MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day tha arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. There was no activity in the trade either for red or white qualities ; but factors were firm, and the recent advance in the quotations was sup ported. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. Most descriptions were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm. The business done was at Monday's improve ment in the currency. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full quotations. Barley was in short supply, and the trade ruled firm, at fully late rates. The malt trade was firm, at full quotations. Oats, with which the market was well supplied, were in steady request, at quite preVious rates. Beans and peas moved off steadily, at very full prices. For flour there was a fair demand r at Monday's currency ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English and Scotch B7O 10 1030 290 740 Irish Foreign 14,020 3360 32,670 10 sks. brls.

BOROUGH HOP. The plantation accounts are very favourable, and it is anticipated that picking will be commenced about three weeks earlier than usual. The demand for hops, there fore, rules quiet, but without leading to any quotable change in prices from Monday. The market continues to be scantily supplied with produce. COLONIAL. TEA-Them has been a very limited amount of business transacted, and prices have not varied to any important extent. • Suter—The market has remained very quiet, and West India descriptions in some instances have slightly declined. In the refined market, also, business has continued very dull, at barely former rates. COFFEE—Superior descriptions of both plantation and native Ceylon have been in moderate request at full rates, but inferior qualities have been neglected, and prices are a shade flatter. RICE—The demand has continued steady, and prices have remained without change. TALLOW—There has continued to be a fair business transacted for both present and forward delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 425. 6d., and last 3 months, 435. 6d. per cwt. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been less inquiry manifested by the commercial community to obtain discount accom modation, owing partly to the strong position of the Rink of England, as shown in the return given below. Bankers and brokers, on the other hand, are more disposed to take short-dated bankers' acceptances at a fraction below the official mini mum. The weekly return from the Bank of England presents more satisfactory features than were anti cipated, as will be seen from the following par ticulars : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion -£22,022,130 624,200 14,223,390 234,258 3,517,879 Increase 9,065 Public Deposits 5,264,739 Increase ••• ••• ••• 50,362 Other Deposits 14,688,181 Increase 6,454 Seven Day and Other Bills ... 553,527 Decrease 8,900 Government Securities ... ... 10,384,209 No alteration. Other Securities ... 21,341,857 Decrease ... 327,961 Notes Unemployed ... 5,972,930 Increase ••• ... 365,455 Decrease Best The reduction of £272,000 in the bullion of the Bank of France, and of £752,000 in the current accounts, are the only unfavourable changes shown in the return for this week. The notes in circula tion have been decreased £40,000, the advances on stock £20,000, and the bills discounted £376,000. An addition of £130,000 has been made to the Treasury balance. • Mr. A. Cooper, of the firm of Cooper Brothers and Co., has been appointed by the Master of the Rolls official liquidator of the Chesterfield and Mid land Silketone Colliery Company (Limited). During the last few days there has been very little animation exhibited in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Sugars in some instances have been a shade cheaper, while only superior de scriptions of coffee have maintained previous rates. Rice, tea, and cocoa have remained without any change in values ; while there has been a fair busi ness recorded in tallow, and prices generally have an upward tendency. A special general meeting of the shareholders of neuter's Telegram Company will take place to-day, for the purpose of confirming the following resolu tion, passed at the meeting of the 24th July, viz. : " That clause 77 in the articles of association be altered by striking out the following words, com mencing on the 4th line of such clause, ' and the security of shares in the company.'" It is further notified that, with the view of enabling the direc tors to meet the liability of the company, on ac count of the purchase-money, without calling up further capital, the following resolution will at the same time be submitted to the shareholders : " That the directors be at liberty to raise any sum of money not exceeding £35,000 on the security of the bonds or debentures of the company, with such Powers or securities or any of them as aro authorised by article 74 of the deed of association of the com pany." The Belfast and Bangor Railway and Land Com pany require a capital of £1,000,000, the first issue to be £600,000, in shares of £2O each. The asso ciation is formed to carry through a scheme which embraces