THE SAPPHO-CAMBRIA YACHT RACE, The yachts left Cowes this (Saturday) morning at four o'clock ; and were towed to the east end of the Isle of Wight. There was a strong breeze blowing from W.S.W., and it is repor'ed that it is a heavy sea in the Channel. At ten o'clock the Cambria returned under easy canvass with sails set, and on passing Ryde Pier she hauled down her sidling flag and hoisted the flag of the Commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF MR. BUXTON, M.P. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) To-day Alfred Shelley White, aged 27, was brought before Mr. Flowers, under a warrant issued under the Extradition Treaty, charged with felo niously shoDting at Mr. Charles Buxton, M.l'., on the 19th of April last, with intent to murder him. The prisoner, when placed in the dock, appeared in an excessively nervous state, and, from his vacant and dejected appearance, he seemed to be a per son of unsound mind. Inspector Druscovitcb, of the detective depart ment of the police, said the prisoner was given into his custody at the Prefecture of Police, and on being asked his name said it was Alfred Shelley. He (wit ness) showed his warrant, and also told him he was a detective police officer, and that he was about to convey him to London upon the authority of the warrant he held, in which he was charged with attempting to murder bis late em ployer, Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P. The only reply the prisoner made was " Yes," When the prisoner •was arrested a revolver was found upon him, and on a further search four bullets, fitting the chamber of the weapon, were found wrapped up in paper in one of his pockets. The pistol and bullets were shown to him, and when asked some questions relative to them, said they belonged to him, and be had signed a declaration to that effect. William Gamble, a footman in the service of Mr. Charles Buxton, said the prisoner was, up to the day on which the attempt was made, in the employ of that gentleman as secretary. Inspector Druscovitch said be did not intend to offer any further evidence on that occasion than that which was absolutely necessary to justify a remand. The prisoner, on being asked by the magistrate, declined to say anything in answer to the charge. The Magistrate then formally remanded the pri soner, and he was removed from the bar. During the short examination he appeared to be in a wandering, dreamy state, and totally indifferent to the proceedings. Mr. Fechter's return from America is daily ex pected. His career has been successful, as he has entered into an engagement to go back again in the autumn. Bell's Life hears that, o❑ account of the continued illness of Mr H ene, his entire stud of horses in training, including Bismark, Acorn, Hawthornden, and some highly bred two year olds, will be sold without reserve at Albert Gate on the Thursday before the Derby. Mr. E. M. Ward's picture of " Judge Jefferys aud. Richard Baxter." and Mr. Fri , h's picture of Mrs. liousby as Princess Elizabeth, in "'Twist A is and Crown," have been purchased by Mr. Brooke, of Kenwood Tower, Highgate. The sum paid for the first was £1,500, and 350 guineas for the second.

Some houses in the neighbour hood were also much burnt, REPRESENTATION OF NORWICH.—The Liberal party will hold a meeting next week to definitively select a candidate to whom the party may, if possible, extend united support. Three Liberal candidates are now mentioned— Mr. Tillett, Sir T. Buxton, and Mr. E. Warner. The Melbourne Argus tells that on the news of Sir Charles Darling's death raaching Melbourne, the Go vernment, in accordance with the popular wish, proposed a provision of £l,OOO a year for Lady Darling, and a settle ment of £5,000 on her four sons. The bill was passed by general assent through both Rouses, only one dissentient being found. The Governor has given the Royal Assent to the bill. A disturbance arose yesterday at the Fenchurch street Station between the officers of the Blackwell Rail way Company and the drivers and proprietors of non privileged cabs. The company eject the non-privileged cabs, and the league, resenting this, held a meeting on Thursda, and resolvei to demand admission. Eight cabs were driven up yesterday morning, and g t into the ground, owing to the chain being down. An officer ran to fasten the chain, and a general fight ensued, severe injuries being inflicted on both side . The City police arrived, and took two men into custody, but the inspector dismisse them, and advised the company to take out summonses which the Lord Mayor refused to grant. Cross-sum mouses for damages done ¶o the sabs were afterwards applied for. THE PROPOSED REPUBLICAN MEETING IN HYDE PARK.