Last evening a shocking murder was perpetrated in Green-street. Paddington, by a man named George Ringwood, aged 35, a contractor, living at No. 15, Green-street, Paddington. Last night Ringwood was the successful competitor for • contract for work to be done in Mortimer-street, Riumll.equare, after which be went into • public-house in that neigh bourhood, followed by his wife. After drinking there far a short time they went towards their home, and on arriving at Green-street the wife insisted upon going into the Greyhound beershop, and Ringwood went into his own house and gave their nine children their slip per. He then went into the beershop and found his wife singing in the parlour. This offended him, and angry words ensued, but they subsequently became good friends. After sitting in the parlour till near midnight Grace (the wife) insisted upon singing another song, and while doing so her husband was talking to a man named Mackie, who spoke in a loud tone of voice, and this inter- rupted the singing, whereupon Mrs. Ringwood got into • t=o 42; and used harsh epithets to her husband. Re so exasperated that he seized a table knife which lay on an adjoining table, went to his wife, seized her by the hair of her heed, and stabbed her. The knife penetrated through the neck and separated the jugular vein. Dr. Beale, of Portens-roed, was immediately called in, but found her dead. Inspector Steer, X division, took the man into custody, and then conveyed the nine children in two cabs to the Paddington Workhouse. The man Ringwood has always borne a good character as a sober, industrious man, but the deceased has for several yeses peat been addicted to habits of intemperance.

It appeared that between 9 and 10 last evening the deceased was in the parlour of thebeer-house, when she was joined in about half an hour by her husband (the prisoner). She was not sober,ani commenced singing, to which the prisoner made no objection, but commenced talking about a contract he had taken that day for work from some gentlemen. She told him not to talk about his private betimes' in a public-house, as she would not allow it. He still kept talking about his business, and she called him • " thief," and ordered him to hold his noise. She then got up, and was going to strike him, and took a bottle from a shell and threw at him. She missed him. The prisoner got up. She was going to strike him, when he said he would have no more of it, and took a knife, and stabbed her in the neck. The police and • medical gentleman were immediately called in, but the wife was dead. The pri soner was taken to the st►tion-house. Prisoner said he threw the knife—not stabbed her. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner. Jean Fr4d4ric Auguste Ponchard, the well known and accomplished musician, died in Paris on Satur- day, in the 77th year of his age. He obtained the first prize at the Conservatoire in singing and the second in lyric tragedy and comedy so early as the year 1810. Ponehard very quickly became a favourite with the public.

The Camases, in moving the adoption of the report, observed that that being the first half of the financial year, the dividend was an iaterim one, but bethought it would be emisidered satisfactory. (Cheers.) Half-year after belf ries' the board had to announce continued success. The spring and summer held-years were generally the best, and as money was not likelyto be cheap the profit. of the current half-year would probably be large. Trade generally as the board believed, in • sound eonditioo, and mere meoulations would not receive any encouragement from them. They had ample opportunities of applying the large funds at their disposal to the legitimate wants of their customers. It was not to be supposed that they bad had no bad debts ; but they had all bees written off, and the board would take care to avoid improper risks. (Cheers.) The board had, io conjunction with the beards of other joint-stock banks, determined to increase the maximum allowance o• deposits. Five per cent had been fixed.t the maximum, but it was now to be 5$ per cent. when the Bank of Eng lead rate was 8 per cent. The deposit system in this country was eves yet almost in its infancy and considering it. advantages he was surprised that it was not es extensive in the south as in the north. The new branch in Chancery-lane was highly appreciated, and would, he believed, prove a great advantage to the company. Ile concluded by stating, in reference to the vote at a previous meeting for a portrait of Mr. flerimgebur, the late manager, that that gentleman having an invincible repugoan3e to sitting for his portrait, it bad been decided to substitute for the portrait • piece of plate. (Cheers.) The report was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, together with a bonus of 2) percent. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) WEDNIBDAY, iiNoAlt7 10, I A.K.

