Tilt: CLERK ENWELL_ OUTRAGE. ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the s etaers by the late explosion at the Clericenwell House a IYt ention, who had died at the Royal Free Hospital, Gale's-inmread, was held this morning by Dr. Lankester. Ti,r name of Humphry Evans, aged 67, was now ad led to that of the little girl, Martha Thompson, aged 10, upon shoal the inquest was originally opened. In opening the proceedings the Coroner Raid that cider some circumstances where persons were sus . of crime the Coroner requested the Secre tay of State to allow such persons to be brought Noire his court. He did not know whether the Home Nirct.try would grant such an application on the present cs oioi if it were made—which it bad not been. It would le f. r the jury to say whether they wished the prisoners who i 3 been apprehended to be brought before them. He I..i„ht also mention that the court was open to the repre sv ' dative of any of the accused if they chose to attend. The foreman said the jury considered that in the present state of public excitement it was unnecessary for the pri soners to be brought before the coroner. At the same time they wished to hear all possible evidence that could t.e given either for or against the prisoners. William Evans gave evidence as to the death of his father, Humphry Evans, who died on Christmas morn ing at the Gray's-iun-road hospital. The deceased was a retired linendraper, who lived at 3a, Corporation-lane. At the time of the explosion he was sitting with bis back to the window, and received most severe injuries. A large quantity of glass was driven into his back. His wife died in St. Bartholomew's Hospital a few days before him, and a daughter was now in hospital recovering from injuries received from the explosion. Dr. Hill, horse-surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital, described the wounds from which the deceased had suf fered, showing that death had resulted from them. Police-sergeant Whiting, who was present when the deceased was taken onset the ruins, said a beam of wood had fallen on his back, and it was with difficulty he was taken out. The house in which the deceased lived was thickly inhabited, and was the most injured by the explo sion. At the time there were thirteen persons in the house. All were injured, and four of them were amongst the six who had died. Dr. Hill, who at the last inquiry, was requested to make a post mortem examination in the case of Martha Thomp son, now detailed the results of hie investigations. The Coroner, referring to a letter written by Dr. Jeaffre. son, of the Royal Free Hospital, doubting whether the explosion was caused by gunpowder, asked the witness whether he, like that gentleman, had smelt anything in the nature of petroleum? Dr. Hill said he had not, and was not aware that any other medical gentleman had. In fact, the persons who had died at the Royal Free Hospital were too far away from the barrel when it was fired to afford any evidence in their persons of the explosive substance employed. l'oliceman Sutton repeated the evidence he had given before the magistrates and also before the other coroner. Its substance was that while carrying out orders he had received to watch all persons coming to the House of Detention to visit Burke and Casey, he noticed Ann Justice and Jeremiah Allen at the corner of St. James'- walk shortly before 12 on the day of the explosion. The woman went into the House of Detention ; came out again shortly; rejoined Allen ; walked up and down, looking towards Roseman-street, and conversed again with Allen until they were joined by Desmond, who with them ap peared to be waiting for some one. A fourth person (the man who is supposed to have fired the fusee), came along, pushed accidentally against him, begged his pardon, asked a question as to the locality, was told by the witness that he was a stranger, and could not direct him, and then walked away. Receiving instructions from another con stable to watch Desmond and the other man, who had last arrived, witness followed the former to the corner of Bowling-green-lace, and watched him down Corporation-lane. He had then to go to the corner of Bowling-green-lane to look down Corporation-lane, and saw Desmond bearing a truck upon which there was a barrel. In turning round to look for the woman he missed Desmond altogether, and was hurrying back to Corporation-lane to we if he was there when the explosion took place, and he was thrown upon his back. Recovering himself he made his way into Short's-buildings az.d met another policeman named Ranger. They saw Allen and Ann Justice running away at the end of the street and pursued them. Witness captured the woman, and Ranger the man. While taking the prisoner to the House