The chief feature in the markets is a further fall in Metropolitan Railway Stock in consequence of the injunction restraining the payment of the divi dend, and the striking remarks which proceeded from the Vice-Chancellor: There has, however, been a partial reaction from the lowest prices of the morning, but the disposition is still rather to sell than to buy. In some other cases there is a slight improvement upon the depressed prices that pre vailed after regular hours yesterday. The Funds continue firm, and so do the leading Foreign Stocks. 'lhere is rather a steady demand for money this morning, but rates remain at 11 to 18 per cent., and supplies continue largely in excess of imme diate requirements. _ _ _ Consols are firm, at 93i to 931, for money and account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 931 to 938 ; India Five per Cents., 112 to 112 f ; nauk Stock, 247 to 249 Exchequer Bills ; 225. to 275. prem. • Li the Foreign Stock Market, Spanish New Three per Cents. are in demand, at an advance of per cent., the price being 37/ to 37i ; Italian, 1861, are firmer, at 43/ to 44/. Greek are very flat, at 128 to 13i ; and Turkish are likewise scarcely so firm as they were, at 32i to 32/. Mexican Bonds are 161 to 16i ; Peruvian, 78 to 79 ; and Chilian, 881 to 894. . . Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain firm at 251 to 261, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 251 to 26. American Securities are firm. United States 5-20 Bonds are 1 higher, at 724 to 724 ; Erie Rail road 4 better, at 48 to 49 ; Illinois, 861 to 86/. The chief feature in Railways is the further re lapse in Metropolitan on the unfavourable character of the proceedings yesterday before Vice-Chancellor irood. The stock closed last night at about 111, opening this morning at 107, and is now about 109 to 1004. With the exception of a fall of 1 in Great Northern A, at 107 to 108; of 1 in Brighton, at 454 to 464 ; and of in South Eastern, at 68 to 6 91, the quotations are rather better. There is a recovery of 4 in Great Eastern, at 31 to 311 ; and in Midland, at 1054 to 106 ; of 4 in Caledonian, at 7 54 to 76 ; in Sheffield, at 434 to 434 ; in London and North Western, at 1174 to 1181 ; and in Lancashire and Yorkshire, at 125/ to 1261 ; and of in Great Western, at 454 to 46. . Union Bank of London shares are 4 better, at 3 3 to 34, and London and County are that much lower, at 54 to 55. London and Westminster are 664 to 674 ex div. ; and London Joint Stock, 334 to 341. . . London Financial shares are 23 to 21 dis. ; National Discount, 11 to 111; and Credit Foncier, 3 to 31. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The sum of £35,000 in Engttan gold coin was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for export to Alexandria. The following remarks upon the Bullion Market are from Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid's Circular :--" All descriptions of silver are firm. The nearest quotation for bars is 60 7-16 d, and Mexican dollars are steady at 59d, with but limited supplies of either. A ppare ntly no shipments of silver from India are yet advised, but exchanges are gradually declining, and some amounts of sovereigns are said to be already on the way from Calcutta. There is still a good demand for all kinds of gold for ex portation, and the arrivals having been but limited l aty, a few withdrawals from the Bank have taken place. It seems doubtful whether the importation from the United States will con ti nue , but in any case they are not likely to be on a very large scale. Skip- Ments to some extent are, however, expected from Australia within the next few weeks, and probably Much of the gold which, under ordinary circumstances, Would have been remitted from that country to India Will no .v find its way here." The directors of the Birmingham and Midland Bank announce a dividend of £5 per share. The estate of Messrs. Job. Richards and Co., of the Aabone Bridge Iron Works, is to be administered in bankruptcy. The ordinary general meeting of the London Cemetery Company has been convened for the 12th inst.

The mining dividends declared during January amount to £17,140 lOs on twelve companies. The half-yearly meeting of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company is announced to be held in Bristol On the 26th inst. The meeting of the Midland is called for the 19tn hid. at Derby. The directors of the Birmingham Joint-Stock Rum nave issued their report.

The markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce presen the quiet aspect usual on the last day of the week, when attention is engaged more in the settlement of past transactions' than in opening fresh engagements. Mean time the steady tone in most departments is undisturbed, and the improvement noticed in the one important branch of commerce, the cotton trade, makes steady pro gress. The imports of produce during the week have been light, and the supplies declared for disposal in the ensuing week are moderate, excepting tea, coffee, and jute, which will be offered principally from recent arrivals. The low rates on which sugar is offering fails to attract purchasers, although from the great excess of deliveries over sales for some time past it is evident that stocks in dealers' hands have run down considerably. The account from the bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom is however improving, but is still much under that of last year at this time. The increased supplies of coffee, latety arrived, com prise only a limited proportion of coloury qualities, which have consequently a firm aspect, whilst inferior grades have the twofold disadvantage of being already without demand, whilst the quantity on hand has been augmented. Meantime the deliveries of coffee go on satis factorily. In the statistical position of the other leading products there are no new feateres of interest. TALLOW. The market continues dull.

THE SOLUTION OF A GHOST ALARM. --A gentle man residing at Peckham-rye with a " ghost visitation," similar in character to that . was r ecently troubled which startled an aged lady and her household in Kensington. No clue could be obtained to the mysterious rapping for some time, and as each nigh,t, drew near the female inmates of the "hau nted house gave themselves up to terror. At last the gentleman discoYered the " ghost," which proved to be—a bat. The creature had taken refuge just above the door, and in endeavouring to flee away as darkness came on, caused the mysterious rappings with its wings. The bat destroyed, the knockings ceased, —South London Press. THE BIRMINGHAM MunDEß.—ts. telegram from Birmingham, dated last evening, says:—"Nc clv has as yet been discovered as to the murderers of Miss Mary Milbourne, in Heneage-street, Birmingham, on the 21st Jan. At the adjourned inquest held to-day, a witness spoke to having seen three men coining over the wall surrounding Miss Milbourne's premises about the time of the murder, but denied positively that she could identify them, or any of them. The coroner, in summing up the evidence, said he should commu nicate the result of the inquiry to the Home Office, and the further result would probably be the offering of a Government reward, which might lead to the discovery of the murderers. The jury then returned a verdict of Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown,' and the proceedings terminated." THE VACANT LORD JusTicEsnip.--The resignation 1 of Sir John Rolt (of which' we informed our readers some time back), although subsequently disputed by contemporaries possessing less accurate information, is now confirmed beyond any possibility of doubt. It had been hoped that, in consequence of the great difficulty of adeqUately replacing the learned Lord Justice, his lordship might have been induced, at least, to attempt to resume his judicial functions. The state of his health having, however, precluded this, his lordship's resig nation has been finally accepted. Rumour says that the Lord Justiceship thus vacated has been offered to Sir Roundell Pahner, and declined by him. Although many names have been mentioned, it is most probable that the appointment will be conferred upon Sir Charles Selwyn, who will, in that case, he succeeded in the Solicitor-Generalship by Mr. Balliol Brett, Q. 0., M.P. for Helston.—lmperial Review. SOUTHWARK PARK. —The plans for the formation of a park for South London have been approved of by the General Purposes Committee of the Metropo litan Board of Works, and will shortly be made public, for the purpose of inviting tenders for the exe cution of the work. The ground has been acquired at a cost of £60,000. Its area is 65 acres, but in order to recoup a portion of the sum expended in its formation, belts of land skirting its wider parts will be appropriated to the erection of some 300 houses of such a elms as to command a yearly rental of about £5O. In all, the ground thus used will be about L , fifteen acres. The visitor, entering from Jamaica Level, will-passing the already finished lodge—find Inipself on a plateau for promenade, having a foun tain in its centre, and environed by flower - beds. Immediately before him will be a vista, extending to the Deptford L ower - roa d, planted on either side with limes. An avenue of horse-chesnuts . will wind away to the right, round a spacious cricket-ground, to a play-ground for younger lads than those likely to join . cricket clubs ; to the left an avenue of planes is projected leading past another open plot to a gymnasium, which it is to be hoped will be fitted up in a more liberal way than has been the case with some others. On each hand of the Central or Lime Tree-walk flower-beds will be formed, backed up with ornamental grounds, laid out in accordance with the received theories of English landscape gar dening, through which paths will lead to the various grounds, THE SU N, LONDON, SAT URDAY EVE \TING, FEBRUARY 1, 1868.

