The case was one of the grorest mature, end he was sure that after bearing all the evidence they would be sanded that the poor girl had been cruelly ill-treated and nearly starved.

Charlotte Oa ken% wife of William Cattrem—l live at the schools at Sutton. I remember the girl coming back on Monday, the 19th of December. She begged of me to admit her.

She soon began to r im zrze..examm ed by Mr. Robinson—l maw her bikes she went into Mrs. Thomas's service, when she was in !good health, and her hands were not wounded. Jane Walton, a nurse in the infirmary of the schools—l remember the girl being admitted on the 19th of December : she was half-starved, much neglected, dirty, black eyes, and cuts on the face and hands. She was also very weak, and on examination 1 found bruises about the shoulders. She was so weak, that when she sat down she wee unable to move without assistance. She remained from the 19th to the 25th in the infirmary, and during that time she was always eating. By Mr. Robinson—When she left the [infirmary she entered the school and mixed with the other girls. Mr. James Broad, surgeon, practising at Mitcham—On the 20th of December I was celled in to examine the girl Jarvis. I found her of emaciated appearance. Her cheeks were sunken, her eyes hollow, one was black and cut. There were two large swellings on the back of the hands, especially the middle finger of the left hand. The nails bad black blood under all of them. The limbs were flaccid and deficient in power. The breast was also in that condition. There were bruises on both elbows and on her back, and she was in au extremely weak condition. In my opinion her emaciated condition was caused by an insufficient and improper food. The case for the prosecution closed with the evidence of Mr. Evans, surgeon, and the court adjourned for a short time. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci. The funds to-day are quiet, at yesterday's closing quotations. In the other markets the amount of general business has been only moderate. The continued rise in Ot toman Bank shares forms a feature of interest. English railway stocks present little movement. Foreign docks are for the most part well supported, except Russian anti Spanish, which are heavy. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 45c., being 6c. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 921 to / for money, and 921 to 93 for the account (March 5). The official business; report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 1; ditto for account, 921 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 1, 93, 921 ; New Three per Cents., 93, 921; Bank Stock, 239, 237, 239 ; Thirty Years Annuities, 1885, 151; India Stock, 227 ; ditto Five per Cent. stock, 1084, 108 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 100 ; Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 1051 ; and Ex chequer Bills, 13. dia. Russian and Spanish securities are drooping. Italian Five per Cents. are steady. New Granada Two per Cents. have advanced, Egyptian and Mexican Bonds are inquired for, and Greek have risen about f per cent. Turkish remain steady. Some of the present quo tations are subjoined :-Turkish, 1854 Loan, 90 to ; ditto, 1858, 7 3 1 to 7 4 ; ditto, 1862, 7 0 4 to f ; the Consolidds, 411 to ; Greek, 21 to 1 ; and Vene zuela Six per Ciente., 601 to 611.

