(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, MARCH 27.—Although the mercantile letters from Hamburgh do not manifest much appre hension of actual war, they have received a complexion from the military preparations in progress, which has led the Germa n merc h ants to k eep still more do cidedly aloof from business to-day than they had previously done. Advices from Trieste have produced a similar effect to those from the northern entrepot of Germany. As might be expected, letters from Leghorn and other Italian markets continue to give such un favourable reports of trade, of money matters, and of the difficulty of procuring bills upon England, as to prevent anything being done for those places. At the same time, the purchases of the Levant houses have been of very limited amount, and effected with extreme caution. As, under these circumstances, the offers for yarns for the continent have been insignifi cant in number, much uncertainty must necessarily attach to quotations: it is unquestionable, however, that sales have not been practicable except at some conces sion from the rates of this day week. And the recent accounts of twist, by the Overland Mail, have operated so injuriously upon India qualities as to occasion a fur ther decline in their value also. In spinnings, for home manufacture, there is, too, an increased dul ness, aid prices are again lower. The goods mar ket has not been quite so flat as that for yarns. The sales, however, have been altogether on a very restricted scale, and not accomplished without a giving way, in most things, from the rates of last week. The trans actions are mostly for India, China, the Levant, and some of the American markets. The home-trade houses are buying exceedingly little. In all departments the market has been an unsatisfactory one, marked by a general tendency to lower prices. But much irregula• rity exists. Some producers (chiefly of cloth) are still LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, 1849. pretty well situated as regards stocks and contracts, and they manifest considerable indpendenee and 7')Ltess, IVIDAT.I NECH 26.—The fa, tiny 11 b 5 ut.oe exti eLL.4,2iy dullest we have had this year.

HALIFAX, Minca 24.—There is no noticeable change since last week, either in worsted goods or in yarns, and our last report might be repeated this week without variation. Wool is also about the same, and though it cannot be quoted lower, is, perhaps, the turn in favour of the buyer. LEEDS, MARCH 27.—Our market continues very much in the same satisfactory way which we have had to report lately; as yet, however, the transactions for the home trade are only very limited, while the de mand for export seems to make up pretty well for the deficiency in the former. Prices remain without any material alteration. FRANCE. M. Napoleon Bonaparte presided at the popular Electoral Committee held at the Hotel de Ville yes terday. A number of operative s were p resen t, w h o loudly cheered the sentiments given expression to by the Emperor's nephew in a speech in w hi c h h e d ec l are d his strong disapprobation of the reactionary tendencies of certain political celebrities. Napoleon Bonaparte has prep a r e d an amen d men t to the budget of the Minister of the Interior, allocat ing a sum of 25,000 f. towards the erection of a monu '4 ment to the memory of the late Marshal Ney. 44 A letter from Toulouse states that the votes for 'si Municipal Councillors in that city, at the election which took place a few days since, were divided amongst the political parties in the following propor tions :—For the partisans of Henry V. and of the Count de Paris, 16,202 votes ; for the partisans of Ledru Rollin, 8,306 ; and for the friends of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, 1,608. The friends of the Pre sident of the Republic assert that this result is to be ascribed to the exertions of M. 'Delmas, the Prefect of the Department, whose Legitimist tendencies are well known. es. FRANKFORT. ' 36 The Frankfort papers state that M. Pfordten has u 3 ' a declined the Regent's offer respecting the formation of a Cabinet, and it is stated that M. Korner, who was also sent for, has taken the same line of action. The three persons whom the Oberpostamts Zeitung now mentions as likely to suit the Regent's views are the Count Lerchenfeld, Baron Konneritz, and M. Heckscher. The Austrian members have of late (since the division on M. Welcker's motion) thought proper to ask for the protection of the Speaker of the House. They complain of the contemptuous treat ment they receive at the hands of the other members. This seems somewhat pusillanimous in a victorious party. REPEAL OF THE MALT AND HOP DUTIES. 