The famed Yorkshire meeting opened under prospects which seem to brighten as years roll in. The company in. creases annually, new faces supply the vacancies occasioned by old age or death, more running horses are entered on the lists, and more young ones bred than would have been dreamt of in the philosophy of the six subscribers to Eng land's original great race for 3-yr-olds, the Doncaster St. Leger. These facts need not to be impressed upon the mind of any man who 30 years ago travelled for two days on the great North road, and on Monday last performed the same distance in four hours. Such was the rush to wards the trysting spot that an extra train had to be de spatched from King's-cross, and so well did steam and iron do their duty that the two trains reached their desti nation within a quarter of an hour of each other. The Sub scription-room was consequently well attended, and a more than average - amount of business transacted on the forth coming events of the week, The outlays upon Backstone and Hurricane for the St. Leger had the effect of driving The Marquis slightly back in the betting, and at mid night it was next to impossible to determine whether the North or the South country horse was first favou rite. Lord Glasgow's Stockwell colt and Col. Towneley's Imperatrice were also entrusted with some money. For the Champagne Stakes layers were plentiful against Lord Clifden, who had been backed for even money, but de clined during the evening ; and for the Great Yorkshire Handicap Dulcibella was sadly at a discount. Changes, however, took place in the morning, and the Marquis was before noonday almost alone in the position of decided favourite. Messrs. Tattersall were meanwhile busy in the horse-fair, and sold a few yearlings at good prices, one or two being bought in at double their value. At half-past 1 the Stand presented the usual lively ap pearance of the fashionable gathering of Yorkshire, and an excellent bill of fare began to be discussed under a genial sky, with 14 runners for the old-established and appropri ately-named Fitzwilliam Stakes. King of Diamonds then showed his speed by disposing of Caller Ou and Wallace without an effort. The Champagne Stakes were won cleverly by the favourite, Armagnac, who was second, having been purchased by the Earl of Stamford and War rington previous to the race. The Great Yorkshire Handi cap produced a large field and an interesting contest ; after which betting upon the St. Leger was renewed, 4 to 1 being again offered against the Marquis. An excellent day's sport was brought to its termination with the greatest punc tuality, and no contretemps occurred save a fall in the se cond race, when Engineer stumbled and fell on his knees at the moment the flag was lowered, and Astarte, who was lying in his track, rolled over him. Neither of the jockeys received any injury b 3yond a few braiees. The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 soya each, with 100 added, for all ages; weights for age; winners extra. The second_ t save his stake.

The lot left the post in compact order, with the exception of Tragedian and Victrix, who got badly off. Cape Fly away was the first off, but was immediately after passed by Equinox, who with King of Diamonds, Caller Ou, Wallace, Cairncastle, and Dirt Cheap came on in advance, the lot running in a cluster into the straight, where King of Dia monds took a slight lead, waited upon by Caller Ou, Cairn castle next the rails, with Wallace on his whip hand, the quartette running in close company to the Enclosure, where the Baron's colt drew away, and won in a canter by two lengths. Three lengths between the second and third ; Equinox finished a bad fourth, Caller Ou fifth, Dirt Cheap sixth, and the Miss Whip filly next, The last two were Tra gedian and Victrix.

Betting -6 to 4 agst Wombat, sto 1 agst Olive Branch, 6to 1 agst Longshot, 100 to 15 agst Eidolon, and 8 to 1 agst Grimston. Grimston, next the rails, jumped off with the running, followed by Eidolon and Longsh o t, th e others, hededh Wombat, Olive Branch, and Lady Bird, lying up. On fairly entering the straight, Eidolon headed Grimston, and came on with a slight lead to the distance, where Longshot was disposed of, Wombat following suit in a few stride s after, leaving the three placed to finish a good race home, Eidolon winning very cleverly at last by a neck, two lengths separating the second and third. Longshot finished fourth, Wombat fifth, and Olive Branch next, Despair was last.

After several failures, caused by the Young Melbourne colt, Armagbac, and the NV asp colt repeatedly breaking away, the flag was lowered to a straggling start, in which the favourite got badly off. On settling into their places Fiancee, next the rails, was seen in possession of the lead, having Early Purl, Armagnac, Trojanus, Stampede, and Lord Clifden in close attendance, the ethers lying up. On reaching the distance Mr. Naylor's pair were disposed of, and Early Purl came on with the running, closely at tended by Armagnac and the favourite to the stand, where I 4 'erdham made his effort, and in a few strides further ob tained a slight advantage, which he retained to the end, and won very cleverly by half a length ; three lengths separating the second and third, Fiancee fourth, Cistercian fifth, Trojanus sixth, and Stampede next. The Wasp colt, Lord Glasgow's colt, and Brother to Morocco were the last three. The Revival Plate of 100 in. soya, for 2- yr-o l ds and upwards. Weights for age.

AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "'limes," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the begetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing, its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and a ll th e enno bli ng privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S qEI,E-PRESE RVATTON," a Treatise on Nervous and Ph /oleo' Debility, of which the 90 th Edition has Just been published by Mann and Co., 39.

The screw steam sloop Africa, 4, 669 tons, left Plymouth on Sunday, under the flag of the Emperor of China—green ground, yellow border, and yellow diagonal cross,—having been purchased by His Imperial Majesty. She is now called the China. This sloop will bear the pennant of Capt. Sherard Osborne, RN., and will be in charge of Commander Allan Young. She is to be masted, rigged, and equipped for sea in the Victoria Docks, London, where the Amoy (late Jasper, 1, gunvessel, 301 tons, 80-horse power), Lieut. Arthur Salway, R.N., is under equipment. The third ship belongin g to the squadron, the screw gunvessel Mohawk, 4, 697 tons, with engines of 200-horse power, is com manded by Capt. Burgoyne, R.N. There will be a redundancy of commissioned officers on board each ship. The squadron will, after equipment, proceed for Pekin. Yesterday the Jasper, 5, screw steam gunvessel, 425 tons, made an official trial of her engines. The vessel left the harbour of Sheerness in charge of Captain T. P. Thompson, and proceeded to the measured mile off Maplin Sands. The engines are of 80 nominal and 300 indicated horse-power. The trial was considered by all the parties interested to be of a most satisfactory nature. The mechanical al rangements for fitting and fix ing the armour plates of the Prince Consort at Pembroke dockyard have been completed. These arrangements, which have been devised and carried out under the superintendence of Mr. J. Inman Fincham, the master shipwright of the yard, pro vide for an economical system of work, and have been warmly commended by the Board of Admi ralty. Tramways have been laid down from the landing wharf to the ship's sides and to the machine-house, and steam cranes for raising and lowering the plates have been placed upon them on wheels, so that the huge plates, weighing several tons each, can be transported from the wharf either to their places on the side of the ship or to the machine house and back again in a very few minutes. The machine-house contains numerous well-selected machines for bending, planing, and drilling the plateb, and furnaces for annealing them when necessary. The workmen are busily occupied in fixing the armour upon the Prince Consort. The Edgar, 86, screw, Capt. the Hon. F. F. Foley, just completed in her fitment at Portsmouth as the flagship of Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., for service in the Mediterranean, yesterday made her official trial of machinery, &c., under the supervi sion of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Re serve, assisted by Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machi nery afloat, and Mr. Ward, assistant to the engineer in-chief of the dockyard. The ship was to have run at the measured mile, but owing to the working of the machinery not being of the most satisfactory character, this was postponed. The Rifleman iron screw sloop was brought down from her moorings in Portsmouth harbour yester day, where she has lain since her return to England from foreign service, and placed in No. 2 dock. In accordance with orders to that effect received at Chatham, every exertion is being made to have the paddle-wheel steamer Argus, 6, 300 horse power, Commander P. Moor, fitting for the China and Japan waters, ready to leave the Medway during the present week after making her trial trip at the Maplin Sands. The whole of her officers who had been absent on leave rejoined yesterday at the Nore. The Argus will swing, to adjust compasses, either to-day or to-morrow, and is expected to leave the Medway for Spithead on Friday to await final orders. She takes out a detachment of Royal Marines for escort duty at the British Legation, Japan. During the time the Argus has been in the Medway waters she has undergone a very thorough repair, both to her hull and ma chinery, and has been fitted with new funnels. Her crew numbers 170 officers and men. It is understood that the new coaling arrange ments at Portland, which are of a very complete character, will be made available at no distant period for the coaling of her Majesty's ships. At present the huge coal store, capable, it is said, of holding 6,000 tons of coals, is empty, and in the adjacent yard not 100 tons are in stock to supply the immediate wants of the large iron-plated and other steam-ships now in the harbour. Capt. Ramsay, R.N., C. 8., whose period of ser vice as Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard has just expired, took his departure from that place on Saturday afternoon, in her Maje s ty' s steamer Lightning. The whole of the officers and Workmen assembled at the place of embarkation, and cheered the gallant officer lustily as he left. This sponta neous demonstration of good feeling was received b y hi m with much apparent emotion, and must have affordedn great satisfa c ti on at the termination of his long a nd vigorous servi ces at Pem b roke. The following appointm en t s were ma d e yester dayg at the Admiralty : —J ohn D. Switzer, master additional to the Cumberland, for the Lily.

