Bonds, payable at the same date ; active legal
proceedings have been instituted in America
with a view to the protection of the property.
With reference to the coupons on the Consolidated
Bonds the committee will make further communi-
cation when they have completed the necessary
arrangements, and in the meantime request the
bondholders to return their coupons.
The great failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
(Limited) still exercises much and injurious influence
upon the investing public. It is likely that the
liquidators will be able to bring the winding up to
a more satisfactory conclusion than was at one time
expected. This, and indeed every other fact, in con-
nection with the history and condition of the com-
pany is lucidly set forth in a pamphlet by Mr. W. H.
Wreford, of Old Broad-street, City. Moving in the
inner circle as it were of monetary affairs, and among
men of financial operations, Mr. Wreford had occa-
sion to watch the course of this company in its forty
weeks' career, and to make himself acquainted with
the various questions which have arisen before the
Courts of Law, and between the shareholders and
creditors, or at least that section of the shareholders
called the Defence Association. A complete view of the
whole case may be taken upon the pages of Mr.
Wreford's pamphlet,who has done good service to the
commercial and investing public by its publication.
It contains a report of the great meeting of credi-
tors, the most full and particular that has yet ap-
peared, which will be useful to the shareholders, as
well as the creditors, for future reference.

During the last few days there has been very little
animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets. Sugar has remained at about previous
rates, while in tea scarcely any business has been
transacted. Rice, however, has been in better de-
mand, and owing to the short supplies in the hands
of importers prices have tended upwards. In tallow
the operations have only been to a moderate extent,
without, however, any material alteration in values.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IX RE MALGAUX.

This bankrupt, a lunatic prisoner, and prisoner for debt
in Whitecross prison, was described as of Crosby House,
Bishopsgate
-street, merchant, and promoter of public com-
panies, and to-day an application was made on hie behalf by
Mr. Aldridge that ho might be removed from Whitecross-
street to a lunatic asylum. The proceedings were taken
under the 106th section of 24 and 25 Vic., cap. 134, relat-
ing to lunatic prisoners for debt. The detaining creditor,
Mr. Sydney Smith, who arrested the bankrupt in Oct.,
1866, for £lO3, did not oppose, and the application was
granted. The order for the bankrupt's removal to a
lunatic asylum was then made ont.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREE C.

BEGGING CHILDREN.—P. Delany, 9, J. Piper, 8, R. Yates,
10, and J. Wallace, 12, all decent looking boys, were charged
before Mr. 'l'yrwhitt with bogging in Oxford-street.
C. Barnes, 83 C, proved seeing tho boys, accompanied by
two others a little older, going in turn to different public-
houses and coffee-shops in Oxford-street, for the purpose
of solicithig alms, and ho afterwards saw them stop per-
sons in the street and beg, and he then took them into
custody.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable stated that the
boys said they were led away by tho boys who escaped.
Three of the boys had been bailed out, and were now
better dressed than last night.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the boys said they were not
sent out to beg by anybody, but the two boys took them.

The boys' parents, all respectable looking people, stood
forward.

The mother of Piper said her boy had no occasion to
go out to bog, his father being a sober and industrious
man, and there being a good home. Her boy was at school
till five o'clock.

Delany's father said his boy attended school, and had no
necessity to beg.

Wallace's father said he had a good home, but unfortu-
nately his wife having absconded his boy was left with-
oat any one to look after him while ho was out.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not know what had led the
boys•to act as they had done. He would let them go home
this time, and he hoped their parents would correct them
fcr doing what they had done, but if they were brought
before him again he would send them to prison—a place
which ho did not suppose they would much like.

The boys then left the court with their parents.

THAMES.

SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY. Catherine Redder, a
Dutch woman, was charged with smuggling foreign manu-
factured cigars.
The prisoner was a passenger on board the Waterloo
from Rotterdam, and upon her arrival here on Saturday
night Mr. Thomas Smith, an examining officer of Customs,
received from another and subordinate officer a quantity
of cigars which he said he found in the sleeping berth of
a lady. Smith searched the berth, and discovered 14
large belts between the bed and the mattress. They con-
tained cigars of foreign manufacture. A lady's dress on
the top of the berth was "overhauled and rummaged," in
Customs phrase, and the breast part of the dress was
filled with cigars, which Mr. Smith said would give
the wearer of the dress the appearance of a full-breasted
woman. The female searcher described the prisoner as
having very little bosom. A rush basket was also found
in the berth It contained cigars. The prisoner came on
board yesterday to remove her things, and sho admitted
that the dress with the " false breasts" in the front of it,
the bolts, and the cigars, were her property. Mr. Smith
valued the cigars at 365.
The evidence, having been interpreted to the prisoner by
Mr. George Wintjen, interpreter to the court, she said it
was the first time she had ever done anything in the smug-
gling way, and that an Englishman put her up to
The prisoner was fined 725., the double value of the
cigars, and, in default of payment, was committed to pri-
son for a month.

A SWEDISH SMUGGLER.—Agusto Andersen, a Swedish
sailor, was charged with smuggliug 81b. of manufactured
tobacco.

The prisoner was leaving hie ship off Limehouse-holo at
6 o'clock yesterday evoning, and a Custom-house officer
named Chason searched him, and found in his poeekts 81b.
of tobacco. The prisoner said ho had been to Gottenberg,
and that ho bought the tobacco there. The value and duty
of 81b. of tobacco amounted to 40s.

The prisoner was stated to be the carpenter of the
English ship Mary, trading between London and Gotten-
berg.

The prisoner was fined the single value and duty, 405.,
and in default committed to prison for 14 days.
