MONEY MARKET lAND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The inquiries for discount accommodation are still rather extensive, and there seems to be some expectation of a further advance in the Bank rate of discount to-morrow. It is observed, however, that the pressure has been diminished, and that the wihdrawals of gold. from the Bank have received a check, in consequence of the supplies derived from the recent Australian arrivals. The directors, therefore, may not find it necessary to modify their regulations at present. Full rates are, neverthe- less, enforced. Bills of the highest character hav ing only a few days to run may be negotiated on rather lower terms, but in other respects the market presents a very firm appearance. In the foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, no material alteration took place, except in the rates on Holland, which were slightly higher. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no withdrawals of gold, the continental demand being for the present supplied by the arrivals from Aus tralia and America. The Morning Star has arrived this morning from Australia, with £34,632. The Ceylon, which leaves to•morrow, will take out £197,358 in silver for Bombay, and £50,000 in gold for Malta, making a total of £247,358. Of this amount £150,000 is forwarded on Government ac count. Letters from Liverpool report that, in the Cotton Market yesterday, business was moderately active, and the previous advance was fully maintained. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and in most instances a further improvement took place. At the public sales of indigo, which commenced Yesterday, 11,614 chests were brought forward. The opening sale is thus described by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co : The biddings were slow and flat, neither buyers nor sellers having determined how to proceed ; the disposition of buyers was evidently not to bid except at a great reduc tion in price, consequently many parcels were withdrawn, and the large number of 3,395 chests have passed, a small quantity only has been sold, and those consisted chiefly of ordinary Madras and Kurpah ; both home and foreign buyers have acted with the same degree of caution. Bengal qualities ruled 6d. to 9d. per lb. lower ; Madras par to 3d. Per lb. lower, and Kurpah 6d. per lb. lower. A special meeting of the propristors of the Gee long and Melbourne Railway Company took place to - day—Mr. Potter in the chair—for the purpose of considering the terms offered by the Government of Victoria for the purchase of the above railway. The Chairman having explained the advantages of agreeing to the sale of the railway on the condi tions proposed by the Government, the resolutions Were severally put and agreed to, an amendment for the adjournment of the meeting to the 16th inst. having been negatived. The terms are the follow ing :- 1, That an authentic statement of the whole expenditure and liabilities be furnished. 2. That the assent of the proprietors be obtained. 3 . That the Government be authorised to pay in cash for the entire property of the company, such payment to be charged on the sum of £8,000,000 already authorised by Parliament for the construction of railways. 4. That, on notification of the terms proposed, a bill be submitted to Parliament enabling the Government to carry into effect the terms of purchase agreed upon. long discussion took place about the neglect of the Government in paying the interest, and a resolution was passed on the part of the proprietors relying on the Government of - Victoria paying up all the interest in arrear under the terms in which their proposition was first issued. The meeting then adjourned. The market for Public Securities continues quiet, and the small amount of business transacted has caused very little fluctuation. Upon the whole the Funds are well supported, and the steady purchases affected by the public occasionally produce symp toms of buoyancy. Consols are about 911 I for rn money and a ccoun t. Bank Stock is steady at 219. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 904 to - 1 ; the New 21 per Cents. are firm at 761 ; Exchequer Bills at 20s. to 245. prem., and India Loan Debentures at 931. The New India Loan Scrip is marked 921 t, being 21 to 21 discount. A fair amount of business is recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices, in most in- Stances, are rather firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 63 to 66 ; ditto New, 53 to 55 ; and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 99-1 ; Austrian 5 per Cents. to 401, Dutch 21 per Cents. to 581, ditto 4 per Cents. -to 90 and 91, Sardinian to 73 and 76, Portuguese to 40, and Brazilian 5 per Cents. to 98, but the 41 per Cents. have receded to 881 891, Grenada Deferred to 41, Russian 5 per Cents. to 101, and ditto . 41 per Cents. to 911. ' In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been very limited, prices, with one or two excep tions, being fairly supported. North Eastern (Ber wick) and North Eastern (York) have improved ss. ; and Brighton and South Eastern, 10s. ; Caledonian and London and Blackwall have declined ss. ; and Lancashire and. Yorkshire, £1; Eastern Counties, Midland, North British, and Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton were at about former rates. The Foreign undertakings have been very quiet. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares were dealt in at 5 L and the New at 41, the latest quotations being 5 5 9 and 41 5 respectively. 4 _ 2 In the Colonial Markets no material alteration has taken place. Great Indian Peninsula are 93 to 94, East Indian 95 to 96, and Grand Trunk of Canada 30s. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are inactive at about former quotations.