the possession of a line of railway start ing from the large manufacturing town of Belfast to Bangor, via Holywood, having not only a large and increasing suburban, but sea-side traffic, both for permanent residences and excursions, also the advantage of land with sea frontage for building purposes. A portion of the railway, 41 miles (from Belfast to Holywood) has been opened since 1848, and since the 18th of May last, by the open ing of an additional 71 miles to Bangor, nearly 70 per cont. on previous traffic has been gained, and without a very large increase of rolling-stock the numbers seeking conveyance cannot be carried. The line, which is at present single, will therefore at once be doubled, and ample rolling stock provided. An agreement has been entered into by which this company will acquire not only the 12 miles of rail way from Belfast, via Holywood, to Bangor, but also become the owners of very valuable building land on the sea shore at Bangor, with a further quantity at Holywood, and the power of taking further eligible sites. The shareholders in the rail way company taking their shares at par in this com pany; and the vendors of the land above-mentioned show their confidence in the undertaking by accept ing the whole of the purchase-money in shares. Eminent contractors have gone over the works, and are prepared to enter into a contract to double the line, supply all the necessary additional rolling-stock, and to construct the esplanade, roads, hotel, baths, and other public buildings, and pay to the share holders six per cent. on the paid-up capital for three years from the let September, 1865. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67 f. 87c. heavy and inanimate. There appears, for the moment, to be greater de- P r ession in the E ng li s h St oc k M ar k et t h an i n any other department.

In the American Market very little business is in progress, and values are generally lower. United States 5-20 Bonds are 67+ a ; Erie shares, 55+ 561 ; and Illinois, 76 I. The operations in the Railway Share Market has been on a very moderate scale, and prices, in most instances, arc a shade flatter. Lancashire and York shire, and Brighton, have each declined 55., Metro politan 10s., North Western and North Eastern (Berwick) each 155., and South Eastern £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines show no mate rial alteration in prices. The Bank and Miscellaneous shares have also been a very limited inquiry.

Russell's account of the condition of the Great Eastern, with her full freight and supply of coals on board, is not flattering. Tho entire load is full twenty fire thousand tons, and with that she is alarmingly deep in the water, besides presenting the appearance of sagging amidships. We do not know that these. symptoms are mitigated by the repeated delays in starting. By'the Scotia yesterday, whose news conies down to the 16th inst., we have no assurance that up to that date the Great Eastern had even loft the Nora. Before she could make Valentia Bay, and get the cable spliced, wo fear the end of the month will be found rapidly approaching. And in spite of the opinion of those who do the special touting for the enterprise, wo incline to the opinion that August is not the best month for a North Atlantic voyage, in which there shall by a general absence of anything approaching to a storm. With her present enormous load the Groat Eastern would probably be found as hard to manage as she has been on other occasions. These facts may as well be borne in mind be those who are sanguine of the immediate success Of the work.—/Veto York Times, July 27. TIIE STEAM RAM AGINCOURT.—L IVERPOOL, Thursday.—The ironclad ram Agincourt, built for her Majesty's service by Messrs. Laird, of Birkenhead, loft her moorings in one of the adjacent locks of the Great Float to-day, and proceeded under steam, but convoyed by the tugs Hercules and Storm King, to a prepared anchorage in the Sloyne. Tho Agincourt, we believe, leaves the Mersey before her time, and in consequence of soma unex pected notice from the Lords of the Admiralty. Her masts have not boon " stepped," and at present lie on the deck secured, although it was intended when the Aginoourt did leave the Mersey that she would do so with every thing in its place on board. However, on Saturday next, unless the Admiralty again change their mind, the Agin court will leave the Mersey for Portsmouth, a mere hull with engines on board. Captain Paynter, R.N., is at pre sent in charge of the ship. TIIE ROAD MURDER.—The Bath Chronicle of yesterday says We aro informed, upon what wo believe to be good authority, that Constance Kent, while in prison, wrote her own history, and addressed it to one of the lead ing magistrates of the county of Wilts. The MS. is said to have contained the particulars of her previous life, her relations with her stepmother, &c., and also an explanation of the mode in which the committed the murder, namely, with an old razor out of one of her father's cases, which she ground to a point, and made stiff by hammering the rivet, having, before taking the child out of bed, gone end opened the doors and windows."

