CITY, Two O'CLOCIC. 12 During the last few days there has been rather 81 more animation in the Foreign Colonial Produce s Markets. Tea, however, has been only mode rately dealt in, as both buyers and sellers have deferred their operations until the arrival of ad vices from China by the Overland Mail. For 1 ' sugars there has been a more active demand, and a slight advv.nce has taken place in the value of the better descriptions; the refined market however remains dull. Coffee has been ex ceedingly inactive, and to effect sales holders had to give wny 6d. to ls. per cwt. In rice a steady business has been done at fully late rates, and the transactions in fruits and spices have been to a s reason able extent. Tallow, after the late important advance, has slightly receded, chiefly owing to spevalative sales ; the quotations for spring delivery s sho ,- ,ving a decline of about 3d. per cwt. The demand for money continues moderate, and tine rates are rather easier. On the Stock Ex- st change loans can still be negotiated at 2 per cent. st Rather more activity was exhibited in the :t t ' Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices st more firm. The sales amounted to .10,000 bales. :t . t ; The steamer Delta, which leaves tomorrow, will st take out £30,700 in gold for Alexa ndria, and 81 £9,600 in gold and £2,705 in silver for Bombay. At the meeting of the Globe Insu r a nce Corn- • st pany yesterday a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. at About L7o,ooo,.including 50,000 sovereigns, was st withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterd a y , the bullion dealers, in the absence of fresh supplies, being compelled to resort to that establishment. et The Red Jacket, with £152,116, however, has just arrived from Australia in 100 days, and this re sty mittance will probably satisfy the immediate Fi s t: demand for exportation. Towards the close of business yesterday after- s e t t : noon the tendency of prices in the English Stock s t, Market was rather unfavourabl e, and further indi cations of weakness are now observable, owing to a g s t t, few speculative sales, Consols being 921 for stc transfer, and 921 93 for the account. The specie et`, movement seems to be producing an unfavourable effect ; business, however , is exceedingly dull.

OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) THE STEPNEY MURDER.-SECOND D.Y. THE DEFENCE. The interest exhibited yesterday increased this morning, and shortly after the doors of the court were opened every seat in the court was instantly occupied. At ten o'clock the prisoner, James Mullins, was again placed in the dock, and the jury having answered to their names, Mr. Best, the prisoner's counsel, rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said it now became his onerous and important duty to address them on behalf of the prisoner, and he could not conceal from himself the awful responsibility that rested on him. He felt nearly overwhelmed with the responsibility, because he was afraid that, in the discharge of his duty, he should overlook some important fact which might militate against the freedom and life of the prisoner. He could not but say he felt greatly indebted to the learned Sergeant who had conducted the case on behalf of the Crown, and he felt he need sincerely implore the jury to do precisely as the learned advocate directed, to judge the case by the facts as they had been proved in evidence. In the month of August the unfortunate woman was murdered, and from the witnesses for the pro secution it was clear that the crime must have been com mitted by somebody well acquainted with her habits. It was proved that the deceased refused admission to her house to all but those with whom she was acquainted. It was without doubt that the person who committed the crime entered by the front door of the house, and the next question that had to be decided was, was Mullins the only man who had access to the house. The old lady had purchased a quantity of paper-hangings more than she had need for, and as she was of penurious habits it was not improbable she was anxious to dispose of the property to any person dis• posed to purchase it. Was it impossible that the murderer, whoever he might be, gained admission on the pretext of being a purchaser, and once having succeeded in overcom ing the first difficulty, there was the opportunity of com mitting the horrid crime, as the old lady resided quite alone in the house. It was generally known that she was a woman who was in the habit of collecting large sums of money, and to possess the money so collected some person must have secreted himself inside the house previous to its being locked up for the night by the deceased. Now, had it been clearly proved it was impossible for any other person but Mullins to enter the house ? He thought not ; and if they were of that opinion the first doubt would entirely upset the theory of the prosecution. Adverting to the allegation that Mullins had been animated by the large reward that was offered for the discovery of the murderer, he contended that the communicatim had been made to the police before the reward of £3OO was offered. He could not pass from that part of his subject without remark ing upon the danger of the offering of these large rewards. Happily they had passed from a period when 4 kblobd money" was freely offered and paid, but the danger to some extent still remained, and the fact being so it was a subject that required deep consideration. With respect to the facts adduced in evidence