Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Neuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were

Business in the English Stock Market exhibits
very little animation ; in fact, the attendance, as
usual on Saturdays, has been extremely limited.
Consols remain without change of importance, viz.,
at 92} 1 for money, and 924 for the account.
The New Threes were 921 4 ; Reduced Annui-
ties, 924 1; Bank Stock, 2414 2 ; and India 5 per
Cents., 111/ 4.

A limited amount of business has been done in
Foreign Stocks, and there is no material alteration.
Italian have advanced fto 451 ; and Mexican
to 151 16 ; while Greek remain firm at 121 ;
Spanish Passive at 251 26 ; New 3 per Cents. at
35i 36 ; and Turkish 5 per Cents. at 331
There has been very little business transacted in
the market for American Securities, but prices are
a shade firmer. United States 5-20 Bonds have
advanced I, to 72k I ; and Erie shares /, 48/ 49f ;
but Illinois have declined to 881 89f.
Only a moderate amount of business has been
'transacted in the Railway Share Market, but, in
several instances, prices show more firmness. Great
Ea-tern, Great Northern A Stock, and Lancashire
and Yorkshire have each improved I, South Wes-
tern 4, North-Eastern (Berwick), and Metro-
politan 14, while Midland and North-Western
have each declined

Bank shares remain very inactive, but in most
instances support previous quotations. Union of
London have unproved to 36i ; London and West-
minster are dealt in at 67i ; and Oriental Bank
Corporation at 42i.

The Foreign and Colonial lines continue in
limited request but at steady rates. San Paulo are
marked 17k Dutch Rhenish 24k, Bahia and San
Franciso 14, East Indian 1111 , and Great Indian
Peninsula are flat at 109, it being stated that the
next dividend will only be at the rate of 5 per cent.
instead of 5i per cent., as generally anticipated.

Miscellaneous and Finance Shares in one or two
instances show a slight improvement. Anglo-
American Telegraph have improved to 19i ; Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam to 56 57 ; and Royal
Mail Steam to 62f.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKEI-71iis Day.

Market opens quiet. Prices weak, but not quot-
ably lower. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000
bales.

CRYSTAL PALACE.

Extraordinary efforts have been made to cele-
brate Christmas at the Crystal Palace. Although in
former years the building has been decorated in an
extremely gay manner, the decorations of the pre-
sent Christmas may safely be said never to have been
surpassed ; flags, streamers, banners, garlands, holly,
laurel, shields, and baskets of flowers hung from
every girder and rib, and artistically arranged amid
groups of statuary, &c. The centre transept has
been converted, by judicious decorations, into a
room—a large one truly—but the vastness of the
locale is forgotten in the warmth of the decora-
tions, and in the air of comfort which pervades
the building.

The great stage is now complete in every respect ;
and in the present pantomime, " Little Red Riding
Hood," which has been written and produced under
the superintendence of Mr. Nelson Lee, every ad-
vastage has been taken of the scope thus afforded
for the most brilliant effects. The Great Handel
Orchestra, immediately facing the stage, offers
capabilities for seating large numbers of visitors,
who can thence witness these effects in ease and
comfort.

The Great Christmas Tree—nearly 100 feet high
—has been erected in the north nave, and is decked
gaily with every imaginable ornament. The Fancy
Fair and Bazaar—replete with Christmas presents
suitable to all—is in full vigour, the entire Palace
exhibiting an activity and brilliance unusual at this
season.

Besides the pantomime the troupe of Beni-ZJug-
Zoug Arabs, who performed at the Palace in October,
have been re-engaged, and will appear twice daily
in their marvellous feats of strength, activity, and
daring. In order to give increased effect to this per-
formance, a Desert Scene has been specially painted
by Messrs. Danson and Sons. Some clever clowns
and the champion skaters complete the list of mis-
cellaneous entertainers. However, in addition,
there is an endless variety of games and sports, both
in the Palace and outside.

According to custom at the Palace, the amuse-
ments, in their entirety, will be commenced on
Monday and continued daily (of course excepting
Christmas Day), this arrangement being always
found acceptable to visitors bringing parties of chil-
dren, who otherwise would defer their visits until
the great days have passed over.
The Palace will also be open on Christmas Day,
as it is with many a favourite stroll before dinner,
and in its present highly decorated form the build-
ing looks more brilliant than ever.
On Boxing Day extra trains will run from all
stations ; besides which, some of the principal lines
have announced excursions.

