310:. , ii , 41 MARKET AND COMMERCIAL I.NTELLIGE &CA, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The checks received by the stock markets at the close of last week continue. Busiaess at the open ing was limited, and it has not since been aug mented. The funds are a point higher, with the demand for small investments, but there is not the activity which was so conspicuous a few days ago. The foreign Stock Market keeps steady, and in one or two instances a further improvement has taken place. It is probable that the Hungarian, French, and Turkish Loans prevent a sufficient re sponse to the much more favourable state of Con tinental politics. The better classes of securities, viz., the Guaranteed and Preference Bonds and Shares, still meet with ready demand, but ordinary stocks move slowly. There is no change to report in the Discount Market. The supply is very large, and the demand quiet. The minimum rate for the best short-dated paper is 18 per cent. The Corn Market is steady at Monday's prices, Consols are firm, at an improvement of 1-16th, being quoted at 92- to 924 for money and ac count.

New Spanish, 35 to 35; ; Italian, 42k to 42 3 } ; Turkish, 304- to 30i ; and Egyptian Railway Loan, 91} to 92i. Tile New Honduras Loan is steady at / to 1 prem., ex coupon. In American Securities, United States 5-20 Bonds are steady at 712 to 722 ; Erie Railway 1 better, at 481 to 491 ; and Illinois 85 to 86. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have risen 11, to 241 251 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 25 251. There is no feature in the Railway Market, and but little business. There is a fall of lin Midland, at 1031 to 104, in Brighton at 461 to 46i, and in Sheffield at 44 to 444 ; and of 2 in South Eastern, at 674 to 68, and in Lancashire and Yorkshire at 1234 to 24. On the other hand, there is an improvement of 2 in Great Northern, at 1061 to 1071 ; of.- in Great Western, at 464 to 47; and of kin Metropolitan, at 1161 to 117}; Lon don and North-Western, 115 to 1154 ; Great Northern A, 108 to 109; Great Eastern, 294 to 294 ; Caledonian, 744 to 744 ; North British, 34 to 341 ; and Chatham, 18 to 181.

The gold return for the month of November of the Don Pedro North del Rey amounts to 12,290 oitavas, and the profits to £3,267 10s. 7d. The accounts of the Anglo-Braziilan Gold Com pany show a loss on the workings of £4BO 13s. CITY, TWELVE O!CLOCK. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England on Saturday. The Kent has arrived from Melbourne with £ 1 30,000 in specie, and the Cuba with £5,400 from Loston. The Ceylon takes £36,615 in specie for the East, of Which £36,000 is gold for Alexandria. A. special general meeting of the Caledonian Rail- W ay Company has been called for the 31st inst., for the purpose of confirming the heads of the agreement entered into with this Company and the North British railway.

The main trade is at this moment somewhat unsettled, but there is a tendency in some quarters to recovery from the recent decline. The accounts to hand from the provinces this morning quote rather firmer prices for prime dry wheat, but the indifferent condition of many of the samples from the wet weather has given prices in several instances a lower range by is to 2s per qr. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was mode rate, and the demand generally was quiet. English wheat was in limited supply, and variable in quality, which gave an irregularity to prices. For fine, dry samples firm rates were paid, whilst secondary and damp sorts sold cheaply. Foreign wheat was generally well held, and the rates fixed were generally about the same as on Monday last. Flour met a quiet sale, purchases of both English and foreign being made only for immediate requirements. Malt sold slowly, at about late rates. Barley was 'held for late rates, at which purchases were made sparingly. _ Beans and Peas in limited demand only. Oats a slow sale, at steady rates. BOROUGH HOP. Messrs. Henry Turnbull and Co. report the market firmer for choice qualities of new English hops, for which there is an improved demand at full rates. For medium qualides the demand is moderate, but year lings and old hops are neglected. On the Continent the trade is steady. The quantity of real Bavarians offering is limited. Fine Belgians are wanted. METROPOLITAN. There was a moderato supply of stock at market this morning, and the trade was dull. Of beasts there were 2,068 English, 46 Scotch, 250 Irish, and 580 foreign. The demand for beef was dull, and prices ruled droop ing. Of sheep the supply included 960 foreign. The trade was dull and prices unchanged. Of calves 10 came to hand from abroad. Sales pro gressed slowly at late rates. Pork met a dull demand at quotations. Total at market : —Beasts, 3,360; sheep, 13,420; calves, 11 ; pigs, 290.