The iosol i out said be was summoned to appear at the inquest on Mi. Roberts on Monday. He bad offices at 'fiend 17, Northumberlawlatreet, which had been converted into one hoar Mr. Roberta used to advance him money, and to attend to his money matters. Mr. Walker occupied cham ' hers in the same bore, and left the matter in the hands of Mr. Roberta, as he (Roberts) was seem/ for hint (asolvent). Mr. Snood objected to an adjournment, aid the case proceeded, aid carried some time. From the irolvesit's esandaation it appeared that there was only one enthral to the two Louses in Northumber land-street. nen wee as the door " Mr. Roberta," also Nicholson and Oe., army agents; London and West-end Agency ; Hill and Co.: and Mr. Walker, solicitor. Mr. Roberts' office was at 16, ow the first floor. Roberta was not a solicitor. Hs bad aothitie to .10 with Mr. Roberts' bushier. He (insolvent) had a bead office in King William sweet, which he rented of Mr. Poulterer, the opposing creditor. Roberta attended there in his absence to the bust. are. He (Roberta) wsa a bill discounter, and be Lad nothing to do with that business. He (insolvent) recovered delta for people and made up books. Robert s found the capital. people raised an objection to the description on the gram' that the insolvent was a partner with Roberts. The insolvent waa then examined as to some property he sonsidered be was entitled to in tight of his wife. Adverting to the question whether the insolvent was a =with Roberts, he denied that so c k was the case. had advanced him 1341., sad was in the schedule as • creditor. He admitted that Roberta was to have onekalf the roils needs far attending to the huainese and as interest ea the advances Roberts ought make in the business. He positively dried that there wan an agreement between them, as to a parteership. Roberta found capital for him if \enquired it. A complaint was male of • vexatious defence to the ac this brought by Mr. Pottiuger. Mr. Conenimioner Nichols said, with respect to the alleged partnership, if he thought he was a partner, be should not have dismissed the petition, but simply have ordered the schedule to be ananded and • reedvertirment. But he was of opinion that the insolvent was not • partner with Roberts. The insolvent must file some papers relating to his ere when he could get them from the friends of the late Mr. Roberta. 11efoisolventealted fur an order from the court to the eamentore et Mr. Roberts. Mr. Coesmissineer Nichols told the insolvent be had better wait until after the inquest ou Mr. Roberta. and his Mathes would no doubt give him the pupate required. The Court appointed the Beal ceder fur the Mit Nome- Ur, and renewed protection. repeated. After Mr. Jolla Barg ateedemeterth bad been examined Mr. J. L Fernandez was sane& and, having renewed his objection to giving evidence, on the ground that be might criminate himself, soil complaining that he had been very harshly treated, said, ehohU his lordship decide that he was bound to give evidence, he could only say that he must bow to his decision, but at the same time he trusted his lordship would see that: be (witness) was pro peril. protected. Mr. Baron Martin said it was his duty to inform Mr. Fernandez that what he did at the but assizes had come before the three courts at Weetznineter.hall, and all the judges had deckled that he was bound to answer the qua toils put to him. He assured Mr. Fernandes that he was io uo peril whatever, and 1 , 1111 quite free (rum all penalties. The certificate which bad been impounded was handed to Mr. Fernandez, when his examination was continued. He stated that he had hail some conversation with Mr. Charles worth upon the subject of money foe the election. He told Mr. J. B. Cbarleswurth that from 1,0001. to 1,300/. would be required preliminary to the election. Witness spoke to ' sums which he bad received and paid for the purposes of the election. Cross-examined—He Lad no communication with the de fendant as to Low the money should be applied and ex pended. There was • majority of GO upon the eon% ass, and bribery was not thought of. None of the 1,500/. was applied in obtaining the votes of the electors. No bribery was mentioned until Brom came to him three or four days before the election, 1,200/. or 1,500/. wail for preliminary expenses to gain the majority upon the show of Lands, for watchers and runners who were non electors. He believed that the sum of was mini by him to Holder to meet the expenses of the watchers and the runners. The defendant was not aware how the money was expended. Ho canvassed with the defendant, who had no ides of being guilty of bribery. If he had mentioned the subject whilst on the canvass, he was sure Mr. Charlesworth would not have approved of any such proposition. Mr. Charlesworth was innocent of any charge of bribery brought against him. I knew that we Lad • majority of GO 00 the canvass, and at • dinner I heard Mr. Charlesworth say, that he bad rather lose his election than be b Sy of bribery. He warned his friss& present against bri Th is was • fortnight before the election. 