`MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce. Markets during the last few days. A very limited business has been done is tea, and prices have shown no material variation ; sugars have been moderately dealt in at late rates; coffee has continued in steady request, and dm finer descriptions of Plantation are held for higher quotations, owing to the deficiency in the stocks on hand. Moderate transactions have taken place in rice, fruit, and spices, but prices have not varied to any important extent. In saltpetre the dealings have been of a retail character ; the stocks on hand, however, show an increase of nearly 1,000 tons. Tallow has been jai active request, and prices for both present and forward delivery show an upward tendency. Continued activity pervaded the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, and enhanced quotations were current for most descriptions. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. The steamer La Plata, which leaves to-day for the West Indies, will take out £5,000 in gold and £l,OOO in silver. The Sultan has arrived from Lisbon, with £18,7'/01 in specie. Owing to the, arrangements in progress for the bills due on the 4th of the month, there is more dem an d for discount accommodation, enquiries now being made at the Bank of England, while an activ e business is reported in private circles. The effect of the payments may be merely temporary, but it is generally expected that the market will continue firm, especially as the specie movement is likely to become rather less favour able, although the imports may continue to leave a balance for the Bank of England. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 14th ult., exhibited an increase of £2,545 compared with the same period in 1859. A small amount of business has been transacted to-day in the market for Public Securities, specu lation being very dull, and the Funds, although inactive, continue steady., Consols being 93 to 931 for money, and 931 for the account.

The readers of this story will certainly not be able to complain of lack of incident, for the plot is singularly intricate, and the variety of events and characters would be more than sufficient for the ordinary three volumes. The scene is laid chiefly on the sea coast some fifty years ago, and the smuggling which was then so extensively practised forms a prominent feature. Indeed the lives of all the chief actors in its pages are chequered by NOM strange and startling incident. Either they have themselves outraged the law, or they have connived at the misdeeds of others, or become involved in some perilous secret which keeps them in the power of their associates. More than one murder darkens the tale, and plots and counter plots are thickly interwoven. The heroes and heroine aro introduced in childhood. They are Edward Mountjoy, the son of a privateer and smuggler, and Reginald and Gratiana Dawson, the children of a small landowner. Mr. Dawson, their father, is described as a perfect monster, and is painted in true romaneist's colours. He has killed his wife some years previously, a fact that puts him in the power of his smuggling neighbour, Mr. Martin, and he crutay ill-uses his unfortunate chil dren. In his o• - ,vn opinion he occasions the death of his daughter, by causing her to fall "over the cliffs," and his deathbed is haunted by the recol lection. This event gives its title to the story , but in reality it is not so tragic an occurrence as the name implies, for Gratiana is rescued by Edward Mount joy, her smuggler lover, who is watching below, and whose meeting with her has been the cause of her father's anger. When she recovers, after many months, from the effects of her frigbtful accident, she no longer refuses to become his wife, knowing that all at her home believe her to be dead, and feeling that she no longer owes obedience to her father's commands. Her brother has adventures Of his own, including capture by the enemy, and escape from a French prison by favour of the commandant, wbo proves to be a relative of his mother. There is another romance con nected with (the story of Agnes Erlingham, Edward Mountjoy's mother, and her treacherous cousin, who murders her father, and is the secret enemy of her son. Besides these we have many other characters, prominent among them being Hortense, the French commandant's daughter, and fair Lily Fowler, the rival candidates for Regi nald's affections. Then there are Frank Dawson and Ocean Margaret, who has been saved from a wreck in childhood ; and Mary Horton and her father, who is one of the many aspirants to Grace Daw son's favour. There are besides many minor flaures occasionally flitting across the stage or filling up the background, often appearing as the tools of the leading actors. With so numerous a escapee whocape s seeks a nd adventures of every cortege and such stirri n g scenes, with lo ve and hate, war and murder, shi P description, w reek ss the ui read erde sui cides, excitement and vivid interest w ill probably be de lighted with the perusal of this s tory. Those who pre fer quieter and more natural delineations, who find a l of charm in the faithful portraitu re of char a ever cter d and records of the trials and strugg y but we will perhaps object to the intricacy ' s of the y- plot a and occasional extravagance of the characters, we must remember that it refers to a time and scene which was very different from the calm and rou tine existence of the present day. Theauthoress _ unquestionably possesses ability, and if in future she will preserve a little more simplicity and con nection in her plot, and ri , duce the superfluous talent branches of her story; she will display l s ier well a for construction to greater advantage, a making her tale appear more life-like and probable.s The style is generally good and occasionally im pressive, and we have no doubt that future works from the same pen will deserve still higher com mendation. CHATHAM, October 1.--This morning 34 medical students, for commissions as army surgeons, joined the headquarters of the medical department at Fort Pitt, in order to undergo the necessary course of instruction at the new army school, which is to be opened to-morrow, when the inaugural lectures will be delivered by the several pro- Nom SHARE 211ARKET.-(P.HIS DAY.)

