CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Baron Charnell) Koet, 18, a very good-looking girl, was charged tpn an indictment and also by the coroner's inquisition ir.th the wilful murder of her female illegitimate child. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted ; and Mr. Ribtoia was counsel for the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh opened the came as one is which the evidence was not sufficient to support the charge of murder, as, ac cording to the medical evidence it wee very doubtful whether the child whose death was the subject of inquiry had been born alive or not. It was the old melancholy story of a poor girl being seduced and deserted by her be trayer, and the destruction of the offspring by some means or other ; but the necessary legal evidence was wanting to support the serious charge made against the prisoner, and the learned counsel, therefore, only asked for a conviction for the offence of endeavouring to conceal the birth. • Mr. Ribton said he could not . strumile widest a conviction for this offence, and Use jury, therefore, found the prisoner guilty of the misdemeanour, and she was sentenced to nine months' bard labour. MANSLACGHTZE. Pa', irk Ha'w.s, 31, soldier, was charged with the man shughter of Cornelius Daley. )Ir. Orndge and Mr. Hawthorne conducted the prose cution on behalf of the Home-offimi. The facts of this case were very abort The prisoner and the deceased were 000 fined in the Mi!Hank Penitentiary, under convictions for felony, and it appeared that the de ceased had made some communication to one of the warders relative to the prisoner, which had given him offence, and he took the opportunity. while the pri se:len were performing some of the prison operatioes, to attack the deceased, aed he struck bite a blow on the wee, which knocked him down, and while he vas upon the ground, he knelt upon him and struck him bl-es. The deceased bled violently at the nose, but no serious cciaequences were anticipated, bat on the fol. loving morning he died, the cause of death being, according to the evidence of Mr. Grover, the medical officer of the prim)°, the shock to the system from the attack made upon and the loss of blood. It appeared that the deceased was in a weak state of health, and this probably . accounted for the fatal result that took place, as the injuries inflicted by the prisoner were not in themselves at all of a serious dancer. TLe prisoner, in his dehisce, said that he had no intention to do the deceased coy serious misehist . The jury found the rimier Gritty. and he was sentenced to le imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.)

The stock markets to-day have been rather list, owing to unfavourable rumours relative to foreign politics. The funds, after slightly receding, have returned to yesterday's closing quotation. Several of the principal speculative foreign stocks are rather worse. Home railway securities present little change. At Faris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66fr. 70c., being bc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 91 to 1 for money, and 911 to for the account (March 8). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 91 ; ditto, for account, 911 ; Three per Cents.

Foreign stocks are fiat. There is a decline of 1 per cent, in Mexican and Spanish Passive, in Turkish Bonds of 1868, and in the Con solidi*. Some of the present quotations are annexed, viz., Turkish of 1868, 671 to 681, ex div. ; ditto 1862, 69 to 1 ; the Consolidsis, 501 to ; Mexican, 421 to 1 ; Passive, 351 to ; and Confederate, 42 to 45 "ex all." Transactions are recorded as follows :—Braziliau, 1852, 1838, 1860, 861 ; ditto 1863, 871 ; Dutch Certificates, 1011 ; Egyptian, 100, ex div. ; Greek for account, 22 ; Italian, 661 ; Mexican, for account, 424, 1, 42, 1 ; Portuguese, 1853, 471; ditto, 1856, &c., for account, 471; Spanish, 52} ; ditto Passive, for account, 351, 1, 35, ; ditto Certificates, for account, 14 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 91 ; ditto, 1858, for account, 681, ditto, 1001.

To-day and to-morrow about 500,0001. will be disbursed in dividends on certain classes of stock by the Loudon and North Western, Midland, and Great Western Railway Companies. The first half-yearly drawing for the redemption of the Confederate Cotton Loan, at par, took place yesterday, and the numbers are published of 185 bonds, representing 71,30 W., which have been drawn, this amount being one-fortieth of 2,848,500!., the amount of the loan at this date unredeemed by cotton. The numbers are published of 20 hot& of the Danish Four per Cent. Loan of 1830-1861 which have been cancelled. In the absence of any important demand for goad for exportation, the influx to the Bank continues. The amount &gut into that establishment yesterday was 83,000!. Of the 209,0001. by the Shannon, from the West Indies, 144,5001. is silver and 64,5001. gold. It appears that the steamer from California and that from the West Coast of South America arrived at Panama too late to allow of their specie being sent by this opportunity, although the mails from those quarters have been brought forward. The packet due at Southampton in the middle of this month is consequently expected to bring a large amount of bullion. The steamer Seine, for the West Indies, will take to-day about 128,30j1. in gold. The demand for bills on the Continent continued yesterday afternoon, and the rates were Rain in several inotanees somewhat below those quoted on Friday. The list is annexed.

The object is to purchase and extend the business of the Thames Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company (Limited) at Blackwall—an undertaking which was established in 1857, and has attained a high character for building ships of the largest class. To the existing business of the company two new branches, viz., graving docks and engineering, are to be added. The existing contracts of the old company, amount ing to upwards of a million and a quarter sterling, and including orders for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, are to be transferred to the new association. All the directors of the old company retain their interest and position in the new one, the board of which is composed as follows : Mr. Peter Rolt (chairman), Captain John Ford (managing director), Lord Alan Spencer Churchill, Mr. John Bonus, of Cannon-street ; Mr. Frank Clark Hills, of Denmark-hill • Mr. John S. Mar getaou, of Cheapeide ; and Mr. 'William Jackson, of Imidephall-street. The purchase money of the business, goodwill, contracts, plant, landed property, &c., is fixed at 275,0001., of which the shareholders in the old company are tereoeive 150,0001. in fully paid-up shares, and 125,000/. in debentures of the new company, bearing interest at 5 per oent. per annum. It will be remembered that the directors of the Royal Insurance Company took ou themselves to reimburse all their policy holders for the damage occasioned by the explosion of the Lotty Sleigh, at Liverpool, although it is admitted that no insur ance companies are legally liable. One of the share holders having impugned the right of the directors to act thus, the Vice-Chancellor, after an elaborate argument, has decided that the deed of settlement of the Company gives the directors full power to place *liberal construction on the rules of the Com pany. The plaintiff's bill was therefore dismissed with costs. The annual meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Company is convened for the 16th March. - - . On the 9th inst.
