LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22. THE appearance of the metropolis at the pre sent time is almost that of a city which is under going the process of reconstruction. It is impos sible to pass from one part of the town to another without coming in contact with some of the great works which are doing for London in the unsystematic manner of Englishmen quite as much as has been more logically and systematically done for Paris. On either of the great lines of thoroughfare between the East and West the dirt and demolition and apparent confusion through which we struggle to something better are forced upon our notice. Along the most northern of these routes the traffic is diverted at King's-cross by the new works of the Metropolitan Railway ; and a little further on a long line of boarding marks the place where acres of poor houses and low streets have been swept away, and where the new Station of the Midland Railway Company is rising in their place. Along the middle route, the great works of the Holborn Viaduct and the new streets connected with it hinder the traffic they will soon facilitate, and an unusual sense of width and airiness soon after the rising of the hill reminds us that the ancient obstruction of Middle-row has vanished at last, and that before long the tide of an unhindered traffic will roll over its site. Along the most southerly route, the ruinous corners of Ludgate-hill remind us that the railway which has bridged that crowded thoroughfare is still a new thing, though it has become such an everyday con venience as to have rendered antiquated the times when wo did without it ; and beyond Temple-bar there is a whole city falling into ruin, demolished apparently by occasional bombardments, or being removed with the slowness of a Chancery suit, to make way for the new law courts, which are some day to be so splendid an ornament to that end of the city of Westminster. But all these works together scarcely equal those which " the silent " highway" of the river presents to notice. Pass ing the huge timber structures which form the scaffolding of the new bridge which is being erected at Blackfriars, and supply a temporary substitute for the old one, the white granite line of the Embankment is now traceable, with only partial breaks, all along the Middlesex shore to West minster-bridge, while on the other side of the bridge a similar line appears on the Surrey side, and stretches away in tolerable completeness beyond the palace at Lambeth. Behind this embankment and exactly opposite the Houses of Parliament, but extending in a longer line and covering perhaps a larger space, are the founda tions of the hospital removed from the Borough, the new buildings for which will be a magnificent ornament to the squalid Lambeth shore. In other parts of the metropolis the same process of demo lition and reconstruction is going on. The narrow streets about Doctors'-commons are being gradually removed for a street which is some day to connect Cannon-street with Blackfriars-bridge ; the vast area of Smithfield is undergoing complete trans formation, and presents at this moment a remark able picture of unroofed timbers, as seen from the other side of the valley ; while in the West End the Metropolis District Railway, in the North West the Metropolitan Exten sion to St. John's Wood, and in the North the new Midland line everywhere bring us into contact with bricks and mortar. The trans formations of the last ten years have been consi derable, but they are nothing to those which are now in progress, and the completion of which another five years may witness. The Napoleonic rjrtimc has been greatly praised for giving France a new Paris, but the Victorian era of English legis lation, working with less of directness and demon stration, will probably accomplish the far greater work of giving England a new London. It will be observed that all these improvements are of a public character. They remove inconve niences and eyesores, and tend to make the me tropolis handsomer, healthier, and more convenient for middle class and rich people to live in. But Londoners have often been reminded that there is another side to this picture. The demolitions which have gone on to so vast anextent are chiefly those of old quarters and poor houses, inhabited by the labouring population, who are perhaps worse housed in London than in any city in the kingdom. Of course nothing can possibly be more desirable than that all such quarters should be removed, and there may come a time, perhaps, when squalid streets and blind alleys, and nests of crime and pestilence, shall be regarded as evils unaccountably tolerated by less enlightened gene rations. But we are bound to remember that nothing is being done at present which constitutes a step in this direction. The demolition of one low quarter only produces another elsewhere. We pull down one refuge of poverty, but it is compelled to find another. We drive