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 20.—Tha market opens firmly. Hol ders have an advance. Sales probably 12,000 or 15,000 bodes. DARING BURGLARIES IN HULL. —On Friday, a house in Salt house-lane, occupied by Mr. George Burrell,keel master, was entered, and valuables to a considerable amount were stolen. The house was completely ran sacked, and a watch and guard were taken from under Mr. Burrell's pillow while he was asleep. One night last week, a woman, named Lynch, residing in Edgar street, had a desperate struggle with a burglar, who was in the act of ransacking her room, when she awoke. The thief first beat a retreat, but she fol lowed him, and a struggle ensued at the door. The woman, though she was very roughly handled, detained the fellow until some neighbours arrived ; he got off, but not until he had been identified as an Irisman named Cain. He is now in custody. A CHILD BLEEDING TO DEATH. —On Saturday an Inquest was held at Trefonnen, near Oswestry, on the body of Walter Sides, a child of nine, who had wounded himself with th e bl a d e o f a k n if e , and had bled to death. On market day the mother went to Oswestry, leaving the deceased in charge of three other children younger than himself. When she returned later in the day she found the deceased's rlead body lying in a pool of blood against the door. His brother said that he (the deceased) was hammering a knife blade against the wall, when the blade slipped and entered his body. An artery was severed, and death must have !ensued in a few minutes. A verdict of Acci dental death was returned. THE POWDER MAGAZINE AT WHITErrAVEN. —A summons has been issued against Mr. John Collins, secretary to the Whitehaven Town and Harbour Trustees, for having a quantity of powder stored in a powder magazine, contrary to law. An application has been made to the magistrates that the case should stand adjourned, in order to give the trustees time to look into it. If the trustees found it inexpedient to keep powder there they would, as a matter of ex pediency, order its removal, but still they did not wish to be compelled by law to do so. In the event of a conviction the penalty would amount to some thousands of pounds, and the powder would be for feited. The magistrates decided to adjourn the case for a fortnight. They hoped that the trustees would take every precaution to guard the powder. The quantity of powder at present stored in the magazine is somewhere about 11 tons 13 cwt. STREET OUTRAGE. — G A gentleman residing in Bloomsbury reports an audacious case of highway robbery. He says :—" I was walking down Endell street yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, with my son, who is blind, and when passing Short's-gardens a man pounced upon my son, and tore his watch (a gold re peater) and albert chain from his pocket and doubled round us and ran down Short's-gardens. I followed, calling out 'Police !' and 'Stop thief !' and although there, were several rough fellows standing about who might have caught the scoundrel with the greatest ease, as he ran close past them, not one raised his voice or put out his hand to stop him, and he got clear off with his booty ; and when I looked for a policeman there was not one to be found. I was con soled, however, by my friends saying it was fortunate I did not attempt to follow the thief through the maze of the gardens, as had I done so I should most proba bly have been knocked on the head, in addition to losing the watch and chain." MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A CLERGYMAN.— No further trace has yet been discovered of the Rev. B. Speke, of Dowlish, brother of the late Captain Speke, the African explorer. He left Ihninster sta tion for London, on Wednesday week for the purpose of officiating at the wedding of a friend. As lie never put in an appearance there the telegraph was called into requisition, and eventually the metropolitan de tectives were set to work. They discovered that about 5.30, on the Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Speke pur chased a hat in Warwick-street, but with his exit from the hatter's shop all trace of the missing gentleman is lost. Advertisements in the London papers, offering £lOO reward, have elicited no response. Mr. Speke is about thirty-five years of age, of athletic build, and well acquainted with London. He had some £2O in his possession. Mr. W. Speke, the missing clergy man's brother, and the eldest son of the respected Squire of Jordans, is in London assisting in the search, ' which it is yet hoped may be successful. It is re ported that the police in the course of their investiga tions have unearthed another person who had been not Ot for some time,—Enter 6-inette.

