According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 90e. Firm. The Funds are rather below the final prices of yesterday from a few speculative sales based upon a continuance of political apprehensions on the continent, against which the public offer no resist ance by purchases. It is, however, held that a portion of the dividend money will be reinvested in Government Securities. In railways there is no particular change. The heavy stocks are quiet, and Caledonian has recovered, partially, from the minimum prices of yesterday. Foreign stocks con tinue steady. The discount market is quiet, and rates are tend ing downwards. The quotations for the best bills is 1i to 1 per• cent.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank o England yesterday. The Union has arrived from New York with £204,000 in specie from New York, and the Teutonia brings £3,721 for England. The half-yearly meeting of the East and West India Dock Company has been convened for the 17th inst., for the purpose of declaring a dividend. The numbers are published of 1,-237 bonds of the Consolidated Peruvian Five per Cent. Loan of 1865, amounting to £282,900, which have been drawn for repayment at par on the Ist of April. The following circular has been issued to the share holders of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway : "Atlantic and Great Western Railway Offices, 5 ) Westminster -chambers, Victoria-street, London, Vth January, 1868. Sir, I shall be obliged FY your permission to state that the report issued by a so-called committee of debenture holders of this railway has been forwarded by me to the board of directors, for instruction as to proceeding against its authors for libellous statements. I beg to add that active negotiations are in progress for an early resumption of payment of coupons, and such pro posals will be made .to the debenture-holders as will undoubtedly secure general accept ance, and thus restore the credit and posi tion of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. Since the appointment of the committee of invc3tiga tion it has been considered proper to refrain from any Official statements in reply to the wild charges so freely and continuously made against the company. In the meantime the railway has been recovering strength, and placing itself in such a condition as will shortly enable it to meet in an equitable spirit all just demands.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "L. J. WOODMAN, Secretary." The traffic receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, for the week ending December 14, show an increase of £493. A call of £3 per share has been made by the directors of the Natal Land and Colonization Com nanY, payable by instalments. The Directors of the Nottingham Joint Stock 13 ank have declared a dividend of five per cent. for the half-year ending 31st December last. The following is from Messrs. Hunt and King's Circular :—" At the opening of the past year there Was a fair prospect for the silk trade ; prices did not appear too high with such a small stock, and a fair demand was reasonably expected after the restricted business of the preceding year; the supply, how ever, proved ample, orders for the spring trade Were very limited, and manufacturers bought only for actual wants. In the month of February at the public sales a fall of 10 per cent. was established Which should have attracted a fair consumption, but although more general business ensued at some ad vance, yet there appeared no confidence, but a pre vailing apprehension of political complications and further commercial disasters. The month of May began with some promise of peace and a better state el ' e things, the severe weather also caused excite ment as to the fate of • the European crops, and speculative purchases forced prices to nearly those ?f January. The result was disappointment and heavy loss, as consumers on the Continent avoided Asiatic silk as much as possible, preferring their own, even at the increasing cost ; the market was also depressed by telegrams from China giving exaggerated estimates of the probable supply. Upon the arrival of the new China silk in August some business sprang up at a slight advance, to be again followed by a gloomy period of distrust and per plexity, till November, when the fall upon the medium and lower classes of silk approached 25 per cent. ; considerable purchases were then made for the Continent, and for about a month we had an active market, prices recovering about 10 per cent. Now there is very little doing, the in quiry being chiefly for the best sorts, particularly of Japan silk, which are at extreme rates. The statistics compared with 1866 show, in China silk, increased imports 7,500 bales or 29 per cent., and diminished deliveries about 1,000 bales ; in Japan silk little variation in the imports and a slight increase in the deliveries ; the aggregate stock is augmented by 3,600 bales, or 13 per cent. In Italian silk the imports and deliveries have been about 1,500 bales. In Brutia silk the imports and de liveries are scarcely 100 bales. In Persian silk the im ports are about 600 ballots and deliveries 900 ballots— stock 90 ballots. Waste silk has been neglected, and the prices have been almost nominal. From Shanghai the latest telegrams to the 7th December give the total settlements including Japans, about 36,000 bales —stock at Shanghai, 3,000 bales. At Yokohama very little doing." Mr. Effingham Wilson, of the Royal Exchange, sends us a useful book called Simple Interest ; Tables for facilitating the calculation of interest at all rates, from one thirty-second upwards. It is by M. Bernard Tindal Bosanquet, a sufficient guarantee of its practical and useful character, and the correctness of the calculations.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES—THIS DAY This afternoon information was sent to St. Bartho-. lomew's Hospital that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and suite would pay a visit to that institution for the purpose of visiting the unfortunate sufferers by the late dreadful calamity now lying ill in that noble institu tion. The secretary of the hospital, therefore, made the necessary arrangements for the recepti3n and conduct of the royal party to the different wards. The - city police arrangements of Sergeant Foster were well conducted. Shortly after 12 o'clock his Royal Highness arrived, and he was accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Hamilton, Major Teesdale, and two or three other private friends. The Royal party were received on their arrival by the secretary and treasurers of the institution, and was conducted to the different beds in which the unfortunate sufferers were lying. His Royal Highness expressed groat sympathy and commiseration for their condition, and the patients seemed much pleased and gratified at the mark of favour shown them by the visit. The royal party then proceeded to the House of Detention, at which place they arrived at ono o'clock, and were im mediately conducted by Captain Code, the governor of the gaol, and Chief Warder Moore, to the scene of the explosion After surveying with great interest the interior of the prison or rather that part damaged by the explosion, they then viewed the more calamitous effects of this dreadful affair, viz., the broken and shattered houses. After staying in and about the prison for nearly an hour, the royal party left. Superintendent Guraon and Inspector Bryant, of the G division, made excellent arrangements at a very short notice, and, indeed, the whole aff a i r was kept so quiet that only a few boys were present besides the police when the two private looking carriages, preceded by a cab containing the secretary of drove up to the prison, Swtf.thißnartthhoolomweauw'ss Hoof sp w ita h l ich they were, at once admitted. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. DEMERARA. The traffic receipts on this company's line for the fortnight ending the 30th of Nov. last amounted to $6,396, against $5,719 for the corresponding fort night in 1866, showing an increase of $677. NORTHERN OF FRANCE. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 23d of December last amounted to £70,015, against £66,685 for the corresponding week in 1866, showing an increase of £3,330. ROBBERIES IN SALFORD. During the holiday season the criminal popula. tion of Salford has been in an unusual state of acti vity. Several houses and shops have been broken into, and the boldness with which two or three of the robberies were committed is remarkable. On Thursday evening, between five and six o'clock, three gold watches were stolen from the shop win dow of Mr. Renk, Chapel-street. A small piece of one of the window panes was removed with a dia mond and a chisel, and the thief must then have drawn the three watches through the strong wire guard by means of a pair of nippers or a similar instrument. Traces of blood were left on the broken glass ; but the theft was managed so adroitly, that not only was' no person in the shop alarmed, but the passengers in the street, who must have been numerous, were not aware of the transaction, and it was not discovered until the thieves had got away. On the same night a pane was removed by a similar process from the window of a tobacconist's shop in Oldfield-road, and 15j-lbs. of tobacco were stolen. Two houses have been broken into, one in Gore•street and the other in Pendleton. In the first case, a cash—box containing £25 and a number of valuable articles, were stolen ; and in the other a considerable sum of money. A determined attempt has• been