MARLBOROUGII-S TREET. THE GERMAN BAND NUISANCE.—Jacob Christmann and Peter Moore, two German musicians, were charged before Air. Knox with playing upon wind instruments, to the annoyance of Mr. Stephen Jefferies, after being cautioned not to do so. The complainant, a lodginghouse-keeper, at Nos. 29 and 30, Bury-street, St. James's, said—Last night, about ten o'clock, the defendants and some others made a great noise in front of my house, to the annoyance of my lodgers generally, but more particularly to that of one gentleman, who has been ill for the last 16 months. Mr. Knox—They wore playing instruments ? Mr. Jefferies—Yes, sir, but you could not call it music. I sent my boy out to tell them to move away, and after a little time, as they did not do so, I gave the defendants in charge. The gentleman I alluded to has given me notice that ho intends to leave my house unless the nuisance is abated, and but for his illness he would have been pre sent to-day. Garrott Foley, page boy to Mr. Jeffcrios—l was desired by my master to tell tho defendants to go away, and I did so, pointing to the house, and motioning them away with my hand. They took no notice, but wont on playing. Police-constable 175 C—l was on duty in Bury-street last night at ten o'clock, and the complainant gave the defendants in charge. They were playing. In answer to the charge, the defendants said they did not understand what the boy said. Mr. Jefferies—The defendants hate been a nuisance for two years. Mr. Knox told the defendants that if they did not under stand what the boy said to them, they well understood what he meant when he pointed to the house and motioned them away with his hand. It was a monstrous thing, and ho fined them 20s. or 14 days each. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING RACES.-YESTERDAY. There is always about the usual quality of sport on the King's Meadow. Good fields and moderate performers are its general characteristics, and of course the Berkshire stables carry off a fair share of the prizes. Reading hardly keeps pace with the times in the internal economy of its arrangements. A shabby wooden stand, more becoming Barnet fair than the capital of Berks, and the weighing de partment, &c., under canvas, place it much behind some of its younger rivals who cannot boast the patronage bestowed on Reading. The Reading Stakes saw the easy defeat of Gladiator by Qui Vive, whose fine turn of speed is just suited to a half mile spin. The Berkshire Stakes proved the good thing for Pearl Diver the handicap looked on paper, Fantail succumbing under the weight, and on the " feather," Defy, being near him. The Nursery Plate brought out a large field, and gave us a good race between the first two favourites, resulting in favour of Retrousse by a head. The Easthampstead Park Stakes (Handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 50 added. Five furlongs, straight.

Crisis got off in front, attended by Czarina, and Jane Shore, My Cob lying wellup on the off side, aad Blackbird and Mysterious Lady in the rear. At the distance, Crisis took a more decided lead, Jane Shore at the same time passing Czarina, but failing to catch Crisis, who won easily by two lengths ; Czarina a bad third. My Cob was fourth, and Viola fifth. The last two were Mysterious Lady and Doeford. The winner was bought in for 400 guineas. The Steward's Plate (Handicap) of 100 soya in specie, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Straight seven furlongs. Mr. G:Angell's Lady Valentino, 3 yrs, Est 101 b (ear. 7st 61b) Mr. E.

Peignoir made play, followed by Lady Valentine, Pearl Diver, and Godmersham, with Overture heading the rear division. Lady Valentine on entering the straight took a clear load, but Perry easing her soon after enabled Pearl Diver to get up, with Overture in close attendance ; but Lady Valentine again taking the lead opposite the stand won cleverly by a neck, Overture finished a length behind the second, Godmersham was a bad fourth, Peignoir fifth, and Endsleigh sixth ; Latitude was left at the post.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Qui Vive, 9to 4 agst Gladiator, 6to 1 agst Tina, 7 to 1 agst Chronometer, and 10 to 1 agst The Squire. The Squire jumped off with the lead, follovred by Gladia tor, Qui Vivo, and Chronometer, the rear being brought up by Countess Amy, Maid of Lorn, and Tambourine. Before reaching the distance the favourite drew up, teaded The Squire, and, with Gladiator in close attendance, the three raced home, Qui Vive winning easily by two lengths ; a head separated Gladiator and Tho Squire, Chronometer was fourth, Novice fifth, and Tina sixth. Tho last two were Maid of Lorn and Countess Amy. The King's Meadow Stakes (handicap) of 5 SOTS each, with 30 added. One milo. Mr. Ambery's Nemo, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b (J.

