MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the dealings during the last few days have been less animated. Tea has been neglected, owing to the approach of the public sales. Sugars have re mained at about previous prices, while coffee and rice have slightly declined. Saltpetre and tallow have continued dull, the latter article being quoted 465. per cwt. for P.Y.C. on the spot, and 48s. 9d. to 495. for last three mouths' delivery. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was more activity, and prices exhibited greater firmness. The sales were about 5,000 bales. There is a decrease of £1,645 in the traffic re ceipts of the South-Eastern Railway for the past week. Monday next has been appointed for a special settlement in the shares of the Indian Branch Rail ay, and of the East Clogan Gold Mining Company, and dcalings in both are to be officially recorded. The Ottoman Railway Debentures are also to be marked in the official lists. At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion operations were of an unimportant character. There is rather less demand for money, and the rates appear a shade easier. The majority of the railway traffic returns to be published this week will probably show a consi derable falling off, as the comparison lies with Whitsun week last year. The Brighton return shows a decrease of £3,677, and the South-Eastern a decrease of £1,645. The report of the directors of the Eastern Bengal Railway Company states that the chief works of the line will be finished by the 20th of Juno next, and that since the commencement of this year thoy have received the sum of £340,800 from the issue of debentures, making up with their previous receipts on that account, the whole of the amount of £400,000 authorised to be raised on debentures, and completing the necessary capital required to finish the construction of the line. The meeting - will take place on Friday, 30th inst. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. A vary small amount of business has been nego tiated in the market for public securities to-day, and the variation has been limited. Indications of buoyancy are nevertheless exhibited, and the ten 1 2 - dency of prices, notwithstanding the dullness of F speculation, is decidedly favourable. Consols have been 931 1 for transfer, and 92 921, ex dividend, for the 18th proximo, but they are now rather firmer, being 931 and 92-4-- respectively.

A further slight decline took place to-day in the Railway Share Market ; only a limited amount of business, however, was entered into.

Lasi, night "The O, 'ttoroon," certainly a much better d ra ma than "The P hlnt vui," was revived and 1 crowded audience. Mrs. ..Uillington sustained I ..l r r ew s. part i v ou7 ; cault's part of Zoo, but the author resumed his S a l em Scudder. The drama went off with great eclat ' and no doubt our country friends now on a visit to themetro polis will avail themse lves of the opportunity of witnessing this exciting drama. The " Colleen Bawn" is also in pro cess of revival, with new scenery, dresses, and appoint ments, so that those who have not yet seen this extra ordinarily successful drama will nov7 have that opportunity, and that of witnessing it in all its pristine beauty. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE Mr. and Mrs. Wigan commenced a short engagement at this theatre last evening, and appeared in Charles Selby's adaptation of " The Poor Nobleman." Both received a very cordial w e l come , a nd their performance was witnessed by a very large audience with evident gratification. The new extravaganza " Prince Amabel," seems to in crease nightly in attraction. *9 S HANOTER-SQUARE ROOMS.— Mada me PUZZI d anual concert is in var i a bl y one of t h e mos t brilliant an successful entertainment s o f th e season , t o which that of yesterday presented no exception. The rooms in Hanover square were indeed thronged with an elegant assembly, and the bill of fare tendered to them was of more than usual variety and excellence From the performers we may select the " Sisters Marchisio," Madame Lemmens- Sherrington, Mdlle. Parepa, Madame Lemaire, Miss A ugusta Thomson, Herr Reichardt, and M. Gassier, as having especially distinguished themselves among the voca lists, and 11i. Ascher, on the nianeforte, and Signor Pezze, ou the in the violonc e ll o, among the instrumentalists. The pieces than 20, numbered 25 an d the art i sts coun t e d more 2O, so that in reality the concert verged upon is what commonly denominated "monster." The majority of the company were ladies, and the applause in consequence -was faint in any part of the performance. While we were vresent, nevertheless. nen. Reichardt was encored in his o wn charming "Cradle 50 212 . 2 , nis Excellency Baron 13 i e ntinek s, we learn, suffer leg from a severe attack of influenza. SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY.

