rattle of the ink bottle against the inkstand, which she had no doubt got under her cloak. As soon as she got into the study he closed the door upon her, and sent for the police and charged her with stealing the inkstand. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness stated that the prisoner did not say that she would go and put the ink bottle beck, burin)/ caug ht it up with her dress. Mr. Kook asked'tlie - lootman whether the inkvtand was in the usual place when he entered the room after scouring the prisoner, and received an =Mar in the affirmative. Flinn, 75 C, said that prisoner told him that she met a woman in the street who told her to go to the doctor's and say that be was wanted at No. 12, Grosvenor-place, but that she did not know the woman. Barnes, the gaoler, said that the prisoner was the constant associate of thieves and had been several times at that court, but he waa not aware then whether she bad been convicted. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for • week. THAMES. GAROTTING A BURGLAIL—kXTRAORDINART CASE. William. Granger , • strong and determined•looking man, aged 22 years, described se • labourer, and having no occupation, wan brought before Mr. Selfe, :hared bnr glatioualyy breaking and entering the Dock-house Tavern, in the Futlndia-road, Bromley, and stealing therein 15 &fi lings 15 sixpences, 6.. 41. in coppers, • bag, two tablecloths, and a napkin, the property of Mr. John Pritchard. an old and much-respected licensed-victualler, whose right hand was much swollen and contused. Mr. Selfe,looking at the police-sheet, told the prosecutor, after he was sworn, that he could not compliment him on his penmanship. He could not make out the prosecutor's name or the name of his house. _ The prosecutor—Look here, air, at my hand. I cannot write to-day, after garotting that fellow. Mr. Selfe—Well, I am glad to hear that a burglar ham been garotted. • _ _ _ Mr. Pritchard—Last night I fastened up my house in the usual manner at a quarter before 12 o'clock, and went to bed. At half-past 1 o'clock this morning I was awoke by • nois.e and listened, as I thought it was the cat or dog ; but when I listened again I heard the money befog taken out of my WI, and was satisfied that 00 ca. or dog could do that. I then hastened into the her, and discovered the prisoner deliberately emptying the till. I sprung upon him and seized him I , y the neck and regularly garotted him. He was quite in sensible, and I handed him over to the police. My son, who is .1 volunteer, came down stairs with his musket and bayonet, and if there had been half • dozen of them we should have been a match for them. 3lr. Selfe—How did he ester your house? Mr. Pritchard—He pat back the latch of a back window, rtiud the bolt, and opened it. He knew well the ways of my house, for he was in my service twelve months. The prisoner, on being asked if he would give his ultras, rolled that he lived in Kilburn. Mr. Salta —What brought you to this end of London? The prisoner —I have lodgings at 41, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar. Mr. Selfe—l shall commit you for trial next Friday, when you will be brought up again. You are now remanded. THE MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD. CHESTERFIELD, THURSDAY. Late last night, the police under Mr. Superin tendent Bradford succeeded in apprehending two Irishmen of notorious character, on suspicion of being the murderers of George Cooper. These two men, who are named Thomas Flannery and John Ball, answer the description given by the young woman Holt in their personal appearance ; but hitherto she has not been shown the me n , as th e p o li ce have ascertained that the clothes they wore on Monday night have been concealed, and it is cousklered desirable to have them dressed in those clothes before they are shown to the young woman to ascertain if she can recognise them. In personal appearance the taller man, Flannery, very closely answers Holt's descriptions, one point being that the taller man—as described by Holt—had a short board and no whiskers, which is the case with Flannery. When appre hended and questioned as to where they had been on the night of the murder, the prisoners gave contradictory accounts. Both men were brought up before W. Drabble, EN., ermayor, this morning, and remanded until to morrow (Friday), after the adjourned inquest, which will be held at 10 o clock to-morrow morning. A