The advices from America by telegraph cause Mme uneasin ess i n fi nanc i al circles. The nomina tion of General Grant for the next Presidency at i m early a period, it is thought, is intended to give BoPport to President Johnson. The nomination, ee "Pled with the President's threat that he will not Per mit any e ff ort at impeachment, indicates a sp i r i t of resistance to the present Congress.

I was formerly in the Federal army of the United States; first as a private and afterwards as an officer. I knew the latter prisoner (Burke) as Burke and Winslow. I first became acquainted with him in the army in 1862 under the name of Burke. He was a sergeant of engineers in the Federal army, the 15th New York. I after wards knew him as an officer in the same regiment; he was a captain. I was first connected with the Fenian organisation in 1862. I was a member of the Brotherhood—a centre at one time. I first joined it at Harrison's Landing in the State of Virginia. I first saw Burke with, respect to the organisation in July, 1865, iu the city of New York—at a Fenian pic-nic first, and after ' wards at the head-quarters of the organisation in that place. The pic-nic was got up for the purpose of raising money for the Fenian organisation. It was in the month of July, 1865. Nothing passed between the prisoner Burke and myself on that occasion with respect to the organi sation. The meeting at the head-quarters took place at Union-square. At the meeting none hut principals of the organisation were allowed to be present. A person named John O'Maliony, who was the head of the Fenian organisation in America was present. I had arrived from Ireland to attend the meeting. I was the bearer of despatches from Colonel Kelly in Ireland to John O'Mahony in New York. While I was in Ireland I saw a person named Stephens there. I- was intimately acquainted with him. He was in gaol when I left. The Kelly I have mentioned was Colonel Thomas Kelly, who was rescued in Manchester. Kelly was principal of the military part of the organisation, and deputy to Stephens. The despatches of which I was the bearer from Kelly stated that five or six days after I had left that Stephens would be out of gaol. The news was afterwards confirmed. 'That despatch was read at the meeting. I left Ire land with that despatch on the 19th of November, 1865. I left Ireland in the Scotia on a Sunday. I recollect being in Dublin in April, 1866. I arrived on the 26th of December, 1866, in Ireland with despatches from Colonel Kelly and Stephens. It was after Stephens got out of gaol. I carried two despatches —one was written by Kelly, the other by Stephens. I recollect the habeas corpus being suspended in Dublin ; it was after I had arrived from America. On that taking place I went to Liverpool, by direction of Colonel Kelly, as it was feared we would all be arrested. At Liver pool I saw Colonel Burke several times. Ile was living in Seymour-street, Moon-street, and Lower Nelson-street. I saw him at Fenian mectingi. These meetings were exclusively of American Fenian officers. Burke, with the rest, took part in the discussion at those meetings. The subject discussed was the general workings of the organisation. We nev,+r met for nothing ; it was always to complete the organisation. I cannot recollect the precise subjects discussed, but sometimes the subject would be how to get money, at another how to extend the circles, and at another the general plans to be taken. I recollect, on one occasion, the subject was the destruction of the shipping at Liverpool. On the occasion of the rising the vessels were to be burnt by Greek fire. All the principal shipping towns were to be visited for the same purpose. I also directed that Chester Castle was to he seized, and the arms taken from it. 'That was discovered in January or February of the pre sent year. I rather think it was in January, but I will not be positive. The mail train going from London to Holyhead was to be seized, and the arms put into it. The rails were to be torn up after the train had started. The telegraph wires were also to be destroyed. The mail boat at Holyhead was to be seized, and the arms were to be put on board that boat, and landed at the most convenient part in Ireland. Captain M'Cafferty was to have command of the expedition. That is the person who was tried and con victed at Dublin. I gave evidence at his trial. There was no day fixed for that at the meeting at which it was first arranged, but afterwards it was set for the 11th of February. I went with a number of Fenians as far as Birken head that day to the station for Chester. There were about 500 went from Liverpool on that occasion, together with all the American officers there at the time. I remained at Birkenhead after they had started. At a later part of the day I received orders from Captain M'Cafferty. I got them through a publican of the name of Gibbons. In consequence of those orders we all went back to Liverpool. I saw all that left by the train for Chester return to Liverpool—that is all I know. A week or so before the 11th Burke left Liverpool —at least I did not see him after that. Ile left with the intention of com ing to London, but I don't know whether he did or not. This would be in January, according to the best of my recollection. Burke did not tell me what he was going to London for, but he informed me what was his purpose in Liverpool. It was for the purpose of the Chester affair, and for the purpose of forwarding the work for the formation of the directory in London. He represented himself to be specially sent by Stephens for the purpose of knowing whether the American officers in Liver pool were satisfied with the action of the direc tory, and whether they were going to take action in the Chester rising. I never saw Burke again from the time until he was in custody. I recollect that Burke took a prominent part in the discussion at the meetings I have mentioned. He was, in fact, looked upon as a very prominent man. I knew Deasy intimately. He was present at the meeting. All the American officers were present, of which Deasy was one. There were about 30 officers in all. I have seen Burke in company with Deasy, O'Connor, and other officers. The object of the Fenian organisation was to overthrow the Queen's Government in Ireland and to esta blish a Republic instead.

