The s ; Amazoll, MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. From the manufacturing districts the accounts represent that during the past week there has been very little change of importance. The woollen trade at Leeds has been quieter, and at Manchester the unfavourable advices from the East have caused increased heaviness in the market for India goods. Worsted yarns at Bradford have been very dull ; and in the piece goods department, manu facturers complain of want of orders. At Leicester and Nottingham, hosiery has continued dull for the season ; and in the various hardware districts no change of importance can be noticed. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown little or no improvement. A fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and pre vious rates were fully supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The traffic receipts on the Great Western Rai way of Canada for the week ending the 20th ult , amounted to £5,562, being an increase of £39 com pared with the same period in 1859. The commercial engagements of the 4th of the month having been liquidated, the demand for money has diminished, and the market presents a relieved appearance, although no alteration has taken place in the rate of discount-3i per cent being the lowest charge in private channels. There is still a plentiful supply in the hands of bankers and others, and hence it is expected that the terms will continue moderate, especially as the require ments of trade are comparatively limited: A heavy tone still pervades the Market for Public Securities, the speculators, although operating to a very limited extent, still being inclined to effect sales in consequence of the position of Continental politics. Consols have been 931 I for money and account. The settlement being fixed for Thursday next, the necessary preparations occupy the atten tion of the members. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are heavy at 93: ; India Stock is at 217 ; ditto New Loan remains at 1044; ditto 5 per Cent.

The exertions of Inspector Dunn, who has charge of this lamentable case, have brought to light many facts connected with the former history of William Godfrey Youngman, as well as his recent conduct. After the examination of the prisoner before Mr. Elliott, at Lambeth Police-court on Tuesday last, Mr. Dunn proceeded to the residence of Mr. Streeter, the father of the young woman Streeter, near Wadhurst, in Sussex, for the double purpose of breaking out to him and his family the sad news of the murder of his daughter, and also to obtain information respecting the accused, when a scene of the most distressing description took place. From various accounts, confirmed by the letters addressed by the prisoner to the unfortunate young woman, and which are now forthcoming, it appeared that Youngman had made use of unfounded representa tions to induce her to marry him, and to obtain the consent of her friends to the union. In the first place he represented that he had an independent income of nearly £2OO a year—that he intended taking a house for her at Brighton. It further ap peared, from his correspondence, that for some weeks previous he had been strongly urging her to allow him to insure her life for £lOO, and on mentioning the fact to her father and friends they so strongly advised her not to do so, that she assured them she should do no such thing, and they were in hopes that she did not. In the last letter addressed by the prisoner to Miss Streeter, he urged her to come to town, to bring all the money she could with her, and to bor row from her friends ; and particularly stated that there was no necessity for her getting the wedding things made up, as th ese cou ld be had in town. He also had the banns published at St. Martin-in-the- Fields. On returning to town, Inspector Dunn, on searching amongst the prisoner's papers, found the policy of an insurance effected by him on the life of Miss Mary Wells Streeter for £lOO, payable to him on her death. The insurance was effected at the Argus-office, Throgmorton-street, and the policy was dated July 25th, just six dayistbheafsorbn found eetehemur der. From subsequent inqu ir ies that at the General Quarter S es sions, Staf ford on M ar ch 8, 1859, the prisoner, held at Staf oner, Wm. Godfrey ted of master, a stealing staf_ Youngman, had been tried andconvi a quantity of plate belonging to his fordshire gentleman, and sentenced tsoerlv2edmionntthhs; hard lab our . Thi s i m p r isonment a county gaol, and was discharged in M arch last. He then cam e t o t own , an d proc ured a situation at Dr. Duncan's, Henrietta-street, Covent-garde n, by a false cha rac t e r, or ra th er f a l se representations, an d was discharged from th ere i u the beginning o f th e last month, when he renewed his acquaintance with Miss Streeter. On Friday the body of the Boor girl was removed from Newington workhouse to Wad hurst, to be interred alongside the remains of her sister, who died but a few weeks since of consump tion. The bodies of Mrs. Youngman and her two sons are still at the workhouse in coffins, and will be interred on Wednesday next. The prisoner, who is at Hersemonger-lane Gaol, persists in his former statement, and that he had only killed his mother in self-defence. He eats and drinks well, and does not exhibit the slightest aberration of intellect.