dense crowd of Irish. who number between 2,000 and 3,000 in the town, surrounded the Municipal-ball during the hearing of the case. GAROTTE' ROBBERY AT HARTLEPOOL. At the Hartlepool Police-court, yesterday, James Wormald, fitter, Leeds., and Edward Bailey, labourer, Whitby, were charged with having assaulted and robbed ' James Millar, hawker, Wingate, on the 2nd inst. It appears the prosecutor travels with a pony and cart, and on Tuesday he had put np at the Fleece Inn, Hartlepool, and whilst having some beer in one of the rooms, he was joined by the prisoners. He entered into conversltion with them, and said he should like to see on board a ship, as he had before seen one. Wormald said he was going aboard, and he might go with him. The three then started ;it was dark about five o'clock in the evening, and on arriving at the dock gates it was proposed they should have some bur to take on board, and they all went into • back room of the Coal Exchange Hotel. The prisoners wished prosecutor to pay for the beer, but he declined. Wormald then seized him by the throat, and throwing him on his back on a table, plead his hand over his mouth, to prevent his shouting, whilst Bailey rifled his pockets, abstracting Itie. ta. and a pawn ticket. They then decamped ; and when prosecutor so far recovered himself as to be able to get up, he found his face bleeding from the ill-usage he had received, and the two prisoners gone. They were shortly afterwards ap prehended and committed for trial at the Durham Assizes. LONDON CHARTERED BANK OF AUSTRALIA. (THIS DAY.) Au extraordinary general meeting of the pro. prietnn was held at 2 o'clock, at the London Tavern, for tie declaration of a dividend ; Mr. W. F. DE SALIM in the chair. The following balance-sheet was presented : "Abstract of profit and loss account at 30th June, 1862. To dividend proposed to be paid, viz., 4 percent, on paid-up capital for half-year ending :10th June, 1862, free of income tas,lBl,oCol. ; to amount proposed to be earned to the reserved fund this half-sear, 5,020 L ; balance to next half-year, 9,6261. 16s. 2d.—total 54,5261. 1811. 241. ; by balance carried over as per last report, 8,52%1. 9s. 9d.; by baLince of profit endless in London and in the colonies for half.year ending June 30, 1862, after deducting current expenses, income-tax, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, 46,0001.66 a. 6d.; total, 54,526 f. 16e. 2a.; by hdance brought down. 9,5261. 16e. 2d." The CHAIRMAN observed that after the dividend of 4 per cent for the half-year the reserve fund would, with the addition now made to it, amount to 65,0001. The result of the last half year's operations was most sails factory. The losses from bad debts were of no importance at all, although the operations amounted to upwards of 1,010,0004 (Cheers.) The dividend recommended was declared, Mr. Jonah Andrew, of the Manchester City Bank, underwent his first examination in the Manchester Baukruptcy Court yesterday. He was brought up by writ of habeas corpus, and some time was spent in meeting ob jections which the bankrupt's advocate made eg.tiust the examination of his client in the court. Ultimately, the registrar overruled the objections, sod Andrew underwent a close examination. The amount of capital he ever pos sessed he had no idea of until he consulted his books. His liabilities and his assets he made •a estimate of, but his property, from his own account, is of very trifling amount. The examination was adjourned to the 10th instant. The writ for the election at Totness has been rercived, and the sheriff has fixed the nomination for Moe day ; the polling will of course take place on the following (14 BREWERS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MAGISTKATM.— A memorial having been forwarded from Scarborough to the Lord Chancellor, praying that his lordship would not appoint Mr. Godfrey Knight a magistrate for the borough, is consequence of his being a brewer, au official communi caloo has been forwarder) to the memorialists, acknow ledging the receipt of the communication, and stating that "if Mr. Knight is a brewer he is not eligible for the appointment of borough magistrate." SMITH rieLD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—The :mange. meets at the Agricultural Hall are progressing. All the implements are in the building, and yesterday a large number of the live stock arrived. Prolonged bellowiogs, bleating*, and gruntinp