In the after-term iittings, in the Court of Queen's Bench, before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, this extraordirary action came on for hearing. It was brought to recover certain goods, &c., the property of gui plaintiff. The plaintiff is the divorced wife of Count D'Alteyrac, of high family and position in France, and an officer in the French navy ; and the defendant is the Grand Chamberlain of England. The parties became acquainted in Paris in 1847, and in 1849 they lived together as man and wife in London, and continued to do so until 1864, when a disagreement took place between them rela tive to the noble lord's familiarity with one of the maid servants, which ultimately led to their separation. A daughter, the result of the cohabitation of the plaintiff and defendant, was now living, and her education had beet superintended by the defendant. The defendant, after the separation, sold allthe property at Cam Lodge, Twicken ham, for £B,OOO, which property the plaintiff claimed as hers, and for which this action had been brought. The defendant had made no provision for the plaintiff and her child. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. Griffits were counsel for the defendant. — The Countess was then called and deposed : In 1847 I was living in Paris ; my husband was travelling at that. time. In that year I made the defendant's acquaintance., I came to England in 1849 to meet the defendant, and since that time I have lived with him as his wife. I tra velled with him in Switzerland and Germany. There was a daughter born, who was educated and brought up as Miss Willoughby. I was known as Mrs. Willoughby, and was called so by his lard ship. In 1849 he took apartments for me in Argyle , street, and after that ahouse was taken at 4, Vincent-street, Ovington-square, for the purpose of our residing there. That was at the end of 1850 or beginning of 1851. At that time I had £1,600 in my possession of my own money, which was used in furnishing and decorating the house according to our joint wishes. The furniture and plate I had in Paris were brought to London for furnishing this house. It included articles of Dresden and Sevres china ; my crest and cypher were upon the plate, and the household linen was marked in my name: Defendant was then in a bad state of health, almost dying, and I nursed and attended him for about fifteen months. In November 1852 he was extremely ill, and wrote a letter addressed to his father, in which he asked him to make provision for the plaintiff, and stating that all the property in the house belonged to her, and which she was to use if he died. The case was adjourned to Monday. His Lordship suggested that it should be left to some man of honour, known to both parties, to say whit should be done between them. A CASE OP DIVORCE.—In the Divorce Court, before biz J. P. Wilde, the case of Edwards v. Edwards and Theo balds, which had been already part heard, was decided. The petitioner lived at Bridport, in Dorsetshire, with his father, but in the year 1846 he came to London, and lived in the house of his uncle. The latter had a daughter some years older than the petitioner, and it was alleged that she bad " seduced " him. In the following year, she being enceinte by him, they were married at Abchurch, in the City. After the ceremony was per formed they separated, and Lad never lived together since. In the meantime, the wife obtained employment as a governess—first at Friming,ham, in Norfolk, and afterwards at Bridport ; but in 1853 she disappeared, and was not discovered till about six months before the present proceedings were commenced, when it was alleged she was living with the co-respondent. A great deal of evidence was given to prove these allegations. On the other side, many witnesses were called to speak as to the adultery of the petitioner, but their evidence entirely broke down, and the attorney was severely censured by the court for not having thoroughly ascertained what would be the nature of their evidence.—The learned judge granted a decree nisi for a divorce, and found that no wilful separa tion had taken place at all. made, and I hear nothing to his disparagement beyond this. He is fined 405., and, in default, a month's imprisonment. The Rev. Father Bingham, of the church of the Holy Family, Saffron-hill, who had written a letter to the Lord Mayor, stating that the prisoner had attended his school during the winter evenings, and that he was a quiet, inoffensive young man, here stepped forward, and said he would pay the fine. The Lord Mayor—You knew the law, that it was my duty to fine him? Father Bingham said he did not know that such was the case. Ile believed the offence was com mitted on the spur of the moment, without thought, and that if the