TIIE JANIAICA MASSACRE!4. 1:41W-STREET. - (TIM DAY.) Thii morning Mr. Fitzjatnes Stephen (wi;.ll Mr. Payne), instructed by Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe, to the chief magistrate, Sir Thomas Henry, for a ....wile to couitii.ind the attendance of the porter at the service 'ltth, to give evidence of the presence in 1,4 , 1••1 of Nelson, iu furthenince of the applies. wai r.itit :against that gentleman for the murder , • Mr. r;,....r4e Wrnimu Cordon at Morant Bay, Jatuaita, t:t.lsr, Thomas ty granted the summons. li.onol Desborough. of 1, Tennyson • 'Muth. deposed that he had seen Lieutenant Brand ar . ...111 the last few days goingl in and out of Lane's It a, I. m. -tlhan's•place, Regent-street. M-. Fitij tines Stephen -.lnd now, sir, it becomes my to -Ipply fur a warrant against Lieut. Brand. I wish t • •••• a., that nothing can he further from the wish of all • in this proceeding than that any personal mmHg • 't positively required by law, should be offered to a ; th,e gentlemen ; and iflany experience of those • Illure familiar with these matters could devise ro • by which these gentlemen could be spared the ition of being imprisoned, we should be most happy te consent to any Comm, that might be suggested. Thom is Henry -You mean with respect to Lai" Mr. stepli. at--With respect to bail or with respect to ; 111111 into Ctilitoily on a warrant. I don't know i..•;:ier any course as this might be adopted—if an could inform the accuse,' that a warrant was issued but that if he would give his word to appear it would nut b, executed, he would not absolutely taken into custody. Sir Thont. Ifenry—We could hardly entrust that to the officer who scrves the warrant. Itli. steplien—Sir, what we ate doing is likely to be re• girded as a harshjt is certainly a severe measure, and t:ere is no wish to add any unnecessary severity to what the law requires inthe interest of public justice. Sir Thomas Henry—At this stage of the procce.lin4s I purposely abstain from expre,.,iing any opinion beyond this, that I think you hare opened a sufficient ease to call for further inquiry, and that I shall issue the warrants you have applied for. And I take this opportunity of saying, if you will allow ine, Mr. Stephen, that you have opmied the c.c.*: with great ability and with great fairness. Mr. Stephen—l ant sure, sir, I wished to open it in • way consistent with respect to gentlemen placed in a very painful position awl to the court. And now, so., may I ask you whether you think it is competent to you to take Lail? Sir Thomas Henry—lt is competent, no doubt. It is not lion! in caien of murder, but then, this is quite an tt.Apt6acd CAN,. There ix no precedent, I may nay, for it. awl lion prelegred to deal with it exceptionally in that ..pect, with regard to bail. Tile No111;1107114 was then issued against 3. Laing, the port, r at the United Service Club. About au hour after the issue of the summons referred to Mr. Horne Payne and Mr. Sheen returned to the court, nut announced that the porter was in attendance. .1. Lang examined—l am hall-porter at the Senior United Service Club. I know Colonel Abercrombie Nelson, from seeing him there as a member of the club. I siw him there last on Saturday. He has letters addressed to him there. Ido not know him private residence. lie calls for his letters daily when in London. I know no other place where he is more likely to be found. sir T. Henry, upon this evidence, directed the war rant to issue against Colonel Nelson. With respect to Governor Eyre it is understood that he is willing to attend when and wherever required. loth warrants were then plated in the hand, of the warr.int officers of the court. Toe TIITEKARY CorNTV ELECTION. —T wo peti tions ratting to the Tipperary county election, one from Mr. Waldron, are printed with the parliamentary votes. Both pray that the return of the Hon. C. 'White may be de clared null and void, and Mr. Waldron be seated, on the ground that votes were obtained by means of intimidation, violence, duresse, and undue influence. Mr. Waldron com idnins in Id+ petition "that divers of the Roman catholic clergy, supporters and agents of the said Hon. Charles White, exercised their spiritual influence to conir•.l the choice of the electors, and Cu compel them to record their votes for the said Honourable Charles White, and to abstain from voting for your petitioner, and that the said undue influence so exercised as aforesaid interfered with and prevented the exercise of the right of voting of large numbers of the electors of the said county of Tipperary, who were ready and willing and had promised to vote for your petitioner the said Lawrence Waldron." THE GREAT EASTERN BLOWN OFF THE aRIIHRON. —(ruder the pressure of the gale yesterday morning some of the anchors drew from their holdings, and the Great Eastern drifted from the gridiron to the eastward—that is to say, nearer the centre of the Mersey--and grounded on the soft mud, where the receilMg tide left her, it is said," in couirarative safety." Various estimates are given