In " The Ladies of Be ver h o ll ow " we only recognised the shadow of our old favourite.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday, inciuded the withdrawal of 186,000 sovereigns, and £82,000 in foreign coin, on account, it is presumed, of the Bank of France. Further supplies are expected to follow, and as silver is re quired for India there is some apprehenson of an adverse specie movement that will prevent the in creasing easiness that was generally, expected to ensue in the general discount market. Indeed, symptoms of greater firmness are already mani fested, and 61 instead of 61 per cent. is the current figure at which the mercantile public can get their last three mouths' bills negotiated. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon thero was an advance in the rates on Amsterdam. The Syria, which left yesterday, took out £133,640 in gold for Alexandria; and £65,900 in gold, and £411,371 in silver, for Bombay. The Armenian, from the coast of Africa, has brought £4,375. The Mexican dollars by the last packet have been sold for China at 58. 2d. per ounce—showing a rise of Id. compared with the price obtained for the previous supply. Mr. W. N. Rudge has zealously collected upwards of £6OO on the Stock Exchange for the National Lifeboat Institution. The lifeboats rescued, during the storms of last year, 417 shipwreeked persons on our coasts. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse to-day (according to Mr. Reuter's telegram), the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 70e.—Heavy. The market for the English Funds became ex ceedingly depressed late yesterday afternoon when it was known that so large a quantity of gold had been taken from the Bank of England to send abroad. This morning a little better feeling pre vailed, and Consols were 901 j for transfer, and 91 i for the account, but this tendency to renewed firmness was not prolonged. Sales being subsequently negotiated sent the quotations down respectively to 90 8 4 90 8 91. There is manifestly a very unfavourable impression regarding the ef f ect that may be produced by the demand for gold on continental 'aceolnt, and for silver to send to the East. The probability is recognised of such a movement as will reproduce unsatisfactory results, which were productive of so much stringency two or three months ago. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 908 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4 prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1061 ; and do. Bonds, 49. prem. General depression has prevailed in the Foreign Market, and business is rather quiet. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 67 ; do. Consolides, 461 ; Greek, 23i a ; Spanish Passive, 331 1 ; do. Certifi cates, 13k- ; Mexican, 354. ; Portuguese, 474 ; and the Confederate Loan, 38 40. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and prices generally have exhibited a further downward movement. Great Northern receded £1 10s. ; Metropolitan, £1; North Western, 108; and Great Eastern, Midland, and South Eastern, ss. North Eastern (Berwick) have improved 108. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit little change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have remained inactive.

SIR GEORGE BROWN, commanding the forces in Ireland, has issued an order, directing that, for the future, bands attending military funerals are not to play when re turning therefrom. THE VENERABLE HERR FINTELMANN, the King of Prussia's head-gardener at Charlottenburg, died on Christmas-day at the age of ninety. Those who have visited Berlin will recall how he used to tell, with evident pride, that in his boyhood, when he was employed in the gardens of Sans Souci, Frederick the Great was wont to search out the largest and finest figs with his eyes, and, pointing to them with his cane, make him mount the trees and gather them for him. But, if he spoke with pride of this occupation of his boyhood connecting his memories with the great king, he would tell with enthusiasm of the culture of the first dahlias, which Humboldt had brought over from America, and first introduced into Prussia. To old Mr. Fintelmann the beautiful gardens on Peacocks' Island, near Potsdam, the favourite resort of King Frederick William the Third, owe their chief attrac tions. GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE.—Last night Mr. Hankey, M.P., delivered a lecture to the Bank of England Library and Literary Association in the Reading room of the institution. The chair was occupied by Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Govern or o f t h e B an k, w h o s t a ted that lecturerth o e dgn , had taken a leading part in founding the society, and had shown great interest in its progress. Mr. Hankey chose for h is subject " One Year of Governme nt E xpen dit ure ; or, how the money co m e s in, and goes out." He first dealt with the cash account of the Treasury from the let of April, 1862, to the 31st of March, 1863, specify ing the amount expended by each department of the Government, and explaining how the various items were made out. The total ordinary e*periciitUre for the year was 169,302,007 19s. 2d. He Lhen went through the items of revenue in the same way ; showing what the seteral de• partments produced, wit '1 the cost of collection. The ordinary income Was X/ 0ji04,560 16s. 3d., being A 302,652 Ns. Id. in excess of the exp en ditur e . He pointed oat, h o w e ver, that in addition £1,050,000 had beet expended on fortifications, reducing tba excess of income over expendi ture to £252,552 16s. ii. Mr. Hankey concluded his lecture, which Was listened to throughout with marked attention, by paying a hiht, tribute to the honour and in tegrity which in the pressit, day characterised the public servants. The proceedirgs terminated With a vote of thanks to the lecturer ant the chairman. bofutbutsiness in due time. But BLACK AND WHITE,--One William Still, in a letter to the Philadelphia Preset, dated the 11th alt., writes as follows :—" I had occasion today to come into pl th ot a ue t tn p od u ner rp tdt e h s e e h . platform., Philadelphia from Germantown, and entered onti of the City Qu'ekly the conductor ap proachedigule that was due to me, he the fare, but before he ' Why is this?'

