' D uring the last few days there has not been much animation in th e F ore i gn and Colonial Produce l'la rket s, operatio ns i n tea having been deferred by the trade consequent upon the pubc Which commence this day. Sugar ha s been li in sales mo derate req uest at steady rates, while superior quali ties of coffee, ow i ng to the shortness of stocks, has cnonnanded full values. Rice has been in more de oancl, but th e dealings have been restricted W ing to the enhanced rates required by holders. LI tal low there h as b een a very moderate amount of bus iness, and at one time a decline of Is. per cwt. Wa s established, but a recovery subsequently took ' l ace, and quotations now show little variation from those current at the close of last week for pre sent and forward delivery. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 28 30, and the Consolidated kortgage Ponds 1, to 24 25. At the meeting held to-day of the London and Caledonian Marine.

At the meeting held to-day of the San Paulo (Brazilian) Railway Company the re dir ectors was presented, which statedport of th e that they regret that they were unable to congratulate the p r oprieto rs on th e open i ng o f t h e railway for tram,. The directors, however, add that " the relations between the company, the Imperial (4uvernment, and the local authorities are of the most satisfactory character ; his excellency Sr. I)a ntas, the Minister of Public Works, has through out expressed the greatest desire to see the line p e ried, and h as now instructed his excellency the resident of the Province to open it formally ou behalf of the Government as soon as Dr. Passos Pronounces it in a fit state."

Owing to the slight facilities offered in Lombard-street and elsewhere the demand at the Bank is still very limited. Gobi to the amount of 10,000 sovereigns was received at the Bank of England yesterday. The Atrato has brought specie to the amount of about £204,000 from the West Indies, and the City of Paris, from New York, has arrived with about £13,000. Yesterday evening there was issued the prospectus of the United Danubian Principalities Eight per Cent. Loan for £1,264,420 stock, authorised by law promulgated on the 15th July, 1866, and ratified by a legislative vote of the 26th January, 1867. The whole sum is to be redeemed in 23 years by an accumulating sinking fund ; the bonds to be drawn by lot yearly, and paid off at £lOO ; the first drawing is to take place in Decem ber, 1867. Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen are the contractors, to receive applications at the price of £7l for every £lOO stock. Arrangements have been made for the regular transmission of the requi site funds for the interest and sinking fund to this eminent firm. The interest and sinking fund re quire an annuity of £121,910, whieh is secured by a first mortgage on the yearly revenaes of certain specified State, domains, yielding an annual income according to official returns, of about £152,000, and also by assignment of about £90,000 out of Customs revenues, producing about £270,000, on which the Seven per Cent. Loan has a prior hypo thecation of £82,440 per annum. The price of 71 per Cent., including the coupon due on the Ist July, 1867, will be payable in the following in stalments :-10 per cent. on allotment, 10 per cent. on the 20th March, 45 per cent. the 18th April, 15 per cent. the 18th May, 10 per cent. 18th June, and 11 per cent. Ist July, less 4 per cent. coupon, minus income tax. Subscription lists will also be opened at Paris by Messrs. Oppenheim, Alberti, and Co., at Frankfort by Mr. Augt. Siebert, at Berlin by Messrs. G. Muller and Co., and at Bucharest by Messrs. S. llalfon and Sons. Separate scrip certificates will be issued at each place of subscription, and payment of all instal ments must be made at the respective places where the applications have been received. No applica tion will be accepted in London after Thursday, the 21st inst. It is estimated that the loan is of an equivalent value to that of the previous financial issue for the same States. According to the calculation the 'security, including all the ad vantages offered, will yield to the investor nearly per cent, per annum. The undertaking has been very favourably looked upon at the Stock Exchange, but although there is a nominal premium of 1 there is an indisposition to deal, owing to the small amount of stock and the numerous mar kets in which it is to be allotted. _ T he English an d F ore i gn Credit Company have al so held a meeting to-day, when a distribution, amounting to 5 per cent. per annum, was recom mended. 4,A_rer n ittance has teen rece i ve d on account of e o. d ividend on the Debt of Ecuador of £1,269 16 8 . 6d. 4/ 5 ; Rio de Janeiro Improvements, 201 ; and SHARE Viceroy of Egypt's Mortgage Loan, 42f.

