HONE/ MARKET AND COMMEROIAL INTALLIGIINCH, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Stock Markets are dull, without any material change in price, except in some of the Foreign Stocks, especially Indian, owing to the nature of the state ment put forth by the Finance Minister. The Funds and most of the leading Railway stocks retain the improvement established during the later hours yes terday. The present dullness is in a great measure attributable to the weather, which has become cold and wet. The discount demand remains inanimate, in spite of the current rate for the best bills being i per cent. below the official minimum. Consols are steady at 928 to 93 for money and account. New and Reduced Three per Cents., 93 to 938. India Five per Cents., 1111 to 1121. Bank Stock, 212 to 244. Exchequer Bills, 225. to 278. prem.

The Deutschland, from New York, brings £85,750 In specie. The shipments of gold from Australia for Great Britain during December last amounted to £102,000. The prospectus of the Hungarian Loan has been issued for France, and subscriptions will be opened on the 23d inst. in Paris, Pesth, Buda, Vienna, Frankfort, Amsterdam, and London. The number of obligations issued will be 709,380, at the price of 215 francs, repayable in fifty year's, at 300 francs ; each obligation bearing, an annual interest of 15 francs, so that the loan is a 5 p e r ce n t. loan, Or, if allowance be made for discount and other advantages offered to subscribers, it will pay 7 per cent. • The directors of the Consolidated Bank have issued their half-yearly report. There is a net profit of £27,263, and, adding the previous balance, there is X 3 5,451 for distribution. After paying a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, adding £3,100 to the reserved surplus fund, and £lO,OOO to the special reserve fund, a balance is carried forward of X 2,351. Mr. Murray Gladstone succeeds the late Mr. Aspinall Turner as director. The dividend is Payable on February 1. A proposed dividend of £1 2s Cd per share has been Ll 9 ,Teed to by the shareholders of the Bradford Old The death is announced of Mr. Bennett, secretary to the Bank of Scotland. From the ithportant report of Messrs. Turquand and Harding, official liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Company, concerning the progress of the liquidation and its ultimate result, we make the following extracts At the date t,".' the suspension of the company, the liabilities amounted to £18,727,915 13s Bd. On the 25th February, 1867, the date of our last statement, they had been reduced to £3,640,655 16s 7d; and it will be found that at the 31st December they had been further reduced to £1,190,855 41 Bd. The cre ditors at the date of the suspension were 1755 in number ; they have now been reduced to 1243. The total amount distributed by us by way of dividend or otherwise, including moneys paid to redeem and Maintain securities, and including also the proceeds of securities held against bills, which with other moneys were specially applicable, has been £3,796,206 3s 6 d. The t o t a l amount paid by contributories in respect of the two calls has been £1,548,790 7s sd, and of that sum 4 0 03426 9s ld has been paid during the past year. To the 31st Docember last, the total receipts, including the Darnents by contributories have been £3,837,973 is 7d. The unpaid calls will, we believe, produce £89,907 8s 10d, natnelY, £21,867 Os 5d in respect of the first call, and 468 040 8s 5d in respect of the second call. The securities held by creditors are estimated to produce £ 6 8,354 185, leaving a probable surplus of £25,452 18s Bd. The bills rediscounted which are still in the hands of creditors are estimated to produce £150,070 3s 41, leaving a probable surplus of £64,976 lls 7d. The total value of the remaining assets, as now estimated, is £1,681,221 4slod, being £618,361 11s 3d in excess of the balance of indebted ess, exclusive of interest. We have reason to hope that FY the end of the current year very nearly the whole of the Indebtedness of the company will have been discharged. The report of the directors of the Lond Finanial rA-ssociation has been issued. The liabilities are c re dUced to £240,000. During the past year seven rail ways, in which the Association is interested to the extent of £400,000, have been opened, and the board will continue the policy of developing the several pro iects of the company. To -morrow (Wednesday) an instalment of 15 per cent. is due on the Egyptian Railway Loan. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Corn- PanY (Limited) have received the following report, dated Morro Yam, 17th December, 1867 :—" Pro duce for November, 06,323 oitavas from 5,523 tons of ore ; yield 6.149 oitavas per ton ; cost f or N ovem b er , 4 'B 841 ; profit for ditto, £5,235 ; produce ten days ° ,f liecember, 2,440 oitavas ; yield 1 . 214 oitavas per The receipts of the Cape Railway Company for the month of November amounted to £3,140 3s Bd, being X 73 14s 9d less than last year. The Russian Credit Foncier Company, under the D i onorary presidency of his Imperial Hi g h ness t h e Grand Duke Constantine, has concluded a contract With Messrs. Rothschild for negotiating mortgage bonds to the amount of fifty millions of roubles. In a lengthy and useful review of the wool trade of 486 7, Mr s elmuth Schwartze thus refers to the prospects of 18G8 :—Trade is perfectly quiet, and feney continues to lie idle. What we know of the future is, that, from the chief sources of pro duction, the English colonies and South America, t he supply of wool will again show consi derable increase. To meet it we have large stocks, a stationary consumption, wheat 45 per cent. higher t han the average o f th e th ree prece di ng years, an d a Dad trade. The revival of business must be very great and sudden to equalise this great disproportion ; we see no prospects of its taking place on so large a sc ale, and therefore look forward to a dull year and a continuance of low prices."

For the last three days visitors have been pour ing into this city almost without intermission ; not only from all parts of the empire, but from North and South, East and West. They are mostly persons of distinction, either sent by counties, towns, and bodies corporate, to offer a tri bute of public respect to the remains of a Prince who was at once the friend of the people, of free dom, and of commerce ; or attracted to the mourn ful ceremony I have just witnessed by personal re miniscences of his Imperial Majesty, w ho had filled so many offices of importance during his eventful life, and had, in one and all, won the affection and esteem of those with whom his duties brought him in contact. From Florence, Venice, and Milan cam e gentlemen bearing the proudest names of Italy's ancient aristocracy ; proving, by their presence, that one Hapsburg at least had succeeded in earn ing the regard of Austria's whilom rebellious vas sals. The great families of Citadella-Vigodar zere, Coxio, Panizai, Bembo, Mezzacapo, &c., were represented by their respective heads. Grandees of Spain, Boyards from Russia, Prussian nobles, naval officers from Dentnark,lSweden, and other maritime kingdoms ; Croat chieftains, Hungarian magnates, Dalmatian gentry, and notabilities from Belgium, Holland, &c., crowded the hotels and quite thronged the Corso—Trieste's afternoon lounge—with types of various nationalities. At the Albergo della Citta, where I have been stay ing, we have had several Archdukes, the mili tary Governor of Venice, Prince Windiscbgratz, P rince de Wurtemberg, and a host of Imperial Chamberlains, Admirals, proprietors of regi ments, and high officials. Our table d'hote has resembled a Court dinner table, and our tabagie the antechamber of a throne room. Many of these visitors have left with the special train conveying the body to Vienna ; amongst others, Marquis . Coxio, and Count de Bornbelles, the former of whom was one of the few Milanese gentlemen whom Maximilian attached to his ser vice whilst Viceroy of Lombardy, and the latter his earliest friend and playmate, faithful to him in good and evil fortune, as, indeed, hundreds of gallant gentlemen have proved. Mr. Eloin, who was re ceived at Osborne by her Majesty, on his arrival in England from a Mexican prison, also accompanied the mourning suite. The train will arrive on Friday (to-morrow) evening at Vienna, taking thirty-two hours to perform the three hundred mile journey, although it will only stop twice on the road for fuel and water. No demonstrations will be made at any station betweeen Trieste and Vienna. Yesterday the buoys extending in a semicircle across the bay, some four hundred yards from the head of the Molo San Carlo, were cleared of the vessels moored to them, and all the smaller craft in port disposed of along the quays, so as to leave ample elbow-room for the expected squadron. At ab out half-past six p.m., it being then quite dark, the Novara, Radetzky, Donau, Adria, and Vile bich glided silently into the inner harbour, and took up the places assigned for them. No salute was fired, either by ships of the squadron or the port batteries. The Imperial Capitano de Porto, who, of course, was first man on board the flagship to greet the Admiral, and make the final arrangements for the day's