WANDSWORTH. IMMO/MCCAW oliAM:c OF BFAaCcio MMUS. William Rule and John Hayden, carmen, in the service of Mr. James Mayo, coa tractor, of the Brighton-road, Lambeth, were finally examined on the charge of stealing tiro bushels of home provender. The prow:vitae stated that he had Dearly 100 man in his employ, and each carmen had a daily allowance of fodder site imSdiant to keep the horses in good condition. land generally during the long and dark sights, be soda:a that his horses looked is if they had bees haff delued, lank, wore, and hollow. Harlon had not been hog with him ; but Rule's horses he noticed particularly as Wog hollow. Other evidence au produced to the effect that on the sight of the 12th inst. the prisosers were seen to draw up at the Rupsrt Arms beer shop in the New.reed, with their hones end eerie, and empty the =teats of two nom begs into a sack which was carried to the shop of a man named James Diamond, a greengrocer, in Charlasotroat. Police Coastable Syrwi went to the shop, where he found a each containing two bushels of horse provender. Diamond was not at home at the time, but the conatable met him with his horse and Cart. He went back to the Irs ahrar i va him, and took possession of three other sacks, each containing hone provender. It also appeared that the daily allowance for each horse was a bushel and a half of provender, and that what remained after the day's OCOWIMP. vial should he returned to the yard. On the day is ques tion the prisoners should have returned home by 5 o'clock, but they did sot, and it was their practice to dawdle about to make out full time, so as to justify their having coosumed all the fodder supplied to them. James Mayo, the prosecutor's eon, who assists him in his balsas, identified the provender in the first sack fated by and said the other fodder in each of the three sacks wee she same description. The ore of Diamoed was disposed of some days ago, and he was committed to the House of Correction for two =maths for the unlawful poression of the three sacks of fodder, the other case not being proved against him. The prisoners in this case denied the charge, and Mr. Ingham fully committed them for trial. A BIGAMISTS LETTER. At the Glasgow Winter Circuit Court, on Wed naday, George Worths= Pearce was charged with the (rime of bigamy, in so far as on Thursday, June 2, 1859, he mitered into a matrimonial coaneation with Jane M'Adeax Cameros, daughter of William Cameron, some time eawebroker, melding at 26, Georgeetreet, Glasgow, his kit wife, Emilia Wevill or Pearce, to whom he was law fully united in St. Peter's Church, Walworth, Lambeth, Barmy, on lit April, 1244, beisg still airs. At the close of the case for the prosecution the clerk of the oourt read the following lettee "Chirnaide, June 23,1861.

Of course, for my own sake (or indeed do I deserve it!) you will show me no mercy ; and could I myself suffer without making you end ibs dear children do so also I would not care, but un fortunately, it is not the case.

I think they will enclose your letter, masa you to state if it was written to me, and if I am your husband. If you answer "Yes" I shall be directly apprehended, end nothing then will save me. I shall have my money from the collector on the 2sB, and will forward you Si. if I possibly can, or even more if the board grant me my pried augmentation. I enclose you a directed envelope for your answer to me, and address this to your mother, so that the people here may not have any clue to my holding any correspondence with you on the subject.

The jary found the prisoner guilty, end he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. NEWBIGGIN, NORTHUMBERLAND, THURSDAY NIGHT. I have the pleasure of reporting another very pliant service of our lifeboat (says the Bev. E. N. Macgin). About 5 o'clock the. morning, a vend was discovered on the rocks at Spital Point, about a mile to the south-west of Newbiggiu ; she proved to be the brigantine Neptune, 325 tons, from New York, bound to Grangemouth, N. 8., and laden with petroleum. The morning was very dark and the master appears not to hays seen the lights, owing to the fog over the land. The ship struck the rocks at about 2 o'clock in the morning, but the signals of aim kegs were not observed till 5 o'clock. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was launched with the utmost promptitude, and succeeded in rescuing the seater and eight men forming the crew and bringing them safely to land. There was a heavy sea on, and there was great danger from the number of rocks surrounding the ship, tendering approach rather hazardous. There is no hope of saving the yowl, as she is full of water. HAUX LEY, NORTHUMBERLAND, Taull-SDAT NIGHT. 1 have to inform you (reports Mr. E.

Torch lights were oburved by the Hensley fisherman, and the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat lestitution was at once Lunched, sod soon reached the vessel.

The attendance of million being small, the trade was in • sluggish state; nevertheless, last week's prices were supported. We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. Good dry samples sold slowly on former terms. In other kiods, so little was doiog that the quotations were almost nominal. The few parcels of fine malting barley on the stands were taken at full prima. Grinding and distilling sorts coin• r . minded very little attention. The currencies were, how. ever, supported. There was a slight improvement in the demand for malt at full quotations. The supply was seasonably good. Oats were inifair average supy and moderate request, in prices no dump took plaos. The sales for beans were heavy, at the late decline in value. Peas mold slowly at about previous rates. The flour trade was quiet. Linseed and repeated were firmer. All other seeds sold heavily. et 11111.141 PRICIL ltsatdaiL Por Qr. Poe Cp. WSW. k a. I OM. I. I.