prisoner had been able to keep the paper in his pocket, and think over the matter, he would not have pasted it up. The Lord' MAyor---You can hardly urge that. He put up one the week before. Father Bingham—He knows very well how ,► rorgly he li is acted, but I am sure it was'uot done from any bad motive, but simply on the spur of the moment. The iritials found in the memorandum book, "C. If. F.," are thosl of my church. He is a very good boy, and has never attended any-secret society, and in fact has no time to do so. Sir William hose (addressing the rev. gentle man) said—l am bound to say that the pasting up of two seditious placards on this honk is a very serious crime. Father Bingham —The parents are extremely poor, and they Caine to me and stated what had occurred. Sir William Rose—lt is a very serious crime. Father Bingham—But the parents are poor, and cannot pay the fine. Sir William Rose—Well, he ought to go to prison. The Lord Arayor—l am very sorry the law does not allow me to give him a month's imprisonment without the option of a fine. Father Bingham—l pay it because the parents are unable to do so, and the boy, if sent to gaol, would lose his situation and be without a place. I am very much obliged. The prisoner was then discharged. SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways. i raid. / Closing rioe. Prise. Bristol ana Exeter Caledonian ...... Cambrian Cork and 8and0n......

The crocodiles during the same year ate about 50 people, and between 30 and 40 a year were killed by serpents. The inhabitants, however, do not seem to allow their habitual equanimity to be much disturbed by the fate of so many human beings. The Governor-Gencral some time since offered . for every tiger that was killed the sum of 22 guilders (X 2), but this did not tempt the Dutchmen to aciatto. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. WAREHOUSE ii3OBBERY BY ITALIANS.-At John Laurie and Andreglio Luize,.two Italians who ro fused to give their addresses, were placed at the bar before Alderman Sidney, charged with stealing two French shawls, value £G, from the premises o f M essrs . C. A. Clermont and Co. , No. 11, Silver - street, Wood• quarter-past street.—William Green, detect ive officer, said that about yesterdayGreh-street evening he was in companywith five Nlir o'cl ock tney in saw the two prisoners, and , from' their manner, they were induced to follow them. They watched them for about three-quarters of an hour, and during that time they entered five different warehouses —one in Gresham street, cn3 in Aldermanbury, two in Wood-street, and one in Silver treet. At the last place the prisoner Laurie left very hurriedly, followed by Luize a short distance. In Falcon -street the former stopped, and was joined by the latter. They then walked to King Edward-street, where they went into a public house. When they came out they went to the foot of Holborn-hill, where he and Whitney stopped them. He asked Laurie what he had under his cloak, and he replied " Nothing." Witness said " Let me see ;" and pulled his cloak on one side, and from under his coat he took the two shawls produced. He then told the prisoner that he was a police officer, and should take him into custody. He asked him to account for the possession of the shawls, and he said, " I will not speak to you here ; I will talk to you at the station." They took the prisoners to the station-house, and in the presence of the inspector he asked Laurie if the shawls were marked or ticketed, and he said they were not. He refused his address.—This testimony was corroborated by Whitney, and further evidence having been called, the prisoners were remanded. THREATENING TO KILL.-At the Westminster Police court, Francis lledling, coachman to Mr. Pakington (the son and secretary to Sir John Pakington, the Secre tary for War), was bound over to keep the peace for six months. It appeared that the prisoner quarrelled with the stable-keeper, who struck him. Thereupon he (the prisoner) took up a pitchfork and said he would run it through complainant, whom he afterwards got under the legs of one of the horses, and nearly strangled him. Complainant got away, however, and prisoner then declared he would kill him in the night , and, being in bodily fear, the stable-keener brought this charge. A CLEVER TRIM—John King Richardson, a shopman, was charged before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police. court, with stealing a watch worth £5, and £4O worth of goods, the property of Henry Done. The prosecutor, who is a grocer and cheesemonger, and who then carried on busi ness at:No. 9, C annon-street -road, was committed to prison for one month by M r . P age t f or an assault. He left the prisoner in cha rge o f h i s shop and b us i ness , and gave him directions to d o a ll t h e trade he cou ld an d t a ke care of the receipts ; but the prisoner disposed of everything, shut up the shop, and fled. Among other things was his master's watch and chain. P r i soner was di scovere d at Manchester. He stated that h e h a d £2s.