MONEY MARKET AND lOMMEROIAL fNTt 7,,LMNOA, CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The payment of the dividends commenced at the Bank of England this morning, and, though the 'weather is preventing many persons from attend ing, a good deal of money is already at the com mand of the public. Few reinvestments have taken place, but the Funds arc at a point higher than yesterday. In the Foreign Market, United States' securities again receded a little, and the more speculative of the Continental Stocks are dull.

The half-yearly meeting of the Scottish Australian Investme n t Company has been called for the 31st 1 , 11 , 8 t, to recei v e the directors' report and to declare a d ividend. The Directors of the Union Marine Insurance Company announce a payment to the shareholders of 10 per cent. - In reference to the communication from the Committee of Administration of the Atlantic 4▪ 4CI Great Western Railway, which appeared in The Globe of last evening, Mr. Ridsdale, the chairman of the Debenture-holders' Asso ciation, states as follows :—" The first paragraph of that letter contains a threat against the debenture holders' committee for having investigated and published what the committee of investigation failed after nine months' delay to accomplish. The accuracy of every statement made in the debenture-holders' report can he substantiated by their committee." The capital of the Madras Railway Company has j▪ ust been increased by the issue of £1,000,000 £2O shares, bearing the usual guaranteed interest of 5 per Cent The letters of allotment of. tho A.nslo -Argentine Company (Limited) were received this morning. A circular issued to the shareholders has the following : Mr. Barnard. who was connected with the Works now belonging to the Anglo• Argentine Company (Limited), has furnished the direc tors with a careful statement, showing from actual results already obtained by practical Working, that if the company only work two cajones of ore per day, they can realise a profit of £1,500 Per month, or 45 per cent. on a capital of £40,000, and that thi s can b e i ncrease d t o a l mos t a ny extent, from time to time, by enlarging the works and in creasing the means of transport. Mr. Barnard's de tailed stat emen t can b e seen by an y s h a reholder, at ~ L4le company' s offices ; but as it contains much valu able information, it would be unwise in the interest of the company to publish it. I regret it cannot be printed for circulation." vir The traffic receipts of the Great Luxemburg Rail -2y Company for the week ending the sth inst., shows a decrease as compared with the corresponding Week of last year of £725.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE W. J. POSS.-THEATRICAL SPECULATIONS. This bankrupt was described as a theatrical manager, lately in partnership with Messrs. Framp ton and Fenton, the late lessees of the Victoria Theatre, and he came up to-day for his order of discharge, the accounts showing debts £452 due to unsecured creditors, and £925 upon accommodation bills. Mr. Robertson Griffiths, who appeared for the bankrupt, stated that his client came from India some time ago with a capital of £2,000. He heard that Messrs. Frampton and Fenton ha 1 taken the Victoria Theatre, and intended to mike a great im provement in the plays produced at that transpon- tine home. Being inclined to theatrical specu lation, although he had never indulged in is before, the bankrupt invested his Indian savings in the lloyAl Victoria, and, said the learned counsel, he lost every farthing. He has certainly dealt in accommodation bills to help the concern, because the ballet girls and others must be paid, and he also thought the lease of the theatre, which cost £1,500, and which was handed over to him as security, was worth money. His Honour granted the order of discharge, and cautioned the bankrupt against indulging his fancy in future. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. ---a--- NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) ATTEMPT TO MURDER. John Blake, a young-looking man, was indicted for having felo❑iously attempted to murder Thomas Whelard on the night of the 26th of Oc tober last. Mr. Pater, instructed by Mr. Chapple, appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was unde defended. The facts of the case were these : That prosecutor, with a female cousin of his named Wren, about half-past nine o'clock, on the 26th October, went together to Woolwich, and on their return, as they were coming by Armstrong-street arm in arm, as the cousin was a cripple and used a crutch, they were walking in the road quietly, when they saw the prisoner shortly afterwards, and, according to their statement, Mr. Whelard was struck from behind by the prisoner. The female witness said that she saw him afterwards knocked down and receive several blows from the prisoner. He then proceeded to take her crutch, and she screamed out " Murder." He got her crutch and knocked Whelard over the head with it several times. The crutch was broken, and she got home with a broom-stick, which was lent her by a young man. Mr.Whelard was much knocked