The steamer Bangalore has taken £158,000 in specie for the East. The Main, from New York, has brought £66,000 for Loudon and Bremen. The 4th of the month passed off well. There were no serious failures, and the aspect of affairs, viewed as a whole, was not unfavourable. In a few days a large amount in the form of dividends will be set free, probably not less than seven millions sterling. A statement has been in general circulation that the General Credit Company, having been unable to obtain an answer to the bill they had filed against the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company, nearly two years ago, had deter mined to take the extreme step of " sequestrating the property" of the railway company, and issuing a writ of distringas. There is obviously some mis take in the announcement, as by the " London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Arrangement) Act, 1867," all actions, suits, executions, attachments, or other proceedings against the company, or affec ing its property, were to be stayed during ten years. The private letters from Venezuela speak of the disposition exhibited by the present parties in power at Caraccas to make some honourable arrangement for the debt. The means at their command are considered somewhat large, if the proceeds of the Customs revenue shall be vigorously administered. With peace and prosperity the authorities should be able to sag:4y the bondholders of 1862 and 1864, and place their credit on a much firmer basis than it has been for years past. Messrs. L. P. Morton and Co. notify that Mr. Geo. Bliss (of the late firm of Geo. Bliss and Co.) has joined their New York and London firm, which will be continued under the style of Morton, Bliss, and Co., of New York ; and L. P. Morton, Burns, and Co., of London. Mr. George Milne, of Lon don, remains a partner in the London house. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £1,068 over the corresponding week of last year. The South Eastern Company's return shows an increase of £833. The traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the Ist inst., shows an increase of £2,112 over last year. The London Joint Stock Bank directors have decided upon opening a branch in St. John-street, Smithfield. The London and County Bank have commenced business at their new branch in Aldersgate-street, adjoining the Metropolitan Railway station, and near to the Smithfield Market. A statement from America, that Mr. Vanderbilt has offered to lease the Great Western Railway of Canada, is said to be unfounded. The half-yearly meeting of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Company is convened for the 18th inst. A special general meeting of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company (Limited) is called for the 14th instant, to authorise a subdivision of the present shares of the company into shares of £1 each. The ordinary 'general meeting of the Westmin ster Brewery Company (Limited) will be held on the 14th inst., when a dividend will be declared. Although the hop market has not been altogether active, yet there has been a fair amount of business transacted in fine descriptions, while secondary qua lities have met with more attention, The importa tion of Bavarian and American hops has been again considerable ; from various ports we have received during the past week 3,825 bales, against 2,333 bales the week previous ; fine samples bring late rates. In consequence of the rise in the price of barley at the principal country markets, holders of malt are firm in their demand. Messrs. Browne and Eagle, the public wool ware house keepers, give the following particul the importati on o f colonial and foreign wool i s ntoof Great Britain in 1868 and previous years. The total quantity received last year from th e co l on i es was 633,512 bales 9 bal es in Year 541,655 b a l es in 1867, 455,64 1866, 43 2,975 b a l es i n 1865, 375,881 bale s in 1864, Comparing 1868 with 186 and 3 'there h as b een an in -310,633 b a l es in 1863. crease of more tha n 100 per cent, in the total im port of wool, the heaviest relative augmentati on being in N ew Z ea l an d descriptions.

(Before Mr. Payne.) THE JUDGE AND THE JURY..-AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. Valentine Moriarty, 41, described as a labourer, was indicted for assaulting John Centreton, and stabbing him in the back with a knife. The jury, after some consultation, found a verdict of guilty of assault, but most strongly recommended him to mercy on account of the great provocation he received. The prosecutor got into the box, and said he also wished to recommend him to mercy. Mr. Payne—The sentence upon you, prisoner, is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. Several of the jurymen rose and expressed their dissatisfaction with this sentence. The Foreman—We think, my lord, that is too much, and would address you again to deal more mercifully with the prisoner. The prisoner received great provocation. The prisoner said it would ruin him for life, and he would never get work again when he came out of prison. Mr. Payne—Oh yes you :will ; it is not act of dishonesty. We must be careful what we do, or we shall have comments in the newspapers about " the Knife again," and some great sensation will be made about it. Well, I think I will take off one month. The sentence will be two months. William Wallace Walter, 33, was found guilty of stealing 13 bales of tobacco, the property of Joseph Kent, an agent of the Great "Western Company, and sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for ilve years.