Betting-6 to 5 agst Nemo, 4to 1 agst Mongrel, and 100 to 8 bar two. After a short delay at the post, caused by the restiveness of Nemo, the flag dropped to a good start. The favourite made play with a clear lead, followed by Hefty and Confe deralist, the rest following in a cluster, headed by Mongrel. Before reaching the straight Mongrel took his place next the favourite, nothing else beinginthe race 200 yards from home, a good finish between the two resulting in Nemo's favour by a neck; a bad third. Salpinctes was fourth, and Olivia fifth. The Ladies' Plate, of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs. each. Straight five furlongs. Mr. Godding's Vicksburg, 3 yrs (£5O), 7st 51b (Perry) 1 Mr. M.

CHARGE OP EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SHOPMAN.—Georgo Evans, a young man ha the service of Mr. Webb, cheese monger, Brompton-row, was charged with embezzlement. Mr. Young, a solicitor, stated the case for the prosecu tion. Prisoner had charge of a round of customers who were supplied from his master's shop, and it.was his duty to collect money for goods supplied, enter the accounts in a book kept for that purpose, and pay the money imme diately he returned home. Amongst the customers was a lady named Webster, in South-street, who, on the 2d of August, paid prisoner £1 Gs. 5d., for which he neglected to account, nor did he make any entry of it in his book. A bill was sent to Mrs. Webster in a few days afterwards for the same amount, when she called at the shop, and producing the receipt, proved that she had paid the amount, and prisoner was last night given into custody, it being suspected that ho had embezzled other amounts. His master's brother proved that prisoner was employed as described, and produced the books to show that he had never accounted for Mrs. Webster's money. Prisoner said that he had not been guilty of dishonesty. In order to give change to customers he had put some money of his own in his pocket, whick being mixed with his master's, had caused a confusion in the accounts. He could not tell from whom he received money, and told the cashier of Mr. Webb that he had got money over, and did not know from whom. He had since found where he had received two of the accounts from the 2d of August, and in reference to his book made up before he was charged last night, it would be found that ho had greater payments duly entered, and accounted for. Mr. Webb's brother said he had heard the prisoner had said to the cashier that he had nigney over. It was his duty to account for the money directly he received it. He had been withholding money in this sort of way until the receipts by him were ascertained by the firm, through the complaint of customers that they had had fresh bills sent for mosey they had already paid, and witness had cau tioned the prisoner about the practice. Mr. Solfe said that the prisoner's conduct might be very improper, but yet might not be dishonest, and the entries made yesterday of previous accounts were certainly much in his favour. He should take his own recognisance for his reappearance on Friday. THAMES. A LADY DILUNKARD.—Louisa, Levitt, a smartly-dressed woman, about 30 years of age, and described as a married lady of No. 1, North-street, Limehouse, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting Anna Stone, of N 0.7, Martha-street, St. George in-the-East, and Amelia Cope, of No. 13, Beaumont-terrace, Stepney. Yesterday evening the prisoner was in the Mile-end road very tipsy, and as she staggered along in a very un lady-like manner she Fished against several persons, and attempted to strike several. Sho slapped a young woman on the face, and the person assailted was about to return the blow, when a respectable girl named Stone, about twelve years of age, interposed, on which the prisoner abused her for her kind interference, seized her hat which she' tore from her head, and then pulled her back hair down. The aunt of the girl who was with her got between hbr niece and the prisoner, and asked her what she meant by such conduct, on which the prisoner scratched Mrs. Cope's face, and left the marks of her nails there. A police constable was at hand, and the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said she felt herself much de graded and humiliated at the position she was in. Her husband was the owner and master of a Colchester vessel. He made an appointment to meet her at the Groat Eastern railway station in Bishopsgate-street last night. Business prevented him coming to London. She was much dis appointed at the absence of her husband, and in her vexa tion drank two glasses of brandy—only two, she could assure the magistrate, and it made her giddy, not drunk. This was the first time she had ever been in such a posi tion, and she hoped the magistrate would release her as soon as possible. Mr. Paget would not release the prisoner until he punished her and said a few words to