about, and suffered from partial compression of the brain. Several persons living in Armstrong-street gave confirmatory testimony, and a medical prac titioner iu the neighbourhood stated that Whelard was not likely to completely recover from his injuries. The prisoner's statement was that he had just taken off his boots and coat, and was asking for a candle to go to bed, when his landlady's daughter said she heard screams, and that there was a row in the street. Prisoner went out with them to see it without his boots. He saw the female struggling with the prosecutor, and heard her say " You are trying to lead me astray." He went to her assistance, and the man and woman, according to his account, both began to beat him. They fell down each of them two or three times, and at last some one said, " Here come the bobbies,'" and he then ran away and went in doors, put on his boots, and went to Woolwich to have his head dressed. To confirm this statement he called his landlady's daughter. The learned Judge, in summing up, remarked upon the peculiar contradictions of the case, and stated that he considered that the evidence which supported the indictment charging the prisoner with attempt to murder was very slight. The case was proceeding when we went to preEs. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Shee.) Thomas Clarke was indicted for the wilful murder of Annie Smith, at Lambeth. It will be recollected that the prisoner surrendered himself into custody, and this morning, on being placed in the dock, and formally arraigned on the capital charge, pleaded guilty. The Learned Judge explained to the prisoner the ~ull effect of such a plea, and asked, after such ex planation, whether he still persisted in his plea of guilty. The prisoner still refused to withdraw his plea, when it was arranged that sentence should be de ferred until next session, in order that the state of his mind might be ascertained.

CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Sarah Amos, unmarried, was indicted for the wil ful murder of her female infant. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prisoner was a domestic servant in the ser vice of a person residing at Newington, and sus picions having arisen as to her condition she was questioned, but denied that she was enciente. How ever, the questions were pressed, and she at length admitted that the fact was true, and that the body of the child would be found in her box in her bedroom. Search was made, and, as the prisoner had said so, the b o d y was f oun d w ith a piece of red worsted tied ti g htl y roun d its throat. There was no evidence to show that the child had been born alive. Mr. Fox, the medical gentleman, who had made a post mortem examination of the body, was of opinion hanituitrder applied to a ll had. The Judge, in summi ng up t h e case , sa id the law of learned a lik e, women as well as men, the age of the person whose life WAS t taken away not in the least altering the case. The . question for the jury to decide was, did the deceased child die by strangulation ? It was not suggested that it ever lived, or that it died of any other cause. Mr. Fox, the surgeon, said the deat . h of the child was caused by the tying a piece of red worsted so tightly round its neck that he was prevented from getting more than the tips of his fingers between it and the neck of the deceased. Then they would have to decide whether the de ceased was strangled by the prisoner, and whether the intention was to kill ; if so, then it was his duty to tell them that she had been guilty of murder. There was, however, another very important point for them to consider and decide, and that was, was the death of the child caused by the prisoner intend ing to facilitate the birth of the child ; and if so, although it bad been born alive and had been strangled by the prisoner in so doing, then it was his duty to tell them that they could not find a verdict of guilty of wilful murder against her. Taking into consideration all the evidencc, they would have to satisfy themselves that the in fant had lived a separate existence from the mother, and if they could not come to a certain and indisput- able opinion that such was the fact then they could not return a verdict convicting the unhappy woman at the bar of murder. There was, however, an in dictment against the prisoner of concealment of birth, which of itself was a very serious crime, and he felt bound to tell them that there was abundant evidence to enable them to arrive at a conclusion as to that part of the case. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of con cealment of birth and recommended her to mercy. The learned d udge sentenced her to imprisonment with hard labour for 15 months. THE LATE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER.— At the Salford Quarter Sessions held on Monday the county magistrates unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Mr. II L. Trafford, chairman of Quarter Sessions, for his ad mirable management of the arrangements necessary for safely escorting the Fenian prisoners backwards and forwards between the New Bailey prison and the assize courts during the sixteen days over which the trial 4 ex tended. WrEDNESDAY Ey Ni G, JANUARY 8 ISE 8. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. WESTMINSTER. DOG STEALING.—John Thompson, 35, painter, was charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing a dog valued £5, the property of a lady residing at 6, Arlington-street, Piccadilly. Mrs. Laura Millicent Holyoake said—l was at Hyde-park-colier yesterday, at five o'clock, and had with me a valuable little dog. I crossed to go over to Malkin-street, and was just turning down Grosvenor-place when I missed my dog, and asked my maid if she saw it. I had just seen a man pass with a short pipe, and on turning to look I saw the dog's tail and legs from underneath the mati%i arm. My maid and I overtook him, and we seized the dog; he held it quit 3 tight, and said, " It is not your's; it is mine." I got the dog out of his arms with the assistance of my maid, and I sent an orangewoma,n for a policeman, and three came. The prisoner kept saying the dog was not mine—he had forty dogs. Cross-exainine•l--I held your coat while the woman went for a policeman. You were not sober. Prisoner—l picked up the dog to prevent its being run over by a carriage at the Duke of Wellington's Arch. I meant to bring the dog to the station. I did not know it belonged to the lady, and only walked a few paces with it. James Brain, 124 A—l was on duty at ITyde park-corner, and was fetched to take the prisoner into custody. He said the dog came to his legs and he picked it up. He was slightly under the influence of liquor. He has given a right address, and seems a respectable man from inquiries. The police stated that the prisoner was known to them as a respectable man, and had been a house holder for 20 years. Mr. Arnold said it was a case of extreme suspi cion, but he did not think the prisoner intended to steal the dog, although if the lady had not seen him with it it might never have been seen again. After the respectable character he had been given he would not convict him, but order him to be bound over to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for six months. THE FENIAN ARREST ON BOARD THE ORLINA. The consul passenger, Lionel Granville, who was arrested on board the Oriana on Monday, upon the supposition that he. was Captain Deasy, or, at any rate, that he was implicated in the Manchester outrage in September last, has now been released from custody. Granville ' went on board the Oriana as a consul passenger at the Italian port of Leghorn, and during the pas sage from thence his conduct and conversation gave rise to the supposition he was a prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood. Intelligence to that effect had been communicated to the police, and on the Oriana's arrival at London-bridge a body of the Thames police, in two boats, followed the ship up the river, and several detectives at the &AMC time boarded the vess.24 front the shore side. Granville was taken into custody, and pri vately conveyed to the Leman-street police-station, Goodman's-fields, Whitechapel. Communications were at once made by telegram to Manchester, and detectives from thence were quickly on the spot ; bat they failed to recogniSe him either as Capt. Deasy or Kelly ; and, after a private examination, Gran ville was discharged from custody, no evidence being forthcoming to implicate him with any of the Fenian outrages. He is entirely indebted to his own conduct and statements for his arrest and the implications connected therewith. The Manchester police, according to the Exa miner and Times, appear to entertain no doubt that the man apprehended at London Bridge, and who gives the name of Lionel .Granville, is a man who was in Manchester recently, passing under that name, and having no supposed con nection with Fenianism. He was, •as stated in some London reports of his apprehensioni in Manchester •at the time of the attack on the van," but he was never suspected of being a.parti cipant in the attack. About a week after that event ho was engaged in the Manchester police forceon trial, and was discharged,as he did not give satisfaction. THE FRENCH DEMOCRATS AND THE FEIVIAZV,S. The l imes of this morning, at the request of Mr Felix Pyat, publishes the address of the French De mocrats to their brethern in England and Ireland. They declare that the three convicts at Manchester were condemned, not for killing a policeman, but for having rescued two patriot chiefs, and for having done that which no Government can pardon—risen in insurrection against tyranny. The address received the following signa tures :—Albert, ancien membre du Gouvernment Provisoire, ancien representant du peuple, Seine ; Greppo, ancien representant du peuple, Rhone ; Ferdinand Gambon, ancien represen taut du peuple, Nievre ; Malardser, ancien, re presentant du peuple, Nievre ; Collet, ancien Commandant de la Garde Nationale de Paris ; H. Tolain, redacteur du Courrier Francais; Baron de Sonat ; Charpentier, Professeur ; Villeneuve, Doc teur en Medecin ; Chavelet, Docteur en Droit ; Herpe, Ingenieur Civil ; Robert, artiste.