Mr. Thomas llamilton—l am resident magistrate in Cork. OD the 21st Nov.; 1866, 1 received intern ence that led me to go to the Quay o n th e f o ll ow i ng morning to see the steamer Halcyon. I also saw two large boxes, pointed out to me as suspicious bales. I had them forced open. The larger contained 50 Enfield rifles with bayonets, and the other 30 guns of the same description, with ballet-moulds and spare nipples. The boxes were addressed " J. Daley and Co. ;" they w ere also marked—the huger one, " Oiled baize," D4in a square. The smaller one was marked "American leather cloth," and the letter E in a diamond. I obtained the ship's manifest. The steamer was from Liverpool to Cork. The shippers appeared to be Cook and Co., Liverpool. I produce one of the 80 rifles with bayonet, also one of the bullet moulds, and also oneof the spare nipples. The other part of the contents of the packages corresponded with the specimens. Dr. Kenealey said he did not propose to cross• exa mine witnesses who gave evidence similar to that of Mr. Hamilton. questions would be put only to the approvers. Mr. Giffard was obliged to his leaned friend for the information. Mr. Kylock was here recalled to- identify the ride, bullet-mould, and nipples, as a'portion of some property he had sAd, but he could not say to whom he sold them. The rifles he had sold to the prisoner Burke were precisely of the same pattern. Ile sold him 500. The bayonet attached /o the rifle now in his hand was not the one made for it, but all the bayonets would fit either of the rifles he had sol 1. Mr. Giflard, Q.C., said that that was all the evi dence he was prep Ind with to-ilay, tut on the next ocelsion he anticipated having another prisoner in ens' ody. Kenealey Enid, not wiCistanding the order of the m:tgistrate, the money found upon Enrico had not been returne ito him.

Giflard said it was not given up because the prisoner Burke refused to give a receipt for the Mr. Norton said that was not the fact ; the pri soner never refused to give a receipt. Sir T. Henry said he directed that five sovereigns instead of the Bank of England note, found on the prisoner Burke, should be returned to him, and he thought it ought to have been done. Dr. Kenealey said it was most important to the prisoner to have, as he actually wanted it for food Sir T. Henry said the money would be handed over by the police, and it was only through some misunderstanding that it had not been given before. The prisoners were then removed. Confinement seems to be telling very much upon Burke, as he now presents a very careworn appearance compared with that he presented when first taken into cus tody. During the time Corydon was giving his evidence ho looked at him i❑ a most contemptuous manner, and took copious notes of his evidence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, IN DIFFICULTY.—A quiet, respectable-looking man, addressing Mr. Arnold, said—lf you please sir, there's been another man living with my wife— Can he do it ? Mr. Arnold — : What do you mean ? Applicant—l want you to give me advice. I came here some months ago and asked Mr. Beard's advice. Mr. Arnold—l hope he gave you good advice. Applicant—Yes ; he did. This man has been visiting my wife for some months. Is that right ? Applicant—The man's a soldier. She's in deep distress. She's confined with her second child now. Am I bound to keep it ? _ _ Mr. Arnold—That would depend upon whether it is yours. Applicant—She's written me a very penitent let - ter, saying she's very sorry, and wants to come back. Am Itodo it ? Applicant—That's not what I mean. I don't like it, if I ain't compelled. Mr. Arnold—What do you mean ? Applicant—Am I bound to take her back ? Mr. Arnold—Certainly not. Applicant—They lived together in my name. Is that right ? Applicant—She has been running into debt ; am I bound to pay ? Mr. Arnold—l should think not ; that would depend upon circumstances. Applicant—What circumstances? Mr. Arnold--If you can prove she has com mitted adultery, she has forfeited all claim to your support, and I should consider that you would not be liable to any debts she had contracted since that occurred. Applicant—Then I ain't bound to have any more to do with her any more. Mr. Arnold—No. THE DESTRUCTION OF HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Burris Cam. Coneol.

