CLERKENWELL OrRIOOB CHAIGZ or MOST AGAINST • 'MAMMAL— Thomas warehouse man, Waller,i aarry 'cm business as • coal dealer and greengrooer, at No. 14, Brook-street, Holborn, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt, with being in the pompano's of • quantity of coal sacks that had been stolen from Clerkenwell. and Robert George, a hammerman, sod William Thompson, a labourer, both residing in Charles-street, Drury - lan e, with stealing two half hundred weights from • wolves in Hatton-garden. Inspector Brannan, of the F division, said that from in formation be received he, in company with other officers, watched the shop of Walker, as he had been told that Walker was in the habit of reoeiving stolen property. He saw Thompson and George go into Walker's chop, each of them) being s in the possession of fa half-hundred weight. They were in the shop for • short time, and when they came out they were taken into custody ; and when asked how they became possessed of the weights, they said they had stolen them from a coal van in Hatton-garden. They were then taken to the police station, and afterwards he (the witness) went with a trades man to the shop of Walker and asked him about the weights. He said that two young chaps had left two weights, sod that he intended to put them into the street on the fol. lowing morning. He then asked Walker if he had recently purchased any sacks which bad been stolen, and he replied in the negative, saying that all the sacks he had he bad had in his possession for about two years. Two tradesmen of the neighbourhood then looked over the sacks that were in Walker's shop and picked out several of them that belonged to them, and which had been stolen from their vans in the month of November last. The initials of the names of the owners of the sacks, which had been sewn in them, had been picked out ; but as tie initials had been put in with tanned string, the marks were still visible ; the inspector also found a tarpaulin in Walker's pos session which he said he bad had by him for some time ; but a witness said he had not the slightest doubt that it bad been stolen from his van a short time since. Witnesses were called who identified the sacks, and were cross-examined by a solicitor who attended for Walker. They admitted that at the different coal wharfs it was not unusual in the hurry of business for sacks to get mixed, and for one tradesman to get another tradesman's sacks in his possession. It was very unusual, I. fact they had n known of • case in which sacks which have got into a tradesman's pos session by mistake had the letters of the owners' names picked out. The solicitor for Walker contended that no jury would convict and that his client had come into the possession of the sacks accidentally. The prisoners George and Thompson pleaded guilty, and hoped that the magistrate would deal mercifully with them as it was their find offence. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that he should discharge Walker, who had been in prison fur a weak, but he bad better be careful what he was about. Walker would have to give up the stolen sacks that were found in his possession. The other prisoners would be sent to the Houle of Correction for six calendar months, with hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET. BEATLNG AGAIN. Dania' Lloyd, 40, by trade a shoemaker, and living in Ebenezer-street, Horton. was charged with sneakier bis wife, Elizabeth Lloyd, whose face bore numerous marks of ill-usage. A police-constable of the t division skid—Shortly after I o'clock this morning I heard screams proceeding from the prisoner's house, and having gained entruice found com plainant in bed, and her husband, with a poker in his hand, standing at the foot, using most horrible language and threatening her. She gave him into custody. He was sober. Wife—l was in bed when he came home, and because I had nothing but some cold fish for his supper, be struck at me with a poker. I avoided the direction of the blow, and it fell on my right wrist. Magistr►te-What are these marb on your face' Wife—This (pointing to a large scar) is where he stabbed me not long since.. Magistrals—And that (a bruise)• Wife—Oh, that he did soon afterwards. They were all caused by his violence at different times. I only wish him to keep away from me. Mofistrate—lhd you ever bring him here before" W —Oh, yes, air, and 18 months ago he was imprisoned for six mouths for cutting ray head open. Moristrate—When did you last charge him? Wife—l had a summons against him five weeks ago, but he did not attend to it ; he never does. Haynes, one of the warrant officers, mentioned that he had served numerous warrants and summonses upon the man ; but the truth was, that the wife invariably begged him off or forbore to appear. Mr. Cooke told the fellow that it was clear be had taken advantage of his wife's weakness to repeat with ins. purity assaults upon her—that her face bore manifest marks of what she hail been subjected to, and that as assaults of this character were very frequently before the magistrates at this court, be should send him for four months imprison ment to the House of Correction. Prisoner merely replied—She excites me to it. BRITISH AND AMERICAN EXCHANGE BANK- I.XU CORPORATION (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) The first ordinary general meeting of this com pany was held at one o'clock. at the head office, No. 1, Bank buildings, Lothbary, Mr. HARRY GEORGE GORDON in the The CHLIRYAN said that as that wee the first ordinary meetiog he would congratulate the shareholders on woolen in excellent premises, and at the same time express a hope that the concern