MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Ann Pa!field was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a table cloth, value 65., the property of her mistress. Charles Keep, assistant to Mr. Charles Greave, pawnbroker, No. 8, Bulstrode-street, stated that on Saturday evening last, about six o'clock, the prisoner cause into his employer's shop, and offered the table cloth now produced in W pledga. Witness asked her if the property was her own. She replied it was, and that she wanted 3s. advanced upon it. In consequence of his suspicions he looked at the corner, and found the name of Gowan, 38, Howland-street, marked upon it. He therefore detained it, and gave the prisoner into custody. lie afterwards sent to that address, and informed the prosecutrix of the circumstance. Mrs. Charlotte Gowan, No. 38, Howland-street, Fitzroysquare, said the prisoner had been in her service for about' a fortnight, during which time she (witness) bad missed several articles, and amongst them the table cloth produced by last witness, which she identified as being her property. ,She never authorised the prisoner to pledge it. Police-constable 89 E, proved receiving charge of the prisoner, and conveying her to the station, where she was searched, and ten duplicates relating to various articles of wearing apparel and table linen found upon her. He subsequently informed the prosecutrix of the prisoner being in custody.—The prisoner was remanded.  In the discount market things are decidedly easier, bough accommodation is still much limited, and very high rates are paid. For first-class short paper six, and a quarter per cent, has been freely paid to-day, and for other kinds of good paper rates up to eight per cent. have been given. The Bank has, however, been discounting pretty freely for the last two days, and at has infused more confidence into other quarters. It is also understood that the directors have determined to continue their discounts on the same, or even a mere liberal scale early in the week. There is no doubt that much of the increased ease felt in the market to-day is attributable to the operations of the Russian Government. Beyond this, however, a considerable amount of gold has conic from Paris during the week, amounting, as near as we can ascertain, to 200,0001., and on the whole, therefore, the accounts of the Bank, made up till to-night, and which will be published next week, must show an increase of bullion. The high state of the exchanges, although caused by the great scarcity of money, will have the effect of bringing gold from Holland, though not to a great extent, but these imports will at least serve to set off against the shipments by the American steamer on the 4th. A considerable quantity of silver is also in London, and more is on the eve of arriving, which, owing to the proportion which the Bank is permitted to hold with gold being full, is quite unsaleable here, and must be sent to the Continent, and be drawn against or geld received in return for it. If our demand for corn were now nearly or quite satisfied, the exchanges and our stock of bullion would be quickly adjusted, as circumstances all begin to work to that end; and we hope as it is that for a month or six weeks much more ease and confidence will be experienced.-- Chronicle, City article.
