SEE SINGULAR DEATHS OF TWO IVOMIIIi AT LILY-SliD. Some fresh light has been thrown on the above ercerrenes. It seems that John Beckenham, the husband of one of these poor lemma, was a letter stamper for some jean in the Poet-office, but had become paralysed epee the right aide, it is alleged by some, from his sesstruit ecoupation of stamping letters, bat more likely as it appears tow from a stroke of apoplexy. However that may be, seem years ago, it does not appear bow many, be left the Post-offioe service, and haring always been a sober and bedmtrious mac, of quiet and inoffensive habits, he was awarded a pension of 14e. a week. Unfortunately the wife wee • drunkard, and for a long time past every farthing of poor John Beckenham's money seems to have been spent in gin and beer as soon as it was obtained. Becken ham himself was utterly incapable of exercising any con. trod in the maaagement of his affairs, and it will be seen from his endows below that he was perfectly helpless, ease to the extent of being unable to get his food without the aseistasee of his wife. He seems, however, to have bees capable of tottering about upon little errands for his wife, and it appears that they chiefly consisted of visits to the adjacent public-house for gin or beer, The other woman whom death is recorded is the widow of a man named Gribbin, formerly the leader of the bead at Astley's amphitheatre, and a little over 40 peen of age. Mrs. Gribbin did not ordinarily live with Beckenham and his wife, but seems to have bees cm a visit of some days, and according to the &c -omet of the neighbours the whole time of that ill-starred visit was spent by these unfortunate woolen in drinking with their cronies. According to the statement of one of these eompaniooa, in the menthe they were not exactly sober and at night they were always at the corners of public houses or in front of the bar. Thai( habits had indeed be gone no notorious, and their lives such • scandal to the model lodging house in which they lived, that poor John Beckenham had received notice to quit Albert-terrace, sad it was the circumstance of Mr. Ware, the manager of the Metropolitan Buildings, being amble, when he went to enforce the notice, to obtain ad• mission that led to the discovery of the bodies, and probably also to the saving of the life of John Beckenham himself. On Tuesday morning the poor old paralytic tottered down to a boon companion of his wife's, one Lydia Goozey, whale puffy white cheeks, glazed eyes, and full habit of body, gave fearful evidence of her participation in the revels of lin. Beckenham and Mrs. Gribbin, and asked her to ge and sit with his wife. According to her account she found Mrs. Beckenham in a semi &stakes state, crooning over the fire, with nothing bat a gown cc, not a vestige of under-clothing, while Mn, Oribbin rose from the bed on which she lay and tottered to a coach, on which, with a blanket over her shoulders. she sat moaning and groaning all the day. She also was only " middling sober," not having quite recovered from the previous eight's debauch. There was not a particle of food in the house, nor did it occur to either of the three women to get any. Mrs. Gribbiu was violently vomiting every now and then and drinking water. About midday more gin and beer was fetched, end Mrs. Gnbbin, after partaking of one-third of a quartern of gin, wanted more, because, she said, it did her good ; bet a search in her pockets and those of Mrs. Beckenham for money seemed to have been ineffectual; sad in the evening Mrs. Lydia Gooz y left the house with as injunction on Mrs. Beckenham's part to return early next morn*. That was the lam time, however, that she sew either of the sisters alive ; but more beer seems to have bees fetched after she left, because John Beckenham him self tuns up at the adjoining Prince of Wales, and after being refused halt a gallon of beer ma trust, managed to procure a shilling to pay for it. Next morning Mrs. Lydia (Mosey, according to promise, makes her appearance at 21, Albert-tensee, and knocks, but cannot get in. She returned again and again at differeot times, but always with the same result. It dose not seem to have °marred to her, however, to have alarmed the neighbours, notwithstanding the condition in which she bad left these poor wretched women the evening before. Probably it was not the first , time that she had seen them in such • state. Whether the women died that day or the next, or both on one day or not, will sow never be known. The poor old man was so imbecile, that although he knows he had nothing to eat on the Friday or Thursday, and thinks he had " some thing small ^ on Wednesday, was too far gone in his mind men to know that hefted. was ill, and on the Friday when the was lying dead in the same room with her sister, be thought she was out, and expected her to bring food to him. The next person who calls at the house is Mr. Ware, the