During the last few days there has been rather m ore animation in the Foreign Colonial Produce Markets. Tea, however, has been only mode reltely dealt in, as both buyers and sellers have dieferred their operations until the arrival of ad vices from China by the Overland Mail. For sugars there has been a more active demand, and a slight advance has taken place in the value of the better descriptions; the refined market however remains dull. Coffee has been ex ceedingly inactive, and to effect sales holders had to give way 6d. to I.s. per cwt. In rice a steady business has been done at fully late rates, and the transactions in fruits and spices have been to a reasonable extent. Tallow, after the late important. advance, has slightly receded, chiefly owing to speculative sales ; the quotations for spring delivery showing a decline of about 3d. per cwt. The demand for money continues moderate, and the rates are rather easier. On the Stock Ex change loans can still be negotiated at 2 per cent. Rather more activity was exhibited in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices more firm. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The steamer Delta, which leaves to .morrow, will take out L 30,700 in gold for Alexandria, and £9,600 in gold and £2,705 in silver for Bombay. At the meeting of the Globe Insurance Com pany yesterday a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. About £7o,ooo,tincluding 50,000 sovereigns, was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday, the bullion dealers ; in the absence of fresh supplies, being compelled to resort to that establishment. The Red Jacket, with £152,116, however, has just arrived from Australia in 100 days, and this re mittance will probably satisfy the immediate demand for exportation. Towards the close of business yesterday after noon the tendency of prices in the English Stock Market was rather unfavourable, and further indi cations of weakness are now observable, owing to a few speculative sales, Consols being 921 for transfer, and 92 93 for the account. The specie movement seems to be producing an unfavourable effect; busiuma, however, is exceedingly dull. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 913 L,-; Long Annuities at 161 ; and Exchequer Bills re main at 2s. dis. to 2s. prem. ; India Stock is heavy at 2193 ; ditto New Loan at 1024 103. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues moderately active, and prices are well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701, to 701; ditto New, 55J to 561 ; and the 4 per Cents. are 1011 ; Sar dinian are firmer at 85i ; Dutch aro firmer at 641 ; Spanish at 481 49 ; Portuguese at 441; Gre nada Deferred at ; and Russian 4 per Cents. at 934. The Ocoan Marine Insurance Shares are 1y to 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, a 1 prem. ; and the Universal, prem. Messrs. D.

I left of my own accord., I am certain it was the 12th of August I left the Mar Thorough-road. I went to Barnsley-street; I got there about 12 o'clock. I shortly after went out to see how my father was getting on with his work. When I first heard of the murder , I recollected father was at home on the 13th. My father told me of the murder. I can't recollect whether I slept alone or with some children on the 12th of August. I never slept at Barnsley •street after the Wednesday fol lowing the murder. I heard that the murder was corn miffed on Tuesday. John Mullins—l am can of the prisoner. I live in Rose court, Smithfield. lam a dock labourer, now out of em ploy. I recollect right well my father living. in Barnsley street. I lived there with him. I was there on the 13th of August last. Mylpfather and brother (the last witness) were there that day. My father went out a little after S in the morning, and returned at 12 to einner. He went to work, and I next saw him that day a fe'w minutes before 7. He had his supper and went to bed P,t nine. I also went to bed in the same room. I kept 'awake for some time after I laid down. I got up at I 'alf-past seven on the Tuesday morn ing. My father got up at the same time. He had his breakfast and 'water-washed the passage, and at half-past 12 he told me he was going to the Cambridge -road to work. I never saw the boot, now put into my hand, before in my 4 life. They we ar bill y -cock hats in Ireland ; my father newt . Wore one. Cross-examined—At times in Ireland I might have worn one. lam not now in work. I had none for four months, because I have been in bad health. I have lived in Barnsley-street, and also in Offord-street. My father slept in Barnsley -street on