Blythe was recalled at the request of Serjeant pull, and was asked by him whether she knew an over. cut with a velvet collar belonging to Muller, and mid— i know it, and know it well. I bat iaw it on the 14th July, the day be was leaving. I cannot Bay whether be was wearing it, or whether he had it on his arm. lam air I saw it. nig wee the cue for the proucation. THE DEFENCE serieact Parry then proceeded to address the jury. He said he bad s very responsible duty to perform, and he was sure the young man at the bar would have a lair and impartial trial. He knew how difficult it would be for them to avoid being led away. They had been invited by the Solicitor-General to dismiss f r om their minds all that they bad seen and heard respect ing the murder. It had been fully discussed &Imola every where. Articles had appeared in the public papers, some tr the effect that he meat have committed the murder, and others that he could not have done it. He thought it was somewhat unusual that such an action should have taken place, and all that had appeared could not have failed to make some impression on their minds, but he hoped that when the jury left to consider their verdict they would dismiss from their minds all that they had heard or seen, except that which had bees adduced in evidence before them. The crime, he agreed, wan one of the greatest--we which affected every man in the kingdom who travelled by railway, and one which 511 ed every breast with honor—still he had faith in the hearts of the jury that they would allow no vindictive feeling to enter their mind, and if they even entertained the slightest such feeling, they would banish it now. The course he was about to take on the part of the pri soner should not be misunderstood. Men in his pm/anion ' have damaged their client by the solemn aseereration of the innocence of the prisoner. The true test of a mates guilt or innocence is the evideoce brought at his trial, and he Lela it a transgression of professional duty if he pledged his word in that of which he could know nothing save by the evidence ; but he would pledge himself to demonstrate that by the evidence laid before them, supplemented by the evidence which he would lay before them, they could not find him guilty. The crime most be brought home to him by most unmistakeable evidence. Tie jury most be as satisfied of his guilt as though they LAI with their own eyes men him commit the deed. Ile believed, with his learned friend, that circumstantia l evidence was satisfactory, but it mast be without a link wanting in the chain of evidence, and if the chala is not complete, then the jury could not act. The prosecution relied mainly on pieces of iridium— the hat found in the railway carriage, the hat found in the prisoner's box, and the watch and chain found in his box. He would show that evidence was not eatisfactory. With regard to the hat found in the carriage, the two witnesses who spoke to that were Mrs. Repent and the cab man. If the hat belonged to the prisoner it was said it war conclusive evidence of his guilt. It brought him on the some of the murder. It was • question whether it ever was !fuller's hat. Mrs. Repach could not tell the lining of the hat belonging to anyone else. Yet slw would have it believed that she bad looked into this ha so many times, and wee sure it was his. This, be thought, was very peettliez. He said it was not E.pmbable that Muller had • hat resembling the bat found in the carriage, which would account for that wimeas swearing that that hat was the same. He would not hint that he had the slightest thought that Matthews 11113 the man who committed the murder, or that he bad been in the least manner concerned is it, or knew anything about it ; but he would say that he was not • man whose ev.dence could be relied upon, and he drew the attention of tte jury to the fact that Matthews was no doubt actuated by a desire to obtain the reward, or a part of it, that L.l been offered for the discovery of the perpetrator of that horrid crime. He would not say that suspicion bad cot been pointed at Matthews, because that fact could not be denied. He could not at first account for where he was on the night of the murder, but be had since ascertained. With regard to the bat Serjeant Parry reverted ho the fact that the bat which Matthews had resembling Muller's hat could not be found. It wee very strange, he said, that the only two hate that bad that coloured lining should have bees bought by Matthews. Might not the hat found In the carriage be the one belong ing to Matthews'—not that he wose it on the night of the murder. He had been in the habit of Leavieg hie old hats where he bought his new ogee. If Matthews were truthful in other matters, could it be believed that he---a camas— was not cognisant of tech a murder having been committed midi the Thursday following! His wife and his lodgers knew it, and it seemed almost impossible that he could be telling the truth. The Solicitor-General had said, where is M able@ bat if the one produced were not his! Where was Matthews's tat! He, it seemed to him, was in the same strait as Muller—his hat could not be found either. There was, be minded, no proof that this hat irier belonged to the pri soner. There might be suspicion, but that most be cast :aide, and the charge must be proved. With regard to the Eat alleged to be Mr. Briggs', there could be no doubt it hal been cut dorm and stuck on. The prisoner appeared t., Lave given different statements regarding the time he LI had the hat, and be regretted to find that the primmer Li made many statements which were cot true ; but ft S. very clear that he was • vain and a boastful man, and was in the habit of saying many things with regard to and his belongings that were not qaite true. With re.uil to the statements as to the bat and watch, he might Lea thought there was something wrong, but because he hal made • statement that was not correct he was not to , 3tvicted of the murder. With regard to the hat, how ever, he contended, there was no evidmoe to prove that the ir,rier had not bad it two months. He would prove .: hats were cut down in the second-hand trade, the hat produced had Muller's name in it, Dimas had said he would not swear that he sold t.. 1 hat to Mr. Briggs, since it had been cut down. He is. „if,ht it strange no one had been called to show what Mr. Briggs had oa os this bight, and there was no eto prose before the jury that Mr. Briggs wore that n that night. The prisoner had curiously awash, as ' : writing his name in the hat said to be Mi -t , pat '• 2'2, Jewry-street," his own address t. Mr. Briggs frequently had his bats lined, and the • gin tins case was not new. It was quite c0n ..,4r aitb probability that the watch and chain ; urchased by the prb.oner of some one at the docks, . Le went to Mr. Death to see if they were good. ...rued contra contended that, patting aside the false ....roents of the prisoner, his conduct was not in any r-ipect , uch at to support the supposition that he ass guilty.

