The comp!. doant, whose face bore marks of ill-usage, sell that 11111. had lived with the prisoner as his wife some years, and she had had frequently to ocopiaii i at that court of his illtreatment of her.

Sneuth had managed his fellow-pri n.,. but iecently words arose between them at i., r hos., and a police-constable gathered by some re mat k.+ os eiheanl that the woman had given birth to a cl i lam t hat them= had concealed it; subsequently Sneath made a haLthened statement in writing and signed it, the purport of which was that in September last he buried the child in question in a dry well but afterwards in con junction with a man named Shaw took it out, not: abed it to pieties with their spades and then threw the pieces into a dung bin on the premises. Tie ft male prisoner was then questioned ; she denied leivin4 lied a child since the death of her husband, but both were taken into custody. The du bin was forth with sesrehed, but it hail been emptied that morning and not any trace could be found of the body or limbs. The singular p.n t of the matter was that Mary Anu Sncath, the wife of the male prisoner, swore to having been told the greater portion of these circumstances by her husband, and to having questioned the female prisoner respecting it, who not only admitted its truth but ridded that Sncath was the father of the infant, and that it hut mita! imurc diately after its birth. Mr. Maud now defended. _ . The witness Shaw now denied :al complicity in the matter. He was questimoal by Mr. Newton, the magistrate, very minutely, and cautioned that ho might possibly stand by the side of the prisoners in the duck. The police said that they had been unable to trace the dung —all they could learn was it bad been removeil in a truck on the Great Eastern line. Search had been made over the female prisoner's grounds and at the mouth of the well alludi.l to a bone about half the size of a loan's hand was found. It wax produced. Medical evidence deposed it to be portion of the skull of an infant, , beyond the shadow of a doubt. The well had manifestly been recently emptied or diaturbed. [The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.l LAMBETH. Maui .PEST NERVANTS.—KOEBERY OF JEWELS. E.? ;a,' Vole, a f.ishionably dressed young woman of 19, late servant to Mr. Perkins. a gentleman residing at Peck ham, was place.l at the bar on acharge of stealing a diamond bracelet. N.veral rings, and other property, of the value of 301., belonging to her master. Mr. Perkins, the prosecutor, said that, about three months ago, he hired the prisoner as a general servant, and on S ittind.y last, in roloio l uence of her misconduct and gilimal behaviour, he discharged her. While she was in his service several things were missed, and strong Alli picionm were enteitained of her dishonesty, but as they were not of serious value, and not wishing to have an more to do with her she was allowed to go and take away her boxes without any investigation into his lames. After she was gone, however, be (witness) discovered that the jewel-cases of his daughter were broken open and a diamond knicelet and ,everal rings taken. Thin he thought he could not look over, and in consequence sent for Ser geant Collins and gave him information of bin loss. Sergeant Collins, 4 P, said he traced the prisoner out to the residence of her aunt, and on asking her what she had done with her hoses, she said she had forwarded them to the residence of her mother in Cambridgeshire. The aunt, however. said that was cot true, that the boxes were at the residence of her sister, and he there found the counterpane produced, and which was identified by the prosecutor. The primmer, who denied all knowledge of the jewellery, was remandssi to a future day. GREENWICH. EKTRAOEHINART CHARGE (IF ILLEGAL POSHFASION OP ea.

