The petitioner was croes-eramined by Mr. Raymond, for the husband, who pleaded denial and provocation. Nothing material, however, was elicited from her. Sir C. Crum/ell granted a judicial separation, remark ing that it was a matter of surprise that the poor woman had so long endured her husband's ill-treatment.

Yestardayafter noon be came to my o ffi ce at 4, Plowden-buildings, I think it was about a quarter past two o'clock. He was alone at the time. When he came in he asked me how I was, and upon my asking him what hie beldam with me was he said he wanted some money. I told him I had nose for him, and he then requested me to give him the address d hie wife, from whom he has been sets, rated. I have been in the habit of paying him money entrusted to me by his wife for that purpose, but during the last three weeks she has sent it direct to him by Post-office order. I refused to give him her address, and said it was because I thought he wanted to annoy or ill-use her. He then asked what be was to do with iid. per week. Alderman Hale—Then he expected his wife to keep him! That is reversing the order of things. Witness—l told him I had nothing to do with either' , his or his wife's affairs, and turned away, upon which he said, " Then you don't intend to give me any thing'" sad at the same moment I felt a heavy blow cm my head. I looked round sod saw the prisoner with his arm upraised, in the act of giving me a mood blow with a heavy billhook which he bad in his hand. I sprang upon him, knocked the chopper out of his band, and threw him down. I knelt upon bier to keep him down, my head bleeding very much all the time. I eodeavoured to reach the poker to make an alarm with ; and while doing so he tried to get hold of the chopper spin, bet ! I b ribed it out at his mach, and said to " You brought per to take away my life with," upon which he •• did, end now you may take mine." I said I would give him into custody, but he replied that I might as well give him a knock on the head. I had no idea that he had an p z o m r spon when he came in. As soon as I had seen the locked up, I went to a surgeon and had my head drained. The doctor's certificate stated that the wound wean inch in length and extended right to the bone on the top of the right side of the head, but that it was not dangerous on account of its position. Alderman Hale—lt was a great mercy you were not killed. It is one of the most murderous seisults I ever had brought under my notice, and I shall certainly commit the prisoner for trial.

The large platform was filled with the members of the body, wearing the insignia of their order, which produced a brilliant effect, which was heightened by the decorations of evergreens, banners, and device* which surrounded the poem.

We bear that the liberal' united can undoubt edly carry their man. It is much to be hoped that the mis take of the last election will not be repeated. In an address issued last evening, Kr. Fawcett say s that he will give an independent support to Lord Palmerston. " Some minor measures of his administration (he adds) I may object to, but I hope he may continue in power u long a: his health is preserved, homage I believe that no other prime minister could more effectually main. tain the honour and secure the welfare of Ragland in a dif ficult crisis of foreign politics. I should, moreover, be in duced to support the present administration, because T believe the beat interests of England would rafter if Fir! Russell were displaced at the Foreign-office." Mr. Faw cett prooeeds to say that he will support the economical administration of the public Spawn, that he will cordially support any plan that will lead to a set tlement of the church•rate dispute, being of opinion that the continuance of church rates perpetuates discord, which is detrimental to the cause of religion. "If, however," con tinues Mr. Fawcett, " compromise is impossible, I should unhesitatingly vote for their abolition." Mr. Fawcett argue* further, that the patience and fortitude shown by the Lancashire operatives justifies an extension of the suf frage, and says that he should be in favour of the removal of all restrictions that at present prelude the admission of dissenter, at =Hague.