Account, May 6 93 30} THE TRAGEDY IN TIIE CITY. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS-(THES DAY.) This dreadful tragedy appears to exc:to still greater in terest than it did either on Saturday or yesterday, and fur ther investigations have brought to light that the unfor tunate female who was the first victim was not named Talian as reported in the morning papers, but Stallion. She was the widow of a highly respectable mechanic, and for many years in the employment of Messrs. Poutifex, the well-known coppersmiths, of Shoe-lane. The state ment that she had born four children by the suicide and murderer is incorrect, she having only three children, who were left by her late husband living with her, and one boy apprenticed aL the above-named firm, who, we are in formed by the lad's uncle, took one apprentice beyond their usual number entirely out of respect to his late father. The friends also state that the accounts of Mrs. Stallion's habits of intemperance hay.) been much exaggerated, and they have every reason to believe that the fearful deed was committed by Tillett in revenge for her having resisted his advances and refused to share with him the money she was in the habit of receiving. Th e unfortunate boy, described as one of Tillett's sons, and who suffered seven days' imprisonment for tome youthful indiscretion a few days ago, was not Tillett's son, but ono of the poor woman's late husband's, who died in March, 18G1. Up to a late period Mrs. Stallion had borne the character amongst her own friends and family as being a very hard working and steady woman, and if she had lately given way to any little excesses they would be attributed entirely to anxiety of mind caused by the delay of realising the little property left by her late husband for the benefit of the children. GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY. The utmost dissatisfaction is expressed by share holders in the Great Central Gas Company at the uncertainty and ignorance in which they are kept with regard to the extent, and other particulars, of the astounding frauds committed by Benjamin lliggs. Soon after the first news of these losses transpired, their amount was put down by common report at £4:1,000 or £50,000 ; then £lOO,OOO, and even £150,000 were named ; and within the last day or two, alarmed shareholders write to the press asking, in almost frantic tones, if there can possibly be truth in a report which has beea put into circulation, that the extent of the depreda tions react:es from £150,000 to £200,000. The matter presents the widest possible scope for the exercise of the imagination, for it is an extraordinary fact that all attempts, whether on the part of the proprietors or the press, to obtain information from the company's officials have be tuet by law muosb stUdied (Al cence and reserve. Unhappily frauds of this de scription, and of equal or even larger, amount, are not without precedent in our joint-stock com panies' annals, but on all previous occasions of the sort the directors, whose neglect has rendered the losses possible, have hastened to make such amends ag they could, by putting forth prompt explanations as to the extent of the deficiency, the manner in which it has occurred, and the plans whereby the emergency is to be met. To the directors of the Great Central Gas Company it has been reserved to exhibit that practical contempt of the sufferings and anxieties of itheir consti tuents which appears to be indicated by an ab solute and complete withholding of all informa tion. Instances are mentioned in which leading shareholders have visited the company's offices, and insisted vehemently upon their right, as partners, to know the state of their property, but it is said ithat in all cases the attempt has been fruitless, and that, baffled by their own servants, shareholders have been driven hither and thith,r, and forced to seek in all sorts of unreliable quar ters for the information by which their interests are so closely affected. From the office of the company not a sign has been made, nor a single word issued, beyond the bold intimation that a general meeting of the company is convened for the 30th inst. If the directors imagine that the irritation on the part of their shareholders is likely to be iu any degree appeased by this extraordinary silence, the proceedings on the 30th are likely to undeceive them. DR. LIVINGSTONE. -- Intelligence has reached Cape Town, by way of Mozambique, to the effect that Dr. Livingstone was at Zanzibar on the Ist January, and had lett for England, via the Red Sea and Alexandria. The news has gi ven t h e greatest pleasure to the inhabitants of Cape Town, who look with much interest for further de tails from England.

