Business was more active to-day in the market for home mining stocks, which generally closed with a firm appearance. There are numerous inquiries for the shares of English mines in which gold has been discovered. The sales reported are :—South Tolgua, at 1474 ; Wheal Trelawney, 41; Alfred Consols, 253; Wheal Arthur, 30, 321; Tincroft, 53, 6; Drake walls, 21, ; Hope Valley, 43, 5; Cubert, 'l, 1; St. Aubyn and Grylls, 53, 6; Rorrington, ; Trehane, 12; Nest Wheal, 23, 3; Treleigh, 21, ; North Downs, 4,5; Wheal Edward, 24, 3 ; Wheal Ire mayne, 93; Cwm Darren, 145.; QuintrAl Downs, , ; West Wheal Jane, 21, ; Kenneggy, 11 ; Kea Tremayne, 11, 3 ; Devon Kapunda, 1; ; \ Vest Abery frwd, 6s. 6d. ; Devon United, 23; Garreg, 1, 1. The gold mining share market remains perfectly stationary, and almost devoid of business.

The chair was taken by the Right Itinoursble the Lout° MATOU, With whom were Sir James Duke, Bert., Mr. Marshall, of the Bank of England, and several other iafiumnial persons connected with the City of London. Mr. FINLAY, IS moving the fint resolution, thanked the Lord Mayer for his promptitude in attending the meeting, and stated that he hail received a letter from Baron Roths child, expressing his regent at his inability to attend. The meeting had been removed from Bow to that place, under the advice of the rector, who said that the vestry room there was not tugs enough, bet else wished to pledge the pariah officers that no reporters whatever should be admitted. He (Mr. Finlay) felt that he could not comply with such • de mand, sad had, therefore, with the consent of the Lord Mayor, arranged that open meeting. Mr. Finlay then pro ceeded, rather indistinctly, to comment upon the manage meet of the school, and to complain of the discrepancy of the rate per child charged to each parish. He found that while the West London children were charged 6s. 3el. a bead, the East London 41. 3d., and St. Saviour's 48.6 d., the City of London was paying 61. 3d. The speaker further complained of the managers of the school, who, having professed to take a quantity of land for the purpose of teaching the children agriculture, had used the land as pasture and fed their own cows and pigs upon it. With reference to the removal of the school, he had informed the deputy chairman of the managers that the guardians and parochial officers were about taking steps to p t it, when that gentleman promised that nothing farther should be done until the result of those proceedings was known. Subsequently he (Mr. Finlay) had been very much sur prised to find that the managers were to meet that day to receive tenders for the sale of the property at Norwood, and for the purchase of land elsewhere —this, too, after the deputy chairmen had pledged himself that nothing should be dose until the 30th of January. The expense of re moval would, with in , be 80,0001 , making a shilling rate throughout London for twenty years, independent of the heavy expenditure at Bow. The estimate for that building had been 28,0001., while the actual expense was 70,0001. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Finlay concluded by moving a resolution, complaining of the inequality of the pour law taxation of the City of London, and deprecating any in erease of the City burthens by the removal of the schools from Norwood. Mr. WHeresion entered into a general defence of the managers. and quoted the report of the Poor-law Commis sioaen in favour of the management of the school. Ile sated that the circumstances which had occurred in the es tablishment during the last two months had rendered as increase of sleeping accommodation imperative. It was known that cholera had broken out in the school, and that there had been some fatal cases ; but the doctor believed that it bad been brought in by (cur children that had been recently 'drained. However that might be, the commis shiners from the Board of Health had decided that they wanted accommodation for 300 mere children. They had temporarily secured the church, but hail come to the reso- lution to build the required accommodation, staying further proceedines till these vexed questions had been settled. He emphatically denied having given any pledge, except that of keeping the guardians advised of the managers pro ceedings from week to week. There was no committee re ceiving tendert. ; it was merely a committee appointed to take into consideration the question of a more suitable site. With respect to the had, they had 43 acres, of which 7 were cultivated by the children. Sir Janes Dine asked what was the cost of the land ? Mr. WHITESIDE said, that three and three quarters acrd were freehold, and for the rest they had a lease for 14 years at 41. en acre. After some further discussion on the nature of the pledge given, the