MARLEQRO U GH-STREET.

It: (THIS DAY )
INEBRIETY.—A very fashionably dressed female,
who gave her name, but refused to give her address, was
plaeed4t the bar, charged bypolice constable, No. 100, cf
the :Cdivision, with being drunk and incapable of takin,g care of
herself, at five o'clock yesterday afterOoon, in St. James's-
square, and having caused a crowd of personS to assemble round
her, who were scoffing and deriding her, and pushing her
about. On being searched at the station-house, a valua-
ble lady's gold watch, chain, a wedding, and another
finger-ring were found upon her, and in her purse, which
she had in her hand when the policeman took her in charge,
were five sovereigns, one-half sovereign, and ss. in si:ver.
Mr. MALTbY (the presiding Magistrate) asked the defendant
in what station of life she was ?—The defendant said she must
decline answering that question, as other persons might be pre-
judiced by her so doing. All the information she could give of
herself was that she was a married woman, and in a very respec-
table station of society. .

She was thud 55., ;Nhich the paid with alacrity, and left the
office.

—iiichard Wainwright, a young man, was charged as follows:
Police constable No. 2ti, of the A division, stated that at the
close of the Opera last night, he saw the prisoner in company
with another man, bustling about amongst the crowd under
the Opera Colonade, in the Haymarket. Suspecting they
were sick-pockets, he followed them for some time, and at
length saw the prisoner attempt to take a handkerchief that
was partly hanging out of agentlernan's pocket. Witness
pus Led forward to secure him an the act; he peg ceiving this,
instantly desisted, and was ;tinning off when witness secured
hint ; his companion, however, got off.
Mr. MALTBY asked if the p, isoner was known, and having
received an answer in the negative, admonished the prisoner as
to his future conduct, and discharged him.
David Benton, a corporal in the 72d Regiment of High-
landers, was charged on suspicion of stealing a silver watch, a
silver guard.chain, and a gold watch key, of the value of W.,
the property of Alexander M'Kinnon, a private in the same
regiment.
The prosecutor stated that he came on Monday last from
Windsor with the prisoner and others of the regiment, who arc
about proceeding to Scotland to recruit. The prisoner and
himself ware quartered at a house, the sign of the St. George
and the Dragon, but where it was situate, he (the
prosecutor) could not recollect. lie got very tipsy that night,
and was taken up to bed by the prisoner, and in the mornine.
he missed his watch. The prisoner had been absent during the
night from his quarters. Prosecutor had since seen the watch-
key in pledge at a pawbroker's, and the prisoner was described
as the party pledging it.
Mr. MALTBY said, there was no legal evidence against the
prisoner, but for his character's sake he would .send for the
party in question.
The case was therefore ordered to stand over.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
WIGAN.
The Committee met at the usual hour.
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had decided
that the vote of James Haig, which had been yesterday ob-
jected to by the Counsel for the sitting Member, was a good
vote.
The vote of Wm. Harrison was next objected to by the
Counsel for the sitting Member, on the ground of insufficiency
of value.
A valuator rated the premises at 71., but the Counsel for the
petitioners produced a receipt, showing that the voter had paid
a rent of 101. 2-3 ear. The premises had been valued at 101. by
a valuator called by Counsel for the petitioners.
The Committee, after deliberating for some time, decided
that the vote was a good one.
The vote of John Coyle was then objected to by Counsel for
the sitting Members, on the ground of insufficiency of value.;
The vote was not deeded on at the hour of our going to press.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO. THREE,

A further advance•in the prices of Consols has again taken
place, and the market still bears an appearance of firmness.
Scveralpurcha-e• have been made for investment, and the rates
are now—Consols, 90% to 90/ for Money and the present
Account, and 91 for that in May ; , New Three-and-a-Hall per
Cents.,'99k 100 h : Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced,
psi 99 ; Three per Cents., 89,1894 ; Bank Stock, 1661 167 ;
India Bonds 12, and Exchequer Bills 35 to 37 prem.
The svecula,ors in Foreign Bonds have taken advantage of
the rise in the English Stocks, and caused the quotations of the
various Securities to be marked higher. The Old Spanish
Active Fives, and the New Three per Cent. Stock bear ex-
actly the same nominal price, 25 25h ; but wherefore this
should be the case is difficult to be understood. Mexican a'so
has atitanced a trifle, and is now quoted 40. Colombian,
27 27* ; Colombian, ex-Venezuela, 1414 ; Peruvian Six per
Cents., 17 for the Account; Portugue,e Five per Cents. 36,
and the Three per Cents. 21. The price of the Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. is 52h 52*, and of Brazilian 676.
Railway Shares are all firm, and attention is now drawn to
those lines which bear a low price, in consequence of requiring
capital to complete their intended arrangements. Croydon
Trunk, 13* 133 ; Eastern Counties, 9; South Western, 60 ;
Brighton, 36-1 ; Bristol and Exeter, 40 ; Grrat Western, 921 ;
the New Shar,s, 64/ ; Fiftba,.loi.

