THE DAGENHAM MURDER. DAGENHAM, TUESDAY EVENING.—This forenoon, at ten o'clock, the inquiry into the horrible and mysterious murder of the police-constable George Clarke, was re sumed, for the sixth time, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner, and jury, at the Cross Keys Inn, facing Dagen ham Church. It would scarcely be imagined, considering the long period which has elapsed since the perpetration of the murder, that public excitement should still prevail. So far, however, from having subsided, the interest felt in the proceedings appears to have increased with each adjournment of the inquest, more particularly amongst the resident gentry, and more respectable:classes, resident in the vicinity of Dagenham and the surrounding villages. Notwithstanding the early hour at which the resumption of the inquest was appointed to take place, long before that time not only was the inquest room, but every avenue leading thereto, densely crowded. Mr. Superintendent Pearce was again in attendance to watch the case on the part of the police commissioners. Mr. Rawlings, solicitor, of Rumford, attended on the part of Sergeant Parsons (still under the strict surveil lance of the police); and Mr. Superintendent Macquard and Inspector Richardson, of the K division, as also several officers of the detective force, were in attendance. The Coroner took his seat a few minutes after ten o'clock, and the jury having answered to their names. Police-constable George Dunning was first called and examined—He said, my number is 397 K. I have been on duty at Dagenham rather better than nine weeks. Parsons has not during any part of that time been in my charge. During the time I have been at Dagenham station Sergeant Parsons has been there. I recollect the night of August the 27th. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on that night I was at the station, in a back room, and I heard quarrelling between Sergeant Par sons and his sister, who were at the time up stairs. Ido not know what they were quarrelling about, but I heard her accuse him of something. I could not distinctly un derstand what it was, but the reply Parsons made to that was—" Do you mean this affair?" but what affair he alluded to I don't know. When he said " this affair," she replied, " Yes, this affair, and others too." Parsons then began to cry, and I heard no more. I knew that he was crying, for he cried out loud, so that I could hear him. I spoke of this to Sergeant Pearson, who was at the time in the charge-room, and to Sergeant Corvin, the acting sergeant. I was called on to make a report about it on the Tuesday following, which I gave to Ser geant Pearson. By the CORONER—I heard Parsons and bus sister quar relling when I was in the street, and I then heard Par sons threaten to throw his sister down stairs if she did not hold her tongue. I heard no other threat. I think this was a quarter of an hour before I heard them when I was in the station. I have told you all I have heard, to the best of my recollection, and all I reported to Ser geant Pearson. CORONER—Don't you know that you reported to Ser geant Pearson that you heard Parson's sister say, " You know that you are guilty of it ?" Witness—No, I did not report the word " guilty" that I recollect. CORONER—You must recollect either one thing or the other, and if you do not you are a most unfit person to give evidence either before this or any other jury. George Corvin, police-constable 100 K—l am acting sergeant of police, stationed at Dagenham. On the night of the 27th of August I was on duty at the Da genham station. Between the hours of 12 and 1, Dun ning, the constable, called me to the stairs to listen to Sergeant Parsons and his sister quarrelling. They were up stairs and the door closed. I could not hear one word distinctly that they spoke. Dunning stated to me, whilst standing at the stairs, that " Sergeant Parsons' sister had said, You know you are guilty of it." That Sergeant Parsons made answer directly, "In this affair? " His sister then said, " Yes, and many more." Sergeant Parsons then called her an oppro brious epithet and burst out crying. That is the report Dunning made to me. lam certain every word I stated is carrect. By the CORONER—I heard a noise as if some ene was crying when I was at the bottom of the stairs. I could not tell if it was a man or woman crying. Dunning was recalled, and said he had no recollection of making use of the word '° guilty," CORONER—Why, you repeated to me, word for word, in the yard of this house, that which Corvin has now stated. I was very particular in questioning you, and the statement made by Corvin is exactly the report you made to me. Sergeant Pearson was next called, and declared that Dunning said to him that Parsons' sister had said to him, "You know that you are guilty." Julia Parsons, the sister of Sergeant Parsons, was here called in and sworn —She said—l recollect being at the Dagenham station. on the night of the 27th of August. I was with my brother up stairs on that night. His wife was away from him, at her father's, at Barking side: We had a few words on that night concerning our own family. I don't know how long we were quar relling, but should say halt an hour. CORONER—Do you happen to recollect what you said to him during the quarrel? Witness—l said very little to him. During the time we were quarrelling there was no allusion made to the death of Clarke. My brother was making allusion to his brothers not writing to him ever since he has been under arrest. Ido not remember what I said to him, but I was in a passion. Ido not re collect saying anything about the murder of Clarke. I did not say that he knew he was guilty of it. CORONER—WiII you undertake to swear that you did not say so? Witness—Yes, I will. Ido not remember having said anything like that. He called me some names I cannot mention, and at the end of the quarrel he cried. All I accused him of was concerning our onn family. CORONER—Do you recollect his asking you, when you accused him of several things, " Do you mean this affair ?" Witness—l do not recollect his saying so. I would swear he did not say so. I admit I was in a great passion at the time, and may not recollect all that was said between us. By the CORONER—I will swear that I know no more about the matter than I have already stated. I have no reason to believe the statement I have previously made about my brother being at home on the night of the murder is untrue. Edward Langley examined—l am a sergeant of the detective police force. I came to Dagenham on the 16th of last month. I recollect going to the spot where Clarke was murdered in company with sergeant Par scns, on the 18th, two days after I came here. On my return I picked up this handkerchief (now produced) in a meadow adjoining the field where the murder took place. On attempting to pi ik it up it stuck to the grass, and I then found that it was clotted with blood as it is now. The