The present month offers great facility to the chronicles of fashions, as a decided stamp has now bees given both to the form of oceturess sod the material to be employed. We remark, se the winter seam approaches, how much the baptise an returning into favour; end we may affirm now that robs., whatever their tame, will adopt them ge nerally. It is true it will not be thealeasio basun* worn for the het few years ; on the contwtry, the new bisque is en tirely one of fancy. The habit, with 'Tare tails, or tails turned beck ; the long beams of the vests de chaise ; and the baaques de masque. with a broad band, are all in vogue. The palettita and masques are now drawn to the waist by • broad band, making them resemble the blouses. We hope all ladies of taste will protest against this exceedingly ugly and nogreoetul style ; though we must admit that, however nobeamiing, a new fashion is readily adopted by novelty *eskers. The material for dream has assumed a more scombire sod heavier appearaose. We may bid adieu to passe sod Loons ; poplins, taffetas, and reps de Line, have taken their place. The novelties in silk are very splendid—Pompadour taffetas and satins for grande toilette. The white moires, with broad stripes of taffetas in various designs and colours, are espe cially remarkable for their elegance. Why do young, rich, and elegant ladies prefer wearing drafts decidedly moaning in their appearaaes, Guth as • black or black and grey robe, trimmed with jet, sad ear rings and buckle to match ? It most be allowed that sombre ooloure are better for the complexion ; and black, especially, is very becoming to almost everyone. This, then, rosy be the true aims for its pceferenoe, mad so good • owe that wooed seek no other. Now, the steel-calcined and trey moire antique, silk grey gros grains, ►nd grey terry velvet, are in demand ; and who is not powered of a black moire antique or a violet taffetas ? Velvet and cloth are making their appearance, and it is probable that velvet will, as last year, be adopted for all de. scriptions of toilettes. So long as the temperature does not compel us to envelope ourselves in winter clothing, per de us of the same material as the draw, with Testes and (*nage' in all makes, will be seen. Evening-drones are made with pan and leagues formed of lace and silk. Embroidered dresses will be very feehion able the winter. Satin, embroidered with twisted silk, or chenille, has a very good appearance. Bonnets next claim our attention. With the winter wenn feathers will appear • bat before winter—that is to say, before velvet bec omes general in demand—we have autumn, with the taffetas capons, which are all the fashion now, sod in ornamented with dowers. For ex ample : upon a browaish grey eapote—a colour meet in vogue at present— Is placed a booth of large purple velvet flowers, with grapes and ornaments of pearl beads. A lilac elk eapote may be trimmed with a wreath of violet heart's-ere mixed with leaves of velvet, placed all round the front, and under the crown in lieu of a curtain. Most bonnets now have, in deo* of the curtain, a narrow lace frill, bouillonnes, aquas of ribose, or wreaths of dowers. A branch of flowers placed on the side, sad partly veiled by lee or bouillonnil, comprise the arrangement of theme coquettish coiffures. Bonnets become 'Dialler and smaller, en much so that one is likely to inalaini—" la it poeible they can fit any lady's heed ?' Bat when worn, we are constrained to ley they are meet graceful, and becoming to the face. BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held M 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern, Mr. Joas &MOIL ia the chair. The report having been taken as read, The Castell.24 moved its adoption. He observed that at the last meeting he noticed that the contractor had a claim against the company. Subsequently Mr. Watson sent in a clam for 75,0001. The claim was referred to Mr. Vignola, the company's engineer, who thought that it was too large ; and he was happy to ay that the claim had been finally settled by the payment of 30,0601., thus leaving the capital account fres from any claim. As regarded the traffic, he regretted to may that It was unsatisfactory, not being sufficient to pay the ad interim dividend of Ile. pr share, or per cant. for the half-year. There was • deficiency of 5.1. per share. The prospect. of the current half-year were not much better than the regatta of the last hell-year, though he hoped that there would be a considerable reduction of apes. dittire. For some time to come the claim for maintenance of way would be inertaid by the necessity of replacing the decayed sleepers with new ones. It was impossible to say what would be the balance of profit at the end of the half year, but he did not think the dial. dad could be leis than 54 6s. per cent. per annum.Clearinp of land near the railway were progressing, and that, of