NONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
29th inst., is of a rather satisfactory character. The
bullion has been increased by about a quarter of
a million sterling, owing to the receipts from
Australia. The reserve of notes has also been
largely augmented. The other securities, how-
ever, show a large addition, owing to the pre-
parations made for the half-yearly payments at
this season, and the advances which have been
obtained on stock. In the Government Securities
there is also a slight increase. The other items of
the balance-sheet, and the changes they present,
are shown in the subjoined table :

A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of
Messrs. Alexiadi, Detta, and Co., Greek merchants,
who suspended last week with direct liabilities
amounting to £84,447, and assets representing
£99,991, exclusive of the private properties of the
partners in Turkey and elsewhere. After some
discussion, it was resolved that the firm should
continue to wind up the estate for the general
benefit of all parties concerned._

During the last few days there has been only a
moderate amount of business transacted in the
markets for foreign and colonial produce. Tea, at
public sale, barely sustained former rates, and
sugar, coffee, and spices have remained at about
previous values. Rico has been inactive, and
rather cheaper, while a moderate business has been
recorded in saltpetre and tallow, at late quotations.
Notwithstanding the provision that will have to
be made for the payments due at the end of the
mouth, the demand for money continues moderate.
The quotations, however, although presenting no
change of importance, are a shade firmer.

There were no bullion operations of importance
at the Bank of England yesterday.
The North Briton, which sailed for Quebec yes-
terday, conveyed £49,200.

Rather more firmness was again apparent in the
Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the sales
reached 12,000 bales, 4,000 of which were for ex
portation and on speculation.
The English Stock market to-day has been un-
favourably influenced by some sales
,qn speculative
account, as well as for transfer, but the business
recorded is not extensive. Consols are 891 for
money, and 891 for the account. The New Three
per Cents. realise 881 1, and the Reduced An-
nuities, 881 Z. The 5 per Cent. India Loan con-
tinued heavy at 98Z ; and India Bonds at 18s. to
14s. discount ; Exchequer Bills, March, are flat at
10s. discount, and the June ditto at par to 3s. dis.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market has con-
tinued of a limited character, with little change of
importance to record in rates. Old Turkish 6 per
Cents. brought 711 72 ; and Loan of 1858, 561 571 ;
Mexican Stock has declined to 228 4 ; Sardinian
realise 781; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. 861.
Considerable depression has prevailed in the
.i,,hilway Share Market, and the small business
transacted has resulted in a decline in most instances
of about Ito 1 per cent. Great Northerns, Mid-
lands, Great Westerns, and South Easterns have
receded ss. ; Bristol and Exeter, 10s. ; and Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s.

In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices
have also shown a downward movement ; Great
Luxembourg declined 55.; Grand Trunk of Canada
£1 ; Great Western of Canada ss.

Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have
continued very dull, and prices are nominally un-
altered.

-POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

* MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBING A GENTLEMAN IN ROTTEN-ROW.—Elizabeth
Johnson, address refused, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with stealing the pocket-book of Mr. Charles Leicester
Bayly, gentleman, 129, Mount-street, Grosvenor•square.
Mr. Bayly said—Last evening about seven o'clock I was
leaning over the railings in Hyde-park,
talking to a lady
on horseback, and just as the lady was about to ride away,
I felt a t ouch at my pocket. I turned round and told a man
who was close to me that he had got it, but he denied it,
and asked me to search him. While doing so my attention
was directed to the prisoner by the crowd, and a gentleman
who had just before been speaking to me said the prisoner,
who had moved away, had dropped it. I went after her,
picked up the pocket-book, and gave her in charge. The
book contains valuable memoranda (relative to betting
transactions).

Prisoner—l never took the book at all. The man throw
it where it was found.

Mr. William Bennett, gentleman, of No. 7, Albemarle-
street, said—l was riding in Rotten-row yesterday, and
went up and spoke to Mr. Bayly, and while doing so he
said to a man, " You have robbed me of my pocket-book ;"
and then I saw the prisoner, whD I have no doubt was one
of the clique, with the pocket-book under her arm. I
Walked some distance after her, and she then dropped the
book. I gave my horse in charge to a person and detained
the Prisoner.
Sergeant Edwards said the prisoner was tried at this
court in 1851 for picking a pocket in Oxford-street, and
committed for a month by Mr. Beadon.
Prisoner—l did not take it, but I was with the man.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall commit you for three months, and
You may think yourself very fortunate.
It appears that the Row was very full at the time, as is
11sually the case after a drawing-room, and that the light-
fingered fraternity were busy at their avocation,

lIOUSE OF LOBDS.

