MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLICaNCIS,

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.
The depression of business on the Stock Exchange
is unabated, and it has further prejudiced operations
in the Funds and in several Foreign Stocks. Railways,
however, are, for the time, less under this particular
influence, the meetings of the Metropolitan and Mid-
land Companies being regarded as satisfactory, while
the dividend of the South-Eastern Company has
strengthened holders. The market is now steady.
After to-morrow the Stook Exchange will be closed
until Monday. This circumstance has had the effect
of further diminishing the attendance. Tho fortnightly
settlement commences on Wednesday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THI3 DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MR. FINLEN AND HIS LANDLORD-SINGULAR
APPLICATION.-Mr. J. Bacon, plumber, &c., of No.
28, Church-street, Soho, and No. 16, Tower-street,
St. Martin's-lane, the landlord of Mr. Finlen, a well-
known attendant at public meetings, waited upon
Mr. Knox this morning and said :—Your worship, I
want to know what I.am to do. You granted me a.
warrant, you may remember, to get rid of Finlen,
and I want you to put it into execution. The
broker has been into Finlen's place, and has valued
his furniture at 25., there being nothing in the
place but an old mattress, a cover, and a dish.
When the doctor made his statement to you he said
there was a bed in the place, but he made a mis-
take, as it's only an old mattress, and the broker
says it's not worth taking away. Finlen told my
missus that he would bring 100 persons and take the
place by storm, and my missus told him that
if he did she would let them have a pail
of water over them, and that she was not afraid of
them. Half a dozen men did come, and my minus
told them that she was not afraid of them, and that
if they were not off like a shot she would let them
have what she had promised them, and they would
have had it too, for when my missus promises a
thing she means it. I went to bed that night, and
on getting up at a very early hour and going down
stairs I found my missus sitting in the passage
with a pail of water by her side. I said,
" Well, missus, what are you waiting for ?''
" Oh," says she, " for Mr. Finlen and the Fenians."
I then said, "What's that pail of water for?" and she
says, " For the Fenians." Ho told her to go to bed
and not mind Mr. Finlen and his friends, and she
did so. The policeman on going into Finlen's room
found that ono of the notices served on him had
been torn to pieces. All I want is to got rid of my
lodger, who still holds possession.
Mr. Kdox—lf you come here to-morrow I shall
be able to render you the assistance you require.
Mr. Bacon thanked the magistrate and retired.