announced this latter fact within ear-shot ; and dire wa s th e clamour produced by so m an y s h eep an d oxen iu their Dew quarter. Marvels of bovine obesity are slam, of the " specimens" exhibited ; and it is certain that the show will, as a whole, be satisfactory to the farmer's heart. Th e sheep are also wonderful in size. Of pigs there have as yet been few arrivals. rho interior of the buileing is fast assuming its spectacular cha. meter ; and the general effect when it is lighted up is very striking. In the galleries, the exhibitors and their as sistants are still busy in the arrangement of their stalls, which must be completed by to-night. Very light and graceful are many of these, and no inconsiderable taste has t ea displayed in their erection and decoration. The col l'tion of roots, SEea., and cereals will be an attractive fe.iture of the show ; and many visitors will look with iote l'at main the colossal gourds, the titanic turnips, the prodigious parsnips, and the enormous cabbages which adorn some of the stalls. The show of bnplements will be splendid. There are machines of all kinds, ranging Iron, the steam ploughs. whose bulk and weight preclude their being exhibited anywhere but on the basement. to delicate little hoes which might be handled by a lady. There are root crushers and hrick-makers and tile-pressers, deep well pumps Portable liquid manure pumps ; stable-fittings, plain or imurious ; ri.k.cloths and waggoo.cloths • machines for g ri a'itog, crushing , shelli ng , p er f orat i ng, and lifting ; and a t se e a b host of other contrivances, from sheep-dippers to b u.priuts. By to-night the cattle will all be in th e i r Ptail,anil the decoration of the s t a ll s sa d th e arrangement of the impleinenter will be completed THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1862.

Much excitement has been caused throughout the county of Wilts during the last few days, in consequence of the sod den disappearance of a rev, gentleman well known through out the district in which he resides, and also by the flight with him of a person living in the same neighbourhood. A village in the immediate vicinity of Swindon is the scene of the elopement. What renders the circumstance more pain ful than it would otherwise have been is the fact that the person whom the rev. gentleman has token with him is a married woman, and prior to entering into the matrimonial state she lived in the house of her rev. admirer as lady's maid. We are not certain whether the rev. gentleman himself is married ; but rumour states that he is. It is said that before the elopement the rev. gentleman, whom friends move in high circles in Woroesterthire, sold out at the Stock Exchange, and that the proceeds realised some thousands of pounds, which the fugitives took with thorn. We believe the woman has several children.— Western Daily Press. DR. NEL ETON'S REFUSAL OF PARLIAMENTARY ROSOURIL—The following is given by some of the journals as the reply of Dr. Nekton to a certain number of work men who offered to vote for him as deputy :—" Gentlemen, —I feel much gratified at the step you have taken, but I most confer that it astonishes me as much as it does me honour. Ido not well see how my knowledge of surgery can have made you imagine that I am qualified for the mission with which you wish to invest me, or how I should have suddenly become a poli tical economist, a financier, and a legislator, be cause I have discovered the presence of a ball in the foot of a wounded man. If the object in view were to appoint ins surgeon to the Chamber, that would be a different af fair ; but the business of a deputy is what I have never ' learnt in Hippocrates, and for which, to speak frankly, I I have no taste. lam even convinced that the affairs of the country would not go on better, and that my patients being neglected would fare the worse. I must, therefore, while thanking you for what you have done, declare th at you I propose to me au hon)ur which it is impossible for me to accept." GRAYING ROUES ON FOREIGN ST ATIONS.