Some of them were produced at the trial, and it transpired that Coappins had produced the regular invoice of the firm when be pledged them, and being personally known to Mr. Attenborongh as the servant of Mr. Cook, no suspicion was excited.

They were st. admitted into the house, when they created a disturbance gL and used disgusting language. They were drunk, and the et. master ordered him to put them outside the gate. et. Their oonduct was so bad that no person could remain 110 in the wawa ward, their disgusting epithets being to applied to all. He succeeded is removing them, and they remained at the gate creating a very great it. disturbance. Some of the inhabitants complained, and tit sent for the police.

MIS. PHIPPS. Robert brlfeloin,, a man about 43 years of age, was t o n placed at the bar &amid with stealing several articles at st. plate and value from the Hon. Mn. Phipps. Mr. Lewis, of °rest Marlborongh-street, 20116602, 20 said that he was instructed to meliorate in this St. ease. The prisoner had been butler in her sec- / 31 .., vice, and stolen the plate sod other articles " from her town residence, 7, Eaton-place, Pimlico. He had formerly been in the service of the family tro during Mr. Phipps' lifetime, and great confidence VS having been reposed in him, he was subsequently re-00- 10 pgsd by Mrs. Phipps, in February, 1865, and remained 51, - until last January, when he suddeoly absconded without giving any notice of his intention to leave. Shortly after- 20 wards it was discovered that a number of articles gi, were missing, and that the prisoner had been unworthy 60 of trust. Inquiries were made for the missing pro- too party, which bad been in the prisoner's charge, and be 100 subsequently sent the duplicates of the property he bad i t . pawned to the Hon. Mrs. Phipps in a letter. As he was 8t a men with a large family there was no desire to prey the pc =Oar with severity, but certainly some punishment 3t ought to be indicted upon the prisoner for the offence be St bad committed. The Hon. Mrs. Phipps was then examined to the above _ effect. Charles Hatchineon, pawnbroker's assistant, produced e number of articles, which were all identified by the lion. Mrs. Phipps as her property. They were very hardsorne. A policeman mid be went last night to the prisoner's residence and apprehended him on this charge. lie at first asked who bad set these proceedings io metier, acd thee at last pleaded guilty to the amnia with whi ch he was abused, sod said be was very sorry for it.

MONEY lIABILET.—MIHS DdY•) Cu tfOrnots There is less business in the stock markets to-day, and the general tendency is somewhat flatter. Prices in most cases, however, are quoted the same as yesterday. A fall of per cent., which occurred in the funds in the morning, has since been recovered. Most of the chief British railways are without change, but a slight reduction has taken place in some foreign stocks. The shares of the financial and discount companies are steady. The slight reaction now observable might reason ably have been looked for after the recent con tinuous rise in quotations. The discount market is quiet to-day, yet the rate for choice paper is 8 per cent. A few transactions are reported at 74, but these are quite exceptional. In the Stock Exchange short advances on English government securities are not obtainable below 7 to 8 per cent. As was anticipated In most quarters, no alteration has been made to-day in the Bsnk of England rate of discount. Consols are now quoted 874 to for money, and 874 to for the account (March 8). The transactions in the foreign stock market are upon a reduced scale, and some of the speculative descriptions, including Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, Brazilian scrip, and Mexican have declined per cent. The quo , tatkna are es follows :—Greek, 1S to 1 ; Mexican, 224 to 1; Spanish Passive, 261 to 27 ; ditto Certificates, 151 to 16 ; Turkish, 1865, 384 Ito ; Brazilian scrip, 11 to preen. ; Egyptian ecrip, ft to prem. ; and Italian, 1861, 604 to 614. American securities are firm, and an advance of per cent. has occurred in 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Railway shares. The present prices are as fol lows :-.-5-20 Bonds, 674 to 68 ; Erie Railway shares, 524 to ; and Illinois Central, 754 to 1. International Financial shares are now quoted 3-16 to 5-16 prem., ex div. ; General Credit, 13-16 to 15-16 prem., ex div. ; London Financial, 21 to 24 die., ex div% ; Imperial Mercantile, to prem., ex div. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, 34 to prem. ; Overeni, Gurney, and Company, 41 to prem. ; and Joint Stock Discount, 64 to 54 die. The shares of Charles Laffitte and Co. are nominally quoted 3 to 3} prem., and Mout Ceuis Railway 1 to 14 prem. Apart from the movement arising out of the half-monthly settlement, which was completed yes day, the pressure for money seems to have been pro- moted by the fact that some of the dealers have over-supplied themselves with stock, in the expectation that the government broker would this week have resumed his purchases for the sinking fund. But as leans on Consols still command such high rates, it is difficult to avoid the inference that the recent purchases of that stock have been merely speculative, and that the public have not yet been impelled to relieve the market of the floating surplus. The mail from Guayaquil has bought a remit tance of 1,2701. 9s. 4.d. on account of the dividends on the debt of Ecuador. It appears that, in reply to a letter of inquiry from a Mexican bondholder, Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have intimated to him that they have instructed Mr. Glennie, as their (Messrs. Baring's) representative, " to attend to the interests of the bondholders;" and that they have also "taken such other steps as appeared advisable under the circumstances." No bullion transactions were reported at the Bank yesterday. During the week 111,0001. has been sent in, while no withdrawals for export have taken place. The Germania, from New York, has brought 32,0001. in specie for England. The arrival of three ships from Melbourne was also announced to-day : the Yorkshire has brought 60,0001., the Pride of the Ocean 45,5001., and the Oder Pasha 27,0001. The aggregate of the day's supplies is 164,5001. Including these there is about 270,0001. lin gold to be disposed of, the whole of which, it is expected, will be sent into the Bank during the next few days. The Midland Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,1341. over the corresponding week of last year ; the London and North Western an increase of 6,0421.; the Great Eastern an increase of 1,3761. ; the Great Northern an increase of 8721. ; the Great Western an increase of 2,8471.; and the London and South Western an in crease of 2,0271. The annual general meeting of the Commercial Union Assurance Company will be held on the 6th of March. The half-yearly meeting of the North-Western and Charing-cross Railway Company will be held on the 28th inst. ; and that of the Danube and Black Bea Railway and Kustendjie Harbour Com pany (Limited), on the same day. The half-yearly meeting of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway Company is convened for the 28th inst., at the London Tavern. The annual meeting of Price's Patent Candle Company (Limited) is called for the 22nd inst., when a dividend will be declared. Petitions for the winding up of the British and Foreign Granite Company (Limited) are to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Wood on the24th inst. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Bombay, with the London mails of the 19th and the 26th of November, was spoken with, all well, on the sth of January. The Mooltan, with the London mail of Dec. 10, left Point de alle on the Bth of January, en route to Calcutta. The Betiares, with the London mail of Dec. 10, sailed from Point de Galls on the 7th of January for China. The subjoined report upon the bullion market is from the circular of Messrs. Sharps and Wilkins : The general aspect of the bullion market Les much altered MOOS we last addressed you.

