CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The present January mesion of the above wart was sowed n i s il etig ) bef , th e e ,o ißi a lt oo t Ho e s .; the Lad Mayor the Mr. T. tb sic hics, Q. 0., who officiated as deput recorder, Akisratin Alien, and Alderman Dada, A lde rman and Sheriff Gibbons, Kr. Sheriff Piggies, Mr. Under-Sheriff Bawling, Ste. The lust edition of the calendar contains the names of 62 prisoners, 54 males and 8 females. There are two c harges of murder to be disposed of, and also a very serious c h u g! against an Italian, named Ella Fermi, of wounding with intent to murder. The Common Serjeant is big charge to the grand jury stated that though only three weeks bad elapsed since the last session the calendar contained the names of 64 persons for trial, and the governor of Newgate had informed the court that since the calendar bad been printed, ten other permitted been oommitted, making • total of 74 persoes for whiob,oonsidering the short interval wbieb hadelapeed ism the last session was a large number. He was sorry to mid that there were two charges of murder, and he lamented t o s oy that in both cases the parties were the worse for liquor at the time theoffenees were respectively committed. The first of these oases was that of a person named George Eingwood, who was charged with the wilful murder of Grace Ringwood, his wife. It appeared that the prisoner I and the deceased were assembled with others at a public- I house, enjoying some festivities. The deceased was some- what intoxicated, but sober enough to sing and to amuse the company. The prisoner boasted of having made a con tract for some work, when his wife interposed an d told him that was not the place to talk of business matters. A quarrel ensued, in the course of which the deceased threw a bottle at him but by stoop ing he avoided the missile. The prisoner who was much provoked, in a moment drew a knife and with it stabbed his wife in the throat, causing a wound from the attracts of which she very speedily died. This was unquestionably =unlawful homicide, which would prima facie be wilful murder, and it would be well for the greed jury t o find the bill and leave the question to be madders& by a petty jury in the court The next case was that of a man named George Crane, charged with the murder of a female of the name of Carr with whom he bad cohabited. In this case it appeared that the prisoner came home about 11 o'clock and found the women in bed the worse for drink. In a short time screams were heard from the woman, and on the inmates going to see what was the matter, heard her cry out, " George, do not kick me." It was found that she was seriously injured and died on the following day. On the body being examined by a surgeon it was found to be one mess of bruises of the most lamentable character. The intestines were matted together and one of thesis ruptured by a kick. In this case he (the Common Serjeant) recommended the grand jury to find a true bill, and then send the matter for further inves tigation by the court. There was another charge against a man foe feloniously assaulting • child which had been bons to him by a woman with whom he cohabited, with in tent to kill and murder it. The woman went out, leaving the baby in charge of the prisoner, and on her return she found the baby screaming, seriously injured, and with its skull fractured ,• and it would be found that the prisoner had made we of expressioes which indicated his intentions to get rid of the infant This was a case which ought not to be decided in the grand jury-room, but ought to be sent to be disposed of by the tribunal of the court. After a few general remarks by the Common Serjcant, the grand jury retired to their room to commence their labours. THI CHARM OP DZFRAUDING THZ SOUTH LASTS= RAIL WAY COM PANT. George Loresby Worth, 46, a person of gentlemanly ap parent., was placed at the bar to receive judgment. The prisoner, it will be recollected, was convicted at the November session of endeavouring to obtain money from the South• Eastern Railway Company by pretending that he bad sustained injury by the Staplehurst incident The prisoner was sentenced to 12 months' bard labcar, THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE CHARGE Of VORGERT AGAINST • SURGEON. Mr. John Pcrottinan, a surgeon, of Redruth, was this morning brought up for further examination upon the charge of forging the transfer of certain shares in miner in Cornwall. _ _ Wontner appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. G. Lewis fee the prisoner. It will be remembered that on the last occasion some haul evidenoe was gone into with • view of showing that the prisoner had been dealing with some shares in • mine mild the Halleobeagle Mine, near Redruth, and that he had signed transfer of these shares, which were represented to be forgeries. At the opening of the proceedings Kr. Wootur stated that he did not propose to-day to adduce further evidence in suppo►t of the charge on which the prisoner stood remanded, but to go into a fresh charge. The liming of this will occupy several hours. CLERIOEN WELL. DARING GAROTTE AND HIGHWAY