1, never or saw Mr. Charlesworth do scything contrary to what he said at this dinner. Mr. Baron Martin expressed hie satisfaction at the man na in which Mr. Fernandes had given his evidence that day. If he applied to the Secretary of State for a release from undergoing the remainder of him punishment, he might refer to his lordship, in making the application. John Shaw deposed that he received 40/. from Mr. Fer nandez, and *pent 30/. of it iu hnbing a voter named Richard Wilcock, a primer. Wilcock took some vegetable. to Biadfoni market, and did nut vote at all. Crean-examine d—Told Mr. Fernandez that I should want 401. for election impasses. Wm. Well said that he knew Rrenr, who gave him 401. He said to Brear that be was tired of being asked for his vote, and told him that if he voted at all he would vote for Mr. Charlieworth. Brew then left the shop. Samuel Gifford, tailor, Market-street, received 15/. from Bran- to give Lis vote fur Charlesworth. A few days eller this, on the nomination day, be again saw Brew, who gave him another 15/. He then told Wear that lie was not of Mr. Charlesworth's way of thinking, and should not vote for him. John Whitehead (Bradford) know a man named Moore, living at Bishop Auckland. I got the name of the " Man in the Moon," and when I went to Wakefield I was intro duced to Bream I was a stranger in that town. I received mosey from Ilrear, amounting in the whole to 5001. I be came acquainted with a man named Laing, to whom I think I gave 501. for Lis vote in favour of Mr. Charlesworth. I gore a portion of the money, about 200/., to a man named Dan. Robinson. Romp Laing said he received from the " Man in the Moon" 501. to vote for Mr. Charlesworth. Dan. Robinson (Bradford) received 2001. from Whitehead to bribe voters. He gave Thomas Stead, • bread-baker, 601. for his vote. Thomas Stead admitted that be bad received 601. to vote for Mr. Chariesworth. Dan. Robinson gave him the money. This closed the case ter the prosecution. Sir F. Kelly thee addressed the jury for the defendant. He said that he appealed to them confidently for their verdict in favour of the defendant, who was • gentleman and • magistrate of the county, had been a member of parlia ment, and hal eojeyed,,and still enjoyed, the esteem and ornikleota of all who knew him throughout Yorkshire. The mime alleged against tbadefendmit, being one of some magni tude, it was necessary that the evidence should be positive sad conclusive, but in his judgment it was not of that clear character an to justify the jury in convicting the defendant of bribery. Mr. baron Martin. in slimming up, mid that the jury must mushier and try the case in the same manner as they would any other in the criminal court on the other side. They must not convict upon suspicion, but act entirely upon the nature of the evidence that had been given. If they should think that the defendant did not interfere to prevent acta of bribery, but, with his eyes open, allowed these slams of money which had been armed to be expended in influencing the votes of the electors, then, as men of common sense, the jury would be bound to find him guilty. If they, however, should think that the evidence was not conclusive, they must acquit the defendant. His lordship referred to the act of parliament, and quoted the sections of it, telling the jury that if the defendant had in their judgment committed bribery within the meaning of the statute be must be con victed. Bribery, of course, bad to be carried on secretly. A man could out .t.tod in the street and bribe people openly; be must be behind the scenes, and do the thing privately. The jury before they found a verdict of guilty most be con vinced that the defendant was • consenting party to the payment of the bribes, the money for which had been placed in the hands of Mr. J. B. Charlesworth. If the do. fondant chose to keep his eyes abut and would not look at what was going on, but turned aside, the question was whe ther he was not substantially and in truth as much guilty of bribery as if he bad with his own hands given the bribes. The jury retired and were absent for upwards of an hour, when they found • verdict of (kitty against the defendant upon the first count, namely, that he had unlawfully given mosey to Mr. J. B. Charleeworth, with the intent that it should be expended, or some portion of it, for purposes of bribery. As to the other amnia alleging specific acts of bribery the jury could not agree, and they were diacharged without giving *verdict. The jury told - his lordship that there was no prospect of their agreeing upon these particular counts. FRIGHTFUL MURDER IN KENT. On Friday afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, a frightful and evidently premeditated murder was committed at New Barns, a hamlet within the parish of Town Mailing. Kent. It mama that about seventeen years since a farm labourer named J o h n Atki ns marrie d a t Brenchley, in that county, a respectable young woman, the daughter of a saw yer, named Walker, living with her parents at Milo