14 A county meeting, convened by Mr. R. S. Streatfeild, High Sheriff of Sussex, in pursuance of a requisition from 286 persons, being respectfully owners and men -136 piers of land, bankers, merchants, traders, and others, inhabitants of the county, was held yesterday at Lewes. The requisition emanated from a meeting held at Battle about a month since, when Mr. J. Villiers Shelley, the unsucessful free-trade candidate at the last election for I ". East Sussex, presided, and resolutions were passed urging - on the Government the necessity of repealing the malt and hop duties, and removing the fiscal and other burdens which now prey on B r iti s h a griculture, an d pray i ng for ' 72 the reduction of the national expenditure as the best ai means of carrying out those objects. The meeting assembled in the Corn Exchange, attached ' 3 4 to the Star Hotel, a room capable of holding between 2,000 and 3,000 persons; but an adjournment took place to hustings erected in front of the County-hall. The High-Sheriff presided; and among the influential persons present were, the Earl of Chichester, the Earl of March, M.P., Lord A. Gordon Lennox, Sir H. Shiffner, Mr. R. Prime, M.P., Mr. A. E. Fuller, M.P., Colonel Wynd ham, Mr. H. Wyndham, Mr. J. V. Shelley, Mr. John Ellman, Mr. Walter Wyndham Burrell, Mr. W. D. Lucas Shadwell, Mr. W. Cuningham (late free -trade candidate for Brighton), Mr. W. Townley Mitford, Mr. John Borrer, Mr. E. Wyatt, Mr. W. Rigden, Mr. J. Ide, &c. The requisition calling the meeting having been read, cries of "Adjourn" were raised by the free trade party, and were met by shouts of "No, no," and " Go on," from the Protectionists, who had taken early possession of the space surrounding the platform. These cries alternated for a considerable time, till at length an adjournment took place to the temporary hustings erected in front of the County-hall. Major CURTEIS said he was well acquainted with the Rapes of Hastings and Pevensey, and could bear wit ness to the extreme distress of the farmers, unexampled in the county, unequalled in the kingdom. The farmers could not meet their engagements—their tradesmen's 34 bills and their taxes were unpaid; wages were being re . duced, and their labourers turned off; not because the • labour was not wanted, but because the farmers had not the money to pay for it. Rents were unpaid, or, if paid, a s i they had been paid o a t o f cap it a l , an d good, useful farms had been thrown on the bands of the landlords, who were, in many cases, not in a position to occupy them. He bad also been informed by the stewards of various properties in his neighbourhood, as well as by the farmers, that unless some relief was given them ~e , immediately they believed that one-third—he had also been told one-half—of them must fail at Michaelmas next. This state of things was caused by the bad crops of last season—(Cries of " Free-trade l")—and in his neighbourhood by the heavy duty on malt limiting the consumption of hops. There was no time, then, for delay. Whatever was to be done must be done at once, or the ruin of the farmers would be completed.—(Lower the rents.) He agreed that everything ought to be con ceded, and that forthwith, or the relief would come when one half of them were done up. He and his family were owners of considerable estates. As for himself, be was also a large practical farmer. If the farmers failed, he failed; if they went, he went. It would be madness, therefore, in him to advocate anything which he con sidered to be injurious to the landed or farming inter ests. Farmers bad no right to abuse Sir R. Peel and his 10 party.—(Cries of " Ob, oh!") Who forced Sir R. Peel and his party on the country? Who gave Peel and his party a character?