BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Three tradesmen residing in Holborn were brought before
Mr. Twyford this morning, charged NV ith assaulting two of
the police.
The defendants, it appeared, were standing at their own
doors last night, at about twelve o'clock, waiting to be let in.
While they were doing so, two policemen came up, and re-
quested them to move on. They stated that they were at
their own homes, and refused to do so ; upon this one of the
policemen seized one of the defendants by the collar, and was
about :to drag him from the door, when the defendant struck
him. The other defendants interfered, and the result was
that all three were brought to the station-house.
Mr. TWYFORD fined the defendant who struck the police-
man 20s. The others were discharged.

UNION lIALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Mary Leary,* a girl fourteen years of age, was charged
with robbing a gentleman of thirty sovereigns, and another
charge was preferred against her, that of attempting to de-
stroy herself when taken into custody.
Policeman, 179 M, stated that on the preceding afternoon
ho found the prisoner drunk in Parish-street, and she com-
plained to him that she had been robbed of two sovereigns
by two boys who ran away. He carried her to the house of
her mother, in the Maze, Tooley-street, where she precipi-
tated herself out of a window upwards of thirty
feet from the ground and would have effected her
purpose had she not been caught at the moment by the po-
lliceman. The policeman went on to describe that on
Thursday night a well-dressed mau was picked up in the
street by the prisoner, who is a common prostitute, and taken
to a house of ill-fame in the Maze, where he was robbed of
thirty sovereigns, and that the prisoner, who was with him
at the time, ran away and escaped. In accounting for
the possession of the two sovereigns of which she
asserted she was robbed, she said that it was money
intrusted to her by her mother to purchase some articles.
The mother, however, contradicted the assertion, declaring
that she had not seen her daughter for the last seven weeks,
and the poor woman added that the prisoner had given her
family a great deal of trouble owing to her bad conduct.
As it was stated that the man who had been robbed would
appear on Wednesday to substantiate his charge against the
prisoner, she was remanded until that day.
Two young men were charged with bathing in the Thames,
and assaulting a policeman for interfering with them.
The defendsats were observed in a state of nudity the pre-
vious afternoon, having just got cut of the water at Bank-
side, opposite to the houses in that vicinity. The policeman
on taking them into custody was struck, and kicked, and
threatened by a mob, who followed them to the station-house.
. _

Mr. COTTENLIAM said that he would be the last person to
punish persons for taking advantage of such a salutary
amusement as bathing, but that it must not be permitted in
such a public place as Backside. He then inflicted a fine on
each of the defendants.

There are no arrivals in the City to-day.
The Stock market is flat, with but little doing, although
there are a good many parties about the Stock .Exchange,
taking into account that this is Saturday. The recal of
Lord Ellenborough, and the schism that_ has arisen

_ .
upon this subject between the Government and the
East India Directors, together with the anxiety respecting
the Budget, are the causes of the existing heaviness. Consols
for transfer next week have been 99-1, to 4, and for Account
99A 4. Exchequer Bills have supported the premium of 765.
and 775. The New Three and-a-half per Cents. are 103 to
1021, the Reduced 102 to A, and the Three per Cents. 98i to
99. Bank Stock is quiet at 196 i.
The Foreign Market is dull, and we cannot wonder at
Spanish looking flat, when we hear, by advices from Madrid,
that the contract for a new loan has been actually signed.
The next difficult matter, however, is, to get the money.
The Three per Cents. have been 37i to A ; the Passive, 6* ;
and the Deferred, 15 to i. Mexican have been heavy at 35i
and Brazilian steady at 81. Belgian Bonds have realised
1041, Russian 1174, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
60 to 617.
The Share Market is buoyant for all the principal Rail-
ways, and in Great Western and South-Western there is a
slight advance.
