There is a slightly increased demand for money this morning, but rates are unaltered, at 11 to 11 per cent. The Corn Market is steady at Monday's prices. Consols are firm, at a further improvement of at 931 to 93k, for money, and 931 to 938 for ac count ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 931 to 94 ; India Five per Cents , 112 to 1121 ; Bank Stock, 247 to 249 ; Exchequer Bill, 226. to 265. prem.

The New Ilonduras Loan has risen to f, 11 prem. ex coupon. In. American Securities United States 5-20 Bonds are steady, at 71i to 72k ; Erie Railroad, 1 lower, at 481 to 49 ; Illinois, 86 to 87. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain at 251 to 261, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds have risen /, to 251 26. In Railways there is an advance of in London and North Western, at 118 f to 1191 ; of / in Midland, at 1061 to 107 ; of in South Eastern, at 69} to 70 ; of 1 in Brighton, at 452 to 461; and of i t in Great Western, at 46 to 461.

The weekly return of the Bank of England con- Amines to show an accumulation of resources with diminishing means for their employment. Thus, while the securities have fallen off by nearly £400,000, Including both descriptions, the bullion and reserve have enlarged by a total of .£631,784 ; the Bank, therefore, has employed less money in its business by a million sterling than it did last week. As private depositors, chiefly bankers, have reduced their deposits by £126,230, it follows that somewhere about £900,000 less money has &been employed in the trade of the country ; while the mercantile com munity, as well as the Bank, is under the disadvan tage of an excess of six millions unemployed private deposits beyond the'amount of private securities. The private securities are now little more than sixteen millions and a half. TheSe conditions represent stagnation. In respect to its liabilities on deposits and bills, the reserve of the Bank exceeds the third part of them by five millions within a fraction ; and as the active circulation, apart from the bills, is £23,474,530, while the bullion is £22,319,625, the Rink could pay off in gold the whole of its notes within £1,154,905. The following are the principal changes since the preceding return : Decrease in circulation £455, 780 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits .. ......... 126,230 Decrease in Go vernment Securities • 200;800 Decrease in. other Securities . 194, 628 Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest Increase in Reserve Bullion in both Departments ...22,319,62 5 Reserve of N o t es an d C o i n 13,845,095 Circulation, including Bank Post Bills-24,082,263 The following is the return of paid clearing for the _week endi ng W e d nes d ay, J an. 29 , as cer tifi e d by Mr. J. C.

It is the lowest of the year so far, but it corresponds exactly to the comparative stagnation shown by the "lank returns. There have been no settlements on the Stock Exchange' to.disturb the amounts created by trade. It is, however, satisfactory to observe that on the last occasion when the clearing was unattended by those conditions, the total was about £48,000,000. This week it is £51,000,000. Some slight improvement has consequently taken place in the interval. The return for the ensuing week will probably show a con siderably enlarged clearing as there will have occurred a heavy Stock Exchange settlement, and the liquida tion of the bills maturing in the domestic trade on the 4th, next fuesday, two incidents which, to some extent, may also affect the next Bank return. The sum of £71,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for export. The North Staffordshire Railway Company an nounce a dividend at the rate of 311- per cent. against 4 per cent. for the corresponding period of 1866. A special general•meeting of the Australian Trust Company has been called for the 14th February, for the purpose of procuring the assent of the company to its being registered as a limited company. The London Colonial Wool sales are announced to commence on the 27th of February. The fresh arrivals amount to 34,004 bales. The report of the Isle of Man Banking Company for the past half-year recommends a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum. The extraordinary general meeting of the East India Irrigation and Canal Company has been adjourned to the 15th February. The following is the report of the London and South Western Bank.:—The accounts show a grois profit for the half-year (including £365 7s 7d brought for- Ward from last account) of £19,691 10s 9d, and after deducting the usual charges for expenses at head office and branches, interest to customers, &c., there remains a disposable balance of £6,371 lls 4d. