Inspottor Brennan stated that he attended the inquest on the body of the deceased William King, when the jury returned the following special verdict :—The deceased died from compression of the brain, mused by a fall ; but how it wee ocemaimed we have no evidence to show ; but we think it was occasioned from his being drank ; but we think no imputation ought to be cast on Mallard for acing any violence." Mr. L Lewis said there was examined at the inquest. a woman (a stranger to the parties) who witaresed the oc currence outside the house ; whereas the widow, whose evidence chiefly weighed against Mallard, now admitted that she was inside the house at the time.

Is this cue Mrs. Whitmore had obtained a decree nisi, es the ground of hrm husband's adultery and cruelty. The Queen's praetor then intervened, aid a fortnight ago the court dismissed the petition, on the ground that duriog the =of the suit Mrs. Whitmore had herself committed . Mr. Pritchard, on ber behalf, had sine applied for an attachment against the respondent for alimony and owls up to the present time. Dr. Twice, Q. 0., aid Dr. Wasbey, on the other hand, contended that she was not entitled to costs and damages after the Bth of July last, when the decree nisi was granted, and when the lie ceased. Sir J. Wilde now gave judgment. Re thought that the petitioner was entitled to enforce the order for alimony, which she had already obtained till the date of the dismis sal of bar petition ; otherwise a premium would be given to husbands to neglect to pay alimony, in the hope that something might turn up and give them an excuse for not paying at all. There must, therefore, be an attachment as prayed. As regarded the coats, it was too late tor a wife, after proof of her adultery, to obtain any new order for the payment of costs, bat the order already made must be maimed.

The posscator is a gentleman who reside. at Tudor-lodge. Wandsworth, and it appeared that in the night of the 9th of October the house was broken open, and a eonaiderable quantity of plate stolen. The robbery was effected in s very ingenious and daring manner. The Premises were entered by the pantry window, and to the first instance the thieves covered the glass endows with paper on which treacle had been spread, and this prevented it from making any noise when it was pushed eat. They then, by means of • stick and a piece of strong tope, used as a lever, forced out the iron ban of the win dow, and thus effected an entry to the pantry and stole • quantity of silver plate, which they carefully selected from the plated articles, and they succeeded in getting away with their booty. It turned out upon inquiry that • man named Shaw had been " keeping company" with Mr. Martin's housekeepsr. and was in the habit of visiting bee, and suspicion fell upon this man, and he was takes into custody and tried at the last session, envicted, and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. After his conviction Shaw appeared to have given informa tion which led to the apprehension of the prisoner, and he was sow examined as a 'Hoene against the prisoner, being brought to the court in his convict garb, in the charge of a warder of the Penitentiary at Millbank. According to his *video°e the robbery was "put up" by the prisoner, tad he made an appointment to meet him about a week before the burglary was committed, and he then told him that he knew where he could get some money, and suggested that they should rob the house of the prosecutor. Be went on to say that be and the prisoner went down to Wandsworth together on the night of the 9th cf October, and obtained as senesce in the manner above stated, but he said that the prisoner was the man who actually went in, and that be remained in the house for two hours, and then same out with • bag 'mobilising the plate. He said that they sat in • summer-house until it was daylight, when they proceeded to the Putney station and went to London. According to the evidence of the man Shaw he was an un willing actor in the transaction, and as a proof of this he said that be placed some of the stolen property in a shrub bery tear the prceecutoes house, in order that he might set be deprived of it sad the plate was found in the place be had described. This fact being relied upon as strong medinastion of his story. Another circumstance that was abs relied on as tending to confirm the story told by the resa Shaw was that on the wonting of the robbery both prisoners were met by a poliogecoestable walking in the direction of the Putney 'taloa. The porter at the railway entice also proved that a day or two before the robbery was committed Shaw and the prisoner left • black bag in his °horse, and they fetched it sway on the same night the robbery took place, and it appeared that this was the beg that was found in the shrubbery, and in which the stolen property was found. The defence that was set up for the prisoner was that the accomplice Shaw had trumped up the charge against the prisoner in the hope that he might obtain some benefit, either by his treatment in prison or by • commutation of his sentence. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. There was then • previous conviction for felony proved against the prisoner. &Mecca was deferred. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