ROBBIRT. Mary Williams. aged 25, and Obadiah Deeley, aged 28, jeweller, were charged with stealing a watch and chain from the person of lir. John Robinson, at Baron-street, Pentair:Me, under the following circumstances : The prisoners were seen loitering about Upper and High-streets, Isliegton, by Police-sergeant William Scott, 44 N, who suspected them and watched. He saw them separate, and thee the female spoke to the prosecutor, sad they went to a public-house and had something to drink. When they left, the prosecutor and the woman walked ashort dletanoe, and she then said she must go, and asked shot time it was. The prosecutor took out his watch, on which the female prisoner watched away the watch, and tan off across the road. The prosecutor took hold of her, cc which the male prisoner went behind him, pot his arms rotted the prosecutor's neck, bugged him, and all fell to the ground. Sergeant Scott ran up and pulled the male Prisoner off the prosecutor, who at that time IFAJV leering from the effects of the violence. Scott took both the prisoners into custody with assistance, and at that time the prosecutor's watch was dropped on the pavement and picked up by the police. On the way to and at the police eta' ion both prisoners denied all knowledge of each other, but after they had been locked up the female told the constable to ask the man for her keys, as she had a child locked op in her room. The keys had been taken from the man. and on the constable goieg to the address gives it was found that the man and woman had been living there as man and wife, and that nothing wee known against them. From the adroit manner in which the robbery bad been committed the calico suspected that this wu not the first offence the prisoners had been guilty of, and asked for a remand to enable them to see what was known of them. _ _ The prisoners said they should make no defence at present. The magistrate said great praise was doe to the police sergeant, and committed the prisoners for trial, but they •ill be brought up again for the completion of the depo- sitions. The prismsera said it was of no use rematmlieg them, as this was their first offence sad they were respectable penooL Poe Qr. al o. 11 swan 10 to 27 al 19 to la 10 Per Qr. OM. S.

The dividend will be payable on and after the sth proximo to the proprietors at present on the register, at Messrs. Barnette, H oar,., end Co. in London, or at either of the branches of the brink n Ireland. The warrants will be forwarded by post on the 3rd proximo." The Cliatilltatif, in moving the adopt ion of the report, observed that during the last six mont hs the bank bad made good progress. The deposits had increased during that pe riod to the extent of 100,0C3/., showing the confidence of the Trish people, and the time was not far distant when the proprietors might look for a much better return. The bank was now becoming self-supporting from its own proper business. During the last half-year the rate of interest was only a trifle over 5 per cent , and therefore the board meat have used the money entrusted to them exceedingly well. The cattle plague in Ireland would have been a serious disaster ; but happily it had not yet reached that country. The branches generally bad yielded good resulta, and the bank, as a whole, was in a favourable and sound condition. Mr. Eva ns (a director ) seconded the motion. In reply to question/1, The CHAIRMAN stated that no to bad been sustained at the Bray branch, and that the new bank in Dublin would be opened in July.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving their adoption, commenced by allediag to the iverease in the capital account by 500,000/. This Increase would go on gradually as they opened the pew lines. The tint charge on the concern would be that for the ' South London line, which would no doubt contribute coo , siderably to revenue. During the last half-year 8,0001. of debenture stock had been taken up at 4 per cent., and the highest rate paid was 4i per cent. for 68,000/., showing that the credit of the company was as good as that of any other in the country. Time increase of revenue nearly equalled the anticipations of the director, amounting to 67,0001. for the year 1865, and the augmentation in the first four weeks of this year was 7,4121. The whole of the 117 stations all indicated a continued increase. A line had lately been opened from Horsham to Guildfonl, and there never was a line constructed at so moderate a rate ; 137,0001. being the total amount paid the contractor for land and everything else. This import connection with the west of England must add considerably to their income. As regarded the charges of want of punctually, residing as he did for six months of the year at • • hton, and coming to London every day, he bad no hesitation in saying that there was no more punctual line in the country. The occasional delays were caused by impeding trains belonging to the South-Eastern Company. (Hear, hear.) Very Noon, however, that company's traffic would be taken off the nee, and other causes of delay would be removed. The second line to Brishton vrould,m oreover, be finished within three months.

