BOW-STREET•-(THIS I)AY.)

A poor emaciated-looking young man was plisc-ed at
the bar before 'Mr. Benry, charged with unlawfully
pawning his master's goods.
Mr. Poule, the prosecutor, a large bootmaker residing
in Broad-strect Bloomsbury, deposed that the prisoner
worked for them in the cashmere ladies' boot line, he
being an excellent workman in that particular brunch f
their traJe. As nearly all that kind of work was given
to him, he bad always plenty on hand, and it was nothing
out of the way when he asked for more work, even sup-
posing he had four or tire pair at home with him. Some
seven days ago he asked for come more work, and Le
was questioned about the other eight pair he had at
home. He replied that they were nearly done, and that
he would bring them altogether. Since that time he
had not been to his employers, and yesterday one of the
shopmen was sent to his lodgings. There he found the
prisoner in the greatest distress—no fire, no clothing,
no furniture, and, in fact, nothing in the shape of com-
fort. He said he was in a state of starvation when he
pawned them, and from appearances he spoke the truth
when he said so.
Mr. HENRY remarked that the competition now
days was such, that the masters were obliged to send
their work to the cheapest markets. But still they and
the pawnbrokers must be protected from such frauds as
the present.
Both these gentlemen pleaded bard for the prisoner,
and the worthy Magistrate mitigated the fine to 11,
which there was every season ti believe will be paid by
Mr. P3OlO.

INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Her Majesty's at-
tention having 1)-..en called to the distm:2ing case of an in-
fant family, suddenly deprived of both parents in Clonmel
(the father having been Sergeant-Major in the Ist Regiment
of Dragoon Guards), she has must kindly placed one of the
youngest children in the Wanstead Infant Orphan Asylum.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QC,IiTTERI 0 Tit aL,' E.
Tile sah3s of Coatis, at Liverpool pates vay we, e esti-
mated at 5,000 baler, of which 1,500 American were
token on speculation. The market closed firmly, and
Dearly 0. per lb. higher for American descriptions.—
Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
teie4iney.
The quantity of colonial produce presfing for public
sale, chiefly sugar, is large, raid prices tiro treftvourehly
influenced in consequence, being lower again teaday.
The arrival of ships from all parts of tlse wort„ has been
very extensive within the last few days, and full em-
ployment is afforded to the various water-side depart-
ments.
With large foreign arrivals, the Corn Haile rules dull
tc-day, but prices are not generally lower.
Arrangements have been made be twcen the British
and United States Post-Ake authorities, whereby
letters or l apers from England may be forwarded to
California and Oregon being addressed "via New York"
or " via United States." Whether such letters go by
the English or American packets the charge will be
23. 51d. per half ounce, or not exceeding one ounce
4s. 1 Id., to be prepaid, and newspapers will be charged
2d. each.
The only alteration yesterday afternoon in the rate at
which bills of exchange were negotiated was a slight de-
cline on Hamburgh and Trieste, and an advance on
Antwerp.
The ship arrivals to day furnish no late intelligence of
importance, and the Continental mails add but little to
our previous information. At Amsterdam business in
the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Dutch Bends was more
animated, and prices advanced. There were a good
many purchases in Spanish, owing to the decree con-
cerning the debt.
As the meeting of the Mexican Bondholders takes
place on Friday, it may be useful to slate what is cur-
rently rumoured. Mr. W. P. Robeitson and Mr. Mills
retire definitively, it is said, from the new committee,
but Mr. Guedalla and the other two members, will pro-
bably offer themselves for re-election. It is hoped that
same very influential parties may then be induced to
strengthen the committee, and the number will be in-
creased, if possible, to about ten. Au important question,
that will probably engage attention at the next meeting,
is that or the tobacco duties, and the second report of
the committee gives the following information upon it:—
" By the non-arrival of the last Mexican mail no ad-
vices have been received from Messrs. Manning and
Mackintosh relative to the tobacco duties. Your com-
mittee subjoin an extract from a letter, which they ad-
dressed on the the 28th of February through
their chairman, to those gentlemen on the sub-
ject, which must necessarily be attended with
results on its arrival in Mexico. In the meantime, I
understand that you are in process of receiving from the
tobacco monopoly the proceeds of the bondholders' pro-
portion of the first year's operations!, and this committee
are extremely anxious to be able to lay before the public
a definite account of the amount coming to them from the
tobacco towards completing the next dividend to be
paid. I am instructed by the committee to say, that
there is no part of the failure of the Mexican Govern-
ment to comply with these engagements so deeply felt
by the bondholders in the efeleations in the appro-
priated revenues as this proceeding from the toeacco
monopoly. The committee therefore are doubly anxious, in
order to soothe the irritation generally felt, to he able,
from time to time, to show that this important source of
revenue will be gradually available to them, on an in-
creasing scale. The committee are eta-callously exert-
ing themselves to procure from the Admiralty
and the Royal Mail Steam-pecket Company such
an arrangement as will effectually prevent, on beta
coasts, the illegal shipment of silver, by which the bond-
holders have been defrauded of so large a portion of their
revenues. The committee await, with the utmost
anxiety some account of the proceedings in the new
Congress, relative to the convention which I mada wita
the Executive. In the meantime I sincerely trust that Mr.
Doyle and your good selves will vigorously oppose, in
every possible shape, the appropriation, to the local
watts of the Government, any part of the first 1,500,000
dollars of the indemnity money apportioned to the pat-
meat of the overdue dividends of the Mexican Foreign
Debt."
Owing to the numerous " option:," which come off
this day, at about 96, the Consol Market is kept down,
and the quotations have varied from 95i to 95-s'--, being
now about 95iH, and fur May 96 to '1 he forego new a
reads well, and official intimation has been given that the
sum available from the eurplus revenue anti bequeets for
the redemption of debt during the current quarter is
526,4761., all to be laid out its the purchase of stock,
accordingly the Commissioners have already com-
menced operations, and will buy gradually, and
from day to day. The New Three-and-a-Quafft2r per
Cents. have realised 96 to 97i, and the Three per
Cents. 941 to 95. Bank Stock is steady at 206. Ex-
chequer-bills are firm at 70e. to 72v. premium, and
India Bonds at 91s. to 945. India Stock is 267 to 268.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
moderate. Mexican have realised 28i to 29, being
higher, and Spanish Five per Ceuta are held firmly.at
18 to t. Portuguese Four per Cents have been :32,;1.
Buenos Ayres Stock has realised 54 to 1. Dutch Four
per Cents have been 851 ex div,
Railway Shares have undergone no uniform move-
ment. Great Western are lower, and also Midland.
Caledonian and North Stafford are rather better. North
Western and South-Western about the same. South
Eastern heavy.
