It appeared that a few weeks since the prisoner was set at Sydenbam by a widow, a laundress, who, eking compassion upon her representation that she es out of a situation, took her home, shared her bed with her, and obtained temporary employment for her at a laundry at which she was herself engaged. After 'lurking a few days the prisoner was discharged in conic quence of things being missed, and as it was dis covered that she bad taken • pair of boots and other articles belonging to the person who had befriended ber, as also a book belonging to a lodger in the house, she was given into custody. In her pos session was found a letter, addressed to her from her lather, holding a responsible position at one of the metro politan railway stations, reproving her for not following his advice, and who now attended the court and stated that the prisoner had been a source of great trouble to bine from the time she was 13 years of age. The constable who had charge of the case said the prisoner had been charged with felony at the Southwark police-court, but had been discharged owing to the prose cutor not appearing against her. From inquiries he had made, he found that in nearly every place the prisoner had been allowed to enter she had purloined articles of small value, many of which he produced, including property belonging to a person at Sydenham, whose wife had taken her from " a refuge" as servant. The prisoner bad, on another occasion, been found by a master builder in the Old Kent-road, sitting, apparently in a state of destitution, near the Surrey Canal-bridge, in that locality, end he, pit ying her condition, had provided her with a kriging at a respectable house, and had agreed to pay a mm daily for her maintenance until she succeeded in ob taining a situation. In return for this kindness the pri mer suddenly took her departure, stealing a quantity of sails and lead belonging to her benefactor. In answer to the magistrate, the father of the prisoner laid he did not know what was best to be done, while one dthe persons whom she had robbed suggested she should be sent to a reformatory. Hr. Traill said the prisoner was too old to be sent to a reformatory, except upon conviction by a jury, and by special direction from • judge. He was afraid, however, she was beyond any influences of such insti tutions, for there appeared to be at least the proceeds of a dozen different robberies she had committed, although the articles were of small value. He should now accept her plea of guilty, and sentence her to one month's im prisonment, and if again convicted this would ensure a much severer sentence being passed upon her. The prisoner, who appeared perfectly indifferent, was then removed. litTAL ACCIDENT IN A TUNNEL OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) Great consternation was caused amongst the passengers awaiting the arrival of the trains at 9 o'clock this morning at the King's-cross station of the Under pound Railway, by a train which then came in, followed from the tunnel by several platelayers hi a state of great excitement, all of whom were hurriedly waving their shovels, shouting, and in every way endeavouring to attract the attention of the driver of the engine. It was then observed by those on the plat forms, as well as the railwayservante, that an accident had happened, and on the train nearing them, the last off wheel of the carriage at the end of the train had adhering to it what to many appeared a bundle which was rotating with t►e wheel. On the stoppage of the train it was found to be the body of one of the platelayers engaged on the railway, and who had previously been at work in the tunnel. Every exertion was made to release the body, which was a ehapelese masa, from the whool, but it was not for some few minutes that success rewarded their efforts, when no signs of life appeared ; in fact, it seemed as though all the bones had been broken. The unfortunate man must have been standing in the six-feet straight when the train was passing him, and no doubt ircautiously stepped against the wheel in the dark, whilst under the impression that the train had passed. The Volkceitung mentions that Herr Lewald received a letter from Karl Blind, of London, request ing him to obtain permission from the proper authorities that his step-son may be interred with becoming respect, and at the same time asking for a lock of his hair. Both requests were readily complied with. A letter which Cohen-Blind had written to his step father, was detained at the post-office by means of the telegraph after the attempt on Von Bismarck. In it he expresses his unalterable resolution to kill Bismarck, whom he regards as the greatest enemy of Germany. He argues that his death is necessary for the safety and unity of Germany. He says he has no accomplices, and is pre pared to risk his own life. The Kreuz Zeitiowl says, "It was by the will of God that Herr von Bismarck was saved from being pierced with bullets. Others say that he had cm a coat of mail. STRAND MUSIC-HALL.—The entertainment here bat night was signalised by the appearance of most of the leading comic celebrities whose effusions are familiar to the frequenters of music halls. The announce nent of so many names appeared to have a great attraction, the hall being crowded in every part. Altogether a success must be recorded in favour of Mr. John Nash, who was the beneficer on the occasion. THE LATE COLONEL HOBBN.