Sales progressed heavily at drooping currencies. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were moderate ; but their condition was by no means first-rate. For all kinds the deman d ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs. The best Scots sold at 58 4d per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nortiamptonshie, amounted to 2,000 short-horns, &C., from other parts of England, 600 varied breeds; from Scotland, 2 Scots ; and from Ireland, 270 oxen, &c. There was a considerable increase in the show of sheep. Prime downs and half-breds sold slowly at previous quo tations; but all other breeds were dull, and quite 2d per 81bs lower in price. We have to report a heavy sale for calves at 4d per Blbs less money. About 350 came to hand from Ireland. Calves were in fair average supply, and sluggish re quest, on rather easier terms. The pork trade was heavy : nevertheless, prices were supported. 111 113 90 92 78 79 103 105 118 120 118 120 112 114 105 108 87 89 99 100 100 102 89 91 91 93 102 104 10 104 17 18 104 11 77 79 204 21 101 104 151 152 137 139 1144 1161 1141 1161 138 143 1144 1164 103 105 152 156 130 134 67 69 20i 21i 117 119 1524 1574 121 121 125 127 681 P 7u 1139 141 104 105 95 97 111 113 1 109 111 i I}p 92 94 100 101 id ip *d * p 23 23* 73 75 122 124 130 135 101 111 241 24/ 104 106 104 106 91 93 100 102 86 88 28 29 331 341 33 34 47 SO 130 132 127 129 10 10i 121 121 11 12 Blythe and Tyne 10 per c. pref.

In prices, however, the fluctuations were trifling. All kinds of sprl2s corn changed hands to a fair extent, on former terms. In ate value of flour, very little change took place. Most of the continental markets continue firm for when and other kinds of produce, at full quotations. Advices from New York state that abundant supplies of produce were coming forward, and that large quantities were in progress of shipment to England. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. The imports from abroad, however, were very large, viz. -53,053 qrs of wheat ; 16,275 barley ; 59,475 oats; 3,440 rye; 865 beans; 425 peas; 80 tares; 5,468 linseed ; 8 rapeseed ; 6,224 maize; 80 sundry seeds ; 1,811 sacks and 14,187 brls of flour. Fresh up, to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat were limited; but, as numerous samples, left over from last week, were on offer, the show of English wheat was seasonably good. Notwithstanding the changeable state of the weather, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy in the extreme, at almost a nominal decline in the quota. tions, compared with Monday last, of fully 2s per quarter. We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. In all descriptions, the transactions were on a limited scale, and to have forced sales, is to 2s per quarter less money must have been submitted to. The harvesting of New Talavera wheat has been com menced to-day in Surrey. to is llid; locks, is 11d to is 3id ; grease, liZd to is 3d.

Last week's imports were only 443 bales from Port Philip. The market privately is somewhat heavy. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, at barely late rates. The barley trade was very firm, and extreme rates were realised in every instance. There was very little business doing in malt, on former terms. Although the show of oats was larger, the oat trade ruled steady, at very full prices. Beans commanded extreme rates. Peas were firm, and quite as dear as last week. The flour trade was very inactive, at barely previous quotations. CURRENCY PER TMP PRJA L MEASURE.