MARLBORIUGH-STREET, THIS DAY, ATTEMPTED III(11WSY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE,.-- FORTUNATE CAPTRE,—John Williams and John Carter (the latter of who= was only discharged yesterday owing to the absence of th prosecutor, a foreigner, who had been robbed of a watch,tnd who was then told by the magis trate that he had hd a lucky escape) were charged with attempting to rob Ir. Henry William Hayes, auctioneer and house agent, c No. 4, Great Marlborough-street. The prisoners ar a couple of determined fellows, and it is a most fortunatething they have been captured. Mr. Hayes was valking allng Long-acre, at two this morning, when th4prisoners, accompanied by two females, walked up to him,and Williams put his hand on his (Mr. Hayes') waistcoat pocket twice. He pushed Williams away twice, and Tas walking away, when he received a blow on the neck fnm Carter, and at the same time felt his hand in his coat pocket. Believing that the prisoners from the first mant to rob him, he turned round and knocked Carter dovn. lie (Mr. Hayes) then walked on into St. Martin's-I,n°, all of them surrounding him. The prisoners attacked him, and he defended himself till the police came up, wlen he gave them into custody. Mr. Wm. Tijo; mechanical engineer, Bridge-street, Westminster, coiroborated a portion of Mr. Hayes's evidence. - • Sergeant Joy, 9C, said both prisoners had repeatedly been convicted. The prisoners were fully commit ted for trial, DRENCHING A STIOEMATE.—OUTRAGEOUS PROCEED ING.—WiIIiam Glendon, a workman in the employ of Messrs. Edwards, tailors, Hanover-street, Bond-street, attended before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of Osmond Locke, a young man, living at 25, Wilton-terrace, Pimlico, also a workman in the same employ. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, and in opening the case said his client had to complain of an assault of the most outra geous description. The defendant and his companions had thought proper to make a law of their own in ordor to coerce their fellow-workmen. The complainant had been in the employ of Messrs. Edwards, respectable tailors, in tx v er-stretoL, iw. tsuuiu yealaa, o • t the day of the assault as usual, and continued to work for some hours, when he was requested by the defendant to send for a gallon of ale, and on the complainant's refusal the defendant raid that, if he did not, he should put him under the water butt. The complainant refusing to comply with the extortionate demand, the defendant and four or five others dragged the complainant down stairs, and placed him under the water tap, and there held him till he was thoroughly drenched, and in consequence the complainant had been under medical care. In addition to this the complainant had to leave his situation owing to the threats of the defendant. He (Mr. Lewis) felt it a case in which he must ask for a severe punishment. The complainant corroborated his advocate's statement, and said that being in a state of p ers p i ration at the time he had been very unwell, and obliged to se e k medical assis tance. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant said he was kept under the tap three minutes. A witness corroborated a portion of complainant's evi dence_ The defendant said that only a small quantity of water was thrown on the complainant. The object they had in view was to enforce more cleanliness in the workshop than hitherto, the complaisant not having put on a clean shirt. The defendant's statement was denied, and Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 40s. and costs, remarking that it was an outrageous affair. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY.

Lord BROUGHAM drew the attention of the noble earl the Secretary:of State for Foreign Affairs, to the provisions of the treaty lately entered into between this country ani the United States for the suppression of the slave trade. As the matter at present stood Porto Rico, a place that afforded great facilities for the landing of slaves was exempted from the operations of the treaty. He be lieved the American Government were perfectly sincere in wishing to put down the detestable trade; and if proper re presentations were made, he believed it would be possible to obtain such a modification as would bring that place within the operations of the treaty. Earl RUSSELL said he was confident the American Government were thoroughly in earnest in their wish to put a stop to the slave trade. With respect to the position of Porto Rico he could not, as the noble and learned lord well knew, give an offhand answer, but he was certain the Ame rican Government were quite ready to listen to any sugges tions that were calculated to make the treaty most effective. He would see that the point to which the noble and learned lord had referred was not overlooked. MUMBEE'S DIVORCE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. IRISH NATIONAL SCHOOLS. Viscount CLANCARTY roved for a copy of the memorial addressed in the month of March last to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland by the Bishop of Down rela tive to the use of the Holy Scriptures in the Irish national schools, and his lordship's reply thereto.