—Last night a meeting was held at the Hall of Science, St. Luke's, when the following resolution was agreed to :—" That this meeting having before it the official declaration of the Home Secretary that there was no truth n the statements made in the official journals, and in some of the English papers, that the French Government had demanded the extradition of M. Flourens, deem it unneces sary to hold the proposed meeting in Hyde Park on Sunday, but at the same time desires to express its great sympathy with the Republican party in France and its efforts to pro mote a republic in that country." ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MAlDSTONE.— Yesterday morning, Edward John Dry, aged 18, attempted to murder his grandfather by firing a pistol at him. The bullet passed very near the old man's head, and the unhappy youth ex pressed regret at his failure. He has been latterly in the habit of staying out at night, and his grandfather (with whom be had lived from infancy) locked him out. He will be brought up for examination at the Town Hall to-day. On Thursday afternoon some persons employed in the washing barges near the Pont d'Arcole, remarked two men, apparently workmen, walking by the side of the river disputing with great animation, an I on a sudden disappearing under an arch of the bridge. A moment after the report of a pistol was heard, and several men, amongst them an inspector of police, hastening to the spot found the body of a man lying dead in a pool of blood, with the face horribly mutilated. He was recognized by his dress as one of the two men noticed by the washerwomen; the other had disappeared. A doctor, who soon after arrived, declared that death had resulted from the discharge of a pistol point blank in the face of the victim. The corpse was taken to the Morgue. SUPERSTITION IN THS NINETEENTH CENT U RY.— After the hearing of a few night charges at the Thames Police-court, Mr. Lushington li tened to the appli atio s of many seeking warrants and summonses and soliciting ad vice and assistance. An Irishwoman, dwelling in one of the miserable ccurts off Rosemary-lane, asked the magis trate to arrest Biddy Coghlan for bewitchi g her hen, which died yesterday morning, and enchanting the eggs of the bird, at the same time producing several eggs, which had nothing peculiar in their appearance, except that they were smaller than usual. Every egg was bewitched by her evil neighbour", and she killed the he by her spells. Mr Lushington would hear no more, and told the foolish woman to go about her business. " What shall I do with the eggs?" asked the woman. " Take them home and conk them for your husband's dinner," exclaimed an officer of the court, gently pushing her out of the building. "Faith, now," said the woman amidst derisive laughter, "am I going, think ye, to put the devil into my husband's inside ; shu e there is a devil in each egg." She retired much dis appointed that no steps were taken to punish Biddy, the " wicked enchantress" of her hen and eggs. THE sirN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1870 THE CHELSEA TRAGEDY.

FURTHER PARTICULARS. The girl who was said to have been taken into I custody last night, for complicity in the diabolical tragedy at Chelsea, is in the hafids of the police, who, when the prisoner was brought yip to-day, exercised their discretion, and made her a wit. nese for the prosecution. She is of a very pre possessing appearance, And is a prostitute of the cotia monest elms, paralysed On the left side, andmaptge ther by def orm it y o f m i n d an d b o d y a fit co ion for the deep-dyed villain whose cold-blooded deeds have raised a cry, ere this, throughout the length and breadth of the land. She resided at Westminster, and had not been long with the prisoner when the cab arrived at the house, and Mr. Piper discovered the blood on the bottom of the box ; then she fled, hearing of the horrid deed, and was only discovered last night. All the new clothes that the prisoner bought her have been sold or pawned, and she is now in a deplorable state. The police have not any intention in charging her, but in their capacity of public protectors, they have taken a very wise' and proper course in keeping her at the Chelsea station, so as to secure her attendance and evidence. It does not appear, however, that she can throw any light on the matter, but may explain the movements of the prisoner anterior to the murder of the unfor tunate old housekeeper and the disposition of his . clothes after the murder of the old gentleman, a s they evidently bore traces of the terrible crime in the kitchen, where the old gentleman was probably mur dered. The male prisoner is still kept handcuffed, and presents the same forbidding and morose aspect, rendered more hideous by his sallow face and maho gany-dyed beard and moustache. He was brought from the House of Detention about 2 o'clock and examined at 3 o'clock. In