tIONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Discount Market is inactive, comparatively
few bills being in circulation. The rates of the
brokers are tending in an easier direction, 4* per
cent, being the general quotation for trade bills,
and 3* and 4 per cent. for bankers' short-dated
acceptances. The floating capital of the market iS
exceedingly abundant, and there is a rumour that
Italy is in negotiation with a large financial house
in the city for the introduction of a new loan to pay
the war expenses, and assist in arranging her pre-
sent affairs. The amount required is stated to be
£16,000,000, but little hope is entertained that it
can be entirely raised in this country.
• The Stock Exchange markets present a firmer
appearance this morning, and a better feeling is
apparent. Speculators have been repurchasing,
thinking that several of the railway and finance
shares have been forced below their real value.
Consols have improved * per cent., to 89* i for
money, and to 89* * for the account.
The sum of £5,000 in gold was taken to the
Bank of England yesterday.
The report of the directors of the Demerara

£584 from last account, the available balance is
£7,586, of which the:preference dividend will ab-
. sorb £4,025, leaving £3,562, and out of this sum
the directors recommend a dividend on the original
stock at- the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, carry-
ing forward £1,536 to the current half-year's
account.
The public sales of Indigo have continued to pro-
gress with considerable animation, at slightly en-

°f business has been done. Sugars have remained
and previous prices have been with difficulty
Izaintained. Coffee has been in fair demand, and
large quantity of both plantation and native Cey-
'l°ll offered at public sale found buyers at fully
late rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

rrITRING A FORGED ORDER.—Two men named Perry
and Brown were charged before Mr. Alderman Besley with
uttering a forged order, with a view to defraud Messrs.
Bamford and Co., silk and woollen drapers, in the City.
Evidence having been adduced exculpating Brown, he
was discharged.

Alderman Besley committed Perry for trial, and refused
to accept bail for his appearance at the sessions.

STEALING CitAPE.--SOhn and Wm. Moreland, brothers,
were charged with stealing 126 yards of black crape from
30 Bread-street.

They were committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

REFUSING TO SUPPORT A WIFE.—John M'Cartby, a
coachman, living in Grosvenor Mews, was brought before
Mr. Knox charged with refusing and neglecting to support
his wife Eliza, who, since the 21st of June last, has been
chargeable to the parish of St. George, Hanover-square.
Mr. George Badderley, assistant-overseer of St. George,
Hanover-square, said that on the 21st of June last he ad-
mitted the prisoner's wife to the workhouse, she being at
the time very ill. The prisoner came to the house with
him, and promised to take her away as soon as she re-
covered a little. When the wife was discharged by the
medical officer he caused inquiries to be made for the pri-
soner, but he was unable to get any trace of him till last
night, when he was taken into custody, a warrant having
been obtained for the purpose. He had made inquiries
amongst the prisoner's relatives, and heard a bad account
of him. The wife was still chargeable to the parish, and
he (Mr. Badderley) believed her illness was caused by the
prisoner's cruelty.
The prisoner asked whether there was not an under-
standing that he was to take his wife away when he got a
home for her?

Badderley said there was no understanding of the
sort, and that the home which the prisoner had when his
wife was admitted to the workhouse was sold off by the
prisoner before he went away.
Mr. Turner, officer of the parish, said he took the prisoner
into custody in a publichouse, when he said the reason why
he had not been for his wife was because he had been out
of work.

The prisoner said.he was willing to take his wife away

Mr. Knox said the charge against the prisoner was that
of leaving the parishioners to support his wife instead of
supporting her himself. The prisoner would be committed
for a month with hard labour.

ENDANGERING LIFE IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS.—William
Colfox, a rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr.
Knox with throwing stones in iKensington-gardens, to the
danger of the passengers.

Henry Howes, park constable, said that while on duty in
Kensington-gardens he saw the prisoner and two other
lads lying under a tree. As soon as they, thought he
(witness) was out of sight they began to throw stones and
pieces of iron at the chestnut trees. He knew the prisoner
and the two other lads as daily in the park, and they never
did any work. It 'was the third case he had had that week,
and children playing about were placed in great danger.
Mr. Knox said he himself saw a person nearly killed in
the gardens a few days ego. If the prisoner did not leave
off such practices he would some day be standing in the
dock on a more serious charge than that of throwing stones.
The prisoner would have to pay a fine of 205., or 14 days,
he (the magistrate) being determined to stop the nuisance
if he could.

THAMES.
FURIOUS DRINTNG.—WiIIiam Aldridge, a tradesman
was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk,
and furiously driving a horse and cart in the Bow-road, to
the common danger of passengers.
George Whitelock, a police constable, No. 387 K, stated
that he was on the steps of the station-house in the Bow-
road, and saw the prisoner driving a horse and cart in
a most furious and reckless manner along the road and
knock over a man who was stunned. The prisoner was
called upon to stop, but he continued to urge his horse for
some time until he was stopped. The prisoner was in-
toxicated and not able to take care of his horse and cart.
The rate was 10 miles an hour at least.

The prisoner said he was intoxicated and was not aware
that he was going at the rate stated by the constable.
Mr. Paget said it was most improperjand dangerous for a
druaken man to drive at all, and more especially to drive a
horse and cart in a crowded public road, which was con-
stantly thronged with passengers, horses, and vehicles.
The prisoner had been guilty of a very serious offence,
and one for wkich he could not adequately punis)a him in
the present state of the law. He should inflict the full
penalty of 40s.
The flue was paid.

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH TO FLOORS
CASTLE.—It is understood that his royal highness will pay
a private visit to the Duke of Roxbitrghe on Monday, to
enjoy a few day's fishing in the Tweed. It is expected
that his royal highness will stay at Floors Castle till his
departure for Glasgow, whore, ou tho 18th, he is to inau-
gurate a Ntattio of the late Prince con39li,