THE WESTMINSTER FEMALE REFUGE—Dean Stanley, writing to the Times says :—" The Westminster Female Refuge—the only institution of the kind in this neighbourhood—hu, I have reason to believe, been excel lently managed, sod favourable reports have been received of three-fifths° , the number°, those who have found shelter there. It was established surly 10 years ago, holds nine inmates, and is always full to overtlowing. Owing to the withdrawal of a special source of support a year since, there is at present much difficulty in maintaining it at its pre sent expenditure, which in the existing premises cannot be reduced. If, however, 2501. could be raised in the soaping year, the Refuge could be moved, at the ex. piration of its present lease, to a better house, where useful and remunerative employment could be given to the inmates. The leading persons in the neigh bourhood have subscribed as much to its maintenance as with the numerous claims upon them can be expected. But it has been thought that, if the Refuge could once be cleared of its present difficulty, and put at • more perms/et tooth*, there would be • rea -1 usable hope of preserving an institution which has done meek good, and which, if suffered to perish, would leave • void not Wed by any like establishment in these rough districts.

The large addition (1,169,4881.) to the government deposits is usual at the close of the year, but has been accompanied by a diminution of private deposits to the amount of 864,2961., and as the Bank's advances on private securities have at the same time increased 879,4611., the reserve has been trenched upon to the extent of 569,11321. Upon these changes the Bank directors have to-day raised the rate of discount. 710. BANK OF ENGLAND. —Aa Account pennant to the Aet and Nth Vic.. r. St, for the week ending on Wednesday.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE HON. GEORGE DENMAN. Yesterday afternoon the liberal electors of Tiverton pre sented their late representative, the Hon. George Diemen, with s handsome service of plate. The ceremony of present tation took place in tlyi Town-hall at 1 o'clock, the place being crowded. Amongst those present were J. H. Amory, Esq., chairmen, president of the Tiverton Liberal Astacus tion ; Mr. W. Kiogleks, DLP.• Serjeant Kinglike, Mr. Morrison, M.P.; Mr. Barclay . M.P. ; Mr. Aclsod, 11. P.; J. Tyrrell, E-q., recorder of Tive rton; Mrs. Denman, Mrs. Amory, Kr. Rowe. late mayor, and several ladies. After the presentation of the testimonial &dinner WU given. The company were addressed by Mr. Denman. Mr. Cole rdge, M.P., Mr. Aclend, M.P., Mr. Morrison, M.P., Poe joint Kinglike, M.P., end others. The subject of par liamentary reform was discussed at great length, sad en nosnimous feeling expressed that every libeeal should sup port the government in carrying out a compreheasive measure. Great enthusiasm prevailed. THE LATE FRAUDS BY HOYEBSAL MANITIACTI7- RIB-S.—Yesterday, Walter Blackburn, brother to the menßlßS.—Yesterday, composing the firm of G. and J. Blackburn, sloth emu lecturers. Gomersal, near Leeds. adjudtrated some time since, in consequence of their having =sl to America, and taken with them large quantities of goods, with the view to defraud their creditors, was brought be. the Dewsbury beach, oe a charge of conspiracy. Mr. Bold, of Leeds, prosecuted, sad the prisoner was defended by Mr. A. Granger. It was made oat that the prisms, had acted in (mead with his brothers, and had bought from them large quantities of goede when in America, end give, in payment bills lit twelve months. lie had DON: ma'am any goods before, he had no rails, and had wanly base employed as an ordinary workmen. The bench sonsinitted him to the assizes for conspiracy, but agreed to isooopt boil, himself in 1,0001., and two aunties of 5001. mob. The memorial in favour of closing the Stock Exchange on Monday next (Neer Year's Day) has been signed by about 500 of the members of that establishment, and will be taken into consideration by the committee to-day. Seeing the general nature of the holiday observed on Tuesday last, many persons consider that the committee made a mistake—besides setting a bad example—in keep ing the Stock Exchange open on that day. The memorial above referred to is thus d propos, as suggesting a fair compensation to those who were deprived of the customary relief from business on the day following Christmas-day. THWIEDAT Brume. Consols, which closed yesterday at 87a to it ex div., for the 9th January, opened and closed to-day at 871 to I. For money the last prioe w to as 874 1. At one period the prices were a per cent. below these rates. lb. official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for= money, 871, •; ditto, for account, 87 1 ; Three pe Ceuta.