aura, would tend to incases the traffic, which, moreover, was gradually being swollen from the old routes. After some diacussion the report was adopted. GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICE. The following is a copy of the report of the ooaw►in of the Castor Lifeboat of the N►tional lestitotioe, detailing • vary gallant service performed by their lifeboat on Wednesday morning last, briefly referred to in the Zspreas "Caistor, Norfolk, Oct. 26. " About 1.15 this morning a vessel was theerved by the coastguard apparently !line on the Barber Sands. They immediately mustered the Dokter company of bamb inos, and on them coming down to the beach tbey saw the vessel, but there being no Opals dying from her, and it being very dark at the time it was th ought the venal was riding outside of the sa nd. Awatchful eye was, how ever, kept on bee—the wind being E.S.E., which sewed a heavy sea to break on all that part of the sand—and about 1.4.5 a.m. a flare was shown from the vessel. We then im mediately lausebed our large yawl Eclat, and proceeded towards the vessel, and, on our nearing her, signal.lights were shown in quick succession. When we get within bail of them we could see that the vessel was lzi i nj a. is amongst the breakers on the Barber with the sea making • fair breach over her. Whim the crew of the ship saw the yawl they shouted loudly for assistance ; but there being so much sea breaking over the vessel, we dare not approach her, but we shouted to the mew to keep their hearts up, and told them that we would return to the shore and hooch the lifeboat and come tothair NOM, which we did ; and about 5 o'clock we suc ceeded in taking the crew, ole in number, out of the rigging into the li feboat. Coesidemble damage wee done to the lifeboat in so doieg. We then healed away from the vessel by the lifeboat cable, and proceeded to the shore with the utmost speed. Oo inquiring of the captain we athertailied that the sumer@ name wee the Richmond P.cket, from Middlesbro' to Dunkirk, laden with iron. We reacted our station about 6 o'clock a.m., the crew being dreocli,cl to the skin. We took them to our warehouse, and gave them some refreshment, and afterwards conveyed them to the Sailors' Home at Yarmouth.—Souum. GEuRGIL, coxswain." THE CONSIIRVATIViIi nt FAUX.

In the mining market to-day the dealer;aieainTost exclusively engaged in the settlement of the fort nightly account, and prices generally are quoted the same as yesterday. Great Vor shares continue in strong demand, and have risen to 35 to f. East Car don, on the other hand, have declined to 22 to 4. New Martha are quoted If to I ; and East Otronville, 71 to St. John del Rey shares have been dealt in at 301 and 32, being firm, and General at 24. The annual meeting of the East del Rey Mining Company (Limited) is convened for the Bth of November. At Lady Bertha Mine meeting, held yesterday, the accounts showed an estimated debit balance on the next three months' operations of UN. 9a. A call of 2s. per share was made. We are requested to state that the National Portrait Gallery, 29, Great George-street, West minster will be closed from November 7th to November 30th. THZ RZNIZSZNTALTION or WOODZSOCIL —Mr. M. Henry, son of the late Mr. Alemoder Henry, of Mae. cheater. has been» a creadhdate for the representation of Woodstock, and has imam' aa address to the elec tors. Mr. Hoary has commenced a personal mamas of the electors, and from the reception be hsa mat with, the Duke of Marlborough's gamines, Mr. Banton, of Glymptor park,. will , it is supposed, have a very din/calk matter lo pm a seat for that borough at the next paean; eleatice. REPRESENTATION or RI:LL.—The coming parlia mentary election for Hall attracts considerable attention. The presence of Mr. Clay in the borough for so many days, and his attention to the electors, naturally tends to pro mote speculation as to coming events. Mr. Somas, too, was here last week, and was present at the opening of the new Rifle Volunteer Barracks, and also at the launching of three new vessels from the shiphitildiog yard of the Humber Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company, in whirl be holds • large pecuniary stake. An address to the electors from Mr. Joseph Hume renewing hie pledge to coolest the repro gestation, has be en Maned. ft is currently reported that Mr. Charles Norwood, • well-known and influential mer chant in the town, will be brought forward as the mooed liberal candidate. Altogether a contested election appears certain.—Entrern Morning Metre. Tee REPRESENTATION or CARLISLE.