The cable is nearly similar to those laid down in 1865 and 1866, with the exception of the eore in the present being larger, and weighing 1001 b. of copper more per mile. The object of this en larged core is to attain a greater speed of transmission, and although the electricians of the company predict so low a rate as twelve words per minute through the new cable, we question whether this rate will not be greatly exceeded, for the reason that the present Atlantic cables are worked at the rate of fourteen words, and in ordinary conversation so great a speed as twenty-five words a minute have been read with out any difficulty. The cable may be said to be a very strong one, its actual strain being 74 tons, while the strain required for the laying need never exceed a ton, and to haul in any laid portion the strain would not be over a couple of tons at the most. The first section, from Brest to St. Pierre, measures 2,325 miles, and the second section, from St. Pierre to the United States direct to New York or some point between New York and Boston, is 750 miles long, making a total in miles of cable, 3,075. Sir James Anderson, who superintends the whole work on the part of the company, has recorded his opi nion that by keeping upon the Milne Bank, and around the southern edge of the Grand Bank, there can be no possibility of injury to the cable from icebergs. And it is a well-known fact that the icebergs never " bottom" in over 90 fathoms of wather ; so, by acting upon Sir Jas. Anderson's advice, the line would never be out of 500 fathoms of water. The Great Eastern, now lying off Sheerness, by next March will once again have resumed her telegraphic attire. In the place of those costly and magnificent saloons with which she was adorned nearly two years ago by the French Company, huge dark and gloomy cable tanks will stand ready to receive the several portions of the cable as they arrive from Greenwich in hulks, and by June, 1869, the big ship will be under weigh with her precious cargo valued at nearly a million of money. CONSPIRACY AGAINST AN INSURANCE On Saturday, at the Manchester City Sessions, the trial of Lockett and Kirk wad resutned and concluded. The case occupied the court for nearly twelve hours. The accused were charged with conspiring to defraud the Liverpool and London and Globe Company. The insurance company prosecuted them for claiming compensation for goods, which they alleged had been destroyed by fire, an assertion which was disputed. A great deal of evidence was heard, that of Stevenson, a fireman of the Manchester brigade, being very important. He said that it would be absurd to state that everything could be destroyed without leaving a trace behind in a fire of that character. No evidence was called to prove the existence of the goods which were said to have been burned, and in the course of the inquiries some facts came out not very creditable to the prisoners. The Recorder having summed up the evidence, the fury convicted both the prisoners, and the Recorder pronounced sentence upon them. Hesaid that they had been found guilty upon conclusive evidence, and it was very fortunate for them that they had not been charged with burning the premises. Lockett would be imprisoned with hard labour for two years, and Kirk for eig l tteen months. THE CONFERENCE ON THE EASTERN The arrangementsfor the Conference, which is to open this I week at Paris, are completed ; indeed, they are so complete that it is difficult to see what the ambassadors are to do when they meet. All the States which were party to the Treaty of Paris will be represented. Greece, not having signed the treaty, will not be allowed to vote, but her representative will take part in the deliberations: Turkey has given her consent only on condition that the five points of the ultimatum be discussed ; if any other topics be introduced her ambassador will at once withdraw. Russia attempted to get the privilege of voting for Greece, but it seems that she has had to give way to the Western Powers on this point. It was also insisted that Turkey should withdraw from the ultimatum anything of a tenour offensive to Greece. This endeavour has succeeded no better than the other. Saturday is the day on which the Conference is to begin. ORDINARY tiftAlt - 1118 AND STOCKS. share Rai lw:qB. Paid.

In accordance with invitations issued by the Bristol, American, French, German, and other branches of the Evangelical Alliance and other Protestant bodies to " Christians throughout the world," a week of special prayer was commenced on Monday morning at Free masons' Hall. It vas, as usual on such occasions, crowded, and all religious sects were adequately represented. Lord Radstock presided, and in his opening address referred to the circumstances which had principally affected religion during the past year, expressing deep thankfulness for the means which had been provided in many districts for extending the gospel. Prayers were offered up for many persons who had made special requests, and some hymns having been sung, an address was delivered by the Rev. Thomas Nolan, 8.D., vicar of Regent•square District Church, St. Pancras, his subject being " Confession." The appointed chairmen for the remaining days of the week are Sir Harry Verney, Bart., M.P., Mr. Charles Reed, M.P., Mr. Macleod Wylie (magistrate of Calcutta), Sir Francis Lycett, and Mr. S. R. Patteson. In order to give facili ties to the people in the City, similar meetings are held every morning at the London Tavern. On Monday morning Mr. R. C. L. Bevan, banker, presided, and the Rev. Dr. Edmund, of Highbury, delivered an address. THE WEATHER TABLE-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. Extserab Sea Tuesday, F. 0 8. 5, B. T. 1 W. Ito F. D.