reference to the discovery of the body of the Rev. Mr. Heulin, which has intensified the excite ment already existing in the neighbourhood, we learn that the police received intelligence which caused them to renew their search for the body at Welling ton-square, and ultimately they succeeded in finding the remains of Mr. Heulin secreted in a drain in the yard which had some time ago been opened by order of Miller, and left in an unfinished state. The woman who was present in the kitchen when the box was being corded, but who escaped directly the facts of the case began to be suspected by the van man, has been apprehended, but it does not appear that she is an accomplice in any way. The pri- soner on being removed to Westminster Police Sta tion appeared to be in a very weak condition, and the charge was read over to him twice before he showed any signs of having comprehended what was addressed to him, and on. the second reading of the sheet to him the only emotion expreFsed was by a slight nervous twitching of the lips. He appears to be in a state of extreme prostration, but there is still considerable doubt expressed as to whether he really took poison or not; the fragments of a bottle smell ing of carbolic acid were found in his pocket, which would seem to show that he had attempted to com mit suicide. THE MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Stock Markets have ruled firm to-day, and the trans actions have been rather extensive for a Saturday. Foreign Bonds have been in demand, at an average rise of 1 per cent. Russian 1870 Scrip is 1 better. Consols are quoted at 941 to 941 for money, and 941 to 941 for the June account, Reduced and New Three per Cents. are 921 to 921; India Five per Cents., 114 to 1141; India Bonds, 20s. to 25s prem. ; Exchequer Bills, par to ss. prem. Money has continued in fair demand, and the supply of capital in the open market being comparatively small, the rates have been maintained at quotations fully equal to the Bank rate—namely, 3 per cent. for the best short paper. There is less demand for six months' paper, and the price is not above 3 to 31 per cont. Home Railway Stocks have been pressed for sale, and prices have given way considerably. The most important feature, however, is the demand for Metropolitan Stock, which shows a reaction off per cent. All the other changes have been unfavourable. Caledonian have declined 1; Great Eastern, 1; Great Northern,l ; ditto (A), 1; Great Western Consolidated ordinary, London and Brighton, Lon don and North Western, Midland and South Eastern, i ; South Eastern Deferred Stock is slower. The market for Foreign Bonds has continued very firm. The business doing has not been extensive, but a further general advance has taken place in prices. Argentine, 1868, have risen 1; Chilian, 1867, 1; Egyptian, 1868, ; ditto Government Railway Debentures, 1; Guatemala, 1; Mexi can, k ; Peruvian, 1865,1 ; Russian, 1870, f; ditto Scrip, 1 ; Spanish, 1; ditto, 1867, 1 ; ditto, 1869, 1. American Securities have been steady in value and in quiry. Five-Twenty, 1837, Bonds have advanced 1. The Tea-Forty /, and Erie Shares 1. Although the Market for Bank Shares has not been active, the tone of the market has been steady, and the move ments have been favourable. Bank of Egypt have risen 1 ; Colonial, 1; London and Brazilian (New), 1 ; and Union of London, 1. Rather more firmness has been apparent in the demand for telegraph shares, and some slight impiovement has taken place in values. Falmouth and Gibrallar shares have advanced 1, Great Northern and Panama 1; but Marseilles and Malta, and Reuter's are 1 lower. Telegraph Construction shares have maintained Irevious quotations, but Silver's India Rubber have been lower. In other Miscellaneous Securities the transactions have been only moderate, and the fluctuation have been trifling. It is understood that the necessary arrangements have been completed by the Metropolitan Railway Company for perfecting the scheme of the Surplus Land Company, and that the directors have given instructions for the pro rata alletment of the shares of the prosprietors of the ordinary stock of the company in accordance with the resolution of the general meeting held in February last. It is also said that the arrangements have been completed for taking the Chatham and Dover traffic to Moorgate. The report of the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company (Limited), to be presented on the the 25th inst., rocommends an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The report of the Parkgate Iron Company for the year ended the 31st of March recommends a dividend of a 108 per share, being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, leaving, after an appropriation of £1,331 to roserve, a bal ance of .£l,OOO to be carried forward.

