br Fr #,04#1*4•111 qe, ittO SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We wish we could altogether acquit her Majesty's Ministers of havi n g themselves provoked the suspicions with which the Post-offices changes are assailed. There has lately been a concurrence of blunders, of a nature to annoy the religious feelings of the country. The worst specimen of coinage that ever came from the Mint has been rendered still more disagreeable in the eyes of loyal subjects by the absence of two or three letters, to express our recog altion of Him by whom Kings do reign. Then there came the unfortunate laches of appointing no general day of humiliation and prayer at the approach of the pestilence, now happily abated. Such inadvertencies, as we cannot but think them, make a deep impression on sensitive minds. There are not a few persons who are, perhaps, even more anxious to ascertain whether we live under a religious Government than to know their own spiritual state. We are, there n fore, by no means surp rised to find a- propositio which encroaches considerably on the observance and enjoyment of a Sunday stigmatized as an im pious innovation, " a desecration of t he Sabbath," a •'xn co meneement of Sunday husineas,"opening of, the Post-office on Sunday, " a point of the wedge,' and a great deal snore not ggstrictly d manner, a and literally true, very but expressing , in an exaerate respectable feeling. We respect the agitation against the change just as we d 3 the strenuous determination of the Dutchmen at the Cap? not to admit convicts, though it was carried to the verge of rebellion, and was not in all respects reasonable. Should Lord Clanricarde find himself obliged to bend to the storm, it will be a lesson to him and his colleagues to stand rather on their P's and Q's for the future, and to treat the religious sentiment of the country as a real and substantive power. In point of fact, however, the question is one, not of principle, but of details. The Post-office authorities and the gentlemen who spoke yesterday at the Hall of Commerce lay equal claim to the argument drawn from religious con siderations ; the former wish to protect the pro vincial Sabbath, the latter the metropolitan. The most zealous stickler for the Sabbath, therefore, must admit that there are two sides to the question A communication which we publish - frordtotir South ampton correspondent, and which re, ors, to the foreign mails, will show, that in our ,former remarks on this subject we have not at all 'o"yetstafed the inconveniences of the present practice, asfede as foreign letters are concerned. When we are told that foreign letters which have been brought from South America, the West Indies, or the Spanish Peninsula with meat end costly expedition, and which have passed Cowes on Saturday morning, can not be delivered at Liverpool or Manchester till Monday eight, and in most other parts of the country till Tuesday —‘e hen we are told that the homeward and outward hotted steamers have lain side by side in Southampton harbour for forty-eight hours, with out the possibility of a merchant out of London an swering his letters by the outward mail, one is forced to admit that something ought to be done. Certainly this must be religion . pushed to the extreme of su perstition. 'Th e varhus remedies suggested show the greatness of the evil to he removed. To our taste, we must confe::s, the worst psrt of the evil is its un fairness. A rule ought to be equal in its operation, e specially if it is a herd rule. In this instance the merchents of the metropolis find their llii - mburgh, their West India, and South Aineiican letters on their desks as soon as they sit down to: business on Monday Morning. The ma•chant3 at : Liver poet, on the contrary, are lucky if they get them late on the Monday afternoon. This throws them a whole day behindhand, and gives the London merchant a twenty-four hours' monopoly of information. When such is the case, the religions part of the question becomes invested with an unusually delicate character. A very heavy burden is laid upon Liverpool, hut London does not touch it with its little finger. When metropolitan piety obtains so immediate and so pelpable a reward as a whole day's start in the great race for profit, promotion, and honour, it ought to be doubly suspici ous of its spirit and motives, lest haply it should be found to have its reward. As the public are now thoroughly aware, it i 3 only a figure of speech to call the new arrangement an " opening" of the Post-office, or a fundamental change of any sort. Sunday work in the General Post-office is, unfortunately, no in novation.' As we are informed, a number of clerks and messengers varying from 26 to 57 is, and has long been, employed at the Pest-office on the Sunday, and chiefly during the hours of Divine service. It is proposed to add 25 to this number, but they are not to be employed between ten A.M. and five P.M., and it is pert of the plan to do what can be dune to relieve the present staff from employment during the same hours. Could we he sure that the proposed object is attainable at so small a cost as an addition of 25 to more than that number already employed ; and could we also hope thet all the middle of the day will be reserved to its more proper uses, we might acquiesce in the change. It is evident, however, that these promises must be take n on trust, and if any people think that they have reason for suspecting the Post s ffice authorities, they will condemn the new ar rangement, not for its own sake, but because it pro ceeds, as they think, from unprincipled men feeling their way to the ultimate abolition of all our religious observances. But, whatever suspicions of this sort may be entertained, the