—The question of graving docks for the repairs of her Majesty's ships on foreign stations, which MRS brought before the' House of Commons last session by Mr. Laird, has become • of more importance, from the necessity that will mast to protect the foreign trade by means of iron-cased vessels, more especially on the Pacific, where several iron-cased ships are about to be constructed by the United States government. The last mail from Victoria, Vancouver's Island, bring., accounts of three of her Majesty's ships, within a few months, namely, the Termagant, Berate, and Matins, having been ordered to San Francisco for repairs at the American dock there. Other ships in her Majesty's service have had to use the patent slip at Panama. In case of war with the United States, or any other power, her Majesty's ships would, of course, be pre vented using the docks and slips at the places above named ; and the cost of constructing a graving dock at Van couver', Island, for which the site is peculiarly favourable, would soon be repaid by the great advantages it would offer for the repairs of the Pacific squadron during peace, but most certainly in the event of var.—Panama Star. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two OVIDOIL There is still no movement in the funds, which are quoted the same as at the close of business yesterday. The market is inanimate, but appears to be steady in character. As regards foreign stocks, the tendency of prices, on the whole, is downwards. English railway stocks, in some cases, are likewise flatter. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 70fr. 60c., being oc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 921 to 1 ex div., for money, and 921 to 1, ex div., for the Bth of January. The official business report is as fol lows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 92, 1; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 921, 92; Bank Stock, 2361, 236 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1071, 4,1, ex div. ; ditto for account, 1071, ex div.; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1001, 1 ; ditto Bonds, 265. prem. ; Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 1061 ; ditto Five-and-a- Half per Cent., 1121; Exchequer Bills, 7s. prem. - Foreign stocks, including Mexican, Greek, Italian, Spanish certificates, and the Passive bonds, are very dull, and the prime of these show a drooping tendency. Turkish securities are quiet—the Loan of 1854 at 831 to 841 ; that of 1858 at 701 to 71; the scrip of 1862 at 21 to 21 prem. ; and the Consolid4s at 381 to 9. Venezuelan scrip is quoted 29 to 11 dis.; Peruvian, 21 to 2 die. ; and Portuguese, 39 to 1 prem. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 104 ; ditto, 1852, 1858, 1860, 93, ex div. ; Buenos Ayres, 93 ; Danish, 85 ; Egyptian, 921; Greek, 161; ditto Coupons, 61; Italian, for account, 709, 1 ; ditto Maremmana Rail way, 721, I ; Mexican, for account, 324, 9 ; Portuguese scrip, 31 prem. ; Russian, 1850, 939, 9 ; ditto 1859, 601 ; ditto paid up scrip, 939, 9 ; Sardinian, 81,1 ; Spanish Passive, 231, 9 ; ditto Certificates, 9, 89, 9 ; Turkish, 1854, 841; ditto, 1858, for account, 709 ; ditto 1001. Bonds, 77 ; ditto 1862, paid up scrip, 709, ; Venezuela, for account, 249 ; ditto scrip, 2, 1 din Although yesterday was the 4th of the month th e demand for money, both at the Bank of England and elsewhere, was only moderate. Good paper con tinues to be taken at 21 per cent. The bills ma turing to-day appear to have been very well met. The coarse of the Vienna exchange indicates an improvement in the Austrian currency : the latest quotation received is 120.75. The Turkish loan of 1862 has now approached to within 1 per cent. of the price of the loan of 1858. The City of Baltimore, from New York, baa brought 256,000/. in specie, and the New York 65,0001., making together 321,0001., which will be despatched abroad. No gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for transmission abroad, owing to the large arrivals from America. _ _ _ The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 2451. compared with last year ; the Great Western an increase of 1,2371. ; the London and South Western au increase of 292/. ; the Midland a decrease of 87/. • the North Eastern an increase of 1,0371. ; the idanchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire a decrease of 1841. ; and the Great Northern an increase of 263/._ The report of the directors of the Bank of British North America states that they have declared a half-yearly dividend at the rate of six per cent, per annum, free of income tax. The report mentions, however, that " there is still a considerable portion of the funds of the bank for which safe and pro fitable employment has not been found at the branches, and which the directors, from motives