THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1864. In this as in nearly ell such cases there is a mistreat be tween the man and woman ; the complainant being of slight stature and meek-spoken. Her evidence wa s thie— f have cohabited with this man for • eonsiderable time, and have three children by him. On Sunday, 21st of last November 1 was in bed at 49, Old Nichol-street, Shore ditch, when he came home, and without any words, shack roe on the side of my body with his fist and afterwards on my chest. 1 last my senses and recollect nothing more until I recovered at the London Hospital ; my bead was then bound with surgical strappinp. I was quite well notil he struck me, as I have sworn. Fordhem 197 H—Between 12 and 1 o'clock on the more. log of the day mentioned I wee informed that • woman was in a dreadful condition at the house in question, and haateniog there, found the complainant un dreesed and completely covered with blood, and lying on a bed in au upper room. I instantly ran for • doctor, who went hack with me, dressed a wound in her head, and directed me to have her conveyed to the hospi tal, which I did. This morning she wee allowed to come out, and I then, from her statement, took the prisoner into custody. He denied the chugs. Mr. Howard Dilworth, surgeon, of Spitalaquare, at a subsequent hearinl before Mr. Ellison, deposed—l found this woman complete state of collapse, and in fact had I been a few minutes later she must have bled to death ; blood was pumping eat in • jet as thick as my little firiger, and spirted into my face as I leant over her. It proceeded from a contused wound, that had completely divided the temporal artery. I instantly secured the artery, put • pad on it. and directed her careful removal to the hospital. She wee in imminent danger. Caroline Hodges, a daughter of the prisoner's, and who called complainant her aunt, was required to give testi mony, she having been in the room when the outrage woe committed, but it required the greatest perseverance to elicit anything unfavourable to her father, who she swore did not strike with anything but his fist, and then only after complainant had pulled his hair and beaten him—that he only hit once, and almost directly dressed and left the house, moreover that she was tipsy. Mr. Dilworth said that the injury must have been caused by a blunt instrument used with great force ; neither blow with • fist nor any fall could have produced it. The prisoner, at the first examination, made a statement in defence that differed from his daughter's, and on learning DOW that he would be sent for trial made an effort to reach the poor woman, whom he at the same time threatened with upraised fists and coarse lauguage. Remanded for completion of depositions. FINANCIAL CORPORATION.—(TIIIS DAY.) This day the first ordinary meeting of this cor poration way held at the London Tavern ; Mr. Goonsox is the chair. The Ca.tritmax said that the meeting was called because the articles of association required that a meeting should be held in the year I:it:4. The accounts would be made up to the end of the year, and a sleeting would be called in January, when a full statement of the company's affairs would be made. At present all he could say was, that they were going on s►t•sfactorily. Mr. Minima and Quilter, Ball, and Co. were appointed auditors. Mr. Dowtm; suggested that the directors should take ioto consideration the propriety of amalgamating with some other finanjal company whose shares were at a greater premium than their own, but whose capital wu not so large; so as to equalise the two. He considered that finan cial companies were rather overdone in the City. The CLIAIPMAN said it was impossible for him to give an answer to such a question on the moment, but of course the directors would give every consideration to all questions which concerned the interests of the shareholders. All he mould say was that aa far as they had gone their affairs were satisfactory. Mr. THovrsoN said there was a report in circulation that the dividend would be a smaller one. He wished to know whether the chairman was in a position to give an answer as to whether that report was well founded or not. Mr. WALFORD, the managing director, said that it would be premature at that moment to state what the dividend would be, but he believed it would be considered a satisfac tory one. (Hear, hear ) In reply to a question, The CHAIRAI•N said that the question of a further call had not been discussed, but when a call was made it would not be a heavy one. The meeting then separated. LONDON, RRIOHTOY, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, an extraordinary special general meeting was held at the offices, London-bridge station; Mr. L Sall:ST/a is the chair; for the purpose of considering and sanctioning agreements for the amalgamation with this com pany of the Banstead and Epsom Downs Railway Com pany, the Horsham and Guildford Direct Railway Com pany.tbe East Grinstead,Groombridge, and TunbridgeWells Railway Company, and the Brighton, Ucittield, and Tun bridge-walla Railway Company, and for the purpose of caring_such amalgamation into e ff ect. The Cuatamax submitted the usual confirmatory resolu tions, which were carried, the