A very 'rapid diminution in barometrical pressure has set in at most stations since last evening : the change during the last twelve hours has been more than six-tenths of an inch in the S. of Scotland and at stations on the Irish Sea, where very low readings are now reported. Large differences now exist between pressures— the read ing at Greencastle is I'3ln. below that at Rochefort. In these islands temperature is much higher than it was yesterday ; it has risen 10 deg. at Rochefort. During the night a south-westerly gale was felt at our southern and western stations, and is now prevailing generally. At Valencia the wind has veered to N., and has mode rated. Heavy rain has fallen on the Irish and Channel coasts. The sky is much overcast, with a continuance of rain on our S. and E. coasts. Weather is very unsettled, and the sea is high in the S.W Warnings to all coasts. It is likely that Baron Bins°li will be appointed .alian Minister at London. Jefferson Duvis arrived in Paris on Saturday, and dined with Mr. Slidell in tho evening. There was a great gathering of Southerners. It is intended to invite Mr. Freake and Dr. Russell, the Conservative candidates for Chelsea in the late election, o a public diunor of their supporters. Mazzini, though still feeble, is so far recovered as to be able to take out-door exercise. The Liberte says that, indefatigable as ever, ho is in constant correspondence with leaders in the Spanish revolution. A Liberal demonstration was held at Clithcroe on New Year's Day, at which Mr. C. S. Iloundoll, who stood for the borough at the recent election in the Liberal inte rest, was presented with a magnificent silver vao BILLIARD,S. tended in a match of 1,000 up, level, during the previous week, on which occasion young Roberts was the winner. The latter went away with the lead, and the game was called at 43 to 21; Roberts, from 51, ran together a break of 22, which brought his figures up to 80, Cook being 45 ; a break of 40, however, credited to Cook's account put him five in advance. Roberts, in getting in, made 39, and the game stood 119 to 85. No very large breaks en sued for a time, Roberts still maintaining the•lead, he being 142 to 138. Cook soon made it " 142 all," but unfortunately missed the next stroke, and Roberts went on to 153 ; the latter after this made a break of 42, and in the end won by 48 points. THE SECOND DRAW.—C. HUGHES, 30, AND A. BAILLIE, 65.—Hughes, by a few well-played breaks, soon showed in front of his opponent, who only made 4, whilst Hughes scored 50, the game being 80 to 69. Baillie played exceedingly game, and made some capital breaks, composed chiefly of can nons ; he ran on to 96 to 81. Hughes, after this, again went aheai, and in a short time the marker called the game 166 to 155 ; from these figures Hughes put together a break of 31; this made him 197, when %Rile failed to score, and Hughes won by 45 points. JOHN ROBERTS (CHAMPION), OWING 20, AND J. ROBERTS, JUN., 20.—The former, by a break of 49, soon paid of the debt of 20, and added 35 towards the game; another run of a " score," together with several minor breaks ,brought his figures to 94 to GO ; the champion still further increased his advan tage; but from 113 Roberts, jun., playel a splen did break of 86, in which were 27 (pot strokes, so that he won by 55 points, amidst loud applause. FINAL HEAT.—C. HUGHES, 30, AND*J. ROBERTS, jun., 20.—The play was very open at the com mencement of the game, Rob, rts gaining slightly from "46 all." lobert3 gradually went away until he stood at 78 to 55 ; then Charley scored to 71, and shortly after the game was called at Hughes 112, to Roberts 101 ; the latter then male a break of 28, and Hugh( s miising, he went on to 13G. Hughes in his next essay made 31, including spot strokes, this raising his a:ore to 151 Roberts, after this, added 33, and Iltig'ies scored to 179. Roberts made it " 179 all;" by degrees Roberts reached 193 to 197, when he missed, 'and Hughes ran out, thus winning by two points. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—THORPENESS, SUFFOLK.-- Jan. 4.