THE BREECH -LOADING ARMOURY COMPANY.—The ques tion raised in this case was the right of a person settled on the list of contributories to have the amount due to him front the company set off against the wills made upon him prior to the winding -up proceedings. Mr. Calisher was the manage't of the Breech-loading Armoury Company, in respect of which position certain moneys were owing him. On his behalf it was argued that, both on the ground of the general law of set-off, and on the ground of a special contract entered into between himself and the company, he was entitled to be relieved of his calls, to the extent to which he was a creditor of the company.—The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment, ruled that the powers given to the court under the Companies Act of 1862, by which debts due to a contributor might be treated as a se: - off against his calls, applied only to companies not limited. With limited companies the direction was clear that no individual creditor Gould be paid his debt until all the claims of the joint creditors had been satisfied. As to the special contract which it was alleged the company had made with Mr. Calisher, Lord Romilly found no suffi cient evidence of its existence, and doubted if it were com petent to the company to enter into any such agreement. lie therefore ordered the calls to be paid, with interest, by the Ist of March, the money to be carried to a separate account, and not to. be paid out without notice to Mr. Calisher. THE CLERKENWELL OUTRAGE. EXAMINATION OF THE CONSPIRATORS —THE CHARGE AGAINST CLANCY. BOW-STREET—THIS DAY. The arrest of another person on Saturday last under very suspicious circumstances led to the re vival of the interest in the examination of the pri soners charged with wilful murder. Previous to the examination of those prisoners it was arranged that this prisoner should be charged. He was brought into court strongly guarded. He is a man appa rently about 28 years of age, of dark complexion, and rather shabbily dressed. His head was bound up with a broad linen bandage. Mr. Burnaby—ls your name John Patrick Clancy ? Prisoner—yes. Mr. Burnaby—The prisoner is charged with wilfully shooting at two police-constables, named John Chown and William Chamberlain of the E division, - with intent to murder them. Mr. Poland said he had been directed by the Treasury to prosecute the prisoner with intent to murder the two constables. The prisoner was a deserter from the Royal Eugin lers,and from certai❑ circumstances it had been thought necessary to watch the prisoner's home, and when his arrest was attempted on Saturday night he made a violent re sistance, and discharged the pistol twice at the officers. John Chown said—l am a police-sergeant, No. 5 E division. On Saturday night I and Chamber lain went to No. 26, Sidmouth-street, Gray's-inn road. I went there about Bin the morning. I had ascertained that the prisoner Patrick James Clancy was lodging there. I and the other officer were in plain clothes. We watched the house until 7 o'clock in the evening, when the prisoner came out. We followed him to Tottenham-court-road, and from there to the corner of Bedford -street. When we got there I spoke to him, and said " Is your name Clancy ?" to which he replied " I don't know you." I asked him again whether his name - was Clancy, when he said, " No, my name is Reed ;" and he said he lived at Great College-street, Camden Town. I asked him if he had just left there, and he said " Yes." I told him I should take him into custody for being a deserter from the Royal Engineers. The moment I said the word the pri soner, with the stick or umbrella he had with him, tripped me up and threw me on my back. I saw the constable Chamberlain pursue the prisoner, who was then running away along Bedford-street to' Bedford-square. When I got to the corner of the square the prisoner turned to the right and con tinued running. I called oat" stop thief," when the prisoner turned round, and then I heard something whiz by my right ear like a bullet, and then saw a flash and heard the report of fire-arms. Chamber lain was on my left, about six yards from me. I saw the prisoner's face when I saw the flash. Ile was about 20 yards from me when he fired. I saw he had a revolver in his hand. Prisoner faced round to the right when he fired, and he held the re volver point blank at me. The prisoner, after he had fired once, turned round and commenced running again towards Charlotte-street, I and Chamberlain continuing to pursue him. After running about 15 yards further I saw prisoner turn round to the left and discharge a barrel at Cham berlain, who was then about 12 yards off him. I this time saw the pistol plainly in his hand, as I had gained ground on him. I saw Chamberlain stagger against the rails, but I still pursued, crying " Stop, thief." Chamberlain, however, re-commenced running, when he (Chamberlain) got up to the prisoner within about five yards, when a man stopped the prisoner, and then Chamberlain got up and threw him on his back on the pavement. This was about the centre of the pavement, on the north side of the square. When prisoner was tripped up he had this revolver in his hand. I produce the pistol, a six-barrel revolver. When we were on the ground I heard a report, and saw the flash. When I got up from the ground, to which I had fallen in the struggle, I found Chamberlain had wren ched the pistol from his hand, and he then struck the pri soner with the butt end of it on the head. There was a strong smell of powder, and Chamberlain's faco was blackened by the explosions from the pistol. We kept the pri soner on the ground until we got the assistance of some special constables. Soon