THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1864.

Mr. Partridge asked if he had any character with him!
Witness replied in the negalive. He took him entirely
eat of charity, as he was in deep distrem.
Sawyer, a detective *Mom of the If division, said be re-
ceived information from Mr. Basadford, the superintendent
of the M divinoe, and at his direction proceeded to the
County Gaol, Cambridge, where he saw the prisoner, and
took him into custody. On telling him what he was charged
with he said it wee all true, he took it and spent the money.
Mr. Partridge asked if the beakers' clerk was in court!
Sawyer replied in the negative. He had not bad time to
give him notice.
The prisoner admitted his gain, but as the magistrate re-
quired the attendance of the bankers' clerk to complete the
CMS for trial, he was remanded.

COLONIAL BANK-0111S DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, Mr. Caintrus
MARRTAT is the chair.

The directors' report for the half-year ending 30th June,
1863, woe ss follows : _ _ _

"In pursuance of the requisitions of the charter, the
directors present to the proprietors the following statement
of the debts and awash of the corporation on the 30th June,
1863, comprising the net profit of the half•year ending at
that period :
" Debts.--Circulation, 246,227/. 6a. Bd. ; deposits, bills
payable, and other liabilities, 1.492.470/. &I. • paid.np ca-
pital. 500,000/. ; reserved food, 118,382/. ss. 4d. ; net profit,
33,937/. Is. Id. ; total, 2,391,017/. Is. ld.
"Assets.--Specie, 287,883/. Ih. ; du to the bank in the
colonies on bills discounted and purchased, including those
put due, 937,0401.125. Id. ; due to the bank in the colonies
on current accounts, 7,685/. 15s. 3d. ; due to the bank in
London on bills remitted, cub at bankers &c., 1,148.2. W.
lls. ; bank premises and furniture in fondon and in the
colonies, 10478/. Ils. ; total, 2,391,017./. Is. Id.
" Considering that the circumstances adverted Win former
reports, namely, the war in the United States, and the
depressed condition of the markets for colonial produce, have
exercised their influence tlOOll the business of the isankdurieg
the half-year now under observation, the directors hope
the proprietors will agree with them in considering the
above statement to be satisfactory. They are happy to add
that, the accounts of the half-year just ended, as far u they
have been received from the branches, give promise that its
result will be equally so. It affords the directors
pleasure to be able further to report that the value of
colonial produce has experienced a rho which, if maintained,
may fairly be expected to have a beneficial effect upon the
operations of the bank, but the improvement has occurred
too recently to be apparent in the transactions of the last
half year. The directors now recommend that, out of the net
profit reported above, which, after providiag for all bad or
doubtful debts and for income tax, amounts to 33,937/. ls. Id.,
a dividend be made of 6 per cent. for the half-year ending
30th June, 1863, being at the rate of 12 per cent per an-
num on the paid-up capital of the corporation, which will
require 30,0001., leaving 3,9371. Is. Id. Of this amount the
directors propose to carry 2,617/. 14s. Bd. to the reserved
fund, increasing it to 121.000/.; and the remaining 1.319/.
oe. sd. to the credit of profit and loss account, to be carried
forward to next half year." . .

The CBAIRMAN expressed s hope that the present year
would witness a considerable improvement in the position
of the bank. When they last met, he said the state of
affairs was gloomy enough, but now the prospect was
very encouraging. During the last three month'
sugars bad risen from Ba. to 10a. per cwt.,
and they now yielded a fair profit to the West India pro-
(tuners —a state of things which could not fail to benefit that
bank.

--The report was adopted, and a dividend of G per cent. for
the half year wine declared. The proceedings terminated
in the usual manna.

THE WEATHER.—(THIS DAY.)—Meseta. Ne-
gretti's exclamation which daily greets the reader of the
newspaper edvertisernents—" How cold it has been !"—ia
appropriate enough this morning. The frost hat tight was
the seve►est we ham had this winter, and the ther-
mometer today is 19 degrees below freezing point.

body, which was wrapped in a piece of white calico and in a
leather beg, was at once taken to the Clerken well Work-
bonen. It was seen by Dr. Brown, of Wilmingwo•aquare,