MONEY MARKIIT.-(THI8 DAY.) Oita o'Omienr. The stook markets are steady to-day, but there is little business, apart from that connected with the half-monthly settlement in shares and foreign stocks. Consols are unchanged for money, but have improved 1-16 per cent. for the account. Most of the British railway securities and foreign bonds are quoted the same as yesterday, with the exception of Spanish Passive and Certifi cates, which show a further slight decline. The shares of the financial companies continua to meet with inquiry. Joint Stock Discount, however, I remain heavy, at 5 to 41 dis. The demand for discount to-day is fair, and the rate for the best paper is maintained at 7i to 7i per cent. The charge in the Stock Exchange for short loans on English government pecurities is 7 per cent. Consols are quoted 86/ to 87 for looney, and 87 to 1 for the account (February 8),, The transactions in foreign impurities have not been numerous, and prices generally show no vari ation. Turkish Bonds of 1865 and Spanish Passive and Certificates are rather fiat, and have receded 1 per cent. The quotations are as follows :—Greek, 131 to 14; Italian, 611 to 4; Mexican, 201 to 4 ; Spanish Passive, 251 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to ; Turkish, 1865, 39/ to 1 ; Brazilian scrip, to prem. ; Egyptian scrip, to prem. International Financial shares are now quoted Ito prem. ; General Credit, 11 to prem. ; London Financial, 11 to ft prem. ; Imperial Meroar tile, 14 to 21 prem. ; Credit Fonder and Mo biller, 34 to 1 prem. ; and Overend, Gurney, and Company, 41 to 51 prem. London Steam Towing shares are now quoted 11 to 2 prem.; Charles Laffitte and Co., 24 to 1 prem.; and Galatz Candle, to 11 prem. No gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for export, but the whole of the arrivals from Australia and America continue to be absorbed. The Shannon, from the West Indies, has brought 208,6001. in specie, and the Canada, from Boston, 7,5001. The silver market is now quiet, with little busi ness, but the next Bombay packets are expected to take large amounts, as already stated, the silver having been bought previously. The cotton season in the East is now closing. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 2,2101. over the corre sponding week of last year, and the Brighton an increase of 3,1511. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 12th inst., Isere 10,5671., being 8731. more than in the correspon ding week of last year. The directors of the Erie Railway Company met in New York on the 17th inst., and declared a dividend of 31 per cent on tho preference shares, and 4 per cent. on the common shares for the half year ending the 31st Deo. last, both payable in New York on the sth February. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, the 2nd of February, a spedal settling day in the shares of the English and American Ba nk (Limited, ) which are to be marked in the o ffi cial list. The "Law Reports," of the 25th inst., showed that Vice-Chancellor Stuart has dissolved an in junction, granted on a previous day, which re strained the newly formed American Oil Wells Trading Company (Limited) from a_pplying to the Stock Exchange for a settling day. The injunction was granted ex parte, on the application of a share holder, who represented that the prospectus con tained fraudulent misrepresentations. The Vice- Chancellor, in dissolving the injunction, said that the evidence on which he granted it bad been totally contradicted. Therefore the injunction must be dissolved with oosta, anethere must be an inquiry in chambers to ascertain what, if any, damage had been sustained by the company or by the directors in their individual characters in con sequence of the injunction. It appears that, in tionsequenoe of this suit, the proceedings in connec tion with the fixing of a settlement in the Stock Exchange have been delayed a fortnight, but it is probable that the application will come again before the Stock Exchange Committee on Monday next. The market for the shares of the Joint Stock Discount Company (Limited) has once more been thrown down by the announcement of a call of Si. per share (making 161. paid), payable as follows ' viz. : 11. be. by the 31st March, 11 . s s. by the Ist May, 11. ss. by the Ist June, and 11. ss. by the 30th June next. Accompanying the call letter, the di rectors have issued the following unsatisfactory re port, which is to be presented to the fifth ordinary general meeting on Wednesday next, the 31st inst.: 1. The directors regret that the statement of aceounto which it is now their duty to submit does oot exhibit so eaiisfactory a result as they could desire. 2. Owing to tbs untartsument of a firm engaged in railway contracts where securities this company holds to a oonsidembi; extent, the directors , although large profits have been realised during the past half-year. do not consider it desir able to declare a dividend, and after the mast earnest con sideration they have found it advisable, in the interest at the shareholders, to make a call of 51. per share. 3. The amount at credit of profit aid ices (inclusive of 6,5731. 44. 7d. brought forward from last account) is 64,6901. 14s. 7d. After deducting the rebate of interest on bills not due calculated at 7 per cent. per annum, and the current expenses, a balance of 26,169/. ls. 10d. remains. 4. Mr. William Dent and Mr. John Gillespie have been elected to fill two vaunt seats at the board. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the firm referred to above is that of Messrs. Watson, Over end, and Co., whose embarrassments have recently attracted so much attention. Neither in the fore going report, however, nor in the annexed accounts, just issued by the company, is mention made of the amount of its large involvements with that firm. The dissatisfaction excited amongst the shareholders by the present call, and by the highly unsatisfactory position of the concern generally, will doubtless cause full particulars to be elicited at the coming meeting. Rightly viewed, the operations of a dis count company are closely analogous to those of a bank, and it remains to be explained bow the di rectors can have lent themselves thus blindly to the fatal policy of making such huge advances to a single firm : Dr.: To capital-80,000 shares, 101. paid, 900,000/. ; to reserve fend. 30,000/. • to amount d.. on loans, deposit., 3,461,289/. 121. ;to amount carried to proilt nod loss account after making allowance for bad and doubtful debts, 58,1171. 10s. ; total, 4,349.407 1 . 2s. sd.

