WORSHIP-STREET.

Jeremiah Kelly, a tall athletic man, was brought before
Mr. Broughton upon a charge of having violently as-
saulted his wife, a woman of diminutive stature, who was
several years older than the prisoner.
From the evidence of the complainant (whose face was
disfigured with bruises) it appeared that at the time of
her marriage with the prisoner, she was in very comfort-
able circumstances, but he soon squandered away her
little property in riot and debauchery, and since her
means became exhausted, he had been in the habit of
behaving in the most brutal manner towards her. On
Wednesday night he returned home in such a drunken
state that he was incapable of ill-using her as he inva-
riably did under such circumstances ; but he awoke at
an early hour in the morning, and commenced a violent
attack upon her, tearing the hair out of her head, and
swearing that he would murder her. lie afterwards
kicked her out of bed, and on her calling out for assist--
ance he seized hold of her throat, and compressed it till
she was almost strangled. The only motive he assigned
for his brutal conduct was, that she was too old and too
ugly for him, and he was resolved to get rid of her.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

POST.— There seems to be a suspicion abroad that
the funds requisite to carry out the capitalisation scheme
of Senor Gamboa have not been procured, and as some,
of the bondholders may be disposed to make needless
sacrifices of their property in consequence, we think it
right to state that the
.fact scarcely admits of a doubt.
A considerable portion of the money was, as we have be-
fore explained, to be advanced by the bank of San Fer-
nando, an establishment of the good faith of which
there can be as little question as of the power. We
learn, moreover, from authentic sources, that this part
of the affair has, in truth, been definitively settled.
Some minor points connected with the project have
perhaps yet to be arranged, or it may be that the
whole of the members of the Commission appointed
have not reached London. The bondholders should, at
any rate, prepare themselves for a certain delay in the
actual payment. We have reason to believe that the
Ambassador, General Sancho, has written out very
energetically to his Government on the subject of the
advertised, but still unpaid, Treasury bills, and as, to
proceed to the liquidation of posterior claims while they
remain in abeyance and dishonour, would be an un-
paralleled act or treachery, and the most fatal stab of all
to Spanish credit, that business may have the effect of
protracting the final execution of the measure. Under
all the circumstances, it is not impossible that M. Bor-
rajo and his coadjutors may have orders, as a prelimi-
nary matter, to ascertain the state of feeling which pre-
vails among the different classes of creditors, or, as the
French neatly express it, tatonner le terrain.
We may venture, in the meanwhile, to intimate to,
Senor Borrajo. that, as lie cannot but be aware of the
uneasiness of the public on the.subject of his mission,
the least lie could have done, in propriety, would have
been at once to make known his arrival, and to add the
assurance of his having the pesos duros safe in his pos-
session, for the most speedy distribution that was at all
practicable. Such a course of proceeding would not
only have conveyed the idea of a desire on his part to,
show the bondholders common civility, but it would
have served, at the same time, to silence reports injurious
to his Gouernment, and to check the stock-jobbing ope-
rations consequent upon them, in which, tor aught we
know, it may be their conviction that he is himself an
interested party. The present Spanish Government are
not so ignorant of the transgressions of their predeces-
sors in power as to flatter themselves that the bond-
holders will take on trust all they choose to utter at
Madrid. The circumstance that M. Borrajo is known to
have at length got through his arduous journey to Lon-,
don, and that he is actually at hand to proceed to busi-
ness, if he thought fit to do so, tends to increase the sus-
picion that there must be something wrong.
As this matter was still in suspense, the Chairmin of
the Treasury bondholders, with that zeal and prompti-
tude for which he is distinguished, waited in the course
of the day on Senor Murrieta for the purpose of ascer-
taining from him, if possible, whether the intended pay-
ment would include an instalment of any kind for the
constituency represented by him. Mr. Tasker requested
to be explicitly informed of the truth, yes or no, in order
that he might be able to answer the anxious inquiries of
parties addressing him on the subject of their claims, now
between five and six years overdue ; when, to his
great surprise, he learned that Senor Murietta could say
nothing, and who, in fact, disclaimed having anything
whatever to do with the business. This may, indeed
well account for the brevity of M. Murrieta's note in
reply to Mr. Thornton, as to the nature of his in-
structions.

