THE EXTRAORDINARY DEATH W.' A CHIL:,

AT UPPER CLAPTOIf.

INQUEST AND VERDICT.—(THIS DAY.)
This forenoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner,
resumed at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower Homertou,
the inquiry relative to the supposed murder of the iik-
gitimate child of Mary Ann Shinn, a domestic servant.
The accused was brought up in the custody of Inspector
Bywater. She was so affected with grief and fear th:4
police-constable had to support her on a chair to prevent
her falling off it on to the door. _

The facie have already appeared in our columns.
To-day, after other wituesaes had been examined, the
jury returned the following verdict—" That the I,CeAS,-
child was found dead in a chimney from the mortal ei.. s
of a punctured wound in the neck inflicted by the mother
accidentally in attempting to deliver herself."
The Coroner said that no doubt the prisoner would
be charged with the concealment of birth.
Inspector Bywater said that be would take her before
the magistrate on that charge.
The young woman was then removed in enstn ly.
screaming.

Messrs. Barstow, Newton, and Stately Hill,
the commissioners appointed to inquire into the existence
of bribery and oorrupt practices at the last election for Cds
borough, resumed their investigation at Lancaster on
Satyiday:
MONTALEMBRRT ON THE ENi•LI`IM NATION.—
The third volume of AL Montalembert's - Monks of the
West," opens with a sketch of the English nation. His
idea at once of their character, and of the causes that have
moulded it, is expressed in the following passage :—" De-
spite of a thousand inconsistencies, a thousand excesses, a
thousand foul blots, the English race is, of all modern
races and of all Christian communities, the one which has
best preserved the three fundamental bases of every
society worthy of man—the spirit of liberty, the spirit
of family, and the spirit of religion. How has this
nation, in which pagan pride still survives and triumphs,
and which has yet remained even in error the most reli-
gious of all the nations of Europe, how canto it to be
Christian ? How and by what bands, have these im-
perishable roots been implanted ? The question is st'rely
the most important of all those which history makes men-
tion of, and its interest is the more important when we
consider that on the conversion of England depended, and
still depends, the conversion of many millions of Paula
English Christianity was the 'source of the Christianity.of
Germany. From the depths of Germany the missionaries
formed by the Anglo-Saxons carried the faith into
Scandinavia, and among the Slaves ; and day after day, at
the present moment, either by the fruitful expansion of
Irish orthodoxy, or by the stubborn impulsion of pro-
testant propagandism, Christian societies are created,
speaking English and living English life, through the
whole of North America, in both the Indies, is vast
Australia, and among the islands of the Pacific. Over
nearly half the world Christianity has !lowed, or will flow,
from the source which first gushed out from the soil of
Britain. To that question we are enabled to reply with
rigorous exactness. No people on earth have received the
Christian faith more directly from the Roman church, and
more exclusively through the agency of the monks, than
the English."
ARREST OF A GENTLEMAN ON A CHARGE OF
BOSSE/W.—For several months past a gentleman named
Stewart, said to he a captain in the army, has been living
with his wife and family in the parish of Hurstuourne
Tenant, during which time he has become well known, to
the inhabitants of Andover and neighbourhood, and to the
gentlemen of the Tedworth hunt, with which pack he was
' often seen bunting in scarlet. :bole considerable coaster-
cation was caused on Friday afternoon, when it became
known that the captain was in the hands of the borough
police, charged with robbing a Mr. Henly, a farmer of
Linkenholt, of some Bank of England notes. On the next
morning he was taken before the Rev. C. Dodson, at
Penton, who, after heating the case, remanded him
until Saturday (to-d,ay), when a special meeting of the
county magistrates will be held to hear the case. The
main features are these:—On the 14th of December
last, Mr. Henly and Captain Stewart were both in
Andover, and went to Hurstbourne together, the cap-
tain riding with Mr. Healy in his . At this
time Mr. Henly says ho had a pocket-book containing,
amongst other papers, seven 5/. Bank of England notes.
When he arrived home, he found that his pocketbook was
mining. He communicated with the superintendent of
police at Andover, Mr. Campbell, and the pocket-book,
papers, and notes were advertised for, and a reward offered'
for their recovery ; at the same time, the numbers being
known, the authorities of the Bank of England were com-
municated with, and the notes stopped. blr. Campbell, a
few days after, received a letter from the Bank, dating
that some of the notes had been paid in. He immediately
proceeded to London, and traced the notes to the parties,
who stated that they had received them from Captain
Stewart for the purpose of getting them changed for notes
of larger value. These are the bare facts of the case so far
as the prosecution is concerned. On the other hand, it is
but justice to the accused to say that his answer to the
charge is that Mr. Henly lent him the notes. The captain
has been the whole week in gaol, the magistrate having
refused bail.—Saliderry Journal.
THE BARNSLEY COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—AiI
im-
portant document has been issued by the committee
of the Oaks Colliery Relief Fund, giving some
reliable information as to the extent of the disaster
and the sum required to meet the large amount
of distress it has caused. It appears that the number
of persons at present dependent upon the fund supplied
by the liberality of the public is 628, of whom 214
are women (133 of them widows) and 356 children,
the remainder being men wholly or partly supported
by sons who were killed by the explosion. Acting
upon experience derived from the distribution of the
Lundhill Relief Fund of 1857 the committee believe that
they will require at least 75,000!., if an adequate fund
is to be provided for the " relief of the overwhelming
distress occasioned by the greatest colliery accident ever
known." At the present moment only 10,000/. has been re-
ceived. The committee, whilst appealing to the public for
help, express the hope that as an effort is being made to
establish a permanent colliery accident fund for South
Yorkshire, the present will be the last occasion on which
such an appeal will be n .
SALE OF NEGROES IN YLAND.—BALTIMORE,
DEC. IC —Four negroes, convicted of larceny and ordered to
be sold by Judge Magruder, were sold by auction at Anna-
polis on Saturday. About 20 or 30 farmers were present
at the sale. The first one sold was John Johnson, who
bid for himself, the auctioneer taking his bid. He was
finally knocked down to himself and became his own
appraiser for 37 dole. Another man brought 35 dole., and
two girls brought respectively 22 doh'. and 30 dols. each.
There was an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau at the sale,
and it was thought that the bidding would have been more
spirited hut fur the fact that the impression seemed to
prevail that the officer in qquestion was about to interfere
with the right of the purchaser, and release the negroes
from their custody.
SALE OF AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS.—The A rago
and Fulton, comprising the New York and Havre line—
the only American line now in operation—have been sold
by auction in New York. There was but a single bid,
and they were knocked down to Mr. Learnard W. Jer 'me
fur 300,000 dole. It was understood that Mr. Jerome
acted for the company. The New York and Havre Steam
Navigation Company was formed in 1848. Both its steamers,
the Humboldt and Franklin, were afterwards lost, and
the line was reorganised in 1855, Ixolling the Arago and
Fulton in the next two years. The two cost a million dol-
len, and another half million was expended in repairs. It
is not yet decided what the directors will do with the
vessels thus thrown back on their hands, but it was
thought probable that arrangements would be made by
which the steamers will be run as before.

