There is only one servant. I left between 6 and 7 and came back at 8 and found that the house had been broken open. I could not let myself in, and found the police there. They got over the wall, and opened the house at the back. When I got is the house I found the boxes turned out sod the place ransacked, all the rooms except the kitchen. The street door was fastened with a large key. The jewellery produced is my master's property ;it was in the bedroom. The jacket and coat pro duced were in the bedroom. I don't know the prisoner. Mr. James Williams. blind-maker, Jubilee•plyce, road—At half-past 7 last night my work people told me there were men on the root. I went out and saw this man getting off the roof of my factory. Mr. Bellamy's pre mises join mine. I asked prisoner what he did there, and lie said it was merely a freak of his. The prisoner got off the roof and attempted to escape. I stopped him, and as I did so a policeman appeared. I shack the prisoner to disable him, for fear another man should come to his saris lance. There was another man concerned in it. My workpsople saw him. George Bennett, 23, Markham-street, King's road, an intelligent little boy, said—l saw prisoner and another man in front of Mrs. Ballamy's house at 6 o'clock, and after. wards saw them try the door. I went on an errand and saw them enter the house as I returned. I told my mother and we watched the house. I saw a light struck upstairs, and a man's hand passing along the mouthpiece and dressing table. The police were sent for. Police-constable 281 B—l took prisoner from Mr. Williams, sad found the jewellery produced in his pocket, that jemmy also.

Upwards of 1,000 persons, chiefly women, end all of them very poor, and the greater portion of them thinly clad, assembled in the street opposite the court for relief. Some put is the printed forms tamed by order of the ma gistrates. They were signed by the clergy of ell denominations or by respectable parsons re siding in the district, who recommended the applicants se fit and proper objects for the bounty of the public who have contributed to the poor fund. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said his cupboard was already full of similar forms, and that it would take him several days to examine them, ►nd inquire into their authenticity. No more forms would be issued until nest Friday fortnight. The crowd then quietly dispersed. Mr. Partridge and Mr. Paget were closeted together from 10 until balf.past 11 considering as to the best means of relieving this enormous amount of distress, for which the lands at their disposal are quite inadequate.

The circumstances of this cue were described in the re port, which eppe&r ed in yesterday's Express, of the inquest on the d soesesd On the prisoner =rendering to his bail, Mr. A. Haynes, solicitor, of Wandsworth, said be again appeared to defend. Mr. Butt watched the case on behalf of the police. Mr. Taylor (chief clerk)—ls there any fresh evidence ? Mr. Butt—Yes, the medical evidence. Mr. Richardson was then called to the box to give ••ideate. Before he was examined, Mr. Butt informed the magistrate that an inquest had bees held, and an open verdict returned. As the evidence was originally taken before Mr. Ingham, sad as Mr. Hayman now presided, he ordered the evidence of the doctor to be read over. The witome also repeated the evidence he gave before the coroaer. By Br. Haynes—He could not say that the instrument canoed the injury. An instrument similar to it would pro duce the injury. He never heard of a woman using au in strument herself to procure abortion. He thought it would be impossible. if it had been, he should say it was a very dexterous thing. Mr. Haynes—That may be ; women are sometimes very clever. ifirliewituess also said that in his opinion the deceased was' pregnant when the force was used. Butt said the inquiry was still going on, but he had been unsuccessful at present in making the connecting link between the prisoner and the deceased. Mr. Daman said no evidence had been produced to con nect them. Mr. Batt said they had received information es to the person who introduced the deceased to the prisoner, and he expected to obtain further evidence. Mr. Dayman then remanded the prisoner fir another week, and enlarged his bail. Neatly 1,000 persons travelled on the railway between Ryde and Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight, on Christmas-day. A writer in the Hants A teertiser gives a list of spying and summer flowers that were to be seen in unpro tected gardens at Ventoor, in the Isle of Wight, on Christaiss.day. In this list are mentioned geraniums, fuchsia, caloisolarias, stocks, roses, violets, pansies, mig wonstte, jamming., convolvulus, heliotropes, verbenas, French marigolds, Cape asters, orange oleander, myrtle, prim• roses, carnations, and green peas and apple trees in bloom ; second crop of ripe ties, new potatose, an I green apples were also to be seen. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY CARRIAGE WOILKS.—At the quarterly meeting of the members of the Oxford Town Council (under the preeideocy of the Mayor), which was numerously attended, Mr. Alderman 3rubb asked the town clerk whether it was definitely settled that the carriage works of the Great Western Railway Company were to be transferred from Paddington to Cropley Meadow, bear Oxford, stating as his reason for the interrogation that, notwithstanding the repeated assurances from various members of the corporation that the directory, with the concurrence of the shareholder', had selected the neigh bourhood of Oxford for the transfer, it was now resolved that the whole of the works should be taken to Swindon. An angry and protracted discussion followed, in which the committee appointel to confer with the company were declaimed against , or what was called an incorrect repre sentation of fact., and the statement of the town clerk was that, whereas the city authorities had contributed their Imitators to the necessary documents for the completion of the contract, the company's solicitors (Messrs. Young and Co.) had neglected to subscribe their signature, alleging that they shall requite more land than originally contemplated, led that they 6113001 proceed with the negotiations without being invested with additional parliamentary powers. The delay that mod thus be occasioned, even it the company Wee to abide 3y their previous arrangements, has caused counderable tueaainess to the citizens, more particularly with regard to those who have entered upon building spe culations for tie acoommodation of the 2,000 employta wise were expected to be there located.

