- - THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. - By the arrival of the above mails we have ad vice. from Bombay to April 11 ; Madras, April 6 ; Calcutta, April 6 ; Ceylon , April ; Hong Kong, March 25, &c. INDIA. A number of the leading European and native gentlemen of Bombay attended at Government house, Malabar Point, at the invitation of his Excellency the Governor, on the 7th April, to consider the practicability of holding an Exhibition on a large scale in Bombay next year. The Governor said that there were three ques tions which he was desirous of submitting : the first was as to whether the present was a proper time to get up an exhibition of works of art and industry, and if so, when it should take place. After some consideration it was re solved that the Exhibition should take place in January, 1869. With regard to the funds necessary for carrying out the project, the Governor said that he felt confident that the Secretary of State would grant a sum to meet the preliminary expenses, and that the admission fees would cover the remaining expenditure ; but inasmuch as it would be advisable to provide against any possible deficiency, he sug gested that a number of gentlemen should guarantee a certain amount, for which in the event of loss they would each be liable pro rata. In order to take the financial question into consideration a committee of European and native gentlemen was appointed, who were to report on a future day as to the funds that would be required and who would be the guarantors. It is now stated that the engagement with the Bazootees near Kohat terminated in their being completely defeated, and that they suffered a heavy loss in killed and wounded. Some addi tional punishment seems to be contemplated; at present they are quiet. A petition to parliament praying that the order for the enhanced rates of Indian postage may be rescinded is to be presented on behalf of the Ma dras Chamber of Commerce. Letters from Dr. Livingstone up to the 2nd March, 1867, from Bembo, N. W. of Lake Nyassa, are published in the Bombay papers. A traveller, supposed to be the doctor, is reported to have been seen at Lake Tanganyika in October or Novecmber. CHINA. The Orerland China Mail says that the rebels are xithin 50 miles of Tientsin, and are said to have gained important victories over the imperialists. The ports are open (it adds), but business is per fectly paralysed, opium and shirtings being cheaper in Tientain than in Shanghai. The Tientsin authorities have enrolled a considerable number of militia, and put the ramparts in a state of defence. The foreigners have also formed themselves into a defence corps, to aid the British gunboat Dove in protecting foreign lives. The rebels consist of three different factions, which have united : Tae pings, from Hunan ; Nien-fei, from Shantung ; and Mahommedans, from Shansi. A strong body of imperial troops has been sent out against them." JAPAN. THE MURDER OF FRENCH SEAMEN. The following letter from a correspondent at 'Logo, dated 11th March, gives details of the murder of a boat's crew from the French man of war Duplcix : You will be very sorry to learn that a fearful tragedy has been enacted six miles from Osaka, in the bay. A boat's crew from the Ilupleix was sent to wait for the French consul and the captain, who were expected over land, but they were stopped by some fellows and told they could not pass, so rather than run any risk they turned back. In the meantime the boat had been waiting for them some two hours, and the men were lounging about on the beach unarmed, when all of a sudden some Japanese (about 200 in number) opened fire on them, shot then, down as you would shoot pigeons, lading several, and taking the wounded prisoners and putting them to death. The French authorities re covered eleven liedies, and I attended the funeral of the poor fellows this afternoon. The midshipman, who was killed, was the only one who had a revolver, and be fired off all the barrels before ho was killed. All the ministers and residents, leo., attended the funeral, also officers from the different men•of•war, and the band of the Ocean. The captain of the Dupleix made an oration over the poor fellows' graves (there was no plied) ; he was very much excited, and told the Frenchmen to look on the graves of their ship-mates and countrymen who had been foully assassinated, murdered in cold blood, that their deaths must be revenged, or they were all cowardsand not French men. The minister, Leon Roche, spoke next ;be was so cut up that he could hardly speak, and the tears choked him, in fact all the sailors present were shedding tears. He told them to have