Bank of England stock declined 1 per cent., closing at 243 to 247. Indian government securities were quiet. Ex chequer Bills were unaltered at de. to 2e. die. In the foreign stock market the transactions were upon a limited scale, and the general course of prices was again unfavourable. - Buenos Ayres Deferred Bonds declined 1 per cent. ; Russian of 1822, ; Mexican, Turkish of 1862 and 1865, Ita lian of 1865, and New Grenadian, 1 ; and Bra zilian scrip, A. Spanish Passive Bonds and the Committee's Certificates were in exceptional request, and rose a per cent. Bank shares were quiet, and very few variations occurred in prices. Chartered Mercantile of India, European, and South Australian Bank advanced, while London and Brazilian declined. The shares of the financial companies were little dealt in, but there was a recovery of 7s. 6d. in London Financial. Imperial Mercantile Credit, on the other hand, declined 2s. 6d. The closing quotations were as follows :—lnternational Finan cial, 1 to 14 prem.; General Credit, 2/ to a. prem. ; London Financial, 41 to 1 prem. ; Imperial Mer cantile Credit, 2a to a prem. ; Credit Foncier and Mobilier, to prem., ex div. and new. National Discount snares were last quoted 114 to 124 prem., showing a alight fall ; Joint Stock 11 to 1 din. ; Hudson's Bay, 16k to 1 ; and Ottoman Socidtd Chnirale, 34 to 4 prem. The shares of Overend, Gurney, and Co. were steady, closing at 64 to a prem. Ebbw Vale im proved, but Australian Agricultural, Egyptian Commercial and Trading, and Union Marine In surance receded. The shares of Hewett and Co. left off at / to 11 prem. The closing (but in some cases nominal) quota tions for shares in new undeitakinp were as follow : London Steam Towing, 1 to 2 prem. ; Charles Laffitte and Co., 2 to 24 prem. ; English sad American Bank, 12 to 2 prem.; Anglo-Romano Water, 1/ to 24 prem. American securities were in demand, and a re covery took place. Illinois Central Railway shares were in prominent request, and impravell 1 per cent. Erie also advanced a, and the 5.20 Bonds 2. The following were the latest prices, viz. :-5.20 Bonds, 64 1 4 to 654 ; Erie Railway shares, 571 to 1; Illinois Central, 81 to 4 ; Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, 84 to 85 ; ditto small, 85 to 86 ; ditto, Mortgage Bonds, scrip, to 11 prem. Mauritius Government Debentures declined 1 per cent., owing to the announcement of a fresh issue. Victoria debentures also gave way to the extent of / per cent. (the amount held on Wednesday evening), being a difference of 1,061,9301., and the reserve has id fallen from 8,531,0721. to 7,591,2671.—a reduc tion of 939,8051. Of this diminution, 469,3071. in the coin and bullion and 569,5321. in the reserve ilea taken place in the week ending Wednes day. The Bank directors doubtless consider that they would not be justified in allowing the draught upon their resources to proceed farther without applying the usual corrective. In former times s 7 per cent. rate of discount would not have been resorted to with nearly thirteen a nd a half millions I of coin and bullion, and upwards of seven and a half millions of reserve ; but it has become evident during the last year or two that the Bank directors have determined to put a more stringent interpretation upon the provisions of the Act of 1844. To the operation of this law is almost exclusively due the fact that the value of money is now, and has been for some time past, considerably higher here than in the other great markets of Europe. The Bank directors, of course, are not to be blamed, because they have only to deal with the law as it exists, but the effect is none the less hard upon the trade of the country, and surprise can scarcely be felt if it provokes some impatience, especially considering that the amount both of the bullion and of the reserve is far in excess of all probable requirements. The period selected for the alteration is certainly inconvenient, as many financial calculations in the final closing of the year's books are thereby disturbed. As most of the banks and discount establishments, in settling the year's accounts,take the rebate at the Bank of England rate of the day, a sum of rather considerable amount in the aggregate, which would have been distributed as dividends in January and February, must now be held over for at least six months. The fact that considerably less than one-half of the amount of the decrease shown in last night's Bank return is traceable to a foreign drain, suggests the somewhat encouraging inference that the present rise in the value of money will give an impulse to die the exchanges. This may afford some compensa tion for the otherwise less favourable financial condition in which we are about to enter upon the business of the new year. Some curiosity is expressed to learn whether the Bank of France will follow the movement taken by the Bank of England. It seems scarcely possible that the rate can remain in Paris at 4 per cent. while our charge is 7. The City of New York has brought 80,5001. in specie from New York, and the Bremen, 52,0001., for England. There were again no bullion trans actions at the Bank, but, the above-mentioned sup plies from New York were all taken for Paris. There were fewer transactions in the silver market yesterday, owing to the rise in the value of money, but the quotations for bar silver and Mexi can dollars remain firm, at the advance of Wednes day. A large amount of silver has been purchased for transmission by the next steamers to Bombay, whence the exchange comes quoted, under date of the 26th instant, lees favourably for England, at 2s. 2d., as against 2e. lid., the rate received on the 21st. The directors of the Anglo-Italian Bank have announced a call of 5/. per share (making 201. called), payable by Saturday, the 27 th Januar y . This call is rendered necessary by the extension of the operations of the bank, and by: the opening of new branches at Naples and. Genoa. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,4821. over last year ; the London and South Western an increase of 3,591/. ; the North Eastern an increase of 9,9681. ; theNoth British an increase of 2,502/.; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire au increase of 3,563 1 . ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an increase of 2,1521. ; the Metropolitan Extension an increase of 1,2251. ; and the Kent Coast an increase of 3601.