CUPOLA STEAMSHIPS. Mr. WILLIAMS asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if any money bad been paid to Captain Coles for his claim for the invention of the cupola iron tower for ships? Lord C. PAGET replied that no sum of money had as yet been paid to Captain Coles for his invention, but it was intended to grant to him, in consideration of his giving up the right of his patent to the Admiralty and the War office, a sum of £5,000, and, further, to allow him during the continuance of the patent a sum of £lOO for every shield that was manufactured under it, either for the use of the Admiralty or the War-office. EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day being read for the second reading of this bill, Thu Low: , ADYOGAII stated tnat it was not ins In tention to proceed with the measure this session, and he had therefore to move that the order for the second reading be discharged. B e did not do so from any opposition which the measure had encountered or was likely to encounter, but fr9m the course which had been adopted respecting it by those who were opposed to it, he considered that it would be but a waste of time to proceed with it this session, while he should, on a future day, move for leave to intro duce another bill on the subject, simply for the purpose that it might be printed and circulated during the vacation of Parliament, and receive the consideration of the country. After a few words from Lord H. SCOTT, who had an amendment on the paper, in opposition to the measuro; and Mr. BLACK, who considered that the announcement of the withdrawal of the bill would be received in Scotland with much disappointment, the motion that the order for the second reading of the bill be discharged was agreed to. The bill was accordingly withdrawn. HIGHWAYS BILL. On the order of the day being read for the house going into committee on this bill, Lord HENLEY objected to the measure, as it would en tail an immense additional expense upon counties, without any counteracting advantage. He had made a calculation of the additional expenses which the passing of the mea sure would entail upon the county of Northampton, which was a very small county, and he found that it would not be less than £3,000, or 10 per cent. ad ditional to what it was at present. The manner in which this expense was to be provided for was also objectionable. It was to be voted by the Court of Quarter Sessions, so that the ratepayers could have no voice in the matter whatever. (Hear, hear.) That he considered most objectionable, as it would be the means of creating a bone of contentio+ between the ratepayers and the magistrates. He would, therefore, suggest that before the magistrates divided counties into districts in terms of the clauses of this measure, they should first have the consent of a majority of the boards of guardians in the county. Mr. BENTINCK said ho had two principal objections to the measure, which were that it was too much of a cen tralising character and that it touched too much on the control which the ratepayers at present exercised over the management of the roads. If amendments were introduced obviating these he had no objection to the measure. Mr. NEWDEGATE said the feeling in the county of Warwick, which he represented, was as much against the measure as was that of the people of Northamptonshire, which had been referred to by the noble lord opposite. All that was wanted was to place the roads under a proper system of surveyorship, so that when the roads were not kept in a proper state of repair, the parties neglecting so to do might be liable to an indictment at the instance of such surveyor. With that alteration, the law, as it at present stood, would be quite sufficient. Ire must say that he was himself somewhat alarmed at the centralising character of this measure, as he saw no use whatever for the interfer ence of the Secretary of State in the matter. Mr. DODSON contended that so far from the measure inducing centralisation, it was a measure which gave addi tional power to the local district boards, so far as manage ment of the roads were concerned. The great defect of the present system was that the law could not be properly put in force, for what was everybody's business was nobody's business, and therefore the object was that each parish should have a board elected by the ratepayers for the pur pose of seeing that the law was carried out, and that the roads were kept in proper repair, Mr. ALCOCK said he was much indebted to the Go vernment for introducing this measure, as he considered the it would, if passed into la w, be of great advantage to country. Mr. A. SMITH objected to the creation of