The depositions of the deceased man were taken by Mr. Burcham a few days ago at the hospital, when In the presume of the prisoner. He stated that hehad been very much annoyed by the prisoner and hie ocropsnions, who were Belfast men, during the mange from Liverpool to London. He had hurt one of his feet and was compelled to wear a slipper at tinier. On the arrival of the vessel In the port of London on Saturday week he had occasion to go into the stokers' room, near the engine-room, for the purpose of looking for his slipper. It was dark, and he took down the lamp to look for it, when the prisoner knocked the lamp out of hie hand. They then had a fight, and he got away and went for his brother. On his return they had another light, and the prisoner seized hold of his leg and threw hint down the stoke-hole. Inspector Jotusatone, Thames police, said he took the pri soner into custody, and had the deceased conveyed to the hospital. He was immediately attended to, and it was covered that his spine was broken just below the neck. He survived three days, when he expired in great agony. Robert McNeil, a stoker on board, mud he saw the fight, and he believed that the deoses t d fell accidentally down the stoke-hole. They were rolling over each other for some minutes. Jam as Coates, another stoker, said he witnessed part of the affray, and saw the deceased fall down the stoke-hole. He ems picked up insensible, and conveyed to the hospital.

Mr. Combos stated that on Saturday evening last he missed the dog from hie house, and on making inqui ries in the neighbourhood he found two witnesses who saw his dog in the arms of a tall man, who walked awa along the St. George's-road. Soon after he put a Mil in his window offering a reward of twenty s tor the restoration of the dog, and shortly the female called on him, said she had found a dog, which she had no doubt wee his, and asked him to go to her lodging in Union street to see it. Ho went to her residence, and thin saw his dog, and the prisoner asked for payment of the retread. He told her he should pay it it he found that she led nothing to do with the stealing of the animal, and desired her to call at his house.

Mr. Sergeant nee said in this case, which was an an officio information, triad before Lord Campbell, at the laat sittings at Guildhall, and in which • verdict was found be the QM spinet all the defendants, he was instructed M mem as the part of Mr. Richard Hartley Kennedy, ens of the ishadeats, fur • rule to show cause why there sheeld net be a raw trial on the ground of the verdict being whit the evidence, and also on the ground of misdirection by the hissed judge. The leaned counsel, after giving a Ikea& of the history of the bank, said the informa- Yen eberged that the defendants did among themselves staryire, confederate, and agree falsely and faudulently *publish and represent to the shareholders, cuetomers, end Queen's subjects, that the said bank and its affairs bad been for the year ending the 31st of December, 1855, and then went in a sound and prosperous condition, producing profits divisible among the shareholders, they well knowing that the bank and its affairs had not been du nag the year aforesaid, and then were not In a sound and prosperous condition—with intention to deceive and defraud ; and that in puissance of such con spiracy they did publish to the shareholders and the public an attract of the balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st of December, 185.5, which sets out • dividend of 6 per cent., sad an amount of assets of 1,178,8121. The hut item included is that sum, and the one which the peneenedits Impeached, was this —" By loans on con vertible auserities for short periods, advances on cash, credits', bUle discounted, &c.,986,2721." The information charged that the report and balance-sheet were fates in two material parti es's/le first, in declaring • dividend out of the profits at the rate of 6 per cent.; secondly, in placing the amount of assets at • sum in *roam by 180,0001., that sum being proved to be Irrecoverable debts at the time the report was made. Now, be submitted that the re port and balance•theet were according to the evidence at the trial—not false, but true—and that, if false, there was no evidence to justify the verdict against Mr. Kennedy. If they were trait, there would of course ba an end of the prosecution. The whole of the weight of the charge was founded on their falseness, and the misdirection of which he complained was that the learned judge, with the evidence before him, told the jury that those documents were false. The learned connect then proceeded to deal with the first charge as to the declaration of a dividend out of the profits, and contended that under the terms of the charter under which the bank was established the profit. of 1866 were properly divisible among the shareholders, even although it was overwhelmed with old debts, amounting to more than three Hines the amount of those profits. If that were so ; he submitted that the prosecution would also fail. The directors, in tact, were not only entitled but bound by the charter to divide the profits of the year among the shareholders. The charter said that no sum out of the net profits should be set aped for the surplus fund which was available for bad debts, if by reason thereof the dividend for the current year would be reduced below four per cent. per annum. That theory might be false, but it was one upon which the directors wen boated to act. Even though the bank was hardened with • heavy debt which the profits for the year would sot nearly cover, yet it was their duty to declare a a dividend out of those profits. Lead Campbell—Even though the bank is insolvent P Mr. Berjeant Slue—When It is insolvent of course the beak must stop, but so long as it goes on that moat be done. We ere not discussing whether this le • sound princi ple or not; it may be perfectly valid, bat I would rather say, from the history of the bank, that his &delusive theory, and one which in many cases must lead to confusion and perhaps failure; but If your lordships are satisfied that the polls of the year were properly divisible among the share beihne, although, instal of there being any actual profits, Shire wee • large deficit, then this prosecution fella to the mum& _ (Tbe karuod counsel was procepliwg with hie argnment vim the report left).