I—
THE FENIAN PRISONERS IN CANADA.—We have
already spoken of the letter of the Fenian President
Roberts to the prisoner Lynch, communicating bin pa-
triotic wish that the latter might be hanged for the pur-
pose of rousing his fellow countrymen. It appears that
Lynch has had a chance of showing his appreciation of
Colonel Roberts's sentiments. Roberts has lately set
on foot a subscription for the purpose of procuring
a Christmas dinner for the Fenian prisoners in
Canada, and this coming to their ears has occa-
sioned the following proclamation to be put forth :
Toronto Gaol, Dec. 21.—T0 the Fenian brotherhood and
friends of the Fenian prisoners in New York and vici-
nity—The undersigned have been authorised by their
fellow prisoners under sentence of death, and those yet
to be tried, to caution their friends in New York
city and vicinity against responding to the appeal
made to them by Colonel Roberts, President of the Fenian
brotherhood, for contributions towards procuring
Christmas dinners. This appeal might be made with
propriety for paupers and convicts on Blackwell's Island,
or some similar institution, but is a gross insult to the
Irishmen held as political prisoners in Canada. Never
having received any aid or assistance from the Fenian
headquarters during their long confinement in Toronto
gaol, they consider this last appeal of President Roberts
as adding insult to injury. They earnestly entreat their
friends not to outrage their feelings, and that they may
be spared this cruel humiliation. On behalf and by re
quest of 3$ of my fellow pprisoners. ROBERT RIAmS
LYNCH." Father McMahon endo ses the letter. The poor
fellows are beginning to And out how they have been
gulled.—Boston Advertiser, Dec. 25.
COPPER ()RE FROM THE COLORADO.—A. schooner
had arrived at San Francisco from the Colorado river,
bringing 3,514 sacks or about 210 tons copper ore. This is
by far the largest shipment of copper ore ever made from
that place. The ores generally found are carbonates of
copper, which are easily worked, being reduced to com-
mercial purity at one smeltin,..•• From the statement made
by parties interested in mining in Arizona, we can soon
expect continuous shipments of large quantities of copper
ore. which will have to be reduced to pure metal before
shipment to foreign porta.—Panama Star.
IMPORTATION OF BIRDS INTO HAWKES BAY,
No! ZEALAND.—A number of birds have been im-
ported in the Electra by the provincial govern.
ment, consisting of golden, silver, and common phea-
sants, partridges, and some song birds, which were
purchased in England by Mr. Carter, out of
the 2501. voted by the council last year for acclimatisation.
The number of birds originally shipped WAS very large,
but, notwithstanding every care was taken of them, a
great many Wed.—New Zealand Advertiser.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Owl o'Owcz.

