Z,eily Blakely, aged 18 years, was finally examined on a th.,rxe of robbing her mistress, Mrs. Maria Bromley, of the Freemasons' Arms, Courland-grove, Clapham. It appuured that the prisoner was discharged on Friday 1 4rt. Let on account of her impudent conduct. On the fokhAtitAg morning the prose:Attn: missed a velvet jacket (rm.' her wardrobe. She had also missed 9s. in coppers fr , .:a a.irawcr in her bedroom. She suspected the prisoner o: stealing them, and she Mooed her to Walworth by l'''sns of the cabman who drove her away on the day she L . ft her situation. When she paid the fare she gave the "intim feh in coppers. On being taken into custody THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1868. she admitted having the velvet jacket in her box, which was opened, said it was not only taken from it but • gram deem, also belonging to the proweentria, who bed not prevlintely mimed it. Mrs. Bromley informed the magistrate that the prisoner had no occasion to rob her as she had plenty to eat, Vial little work, and a good bed to lie upon. She came to her crying, Wade, that she had not a friend to moist her, and as she looked a respectable ghl ehe consented t 1 .12 and took her without a character. When she d her she turned round upon her and said it " seritial; right for taking her without a character. The magistrate said it was a moat impudent robbery without any execute. Ile committed her to prima for three months with bard labour, and told her that if she played that trick again she would be seat for triaL Jane Nut all, a servant, was also finally examined on a chame of robbing her muter, Mr. John A. Stocken, • stockbroker, Bin fi eld-road, Clpham.rced. In this wee the prisoner was discharged for steeling. After she had left other articles were missed, and some of them were traced to • remits', who WY convicted. Search was made for the prisoner, but she kept out of the way for a long time, but she ultimately gave reelf up, admitting that she bad done wrong, and had taken 41. odd which she had received from her mistress for the supply of milk to the house. The money bad been paid weekly to the pri soner. The magistrite committed her for trial for the emberzle ; nient, at the same time observing that the cases of do ' mettle servants robbing their employers appeared to be on the increase. Kr. Lswis—l decline to eresearamine him. Kr. Harpe r —l shall not do so either. Sir Theme Tleisry—Aßee, yea are not defended; do you isKit to oreerexamine this witness Albs—Yes. Have you 11011.1 me at any of the reroofing , you spate of ? Mullany—No, I have not. Allen—Have you ever in your life to the beat of your knowledge seen me till you saw me in custody ? Mullany—Never . Kr. Giffard—Now, sir, I propose that the depositions be read over as against those prisoners who were not in custody at the commencement. I shall then ask yon for mally to remand the prisoners for the attendance of those witnesses not now present, but that is the whole of the evidence which I propose to offer for the crown, and upon which I shall ask you to commit them for trial. Sir Thome Henry—Of course all the witnesses must attend to be bound over. They can be remanded to this day week. Mr. Giffard— I shall not withdraw the charge of treason felony against Muliany. Sir Thomas Henry—He ma be remanded on that also. Mr. Burnaby, the chid clerk, then proceeded to read over the depositions. During the reading of the depositions there was a marked difference in the demeanour of the prisoners. O'Neill Fe l'erred an air of gravity and profound attention, but mica sionally smiled at some jocular remark whispered to him by his next neighbour O'Keefe. The latter amused seemed tomself pey but little attention to the reading, buthi by I santinising the countenances of the witnesses and other persona in court, and making observations to his fellow which he appeared to consider highly humorous, t rie r he C en laitighed at them himself with evident relish. Barrett was serions,attentive, and silent. Allenvatehed the reading with nervous anxiety, and frequently offered observations by way of correction, but always erroneously, as in each instance, after the passage being read over again, it was found that the deposition was correct, and that, with all his attention, he had not rightly he ard what was read. The other three men were attentive ; but in very different I ways. William Desmond, with his head slightly on one side, kept a cunningly watchful eye on the witnesses ; Timothy Desmond regerded them withtrem ulous • fixed sad mslig neat scowl ; while Kng li sh, the a followed the chief clerk ward by word , and seem=a7l; conscious of the presence , of magistrate, witeesue, or auditors. Anne Justice (who, in consideration of her deli's!. state of health, was allowed to remain sead) was quiet and attentive, but scarcely so intent as som e of the men. Upon the evidence of the witness Barely, the landlord of the Temperance-hall, being read over, the primmer O'Keefe a•ked him if the occasions when he (O'Keefe) bad been at the ball, were not on Sunday evenings when lectures on temperance were given by teetotallers. He replied that it was so. O'Keefe—Did you not usually have temperance meetings on the Sundaes ? Witness—Yes, mostly every Sunday. The evidence of all the witnesses present having been read over, Mr. Pollard (of the Treasury solicitor's office), said be hod made • list of those who were not in attendance, and should take care that they should be in attendance at the next examination. The prisoners were then remanded. LONDON, DBIGH THIS TON, AND SOUTH COAST. ( DAY.) This afternoon the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at the International