The deceased was a son of the late Colonel Henry Hervey Aston by the fourth daugh ter and co-heir of the last Viscount Irvine, and was great grandson of the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Henry Hervey, who as sumed the name of Aston, and who was fifth son of the first Earl of Bristol. He was born in London in 1798, and r eceived the degree of M.A. from the University of Oxford In 18 17. In April, 1819, he became attached to the embassy at Vienna, and was made Secretary of Legation at Rio de Janeiro in April, 1826. Nearly seven years afterwards , namely, in January, 1833, he was appointed Secretary of the Embassy at Paris, and was Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid from February, 1840, to Nov em b er , 1848. He received the Order of the Bath on returning to England. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.071 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.1 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 11 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slightly in favour of England ;"and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of into.: rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor • tation of gold from the United States.

MINSHALL. Mrs. Bernard, by her will, left her property real and personal, with a power of appointment tolthe plaintiff, her husband, Mr. Thomas Bernard, absolutely. And as to a sum of £13,000, with the exception of £2,000 to himself, she directed him, after applying the interest or annual rents of the residue of this sum to his own use, by his will to dispose of the remainder, " according to her wishes often expressed to him in words." The plaintiff did not recollect any wishes expressed to him by his wife as to the disposal of this money, and claimed the whole as his absolute property, The defendants, as next of kin, claimed it as intestacy. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said he was precluded from judging in this •-tase by the decisions of the Court. He was, however, of opinion that there was no intestacy, and that the husband, Mr. Bernard, was entitled to take the £13,000 in question as his absolute property, in addition to the real and personal estate devised to him by his wife's will, and decreed accordingly. Costs of the special case to be allowed to all parties. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT. (Before Sir W. P. Wood.) aYE V. GRAZIANI AND EfitiTil. —THE RIVAL ITALIAN 2i i 131 I 8 litusinese don. OrtRAS. The hearing of this motion for an interim injunction, made by Mr. Gye, of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, to prevent Signor Graziani singing at Drury-lane Theatre, was resumed this morning. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., on behalf of Signor Graziani, said the position of the case stood exactly as it did on the 6th of January, and had not been in the slightest degree varied by what had taken place. His learned friend (Mr. Rolt) had argued that he would be entitled to the injunction, if he succeeded in establishing to the satisfaction of the Court that there was a question to be tried of the hearing of the cause ; but he contended he would have something more to establish. The present was a case in which the plaintiff ought to be called upon to show why he did not invoke the aid of the Court in January last, instead of waiting until the present moment. The plaintiff, no doubt. had excellent reasons operating on his mind which induced him to delay this application. It had been said on the other side, as some justification for the course they had adopted, that they had not had time to cross- examine Mr. E. T. Smith, one of the defendants ; but he had tendered Mr. Smith on Monday, and he had offered that this motion should be taken with all its informalities on the hearing of the cause. That pro position was rejected, and the plaintiff preferred having the motion dealt with as an interlocutory motion. In this form it would have precisely the same effect as in the - Lumley and Wagner case; for, although the application was only interlocutory, the injunction, if granted, would be to all intents and purposes a final decision. He had, under those circumstsnces, given the plain tiff an opportunity of having the case tried in the form of a hearing, and that proposition at once cut away from him all ground of complaint. The injunction now asked for against Graziani was that he might be restrained by the order and injunction of this honourable court from violating or committing any breach of his agreement with the plain tiff; that the defendant (Francisco Graziani) might, in like mariner, be restrained from singing at any theatre