THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26, 1866.

Cereal that had elapsed sines the hat easelen ; and he WA
he was sorry to ieform them that there were co less tire
sir charges involving the destruction of human life, three
of murder sad three of momstaagleter. The Ant case of !
murder was of a peculiar character. The prisoner
wee amused of the murder of his wife, and it
appeared that she was deformed and in very
bad health, and, being in that condition, the pr:soner,
while is a side of intoxicatioe, pushed her off a chair in
which she was sitting, aid by the fall both her thighs were
broken, and she died from the result of this injure. The
widowed the medical mee wee to the effect that the
violence of the prisoner trieeleratel the death of the de-
missed, sod if this should be established to their sates°-
. tree it would be tbeir duty to find a. true ball. Among the
awes of manslaughter was one await three persons of
having mug d the dealt of a polim-omatable by brutal
Melones, and if the facie should be made out to their sails'
faction, it would be their duty to »tura a true bill.
There was another case in the calendar which was of a
peculiar chareetar. It was a charge agaiost six sailors for
causing a revolt on board the ship Scotland while op her
pump from Calcutta to this country. It appears that the
men complained of the quality of the water, and the quary
of the bread supplied to them, and while the espial() wee
nefertunately confined to his bed with a broken lee, they
look porramatra of the ship and altered her course for several
dark at the expiration of which they changed their minds
&Edge's op the ship to the proper officers on condirion
that the entry in the log book of their revolt should
be destroyed. The charge was of a serious mature,
and it would be well that the grand jury should 1
velure a tree bill. The Loused Deputy-Recorder ad-
verted to the case of Netnews°, charged with forging
and utterieg certnie transfers of shares in Cornish miens.
remarking that the case presented sus legal difficulty, and
they therefore would leave the indictments, which were
Ike or six in number, to be disposed of by a potty jury in
this court. There would be presented to the grand
Puy indictuseets .gavel a gentlemen named Rent.
sad two other green', for publishing a scandalous libel
neon Mr. Sotbern, the eminent comedian. The mart
ham that Mr. Kent was as respectable a man as any in
the trite of Landon. and be had only been the mesas of
publishing, the libel coon:lake! of, bad that the really
guilty paras were these who had written sod were the
anthem of the libel in question. After briefly referring to
Mbar eases in the calendar which were of minor improviser's,
the Deputy-Recorder remitted them to the commencement
el their labmirs.

MONEY MARX ]IT.-(THIS DAY.)

Oxa o'Oxeow.
The news of the revolution in Roumania, and of
the movements amongst the Russian troops on the
Prnth, has had an tusfavourable effect upon the stock
and share markets, which generally show dulness.
The amount of business is limited, attention
being occupied with preparations for the settle-
ment of the half-monthly account, which has just
commenced. Turkish, Egyptian, and Danubian secu-
rities exhibit chief heaviness, and have given way.
The reduction in the latter amounts to 2 per cent.
Consols have declined it per cent., and some of the
British railways Ito I. Financial shares, however,
remain steady, and a rise is observable in Credit
Fonder and Mobilier.

The discount market continues quiet, and trans-
actions have taken place to-day at Of per cent., or ,
f below the Bank minimum. Very few bills are
falling due just now, and there is an expectation
that the Bank rate may be reduced again either

Stock Exchange is 4 to 5 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 87f to; for money, and
87} to for the account (March 8).
The dealings in the foreign stock market are
not numerous, and the tone is fiat. Turkish
bonds of 1858, 1862, and 1865 are especially
heavy, and have declined a to f per cent. Spanish
Passive, the Committee's Certificates, Italian,
and Brazilian and Egyptian scrips have also re-
ceded to a. The quotations are as follows :
Greek, 13} to 141 ; Mexican, 23 to ; Spanish
Passive, 27 to ; ditto Certificates, 16a to f ;
Turkish, 1858, 68} to 694; ditto 1862, 65a to 664 ;
ditto 1865, 38 to ; Brazilian scrip, 2to prem. ;
Egyptian scrip, Ito 1 prem. ; and Italian, 1861,
60f to I.