a multitude from one low region to make other regions more crowded, and other quarters fuller. This has been re cognised and talked about in Parliament, and some attempts have been made to remedy it, but no effectual legislation has been found possible in THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1867. the present constitution of the Legislature, and all the private attempts to remedy it have been ne cessarily conducted on • private scale. But it has naturally suggested itself to most persons who have thought of the subject at all, that if the Legislature can empower public com panies to take property at its fair value and re move it for one form of public convenience, there could be no dangevingiving the same power toother companies for other forms of public convenience. Mr. fit Tettsou TO/LIMNS, in his Bill for Improv ing the Dwellings of the Working Classes, pro posed to give local authorities power to obtain sites by compulsory purchase, to erect dwellings thereon, and to maintain them by rates. His Bill of last session improved on this suggestion, and it was stated that in Committee it would have been proposed that under certain conditions powers of compulsory purchase of squalid and unhealthy property should be conferred on companies estab lished to provide improved dwellings for the working classes. But the progress of the Bill on its way to Committee was blocked by a discussion on the Tornado case, and it will therefore have to be re-introduced during the next session. It is quite obvious that no other way of dealing with the question remains than that of conferring on some authority compulsory powers to purchase such properties, attaching to the exercise of those powers the obligation to renew and restore them as dwellings for classes of people similar to those which at present inhabit them. It is nothing to replace a squalid street by a street of shops or offices, or by a large public building. It is I nothing to pull down whole acres of cheap and nasty lodgings, and put dear but cleanly ones in their place. What needs to be done is to provide cheap and good residences for the poor at the same time that the competition of landlords, who live upon the high profits of crowded squa lor, is bought out by the compulsory purchase of their property by those who undertake in the act of purchase the obligation of its improvement. Even the supply of fit dwellings would be only half, though the better half, of a movement to elevate the homes of the people—the abolition of unfit places is needful to complete the work. We are already reconstructing the public London ; but to complete the work private Lon don must be reconstructed too. Private philanthropy and public spirit are not strong enough to do this under present conditions ; but it will be possible to render them such legislative help and to create for them such conditions as will enable them to work in favourable circum stances. We can never have a city without poor, but we not only may have, but ought to have a city without degraded and degrading quarters, the haunts of fever and the breeding grounds of crime. The Victorian reconstruction of London will be a great success or a splendid failure accord ing as it succeeds in making it a better home for the vast population around us, or as it merely renders it a more brilliant and striking metropolis, and a more convenient place of temporary so journ for wondering visitors from all quarters of the globe. It should do the last, but not leave the first undone. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) France decided that the will of the majority in the United States should constitutethe union a single state, • power was given to the democratic theory which made resistance to • reform bill in England impossible. Had Lord Derby re signed, he had reason to believe that his opponents' bill would only have differed from his own for the worse, and HO he decided on a conservative bill, one which is just to the country and conservative classes. The ratepaying qualification is quite a different thing from household suffrage pure and simple. How can it be be lieved that the vast majority of the conservative party were tamely willing to sacrifice those principles merely in order that a score of their political friends might receive the emoluments and dispense the favours of office? And if the country gentlemen were sincere in their belief that the course of the government was the best under the cir cumstances, and so convinced of this that the secession of General Peel and Lord Cranborne—both great favourites and trusted leaders—could not cause them to waver for a moment, if they were sincere in their belief, why suppose that their leaders were less so LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. THE ITALIAN CABINET. The second edition of the Tim,., contains a tele gram from its correspondent at Florence, dated 11 o'clock last night, to the effect that General