Another very large audience assembled at the Free-trade H a ll, Manchester, and on Satu r d ay n i g ht , w h en M r. Charles Dicken s ma d e his es and read his " Chri s t mas C a r e o c l o " n an BI ?,eTarhance this season, AUSTRALIA EXPORTI NG at Mugby." WOO L :O The Melbourne Argus. says Dece m b er 13 An experiment of an interesting n a t ure is about to be tried with one of the staple exports of this colony. Hitherto all the wool exported from Australia has been sent to London or Liverpool, almost exclusively to the former port. It appears, however, that American buyers are not infrequent at the London sales, and to test the United States market, a fine ship—the Isabella Ilercus—has been placed on the berth for New York direct, carrying wool. The result will be looked forward to with considerable interest. It is very rarely that a vessel sails from this port direct to any of the cities of the east coast of America. This is only the second ship which we can call to mind as haring been placed on the New York line during some years past. If tho Isabella Hercus finds a good market a new trade may bo opened up." PATENT -OFFICE MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON. —Number of visitors for the week ending Fob. 16, 1,908 ; total number since the opening of the museum, free daily (May 12, 1858), 1,115,255. KIRKWALL.----WHALE-HUNT OFF STRONSAY.-- On Friday morning last, about 8 o'clock, there was seen off Stronsay, an island lying about 15 miles to the north west of Kirkwall, a very large number of bottle-nosed whales sporting in the bay. The neighbouring inhabitants were soon aroused, and in pursuit ; and after a keen con test of a little more than two hours, the "school" was safely driven ashore on the beautiful beach of Rothes Holm. The value of the catch is estimated at from £5OO to £6OO. It will be divided among nearly 100 people who were engaged in the capture. The excitement which the sale reated was very great.—Scotsman. EIDER Dows.---TA consular Report of this year on Iceland gives an account of the way in which down is exacted from the eider thick. Early in Juno the bird, always repairing to the same spot, comes to sonic small holmo or islet in a bay or fjord, and lays its eggs, after lining its nest with the down plucked from its owu body. As soon as the eggs are laid, the owner of the hatching-ground robs the nest of the down and a part of the eggs, both of which the poor bird replaces a second and a third time, when she is left in peace to complete the process of incubation, but with her body completely denuded of down. This method is adopted because the down of the dead bird loses its elasticity, and is of com paratively little value. The hen bird gives eight or nine ounces of down to a nest, but when cleansed the weight is diminished by half. The video of the cleansed down is about 19s. per lb. The annual produce in Iceland is valued at about .0,000. In some instances, one small hohne will give its owner au annual income of £l5O. Such is the care taken of these birds that during the hatching season no guns are allowed to be fired in their vicinity ; foreign vessels arriving arc forbidden to fire salutes. MINING MARKET.

Was it not proposed to include Kingston in the proclamation ?—I think it was, but not by the Go veinor. • The proposition was made by some members of the Legislature ?—lt was ; the Governor thought it would interfere with trade, and was at that time un necessary, and therefore Kingston was excluded.

Did you hear that it was determined to try Gordon by regular officers and not lay officers con nected with the island ?—I cannot say. Did you not hear General Nelson say so ?—I cannot recollect. You must take that for an answer. He might have said it in my presence, but I don't recollect it. I will not swear he did not make the observation. You were in Morant Bay while Gordon's trial was going on ?—I was. He was tried in one of the rooms in a large building at the tap of the landing place at Jamaica Wharf. Were you present at the trial ?—I was in and out. It was an open court ; any one could have gone in or out. Was Colonel Nelson present ?.—No ; he was at headquarters, where he resided.

Don't you know that Bogle was tried after Gor don ?—I think he was. IVas not Bogle ,executed in compliance with the sentence of the court-martial over which you pre sided ?—lle was. The sentence was confirmed by the General in command. Both the brothers Bogle, Paul and William, were tried together, and executed hi compliance with the findings of the court of which you were president ? —They were. think they Have you the s h a d ow of a doubt that the Bogies were executed aft er G ordon's death we A re f , te b r u t t he I cinasnunrorteestaiyou did you y ou not preside at a meeting of the Colonial Legislature at which a vote of thanks was presented to General Nelson ?—I did ; I moved the vote of thamks.

Mr. Augustus Lake, reporter to the Colonial Standard, was called, and read Lis notes of the trial of Gordon, and said he distinvtly recollected that the prisoner asked to be allowed to call Dr. Major to speak to the state of his health. The answer to that question did not appear in his notes, but he distinctly recollected that the president of the court told him he was neither in court uor in the Bay. His (witness's) impression was that he saw Dr. Major on the island the following Monday. He was prcscut at 13ogle's executi9n. Ile was quite The further hearing of this case was resumed this morning before Sir Thomas Henry. General Nelson and Lieutenant Brand on this occasion occupied seats at the solicitors' table, and did not to day stand in the felon's dock. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the War office to defend General Nelson, and Mr. Bristow, from the Admiralty, attended for Lieutenant Brand. Mr. Lewis wits recalled for the purpose of answer ing some additional questions to those put to him on his last examination, with a view of fixing the date of a certain placard called " Tito Qt t: , n's Advice to the People."