WHEELER AND OTHERS.-MRS COBBETT SUCCESSFUL AT LAST. Mrs. Cobbett this morning made an application, before Mr. Baron Wilde, for a writ of habeas corpus cum cause, directed to the keeper of the Queen's Prison, to bring up her husband, William Cobbett, who has been detained in prison upwards of four years, at the suit of the defendants, for the costs of an action brought by Mr. Cobbett against the defendant, and which was tried at the Spring Assizes for the county of Southampton, in 1355, when Mr. Cob bett was non-suited ; the object of the habeas being to enable Mr. Cobbett to be heard in support of his application to be discharged, on the ground that he was illegally detained in custody, as the Act of Parliament, the Turn pike Act, not giving any costs where no damages, and the action having been brought by Mr. Cobbett, as mortgagee of certain turnpike tolls near Southampton. Mrs. Cobbett said her husband claimed the writ under the general habeas corpus, as a matter of right, from the judge in his ministerial capacity, and not in a judicial capacity in vacation, the Courts not being sitting, and, produced a letter from Mr. Cobbett to the judge, in which he set forth the grounds of his application for discharge, and the Acts of Parliament, and the cases he relied upon in support. Mr. Baron Wilde having read the affidavits and state ment gave his fiat for the issuing of the writ. The application for discharge has been heard by almost every judge and refused. Mr. Baron Wilde will be the last to hear the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.} MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT WITH THE KNIFE IN ST. MARTIN'S WORK HOUSE.—Richard Norman, 19, an inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with cutting with a table knife in the workhouse, a boy named Joseph Anderson, also an inmate. Michael Brannan, porter of the workhouse, said that about 7 o'clock the previom evening ho saw the boy An derson come across the yard bleeding from his neck. He asked who had done it, and was told the prisoner. He at once, as the board was sitting, took the prisoner before it, and they ordered him to be given into custody. The pri soner only said the boy had taken a piece of his bread off the table where he was sitting. (Brannan produced a table knife.) Joseph Anderson, the boy, said that while having supper the prisoner asked him to have a piece of broad and butter, and as soon as he took it from the table the prisoner seised up the table knife produced, and threw it at him, and it stuck in his neck. Mr. James Barnett, the master of the house, said he took the boy to the surgeon, who attended to him, and although as the boy was very healthy there was no danger, still the surgeon had informed him that the wound, had it ex tended a little farther, would have:caused the death of the boy. The boy was a very good boy, and the prisoner had been convicted before Mr. Bingham at this Court for an assault on a man in December last with a poker, when he was committed for a month with hard labour. Mr. Mansfield, observing that the prisoner was a stout, muscular-looking fellow, asked why he was in the house ? Mr. Barnett said the prisoner came to the house, said he was destitute , and they were obliged to admit him. Mr. Mansfield said there was no proof of his destitution, and again asked why he was in the house. He was not a cripple, or incapable of working. Mr. Barnett said he was sorry to say there were a good many able-bodied in the house, and they were obliged to admit them or they would soon come to that court com plaining. Mr. Mansfield said the prisoner was well able to earn hi■ own living, and simply on his saying he was destitute he was admitted. In the part of the country he had been con nected with there were none admitted to the house but the aged, cripples, and children, who were destitute. He should sentence the prisoner to pay a fine of 40s. or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. TIZIS DAY'S MARLETS. HAY MARKETS.