Cialdini has not yet succeeded in obtaining colleagues to enter with him into office, and there is an apparent probability that the present ministry will remain in power. Demonstrations have been made, and municipal addresses adopted in numerous places in favour of the Roman move ment, and against all foreign interference. The insurgents within the papal territory have met with severe reverses. Garibaldi is at large. censor. The suns of the deceased Aincer continue to command the new Anieer's army. It is said that Ameer Shere Ali has retired to Herat to seek the aid of his son, who is governor of that town. THE TRENCH INT/MIDMOST IN ITALY. The Times supposes the King of Italy to be now prepared to proclaim that Italy cannot go to war with France, and must therefore renounce all thought of over throwing the Papacy by violent means. For such a policy a better choice than Cialdini, who is a man without poli tical precedents, could not have been made. The moment, however, is very critical, and if Garibaldi is on the Papal territory, even the present act of the drama would probably not be closed without a tragic scene ; nor would it most certainly be the last act. Whatever may be the actual upshot of the movement at the present moment, the diffi culties with which the new government will find itself beset on its first installation are so great and so many that it is impossible to look forward even to the immediate future with anything like confidence. The postponement of the French expedition to Rome is a legitimate cause for congratul►tion, but the Daily Nora fears that the Italian crisis is likely to be intensified if this intervention continues to be as active politically as before. The imperialist organs represent that Victor Emmanuel has surrendered to the Emperor on all points, and is pre pared to employ the national forces of Italy in a work which must be hateful and injurious to the nation ; but the Daily News prefers to suspend a judgment until Cialdini and his new cabinet by some unequivocal sot prove that be has undertaken to do the will of the French Emperor. The King won his present position by risking hie crown rather than permitting Italy to be at the mercy of a foreign power, and he holds it only on condition of protecting the independence of the nation, as no one understands better than General Cialdini. For this reason the Daily News suspects that the sinister congratu lations of the French semi-official press are premature. The 111 rald congratulates Victor Emmanuel on his sup posed surrender, as it considers the success of the red shirted bands would have been a heavy misfortune for the world. The people of Italy must restrain their impatience and be content to wait a more favourable opportunity. The Standard is proud in having been almost alone on this side of the Channel in having predicted that Italy would re cede from her position. Italy may yet have to confront grave perils, but Cialdini has a firmer hand than Rattaui, and the Standard does not fear the result. Arguing that Cialdini would be even less disposed than his predecessor to favour the invasion of the Pope's dominions, the Telegraph says he was known to have taken peat umbrage at the exorbitant demands put forward by the officers of the Sicilian expedition for promotion in the ranks of the Italian army; and at the time of As promonte he expressed himself with possibly undue severity concerning the ex-dictator, for whom he has always entertained a very meagre sympathy. The Slay cannot disguise from itself that even in going so far as he has already done, the Emperor Napoleon has committed an unfortunate blunder. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. Commenting upon the explanations which three mem bers of the cabinet have lately offered on the subject of the Abyssinian expedition, the Dail!, NC H% observes that the feeling of the country is interpreted by Lord Stanley and Sir Stafford Northcote, rather than by Sir John Peking. ton, wbo seems to regard the expedition as a gallant enter prise, which makes the national pulse beat high with the joy of battle. The expedition is a very disagreeable necessity which cannot be avoided. We would rather not touch Ring Theodore at all if we could help it, but the sanctity of envoys is involved in Mr. Rassam's case, and were we to leave the prisoners of Magdallah unres ' cued or unavenged no British resident at an eastern court would be safe. Sir Robert Napier, as Sir Stafford North ' cote informed the farmers of Ramesh, goes out with political as well as military powers. He has authority to i negotiate as well as to fight. As he will negotiate with an army behind him, there is some hope that his diplo macy may prove more successful than that of Mr. Rassam. But the possibility, which we fear is also • probability, must be confronted, that the warlike prepa rations which have been made will require to be used. Here the difficulty begins. There is every