her. If he allowed the prisoner to go because she was in a good position, what what would be said of the poor and wretched crea tures charged with being drunk and committing assaults. The conduct of the.prisoner, who was a woman in a good position, was highly disgraceful, and he should fine her £5 for assaulting Mrs. Cope and niece, and if the prisoner's husband was a wise man he would not pay the fine, but allow his wife to remain in prison one month. THE CAPTAIN ON A LEE Swum—Elizabeth Daly, aged 38, a dissipated and most infamous woman, who has been repeatedly in custody, and is the worst thief in the district, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing £6, two pocket-books, and other property, from the person of Capt. John Thornton, the master of the brig Elizabeth Leith. The prosecutor said he was a resident of Gravesond, and came from that town last night by the last train. He mot a young lady by the Tower-stairs, and she put him into a cab and escorted him to a house. He was quite sober, cool, and collected.. He fell into a doze as he sat on a chair, and all at once felt a woman's fingers in his waistcoat pocket. He jumped up, shook himself, rubbed his eyes, and saw the prisoner running away. His pocket-books, too, were gone ; his money, £6 in gold and about 20s. in silver, was missing ;". and his coat was pulled off while he was dozing. He was sure the prisoner was in the room when he awoke. Frederick Greenfield, police-constable, No. 495 K, said the prisoner was the landlady of the house, No. 87, Devon shire-street, St. George-in -the-East, where the captain was robbed. It was the worst house for robberies in the district. He found the prosecutor's empty purse on a bed and his pocket-books under the same bed and between two mattresses. A captain of a ship was robbed of £l2O in the same house a few nights ago. The prosecutor was not drunk, but stupid. Captain Thornton. Yes, I was off my hooks last night. (Laughter.) Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day. By ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEND, Friday Morning.

Rumoured Collision on the Metropolitan Railway—(This Day.) This afternoon great excitement was caused throughout the metropolis when it became known that the traffic of the above line had been stopped for several hours. On our reporter repairing to King's-cross he found that no collision had taken place. One of the officers of the line informed him that the cause of the stoppage of the traffic was in consequence of an empty train of the Great North ern Railway (on its way to Farringdon-street to load) shunting from the one line to the other, and run right across theline of the Metropolitan Railway, thus effectually blocking up the traffic. When the cause of the stoppage became known a large body of workmen were immediately set to work to clear the line. After two hours of assiduous labour they succeeded in their endeavours, and at the time of going to press the trains are running the same as usual. As there were, of course, no passengers in the empty train, not the slightest ac cident took place. The cause of the one train run ning across the line of the other is ascribed to the gauges of the two lines not being identically the same. THE APPALLING MURDER IN RED LION-STREET, HOLBORN. CORONER'S INQUEST-THIS DAY. The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of William Henry, Thomas, and Alexander White, who were found murdered at the Temperance Coffee-house, Red Lion-street, was hold this afternoon at the Queen's Arms, Red Lion-passage. The jury having been sworn, The Coroner said that it would beltheir duty to-day to make a rigid scrutiny into this very horrible tragedy ; but a man who had murdered another woman and child was now in custody in another place, and it would be necessary to have him present before they could conclude their inquiry. The jury having viewed the bodies, William Stallwood White said—l reside at 4, Feather stone-buildings, Holborn, and am a schoolmaster. I am the repute& father of the three deceased children. lam not certain of the names of the boys, but I think the name of the eldest boy is William Henry or Henry William; Thomas William, the second, was ten years of age, and Alexander was eight. I last saw them alive and well on Monday evening, at my own house in Featherstone-buildings. They were living with me up to that time. The two younger children were in their ordinary state of health, but the eldest had been suffer ing from diarrhoea for three weeks. They were taken away from me on Monday night by my son, Josiah White, to deliver them into the hands of Southey. I don't know where he was. I did not see them again until Wednes day morning, when an inspector of police called to make inquiries about my children. I answered their questions, and I afterwards accompanied them to the Temperance Coffee-house in Red Lion-street. I went up stairs, and there I saw two