II 0 l. At K. T AND 2'OI.IIIEROIAL ,7NTELLIIGICNOE Crrr, Two o'CLocx. The Stock Markets are generally well supported, though there is no great amount of business in pro gress. The principal feature is a further considerable advance in the stocks of the Caledonian Railway upon the improved prices of yesterday, consequent upon the issue of the replies to the report of the Investigation Committee. From sympathy other railway stocks have also improved, though to a less extent. The Funds are a shade stronger, and they maintain a moderately firm tone. Foreign Stocks are for the most part dull from inactive business. The Discount MArket is exceedingly quiet, with increasing supplies, at 1 to 11 per cent. for first class bills. Consols have recovered and are now quoted at 92i to 93 for money and account. New and Re duced Three per Cents., 92k to 93. I.3dia Five per Cents., 11-2 to 112 i. Batik Stock, 212. Exche quer Bills, 225. to 275. prem. Foreign Stocks are rather dull. Th..re is a relapse of 4 in Brazilian (1865), at 76f to Tlf ; and in Italian (1861), at 42f to 43 ; and f in Portuguese Ecrip, at 21 to 2f ; and in New Spanish, at 351 to 35k. Greek Bonds are exceptionally firm,. befug scarce ; the quotation is 121 to 121. Turkish (1865) are flat at 311 to 31f. The New Honduras Loan is steady at to 14 prem., ex coupon. American Securities are steady. United States 5-20 Bonds, 724 to 73 ; Erie RaiN ay, 48 to 49 ; Illinois, 85 to 85k. _ _ _ Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have risen to 24 25, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds are firm at 24 25. The chief feature in railways is a further rise of 11 per cent. in Caledonian, on the reports published this morning. The present price is 761 to 761. The market generally is firmer. Great Eastern and Midland are 1 better ; and Great Western, Metropolitan, and London and North Wes tern, 1. Lancashire and Yorkshire are 1 lower.

The report of the annual meeting of the Norwich Union Fire Office for the year just closed will be found in another column. It shows that great suc cess attended the operations of the'office during the last twelve months, and some notion of the business transacted may be gathered from the fact that the gross total of subsisting policies on the 29th of September, 1867, amounted to no less a sum than eighty-three millions. The proceedings were alto gether of the most satisfactorydescription, and from the unanimity of the meeting the most remarkable success may be fairly relied upon for the future of this vast and wide-spreading institution. The sum of 7,000 sovereigns were taken from the B" 1 -111 yesterday for Russia, but 3,000 from Belgium were taken in, making since the date of the last return £l7OOO sent in, and £26 , 000 withdrawn. It has been decided to wind up voluntarily the Albert Veterinary College (Limited).

The report of the North-Western Bank (Liverpool) States that in consequence of recent heavy losses, Which have absorbed the reserve fund of £20,000 and a large portion bf the profits of the past half-year, the dividend proposed is only at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. An official report, dated December 20th, of the General Superintendent of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, shows what reforms have so far been m a d e i n the working arrangements of the line. The following are extracts :—" You are well aware of the condition the road was in on your taking posses sion of it, and of what was necessary to be done at ,once to put it in safe order. This, I think, has b een fully done. The locomotives are in as good order as will average on any road. We have made sonte improvements in them, and are running them now cheaper than has been done. We are now down to 30c. a mile, covering all expenses ; and I am satis fied that we can get down to 27c. per mile as we Progress with our economy. Much improvement has been wade in the passenger and freight cars. We aret getting them in better order, and now that we have a good track to run on, our cost of repairs should iirninish. , I much regret that our receipts are so %fleeted by the loss in the oil trade, and the general stagnation of business, cased by the contraction of th e nati ona l currency an d t h e sever i ty of the drought d uring, the l a tt er part of the summer and aut umn . T his affect s t rave l as well as freighting. It is ga tifYing, however, to know that our l e giti ma t e business is good, and we are doing our full pro- Portion with other lines. It has been my especial "udy to work economy in every department of the ro ad, and get our working expenses down to where they should be. The directors and auditors of the Caledonian Rail way have issued reports in reply to that of the com bittee. B ot h ta k e except i on to the plan adopted l Y the com m it tee i n regar d to - the capital and revenue "barges respectively, as being contrary to custom r nd more or l ess i nexped i ent.