ceremony, was good enough to bear a message to the hero of Lissa, which resulted in the miniature steamer of the Naval Board being placed at my disposal for a visit to the Novara. As we steamed briskly out into the bay, I was much struck with light, and nest with the brilliant and picturesque appearance pre senngtedinbythTeriseisnteu,osgitliietsteroif glitterin g ling hilly coast—snowy n white villas dotting the rocky terraces that form the background of the town, and forests of masts spreading out to the right and left of the massive Molo. In a few minutes we reached the black side of the frigate, and were ushered past the chapclle ardente, in which the coffin of Maximilian was lying, into the Admiral's cabin, where we found Tegethoff surrounded by his offi cers, and paid our respects to the Austrian Collingwood. The Admiral looked exceedingly well, and gave a highly satisfactory account of his voyage. The Novara encountered bad weather only upon one occasion after her departure from Cadiz, when a heavy gale set in, which lasted for several hours. With this exception she has been singularly fortunate, having made an unusually quick run from Vera Cruz to the coast of Spain. Whilst we were conversing the Prince and two Princesses Auersperg came on board, with the re quest that they might be permitted to offer up prayers for the soul of the dead Emperor in the chapel on the main deck ; and when the officer who conducted me thither drew back the heavy hangings veiling the entrance, it was a touching sight to see the group of mourning friends kneeling round the huge polished coffin, enshrined on a vel vet-covered dais, and illuminated by tall yellow candles,shedding a soft and mysteriouslight upon the insignia of royalty covering the bier. The decora tions of the chapel were black and silver, the Mexi can,Austrian,and Hapsburg family arms emblazoned on the drapery ; and the coffin, made of lustrous grenadillo—a ra re an d prec i ous S ou th A mer i c a n wood —was partly shrouded in a black and gold pall, upon which rested the Imperial crown of Mexico, the Archducal coronet, the collars of the Mexican Eagle and the Golden Fleece. Round the chapel door stood the guard of honour, composed of naval lieutenants, and an unnatural stillness reigned over the whole vessel, the more remarkable as the Novara had but just arrived from a long voyage, and as on such occasions the discipline of a man of-war, however normally strict, is generally re laxed. The whole scene made a deep and painful impression upon me, and I was unfeignedly glad to take my leave of the gallant admiral, and return to the gaily-lighted quays and cheerful streets of the Free City. Shortly after I got ashore the Archdukes Louis Victor, Charles Louis, and Ernest went on board, and prayed over the body of their beloved brother an d cous i n, an d ot h er v i s it ors o f high rank followed. I can but publicly return thanks to Admiral Tegethoff for having accorded me the privilege of being the first to set foot on the deck of the Novara upon so interesting an occasion. This morning at eight o'clock a general salute was fired, the first gun booming from the Schwar zenberg, and the last from the Minerva, the late Archduke's first command. Having by the kind intervention of Baron Godel Lannoy, the president of the Naval Board, been assigned a place in the boat commanded by the captain of the port, I em barked with Cavaliere Blassilh at the small pier opposite the Seebehorde, and eight stout rowers soon swept our gig, containing the Austrian colours draped in black crape, into the centre of the bay. On approaching the Novara we found the boats of the squadron already drawn up around her, and the funeral floating platform upon which the coffin was to be conveyed to the Mole lashed alongside. This gorgeous object which had been kept perfectly secret by Signor Tonello, to whom its construction had been confided by the Emperor, suggested by its gloomy magnificence the famous Bucentaur of which such strange stories are still) recounted by the fishermen of gondolierstcar—neither wa s of the lagoons. ItC hliyoagsg not a b the a it a raft; but a strange sombr e m i xture of all aand o t olderit was no three, like to n othing 1 ever saw, an d possessing a _ weird cachet of its own. Let me try and describe it to you. An oblong square chest, itself something in shape like a coffin, apparently floating on the surface of the water, but really built on a huge broad-bottomed boat, no plank of which, however, is visible, the black draperies depending from the upper part of the Bucentaur sweeping the face of the water. Upon the platform formed by the top of