after this prisoner was conveyed to the George-street Station. Just as we were going off with the prisoner one of the bystanders said "You rascal, did you intend to shoot me ?" to which prisoner said, with a nod of the head, "I did not mean to shoot you, it was this man (Chamberlain) I meant." As we were going down Charlotte -street prisoner said, " Are you two policemen ?" I said, " Yes," and he then said, " I think I've had a very good battle, and fought a fair duel, and I'm only sorry I've not got payment for it." I and Chamberlain then took him to the station. When we arrived there Chamberlain handed the pistol to Superintendent Searle. The pistol is now precisely in the same condition that it was when taken from the prisoner. I found that three chambers of the pistol had been discharge], and that a bullet had become fixed between the barrel and the pin. Sir Thomas Henry—Then the pistol is yet still loaded ? Witness—yes, sir ; at least three barrels of it. Mr. Poland—When you got to the station, did the prisoner give his name ? Witness—y es ;he said James Clancy, no settled home, reporter ; and he afterwards gave his address at 26, Si I month-street. On Sunday morning Superintendent Searle and Inspector Garford and myself went there. When we got there we saw the prisoner's sister opening the door with a key. We wont into a front room on the first floor, and there found a female, whom I was told was the prisoner's mother, and in the back room a man was asleep, who was said to be the prisoner's father. A search was made of the place. A drawer was found locked in the front room. I opened it with a key taken from the prisoner at the station. Inspector Searle made the search of that room, but in the kitchen I found two six -chamber revolvers, unloaded, a great quantity of bullets, two bullet-moulds, and a canis ter of powder. The person, who I believe is the prisoner's mother, and brother were present when I found the articles I have mentioned. Cross-examined by the prisoner —I first saw you come from the house I have mentioned. lam quite sure you had a stick or umbrella in your hand. Chamberlain was with me at the time. When I first spoke to you in Tottenham-court-road I told you we were police officers, and that we should take you into custody for desertion. If I have omitted that in my first examination it is by pure accident. I distinctly state that I mentioned the words Royal Engineers when I took you in custody. Before you fired the first time you turned suddenly round, took aim, fired, and then ran away. Three shots were fired. Sir T. Henry—Yes, there are three chambers of the pistol still loaded, one bullet remains fixed be tween the barrels and the pin, so that providentially only two bullets actually left the pistol. Cross-examined—l and Chamberlain were the only persons near when you fired the first two shots. When the third shot was fired you were on the ground, and there were other persons standing by. The coachman, whose hand was blackened by the powder, was there. William Chamberlain, 163 E, said—l was with Chown on Saturday morning watching 26, Sid mouth-street, Gray's-inn-road. In the evening 1 saw the prisoner come out of the house. I and Chown followed him to Tottenham-court-road. The prisoner carried a stick in his hand. At the corner of Bedford-street Chown asked the prisoner if his name was Clancy ; to which he replied, " I don't know you." Chown asked the prisoner where lie lived, but, the prisoner making no reply, the constable repeated the question, when the prisoner said, " Reed ; and I live in Great College-street, Camden-town, and I have come from there along the Gray's-inn-road." Chown said, " I shall take you into custody for being a deserter." 1 believe he said, " From the Sappers." I then saw the prisoner place his stick between Chown's legs, he then tripped him up, and then set off running. Two gentlemen stood accidentally in my way, so th a t 1 had not the opportunity of seizing the prisoner at BRITISH. fl./SSESSIONS. lou A.tlantio St.Lawrenoe all 53 65 6 I liom.,Baroda, Cen.ln. 100 IC4 1 0 5 1021 ' gu. 6 per cent.. . 20 Do. le shares lO I) 204 Seal° & Lake Huron all 3 4 4 10 Do.

Q 36.16. C, COMMON LAW. THE HEREFORD CATHEDRAL DISPUTE.—The rule ob tained some time since calling on the Dean and Chapter of Hereford to shew cause why they refused to install Dr. Waring to the office of one of the residentiary canons of the cathedral of Hereford, vacant by the death of the late Dr. Huntingford, and to which Dr. Jebb,. one of the prebendaries and prelector, laid claim, by nature of his office, was argued in the Queen's Bench. It appeared that by Acts 3 and 4 of Vict. cap. 113, the power of appointing residentiary canons was to rest in the bishop of a diocese, when the rights of those who were entitled to the appointment were satisfied, And no person in the cathedral was entitled cx o f ficio to any vacancy that occurred. Dr. Jebb conten•led that at the time of the passing of the Acts in question he was a member of the chapter, and as such was entitled to fill. the vacancy.—This was denied, and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., on the part of the defendants, showed cause against the rule being made absolute. The learned counsel, in the course of his arguments, said that the only parties who were interested in the dispute were Dr. Waring and Dr. Jebb, and that his clients were only desirous of doing justice ; and as Dr. Jebb was willing to place himself in their position as defendant, they had no objection to his doing so, on his indemnifying them from any cost's that might be incurred. The court decided that the rule should be made absolute, and that a mandamus should issue to the dean and chapter to instal Dr. Waring, and when it came on for argument Dr. Jebb would have an opportunity of defending his case. It was necessary that he should in- demnify the dean and chapter, and the amount of indem nity could be settled by the Master. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. (Before the Right Hon. Sir R. PHILLIMORE.) His lordship resumed the sittings in the Admiralty Court this morning, and was engaged during the day in a salvage case—the Sparkling Dew—in which a claim was made on the part of the steam-tug Cruiser for services rendered off Liverpool in October last, by which, it was alleged, property to nearly £5,000 had been saved. The court was assisted by two of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, and the question is as to the amount to be awarded. MAI YLEI3ONE. SETTING FIRE TO A WlFE. — Frederick Hanlon, a miner was charged with being drunk and disorderly.—Frederick 111 ills, 39 D, said about half-past nine on Saturday night he was called to 23, Walmer-place, where the prisoner resided. He (witness) went into his room, and found his wife's dress on fire. With the assistance of two other constables, she was thrown► down and the fire extinguished. The wife said he had set fire to her. They were both drunk at the time. Witness went away, and in about half an hour afterwards was fetched again, and saw a crowd of about 200 persons and the prisoner shouting. He took him into custody, and two constables had to carry him to the station-house. — Prisoner said it was the clothes on the line which were set fire to. He had had some drink with some friends, and could not account for what occurred.—Mills said the wife's dress was in flames, and not the clothes on the line. Underneath the grate there were the remains of a beautiful black silk dress.—Mr. I)'Eyncourt said the prisoner must pay a fine of 155., or go to prison for ten days. CLERKENWELL. A DANGEROUS SELF-STYLED FENIAN.—A low, ruffianly. looking fellow, named Samuel Tattitn, who described him self as a hammerman, was charged before Mr. Cooke with being drunk and assaulting P.C. Henry Jones, 202 G, and and Abel Hibbert, 171 G.—lt appeared that about a quarter-past twelve on Sunday morning, whilst P.O. Henry Jones was on duty in St. John-street, Clerkenwell, the prisoner came up to him and said, " I'm a Fenian," and immediately struck him a violent blow on the mouth, which he followed up by again striking him on the face and knocking him down, when he seized him. They struggled together, and he kicked the officer whilst he was down, and also P.C. Abel Hilbert, who went to his assistance, and was also assaulted. The prisoner then became so outrageously violent that it re quired the aid of six policemen to strap him on the stretcher and convey him to the police-station. During the whole of the struggle he was endeavouring to kick and strike the officers. He had been drinking, but was not drunk. The prisoner said he recollected nothing of the matter, as he was subject to fits. lie was on the ground when the officer came up.--Mr. Cooke sentenced him to twenty-one days with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BOY SENTENCED TO BE WHIPPED. —Morgan Eastland and John Joyce, the former 14 years of age and the latter 12, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing 3oree cigars, the property of Mr. George Gibbs, tobaccie.:.,t, of No. 32, Wardour-street, Soho.—The prosecutor, while having dinner on the previous afternoon, saw Joyce's head above the counter, and on his sister going into the shop to see what he wanted, he said, "To know the time." As soon as Joyce left the shop, the prosecutor missed some cigars, and ran down a court, and saw the prisoners and some other boys divid. ing cigars between them, and he secured Eastland with a cigar in his band, and gave him into custody.—Binstead Webb, 112 C, said that at the station be found a pack of cards, a tobacco-box, a pipe, and some fusees on Eastland. lie subsequently took Joyce into custody, when his uncle gave him a v ery b a d character and it was only a wee k ago Ins hand was found in a till ; but he was not prosecuted. —Eastland's father gave him a good character, but said he was afraid he had got into bad company.—Mr. Mansfield ordered Joyce to be imprisoned for three days, and to re ceive ten cuts of a birch rod ; and he gave Eastland over to his father, with a recommendation that he should be well looked after, A TRAVELLER CHARGED WITH L 7 MBEZZLEMENT.—Francis Deakin, a commercial traveller, was brought up at the Mansion House, on several charges of embezzlement. The prisoner was a travell er i n t h e emp l oyment o f M essrs . Jones, Lloyd, and Co., tea grocers, Little Tower-street. and was in receipt of a guaranteed salary of £4OO a year. It was stated that there were numerous charges to be pre. ferred against him, but only one case of embezzling a sum of £7B was gone into, and the prisoner was then remanded till Saturday. • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—The January Sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced at Clerkenufell this day, before Mr. Payne, deputy assista!it judge. The calendar contained•the names of Si Prisoners committed for trial, the whole, with four exceptidns, being indicted for felony. The offences with- which the prisoners are charged consist of robberies in dwelling-houses h indecent assaults, robberies from the person, attempting to break an d enter dwelling houses, robbery • from the London and North-Western Railway Company, assaults with violence, corruptly receiving money for the restoration of a stolen dog, embez zlement, breaking and entering dwelling-houses, street