MONEY MAR !CET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. The Bank of England return, completed to the 18th January, shows some rather important changes. In the bullion there is a further decrease of over a quarter of a million sterling, and the reserve of notes has been diminished by about half a million, show ing that the advance in the rate of discount was fully justified. The other securities, owing to the repayment of loans, &c., have been reduced by about a quarter of a million, while a large decrease is shown in both the public and private deposits. The active circulation has been augmented about a quarter of a million. The various sums, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. .. .. £22,053,140 Increase .. .. .. .. 221,820 Bullion .. .. • • .. .. 16,884,498 Decrease .. .. .. .. 339,631 Rest 3,284,484 Increase .. .. .. .. 33,756 Public Deposits .. .. .. 5,166,269 De3realie .. .. .. .. 398,666 Other Deposits 14 , 850,764 Decrease .. .. .. .. 692,715 Seven Day and other Bills 869,347 Increase .. .. .. .. 46,908 Government Securities .. .. 10,813,822 Decrease .. .. 160,000 Other Securities .. 19,593,664 Decrease .. • . .. 299,266 Not.; Unemployed .. • . 7,589,865 Decrease . • .. 580,876 In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday rather less animation prevailed ; prices, however, exhibited no change of importance.

" Where's the coward that would not dare To fight for such a land "—Scort Sin,—At a late meeting of the Royal London Yacht Club, it was proposed by an old officer, and eloquently seconded by the Rev. Mr. Cook, that in future it would be advisable to select the yacht crews from the Coast Volun teer Reserve only. It was not urged that *►e old yacht sailor should not be employed, but alleged as as inducement to the younger men to volunteer in defence of the country, in order to get permanently employed in gentlemen's yachts. - It would thus be a double advantage : first, to the Go ..eatutont, as these men would always be at home ; and aec ° 44 dly to themselves, inasmuch as they could serve in the yachts in the summer, and in the leisure hours of the winter learn t he exercise of artillery, and merit the provision which Government has so liberally awarded to those at tached to the Reser ve . I have little further to add than I thought the movement admirably adapted to the exigencies of the case, as by this means we might obtain a few thousand seamen who have nothing to learn but gunnery to make them efficient in all respects for the proposed defence of the country. Your humble servant, AN OLD TAR. THE NEW DRAMA AT TEE NEW ADELP.HL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —I thank you for your flattering notice of the re production of the " Dead Heart" on Monday last, but, in the absensa of the author, Mr. Watts Phillips, I beg leave respectfully to state that this drama has never been " ac knowledged to be from the French," as asserted in your notice. It is perfectly original from first to last, to my knowledge—not even adapted from a novel, which does not, in my humble opinion, entitle a drama to be styled original. I trust you will do this justice to a young and talented author, who has nothing but fame to live on. I am, sir, yours obediently, B. WEBSTER. New Theatre Royal Adelphi, Jan. 18, 1860. THE BRUTAL MURDERS ON BOARD THE 4.31E81C.AN SHIP ANNA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) APPREHENSION OF THE TWO MATES. The two mates, charged with murdering five of the crew on their voyage to this country, under circumstances of unparalleled atrocity, and who, it will be remembered, underwent an examination before the magistrate at Cowes, but were discharged owing to that court having no jurisdiction in the matter, were this morning taken out of the ship by the American Consul from Southampton. We learn that the case of 'the Rev. Mr. Hatch will be brought before the Court of Queen's Bench on Monday next by Mr. Edwin James, who has been retained en his behalf. THE FATAL EXPLOSION AT DARBY'S FIREWORK FACTORY.—Yesterday Mr. William Payne, the coroner for London and Southwark, held an inquest in the theatre of Guy's Hospital on the bodies of the two persons who lost their lives at the fire which took place on the firework fac tory of Mr. Darby, the firework manufacturer in Regent street, Lambeth-walk .n Monday evening last. The jury returned a verdict " that the two persons, Thomas Aderley Taylor and Frederick Joseph Watts died from the effects of injuries caused by an explosion, accidentally occasioned in the firework factory of Mr. Darby on Monday night last." The coroner said that the verdict did not excuse Mr. Darby from carrying on his business in such a place. tephd oder. toy Lralif i g t lock 1 " its to t late, ie The 9- (',o and o tartl e t tell g:e 3 IWO, Fre e° 6o o , l deco 0 f -1 rds 6 'tali re ° fr oll of th e diff, SHARE MARKET.-( THIS DAY.)