made to break into the shop of Mr. W. Joule, grocer, Chapel-street. The doors and shutters at the back of the premises were greatly damaged by the desperate efforts of the gang to effect at entrance, but the bolts and bars withstood the test, and Mr. Joule was saved from experiencing a heavy loss. In Broughton-road an eutrance was effected into a shop, but the thieves, who broke through doors and windows in order to get into the place, found that the proprietor had left only a very small sum acces sible. Both iu Salford and Manchester there are gangs of rascals, aided in many cases by women of the lowest class, who render it unsafe to send children out on errands with money, or wearing decent clothes. A considerable number of cases have been reported lately, in which children have been stripped or robbed. The loss usually falls upon very poor people, and the police are making special efforts to break up the gang. The thieves who frequent places of public resort have netted a con siderable booty during the week. In Manchester sixteen gold and silver watches were reported stolen in one day. eli,ll;l 4. tati..:LNUts , Great Eastern, E.

Letters from correspondents bring down the news frOin Annesley Bay to December. 19 and Rayray Guddy to December 111. At the former life was varied by fresh arrivals of ships with material, food, forage, mules, camels, and saddles. The supply of water was still limited. It was not that the steamers in the harbour were not able to condense a sufficient amount, but that the boats of the ships were incapable of placing daily in the shore tanks the quantity requisite for the large consumption entailed by the presence of 5,000 men and 2,000 mules and oxen. With the exception of the all- important water question, and of the fact that the proportion of drivers to animals was still too small, matters wear by no means a gloomy aspect ; the health of the camp was remarkably good, V. 1.0 weather not excessively hot, and the rations of first-class quality. Each European soldier got per diem ono pound of meat, one of biscuit, some flour, rice, tea, sugar, and salt, one quart of porter, and a dram of arrack. The route from the camp to Sena,f6 is tlnis described:— " The first thirteen miles is over a sandy plain, then the ascent commences, at first by a gradual slope, but after thirty miles growing much steeper, until near Senaf6 itself the road has to become a zigzag in order to climb the side of the mountain. The camping grounds are extremely narrow, as it is not permitted to sleep in the bed of the river, which constitutes the road, and the rocks shelving upon each side of the stream allow but little space to pitch tents on to bivouac. The prohibition is absolutely necessary for the safety of the troops, as the Abyssinian watercourses are subject to the most rapid rising, and the accounts of all travellers agree that the dry nullah of the evening often becomes a deep and rapid torrent before morning. The orders are equally stringent in forbidding all defilement of the scanty supply of water to be met with on the route, and especially enjoin that the carcases of dead animals are to be burned, as the only effectual means of getting rid of the nuisance which their presence creates. Except in the last march but one, no extraordinary fatigue had to be undergone. The marches were always by night, except where the difficulty of the route rendered it necessary to wait for daylight." At Senaf6 itself a lake or sheet of water is stated to have been found, and straw of a kind fit for fodder can be ob tained to a large amount. Writing from Rayray Guddy, the correspondent of the Daily Netts says : "I hear the epidemic which smote the - cavalry horses so severely when they were in the lowlands, and which clung to them when moved to the higher grounds, has now nearly disappeared. It was high time.. Forage is found in considerable quan tities in the vicinity of Senaf6—that is to say, it suffices for the one cavalry regiment and horses of the battery there now, but it is doubtful whether a larger force would be able to remain there unless it were in large measure supplied from the depots in the rear." At these depots the accumulation of impedimenta continues. This corre spondent considers it extremely doubtful whether the expedition will he able to move from Senaf6 before the middle of February. Our readers are aware that the chief obstructions to the march of an army up the Koomaylie Pass existed about Middle Sooroo, which is ten miles above the first halting place, Koomaylie. At that point, and onwards for a mile and a half, the torrent-bed, which is the road itself, is shut in by rocky walls so perpendicular and of such tough material, and is, moreover, so narrow, that before the passage could be deemed really safe for an army