The conviction of the four men concerned in the ia robbery at the Stamp-office has been followed by the ,eitution of a great portion of the stolen prope rty. t The posers Leeson , Batt, and the two lases have ke confined since the assizes in the New Bailey bona and it occurred to the Governor, Captain &hell, that it he could ascertain where any of mis-dng stamps were to be found a very important ontage would be gained. Acting on this idea, and clout suggestion from the Hon. R. Howard, the distri e.ic et stamps, or any other person, Captain Mitchell of for Leeson to his office on Thursday morning, and y ,f a private conversation with him. Captain Mitchell apisined to him that the Hon. Mr. Howard had sustained “sest serious loss by the robbery, and, urging the Via' not to indict an injury where it could be no hisfit to himself, he appealed to him in the strongest el most persuasive manner to give such information as ✓eld lead to the recovery of any of the stolen property E A had not been disposed of. Leeson appeared to k influenced by Captain Mitchell's arguments, but *aired whether a restitution of the stolen property said have the effect of obtaining a remission of Lk sentences passed upon himself and his con fede ma. Captain Mitchell , in reply to this question, " Certainly not ;" but added, that he hoped they vwidnot persist in injuring the Hon. Mr. Howard, who • altogether to them an unoffending person. Leeson ih,a"l will give such information as you ask, 'dont either terms or conditions ;" and he requested to he allowed to communicate with the two Donglases, so ;tat he might not seem to them to be betraying them, and seeking to forward his own interests. The Doug ye were accordingly sent for, and, as the prisoners apreased a wish to talk about the matter privately, Capt. kitibell left theta in the office, and waited outside for • 'iv minutes. When he returned, the three said they toe ready to give the fullest information relating a the stolen property, but they would not say aything to implicate any persons who were not in nstody. The governor sent for the Hon. Mr. Howard, do arrived at the prison in a short time, and saw the meatins, whose wives, having remained in Manchester up that time, were also allowed to be present at the inter vw. The three prisoners described very precisely where fa tampa were, stating that they would be found in ;:rtmanteaus in the left luggage offices at the Padding n and Euston-square stations, in London. On Friday using, the Hon. Mr. Howard, accompanied by his fief clerk, proceeded to London by the London and loth Western express. The prisoners' wives went up the same train, for the purpose of pointing out the leans in which the stamps were deposited. That information given by the prisoners was strictly cor es' known in Manchester on Saturday afternoon, a telegram from Mr. Howard reached the Stamp , stating that stamps, including probates, of the e of :‘,00., had been recovered. Captain Mitchell As very highly of the manly conduct of the prisoners, ..0,113 soon as he had placed his view of the case before , seemed to be anxious to repair the injury they hail se, and gave the necessary information in the most htforward manner.

(THIS DAY.) •This great annual eXhibitima =AS the else of It year of no ordinary anxiety to cattle owns". and dialers. The deadly rinderpeat has cleared oat our Lon don cow sheds, and at one time seemed to threaten the annihilation of our home supply of beef, as well as greatly interfering 'with its importation from abroad. Last year we took mote ion to remark upon the unfortunate lack of statiatios, whereby to calculate the amount of our national resources in this direction. We saw the calamity coming down upon us, and did not know to what extent we were pre pared for it. A government department has since been formed, having special charge of these matters, and a system organised, which gives us hope that in the future all the aid that can be rendered will be rendered. In this respect our position to-day is very different from that of last year, then we were fearing and wondering, now, we are comparatively calm and assured ; seeing that the subject is being fairly canvassed by all parties interested therein. Hitherto, it is true, veterinary skill has been baffled as to the treatment of the disease, but we k have restrictions and regulations that we hope are calcu lated to arrest contagion, although they are considered by r t . some to be unnecessarily stringent. at Happily, the plague has nearly disappeared, yet a fresh outbreak now and again warns us to be vigilant. The ag. time has now arrived for providing winter quarters for the cattle, and we hope our country Mends will not 1 00 neglect any precautions. Cleanliness, ventilation, and St. disinfecting processes should be strictly attended to Z.- in the sheds. So large a number of cattle having been at. kept away by disease, our London supply during the put IA: year has been shortened, and prices have, consequently, ge, ruled high ; yet we have not had either the scarcity or the r t: famine prices that were anticipated. It was thought that et. to-day we should be very scantily supplied, this, however, is at. not the case, there is a full a verage number of beasts. 1 :'• In comparing numbers we must remember, too, that very mauy country butchers are prevented from purchasing here by the restrictions as to the transit of live stock. gt It is now six years since the "Great Market" was 50 et near to Christmas-day. Last year there was a full fortnight Bt between the two, and buyers had a choice of at least three at. days to obtain their Christmas supply. Nearly the whole to of that amount of business is this year confined to this 10 day. 100 10 As regards the quality of the supply, we do not reerieru -10 bar having seen a much better show. We have seen larger 9. fatter animals ; but these are not suitable for general con- I sumption. Speaking generally, the beasts on offer to-day tit. ate profitable both to the consumer and the producer, and 1 1 by the way we would say this is the object sought to be es gained by the Smithfield Club and the various provin. at. cial societies. It is to this end they attempt to arouse the 11:: spirit of competition amongst cattle breeder's by the prizes SI they offer at their annual exhibitions. It is difficult to yt say which bears the palm—whether the Scotch, of which to there are some splendid specimens, although not so a numerous as last year, or the Devon', which to-day are Es t certainly in first-rate condition. N. The short-horns are not so well represented as on former occasions. Lincolnshire has sent us but very few. The at Herefords are a very good show. Buyers are very active t t t amongst them, and prices are fair, but not so good as on to Thursday last. We certainly are feeling the absence of 1001 the country butchers. We are very scantily supplied with sheep for the day. There are very few indeed of a prize character. We see none of those splendid South Downs that have a/ la so charmed us on former occasions. The long wools are better represented. There are not, however, so many of those as usual. There is a good show of half-breds—a I Class of sheep which have become great favourites for Lon- j don consumption. Lincolnshirehas supplied us with a large proportion of them. They are now largely grazed in that t 3,1 county,where a few years since scarcely any but long wools if were kept. Therebeing so few of the larger descriptions, the prices for them ere better than last year, yet trade is el not brisk, owing to the mildness of the weather. Our au friends from abroad have not favoured us with anything It either of beasts or sheep that demand special notice G except that there are many very inferior. We are again r, happy to record that the arrangements of the market are It excellent, there being ample space and every accommoda- 11 tion both for cattle and visitors. COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

