I said that the Prosecutor am, to their surgery on • y morning, the 22nd nit., with blood flowing down 4 b e ad. He found a deep scalp wound, such as might re teen caused by the tongs produced. la answer to the charge the prisoner said he received t provocation from the prosecutor, who not only called • beestly names but struck him, and he took up the tongs or protect i on. The Magistrate said that it was clear they had a quarrel abased each oilier, bat the prisoner most be made to D ow that he had no right to use each a deadly weapon. s a caution to him for the future he sentenced him to wo months' hard labour at Wandsworth. THAMES. ROBUST IN TEE LORD= DOCK. Frederick Featherstone, • labourer, was brought before N r , part, charged with stealing • pint of red wine and • au ra of Barcelona nate from the ship John in the London jock. Edward Ellis, • dock constable, said the prisoner was wring the London Dock at the principal gateway yesterday s turgeon, and he looked very bulky. He searched the par . sow and found under the waistband • square bottle scandals; • pint of Tarragona wine, and in his pocket' squirt of Bareslona nuts. He asked the prisoner where be obtained the property, and he replied that • raw on baud the ship John gave him the wine and Bute. He went ea board the John and ascertained that the prisoner had been at work on board, and was engaged by the captain for two days. A cask of wine on booed had been pierced, and • gallon of wine taken from it. Part of the cargo of the John consisted of nate. The prisoner, in defence, said that a tailor on board the John gave him the wine and ants. Mr. Part untested the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour. The prisoner implored of the merstrate to ladiet • fine, which he could pay, and not send him to • prison. He had a wife and large family. Mr. Paget— I can't help that : • distinct robbery has been committed ; I cannot doubt it at all. If your story is true, you must have known that milers have co right to give ' away property. I have had • great many of these woes, and I wish it to be known that I shall not Jolliet fines for the nalawful pommies of property in the dock, for that you are charged with, but commit to prises for a long term all offenders, or else oommit them for triaL These petty robberies are very numerous, sad in the sgeregatumuch valuable property is taken out of the docks. The prisoner—Make me pay a flee,. sir. Mr. Paget—No. I should be wanting in my duty to the public if I passed over these cues with fines. The am mo is two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Oa Thursday last the Rev. Samuel Arnett, clerk, was instituted to the rectory of Rketahall, St. John, in Suffolk, on the presentation of her most gracious Majesty 1 Queen Victoria. There was a meeting in Huddersfield, yesterday, to considered the proposed Reform Bill of the government, sad what the borough should demand in reference to it. BASOInIiOI3II were carried in favour of the extension of the area of the borough, and the privilege of sending an addi tional member to represent it in parliament. Sir Matthew Sauna, who has for the last ten Tears filled the office of Chief Justice of Bombay, is about to return home, being entitled to his retiring pension ; and hie place, it is understood, will be filled by Sir Joseph Anima& one of the puisne judges of the High Court of the presidencies. The will of William Borradaile, Esq., of Worthing, was proved in London on the 16th ult., and the personalty sworn under 100,0001. The testator died on the 11th of No►ember last, at the age of sixty-five. He has left the following charitable bequests: —To the Sussex County Hospital, Charing-cross Hospital, Brampton Consumption Hospital, The Dreadnought Ship Hospital, the Corporation of Friends of the Clergy, and the Governesses' Benevolent Institution, each a legacy of 7401. ; to the female school at Ramsgste for the Daughters of Naval 061oers, 3004 ; the British Orphan Asylum and the Cumberland Benevolent Institution, each 2001. ; and to the Wells Infirmary and Dispensary, the Worthing In firmary ►od Dispensary, end the Home for Seamen of all Nations, each 1001. A man called M'Dermott was tried, at Preston sessions yesterday, for several remarkable impositions. He swindled • captain of the 90th Regiment, lying at Fulwood Barracks, out of 51., several of the non-commissioned officers of the regiment out of smaller sums, • landlord of Preston out of board and lodgings, and • sovereign, and a paws. broker's assistant of the same place out of a watch and I guard. Eventually, he was found at Colchester, pursuing the same game, was captured, brought to Prestos, and sea kneed to 15 months' imprisonment. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. JOHN INNEN. —ME, I John Dineen, R.N.. inspecting officer of the steam branch , in the department of the controller of the navy, on leaving ' the Admiralty, Whitehall, on Wednesday evening, was in crossing the road knocked down by a hansom cab, and sum- j Joined such injuries that he was at once taken to Charing cross Hospital in a cab. It was found that be had sustained I a slight cut on the ear (which was dressed by the surgeon in attendance), and an abrasion on the forehead. He left the ' hospital in • cab for his residence in Montague-street. Yesterday morning, we understand, he was seized with serious symptoms, and died, it is believed from concussion of the brain. Mr. Diener' was senior inspector of machinery afloat, and had been on the books of the Fisgard since the Ist January, 1863. THE BATLEY MURDER. —CRITI CAL CONDITION OF ELI Sti KIS. —We understand that the health of Eli Sykes, now lying under sentence of death in Armley Gaol, is, consequent upon his recent attempt to commit suicide, in a very precarious condition. He progressed favourably until Tuesday lut, and strong hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery, but on the morning of that day secondary hemorrhage of the wounds in his foot took place, sad the loss of blood from this cause left him in a very weak condition. In the afternoon, whilst the visiting justices were engaged in the gaol. another attack of secondary hemorrhage ensued. Mr. Nicholson Price, the gaol surgeon, and Mr. Wheelhouse were immediately summoned, and everything was done to relieve the unfor tunate sufferer. At • consultation which followed, how ever, the medical gentlemen considered it inadvisable to amputate the foot, the probabilities of his surviving such an operation being very slight. Yesterday, his condition DM very low sod critical, and should a third attack hake place it is feared he will sink under it. The mother of the convict called this week to see him, but on amount of his health she was not admitted. The Bishop of Ripon has not yet paid the visit which he promised a short time since. About the same time as Sykes attempted to commit suicide, Mr. Kerne, the governor, received an intimation from the Under Sheriff that the 15th of January had, as we have already stated, been fired for the execution ; but no further communication had since passed on the subject.—Leeds Mercury. ITALIAN 0 F FIC I ALISNI. —The old courts of Tuscany and Lucca were overlaid with peosiooera They were of every class and condition—from the noble who drove four in.hand to the camcini, to the fourth cousin of the cook who dressed the grand-ducal maccaronL These all devolved upon the new kingdom. So that, io reality, when people talk of the burdens of the country, and advise the reduc tion of the army and navy, the stoppage of public works, and suchlike, they are forgetting that the real ulcer which is eating into the bowels of the state is the overwhelming number of idle dependants who have come down as bad bargains from the former courts ; the myriads of do-nothing people —a sort of lay priesthood, lazy, bigoted, disloyal, and intriguing, not • wit above their shovel-hat colleagues in either morals or intelligence. Now, if they were all that they are not to the new kingdom, in good faith, loyalty, and allegiance, they would still be • heavy burden on the country for which they do nothing. The eleven thousand virgins at Cologne are about as virtually useful to the cause of Prussia as the eleven thousand professors—that is the number—to the wellbeing of Italy. Italy wants one, or at most two, universities, and the mass of these lecturers with four hearers should be sent to seek their fortune in more busy careers. As of the universities, so of the palaces. The first wise retrenchment will be to reduce the staff of idle men who, whether learned or unlearned, render nothing to the state. There is plenty of outcry against the friars—he would be a bold man who would say a word for a Benedic tine or a Carmelite—but there is • clue just as mendicant, just as leer, and just as great an anachronism to our eye as say bare-footed Dominican of them all.• These are the fellows I want to see discarded.

