Ird, . MONEY MARKE7' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Small quantities of gold are still received from the United States, notwithstanding the recent de cline in the exchange, the Edinburgh having just arrived with £3,400. The committee of Spanish American Bondholders have convened a meeting of the holders of Central American Bonds, for the purpose of laying before them certain propositions, from the Government of San Salvador, for the arrangement of that portion of the foreign debt. A dividend at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum was declared by the commercial Banking Company of Sydney, on the 24th of July last. At a meeting of the Queen Insurance Company at Liverpool yesterday, a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. The creditors of Messrs. H. Brooks and Co., manufacturers of pianoforte actions, at a meeting yesterday, agreed to accept the proposed compo sition of 15s. in the pound, payable by instalments extending over a period of two years. . A meeting took place yesterday of the New Grenadian Bondholders to receive a proposition from the Grenadian Government for the settlement of the foreign debt. After some discussion the terms were declared to be inadmissible, and a com mittee of six creditors was appointed to confer with that of the Spanish American Bondholders, for the purpose of deciding upon what modified terms would be acceptable, and to conclude with Senor Martin an agreement founded thereon. There was a meeting to-day of the share holders of the London Joint-Stock Bank, when Mr. G. Pol lard was elected a director, owing to the death of Mr. W. Ormsby. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester day continued very inactive, and prices of all de scriptions improved Id. per lb. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. The Bank of England directors have held their weekly meeting, and have not found it necessary to raise the rate of discount. Although the sub ject has been actively discussed within the last few days, it was considered very doubtful whether an alteration would be made, and the result has con sequently created very little surprise, even in Stock Exchange circles, where some speculative dealings had been based upon the possibility of an immediate advance in the minimum quotation: The market for Public Securities presented a dull and rather heavy appearance during the early part of the day, and very little alteration has since occurred, although a better feeling has been created since the adjournment of the Bank meeting. Consols are steady at 921 for money, and 92i and 93 for the account. The New Threes are flat at 911 1 ; the Reduced at 91} 1 ; Bank Stock remains at 2291 X3l ; India ditto has improved to 221 ; ditto New Loan is steady at 1031 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 95k 961 ; but 54 per Cents. has declined to I.oli 2k; Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. prem. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted in the Foreign Market, and prices show a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70; ditto New, 54-1 to 55 ; and the 4 per Cents. remain at 102 ; Buenos Ayres have receded to 94k, Russian 41 per Cents. to 931, Mexican to 22a I, and Spanish Deferred to 394 ; Peruvian 3 per Cents. are marked 73:11. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1-1- prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, e 1 prem. ; and the Universal, 4- i t- prem. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : _ 1860. 1859. Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton 20,195 18,133 Midland South. Eastern Great Northern 28,243 29,343 Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter 7,181 7,695 North-Eastern . Edinburgh and Glasgow.. 6,655 6,411 Grand Trunk of Canada 16,636 14,569 Great Western of Canada The returns, with one exception, viz., that of the Great Northern, show a satisfactory increase on those of the same period in the previous year. On the Great Western the increase amounts to £431, the North Western to £223, the South Western to £2,266, the Brighton to £2,062, the Midland to £3,744, the South Eastern to £1,242, the Lanca shire and Yorkshire to £4,013, the North Eastern to £247, the Edinburgh and Glasgow to £244, the Grand Trunk of Canada to £2,067, and the Great Western of Canada to £2,663 ; on the Great Northern there is a decrease of £l,lOO. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a moderate scale, and in some instances a slight reaction has taken place in prices, owing to sales. Caledonians have declined ss. ; Great Northern, Great Western, Midland, North-Eastern (Tork), and South-Eastern, 10s. ; and North- Eastern (Berwick), 15s. Eastern Counties and North Westerns advanced ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets less firm ness was also apparent. Lombardo-Venetian and South Austrian declined to 111 ; Grand Trunk of Canada to 271 4 ; and Great Western of Canada to 13& to 14. East Indian continued steady at 99.1 ; and Great Indian Peninsula at 96/. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been at slightly reduced rates.

