The wound was an inch and a half long. three-quarters of an inch wide, and half an inch deep. The deceased was coureyed home, and on Saturday an inquest was held before the coroner at the house of the old man's son-in•law. Neither the daughter nor her brushand appeared at the inquiry. Dr. Johnston, of Bramplun, Dad examined the wounds en deceased's head, and, to answer to questions put by the foreman of the jury. gave it as his opinion that the injury could not have been the result of accident.

The funds show increased firmness to-day. Con sols are now quoted: per cent. higher than at four o'clock yesterday. The other departments of the Stock Exchange are also firm. Consols for the Bth of January were first marked 931 to 93, and are now quoted 94 to ex div. The Three per Cents. Reduced are officially marked 931 to HI; the New Three per Cents. 931 to 941; Bank Stock, 217 to 2181; Exchequer Bills, par to 4a. prem. ; and India Bonds, 15s. dia. Turkish Six per Cents. are firmer, at 98 to 981, The Guaranteed Four per Cents. are also in demand. Spanish stocks are now quoted minus the half-yearly dividend. Sales are recorded as follows : Buenos Ayres Bonds, for account (15th of January), at 95; Granada Active Bonds, at 201 ; Mexican Bonds, for account, at 201; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at 97, ex div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account (15th January), at 85j to 85; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., at 251, ex div.; ditto for account, at 251 to 261, ex div.; Turkish Six per Cents., for account, at 98; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., at 1021 to 102: ; ditto for account, at 1021, 103, and 1021. On the 4th January a large mass of bills will arrive at maturity, and occasion an important addi tion to the Bank's resources. It is not believed that the increase in the bullion and reserve has pro ceeded this week in the extraordinary ratio witnessed during the previous fortnight, but still the position of the Bank is undoubtedly becoming very strong, and a reduction in the rata of discount to 8 per cent. is confidently expected to take place in January. At the Bank of England yesterday the demand for money was quiet. In the discount market, although yesterday was the last day of the year, and the 4th is approaching, there was no increase of activity. The current rates for good bills are from i to 1 per cent. below the Bank minimum ; and holders of money evince increasing anxiety to employ it in eligible channels, even at reduced rates. Yesterday being " settling-day " in the share market, there was temporarily more demand for money in the Stock Exchange. Commencing with to-day, the London and Westminster Bank and the London and County Bank will not allow more than five per cent. on fresh deposits, instead of six. The former bank will allow only four per cent. for sums below 5001. The amount of gold purchased by the Bank yes terday was about 72,0001. The 450,00 W. in gold ex the Suffolk, from Mel bourne, will be delivered to-day, and is expected to be sent into the Bank as soon as it can be melted. It is believed that the broker who arts for the Bank of England has been privately a buyer of stock to a large amount for some days peat. During the recent crisis the Bank parted with a considerable amount of government securities, reducing their stock to a point unknown for many years. Now that their resources are in creasing rapidly, it is natural that a portion should be replaced. The speculative buyers of English railway shares *ppear quite undeterred from carrying their operations further, notwithstanding the very onerous rates of interest which have prevailed in many cases at the recent settlement. Probably they are encouraged to some extent by a belief that, although they are speculatively over-bought, the dealers in the Stock Exchange have sold a much larger amount of stock than they possess. The Bank of Belgium have reduced the rate of discount to 5 per cent. The steame; La Plata has arrived from the West Indies and Mexico, with about 224,0001. in specie, chiefly silver, on freight. A further sum of 22,0001. in silver has reached the Thames from the Continent. The holidays in the produce markets are not yet over, but the tendency of many articles was yester day upwards, including sugar, tea, and rice. We understand that the London Joint-Stock Bank have taken up the agency of the City of Glasgow Bank. - In the railway share market, Midland stock has of late attracted a large degree of speculative attention, owing partly to an impression that the next dividend of this company will be at the rate of five per cent. per annum. But there is also an idea in some quarters that an alliance of this company with the ereat Northern, instead of the London and North Western, may result beneficially to the Midland shareholders. A numerous meeting of the creditors of Messrs. W. J. Powell and Son, in the Manchester trade, who suspended payment on the 18th December, was held yesterday. Mr. Parrinton, the accountant, read a statement of affairs, and explained to the meeting the returns, profits, and expenses from the com mencement of the business, in 1832, to the present time. Mr. Reed, on behalf of Messrs. Powell and Son, submitted an offer of 17s. in the pound, payable by equal instalments at three, six, and nine months, from the 15th of January, with such security as should be approved by a committee of four of the the principal creditors. It was agreed that if security were not obtained, the composition should be realised under inspection. It appears that the senior partner brought into the business, in 1852, a capital of 23,3611. Meetings are called of the creditors of Messrs. R. Bainbridge and Co., and of Messrs. Carr, Joaling, and Co., who lately failed. The position of the market for American secu rities is thus noticed by Messrs. I). Bell, Son, and Co.: During the past week there has been an increased etv in the market for American Mocks, and prices have generally advanced. In railroad securities the chief altera tion to notice is a general demand for Illinois Central shares at the Improved quotation of 7 to 5 dis. The report of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite is sub joined : There hes beta a quiet market for American securities in London during the pest week. There has been mere inquiry for Illinois Central shares, and transactions have been active at improved rates. The proposed loan drags heavily, and subscriptions are not very freely forthcoming without a con cession that the bonds be receivable at par in payment for future calls. Michigan Central Bonds continue in demand, and are extremely scarce, and close at an advance of 6 per cent. We note traneactions in New York Central Six per Cent. Bonds and Pennsylvania Central Bonds at previous rates. To-day a very sharp demand has existed for Illinois shares, and as holders have shown lees disposition to part with them, the price rapidly advanced to 4 die., closing seller to 6 dia. THI7II.IIDAY Eve=nts. The fonds opened this morning with firmness at the highest point of yesterday, but upon the break ing up of the Bank Court speculative sales were pressed, and a fall of 1 per cent. took place. To wards the close buyers came forward, and the mar ket exhibited renewed steadiness, some unfavourable rumours which had been circulated respecting the forthcoming revenue returns being to a considerable extent contradicted by more trustworthy informa tion. The closing quotations were i per cent. below those of yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange, apart from a temporary reaction, undiminished firm ness prevailed. Consols, which closed yesterday (at half-put four o'clock) at 931 to 94 ex div. for the Bth Jan., opened this morning at the same price, fell to 991. to 9-18, and closed at 93} to 1. The official business report is BA follows :—'Three per Cent. Consols, for account (Jan. 8), 931, 94, 9n ,931, ex die. ' • Three per Cents. Reduced, 94/, ; New Three per Ceuta., 94, 941, 931, 93t.