FATAL ACCIDENT.---• Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankeeter held an inquest at the Bank of England public house, Paddington, relative to the death of Charles Peck, aged 57, • platelayer, who had been employed by the Great Western Railway C ompany. The deceased was one of • number of men working en the line near the carnage department last Saturday. The Hammersmith down tram of the Metropolitan Company, which travels over the Great Western permanent way, approached as the deceased was stooping, having one of his lege inside the rails on which the train wee running, and before he could get out of the way, the buffer of the engine knocked him down, fracturing five ribs and the pelvis, from the effects of which injuries he died. It is • curious and unhappy coincidence that a fortnight ago • platelayer named Parker was knocked down near the earns place by the identical origins which struck Pack, and was driven by the same men, Thomas Stanley. No blame was attached to the driver of the engine, sod the inspector of the Great Western Company's police stated that at the point where the accident occurred upwards of 300 engines and trains passed duri ng every 15 or 16 hours. The jury returned a verdict of • Accidental death," end added a recommendation that over each gang of men employed et these dangerous points one should be ap pointed to watch the trains and warn the workmen of their aproach.

ONE O'QLOO=• The stock markets are rather firmer to-day, owing chiefly to the plethora of money, and the consequent decline in the rates of discount in Lom bard-street. Consols have advanced * per cent., and an improvement is also observable in some foreign bonds and English railway stocks. Banking and financial shares are likewise steadier, and a slight rise has taken place in London Financial. There is a fair demand for money to-day, owing partly to the arrival at maturity of a large amount of Indian paper. The supply of capi tal, however, is superabundant, and transac tions continue to be effected in the best bills at to per cent., or to below the Bank rate. In the Stock Exchange, loans till to morrow on English government securities are ob tainable at 4 to 5 per cent. Consols are now quoted 861 to 87, ex div., for money, and 87i to i, ex div., for the new account (Feb. 8). Mexican Bonds are in rather strong demand, and have risen it per cent. Spanish Certificates have also improved and the Passive Bonds I. Other foreign stocks are steady, with little business. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz.: —Greek, 13k to f; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 41i to ; Spanish Passive, 26 to f; ditto Certificates, 131 to 3 ; Confederate, Cti to if; Brazilian scrip, ito prem. ; and Mexican, 21i to 22i, ex div. United States 5-20 bonds are in request and have improved g per cent., the present quotation being (xi to 1 ; Erie Railway shares are also better, at 56 4, to and Illinois at 76 to 4. International Financial shares are now quoted I to I prem. ; General Credit, 11 to 2 prem. ; London Financial, 3 to I prem. ; Imperial Mer cantile, 1/ tot} prem. ; Credit Fonder and Mobi lier of England, 4 to i prem., ex all; Overeni, Gurney, and Company, rif to I prem. The shares of Charlee Lafitte and Co. are quoted 2} to 3 prem. ; English and American Bank, i to lf prem. ; and London Steam Towing, li t to 2 prem. The payment of the dividends commenced yester day, and, though souse large advances were repaid to the Bank, there was a further increase in the supply of money in the general market, where, conse quently, the best three months bills were freely taken at 7; per cent., and paper of shorter date at a fraction less. Six months bank bills were charged 7 per cent., or below the existing minimum at the Bank of England, but the fact that bills of this clan; are being sought after as low as 7 per cent. by merchants and others indicates a growing belie that the value of money cannot be maintained long at its present high level. A large amount of Indian bills fell due yesterday, and more have to be met to-day. The subscription for the Argentine Republic Loan of 1,250,0001. was closed yesterday. It Las not transpired what amount of applications have been received. Little alteration took place yesterday afternoon in the foreign exchanges, but the tendency WAS dull, and the rate for bills on Paris was quoted rather worse for this country. The list is sub joined : Amsterdam, 3 months, 12.2/ to 1 ; ditto, 3 days, 11.18 to 19 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 12.21 to ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.50 to 55 ; Rarobarr, ma. bane°, 3 months, 13.91 to 10 ; Paris, 3 days, 25.121 to 171; ditto, 3 mouths, 25.471 to 521 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1201 to 1; Petersburg, per rouble. 