this enormous chest is built a raised dais shadowed by a lofty canopy, the four supports of which are life-size figures in full dead silver armour with closed vizors, resting against trophies of an cient war implements; on the dais a black velvet altar hedged round with enormous candles fitted into wooden sockets; and the apex of the canopy, a colossal Imperial crown . of gold, g l ow i ng in the morning otiu, Immediately forward 91 the clan a black and gold flagstaff, upon which, an the body was transferred from the frigate to the: 13u. centaur (I can find no other name for it) the Im perial standard was hoisted half-mast high. Again, forward of the flagstaff, a broad, square pedestal, about eight feet high, upon which couches a mighty silver lion, thrice the size of life, his heavy head re posing upon his paws. Beneath this typification of Royal grief a winged female figure, also in dead sil ver, stretching both arms towards the sea, a crown of laurel in each hand. Upon the sides of the dais coats of arms richly emblazoned ; and round the altar robed priests chanting sonorous hymns, and swinging censers slowly backwards and forwards. It was a lovely morning. Hundreds of boats glided about the bay. The squadron of light war-ships, drawn up in a semicircle, seemed to be guarding the catafalque from the rest of the world mourn fully but sternly. The Novara herself, every rope in its place save one hanging from the mainyard, presently to swing the Imperial coffin over her side. The dancing water flecked with sunbeams. All this made up a sight never to be forgotten. As half-past nine struck the boatswain's whistle sounded through the frigate, and a crimson-gold object rose majestically out of her breast, paused a moment in mid-air, and then descended slowly till it reached the altar on the Bucentaur, where it was received by the priests and covered with a white pall. This was the triple coffin containing the remains of the Emperor of Mexico. I should mention that his body is enclosed in a cooper coffin cornered with l aure l wreaths ; over the head of the corpse a golden cross is let in to the lid, and at its feet is inscribed, in letters of black, on a gold tablet, " Ferdinandus Maxi milianus, Arcidux Austria, natus in Schoen brunn, VI. Julij, MDCCCXXXII., qui Imperator Alexikanorum anno AIDCCCLXIV. electus, dira et cruenta nece Querattari XIX. Junij, MDCCCLXVII., heroica cum virtute iuteriit, ILS.E." The coffin of grenadillo comes next, and the whole is covered by a crimson velvet and gilt metal shell, in which it will be conveyed to Vienna. As soon as the tackle was loosened from the coffin, Tegethoff descended the companion ladder and took his place by the head of the corpse, eight commanders surrounding the dais with drawn swords. One by one the insignia before described were lowered down and arranged on the pall, the boats of the squadron got into position, and at a given signal the tiny tug attached to the Bucentaur shot out a ship's length ahead, stretching her tow rope till it quivered, and the solemn cortege moved gravely towards the shore. Boom 1 a 36-pounder gives the saluting signal from the Novara, and is mocked by pieces of various calibre from the other warships and the land batteries. From the arena of the Karst issues a rattle and a roar—the echo seems louder even than the report. Onward towards the Mole we row with slow and measured stroke. The Bucentaur looks an awful, living thing, Conscious of the tragedy whose victim it bears. The mere contrast of colour, the dead, frosty silver against the rich deep black, produces an effect inex pressibly melancholy ; the hollow suits of armour (their very emptiness is ghastly), the couching lion, the deep chant of the priests, the faint perfume of the incense hovering over the wake of the catafalque nothing could be more impressive, nothing more mournful. We arrived at the Mole before the body, and found every inch of the long pier occupied by a crowd of official personages, waiting to accompany the procession to the station. Close to the laud ing-stage about twenty Franciscan friars, with long brown robes, shaven polls, and flowing beards, formed the vanguard of a small clerical army clad in the variegated garments of the Roman Church. A car (a description of which I forwarded in a former letter) was drawn up ready to receive the corpse ; but the six gigantic stallions were not harnessed to it—they were some distance off on the quay, rearing, rpranciug, and kicking at every fresh discharge of powder. As soon as the body had been let down from the Bacentaur over an in clined plane to its place in the car, where it was prayed over