The trial of the prisoners was resumed this morning. Mr. All:ride, the partner of Mr. Frazer, the insurance broker, was called to prove the circumstances connected with the effecting of the different insurances, confirming the te , tinitty of that gentleman. He also proved that Holilsworth, after the loss of the Severn, handed to Mr. Tl'llride the fictitious l og -b oo k an d the other papers neces sary to make out the claims upon the different insurance offices. In cross-examination the witness said that he always considered Hohlaworth acted as a broker in the transaction. Mr. Douglas, another insurance broker, gave similar testimony, and he also said that Holdsworth appeared merely to .t us a broker, and he was considered a respect able Juan iii the City. Couzens, a Liverpool detective, proved that he was ac quainted with Berwick and Holdsworth at Liverpool, and that after the loss of the Severn he made inquiries but could not find either of them. He also stated that the first time he went to Ifoldsworth's office there were a great many papers lying about, but when he went again they were all gone, and fragments of burnt paper were lying about. Webb, the officer, was the next witness, and he proved that he made a search for Berwick and Holdsworth, but could not find either of them. Berwick at first denied that he knew anything about the Severn, and refused to go without seeing the warrant, but he afterwards said he supposed he Lad better go, and he then inquired whether the captain was in custody, and whether the officer knew ',there Holdsworth was. When he was searched 23/. were found upon him. It appeared that when Lean was apprehended he declared that he was innocent, and said that all he had done was done b 7 the direction of Holds worth, and that he expressed his readiness to tell all he knew about the matter, and that after the for of tic Severn he Wet him in St. Paul's Churchyard and he told him that there woo a great row about the caeca of firearms, and that he must do the best he could fur haevalf. Evidence was also given of the apprehension of Webb, anal that he said he was innocent, and that he had lost 170/. by the sinking of the vessel, and also of the ap prehension of the prisoner Holdsworth at Basle, in Swit zerland, and that he expressed hie willingness to go back to England, and declared that he was innocent of the charge made against him. John Mark Bull, another detective officer, proved that he searched Hoblaworth's private resid ence at Bayswater, and that he found a diary in the water-closet, in which there was an entry of Holdsworth's having been at Newport on a particular day in company with Lerwick and Captain !Ryland. ( hie ur two other witnesses, whose evidence was not very il, were then eawniined, and this closed the case for the prosecution. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) WORSHIP STREET. florlPPrtr or A rro.i.wr H.isperh, clerk to Mean. Hincks, the well kiew il solicitors of King-street, Finsbury, was charged with r!ealing the loonies of his employers. Mr W. T. Marriott appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Vinn defended the prisoner, who was brought up in th, c Istody of warrant officer Haines, O division. The eolinsei having stated the outlines of the case, oh r‘ad that the present proceedings were conducted purely upon public grounds. Mr. John Steer Hincks then gave evidence fully sup- P.rt , l by witnesses from which it appeared that prisoner .! ken in his service since February, Irsil ; that his princip a l duties were to serve subprenas, and pay the con dict money to witnesses - that in the early part of f''"" , oo r last witness had the conduct of • case "Hr-blew v. Slobie," and that prisoner was in- F' , '.4.4 by Mr. Ganiiile Sheppard, the mng to serve suhpenas in that cause ;th a t such purposes he received on the 2-Ith of 's'eniles- pending the trial, 2/., and on the 2Gth, ; that the list of names were in his handwriting, as the dates • with one exception that on the 27th he in an account of the money alleged to have been liuu, and returned It. :is. fel. as the balance of the Suspicion of the prisoner's having withheld that he ought to have paid as mentioned was first by Mr. H incks receiving a letter on the very eve of tr.al from a lily witness named Ablett. Prisoner was 2 , ; ! ,1 to explain, and he pointed to her name in the list. ; • :":. " Why, she is p a id you have her receipt." ° ciry was nevertheless instituted, and it became maul !. that several other important witnesses had been 1p l avc ' l I'v prisoner to sign the list and receive their -Ir • na without payment of the conduct money—in most 21s. Various subterfuges and excuses were to effect this, but the prisoner, on being shown A l .h tt . " letter, node all haste to repair his fault, by -'::he witnesses the money lie should have given them sul.poii, and begging that the delay might not to his master ; in one instance, however, he Late to pay before the trial, yet, having aacertained THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVMMG, FEBRUARY 2, 1867. that 31t. 'fleas haul acquired a knowledge of that fact, awl p.titl the money himself, he induced the WittIONI to again n•c.•ive the amount and promise that he would say it had kern left at his house unknown to him. Mr. Vaion admitted thaitheprisoners conduct had been most censurable, but contended that not any felony was Colllllllittcd, awl that there existed no proof of his client having purposely robbed his employer ; what he really had been guilty of was most unjusti fi able delay, for which he now (clean penitence. Not any of the persons referred to were lasers by his irregularities. Mr. Ellison remarked that this was really an important 'natter, likely, but for Mrs. Ablett's letter, to have been followed by most pernicious consequences. The prisoner niust stand his trial at the Old Bailey, but might put in laid of two sureties in 301. each and his own in double th.it amount. GREENWICH. 4: Lt . vi:st CAPTURE anret. iirreeer..

Gilbert Grant, gardener to Mr. Mead, said a boy employed on the premises called his attention to having heanl a noise in the harness-room of hie masters stables, and said he was sure it was that of a man's foot steps. Witness entered the stable, ascended a staircase into the harness-room. and thence into another room, where tools and other articles valued at about :411. were kept. On looking round he saw something move behind some sacking, and called out for whoever was concealed there to come out. After some time the prisoner presented himself, and was detained and given into custody. Pearoian, P division, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody, and to finding in his possession Ms. of sheet lead and a .ivantity of bones and rags. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was a col lector of such articles as were found in his possesioa. and moored the magistrate he was entirely innocent of having had any felonious intention, the fact being, he said, he was carrying a bird in his hand which flew away and entered the window of the room in which he was found, and which he entered to re-eapture the bird. (Laughter.) A constable of the B division identified the prisoner as Leine well known about Westminster, and said he believed he bad been convicted.