TIIE HUNTING FIELD DURING THE LAST
MONTH.—Ever since the Ist of this mouth (De-
cember) sharp frosts have sadly interfered with scent and
" good riding." From Leicestershire we hear that about
the 12th the frost broke, and disappeared to a great
ex 'kilt, and the ground was in tolerably good condition
every where for good riding, but up to the date
it was rather hard in places, but on the whole there was
not much very bad going. Prom South Berks we bear
groat complaints as to the badness of scent, which
seems to have been the great cause of trouble, now that
the frost has become less severe. In North Staffordshire
Jack Frost fixed his icy fetters upon everything for nine or
ten days, and thus completely stopped all chances of sport ;
milder weather having opportunely come in his stead, very
capital runs have been enjoyed. It would be of very little
interest to further specify each district from which we have
received from our correspondents accounts similar to the
above. But we are rejoiced to find that a "southerly wind
and a cloudy sky" have for the past week proclaimed Lunt-
ing mornings. We do not assume to foretell what the sky
1 is going to do, or prophesy as to weather forecasts, but, if
we may hazard a guess, there is not, so far as we can
judge, any sign of a severe or lengthened frost.—Land and
TVater.

THE EXA-111INATION OF COL. BURKE
AND CASEY.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.

The further examination of Burke and Casey
was resumed this morning before Sir T. Henry.
The greatest precaution was taken by the police
to guard against any disturbance in or about the
court, between 50 and GO constables being placed
iu.the avenues leading to the court, and on the
tops of the houses overlooking it.
Mr. Giffard and Mr. Poland appeared on the
part of the Cruwn to conduct the prosecution, and
Mr. Merriman attended for the prisoners.

Mr. Merriman said he had on that occasion to
apply for a p )stponement of the examination until
ho could instruct counsel. He had but very re-
cently had the case of the prisoners confided to

Sir homas Henry said he could not delay the
case, and therefore it must proceed. The cross-
examination of the witnesses could be reserved.

Mr. Giffard said it would be a great convenience
if it was arranged that, on the next examination,
the cross-examination of the witnesses should take

place.

Sir Thomas Henry said that must be done on the
next examination.

The first witness called to-day was
William Greening, who said—l reside in Steel-
house-lane, Borough. In the month of December
I was in the employ of Crooley and Co., carriers.
I have with me a delivery-sheet, and. I find in
December, 1865, I delivered the goods mentioned,
and it is usual for the person receiving the goods to
sign that document. I find 3 signature of a receiver
of some goods, sent from St. George-street, Parade.
The 25 cases were marked E in a diamond.
Thomas Wakeman--I am foreman of the order
shed in Curzou-street, Birmingham. The order-
shed is a place where goods are received from the
town awaiting orders. I remember the day after
Christmas, 1865, a person came from Mr. Kylock
about some goods. I recollect the fact, from the
circumstance that the gentleman had to wait for
me a long time, instead of 'going to the ledger
clerk. I produce a transfer order. It relates to
goods deposited at the station. I received 10 cases
onl3 th audlo on 18th December. Those 20 cases were
lying at the station awaiting the orders of Kylock
and Co. The transfer order was afterwards made
out in favour of "Mr. Winslow." A gentleman
came down and ordered the goods to be sent away,
and they were despatched on the 27th of December
to Park-lane Station, Liverpool. I produce the
carriage note. It was in the name of E. C. Wins-
low. I could recognise the person who gave direc-
tions about the removal of the 20 cases.

William Amony—l am a chequer at the goods
department of the Western Railway, Birmingham.
I produce a consignment order of the 28th and 29th
of Dec., 1865: I received the' goods mentionQd on
the note. I received eight cases on the 29th marked
as stated on the note. They were sent by "E. C.
Winslow" to await the orders of "E. C. Winslow"
at Park-street Station, Liverpool. I observed there
was no address of the sender, and asking the person
who came about it to supply that, he gave me at
George-street, Parade.

