Labe. of the meeting thought that whilst at the west end .-f Loudon and in various parts of the land retail houses were being earlier than they bad been on Saturday, thole in the city oiight not to be bsbindhand, and he wee happy to say that Mr. Harvey and himself had, in calling at some of the principal city houses. on Thursday last, found the heads of them genera, very favourably , l ,, posseil toward, the object of the meeting. After congratulating the meeting on the progress already made and contrasting it with the state of things twenty years ago, when nearly all the drapery shops were kept open till midnight on Saturday to the physical injury alike of the employed and of the employers, he entered into some general statistics bearing closely on the object of the meeting. At the commencement of the pre sent year, he said, the following establishments there,' at one, two, or at latest three o'clock : The Stock Exchange, Lloyd's, the Baltic Coffee-house, • large majority of the insurance companies, the General Po.tmflit-e in some ilejartments, the railway companies in certain .livisinns, the distiller', ninny of the brewers, the hop factors, the leather factor., several of the great printers, the wholesale fruiterer., the wholesale stationers, the wholesale booksellers, numerous merchants and brokers, with all the great warehousemen to the north and south of engaged in the Manchester, Bredford,Leeds, Coven try, Leieeste r, Nottiugh.'ne, and Scotch tildes. There were now to he melded the city and west end banks closing at three 0%104, and nearly fifteen hundred solicitors closing at two o'clock. Considerable progress had been made in the aloption of • Saturday half-holiday among the law courts. The county court offices were now closed at one on Satur days, the bankruptcy Mikes at two, the common law offices at three, and the equity chamber...anti ogler at fear. The issue of sueeessive orders, in common law and chancery, had directed that the service of pleadings shovid be made before two o'clock on Isituolay afternoons. The fol lowing firms in the ironmongery trade in the City were also closing at 2 o'clock on Saturdays :—The Carron t'ompany, Mes.r... W. Graham awl Sons, Mr. W. Crawshey, Messrs. It. W. Kennard and Co., the Rotherham Foundry Compaq, the General Foundry Company, the British Foundry t'ompany, Marna lll'Laren and Co., Messrs. Butnuel H..,1 mil Co., the Wearlale Iron Company, Messrs. F. A. Tillerruin and Co., Mr. James Allan, see., Mears. I'. 31 - KitiLty and Co. Likewise the leadite; West cal china and glass houses now closed at 2 o'clock; the leading w , villin..lnipers of the West-end, St. Martin's lane, Elgewale•road, IlLickfriars•roed, and Riahopagate stre-t, at three o'clock ; and the leading saddlers of the We-tawl at threeo - eliesk. Several of the ironmonger" also at the Westond were just about closing at four and five is'elock. The army clothiers and tailors at the West-end clowsl at four and five o'clock. Twenty one of the princiesil hair.dreseers at the West end had anominc-.1 that they intended to close at five and six o'eleek from the Ist of September next. The silk men-ers soil drys rs at the West.wid, together with some important houses at Chelsea and laluessin, and a very large niuider of houses in other businesses at the West. eel anal elsewhere, amounting in all, up to the preent time, to 150 tiros would close from Sep tember pelt at four and five o'clock. Side by side with thug, he added, the system of paying wages earlier in the week than Saturday was serrating ; nearly one thousand tins. were known to pay their workpeople under the imimivol system ; and the testimony of Arms who paid wagesiemly in the week was of the most satisfactory kind. There was, he mmarkesl, an important connexion between thus nosvenient sal the volunteer rifle ourpe. They moat s'.l feel that it was, most essential that this country should be • It-slimily &feuded against invasion, and that it was better for s.t iety that that object should be secured by memo of a volunteer force than by an addition to the regular army, which would Dectssitate the doubling of the income tax. (Hear.) Mr. 'limn HAITET, jun., moved the following resolution: "That this meeting regarding with pleasure earlier closing on Saturday, which is taking place in venous parts cf Lon don, considers it desirable that the retail houses of business should unite in the arrangements by closing in future not later than four o'clock on ttitordays, from Michaelmas to Lailyalay, and not later than Sve o'clock from Lady-day to Mialiselioaa."

