They were both unfortunate females, and bad been qurrelling all the evening, and at last the prisoner fol ioed the other, and attacked her like a tigress.

Mr. Sabbage, the chief constable, deposed that he never imbued any ordais at the diners Police-station on the evening of the 16th January, 1863, with regard to the liberation of a man named Murphy there charged with being drank. Mr. Joel desired the beech to deal with the case summarily, this being the whole of the evidence. The magistrates declined to do so, remerlaiug that the charge was a very serious one, particularly when the prisoner's position of trust was regarded. The solicitor then rejoined that it was difficult to offer any defence ; and the Mayor (Mr. Dodds) who presided, committed Donaldson to the arises for trial. GREAT FIRE AT HULL. HULL, THURSDAY NIGHT.

American securities are steady, at the closing prices of yesterday. 5-20 bonds are now quoted 671 to ; Erie Railway shares 521 to 53/ ; and Illinois Central, 744 to 75. International Financial shares are now quoted to prem., ex div. ; General Credit, 14 to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 34 to 3 die., ex div.; Imperial Mercantile, t to 1 prem., ex div. ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier, 21 to 3/ prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 44 to / prem. ; and Joint Stock Discount, 5/ to 5 dia. Speculative attention was again prominently directed yesterday to the shares of the financial com panies, which experienced a further general fall, owing to the persistent circulation of a rumour, which remains quite without confirmation, of the failure of another railway contractor. Tne shares _ of the Loadon Financial Association were again much pressed for sale, and the fall in them amounted to no less than 11 per share. At the moment the whole of this class of property i s greatly out of favour. The City of New York, from New York, has brought 60,0001. in specie, and the Hansa, from the same port, 2,4001. for England. The steamer Douro, for Brazil, will take to day only 8001. in gold and 8,4001. in silver. This diminutioa in the remittances of specie to one of the new cotton fields is a favourable point for our money market. The Crown Agents for the Colonies invite tenders, to be opened at 1 p.m. on the 16th inst., for zd 20,0001. of Cape of Good Hope Government 6 per cent. Debentures, redeemable in the year 1900. The proceeds are to be applied to the improvement of the Kowie harbour. The half-yearly dividend just announced on Lon don and North Western Railway stock, at the rate of 74 per cent. per annum, is slightly above that for the corresponding period of 1864, the distribu tion being then 7 per cent. per annum. The stock, however, declined / per cent. yesterday, but chiefly in sympathy with the flatness of other lines. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week au increase of 5,1131. over last year • the North Eastern, an increase of 7,4931 . ; the Ma nchester, She ffi eld, and Lincolnabire, an increase of 3,2801. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 1,3351. ; the Metropolitan Extension, an increase of 5851. ; and the Kent Coast, an increase of 2401. The sixth ordinary meeting of the Universal Marine Insurance Company was held yesterday, when the directors' report, which has already been published, was adopted. At the annual meeting of the Berlin Waterworks Company, held yesterday, the directors' report was adopted. The general revenue account shows a balance of 16,4411. for disposal, out of which a dividend of 6s. 6d. per share, free of income tax, was declared, leaving 1,1661. to be carried forward. A meeting of the Loudon and Lisbon Corkwood Company (Limited) took place yesterday, but no dividend was declared, owing to the fire which bad id taken place in one of the company's forests iu Algeria. The prospects of the undertaking were de scribed as satisfactory. The half-yearly meeting of the Great Northern ion Railway Company will be held on the 24th inst. ; • , the annual meeting of the East Lincoln shire Rail !ll` way Company on the 23rd ; and the half-yearly • meeting of the London, Tilbury, and Southend la Railway Company on the 27th.

The third ordinary general meeting of the Duna burg and Witepsk Railway Company is convened for the 20th inst. 11 " The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Feb. 7, compared with that for the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation isms £26,922,520 Demotes £77,605 Circulation active Public deposits Other deposits Government securities in banking department Other securities in banking department Coin and bullion in both xd departments Seven day and other bills 409,301 Decrease 9,148 The Neat Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes It °cis ) in banking department The chief alteration is the heavy decline in the private deposits, but, as this has been largely made up by the influx of government deposits, combined zd with the repayments of advances on private secu (us ritiea, the reserve has been trenched upon to the extent of only 61,4621. la considering this decline in the reserve, it must not be tverlooked that the Bank's liabilities on deposits have undergone a much larger proportionate diminution.