of prudence, have deemed it advisable to retain in London, notwithstanding the loft rates of interest obtainable here." We are informed that the [subscribed capital of 400,0001. of the London and South African Bank has now been fully paid up, and that the nmesemey certificate has been forwarded to her Majesty's Treasury. The increase in the business of this bank keeps pace with its enlarged capital. A new undertaking has been organised under the title of the Para Gas Company (Limited). One of its peculiarities is that the whole of the capital, which is 100,0001., in 101. shares, has been pri vately subscribed for. No applications are there fore invited from the public. The project is framed by a number of persons of respectability with a view to carry out a very liberal government concession for lighting with gas the city of Belem, the capital of the province of Pars, in Northern Brazil. A guaranteed contract for the construction of the works has been entered into with Messrs. Peto and Bette, and Messrs. Aird and Son. Ar rangements have been made with Mr. Thomas Rumball, by which he undertakes the engineering expenses at a defiuite remuneration ; and the transfer of the concession, including all preliminary expenses, up to the formation of the company, has been agreed upon fora fixed sum. The chairman is Sir William Clay, Bart., and the other directors are Sir C. H. J. Rich, Bart., and Messrs. John W. Clark, Henry Whiting, John S. Rivolta, Charles Aird, and Joseph Quick. It is stated that the prospectus will not be advertised. Another new project is the Plantation Company of Western Hindustan (Limited.) The capital in this instance is 170,0001., of which the first issue is to consist of 50,0001., in 10,000 shares of Si. each, and as 8,700 shares have been placed, including 2,800 appropriated to the vendor, applications are now invited for the remaining 1,300. The object is to purchase estates of about 8,000 acres on the western coast of India, and to cultivate them with more especial reference to the plantation of coffee. Mr. Francis Twining, of Parbold Hall, Lancashire, who, with his friends, holds a large stake in the company, is to go oat as manager in India. A special meeting of the Telegraph to India Company is called for the 12th December, "to consider a report from the directors on the present position of the company's affairs." The first general meeting of the Library Company (Limited) was held on Wednesday (Mr. W. Coning ham, M.P., presiding), when a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. The report stated that the business has increased and is increasing so rapidlythat a further issue of shares is necessary, and the directors were authorised to take steps for issuing 15,000 more shares accordingly. The number of applications for shares in the London and Northern Bank is nearly 21,000, whilst the first issue is limited to 5,000. The directors, having regard to the future business of the bank, have allotted the shares to about 600 persons prin cipally resident in those districts where it is con templated to open branches. It appears that the number of shares in the newly announced London and South Western Bank applied for up to last evening is 3,515, the number to be allotted being 5,000. It is notified that the share list of the Oil Wells Company of Canada (Limited) will be closed " about the 15th inst. " The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales : At the 22nd series of hide sales for the year only a mode. rate demand was experienced, and in some instances late rates were barely maintained. Bast lutlia.—Ox and Cow.—Calcutta of middling to fair quality (of which there were bat few in the sales) met with a steady demand, and realised fully previous prices but common descriptions, which composed the bulk of the melee, were neglected, and in some cases slightly receded in mine. There were no good to prime hides offered. Bombay, he., were mostly bought in. The analysis of the sales is :- 97,2E1 Calcutta new panels, 31,608 brought forward from former sales, and 2,664 Bombay, At., in all 131,5 M hides, and 7,107 oalf skins, of which 86,068 hides and 6,181 calf skies were sold. . _ _ --- EirsiQia.---Baffalo were well competed for, and were mostly sold. Lestber.—Fist Indian sold well ; Australian rellised about former prices. Salted Bides.—Sonth American were mostly bought in. Australian : For the quantity sold full prime were realised.