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per an num (f ree o f i ncome tax ) b e paid to the shareholders, and that the balance of lls 4d, which includes £520 19s for rebate on bills not yet due, be carried to profit and loss new a ccount. The dividend will be payable at the head ! I gfice, or at an y o f th e b ranc h es, on and after the 11th February next. V ice -Chancellor Wood has made an order that the voluntary winding up of the Prince of Wales Slate Company (Limited), be continued under the supervision oft he court, and confirmed the appointment of Messr.s R, B. Smart and H. L. Hammack, as liquidators. The following is an extract from the report of the T elegraph to India Company :—" The Board, with the approval of th e s h are h o ld ers at the meetings on e 12th July and 9th August last, confirmed the Provisional Agreement with the Telegraph Construc tion and Maintenance Company, for the lease of their line in Egypt, on payment, from Ist July last ; of £1,500 per annum, or 3 per cent. upon the capital of £50,000. The rental due 31st December, 1867, having been received, the Board recommend that a di v id end at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be paid to the shareholders for the year ending 31st December, 1867. The f.t.lture prospect s o f t h e company must depend, as the shareholders are aware, upon the successful c.:_rrying out o f t h e A nglo-Indian Telegraph Company, Whi ch th e B oar d understand only remains in abeyance I, w aiting a favou ra bl e opportun i ty for proceeding wit& kne undertaking."

DEATH OF VISCOUNT DE MOIRA.—The Journal of St. Petersburg, of the 24th inst., announces the sudden death of the Viscount de Moira, Envoy Bxtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Portugal at the Court of St. Petersburg, on the 22d inst. Viscount Moira was many years Secretary of the Portuguese Em bassy at the Court of St. James's. His talent and bearing had gained for him in this country and in Russia a large number of friends, who will deeply regret his loss. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.—The beneficial effect of the Con tagious Diseases Act, 1866, among the military has resulted in the formation of an association for its extension to the civil population. A meeting of the committee took place on Wednesday last at the house of W. T. Mitford, Esq., M.P., 12, Cavendish•rquare, W. Present ----Mr. Skey, F.R.S., Major General Downing, Sir H. Thompson, Dr. Tilbury Fox, Mr. Ernest Hart, Dr. Vintras, Dr. Inglis, &'. The secretary announced that steps had already been taken to form branch associa tions in many parts of England and Ireland—Bath, Ox. ford, Brighton, Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Cheltenham, Clifton, Kidderminster, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Read ing, St. Leonard's, &c. Sir John Pakington had written to approve of the association, and to express his opinion that it would do very much good. The subcommittee appointed to draw up the "laws " of the association sub mitted their report. The subscription is fixed at half a guinea a year. The secretaries were instructed to draw up a report especially as to the objects of the association and the information received from time to time in reference to the prevalence of enthetic disease in different parts of England and the present working of the Contagious Diseases Act in the navy and the army, and this will by made public as soon as possible. THE FEVER IN ESSEX. —A well-informed correspondent writes to us concerning the fever at Terling :—" Up to the present time there have been about 240 cases, with 22 deaths ; while there are many cases wanting but little to turn the quivering balance between life and death. Lord Rayleigh has willingly offered to provide a convalescent home for children, and it is already in progress ; and when in work it will help to diminish very materially the existing overcrowding, until more effectual means are brought about. Real working nurses are sadly wanted here. The first case of the real outbreak occurred, not at Terling•place, but at what is called The Dairy Farm,' in the immediate vicinity. This case was quickly followed by scattered ones through. out the parish, which, at the time of the last census, had a proportion of 002. Nor was it possible, so far as I could ascertain, to trace the first scattered cases to the source of infection whence others have tried to trace them, viz., the Dairy Farm. The first fatal case was that of a woman, who, from accounts gleaned from her husband, had h d. no communicatio❑ with the tainted spot ;' but her il'ness (and the case was one of the earliest) commenced after a long and exhausting walk upon a soaking wet day. And this state of things may, I think, be readily explained by the frost, thaw, and subsequent percolation of water from the surface through ground charged in many places with the excreta of typhoid fever patients ; true, these excreta had been more or less treated with chloride of lime, but privies open to the air above, and bounded below by no barrier save a gravelly soil, are treacherous receptacles fot such matter," —British Medical Journal.