of Detention witness met Des mond, and held him with his right hand until he procured assistance from some passers by. Allen and Desmond at the time of the capture were wearing ordinary high black hats, but subsequently Desmond was found wearing a white hat, known as • " billycock." In cress-examination, the witness said there were three extra policemen on duty around the House of Detention during the Friday in question, but at the time of the ex plosion one of them was gone away. As to the barrel, he saw nothing in it to arouse his auspicious, and, if he thought anything at all about it, he considered it to be • barrel of beer for one of the houses opposite. As far as he could see, it was half on the edge of the pavement and half off, and it was as nearly es possible opposite the house where the deceased lived. Henry Bird, • dairyman, repeated his story as to the cask. He was delivering his milk in Corporation-lane when he saw three men dragging • truck from the direction of Bowling-green-lane, saw them back the truck, and the barrel placed upon the pave ment and covered with • material resembling tarpaulin. One man wheeled the track away in the direction of Bowling-green-lane, and meanwhile another turned round the cask, sad shifted it, so that one end was touching the prison wall. This man went away, and another "of gentlemanly appearance." who was standing • few yards elf on the same pavement as that upon which the barrel was placed, came across to the other side, and, after looking at the barrel, went over to it, seemed to be examining its head, then struck • light of some kind, applied it to the head of the cask, readjusted the tarpaulin over the head, and walked away. A woman who was being served by witness at the time ejaculated twice, " Good God, what is that man about! We shall all be blown op." Witness soon after met • policeman and told him there was • barrel down Corporation-lane covered a:tli a tarpaulin, that • gentleman had lighted it, and that it looked very suspicious. The policeman walked towards the place indicated, but in • lazy manner. In cross-examination the witness said he fancied one of the men who were drawing the truck was amongst the prisoners now in custody. He would not, how ever, like to swear to it. The man who fired the barrel appeared to have no communication whatever with the other,. He had seen all the prisoners in custody, and should not like to swear to any of them, but in his own mind be fancied one of them was the man who fired the barrel. (It was understood that this was the brother of the Desmond first apprehended.) Mrs. Jarvis, who was passing in Corporation-lane just before the explosion, observed the barrel upon the pave ment in the position described by the last witness. She saw a man standing by the corner of St. James's-place, and the other near the head of the barred In the head of the barrel she observed • roll of paper, and she saw one of the men (whom she had previously seen talking together) strike a light and ignite the paper. She felt alarmed, and in danger, and as she hurried away she turned round andeaw the paper " burning red—not flaring" —and the men running in the same direction as herself. Just as they overtook her the explosion took place. The men ran through Rosotnan-street towards the House of Detention. The men to whom she had referred were not Allen soil Desmond. She had seen them in custody, and was certain they were not the men. Polictman Moriarty, • new witness, who was injured by the ezploeion, and who is the policeman referred to by a previous witness as the one who walked lanly towards the barrel, said—l was on duty in Meredith -street on the day of the explosion. I was on toy ordinary beat, and had heard nothing of what Cu going on. About 20 minutes to four, Bird, the milk men met me, and sail tome "Policeman, there is something plead against the wall of the House of Detention, and boys Playing in front of it." I did not atop to hear any more, but went towards it immediately. On ap proaching it I saw four boys and • female sta mg in front of what was against the wall. I Ptaed by the woman,and then saw it was • barrel covered with • sack, like • new meal-sack ; I went within three feet of it. It was on its side with one end close t the wall of the House of Detention. The end to the bosses opposite was on fire. That end was coveret: with the sock so that I could nut exactly see what kind of a light It w as. It was gushing out, however, as large as my hand, and of a blue colour. It was not like • squib. The Coroner—Then it was like • stream. Witness —It was gushing out. I walked backwards a few frtt, and then the explosion took place, and I was knocked ba ckwards insensible. When I recovered my senses I THE