heads of the proposed agree ments having first been read by Mr. Faithful, the solicitor. Lich of the companies which under those agreements wiU be amalgamatr 1 with the Brighton previously held meetings and proposed resolutions, adopting them in so far as they were respectively cortosru4xt GENERAL INTERNATIONAL AGENCY COM PANY (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, at an extraordinary general meeting of this tympany, held at the of 17, Gre •echnrch street ; Mr. Cu•areats ID the char ; a report was read in which the directors stated the re.sons which bad induced them to enter into a preliminary agreement, with a slew to an amalgamation with the General Financial and Estate Agency Corporation (Limited). After some discussion, the proposal of amalgamation was rejected, and a resolution como to for the winding up of the company. A meeting will take place on January 4, to con firm this resolution. " On Friday evening last," writes "The Fla near" who corresponds with a contemporary, "when the members of the Royal Academy of Arts were assembled together, after the despatch of the business for which they bad bees summoned, the presidset, Sir Charles Eastlake, rose, pursuant to notice, to call ►tten tion to a communication from John Gibson. R.A., the first sculptor of his day. It wee to the effect that be, John Gibson, intended to bequeath at his death to the Royal Academy a sem of thirty-two thousand pounds (.12,0001.) on condition that that body slioc'd fit up and keep in perpe tuity three moderate-sized rooms for the reception of the costs of all the testator's works. It is needless to say that the veteran sculptor's generous proposal was received with *nth ugh! sm." THE " FENIAN,'"i CANADA..—TORCNIO, C. W., Dic. 6.—The esti lament in rep rd to the Fenian Brotherhood re Tinier a, and is becoming more and more intensified. Lest night en Orange lodge was broken open, and all its pro. party destroyed by Fenian. Some fine portraita of queen Victoria were dims ecafally mutilated. Ezcitemeat to-day is running high, and fears of violence are entertained. The SNOW STORM.—The piercing north-easterly winds which have prevailed for the past few days have been succeeded by an unusually heavy fall of snow, which continued without intermission from an early Lour on Sun day morning until between 12 and I o'clock in the afternoon. On the 16th there were 25 bathers in the Serpentine, the next day 24, and yesterday there were IS. Although not a particle of toe could be s , en on aoy of the ornamental waters in any of the royal parka on Saturday morning, yesterday the greater portion of the Serpentine in Hyde park wet frozen over, and the ice was three quarters of an inch thick. Mr. Lambton Young, the secretary, and Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, have given orders for a number of men to be employed to day in erecting some tents for temporary hospita ls in the Regent's and St. James's parks. These tents are to be fitted up with beds and hot eater baths, so as to afford assistance to any who may become immersed. The society has also gone to great expense in providing three new ice boats of improved make to reader assistance in CAN of accidents. In the suburbs the snow was of considerable depth, and in the neighbourhood of Sydsobatu and Norwood there were very heavy drifts, as also io the northern parts of the town. In every omit space !snowballing was carried on by boys in defiance of the police. The congregation of St. Clement Danes, Strand. Oil leaving the parish church, were attacked by an unruly rabble, who had been snow balling among themselves duneg the forenoon with• out the police interfering, the officers being engaged in ' the vicinity of the church duriog Divine service. The rioters finding that they were unmolested began to hurl snowballs as hard as stones, and hate were knocked off, and afterwards kicked and broken, and women were knocked down. The riot continued for more than an hour, when, in cooaeqnsoce of some panes of glass having been broken, one of the ringleaders, about 30 years of age, was given into custody sod locked up in Bow-street station. Soon afterwards peace was restored by the arrival of addi tional policemen. During the whole of the day the trains arriving at the different metrvolitao stations were very late, the machioery having been so much affected by the • weather that frequent stoppages were rendered neoessery. At one period in the morning the omnibuses ceased to run. the roads being as slippery as glass. In consequence of the depth of the snow in the 'treats of Chatham and the I neighbouring city of Rochester all locomotion was at teoded with great difficulty, and in the country around the ; snow is described as having fallen to a considerable depth, nearly suspending all the ordinary traffic. la the railway cuttings to the southeast of London the snow was un usually deep, and in consequence the passage of the trains was considerably retarded. SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 18. —The agents of the North German Lloyd's at this port have received the fol lowing telegram :—" New York, Dec. 7.—The Bremen, which sailed lithos oa the 3rd hist.. put back on the sth with the loss of her vertical pin.

