CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Railway Share Market is very animated in connection with the settlement, which commenced this morning and will conclude on Friday after noon. The scarcity of the more speculative stocks is very great, and as much as 18 per cent. per annum has been paid to defer the delivery of Metropolitan for a fortnight. Midland shares are also scarce. In proportion as railway stocks grow iu disfavour, the Funds and Foreign Government Securities meet with increased demand. Consols are consequently higher than yesterday ; and in Foreign Stocks a substantial advance has been establislicU in several of the more speculative de scriptions. The discount demand shows no change, in spite of the approach of the 4th of the mouth. The rate is still 11 to la per cent. The Corn Market is steady.

At a meeting of the board of directors of the E!ectric and international Telegraph Company, held this day, it was resolved to recommend t) the proprietors at the general meeting to be held at the Company's office, Telegraph street, Moorgate-street, on Wednesday, the sth day of February next, to confirm a dividend of £5 per cent. for the last half-year free of income-tax. CITY, TWELVE o'CLOCE. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The Mexican dollars received by the Douro have been sold at an advance of id, the price obtained being 59d per ounce. The proposed dividend of the Colchester and Stour Valley Railway Company is at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum. _ _ The Albion Bank (Limited), have declared a divi dend for the past half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.

The committee of the main line shareholders of the Chatham and Dover Railway Company have issued a report to their constituents recounting the legal steps taken last year to recover their object and their failure. The expenses incurred have absorbed the funds placed at their disposal, and as there are fur ther proceedings which the committee think likely to be advantageous, fresh contributions are solicited. The traffic receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway for the week ending the 11th inst., show an increase of £683, and those of the Great Luxemburg for the Week ending the 26th inst., au increase of £BB3. The Master of the Rolls has made an order, on the petition of debenture holders, for the winding up of the Pooley Hall Colliery Company (Limited), under the supervision of the court. Mr. F. Hunter, of Dacup, and Mr. H. G. Nicholson, of Manchester, were appointed liquidators. The following is an extract from the Circular or Messrs. Henry Clews and Co., dated New York, Jan. 8, 1868 : " We have much pleasure in being able to congratulate out friends upon an improved tone of business at the open ing of the year. In some quarters, there was a vague idea that 1867 was to be marked by a great panic ; and the failure of the event to respond to the expectation natu rally tends to relieve prevailing fears. The severe mone tary spasms of late months have left behind fewer traces of injury than might have been anticipated. The succession of small panics which distinguished 1867 are regarded less as the consequence of the present de ranged condition of affairs than as due to the arbitrary Withdrawal of a large amonnt of the circulating medium ; and now that the Secretary of the Treasury has tem porarily suspended contraction, and Congress appears dis posed to repeal the authorisation for retiring the legal tender currency, it is felt that business is freed from its chief embarrassment ; and the tone of feeling, alike in trading and in financial circles, is comparatively buoyant. Capi talists, though by no means satisfied that the present con dition of affairs is' incapable of improvement, are yet above everything desirous that, for a time, they may be exempted from the unsettling effects of legislative changes in matters of finance and commerce. For the last five years their calculations have been constantly baffled by , modifications in the laws affecting banking, revenue, cur rency, and foreign commerce ; and after this protracted dis couragement, they are willing to forego the possible advan tage of many supposed improvements on late legislation, in order that they may have stability in the conditions under Which they operate. Fortunately, the present indications encourage the expectation that, beyond a few changes ad• witted on all bands to be imperatively necessary, Congress Well do little this session materially affecting the present situation of affairs ; and this consideration materially tends to encourage the revival of confidence."