EAST LONDON BANK (LIMITED.).-(THIS DAL To-day the fourth ordinary general meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern ; Mr. 0. B. Burma, M.P., in the chair. The report of the directors was taken as read. It has already appeared in our columns. The Cflaintuth observed that since the last meeting many new and influential proprietors bad joined the berth. ie. ' circumstance of unusual character had arisen during the half-year. Their progress had been satisfactory during the half-year, and if all the proprietors examined their influence to bring new accounts he had no doubt their future would be most prosperous. They were much indebted to their manager for the zealous and careful attention he had paid to his duties, and they were likewise indebted to the auditors for the careful and cautious examination they bed made of the accounts. Looking at the amount of profit sad the large rate at which the rebate was calculated, some shareholders might think they might have paid • higher dividend, bet the watchword of the direetors WAS stability and Progress, not Fatima MOM' parried with risk. He hoped the time was not distant when they would pay a higher dividend than 5 per cent.. and he had no doubt that ultimately they would become one of the first banking esta blishments in London. lost year the current accounts were 346,0001., now they amounted to 422.0001. ; this, he submitted, showed progress, and an increased degree of public confidence. The number of customers was increasing every day, and he believed that during the past year they could show new account' for every day, while, on the other hand he believed they had not lost a dozen accounts since the Bank first opened. (Hear, hear.) This was gratifying in another reopect, as showing the courtesy and attention paid by the manager and the staff to their customers. They ware much indebted to the manager, Mr. Latter, through whose ears they had, although discounting between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,0001. from the beginaisg mustained only very trifling looses— iodeed he believed that the whole extent of their losses during the past half-year had been under 5001. The new offices in Cornhill, which were rapidly approaching coin pletioe, were in every respect suitable to the requirements of the bank, and no doubt when they got settled there they would experience • considerable accession of business. After reigning to the vacancies in the direction, and men tioning the names of the two candidates, one for election, the other for re-election, he moved the adoption of the re port. Ma C. CAPPER seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax was then declared. Fifty guineas were voted to the auditors for their part services. Mr. Polly was re elected • director, and Mr. Andrew Wilson was elected a member of the board. The auditors were re-elected. Thanks were voted to Hr. Latter, the general renewer, to the nib-manager, secretary and other onions of the estab lishment, and the weal compliment to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. NATIONAL BANI.-(THIS DAY.) - - The annual meeting of proprietors was held at 1 o'clock, at the Bask, 13, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. K. M`Bitsga in the chair. The report said—ln July last the directors submitted to the proprietors their report for the half-year ending the :10th June ; their present statement, nevertheless, incor porated the profit and loss account for the two half-years of 1863, agreeably with the precedent heretofore observed. The dividends and extra dividends payable for the year 1865 had been declared at the same rates as those paid for 1864, but the augmentation of the capital within the period of 1864 and 1865 hal increased the total amounts payable under those heads. (The accounts were then g.veo.) Since the accounts were made up, continued the report, a dividend at the rate of 8 par cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the bank, and ao extra dividend of 16s. per share, together 21. a share, had been declared on the 50,000 shims which constitute dthe company's capital, and the same were now payable at the head *face and branches of the company. The dividend and extra dividend now payable for the half. year ending 31st December, 1865, amounted together to 100,0001. The net profits for the half-year just closed, exceeded that amount by 21,7861. 7s. 10d., and the sur plus of profits over dividends payable for the year 1865, and included in the rest amounted to the sum of 42,8691. 13e. The rest, therefore, after the transfer therefrom of 300,0001., representing 10,000 bonus shares prevented to the proprietors in August last, and 100,0001. for the divi dends and extra dividends now declared, would stead at 456,0531. 16s. Bd. These results were quite equal to any which the directors had hoped thus eirly to realise, and in their opinion they satisfactorily attested the 'madness of the calculations on which the reso lutions to augment the capital of the bank were founded. The business of the bank, although conducted with great math" continues to increase in every profitable depar . t. mink and Dotwithstandieg certain disturbing cuss in Ireland, the deposits of the bank there, as well as its advances to traders and aviculturists to that country, ex ceeded at the close of the year just ended, the amounts earrent at any corresponding date since the foundation of the bank in 1835. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, observed on the increase of he business of the bank as compared with former years. The bank bad given a greater amount of accommodation than any other bank of issue ; and considering their high posi tion, that was a source of pride to the directors. Fanelli= bad had very little etract on the operations of the bask—(cheers)—which had not for a moment abstained from giving legitimate assistance when required. At no period sloes the bank was established bad the good faith sod confidence of their customers been more strongly evinced. Sir RALPH HOWARD seconded the motion, which was adopted without any discussion. Be. fid.

It recom mended, in addition to the be. per share paid in July last., the distribution of sa. per share for in terest, and 20s. per share bonus.