Mexican dollars are still without inquiry for Chios, and have therefore cartitsipated to a greet extent in the fall a nd the value of silver. A considerable amount is at present on the market, which will in all probability be sold to tbe refiners. The nominal price is 4s. Md. to 4e. !lied. per oz. The late advance in the French ezehaere will prevent any shipment of gold to the continent, and it is expected that the whole of the American and A u stralian arrivals will be disposed of to the Bank of England.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. After Term Nisi Prins sidlop at Gailihan.—(Before the Lord Chid Judie* and Spada' Juke.) WiLValt V. MILN7.2. The further hearing of this cave was resumed this morn ing. Mr. Rigby Seymour, Q.C., Mr. J. Brown, Q.C. Mr. Pearce, and Mr. Butler Rigby were counsel for the plaintif ; Mr. James, Q.C., Mr. Webster, Q. 0., and Mr. T. Jones wen counsel foe the defendant. Mr. Hopley deposed—l was foreman and salesman to the defendant in 1818, at the establishment in Moorgate-street. When the plaintiff came to me to purchase a safe he had printed list of our safes given to hint. The list comprises four descriptions of boxes and safes. There is a fifth des cription called a double banker's safe. When the plaintiff came with his sos to the shop they asked to look at some safes, and I gave them a list of prices. They looked at it, and I believe he was going to 'elect _ • if, from list No. 2. He said he wasted it for eraVaies sad je;elleri, and i thea ream mended him ooe on UM 3. He sighed me if I could re - cOr;Mqrndii,iiilr;plied -17 d;;;d7dly,iapieferenoe to list 2." That wu all that reseed at the first interview. They came again and Mr. Walker then said that he would take a sate from list 3 if I Gould reoommeod it. Ultimately that safe was purchased. Safe 3 was described as thief resisting, and up to that time I had not heard of them failing either with regard to fire or thieves. I don't know that Mr. Walker was shown a safe in list 4. That wu • moth better safe, and considerably dearer. Something was said about having holes in the shutters and gas burning at night, but I cannot recollect what it was. By the Lord Chief Justios—l did not understand from Mr. Walker that the premises would be loft at night with out anyone sleeping there. Witmer's continued—Mr. Walker said the safe was to be pissed in • reeves, and that that was why he selected • long narrow one, and it was fixed there. Mr. Walker selected the particular sized safe. When I heard of the burglary I went to the plaiotiff's shop and saw one of Mr. Walker's sou. I examined the safe, and found that it must have been opened with great force. I saw at least thirty marks on it made by • crow-bar or • chisel. The bolts were not quite shot back. I asked for the key, and I was asked what I wanted it for. I said it appeared to me as if the bolts were not back, and Mr. Walker's nos said the key was of no good. Afterwards he let me have the key, and I used it without difficulty. I was under the impression that the safe bad not been looked over night. By the Lord Chief Justice—Then, why did you think so force had been used to open it! Witnsee—Well, that was my impression at the time. The marble mantel piece was chipped, and it was thought by one of Mr. Walker's son's that it must have been used to assist the leverage. I don't remember Mr. Walker asking me if the safe was thief proof, and if he bad I should have told him that we never gave • warranty. I did not say that I could warrant it. Be might have asked me if it would be safe in him to leave his valuable property in the safe. I did sot war rant the safe. I have no authority from the defendant to warrant the safes, in fact I am striotly prohibited in writing from giving warraote. (A letter dated May 14, 1856, was put in prohibiting him from giving s warrant.) I never warranted a safe to anyone. Cross-examined by Mr. Seymour—The prospectuses axe sent to me from Liverpool ; they are often reprinted with additional letters from purchasers approving of the safes. I cannot say it we bad a different prospectus from those produced when the plaintiff purchased the safe. I told Mr. Walker that his property would be perfectly safe in this safe. I did not uuture it. I never held it out to the public. Kr. Seymour—ln the list you call the attention of wateli maker sod others that by the use of sole No. 3, perfect gaiety from fire and thieves is insured. The Lord Chief Justice—That doss not mean the same as words in a policy of ignorant* or • warranty of that kind. Mr. James—And this prospectus was issued subsequent to the burglary. Mr. D. Seymour---The prospectus contains s letter dated January, 18M, a mouth before the burglary. Mr. jones—lt is in all probability • misprint, for the letters before and after it ere dated 1864. Witness—l cou'Ltezif this particular prospectus was issued before the Mr. D. Seymour—ln prcepectas the words used are, "by the use of which perfect security from fire and thieves ' Jammed,' sad in a subsequent prospectus after the burglary the words are changed to " strongest security." The Lord Chief Justice--What is the date of that prospectus Witness—Mareb,lB6s. The Lord Chief Justice--The safe having been broken open, it was wesssary to modify the language or it would have been a fraudulent representation. It was thoraces aseecoary to cheep the phrase. Witness—Mr. Walker said he wanted a good sae and I recommended him one of No. 3. I believe he said his pro perty was of great value. Mr. Walker did not tell me that the ale would be left from Saturday to Monday. I cannot swear that I superintended the fixing of the safe. I think sot I do not recollect if • policeman said to me in Mr. Walker's shop after the burglary that it was absurd to talk about the bolts of the lock, seeing the force that had been used to open the safe. I supplied Mr. Berdoe. outfitter in Cornball, about the time Mr. Walker purchased his. It was • safe of the same clan as Mr. Walker's. I don't recollect Mr. Berdoe'e saying be wanted one that would secure his property from the Saturday to the Monday. I did not warrant that sale. I did sot tell him it was fire and thief , - proof, and that no thief could break it epee. Mr. James was then heard on the improbability of such a warranty bead being given, and Mr. D. Seymour on the other aide ; after which the Lord Chief Justice proceeded to sum up, and his lordship bad not concluded when our report COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. for Hr. Hommioaoaor Haroyd.)