B enne tt , i ron /poster, of Wellington, the liabilities were shown to b e £24,000, and the assets £15,000. The acceptance ° fan offer of 5s in the pound was deferred. With regard to the market for American Securities, aessts. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co. state as follows. '" Although there has not been a very large amount of business in American Securities on the London ibark e t during the past week, prices have improved all round ; United States' 5-20 Bonds have advanced tc tr;jto 72, and 10-40' s to 67/ to 68k.

The same advices allege that China has contracted a treaty Ruth the Turkomans, and that fortifications are being con structed on the Russian frontier. THE UNITED STATES. —We learn by Atlantic cable that on Tuesday last the House of Representatives passed, by 123 against 45 votes, a Bill declaring that there are no valid 3ivil Governments in the late rebellious states, and trans ferring all powers of appointment and removal under the Reconstruction Act from President Johnson to• General Grant as cowmander•in.chief of the army. MJLITARY AND NAVAL MUVEMENTS —The 44th (East E sex) Regiment,- under the command of Col. Hort, left Aldershot yesterday morning, en route for Ireland. The 56th (West Essex) Regiment, at Aldershot, under the command of Cul. Lacy, has been bell in readiness for some days past to proceed to Ireland. The same may be said of the 68. h Regiment, a {deb is held in readiness to proceed to tltnchester. On Tuesday evening a "divisional ball," under !be patronage of Lieutenant General the Hon. Sir J. Y. Seatlett, K C. 8., was held in the Club-house at Aldershot. --The operation of the Contr.gious Diseases Act, 1866, will shortly be extended by the Government to the garrison districts of Shorncliff, Colchester, and Coik, as well as the Curragh. Her Majesty's ship Pyladas sails to day for the Pacific stalk:ilk THE ALABAMA QIIPSTION.—Another long and able letter appears in the Times to day from " Ilistoricus," on the Alabama claims. Summing up the inquiry on which his fund 'mental proposition rests, the writer asks :—" Is the question whether a state of civil war did exist in the United States btfore the issue of the Queen's Pro clamation of May 13 h, 1861, a matter upon which any one. either in England or America, is entitled to entertain a reasonable doubt I I have shown what was the conduct of the American Government at the time. I have shown what Mr. Seward, the recognized organ of that Government, said at the time when the events were in progress. I have shown what was the considered judgment, after the event and in their own favour, of a Court which is not only the supreme judicature of America, but the final judge of its Constitution. If, in the teeth of such admissions, a Government is entitled to resuscitate a stale cLim, where is to be the end of litigation If, when you have not only got in vtfiting the confession of your adversary, that he has no claim against you, but have, further, a judicial decision in his own country recorded at his instance, which authoritatively disproves his pretension, yea are again to submit the same question to arbitration, what subject is left on which you are safe from persecution I I can only sag that a nation which, under such circumstances, should voluntarily submit itself to unreasonable vexation would amply deserve the unjust and perpetual oppression which it would infallibly invite." THE LATE EMPEROR Marslrtratr.—As it has been stated that the ccrirte given up by the Mexican Government was not really that of Maximilian, we may state that the report is false. "The body landed at Trieste," says a a mespondent, writing on the highest authority, "is un doubtedly the body of Maximilian. With the exception of the wounds inflicted by Mexican bullets, the slight per forations necessarily made by the embalmers for the put.. pose of injecting the veins with chemical substance, and the inevitable incisions requisite for the removal of the i..a-stines. &a., it is entire and untnutilated. Admiral T-gethoff, who carried the golden key of the inner coffin about him, opened the shell twice subsequently to his arrival in the Adriatic (once at Pola and once at Trieste), in order to assure himself that the body had not suffered by the voyage; and be reported that no change of any moment had taken place in its appearance since the Novara's de parture from Vera Cruz. On Wednesday night Louis Victor and Charles Louis went on board the frigate whilst the Admiral was by chance on shore, and sent to ask him for the key of the coffin, in order that they might contem plate the remains of their dead brother. Their demand was of course complied with ; and I believe myself to be justified in abating that, upon being shown the body, they 0 .92_ 10 .e recoliajled and cleobzo4 his suthestioits,2 THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1808.

