Alfred Walter Money, a footman i n th e service of Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, 38, Gloucester-place, Gloucester square, stated that about five or six weeks back he re membered receiving a letter from his mistress for Miss Coote, which he took to Miss New, of 16, Oxford terrace, to have the address put upon it, which was H am House, iEast Ham," and he dropped it into the nearest office on his way home. Mr. Samuel Clutton, a builder, 14, Oxford-mews, Cambridge-square, proved that he was acquainted with Miss New, and was :at her house when the letter in question was brought to her, upon which he wrote the address. Mr. Walter B. Scultherpe, a president of the London distri c t, s a id that the letter produced would, in the usual Course of business, be forwarded to the Stratford Post °Mee, where the prisoner was employed as an auxiliary in the month of December last. Miss Alice Coote said that she resided at Manor House, East Ham, which is about two miles from Strat ford, and she believed that the letter produced, which never came to hand, had been written to her in Decem ber last, by Mrs. Shuttleworth. Mathew Peake, the officer, proved that on the 6th of December he went to Stratford, where he saw the pri soner, and on asking him where he lived, he refused to tell, upon which he searched him, and found a door key which opened a room at No. 20, Lambeth-street, White chapel, occupied by him, where he discovered between t h e b e d sacking some pieces of paper and the letter pro duced, tied in a parcel, the name and address being cut out of the envelop, on which was some writing in pencil marks as follows:—" Fire, five of us to do the work of one charge taker at 12s. per week, witness my hand." Mr. Robert Smith, the superintending president of the London district, said that the prisoner was earning 12s. per week, his duties as an auxiliary not being more than half of every day. On the 18th September, and on several occasions since:that period, witness receivedlanony. mous communications by post,containinglanguage resp ects ing Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, Mr.Sculthorpe and others. They were written with a pencil to the following effect:— " Fire all the mis-sorted letters I have I burn, except when they contain money. I have been in office some years, and have been honest, but will be no more upon 12s. a-week. Sometimes I make 225., sometimes 325. a-week; it makes up for short wages. Fire tells no tales. You may lay your traps, and do what you like, you never can find me out. I take them home before I break the seals. I send this to let you know auxiliaries, wants more more money. You may know this paper, but you don't know the writing. 12s. a-week—is that sufficient wages for Essex carriers ? We are not all Essex cal% es, Bobby Smith." Upon comparing the Writing with that upon the papers found by the officer ttOy are exactly alike, and they were stamped with a bulton on the seal, also found. Monists Miller, the prisoner's brother, who is driver oftitfie, mail car t b e t ween Harrow and London, ha v i ng (181'41641y examin e d a ll the pencil writings produc e d, identified them as having been written by the prisoner. Thy Writing was also identified by Harris, a letter-car rier frvw Stratford, as being that of the prisoner. Mr. YARDLEY—Come to the facts of the murder. Witness—l will, and I'll speak only the truth. I'm here with the grey hairs on my head, and I don't know whe ther I may fall dead before I leave the place. There was no man there before me to see it. I saw Jerry Regan strike Jack Sullivan on the head, but I don't know if he bad a stone in his hand, for in Ireland when a man hasn't a stick ho is very apt to take up a stone.— (Laughter.) He beat him on the back part of the head until his skull was broke; but the doctor said it wasn't that that killed him, though it would be enough to do so, but a blow that he got over the temple. He lived three weeks after he got the beating, and when he died a war rant was taken out against Jerry Regan, but he made a run of it, and I never saw him again until I came to this country. Mr. YARDLEY—When did you first see him here? Witness—He was the very first man I saw when I came here. Mr. YARDLEY—Why did not you give him into cus tody then? Witeess—" Faith, I didn't, nor would Ido it now if I could help it. 'Twas no business of mine." Mr. YARDLEY—Do you give your evidence now wil lingly? Witness—Yes, I give it willingly because I can't help it. I must do it. Mr. YARDLEY —What was the cause of the quarrel be tween them? Loghlan—Why, they belong to two par ties, and a young girl was taken away from her relations On the night the murder was committed. Inspector Lewis, of the Thames police, said he under stood an inquest had been held on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder returned. Mr. YARDLEY told the prisoner that he could say what he pleased, but it would be written down. Prisoner—As I stand in the presence of God, I had no more hand in hitting him than you had, gentlemen. saw Sullivan when he was lying in his bed, and said to him, "You have no charge against me Jack?" and he said he had not. Coghlan—Yes, you said it was your brother-in.law did it, then; but you haw I IAW ENFRANCHISEMENT OF METROPOLITAN LEASE - HoLDs.