But the God-given h ue of the skin of his daughter rendered her obnoxious to the r u l es o f the railway company, and s h e had to submit to tho outrage." Charge of Murder and Piracy on the High Sea, BOW-STREET—(Tms DAY). This morning the ten seamen, charged with the above serious offence, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. The names of the prisoners are John Lyons, a Malay, Barcelia la Santo, Morato Durano, and Francisco Blanco, Manila men, Frank Power, a Spaniard, Marco Varto, a native of the lonian Islands, Marciliano, a Greek, Miguel Lopez, also Joseph Chance, Malays, Georg° Carlos, and John Williams. Lyons is said to be the ringleader in the crimes with which they are charged. Mr. Welsby, from the lreasury, prosecuted the prisoners for the murder of six persons, for piracy. and also for the wilful destruction of the ship Flowery Land. Mr. Beard, instructed by the Spanish Consul, appeared for seven of them. The other three were undefended. The evidence of the boy James Early (examined on Saturday last) who gave information to the authorities at Monte Video having been read over, Mr. Welsby said in the first instance he would call Mr. Strugnell, who said—l am a clerk in the registry of seamen. I produce from that office a copy of the register of the ship Flowery Land. It is received at our office from the Custom-house by direction of the Board of Trade. The Flowery Land is a British vessel, and is owned solely by Wemyss Ker. A certified copy of the ship's articles was then put in and contained the names of all the seamen on board the un fortunate vessel, amongst which were those of all the pri • Boners. Mr. Beard said he had no question to ask the witness. William Tager, a native of Scotland, and second mate of the Flowery Land, said—l left London in the ship for Sin gapore on the 28th of July last. The captain's name was John Smith, and his brother George was a passenger going to Singapore. The first mate's name was John Carswell. The steward was a Malay—his name was Abo. The cook and lamptrimmer were Chinese. The carpenter's name was Anderson, and there was also a French seaman aboard named Canderot. All the prisoners formed part of the crew. Some time after we sailed from London the Captain made some complaint about the prisoners not being qualified to do their duty. I have never seen any violence towards either of them. I have heard him call them coolies and sons of —. The men on their part complained of not having enough victuals and water. Blanco was the spokesman on the occasion. The men's complaints were attended to. I recollect, about the Ist of September, Carlos was wanted on deck, but instead of coming up he went and turned into his bed, He said he wanted his watch below, and that he was not well. When he refused to come up, all the watch, seven in number, refused to come on deck. George Carlos, Marco Varto, Marciliano, and Francisco Blanco were the only names of the seven that he could recollect. I and the chief mate, Mr. Carswell, wont down to Carlos, and told him to come on deck and do his duty. He refused and said he was sick, upon which the mate took hold of him and pulled him out of bed, and gave him several blows with his fist. Mr. Beard—The chief mate did that P Witness—Yes. Examination continued—Carlos was got on deck, he still refused to do his work, and the master then told me to make him fast to the rigging with a piece of rope. I did so. He remained tied about five minutes,. when the captain came out of his cabin and told me to loose him. I did so. The captain gave him some medi cine and told him to go and turn in. There was another quarrel with the first mate a few days after Carlos and another were fighting. He told them to leave eff, but as they refused he took.hold of Carlos, and they had a struggle together. I recollect the night the captain was killed. I had the first watch. The , first mate relieved me at one o'clock. There was a house on deck, on the port side of which the ten prisoners lived together. The other side was occupied by the carpenter, the witness Early, and Cande- rot. The cook's galley formed the third portion of it, and the boatswain's stores were kept in the remaining portion of it. Going down the companion ladder, the first berth on the port side would be Mr. Carswell's, nest to that the captain's brother, and then mine. The captain occupied all the starboard side for his sleeping and state room. Th 9 ship's cabin was used generally by the crew. While I was in my berth on the morning in question, at about 3 o'clock I was awoke by a noise on deck. It sounded as if people were beating pieces of wood on the companion. I tried to get on deck, but a person was lying there on his face, so that 1 was prevented going up. There were a number of persons on the poop beating him on the head with handspikes. I don't know how many were there, but I saw Francisco Blanco amongst them. I heard his voice, and by the little light above I was able to recognise him. lam certain about that. I received a blow on the head with a capstan bar. I tried to pull the man up the companion, but could not, and called out for the captain. I got no answer, and then I went into the captain's berth and found it empty. I then went back into the main cabin and found him lying dead with a pool of blood around him, and trimmed the light to enable me to see better. He