similar accounts from the other parts of the province.

:MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPE-AS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.-It
Consols have the same quotation for Money and the Ac-
count so long before the settling day. The explanation
generally given is, that a quantity of stock is now from
time to time sold by the speculators for the rise during
the progre,,s of the former account, for the purpose of
closing that account, and that all the stock in the market
is continually absorbed by the purchases of the public.
Thus, while on the one hand the operations have been
such as to depress the values for time, on the other hand
the public have steadily supported the money price of
stock. As, however, it is expected that the remains of
the old." Bull" account are nearly all disposed of, it is
thought that the time-value of stock will soon have a
firmness corresponding to the money value.
Though it has ceased to be necessary to offer any
caution to the public in the affair of the Westminster
Loan and Investment Company, the circumstances which
arise from day to day relative to its proceedings, and
the actors in them are not unworthy of notice. These,
for the most part, are very fully described in the police.
reports, but several Correspondents have commented
strongly on the conduct of the solicitor, who, by his own
account, had been employed by the shareholders to wind
up the concern, and who has since admitted that the
only person with whom he held any communication, was
Mr. Charles Kerry Nicholls, the Managing Director
and Secretary, who held all the property, it' any "x
isted, under his control, out of which the liquidation was
to he or!oed. !Ind who ~•,s for chief.' ro.rty
responsible to the shareholders and depositors for their
losses. The solicitor's proper course would have bee.n.
to loam first whether any assets remained, and then if

any respectable shareholders were forthcoming who
~
had been wholly unconnected with the management, and
by this to guide his further movements, not forgettingl
there was another class—that is, the depositors—who
were still more in need of protection. After what has
transpired, however, through the police reports, the pro-
bability is that there is nothing to divide.
CHRONICLE.—The claims of the wine trade to a
drawback on their stocks on hand, so as to give them
the benefit of any reduction in the duties through a coral
mercial treaty with Portugal, seem. to. be well founded, to
Sir George Clerk is old enough to know that these are •.!
not times for attempting to defeat the ends of justice by
drawing technical distinctions.. Sir George says that itl
is not the practice for the "Board of Customs' to Im-1
pose or to make a return of duty on the stocks on bend.
We shall not directly dispute the practice of the Board.
of Customs, in opposition to a member of the Govern-
went possessing such perfect means of obtaining corkM.t,
information; but' we remember very well that in May,
1840, when Mr. Baring imposed the. additional .per
centage on the Custom and Excise duties, the mercantile
interests made a serious compbtint that the additional
duties were made exigible on their stocks in hand, and
strong remonstrances were forwarded, in consequence,
to the Treasury; but we do not understand that these
remonstrances were attended with success. On
contrary, it was shown by Mr. Baring that on pre'.;t.
vious occasions, and particularly in June, 1830, wheq:,;l
Mr. Goulburn was Chancellcr of the Exchequer, that one
additional spjrit duty was imposed from the date of the
resolutionS, and levied upon the stocks in the warehouses
in this country. The only concession granted was a pro-
vision in the Bill founded on the resolutions applicable
to contracts by which, in cases where delivery had no;
taken place, previous to the date of the resolutions, the
duty was ordered to be added to the price. When we. •
see, therefore, that on previous occasions the crown
reaped the benefit of the additional duties impoSOd, it
seems but fair, on the other hand, that the trade should
new enjoy the advantage of the reduction on the duties
affecting the wines of Portugal. Surely Sir George
Clerk does not mean to contend that there can be One
rule fll. the Board of Customs and another for the Board
of Excise. Yet it is beyond the pwer of dispute that,
as respects the Excise duties at least, it has been the
practice" to impose the additional duties on account of
the stocks on hand, making provision only for cases of
previous contract not completed by delivery.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO W-STREET.

A lad, named James Connor, who was in a dreadful state 0
filth, was placed at the bar, charged with sleeping in the open
air at the door of St. Giles's workhouse.

The policeman stated he knew the lad to have been lately in,
the employ of Mr. Oakley, shoemaker, of No. 6, Little Wild;
street, and that having left there, he bad slept for the last three
nights at the door of the workhouse, in the hopes of getting
Wednesday night being so very tempestuous witness took hia
to the station-house, out of compassion, for rest and shelter.
The lad stated that he had applied to Mr. Tucker, the over-
seer of the workhouse, for a lodging, but he would not admit
him. He told Mr. Tucker that he had no where else to go,
and if he would not admit him he must remain and sleep out-
side ; and there he had remained and slept for the last three
nights. He was nineteen years of age, and bad been dismisse4
from Mr. Oakley's because there was no more work for him ;
work was very flack now. He had neither father nor mother,
nor a single friend in the wide world.
Mr. Twrroan appeared to think it a bard case that a fel-
low-being should be refused admission into a workhouse, and be
compelled to sleep in the open air on a night so awfully tern.'
pestuous as Wednesday night; he ordered the policeman te
take the lad to the workhouse, inquire Why he had not been,
admitted, and let him know the result of his inquiries.
The policeman returned, and said that Mr. Tucker took the
boy in directl3, and stated as a reason for not having taken hies
in before that it was necessary to inquire previous to doing eo
whether he wasaparishioner.___

GREENWICH POLICE.
Yesterday, the four persods who had been held to bail for
their appearance on a charge of inciting the mob to rescue Dr.
M'Douall, from the custody of the police, on Wednesday night,
avpearid before Mr. Jeremy. They gave the names, AM
Dowling, No. 8, Marlborough-piaCe, Chelsea ; Conrad War-
ren, No. 4, Waterloo-place, Knightsbridge ; Joseph Muchlow,
Rotherhithe-street, Rotherhithe, and Thomas Varden, Si-
monii's-row, Somers Town. The CoUrt and its vicinity was
as much crowded as on the previous day. Dowling's ease
was first heard.