John Leslie Melville, now eighth Earl of Melvil le, whose eldest son, Alexander, will assume the title of Viscount Kirkcaldy, that of Balgonie, hitherto the title of the heir -apparent, accompanying the earldom of Leven. By this separation of the two peerage s there will now be in the peerage two Lords Melville —the earl of the family of Melville, and the more recent vis county in the family of Dundas. AN EXPRESS TRAIN ON FIRE. —An alarming accident occurred on Tuesday to the express train which loaves Carlisle at 1 o'clock for the south, and which might have deprived tho Alliance meeting last night of two of its principal speakers, Mr. Washington Wilkes and the Dean of Carlisle. Between Carnforth and Lancaster it was dis covered by the occupants of the hindermost carriag.e that the luggage upon the roof had taken fire. There being no means of communication with the guard or driver, the pas seners shouted as loudly as they could, and waved their hats in the anxious hope of attracting attention. They succeeded, with the aid of the smoke and fire, which rapidly made themselves seen and felt, in passing on the alarm from carriage to carriage, but not in arresting th e a ttention of the only parties v(ho could interfere to stop the train. Most fortunately at this time the train was rapidly ap proaching Lancaster, as the flames were travelling along the roof, and the moment the station was reached the burn ing luggage was thrown off. The packages were found to consist of light goods, the property of some ladies in the carriage, and to have ignited by a spark from the engine. The accident was the more alarming and painful to some of the passengers, because in the next carriage to that on which the luggage was on fire was a poor fad, who had been severely injured on the works near Oxenholme, who !M being COATeyed to the Lancaster Llfireato7.

SINGULAR AND DISTRESSING CASE OF SUICIDE IN NEW YORK. (From the New York Herald.) A peculiar and truly distressing tragedy occurred at No. 221, West Thirty-sixth-street, on Sunday evening. The particulars of the case, as furnished to our reporter yester day, are as follow :—ln the month of February last a ' young and really beautiful girl, named Josephine Clifton Lyon, was forced to quit the residence of • her parents, in First-street, in consequence, as she r ays, of the repeated and apparently determined efforts of her father to induce her to lead the life of a common courtesan. She fled to the residence of a friend of hers named Jennings, where she remained in safety until she could procure a suitable boarding-house. Subsequently, in the month of March, she went to live with a married lady in Macdougall-street. Here she remained until June, when her father, discover ing her place of concealment, had her arrested and brought before Justice Quackenbush. She refused to go to the , 1 house of her parents, however, and, notwithstanding she was locked up in a lonely cell all night, in the morning her determination was not shaken in the least. The magi strate, finding that all efforts to effect a reconciliation be tween the father and daughter were useless, discharged Josephine, and told her to go back to her friends. After staying a few months longer in Macdougall-street, the girl, by invitation, went to the residence of Mr. E. Griffith, a married gentleman, residing at 221, West Thirty-sixth street. With Mr. Griffith's family, whom she had known from her infancy, one would suppose that she would have lived happily and contented; but, unfortunately, such was not the case. At times she would become quite melan choly, and cry as if her heart would break. When asked what was the matter, her invariable answer was, " I am afraid my blackhearted father will come here some day and take me away, and I would rather die than live with him." The commencement of a civil suit for abduction against Mr. Grath by Josephine's father served to in crease her fears, and so heavily did the affair weigh upon her mind, that she possessed herself of a revolver, and threatened to shoot her father and herself toe, if any attempt was made to deprive her of her freedom. Mrs. Griffith used every means to quiet the fears of the heart broken creature, but in vain; despair took possession of her soul, and she determined to end all her earthly troubles in a suicide's grave. On more than one occasion she pur chased laudanum for the purpose of self-destruction, but her love and respect for the family of Mr. Griffith prevented her from carrying out her desire. A day or two ago, how ever, she thought she discovered an agent of her father's lurking about the house, and, fearful that an effort would be make to abduct her, she determined to carry out her original intention of suicide. Accordingly, on Sunday evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Griffith were sitting in the parlour, Josephine retired to the privacy of her room, and, procuring a pistol from the bureau, placed the muzzle to her chest, and pulled the fatal trigger. The cap did not explode, however, and it was not until she had tried a second and a third time that she could succeed in firing off the weapon. The report of the pistol soon brought the entire family to the room, and on entering the apartment they found poor Josephine lying weltering in a pool of blood. Dr Burdick, of West Thirty-ninth-street, was instantly summoned to the relief of the dying