HEALTH OF THE EARL OF DERBY.—We are re joiced to hear that it ie stated, on the authority of the medical attendants of the Earl of Derby, that his lordship has passed through the dangerous stage of the attack by which he was assailed, and that he is progressing rapidly towards recovery. LORD DERBY.—lnheriting to the fullest extent the partiality of his father and grandfather for field sports, Lord Derby has for years been one of the strongest sup porters of the turf, and has contributed materially to the maintenance of its honour and well-being. Originally he had the management of his father's stud placed in his hands, and found time from his political engagements to see that their trainers, Saunders and Pearce, did justice to them. Whoa he began, however, on his own account, he joined John Scott's stable, and has since remained in it, through good and evil report, leaving entirely the conduct of his stud to the veteran who is at the head of it. And well has the confidence been bestowed; for although, to John's intense mortification, he has never been able to pull him through a Derby or a St. Leger, twice, when his prospects for them looked the brightest, his horses De Clare and Boiardo breaking down, he has yet, by the excellence of his training, and the judicious manner he has engaged them, gained for him most of the distin guished prizes on the turf, and rendered his training bill a mere bagatelle. To instance the .correctness of our state ments, we may enumerate, among other victories that are emblazoned on his escutcheon, the Oaks of 1851, with Iris ; the Two Thousand Guineas of 1856, with Fazzoletto ; the One Thousand, with Ce.nezou and Sagitta in 1848 and 1860 ; the COS rewitch in 1819, with Legerdenfain ; the Goodwood Cup in 1819 and 1850 with Canezou, who also carried off the Don caster Cup in 1819. The Great Yorkshire Stakes he won three years out of four, viz , in 1853, 1854, and 1856, with Umbriel, Acrobat and Fazoletto ; and but for the treache r y o f th e l a d who ride Acrobat in the Chester Cup, he should have been credited with that race also. The Derby has always been fatal to him • his favourites for it, and on whom he most relied, viz., Dervish and T3x.opholite, being endowed with more speed than staying powers; bat had not De Clare broke down on the Sunday previous to the race, his trainer always maintains he would have worried Wild Dayroll to death, and defeated him. Produce Stakes innumerable have fallen to his lot at Newmarket, Ascot, and York ; and at Northampton his two-year-olds were wont to be very formidable. Such successes, obtained by his own blood, reflect quite as much credit on Lord Derby as a breeder as it does on John Scott as a trainer.—Baily' CRYSTAL PALACE. — Mademoiselle Titions and Signor Giuglini, after a lengthened absence from the con cert room, have arranged to give a series of three concerts at the Crystal Palace, on the 4th, 6th, and 9th inst.

EXAMINATION OF MULLINS AT THE THAMES POLICE COURT.—(THIS DAY.) James Mugins, aged 50, who stands charged with the wilful murder of Mrs. Mary Emsley, a widow lady at No. 9, Grove-road, Mile-end-road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, at the Thames Police Court, this afternoon, at one o'clock, upon remand. _ The prisoner arrived soon after 11 o'clock from the House of Detention in the police van. A great number of per sons had then assembled in the street near the Court, and the mob continued to increase until the prisoner was ar raigned in the dock, at which time the Court was crowded to excess. Mr. Wontner, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for he relatives of the deceased ; Mr. T. W. Ratcliff, solicitor, of Dean Co let House; and Mr. Rose, solicitor, were also in attendance. Since the last inquiry Inspector Thornton and Police Sergeants Tanner and Thomas of the detective police, A division, have been pursuing their inquiries and endeavour ing to strengthen the chain of circumstantial evidence al ready brought against the prisoner. It may be necessary to state that the barbarous murder of Mrs. Emsley was committed on or about Monday, the 13th day of August last, She was last seen alive on that day, collecting rents of the tenants of sundry small houses, and she is supposed to have received about £lO on that day, and it is believed that this money was the object of the murderer's cupidity. The prisoner was formerly attached to the Irish constabulary, and acted on many occasions as a spy and informer in the prosecution of Ribbonmen and others in Ireland. He was afterwards a sergeant in the K division of Metropolitan police, and was superannuated on a pension of £35 per annum. He subsequently obtained employment on the South-Eastern Railway, and com mitted a serious robbery, for which he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude. After the ex piration of his sentence he sought employment of Mrs. Emsley, to whose late husband he was known, and she not knowing his antecedents employed him occasionally in the repairs of the numerous tenements belonging to her. He became well acquainted with her habits, and although she was very cautious with strangers, and would not admit anyone without first looking through the window, or going into the area and inquiring their business, Mullins would have no difficulty in procuring admittance, as he was well known to her, and in the practice of calling at her dwelling on business, and to receive pay ment for his services. Tho attempt of the prisoner Mullins to implicate an innocent man named Emma, who was also in the employ of the deceased, by depositing a parcel, containing a cheque given to the deceased on the 13th of August by one of her tenants, and some other property belonging to her, and then giving information to the police, must ever stamp him as a villain of the deepest dye. The object of Mullins was to obtain the reward