with its indispensable material, the greatest exertions were required on the part of the Sappers. By dint of unremitting labour they- have now completed about three-quarters of their task ; but no wheeled cart can proceed till the remaining portion is cleared. The cor respondent of the Morning Herald, dating from Upper Sooroo, begins by retracting his opinion that the defile would turn out a bugbear, as the fever, guinea-worm, and tetu flies bad done. After acquaintance with most of the passes of the Alps and Tyrol, he confesses that it is the roughest piece of road he ever saw. From Lower to Upper Sooroo is a distance of five miles. Lower Sooroo is 900 feet above the sea, Upper Sooroo 1,800. It is in this portion of the road that the real difficulties of the pass are situated. There is a succession of narrow and pre cipitous gorges. The sides of these gorges are is many places perfectly perpendicular, and the scenery, although not very lofty, is yet wild and grand in the extreme, and seen with the bright light and deep shadows thrown by the full moon, it was one of the most impres sive pieces of scenery. The difficulty of the pass consists not in its steepness, for the rise . is little over 200 feet in a mile, but in the mass of huge boulders which strew its bottom. Throughout its length, indeed, the path winds its way in and out and over a chaos of immense stones, which look as if they had but j u3t fallen from the almost overhang ing sides of the ravine. Some of these arches are as large as a good-sized ho.ise, with barely room between them for a, mule to pass with his burden. In many places, indeed, there was no room at all until the Madras Sappers, who are encamped about half-way up the pass, set to work to make it practicable by blasting away projecting edges, and in some slight way smoothing the path among the smaller rocks. In some places great dams have been found right ' across the ravine, owing to two or three monster boulders having blocked the course of the stream, and from the accumulated' rocks which the winter torrents have swept down upon them. Upon these great obstacles nothing less than an army of sappers could make any impression ; and here the engineers have sai the contented themselves by building a road up t o the top of tliedatme makeand down four-me again nilthpe h passage, d shouting, and the diffic u lti es of the way must be imagined. As several attempts at ro bbery have been made by the natives upon small p ar ti es , every one rode with his loaded revolver in his h o l s t er . At Sooroo t h e troops have made the unwelcome acqu a i n tance of camel t i c k, a creeper somewhat larger than a sh e ep tick. They bite the horses a sosta and the It labour, took three hours and men, raising a bump as big as a man's fist upon the former, and causing great pain and swelling to the latter. The situation of the camp at Senaf6 is said to be extremely pleasant. Colonels Merewether and Phayre were absent at our latest advices on some expedition to reconnoitre in the surrounding country. It would appear that at Annesley Bay, since the arriva of Sir Charles Staveley, the officers have worked prodi giously to reduce the chaos to order. The want of harmony in their efforts is still, however, complained of. Each head of department works for himself, whereas if they were only branches of an intendance generale, they might meet each other and their chief on an evening, and work with a mutual understanding. The Bombay Times states that the shipment of elephants ror Abyssinia created great interest. Such a shipmen: was probably never made before. The Compta took twenty remarkably fine animals, and the Hahnemann was being fitted for a second batch, numbering about twenty six. It required special tackle to lower these unwieldy creatures into the hold of the Compta, some twenty or thirty feet. They weighed about seventy tons in all. They require a large amount of forage, each animal con suming in his daily ration about 150 pounds of grass, twenty pounds of grain, and about a barrel of water each. To each elephant there s is a mahout and an attendant, and over twenty mahouts a jenidar. The Morning Post correspondent thus describes the accompaniment of the journey to Sooroo :—" Although 2,000 feet above the sea level, the temperature is not appreciably cooler, except inasmuch as the perpendicular hills which hem us in afford' a certain protection from the ardour of the morning and evening sun, Camels groan dismally, jackals cry like 10,000 ' teething babies,' monkeys bark, locusts flap about one's eyes' and ears the dust chokes every pore, and the odour of putre: fying mules (wafted up the pass) recalls the advice Let us sacrifice our olfactory organs'; but these are all minor miseries when the nerves are irritated to madness, and