as to the distance the chip dragged her anchors, the master of one tug asserting that it was at least 150 feet, and another shortening the distance to 40 feet. It is matter of con gratulation that the casualty was not more serious, for it is hardly possible to estimate the fearful amount of damage which might be occasioned by so ponderous vessel drifting amongst the shipping at anchorage in the Sloyne. A correspondent of the Mourhester Otrarcliam says it is believed that Sir William Erle, ex-Chief Jos tke of the 'onnuon Pleas, if waisted with those whom it is proposed to associate with him in the task, will act as the judicial president of the Commission on Trades' Unions. Lords Lichfield and Elcho and Mr. Roebuck are, he adds, amongst those designated as his colleagues. Sir l'rossley and Messrs. Mill and Hughes have likewise been invited to act. The case of Ecrc v. Sadleir has been decided at Dublin in favour of the defendant. The action arose out of a tranxiction in which the late John Sadleir was one of the principals, the disputed bill of exchange having been given in consideration of land purchased by him for the plaintiff. Mr. Mayer, the Mayor of Liverpool, has deter mined to present his splendid collection of antiquities and works of art to the town. The only stipulations which be has attached to his gift are that the collection shall hear his name and that it shall not be dispersed. The collec tion is valued at many thousands of pounds, but, in an ar tistic and antiquarian point of view (says the Lin !pool q.rrory), it is absolutely priceless. No amount of money could replace the Fawcett collection of Anglo-Saxon anti quities, and many of the illustrations of ancient and naedbeval art areequally unique. The government of Hesse has just accorded an indemnity of seven florins per day to the deputies who shall represent in the Cerman parliament that part of crindlnical Hesse which is incorporated in the northern union. General Enrique O'Donnell, brother of the marshal, has just received a passport at Madrid to leave Spain and go abroad. The ex-Minister of the Interior, M. Escositra, has likewise been handed one. llf the 4,,i8 candidates fur matriculation in the Bombay rniversity only 92 have passed, and great is the lana - .cation of young limulniy. Of who went up for th. little-go, - 21 passed ;of eight candidates, three ob tained B.A. ; and of three candidates, two passed the nr-t examination in civil engineering. The only two can. did des for the LL. B. degree passed. 1 Plea: OF IRON IN .t MAN'S EYE FOR TWELVE corresvonilent informs us that James Paterson, ixn r maker, at present working in Messrs. Earle's ship yirl, was euttrii out a countersink rivet from the shell of qc ,, a•vessel, ledng built in the yard of Messrs.

The following report and balance-sheet were presented : The director+. in submitting to the propylene... the A:dance-An-et of the hank for the half-year ending the :14 In n , tuber Lea, have the pleasure to report that, after paying all charges and interest to customers, and makiug ampb• provision for bad timl douhtful debt+, the net protits somoilit to 161,996/. I: 4 . This a dd e d t o 17 , 44 q. His. brought forwent from the last Recto' t , produces a total of 119,4071. Ils. lid. They recommend the payment of the usual dividend of 6 per cent., together with a bonus of x per cent. for the half-year, both free of income tax, which will absorb 10:1,000/., and leave 14,467/. lis. Q. to be carried forward - to profit anal loss new ac count. The dividend for the whole year 1866, will thus be 25 per cent. At the meeting in February, 1860, it was intimated to the proprietors that the directors proposed to increase the capital of the hank, and at the meeting in August, 1866, the proprietors ' by a resolu tion, adopted the recommendation of the directors. It will be proposed to act upon this resolution (which will require formal confirmation) by the issue of 12,500 new share+, to be offered pro rata amongst the proprietors as they appeared on the register on the 4th instant, the date when the transfer books of the company were closed, such shares to be issued at the price of 46 /. each, being a premium of 901. per share. The total number of shares will then be 50,000. Full particulars of the issue will be transmitted by circular to each proprietor. The directors have to announce the retirement of Edwanl J. Hutchins, Esq., and William Lee, Esq., M.P., from the direction, and the election of Hugh C. E. Childers, Esq., M.P., and Edward W. T. Hamilton, Esq., M.P., in their stead. The directors retiring by rotation are—Nathaniel Alexander, Esq. Thomas Tyringham Ilemani, F.sq., and William Nfool Esq. who, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. There la a va cancy in the anditorship, through the disqualification of Mr. Robert Emombe, and it is in the power of the meet ing to fill this up. The dividend and bonus (together 2/. Itie. per share) free of income tax, will be payable at the head office, or at any of the branches, on and after Monday, the 18th instant.