The chtouometer, which is of beautiful workmanship, and an excellent specimen of its branch of art, has been manufactured by Mr. Jones, 338, Strand. THE PHYSICIAN'S CANE AND COAT.—The gold headed cane, formerly carried by physicians, was long believed to contain some safeguard against infection. There is a collection of such canos in the College of physicians. One of the last physicians who bore the gold-headed cane was Dr. Baillie. The last man in London who is believed to have worn the scarlet coat, flap waistcoat, and frilled sleeves, was a quack doctor, who lived in the corner of Salisbury-square; and who might be seen any . day pacing the pavement in front of his establishment until he took to his bed and died of extreme old age.--Leisure Hour. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1868. SHARE LlST.—This Day. FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. (From Le Follet.) At this season of the year our subscribers will naturally prefer the pages of a journal devoted to the description of fashion to be chiefly occupied with evening -dress. We must, however, just mention, in passing, one or two little facts of general interest. We find that the small indoor vestes before men tioned are very much worn, either with or without sleeves, and generally made with wide revers. Also small corslets, with or without epaulets, are frequently worn with the Cashmere chemise russe. Gold and silver and fur are still the trimmings most in vogue. Fur figures not only in day, but also in evening dress ; ermine, white fox, grebe,' and swaudown being all used for this purpose. 'Nor must we omit speaking of lace, which is ever a favourite trimming, especially on satin. What can .be prettier than a lace tunic gracefully arranged over a skirt of satin ? To de scribe all the immense variety of elegant materials now in vogue would be an impossibility, but we would just call our subscribers' attention to the beautiful fringes for trimming tulle or tarlatan worked with gold or silver. They are made of marabouts or swandown, tipped with gold and silver ; also the flounces of Spanish blond worked with satin flowers for plain tulle dresses. This blond placed over bouillons of tulle has a charming effect; it is also formed into tunics. Black blond of the same make is sometimes worn over. black or coloured satin. The first dress we describe is both novel and stylish. A ball dress composed of a skirt of white tulle, with a thick chicoree, and bouillonnes of tulle. A wide bias of black velvet is_placed at the bottom of the skirt and up the sides, but not across the front, the front breadth being covered with black lace forming a round tablier. Corsage and tunic of white satin, the tunic being held back, as it were, by the black velvet, and also caught up at the sides by bouquets of black velvet and tea roses, with brown foliage and long trails of leaves, in a style recalling the pauiers in the time of Marie Antoinette. A toilet de bal of blue satin, covered with five skirts of blue tulle, each skirt trimmed with gold and steel fringe, and a cord. Low body, crossed and trimmed to match. Dress of Chambery gauze spotted with black flowers. Wide black velvet sash, the ends fringed with gold. Upon the shoulders hanging bows of black velvet fastened with a gold ornament. A robe of green poult de soie. Low body, Marie Antoinette fashion, trimmed with white lace and steel cord. The skirt is trimmed with lace, carried a little distance up each seam. Toilet of blue velvet with white satin trimming, the upper skirt being traced round with white satin rouleau - tes and rosettes of the same placed half way down the frunt. Low body, round berthe trimmed to match. Evening dress for a young lady. Three skirts of pink crape set on in very small plaits, the border of each skirt cut in small scallops answering to the widths cf the plaits. Body formed of three plaited bands, the upper one being in small scallops round the top. A scarf of pink satin round the waist, and fastened together half way down the side of the skirt by a pink daisy, a smaller One being at the waist at the other side. A dress of white poult de koie, over which is a skirt,,veri light and aerial, formed of bouillons of tulle and flounces of silver blond, with a fringe of light blue feathers. Low body, trimmed to match. A robe of white gauze, open iu front, and form ing a long train, embroidered