NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In Lombard-street and at the Bank of England rather more paper has been offered for negotiation, but very little alteration is perceptible in the market. The withdrawals of gold for shipment have as yet produced no perceptible effect, bankers and brokers being still desirous of getting their resc‘yes into profitable employment. Gold amounting to £41,000 was withdrawn from the Bahl( of England yesterday. The Silver Market is quiet, and large quantities are expected by the next Mexican mail. The cur rent prices of bullion are as follows : —Bar gold, 77 8- 9d. per standard oz. ; do., Parting, 78s. do. ; doubloons, Spanish, 755. 9d. per oz. ; do., Mexican and South American, 735. Bd. do. ; United States eagles, 765. 3d. to 765. 4d. do., scarce. Bar silver, 3 s- Old. to 3s. 00. per standard oz ; do., contain ing gold (5 grs. and upwards), ss. Oid. to ss. ld. do- ; Mexican dollars, 4s. 11d. per oz., last price ; cake silver, 651 d. per oz. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, for the third week in September, amounted to $133,530, against $116,804 in the c orresponding period of last year, showing an in crease of $16,726. The Sir John Lawrence has left Sydney for this country with gold to the extent of £251,400. On the 6th August, at the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Victoria at Melbourne, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. was declared, leaving £ 1 9,961 to be carried forward. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce markets during the last few days there has been rather more animation. A fair amount of business has been entered into in the late arrivals of tea, and superior qualities have brought full rates. The operations i n sugar have been to a fair extent, and superior qualities of West India have, in several instances, sold at enhanced prices. Coffee has been in steady demand at late quotations, while for rice there has continued an active inquiry, and quotations are firm. Tallow has been in good demand at late quo tations for present and forward delivery. At the meeting of the Scottish National Insur ance Co-, at Edinburgh yesterday, the report of the directors was presented, which stated that 461 new li fe policies had been issued during the year, amounting to £386,355, and yielding in premiums £ 14 ,781. The balance sheet exhibits the funds to amount to £418,459, and a dividend was declared at the rate of 9 per cent. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have this sjettling ' sa y appointed Monday, 21st October, a special day in the New £5O Shares of the Lo n d on Joint Stock Bank to be marked. The report of the directors of the Rio do Janeiro _ k_aty Improvement Company has been issued, which states that the amount of capital required beyond th e guaranteed £850,000 will be about £lOO,OOO. Of this sum £25,000 will be needed to enable the com pany to execute the private extra works which are from time to time placed in their hands. Under these c i rcumstances it has been resolved to create £GO,OOO 6 per cent. debentures, redeemable at par by annual d raw i ngs i n s i xteen years, to b e offered t 0 the existing shareholders at the price of 85. At this rate they will yield £7 Is. 2d. per cent., irre spective of the ad van t age o f repaymen t a t par. -Beyond the £25,300 of working capital no addi tional resources would have been required but for the delays that have occurred in obtaining the sites for the outlet works, and from a storm which car rie away the foundations of one of those works during construction. At a meeting of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Railway Company, held in Melbourne on the 6th August, a dividend of £1 15s. per share 'was declared for the half-year ending 30th June, 1867, being at the rate of £7 per cent. per annum. The dividend at the current rate of exchange (1 1-3 per cent.) is now payable to the shareholders whose names are on the London register, at the Colonial Bank of Australasia, in New Bread-street, on the production of their certificates of shares.

The amount divided between the two companies was £6,000, tho Port Phillip Company's proportion of which is £3,900. The amount paid off water supply account was £BOO, leaving a balance in hand of £42 13s. 11d. to be carried forward to next account. Four Weeks' Return for August.—Quantity of quartz crushed 4,938 tons, yielding 1,9500 z. 8 dwts. of gold, or an average of 7 dwts. 21 grs. per ton. Mines.—All the underground work is going on very well, the sinking the north shaft progresses favourably, the ground continuing easy. The total depth from the surface is now 600 feet, and 93 foot below the No. 6 Plat. The only method of ascertaining the value of the quartz is by sampling the mineral as it comes from the drives and wiuges, and this is being continued, ono 12-head battery being kept almost entirely on this work. I don't think we need fear any deficiency in the supply of quartz. We are doing our best to open out the lower workings to a greater extent than the upper levels are being exhausted. Water Supply.—The Birch's crook plant, I am happy to say, continues to work most satisfactorily, and supplies us with an abundance of clear water. The board will by this time bo relieved of all anxiety in respect to the repayment of the advance to the bank. Thu debt now amounts to £2,000, the sum of £2,84.0 having already been repaid out of profits, and that without unduly interfering with the dividend account.