T H ACK ERA Y'S EARLY WRITINGS. —He wrote many things then that were neglected, and were norm alto gether forgotten. One of them was " The Second Papered of Napoleon," of which probably not one io ten thousand of the readers of his Magazine ever heard. And yet it was pOliihed in due form and in decent duodecimo, by Mr. Hugh Cunningham. a bookseller whose shop was at the earner of St. Martio's-place ' • he who also first published the " Paris Sketch Book." It was illustrated with some woodcut, of no great merit, sod thereto was added the famous "Chronicle of the Drum," which the "leading Magazines " had all refused to print. And as the able edi tors of the time rejected the ballad, so the intelligent publics of the time refused to read the account of the ' Second Funeral of Napoleon." though it bad all the allurement of being written at the time and in the presence of the event it commemorates. The gentleman who seeds us the original MS., from which we reprint the long-forgotten narrative, 41 71 :—" The ' Letters on the Second Femoral' were a failure. I had the pleasure of editing the tiny volume toe Mr. Thackeray, sod saw it through the press. And after a while, on the dismal tidings from the publisher that the little effort made DO Impression on the public, Mr. Thank tray wrote to me from Paris a pretty little noes commie- So your poor Iltmands has made another fiasco. Bow are we to take this great stupid public by the ears Never mind ; I think I have something which wBl surprise them yet. .' This wee evidently an allusion to trinity Fair,' which he had begun at that time.—Cornhill ilfainzane for January. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING. JANUARY 6, 1866.

The election of three medical officers for the new fire brigade in the three districts which the metropolis has bees divided into took place to-day. There was a very large attendance of medical gentlemen who were candidata' for the appointments. The number of applicants for the appointment in the A division was 26.

For good dry samples there was a fair demand at Monday's mummy ; bat all other kinds moved off heavily, at late rates. The *sedition of the supply was only middling. The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive. Sales, however, progressed slowly at about stationary Floating eargoes of grain off Falmouth and Queensto wu were far from inlays. Malting barley was tolerably firm in price. Grinding and distilling sorts changed hands slowly, on former terms. No change took place in the value of malt. The supply on offer WOA only moderate. There wu a fair inquiry for both English and foreign oats at full currencies._ Beans were a slow sale, but not cheaper. The inquiry for pima was chiefly in retail at late rates. Flair, both English and foreign, sold s lowly, b u t n o actual °Lange took place in prices. The supply of Ameri can flour has increased. We have no change to notice in the value of agricultural seeds. Linseed, rapeseed, and cakes were steady. cututarii nut:ft Z 11414811. Par Qr.

Dulness continues to prevail in the Stock Exchange, the uncertain position of the money market having caused fresh sales of most securities. The English funds exhibit a fresh reduction of 1-16 to it per cent., but the chief fall is in foreign bonds. The decline in British railways is not general, and does not exceed per cent. Financial shares and those of Overend, Gurney, and Co. are still drooping. In the discount market to-day the rate for the beet paper is maintained at 8 per cent., although there is a large supply of money seeking employ ment. In many quarters, however, an indisposi tion is shown to take bills for long dates, and the effect of this is seen in the abundance of money on offer in the Stock Exchange, where the charge for loans till to-morrow is only 4 to 5 per cent. The weekly return of the Bank of France shows the effect of the important transactions settled at the end of last year. The bills discounted exhibit the large increase of 2,840,000/., while the coin and bullion have diminished to the extent of 1,000,000/. Consols are now quoted 861 to /, ex div., for money, and 861 to / for the account (Jan. 9). The foreign stock market is heavy, and the movements in prices are all unfavourable. Spanish Certificates have declined a per cent.; Turkish of 1865 and Greek, ; Spanish Passive and Mexican, ; and Brazilian scrip, I. Some of the present quotations are subjoined, viz. :—Greek, 141 to f ; Turkish Five per Cents. of 1865, 411 to I ; Spanish Passive, 261 to 2711; ditto Certificates, 13/ to 14} ; Confederate, 6 to 8 ; Brazilian scrip, ft to I prem. ; and Mexican, 221 to a, ex div. American securities show no change of import ance. 5-20 Bonds are quoted 64} to 65 ; Erie Rail way shares, 56 to 1, and Illinois, 761 to 77f. International Financial shares are now quoted 13.16 to 15-16 prem. ; General Credit, 11 to 2 prem. ; London Financial, n to 41 prem. ; Impe rial Mercantile, 21 to 1 prem. ; Credit Foucier and Mobilier