ITALY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIRD EDITION. BUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. The Parma Gazette, alluding to the statements made in a Turin journal relative to the late dis turbances, gives the following account of what really occurred :—" Some individuals, impelled by the mania of showing themselves more Italian than the Italians themselves, or perhaps for the pur pose of showing their great heroism, had, during the night, written on the walls of some houses, 'We will have Garibaldi !' Two persons, sus pected of having taken part in this heroic mission, were arrested by a patrol of the national guard, but on the following morning, as there was no proof against them, the Intendant-General gave orders for their release. It so happened that some partisans of those individuals, being ignorant of their liberation, went in a tumultuous manner to the National Guards' barracks and insulted those on duty. Seeing theifirm attitude assumed by that force, they soon after retired, and quiet was again restored." POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) DESPERATE AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A. CON STABLE.—Stephen Murray, a drunken, dissolute tailor, was charged with the following desperate assault on police constable Simmons, 118 C, who, in consequence of the severe injuries he had received, was unable to attend. Jonathan Barnes, 52 C, said that about one o'clock that morning, while on duty in Warwick-street, he heard the springing of a rattle, and on going into Silver-street saw Simmons, 118 C, bleeding from a wound on his head, and he told him the prisoner had assaulted him. He then took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said that shortly after one o'clock that morning police-constable Simmons, 113 C, came to the Tine-street station bleeding very pro fusely from a wound on the head. He asked how it was done, and he said that, having gone round his beat two or three times, and seeing the prisoner sitting in Naylor's yard, he told him to go away, when he immediately got up, struck him a severe blowon the mouth, knocking him into the road, causing his head to come in contact with the stones. He then sprung his rattle, and assistance came to him. He believed the constable was in danger of his life. Sergeant Glass said he was on duty at the station when the prisoner was charged ; and about three o'clock, finding the injured constable was unable to attend, he entered the charge, and read it ever to the prisoner, who at that time was nearly sober. He had since been to the yard, and there saw a quantity of blood and some of the hair of the constable. 11r. Inspector Grant, of the C division, said the constable was in a very dangerous condition, and handed in the following certificate : " I certify that William Simmons, 118 C, is confined to his bed with a severe and dangerous scalp wound, with the upper lip much contused, and the loss of two or three teeth, caused by a lalow while in the execution of his duty. FREDX.. TOTHILL, Surgeon, 8, Charles-street, St. James's-square." The prisoner, at the request of Inspector Grant, was remanded to see the result of the wounds the injured man has received, there being reason to believe he is in a dan gerous state.

A PRECOCIOUS GlRL.—Mary Ann Coltman, a little, sullen girl, only nine years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with robbing her father, James Coltman, of several articles of wearing apparel, with which she ab sconded from her father's home, in James-street, Bromley. The prisoner was charged with robbing her father 12 months ago, and forgiven on account of her tender years. She was again charged with a similar offence, about seven or eight weeks after, and then sererelyreprimanded by-the magistrate, and warned that if she did not discontinue her dishonest practices she would be sent to prison, and afterwards to a reformatory. She absconded from her home yesterday, with two capes, a silk scarf, and a brown holland jacket. She wandered about the street in Poplar, until half-past 2 o'clock this morning, when a policeman questioned her and passed her on towards her home, until she reached the corner of Park-street, Bromley, when she was recognised by a constable named Major, No. 269 K, who had been informed of the robbery, and he took her into custody. Some of the stolen articles had been left by the girl with her godmother, a cape was left at a house in the East India-road, and the remainder of the stolen articles were on her person when she was taken into custody. James Coltman, the father of the girl, said that he had provided a good home for his children, at least such a home as a poor hard-working man could provide. The girl lost her mother two years ago, and had been for the last twelve months pursuing her wayward and dishonest practices. . _ Mr. Self. said the father of the girl appeared to be a well conducted and intelligent man, and asked him if he had ever sent his girl to school. IVitnees—l have, sir. To Mr. Green's school in Poplar, and if she had continued to go there, she would have been a good girl. _ Mr. Selfe—You aro an Irishman. Coltman—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—What religion are you ? Coltman—l am a Protestant. Mr. Selfe—l ask you the question because I am bound to send children of the Protestant religion to a Pro testant Reformatory, and children of the Roman Catholic religion to a Roman Catholic Reformatory. Do you go to church or chapel ? Cattman—To a church, sir. I am a member of the Church of England. Mr. Selfe—Have you any objection to pay towards the maintenance of your daughter if I send her to an Institu tion? Colman—None, sir. Mr. Selfo sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for 14 days, with hard labour, and afterwards to be sent to a Reformatory for five years, and made an order on her father to pay 3s. a week towards her maintenance. 2 1118 DAY'S MARKETS.