--Mr. James Obborno reports that the collier brig Belle, of Sunderland, bound thence to Ostend, struck on the Sizowell Bank, on the 2d inst., during a gtde from S. by W., and soon became a total wreck. Fortunately nine of the crew were saved by the National Institution's lifeboat, Ipswich, stationed at this place, but before her arrival the master had been unhappily drowned. The lifeboat shipped a great deal of water in the broken sea on the sand. She is reported to have behaved remarkably well under these circum stances. This valuable boat was contribued to the Life boat Society some years since by the inhabitants of Ips wich, after which town the boat is named. She has hitherto been instrumental on five occasions in saving 26 persons from different wrecked vessels. ON - ER END, G MINTY, AND CO.—Mr. William Peek, junior, a witness in this case on Saturday, writes to state that the expression attributed to him, to the effect that he put in the bill ho had aid in Chancery what was most calculated to prove in his favour, proceeded from one of the defendants' counsel. He also explains that his solici tor deemed it better not to overload the case in Chancery by including all the grounds of complaint. He adds that he was not a member of the committee to which Dr. Thom, the prosecutor, belonged. REMARKABLE MOVEMENT AMONG THE .JEWS. The Israelite, published in Cincinnati, has a series of arti cles up:tit the Sabbath, which take the ground that a change of the day is lawfal and expedient. The changes of the last half century the writer, a gentleman living in New Orleans, declares to have rendered it impossible to observe properly the seventh day of the week as the Sab bath. It might be proper in former times, but so were other observances which the Israelites have found it necessary to modify. The commandment to keep the Shabbat, or Sabbath, holy, the writer declares, does not instance the particular day of the week. Nor would it be possible (he remarks), in all parts of the globe, with the hours of sunset and sunrise changing with every degree of longitude, to indicate by theta any precise time which would be always the same holy period. The Christian world, outnumbering largely the Jews, have adopted another day, and it is very inconvenient to vary from their usage. The writer also administers a gentle reproof to his co-religionists for their former implacable bitterness and persecution. Jesus, he declares, was a re former of the Jewish religion, whom they caused to be executed ; and afterwards they compelled his disciples to alienate themselves from the Jewish Church. They were themselves to blame that Christianity is now a faith out side of Judaism. THE POPULAR VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT.—An fIexed is a table exhibiting the popular vote for President, cast on the 3d ult., in 83 of the States of the Union Floridachose its electors by the Legislature ; Virginia, Mis sissippi, and Texas did not vote. By a singular anomaly under our Constitution the people of the territories of In diana, Dacotah, Montana, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, and the District of Columbia, are not allowed to in the election of the national Chief Magistrate. South Ca rolina, for the first time, chose its electors by the people ; whilst Florida assumes the position of the former in being the only State which chooses its electors by the Legis lature. Nebraska voted for the first time. In California, for the first time, a native-born citizen voted for Presi dent : States. Grant. Seymour.

A fossil horse has been found in the tertiary deposits of Nebraska, which, although full grown as the ossification of the various bones proves, is reported to be only two feet high. This makes 17 species of fossil horse now known to have lived in America, although till recently it was believed that none were indi genous to the country-. • Winter has at length closed all the canals and a good many of the harbours and navigable rivers of the United States. Ia the North-west there has been ex tremely cold weather, and the Mississippi and Missouri and their tributary rivers have been frozen over for some time.

The heats were 200 up, and' the prize a silver cup. The opening contest was between T. Mourns, 40, AND A. BAILLIE, 65.—N0 very large breaks were made on either side. Baillie, however, gradually increased his advantage, and eventually won by 64 points, he having reached 200 to Morris's 136. W. DUFTON, 40, AND C. HUGHES, 30.—Hughes, who made . a fine break of 40, soon got in advance of his opponent, and the game was called at 110 to 68. Dufton then added a dozen, but Hughes again went well to work, and by a carefully-played break of 46 his figures stood at 15G to Dufton's 80. Hughes, by a small break, ultimately scored '2OO to his opponent's 115, thus winning► by 85 p iints. J. ROBERTS, JUN., 20, AND W. COOK, JUN., 20.