girl. He found Josephine lying on the bed in a state of syncope, but by means of stimulants and hot applications to the feet and lower extremities he soon succeeded in restoring her to consciousness. Upon probing the wound the physician found that the ball had entered the epigastric region, a little to the left to the me dian line, wounding the diaphragm. Subsequent discoveries showed that besides cutting through the diaphragm, the ball had pierced the stomach. The patient, after rallying, vomited a large quantity of blood, but did not complain of any pain. She seemed averse to having anything done whereby her recovery might be effected, saying she was determined to die, and that if she got well she would make a second attempt at suicide. Tier manner was quite cool, and in a clear and distinct voice she related the cause which impelled her to the commission of the rash act. The story of her wrongs, as recounted to Dr. Burdick, Mr. Griffith, and others, runs this way :—Her father at one time was engaged in the livery business, and well off, but of late years by re verses of fortune he was reduced to penury. Driven to desperation he resorted to the most unnatural means to ob tain a livelihood—namely, the prostitution of his daughter. But Josephine, who, according to all accounts, was a good and virtuous girl, spurned the base proposal with scorn, and threatened to leave her parent's roof if the offer was re peated. Incredulous as it may appear, Josephine says that every artifice was used to make her lead a life of shame by him who should have been her guardian and protector. At night she was forced to place her bed against the bedroom door to guard against intrusion, and on one occasion she said an effort was made to deprive her of her senses by means of chloroform. Finding that her father was determined that she should become a wanton, on the 26th Feb. last she left her parent's roof, and sought that protection among strap • gers which was denied her at home. With the rest of her history our readers aro already familiar. Josephine stated that she was about 17 years of age, and that the attempts on the part of her father to force her to become a courtesan commenced fully three years ago. It was only within the year or so, however, that his conduct became unbearable, and rendered her flight a matter of dire necessity. Dr. Car nochan was in attendance upon the wounded girl, and after holding a consultation with the other physicians, the case was pronounced hopeless. The case is a very remarkable ' one, and when it comes to be investigated by the coroner many additional facts of interest will be developed. ALTERATION OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY.- The improvements being effected at the National Gallery, Trafalgar-square, for the more effective display of the col lection of paintings purchased by the nation, at such an enormous cost, have already made considerable progress, and it is now expected that the gallery will be re-opened to the public during November, or early in December, being much sooner than was originally expected. The division in the central hall, separating the national collec tion from that part of the building devoted to the Royal Academy z has been entirely removed, as also the circular erection in the rear ? next St. George's Barracks, and the space thus obtained is now being prepared for hanging the pictures, a floor being thrown across the hall level with that of the old gallery. Considerable alteration is also to be made in the staircase leading to the Royal Academy, which will now be made to run up into the miniature room. These arrangements are only temporary, as, on the comple lion of the building about to be erected for the Royal Academy, the whole of the gallery in Trafalgar-square will be appropriated to the public collection, and those paintings removed from Marlborough House to Kensington be brought bore. CONJURING WITH A VENGEANCE : A SCENE.- For some days prior to Tuesday evening last, large bills were posted in the town of Warrington, announcing to the inhabitants :that the " celebrated Wiljalba Frikell's per formance" would be given in the large room of the Lion Hotel, on that evening. At the hour appointed, the room in question was crammed by a large and fashionable audience, to witness the wonderful feats of the renowned "wizard." On a raised platform was exhibited all the mystic paraphernalia proper to the occasion. Presently the magician himself made his appearance, and after a few ju troductory remarks proceeded to display his powers. The performance continued but a very brief time when a strange o commotion was apparent in one part of the verym. and the words " impostor" and " humbug" room. and audible. At length a gentleman sprang on to one of th e seats, and called out to the performer, " Are pi n u idst Frikell ?" Upon this a terrible uproar arose, question.the of which a score of voices were heard repeating forward, and said, The dismayed " professor" then stepped forw, Wiljalba " Allow me to explain ;" but WAS metbawith, i question—yes, or no. Are youWita Frikell, and I never was the reply, " I am net Wiljalba ere r shouted seve said I was." "Never said y Iv i 1 FrikellA?n"sw"ektoh,'e' ral 'of the indignant audience,u " t wizard, " my bill does look at your bill!" " 'Well," retorted the c ounterf_e r l koi , 1 but that Wi!jalba not say that I am Wiljalba be F i who —amused a . mu . se . d n s " l d i e N el yh t i o e tl:e w d e o b o r e , l i e a l u e d , On hearing this Frikell's performance will g de i ee v ni e ru n a . edxemplaanodateidonthmeiarnzoonfeythboe akud_iean , that indivi dual etvheeryaucdasaoeitwyaosf tchoemepiercod;ewsistoh.r.