An excellent start was effected at the first attempt, the lot leaving the post in a cluster, with the exception of Be douin, who, jumping round at the moment, was left at the post. After running a few strides, Patrick rushed to the front and cut out the work at a good pace, Doefoot going on second, with Cowley, Haddington, and the Makeless mare lying at her quarters, the lot whipped in by Conundrum, Pembroke, and Ma s t er G eorge.

After a trifling delay at the post Queen Bertha jumped off with the lead, Villafranca, Miss Armstrong, and Roly poly being in close attendance, with the favourite waiting on the inside. The first to recede was Roly-poly, when Bohemia and Canace got upon even terms with the leaders, and the four placed by the judge came on abreast from the distance. At the Stand Cerintha and Bohemia singled themselves out, and a magnificent race ended in favour of the former by a short head.

AUSTRALIA .-. ANOTHER INVITATION TO ENGLISH CRICKETERS.-GEORGE PARR'S ELEVEN. An invitation has been received by Mr. George Parr, by the late Australian mail, with proposals for him to visit Australia with eleven cricketers, himself to be the captain. The letter is dated " July 26, Marshall's Cricketing Depot, Swanston-street, Melbourne," and is signed " George Mar shall." The proposals are that G. Parr, with his team, should leave England for Australia in September, 1863, and the following names are mentioned whom the colonists would like to see over :—T. Hayward, R. Carpenter, R. Daft, J. Jackson, E. Willsher, J. Ctesar, G. Griffith, G. Anderson, W. Mortlock, J, Grundy, G. Bennett, J . Lilly white, W. Caffyn, G. Tarrant, T. Sewell, and T. Lockyer. Twelve matches are to be played in Victoria and New South Wales, as shall be arranged by a committee. The condi tions go on t o s t a t e th a t £6 OO shall be remitted to England prior to departure, also the sum of £5O per man as a provi sion for their wives and families during their absence, should the proposal be agreed to. Arrangements to be made with Messrs. Bright Brothers, Melbourne. The passage to be first class. The letter mentions that the speculation is likely to realise to each man from £4OO to £6OO. It also states that Griffith, Caffyn, Bennett, and Mortlock are espe cial favourites in Australia, and they hope to see " Tom Lockyer." The terms offered to G. Parr are extremely libe ral, and doubtless they will be accepted when the team con sult together. Parr is to return an answer as early as pos sible, so as to facilitate arrangements in Melbourne for their reception, which, the writer adds, will be more enthusiastic than the late visit. linto competition with cotton goods." The majority of ex perimenters are tryi ng t o f i nd fibres to mix with cotton rather than to tak e it s p l ace, and among these the principal are preparations of flax. k fibre was produced on the Ex change to-day made from Rio grass which bore the greatest resemblance to cotton of anything yet produced. It was extitruely fine, of good colour and strong, It was many inches in length, and would require breaking up for use, but that would be no obstacle if it could be produced cheap enough and in sufficient quantity. It was said to be pro ducible in great quantity, and at 3d. per lb. ; but the ques tion which naturally suggests itself, if this is true, is suffi cient to throw doubt upon the statement. The Scotch fibres from jute and other substances do not find much favour here. It is said that the bleached samples which have been tried are too brittle. The cotton offered through the Messrs. I Phillips, of London, begins to excite considerable interest. At first it was not believed in becanse the gentlemen to whom it was shown were not allowed to handle it, but more recently the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce has been allowed that privilege, and pronounces it of sufficient strength. The statement in a circular recently issued by the inventor that a future supply of the material may be ob tained by cultivation in the United Kingdom, without dis placing from other purposes one acre of land, has taken the public by surprise. To this should be added the state ment made here on behalf of the inventor, when asked about the quantity, that an almost unlimited supply would be forthcoming almost immediately, or at least a million bales. The next question to be answered, and one of great importance, is as to cost. American cotton, it is known, has been produced and sold in this market with a profit at something like 4d per lb. No material is likely to come into permanent use here that could not withstand such a competition. At least spinners and manufacturers will not be likely to risk their capital to any extent in procuring it. Even if ordinarily producible at this price, it is thought that any undertaking of the kind would be subject to a rude shock whenever the struggle in America is over, and when it is believed that this market will be completely glutted with cotton, which must be sold at any price. Such a shock in the infancy of an undertaking would be hard to i w s i v th er s y ta p n r d. evai W en h t et h e r e e r , t a h n i d s belief t h i s i s w w e h l i l e foundedexplains o r t h n e o tit is t ap parent apathy which has been manifested with regard to procuring cotton from new fields of cultivation. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market : " There is no change in this market since Tuesday last. On Saturday and yesterday there was rather more inquiry, and a moderate business was done, but to-day the demand has fallen off again, and there is little or nothing doing. Prices are nominally the same as last week, but are very irregular." LEEDS, 16th.—The markets in both the cloth halls to day were rather quiet as to purchases, but prices were firm, and the tone of the market was healthy. There is no im hpreomyeemt r e a n d t e i e n e n t t h i n e n d e s em s a n t e a d d y b . y T t h h e e e p x a p r c o e r l t s h r o e u m s c o s y , e b d u ht from t the halls to-day at the close of the market included a fair portion of ordinary useful black cloths, as well as different mixed and fancy goods for autumn and winter wear. The finishers of the new Witneys are fully employed, and are working overhours. ROCHDALE, 15th.—There has been a good market for flannels to-day, and a considerable bulk ®f goods was pur chased, as there was also at the warehouses during the past week. Prices have an upward tendency, especially those of Welshes. Manufacturers are busy, many of them com pleting orders for exportation, as well as for the home trade, and the prospects for some time to come are satisfactory. Yorkshire goods are selling much better than of late. Wools still keep very firm in price ; indeed, on the more saleable sorts an advance of 2d. per lb. has taken place within the past fortnight. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at Aberdeen—Mr. J. Stirling in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he thought the result of the half-year's working was very favourable to the company. They were enabled in the past half-year to show a considerable increase in their traf fic, and to give a better dividend to the shareholders than in the corresponding period of last year, Considering the circumstances of the country, those two facts were very gratifying. Their expenses were on the decrease. This was the first half-year of their working with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway Company, and he was glad to say that their working with that company had been highly harmo nious and satisfactory. He concluded by stating that he should be happy to answer any question the shareholders might wish to put. Mr. G. THOMPSON, in seconding the motion, said he thought they had reason to be very well pleased with the present state of the undertaking, and he hoped the dividends on the ordinary stock would continue to increase. The motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the sum of £20,103, then standing at the debit of the Aberdeen revenue balance account, was transferred to the debit of the Aberdeen capi tal account. The retiring directors were re-elected, and also the retiring auditor. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. S7ATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 16.—The yarn-market has been exceedingly quiet to-day. Scarcely any inquiry has been made, either by consumers or by speculators. At the same time holders are very firm, and are demanding extreme prices, still feeling confident that the value of all kinds of cotton goods will be considerably higher than at present. At the extreme rates now quoted shippers for India are quite out of the market, and have been for many weeks past. The recent advices from Bombay and Calcutta are discouraging, even had not prices here gone up so out of all proportion to the values current in India. There is nothing indeed, doing for shipment to any foreign market, except some limited operations, under peculiar circumstances, for Germany. The cloth-market has been quite as inactive as that for yarns. Holders are very firm and the sales effected have been made without any concession from the rates of last week. They have not got up again to the highest point recently attained, but holders express much confidence that they will do so, and do not care to sell anything less. There has been no buying for India or for export at all. Almost the whole of the cloth,purchased to-day and for some time past has been taken , ith a view to resale in this market. Manu factures and holders of cloth generally entertain the opinion that, whatever change may take place with re gard to cotton, the limited quantity of cloth on hand and now producing will insure high prices for some time to come. A great influx of cotton, it is thought, might tem porarily send down prices, but the reaction would be suffi cient, with the present scarcity of cloth, to secure them from much loss. The new fibres propos e d as su b s tit u t es for cotton engage more and more attention. The trade generally do not believe in them. Flax cotton, China grass, and various other substitutes were tried years ago, during a partial dearth of cotton, and many manufacturers spent considerable sums of money in experiments, and were obliged to abandon them. Still there are many who, after living to see the inventions of the last 30 years, have vague impressions that something m BY come of th e many a tt em pt s made to find a substitute. So.me are even sanguine of such a result. " Fabrics may be p reduced," they say, " which are not identical with cotton, b ut which it is not improbable may be cheap enough, and of g pod quality enough, to outer SCOTTISH CENTRAL. The directors state in their report that the expenditure on capital account during