STEALING CARPET NEON DRURY-LANE THRATEL Charles Ora', a journeyman carpenter and upholsterer, was charged with stealing a quantity of pieces el carpet from Drury-lane Theatre. Edward Hamilton, fireman at Drury-lane Theatre, maid— This morning, at about twenty-five minutealo nine o'clock, I was on duty at the theatre, and saw the prisoner going away with the bundle of carpet now produced. The little pieces were outside. He passed out at the hall-door, and I followed him and stopped him. I asked him if he had any pass for it? He said It was the rule of the trade that the person who cut the carpets took the little pieces, and, therefore, they belonged t o hi m . A s s t r i c t or d ers had been given that no one should be allowed to carry anything out of the theatre without a written order, I detained him till Mr. Lyons came and gave him in cuatody. At the station-house the parcel was o pe ned, and some large pieces were found inside, but the bundle had been folded in such • manner that they ware concealed by the mall pieces outside. Mr. Lyons, upholsterer, Bell-yard, Temple-bar, deposed— I furnish carpets to Drury-lane Theatre. The prisoner is in my employment. and was at work there forme. The pieces now produced are my property, and are worth 6e. Be had no right to remove them. I bad told him that nothing was to be removed after it had once been taken into the theatre. Since he has been in custody he Use asked me not to press the charge, if he will give up the person who has purchased some other pieces from bun ; and cer tainly I should not be disposed to press it so severely if he does so. - lir:oorrie could not enter into any arrangement, but ha would remand the prisoner for a week on his own mongol lame, and whatever took place in the me an ti me mig ht then be reported to him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE GERMAN STREIT BANDS. Wm. Laos, a member of a band of German musicians, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with several others, not in custody, in playing certain mastoid instruments, after being requested to desist, in Chapel. street, Grosvenor-square. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough.strest, ap putred for the defence. Mr. John Rualgetie, of Pangs, Surrey, civil engineer, said—l appear here for Miss Itazalgette, who resides in Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square. At that lady's request last night I went out and told the defendant, who was with a bend of K or 10 others making • great noise, to go away and to pto the next street. The defendant rid he should not leave, neither should he go iuto the next street, as they were paid to play, and that they should continue to play. I told him I would g i ve hi m i n c h arge if h e did , and said I would look for a policeman. On coming back I heard them making an atrocious noise, and gave the defendant in Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was there any dynes or reason for telling the defendant to go away? 31r. Baralgette—Miss Baralgette is in an infirm state of health and generally unwell, and I have a certificate to that effect. (One was handed to the magistrate stating that the lady was unwell.) Mr. Tyrwhitt, after referring to the Law Journal, containing a report of • case before Mr. Justice Mauls, rid—The gentleman should have told these people that the lady was ill, or have stated some reasonable cause, and it did ,not appear that he had told them any reason why they should go away. If the gentleman had done so he would have brought the defendant within the meaning of the act. Ido not say that the con stable was not right in taking the defendant into custody, but it was for the magistrate to say whether he was in lawful custody. Although it is my duty to diamies the case, I can only say that such persons as the,,e (defendant and his companions), in such ties as Chapel-street, might collect together and black mail by h arass i ng the persons residing there. I, r one, shall never hesitate to enforce the law when the case is proved, and to inflict a fine of 40s. Mr. Lewis--There is a little pique between the lady in this caw and another lady. The defendant was then discharged. MARYLEBOIC E. ARM Li FLA 1•1,11.

The mostable replied about sixteen months, but it maned In a vary weak state. While conveying the prisoner to the station-house she blamed him for saving her, as she fully intend d to commit suicide. Mr. Horsham asked the prisoner whether she bad any thing to my in answer to the charge, which was one of a very serioaa nature? She replied in a sullen manner that she had nothing to my, Mr. Mitcham remanded her to prison, so that the medical officer, as well ma the chaplain, might have an opportunity of examining her.