IN RE THRRINS.-BANKEUPT PETITION. This was a petition and appeal from a decision of Mr. Commissioner Sands, of Birmingham, disallowing an offered composition by the bankrupt of 2s. 6d. Their lord ships refused the petition with deposit costs (£10). ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) ADSHEAD V. NEEDHAM. This cause came on to be mentioned this morning. His Honour said—On further consideration of this case I have come to the same conclusion I expressed yesterday. I am of opinion that whore a water-cut or sluice is made in the lands to conduct the water from the property in the neighbourhood it is competent for the proprietor through whose land the water passes to make it serviceable to carry the water from his lands. It never was intended to oppose or shut up the sluice. They might add to it, provided they did not throw the surplus water on the lands of the other party. This sluice is within the line of boundary of the defend ant's property, and it was used for the purpose of drain ing his mine. The defendant asserted that it was used for the purposes of the mine, and ho did not alter more or less its natural course. There was no impediment for that purpose, therefore the bill must be dismissed with costs. But then I must consider what I am to do with the costs of the motion heard before mo on the Ist of August last. His Honour considered the conduct of the parties highly honourable; for when it was discovered that the workings of the now mine penetrated into the old mine, contrary to the spirit of the understanding, they were immediately stopped. His Honour allowed no costs of affidavits filed before the Ist of August. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barone Bramwell and Martin.) GENERAL BEATSON V. SKENE. This morning, Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict which had been given for the defendant in this cause should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence, misdirection—the learned judge hav ing left the question as to whether the communication made by defendent was a privileged one or not, whereas, that being a question of law, the judge should have decided R— and also that the documents material in the plaintiff's case, held by a public officer, should have been produced. At the conclusion of the learned gentleman's argument, The Court took time to consider its decision. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary, Baron Channell, and Justice Keating.) WOOD V. WOOD. This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty and desertion. Mr. Mainsty and Dr. Spinks were for the petitioner, and Mr. Kemp appeared for the respondent. The petitioner was the daughter of a licensed victualler, who carried on business in London, and the respondent was a distiller, residing in Mile-end-road. The parties were married in 1848, and cohabited till 1850, when they sepa rated in consequence of the ill-usage of the husband. Mr. Walker, the father of the petitioner, said the re spondent was in the constant habit of ill-using his wife. His conduct was most brutal. His wife left him and re turned to him on his promising to act more kindly to her for the future. His promise he did fulfil, and Mrs. Wood left him and did not again return. He (witness) had had an interview with a female named Drake in the presence of respondent after the final departure of his daughter and learned the nature of his intimacy with another woman. Mrs. Sarah Ann Wood, the petitioner, said—l am the wife of the respondent. Six weeks after our marriage he began to ill-use me. He began by finding fault with everything I did. In 1849 he refused to speak to me or to sleep in the same bed. Some time after he used to act with great brutality towards me. On one occasion he twisted my apron string so tightly round my neck that I thought he would kill me. I sent to my father and told him of the respondent's conduct. My husband promised my father to act more kindly towards me, but he did not keep his word. We used to quarrel about his familiarity with the servant. My father wished me to leave him. My husband said if the servant left, and we provided ourselves with another, we could live comfortably. This was the last week in the year 1849. The servant left, and in a week afterwards my husband told me I could go as soon as I pleased as the marks of ill-usage had disappeared. He used to "bump" me as he called it. Ho used to tell me to go away every night for some time, as he wished me to quit him of my accord, as then he would not have to allow me anything. Hecontinued his ill-usage for some time longer. A short time before our separation he called me the most opprobrius names before a person named Kendal. I then sent for my father, and he took me away. Cross-examined—l was not in the habit of remaining out late without my husband's