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at one o'clock, at the Bridge House Hotel, Leaden. bridge ; Mr. Leo Sa i wn= n the chair. The report, having be published several days pro vioaaly t was taken as read. The Cruinium moved the adoption of the report and amounts. He commenced by referring to the capital amminte, °Mervin; that • considerable addition was made during the half-year to the perpetual debenture stock, and that it now amounted to 1,025,000/. He hoped that ere long the whole of the mortgage debt would cone= of pm- I petual debenture stock. The revenue amount was highly satisfactory. The increase in the put year was 77,0001., and if the dividend were not augmented, it must be remembered that interest and dividend had to be paid os the additional capital raised for extensions. During the pan year they mined 13.600,04)) passengers without causing the death of a single passenger. (Chun.) Of these there were, inclusive of volunteers, only 408,000 ordinary passengers to and from Brighton, and the total number, including excursionists, was 693,000. Out of 1,254,0001., the total revenue of the year, only 22 0 ,000/. was derived from Brighton paseengen. He mentioned these facts to show that there was no danger from the projected line to Brighton by way of Beckenham. (Hear.) There had recently been an outlay of between 30,0001. and 40,0001. under the head of exceptional expen diture, and all laiMdes of that kind were now completely The greater part of the main lines had been re a n cha ew r a e ot improved princies ; 136,000/. had been paid already for that pupas, and a sum had been set apart out of the revenue of the put lyear to complete the work. As regarded the successive reductions in the fares, he °burred that they had now maintained a dividend of 6 . per cent. for seven rms. The board was of opinion that the company should keep to that dividend, and not seek to increase it, letting the public have the benefit of anysurplus income whenever they could do so. They shoat, he thought, decrease the fares and inmates th eanensiation of the public. In no instance, he observed, had • redeetion of fares Woad in • diminution of recap= After tracing the various reductioes down to the meant period, he said that the board in what they now ceatemplated were pursuing a principle which had been acted moon for years. They proposed to make considerable reductions on the whole of the company's system of linea, and they believed there would be no loss of revenue. They proposed - from thei let Feb. to reduce the Vic toria station uprise fares to Brighton from 13s.ed to IU. and the hod-clue expire fares from lls. to 9s. 6d.; the Ist class cedieary fares from lie. to 9". 6d., end the 2nd chew ordinary fans from Bs. 6d. to 75. The third clam farm were already as low as any reasonable man could expect them to be, namely, U. 2d. At London Bridge there would be corresponding reductions. He then entered into • minute detailed statement of the intended ryas dons in the Brighton season tickets, from which it appeared that the charge under the new winner meets for conveying the first-class mummers by express ' trains will in future be only la . lid. each way, or Is. 10d. for and returning ; the other fares being subject to similar reductions. He afterwards expressed his conviction that within five years the result of all these diminutions would resemble that which had been witnessed in the case of the penny postage. It was intended to separate the Landon-bridge trains from the Victories Station trains to and from Brighton ; and the effect of this would be to save ten minute" to the former trains He than referred to the opposition line to Brighton, now before the public. The distance was in favour of their own line, the proportion being about 60 miles to 57 ; the tunnelling of the projected line was 00,000 odd yards, 1 their own tunneling 5,000 odd yards; and the' gradients were also in their own favour. The makind of unnecessary) lines, had ceased the greatest mischief. Railway ppte hadreached =eh • date in eon semisoft of oom lion that now it would net be possible to raise 1001. in the ordinary way for the construction of a line. Money could only be got by means of ruinous ma= with °outrun= preference shares, he., &Tit an = resultbrasthatoothlieg was left for the ordientynharelsoiders. This precious opposition line was to cost 4,000,0001., to com pete for • traffic which, as he had shown, amounted to only 2200001. • year. With all the efforts they could make, their rivals could not get more than a frank of =sprawled traffic • and alter paying working expose= there would be only BSyoool. • year as interest on • capital of 4,000,0001. (Hear, .) He had really no apprehend= that =eh s scheme would be tolerated in =dame= Mr. Baia thought that with an increase of 70,0001. in the revenue of the put year, great ingenuity had bees exercised by the directors in keeping down the dividend to the established one of 8 per cent. The chairman bad nos stated whether the intended =lndio= of fares extended to the ooast lines. 1i106117;11 1 / 1 1AN observed that such wu the case ; the reduction would extend pro refs over the whole system. (Hear, ism.) Mr. Bur. was glad to hear the; u otherwise it might have beet urged in psalmist that the change was in tended amply to meet the opposition scheme. (Hear, boar.) He maimed that Hoe Loudon, Chatham, and Dover tom y, whe were overflowing with wealth and laughter)—were at the bottom al that edema. [The meeting wu proceeding when our report left.)