As thatchers an but men and are, moreover, in the habit of damping themselves as well as their straw, the pulse of the pastor had been repeatedly drawn upon in the coarse of the work, till at lengtb, drawing the strings thereof tightly together with atom hem, he tied them in a double knot; and when the Imes applied for a farther advance of the current aria, be responded to the appeal—" Nn, when you , have 1111110 year jeh, you shall have your money." Now the thatcher, Aber an stack-tcp or other exposed situation, had he.. struck by a pair of bright eyes ; the lady's circum stances were passing; sad after due preliminaries the pair pummel themadves to the curate at the alter. Steadily the osremony proceeded up to the productien of the hoop el gold, whoa the minister, *trimly following the directions of the rubric, as It seems is the custom thereabouts—required him to " lay It upon the book with the accustomed duty 10 the priest and clerk ; " in other words, demanded the mat when the bridegroom, thinking a like principle la t 7: apply to thatcher and curate, replied—" No, when you have done your job you shall have your money." The irreverent retort, and the refusal to let the curate draw on account, cut short the marriage ceremony. The book was closed ; and the willing pair, though th eir dwelling pleas are not far render, still remain only half married.—Essex Herald. Two Edinburgh ladies have received 75W. from the Kendal and Windermere Railway Company as eampaa- Ration for the loss of Meth, sad injury to the jaw, tc.— Ideobergh &pm. Will IMAM MONEY MARKEZ-THIS DAY. Two o'CLt ca. The financial statement of Mr. Disraeli caused a rise of per cent, in the funds this morning, which, however, has not been supported up to the present hour. Prices are now quoted about 1-16 per cent. higher than they closed yesterday. The other markets are firm. The government broker has made another small investment. Consols for the 6th May have touched 961 to 97, and are now quoted exactly 96/. For money the present price is 96g. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 951 to ; tha New Three per Cents., 951 to ; Bank Stock at 221 to 222; India Stock at 122 ; Exchequer Bills at 345. to 364. prem.; Exchequer Bonds, 1889, at 1001. The New Indian Loan is steady at 991 to 100. Turkish Six per Cents. have advanced to 971 to 1, ex div. Venezuelan Bonds continue in demand, and have again risen, being last marked 38. Russian and Dutch Bonds also continue in de mand. Prices in this department are generally firm. Sales are recorded sa follows:—DutchTwo-and-a-Half per Cents., 6.51, 661 (exchange 12 6.) ; ditto, Four per Cents. Certificates, 99, 981 ex div.; Danish Five per Cents,lol 1 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 811; ditto, Three per Cents., for account (April 30), 66 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Center 101 ; Sardinian Five per Cents,9ol ; ditto,for 'coma, 911; Turkish Six per Cents., for account (April 30), 911, ex div. ; ditto, Guaranteed Foor per Cents., 1041 ; Venezuela Foue-and-Three-Quarters per Cents., for account, 361, 36; ditto Deferred Two per Cents., 141. At Paris to-day (Tuesday) according to Mr. Reuter's telegr►m, the Three per Cent. Renton opened at 69.5, showing a further decline of 100. as compared with the closing price of yesterday. The supply of money continues extremely large, and the demand is slacker. At the Bank the appli cations yesterday were upon a very quiet scale; and in the open market choice bills are discounted at 24 to 24 per cent. In the Stock Exchange there was little or no inquiry for loans. . In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday assignees were appointed in the case of Messrs. Oak and Snow, of the Blandford Bank. The liabilities on deposit accounts are stated at 15,1471., on current accounts at 24,4341., and on notes in circulation at 8,5901. The 410,8001. in specie brought from the Brasile by the Medway will be delivered to day. Of this large remittance at least 200,0001. is known to consist of sovereigns, which will doubtless be sent into the Bank in a day or two. Of the 190,400!. in specie brought from the West Indies by the Magdalena, 114,8001. is