COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A. very moderate demand prevails for discount
accommodation. There are no periodical engage-
ments just now falling due ; and as trade is some-
what inactive, requirements of the commercial com-
munities are not numerous. The rates continue
easy at 4 to 4i per cent. for the best description of
short-dated paper.
There is little animation in the Stock Exchange
markets, but prices generally show firmness.

clared early in November on the estate of Charles
Joyce and Co., making a distribution in all of
4s. 6d. in the pound.
The movements of the precious metals during the
past week have been on a rather increased scale.
The imports, which have amounted to about
£78,116, have included £5,000 from New York by
the China, £3,700 by the Fulton, £12,400 by the
Edinburgh, and £2,000 by the City of London.
The Panama, from Vera Cruz, has brought
£23,300 ; the Surat, from Alexandria, £16,809 ;
and about £14,907 in silver has been received from
the Continent. The exports have been £60,936 to
the Brazils by the Rhone ; and there have been re-
mittances to the Continent through private sources
estimated at £342,549, the total amounting to
£403,465.
The directors of the Demerara Railway Company
have issued their report to be presented to the pro-
prietors on the 19th inst. The revenue account for
the half-year, ended 30th June last, exhibits a net
balance of £7,002, against £5,331 in. 1865 ; this
amount, added to the balance mentioned ill the last
report, of £584, gives £7,587, of which the prefer-
ence dividend will absorb £4,025, leaving £3,562,
out of which the directors recommend a dividend on
the original stock at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum,
carrying forward £1,536 to the current half-year's
account.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE. 1
Ax IspusTßiots PICKPOCKET.—Thomas Bryan was t
charged before Mr. Alderman Abbiss with picking pockets.
Police-constable Obee, of the City force, said that yes-
terday, about half-past 12 o'clock, he saw the prisoner
loitering about the Mansion-house, and knowing that he
was a bad character he followed him through Leonard-
street
into Gracechurch-street. He saw him put his hand
into a gentleman's pocket, but he did not take anything
out. He had an outside coat, which was dexterously ar-
ranged so as to conceal his right hand. He saw him make
several similar attempts during the day, and in Grace-
ehurch-street he saw him take a cigar case out of a -
gentleman's coat pocket. He hailed the gentleman, but he
could not make him hear. He then seized the prisoner,
who dragged him into an ale shop, but with the assistance
of a gentleman he detained him until one of his brother
officers arrived, and he Was then taken to the station. He
said that the cigar case had been in his possession for 21 I
months, and that it had been given to him by the captain
of a vessel in which he returned from Now Z nlatifi to this
country, and on board of which he was employed as a
baker. He asked the prisoner how many cigars there were
in the case, and he said four, but there were only two.
The prisoner gave an address at Brentford, but he had had
no time 'to make inquiries there. The prisoner was well
known to him and his brother officers as a pickpocket, but t
he was not aware of any previous eharge against him. 1
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded till
Thursday. • 1
• WHOLESALE THEFT.—John Young was charged with
stealing different articles, the property of Mr. Brock, hard-
ware dealer, at 10, Houndsditch.l
Jonas Smith said he was assistant at Mr. Brock's, and
that the prisoner, who dealt in china and other articles,
was a customer, and was in the habit of calling at the shop
once a week. He came yesterday about half-past 3
o'clock, and asked for half dozen waiters. He suspected
him of having stolen some articles previously, and he 1
watched him closely. He saw him put a rug over
some goods on the counter, and he immediately
took some knives and decanter corks with
plated tops. He gave the prisoner the change for
the waiters, and as he was about to leave he stopped him
and took the articles in question from under the rug. Tho
prisoner begged to be let off as it was his first offence, but
witness-gave him into custody. The value of the knives
was £3 55., and the corks Bs. The prisoner refused to
give his address, but on being searched it was found on a -
card ; it was at a place at Penge. He went there with the
officer and the prisoner, and they discovered some tea-pots
and other articles which he identified as the property of
his master, and which he knew had not been sold. There
were other articles, but he could not swear to them. The
prisoner made no remark at the time respecting the
articles.

The evidence was partly corroborated by the police.
constable who took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner pleaded guilty and was committed for trial

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING A POLICEMAN.—Harriet Harrison, servant, and
Mary Ann Leary, machinist, were placed at the bar
charged with stealing a watch from Police-constable
Edwards Marks, 125, of the Y division.
The prosecutor said he had been on leave of absence,
and last night he was returning home from Lambeth, on
his way to Kentish-town, where his division was sta-
tioned. He got as far as Bloomsbury, when he met the
two girls at the bar, who asked to stand treat—rum, for
preference. (Laughter.) Having done so he came out of
the house and had a little conversation with the ladies—

(laughter)—when one of them went away, and just at that
moment he missed his watch, and saw the other stooping
down to adjust her crinoline. He told her he had lost his
watch, but she denied all knowledge of the matter, and
while they were talking the other girl returned, and he
took hold of them both and called loudly for the police.
It was some time before a constable came—(laughter)—
but when he arrived—(renewed laughter)—he gave the
girls into custody. Of course he had not found his watch.

(Laughter.)
The prisoners said they knew nothing of the watch ; ho
was walking along when he spoke to them, and having
partaken of some refreshment with him, they were about
bidding him good night when he charged them with
stealing his watch.
Mr. Flower said he should remand both prisoners for a
week.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET:
TREE T
FATAL PuctrusTic ENCOUNTER.—John Young, of NO. 9,
High-street, Bloomsbury, bootcloser, was brought before
Mr. Knox charged with causing the death of Edward
Wilmott,.at the Queen's Head public-house, Queen's Head-
court, Windmill-street, by striking and beating him.
Robert Bennett, of No. 5, Dean-street, Oxford-street,
said,—l was at Shaw's public-house, Queen4s Head-court,
at half-past 9on Tuesday night last, having purchased a
ticket to go and see a sparring match. I paid 6d. for the
ticket. I went upstairs and saw the prisoner and another
lad sparring and knocking each other about. It continued
for an hour. They had a scrambling fall, and the other
lad could not come up-to time. Shaw came in, and said,

'Now, gents, it's all over." The other lad got UP,
and wanted to fight again, but Shaw would not
permit it, and I then went downstairs. The
lads fell together several times. While having a glass of
ale at the bar I heard that the other lad had fainted, and
went np and saw him lying on the table, and the persons
used the usual moans for restoring a person who had
fainted, sprinkling water in his face and giving him brandy
with a spoon. This was about 20 minutes alter the spar-
ring was over. That is all I know about what occurred
that night. I attended an inquest last night on the body
of the deceased, and saw his dead body at Charing-cross
Hospital. There was blood then about the deceased's
mouth and nostrils, but there was none on Tuesday night.
I did not see any bruises about either of the lads, but
tlpy were flushed.
Inspector Silverton, of the A division, said—l have had

the inquiries to make in this matter. Last night the pri-
soner came with his father to the Vine-street station, and
was then charged.

Mr. Knox (to the witness Bennett)—Did you at any
time while the sparring was going on see the gloves off ?
Bennett—l did not, and the deceased seemed to make
very light of the matter.

Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—l shall be obliged to re-
mand you. lam sorry the affair has had such a lament-
able and melancholy ending. I will, however, take good
bail for your recognisance.
The prisoner was then remanded on two bails of £5O
each.
