One of the most dreadf u l and sic ES kening spectacles which has ever been associated with a public exsoutioa was yawned at Chester today, cm the =mien et the execution of Alice Hewitt, for the murder at her meeker. Our readers may remember that Hewitt (her mother bang ill) induced • female acquaintance to poisons= the old woman, and by this means an Mamma, upon her life was effected in the Wesleyan Life Association far 251. Shortly afterwards the mother died, sad the mosey was duly paid to the representatives, nor was it discovered until some time had elapsed that the messy had bees obtained by fraud, and that Alice Hewitt had ado ally pawned her mother by the edaiiitretion et arsenic in very large quantities. After her mmilinenaties the criminal gave birth to an Megan= child. The wisdoer this morning was bitterly cold, with a slight fall of =ow, yet an excited mob of some 3,000 or 4,000 people were gathered in front of the gaol. A so= as the criminal slapped up= the platform a subdued murmur no through the crowd, which was followed by • deathlike stases fora few minutes, brakes rely by the piteous wailing of the anlpitt. The cap and rope having been adjusted, she fell up= her brae= sod prayed that her infant child might be epseed a similar fate, and that her death might be • warning to others. She then rose, and in the most piteous manner begged the execaffiener to make haste with his dreadful work. Calcraft that withdrew on one oar, and pulled the bolt, but the drop would not fall. A mood time the attempt was made, but with the same result. All this time the doomed woman was heard "Make haste !" and each time she heard the bolt withdraws she gave an agonisiog shriek. Calmat weed through his work with the coolness of • prsetial and, lead the third time, with the aid of some of the poi the drop fell with • dull heavy thud. The woman fell with a violent jerk shout three or four feet, and the prayer up= her lips was left untlaidied. She straggled hard, and hat salterinp were aggravated by the incomplete adjustment et the rope, as well as from her being • very light and denier mama. Oalcraft Moat immediately west in heat of the dying woman and strapped her legs more tightly. A law a few mere struggles and al was over. The wow was thinly sad poorly attired. SUPPOSED MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT ST. HELEN'S. Great excitement was canned in St. Helen's, yes- talky morning, by the report that • murder had been cone matted fa a short skeet lead* oat al Dakestreet, in that town. The name of the dimmed is Mary Woods, aged 33, a single women end a cripple, who kept a small sekool at her own home, the scene of the tragedy. The map eeed murderer is James Clith • Pau pallier, aged 35, a married nem, with five who resides near the madmen of the deceased. About ohm o'clock yes terday morning, 'moral of the school children arrived at the decreed's house, and there found that the front door was fast. They knocked, but could not pin admittance.. The children's mei:ions were aroused, and they called the siltation of a man named John Mandell to the fact. He went round to the yard door, which he found fast; bat he got over the yard wall and opened the kitties door, which was unfastened. He went into the kitchen, and at the bottom of the stainers leading op to the bedrooms saw a men's shoes. He proceeded upstairs, and, on opening • small back bedroom door, he new • I hoeribie eight -On the bed. which was saturated with blood, lay the man Callao*, undressed, and bleeding from • gash in his throat. Bowden ran downstairs, and called is polieemeriable Turner, who was peeling. Whim Tarim teetered the room, Chrism., who was almost deed from km of blood, waved his bend in the direction of the ether side of the bed. Turner went round the bed, liftsd up the bedclothes, sad there found the body al the deemed Mary Woods. Her head was almost se vered from her body. Dr. Blundell was immediately meet for, and he sad Dr. Rigg shortly afterwards arrived ; het it was found that the usfortmate woman was quits deed. her windpipe being severed, and several arteries. The mesa Clithwee was found in • fearful date, kis windpipe being also severed, and he was blending a greet deal. The ceiling of the mom mad the walk were riviwith blood, over and on the wall the heed of b W edwere lager marks of blood. Dr. Ring premed the edges d Clitheroe's wound together, when the men mid, " We made it up to eat our throats, and we did it about 3 o'clock this mania,. fibs cat her threat, sad then I out mine." A razor covered with blood was found on the door, wrapped in a night-dress. It is believed that Clitherse fine took the woman's life, and afterwards attempted to take his own. Mere was ao blood on the deceased's heads, as there must have been had she cut her own throat. The bed-clothes were also greatly dis tubed, as if • struggle had take. place; and it would have been almost impossible for her to have coveted herself up in the way in which she was found, after re ceiving the wound which killed her. The facts of the Malt house door being unfastened sod Chtheroe's shoes being found at the foot of the staircase lead to the sappceition that he entered the home without the deoeseed's knowledge, sad it is supposed that, some quarrel having arisen between them, be determined to take her life, and also attempted to take his own. He is attended by two polioe-oftews, bat will not be removed to the lock-ups until he is rift ohm* recovered. At 6 o'clock last evening he was in a eery precarious state, and slight hope were entertained at hie reepeary.—lfenceneer Guardian. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MONEY NARKET.