THE SUBMARINE LINE TO AMERICA. Mr. BERKELEY asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether, in consequence of the failure of the At lento Telegraph Company in their attempt to lay down a submarine line to America, the agreement entered into After some conversation it was agreed that the substance of the letters should be taken from the copies, and that the originals should be put in. The originals, however, were not in the witness's possession, and they had to be sent for, which, of course, caused great unnecessary delay. Up wards of 40 minutes were needlessly thrown away by the Coroner thinking necessary to make a full copy of the letters for his notes of evidence. The Coroner having concluded his self-imposed task, the evidence was continued by Inspector Dunn reading one of the letters written to the deceased by the accused, in which he urged her very ear nestly to come up to town and insure her life, which it ap peared from another part of - the letter she had some objec tion, as it went on to say that in the event of her not doing so it would prove that she (deceased) possessed more love for her friends and relations than she did for him. Two letters, each dated 16th of July, were read, one of which contained some instructions as to the mode of effecting life assurance. Another, supposed to be dated on the 18th of the same month, also con tained a strong persuasion to assure. One dated July 19, from the accused to the deceased, requested her to bring all her letters and property to London; and the last letter, not sent through the post-office, but by the railway, dated the 28th of July, directed the deceased to burn all her letters previous to her leaving home for London. Mr. Thomas Tanner, a clerk in the Argus Life Assur ance Office, 39, Throgmorton-street, City, said—l produce a policy of insurance effected in our office by William God frey Youngman for £lOO on the life of Mary Wells Streeter. I also pit in the forms of application. I saw the accused and the deceased on July 24 at the office. On the 19th, when the accused came to make inquiries, he filled up the usual forms and gave his address 16, Manor-place, Walworth. The signatures and the general writing of the several letters put into my hand, correspond with that of the office forms filled up by the accused. Samuel Streeter, the father of the deceased, was recalled, and informed the Court that he gave the letters produced to Inspector Dunn, from the writing desk of his deceased daughter. The Coroner, to Inspector Dunn—Have you any other evidence. Inspector Dunn—l can produce a witness to prove that the accused had represented himself to possess independent property. That will show a design. Coroner—l don't think that material to the present in quiry. I cannot therefore receive it. Mr. Boddy, surgeon, said—On the morning of the mur der I was called a little before six to the premises, 16, Manor-place. Inspector Dunn showed me four dead persons. Three were lying on the landing, and one, a little boy, on the bed in the front room. The bodies were warm. [The witness here described the position of the bodies.] Life was quite extinct. I did not see the bodies of the deceased persons again until I saw them the next day at the dead house of the workhouse. I have made a minute cyrunination of tho wounds on each, and a post mortem examination of the body of the little boy, The internal viscera of the child was perfectly healthy. I examined the wounds in the body of Mary Ann Streeter. I found she had sustained a stab over the left break just above the region of the heart. The instrument had entered right into the cavity of the chest about an inch. I should think the injuries were inflicted by a sharp pointed instru ment. She had also received three deep cuts in the throat. Some of the cuts were eight or nine inches in length. They appeared to be backhanded cuts, about an inch or an inch and a-half in depth. They had completely divided the jugular vein and carotid artery. The cuts were, I appre hend, made from right to left. The wounds were mortal, and no person receiving such injuries would have power of ut terance. I should think death must have been instantaneous. I think had the stab wound been made first she would have had power to scream out. I noticed her hands; they had not been injured in the slightest degree. I next examined the mother. I found three stab wounds, one before over the stomach, two stabs behind over the left blade bone, and a deep cut or stab at the left side of the neck dividing the jugular vein and the carotid artery, and extending down to the vital vertibrae, which no doubt was attempted to be cut through or divided. This wound was six or seven Inches in length, and appeared to have been caused by cuts or plunges by a sharp instrument. It was quite impossible for the deceased to have inflicted the wounds herself. lam of opinion that the woman must have been lying on her stomach when the wound was inflicted. I did not notice any blood on her hands. I next examined the youngest boy. He had received some flesh wounds on the inside of the left arm. There was a stab over the left side of the chest, but it had not penetrated it. There was a deep plunging cut right through the back of the neck, entirely dividing the carotid artery, cutting through the spinal column. The wound was about four or five inches in length and was of a mortal character, and appeared to have been inflicted by one sweep of the arm. Last he had examined the elder boy Thomas. Ho had received a cut right down the lip. He had also received a cut round tho throat. There were five or six stabs about the body. One