SPECIAL CONSTABLES IN THE CITY.—It is under stood that notice has been given to the effect that the Lord Mayor does noc at present consider it necessary to con tinue the enrolment of special constables for the City, but should any occasion arise a special day will be appointed for that purpose. It may be added that the distribution of staves to those who have been already sworn in will be commenced immediately. ALTERATION IN THE NEW MAIL SERVICE.—The time-table originally prepared for the new postal service having proved in some respects unsatisfactory as regards the Australian mails, a now table, slightly altered, has been issued by the Peninsular and Oriental Company at the re quest of Government. Under the previous arrangement the inward Australian mail would have arrived three or four days after the despatch of the outward one, causing a delay of more than three weeks in answering the home ward letters. In order to obviate this, the second outward China mail under the new contract, which would have been despatched on Friday, the 20th March, is postponed until Friday, the 27th. There will thus be an interval of three weeks instead of a fortnight between the two March mails for China, but after that they will leave London every alternate Friday, in accordauco with the original scheme.—London and China Telegraph.

CATIIBIZIDGESIIIRE AND ISLE OF ELY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The annual meeting of this society was held on Monday, at Cambridge. Lord Royston, M.P., occupied the chair. The Duke of Rutland was elected president for the year; and Colonel Duncombe, S. Newton, and 11. Thurnall, Esqs., vice-presidents. The report spoke of the success which attended the show held at Wisbech last year, and that there was now a balance in favour of the society of 0£43 Gs 10d, while the arrears were £9O 123. It was agreed that the next annual show of the societ y should be held at Newmarket, in July, the day to be fixed upon at a future meeting. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE—DAMAGES itt i tl. l l h o i o c . h — t A he ll l a i c o t i n o . n l f v o i r l l b i a r e m a c o Bruce ni e promise Ogilvy,of r marriage, g Cowden House, Perthshire, was defendant, and Miss Fanny Pugh, residing at the North Western Hotel, Stafford, was pursuer, was tried before Lord Barcaple and a jury, in the Court of Session , at Edinburgh, yesterday. The pursuer is daughter of th e late Ben jamin Pugh, of Treberth, Pembrokeshire, gentleman she was managing the Crewe Arms Hotel, at her, and, when the defender became acquainted wi th and, as she alleged, not only promised marriage, but wrote to Mr. Halsey, in whose employment she then was, a letter announcing that he was to be married to Miss Pugh, and that he hoped he would be able *to dispense with her services under the usual month's warning. The defender subsequently broke off the engagement, and in 1866 married Sarah Boyden, daughter of the late Henry Boyden, of Bir mingham, pew-opener at the Jewish Synagogue. Damages were laid at £5,000 ; the jury returned a verdict for £1,200. 003131ITYAL OF PRECOCIOUS CRIMINALS.-011 Satur day a suns of about £24 was stolen from a butcher's shop at Castletown, Stafford, under extraordinary circumstances. It seems that during the morning the manager hung up his coat in the shop, there being in one of the pockets a bag containing the sum in ques tion. Shortly afterwards the bag was found to have been stolen. In the course of Sunday nine lads (eight of whom are under thirteen years of age, and one or more only eight years old), a young girl of fourteen, and her mother, were apprehended upon suspicion of being concerned in the theft. The accused were brought before the magistrates yesterday, when it was shown that two of the lads, Thomas Emery and John Keeling, were in the shop on the day named, and stole the money bag. The whole of the prisoners were proved to have been at various public-houses together on Saturday night and Sunday morning, and to have been served with brandy and other drinks. They also amused themselves by gambling. The children next visited the house of the elder female prisoner, where they again engaged in drinking and gambling, and one of the lads was seen to give the woman, whose name is Jane Kelly, some money. The pri soners, with the exception of one of the lads, were committed for trial. Upon the delinquents being handed into the prison van, they were loudly cheered by the rabble congregated. MR. MILNER GIBSON AND nrs CONSTITUENTS.— The Right Hon. Milner Gibson addressed a large meeting of his constituents at Ashton last night, the Mayor presiding. The right hon. gentleman expressed his views on all the prominent topics of the day, his speech occupying an hour and a half. He believed our commercial difficulties were but temporary, and attributed them in part to our neglect to stipulate for free exchange in our colonies when we granted them self-government. He feared the new Confederation would extend the Canadian protective duties to the adjacent colonies. Referring to Reform, Mr. Gibson characterised personal rating as a delusive attempt at restriction—the £l2 county franchise to a limit that could not be maintained ; and the minority vote an unconstitutional innovation which he hoped would speedily be removed. After advocating the ballot as urgently required, he proceeded to review the education questions, and expressed his desire to co-operate with Mr. Bruce, preferring for his own part a rating system and secular schools. Respecting Irish affairs, he would favour a closer union than ever with England. He would abolish the useless vice-royalty. He deplored the un due ascendancy of classes in Ireland, and regarded Fenlanism as the bitter fruit of Irish misgovernment, and of our mistaken course during the American war. He believed the Alabama controversy would be re served for settlement by a new government both in America and England, who would be unpledged and unfettered by the past utterances of their predeces sors in office.