Shortly after Leen in her place robberies became frequent, and roman was actually caught in her depredations, and Lusband was found to be the receiver.

Sawyer, a detective *Mom of the If division, said be re ceived information from Mr. Basadford, the superintendent of the M divinoe, and at his direction proceeded to the County Gaol, Cambridge, where he saw the prisoner, and took him into custody. On telling him what he was charged with he said it wee all true, he took it and spent the money. Mr. Partridge asked if the beakers' clerk was in court! Sawyer replied in the negative.

COLONIAL BANK-0111S DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, Mr. Caintrus MARRTAT is the chair. The directors' report for the half-year ending 30th June, 1863, woe ss follows : _ _ _ "In pursuance of the requisitions of the charter, the directors present to the proprietors the following statement of the debts and awash of the corporation on the 30th June, 1863, comprising the net profit of the half•year ending at that period : " Debts.--Circulation, 246,227/. 6a.

" Considering that the circumstances adverted Win former reports, namely, the war in the United States, and the depressed condition of the markets for colonial produce, have exercised their influence tlOOll the business of the isankdurieg the half-year now under observation, the directors hope the proprietors will agree with them in considering the above statement to be satisfactory. They are happy to add that, the accounts of the half-year just ended, as far u they have been received from the branches, give promise that its result will be equally so. It affords the directors pleasure to be able further to report that the value of colonial produce has experienced a rho which, if maintained, may fairly be expected to have a beneficial effect upon the operations of the bank, but the improvement has occurred too recently to be apparent in the transactions of the last half year. The directors now recommend that, out of the net profit reported above, which, after providiag for all bad or doubtful debts and for income tax, a mounts to 33,937/. ls. Id., a dividend be made of 6 per cent. for the half-year ending 30th June, 1863, being at the rate of 12 per cent per an num on the paid-up capital of the corporation, which will require 30,0001., leaving 3,9371. Is. Id. Of this amount the directors propose to carry 2,617/. 14s. Bd. to the reserved fund, increasing it to 121.000/.; and the remaining 1.319/. oe. sd. to the credit of profit and loss account, to be carried forward to next half year." . . The CBAIRMAN expressed s hope that the present year would witness a considerable improvement in the position of the bank. When they last met, he said the state of affairs was gloomy enough, but now the prospect was very encouraging. During the last three month' sugars bad risen from Ba. to 10a. per cwt., and they now yielded a fair profit to the West India pro (tuners —a state of things which could not fail to benefit that bank. -- The report was adopted, and a dividend of G per cent. for the half year wine declared. The proceedings terminated in the usual manna. THE WEATHER.—(THIS DAY.)—Meseta. Ne gretti's exclamation which daily greets the reader of the newspaper edvertisernents—" How cold it has been !"—ia appropriate enough this morning.

It was seen by Dr. Brown, of Wilmingwo•aquare, but he found no marks of vi 01... on it. w. awed that the child had breathed, and that this was another of those eases of child murder which have been so prevalent of late. littxar Toast.—Yesterday was exhibited the lists of arrears in the common law courts for Hilary term, which commences on Monday matt, when Mr. Juatioe Shee will take his seat in the Court of Queen's Beech.

After the Queen's mandate and the letters patent had been read, his grace was enthroned. The choir then sang a suitable anthem, and the ceremony terminated. The Archbishop afterw ards pro ' eeeded to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where he was received by the chapter, at one o'clock. The letters patent having been read, his grace was enthroned. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT WIGAN.—The men employed by the Kirkleu Hall Coal Company is their Yard Coalmieei have been on strike for the last twelve or fourteen weeks. The original muse of the dispute was a proposal by the masters to alter the system of payment. and, instead of giving a uniform price for all sorts of coal, to pay one sum for tube of small and another for tubs of round, the workmen having to make the separation. This they objected to, and the strike began. The men now say that they ere willing to work either at their old rate or under the new soak proposed by the firm, provided the advance of 10 per cent. will be given to them, as it has been to the other colliers of the district. This refusal of the advance they allege to be the only reason for their remaining on strike. At a pub lic meeting held in the Public Hall, Wigan, on Monday evening, it was mated that the Yard Coal mine had been let to a charter-master or butty, who, it appeared, wan offering higher wages than the men them selves asked. The system, however, was in great disfavour, and the men at the meeting emphatically declared that they would not work for a charter-master. In answer to a question put by one of their number, the Yard coalmen preseat declared that they would willingly work for the firm at the wages paid by the charter-master. The men are supported in the strike by the Miners' Society.