would prove a prosperous one. The only reason for coeveniug a meeting then was the necessity of complying with the articles of association. Several of the directors now retired, and the vacancies must be tilled up. He coticluded by moving the re-election of the retiring directors. A `SHAREHOLDER thought the Dumber of directors should be increased from awe to fifteen, the number authorised by the constitution. and moved that Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., and Mr. Stock be elected. Another SHADIROLDER proposed the names of two Liver pool gentlemen—Hr. Durham and Mr. Hunter. The Crialituan thought it better that the question should be postponed till the meeting on the tith of February, ob serving that the board did not wish the number to be limited to eleven, and would propose additions which would no doubt be satisfactory to the company. The SOLICITOR observed that it was not competent to the meeting to increase the number of directors ou that occa sion, no notice having been given for that purpose. Mr. HARVEY LEM I, M.P., said be had been asked by several shareholders to become a director ; sad be thought it was competent to the meeting to proceed to an election. He then moved the adjournmeet of the meeting, to allow time for consideration. The amendment having beeo seconded by Mr. STOCK, The Souciron observed that the effect of carrying the amendment would be to leave the company without as executive. Mr. H. Lem. MP., uid he pelt bound to press hie amendment, adding that several legal gentlemen had given opinions in support of his vier of the matter. After some remarks from Mr. Helrrat, . . The SOLICITOR ernreased his strong conviction that it wu not competent to the meeting to transact any other Wai mea than the re-election of existing directors. The notice of the meeting expressly stated that no business would be done. The re-election of directors was in accordance with the articles of association. The CHAIRMAN said, acting on the (minims of his legal *timer, he must decline to put the amendment. Ile hoped Mr. Lewis himself would consent to the matter standing over till the 6th of February, especially as the board had been taken by surprise. Tbe Chairman thee proposed his own name separately for re-election, whereupon Mr. HARVEY Lrain said he should demand a poll, for the purpose of tenting the matter. He thought the shareholders had great reason to complain that whereas the notice stated that no business was to be transacted. it was in fact pro• posed to transact the moat important business, namely the re-election of the whole board. Mr. RENNIL a director, said the board would not them salve.. 611 up the vacancies for the present. Ik, for one, bad oo objection to Mr. Harvey Lewis, but some of the other names were unknown to ►im.

The Volunteer Fire Brigade promptly attended. and, with the assistance of the police, the fire was extinguished in less than an hour, the next bowies on both sides being but slightly damaged by fire and water.

Two dams The stock markets are somewhat firmer to-day, the rumour of a conference of the Great Powers on the Danish-German question having contributed to inspire more confidence, and having occasioned a few purchases by previous operators for lower prices. Consols, in waich this is settling day, are quoted for the February account the same as yesterday, but the quotation for money shows an improvement of per cent, There is also a slight advance in some of the speculative foreign stocks. Home railway securities have scarcely moved. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 66fr. 75c., being the same as at the close yesterday. Consols are now quoted 911 to 1, ex div., for money, and 91} to for the account (Feb. 4). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 91, ; ditto, for account, 911 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911. New Three per Cents., 911, 91 ; Bank Stock, 235, 236 ; India Stock, 219, ex div. ; ditto Bonds, 3s. preen., par ; Five per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 104 ; and Exchequer Bills, par, Is., he. dis. Foreign stocks are rather firmer. Greek Bonds are in demand, and have risen per cent. Mexican and Turkish Consolid6s have also improved to 1. Some of the present quotations are annexed : Turkish 1854 Loan, 89 to 90, being dull; ditto, 1858, 70 to 1 ; ditto, 1862, 671 to 68, ex div. ; the Consolidia . , 471 to ; Greek, 241 to 1 ; Mexican, 361 to 37 ; Passive, 341 to ; and Confederate, 38 to 40. Tran sactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 1852, 1858,1860, 88 ; ditto 1863, scrip, die. ; Dutch Certificates, 1011 ; Egyptian, 1011, ; ditto second issue, 1001, 101 ; Greek, for accowit, 241, ; Italian, for account, 671, g, ex div. ; Mexican, fur account, 361, 1, 1 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 851, 86, ex div. ; Portuguese, 1856, tkc., for account, 471, ?, ex div. ; Spanish Passive, for account, 341, 1 ; ditto Certificates, for account, 14, 1, ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 70, 691 ; ditto 1862, 100/. Bonds, 68, ex div. ; Venezuela, for account, 24 ; ditto, 1862, fur account, 56. The shares of the Australian and Eastern Navi gation Company opened this morning at 22 to 31 prem., sod are now quoted 24 to 21 prem. Contract Corporation are quoted 21 to n prem. ; and Mauri tius Laud Credit, 11 to 11 prem. The demand at the Bank of England discount office yesterday was only moderate. The repay ments of advances to that establishment commenced to-day. About 3,000/. in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The demand for the Continent continues, and any fresh supplies from America or Australis