touching the discovery of the strings round the parcel, the hammer, and pencil case, they did not in any way tend to fasten the crime on the prisoner at the bar. The pencil case, which was one of the strongest points, was not of any pecu liar description, thousands of them were offered for sale daily, and he did not think that any ono would take upon himself the responsibility of saying that the deceased did not either sell or give it to Mullins, sup- I posing it was clearly made out—which he most strenuously denied—that it was tha property of the murdered woman. The next evidence which he should deal with was that of the dock labourer, of Mitchel, and the sailor. It must be recollected they did not agree so entirely as to be of any service to the prosecution. Mr. Rose had given his evi dence as to the finding a key which had been given to Mul lins by Mrs. Goltz, but there was nothing to show I that the key had not been returned to the old lady in the ordinary manner and placed where it was found. Dillon, the next witness, described the state of the body, and said there were splashes of blood all about ; that being so, the murderer must have been sprinkled, and had it been attempted to show that Mullins had any blood on his clothes. Dr. Gill also described the wounds as made by several blows, and another, an incised wound, which corresponded with the size of the hammer, but they must receive such evidence with care, as there war no evidence to show that the hammer belonging to the prisoner inflicted the injuries, and hundreds of hammers of the same descrip tion would make corresponding marks. He must impress on them the fact that there was no peculiarity about the hammer. On the contrary, he begged they would recollect that it was one of the commonest description. Dr. Gill talked about two pieces of tape both having 33 threads, but he had not ventured to say that the 33 threads were of the same quality and texture. The doctor also looked at the pencil-case ; there was a spot of some sort on it, but it was impossible for him to identify it as human blood. With re spect to the lenses identified as belonging to Mrs. Emsley, it had not been proved that they were in her possession when she met her death. Then the cheque which had been found in the parcel—it might have been paid away on the very day she received it, or she might have given it to some person. It was not a crossed cheque, and there fore he did not think that the same importance which was attached to it by the prosecution would be given to it by the jury. Sergeant Thomas found the boot, and it was said to correspond with the print of blood on the floor, and that the boot came from Mullins's house in Offord-street; but where was the other boot') Why was only one found ? and as to the hairs found on the one produced they might have come from the hair in mortar, or out of the rubbish in the dust-hole. He thought, moreover, that if the jury carefully examined the boot they would And that the print did not correspond with the nails in the sole. There were two prominent marks of nails, but if they were to make a mark with the boot three prominent nails would appear. He did not desire to criminate Emma, but he must endeavour to satisfy them that there was a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of his client. He did not wish to say anything that would tend to act detri mentally to Rmms, but it did appear excudingly strange that while he could not obtain admission to the house of the deceased, he should not have gone immediately to the friends of the deceased and made them acquainted with the circumstances. As to the evidence of Raymond, he thought the motive of his coming forward was plain enough. It was well known that witnesses received part of the reward in such cases if conviction followed, and perhaps this fact stimulated the witness who gave evidence that he met Mullins coming from Stepney-green. The learned gentle man then went on at great length to show that had Mullins committed the murder he would not have kept the cheque or remained in the neighbourhood ; and as to his agitation when the murder was spoken of, it might easily be ac counted for, as he was in the habit of doing work for her, knew her well, and felt sorrow at her death. Ho intended on the part of his client to call witnesses to prove where the prisoner was when the murder was committed ; and it would be for the jury to decide whether they were the witnesses of truth. He should also call a man named Stephenson, who would state that he saw a man come out of Mrs. Emsley's house on, the morning of the murder, and he would swear that man was not Mullins ; and he should corroborate Stephenson by a witness named Barnes, and it would be for the jury to put the evidence in the scale of justice and, ascertain the value to be attributed to it. If they had the slightest doubt they were bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt. Was it to the fact as to the hammer or the threads of tape which cor responded that the prosecution hoped to convict the pri soner. After some further remarks, the learned gentleman concluded a very powerful speech by calling upon the jury to judge impartially, and again urged that if they enter tained any doubt with respect to the prisoner being guilty of the crime, it would be far bettor that he should be al lowed to go forth and walk about— " The poor man's fear—the bad man's dread, The miserable outcast—the wretched vagabond." It now became their duty to decide the fate of the wretched matt, and he trusted