An important undertaking has been announoed
under the title of the Imperial Land Company
of Marseilles (Limited). The capital is 1,600,0001.
in 80,000 shares of 201. each, of which 11. per
share is to be paid on application and 41. on
allotment. Subscriptions for the capital are invited
by the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England in
oonjunction with the Agra and Masterman Bank
and the National Bank, and all these three power-
ful establishments are represented upon the board,
which is very strongly constituted. This com-
pany has acquired nearly the whole of the
available building land in Marseilles, and a
lengthened description of the position and nature
of the properties purchased is given in the prospeo-
tus. The magnitude of the affair may be estimated
from the fact that the total amount of purchases is
no less than 3,325,1631., of which 2,668,6401. is pay-
able by instalments spread over various dates and
extending in part to a period of 50 years, and only
658,5231. in cash, on taking over the estates. It is
therefore expected that " with the aid of the com-
pany's borrowing powers not more than 101. per
share will be required on those shares not fully paid
up on allotment." The undertaking has been well
matured, having been nearly twelve months is
course of organisation, and during the period which
has elapsed since the company has been constituted,
a portion of the properties has been sold upon
contract at a profit of about 600,0001., of which
the company is to have the benefit. We
extract from the prospectus the following explana-
tion of this part of the affair, as well as of the pro-
posed arrangements for paying interest on the
capital at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the
first two years :
As evidenos of the value of the purzhaass, the directors
have the satisfaction to appointee 'hat they have already
oonoludel arrangements with an association of builders at
Marseilles, to trawler to them one of the properties ithe
Joliette property) at a profit of about 603,q00/., such pro-
perty and profits to be paid for by annuities and sinkieg
fund over a period of thirty years, with option on their
pert to pay for the whole at any time during five years,
with an obligation on the part of the contractors to deposit
a sum of four 1111 Lions of intone (160,0001.) as caution
money, at Load periods (the first iestal.nent of which was
paid os the execution of the contract), and also to cover
the property with buildings within a period of five yew-.
The shareholders will have the benefit of this contra*
end from °amber, 1867, will noelse the income derivable
from this contract, viz., the difference between the in-
anities to be paid and received by the company, and this
income joined to the existing revenue from the C .talans
estate, as well aa to the anticipated profit on further sate
during that psriod, will, it is estimated, not only suable
the directors to amnions the payment of the interest at 10
-ier cent per annum, but enable them to declare periodical
cottages on the capital called up. As the first payments
of annuities aid root under the arrangements mitered into
with regard to the Joliette property do not commence until
the Ist October, 1867, and become payable only in the
subsequent balf-year, viz., the let April, 1868, the di-
rectors have decided to pay interest at the rate el 10 per
ant. per 'nom for two Fenn, from Hank 1866, on the
capital called up, sod for which four interest warrants will
be snitched to the share certificates at the time of issue
(which will be charged to hied purchases acoonot). After
that date the reverse from the Joliette laud. the rent4s
(ram the other properties, and profits on f urdier sales, will
be applicable for dividend or bonuses.
It is proposed that the company shall act
primarily as " middlemen," their object being
to purchase land and re-sell it at a profit, leaving
the construction of buildings to the usual con-
tractors. The deep personal interest taken by the
Emperor Napoleon in the prosperity of Marseilles
has long been known, and as the Company's opera-
tions must tend to a more rapid development and
improvement of the city. and port, the special pro
tection of his Majesty is reasonably counted upon
by the directors. A portion of the shares, not
exceeding 30,000, may be allotted in the fully paid
up form. The brokers are Messrs. Mullen*,
Marshall, and Daniell ; Hill, Fawcett, and Hill ;
and Laurence, Son, and Pearce.
The traffic receipts of the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway for the month of January, on
507 miles open, were 504,991 dols. (exclusive of the
Oil Creek Railway receipts), against 289,400 dole.
in January, 1865, and 160,000 dole. in January,
1864.
The half-yearly meeting of the Ottoman Railway
Company will be held on the 29th of March, sad a
special general meeting is convened for Friday, the
13th of April.