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL to-day showed cause against the rule obtained by Mr. Coleridge calling upon the Crown to show cause why the trial of the three defendants should not take place at the Cen tral Criminal Court, and not as was now the wish of the Crown at Warwick. The learned gentleman proceeded to show that the present arrangements would best suit the convenience of all parties, and more particularly so as the technical grounds would best be argued at Warwick. He was not disposed to absolutely object to the removal of the trial to London, but he could not assent to that proposal if it was supposed or alloged that a perfectly fair and impartial trial could not be had at Warwick. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said one of the prisoners (Casey) stated that he bad twenty witnesses to call, most of whom were resident in London. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should object to the trial of any one of the three prisoners singly in London. Casey alleged that he intended to call twenty witnesses, but he did not state the name of a single one. Mr. COLERIDGE, in support of the rule, said he never intended it to be thought that a perfectly fair trial could not be had in London. He then referred to the trial of ➢lr. Hu nt, and said the result of the trial of these three pri soners was far beyond a conviction in their case, supposing it was to take place. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after referring with the other judges, said the Court was of opinion that the rule must be made absolute. Under all the circumstances, considering that the attornies for the prisoners resided in London, and it would be a great expence for them to have to incur, especially as it would be necessary for those gentlemen to be in frequent communication with their clients. The witnesses were mostly resident in London, and as the removal of the trial was not strongly objected to by the Attorney-General, the court thought the Central Criminal Court would the best place for the trial to take place. The Court would there fore make an order for the remission of the indict ment against the prisoners,when found at Warwick, to London for trial. In making these observations the Court was not at all acting on the supposition that a fair trial could not be had at Warwick. The other learned judges on the bench, Justices Shee, Blackburn, and Lush, were of the same lopinion. OPCABE v. RUBIN'. This action came on for trial to-day before Mr. Justice Byles in the Court of Common Pleas. It was to recover the balance of an account which had arisen between the two public entertainers during the tenantry by the latter of one of the minor rooms of the Egyptian-hall, of which the flaintiff was lessee. The amount in question was £22 10s. Frederick M'Cabe said—ln the mouth of De cember Philip Rubini made an arrangement to take the minor Egyptian-hall, of which he (M‘Cabe) was lessee, at the rate of £5O a-month, and commenced his performance on the 2d of October. lie con tinued to do so for a fortnight, when matters turned out somewhat non-successful. He (M'Cabe) told Rubini the arrangement must end ; but being de sirous, as Rubini was a young entertainer, he after wards agreed to take £l2 10s. per week, he (Ru bini) undertaking to meet the current expenses of the week. It was arranged that the first money taken nightly at the doors should go in redemption of rent and arrears, and that the profit, if any, was to go to Rubini. This arrange men t continued until the 7th of November, when he (M'Cabe) gave Rubini notice'to quit. At that time the sum owing was £22 16s. Mr. Sutton, Mr. M'Cabe's acting manager, proved the defendant entering into an arrangement to pay £l2 10s. a week as rent for the room, together with £5 weekly in redemption of the former loss, and that he (Rubini) was to pay the gas bill, &c. Oa the 9th Nov., how ever, Rubini received notice to quit, when he turned Mr. M'Cabe's money-taker out of the box by force, and took the money paid at the doors himself. (Laughter.) At the time Rubini quitted the Egyptian Hall there was a sum of £22 10s. due for rent, and that was the sum the recovery of which was now sought. Mr. Hershall, for the defendant, contended that the action was brought for the recovery of " rent," and had been deducted every week from the re ceipts, and he contended that the plaintiff could not recover the £22 claimed as the balance due under the old agreement. There was a debt also due to the amount of £l9 for printing still remaining un paid, which was incurred during the first arrange ment. The Judge thought the better way was for Mr. M'Cabe to discharge that bill, and then he advised the jury to give a verdict in his favour for £l5. This, however, was objected to by the other side, and the whole matter then went to the jury. They had not returned their verdict when we went to press. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) (Before Mr. Justice Shee.) THE MURDER IX LAMBETH. Thomas Clark, 27, labourer, who had pleaded guilty at the last session to the wilful murder of a child named Alice Smith, was placed at the bar to receive' judgment. The prisoner was then formally called upon to state whether he had anything to say why judg ment of death should not be passed upon him. lie made no reply. The learned judge then assumed the black cap, and passed sentence of death in the usual form. STATE op TRADE. LEEDS, 28th.—The cloth-halls to-day have been but thinly attended, and the chief operations were in union coatings and tweeds. Some buyers from Bradford and Huddersfield took some fair parcels, the former for exportation. The market for tweeds is much deficient as compared with last year, espe cially as regards the superior qualities. Orders are slacker in this department than manufacturers have known them to be for a long time past. This may be owing to the success with which the cotton warp goods are finished. In plain cloths there is the same flatness as has been noticed on former oc casions ; and all wool superfines only meet with occasional purchasers. Han-lists of the best kind have been more saleable in the white cloth-hall than any other woollen goods. Prices of all fabrics keep steady. CARDIFF, 2717. —Shipments of steam coal slightl:,, increased during the latter part of last week, but the trade is at present somewhat quieter. This is mainly owing to the unfavourable weather, which has prevented the arrival of a large amount of ton nage. The principal clearances have been to the East., and it is highly probable that inquiries from that quarter will shortly become more numerous, the demand for coal at the mail packet stations having of late been greater than the supply. France has not diminished her purchases, an d there is every prospect of her continuing a good customer. Inquiries from some of the Mediterranean ports are more numerous, and freights are firmer than they have been for a considerable time. Dulness characterises the house coal trade. and freights are low. It is generally believed that the colliers employed in the house coal pits will accept the proposed reduction of wages, hut it is not quite clear what action the steam coal men will take, and mass meetings are to be held this week in order to arrive at a decision. At the ironworks there is no favourable change to note, and, irrespective of carrying out the drop, a number of additional hands have been discharged, which causes much distress to be experienced among the working classes. Tin plates are a shade firmer. the quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f . 151 per El sterling. , 113. 0 Jniparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 i'rs. UV. per ounce for standard. gold, it appears that gold le nearly one-tenth dearer ill rani than In Lyndon. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Wagstaffe, and Mary Andrews Wag staff e, his wife, surrendered t o ta k e t h e i r t r i a l f ur the manslaughter of Lois Wagstaffe. Several wituesses having been examined, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. TURKEY AND CRETE.—The new plan of adminis trative and judiciary regulations which the Porte proposes to establish in Crete is thus summed up by the Vienna Correspondence:—" The island shall in future be divided into five departments—Canea, Sphakia, Retimo, Caudia, and Lassitha—and into 20 districts, each subdivided into communes. The governors and under-governors, Chris tians or Turks, shall be appointed by the Porte. A go vernor general will administer the affairs of the island, with the assistance of a council and of two councillors, one Christian and the other Mahometan. The residence of the Governor General will be at Cauca. Every Christian governor will have a Mussulman deputy, and reciprocally. The council will be composed of—besides the two coun cillors—appointed functionaries, of archbishops, and of six elected members, three Christians and three Turks. No administrative measure shall be applied without the ap proval of the council. The latter will also exercise con trol over the imposition and collection of taxes, the budget generally, litigation respecting territorial bou n d ar i es , an d questions arising out of municipal elections. The council to have the right of remonstrating with tho Governor General within a certain limit." WRECK AT DUNWICH.—The following is an ex tract from the official report of the wreck of the Equity:— " 1 beg to inform you that the brigantine Equity, of and from Sunderland, coal laden, master William Embleton, owner John Ward, left Aldeburgh Bay at eleven on th' night of the 24th instant, and was wrecked two miles south of Dunwich, at midnight. The crew, consisting of five hands, were most gallantly saved by the Coast Guard and Dunwich Life-saving Company, who succeeded, after once filling the boat belonging to the fisherman, in going off and taking the whole of the crew from the rigging in an exhausted state, and landing them safe at Dunwich The 121 b. rocket acted well, but the wreck was too far off for the rocket to reach her.