George Phillips Spreekley-- I am an indoor clerk
at the Railway Station, Birmingham. In 1866 I
was one of the checkers. I produce a consignment
order signed E. C. Winslow. It is for 12 cases
marked "P. W. D." Ito 12. It was dated Jan.
3, 1866, and the goods were to be sent to the
Waterloo Station, Liverpool, to the order of E. C.
Winslow, of Birmingham. The goods were for-
warded accordingly.

William Amony recalled—l identify Casey as one
of the persons I saw at the station respecting the
goods I have been speaking of. I had a good op-
portunity of seeing him, and have no doubt about
his being the same person.

Cross-examined by Mr. Merriman—l am quite
sure of the identity of Casey. I had a con-
versation with him about the goods. He was ou
the ground about half an hour, go I had an oppor-
tunity of seeing him frequently. I know nothing
of him beyond seeing him under the circumstances
1. have tnentioned.

Re-examined by Mr. Giffard—l have no doubt
about Casey being the person I was in communica-
tion with at Birmingham. -

James Norcott—l am a checker in the employ of
the North-Western Railway, Curzon-street, Bir-
mingham. On the sth of Jan., 1866, I received 12
cases marked " S.K." in a diamond, and " W." in
the corner. They were despatched to Liverpool to
await the orders of Winslow.

Thomas Barker, another servant of the company,
spoke to the reception ou the Bth of January, 1866,
of 12 cases, marked in a triangle " W.R" and
Blinder. They were numbered 1 to 12 consecu-
tively, and were to be forwarded to Liverpool, to
the Waterloo station, Liverpool. On the 11th of
January he received 12 more, marked " O. S. G.,"
with " W." under. They also were to to be for-
warded to Liverpool, to the order of Winslow.
Joseph Buirowes, clerk at the Waterloo Station,
Birmingham, proved the delivery of the eases men-
tioned by the preceding witnesses. The goods were
delivered to the order of Winslow, and the prisoner,
who received them at Park-street, signed the book
" R. Lawrence."

Matthew Cagan, another servant of the railway
company. saw the person calling himself Lawrence
sign the book, and removed the cases from the sta-
tion in a private cart.

Mr. Merriman—Do you see " Mr. Lawrence" in
court ?

Witness—No, sir.

Mr. Morrinian—Neither of the prisoners is the
person who signed the book " Lawrence?"

Witness—go. I don't think I could recognise
him if he were produced. There was nothing out
of the ordinary course in the marks on the goods.
They were all delivered in the usual way that all
the principal firms receive their property from the
railway.

Henry Leather, another of the railway company's
servants, spoke to the persons receiving the cases,
but he could not identify either as the persons who
took them away.
Samuel Marriott, a booker at the Park-lane sta-
tion, Liverpool, said he was present when the crane
book was signed by " Lawrence" for the delivery of
the goods, and to the best of his belief he thought
the prisoner Burke was that person. He, however,
was not positive about that matter, but to the best
of his recollection he should say he was.
Francis Sheridan—lu March last I was acting
sergeant in the Dublin Metropolitan Police Force.
I was on duty on the night of the sth of August, at
Milltown, in the suburbs of Dublin. I had charge
of three constables. About 12 o'clock I observed a
number of persons coming along the road.
At 12 on that night we met a body of armed
men, about 700 or 800 armed with pikes and
Enfield rifles with fixed bayonets. The pikemen
who numbered about 500, had each a revolver.
They surrounded myself and the constables, dis-
armed us, and marched us off at the point of the
bayonet. They were then marching four deep in
military array. They were commanded by a man
named Lennon. They proceeded to a place called
Stepaside, four or five miles from Dublin, where
there was a constabulary barracks. Lennon, the man
in command, brought his man to the front of the
barracks, and then he went to the door of the station,
rapped loudly at it, and demanded that it be in-
stantly opened and surrendered in the name of the
Irish Republic. They Ulm fired a volley into the
house.

Sir T. Henry—Through the windows ?
Witness—Through the windows and doors, and
everyplace from which they could fire a shot. They
then set the place on fire. They broke open the door
first and took the men prisoners.