3 months, 29f to 30 ; Vienna, if. So., 3 mouths, 10.871 to 921; Trion., ditto, 3 months, 10.878 to 921 ; Madrid, 3 months, 461 to 1 ; Cadiz, s months, 471 to I; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.70 to 75; Genoa., 3 mouth; 25.70 to 75 ; Milan, 3 months, 25.70 to 75 ; N 11411116, S months, 2170 to 75; Palermo, 3 months, 25.70 to 75 ; Messina. 3 mouths. 25.70 to 75; Lisbon, 90 days, 511 to 4 ; Oporto, 90 days, 511 to 1. The bar silver by the Mexican packet was sold yesterday for the East at ss. Igd. per ounce, show ing a fresh decline. It has been asserted that America is sending us scarcely any commodities in exchange for the large amount of goods which we are now sending to her, and upon this has been Wed the assumption that our merchants are giving her an excessive, and, therefore unsafe amount of credit. The exact form of the assertion is that the imports of commodities from America are " singularly small." We have already commented upon the singular errors, both of fact and of conclusion, involved in these remarks, and we have now one more fact to adduce which may be left to speak for itself. The arrivals of American cotton iu Liverpool /oat week were 43,163 bales, representing a value of about 1,760,000/. We doubt whether our imports from America in one week ever reached such an amount before. The crown agents for the colonies disposed of 100,0001. Mauritius Government Six per Cent. Debentures by public tender, at theiroffices, to-day. The biddings amounted altogether to 177,400!., at prices varying from 80 to 102. Tenders for 85,0001. at 101 and upwards, and for 15,0001. between 1001 and 101 were aocepted. The minimum fixed before the opening was 100. To-day a new competitor, possessed of un questioned credit, a complete organisation, and large resources, will enter upon the field of metro politan banking. The National Provincial Bank of England, which was established in 1834, to day opens its new banking-house, occupying the site of the well-known old "Flower Pot" Inn, at the corner of Threadneedle-street and Bishops gate-street. This building is one of the finest of the kind in the metropolis, and is well deserving of a visit, owing to the completeness of all its arrange ments. A branch will at the same time be opened in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall. The number of shareholders in this establishment is about 1,70 a It has a subscribed capital of 2,100,0001., a paid up capital of 1,080,0001., and a reserved fund of 225,4521. 6s. 2d. The last division of profits was at the rate of 28 per cent. per annum. Owing to the large number of its branches-124—in England and Wales, and its extensive system of agencies and correspondence at home and abroad, it can scarcely be doubted that this institution will take a high place amongst London bankers. Iu this country, however, there is no such thing as free trade in banking, and before the National Pro vincial Bank could open a London office, it has been obliged to defer to the rigorous laws enacted with a view to preserve to the Bank of England a monopoly of the note issues for 65 miles round London, and surrender its issue of notes. The amount of this issue, as fixed by law, is 442,3711., and its cessation wilt necessitate a supplemental , issue of notes by the Bank of England to the extent of two-thirds of this amount. The note circulation of the country is already so inadequate to its wants, and so strictly hedged round by legislative enact- manta, that the loss of one-third of the above-men tioned sum of 442,3711. may be attended with some 1 1 inconvenient result*. . I The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,2091. over the correspond ing week of last year. It is notified that, on and after the 22nd instant, the Anglo-Austrian Bank will be prepared to PO' I out of the profits of the year 1865 the sum of 3a. per share, making, with the previous psyment of 3s. in September last, 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. It is stated that a company is being formed under the title of the Deep Sea and Coast Fishery Com pany (Limited). An extraordinary general meeting of the York street Flax Spinning Company (Limited) is called for the 22nd inst., at Belfast, when a dividend is to be declared. Holders of Great Eastern Railway Five per Cent.