or con cert in the kingdom of Great Britain, out of the Royal Italian Opera, during the year 1859, without the written permission of the plaintiff, save and except at private and gratis concerts, and, in particular, that he might be re strained from singing at the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, during the year 1859, without such written consent as aforesaid. As far as Mr. Smith was concerned, the motion was to prevent him from inducing Signor Graziani to sing at his theatre. Now, from the nature of the injunction he contended that it was not enough fn. the plaintiff to say there was .a question to try at the hear ing of the cause, because that would, be an injustice to the defendant. The Court must, therefore, see whether there was a question to be tried at the hearing before granting the in terim injunction, because if the Court granted the applica tion it amounted to a final settlement of the dispute between the parties. The question he (Mr. Daniels) thought for the Court to settle was which of the two parties would be most injured, supposing the injunction was granted which would preclude Graziani singing until the hearing of the cause. Suppose plaintiff fails to show, when the cause comes on for hearing, that there is any question? Until that period, which might be very remote, Graziani would be prevented from singing anywhere, without the written permission of Mr. Gye. The Signor had been treated as a very unimportant member of the plaintiff's company, so it wits clear he could not suffer much injury from his not singing at Covent garden. The real object, however, was to see how far in jury could be inflicted upon Graziani and Mr. E. T. Smith. Rightly or wrongly, on the 6th of January, Graziani wrote to Gye from Paris, stating that as he had not been paid the 4,000 francs due to him from Gye, he (Graziani) considered himself free from all engagement to him, and that he insisted on the propriety of not announcing his name in the programme for the Royal Italian Opera, Covent- Garden, 1859. It was perfectly evident that throughout the whole transaction, Smith had acted with perfect openness and sincerity k. had HI/ —...,eann g ms negotiations from Mr. Gye, for it was evident that by making the matter public, and by giving up all the docu ments he, it was perfectly clear, considered that the con tract between Graziani and Smith was at an end. One of the reasons why Graziani had broken with Gye was, that Mr. A, Harris had inserted a clause that Graziani should sing at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, until the year 1861, without his properly understanding such to be the case. His Honour—Who is Mr. Harris ? Mr. Daniel—The stage manager at Covent-gardeh—Mr. Gye's factotum. When Graziani's attention was called to the engagement he had signed his Italian blood grew hot, and he immediately went in search of Harris and met him in a cafe, where he publicly charged Harris with having deceived him, and as Harris himself states, publicly in sulted him. It was also urged that Graziani had expressly stipulated that he would not renew his engagement with Gyo until all arrears between them were cleared up, and it was perfectly clear that this money had not been paid until after he had signed the contract with Mr. Smith. Of course such a proceeding was calculated to annoy Mr. Gye, and the result was that an ill-feeling grew up between the parties, and when Graziani met Mr. Gye in Paris he told he had been grossly deceived, and that he would rather starve than sing at Covent-garden. The learned counsel then referred to the cross-examination of Mr. Mapleson, Mr. Smith's musical agent. He said it there appeared that Mr. Gye so closely followed up Graziani that he even went behind the scenes at the Opera-house in Paris, and just at the moment when the Signor was about to go upon the stage, and it was requisite that he should be calm and col lected, he selected that particular time to commence his importunities, which threw Graziani into suc h a state of confusion as to nearly ruin his professional prosperity. This statement was received with the greatest apparent astonishment, and some laughter by Mr. Gye and his friends, who occupied seats nearly opposite the learned counsel. Reference was then made to the evidence of the persons examine d at the Examiner's office, and the learned counsel concluded by forcibly stating his opinion that the Court could not grant the injunction asked for, as it was clear that Graziani made the payment of the arrears of salary a clear stipulation before signing the engagement for 1859, and that not having been complied with he was at liberty to make the best engagement he could. The Vice-Chancellor, at the conclusion of the arguments, granted the injunction as far as regards Drury-lane Thea tre, and, under certain conditions, to other places in London RAMSGATE COUNTY COURT. (Beforo Mr. Harwood.) SALVAGE:-NOVEL AND IMPORTANT CASE--BAKER V. WILLIAMS. Plaintiff, who sued by his next friend, being a minor, is apprenticed to defendant, a mariner of Ramsgate, sought to recover the sum of £37 4R. ld. being one-seventh share of £250 gained in a " hovening matter." Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, London, appeared for the defendant. It appeared that on the 2d Februlry last, the brig Glide was in distress in the North Sea, about 70 miles from Ramsgate. Defendant, plaintiff, and five more put to sea to succour the brig and succeeded in saving her, and for so doing received £250. Now, it was contended that, although plaintiff was an ap prentice to defendant, yet this was work out of the ordinary course of a mariner's life, and that he should share the salvage money with the rest of the boat's crew. Mr. Buchanan contended that plaintiff could not re cover, he being only an apprentice, and as such clearly not entitled. He could call seven, witnesses, men connected with the sea all their lives, and they would state that they never know a case in which an apprentice had claimed a share in the salvage money. Sometimes a small present was made by the master. His Honour reserved judgment. REDMOND V. BRADFORD-WEDDED BLISS. This was a new trial, and the action was brought to re cover £2 2s. board and necessaries supplied to defendant's wife, alleged to have been abandoned by defendant. Mr. Buchanan said that defendant never abandoned his wife. In fact, it was the wife who abandoned him, and she took with her when she deserted her home some of the furniture, which had since been returned by plaintiff. Defendant had allowed his wife ss, per week, and was quite willing to receive her if she would come home. He had desired plaintiff not to harbour Mrs. Bradford, but no notice had been paid to his request. Under these circum stances he did not, see how plaintiff could recover after being made acquainted with the circumstances. His Honour gave plaintiff a verdict. CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.—ST. JAMES'S HALL. — Ws Excellency the Minister of the United States, accom panied by Mrs. Dallas and the Misses Dallas and party, honoured the performance of the Christy's Minstrels with his presence last evening. The hall was tastefully and ele gantly decorated for the occasion with flags and flowers, and his Excellency nor and Peirce the great pl easur e he had derived from the performance. was pleased to express to Messrs. Ray- CRIMINAL CO unT.— ( TRIS DAY.) OLD COURT. CHARGE OF ARSON. Emma Eliza Fabourd was indicted for feloniously at tempting to set fire to the dwelling-house of Mary Waldren, with intent to injure her. Upon the evidence it appeared that the prisoner is the daughter-in-law of the prosecutrix, who resided in Green walk, Blackfriars-road. The house was in the occupation of the prosecutrix, and let out in lodgings to a number of poor people. On the 3d of April, shortly after twelve o'clock at night, one of the lodgers, who was in bed, heard a noise of the street door opening, and shortly afterwards he heard a lucifer-match struck and the door again closed. Such a circumstance appeared to him to look suspicious, especially as frequent attempts had been made to set fire to the house, and he got out of bed, and saw a bright light in the back kitchen. He raised analarm, and he and another lodger proceeded to the room and there found a quantity of clothes on fire, which they immediately extinguished. While they were thus engaged a knock was heard at the street door, which turned out to be the prisoner, who asked if her husband Frank was there. She was told he was not, and then she asked what was the matter, when Mrs. Denn, one of the lodgers told her that she had carried out her threat of setting the house on fire. A policeman was sent for, who, on his arrival, asked the prisoner how she got into the house. She told him one of the lodgers let her in, and that she had no other means of obtaining admission to the house. On being asked what she had in her pocket, she said nothing of any consequence ; but on examination a box elf lucifers was found there and a latch key, which opened the door. She was asked to account for the possession of the latch key, which she did by saying some person must have put it into her pocket. From various other suspicions, coupled with the fact that she was on bad terms with the prosecutor, she was charged with the offence. The trial, owing to the number of witnesses to examine, would last the whole of the day. The trial of Hughes, who stands indicted with wilfully damaging the paintings and sculpture in Marylebone Church, was called on this morning, but owing to the absence of some of the parties concerned was postponed until to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,-(TRIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE SUICIbE MANIA.