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.) At a special court of Common Council holden this morning at Guildhall, under the presidency . of the Loan MATOft, Mr. R. N. Philippe said that s eeing the chairman of the Markets Improvement Committee in his place, he would take occasion to ask him a question of very considerable importance at the pre. sent juncture. What he wished to knew was whether the committee had taken steps to establish a more extensive system of slaughtering cattle in the Metropolitan market, with a view to prevent the necassity of driving cattle through the public streets, and thus possibly spread. incthe . prevailing fearful epidemic. Mr. MIMI, the chairman of the Markets Im. provement Committee, said he was very glad to give the court all the isformation in his power upon the subject. At present there was accommodation for slaughtering about 500 head of cattle per day at the pew market, but the committee had takes into their consideration the pr op riety of establishing • much larger slaughter-house, to be the sleughterhoune of the corporation ; in fact, their object was to establish abattoirs, where a very much larger number of cattle could be cooveniestly slaughtered, and any butcher or other person who chase to do so, might avail kilovolt of the ass. coonnodatioss thus effordeil. Alderman WATILLOW said be would take the opportunity of asking another question of the chairman. which was whether any steps had been taken under the powers of the set of parliament of last newton to conv the two large hotels at the Metropolitan Market ert which had been hitherto made no useful purpose of whatever, into improved dwellings for the labouring °leases. Mr. RUM= replied that the buildings had been advertised. and they bad been let on a lease for 21 years to a society established for the purpose le to by the Id worthy alderman. The court then proceeded to the business ea the paper. EUROPEAN BANE (LIMITED.)-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the shareholders took place at 1 o'clock at the London Tavern, Sir B. W.