iu an elegant wreath of large daisies. Underskirt of white satin,trimmed ea tablier, with bouquets of daisies. The body very low, fastened on the shoulder by bouquets of the same flowers, which are repeated at the waist. Head-dress to match. A dress of straw-coloured satin, covered with a tunic of Spanish blond. The tunic is nearly as long as the satin skirt at the back, and raised on one side under a bouquet of acacia leaves. A wreath of the same in the hair. A dress of white terry velvet. Plain skirt ; the body trimmed with lace and rows of fine pearls. Head-dress ; rows of pearls. This dress is equally elegant, and even more effective, trimmed with gold blond and rows of gold or turquoise beads. Of course the head-dress must match. A dress of light blue silk, trimmed en tablier, and all round the train with beautifully formed lace butterflies. Low body, trimmed with lace and fringe of small turquoise beads. Strings of the same beads in the hair, fastened under a large white rose. A dress of bl ac k l ace over w hite satin, trimmed with water lilies and coral in bouquets on the skirt, sleeves, and in front of the body. The same orna ments in the hair. Necklace, ear-rings, and brace lets of coral. A dress of emerald green satin, trimmed with silver blond. Low body, and long hanging sleeves of tulle, spotted with silver. A white satin dress, the skirt trimmed with a white bouillonee of tulle, above which is placed a flounce of gold blond. Low body, trimmed to match. A dress of blue terry velvet, trimmed with dentelle Duchesse and white camellias. The skirt trimmed tin tunique with a flounce of the lace, and en tablier with rosettes of lace and camellias. Head-dress, barbes of lace and camellias at the side. A white silk dress, the skirt made with a long train and trimmed with rouleaux of satin, so ar ranged as to resemble wreaths of coral round the skirt, up the front, and half way up the back and sides. The low body, which has deep basques edged with a wide fold of the same, is trimmed to match the skirt. This dress may also be made of light grey silk and red satin coral, or violet and black maize and blue or black. A robe of topaz coloured satin, with a flounce of crape of the same colour, and a trained tunic of Indian lace. Low body of satin, draped with lace and crape, and edged with a fringe formed of topaz pendants. Dress of blue satin, with a wide flounce of blue crape, headed with a ruche. Tunic of blue crape, pointed back and front, and very short at the sides, trimmed round with rich lace and looped at the sides with crape ruches.

The bonnets have undergone little or no change in form since last month, but our skilful modistes are continually finding fresh methods of arranging these tiny coiffures, so as to make them more com fortable, as well as more becoming. For evening . coiffure gold and steel are much worn. Ornaments of the same, placed on velvet bands, are also much used ; or strings of garnets, with hanging ornaments of the same. Also-beads of crystal or gold, twisted in the hair, form a very pretty and becoming head-dress. A long wreath of heath, with metallic leaves, twisted several times round the head, and fastened under a flower or ornament of gold and steel, is a new and elegant coiffure.

An amendment will likewise con curred in suspending the duty on raw cotton imported from foreign countries on and after April 1, 1868, and until April 1, 1869. This amendment was agreed to with a view of benefiting the trade in grain bags which are used in the 'Western States, and in the manufacture of which the coarse Surat cotton is very extensively em ployed. The bill, together with the amendment to it, having been reported back to the Lower House, was agreed to by that body.—l have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) F. C. FORD. The Right Hon. Lord Stanley. PERILS OF A LOVER• On Monday night an event occurred in Water ford which has thrown the Fenian excitement com pletely into the shade. A fine-looking fellow, named Edwards, a sergeant of the II Battery of the Horse Artillery, stationed at Waterford, became en amoured of a pretty housemaid. Matters went on smoothly till Monday night, when a vindictive and rather tyrannical coachman thought fit to interfere. The knight of the whip fancied that he had a right to monoplise the attentions of the girl, and, per ceiving that Phillis favoured the son of Mars and