of £3OO offered for the apprehension and conviction of the murderer or murderers of the unfor tunate Mrs. Emsley. The circumstantial evidence already given leads to the strong conclusion that Mullins was the murderer of the old lady, and that he would have been guilty of another murder by the conviction of an innocent man, but for the tact exhibited by Thornton and Tanner, the detectives, who saw thrcugh the plot, and after the prisoner had pointed out the parcel in the shed belonging to Emms, took Mullins into custody. It may be said that Mullins " was hoist with his own petard," while the chain of circumstantial evidence produced verifies the truth of the beautiful passage of Shakespeare, " Murder, though it hath no tongue, speaks with most miraculous organs." Mr. Herbert Wood, solicitor, again attended for the pri soner, who, on being arraigned, appeared very collected, and in better health and spirits than he was on Wednesday last, upon his third examination at this court. Mr. Wontner, for the prosecution, said the course he in • tended to pursue was to complete the evidence against the prisoner on the charge of murdering Mrs. Emsley. Tho witnesses to be called to-day speak to the prisoner being in the neighbourhood of the Grove-road on the night of the murder, and the only pp in evidence was the time at which the murder was committed, which could not be ac *muted for, and that the prisoner would have satisfactorily to account for. In addition to that there would be one or two pieces of evidence of a miscellaneous description, such as the finding of the boot which had some human hair upon it, but he did not attach any very great importance to that circumstance, as the prisoner was a plasterer, and that being so the hair would easily be accounted for. In his opinion it would be too violent a thing to assume that the hair so found was that of the deceased Mrs. Emsley. He should also call witnesses to prove that Emms could not have been in the house when the murder was committed. In the evidence he should offer to-day he shoull ask for the committal of the prisoner for murder. The following witnesses were then examined : James Clark—l am 15 years of age. I live with my father at 10, Temple-terrace, Bethnal-green. I know the prisoner by sight. I last saw him on Monday, the 13th of ♦ugust, at my father's house. He was at work there. Ho began at two and loft off at four. The job was finished then. Cross •examined—l am a cooper. I work at home. I was not at work all that day—not in the afternoon. I was at home the whole of the time from two to four o'clock. Isaac Tyrrell—l live at 1, Temple-terrace, and am a shoemaker. The prisoner Mullins worked at my house on Monday, the 13th (the day of the murder.) He left at about six o'clock. Ho was engaged in knocking down a portion of the ceiling. He used a chisel-pointed hammer, such as plasterers used. Exactly like the one now pro duced. It seemed sharper on the edge then than it is now. He was using mortar. He went out to get some hair to mix with it. He did not finish the job that night. He came again on Wednesday. I expected him to finish on the Tuesday, the next day, but he did not come. Mr. Wood declined to ask the witness any questions. James Raymond—l live at 12, Heston-square. lam a tailor by trade. I know Grove-road, Stepney, and was there on Monday, the 13th of August. I was at a public house at the top of the road at ten minutes to eight in the evoning. I saw the prisoner there, I am certain of that. He went round the corner as if going to the Grove-road. I have not seen him since the 13th until this morning. There were several persons in the room. I picked him out from among them. John Mitchell—l live at 3, Eden-place, Heaton, a sea man, but I occasionally work at the docks. I worked in the dock on the 14th and 15th of August. I had to pass through Stepney-green to go to my work. There can be no mistake about the prisoner being the man I saw in an agitated state at about 10 minutes past 5 on Tuesday morning, the 14th. It was close to the Baptist Chapel, Garden-street, Stepney green. Mullins was going towards the Mile-end-road, when he met me. His eye balls seemed to be coming out of his head —his whole frame trembled and his knees knocked under him, and his lips quivered. His appearance excited my curiosity. As ho got near me ho crossed the road and passed close by me. I stepped on one side and took my hands out of my pockets, and then he stag gered back. What I had seen induced me to commu nicate with the police at Robert-street, about 10 days before he was taken into custody. I afterwards went to the House of Detention, and on being shown the cells in which the prisoners were confined, one in each, I found the prisoner in one of them. lam certain he's the man I saw en the morning I have referred to. Mr. Wood said he did not wish to ask any questions. By Mr. Selfe—lt was on Stepney-green I saw Mullins. It was at the end of Garden-street. I was going to tho East India Dock. The prisoner was coming up the Mile end-road. The prisoner would have to come round by the Gas-house to get to the spot 'where I met him. Mullins would have to go out of the direct road from Grove .road to get to where I met him. I have not been examined before the Coroner. Caroline Brimson—l live at 33, Barnsley - str eet, Bethnie green. I went to live there the day before Mrs. Ems was supposed to have been murdered. The prisoner lodge d in the same house. He occupied a back room on theogoror ground floor. There was no proper fastening to the front d, the lodgers came in and out as they l iked. I sew him the first time on the Wednesday night. Sergeant Thomas, 8 F, re - ca lled e ntered the room k A e u y gu which . w I s h a e w n i s n p byo t k h e e n h t o o us e o t the e the last deceasedNtn Vl ess n . I kper I took the prisoner into custody, he 108 haem a d no key of his lodg ing upon him. I had a uthority to break open the door of o tdtahof his room. I have tried the key I hold in my hand with the prisoner's room door. It both locks and unlocks it. I also produce a spoon which I found at the prisoner's lodg.