G. MILE MATCH FOR. £2O AT BIRMINGHAM.-011 Satur day last the Brums turned out in shoals to witness a match of considerable interest between Mr. C. Wyvill's black pony Little Wonder, 12 hands lin.—a beautifully developed animal—and Mr. George Hook's brown cob, 14 hands, for £lO a-side. The course was from the fourth to the third milestone homewards on the Walsall road ; time, two o'clock, prompt. At 245 they appeared on the score, both being ridden—the pony by young Johnson, a very " jock ;" the cob by " Bos," well known in trotting circles. They were at once despatched, the little-'un getting off best, and retaining the lead at a slashing pace for some 300 yards, when a length of stony ground upset his calculations, and to avoid the same he swerved right across the road, thus giving an advantage to his opponent, which was at (taco accepted, but the pace being too much forced, the cob broke into a gallop, which was continued almost uninter ruptedly to nearly half distance. At that point the pony, being called on, spurted beautifully forward, and soon passed the cob, gradually increasing the distance between them, and eventually winning by about 30 yards, which might have been considerably more bad not a "horsy" character, in the most unsportsmanlike manner, attem p tod to ride the gallant little thing down. Time 3 min. 13 sec. Mr. W. Martin, Duke of Camb rid g e, Groat King-street, acted in a most satisfactory manner as referee. A consi derable sum was invested at 30 to 20 on the little 'un, but while on the score even money was laid..

BOW-STREET. [Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.] Alexander Chisholm—l am a constable in the Glasgow police, 141 A. On the 14th of January I was on duty near the Green, Glasgow. My attention was attracted by a noise early in the morning ; it was like the report of fire-arms. I heard three reports, and the noise of the snap of the cock of a pistol. I heard the balls whistle as they passed me. Another constable named Cham bers was on duty at this time with me. We both smelt powder. I went in the direction of the sound, and found two men with their backs to the Green and their faces toward the Clyde. The men were Barrett and O'Neil. I asked them if they had heard any firing, and O'Neil said SOlll3 boys at the moment had been firing away squibs. I said it could not be a squib as it sounded like a ride. O'Neil asked me if I was a military nun, to which I replied that I was not. Sir 'l2. Henry—Were you in plain clothes? Witness—No, sir, I was in uniform. O'Neil said he thought so, as I di 1 nit know the sound of a rilh. I told him I was certain it was ipt a squib that I hal heard. I then asked him how lo ig ho had been standing where I was talking to him, when B trrett replied, " Oh, only four or five minutes." O'Neil said they had come running down the Saltinarket across the gaol square. I said, " You could not have been standing there so long, as I have just been past." O'Neil said, " Never mind, let's have some drink." The other constable said, " There's no drink in the matter, let us see about this." I then said to both, " You had better come to the office." O'Neil said, " Very well." I took charge of Barrett and the other constable O'Neil. O'Neil was on my left side, between me and the river Clyde, and as we were going along Barrett said, " You had batter come to my lodging, and get my character." I said, " No, come to the office, and they'll see to that." Barrett said, " YOU con stables are very officious." I replied, " How ?" To which he said, " Why, by interfering with peo ple that's quiet and peaceable." I said, "We have to do that at times." Barrett then said, "I could do you some harm if I like." To which I said, "You can't blame a man for doing his duty." We then walked along for some time, when he made a spring from my side. lle had his hands in each pocket. When ha got to the iron railings he made a motion as if ho was throwity , something away. I saw something in his right hand, but I could not say what it was. I pulled him back, and asked him what he meant by such conduct, when Barrett said, " I want a swim or two," but I told him I would prevent him from doing that. I took the prisoner to the station, but all that was found upon him was a pipe and tobacco pouch. In consequence of the inspector knowing nothing more than we told him