ground to feel trait in the resources provided by the government, and in the skill of Sir Hobert Napier, but every one will be gratified if the display of force is so cogent as to dispense with the necessity of using it. THE CONSERVATIVE SURRENDER. The &a rfar+l find■ it impossible to leave such an attack as the Quarterly Reriete has made upon the conduct of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli to pun unchallenged, as the arguments of Lord Cranborne and Lord Carnarvon derive moral weight from their reputation. To the charge that the chief object of the ministers was to retain office, the Standard replies that from the time when England and Wirt Court. BALMORAL, Ocr. 20. The Queen drove out, accompanied by Prince and Princess Christian, and attended by Mrs. Gordon. The Duke of Buckingham had the honour of dining with the Queen and the royal family. Mr. Archibald Ramaden, of Leeds, had the honour of performing before her Majesty on Dawes' melody har monium. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, went out shooting yesterday with the Duke of Cambridge, near Richmond. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial. office from the Governor of Gibraltar, Malta, the Bfauri- tius, the Australian Colonies, Ceylon, and Hong Kong. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch have gone on a visit to the Earl of Romney, at Mote Park, near Maidstone, Kent. The Earl and Countess of Wilton will remain at Heaton Pork till the middle of next month, and then go to Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray, for the hunting season. The Earl (10 Grey, accompanied by the Messrs. Vyner, hair arrived at his seat in Yorkshire, from Scot land. The Hon. R. W. Grosvenor, M. P., and the Hon. Mrs. Grosvenor have quitted Switzerland for Milan and Florence. The Hon. George Handcock, brother of Lord Castlemaine, died on Sunday night. STOPPAGE OF A BANK AT LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. This afternoon the directors of the Royal Bank suspended payment, in consequence of the refusal of London banks to discount some shipping paper which they considered objectionable. The Royal is a largo holder of such shipping securities. The nominal capital of the bank is 1,150,0001., in fifty thousand shares of 20/. each, and fifteen hundred seven per cent. preference shares of one hundred pounds each. The Royal is not a limited bank. The manager is Mr. Henry Withers. The liabi lities are variously estimated between one and a half and four millions. This is the second time the Royal has failed. As the proprietary is a wealthy one hopes are entertained that the bank will arrange to resume operations. A meeting of the shareholders is to be held on Wednesday. GREAT REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT NORTHAMPTON. NORTHAMPTON, MONDAY NIGHT. A great reform demonstration took place here to-day. About 1,000 persons took tea together. There was a grand torchlight procession and a public meeting and 11111. At the meeting resolutions were passed declaring the Reform Bill to deserve public congratulation but strongly demanding its amendment. Mr. Gilpin and Lord Henley, the borough members, spoke. The former severely denonne"rl the tory leaders, in whom he said we could have no faith. The Irish church and cburch•rate questions, he said, must occupy the atten tion of parliament. Although a voluntary in the matter of education he was bound to confess that voluntaryism had failed, and he was earnest in advocacy of a national sys tem of education. He was extremely grieved at Earl Rumen's proposal to endow the catholic', and thought the declaration of their bishops deserved to be written in letters of gold. Lord Henley also denounced the tory leaders, and said the question as to personal payment of rates mast be considered in the next parliament. The whole proceedings were enthusiastic and unani mous. The Queen's letter has arrived out, conferring upon the Rajah of Mysore the dignity of Knight Grand Commander of the most exalted Order of the Star of India, as stokes of " the esteem in which her Majesty holds his person and the services he has rendered to her Indian empire." Lord Napier sent the letter on by Colonel For dyce, his military secretary, to Mysore, where it was re ceived with en the pomp and circumstance of Oriental etiquette. Colonel Fordyce, mounted on an elephant, " magnificently decorated with jewelled trappings and handsome and massive silver howdah," and followed by the Acting Commissioner of Mysore and other officials, carried the letter to the palace, where the rajah was wait ing to assist him to dismount, and to " throw gold upon the letter," which, after royal salutes,feer-dr•joir,largesses of gold and silver, and other ceremonies, was formally read aloud, first in English and then in Canerlos. The Herald says :—" Mr. Ferrand has been obliged to decline many invitations to attend the inaugural ban. gusts of conservative