handkerchief was here produced to the jury. It is of silk, having a blue ground, with a figured orange, yellow, and crimson border, very old, and much torn. There was a great quantity of blood- stains upon it. The CORONER directed that the handkerchief' should be left at Dagenham station where it could be identified. That might in all probability lead to some discovery as to the owner. [Mr. Rawlings here expressed his wish, on the part of Parsons, that Inspector Richardson should he examined as to certain w rds allege 1 to have fall( n fr , r,e,4 t Parsons, whilst sitting '.t a mtb:ic-house d, by a witness named Clements.] Mr. Inspector Itieh,irdson was then sworn—He s- id, On Wednesday, the Stb of July, I was at Rumford, with Sergeant Pearson, who wits in front of me walltin;:, and we wnt into a public-house with Clements. When there, I asked f7lemerits what his name was? and told him to sit down. lie turned round and sat down upon the form, and in doing so Clements gave a very heavy sigh. Sergeant Parsons was sittin,g, a little to his right reading the newspaper. I told Clements that I had heard he has received a heavy blow in the neck, lie aaid, " No." I asked him to show me, and he took off his handkerchief. I then observed just under his ear an old abscess. I examined his chest all the way down, and I then let him go. Mr. Rawlings—Will you ask the witness whether he heard anything drop from Parsons on that occasion? CORONER—The most important thing is whether Clements got into the room before Inspector Richardson. Inspector Richardson—When I arrived Parsons was reading the newspaper, and Pearson and Clements were in the room. Mr. Rawlings wished to know if the inspector heard Parsons say anything, as stated by Clements ? The reason he wished to have this question answered, was the fact that he believed he could show that Sergeant Parsons was never left alone in the company of Cle ments. It had gone forth to the world that Parsonaand Clements were alone when the alleged observation (" Ah, poor fellow ! I wish I had not done it, now,' ) was made. Inspector Richardson, in answer to the Coroner, said, he certainly saw Parsons in the thoughtful position de scribed by Clements, but he did not hear him make the statement alleged to have been heard by Clements. Thomas Pearson—l am a police sergeant, 32 K. On the Bth of July I went to the Lion public-house at Rom ford with the man Clements. I first entered the room, mad Clements followed me. I found Sergeant Parsons there, sitting on the left-hand side of the room, reading the newspaper. I remained in the room, I think, about three ur four minutes, and then left and went to the bar. I was nut absent I should say more than half a minute. I returned to the room, and myself and Inspector Rich ardson then examined Clements, and I remained there until Clements went away. Parsons was reading the paper the greater portion of the time, but I heard nothing fall from him during the time I was there. By the CORONER —When I left the room, Inspector Richardson was standing at the door of the room with the door-handle in his hand. Parsons and Clements were, at the time I left there, sitting close together, with Clements on the left hand side of Parsons. The CORONER here inquired of Mr. Rawlings if ho desired any more witnesses to be examined, or if Par sons desired to make any statement to the jury. Mr. Rawlings replied in the negative. By direction of the Coroner, Kimpton, Farns, ton, Butfoy, and the other constables placed undf a t b,, surveillance of the police, were here sent for fz.oca the Dagenham police-station. On their arrival, Kimpton was first called, and said, in answer to the CORONER. that he had nothing further to state, and that the last evidence he gave was true. Earns was similarly questioned, as wore also lliekton and Butfoy, and they also sf.id their last evidence was tru9, and they had nothing 'further to add. There being no further evidence, The CORONER proceeded at some length to address the jury. lie obserked that the charge which they had s.) long had in hand could only be viewed as a murder of a unit mysterious chai%eter. tie had no ,;„.r I; f.xe f.twa.re that it etas their ditty not to allow their minds to be swayed by a. , .y ren , rts they might have either heard or read concerning thi s laments ,.,.4'; evidence adduced before them.

S.EPTEMIiER_ 24, 1A46. 1 pany with llickton, from the police station in Arbour square. Nothing particular occurred until the night I of the 29th of June (the night of the murder). On :that evening it was proved that the deceased went on duty with his brother constables at nine o'clock, and proceeded to his beat. The last consta ble he was seen in company with was Sergeant Parsons about half-past nine o'clock. The sergeant was then in the road on horseback, and Clarke on foot, and at this time the wife of Sergeant Parsons and his sister came along, and Mrs. Parsons having complained of being tired, the poor fellow Clarke, who was in good spirits as the time, offered to lift her on to the sergeant's horse, but did not do so. Parsons' wife and sister left Clarke and Parsons together, and he was not seen again until half-past ten o'clock, when Clarke was met by a man named Luke White. That was the last time, so far as the evidence showed, that the deceased was seen alive. He was missed at one o'clock in the morning, and at six o'clock on the 30th the deceased was reported by the police as missing. The body, as the jury were all un fortunately aware, was not discovered until four days after, when it nas found in the corn-field where the murder took place. Upon reference to the medical evi dence which the jury had heard,he (the Coroner) wished particularly to direct their attention to that portion of the case, as it was most important, clearly proving that the murder was the result of revenge. The murderer was not satisfied with killing his victim, but mangled him in the frightful manner seen by the jury, and de tailed in the medical evidence. Had the deceased been killed in an ordinary quarrel, or in the performance of his duty, his assailants would have been satisfied with in flicting on him a single blow or cut, such as had been de scribed, and then left him; but when the jury reflected on the horrible way in which the unfortunate man was muti lated they could come to no other conclusion than that this most atrocious murder was the result of revenge, and nothing else. The Learned Coroner here pro seeded to read over the voluminous evidence, commenting on it as he proceeded. In reference to the evidence of the police, he said that it appeared clear that during portions of the night of the murder Sergeant Parsons was not on duty. What became of Parsons between half-past ten and twelve o'clock ou that night, and be tween one and six o'clock on the following morning, did not appear, nor did Parsons exhibit any disposition to inform the jury. Again, the constable Butfoy endea