at great length by the clergy, 1 left the Mole, wishing to see the procession on laud, from a window in the town. Walking along the line of march, I noticed that not only were all th e houses hung with black and silver draperies, but that every person in the streets, rich or poor, had mounted some outward sign of mourning. All the shops were shut, and the whole population had turned out to take a last look at the coffin of its well-beloved Prince. The procession was na turally military in its character —three battalions of the 67th (Hungarian), one battalion of Wimp ffen (Croat), one battalion marines, and one of Coast artillery; the municipality of Trieste, headed by the town banner, an ancient emblem of its liberties, presented to it by the Emperor Charles VI. ; the Archdukes on foot ; three mili tary bands; the car, guarded by officers carrying lighted tapers ; and, lastly, a huge body of mag nates, consuls, officers, chamberlains, Lloyd's cap tains, bankers, merchants, nobles of all nations (except England and France), all massed together iu inextricable confusion, headed by Tegethoff, the general commanding, and the great officials of the Household. Beethoven's Dead March, played alternately by tho regimental orchestras, furnished music well worthy even of so imposing a spectacle. From the thousands of gazers lining the pave ment on either side the roadway not a sound arose ; silent and sorrowful they saw the long cortege pass by, and then dispersed as noiselessly as though they had been treading holy ground. Arrived at the station, the body was placed on the open car prepared for it ; the persons appointed to accompany the late Emperor to his last resting place were distributed over a train of unusual length ; the local notabilities took leave of the Arc hdukes and of their friends; and shortly afterwards the company of mourners started on their long and painful journey. As far as Trieste is concerned, the last act of Maximilian's terrible drama was played out ; and, all honour having been paid to his earthly remains, nothing is left to those he has so materially benefited but the remembrance of a good, gentle, and heroic gentleman. It is true that the navy he made and organised will be here before their eyes for many a year to remind them of him ; that his eternal repose will be solicited from Heaven by hundreds of poor Triestini over whom his generous hand has been stretched out full and withdrawn empty. Everything connected with this ceremony has been tastefully imagined and well carried out, but I cannot forbear expressing my astonishment and regret with respect to two wrongs, one.of omission and the other of commission, which have caused I great pain to many of the Archduke's best friends. The first is that the British Government should not have thought fit to send a man-of war to Trieste for the ceremony. To me it appears inconceivable that a frigate should not have been detached from our Mediterranean fleet to pay a tribute of English respect to a Prince who was so well known in England as a thorough sailor, and whose deplorable fate has awakened more real sympathy in Great Britain than any where else. That the French flag was absent no body regretted ; but people did believe that Old England, the maritime nation par excellence, would manifest her esteem for the man who created the only navy, save her own, that has done anything worth speaking of in modern times. The wrong of commission is that the authorities of Trieste per mitted a masked ball to be held in the Armonia Theatre last night—at which ball a military band performed for the delectation of a company com posed of the lowest snobs and "gay" women — whilst the Novara was anchored in the bay with an Imperial corpse—that of Trieste's benefactor—lying in mournful state, surrounded by weeping friends and relations. A new weekly newspaper, chiefly dcvoted to the interests of joint stock companies, entitled The Commer cial Review, has just made its appearance. It is well and sensibly written ; the information it conveys is copious and reliable; and the object of its conductors seems to be to "speak out" fearlessly and disinterestedly. The new paper is excellently printed, and it bears about it all the elements of a sound and lasting success. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nial Office from the Governor-General of Canada, and from the Governors of Malta, British Columbia, the Cape 9i CigiAl hope, awl fit. ILO= . - LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. EQUITY. TUE ttIGHTS OP SURETIES AS CREDITORS.