EXECUTION OP FERDINAND° PETREANI FOR THE MURDER OP THREE PIERSOSE ON THE HIGH SEAS-(TEM DAY.) WINCHESTER, TOILSDAT M011111:10. This morning, at eight o'clock, Ferdinand° Pedestal, en Austrian seaman, wee hung at this town for the mustier of the captain, the captain's wife, and the first mate of a British ship named the Winthrop. At a quarter before eight o'clock, she under sheriff, W. Brooks, Fag. • the governor, Henry Barber, Eq. ; the surgeon, Dr. L ' yford ; with the other prison officials, visited the convict in his cell, and Calcraft then proceeded with the horrible details of his office. The culprit expressed an earnest desire to be almost stripped of his clothing, an musty which was acceded to as far as consistent with .pro priety by thegovernor, and the wretched man was stripped of hisecat and waistcoat, having on a very finely worked fronted shirt. Father PACi63OII motioned the repetition of the pre scribed formularies of the Roman catholic church with the utmost vehemence, and the repetition of the prayers by the culprit was distinctly heard by the pantos in the lame opposite the gaol long before the procession was visible upon the scaffold. On reaching the drop the father confessor, who waved the crucifix inaemantly in front of the criminal, exhorted him to repentance, and the wretched victim, who then trembled violently, joined earnestly in the prayers. In the midst of the prayers the drop fell, and the confessor, kneeling by the side of the pendent body, prayed with a fervour of intonation and gesticulation that provoked the indeceut laughter of some of the mob. The priest continued on the scaffold repeating the prayers until half-past eight, when he descended, and thanked the go- 1 vernor for his kindness to the dammed. The body was cut down miter hanging the usual tires, and the large crowd dis persed. SHOCKING -ATTEMPT OF A FATHER TO MURDER BIS DAUGHTER. The man (if we may disgrace the name by using such an appointive) Isaac Thompson, who for the heinous mime of wilfully roasting his child to death at the Strain await. his trial at the forthcoming Stafford Assizes, has again for the third time been at his murderous work with another of his children. In this case, although the child has very narrowly eaceped immediate death, the particulars are no less revolting. We may say at the outset that its recovery is regarded by the medical men se impossible. On Sunday night, about half-past 11, Thompson returned home. having been carousing in a public house up to that hour with his wife. He appears not to have. come home with her, for on his arrival he demanded to know of his daughter Hannah, • girl about nine years old, " where her mother was." Hannah is the oldest child but one, and all the other children were in bed upstairs. She replied that she did not know. He directed her to search for her, and the child returned without dndiag her mother. He at once seised • poker, which is about 18 inches long, and worn to a sharp point at the end, and thrust it into the head of the child to a depth of about 34 inches. The blow penetrated above the left ear, and, bursting through the scalp to such • depth, it is questionable whether it did not go into the brain. She bled profusely, her clothes being oom i t o et6y . stunted with the blood. Another daughter, the eldest child, hearing the noise and the groans of her sister, rushed downstairs, and sought by her screams out of doors the assistance and attendance of their only neighbour, Mrs. Sprodsou, the house being detached and isolated from other houses. A number of people were at tracted by the cries, and on arriving did all they could for the poor girl, and at once fetched the police. Having put Thompson in safe custody, Sergeant Tomlinson sent for Mr. H. Ballenden, surgeon, of Sedgley, who attended and re sorted to such expedients to save the child as his medical skill suggested. At the time our reporter despatched his parcel he had just learned that the state of the poor girl was perilous, and scarcely the shadow of • hope remained of her recovery. The prisoner maintained quite • cool and indifferent demeanour from the time of the transaction to the hour he was lodged in gaoL —Birmingham Gazette. MORE FIZZE AND Loss or LIFIL—(THIS DAY.) —This morning, about a quarter past seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Atkins, boot and shoe manufacturer, Church-street, Rotherhithe. The inmates fortunately succeeded in effecting a safe retreat, and the engines of the parish and London Brigade promptly attended. The total damage is considerable, and it is un known whether the sufferer was Minted or not. A fire took place in the premises of .1. T. Ballenger