manager of the Metropolitan-buildings, who goes to intimate that the tenants cannot be permitted to' remain any longer. Mr. Ware calla on Thum day, but is unable to obtain admission. Oa the Friday night he returns, but the door is still closed i spinet him. By this time the attention of the neighbour km been called to the long-cloried doors, and the absence of the women at the publichouies is remarked ; a little crowd ' assembles in the street, and, after much consultation end =soy vague suppositions, Mr. Ware goes to the house of the husband of another sister a respectable per ▪ named Nicholson who, on report of the cir_ I cumatincea, proceeds with some friends to the home and opens the door with a key which be had, sad which happened to fit the lock. They then discovered the two women dead, and poor Beckenham under the bed, in the hat stage of exhaustion, as well he might be. The position et the bodies is correctly described in the Express of yesterday. The place, though decently furnished, was squalid end dirty to the last degree, and what ' Still clothes the wretched women had on were 1 , filled with the most noisome vermin, and the stench of the place from dirt was intolerable. There was not a vestige of food in any of the rooms, and it ' is very bard to say when a meal was last eateo there. At first John Beckenham, who was in a state of semboadity, was taken to Nicholson's house, but is consequence of Nichohon's wife being thrown into hysterics, he was after wards taken to his brother's house in Bland-etreet, Southwark, and he appeared at the inquest de cently clothed and clean, but his mind was evidently so gone that the coroner confined himself to ask ing one or two simple questions of identity. Of course rumours were at orce spread abroad of a frightful ;claming ease, and the very tact of three rumours has prevented the final clearing up of the mystery. because Dr. Gayton his declined the responsibility, under the circumstances, of examistieg the stomachs and portions of the viscera of the two women, which br..ve been sent for analyzation to Dr. Letheby. There was no trams it poison found by Dr. flattop, but be discovered two things, namely, that the brains of both women smelt of gin, and that both had what is popularly known as a gin liver, enlarged in each case to between nine and ten pounds ' in weight, of a bright buff colour, being at the mote time of the consistence of cream cheese. If poison should be (mad is the stomach, which is not likely, a full ioquiry will be made into all thecirennistances of the case. At present the iequest stands adjourned for some days, for the purpose of I allowing time for analyeation. THE INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Humphreys. the comer for the district, opened an inquest oo the bodies at the Crowe Inn, Deal-street. close by the scene of death. There were 'sly a few people present besides the witnesses. The jury having been sworu and basing viewed the bodice, The Brat witness called was John Beckenham, the im lenile and paralytic husband of ore of the deceased. Baying been assisted into the room and swore, be was *need in • chair and deposed as follows :—I am now living at No. 33, Great Bland-street, Southwark. I did live at 21, Albert-cottages, Mile-end New-town. I am a retired government servant. I was in the Post-office, and have retired on a pension. The deceased woman, Frames Beckenham, was my wife. Ido not know how old she was, I should think about 31, according to my judgment I left Albert-comages last Friday morning about ten o'clock. Whoa I left the house my wife was in the kitchen at know whether my wife bad been ill or well the day before. / do not remember anything that took place two or three days before. The Albert-cottages belong to the Metropolitan Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Claseel. On Friday I had nothing to eat before I west away. I bad none at all on Thuteday. Wednesday I had something very small. My wife had • sister named Gribbin, who had been staying at Albert-cottages three or lour days. When I left she was in the parlour alas( with " miens." She was alive. I dos% know that she had been 1. I saw them both two or three dare before, sad they were thee well. The reason why I did not get anythiog to eat epee the Friday was because belog paralytic, it pulls mildews seven or eight hours at • time. My wife did not gm aaythieg for me. I expected she would, but she wee set It will be observed that this evidence is very contra ilhstory. It is clear from the state of the bodies when lead that the women could sot have been alive as Friday ; the witness also firm mays he left his wife in the kitchen, and Uwe that he left Mni. Gribbin with his " minis . ' in the parlour. The coroner remarked that it was clear his awed was quite gone, and directed that he should be as oat el the room I THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1864.

