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 rail ways 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.

H un t an d Ki ng ' s Circular :—" At the opening of the past year there WEIS a fair prospect for the silk trade ; prices did not a ppear_, too high w ith suc h a s m all sto c k, and a fair de mand was reasonably expected after the restricted b usiness of the preceding year ; the supply, how ever, proved ample, orders for the spring trade were very limited, and manufacturers bought only for r 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 v more general business ensued at some ad va,ll,e.e, yet there appeared no confidence, but a pre vailing apprehension of political complications and further commercial disasters. The month of May of with so me p rom i se o f p eace a nd a better state f t hings, the severe weather also caused excite ment as to the fate of the European crops, and speculative purchases forced prices to nearly those of January. The result was disappointment and he avy loss, a s consumers on th e C on ti nen t avo id e d as iatie 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 Pie 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.

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 great 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 one 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. Aftersurveying 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 Gurnon and Inspector Bryant, of the G division, made excellent arrangements at a very short notice, and, indeed, the whole affair 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 St. Bartholomew's Hospital, drove up to the prison, within the walls of which 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 15klbs. 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 an entrance, but the bolts and bars withstood the test, and Mr. Joule was saved from experiencing a heavy loss. In Broughton-road an entrance 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 in 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. THE SUN, LONDON.

At the former life was varied by fresh arrivals of ships with material, food, forage, mules, camels, and saddles. The supply of waterwas 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 0? 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, the weather not excessively hot, and the rations of first-class quality. Each European soldier got per diem one pound of meat, one of biscuit, some flour, rice, tea, sugar, and salt, ono quart of porter, and a dram of arrack. The route from the camp to Senaf6 is thus 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 Senafe 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 News 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 had 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 i) 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 it.• way in and out and over a chaos of immense stones, which look as if they had but just fallen from the almost overhang ing sides of the ravine. Some of these arches are as large as a good-sized horse, 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 hem kteanyseileamvprebsy building a impression h er e the engineers have contented road up to the top of the dam and down again the other side. It took three hours to make this four-mile passage, and the labour, the shouting, and the difficulties of the way must be imagined. As several attempts at robbery have been made by the natives upon small parties, every one rode with his loaded revolver in his holster. At Sooroo the troops have made the unwelcome acquaintance of camel tick, a creeper somewhat larger than a sheep tick. They bite the horses 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 Senafe 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 arrive 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 the y were only branches of au 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 elephami, for 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 e ger c a o ch n s six.

From sunrise to sunset they reign supreme, and every tree and every tent is covered with a living, moving, buzzing mass of these little black torments. 'Y ou 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 their 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 wbo 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, .suez 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, non-commissioned officers, and men, he has maintained, for four months, a camp of Pix acres in extent filed 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 in -- 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 tc, be thrown overboard to save the vessel in which they were being transported to Alexandria. About 2,000 now remain at Suez waiting for vessels to take them to Abyssinia , . The rest have been sent to An nOsJOY BA!, 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 'wing spoken to by a girl named Leat, 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. Share Railways.

SUSPICIOUS CASE OF FELONY.—George Pont, engineer's assistant, was charged with stealing 121bs. weight of Russian tallow, value 63., the goods of Geo. Smith and Co., his masters. Thos. O'Riil, clerk to Messrs. Smith, said at a quarter-past 5 last evening he was in a publi c -h ou se 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 him 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 had 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 bad 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 of them said, " We 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 be found that a desk had been forced open, and he subsequently found a screw-driver that corresponded with the marks on the desk which had 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 iu 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, Mr. 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 Ball has been redeco rated, the picture gallery has been further adorned by the addition of ' a splendid collection of sculpture from the studio of Brucciani, 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 tion, 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 gym 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 exJcution 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 confidentiy 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. iIIARICETS—(Ihis Day.)

The Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood adjourned till after Christmas, and were to meet together on the 27th December, to complete the work of unit ing the body, and to take such measures as the well-being and advancement of the organisation may require. Previous to the adjournment an address was adopted to the " Liberty-loving people of Eng hnd," to which the Senate was moved by the efforts of leading English Liberals and R..formers to save the men r.cently ex-cuted in Manchester. We think t►he address a step in the right direction, as it proclaims a brotherhood with the body of the Eng lish people, awl hostility only to a class and to the Government. It thus at le (st narrows the osten sible field of enmity. A great objection to, and difficulty in dealing with Fenianism, is in its love of generalities —its vague declamatio❑ and sweeping assertions. When Fenians fasten on the aristocracy all the crimes of English history, OPC has but to appeal to its pages to discover that like nearly all these general assertions, it is in the main untrue. No doubt, like all oligarchies, the English aristocracy have got crimes enough to answer for, and being the ruling class they must bear the chief burden of blame where England has been in fault. But those who insist upon attaching to them all the blame must award also where they have been right, at least the chief praise. Turn then to the explicit charges made against the class in this docu ment, refer to the history of Ireland, and ask any Fenian head centre of them all—to whom does Ireland owe the most cruel oppression experienced at any ruler's hands? and the answer in spite of himself will spring spontaneously from his lips, and Cromwell is the word. Now Cromwell was a mere English yeoman. He was the head of a force composed of English yeomen, and the Head Centre (as the title pleases the Fenians) of an . English Republic. This bit of English history is a curious answer to the address. But if we look a little deeper we will see that it was the very men who founded the greatest States of the Union who gave to America her in stitutions, and stamped their character on her face, to whom Ireland owed the worst measures of tyranny, of which she now so justly complains. Emphatically these men were the bone and mar row of England, the best class of her yeomanry. How is it that nothing is thought of poor Brett— as some one very justly remarked while all these masses are being said for the souls of the slayers, that unfortunate man, slain while in the honourable and self-sacrificing discharge of his duty, is left out in the cold ? Is there no Caroline of Queensberry to comfort his widow and provide for his children ? Is all the sympathy to be lavished on those who killed him. If we must have such a fuss over this Manchester business, let us at least be fair. Allowing the good motives of Allen, Gould, and Larkin—allowing that they courageously and successfully accomplished the rescue ; yet dispassionately regarding the occur rence, we affirm that no man there acted more nobly than Brett. The Fenians have hitherto been as greedy in absorbing to themselves all wrongs as well as all sympathy, but now for the first time they come forward to claim as brothers in misfortune the working men of England. The very day this docu ment saw the light in N ew York, a striking instance of their sympathy was given in London to those whom they addressed, for on that day, with a barrel of gunpowder, in the streets of Clerkenwell, they blew up, root and branch, a block inhabited by those they addressed with such endearing epithets. They may rest assured this commentary will strike more than " the bloated and brutal aristocrats," and, perhaps, lead these tyrants to congratulate them selves on the enmity of a body who thus treat their friends. We repeat, however, that we welcome an appeal to reason—to passion—to prejudice—any thing rather—than a barrel of gunpowder and a blun derbuss. The Fenians should remember that if they. blow a man's brains out, they deprive themselves of the means of convincing that man. Let them leave the man his brain, for any manner of acting on it is better than this.

BATHING IN VICTORIA PARK.—The First Com missioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., has decided on in creasing the bathing lake in Victoria-park to nearly double its present size. The works will be commenced imme diately, and following the best precedents of the public works carried on in Lancashire during the cotton distress will be done by task work. In this way, while employ ment will be given to many in the cast of London willing, but at this time unable, to find work, a permanent public improvement will be effected with economy and despatch. APPREHENDED GREAT STRIKE OF COLLIERS I SOUTH WALES.—Tho depressed state of the coal trade throughout South Wales has resulted in a movement to n.ake a reduction in the wages at the close of the present month. The reduction is expected to be 15 per cent. In addition to the coal cutters the men engaged in the iron trade, which is in a still further depressed state, are also to be included in the reduction. There aro some indications of the men resisting so large a reduction, and it is feared that there will be a general strike of the colliers through out the whole of South Wales. Cue eourte of exchange at New York on London for bills at 00 days' sight is about lloOper cent.