Greenwich, was charged with the illegal pee session of four bills of exchange belonging to Mr. Garrett, of Heath-terrace, Lewisham. The prosecutor said that on returning home last evening his sister banded him four bills of exchange which bad been drawn in his favour in China, and which had been brought to his house. The bills should have been received on Tues day through the post. By appointment the person bringing the hills was to call at his house this morning, and the pri soner came. He asked the prisoner how hebecanie possessed of the bills. The prisoner replied that yesterday ho went to the Lewisham station and started by the 11.:.a) a.m. train for London, in • first clam carriage, in which a Ludy and gentleman were seated; that the lady got out at the Spa-road station, and the gentleman at London-bridge, and that the latter, on getting out, let fall the bills out of his pocket. He asked the pri soner why he had not given the bills to the porter, and the prisoner replied that he ran after the gentleman, but lost sight of him ; and that be then went to the bank on which they were drawn, and was told that they were waste paper. One of the bills had his (prosecutor's) name forged as an endorsement. The prisoner adhered to his statement, saying that ho hail taken the bills to the Lost Property-office, at the London-bridge station, but that they refused to have any thing to do with them ; that he learned at Lewisham where the prosecutor lived, and delivered the bills. He declared he Intl acted in perfect honesty. Police-constable Hazelden, 213 B, gave evidence as to receiving charge of the prisoner, whose father be said, was a postman, employed in the district in which the letter containing thebills was directed to. Mr. Maude remanded the prisoner. LONDON AND SOUTHWESTERN RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) This day the ordinary general meeting of share holder.; wtv; held at the Waterloo-terminus; Captain MANGLES in the chair. The report, which has already been published, having been token as read, The CRAIRMAR, in moving its adoption, expressed his regret at the reduced dividend for the part half year ; but he was sure, when all the circumstances of the case were taken into account, this reduction, inconvenient and disap pointing as it was, would he attributed to temporary causes, and not to any depreciation in the real value of the line. Those temporary causes were, exceptionably, bad weather, the cholera, the monetary pressure, the cattle plague—all of which contributed to reduce the traffic on the line. Another cause of the reduction was the working of new lines which had not time to develop their traffic, such as the Netley and the Ludgate lines. No leas than 26,800/. had been applied as new capital on linen which had only just been brought into working order. There had been 117,64:V. added to capital. Of this they paid 26,000/. for the shares and bonds of the North Devon line ; 20,000/. for a goods shed ; 5,000/. for the Chertsey line ,• 7,100/. on the Portsmouth line ; some thousands for doubling the Salisbury line and fur land and law expenses. On the whole there was only 42,000 f. added to the capital ac count. The debenture debt was in a satisfactory state. The Chairman then proceeded to remark on the several paragraphs of the report. The gross receipts of the line during the half-year were 400,0001., whilst the interest on the de benture debt was only 90,000 f., so that, much as haul been said and written on debenture securities, there need be no apprehension with regard to the South Western line. The borrowing powers extended to 338,400/. Having referred to the negotiations going on with the Great Western, the Devon and Cornwall, and Central Cornwall railways, which would bring the South-Western to the extreme west of England, the chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this afternoon at the International Hotel, London-bridge, N.r. P. N. LAURIE iu the chair. The report, which has already been published, was taken P- .4 read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of thereport, said the working of the line for the put six month' bad been a-itisfactory- The receipts showed an increase, as com pared with the previous half-year of 40,9011., and the gross revenue for 18611 was 73,74 W. in excess of the year be fore. A still larger increase would have been manifest but for the unfavourable influence exercised by the financial crisis. The expenditure was greater than usual, but arising as it did from exceptional causes, such as compeneation claims for the accident at Caterham Junction it would not be of a permanent character. With reference to the proposed allotment of 100,0001. in pre ferential stock, as sanctioned by the proprietors, only a small portion of the amount had been accepted. Colonel BARITELOT seconded the motion and after some discussion the report was agreed to, and the dividend recommended by the board ordered to be paid. C HEIST'S HOSPITAL —At a special court of the governors of Christ's Hospital yesterday, his Royal Highness Prince Arthur was admitted a governor of that establish ment, her Majesty the Queen having graciously expressed a wish to that effect, and presented a donation of 600 t. to the hospital's funds. It was also resolved that a suitable sui.kas be presented to the Queen, in acknowledg ment of this further mark of her Majesty's favour. The following gentlemen were also returned as governors, viz.: —Mr. Henry Jenkins, Cosford-bouse, Godalming, Surrey ; Mr. Joseph Spawforth, IS, Little Rnightrider-street ; Mr. George Stockdale, jun., 6. Throgmorton-street ; and Mr. William Price Jones, M.D., Surbiton, Surrey. SHARE LIST&-(THIS DAY.) On OVLOOL The tendency of the railway market is still downward.,.