The Prince of Wales is in Turkey, Prince Alfred is in Australia, and Prince Arthur is in Ireland. To begin with the eldest, the reception of the Prince of Wales and his wife by the Sultan seems to have rather startled some of our contemporaries. Only in the " Arabian Nights" (says the Times) could a parallel be found for the descrip tion of the reception. All the scenes of Asiatic imagery are here reproduced. Splendid palaces, glittering retinues, brilliant jewels, ravishing music, exquisite repasts, and obsequious slaves—all placed with Oriental hospitality at the command of the visitor—form the familiar figures of the narrative. The strangers clap their bands, and swarthy attendants appear with trays of gold and silver plate, rich fruits, dazzling gems, and dainty sweetmeats. Al.road an ever-ready cavalcade of guard?, carriages for the streets, and calques for the stream bespeak the solicitude of the Imperial host. But all these inagniEcent attentions sink into nothing compared with the eempliments (flexed by the Sultan himself. In honour of his royal visitors, the Commander of the Faith:ul gave a dinner and wait to a ball. If that seems hut a small matter, Kt the reader understand that no dinner was ever given at the Turkish Court before. The Emperor of the Ottomans broke through the traditional etiquette of the Sublime Porte for the sake of his illustrious guests, and stepped boldly cut of the circle to which the ceremonial of his rank had confined him. But though do se incidents may be the most interesting, they are not the most instructive parts of the story. A change has come over the Turks and their capital. 'With just enough of the old Asiatic fashions to give picturesqueness to the scene, there were mingled very evident signs of innovation and progress. The Turkish infantry carry breech-loading rifles ; the artillery have Armstrong guns ; heavy iron clads are afloat in the Bosphorus; and it is said that the Sultan could put 800,000 men in the field. Constanti nople has become a well-managed city. The gas service is good, the water supply abundant, the police force well organised. The relics of the Byzantine Empire have well-nigh disappeared, the ancient walls of the city are marked for destruction, and it is only within the precincts of the old Imperial Palace that monuments of the past are still standing. ' The Duke of Edinburgh seemed as popular in his second as in his first visit to Australia. The South Australian Advertiser thus describes the visit to the colony :—" On Monday, February 15, Adelaide was subjected to a double excitement through the arrival of the Galatea with his Royal Highness, Ole Duke of Edinburgh. and the mail steamer with Sir James Fergusson, the new Governor. Sir James and Lady Edith Fergusson had taken their passages for Melbourne, but came direct to Adelaide on hearing that the Duke was on his way from Perth. The Galatea anchored off the Semaphore, and his Royal Highness, in excellent health and spirits, was brought to Adelaide in Colonel Hamley's, the then acting governor's, carriage. On his arrival he was received with hearty cheers from the crowds that had assembled at Government House gate. On the same evening the Duke attended at the Theatre Royal to witness the performance of "Caste," Sir James Fergus son and Lady Edith, Colonel and Mrs. Hamley were present. It was the opening night of the season, and the reception given to his Royal Highness and the new governor was most enthusiastic. On Tuesday morning the Prince was present at the Town Hall to witness the swearing in of Sir James Fergusson. On Wednesday evening the Duke honoured with his presence .the colonist's ball. There were from 500 to 600 present, and the ball was a very success. ful one. On Thursdaymorning his Royal Highness laid the first stone of the Sailors' Home. In the evening he dined at the Adelaide Club, and subsequently met several hun dred guests at a party given at Government House. On Friday the Duke drove to the Old Adelaide Race course, on the East-park Lands, where special races had been got up in honour of his visit. The day had been proclaimed a public holiday, and there were not less than 8,000 or 9,000 people present. Shortly after 5 o'clock the Prince left the ground admidst a perfect hurricane of cheering, as a farewell. Without delay he proceeded by special train to the port, and boarded. the Galatea. Early on Satui day morning the vessel steamed away. During the whole of the Duke's stay the injunc tions of the Colonial Secretary, that there should be no public demonstrations, were scrupulously adhered to. It must have been with no little misgiving that Prince Arthur was sent to the south of Ireland. The enthusiastic reception given to the Prince in the south has proved a most agreeable surprise. His Royal Highness has been amply rewarded for the confidence which he reposed in the generous feeling of the people. They have welcomed him with heartiness as the first pledge of their sovereign's personal interest in this country, and with the hope that his visit will be followed at no distant day by one from the Queen herself. The name of the Patron Saint has exercised an irresistible charm. The people of Tipperary at once boldly detached it from the others, acknowledging his