Mr. Tyerman, a surgeon at Oxford, who saw him at the general election when he came to vote for Mr. Gladstone, was of a similar opinion. Mies Louisa Traherne, only surviving sister of the tes tator, said that the St. Hilary estate mime into the family through her mother. In 1817 the testator purchased the share of witness and her two sisters in the property for 15,000/. The manor house was of small value ; but witness had been bora in it and had lived there all her life. Had never paid any rent for is until 1858. Till that time, had always lived on the most affectionate terms. Believed there never was • happier family. The last time the testator paid witness a visit was in 185.8. There was then no apparent change in has demeanour. Saw him in the following June. He was then very confused in his manner, and repeated the same thing over and over again. Was at Coedriglan for three days in August. His manner was not what it had previously been—it was not natural to him. He said his wife was very unhappy about him. He said nothing to witness about the churchyard wall or the vestry. In 1858 witness received a note from testator, desiring her to pay a guinea • year ea rent for her premises, and enclosing her a receipt for one year. Was quite surprised at the communication, and could not under stand it at all. It was never explained to witness, but she paid the guinea immediately. Visited testator at Tenby on the 7th of October, 1858, by an invitation from Mrs. Tra. henna Testator was very angry with witness for not going by the train he expected. He had never spoken to her so before. The next morning be scolded witness for bringing her nephew (the defendant) with her. Had sever before that time heard him speak with dimatidaelion of the de fendant. During this visit he was so unlike himself that witness should hardly have known him. Left Tenby earlier than witness had intended. Did so at Mrs. Trailer's?' desire. In November witoess received a letter from the testator, giving her ratios to quit the house. In speaking of Mr. Bruce Price and the Bishop of Llaudaff he made use of Language such as witness had heard from him before. Once at breakfast a lady said she knew of a nice wife for the Bishop of St. David's. (Laughter.) The testator instantly replied, "If I bad a pistol in my hand, and you said that again, I would shoot u l i on."T t hat was said a v e ry .At :ntrytone—not at all V e lery, yai Bef ore the repair., s ess re e reco un' ived a her i ette e r uee from e he; brother commencing, My dose Miss Louisa," and de manding an acknowledgment from her that she was a mere yearly tenant liable to a six months' notice. He also asked whether it was true, as was reported, that she had threatened to dispute his will if it were dated after October, 1858. Did not then know the content' of his former will, and would not have disputed his will for the world. Wrote to him to that effect. Never received any subsequent explanation from him on the subject, or saw him again. Had never done anything in her life to offend him. Mrs. George Traberne was also examined. She denied that she had ever had the slightest mama toe appose that her offer to rebuild the churchyard wall would annoy the dammed. He had been very kind to her, and she would certainly have never done anything that she could have dreamt would offend him. The place for her family grave was chosen by the testator himself. This closed the evidence for the defendant. A Juror asked whether they would have to hoar speeches on both sides ? (Great laughter.) The Judge replied that they would but congratulated the jury on having at any rate arrived at the close of the evidence. COTTON COODS.—Marcuurrra, Flat. 19.—The flat ness of the cloth market is unrelieved by any improvement in the demand from any quarter, and buyers appear to be holding back to see how low prices will go. The depres , sion applies to all classes of goods except T cloths and long ' cloths, which are comparatively firm. Prices are drooping for all other goods, and the heavier kind of India 40-inch shirtinp have given vray since this day week fully 3d. per piece. The lighter makes are I id. cheaper, and printing cloths have declined to about the same extent. There have been some offers making during the last four or five days, but at rates too low for acceptance. They are taken as an indication of a desire to do business so soon as there is • probability of prices steadying. Under ordinary circum stances the stoppage of looms at Blackburn must have created a reaction at once in prices. There are 40,000 looms idle in that place, and the number will be increased by the end of the week to 50,000. The total production of such a number of looms, if all engaged on 40. inch shirtings (the chief production of the place) would be between 300,000 and 400,000 pieces per week. Such • large amount of produc tion taken suddenly out of the market might have been ex have a great effect ou the value of such goods, rtted to the counteracting influences of high discount and bed markets in India and China outweigh fur the present even this great check to the supply of goods. There seems to be some expectation among manufacturers attending market from Blackburn this morning that the operatives on strike will not be able to persist for any length of time. The wmes they have been receiving exceeded 15,004/. per week, aced it is thought that no amount of assistance they will get from other towns will enable them long to continue a con test involving so much loss. if they do possibly a reaction of prices may put an end to the strike, from employers being able to resume work at full wages ; but at present there does not appear to be the remotest prospect of such as improvement in trade as is implied in the supposition. Printing cloths, besides being depressed in price, are amm oniating in stock. Yarns are quite as inactive as cloths, and prices are down id. per lb. since last week. The only offers making are still lower, and spinners will not listen to them. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Litros, FEB. 13.—Thera weal a fair attendance of buyers in the Coloured Cloth-hall We morning, nod a rather better feeling prevailed. The trans actions were principally in Melton, and light fabrics, but a better business was done. In the white market the tone was quiet, and only • moderate quantity of cloth changed owners.