the Monday night, and so did I. On Sunday night I slept in Barnsley -street with my father. I recollect his having his breakfast the next morning there. [The previous witness stated in his evidence that his father (the prisoner) slept in Offord-street on the Monday night.] I left Offord-street on Tuesday evening. I remained all that day in the house doing nothing. There were other persons in the house. I think Mrs. Music said my father whitewashed the passage. We can't find her. My brother went to sea in July. Re-examined—We have tried to find Mrs. Music, and failed. I did not wear a billycock at the time the murder was committed. Caroline Barnes—l reside at Lawreston Cottage, oppo site the house of deceased, in Grove-road. I recollect Mon day the 13th of August last. I saw deceased that day. I saw the house on the Tuesday morning. On that occasion I saw some one moving the paper hangings about in the top room second floor. It was about 20 minutes to 10. I saw the right hand window open a little way. I saw it ! opening. I could not tell who the person was in the room. Cross• examined by Sergeant Parry—l first heard of the murder on Friday. I saw the window opening about 20 minutes to 10 on the Tuesday. James Stevenson—l am a builder, and reside at Library street, Old Ford. I had occasion to go to Grove -street on the 14th of August last. I called at No. 3, Grove-road about half-past 10. I left a message at No. 3. Previously to the murder I had not particularly noticed No. 9. After I left No. 3, I went into the main -road, and stood consider ing how I should return home. When so occupied I saw a man with some paperhangings leave a house apparently about the spot of No. 9. This was between nine and ton. I waited far a minute or two, and then I went down the road and met the man face to face. I said, " Hilloa, what are you in the paper line ?" and he said very hurriedly yes he was. I said, "I didn't know that, or I could have given you a job." Mr. Best—Then you knew the man ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Best—What's his name. Witness—Mr. Rowland. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l dont know that the next house to the deceased was being re-papered. Michael Gatney—l know the prisoner at the bar. I recollect th; 14th of August. The prisoner did some work for me fnat day. I did not know him formerly. He came on tile Monday to look at the work that was to be done. Mr. Best—That is the whole of the evidence I have to offer for the defence. Mr. Sergeant Parry recalled the witness Rowlands, with the intention of examining him in reply. The Lord Chief Baron interposed. He did not know what was proposed to do, but, if the jury wished any par• titular question put to Rowlands, he would call him. A juror—l should like the witness to be asked whether he was in Grove-road at the timementioned by the witness. The witness Rowlands was placed in the box Lord Chief Baron—Do you know the witness James Ste phenson, the builder ? Witness—Yes; I see him in court. Lori Chief Baron—Did you see him at all in the Grove road on the 14th of August ? Witness—l did not. I was not near the place ; I was two miles off. Lord Chief Baron—You did not come out of a house in that road en the day spoken of ? Witness—No. I think it right to say a word or two in explanation. Tke time when I met Mr. Stevenson wa some time previous to the murder. Mr. Stevenson must have labov:eed under some delusion on the point. I have known 'aim to make erroneous statements; and I really don", think he's right in his mind. Caroline Brimstone said—l know the two younger Mul lins. Only Thomas was at 33, Barnsley-street, on the Tuesday as Mrs. Emsley was supposed to have been mur dered. I remember Mullins (the prisoner) whitewashing the place on the Thursday—not on the Tuesday —in the week the murder was discovered. Mr. Sorg-cant Parry then rose to reply—He said he should do his duty in a calm and temperate manner, and, at the outset, he thought the jury would agree with him that the witnesses called for the prisoner had not been of any service in meeting the charge made against hint. It was at all events a curious circumstance that the prisoner's daughter a few hours before she quitted her situation was known to have been engaged in removing a stone in the back kitchen It was more than curious—it bore the appearance that she intended to secrete something, but what that was it was impossible to say. She was no doubt anxious to save her father, and it appeared that she was net unwilling to strain her conscience. Then, with respect to the evidence of the two