was lying on the floor. All down the left side of his shirt was cut as from knives. After this I went to the captain's brother's berth and found him gone also. After this I went into my berth and fastened myself inside. This was about 10 minutes after I first heard the noise. While I wad locked in I heard several persons sing out for me to come up. I did not go, and in a short time eight men came down to m 3 berth. There were amongst them, John Lyons spokesman, Fran cisco Blanco, Marco Varto, Joseph Chance, M. Durano, George Carlos, Borcelia la Santo. Marciliano I think was amongst them, but of this lam not sure, Lyons spoke in English ; he said " Come out of your berth, we want to speak to you." I said, " What are you going to do with me, are you going to kill me ? " He said " No." I then came out, and he said " We've murdered the captain and the mate, and the captain's brother has got away, and we dont't know where he's gone. We wish you to navigate the ship to some place, in order to get on shore." They were all quite ignorant of navigation. Mr. Ilenry—Did all :hose with Lyons hear what he said ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Henry--And understood what he said ? Witness—Yes; Carlos and Chance, I am sure, did. Examination continued—l asked, " Where am Ito take the ship to ?" to which George Carlos said, " Take it to Buenos Ayres or the River Plate." Mr. Henry—Did he say that in English ? Witness--Yes. Examination continued—l agreed to take the ship to one of those places. The ship then stood 19 S., 36 W. I next ____ . . . . saw MarcoVarto with a rope round the dead captain's neck, and, as he was about to haul the body up, I asked to be allowed to saw the body up in canvass, as I did not like to see it go overboard naked. I got the canvass and sewed up the body, and then went to my berth. I did not see what became of the body. I afterwards saw Chance put his hand upon a large knife by his side in a very threatening manner. About eight o'clock in the morning they all assembled in the cabin, and John Lyons, still acting as spokesman, said the men wanted to see all that was in the captain's state berth. Mr. Henry—Who was present when that was said ? Witness—Chance, Blanco, Varto, Durano, la Santo, and some others, but I can't recollect the others. All hands, I believe, were in the cabin, except the man at the wheel. Examination continued—l don't recollect the name of the man at the wheel. I told Lyons he could do as he liked. All I wanted was my life.. The prisoners then went into the captain's cabin, and I saw George Carlos, Joseph Chances, Francisco Blanco ; and Varto rummaging about the captain's drawers and writing desk. The others were sitting outside. The four men when they got all they wanted, brought it out amongst the others, who were outside. Lyons ordered me to share it out. I said no. I don't want to do anything of the sort. You can do that very well without me. He said you must do it. I was compelled to do as he directed. Ho said it was to be divided into 17 shares, but Marco Varto said only eight should have itd This he said in English. Mr Henry--Did he name the eight ? Witness—l cannot say. Examination proceeded—Lyons took no notice, and I WO directed to divide it into 17, and this gave about £4 a share, leaving a sovereign er two over. The captain's gold Wateh was put into the writing desk because it could not be divided. Mr. Henry-4)ld any one say anything about the watch ? Witness--No. The captain's, his brother's, and the mate's clothes were then brought out by four men, who gathered up the money in the state cabin. The four fellows were helping themselves, and then the other men took what they pleased. I Was not asked to share the clothes. They next brought out the hoots and 'Ames. The chest was broken open, and everybody helped themselves. I don't know who broke the chest. Tflo cargo of the ship consisted of bale goods, bottled beer, champagne, and iron pipes. The next thing after they had done wag to plunder the cargo. Mr. Henry--What did they do ? Witness—They broke open the bales of goods, helped themselves to what they liked, and drank the champagne. Witness continued—A ship was sighted a few days after the murders. She was nearly in the same course as we were. I asked Lyons if I might speak to her, as I wanted id compare longitude. He said he did not think the other Mkt Would allow me to speak to the ship, or to hoist any signrk hut he would speak to them about it. Ile went forward to dd sO. When he came back he said I might, but that I must not Ray anything about what had occurred on board the ship. I said I would not. I steered towards the ship and spoke her. Sho proved to be an English ship from Liverpool, the Friends, George Carlos told mo to give our ship's name the Louisa, and noi, say anything about where we were from or where we were bound to. I gave the name Louisa, from Newe Dieppe to Valparaiso, 47 days out. All the men were on the quarter- deck when this was done. I gave the fictitious voyage to save my life. If I had not done so I should have gone overboard. Atter the ship Friends passed, there sprang up a tremendous quarrel between the Spaniards, the two Greeks, and the Manilla wen. John Lyons told me the men thought I had told the other ship what had been done. They all looked very threatening at me, and I thought my life was in danger.