permission. He said I ought not to go out without his leave. It was not in consequence of my mother's interference that my husband acted with cruelty towards me. It was not necessary for my husband to be out late at night. He did not follow any other avoca tion but a distiller. The servant saw the marks on my neck after my husband had attempted to strangle me. Ann Sullivan—ln 1849 I was in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Wood. Ho used to treat her very unkindly. I have seen him strike her on four different occasions. The mis tress never appeared to please him. He threw a candle stick at her, which hurt her very much. I remember him dragging her into the hall. When I went to see what was the matter, I saw Mrs. Wood's mouth full of ►lood. I recollect on one occasion his returning home early- in the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Wood quarrelled, and on my going upstairs Mrs. Wood showed me the marks of her apron-string 'round her throat. I told Mr. Wood if he continued his ill-usage I would call in the police. He made no reply, and I left the room. Mrs. Caroline Newman—My name before marriage was Baldry. I know Mr. Wood very well. I used to see him In Cleveland-street in 1853. I became intimate with him and became a mother. The child was born in Feb., 1855, and died is the same year. While it was alive I applied to Mr. Wood for support. I had to go to a magistrate before he did so. Mrs. Drake had charge of the child after its birth. Mr. Wood on one occasion paid Mrs. Drake £4 for the support of the child. Mrs. Drake proved the payment, and also the agreement oh the part of Mr. Wood to pay 10s. a month. Mr. Kemp, en the part of the respondent, said he could not struggle against such evidence. _ _ _ The Judge Ordinary pronounced a decree dissolving the marriage, with costs against respondent, and giving the mother charge of her child until it arrived at the age of 14 SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Decent.) THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY V. ASIITON This was an action to recover the sum of 2s. 6d., the dif•• ference of fare In travelling in one of the company's carriages. Mr. Ashley appeared for the company, and stated the case. On the 9th November last defendant took a return ticket by an express train to Cambridge. On arrriving at Stratford, on his return, he was asked for his ticket, which' was for a second-class, and he was in a first-class earriago, but he refused to pay the difference, and complained that there were no warm water pipes for his feet, and said that the ctrriage he was riding in was not superior to that for which he had a ticket—the up-train being an ordinary train. He was applied to formally and made the same re ply, and was then summoned for the amount. The com pany had no hot water in such carriages, and on other lines they were paid for extra. Defendant did not appear, and his Honour considered neither of the grounds a sufficient defence, and ordered the amount claimed to be paid to the company. EX PARTE Mr Beard applied to the Court for leave to amend the award of the arbitrator in a case which had been referred. He said there was an obvious error, which the Court could rectify. Mr. Angell, on the other side, objected. The Court had no power to alter the terms of the award, at all events, not without notice to all parties. His Honour said he had nothing to do with it. The case was not in court—it had been referred to arbitration. Mr. Board submitted that the case was still before the Court, and stood adjourned. His Honour—No more so than in any similar case in the superior courts. There would be a rule of court to enter judgment on the arbitration. At all events, I can do nothing unless all the parties are before me. Mr. Board said he would give notice and move on a future day. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

IRELAND, DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. THE IRISH JUDICIAL BENCH. For the 20th time within the last few years the report is revived that Mr. Justice Perrin, now in his 76th year, is about to retire from the Court of Queen's Bench. The rumour is given to-day by the Morning News, with quite an air of circum stantiality, as follows : "We are informed on good authority that this venerable Judge, who during the last few months has suffered from continued indisposition, will not again take his seat on the bench. In arranging the circuits for the ensuing Lent Assizes, the Judges have substituted Mr. Sergeant Howley for Mr. Justice Perrin, in consequence of an intimation from the latter of his inability to leave home. We have rea son to believe that the resignation of the learned Judge, if not already tendered, will be in the hands of the Government within a brief period. Specu lation is, of course, on the qui vice with