KATHARINE'S DOCK. LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) Themes, 12 o'Cr.ors. The fire continues to burn fiercely within the rains of the huge warehouses of the. St. Katharine'. Docks, which were clest . royed in the course of yesterday afternoon and early this morning. The stack of buildings which lest fell a prey to the flames appears to have suffered the greatest havoc. The end warehouses ►ave been gutted, probably owing to their containing a more inflammable stock than the other divi sion'. The brigademen have continued their operations without the least intermission throughout the night, and the brave fellows seem much fatigued. However, they retain their post,with Captain Eihaw,the superintendent, in attendance. The steam land and floating engines con tinue in full play. The firemen remark that they seldom had a more difficult fire to contend with. At one time it was imagined that they bad got the coaflagration under, when it suddenly as sumed a fearful aspect in a new direction. Had there not been app between the and of D warehouse and E ware house, fronting the entrance of the London Dock, it is impounds to tell what would have been the consequence. The loss of property, it is stated, will exceed 150,000!., but at present it is difficult to state what will be the total- The deluge by water alone must prove very considerable. It is not known accurately whether the vaults, with their very valuable stock of wines and spirits, have at all suffered. The dock officials, however, took every possible precaution to protect them from the rush of the water. The origin of the Eire occupies the deepest attention, and the directors are this day institutiag the roost minute inquiry into the whole circumstances. There are several mysterious reports, but whether there is any truth in them remains to be seen. Mr. Mumford, the heed of the Dock polio., and other officials, have sweaty left the spot since the outbreak, mad, as may be imagined, the conflagration has nearly exhausted all employed about the place. It will be mum days before the flee is subdued. An imams) crowd has thronged the approaches to the Dock, but there hen been a strong body of the H division of police to keep the roadway clear. _ . Two O'CLOCK P.M. It now appears that the officials of the docks and the ' chief officers of the Fire Brigade believe two of the ware. houses were wilfully set on fire. Captain Shaw and his four superintendents are convinced that, with the force of engines brought into operation on the fire yea. terday in the warehouses F and H, the conflagration was stopped about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The Dock authorities are equally satisfied, having visited all the loon of the adjoining warehouses lettered I and H. and seen that the property in them had not sustained any damage. Captain Shaw left the docks about 7 o'clock last night with this impression, but about half. past 9 o'clock he received information of two fires making their appearance simultaneously in the warehouses I and S. At the time this was written, all the engine' were thunder. lug away and throwing tons and tons of water without producial any visible effect. The loss of property is given out at 250,0001. THE APPOINTMENT OP THE RECORDER OF LEEDS ON THE JAMAICA COMMISSION. At a meeting yesterday of the Leeds Town Council, the Tows Ctraz read the following letter from the Colonial Secretary : " Colonial Mee, Dec. 30, 1563. "Sir,—Her Majesty's government are desirous to secure the valu►ble services of Mr. Mauls, Recorder of Leeds, as a commissioner for inquiring into the recent lamentable occurrencies in Jamaica. I trust that the mayor and cor poration of Leeds will not object to this arrangement ; and if they consent to it, request that you will have the good ness to communicate with see, as to the provision which it will be necessary to make for the discharge of his duties as recorder during his absence from England. I have the honour to be, sir, your very faithful servant, "The Mayor, Leads." "EDWARD CARDWELL. Mr. Alderman KIMBALL moved that the mayor be re• quested to communicate with Mr. Cardwell, and inform him that the council would have plenum in complying with the request of the government. Mr. Alderman LUCCOCK, in seconding the motion, said be thought the government, in selecting Mr. Mauls, had made a wise choice. He had no doubt the result of the inquiry would be satisfactory to the country. The three gentlemen who were joined on the commission were well able to discharge the duties which had fallen to them, and their inquiry would be impartial and just. It was honour►ble to the town that their worthy Recorder should have been appointed, though he (tar. Alderman Lucerne k) should be exceedingly sorry if the climate were to injure his health. Mr. Mauls would probably return in March, so that the inconvenience resulting from his absence would only have effect on the remaining business of the present sessions. The resolution was carried. ail 100 100 I 100 leo SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) ONE o'CLoci. The railway market is quiet to-day, with limited operations.