EXPRF.Sk. .FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1867. hurried away and waisted to get a are escape. When I vas taken to the surgeon's I found the tail of my great coat had been blown away. The ventilator of my helmet was blown off, and was afterwards found in the yard of the House of Detention. Ido not know what became of the woman and children. Inspector Potter—One of them, a little boy named Abbot, is in the hospital now, not well enough to give evidence. The witness Moriarty, in reply . to a question from a juror, denied that he loitered in going towards the barrel, and said even if he had thought of putting the light out he could not have done it, because the fire seemed to be gashing out from the inside. W. F. Young was standing at his door in Corporation lane a few minutes to four on the Friday afternoon. and a little boy, named Abbot, drew his attention to the barrel. He looked out and saw every gentlemanly looking man, dressed in a fashionable brown coat, with black velvet collar and a black hat, standing on the edge of the pavement opposite, and • white mackintosh appeared to be laid over the barrel. The witness saw Bird talking to the policeman. Saw the police man walk lazily towards the man. Meanwhile the man struck a light which went out, and a box waa thrown to him from the court near, by a man dressed in black. The policeman was by his side at the time. The " gentleman lighted • squib in the barrel, and it fired with a light as thick as his finger. The two men them run one way, and the policeman the other, as if he expected an explosion. The policeman was at least forty yards off at the time of the explosion. It was a yellow flame. Witness had his thumb so injured that it had to be amputated immediately. His wife and sister were also injured. In cross-examination witness said—l should know these two men if I saw them again. I have been taken to see some men in prison, but they are not there. The Foreman—Do we understand you to say that the policeman was there when the match was tired ? Witness—Yes, when the second match was lighted. The Foreman—Did he see the light applied to the paper? Witness—Yee ; he saw the gentleman light the blue paper upon the edge of it. The Foreman—Then be could have prevented it' Witness—Yes, if he had had nerve enough. He was within • foot of the man. Moriarty was re-called and asked to explain. I Moriarty—l will swear, on my solemn oath, I was not there when the man lighted the fusee. There was nobody there but a few boys and a woman near the barrel. I'll call Him who saved me from being hurried into eternity to witness to this. The witnesses Bird and Jarvis were re-called. The former said the policeman was not there when he saw the light applied, and the woman also swore most positively that the only persons near when the fusee was fired were three or four little boys. Inspector Potter—The witness Young was examined at the other inquest, but he did not say a word of this. A Juror—HL statement is a very extraordinary one. The inquest was here adjonrnedtill next Fridaiy. SHARE LISTS.)-THIB DAY.) No. 1 Sd IMlllia. Aties Beak IDo Albion Alliance Limited Anglo Anatrian.. lop, Anti= loglo Italian (Limited).

The Stock Exchange has re-opened this morn ing with a large attendance of members, this being the first day of the settlement. Owing to the large extent of the operations during the fortnight, especially in railway securities, there is little dis position at the moment to enter fresh transactions. With the exception of Caledonian and Lancashire and Yorkshire the supply of railway stocks is fair. Nevertheless, the tone of the market for these secu rities is rather firmer, and an improvement has oc curred in several instances. Midland and Lanca shire and Yorkshire are in especial request. Con sols are fiat, at a reduction of 1-16 to per cent. Foreign bonds exhibit no alteration of importance, and banking and financial shares are inactive. As usual at this period of the year, the demand for money has increased, while the supply has diminished. The general rate for the best bills is 14 per cent., very few transactions being reported at If. The charge for loans in the Stock Exchange is higher, at 14 to 2 per cent. Consols are quoted 92* to f, ex div., for money, and 92f to 4, ex div., for the account (January 7). The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are 4 lower, at 921 to f. The railway market is rather firm, and prices have improved in some cases. Lancashire and Yorkshire stock has advanced 1 per cent. ; Mid land, f ; Caledonian, 3 ; and North British, 4. On the other hand, Berwick has declined f ; and Great Eastern, 4. Annexed are the quotations : Metropolitan, 1154 to 116 ; Great Western, 431 to 444 ; London and North Western, 