and Co., !Irrand tea-dealers, carrying on business at No. 80 and igate. The discovery was made by some of the in mates, who fortunately succeeded in extinguishing the fire before the arrival of the engines, and before it had extended beyond the third floor. A fire of a very distress ing character took place in the apartments occupied by Mr. 0. Kaye, Church-street, Greenwich. Here an aged female was burnt to death. It appears that whilst she was sitting in front of the grate a spark flew out of the fire and sat not only the poor woman, who was 68 years of age, but also the flooring on fire, The residents, with the assistance of the neighbours, managed to pull the unfortunate woman out of the blazing room, but the body, however, was so frightfully burned that the flesh when touched peeled off. THE RECENT FIRE IN SoHo.—The Times pub lishes the following letter :—" As a means of replying to the numerous inquiries relative to the arrival of the fire escapes at this fire, arising out of your report thereof ' on Saturday, allow me to say that, after careful iestigatioe, I find that the nearest station xford-street, opposite Dean-street) received the alarm between 18 and 20 minutes past 11. The conductor was quite ready, and used such exertion that within two minutes he was at the fire with his fire-escape. It was the immediate means of rescuing three children from the second floor, all of whom must otherwise have perished, and the conductor has severely burnt himself in bringing the last of them out. After this further access was impossible. While thus testifying to the alacrity of the attendance of the conductor with his escape, I am sorry to be compelled to say that a delay of valuable minutes occurred at the fire before the escape was seat for, and 1 have no hesitation in declaring that had the first thought been to send to the fire escape station (not 300 yards distant), the whole of the chit. drat might have been saved. —I remain, Sir, yours obediently, SAMPSON Low, Jun., Secretary Royal Society for the Pro. tectioe of Life from Fire. 47, Ildgate-bill, KC, Dec- 29." A BALLET GIRL ON FIRE AT THE BRIGHTON THEATRE.—Ou Saturday evening last an accident, which fortunately was not attended with such serious results as was at first anticipated, occurred to one of the ballet girls at this theatre. During the representation of the panto- mime, the performers were making preparations for the re ception of one of the great personages, when one of the ballet girls approached too near the foot lights and her dress caught fire, The scene in the theatre cannot be described on paper—it completely baffles all attempt at description. Women fainted and were carried out of the house, and the shrieks were terrific. Fortunately several gentlemen were on the stage, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and when order had been restored, the manager, Mr. Nye Chart, banded io the poor creator* in order to let the audience see that she was not so much injured as had been anticipated. We are also told that she appeared on the stage at a later period of the pantomime. We are glad to say that the ma nager has decided in future to have w ire work over the foot lights, which will prevent any similar rioei4ent.—Sesseez E VI7RLAUGHTER BY FURIOUS DRlYlNG.—Yester day afternoon Mr. Wm. Carter ludd an inquiry at the Duke of ClareeeeTavera, Kennington, respecting thedeathaf Henry Polley, aged 18. who was killed on the previous Monday. under the following circumstances. Stabbings, 187 P, said that about five o'clock the previous Monday evening be sew a cab driven along at a furious pace (ten miles an hour) towards Kennington-park. Deceased was in the act of stepping off the kerb to cross the road when the cab turned round the corner at the same rate and knocked him down. The wheel passed over hie stomach, doubling him up. At that instant the cabman called out, but made no effort to pull up. Witness stopped him, but he refused to come back. Witness insisted upon his doing so, and placed the deceased, who was bleeding, in the cab, and asked the driver to take the lad to the hospitals He positively re fused. He was the worse for drink, and witness took him to the station. He was let go, but when deceased died the next day the inspector ordered witness to take him again into custody. He was therefore not now present. The Coroner said that it was strange that the police should manifest such eagerness to interfere with the powers of the Coroner's Court on every occasion that they could. Their conduct deprived the accused of the opportunity of giving any explanation, or of contradicting any exaggerations or mis-statements, thus left the court no option but to re turn verdicts of manslaughter on ex parte statements. Mr. S. &ashy, a merchant, corroborated the testimony of the policeman. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Frederick Wootton. the driver of the cab." THE ()ANTLER MEMORIAL.—The committee ap pointed to realise a fund for this object have received 1,0001., and a fell-length statue of the great factory king is to be erected in one of the principal towns of the West Riding—probably Bradford—where the short time move meet originated. . . The Boston Traveller says that thouuseds of blacks and whites will starve is Louisiana and Mississippi this winter, owing to the dearness and scarcity of pro visions. SHARE LIST&-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocz. The funds to-day are firm, and the tendency of prioes is rather favourable, although there is scarcely any actual advance. This is settling-day in shares and foreign stocks. Several of the principal English railways present an improvement of lor per cent. although the market remains very deficient in business. A good effect has been produced in the Stock Exchange by the arrival of an enormous amount of specie (as referred to below). Foreign stooks are still rising. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentals opened at 70fr. 16c., being bc. better than yesterday. Consols are quoted 924 to 4, ex div., for money, and 92 9.16 to 11-16, ex div., for the ac count (Jan. 8). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 924, 1, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921 4; New Three per Cents., 921, 4 ; New Two-and-a Half per Cents., 754 ; Bank Stock, 234 ; India Five per Cent. stock, 1071, 1084 ; ditto, for account, 1081 ; ditto Four per Cent.

Foreign stocks are firm, and the tendency of prices in most cases is upwards. Portuguese and Venezuelan scrip, as well as Italian Five per Cents., are in better demand. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 84 to 85 ; tat of 1858, 701 to 71; that of 1862, 714 to 1 ; the Consolides, 411 to 4, showing a fresh rise of per cent. ; Venezuelan scrip, 14 to 14 dia. ; Russian scrip, to 4 prem. ; Portuguese scrip, 4/ to 1 prem. ; and the New Peru vian Loan, 93 to 4, being decidedly higher.

Consols are quoted 94 to t, ex div., for money, and 921 to I, ex div., for the account, being firm. There was an active demand for money yesterday in all quarters, including the Bank of England. In the Stock Exchange the demand has decidedly in creased, and less willingness has been shown to take in stock at the settlement now in progress. The cause appears to consist in the fashion of piling up large balances at the bankers at the close of the year. In consequence, as much as 6 and 7 per cent. per annum was paid yesterday for loans on many kinds of foreign stooks until the next settle ment. It is probable, however, that with the turn of the year renewed ease will prevail. The Vienna Bourse is still buoyant, and the ex change continues to move in favour of Austria, having descended on Saturday to 116.75. The circumstance that the prices of Indian rail way stocks now include 6 monde' guaranteed in terest is bringing these securities into increased notice, and the market for them has shown as upward tendency for some days past. The half-yearly meeting of the Brighton Railway Company is convened for the 29th January. A general meeting of the National Discount Company is called for the 21st January. The Master of the Rolls proposes, on the 15th January, to make a call of 14s. per share on the contributories of the Defender Fire and Life In surance Company. The third annual report of the directors of the London and Mediterranean Steam Navigation Company, to be submitted at the meeting on the Slst instant, states that the amount earned by the company's steamen, Sicilia and Italia, " notwithstanding the delays and interruptions occasioned by the constant breaking down of the machinery, is very considerable, and proves that the trade of Italy provides an abundant and profitable freightage from and to the Port of London." The report concludes as follows : In oonclusion, the aireeton desire to ware the share holders that, while they regret that the present report is not of a more satisfactory kind, they matins' to entertain the same favourable opinion of the trade in which the company is embarked, and that they will adopt every means in their power to reader its operations as speedily as possible pro fitable to the oompany. . - A paragraph in the report of Mr. John Ball, the auditor, is annexed : The profit and kr account exhibits • balance repre senting loss co the working of the period of 2121. lls. : this