weight of the testimony being in favour of the affirmation, Mr. Witti Josthe complained of the wording of the resolution, as Rang far beyond the question at issue. He thought it very ingeniously devised to obtain the sanction of the meeting to a principle which he believed the majority of them disapproved of. Some rather irregular discussion then arose, which was terminated by Mr. Jones preparing an amendment, leaving out the enunciation of a general principle, and deterring further proceedings until the intentions of government with respect to the law of settlement bad been ascertained. The Rev. Mr. DlAlle said that the commixioners would throw the whole responsibility on the man igers if cholera again broke out in the schools. He believed that if such an event took place, the managers would be all attachable by law. Mr. llama suggested that the superabundant children thoold be farmed out for twelve months, by which time par:lament would, no doubt, have come to some decision on the question. Mr. Penman approved of Mr. Berry's suggestion, and complainedthat the royal parish of St Martin's in-the- Fields paid only de. 4d. a week fur their child ri o, while the tat) of London paid nearly double that amount. In his "Was they should bare a school of their owe, as the care Thu trial of John Charles Tapner, a clerk in the Ordisanco-offlos, for the murder of Mrs. Banjoes, and for the sabsegeout attempt to barn the body, by setting fire to the house, came en before the Royal Court at Guernsey on the 20th inst. The proceedings have already lasted seven days and are not yet concluded. Tapner, who was dressed in a new suit of black, with white cravat, and exhibited complete self-possession, pleaded not guilty. The Queen's Procureur, in • long and able speech, de alt's!' the facts of the ease. Xis Mary De Jersey, of Piettisroad, said she knew the deceased, and frequently went to her house. She was there on the evening of Oct. 18, between 5 and 6 o'clock. Mrs. Beujon was then in very good health. While at supper in y o the kitchen, Mrs. Saujon thought she heard the street door se *pen, and rose to see whether any person weather., but 8211 so one. Witness left soon after 9 o'clock. Mrs. Saujon unlocked the door to let her out. When she came out 'he IS saw a man close to the wall, opposite to her house, walking slowly towards Paris-infest. He was close enough to hear B t . Mrs. &akin say "Good night." Witness passed him be- 53 lore getting to the opening of Paris-street. He wore • St. glazed hat and • round pea jacket. tit. The prisoner was desired to put on the bat and jacket. st.° Witness declared that he was as like as like could be. She Identified some articles—a thimble, spectacles, and time piece—es belonging to Mrs. Saujon. Mr. Joshua P. Ahier said he was passing Mrs. Seinen', how on Wedaesday, a little a ft er one in the afternoon, sad was desired by Mr. Barbet to accompany him to the house. A ladder was brought, and they entered by the window. There was much smoke coming out of the par lour, and a very strong and suffocating smell. On looking into the bed-room he saw part of the naked thigh of the deceased lying :urges the glees door. He went into the sleeping-room, where be saw a body lying, which he recog nised as being that of Mrs. Saujon. It was lying on the right side, and one thigh was crossed over the other. The head was partly under the bed, and the body was stretched out. The bud was on the floor. The two hands were clenched over the breast, and burnt black. Ihe legs were straight, as if laid out by some person. The body was un covered from the legs downwards, excepting the legs, which bad the stockings on. It appeared as though, while the person had been burning, she had tried to draw up her clothes. The deal table in court was standing over her legs, and the drawer, which had been taken out, was lying on them. The skirting board was burning in several places. The contents of the drawers were all in confusion. Mr. Berthaut Allez, law agent, proved paying Mrs. Saujon 501. in U. Guernsey notes. Mr. James Barbet, high constable, corroborated the evi dence of Mr. Abler. John Gonbey, assistant constable, was also called to go to the house of Mrs. Saujon, and he described the scene of confusion which presented itself. In the drawers were found four copies of the Illustrated London News and a piece of rag, all impregnated with turpentine. The drawers appeared to have been opened with violence. He subsequently went with constable Williams to the prisoner's house in Fort-road, and took pommies °fume sticks end • monkey jacket. In one of the pockets of the jacket they found particles of resin ; in a lumber room rp stairs • bottle of turpentine. On the 22nd of October they serwohad • stoves attack, ahead 400 yards from the