Oak. The husband, shortly after the marriage, behaved very strangely, and was exceedingly jealous of his wife, but, No far as we can learn, without the slightest cause. They moved about from place to place solely in conse quence of the jealousy of the husband ; and some three or four months since they came to reside in one of throe cot tages on the estate of Mr. James Graham, New Barns, Atkins being employed ot. the estate of that gentleman. Here the husband appears to have behaved most brutally from time to time to his unfortunate wife. His fellow workmen, knowing his foible, were constantly in the habit of what is familiarly termed " chaffing" Atkins, who would gm home and beat his wife sod turn her out of doors. Mrs. Atkins was the mother of thirteen children, of whom only three are surviving. She was confined with her last child about nine or ten weeks since, but, fortunately, the infant did out live. Three weeks ago the luau bad been plagued by the other workmen, and he went home and ill-used his wife, tearing successively no fewer than three dresses from her person, and at length turned her out of doors and threw a quantity of water over her. As usual, she sought refuge with her ceighbours. On Friday afternoon Atkins was in his cottage converting with his wife and a neigh bour. He seemed in a jocular mood, and playfully pinched his Mb?* cheek, with the observation, " You know you have ! You are a bad woman." The neighbour went into her own house and upstairs to dress ; at the same time the only inmate of Atkins's cottage (excepting himself and wife) their youngest child, a girl, was upstairs putting on her shoes. limnug her mother scream out, the child ran down, when she saw her father holding his wife by one hand, and in the other brandishing a pocket knife. The girl at once ran to the neighbour's house and called for assistance, but could not get in, the door being fastened. The unfortunate woman was next seen to rush from her house to the door of the neighbour, to which she clung. She was bleeding profusely from the throat. The brutal husband followed her and dragged her from the door. In the meantime Mrs. Smith, the neighbour, a woman nearly seventy years of age, being much frightened, came out of her cottage, with the evident intention of going to Mrs. At kins's assistance, but the husband brandished the knife sa her face, threatening to serve her in the same way if she in terfered. Mrs. Atkins staggered a short distance down the lane, and managed to scramble through a gap in the hedge into a field opposite the cottages, closely pursued by the husband. Here the parties were seen by a little boy strur gling together,aed here the fearful crime was consummated. Atkins then, leaving the unfortunate woman en the field, not quite dead, returned to his cottage, took his wife's cap, end went to the door of a Mrs. Ridley's cottage, where be endeavoured to wipe up the blood. He then went indoors, locoing the door after him. The alarm, however, had been given,end the house was closely watched by two men named Willett and Perch. After a short time Willett left Perch in charge to watch in the lane and prevent further vio isnot', and went to Milling for the police and a medi cal man. Dr. Pope was speedily at the place, and on knocking at the door it was at once opened by the murderer, who bad in the interim been busily engaged in wiping the blood from the floor and furniture. The body of Mrs. At kin'', who was then quite dead, was removed from the field to the house by Willett and Perch, and it was found that she bad been stabbed in the neck, and also severely cut in the left side of the throat. The cause of death was the stab, which had penetrated as far as the interior jugular vein. Atkins was at once taken into custody, and was re moved to the Town Melling police station. He was subse quently taken before Mr. Savage at that gentleman's private residence, St. Leonard's-park, where, formal evidence having been adduced, he was remanded until Wednesday, sad was removed to the Maidstone county prison. On the same afteroooo an inquest was held, cad the jury returned • verdict of " Waful murder" against Atkins, who will be tried neat week at the Kest assizes at Maidstone. COTTON GOODS. —3IANCHESTIS, JULY 20.—The ac tivity of the market ha gradually increased during the prices oods arns, and M t e a c . o ne n k dm i l di to il tlis p U. ena Thei imp ulse and w il l i tict has been given to trade in the last fortnight has failed to give manufac turers a corresponding feeling of relief, because the move ment is so largely traceable to the warlike news from America causing excitement in the market for the raw material. Although the price of cloths has risen, buyers have disputed every . shade of advance, the state of the' foreign markets oblivng them to be fully on their guard. In many cases the complaint is made by producers that their small margin of profit has been again diminiahed by the necessity of buying cotton at the present high price, whilst they have so much difficulty in gaining a fraction more