described as silver, and 75,8001. as gold. The Pera, from Alex andria, has also brought 17,0001. The ship La Hogue has arrived from Sydney, bat is not known to have any gold on freight. In the wheat market yesterday a reduction of Is. to 3s. per quarter from the previous Monday's rates was established. A telegram from St. Petersbury quotes the ex change on London at 3.5 15.16 d. V.C. tallow was quoted 176 ro. for June, and 167 to 168 ro., with 10 ro. down, for August. Holders of Venezuelan Bonds are interested In the intelligence of a new and successful revolution in that Republic. A letter dated La Guayra, the 22nd March, contains the following : The revolution against the /dosages government boa been entirely successful, and Honagas haa resigned. The oongrees manned his resignation, and dissolved. A provimonal government bee been established, and the parties at the head of the same are the most influential and respectable in the country. Such is the feeling of general clotguat throughout the country, that on the first outbreak 10,600 men docked te the standard of the patriots, whereas Monagee could not retie 1,000 men. He has taken refuge, with hie tunily, at the French Legation. A memorandum has been issued by the Com mittee of Mexican Bondholders. The position of the Mexican government was apparently somewhat stranger, but its financial destitution is sufficiently indicated by the speedy exhaustion of the loan of 300,0001. described as obtained from the clergy. It may be noticed that the committee propose to distri bute the 96,3461. now deposited in the Bank of Eng land on dividend account. This amount would re present a payment of about 18s. 6d. per cent.. but perhaps half of a half-yearly dividend may be paid, and the balance retained. Statements that a serious difference has arisen be tween the governments of Brazil and Buenos Apes are uncomfirmed in advioes received in quarters which are usually well informed. The Brighton Railway Company's traffic return presents this week a decrease of 8281. The corre sponding week of last year was Easter week. We understand that the project for the Algerian railways, with a guarantee of 6 per cent, from the French government, is likely to be soon definitively launched on the London and Paris markets. The capital required for the first section will be below two millions sterling. The Illinois Central Railway Company's land sales for March were 97,819 dols. against 28, 288 dots. in February, and their traffic, as telegraphed from Chicago to New York, was 163,326 idols. in March against 112,685 dole. in February. The numbers are published of 146 bonds, amount ing to 69,6001., of the Danish Three per Cent. Loan, which have been cancelled under the sinking fund. MONDAY IVEI2IIIII. The funds opened this morning with flatness, at a decline off per cent., some persons evincing appre hension u tothe influence which the acquittal of M. Bernard may exercise upon the relations between our government and that of France. It was soon found, however, that the public are bona Me buyers of stock ; and, the government broker also purchasing 28,0001. Reduced Three per Cents., the market re ceived a decided stimulus. During the whole of the afternoon much firmness prevailed, and the closing quotations were about 3-16 per cent. above those of Saturday. Consols, which clamed on Saturday at 961, " sel lers," for the 6th of May, opened this morning at 961, "sellers," but soon improved, and closed firmly at 96 11-16 to 4 . For money the last price as 961, " sellers." %le official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 9 6 1, 4,1, 1; ditto, for account (6th May), 961, I, 1. Thies per Cent.

The new Indian Loan was in demand, and ad vanced 1 per cent., closing at 991 to 100. Exchequer Bills were quoted 335. to 38e. prem. In the foreign stock market the principal move ment was in Venezuelan Active Bonds, which were in demand, upon the overthrow of the government, and were marked as high u 35. Turkish Six per Cents, were first marked 981, but closed pet cent. higher than on Saturday, at 971 to f ex div. The Onaranteed Four per Cents. were quoted 104 to j. Other foreign stocks were well supported.