—The Times says of this officer, whose name is so unhappily notorious in con nection with the outbreak in Jamaica, that the inquiry into his conduct in suppressing the outbreak and the criticisms to which he was subjected, so affected him that he had been pronounced of unsound mind by a board of medical officers in Jamaica, and was coming home invalided. He was to be in care of an army surgeon during the voyage, and two orderlies were ap pointed to watch his movements. On the second day, however, after leaving Jamaica, and when the Tyne was off the coast of Hayti, he managed to elude the orderly then in charge of him, and, rushing to one of the main-deck ports, threw himself overboard. The steamer was stopped with all possible despatch, and a boat was lowered. Several of the passengers saw the unhappy man for a few moments amid the waves, apparently making no effort to save himself ; but he soon disappeared, and no trace of him could be seen by the boat's crew, though the steamer lay to for some time. This sad occurrence was made more painful by the fact that Mrs. Hobbs was accompanying her husband, with her three children. It is unnecessary to say that the utmost sympathy was expressed for them by the passengers. Col. Hobbs served at the siege of Sebastopol in 18.5.5, and com manded the 21st Fusiliers at the attack the Redan on the 18th of June. HYDROPHOBIA. —Yesterday, Mr. Herford held In inquest on the body of Ann Cash Walker, 13 years of age, the daughter of a German yeast dealer, living in Higher Chatham-street, Greenheys, Man chester. About fi ve weeks ago, the deceased early one morning entered her home bleeding very much from the hand, and said she had seen a large black dog at the door ; had taken it some water, which it refused ; and that on patting it, the dog turned round and bit her on the hand. It was a retriever, and belonged to a come dian named Ed. Robertson Ward. The deceased's father at once took her to the doctor's, after having washed and bathed the wound, and it was cauterised. The wound had healed apparently ; but on Thursday symptoms of hydro phobia appeared ; deceased grew worse, refused water, sad all other liquids, and died on Saturday. She was attended by Drs. Mann and Brown. The owner of the dog Mated at the inquest that the dog had been destroyed. Whilst in the fair, a short time ago, a gentleman patted the dog on the l o i ns , an d th e anim al bit him. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a dog." EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY AT EXETER. —A most remarkable robbery took place at Exeter during the night of Monday last, when she office of Messrs. Follett and Co., timber merchants, Shillay Wharf, wan broken into, the berg. lars stealing a large iron chest, containing the books "kluging to the establishment, and about 41. 10s. in cash. A reward of ra . forinformation leadingtotheamehension of the robbers, who were no doubt experienced ones, was offered ; but up to Friday evening last none was re "reed. Mrs. Beck, however, the wife of Messrs. Follett's cashier, received by Friday evening's post the following &le :—" I seat to tell you that the chest is up at the Bonney Green, under a bush close at the bank, in the "ter. Good night ; God bl ess y ou , & c ." M r . B eck' sent scene men to look for the chest in the place stated in the l etter, and strange to say, it was found there, only I/. 10a. of the cash which it contained being found missing. The alike was broken open with a large iron bar, which was Met behind by the burglars.—Western Daily News. TELE EXPRESS, 'TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1866. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.)

Oita o'CLoos. The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is small, the dealers being chiefly engaged in the settlement of the fortnightly account. In connexion with this arrangement the failure has been announced of two firms, brokers, but their liabilities are not extensive. Prices generally are steady, and in a few cases a alight advance is observable. Consols and most foreign stocks are quoted the same as yesterday. There is a demand., however, for Mexican Bonds, at an improvement. London and North Western and Great Western stocks are also better, as well as some of the financial and discount shares. It is believed that after the conclusion of the account transactions will be more freely entered into. Consols are now quoted 84 to f, with div., for money, and 85 to I, ex div., for the account (June 6). The transactions in the general discount market are moderate, most of the business being still di verted to the Bank of England. The best short dated paper has been taken to a limited extent in Lombard-street at 10 per cent. The foreign stock market is inactive, and prices generally are quoted the same as yesterday. There is a demand, however, for Mexican Bonds, which have risen i per cent. On the other hand, Turkish of 1865 have declined Some of the present quotations are as follows : Turkish Bonds of 1862, GO to 62 ; ditto 1865, 294 to 30 ; Greek, 10 to 11 ; Spanish Passive, 22i to # ; ditto Certificates, 1511 to 16 ; Italian, 1861, 38i to 