Richard Coe, an engineer and fellowwman of the

garbed in his mind. He made an attempt to convince

Other men laughed at !him, and he said to them " Pont

THE IMPORTANT FENIAN ITAPTUIUCAT

CURE.

(BY ruzalAra.)
(nom Buz owl, COIWPO

CORK., SATUIDLT.
This morning Captain Mackay and the three
men arrested with him, together with three,
anbeinnently taken, who were armed with re-
volvers, were examined before the magistrates on a
charge of high treason.
Mackay has been identified as the leader in the
attack on the Martell,' Tower. The capture is
the most important one yet made. Mackay is
stated to be the chief leader here.
All the prisoners were remanded.

A respectable-1;0g young man, named Janata Edward
GaltiC7l, who was described as a saddler, was pawed in the
dock charged with being in the house of Mr. William
Pearce, • sculptor, of Paxton-terrace, Nine Elms, supposed
for an unlawful purpose.
Mr. F. R. Haynes appeared for the prosecutor ; and
Mr. Mayo for the prisoner.
Mr. Pearce said—l had been absent all day at Bristol,
and did not return home until past 11 o'clock at
night. I knocked at the door, but it was not
answered readily, and I heard more than one
person inside. I took some sausages home, and had
them 000ked, and after I had my supper, and at I o'clock
in the morning, I went to the cellar to see if there were
any coals, as I was going to Scotland the neat dal. I
looked under the staircase and saw a coat and • pear of
boots. I then saw that there was • man concealed
under the staircaas. I spoke to him, but he made no
answer. I locked the coal seller door and sent foe the
police, when I give him in charge. My wife was present,
but my four children were in bed at the top of the house.
I employed the prisoner last Saturday for three hours to
remove some furniture from my hones—that is all. I
had seen him once before.
By Mr. Mayo—My wife did not tell me she put him
there. I cannot say whether she said " He is not there for
an unlawful purpose." I don't think she did. I was sure
he was there for some unlawful purpose. Yea, to steal.
When I knocked at the door I heard more than one person
inside. I hsd some suspicion on hearing two persons and
only seeing my wife. I beard the ands rattle, but my wife
was not in the cellar. I bad my suspicdon after that, but I
said nothing. (Laughter.)
Mr. Dayman—Before I can convict you Inuit prove that
he is there not merely for an unlawful purpose but for
such a purpose as I can take cognisance of. If he was
there for an immoral ipurpose I cannot take cognisance of
it. No one can shut his eye to the conviction that he was
there with the consent of your wife.

Prosecutor—She denies
Mr. Dayman—lt is not whether ske denies it. I take
your own evidence.
Prosecutor.—l should like to know bow he came there.
Mr. Daman—l can't go into that. He was there, no
doubt, without your knowledge, but he was there with the
consent of some one who had control of the place, end so
far he was there lawfully. Let him be discharged.
Mr. Mayo rem to make an application on behalf of the
wife, who was in danger, but Mr. Dayman refused to
listen to it at present.

CREF—NIVICH.
sisc I APPLICATION BY SPECIAL CONMTABLVL

Several persons employed at Deptford Dockyard at-
tended the court, and asked the magistrate's advice under
the following circumstances. The spokesman said that in
December last, they, in company with others employed in
Deptford Dockyard, were sworn in as special constables,
and Captain-Superintendent A. P. Eardley Willmot had
assumed the odic* of superintendent over all those who
had been so sworn in, and bad required them to parade
through the town of Deptford, headed by a bread. When
they (the applicants) consented to be sworn in to act
as special constables they bad no idea that they
would be required to enter into any such display as
parading. and un expressing their disinclination to do so,
Captain Willmot had dismissed them from being special
constables, and bad taken from them their badges and
truncheons. Their object was to ascertain whether Cap-
tain Willmot had the power to dismiss them in this
manner.
Mr. Maude said that with respect to any arrangement
which might have been made by Captain Willmott for
dockyard purposes he bad no authority to interfere ; but
as the applicants had been sworn in to act ss special con-
stables for the whole district they still remained as such,
and on production of their warrants to the inspector of
police truncheons would be supplied to them.
The applicants thanked lila worship and retired.

Mr. Goschen, M.P., was present, yesterday, at
the annual meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Com-
merce, and delivered en address on commercial topics.
He spoke strongly in favour of a reform of the bankruptcy

