EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, i 8). CONFESSION OF THE MURDERERR. The mystery which for some time shrouded the horrible minter committed at Embleton a fortnight ago has now been dispelled by the confession of George Cass, Mr. Fears . ' hushandtnan, whose apprehension on suspicion we announced yesterday. Soon after being locked up, Cass ex pressed a desire to see the chief constable. Hr. Dunne went to him, when Cass toll him that he wished to make • statement about the murder. Mr. Dunne sent imme. diately for Mr. Waugh. the magistrates' clerk, and his as sistant clerk, and in the presence of these three gentle men, Can confessed that he had murdered Ann Sewell. He said that when he returned from the field for ►is mare the girl asked him something about mending her clog for her. He would not comply with her request ; she there fore called him names and threw the table knife at him, the hasdle of which struck him under the eye. He threw it back at her sad it struck her throat end cut it. She then told him that since be had gone so far he had better smarrier her altogether. He seised the knife again, and setting upon her committed the deed with which he sow stands charged. It also ►ppears, front the prisoner's cosafeesion, that after be had murdered the girl he robbed bee. A move-reign and • half crown have been found •1.% with the girl's purse, the two latter bearing marks like blood stains. The half-crown was obtained from Mrs. Johnston, the landlady at the public-house at EaglesSeld, where the prisoner and his tether spent • @lulling of it on the Wed nesday after the murder. The sovereign was found in the pommies of the prisoner's mother ; sod the purse was discovered buried twelve inches below the ground at Sou gill, Bromley You, near to the desolate shores of Lowe's Water. From this It would seem that the murderer had rifled the box of his victim while his hands were still reek ing with ber blood. Some of the prisms". statemeuts must, however, be looked upon with suspicion in the mean time. For instance, it seems stooge that his face bore no mark of • blow. The coins, along with the clothes which the prisoner says he wore when the murder was committed, have been forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis ; far although Cars Las confessed his guilt, It will be seminary to have the evidence made out fully against him. A Vienna letter of the sth says :—" Yesterday and the day before two demonstrations took place at Path, which were quite orderly, but, nevertheless, fully prove that the public feeling remains th•w same. The first was a performance at the Academy of Music and Declamation for the benefit of the starving inhabitants of Croatia. Though the prices of admission were five times higher than usual, the house was crowded to exam, and every body wore the national costume. The receipts amounted to 50,000 fiorim. On the following day took place the funeral of the student who diet in consequence of the wounds he had received in the ,li.turb.anee of the 15th ult. Allove 60,000 persons followed the rorbqc. Several noblemen of the highest families, ac companied by their wives, went before the hearse. The whole population lined the road from the deceased's resi dence to the cemetery. Sever-AI addresses were delivered over the grave ; the national patriotic cries were raised, and taken up enthusiastically by the crowd, but there was SHARE LISTS-7Hlg DAY. i Two o'CLocz.

