Captain Henry Hansen, of the Norwegian ship North M. lying in the Commercial Docks, Rotberhithe, appeared in discharge of hie bail, charged with steeling 5.31. in gold, sad a 51.

Mr. Traill, on hearing this, discharged the prisoner, ob. arcing that if the depositions were sent to the session, the trod jury would throw oat the bill. lir. Pulling said there were numerous gentlemen who we in court, having attended to speak to the character of the prisoner, who then left the dock accompanied by his triads. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM CARMAR THEN GAOL. On Thursday morning the governor and officials were in a state of great consternation at finding that, at an early hour, a daring escape from the county gaol, in Car marthen, had been made by two unconvicted felons, namely Charles Williams, committed for trial at the next assizes, on there distinct charges of burglary, and John Reed, who would be arraigned at the quarter enesions to day, at Liao dila, ea a charge of housebreaking, had he not managed to make his exist from the prison in so unexpected a manner. The proper name of Williams. who is well known as the modern "Jack Sheppard" is Owen Prichard ; he is now on ticket of leave, having been transported from Ruthin. He has already broken out of gaol twice, once out of • lock up house, and is a notorious character. Reed is of Irish ex ' traction, bora in Scotland, but nothing is known of him. In describing the plan of the escape we may mention that the unconvicted felons are imprisoned in the portion of the prison termed the Trebanda, • building two stories high, in which are several cells, four being on the top story, and having a large paved yard surrounded with high atone walls. and surmounted with chevaux de .1 rise in front. In two of these cells, which by the way was originally one cell, but was some years since divided into two, by a single brick partiticto, were confined the two prisoners, and at half-past 1 o'clock on Thursday morning the warder visited them, sad found everything all right. After this, opera tions must have commenced by Reed tearing down some of the brickwork of the partition, which enabled him to get into Williams's cell adjoining. They then, it appears, raised a part of the flooring, which was also of brick, close to the flue, running up from the room beneath, designated the "Day Room," when prisoners are placed at periods of the day, sod then in that hole made an opening into the chimney ►ith the aid of • small piece of oak firewood, which they had become possessed of. This wall was sup- Poosd to be thoroughly secure, no one ever dre►ming that it wee only • single brick thick. The work, though cunningly and effectually performed, was exceedingly clumsy, and such as might be effected by a piece of tough wood, used as a sort of wedge to remove the brickwork. The prisoners then forced their bodies through the hole into the chimney and descended into the d►y room, which was not secured. Raving got to terra firma the nextthing was to get over the walls, and the way in which this feat was accomplished was as follows : they tore their bed ticks into strong shreds, and joined them tightly together with towels and • shirt until they had two ropes, each about 23 feet long ; to the end of each they secured • pillow case half filled with calm as purchase for them to scale the walla. Having flung one of these ropes over the wall of the Trebanda, the bag of calm being safely en tangled in the rhevaux de frite, they ascended and lot down safely the other side in the same manner. They then stealthily crept past the governor's house, and flung the other rope over the comparatively low wall of the Castle Green, which they easily got over ; and thus effected their escape. All this was done between half-past 1 and 5 a.m., and the ingenuity employed was mar vellous, although on an inspection, the means of escape Proved simple in the extreme. The Trebanda is supposed to have been built in 1790, and no one knew but the pri soners, who managed to find it out, that the tines were only one brick in thicknese. —Carmarthen Journal, SAT) DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.—Seldom ban it been our painful task to report an accident more generally deplored throughout oar neighbourhood than that which has just deprived the old and respectable Gordon family, of Sheepbridge, of the happiness peculiar to the new year by a severe calamity involving the life of one of it. members. Ou Friday evening last Miss Anne Au gusta Gordon retired to her room, and in a brief apace of time loud shrinks were heard from her apartment. It was soon discovered that the young lady's ' dress had taken fire, sod. despite the efforts of her sisters std brother, was entirely consumed, not even her boots weeping. while every portion of her body was more or less burnt, with the exception of her chest and face. Dr. John son was immediately in attendance, but notwithstanding medical aid, she died about 4 o'clock next morning. Miss lubella and Miu Letitia Gordon have sustained several hares in their efforts to relieve the deceased Young lady, but we are glad to know the injuries are not serious.— Nerry Telegraph.