Pr°sPeet of additional facilities, there is natu-
otd a reluctance on the part of merchants and
eel's to borrow more than will provide for imme-
arriae, requirements. Meanwhile supplies of gold are
di;:ving, and the market is thereby influenced in the
rlction of greater ease.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTACK ON A SHERIFF'S OFFICER AT THE ALIRMBRA.—
Albert Griffith and Alfred Stone, two waiters at the Al-
hambra, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant
by Fake, 72 C, ono of the warrant officers, charged with
assaulting Henry Nathan, an officer of the Shcx;ff of Mid-
dlesex, he, the said Henry Nathan, being then and there
in the lawful execution cf his duty as such officer.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lawrence for the do-
fence.

Mr. Lem :s said the complainant, an officer of the Sheriff
of Middlesex, now intrusted with a writ of ca sa to execute
at the Alhambra Palace, and having executed it, the defend-
ant amongst others, attempted, and eventually succeeded, in
rescuing the person, and the complainant was grossly ill-
treated by the defendant and others. Ile should simply
show to-day that the defendants were two of the persons
engaged in the assault, and then ask for a remand.
The Complainant said he was bailiff of the Sheriff of
Middlesex. On Tuesday evening last he went to the
Alhambra for the purpose of making a caption in pursuance
of a writ given by the sheriff. Ho made his caption, and
eventually the person was rescued—several persons taking
part in the rescue. 20 or 30 in all—and he was assaulted.
The defendant was amongst the persons. He was seized,
and struck with clenched fists.
Mr. Lawrence said as there was to be a remand ho
would reserve his cross-examination, but he was informed
that the defendants were not even in the room at the time.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said ha
explained to tho person that ho had a warrant.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded tho defendant; taking bail for
their future appearance.