The slight shocks of earthquake which were re cently felt at Malta appear to have come from the direction of Crete. Letters from Canea of the 23d of September state that the first shock was felt on the afternoon of the 19th of September, at about half-past 5, and was but slight. On the following day, the 20th, at 5.15 a.m., however, a very severe earthquake shook the town, causing more or less damage to nearly all the buildings. The oscillations were horizontal, and lasted ten seconds. Two lives only were lost, a sentry and a sick soldier having been killed by the falling of one of the old Venetian Galley arches. The second shock was followed at 6 a.m. by a series of violent effluxes and influxes of the sea at intervals of 15 minutes, which effected much damage to the merchant shipping, several of the smaller craft parting their cables and coming into collision. The morning was still and sultry. The thermometer at 6 a.m. rose from 66 deg. to 86 deg. ; the temperature of the sea water from 75 deg. to 85 deg. and 87 deg. The sea rose and fell sft. in 10 minutes. Owing to the acids evolved and held in solution by the sea water, the copper sheathing of the ships in port was cleaned and rendered quite bright by the galvanic action. During the day most of the inhabitants, including Omer Pasha and staff, encamped outside the town. The hospitals have been cleared, and the sick housed under can vas. The earthquake having come from the east ward, it was expected the town of Candia would have suffered, as in 1856. A steamer was de spatched to that place, but it was found to have suffered comparatively little. The efflux and in flux of the sea continued till midnight of the 20th, gradually diminishing both in force and in rise and fall.—Malta limes, Oct. 3. A ZOOLOGICAL CARGO.—Yesterday a strange cargo arrived at Liverpool from Hamburg. It consisted of the largest elephant in Europe, weighing ten tons ; two fine dromedaries, a gorilla, a cub lion, and other zoological specimens. Tho whole lot was valued at £7,000.

BOW-STREET. TIIE GREAT PRIZE Mace, his brother, and cousin, were brought before Sir Thos. Henry, this morning, in custody of Inspector Sil vester and several officers, charged with being about to commit a breach of the peace. Inspector Silvester stated from information he had received he proceeded last night, with several officers, to Herne-hill, and went to a house close to the railway station. He knocked at the door, which was partly opened by a woman, and he asked if Mr. Mace was in, when the door was attempted to be closed in his face. He pushed by the female, and proceeded up stairs, followed by four other officers. He entered the room and there found Mace in bed, apparently mleep. He spoke to Mace, the other two prisoners were partly undressed, and had a candle alight. The candle was put out, and the room became totally dark. Mace got out of bed and a general struggle ensued, the other prisoners taking up the chairs, Mace seizing the washing-basin. 'Witness and Mace fell together. Ultimately they were over powered, handcuffs were put on them, Mace's brother behaving in the most violent man ner. They were ultimately put into a cab and conveyed to the railway station, and from thence brought to the Marlborough-mews Police station. When at the station Jem Mace swore the - fight should come off ; that he could find bail for any amount; and that he did not care for any of the -- magistrates, as he knew what they could do. The other two prisoners threatened witness, telling him he would have his head knocked off before he had been much longer in the force. Mr. Lewis asked the witness if he had not 100 navvies to assist him. Witness said no : he had about eight or nine officers with him. Sir Thomas Henry then asked Mr. Lewis whether he considered that any further examination was necessary, without he was prepared to show that no fight was going to take place, and that Mace was not going to commit a breach of the peace. Mr. Lewis said that he was not in a position to contradict that. Police-constable, No. 5 C, was then called to corroborate the above evidence. He said he pro ceeded to the Ludgate-hill station this morning, and after great trouble obtained a ticket for the special train which was to start this morning for the fight. He did not know the locality selected for the fight, as it was not