result is due to the circumstance that very heavy amounts have been paid during the period for repairs and alterations to the original machinery of the ships, which has proved • failure, and has necessitated not only extensive current repairs and alterations, but also the construction of new engines and boilers at a large outlay, the first in stalment of which outlay, namely, 4201., appears in the balance sheet as a separate item. It is notified that the bonds of the province of Canada, issued on the occasion of the purchase by the government of the stock held by private parties in the Welland Canal, and which mature on the lst proximo, will be paid in due course by Messrs. Glyn and Co. Messrs. A. F. Ridgway and Sons, of Leioester square, have announced that they will pay the interest due the lat proximo on the City of Auck land Debentures. _ _ • - The Ballarat has arrived from China with 734,697 lbs. of tea and 1,369 balsa of silk; the Northfleet, with 1,020,936 lbs. of tea ; the Assy rian, with 617,407 lbs. of tea and 865 bales of silk ; the Crysolite, with 566,100 lbs. of tea ; and the Prince Alfred, with 907,200 lbs. The well-known Diaries and Pocket-books for 1863 of Messrs. Letts, Son, and Co., of the Royal Exchange, are now in course of issue, in every variety of size and form. It is merely necessary to remark that they ow.nbine all the excellencieewhich have secured to them so large an amount of favour from the commercial and general public. The following extract from the commercial cir cular of Messrs. Geo. A. Lloyd and Co., of Sydney, animadverts with deserved severity upon the reck lessness with which goods continue to be shipped from Europe to Australia : The commercial advice' are so far favourable that they report a diminution in the value of shipments from Eng lend, which we hope will continue to be the cue in sae seeding months. Trade during the post month has been very dull, and sales have been made with greet difficulty. With the exception of cotton goods, which cannot be bought at any price, as holders will not part with them, we are unable to specify a single article in which • brisk trade is being done. Rum and Geneva have been shipped to this market lately in excessive quantities, end are sow in consequence very much depressed. Rum 90 o.µ cannot be quoted at more than 3e. sd. per gallon, while Geneva is almost unsaleable, the prima offered by buyers being such as no importers can afford to accept. Two ships arrived in use day this month from Rotterdam, bringing 27,000 cases of Gemini, and we are informed that thou shipments Sr. only a portion of contsucts for 50,000 cases purchased by one house, sod 16,000 cases by another ; now, when it is I remembered that our total consumption does not exceed 6,000 gallons per week, it will be seen that the two 'him just arrived have brought sufficient for live months' con sumption. We have also advice. of the Hellevoeteluis, having sailed for Sydney with 16,000 cases, and the IConinklijka Nederlandsche Yscbtclub with 14,000 case', orse half of which are for Sydney, with another ship of the same size loading in Rotterdam entirely for Sydney. It will therefore be apparent that with 15,000 cease in stock, 17,000 jut arrived, and 48,000 on the water, all for Sydney, where the consumption is only 1,250 cues per week, we are likely to have Geneva cheaper in Sydney than it is in ' Holland • and to make matters worse, shipments of a . similar character are going forward both to Melbourne and Geelong. Under such cucumstancee. our friends who are thus shipping will gain experienoe at rather too serials • mat MONDAY Emma. Consols, which dosed on Saturday at 924 to f ex div., both for money and the Bth January, opened and closed to-day at the same quotation. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

The race was for 501., and the distance five miles, Mills allowing his opponent a start of 350 yards. To complete the dietenos Mills had to make the circuit of the course 35 times, and Marsh 34 times, leas 150 yards. Shortly after 3 o'clock the men appeared on the ground, and the mosseary preliminaries haying been amumged, the ward was given for them to start, which they did at • rattling pace, Mills on the first mile gaining something like 60 yards, at which position they motioned until they had traversed two miles and a half, when Mills, finding that he scald not gain another yard upon his opponent, gave up, sad left Marsh to ran the rernanung distance by himself.

Duncan replied in the affirmative, and the gentleman offered a gratuity if he would accompany him to the place. Duncan complied, arming himself with his usual weapons—two short sticks!