- ings at Chelsea. It corresponds with one I found in the parcel found at Emma'. It bears the same stamp, and also is marked by the initial of the maker " W. By Mr. Selfe—l found the key I have spoken of in de ceased's bedroom. Elisabeth Fulre—l reside at 17f, James's -street, Com mercial-road East. lam tenant of a house, No. 14, in that street which belonged to Mrs. Ernsley. The prisoner set a copper in that house some days before Mrs. Emeley's death. He told me deceased had sent him to do the work, but had not allowed him materials to do it with, I asked what he .:s> - wanted, and he said, "about a peck of cement." I gave him the money to get it. The prisoner said Mrs. Emsley was a miserable old wretch, and would neither allow them materials to do the w, rk or half pay them for what they had done. He said " I was at her house this morning, and I give you some idea what a miserable old wretch she is. She was sitting down to a breakfast that he would not sit down to himself. She would not even allow herself a farthing's worth of milk to put in her tea, so she drank it without. It's a great pity such a miserable old wretch should be allowed to live." Mullins told me I need not take any notice of it to Mrs. Emsley. Mr. Wood declined is put any questions. By Mr. Selfe—lt was not until Mullins was in custody that I told any person about the conversation I just related. Robert Went, K 160—On the 20th of August last I was sent to search the coal cellar of the house of the deceased, No. 9, Grove-road. I found an old handkerchief in a tin. It had a quantity of money in it, viz., 432 in gold, and £l6 2s. in silver. _ . Dr. Gill—l examined a boot that was produced on the last examination. I found some human hairs projecting from between the welt and the sole. (The witness pro - duced it, it consisted of three hairs only.) Walter Thomas Emms—l occupy a cottage at Emsley's Brickfield, Globe-town, Bethnal-green, and am a shoe maker. I collected some rents for the deceased. I last saw her about two o'clock on Monday, the 13th of August, at the and of Barnsley. street, just as she was leaving it. She made a communication to me that induced me to go to her house on the Wednesday afternoon. It was her custom to go to Stratford with me on that day. I went to fetch her. I knocked at the door I think about three times. I did not get an answer, and I went away. I went again in the afternoon ; then I went to Stratford, collected her rents, and returned to her house about half-past nine in the evening. I knocked at the door, but could not gain admittance. I did not go again myself until the evening of the next day. I could not than get any answer. On the following day (Friday) I communicated with Mr. Rose, Mrs. Emsley's solicitor. I was taken into custody on Sunday, the 9th of September, and I saw a parcel then in the possession of the officers. I had never seen that parcel before. I did not know such a parcel was in the shed adjoining my house. I was surprised when the officer showed it to me. On Saturday, the day previous, I was unwell ; I did not get up until half-past nine. I left the house for the first time that morning at half-past ten. I am certain it was not before that time. The place from which the parcel was taken is on the left hand side going out. I did not go near the ruined cottage at the back of my house that morning. I did not go into the ruin early that day, get a parcel, go back into my own house, and then return with it to the shed. I declare I did not, before God and man. I was not near the place, and I had no parcel in my hand that day. Mr. Wood—l have no question to ask. Witness—Has Mullins any question to ask me? Mullins (laughing)—l'll have a gentleman to talk to you in another place. _ _ _ By Mr. Selfe—Mullins has visited me frequently. He has more than once had tea with me, and he knows it. If he wanted to borrow a shilling or two he knew where to come to, and he's had it. Mullins looked at the witness and smiled, but made no reply. Susannah Emms—l am the daughter of the last witness. I was at home on Saturday, the Bth of September list. My father had his breakfast in bed that day. He did not get up until about half-past nine, and then commenced work ing in the same ro mas myself. He went out about half past 10, but he did not remain longer than 10 minutes. The window of the room in which we were working looked into the brick-field. Any one going into the shed must have passed the window, and I must have seen them, as I was working with my face towards it the whole day. My father did not pass the window that day. On the afternoon of that day I saw Mullins in the brickfield; he was near the school wall. He was looking down on the ground, as if in search of something. _ _ Walter Thomas Emma, a little boy, the son of Emms, about 10 years of age, said—l recollect father being taken into custody on a Sunday. Before that I saw Mullins in the brickfield on Friday, about half-past two. He was lying down, with a handkerchief up to his eyes. It was against the school wall. Ho stayed there about half an hour. I was minding my pigs. I saw him again on Sa turday, after dinner. He came towards a heap of sand, where they are putting in drain pipes. I saw him there for about 10 minutes, and then I went in and told my mother I had seen him. I was not at home when my father got up that morning. I was out with the pigs. Mr. Wontner—That, Sir, is the whole of the evidence for the prosecution. _ _ . The prisoner was then asked, in the usual manner, what he had to say to the charge, and he replied that he sho'uld reserve his defence. Ile was then fully committed for trial.