1134 to j ; Midland, 102 j to 3 ; Lancashire and ' Yorkshire, 122 to 4 ; Caledonian, 73* to ; South Eastern, 66f to 67 ; Great Eastern, 31* to 4 ; Great Northern, 108 to 109 ; ditto A, 110 to 4 ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 171 to 18 ; North British, 33f to 341 ; Brighton, 493 to 50} ; Berwick, 981 to f ; and York and North Midland, 91 to 4. Foreign stocks are inactive, and the only movement in the speculative descriptions is a rise of * per cent. in Italian Bonds of 1861, viz., to 441 to 45f. Turkish of 1862 are called 604 to 614; ditto of 1865, 33* to f ; Greek, 124 to 13 ; Spanish Passive, 251 to 261 ; ditto New Three per Cents., 36 to it ; Egyptian of 1864, 85 to 86 ; and Mexican, • 154 to O. American securities are flat. The 5-20 bonds are quoted 72 to f , showing a decline of 1 ; Erie Rail way shares 48k to 1, being lower ; and Illinois Central, 871 to 881. Atlantic Cable shares are unaltered. Anglo- American are at 181 to 19f, and Atlantic Tele graph Eight per Cent. Preference at 41 to 1. Bank shares show no alteration of importance, the amount of business being very small. As regards financial shares, International have improved 2s. 6d., viz., to 2} to 2 dis. ; but the other companies are without change. London, 23 to 22 dis. ; General Credit, 2i to 2,1 die. ; and Credit Foncier, 6i to On no previous occasion of a similar kind has the City presented so deserted an appearance as it did yesterday, both wholesale and retail establishments being, as a rule, closed. In fact, almost the only exception to the universal character of the holiday was at the banking houses, and at (these there was next to nothing doing excepting through the Clearing House, where likewise the business tranaacted during the afternoon was very small. The managers of the London and County Bank, who appear to take very liberal views in the matter of consideration for their clerks, released from duty one-third of their staff, and it is to be regretted that the managers of all the other banks did not follow so good an example. Bar gold to the amount of 8,0001. was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exporta tion' while 20,000 sovereigns, received from Lisbon and South America, were sent in. The Etna has arrived from New York, with specie amounting to 75,0001., and the France with 121931. The letters of allotment of the new Portuguese Loan were posted last night. Telegrams from Lis bon quote the old stock at a price which would bo equivalent to 4 per cent. premium for the new issue. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance of 1,6171. 6s. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. The particulars are published of 48 bonds, re presenting 9601., of the Italian Five per Cent. Loan of 1862, which were drawn at Turin on the 10th inst., for payment on the Ist January by Messrs. C. J. Hambro and Son. . . Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. have advertised the dividend due the lit January on the Canadian Consolidated Five per Cent. Stock. The Bank of New Zealand are now receiving for payment the outstanding Eight per Cent. Treasury Bills of the New Zealand government, due the 31st instant; the coupons for interest due on all unpaid New Zealand government Eight per Cents. ; on the Auckland Harbour Seven per Cent. Loan for 25,0001. ; the Canterbury Six per Cent. Loan for 500,0001. ; the Canterbury Eight per Cent. Loan for 30,0001. ; the Otago Six per Cent. Loan for 500,0001. ; and the Otago Eight per Cent. Loan of 1861-2 for 50,0001. The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 4,3501., compared with the corresponding week of last year ; the Midland an increase of 821. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of 6111. ; the North British an increase of 543/. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and Branches, a de crease of 476/. ; and the Metropolitan Extension, separately, a decrease of 2281. As before men tioned, the decrease in some of the returns pub lished this week is partly explained by the fact that those fur the corresponding period of last year included a larger proportion of Christmas tratiic. A note attached to the Midland Company's return mentions that the additional 50 miles from Bedford to London are at present only partially used for goods traffic. An extraordinary general meeting of the Mid land Railway Company is called for the 15th January at Derby, " for the purpose of consider ing the provisions of a bill, entitled A Bill fot Conferring Additional Powers on the Midland Railway Company, for the raising of further capi tal, and the construction of new works, and for other purposes ;' and of taking any measures rela tive thereto, or to any of the matters thereof, that may be deemed advisable."