present question must still be discussed upon its own merits ; so we will proceed with the present Sunday arrangements of the Post office. The men now employed are, and always have been, engaged in sorting letters from Ireland and Scotland, and foreign letters received in London by the Sunday morning mails, for the London de livery ; and in reply to the argument of the " wedge, it is urged that this practice has never led to such delivery having been made on the Sunday. The letters lie sorted and ready for delivery from Sunday morning to Monday morning, yet neither is the Post- office anxious to deliver them, nor the public to receive them. The additional letters arriving in London on Sunday will consist of such as are to pass through London, English letters for London remaining, as at present, at the country offices. Hence the small number of sorters said to be required. The number of such additional letters is about 60,000, instead of 200,000, the estimate lately put about ; and, as it is part of the new arrangement that no letters shall Have the privilege of Sunday transmission unless they are stamped, the 50,000 will be quickly disposed of. It is evident that the plan as it now stands entirely supersedes our suggestion of a distinctive envelope, with a higher rate of postage, for the trans-London correspondence, seeing that no other letters will arrive on Sunday. We are assured that it has never been intended to employ any but volunteers in the new service; and that, if it were made imperative, it would rarely come to the turn of each individual. This, again, is a point whish we must take on trust, as, if the plan is once in practice, the public will have very . little check on the hardehho and violations of conscience that may be inflicted on the crowd of subalterns; and certainly there is some reason to apprehend that non-volunteers will find their scruples interfere with their promo tion. As to the connexion of the new arrange ment in the General Post-office with the relief of country offices, we have already observed that Sunday. transmission cannot fail to diminish the number• of country letters written on Sunday, and received on Sunday. As an extension of the plan for closing the money-order offices on Sunday through out the United _Kingdom, it will give relief on the Sunday to some two thousand persons in the pro vincial ofrecesa' so that, assuming the official estimate, the prOphrtliinate saving of Sunday labour is, say, as 2,000 to' 25. The present arrangement, which it is unnecessary to say has undergone no change since its promulgation, we are further told, stands in all its details as it did last February. That it has been long in contemplation is well known to the numerous suf ferers by the present system. When Mr. Rowland Hill was examined before the Lords' Committee on Postage in 1847, while he decidedly repudiated all idea of a Sunday delivery he proved that a Sunday transmission would involve very little additional la• bour. By the common admission of nearly all parties, the only really debatable point is the natural an intrinsic tendency of the change to end in a London Sunday , delivery. On this point we are bound to confess our selves very ill at ease with the measure. Sir James Duke touched its vital weakness when be observed, that it would give Liverpool a priority of information over London ; and that however he, or some other people, might submit to that disadvantage, the majo• rity would not be so patient, and London would de mand a Sunday delivery. If foreign letters are to be despatched over the country by the Sunday morning mails, and lodged in the post-offices all over the king dom that afternoon, it is difficult to see how they will fail to reach the owners, who will thus be a mail in advance of the metropolis. Should that be the case, it is equally difficult to sea where the change will atop short of a London Sunday delivery—a con summation of which we feel the most unqualified abhorrence.

Mr. Lamond, stockbroker (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition), said—l witnessed the signatures to the transfer certificate. lam the subscribing witness. I bought ten shares in the Sambre and Meuse Railway on the 27th of April last for Mr. Patrick O'Connor. Tie did not pay me for them until the 24th May, when he took possession of them as well as the Eastern Coun ties shares, for which he also then paid. I have not the numbers of the Sambre and Meuse shares, but there is a name upon them by which I can tell them. I bought them from Mr. George Cooper Russell, of the Stook Exchange. Looking at the ten shares produced by Mr. Inspector Yates, I find the name of Russell, a hich enables me to swear to them. It is usual for us to put the name upon shares when purchased in a significant way, so as to identity them afterwards. lam certain that the ten shares sold to Mr. O'Connor were purchased from Mr. Russell.. A person of the name of Wenharn, a clerk of Mr. Russell, brought the shares to our office and received a cheque for the amount. lie took the numbers of the shares in my presence. Donald Wenham, clerk to Mr. Russell, of the Stock Exchange, examined, said—l remember Mr. Lamond purchasing ten Sambre and Mouse shares from Mr. Russell, which were delivered on the 30th of April last by me. The ten; shares; were numbered from 26,5:2E; •cs 26,532 inclusive, and the numbers correspond with 1 1 those produced by Inspector Yates. I made an entry or [ 1 the numbers in a book at the t ime of the transaction. Mrs. Bainbridge, the wife of the brcker to whom Manning sold the goods, was next called to hear her do.. position read over. Af.er this was done she gave tho following additional evidence :—I remember Manning going to assist my husband in