confidence in their officers and minister, and he solemnly swore over the bodies of his murdered countrymen, in the name of France and the emperor, that they should be bitterly revenged. It was a most sad scene, and even the most thoughtless were much affected. There are several more men severely wounded, and, I think, two officers, •bo hap pened to be near in another boat. The Japanese authori ties admit themselves than it was a cold-blooded murder, and that there was no excuse or provocation for it. They offer to make all amends in their power. All seems quiet again now at Hiogo. The C'hi Aft Vail says that the receipt of this news caused great excitement at Nagasaki, where 11.1. M. S. Forfait kept up steam, with the inten tion of preventing any Japanese vessels from leaving the harbour. Foreigners after dark objected to leaving their houses, and even in the daytime went about armed and in parties. From Yokohama papers we learn that the officer of the Prince of Bizen, whose retainers came into collision with the foreigners at Kob4S, was executed on the 2nd March, in the presence of a member of each foreign legation. The unfortunate man was allowed to commit harikaru first, and was then decapitated. The Custom-house at Hiogo has been officially notified as re-opened for the transaction of busi ness, but it is said that the United States Cone•il has stated his intention of not recognising its existence, until satisfactory assurances are made that the new government will carry the treaties into effect. PRIVATE LETTER FROM DR. LIVINGSTONE. —We have been favoured with the following extract from a pri vate letter from Dr. Livingstone to a gentleman in Bom bay. It is dated March 2, 1867, and was written at Bembo :—" I have been unable to send anything to the coast since I left it till now, and have heard nothing from the ooast. . . . . . We h ave been very long in our . . s hither, but I think we are now on the witershed progress hither, but I tbiuk we ate now on the wtrshe4 between the Zambesi and Isapula, which flows, as report says, into Lake Tangent/ca. I have only nine of a following, but hope to get on in time, and do what I have under taken. In some ports we had plenty of meat ;• I could easily supply the pot with my rifle. In other parte nothing could be procured, and we had to go on as best we could. It was the rainy season, and we bad a long trudge through dripping forests, with the soil often so sloppy the feet were constantly wet. This was made worse by want of food, not of fine dishes, but of even a little porridge. The people could not sell grain; they were subsisting themselves on mushrooms, which are very good as catsup, but wretched watery food, producing vivid visions of the roast beef of bygone days. Now we have come to a land where food is to be bought, and we mean to rest a little. When we get to Tanganika Lake we hope for news, and to find a second supply of goods. I shall write to you from thence. Tell that his dog turned out a famous one, and I was never so sorry for any animal as when we lately lost him. He had more spirit than fifty country dogs, and as soon as we got a hut in a village he kept it clear of all curs, and never stole himself. Ht was as much of an attraction as the white man himself. He took chargeof the whole line of march, and was so spirited he went at anything. This is how wo lost him : we had to wade a marsh a mile wide and waist deep--a peaty bottom with holes made by buffa loes' feet, which made us all flounder. I went first and forgot the poor doggie. His must have swam among the boys, each one minding himself till be was drowned • no one noticed him. lam unable to write to Dr. Wilson, though I ought to do so, but the slave trader will not give me more time. I consumed Mrs. extract of meat from real gnawing hunger, and found it exeellent. I have lost all my medicines—the sorest loss of goods I ever sus tained. You will excuse my brevity. The slavery party leaves, and I must write several letters. Blessings from the Highest be cat you all, my dear friends.—DaviD vnianroms."—Tistes of hulk, April 11. SHOCKING Occusnancs.—A shocking cue murder and suicide is reported at Sherburn, near Durham. An officer of the Durham county conatabulary, named Paton, was brought before his superiors in the force on PridAy, sad some evidence was given against him by another constable named Cruikalsank, which would pro bably have led to his dismissal. As they were returning home together Paton shot Oruikehank dead with a re volver, and then shot himself, inflicting such injuries that he trios died. _ _ Grey hair restored to ita original colour by Bewines Mammale Brash and Comb.

