COFFEE.—Abuut 2,000 bags native Ceylon were sold yes terday on 'Change, at 495. ficl. to 600.. and the article has a firm appearance to-day. TEA.—The holidays and the general desire not to aug ment stocks the last week of year, prevents us reporting any business of importance to-day. Suoza.—There has been a very large amount of business done in this article during the year, as during the last six months a vast number of floating cargoes of liavannah and Brazil bays beta sail in this market, the exporters finding it to be profitable to order vessels to touch at England for orders or sale, and the reduction on the duty has enabled both refiners and grocers to buy this description, and ex porters have also found it convenient to buy foreign. The fluctuation in prices has not exceeded 2e. during the year, and the closing price is about the same as at this period last year.

At Paris to-day, after the decline of _yesterday, there was a rise of 1 to 1 per cent. in the French funds. Consols opened at 931 to 94 ex. div. for the 18th Jan., declined to 93?, to 4, advanced to 941 to 1,, and were quoted at the official close 94 to 1. This was also thequotation current at 4 o'clock, the intermediate variation having been a rally to 941 to 1. The offi cial business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

The foreign stock market was inanimate, with little feature beyond a fell of 1 per cent. in the Rue sign Five per Cents. The chief transactions were in Mexican, which experienced little variation in price. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 24 to 1.

There is still a limited inquiry for gold, for remit tance to the Continent. The gold brought in by the Mayflower from Ade laide, the arrival of which we reported yesterday, Missists of four boxes, which are consigned to the Dirk of Australasia, and the value of which is Jo do market for foreign exchange*, to-day, the of eaten WOW rather more unfavourable, an allpti ll & M ir y for bills on Hamburg, which were dealt in as low as 13.41, and were in general request. Paper on Amsterdam was in good . demand at 11.151. On Paris the rate remains stationary, at 25.30 at three months, and 26.05 short. On St. Petersburg the quotation ruled at 371 to Id. Bills on Vienna and Trieste ruled at higher rates, and were much offered, indicating the continuance of a feeling of distrust. We understand that several large holders of Petit vian Bonds are about to invite a meeting of their fellow bondholders for the 12th January, with a view to devising measures for the common protection. Hamburgh letters, received this day, report money as tight at 41 per cent., and the exchange on Lon don 1 *chilling lower, with little demand for bills. The Cyclone, now loading in the London Docks, is to sail next week, and will convey the requisite appa ratus for the royal mint about to be established at Sydney. A gentleman connected with the establish ment left last month in the Maid of Judah to make the preliminary arrangements, and it is intended to commence operations with the least possible daisy. The necessary apparatus, which is stated to be et a new and improved kind, has been supplied by Messes. Morgan and Rees. The half-yearly dividend on the Harrisburg and Lancaster five per cent. sterling bonds is advertised as payable on the 2nd January, by Messrs. D. and J. Salomon'. The Europa brine in from New York the further large amount of 845,000 dollars (about 175,0011 E sterling) in specie on freight. The New York ad vices mention, however, that the exchange market was abundantly supplied with bills, and that the rates for sterling were sensibly lower, bills being freely offered at the close at 1091 to i,t. The markets on that side continue to maintain a more favourable appearance. The subjoined is extracted from the circular of Megan. Cammann and Co., dated New York, the 13th inst.: The fluctuations in the stock market during the fortnight have been immaterial. There is, however, a general firm ness, although the transactions are quite limited, and but little of a speculative spirit is visible. The effect of the last accoents from Europe is rather nalavourable but as a fair amount of orders for the purchase of railroad bonds, Le.. were received, this description of securities has *deemed. Both classes of Erie Railroad convertible bonds amain% and fully 8 per cent. higher. But few or no private tram- actions in United States loans now take place, the govern ment being the sole buyer to eny extent at present rates. The total amount of debt cancelled from Ist July, 18.52, to lot last., is stated by the Secretary of the Treasury, in his annual report, at 16,064,929.75 dole. The existing debt at the date of the report was 46,396,167 dole. The balance in the Treasury, on 30th September last, 28,217,887.78 doll. The estimates of rectipts and expenditures ter the fiscal year ending 30th June next, result in a surplea of 11,266,604.62 doll., after deduction of 15,000,000 dole., the appropriation of which to further purees:es of the outstand ing loans is recommended. As • means of reducing the revenues of the government gradually to the stendert of its exigencies, it is proposed to reduce the duties on certain ar ticles, and to add many now taxed to the free list. Notice has been given that the department will continue to pus , chive the several loans on the same terms as heretofore, until lot January next. The supply of money continues ' large at 6to 7 per cont. on call, but the demand for the last few days has been rather more active. There is but a limited amount of good paper offered, end first class names are readily taken at Bto 10 per cent. But very few railroad notes are now in market. The exports of gold to Europe since our last report amount to 1.6116,680 don., eementing almost entirely of lapels from California. The receipts from this source for the same period have been 4,260,000 dole. At Paris to-day (Tuesday) the Three per Cent. Bastes closed for money at 74.60 ; the Four-acid-a- Half per Cents. at 101.50; and Bank Shares at 2,850. Compared with the depressed closing rates of yesterday, the Three per Cents. show an improve ment of 80c., and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. of 1 per cent. Land shares to-day were quiet. Australian Agri cultural shares were rather more offered, and South Australian Land declined per share. Bank shares presented no feature, beyond some little flatness as the shares of the new institutions connected :Ftr d Australia. Crystal Palace shares continue to be largely sold, and closed at 1 13.16 to 1 15.18 prem. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Com pany's shares have been dealt in at 67 ex div. and bonus.