„lroemthaeinseed dual essayed a further explanation. He said he had tried the thing in his own name without success, and that if he had continued he must inevitably have starved. It then struck him to have his bill drawn up in such a manner, that, though he did not literally pass himself off as the re al Frikell, the p ublic mi g ht still be le d to consider him to be that personage ; and since then he had made " lots of money." In conclusion, he offered to go through the performance as well as the individual he was personating; which he did, it appears, to the satisfaction of those who remained. ROAD. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT At the Wilts Quarter Sessions, which commenced at Marlborough on Tuesday, some discussion took place with reverence to the proceedings of the ma gistrates an d the police in endeavouring to eluci date the mystery attending the recent child murder at Road-hill-house, the residence of Mr. Kent. Sir J. Awdry, who it will be remembered acted as chairman at the late e!amination of Elizabeth Gough, presided on the occasion, and there was a large attendance of magistrates, including the Right Hon. T. H. S. Estcourt, M.P., Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P., Mr. Marsh, M.P., Mr. Merewether, Q.C., &c. On the reading of the report of the Constabulary Committee, _ _ Mr. HENEAGE wished to ask Capt. Meredith, the chief constable, a question relating to some circum stances arising out of the Road murder. He ob served from reports in the public papers that on the night of the murder two policemen, who were very properly placed in Mr. Kent's house, were locked into a room for several hours. He wished, there fore, to know if any notice had been taken or in quiry made with regard to the conduct of those Officers. (Hear, hear.) Captain MEREDITH replied that the policemen did not know before 2 o'clock in the morning that they had been locked in. They might, if they had pleased, have got out into the yard where the dog was kept. Mr, MEREWETHER-At what time did they go in. Captain MEREDITH said they went in at 11 o'clock. Mr. Kent wished them to remain in the house as a protection to his family. It was an arrangement between him and the superintendent at Trowbridge. One of them belonged to Wilts and the other to Somerset: Mr. RENEAGE—Then they were not sent for pur poses of detection, but simply to protect Mr. Kent ? Captain MEREDITII—To a certain extent they were, but they had private orders. The explana tion which Mr. Kent has given to the public of his reason for locking them in is that he wished the house to be precisely in the same state in which it usually was. He was always in the habit of lock ing that door at night. The police could have got out at the back door, but then they would have come in contact with the dog. Mr. ALEXANDER—But thy were not at liberty to go about the house P Captain MEREDITH—No. _ _ _ _ MEREWETHER said it was somewhat gra tifying to know that of two policemen who were locked into a room from 11 o'clock until two with- out knowing it, only one belonged to the county of Wilts. (Laughter.) Mr. HENEAGE—I wish to know if any notice has been taken of the conduct of either. Captain MEREDITH—I could not find that any blame attached to them, because they did not know they were locked in. ICIr. T. B. SAUNDERS (one of the justices of the Bradford division) said he wished to make a few observations on the case. He would refrain from using the word " mur d er ," b ecause it was pos sible, from what he had heard, that it might turn out to be only a case of manslaughter. He happened to be at Brighton when the case occurred, but on his return he took the liberty of suggesting that there should be a public inquiry, but was in formed that the matter had better be left in the hands of those magistrates who were then institut ing a private inquiry, and only one of whom be longed to the division in which Road-house was situate. He did not wish, however, to cast an imputation upon any I arson on that account ; but, having been asked what good were the police of this county, who cost something like £lO,OOO a year, when an offence of this kind could i be com mitted without detection, and having been informed that a great deal of evidence could be adduced which had not yet F?en publicly given, he thought it was incumbent on the magistrates to institute further proceedings, there being a difficulty in official quarters in London on the part of the Se cretary of State to commence or institute any such investigation in a legal or proper manner. He begged therefore to move that a special committee be appointed to investigate the circumstances con nected with the death of Francis Saville Kent, and the proceedings taken by the police with reference thereto, and to report thereon to the next sessions. If that did not meet with the approval of the Court he would propose that the Constabulary Committee should take the matter up and report thereon. He saw no illegality in such a course, but would bow with every submission and respect to the opinion of the chairman. He had not attended