Hotel, Mr. tutu, M.P., in the chair. The room in which the meeting was held was crowded in every part. The report, which has already been published, having been taken as read, The QUITMAN, in moving its adoption, said that the report entered so very fully into the position that it would only be wasting time to go over the same points. When he left the Brighton Company, some 12 years ago, it was in • safe and sound position. There was • fair 4.) or 5 per cent. dividend earned on the whole capital. This being so it took him by surprise to see the state into which the company had fallen in the interim. It took him six months before he could realise the loss that bad been sustained. To 8,000,00 W. capital which existed when he left another 8,000,000/. had been added, and upon that addition they re not earning a penny dividend. They were behind we hand by lao,oool. a year in receipts for the payment of even the preference dividends. In looking to the causes of this change, some of them were general and owing to recent railway legislation. If this had been the case of a private individual the cause of the disaster would not be far to seek for the man who could allow his property to get into such • position, must be regarded as either a fool or a knave. (Hear, hear.) There had been gross naiimanagement no doubt, but the Brighton Company was no exception in this re spect, and he must say that in investigating their affairs he found nothing to justify any suspicion of the personal honour of the old board of directors. The fact was that pailiament had given a qualified monopoly to railway companies at first, and afterwardaexpesed them to competition. Besides this they had too much of ama t eur management. Railway management re quired great experience, great attention, and great intelligence, and these qualities were not always to be bad . (Hear, hear.) With regard to the future there was only one way of safety, and that was to do exactly the opposite of what they had been doing. They must close the capital account. (Hear, hear.) This was indispensable, and in fact • aeoemity, now. They must pay their yearly expenses out of the revenue of the year. If they closed the capital account they must look to the working expenses. Large sums of money had been charged to capital amount which should be charged to revenue. The chairman next alluded to the amalgamation with the South Eastern, and proceeded to meet the objection that the basis of the amalgamation was unfair to the Brighton Company. It was assumed that the beats of arrangement was in the proportion of 45 to 5 but that was a mistake. Ile proceeded to show that the proportion would be about 47) of the Brighton to 52g of the South BIAKIL (Hear, hear.) [The meeting was proceeding when our report left.)

The English funds are fiat to-day, and have de dined per cent., owing to further (speculative I realisations, which have been chiefly induced by the withdrawals of gold from the Bank for the Continent. Some of the foreign bonds show a further reaction, but home rail way stocks are firm, and have improved in several cans. Metropolitan is in prominent re- quest, and has been dealt in at 109 t, being 2 per cent. better than the closing price of yesterday. The advance has been caused by the publication of the circular from the directors, announcing their intention to appeal against the Vice-Chan cellor's recent decision, and the proposed payment of an interim dividend for the half-year at the rate of per cent. per annum. A slight reaction, however, has since occurred, upon a renewal of sales for a fall. London and South Western is 2 per cent. higher, the dividend just declared being considered very satisfactory.

BOW.STREET.—(THIS DAY.) James Clancy was brought up on remandbefore Sir Thomas Henry, on the charge of attempting to murder Sergeant Chowne and Constable Chamberlain. Mr. Poland, who conducted the prosecution, observed that the remand was merely formal, the priaoaer having been virtually committed on the last occasion. Sir Thomas Henry—Quite so. Now, prisoner, I called on you at the last hearing to say whether you wished to make any statement or say anything in defence. Do you wish to say anything now ? The prisoner —No, sir. I don't wish to say anything at present. Sir Thomas Henry—Then you are now committed for trial on three charges of shooting at Sergeant Chowne and Constable Chamberlain, with intent to murder them. A clerk from the office of Mr. Willis applied for an order for the police to deliver up to the prisoner's father some papers belonging to him which had been found in his possession. Sir Thomas Henry—lf they bays no bearing on these charges, you may make the application to the solicitors to , the Treasury. lie was then committed, and Sir Thomas Henry pro eeeded with the case of the Fenian prisoners. THE FENIAN PROSECUTIONS.