STRANGE DIS(•OVERY OF A BUNDLE CON TA !NINO CHILDREN AT KENNINGTON OVAL. INQUINTS.--fTHIS DAY,) This forenoon, Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquiry at the Ge orge Tavern, Carlisle. street, Westminater.read, touching the supposed murder of two new-born children, found tied up in a parcel in Kennington-oval. Henry Reeves, a house painter, said that on Thursday last, at half-past o'clock, he was walking through the Kennington-oval, going to his work, when he observed • bundle tied up in canvas, lying on the footpath, near the clergyman's house. He partially opened it, and saw that it contained the body of a child. There was no person in sight at the time. He waited till some one came up, and then sent for the police. Police-sergeant Frederick Greenfield, 17 L, said that when he came up he found the body of one of the chil dren quite warm. He took the bundle to the divisional surgeon, and there it was found that there were twochildren in the bundle, one • male and the other a female. The sur geon said that they had not been long born ; but one was longer dead than the other—perhaps a couple of hours altogether. The children had not been surgically attended at birth. They sere wrapped up in an old calico night dress. There were no marks on the night-dress or the canvas. Witness considered that the parcel could not have been brought very far, because the body of one child WAS quite warm. The bundle had been tied up in • great hurry. He could not trace the guilty parties. The coroner's officer deposed that there were no marks of violence on the bodies. They were fully developed children. The jury returned n verdict " That the children were found dead ; but whether they were born alive, and if so, bow they came by their deaths, there were no means to show." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE SMALLPDX IN LONDON. —Yesterday the an nual meeting of the governors of the Small-pox Hospital was held in the hoanl-room of the institution, at High gate-hill. and some facts with regard to the prevalence of this terrible disease in the metropolis were elicited. From the report of the medical officer it appeared that a much larger number of patients had been admitted during the year 1866 than in any other year since the foundation of the hospital in 1746, and the excess was looked upon as enormous. The excess of admission■ in the last year over either of the three preceding years had been essentially due to the persistencs of epidemic causes. The numbers admitted during the year 1866 were 2.069, being an excess of 23 per cent. over 1i463, the year of largest admissions prior to last year. This was a ratio out of all proportion to the eateusion of the metropolis and the augmentation of the population. The smallpox epidemic which was now prevailing without any sign of cessation had really commenced in London so far back as 1862 and had con. finite.' with varying degrees of intensity up to the pre sent time. The numbers admitted in 11.€1 were 1,537 ; in 1844, 836 ; in 1565 they were 1,249, and last year as before stated, 2,069. Of 9,037 of the last-mentioned number 421 occurred to persons who had not been vaccinated, and three of the eases were to persons who had before suffered. In the course of the year there bad been 271 deaths, 152 of which were of persons who had not been vaccinated, so that 151 of the unvaccinated died as against a per centage of 71 (117 out of 1,603) in the vaccinated persons, or, deducting 10 deaths in this class from antecedent or superadded disease, the per center of this class was only 61. In the year. 3118 persons had been vaccinated at the hmpital and 580chaiges of lymph supplied to members of the medical profession. On the motion of the chairman, Mr. Samuel Turner, the report was adopted. The Earl of Harrowby was elected! president,the Bishop of London, Lord Sberborne, and Mr. S. Turner were elected vice-presidents. The other officers were re-elocted. The usual vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. ORDINARY SHARER AND MUM. IRA I PS.

It forms part of a new route from London to Manchester, rid Redforl, Lei cester, and Trent, the opening of which wan postponed from November last, owing to some heavy slips;. The ' works on the new line were inspected on Tuesday by the government inspector, Captem Rich, who was amonipsaied by Mr. Needham, the line n supetedent, aud the engineer. The gradients of the new in Derbyshire were con sidered favourable, 1 in 90 being the steepest incline at each end of the Summit (Dove Holes) Tunnel. This was oue of the heaviest works on the line, being 23 miles in length, passing principally through limestone rock. It was stated that the new waa 23 miles thorter than the London and North-Western, and about n nines shorter than the Great Northern route. The telegraphic arrange ments were represented to be very efficient. At present the Midland Company are dependent on the (treat North ern between Machin and London for access to their Leicester and Ritchie Extension line. _ RAILWAY TRAFFIC RECEIPT.—The traffic re ceipts of railways in the United Kingdom atii.anttsl, for the week ending January 21i. on 12.7:14 =lea, to 611,312 f., and for the corresponding week of last year, on 12,49.4 miles, to 1i:13,152f., ~bowing an increase of VS miles and a decrease of 21,870 f.

MORALITY IN SPAIN.—Mr. Grant D•ltr re marks that " Spain retains less of the real 9.;rit of I'hriatianity than any other country." Taking morality to be the essence of Christianity, he might have Kai.' that the immorality of the Spaniard, more especially one par ticular tone of immorality, among the upper and lower classes of society, and of the priests, is far beyond that of any other European country. As one slight testimony of this, we may bring the sorrowful but solemn acknow ledgment of the archbishop of one of the largest provinces in Spain. that he only knew of two priests in his whole diocese besides himself who led decently chaste lives! While it is also worthy of note that no country in Europe, we believe, can show so enormous a proportion of found lings and foundling hospitals.—Cornhill Maya:ine foe February. t 11.1 fight the nirei an.l r fo ~led [aged I" ,rk fooa xua t to Ica' 16 yaO chant 'i .q i
