ELLIGENCE.-(TEIS DAY.)

POLICE INT

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXHIBITING AN ANNOYING CARICATURE.—A PUBLI-
CAN'S REVENGE.—Wm. Hunter was charged with wilfully
destroying a pane of of plate glass under the following
singular circumstances :

Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the complainant, and said, in explanation of the case,
that a short time since a musician, named Richards, was
charged with annoying a Mr. Martin, the keeper of an
eating-house in Market-street, by playing at a late hour of
night, he having been employed by a Mr. Flowers, a publi-
can, living opposite Mr. Martin's house, and ever since Mr.
Martin had been subjected to very great annoyance—the
stopping of the music giving great offence to Mr. Flowers—
by the exhibition in Mr. Flowers's window of an offensive
placard. Ou the previous night a large crowd assembled
in front of Mr. Martin's house, and some coppers were
thrown at his window, smashing it, and he would prove
that the prisoner had thrown them. He would also men-
tion that one of the persons annoyed by the musician, and
who gave evidence, was a fishmonger.
The placard was produced, or rather a fac simile, and on
the top, divided into five compartments, were the following
caricatures :—" The cook-shop keeper and the publican ;"
"the barman telling the musicians to play away ;" "the
man and the violin ;" " the woman and the harp ; "a con-
stable and a sergeant," the latter telling the former to knock
him down. There were also the following words :—" The
words the poet said ' Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast,' were wrong to Putney." Under the
left hand corner :—" Declaration of war—The cook-shop
man having commenced a war against music, no cabs or
vehicles will be allowed to stop here for their benefit."
Also—" Richard was given in charge on the 12th October
for playing his violin at this house at 20 minutes to 11 at
night by the cook-shop man and the fishman, the only ex-
cuse being that it annoyed these worthies. Fish goes to
bed at half-past 10, so the doctor says he's not to be wor-
ried. Poor baby !"

Mr. Martin, of 6, Market-street, proved seeing the pri-
soner in front of his house in the crowd, and two boys,
named Millias and Gerald, proved seeing the prisoner
throw some coppers at and break the window.
Ordered to pay 255. or 21 days, and to find two sureties
for three months in 420 each.

LAW INTE

,LLIGENCR.-(TIIIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.)
THE VALUE OP A CHARACTER.-IN RE HARRIS.
This bankrupt was described as of Shoreditch, tobacco-
nist, and came up for his certificate,
Mr. C. E. Lewis supported, and said that out of credi-
tors to whom £859 were due, they had only proved to the
amount of £6OO, and creditors representing debts to the
amount of £521 had signed a document expressing their
hope that the court would grant a certificate. He, Mr.
Lewis would put in the paper, and leave the case on its
merits. The bankruptcy was brought on through the
bankrupt having brought an action for defamation of cha-
racter but was non-suited. The Chief Baron certified that
the charge of slander was frivolous. The bankrupt there-
fore became liable for costs. His landlord got uneasy about
his rent, distrained, and ultimately the case came before this
court. He (Mr. Lewis) had to urge that every creditor
who had proved had signed the recommendation—but the
one outstanding for costs, a medical gentleman—there
being no opposition, his Honour would no doubt think
favourably of the recommendation. _

Mr. Poole, for the assigness, said there were no objec-
tions on the part of the creditors or assigne.s.
His Honour said the debts were £BOO, and not a farthing
for the creditors, but if they were satisfied, ho would grant
a certificate, but it would only be of the third class.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

- LIVERPOOL—Om 21.
The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday
have been fair of oats, but otherwise light. From foreign
ports we have received only 1,718 qrs of wheat, 1,462
qrs of beans, and 9,312 qrs of Indian corn. The exports
in the same time comprise 849 qrs of wheat, 415 qrs of
oats, 140 qrs of Indian' corn, 127 loads oatmeal, and 673
sacks of flour. The weather has now become very cold.
There has been little business done in the trade since Tues-
day. Our market this morning had a rather fair attend-
ance of the town and country buyers, and only a limited
sale was experienced for wheat and flour, at barely Tues-
day's prices. Oats in rather better request, but oatmeal met
with a slow sale, at Gd higher. Barley and peas pretty
well supported, at former quotations., Egyptian 'beans
Gd to is dearer. Indian corn met rather more inquiry, at
full prices.