God would guide them to a right con clusion in this great and solemn matter. The learned gentleman then called Mary Mullins, who said—l am daughter of the prisoner. On the 13th of August I resided with my mother at 12, Offord-street, Chelsea. Father lived in Barnsley-street, and sometimes came to see my mother. I had seen my brother James in possession of the pencil-case produced. I saw it as late as June last. I don't know where he is now. Cress examined by Sergeant Parry—l first heard of the murder on Saturday. I was in service at Mr. Gibson's, in Sloane-street. I read the account of the murder in the newspapers. I have seen Mrs. Emsley once. I saw my father on the Saturday night after the murder. I was dis missed the day after my father was taken. That is the only thing I can attribute my dismissal to. I was not dismissed for moving a stone in the back kitchen in order to hide something. I took up the stone to look for a shilling I had lost. I called the other servant, a little girl, to hold the candle for me. I was dis missed at 4 o'clock. I had the stone up at two. I have not seen my brother James since July—he is at sea. My father seldom came home except on Saturday. The stone I removed was in the back kitchen, by the side of the fire place. Mr. Gibson's is a large house. Thomas Mullins, son of the prisoner, said—l live at Rose-court. I assist my father in his trade. I remember Monday the 13th of August. I was staying with him in Barnsley street on that day. My father came home about a quarter to seven. He did not go out again that evening. He slept in bed by himself. I have never seen the boot produced before. It is not my father's. I used to clean m y father's boots. I never saw my father wear a billy• cock hat. He wore a hat on Monday. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l last saw my brother James about three months ago. I remember the time of . the murder; my father was at home then. I now recol • lect—l have made a mistake—he was not at home. My brother James is not in England. He went in the Mechanic for New York. I was not in w ork when the - murder was committed. I was not working in the Marl.• borough-road in August. I will swear my father was at home on the 13th. I will not swear I was not at work at a greengrocer's, in Marlborough-road. The day I left I went to my father's. I can't answer the question whether y(4.1 at work on Sunday? the 12th, I've only done one nr• day's work since; that was for my previous master, the greengrocer. I left of my own accord. I am certain it was the 12th of August I left the Marlborough-road. I went to Barnsley-street ; I got there about 12 o'clock. I shortly after went out to see how my father was getting on with his work. When I first heard of the murder I recollected father was at home on the 13th. My father told me of the murder. I can't recollect whether I slept alone or with some children on the 12th of August. I never slept at Barnsley •street after the Wednesday fol lowing the murder. I heard that the murder was com mitted on Tuesday. John Mullins—l am son of the prisoner. I live in Rose court, Smithfield. lam a dock labourer, now out of em ploy. I recollect right well my father living in Barnsley street. I lived there with him. I was there on the 13th of August last. My father and brother (the last witness) were there that day. My father went out a little after 8 in the morning, and returned at 12 to dinner. He went to work, and I next saw him that day a few minutes before 7. He had his supper and went to bed at nine. I also went to bed in the same room. I kept awake for some time after I laid down. I got up at half-past seven on the Tuesday morn ing. My father got up at the same time. He had his breakfast and water-washed the passage, and at half-past 12 he told me he was going to the Cambridge-road to work. I never saw the boot, now put into my hand, before in my life. They wear billy-cock hats in Ireland ; in father never wore one. Cross-examined—At times in Ireland I might have worn one. lam not now in work. I had none for four months, because I have been in bad health. I have lived in Barnsley-street, and also in Offord-street. My father slept in Barnsley-street on the Monday night, and so did I. On Sunday night I slept in Barnsley-street with my father. I recollect his having his breakfast the next morning there. [The previous witness stated in his evidence that his father (the prisoner) slept in Offord-street on the Monday night.] I left Offord-street on Tuesday evening. I remained all that day in the house doing nothing. There were other persons in the house. I think Mrs. Music said my father whitewashed the passage. We can't find her. My brother went to sea in July. Re-examined—We have tried to find Mrs. Music, and failed. I did not wear a billycock at the time the murder was committed. Caroline Barnes—l reside at Lawreston Cottage, oppo site the house of deceased, in Grove-road. I recollect Mon day the 13th of August last. I saw deceased that day. I saw the house on the Tuesday morning. On that occasion I saw some one moving the paper hangings about in the top room second floor. It was about 20 minutes to 10. I saw the right hand window open a little way. I saw it opening. I could not tell who the person was in the room. Cross• examined by Sergeant Parry—l first heard of the murder on Friday. I saw the window opening about 20 minutes to 10 on the Tuesday. James Stevenson—l am a builder, and reside at Library street, Old Ford. I had occasion to go to Grove-street on the 14th of August last. I called at No. 3, Grove-road about half-past 10. I left a message at No. 3. Previously to the murder I had not particularly noticed No. 9. After I left No. 3, I went into the main -road, and stood consider ing how I should return home. When so occupied I saw a man with some paperhangings leave a house apparently about the spot of No. 9. This was between nine and ten. I waited for a minute or two, and then I went down the road and met the man face to face. I said, " Hilloa, what are you in the paper line f" and he said very hurriedly yes he was. I said, " I didn't know that, or I could have given you a job." Mr. Best—Then you knew the man ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Best—What's his name. - Witness—Mr. Rowland. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l dont know that the next house to the deceased was being re-papered. Michael Gaffney—l know the prisoner at the bar. I recollect the 14th of August. The prisoner did some work for me that day. I did not know him formerly. He came on the Monday to look at the work that was to be done. Mr. Best—That is the whole of the evidence I have to offer for the defence. Mr. Sergeant Parry recalled the witness Rowlands, with the intention of examining him in reply. The Lord Chief Baron interposed. He did not know what was proposed to do, but, if the jury wished any par ticular question put to Rowlands, he would call him. A juror—l should like the witness to be asked whether he was in Grove-road at the timementioned bythe witness. The witness Rowlands was placed in the box Lord Chief Baron—Do you know the witness James Ste phenson, the builder? 'Witness—Yes; I see him in court. Lori Chief Baron—Did you see him at all in the Grove road on the 14th of August ? Witness—l did not. I was not near the place ; I was two miles 01, Lord Chief Baron—You did not come out of a house in that road on the day spoken of ? Witness—No. I think it right to say a word or two in explanation. The time when I met Mr. Stevenson was some time previous to the murder. Mr. Stevenson must have laboured under some delusion on the point. I have known him to make erroneous statements ; and I really don't think he's right in his mind. Caroline Brimstone said—l know the two younger Mul lins. Only Thomas was at 33, Barnsley-street, on the Tuesday as Mrs. Emsley was supposed to have been mur dered. I remember Mullins (the prisoner) whitewashing the place on the Thursday—not on the Tuesday —in the week the murder was discovered. Mr. Sergeant Parry then rose to reply—He said he should do his duty hi a calm and temperate manner, and, at the outset, he thought the jury would agree with him that the witnesses called for the prisoner had not been of any service in meeting the charge made against him. It was at all events a curious circumstance that the prisoner's daughter a few hours before she quitted her situation was known is have been engaged in removing a stone in the back kitchen It was more than curious—it bore the appearance that ehe intended to secrete something, but what that was it was impossible to say. She was no doubt anxious to save her fat her, and it appeared that she was net unwilling to strain her conscience. Then, with respect to the evidence of the two sons, to him it appeared possible that they had spoken a number of untruths,sas no doubt could be enter tained that on the day they said their father was whitewash ing was the Thursday and not, as they said, the Tuesday. The evidence of Stephenson was certainly not reliable, as he was manfestly inaccurate, and he thought that, taken as a whole, the evidence for the prosecution was over whelming in proving circumstantially that the prisoner was the murderer of Mrs. Emsley. It was incontestably proved that Emms could never have hidden the parcel where it was found. It was also as clear that the object Mullins had in view, in accusing him of the crime, was to secure the £3OO which had been offered for the discovery of the murderer. There did not seem to him to be a doubt but that the prisond had murdered the old lady, who was killed for the sake of obtaining a large sum of money ; but, being disappointed in that, he determined to obtain the money by any means, even though it cost another human being his life. Here was the motive for accusing Emms. Then was it not curious the manner in which the parcel was discovered in the shed of Emms' house ? After some further remarks, The learned Judge commenced summing up, and had not concluded when we went to press. THE DOUBLE MURDER AT BRADFORD.—The woman Mrs. Gowland, alias Sutton, was much better yes terday, and there is more hope of her recovery. The vicar of the parish of St. Oswald, Durham, writes to say he can not find any record of the marriage of Gowland and Sutton at St. Oswald's parish church in 1855. The brother of the poor woman, residing in Durham, writes to the chief con • stable touching the history of Gowland, whom he describes as the source of much family trouble and sorrow for many years past; also encloses two letters received by him from his sister Margaret ; one under date of Bradford the 19th instant, and the other the 21st. She states in these letters that the cruel conduct of Gowland was unbearable, and that'she intended to leave him again and return to Durham on Monday, the 22d inst., and asked her brother to meet her at the railway station in that city. The brother also states that, before coming to Bradford, Gowland had been. six months in Durham Gaol for felony. He still speaks apparently under the impression that his sister is the wife of Gowland, and also states that they have been thrice separated. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A POLlCEMAN.—Yester day a rumour was prevalent, which created considerable sensation throughout Camden-town, that a policeman had been murdered in an encounter with burglars at the par sonage house, the residence of the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, ad joining the district church of St. Stephen, Pratt-street, facing the St. Martin's Cemetery. It appears that police constable George Brown, No. 229 S, was the constable on duty on the beat in which Camden chapel or St. Stephen's is situate ; and that since a robbery took place at the church some years ago, the police have held duplicate keys to enable the constable on duty to enter the grounds, &c., during the night. The constable Brown was seen on duty near the chapel by his sergeant between four and five o'clock yesterday morning ; but as he did not return to the Platt street station shortly after six o'clock, the hour at which the night constables come off duty, some of his brother constables were despatched in quest of him. They conti nued their search, and it was not until after ten o'clock when, on entering the grounds of the chapel and parsonage. house of St. Stephen's, they discovered the lifeless body of their comrade, lying with his hat off in the shal low area attached to the parsonage-house in a pool of blood,•which was still pouring from a dread ful fracture of the skull. Mr. Birmingham, the police surgeon of the district, was sent for, and on his arrival he found the skull driven in upon the brain, but whether from the effects of a fall over the area railings on his head or from the force of an inflicted blow with some heavy blunt instrument it was impossible on cursory inspec tion to say. The depth of the area is only about six feet ; and it eau hardly have been possibl e th a t h e cou ld have fallen over and injured himself so frightfully, in se small a distance. On the other hand there did not appear to be a n y evidence of „t r uggle with anyone, and his hat laid a short distance from his head. The deceased knew the premises perfectly well, and when seen by his sergeant was quite sober. The body was conveyed to the deadhouse of St. Pancras Workhouse, where it awaits an inquest. An exposition, which will be interesting to Eng lish manufacturers, is to take place at Verviers on the 27th, the day fixed for the visit of Ring Leopold to that city. The articles exhibited are to consist entirely of the produce of the place—woollen cloths, woollen yarn, machinery, metals, and coal. The interest of the ceremony arises from the circumstance that not one of the articles thus exhibited have been got up with a view to the exhibition, and the obligation imposed upon each manufacturer to bring for ward a opecia4V 44 9 4 tissue he prodwo.

The Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain Austria, France, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, desirous of establishing, in conformity with the intentions of their respective Courts, the true character of the assistance afforded to the Sublime Porto by the provisions of the Protocol signad this day, the feelings which have dictated the clauses of this Act, and their perfect disinte restedness, declare in the most formal manner, that the Contracting Powers do not intend to seek for, and will not seek for, in the execution of their engagements, any territo. rial advantages, any exclusive influence, or any concession with regard to the commerce of their subjects, such as could not be granted to the subjects of all other nations. Nevertheless, in recalling here the Acts issued by his Majesty the Sultan, the great importance of which was esta blished by Article IX. of the Treaty of March 30, 1856, they cannot refrain from expressing the value'which their re , spective Courts attach to the fulfilment of the solemn pro mises of the Sublime Forte, that serious administrative measures should be taken to ameliorate the condition of the Christian population, of every creed, in the Ottoman Em pire. The Plenipotentiary of Turkey takes note of this decla ration of the Representatvies of the High Powers, and undertakes to transmit it to his Cou rt ; pointing out that the Sublime Porte has employed, and will continue to em ploy, her efforts in the sense of the wish expressed aboy:.

John Cheadle was brought before the magistrates at Manchester on Tuesday, charged with being drunk and assaulting his wife on the previous evening. his head bore unmistakeable signs of recent gaol acquaintance ; and on his being brought up Mr. Trafford immediately recognised him as a man he had committed to the sessions for stealing candles on the 16th inst. " I thought you were to have been tried yester day," Mr. Trafford observed to the prisoner, " for stealing candles at Burton-upon-Irwell." "So I was, air," the pri soner replied, " and I pleaded guilty, but the jury wouldn' believe me ; so they tried me, and 'quit me." (Laughter Mr. Trafford—You are such a notorious liar, Dun» s the jury couldn't believe you when you told thetr uth (Laughter.) An officer, who was in court at the time,sai.. he believed the prisoner pleaded he was insane when he committed the robbery, and that was the reason the jury would not receive his plea of guilty. The case of drunken ness and assault was clearly proved, and the prisoner was ordered to keep the peace for three months. He was unable to find bail, and was taken into custody.
