THE FUNDS-4THIS, DAY).

CITY, TwRLrE o' CLOCK.
The generaL aspect of ,the British Securities is
more than usually gloomy, to whieh some consider-
able sales this morning have materially tended to give
weight in the market; • various causes -have' been
given for this heaviness and consequent dullness.
Among the reports are--the unsettled state of the
Ministry, the alarininf.; accounts from Constantinople,
a considerable horn,, n of which is disbelieved by
persons well informed ; the effect which the large
sales of Stock which were. stated to be made on ac-
count of the Deccan prize money,. but ndwt denied,
had upon the market; • and lastly, the uncertainty
which attends the Finance Committee. . Consols
opened at 85i 4, but have since worn a more than
usual heaviness, and the price has declined to• 844 5
for this, and• 85li for April; the, Commissioners
fare $5. ~-,A•small advance has taken place in India
11,ends to - 93-5, but there is no alteration in Ex-
chequer Bills, Which remain at 60 2 pm.
. In the Foreign Funds there ,has also been some
business doing. The decline in the English Market
has had a corresponding effect upon the European
Securities ; Russian are 944; Danish, 62, sellers ;
Portuguese, 741 • Mexican have also -gone 'down,
from 35% to 344 ; Colombian have maintained their
price to-day, better than any other of the Foreign
Bonds, and are 25', 26.
'The Share market continues without any point
worthy of observation. Brazilian Mines are 47 to
49 pm. A vessel from Rio Janeiro has arrived off
Penzance in 62'days, which is a still later date than
what we noticed yesterday, but we do not heafshe
brings letters. Colombian Mines have declined to
5 4 dis. ; Real del• Monte, 80 40 dis, ; and United
Mexican, 21 20 dis.

Since writing, we observe there must be some
error, or it must be a misprint in the Augsburgh
article, copied into the Gazette de France, from Con-
stantinople, which is dated the 10th of February,
1828, in the.Morning-Popers, for it could not by any
possibility come down to so late a period. . -

_ . •

to have taken a pane of glass from the windOW.,.of tire
prosecutor, by removing the putty. Jonei was fuk, identi-
fied, and the goods found on his person, but the identity of

(Before Mr. Baron VAUGITAN.)
_ _

Thomas Audgley, aged 21, was indicted for assaulting
eieorge Kitchener, and stealing from his person I Is. 6d.
in nioney,and a hat.
The proseeutiir sta.ted, that he was WAIkII76 en the night
of the Bth of February in the OrandJunction Roiid, Hol-
loway, at about a quarter. past nine at night, when-be was
accosted by a person whom he believed to be the' prisoner.
He asked for the price of a pint of beer, and on being re-
fused he struck the prosecutor a violent blow on the tem-
ple, and was itnmediately joined by another man, whom pro-
secutor had not before seen. They both rifled his pockets,
stuffed dirt and graVel into his mouth, and kicked him. vio-
kntly on the ribs. ,He begged them to spare his life, and
after they had taken all -the: money he had, awl his bat,
they both immediately made off. He, gave the
alarm, and described the person who had joined him, and
whom he had seen during their walk of abatd.three
hundred yards, as being dressed in a dark coat and trow-
sers,, and a very tight waistcoat. He likewise told the
officer that he should know the person again by his voice,
as be had before known him at a place where he hid been
working. The prisoner was taken the same night at about
twelve o'clock. 'He was then in bed with his wife, and
stated when taken that he had only been out fur sonic
coals and candles on that night after nine o'clock. •

Mr. Putm.trs, for the Prisoner, called four witnesses,
who proved that. at the time of the robbery the prisoner
was talking with one of them at
.his own door, about a
mile and a half from the place of the .robbery. The time
was also pretty clearly made out to have been remarked.
Mr. !Lima VAUGHAN observed in summing up, that it
was altogether a question of identity, and, after stating the
evidence on both sides, lift it to the Jury, who returned
verdict of Not Guilty.

John Massey, aged 17, was indicted for stealing four
silver spoons from the house of 11Irs. Williams, Great
Cambridge-street, Hackney.
Hannah Davis, the servant of the prosecutrix, de-
posed that on the 22d of• January, she -was shaking
the mats, a short distance • from the garden gate,
which she observed to close gradually ' • she quickly went
and saw the prisoner, inside ; he. bad, hearth-stones- for
sale ; she saw that the door of the kitchen was open, and
iatmediately accused the prisoner of having been in the kit •
chen and stolen something : be replied, that he had not, and
offered to let her search him ; she insisted updn his
stopping till she called assistance, but he theft immedi-
ately tin away down ,Bird-cage Walk. Witness followed
him, calling out, " stop thief," and he was soon taken.--
On looking over some plate in the kitchen, witness missed
four silver spoons, which were afterwards found on the
the inside of a knee in the Bird-cage Walk.
It turned out on the examination of
_Mrs. Williams,
that the spoons were not the property of her husband, but
of her daaghtcr; and therefore as they were alleged in
the indictment to be the property of William Williams, in.
stead • of Harriett Williams, the Learned .luncr directed
the Jury to adquit the • prisoner; which they accord-
ingly did.
