The Stock 11Iarketsaregenerally somewhat firmer than on Saturd IT, but with no additional business, except in Caledonian Railway stock, in which the report of the committee and the note from the direc tors have encouraged contending but speculative operations. In the first instance an advance of about 3 per cent. took place ; but subsequently this im provement was lost, and the market now appears to be uncertain in character. In other railways no average important change has taken place. Foreign Stocks are steady, and the English Funds firm with out any feature in the dealings. Consols are firm at au improvement of I at 94 to 92i for delivery, and 92/ to 92i for the 7th of February. New and Reduced Three per Cents., 92i to 92} ; India Five per Cents., 110/ to 111} ; Bank Stock, 239 to 241 ; Exchequer Bills, 255. to 28s. prem. The Foreign Market generally is steady, though several changes have taken place. Among them Brazilian has declined , the present quotation being 74f to 75i ; New Spanish Threes are I better, at 34f to 34f ; and Turkish are firmer, at 30f to 30j. United States' Securities are dull. The 5-20 Bonds are + lower. The quotation is 72 to 724. The Scrip and the Portuguese Loan is higher, being quoted at to 1 prem. The Discount Market is inactive with full supplies. Rates for the best bills are quoted at 11 per cent. The payment of the dividends, which commences on Wednesday, is, by anticipation, checking appli cations. The Corn Market is firm at an advance of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Railways opened with considerable firmness, but they are now rather weaker. The principal move ments have been in Caledonian and Midland stocks. The former advanced £3 on Saturday's quotations, but they afterwards relapsed, and the present price is 74 to 751, showing the advance to be 1 per cent. Great Northern Ordinary Stock is also 1 per cent. higher, Great Eastern }, and Midland 4. South Eastern, 67! to 68j. In Banking Shares there is no change, beyond an advance of per cent. in London and West minster. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, 21i to 22i ; Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have receded 1 to 18, 18i. The New Honduras Loan is to 1 prem. ex. Coupon. Henry Turnbull and Co. report that the better tone which prevailed in the Borough Hop Market on Friday last continues to-day, and prices are very firm. Continental advices report markets dearer generally, with a fair trade doing at the advance. Yearlings and old hops are without notice able change. CITY, Tivr..Lvx o'CLoci. No bullion operations were reported at the Bank of England on Saturday. It is stated that the Hungarian Railway Loan will be introduced in Paris on the 15th inst. The next biddings for Bills of Exchange on Calcutta. and Madras only will take place at the Bank of Eng land on the 15th inst., when £200,000 will be offered. In proof of the steadiness of the commercial interests of the United Kingdom, notwithstanding all the disasters of the past two years, it is remarked that there has rarely been an instance when fewer failures were recorded, either in the metropolis or provinces, at the end of a twelvemonth, than on the present occasion. The Dutch Indian Railway Company have an nounced the payment of the Coupon due on the 15th inst. on the Four-and-a-half per Cent. obligations issued by the company. The Spanish Credit Mobilier Company announces to the shareholders that the decline in the value of securities held exceeding the revenues from the capital, no dividend can be declared. The numbers are published of 264 bonds of the Brazilian Five per Cent. Loan of 1865, amounting to £36,600, which were drawn by lot on the Ist inst., and will be paid off at par on the Ist of March next. The traffic receipts o!' railways in the United Kingdom for the week ending Jan. 3, 1868, upon a mileage of 12,882, amounts to £698,027, being equal to .£54 4 per mile. For the corresponding week last year the leceipts were £668,314, the number of miles open, 12,497. A comparison for the two weeks shows an increase in the aggregate receipts of £29,713, and in the number of miles open of 385. BRITISH i - c l . TJNDS —TWO °limos. • UOVEL.NIVIEST FUNDS. 8 pas :Jew:.