The stock markets to-day, though very inactive, are firm. The funds remain at Saturday's quo tations. Home railways, in most cases, are steady. Some of the speculative foreign stocks are in betterdemand, the chief change being a rise in Spanish Passive Bonds and Ceri.ificates. The discount market continues firm, with a good amount of business, and no transactions are reported below 51 per cent. Short loans are in request in the Stock Exchange at Se per cent. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 65fr. 30c., showing no alteration. Consols are now quoted 891 to 1, ex div., for money, and 894 to ex div., for the account (Jan. 10). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 891, I, g ; ditto for account, 894 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 88g, ; New Three per Cents., 88i, 4,1 ; Annuities, 1885, 141 ; India Stock, abut ; ditto Five per Cent. stock, 103 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1866, 98 ; ditto Bonds, 35., be. prem. ; and Exchequer Dills, 45. dia. ,par. Foreign stocks are firm. Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates have risen -to per cent., upon the teas of the re-installation in power of the Narvaez Ministry. Mexican, Greek, and Turkish Cousolides are also * to } per cent. better. Some of the present quotations are as follows, viz.. :—Greek, 23 to } ; Mexican, 29} to ; Confederate, 61 to G 3 ; Spanish Paa.ive, 31* to ; the Certificates, 13; to 141 ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 70 to 71 ; ditto 1862, 711 to 72} ; and the Consolides, 47i to Transactions are recorded as follows :—Equador New Consolidated, 12; Egyptian, 95} ; ditto, second issue, 93,1 ; ditto 1864, 95}, 95 ; Greek, for account, 23* ; Italian, for ac count, 64; ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 711 ; Mexican, for account, 290 ; ditto, 1864, 271 Moorish, 95 ; Russian, 1862, 87f ; ditto 1864, 88* ; Spanish, for account, 4E4, I ; ditto Passive, for account, 31*, ; ditto Certificates, for account, 14, 131, ; Turkish, 1802, for account, 72, g ; ditto 100/. bonds, 721 ; Venezuela One and a Half per Cents., 91,.

The committee have to-day decided to close the Stock Exchange on Saturday, the 24ti iust, and ou Monday, the 26th. The scrip certificates of the United Danubian Principalities Loan are now ready for delivery, iu exchange for the letters of allotment at the Imperial Ottoman Bank. About 32,000!. in gold was sent into the Bank on Saturday, and 53,000 sovereigns were with drawn fur Alexandria. The Eastern exchanges, with one unimportant exception, exhibit movements in favour of thin country, so that, apparently, no important increase in the demand for silver for that quarter need be apprehended at present. At Shanghae, according to the telegram received, the reduction amounts to as much as ad., while at Bombay and Calcutta it is id. At Canton a rise of Id. has taken place. The mails from Calcutta, China, and Bombay, which have reached Suez, are expected to be dis. tributes in London about the 26th inst. The directors and officials of a great number of public companies are now engaged in preparing the reports and balance-sheets to be submitted to the general meetings early in the new year. It is to be hoped that due recognition will be given to the growing demand on the part of the public for fuller and more explicit information than has latterly been afforded. The accounts of public companies can hardly be too full or precise, and the day is rapidly passing away when shareholders will sit down contented with the meagre information hitherto doled out to them by those who are really their servants, but who occasionally arrogate to themselves the position of dictators. It will be as well that the directors of public companies should take note of the spirit of insubordination which is rapidly finding place amongst joint-stock proprie taries. Directors are but stewards, and must learn to render full accounts of their stewardship. The manner in which many of the periodical balance-sheets are framed is simply disgraceful. The least information is per haps given by those companies which have proved the most successful, and it is cm utin that but for that success, which excuses everything, share holders would not submit to the practical insult to their understanding involved in such scanty infor mation. Several cases have occurred during the last few mouths which prove that losses of a most senous nature may be concealed for years through a dexterous manipulation of the figures of balance- 1 sheets, and it is surely time, after the experience of the Unity Bank, and similar disastrous adven tures, that a radical reform should be enforced. Every bank, for instance, ought to be compelled to state in a separate line the amount of the past due bills held by it. To advert to another abuse, no bank ought to be allowed to class its liabilities ou acceptances amongst its deposits. Wink at such a system though we may, it is hardly too much to say that it involves a deliberate suppression of the truth—a concealment of facts