prisoner's house, where they found 11 teaspoons, three sable spoon', • pair of sugar-toogs, a salt-spoon, mustard-spoon, a silver pencil-cue, • pair of silver mounted spectacles, a silver cream jug, sad a small bag containing, among other things, a wedding-ring and a bunch of keys fitting the chest of drawers, liquor case, &e., of Mrs. Swaim. The silver bore the initials of Mrs. Eels jou. While they were there a timepiece was brought from • wood-stack. Oa the 23rd they went again to the house of the prisoner, and brought away • deck lantern and a pair of pilot cloth trouser', from which • grey hair was taken. Afterwards they found a brace of pistols loaded with ball and capped. He had often seen the prisoner with a monkey jacket and a gbizei bat similar to that before the court. Mr. Philip Beal, surgeon, was of opinion that the wounds on deceased's head had been inflicted by • stick, or some other blunt instrument. There were extensive burns about the body. The skin of the tongue was soft, and could be scraped off. The liver and intestines were completely cooked, and when examined, the heat mast have been up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The flesh of the left tore-arm and hand were completely consumed. Ile believed the woman was not dead when she received the burns. A bottle was handed to him containing turpentine. It had a label for Godfrey's Cordial. James Paint, assistant to Mr. Beresford, druggist, proved selling a quantity of Godfrey's Cordial to Mrs. Tapner, and the label was in his handwriting. Several witnesses were then called to prove the receipt of different sums from the prisoner, payment being made in U. Guernsey notes, correspoafiing with those stolen from Mrs. Saujon. Bleary Martell, a shipwright, said he was standing at his mother's house door on the night of the 18th of October, between 8 and 9 o'clock, and saw Tapner pass along to wards Wall-road. lie wore • glazed hat, a monkey jacket, and pilot cloth trousers, and had a stick in his hand. Some other evidence of this description was also given. Louisa Westendy, aged 13, sail she was in the service of the prisoner. On the night of Wednesday, the 18th, Tapner cams home at about 8 o'clock. When he came, he looked for something, and his wife asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted his little dark linters. The bottom was movable, and was used about the house as a candlestick. lie fetched it from the bedroom, and put the bottom into the lantern, and having lighted the candle wont out at the back-door. He returned in about three quarter' of an hour. She went to bed soon after, when die heard a rummaging noise over bead in a closet which Taperer always kept locked. She went to sleep, and some time after Tapner came into the room without a light, and asked for her candle. She told him it was on the chair, which he took, and went out. A long time after that she was awakened by a great noise, as if boxes were moved or being opened in the closet. She heard many strange voices. Next morning a lot of gentlemen, among whom was Constable Barbet, came to the house. She had seen the sticks that were before the Court. One of them with an iron crook Tapner nearly always used. This witness was severely cross-examined, but her evi dence was um/hakes. Mr. Charles Parker, a gardener, proved comparing the bouts of the prisoner with foot marks in the field leadieg to the stacks where the plat* was discovered, and they iszactly corresponded. William Jesse, assistant constable, said that shortly be fore 11 o'clock on the 18th of October he was with another ocestable watching on the Fort-road, and when about 30 garde from the prisoner's house they saw • man going across afield. They followed him, and on coming up to him they a head it was the prisoner. Witness said it was extraordi nary for a man to be there at that time of night, and he said he had come out to smoke his pipe, and that he did not think there was anything extraordinary in it. lie had no pipe or cigar. lie asked why he bid himself, and he replied " I heard somebody knocking about the road, and I did not wish to be seen." Tapner had a pea jacket and an alpaca bat that packed up. The witness then at consi derable length, detailed _his visit to the house of the prisoner, and afterwards went to the field in which the clover and other stacks were, where they found the stolen articles enumerated by other witnesses. At Tapser's house they found a pair of old boots. They took them to the field, and tried them with the footmarks. They cor responded exactly. Mr. James Barbet proved a conversation that took place between him and Tapner, when he admitted that he bad taken lodgings fora young female at Mrs. Saujon's, giVIZI his name as that of Mr. Sooner. When Tapner was taken to the Doussine-room