Peers Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,

Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford,

and other Peers.
Judges Present—Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Baron Wilde,
Justice Wightman, Justice Blackburn, Justice Williams,

and Justice Byles.
The Lord Chief Baron Pollock sat on the right, and Mr.
Justice Wightman on the kft of the Lord Chancellor.
BICKHOITSE V. EENONI.

This was an appeal by way of writ of error from a deci-
sion of the Exchequer Chamber, reversing a judgment of
the Court of Queen's Bench, for injury done to the plaintiff's
house, caused by the defendant taking away the pillars of his
mine under the plaintiff's house in 1850, which caused a
"true" or subsidence.

The defendant pleaded-Ist, that action could not lie till
damage was sustained, and that no damage was caused till
1856 ; 2d, prescription. The Court of Queen's Bench sus-
tained the pleas of the defendant. The case is fully reported
in Law Journal 27, and at page 622 of Blackburn and
Ellis's Reports.

The plaintiff appealed to and obtained from the Exchequer
Chamber a decision in his favour, and the defendant pre-
sented this appeal. The plaintiff is proprietor and occupier
of houses, and the defendant is owner and proprietor of
mines and minerals worked at Westbuckland, in the county
of Durham.

Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., is now being heard for the appel-
lant, and had not concluded when we went to press.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE C. T. CHEESMAN.

This bankrupt had carried on a very extensive business
at Brighton, as a coal merchant, and the balance-sheet, by
Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, shows debts £1,793.
To creditors, secured, £2,170 ; assets, good debts, £619 ;
doubtful, £239; property £1,259; ditto in the hands of
creditors £BB4.

This was an adjourned meeting for consideration of the
certificate, but in consequence. of the inability of some par-
ties to attend an adjournment was taken by consent.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE DOUST.

This bankrupt was described as of Pomeroy-place, New-
cross, omnibus proprietor, and came up for his certificate,
which was granted, of the second-class. Debts, £914. To
creditors holding security, £179 ; assets, property, £202 ;
ditto in the hands of creditors, £80; deficiency April, 1850,
£502.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fame.)
IN RE EEHREND AND NICHOLS.

These bankrupts were described as of St. Mary Axe,
East India and general merchants, and this was a meeting
for their last examination; but Messrs. Brown and Dubois,
accountants to the estate under the sanction of the Court,
not having been able to complete the accounts, an adjourn-
ment was taken by consent.

SECONDARIES COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a jury.)

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISON-
MENT-JOHNSON Y. GROSSMITH.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at
£5OO in an assault and false imprisonment case, defendant
having suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Butler Rigby, for the plaintiff, said his client was
clerk to Mr. Kinder and Mr. Webb, and defendant the well-
known perfumer of Newgate-street. Upon the 15th May
last plaintiff was sent by Mr. Webb (who was acting for a
client named O'Brien) to collect a sum of £l5 from defen-
dant, a letter demanding payment of the money having been
sent the day previously. When plaintiff went into the shop
defendant rushed down stairs and struck plaintiff several
blows, saying, "You swindling vagabond, you have come
here to extort money." A police-constable was then sent
for and plaintiff taken to the station, and charged with
attempting to extort money under false pretences. After
three hours' detention the charge was withdrawn and plain-
tiff set free, and now sought to recover damages for such
unjustifiable conduct.

Plaintiff was called and proved these Ras. In cross-
examination by Mr. Henry James he said that defendant
walked to the station-house, and that he (defendant) was
not called after by any boys—nor was he much stared at.
Mr. H. James then urged that O'Brien's claim was a false
one, and that defendant had not been visited with vindictive
damages.

Mr: Grossmith was called and said he had been nearly
pestered to death with applications from O'Brien. As
Webb's name was not in the law list witness did not believe
plaintiff came from any attorney, and therefore sent for a
constable, and denied he called the man a vagabond.
The learned counsel having severally addressed the jury,
the learned Secondary in summing up said that parties
should be very careful how they put the criminal law in
force, and no doubt defendant had acted very wrongly. It
was for the jury to say what damages they award plaintiff.
The jury awarded plaintiff 40s. damages.

TILE KINGSWOOD MURDER.

MANSION-HOUSE—(This DAT).