She wads about forty, and was • widow. Her buaband was a magician, and used to lead the bead at dinky's. The other poor autotimer.* woman was aim • sister-ii.law of mine, and was three or four years older than Mrs. Gribbin. I went to the house, 21, AlberFootragea, about ten o'clock an Friday night, in coneequasee of • oommuntcation from Mr. Ware, the manager of the Metropolitan Buildings. I was iumompaoied by my two brothers end some other pension who were at sapper with me. 1 opened the door with my father's key. Os going up stain 1 found Mrs. Beckenham on the door, and Mn. Gribbin kneeling as the floor, with • the body and heed resting on her folded aims a the sofa. They were both dead. Mr. Beckealum was under the bed, and was naked with the exception of his shirt. His mind is completely gone. For • long time be has sot been right in his head, but he is quits harmless. The two women were very much given to habits of in temperance —very much indeed. Mr. Ware sent for a method gentleman, and aa imistaat eame. Two young men came, me from Mr. Richardson and one from Dr. Champoey. .1 myself sent for Mr. Clayton who sew the bodies in pronaely the mine 'Mumma in which they were found. 1 bad not seen my Isotbor-in-law for about a week I sew Mn. Gribbin on Sunday week as I was going to Sunday school, about 2in the afternoon. 1 last saw Mn. Beckenham five or sin weeks ago. I was ashamed of them, and it was not an uncommon thing for me not to NM them for days. My brother-in-law's pension was 14s. a week. The Coroser—Did you ever hear Km. Gribbin threaten Mrs. Beckenham ! EIiORI'ING INTELLIGENCE. 'S.—MoNDAy inERNOON. It is homily to be expected that at this flat period of the year the., will be any specadatioa worthy of comment at the Corner. Knaveamire saw what little there was last week, and Derby and Warwick and, perhaps, Exeter are the meetings where sloes the approaching great Doucette, event will be beached upon to any extent. This afternoon the York settling occupied the time—a settling eminently disastrous to backers, one heavy item in I the account against them being the defeat of Blair Athol. Apropos of the Items backer. of favourites have to sub mit to, there is another not coming under the legitimate ices and gain of betting—that is to say, not mar* when they win. Captain Nevin, a gentleman holding a OCCOOda• aka in the Leiccetershire Yeomanry, was unfortunate enough to back Scottish Chief and other winners at Ascot to the mount of 1,2001. with some members of the welching." fraternity, and has received fee far thing at his money. He posted a list containing their names in the room this atomics. What makes Captain Novas case a bard one is that he has lost money te these men as differeat times, and, of come, paid them.

I knew Mrs. Beckenham and Mrs. Gribbin. I lest had some drink with them on Tuesday. Mr. Beckenham came for ms to sit with his wife lint before ten o'clock in the weenies. Mr. Beck enham returned before one. Mrs. Beckenham wen in the kitchen. She was drained, bet had so miderclothing, only her gown on. She was witting by the fire. She was not to say thoroughly sober—middling. She appeared to we to have been drinking over night. Mrs. Gribbin was on the bed, and had a blanket rouod her shoulders. She same out in that state, with the blanket on her shoulders, and sat on the couch. There was no other bed in the room. , but there was a sofa. Mn. Gribbin also was " middling. Yoe could not say ahe was tipsy, quite, but she bad been drinking, and had not quite recovered. The first thing we did was to have • Wide more. I fetched a pot of beer about two o'clock. They hod neither victuals to eat, nor anything to drink. N e ponied the time talking about one thing and another. Mrs. Gribbin laid down on the couch, niciening and grassing with psis in her stomach, and vomited very much. She drank • good many gleams of water. She still bad the blanket round her shoulders. There was a guanine of go !etched with the beer. I have sees the bottle oo the table before, but there was no gin in it. I fetched no more to drink that day. They had nothing to eat. Mrs. Gribbin said she thought the gin did her a little good, and asked ma to go and feel in her pocket and see if there was any money in it, but there wan ' none. !don't know but,tbat Mrs. Beckenham might have fetched a drop of beer before I left, but 1 did not fetch any niore. Mrs. Gribbin did sot dries herself, and Mr. Beck's ham remained by the kitchen fire all day. They both seemed very ill. I left about nine o'clock. Mrs. Gribbin wan sick from three o'clock till bye. Tue sickness had left • good bit before I went away. The rooms consist ofa *Ming room, bedroom, and kitchen, with • water-closet, all on the same II ilre.Gribbie vomited clear water in she sink. She said her stomach was aching from want. Mrs. Beckenham was pretty well when I left. its I went away ou Tuesday night Mrs. Beckenham said, ...Come as early as you can to-morrow, Mrs. Gooney, for I shall have a ha* night of it to-night—l shall get no rest to-niebt." I have known them all for many years. Mr. Beckenham was always a very good, quiet man. I never knew Min to quarrel with his