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OP A YOUNG WOMAN IN THE THAMES. INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Town of Ramsgate Tavern, WW ping, touching the death of Sophia Griffith; aged 2i year; the • Thames. young Welsh woman, who was found drowned is _ _ Ellen Bares, • married woman, residing at No. 2, Tower street, Westminster-road, said that the deceased had lodged at her hones for five nights. She was • domestic servant out of place. She had bees rattier pert to her nibble's, and she true dismismed, her mistime refusing to give her • character. The latter fact appeared to distress her mind, and on Tuesday, the sth of last month, she said she would remain out vary late that night, as she intended to go to the play. She mid she would return to witssee's hones, bat ohs never came back. Anne Griffiths, sister of deceased, said that her sister com plained to her that her mistress gave her too ranch work to do during the 14 months that she was at her place. She was a very sharp tempered young woman, but she became very when her mistress refused to give her a character. She had written to a sister living at Folkestone, bidding her "Good bye." John 111larthy, • waterman, proved finding the dead body I of the deceased bloating in the Thames off the entrance of the London Docks on Thursday last. She was fully dressed, with the exception of her bonnet. She had evidently been over • month in the water. The Coroner said that as so meson had seen the de ceased leap into the water the jury should return an open verdict. 41. o;rdiet of " Found drowned in the Thames" was then noordod. THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE COLLIERS. __.__ BARNSLEY, Fam Ay Evmisc. In addition to the Wombwell' Main Colliery, as the first to depart from the resolution come to by the Masters' Anonation, to restrict the advance of five per amt. to May next, the Oaks has given way, and the imams have agreed to give the five per cent. advance to all men worlOng in and about the Won together with weekly wages. Stich being the case, there appears no reason why the slime course should not be carried out at the other collieries at present working on the " restrictive" system. Most of the collieries , however—and amongst them some of the largest in the district—still adhere to the resolution cone to by the Coalownsis' Association, and have refused to concede the five per cent. for a longer period than May, or to pay wages weekly. In the district there are about seventeen collieries not connected with the Masters' Association, where all the men are working fall time, having had their wages paid weekly, and increased by five per osnt. Amongst those working on the restric tive system, are the Edmonds and the Swarths Main, Whams:stiffs Silkstooe (three pits), Mount Osborne, Ague Main, Thorucliffe (four pits), Stratford Main (Silkstone), Laid Hill, Clerke's Old Silkstone (throe pita), Hut Gawber, High Roy& and Smithy Bridge. With regard to the last named colliery, the mess were to meet the agent. this evening, foe the purpose of endeavouring to come to an agreement to resume full work. At Darnley Main the men continue on atrike, !levies brought out their tools last Saturday. The Messrs. Chulesworth's colliers are working full time, the demands of the men having been comeded. At Royberg Hall, Messrs. Cooper's, and Barfield Main, the men are in a similar position. Some surprise is felt in the district at a few members of the association conceding terms which the main body refuse, as it was understood by the public that a certain course of action had been decided on and agreed to. The sentence of death upon Patrick Welsh at the lad assizes at Leeds, for the murder of • man by stabbing him in the course of a street brawl. has been commuted, on the recommendation of Mr. Justice Shoe, before whom he was tried, to penal servitude for life. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN WOOLWICH ARSENAL,—Inst night Mr. C. F. Carttar, coroner, held an inquest at the Duke of Wellington public house, Woolwich, on the node of the Illegitimate child of Mary Metcalfe, lady's maid I. the family of Colonel Campbell, superintendent of the gun factories in the Royal AreenaL It appeared the Want was found by the housemaid whilst dusting, concealed in a box. On Col. Camp. bell returning home, the fact was communicated to him, and the police were also informed of the affair. Mr. Sherrast, the police divisional surgeon, saw Miss Metcalf, who ad. witted to him that the child was born at 6 o'clock that I morning; that the child was born a month before she expected it, and that she intended to have left her I situation. She also said that the father of the child was • foreman io the Arsenal, aho was instantly dismissed his situatioo, and who had since written to Colonel Campbell promising to marry her. A post mortem examination of the body had been made. No marks of violence were visible, and the medical testimony showed that the child had never breathed. The jury returned • verdict of "still born." THE BRIGANDS Cavz.—Another brigand refuge has been dismvered at Csglimo (Calabria), near the house of an old peasant. This man's premises were searched, but the inmates, consisting of himself, wife, and a young girl, denied all knowledge of the men of whom the royal troops were in search. The officer in command observing, however, that the girl always remained close to a large stone near a door leading into the garden, ordered the soldiers to examine it. This stone, upon being removed, discovered the mouth of a cave, and a discharge of musketry from those con cealed within drew all the detachment to the spot. The brigands within—for such they were—resisted for some time, until driven forth by burning sulphur ap plied to the mouth of the cave. The brigands here captured included the chief Corso and his companion Rosario Mancuso, and the brigands Dsrdano and Troilism. Corea and Trapani°, both guilty of a long list of crimes, including several assassinations, were tried towards the end of December. The former frankly confessed the crimes of which he was accused, while Tra pani), not being able to offer a denial, endeavoured to excuse himself. Soutanes of death was passed upon them, and car ried into execution the following day. The woman Mancuso was condemned to 20 years' hard labour ; Dardano's trial was deferred. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS.