respect to the probable successor to the vacant seat in the Court of Queen's Bench ; but the opinion of the bar seems to be that either the Solicitor-General or Mr. Sergeant O'llagan will be the most likely ap pointee." In the circuit list published this morning, the going Judges for the north-west circuit are set down as "the Chief Baron, Justice Perrin, or Ser geant Howley." THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRACY. A vacancy in the roll of paid magistrates has been created by the demise of Mr. B. H. Holmes. His death. according to a Fermanagh paper, was quite sudden, he having dropped down on Tuesday in a fit of apoplexy, which immediately proved fatal. He was stationed in tho north for 12 years, and was extremely popular with all parties. LANDED ESTATES COURT. The Tipperary estates of Mr. John Prendergast were put up yesterday in seven lots, the whole of which realised about £20,000. The rates of pur chase were generally high. The owner of the pro perty was the petitioner in the matter. MAYO FOR TFIR POPE. Archbishop M'Hale has somewhat tardily taken the field in defence of spiritual despotism. He has summoned a meeting of his subjects, to be held at Castlebar on Tuesday, the ith of February next. The requisition, which fills nearly a page of a local paper, is graced by the signature of a real live tem poral lord, Baron Ffrench. There are also the names of fourteen magistrates appended to the document, and, as for the devoted clergy, the num ber is quite past counting. THE LATE MR. MASSEY O'GRADY. (By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.) DUBLIN, Friday. The body of Mr. Massey O'Grady was dis covered yesterday in a river that runs near New pallas station, county Limerick. It appears to have been in the water for some time. METROPOLI7'AN BOARD OF WORKS. The usual weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Wrorks was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which showed a total cash balance of £413,057 ss. 10d. Payments were ordered to be made to the amount of £10,253 14s. ld. BILL FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE METROPOLIS MANAGEMENT ACT. Mr. Deputy HARRISON asked the standing coun sel of the Board, Mr. Woolrych, when the Bill for the amendment of the Metropolis Management Act would he ready ? Mr. WOOLRYCII stated that he hoped to be able to furnish the bill in about three weeks. SOUTHERN OUTFALL, MAIN SEWER. Mr. CRELLIN, pursuant to notice, moved, " That the order of the Board of the 6th of January, 1860, accepting a tender for the construction of the t• Jrks for the Southern Outfall Sewer, with the condition that se curity should te given for £20,000, be so far varied as to ad mit of the reduction thereof to £lO,OOO, and that the secu rity be £lO,OOO accordingly." The motion was agreed to after some discussion. THE NORTHERN HIGH-LEVEL CONTRACTS. Mr. TITE, M.P., wished, while the subject of contracts was under discussion, to make an obser vation upon an article which had appeared in the Observer of Sunday last, and copied into the %imes, on the subject of the difference hetwtcn the amount of the contract taken by Mr. Brother hood, of Chippenham, at £282,000, and that pro posed by Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Betts, which was £431,000. He wished to point out that Mr. Bazalgette's (the engineer) estimate was £291,000, and although Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Bett's estimate was £431,000, yet there was the firm of George Baker and Co., who were the contractors for the British Museum, also the contractors for the Plymouth Dock tendered for this work at £294,000, , which was within £3,000 of Mr. Bazalgette's esti mate, and he considered that firm was quite as com petent to do works of this description as Messrs. Peto and Brassey, as far as capacity and respecta bility were concerned. He considered that it was no part of the duty of the Board to investigate the difference between contractors, or to inquire why one contractor required £431,000 to do works which another firm, equally respectable, was willing to execute for £290,000. He conceived that all the Board had to do was to see that the work was pro perly executed according to the contract; and, if they were to ask those gentlemen why they charged so much more than other contractors, of course they would refuse to assign their reasons for doing so. He would beg to call the attention of the Board to a circumstance more particularly under his own cognizance with reference to the subject,—he meant the contract for building the Royal Exchange, a work which had elicited universal satisfaction ; and while, as regards other buildings of magnitude and importance, innumerable complaints had been made now and then as to the perishable nature of the stone of which they were built, no indication of