ENTHRONEMENT OF THE ARCHBISHOPOF DUBLIN.
The Archbishop of Dublin was on Moaday formally en-
throned, both in Christ Church and St. Patrick's CathedraL
His grace proceeded at eleven o'clock to Christ Church, and
was received by the choir, by whom he was conducted
through the nave to the place prepared for the scabrous-
ment, the choir meantime singing. After the Queen's
mandate and the letters patent had been read, his grace was
enthroned. The choir then sang a suitable anthem, and the
ceremony terminated. The Archbishop afterwards pro-
' eeeded to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where he was received by
the chapter, at one o'clock. The letters patent having been
read, his grace was enthroned.
THE COLLIERS' STRIKE AT WIGAN.—The men
employed by the Kirkleu Hall Coal Company is their Yard
Coalmieei have been on strike for the last twelve or
fourteen weeks. The original muse of the dispute was a
proposal by the masters to alter the system of payment.
and, instead of giving a uniform price for all sorts of
coal, to pay one sum for tube of small and another
for tubs of round, the workmen having to make the
separation. This they objected to, and the strike began.
The men now say that they ere willing to work either at
their old rate or under the new soak proposed by the firm,
provided the advance of 10 per cent. will be given to them,
as it has been to the other colliers of the district. This
refusal of the advance they allege to be the only
reason for their remaining on strike. At a pub-
lic meeting held in the Public Hall, Wigan, on
Monday evening, it was mated that the Yard Coal-
mine had been let to a charter-master or butty, who, it
appeared, wan offering higher wages than the men them-
selves asked. The system, however, was in great disfavour,
and the men at the meeting emphatically declared that
they would not work for a charter-master. In answer to a
question put by one of their number, the Yard coalmen
preseat declared that they would willingly work for the
firm at the wages paid by the charter-master. The men are
supported in the strike by the Miners' Society.
HEALTH OF LONDON—It appears from the
weekly return of the Registrar-General that in the we .k
that ended on Saturday 1,642 deaths were registered ,n
Loudon. The average number in corresponding weeks of
ten years is, with a correction for increase i porndatios,
1,558. The deaths of last week were, therefore, more by 84
than they would have been if the avenge rate of mortality
hod prevailed. The births registered in the week were
2,308, so they were numerous enough to supply the va-
cancies aimed by death, and to contribute, moreover, 666
lives to the increase of population. 356 persons died of
symotic diseases, including 15 by sniall.pox, 33 by measles,
93 by scarlatina, 13 by diphtheria, 76 by typhus, 51 by
hoopiog-cough. Of 313 deaths assigned to diseases of the

, by asthma, phtbisis was fatal in 165 cases.

persons died at the are of 80 years and upwards, a
pensioner is registered as having died in Newton-street,
Shoreditch, on the 29th Deeeniber at the age of 100 years.
Last week the births of 1,176 boys and 1,1'32 girls, in all
2,308 children, were registered in London. to the ten cur-
respoading weeks of the years 1653-62 the average number
(corrected) was 1.828. At the Royal Observatory, Green-
wich, the mean height of the barometer so the week was
29.946 inches. The barometrical reading was 29.55 inches

Iweek in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Olaisher). The
highest day temperature was 52.0 dogs. on Tuesday. The
i lowest night temperature wee 25.2 dogs. en Saturday. The

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two °Thom

The stock markets to-day are heavy, owing to
the uneasiness inspired by the Danish ques-
tion. The dealers in Consols are occupied
with preparations for the settlement to-morrow,
and the price of this stock is quoted the same as it
was yesterday afternoon, but the speculative foreign
bonds and home railway stocks have experienced
an average reduction of 1 to 3 per cent.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted
66fr. 65c., showing no change.
Consols are now quoted 9(.14 to 91, ex div.,
both for money and Thursday's settlement, and
911 to / for the 4th of February. The official busi-
ness report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols,
for money, 90/, 1, 91 ; ditto, for account, 904,
Three per Ceuta. Reduced, 901, 4 ; New Three
per Cents., 901, 91 ; India Five per Cent. Stock,
1061, 4 ; ditto Four per Cent., 100 ; ditto Bonds,
3s. dia. ; and Exchequer Bills, Is., ss. din, par.
Foreign stocks are heavy. Mexican has declined
/ per cent., Spanish Passive 4, Turkish ConsolideSs
4, and Turkish Bonds of 1858, 4 per cant. Greek
Bonds, however, are 2 per cent. better. Some of the
present quotations are annexed : Turkish 1864
Loan, 891 to 90 ; ditto, 1858, 691 to ;
ditto, 1862, 671 to 1, ex div. ; the Con-
solid4s, 47 to 3 ; Mexican, 361 to I ;
Greek, 241 to / ; and Passive, 334 to /.