the brain in a whirl of Confusion, from the plague of flies which fill the air, and from which no immunity can be contrived. From sunrise tee sunset they reign supreme, and every tree and every tent is covered with a living, moving, buzzing mass of these little black torments. Yon may kill them by hundreds on your head, arms, legs. table, anywhere, but it is perfectly futile ; Hydra-like, for every dozen you fancy you have exterminated, fifty swarm up in tbeir place. The only redeeming feature about the spot is the existence of ' running ' water in plenty, a boon only to be properly appreciated by those who for some weeks have been slaking their thirst with the contents of warm condensing tanks and dirty maw kish wells. The trickling sound of the water alone is grateful to the ear, and will cause us to leave Upper Sooroo with:almost a pang of regret." As far as regards stores and appliances sent from Europe, isuez has become the base of operations. The great article of exportation is pack animals. Nearly 9,000 animals have been conveyed to Alexandria. At Suez Captain Morrison initiated a system by which, with the assistance of only twenty English officers, noncommissioned officers, and men, he has maintained, for four months, a camp of Feix acres in extent fil'ed with mules and horses. The camp lies to the north of the town of Suez, in the Desert, not far from the road by which the Israelites are said to have moved. The camp itself is surrounded by a ditch, and is well roped iu a very necessary precaution, for the mules, having a peculiar appetite for halters, eat them off, and were it not for the surround ing fence would career ownerless into the far Desert. A few interpreters make the orders of the English officers understood to the head men, who communicate them each to the men in his own tent. The camp is rapidly getting smaller. Of the total number of animals bought on the coasts of the Mediterranean a very few have died on shore, but nearly 200 were lost at sea. This loss was occasioned by the animals having to be thrown overboard to save the vessel in which they were being transported to Alexandria. About 2,000 now remain at Suez waiting far vessels to take them to Abyssinia. The rest have•been Bent to An npsloy Bay, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BREAKING INTO A SHOP.—Two rough-looking young men, named Scott Wallace, described as a sailor, and William Nutley, a labourer, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with feloniously break ing and entering the shop of Mr. James Ward, greengrocer, 36, Little Pulteney-street, with intent to steal therein. Mr. Peters, residing. at No. 36, Little Pulteney street, said that in consequence of being spoken to by a girl named Lear, he went into the yard of the house and saw the shutters down and the win dow forced open, belonging to the back shop of Mr. Ward, a greengrocer, occupying the shop floor, and on afterwards going into the front shop with a police sergeant he saw the prisoners there concealed behind the boxes. Thos. Rosch, manager to Mr. Ward, said that on leaving the shop at a quarter to ten the previous night it was secure, the window being nailed down. On going to the shop subsequently he found that the shutters were down and the window had been forced open, and a shop desk also been forced open, but nothing had been taken from it. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said that he knew Wallace, having employed him a few weeks since as an odd man. SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCIth.

SUSPICIOUS CASE OF FELONY.—George Pont, engineer's assistant, was charged with stealing 121bs. weight of Russian tallow, value 65., the goods of Geo. Smith and Co., his masters. Thos. O'Rill, clerk to Messrs. Smith, said at a quarter-past 5 last evening he was in a public-house opposite the works in Commercial-road, Pimlico, and the prisoner came into the house for lid. worth of rum ; he appeared bulky, and as he went to pay for the rum some tallow fell from beneath, his coat. Witness told him it was wrong to do it, ,and took hitn.back to the office, where the prisoner said he did not intend to steal it. It weighed 121bs. • in answer to Mr. Arnold, the witness said that prisoner bad no right to move the tallow from the store-room, and even if he had, he was 100 yards from the place where any of it would be used. Mr. William Virtue, the chief engineer at Messrs. Smith's, said the prisoner had been employed nine months on the works, and had a very good charac ter ; there was no reason to suspect him of previous dishonesty of any kind, and witness had recommended him for a job, because, since 1862, he had been working on a public job, and had a good character. Prisoner had no right to take the tallow from the works ; he was the