would probably at once be taken for export. _ There is a good demand for bar silver both for Calcutta and Bombay, and the price in firm at ss. lid. per ounce. The amount for the former port will be sent rid Marseilles. There is also a better inquiry for Mexican dollars for China, owing to the rise in the exchanges, and the remittances thither are likely to increase. The biddiugs for 50,00,000 rupees (500,0001.) in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were :—To Calcutta, 27,00,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 21,00,000 rupees ; and to Madras, 2,00,000 rupees. The nai tt i tttttt price declare d was as before, viz., Is. 141 per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 110. ou Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to §7O lace (3,700,000/.). Tenders on Calcutta at 2s. will receive about 13 per cent. ; on Ildhibay at 2s. Old., about 34 per cent. ; on Madras at Is. 110., about 60 per cent. ; and all above these prices in full. The magnitude of the applications above re corded denotes a large unsatisfied demand for the means of remittance to India, and promises to have its effect on the ;shipments of silver to that quarter. A very important undertaking is announced under the title of the Australian and Eastern Navigation Company (Limited). The capital is 2,000,0001., in 40,000 shares of 50/. each. The direction is of an extremely influential character, being composed as follows :viz., Mr. Tyndall Bright, of Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Liverpool; Mr. James Baines, of James Baines and Co., of Liverpool ; Mr. Richard S. Butterfield, of Butterfield Brothers, of Bradford ; Mr. Alfred Castellain, of Frederick Huth and Co., of Liverpool ' Mr. Benjamin Hey wood Jones, of A. Heywood, Sons, and Co., of Liverpool • Mr. Adam S. Kennard, of the Congo ' Witted BaLk • Mr. Samuel Martin, of Itathboue, Martin, and Co., of Liverpool ; Mr. John Grant Morris, chairman of the Alliance Bank, Liverpool ; Mr. Charles Mozley, of I. Barnett and Co., of Liverpool • Mr. W. A. F. Saunders, of Weuuing ton-hall, ; Mr. James Smith, of Grant, Smith, and Co., of Calcutta; Mr. John 6. Swire, of John Swire and Sons, of Liver pool ; and Mr. Henry T. Wilson, of H. T. Wilson and Chambers, of Liverpool. The basis of the undertaking is an amalgamation of the " Black Ball," "Eagle," and " White Star" lines of packets, trading between Liverpool and Melbourne, and it will be noticed that the owners of there hues are represented on the board of the new company. With a view to secure to theunder taking the full advantage of the experience of the men by whom the trade was created and organised, the services of the agents hitherto employed, both at home and abroad, are to be retained. Of the extent of the passenger trade au idea may be formed from the fact that these lines conveyed 22,409 passengers from Liverpool alone to Mel bourne in 18(32-63. Auxiliary screw steamers of large capacity are to be worked between England and Australia, in connexion with clipper sailing ships : The promoters point out that " the trouble, risk, and expense of forming a new business will be entirely avoided," and that " the company will come into possession of one of the largest and best organised trades in the world." The brokers in London are Messrs. P. C*200017(3 and Co and Helbert Wagg and CO. ; and in Liver pool, Meagre Tod Ashton and G. and T. Irvine. Another new undertaking is the Tamar, Kit Hill, and Callington Railway Company (Limited). It is explained that the object of this small mining railway is to facilitate the transit of goods, merchan dise, and mineral produce between the port of Plymouth, by the Tamar river at Kelly Quay and wharves, and the town of Callington, the centre of a great and increasing mining district, as well as the northern district of Cornwall np to Five Limes and Lauuceston. The distance is about seven miles, so that the mines will have a ready, quick, and economical means of conveying their ores to the sampling quays on the Tamar, together with the same facilities fur ob taining coals, timber, iron, and other im oessary materials in constant requirement. As the average present price for carriage of ores from the mines to the quay by carts is at the rate of Is. per ton per mile, the prosecution of the work is a point of considerable importance to the share holders in the numerous mines in that district, whose support is accordingly looked for. Granite quarries, clay deposits, &c., will also be opened up. and a good general traffic is anticipated. The con tractor, who has commenced operations, offers to take the line on lease, and to guarantee five per cent to the shareholders. The capital is 60,000., in 6,000 shares of 10/. each. The London and North Western traffic return shows this week an increase of 7,3981. over last year ; the Great Western an increase of 4,6421. ; the Great Northern an increase of 3,994 ; and the Great Eastern an increase of 3,6591. An extraordinary meeting of the Northern ; Bengal Tea Company is called for the 14th inst., ' when it will be proposed to dissolve the under 'taking, and authorise the directors to dispose of the lands, plantations, and other property of the com pany in India. ®, I Pd. j m. 1 1 pas:, II V®l M ft 61 1 c" 1101 11 73 1004 102 I tgii i 4 f 60 f 9C Si Bales. z In .NO7 - 1 35,000 3 AlmaUlm 'Limited, 3 par 3 paad, 70000 20 Amaralimn 75,000 1 :Boa Accord Cep.:llm , all 3 10,000 6 .11ra1tl.L.LII.C...,Lint ; all 1 15,004 10 Cape Copper ;Limited` 0 11 2 pao 25,000 2 .Depulanilver Limited! 15a. 3 d par ' 12.0001 40 Vobre Copper all 32 34 I 10,000 20 •Oopiapo 11mIted1 :l6 , 2 7 100,000. 1 .Dun Pedro.