in one bed in the upper room. They wore quite dead. From there I went to fetch my son with the police, and o n my re turn I was told of the other death. But I knew all three were dead when I saw the two bodies. o My son resides at 22, Bedford-terrace, Old Ford-road. n my return from them I went to Hunter-street, police station. As I went home, I went, by theb idesire of Inspector Pearce, and saw the third cb oc y. recognised all three children. I was very surprised r m o u omwithnso l at the smell that had taken place in the d short a time. I also noticed the li;i i d es an spotted I did notar"otaiere ance of the arms and other extremities. looked as if the n had anything about their dr died by violent means. e U. Bls he bodi y es seen by the jury y are the samo that I speak of. Josiah White —I reside at 22, Bedford-terrace, Old road and and am a clerk. I saw the deceased children on Monday evening when I was at my father's house in Fea thorstone-buildings. The children were there when I went. My father delivered the three children to me to be taken to Southey. I took them to the end of the build ings, but I had engaged to meet him at the corner of Bed ford-row at nine in the evening. I was there to time, but I had to wait for him for 20 minutes. H o came running up in a great hurry, and he was very sorry for being late, but that he had missed the train from Clapham junction. Ho said the missing the train had throWn his arrangements out. I said "Are you going to take the children to-night, or not ; I've spoke to my father about them, 40 he'll think you're humbugging him" ? I asked if he could not make some temporary arrangement for the children. Ho their wont over to the public-house, and shortly after returned ape: ,said they had not got a bed. After having some ale, we went to the Star coffee-house, and whilst he went in I waited outside. On his return he said it was all right. They would accommodate him with a bed for the children. I then went home, got the children, and on my banding thOn to him he shook hands with each. My mother was under' the impression that they were going direct to their mother. I told him not to let my father know that.the children were so near to him. I understood the children were going with their mother to Australia. I saw Southey in the end of Gray's-inn-passage, and then I returned to my father. I was not intimate with Southey. I had not seen him more than twice before the Monday I speak of. Coroner—You know nothing about the deaths of the children. Witness—No. A Juror—We have not had the beginning of the affair. Witness—Very well, I will beg in at the beginning. On Saturday morning he called at my office in the City, say ing mother wanted to have the children back again as they were going abroad. Ho asked to see If Mr. White was willing to give them U. I was to take them to the Opera`Hotel in Bow-street. A Juror—That was the Saturday before the Monday. Witness—Yes. I told him that was too far. I told him if he would meet me at the corner of Bedford-row on Sunday evening I would see my father, and talk to him about it, and then I would let him know. I afterwards told him I would take the matter upon my own shoulders, and that he should have the children. At 9 o'clock I went Continuation of the Inquest. - Henry Clifford said --I keep the Star coffeehouse, Red Lion-street. I saw the children on Tuesday morning. I did not see them on the Monday night, but I first saw them in the coffee-room on Tuesday morning. They were play ing about. I did not speak much to them. On Wednesday morning last witness came and told me one of the children was dead. I went to the room No. 6, and there I found two of the children dead, and on going to the other room, No. 8, I found the other little boy dead. They had the usual bedclothes on them. Tho countenances struck mo as being very livid. I immediately sent for a surgeon and a policeman. I saw Southey on Tuesday night. The children had gone to bed. He asked• me for the keyof the room in which the children were, as he wanted to see whether they were all right. He remained upstairs about three- quarters of an hour. One of my servants, Elizabeth Mailman, was upstairs at the same timo as Southey. When he came down stairs he said the children were all right and asleep. Ho returned me the koy of No 6 room, and wished me good night. There was no lock on the door of No. 8, so he could not fasten that door. I should not be able to identify Southey if I were to see him. Elizabeth Clifford said, I am daughter of the last:witness. I assist at the coffee-house. Southey first came there on Saturday night, and asked if he could have a bed for three little boys, if ho should want it. I told him if he wanted it he must let them know early. He came on Monday night and took No. 8 room at about a quarter to nine. He came in about ten o'clock, with the three children, and they all slept in that room that night. On Tuesday