Walter Miller, the prisoner who stands charged with a horrible murder of unparalleled atrocity, was re-examined at the Westatinster Police-court, charged with feloniously killing and slaying Anne B Goss, late servant to the Rev. Mr. Heuline, clerk in holy orders, of No. 15, Paulton-square, Chelsea ; and further, Nlith feloniously killing and laying the Rev. Edward Heuline, a clerk in holy orders, at No. 24, Paulton-square, Chelsea. The court and approaches were densely crowded by a large, and at times turbulent mob, but under the directions of Mr. Selfe, the sitting magistrate, the court was kept comparatively clear, and greatly facilitated the proceedings, which were, as before, underjthe arrangement of Mr. Superintendent Fisher of the T division, and Inspector Arnold and Sergeant Stevens, of the B division. The prisoner was brought in the middle of the day from the House of Deten tion in a cab, still heavily ironed, as the authorities fear that, unless under considerable restraint, he will again attempt to destroy his own life, as he did when taken into custody on Wednesday night. He pre sented the dogged, unprepossessing appearance of yesterday, and, combined with au excessively sallow complexion, sunken eyes, and death-like, fearful hue of countenance, was perfectly hideous at some points of the examination, when the reminiscences of the terrible crime were vividly placed before him in the evidence. He was allowed to be seated during part of the examination, and was excessively irritated on more than one occasion at the recital of the finding of the bodies. The first witness called by Superintendent Fisher was the woman who bad been seen with the prisoner, and who had been discovered by Sergeant Brooker, of the T Division, was brought to the court at ten o'clock, and the precincts from that moment were densely crowded. Mr. Selfe took his seat at 2 o'clock, and after dis posing of the usual business, the first witness called by Superintendent Fisher, after the woman had at tempted to identify the prisoner, and evidently de clined to do so, fainting after the first look at him, was Joseph Coles, 194 T division, proved the appre hension of the prisoner. About 10 o'clock on Wed nesday evening last I was on duty in Paulton-square. 1 was on duty when Piper, accompanied by the pri soner, came to the top of the square where 1 w.s standing. Piper said he had been employed by the prisoner to take a box away, and he believed there was something wrong ; he wished me to go down to the house with him. We walked down to the house, the prisoner in the middle. When we got to the house the prisoner would not come in. When I found he would not come in I told Piper to send for another constable, and he sent his man for one. About three minutes after the man had gone prisoner became restless and could not be quiet, and he began to walk backwards and forwards past the houses. I kept close to him all the time. I told him he could stand still, and when another man came to go about his business. I said that to make him quiet. About three minutes afterwards, as we walked to Dawer's-street, he sud denly made a bolt, pulled off his hat threw it away. I pursued him in company with Piper, and called " Murder !" and " Stop thief !" both of us as loud as we could. lie ran off to the bottom of Danvers-street to Lombard-street, where he was retaken. I then saw him to the station. I had nothing to do with the house. I kept by the prisoner with orders of the inspector. I searched him at the station, and found £lO in gold, 96 9d in silver, and sid in bronze, a corkscrew, two knives, paper pencil, spectacles and case, three gloves, and a common ring; an abstract of a title deed for 24 Wellington-square, Chelsea, rent book, silk hand kerchief, 'and two envelopes, addressed to Miss Boss. . The title deed was produuced, and was covered with coagulated blood. By the Magistrate—l found only £1 10s. in Old. I gave the title deed to Mr. Tareton, my inspector. Mr. John Cuter was then called to identify the body of the deceased, Ann Boss. He said lam a gentleman, residing at The Vale, King's-road, Chel sea. I have seen the body cif a female found at Paulton-square, Ann Boss. Shd - *as hotisekeeper to the Rev. Mr. Heulin, who lived at 113, Paulton square. I