The India Five per Cent. stock was firmer, closing at 1074 to it. India Bonds were quoted 245. to 275. prem., and Exchequer Bills Bs. to 13s. prem., being la lower than yesterday. The animation in the foreign stock market has quite subsided, and in several instances to-day the tendency of prices was downwards. The debentures of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada showed increased buoyancy to-day. The movement in the 7 per cent. Debentures of 1862 was especially marked, the quotation yester day being 46 to 48, and to-day 50 to 55, showing a rise of about 6 per cent. Victoria Government Debentures continue in demand, with an upward tendency. In the market for bank shares to-day the ten dency of prices was unfavourable, owing to the rapidity with which new concerns are being started. Lower prices were quoted for City Bank, Lon don and County, Alliance, Imperial, and Standard Bank of Africa. National Discount shares are still inquired for. Crystal Palace stock was a little more offered. The closing quotations for shares in new under takings were as follows :—Union Bank of England and France, to f prem.; London and Northern Bank, I to f prem. ; English and Irish Bank;par to prem. ; Oil Wells of Canada Company, # to ram. ; South African Irrigation and Investment, to I prem. ; Greenland Company, Ito f prem.

The property to be worked is situated three miles north-west of Dol gelly. It is bounded on the south by the Prince of Wales Mine, and on the west by the Cambrian, and it is mentioned that several of the lodes of both these mines run through it. In addition to lodes of rich silver lead, copper, blends and sulphur, all containing gold, there is a gold lode described as at places 30 feet wide. The existence of gold in every lode is stated to have been proved by the assay of samples collected promiscuously by a deputation appointed by the board, which has personally in spected the property. The purchase money is 15,0001., viz, 5,0001. in cash, and 10,0001. in shares, which are not to be handed over to the vendors until six months after allotment. The pro posed capital is 50,0001. in 11. shares. The direc tion is respectable. At the special meeting yesterday of the lierbwida Coal and Iron Company, the resolutions passed at the meeting on the 17th ult., for increasing the capital, were confirmed. At the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company's special meeting, also held yesterday, it was unani mously resolved to increase the capital to any amount not exceeding 10,0001. A large portion of this sum was subscribed at the meeting. A CORSICAN SOLDIER CONDEMNED FOR MFRDER. —The military tribunal of Chalons has just tried a young soldier of the 52nd Regiment, named Pietri, a native of Corsica, on a charge of having murdered, on the ..:;rd Nov., a young man named Kaneda, the son of a farmer residing at Saint-Memmie, near Chalons. It appeared from the evidence, which agreed with the account. given at the time the milder took place, that M. Rennin and his son were returning home from one of their fields, with a load of green fodder, on the top of which they were seated, when they came up with two young men, one of whom was a grocer at Chalons, in shooting attire, with a fowling piece, who lay on the ground dead drank, and the other the prisoner, who was somewhat less intoxicated. The latter asked M. Rennin to allow his companion to ride to Chalons on the fodder.

He then discharged the other barrel at the father, bat missed him ; the shot, however, struck a rake banging at the hack of the load. All these facts were proved by the evidence of M. Rattails, and many other witnesses deposed as to tie drunken state of the soldier and his companion, especially the servants of a farm houto where they had drunk four bottles of wine. The pri soner. when asked what he bad to say in his defence, stated that he had gone out with Regnaud for a day's shooting. Towards evening they went to a farmhouse to ..i.amo re. freshnient, where they got intoxicated, and he had not the slightest recollection of anything that occurred front the time they left the house till after his arrest. He concluded with expressing the remorse he felt for the dreadful results of hie drunkenness. The prisoner's counsel declared that his client was in reality a madman when be committed the crime, and implored for him the benefit of extenuating circumstatmes ; but the tribunal, deeming intoxication no excuse. unanimously declared the charge of murder fully proved, and eontdemned the prisoner to death. 1 84 117 161 42 1 ii 1 :1 9 Inet 109 , 1 70i 118} I 96 1 11:11i 1 Pal 54 1 f S 4" 8 t 4 es 1081 ZI li 2k 76 es sek A la 4 13 i - 104} 97 29} 38j 91 331 - tit' 1196.0 11 0 200, 66000& 10.000, 110,000 10,000. 1 S ll 4; A iCl i 441741 10,000 00,0001 99 a 1071 zd 36 - 91 17