with which both the shareholders and the public, as customers of the banks, have a right to be made acquainted. As regards our financial companies, they are still young, and it is the more important, therefore, that iu their earliest stage they should avoid the censurable course which has been pursued by too many other associations. It is at this period a question as to the mode iu which the financial companies should frame their balance-sheets ; and the establishment of a good precedent in the matter will be a great gain. We contend that all these companies ought, without reserve, much less concealment, to give periodi cally a complete list of the investments held by them, with of course the amount in each case. With these particulars before them, and with all the companies' securities valued not at fictitious but at the current market prices, shareholders and the investing public will incur little danger of miscalculating the intrinsic value of their pro perty. it is the more necessary that this matter should be discussed, and the salutary influence of public opiniowbrought to bear upon it, because, short though the career of the financial companies has yet , been, there have been several indications of an absence of correct principles. It is our hope and belief that financial and credit companies will in the future set their mark broadly and deeply upon the trade and finance of this empire, but the wider , their scope, and the more important their functions, the more essential is it that these associations should be conducted upon the highest and soundest I principles. The West India steamer from Southampton on Saturday took out 14,5001. in gold from the Lou- . don and Venezuela Bank for Caracas. I The annual meeting of the Brazilian Land and Mining Company (Limited) is called for the 28th inst. sod will be made special, to oonSrm the pur chase by the directors of the debt due by the Na tional Basilian Mining Association to the executors of the late William Hamilton.

CRYSTAL PALACE.--(TllIS DAY.)—At 10 o'clock this morning the sue shone out brilliantly at Sydenham. The Crystal Palace grounds, with the varied vegetation of rare trees and plants. partly covered with snow, presented • beauti - ul aspect. The bright sky lit the Palace itself. Not a particle of snow remained en the roof of the Palace, the temperature maintained within the build ing being sufficient to melt it re it fell on the gime. During Saturday night the thermometer outside registered 13 de grees of frost ; bet eight it did not descend more than 5 de grees below the freezing point. Within the Palace, by means of the fifty miles of hot water apparatus, the tem perature maintained was comfortably warm, about 55 de gree*, the temperate point of Fahrenheit.

The way in which the wheels of the guard's break and those of owe of the salt vane were imbedded in the earth, 'beneath the Imagine of the express train, rendered the task of clearing the floe a long sod difficult one. sod the fire, of the engines of the different goods trains waiting on the taphole between Peagboaroe and Goring to proceed on their journeys had to be got no, sod the trains were not ell despatched until after mid day. The traffic during the morning was delayed, but the special train conveying her Majesty and suite from Windsor to Seeing ■toke was only a few minutes late, and its progress was not in the least degree impeded by the confusion at Reedits( consequent upon the accident. Uu Saturday night, in Peter-street, Manchester, an explosion of oxygen gas killed a man and • little bn, and ly injured the man's wife (who was prematurely I confined in cousequenam), besides destroying that part of the house in which the accident °marred. The name of the suffering family is Crowther, and the husband, Samuel Crowther, was once property-master Lithe Theatre Royal. His son Arthur, aged two yearn, was in the kitchen, his wife was in the doorway. . . . Qree.NsLANI Eld I•RATION. —Tile /lb ip Flying Cloud, heloriging to Meters. T. 11.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English whei.t were again limited. Notwithstandiog that the show of both rt 1 and white samples was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a eluggish state. Floe qualities were diepseed of at last Monday's currency, but damp parcels were ditl.-tult of sale at barely previous quotations. The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. American produce was Lakeu to a moderato extrut, at fall prices, but other kinds were a dull inquiry, at late rates. A full average supply of both ED&lish and foreign barley was on offer. All descriptions met a heavy ini t airy, a: the late decline in value. Malt was ia full average *apply, and heavy request, at last week's prices. We were extensively supplied with foreign oitr. which uiet a dull inquiry, at, in sonic instances, a slight decline in value. Eoglish qiuslities supported previous rates. la hears very little was pass*, at barely last week's pries. . . . - Peas commanded very little attention, although the sup ply was small.