SUN.—The Stock Market did not to-day present any
remarkable feature, neither the public nor the jobbers
coming forward to operate. Prices on the average were
sustained notwithstanding. Money is still easy. Consols
for present transfer were done at 89 to 89i closing
sellers at this latter rate, and for Account at 89} to it.
The Unfunded Debt remained at 16s. to 18s. premium,
and East India Bonds at 10s. to 12s. premium. Bank
Stock was worth 167, and India Stock 2471. The New
Three-and-a-Ralf per Cents. were at 984 to 98+, and
the Three per Cent. Annuities at 89i to 89g.
The inactivity in Spanish Bonds at the present moment
is considered very remarkable, seeing that the specula-
tions for a long time past have been based almost solely
upon the expected arrival of Surra y Hull's Com-
missioner. The Active Bonds were to-day quoted
25 to 24+, being flat. Portuguese Three per Cents.
were at 20+ ; Mexican unproved to 291 30 ; Chilian
were steady at 70 - Brazilian advanced—to 84, sultPitus-
sian to 1151 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were
down to 51.

There was some flatness in the Railway Shares, but no
general depression. Brighton did not fluctuate much,
being 14 to 12i discount. Birmingham and London
were 7914, Manchester and Leeds 2, and Great Western
12 to 121 premium. National Provineittlkitt of•FAIr
land Shares improved to par.
The Foreign Exchanges were not so good this after-
noon, the rates being as follow :—Paris 25f. 72c. to
75c. ; Frankfort 1493 to 150 ; Amsterdam 12 4} ; Ham-
burgh at 13 10f to a ; Antwerp 12 4; Trieste 9 51 to 52.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND 'OINTNIENT.-
AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mrs. Pry, of Trafalgar.;
street, Wahvorth, was, on the 16th of April, admitted
to .Guy's Hospital as a patient, with a bad leg of five
years' standing ; it was nearly as hard a bone, with nine
ulcers and frightfully swollen. Not deriving the least
benefit from the treatment in the Hospital, she left it 01'4
the 16th of May; and on the 18th of October she we 4::
brought to Professor Holloway's establishment in a cart,,:.
with her leg wrapped in a blanket. In five weeks it was -
radically cured by means of the Ointment and Pills,
which are sold at the Proprietor's Establishment, 244,
Strand, near Temple-bar, where advice may be had
gratis ; and sold by every respectable chemist through-
out the kingdom. The Ointment will immediately cure

THE " OBSERVER" NEWSPAPER.--Persons
desirous of preserving a faithful report, for future re-
ference, of the proceedings connected with the splendid
ceremony of the Christening of his Royal highness the
Prince of Wales, are recommended to preserve the two
next Observers ; that of Sunday, Jan. 23, will contain
all the preliminary particulars, and the Observer of Sun-
day, Jan. 30, will comprise the most correct aceount of
the ceremonial. •

The day before yesterday, as two forest-keepers
were going their rounds in a wood near Versailles, to
watch the persons admitted to pick the dead sticks, they
found a man cutting down live wood with a bill-hook.
On their desiring him to desist, he insulted and threat-
ened to attack them. The keepers attempted to seize
him, and in the struggle one of their guns, which he was
trying to wrest from their hands, went off, and killed him
on the spot.
A " WHOLE HOG " SUNDAY SCHOOL
TEACHER.—At the conclusion of a.tea-party of Sunday
school teachers, at Zion-school, Wibsey, the following
sentiment was proposed, " The Queen and the Prince .
of Wales—may sue prove a polls mother, and he an
obedient 'and affectionate son:: The speaker paused,
and then added," And may his father send him to a
Sunday school !"