LIPSON& - Row (who won all his four matches), Fordham, and the Hammes:4r have awns out the lions of the Guineas' week at Newmarket, and the manner in which the three daughters of the now famous sire distinguished themselves, coupled with the reputa tion borne by Paul Jones, has raised quite a well among breeders that he should be lost to this country. Brigan tine opened the ball by giving the Ring • steadier, having so mush in hand with Poleaxe% brother (second to Curti's. at Northampton) that she could afford to swerve a long way out of the straight path and win in the com monest canter at lass, thus dh her " walking in " for the Plate on Wednesday it might well be set down she is the best two-year-old we have had out as yet. One of her sisters also beat a large field easily, it being some relief to the followers of Formosa when her commander, after sail ing so long under colours the sharpest eyes could not quite make out, hoisted the black flag on Monday, and swore they should auk the Two Thousand Guineas. It weal a very narrow squeak, however, after all, for the filly only half won, and her crew were not bold enough to fight for the other half —or, rather, they were lucky enough to get • division of the Makes agreed upon, a proceeding for which no one could blame them, with the One Thousand • two days o ff . As • matter of course, the partisans of both Moslem and Formosa think they ought to have won, though the two great rival jockeys, Challoner and Fordham, never rode a finer finish against each other, and had either owner thought a better result could have come about we should have had no compromise. It is only reasonable to assume a different animal to St. Ronan could have been third, particularly as Rosicrucian was within a length of him without being persevered with for the last 200 yards, and that Green Sleeve, beaten half a length only for the place money, was stopped two or three strides from the ehair. Pace, too had been " disappointed," but more from a lack of pace, I imagine, than any other cause, neither he nor Harvester being up to the standard of this season's three year-old cracks, whatever thh big inn may have done last year. Le Surazin ran true to his old moderate forte, too much noise being made, as I euarected, for him to be a really French good thing • and the same may be mid of Banditto, Chelsea, and King Alfred. But not so Moslem, St. !tenon, Vale Royal, and Ironnnuiter, for the two last named helped Sunstroke to form the rearguard after going little more than half a mile, being tailed off at the finish, whilst Moslem ran about 141 b and St. Ronan 101 b better than ever,compared only with Formosa. Lord Stamford was so dissatisfied with his oolt's performance that he ran him for the same R. IL Plate as Julius so distinguished him self in against Lord Lyon last First Spring Meeting, with a stable boy in the saddle, and his lordship had little to be pleased with, beyond the certainty that be had made no mistake, when he ran home at least fifty yards in front of Hippie, Lanaret, Lc. The last-named may not have been up to the mark, for he was so clearly out of it at the bushes that Fordham stopped him • but Hippie had won • handicap in tine style the day before, carrying flat Olb, and Vale Royal gave her a beating the 261 b she was carrying extra for the year was only about equivalent to. It is tube regretted now that he is not in the Derby, for there is a sad want of good performers therein, Formosa never baring been nominated, and the death of the late Marquis of Exeter disqualifying Moslem. After St. lionan's easy defeat by Suffolk, in fact, we may consider the fleet fear in the Two Thousand have nothing to do with the Derby, unless Green Sleeve should recover her form like a Blink Bonny. It is impossible to feel surprised at anything dose by Baron Rothschild's horses; still, those who saw Suffolk beaten, first by The Earl and Blue Gown, next by Lanaret, and finally by Knight of the Garter, within the previous fortnight, could not but be taken shack at the easy style in which he beat the third for the Two Thousand, par ticularly as Lozenge had somehow beaten Tho Knight the day previously. According to these doings Blue Gown could have won the great race to a certainty had he been wanted, in preference to Green Sleeve. Uncas gave King Alfred 41b so easily that he, too, might have done the trick had he been in ; but I may say at once that I do not believe in the correctness of either Knight of the Gar ter's or Lanarot s defeat last week, whilst The Saint was very sore when Suffolk beet him, owing to his severe efforts to secure the " place " money the day before. Blue Gown did two good performances on his own account, beating Natieti, St. Angela, and Leonia easier than he could have done last year, though only over a T.Y.C., the events that were to try whether he could stay just a little going off without a race. Thematohinwhich he was togive St. Ronan 101 b, over the Two Thousand course, was void altogether, and the Earl party agreed to divide the New market Stakes with him, not caring to expose their Derby second striug,who has recently come with a rattle again in the market, looking so well that it is impossible to over look his great chance, whatever they may say of Lady Elizabeth. This filly's prestige is not much improved by the past week's doings, for Formosa, her equal in the Middle Park Plate, simply ran to her last year's form in the One Thousand, giving Lady Coventry about the 101 b beating she was entitled to, and doing no more