TEL—There has been very little animation in tho market, the trade having deferred their operations until to-day, when a considerable quantity will be offered for public competition. SUGAR.—Business has been inactive, and the few deal ings entered into have been at about previous rates. In the refined market dried goods have been in moderate de mand, and quotations have shown less firmness, common lumps to fair being quoted 43s to 43s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—There has been a good demand for superior qualities of colonial, and both plantation and native Ceylon have realised full values. The stocks on hand, compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, show a falling off of nearly 2,000 tons. RICE.—For soft grain descriptions there has been a more active demand, but holders are firm and require rather highez rates, which has in some measure checked business operations. TALLOW.—The market has been dull during the week, and prices at one moment declined 16 per cwt. This brought forward a few buyers, and a fair amount of busi ness was transacted for delivery in the last three months of the year, most of the tallow awing at this decline being cleared off. The last advices from St. Petersburg quote prices flat at 48f silver roubles, with hand money, for August delivery.

Loss OF IIE EX-CONEEDERSTE CRUISER SUHTER. —On Saturday the crew of this vessel, which for the past six months has sailed from Hull as a merchant steamer, under the name of the Gibraltar. -arrived at hull from Grimsby, their vessel having foundered on the Dogger Bank. The Gibraltar was on a voy age f rom Il e l s i ug b erg for Hull with a cargo of grain, and shortly after putting to sea she was found to be leaky. Ou Sunday, 10th inst., the steam pumps wore sot agoing, but they did not reduce to any appreciable extent the water which had accumulated in her hold. Day after day the pumping went on, but still the water gained, and by Wednesday all hope of getting rid of it was abandoned, as the pumps had become choked with the grain. On Thursday the water was up to the engine -room floor and still increasing. The crew began to make ready the boats to leave the ship, as there was no vessel is sight. In the evening of that day the steamer Warsaw, of Leith, hovo in sight, and, seeing the dis abled condition of the Gibraltar, ran up alongside, and offered to take her in tow ; but it soon became evident that she must sink. As the sea was smooth, and the Gibraltar was on the Dogger Bank, where her crew was likely to obtain assistance, the Warsaw loft them. At 11 o'clock on Thursday night the water had reached the gauge pipes on the boilers, and it being then considered the Gibraltar could not float much longer, the crew left her in the boats. Fortunately the weather was very fine, the sea being as calm as a pond. In about an hour from the time the crew left her the Gibraltar heeled over and went down, her decks at the same moment blowing up. It is supposed the vessel leaked beneath her boilers, as every other part of her appeared to be sound. Thus foundered Semmes' cruiser, which wrought such great havoc among American trading vessels during the struggle between the North and South. About 5 o'clock on Friday morning the crew wore picked up by a Grimsby fishing smack, and landed at that port in the evening of the same day. The Gibraltar was owned by Mr. T. H. Lyon, and she was insured. The Gibraltar was a wooden-built vessel. THE MAILS, &C.--SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.— The Royal Mail Company's steam ship La Plata, Capt. F. Woolley, was despatched hence to-day, with the West India and Pacific mails, 35 passengers, £10,300 in English silver coin, English jewellery, value £2,958; French jewellery, value £2,522; and a full cargo of British and foreign merchandise. The Peninsula and Oriental Co.'s steamship Delta, Capt. J. R. Kellock, leaves on Wednes day, with the India, China, Australian, and Now Zealand mails; and the Hamburg American Company's steamer Teutonic, Captain Bardua, on the same day, with mails, passengers, and freights for Now York. The Union, Captain H. J. von Banton, is due on Wednesday, with mails of the 9th inst. from Now York ; and the China, Captain N. Roskell, on Monday next, with the Bombay and Mediterranean mails. TRADES' UNIONS BILL.—Mr. Walpole's Bill has been printed. It gives to the Royal Commission power to enforce the attendance of witnesses and the production of documents, and to give to any witness not being the actual perpetrator of any act of outrage or crime, and making a full and true disclosures,a certificate of indemnity against any civil or criminal proceeding in respect. of any matter touching which he has been examined; but no person is to be compelled to answer questions tending to criminate him self as such actual perpetrator. No evidence taken under this bill is to be admissible against any person in any civil or criminal proceeding whatever. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.