To-day at noon Thomas Edwartla, who waa sen tenced to death at the recent Liverpool swim for the murder of his paramour, Labelle Tongs, wan executed at . . Kirk&le GtoL The connected with the care are simply thee. :—Edwards cohabited with Tonga for several years previously to the murder, and seemed to cherish an affection—brute though it was—for his partner. Tong., however, did not care much for Ed wards, and on the return of a ticket•of-leave man named Sullivan she neglected Edwards and transferred her atten tions to him. This exasperated Edwards, and on the 27th of November he made very bitter complaint' to some women who were in his house of the conduct of Tonga, and ultimately intoxicated himself with drink. On the morning of the' Bth November, Tong. and Sullivan came home toge ther, and Edwards engaged in an altercation with his rival. They went to bed together, however, apparently on friendly terms, and nothing more war said until Edward scams down stairs and reproached Tonga with treachery. Tonga then renewed the altercation with Edwards and told him that she "would no longer prostitute herself for him." Edina* to close the argument, said, " I will be hung for you !" and rushing upon Tongs with a knife he stabbed her several times in the neck and other parts of the body, and she died. Upon being taken into custody, and when a police-officer told Edwards that Tongs was killed, he said "It served her right, that is what I intended to do. I have kept her like a lady for six months; she has been untrue to me, and I was resolved to take her life. I warned her of this the day before." Edwards re peatedly said he hoped the deceased would die, for if she and Sullivan were dead he himself could die contentedly. Edwards vent an uneasy night, and was occupied often in prayer. He received the sacrament this morning, and was more composed. He struggled very much after the bolt was withdrawn. The crowd of spectators is estimated at 8,000 or 10,000, all of the lowest clam. The prisoner joined in prayer before the bolt was withdrawn, but made no other riga. MURDER OP AN INMATE OP THE GREEN- WICH UNION. Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, held st a protracted incjuiry at the Greenwich union-house, last CO night, into the mrciumitances attending the death of Samuel Barber, an inmate, aged 71.

On the following Friday fa afternoon, at four o'clock, he left his son's hove for the at .

The deoesaed, at at this tune, declined to have any medical attend- as. ante, saying he should be better in the morning ; but at• on Monday, being exceedingly ill, Mr. Kilby , the master Ea of the house, was sent for. In answer to quo 8t time put to him by the master, as to how the injury to his 84 Las was occasioned , the deceased replied that he and as. another man were walking together on the afternoon of his BR returning to the borne, and that when within a few yards of 20 the union two or three drunken navvies knocked him into 2 2 : the read from a the footpath and ill-used him, as also the 88 man who was with him, and who then went on to Wool- so wioh. Medical aid was then rendered, but the old men as became wens, and died on Wednesday afternoon. The re- ili salt of a post "writes examinatiou showed that deceased had sustained injury from blows to both eyes, an ; 0 `• Arneson of the skin on the lower jaw and also on the as. posterior parts, and that the spleen was ruptured. The as. cause of death resulted from this latter injury, which, at aoeording to the medical evidence, could not have been o ica- at aimed by deceased falling, but arose from a kick or blow in the abdomen or on the spine. The Coroner went very carefully through the evidence, alt lI and remarked that it was decay clear, from the state- Sl meat made by the deceased to the witnesses who bad been et examined, that the deceased had been grossly ill-used out side the union-house on his returning to the union .

In the mining market to-day East Caradon shares are steady, at 44 to I, with only a limited amount of business doing in them. Wheal Seton continue in demand, and have advanced to 230 " buyers." North Downs are firmer, at ' 21 to f. Great Fortune are quoted 30 to 31 • Stray : Park, 39i to ; and North Crafty , 5 to t. In the Stock Exchange Wheal Ludcott have been dealt in at 91, and Wheal Seton at 2271 and 225. Port Phillip, Santa Barbara, and United Mexican Mining shares are firm, other foreign and colonial descriptions being quiet. We are requested to state that the share list of the Cape of Good Hope Copper Mining Company will be closed on Saturday the 10th instant. The circular issued by Mr. Peter Watson con tains an annual mining review, from which we extract as follows : We stetted in our first number for the year 1862 that 1861 would be long remembered as one of dire misfortune in almost every branch of industry, opening gloomily, so con tinuing, and closing as it did with a nation's agonizing sor row. American affairs have been financially and commer cially as unsatisfactory during the past year so in the pre view one, and have unfortunately brought on a great deal of misery. Notwithstanding, however, the dreadful straggle still pending between the Northern and Southern Stated, and in consequence the small exports free this country to the United States, the exports of tin, copper, and lead to that and other countries have been on the whole satisfactory for the past twelve months, and prices of these metals may be considered at fair remunerative rates to the miner. Is the event, however, of a peaceful solution of the present difficulties between the Federal. and Confederate., a great advance in the price of metals, tin and copper especially, will take place. W. called attention twelve mouths ago to the sad levee sod depreciation in prices of mine shares generally for the year 1861, that there had been • greater degree of dimp pointment regarding points of operation which had induced the anticipation of important discoveries, while calls hod increased and dividends decreased. At the same time we stated that with abundance of money, public confidence, better prices of metals, and a legi timate vigorous working of such mines as pre sented features favourable to success, we might fairly predict for mining, and those who invested in it, such results in the present year (i.e. 1862) as would more than oompensate for the reverses in the past year (1861.) We are pleased to find, as well as to congratulate our clients, that the year 1862 has been so successful, and sincerely do we wish " cos and all " (the Cornish motto) still greater success in the next twelve months. The year 1863 is likely to be a still more successful one. From West Devon Consolidated Copper Mine the agent writes (Jan. 1) :—" There is no material alteration in our underground department since last report. We are getting on as fast as possible with oar dreaming, and the ore stuff is turning out very satidactory." COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (THIS DAY.)