A NEW STEAM SLOOP RUN ASHORE. Her Majesty's new screw steam sloop Dryad, 4, in charge of the officers of the Steam Reserve in Hammle, went on trial outside Plymouth breakwater yesterday morning, and was run ashore in White Saud Bay, and nar rowly escaped being wrecked. She was built of wood at Davenport, burden 1,086 tons, and has engines of 200- horse p.iiver, by Napier, which seemed to work well, having produced 92 revolutions per minute, with a pressure of steam of 25111., and vacuum !7. Her present draught is 15ft. aft and Bft. llin. forward. Her lead draught will be 18ft. aft. In consequenee of the thick ness of the weather, the Eddystone wan not descried, and no reliable calculation of the ship's speed could be made. When she was put about, instead of returning to the Sound, she went on the rocks in front of the Down Derry, several miles to the westward, at 11.5 a.m., and con tinued bumpio 4 until 11.35, when she was backed off by her screw. SOlllll timbers, supposed to be portions of her false keel, were beaten off, and came up alongside. She was only 100 yards from the beach, and the houses could be clearly seen. Where the Drywl struck, the ground was flat on either side. The rocks are so rugged that they would soon have torn her to pieces. The Down Derry life boat was promptly manned and brought alongside. The coastguard boarded the sloop in a quarter of an hour, and one of the officers piloted her to Plymouth. Five minutes before grounding the engines were slowed. After grounding they kept going astern at full speed until she got off. Preparations were made to carry out a kedge anchor. The accident is attributed to the incorrect ness of the compasses, said to be five points out. The weather was extremely flee. There was scarcely any wind. It was high tide about noon. The Dryad will be docked immediately. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) THURSDAY, rauctuar 14, 8 B.X. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY. Om o'Ozoon. Increased depression is observable to-day in the Stock Exchange, and prices have experienced a fresh reduction, partly upon vague rumours of Fenian disturbances in Ireland. Stock comes freely t., the market from various sources, and the result is a strong demand for money amongst the dealers, who are offering 2} to 3 per cent. for short ad vances on English government securities. Consols have declined per cent. The fall in most of the British railway shares amounts to Ato ; but South Eastern and Great Eastern have given way to the extent of 3 to 1. As regards foreign bonds the most important downward move ment is in Turkish of 1865, Russian scrip, and Italian of 1861. The latter have been unfavourably affected by the political intelligence from Florence. Financial shares are dull, and a reduction of 2s. 6d. to ss. has occurred in Credit Fonder. The discount market is quiet, and the rate for choice bills unaltered, at 2# to; per cent. Consols are now quoted 90} to I for money, and 90, , to f for the account (March 7). Foreign stocks have receded, in sympathy with other securities. Turkish Bonds of 1862, and Italian of 1861, have declined A per cent. ; Turkish of 1865 and Russian Scrip, ; Spanish Pas sive and Certificates, ; and Mexican, A. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 58 to 57 ; ditto of 1865, 311 to # ; Greek, 141 to I ; Spanish Passive, 22} to ; ditto Certificates, 14 to f ; Italian of 1861, 536 to ; Mexican, 171 to 18 ; Russian Scrip, 2.1 to A prem. ; and Chiliau Scrip, to t prem. United State; :I-20 Bonds are quiet, at 73 to ; but Erie Railway shares have improved per cent., viz., to 39A to 40. Illinois Central are quoted 78 to 79. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares are dull ; the former are called 15 to 1, and the latter, 21 to 3. International Financial shares are quoted 21 to 2 dia. ; London Financial, 18 to 17 dis. ; General Credit, 2g to 21 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 5i to 51 dis. ; National Discount, 81 to 9 prom., ex div.; and Hudson's Bay, 15 to 16. The 31st annual meeting of the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company will be held on the 26th inst., to receive a report and statement of the company's affairs. A meeting of the Danube and Black Sea Rail way and Kustendje Harbour Company will be held pro formd, on the 28th inst., and adjourned till a future day. An ordinary meeting of the North American Colonial Association is convened for the 27th inst. The annual general meeting of Grays Chalk Quarries Company is called for the 26th inst., for the consideration of the report of the directors. HALF-PAST THISBE o'Ctooa. Consols are 1 per cent. better, at 90,1 to 1 for money, and 90/ to for the account. About 10,000 sovereigns have been withdrawn from the Bank for Egypt. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 69fr. 65c., being nearly per cent. higher than yesterday. No bullion operations were reported at the Bank yesterday. The amount withdrawn for export since the date of the last return is 59,000!., while 8,0001. has been sent in from abroad. The Germania has arrived from New York with 64,8781. for England, and 10,0141. for France ; and the City of Boston with 9,0001. The exact amount of specie brought by the French mail steamer Imperatrice Eugenie the arrival of which at St. Netlike from Mexico has already been reported, is 295,0001., of which 31,0001. is for pri vate firms in Paris, 160,000!. for the French Trea sury, and 104,0001. for London. Advises from Manchester mention the failure of Mr. N. J. Arnim'. smallware manufacturer, of Al bion Mills, Gaythorn, with liabilities amounting to 30,000/. Messrs. W. Hadfield and Co., of Higher Ardwick and Warrington, have also suspended payment. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company yesterday paid 507,0001. into the Bank of England to the credit of the Secretary of State for India. This sum completes the payment on the million and a quarter of debentures recently issued by this company, and which were yesterday quoted 1001, or I prom. A meeting of the bond and share holders of the Ita lian Irrigation Company (Canal Cavour) is convened for the 19th inst., at the London Tavern, for the purpose of giving expression to their indignation at the conduct of the Italian government towards the company. Nearly four millions of British capital have been expended in this magnificent under taking, on the faith of a guarantee from the go vernment of Victor Emmanuel, and it seems a most unwise policy on the part of that government to fail in its engagements. The engineering, the works, and large salaries to government officials were all paid by money from this country, and even 8,0001. per annum of government taxes was contri buted by the unfortunate proprietors in the belief that when the Grand Canal was opened, as was done with great pomp on the 12th April last, the guarantee would be duly assumed ; but on one plea or other this is put off, and pretext after pretext is resorted to. It is high time that the Italian par-' liament, if jealous of its country's honour, should take the matter up. The Committee of Investigation of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway have announced to the bondholders and creditors the fact of their having entered on their labours, but toward expenses ask 2s. per 100!. sterling as a pro rata contribution to cover the expenses of thoroughly investigating the transactions of the company and informing those interested as to their prospects. The subjoined report on the market for American securities is from the circular of Messrs. Satter thwaite and Cu. : In the London market for American securities we have to record a fair amount of business during the past week in United States a. 20 Bonds. Up to yesterday, the price remained almost the same as this day week, bet on advice, fro n New York of lower premium on gold, with a slight advance on government securities, the price advanced to 73 to t. Illinois Central shares for the same reasons have advanced more than 1 per cent., closing 81.1 to 82, but Eries show no improvement, the latest quotation being 39f to 1. There has been a complete panic in the various securities of the Atlantic and Great Western, the first and second sectional Mortgage Bonds, without any officially reconled transaction, being quoted 15 per cent. lower than this day week. The Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have also declined 4 per cent., and the Debentures 7 per tient. ; the rate of continuation for carrying over Consolidated Bonds until next account has been merely nominal. The following notice, relating to speculative in surances, was posted yesterday: at Lloyd's :—" The attention of the committee having been called to the subject of speculative insurances, they have taken certain steps respecting the same, and being strongly of opinion that it is desirable to dis courage insurances of this nature, they rely on the moral support and active co-operition of the members and subscribers of the establishment to aid them in their endeavour to exclude from the room business of this class." The well-known premises of Overend, Gurney, and Co., at 65, Lombard-street, are to be sold by auction by Messrs. Gadsden, Ellis, and Scorer, at the Auction Mart, on the 12th March.

THE FENIAN SCARE.—The belief appears to be gaining ground that the visitors to Chester on Monday were attracted thither by some unpolitical object, or that either they really were Fenian', bent upon hoaxing the authori ties ; at all events, that no hostile designs had been formed by them. It is a remarkable fact that the evidence which was sufficiently strong in the opinion of the mayor to justify repeated appeals for military aid was not considered sufficient to justify a single arrest. The town swarmed with conspirators, and yet no conspirator was meddled with. It is a singular fact that those of our contemporaries to whom the incident gave the greatest alarm are this morning perfectly silent on the subject. Not a line from Chester appears in the journals which yes terday represented the city of Chester as saved only by extraordinary promptitude and sagacity from pillage. The Manchester Examiner of today remarks :—" After sifting this mass of alarmist rumour, wo find at the bottom just two facts, the receipt of an anonymous letter by the Liverpool police, and the influx of an unusual number of excursionists in Chester on Monday. Not a single act of violence was committed throughout the day. No threats were heard. There was nothing boisterous or overbearing in the conduct of the visitors. This, of course, admits of being explained by the pre cautions taken on the part of the authorities, but it is bard to believe that • thousand Irish labourers who had been sent to pillage Chester would have left the place without so much as insulting a single inhabitant. Looking at the whole affair, we cannot wonder that the impression gains ground that the Liverpool police, with whom the amazing story originated, have been hoaxed. These gentlemen are known to be ready to swallow any nonsense about the Fenian*, and it is conjectured that some practical humourist has operated upon their ere. dulity." _ _ _ Mr. W. J. Linton, who has long held a leading position among the wood-engravers of Great Britain, lately arrived in New York, and received from the mem. hers of the Wood Engravers' Society a hospitable wel come. He intends to remain in the United States for some time ; and his services have been secured by Frank Leslie for his Illustrated Paper. Pd.

They are, therefore, willing, in order to lave litiga tion, which is expensive to the state, to change their tactics and support a license law, which will prove re munerative to the commonwealth, and, in the end, will do more to check intemperance than a law which is violated and evaded, as all sumptuary laws have been since the creation of man."

Tenneut, Bart., is disposed to resume the office of par liamentary representative for this borough, if existing in terests can be satisfactorily adjust..