sons, to him it appeared possible that they had spoken a number of =truths, as no doubt could be enter tained that on the day they said their father was whitewash ing was the Thursday and not, as they said, the Tuesday. The evidence of Stephenson was certainly not reliable, as he was manfestly inaccurate, and ho thought that, taken as a whole, the evidence for the prosecution was over whelming in proving circumstantially that the prisoner was the murderer of Mrs. Emsley. It was incontestably proved that Emms could never have hidden the parcel where it was found. It was also as clear that the object Mullins had in view, in accusing him of the crime, was to secure the £3OO which had been offered for the discovery of the murderer. There did not seem to him to be a doubt but that the prisond had murdered the old lady, who was killed for the sake of obtaining a large sum of money ; but, being disappointed in that, he determined to obtain the money by any means, even though it cost another human being his life. Here was the motive for accusing Emms. Then was it not curious the manner in which the parcel was discovered in the shod of Emma' house ? After some further remarks, The learned iudge commenced summing up, and had not concluded when we went to press. THE DOUBLE MURDER AT BRADFORD.—The woman Mrs. Gowland, alias Sutton, was much better yes terday, and there is more hope of her recovery. The vicar of the parish of St. Oswald, Durham, writes to say he can not find any record of the marriage of Gowland and Sutton at St. Oswald's parish church in 1855. The brother of the poor woman, residing in Durham, writes to the chief con • stable touching the history of Gowland, whom he describes as the source of much family trouble and sorrow for many years past; also encloses two lettere received by him from his sister Margaret ; one under date of Bradford the 19th instant, and the other the 21st. She states in these letters that the cruel conduct of Gowland was unbearable, and that she intended to leave him again and return to Durham on Monday, the 22d inst., and asked her brother to meet her at the railway station in that city. The brother also states that, before coming to Bradford, Gowland had been six months in Durham Gaol for felony. He still speaks apparently under the impression that his sister is the wife of Gowland, and also states that they hare been thrice separated, MYSTERIOUS DEATII OF A POLlCEMAN.—Yester day a rumour was prevalent, which created considerable sensation throughout Camden-town, that a policeman had been murdered i n an encoun t er with burglars at the par sonage house, the residence of tho Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, ad joining the district church of St. Stephen, Pratt-street, facing the St. Martin's Cemetery. It appears that police constable George Brown, No. 229 S, was the constable on duty on the beat in which Camden-chapel or St. Stephen's is situate ; and that since a robbery took place at the church some years ago, the police have held duplicate keys to enable the constable on duty to enter the grounds, &c., during the night. The constable Brown was seen on duty near the chapel by his sergeantbetween four and five o'clock yesterday morning •, but as he did not return to the Platt street station shortly after six o'clock, the hour at which the night constables come off duty, some of his brother constables were despatched in quest of him. They conti nued their search, and it was net until after ten o'clock when, on entering the grounds of the chapel and parsonage. house of St. Stephen's, they discovered the lifeless body of their comrade, lying with his hat off in the shal low area attached to the parsonage-house in pool of blood, which was still pouring from a co. dread ful fracture of the skull. Mr. Birmingham, the po i surgeon of the district, was sent for, and en his arrival he found the skull driven in upon the brain, but whether from the effects of a fall over the area railings on his head or from the force of an inflicted blowwitihnsapoomee. about heavy blunt instrument it was impossible on cursory six feet e ; tion to say. The depth of the area is only he m coul d h av and it (.an hardly have been possible that in se sally fallen over and injured himself so frightfull y, distance. On the other hand there not appear to be any evidence of a struggle with anyone, and his hat laid a short distance from his head. The kis new the was quite was premises deceased ea perfectly well, and who a seen sober. The body was a avge d t o the deadhouse of St. Pancras Workhouse, wise re it a waits an inquest.