All kinds were in request, at 2s to fully 3s per quarter more money. Barley and all other articles were held on higher terms. Oa the continent the corn trade has been very quiet of late. From America the shipments of produce to England have fallen off considerably. The imlorts into London last week were 17,910 quar ters of wheat, 1,150 barley, 51,856 oats, 500 beaus, 8 pease 1,742 tares, 7,814 linseed, 13,936 rapeseed, 2,787 maize, 5 sundries, 3,325 sacka and 2 817 barrels of flour. 'she supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was very limited. The trade was not to say active, yet, com p:trod. with Monday last, prices advanced Ss. to 4s. per quarter. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, in which about an average business was doing at 25 to 3d per quar ter more money. Floating cargoes of grain were hold on higher terms. Fine barley moved off freely at an improvement in value of is per quarter, whilst grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear as last week. Malt, the supply of which was good, was in fair request at full quotations. Although the show of oats was extensive, the oat trade was firm, at 6d per quarter above previous rates. Beans commanded full quotations, with a fair demand. Peas were is. per quarter higher than on this day se'nnight. Flour commanded more attention, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Seeds generally were a slow inquiry on former terms Cakes were steady in price. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Only a limited supply of foreign stock was on sale here, nevertheless the demand was in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. The atrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, but the quality of the sup ply was good. For most breeds there was a steady, but by no means active inquiry, at prices equal to Monday last. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 900 Scots and crosses; from Leicestershire, 700 shorthorns, dgc.; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; from Scotland, 298 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 200 cows, heifers, dzc. There was about an average supply of sheep in the pens for the time of year, and the general condition of the stock was prime. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money, compared with this day se'nnight. The best Downs and half-breds changed hands at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per Blbs.

EXAMINATION OF THE FENIAN CON- SrIRAT ORS. The examination of Timothy Desmond, William Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, N icholas English, and Ann Justice was resumed to-day before Sir Thomas Henry. Mr. Giffard, Q.C. appeared, on the part of the Crown, for the prosecution ; Mr. Harper appeared for the Desmonds, and Mr. Lewis for Justice. The precautions on the part of the police appeared to be redoubled to-day, as the constables in the passages of the court were more numerous, and those inside the court each carried a capped revolver in his hand. The first witness called was Mrs. Crawley, who said—On Friday, December 13, I was in Corporation-row, going in the direc tion of Woodbridge-street. As I was walking along I saw a large package on the pavement covered over with something. It appeared to be very close to the prison wall. I saw one man standing in front of the barrel, and two little boys close to the side of it. There were two men standing on the opposite side at the corner of the court. Sir T. Henry—What age were the boys? Witness—About ten and eleven. One of the two men standing at the corner of the court stepped forward and threw something across the street to the man who was standing in front of the barrel. One of the two little boys stooped down and picked something up, and the other said, " That belongs to the man." By that time I got close up to them, and I then heard one of the boys say, " That will do, master—that will do." By that time I had passed, and I then saw it was a barrel with a squib at the end of it alight. I ran past, and went on the opposite side of the way. I got about the distance of two houses, w hen I met the constable, and called his attention to the matter. Sir T. Henry—What constable was that ? Witness—l think his name is Moriarty. Ho made me no reply. Sir T. Henry—What did you say ? Witness-1 think they were letting off fireworks, and I said, pointing to the barrel, " What sort of a gun do you call that ?" The constable made no reply, but crossed over, and appeared to me to have nearly reached the barrel, when I saw the men ran away. Mr. Poland—The men standing near the barrel ? Witness—Yes. The policeman turned round. Sir T. Henry—How far was the constable from the man? Witness—He appeared to be about four yards. Sir T. Henry—When the man began to run ? Witness—Yes. Sir T. Henry—Do you think he would have ap prehended them? -he could if he had hurried Witness—l think himself. Mr. Poland—Where did he go ? Witness—He appeared to have only time to turn round when I heard a great noise. I felt a blow on my back, and I was then knocked down. I had got to No. 5 house ; the barrel was placed opposite No. 3. Sir T. Henry—What length of time was there between the time the man ran away and the ex- '325 210 2,330 450 4,030 1,715 plosion ? Witness—Almost the same moment. Sir T. Henry—The policeman never quite reached the barrel ? Witness —No. Sir T. Henry—Did you see w hat became of the men Witness—No. When the explosion occurred my bonnet was torn off my head, my watch was blown from the chain, and my clothes all destroyed. The men at the corner of the street were dressed in dark clothes and tall black hats. The one that stood in front of the barrel wore a brown coat. Sir T. Henry—Do you recognise any of the prisoners ? Witness—The first one (Allen) seems to me to be the man who threw something across the street. The man who did it was about his size. Sir