—A suicide of a most frightful character was committel last night by a man named Alfred Kenion. It appears that the deceased had been living at Woolwich, but about a month ago he saw an advertisement in one of the daily news papers'for a house and shop to let at 22, Wyndham-road, Camberwell. He took this house and shop, and carried on business as a barber and hair-dresser. On last Sunday night ho said to his wife he wished that he had stopped down at Woolwich, for that shop which he was in at pre sent would be the ruin of him. At midnight on Sunday he got somepoison from tho chemist's in the neighbourhood and asked his wife to take some of it and destroy her life. She would not take it, and ho turned her out of doors into the street. The poor thing, who had just got over her confinement, slept in the streets the whole of that night, and the next morning, when she went back to him, ho was then shaving a gentleman in the shop. She thought that ho was out of hi; miud at two o'clock. Yesterday afternoon his wife went out to soo a Mend, nud rutin•uel about half-past nine last night, when she found him lying on the floor in the shop with his head-nearly cat off from the body, and the place covered in blood, quito dead. lie had a razor in his hand covered with blood. The polica were at once called in, and the body was removed by Mr Woodman, the coroner's officer, to the dead-house, so that Mr. W. Carter, the East Surrey coroner, might hold an in- quest as soon as possible. The deceased has left a largo family. RI FORK MEETING AT BRISTOL.—We learn by telegraph that a great Reform Meeting was hold last night in the Drill-hall, Bristol; the mayor in the chair. At least 6,000 persons were present, and resolutions were passed unanimously declaring that the Government pro- position offered no hope of a satisfactory measure, and that no bill would be satisfactory which does not admit the working classes to the franchise, give the protection of tho ballot, and provide for the equal distribution of seats. A petition to the House of Commons was adopted, ati t t thanks were voted to the members for the borough. positive it was after Gordon's. Gordon never asked for a postponement of the trial in order that he might produce Dr. Major. With reference to the trial of Gordon, it was the general opinion in Mo rant Bay that he had a very fair and patient trial. He merely reflected the general opinion in the Bay ; he kept his own opinion to himself until the reign of terror was over. Mr. Poland—You attended the whole of the trial? And do do you mean to say that you wrote idle gossip and not your own opinion when you wrote in your report that he had a fair trial ?—Yes. I should have been very badly off if I had reflected on the conduct of flit; judges. Do you know the population of Jamaica ? According to the census it is put down at 400,000. He did not know that there were among them 15,000 or 16,000 Europeans. [ - The case was proceeding tvhcn wo wont to pres,,.] MARLBORO UGLI-S TREE T. PREFERRLNG A PRISON TO WORKING IN A WORKHOUSE. —Mary Ann Martin and Elizabeth Davis, two young women, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with refusing to work while casual inmates of St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. Thomas Whetstone, superintendent of labour at St. George's Workhouse, said that the prisoners wore last night admitted to the ward of the workhouse, and that morning he took them a pound of oakum each to pick. On subsequently going to see how they were getting on with their work he found that they had not touched it, and on their refusing to pick it, and laughing at him, ho took them to the master, who ordered them to be brought to that Court, the practice now becoming rather frequent. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoners that they were bound to do the work, and that they would be committed for 14 days each unless they chose to go back and do the work. The prisoners said they would prefer having 14 days to doing the work. They Were committed for 14 days each: Naval and Military Intelligence. His Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Com manding-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Saturday, the 23d inst. Orders have been received at Portsmouth dock yard from the Admiralty to prepare, for tho infor mation of the Board, a special report upon the pre sent value of the hull and machinery of the screw line-of-battle ships Colossus, and the screw frigates Imperieuse, Arrogant, Termagant, and Euryalus, with a view to those vessels being broken up or sold. Yesterd.►y an Ad►u:ralty order was received at Chatham, announcing that it has been decided to furnish ►he whole of the Royal Marines Light 111- . f entry w:th the new Snider breech-loadidg rifle, in lieu of the ordinary muzzle-loading rifle at present in Ike :al that branch of the s e re•,.;,., The new Snider rifle will be suvplicd, in the first insta..ce, to the detachments ordered fir emballottion, and that a demand has sccordingly been sent in for a supply of the new weapon for distribution to the non-com missioned officers and men serving on board the line-of-battle screw steamer Rodney, Captain A. Heneage, now fitting for service in China and Japan. The screw steamship Montezuma, belonging to Messrs. Smith, Sundius, and Co., of London, ar rived at Spithead on Sunday with a detachment of time-expired and invalided troops on board from regiments in garrison at Malta, comprising :—Royal Artillery—Assistant-Surgeon Coinyn, in medical charge of troops, nine men, and four women and children ; Ist battalion Bth Regiment—nine men and four women and children ; 2d battalion Bth— seien men and one woman; Ist battalion 24th— two men; 2 9th—nine men and ten women and children ; Ist battalion 6 th—Lieut.