THE STEPNEY MURDER.—SECOND DAY. THE DEFENCE. The interest exhibited yesterday increased this morning, and shortly after the doors of the court were opened every seat in the court was instantly occupied. At ten o'clock the prisoner, James Mullins, was again placed in the dock, and the jury having answered to their names, Mr. Best, the prisoner's counsel, rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said it now became his onerous and important duty to address them on behalf of the prisoner, and he could not conceal from himself the awful responsibility that rested on him. He felt nearly overwhelmed with the responsibility, because he was afraid that, in the discharge of his duty, he should overlook some important fact which might militate against tie freedom and life of the prisoner. He could not but say he felt greatly indebted to the learned Sergeant who had conducted the case on behalf of the Crown, and he felt he need sincerely implore the jury to do precisely as the learned advocate directed, to judge the case by the facts as they had been proved in evidence. In the month of August the unfortunate woman was murdered, and from the witnesses for the pro secution it was clear that the crime must have been com mitted by somebody well acquainted with her habits. It was proved that the deceased refused admission to her house to all but those with whom she was acquainted. It was without doubt that the person who committed the crime entered by the front door of the house, and the next question that had to be decided was, was Mullins the only man who had access to the house. The old lady had purchased a quantity of paper-hangings more than she hadneed for, and as she was of penurious habits it was nob improbable she was anxious to dispose of the property to any person dis posed to purchase it. Was it impossible that the murderer, whoever he might be, gained admission on the pretext of being a purchaser, and once having succeeded in overcom ing the first difficulty, there was the opportunity of com mitting the horrid crime, as the old lady resided quite alone in the house. It was generally known that she was a woman who was in the habit of collecting large sums of money, and to possess the money so collected some person must have secreted himself inside the house previous to its being locked up for the night by the deceased. Now, had it been clearly proved it was impossible for any other person but Mullins to enter the house P Ho thought not ; and if they were of that opinion the first doubt would entirely upset the theory of the prosecution. Adverting to the allegation that Mullins had been animated by the large reward that was offered for the discovery of the murderer, he contended that the communication had been made to the police before the reward of £3OO was offered. He could not pass from that part of his subject without remark ing upon the danger of the offering of these large rewards. Happily they had passed from a period when " blood money" was freely offered and paid, but the danger to some extent still remained, and the fact being so it was a subject that required deep consideration, With respect to the facts adduced in evidence touching the discovery of the strings round the parcel, the hammer, and pencil ease, they did not in any way tend to fasten the crime on the prisoner at the bar. The pencil ease, which was one of the strongest points, was not of any pecu liar description, thousands of them were 'offered for sale daily, and he did not think that any one would take upon himself the responsibility of saying that the deceased did not either sell or give it to Mullins, sup posing it was clearly made out—which he most strenuously denied--that it wag the property of the murdered woman. The next evidence which he should deal with was that of the dock labourer, of Mitchel, and the sailor. It must be recollected they did not agree so entirely as to be of any service to the prosecution. Mr. Rose had given his evi dence as to the finding a key which had been given to Mul lins by Mrs. Goltz, but there was nothing to show that the key had not been returned to the old lady in the ordinary manner and placed whore it was found. Dillon, the next witness, described the state of the body, and said there were splashes of blood all about ; that being so, the murderer must have been sprinkled, and had it been attempted to show that Mullins had any blood on his clothes. Dr. Gill also described the wounds as made by several blows, and another, an incised wound, which eorresponded with the size of the hammer, but they must receive such evidence with care, as there was no evidence to show that the hammer belonging to the prisoner inflicted the injuries, and hundreds of hammers of the same descrip tion would make corresponding marks. He must impress on them the fact that there was no peculiarity about the hammer. On the contrary, he begged they would recollect that it was one of the commonest description. Dr. Gill talked about two pieces of tape both having 33 threads, but ho had not ventured to say that the 33 threads were of the same quality and texture. The doctor also looked at the pencil-case ; there was a spot of some sort on it, but it was impossible for him to identify it as human blood. With re spect to the lenses identified as belonging to Mrs. Emsley, it had not been proved that they