additional di s tricts as proposed by the measure, as they would b m eans of causing an i ncrease in the expense of manage ment. He had such objections to the measure, that if an amendment was moved for going into committee that day six months he should support it. Sir G. GREY said the bill was exactly the same as intro duced last year , and as he had fully explained its provi sions in moving the second reading of it, the could no thi n g now in exp lanation of it. There was no intention of anything like centralisation aimed at by the measure, but fact, gave th e rate p a y ers p owers whichmtheeaydied but it, not at present possess for the purpose of enabling them to have the roads placed under a proper system of supervision. Besides the measure was a permissive and not Et compulsory one, so that those counties who refused its operation could not have it forced upon them ; and as to the questi on o f expens e, he had no doubt that ultimately the measure would have the effe ct of reducin g r ather than increasing the expenses of the management of roads. Sir 111. RIDLEY considered that,while the measure had had a seve ral recommendations, it great many defects ; but at the same time many of the latter could be amended in committe. He hoped, therefore, the house would at once go into committee on the measure. The house then wentinto committee, and agreed to the several clauses. Some new clauses were also added to the bill, which was then reported, with amendments, to the house. The Merchant Shipping Acts Amendment:Bill was again committed, and the r ' • emauung clauses were considered and BRITISH POSSESSIONS Share Railways. 10 Atlantic &St Lawrence Bom.,Barodadr.Cent Ind Gu. 5 per cent. 106 Buffalo and Laxe Huron !06 Do.

AN UNPROVCMED ASSAULT—Mr. John Shoubrale, a cab proprietor, was charged before Mr. Woolrych with annoying the hackney coach attendant, at the cab stand, High-street, Whitechapel. Mr, Wontner was engaged for the prisoner. Police Constable Browning, H 132, said that on the pre vious afternoon he was called to the assistance of the hackney cab attendant, at the cab stand, High-street, Whitechapel. He went there and found him preventing the attendant from pursuing his calling. Witness spoke to him, and told him he was doing very wrong, and that he had better go away. He refused, and as he continued the annoyance, witness took him to the station-house. Mr. Wontner asked the witness if the prisoner offered any resistance to him ? The witness stated that the prisoner remarked, " I will not go away for such a ---- fool as y ou. ,, Mr. Wontner, in his cross examination, wished to show that the prisoner was violently assaulted at the station house, but this was denied. Mr. Wontner stated that there was in ill will on the part of .the attendant against his client, and that there was no ground for the charge. The prisoner was discharged.

The belief in this country appears to be that the successes of the Federal arms in the Southern States will not lead to any material or early increase in the supply of cotton, accompanied as those successes are by a wholesale system of cotton-burning by the Confederates themselves. It is only by a collation of the very conflicting accounts received from the spot that truth can be elicited. We therefore give below an extract of a late number of the Union, a journal published at Nashville, Tennessee,where the Federal authority has recently been re-established. Our readers must make such allowance as they may deem requisite for the bias of the local reporter : There is a great briskness in the cotton market at this point. Loads are constantly passing through the city on their way to the river. One boat, the day before yesterday, left with some 200 bales. Buyers are scouring the country in all directions, as far as the protection of the Union lines extends, and even further. The planters are acting like men of practical sense, and are quick:to trade. Good mid dling readily brings 16 to 17 cents in specie or United States Treasury notes, and 22 to 25 cents in current Tennessee paper. There is no holding back on the part of the planters. They all fully appre ciate the immense benefits which reviving trade will scatter over an almost bankrupt country. One thing has forced itself upon the minds of those even who were unwilling at first to admit the fact—inter ference with private property, which has not been included in th 3 rebellion, will not be made by Union troops. All parties now feel secure in this respect. Our fiends abroad may hail this as a sign of reviving ennmerce in Nashville. — from the Money Market-Review. THE GERMAJ CONFEDERATION.