Royal Highness only as Prince Patrick. The only demonstrations of dis!oyalty which have at all marred the enjoyment of the Prirce have proceeded from the wcatlar, which did its utmost on Thursday to plsy into the Lands of the Fenians. It had been arranged that deputaticns should proceed to Thomastown Castle to present addresses of welcome to his Royal Highnet s from the local bodies. '1 he elements poured a destructive torrent rat on the pre paraticits. But rain is not an unusual visitor in these parts, and however fierce an aspect the climate may assume, it does not easily frighten the " boys," who know its ways and how to manage it. Deputations from the Tipperary Poor-law Union and Town Commissioners bad resolved to pay their res. nects to thA P.;.,„., ..4 fulfilling their purpose without being very much concerned, by the state of the atmosphere. At 12 o'clock a train of vehicles more remarkable for their utility than their elegance arrived in front of the Castle. The Count de Jarnac gave their occupants a most courteous and hearty reception when the first deputation alighted, and conducted them to the drawing-room, where the Prince, the Countess de Jarnac and her daughter, together with Colonel Elphinstone and Mr. Pickard, were in waiting to receive them. His Royal Highness had displayed on his breast the badge of the Order of St. Patrick. Then came the presentation of ad dresses couched in the usual style, and receiving verymuch like the usual reply. During the presentation the weather moderated a little, and the Prince, having encased him self in a grey overcoat of Waterford frieze, expressed his willingness to brave any possible return of its inclemency, and keep an appointment which bad been made for a visit ' to Cashel. H.s aduiticn of the native costume en deared him still more to V. e 1 ccl reprdentatives of Tipperary. They hailed tL e Prince in his gray frieze coat as indeed a coantiymm. Here was a visible embodiment of national sympathy more expressive than a dozen speeches. Their loyal patriotism received a fresh impulse, and they determined to give utterance to their feelings. The first idea was to draw up in line in the hall and give it to him as he passed out. Fortunately for the nerves of the inmates of the Castle, they thought it better to await the Prince outside and give it in the open air. The Prince, who was unconscious of the great honour reserved for him, soon appeared in front, and was greeted with a variety of startling ejaculations. A chariot was in waiting to convey his Royal Highness to Cashel, and as he started off the band of the Tipperary Militia played the National Anthem. There was then another ad dress from the Cashel municipal authorities. " The inhabitants," said the document, "respectfully accord you a hearty welcome to our city and to St. Patrick's Rock, delighted to see Prince Patrick tread the hallowed soil on which the patient Unghus bled, and joyful to recognise the interest in our country which induced you to visit the venerable monuments of our ancient grandeur, to view the royal residence of the Kings of Munster in the olden time, to admire the body of Cormac's stone-roofed shrine, and to scan the form and proportions of the tower reared by our ancestors in past ages." After replying, of course, in suitable terms, the Prince went to do what he had been invited to do. The Rock of Cashel was examined, the cathedral visited, and the shrine of Cormac admired. Then came some races, to whicJi a stop was put, however, by the rain. At night a grand ball was given at Thomastown Castle in honour of the Prince's visit. It was attended by a select assemblage of the gentry. His Royal Highness left the Castle the next clay for Cahir, en route for Lismore. A story is told of a man who hnuced in LondOn one thousand cigars, valued at IA), againA fire and water. After the lapse of six months he made his appearance at the insurance office and demanded his money, as the cigars had been burned. " But not on board the vessel, sir ?" said the secretary, " for she is in the dock now." " yes, on board the vessel. I smoked th em , an d t h erefore burned them all myself, and the insurance says against " The secretary was taken aback, but told the smoker to call again next day. He called at the appointed time, but was met by the solicitor of the company, who told him that if he did not relinquish his claim he would be prosecuted as one who had knowingly and fully set fire to goods insured by the company.—Baltonore Underwriter. LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT CAMBRIDGE.— Arrangements have been corn pleted for a Liberal demonstra tion, on alarge scale, at Cambridge, to celebrate the triumph of the Liberal party of the late election for the borough. A grand banquet will be helti at the Guildhall, on Wednes day, May 5, at which the borough members, Messrs. Torrens and Fowler, and a number of celebrities will be present. It is thought that this will be a larger gathering than on the occasion of any political demonstration within the borough since the Reform Bill. Advantage will be taken of the proceedings to present a testimonial to Mr. Patrick Beales, on his retirement, after a long period of zealous and active service, from} the leade9bip of the Liberal party.