—The right if a surety to claim as a creditor against the estate of his fellow non-paying bondsman was made the subject of dis cussion in the court of the Master of the Rolls in a suit for an administration decree against the trustees of the estate of a Mr. Cochran. In the year 1854 a Mr. De Wolf joined in a bond for £2,000 with Mr. Cochran, which was deposited with the notorious Royal British Bank, of which the latter was a director. Mr. Cochran having fled the country in 1856, Mr. De Wolf, on the 21st of January in the following year, was called upon to pay £l,OOO on the bond, and in the following April he discharged the remainder of the liabilities. In July 1857 Mr. Cockrane became a bankrupt, and his surety had his claim allowed under the proceedings. The bankruptcy, however, was not proceeded with, and Mr. Cochran having died in May 1862, Mr. De Wolf now prayed the court to order the deceased's estate to be ad ministered and his claim discharged from the proceeds. Under ordinary circumstances the debt would, of course, have been barred by•the statute of limitations ‘ Lut it was argued that contracts entered into between bondsmen are possessed of a special character. The whole matter turned upon the construction of the clauses relating to sureties contained in the Act passed in June 1856 ; and Lord Romilly decided that the administration decree must be made as prayed. THE GENERAL EXCHANGE BANK.—An application was made to the Master of the Rolls, on behalf of the liquida tor of the General Exchange Bank, to compel the General Provident Assurance Company to carry out an agreement entered into between the two companies on the 23rd of Nov., 1866. The General Provident Assurance Company arranged to purchase the business of the General Exchange Bank for a sum amounting to £60,000 or £70,000, the money to be forthcoming in instalments. A portion of the busi ness of the Exchange Bank consisted of advances made upon mortgace, and the agreement sought to be enforced provided that Mr. Hayward, the manager of the General Provident Assurance Company, should hand over weekly to the liquidator of the Exchange Bank all moneys received on account of those mortgages. This was done for some time, but disputes arose between the two com panies. A bill was then filed to compel specific perform ance, and on the 17th June, 1867, the Master of the Roll Appointed a receiver. 'The ground of resistance to th application was that the Exchange Bank had failed to give good titles to the mortgages in question. It was suggested by his lordship that it would be a wise course for the National Assurance Company to consent, pending the hearing of the suit, to pay the money into the hands of the receiver—a course which was virtually agreed to. but not definitely arranged until the representatives el the two companies had been consulted. THE LIABILITY OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—A question affecting the liability of the directors of a railway coin' pany who enter into expenses after the appointment of a receiver by the Court of Chancery, was raised in Vice Chancellor Wood's court in the case of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway Company. The company being in diffi culties a receiver was nominated by the court, to whom au rates and tolls were to be paid, and by whom all necessary ex penses were to be defrayed. A new board of director, bavingifeen elected, they considerably reduced the costs of ....Lu c; the company, obtaining the services of a secretar3 t salary of £250, instead of £BOO, and materially lessening amounts payable to other officers. They, however tamed the tenancy of a furnished house, at a rental of 190 per annum, in the Blackfriars-road, at which the itieetings of the company were held. This was eventually Elven up, when it was found that the chance of its being required for the new street from Blackfriars to the Man [Jon House was remote, and another house at a rent of 25 per annum taken. Some other expenses were alsc t'tncurred. These a creditor objected to bei,,,aid by the court.—The Vice Chancellor held that after the appoint invent of the receiver the directors ought only to have Lncurre - 1 expenses absolutely necessary, and disallowed th( unt of the house after the first quarter. The new renta Ira, however, sanctioned. COMMON LAW. ACTION AGAINST THE METROrOLITAN RAILWAY COM PANT.