assaults, and many other offences. SYSTEBIATIC ROBBERY OF SILVER PLATE. —Henry Stur gess, a working silversmith, was placed at the bar of the Guildhall, on remand, charged with robbing Messrs. Hol land and Son, manufacturing silversmiths, of 16, Jewry crescent, his masters. The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutors for four or five years and for nearly the last two years he had been robbing d iem. I t was their custom to give out work to their workmen to finish, man to Debenham and n ent so receiving it put his( n and the h maruPn the t i‘loisr. ro. k, the e k 7 ° ' Stores sale, and there recognised ei g ht een un fi n i s h e d silver spoons which bore his mark. 7th n dinst.also bore Hollandr them mark of the p rosecu t ors . He purchased them, and then found they were the same that had been given to the prisoner to finish about eighteen months ago, and had not been returned. On making inquiry of the pawn broker, it was found that they were pawned by the prisoner's wife in June 1866. The prisoner was given into custody, and further inquiry was made of pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood, when many pledges were discovered. All the plate was marked with the prisoner's mark, and pledged by his wife.—The prisoner ad m itt e d taking the plate, but stated that lie did not do so with the intention of stealing it.—lf e was committed for trial. At the Thames Police-court John Taylor was charged with kicking a police-constable, named Edward Smith, in a very atrocious manner. The prisoner was turned out of a public-house and made a noise in the street on Saturday night, and on being expostulated with by the constable, he gave utterance to a Yankee-Irish oath, and kicked him in the lower part of the body and disabled him.—The prisoner, a tall, weather-beaten, red-headed American sea man,wearing a heavy pair of sea-boots, said he was drunk on Saturday night, and that he had recently come from California and was going to sea again in a day or two.— Mr. Benson : No, you will not. I will not tolerate these diabolical assaults on police-officers. The constable was doing his duty mildly and properly. You are sentenced to six weeks' i mpr ii onmen t w ith h ar d labour, I can't say he was close enough. Prisoner—lt appears that my question about your whiskers being singed has suggested the thought of powder being found in your hair. Superintendent Searle, of the E division, said I was sent for on Saturday night from the chief station to the station at Clark's-buildings. The last witness gave me the pistol which has been produced here to-day. It is precisely in the state in which I received it. It is a six-chamber revolver, and three of thechambers are now loaded and the nipples capped. Two of the chambers had been completely discharged, but the bul!et of the third cham ber had become fixed in the pistol. At that time the prisoner did S not make any statement to me. On the Sunday morning I proceeded to prisoner's lodgings at about one o'clock. I saw Chown open one of the drawers in the front room first floor. I searched it, and,found two bullet moulds, a canister containing cartridges, and some bullets in a canister. I2also found a quantity of letters, of which I have taken possession. Mr. Poland—We will not go into that at pre sent. Witness continued—l found in the back kitchen a parcel containing a large number of bullets, some newly cut pistol bullets, and the mould in which they were cast. _ _ Sir T. Henry—Have you tried them with the re volver ? Witness—Not yet, sir. About one o'clock yes terday I asked the prisoner how his head felt, hav ing previously sent for a surgeon to dress it. He said it was sore, and that it was quite the officer's owu fault that anything had occurred, and that if they had not interfered' with him he should not have interfered with them. Prisoner—ls that pistol now in the same state as when you first received it ? Witness—Yes. It had all the appearance of having been recently discharged. Prisoner—On the nipple of the chamber of the barrel from which the bullet was stopped in its pro gress is there the remains of an exploded percussion cap? Witness—Yes. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said—l arrived at the station very shortly after the priso ner was brought in. I accompanied Superintendent Searle to the prisoner's lodgings, and assisted in the search. I found a dagger and a tin box con- tamping three cartridges. The firearms, dagger, powder, bullets, &c., found at prisoner's lodgings, and which were produced in court, filled a moderately sized portmanteau. Inspector Garforth—When I was entering the charge, the prisoner gave me his name as John Patrick Clancy, and that he had no settled abode, and also that he was a printer and reporter. Sir T. Henry—You have said you are a reporter. For what paper ? Prisoner—l said I was a reader and printer. Sir T. Henry --A reader for what publication ? Prisoner—l do not wish at this moment to state the name of the paper? Mr. Poland—l have now to ask for a remand. Sir T. Henry—Certainly, until to-morrow week THE CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.