for their fabrics. A good deal of business has been done in India shirting., jacconets, bre., and the former are about lA. per piece dearer than on Tuesday. Domestics have not had much share of attention. Higher prices are asked for T cloths and long cloths, but they a r e hardly ob tainable, and any increased sale has been almost confined to the drat-named, at the previ3us rates. As before, only the better kinds of printing cloth seem to improve their position' slightly. In yarns the upward movement and increase of business have been very decided. The advance since Tues day has been id. per lb., or sometimes more, in 30's water twist, 40's mule, and in warps, twist and pin'cops, both for export and the home trade. Doubled yarns continue steady or hardening. HARDWARE.—BIRMINGRAM, JULY 20.—The trade of this town has presented an appearance of more animation this week ; this is nut general, but lira been felt in parti cular branches, still it has so far bad a good effect. In the home department business remains dull, the orders for autumn goods having up to this moment been small, and the factors' travellers are sending home orderabeeta which are somewhat scantily tilled, but notwithstanding this, there are many instances in which ma uufacturers havejust received orders for particular markets, and who undoubtedly are doing better than they have been for some time past, though they are still below en average trade. The makers of some descriptions of fancy goods are rather better sup plied with orders ; • similar remark applies to some of the tool makers who have orders from Spain for the class of tools used in the construction of railways. In the general continental trade more activity prevails, some of the merchant. doing au average trade for the season. There are also orders in fur the Brazilian markets. For autumn goods suitable to the home trade there has been scarcely any inquiry at present, the country ironmongers and others pre ferring to wait the result of the harvest before laying in their stocks for the ensuing season ' • the consequence Utast manufacturen in most of the trades affected are slack ; and ore either making up goods for stock, or the men are work ing short time. Our manufacturers are directing their attention to the production of goods suitable to Frans ; inquiries having already been made for various articles, the manufacture of this town and neighbourhood t there appears to be no doubt that under the new tariff there will in time be a considerable increase oil our 1 trade with the French, the point at the outeet being to get patterns suitable for use in the country, and in accordance with the tuitional taste. In the adjoining district of South Staffordshire trade is in a bad state, and there is a gooddeal of labour out of employment, but this is chiefly in connexion with the ironworks in partial operation onlyand the number of furnaces out of blast. There is some commotion also amongst the workmen, the puddler, and others, consequent on the notices to reduce wages ; but there is uothing to indi- I ate that a strike is contemplated, and the general impres sion is that in a week or two the men will all go in to work at the reductions, as to the necessity for which they mint be well enough informed. The needle trade at Itedditeh is very much depressed in consequence of the stoppage of the American orders. In this locality the prevailing im• pression is, that the revival in trade will be gradual, and that during the whole of this year there will be a certain amount of dulness ; but that next spring business will be brisk. It is probably with this view that the shareholders in the Birmingham Wagon Company have just resolved, on the recommendation of the board of directors, to double their capital by the issue of 10,000 preference shares of IW. each, to bear interest at the rats of 6 per cent.

It will be remembered that in the act of last year powers were conferred upon the justices of the pews in quarter sessions to appoint impac tors and perform various other duties in connection with the carrying out of that act, which duties up to the present time they hays failed to perform. The present bill, which consists of but one section besides the preamble, enacts that all powers conferred on the justices of the peace of any rep t county in general or quarter sessions assembled, the Act :nand Z. 3 Vic., c. 68, intitialed " An Act for ling Measures used in Sales of Gas," he., shall, in so ar as re. lates to the metropolis, as deemed by an act passed in the session holden in 18th and 19th years of her present Ma jesty, chap. 120, intituled "An Act for the better local Management of the Metropolis," hi transferred and vested in the Metropolitan Board of Works • and so many of the said powers as are conferred by section 4 of the rid act shall be exercised by such board within two months after the passing of this act ; and all expenses incurred by them in pursuance of this act shell be defrayed by them out of the rates leviable by them within their jurisdiction, exclusive of the City of London.