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Poland, instructed by the solicitors to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoners were defended by the same solicitors as on former occasions. A rumour had been spread to the effect that English had followed the example of Mullany by becoming an approver, and that on this occasion he would appear, not in the dock, but in the witness box. This, however, was not the cm. Upon the removal of Clancy the eight prisoners were brought into court and placed at the her in the following order :—James O'Neill, John O'Keefe, Michael Barrett, Jeremiah Allen, William Desmond, Timothy Desmond, Nicholas English, Anne Justice. Mr. Giffard proceeded with the examination of wit nesses. Dr. William Codling, professor of chemistry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, said—l received from Inspector Thomson some staves of a barrel, end I examined them. I found on one of the staves • deposit, which I scraped off, it contained much sulphate of potash, the principal product of the explosion of gunpowder. I found that tho interior of the staves had been split or broken in several places, mid on tearing off the split portion I found under neath it small portions of unexploded gunpowder, wbioh I examined and exploded. It was evidently a cask that bad been treed to store paraffin or petroleum oil. The cask bed the appearance of having been burst by the explosion of gunpowder. I returned the staves after examination to Inspector Thomson. Bra. Jane Kepple, wife of Henry Kepple, Brick-street, Park-lane, • tsilor—l have worked for Mr. Mullany for some time—nearly two years. I know that the prisoners Mr. English and Mr. Jackson (Barrett) were acquainted with Mallany. I have also seen Wm. Desmond once. I re member seeing Jackson about • month or five weeks at Mullany's house before the explosion. He used to be there five or six times a week sometimes. He would stop two or three hours, sometimes not so long. I used to be in the front room, namely, the workshop. There are four rooms all on one floor. There is • back way into the living-room from • door on the stairs. When I saw Jackson he bad whiskers on the side of his face and none on the chin. The whiskers went rather long. They went below the level of the chin. I last saw Jack son with bit whiskers, the same week, only before the explosion. I saw him the same night of the explosion. Ha was then dressed differently, and his whiskers were off. I saw him at the corner of Sherwood-street and Brewer-street, near the Webb storm He was with Mul lany. I went into the Welsh stores with them and had a glue of brandy and water. I did not recognise Jackenn at first. I did not ask the cause of his shaving. I saw Jackson pm down Sherwood-Meet on Saturday, the day after the explosion, and that was the st time I saw him till he was in custody. Before I le ft work on the night of the explosion. I was in the work room, I did not go into the living room at the back. I remember another man coming into the work room. He had his ear cut and was bleeding. This was about five to half-past five. He came into the front room from the back room. The boy Morris was in the shop working. I remember his getting up and fetching en iron. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l have never seen the prisoner O'Neill at Mullany's. I was not taken anywhere to see Barrett. By Mr. Harper—There is no alteration in Desmond. I only saw him once at Mullany's. William Browning, Bowling-greetulane, Clerkenwell, shoemaker—On the day of the explosion, the Blelt Dee., I was at home at work, In the afternoon I noticed three men near my shop between 3 and 4 o'clock—about half past 3, or a little later. My attention was called by a man saying, " There goes three Fenian." After they bad passed my shop once they returned in the direction of the prison. They were conversing together. Some five minutes after that the explosion took place. My shop is about 30 yards from the plane where the explosion took place, and they went about 50 yards in the other direc tion. I should soy the prisoner, Timothy Desmond, is one of them. On the Tuesday previous to the blowing upon Friday, before sitting down to work, I saw • man in the street leaning against my other window, and looking up and down Rosioman.street and other stre e ts . He was look. leg at his portemonnaie and at hie memoranda, apparently to pad the time. I thought he was a detective, and I notice d him because there was to have been • robbery at my shop that day. I should say Barrett was the man. James Vaughan, re-called—l have been taken to Mil bank prison to see if I could identify any of the prisoners. I identified this one (pointing to Barrett). I bad seen him on one occasion at Cavanagh's, in Poland-street, in company with English. I deo saw him about four or fi ve days a fterwards rn Gerrard-street, Soho, and the next time wall about four or five days after tha t t in• Regent. street. His whiskers were long, and corning o a point, Dundreare fashion. He wore • mousteehe, but him chin was cleanly shaved. I did not know his n ame. Peter M'Clean—l live at 3, Coburg-street, Chicken. well, and am a shoemaker. My house is five doors from the prison. I recognise the prisoner Allen from having seen him opposite my shop on the day of the explosion or the day before. He was walking about slowly, as if looking out for something. There were three or four others with him, but none of the other prisoners that I see hers present, at lend not that I ean reeognim. Crod-examined by Allen—l Medd think it was about mid-dey, I should say from 12 to 2. By Mr. Harper—l paid as much attention to the others as I did to Allen. bat I don't know either of the prisoners. Inspestor Thomson (of the detective force) proved that h u e r eiv bti at: a d o cleli s tr i el f ;lll l6 ir D c t Ocrling tte ti, the same condition ea when he received them. He oleo produced the small white leather ball which be had re ceived from the warder Knowles, as mentioned by that tritium, and an India - rubber ball which he had received from the witness Cape. Patrick Mall any was then recalled, and Mr. Gi ff ord said sir, I would not mussed that the cromexemt tion of Mundy should be postponed, because I wished that the depose might ise dat before the peed Tory in any am. But sow, as he as here mil the Trimmers' solicitors have bad amp le time to amsider sad consult, I tender him for orom-exammition. BETTING IN LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)