—He was rema n d e d. pawned the watch and chain for THE CHARGE OF POSTING A FENIAN PLACARD OIV THE MANSION-ROUSE. Yesterday Michael Gough,. - ntias William Coffee, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Sir William Rose, for further examination on the charge of posting a seditious placard on the Man sion-house. It will be recollected that the prisoner, a lad of 17 years o f age, was observed sticking up a plicard relating to Fenianism on the north-west gate of the Mansion-house about half-past 2 in the afternoon of Friday, the 24th inst. He was immediately pur sued, and captured in Walbrook. At first he gave the name of Michael Gough, but subsequently said his real name was William Coffee, and that he lived at No. 16, Uxbridge-street, Newington-eauseway. Two police officers went to this address, and found a memorandum book in the prisoner's handwriting, in which were numerous entries relating to Fenian ism of a very extravagant nature. They also found that there portraits of Burke, Casey, and Duffy, and a num 'ewwassnneowfsurther evi dence to offer on the part of the police. newspaper con tainingb e num berfwca o r s P e n p i e o o s w r reports of the statedot h f e t h U niversal e Fenianstate trials. It The Lord Mayor inquired of the prisoner wha he had to say. The Prisoner—l wish to express my sincere re gret for my insolent conduct last Saturday. I plead guilty, and trust you will look over my foolish conduct. The prisoner's father appeared in court, and said his son was an apprentice to the bookbinding, and slept at home. The Lord Mayor (addressing the father)—l have received a letter from the priest of St. George's Cathedral, Southwark, who speaks very well of you and your family, and believes you are industrious, honest, and respectable people. Your son has committed a mischevious offence by pasting up this placard on the Mansion-house, and this is not the first time, but the second. The Father—lt is very foolish. The Lord Mayor—l have caused inquiries to be HUNTING API-OIN MIENTS. STAGUOUNDS. Her Majesty's. —Monday, Beaconsfie*,44-0,; . Friday, Warren House, Binfield, 12.

TIIE BIRMINGHAM MURDER.—No Clt; - 13as yet been obtained as to the murder of Miss Mary Millbourne, in Heneage-street, Birmingham, on the 21st January. At an adjourned inquest held yesterday afternoon a witness living next do& spoke to having seen thred men coining over the wall - surrounding the premises of the deceased about the time of the murder, but said positively that she could not identify any or either of them. The coroner, in summing up, said he should communicate the result of the inquiry to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, and probably a Government reward would be offered, which might lead to the discovery of the mur derers. The jury then returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The Courrier Russe contains the subjoinnd : " The official appointment of Mgr. Innocent, Arch bishop of Kamstchatka, to the dignity of Primate of Moscow, in room of the late venerable Philarete, is announced. The new Archbishop, who was but a simple priest 35 years ago, bad devoted himself to the holy mission of converting to Christianity the idolatrous population of that Asiatic country, and by his untiring zeal and eloquent language obtained results so important that in a few years there arose a necessity to raise Kamstchatka into a new diocese. The worthy missionary, who was then named Jean Feniaminof, was married and the father of several children. He repaired to Moscow to lay before Mgr. Philarete the requirculents of the new see. During his stay in that city he received the news of the unexpected death of his wife, whom he had left in good health. Having thus become a widower, he was in the condition required for the episcopacy, and Mgr. Philarete did not hesitate to confer on him the dignity to which, in no circum stances, would his modesty have allowed him to pre tend. Mine. Potemkin, who is always ready when there i s a work of charity to perform, undertook to bring up the missionary's daughters, educate them and marry them honourably. The simple priest then became a bishop, under the title of Innocent, and returned to Kamstchatka, where he exercised his apostolic zeal for thirty years. For some years past he had become Arbishop, and has now been called to the highest functions in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. A Jnttor deice could not be made." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