Two o'Cioci. The funds remain dull. Consols are now quoted barely as good as at the close of business yesterday. The monthly settlement continues to absorb attention. The " continuation" on Consolfi ore mains at I per oent. In face of the drooping tendency of the funds, British railway stocks nre still rising. The share markets generally are firm. Business is languid. _ _ . Indian government gecurities exhibit no altera tion. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented opened at 69fr. 95c., being sc. better than the last price of yesterday. . . Consols are officially marked 94j, },l, and 1 for money, and 941 and * for to-morrow's settlement. The present quotations are 94 3-16 to 5-16 for cash and to-morrow, and 94* to for the 9th of May. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 226 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 921, 98, and 921 ; the New Three per Cents., at 921, 93, and 922 ; tho New Two-and-a-Half per Cents., at 79 and 78* ; the Indian Five per Cent. stook of 1869, at 106 and 1041 ; the Five per Cent. enlaced rupee paper, at 981 and ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cent., at 104 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Deben ' turee of 1858, at 97 ; India Bonds, at se. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills at 12a., Ba, and 12s. prem. Little business has been done in foreign stocks. The Turkish loan of 1854 is 4..ted 751 61 70, ea LLo (U. idcud due this day, showing no variation from yesterday's price. The loan of 1854 has declined per cent., being quoted 611 to I. Mexican Bonds have not recovered from yesterday's fall. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., for account, 98*, ex div. ; Chian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 861 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 211, 211 ; Portuguese Three per Ceuta, 1859, 42; Rus sian Three per Cents., 1859, 64.1 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 831 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 461 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., for account, 36, 341 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 751, 76, ex div. The scrip of the New Brazilian Loan is quoted I dis. to par. The payment of the dividends commenced yes terday. The demand at the discount office at the Bank was to a fair extent, but decidedly less active than last week. Some considerable advances made by the Bank during the shutting of the transfer books were repaid yesterday. These repayments will continue until to-morrow, when the bulk will have been liquidated. In Lombard-street there is still little relaxation in the rates, 41 to 5 percent. being asked upon very good bills. For four months paper the terms demanded are 5* per cent., and for six months, 6 per cent. In the Stock Exchange the supply of money wax quite equal to the demand. The rate for abort loans on Consols was 4 to 4 per cent. Two o'clock to-morrow is the latest hour allowed for sending in tenders for the Victoria Six per Cent. Loan of 2X50,000/. If the reserved price is fixed above 106 per cent., it is doubted if the entire amount will be taken up. It may be useful to recall to mind that upon the last occasion, viz., the 24th October, 1869, when the amount offered was only 423,6001., the tenders reached an aggregate of 1,860,000/ Of this 723,000!. was above the re served price, which was fixed at 108. Tenders at 1 108 or less received none ; those at 1081 under went a small pro raid reduction ; whilst those above 108* obtained an allotment in full. The deben tures quickly ruse to 2 per cent. premium. The Bank rate of discount was then 24 per cent., and the price of Consols 98, or nearly 11 per cent. higher than now. The new debentures were, however, subjected to the competition of the New Indian Five per Cent. retook, which was being eagerly sought after and paid upon by investors. The alteration which has since occurred in the state of the money market, and the magnitude of the amount now offered, render it certain that the ne gotiators of the loan must accept a lower price. 10,0001. in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. The 537,0001. in specie by the West India packet will be delivered to-day ; the 48,0001. in gold will be taken for the Continent. The Oneida sailed yesterday forßrazil with 60,0001., principally sovereigns, drawn from the Bank. The obscurity of the phraseology of the new Stamp Act, now in operation ; is much complained of. This is especially the case with regard to the provi sions affecting foreign bills of exchange. Had some of our legislators introduced • clause specifying what they mean by a " foreign" bill of exchange they would have done good ser vice. Amongst other points • good deal of discus sion has arisen with regard to the sometimes prac tically retrospective operation of the provision that " the stamp duties on foreign bills of exchange by this act granted shall be payable on all such bills as shall, after the passing of this act, be first nego tiated, or, if not negotiated, paid in the United Kingdom." It is asked, does this apply to foreign bills which had been negotiated in this country prior to the passing of the act 1 Notwithstanding the array of legal talent on both aides of the House of Commons, it is probably too much to expeet that a commercial act shall be oouched in language sufficiently clear to obviate the necessity of endless references to learned coun sel and to the executive by persons who, whilst anxious to observe the law , areunable to interpret it. At Constantinople, on Saturday, the exchange on London was quoted 120 p. The previous quota tion was 12.4. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,5411., and the South Eastern an increase of 4,479/ The increase in the latter is understood to arise principally from the through traffic from Dover and France._ _ . . The weekly traffic return of the Great Western Railway of Canada, just received, presents an in crease of 111451. sterling ; and that of the Grand Trunk Railway an increase of 4,7971. The second call of V. 10s. is to be paid on the shares in the London and Mediterranean Steam Navigation Company (limited), by the 9th of June. A correspondent sends us the following : Several new lines of railway are already projected in con nexion with the Crystal Palace, which is to be erected at Muswelbhill. It is reported that the Great Northern Rail way Company will lay down the broad gauge from King's- MN to the Wood-green Station, which will enable the Great Western trains to run into the palace over the Metropolitan Railway. The North Loudon and Blackwell Railway Companies are promoting a line fm Kingaland to H A co mpany is being formed fo rt be construction of the rt branch from Tottenham to MusweLbhill, which acoommodate all the visitors from Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, by the Eastern Counties ; and another line is projected from the Muswell-hill Station to the Hampstead Junction Railway. The Metropolitan Rail way contemplate an extension of their line from Farringdon street to f‘boreditch, ma well as to Finsburytircus and the Bank of England. The Herculean and Naomi have arrived from China with 1,466,7001b'. of tea. MOIDAT Emma.