associations, as he is leaving England to winter in Italy on account of the delicate health of the Hon. Mrs. Ferrand." Tho Improvement Committee of the Corporation of the City of London made en official inspection yesterday of the extensive works which are now being pushed forward under their auspices, and at enormous cost, for bridging over the valley between Newgate•street and Holborn in the public interest, and for the formation of several Internl streets and thoroughfares, designed to facilitate and imam. modate the traffic in that part of the City, and especially in connection with the new meat and poultry market now in course of erection by the corporation on the site of ancient Smithfield. The Railways (Ireland) Commissioners hold their first meeting at 9, Victoria-street, Westminster, yesterday. Present: Sir Alexander A. Y. Spearman, Bart., Mr. John Mulholland, Mr. John Fowler, C.E., Mr. Seymour Clarke, and Mr. Christopher Johnstone. The secretary, Mr. W. Neilson Hancock, LLD., was also present. The United States' frigate Franklin, 39, Captain Pennock, flag of Admiral Farragut, from Spithead, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning, when the cus tomary salutes were exchanged. Her tender, the Frolic, Commander Harmony, accompanies the frigate. New SPIRITUAL PREIL—By the death of the Bishop of Lichfield, Dr. Cbiughton, Bishop of Rochester, becomes entitled to a seat in the House of Lords, and will be called upon to attend at the next meeting of parliament to read prayers, as junior bishop, at the sittings of the house. ----- BENEVOLENT FUND OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY OF CHEAT BRITAIN. —The election of two annui tants on this fund (to receive 301. each) took place on the 18th Wet., when Elizabeth Jonea and John Rogers were sncoessfulcandidates.

The Moniteur has at length broken silence, but after all it tells us very little. It confirms officially what everyone was previously aware of—that orders had been given to prepare an expedition from Toulon to Rome,butthat in consequence of as auranoes nn the part of the Italian government that they would prevent, as far as possible, all further aggression on the part of the Garibaldians, direc tions had been issued to stop the embarkation of the troops. The Monitenr further con firms the fact of the resignation of Signor Rattazzi and the nomination of General Cial dini to the post of Prime Minister. This, coupled with the statement in the official and officious journals of the imperial government—that not a single Garibaldian now remained in the Pon tifical territory—would seem to lead to the conclu sion that the wishes'of the Italians to have Rome for their capital are not to be realised for the present. Such at least is the conclusion to be drawn from the understanding which apparently has been come to by the two governments. But it remains to be seen what effect the knowledge of this arrangement will produce in Italy before it can be confidently stated that the new Roman question has been terminated. It is quite possible that the government of Cialdini— supposing he is able to form one—may hays to admit that it finds itself as powerless as was that of Rattazzi to7prevent Italian sympathisers from crossing the Roman frontiers. The late go_ vernment allege that they acted bond fide, and it is some proof of their good faith that they twice arrested the prime mover in the attack upon Rome, and no less than 2,000 Garibaldians who were seeking to cross the Papal frontier. If the Italian people are as excited on this question as their journals represent, it may bo wholly impossible for General Cialdini to put a stop to these inroads, and in that case the French government will have to advise anew on what they will do. The news that Major Ghirelli, at the head of from 1,400 to 2,000 men, formed a junction with Menotti Garibaldi, is at variance with the state ment that not a single Garibaldian soldier remains in the Papal territory, for Ghirelli had crossed the frontier, and it has never been stated that he re crossed , it. On the contrary, news from Flo rence, dated the 19th, says that he had taken possession of Orte, and proclaimed there a provisional government in the name of Victor Emmanuel. It is also reported that the principal portion of the band under Nicotera had joined the two other corps. Furthermore it is stated that Garibaldi is at large, having, it is said, escaped k to Sardinia, and thence embarked on board an American vessel. Where he will next turn up it is not difficult to conjecture. Admiral Ri botti had left Florence to take the command of the Italian !fleet in the waters of Civita Vecchia, with orders, it is said, to watch any Spanish vessels that might attempt t 'and a spanish force, on Italian soil. r The Gazettn d'ltalia says that the Spanish legs tion have demanded their passports ; and the Turin Ga:ette states that the Pope has written an autograph letter to the Queen of Spain