can also inentify the spectacles found. By Mr. Selfe—l'm not clear when I last saw her alive, about four or five days previous to this. The kitchen was the room she occupied. I saw the woman in the bctx. I never saw the box before. Prisoner replied to the magistrate, on asking if he would put a question, in a husky voice, saying "No" in a broad Scotch accent. ESidney Ball sworn—l am a baker, acid live at 200, Fulham-road, at Mr. Linfield's, the baker. I was in the habit of serving the house, and was there on Monday morninglast, and did not see the old housekeeper. I saw her last this day week at half past 1 o'clock. I was there on the Monday between 12 and 1, and did not see her then. I rang and nobody answered. I saw Mr. Heuiin, too, on the Saturday. Sergeant John Large 1 T Reserve, sworn—l was sent to 15, Paulton-square on Weinesday evening at 10 o'clock by Inspector Fareton from Chelsea station, and on my way to the square mEt the prisoner Cole, Cole, and Piper coming to the sta tion. Piper returned to 15 with me and showed me a box in the back kitehen, st ,nding close by the door, with this piece of cord (produced) tied partly round it. On moving the box I saw blood —a quantity—on tha bottom, and took the poker from the fire-place. I have opened the box and found the body of a woman. I took hold of her amid found she was cold, and sent for a doctor, and Mr. Ryley arrived in about two minutes. The doctor pronounced her to be dead directly he caught hold of her. On moving her head I found this piece of cord tied tight round the throat. After I took it I compared it to that round the box, and it corresponded. The box is 2 feet 11 in. long, 1 feet 5 inches wide, aid 1 feet 7 inches deep. That is all I have to say. James Smith was called to prove a threat towards the deceased by prisoner, having regard to the rev. gentleman's and old lady's money, and his desire to procure it. At the conclusion of his evidence, prisoner said, " Now, Smith, you are contradicting your own self, you having spoken nothing but falsehood." Smith—l have not. Wm. Smith Pilditch, builder, of Dieppe-street, North-end, Fulham—l have seen the prisoner once before last Tuesday, or twice . He asked the rents of the houses, and told him £25 a year. He was to take it by the year, and got I it ready on Tuesday, but he never came, and I have never seen hiin till to-day. Elizabeth Green, the prisoner's companion, a timid, half-witted creature of about 20 years of age, but the police stated she had again fainted and could not be called. Inspector James Pay of the detecctive department, Scotland-yard, said—On Monday the 12th of the present month I went to 20, Seymour-place, Ful ham, and there found in a box these papers, abstract title-deejs bearing the name of Mr. Heuldin, 15, Paaltney-square, also addressed to him; also a bunch of keys and a pair of trowsers, which have small spots of blood on them. One of the keys— Mr. Carter then prodnced the key of the ward robe in the parlour. That key found on the pri soner is like mine. Mr. Fisher—The keys bear on tha other charge. Witness—Prisoner is a married man. I went with her from the station to the house. There is no child at home, and she says she has another in Scot land. Elizabeth Green—l am married. My husband's name is Edward Gree*. I live at St. Ann's-street, No. 27, I think ; my husband is there, for what I know. I saw the prisoner last Wednesday night ; m.e.t him nett street to Windmill-street, Haymarket. He spoke to me. I said, " Please sir, do you want to buy a box of lights " He said, " You had better put the liglits in your pocket, and come to me." He then asked me to go in a public-hon=e near, and have something to drink. 