wife; he wan a very quiet man. I called three times on Wednesday morning, but could get no reply to my knocking. Mrs. Beckenham only had some old slippers on at the time 1 left, no stock - hip. I thought Mrs. Gribbin was very ill, and she might die. 1 never saw either of them alive afterwards. Hear, North, the landlord of the Prince of Wales, at the carom of Albert-street, stated that Mr. Beckenham fetched half • gallon of beer on Tuesday night. He came first and baked me to trust him, but I would sot. He went out and aka 10 minutes' abloom returned with a shilling. I asst for the can next day, but could not get any admittance. Dr. William Goyim, of Brick-lam, having nees sworn, deposed as follows :—I was celled to the house in question on Friday night, about 11 o'clock. On entering the room one corpse was found in a kneeling position, the head and chest resting on the conch, supported by the left band ; the right arm was daccid, and the hand resting oc the coach. Deemed was dressed, sod bed home and stockings on. Her clothes were covered with vermin. The body was pointed out es that of Mrs. Gribbin. The other body, which was that of Mrs. Beckenham, was lying in the left band corner of the room, near the bedroom doorway, the bead being close to the door. Deceased was lying on her beck, with one hand on the pit of the stomach, and the other tough ies her breast. libe was dressed is a shift, petti coat, and jacket.. Her legs were quite bare, and she was lying on a great mat, through ooe sleeve of which she had thrust her left arm. The whole place wee very dirty, but bore no appearani.e of abject poverty, nor was there the least appearuceof any struggle. The position of the bodies appeared to be that adopted in life. On making • post mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Cribb* he found it to he that of a stout middle-aged woman. The body was excesaliogly dirty, and there was a slight rigor mortis. There was no appearance of violence. The face was mach discoloured, apparently from the poetic" in which the body lay. The cornea were both dull, but the pupils of the eyes were rather dilated. The skin was peeling off all over the chest and abdomen, especially on the left side. On opening the skull the upper surface of the lest bemieptiere of the brain was somewhat opaque. The substance of the brain cut unusually firm, like that of spirit drinkers ; the ventricles were apparently healthy, and con tained • small quantity of bloody serum, about 2 ox. of which was fouod at the base of the skull. There was no fracture or injury of the skull observable, nor dad the mouth or tongue present any trams of corrosive poisoning. The heart was found dilated, flaccid, sod empty, but there was no effu'iou into the pericardium, and as v alvular disease. The substance of the heart was firm, but too pale for health. The lower lobe of the left lung was congested, but con. tamed • little air. The stomach appeared to be almost empty, as were the intestines. The liver was enormously large, weighing between 9lbs. and 10Iba., and the colour a bright buff, cat like • cream cheese. The front patios of the small intestine was somewhat congested, the kidneys granular with fatty de generation, and the bladder was quite empty. Witness tested the body for prussic acid, but it gave a negative re sult, nor was there any odour of poison about the bodiee. The only smell besides that of putrescence was that of a rather sweet spirituous odour in the brain. The body of Mrs. Beckenham was apparently that of a younger woman, and was mach less decomposed than the other ; but in this vas there was rather mom rigor mortie. There was no mark of external injury except on the left side, where there was a mark resembling that of • mustard planter. (in the middle of the forehead there was a bruise which extended to the bone, but there was no correspooding mark on the inside of the nil. On the hack of the heed there was a mere exteo. sive bruise. The brain was apparently healthy, sad cut very firm, like the other. There were about four moue of bloody serum at the bare of the skull. There was no extrammtion in the bra's, end no marks of corrosion in the mouth. The heart was nearly empty, sad wee severed with fat. There was a large pale clot of fat in the left ventricle, ex tending to the aorta and carotids, sad a similar clot on the right side, but not so large as to obstruct the pulmonary circulation. The liver was very largo, about aloe or tea pounds is weight, of the consistence of cream cheese, sod the colour wu a light buff. A portion of the liver and a piece of the small intestines, as well am the stomach, were in both cases reserved for analysstion by Dr. letbeby. Both the stomach end the intestines were perfectly empty, ea was the bladder, bat there was no appearance of indam sake. The kidneys were granular, sad the spleen was a pparently healthy. In reply to the coroner, The wanes' declined to give • precise opinion on the cense of death till after the resulta the an►lysstioe of the stomach and viscera had been made known ; sod The proceedings were accordin,,ly adjourned till 4 o'clock to-morrow(Wednesday) week. , 1 , THE LATE MR.