Alf OPZ/f Alit AERVICN von WORKING )16.4.—01i Saturday evening the Bishop .4 Loudon preached in the open air to between 1,7 m x rei 1,1 . 010 working men and elaiLlren in one of the mint uncivi lised portions of the outskirts of the inetropolia. The place ecleviol for this mission service lies between Shepherd's bosh and the Great Western Railway, on the east of Worm. wood Scrubs. The people who lire around and about it are chiefly engagnl in the making of bricks and pottery ware, while it is dotted here and there with gipsy tents and the temporary habitations of persons who a l e not able to obtaio hater shelter elsewhere. In one of the fields immediately behind Cliftouetreet, in the Latimer-road, there is a hill, and from it it was announced the bishop would preach on Saturday evening. Many of the leading employers of labour in the neighbourhood, in compliance with the solicitations of the lucid clergy, paid their men early in the evening, and vast numbers of them not only attended the service, but took their wives and children with them. The bishop, who was attended by the Rev. F.(lell, his chaplain, arrived at halfinst seven o'clock, arid having selected the spot on which he would stand, re tired to a small tent close by and there put on his epiwa.l robe.. The proceedings commenced with the 100th Psalm, " With one consent let all the earth ;" a paper containing this and other hymns having been supplied to every person present by the Rev. W. L. Collett, the incumbent of the adjacent church of St. Stephen. Afterwards the Litany Service, oampyir.g shout twelve minutes, woe read by the Rev. A. D. Bolunnai, M.. 1., of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, the incumbent elect of a new church dedicated hi St. Andrew, which it is proposed to erect in the neighbourhood. The bishop selecteil for his text the li;th chapter of St. Luke's Gospel, nth very -" The children of this world are in their generatioo wiser than the children of light." The latter part el the hohop's *Janne was particularly 'solemn. Dark ness bad conic on, the isesm had risen, and all aromul the elsteats were lighted up. Not a mound was heani but • le boshop's voice, soil now and then a train on the adj acen t tawny. A deep impression appeared to b e ma d e on E °;.n uensed to such services , by the solemnity and *ty of the scene. At the close of the serv i ce th e logy was snug, and the bishop pmnounced the bene diction. The vast amembisge then dispersed. flog Branum—The member' of the English episcopal bench divide *menthe= 155,000/. a-year.

Carter, Esq., the Gamer far East Surrey, resumed, at the work bara 01 St. Mary, Newington, the adjoumed inquest la thin case. The inquiry, as on the previous occasion, excited a painful degree of excitement, and • consider able number of pentoos, chiefly women, teak up their pool. tame in front of the workhouse long before the time appointed for reopening the court. The Coroner having held a brief consultation with Inspector Dann as to certain Petters in the inspector's possession, the) court was reopened with the usual pro. clarnation made by Mr. Cooke, the summoning officer. Mr. Inspector James Dann, who was then sworn, deposed that in consequence of some information be re ceived on Tuesday last, he went to No. 16, Manor•place ; he there found three persons on the landing dead, and another one on the bed in the front room also dead. He saw • male per on in the room whom he took into custody. He was induced to do that from the general appearance of the place, and • statement which that person made. In that statement he said that his mother came to the aide of his bed, and having killed his brother who was sleep ing with him, she then made • thrust at him and he wrenched the knife from her hand, and thrust it at her in self defence, and he killed her, if the was dead. He told him that he should take him into custody on • charge of murdering the four persons, and he said " Very well." He took him to the station-house, where he was searched, and • key was found in his possession which locked • box in the room where he had horn sleeping. In that box he found a policy of wurance effected on the life of Mary Wells Streeter, dated 25th July last, which set forth that in the event of her death the money was to be paid to William Godfrey Youngman. The sum sawed on the life of the deceased was for 100 f., nod the office was the Argus in Throgrnortorestreet. (The policy was produced in court and read by the comfier.) Witness next proceeded to the house of the young woman's father at Wsdhnrst-hall, Susan, and received from him a number of letters ; one was dated the 31st of July, the day of the murder. A host of letters was handed in, but as they were only copies of the originals, the learned coroner suggested that the originals should be at once sent for. Mr. Dann said the originals had been kept for production in another court. The Coroner—But these cannot be received in evidence. You must fetch the originals. I can go on copying these ; but I must have the originals to be sworn to. The letters were then sent for. About 40 minutes having elapsed whilst the coroner was copying some of the letters, Mr. Inspector Dann said that he had • great number of other letters which he corld prove were in the handwriting of the socased ; one was of a very urgent character to induce Miss Streeter to insure her life. There were two letters, dated the 16th, having also reference to the insurance. Another contained a life insurance proposal for Miss Streeter to fill up, and was signed