The return for the week would naturally be the lightest in the year, but it is anticipated that the amount for next Monday's settlement in the Stock Exchange will be larger than any yet published. The weekly return of the Bank of Francs shows the following changes : -- - .. Coin and bullion Bills discounted Decrease 2!K1,300 Notes in circulation Private deposits Decrease 24,000 Advances lncrease 13,300 Treasury balance The discounts continue to fall off, while the coin 3 and bullion are still rising, and, with the addition now shown, represent a total a 40,607,0001. The return of the Bank of-ifegland for the week ending Tuesday, Dec. 24, compared with that fee the previous week, shows the following changes : Obeulation WIN 05,837,200 Inareeae £.50,3916 Circulation active 73,382065 Increase 474,2115 Public deposits 7,578,757 Increase 32,437 Other deposits Government securities In banking department 13,019,203 No change.

The week's bullion transactions at the Bank were unimportant, and the stock of the precious metals is almost stationary. BANK OF ENGLAND.

THE WARRINGTON PLOT SAID TO BE A HOAX. (BY TZLEGILLPH.) WARRINGTON, FRIDAY. A special edition of the If rarrington Guardian says :—" Father Hall, Roman catholic priest, called on us this morning. He declares, in spite of the gas managers' evidence, that, from examination of the premises, no explosion could have occurred if the plug had been out for hours, and that the whole alarm is a hoax." SPECIAL CONSTABLES. The following circular has been forwarded by Sir dames Fergusson, Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, to the mayors of the principal pro vincial towns of England : " I am directed by Mr. Secretary Hardy to inform you that her Majesty's government have received information which renders it, m their judgment, desirable that the local authorities should be prepared to meet any disturb ances that may arise during the winter. The means which offer themselves with the least inconvenience to the community ate the enrolment of special constables, who should be in no Casa Called upon for any ordinary duty, but be so organised as to be readily available in the event of emergency. I enclose copies of rules laid down for the use of special aonstables in the city of London and metro politan districts, and of cards which are being issued to individual constables, so that there may be no confusion in case of their being called out. "INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ORGANISATION OF SPECIAL " CONSTABLES. " The defensive measures to be taken under present sir cumetanoes must as far as possible be of a quasi permanent character—that is to say, must be calculated to last for some weeks, and possibly throughout the winter. The best organisation will be that which is calculated to afford the most ready assistance to the regular police in the event of an emergency. With this view a police-station in every parish will be selected as the bead.quarters of the force of special constables of that paridi. The head-quarters station and every other police-station in the parish will be considered as a rallying point for the constables of that parish. The special constables of each parish will select to command them a superintendent and such number of deputy superintendents as may be required. The superintendent and one deputy-superintendent will be attached to head quarters, and one other deputy-superintendent must be attached to every other police-station. Outlying rallying points may be selected at the discretion of the superin tendent, and an assistant-superintendent must be attached to every such outlying rallying point, to act under the direction of one or other of the deputy-superintendents in charge of the police-station to which such outlying rallying point is subordinate. The whole force of the special con stables in each parish will be called a division, the portion under the direction of each deputy-superin tendent will be a subdivision, and the detachments under assistant-superintendents will be sections. Each deputy-superintendent and saaistant-superinten dent should be provided with a list of the names and addresses of the constables to act under his direction. At each police-station a similar list should he deposited of the subdivision attached to that station. distinguishing the men required to assemble at the station itself and its sub ordinate outlying stations (if any) respectively. The num ber of special constables sworn in for each parish, and the names and addresses of the officers appointed to direct them, should be forwarded as soon as possible to Lieu tenant-Colonel Ewart; R.E., Special Constables Com mittee-room, Wellington Barracks, S.W. Superin ...rodents may obtain information in relation to their duties on application to Lieutenant-Colonel Ewart, R.E. On the occasion of alarm, for example, the occurrence of an exrlosion or serious tire, information will be given to the police-stations of the parish. On the receipt of the in formation the police officer at