ROCHDALE, 6th.—The market for flannel to-day has been flat. There was a meagre attendance of buyers, and but small selections of goods were pur chased. The general feeling in the trade is indica- tive of slackness for the next few markets till the accounts for the past year are settled. The mann facturers:atc scarcely so well employed as they were a short time ago, manufacturers showing great care not to overstock the market. The Yorkshire pods trade remains quiet, and the same may be said as to wool. Prices of both goods and wool are without change since last week. POSTAL CONTRACTS.—The contracts just con cluded between the Postmaster-General and various steamship companies for the carriage of mails to Anierica, gave rise to a large amount of official correspondence be tween the Treasury, the Postmaster-General, and the re spective companies interested. This correspondence, which appears as a Parliamentary paper of 61 pages, shows that there are at present four regular mails per week between this country and the United States, conveyed respectively by the North Gorman Lloyd, the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia, the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company, and by the ships of Messrs. Cunard, Burns, and Alaciver. From a letter addressed by the Duke of Montrose (as Postmaster-General) to the Lords of the Treasury, it appears that the last-mentionod, commonly called the Cunard line, is most used for cor respondence between the two countries, "which is evident from the fact that 46 per cant. of the whole international correspondence from this country to the United States, and 50 per cent. of the international correspondence from the United States to this country, are carried by this line." The correspondence is regularly despatched by the first mail made up after it is posted, so that the cor respondence sent by the Cunard steamers must be specially written for this line. It appears, moreover, that during the present year twenty-six out of thirty five mails despatched from Queenstown to New York on Sunday were delivered in that city on or before Thursday in the following week, and thirty-eight out of forty-two homeward mails despatched from the United States on Wednesday arrived in time for delivery in London and the principal towns of the United Kingdom on or before the morning of Monday in the next week but ono after the date of despatch. The same letter observes "that no such regularity of communication has hitherto been afforded by the other lines." At the close of the present year the contract with Messrs. Cunard and Co. will expire, and as it has been decided that the British Government shall for the future provide only for the outward mails, tenders were advertised for by the Post-office, and four were received. The companies tendering required from 11 and a half to 14 days for the voyage, and the. Duke of Montrose considered that the acceptance of those tenders would expose correspondence to an unnecessary amount of delay, and the changes which would follow on the acceptance of these tenders would be—(l) a reduction of accommodation from the let of January next so far ea the outward mails are concerned; (2) a change in the practice of the mercantile community with regard to those mails; (3) absolute uncertainty as to the homeward mails; (4) the loss of the advantages which the department or the public 'derives from sortation; and (5) the certainty that as the sea postage on the articles conveyed has to bo paid . to those who convey the outward mails, no increase in the quantities so conveyed will bring any profit to the department. Messrs. Cunard and Co. declined to fill up the advertised form of tender, but expressed their willingness to perform a weekly service between Queens town and New York, under certain conditions—td £120,000 per annum if required to touch at Efalifax, and £95,000 when no longer required to do so. This is a re daction of .Z 33,000 per annum on the present annual. sub sidy received by this company. The Lords of the Trea sury eventually empowered the Postmaster-General to offer to Messrs. Cunard and Co. the sum of £30,000 for the carriage of these mails during 12 mouths, which offer was finally accepted by that firm on the 4th of November, and will take effect on Saturday next.—Pall Mall Gazette.