over the left breast, one between the second and third rib, another on the left breast just below the former, but a little more to the left side. There were three stabs to the left side, over the third, fourth, and fifth ribs. The three first fingers of the right hand were deeply cut inside to the bone. The third finger of the left hand was cut inside to a similar extent, as if the hands had made a grasp at a sharp cutting instrument, which had been pulled through them. The post mortem examination showed that the first stab entered the cavity of the chest, and then appeared to have been withdrawn, and again plunged forward, entering the lunge, THE ROAD CHILD MURDER. Advantage was taken of a private visit of Mr. Edin, barrister, to the family of M r . K en t, on Fri day last, to hold a conference with him and Mr. Dunn, solicitor, and Mr. Parsons, surgeon, the latter of whom, it will be remembe re d, was called in within an hour after the discovery of the murdered body of Francis Saville Kent. Superintendents Foley, of Trowbridge, 'Woolf, of Devizes, and Sum mers, of Promo, were in attendance, and were pre sent during part of the interview of the profes sional gentlemen. Some inquiries were pursued and suggestions made which it is thought may possibly lead to the discovery of further and im portant information. Some of the local papers have fallen into an error in stating thb.t Mrs. Kent was delivered of a still-born child within a few hours of the release of Miss Constance Kent, and that she is very ill, the fact being that although she gave premature birth to a son on the 29th ult., both the mother and child are at present doing well: There have also been conjectures thrown out in articles in some London and provincial journals as to the means by which Hester Holly, the laun dress, became acquainted with a rumour on the day of the murder that a nightdress was missing from the house of Miss Kent. The explanation is this : On searching the linen of the inmates on the morn ing of the murder a nightdress was found having marks apparently of a suspicious nature upon it. Mr. Parsons, surgeon, however, informed the police that the appearances were to be accounted for from natural causes; but in the exercise of their discretion the police thought it proper to take the garment from the house and submit it to the inspection of another medical man, who confirmed the opinion that had been expressed by Mr. Par sons. The fact of the nightdress in question hav ing been taken possession of and removed from the house by the police became bruited abroad in the vil lage, with the additions usually made by rumour in such cases, and in due course reaching the ears of the laundress, the old woman expressed her determina tion to satisfy herself of its truth as soon as she received the clothes from Mr. Kent's house on the following Monday. Hence on that day, as soon as she reached home with the two baskets of linen, she at once searched and found confirmation of the report which had been circulated by missing a nightdress belonging to Miss Constance Kent. On the police making inquiries of her on the Monday, she told them that the linen was " all right accord ing to the book,"—i; s., that the usual number of articles were duly entered; but she withheld the information that there was a nightdress of Miss Constance's missing, believing, as she says, that it had been kept back for the purpose of repairs, as had sometimes happened, or that it was already in the possession of the police. It has not yet been publicly stated that on the morning the murder was discovered Mr. Parsons, surgeon, made a casual examination of all the knives in the house (none of which were missing), and subsequently submitted them to a microscopic inspection, but could discover no traces of blood on any of them. Mr. Parsons is also stated to have expressed an opinion that the severe wounds found on the body of the deceased, inflicted both before and after death, could not have been caused by any of the knives found in the house. The absence of the weapon with which the murder was committed and the mysterious disap pearance of the nightdress of Miss Constance Kent have hitherto baffled the researches of the police. Mr. Inspector Whicher and Sergeant Williamson have returned to London to await further instruc tions from the Home Secretary, who, it is hoped, will take some immediate action in this painful mat ter. It has been suggested that the investigation should be commenced de novo, and that, in addition to the employment of metropolitan detectives and the county constabulary, a London solicitor of expe rience in the conduct of criminal investigations, with a stipendiary magistrate to assist th e l oca l justices as their assessor, should be employed in the en d eav our to fathom this mysteryof iniquity. It may be added that the two pieces of newspaper which were found stained with blood, and in which it is supposed that the knife or weapon with which the murder was perpetrated was wiped after the crime had been completed, have been proved to be por tions of Ihe Times of the 9th of June. They were stated at the inquest to be parts of a paper which was not taken in by Mr. Kent or any other person resident in the house, and from that circumstance the possibility of some person having secreted him self on the premises was suggested. As these frag ments, however, are proved to be portions of the journal which was regularly supplied to Mr. Kent, the theory, which amounts to almost absolute cer tainty, that the murder was committed by some in mate of the house is so far additionally confirmed, Per 81bs to sink the offal.