head-quarters will, without delay, summon the superintendent of special constables, and, if the case be urgent, direct the spemal constables of the parish to be forthwith called together. The mode of summoning the special constables must be agreed upon be tween the police and the superintendents of special con stables. Every special constable when summoned will repair at once to his proper rallying point, and there await orders. In case of doubt as to the extent of the emergency, the officer in charge of the police at headquarters will confer with the superintendent of special constables, or, in Ws absence, with the deputy, before turning out the men. In the absence of special directions, the superintendent of special constables, in concert with the officer in charge of the police, will use his discretion as to the distribution of the force, and as to the general measures to be taken. " By order of the Secretary of State for the Home De partment. " C. 11. Ew.uar, Lieutenant-Colonel R.E. " Office of Special Constables, Wellington Barracks, Dec. 20." A telegram from Cork says that an Irish-Ame rican was arrested yesterday morning on the Waterford and Lismore mail oar. He was armed with a revolver. Her Majesty's ships Helicon and Research which left Queenstown on Tuesday morning in pursuit of ■ Fenian cruiser reported off the cast, have not yet re turned. The two men arrested on Tuesday at Wolverton, James Connerby, fitter, and Gladwin Meehan, coach body maker, were brought up at the County Hall, yesterday, before Mr. J. T. Senior, Mr. W. G. Duncan, and Mr. It. Rose, on a c harg e of having, on the 17th inst., at Wolver ton, compassed and intended to levy war against our Sovereign Lady the Queen, within this realm, in order by force and constraint to compel her Majesty to change her measures and councils. Captain Drake, the chief constable, applied for a remand, on the ground that Inspector Breary, who had charge of the case, was engaged in attending an implied in a case of murder in another part of the county, and the prisoners were accordingly remanded until Satur day. The prisoners, it is stated, were good workmen, earning high wages, and bore a respectable character. The prisoner Connerby was arrested at his house, and Meehan at his work at the factory. In Meehan's house was a por trait of the Fenian " General " Burke. - - CHARACTERS AT THE LEEDS NEW GAS WORES.—The rumours which have been in circula tion of late regarding contemplated attacks of • Fenian character upon the gas works in large towns have in Leeds fouodaome sort of foundation although it is just possible that what has taken place to give credence in this borough to these rumours may be satisfactorily explained. It seems that on Christmas night a party of Irishmen were seen loitering and talking together in Dewsbury-road, near the works of the Leeds New Gas Company, in • manner so suspicions as to attract the attention of two men in that locality and a constable (Police-constable Ellis). The Irishmen after a time dispersed, but were not long in re assembling, when, finding they were watched, they again separated. Two of them were at this juncture followed by the policeman, who had obtained assistance, and were apprehended, and they gave their names as Patrick Bray 0) and John Riley (28), and were charged before Messrs. ershaw, Cooper, and Tennant, at the Town-hall, yester day, under the Vagrant Act. Evidence was taken which set forth the facts we have indicated, and the men, who could give no reliable account of themselves, were re manded till New Year's-day, that further inquiries might be made into the ease. As • precautionary measure the gatworb In Leeds are being carefully watehed. ORDINARY SHARER AND STOOK& Sh. 1 Pd.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKET& MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) Coastwise, as well as by rail, the receipts of wheat from Easel and Kent fresh up to this morning's market were limited and mostly of inferior quality. The few millers in attendance were not disposed to operate beyond their immediate wants. The demand consequently flagged as the prices current on Monday. In some instances fine dry wheats were held for more money. Full average supplies of foreign wheat were on sale. In most descriptions a moderate business was concluded on former terms. The floating cargo trade on the whole ruled quiet. Prices were fairly supported. The few samples of find malting barley on the stands readily commanded extreme quotations. Grinding and distilling sorts were in good supply and limited request, at late rates. Malt, of which the supply was seasonably extensive, was difficult to sell, at Monday's currencies. The market was well supplied with oats, in which asks progressed slowly, at the recent decline. Beans were dull, and the transactions in peas were only to a moderate extent. Flour was dull, at about stationary prices. Linseed, rapeseed, and most agricultural seeas moved alf slowly. Cakes were quiet. cilnarr PRICES. Ellelrea Pot Qr. s.