—Timothy Desmond, William Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, John O'Keefe, Nicholas English, John Mullany, and Ann Justice were then placed at the bar, when Mr. Giffard said he wished that two other per sons—namely, a man named Barrett, who had been apprehended, and also the prisoner Mullany, both of whom he now wished to include in the charge of wilful murder. Sir T. Henry—Very well, let that be done. Barrett and Mullany having been placed in the dock, The following witnesses were called : Thomas IVhceler, a little boy, about 11 years of age, said-1 lived with parents at No. 14, Plum mer's-place. I have been brought here from the hospital. I recollect being in Corporation-lane when the prison was blown up. I was along with a little boy named Charley looking up Corporation lane. I saw a tub on the pavement, and a man standing close by it. I first saw the man put a squib in a hole on the top of the tub. There was a cloth over it. I saw the man hold the cloth up a little way to put the squip in it. I afterwards saw him lihgt the squib and then run away. He lit it with a match. Mr. Giffard—Did you se the man who did it? Witness—Yes sir. Mr. Giffard—Do you see him here to-day ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Giffard—Point him out. Witness—That's him, the one nearest me (Bar. rett). Mr. Giffard—You had seen him before he lit the squib ? Witness--Yes. Mr. Giffard—And you picked him out this morn ingfritonmess_y amongst es; some si.r others. w I 'Cross- examined —I was in Roscoman-street when the explosion took place. I was blown down, and I have lost the third finger of my left hand, and also my thumb by the explosion. I saw a little boy pick up one of the squibs the man threw down and run away with it. Sir T. Henry—Barrett, have you any questions to put to the witness? Barrett—No, sir, not at present. I was totally unacquainted with the law. Henry Morris—l am 18 years of age. Mr. Giffard--I don't want his address to be men tioned. Sir T. Henry—Very well. Examination continued—l was an apprentice to Mullany. I have often seen a person named Brown visit him. I afterwards learned from my master that " Brown" was Colonel Burke. I recollect hearing of the arrest of Burke and Casey, and I then heard master say, " Poor Brown was taken." After that I never saw Brown at Mullany's. The day after I heard of the arrest of the two men. I recollect once. I ran after the prisoner, calling out " Stop chief," when, ou getting near Bedford-square, I saw him turn round and take a deliberate aim with a revolver at Sergeant Chown. We still pursued, and later on, as described by the last witness, the prisoner fired at me when I was about 15 yards from him. I believe that it was entirely owing to the prisoner being seized by the coachman that the prisoner was prevented from firing another barrel at me. Sir T. Henry—What makes you believe that ? Witness—He was just in the act of turning round again as if to take aim when the coachman seized him. Whilst we were down I seized hold of the pistol with my right hand ; it then again exploded within about five inches of my head. The flash nearly blinded me. I again found powder in my hair and whiskers. When I got the pistol from the prisoner I struck him with the butt end of it twice on the head. Mr. Poland—Did you see what became of the pri soner's stick ? Witness —No, I did not. I was present at the prisoner's residence when a search was made, but I did not find anything, as I was on duty guarding the other persons. Prisoner—Did Chown tell me be was a policeman when he told me he was going to take me into cus tody ? Witness—Not when he first spoke to you, but he did a moment or two afterwards. Prisoner—Did you not turn the persons who had come to give evidence on Saturday out of the charge-room ? Witness—Yes, we were compelled to do so ; there were too many in the room. I should say there were fully forty persons present. In answer to further questions the witness said the prisoner was near Caroline-street, and he was then running towards Charlotte-street. Prisoner —You say powder was found in your hair, Why your whiskers would have been singed if the pistol had been discharged so near your head as you say. Sir T. Henry—That is matter of argument. Witness—A gentleman told me at the station, after we got there, that there was powder in my hair. He also said I had had a narrow escape. Sir T. Henry—Did the prisoner hear that re mark ? a man named Barrett calling at master's house. I romember master saying that the four men, Burke, Casey, Barrett, and another, were followed in the Euston-road, and that before they got to the end of the road they separated, but as Barrett got to the place of destination and Burke did not he supposed Burke was taken. Mullany told the men on the board that Barrett had gone to America, because some person suspected him of betraying Burke. I know three of the prisoners at the dock, Mallany, English, and Mr. Jackson. Sir T. Henry—Which is Mr. Jackson ? Witness—That one, pointing to Barrett. I have seen William Desmond once. I recollect the prison blown up. I saw Jackson at Master's house, I think, the day before. He said he was going away with another person. On the evening of the day of the explosion Mr. Jackson and another per son called at Master's. They came in by the back door. I saw that the person who came in with Jackson had a piece of his right ear off. It was fresh and bleeding. One of the workmen asked Mullany what was the matter with the man's ears, when he said he had been fighting and that some one had bit a piece off his ear. Jackson went into Masters' back room. I was curious to know what was said, so I took an iron in my hand to put in the fire, and went in when I saw Mr. Jackson washing himself. His neck was black as if with gunpowder. Mr. Giffard—Just be particular how he was wash.. ing himself. Witness—He was washing his neck where tho black was. I think he also changed his clothes, as there was a bundle of clothes tied up on the table. The other man I know had changed his, as 1 saw him in a different dress. Mrs. Mullaney folded them up in a black wrapper and took them away. Jack. son (Barrett) since that time has cut his whiskers. He had neither beard nor