At the conclusion of the war with France, in 1814, commissioners were appointed to examine the claims of British subjects against the French Government in respect of property unduly confiscated during the Revolution ; and, by a convention concluded in 1815, it was declared that, in order to determine the capital due on immovable property, the claim ants should be required to produce the deed of pur chase, and proofs of the confiscation against them selves, their ancestors or assigners, and that, in de• fault of written proof, the commissioners should admit each other as they might deem sufficient. Clement de Bode was the son of Charles de Bode, a German by birth, and commander of a German regi ment in the French service. who married a daugh ter of Mr. Kynnersley, of Loxley Park, in Staf fordshire, in 1775. Clement was born there in 1777, was baptised at Uttexeter, and was a Bri tish subject within the mewing of the treaty, and entitled to claim compensation for the confisca tion of his property. Although this point seems to have been at first disputed it was afterwards admitted, and no further objection was made on that ground. In 1788 Charles de Bode obtained from the Archbishop :and Chapter of Cologne a grant of the lordship and lands of Sultz, in Lower Alsace, the investiture givi ng him the usufruct for life, and absolute remainder to his son. In 1791 he made a legal and valid cession of his interest to Clement, and the property was administered in the latter's name until 1793, then father and son left France, and the property was confiscated by the National Convention. Charles de Bode died in 1797. The son made his claim in due form, under the Convention of 1815, but before it had been heard another Convention was entered into, by which France was released from all claims on pay ment of 60,000,000 of francs, besides 70,000,000 already paid. In 1819 at act of Parliament was passed for Carrying this arrangement into effect, and in 1821 the Baron mils informed, for the first time, that he would be required to prove that the estates were confiscated by virtue of the decree of 1793 against British subjects. This he was unable to do, and in 1822 his claim was rejected; although it has been repeatedly derided that such proof was unnecessary, and in almost every instance in which compensation was granteC the confiscation had been on account of emigration, and not under the decree against British subjects. The Baron appealed to the Privy Council who aemed the award of the com missioners, on the sole ground of there not being sufficient proof of the cession of the interest of the claimant's father, Which proof the Baron was on the Continent e ndeavouring to obtain when the com missioners rejected his shim. Various applications to the House of Commons were made by the Baron, at different times, but without any result, until 1834, when Mr. Hill, then member for Hull, ob tained a select committee to inquire into the Baron's claims ; but Parliament was prorogued before the inquiry was concluded, e dissolution followed, and. Mr. Hill was not re - elected. Mr. Warburton sub sequently took up the case, but his motion for in quiry was opposed and defeated by the Govern ment. The Baron then applied for a mandamus, to be directed to the Lords of the Treasury. ; but this was refused on the ground that their lordships held the money merely as the servants of the Crown; He then petitioned the Queen, and a royal commission was appointed to investigate his claims, which were pronounced good, and taken into the Queen's Bench, where a jury returned a ve rdict confirming the d ec i s i on of the commission. Ultimately the case came before the House of Lords, who decided that, as the act passed in 1819 di rected that the money should be applied in dis charge of the claims of those persons in whose favour adjudications should have been made by the commissioners, and that the balance should be ap plied to such purpose as the Lords of the Treasury should direct; and as AO such adjudication had been made in favour of the claimant, he had no power to obtain redress from any legal tribunal, however clear his case might be upon its merits. In 1852 a select committee was appointed of the House of Lords to investigate the matter, and it reported that it had been fully established that the Baron was a British subject within th e mean i ng o f t h e Treaty of 1814, that he was the bona fide owner of property unduly confiscated by the French Go vernment, and that the rejection of the claims was owing principally to a mistake of the commis sioners, which caused a ground the the inquiry,um prematurely to close upon nd altogether invalid, whereby they excluded the full proof of the claimant's case, the subsequ en t pro d uct i on of w hi c h proof befo re o re the Royal Commission and the Court of Queen's Bench led to the verdi c t i n t h e c l a i mant ' s favour.

