was there some articles were missed, which defendant accused
plaintiff of having taken. Plaintiff denied the accusation,
submitted to be searched, when none of the missing
articles were found on her, notwithstanding which the de-

POLICE INTEL LIG ENCE.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

William Darcey was charged with creating a disturbance in
the Surrey Theatre, and assaulting the constable in the execu-
tion of his duty.
The complainant stated that the defendant was in the gallery
of the theatre on the preceding night, and, by the violence of
his conduct interrupted the performance. He first endeavoured
to oust a female of her seat, and finding she would not give way
he threw himself forward, and knocked several persons off their
seats, and was proceeding to further acts of violence when he
was taken into custody. He then made a most determined
resistance, and kicked the witness severely on the legs.
In defence, he said that he was tipsy ; he was fined 40s.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 40k, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25 54 it follows
that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4281 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101/2d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 6i, and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 74, it
follows that gold is 0.52 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 1084
per cent., and the par of exchange between London ant
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 0.83 per cent. against Fngland. But the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at 80 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.
By the official returns published by the Customs, the export
of the precious metals to foreign and colonial ports for the week
ending Thursday last, were as under, viz.:— Ounces.
Silver coin to Hamburgh .................. 153,500
Silver coin to Bombay l,OOO
Silver bars to Ilamburgh 134.100
being the shutting of the Bank preparatory
to the payment of the dividends, a great pressure for
money to " take in" Stock existed during yesterday. At the
latter end of it, the Broker who usually operates for the Bank
of England, came forward and took in some heavy accounts,
and it was supposed that he was acting for that body. How-
ever the case may be, the Market experienced great relief
thereby, and Consols closed at 92,E 924 for Money, and 93i

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)

BELFAST.
The Committee selected to try the merits of the petition,
complaining of the undue return of Mr. Emerson Tennent and
Mr. J. Johnson, for the borough of Belfast, met at eleven
o'clock in Committee-room No. 2.
The following Members composed the Committee
Hayter, Chairman, Sir A. L. Hay, Mr. Ward, Captain Pol-
hill, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. W. Bagge, and Captain H. Bernal.
The Counsel engaged for the petitioners are Mr. Austen, Mr.
Cockburn, and Mr. Leahey ; Agent. Mr. Coppock ; for the
sitting Members, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Talbot, and
Mr. Whiteside ; Agent, Mr. Bates.
The Clerk said there were three petitions, two from Lord
Innishowen and Carrickfergus, and one from the electors, com-
plaining of bribery.
The CHAIRMAN asked if it would not be better to have the
room cleared to come to the usual resolutions ?
Mr. AUSTIN said, it was the mole usual course to have the
petition first read.
Mr. TALBOT said that, before the petition was read, it became
his painful but bounden duty to make an application to the
Committee. The Learned Gentleman who had the conducting
of the case was Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and was only within
the last half hour he (Mr. Talbot) was informed that Mr. Ser-
geant Wrangham was not. in a condition to attend this day. He
held in his hands a note from him, in which he stated that he
was confined to his bed—that he hoped he would be able to
attend to-morrow, but that it was impossible he could
do so this day. Although he (Mr. Talbot) would
not shrink from any duty which may be cast upon
him he hoped that the Committee, and more particularly the
Hon. Chairman who belonged to the same profession with
himself, feeling that a larger share of responsibility attached to
the person who conducted the case, and that he was himself un-
prepared to discuss a question which he did not say would, but
which may arise, would adjourn until he had an opportunity of
conferringwithhis Learned Friend on the subject. It was matter
communis famae that such a question may arise, because it had
been made matter of discussion in the House of Commons, and
he wished to consult with his Learned Friend on the subject.
Mr. AUSTEN said that under the circumstances it was not
his intention to offer any opposition to the application. He had
seen the note to which Mr. Talbot referred, and it may
happen to any of them to be in the same position. He should
not therefore offer the slightest objection.
The CHAIRMAN—Had we not better adjourn, then, to con-
sider the resolutions I spoke of before.
Mr. AUSTEN was afraid the Committee could not come to
any decision, considering the question that may arise.
The CHAIRMAN—Then I am afraid we will not be able to
come to any resolution.
Mr. AUSTEN—The Committee might discuss the question,
and agree upon resolutions they were to promulgate to-morrow.
The Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock to-mor-
row, but remained in the room some time discussing the reso-
lutions.
The petitions were not read, but we believe the allegations
they contain are those of bribery, obstruction, illegal decisions,
and intimidation.