were in her possession when she met her death. Then the cheque which had been found in the parcel—it might have been paid away on the very day she received it, or she might have given it to some person. It was not a crossed cheque, and there fore he did not think that the same importance whia, was attached to it by the prosecution would be giver . t o it by the jury. Sergeant Thomas found the boot, ar ii it was said to correspond with th e pr i nt of blood on floor, and that the boot came from Mullins's house but where was the oth er boot? Why- ; :n Offord-street; and as So the hairs found on was only one found ? was one produced they might have come from the' atair in mortar, o r ou t o f th e rubbish in the dust-hole He thought, moreover, that if the jury carefully i 'lamined the boot they wou ld fi n d th a t the 'not correspond with th e na il s i n th e so l e. There pr did etwo prominent marks of nails, but if they were to make a mark with the boot three prominent nails would appear. He did not desire to criminate Emms, but he must endeavour to satisfy them that there was a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of his client. He did not wish to say anything that would tend to act detri mentally to Emma, but it did appear exceedingly strange that while he could not obtain admission to the house of the deceased, he should not have gone immediately to the friends of the deceased and made them acquainted with the circumstances. As to the evidence of Raymond, he thought the motive of his coming forward was plain enough. It was well known that witnesses received part of the reward in such cases if conviction followed, and perhaps this fact stimulated the witness who gave evidence that he met Mullins coming from Stepney-green. The learned gentle man then went on at great length to show that had Mullins committed the murder he would not have kept the cheque or remained in the neighbourhood ; and as to his agitation when the murder was spoken of, it might easily be ac counted for, as he was in the habit of doing work for her, knew her well, and felt sorrow at her death. He intended on the part of his client to call witnesses to prove where the prisoner was when the murder was committed; and it would be for the jury to decide whether they were the witnesses of truth. He should also call a man named Stephenson, who would state that he saw a man come out of Mrs. Emsley's house on the morning of the murder, and he would swear that man was not Mullins ; and he should corroborate Stephenson by a witness named Barnes, and it would be for the jury to put the evidence in the scale of justice and ascertain the value to be attributed to •--- - - - - it. If they had the slightest doubt they were bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt. Was it to the fact as to the hammer or the threads of tape which cor responded that the prosecution hoped to convict the pri soner. After some further remarks, the learned gentleman concluded a very powerful speech by calling upon the jury to judge impartially, and again urged that if they enter tained any doubt with respect to the prisoner being guilty of the crime, it would be far better that he should be al lowed to go forth and walk about— "The poor man's fear—the bad man's dread, The miserable outcast—the wretched vagabond." It now became their duty to decide the fate of the wretched man, and ho trusted God would oxide them to a right con clusion in this great mid ‘:, - ,kemn matter. The learned Pr'.,- - ilemait then called Mary who said--I am daughter of the prisoner. On 'ine 13th of August I resided with my mother at 12, Offord-street, Chelsea. Father lived in Barnsley-street, and sometimes came to see my mother. I had seen my brother James in possession of the pencil-case produced. I saw it as late as June last. I don't know where he is now. Cress examined by Sergeant Parry—l first heard of the murder on Saturday. I was in service at Mr. Gibson's, in Sloane-street. I read the account of the murder in the newspapers. I have seen Mrs. Emsley once. I saw my father on the Saturday night after the murder. I was dis missed the day after my father was taken. That is the only thing I can attribute my dismissal to. I was not dismissed for moving a stone in the back kitchen in order to hide something. I took up the stone to look for a shilling I had lost. I called the other servant, a little girl, to hold the candle for me. I was dis missed at 4 o'clock. I had the stone up at two. I have not seen my brother James since July—he is at sea. My father seldom came home except on Saturday. The stone I removed was in the back kitchen, by the side of the fire place. Mr. Gibson's is a large house. Thomas Mullins, son of the prisoner, said—l live at Rose-court. I assist my father in his trade. I remember Monday the 13th of August. I was staying with him in Barnsley•street on that day. My father came home about a quarter to seven. He did not go out again that evening. He slept in bed by himself. I have never seen the boot produced before. It is not my father's. I used to clean my father's boots. I never saw my father wear a billy• cock hat. Ho wore a hat on Monday. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—l last saw my brother James about three months ago. I remember the time of the murder ; my father was at home then. I now recol lect—l have made a mistake—he was not at home. My brother James is not in England. He went in the Mechanic for New York. I was not in work when the murder was committed. I was not working in the Marl borough-road in August. I will swear my father was at home on the 13th. I will not swear I was not at work at a greengrocer's, in Marlborough-road. The day I left I Sunday, tho 12th, I've only dour l Wo w n a t : o a m tw y o f r a k th o e n es.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—O n Tuesday morn ing, about 9 o'clock, an accident, resulting in the loss of three lives, occurred at the Bear Moor Colliery, belonging to the New British Iron COmpany's works, at Congreaves, in the parish of Rowley Regis, South Staffordshire. The accident, a fall of a great mass of coal from the roof of the mine, took place while the men were at breakfast, and, what is most singular, that portion of the pit was not then being worked, the three unfortunate persons who were buried beneath the debris, and killed instantaneously, having re moved to that part as a convenient spot to eat their meal. Their names are Henry Smith, Joseph Siveten, and Josiah Chivers, a lad aged 10. Smith leaves a widow and one child. The news of t he catastrophe, the pit being in the midst of a dense population, caused great excitement and consternation, and the wives, mothers, and children of the colliers crowded the pit bank to avertain the fate of their relatives. Rumours of 10 killed and many others sh o u t happily proved false, for except the three kille d no 'fr. person was injured. The workings of the pit hadedbeenfo r ea l ; sidered as safe, and as yet no cause can be assign singular accident, Inputs will bo held, Clf LATILSE I F .11-40111NES. The following description of the Chinese inftrual machines, by the late Lieut. Robert Thaine, R.E., is taken from among the papers of the Royal En c"in eers : " Three descriptions of infernal machines were fund in Canton. The first consisted of a lar ge cylindrical wooden tab, lined with tin, so as to be water-tight; its dimensions were—diameter, at. Sin.; depth, lft. 10in. At about three inches from the top there was placed a board, divided by small pieces of lath, in such a manner as to allow a great length of match to be laid on ,it; one end of this match passed through a whole in the board into the lower part of the tub, where the charge was placed, and the other end communicated with a small lantern-shaped watertight wooden box, fastened to the side of the tub. The top of this box consisted of a cone of tolerably stiff painted canvas, sufficiently flexible, however, to be easily pressed down; a t b h a e l e n t W t small iron rod, abo u t th ree - quar t ers t h e l ength of the box, f was fastened to th e a p ex o f t h e cone, and, on its being te a la Y i l t i l di N pressed d own, di pped into an earthenware jar, placed atthe bottom o f t h e b ox. The following seems to be the most pro b l ivehhi eh communicated this mac h machine e with w' a s t the e b d o : x — w ri a l s e a l end lew . e o d f to dip into the jar, which was partly filled with chlorate of potash, and also contained a glass tube filled with sulphuric acid. (Any other substances acting on each other in a simi lar manner to the two mentioned above would do instead.) Then, on the iron rod being pressed down, it would break the tube, the acid would come into contact with the chlo rate of potash, and the match would be ignited; or, possi bly, the jar might be filled with sulphuric acid, and the chlorate of potash be contained in a bag fastened to the end of iron rod, and into this the match would pass. Nothing was found which exactly indicated th e way adopted. From the great length of match, however, it seems likely that the machine was intended to be used as a sort of fire raft, to be brought to within a certain distance of shipo ig . , then ignited, and allowed to float down with the tide amongst them; or else to be fastened quietly to the side of a ship, the match giving enough time for the men who brought it to escape. The second machine was a strong wooden box, in the shape of a frustrunt of a cone, and of the following dimensions—height, 2ft 6in ; upper diameter, lft sin; lower diameter, 2ft. It was divided horizontally into three compartments ; in the upper the apparatus for firing was placed, the second contained the powder, and the third was filled with iron. The apparatus for firing con sisted of the lock of an old musket, communicating with the charge below by means of a brass tube filled with powder, and connected with clockwork, which regulated the time at. which the charge was fired. This was contrived in the following Nyly :—The lock was slightly altered, so that the hammer wo\ild descend on a trigger being pressed up ; this trigger was provided with a spring pressing it up, but was kept down by a lever catching on a stud; the long end of the lever, which was on the other side of the lock-plate, was immediately under a weight working on a pivot, and supported by a spring ; the end of this spring was connected by means of a short piece of twisted wire with a small tongue of metal working on a pivot on the clock case. On the great wheel of the clock there was a stud which, on its arrival at a certain point, caught in the tongue of metal, and as the wheel turned tightened the wire. The spring supporting