house ? The Mother—l do not know, sir, they have refused.
Mr. COMBE—Let the girl be brought into Court.
The unfortunate girl was no sooner brought into Court than
she darted at her poor mother. The policeman who brought
her in was fortunately close enough to her to prevent her doing
any mischief. A fearful scene then occurred. She screamed,
and exclaimed, in a frantic voice, " What am I brought here
for? What charge have you—you (to her mother) to prefer
against me ? Let me speak. I will and must speak."
The MAGISTRATE ordered her removal, but she clung to
the dock with so much tenacity, that it required the united
exertions of several policemen to remove her.
She was sent to the workhouse, with directions for her in-
stant admission.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
4,000 bags, including 1,500 on speculation. The market is
quiet, and prices remain the same.—The Share market is
steady, with a good demand for Dovers.
Every day's post is looked for by the dealers, not only in
foreign grain, but also by railway speculators,with the greatest
anxiety, as respects the condition of the wheat already cut and
carried, and the probable yield in the more northern districts of
the United Kingdom, where the sickle has notyet been brought
into active operation. Although upon the general review of
the country advices it is established that the new wheat al-
ready brought to market is scarcely as weighty as it was in
the last year, still the quality is Hot at all found fault with.
It cannot, however, be denied that, as respects prices, should
the disease in the potato crops extend to but a twentieth
part of the land under culture, it will be in vain to expect
any reduction either in the price of bread or of pro-
visions generally. Speculators in rice have already
taken advantage of the rumours which have been
circulated, and have raised prices, as, under the
circumstances stated, no question this article of import
would be taken for consumption very considerably. Within
the week ending last night an improvement in the article
has occurred of fully 2s. per cwt., and from 10,000 to 11,000
bags have most readily been bought up. Should, however,
the quotations of wheat and flour here advance but to a
limited extent, before long there will be most ample supplies
from Canada and the United States, where the stores are
said to be crammed with these articles, awaiting a market in
Europe.
The effect of the alterations in the tariff has been effectu-
ally shown in the reduction of the price of pine apples,
hitherto a luxury obtainable only on very expensive terms,
but which now by the enterprize of parties connected with
the trade of the Bahamas, has been made available to a much
more extended range of consumers. No less than the enor-
mous quantity of four hundred thousand pines have been im-
ported this season, the last public sale of which, consisting of
2,000, took place by Keeling and Hunt, and realized from
Is. to 4s. 9d. each for those of good quality; and it is to be
hoped the prices obtained generally will be an additional in-
ducement for a continued annual supply being secured to the
public.
The private letters received by the West India mail do not
contain any information of much interest, beyond what is
communicated in the public papers. It is pleasing, however,
to find that a warm interest was taken among the more
wealthy colonists in the extension of railway com-
munication. Although the weather appears to have
been exceedingly dry, we do not find upon
careful investigation of the letters we have seen that much
injury has been done to the crops. However the holidays
taken on the part of the labourers, in celebration of their
obtaining freedom, are stated to be likely to prove of injury
to the ultimate yield of the canes which had arrived at a
period when the greatest attention was required. Hopes
were entertained, however, that the whole period usually
taken for living indolently would this year be much
shortened. _ .

The extreme fineness of the weather to-day has given a
buoyancy to the general markets. The prices of Stock are
well maintained. Consols for the Account have reached 98%,
and for Money, 98%. At present the quotations are a trifle
lower. Exchequer-bills are at 455. premium, and India
Stock at 271 270. _ _ .

Only a few bargains were made in the Foreign Funds to-
day. In Spanish at 38%; in Dutch Four per Cents. at
99!!2 %; in the Equador at 41,4. The Portuguese Converted
have been standing at 633/4 % for Money, but for the Ac-
count the value in the morning was 6414. It is now 631,4.
Mexicans have improved to 343/4.
The market for Railway Shares has not been very active.
The variations in the more prominent shares have been as
follows .—The London and Birmingham have been done at
221 and at 2211/2, present price 2215. The Quarter Shares at
27. The Brighton, 761/2 to 77. The South Western, at 78.
The London and York, at 7 and 61%. The London and Bir-
mingham at full to 75 76 ; the Midlands to 174 172 ; the South
Wales to 61A 6 ; and the Extension of York and North Midland
have realised 27:3/4. The foreign lines of railway are scarcely so
firm as yesterday, especially the French. The London and
Westminster Bank Shares are firm at 28.
