THE EXiRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1866.

From the evidenoe of Polico-eonstable 737 P it appeared
that on the pervious night, about half-put 7 o'clock,
he was called to No. 3, Charlotte-mut, Oaraberweli,
where he found Donovan suffering from a severe wound on
the right hand. He was then informed that the female had
initiated the injury with a knife, and at the request of the
man he took her into custody. She was quite sober at the
time, and did not deny the charge. The man had failed to
appear against prisoner since.
Prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, paid she did not
attempt to deny the chary, but that she never meant to
use the knife. The man had lived with her for four years,
and she had provided him with a good home. On the
previous night he came in, abused, and Wised her by the
throat, and nearly strangled her. He also dashed a hot
cup of tea in her face, and having the knife in her band
she ran and made a plunge at him. He put up his band
and caught the blade, and so caused the injury.
Police constable 129 P said he knew tits man as having
been convicted several times. The prisoner worked very
hard for him, and he scarcely did anything for a mainte-
'ranee at all. .

in demand, and has experienced a fresh rise of 1
per cent., viz., to 221 to I. On the other hand,

The iniiiitrate said it was a serious matter when' a
knife was used, and it was fortunate for prisoner that the
injury was not more severe. For &further investigation of
the oasis he should remand the misoner.
Prisoner, who still declared that she never meant to do
it, was then remanded.

There is little business in the Stock Exchange
to-day, apart from that connected with the fort-
nightly settlement, which is now being completed.
The tendency of the various markets is still rather
unfavourable. The transactions in English govern-
ment stocks consist chiefly of sales, and Consols
exhibit a fresh reduction of per cent., both for
money and the account. Other securities, in_
eluding British railways, foreign bonds, and bank-
ing and financial shares, present very few varia-
tions.

The applications for discounts to-day are mode-
rate, but there is a rather good demand for loans
in connection with the settlement to the Stock Ex-
change, where the rate for short advances on Eng-
lish Government securities is 74 to 8 per cent. The
charge in Lombard-street for choice bills is Bto 9
per cent.

At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 68.82.
At the Bank discount office yesterday the demand
was quiet, and as it is understood that a large por-
tion of the bills discounted by the Bank in the
panic week ending May 16—during which single
week the increase in the "other securities" reached
the enormous sum of 10,099,0421.—are now
maturing, there is every prospect that the
improvement in the Bank's accounts will be
rapid. This will be aided by the antici-
Fated influx of gold to that establishment. Specie
remittances from Australia, America, India, Egypt,
and the continent are expected; and, though there
is still some demand for gold for exportation, it is
insufficient to absorb the whole of the incoming
supplies. The extent to which distrust is still
interfering with the ordinary operations of com-
merce may be gathered from the fact that gold is
now being shipped both toays between this country
and the continent, owing to the discredit of mer-
cantile paper. The reduction which is expected to
take place on Thursday next in the Bank rate of
discount will be peculiarly acceptable, as tending
to correct this anomalous condition of affairs.
Bar silver experienced a further reduction of Id.
yesterday, the present quotation being fa. Oid. per
ounce. Mexican dollars were also flat, at 4s. 101 d.
to 4e. Ild.

The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of 2881. 18a. ld. on account of the dividends
on the debt of Ecuador.
The following, with reference to the Mexican
dividends, was posted yesterday in the Stock Ex-
change
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. Five notice that the
following remittances have been received from Vera Cruz:
—354,201.4'a in dollars, and 49,1591. 14s. 4d. in bills of
ezchange.—London, 30th July, 1866.
It is stated that a further remittance will be sent
by the next monthly or mid-monthly mail to com-
plete the payment of the July dividends on the
original three per cent. stock.
Step by step the government of Venezuela has
sunk deeper in financial infamy. Some persons of
an optimist turn of mind have been disposed to
hope that the violation of the engagements of the
government with the bondholders of the British
1862 Loan arose from peculiar circumstances, and
that an attempt would soon be made to
effect at least some compromise, butthe government
has now given the finishing touch to its bad re-
putation by laying violent hands likewise upon the
funds specially assigned to the bondholders of the
loan of 1864. The gloss which it is attempted to
put upon the case merely serves to render the
outrage more flagrant. The credit of Venezuela
is now, of course, totally extinguished, until, by
long years of loss, she shall have expiated her error.
It only remains now for all classes of her bond-
holders to act in unison, and to take such measures
las shall tend to bring this dishonest state to a
better understanding of her duties. In the first in-
stance, recourse will doubtless be had for assistance
to the British government.
The following circular, announcing a proposed
call of 101. per share on the shares in Overend,
Gurney, and Co. (Limited), has been issued by the
liquidators of that undertaking :
In Chancery.—ln the matter of the Companies Act,
1862, and in the matter of Overend, Gurney, and Co.
(Limited). Notice is hereby given that we, the under-
signed liquidators, appointed to wind up the above-named
company, shall on Monday, the 20th day of Auguat, 1866, at
twelve o'clock at noon precisely, at No. 65, Lombard.
street, in the city of London, proceed to make a call on
the seceral persons who have been settled on the list of
contributories of the said company, and that we propose
that such call shall be for ten pounds per share on all the
contributories of the said company. All persons interested
are entitled to attend at such day, hour, and place, to
offer objections to such all.

Dated the 28th day of July, 1866.
The following is the report of the directors of
the St. Janice' Hotel Company (Limited) which
was adopted at the general meeting on Saturday,
the 28th inst.:
It will be remembered that is January last
annum an interim
dividend at the rate of 51. per cent. per was paid
for the preoedin4 half year. The profit and lose amount
for the year ending the 30th ult. will allow of the pay-
ment of a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum,
thus continuing the payment of a dividend of 10 per Fent.
from the opening of the hotel. The directors accordingly
recommend this payment, lees the interim dividend
already paid. In conformity with the articles of association
of the company, two of the directors, viz., Mr. Murray
and Mr. Talbot, will retire at this meeting. They are,
however, eligible for re-election, and offer themselves so-
cordingly.

MO ET MARSET.-(THLS DAT.) Masers. Neill Brothers and Co. of New York,
in their circular dated the 17th inst., referring to
the prospects of the growing crop of option, give the
following practicsl denial to the statements which
have been so freely !awarded in this country res-
pecting the unwillingness of the freed negroes in
the South to resume their accustomed industry
We have again to report a week of fine and warm

by ocdaional showers which are extremely beneficiaL •
correspondent in Alabama, writing after a journey from
Montgomery to Eufaula, thraogh an important cotton
district, says of that district thiit about 25 per cent. more
bind was planted in cotton than ever before, a most . re,
rearleabin admission after ell we have been hear-
lag of scarcity of labour and unwillingness to
work of the negroee, and the refusal of the women to go
into the fields. This latter assertion, that the women don't
' work, we have the bad reason to know from oar own ob-
servation and inquiries is not universally true ; but on the
contrary, nearly every field gang contains moreOs IMO
women, and although every planter one meets says the
women don't work, he at the same time, if ressed on.the
point, admits that his women do work, 'rebut they are
I the exception." The same correspondent mentions that
in the country alluded to, the crops are a month late,
and the stands not good, and that many of the beet lands
were " drowned out," so that an estimate of one-half of a
former crop for that district would be high enough, even
with favourable weather henceforward. In a later Weer.
dated 13th July, after returning to Montgomery by a diffe-
rent route, he says the prospect te better on that rest.
From the south-west our advice, this week continue
favourable.