decay was to be found at the Royal Exchange, the con tract for which was taken by Mr. Jackson, of Pim lico, at between 30 and 40 per cent. less than the highest tender. He might also refer incidentally to the difference between the contracts for the Hanwell Asylum, the one that was taken having been £46,000, while the highest tender was £63,000, and as regarded the Chelsea new vestry hall, the contract for the building of which was taken at £5,200, being £2OO less than the estimated price of the superintending architect. The highest contract was absolutely £lO,OOO. It merely proved that builders in many cases must make enormous profits; but he thought he had stated to them sufficient to show that such dif ferences were constant, as reference to newspapers in the building interests could testify. Without understanding the duties of the Board, it was now the fashion of newspapers and others to find fault with their proceedings. NEW-STREET TO COVENT-GARDEN;DELAY OF WORKS. The following letter in reference to the delay in tho formation of the new street from King-street, Long-acre, was received from the Strand District Board of Works . "The Board of Works for the Strand District, Jan. 15. " Sir,—l am directed by the Board to call the attention of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in the strongest pos sible language of remonstrance, to the long and unaccount able delay which is taking place in the formation of the new street to Long-acre. They are overwhelmed with complaints of the inhabitants of the locality to the serious, and, in some cases, almost ruinous effect on their business by this delay. In the first instance the Board were in formed that the Metropolitan Board were advised to take no steps until the whole of the funds necessary for the pur chase of the houses was in hand. That point has many months since been obtained, yet still unsightly blocks of houses stand in the way and nothing really effective has been done. Surely your Board has under the Act of Par liament sufficiently extensive power to carry out its work. A railway company having the funds would soon have found out the way. No legal difficulties of title can be pleaded, because the purchase money could be paid into court, and if the present legal advisers of the Board are too occupied or too timorous for the work in hand, my Board earnestly entreat, on behalf of their suffering ratepayers, that the matter may be placed in other hands, and some more decided and energetic steps may be at once taken to carry out the street, failing which my Board very much fear that the public voice will be brought to bear by an organised local agitation on the subject. "I am, &c., "J. II LEWIS, Clerk to the Board." " J. Pollard, Esq. The letter was received and ordered to be ac knowledged, with explanations. Mr. Deputy HARRISON observed that he thought the streets were not proceeded with as fast as they ought, and he believed the real reason to be that the solicitors were not paid enough for the amount of work they had to do. With regard to the Southwark and West minster communication, they had obtained the whole of the money required, at a large rate of interest, which was lying at deposit at much less, and it would be an absolute saving to the Board to increase the legal staff, irrespective of the fact that they were not obtaining rates which would accrue from the new houses that were to be built. They had absolutely obtained the powers and money for making the street a year and a half ago, and there were not more than 20 houses down at the present time. NEW RAILWAYS FOR THE METROPOLIS. The engineer reported that he had insp ec t e d th e Par li amen tary plans of projected railways i n th e me t r opolis for which bills were now b e f ore Parlia ment, and the solicitor was inst ruc t e d t o t a k e s t e p s t o protect the interests of the Board. PROPOSED INCREASE OF THE SALARIES OF THE OFFICERS OF THE BOARD. A report was brought up from the Finance Com mittee recommending an increase in the salaries of various officers, amounting in the aggregate to £9OO per annum, the consideration of which, on the mo tion of Mr. F. Doulton, was deferred for a month, Mr. Doulton and Mr. D'lffanger declaring that their intention wax to oppose any increase in their present expenses. Some other business wax disposed of, and the Board adjourned. THE LATE MTSTERIO US MURD2Ut IN PARIS. The Gazette dos Tribunaux says :—" The sup. posed author of the assassination committed in Rue Sainte-Anne, upon the girl Marie Tourtoulon called Celina, has just been placed in the hands of justice by the chief of the service of safety. " We said yesterday, when giving the details of the crime, that it had been occasioned in all pro bability by a feeling of vengeance. On this hypo thesis, suspicion could only fall on individuals