1: said I did not mind. I went and had something ; I was cold and wet. We went and had more in another public, and tnen he took me in a fly, and took me to his home. I came down to the square at Chelsea, and then we went in a room and he called for a bottle of wine ; a woman brought it up. He gave me a glass, and then ano ther, and asked me to have another, and I would not. I said no more ; good night. I was not there when anybody came to the door. I saw nothing of anybody else. I got drank that night, and was locked up here, and you let me go. Mr. Fisher—l think the prisoner brought here some clothes. Witness—He bought this jacket, hat, dress, boots, and stays, and ~:ter he changed the silver he gave me the eoppers, about 7id. worth. Inspector Sareton, T Division—The prisoner was brought to the station and put in the dock. He was searched, and the articles produced to me. The blood was on this deed, ;n the left-hand coat pocket. It is blood. The constable said he had run away, and he had some trouble in catching Lirn. The money and keys were found in his pocket with a bottle broken to pieces, and a cork in the neck. The moment I saki it was a poison bottle the prisoner fell over the front of the dock, and I sent for Dr. Gode rich directly. I had him laid on his back in the re serve room, and the Dr. stayed some time with him, and then he was taken to the hospital. Mr. Fisher said that was all the evidence in that charge, and he would now proceed with the murder of Mr. Heuline. Edward James Payne, a labourer said, I know the prisoner. He came to me last Monday at half-past twelve, and engage 1 me to dig a drain in Wellington square, The spot I after pointed out to the police in the back yard. I dug it and he sent me away in an hour and a half, and told me the house was let and after that we left the house just turned half-past two. I was to meet him the next morning and did not find him. I went o❑ the Tuesday and Wed nesday and Thursday and did not see him. He never paid me. Nothing was said about payment. He had whiskers then and fair moustache, it has been dyed since. I showed the spot to the police where the body was dug. _ _ W. Arthur proved that on Monday the prisoner shaved his whiske rs. The body was identified by Mr. Carter. Mr. Clough, a dtective, and Wm. Watts, a detec tive, proved finding the body of deceased buried at the entrance of the closet, without coat but otherwise fully dressed. There was blood all over it, and a rope tied tightly round the neck ; his gloves were on. The hat was found smashed under the boards of the back kitchen. Dr. Aubray Turner, 182, King's-road, M.R.C.S., Ras called to see the body, and after describing it he was of opinion that death was caused by a frac ture of the skull. A spade or pick, as produced, would have done it. Prisoner was then remandel for the depositions to be read. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PER SONATING WOMEN. BO W- S TREET—(Tius DAY.) Ernest Boulton, aged 22, gentleman, and Frede rick William Park, aged 23, law student, were again brought up before Mr. Flowers, charged with frequenting places of public resort in female attire with felonious intent, &c. The same excitement existed outside the court as on previous occasions, and the court outside was crowded in every part. On the Magistrate, Mr. Flowers, taking his seat shortly after. two o'clock, the time fixed for hearing the case, Mr. Poland, instructed by the solicitor to the Treasary, prosecuted, and the prisoner Boulton was defended by Mr. Besley, and Park by Mr. Straight, instructed by Mr. Abrams, Martha Stacey, the landlady of the house 13, Wakefield-street, was cross-examined by Mr. Bexley. She said the prisoner Boulton always behaved with propriety while in her presence, and he never made any secret of his letters, as they were found con stantly lying open on the breakfast table. She had seen Cumming, Gibbons, and Thomas at her place, but had never heard anything disgusting or immoral in their couversatiou. Inspector Shenton produced a list of the female attire found at Wakefield-street. It consisted of 16 dresses, 13 petticoats, 9 cloaks, bodices, boots, chig nons, powder, rouge, and wadding. There was also ia bottle of chl oro fo rm an d a gre yb ear d. A good deal of discussion here ensued as to the right of doing so. It was subsequently decided to read a few of them. After this was done, Mr Flowers observed that they were very impor tant, but he still thought he should be doing right in accepting bail for the defendants during the next remand. (Applause.) Mr. Poland then handed a letter to Mr. Flowers, which he read privately, after which he said he had altered his opinion and should feel justified in re manding the prisoners for another week without bail. The prisoners were then remanded. SPORTING IN TELLIGENCF, CITY BETTING—THIS DAY.
