MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Although some unimportant cases of embarass-
meat were reported yesterday afternoon, the en-
gagements of the 4th of the month have been very
well provided for, and as soon as the effect of the
necessary preparations has subsided, the money
market is expected to exhibit further indications
of easiness. Business of all kinds being so much
restricted, the enquiries for accommodation on mer-
cantile account are still below the average, and with
the accumulated resources of the banks it is
thought that lower rates must ultimately prevail,
although an important reduction has already taken
place. The large daily influx of gold into the
Bank of England also strengthens confidence in the
future prospects of the market.
About £60,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.

The Water Nymph has arrived from Australia
with £203,000 in specie.

The Kangaroo, which left Liverpool yesterday
for New York, took £6,535 in specie; and the New
York, from Southampton, conveyed £l,lOO from
England, £l,llB from Havre, and £13,653 from
Bremen.

There was less animation in the Liverpool Cotton
Market yesterday, but prices were very firm. The
sales were 8,000 bales.
At a meeting of the London Joint Stock Bank,
to-day, Mr. F. Badewald was appointed a director.

POLICE INTELLIGBNcE.—( This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

KILLING DUCKS IN THE PARK.—Wm. James Stevens,
of 5, College-street, Marlborough-road, Chelsea, a boy
about 9 years of age, was charged before Mr. Beadon with
killing a duck, the property of the Commissioners of Woods
and Works.

From the evidence of Nathaniel Arthur, park-constable
55, it appeared that on the previous afternoon while near
he bridge at the head of the Serpentine his attention was
called by some ladies and gentlemen, who told him that the
prisoner had killed a duck (which was produced in
court). He ran after the prisoner, who was stopped
by a Life Guardsman, and, on taking him into
custody he said he had thrown a stone, but did not intend
to kill the duck, and that another boy had thrown some
stones. He, however, saw no other boy near the spot.
The boy's father said his son told him that another boy
killed it.

Mr. Beadon said it was very serious. It was not so much
the killing the duck as throwing stone. He should fine the
boy 405., or a month. It was a thing that must be stopped.
The father asked that the fine might be decreased.
Mr. Beadon said he would not put it lower. There was
cruelty and other things mixed up in the boy's conduct.
Parents should take care of their children.