removing the furniture t rom 3, Ilinver-pl...ce, on a Tuesday, about nine or ten o'clock in the morning. When Manning came back I did not hear him say anything, but on the Monday before the furniture was removed I asked him if he was going to sleep at Minver-place that night, and he said he would not do so for twenty pounds. Oh the same occasion I asked him if Mrs. Manning wits coming to tea, and he said " I have sent her into the country." The girl Weldor, servant to Mr. Bainbridge, stated that on the day the, furniture was removed Manning told, her if any one inquired for him, the was to say that he had gone a fortnight. lie gave no reason; that was all he said, and I replied, " Very ..s ell." This being the conclusion of the evidence, Mr. Bodkin said (addressing the Magistrate)—This is all the evidence I am in a condition to lay before you, and ell I propose troubling you with. As I have already intimated in the course of the investigation, it any fresh evidence should transpire between now and the time up-. pointed for the trial the subztance of it will be communi cated to the legal advisers of the prisoners as early as we know it; but I do think, as I have already, stated here, that: no publinbenefit will result from a, further remand of the prisoners; there;fore, : Sir, I beg of ycu, on the evidynce already given, which appears to me abundant for :he purpoSe, toccendlit these prisoners to undergo thew - Jul issue of a trial before a jury on the charge of murder. , By a late Act of Parliament it is, I fled, absolu:eiy necessary to read over the whole depositions before the prisoners can be called upon to say anyling in answer to the charge. The Act to which I allude is Jervis's Act, 11 and 12 Vict., c. 42, relating to the duties of justices of peace out of sessions with respect to indictable offences. The 18th section states— " Aed be it enacted, that, after the examination of all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution, se afore eaid, shall have been completed, the justice of the peace, or one of the judges by or before whom such examination shall have been so completed, as aforesaid, shall, without 1 requiring the attendance of the witnesses, read, or cause to be read, to the accused the depositions taken against him and shall say to him these words, or words to the like effect—' Having heard the. evidence, do you wish to say anything in answer to the charge? You are not obliged to say anything unless you desire to do so, but e hatever you say will be taken down in writing, and may be given in evidence at your trial." I 0;11 upon you, Sir, (continued Mr. Bodkin) in com pliance with that Act, to read over the depositions, and :o address these words to-the prisoners. Mr. Bimas—l am requested to state, on behalf of my client, who well remembers the whole of the evidence that has been given, that he dces not wish to trouble you to read it over again, and to give rise to the loss of time that will take place if that is done. Mr. SECKER—In a matter of this kind I must adhere strictly to that which is prescribed by the Act of Par liament. Mr. Edwin, the chief. clerk, then read over the whole of the depositions, which it may be imagined occupied a very considerable time. The prisoners in the first instance both sat down In the dock, the female prisoner having drawn down her vei‘, which nearly concealed her features. When the depositions were read through, Mrs. Manning lifted up her veil. Her . face was very much flushed, but she laughed and smiled several times whilst conversing with Mr. Solomons and the female searcher. Manning, also, had a smile upon his countenance, and seemed altogether more composed than on any previous occasion. After a short discussion between Mr. Bodkin and the Magistrate, Mr. SECKER said—Frederick George Manning, having heard the evider,ce, do you wish to say anything to the charge? The prisoner (who rose up with a smile upon his face, and spoke in a very confident voice) said—l have nothing to say, Sir. Mr. SECIER, addressing the female prisoner, who had already risen, said, Maria Manning, having heard the evidence, do you wish to say anything to the charge? The female prisoner replied—l will leave all in the hands of my attorney.—(She spoke in a low tone, but without evincing any appearance of agitation. In ut tering these few words the ear could not catch any foreign accent.) Mr. Binns then repeated his former application for the restoration, of the moneys found upon the female prisoner for the purpose of conducting the defence of both, alleging that no evidence had yet been given to show that they belonged to another person. Mr. SECLER said at present the title to the property was questionable, and must be decided by a jury. On a former occasion he had taken upon himself to deter mine the ownership of such a portion of it as he thought might enable the solicitors for the prisoners to conduct 'heir preliminary defence, but further he could not interfere. The prisoners were then immediately removed, and the court was soon cleared. They will be kept at Ilorsemonger-lane gaol anal six days before the commencement of the next Old Bailey Sessions. The following is a copy of the commitment : " To the Keeper of her Majesty's Gaol of Newington, or his Deputy. " Receive into your custody the bodies of Frederick George Manning and Maria Manning, charged Leon) ire Isaac Onslow Seeker, Esq., one of the magistrates of the police-courts of the metropolise, sitting at Southwark Police-court, within they metropolitan police district, upon oath of James Burton and others, taken in the presence and hearing of the sail Frederick George Manning and Maria Manning; for that they the said Frederick George Manning and Maria Manning, on the 9ch day of