—(Hear.) Their present leaders had counselled them not to depend on leaders, but on them c'e selves. In what great questi on o f agr i cultural politics had their leaders ever led them on to victory. They might, perhaps, have won a battle or two, but they had always lost the campaign, and h a d b een o bli ged to submit to terms ten times worse than those originally c, offered to them. Their leaders would again deceive es them. The resolution of Mr. Disraeli, the other night, IX was merely a tub thrown to the whale to put the farmers 7 on a wrong scent. — (Hear, h ear; no, no.) Look not - (said the Major) to the hollow cries about protection and free-trade, but stick to the malt and hop duties— isfi and they are gone; but, gentle men , if you allow your. selves, now that the malt and hop duties are m ore t h an ea half repealed, to be hallooed away —to he whipped off the scent—in order to recover what you possessed fie a( im years, and were obliged to gi ve up, you deserve, and i richly deserve, the ruin that stares you in the face. The 6d farmers had to seek one of three things —they must re nd gain protection, obtain a revision of local taxation, or procure the repeal of the malt and hop duties. If it took as Is as many years to get back such aprotection as would prove a relief to the farmers as it took to g firm convictionet free-trade, the 6d farmers would be done for; and hi s t was that protection was gone for ever.—(Hear, hear, ' and cries of " No," and "We will have free-trade.") 3d. 63 He had heard the same stout sp eec h es w h en free -trade 6d in wool was first established. Their leaders told them 4 they would compel the Government to go back to pro id. tection to wool. Did they?—(Hear, hear.) Prot ec od tionist newspapers deceived the f armers w h en they said • there was a reaction in favour of protection. Why did not the Protectionists oppose the return of M. Peel, son of their dearly beloved friend Sir Robert, for Leominster? Why did Lord Lewisham say in Staffordshire that, al though if he had been in Parliament he would have :e. votes against free-trade, he Would novr give It a fair trial?—(" It has had a very ruinous trial.") He said that free-trade would not have bad a fair trial till six months after the next harvest, and not then, unless there should be no cause either in England or on the Continent to disturb the price of wheat. How many farmers would be able to stand that trial? Judging from his own neighbourhood, he should say, not many. The average price of wheat in the Channel Islands was about 465.; this would be about the price of wheat in England, and any agreements by which the tenant was to give a rent, based on higher prices, ought to be cancelled. Protec tion at all events could not be regained in a short time— in time to prevent the ruin now impending over the fer al mer. As for a revision of local taxation, after the deci sion which the House of Commons had just come to, that could not be obtained in the next year. The malt and hop duties would afford relief, and there was no reason why the commencement of that relief should not be as early as even a month. Major Curteis expressed an opinion that, beset as the question was with difficul ties, the time was not distant when funded property would be made to share the burdens of the country; but at present he looked for a relief of the distress of the far mer to a repeal of the malt and hop duties. He then moved—" That the malt-tax is unjust in principle and oppressive in operation; that it possesses all the ele ments of a bad tax; that it is levied on the middling and industrious classes, who are taxed highly in most other articles of daily consumption; that, in addition to this tax being chiefly raised from the industrious classes, the malt -tax is most injurious to the farmer the demand for whose produce is greatly limited, not only by the dimi nished consumption of beer, but by the restriction im posed on the application of malt to the feeding and fat tening of cattle." Mr- H. &Lams, the great breeder at Romney Marsh, seconded the resolution in a free-trade speech. Mr. J. ELLMAN, after a lengthened speech in favour of a return to protection, moved, by way of rider to the resolution—" But that this meeting is of opinion that if foreign barley be allowed to be imported, as at pre sent, at a merely nominal duty of Is. a quarter, the bene fit which the British farmer would otherwise receive from a repeal of the malt-tax would be principally enjoyed by the foreign grower." Mr. E. WYATT, of Chidham, seconded and Sir H. SH/PPNER supported the amendment ; as did likewise the Earl of March, Mr. Prime, and Mr. Fuller. Mr. SHELLEY