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DESTROYING CLOTHES IN A WORK HO USE. —Mary Lyas, a laundress, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully deStroying her clothes while a casual inmate of St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street. Thomas Wheatstone, superintendent of labour of St. George's Workhouse, said—Last night the pri son& was admitted to the casual ward by a ticket from the police, and this morning she got up and did some work and then bad her breakfast. She afterwards went to bed again and tore up all her clothes into little pieces. There had been two or three similar cases this week, and they were obliged to give the prisoner into custody. The Prisoner—My clothes were very dirty. I am sorry for what I have done. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf the matter is passed over it will be continually going on ; the parish cannot stand it. The Prisoner—lf I could get a little decent clothing I could get work. Wheatstone—She has been at the workhouse a good many times, and been here before. Mr. Rogers, the representative of the parochial authorities of St. George's, said that they admitted thirty casuals every night, and th a t th e au th or iti es could not find clothing for all who wished it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will send the prisoner for seven days instead of 21 this time. THAMES. - A CANDIDATE FOR THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. —William Smith, a tall and very excitable man, was brought before Mr. Benson on a warrant, charged with deserting his three children, and leaving them from n tothe Poplar Union. It appearedevidence of Mr. George chargeablelthe Harris, one of the relieving officers of the Poplar Union, that the prisoner was a widower, and up to last winter maintained a good character. Ile was then engaged as an assistant in the relieving office at a time of great distress, and the pressure upon the officers very great. In August last the prisoner left his three children in the workhouse, and they had been maintained by the union ever since. The expenses amounted to £l3 10s. Last night the prisoner came to the union -house in a state of intoxication, and insisted on seeing hi s children. His conduct' was very disgraceful, and he was again taken into custody for being drunk and disorderly. The warrant granted by the magistrate for deserting his children was acted upon, and he was detained upon that. The prisoner said he was a candidate for admis sion to the metropolitan police force, and had been on drill at the Wellington Barracks, to qualify him self, for some time. He merely called last night to see his children. He was excited but not drunk, and he would support his children when he joined the police force. Mr. Benson said there was one thing in the prisoner's favouri that he had called to see his children, and that he had expressed his willing ness to provide for them. The prisoner had better do so, and not leave them to the union to be maintained. The prisoner must cone to seine arrangement with the u n i o n authorities. He re manded him, on hi s own recog nisanced ) until Fri day, the 17th inst. MARKETS—(2his Day.) There was only a small arrival of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, the quality of which was only middling. Altho ug h th e d eman d wa s not active, factors were firm in d eman di ng the extreme ra t e s of Monday l as t. There was a good s h ow o f f ore i g n samples, for which there was a retail inquiry, at the late advance in the quo tations. Fine malting barley sold steadily, at full values, and there was a fair business passing in grinding and distilling qualities. The floating-grain cargo trade has:assumed a vory firm tone, although the number of sales concluded was by no means large. The wheats afloat aro largely sought after, at improving currencies. Barley and maize being scarce, arc held for very high rates. Malt was firm in price, but the demand _ruled heavy. The supply is extensive. Oats were plentiful, and good sound corn moved off steadily at Monday's improvement in prices. Beans commanded fully late rates. as were a slow sale, but valuco were firmly sup ported. Town made flower was very steady at hardening cur rencies. Country marks and foreign were held for late rates. In linseed and rapeseed there was very little passing. Now cloverseed was very dull of sale. Cakes were firm in prices. ARRIVALS TUTS WZIX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