—ACCOrdiDg to information which we receive from a good channel we can give the important fact to our readers that next month will witness an assemby of Plenipotentiaries of different German States at Vienna, in order to deliberate on the project of a reform of the Confederation. The objects of their delibera tions will be, first, the convocation of delegates of the Ger man Constitutionhl Chambers, with a view to a general legislation for G e m a ny ; secondly, the composition of an executive power ; and thirdly, a Supreme Federal Court of Arbitration,—ooo /02011 d. 211 5&1 51 1141 15 32 3 72} t 1081 8 93f i 99 8} 1} p 83t i an 'all all all 100 all agreed to. The bill passed through committee and was re ported to the house. The County Surveyor's (Ireland) Bill was read a second The Companies, &c., Bill, and the Crown Private Estates Bill were passed through committee. The Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill and the Oxford University Bill were read a third time and passed. Sir H. STRACEY obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law for rendering more effectual the police in counties and boroughs in England and Wales. In committee of the whole house leave was given to Mr. GIBBON to bring in a bill for transferring from the Admi ralty to the Board of Trade certain powers and duties rela tive to harbours and navigation, under local and other ants, and for other purposes. The house then adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS ALLS'--YEsTERDAT. Considering the proximity of the great national race at Epsom, th e attendance the Corner this afternoon was not up to the average fo at r the week before the Derby, and the amount of business was correspondingly limited; nevertheless, some movements—commenced in the City, and followed at Hyde Park—were imbued with special in terest. The events of the Bath and Somerset meeting oc cupied some attention, and, although we can make no quotation upon the minor races, we may take this oppor tunity to mention that evens were betted on The Knave for his engagement in the Tenth Biennial, and in the Eleventh Biennial 7 to 4 was taken about .Etna and 2 to 1 about Escape. For the Somersetshire Stakes Dusk was in force both in the City and at the Corner, 5 to 2 being taken freely about him up to the termination of business; 6 to 1 was accepted " kindly " about West End, and Attaman, who was reported to have beaten Amy and Optimist in a trial, was freely supported at 7 to 1, a commission in his favour having been sent into the market early in the morning. Those next in request were Draghound and Costa, about whom respectively 8 and 10 to 1 were booked. For the Derby The Marquis held his position with much firmness, the form shown at York by his stable companions, Clop. rl7aunly and the, Wizard. having evidently given his friends fresh courage-100 to 30 was the highest offer against him at the close. Buckatone was again strongly supported this afternoon, 5 to 1 being very freely taken during Use course of business. Zetland was also in strong demand, and after the utmost industry and avidity had been exhibited during the morning in securing all the 12's to 1 obtainable, the demonstration was renewed at the Corner, and finally 11 to 1 could not be procured without much perseverance, a point less being booked in some few instances; 100 to 8 was taken occasionally about the Stock well colt. The movement connected with Caterer created some commotion, the current rumour being that he had " hit his leg" while at exercise, and in City circles he was temporarily driven to 40 to 1; but, ultimately recovering the first shock of that hostility, he came back, point by point, and left off at 100 to 7 (taken.) Ensign, who has been up and down in the market as often as an angler's " float" in roach fishing, was again backed to-day at 20 to 1, at which odds Neptunus was quiet. Some talk was once more made of Sir Joseph Hawley's lot, Duke Rollo, St. Alexis, and Argonaut, the trio being supported at the respective prices quoted below. Norroy, Baron Roths child's presumed " coming outsider," made a retrograde movement this afternoon, and was unsupported at offers at 50 to 1. Spite was completely knocked out; it was no secret that The Roe had galloped away from him in a trial this morning, and those entrusted with the office of " get ting out" had orders evidently to lay as much as they pos sibly could. Spite's case may, therefore, be set down as hopeless. An offer was made during the afternoon that the field beat 20. The Bath meeting so often involves the fate of the favou rites that some anxiety is felt among backers of horses to discover how the most prominent will come out of that ordeal.