LYtirax Itenceram.—The New York Times. of the 12th, says :—" On Saturday afternoon Lyman Beecher, at the advanced age of 87 years, died at his residence in Brooklyn. The currents of the last few yearn have swept from the sight of the present generation this venerable minister of God, who for years battled in the name of his Master for the cause of truth and justice ; but the announcement of his death will revive in the hearts of thousands lively gratitude for his extended wear of awhile/ea, and in the memories of many, ccenrreuces long sines forgotten, but which nevertheless, are indissolubly connected with their dearest interests for time and eternity. Of Dr. Beecher's thirteen children not a few have attained to eminence as writers and ministers. Mies Catherine Beecher. Dr. Edward Beecher, Mrs. Her- riet Beecher Stowe, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Revs. °67e 4 Charles, Thom.', William, and James Beer are all known in certain spheres of public usefulness, sad each in his specialty her done service in his day and generation. Of his son Henry, Dr. Beecher was peculiarly fond and proud, and during the last ten years of his life has been more or less with him. About five years winos he balsam a permanent resident of Brooklyn. living within a stone', throw of his son's house and church. At the Later place he was for some time an honoured landmark of a former emigration, and an object of universal esteem and affection. Latterly, however, during the past three ; yews, his body, originally so erect and sinewy, has rapidly failed, and his mind has dimmed gradually in its case, sofa at length he became literally a child." MONEY MAREBT.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLocii. The stook markets today are dull. Consols are quoted for the account it per cent, lower than they closed yesterday, while the price for money is unaltered. In the share and foreign stock markets the settlement chiefly occupies attention. Great Western and South Butern stocks exhibit renewed depression. Foreign securities are in demand and firm. At the weekly court at the Bank of England today, yesterday's rise in the rate of discount to b per cent. has been confirmed, but no further action has been taken. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's; telegram, the Three per Cent. Rennie opened at 69fr. 70c., being sc. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 924 to 4, both for money and the account (Feb. 5). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Con sols, for money, 924, ; ditto for account, 924 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 924, ; New Three per Cents., 924, t ; Bank Stock, 237, 235 ; India Five per Cent.

"enlaced" rupee paper, 1061 ; and Exchequer Bills, par, 3a. die., 1 prem. A considerable rise has taken place in Greek Bonds and Coupons, particularly the former, which are last marked 17f. Spanish se curities of all kinds are better, and the demand extends to Egyptian, Russian, Mexican, Turkish Bonds of 1862, and the Consolidee. Some of the present quotations are annexed. Turkish ' 1864 Loan, 854 to 864 ; ditto, 1858, 704 to 71 ; ditto, 1862, 664 to 67 ; the Consolidia, 401 to 4 ; Venezuelan Six per Cents., 601 to 611 ; Portuguese scrip, 21 to 3 prem. ; and the Peruvian Loan, 854 to 864, being still heavy.