INCREASE Or LICENSES IN LlVERPOOL—Yester day the annual itemising sessions fur the borough of Liver pool were opened before a full bench of magistrates, and before the applications were heard several of the magis trates gave expression to their views upon the aubject of granting new licenses. It was stated by the clerk to the justices, is answer to a question put by Mr. Robert-1 son Gladstone, that of the 64 new licenses granted in 1861 none of the bolder. of them had been fined, and only six fined who bad heeled* granted in 1862 and 14111 It was stated by Mr. Stitt that in former year. it had been the habit of the court to take into consideration the wants ' of the neighbourhood, but the act of parliament only re quired them to inquire into the fitness of the person apply ing and the accommodation which the applicant's house afforded. It was au ascertained fact that beerhousee were productive of much more evil in the shape of drunkenness than the regularly licensed public-houses that were under the control of the magistrates ; and this records of the court showed that the offences against the law, whether for Sunday trading or permitting drunkenness, were alarm-sixteenths by beer-homes as compared with five sixteenths by public-houses. He (Mr. Stitt) would, there fore, say that the magistrates should grant licenses to all men of good character that applied whose premises were sufficient. Mr. Robertson Gladstone said that the people who were sow enjoying &license were enjoying a monopolY. and although thine were people who bold consc i en ti ous l y that by iocreasing the number of public-bosses you iocreseed facilities for people to get drunk, he could not see, unless persons bolding breams were willing to give shoed to the bench that they would not nil more than at present, that drunkenness would not increase. But rummest such a guarantee could be given, that no publican would exteod his bruises, be wished to know who would undertake to say ! hew the quantity already offered for sale and wild daily was to be distributed amongst the community. They had for years been endeavouring to put down monopolies, and if men of good character were refused licenses for fit houses, he oonld not think that it was not giving publics., a monopoly. This opleioe appeared to be concurred is generally, and the bench pomaded to hear applioatioas. Throughout tbeday the magistrates acted on the primiple of granting appliestroos to bamboo's-keepers who had not been Beal sad to people of good elareater.

The substratum of the soil, especially in light lands, is still dry and dusty ; but es harvest work a ant quite completed, where own has yet to be gathered the further supply of rain may be beonloially deferred. It would seem that Suaday's rein wee consigned with severe local storms, both injurious to property and life, but that of Tuesday was universally favourable. The ground being yreyboasly dry very little impediment has occurred in the prcgrss of harvest work, and a largo bulk of the new mop her been now ga thered. The yield remains doubtful, reports being coeflicting ; but enough is known to be assured that we have not the plenty of lest year, sad we may be below the average of seams..

Monday in Mark-lane oominsoced on small supplies both of English and foreign wheat. There was a moderate supply of wheat during the morning from Kent and Essex, mostly new. There was more life in the trade than of late, but no advance of price could be realised beyond the rates of the Previous Monday. The business in foreign remained limited, but much the same prices were paid for all descriptions. Cargoes afloat ware held at fanner values. Oa Wednesday there were 1,220 qrs. per coast, and 480 qrs. foreign. The umpire on show Ibis moiling went off more readily at fully the rates of the previous market for all English sorts; but in foreigu there was still but little doing, though prices were fully supported. Friday's returi.s were 1,550 qrs. eriastwne, 1,210 qrs. foreign. The maniples than exhibited, whether , new or old, were quickly taken by millers at the previous rates, and the tone of the trade was generally improved. Holders of foreign exhibited more confidence, but not much Waimea was passing. There was but • moderate supply of oountry flour, and the foreign arrivals were short and exclusively American. Norfolk' and other country descriptions fully command pre ! vious rates, and so did all floe barrels of American and other foreign town quotations remain as previously, with 40/. se a top price.