voured to make it appear that he was not on duty on the night of the murder, having, as he said, got drunk at Romford, and that he was in bed from five o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th of June, until six o'clock the next morning, when he heard that the deceased Clarke was missing. Now this was positively contradicted by Kimpton and by Parsons himself, who said Butfoy came to the station at twelve o'clock, and said, " All right, sergeant." If Butfoy could prove he was really in bed, why then his time was accounted for on the night of the murder ; bnt if he did not, then there must be some sus picion attaching to his conduct. They had it proved, that on the morning after the murder, when Clarke was re ported missing, Parsons left the station-house with the constable Kimpton, and before he had.proceeded 200 yards from the station he proposed to Kimpton what tale they were all to stick to in reference to his being on duty on the night of the murder. Now that had struck him (the Coro ner) as a very strong and suspicious circumstance in the case, but it would be for the jury to s iy, what importance should be attached to it. With reference to the conduct of the police generally in the case, there were no words strong enough in the English language to ex• press the disgust which must be felt by all right-minded persons at their conduct. He applied his observations to those policemen who had been guilty of the foul and heinous critle, to say the least of it, of wilful and cor rupt perjury. The unfortunate circumstance was, that these very men, the servants of the public, had in tilt: first instance been engaged in tracing cut the perpetra tors of the deed and in forwarding the ends of justice, and they had been the principal means by which the ends of justice had been defeated. They had been en gaged to ascertain the perpetrators of the diabolical deed, and they had done everything in their power to repress the truth. Ira consequence of these circum stances the greatest difficulty and mystery had been thrown around the case; but it would be for the jury to consider whether there was suspicion founded on the evidence sufficiently strong to warrant them in returning a verdict of wilful murder against any person or per sons. He need not again caution the jury that they were hound to come to a conclusion without any hatred or malice, but that they were bound to do so solely from the facts adduced in evidence before them. If they did not think that the circumsta.ices were sufficiently strong to inculpate any person or persons in a charge of wilful murder, then it would the duty of the jury to return an open verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. With these remarks he (the coroner) would leave the case in the hands of the jury, doubting not but that they would come to such a conclusion as would satisfy their own consciences, and the minds of the public at large, in so important a matter. The inquest-room was here cleared of strangers, and after a consultation lasting upwards of an hour, the Court was re-opened, when the Coroner announced that the jury had come to a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." Mr. Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parsons, he now wished to know if he was to remain in the cus tody. or under the surveillance, of the police any longer? Mr. Superintendent Pearce said he had no authority to answer that question. The CORONER said he would undertake to say, that not only Sergeant Parsons, but the whole of the men who had sworn falsely, would be indicted forthwith for perjury. Mr. Rawlings said, on the part of Sergeant Parscns, he was prepared to meet any charge which might t e brought against him. _ _ THE CORN TRADE. BRITISH. The comparatively high value which wheat has lately attained has (as we expected would be the case) induced farmers to thrash pretty freely, and large supplies have been brought forward at many of the leading markets in the agricultural districts. Until within the last fee weeks the quantity returned as sold weekly at the towns which furnish the materials for making up the general average for the kingdom rarely exceed 100,000 qrs.. whereas the two last returns are, respectively, 150,000 qrs. and 152,000 qrs. Large, however, as the deliveries from the growers have been of late, the demand has about kept pace with the supply; and very little altera tion has, consequently, taken place in prices. Publi( opinion appears to incline as strongly as ever to the be lief that prices of wheat will be considerably higher than they have yet been; and though the upward move ment has been checked by the increased quantity brought forward, we doubt much whether any material fall from present rates will take place. The extensive failure it. the potato crop is a sufficient reason for coining to that conclusion, even were there no other; but it is now ascer tained beyond doubt that wheat is the only kind of grain, which has produced anything like an avera g e return, al, spring-sown corn and pulse having suffered so severe)) from the hot dry weather throughout the greater part of the summer as greatly to detract from the yield. Under these circumstances a very large importation of foreign grain is sure to be required; and as many of our continental neighbours are no better off than ourselves, we shall have to pay dearly to induce them to supply our necessities. For the present, however, a calm has succeeded to the recent excitement; and at some few of the leading markets a slight reaction has occurred in prices. From the western and north-western markets, the ac counts are also much less animated than they have been; former prices were, however, tolerably well maintained at Bristol on Thursday, and, excepting an abatement of about ls. per qr. on wheat, very little change occurred at Birmingham. At most of the shipping ports on the east coast the de mand for wheat has been good; and though the supplies brought forward have been liberal, good qualities of red, weighing 62Ibs. to 631bs. per bushel, have not been sold below 545. to 555. per qr. free on board. On the whole, less impression seems to have been made in prices at the different provincial markets, by the subdued tone of the London advices, than might have been expected; and there certainly does not appear much prospect of even a temporary decline. Our advices from Scotland inform us that the harvest was fast drawing to a close even in the most backward districts, and that the extraordinary fine weather hat; enabled farmers to secure the grain in capital con dition; still the crops of spring corn would, it was esti mated, prove very short, and even wheat barely an ave rage. In regard to potatoes the reports from thence are as bad as at any previous period, And though the in clination to buy wheat had been somewhat checked by the rather dull accounts from the south, the article was not quoted lower on Wednesday, either at Edinburgh or Glasgow; while oats were held at enhanced rates at both places. The Irish letters are for the most part taken up with speculations on the probable effects of the failure of the potato crop. The disease seems to be even more general there than on this side of the Channel; and oats, a crop of very great importance in that country, are also repre ' sented to have yielded considerably short of an average. [lather increased supplies had, however, prevented any further rise occurring in quotations of wheat. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been only moderate; and the show at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the home counties has been small. The averages are beginning to show th e e ff ec t s of the recent great ris e i n th value of wheat; the last general return for the kingdom was 505., and that for London 545. per quarter. Either on Thursday next, or the following week, the duty will recede a step; and, from present appearances, we are inclined to think that it will continue to fall until it reaches the lowest point in the scale. This is, however, now comparatively of little importance, as there are no stocks of consequence in bond; nor is there much prospect of foreign importa tions of magnitude, the French and Belgian markets still offering better prices than Great Britain, and the bulk of the pnrchases recently made at Baltic pc its have therefore been for shipment to those countries, to the ex clusion of English buyers. Of foreign free wheat there are still good stocks at this port; and somewhat more, anxiety having lately been shown by holders to realise, the extreme rates of last week have not been supported Both on Wednesday and Friday the transactions were ,f a retail character, and it was necessary to give way a trifle to induce purchasers to come forward. Bonded parcels have been held so high as, in a great measure, to check business. Orders continue to be received from France, limited rather liberally; but the high preten sions of sellers have prevented their execution. Of the 7,504 quarters of wheat which have arrived from abroad during the week, very little has been offered for sale from on board ship, importers preferring to land in bond, in expectation of higher prices hereafter. The town bakers have not bonght flour quite so freely during this as the preceding week; still there has been a fair sale for the article at the lately enhanced prices. The demand for American flour has also in some mea sure slackened, and, in partial instances, an' abatement of 6d. per barrel from the extreme rates of last week has been submitted to, to make sales. Good brands of United States flour in bond have been inquired for at 275. per barrel for export; but holders having declined accepting below 285., few bargains of consequence have been closed. The arrivals of English barley have not been large ; the malaters having, however, 'determined not to follow up their purchases at such high prices as those lately paid, the trade in this grain has become dull, and the trifling business done in new barley has been at slightly reduced terms. Grinding qualities, whether of home or foreign growth, have been held very firmly, and have commanded fully as much money as on any previous occasion. Though malt has come to hand sparingly, the receipts have proved about equal to the demand; and the value of the article has remained almost stationary. The market has been poorly supplied with English and Scotch oats. A few thousand quarters have arrived from Ireland, but, inclusive of 7,110 quarters from abroad, the total supply up to this (Saturday) evening has amounted to only 10,963 quarters. As is usually the case when the market is bare, the principal dealers have contented themselves with buying just sufficient to satisfy their pressing wants. This they have succeeded in doing without much difficulty at Monday's quota tations; but unless supplies speedily come to hand, the absolute scarcity of good oats will, we think, cause their value to rise. The consumptive demand for beans has, as yet hardly commenced ; and as prices are regarded as some what high for speculation, the business done in the ar tide has not been extensive. Floating cargoes of Egyptian beans might have been placid at 335. ; sellers having, however, been unwilling to accept that price, few parcels have changed hands. No English peas have come forward since Monday, and prices must, therefore, be quoted nominally, as before. Indian corn has been held very high, which has in terfered with it) disposal ; for yellow, 40s. to 435., and for fine white, 435. to 455. per quarter, has been asked, On Thursday the duty fell to 3k. per quarter on barley, rye, beans, and peas. FOREIGN. The CORONER remarked, that no doubt a few days would decide the matter, and if Sergeant Parsons still remained in custody he had no one to blame for it but himself. The proceedings in this protracted and truly mys terious affair then terminated. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT THE CROYDON RAILWAY TERMINUS. Between the hours of two and three yesterday morning fire of a very fearful character, attended with a serious destruction of property, broke out upon the Croydon station of the London and Croydon Railway. From in quiries made during the progress of the fire it appears that whilst one of the constables of lie P division was passing the Fox and Hounds tave'en he perceived a dense body of smoke issuing from, the lamp room of the ter minus. This satisfied the officer that a fire had broken out, and without a moment's loss of time he raised an alarm, but before any person had time to come to his assistance the flames broke through the roof of the car riage depot, a spacious building upwards of 100 feet long, aNd which was filled with carriages of the first and second classes. Contiguous to this build ing- stood another erection, in which several other carriages w. ere deposited. Fortunately the servants of :he comptny and p.blice sicc.2etled in saving the contents t'nis plaje ; . 14, on ,e, ing the imminent danger to which it was exposed, they pushed R train consisting of several carriages out of it. Intelligence was immediately sent to tho.ngine stations of the town ; and soon the barrack and parish engines arrived. By this time the old locomotive deyet was enveloped in fl:mes, and more than a drzLm fir,t and second-class curriage‘ were on fire, the flames from which illuminated the immediate dis- In proportion as the prospects of Great Britain re quiring supplies of foreign grain increases, so do price, advance on the Continent ; and it is now certain that to obtain the quantity we are likely to want, it will be ne ces-ary to pay very high rates. Letters from Dantrc of the 12th instant, ineorms us that the finer qualities of wheat had become scarce there, the old stocks having. been greatly reduced, and only trifling supplies having come to hand from the interior. Under these circumstances, holders had declined selling at former rates, and 48s. 63. per quar ter, free on board, had been paid for high mixed wheat, the growth of 1842, weighing 631bs. per bushel ; whilst secondary qualities bad sold at equal to 465. 