August last, at the parish of St. Mary Mag dalen, Bermondsey, within the Central Criminal Court district, did feloniously, wilfully, and with malice afure• thought, shoot one Patrick O'Connor with a pistol loaded with gunpowder and a leaden bullet, and did then and there murderibim, the said Patrick O'Connor,jagainst the statute and against the peace, &c., &c. And I, the said magistrate, under the authority of an Act of Par liament passed in the reign of his late Majesty King IV., intituled An Act for establishing a new court for the trial of offences committal in the metropo tisi and parts adjoining,' do commit the said Frederick George Manning and Maria Manning to the said gaol, and do hereby require you, the keeper thereof, safely to keep until they shall be discharged by the due course of the law. And for so doing this shall be your sufficient warrant." This document is signed in the usual form by Mr. Seeker. The following letter from Manning to his solicitor may give some idea of his acquaintance with ortho graphy. The writing, it may be mentioned, is very dis tinct, cod appears to be that of a person who has had much practice In caligraphy. It resembles much the writing of a lawyer's clerk, being written in a slanting direction to the left instead of the right:— " My dear Sir, "punctuality his the order of the day, I must beg of you to attend if possable this morn ing at ten o'clock you will greatly oblige, " Yours, " Truly "FREDIE. GEO. MANNING, "Horsemonger:Lane Gaol Surrey, Sept. 28th, 1849." Addroas " Thorns. Binns Esq. " 1 Trinity St. " Boro.' " AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 29.—The W einer Zeitung states that the cypher of the new loan, as known in the capital on the previous evening, amounted to 18,615,400 florins. A Vienna correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, on the other hand, says the new loan does not pro• ceed as might be desired. In the space of a week scarcely 18 millions of florins have been subscribed throughout the entire monarchy. As the subscriptions are to be closed on the 4th, the most that can be hoped for by that time will be double that sum ; we must, therefore, look to foreign countries to subscribe the remaining 35 millions ; but the last commercial let tars from &flip, Frankfort, Hamburgh, and Amster dam,hold out but a slender proepect that the capitalists of these great cities will participate largely in the operations of our Minister of Finance. The splendid fete given here by Baron Rothschild is much talked of, and is connected in the minds of many well-informed persons with the new loan. It was remarked that none but officers in the Austrian service were present at it. N, LONDON: FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, THE SU PRICES OF SHARES SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. HAMBURGEI, SEPT. 30.—A1l the measures taken by the Danish Government indicate plainly it is resolved again to incorporate Schleswig into the kingdom, and to make it as it once was, a Danish province. It is evident that, reduced by the revolution of the two Duchies to its present state, Denmark can no longer materially and geographically exist as a kingdom, and that at no far distant period it will disappear from the map of Europe. The Sardinian party of Sweden and Norway, con jointly with those of the same party in Denmark, have long since meditated and projected the position of the two kingdoms and their administration under one sceptre. The Duke of Saxe Cobourg has just abolished lotteries in his state.— German Papers, October 2. bags of Penang went 7s to 8s for cargo, and 5s to 6s for damaged. SPICES.—To -day at auction 26 chests of Bencoolen Cloves in part sold at is 43 to Is 6d, low 16 2d 40 bags pod Pepper taken in at 703 ; 96 bags of Pimento sold at 44d to 5.0 per lb, and 412 bags Bengal Ginger export sort at 20s ad to 22s per cwt.

SPIRITS.— Holders of Jamaica ask full rates, and sup ply the market with less freedom, still the home and ex port demand is yet limited, and confined chiefly to the better sorts. The value of 28 to 30 per cent. over proof is from 2s 2d to 2s Bd, 32 to 38 over 2s 9d to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 3s 10d per gallon. The business done in East India has been small, still there are not sellers under is 3d for proof of fair quality. In Leedward Island the sales made have been small at Is 4d to is 5d proof, and there are not free sellers; a smaller quantity is also on offer. In Demerara the sales made have been trifling at Is 10d to 2s 2d for 28 to 40 per cent over proof. In the Brandy market there has been less activity this week, still hcilers are firm, and will not sell, but at fully last week's rates, home trade deliveries are still upon a large scale, and several parcels have been expected. Of old sorts few parcels are to be obtained. In the value of British made Spirit there is no variation, but dealers operate with caution, and the stock is getting larger. The demand for Geneva is limited at Is 9d to Is 10d, and fine at 2s 3d to 3s 3d per gallon. FRUlT.—Sitee our last we have had a good many arrivals of new Fruit. On Monday four cargoes 03 Currants arrived from Patras and Vostizza, and one since from Patras. The price opened at 425, at which they continue. Very few sales have been effected. as the growers feel much disappointed with the quality. The arrivals of Valencia Raisins are very heavy, no less than thirteen vessels this week, and several others reported. The quality is very fine. The price was altered on Friday from 46s to 425, at which it remains. Thera has been a good demand ft)! old Currants at 36s for msd ; fine old Voetizza 425. Several large sales of old Valencia Raisins have been effected for exportation.