The troops were disembarked from thn - ship_;at Spithead yesterday morning. The Montezuma • afterwards. sailed for London. A Murder by Bushrangers. We are indebted to the proprietors of the Dubbo Dispatch for a copy of the " Extraordinary " of that paper, published on the morning of the 10th inst., giving full particulars of the sticking up. last Friday of the mail from Bourke and Lower Macquarie. The attack, it appears, took place at Narramine, some 25 miles from Dubbo, and is thus narrated : On Saturday last Dubbo was alarmed by the re ceipt of intelligence that the mail coach from Bourke to Dubbo had been stuck up by bushrangers, and one of the passengers shot. It was at first hoped that the facts were exaggerated ; but, unfor tunately, subsequent information proved them to be only too true, for although the bags were left untonched, Mr. J.G.Grenfell was mortally wounded. The up-mail carried two passengers, Mr. Com missioner Grenfell (who was removing from the Albert iu the New England District), and a Mr. Cantrill, from Congolgan. About half -past 6on Friday evening, as the coach was about two miles from Mr. Christie's station, Narramine, two armed men, "mounted on spirited bay horses, rode out on the road from a patch of scrub, and several times ordered the coachman, Charles Stuart, to bail up. The driver was at the time filling his pipe, and the reins wore held by Mr. Grenfell, to whom he said, " Draw up; these are the bushrangers." Mr. Gren fell took no notice of the robbers' summons, but jerked the reins in order to increase the .speed of the horses. Simultaneously he drew out of his trousers pocket a small pistol, and deliberately taking aim .fired at the scoundrels. Astonished at their reception, the robbers retired a few yards, and then rode ahead of the coach, sal began to fire at the passengers with revolvers. Six or seven discharges took place ; when one ball unluckily s'ruck Mr. Grenfell in the upper part of the thigh ; another bullet went through the trousers of Cantrill, and embedded itself in the cushion on which he was sitting ; and a third shot whizzed past the ear of the driver. The horses were then pulled up, and Mr. Grenfell said, " Charley, I'm shot.' The mis creants were at this time about a hundred yards in advance of the vehicle. Mr. Greafell, whose determined courage never flagged from the moment the rascals rode up, jumped out of the mail, shook his little revolver threateningly at the robbers, and exclaimed in a loud tone of voice " Come on, you scoundrels !" However, they did not accept the challenge, but galloped off in the direction of the Bogan River. The wounded man, weak from the loss of blood, and suffering painfully from the effects of his injury, now staggered and fell. With the assistance of Mr. Cantrill, Mr. Grenfell, who was, perfectly sensible, was lifted into the coach by the driver and brought to Narramine, where he received every possible kindness and attention. Information was forthwith despatched to the police, and a medi cal man was sent for. Dr. Mountain at once started off, and Dr. Tibbits followed in a short time ; but -all the remedies which medical skill suggested could not save the brave but unfortunate man, who, after suffering th 9 most acute pain and agony, expired at 7 o'clock on Saturday evening, just 24 hours after receiving his death wound. The police, under Mr. Hogg, are in pursuit of the mur derers. For obvious reasons we declinestating whether or not a clue has been obtained to their where abouts. They are supposed to be the same men who stuck up and rifled the mail from Sydney to Wellington last Wednesday. They were disguised when they encountered Mr. Grenfell with white gauze masks, the holes around the eyes being painted black. Mr. Grenfell was formerly a gold commis sioner at Forbes, and at the time of the reoganisa tion of the goldfields management was appointed Crown Lands Commissioner for the Albert district, Bourke being his head-quarters. His gentlemanly manner and affability endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, either officially or other wise ; and we feel certain his death will be deplored by a large circle of friends. He leaves a wife and two or three children to lament his loss. The coo! and brave manner in which Mr. Grenfell defended the mail, and prevented the rascals from robbing i is beyond mere eulogy ; and we trust the inhabi tants of the district will practically illustrate their admiration of his heroic conduct by erecting to his memory a monument recording the manner of his death.—Sydney Herald.