the weight was thus pressed in, and the weight descended on the long end of the lever, disengaging the trigger ; the hammer then descended and the charge was fired. The time required for a complete revolution of the wheel was four hours, and the stud could be adjusted so as to secure the ignition of the charge after the lapse of any particular time less than that period. These machines were furnished with rings and staples, and a great number of buoys were found with them. Probably they were meant to be sunk near a place where ships were anchored. The third machine consisted of a strong wooden water-tight box, shaped something like a beat. Its dimensions were— Extreme length, 4ft ; shortest length, 2ft 4in ; greatest breadth, lft 7in ; depth, lft 10in. It was divided vertically into three parts ; the apparatus for firing was placed in the centre, and the powder in the two end compartments. Tho apparatus for firing consisted of three hammers and three nipples, fastened to a thick plate, which was firmly screwed down to the bottom of the box ; each hammer was provided with a strong spring, pressing it on to the nipple, so that to keep Mem cocked their ends were caught on the edge of a thick brass plate, which made an angle of about 40 deg., with the bottom of the box, and worked on hinges in such a manner as to allow of its being raised, but not lowered beyond that point. A small projecting bar of the same metal was fixed to the end of this plate. A species of cy lindrical bellows was also fastened to the bottom of the box; its top was supplied with two rings of metal working on two vertical iron rods, and a brass tube passed from the bottom of the bellows to the lid of the box. A stout bar of wood, of nearly the same length as the compartment, was at one end connected by means of thick twisted wire with the projecting bar of metal mentioned above, and the other was screwed on to the top of the bellows. On the bellows being inflated, the wooden bar was raised, and lifted up the metal bar and plate ; but when the plate had been raised to a certain height, the hammers slipped o its edge, descended on the nipples, and fired the charge. In some of the machines found flint or matchlocks were used, but in either case the method of firing did not differ materially from that just described. It seems a little doubtful how the bellows were to be inflated. Probably they were filled to a certain extent with water (so as not Co raise the plate, however), and then moored in the position they were meant to occupy; then on a r essel coming into collision with one of theso machines, it would force it under water, and the pressure of the water at the time of the ship's passage over the spot would be sufficient to deter- mine an explosion before she was out of danger. the boxes are very strong, bound with iron, and furnished with four rings." A BLACKSMITH'S BLIGHTED HEART. An amusing breach of pronle case was recently tried in one of the Australian courts, the plaintiff being John Pope, a blacksmith and widower, with two children, and the defendants a young woman, named Anne M'Kay and her husband. The declaration aserred that "the plaintiff, confiding in the said promise of the said Anne, hath always remained and continued, and still is, sole and unmarried ;" also that the plaintiff was always "ready and willing," &c., of which Anne "had notice," &c.; also that the plaintiff had performed all conditions precedent on his part, and that all things had happened before the suit to entitle him to bring his action, &c. Then it said, "yet the said Anne, disregarding her said promise," &c., "wrongfully and in juriously married another person, to wit, the defendant, Duncan M‘Kay." The declaration laid special damage thus :—" Whereby the plaintiff lost all the benefit of a cer tain wedding outfit and jewellery, which he had given to the said Anne." It claimed for the plaintiff £l,OOO. Tho jilted Vulcan was examined at great length I said I would not go in to tea without she would take the ear -rings and have me. I laid them on her lap. She took them. I put one in her ear,, then and there—at least, I'm not sure whether I did or her sister did. She told me why she I'd put it off for four months.

Witness—There were many things I sent her which I never charged. I sent her a dress, but I wasn't going to be so shabby as to charge her for that. Of course I was very fond of her. Mr. Michie—Why bring this action, then? Witness--Because she injured me. I sustained damage by her breaking the promise she made to me. Mr. Michie—Damages to your affections, or to your purse? Witness—Damages to both. Mr. Michie—Which was the more injured of the two ? Witness—l was put about so much that I went on a sick bed. I lost my time, and my health, and my business. She injured me by making a fool of me, and losing me my time, and business, and money. Yes ;it took away my appetite. But I don't know how long I was off my feed ; how long I went with out my usual beer, or my usual nobblor. She returned the things to me after the marriage. Mr. Miehie—Well, what do you want more? Witness—Why not return them before the marriage, instead of keeping them to make a fool of me? Mr. Michie—Oh, they'll do again just as well for the next time, you know, now you've got them. Witness—But what damages shall I ge t in them for that injury that was done me ?