The transactions in the stock markets today are limited, but prices generally show steadi nese. The English funds are quoted ex actly the same as on Saturday, and few variations have occurred in foreign bonds and British railway stocks. The latter, however, are rather firm in tendency, and Caledonian has advanced. Banking and financial shares are quiet, but a slight improvement is reported in London Financial The discount market is quiet to-day, and the supply of money large, but the rate for choice bills is still 7 per cent. Nevertheless, the tendency of the rates is slightly downwards, and, in the absence of large withdrawals of gold from the Bank, it seems probable that transactions will take place below the Bank minimum during i the next few days. Consols are now quoted 87 to 1, ex div., for money, and 871 to 1 for the account (Jan. 9). Few dealings have occurred in foreign btocks, and the movements in prices are unimportant. Greek and Mexican Bonds, however, are in de mand, and have risen i to 1 per cent. respectively. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz. :—Greek, 15k to 1 ; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 42 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 271 to 28 ; ditto Certificates, 15 to 1 ; Confederate, 6 to 8 ; Brazilian scrip, 11 to„ prem. ; and Mexican, 221 to 1, ex div. United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway shares are firmer, at 65/ to 1 and 571 to 58/, respectively. Illinois Railway shares are quoted Tei to 79/, ex div. International Financial shares are now quoted / to 1/ prem.; General Credit, 21 to / prem. ; London Financial, 4to prem. ; rial Mercantile, nto prem. ; Credit Foucier and Mobilier of England, 31 to 1 prem., ex all; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 6g to xd prem. - The shares of Charles Lafitte and Co. are quoted 21 to S prem. ; English and American Bank 1 to i prem. ; and London Steam Towing, li to 2 prem. _ ._ HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK. Consols are dull, at 87 to k, ex div., for money, and 87k, ex div., for the account. No bullion trausactions have occurred at the Bank. The new year having turned, and persons engaged in business being no longer so anxious to accumu late large balances at their bankers, the supply of money in the discount market has increased, but, as 7 per cent. continues to be the lowest rate for good bills, there was an active demand yesterday at the Bank of England. The Cornwallis has arrived from Sydney with I 61,500/. iu specie ; the Douro, from brazil, with 40,203/. ; the Hecla, from New York, with 38,0001.; and the Asia, from Boston, with 3,000/. The total is 142,7031. No gold ships are known to be now at sea from Melbourne, but the next Australian mail, due in London about the 13th inst., will announce fresh departures. The Mexican dollars by the steamer Seine were sold yesterday for China, at be. Old. per ounce, being the same price as that recently current. Owing chiefly to the receipt of telegrams from Bombay, under date the 29th ult., quoting the exchange at 2s. 10., or id. below the rate last to hand—thus showing a movement in favour of England—the silver market is rather flatter, and transactions were reported to-day at the reduced price of ss. lid. _ _ Subjoined is a comparison of the present posi tion of the Bank and the price of Consols with the same date of last year : _ . At present. £13,403,1n2 Same time last year. /Z 14,100.974 Bank coin and bunion Bank referee of notes. ti.eri.sta 7 DK cent. n , ees;up 6 Per Cent. One of the chief facts established by this compari son is the continued fall in the prices of oar home government three per cent. stocks, which have again suffered during the year now closed to the extent of nearly 2} per cent., owing to the compe tition of so many other good investments offering much higher rates of interest. _ The A n.gto-Brazifian Times of Rio de Janeiro, under date of Dec. 8 (just receives'), has a most improper article on Brazilian railways, abusive of the board of the Pernambuco Railway, and the Daily News, which it most inaccurately insists is connected with the board in the remarks made under this head. Articles written in the spirit of this effusion are ill-calculated to advance that accommodation between the government and the railway company, which the interests of both require. The Anglo-Brazilian Times asserts that Mr. Benson has "openly declared" that it is not the interest of the board to promote the traffic of the line, although the traffic has iu seven months of last year increased by the sum of 14,0001. ; and iu spite of the fact that Mr. Benson has informed the shareholders that, by a small addition to the roll ing stock, which has been refused, the traffic might be increased four-fold. The truth appears to be, that if additional rolling stock to the extent of 15,0001. was sanctioned, the increase of traffic would be so large that the profit of the line would of itself provide a sum equal to the further gua rantee sought by the board, and provide without additional charge on the Brazilian Treasury a solu tion for all present difficulties. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 15th ult., were 12,9141., being 3371. more than in the correspond ing week of last year. The half-yearly meeting of the London Financial Association will be held on the 22nd inst., "to receive the directors' report and declare a dividend for the half-year ending the 31st of December." The third instalment of 20 per cent. on the ordi nary stock, dividend deferre-1, of the Great Northern Railway Company is payable on the 13th inst. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. announce the dividends on Grand Russian Railroad shares, and Buenos Ayres Sterling Six per Cent, and Deferred Bonds, payable on the 13th and 12th instant re spectively. They also notify the purchase and can celment under the redemption fund of Buenos Ayres Six per Cent. Bonds, amounting to 5,1001., and of Three per Cent. londs to the extent of 16500 f. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 11th instant for the supply of 50,000 gallons of rum, 2,500 bushels of oats, 10,00011 as. of pepper, and 100,000 lbs. of tea ; also on the 16tb, for the supply of British plate iron, for twelve mouths certain. The following, on the silk market, is from the circular of Messrs. Jacomb, Hogg, and Co., dated yesterday : Sion after the commencement of the past month the silk market became quiet, arid the extreme pnees quoted in our lest circular were no longer obtainable. Chins silk : Not withstanding the general indisposition to buy, importers ro mewed firm in their pret•osiees, and the wants of the trade were principally supplied from second hands. et prices a shade under previous rates. Japan silk was also for a time dull of sale, bat since receipt of the last advice. from Yokohama there bee been as Unproved demaad for the better descriptions, and prices are as firm as ever. The de. liveries for the month, 2.679 hales of Chios and 786 baler; of Japan, are bat meagre, sad show that notwithstanding the general prosperity of the trade, eonsumption is materially affected e xeeptiona rat now The China letters byt d he elivered on l the 27th ultimo bring dates from Shanghai to the 7th November ; the total settlements since lst June had amoueted to 36.400 bales of China and 6,900 hales of Japan. against 19,750 bales and 3,950 bales respectively at the same period in 1864. Prices had at one moment experienced a cossiderable advance (the quotation for No. 3 Tenths being egos) to 314- 6d. Per 1 1 x1, but had afterwards receded 15 to 25 Wile per picul. Un sold stock on the market was estintatei at 2,500 bales. The amounts from Japan ere important ; • very general opinion prevailed that the total export for the sewn would not exceed 10,000 to 12,090 hales, 41 which about 5,000 hales had already bees shipped. The grantee parties of the snares silk—Odin, Kuhn, he.—bard bees m ane d t o the interior for native s oonimpeoe. bates this balk of the recent settlements were Kibosh sad Sinchn, for which most exesedve rates were paid, the quotation for good Mihail: being equal to about 345. 6d. per lb. here. Bengal silk does net sell enrrently, though there has latterly been more demand for tie floor and filature sods. Italian silk is neglected, but as prima on the Contineot show a teadeacy to improve, we may fairly look for higher rata here before next season's silk can COMO to market. FATAL FALL OF A BALCONY AT DALSTOP. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Three Compasses Tavern, D•leton, touching the death of Mr. Francis Garlsnd, aged 56 year. Miss J. Garland, No. 20, Norfolk-road, Dalstos, said that the deceased was her father. He was a commercial traveller, but be had lately bees out of employment. On Saturday the deceased said that he would clean the front parlour window, and went out and stood on the balcony for that 'purpose. He leaned ag►inst the iron railing, and the balcony and the deceased fell into the area beneath with ► great crash. The back of the decse.ed came in contact with the stone copiog of the area, and he was dreadfully injured. He was picked up, and a doctor was cent for, but he died a short time after. Matthew Pope said that belying a loud crash be rushed to the area of No. 20, Norfolk.rosd, he there found the de ceased lying in an insensible state. The Portland stone balcony had been smashed to atoms and it presented the appearance of • mass of sand. The weight of the deceased had evidently proved too much for the strength of the balcony, which had only been supported by an iron cor nice at eac► end. A juror said that the baloookie in (Inaction were only made for ornament and not for tun. The heaviest weight that a Portland stone balcony would bear would be that of • number of flower pots. He had noticed sever►l servant girl/ standing on them, end their lives were always in dan ger. Dr. White proved that the canes of deemed'sdeath was injury to the spine. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Death having made several vacancies of late in the Sacred College, the Pope has at the present moment no fewer than 15 scarlet h►ts to dispose of. The appearance of the ladies' tribunes at St. Peter's on Christmas morning indicated that, if not quite so numerous uon other occasions, there are still • good number of foreigners now in Rome. The Pope officiated as usual, and, although rather pale. seemed—writes a core spondent—quite vigorous enough to get through the la boriously lengthy ceremonial. The pax f orate at 3 o'clock in the morning, end the silver trumpets at noon, proved as attractive as ever to the frequenters of the Vatican, and the extreme beauty of the weather brought the whole city on the move later in tbo day. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL. —Yesterday the names of the following reverend gentlemen, who have been ap. pointed by the Lord Bishop of London to preach at the cathedral on &today mornings during January were pub. lished :—Jan. 7.