New-court, Hill-street, Finsbury, and calling himself a merchant, and Francis Nantze, an interpreter, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining by false and fraudulent pretences, a quantity of hosiery goods of the value of upwards £l4, the property of Mr. Wm. J. Need, hosier, 6, Coventry-street. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, produced two large bundles of !goods which the prisoners had obtained. After some additional evidence, the prisoners were re manded. THAMES. DESERTION.—A DISGRACE TO TIM ARMY.---John Madden, a scampish, dissipated-looking fellow, who is well known to the police, and has been several times in custody, was brought before Mr. Yvdley, charged with deserting from the Royal Artillery. Frederick Martin, a police-constable of the H division, said he apprehended the prisoner for deserting his regi ment on Saturday night, in Hope-street, Poplar. The prisoner made a ♦iolent attack upon him, threw him down, and called upon the mob to rescue him. He had much trouble with the prisoner, who would have done him con siderable injury if assistance had not been promptly ren dered. The prisoner enlisted a year and a half ago, at Woolwich, and had deserted three times. When he took the prisoner into custody after his first desertion he was ill-used and nearly killed by the fellow. The prisoner was branded with the letter D, and since he had been in the army had spent a good deal of time in prison. The prisoner, in a careless and audacious manner, said all the policeman had said was true. He deserted two days after he enlisted, and he had been nearly all the time in prison since that event. Martin said, if the prisoner's character had been known he would never have been admitted into the army. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner to the House of Detection as a deserter, and he will be delivered to the officers of the regiment to be dealt with by court martial. TILE CeISE OF TEE BARON DE BODE. between them and her Majesty's Government had not be come void.. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was not aware that the contract had become void in point of law, but A was inoperative. With respect to the last part of the question, there was no exclusive agreement with the Atlantic Telegraph Company which would prevent Government entering into another contract, but he did not consider a similar contract jwith that of the company in question would be offered. CUSTOMS ACT.-THE PAPER DUTY. On the motion for going into committee, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move the resolution with reference to the import duty on paper. The right hon. gentleman having made some prelimi nary explanations of a technical character, said the subject of these resolutions was not one that was of much importance as regarded either the revenue or the general trade of the country. Only a few thousands a year were realised to the revenue by the duty on foreign paper ; and though he con tended that the effect of the reduction of the duty would in all probability increase the revenue, though not to any considerable extent, he did not wish to discuss the question in reference to any revenue considtration whatever. He denied that the effect of this resolution which he moved would be to make any serious change in the law, or any important revolution in trade, notwithstanding the appre hensions of certain classes. The producers of paper in this country had been led into a delusion as regarded this subject, which nothing but experience, he believel, would dissipate, although the arguments were, he contended, conclusive. This class drew a gloomy picture of the ruin that would be entailed on them by the alterations in regard to the paper duty, but if [what they assserted were true, what would it prove ? It would prove nothing more or less than that this class had heretofore been taxing the British pubic and the industry of the country k a most enormous and unfair manner (Hear, hear, and cries of " No, no.") The question must stand exclusively on the benefit which would be conferred on the public by the alteration in the duty on paper, and ho maintained that it would benefit both the consumers and producers. Besides unless the house consented to this alteration they would be violating not only the spirit, but the terms of the treaty which they had sanctioned. [LEFT SPEAKINO.J TEE DREADFUL MURDERS AZ TVALWORTH. CORONER'S INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) The adjourned inquiry into the cause of the deaths of Elizabeth Youngman, aged 46, Mary Wells Streeter, 27, Thomas Youngman, 10, and Charles Youngman, 8, was resumed this morning at the Newington Workhouse, before William Carter, Esq., coroner