Ile. 3d. ' The eIIAIHMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that that was the first time he had occupied the chair, and he must entreat indulgence. At the meeting in August last, his colleague in the chair ermgratulated the shareholders on the state of the hank, and the manner in which it had passed through the recent crisis. He had to repeat those congretalatrons, and to say that the bank never stood n a better posi tion a result which was owing in a great de gree to the steady confidence and support of the shareholders. Hardly any of the shares sold last year belonged to old partners in the concern. (Cheers.) The amount due from customers' balances showed an in crease, and were in fact higher in the aggre gate than they had ever been before. (Cheers.) The acceptances now amounted to 1,500,000/., and he was happy to say that the bank had lost nothing under that head. Since the date of the accounts the amount in vested in government stock had been increased, and that was a policy which the board intended to adhere to. The management while exercising proper discretion hail been liberal to customers. The gross profit of the half-year, after making provision for bad and doubtful debts, was 319,000/. This was not quite as much as the amount in some previous half-years ; but considering the circum stances of the last few months, the result announced, in his opinion, was highly satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) This time last year the total number of accounts was ; in June, too, it was 48,634, and at Christmas last it was 50,383, showing an increase of 2,804 in the last year. He then referred to the proposed increase of capital from mom% to 1,000,000/.,and expressed his belief that it would bring additional business and prove beneficial to the company. He added that the new shares would be issued in the proportion of one new share to three old ones, and the issue price would bo 40/. per share. There would be five payments of 8/. each, extending over two years, and the first payment would be made on March 30, 1887. Any shareholder might, if he pleased, pay up in full at once, and in that ease he would at once share in the dividend and boon.. (Cheers.) After a short discretion the report was adopted, and the meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the directors, managers, and other officers of the bank. LION BREWERY (LIMITED).—(THIS DAY.) This day the ordinary general meeting of share holders was held in the Westminster Palace Hotel ; Mr. TROWFR in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congratulated the meeting on the results which had been obtained. The report was a faithful and honest transcript of the transactions of the half-yesur. He said this because it might give increased confidence to any timid shareholder* who might be in the company. He could assure them that they had invested in an honest and sound concern. They thought it right to devote par ticular attention to the town trade, and the result was en increase of ial per cent. They were not fortunate in ob taining any contract. , although they had tendered for every one, he believed. There was a sum of 11,000 f. for divi dend and that had been honestly earned. That would enable them to divide 8 per cent., but if they chose to intrude on the amount of 3,000/. which had been carried forward they could divide 10 per cent. But they preferred to keep that 3,000/. for a rainy dav if it should oome. (Hear, hear.) The plant and household property wee in firstrate order. The plant was estimated at 15,000 f., but it was worth much more. The article they manufactured gave satisfaction to all their cue tomers. He believed the property was of more value than when they took to it. The report, after a few remarks from Mr. White on the expenses of working, which were answered by the chair man, was adopted. A revolution author: sing a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. free of income tax, after providing 6 per Dent. interest on the preference *bares, was adopted. Mr. Hart was re-elected auditor. Mr. Trower and Mr. Whittingstall were re-elected directors. The CHAIRMAN said that the dividend would be ready on the 14th inst., and asked the shareholders whether they would vote a sum of money towards the erection of the Smalley wing of the Licensed Victuallers' Society. Mr. C..x thought it would be very advisable to vote a sum of money for this purpose, and moved that a sum of 50 guinea. be voted to the asylum, which was adopted. Votes of thanks to the chairman and Mr. Howell, the manager, terminated the proceedings. THE FIRf4T AND LAST INN IN ENGLAND. —The proprietor of the famous " First sad Lest Inn in England" (which is a mile off at Sennen), has built • new hotel at Land's End. The visitor may generally find fair accommo dation at it during the summer months. We were there in July, a few days after the Great Eastern with the cable (now prosperously laid) had passed by. The visitors' book is full of original entries, people becoming unrestrained in their fun in proportion as this inn is removed from civi lisation. One party stated themselves in it to be " poor lunatics travelling with their keepers for change of air." We add a portion of their testimonial to show the slang of the period :—" We can testify to the elasticity of the bed-rooms, for, in one small room, five poor unfortunates bung out, and one of them had room to snore. ''Joke' and skilly• as good as unannounced pauper casuals have any right to expect.