The Giornale di Roma of the 25th ult. publishes a decree, instituting in each province a board of censor ship, to which all matters connected with the schools are to be preferred. General Wimpffen had been succeeded in the civil and military government of Bologna by Count Thurm, Governor of Parma. Seventeen Tuscans, who had formed part of Gari baldi's band, were removed from Bologna on the 26th to the Tuscan ifrontier. Eight other executions had taken place at Bologna. The Venice Gazette of the 28th ult. announces that the cholera had completely disappeared in that city. Six vessels, with Neapolitan refugees on board, having been denied admission at Ancona and Pescara, and being in want of provisions, had returned to Venice. The Austrian Governor would rot allow them to land, but supplied them with provisions and passports, to enable them to navigate freely in the Mediterranean. By a decree of General Gorzkowski, Civil and Military Governor of Venice, dated the 26th ult., commerce and exportation of intellectual productions of every kind published at Venice and in the province from March 22, 1848, to the 23th of Aegust, 1849, and alluding in the least degree to the late poli tical events, whether executed in print or lithography, in engraving, painting, sculpture, or coin, is prohibited. Printers, engravers, book sellers, and artists, possessing such articles intended for commerce, are bound to declare them within five days. The materials that have been employed to produce the said articles, such as lithographic stones, dies, &c., are comprised in the prohibition. Transgressors to be judged by court-martial and condemned to fine and imprisonment. The Venice Gazctte of the 28th ult. announces the arrival there of the Neapolitan frigate Ruggero, for :he purpose of taking on board the battery of artil ery which General Pepe had taken to Venice against :he orders of the King of Naples. TURKEY. A large fleet of steamers has hem collected in the waters of the Bosphorus and in the harbour of the Golden Horn ,- and between the entrance to the Black Sea and the Propontis, or sea of Marmora, there are twelve ships of the line at anchor, fully - ( quipped and plentifully supplied with arms and provisions. It is allowed on all sides that no nation in Europe can exhibit a finer fleet at this moment, and compe rent authorities affirm that both officers and seamen perfectly understand their duty. In the army of 100,000 soldiers assembled round the Turkish capital, drilling and reviewing are going on from daylight till dusk, and the Seraskier, and the Pachas under his command, are constantly moving about to inspect the troops. The Consular business of Russia and Austria is transacted by the Prussian Legation. That friend of order and legitimacy the Emperor of Austria is en deavouring to foment an insurrection among the Greek subjects of the Porte. Like his brother of Naples, he chooses thieves and murderers as his especial pets and allies.

FALMOUTH, OCT. 4.—The Seagull packet, Lieu tenant Smail, Commander, has just arrived with the Brazil mails, having left Rio Janeiro 16th August, Bahia 24th August, aril Pernambuco 30th August. She brings on freight about 24,0001 and the follow ing passengers :--Alessrs. Ellis and Davidson, Mrs. Piget, and Comte Zabirlo, late Russian Consul. General in Brozil. At Rio nothing important of a political nature had trans pired; business transactions for the month of July were characterised by much flatness; the march of European politics continued to impede that activity which might other wit.e have been expected in produce. Of imports the receipts were moderate, and the arrivals were principally confined to the last week of July; the market, in the interim, was with• out animation, and its monotony only occasionally isy some inquiry for re-export. 'The bust -1 ness in exchange was to an average extent, but II other respects transactions in the money market were very restricted. From the Ist to the 16th of August more activity had prevailed with coffee and exchange, as well as same articles of import in demand for re-export ; whilst of others, previously ecarce, the receipts were excessive, and prices had sensibly declined. An active inquiry for coffee (principally for Europe) had caused a material advance in prices. The sales from the Ist to the Bth of August had amounted to 73,000 bags. In freights the transactions had been likewise extensive, but the rise in coffee and exchange bad caused a reduction in the respective rates, and the number of disposable vessels exceeding the quantity of produce in the market, a further decline was looked tor. The rates paid had been—Channel 403. to 503.; London, 555. ; Havre, 50f. to 53f.; United States, 70c. to 80c. In specie the rate of exchange had impeded business, and quotations were nominal. Exchange at Rio, 26 ; Bahia, 251; and Pernambuco, 26. The Seagull left the following ships of war at Rio: —Her Majesty's steamers Hydra and Crescent ; American, Brandywine, 60 ; French corvette, Seri euse, 28, and brigs Chasseur and Entreprenant, 14, frigate Algeria, 48 ; store ship Chandenay ; Portu guese corvette, Iris, 18, Vasco de Gallia 80. Her Majesty's ship Apollo arrived on the 7th August, and sailed on the 10th for Ilha Grande to land troops and clean the ship, she being in quarantine. The Kestrel arrived the 7th of August with the River Plate mails, whence she sailed the 23d July; she left again for the River the 15th of August with mails. At Per nambuco were—her Majesty's steamer Griffin ; Bra• zilian ship of war Euterpe, 20, and brig Capiherihe, 10 ; schooner Legalidade, 8 ; Canope, 6 ; steamers Guapiassu and Thetis, $ guns each.