6d. to 475. 6d., and inferior sorts at 435. 6d. to 445. 6d. per quarter, free on board. The purchase had been principally on French and Belgian account, very little having been taken for shipment to England. Freight to the east coast of Great Britain was then 3s. 6d. to 4s. .riot and a portion of the metropolis. This became a speedi,,r m, sscriger than the intelligence sent, and several London engines started for the place. The first th a t arrived belonged to the West of Enqland Company, from the Waterloo-road, under Mr. Connorton's direction: the Watling-street brigade engine, with Mr. Braidwood, was the next that came down, and Mr. Garwood followed directly after with the County engine, from Regent- street. For some time the greatest difficulty was experienced in obtaining a supply of water, meanwhile the flames pro gressed with such rapidity, that before four o'clock both the stations of the present atmospheric and the old loco motives presented an immense body of flame, which roared as it issued from the several windows like a num ber of furnaces in full operation. By leading the hose of the engines through the win dows, the military and firemen were enabled to pour a limited stream of water upon the destructive element ; but it had obtained too firm a hold to be easily extin • guished, and carriage after carriage fell a prey to the fury of the fire, and it was not until the whole of the combustible articles in the two buildings were burnt that the fire was subdued. The conflagra tion was only cut off just as it was attack ing the ticket station and booking-offices. Had the flames here progressed only a few feet further before they were stopped, the work of destruction would have been far more serious than it really has been. By eight o'clock the fire was so far subdued as to allay all further apprehensions of its extension. By that period, the old locomotive depOt was burnt down, an immense number of first and second-class carriages destroyed; the atmospheric carriage shedding was like wise consumed; the electric telegraph was also displaced, and a large number of the sleepers on the line :fere burnt, and the metal tramways were forcedint'', var i ous shapes, so as to prevent the regular transit of the train s .

Of spring corn none had come to market market ; peas had been inquired for at 355. to 365. per but there had been no sellers at those rates. At namburgh, on Tuesday, wheat was held at very high rates, good 621bs. red upland being then held at 535., and fine Wahren, of 62ilbs. weight, at 555. free on board. The extravagant terms asked had prevented much business being done, the English and French orders having been limited too low to admit of their execution. Sauk barley, on the spot, had been held at 355. per qr., but the sale had been very slow at that rate. Small beans, to be shipped from the Jabde, had been held at 40s. to 415., and fine new upland peas at 465. to 475. per qr., free on board. In the Dutch markets prices of wheat had, according to the most recent accounts, again begun to tend up wards ; and at Rotterdam, on Tuesday, the article was in lively request at an advance of Is. per quarter, whilst rye was quoted 25., and oats is per quarter higher than on that day se'nnight. In most of the southern and south-eastern countries of Europe the urwa?d movement in prices of grain has beer. more decided than in the northern markets, and there is very little prospect of Great Britain receiving supplies of wheat from the eastward of Gibraltar. We may, however, calculate on rather large arrivals of In dian corn from the Mediterranean, some pretty extensive purchases of the article having recently been made there on English account. Letters from Marseilles, of the 12th September, inform us that Indian corn had been in brisk demand for ship ment, and that equal to 28s. 9d. per quarter, free on board, had been paid. At Genoa similar prices had, it appears, been paid; and at Triest, on the 9th instant, its value had risen to 255. 7d. per quarter. A couple of vt siels had been chartered at the latter port, to load for Liverpool, at 7s. per quarter, 10 per cod. and 10 guineas gratuity.— Mark Lane Express. - The whole of ;:be cr:ariages destroyed were placed in the station rerAy for the first pa ssage thi s morn i ng .

IN RE HAYNES. the horse in question was handed over to him by a per son named Crutch, at the Sun Inn, Blackheath-hill, who had agreed to purchase it after inquiry, and had paid a deposit of ss. on account. Witness, from information given, followed and apprehended prisoner in the Black heath-road. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who had carried on business as a wholesale woollen draper in the City. The Learned COMMISSIONER, on application to that effect, adjourned the examination till the 26th of Nov., At twelve, to give the creditors an opportunity of inquiring into an alleged excessive expenditure on the part of the bankrupt. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Baron PLATT.) THE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL WAY.—The trial of Clare, the engine-driver of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, for manslaughter, was appointed for Friday next. FORGERY OF RAILWAY SCRIP. - John Bannister Faulhner, who stands indicted, together with a pereon named Bentham Fabian, with issuing forged scrip of the Buckinghamshire or Bletchley and Oxford Junction Railway, surrendered to take his trial this morning. Bentham Fabian, who is charged with forging the scrip, has absconded from his bail. Faulkner pleaded not guilty to the indictment charg ing him with issuing the forged scrip with the intent to defraud Leon Solomons, he well knowing it to be forged, and having incited Fabian to forge it. Mr. CLARKSON having stated the case for the pro secution, Mr. BALLANTYNE submitted, on behalf of the pri soner, that there was no case against him to go to the jury, inasmuch as the instrument was not intended as a receipt or acquittance for money, and therefore it did not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Justice MAULE said he would take a note of the objection, but he thought the case should proceed. The following witnesses were then called on behalt of the proseeutios. Edward Richards resided in Cavendish-square. Was in the habit of transacting business with the firm of Fabian and. Faulkner, share agents. The prisoner was one of the firm. Witness had raised money on Buckinghamshire Railway scrip for Mr. Fabian, to whom he usually paid the money. Had left money at the counting-house of Messrs. Fabian and Faulkner, and sometimes saw the prisoner there. He always transacted business with Fabian. Had previously to the 6th of