RACING TRANSACTIONS 13 CnANcznir.--An injunction was applied for on the part of Mr. Clark, well known in the racing world, to restrain Mr. Shirley, at one time a general in her Majesty's service, from proceeding against him in an action for the recovery of certain moneys said to be due from tne former to the latter. In October 1865 a warrant of attorney for £1,500 was given on the racehorse Laeville, judgment u pon which was signed the following day. An agreement was then drawn up, the material portion of which it was urged was, that the amount which still remained due to the defendant after the sale of the horse was to be secured by an I 0 U, not to be enforced for three years. Eventually, the horse was sold for £3O, and the plaintiff swore that at a meeting at Brussels all accounts between the two were settled. The defendant swore exactly the opposite. Lord Romilly reserved judg ment. • RESULT OF CHANCING TIIE OBJECTS OF A CONFANY.— The right of shareholders to be held free from liability on account of their shares in a company the objects of which have been changed, they having applied for a return of all their deposits, was decided by the Master of the Rolls in the case of the Canadian Company. The company was established in July 1E62 for the purpose, as alleged in the prospectus, of acquiring - land in the oil producing districts of Canada, working the petroleum springs, shipping the oil to England, "arid di:posing of it by sale. In Ncvomber 1862 the company issued an additional prospectus, •in which it- was set out that oil districts had been purchased and oil wells sunk On the 14th of the same month a report was made to the effect that commissioners had been appointed to proceed to Canada, to examine the lard purchased ; and the .agricultural value of the property, indepen dent of its oil-producing qualities, was discussed. On the 3rd January the shareholders received the report of • the commissioners, when it came out that no lands had been bought at all, and that it was not intended to buy any, the company intending merely to bring oil to England for the purpose of sale. The shareholders were asked to sanction the change in the objects of the company, which was henceforth to be called the Canadian Oil Com pany-, Mr. fox, a shareholder, who held some 170 shares, being dissatisfied, applied for and obtained the return of the deposits he had paid. Shortly afterwards the com pany was wound up, and it was sought to placebili. Fox on the list-of contributories. The Master of the Rolls held that as the objects of the company were entirely changed, any shareholder who applied for the return of his deposit was exempt from liability on account of his shares. Xi-- Fox would therefore not be held a contributory of . the .company. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. !British Columbia, 6 per cent., Deo. 31, 1572.... I Can.