contemned his own advances, he sought to " thrash" her into matrimony, and with this view seriously assaulted her. The girl had to leave the house, the master and mistress bring absent, and left word that if Edwards called he was to remain until her return. The coachman heard this, and when a knock came to the door, he opened it, and bade the soldier " begone." The gallant son of Mars did not resent the manner of his rival, but holding out his hand, said, " Let us be friends." The answer was a string of vituperative abuse, which was brought to a termination by his receiving a blow on the mouth. Coachee slunk away to the lower regions of the kitchen, and the artillery man departed, intimating his intention of re turning' when he thought Catherine would be at home. He did so ; but in the meantime the girl had entered the house, and was furiously set upon by the coachman. The ruffian cried out, " I am in the house with you ; I have loved you madly, and in spite of -- itself that fellow will not possess you. I would rather :see you dead than his." Ile then seizing a knife, swore he would cut her throat. The girl took refuge in the pantry, and her cries maddened the soldier outside. lie climbed over the wall at the rear of the premises, and thun dered loudly at the back door. The coachman, who heard the noise, seized a pitchfork and placing himself en charge, awaited the entrance of his enemy. Finding that the soldier could not force the back door, he went out by the hall door, with the intention of taking him in the rear. Scarcely had he gone out, however, when the woman admitted th e artilleryman, and secured both doors. The l overs now remained together till half-past eleven o'clock, when the gallant soldier departed ; but his troubles were not yet over. As he was passing John's Bridge, the coachman and three other fellows rushed upon him, with loud cries of " Throw him over the bridge." Edwards defended himself gallantly with his belt, but when that was broken he was completely at the mercy of his foes. They grappled -with him, and were in the act of tilting him over the battle ments of the bridge when the tramp of the police patrol was heard in the distance, and the ruffians, releasing their hold on their victim, decamped. The artilleryman was conveyed in a state of ex haustion to batracks, and, according to the strict rules of discipline, sentenced to 15 days' confine naent.—Saunders's Newsletter. NIAGARA. WEARING OUT. Since the discovery of Niagara by civilised man, the great cataract has changed little in appearance, and although the waters have been constantly at work wearing away the shelf of the rock, the rate of progress is scarcely perceptible in a •lifetime. There are now appearances, however, that indicate a sudden and entire change of the form of the Canadian Falls, liable to occur at any time, and in a manner that would be likely to dimish, if not en tirely divert, the stream at present passing over the precipice on the American side of Goat Island. Within the past two years a peculiar motion of the rapids at a point about 800 yards above the curve in the Falls, over which the greatest body of water descends, has attracted the attention of careful ob servers, and given rise to the belief that the current has made a breach through the soft shale stratum underlying the limestone edge over which the main body descends. This shale stratum is noticed under Table Rock, and in the banks of the river on either side below the Fslls, and ascends towards the south at a grade that would reach the bed of the river about 800 yards above the Cana dian Falls. The theory described has resolved itself into an undoubted fact within a few weeks past. Within that time Dr. J. N. Osborne, at Chippewa, has noted a marked change in the mo tion of the rapids at the point indicated, and it is also reported that indications are discovered of the pouring of a subterranean stream into the gulf below the Falls, which the absence of the mist, it is thought, would reveal beyond a doubt. The ultimate result of this action of the water must be to cause a sudden receding of the Falls at some time to the point where the limestone strata terminate, and a complete change in the appearance of the cataract. A gentleman from the vicinity of the Falls, of whom we obtain these particulars, fully believes that the days of the great "Horsehoe" are numbered.—Haniilton Times.