in the evening, he said, " I under stand that the old woman has been burnt," or words to t h at effect. Oa being asked how he knew that he replied, that be bad heard a conversation about it in a room below, and a ass who spoke very loud complained that he had been eseseed of it. lie told him that be understood he had a metal-headed stick, which they had not seen, and he ad mitted that he had such • stick, but had broken the head two or three days ago by striking it against • gate. John Gillingham was called to unscrew the barrel of one of the pistois, and examine the charge. The charge con tained the ordinary quantity of powder for such a pistol, which must have been damp when it was loaded. If it bad been damp, it would probably have been loaded about dale months. There was • difference between the charges of the two pistols, one being quite fresh. The caps must have been on from ten to twelve months, unless they had previously been in a damp place, or the nipples of the pistols were damp when the caps were put on. This closed the case for the prosecut ion, and the court soon after adjourned. On the resumption of the case, Mr. Falls will address the court fur the prisoner. tai=d4 to flteek t t.

The English stock market exhibited a decided increase of firmness this morning, but the upward tendency was checked by further large sales of money stock, and at the close of business prices were only r , per cent. better than they closed yesterday, the market wearing at the same time a weaker appear ance. A bona fide sale of 250,0001. Console was effected by a leading broker, and it is further esti mated that an aggregate amount of about 300,000/. Three-and.a-Quarter per Cent. and Reduced Three per Cent. stock was also sold by several other parties o f standing. In consequence of these sales, added to those previously made (and to which we have drawn attention during the last few days), money was in increased demand in the Stock Ex change at 45 per cent., on deposit of go ! vernment securities ; and it is further under stood that some large sums of money have been taken from the Bank of England at this rate. The firmness of the market in face of these large sales is remark able, and was considered to be chiefly due to the publication of the subjoined notice from the South Sea Company, which was posted up in the Stock Exchange:— South Sea House, Dec. 29, 18.53. The Directors of the South Sea Company give notice, that dim will make advances on and after the 6th of January nuit, on the security of South Sea Stock, at the rate of 100 pr cent., to such proprietors as may give three days' notice to the cashier of the Company. The terms upon which such advances will be made may be ascertained at the South Sea UMW. C. F. GIBBON, Sec. In explanation of this notification it m ill be re- called to mind that the South Sea Company's corpo rate stock cannot be divided amongst the holders until the division shall have been authorised by a special act of parliament—an authorisation which was not obtained last session, owing to the bill in troduced for that purpose having included a provi sion for constituting the South Sea Company into a trust company. Pending these parliamentary ar rangements the holders of this 3,662,000/. of stock are to be allowed the option of receiving an advance of 1001. per 1001. stock, this 1001. stock being worth in the market 1121. or thereabouts. In the appre hension that a portion of this money may come at once into the market for investment there has been a general desire on the part of parties who stand in the position of speculative sellers of stock, to buy back with a view to cover themselves from loss. It remains to be seen how far this view will be realised. Another circumstance that led to purchases, especially by previous speculative sellers, was the intelligence that a note had appeared in the Paris Moniteur to the effect that the Turkish govern ment is in perfect accord with the representatives of l the Four Powers as to the terms on which negotia tions for peace are to be resumed with Russia. Ambi guously worded as this is, it yet induced purchases, owing to the idea that it would have a favourable effect on the Paris bourse, a rise in which market would naturally react here. Subsequent to the close of business, however, it transpired that the Paris hoarse, instead of advancing, had closed at a decline of Ito per cent. from the closing rates of yes terday. Consols were first quoted and also closed at 93 to ex. div. for the 18th January, and touched at one period of the day 94 "buyers." The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for the opening, 18th January, 93, 94, 931, ex div. Three per Cent. Reduced, 94(, 94. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 957„ 3, -1, 5, ; Bank Stock, 2171. Exchequer Bills were again quoted Is. higher to-day, closing at ss. to 85. prem. In the foreign stock market business was very doll, and, with the exception of an improvement in Dutch. prices exhibited no quotable variation. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 231 to 241. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 68 to 70; Sardinian, 90 to 92. Spanish Deferred, 211 to 22. Russian Five per Cents., 111 to 113 ; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cents., 97 to 99. Granada Active, 21 to 22 ; ditto De ferred, 71 to 8. Sales are re corded as follows :—Danish Three per Cent. Bonds, 1825, 84 ; ditto Five per Cents., 1021. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 645; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 961, 97, 961. Mexican Three per Cents., 241, 24, 1. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 971. 98. Sardinian Five per Cents., 90. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 461, ; ditto, New Deferred Three per Cents., 22. A rumour prevailed in the afternoon that the Bank of England had signified its willingness to ply off at once, without charging discount, the uncommuted petty stocks, the payment of which falls due on the 6th of January, but the report was devoid of founda tion. Money was in increased demand to-day for com mercial purposes, but this is not unusual at the close of the year, and just prior to the payment of the dividends. The rates of discount exhibit no change worthy of notice. The amount of gold brought in by the Mayflower, from Adelaide, is 5,352 ounces, valued at about 21,4001. This afternoon the rates of exchange on Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Trieste showed no change. Bills on Hamburg were rather more offered than on Tuesday, owing to the higher quotation received from that city. At the close bills remained over at 13.41, after transactions had been entered into as high as 13.45 to 13.5. Business was generally limited. The East India Company issued notice to-day that the rate of exchange at which they will receive cash for bills on Bengal and Madras will, until further notice, be 2s. 01d. the company's rupee, and for bills on Bombay, 2s. Old. These rates are Id. lower than those previously current. The mail of the 4th of February next will be de spatched to Australia by the General Screw Steam Shipping . Company's steamer Bosphorus, this com pany having obtained the contract for its conveyance. The Bosphorus will mil from Southampton, and will touch at Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. The London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway is to be opened for traffic, between London and Gravesend, early in the month of February. Notice is given that application has been mad, for a charter for a company to be called the " Central America Steam Navigation Company." The half-yearly dividend on the capital stock of the Alfred Life Assurance Company is advertised as papable on the 10th January. Land shares to-day were dull, at the late reduced quotations. Bank shares were also unmarked by any movement. Crystal Palace shares again declined, on renewed sales, coupled with a report that this com pany will require additional capital ; the closing price was 1 7-16 to 1 9-16 prem. The shares of the Aus tralian Royal Mail Steam Company have been dealt in at 2t to 21 (81. paid). The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Saturday, the 21th Dec., when compared with the previous return, shows the following results: Circulation issue Circulation active 20,810.16.5 Increase 204,530 Public deposits 11,157.724 Increase 665,038 Other deposits Government securities in banking department Other securities in banking department Coin and bullion in both departments Seven day and ether bills 1,179,166 Decrease 4.7/0 The Rest The Reserve (viz., notes and coin in banking department) The subjoined exhibits the extent of the week's variations at one view : Public deposits Other deposits decrease.. Notes and bills in circulation increue.. 199,780 Rest increase.. 9,365 On the other side of the account Government securities, no change Other securities Coin and billion increase.. Total v. 74,153 £574,183 These variations are not calculated to excite THIS DAY.—Tw•o o'CLocw. The gold mining shares remain quiet, and the tone of the market is rather flat. Ague Fria shares are quoted to prem.; Nouveau Monde, 3-16 to 516 prem.; Great Nugget, dis. to ,1 prem. ; and Colonial Gold, 4to prem. Australian Agricultural shares have declined to 41 to 43. Peel River are quoted par to t prem. ; and Scottish Australian Investment, 11 to 1 prem. St. John del Rev shares have been dealt in at 3:i ex div.; and United Mexican at 4 I. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