the past half-year amounted to £9,263, of which works and stations absorbed £2,377. Under the head of waggon account a further sum of £5,238 had been paid. During the half-year £12,700 had been received on account of irredeemable 4 per cent, debenture stock, making a total of £242,880 issued in lieu of an equal amount of fluctuating debenture debt. The revenue of the half year had been injuriously affected by the continued depres sion of trade. The International Exhibition has also con tributed to depress the passenger receipts, as it has attracted large numbers to the south, and disturbed the regular course of traffic. The traffic receipts for the half year ending 31st July amounted to £86,265 against £87,165 for the corres ponding period of 1861, showing a decrease of £9OO. This deficiency is augmented by the large payment of £3,086 made by this company to the Caledonian, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Dundee and Perth Companies, under the quadruple agreement for the half year ending 31st January last. This was £2,474 in excess of what was paid in the corresponding period, and swells the net decrease on the half year to £3,374. This payment is owing to the receipts of this company during the half year in question being in excess of the proportion assigned to them under the agree ment. Such payments depend entirely upon the progress made by the respective companies. If any of the four earns a larger proportion than the value originally assigned to it under the agreement, a payment has to be made by that company to its partners. The expenditure amounted to £56,483 against £54,592, showing an increase of £1,891. The available balance, including £1,575, brought from the preceding half year, amounts to £28,272, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5/ per cent. per annum on £1,045,000, payable on the Ist Oct., leaving £B4O. The surplus fund shows a total of £11,875. The directors express their undiminished confidence in the re sources of the line, and their belief that when the tempo rary depression shall have passed away the company will continue to progress as it has hitherto done. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OF IRELAND. The report of the directors states that on the line from Dublin to Athlone, and the Athenry and Tuam and Long ford and Cavan branches, the traffic receipts for the past half year amounted to £89,947, against £89,889 in the cor responding half of 1861, showing an increase of £.58. The receipts from the railway and canal were £99,843, and the disbursements £52,299, leaving a balance of £47,544. To this was added the surplus from last half year of £5,124, leaving a disposable sum of £52,668, out of which the direc tors recommended that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, amounting to £49,321, be declared on the paid-up capital of the company, carrying over a balance of £3,346. The accounts of the extension from Athlone to Galway had been examined by the Go vernment auditor, and showed a deficiency on the gross re ceipts of £2,410 as compared with the corresponding half of 1861, owing to which there was a debit against the ba ronies of £1,058 on this account. The traffic from the Royal Canal showed a net increase of £243. The traffic on the Athenry and Tuam branch, leased by this company for ten years from 1860, still showed a decrease on the working.

The report Gf the directors states that the surplus revenue for the half-year available for dividend, including the balance of X 1,14.-8 brought from the preceding half-year, amounted to £1,473. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend of 1 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of 1 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £341 for next account. The receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £6,698, against £6,824 for the corres • ponding half of 1861, showing a decrease of £126. The Board made an application to the Great Southern and Western Railway Company to take a lease of the line for ten years, renewable for ever, at such a rent as would pro • duce 2/ per cent. on the original shares of the company. This proposal was declined, and the Board appointed a deputation to wait on the directors of the Great Southern and Western Company, which resulted in a proposition to lease the line in perpetuity at 2 per cent. per annum. This proposition was submitted to the committee of shareholders appointed at the last half-yearly meeting to confer with the directors as to the sale or lease of the line, and the com mittee informed the Board that, after anxious consideration of the subject, they were determined to advise the share holders not to entertain so low an offer, and subsequently made a proposal to lease the line at 21 per cent. per annum, or to accept £7 of original stock of the Great Southern and Western Company in lieu of the £l2 shares of the Irish South-Eastern Company. This proposition was declined by the Great Southern and Western Company. The Bagenals town and Wexford line was opened to Ballywilliam in March last, but the traffic arrangements were as yet in such an incomplete state that no beneficial result had been received by this company from the extension. The capital account to the 30th of June showed that £317,803 had been received, and £312,841 expended, including £50,000 invested in the Bagenalstown and Wexford Rail way, leaving a balance