It was a desperate gash. I dressed the wound and stopped the blood, and no more was heard about it. I heard Marco Varto say to the steward, " "Why don't you give me wine and other nice things when I comeldown to the cabin." The steward made no reply. On the next day I recollect being called down into the steward's berth about the cap tain's watch. Blanco, Chance, Marco Varto, and Durano were amongst those inside, and Lyons was standing out side. I had asked the steward to put the ship's papers in his berth, but the prisoners found them out and threw them overboard. The reason of the new search was that the watch had been stolen out of the desk. Chance asked me if I know anything about the watch or the ship's papers. I said, "No ." I was afraid to speak the truth. The next day we made land about 4 a.m., about 160 miles horn Monte Video, near the mouth of the River Plate. The men then refused to speak to me. They put the ship about, stood off the land all day, and about dark were about 3 miles from land. Lyons came up and asked me why I did not tell them they were so close to the land, but I replied I did not know myself how close I was, In the evening I was in the cabin, and about 8 o'clock in the evening, I was ordered upon deck. I went and found the men clewing up the sails, and getting ready to put the boats over the side. I asked Lyons what they were going to do with the ship, but he refused to reply Two boats were got out. I stood on the poop lo o ki ng on. I asked Marceliano shat they were going Co do with the ship, and Blanco said they were going to scuttle her. About 10 of the same night I got into one of the boats, the steward, Early, the cook, and Marco Varto were in it. The other men were about the other boat which was made fast to the stern. The boat I was in was pulled away from the ship about 100 yards. When we got that distance some one on board the ship called out to us to come back. The cook and Frank Powell did not care about doing so, when Marco Varto struck Powell with the oar to make him do so. The boat was pulled back, and when we got alongside Lyons called me, the steward, and all in the boat on deck. I went, bat I did not see Early. Before 1 got upon deck a handspike was thrown at the boat, but it went overboard, but, in so doing, struck the steward. The steward refused to leave the boat. I heard Lyons tell him that if he did not do so they would make him. I don't know whether anybody else was in the boat. I saw Durano and Lyons throw bottles at the steward. Chance and Blanco, each of whom had a knife, when I got on deck walked me round. The next I heard of the steward was his crios fur help. He was in the w. ter. He called to Lyons for help. Lyons, with an oath, said he wouldn't help him. Lyons said the steward had deceived him once or twice, but he should not do so again. I never saw the steward again, so I believe he was drowned. I was ordered into the other boat by Blanco and Lyons. I don't know what was then king done with the cargo. I went ii.to the boat and stopped there about an hour and a half. There were several things passed into the boat, but I don't know by whom. Some of the men were on board the ship, others were in the boats. Lyons, Blanco, Chance, and Durano were the last to leave the ship. They had just time to get into the boat before the vessel went down. The two boats steered for land, the larger one towing the smaller one. We landed on the 3d October, about 4 p.m., on the beach of the River Plate. When we landed I missed the cock and the lamp-trimmer, and I understood from Lyons that they had been left on board, and had gone down with the ship. Mr. Henry—Give his own words. Witness—He said the cook and the " casak"— (laughter) —had gone down with the ship. Witness continued—When I got on shore I saw some of the cargo, the captain's chronometer, compass, and other instruments there. A number of country people came down to the beach and spoke to me in Spanish. Chance told we to say the ship was from Peru to Bordeaux, laden with guano. That she had foundered 500 miles from land, and that they had lost the captain and the other seamen dur ing a gale of wind. There was no one amongst them that spoke English. I stopped that night at a farm house belonging to a man named Corrie. He drove me next day to a village called Rocha. I heard some of the prisoners, Chance in particular, telling the police the same story that I had been desired to say. I learned that there was a man some miles from there who could speak English, and me and the Frenchman stole away in a cart. We went 21 miles and then met a man who spoke English, Emmanuel Ramas, a storekeeper, to whom I told the story. Some thing was done. I gave evidence before the Alcade at Rocha. The prisoners in the meantime had been captured. I afterwards repeated my evidence before the Naval Court at Monte Video. Cross-examined