Southey asked me if the children could remain up stairs. I told him they could not, but that they could' have the coffee room. They had breakfast, dinner, and tea on Tuesday. I was not in the way when Southey put the children to bed. On that day he asked me if he could have another room, and I told him he could. I saw him after he had been up stairs on Tuesday night. Police Constable 100 E said—l was called by the waiter to the Star Coffeehouse, but before I went up stairs I sent off for the nearest doctor. He arrived very shortly after, and we went up together. We went into No. 6 room, and found the children in bed dead. They were covered over, and the clothes were undisturbed. A penny piece was lying on the breast of the youngest. I then went to room No. 8, and there found the eldest child. He was lying on his back, with his face a little turned. There was a bottle containing something like a chalk mixture. In the room we also found an empty phial and a tumbler. Dr. Roberts has them now in his possession. I don't know anything further about the matter, except what I heard talked about in the coffeehouse. Elizabeth Maidman—l am chambermaid at the Star coffeehouse. I saw them twice on Monday. They all slept together that night. I did not seo much that day At a few minutes before 10 on Tuesday night I went up stairs to see to the beds, when Mrs. Clifford told me tho children were gone to bed. I saw the door of No. 8 room open, that was the room the children slept in the night beforo. went in and found only one child in the bed. I thought he was asleep. There was no other person in the room. As I was coming out of the room I met the man Southey on the landing. I said to him, " How bad that poor child looks." Southey replied, "Yes, he does." He was going towards the room. I had a candle in my hand, but ho had none. He put the door too, and locked it. Coroner—Are you sure he came out of No. 6 ? Witness—l was going there. Coroner—What for? Witness— To see whether it was all right. Southey said to me, " You may be sure it's all right there, miss." I went upstairs. The next morning I went with Maria Beale to see the children. Coroner—Could you swear to that man if you saw him again ? Witness—Yes. Coroner—You are sure you would know him again ? Witnsss—Yea, I am sure I could. Coroner You did not think he was dead when you saw him on Tuesday night. Witness—No. Dr. Anthony Roberts, of 3. Lamb's Conduit-street, said was sent for, and I arrived at the Star Coffeehouse at a quarter to 9. In a room,:No. 6, on the third floor front, I saw two boys lying on their backs. On the larger child there was no external marks of violence. They wero quite dead, and I should think they had been so about S hours, when I saw them. I was shown into a back room, where I saw a boy about eleven years of ago, he was lying in bed and quite dead. I saw in the room a bottle containing a mixture with a white sediment. I was shown some black looking fluid in ono of the utensils. I w as shown a phial in which there was a few drops of a clear fluid, with a pungent smell. The tumbler smelt the same. I have made a post mortem examination ; I should say about 12 or 14 hours after death. I have preserved the stomachs of all three of the children, and other porti ons of the intestines. These have been submitted to Dr. Harley. The Coroner said he had received a letter from Dr. Harley, who informed him that although the- examination was proceeding as rapidly as possible he woald not be able to produce his report before Monday afternoon at the ear liest. As Dr. Harley was prepared to state the nature of the poison at the present moment, and as there would be som e judicial inquiry as soon as possible, and as that could not be done earlier than Monday, he proposed they should adjourn until Tuesday or Wednesday.' The Coroner—Shall we have the accused present then ? Superintendent Searle—That isvery uncertain. He is in custody on a charge of murder at Ramsgate, and it is not known yet whether the authorities there will give him up. Coroner—Have you any doubt about itbeing the man Southey ? Superintendendent Searle—None whatever. There can be no doubt that Forward is the man Southey. The per son he has murdered is his wife. Mrs. White, I believe, has gone to Australia. The inquiry was then adjourned until Tuesday morning. LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening. 'AR-OFFICE, Alla. 9.

Miss Clif ford told me to go and see how the littlo boy was in No. 8 room, as he was unwell. I went to the door but found it locked. I then turned to No. 6 room, the door of which was open, and said to the children, " Ain't you going to get up," and when I put my hands on their arms and found the children wore dead I went and told Mrs. Clifford im mediately. A Juror—When was the last time you saw the children out of doors ? Witness—On Tuesday morning. They were out about half an hour at seven in the morning.
