be observed the footman come out with a hamper,
which lie gave to the other man. The prisoner walked
away with the hamper, but was soon afterwards
stopped by the constable, who asked him what lie
had got in it. He replied—Nome glass, which he
had received from the footman to mend. Not being satia-
ted with his explanation he took him and the hamper to
Tooting pelice.station. The harp erwas then examined,and
was found to contain 42 glasses, two tuniblera, a water bottle,
two decanters, a quantity of soap and candles,grapes, pears,
and plates. Thu constable, accompanied by Sergeant
Haynes, afterwards returned to Mr. Wyatt's house, and
apprehended the footman, who maple no reply to the

a variety of small articles. The neat morning the police

The sergeant proved that none of the glass was broken.
Mr. Wyatt :as° proved that he was under the impression

Mr. Ingham remanded the prisoners for the depositions.

THE SHOCKING SUICIDE OF AN ARTILLERY
lOLUNTEER IN THE CITY.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This forenoon Mr. Wm. J. Payne, deputy-
coroner, held an inquiry at the Vestry-room of the church
of St. Peter-le-Poor, Old Broad-streel, respecting the
suicide of Mr. Edwin Payne.
Mr. Wontner, junior, solicitor, attended to watch the
case on behalf of the friends of the deceased. _

Anne Risbrook said that she was servant at No. 5,
Adams-court, Old Broad-street, City. The deceased was
a clerk employed by Messrs. Brown and Co., merchants.
On Monday morning he called at the office at ten minutes
to o'clock. He came there rather earlier than was his
usual habit. When he arrived there were two workmen
there. They went into an inside office and leftthe deceased
in the outer one. Witness asked the deceased to unlock
a door for her. He was then sitting at a table, and his
head was resting on his hands. He appeared to be the
same as usual, with the exception that he was very pale.
He rose, and after some difficulty he unlocked
the door. He shortly afterwards darted out of the office
and took some letters out of witness's hand. They had
been felt by the postman, and witness was going to put
them into the letter box. He then returned to the
office. In a short time witness called, " Mr. Payne, Mr.
Payne." Receiving no answer she entered the inner
office, and she there saw the gentleman lying on
the floor, near the dark. He was stretched at
full length, and his hand was pressed against
his left side near his heart. Witness asked him where he
had put the key. She thought that he was asleep. There
was a smell of powder in the room. She saw no sign of
blood on the floor. She saw no gun in the room. He was
a volunteer, but witness never saw him with his gun at
the office. Witness thought that the deceased was in a
fit when he did not answer her. She called one
of the workmen into the office. The workmen bad gone
into another office. The door which divided them from
the deceased was open. A man named Cooper came to
witness's assistance. His usual time for coming to the
office was half-past 9 o'clock. On the morning of his
committing the fatal act he came before any of the other
clerks had arrived.

The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Wontner, with
the view of showing that the deceased was " rather wild"
in his manner on the morning in question.
itobert Cooper, No. 2, Providence-place, Finsbury, a
painter employed at the offices on the morning of the oc-
currence, said that he saw the deceased walking up the
street with a carbine in his hand. He was in a hurry to
get into the office, and be not only rang the bell but
knocked at the window. When the door was opened he ran
into the passage and said, " Have yon fellows got any firesr
He was told that they had, and he went and warmed his
hands at the tire. He robbed his hands and said, "I am
going out for a day's shooting over the marshes." He then
tore up some letters and said "These are my love letters,
and I must burn them in case they are bowled out by my
friends at home getting them." In one of the letters was
a valentine. He said " Which of you chaps has
got any kids?" and upon the other man, Vivian, telling
him that he had, he handed him the valentine. After he
burned the love letters he went into the other room. He
hail asked them whether they were going to break-
fast, and upog being informed that they had
taken it be made no remark. In a short time
the report of a gun was heard, and witness said,
"He is practising for his day's shooting. I hope that be
won't take us for a coupleof sparrows, and pop us off." The
girl then mlled them, and they found the deCeSßed lying dead.
The police and a doctor were sent for. There was •
carbine lying on the floor near the body. His head was
eon a sack, which be had evidently placed on the
rti
grsotin for that purpose. The muzzle of the gun was in a
slanting direction towards the wound. The stock was near
his right leg.
After hearing more evidence, the jury returned a verdict
—" That the deceased destroyed his own life whilst in a
state of tempurery insanity.'