Money is very scarce, and the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
has been paid on Consols.
It is considered that the report of Austria, Holland. and
Russia, havirg obtained each a loan is incorrect; the latter
Power has not yetconcluded the oegociations still in progress,
and those for the other twoPouers are in embryo.

From accounts from Sydney, by the way of Calcutta, infor-
mation has been received of the stoppage of the mercantile
firm of Messrs. Duke and Co. This makes the third or fourth
occurrence of a similar nature which has taken place within a
comparatively short time. It is with regret that it
must be noticed, that these failures create but • little
surprise, when the method by which trade in that
quarter has been carried on for some years past is
remembered. In addition to extremely heavy imports,
far beyond what the colonists could by any possibility
take off, the rate of interest on advances •and commercial
transactions has been frequently as high as Efteen per cent.
pr annum ; much above what any legitimate operation
would allow. Beside these drawbacks, the speculation
on land has been carried to an immense and ruinous extent,
the present holders of vvhich, coming in at the highest price,
now find themselves nearly ruined. At the commencement
of business, the first traders rapidly made large fortunes,
and it is to these- accumulations being suddenly realised,
that the present distress is mainly to be attributed. As
an example of the state of trade there, an instance very lately
happened, of a whole cargo of Stilton cheese; and amounting
to many tons in weight, being landed at Sydney from Liver-
pool, in the best possible condition. and immediately sold, to cover
the advance, at 7d. per pound; this cargo was after Wards re-sold
for the Calcutta market at a price nearly approaching I Id. per
lb. When the amount of the loss upon the cost price, anti.
the high rate of interest !is calculated, little surprise will be
exhibited at the mercantile distress now so unfortunately pre-
valent there. There are no foreign arrivals to-day.

MURDER of SIR W. IVPNAGHTEN

(From the Bombay Courier.)
The following extract of a letter from General Pollock's
camp bearing date Abe 23d ultimo, gives an account of the un-
fortuna e Envoy's murder, on what we cannot help considering,
as far as the detail of the horrid act is concerned, to rest on
the best authority we have yet had—that of an eye witness,
and ore whom we think may be implicitly trusted to in such a
relation. However, we lay it before the reader fur his own
appreciation :

The following particulars of the death of Sir William
were communicated to several persons yesterday,
by Sir A. Burnes' Kafila Bashre, who arrived in camp yester-
day evening, with his creden,ials, on kis way to Feruzepure,
Only twinty days from Cabool. The murder of Sir Wiliam
31‘Naghten did not take place in durbar,
.as generally sup-
po,ed, but at a conference in the plain, where this man was
present, and he states that Akbar Khan wanted Sir W. to
proclaim him King, which was refused, on which he seized
hold of Sir W. as if to pull him along with him, and was re.
sisted by Sir W. Akbar Khan finding threats useless, pulled
a pistol out from under his garment and shot hint himself, in
the left breast ; he di,l not fall but staggered ti..ck, when he
drew another and shot hint again, upon which he fell, but still
alive, when a matchlock man was ordered to skoot hint through
the head, which put. an end to his sufferings—they then cut
his head off, and by Abkar Khan's order stuck it on a pole
and carried it all round the place. Lady M'Naghten ran-
turned the body for 6,000 rupees, and it was buried. This much
I heard related by the man myself, and no one entertains the
least doubt of its ti uth. The man called on the General, to
whom he made this statement."

HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS:.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS or THIS pAr.
TIM ES. —The premium on gold at Paris ia 9 per male, which
at the English Mint price of 3/.175. lOid. per ounce for standard
gold, gives an exchange of 25 '37lj, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 25 57i, it follows that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

By advises from Hambureh the price of gold is 4331 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101hd. per
ounce, for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9*, and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10i, it
follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburgh.
• The course of exchange at New York on London is 108
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 1.57 per cent. against England. But the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.
POST.—The tea market became extremely dub after the
delivery of the letters, asthe trade were made acquainted with
the fact, that shipments hat been going on during the month to
a large extent, and that prices had fallen considerably in
China, which, added to the low rate of freights, would leave a
large profit to the importer upon the quoted prices at Canton.
Speculators appear to have abandoned the market ; the perpe-
tual monthly prophecies of the residents at Macao, that a
blockade was expected in a few days, having now become stale
and most unprotitaule to those who believed in them, whiLt
the trade seeing the eagerness with which importers are press-
ing sales, and having learned that some twenty cargoes are now
afloat and in course of arrival,• deem it prudent to buy only
what their immediate wants require, and thus the public stand
a chance of getting the leaf at a moderate price, as the exist-
ence of the war, it appears, does not prevent trade with Canton.
SUN.—The price of Consols improved IA to per cent. upon
the closing prices of yesterday, the last quotations to-day
being 90i 94, both for Money antifor the Accoant. This i s
to be attributed to some large purchases in the New Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. as well as in the Consols themselves,
supposed to be so on account of a large insurance establishment ;
the great amount of unemployed capital must, however, have
had some influence. Ihe Money Market has for a long time
evinced a degree of buoyancy which it scarcely could have
done had it not been for the last reason ; and it has been urged
that at no period have appearances been so favourable for a
funding operation, which would have precluded the necessity of
resorting to the proposed financial plan. It has been stated by
parties well versed in monetary affairs, that the market could
have sustained the calling in and funding all the outstanding
Exchequer Bills, without causing a decline of more than about
two to three per cent. Had such a proceeding been adopted
an opportunity would have been afforded fur re-issuing new
ones of improved security to the public, fur such sums as might
have been .squired for the present exigences, thus giving time
for testing the result of the changes in the import duties. Ti e
New Three and-a- Half peNCents. left off at 9b 100, and Ex-
chequer Bills 35 to 37 prem.
The Foreign Market was dull as to the extent of bargains,
but the quotations for the Bonds 4f the insolvent States were
not allowed to droop; the Portuguese Five per Cents. being
35 36k; the Three per Cents. 20i 21*; Colombian 264 27 ;
Mexican 394 40 ; Spanish Five per Cents. 24i 24L, and the
Three per Cents. 24* The price of Belgian was 103 104 ;
Brazilian, 67 68 ; Danish, 606 iii} ; Dutch Two-and-a-Hallper
Cents. 52 to 52* ; and the Five per Cents. lot) to 1001
The prices of Shares were without much variation, but they
showed an evident disposition to advance. London and Bir-
mingham were 84 56; Great Western, 27* 28*; the Half
Shares, "14* 143. premium ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 56
58; South Western, 59b 60; Gosport, 59i 60; North Mid-
land; 69 70; the New Shares, 34 35 ; Blackwell, 12 to 14;
the New Shares, 10; and Brighton, 361 363 per share.
The Foreign Exchanges were all firm, and in some instances
higher than on Friday. Amsterdam, 12 43 12 5 ; Rotterdam,
12 5 12 5* ; Antwerp, 12 43 12 5 ; Hamburgh, 13 12i 13 13 ;
Frankfort, 1513 151} ; Paris, 25 80 25 55 ; Vienna, 9 53 954 ;
Madrid, 36i ; and Lisbon, 54.
The private letters by the India Mail add but little com-
mercial information to that which has already appeared in The
Sun. The failure of a small establishment at Calcutta is men-
tioned, but the limited extent of its business renders it of but
trifling importance. There have been no other foreign arriyals.

INSPECTION OP THE 15TH REoimENT.--Lieutenant
General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.8., and G. C. H. inspectedthis regiment yesterday on Woolwich-common. The compa-
nies assembled at eleven o'clock, A.M.. and were commanded
by Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley. The evolu-
tions were performed in a manner to the entire satisfaction of
the gallant Lieutenant-General, which be was phased to ex-
press to Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, their
commanding officer, who communicated to the officers and
men his approbation that.they had all performed their duties so
well. Previous to leaving Woolwich the officers of the 15th
regiment have been invited to dine at the mess of the Royal
Artillery.
CAPTURE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday last
Messrs. F. and C. Corrance, while trolling in a moat surround-
in^ a farmhou,e in the occupation of Mr. H. Keen, of Parham,
Suffolk, took two enormous pikes, the longest weighing 361 b.,
and measuring in length 4 feet; the other weighing 191 b., and
measuring from tip to tail 3 feet 3 inches.
The Leipsic Gazette announces that the circulation
in Prussia a a French work, recently publi,hed in Paris,,
entitled" Prussia and her political and religious Government,"
has been prohibited, although not a single copy of that work
had yot found its way into Prussia.