moustache when I saw him. By prisoner Barrett—l did not see you bring in a bundle of clothes ; you came in at the back door. I did not see you come in at all. I saw you wash ing your neck, I know that. As the other man had changed his clothes, I think you had done the same. I don't know where the clothes were got, but I knew Mrs. Mullany folded up seme clothes and took them. away. I knew that Master could not supply you with a change of clothes, but I cannot say you did not bring them in with you as I did not see you come in. You were washing yourself in the ordinary way with your sleeves tucked up. Your face was washed, and you began washing your neck when I went in. Mr. Giffard—l think, sir, from what has now been communicated to me that the man O'Neill should now be placed in the dock. Sir T. Henry —Very well, let him be sent for. Mr. Burnaby—What is your name ? Prisoner—James O'Niell. Thomas Young recalled—l identify that man (O'Niell). Sir H. Henry—Was he placed among others ? Young—Yes ; with about 20 or 30. I also re collect seeing Barrett at the explosion. Mr. Giffard—Just describe to me what you saw on the occasion of the explosion. Young—The first man there is the man who fired the barrell (O'Niell). He had a light coat on, and a tall hat on. I saw two lucifers lit, but I only saw the barrel lit once. I can almost swear positively that Barrett is the man who threw the lucifers, but he then had a black coat on. The lucifer that lighted the squib was taken from the box that was thrown to the other prisoner. O'Niell—Are you sure about me ? Witness—Yes, your hair is the exact colour-- your face the same. Barrett—l wish to make one or two observations. Sir T. Henry—Well, it is my duty to inform you that whatever you say will be taken down and may be used against you. Barrett—What sort of a coat had I on ? Witness—Why, a black frock coat, and you took the box of lucifers from an inner breast-pocket. O'IN iell—What sort of coat had I on ? Witness—One of the fashionable brown ones. Barrett—Had I as much whisker on as I've got now. Witness—Yes. Barrett—A moustache and a beard all round? Witness—Yes, but a little moustache. Mr. Giffard—l do not propose going any further to-day. Sir T. Henry—Very well. The prisoners are re , * mauded until Tuesday week. O'Niell—l hope I shall be allowed to connnuni. cate with my friends. in Glasgow. I shall be able to produce a hundred witnesses from there to prove I was not at Clerkenwell. That fellow will swear anything —the false-swearing villain. Barrett—l don't care. I wish to apologise to the gentlemen of the press for my appearance. X have seen some scurrulous remarks by some of the scribblers of the press about my appear. ante. I could not dress my hair to-day as I was not allowed a comb, so I hope they will excuse me. I have to thank the gentlemen who brought me here for their kindness on the journey. I have nothing to complain of since I arrived in London. My treatment has been very different here to what it was in Glasgow. O'Niell—l quite coincide in that. Sir T. Henry—llo you intend to proceed with the treason-felony case ? Mr. Giffard—No, Sir Thomas, that is now un. necessary, as all the prisoners are now charged with wilful murder. The prisoners were then remanded. PHOTOGRAPHY. The following process for obtaining direct im. pressions on paper, especially during winter and cloudy weather, is published by the llioniteur de la Photogruphie. Tho paper should first be salted by immersion in the following bath :—Chloride oe sodium (common salt), 65 gms. ; rain water, 375 cubic centimetres ; hydrochloric acid, six drops. The paper should remain in this bath for two or three hours, and then be hung up to dry. Tho sensitizing bath is thus composed :—Nitrate of sil. ver, 30 cubic centim. ; citric acid, 5 gms. ; distilled water, 250 cub. cent. The paper should float on this bath for two or three minutes, and then be hung up as before. As soon as it is dry, or nearly so, care having been taken to remove the liquid that accumulates at the bottom or at a corner, it may be exposed on the ground glass plate of the ca mera. The exposure should last three or four se conds in the sun ; in dull weather as many minutes may be required, according to circumstances. A very weak image will appear ; as soon as it is sufficiently distinct, the paper is removed and laid on a glass plate somewhat smaller than the paper, right side upwards. The edges of the paper are folded under the glass, and in this condition the latter is laid face upwards in a l arge d eveloping basin, say at the end A, raisi ng the latter a little, so that the follow mg solution may be poured in at the end B Pyrogallic acid, 8 gins. ; citric acid, 4 gms. ; water, 190 cubic cent. The end B should now be sud denly raised so as to flush the paper at once with the liquid, to avoid waves or lines. As soon as the lights and shades are well developed, which requires but a few seconds, take out the proof, wash under a stop-cock, fix with 30 gins. of hypo sulphite of soda dissolved in 500 cub. cent. of water for ten minutes, wash again, and dry the proof. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 17.—0 n the occasion of the Rus.sian New Year, the lavalide Itusse ex presses the opinion that, according to all probability, the European questions in suspense may be solved in 1868. RUSSIA IN THE EAST.—We have received the following important telegram from Vicuna:—" The report which has often appeared lately in the Vienna and other journals that Russia was arming on the Pruth is entirely without foundation. Russia was never loss in a position to go to war than at the present moment. She has neither men, horses, breechloaders, nor money."
