UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas llPGalloway, the master of a trading vessel,
was charged with committing a violent assault on Eliza-
beth Button, whose right arm was broken in consequence
of the violence used towards her.

The complainant stated that her husband is mate of
a ship, and at present abroad. That the defendant and
another seafaring man, both acquaintances of her husband,
called at her house, and she treated them with kindness
on that account. That they had not been long in the
house before they began to treat her with great rudeness,
and went so far as to attempt to violate her. She, how-
ever, successfully resisted their attempts, in doing which
her arm was broken. The defendant's companion had
since gone to sea. The complainant added that she had
been confined to her house nearly ever since.
The prisoner said he was intoxicated on the night in
question, and that he had no recollection of what took
place.
Mr. COTTENHAM said the prisoner was proved to
have behaved in a most brutal manner, and that it was
well for him he had not succeeded in his base attempt, for
if he had his life would have been placed in jeopardy.
The magistrate then inflicted the full penalty of W. on
the prisoner, and in default of payment, to two months'
imprisonment.

THE LATE BANKOWLIBERY.

RE-EXAMINATION OF BURGESS AT THE
MANSION-HOUSE (THIS DAY).
The Loan MAYOR having fixed to-day, at twelve
o'clock, for the further examination of William Burgess,
charged with uttering two forged transfers for 8,0001,
which stood in the books of the Bank of England in the
name of Mr. William Oxenford, the approaches to the
Mansion-house were thronged with persons eager to ob-
tain admission to the justice-room. Precisely at twelve
o'clock the Lord Mayor entered and took his seat, and
immediately afterwards the room was crowded to excess.
William Burgess was shortly afterwards placed at the
bar, in the custody of John Forester. He was dressed
in a suit of black, over which he wore a dark brown
taglioni. He was in excellent spirits, and, being very
lame, he was. accommodated with a chair as on the last
occasion. He is a tall young man, about twenty-six
years of age, with light sandy hair and no whiskers.
The LORD MAYOR (to Burgess)—Have you any pro-
fessional adviser ? Burgess—Yes, my Lord.
Mr. J. C. Salomon, solicitor, of 7, Windmill-street,
Finsbury-square, said he appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. Ware, from the office of Messrs. Freshfield and
Co., the Bank solicitors, attended to prosecute.
Mr. Salomon (having consulted with the prisoner) said
he was instructed to ask for a remand.
The LORD MAYOR—On what ground ? Mr. Salomon
said for the purpose of obtaining evidence in his behalf,
and on that ground he thought there would be no objec-
tion to a remand on the part of the solicitors fur the
Bank.
Mr. Ware said he had a number of witnesses present.
Unfortunately, one witness, whose evidence was very
important, was attending a trial at Westminster, on sub-
poena, and it was possible that he might not be able to
give his evidence. to-day. As there were so many wit-
nesses present, perhaps it would be the best plan to take
their evidence, as it would save them much inconvenience.
Mr. Salomon was quite in favour of this course.
Mr. Oxenford was then called. He said he was an
official agefit in the Long-room, Custom-house. Prior
to the 3d of September last he was possessed of the
sum of 9,8001. in the Three per Cent. Consolidated An-
nuities. •
(The book containing the entry of the fraudulent with-
drawal of 8,2001. was then shown to him.)
Examination continued—The transaction recorded in
the book is not in my handwriting ; neither are
the two signatures, " William Oxenford." I never
gave any authority to William Burgess, or to any other
person, to withdraw the sum of 8.2001. out of the 9,8001.
which stood in my name in the Bank books.
Mr. Thomas Ingall, a clerk in the Bank of England,
was next examined—On Tuesday, the 3d of September
last, the prisoner came to the counter and said to me,
" Please to witness this transaction." The person who
was with him purported to be the owner of the stock ;
his real name, I believe, was Joseph Elder. The pri-
soner wrote his name, and the person who was with him
signsd'the name of " William Oxenford."
Mr. Salomon—ls it usual for Bank clerks to identify
persons transferring stock ? Witness—lt has been the
practice for a considerable time.
Mr. Salomon—lt is a very improper practice. •:
The witness said, the system had been discontinued
since"the fraudtilent transfer,
Mr. Takely,"a stock-broker, examined—l have known
the prisoner about twelve months, from his being a clerk
in the office in the Bank in which I was in the habit of
transacting business. In the latter part of August he
came to me and stated that a friend of his, who had
8,2001. in the Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities,
was desirous of raising 8,000/. On the morning of Tues-
day, the 3d of September, he brought me the necessary
papers filled up for the transfer of 8,200/. To the best
of my knowledge he was not accompanied by any person.
I sold the stock to a gentleman named Clement Smith.
It was divided into two p9rtions.
Mr. Ware said the other witness to whom he had
alluded could prove the payment of the cheque.
John Forester was next examined—ln consequence of
a warrant granted by 61r William Magnay (the late
Lord Ma) or), on the 2d of November last, for the pri-
soner's apprehension, he proceeded to America, and
arrested him soon after his arrival on Brewster's Island,
near the lighthouse, and about eleven miles from Boston,
and brought him to England.
Mr. Salomon then applied to have the prisoner re-
manded until Wednesday next.
The LORD
,MAYOR—Burgess, have you any objection
to be remanded to that day Burgess—l have no ob-
jection, my Lord.—He was remanded accordingly.
The prisoner throughout paid great attention to the
evidence, and frequently conferred with his solicitor. He
was then removed in the custody of John Forrester, and
walked with difficulty from the bar.

Another trial has been made of the conveyance of
• fruit by the Southampton Railway. A cargo of oranges,
ex Fear-not, has been received from St. Michael's, this
being the vessel that made the extraordinary quick pas-
sage with a cargo of pine apples last summer. She ar-
rived at Southampton in twelve days from the A z-ires,
discharged her cargo yesterday (Tuesday), at Southamp-
ton, and at two o'clock to-day it was sold by the brokers
at Monument-yard, London; whereas another vessel
that sailed the same day, the Countess Liverpool, bound
for the port of London, and which was off the Wight on
Monday last, is still in the Channel, and is likely to con-
tinue so with the present easterly wind.
An arrival from the Mauritius brings dates of the 7th
September. In order to relieve the pressure for money,
the most influential merchants had agreed to take Com-
pany's rupees at 50 cents for two years. The imports--
tam of so many labourers caused an increased demand
for the metallic currency, and with the Coolies rupees
were a favourite coin.

The merchants are not yet in receipt of their Indian
letters, consequently we cannot yet express any opinion
upon the state of commerce in the East.

The market for the English Securities has been very
firm, but the business doing is limited. Consols havo
realised 1008 to 1018 for Money, this being the first day
of the shutting ; and for the opening they are 994 to par
without the dividend. Bank btock has been supported
at 207 to 208. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been marked 104- to ; and the Three per Cents.
100-i to Exchequer Bills are 535. to 555. premium,
money being in request, as this is the 4th of the month.
The Foreign Securities have been tolerably good, but
are not so firm now as at the commencement of business
this morning. Spanish Actives are 24- A-, and the
Three per Cents. 361 a ; Portuguese Converted ob-
tained 5.5 i to 56 for Account • Mexican Bonds are 36A-

Two-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 638.
The Railway Shares obtained full quotations gener-
ally, the business doing being moderate.