opposed the amendment, and desig nated protection as a " humbug." The Earl of CHICHESTER spoke against both motion and amendment. The rider and motion were then put to a show of hands, amidst great confusion; but . _,.....k;Y unr>iirn °a: .. _ sti cii6sulved the thee Ling shertiy after four o'clock. THE REV. JAMES SHORE " We have received (says a morning contemporary) the following letter from Mr. Bouverie, accounting f'or the discrepancy between our statements and his own with reference to the case of Mr. Shore. The expla nation afforded, whilst it admits the statement which Mr. Bouverie impugned to be substantially correct, amply exonerates him fr, m the blame of wilful or pre cip:Aate misrepresentation":— Sir,—l am very unwilling to obtrude on you, or to occupy your valuable space with a personal matter; but I owe it justly to you, still more than to myself, to refer to your article of this morning, in which mention is made of my name in connexion with the proceedings against Mr. Shore in the Arches' Court. - In it you reiterate, and confirm, by reference to proper sources of authority, the statement of an article which appeared in your columns some days ago, and the accuracy of which I thought it right to question, in the House of Commons, on Wednesday last. The state ment was this—that the Bishop of Exeter had proceeded against Mr. Shore to depose him; and I owe it to you to acknowledge that I find, by reference to " Robertson's Reports" (vol. i., p. 390), that, though the articles against Mr. Shore certainly did not pray his deposition, yet the counsel against him did, in the course of the proceed ings in the case, submit that he ought to be deposed from the ministry. I find too, in the report of Sir H. J. Fust's judgment, the following passage, as correctly extracted by you : " When the case came originally before the court, the prayer at the conclusion of the articles was, that he should be admonished to abstain from performing eccle siastical duties or divine offices in the chapel in question, be canonically punished according to the exigency of the law, and be condemned i n th e costs . As I understand, the prayer now made to the court is not to the same effect; but I confess I am not prepared to go beyond that which is a canonical punishment." I am boundto admit that I think this sufficiently war rants the statement which I contradicted. I owe it to myself, while apologising to you for having given the contradiction, to satisfy you that I had ample grounds to justify my doing so. I enclose to you a copy of the printed " Case on be half of the respondent," in Shore v. Barnes, laid, on the part of the Bishop, before the Privy Council, from which (with the other documents laid befbre that Court, embracing the proceedings in the Arches' Court below), I drew my knowledge of the case in the ecclesiastical courts. A copy of Sir H. J. Fust's judgment in the Arches' Court, authenticated by Mr. Robertson, is given in this, the Bishop's case, submitted on his behalf to the Privy Council, from which I extracted the following passage, which, after referring to the articles of the charge, I read without comment in the House, as the ground for my contradiction of your statement. " When the case came originally before the court, the prayer at the conclusion of the articles was, that he should be admonished to abstain from performing eccle siastical duties or divine offices in the chapel in question, be canonically punished according to the exigency of the law, and be condemned in the costs. As I understand, the prayer now made to the court is to the same effect, and I confess I am not prepared to go beyond that which is a canonical punishment." You will observe that there was a "not" absent here, which is to be found in the other report, quoted by your self, and that " and" in this report appears as " but" in the other; consequently the fair inference from the one is exactly the reverse of that from the other. The contest inclines me to the opinion, that the judg ment as given in the " Reports" is correct, and that given in Mr. Barnes's " case for the respondent," is wrong; but I had every reason to induce me to rely on the accu racy of the latter, or I should certainly not have made the statement I did, nor have thus given you the trouble to read or insert this.—l am, your most obedient servant, March 26, 1849.