by Wm. Godfrey Youngman. Another letter, on the 16th, spoke about taking lalgings, a bedroom and sitting-room. Ano ther was without date, supposed to have been written on the 18th, also speaking about the insurance. That was sent from 16, Maniorplace, and signal by William Godfrey Younguran. Another letter, on the 19th, set forth that she was to bring all her letters and papers with her. Another letter of the 21st was signed by the accused, in which he ex pressed his regret that she should refuse to have her life insured. Another letter was sent by rail, and recommended that she should burn all the letters that be had sent. That letter was dated the 28th of July, and signed by the man who is in custody. Mr. Thomas Tanner said that he was a clerk at the Argos Life Insurance Office, an, Throgmorton-street. His private residence was in the Park-road, Peckham. He effected an insurance on the life of the young woman. She came to the offiee on the 24th of July to be examined, and was accom panied by • male person. The paper produced 1 , 1.1% filled in by the male person when he called at the office on the 19th of July. It was a proposal for an insurance of 1001., and was dated from 16, Manor-place, Walworth, Newington, Lon doe. The letters were handed to the witness, and he idea. tilled them, to the best of his opinion, as being in the handwriting of William Godfrey Youngman. He had been accustomed to receive and open letters, but the signature at the office was written very hurriedly, whilst the other appeared to have greater pains bestowed upon them. Mr. Streeter, the father, was called, and he said that teepee Mr. Dann a number of letters, which he took from his daughter's writing-case. That box was locked up. Ho had nut heard her speak about insuring her life. Mr. Bodily, surgeon, was next examined. He said on last Tuesday morning he went to the house, No. 16, Manor place, when Ire am Inspector Dann,who pointed out to him the dead holies. One was lying on the landing, and two between the front and hack doors. In fact, the three might be said to be lying on the landing, and another was on the bed in the back room. Those on the landing were two females and a boy. The young woman was lying on her back, with her bead nearly in the back room, and her legs pointing to the front room. The other female was lying on her stomach jest at the side of the body of the young female. He was satisfied that they were all dead, and he did not do anything farther then. He saw them again the next day in the work bare. He had since opened the body of the boy who was the landiug. The internal viscera of the boy was per. featly healthy. The first body he afterwards opened was, be thought, that of Miss Streeter. The Coroner here suggested that Mrs. Streeter, the mo- ther, should leave the court for the present. Witness found a stab which had entered the cavity of the dm& The wound voss about an inch, and *toyer the region of She bask aad ft appeared to have been done by a sharp setting instrument. The thrust was cut from the interior muscle. It looked like • left-handed cut. The wound was eight or nine inches in extent. From the jagged appearance of the integuments be should say it had been cut more than ones. The carotid arteries on the right side, and jugular veins had been divided, and the instrument had passed into the vetelcre. He was of opinion that there must meet decidedly have been more than one cut. The wounds were mortal, and he considered death must have been in stantaneous. By the Coroeer —He considered if the stab wound had been inflicted first, she would have had time to scream rut. He next examined Mrs. Youngman, and found that she had three stabs, on. over the stomach bone, two in front and one baba There wee a deep w,i nil in the neckwhich had divided the carotid anti ies and the vertebra. The wound and stabs appeared to have been 'line by • sharp instrument. [The inquest was proceeding when our report left.] LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT AND REMARKABLE ESCAPE. On Saturday an accident occurred on the line from Southport to Manchester, at • crossing near Beam Lane, about four or five miles from the former place. The train which left Southport for Manchester at half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, conveying • large number of passengent, proceeded at its usual speed, until it arrived about iIOO yards past Bee car-lane Station, where there is a level ensuing for vehicles and pedestrians. At this point there are gates on each side of the railway, on which a caution is inscribed that they must be kept closed. When the train arrived within a short distance of the crossing, a farm servant, with a hone and cart, was endeavouring to pass over the line; but, through negligence of the driver. the animal and vehicle could not be got to the opposite side in time clear the train, which was close upon the spot. The consequence was, the engine struck the off-aide wheel of the vehicle, which was dashed forward for • abort distance, but did not get clear of the line. The engine again struck the cart, which was shattered to pieces, the horse killed on the spot, and the locomotive was forced off the line by the collision , tearing up the rails for about 110 yards, and plunging, as it were, into a deep bed of sand, carrying with tt one or two carriages. As may be supposed, t he e m ni enge we_ re greatly alarmed, and at first it was en r that human life had been sacri fi ced. Indeed, from t e nature of the occurrence such a conclusion was only reasonable, but we are glad to state that no one experienced more than a severe shaking, with the exception of the engine driver, who was slightly hurt on the breast.