T. Henry—Do you think if, when you said to the constable " what sort of a game do you call that ?" he could have caught the men if he had ran at that moment ? Witness-- Yes. Sir T. Henry—Then what do you think prevented his doing so. Witness—He walked his usual pace. Sir T. Henry—Then it was his not running ? Witness—Yes. Sir T. Henry Could he see the squib from where you were talking to him ? Witness—No. Sir T. Henry--Had you mentioned the word it fireworks" to him ? Witness—No. I had not the opportunity. Sir T. Henry—Have you not seen all the boys in the hospital ? Witness—No. Sr T. Henry—l think you ought to have seen them, you might have recognised some of them ? Witness—l don't think I could. Sir T. Henry—You had better go to the hospital and see the boys ? Cross-examined by Mr. Harper-4 saw the three men distinctly, but I could not distinguish the features of either. The barrel was against the wall when I passed it. I only recognise Allen from his size and general appearance. I never suspected anything wrong was going on. Sir T. Henry—Allen, if you wish to ask the wit ness any question, as you have no solicitor, you can do so. Allen—l've no question to ask. John Davis—l reside at 48, King's-cross-road, and am an engineer. I was engaged at work at No. 7, Corporation-lane, on the 13th of December, opposite Mr. Terry's. I had been there all the afternoon, but between three and four my attention was directed to the matter through a conver sation going on between a policeman and the milkman. I heard the milkman tell the policeman something, and then I looked down Corporation lane. I saw a barrel there with three little boys on one side and a man of gentlemanly appearance on the other. I saw the man stooping down to the barrel, but I cannot say what he was doing. I did not notice either the man or the barrel until I heard the milkman talking to the constable. After this I saw the policeman walk into the middle of the road, then he came on to the pavement on the same side of the way that I was. He then walked directly in a straight line over to the barrel. I saw some thing like a squib coming out of the barrel when the policeman got pretty close it. It was alight. The man then gave a hasty look at the barrel and then ran away towards St. James's- passage. Mr. Giffard—Could you recognise the mau ? Witness—No, I could not. I never saw his face. Mr. Giffard—What did the policeman do when he saw the cask ? Witness—Why he ran back, and the explosion occurred in about a minute after. Sir T. Henry—Do you know what became of the three little boys ? Witness—They all ran away at the same time the man did. Thomas Francis Young--I now reside in Arling ton-street.

This witness then repe:tted the evidence he gave at the inquest with respect to the calamity. It will be recollected that it was to the effect that he was standing at the door of the house No. 3, Corporation-lane, justbefore the explosion occurred, and that he saw the man strike a match and put it to the head of the barrel. He also saw previous to this a man throw a box of Moiler matches across the road to the man standing near the barrel. After Ihe match was applied to the squib in the barrel both men ran away up St. Jante , ;'s-place. Mr. Giffard—How near was the policeman to the barrel when the man stooped' down to pick up the lucifers ? Witness—About five or six yards. Mr. Poland—Wnat wa3 the policeman doing be tween the time of striking the first match, which you say went out, and the Second one, with which the man lit the squib ? Winvss —He was walking towards the barrel. Mr. Poland— When the inch ran .up• the co in what did the policeman do ? u —b r r i \i f ld e , d round and ran Ilr r i towards Witness—'Turned 0 6 1 3 1 1 Tr t o n o ' d i Ll ' the other way, Woodbridge -street. explosion take place?

Johnny Abbott, when I came to, I found clinging round my neck. blown off. 1 got up as soon I could,ly thumb w andthen a found the whole of the house had been destroyed, and I afterwards got my wife and sister out of the ruins. They are now lying in a very dangerous state in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I afterwards got Minnie Abbott out of the ruins quite dead. Mr. Poland—Look at the prisoners ; do you re cognise any of them ? Witness—Yes, the first and third (Timothy Des mond and Allen). Mr. Poland—Where did you see Timothy Des mond on the day of the explosion? Witness —In St. James's-walk, between 112 and 1 o'clock. He was walking up and down. Mr. Poland—When did you first see Allen ? Witness—At the corner of Rosoman-street and Bowling-green-lane, that same day, and soon after 1. had seen the other. He ran against me as I was leaving the publichouse I had been into to have a little ale. The end prisoner (William Desmond) is something like the man who stood at the barrel, but he had a different coloured coat on then, and wore a black silk hat. He appeared also a little stouter than that man. By Mr. Harper—l did not see the barrel brought. The constable was close by me when the matches were thrown, but be could not see that as he was going in the opposite direction. The policeman was not near when the squib was lit. He was be tween me and the man. He could have prevented the explosion, and so could I if I had thought it had been filled with gunpowder, but I've no doubt had I done so the man was armed to defend the barrel. I did not see the man who lit the squib, but I did see the full face of the one that threw the lucifers. The man who lit the barrel was somewhat slimmer than the prisoner Desmond. Mr. Giffard —What is your belief as to his being the man? Witness—l should not like to swear to him. Sir T. Henry—Yon are not asked to do so. Have you any belief on the matter? Witness—Well, I am almost led to think he is the man, and then again I don't think he is. Sir 'U. Henry—Did you see the man long enough o form a belief about his being the man?