Up to half-past two o'clock this afternoon the engines were playing upon the smouldering ruins of the noble theatre, the destruction of which has been total and complete, as not a vestige of the contents of the building has escaped the flames. The melancholy effects of the conflagration were visible amongst the immense crowds that congregated in front of the building in the Haymarket. Conspicuous amongst the gazers were many of the minor artistes all of whom were expressing the deepest regret at being thus suddenly deprived of employment. No one amongst them appeared to be able to form the faintest idea of the cause, as during the last rehearsal fur Fidelio, which did not conclude until half-past 5 o'clock, . very little light or scenery was used. Mr. Mapleson did not quit the theatre until six o'clock in the evening, everything appear ing as safe as usual. To-day the box-cfhee, the grand entrance to the theatre, and those of both pit and gallery are blocked up by the smoking remains of the once splendid library and wardrobe, and through the window openings in the front wall dense clouds of steam are seen constantly arising. The occupiers of stalls and shops in the arcade are large losers by this unfortunate catastrophe. Their shops have been completely gutted, and the appearance of the arcade fiagway this morning was sad indeed. Chairs, tables, beds, clothes, all sorts of fancy goods and haberdashery were strewn about, irreparably damaged, while the owners of the ruined property looked sorrowfully upon the wreck. Mine. Epitaux's restaurant is closed up, so is Mr. Egg's gunniaking establishment, as well as a cigar divan close by. These shops are upon the Pall Mal side of the block of buildings, and the rears of all the premises in that row have been more or less injured. Probably the greatest loss will arise from the hasty removal of furniture and goods under such fearful risks of damage from the mingled sleet and lire. As to the theatre itself, the front and back walls alone stand. The aide walls yielded and fell inwards about eleven o'clock last night, so that nothing remains to show to what purpose this splendid edifice was devoted, save the colonade, which is intact, and the fine figures in Lasso relievo which ornament the wall facing the Haymarket. As to the actual cause of the fire, it is, up to the present, not ascer tained. The gas, which usually comes iu for blame in occurrences of this kind, is set down by many as the cause, but, from all the information we can gather, that does not appear to be a correct conclusion. Where the fire was first discovered was at the back of thestagaen,d,boelnd scenery which wa a s large quantity of properties , stored. Properties, scenery--the elder Grieve's best—mechanical appliances, panoramic views, and the thousand and one things which are to be found behind the curtains of a theatre have been destroyed to the value of nearly £50,000. Th e m usicians have almost without exception lost their instruments ; and not the least sad feature in the calamity is that about 300 persons have been thrown out of employment by it. it is stated that the value of Mr. Mapleson's interest in the theatre was estimated at over £lO,OOO, but it appears the property was not insured. UTILISATION OF COKE OVEN GASES. —Probably the first attempt to utilise the gases given off in the pro cess of coking has been made at the works of Messrs. Carver and Co., of St. Etienne. The gases are collected and drawn off through the medium of pipes, when the tar, ammoniacal liquids, &c., are condensed. From these condensed liquids benzine, naphthaline, sul phate of ammonia, artificial manures, and a number of dyestuffs, are made. The gas remaining after condensation of the liquids, which is, of course, ordinary illuminating gas, can be used in the usual manner. It is estimated that in France alone no less than 4,000,000 tons of coal are annually coked, and it has been proved that Measrs. Carver's process is capable of giving a profit of nearly 2s. upon every ton of coal treated. A more con clusive evidence of the advantage resulting from that mind technical education so readily obtainable on the Continent could scarcely be desired.—Mining Journal.

The Medical evidence concluded the case for the prosedution. Dr. Alfred Swaine Taylor stated that he found 'ldood and bloody water on various portions of the dress of the prisoner, including his coat, trousers, and shirt (at the wristbands). Two pocket-knives were examined. On one of them blood was found coagulated where the buckthorn handl I touched the plate.. The blood was human. It had the same character as that on a stone which was eamined. He found it impossible to believe that the knife bad b.-en used in the mariner desc:ibed. If the knife ladbe )1 used for the .disembowelling there must have been a ;.:r,at deal of blood upon it. With regard to the clothes, blood enough to fill a thimble would make a great skew. The colouring power of blood was very great. The quantity of blood very small. - A bleeding from the nose would produce the same kind of stains. To effect the cutting up and muti lation spoken of, the cutting off the members and the disembowelling, even an ine:Terienced Person need not be more than half an hour if he had proper weapons—a sharp knife or even a table-knife. Rod ink in a solicitor's office would not have caused the stains. No colouring matter but blood could have produced them. Mr. Carter put a question as to whether, in the opinion of the witness, the enormity of the crime was evidence . of insanity. Mr. Bere objected. His Lordship said be utterly repudiated the doctrine that the enormity of the crime was any evidence of the state of mind of the criminal. Dr. Taylor : Homicidal mania is generally strewn by the killing on some sudden impulse, and most frequently of some loved object. There is no accomplice, no attempt to conceal the crime. There is often no justification, and the perpetrator glories in it. As a rule there is no pre meditation. The perpetrator is perfectly indifferent to punishment, and never denies the act. Dr. Taylor agreed that insanity may be transmitted by descent, and that where a person's relatives on both sides have shewn traces of insanity, the presumption is that the person would be affected in the same way. Louis Leslie, M.E.C.S., described the appearance of the body and members. In cross-examination he said : I believe it would be impossible to dismember a child of that age with a knife like the one produced. I think a larger instrument must have been used. Still I think a man, with undisturbed possession Jf a hopfield, might with either of these knives have effected the dismemberment of a child eight years of age in an hour. I should think the dismemberment took place about half an hour after death; but that is a point on which it is impossible to speak with confidence. The body was cut and hacked, and mutilated and torn ; but I still think the person who did it and could choose his position need not be much marked with blood. The prisoner was not intoxicated when I saw him, but he appeared to me as if he had been so at some period of the day. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Carter addressed the jury for the defence. The defence would present two aspects. He would first say the prosecution had not made out that the prisoner was the man who had accomplished this dreadful murder. He would also call witnesses to show that the man was not responsible; that he was subject to the misfortune of such mental and bodily disease as should entitle him to a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. He should appeal to them on that ground to spare the public the horror and the hideousness of the spectacle, and the altogether pernicious teachings of the gallows. The theory of the prosecution had broken down. He contended that everything showed that the prisoner was not responsible. There was no proof that he possessed a weapon with which this deed could have been done. Hs always said he was innocent, though things looked dark for him. Reverting to the entry in the diary —" Killed a young girl ; it was fine and hot "—one would imagine that some madman or idiot had done it, having found some new work in which he found delight. But on looking over the diary they found it was a mere elliptic or formal way of entry. If he had intended the entry as a confession, he might as well have confessed to the police. He would say, with all respect to the learned judge, that the nature of the crime itself showed that whoever did it must have been mad. The learned counsel then went through the evidence, pointing out discrepancies and undoubted mistakes, as well as the weakness of children's statements, and their imperfect knowledge of the nature of an oath. Tie warned them against the prejudice raised against the prisoner by the mere suspicion —a. prejudice so s'xc,ng, that if the man were tun.7lng a crowd now they would thenrielves commit murder by tearing him to pieces. He main tained, in spite of all that bad been said, that certain acts were in themselvea evidence of insanity, and he forcibly depicted to the jury the awful punishment in volved in the consigning of this man to a living grave in a lunatic asylum, a punishment in itself more terrible than death. Frederick haler, tailor, Guildford, father of the Pri soner, was the first witness called for the defence. He stated that the prisoner had always been a nervous child. At 16 he had the typhus fever. After that he always complained a great deal of his head. Up to 26 he had not known him indulge in intoxicants. In 1864 ho was, very desponding. At that time he (the father) believed his son was quite out of his mind. From Christmas to April his restlessness increased and he was watched for fear he should make away with himself. He then went away. The father saw and heard nothing of him for some months. On one occasion he stayed out all night. When told that his sister was in an excited state about him he said, " I will go and drown myself." The father added that when he saw his son in July 1860, in the service of Mr. Clements, his appearance and demeanour struck him with horror. Cross-examined by Mr. Bore : His son was the member of a literary institute for twelve years. He was also secretary to a debating society and a Sunday-school teacher. A: number of witnesses who had known the prisoner for several years deposed to having remarked peculiarities in his manner, which had suggcstcd to them unsoundness of mind. He had frequently threatened in their hearing to Ynnmit suicide. William Curtis, surgeon, a member of the Society of Friends, stated that the Rowe family (the mother's side) was predisposed to insanity. Mrs. Baker's nephew was in a lunatic asylum. The prisoner had a homicidal tendency. Mr. Taylor, surgeon, of Guildford, had attended the family for twenty-five years. As a child the prisoner was very weakly, and still more so after the typhus fever. Just four years ago his father had an attack of acute mania. He was violent. On the day witness saw him he had attempted to strike his daughter with a poker. He had delusions. He believed 1, is son and eaughter intended to poison him. Mr. Justice Mellor, in addressing the jury, cautioned them against the effect of any considerations arising from the supposed impropriety of inflicting capital punishment. His experience had been that uo punishment seemed to have so deterrent an effect on some minds. They must cmsider whether he murdered the child, and whether he was responsible for the act. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner, standing at the bar, ward 'the verdict without eL.otion. He paid no attention to the summons of the Olerk of the Arraigns asking him if he had any thing to say why sentence of death should not' be passed upon him. The letirned Judge, addressing the prisoner, paid, with great solemnity : " I feel deeply that a man of your age and in your circumstances should be found guilty of such an offence. I feel it is a shock to our common humanity that such a man should have committed such a fearful crime. I beseech you to prepare for eternity. You must appear shortly before the searcher of all hearts, and it is my earnest hope that you may still, if you apply yourself with all diligence—you may still obtain grace. It is impossible that mercy can be extended to you by any earthly judge. Make the best of your time; consider the coming judgment and the interests of your immortal soul." His lordship then passed sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner gave no sign of emotion, but left the loci with a firm tread.