TURKEY.

We have received Constantinople journals and
letters to the 14th. The contract with the bank
Rodocanachi had been definitively signed on the
previous day, and the establishment was to com-
mence operations immediately. Its capital will be
£1,000,000, with the power of issuing notes for
£2,000,000, thus making £3,000,000 or 75,000,000 f.
Its only business is to consist in discounting bills
and negotiable securities. Another bank, composed
of a number of capitalists of Galata, had also ter-
minated-its negotiations with the Porte, but it can-
not commence operations until all the paper-
money has been withdrawn, and no mea-
sure to obtain that result had yet been
adopted. The Government has rescinded the
order for seizing at the custom-house all arms of
war or of luxury, but it has at the same time given
notice that the importation will only be permitted
to a very limited extent. The journals state that
the weather in the Bosphorus and the Black Sea
continued very boisterous, and call the attention of
the Government to the necessity of having signal
guns fired every five minutes from the forts on
either side at times when from the thick fogs or
snowstorms the lights cannot be seen.

moment to withdraw the summons, but ho had better put
himself in the hands of his advisers ; and to give time I will
adjourn the case for a week, when I do hope neither party

will appear.
Mr. Metcalfe, on the part of Mrs. Rowley, said he was
quite ready to admit there might be some mistakes and a
little exaggeration, but the main points of her evidence he •
still adhered to.
Mr. Sleigh, after the suggestion of the worthy marristrate,
advised hi client to consent to the proposal. The adjourn-
ment would allow time to consider the course he should
adopt.
Mr. Rowley said he had proposed such a course ten day's
ago.
The proceedings were then adjourned fora week.

The Proprietors beg most respectfully to call the attention
of the trade, noblemen,.elere:y, &c., and the public in reneral,
to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages.
BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the
purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow-
ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun-
tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in
the lend is a sufficient guarantee.
They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonto
Wince, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak
stomacis._

A sample case, containinr three full-sized wine bottles,
will be forwarded to any address on receipt of Y. 0.0. for 6s.
6d., or a dorer! for 245.

It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines
are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the
stomach, and debilitating, the digestive organs, while pure
wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,
strengthening, and bracing the nervous system.
Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in-
valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from
the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly
acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the
faculty, both at home and abroad.
To prevent imposition each bottle Is sealed with the name
of the firm.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian press, as might be expected, is
anything but pleased with the compromise proposed
in the pamphlet which is the event of the day. The
Ost-Deutsche Post condemns it on the ground that
it is a complete abandonment of the policy which
that joirn al has attributed to France since the day
of Villafranca. The Post ..dmpt Gazette looks on
it as a direct menace for Austria, and exclaims :
" If Austria has no longer any rights in Italy, none
exist anywhere for anybody."
The two finance commissions at Vienna have pro-
posed to reduce the ordinary budget of the army to
70 millions of florins (150,000,000 fr.), which would
be diminishing the effective of the land troops by
one half.

THE SCOTCH RAILTPAY AMALGAIIIA-
TIM QUESTION.

A special meeting of the Merchant Company was
held on Friday, in Edinburgh, for the purpose of
considering a motion, of which notice had been
given by Mr. Josiah Livingston, to the following
effect:—" That a special committee be appointed
for the
.purposo of co-operating with other public
bodies in concerting and carrying out the most
strenuous opposition to the proposed amalgamation
of the Caledonian, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and
Scottish Central Railways." Mr. Charles Cowan,
Master, presided.
Mr. JOSIAH LIVINGSTON at some length proposed
the above resolution. He referred to the successful
opposition made to a similar scheme in 1853, and
said, the cost of that battle to the public bodies in
Edinburgh was £2,400. But let them look at the
matter in the shape of a debtor and creditor account.
He found that the ordinary rate on goods between
Edinburgh and Glasgow while the amalgamation
was contemplated was lls. Bd. per ton; butin 1854
after the amalgamation scheme was defeated, it fell
to Bs. 10d. per ton, being a difference of 25 per cent.
The traffic in 1852-53 averaged £4,500 per week,
so that the gain to the public (not the loss to the
railway) was at the rate of £1,125 per week, or
~£8,500 per annum, certainly a very satisfactory
return for the capital expended. Now, he would
suppose that the railways got this bill carried
through, and what would the consequence be in a
pecuniary shape ? He believed it was not a very ex-
travagant supposition to make, that the rates
would be raised at least ten per cent. The amount
of traffic on the Edinburgh and Glasgow last
week was £s,64B—ten per cent. on this would be
£562 per week, £2,248 per month, £29,224 per
'annum, taken from the pockets of the public.
Taken from the public but not, pocketed by the
railway companies, for they would always find
that a rise of rates was not a rise of returns. The