ATTEMPTED HURDp OP 4 LADY BY HER DLUGBTSL On Thursday evening a shocking attempt at murder Seek 'Jocose the usually quiet village of Paigatee. A lady sensed Hooper, of the advanced age of 81 years, has for some time raided in this beautiful district with her daughter, Mies Emma Hooper, whose age is understood to be about Myren. Their Moms places them I. an lode pendent position. A little after 'ix o'clock on the evening mentioned the neighbouring inhabitants were alarmed by hearing frequent calls of " murder." Upon hastening to the scene, it appeared that Miss Hooper had made an attack upon the aged lady. She bad armed herself with a large knotty stick. With this formidable weapon she rushed at the unfortunate and helpless object of bar savage passim' and aimed • heavy blow at L er bead. Mrs. Hooper, though dreadfully frightened and almost paralysed by such an unexpected and brutal assault, defended herself as bed she could, though her enfeebled strength prevented her from disarming Ler stronger and more active assailant. She caught the blow upon her arm, receiving severe injury. Upon subsequent medical examine- Coe it was found that it was very badly lacerated, the wound extending from the elbow to the wrist. The entracte of the neighbours prevented Men Hooper from completing her purpose. She was immediately secured, and medical wig soap sent for. Dr. Cioodridge was promptly in attendance. He found Mrs. Hooper in an exoeedio ly probated state from fright and injury. The laaMaae on the arm were sewed up, but it was several hours before the patient recovered.

Culverwell, Brooks, and Co., dated Friday Evening.) There has been no very important change in the general character of the tallow market during the past week ; she tendency to Increamd ease in prices, noticed in our last report, having been, with occasional alight interruptions, it. leading feature ; and although a very fair amount of bud oar has been tranuoted of a purely speculative nature, awl also with the trade, who have bought rather freely for future delivery, the demand in general has not been suffi cient hitherto to cause any material re-action and up to yesterday evening priors showedja decline in m ost positions of about la. per cwt. in Y.C. tallow. The future of the market still depends chiefly on the course the Russian monopolist. may adopt, and much general anxiety Is of course felt upon this subject. It is currently reported that, at present, they are neither buying nor sell ing, but it cannot be concealed that large quantities of tallow hitherto supposed to have been held for Russian account, are now accessible in the open market at extremely fluids rate rates. We do not connect the present fall in prices with any special tactics of the monopolists or other parties interested in the market, but we regard it an an approach toe natural adjustment of the relations of supply and de mand, the former being much in exce‘s of the latter ; the only disturbing influence likely to affect the adjustment in question being for the time withheld though not entirely removed. That this illalllloo4l will again be brought to beer upon the market is the belief of the majority, nod nearly all the forward purchases are now made under this impres sion. The greatest uncertainty, however, prevails on this question, even with the best informed, and it is not improbable that this uncertainty is shared even by the Russians them selves, the course of events having been lately of a character seriously to perplex them. The market to-day has been unsettled, and speculative transactions have been very limited. 48s. 13d. per own. is the general quotation for new Y.C. in most positions. The sale by auction reported below, of old (1860) Y.C. at re duced prices, had some influence in checking operations. The arrivals for the week ending the 18th instant were 1,441 casks ; deliveries, 1,970 cask/ ; stock, 55,969 casks, being a decrease of 529 casks. Town tallow has shared in the general depression of the market, and the result has been shown in en increased dis count allowed to purchasers, but there has been a very fair demand. This ending there is no alteration, the "Letter price" being flOs., &L, or 48e. per cwt. net cash. Fas 2s. 7d. per stone of 811 e. The results of to-day's public sales are given below. The =y of tallow and palm oil being large led to some con hie reduction in prime. Y.C.-435 auks of 1860 brack were offered, and 740 casks were disposed of at 475. to 475. &L per cwt. The quality was mostly very fair. Odessa has not been in much demand, nor has much been t forward. Eight casks of fair beef were offered to dbraoArtit nut being competed for, they were taken in, no price being named. South American.-The business done during the week has not teen extensive, holden in many instances refusing to sell at the reduced quotations. The principal sales lately have been of the mixed greasy descriptions. large parcels of which have been disposed of. 225 casks and 52 boxes were offered to-day. 495. was obtained for a few pipes of good rty ; but there was little or no competition, except for descriptions, which brought 4•25. 9d. to 44a., the wholell maks) finding buyers.

Coon Nut Oil.-During the week some excitement has been experienced in the market. The recent depression in prices oar the Continent having been artificially produced, was quickly followed by a great (but we believe temporary) re-action, and a rapid advance la prior was the result, 44a. did. being obtained for Ceylon, and 45a. 6d. to 46e. for Cochin, a considerable amount of business being transacted at the advance. To-day these prices were not maintained, line Cochin being sold at 445. 6d. to 45e.., and good to floe Ceylon at 435. to 44e. per cwt. 9 casks of middling Sydney e. were l bought casl ia at 31 4 3 1= offered,Ceylon 27 cask.