Baker, jun. Deputy Coroner, at the Pl oug h, Pl ough -yard, Shoreditch, re specting the death of an infant named Michael Donovan, aged nine months, who was alleged to have died from starvation and exposure to the cold air. The deceased was one of twins, and the mother was constantly in the practice of begging in the public streets, with the two infants in her arms. She generally left home about ten o'clock in the morning, and remained out all day with her two children until late at night. She usually sat upon the steps of doors in Finsbury-square, for se veral hours together, exciting the sympathy and commiseration of the public, who frequently gave her money, as she appeared in deep distress. In January last the deceased was attacked with a pulmonary disease, and an order was issued by the medical officer of the union, who directed that the child should be properly attended to. The surgeon visited the child daily until the 6th of March, but the mother heeded not the surgical advice, and again exposed the two children in the streets. The surgeon discontinued his visits after the 6th instant, and the deceased gradually becarie worse. The mother never applied for the assistance of a surgeon, nor stated that her child was worse. On Friday last the deceased was apparently dying, but the mother took him out with the other infant, and did not return home until the evening. The deceased became worse, and expired early on Sun day morning. Mr. Hall, surgeon, said he attributed death to chronic disease, which might have been accele rated by the frequent exposure to the cold air. After a short consultation, the jury returned a verdict of " Death from chronic disease, aggravated by exposure to the cold air." The Coroner, by the directions o f the jury, seve re ly censured theheartless mother, and cautioned her to take proper care of her remaining child. The SHERIFF declared the result to be the adoption of tho Kinendmoilt. Msjor CURT 'he bills ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmout i , March 27. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN ) John Collins was indicted for the manslaughter of John Richardson, at Tydee, near Newport, on the 9th of De cember last. He was also charged on the coroner's in quisition. The facts of the case were as follows: In the month of December last, the deceased, who was an Irishman, went into a beerhouso at Tydee, about five miles from Newport, for the purpose of selling his wares, consisting of tin articles, &c., and while there in friendly conversation with two or three persons, he was asked some question by the prisoner, who had just come in off the tram road, where he had left his team. They got into conversation about the purchase of two or three tin articles, and a quarrel en sued on the part of the prisoner, who was of violent character. He beat the deceased very much, and at length, having knocked him down, called out, " I have sent one Irishman to sleep; let's see for another now." The deceased got up after some time, recovered, and proceeded towards Pye- corner, on the road to Newport, where be again saw the prisoner, who once more beat him, on his saying he would have him taken into custody. The prisoner then went on to New port with his team, and just as he was getting his horses into stable there, the deceased again came up to him, and asked him where the tins were he had stolen from him (deceased), and that he would make him pay for the beating. Prisoner thereupon again beat him, and knocked him down, and in falling it was said deceased struck his head against a stone. He was taken up in a senseless and exhausted state, and removed to his home, where he died in a few days, leaving a widow and seve ral small children. The jury found him Guilty of an assault, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three months. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 28. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Wm. Cornforth Deniaine, who was tried for arson,was Acquitted by the jury. Mary Ford, an elderly woman, was arraigned on three indictments for uttering forged seamen's notes. In the first case she obtained her acquittal; but was tried on a second indictment, and no less than seven forged orders were put in evidence against ber, and the case proved was too strong for her ingenuity, and she was convicted. It seemed that the prisoner had become acquainted with such notes by keeping a lodging-house for sailors, who are accustomed to pay the expenses of beard and lodging, at least the latter part of their stay on shore, by notes given by the masters of vessels, which only be come payable on the men being actually shipped, but there are many persons who, as in this case, cash them at all risk, as the men obtaining them do not often fail to go aboard according to their engagement. Ills LORDSHIP told the prisoner it was a bad case, and he sentenced her to be imprisoned for two years in Lancaster Castle. He remarked she was too old to be transported. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIVSIOA-HO USE. George Grcen was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to break open the premises of Mr. Frith, wine merchant, in Bishopsgate street. The policeman had seen, about one o'clock in the morning, a man close to the alley leading to the back of Mr. Frith's premises, and soon afterwards found that the warehouse door had been partly forced in, and that part of a housebreaking instrument was stuck in the timber. Upon turning his lantern down the alley he saw two men crouchin g d own b ehind a dung heap. One of them was the prisoner; the other escaped. A crow bar and some skeleton keys were found in the dung heap, and its appearance corresponded with the marks on the warehouse door. Upon the prisoner was found some lucifer matches, a piece of candle, and other articles calculated to lead to suspicion. The prisoner was committed to Bridewell for three months. Thomas Fawcett was charged with having kicked his daughter, a girl between 18 and 19 years of age, in so dreadful a manner that considerable doubts are enter tained of her recovery. The wretched prisoner had gone home on Saturday night and began to beat his wife, who, however, es caped from the violence it was supposed he intended. The daughter was not so fortunate. The prisoner kicked her twice. She cried out " Murder," and soon after became insensible, and since that time had been repeatedly attacked by hysterical fits, and it was ap prehended on Sunday that she would have died in one of the paroxysms. A female, who had seen the poor girl, gave a painful description of her sufferings. Mr. Hall, the surgeon,called to examine the injured girl, and she complained of having been kicked in the abdomen. Her condition was rather doubtful, and she was open to danger from being subject to fits. The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. A young man, named James Anderson, was charged with stealing a box, supposed to contain a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of the Rev. John Colgh lan, of Barnet. Daniel May, 357, said, that at six o'clock the previous evening he was in Fleet -street, when he observed the prisoner in company with another walking along, and knowing them well, he followed them for upwards of an hour, until they arrived at Throgmorton-street, when Anderson left his companion, went behind a cart, and took a large box from it, and entered Copthall-court. His companion, however, observing witness, gave the " office," that is the signal, upon which the prisoner dropped the box, and ran into a court, which, however, was no thoroughfare. He then put his hands into his pockets, turned round, and coolly attempted to pass him, but witness instantly apprehended and conveyed him to the station-house. Alderman SALOMONS asked from what part of the cart the box was taken? May replied that it was taken from behind the cart. Thomas Searle, of Barnet, cabinet-maker, deposed to being employed by the Rev. Mr. Colghlan to convey the box in question, with others, to Old Broad-street, pre vious to their transmission to Jersey. He heard a cry of " stop thief," and immediately directed his boy to run after the prisoner, which he did, and afterwards returned with the box. Alderman SALOMONS asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything?—The prisoner denied all knowledge of the box, and said the officer was entirely mistaken. Alderman SALOMONS thought differently, and sen tenced him to three months' imprisonment. LAMBETH. John Lundy, alias Edward Thompson, alias Jones, and Thomas Sheppard, alias Sheffield, alias Chapman, two impudent " cadgers," who had been charged on the pre ceding evening with going about with begging petitions and imposing on the benevolent, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott. Mr. Joseph Dewhurst, an upholsterer in Crosby-row, Walworth-road, deposed that on the preceding after noon Lundy entered his shop and requested something to enable him to purchase a cork leg, to use for one he had lost by an accident. He at the same time presented a petition containing a number of names with various sums attached, and pointed his attention particularly to the name of Mr Aston Key, the eminent surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, with 11. ss. attached, which he said that gentleman had subscribed. Believing his represen tations, and that he was the deserving object he was re presented in the petition, he gave him a shilling. Samuel Darnels, a constable belonging to the Mendi city aoeipty, said ho knew both the prisoners very well since March, 1840, and from that time to the present both were gross impostors. Lundy's pretence generally was that of requiring a cork leg, or getting his tools out of pawn, to enable him to go to work, and Gardner's was that of stating that his goods wore seized on for rent, and exhibiting a warrant, purporting to be signed by a broker, and by this means both managed to get a good deal of money from the benevolent portion of the public. Their perseverance, however, led to the apprehension and conviction of one of them (Lundy) no less than nine times, and the other four. Mr. ELLIOTT added another conviction, and sentenced the prisoners to one month's hard labour each. partleulars COAL MARK E' Buddle's W.

