MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTBLLitißtlelt,

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
taking
sthis morning, and the large arrivals of gold
place, are two circumstances which
exercise a favourable influence. The telegram
reporting the ultimate abandonment of the Egyptian
loan 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
upwards. The supply is full, and the large arrivals
now taking place encourage the opinion that the
honey on offer will still further increase.
The corn market is dull, and is lower.
Consols are steady, at Saturday's close, at 94 to 94/
for money and 94- to 92:1 ex div. for account ;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

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 gentlema❑ lodging in the
house, and also with violently assaulting Elizabeth
11.'Farlan, 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 tho 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 rolled 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 me he would mur-
der me if I did not get up. I got up at the sane
time that the prisoner did, and he then made for
the street-door, seizing a brass candlestick, and on
my attempting to seize hold 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 he
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 as 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 heard screams and tussling in
the passage of Nc. 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 ho will get away." The pri-
soner then came out, as he was doing Bo 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--I 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 polies the prisoner was
remanded.