The directors of the Bank of England have to day reduced the minimum rate of discount from 3 per cent., at which it was fixed on the 20th De cember, to 3. This movement was anticipated, owing to the low quotations lately current in the open market, and the absence of withdrawals of gold for abroad. The demand for discount has somewhat in creased, bills having been kept back in expecta tion of a reduction in the rate to-day. The supply of money, however, is very large, and transactional have occurred in the best three months' paper at I per cent., or below the reduced charge at the Bank. The applications at that establishment are consequently moderate, and will probably continue so for some time to come. Short loans are offered in the Stock Exchange at 1A to 2 per cent. The discount establishments have reduced their terms for money at call from 2} to 2 per cent , and at seven to fourteen days' notice from 21 to 21. The joint-stock banks now allow 2 per cent. for money on deposit, instead of 21, except that the London and Westminster give only 1 per cent. for sums below 500/. The stock markets opened with a steady appear ance this morning, and afterwards improved upon the announcement of the reduction in the Bank rate. Consols, in which the monthly settlement is now in course of completion, are in request, and have advanced 1 per cent. The rise in several of the foreign stocks also amounts to it, but Greek and Turkish bonds of 1865 are 1 to t, better. The inquiry extends to banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares. Home railway stocks, however, are rather dull, the reduction in the dividends, notwithstanding increased earn ings, having caused disappointment. The dividend of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company is just an nounced at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, against 5 per cent. for the corresponding period of 1865, and the stock has fallen about 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 90/ to for money, and 901 to 91 for the account (March 7). Foreign stocks are in demand. Greek have advanced 1 per cent. ; Turkish of 1865, I I ; ditto of 1862, ; and Spanish Passive, the Com mittee's Certificates, and Chilian scrip 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted fooi to 56; ditto of 1865, 31} to f ; Greek, 141 to 1 ; Spanish Passive, 22A to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to; ; Italian of 1861, 541 to ; Mexican, 174 to ; Russian Scrip, If to 2 prem. ; and Chilian Scrip, to jProm. United States ii-20 Bonds have declined per cent., but Erie and Illinois Central Railway shares are to I better. The present prices are : The 5-20 Bonds, 72i to ; Erie Railway shares, 40 to 41; and Illinois Central, 80i to 81i. Anglo-American Telegraph and Atlantic Tele graph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are steady at 15} to and 3to I, respectively. International Financial shares are quoted 2 to dis. ; London Financial, 17.1 . to 161., din. ; General Credit, 2f to 2 dis. ; Credit Fonder, si to 41 din. ; National Discount, 81 to prem., ex div.; and Hudson's Bay, 151 to 16. The following meetings have just been con vened :—London and North Western Railway Company, for the 22nd inst. ; Anglo-Egyptian Bank, for the 14th inst. ; British Colonial Steam ship Company, for the 25th inst. ; Grosvenor and West-End Railway Terminus Hotel Company, for the 22nd inst. ; and the Submarine Telegraph Company, for the 19th inst. At the meeting of the shareholders of Simpson's (Limited), held on the 2nd inst., a dividend of Se. &I. per share, free of income tax, was de clared. The Bahia Gas Company (Limited) have made a call of 51. per share, payable on the 26th inst. A meeting of the bond and &bare holders of the Italian Irrigation Company is called for the 19th instant by the London directors as •` the position asaumcd by the Italian government with regard to this undertaking, demands the immediate atten tion of all concerned." There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The demand for exportation to Paris is very moderate. During the week 9,000/. has been sent in from abroad, and 61,090 i. withdrawn for export. The steamer Bremen has arrived from New York with 37,0001. in specie. - . - The biddings for bale on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The proportions al lotted were : To Calcutta, 17.75.700 rs : to Madras, 2.96.400 rs ; and to Bombay, 15.00.000r5. The. minimum price was fixed as before, viz., at Is. 10/d. on all the presidencies. Tenders at Is. 10d. on Calcutta and Madras will receive in full, and on Bombay about M per cent. All ten ders above that price will receive in full. The de mand for the means of remittance to India appears from these results to have increased a little since the last bidding. At the meeting yesterday of the City of London Brewery Company (Limited), the directors' report was adopted. It stated the gross profits for the year 1866, including 1,714/. brought forward, at 57,8011., and the present available balance at 26,5121., and recommended the payment of a dividend of 4i per