asking for help in men . and money. The Roman correspondent of Liberte mentions that • rising was intended to take place in Rome on the evening of the 16th, but that the police got wind of the matter, and arrested two Garibaldians with English passports, who came to plan the outbreak with the committee of action. The military pickets were doubled, and the streets were patrolled during the night. Several persons besides the two Garibaldian officers were arrested. (REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE ?iIONITECR". PARIS, Ocr. ?2. The .3fonitoo- of this morning says In pre sence of the aggression of which the Pontifical States have been the object on the part of the revolutionary bands who have crossed the Papal frontier, the French government had formed the resolution to send an expeditionary corps to Civita Vecchia. The measure was in process of accom plishment, for with a due regard for its duty, its dignity, and its honour, the government could not expose itself to seeing the signature of France, which is affixed to the Convention of the Path September, 1864, violated or misapprehended. The Italian cabinet, however, categorically declared to the government of the Emperor that all necessary measures have been adopted to prevent the invasion of the Pontifical States, and to render the convention entirely efficacious. In con sequence of these communications the Emperor has given orders to stop the embarkation of the troops." The Dioniteur also says :—" A telegraphic de spatch from Florence announces that the King of Italy has accepted the resignation of Signor Rat tazzi and has charged General Cialdini with the formation of a now Cabinet." JOURNEY OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. MUNICH, OCT. 22. The Emperor of Austria, accompanied by Baron Beust and Count Andrassy, passed through this city during the night. His Majesty was welcomed by Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, and the other princes of the royal house. It is considered doubt ful whether tho Emperor will meet the King of Bavaria upon his return from Paris, as some cool ness exists between their Majesties since the rup ture of King Louis's engagement with the Duchess Sophia. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 21. The Hon. Mr. Elliot, the British Ambassador, arrived here on Friday last. His excellency will have an audience of the Sultan and pay an official visit to the Porte on Wednesday next.

LIVINGSTONE BELIEVED TO BE ALIVE. PLYMOUTH, Ocr. V. The Union Company's steamer Roman with the above mail has arrived here. Her dates are the Cape of Good Hope, Sept. 20 ; St. Helena, the 28th; and Ascension, Oct. 2. Sho brings 55 pas sengers, 65 invalids and time-expired men from different regiments, with 2 women and 2 children, 5 boxes of specie, and a full general cargo. The mails were landed here, and the Union proceeded to-day for Southampton. At the Cape the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh and the doings of his royal highness have been the leading topics of the month. The Prince en tered into the spirit of such festivities as the colo nists were able to provide for him with the utmost heartiness and good will. After a round of public appearances at balls and places of amusement, and laying the foundation stone of a graving dock in Table Bay for iron -dads, he proceeded to linysma, on an elephant hunting expedition, where two elephants were shot and a large number of I lesser game. His royal highness then returned to attend a ball in the dockyard at Simon's Town, on Sept. 20. Mr. J. S. Moffatt, an African missionary, and the brother-in-law of Dr. Livingstone, had pub lished a letter, giving strong reasons for hoping that the latter was still alive. Mr. Moffatt states that a report had been received at Zanzibar of Livingstone's passage through a district more re mote than the place where he was said to have been killed. An unusual spread of fever had taken place in Cape Town, and occasioned much anxiety. There had been a large number of fatal cases, principally among the poorer population, but several persons among the wealthier classes had also succumbed. The Basuto war was proceeding. There had been some severe fighting. Another ecclesiastical dispute had occurred. The Revs. Messrs. Walter and Crompton had tried to prevent Bishop Colenso from officiating in Pine Town church but had failed. The Dutch Quinquennial Synod was to be opened on October 8, when important discussions on the relation of the Dutch church with the state and on its church discipline were expected to occupy a large portion of the session. AMERICA. The Cunard steamship City of Boston arrived at Queenstown at 6.30 a.m. to-day (October 22), with 27 cabin passengers, and 1,500/. in specie. She landed the mails, passengers, and telegrams, and proceeded for Liverpool at 6.55 a.m. All well. NEW YORK, Ot 12, MORNING. Later, although still incomplete returns, indi cate that Mr. Hayes (Republican) has been elected Governor of Ohio by a small majority. The demo crats have a majority in the State Legislature, and the majority against the negro suffrage amendment is estimated at 38,000. The military authorities at Richmond have re fused to allow the Confederate General Imboden to register as a voter under the President's amnesty proclamation. The case has been referred to General Schofield. The Federal Courts at Louisville have declared the Civil Rights Bill to be constitutional. Mr. Brownlow has been inaugurated governor of Tennessee.

