This he eannot do, un- lees under grant of an uncondional pardon for his alleged offence aguinst the English sovereignty.

The testimomy for the prosecution, be thought, would go to estabiish a case of manslaughter in the fourth degree. He then read the deposition of the doctor whe attended the post mortem examination, from which it appeared that the death of McGrath resulted from concussion of the bra:n. Bridget Hurley was then called to the stand, and teati- fied that the deceased came into the tenement house where she lived about 2 o’clock on the afteracon of the 1ith o* < 8§ wae of opinion that the testimony haa failed to convict the prisoner ct any offeoce, and #0 in- structed the jury, who immediately rendered a verdict of ‘not guilty. '—RBBOCOVERY OF THE PROPERTY. The ty was alleged to bave bien taken from the Conroy ka Prisoners, who lived in the same tru tenement, is abeence from the hase oa Sunday, Feb. 17, 1866. Recorder deferred the ventence of the women until Saturday next, and told them that if the money was not restored vy thas time he wouid impose the extreme penalty of the law. Meanwhite his Honor devised a plan for the recovery of the property which proved suceessfai. He had a priva‘e interview with one of the prisoners, from whem he obtained information which induced bim to send Officers Walsh, O’Riely. Gaughan, Gray, Fariey and Flanagan in search of the treasure. They, proceeded to the novse o’ Daniel Kelly, a brother. in-law'of one of the prisoners, !tving in fnira avenue, near Twenty-third street, Brooklyn ang arrestec his wite Ellen, whom they brought to New York an3 4 in the Fourteentn ward station house, where she was searched by a female, snd $765 of the money toanc ticd up in a bog end fastened spout her body nnde-neath her clothes. Uaniel Kelly, the husband of Ftiec, anda man named McCullom were also arrested by the officers, after some delay were prevailed upon to restore the enuff-box and braceet. The greater portion of the pro- perty has thus teen restored to the owner, who is a poor man, and had been despoi ed by this rovbery of the hard earnings of a lie time. Great credit is due to the R- eorder who devised, and to ihe officers who executed thir scheme for the detection of the villains wbo held posse:- sion of the property, and who will no doubt be orapelled ‘to suffer the punisnment which they so richly deserve.

Wepxespay, March 19—6 P. M. The stock market is in a very unsettled condition. In some of the most prominent speculative stocks the daily transactions continue large; but prices fluctuate so irregularly that neither buyer nor seller seems to get the advantage. The brokers are com- pelled to confine their operations to each other. Outsiders, asa general thing, have no interest in the market. They are in favor of lower prices, so as to give them a better opportunity to come in At the first board to-day Hlinois Central bonds ad- vanced } per cent; Reading Railroad, 1; Hudson River Railroad, 1; Michigan Central, 3; Panama, 8; New York Central Railroad, }. Nicaragua Transit declined 4 per cent; Erie, j; Cleveland and Pittsburg, 1; Cleveland and Toledo,1. It will be seen by these variations that while some stocks of doubtful value advanced considerably, others of similar character fell off about the same extent. The movements of regular stock speculators, in the absence of any other influence, keep prices run- ning up and down a fraction or so per day, so as to not permit the machinery to stop altogether. The brokers are patiently waiting for something to turn up. They are much in want of something startling and important to relieve the doll monotony of Wall street. The Nicaragua Transit outrage has nearly passed away from the minds of speculators, and something else is now required to get up an excitement. From Europe we cannot look for mucl’. A sudden breaking up of the Peace Conference, and departure of the negotiaters without an amicable conclusion, would certainly be something of an ex- citing character; but we do not look for such an un- fortunate result. From Washington we can look for. nothing of interest. The Central American affairand the Crampton difficulty have become flat gnd stale, and the public mind cannot be again easily agitated by these subjects. The season is even against any favorable influence. With a snow storm that would do credit to January, it is enough to discourage all who look for the effect of mild and pleasant wea- ther upon business operations. Holders of stock must be content to wait the retarn of May. By that time we shall, beyond a doubt, be relieved from all the drawbacks of closed navigation and inter- rupted communication, and every department of business will be, we trust, in full and successf § operation. After the adjournment of the board the following salos of bonds and stocks were made at auction:— £50 shares Market Bank, new stock. 7 sbares United States Trust Co. 12 sharen Howard Fire Insuy ance Co 4.40 sbares Firemen’s Insurance Co.. 60 rhares Second Avenue Railroad Co. 50 thares Long Island Fire Insurance Oo 84 shares East River Fire Insurance Co, At the second board there was a pretty genera improvement in all the leading speculative stocks, Hudson Railroad advanced j per cent; Reading Railroad, 4; Nicaragua Transit, |; New York Cen tral Railroad, #; Erie Railroad, 4; Illinois Centra! Bonds, }. Chicago and Rhode Island Railroad sold at 95 per cent, cash. The usual dividend of this company will, we learn, be made at the usual time It is still doubtful about the dividends of other West ern roads coming due about this time. Panama Railroad fell off this afternoon } per cent, and Michigan Southern 4 per cent. » The warrants entered at the Treasury Department, Washington, on the 17th inst., were as follows :— For the Treasury Department,....

The month opened unfavorably. With limited receipts, the expenses have been unusually large. Very few railroads in the Northern, Eastern and Western States have made more than their operating ex- penses since the Ist of January. The returns of the New Orleans banks for the week ending March 8, show an increase in specie f $534,146, in circulation $195,595, in deposits $318,032. The total amount of loans March 8, 1856, was $22,234,686, against $18,919,918 on the 5th of March, 1865, showing an increase this year of $3,312,786.

It was then £1,470,969, and in the present in- stance it is £1,509,990, "Thus is partly attributabie to the impulse given to operations of all kincs during the last two weess ot the period by the announcement of peace, ectton, linen and woollen yarns having been largely shipped to the continental manutacturers, who then re- gained confidence. Almost all classes of goods, however, have participated in the increased busine-s, with the ex- ception of cotton manufactures, the faliing off in which was to be expecied after the extraordimary increase pre- senied in the previous return. It isto be remarked, however, that this falling off is intrinsically greater than it appears, since allowance must be made for the aivance im the price of the siaple since the Saecte month of last year. A further improvement in the total of ha- berdashery, and @ moderate increase in hardwares, cuy- Jery, ana leather, tend to incicate @ revival m the Aus- trauian trade.