worse for liquor at 4 o'clock, and witness ordered him off the works. Mr. Arnold inquired after the prisoner's sobriety when he was in the public -house. O'Rill said he was not sober. Prisoner totally denied the charge, said he was worse for liquor, and was going to take the tallow to the engine-room for to-day, when a friend called him at the gate to have some drink at the opposite public-house, and he ran across the road with the tallow. Mr. Arnold let the prisoner go for a week to give the prosecutor time to consider whether there was any felonious intent on the part of the prisoner. Sergeant Redford, 14 C, said that about half-past ten on the previous night he was called by the witness Peters, and found the shutters of the work shop down, and that the window had been forced up. On going into the front shop he found the prisoners behind some boxes. On asking the pri soners what they did there, one df them said, " W e have only come for a few minutes." On searching the prisoners he found a knife on each of them, and a sailor's discharge on Wallace. On searching the shop he found that a desk had been forced open, and he subsequently found a screw-driver that corresponded with the marks on the desk which bad been forced open. He wished for a remand, as_he had every reason to believe that Nutley had been previously convicted. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners, who had nothing to say in answer to the charge. CANTERBURY BALL. This celebrated place of public entertainment has now for its sole proprietor and director Mr. Win. Holland, a gentleman who has shown what talent and energy will achieve by the popularity which now attaches to the Music Hall in Holborn, of which he and his partner, Ur. Sweasey, were for merly the joint lessees. The latter gentleman having now the sole direction of Weston's, Mr. Holland has become the lessee of the Canterbury, and from the spirit with which he has entered on his new venture success seems a thing assured. The interior of the Canterbury Hall has been redeco rated, the picture gallery has been further adorned by the addition of a splendid collection of sculpture from the studio of Bracoiani, and the vocal company has been greatly strengthened ; in fact, the whole establishment has been remodelled ; and it now may be considered one of the best, as it is one of the oldest, establishments of the descrip tioh, that has become so popular during the last few years. The entertainments now submitted to the public are particularly attractive; in addition to a splendid band the marvellous Signor Leroni ap pears and creates the utmost astonishment by his peculiar performance. Mr. Vance and Mr. Ogden lead in the comic vocalists, and Miss Annie Adams, the serio-comic, is also a member of the company. The celebrated Irish vocalist Mr. P. Sellers, the negro melodist Mr. Washington, and the Brothers Gerard, the'gyul nasts, are also amongst the talented artistes that appear nightly. One of the great features of the , present entertainments is that Mr. Holland has secured (by permission of the Lieut.-Colonel) the services of the drums and fifes of the Scotch Fusileer Guards, and the execution by them of Jullien's celebrated " Drum Polka" is alone worth a visit to hear. As ballet has been found a great attraction at other places of public entertainment, Mr. Fred. Evans has been engaged, and he has produced a new pantomimic entertainment of the most laugh able and pleasant description, and which evokes the greatest merriment and delight. The musi cal direction has been confided to Mr. Alfred Lee, and Mr. James Ellis superintends the general management. Mr. Holland has already achieved great things at the Canterbury, and from his known talent and untiring energy the most talented entertainment may be contidentiy looked for. Various important engagements are pending, some- of . them being of a nature quite new, and hitherto unknown at music halls. If assiduity to the, comforts of visitors can, produce success, Mr. Holland may rest perfectly satisfied that he will achieve it. 11MARKETS—(2 his Day.) HAY.