Old Five per Cents, 1001 ; ditto 1852, 1858,
1860, 88 ; ditto 1863, 871 ; Egyptian, 1011 ;

International Financial shares are quoted 41
to / prem. ; General Credit, n to a prem. ; Lon-
don Financial, .9i to if prem. ; Hudson's Bay,
171 to 1, ex dir. ; Egyptian Trading, 11 to 2
prem. ; Merchant Banking, 4 to 1, prem. ;

Laud Credit and Mortgage, 1 to 1.1 prem.; Mer-
cantile Credit, 4/ to 5 prem. ; Discount Corpora-
tion, 4to prem.; and Contract Corporation, 2to 3
prem.

Only a moderate demand was experienced yester-
day at the Bank discount-office, and in the general
market there was no increase of movement, the
terms for choice bills remaining at to 7 per
cent., and six mouths' paper being still taken at
the former rate. An unsettled feeling is kept up
by the anticipation of renewed shipments of gold to
Brazil and Egypt, and some effect is likewise pro-
duced by the provision which is being made for
the repayment to the Bank of the quarterly ad-
vances, the amount of which is probably not less
than two millions. On the other hand, a large
supply of money will of course be derived from the
payment of the dividends, which commences on
Friday next.
At Vienna on Monday, the Austrian funds de-
clined per cent. The exchange indicates likewise
some return of distrust, having risen to 119.25.
The steamer Canada, from Boston, has brought
27,0001. in specie.
Little alteration occurred yesterday afternoon in
the Continental exchanges, but, as there is still a
fair demand for bills, the tendency cannot be con-
sidered favourable. The rates were as follows :
Amsterdam 3 months, 11.19 to I ; ditto, 3 days,
11.16 to 17; Rotterdam, 3 naafis, 11.19 to ; Antwerp,
3 mouths, 25.621 to 67A ; Hamburg, ms. box°, three moths,
13.71 to 8 : Paris, 3 city; r. to 30 ; ditto, 3 meths,

to 90; Yemeni, 3 months, 25.85 to 9 ; Lisbon, 90 days,
521 to ; OPatta, 9U days, 5:4 to 1.
With regard to a recent suspension in the silk
trade, the Manchester Examiner and Times of yester-
day contains the following :

The recent failure of Mr. John Ityle. silk throwster,
whose liabilities are supposed to be horn 40,0001. to 50,000/.,
has caused considerable alarm in the Macclesfield silk trade.
A °umber of manufacturers and tradesmen are likely to be
serious lovers by this suspension, ■nd one has been spokma
of as a ereditor to the amount of 16,0001. The sufferers
will be chiefly in Leek, Coegleton. and London. A rumour,
to which we do not at present attach entire credit, planes the
postible amount of lose in which various parties may be
involved as high as 200,0004
- -

An amalgamation has been arranged between the
West India and Pacific Steamship Company (Li-
mited) and the Liverpool, Western, and Spanish
American Steampacket C'ompany (Limited). The
director,' of the latter company, who are all largely
interested in the West Indian and Central American
trade, join the board of the West India Company.
Another new undertaking was announced yester-
day—the Grand International Alliance Hotels Com-
pany (Limited). The capital, which is fixed at
300,0001. (subject to increase), in 12,000 shares of
25/. each, is to consist of the double form of ordi-
nary shares and fully paid shares to bearer. The
chairman is Lord Arthur Lennox, chairman of the
Grosvenor Hotel Company, and the board is partly
English and partly Dutch. The object of the un-
dertaking is to establish a "through system" of
hotel accommodation between Holland, Belgium,
France, and England, the proposal being that
hotels belonging to this company in Holland
and Belgium shall act "en correspondence "
and in alliance with hotels already existing
in France and England and belonging to other
companies. Suitable sites for the proposed build-
ings have been selected at Amsterdam and Hotter-
' dam, while at Antwerp and Brussels arrangements
have been made for the purchase of existing esta-
blishments. The general manager is M. Edward
Dremel, who organised the Hotel du Louvre, at
Paris. The share list is to be closed on the 14th
inst.

The liquidators of the London Discount Company
(Limited) have convened a meeting of the share-
holders for the 15th inst.

The half-vearly meeting of the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway Cumpany is called for the
29th inst.