SUGAR,—To-day West India Muscovado was operated in with caution for all purposes, and on the part of some of the holders a greater desire was evinced to sell at a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt; still the pur chases amounted to only 450 hhds, &c., including 70 hhds chrystalized Demerara at public sale, which realized from 39s to 49s for yellow, and brown 35s 63 to 38s 6d. REFINED.—Tc-day there was no variation in the value of It fined Sugar, but not much business was concluded. The demand for Bonded Crushed Sugar is still limited, at former rates, and there are free sellers. MAURTTIUS.—This afternoon there was not much desire evinced to make purchases in Mauritius Sugar, and at a public sale of 4,000 bags rather lower rates were acceded to; fine and fine yellow went at 38s to 41s 6d, low to middling 35s 6d to 37s 6d, brown 32s to 355, and low 28s to 31s 6cl per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 6,966 bags 165 chests Behgal Sugar were offered, and about half sold at rather lower rates ; low to fie white Benares went at 31s to 42s 6d, soft yellow 333 to 375, brown ditto 31s to 325, strong yellow. 41a to 43s 6d, and white ditto 44s to 44s 63. Of „Penang 3,101 bags 35 bals 538 cases were sold ; white at 37s to 395, and yellow at 33s 6d to 36a per cwt. FOREIGN.—To• day there was no public sale of Fo reign Sugar, and by private treaty 560 chests damaged yellow Havannah were only in part sold at from 38s to 43s 6d for low to fine quality. MoLAssEs.—The market for West India has still a firm appearance; last week's rates are well supported, and purchases to a fair extent ha►e been paid; the sup ply of all sorts is also much reduced. Bengal Treacle is not much wanted, still holders ask 14s 6d to 15s per cwt, and evence firmness. EXTRAORDINARY EXPLOSION Or FIRE DAMP.- A curious though serious case of explosion of fire damp or gas occurred on Sunday last, in a house in Gidlow line, Wigan. On Sunday night a messenger was dis patched from the house in question to Mr. Winnard's surgery, and it was stated that a Mrs. Crook had been severely burnt by an explosion of gas in the cupboard. Mr. Winnard was absent at the time, attending to an urgent cholera case, but Mr. Hutchinson, the medical gentleman from Liverpool, who had been engaged to assist Mr. Winnard during the prevalence of the epide mic in this township, was in attendance, and it is said that he received the statement of the messenger with an amount of incredulity, which is only to be accounted - by his inexperience in a colliery district. A woman burnt by an explosion of gas from a cupboard—he could not believe it! However, he proceeded to the honse, where he found Mrs. Crook in g reat suffering, having been severely scorched about the face and neck. It was stated that she was going to the cupboard with a lighted candle in her hand, when the terrific explosion of fire damp took place. Mr. Hutchinson, it would appear, was still " hard of belief," and Crook, the husband of the woman wh) was injured, asked h'm if he would wish to see a repetition of the explosion, stating that it would be attended with no evil consequences. Mr. Hutchinson assented, and we may be sure that he exercised no s ed and mall degree of caution when the cupboard was open the light applied. Crook, however, was unfortunately less apprehensive, and a tre mendous explosion taking place, ho received a serious burn on that very sensitive organ of the human physiology —the nose. The people in the house screamed, and the greatest consternation prevailed. It is stated that the body of flame ran along the ceiling and escaped out at the door, but Mr. Hut chinson says that ho did not observe this phenomenon. We should state, for the information of those who may be unacquainted with the locality, that the house is situated immediately over a coal-mine, and tho gas must have made its way through the earth into the cupboard. The woman, we are sorry to say, is still in a very preca rious state; but Mr. Crook's nose is, according to the last report, in a state of convalescence. Wigan Times. ST. MARTIN, LUDGATE.—Last night, a vestry meeting was held in the vestrprcom of the parish of Saint Martin, Ludgate, for the purpose of making a poor-rate, and church-rate, and for other business. Mr. Benjamin Fellowes, senior churchwarden, presided. The minutes of the last vestry having been read and confirmed, the vestry:clerk read the statement of the parish accounts, showing that a rate of eightptnce in the pound would b e required for the support of the poor ; and a rate to that amount was accordingly moved and agreed to. It was next moved and agreed to that a rate of threepence in the pound should be levied for the old churc h-rate, there being in this parish an extra rate to wards payment of a debt incurred for church repairs and i m provements, which it is understood will be liquidated. It was next moved tied egreed to, that a vote of 51. should be granted to the Royal Society for Escape from Fire, towards defraying the expenses of the statical in this parish; and in passing the vote, testionn.v was borne to the value and usefulness of the society. he vestry then terminated. Cocoa.