for East Surrey. Inspector Dunn, of the P division of police, said—On Tuesday last I went to 16, Manor-place, Walworth, and found three persons lying dead on the top landing, and one little boy on the bed in the front room. I took William Youngman into custody in consequence of what he said. He said, "My mother came to the side of the bed where my brother and I were sleeping; she killed him and made a stab at me, and I in my own defence wrenched the knife from her hand and killed her, if she's dead." I told him I should charge him with the mur der of the four persons, and he replied " Very well." On searching him at the station-house I found a small key• There was a great deal of blood on his hand. He was un dressed when I took him into custody. With the key found on the accused I opened a box pointed out to me as belong ing to the accused in the back room, and there found a policy of a life assurance. The Coroner—Before we go into that, has it anything to do with this case ? Witness—Yes. The Coroner—ln what way ? Witness—lt is an assurance of the life of one of the mur dared persons. The Coroner—Which ? Witness—Mary Wells Streeter. ller life is insured for £lOO. On reading through the policy I find that in the event of her death the money is to be paid to William God frey Youngman—that is the name of the accused. I also produce the receipt for the first quarter's premium, dated the 25th of July, five days previous to the murder. The policy, which is in the Argus Assurance office, was then put in and read. Witness continued—l went to Wadhurst, and there ob tained 15 letters written by the accused to the deceased (Mary Streeter). I went down to Wadhurst the evening of the day of the murder. I there saw one of the witnesses, Samuel Wells Streeter ; he gave me the letters. The Coroner asked for the letters, upon which the Inspec tor produced copies stating that copies of the originals were being made for another court. The second stab entered the lower tube of the left lung. I found a great quantity of blood in the cavity of the chest. It cane from the lungs. These injuries had produced death. The heart was uninjured. I should think, looking at the nature of the wounds, that the deceased must have aeceived /some of the wounds in the back room, as it ap peared that very great resistance had been made. Looking at:the position I saw the bodies in, I should think that the little boy was killed first. He appeared to have awoke and attempted to make his escape. I should think that Mary Streeter would be the next person killed. She might have heard some noise in the front room in which the accused and his brother slept, and then received the wound in her neck. lam decidedly of opinion that she could have had no hand in her own death. My impression is, that the mother then awoke, and on coming to the landing she received the stab, fell forward, and then received the death wound on the back of the neck. The knife found lying between the bodies on the landing was here shown to the witness, and he was asked if that instrument would produce the injuries h© had spoken of, he immediately said, " That's just the sort of instrument that would do so." lam further of opinion that the point of the knife was broken off in the attempt to separate the vetebra3 of the mother's neck. I cannot understand how the little boy could have received the injuries he had, and not screamed out. My first impression was, that they had all either been drugged or subjected to chloroform, but I have discovered nothing that would justify me in that that belief. Mr. Simmonds, surgeon, Albany-road, was next ex amined, and said he heard Mr. Boddy's evidence, and en tirely concurred with it as to the cause of death. He differed from Mr. Boddy in some minor particulars, but the differences were not of an important character. There must have been considerable muscular force to produce the injuries. Inspector Dunn informed the coroner that the portion of the guard of the knife broken off had been discovered in the front room. I have disco vered where the knife was purchased, and about the time. The accused had owned to Lock, the officer, that the knife belonged to him. This closed the evidence, and the court adjourned for refreshment previous to the summing up of the coroner. The Coroner then read the following letter :- 8, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, July 13, 1860.

The Coroner having at considerable length pointed out the particular features of the case, The Jury retired, and after an absence of a few minutes returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Godfrey Youngman," in each case. The Coroner then issued the usual warrant for the pri soner's detention. TIM DAY'S SHIPPING.