The mining market is rather active to-day, espe cially as regards shares in Prince of Wales, North Crofty, Prosper United, Wheal Grenville. and Great Vor. Some of the presentqnotations are as follows: —Prince of Wales, 255. to 275. 6d. ; North Crofty, 2i to 3 ; Great Vor, 141 to 15 ; Prosper United, 21 to 1 ; \Vest Caradon, 13 to 14 ; West Chiverton, 54 to 86 ; Wheal Grenville, 222. 6d. to 255. ; North Treskerby, 2 to ft ; Frank Mills, 1* to '2 ; East Providence, 1 to 1 ; and Chontales, 21 to I. At an extraordinary general meeting of the South Cornwall Mining Company (Limited), held at the Guildhall Coffee-house, on the 6th inst., a voluntary winding up was resolved upon, and Mr. C. F. Kemp, of Walbrook, was appointed liqui dator. TheNevadaSilvorMiningCompany(Limited)have received a telegram, dated San Francisco, the 12th inst., stating that their agent is "in possession, and working." A circular issued by the secretary states that the directors "have determined in justice to the existing shareholders, to impo:.e premium of 20s. per share upon all shares applied tor altar the 22nd inst. To shareholders and others applying before that time issue will be made at par." THE LATE MR. JEFPCOCIL—The death of Mr. Parkin Jeffcoat, who perished with other brave volunteers by the second explosion, is thus referred to by the ShOdd irgraph : " With many other gentlemen pnictioally ac qua:ntod with mines he had hastened to the Feetle. .) give his services in advising, organising, aid rescuing, but it was their unanimnus opinion that not one soul of all who were then left in the pit could have survived. Hoping against hope however, the wretched widows and orphans and friends of the killed trusted that it might not yet have come to the worst, and, unable to bear the sight of so much misery, these gallant gentlemen volunteered to go into the pit, to end so terrible an anxiety. Down into the pit, then, went the devoted party at 2 o'clock, and Mr. Jeficeek remained working in getting out the dead bodies till 10. Twice came the warning of an explosion, but it did not reach the explorers, and they continued at their sad task. Towards 10 o'clock ominous rumblings were heard in the labyrinthine workings of the mine. .The unskilled said the roof was falling in remote places, but the skilled knewtbat dangerwas pressing. They caused the exploring labourers to ascend,and just beforelo o'clock the cagerose with twice its customary freight. Mr. Jetfoock was urged again and again to leave the pit, but he refused. There were others there besides himself, and is was not for him to shun a danger that all could not escape. He waited for what there is reason to believe he well knew to be certain death. The cage rose, and was watched in its ascent by the brave men at the bottom of the shaft, whose eyes, alas, were closed in death before it reached the top, for hardly had its occupants time to leap from it at the pit's mouth before the blast came raging up." STEAM ROLLER IN THE PARKS.—At last a steam roller has been set to work in the parks. It is a cumbrous looking machine, and is worked, at night. One result of its working may be seen on the Kensington aide of Hyde-park, where some newly-laid granite was transformed into a sm ooth and compact mass on Friday night.

SCENES 114 A CHUN:H.—The district church of All Saints, Newington, has been the scene of some un seemly proceethngs. At the Lambeth lice-oourt on Saturday Mrs. Ditch, the keeper of a ' board i ng-schoo l, her servant, and nephew, were charged with traw li ng i the church. For come months Mrs. Ditch and the children under her charge bad been in the habit of occupying a certain pew in front of the pulpit. The incumbent, the Rev. Mr. Mitchell, after infamung Mrs. Ditch that the conduct of her scholars during .ervioe invariably dis tracted his attention from his duties, gave an order that they should be removed to a pew in one o f the side aisles.

'HIS DAY.)' errs With the exception of the funds, which exhibit a reaction of 1-16 to * per cent., consequent upon sales to realise profits, the stock markets are firm to day, and the general tendency of prices is upwards. Pinglush railway stocks are in good demand, and have improved I to * per cent., owing to some considerable purchases against previous sales for lower prices. Some of the foreign bonds are like wise higher, including Italian of 1861, which have been favourably affected by the speech of the King to the parliament. Banking and financial shares have not varied to any material extent, but are slightly better. The rate for discounts in Lombard-street to-day is to 4 per cent., with exceptional business at 31. The supply of money is large, and bills would probably be taken at lower quotations, but for the expected strong inquiry for accommodation at the end of the year. Consols are now quoted ssi to 89, ex div., for money, and 89 to *, ex div., for the account (January 10). ' Amongst the foreign securities there is a demand for Turkish of 1865, Greek, Spanish Certificates, and Italian of 1861, at an improvement of * to per cent. Russian scrip is steady, at to 1* prem. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 68 to 59 ; ditto of 1865, 34 to 34 ; Greek, 13f to 14 ; Spanish Passive, 20* to j; ditto Certificates, 14 to 14 ;Ilia lien of 1861, 55 to 56; Mexican, 18* to 2.