—In the court of C..enmon Pleas this morning, be fore Lord Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Willes, Byles and Keating, the action of Banks and Son v. the Metro politan Railway Company was mentioned. It was broughi to recover compensation in damages for an alleged negli gence on the part of the railway company. Ltclg,ment had been given in favour of the plaintiff in the Lord Mayor's Court, and the present proceedings arose apon that judgment. Several of the pleas had beer objected to, and a rule nisi granted. This morning, on the motion for its being made absolute, Mr. Day said that it _evolved a most important question—that was, what con stituted a record in the Lord Mayor's Court. He con tended that the judgment must be lodged amongst the records of the court before action could be brought, an this rule had not in this case been complied with ; and eu he had had no opportunity of traversing the plaintiff's alle gation, he wished the motion to be tried before their lord ships. After a long consultation, the court appointed nexl Tuesday on which to hear the arguments. POLICE INTEHLIGENOE.—This MANSION HOUSE. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER —James Royce, described as a commercial traveller, lat. of Barnet, Herts, was charged before Alderman Hale, at the MansiOn House, with uttering a forged cheque.—Or the afternoon of Saturday, the 13th December, the pri' soner entered the shop of the Commercial Clothing Cora pally, in Cheapside, and obtained three suits of boys clothing on approbation, the arrangement being that he was to select one of the suits and return the other two. agreed to leave as security £3 10s., and is payment of the sum tendered a cheque on Robarts, Lub rock, and Co., bankers, for £lO, receiving the difference £6 10s. On Monday morning he returned two of the suit; c.,nd retained one, the price of 'Which was 255. He tiler tieceived the balance between this and the £3 10s. left a; , security. The cheque was afterwards presented at th( oank, but was dishonoured.—A clerk from Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co. stated that the prisoner haJ had a small account, but at their request it was closed in September 1866. Since then several cheques had been pre sented bearing the prisoner's signature, but they had beer returned.—Mr. Alderman Hale committed him for trial. CLERKENWELL. THE DANGERS or 13. u) ComrANv.--At the Clerkenweil Police-court, this day, James Light and Sasan Adam! were charged before Mr. Cooke with stealing a watch from Mr. Cilling, a whitesmith, of Northumberland-street, Strand.--The prosecutor at first declined to prosecute, but the magistrate said he would hear the evidence. It then appeared that on the previous evening Mr. Gilling went to the Holborn Circus with his wife, whom he left in the middle of the performance to get some ale for himself. He was already drunk, and when he got into the tavern he fell into the company of some unfortunates, whom he treated. When he became too drunk to look after himself, the women took charge of him, and, assisted by two men, brought him to their house, rifled his pockets, stole hip watch, and outrageously maltreated him. They were seen on the staircase doing so by another unfortunate, who now attended to give evidence, and proved that Light and Adams were striking the prosecator and rifling his pockets. The prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THREATENING AND ASSAULTING A WITNESS.-At Marl borough-street, Henry Bacon, a labourer, living in Saville. street, Marylebone, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with two other men, named George Pybus and Charles Dunn, in threatening Alfred Gilland, traveller, in the employ of Mr. Still, ginger-beer manu. facturer, of Wells-street, Oxford-street. The complainant, who was some years ago a witness against Dunn, was on the evening of thel4th with his brother in his van in Saville-street Marylebone, when the three men above-named came up tci him, and BAcon, after remarking, " There's the Gillands," stopped the horse. Pybus then got into the van, and struck the complainant's brother, and Dunn drew a knife and threatened to stab the complainant for " lagging " (transporting) him for five years. The complainant jumped out of the van to get away from Dunn, when Bacon put out his leg and tried to throw the complainant. down. Dunn, who is a "ticket-of-leave," having been convicted of burglary, and Fybus, who has • several times been convicted, were brought before the magistrate and held to bail in £2O each, and Bacon was taken into custody last night by Police constable Tooley, 16 E. The prisoner, wh o ma d e no de fence, was fined 40 s. or a month, Mr. Tyrwhitt remark i ng that persons who were witnesses ' always rece i v e every protection at his hands. A COLLIERY OWNER FINED. ---The Stoke-On-Trent magistrates have imposed a fine of £5 and costs upon Mr. William Bowers, owner of the Berry fill Colliery, for neglecting to provide adequate ventilation in the pit.