—There are ready sellers of West India upon former reduced terms, still few buyers are to be m with, and the supply at merket exceeds dealers wants. et At public sale 48 barrels and 156 bags Trinidad were taken in at 38s to 41s for ordinary and middling. and 8 barrels St. Vincent's at 38s per cwt. For Foreign sellers are disposed to accept the low terms of 25s to 27s per cwt. TEA.—None has been submitted to public competition this week, but by private treaty the market is plentifully supplied with most descriptions. Fine and good descrip tions of Congou have been dealt in with caution at Is 3d to Is 9J, and at these rates there are willing sellers; supplies continue to get larger. For other sorts a good dtmand exists, and the market is firm; ord and good ord at 9d to 9id. In the market for Green there has been much dulness, and holders are will ing sellers at rather lower rates; there is also a larger quantity on offer. Scented Teas are not much wanted, and can be obtained at a slight reduction, as supplies are better. ICoirsz.—This afternoon there was little desire on the part of shippers or home dealers to operate in Coffee, and most sorts can be obtained at rather lower rates. At public sale 51 bags Mysore were sold; good ordinary red at 3 5 s 6d, yellow 375 64, fine ordinary 454, damaged 33s 61 to 353 6d. 216 bags Plantation Ceylon, middling 53s to 549, low middling 50s 64 to 52s fine fine ordinary 445. 673 bags Rio were taken in at 325 to 32s 6d for ordinary broken mixed with black. 32 half-barrels roasted and partly ground were bought in at 4d per lb in bond. 184 cases Tellicherry were sold, fine and fine ordinary at 505 to 52i, good ordinary 44s to 48s, an'l pea berry 56, 61 per cwt. The value of Native Ceylon is 38s 6d to 39s per cwt for good ordinary. RIM—To-day East India Rice met with attention, * and the public sales went at full rates; of white Bengal 2,104 bags were sold at 93 to 11s i and low at 8s; 3,822 En.xx)Gza, Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid.

A tall muscular man, rattled Charles Baines, a labourer in the docks, was charged with having cr.:Dilly maltreated Mary Ann Maye, a woman with whom he cohabited, and thereby caused her death. The prisoner, who made no attempt to deny the charge, and declined cross-examining the witnesses, was remanded for a week for the completion of the evidence against him. William Harris, clerk in the office of highly re spectable solicitors in the City, 'who stood charged with having uttered numerous forged 51.

A. respectable looking young man named William Mew, who was described on the charge-sheet as a commercial traveller, residing at Bexley-heath, was brought before Mr. Seeker, in the custody of Ser • geant Hughes, of the L division, charged with at tempting to murder Helen Ealing by administering • a large portion of poison to her. Rebecca Gilbert, a very intelligent young woman, said she resided with her mother at 26, Bennett. se , street, Stamford-street. About three weeks ago last Wednesdey the prisoner and the NrOMOD came to her mother's house and represented themselves as husband and wife. The prisoner hired furnished apartments, and stated his name to be Anderson, and that he was g, a commercial traveller. They lived in the house quietly until. Wednesday the 26th ult., when Helen Ealing, his supposed wife, cooked some dinner, and carried it up stairs. She then heard some words ensue, and a few minutes after one o'clock the pri soner came down stairs and told hlr that his wife had gone out suddenly, and he could not tell where she - was gone to, and that he should go and look after her. After he had left the house witness went up-stairs and found the door of his apartments locked, when she suspected that they had both left the house and might return at tome hour in the night. She accordingly sat up fcr them until two o'clock on Thursday morning, but the pli as soner did not return until Saturday morning, when he came and asked witness whether his wile (Helen • 14 Ealing) had returned. Witness replied in the nega tive, when he left the house in a sudden manner. She suspected that something was wrong from his excited state, which induced her to go up stairs to his apart • meat and try the door. She found it locked, which _ caused her to look through the keyhole. She then saw what she supposed to be a woman lying on the ea bed, which caused her to inform her mother of her suspicion. Assistance was immediately procured, and the door aas forced open, when they found the woman on the bed apparently in a dying state. Mr. SECHEIt—AV hen did you see her prior to that ? Witness—l saw her on the Wednesday morning when she cooked the dinner. She was then in good 34 health. Mr. SECIEEIt—Was she dressed when you dis covered her in the bed? Witness—She was, sir; exactly