INT.ELLIGE.Nr

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Stock Markets keep steady in the absence
of any disturbing occurrences, but there is so little
business going forward that quotations do not ad-
vance. The downward tendency of the corn mar-
ket, which is further illustrated by a reduction of
is this morning, and the large arrivals of gold
taking place, are two circumstances which
exercise a favourable influence. The telegram
reporting the ultimate abandonment of the Egyptian
lean caused at first a little stir, but it has almost sub-
sided now. Railways are unsettled, owing to the
approaching settlement indicating that in consequence
of large quantities of stock being locked up, loans of
Particular descriptions will not be got without
difficulty.
The Discount Market is again easier, and dis-
counters are readily working at 2 per cent. and
upward,. The supply is full, and the large arrivals
now taking place encourage the opinion that the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7711S DAl'.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A COURAGEOUS SERVANT GlRL.—William Sin-
clair, a rough-looking young man, who refused his
address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
stealing at No. 91, Newman-street, Oxford-street,
a black leather bag, containing valuable papers,
&c., the property of a gentleman lodging in the
house, and also with violently assaulting Elizabeth
AlTarlan, a young woman, servant to Mrs. Jane
Allen, landlady of the house.
Elizabeth M'Farlan said—Oa Saturday night,
about 11 o'clock, on returning from fetching the
supper beer, my mistress, Mrs. Allen, called me
into the parlour, and we found that a black bag
belonging to a gentleman, who occupied the par-
lour, but who was then out of town, had been re-
moved from the sofa where it was always kept,
Directly afterwards my mistress kicked against the
bag, which was on the floor, and on looking
about the room we found the prisoner under a
table. The prisoner then got up and made towards
the street door, and struck me with the beer jug,
which I had placed on the table, and as he was
coming towards me to strike me again I knocked
him down, fell upon him, and thus held
him down. We rollel about the passage and
struggled hard together, I screaming all the time.
My mistress went upstairs and screamed "Murder"
out of the window. We continued struggling together
for some time, the prisoner telling the he would mur-
der me if I did not get up. I got up at the same
time that the prisoner did, and ha then made for
the street-door, seizing a brass candlestick, and on
my attempting to seize bold of him again he struck
me a blow on the head with the candlestick, cutting
my head and bending the candlestick, and as the
prisoner got out of the door I called out to stop
him, and a young man knocked him down, and lie
was afterwards taken into custody.
The Prisoner—l went to the wrong house it ap-
pears. (Laughter.)
The Rev. Thomas Berney said—The bag pro-
duced ai my property and containing valuable
papers, and also a pair of boots, were always kept
on the sofa.

Robert Anderson, a young man, residing at
Camden-passage, Islington-green, a French polisher,
said—l was going along Newman-street on Satur-
day evening when I beard screams and tussling in
the passage of No. 91, followed directly afterwards
by screams of " Murder" from the first floor win-
dow. Presently the street door opened, and some
one from the inside said, on my pushing the door,
"Don't open it, or he will get away." The pri-
soner then came out, as he was doing so beating
the young woman back, and I knocked him down
and held him down till a constable came, and he
was then taken into custody.

Paul Burgess, 10 ER, said—l took the prisoner
into custody, and on the way he threw away a key
which had been filed so as to open latch doors.

Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the witness Anderson)—ln
what condition was the young woman when you
saw her ?

Witness—She was bleeding from the head, and
her hair was all about her face.

• At the request of the police the prisoner was
remanded.

STEALING PAVING STONE.—John Hobson, aged
30 years, a carman, of No. 5, Love-lane, Shadvrell,
and Matthew George Sharpley, 32, cowke:_tper, of
the Model Dairy Farm, Whitehorn-street, Brom-
ley, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged, the
first with stealing, and the other with receiving.
knowing to be stolen, 36 feet of paving stone, the
property of Mr. George West, paviour, of No. 94,
Cannon-street-road.

➢ir. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Hodgson, solicitor, de-
fended Sharpley.

It appeared that Mr. West had been paving a
new thoroughfare called Woolmore-street, Stepney,
where a good deal of Yorkshire stone was lying
about. He had missed large quantities of it. Hob-
son was in the employ of the prosecutor, and it was
proved by a young man named Telling, of No. 1,
Blackthorn-street, Bromley, that he had seen the
prisoner go into Sharpley's yard with a cart-load of
stone on Tuesday last ; there was another man with
him. On Satut day, the prosecutor, accompanied
by a police-constable named Joseph Sargent, No.
322 A R, went to Sharpley's premises, where
they discovered 36 fe,A of Yorkshire stone,
valued at 225., which Mr. West believel to be
his property. It was only a small portion of the
stone missing. Sharpley said he did not know how
the stone came into his premises, and that he was
uot_at home when it arrived.

Mr. Gomm said, in the defence of Sharpley, that
there was no evidence against him, that he wai not
present when the paving material arrived in his
yard, that it was not proved that he ordered it to
be brought there, or that he had ever paid for it.
Mr. Benson—The property was in his cow-yard.
He has been here recently ?
Mr. Gomm—Yes, as a prosecutor.

Mr. Benson—l recollect he was here as a prose-
cutor. I will take his own recognizance to appear
here on Thursday. Hobson is remanded.

FIRE IN MANCHESTER.--Yesterday afternoon a
fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Shaw, Jardine,
and Co. in Butler-street. The fire was caused by the
friction of machinery in the blowing-room, and it was not
extinguished until the building and contents had been
damaged to the extent of £3OO or £4OO.
PETROLEUM AS A FUEL FOR LOCOMOTIVES.—On
April 21st, in Boston, Massachusetts, a number of gentle-
men, largely interested in the utilizing of fuel upon loco-
motive engines, wore invited by Colonel Henry R. Foote
to witness his apparatus adapted for this specific purpos_,.
The party was mostly composed of railroad engineers.
Tho experiment was made upon a stationary boiler of the
locomotive typo, in one of the largest machine shops in the
city. From the time that the fire was first kindled steam
was generated at the rate of two pounds per minute, and
in 20 minutes the engine was working •under a pressure
of sixty pounds of steam and blowing off. Tho simple
and expeditious process of making and extinguishing the
fire was exhibited•to the engineers, eliciting their greatest
admiration. The fire produced was pronounced to bo the
most perfect over witnessed by these practical men, and
was far more intense than anything they had ever wit-
nessed before. This exhibition was simply illustrative of
the fire that is shortly to be kindled under the boiler of
a locomotive on the Fitchburg Laihead.— Wall-street
Journal.