The total receipts of the pest week show a de crease of 114,331/. as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 23rd of December. Dtvonce is INDIANA.—In Indiana, which has witnessed so many of these experiments, the law of divorce is almost as " advanced" as the most radical atfinitarian could desire. The husband or the wife, wishing to be divorced, has only to leave his or her partner in another state, repair to Indiana. re.ide there six months, then swear to an " incompatibility of temper" between him or her self and the said partner, and swear—what are lovers' oaths 7—that the object of the suit is not to form another marriage, and the divorce is at once ordered. Practically, one who desires a divorce goes to Indiana, gives his caw) with a certain fee to a lawyer, and is presented with his decree in seven months from his arrival. la travelling ' through Indiana! have often seen lounging about the hotels and in the fields, reading novels or carrying on flirta. tions with prospective divorcees, these wandering forms of a dead past, waiting to be borne over to the Elysian fields of single-blessedness. In the old settlements of the eastern part of America, "going to Indiana" has as signifi- cant a meaning as " going to Coventry ;" but in the Far West there is little doubt that the Indiana law marks the direction in which the tide of popular sentiment is setting. iodised, now that a divorce dole not, in that region, involve the ruin of the character of either party, it is re markable with what equisnimitv either learns that the other has. io the phrase of the place. "filed a hill." A distinguished politician and senator of Watts, becoming interested in the movement for making Katmai a free state, left his wife and repaired to that territory, intending to return soon. Becoming, however, identified with the struggles of Kansas, the senator stayed away very long. His wife at length demanded his return. He wrote beck that it was impossible to return. His wife waited a little, and then wrote, declaring that, nem he returned by a stated time, she would sue for a divorce. The senator made no reply, but ganglier a glowing account of the patriotic movements in which he bore an important part. The next letter he received was from the elm* of a court is Indiana, informing him that his wife had filed a bill, with another front a lawyer offering to defend him. The senator wrote back so the lawyer as follows " Dear S ir,—Tours to hand. My wife says she will sot stead my long absent*. If I were she I would not stand it either. I shall offer no op positioe to her suit.—Youre, he., —." Two s enator , whim the divorce bad long bees granted. this re. towed to Washington as tbe matte of tbe free state of Kansas, visited his old boom in Indiana, sod toned Ins wife still blooming and handsomer sinvonded hy admirers. With the rest, he visited her from time to time, became tly the aeospied loser, sad wag remarried to her.— =r's 3(oga:int for January. Sh. I Pd.

The transactions in stocks and shares to-day are limited, but the tendency of prices continues rather favourable, consequent upon the easier state of the money market. Consols are unchanged both for money and the account, but a slight rise has occurred in some foreign bonds and English railway stocks. Banking and financial shares remain dull, ani. Loudon Financial show a further fractional decline. In the discount market to-day there is a large increase in the supply of money seeking employment, while the amount of bills on offer is limited. A disposition is therefore shown in some quarters to take the best paper at a fraction below the Bank minimum-8 per cent. The rate for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 4 per cent. Consols are now quoted 86i to Bi, ex div., both for money and for the account (Jan. 9). There is little business in the foreign stock market, but an improvement of / per cent. has occurred in Turkish of 1865, Brazilian scrip, and Mexican. Spanish Passive Bonds, however, have declined 1. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz.: —Greek, 141 to 15 ; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 41i to a ; Spanish Passive, 26a to / ; ditto Certificates, 14 to ; Confederate, 6to 8 ; Brazilian scrip, ) to / prem. ; and Mexican, 221 to I, ex div. United States 5-20 Bonds are in demand and have improved per cent., the present quotation being 641 to I. Erie Railway shares are steady at 561 to 1, and Illinois, 76} to 771. International Financial shares are now quoted 13-16 to 15-16 prem. ; General Credit, 11 to 2 prem. ; London Financial, 31 to 4 prem. ; Impe rial Mercantile, 21 to prem. ; Credit Fonciet and Mobilier of England, 3} to prem., ex all; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 6/ to g prem. The shares of Charles Lafitte and Co. are quoted 2} to 3 prem. ; English and American Bank, i to Ii prem. ; and London Steam Towing, 1} to 2 prem. Tw•o o'Cwt'K. Consols are firmer, at 87/ to , ex div., both for money and the present account (January 9). At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 27c., being sc. lower thin yesterday. No transactions appear to have taken place in the scrip of the New Argentine Loan. There were no bullion transactions at the Bank yesterday. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon have moved in favour of this country, especially as re gards the rates ou Paris and Italy. This is due, of course, to the rise in the value of money here. The improvement, however, is as yet to only a moderate extent. Yesterday afternoon's rates were as follows : Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.2 to 4 ; ditto, 3 days, 11.16 to 4 ; Rotterdam. 3 months, 12.2 to 4 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.50 to 55 ; Hainburr. ma haneo, 3 months, 13.94 to 10 ; Para, 3 days 25.174 to 25 ; ditto, 3 months, 26.50 to 60 ; Frankfort-ce:.the-Maine, 3 months, 1204 to ; Petersburg, per rouble, 3 months, 294 to 30 ; Vienne, eff. flo., 3 mouths, 10.90 to 95 ; Trieste, ditto, 3 months, 10.90 to 95 ; Madrid, 3 months. 464 to 4 ; Cadiz, 3 months, 474 to 4. Leghorn, 3 months, 25.70 to 71; Genoa, 3 months, 25.70 to 75 ; Milan. 3 months, 25.70 to 75 • Nankin, 3 months, 25.70 to 75 • Piterme, 3 months , 25.70 to 75 ; MieliDS. 3 month's, 25.70 to 75; Lisbon, 90days, 514 to 4 ; Oporto, 90 days, tl4 to 4. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the following changes Coin and bullion - Decrease £1,000,000 Bills discounted Government deposits Decrease 2,040.000 Notes in circulation lncrease 2,800,000 Private deposits Advances The decrease in the bullion and increase in the discounts are important, but, as they arise chiefly from government and other payments usual at the turn of the year, it is probable that the French bank would not have made ai.y alteration whatever in its rate of discount bad it not been for the rapid movements by the Bank of England. The Bank of Amsterdam has raised its rate of discount from 6 to 6} per cent. At Paris the rate of discount in the open market is now 41 per cent. ; Vienna, ; Hamburg, t Turin, 61i ; Frankfort, 5# ; Amsterdam, 6i ; Berlin, 7 ; Brussels, 5 ; and St. Petersburg, iii per cent. The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com pany have announced the proposed payment on the 15th inst., the day on which it becomes due, of the first coupon on the consolidated bonds just issued. The usual delay of two days for examination is waived, and the coupon will, therefore, be paid on presentation, this being, we believe, the first instance of the kind on record. The fifth ordinary general meeting of the Joint Stock Discount Company will be held on Wednes day, the 30th inst., when a dividend will be declared. The ordinary general meeting of the London and St. Katharine Dock Company will be held on Friday, the 26th instant, when a dividend will be declared. A half-yearly dividend on the paid-up capital of the South Australian Banking Company to the 30th December, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum (clear of income-tax), will be paid un the 15th instant. The Bank of Otago (Limited), has declared an interim dividend, free of income tax, at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum for the six months ending 30th September la-t, on 81. per share, being the amount of capital called up to the 30th June last. We learn that Mr. Samuel Laing, M.P., having been obliged from ill-health to retire as much as possible from his business engagements, has resigned the chairmanship of the Land Mortgage Bank of India ; and at a meeting of the directors held yesterday, Mr. Henry Nelson, of the firm of I Crawford, Colvin, and Co., has been elec ted chair ' man, and Mr. Peter Northall Laurie, the governor of the Union Bank of London, deputy chairman of the bank. At an adjourned meeting of the Petroleum Company of Western Virginia, held yesterday, the resolutions submitted by the directors at the former meeting, for a voluntary winding-up of the undertaking, were unanimously passed. Under this arrangement, the vendor is to pay all expenses, l and the shareholders in full, with interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum ou the re-transfer to him of the property. Interest at the rate of six percent. per annum on the amount paid up on deposit, allotment, and first call, calculated to the 31st December last, will be paid by the contractors of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway Company on the 15th inst. It is notified that no applicati Ins for the deben tures of the San Paolo (Brazilian) Railway Com pany will be received after this day. The annual sinking fund of 10,0001. sterling, for the redemption of the Montevidean European Six per Cent. Loan, was applied yesterday in the pur chase of 16,0001. Bonds, which will be cancelled by the agents of the loan, Messrs. Maul, M‘Gregor, and Co., and deposited at the Bank of England. A circular has been issued by Messrs. J. J. Ronaldson and Son, of Mincing-lane, which states as follows : W. beg leave to Worm you that Mr. J. J.