For the February settlement the lest quotation of Consols to-day was 94 3-16 to 6.16 ex the. Exchequer bills were is dearer, closing at par to 4a. prem.

Peruvian Four-and-a- Half per Cents, were last quoted 77 to 79 ; the Dollar Bonds about 60 ; and Mexican Bonds 201 to 21. Spanish Bonds continue to meet with inquiry. A large amount of business was done to-day in Illinois Central Railway shares from 8 to 3 discount. The closing quotation was 6 to 5 die. Bank shares to-day were rather quiet. Bank of Australasia were quoted 11. higher, whilst Union Bank of London have receded to 20 to 21. Tho shares of the two discount companies were inquired for and firm. Canada Land have risen 5/., and British American Land were also dearer. London General Omnibus have improved to 31 to 3t. The dealers being oversold, the shares of this company are scarce at each settlement. Netherlands Land shares have also advanced. Crystal Palace were firm. The shares in the Indus Steam Flotilla have risen to i to 1 prem. MINIA-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The market for British mining stock; remains very quiet. North Basset shares have been dealt in at 111. No other transactions are officially reported in the Stock Exchange. In foreign mining shares, on the other hand, con siderable business is going forward. St. John del Rey shares have been dealt in at 12, 121, and 111; Cobre, at 39 to 391; Copiapo, at 111 to 111 ; San tiago, at 1 j ; and United Mexican, at 41.

At Wheal Sidney the shares on the 23rd inst. were tub divided into 4,096 twitted of 1,024, la heretofore. THERBDAY EVENING. The market for British mining stocks seems some. what steadier in character, but there is still little business going forward. Sortridge Console shares were inquired for, and Wheal Trelawney exhibit an improvement. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARB-LANE.-THIS DAY. The reoeipts this week, with the exception of nwheat, have been small.

Dia l2 I 1/99 19.1 D. a. MINCING-LANE.-THIS DAT. The public market, ;rrill;;Openc7nine;c4;next. The tone of the marketa during Dv holidays has materially strengthened, and in many articles higher prices have been paid by private contracts. SUGAR.—There continuo to be a fair demand, and a few parcels are reported to have been sold by private contract to speculators at about ls. 6d. above the closing prices of last week. The pnblio market remains closed. The annual re port of this very large and important article of commerce has appeared, and presents several interesting features to those concerned in the trade. The year 1857 opened with a stook on hand of 80,500 tons, which wss considerably below that at the commencement of 1856. The present stock, Dec. 31, 1857, is estimated at 95,000 tons, showing an excess of 14,600 tons. The importations for the year 1867 are stated to be 422,000 tons, against 398,000 tons in 1866. The deliveries for hone consumption in 1857 were 376,000 tons against 375,000 tons in 1866. The deliveries for exportation in 1867 were 23,600 tons against 65.600 tons in 1866. The result shows that our importation his exceeded that of last year by nearly 25,000 tons. The deliveries for home con sumpdon for the two yews are about equal. The quantity exported shows a falling off this year of 32,000 tons. The Huctuation in prioes has been very large ; for several months from the commencement of the year prices steadily advanced, and at theckes of June quotation." showed an advance et 14s. to 17s. per cwt. upon rho*. of 1858. In Juiy a re-action took place, prior steadily declined (with a f.m partial revivals), and the present priors show a decline of 20m. to 24.. per cwt. upon the highest point of the market in June, entag a severe lose on holders. Corpse ZACsr;alibusinessOnly done, but at the extreme prices of last week. Te.s.—An advance of fully Id. has been paid on the late lowest point of the market. To-day common Lannon ken sold at 13d., usual terms ; the news by the China mail re porting a further decrease in the shipments from let July to 14th November, say 8 millions this season, has induced holders to ask rather higher prices. Rice has been bought freely at about 3d. advance. In other articles no particular alteration, yet general appearances indicate en improvement on last week. TALLOW MARKET (THIS DAY.)
