The English Stock Market continues very dull, but during the earlier hours of business an improve ment of per cent. occurred in the Funds. This advance was, however, only temporary, Consols having subsequently receded to their former prices, viz., to 868 87 for money, and 87* for the ac count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 868 87 ; Bank of England Stock, 245 2468 ; and India, 5 per Cents., 1024 8. Foreign Stocks are firm, but no change of im portance has taken place in prices. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 39i f ; Mexican, 21* 8 ; ditto New, 184 19* ; Greek, 13* 14* ; Spanish Passive, 254 26 ; the Certificates, 1311 8 ; Italian, 61/ 62 ; Confede rate Loan, 5 7 ; Egyptian Sclip, 4 * prem. ; Brazi lian Scrip, I 1 prem.

A moderate amount of business has been done in the Railway Share Market, and in several instances prices are a shade firmer. Midland and South Eastern have each improved ss. ; London, Chat ham, and Dover, 10s. ; and Metropolitan, 15s. ; while Great Western and Lancashire and York shire have each receded 55., and North Western 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change, with the exception of Grand Trunk of Canada, which have advanced ss. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in fair request, at steady rates.

YOUNG D ELINQUENTS.— Thomas Miller, aged 10, and 1r se;.'"Ary Miller, aged 8, were charged at the Petty awns, Ilford, on the 19th instant by Mr. C. Matthews of East Ilam, with pulling down a piece of his fence, 13'value Id. The prosecutor said the children belonged to a ?- 13 1 of most drunken habits, and as they appeared en tirely destitute and neglected he had brought them to the court hi the hope that they would be sent to an in tcl,ll,Btrialschool. They were committed for one week, and _tion ordered to be sent to an industrial establishment.— Affe Reral4. The commencement of business in the Discount Market this morning did not indicate any tendency , towards a rise or fall in the terms for the.best com mercial bills, and affairs are still in a very quiet condition. There are plentiful supplies at the cur rent rates for all mercantile operations based upon good credit, and these high rates, inducing caution, prevent extravagant speculation. Owing to the general idea that rates will recede rather than ad vance the daily demand for acccommodation, though active, is not at all pressing, and the trad ing classes are content to bring to the market a number of securities which, when negotiated, will enable them to provide for impending liabilities. Private capitalists are evidently awaiting the introduction of new projects—the early part of the year being, as a rule, favourable for the exertions of the promoters of Joint-Stock enterprise. Several schemes are already on the tapis, and the experience of the last year will no doubt add to the discrimina tion of those who have means to employ on the limited liability principle. No gold operations were reported yesterday at the Bank ; a few withdrawals, however, are ex pected. At the same time there are steady arrivals, and the Bank of England return to-morrow evening is expected to show a further improvement in the resources of the establishment. SHARE MARKETS,—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. The prisoner begged of the magistrate to impose a fine, and not send her to a prison, but Mr. Tyrwhitt refused to alter his decision. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, &kid Lush.) THE QUEEN V. WINSOR, THE WHOLESALE MURDERESS. • The Attorney-General resumed his arguments this morning, at the conclusion of which The Lord Chief Justice said that the question in this case had been so recently decided in a case that came before the court, and had been so fully dis cussed during the last two days, that he did not consider any benefit would result from the court de laying their judgment. He was fortified in that opi nion by the fact that all the judjes were unanimous in their decision. He had no hesitation in giving his decision that the judge had a discretion to discharge a jury on what he considered sufficient ground. It was not a maxim of English juris prudence that an abortive trial prevented a new trial, and after carefully considering all the arguments the Court was of opinion that they had no other course than to pronounce in favour of the Crown. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF LONDON. (Via Roches Point.) The following appeared in a late edition of The Sun of last evening : NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (Morning). The New York Herald states that President Johnson has positively determined to reconstruct his Cabinet, retaining two of its present members. It is rumoured that Mr. Stanton will supersede Mr. Adams in London. Mr. Sumner has stated in the Senate that Mr. Seward will be absent for three weeks. Twenty-two regiments have been mustered out in Texas. The diplornatio correspondence laid before Con gress includes an intercepted letter from Captain Maury to Mr. Benjamin Wood, which says : " The South is connected with the Gwynn enter prise. Napoleon will give him all the aid he de sires. He will go out as director-general in charge of a very peculiar kind of colonisation." In July Mr. Seward enclosed the intercepted correspon dence to Mr. Bigelow, and requested him to present it to M. Drouyn de Lhyus, and to inform him that any favour shown by Maximilian or the French Government to the Gwynn or any other Confederate colonisation agents would tend to increase in America the popu lar impatience at French intervention, because it will be regarded as imparting dangers to, or at least as a menace against, the United States. If these statements are to be believed, Mr. Seward assumes, with the President's sanction, that the Emperor Napoleon has deserted his neutrality. On the 14th of December last Mr. Seward writes to Mr. Bigelow—" Your•despatch of November 24th seems to discourage, on our part, expectations The other judges 'concurred with his lordship, and the conviction of the prisoner is accordingly affirmed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Registrar Roche.) IN RE SIR J. BENSON, KNT. This bankrupt was an architect of 8, Cecil-street, Strand, and to-day he came up for the proof of debts. No accounts are yet filed, as Sir J. Benson was adjudicated a bankrupt upon the petition of a creditor, Mr. M. T. O'Keeffe. Debts were proved and a day named for the next hearing. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Common Jury. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-BAYLIS V. HASSELL. This was a suit sent down by the Court of Common Pleas to have the damages fixed, the defendant having suffered judgment to go by de fault. The plaintiff, aged 35, had been manager to some first-class hotels in the west of England, and had given up her place, and the defendant was shown to be in a good position of life. After hearing the evidence, the jury awarded £340 damages. of an early withdrawal of the French from Mexico. 'it must be remembered, however, that the opinions on that subject which you received from M. Drouyn de Lhuys, were expressed not only without the Emperor's positive sanction, but also in the absence of any knowledge on the part of the French Government of the definite conclusion of the Fre- The Alleged Piracy on Board the Ship Scotland. sident on the subject discussed. It is desirable to leave no part of those opinions open to misappre hension. It is signally desirable that we shall be authorised to infer that such expositions of Impe rial views as are given to us in the name of the French Government are made with the Emperor's approval." President Johnson has sent to the Senate the re ports of Mr. Stanton and the Attorney-General upon Mr. Davis's trial. Mr. Stanton states that Mr. Davis was captured and is still held by the military power. He now awaits the demand of the proper Government authorities for his trial upon the charges of treason, inciting to the assassination of President Lincoln, and murdering Federal soldiers. The Government decided to try Mr. Davis first for treason, but this is delayed in consequence of Mr. Chase, the Chief Justice, refusing to hold a Court under present circumstances in the judicial district of Virginia. The Attorney-General supports the postponement of the trial of Mr. Davis and other rebels until civil authority is completely restored in the districts where the offences were committed. The Government has informed the house that the Executive had no official data on the subject of the alleged kidnapping of Madame Iturbide's child by Maximilian. In the Senate .the Military ;Committee has re ported a bill fixing the future strength of the Federal army at seven regiments of artillery, ten of cavalry, and sixty of infantry. One new regiment of artil lery and two of cavalry will consist of coloured troops. The aggregate strength of the army will be 60,000. Mr. Howe has offered a resolution providing provisional governments for the Southern States. A bill proposing an additional cotton tax has been introduced, and referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. A Bill has also been in troduced to punish counterfeiting with death, and has been referred_ The War Department has ordered 10,000 more troops to be mustered out. The Mobile Advertiser states that Gen. Thomas has officially announced that all Federal troops will be withdrawn from Alabama and Georgia, and that arms and ammunition will be furnished to the militia. The Fenian Congress has adjourned sine die, and has abolished the titles of President and Senator. The government will be conducted by the Head Centre and a Central Council of five. O'Mahoney has been elected Head Centre for 1866. Roberts and the Senators have been expelled from the bro therhood. A letter has been published from Stephens, dated the Irish Republic, Dec. 23, appointing O'Mahoney American representative and financial agent of the Irish Republic, and ignoring the existence of the Senate. The Inman steamship City of London, from New York on the 13th inst., arrived at Queenstown at 10 a.m. to-day (23d instant), with the mails, 190 passengers, and $171,694 in specie.