Jane Strudwick, a young woman very smartly attired, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a variety of property belonging to her master, Mr. Ed win Harrison, eatinghouse-keeper, N 0.125, Royal Mint street, alias Rosemary-lane. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Harrison for three weeks only. On Saturday last, in consequence of some money being missed from the till, and suspicion falling upon her, she was discharged. On Tuesday af ternoon Mrs. Harrison had occasion to open a box in ber parlour, and missed a valuable cord. - necklace. She then hastened to her bedroom, where her worst fears were confirmed by missing ttwo silk dre.sses, a pair of gold earrings, and other property. She immediately obtained the aid of police-constable Rich, 152 H, with whom she ' proceeded to the house of a person named Davis, who keeps a coffee-shop in Cable -street, Wellclose-square, where she had been staying since Saturday night, and found the prisoner wearing one of her gowns, her ears adorned with her rings, and her neck with the coral necklace, which had been stolen from the work-box. Mrs. Harrison exclaimed, " You irave got my property on you," and compelled the prisoi ter to deliver up the gown, earrings, and necklace. It further appeared that the prisoner had given a neck cha in belonging to her mistress to the landlady of the coffee-shop, and repre sented to her that she was about to purchase Mr. Har risons's eating-house business for 2001. Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisone r for trial. Tae TEMPERATURE.—Yesterday morning, at an early how, the temperature was down uslow as 31 degrees Fahrenheit; on Sunday morning it ivus even still lower; falling to 28 degrees. Since Monday', the barometer has ben falling rapidly—yesterday morning it stood a t 29.40; at four in the afternoon, it was 29.30 ; and by seven P.M. it had fallen still furth er ; being then 29.26. This would seem to indicate a sad den change of weather —probably a storm.—Manchester I ;;uardian of yesterday. he Goat STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS.

About teelve o'clock today, a boy, named Bradshaw, who is in the employ of Mr. Yoniton, Of Leveson-street, was passing the house of Captain Hinrichson, who is in the employ of Messrs. James Aikin and Son, and master of the ship Duncan, at pre sent at Calcutta. On passing Captain Hindrichson's re sidence he heard a .loud and deep moaning, which was often repeated, and feeling sure that something was wrong in the house, he immediately ran to the police officer on duty in a str, ,t, gave the alarm. i'w; policeni,u at one hastened to the spot, but on their arrival tt.ere the alarm had become so general, in consequence of the moaning inside the house increas ing, that they - found the house had hen already entered. The persons who first entered the house (tor on knock ing at the door, no admission could he obtained) did so by breaking a window in the front parlour of the house, having first looked through the window, and seen three bodies lying on the flour, weltering in blood, their moans at the time being of the most pitiable description. On the arrival of the police, they were of course let into the house by the four men who had first entered. A few minutes afterwards Mr. Martin and Mr. Slater, surgeons, were in attendance, and seeing that life was not extinct in the three bodies, they gave orders for them to be at once conveyed to the Southern Hospital, which was accordingly done. The other parts of the house were then searched, and in the back cellar was found the body of a child, lying on the fluor in a pool of blood, with its throat cut, and being quite dead. The three bodies found in the front parlour were two women and a child, and they were all lying surrounded by pools of blood, but the murderer had not used the same weapons as he had done to the other child. They were all dreadfully beaten about the head and body. On the forehead of one of the females (recognised as Mrs. Hinrichson) there had been a dreadful blow inflicted, the forehead being laid open to the depth of two or three inches, and there were also several deep wounds in other parts of her head and fac e . T he other grown up female (the servant residing with Captain and Mrs. Hinrichson) had also received similar wounds on the head and face, as also severe blows about her eyes, both of which were black and swollen up. The body of the child (Mrs. Hinrichson's eldest child, a girl about seven or eight years o'd) also presented a most dreadful ap pearance. The poor litle creature's head seemed to have been beaten to a jelly by the inhuman ruffian, and the wonder is that life was not extinct. From the different positions of the bodies, it would appear that the attempt was first made on the lives of the servant and the children, and that at that time the unfortunate Mrs. Hinrichson was out at the market, and met her fate immedia!ely on her return home. The following explanation renders this fact extremely pro bable :—The parlour fender and the appearance of the fireplace generally indicate that the servant was attacked while in the act of cleaning the fire grate, and that the eldest child was near her at the time, for they were both discovered lying close to each other in the middle of the room, whilst the body of Mrs. Hinrichson was discovered close to the parlour door, her bonnet being close beside her head, and a quantity of potatoes with an apron near to them. The poker was also lying by her side. A man who lodged in the house has been apprehended on suspicion; in his bedroom a towel, soiled with blood, has been found, and upon his shoes and trousers marks of blood are observed. A, drawer in Mrs. ilinrichson's bedroom had been forced, and the whole of the house had been ransacked.