in the same dress that she wore when she cooked her dinner on Wednesday. I was so frightened when I saw her that I ran out and fetched a surgeon. Mr. J. Vardey, sur g eon, of Stamford street, said 1 that he was called into Mr. Gilbert's house on Satur day morning, the 29th ult. He went up-stairs into the second-floor front room, and saw a woman lying on the bed in a state of coma, apparently from inhaling cloroform or some noxious drug. She was then recovering from a state of somnolency which appeared to have lasted some days, and she was conscious of everything about 4 her, but unable to speak or reply to his questions. is- Lie had heard that she had been locked up in the room 1 14 two or three days, and it was his impression that some 2% 5 narcotic drug had been administered to her, but that 7s her constitution had overcome its deadly effects. Mr. SECKER—Have you examined the contents of - the stomach ? Mr. Vardey—l have not, as it was too late, and quite useless to do so. S he was gra ms dually recovering when I saw her, and was able to T make me conscious of her feelings. Mr. SECKER—Did you examine the room to ascer tain whether anything was lying about which might 6d- have contained poison ? Mr. Vardey—l looked about the room, and saw a key lying on the table, but I - could see no phial or anything which had contained 8 1 poison or any narcotic drug. From the appearance .oa. of the place I believe she did not take it herself. • Mr. SECKER—CouId you form any opinion when the drug was administered? Mr. Vardey—l should 6s think about two days. lam surprised how her con 6d. • t stituon subdued the effects of the drug. a% 6d Mr. SECKER—CouId not a small dose taken on the Friday have the same effect ? Mr. Vardey—lt is _ impossible. The narcotic must have been taken at a I .!! more remote period. Prisoner—Was the door locked inside or out ? Mr. Vardey—The door I entered was locked in side, and the key was on the table, but the other door was open. As soon as I discovered that poison had lee. been administered I recommended Miss Gilbert to - inform the police, when Mr. Wagstaff, the police surgeon, was called in and assisted me in examining the woman. I have since attended her, but she is not free from danger. Miss Gilbert was here recalled, and stated that she believed them to be husband and wife, but she ex pected that some jealousy existed between them, as a Mr. Green used to call upon the woman, and the 14 prisoner had requested her to deny her being at home. The prisoner left the house on Wednesday morning, the 26th ult., stating that he was going to look after his wife. He came to the house on Friday evening and went up-stairs. He remained a very few minutes, and on leaving he told her his wife had not returned, and be wondered where she had gone to. She did not see him afterwards until he was in custody. Mr. SECKER—CouId any person enter the house at any time without being seen by yourself or mother ? Witness—They could not. Had the woman left the house on Wednesday she or her mother must have seen her enter. The street-door was always kept locked, and the key inside. Mr. SECKER—Have you any idea how the poison or drug was administered ? Witness—The woman told her that when she place the dinner on the table some porter was poured into a glass by the prisoner. She swallowed the contents and was immediately overcome. She recollected nothing else until wit ness forced the door open and found her on the bed. Sergeant Hughes, 20 L, said, that he was called in to see the woman, when he received information that the prisoner had administered some poison to her. He searched for him, but was unable to find him until the previous evening, when he took him into custody. He told witness that he wished "he had been at the devil before he saw her." Mr. SECKER—Did you not tell him the nature of the charge ? Witness—l told him he was charged with administering poison to Helen Ealing with in tent to murder her. Mr. SECKER—What did he say to that ? Witness —He said he hoped I heold w him he as not could not seeead, and he wished to go and see her. ther, and I then took him to the police-station. The pri soner told Mr. Green on Saturday that Helen Ealing was dead, and that she had done it herself. Elizabeth Dunn, lodging-house-keeper, 49, Burr street, East Smithfield, said she had known the woman some time. She was a very bad girl, and had twice taken poison. The prisoner lodged at her house and was a married man, but Helen Ealing induced him to f• lope with her from her house about three weeks ago. She had been in prison for attempting to commit suicide, and she was positive that she had taken the drug herself with the same intent. She had heard that the prisoner was charged with the murder, and she recommended him to give himself up to the police. The woman was the daughter of a solicitor's clerk, but in very poor circumstances. DIED On the 20th ult, at Brcoklands, St. Helier's, Jersey, H. F. Be'son, EFq., Commander, Royal Navy.