Foreign sells in retail at fully late rates. Barley dell, and all qualities rather easier. Beans and peas slow, but not quotably lower. Oats neglected, but holders refuse to yield in price.

Deputy Christie, called the attention of the counto the fact that the coroner's jury, after returning a verdict of "Accidental death," in thecae. of the four men who were suffocated in the Fleet sewer, had given a strong recommendation that the Commissioners of Siert re should pursue the inquiry, with a view to rem , tale by what means the sewer came into such a condition es to cause so fatal a result. He, as the chairman of the com mission, promised that this should be dose, and be said it appe ared to him that the better cower would be to refer the matter to the general purposes committee, for them to consider what was hest to be done. Dr. Abraham, in moving a resolutioo to that effect, urged the extreme im portance of discovering, if possible, what had caused such a ccodition of the sewer as to destroy the lives of four of their fellow-creatures in an instant, and he said it ap. peered to him that this commission would be neglecting its duty to the public if it did not take all the steps in its power to eedesvoor to discover the cause of the late sad accident. Dr. Roes seconded the motion, which was car ried unanimously. Deputy Lott thee moved that Dr. Abraham and Dr. Ross should form part of the committee for this purpose, which was also carried.

Livanroor, Fut 19.—There was a f►ir attendance of millers and dealers at this morning's market, but only a sluggish feeling prevailed, and the business panting in wheat was chiefly in retail, et previous rates for all Or qualities, and Id. per cental reduction on common reds. Flour was more freely offered, and must be noted from 3d. to 8d per barrel and rck cheaper, with a slow sale. Indian core met a moderate inquiry at a decline of about W. per quarter.

NiTICASTLZ, Fan. 19.—The weather has become onset.. tied, • good deal of rein having fallen since Saturday. It I is much to be desired that line weather should set in, as the cold days are too wet to admit of working. At our market I this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers; but having several arrivals from the south, as I well as from the French coast, the trade opened languidly, and continued to the close, with few transactions resulting. Some new Lincolnshire red, weighing 571bs. per bushel, commanded 545. per 5041 he., whilst the general runs of French red from Nantes were selling at 63.. per 5041b5., natural weight 591bs. Flour sold slowly, but in its value we can note scarcely any alteration. Malting barley, unless fine, most difficult to quit. For 521bs. Norfolk 40s. could not be exceeded, Northumberland quality, weighing 531E0. pin• bushel, being preferred at the same money. In malt little stirring. In other articles little change.