May last got money from Mr. Solomon upon Bucking hamshire Railway shares for Mr. Fabian. Could not positively say whether he went to- Fabian and Faulkner's office on the 6th of May. Recollected seeing them oa that day, and Fabian saying there was necessity for their raising money. Witness went up with Fabian to Mr. Solomons to ask him if the scrip was left whether he would advance more money on the scrip that day. Solomons agreed to let them have the mcney on pro ducing the scrip, and Fabian then went and fetched some. The money was procured, and witness dined with the prisoner on that day. Did not see the prisoner before the transaction with Solomons. John Crutch, coach-maker, Blackheath, deposed that the prisoner called upon him about ten in the morning, saying he had a horse, &c., for sale, the property of his uncle, by whom he had been commissioned to dispose of it. Witness agreed to the terms, and paid ss. on account conditionally. He (witness) made inquiry, but could hear nothing of the party referred to. He then went to London with the prisoner to see his uncle, but his in quiries were unsatisfactory, and on their return to Black heath -hill he gave him into custody. The prisoner, in answer to Mr. TRAILL, replied that he had nothing to say to the charge, except that he was drunk at the time. Mr. Crutch said the prisoner was not in liquor, and that he knew perfectly well what he was about. Mr. Attersley said he would prove that the prisoner was seen to leave his yard mounted, at a quarter-past three o'clock on the morning of the robbery, the horse at the time wearing the harness, and gallop away. The prisoner must have been secreted about the stables all night. as the gates were closed and barred at elever o'clock. Mr. Thomas Clark, chemist and druggist, Blackheath-. hill, identified a great coat, value about 41., which bad been stolen out of his gig during the time the prisoner was employed to assist in the stable. The coat hail been sold by the prisoner to John Straw, another cab drive', for 175., and was traced by the police-constable to Mr. Brown's, White Hart, in the Borough, where it had been left. The prisoner here pleaded guilty to takingithe great coat. Rapsey, the police-constable, said that another stolen horse had been traced to the prisoner, taken from the stable-yard of Mr. Walker, a hackney master, residing in York-road. Lambeth. George Young, of the Black Horse, Whitcchapel, proved purchasing the horse of the prisoner. The wit ness disposed of it to Mr. Sammy, of Portland Town, who deposed to again selling it to Mr. Tomlinson, of the same place, for 61. 10s. . The prisoner was committed for trial. WANDS WORTH. William Wilson was brought up for re-examination upon a charge of embezzling varisas sums of money be longing to his employer, Mr. Cavenay, a milkman, and corn and coal merchant, No. 1, Britannia-place, Wands worth-road. It appeared that the prisoner was in the prosecutor's service about two mon:hs, and almost from the first day he commenced robbing him. The prosc cuter took the prisoner without a. character, and when he had only been a week out of prison, t►► which he had been committed for six months for breaking into a dwelling-house. Three distinct cases of embezzlement were proved against the prisoner, who was committed to take his trial at the present sessions of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. CLARKSON said that they expected this witness would have given very different evidence, and cleanly shown that the prisoner was an accessory before the fact. They had not evidence to carry the case further, and therefore the prisoner must be acquitted. The prisoner, under the Learned Judge's direction, was acquitted on all the indictments charged against him. Mr. CLARKSON said, that when the prisoner was taken into custody a considerable sum of money was found upon him ; he did not know whether the Court would make any order with respect to it. Mr. BALLANTYNE said, on behalf of the prisoner, that he had no desire to keep any money that could be shown to belong to Mr. Solomons. Mr. Justice MAIILE said he would make no order on the subject. Wm. Postans was found guilty of attempting to utter a bad half-sovereign, and having been previously son victed of a similar% offence, was sentenced by Mr. Baron PLATT to seven years' transportation. SEDITIOUS PUBLICATIONS IN JERSEY. (From the Jersey News.) eur attention has been called to a large printed paper, headed, in conspicuous characters, " Jersiais, Lisez ! ! purporting to be an extract from L'Epoque, Paris journal, of the 9th September, 1846. The article con sists of four long columns, and its seditious and treason able character will he seen from the following summary of it. It first alludes to the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to Guernsey on the 24th August, and de clares that it was done with a political motive, " to calm resentment, and to prepare the way for important alterations, which it had been foreseen were not to take place without resistance. This resentment was caused by the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General P. W. Napier, and the alterations in the destruction of the national language, Franco-Normandie, the Norman customs, to substitute the English laws." It then states, hat " England had accomplished these altera tions as much as she could in Madras, Quebec, Malta, Corfu, St. Lucia, and at the Mauritius, in spite of the formal terms of treaties and capitulations; and argues, that as Jersey is not a conquest, it only acknowledges of the three powers of the Baitish empire, but one ; the King or the Queen, and that only as Duke or Duchess of Normandy." It then goes on to establish historically, that the Channel Islands belonged to France, and then enumerates their advantages, and continues, that " they are situated nearer to France than England, too weak to form by themselves two completely independent states, in consequence of which they are obliged to acknow ledge the protectorate of one or the other country. Their possession is of great importance in time of war ; they have belonged to France, they have French man. ners, French language, and laws ; England then has been obliged to make it an El Dorado, to prevent them throwing themselves into the arms of France. That which has not been dared for eight hundred years with out almost incessant strife is wished to be now attempted. Encouraged by peace, which has existed thirty years, and which promises to last longer, the English Govern ment wishes to naturalise these old remains of an ex tinguished people, and assimilate them to England, in regard to language and law." The writer then proceeds to speak of the acts of the Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, giving him plenty of abuse ; and continues in a similar strain throughout. Now. this article appearing in a Paris paper, would have mattered but little, for none here either knows or cares what L'Epoque may say, but it is quite another matter when these sentiments are republished here for the purposes of sedition and treason. If Jerseymen, seeing, reading, and knowing the tendency of this ar ticle, have caused it to be printed, published, and ex tensively circulated, they have gravely compromised themselves. To make it attractive it is headed, " Jer saiais Lisex !" and at the end is also in large charac ters, "Soyez sue vos garde; le s , rpesf est sous lee flews" — Be upon your guard, the serpent is under the flowers. This matter requires the immediate interference of our authorities. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE, Joseph Pierce was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having broken into the warehouse of Mr. Colville, of No. 5, Little Friday-street, shawl warehouse- man. John Lawson Ure, warehouseman in the service of Mr. Colville, stated that after having closed and lacked up the premises for the night, after six o'clock on Tues day, he tried the door at half-past six, and found that somebody from the inside resisted. Upon pushing the door again he found the resistance gave way, and he saw the prisoner inside. The prisoner had a parcel in his hand, which he said was for Mr. Nicholson. Wit ness not knowing any person of the name referred to took the parcel, but took hold of the prisoner, who at tempted to escape, and gave him into the custody of a policeman. The LOAD MAYOR---How long before you saw the prisoner bad you locked the door ? Witness.—l locked it in the inside about three minutes before I saw him. Nothing was removed from the warehouse. Mr. Colville stated that he had never seen the pri soner before to his knowledge. He saw the last witness lock the door as had been stated. The policeman into whose custody the prisoner had been given, said that the prisoner stated, upon being ap prehended, that he found the warehouse open, and went in to shut it. Ire had a brown paper parcel under his arm, which he said contained a bag. Witness then took from the prisoner's hand a skeleton key, and immediately afterwards conveyed him to the station-house, and was proceeding to search him, when he said it was quite un necessary. The prisoner then produced three Urge bags, a screw-driver, a dark lantern, and lucifer matches, a knife, and a second skeleton key of larger dimensions than that found upon his person when in the warehouse, and which would have opened the outside door if it had been necessary. He had also in his possession a piece of linen, so that he had no doubt made every preparation for taking out a good quantity of property. The smaller skeleton key unlocked the door within, behind which the prisoner had been found by the warehouseman. Ibl LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, how do you account for this ? The prisoner (carelessly)—l thought the ware house was empty, and seeing the door open, 1 went in and shut it. That's all. The LORD MAYOR—And what did you want with the dark lantern and the lucifer matches ? The prisoner— Only to light my pipe. The prisoner was th en committed for trial to Newgate. GUILDHALL. A shoemaker, named Poyser, who seems also to carry OR the business of an accountant and land-agent, was brought up in custody from Nottingham (his place of residence), and was charged with daring and heartless frauds upon Mrs. Rachel Woodhouse, a widow lady, of the same town. It appeared from the evidence which Mr. Clark, the solicitor for the prosecution, was able to produce to-day, that the family of Stokes, in Nottingham, of whom Mrs. Woodhouse is the principal surviving member, lay claim to be descended from the Rev. Jonathan Stokes, who died in the year 1700, and is supposed to have left a very large fortune. The prisoner represented that he could put the prosrcutrix in the way of recovering the fortune To which she was intitled, and which he assured her he had ascertained to be at least equal to half a million. Upon this pretence be obtained on one occasion 201., on another 501., and at various times sums to the amount of more than 1001, which the lady raised by the sale of a small property. The prisoner from time to time pro duced to her letters, purporting to be addressed to him by a Mr. Fitzgerald Strachan, a barrister, reporting the favourable progress of the suit, and at length announcing that it was decided in favour of the prosecutrix and her relations, who were accordingly invited to meet their barrister and trusty agent at the London Tavern, on the 28th of July last, there to receive the first payment of 100,0001., and to arrange for taking possession of the immense landed property to which their claim had now, happily, been established. This last letter added that the barrister's cash was exhausted, and that he would require 501. to be advanced forthwith, in order to pre vent the otherwise unavoidable delay of three or four weeks in drawing the large sum of 100,000/. out of the Funds, where they were to the credit of his client. The 501. was paid, the happy family came to London, but after three weeks costly delay in the London Tavern, they returned to Nottingham without having seen or heard anything of the barrister, the prisoner, or the money. Mr. Poyser, however, on being reproached afterwards by Mrs. Woodhouse's brother with having deceived them, said that he would make it all right yet, if they soul// raise another 101. He continued to hold out hopes for some time longer that he would obtain the expected fortune for the claimants, until his dupes were advised togive him into custody, and prefer a charge of obtaining money under false pretences in this court, as it was in Basinghall-street the first sum of 201. was paid to him upon the faith of the forged letters. Mr. Alderman HUMPRERY said that there could be no doubt whatever that the letters written in the name of the barrister were in the handwriting of the pri soner, and that he had committed a scandalous fraud on the poor lady, whose health of mind and body had suffered much from his conduct. He was remanded for a week. SOUTHWARK. Catkerine Connel, a showily-dressed woman, was charged before Mr. Seeker with robbing Edmond Wal ters, a corporal in the Royal Artillery, of a purse con taining 51. 12s. Bd. It appeared that the complainant met the prisoner near London-bridge, on his way to the terminus, and was induced to accompany her down an obscure court. A policeman, however, on duty near the spot, knowing the prisoner to be a noto rious thief, and seeing that she and the corporal were closely followed by a man, her associate, he watched them. Shortly afte rwar d s the prisoner was seen running away, and being stopped by the policeman, she dropped a purse at her feet, which, being picked up, was found to belong to the complainant, out of whose trousers' pocket she had taken it. She had not time to have given the purse and its contents to the man who fol lowed her. In the course of the examination it was stated that the prisoner had been in custody a short time since for robbing a man in the City, and on that occasion she was convicted. The prisoner, who cried aloud during the examination, was committed for trial. GREENWICH. HORSE STEALING.