Increased firmness has been apparent in the sty
Market for Public Securities to-day, owing to pur-
Chases on speculative account. The advices from 12
New York, moreover, are considered encouraging. sr,
Consols have been 92 for money and 921 t for st,
account, but they are now rather flatter, viz., 911
92 and 921,-- respectively. The New Threes and
the Reduced are steady at 91t, 92 ; Bank Stock is
at 231 and 233 ; India ditto is firm at 2181 and 219 ;
and Exchequer Bills have improved to ss. dis. and

par.
Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a fair
extent, and prices tend upwards. Turkish 6 per
Cents. are 701 to 71; ditto (1858), 561 to 56! ;
Mexican are steady at 23i, and Venezuelan at 21 ;
Portuguese have improved to 45Z 46 ; Brazilian
4f per Cents. to 86, and Dutch 2 per Cents.
remain at 63t.
The Railway Share Market has been moderately
active ; prices at the commencement showed in-
creased heaviness, but they afterwards slightly
advanced in sympathy with the English funds. I s.
Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
West Midland declined 55.; and Great Western,
10s.; North-Western and Midland advanced ss. ; I s
and Great Northern, 10s.

CONDON V. LORD RAYNHAM, M.P.—This was
an action to recover compensation of the defendant for
having without reasonable and probable cause charged the
plaintiff before a magistrate with begging, and for having
caused her to be imprisoned in a police cell. After a long
trial the jury, without any hesitation, found a verdict for
the neble defendant.
THE INDIAN POLICE.—The North-West Gazette
states that Mr. M. H. Court is appointed Superintendent-
General of Police for the districts under the Government of
the North-West provinces. Mr. Court's career as a magi-
strate, his pamphlet on the police ctnd the courts, and his
conduct as a member of the Police Commission, prove his
km for the appointment.