any of the examinations, but he might mention that on the Ist of September last he wrote to the Secretary of State, Sir George Lewis, stating that circumstances had come to his knowledge which induced him to think that evidence could be brought forward without much difficulty or expense sufficient to justify the apprehension of two of the persons who slept in the house on the night of the occurrence, and suggesting that if the Secretary of State thought it expedient to authorise an inquiry, he as a barris ter would readily undertake the same, either alone or jointly with others, free of expense. On the sth of September he received a reply, containing these words : "If you are in possession of any information respecting this case, or have any suggestions to offer, it is your duty to communicate them to your brother magistrates and to the chief constable of the county. No special authority is required to enable you to perform your functions as a ma gistrate." sidering the nature of the subject, he should he sorry to allow it to pass by with ou t dischargi,a g what appeared to him to be a duty, in making on e- or two remarks; He undertook to say that the whole of the magistrates in the county had taken the deepest interest in the case, and he could not see that those who were officially connected with the district where the death took place had failed in making the most constant, the most vigorous, and the most assiduous investigation into the whole of the circumstances of the case. He did not know that Mr. Saunders had imputed any ladies or neg lect to them; but it appeared that he desired fa further investigation under the cognisance of mr i , gistrates other than those who had already taken part in the proceedings. Now, he confessed he diet not see what good was likely to arise from the adoption of such a system ; neither could he see why in this case they were to depart from the ordinary rules which guided them in others. The only thing peculiar about the case was its atrocity, if it was a murder, and the remarkable. mystery in which it was enveloped. This magistrates of the district had taken every pains to investigate the matter. They had exa mined every person likely to throw the slightest light upon the occurrence ; some of them had even gone to London to ascertain the opinions of those who were competent to give advice • and they adopted a fu r th er step which commended itself to the good opinion of all, by inviting the attendance of Sir John Awdry t o assist them last examination. (Hear, hear.) in l What conducting the, another and ga oo s d e , t hen,, a would result from ha v i ng inquiry? Having read the rep or t o f the last exa mination,ra he was at a loss to conceive what fresh witness could be put into the box, or what fresh clue there was to follow up. But even supposing a further inquiry to be necessary, why should it not be conducted by the magistrates of the division in which Road-hill was situated ? What was there to prevent them the moment a fresh a clue Was of, fered from following it up ? The real difficulty i- a the case was that there was no clue at all. Evee 7 man might draw his own conclusions, but those conclusions were not evidence. Mr. Saunders had intimated something as to the impropriety of allow_ ing the nurse to leave the county, but who, he, would ask, had a light to stop her ? (Hear, hear.) What power was there even in a Secretary of State to do such a thing ? Until there was some reason.- able ground, likely to lead to evidence, they had no right to imprison any single person, and he could not therefore agree with those who thought that the nurse should have been prevented from leav , ing the neighbourhood. (Hear, hear.) No man 'could say that pains had not been taken in en deavouring to arrive at the truth of the matter.. He believed that one public body had suggested, a commission from the Crown, but he wished to know what such a commission could have done more than the magistrates on the spot ? It was the lack of evidence, the want of any clue, that formed the real impediment in the case. There had been no sluggishness or unwill ingness on the part of the local authorities. His own opinion with regard to the case was that, inas much as the parties who committed the deed were probably limited in number, and as by banding toge ther they had the chance of depriving the officers of justice of the means of making out a case against them, the best course to be pursued was not to keep up a continual agitation, not to go on irritating, as it were, the minds of those from whom they might hope eventually to obtain positive evidence, but rather to allow them to pursue their ordinary occu pations, and to trust to some incautious word or deed on their part hereafter. When public suspi cion was supposed to be subsided something might turn up which would furnish a clue to the mystery. (Hear, hear.) He contended that Sir George Lewis had acted rightly in declining to recommend a Royal commission, or to authorise such an inquiry as Mr. Saunders had suggested. He was of opinion that the Secretary of State had no power to autho rise such an inquiry. Mr. SAUNDERS—But was there not a private in quiry authorised by the Secretary of State? Sir JOHN AWDRY—I may as well state that those who appeared before us at Trowbridge were acting under the authority of the Attorney-General. I should not have been disposed