On Monday, while a number of ladies and
gentlemen were skating on the pond at the Zoological
Gardens, Dublin, the ice suddenly gave way, and five
Wire were precipitated Into the water. Six gentlemen
immediately plunged in for the purpose of rescuing the
ladies, but were unable to do so, or even to extricate
themselves. Ultimately three more gentlemen went to
the assistance of the party, and succeeded in taking them
all out safely, but not until some of the ladies were very
much exhausted—one in particular, who was the first to
fall in, and, unfortunately, the last to be extricatmL
Medical aid being at hand, all those immersed soon reco-
vered from the effects of the mishap.

Some idea of the cheapness of steamboat and
railway transit may be formed from the fact that Dutch
butter is now sent from Rotterdam to Harwich by steamer,
and from the latter place to the south of England by rail,
and the cost of carriage all the way is less than one
farthing per lb., and Normandy butter is sent from St.
Malo to Southampton by steamboat, and from thence to
London by rail, and the cost of carriage amounts to only
ono half-farthing per lb.

We read in the France:—" A very significant
observation with respect to the position of Prussia is
attributed in political circles in Berlin to King William :
' In order to consolidate the Northern Confederation,
Prussia requires a year's tranquillity. It is for this
reason I appreciate in the highest degree the pacific incli-
nations expressed in the words uttered by the Emperor on
New Year's-day.'

The proprietors of the Tremont, Revere, and
Parker Houses and other principal hotels in Boston have
been arrested and convicted of selling liquor in violation
of the prohibitory liquor law of Massachusetts. They
have been sentenced each to pay a fine of t dole. and
undergo three months' imprisonment, but have appealed
to a higher court, and will have another trial of their
cases.

1/0..VE1 MARKET.-(THI8 DAY.)

Oirs o'Ciuoi.

The English funds are rather dull to-day, and
exhibit a reduction of 1-16 to per cent. It is under
stood that a large amount of stock bought some
weeks ago by a leading joint stock bank has just
been sold, and that upon this transaction some of
the speculators have also closed their accounts, with
a iew L., secure profits. Hence the existing flat-
ness of C‘msols, in spite of the re-investment of a
portion of the dividends. The fortnightly settlement
having been completed, the amount of business in
other securities is rather larger than yesterday,
but the variations in prices are not numerous.
The changes in the railway market are
about evenly balanced. Amongst the foreign
bonds, Italian of 1861 are still inquired for ; but
ISpanisit Passive show dulness, in consequence of
the reported failure of the negotiations for a new
loan in Paris.

The discount market is exceedingly quiet to-
day, many bills being held back in expectation
of a reatiction in the Bank rate to-morrow
to 1 per ctnit. The impression that the
will be lowered, however, is not
general, owing to the demand for gold for expor
tation to the Continent, and the consequent pros-
Peet of withdrawals from the Bank. The quota-
tion for the best paper in Lombard-street is 3 per
cent., but occasional transactions are quoted'at 21.
The charge for loans in the Stock Exchange is I to
21,er cent.
Consols are now quoted 90; to 91 for money,
and 90 15-16 to 91 1-16 for the sth of February.
Italian Bonds of 1861 are still in demand, and
have further improved per cent. On the other
hand, Spanish and Mexican have declined 1.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 55, ex
div. ; ditto of 1865, 29} to ;;, ex div. ; Greek,
141 to ; Spanish Passive, 21 to 1; ditto Cortiti-
cute', 14;.: to K ; Italian of 1861, 54 to}, ex div. ;
Mexican, 17: to 181 ; and Russian Scrip, to 1
prem.

American securities have declined Ito per cent.
The 5-2 J Bonds are quoted 72,., to ; Erie Railway
shares, 4414 to 40 ; and Illinois Central, 81 to 1.
International Financial shares are quoted 2il

The following meetings have just been con-
vened :—The Electric and International Telegraph
Company for the Gth of February ; the London
Tavern Company for the 4th of February ; the
British Shipowners' Company for the 24th inst. ;
Scottish Australian Investment Company for the
Ist of February, and the Indian Carrying Company
for the 2*.ird inst.

HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols are now quoted 902 to both for money
and the 7th of February.
1;30,000 in bar gold has been withdrawn from
the Bank to-day for exportation. The demand at
the Bank discount office has been quiet.
The question asto whether a reduction in the Bank
minimum to 3per cent. is likely to takeplace tomor-
row is engaging discussion. If the general state of
the Bank's accounts be only looked at, the directors
will probably follow the market to 3 per cent., but
it seems very possible that the step may be delayed,
in consequence of the revival of the demand for
gokl for the continent, which appears to be suffi-
ciently strong to take all the arrivals, and may
also lead to some moderate withdrawals from the
Bank. The immediate supply of money is in-
creased, owing to the payment this week of about
a million and a quarter as dividend to the creditors
of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited).
An instalment of 151., making 23/. paid, fell
due yesterday on the Russian loan for 6,000,000/.,
recently introduced by Messrs. Baring Brothers
and Co.

The foreign exclumges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented no alteration of importance. The rates
for bills on Hamburg and Vienna were slightly more
favourable for this country. The list is given

A telegram from Calcutta, of the 3rd inst., an-
nounces that the profits of the Bank of Bengal
(Government) for the half-year ending the 31st
December last have equalled 11} per cent. A divi-
dend of 10 per cent. has been declared, and the
balance carried to the reserve fund.
The Consolidated Bank have announced that
their half-yearly meeting will be held on Thursday,
the 24th inst., at the London Tavern, when a pay-
ment of interest to shareholders for the half-year
ending 31st December last will be declared. It is
understood that at the same time it will be stated
that the bank is prepared to cash its outstanding
promissory notes less rebate of interest.
The following is the fourth report of the direc-
tors of the International Financial Society
(Limited), to be presented at the general meeting
convened for Friday, the 25th inst., at the London
Tavern :

The directors have the pleasure of submitting herewith,
for the consideration of the shareholders, the accounts of
the society for the year 1866, duly audited. AU the
society's securities have been valued at the lowest market
prices on the list I secember last. The accounts show that
the profit of 30,033/. 2s. Gd. brought forward from the last
account has been absorbed, and a loss of 23,934/. 2a. 2d.
incurred. which has been written off against the reserve
fund. reducing the amount of that fund to 4,846/. Ils.
The directors regret that, under these circumstances, it is
impossible for them to recommend the payment of any
dividend ; but they believe they will meet with the con-
currence of the shareholders in dealing at once with losses
which have arisen from the events of the peat year. The
directors can point with satisfaction to the fact that dur-
ing a period of such severe financial pressure the company
was enabled to meet and even to anticipate its engage-
ments without difficulty. and withont the necessity of
making any call upon its shareholders. In con!ormity
with clause SO of the articles of association, Messrs.
Junius Spencer Morgan and William Edward Quentell
retire from the direction, but, being eligible, offer them-
selves for re-election. Messrs. Robert Palmer Rartlingand
Edwin 11. Galsworthy, the auditors previously appointed,
stbo offer themselves for re-election.
The company's accounts are annexed. At the
coming meeting the shareholders will probably
ask for fuller information than is afforded in
this report relative to the nature of the " ad-
vances on securities, &c.," and "sundry invest-
ments," in which nearly the whole of the capital
and other resources of the company is embarked.
It seems also desirable that information should bo
given, as is done by the London Financial Associa-
tion, with regard to the extent of the contingent
liabilities on securities held by the company.
The directors of the London Financial Associa-
tion (Limited) have issued the following resort, in
jt•
anticipation iho iteeiing ? the so.`'ea ,
called for the 21st inst. :

The directors beg to submit to the shareholders the an-
nexed statement of accounts for the half ;year ending the
31st December, 11466, and it will be seen that after pay-
ment of current expenses there remains • balance of
13,4381. ls. 101 at the credit of prat and lam. The
board much regret that they are unable to recommend the
payment of a dividend for the pest six months. During

PHOKWATIoN Or CoNVOCATIoN.—(THIS DAY.)—

of Canterbury was formally prorogued this morning by
Dr. Travers TWIA4I, the vicar-general, acting under a com-

meet for the despatch of business, the bishops
in Queen Anne's Bounty-office, and the deans, archdea-
cons, and proctors in the Jerwalein-chamber. There is
no agenda paper in the tipper House, and it is impossible
to predict what subjects may engage their lordship.' atten-
tion, but on the meeting of the Lower House it
will proceed to consider a motion on the P;.,
port of a cami":'e: -A at. :17:7Zt