THE GALE. --•-- DUNGENESS, KENT. DEC. 31. Two French fishing vessels were observed this morning driving out of Daemons Roads down a a lee shore off Dynchurch, sod whoa o•e at them was sees she was near the breakers, and it was feared that she would became • wreck. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was thereupon at once launched and proceeded to her assistance. It was blowing • gals of wind from the S.W. and raining at the time. Oa nearing the vessels the anchor was let go, there being mush a heavy sea running the lifeboat could not get alongside. However, after great difficulty, the boat managed to get on the quarter and took out the crew, *insisting of sir men and • boy, sod proceeded to the shore. Before reaching the beach the bfeboat was struck by three heavy seas, which filled her twice, washing the Preach boy overboard, but on his passing the toes pulling the after oars, they reached him and dragged him into the lifeboat again, sad suceeeded Is lauding all eels. The lifeboat remained on the beach opposite the other French vessel until 4 o'clock to see it she dragged her anchors say further. but observing that she did sot. and the weather becoming finer, refereed to her station. The name of the vessel to which this service was rendered by the life boat was the Dieu Protege Alesandro et Leio, of Dieppe. The weather was very trying for the moo the whole of the day, but the lifeboat and her crew behaved throughout remarkably well. Au interesting experiment was tried on Saturday at the Dijon railway terminus with a system of electric bells applied to a railway train of paroeneer carriages. It com pletely succeeded. A communication betwees each of the carriages and the compartment ones pied by the head conductor of the train was instantly effected by merely pressing button attached to one of the partitions of the carrier. SHORTHAND WRITERS' INSTITUTE.—The short hand writers, who it appears have followed the example of other professional bodies, and formed for themselves an Institute, herd their first meeting oo Saturday last. at the Law Institution, Mr. IL H. Tolcher in the chair. The ob ject of the iostitution is to protect the interests of the pro fession, improve its status, and render the services of its members still more efficient. This it is proposed to do by requiring all future candidates for admission to the society to pass an examination which shall test their ability as properly qualified shorthand writers. Scarcely an act of parliament ceoneeted with legal procedure is now passed without the iosertion of • clause authorising the appoint. meat of offic4il shorthand writers as a necessary accompa niment to the amended procedure. Under the Bankruptcy Act. 1861, three gentlemen were appointed to the Bank ruptcy Court ; and the convenience and economy, both of time and money, which have resulted has led to the liner- Coo of similar chimes in several pending bills. Mr. G. B. Snell was unanimously elected president of the society.

THE ROYAL LIBR•ET AT WINDSOR.--Risoe the time of George IIL little has been done to incenses this part of the art.tresseres of the Royal Library at Windsor. But under the direction of his Royal Highness the Prince Con sort, the rearrangement, and indeed the reconstruction, of the collection of drawings (which had been deposited in a very lonely, obscure place, and in fact were left quite unarreard) has bees commenced, and is making steady though not rapid progress. The object kept is view is the bringing of every drawing of substantial value and interest into such a condition that it may be as little liable es can be to moil and injury ; the careful and con. scientious determination of the genuine parentage of each, and the classification of the whole by ontintriss and in order of time. And, seeing that so vast an accumulation of drawings could, end therefore, according to the Priam Consort's manner of regarding things, ought to be made available for the instruction and gratification of all cos• corned or interested is art, it was the purpose of his Royal Highness that, as far as possible, access to the collection, with the object of study, should be facilitated; that the choice drawings should be exhibited at the soirees and conscientious' of literary, scientific, and artistic societies: and that photographs of the best drawings should be pub. liahed as cheaply as they could be produeed. And arrange-- manta are advancing for the carrying out of all these roost enlightened designs.—B. B. Woodward, Esq., P.S.A., in the Gentleman's Maritime.