with Athena than waste be expected over a mile, whilst Virtue was evidently not herself. However, the Lady must, with health, remain a favourite when Sir Joseph Hawley's " lot," Speculum, Toni Bowline, The Earl, Orion, Paul Jones, Uncas, St. Ronan, Mer cury, and the beat of Baron Rothschild's, see the cream of her opponents. The remaining "incidents" of the meeting are easily disposed of, as the three-mile sweepstakes simply disposed of both winner and loser, Owain Glyndwr and Veridis, for the Chester Cup, and the only other four-year-old race of any amount was the Julius and Hermit match. This was scarcely a fair cri terion of the relative merits of the two horses, for just as the Derby winner appeared like answering Custance's call, to the advantage of his many backers, he sudden] stopped, and it is supposed he again ruptured • small blood-vessel, as his mouth was half full of blood when he stopped. The best " line" obtained by four-year-olds was in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, as Silenus and The l'almer ran some 28lb better than KingaLuid, and if Spe culum can beat the first-named as easily as is asserted, Sir Joseph must try his horses very highly to outshine him. At Chester we are to be shown another Speculum, ac cording to report, Paul Jones having been so highly tried with the speedy Orion and the glutton Mariner as to make his party invest thousands on him for the Derby. It is singular that he once nearly touched the price (fi to -ft) I mentioned a week ago he might be brought to when the news of the trial got wind, and just now the betting appears spoiled by the formidable front he presents ; how ever, should the Daemons come out boldly with Mr. John stones Priest, Minster Bell, or Mercury, or Mr. Blackenzie's Landscape, he may be steadied a trifle, and there are other cliques only biding their time, perhaps, before they send money into the market. Strathconan, Daley's mount, is scarcely likely to " come," gat 121 b being rather too much for him, though a continuance of hard ground will serve him amazingly ; and Dalby has a very different weight to that he carried hitherto, the statement that be was " beaten in his trial," helping to prove the correctness of his Liverpool Autumn Cup running, and hence that Caith ness holds him safe. The latter is in the lucky Formosa interest, and as they have Stradbroke also, with per haps another, to help them haul over the favou rite, there is no saying what they might not do, for if the giant looks out of it on paper, the little gelding looks better in than anything, having run well both at three and four years old. Abergeldie carries some of his owner's money, notwithstanding he has never been tried to stay—a qualification he need only possess for his chance to be nearly Al. War has been easily beaten in • spin with Westwick, whose Great Northern prospects, by the way, are excellent, as he beat Viscount so far also as to put J. Scott quite out of court for this event. Grey Stocking has been up and down in the market, like Bracken, Seville, and Treasure Trove, all these three being under suspicion now, notwithstanding the many thousands they have been • backed to win lately. What else is to run of the elder horses beyond Goodwood and /fasten will be difficult to determine till the last moment, and there cannot be many in the background, the recent doings of Knight of the Garter, Thalia, the Attack colt, and Beanstalk dis pe lling any hopes that might ever have been indulged in of them, and neither Stokely nor Palisade being class enough. Nelaton is whispered to be one of Findon's good things, and sonic of Godding's fol lowers prefer Goodwood to Beauty, great anxiety being manifested to get on for a " place." Nevertheless, this is only a sign that the field will be a small one, Beauty decidedly having greater charms for me, so far as getting the first place is concerned. But even she and Butler must fail to beet PAUL JONIS and Kenyon, unless the Telscombe party are about a stone out of their reckoning, and my opinion is, that the backers of the crack have most to fear from the Caithness and Landscape " parties." Cannon may ride the old hone if be is the Simon Pure of the Formosa stable. The minor races at Chester coming off before the Cup are not of great importance, and I can soon dispose of Tuesday's programme, comprised in which are two un closed stakes and a claiming race, with four handi caps and the Mostyn. The latter is a mystery at prompt, and my selections for the other events are : Eaton Plate, Sir Oliver, Curfew Bell, and Cation ; Welter Cup, Kidderminster or Rabbit Trap ; Chesterfield, Black lock ; and Wynwrtay, Weather Isle or Goojerist. The re sults of these will seriously interfere with Wednesday's small fry ; but I must have Dick Turpin on my side for the Dee Stand Cup, though Hammerton does get 29th from him • and there is Badsworth to plump for in the Great Chester Produce Stakes. The program mes for Thursday and Friday shall be discussed later in the week, and I might have a word or two more to say about the Charter Cup on the eve of the of race.—l am, &c. METEOR. MUM TATTERSALL'S —Sera aver. The bneinem of settling and comparing. which had been arm menced at the clubs, we. emithmed here, and wa g ring on future events was, generally speaking, very tame. For t h e Cluster Cup, however, Taw Jones was heavily supported. at 5 to 2, 250 to 100 and 500 to 200 being accepted four or Or. those, but these odds were always procurable, and the last offer raids was 600 to 200 on the held.