FE 'IAN ARRESTS A 7 D1L7)717011D. GREENWICH POLICE-COURT.-THIS DAY. James . Richardson, Florence M'Carthy, and Maurice Lytleton, were placed before Mr. Maude for further examination at the above police-court, charged with treason-felony. The men were charged with attempting to ad minister the Fenian oath to a young man named James Bendall, an American, with the view of in ducing him to commit treason-felony. Mr. \Vontner, jun., appeared on the part of the Crown for the prosecution, and Mr. Pulling de fended M'Carthy and Richardson. Mr. Wontner said he proposed to press for com mittal of the prisoncr3, under the 52d Geo. 3, c. 101, which made every person convicted of admi nistering an oath binding any person to commit treason or murder shall be held guilty of felony, and suffer death, without benefit of clergy, and any person who should take that oath, not being compelled, should be adjudged guilty of treason, and be transported for life, or for any such term of years as the court should adjudge. Some discussion then took place between the legal gentlemen attending for the prisoners, but Mr. Maude said it would be better to proceed with evidence. The following witnesses were then examined : James Mitchell, potman at the William IV., said he was acquainted with the prisoner M`Carthy for the last ten years whilst he was working at the docks. He had known Lyttleton for about two months. On Sunday week he saw some men in the passage, and they afterwards went into the parlour, but did not see who they were. A short time after the bell was rung, and on his going into the parlour he saw Lyttleton, the other two prisoners, and some other persons whom he did not see in court. Bou tell and O'Leary were there. They ordered some beer, and then O'Leary came out and told Lyttleton to go in as he was wanted. He made a mistake when he said Lyttleton was already in the room. He (Lyttleton) went into - the parlour, and then the door was locked. Six persons were then in the room. About four minutes after he went to the door of the room and told the people they must leave the house. Some one inside said they should not be three minutes before they were out. He did not see any person leave, but he went to the back gate to let the people out of the house. Lyttleton came out first; three others were behind him-- viz., M'Carthy, O'Leary, and Boatel 'They left the house just as the church bells were going. A very few minutes afterwards he saw Boutell in custody, as he expected. One of the men took :cold of his collar and went in the direction of .the station-house. Mr. Willes, for M'Carthy, said if the magistrate would say whether he intended to dispose of the case, instead of sending it for trial, he should know how to act with respect to his cross-exa mination. Mr. Maude said he could give no answer to such au inquiry. He (Mr. Willes) knew quite as much about the case as he did. Mr.Willes replied that under these circumstances he should reserve his defence and refrain from cross examining any of the witnesses. Charles Shave, assistant bailiff at the Greenwich County Court, said he knew M'Carthy, and also that he was engaged at Deptford dockyard. In September, 1865, the witness issued a judgment summons against John M'Carthy. Mr. Woutner was about to put certain questions to the witness relative to expressions used by .%I'Carthy on that occasion, when Mr. Maude said he had no right to put questions to raise a prejudice against the prisoner. Mr. Woutner said the prisoner was in fact charged with being a Fenian. Mr. Willes objected to such a term being useJ, the prisoners were not so charged. There was no offence called Fenianism, so it could not be charged against the prisoners. Mr. IVoutner said prisoners were, cheirgad with Jbtaiuing converts to the Fenian cause, and that set forth that the person taking the oath was bound co further the objects of the Fenian Brotherhood, which was to overthrow the British rule in Ireland. Mr. Maude said he thought Mr. Wontner had a right to put the question under certain restric- Lions. Mr. Willes remarked that, as his objection had been overruled, he was glad he should have the op portunity of raising it before another tribunal. The expression " Fenian " could only have been used to prejudice the prisoners in the present ex cited state of the public mind. He thought two years and nine months was rather too long a time w make the prisoner responsible for opinions then expressed. After some further observations from Mr. Maude Mr. Wontner said he would defer putting the ques tion until another opportunity. Samuel Long said—l am a detective, and I have known Lyttleton since the 22d December last. He was pointed out to me, and I watched him on that occasion. Constable Yardley and Inspector Ebbs were with me. I watched Lyttleton that night from the Noah's Ark publichouse, and three other men also, who are not now present were with him. Two of the men that were with Lyttleton advanced some few yards in front of him. He (Lyttleton) then put his hand on one of these men's shoulder and said, " You know what you are, and what you've got to do." I will not, however, swear that these were the exact words. The man said " Yes, Maurice, I know