THE BLOOMSBURY MURDER. ADJOURNED INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning at half-past 10 o'clock Dr. Dan hinter resumed the inquiry into the eiretuuttsnees ing to the death of Edwin McDonnell, a bandsman in the had Life Guards, who died in University College Hospital from the effects of • wound inflicted with a revolver by • supposed Fenian in Bloomsbury, on the morning of the nth ult. Mr. Poland appeared for the crown, and the ❑anted Groves was represented by Mr. Warner Sleigh. Superintendent Searle and Inspector Thumps, n were present on behalf of the police authorities. The coroner, in opening the proceedings, eat"e'•wd hii regret at the manner in which his inquiry clashed with that of the magistrate at Bow-street, and a hope that some legislative measure would be introduced to obviate ditticul• ties of that kind. William'Taurean examined—l live at No. 4, King-street, Grosvenor-square. lam • butcher. I recollect the night of Friday, the 27th of September. 1 wa at the Holborn Amphitheatre with my wife. I left about half-put 11, and went nearly to the Middle-row. I went into a couple of public-houses on the way. I drank a pint of beer at the find public-house, and a couple of pints at the second, and my wife had • glass of ale. I remained about an hour in the public-houses. After leaving them I had a word or two with my wife. I wantel to have a drop more to drink, and she refuse& I left her near the Bull and Anchor. She mine home about 2 o'clock in the morning, and said she had been looking for me. She also said she had seen some men quarrelling at the Bull and Anchor, and that two men came out of it. The Coroner—Have you seen in the papers what yen r wife laid! Witness—No, sir. I didn't trouble myself about the paper. My wife said she 'heard a report of firearms after leaving the Bull and Anchor, and that she beard the taller of the two men say be would shoot some one before he would go home that night. She also told him she heard the short man say " Come on Groves, 'tie time we wag gone." She heard the tall man say he wished he had fined again at.d shot the right one. The Coroner—When you heard this wonderful story of a murder committed in the streets of London what did you say to your wife? Witness—l said I wished he had shot her, as she had not come home. That remark was not seriously made. The Coroner—Had you any serious conversation Witness—She told me all the particulars in the morning, The Coroner—Did you consult as to what was to be done Witness—l said it had nothing to do with us, and urged her not to say anything about it. The Coroner—Suppose anyone shot you, would you not like to see the perpetrator of the outrage discovered ? Witness—l would, sir ; but I forbade toy wife to say anything about what she said she had seen. The Coroner—When did she speak about it again? Witness—On the 6th of October. The Coroner—What did she say? Witness—She said she had seen the short man at the corner of George-street, Oxford-street, and that while she was standing there two men came up and said to the short man, "Good morning Joe, Low is John getting on"' The short man replied, "True, they have got the poor fellow," or "the poor b—." She told me she would go and give information, and I suggested that she should wait till evening. She went to Scotland-yard in the even. ing, and I accompanied her. She entered the yard and I remained outside. When she came out she did not tell me what she had said, nor that she had only told a part of the story. She did not tell me she intended to write letters. By Mr. Poland—My wife's maiden name is Anna Maria Haley and not Anna-Maria Williams. I believe her mother was married twice. I married her in the name of Haley. I have never seen my wife's mother nor troubled myself about her. I had enough to do to mind myself. My wife's mother lived at Diu. She died a fortnight ago. My wife went to Portfield, near Chichester, to my friends on the Thursday before the murder, and came back on Friday. She went to see if my mother had apartments for us diet. Mg the winter, as I was out of employment. My mother is badly off, but I thought that if I went to my native place I would get employment. 