We had a goodly meeting of subscribers to-day, most of the members who had been at Newmarket putting in an appearance. The betting on the Cesarewitch underwent a little change. Conscript, upon the opening of the rooms, advanced to 16 to 1 (taken) ; towards the break-up, how ever, Barabbas and Optimist came with a rush, 14 to 1 was taken about the former, and 16 to 1 accepted about the latter. Starke, Rocket, IVeatherbound, and Feodorowna seem to be sent to the " right about." The amount of business done was hardly commensurate with the numbers present. Closing prices :—.

No previous contest for this or any other great event ever mys tified the racing public more than the betting on the present Cesarewitch Stakes. 20 to lon the field nine days before the race is to many a puzzler. A horse now at 3)to 1 ought, but will be at 8 to 1 before the word " go " is sure to win. He has kept an eye on every move while at New market, but in spite of all dodging is not to be cheated. Pitman has already tried one, Tame Deer has gone to try another, Master Bagot a third, and the fourth, and very likely the winner. Remember, nothing could stall me off St. Albans for the St. Leger, and come what may I shall remain staunch to the helm, with the confidence of bringing my friend's investments to a profitable and victo rious issue.

MELANVHOLY SUICIDE OF A CLE.RG rilf-A.N: Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. F. Langham, deputy coroner for Westminster, is the vestry-room of St. George's, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of the Rev. Edward Cobbold, aged 62, a clergyman of the Church of England, and brother to the rector of Wortham, Suffolk, who committed suicide at Thomas's Hotel, Dover-street, Piccadilly, by nearly severing his head from his body with a razor. John Chevalier Cobbold, banker and merchant, of Ipswich, stated that deceased was his nephew, and for some time past had occupied apartments at No. 7, Earl's-court, Kensington. On Thursday morning last deceased came down to Ipswich by train, when he observed that he was materially altered in appearance, very desponding and low spirited, and, in answer to witness, he said he had suffered from repeated attacks of giddiness and paralysis. He was a married man, but his domea tic and pecuniary affairs were such as to cause him great uneasiness of mind, more especially as he was of a very excitable and sensitive disposition. He returned to town the same day. Witness never heard him threaten to destroy himself. Betsy Thatcher, housemaid at the hotel, deposed that deceased came there about half-past four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and entering the coffee room ordered dinner. In the evening, between seven and eight o'clock, he retired to the bedroom he was to occupy, going up stairs in a very hurried and excited manner. On the following day, at 12 o'clock, she noticed drops of blood falling from the ceiling of the room under deceased's, and he not having been seen, the head waiter called in a policeman, when, on the door being forced open, de ceased was found dead. Thomas Mackney, head waiter and manager of the hotel, stated that, on entering that room, de ceased was discovered on his stomach on the floor, in a pool of blood, which had flowed from a fright ful wound in his throat. He was quite dead and cold, and had an open razor firmly clenched in his right hand. Police-constable 324 A produced property found in deceased's possession, consisting of £BO in bank notes, some silver and copper moneys, and two me morandums, as follows :—" Ask Alfred for Miet's dividends for distribution, and the £2,000, &c., &c." " Should Ibe found dead of apoplexy or pa ralysis send to my brother, the Rev. Richard Cob bold, Wortham, Suffolk." The first witness identified the writing as that of deceased, whose life was insured for £2,000, as well as for £6,000. Mr. Bloxam, jun., surgeon, having said that the wound must have caused almost instant death from loss of blood, a verdict was returned of temporary insanity-.