This morning Johann Karl Franz, a German, who is
suspected of being one of the murderers of Mrs. Halliday,
was again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Humphrey,
charged with being in a house with intent to commit a
felony. He is a little slender man, about 21 years of age,
dressed in faded and well-worn brown coat and trousers,
and a black cloth cap, and altogether presented a very
destitute condition.

An interpreter having informed the prisoner of the charge
against him,

Inspector Coward, having been sworn, said—l hold a
warrant, signed by the magistrates of Surrey, for the appre-
hension of two men on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of Martha Halliday, at the Parsonage, Kingswood,
on the night of the 10th of June. I believe the prisoner to
be one of those men.

This was communicated to the prisoner through the in-
terpreter.

The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to put any questions to
the inspector ?

Prisoner-1 have nothing to ask.
John Bashford—I am a grocer and gardener, and reside
at Chepston, near Kingswood. 1 saw the prisoner at
Reigate on Monday, the 10th of June (the night of the
murder), about half-past one o'clock. He was at the
Cricketers' publichouse in company with another man like
himself, a foreigner. They remained in the publichouse
about an hour. I saw them thare again the following
night. 1 did not speak to him. The place is about four
miles from Kingswood. I have not seen him since that day
until the present time.

The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner)—Have you any ques-
tions to put.
Prisoner (in a low voice)—l have nothing to say beyond
stating that what he says is not true. The town of Rei-
gate is entirely unknown to me.
Mary Elsey—l reside at Reigate, and am in the service
of Mrs. Bithers, who carries on the business of a brush-
maker there. To the best of my belief I saw the prisoner
in the town on the afternoon of the 10th of June. He came
into the shop between the hours of three and four to pur-
chase a ball of string. I saw nothing of him after that
time. The murder was committed after I had seen the
prisoner.

The Lord Mayor—Did you speak to the prisoner ?
Witness—No, my lord, I did not.
The Lord Mayor—Was he alone when he came into the
shop, or was any other person with him
Witness—He was accompanied by another man, who
also had the appearance of a foreigner. _

Mrs. Mary Bithers—l saw a man very much like the
prisoner at Reigate, on the 10th of June. He came into
my shop to purchase a ball of string. There was another
man with him who had dark curly hair. The prisoner's
face seems somewhat thinner than when I first saw him.
His beard has also grown longer, but I believe him to be
the person I saw. He wore a cloth cap, which he has not
now got on.

The Lord Mayor—Put the prisoner's cap on him. [This
was done by the officer in charge.]

Witness—Yes, I believe that is the man. The prisoner
did not ask for the string ; the man by whom he was ac-
companied did, as he spoke English. The man with the
dark hair also paid for the article, and then they both left
the shop.
The Lord Mayor—Did the two men speak to each other ?
Witness—Yes, my lord. They conversed together while
in my shop, but as it was carried on in a foreign language
I could not tell what they said.
The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to ask the witness any
question ?
Prisoner—No.

Inspector Coward--I have heard the whole of the evi-
dence given by the witnesses, and I have reasonable ground
to suspect that the prisoner is one of the persons who corn.
witted the murder at Kingswood Parsonage on the night
of the 10th of June.
The Chief Clerk (to the prisoner)—You have heard the
charge against you, what do you say in answer to it?
Prisoner—l've nothing to say except that lam astonished
that they should accuse me of the murder.
The Lord Mayor (to the Inspector)—You have come here
with a warrant from the Surrey magistrates, and you wish
to have the prisoner delivered over to your custody, as you
believe him to be concerned in the murder at Kingswood ?
Inspector Coward—l do, my lord.
The Lord Mayor—Very well. When will he be tried at
Reigate?

Inspector Coward—l think on Monday next.
The Lord Mayor—ln the event of the prisoner being dis
charged by the Surrey magistrates, he need not be brought
here again, as the offence with «hick he is charged in the
City is so simplc that he will have undergone sufficient
punishment for that. You can have the prisoner delivered
over to your custody.
The prisoner was then formally delivered over to the
custody of the Inspector of the Surrey Constabulary, and
in a short time afterwards was conveyed back to Reigate.

EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

The Earl of CAMPERDOWN presented a petition from
the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland,
signed by the moderator, Dr. M'Caull, deprecating any
partial measure of education by merely proposing to increase
the salaries of schoolmasters, and praying that the subject
of national education in Scotland may be dealt with as a
Rational and not a donominational question.