cent. to all classes of share holders, making, with the appropriation in August last, a total distribution of 8,1 per cent. for the year. The annual meeting of the National Provincial Marine Insurance Company took place yesterday, when the directors' report was adopted niter a long discussion and a division. Interest was declared at the usual rate of 6 per cent. on the paid-up capital, free of income tax. At the meeting yesterday of the Electric and In ternational Telegraph Company a dividend of 5 per cent was declared for the half year, free of income tax, in accordance with the recommendation con tained in the directors' report, which was adopted. Mr. F. N. Micklethwait has been elected deputy chairman of the Electric and International Tele graph Company, in place of the late Captain Hursh. The fourth ordinary general meeting of the Lon don and Caledonian Marine Insurance Company (Limited) is convened for the 19th inst. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 266/ over last year ; and the Midland, an increase of 1,5551. The subjoined report on the market for American securities is from the circular of Messrs. Satterthwaite and Co. : The advancing premium on gold in New York has ope rated against the price of United States 9-20 Bonds in the Loudon market, the decline on the week being about 4 to I Per cent. Illinois shares have been very steady, but Erie shares have fluctuated between 39 and 404, the price here being almost entirely ruled by the quotations re ceived by telegraph from New York ; they close firm at :tui to 40. In Atlantic and Great Weste,n Consolidated Mortgage Bonds a considerable business has bees done from - :101 :104 to 314 ; they close 31 to I. There is sonic inquiry for Pennsylvania Second Mortgage Sterling Benda, from 99 to 90 ; also for Illinois Central Six per Cent. Bonds, from 83 to $4. The Seven per Cent. Currency Bonds of this company are in good deniand,from 72 to 73. From a circular issued by Mr. F. M. Page, it appears that the total shipments of bullion to the East during 1866 fell short of those made during 1865, by nearly 4 millions sterling, viz.:—To Alexandria, decrease in 1866 , say _l million • to Bombay, ditto, 14 million • to Madras and eal cutta, ditto, 1 million ; to bhina and Straits of Malacca, l million ; net decrease during 1866 com pared with 1865, 3/ millions sterling. The following, on the hide and leather trade, is from the monthly circular of Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell, dated yesterday . _ _ The first month of the year has shown a decided ins prol emetic in the leather market. Although there has not been any very peat animation, and no advance is poises, there has been a steady increase in the demand, which, with the limited supplies of fresh goods, ocoo , sinned by the severity of the weather, has reduced the stocks on hand , as we hope that with the return of open weather there will be a greater demand for labour, and consequently an increased consumption of leather as well as of other ,rticles, it may be fairly expected that a steady and krill market will be the result. Ran goods have not shown any important change. The imports at Australian hides and East India kips have been maunders , ble, and the stocks of these ..rticles are large ,• a good average innour.t or husine.s has been done, and the militia sales went of! briskly at about previous rates. At leaden. frill yesterday there was no new feature in the markcL The supply wan generally adequate to the demand, the chief exception being of English butte, about 2411, which were tt and very much wanted. WEDNESDAY SVENING. Consols. which - closed yesterday at 903 to 3, both for money and to-morrow's settlement, .opened this morning at 904 to and closed at 904 to . For the ith of March the last price was 903 to 4. The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 903, I, ; ditto. for account, 901, ; Three per Cmts. Reduced, 89; 90, ! • New Three per Cents., 90, 821 ' 801 ; Bank Stuck. ::51, 49; India Stock, 216 ; • ditto, Five per Cents., 'Ti3O 7 ; ditto Five per,Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 102 • ditto Debentures, 1021 ; ditto Bon 4 265., 301;. prem. The India Five per Cent. Stuck was steady. The 5 per cent. rupee paper met with rather more inquiry. Foreign stocks were in better demand, and prices were firmer than for some time past. The in quiries were chiefly for the non-speculative descrip tions, which are usually little dealt in. Russian Bonds were in prominent request, and experienced an advance ranging from ?, to 2 per oent. Turkish, Egyptian, Buen.e Ayres 6 per cents., Peruvian of 1862, Brazilian of 1865, Ita lia n of 1865, and Vene zuelan of 1864 also rose 4 to 1 per cent. • and Portuguese and Russian of 1866 (includinig the scrip), 1. On the other hand, Moorish detailed 1 per cent. ; Greek, ; and Italian of 1861, Mee& can, and Spanish Passive and Certificates, 1. The saw of the new Chili= loan recovered to the extent of per cent. closing at Ito 3 prem. Russian scrip was firm at 11 to 2 prem. 119 121 1%0 130 N 06 100 101 BRITISH ?OMISSIONS. _I Pd.