39} ; Brazilian scrip, 7i to 6i dis. ; and Mexican, 16} to 17. United States 5.20 Bonds are steady, at 641 to 65. Erie Railway shares are quoted 44 to 45, being better ; and Illinois Central, 76 to 77, show ing a decline. International Financial shares are now quoted 1# to 1# die. ; London Financial, 15 to 13 die. • General Credit, n to g dis . ; Imperial M ercantile , 10 to 9 dis. ; Credit Foncier, 4to 3/ dis. ; Overend, Gurney, and Co., 15 to 13 die. ; and National Discount, si to 7i prem. It is understood that the Bank hold out that they do not consider themselves bound to make advances upon government securities at the present period, and that they reserve to them selves the right of discriminating, and refusing to entertain such applications where they have reason to think that the object of the borrowers is a speculative one, and it is certain that yesterday several loans sought by members of the Stock Exchange were absolutely refused. Now, it would really seem almost a work of supererogation to point out that neither the Bank of England nor any other body can possibly pretend to discrimi nate as regards the objects for which advances of kind are sought. The Stock Exchange is merely a channel through which the operations of the public are conducted. Unless the dealers can have a rea sonable confidence, that in case of need they can have recourse to the Bank of England for such moderate advances upon government securities as they may purchase in the course of their regular business, they will have little choice but to close their books against sellers, and the effect of this will be that public securi ties would become virtually as unsaleable as they were at the worst period of the panic on Friday. Apart from the discreditable anomaly which would thus be occasioned perils of a serious kind would arise ; for what is to become of even the most prudent bankers, possessed of large reserves in government securities, if at the very moment when they wish to realise them, so as to stand pre pared for all eventualities, their securities are ren dered unnegociable by the Act of the Bank of England, an establishment which, on the present occasion, stands forward as acting in harmony with the government 1 The Bank have been accus tomed to make it ono of their boasts that they have never refused advances upon good securities ; with what reason, then, can they deal thus exceptionally with the best securities in the world—those of the British government ? Restrictions of this sort are only too likely to supply a handle to those who argue that the rules and practice of the Bank of England are not at all in harmony with the requirements of legitimate commerce at the present day. The truth appears to be—and we say so with regret— that the Bank of England are lending them selves with might and main to endeavour to save from actual infringement the Act of 1844, upon this the third occasion of its proved failure. Nothing more ill advised can well be imagined at the pre sent moment, when it is the absolute duty of the Bank, by free and liberal advances upon all solid securities, to endeavour to calm the distrust which has obtained possession of the public mind. The gold operations at the Bank yesterday com prised the influx of 2,0001., and the withdrawal of 18,0001. for exportation. Owing to the prevailing distrust, which induces an indisposition to buy bills on Paris, there is a demand for gold fur that quarter, and the 42,0001. by the Persia has been bought for transmission thither. This arises, how ever, merely from a dislocation of credit, and, as confidence revives, exports of gold may be expected to cease. From the same cause, there is a ls o an inquiry for bar silver for Holland, and the price has risen td., viz., to ss. lid. per ounce. The French mail steamer linperatrice Eugenie, which has arrived at St. Nazaire from Mexico, has brought 200,0001. in Mexican dollars on English account. The steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, has brought 86,5001. in spec'e. The Australian mail announces the departure of the undermentioned ships, with a total of 271,5001. in gold, a portion of which will be duo in about a fortnight. The Lucibello has 3,0001. on board ; Red Rover, 30,000/. ; Sussex, 136,0001. Red Jacket, 45,0001. ; Golden Sea, 13, 0001 . ; and the Walter Hood, 44 , 001 . Messrs. .Alexanders, Cunliffes, and Co., and Brightwen, Gillett, and Co., have raised their terms for money at call from 5i to 6 per cent. ; at seven days' notice, from GI to 6i ; and at 14 days notice, from 7 to 7i. With reference to the Consolidated Discount Company (Limited), we have received the following communication : 28, Clements-lane, London, May 14, 1866. Sir,—l am directed by the board of directors to inform you that this company is continuing its business.—By order of the board, BAYL. BAKER, Manager. It was rumoured that mercantile failures had taken place, especially at Liverpool, and the names of some large houses were freely mentioned, but there was no confirmation of any of these state ments. The advisability of forming a new discount com pany, with a view to continue the extensive con nexions of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), has been discussed in influential quarters, but, so far, no result has been arrived at.