LIGHTING THE AGRICULTURAL HALL.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, a motion was made on behalf of the defend. ants in the case of Defries v. Sanger, calling on the plaintiffs to shew cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidenc ; The r-;tion was L: ought by essrs. Defr:',•s, the gla— chandelier manufacturers, against Messrs. Sange-, the proprietors of a circus, and who are so we I known in connection with their entertainments at the Agricultural Hall, to recover a sum of £B7, to which the defendants pleaded a set-off. In the course of the trial at the Bail Court on Tuesday last, it was alleged by the defendants that the plaintiffs had used their chandeliers at a series of concerts, and at the ball to the Belgian Volun teers at the Agricultural Hall, although they had stated that they had taken them down and packed them up care fully. This was denied by the plaintiffs, who obtained a verdict. A rule nisi was granted. COMPENSATION CASES.—In the Sheriffs' Court, before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and a special jury, the case of Roots v. the Great Eastern Railway was heard. The property for which compensation was claimed is situate at the Triangle, Hackney, and after a consultation a verdict was taken by consent for £9oo.—ln the case of Henrickson v. the Metropolitan Board of Works, which was com menced yesterday, property was wanted for the purpose of making some public improvements at Kensington—once an unimportant metropolitan suburb, but now described as " a second Belgravia." After a long investigation a sum of £1,978 was awarded. EXTRAORDINARY DAMAGE.--11l the case of Osborn v. Read, plaintiff and defendant were farmers, in Norfolk. The act :un was by Ce uncle of tie young woman, Emily Fisher. She stated that she had known the defendant for ten years, and he was her suitor. She gave birth to a child in June last, and it was still alive. The under sheriff sold the jury that the only question was the amount. The fact of the seduction was admitted. He would merely remind them that it was not a criminal pro ceeding, but a civil suit —they were not there to punish the defendant, but to award such damages as would satisfy the justice of the case. The jury, after a few minutes' con. sultation, gave a verdict for £3oo.—Mr. Wilkins said they only claimed £2OO by the record. —The occurrence caused a good deal of surprise in court, and. the learned under sheriff said they could only give £2OO. The jury said they wished to give £3OO, as it wa© a bad caoc. srcvaivi, recorded for £2OO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —This Zay. BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—At Bow-street, Chiist6Pher Robinson, aged 13, apprentice to Mr. Parsons, law-writer, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, was charged with embezzle ment..—The prisoner had been sent with an account, and returned with a statement that the customer had other work to offer, and would pay for the whole altogether. Mr. Parsons, however, having accidentally met his cus tomer at Peele's Coffee-house, (fiscovered that the amount, 10s., had been paid to the prisoner. It was also found on inquiry that the prisoner was in the habit of spending money, gambling, and "running up scores" at a coffee-house near his master's office. The landlord not only countenanced this, but joined in games of cards and dominoes with the boy, and told Mr. Parsons that he was not in the house when in fact he was. The prisoner excused himself at home for keeping late hours by pretending that he was kept at work by his master. Sir Thomas Henry commented severely on the conduct of the coffee-house keeper, and issued a summons for his attend ance on Thursday next, to which .day he remanded the prisoner. AIARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CAB PROPRIETOR THREATENING TO STAB A CON STABLE.—AIfred Coggs, a cab proprietor, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and furiously dri vin g his horse and cart. Police - constable Beeves said : A little after 12 o'clock last night, while in Pall-mall, I saw the prisoner driving his horse and cab at the rate of 12 miles an hour. The prisoner turned out of St. James'L. street into King-street, and nearly ran over two females, who were much frightened, and screamed out. I went after him and stopped him just in front of the St. James's Theatre, and asked him to get off his -cab. The prisoner did so, and then, seeing that he was drunk, I took him into custody. After going some distance the prisoner said he would go no further with me, and that he would die first, and he then put :his hand into his pocket and said " I'll rip your heart out." I got the knife from him and took him to the station.—The Prisoner : I don't recollect anything about it.—Mr. Knox: Your conduct is as bad as it can be, and I think steps ought to be taken to prevent your driving again. It js a monstrous thing, taking out a knife to a constable: You will have to pay 405., or go to prison for a month MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. STEILING a CIIEQUE.-At the Middlesex. Sc4ons,, before Mr. E. W. Cox, Elizabeth Jones and Ellen Smith were indicted for robbing John Hiett. —The prosecutor, au agent, living at Islington, said that on the night of the 7th inst. he was walking up Pentonville-hill, when the prisoners came up to him and accosted him. Jones asked him to go home with her, and the other prisoner asked him to treat thew. He put his hand into his pocket to give them some money, and immediately missed a cheque. He accused Jones of stealing it, and said he should give her into custody, and a policeman coming up he gave them both into his charge. Albertine, 24 Y, said he was on duty on the night in question when he saw the prosecutor standing with the prisoners. He saw Jones pass something to Smith, who wa lk e d away. Prosecutor cried out that he was robbed, and he (witness) went up and took them into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner Smith dropped some thing, which proved to be the prosecutor's cheque. Re. p a ssing up an d d own Pentonville-hill spectable persons were very much annoyed by the prisoners and others of her class. The jury found the prisoners guilty. Mrs. Howe, warder at the Female Prison, 'Westminster, proved a lot of convictions against the prisoners. M r . E. W. C ox sentenced Jones to seven years and Smith to five years' penal servitude. Last night her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Teck and the Prince of Teck honoured the per- Adelphi, with their pre formances of the Theatre Royal, sem°. SPORTING INTEL LIGgNOE—This Day.

(By Telegraph.) PENZANCE, Thursday Morning. Nicholas B. Downing, Esq., reports that yester day (Wednesday) the Prussian brig Die Sonne was lost on the Praze Sands, nine miles from this place. The lifeboat Richard Lewis, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was got down there in two hours, was got down there in two hours after receiving the intelligenee, but unfortu nately was too late to be of use, as the ship had gone to pieces, and the crew of nine men were drowned. "Gentlemen,—Allow me unsolicited tel send you a word J commendation for your Pain Killer. I have used it in toy family several years, and find it all it claims to be. Fur rheumatism, coughs, colds, burns, cholera, and dis eases generally that prevail in families, I regard it as be yond all price, and as efficacious beyond any remedy within my knowledge. We keep it as our chief family medicine, and find its use in ordinary cases worth more than any doctor. Many clergymen have spoken of it in the highest terms as a family medicine. Missionaries in repeated instances have said to me ha verson and in their letters that the Pain Killer was by far the best medicine used in heathen lands. This I say in justice to yourselves, and for tho benefit of others.—Yours, 11ev. W. B. JACOBS, late editor of the Christian Chronicle. To Perry Davis and Son, 17, Southampton-row, Holborn (W. C.)"