of £5,052. The revenue account for the half-year showed that £6,702 had been received, and £4,404 expended, leaving a balance of £2,298. Out of this was deducted £1,973 for interest on loans, leaving £325. TILE SUSPECTED MURDER OF AN ARZIST AT PLYMOUTH. PLYMOUTH, MONDAY. The inquest on the body of Mr. W. T. Norman, artist, who was yesterday found dead under myste rious circumstances, was held this evening before A. B. Bone, Esq., coroner. Evidence of the finding of the body and the ap pearances as already detailed having been given, Henry Ralph gave the following extraordinary evidence :—Re said that he was a lamplighter, and at four o'clock or. Sunday morning he went through the Pennycomequick-archway to put out the lamp, and near the archway he saw the body of a man lying on his back across the path, not over the kerb. He thought he heard him breathing, and took no notice of him and passed on. It was dark and raining in torrents. There was a lamp 20 or 30 feet off. He thought the man was drunk. The witness was cross-examined, but only re peated the same story. The Coroner severely censured him for his utter want of all consideration in not stopping to see whether the man was dead or alive. It was the most extraordinary case of apathy he had ever heard of, and probably might have cost deceased his life. Waiters from the Globe and another inn deposed to having served deceased with refreshments on Sa turday evening. Deceased " had been drinking, but appeared capable of taking care of himself." At the latter place " he seemed a little the worse for liquor." He did not there say that he had sold two paintings that day. He had on a pair of new boots. (When he left home he had on old ones, and must have obtained money to buy the others.) He left home about half-past eleven. Mr. Be la Rue, surgeon, described the state of the body and injuries. There were abrasions above the chin, on the rose, and the left eye; also abra sions on the wrist and knee-cap. At the back of the head, just behind the right ear, was an incised jagged wound one inch long and half an inch deep, extending down to the bone. There was no contu sion or bruise about the wound. Hemorrhage from the wound was the immediate cause of death. The rest of the body was extremely healthy. The de ceased might have been alive when the lamplighter went by. Mr4dwards was recalled, and, in reply to a jury man, stated that there was no blood on the ground where the body was found. Several unimportant witnesses having been ex amined, the Coroner summed up. The Jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict thut William Thomas Norman, on the 14th day of September inst., was found dead near the Penny comequick railway arch. That the said William T. Norman died from hemorrhage, caused by a wound upon his head, but how or by what means such wound was caused, no evidence appears to the jurors to show. THE ALLEGED STARVATION OF A FAMILY. Yesterday the inquiry respecting the alleged death from starvation of Mrs. Charlotte Crippin, aged 45, and the dreadful sufferings of her family, was resumed by Mr. H. Raffles, Walthew, the depaty coroner, at the Grasshopper Tavern, Church street, Whitecbapel. It will be recollected that a Mrs. Welland, resid ing at No. 12, Wellclose-square, hearing that a family were perishing from starvation at No. 14, went there and found Mrs. Crippin and two chil dren lying on a mattress, and reduced to mere skin and bone. Mrs. Crippin said that her husband had left them in that condition. They were re moved to the union -house, where Mrs Crippin died in a few days. George Crippin, her husband de posed that he was not to blame for the calamity, but was compelled against his urgent entreaties to remove his wife and children from the union -house, at a time when he had not a halfpenny to buy them a morsel of food. Upon the coroner taking his seat the brother of George Crippin stated that be was lying danger ously ill, and could not be present to-day, but there was a witness who could corroborate his statement with reference to the conduct of the workhouse authorities, whom he would wish to produce. William Couper, a bricklayer, said that he knew Crippin and his wife for 17 years, and Crippin was a very kind h u sb an d.

Eaves, assistant ssistant relieving-officer to the Whitechapel Union, said—l recollect Mrs. Crippin aPPlYing for relief on the 4th July. She said her husband had neglected her, and she was starving Oa that statement she was admitted the same day. On the following Tuesday she repeated the state ment before the board of guardians, and they or dered th a t procee di ngs s hould b e taken against the husband. On the Thursday I went to the Music Hall, Wellclose-square, and saw Crippin standing in front of the bar. I put my hand on his shoulder and called him into the street, and asked him where was his wife and child:en. He first said " I wish I could hear she was dead." I said, " She is not dead, but in the workhouse." " Yes, so I believe," he replied. He said- it was not true h e h a d desert e d her, that he was going to take her out, and he had taken a room at 14, Wellclose-square, to which he would remove her if he got two or three days' time, as he had work to go to, I sa id , "V ery we ll , I w i ll mention that to the relieving officer, and it will not be objected to, I dare say." On the Saturday he HE ARMY. A Royal warrant, signed by Sir G, C.