of England, n to prem., ex all ; Overeal, Gurney, and Company, 61 to g prem. The shares of Charles Lafitte and Co. are quoted 24 to 3 prem. ; English and American Bank, to 1 prem. ; and London Steam Towing, 14 to 2 prem. The money market within the Stock Exchange appeared to be quite unaffected by the change at the Bank of England. Throughout yesterday the rate for short loans on English government securities was 4to 5 per cent. The abundant supply of money in the Stock Exchange, however, is not a source of satisfaction, as it is caused mainly by the prevailing uncertainty which renders capitalists desirous of keeping their money subject to speedy recall, instead of employing it in mercantile bills in the usual way. For some time past the banks had refused to allow more than 5 per cent., no matter how high the Bank rate of discount might be carried. This was all very well in times when money was thought high at 5 or 6 per cent., but now that these terms have come to be regarded as moderate, and the commercial public are being made familiar with a 7 and even 8 per cent. minimum at the Bank, it is felt that the margin between the terms given by the banks and the current rates of discount is unduly large, and that the moneyed public ought to be allowed a fairer participation in the profits arising to capitalists out of the present state of affairs. Had the banks persisted iu the 5 per cent. limit for deposits, moreover, it is probable that some amount would have been rem3veil from thew to the discount companies, which give relatively higher rates, especially for fixed periods. About 70,000 sovereigns were taken from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. Nothing definite has transpired with regard to the amount likely to be despatched to Brazil on the 9th inst., but it is thought that the rise in the Bank rate will tend to diminish it. The Teutonic, from New York, has brought 35,500/. in specie. In consequence of the rise in the rate of discount the silver market was extremely flat yesterday, and if • sale had been pressed the fall in prices would probably have been considerable. During the last few days the market has been very quiet, the wants of exporters to India having apparently been satis fied for the moment. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,0921. over last year ; the North Eastern, an increase of 11,575/. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, au increase of 3,119/. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 1,5441. ; the Metropo litan Extension an increase of 760/. ; the Kent Coast an increase of 2001. ; and the North British an increase of 2,6751. A special general meeting of the Great Eastern Railway Company will be held on Thursday, the 25th inst., " for the purpose of receiving a further report from the committee of investigation, and for the purpose of electing live directors of the com pany, in the place of Jonah Smith Wells, Esq., John Thomas Norris, Esq. Horatio Love, R.q., James Packe, 'Esq., and John Alexander Thomp son Smyth, Esq., who have resigned." The fifth ordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Westminster Brewery Company was held to-day, Mr. W. Edgcumbe Reudlu in the chair, when a dividend at the rate of S per cent. per annum and a bonus at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum were declared. The ordinary general meeting of the Central Argentine Railway Company will be held on the sth February, for the purpose of receiving the directors' report and a statement of accounts for the year ending the 31st ult. It is likewise proposed— To authorise the directors to borrow any sum or sums of money, not exceeding in the whole 10,0001., at iotereiit upon the debentures of the company, to be applied towards the bringing noder cultivation, siding in or facilitating the letting, or otherwise developing the reeourms of the leode granted to the company; sod to take the necessary steps to sell, let on lease, mortgage, or otherwise dispose rf the same lands, or any of them. The third ordinary general meeting of the Con solidated Discount Company (Limited) will be held on the 22nd inst. The third ordinary meeting of the London and Bombay Bank and General Financial and Insurance Agency Corporation (Limited) will be held on the 28th of March next. The transfer books of the Warrant Finance Company (Limited) will be closed from Thursday, the 4th inst., to Wednesday, the 17th, both in clusive. A private telegram direct from Point de Galle, received in London this in rning, is to the following effect :—" Latest dates from China : Hongkong, I 15th December, 1865 ; Shanghai, Bth •, Foo Chow Foo, 9th (1).

The amount of gold with drawn from the I:Auk for exportation during the week referred to in this return was only 160,0001., and as the coin and bullion have diminished 296,9191., it is evident that there have been sow* withdrawals of coin for the purposes of the internal circulation as usual at the end of the year.