now I am a Fenian, and I will stand by you," or be with you, I don't know which. The two went down to the Rodney publichouse and found the other two men in whose company they had formerly been. They then met another man, and then I crouched behind some bricks in order to hear their conversation. I distinctly heard Lyttleton say, " It will not want half of that; that will blow it to the --; that will blow it to shivereens." I think that was the word. Lyttleton—l have never conceived that word. Repeat it, sir. The constable did so, and then Mr. Willes objected against the reception of such evidence, as it prejudiced the other prisoners for whom he appeared. Witness continued—A woman then joined the three men, and Lyttleton got very much excited. I could not understand what was said then, as they seemed to be speaking Irish. Lyttleton, some time after, put up his hand and said, " It's high time," or " quite time that this Government was over thrown," and then I heard these words from one of the three, " A monarchy will never do; we want a republic, and by God we'll have it," or " w e must have it." They then left the place I had boon watching, and all three went to the Little Shamrock beer shop. This took place at about half-past 11, and they remained at the beer shop until a few minutes after 1. Lyt tleton, the woman, and the two men then separated Lyttleton and one of the men going into a house in Dock-street. That is all that took place there. Lyttleton—lt's time you were tired. Witness—l know O'Leary. I have seen him in company with Lyttleton. I know Boutell ; he is a relative of mine. On 20th January I and three other constables watched the house at which Lyttle ton lived, 103, New-street, Deptford. I afterwards knocked at his bed-room, and said, " Maurice, I want to speak to you," and a voice replied, 6 , Ile's not at home ; he's been out all night." I said, Oi;en the door ?" but this not being done, I went to the front of the house, pulled open the shutters, and there I saw him in bed. I again demanded that the dour ntig,ht be opened, and Lyttleton said, " All right." I went to the door again, leaving a con stable at the window. I then told Lyttleton he must consider himself my prisoner, and he then told me to stat. 3 the charge in his wife's i hear in ;. I said it was for treason-felony. lie dressed himself, and said to his wife, You ought thent lie he got outside the housel ex- Lyttl e tou said, " - gibetted, as it is you who have done this.' When peCted this; I suppose it's my Yankee friend has done this." I searched the prisoner at the station house, and found the memorandum book I now produce in his coat pocket. [This is the book re ferred to on the last examination, and which con tained the paper upon which c;Ttain verses were written, which we have already published.] Cross-examined--I was a chorister of Ely Cathe dral before I joined the police, and have been in the force since 1861, and most of that time 1 have been engaged as a detective in plain clothes. I first began to watch Lyttleton on the 22d of December. I was about four or five yards from Lyttleton when I heard the observations I have stated between Lyttleton and the other man about his being a Fenian. When the men separated out side the Rodney public-house, they appeared to kiss each other. You, sir, may call it " fraternal greet. ing," but 1 can only say some of the men kissed each other—(laughter)—and did a great quantity of shaking of hands. (Laughter.) The men, when I was watching behind the bricks, talked about Government, but it was not until they had talked about blowing up some thing or somebody. I know they said a monarchy would never do, a republic was what was wanted, and that they were determined to have it. I did not bear the word " democracy." I know the meaning of the word monarchy. I first heard of the word at school. (Laughter.) I received my direction to watch the prisoners Lyttletou from my superior officer, but I had been watching 111.‘Carthy long before that. Boutall is now stop ping at my house under my protection. I first saw .Boutell, my relative, in Lyttleton's company on the 10th of January, and I was very much surprised. When he told me what he and Lyttleton had been talking about, I told him I had been watching Lyttle ton for some time as a suspected person, and I last saw Lyttleton on the Saturday prrvious to my ap prehending him on the following Monday morning. I had some conversation with Boutell about what had taken place on the Sunday night, and it was after Boutell bad been at the police station I re-. ceived orders to apprehend Lyttleton from Inspec tor Griffin. I went on duty before I apprehended Lyttleton. ➢ir. Willis—What do you mean by duty—spy- ing ? Witness—Police duty. Mr. Wontner—Such an observation is scanda lous, and ought not to be made use of by a profes sional man. I cannot allow it to pass. Mr. Willes (very excitedly)—But I will. It is an English word, and I have a right to use it. Mr. Wontner—Oh, you may disgrace yourself if you please. The witness then went on to detail various other circumstances connected with the apprehension of Lyttleton. The case was then again remanded for a week. LONDON GAZETTE. -THIS EVENING.