The Lord Mayor, sheriffs, aldermen, and other members of the corporation of the City of London, pro- g, ceeded in state to-day to St. Paul's Cathedral, for the "or pose of usisting in the celebration of the 212th anmver Si - sary festival of the eons of the chime. They were met by Si the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of St. David's, the Bishop of Ely, the Bishop of Lincoln, the s , Bishop of Peterborough, the Dean of St. Paul's, the g Venerable Archdeacon Sale, the Rev. Canon Champ- s neya, Rev. Canon Dale, the Rev. Canon Mel. S viii, the Rev. Sir Lionell Darell, the Rev. Dr. S Butler, head master of Harrow School, the Rev. Dr. Vivian, Mr. W. Foster White, the Archdeacon 91 of Ely, together with a large number of gentlemen who had 1 ( undertaken to act as stewards. Arrangements had been made to hold the service on the large open apace under the 14 dome, formerly set apart for the special evening services. In 11 addition to the ordinary choirof St. Paursthere werepresent to assist, the'choirs of her Majesty's Chapels Royal, Weet minster Abbey, St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and others, g numbering about 200 voices. The service was well rendered 2 and an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Si Gilson Humphry, 11. D., vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Si from which it appeared that the society grants—first, Si donations to poor clergymen incapable of duty from mental or bodily infirmity, or burdened with large families. Secondly, pensions to poor widows and aged maiden daughters of deceased clergymen and temporary relief in cases of great age or sickness. Thirdly, appren tice fees and donations towards the education and esta- t blishment in life of children of poor clergymen. Unlike 1 , other societies established for the benefit of a particular district, or one class of sufferers, whether clergymen, widows, or orphans, the corporation assists them all with equal solicitude, and administers its funds to claimants in all dioceses of England and Wales. The average number of persons assisted yearly is about 1,300, and of these 712 are widows and aged single daughters. At the close of the service a collection was made on behalf of the society. This evening the members and friends will dine together in Merchant Taylors' Hall, Threadneedle-street, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor. CHARTERED MERCANTILE BANK OF INDIA LONDON, AND CHINA.-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock at the offices, 52, Threadneedle-street ; Mr. GEO. G. Nicol in the chair.• The report, which was issued some time before, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He expressed regret that owing to the deed of settlement the board could not meet the shareholders earlier, especially as the shares had been so much and so needlessly depreciated. He begged the shareholders not to part with their shares at the present price. The board had had to contend with consi derable competition for deposits among the banks in Bombay, and hence there had been some falling off there ; but, on the whole, the deposits were about the same as they were a year ago. The state of the cotton trade and of the exchanges had operated unfavourably. Re regretted that the balance of profit amounted only to 38,000/. This was owing partly to the heavy loss which the company sustained in Bombay. The manager sent out seemed from his previous career the very nun to shield the L....tops:ly sgoinst loss ; but nevertheless they had been great sufferers. He had no doubt the result of recent events in India would be the confinement of banking business to a very few establishments, and among them that bank would, he believed, take a leading place. The business of the current year was very satisfactory ; and so far as he knew there was no prospect of any loss. They held some bills of Overend and Gurney and Horned's, but they were not likely to sustain any loos by them. He did not anticipate danger at any point except Bombay, where there was not unlikely to be a monetary crisis ; but they had now a very prudent manager there, and come what might they were fully protected. (Cheers.) The branches had been weeded of dangerous elements, and the board would not allow any of the managers or other officers to speculate. They had now a body of officers of whom any company might be proud, and he felt certain that such scandalous events as he commented upon last year would not occur again. (Hear, hear.) The telegraphic communication with India was working most satisfactorily for that bank by keeping the directors informed of all that was taking place in the East. Inorder to show the minute ness of the audit, he might observe that two or three mem bers of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Co.'s staff were working st the bank nearly the whole year, and though the cost thus incurred was 6001. a year, he was sure the shareholders would consider that amount well expended.— ;Cheers.) Mr. litismAT inquired what was the amount of loss sus tained last year at Bombay! The CHAIRMAN thought it best not to state that pub licly, but he was willing to give the information to the shareholders privately. (Hear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER expressed his satisfaction that all the losses had been provided for, and that the business consisted almost exclusively of exchange business. The report, from which it appeared that the dividend for the year was 13} per cent., was then adopted, and the retiring directors were re-elected. PROVINCIAL SHARE MARKETS.

ARRIVAL OF THE ALLEMANIA.--SOUTHAHTTON, MAI 15.—The Hamburg and American Company's steamer Allemania, from New York, passed the Needles at 12.50 p.m. to-day. A SIGHT ON THE NILE. —Soon after I was sitting right on the pointed bow of the boat, with the Reis, who was sounding with his painted pole (ride antique sculptures and paintings) and the men towing, when suddenly some thing rose to the surface close to us : the men cried out " Beni Adana f' and the Reis prayed for the dead. It was a woman : the silver bracelets glittered on the arms raised and stiffened in the agony of death, the knees were drawn up, and the beautiful Egyptian breasts Boated above the water. I shall never forget the horrid sight. "God have mercy on her," prayed my men, and the Reis added to me, " Let us also pray for her father, poor man ; you see, no robber has done this [on account of the bracelets). We are in the Saved now, and most likely she has blackened her father's face, and he has been forced to strangle her, poor man." I said, " Alas ! " and the Reis continued, " Ah, yes, it is a heavy thing, but a man must whiten his face. Poor man ! poor man ! God have mercy upon him." Such is &cedee point of honour. However, it turned out that she was drowned bathing.—Macmillan's Magazine for May.