Sir T. Henry-110w many constable?
Witness—Four men and a sergeant. The crowd
took away all the military accoutrements, ainmui-
tion, &c., from the barracks. We were the❑
marched to Gleucullen, where there was another
constabulary barracks, which is about three miles
from Kingstown. The insurgents got in front
of the barracks and called upon the inmates to
surrender in the name of the Irish Republic. The
insurgents then commenced firing, and continued
doing so for about au hour and a half. The fire

was returned from the barracks. The insurgents
obtained possession of the barracks. ,One of
.the constables was shot close by my side.
The insurgents then took the arms away
from the barracks, and on a parley it was arranged
that if the ammunition was given up to the insur-
gents the constables that were the prisoners to the
insurgents would be given up. This was done, and
myself and others then allowed to enter the barracks
at Glencullen. The insurgents then marched away.
Mr. Merriman declined to cross-examine this wit-
ness.

John Morrissey—l am one of the Irish consta-
bulary, statinned at Cork. On the morning of the
22d of November, 186 G, I was on duty whilst the
Halcyon was lying off. She had arrived from Liver-
pool the night before. I saw a case brought from
the hold of the vessel. It was addressed " John
Daley and Co., 85, Grand-parade, Cork." I bad
the case placed on one side, and I then fetched
Courtney, my brother constable, and then went to
the store. Thu case was opened in my presence,
and it was found to contain rifles which were well
packed, the stocks at each end of the case, the
barrels in the centre. Constable Courtney
then went for Mr. Hamilton, who, on his arrival,
examined the case. I took one of the rifles out
and handed it to Mr. Hamilton, who examined it,
and then it was replaced, and the case fastened up.
A second case was afterwards lauded from the
Halcyon, but that was not opened in my presence.
I afterwards saw that case, and the one that had
been opened to him in custody of Mr. Hamilton.
Courtney—l am in the Irish constabulary. On
the 22d of November, 180, the last witness
called my attention to certain cases which had
arrived on board the Halcyon from Liverpool. I
went to Mr. Hamilton, afterwards to the Mayor
of Cork, and when I returned I returned I saw
Mr. Hamilton take one of the rifles out of the case
and mark it. Bath cases were then sent to Haul-
bowline.

Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I intend to
call to-day.

Mr Merriman said—As I do not wish to em-
barrass the prosecution, I will furnish the solicitor
of the Treasury with a list of all the witnesses it
was intended to cross-examine. I wish at this point
of the case to make one or two observations with
respect to the position I am now placed in.
Sir T. Henry--That is perfectly well understood.
Counsel had retired, and of course bis place had to
be filled, and you now stand in that place. I think
you had better refrain from any remarks at the
present stage of the case.
Mr. Merriman--It is bat one remark.

Sir T. Henry--I must stop you ; there will be
every facility given to the counsel to say anything
iu your behalf, as well as your client's.
Mr. Merriman—At all events allow me to •say
that I appear solely for the two prisoners now in
court, and not in anywise for other persons whose
acts the prisoners now again most soletnnV
disclaim.

Mr. Merriman asked that he might ba furnished
with a copy of the depositions.

Sir Thos. Henry sail he had no power to grant
copies of depositions until the case was closed, but
he (Mr. Merriman) would find all his purposes
served by referring to the newspaper reports, which
were perfectly accurate.
The prisoners were then remanded.

POLICE INTELLIGiNCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET'.

WILFUL DAMAGE, ASSAULT, AND DAMAGING THE
POLICE CELL.—TWO young men, both well known
to the police, named Philip Murray and Thomas
Kelly, were charged before Mr. Benson as fol-
lows :

Mary Ann Horine, servant to4Mr. Win. Brown,
of High-street, St. Giles's, said that on the previous
night she saw the prisoner Murray break a pane of
glass i❑ her employer's window, and then one in the
window of another person.

Wm. Peel, 161 E, said that on the way to tha
station Murray behaved in a very violent manner,
and kicked him several times.

George Haley, 164 E, said that while assisting
the last witness Kelly came up and said that he
should not take Murray till he knew what he had
done, and tried to pull Murray away from him.
John Thompson, 52 F, said that on locking Kelly
up in the cell he behaved in a very violent manner,
and kicked out a ventilating plate of the value
of 30s.

Mr. Benson committed Murray for two months
with hard labour, and ordered Kelly to pay 305.,
the amount of damage, and a fine of 2s. 6d., or to
be committed for three weeks.