-(71118 DAY.) Two oVroos. The stock markets to-day are dull. The funds exhibit a decline of i per cent. A check is still given to speculation by the un certainties connected with the Schleswig-Hol stein question. The members of the Stock Exchange have been chiefly occupied with prepara tions for to•morrow's settlement in shares and foreign stocks. Home railway stocks present an upward tendency, but the speculative foreign bonds are weaker. At Paris this morning, aeoording to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renton were quoted 66fr. 40c., being bc. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 91} to 4, ex div., for money, and 91} to 4, ex div., for the account (Jan. 7). The official business report is as fol lows :—Three per Ceat. Consols, for money, 91}, 4, ; ditto, for account, 914 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914, ; New Three per Cents., 91}, 4, } ; Bank Stock, 234 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1061, } ; ditto Bonds, par., 6s. dis.; Four per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 95 ; and Exchequer Bills, 95., 4s. die. Foreign stocks are heavy. There is a decline of I f per cent. in Mexican, 1 in Spanish Passive, and in Turkish Consolidifs. Greek Bonds are steady. Some of the present quotations are annexed :- 1 Turkish 1864 Loan, 89} to 90} ; ditto, 1858, 691 70;to ditto, 1862, 701 to 71} ; the Consolidtte, 471 to 481 ; Greek, 26 to 1 ; Spanish Pas sive, 331 to 34 ; and Mexican, 371 to }. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brariliar, 1863, 871. 1, 87 ; Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Ceuta., 641; Egyptian, 1001, f ; Greek, 261 ; ditto for account, 26} ; ditto Coupons, 111 ; Italian, 701 ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 781, 78 ; Mexican, 371, 4, # ; ditto for account, 38, 371, 38, 371 ; Peruvian, 1862, 881 ; Portuguese, 1853, 491 ; ditto, 1856, kc., 49 ; ditto scrip, 11, 1 prem. ; Russian, 1822, 921 ; ditto, 1856,,88 ; ditto, 1862, 891, 1 ; Spanish New Deferred, 47} ; ditto Passive, 341 ; ditto Certificates, 131 ; Turkish, 1858, 70, 691; ditto 1862, 701, 711. International Financial shares are quoted 41 to prem. ; General Credit, 21 to } prem. ; Lon don Financial, 81 to 91 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 21 to f die. ; Egyptian Trading, 11 to prem. ; Merchant Banking, 31 to 41 prem. ; Land Mortgage Bank of India, 21 to 21 prem. ; English and Swedish Bank, 2to prem. ; East London Bank, 2} to 3 prem. ; Discount Cor poration, 31 to 41 prem. ; Floating Dock, }to 1 prem. ; Contract Corporation, 31 to I prem. ; Consolidated Discount Company, 1 to 11 prem. ; and West India and Pacific Steam, 1 to 2 prem. The dealers have been chiefly occupied with the adjustment of their amounts, in preparation for the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, fixed for to-morrow. It would appear that the present, like several recent setttlements, will be facilitated through the supply of money which is poured into the Stock Exchange by the financial and other public companies re cently created. In the present stage of their ope rations these companies are glad of the opportunity of lending their funds in the Stock Exchange, as otherwise they would have considerable balances lying idle. Yesterday, both at the Bank of England and in the general market the demand for money increased, and the probability is that this will go on until Thursday, the 31st, is turned, as in the interval large payments have to be made on revenue and other accounts. Moreover, at the close of the year there is always less disposition to lend, owing to the wish to accumulate large balances. The terms for good bills yesterday were 61 to 7 per cent. An in -1 dication of the course of opinion with regard to the future of the money market is presented, however, in the fact that the rates for choice six months paper are 61 to 7 per ant., being rather under than over the terms for shorter periods. An expectation seems to be entertained that more ease will be experienced before or upon the release of the January dividends. The sum of 46,0031. in bar gold was purchased by the Bank yesterday. There is only a moderate inquiry for the Continent, so that the influx to the Bank is expected to continue, a considerable total having yet to be disposed of, including the 247,0004 (Australian) by the Monarch. - - . . Private telegrams, believed to be accurate, report a fall (i. c, a movement in favour of England) of 4 per cent. in the exchange at Bombay, and a rise of 3 per cent. in that at Calcutta. In the former case the effect will doubtless be to check the expor tation of silver from England, while in the latter there may be some increase in the shipments, but not to any important extent. The bulk of the silver sent from this country to the East for a long period bas gone to Bombay—the great cotton port The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1241. over last year ; and the South Eastern an increase of 1,721 t. Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's Weekly List) of the railway calls falling due in the month of January. The total is rather below the average : Amount per Share. Due Already .

Exchequer Bills remain at 9s. to 4s. du. The foreign stock market was dull in the morning, but au increased demand was experienced in the afternoon for the speculative stocks, which have accordingly advanced. The market for bank shares, though rather quiet, was decidedly firm. An improvement has taken place iu .Agra Bank, London and South African, National Bank of Liverpool, Standard Bank of Africa, and Union Bank of Australia. Discount Corporation shares were firm, and there were inquiries for Joint Stock I iisoount new. Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares, both old and new, have fallen 21., owing to the disasters to two of this company's ships.