The shares off the BankofjOreat Britain are quoted If to 21. prem. Foos o'expoa. Console remain quoted 92} to i both for money and the account. The impression that the Bank of England rate of discount would be raised this week having been confirmed by Tuesday's withdrawal of 170,000 sovereigns for account of the Portuguese Loan, there was considerable pressure at the Discount office yesterday, heavy applications being lodged by eminent financial houses desirous of borrowing at 4 per oent., in anticipation of the Bank moving to-day (Thursday) to 5. The Bank djrectors, however, have apparently come to the de termination that they will not permit themselves to be thus pressed upon on the day preceding that on which au advance in the minimum is usually made. No bills were discounted until the " Committee of Trea sury," which sat yesterday morning, had finished its deliberations, and it was then announced that the minimum rate was raised to 5 per cent. The alteration, though fully anticipated for to day, being quite unexpected yesterday, excited some sensation, but not the slightest disquietude. Although the action now taken on an unusual day is of a sharper character than the commercial public have been accustomed to, it is quite recog nised that the Bank, instead of waiting for the Thursday, have a perfect right to get, if they can, a better price on the Wednesday from the customers who wish to forestall them in the use of their min money. The only mischief that could arise would consist in an impression getting abroad that the sudden alteration denotes uneasiness on the part of the directors at some symptoms which do not meet the eye of the general public. There might, perhaps, be the more chance of such a miscon ception just now, because, while the steady upward movement lately witnessed in the Bank's terms has evidently been prompted mainly by their desire to check the foreign drain of gold, no such motive can have operated with especial force yesterday, the gold withdrawals having been suspended. So far as the protection of their gold is concerned, the Bank might just as well have waited until the regular court day, and their prompt decision must, conse quently, be attributed to their wish, as bankers, to levy an additional one per cent on the heavy amount of business carried to them yesterday. There never has been a time when a rise in the value of money has been regarded with greater calmness. Not the slightest agitation has been occasioned, it being perceived that the present measure can do no harm to legitimate in terests, while it will have the salutary effect of deterring, or at least delaying, several large foreign schemes which were understood to be approaching. A fresh impulse will at the same time be given to the upward move ment which has set in during the last few days in the foreign exchanges, and to which no check would appear to be likely, unless in the event of the Bank of France deciding upon an analogous measure to that adopted here yesterday. All en gagements to which we stand absolutelyleommitted, whether in the shape of foreign loans or otherwise, we must of course meet, and, if need be, by means of continued remittances of gold , drawn from the Bank of England ; but the gain involved in the present state of the money market consists in the signal of caution twhich it boirta for ' the guidance of the entire community, especially of those engaged in foreign ventures. Even, there- fore, should the event prove that the Bank have : put their rate up higher than is required by the general state of matters at home, where trade is slack and speculation confined within moderate limits, there will be no disposition to criticise them too hardly. The coming weekly return is looked for with much interest. The rate of discount in the general market has, at the moment, naturally followed the lead of the Bank of England. The terms for good bills yes terday afternoon were 4f to 5 per cent. In consequence of the alteration at the Bank, the joint-stock banks have raised the rate allowed for deposits from 3to 4 per cent. The terms of the Loudon and Westminster Bank, however, are only 3 per cent. for sums below 6001. The discount establishments will henceforward give 4 per cent. (instead of 3) "at call," and 4f instead of 31 " at notice." The Asia, from New York, has brought 85,000/. in specie. The American adrices report a fresh leap in the quotations for gold and exchange ; the former having reached 48 percent. prem. and the latter 163. These movements, as well as the upward tendency at the same time reported in American securities, are of course occasioned by the increasing flood of paper, the House of Representatives having passed a bill for the issue of 100,000,000 dole. in legal tender notes. The London and North Western Railway traffic I return shows this week an increase of 4,9941. ; and I the Great Eastern an increase of 1,3061. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 9th January I were 13,136/. sterling, being 3701. more than in the corresponding week of last year. The letters of regret were sent out by the direc tors of the British and American. Exchange Bank (Limited) yesterday, and, as might have been an ! ticipated from the magnitude of the subscriptions, were numerous both in the Stock Exchange and elsewhere. - Itiiinotified that the further instalment of 4/. (making 61. per share paid) must be paid on the shares in the Italian Irrigation Canal Company by the 16th Feb., under penalty of being charged 6 per cent. interest. A call of 11. is to be paid by the 28th Feb., on the shares in the Bombay Gas Company. The annual meeting of the Linde Improvement Company is called for the 10th February, when a half-yearly dividend will be recommended. Creditors of the Waterloo Life Assurance Com pany are required by the 9th February to lodge the particulars of their claims with the official liquidator, the 2nd of March having been appointed by the Master of the Rolls for hearing them. WZDMIODAT &anis. Notwithstanding the unexpected nature of the Bank movement, the funds have shown more stea diness, and have closed at a recovery off per cent. Most of the other markets have given way, includ ing American, Continental, and other foreign rail ways, and English and Indian lines. The . premiums on the shares of some of the new projects were likewise lees firm this afternoon. It was remarked, however, that although foreign bonds have for some time past met with chief attention from speculators, and usually respond quickly to any tightening of the mouey market, this department was to-day the steadiest of any. Preparations for Friday's settlements were in progress. Consols, which closed yesterday at 92} to 1. for the sth February, were first marked this morning 921 and 92g. Just prior to the announcement of the change at the Bank the price was 92} to 5-16, and this was likewise the closuig quotation, although a temporary reduction to 92j to immediately i followed that announcement. For money the last . . price Was 92it to 1, and for the March settlement 94 to 4. The " continuation " to March has in creased to to per cent., in consideration of the higher value of money. The official business report is as follows :—Tbree per Cent. Consols for money, 921, ; ditto, for account, Crum"' 5 ), 91 ; Three per Cents. seed, 924, 4, • New Three per Cents., 9,4, ; Bsik t:ick, 237, 235 • India Stock, 230, ; ditto Five per Cent. Btock, 106 1, ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1001, I ; ditto Bonds, 155., 16a, 19s. prem. • The India Five per Cent. Stock has again declined per cent., closing at 1081 to . India Bonds were dull at las. to 19e. prem. The rise in the value of money has caused a fresh fall of 2-4. to 3s. in. Exchequer Bills, which closed at 2s. dia. to 2s. prem. Business in the foreign stock market was lees active than of late, a check having been given by the movement in the money market. The it of the settlement shows an increased simply of London and North Western Railway stock, the " continuation " on which has therefore risen to to per cent. For the first time for some months there was a "continuation" of to on Lancashire and Yorkshire stock. Great Western was carried over "even," and the terms on most other English railway stocks were moderate. The inquiries for colonial government debentures have slackened. New Brunswick, New South Wales, and Victoria were more offered. A fresh fall of 2 per cent. has taken place in United States Five per Cents. Virginia Bonds and most other American securities have likewise given wa t y ) . oean Marine shares closed to-day at 6 to 61 Fem. ; Thames and Mersey, 21 to * prem.; Universal, 11 to 0* die. ; North British and Mer cantile, 164 to 17 ; Commercial Union, dia. to par ex div. ; and London and Provincial Marine, dis. to par.

MINES.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLocw. The mining market is Hat to-day, and the general tendency of prices downwards. North Roekear shares :Ave declined about 31., being quoted 53i to 541. East Wheal Russell are also Satter at 51 to .1, and Wheal Harriett at 'sa to a. East Olndon and Wheal Seton are steady, being quoted respectively 481 to 49, and 235 to 240.

The committee of management of the Tywarn haile Mine have given notice that Saturday, the 31st inst., is the last day for sending in applies 'Hoes for shares from London, and Monday next, the 2nd of February, from the country. A meeting for the proof of debts against the Moseley Green Coal and Coke Company (Limited) is to be held in the Bankruptcy Court, on the 6th February. We have received a copy of the prospectus of the South Parys Copper Mining Company (Limited). The object is to work a portion of the Great Parys Mountain, in the Island 'of Anglesey, situated south of the rich, and lucrative Parys and Mona Copper Mines. A lease is to be acquired of • tract of 116 acres, fora consi deration of 5,5001., of which 2,5001. is to be paid in cash, and 3,0001. in paid-up shares. Before bringing the undertaking before the public, the directors have caused several trial pits to be sunk at the base of the mountain, whence copper ore has been taken, and its value proved by analysis. The directors further state that they " invite the strictest inquiry as to the property," especially considering the small sum they have to pay for it. They lay strew also upon the selection for mining captain of Mr. C. B. Dyer, who was for many years manager of the Great Parr Mine, ad joining. The capital is 20,0001., in 10,000 shares of 21. each, but only It per share is expected to be called up. It is mentioned that a considerable portion of the capital has been subscribed by gen tlemen in the locality. . .