—Parliament found no difficulty in passing a law to enfranchise copyholds, because that grievous descrip tion of tenure affected the landed estates of the legisla tors. Copyholds were as much a private right of pro perty as leaseholds, and there can be no just reason for continuing the widely injurious tenure on leases, any more than the now antiquated custom of exacting tines and heriots on the alienation of lands, or on the death of their proprietors. To the tenant in most instances the purchase would bo an object of the deepest interest, while the lessor could not complain, as he too should have his equivalent in money to invest at large; and although perhaps not over one-fourth part of the lease holders would purchase the freehold of their occupations; still the practice of leasing our plots anew for building, on an extensive scale, would by this plan, be effectually checked. Of all the advantages, however, that must ensue from such an enfranchisement, the greatest would be the diffusion of fixed capital, the next the estoppel of the frightful concentration of property in a few noble families, who must in one more generation clutch within their grasp the heritage of the dispossessed families of London I It must be apparent that the desired enfran chisement of leases will have the happiest influence on architecture—that substantiality will srpersede economy, haste, and insecurity—that an Englishman may truly call his house his castle, and that the arts will be en owned wad cattibi‘gd l oribuililluligul,-..agikkr, s • i 3 A.- /5' a:~ ~. 1. i WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1849,: FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY.

SIIGAR.—To-day there was a material increase in the supply of Colonial Sugar at market, yet former rates were generally obtained, as there was a good home demand. In West India a good trade was concluded at prices equal to those of Friday. The purchases amounted to 600 hhds, &c., including 152 hhds 8 trs 7 brls Barbadoes at public sale, which realised steady rates; fine yellow brought 40s to 40s 6d, good 38s to 395, middling and good middling 36s to 37s Gd; but 267 hhds 13 trs and 96 barrels West: India however went upon rather lower terms—Jamaica, good yellow sold at 37s 6d to 38s, middling 36s to 375, low 35s 6d, good brown 34s 6d, fine 35s 6d; Trinidad, ordinary yellow 34s 6d, good brown 33s 6d; Berbice, middling grey 35s to 35s 6,1, low 34s to 34s 6d; Demerara, low and middling grey 34s 6d to 355. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was not so much in demand for home use, yet prices ruled firm; brown Grocery lumps of good quality, at 48s 6d, and Standard lumps 49s to 50s. Crushed Sugar is still wanted; British at from 28s to 29s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was a considerable increase in the supply of Mauritius Sugar at market. Five public sales took place, consisting of 12,348 bags, a fair proportion of which comprised the better descrip tions of yellow; the demand being active for such, the whole sold at full rates, but inferior and brown were only partly taken upon rather lower rates. EAST INDIA. —This afternon there was a larger sup • ply of Bengal Sugar, and 6,645 bags 338 chests were brought forward by public sale; the better sorts were sold upon full terms—good strong yellow realising 40s to 41s, fine 41s 6d to 438, superior 46s Gd to 475, ordi nary 36s 6d, fine white Cossipore 48s 6d to 49s 6d; but other kinds only partly found buyers at barely former terms. Of Madras, 2,300 bags were offered, and only part sold. FOREIGN.—To - day there was no public sale of Fo reign Sugar, and privately little business was concluded. Holders remain firm—brown Havannah is held for 18s to 18s 6d, yellow 19s to 235. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a greater activity in the market for all sorts of Ceylon Coffee, and the public sales were well attended by the home trade. The parcels offered were all sold, and amounted to 134 casks 2,828 bags, whilst the rates obtained were 2s for Plantation, and is per cwt for Native above those of last week. Of Bengal 131 bags went at 32s for ordinary mixed, rather worm eaten. Three cases Mocha fine 70s 9d; and 44 bags Costa Rica fine ord 355 per cwt. TEA.—For Congou the demand has been brisk, and prices continue on the advance, making the rise on low and middling sorts within a month of Id to lid, and for these the demand has been the most active. The value of common sound clean is 8d to Eid, and good ordinary 9d to 94d, low midding and middling 10d to 11d, good middling and good Is to is 2id, fine Is 3d to is 6d, and Pekoe flavour is 6d to is 9d. In sorts from 8d to 10d some speculative purchases have been concluded. In Souchong a large amount of business I has been concluded—ordinary at 8d to 10d, mid to good Is to is Bd, fine and choice Is 9d to 2s 3d. Town and country orders continue to get larger for Green, and prices have assumed an upward tendency; several par cels are also withdrawn from the market. SPIRITS.—For Brandy the market looks firm and a good demand exists from the home trade. Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1846 has been selling at 4s 10d to ss, ditto 1847, at 3s 9d to 3s I Id, ditto 1848 at 3s 4d to 3s 6d, and inferior sorts 2s 2d to 3s per gallon. There is only a moderate stock, and de liveries continue upon a large scale. Holders of Geneva ask is 10d to is lld fur ord exportation sort, and 2s Gd to 3s for fine suitable for home use; there are, however, few buyers. British made Spirit is in good ' demand at 103 net cash; Gin 17 per cent. under proof at 9s, and 22 ditto 8s 6d per gallon. To-day Rum met with attention, and realised further reduced rates; proof Leewards selling at is 5d to is 6d, East India is 4id to Is sd, and Demerara 30 to 38 per cent. over proof, 2s 2d to 2s 5d per gallon. RICE.—To-day two parcels of Carolina Rico from New York were offered at auction amounting to 168 pkgs, when a small part only sold at 19s to 20s for first sort. For East India the demand was dull, and 880 bgs Bengal only in part found buyers at Os 6d for mid yellowish white, and at 6s to Os for damaged, which are rather lower rates. Of Tapioca 32 barrels went at 4d for ord, and 21d for damaged. COCHINEAL—This afternoon supplies of Cochineal were upon a large scale, and the public sales comprised 180 bags of Honduras and 140 bags Mexican. There was not so much demand, and for the better sorts of Honduras silvers prices declined id, but inferior fetched full rates. _ _ ------ SALTPETRE. — To - day a fair amount of business was concluded in rough by private treaty. At auction 495 bags of Calcutta sold at firm rates; good mid grey 51 per cent. refraction reached 26s 6d to 275, mid 74 do. 25s 6d to 265; 147 Madras, mid grey 14i per cent. 255, and damaged 23s per cwt. SPIOES.—To - day only a moderato demand existed for Pimento, and 185 bags at auction were taken in above the value, from 3id to 4d for good ord and mid. Ginger is not much wanted, and 200 pkts of Bengal went rather cheaper. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India has been feed for the 13th of Webruary, and the pantity 4e t dared is already 9,000 chts ; the total amount to he offered is estimated at 12,000 chts. On the part of holders there is firmness , and a fair business has been concluded at an advance on the rates of the last quar terly sale of 2d for Bengal, and 2d to 3d per lb. for Madras. For Spanish former rates are insisted upon, whilst the demand appears to be brisker. TALLOW.—There is still little disposition manifested to make purchases in Russian on the spot, and prices are yet retrograding, as the stock on hand is extensive. Sellers are willing to accept 41s 6d to 42s per cwt for fine P. Y. Candle, still soapmakers and chandlers only purchase sufficient for their im mediate wants. For delivery little business has been concluded, and 42s is the recent value for last three months of the year. Home melted is to be obtained at 42s net cash, yet few buyers are to be met with, and supply does not get smaller. The public sales of tallow went off quietly, but the parcels offered were all sold. For auction the quantity declared is 1,000 pkgs of Tallow. Rough Fat has declined to 2s 5d per stone of 81bs. OlL.—Sperm is further depressed in value, the supply havin g been much increased, whilst only a moderate de mandhas been experienced. At auction, however, a fair portion of 120 tuns sold. Of American there is a large amount on offer, and holders are yet willing to realise. For all common Fish Oils the market has a firm aspect, and supplies are small, whilst a larger demand exists. In Cocoa Nut the sales made have been of little moment, and sellers are ready to accept 33s to 37s for low to fine. Palm met with rather more attention by private treaty ; in the value, however, we have little variation to make known. Linseed Oil finds an active demand for home trade purposes, and exporters were again induced to take several parcels. Rape Oil is wanted. Olive is in greater demand, and only a mode rate quantity has again come to hand. On Friday 90 tuns Seal, 15 tuns Cod, 10 tuns Lard, 95 tuns Southern, 45 tuns Cocoa Nut, 10 tuns Sperm Oil will be offered at public sale. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. _ _ HULL, JAN. 9. Messrs. Taylor and Blights' circular states that it is believed that so large a supply in one month is without precedent at this port, and it has proved much beyond what the market could sustain; prices of each article have receded considerably, and on some as much as 20 per cent., entailing a heavy loss on the importer; a good deal, however, from necessity in some cases, and conviction that the depression was temporary in others, has been placed in granary, and after the Ist proximo this market will afford good choice of samples, though it is hardly likely at so low a range of prices as we have been able to purchase at during the past week, when a good business has been done at fully the rates of last Tuesday. Bond wheat, barley, and peas have attracted most favour—of the former, Pomeranian has sold at 41s to 43s per quarter, Danish (stale) at 38s. Seal barley fetches 28s to 295, grinding may be bought at 20s to 23s as in weight and quality. A good many of the recently arrived white peas have been taken off the market at 24s to 26s per qr, 631 b. The neighbouring farmers brought a good supply of wheat for to-day's