This was the clay previous to the explosion. The barrel seemed to me to be put exactly opposite the house No. 3, Corporation-lane. Mr. Giffard—Do you see any of the men you speak of ?

Witness—No, sir ; he had on a light brown over coat and a tall hat. Charles Mosely, aged 10, said—l am now a patient in St. Bartholomew's hospital. I used to live at No. 2, Corporation-lane with my father. I recollect the day of the explosion. I was playing about the lane with another boy called " \Valley." It was between 11 and 12. I saw a man tip up a truck and put a barrel into it. the truck was near the prison wall. After the barrel had been put on the pavement for some time it was replaced, and it and the truck were taken away. I did not see where. Thera were two men with the truck. I was in a court at the top of Rosomon street playing when I saw this. I'he barrel looked like a parrafin barrel. I went to look at the barrel and touched it, but I did not see the men at that moin,.:nt. On that day I did not go to school. I stayed at home to mind my sister's baby. Mother had taken the baby from me for a short time, when I went into the court, at the corner of which our house stood. There were some other boys playing there. Thoir names aro Frank Taylor, Jack Gillies, and \Valley. I went up to St. James's-buildings,and then having played for about an hour I saw three men at the corner of the court at Corporation-lane, and one of them threw some thing over the prison wall ; it looked like a box of matches. It was white, like a round ball. These three men then ran up the court, and . went round the corner towards Rosornon-street, and then they walked down again. I then said to Jack Gillie, " I shall go and see the prisoners walk round," and then I went upstairs, entering the house by the back gate. I went into the second floor front room, and looked out of the window, but I did not see the prisoners being exer cised. I had seen them exercised there before. When I looked down I then saw the barrel. The man crossed over from the court before he put ▪ the squib to the barrel. I saw two other men standing about whilst he was doing it. These were the three men I have already spoken of. The police , man Was very near our house when the man lit the • squib. The explosion tcok place, and then I was knocked backwards as I was looking out of the window.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.—The Minister of the Interior has ordered that residence in Russia shall not be permitted to foreigners without exchanging a foreign passport against a Russian one.

A case of some importance in the list was a charge against Mr. Robert Waters, who was during a long period steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury. The allegation stated that Mr. Waters had embez zled large sums of money belonging to the Earl, br,t through proceedings in Chancery the trial 'dad been postponed until this session. There curs also a charge of bigamy against Sir Culling Eardley, several charges of robbery, with assaults, &c., and one charge of intimidation of witne-ses. They (the grand jury) would have the bills placed before . _ them, and he trusted would send them some true ones down as speedily as possible. He then dis missed them to their-duties. The Grand Jury found true bills in 10 cases of uttering counterfeit coin, and most of the prisoners pleaded guilty. CRYSTAL PALACE. The special holiday attraction at the Crystal Pa lace—for as to pantomime it is no longer a novelty there, but holds regular possession of the stage in the transept every Christmas—is the " zoetrope," or " wheel of life." This optical toy is everywhere ya. •• ,••••••••• _ fashionable just now. The London Stereoscopic Company cannot keep pace with the demand which has sprung up within a few weeks ; and piratical traders hawk about the city streets a curiously im practicable supply of materials, together with a book of instructions, for making the instrument at home. The zoetrope belongs to a class of simple inventions which exemplify the fact that the reflections of images linger for a moment or two upon the retina when the images themselves have passed from the orbit of sight. That delightful humourist and true philosopher, the " Autocrat of the Breakfast table," has commended the zoetrope on the ground of its utility in thus illustrating and enforcing a scientific truth ; but it should be noted that the practical demonstration of this truth is not entirely due to the particular form cf apparatus now so popular. In the boyhood of mon who are grey, there were toys the principle of which was the same ; and in the gallery of the Polytechnic Insti tution something resembling the " wheel of life," something at the same time as old as the diving bell and the electric batteries may yet be seen. A. simpler application of the principle that objects don't disappear the instant they aro " out of sight" used to be made by schoolboys in the manner following :—On one side of a circular piece of cardboard, a little to the right of the centre, would be pictured, say a timid little mouse ; and on the other side, to the left of the centre, there