—Mary Anne Walsh, a wretched- Looking creature with a child in her arms, was charged with threatening to commit suicide. The police-constable, 498, said he saw the prisoner in Thames-•street about half past two o'clock this morning, and received instructions to watch her. She had the child in her arms at that time. The witness lost sight of her and in about- ten minutes afterwards discovered her in Miles'-lane. She had covered the poor baby over with a petticoat, and she told the constable that she intended to drown herself, but could not injure her child. She was at once taken into custody. Upon being placed in the dock the poor woman sobbed bitterly and covered her face with her hands. The child, all unconscious of the woe of its afflicted mother, prattled merrily in the dock, and the manner in which it caressed and played with the iron that shut out liberty from its wretched parent was really affecting. The prisoner said she had been earning a living as a needlewoman, but a girl who was living with her had robbed her of almost every thing in her room. She was destitute, and in that state had sought to destroy herself. She now truly repented, and if his lordship would discharge her she would never take a like course again. His Lordship said he would send the prisoner to the gaol infirmary for a week. It would be better for her, and she would be well attended to. She would not be imprisoned. 2 The prisoner was then removed. GUILDHALL. ALLEGED PERJURY.-Mr. Castrique, described as a merchant, appeared upon a summons to answer a charge preferred by Mr. Charles Twynham. Mr. Francis was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Philp appeared for the defendant. - Mr. Francis stated that this was a case of perjury arising out of proceedings in the Court of Exchequer in July last. The complainant is a civil engineer of London and Wool wick, and the defendant is a merchant of the City of Lon don. The alleged perjury arose out of some cash and_ cheque transactions, and was about to be stated in the tvi dence as under until stopped by Mr. Philp. Mr. Charles Twynham said—l am a civil er,gineer. I live at Woolwich. I carry on business at 111, Fenchurch steeet. Mr. Philp (who appeared for the defendant) said the case could not go on until the recopl. was read. Mr. Francis said he woul!i put the attorney in the box to prove there was a reco;•d, Mr. Martin (cblef clerk) thought the case could go on conditionally. Mr. PLllp—This is most irregular, and I can't allow it to go on. Mr. Francis—You won't press the objection. Mr. Philp—ludeod, I shall. My client is a most respee tablo man of the city of London, and I shall do all I can to servo him. Mr. Francis saw there was a difficulty, and as an adjourn ment had been asked for, he would consent to one for Saturday next at eleven o'clock. The Alderman saw by the act that Mr. Francis could not go on without the record, and the case was finally adjourned to Saturday at eleven o'clock. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS ROBBERY AT AN ORGAN BUILDER'S.— Charles Dixon, errand boy in the employ of Mr. Thomas J. Robson, organ builder, of St. Martin's-lane, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a quantity of silver organ pipe. From the evidence of Mr. Edmund Robson, brother to the prosecutor, it appeared that on going into the workshop he found a piece of silver pipe with some wood. He spoke to his brother, and on examination it was found to have been taken from an organ left with them to take charge of by Mr. Wm. Brougham, brother of Lord Brougham, and appeared to have been recently broken off. A watch was kept on the premises, and immediately after the prisoner left the piece of pipe which he had replaced where he found it was gone. Mr. Thomas Joseph Robson, the prosecutor, said the prisoner had been in his employ four or five years as errand boy. From information given to him by his brother, he went in a cab to Newland-street, Pimlico, and, after wait ing some time, the 'prisoner walked . up to the house No. 30. He then told him that he had lost some property, and asked him if he would go back to St. Martin's-lane, which he consented to do ; and, on getting there, he told him he had missed a quantity of pipe, that he was suspected, and would be searched. He then took from his pocket a piece of pipe, saying he had stolen it. He had been missing pipe of various dimensions for three weeks-28 pieces, worth about £2B. The prisoner admitted selling it all but two pieces, which he had at his lodgings. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Maria Smith, a woman about 23 years of age, who, notwithstanding a life of vice, dissi pation, and drink, bore traces of former beauty, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit suicide. James Stocker, a police-constable, 66 K, stated that, abOut half• past twelve or a quarter before one this morning, he was on duty in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, and heard the springing of rattles in the London Dock. He went to the bridge in the middle of the lane, over the lock entrance, and saw a Custom-house officer and others taking the prisoner out of the water, after she had twice gone down. On being landed the prisoner was quite in sensible, and it was some time before animation was restored. The witness added that many unfortunate women had drowned themselves in the same place,'Where there was a great depth of water, and others who had thrown themselves into the lock had been taken out alive. Mr. Selfe—Yes, I know it. The new Gravel-lane bridge is the Tarpeian rock of the district. William Smith, a Custom-house officer, heard a scream and a splash this morning, while he wai on duty in the London Dock, and obtained the drags and took the woman out of the water. The prisoner said she was very drunk last night, and was very sorry for what she had done, and would not do it again. Mr. Selfe questioned the prisoner, who said she came from Carlisle six or seven years ago, and had been on the town about three years and a-half. She had n o parents living, but had relatives in Barking, and a step-father named Smith, a confectioner, near the Micklegate, in Carlisle. She would be glad to aban don her wretched life if she could obtain admission to a refuge. Some girls boat her yesterday and that preyed upon her mind. A woman from that sink of iniquity, Angel Gardens, Shadwell, which contains infamous brothels only, here said the prisoner fell from a garret window into the street about nine months ago, and injured her head very seriously in deed, and when she had a little drink she was raving mad. Mr. Selfe said he would endeavour to rescue the unfor tunate woman from her fallen condition, and he would re mand her in the first instance to the House of Detention for a week, where she would receive the spiritual advice of the worthy chaplain of that prison.

CORN EXCHANGE. The greater portion of Monday's unsold supply of Eng lish wheat was on offer here to-clay, and several samples were received fresh up from Essex and Kent. In all kinds only a moderate busmess was transacted, and prices may be called 7s to 8s per quarter lower than on this day se'en.- night. There was very little inquiry for foreign wheat, the show of which was good, and to force sales further depressed rates must have been submitted to. Foreign barley wag very firm in /mice, and the demand for English may be called steady. The malt trade ruled healthy at extreme rates. We have had a very dull sale for oats on rather easier terms. Beans, peas, and flour were very dull at barely stationary prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

DEATH OF MRS. DOUGLAS JERROLD.—We much regret to announce that Mrs. Jerrold, widow of the late Douglas Jerrold, expired on Friday night last, the 6th inst., at her residence, Fairfield Villa., near Bre adstairs Kent. The health of Mrs. Jer ro ld had been gradually de clining since her lamented husband's death, which sad event she survived not quite two years. DEATH OF MR. FAGAN, M.P.—Mr. Wm. Fagan, who was re-elected a day or two ago after an almost unpre cedented contest, for the city of Cork, in conjunction with Mr. Beamish, died on Monday last: The hon. gentleman had been ailing for some time and was unable to attend to his Parliamentary duties during the last few weeks of the session. Mr. Fagan was born in Cork, in 1801, and was educated at Southall-p ar k, Middl esex . H e was an alderman ' of the city of Cork, and served the office of mayor some years since. H e took an active part in the repeal agitation, and was a personal friend of the late Mr. O'Connell. The hon. gentleman first entered Parliament in 1847, but retired in 1851. He was re-elected in 1852, on the occasion of the general election consequent on the accession to office of the Earl of Derby, and represented his native city until the period of his demise. As a merchant he was extensi▪ vely engaged in the trade of Cork.