SEILIOVS STREET ACCIDEBT.—A Max BREAKING
BOTH LEGS AND AMPUTATIoN.-ITIIIB Dar.)—This morn-
ing an accident of a serious character occurred at Guild-
ford-street, Brunswickequare, to Michael Careen, aged 60,
a skin dryer, residing at 4, Trump-court, Bealembrstreet,
Clerkenwell, whereby he broke both his legs, and re-
ceived other severe injuries. It appeared that
the unfortunate man was in • cart along
with another man who was driving a spirited pony,
and when in Guildford-street the pony would not
answer the call of the rein. The consequence was that
the cart came in contact with a waggon drawn by three
horses and heavily laden with brewers' grains, and the men
were thrown out, Curran falling under the wheels of the
waggon. Before the waggon could be stopped
.the wheels
pawed over both his legs. He was picked up in an insen-
sible state and conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital,
Gray's.inn-road, where on examination it was found that
his right leg was completely smashed, and that there was
• compound fracture of the left. Mr. Gaol, one
of tho staff-surgeons, assisted by Mr. Hopkins and Mr.
Owen, the house-sargeons, amputated the right leg, and,
notwithstanding the loss of blood the unfortunate man
unstained previous to reaching the hospital, and his
advanced age, he is progreming favourably.
EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD AT KESWICK.—ThiII
neighbourhood was visited with very heavy storms of wind
and rain on the evenings of Friday and Saturday morning
last, so that the riven overflowed their banks, and the two
lakes of Dement and Baseenthweite were joined together,
and appeared one vast sheet of water, something similar
to that of February 5, DWI. When the water; went
down, it was found that very little damage had been doss
with the exception of a few trees having been blown down
on the Derwentwater Bay estate, belonging to Sir John
Woodford, and a portion of the new fence leading down to
the church having been also swept sway. The salmon
which were literally swanning in Km river Greta and Der-
went, have, since the flood, almost entirely disappeared.—

EPIDEMIC AT WOOLWICH.—Woolwich,
PlnDi-
stead, sad Charlton, which suffered so severely from
typhus fever three years ago, and also in the resent
eholera visitation, are spin the scans of another severe
epidemic, viz., small-pox. The unusual ;renditions which
have given rise to the extensive and sudden outbreak are
unknown and likely to be investigated by the Privy Coun-
cil. No class of persons seem exempt from attack. The
rich and well fed are seized in common with the poor and
destitute. The district between the Royal Arsenal and
Dockyard is almost penis-stricken. The citrate of Holy
Trinity, in whose district it lies, has himself caught the
Infection in his ministrations to the sick. The Sanitary
Committee of the Local Board of Health are actively
engaged in combating with the epidemic, and have applied
to the Metropolitan Asylum Board for a hospital to he
erected for the reception of the patients.

CPWI o+CI
The English funds continue tlst, and have ex-
periroced a fresh decline of * per cent., chiefly in
consequence of the heavy withdrawals of gold from
the Bank for the Continent. The amount on

the way from Australia is moderate, but

the next telegrams are expected to announce
increased shipments since the duty wu to be'
taken off gold on the let of January. Most of
the railway stocks have given way, the moat
important movement being in Great Eastern and
Caledonian. The reaction in the latter security
has been caused by a renewal of some large
speculative operations for a fall. Foreign
bonds are still inquired for, and better
in several cases. A large amount of business
has been transacted in the Viceroy of Egypt's
loan, at improved quotations.
The discount market is very inactive, and the,
quotation for choice bills shows no alteration. In
the Stock Exchange there is little or no demand
for short loans, at 1 per cent.

ruary 7 :
We have to report an extremely quiet market in silk;
hopes have been entertained from time to time that a re-
vival was at head, but thus far all have ended in dis-
appointment. We hose occasional forced sales at con-
tinually easier prices, but all has hitherto failed to draw
out buyers. In the meantime stocks have rather increased.
This, however, is seariely likely to continue ; we may have
another month of ‘oniloratively hogs arrivals, but after
that we may reasonably expect to see a more or leas gra-
dual diminution in the stocks. During the last two or
three days we have had more frequent inquiries, leading
to the belief that buyers are anxiously watching the mar-
ket with a view to purchase as soon as they feel the
moment for action has enived, but thus far we have a
very small busine,s. The deliveries are upon the limited
scale of the las: six months, in some measure to be
accounted for by the diroc: importations to the continent.
Japan silk shares the general quiet, although the stock has
been gradually- shrink.ng and is sow really small. Ie
Bengal silk we have nothing of moment ; the deliveries are
comparatively favour:Ode. The next periodical public
sales are fixed to co4..oeticte ou the 19th instant.
Messrs. Sillar and Datentan's monthly tea cir-
cular remarks as under.:
The tea market has remained very firm throughout the
past month. The pullie sales on the 4th and Mb passed
with fair spirit, and tL,, advsnce in common black and red-
' leaf teas noticed in our hi-monthly report has been fully
maintained. The deliveries for London in January amount
to 11,754,6431b5. The bonded stock in the United King-
dom we estimate on the slot ult., including all arrivals, at
Kl,ooo,ooolbs. against 144,000,0001 b.. had year. The gum-
thy afloat, due by the 7th March, is '2'2,000 ,000 lbe.avitist
estimated deliveries of 11,000,0001ka. The stock will then
reach its maximum, and from that date it will decrease
month by month until August and September, when it
will probably touch a lower figure than we have witnessed
since the year 14.12, when the minimum stock wee
Zr 0,400,0001115., the tool deliveries at that time being only
61.800,000165. for the twelvemonths, with a duty of 24.2.01.
per lb. In 0,:t0..er, IKag, the stock was mimed to
54,000,0006 e., the deliveries for tho year king
10,500,0001b5., and the dut la sd. per lb. Advieee from
China still maintain that the total shipments will fall fam-
@adorably tsbort of thoseof last season. Should this prove
correct, our stock will be reduced to little more than
equal to four month's deliveries before the new teal
arrive. Official accounts show the house consumption and
export from this country last year to have been
14.1,000,0001ba- or within one million pounds of our
estimate.