would be the counterfeit of a fero cious tabby. By attaching two small pieces of silk to the cardboard disc, at opposite ends of a sup posed equator, a spinning motion may easily be attained ; and, as the pictures on the two sides are twirled rapidly round, they appear to be one. The subjects may, of course, be endlessly varied, care only being taken that either half of the complete group shall be so placed on the card that it will come properly into relationship with its fellow. A. stream of water, with a boat or a swan float ing on it, will, for examp!e, • serve as the com plementary obverse to a bridge ; a wig to a hair less mask ; a circus-rider to a bare-backed sted ; a bird to a birdcage ; a railway train to a viaduct ; a pair of horses to a carriage ; a swordsman to his. opponent with pike or bayonet ; and so on, without limit to the combina tions. But the. instrument known_ as the " zoe trope," or " wheel of life," is an improvement on everything of the kind that has preceded it ; and there is a remarkable and specific difference between it and the contrivance we have just described. In the one instance, a fixed and motionless picture was attained by bringing its two separate halves into seeming conjunction ; but in the case of the zoetropo the pictures appar to be animated. A grotesque face rolls its goggle-eyes and silently gnashes its two great rows of teeth ; or an acrobat vaults and turns somersaults through hoops ; or a little gen tleman trots nimbly along with raised umbrella be neath a never-ending, still-beginning shower of pitch-forks ;or a spider-like personage, lying on his back, jerks with his feet a huge ball to another spider-like personage, who, catching it on the soles of his feet, passes it on, along a spider-like and in verted row. At the Crystal Palace, the instrument which the London Stereoscopic Company has brought into fashion is shown on a magnified ;tale. It is, in all respects but size, the same " wheel of life" that you may place in the middle of your drawing-rOom table, and set aspinning for the diversion of the youngsters ; but, instead of its being turned by the light touch of a hand, it is kept in motion by a Hugon gas-engine. The ordinary diameter of a zoetrope is about 12 inches ; and the big .brother of the popular toy measures 16 feet across. The little figures become, in proportion to the general scale, pretty large figures ; and the effect is very striking for a time ; but after one or two changes of scene the eye begins to miss the strangeness of magnitude; and it is but fair to say that the instrument, in its original and do mestically convenient size, answers all the pur poses of amusement. As manufactured and sold by the Stereoscopic Company, it is one of the most fertile sources of entertainment ever devised ; for, properly lighted, it may be seen by a whole room-full of company without crowding or any kind of trouble. For the giant zoetrope, in the concert room of the Crystal Palace, a spacious gallery of seats, capable of accommodating 400 spectators, has been erected. The exhibition is accompanie Iby music and by an explanatory lecture. The programme of Christmas amsements is con tinued from day to day with increased success. The Arabs pile themselves into pyramids and walls, and the pantomime of " Little Red Riding Hood," well supported as it is by the talent of nimble grotesques, retains some of the grace and simplicity of its ori ginal nursery p er ' fw , its merit in this respect being due to the charming quaintness of Miss Alice Dodd, who personifies the heroine, and who brings to her task a bright good-humoured intelligence that might win, as comedy, the praise, which is seldom deserved by burlesque. TO the indoor pleasures of the Crystal Palace, Jack FA.ost, who has of late been defied by the ingenious inventor of wheel-skates, obligingly offered the counter attrac tion of a fine, smooth floor of ice in the lower grounds ; and skating Without wheels was prac tised on Saturday by a company at once numerous and select. The fact that payment or the presen tation of a season ticket is needful to gain access to the frozen lake in the Crystal Palace pleasure grounds has of course considerable influence on the general character of the assembly, which is not so miscellaneous as in the parks and other places of open resort. Ladies are less diffident in venturing among the devotees of a health ing pastime ; and of the prominently noticeable skaters on Satur day several were of the gentler sex. Throughout the day the mercury column in the open air was below freezing point; while the interior of the Palace was kept, by means of 40 miles of hot water pipes under the flooring, at a pleasant temperature of 45 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The entrances during the day were 4,506, admisAan by season tickets being 3,533, and by half-drown pay manta 1,013. ided poll -On ncess :ss of ham- ncess ;ceipt I pro nica- sit of ed to )ther Lhere ice of ❑nec 3oyal Ligh rietta DII at erene no to and ig a ing," ;, the t the [lack a less corn- coal ught knee Ltter, 100 100 100 all 10u 100 IVk i IE3 104 I 106 toot 971