market; the con dition was various; Mark-lane disappoints, and the weather having yesterday changed from sharp frost to rain, the tone of the trade was rather lost; still we had a good many inquiries for bond wheat, and but for holders stiffening in their ideas, some extent of business would' be practicable. A mere trifle of free wheat in the port, but it meets no demand, every one holding back for the release of bond stocks, so that the prices of the two almost assimilate. The demand for barley is good; fine qualities are fair sale to maltsters; and the low prices submitted to for grinding descriptions have brought forward a few speculators. Fine dry beans, both new and old are good to sell; but soft ones hang heavy on hand. There was a little better demand for the finer descriptions of peas during the week, but milder weather checks it somewhat; low qualities have been largely dealt in, and are not so good to buy to- day. We do not hear of ? any transaction in oats. Indian corn sells at 32s per 4801bs, and only very little on offer. The linseed arrival is again rather large, but the market is well supported. It is estimated we commence the year with about 100,000 quarters of all descriptions. We quote Black Sea at 39s 6d to 40s ; Petersburgh, 38s to 395; Lower Baltic, 34s to 375. So little rapeseed on offer, the article is hardly quotable; fair old is worth 261 per last. Linseed cakes are again easier to , buy; the unseasonable mildness and very low prices of other arti cles of feed is doubtless the cause of this article remain ing at its present figure. There is a good choice of foreign in the port, and some lots that might be bought at a speculative price. Nothing passes in rape cakes, either English or Foreign. With light arrivals and stocks of bones, the market has a firm tendency without actual business. The following are the present prices of grain : Linseed cakes, English, per ton Bl7s Od 8. 8.

The receipts of British wheat are very small, but the foreign arrivals are again large of wheat, flour, Indian corn, and Indian meal. Duties have been paid at this port between the 30th December, 1848, and sth January, inclusive, on wheat; foreign, 187 qrs.; colonial, 52 qra. Flour—foreign, 58 brls.; colo nial, 7,485 brls, Indian corn—foreign, 16,767 quarters. Beans—foreign, 2,542 qrs. Peas, colonial. 254 quarters. Indian corn meal—foreign, 5,515 qrs. The trade has been inactive throughout the week, both holders and millers and dealers seeming disposed to wait t 1 release from bond on the Ist of next month. Where transac tions have occurred, prices have inclined to the buyers. At to-day's market the sales of free wheat and flour were in mere retail parcels, at, a reduction from last Tuesday of id per bushel, and 6,1 per sack and barrel. No ope rations transpired in bonded wheat and flour, and prices remained as quoted last week. Oats were id to Id per bushel, and oatmeal 6d per load lower. Beans, peas, and Indian corn each declined is per qr., and the general demand was very dull. The market was well supplied with malting barley, and the prices gave way fully 2s per quarter. Grinding barley was Id to 2d per bushel cheaper. LEEDS, JAN. 9.—Our arrival of grain to-day is only moderate. Wheat meets a slow sale at rather under last week's rates. Fine barley is Is cheaper; other qualities are 2s lower. Oats and beans are sold on lower terms. MANCHESTER, JAN. 9.—There is an absence of acti vity in the market to-day, which contrasts strongly with the busy aspect it has presented of late. Buyers are, generally, keeping aloof for the present, finding it im possible to yield to the advances now asked, and pro ducers, on the other hand, being well engaged, show no disposition to take fresh contracts, except at better prices. This state of things of course leads to a tem porary pause. The cessation of business alluded to is fully more applicable to the yarn than to the goods market. In the latter, printing cloths of all kinds are so scarce as to command the fullest rates of last week, and a fair inquiry for other descriptions is experienced, al though not resulting in any extensive operations. The home trade houses have had a good many country cus tomers within the last few days, and are looking for ward to a brisk spring trade.—Manche,kter Examiner and Times. LEEDS, JAN. 9.—There was a good attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, and a consider able amount of business was done both for the home and foreign trades. Woaded blues add wool-dyed blacks of middle and better qualities were in demand, with an as sortment of rifle, olive, and brown cloths, and a few pilots. Prices wore not materially altered. HECKMONDWIKE, JAN. B.—The attendance of mer chants in the Blanket Hall this afternoon was somewhat improved, but there was no corresponding increase in the extent of the business transacted. Still it was un derstood that orders to a considerable extent wore given out for early shipment. There was no quotable altera tion in value. PETERBOROUGH, JAN. 6.—We have a good supply of all grain to this day's market. The growers hold their wheats firm, and are not willing to take less than last week's rates, so that little business has been done. Barley, a dull sale at Is. decline.