"requesting President Johnson to withdraw the American minister from London, and declare non utercourse with England" has excited little attention, because it had been " tabled " i.c., withdrawn. Attention is directed to the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, which Lab just commenced. Consols have declined per cent., and some of the foreign secu rities to I. British railways are rather arm, and American have ri: eu upon the *dykes from New York. There is a fair demand for money to-day, and the rate for choice bills is firm, at to 71 per cent. Con Pols are quoted 861 to for money, and 861 to 87 for the account (February 8). The foreign stuck market is dull, and the amount of business limited. Italian Bonds have declined per cent., and Mexican, Spanish Passive, and Certificates, The quotations are as follows : —Greek, 134 to 14 ; Italian, 614 to 62 ; Mexican, 20i to ; Bpanisli Passive, 35i to 4 ; ditto Certifi cates, 134 to ; Turkish, 1886, 39 to ; Brazilian scrip, to prem. ; Egyptian scrip, t toll prem. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved per cent., and Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares, 2. The present quotations are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 662 to 2 ; Erie Railway shares, 552 to 56; and Illinois Central, 742 to 75. International Financial shares are now quoted is to prem. being firmer ; General Credit, ll to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 12 to; prem. ; Imperial Mercantile, 12 to 2 prem. ; Credit Fonder and Mo biller, 3:g to # prem. ; and Overend, Gurney, and I Company, 41 to ;.-) prem. London Steam Towing shares are now quoted 12 to 2 prem.; Charles Laffitte and Co., 24 to f prem.; and Galatz Candle, to 4 prem. It appears that, while the allotment to the or dinary class of applicants for the scrip of the new Egyptian Government Railway Loan has been subjected to a certain reduction, the subscribers for small amounts, who are unusuaally numerous, and who doubtless, as a rule, want the stock for investment, have mostly received in full. This is iu accordance with the practice generally adopted amongst French capitalists and others conversant with the best modes of carrying out an affair of this nature. The balance of 10 per cent. due on account of the first instalment, and making 15 per cent. paid, is to be paid by Thurs day next, the Ist February, and as many sub scribers will doubtless be induced by the offer of 8 per cent. discount to pay up in full, it is possible that some temporary effect may be produced upon the money market. The half-monthly settlement in shares and foreign stocks begin to-day (" continuation day"), and end on Wednesday. There was an incressed demand on Saturday for silver for the East, and the price for bars was firm at ss. 11d. per ounce. In addition to the advance in the exchange at Bombay, telegrams from Calcutta quote the rate there at 2s. 2d., or fici. above the quotation last received. The remittances of silver to Calcutta will therefore probably increase some what, and those to Bombay by the next packets are expected to be heavy, a large amount having already been purchased. The Bank of Bombay, at its last half-yearly meeting, declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, or 40 rupees per share. It is notified that the transfer books of the Uni versal Marine Insurance Company (Limited) will be closed from the 29th inst. till the 9th Feb. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 6th inst. were 20,5661. sterling, being 1,8611. less than in the cor responding week of last year. Vice-Chancellor Kindersley has just appointed Mr. W. J. IVhite, public accountant, official liqui dator of the Steam Biscuit and Flour Company (Limited). Messrs. Sole, Turner, and Turner are the solicitors. The dividend due the let February on Guate mala Consolidated Bonds, is announced for pay ment by Messrs. Isaac and Samuel.

A DREADFUL CALCULATION. —ln the course of a speech delivered at the Burns Club annual dinner at Edin burgh, on Thursday evening, I rofessor Masson, who pro posed the toast "The Poets of Scotland," said he had made a calculation that probably in the British Islands at the present moment there are 200,000 people writing verses 'I stick to 200,000 exactly. I cannot give you the dots on which I make my calculations, but they satisfied myself at the moment when I made it. And they are not only making verses, but I assure you making verses which would have attained a reputation hissl they been written in the last century. The quantity of verses which is being produced in Engtiela and Irish vicarages, in Scotch manses, and in all sorts of places, is utterly enormous. I do not think it is any objection to literature that it is becoming voluminous, and that its practitioners are becoming numerous. Perhaps in some future time the distinction of a man will be, and he will be reimted out on the streets as a distinguished man, that he has not written a book." MR.