The announcement on Thursday by some of the Dublin papers of the death of Thomas Jessop was premature, as it was not until Friday that he breathed his last. An inquest was held on Satur day by Mr. T. Fetherston, one of. the coroners for the county of Westmeath, when the fads respecting the assassination, which we have already published, were fully detailed. The evidence of Mr. T. Claffy, one of the most respectable farmers of the neighbourhood, is especially worthy of notice, as depicting the state of terrorism which prevails in his part of the county. He deposed that he left Kilbeggan in his tax-cart at half-past three o'clock on Saturday, the 31st ultimo ; that he was immediately followed by another farmer, Mr. Patrick Fay, on a jaunting-car ; that when they had proceeded about a mile and a half from Kilbeggan they heard two shots in rapid succession a short distance before them, and that they saw the smoke of firearms ; that on arriving nearer the spot they saw a man holding a horse attached to a cart ; that Thomas Jessop advanced towards them from behind the cart with a pistol in his hand; that witness was at once struck with a conviction that Jessop had been shot for taking Kelly's farm ; and that his (witness's) first impulse was to turn back to Kilbeggaia and give information to the police, but that he was dissuaded by Fay, who said it would be better to acquaint the Ballinagore police on their way home (Ballinapore being about the same distance as Kilbeggan) ; , that meanwhile Jessop continued to walk towards thorn, and, having rested for a short time against a wall, he sank on the roadside; that two women came from an adjoining house and stood beside the wounded. man ; that witness and Fay drew up, the latter con versing for some time with the women ; that they (witness and Fay) then drove homewards, giving notice to the police as they passed through the village of. Ballinagore. On being asked by the coroner why he did not assist the wounded man to his own house, Mr. Claffy replied that he thought he was dead. " Why, then (said the coroner), did 'ou not call here (at the temporary barrack in which the inquest was held) and give information of the mur der to the police ?" The witness replied that he was so confused in his mind that he did not know what he was about. The other farmer, Patrick Fay, did not appear, and consequently had no opportunity of explaining his reasons for adopting the same line of conduct as Claffy. The medical attendants, Drs. Walsh° and Dorgan, having made a _pot mortem examination of Jessop's body, gave evidence as follows :—There were no fewer than six exter nal gunshot wounds situated on the right lumbar region. Some of the shots penetrated to the abdomen, and one pistol bullet traversed that por tion of bone known as the "spine of the ilium," fractured the "tranversc process," of one of the vertebrae, and lodged beside the navel. It is needless to state that the wounds were neces sarily mortal. How the poor fellow was able to walk home—a distance of upwards of half a mile —without assistance, and how he lived six days afterwards, are facts almost beyond comprehension. One of the women alluded to above was produced as a witness, but she could not, or would not, give any information. She swore that she did not know that Jessop was wounded ; that she did not recognize him at all ; that she thought he was some drunken man returning from the market, who had fallen on the side of the road. For some unexplained reason —probably because a meeting of magistrates was held on the same day in Kilbeggan—the men who have been arrested on suspicion were not produced at the inquest, and the verdict of the jury was accordingly " Wilful murder against some person unknown." The Lord Lieutenant has offered £lOO for the conviction of the murderer.—Dublin Post. CITY STREET HAWKERS.—Mr. D. W. Harvey, Commissioner of the City Police, has just issued the follow ing orders on this subject to the officers in charge of divi sions, viz. :—" The commissioner orders that the attention of the officers and constables be directed to the number of street hawkers daily to be observed obstructing the public thoroughfares of the city. The commissioner ditects that, in the first instance, these offenders be cautioned that they cannot be permitted to remain in the crowded streets, and in the event of any one of them, after being so informed, annoying passengers or impeding traffic during the busi ness hours of the day, that such persons so offending be brought before the magistrates to be dealt with according to law. The commissioner further orders that inhabi tantsthoseo_on who make complaint to the polio') of this cla: s s . f cases t per m sons of ders be requested to attend before the niagis th tra e where it may be found necessary to _"2 May 8."

The furnace was fully charged, and its contents were ready to be run off into moulds prepared to receive it. o th crurre , To effect this escape of the molten iron, the workmen assembled at betweeen 9 and 10 on Sunday m • ornmg. They were about to commence to tap the furnace when a portion of its front was blown out with a loud report, and at the same instant many tons of the 1 molten iron and red-hot scoria were forcedpuf upon them with terrible velocity. The six men who were to have engaged in the operation were in a moment enwrapped in flames, or shockingly mutilated by the 'burning mass. The two deceased presented a horrifying spect acle, their flesh hanging in torn and blackened pieces from their bones, yet they lingered till evening. Of the other four, three, there is reason to hope, will recover. The deceased are named Hugh Jones and James Wootton ; the survivor whose life is despaired of is Francis Briscoe. The other three are Joseph Wallet, Joseph Roberts, and Job Hendell. The surrounding buildings bear evidence of the excessive heat with which the e 1 i xp_os.on wonattienatts tended, as well as the extreme force with which t accident and the of the furnace escaped.