—John Johnson, a cab driver, re siding on Blackheath hill, was brought before Mr. Trail!, charged with stealing a gelding and harness, the pro perty of William Attersley, hackney master, of No. 73, Strutton-ground, Horseferry• road, Westminster, and also a horse, the property of W. Walker, of Yolk-road, Lambeth, cab proprietor. Mr. Attersley identified his horse, which was safe in the stable on the night of Monday fortnight last, after the gates had been closed and barred. " mes I.‘tiPseYlPOlice-constable, 102 B, depoied that It is stated that a meeting of the British residents is contemplated, to express their abhorrence of the above infamous publication—at which all loyal Jerseymen will be requested to attend. VAUXHALL.—The proprietors of the " Royal Pro perty" have opened their gardens to the public at Is., with the same entertainments that have been received throughout the season with much favour ; they are crowded every evening. WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE !—Last week, a Highlander, from above Inverary, called at the cffice of a highly respectable steamboat company, and told the clerk that he owed them eighteenpence, having cheated one of their captains in that amount in his fare, about three years ago. Donald was told never to mind the matter, and to keep the money. This he would not listen to, exclaiming, " 0 gudesake, no. I hae na been able to sleep in my bed far a whole year aboot it." He then tabled the Biller, and hastily left the counting-house, saying to himself, as he retired, " Gude be thankit, I hae got it aff my conscience at last."—This is a good example to Highlanders in general, and we hope it will be generally followed.—Glasgow Auto. BEQUEST TO THE SINKING FUND.—The late Mr. John Ashton, of Newton Bank, near Ilyde, in Chester, a wealthy and extensive cotton manufacturer, of Man chester, has bequeathed to the Manchester Royal Infir mary a legacy f 5,000/., and, after leaving large be quests to his family and others, leaves the residue of his personal estate, which is considerable, to the Commis • simers of the Sinking Fund, for the reduction of the national debt. The residue is augmented by the falling in of a legacy of 20,000/., left to Mr. W. Wright, his con fidential clerk, and whom he had constituted an executor, but who died onlra short time previous to the testator, leaving a wife and family to deplore the loss of their sole protector, and the promised reward which seemed within their grasp, for a whole life devoted by this persevering man to the interests of the several firms enumerated by the testator in his will, through which this trustworthy manager had conducted the busi ness. It is to be hoped that this intended bequest, as " a reward for faithful services,* will meet with favour from the Lords of the Treasury, as the sum coming to the Governmect independent of this lapsed legacy is very considerable, and has much increased since the will was made in 1836. The testator has directed that all money out on mortgage shall also fall into the personal estate. There is a legacy of 1,0001. to the son of Mr. Wright, who is a clerk in the concern, and legacies to the other clerks and to the servants connected both with the business and his private establishment; to Frederick Slowe he leaves 1,0001., as a token of regard for his faithful services whilst in his employ; to Mr. John Barker 5.0001. He leaves in trust for his daughter 25,0001., and also an annuity until she is of age. To his brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton 500/. a year. To his brother Mr. Samuel Ashton, and his sisters Miss Jane Ashton and Mrs. Mary Tucker, 25,000/. each. There are legacies to many of his relations on the maternal side. He devises and bequeaths to his brother, Mr. Robert Ashton, all his messuages, build ings, factories, warehouses, lands, tenements, herdita ments, and all the freehold, leasehold, and copyhold estates, and all the steam engines, apparatus, and machinery absolutely. Besides the property in Chester and Manchester, for which a separate grant of probate has issued, there has been 80,0001. administered to in London by the surviving executor, Mr. Robert Ashton A RAILWAY HUNT AFTER A SUNDAY'S DINNER.— A gentleman of Liverpool, who is residing temporarily in the vicinity of Bromborough, sent a parcel on Satur day evening to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway Office, in James- street, containing a joint for Sunday's dinner, clean linen, shaving tackle, and other necessaries, with directions to be kept until ho booked for Brombo rough himself. The parcel was directed to that place. On arriving at the office, he was told, to his dismay, that the parcel was sent forward by the previous train, and would, no doubt, be found either at Birken head or Bromborougb. When he reached Birken head he made inquiries after his lost treasures in vain, they must be at Bromborough, he was told; but in case of so unfortunate a mishap as their having gone on to Chester, the clerk said he would write to the station, and his parcel should be duly returned next morning. He met, accordingly, the half-past eight train, but no mutton, clean shirt, or razor, there awaited him. He stayed till ten ; but that train he was told would not stop unless he booked to go by it to Liverpool. lie paid his ninepence accorilinoy. Still no parcel. His next despairing resolve was to go by the train he had paid for to Birkenhead, and went accordingly, but was equally unlucky. " Try the Liverpool station," urged the clerk. Our dinner-hunter found, however, that there would then be no time to return till two in the afternoon. "Go on to Chester," suggested the clerk. Our hero, however, preferred re turning to 13 ,- (mhorough again, where a man having been dispatched forth to Chester, his lost dinner, &c., reached him at two o'clock. A less persevering individual wou'd perhaps have been less successful iu stirring up the drowsy eaergies of the various railway officials con emed,—Raieway Standard. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.) CORNEXCIIA.NOE. - The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday having been on a very moderate scale, the show of samples of that article here was small. Fine dry qualities moved off freely at fully the late advance in the quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds a steady business was doing at late rates. Free Foreign Wheat, the show of which was small, was in fair request at extreme currencies. Bonded Grain was in quired for, but owing to the firmness on the part of the holders, the transactions in it were trifling. ➢salting Barley commanded a ready sale, but all other qua lities were much neglected.