Nearly the whole of the morning was devoted tosetiling, which, as may be supposed, was of a very heavy character. The little speculation that did take place was almost devoid of feature, the quotations oa the various events being much the same as before. Yor the Chester Cup eto 2 wts snapped at about Paul Jones wherever It could be obtained, and subsequently 9 to 4 was Wren , the otherherses mentioned were supported for small sum only. Speculation on the Great Northern Handicap was of a very limited description, but of the horses mentioned Fortunlo and blinkhoolle were in most request.

SAMNA CALLID Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Middleton, and Mr. IClntre, foe the petitioner ; Mt. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Lord, for the respondent. This was • suit of some novelty and importance. It was a petition presented by Mr. &rows, the guardian of • lad named Holmes, foe a declaration of nullity, on the ground of false declarations made to the registrar of marriages, and the proceeding was taken in obedience to an order of the Court of Chancery, of which the petitioner was • ward. It has already been decided that a misdescription with a view to deceive a surrogate is not fatal to a mar riage, but that in the ease of a wedding by banns the des sription must be full and accurate. Thus, where • young lady, named Margaret Leo Bevan, had contracted • mar riage with a 'bus conductor upon a license wherein she was described se "Margaret Bevan" only, and with • false address, the court, though there had been no cohabitation, held her to her bargain • whereas in a ease where • young man named Bower WoOd bad ha d his banns published as "John Wood," the court, though there b:d been co habitation, annulled the marriage. But the cu (of marriage upon a false notice to a registrar had never before arisen. The petitioner, Frederick Cyril Robins Holmes, was born on the 27th of June, 1851. Hie father died in 1859, and his mother married a Mr. 11Lontell ; but both had gnu deceased. Soon after Christmas, 1865, Laura. Emma Harris Simmons was engaged by Mrs. Mantel] as nursery governess at a salary of 146. a year. The petitioner was at school, but he had two brothers and a sister younger than himself. Soon after this he came home, and speedily grew very fond of Laura, who used to put him to bed like the other children. When his mother died the attachment in creamed, and he proposed marriage to the respondent. On the 19th of November they were accordingly wedded at the registrar's o ffi ce in Oxford. The marriage was kept secret for about ten days, and then Mr. Scroggs, who was ap pointed guardian in the following month, hearing of what bad occurred taxed them with it. They con foamed what they bad done, and he gave them a severe scolding; but he could not then otherwise interfere, and they lived openly as man and wife till the 16th of Decem ber, when they were commanded by the Court of Chancery to separate. £he notice to the registrar was full of false hoods. It stated that they were of the ages of 19 and 21, whereas the bridegroom was much younger and the wife mull older. It was stated that the one lived in Jericho, at Oxford, and the other in Holy well, whereas both had never lived anywhere except at ICidlington ; and lastly, their names wore given simply as Frederick and Laura. Evidence of these facts was produced, and to show that the petitioner's full name must have been known to the respondent, a map which he had executed at school, and signed " F. Cyril Holmes," the family Bible, and his own Church Service, in which his names were set out, and an old handkerchief marked with all his initials, were put in. On the other band, cheques which Mr. Scraggs had given to the respondent, and which she had endorsed " L. Simmons," wore produced. Mr. Coleridge contended that a marriage at a registrar's office must be regarded as in the same category as one by banns. In the case of licenses the law threw the whole responsibility upon the church, and therefore refused to nullify any marriage so solemnised if it could be shown that there was a constat de persona—in other words, that the license had really been obtained for the persons who were married upon it. On the other hand, the object of banns was to give notice to the public, and that notice must be accurate, or it was nothing. In fact a marriage had been declared null where the real name of one of the parties had been used, but where it was a name by which that party had not been generally known. The Act of 19 and 20 Vic., cap. 119. which substituted for banns a noticestuck upin•registrar's office, where of count. nobody would ever think of going to look for it, might very pro perly (have been called `An Act to render safe clan destine Mamages ; "but surely such small and absurd pre. cautions as it did take ought to be rigidly enforced. Mr. Denman, on the other hand, contended that the marriage was valid. It was true that all their names were not given, but the parties were known as Frederick Holmes and Laura Simmons by all their friends, and the notice had therefore been sufficient to identify them, as they never passed by any other names. The Mar riage Acts expressly declared that marriages should not be declared void by reason of the parties not residing within the district, consequently that mis-statement in the notice was immaterial ; and the ages were of no importance so long as it was truly slated that the plaintiff was under ate, and that he had no parent or guardian to prevent hum from contracting any marriage he pleased. The court reserved its judgment. 