The ease in the discount market becomes daily more apparent. Three months bills were taken yes terday at 41 to 41 per cent., with transactions even at 41. It is further significant of the tendency of the market that six months bills were discounted yesterday at 4} per cent. It is consequently ex pected that the minimum at the Bank of England (where business yesterday was decidedly slack) will be lowered either to 41 ( or 4 per cent. within the next ten days. The Arabia, from Boston, has brought 60,0001. I in specie ; and the Ripon, from Alexandria, 15M51. The New York advice. show that the exchange, previously reported at 175, has relapsed to 173+, and the premium on gold from 59 to 571 per cent. Another important addition is likely to be made to the list of amalgamations of private banking businesses with joint-stock concerns. It is said that an arrangement has been made for a transfer of the business of Messrs. Heywood, Kennard, and Co., the private bankers, of Lombard-street, to the Bank of Manchester (Limited). In this case the bank in London would probably act as the metro politan agency of the establishment at Manchester. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Friday next a special settling day in the shares of the following companies, vu.:—British and Foreign Marine Insurance, New Zealand Trust and Loan, Anglo-Portuguese Bank, St. Cuthbert Lead Smelting, and Oil Wells of Canada. The three former undertakings are to be marked in the official daily list, and the two latter in that pub lished tildes a week. Sir Robert Walter Carden, who was until re cently chairman of the City Bank, has become chairman of the English and Irish Bank (Limited). The adjourned meeting of the North Stafford shire Railway Company was held at the London Tavern to-day to learn the result of the poll, which is as follows:—For the amendment of Provost Anderson ordinary shares, 53,968 • for the motion of the dir e ctors , ' ordinary shares, 4 8,433: majority for Provost Anderson, ordinary shares, 5,635. For the motion of the directors, preference shares, 30,316; for the amendment, preference shares, 2,1911: majority, preference shares, 28,120. ,a majority for the adoption of tile report, 22,585 shares, 3,841 votes. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,1751 over last year ; and the South Eastern an increase of 2,0621. On behalf of the London and North Western Railway Shareholders' Association ' the following resolutions will be proposed at the forthcoming meeting of this company, to be held in London on the 20th instant : lst.—That this gradual and continuous decline in the value of this property is clearly traceable to the mistaken policy of the directors, who, instead of relying on the in herent resources of the railway, and • steady development and economical working of the traffic, have sought to Web halt • territorial monopoly by unwise and unprofitable ex tensions and improvident purchases, leases, and guarantees of competing companies, whereby the capital ham been wastefully expended, and the us absorbed to meet the losses sad liabilities thereby incurred ; and this meet ing is of opinion that • stop ought to be put to any further expenditure on capital account, except such as is necessary to oomplete unfinished works, and that no further liabilities should be incurred by leas ing or in any other way subsidising competing schemes. 2nd. That the basins and working mansoremiuit of • rail way require that the whole time, attentioo, sod energy of those engaged in it should be exclusively devoted to the duties. And that, inasmuch as the mode electing directors affords oo guarantee of fitness for these duties, and as the social sad independent position of directors, combined with their private engagements, render it impossible that they can give that continuous attention which the working ma nagement of a railway demands, this meeting is of opinion that the management should be confided to • paid staff of °Seers including • managing director as the chief, wheaten be competent to carry out the policy of the directors, and cooduct the business affairs of the coinnauy ; and that the directors should confine thenualve to iiiitiating and con trolling the general policy, appointing the chief officers, and supervising their proceedings by a periodical exanunation and companion of the esoess and net praised' of the various sections of the railway. - . The directors of the British and Irish Magnetic I Telegraph Company have declared a half-yearly' dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum on the I consolidated stock. A general meeting of the shareholders will be held on the 24th inst. at Liverpool. The certificates of the reserved shares in the Lon don, Buenos Ayres, and River Plate Bank, allotted on the 27th January, are now ready for delivery. A call of 21. is to be paid by the 21st May ou ; the shares of the South African Irrigation and In vestment Company (Limited). A call of 1/. is to be paid by the 7th March on the shares of the Iberian Irrigation Company (Limited), under which title there has apparently been effected a private reorganisation of the Spanish Irrigation Company, which was introduced to the market a few months ago but subsequently with drawn, in deference to the Stock Exchange decision, excluding Spanish projects. The first ordinary general meeting of the Metro politan Railway Carriage and Wagon Company (Limited) will be held at Birmingham ou the 25th instant. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 30th January, were 13,0191. sterling, being 2,4861. more than in the corresponding week of last year. We have received a copy of the prospectus of the Bt. James's Hotel Company, Limited. This pro ject has the advantage of a highly respectable board, which, though comprising few names known in the city, is very suitable for an establishment of the sort, and in the locality proposed. The pre mises comprise the site of the Old Gloucester Hotel, at the corner of Berkeley-street, Piccadilly, where premises recently erected have been secured. By this means the expenses and delay involved is building will be avoided, and the hotel can be fur nished and made ready for opening by Lady-day at the latest. Under these circumstance; a capi tal of only 20,0001. is stated to be required, but the registered capital has been fixed at 50,0001., ' in order to enable the company to pur chase the interest of the lessor, if the shareholders should at any time think it desirable." More than half the capital neoe arp to commence business has already been subscribed. It is stated that there is no promotion money. We have received a copy of the prospectus of the City of Norwich Hotel and Public Assembly-rooms Company (Limited). This undertaking is formed under extremely respectable local auspices. Nor wish being badly provided both with hotel accom modation and with rooms adapted for public pur poses, it is intended to erect a first-class hots w ith assembly, ball, and lecture rooms, on a very e • 'hie site within about 300 yards of the terminus the Great Eastern Railway. The contractors are Messrs. Lucas Brothers, who are to finish the whole of the works within 18 months. It is mentioned that there are no promoters' fees nor preliminary expenses of any kind. The capital is 50,000!., in 10,000 shares of 51. each, a large number of which have already been taken by the directors and their friends. We are requested to state that the share list of the St. James's Hotel Company wiU be closed on the 20th instant. Messrs. Dent, Palmer, and Co. have announced the half-yearly dividend due the lit Marsh on the 'TurkishSix per Cent. Loan of 1858. The dividends due the Ist March are also advertised on the Anglo-Peru an Unconverted Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Active Bonds. _ _ _ The half-yearly interest is advertised on Panama Railroad Seven per Cent. Bonds of 1872. Mr. Mihill Slaughter, the Secretary of the Rail ways Department of the Stock Exchange, has issued No. 12 of his "Railway Intelligence. "f In this volume, which, like its predecessors, is published under the sanction of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, Mr. Slaughter has brought down to the present date a series of railway statistics and other explanatory matter, which has long been regarded as most valuable. The finance of several of our principal railways, including the Great the Great Western, the London, Chatham, ste a r Dover, and the Grand Trunk of Canada, has latterly been a good deal affected by amalgamations or other arrangements—a circumstance which renders the present edition the more welcome. Amongst other points it is noticed as a satisfactory feature of railway finance that in many companies the debt is gredusily diminishing, and the debenture stock as gradually rising in amount. This is especially apparent in the accounts of the Great Northern and Brighton Companies. • Published by the author, at the Bieck Szehaage. NoirDAT_ EvErTa.