John White, 180 R, was sworn, and said, I was at the meet"
ing on Tuesday night. • Upon Dr. M'Douall being taken int°
custody, I saw the prisoner seize and endeavour to rescue him,
calling out to the mob, " Down with the police ; don't
let them take the Doctor," which he called out several times*,
I seized him, when he said, " You butcher, leave go 01'
me." I kept him in custody until Le got to the station-house*
In answer to the prisoner witness said he did not say " I mtis ,
have one of these men."
William Bassett, 237 R, stated that he heard Dowling re",
peatedly call out "Down with the police, down with the butchers,
to the rescue ; don't let them take the Doctor."
Cross-examined—l did not say at the chapel" I have marked,;
you " I had no doubt at the station about your being the rne°,
who used the expressions. The Superintendent told me not Icise
say what I did not hear.
Mr. Mallalieu was sworn to the fact of Bassett identifying.
Dowling as the man who had been most active in inciting'
the mob.

A person named Cooke, a tailor, living in Lisson-grove, was
called by the prisoner. He stated that he had been invited to
address the meeting in the Broadway, which he did from the
pump.
Mr. JEREMY—WiII you swear that you was invited to ad;
dress the meeting in the Broadway ? Witness—l am no
bound to answer every question.
tho
liMr. JEREMY—You are bound to answer all questions 't.
Court which are likely to promote the ends of justice.
ness—l was invited.
Mr. JEREMY—That was before any disturbance. Witness
—I deny there was any disturbance.
The witness, however, declared that he was with Dowling,
who was very quiet, at half-past nine, when it was proved that
he was locked up in the station-house at half-past eight.
Mr. JEREMY, addressing Dowling, said it was better for his
sake that the case should go no further, and the prisoner agree-
ing to that, he was willing to take a very considerate view of
he matter, and only required him to find sureties for
his future good behaviour.
By the advice of Dr. lll'Douall the prisoner agreed to this,
and bail being given, he was discharged.
The cases against the other prisoners were of a similar de-
scription, and were disposed of in the same manner.
Mr. JEREMY said application had been made to him by Dr;
M'Douall for a copy of the charges made against him and
the other individuals. He (Mr. J.) had no power to grai4
the request, the police being the party to whom he must apply.
Dr. M'Douall said he had applied and it had been refused.
Mr. Mallalieu replied that the sheet containing the charges.,„,
would be forwarded to the Police Commissioners that after.
noon, to whom Dr. M'Douall might apply ; but he certainly
would not allow him to see it.
Dr. /ll‘Douall —I shall then take two witnesses with toe to
London to prove your refusal. He then left the Court.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The benefit of Mr.
Oxberry took place at this theatre on Wednesday. The best
performance of the night was Deaf as a Post, in which Mr'.
Oxberry and Mr. Harley were greatly applauded. In the •
favourite burletta, also, of Capers and Coronets, Mr. Oxberry 's
enactment of the mercurial valet was happy and excelleat•
Mrs. Grattan's comic and sentimental song, a portion of the
Stabat Mater, the burlesque on the ballet Grizelle,: and the '
nautical piece of the Dream at Sca, and other amusing inter-
udes, made the audience, which was numerous, well gratified
ith their evening's entertainment.

THE ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.— EVENING COl4.
CERT.—Wednesday night there was agrand concert at this in'i
teresting institution, containing a good selection of vocal and
instrumental music, very well performed. The entertainment
was divided into two parts. Part I. commenced with the
overture (Auber's) in Massaniello, played by the whole or-
chestral band, after which, the ballad of " Balmy May," Wee
sung by ;digs Dolby; " The Mermaid's Song," by Mies
Bassano, which was loudly encored. A grand fantasia which
Mr. T. Julian Adams performed with considerable taste, was
much applauded. " The Infant Sappho" closed the first part'
with one of those interesting fantasias which she makes so by
the naivete of her manner and her extreme youthfulness; ber
exertions were as usual much applauded. The second part con"
menced with Auber's overture to Fra Diavolo, after which Mr •
demoiselle Grisi sang an aria very pleasingly from Rossintse,;',
Stabat Mater. Mademoiselle Moltini, next sang a solo, ac'
eo:npanied on the piano. Immediately after which Mons.
Deloffre played with great taste, judgment, and skill, a fantail*
. 0
(" Le Bluets ") on the violin, which was very warmly remit -. 4
and encored. Mademoiselle Grisi and Madame Adelaide Dells
Lena, next performed a duet from the Stabat Mater. See:
rat other pieces were played and sang, which gave owl
satisfaction to the audience. Betw en the first and sewn°
parts the wonders of the microscope were shown; and at the
close of the concert several dissolving views were exhibited,
such as Scenes in Affghanistan, the Fortress of Ghuzni, Stc.;
then the infant Sappho ; after which a, clever pictorial corape-
sition, representing Psyche carried by Zephjrs to the Gardene-,,