EXAMINATION OF THE FENIAN CON- S I'IRAT ORS. [Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.] James Stratton—l am a carman, and. carry on business at Plummer's-place, Corporation-lane. The day before the explosion I recollect standing near my stable. . I saw two men there, and also two men coming with a truck from the direction of St. John street-road. The meu driving the truck pasSed me and made a slip, as if they were drunk, and shook the cask, which looked like a paraffin-cask. One of the men had a sack thrown across his shoulder. I after wards saw the cask put against the wall. The cask had a painted head—a darkish blue or green. Th's was the day previous to the explosion. The barrel seemed to me to be put exactly opposite tke house No. 3, Corporation-lane. Mr. Giffard—Do you see any of the men yo❑ speak of ? - Witness—Well, I don't think I shall be far out of my reckoning if I say that dark man (Timothy Desmond) was one of the men drawing the truck. He was on the near side as he passed me. I saw English in and out of the Bell beer-shop that day. Mr. Giffard—Had you seen any of them bef3re that d ? Witness—No, never. Mr. Giffard—How long did the barrel remain there that day ? Witness—Not long. It could not have been there more than a minute or two, as when I came out of the beershop it was gone. They never came back the same way they arrived. This would bring the time to about twenty minutes or a quarter to four. Cross-examined—l thought when I saw the men drawing the truck that they were drunk. The rea son I noticed the men I have pointed out more than other people I saw that day arises from the circum stance that one of them came in and out of the Bell beershop. I did not pay particular attention to the fact that one of the men drawing the truck was lame. lam quite positive English is one of the men who drew the truck. English—l'm not one of the men. That fellow will swear anything. Mrs. Sarah Smithers—My husband keeps the Bell beershop at the corner of Plummer's-place. I re collect the day before the explosion. Four men, neither of whom I had seen before, entered the house, and my husband drew them a pot of stout. One asked for some bread and cheese, but as we do not keep it in the house I offered to send for it. I sent a little girl for it, and the men waited whilst it was fetched. Mr. Poland—Look at the prisoners well and say whether you know either of them ? Witness—English, I feel sure, is one of the four men I speak of. Examination continued—Two of the men left our house for a-minute or two and then returned, when all four finished up the bread and cheese, and left the place. It would be about a quarter to three on the Thursday. The four men I speak of all formed one party. They drank the same beer one with the other. Mr. Isaac Allurn—l am a wheelwright, and work at Bucklebury, near Reading. On Friday the 13th ult., -I came to see the cattle show. I went to see it, and left the Agricultural Hall about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In coming away I walked through Corporation -lane, and whilst I was there I saw a person coming towards' me drawing a truck, upon which I saw a barrel. As soon as I saw it the man turned the truck round to the left and shot the barrel on to the pavement near the prison wall. As the man rose the han lie of the truck, another man came across the road and assisted him with the barrel. He threw a cloth over it and then went away. He came from out a small court near to where the barrel was lying. After the barrel was placed the man recrossed and came near me. Mr. Giffard—Can you identify eit her of these men ? Witness—Yes. The man Allen is one, and the man with the red whiskers (William a!smoncl) is another. The other two I cannot recollect. Crsks-examined by Mr. Harper—l am,quite cer tain about the time I left the, Cattle Show.. I was at the end of Bowling-green-lane when the explo sion took place. I did not go.back, to sec the cause of the noise I heard. Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I. have to offer in the present case. I have some further evi dence to produce in the treason-felony case. S'ir T. henry—Then I shall again remand th 3 prisoners. Mr. Harper wished to be clearly understood that there was no relationship between the two DJs monds. Timothy Desmond, William Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, John O'Keefe, and John Mallady were then placed at the bar on a charge of treason felony. William Gilbert—l am a grocer and draper, living at Enfield. I was formerly employed at the Enfield small arms factory up to the 22d of April. I had been engaged there 10 years as a gun finisher. On the 11th of December I was in my shop, at Enfield, about 8 o'clock, when a person came in (Mullady) and asked for some biscuits. I served him, and he then inquired the way to the small arms factory. I had a breech-loading gun of my own invention doing something to in my hands, when he put some questions to me about the weapon. I explained the points to him, and then he asked me if there were military kept at the small arms factory. I told him there was a rifle force kept there, and he then asked how many police were kept there, and if they were armed. I told him I could not sly how many, but that they were armed. He also inquired what sort of gnus were made there, and I told him military ones. He then asked if the guns were kept in store at the factory, and how they were conveyed to London. I told him I didn't know as they had altered their