MINES.-THIS DAY. Two °Two. In tlle mining market to-day there are numerous inquiries for dividend pa s hares . The prin cipal transactions have been in share.. in Wheal Cliffoiri, Treloweth, Wheal Seton, Wheal Mary Ann, Tincroft, and Kelly Bray. Prices are well supported. Foreign and colonial mining shares have been little dealt in, and present little change in price. An extraordinary meeting of the Cornwall Great Con solidated Le.ol sad Copper . Mining Company (Limited) is called for the 24th inst., a t Birmingham, to pass a resolution for the voluntary winding up of the company under the Joint Stock Companies Acts, - 1856 and 1857. A general meeting of shareholders in North Trelawney was held on the 4th inst. The accounts for three months showed a balance against the mine of 901. A call of Is. per share was made. The agent reported :—" Magar's shaft is sunk 6011 fathoms. The lode in the 54 south is 6 inches wide, and produces good stones of lead.

THE COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH PRANCE. The following reply haa been returned by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to a communication from the Board of Trade : Manchester Chamber of Commerce, April 2, 1860. Sir,-1 am desired by the directon of this chamber to nuke the following replies to the queries submitted to them in your favour of the 24th ult. 1. They are of opinion that it would be impracticable to assess specific duties by weight, with any degree of fairoe+s, on manufactures, yarns, or textile fabrics, the predue!itin of this district. 2. Aa to the average prices of each clams, the same rem.rk would apply. The great nriety produced, forced by com petition, and the demand of almost every country in the world, leads to such an unlimited assortment of production even in plain fabrics, without referring to the interminable variety of fancy ones, as make it impossible for this chamber to suggest any fair mode of classification with a view to the imposition of specific duties. 3. It is most desirable that the lowest range of duty should be imposed on our lower-priced staple productions, for which the consumption is of coarse greatest, the competi tion most severe, and the cost of transit most expensive. lu reference to the term upon which the average is proposed to be taken, viz., the six months previous to the ratification of the treaty, I am desired to remark that such average would be manifestly unfair, as being probably 20 per ant. above the average for the last six years. lam further to inform you that the directors of this chamber, if desired, will be glad to aid the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade by sending a delegate from their can body, or a gen tleman practically acquainted with the trade and manufac tures of the district This chamber would, however, nature to suggest a meeting of representatives from • few of the different centres of industry, via., Manchester, 0 w, Leeds, Bradford, Birmingham, Sheffield, and the Potteries, for the purpose of conferring with the Board of Trade, and practically ex hibiting, by samples of their manufactures, the difficulties this chamber conceive would attach to any system of specific duties. Such a conference would be the more valu able if it had the power of conferring with Mr. Cobden, or any other commissioner the Board of Trade might think fit to appoint. In conclusion, I am instructed to repeat the unanimous opinion which has already, on several occasions, been ex pressed by this chamber in favour of the imposition of ad enforces duties, as being the only fair and satisfactory mete of carrying out the previsions of the treaty. I have the honour to be, sir. your obedient servant, HUGH FLEMING. Secretary. James Booth, Esq., Secretary, Board of Trade, London.

GREAT SOUTHERN OF INDIA RAILWAY COMPANY. —Subjoined is the second report of the directors :—" During the last twelve months the directors have beau actively en in forwarding the works, and they have the satia tion of referring to the annexed report of the engineer, by which the shareholders will observe that so much pr,- has been made as to induce an expectation that the dcat section of the railway from Negapataaa to Trichioopoly may he opeuna in the spring of next year.

They have contracted for the remainder on favourable terms, and shippi d four locomotive engines. They anticipate, Wielders, that the whole of the materials required for the construction and equipment of the railway will have arrived in !edits by the end of the present year. Having adopted the system of coestructing the railway under the superintendence of their own officer', the directors are now enabled to state, as the result of their experience, that the Ilan adopted has proved in every way satisfactory, both as regards economy and the substantial character of the works. The reports which the directors continue to receive fully confirm the expectations originally entertained on the subject of traffic, all the advantages of which will be secured to the share holders immediately on the opening of the first section of the line. The cost of that section having been confined to 1560,000 f., instead of one million, as specified in the com pany's act of parliament, it has become oeoessary to intro duce • bill into parliament for the purpose of enabling the company to exercise the borrowing powers upon the re duced capital. The bill also contains power to convert shares fully paid up into stock. An extraordinary meetipg will be held at the conclusion of the ordinary business, when the sanction of the shareholders will be requested to theroviaices of the bill."