that had known the girl Celina intimately, and in the house they could only point out one, but were un able for the rest t) give either his name or profes sion. " The chief of the service of safety, who on the earliest information had repaired to the spot, as we mentioned, and who wished to direct per sonally the inquiries, obtained a precise description, for he also was convinced that the motive to the crime had either been vengeance or jealousy. He soon learned that the individual whose description they had given him had previously had a warm al tercation with Celina, and that in the course of last week she had even requested the porter not to suffer him in future to come up to her room, but this pro hibition could be easily eluded by him. The chief, when he saw this first suspicion of his was corro borated by this circumstance, made personally some numerous and minute investigations which he pur sued without loss of time, and at their close suc ceeded in learning that the individual in question, believed to be a saddler, had a strong southern ao cent, and lived somewhere in the Rue Francaise, but no one knew his name or the number of the house. " After inquiring from doer to door along this street, the chief came at length to a house, in which there was a lodger, whose description corresponded exactly with that of the man he wanted to find. ' His name is Philippe C—, age 28, comes from the department of the Herault, they said to the chief, ' but he is not a saddler, he is a leather trunk maker ' • his room is on the seventh floor, and he has only this instant come in.' That is the man I wish to see,' replied the chief. And he instantly mounted the flight of steps. " But on reaching the seventh floor, be found himself in a long dark passage with several doors opening into it, and he did not know the room where the man lodged whom he was seeking. As it might be inconvenient to trust to chance, he em ployed a manoeuvre that was perfectly successful. ' Eh, Philippe!' he cried out, as if the man was wanted ; a voice answering from within showed which was the room, to which he advanced, and im mediately the door was opened he pushed his way in by force ; then taking the lodger by the arm, he said to him, ' You are Phillipe C--. In the name of the law I arrest you!' The latter, who could not conceal his emotion, answered directly, ' Why do you arrest me ? I have committed no crime!' Upon being requested he changed his tress, and it was not without somehesitation that he con sented to put on the clothes pointed out to him, and which exactly tallied with the description. Observ ing that he attempted to hide one of his hands, they 1 ooked at it, and saw that it bore the mark of a recent wound, the origin of which he declined accounting for. " The chief caused him to be immediately con veyed by two of his agents to the spot where the crime had been committed. There they found M. Comusat-Basserolles, the Judge of Instruction, and M. Try, the deputy of the Attorney-General, where upon the prisoner was in the presence of this magistrate confronted with the dead body of his victim. lie endured the trial without any visible emotion, and limited himself upon looking at the corpse to the remark, ' Poor girl !' lie maintained that he was ignorant of the crime, declaring that he had not seen Celina since the beginning of last week, contrary to the affirmation of several wit nesses. He then contradicted himself; and this only served to increase the grave suspicion resting upon him ; his arrest was maintained as valid, and after being interrogated by the magistrate he was sent to the depot of the Prefecture of the Police on the charge of assassination. " Celina's body was removed yesterday evening to the Morgue, where it was placed in a private room. This morning Dr. A. Tardieu made a post mortem examination, and ascertained that several of the wounds received by the victim were mortal. Most of them were in the breast, which was much mangled. Other wounds were observed on the head, behind the ear, and on the neck. All these ' wounds had been inflicted with a knife-dagger or sharp-cutting instrument like the one found in the room, as we mentioned yesterday," TILE VE - 3 ORLI CROM.

ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK COMPANY.—A meet ing of this company was held yesterday, Mr. J. W. Carter in the chair, when the report recommending a dividend for the past half-year at the reduced rate of 2 per cent., free of income-tax, making a total distribution for the year 1 8 59 of 4} per cent., was agreed to. In the last six month' it ha s been found necessary to lower considerably the c har g es o n many of the principal articles of importation, but the direc tors have reason to believe that the income of the year 1859 has been to some extent affected by merely tempor ary causes.