traffic fell off in nearly an equal proportion, but it
was no less on that account taken from the public;
it was taken from them either in money or in
money's worth—in money if they had to pay—the
increased rate, in money's worth if they were
thereby deprived of the accommodation which. by
taking advantage of it at the lower rate, they had
shown to be worth that rate to them. In other
words, if they sllowed this bill to pass for the
grudging of £2,400, which the opposition cost them
before, they should even on this most moderato
calculation be mulcted of this sum every month._

'SPAIN AND MOROCCO.

The Crusade of the nineteenth century seems to
falter. We cannot recognise in it the zeal and
promptitude of the old religious war. A few months
since, Spain did indeed resound with a certain
clangour of arms. There was a hum of savage en-
thusiasm in thatkingdom which might almost have
made us imagine that Peter the Hermit and Wal-
ter the Moneyless had come again to life and tra-
velled into Spain—the one to revive the fanaticism
of old times and the other to preserve the normal
condition of Spanish credit and finance. But as this
' movement goes on there is a lack of the romance
and chivalrous self-devotion which ought to make
up for thd want of a reasonablo object. If the coun-
trymen of Don Quixote had meant to do the thing
according to precedent they ought, like the Council
of Clermont, to have cried out unanimously, " It.
is the will of God—it is the will of God!"—they
should then have precipitated themselves en masse
across the Straits. They ought by this time to have
swept Saracens and Berbers and Moors dawn into
the Great Desert, and to have erected the Cross over
the domes of Fez and Morocco. The old Cru-•aders
with 20,000f00t and 1,500 horse besieged Jerusalem
only five weeks before they stormed it, and washed
the streets of the Holy City with the blood of the
infidels. It surely is a proof of the degeneracy of
modern fanaticism that O'Donnell, the Crusader of
the nineteenth century, has been for weeks in the
land of the unbelievers, at the head of 40,000 Chris-
tians, and has done nothing but stand upon the de-
fensive.

-MONEY MART-CET AYD CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The demand for discount accommodation con-
tinues exceedingly active, and the applications both
at the Bank of England and in Lombard-street
have increased. The rates charged for negotiating
commercial securities, however, remain unchanged,
owing to the plentiful supply of money which is
still at the command of the banking and discount-
ing establishments. It is probable the inquiry will
be fully maintained for some days longer as the
settlement of annual accounts will provide tempo-
rary employment for a large aggregate amount of
capital. At the Stock Exchange, where business
is very quiet, loans can be obtained at easy quota-
tions.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex-
hibited a slight decline in the rates on Amsterdam
and. Hamburg.

The bar silver brought by the last West Indian
steamer has been sold at ss. 2d. per ounce standard,
being an advance of id. on the price realised for the
Previous supply.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly, and prices had a downward tendency. The
sales were only 4,000 bales. In the Railway Share
Market a fair amount of business was transacted,
and quotations were rather firmer.

It has been decided by the committee of the Stock
Exchange that Monday next, the 2d of January,
shall be a settling day in the Debentures of the
East Indian Railway Company's 5 per Cent. Loan
of £1,600,000, and transactions are to be officially
recorded.