MATCH BETWEEN JAMES MILES (OF BRIXTON) AND J. OLIVER (OF CHELSEA) FOR £lOO A-SlDE.—Since the match between Miles and Spooner, on the 19th Feb. (when they contended for the championship, the distance being 14 miles), there has been no event decided that has pro duced more interest than the present match, which took place yesterday on Mr. John Gariatt's enclosed ground at Wandsworth. There could not have been less than from 2,000 to 3,000 spectators. The betting was of a spirited de scription, and there can be no doubt that some hundreds changed hands. The men had to make the circuit of the course 32 times to complete the distance, having to walk eight miles. Miles gave his opponent a start of one minute and a half ; no trifling advantage for a competitor of such merit to receive. The confidence of Oliver's friends way be gathered from the fact that the y freel y laid the oddce s o t f 6 and 7to 4. The matc h had been fixed to take pla a of h a lf-past six o'clock, but was deferre d for the purpose e s uiting the convenience of racing men, many o!whlrom then, from Tattersalls' to the groun d .

A momentary glance at the position of his man, and then Jem, with a confident nonchalent air, placed him self in position at the scratch. Another slight pause, and then came the et elcome signal to those who had invested their money on the Brixton cham pion, of " Go." With a sprit g as if he had been impelled by powerful machinery, Miles dashed off at a speed which astonished the spectators, From the instant Miles had got fairly on the move, he began to gain on his opponent, and at the termination of the first mile, which was walked by Miles in seven minutes and 57 seconds, he had gained something like 40 yards on his com petitor. Oliver was unquestionably walking well, and with unimpeachable fairness, still, after the first going off,Olivor did not in his action, or in the manner he pulled himself together, exhibit that fine dash we have noticed in him in former matches. Throughout the second mile the struggle was admirably sustained, and on the finish of this portion of the match, which was ace,mplished by Milos in 16 minutes and 14 second, it was ascertained that Jem had still more considerably reduced the distance between him self and opponent ; but, although this seas the case, it did not make the least alteration in the betting. On the con trary, odds, and tempting odds 1 00, were offered that Oliver won. The three miles were done by Miles in 24 minutes and 21 seconds ; four miles in 32 minutes 33 seconds ; and the first five miles were accomplished by Jem in 41 minutu3 and 51 seconds; and when this portion of the match had been completed Oliver did nut at most head his man more than 130 yards, so that from this it was evident Miles had gained 270 yards out of the 400 covered by his opponent in the minute and a half start. The Struggle on the part of beingit4 ofhis the game match opponent had both was admirably carried on.

The pedestri ans h a d com menced the eighth and last mile, and while walking the 30th lap (seven miles and a half), Miles, who had been still closing on his man, came to the front after a tremend ous struggle, and at the moment he did so he was hailed with deafening cheers. Although Olivet had been thus taught arid passed by his opponent, he walked gamely to the finish, Miles, who walked (official time) the distance in 1 hour 8 minutes 7 seconds, going in the winner of the fins Latch by not more than 20 yards. TILE TRAGEDY IN LUDGATE-RILL. The following appeared in a portion of our impression of yesterday evening : The Coroner's inquiry into the causes connected with the deaths of Anne Howard Vyse, aged seven, and AliceVyse, aged five years, commenced this afternoon at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, before Mr. Payne, the coroner for the City of London, Mr. Humphries, jun., the solicitor, watched the case on the part of Messrs. Keating, chemists, St. Paul's Church yard, and Mr. Vining attended for the family of Mr. 