to take part in any detective examination, but, having been informed that a regular charge was to be brought before the magistrates, I felt that I should be wanting in courtesy if I refused to acquiesce in the request of some of my brother magistrates to preside over the investigation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. ESTCOURT said it was a source of much grati fication to himself to find the recent investigation presided over by one who had had so much legal experience both in this country and in India. (Hear, hear.) It gave a character and a weight to the pre • ceedings, and he felt satisfied that ever y kind of evidence that could be adduced was exhausted under such superintendence. Under these circum stances he felt bound to oppose the motion of Mr. Saunders, feeling assured that it would only lead to a useless and profitless investigation. (Hear.) The motion not being seconded fell to the ground, but _ _ To that letter he replied that he had already com municated with several of his brother magistrates, and also with the chief constable, but that on his attending one of the preliminary investigations he was informed that it was simply of a private cha racter, and had better be left to those magistrates who had taken the matter in hand. To that letter he had received no reply. He certainly was sur prised to find that the nurse had been allowed to leave the county, and her having been recently brought back for examination at Trowbridge was a proof that one portion at least of his letter to the Secretary of State was not ill-timed. The case now appeared to be involved in the greatest difficulty, but still there were circumstances which it was of the utmost importance to bear in mind. In the first place, the locking up of the policeman was a most unaccountable proceeding. Then again he had been informed that there was a light burning over the hall•door during the whole night when the child was taken away. _ _ _ Capt. MEREDITH—There is a light burning there every night. Mr. SAUNDERS had been told that such was not the case, and he believed that evidence could be brought forward to show that that lamp was burn ing as late as one o'clock, notwithstanding that Pll the inmates said they went to bed before 12, and that they slept with more than usual soundness. Then again he had never heard it asked whether an old scythe might not have been the instrument with which the crime was committed. Neither had it been shown up to the present moment that the gar den tools were ever examined. Mr. SAUNDERS reiterated his belief that unless some further proceedings were taken the public mind would not be satisfied. Sir J. AWDRY said, without wishing to prolong the discussion, he might observe that, with the ex ception of the suggestion of a scythe having been used to inflict the wounds on the child, no point had been brought forward by Mr. Saunders which did not seem to have been anticipated; but he could hardly imagine, from the manner in which the sur geon gave his evidence, that a scythe would have been available for such a purpose. The subject then dropped. Captain MEREDITH—Each one of them was exa mined. Mr. SAUNDERS—May I ask if the grass on the lawn was cut with a scythe or anything else ? Captain MEREDITH—With a scythe. Mr. SAUNDERS understood that it had been out with a machine. Another question he wished to ask, whether any sweeps went up the chimney to examine them after the child was found ? Capt. MEREDITH—I believe not. Th e c himneys were examined, but not by a sweep. not been Mr. SAUNDERS considered they pro perly examined. His own imp improper in was that the deceased saw rtegboaiogdnilof the case the nursery, and that it was th at which led to the The instrument with commission of the foul de e d. might have been which it had been committ ed m dis posed of in the neighbour hood ; and he wished to ask whether during the inves t i ga t ion . _ of the case the a pplied to the Constabulary chief constable had Committee for th eir advice and communicateddassistance with. Captain M il EREDIT— the mag istrates. Mr. SAUNDE RS— But have you communicated with the Constabulary Committee ? Captain MER EDITH — No, I have not. Mr. SAUNDERs sa id by the rules of sessions it was his duty to have done so, therefore, if the Cou r t ob jected to the appointment of a spec i al committee, h e would propose that the chief Constable commu nicate with the Constabulary committee, so that theYalight report on the s u bj ect at the next sessions. Mr. 'LINEAGE said before the question was put to the Court he wished to ask Captain Meredith whether there were, as stated by Mr. Saunders, many persons yet remaining to be examined whose evidence would be useful with regard to the disco very of the murder ? Captain MEREDITH replied that he was not aware of one. lie believed the whole of the evi dence had already been exhausted by the ma gistrates, who had been most indefatigable through out the whole of the investigation. Even during the progress of the private examinations every thing was taken down in writing. The whole of the family were examined, and Mrs. Kent being in too delicate a state to be brought to the court, the committee proceeded to Road-hill-house and exa mined her there. He had further to explain with reference to the constables, that their attendance was requested by Mr. Kent, and that he himself knew nothing of it.