6 9 8 0 6 0 .e o THE POLICE COURT& CLERICENWELL. John Smith, a rough, powerful-looking yo rag man, de scribed as a sweep, residing at No. 27, Queen-street, Islington, wee charged before Mr. Barker with violently assaulting Mrs. Jemima Just, and stealing from her per son a gold watch and chain, of the value of 171., at Mouton-road, on the 17th ult. Mrs. Just said—l am the wife of Leonard Just, and re side at No. 40, Halliford-road, Islington. About • quarter-past 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, the 17th tilt, I was returning home from a walk ; and when at the corner of the Morton-road and Rotherfield-street I saw four rough-looking men, of whom the prisoner is one, loitering there. That is about 300 yards from my resi dence. One of the four men I have mentioned jumped on me, held me tightly by the neck (taking me by the neck sideways), when the prisoner seized hold of my watch chain, pulled my watch and chain clean away, and then ran off. Until the prisoner had got away I was held, and then his companions ran off. I was squeezed so violently round the neck that I was very much hurt, though I bad no mark on my throat. At the time I was held round the throat I felt a choking sensation, and that feeling continued the whole of the evening. When they loosened their hold on my 'throe, and ran away, I screamed " Murder " and " Thieves " as well as I could. A number of persons oame to my assistance, but it was not until a quarter to five that I saw a police-constable. I saw the prisoner again on the following Monday standing outside the Half Moon public-house, Essex-road, but when I found a constable he had gone. I have again seen him once near the spot. lam perfectlysure that the prisoner is the man that stole my watch and chain, end I picked him out from nine or ten others in a room at the police- I station last night. My watch and chain, which ere of the value of 171., have not been recovered. Police-constable Newbold, 151 N, said—l went up the Essex-road last evening, about a quarter past eight, and saw the prisoner standing outside the Bed Lion public-house. I told him I should take him into custody for being concerned with others not in custody in stealing • gold watch and chain from • lad yesterday fortnight. He said, " Not me ; I was at work at the time for Mr. Myers, the sweep, in Elliott'e-pisse." I took the prisoner to the police-station and fetched the lady ; and the prisoner was placed in the library at the police-station with six or seven other men, and the lady then went and pointed him out, saying, " That is the man that stole my watch." She had no hesitation in the matter, and went straight to him and pointed him out. The prisoner, in &newer to the charge, said—l was at work at the time that was done, and I have witnesses that can prove it, but they are not now in attendance. Mr. Barker committed the primmer to the Central Criminal Court for trial, and refused to allow bail ALLRYLKII3ON& William' Jackson, house agent, 90 Mount-street, Gros venor-square, was charged with obtaining • carriage, valued at 15W., and also • sum of 3501. from Mrs. Christina Fan-men, 63, Prince's-gate, Kensington, by means of false and fraudulent pretences. Mrs. Airman, an elderly lady, • widow, said ahe em- ployed the prisoner to dispose of • carriage for her. The carriage cost 1701., and the prisoner said he knew • gentle man in Grosvenor-square who had an organ for sale worth 5001., and he would take the • at 1501, if she would give 3501. more. She declined en ring into the specula tion, but the prisoner said he could obtain 5001. or SOW for it, and subsequently 'hewed tier a letter from Poole, offering 5001. for the organ if put into repair. Upon this the gave him a cheque for 3501., and the carriage was sent for. She afterwards discovered that the organ belonged to Jackson himself, and that it had been purchased by I him for 101 . at • sale. The gentleman at PooU afterwards declined to purchase, so she had lost her carriage and the 3501. She heard that the carriage had been sold by Jackson for 201. She had been offered 401. for it by a aoschbuilder. The witness said she had sold • house through Jackson, and had realised • profit by the transaction. Mr. Imam, organ buildee, said the organ would seat 851. to put into repair and it might lien be worth 1501. It was at ppresent at his factory.