31y wife and I went to Portfield on the Sunday. We paid 7s. for two excursion tickets. My wife did not oome beak the same day. It is not true that my wife and I did go home to. gather or that we were quarrelling at the door. I saw the account of the murder iu Lloyd's paper on Sunday, Oct. 6. I made • mistake in saying that it waft on Oct. 6 my wife Lew the short dark man at the corner of George. street—it was on Tuesday, Oct. 8. That letter (produced) is in my wife's handwriting. I did not see her write it. The statement in it that my wife was leaving town on the Saturday morning is not correct. By Mr. Sleigh—During the last five years I have not been out of employment quite so long as two years. I did not know anything of the reward until nearly a fortnight after the murder. I saw in Lloyd's paper, on the 6th of October, something about 100/. reward havingbeeu offered. Lloyd's is the first paper in which I saw anything relating to the murder. On the night of the murder we went towards Middle-row, because we had some time to spare. We were celebrating my birthday. Mr. Sleigh—Did your wife tell you ou the Tueeday that she heard the dark man say he would shoot anybody he saw in the witness box ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Sleigh—Why did you not say so in the earlier part of your evidence ? Witness-1 forgot it. Mr. Sleigh—Why did you tell your wife not to tell what she knew ? Witueas—l didn't want to be annoyed or to be bothered at home. Mr Sleigh—Do you think you are right in contultitur your own convenience rather than aid in discovering a murder ? Witness—l think so. The Coroner—Do you mean to say that an Englishman a right in consulting his own convenierme rather than put him vrlf to inconvenience in discovering a murder? Witneas—No sir. By the Foreman—/ pawned my clothes to got half a sovereign, which I gave m wife to go to Portheld. We paid 4s. fur admission to t he Holborn Amphitheatre. I The Foreman—And you out of work and hard up for money at the time! Witness—But it was my birthday. sir. Anna Maria Janman, the wife of the last witness, was re-sworn and examined by Mr. Poland. Mr. Poland—Did you ever charge a corporal of the lith Regiment named Hayes, with committing a rape upon you! Witness—That has nothing to do with the case.Wl shan't answer that question. I am not going to be dis graced in this way. What I did before 1 married ought not to be brought out here. Mr. Poland —Was not the charge against Hayes dismissed by the magistrate! Witness (excitedlyl—l know nothing about it. I am a married woman, and I think the best thin; I can do is not to come here or to any other court again on this ease. Mr. Poland—Did you charge a police-coustable at Land. port with indecently assaulting you! The witness answered iu the negative, and threatened to refuse to answer any further questions if her antecedents were inquired into. [Her examination was proceeding when our report left.] A Berlin journal publishes the foll.ming telegram relative to the motion of M, Manckeubourg, abolishing imprisonment for debt, which was r,loptol by the Reich stag :—" Vienna, 13th.—Cordial congritalations on your approaching liberation. Long live the Reichstag ! Lang live Blanckenbourg !—The Prisoners f,ir Debt of Vienna." The subjoined reply was sent : —" 13th.—To the Prisoners for Debt at Vienna.—Sincere thanks fur your meg, atulations, brother Germans ! Long live the De puty Blanekenhourg ! The Reichstag for ever ! May the hour of liberty gottt.d for you as speedily as we expect it for ns. Hurrah for liberty !—ln the Dame of the Pri soners for Debt at Berlin." Tile UNIVERSITY BOAT R Att.—Mr. W. a. Griffiths, late president of the Cambridge University Boat Club, replies to Mr. Skey, that the crew : , re perfectly able to row back after the race, and that he has never known or heard of an instance of a man fainting or being unable to speak or to rise from his seat. "The result of perfect training is that after a few minutes' red you are ah/e to undergo great exertion again without injury or weariness. This is particularly exemplified at Htuley, where some men row three and four races a day. I, myself, rowed three races on the same afternoon at Henley one year, and I was just as ready to row each race as if I had not rowed previously. Mr. Skey lays great stress on into retiring to their rooms after races at Henley. Naturally when a man is required to row two or three races on the mine after noon he rests between each race and k.vps as quiet as possible. I know but one instance of a man being injured by rowing in the university crew, and this was from this trainer of the crew keeping to the antique and exploded rules of training, and neglecting common sense principles and precautions." More harm. Sir. Grblitlis thinks, arum from men rowing " untrained" in short races than from men rowing long and severe races while in good condition. )METROPOLITAN FAZE HOSPITAL, DITONEILLAA• AWARE, CITT.—The aggregate number of =ate relieved during the week ending Oct. 19 was—Me dical, 907 ; gical, 650 ; total, 1,557 ; of which 695 were new mass. restenlay, Increased I from the mum pre,- ' high le ~_