KNOCKER WRENCHING.—Edward Attwell, 27, New man-street, traveller, and Samuel George Kipps, 3, Norfolk street, Middlesex Hospital, house decorator, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wrenching the knocker off the door of the house No. 17, Dean-street, Soho. Howes, 95 C, said that at 20 minutes past lthat morning he was standing at the corner of Richmond-buildings, Dean-street, Soho, when he saw the two defendants go into a doorway, and Attwell tried to wrench off a knocker, Kipps, who was standing behind him at the tim , a, saying "The won't come off." They then walked a little further, and went into another doorway, where he saw Attwell wrench off the knocker produced. He then crossed over the road after them, and Attwell dropped the knocker, and on his saying they had wrenched a knocker off, Attwell said "No, it's only my pipe." They had both been drinking. At the station Kipps admitted. Attwell had wrenched it off. Kipps said he was well acquainted with knockers, and it had not been wrenched off. Mr. Henry Vallings, in the employ of Messrs. Young, Jones, and Mannings, 2, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, agents for the owners of the house, the Rev. Henry Glossop and another, said the knocker belonged to the house in question. Sergeant Stephens, acting inspector, said at the station Kipps said it was done by his friend Attwell, and Attwell said it was. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was bound to inform them that it was a felony. It was a very awkward thing, and a jury of housekeepers would find it felony. The defendants preferring the case being dealt by the magistrate to it going to the sessions, Mr. Tyrwhitt fined them 2s. 6d. each. THAMES. AN INGENIOUS SWINDLER.—A NEW GAMlL—Philip Connor, an Irish boy, about 16 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with fraudulently obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner had been in the practice of calling upon females, whose husband's were from home upon business or at work, and asking for small sums. Among others of whom the prisoner obtained money were Mrs. Arthur, wife of Mr. Robert Arthur, boat-builder, of No. 3, Regent terrace, Limehouse, and Mrs. Cuthbert, wife of Mr. James Cuthbert, of No. 44, Peynton-street, East India-road, Poplar. He called upon Mrs. Arthur on Saturday morning last, and said that her husband had sent him for 35., which she immediately handed to him. On the afternoon of the same day the prisoner called upon Mrs. Cuthbert, and said her husband, who was engaged upon some work elsewhere, had sent him for 45., which she handed to him. Mr. Arthur and Mr. Cuthbert said they had never autho rised the prisoner to ask their wives for money. In a third case, the prisoner had called upon a woman whose husband went to sea upon a long voyage a few weeks since, and said he had sent him for 55., and he wanted it immediately. Of course, the woman upon whom the imposi tion was attempted knew that the prisoner was telling a lie, and gave him into custody. The boy said to a constable named Freestone, No. 135 K, " I know lam guilty, I own to it." Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial. A STRANGZ ROBBERY.—Henry Myer Levy, aged 21, and described as a salesman, of No. 5, Wellington-place, West India-road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a waistcoat, £6 10s. in gold, 4s. 6d. in silver, a gold shirt stud, and a gold watch and gold chain, value in all £l7, the property and manes of a man named Broad, a caulker, of No, 47, Northumberland-street, Poplar. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner, who is in the'service of Mr. Mills, a clothier, in Liniehouse causeway. The prosecutor, who is labouring under a men tal affliction, was recently visited by hie father, Richard Broad, formerly employed in the Devonport Dockyard, who has been for many years a pensioner, and is now residing on the quay, at Barnstaple, Devonshire. Mr. Broad found his son in great distress, " awful distress," as he termed it, as regarded his state of mind. He accompanied his son to the shop of Mr. Mills, where some clothes and other things were purchased for the son. The prisoner, who was accompanied by Mr. Mills, carried the property which old Broad had purchased for his son to the house of the latter, in Northumberland street, and they were fitted on and paid for. The son took off a " fancy flowered waistcoat," and hung it on the bask of a chair against which the prisoner was standing. The two Broads, and a man named John Howard, afterwards proceeded to a neighbouring tavern to obtain some re freshment. While they were gone the waistcoat was abstracted. In the pockets were £6 10s. in gold, lls. 6d. in silver, a gold stud, a gold watch and chain. It was stated by Howard that the waistcoat, with its contents, were missing directly Levy quitted the room. When Mr. Broad the elder charged the prisoner with the theft ho was most grossly abused, and Levy swore the most dreadful oaths. There were circumstances of suspicion against the prisoner. On the other hand it was alleged there was another man in the room who absented himself at the same time as the prisoner, and who was just as likely to have committed th• robbery. Mr. Selfe said there was no doubt a very serious robbery was committed, and remanded the prisoner on bail until Tuesday next. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