A meeting has been convened of the East and
West India Dock Company, for the purpose of de-
claring- a dividend.
The transactions reported to-day in the market
for English Securities have been very limited ; but
continued firmness has been exhibited, notwith-
standing the paucity of business, and the decline on
the Paris Bourse. Consols are supported at 95
eX dividend for the 10th proximo. The position of
monetary affairs, and the expectation of favourable
results from the Congress, impart firmness to the
quotations. The New Three per Cents. have im-
proved to 95r4 y ; the Reduced to 981 ; India
loan Debentures (1859) to 984 ; ditto New
Stock, is steady, at 1041 -7-; the Bonds are 6s.
Prem.; ditto enfaced paper, 96. Exchequer Bills
remain at 295. to 325. prem.
Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues
rather quiet, and prices show little alteration.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 76f to 77f ; ditto New,
64 to 65 ; Mexican 3 per Cents. have receded to
221 ; Sardinian to 851 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. to
451 ; Russian 3 per Cents. to 65; ; and ditto Scrip
toy discount. Venezuelan 21 per Cents., however,
are firmer at 29.

CYPRUS.

A letter from Nicosia, in the island of Cyprus,
gives an account of a terrible inundation which
recently took place there :—" On the 10th
November the weather became cloudy, the
wind blew with violence, and the thunder and
lightning were most violent. At noon the rain be-
gan to fall in torrents, and in a short time after
the river overflowed its banks. The inhabitants
not having time to shut the gates, the water rushed
in with fearful impetuosity, and inundated the
town. The bazaar soon had six feet of water in it,
and to add to the misfortune the gate at the end of
the town opposite to where the water had rushed
in became closed, and there being thus no outlet for
the torrent nearly every house was soon filled. To-
wards evening the gate gave way, and the water
began to gradually subside. No fewer than 47

" Heights of Serrallo, Dec. 20.

" At noon I learnt that 7,000 or 8,000 Moors were
visiblo on our right. I immediately mado every
preparation for battle, and took my place near the
redoubt Isabella 11. The enemy had occupied in
great force the wooded ground in front of that re-
doubt and of that of Francisco d'Asis. I ordered
20 pieces of artillery to be placed in line. The grape
and shells thrown into the wood struck terror into
the enemy, who retreated in confusion, after great
loss, Two battalions charged them at the proper
moment. At the same time 1,000 cavalry and 2,000
foot sldwed themselves on our left. They were
driven back by General Ros. Our loss was three
officers and 48 men, more or less seriously wounded.
The Moors did not attack with their usual daring ;
they appear discouraged. The affair was of short
duration. The troops fought admirably, as usual.'

CYPRUS.

A letter from Nioosia, in the island of Cyprus,
gives an account oh" a terrible inundation which
recently took place there : —" On the 10th
November the wev,ther became cloudy, the
wind blew with violence, and the thunder and
lightning were most violent. At noon the rain be-
gan to fall in torrests, and in a short time after
the river overflowed its banks. 1 he inhabitants
not having time to shut th e gates, the water rushed
in with fearful impetuosity, and inundated the
town. The bazaar soon hatl six feet of water in it,
and to add to the misfortune the gate at the end of
the town opposite to where i he water had rushed
in became closed, and there being thus no outlet for
the torrent nearly every house was soon filled. To-
wards evening the gate gave way, and the water
began to gradually subside. No fewer than 47
houses and 150 shops were undermined and fell;
and 4 men, 11 women, and a child perished beneath
the ruins. Considerable injury was done to the I
merchandise in the bazaar. Upwards of 100 mules

also perished, and the total loss cannot be estimated
at less than two millions of piastres."

A Wiesbaden letter says :—" In spite of all the
reports that have been spread about, I am able to
assert positively that the Government of Nassau
has not concluded a concordat with Rome, and has
no intention of doing so. Besides, by our public
law, such a convention could only be made with the
reserve of the states giving their approval."

The AFrbski Dnewnck states that the pacha of
the fortress of Belgrade has ceased his relations
with the Servian Oovernment. The pacha had
demanded the extradition of a Turkish subject,
which was refused by the Government of Ser-
via, and that circumstance caused the relations
between them to be broken off. The Servian
Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed a me-
morial on the subject to all the foreign consuls
resident at Belgrade. ,

" A new era," says the Independance of Brussels,
"is about to dawn upon the Jews in Austria. If
the information transmitted to us by our correspon-
dent at Vienna is correct, the Austrian Cabinet
after much discussion, has decided at a late sitting,
under the presidence of the Emperor, that the Jews
shall henceforth be authorised to purchase real
estates in any part of the empire except Gallicia.
To emtitled to this new immunity, a man must be
able to read and write."