'Vyse. The jury having been sworn proceeded to View the bodies. On their return, the first witness called was, Mr. John Saunders Moon, residing at Oakley-road, Islington. IN as a member of the Stock Exchange He knew the two deceased children, one was Ann e H owar d Vyse, aged six years and 10 months, the othe r Ali ce K a t e Vyse, aged five years. They were the children of Valen tine and Ann Cornish Vyse. Mr. S. Savory was next examined. He was one of the assistant-surgeons at St. Bartholomew's Hospital. H e first saw the children on Thursday afternoon about 'five o'clock, in a front room in the top floor of Mr. Vyse's house. They were both dead. The bodies were much discoloured and livid, and although they were quite warm, having almost the living temperature, they were quite rigid. The youngest was rigid all over, the eldest in that state about the jaws and neighbouring parts. On Friday I made a post mortem examination of each, but the rigidity of the bodies had almost entirely disappeared, decomposition had already commenced. The witness then proceeded to give a description of the appear ance of the intestines, but said he had not examined the contents of the stomach, because he believed that it was necessary that a chemist of authority should make the exa mination in preference to a surgeon. He might, however, state that he had made certain experiments on a cat with a portion of the contents of the body, and from effects pro duced, he was of opinion that strychnia was contained in the stomach. The Coroner—Then we aro for the present stopped. Witness—l thought it necessary, as the examination of the stomach would be connected with very ira portant re- sults, it would be better that a chemist of eminence should undertake the analysis in preference to a surgeon. The Coroner—What has become of the contents of the stomachs ? Witness—They are in jars, under lock and key, in my possession. Coroner—Because it is important they should not be tampered with. Witness—That is the very reason I have not touched them. Coroner I should not et:al your tour:Moe them tamper ing. It is very important no one should interfere ; with them. Witness—l will take care that no one 5b:. 1 .1 touch thorn without your order. I simply did not make the analysis, because I consider no surgeon, as a surgeon, is competent to make that analysis. Mr. John M. Taylor, assistant to Mr. Keating, chemist, St. Paul's-churchyard, was the next witness examined. The Coroner—Did you sell any poison on Thursday ? Witness—Yes, to Mrs. Yyae, about a quarter to 12. Coroner—Did she come to your shop ? Witness—Yes. I knew her as a customer. She asked to be shown some perfume. I showed her some, and sho chose a bottle containing extract of spring flowers. She said it was very nice. She afterwards said she was much infested with rats and mice at her house, that it had lately cost £5 to repair the damage they had done. She also said they were much troubled with them in the bedroom, so much so that she could not sleep, and that one even came up on the bed to her, that she had to put her hand out to shake it off, and that she heard it fall on the floor. She was afraid that they would get to the baby, and she asked for some prussic acid or other stuff to destroy them. She was told she could not have it, and some poisoned wheat was recommended. This she declined, and asked whether any other thing was kept for the pur pose. I told her we had Butler and Battle's vermin killer. She took away some of the latter. at using, and that she must be careful the mixture By a Juror—l told her it wt,uld require gre contained come near it.

She then went down into the shop and told Miss Saunders, Mrs. Vyse's sister, that something was the matter. They both went upstairs and broke the door open, and found Mrs. Yyse near the marble wash stand with her throat cut. Miss Saunders said, " Pray God, what are you doing ? Let me die with you." Mrs. Vyse said, "I am mad. Let me hang myself. I wish to die." She also said the two children were in heaven, and she wished to be with them. Witness said she would go for a doctor, but Mrs. Vyse said it was too late. She had seen Mrs. Vyse since the occurrence, but she has not spoken on the subject. ou S t a o rh n a Thursday,Saunders, a sistern dalso to her Mrs. Vyse, return h r o e m c o e l . 1 e c T t e h d eh children h r going ila ren dined about 2 o'clock.

She had not spoken since to her sister on the subject. n the By the Coroner—The children generally resided country, but when they are with their mother ually lie down after dinner, by her wish. ar rived in town on Wednesday morning, the m that she intended to take them to the E xhibition. iH aid he had tested Mr. Savory, the surgeon, examined—He it contained strych tnhi nine e p ionw some , e and r e . w H a s e of g aovPei fourran and a half grai is s ;the children e t h e r only saying to a depend upon how it rabbit, which killed it.