both Barrett and O'Neil were discharged. Barrett gave his address 65, Crown-street. I afterwards went to see where I had observed Barrett to make the spring, and there I found a revolver, which I produce. It is a five-chamber revolver, two of which are still loaded. When I picked it up I saw there was a cap on one of the nipples. I did not examine the pistol to see whether it had been recently discharged. I took the pistol to the station,when both prisoners were again apprehended the same evening at the address given by Barrett. They were kept in custody in Glasgow until they were removed by authority of a warrant signed by Sir T. Henry. Barrett's lodgings were searched, and some papers were found which are now in the possession of Inspector Williamson. Two packets of cards were also found, a large and a small one ; all were given to Mr. Williamson. Sir T. Henry—Were both living together in the same lodgings ? Witness—Yes, sir. By Mr. Lewis—There were three reports, and they all occurred within half an hour. I should say that Barrett was trying to get rid of the pistol when he made the spring from me. I had seen him for some time working away at his pockets. It never occurred to me at the time to see what he had got in his pockets. Barrett got six or seven yards from me when he made the spring, but I was sharp after him. Mr. Lewis--Do you mean to say he jutnpe I away from you six yards at once ? Sir T. Henry—You can hardly be serious in putting the question. It is not the way to get in formation. Mr. Lewis—l only wish to get all the information I can, and put the question merely to get an ex planation from the witness. Robert Chambers—l am a police-constable sub stitute, and I was with the last witness oa the 14th of January on Glasgow-green. I heard the shots fired; and saw the prisoners O'Neil and Barrett taken into custody. When we got to the st ttion I searched O'Neil and found some money on him, and a copy of the Irishman newspaper. Both men were on the first occasion discharged. I was with Chisholm when he found the pistol, and the same morning I and Chisholm went, in plain clothes, to the address 65, Crown-street. Tne Lieutenant searched the lodgings, and I only lent a hand. I saw the cards (produced) found, and also some copies of the Irishman newspaper. The card was read, the following being an exact copy : IN MMIORIA.II RELIQUISTEIi.

GOD SAVE IRELAND—AND HER PEOPLE. Dublin, Ist Dec., 1867. Scripsit J. W. Mr. Giffard—That is all I propose doing in the present case to-day. I have now to ask for another remand. Sir T. Henry—Very well. All the prisoners are remanded for a week. THE CHARGE AGAINST CLANCY. James Patrick Clancy was then placed at the bar charged with attempting to murder two police officers named Chown and Chamberlain. Mr. Giffard said he proposed now to call evidence to show the antecedents of the prisoner, and then he should ask for his committal to the Old Bailey for trial. The following evidence was then taken : S2rgeant Richard Griffiths—l belong to the Royal Engineers. I enliste d the prisoner Clancy on the 25th of October, 1864, at Westminster. I have not seen him since I enlisted him, so I cannot say how long he remained in the corps. He gave the name of Patrick James Clancy. Sergeant Instructor William Cottrell, of the Roy a l Engineers, said—l know the prisoner ;he was in the corps of Engineers. I have drilled him. I last saw him in the regiment in the latter of en , 1865. Ile was a very efficient member of our amateur club. lie deserted in 1866. Frederick Purdy, Colour-Sergeant, Royal Engi- Le ers —When I was company sergeant the prisoner was in my company. He is a deserter from the re giment since the Ist of January, 1866. He deserted from Chatham. John Ilurst—l reside at 27, Chester-mews, Regent's-park, and am a gentleman's coachman. On Saturday, the 18th of the present month, I was passing through Bedford-square about eight o'clock, my son Thomas being with me. I heard the report of a pistol. I was then opposite No. 44 in the square, which is between Caroline-street and Char lotte-street. After I had heard the report of the pistol, I heard a cry of " Stop thief, stop thief, stop, murder." I turned round and saw the prisoner running towards me. I caught hold of him by the collar, and guy() him a tiuddeu pal, but I lost my hold. I f o ll owe d hi m into the