—Mknotester Erarsimr. THE ROAD CHILD )(ORDER. —Advantage wan taken of a private visit of Mr. Win, barrister, to the family of Mr. Kent, on Friday last, to hold a conference with him and Mr. Drum, solicitor, and Mr. Parsons, sur ger the latter of whom, it will be remembered, was called in within an hour after the discovery of the murdered body of Francis Saville Kent. Superintendents Foley, of Trow bridge, Woolf, of Devises, and Summers, of Frome, were in attendance, and were present during part of the interview of the professional gentlemen. Some inquiries were pursued and suggestions made which it is thought may possibly lead to the discovery of further and important information. It has not yet been publicly stated that on the morning the murder was discovered Mr. Parsons, surgeon, made a casual examination of all the knives in the house (none of which were missing), sad subsequently submitted them to a micro scopic inspection, but could discover no traces of blood on any of them. Mr. Parsons is also stated to have expressed an opinion that the severe wounds found on the body of the deceased child, and which were inflicted both before and after death, could not have been caused by any of the knives found in the house. The absence of the weapon with which the murder was committed and the mysterious disappearance of the nightdress of Miss Constance Kent have hitherto baffled the researches of the police. Mr Inspector Whicher and Sergeant Williamson have returned to London to await further instructions from the Home Secretary, who, it is hoped, will take some immediate action in this painful matter. It has been suggested that the investigation should be coin- raenced de torn, and that, in addition to the employ- I meat of metropolitan detectives and the county constabu lary, a London solicitor of experience in the conduct of criminal investigations, with a stipendiary magistrate to assist the local justices as their assessor, should be em ployed in the endeavour to fathom this mystery of iniquity. It may be added that the two pieces of newspaper which were found stained with blood, and in which it is supposed that the knife or weapon with which the murder was perpetrated was wiped after the crime had been com pleted, have been proved to be portior of the Tree of the 9th of June. They were stated at the inquest to be parte of a paper which was not taken in by Mr. Kent or any other person resident in the house, and from that circumstance the possibility of somepemon having secreted himself on the premises was suggested. As these fragments., however, are proved to be portions of the journal which was regularly supplied to Mr. Kent, the theory, which amounts to almost absolute certainty, that the murder was committed by some lanais of the house is ea far additionally confirmed.. 101 ___ _ _de Ae I T 5 1 I V I T ai ,usl 3 MONEI HARKET.-2HIS DAY. Two o'CLoui. The funds to-day show increased flatness, owing to the uncertainty respecting the position of the Ministry, coupled with the unfavourable state of the weather. Consols have experienced a fresh de cline of I per cent. Very little business is going forward. In the share markets, dulness prevails. British railway stocks have given way. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Rental's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 68fr. 15c., being about it per cent. lower than on Saturday. Consols are officially marked 931, }, and 1, for money, and 931 and 1., for the account. The present quotations are 931 to 1 both for money and next Thursday's settlement.

Debentures, 1859, 97 ; Five per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 971, 97, 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 6a., 3e. prem. The foreign stock market is very quiet. The Turkish loan of 1854 has declined per cent, being quoted 751 to 761. The loan of 1858 is dull, at 601 to 61. Other foreign stocks present no variation of importance. Sales are recorded as follows: —Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1858, 88; kussian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 84 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 40 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864, for account, 76 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 611 ; ditto for account, 601., 61 ; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., 1011, ex div. The preference shares of the Netherlands Land Inclosure Company are again inquired for this morning, and are marked in the Stock Exchange 11 and 1. The arrirals of specie last week amounted to about 400,0001., of which 236,0001. were from Australis► and 164,0001. from the United States, in cluding 40,0001. reported on Saturday by the Arabia. The light portion of the mails from Australia, Calcutta, China, Bombay, and Mauritius were distributed in London this morning. Applications to a considerable amount have been sent in for the unallotted balance of the East Indian Railway Company's Five per Cent. Debenture Loan, the list for which still remains open. The Mitre Assurance Company disputes the ad judication in bankruptcy. The case is to be heard on Thursday. The half-yearly meeting of the London and North Western Railway Company, fixed for the 17th inst., is to be made special, to consider the agreement with the Birkenhead and Great Western Compa nies, and the agreement with the North Stafford shire Railway Company.