In the Minas of Friday night Mr,. Nunn partly meowed eseasektuatess, and she was able to may soresething to the effort that two boys had done it, and this statement was partly borne out by the feat that two boys distant relations of Mrs. Nunn, were seen in the court by a little boy, the ton of • Mr. Hammond, who resides in a home opposite to No. 2. These boys, whose I names are Arthur Forresier Smith. aged 15, and Hector Augustus Smith, aged 13, absconded from their parents' home on the evening of Good Frid taking with them 41. belonging to their father, and on Fr iday evening last the boy Hammond saw them go downthe basement stet:sof No. 2, Oatherine-court. The cap found on the premises was afterwards identified as one which bad been bought on the 21st of April from Kr. Davis, batter, Hieg's-road, Okeless, who states that on that day three boys drove to his shop in • cab, that one of them purchased the cap for 2s. 6d., and that they afterwards told the cabman to drive to Hampstead-heath. On Saturday forma, ffir, Geri, tho osiotoild - .11 so lila Lord ifq6P, went to Guy's Hos pital to take th e deposition of the dying woman, but he could not get any satisfactory statement, as she was scarcely able to articulate. In the meantime Superinten dent Boller, Inspector Bailey, of the detective depart ment, Inspector Tillie*, and detective sergeant Moss, were actively engaged in endeavouring to capture the boys, and tab were sent to all the police stations and to the seaport towns containing their description and offering a reward of 201. for their apprehension. Negatives of • carte de elute of the elder boy, taken about • year so, were also distributed, and officers belonging to the City police were yesterday sent all over London to places where there was any probability of their being seen or heard of, including the parks and places of recrea- Hoe. These exertion, were not fruitless, u the boys were apprehended about one o'clock yesterday by Defective Sergeants Moss and Hayden in Deacon's coffee-house, in the Strand. In reply to the officers the boys said their name was Smith. They were then charged with having committed the murderous assault on Mrs. Nunn, and they acknowledged that they did it, and said they were tempted, but did not know what tempted them. They also stated that they were is her bedroom, and that she found them there and began to scream. Had she not done that, they said they would not have thought of striking her. They likewise admitted that they had been there before and taken the bank-notes of which Mr. Beerbohm had been robbed. They had evidently washed the blood off their clothes, although some stains still re mained ; and they told the officers that no one was with them when they committed the assault. They had in their possession a pistol, a quantity of permeation cape, two powder flasks, two pairs of boxing gloves soros foils, and • small monist of money. Is appears that they have been staying in the coffee-house setae they absconded from home, aid that it was a son of the co ff ee-house keeper who itiompanied them when they purchased the cap at Mr. Davis's. At half-part two o'clock yesterday, Mrs. Nunn having recovered consciousness, the Lord Mayor and Mr. Oke, the chief clerk at the Mansion-honse, attended at the hospital take her deposition. Shortly after their arrival the Lord Mayor was informed that the boys had been arrested, and in accordance with his directions they were taken to the bedside of the dying woman by Superintendent Foster, and identified be her as her assailants. It may be mentioned that on the 13th of July last fear, the prisoners were found concealed in the same cellar rom which the mallet had been taken on the present oc casion. They were then taken to the police-station, and, their parenta having been communicated with, they were given up. Their father is a custom-house officer, resid ing at Albion-place, Old Ford-street, 011 Ford, and it appears that he is a brother to a son - in-law of Mrs. Nunn, living in Castle-street, Holborn. The boys were yesterday, in the first instance, taken to Seething-lane police station, and afterwards to the lock up at Bishopegate, and they will be brought up to-day at the justice room of the Mansion-house for