Australian Freehold shares were flatter, on the meeting of dissatisfied shareholders held to-day, the proceedings at which terminated by the appointment of a committee of investigation (as detailed in another column). With reference to the committee appointed by the shareholders of the British Australian Gold Mining Company, we understand the board pursue the unwise course of ignoring it altogether, and of refusing to give any detailed statement of accounts, &c., until the meeting, which the directors propose to call in March next. _ . .

The New York Tribune describes a new machine apparently destined to supersede the diving bell, and which has been experimented with at the Navy Yard, New York. The Dentine says The machine is of peculiar construction, being in fact • mechaucal nautilus, having the power of secant and de scent at wiP, entirely independent of suspension. In con meet with the machine at the surface, is a reservoir of condemned air, which, wording to depth of water, may contain from 20 to 120 pounds pressure of air to the equate inch. This compression is produced by a powerful pump capable of throwing 4,000 cubic feet of air per hour. By an interior arrangement of tanks, Re., a variable buoyancy may be given to the machine ; capable of lifting weights of tenor non tons ; it can be held in suspension at any point of ascent or descent, thus allowing stones to be raised clear from the bottom, then transported and deposited in any precire 'pot movement being effected in any direction eihateer by a series of three cables and anchors worked from the inside, anent and descent are effected in a most rend manner. This facility of descent, change of buoyancy, and power of movement under water, render this machine of great value for all submarine purposes. The whole bed of a river may be vutplontd from bank to bank—treason, pearl shells, corals, sponges, and all products uader water, may be easily gathered and sent to the surface, without re gutting the machine to rise to the surface. An arrange ment of the machine permits the digging of trenches under water, by which telegraph wires and water pipes may be placed below the reach of anchors. Foundations of mere may be prepared, and then built upon, obviating ell crane work for raising and lowering stone, as all work of lifting, transporting, and depositing is done by the machine hell. An arrat gement is also made for attaching camels to sunken ship, for raising them, by applying points of sum on directly to the timbers of the ship. In • word, the power or condensed air acting as a motor, does the whole work, merely reiuning two men inside and one at the reface to manage it. Mr. Lee, engineer of the com pel, cater d with his men and immediately commenced the descent, dep'Wof water 30 tett. He root the ant time in four seconds from the bottom, jumping almost clear from the water; another ascent was made, and movement was made toward the stern of the North Carolina, rising again at about one hundred feet distant. The machine, capable of holding ten pene s' , was moved with one band by Mr. Cults; who volunteered to descend. A party of gentlemen then catered and descended, removing the covet (four feat in diametet) from the bottom. Owing to descent into the mud the machine wos started rapidly to the suttees. PIMP' tau cearly cl e ar o f i t , an d i mme di ate l y disappearing. After retaining half an hour longer, the gentlemen reappeared. The satersa of the machine was perfect. The experiments were private, to receive the opinion of some of our most talented oaken of engineers. Capt. Hudson, Lieut. Boggs, olefin of th e y ar d, C apta i ns C u ll um an d Oil men o f th e seinen', General Ward B. Burnett, Mr. IL B. Parke, of Philadelphia, ea also • number of well kaown mer chants sad ship septaies were present. But one opinion was espreed, that an excellent practical machine was olp taised. TM dimensions of this machine are eleven feet greatest diameter in the centre, and eight feet at top and bottom ; height, eight feet ; opening in bottom to work thrush, four feet. The descent If attained by moving a allele valve, ascent by movement of one air and one water vole., The safety of this machine is great, as cutting off the air pipe, rant can be obtained by sit different modes la one animate. Some weeks since, Mr. Robert J. Walker, accompanied by the Manatee from the Ecuador, Professor Julien, of Beaton, and a party of gentlemen ' witnessed elpenassata st " Hell Gabe, Mr. Walker and Professor Jerking remaining below in communication with bottom at 3 7 NM lee Wee than half an hour. Thew gentlemen all expressed the sane opinion ris that of yesterday. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocic. The gold ;Q4;1;i; market remains dull, there being very little inquiry.

TELEGRAPHIC FACILITIES.—On the 21th inst. the London daily papers contained a telegraphic menage from Trieste announcing the news brought by the Bombay mail of the 28th inst.