previous arrangements. I knew how the arms were conveyed, but I did not think it judicious to inform a stranger how it was done. He then asked if there 'were any . houses to let in the neighbourhood. I told him I didn't know, and then . again ho referred to the factory, and asked if there was a road to it from Wal tham. I told him there was, and he then asked if there was a communication between Epping Forest and the factory. I said I was not aware that there was, as I had never been there. He asked if ammunition was manufactured at Enfield, to which I replied that I had never seen any made there. lie next asked if ammunition was kept in store at the factory, and I told him 1 did not know, but that there might be a little kept for the Rifle Corps. He asked me if we were not afraid of the Fenians popping down upon us, and how we were prepared to receive them. I told him we were well prepared for them, and that they would meet with a warm reception, as there were 1.000 men nearly ready to take arms, and fight for the source of their living ; also a Rifle Corps besides. I inquired if he was going businessfactory t there,hat night, as it appeared to me that he said he did no t think he should get what he iatlie to had the wanted done that night, so lie should not go. thed expressed an opinion that the Fenians were acting a very foolish part to attempt to redress their supposed wrongs by force of arms, for I said he might depend upon it they would never attain their object in that way. He (Uullady) said, in reply, I might rest satisfied they would not attain it in any other way, obierving that Feniauism was not near so much crushed out as was generally thought ; and then concluded by saying, " Mark my words, you'll hear of something before long." He then left my shop, and went in the direction of Waltham Abbey. Cross-examined-1 will swear positively that the prisoner Mullady is the person with whom I had the conversation I have detailed, and that it oc curred about a quarter past eight on the evening in question. Our conversation lasted over twenty minutes, and it would be about half-past eight when he quitted my shop.' Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I propose to offer to-day. Sir T. - Henry then remanded the prisoners for a week, FENIANISM. EXAMINATION OF FOURTEEN ALLEGED CONSPIRATORS. MERTHYR TYDVIL, Jan. 6. The prisoners were brought over by the mail train at five o'clock this morning with the view of avoiding the crowd, and safely - lodged in the police-station. Some hundreds of people who began to assemble very early were congregated in the locality of the station, and great excitement pre vailed. Amongst other rumours current in the town is one to the effect that some 2,000 Fenians have been drilling in the surrounding valleys, and that they propose an attack upon the police station with the idea of liberating the prisoners. EVery precaution, however, has been taken by the police authorities, who would give the attacking party a wain) reception. The names of the prisoners are Michael Flynn, David Barry, John Whelan, William Whelan, Thomas M'iann, David Cochlin, Patrick Dolan (" head centre"), William Holland C' captain"), Thomas Reardon (" captain "), Patrick Darcy, Robert Barrett, John Marroll, Patrick Rean, and Mark Farley. The prisouers having answered to their names as given above, Mr. Fowler, the magistrate, said that the charge against them was that of " feloniously intending, with divers other persons, to deprive our most gracious Queen Victoria of the style, honour, and Royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, in the parish of Merthyr, in De cember, 1867." Mr. Ensor rose and stated his case in a lengthy address to the bench, in the course of which he said that he would call evidence to show that the pri soners had been guilty of the serious charge of trea son felony, by seeking to overthrow the Queen and to establish a republic. Patrick Coffey, a member of the Fenian Bro therhood, who stands committed to take his trial for administering the Fenian oath, and who has turned informer, was called and examined at great length. His evidence went to implicate the prisoners Dolan, the head-centre, and Holland (captain) as being very active men in administering the oath, and otherwise agitating the Fenian move ment in Dowlais. DUBLIN, Sunday Evening. At two o'clock yesterday morning a sentry at Beggar's Bush Barracks, near Dublin, gave an alarm, and informed the guard when it turned out that he had seen a man on the wall next the can teen. The guard, on proceeding to the place, ob served a number of men retreating across the field in the direction of Ball's-bridge, and on searching found Fenian documents. Orders were given to have sentries posted round the exterior of the bar racks in future.