—Rio under stand it is in eoutemplatios to brit', forward, at the forth earning general election, • osedidate for the Nor...station of Carlisle in opposition to Mr. Wilfrid Lawson. The gentleman to whom we refer is a man of position and of great abilities, while his political views are in com plete accordance with those of the majority of the constituency of that borough. The principal ground of opposition to Mr. LIMOS will be kis persistent advocacy of the Maine Liquor Law—a mewing which would most seriously interfere with the liberty of ' the subject, by denying the people of these realms the right to act as they think Shin their own homes. Mr. Law son has, by his intolerant conduct in NAM( to compel the people of this country to accept the Maine Liquor Law, rendered himself unpopular with a considerable portion of the constituent body of Catinde.—Aforning Advertiser. RUMOURED RESIGNATION or Ka. JUSTICE Wlle assn.—lt was confidently statedat the Old Bailey bar yes terday that Mr. Justice Williams,seho bas of late bees suf fering from a very serious attack of Ulnas, will resign his seat on the judicial bench at thecommencemast of the forth ooming Michaelmas term. Rumour points to Sir R. P. Ool liar, M.P., the Solisitor-Oenerol, as the new jedp, an ap pointment which is said only to have bees delayed from the necessity imposed upon him of conducting the came in the prosecution of Muller. MULLER IN Comm.—He is a short and slightly. made young man, almost boyish io appeamnos, sad with light brown hair. He was vastly dressed in a plain, brown coloured morning coat, which be wore bottomed on the chest. His manner was quiet, self-possessed, and respectful. For some time at first his countesses, was pale, bet at length roomed what appeared to be its natural hue. While the jury were being inipauneled be stood in front of the dock, taking comparatively little interest in the ins. He was in no way &hashed at the gam which farad upon him from all directions, and kept looking ' towards the beach with a modest expression of orronte lance, turning neither to the right nor to the left. He listened with much apparent anxiety and interest to the opening speech of the Solicitor-Gerona, which lasted an hoar. He was allowed to sit alined from the b lamed sad he frequently communicated with his solicitor by writing sad by word of month. Towards the close of the day be became animated and excited at times, and lent over the freak of the dock (mussily to converse with his attorney.—Fiesee. MONEY MARKET.-(71118 DAL) Two o'CLoar. The stock markets are again better to-day, owing to the favourable Bank return and to the hope of an easier money market. The funds have risen i per cent., and many of the home railways to }. Foreign bonds and financial shares are likewise better. The money market is rather more active to-day, owing partly to the fortnightly settlement in the Stock Exchange. The minimum for first class three months' bills is 81 per mat. _ Consols are now quoted 89} to i for money, and 89i "buyers" for the account (Nov. 10). The official bulimia report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 89f, ; ditto, for account, 89f, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 87*, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 871, it, ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 104, ; Exchequer Bills, March, 4s. dis. ; ditto, June, 14s. die. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have risen 1 per cent, Mexican 1, and a number of the other speculative foreign stocks / to 1. Some of the present quotations are annexed, viz.:. —Greek, 221 to e ; Mexican, 261 to 271 ; Confederate, 64 to 66; Spanish Passive, 311 to 1 ; the Certificates, 131 to 14k; Turkish Bonds of 1868, 68 to 69; ditto 1862, 711 to ; and the Consolidds, 501 to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Chilian, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 82 ; Greek, 221 ; ditto Coupons, for account, 91 ; Italian, for ac. count, 641 ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 71}; Mexican, for account, 261, 271 ; New Granada Deferred, 61; Peruvian, 1862, for sa -1 count, 811 ; Portuguese, 1856, &c., 461 ; 1822, 881; ditto 1862, 871, 88 ; ditto, 1864, 861; Spanish, for account, 471 ; ditto Passive, 311; ditto for account, 311, 1, 1 ; ditto Certificates, 14, ; Turkish, 1838, for account, 681 ; ditto 1862, for account, 711 ; ditto 1001.

The steamer Great Britain has arrived from Mel bourne, but the amount of gold on board has not yet been ascertained. Fous o'CLoci. Consols au quoted 89} to ?, for money, and 891, "buyers," for the account, being about the same as at 2 o'clock. No bullion operations of any importance have occurred at the Bank. The effect of the high value of money in con tracting trade is shown in the steady diminution which is taking place in the number of mercantile bills seeking discount ; and it may be safely antici pated that within a brief period the number of borrowers will be greatly below that of lenders. The inevitable result of this will be a fall in the rates, which seems to be delayed only by the belief that further mercantile failures must take place before the heavy losses in cotton and other produce can be cleared off.