The thaw, and the carting away of a mass of
filth from the streets, have removed the diffi-
culties which attended locomotion during a por-
tion of last week, and the City has to-day ,
resumed its ordinary business-like aspect, yet the'
stock markets are somewhat quieter. With the ex-
ception of Consols,which exhibit a reaction of j per
cent., prices generally are well maintained, and in
some cases are better, especially as regards British
railway securities and foreign bonds. The improve-
ment, however, is confined to a few descriptions,
and is not important. In the miscellaneous de-
partment the most noteworthy feature is • fall of
10s. in National Discount shares, on a rimour that
the forthcoming dividend will be less satisfactory
than has been hoped for by some of the speculators.
The demand for money to-day is moderrte, and
in some quarters there is a disposition to take the
best short dated paper at 3i per cent., in anticipa-
tion of the payment of the dividends on Wednes-
day next. The rate in the Stuck Exchange for
loans from day to day, on English Government
securities, is 2 to 2i per cent.

Consols are now quoted 901 to 3, ex div., bob
for money and the 10th inst., and 90:.. to 1, ex div.,
for the February account.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are in demand, and have
improved . per cent. Turkish of 1865, Russian
Scrip, and Mexican have also advanced 1. Turkish
Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 55, ex div. ; ditto
of 1865, 321 to 3 ; Greek, 144 to 1 Spanish Pas-
sive, 201 to 21i ; ditto Certificates, 14 to 1; Italian
of 1861, 531 to 1, ex div. ; Mexican, 18 to 3 ; and
Russian Scrip, 11 to 14 prem.
United States 5-20 Bonds have declined 1 per
cent., and Erie Railway shares 1, but Illinois
Central aro unchanged. Prices are quoted as fol-
lows :-5-20 bonds, 721 to 73; Erie Railway shares,
451 to 46 ; and Illinois Central, 811 to 821.

Anglo-American Telegraph shares are called 151
to 161 ; and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent.
Preference, 3g to 1, showing no alteration.
International Financial shares are quoted 2/
to 2 dis. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dim. ;
General Credit, 2to 11 dia., ex all ; Credit Foncier,
81 to 41 dis. ; National Discount, 9 to g prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 17, ex div.
The half-yearly meeting of the East and West
India Dock Company will be held un the 16th inst.,
when a dividend will be declared for the six
months ending the 31st ult. It is also proposed
to augment the present capital stock of the under-
taking by a further sum of 320,0001.

The transfer books of the London and Provincial
Marine Insurance Company will be dosed from
Wednesday, the 16th instant, to Friday, the let of
February, both days inclusive, preparatory to the
general meeting.

The Cuba, from New York, has brought 78,000/.
in specie.

About 6,000/. in bar gold was taken to the Bank
on Saturd, while 10,000 sovereigns were with-
drawn fur Egypt.
The amount of government bills on India for
which tenders will be received at the Bank of