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAAUARY 24, 1866. FURTHER REMAND OP THE PRISONERS. This morning James Liffin, Thomas Carr, T. Dickson, Philip Pillage, Charles Tuffer, and Joseph Matthews, six seamen, and lately a portion of the crew of the ship Scot land, from Calcutta to London, were again placed before Sir Thomas Henry at Bow-street police-court for further examination. Mr. Pollard, who attended on the part of the Treasury, said the only intelligence they had received since the day on which the prisoners were last before the court was from Lloyd's List of yesterday, which stated that the ship left Queenstown on Monday for Liverpool, and the inference was that she would reach that port to day. The owners had been communicated with. The ship, however, would not discharge her cargo at Liver pool, but come to London. Under these circumstances he had to ask for a further remand of the prisoners until to morrow week, when the master and the other witnesses would be in attendance, and they could then go on with the case. He thought it would be better for all parties that some little time should be allowed for a preliminary examination of the persons now on board the Scotland, becanse it would ultimately lead to a saving of time in the end if it was known, previous to witnesses coming into court, the exact extent of their evidence. Sir Thomas Henry was of the same opinion. He said they need not wait for the arrival of the ship in London for attendance of the witnesses. When the ship touched at Liverpool a temporary crew could be put on board to bring her round. He should, therefore, again remand the prisoners to the day named by Mr. Pollard. Liffin said some more witnesses on their behalf had, he believed, arrived in the man-of-war ship Industry, and he and his fellow-prisoners were anxious they should be in attendance. Mr. Pollard said he believed the prisoner alluded to Mr. Snell, of H.M.S. Industry, who was put in temporary com mand of the Scotland at Ascension. Sir Thomas Henry thought the exact point of the inquiry would be not that which took place at Ascension, but what occurred in the Bay of Bengal. Lifan said he knew that was the material point, but it was important that the whole of the proceedipgs of the captain at Ascension should be known. Sir Thomas Henry told the prisoner ho had no doubt but that every witness who could give any information on the matter would be in attendance when the case was gone The prisoners were then formally remanded until Thursday week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. James Brown, a determined-looking young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Vaughan, charged with rob bery. The prosecutor, Mr. Baker, said he was going into the gallery of Drury-lane Theatre last evening, and just at the moment the doors were opened he felt a tug at his waistcoat pocket, and on looking down found his watch had been stolen. He left the crowd as soon as he was able to make his loss known at the police-station. Sergeant Ackrill, of the F division of police, said he was near the gallery door of Drury-lane Theatre last night, and a few minutes beforo the time of the opening of the doors he saw the prisoner cross from the opposite side of the street and go into the crowd. He saw him take the watch from the prosecutor's pocket, and as he was making his escape he collared him and a violent struggle took place. Prisoner tried to slip between his (witness's) legs, but he held him fast and eventually got him to the station. He saw him throw the watch away, but he could not at the time go after it, as it was as much as he could do to hold the prisoner. Alter he had lodged the prisoner in the station-house, he went back to the place where he had taken the prisoner to look for the watch, but he could not find it. Police-sergeant, 10 F, said the prisoner was brought to the station last night in custody of the last witness. On searching him tho ring of a watch was found in his left hand pocket, which the prosecutor identified as his property. The prisoner, on being questioned, said it was all a mistake, that he was not a thief, and also that ho had never touched tho pockets of any person. With respect to the watch ring, he bought it some time ago for a penny. In reply to the magistrate, Sergeant Ackrill said he had no doubt about the actions of the prisoner. Mr. Vaughan said he should in the mean time remand the prisoner for a week, to allow time for the discovery of tho watch. At the next hearing he should fully commit the prisoner for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT THROUGH REVENGE.—Catherine Har rison, a well-dressed female, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with 'violently assaulting Minnie Wilson, who, as well as the prisoner, is an "unfortunate." Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and said the present case arose out of one which occurred two years ago, when a man named Howard, the keeper of a night-house in the Haymarket, was charged at that court with the abduction of the present prosecutrix, and committed for trial, and sentenced to two years' imprison ment. At that time the prisoner Harrison made herself very conspicuous, and threatened that she would do the prosecutrix some grievous bodily harm. Last night she met the prosecutrix, threatened to murder her, and suiting the action to the word, struck her with something on the forehead. A constable coming up fortunately prevented any further mischief being done, there being little doubt that, but for his timely arrival, some serious injury would have boon done. Theprosecutrix said that about two years ago she was a witness on the prosecution of a man named Howard, and the prisoner then threatened that she "would do for her." The prisoner was one of the women kept in Howard's house, a night house. Last night the prisoner walked up to her in Regent-street and said, "I'll walk you to-night, my lady." She spoke to a constable, and he said that if the prisoner assaulted her he would lock her up. She walked on, and shortly after the prisoner walked up to her and struck her on the forehead, causing a wound. She believed the prisoner had some thing in her hand, but could not say what. The prisoner had before broken an umbrella over her and torn her clothes, but she had forgiven her. She, however, believed that Howard was the instigator of the treatment she re ceived, as on the previous night, after leaving Vine-street, he came up to her and said that if• she appeared that morning she would get something. A police-constable said the prosocutrix came up to him bleeding from a wound in the forehead, and he took the prisoner into custody, but she had no instrument upon her. The prisoner said she was insulted by a man of the pro secutrim's acquaintance—the man going by the name of "Lolly Dolby," and the prosecutrix had also insulted her, which she was prepared to prove by the evidence of a "lady" in court. Fanny Stewart, an unfortunate, the "lady" referred to, said that "Kate" did slap the prosecutrix's face because she called her an offensive name, but that she had nothing in her hand. They afterwards smacked each other. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not believe the witness. —The prisoner was on Howard's side, and no doubt for that rea son felt an animosity against the prosecutrix. He should impose no fine, but commit the prisoner for 21 days, and if any complaint was mado again 4 gowArd, and he was THE SPRING HANDICAPS.

A meeting was convoked for Sunday by a certain number of men of letters in the largo rooms of Lemardelay, Rue Richelieu, Paris, in order to devise measures for the establishment of a literary cercle, or reading-room. As the meeting was to consist of more than 20 persons, the per mission of the Prefect of Police was, of course, indispens able. The prefect was applied to, but peremptorily re fused his permission, so that the meeting cannot take place. The object of the promoters was to provide a com mon place of meeting for men of letters, and not for any politizai object. AMERICAN COUNTERFEITERS.—One o f th e results of gold es a chance givenc i rculating t A of m t e t a lo h n a g s medium in been absence theexcellent counter feiters to manufacture debased coin in large amounts The principal counterfeit now made is a filled coin. The process is to split the gold piece, take from its centre one third to one half of the gold, which is carefully weighed, and the space is filled with an equal weight of alloy of platina. The sides of the coin are then joined, the edges re-milled, and the whole work is so accurately done that not only the weight of the piece is unchanged, but its size remains the same, and it s me t a lli c " r i ng " i s perfect l y genuine. The only test yet known by which to detect these pieces is the inaccuracy of the milling, which, under a microscope, the seam of the two halves of the piece can generally be seen. At the New York Custom House these filled pieces are almost daily found among the genuine coins presented in the payment of duties ; and upon detection they are cut in half with a chisel and politely ,returned to their astonished owners. Edwin Booth, the tragedian, brother of J. Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, recently began au engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre, New York. The house was filled t o overflowing, and, in spite of the efforts made iu some q uarters to create a dis turbance, the play passed off without trouble. A strange case, ar i s i ng out of the recent war in America, has occurred in Kentucky. The Farme rs, Bank of Kentucky had $ 60,000 stolen from its vaults by the famous Morgan raid in June, 1864. Among Morgan's officers was a Kentuckian named Witherspoon, who, after pe a ce was res tored, r eturned to his home, an d th e b ank sued him, attached Ins landed estate, and recov ere d judg ment against him in a Circuit Court for the entire sum Witherspoon has appealed to the Kentucky Court of Appea ls, the highest court in the State, and intends to fight the bank there. 20i 24 100 100