Business was THE LONDON DISTRICT TELEGRAPH COMPANY. In their report for the past half-year the directors of the above company state that they anticipated they would have been enabled to have announced the completion of the principal portion of the London District Telegraph system. In consequence, however, of the wet season that has since intervened. followed by the very severe front, unexpected delays hare occurred in carrying on the works. Fifty-two stations are now open for messages, being as increase of fourteen since the bet report, and twenty-one more will be ready for opening very sly, The greater portion of these new stations are being worked with only • slight addition to the previous staff ; and there are sufficient clerks, either qualified or in training, to open the twesty.oue stations with a trilling increase for Le. The unavoidable preliminary expenses li r is= bees fully considered at previous meetings, it now remains for the director+ to submit to the propels tors their views as to the development sod future working of the undertaking. Upon comparing the receipt' for the two past haWyears, it appears that there is an increase at 507!. 3d. The directors consider this to be • satisfac tory prou, that the public are beginning to appreciate the isWertakiog even in its present iocomplete state. The ex perience of the past year has shown that sonic rearrange. merit of the tariff was desirable. The original charge was 4d. fora niesesge of ten wonls, but it was found that this scale did not allow a sufficient number of words, and there was a cossequent increased charge for the message. It was, thereon', thomcht advisable to iucrease the number ad words to fifteen, at • minimum charged Gd. A scale far beyond the limit of free deliveries bee also been adopted, ,tint this will gradually be 10, oiled us additional statics' are opened, except for very remote distncta, sad the directors believe that the public do cot think these alteratives unreasonable. With regard to the venous atm tuns now at work or to be opened, many of them are, of course, experimental, and th e directors have ' therefore decided that, unless a statics be found to be ppaying its working expenses, after being open • reason able time, it will be eloped, unless special arrangenieste can be mole for working it profitably, or a load guarantee pro vided for the expenses. The directors have decided to com mence advertising the advantages of the company, and they take . this opportunity of suggestieg to the shareholders the desirability of doing all in their power to make the undertaking known. in IltklitlOU to the works now is proper, the directors have completed arrangement" for the emotion and working of several private telegraphs on re munerative teem to this company. A considerable amount is still doe for calls. the payment of which the directors have hitherto refrained from enforcing ; but as some of the shareholders have objected to these amounts being left out standing, the directors have now no alternative but to take the necessary steps to compel payment. In con clusion, the directors state that the working arrangements with the canons other telegraph compeers', whereby as interchange of provincial sod continental manages is se cured, to the advantage of the compauy, and the convenience of the public, continue must Pursuant to the articles of sasociation, two el the direc tors, Mr. Samuel Gurney, M.P., and Mr. Charles Reynolds, retire from the board, but being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

On Monday afternoon it blew strong, and the sis Tha tlignidually oacrosaed to a gale from S.S.E., which pre. throughout the night. The harbour of Peli sses we crowded with shipping. The flowing tide, urged by the gale, swept over the Extension (the meat expound pert of the piers) in volumes, and about II chits* we of four vessels attached to the moorings furthest seaward broke adrift. It was the brig Hero, of Bideford, Capt. Fowler, coal-laden, from Wales for Ply mouth, that has been here for some days windliound. Five men (Melodies the captain) were on board ; and three of the crew of another vessel jumped on board to assist. A warp was gut out and miU fast, but parted, and the ill-fated vessel fast drifted toward s th e rocks which lie out side the West Cornwall Railway seawall. The eight men, seeing the fate that awaited the Hero, took to their boat, but this frail craft was soon disabled, got into the breakers, and was apart, in the sight of many eaves of spectators, who witnessed the struggle from the piers, the moon at times shining brightly. The struggle was brief—indeed the whole affair was one of a few minutes—awl seven of the eight sailors perished. ooe was swept by an immense wave along the back of the northern pier. Another such wave would have dashed him against the railway wall, but he was caught by a brave man, who descended the pier by some iron bars fixed in it, and rescued the half-drowned nuoiner. We have not yet been able to ascertain names or details. The wind mode rated this (Tuesday) morning, but the Hero—her masts gone and feat breaking up—is a total wrerk. —Coro wit Telegnsph.