Two °Thom The stock markets to-day are heavy, owing to the uneasiness inspired by the Danish ques tion. The dealers in Consols are occupied with preparations for the settlement to-morrow, and the price of this stock is quoted the same as it was yesterday afternoon, but the speculative foreign bonds and home railway stocks have experienced an average reduction of 1 to 3 per cent. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66fr. 65c., showing no change. Consols are now quoted 9(.14 to 91, ex div., both for money and Thursday's settlement, and 911 to / for the 4th of February. The official busi ness report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90/, 1, 91 ; ditto, for account, 904, Three per Ceuta. Reduced, 901, 4 ; New Three per Cents., 901, 91 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1061, 4 ; ditto Four per Cent., 100 ; ditto Bonds, 3s. dia. ; and Exchequer Bills, Is., ss. din, par. Foreign stocks are heavy. Mexican has declined / per cent., Spanish Passive 4, Turkish ConsolideSs 4, and Turkish Bonds of 1858, 4 per cant. Greek Bonds, however, are 2 per cent. better. Some of the present quotations are annexed : Turkish 1864 Loan, 891 to 90 ; ditto, 1858, 691 to ; ditto, 1862, 671 to 1, ex div. ; the Con solid4s, 47 to 3 ; Mexican, 361 to I ; Greek, 241 to / ; and Passive, 334 to /.

Only a moderate demand was experienced yester day at the Bank discount-office, and in the general market there was no increase of movement, the terms for choice bills remaining at to 7 per cent., and six mouths' paper being still taken at the former rate. An unsettled feeling is kept up by the anticipation of renewed shipments of gold to Brazil and Egypt, and some effect is likewise pro duced by the provision which is being made for the repayment to the Bank of the quarterly ad vances, the amount of which is probably not less than two millions. On the other hand, a large supply of money will of course be derived from the payment of the dividends, which commences on Friday next. At Vienna on Monday, the Austrian funds de clined per cent. The exchange indicates likewise some return of distrust, having risen to 119.25. The steamer Canada, from Boston, has brought 27,0001. in specie. Little alteration occurred yesterday afternoon in the Continental exchanges, but, as there is still a fair demand for bills, the tendency cannot be con sidered favourable. The rates were as follows : Amsterdam 3 months, 11.19 to I ; ditto, 3 days, 11.16 to 17; Rotterdam, 3 naafis, 11.19 to ; Antwerp, 3 mouths, 25.621 to 67A ; Hamburg, ms. box°, t hree moths, 13.71 to 8 : Paris, 3 city; r. to 30 ; ditto, 3 meths, 25.67 i to 721 • Iroutkfort-00-the-31ame. 3 months, 1191 to Petenbnrg (per rouble), 3 mouths, 334 to ; Vienna, eft. do.. 3 months,l2.4o to 45 ; Trieste. eff. go., 3 mouths, 12.40 to 45 ; Madrid, 3 mouths, 47i to 43; Cadiz, 3 month?, 471 to 43 ; Leghorn, S =oaths, 25.81 to 90; Gams. 3 months, 25.85 to 90 ; Milan. 3 months, 2.5.85 to 90; Naples, 3 months, 21.85 to 90; Palermo. 3 months. 25.85 to 90; Yemeni, 3 months, 25.85 to 9 ; Lisbon, 90 days, 52 1 to ; OPatta, 9U days, 5:4 to 1. With regard to a recent suspension in the silk trade, the Manchester Examiner and Times of yester day contains the following : The recent failure of Mr. John Ityle. silk throwster, whose liabilities are supposed to be horn 40,0001. to 50,000/., has caused considerable alarm in the Macclesfield silk trade. A °umber of manufacturers and tradesmen are likely to be serious lovers by this suspension, ■nd one has been spokma of as a ereditor to the amount of 16,0001. The sufferers will be chiefly in Leek, Coegleton. and London. A rumour, to which we do not at present attach entire credit, planes the postible amount of lose in which various parties may be involved as high as 200,0004 - - An amalgamation has been arranged between the West India and Pacific Steamship Company (Li mited) and the Liverpool, Western, and Spanish American Steampacket C'ompany (Limited). The director,' of the latter company, who are all largely interested in the West Indian and Central American trade, join the board of the West India Company. Another new undertaking was announced yester day—the Grand International Alliance Hotels Com pany (Limited). The capital, which is fixed at 300,0001. (subject to increase), in 12,000 shares of 25/. each, is to consist of the double form of ordi nary shares and fully paid shares to bearer. The chairman is Lord Arthur Lennox, chairman of the Grosvenor Hotel Company, and the board is partly English and partly Dutch. The object of the un dertaking is to establish a "through system" of hotel accommodation between Holland, Belgium, France, and England, the proposal being that hotels belonging to this company in Holland and Belgium shall act "en correspondence " and in alliance with hotels already existing in France and England and belonging to other companies.