And strange and won derful are the deeds they do; now cursing a whole region with sterility, now removing the landmarks which for ages had been identical with the soil, changing the courses of streams, displacing forest trees, and altering the whole face of nature; anon, initiating novices with mystic rites and frantic orgies, then practising spells of fearful import, and again whirling on the blast, amid lightning and tempest, to their dread Sabbath on the solitary hill side. Familiars are at their beck, assuming delusive shapes, and darker spirits hover around— forming altogether as perfect a picture of diablerie as ever was framed in honour of St. Walpurgis. There is great earnestness throughout. There is no shirking of the subject. There is no modern philosophy, or far fetched humanitarian excuses. From first to last there is a down right faith in witchcraft which James I. himself might have envied.— Examiner. MR. BURKE'S ANECDOTES OP THE ARISTOCRACY AND EPISODES IN ANCESTRAL ►STORY.—Hitherto the talents of the author of the volumes now before us have been directed towards elucidating the hidden treasures of genealogical history. In the present instance, he has abandoned, aslit were, the rugged highways of antiquity for more flowery paths abounding in legend and romance. rhe result has been the production of two of the most interesting volumes ever issued from the press—volumes which show that there are more marvels in real life than in the pages of fiction. The anecdotes, the author assures us, however strange and startling, are invariably the stories, not of fable, but of truth. There are no less than one hundred and twenty-three of the most stirring and captivating episodes we ever remember to have pe rused. The anecdotes of the aristocracy will be read from the• palace to the hamlet, and no one can rise from these volumes without deriving a useful knowledge of some chapter of family history connected with one or other of the great houses of the kingdom.—British Army Dispatch.

Priscilla Waters, of Pentney, near Lynn, had been a dreadful sufferer for upwards of ti uneen years with bad legs, w hick several of the faculty ned tried to cure, but without success; her digestion was much impsired, and at dines she was quite inc spable of attending to her household affairs. As the medicines which she had been taking affurd , d her no relief, she was recommended to try liu,toway 's Pill; and Ointment, by the use of which she was completely cured, and for more than twelve months past she has been able to attend to her domestic duties, and could, if necessary, walk 10 or 20 miles with ease.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's EstaWishment, 244, Strand, London. WEST LONDON ANTI-ENCLOSURE SOCIETY.---At Monday's meeting at Clark's Rooms, Edgware road, G. Beacon, E-q., in the chair, the Secretary presented a splendid engraving of Earl Stanhope, elegantly framed, the gift of the Noble Earl to the society, his _Lordship having been the founder of the library. A cordial vote of thanks was given for the same ; also for his Lord ship's recent gift of many valuable books to the society. The whole property of this society is secured to the trustees of the British Museum, as additional guarantee for its security. Mr. Crawford, the landlord of the Primrose-hill Tavern, Chalk Farm, urged the committee to adopt some measures for effecting the drainage and gravelli::g the paths across Primrose. hill Park, which, in some places, presented "a sea of mud." He said that the Woods and Forests had denied him redress on ac count of their empty treasury, but gave him leave to lay down planks and rubbish at his own expense, which he had done, his p l an k s , however, being stol en one a fter another. It was ultimately agreed that the Chief Com missioner of Woods and Forests should be written to upon this subject, and if he refused redress, that a public meeting s kc Asm. should .