examination be fore the Lord Mayor. TOE MURDER OF A STATION MASTER On Saturday morning, Thomas Wells, a porter in the employ of the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company, was placed at the bar of the Town-ball, Dover, before Mr. Churchward, thefmayor, and a full bench of magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of Mr. Edward Arthur Walsh, the superintendent of the Priory station of that railway. Mr. Minter, solicitor, appeared for the prisoner ; William Cleather, soli citor to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany, conducted the prosecution. The prisoner, a strong-built young fellow of florid com plexion, listened to the evidence without saying a word or moving a muscle but it was easy to see that he felt the full gravity of his situation. The prisoner was remanded. The inquest was held in the afternoon. The evidence was chiefly a repetition of that given before the magis trates, but an additional witness was examined—Charles Sinclair, a boy 13 or 14 years of age, who maid—On Friday morning I wire at the Priory station, and I saw Wells there. I heard him say, " I will shoot the old —lf he says much more to me to-day." He said that about half past 6 o'clock in the morning. I had been at work in the station all night. I was present the day before when the station-master and Wells had a row, and I know that he meant the station-master when he said he would shoot the old —. The dispute was about firing off a pistol. I was the only person there when he made use of the threat. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Thomas Wells, MARKETS.

COTTON G00D9.-31•111CHI8TZIL, MAY 2.—Buyer, of cloth and yarn have steadily refused to follow the upward bias of cotton throughout the week, and we have consequently had a fiat and languid market. Of course spinners end manufac turers could make no alteration in their quotations, and re mained very arm ; bat there was a shown yesterday to meet buyers at a re auction of id. to d. per lb. in yarn, and in some kinds of home trade at id. below quoted rates. About ltd. to 3d. per piece was also conceded on cloths, Including shirtings and printers. There was, however, very little busi ness practiatble. This morning there has been rather more inquiry, but It has not led to baguet buyers offering ad. to Pd. I,er piece lower than sellers are wil to ac cep t. The offal all the week have been so low as to preclude business In cloths, , although warehouses are heavily supplied with stocks, which have been daily accumulating for weeks past. As a rule the holders of resale lota ore offering their cloth at about ad. per piece under the quotations of ma. nufacturers, and the continued existence of these resale lots in the market is one of its most discouraging 3,,,h fea tures, because there is but little of the brick and healthy loudness so long as they remain. N ths printers are accu mulating in stock, and may be at fully rd. per piece lower than on Tuesday. Madapollame have been more in= for within the last few days. Domestics, long data., T Meticans, and other heavy fabrics, are • shads earlier in price ,: without inducing mach demand. The home trade cloth houses have held aloof a good deal this week, finding that their orders from country thaws do not come in well, this class of trades men Muting the MA prices riding rather discoureging. The more encouraging telegrams to India do not lead to much im prevement for that quarter, the exports thither for some months past having been exam vet, heavy.

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON TRA DZ. —ThOtigh the mills and forges of the northern district are now generally well occupied, the tone and prospects of the iron tr.:a do not appear to be quite so promising as they were. It is general opinion that orders are not coming in with out . cient rapidity to replace those being worked off. Ship ments of railway iron are now heavy. For plate or tingle iron the demand is fairly maintained. l'ig iron is not quite so firm, the requirements of Lancashire and Stafford. shire being small just at present. Makers' stocks are not going down very rapidly. Prices are nominally un• changed, and are, No. 1, 475. Gd. ; No. 3, 434. 6d. ; No. 4, 42a. Gd. nett cash.