road, wherol caught him the second time. The instant I caught him he fired a pistol. I noticed afterwards that my fingers were quite black. Up to this time I had not noticed anything in his hands. I saw Chamberlain the constable directly after this occurred. He came up to the prisoner, who was thrown into the road. I saw Chamberlain take a pistol from the prisoner. Just before the officer came up I said to the prisoner, " You shot at me, you shot at me, you vagabond ; you tried to shoat me !" Chown and Chamberlain, the two officers, then came up. Cross-examined—l could not say how the pistol was pointed. I know it was a full explosion, and that it did not go off by accident in the struggle. I believe the prisoner deliberately pointed the weapon at me directly I caught hold of him. He held the pistol in his right hand. Sir T. Henry (to witness)--I think it right to compliment you upon your great firmness and courage.' You did great service. Viritnes3—Thank you, sir. William Davis—l am a compositor. On the night in question I was in Gower-street near the pillar letter-box on the north side of Bedford-square. I heard the report of fire-arms. The noise came from the front of me. I was running down the square when I saw the fi.ish and heard another report. I was very much frightened. I afterwards saw two persons running, namely, Sergeant Chowu and Chamberlain. I heard a cry like " Stop him." I came up after the capture, and on seeing the pri soner I exclaimed in surprise, " What ! Clancy ?" Before I got up I should say that I heard two reports, and afterwards a noise like a crack as if the weapon had not gone off. I said to Sergeant Chown, " I know the man, his name is Clancy." Chown said, " All right, we've got him." I have worked with the prisoner at Woodfall and Kinder's, printers, in Milford-lane. It was in the latter end of '66. I also worked with him on the Morning Star. He told me he was a deserter from the American army. I think he said the Federal army. Cross-examined—The pistol was pointing up in the air, I should say, while the struggle was going on ; at least I should say so from what I saw. I never asked the prisoner whether he had not been a sol dier. I never asked the prisoner what he had been, but he distinctly told me without the slightest solicitation that he had either been. in the Federal or Confederate army. I told my next companion in the office of the circumstance. We compositors work pretty close together. Sir T. Henry—There is not much light in Bed ford-square to enable people to see much. Mr. Giffard—l have several other witnesses, but they only prove the same thing. I will, however, just recall one of the previous witnesses. Constable William Chamberlain—l have since found that my overcoat is singed under the right arm. I showed the marks to Mr. Superintendent S earle. Mr. Giffard—That is the case for the prosecu tion. Sir T. Henry—You have heard the evidence against you. I am now about to commit you for trial. If you have now anything to say you had better do so. I must, however, tell you what ever you say will be taken down, and may be used against you at your trial. Prisoner—l reserve my defence. Mr. Burnaby, to the prisoner —You are formally remanded until this day week, on which occasion you will be committed for trial. Sir Thomas Henry called forward the two officers, Chown and Chamberlain, and told them he had received some subscriptions from a number of per sons who appreciated the courage they had dis played, and he should have great pleasure in hand ing it over to them. Chown—Thank you, sir. The prisoner was then removed. A MA UTELLO TOWER ATTACKED BY FEIN ANS. CORK, Jan. 28. Jonathan Allen, lately national schoolmaster, cousin of the convict of the same name who was executed at Manchester for the murder of Sergeant Brett, was arrested yesterday at Boherbuoy, county Limerick, for Fenianism. Others were unavailingly searched for, some of them Irish Americans. The Martello Tower No. 2, Duncannon Fort, Waterford Harbour, was attacked last night, about ten o'clock, by an armed party. The alarm signal having been fired, brought a military reinforcement, and shots were exchanged between the soldiers and the insurgents. The latter fled. No casualties reported ; but the military believe that their fire was effective. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.
