QUEEN SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)

Wm. Curtis, an elderly 'man, and Mary Grattan,
rather a good-looking, young woman, were charged
by Mrs. Curtis, wife of the former prisoner, with vio-
lently assaulting her person.
It appeared in evidence, that yesterday evening,
about five o'clock, some words had arisen between
complainant
~and the female prisoner, about the lat-
ter's intimacy with the husband of the former. She,
resenting' the insinuations implied, turned upon the
complainant, and finished the assault by turning her
out of the house. When her husband came home, he
also struck hei. several times upon the arm with a
stick, and threatened at some future time to "do
for her."

Several witnesses were examined, who proved com-
plainant's statement.'
Fined 5/. each, or in default two months' im-
prisonment.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The firmness of the funds noticed last night has
increased to-day, and prices are again higher; Consols
being 924 924 for Money, and 924 924 for the Ac-
count ; Three per Cents, Reduced, 934 ; Three-
and-a-Half: per Cents. Reduced, 1004; New Three-
and a-Half per Cents., 1004 ; Bank Stock, 167 1681;
India Stock, 2501 2511 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 49
52 ; New, 51 53 prem.
The Foreign Securities are rather better, conse-
quent upon the improvement of our Stocks. Dutch
Five per . Cents., 102 1024 ; the Two-and-a-Half
per Cents., 524 52. a. ; Danish, 84k 841, have been in-
cluded in the transactions of the morning.
Mexican Bonds are not quoted in the official lists
to-day.
The depression which appeared in the Share Market
yesterday has somewhat- subsided, although business
has been limited. London and Birmingham . have
been sold at 182 ; Thirds, 591; New Thirds, 304;
South' Western; '63 ; Brighton, 334 ; Blackwall, 81' ;
Edinburgh and. Glasgow, 49 ; and Bristol and
Exeter, 44.•-

• Spanish are the only Bonds quoted to-day ; the
FAT per Cents. 20-i, and the Three per Cents. 20, a
small bargain having been made in each.
The decision of the American President on the
Tariff, though expected, has, caused much gloom to be
thrown over American affairs here. The degree of
uncertainty in all mercantile transactions con-
nected with that country, forbids any consignments,
it not being known what duties will be collected,
since all that are now paid are so under protest, it
being contended that,no power exists for levying any
at all. This proceeding of Mr. Tyler is unfortunate
also for the holders of the various State bonds, as
tending still further to depress trade, from the revival
of which they can alone expect relief, and still more
unfortunate for the Federal Government itself, as the
new loan about to be attempted to be negotiated here
is to, he provided for out of the Customs' revenues.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 25.—A
slight improvement is perceptible in the Share mar-
ket to-day. Edinburgh and Glasgow, and London
and Birminghams, are in good demand. The follow-
ing sales have been reported :---Great Western, 861 ;
London and Birmingham, 182 ; Ditto, Quarters, 48 ;
Manchester and Birmingham, 241.