by Mr. Beard—The crew in all, when the ship left London, numered 19. I did not hear of any misconduct previous to the beating of Carlos. I did not observe that either the men went in fear of Carlos after that. Lyons was the spokesman, because he was the only one who could speak English properly. I can't say who was the leader in the matter. They all seem alike. Mr. Henry asked if they wished to put any questions to the witnesses, because if they did, now was the proper time to do so. None of the prisoners making any reply, The court adjourned for a short time. On the magistrate again taking his seat on the bench, the depositions were translated and read over to the pri soners. [We shall continue the case in our late edition.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE FRAUDULENT TRADE MARKS ACT.—Mr. Brad laugh, from the office of Mr. R. Leverson, St. Helen's place, City, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for summonses under the above act, just come into operation, against two auc- tioneers for exposing for sale pianofortes bearing names which had been forged, and for refusing to give information from whom they were obtained. For exposing the piano fortes for sale the auctioneer was liable (under the 4th sec tion) to a fine of £5, and if with a guilty knowledge (under the 12th section) it was a misdemeanour, and punishable by fine or imprisonment; and the refusing to give information respecting the articles rendered the auctioneer liable to a fine of £5, under the 6th section. Mr. Bradlaugh stated that one of the auctioneers told him that he ought to go against others as well as him, as there were plenty of others doing the same thing—namely, selling pianofortes with forged makers' names upon them. Mr. Tyrwhitt granted the summonses. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market were very moderate. Both for red and white qualities, the demand ruled inactive, yet no probable change took place in prices, compared with Monday. There was but a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the stands, Millers operated, however, to a limited extent in all descriptions, yet there were no sellers at lower prices. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full currencies. Good and fine malting barley sold steadily, at extreme rates. Other descriptions, however, met a slow sale, on former terms. Malt ruled steady at full prices. The supply of oats was tolerably large. Good and fine corn moved off steadily at late currencies, but heated par cels were a dull inquiry. _ _ Beans and peas were in fair average request, and the quotations ruled firm. The trade for flour was firm, and prices were well sup ported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

The noble earl was driving the Countess of Cawdor on a sledge, when the ice suddenly gave way at a considerable distance from the shore, and both were immersed in the water. Happily the catastrophe was observed by his lord ship's sons—both expert swimmers—his lordship's brother, the Hon. Henry Campbell, Sir Robert Brownrigg, and Mr. Dixon, his lordship's butler, to whom groat praise is due. The earl and countess were both in the water for some time, and when extricated her ladyship was in a state of insensibility. The latest accounts state that the earl and countess are recovering. LONDON STREETS—At the in stance of Professor Donaldson, who has been studying the street architecture of new Paris, a committm of eminent architects has been named to draft a petition to the Government, praying the Queen's advisers to consider the whole subject of London streets and communications, with a view to adopting a large and general plan of improvement. MR. HOLMAN HUNT is painting a picture repre senting the scene on London-bridge on the night of the illumination in honour of the arrival of the Princess of Wales. The work, which is not large, and will be exhi bited with other pictures of the artist, contains a host of motley incidents, *4., a sweep carrying his brushes on his shoulder, a volunteer protecting his sweetheart from contact with the brushes, a man complaining to a policeman of the loss of his watch, the official receiving the communication without surprise. The thief of the watch has jumped over the parapet of the bridge, and passed along the cornice beyond it, in hopes of escape, but has been noticed by a detective, who seizes the confederate of the thief, to whom the rascal thinks himself handing the watch, while he really deposits it in the detective's open hand. There are old women and men, won)" with tn babies, boys, girls, cabmen, soldiers, one or two foreignfer.,d other a ;he bridge and elements of such a crowd. Along the sides o range the flaming censors and tri p ods, the tall lamps o f Denmark and the d. au c t taller banners that flap s lowl y in t h e night breeze, na blematic groups of Raven.