MURDER AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A shocking murder has just been committed at Barnsley. The victim was named Thomas Husband, a labourer, employed at Mrs. Coalpit's at Silkstoo. He was a widower, about forty years of mite, and has lett three children. He was fond of representing that he bad lately come into possession of some property, and he was other wise noted for boasting about the amount of money he had in his possession, as well as for his liberality, to his pot companions. He had made proposals of marriage to several widow landladies in the town, and when he frequented their houses he used to spend his money liberally. On Sun day night, about eight o'clock, alter drinking at two pub he-houses, he proceeded on the turnpike to a lonely place on the Osborne side of Beevor Hall, followed, it is supposed, by several of his pot companions. His body was discovered the next day by the driver of an omnibus, the horses of which shit d as they came up to it. He immediately pulled up, and, the passengers alighting, found the deceased covered with mud and dirt and his 'sockets turned inside out. Their first impression was that the man was drunk, but on lifting him up they discovered teat his head hung loosely on his shoulders. This led to the belief that his neck was dislocated, and the fact was subsequently confirmed by the evidence of the surgeon. The omnibus drove up to the next toll-bar, about 150 yards further on the road, and information was given to the bar keeper, who went to take tare of the body until assistance arrived from Barnsley. A surgical examination rendered it dear that the deceased's death could nut have been oc casioned by accident ; and it was supposed that the deceased had been "croaked " and robbed. " Croaking "is effected by one person going behind another, putting kis knee agairat his victim's back and pulling his head backwards. An inquest has been commenced, but it stands adjourned. The deceased was seppused to have bad 'enrol pounds in his possession when he left the last public-house he visited. A KEEPER SOOT BY POACHERS. The Ipswich Express thus reports an affray which took place between some poacher+ and the keepers of John Bcreen, Esq., of Holbrook, on the night of Monday, the 19th instant .—At about half-put twelve on the night in question, a keeper named John Rush, hearing the report of a gun in the Holbrook Hardens, opened his chamber win dow and blew his railway whistle, as a signal to the keepers. He then dressed himself, and called up en assistant-keeper, named Thomas Manning, who lives in a cottage unit r the same roof, and they proceeded in the direction from whence the sound had been beard. Shortly after Rush called out for Manning to come back. Almost immediately after he had done so, Manning perceived one of the poachers, and pursued bim a distance of about two roils, when a second poacher made his appearance, and, from his movements, it appeared as if he wanted to melee his escape over the palings, but when he saw Manning, who was standing Just on the other side, ho drew back into the pre serves. Manning now proceeded for a short distance by the side of the gardens, thinking that the Poacher had gone in that direction, when some one behind him fired a gun, the charge from which entered the lower part of his person. Notwithstanding the intense agony he was suffering, Manning . courageously pursued the man in front, succeeded in earning u p with him, and seizing him by the collar of his coat; but the man flourishing a blud• geen and at the same time threatening him, and from the love of blued Manning had by this time sustained and the intense pain he was suffering from the gun-shot wounds, he was compelled to release his hold of the poacher. Just at this moment the second poacher, and the man whom Manning believed to be the person •ho fired the gun, ran by him in the direction of Woleerstone. The keeper Rush, having heard the report of the gun which had been fired at and wounded Manning, was soon upon the !pot, when he found poor Manning much exhausted, and groan ing piteously from the wounde he had sustained. With much difficulty he assisted the poor fellow to his Lome, a distance of a quarter of a mile. Mr Jarmans, surgeon, of Holbrook, was quickly in attendance upon the sutf..r.ng man, and applied rernedii s usual in such a case. From the examination he male, he discovered that no than 160 shots had entered Manning's person, tome of them to a depth of two inches. Up to Sunday evening last Man ning was going on as well as could be expected under all the circumstances. The poor fellow has a wile aril six children, and be has been in the service of John nee- nets, Esq., for the last fifteen months, and has beam an industrious and steady man. Much praise is due to Man ning, as well u to Eush, for the manner in which they acted. The police, under tint active and intei,igent officer, Sub-Inspector Bragg, have been actively at work since the brutal outrage to bring the offenders to justice, and hopes are entertained that before long they will be in Icustody. A MISER.—A man, named Bearing, (hid at. Chi!. compton lately, aged ninety-three. Ile would deny him• self almost every neerssat y, ei•her food, fire, or clothing. A fortnight since he was visited by a lady, who gave Wm a shilling, as he told her that he was perishing from cold, and want of food; he had the same tale fur any one who went to ace him. After his death there was discovered hid about the cottage nearly 200;., principally in guineas an,: half guineas; several suits of cothes, rotten from lying by ; and a quantity of coal in a pantry, which was bought by him about twenty•one years since, but which he was ton nig- I gardly to burn; ale, a will, wherein he lisqueattod ',.;091., Iwhich, it seems he had put out at interest, together with his other money, &c., to sum, relatives in America, leavmg • po r old relative, who had rendered him every ass'•.4...ce : in her power, without a shilling.— Western Flying Pose. n; SINGULAR CA S E.