An accident of a serious nature, and which almost resulted in the destruction of Bedminster-bridge, Bristol, occurred on Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock. The Fanny Chapman, a vessel belonging to Messrs. Lucas, African merchants, had just arrived, and was being towed up to Bathurst basin. The tide being remarkably high and coming in at rapid rate caused the vessel to have a good way on her, so much that in checking her round the pier with a stern rope the warp immediately parted. There being also a fresh wind at the time, the Fanny Chapman quickly shot away from the pier into the middle of the river, and was making rapid progress towards the bridge when a second hawser was g ot out at the landing stage, but it shared the fate of the former. The steam-tug Tiger still kept near, vainly attempting to render assistance, and upon the Amelia steaming up to aid the Tiger swung round, her stern dashing against the broadside of the Amelia so violently that the water began to rush into her through an opening of two feet, which had been made in her side by the graat force of the collision. Seeing that she was rapidly fill ing the captain endeavoured to run her alongside the landing stage, which she had just time to reach andithe crew to get on shore when the large quan tity of water ,in her hold tended to her aft end and caused her to rear up and sink end on, gra dually righting on her keel as she reached the bottom. Meanwhile the Fanny Chapman, de spite every heryeaadtwteay attempt to s he to ph rherbridge. e p . r o g Ev r e e s ; y was exertion m a k. n g was made by Captain Ryder and the crew ; a bow anchor was thrown out, but proved of no service whatever, the vessel dragging it without the least check to her speed. Seeing no o th er a lt erna ti ve , the pilot decided on running the wheel t o starboard her on shore on the mud bank, and fo r th at the purpose helm, called but out he to e the being man told a l d t that the order was reversed, put the helm hard r sport, ier: keeping the vessel's head in the middle of the river, and .. By losing w the only opportunity of stop ping her, a s she this a s then time rapidly nearing number oßedmin ster-bridge.people assembled, watchi ng with suspense for what _appeared the inevitable destruction of Bedminster bridge, which was constructed in the same manner as Bath-bridge, which was destroyed a few years since by a similar accident. Capt. Able, who com mands another of Messrs. Lucas's vessels, and who had witnessed the occurrence. hastily procured a new hawser from his ship, and rendered what as sistance he could ; but, as before stated, nothing seemed to stay the progress of the Fanny Chapms.n. The only chance of saving the bridge appeared to be by preventing the vessel meeting it stem on, and every exertion was made by the pilot, captain, and crew, who fortunately succeeded in slightly chang ing the direct course of the ship. As it was, how ever, the bowsprit, which was brought up by the remarkable height of the tide to a level with the flagstones bf the paving, caught the bridge just un derneath the coping, and its fall app eared immi nent for some moments, the force of the contact making it swerve and vibrate visibly. Immediately on striking the bridge the vessel reared, as it were, nearly on end, the cutwater throwing up the stone work into the road, and the bowsprit smashing 8 or 9 of the iron railings, breaking them off as if they w u m . • nearly in the b were reeds. The ties the n caught the Fanny Chap manroa d o s n i d t e h or e on to the her an sterndshe s settling mud on the off ban k, where she resisted all efforts of the tug-boat to dislodge her for about half an port t quarter, bria bridge .

The police endeavoured t o stay the rush of people on the bridge immediately after impossible i t wa s struck , but it was found to pre vent them, and notwithstanding the great peril in w hi c h they were placed the bridge was crowded The Fanny Chapman, with with eager spectators. her valuable cargo, has not sustained any damage beyond the loss of her bowsprit, jibboom, and a portion of her eutwater. on- out ich Ede, ?R. in g We able I in ,~