At judges' chambers, this morning, before Mr. Justice Brett, the case of Kirhl v. Higgs watts heard. This was an interpleader sum lIICILW by the Sheriff of Middlesex, levied at Tide End House, Teddington, where the notorious delinquent Benjamin Higgs kept a fine establishment. The plaintiff bad ob tained judgment and levied an execution, but just before the levy the Guarantee Society entered and sold a portion of the property, which sale was stopped by the execution creditor, and several claimants then appeared, and Mr. II dl (Borchelt and Hall) the under-sheriff, then took out ;:n inter pleader summons to know what was to be done with the property. Mr. Justice Brett said the Guarantee Society had no claims. They had sol.l, they wild, to Mr. Parks, and he now said he was no purchaser. (Laughter.) His Lordship barred the claims. The Sheriff will resume the sale for the execution creditor, and litigation is likely to spring cp in this notorious case. ARREST OF A BANK MANAGER. Mr Samuel Greenaway Finney, of Qaee..sbury Lodge, Elstree, Herts, aged 55, was brought up at the Mansion House this morning, before the Lord Mayor, upon a warrant, by Sergeant Spittle of the City Detective Police, charged for that he during the month of December, 1865, in the City of London, then being manager of a certain public company, called the English Joint-Stock Bank (Limited), unlawfully, and with intent to de fraud did make, and conceal in making, divers false entries, and did insert certain particulars in certain books of account belonging to the company, with intent to defraud. Mr. G. Lewis conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Straight, the barrister, appeared for the defendant. Mr. G. Lewis was opening the case when we went to pras. POLICE IN TELLIG EN CE.-7 his Day. WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL OUTRAGE UPON A WOMAN.—Daniel Goller, a young man, was charged with the fonowing brutal assault upon a woman. Catherine Reeve, a young woman, one of whose eyes was closed, and who had other contusions, said—Last night, at twenty minutes to eleven, I was standing outside a public house in the King's-road, Chelsea, when the defendant came up and gave me a back-handed slap across the face. He struck me on the back and took away my breath, and while I was in that state he knocked two of my teeth out. He then struck me again twice in the jaw, and also gave me other blows. A policeman came, and I then gave him in charge. Mr. Selfe —Did you give him any provocation? Frosecutrix—Not the least of any description. The young woman then explained that an intimacy had previously existed between them which had been broken off shortly before Christmas. She had not seen him before for three months. Defendant said she had done him a great injury, which he resented in the manner described. Mr. Selfe committed him for two months to hard labour. THAAIES. OVERBOARD HE WENT.—George Fisher, a workman in the service of Messrs. Batger, the wholesale manufac turers of confectionery and sweetmeats, in Broad-street, Ratcliff, was charged with attempting to commit suicide in the Thames. John Standen, a police-constable, No. 490 IC, was on duty in High-street. Shadwell, and was informed that a man had attempted to commit suicide by drowning himself in the Thames at Bell-wharf stairs. He went there and saw the prisoner seated on the lower step of a beer-house drenched, and the water dripping from him. A sailor said the prisoner jumped into the river and that he pulled him out. Dry clothing was provided, and the prisoner was made as comfortable as was consis tent with his safe custody. The prisoner said he certainly got into the water and was saved by a sailor, but he never intended to commit suicide. He preferred life and the sweets of Missesißatgers' establishment, whore he received liberal pay and good treatment, to making himself a cold, miserable corpse. He got a little drop too much on Saturday night, not of water, but a stronger and more potent drink, and some men began tc annoy him. To escapa them ho went down a turning to wards the water side, and not being aware some steps led to the Thames ho wont down sal oeerho tat he went. (Laughter.) lie had no intention of drowuitig himself, Ile meant to live us long as h.) could. (Laughter.) El r. Paget bad no reason to suppose the prisoujr did intend to commit suicide, and discharged him. DARING ROBBERY IN TUE: DOCKS.—ainicl L3 - flub, 35, lig,bterwan, and John Berl-r, 25, cooper, were charged with et.NAling a large quantity of rope in the London Docks. The prisoners were seen by a Dock constable, named George Merr tt, hi a Loat in the tobacco dwk. The Loat contained rope, and they came ashore with it, and were captured. Both prisoners said a man gave them the rope. A portion of it was identified by Captain Arthur Fitz gerald Helps, the master of ship Chalmers. It had been tuk.n out of big lone' boat on duck. Tboto woro two check ropes which the dock men had long used to guide ships with in the boat. It had been removed from one of the quays. The value of all the rope in the boat was 6s. only. Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, A GENERAL ROBBED BY HIS VALET.—SERIOUS CHARGE. —Harry Leonard, valet to General W. Mauls Ramsey, of 32, 3t. James's-street, was charged before lir. Tyrwhitt with ste ling a set of diamond studs of the value of £l3O, and other property belonging to his master. Alfred Addley, assistant to Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, of No. 36, Piccadilly*, said that ou Saturday even ing the prisoner offered a set of diamond studs in pledge, asking £2 los. on them. On asking how he came pos sessed of them he said they wore given to him two years ago by a woman, and that he had not Ivauted money before. Seeing that they were of the value of about £lOO he stopped the prisoner and took him to the station, and on the way he tried to get away. General W. Maude Ramsey, of No. 32, St. James-street, identified the studs as his property, and said—l saw the studs safe about a month ago in my jewel case. The studs are of the value of about £l3O. The prisoner was i❑ my service as valet. By Mr. Tyrwhitt —I have lost a great deal of other property, another set of studs, hunting boots, &c. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—None of the property was lockei up, as I had great trust in him. Beechey, a plain-clothes officer of the C division, said he bad traced a large quantity of property which had been taken by the prisoner. General Ramsey-1 have ascertained that he has been pledging property since August last. The value of the other property is about £5O. George Brown, assistant to Mr. Thos. Attenborougb, pawnbroker, of Piccadilly, produced two pins and other articles pledged on Saturday afternoon by the prisoner. John Frederick Hones, assistant to Mr. Bartrurn, Picca dilly, produced a quantity of wearing apparel pledged by the prisoner. Inspector Pay—The prisoner said he supposed he had better tell him all about it, as he could not ba anything worse done to, and that the property belonged to General Ramsey, that he was his valet, and that he wanted to make up £5, in consequence of a publican pressing him for it. By Mr. Froggatt—lle said he meant to go to a friend and get some money and redeem the things. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. MARKE7 S-2 HIS DAY. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. April I. 9 . —Sales probably 8,000 bales. The market quiet. MARK-LAN E. At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair but not large attendance of the trade. English wheat met with a slow sale at last Monday's barely sustained prices. Fo reign sold heavily in retail parcels only. Flour was dull of sale, but factors would make no further concession. [ADVERTISEMENT.J—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Rcvalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Liazetto du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has prodhced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We extract a few out ofmoro than 68,000 cures :—Cure Nu. 58,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint wasting away, debility, 'nervousness, with a nervous palpitation, all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in tolerable nervous agitation.

Cure No. 46,270: Mr. James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, a nd partial deafness.

After the fall of Wild Oats the principal market busi ness of the week has been the support given to Pretender, who has remained firm at 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 all through. The Duke of Beaufort has been very firm at 7 •to 2, though the demonstration in favour of Pretender has somewhat weakened his position. The Drummer has been backed at 7 to 1, and 100 to 15, but before the break-up at the Victoria Club on Friday a gentleman who is usually identified with the stable interest took six fifties. Frequent inquiries were made after Martyrdom, who would have met with substantial support had 100 to 7 been forthcoming. Tasman, even before his defeat at Newmarket, was friendless at 100 to 6, and nothing is heard of him now. The Chester Cup was chiefly noticeable for the continued support accorded to The /Egean, and a renewal of confidence in Paul Jones, about whom nine fifties were accepted by a well known owner and backer of horses. Fair Wind was in fair request at 100 to 8. At 33 to 1 Vansittart was occa sionally nibbled at, but the layers would have gone on at those odds. The Wild Oats affair is still the topic of conversation in.sporting circles. There is no doubt that the horse is gone once for all. His place in the quotations will know him no more. • With respect to Belladrum, opinions once more vary, but his place in the Two Thousand betting remains 7 to I—a price which would never be offered if the " pencil men" did not know what they were about. A training note from Lambourne states that he has been doing work—gallops of a mile and a mile and a quarter, and that he is certain to start. The fieldsmen, however, make mistakes sometimes, as witness Hermit and Blue Gown. There are meetings at Croydon, Lewes, Eastbourne, and Cardiff this week, but the Croydon and Lewes races will attract most attention, as few bookmakers will travel as far as Cardiff. On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be an immense number of sportsmen at Lewes, as a well filled programme has been issued. Scout, if brought on to try conclusions for the 100 Soya Sweepstakes, will win, but in his absence commend me to Ironstone or Cordicil laire. Epworth, from his Bromley performance, ought to secure the Welter Cup, and the Town Plate by Drewitt's best. The Two-yr old Plata will be carried off by St. Leonardo or the Nelly Hill colt. On the second day the principal race will be the Spring Handicap Plate, for which Epworth, 4 yrs, Bst 41b ; Viridis, 5 yrs, Bst 21b; Laird of Scotland, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b; Catalina, 5 yrs, 7st 91b ; Choral, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Black Diamond, 4 yrs, 7st ; Bretby, 3 yrs, Est 121 b ; the gelding by Weatherbit, out of St. Agnes, 3 yrs, Get 91b; Acaster, 3 yrs, Est 71b; Spider, 3 yrs, Est 71b ; Peninsula, 4 yrs, Est Mb ; and Workman, 3 yrs, sst 101 b, are likely to be found at the post. The best of this lot I take to ba Epworth, and, in his absence, shall trust to Drewitt's representative, either Choral or Work man. The Croydon Grand National Hurdle Race should be won by Orno or Barnabo, and the Grand Open Steeple chase looks a moral for Globule or Steamboat. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES. APRIL.