stated on the ticket. There were a great many persons going, and alto gether a scene of groat confusion presented itself. The clothes of some of the people were literally torn to tatters in the struggle to get off. Ho did not accompany the party, but the train went out of the station at the appointed time. Inspector Hamment said he had another witness to call. Sir F. Henry asked what it was to prove. It was already clearly established that a breach of the peace was about to take place, which was quite suffi cient for the purpose of holding the defendants to bail. Inspector Hamment said it was merely to give further evidence to the point already proved. Mr. Lewis said he hoped the worthy magistrate would. allow him to say on the part of Jem Mace that he was not at all a party to the proceedings of the police—that he was not acting in connivance with them, as it has been hinted on other occasions that he in some measure had done so. Sir T. Henry said there was not the slightest hint of such a thing. No one even suggested such a circumstance. Inspector llamment hoped that, in addition to bail, the magistrate would call for sureties on the part of Mace, otherwise he feared the fight would come off. Sir T. Henry—What is the amount of the stakes? Inspector Hammond-1200 aside. The tickets for the fight were £2 and £3 a-piece, and altogether a large sum of money was drawn together by such proceedings as a prize fight. Without sureties he felt certain the fight would take place. Sir T. llenry—l hope such will not be the case. It is altogether idle for you, Mace, to think you can act in defiance of the law. Under the circumstances I think I must call upon you to enter into your own resognisances for £5OO, and to find two sureties in £250 each to keep the peace for twelvemonths. Mr. Lewis—That is in fact to condemn Mace to imprisonment for that time. it is impossible he can find such bail. He has not a friend in the world. Inspector Hamment said the men were in fact in the hands of their backers, and he believed the bail could be procured. Mr. Lewis said it was utterly impossible to get bail to such a large amount. Sir Thomas Henry—l have no guarantee, if I fixed lower bail, that the fight will not come off. What do you say, Mace ? Mace—Well, I'll not fight, after what has been said here. Mr. Lewis—l do hops, Sir Thomas, you will fix the bail at a sum within the reach of Mace. Sir T. Henry—What is Mace ? I don't know anything about him. Mr. Lewis—Well, he is not at present in business. Sir T. Henry—Well, I shall call upon Mace to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of £5OO, and to find two securities in £l5O, that he will keep the peace for the next twelve months to come. The other men to enter into their own re cognisances in the sum of £lOO, and to find two sureties each in the sum of £5O. Mr. Lewis—l don't think Mace will be able to find the sureties you, sir, have decided upon. Sir T. Ilenry--Well, that must be seen. I have power to reduce the amount if I think fit. The defendants were then removed from the bar. MARKETS.---This day. HAT. SMITHFIELD—Meadow hay, £2 15s Od to £4 ss; clover, £3 Os to £5 lOs Od; and straw, £1 Ms to £2 2s per load. Trade quiet.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY). The prisoner John Groves was to-day again placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged with being concerned in the murder of Edwin Wllonnell. The crowd both outside and within the court was much greater than on the last examination. Groves was brought from the House of Detention in the prison van early this morning to the police-court, it being strongly guarded by mounted police. Mr. Sleigh said he should, with the magistrate's permis ion, reserve his cross-examination of Inspec.; for Thompson until after that of Mrs. Jenman. Mr. Poland said fresh matter with respect to this charge was constantly springing up, and since be had been in court he bad heard of a witness who would speak to Groves being in the neighbourhood of Bloomsbury-square at a quarter before 12 on the night of the murder. That person would be called before the court, and he also proposed to call for examination a hairdresser who sold a beard of the description of the one worn by the man who fired the shot, and that person had seen Groves, and believed him to be the purchaser. Mrs. Jeuman's examina tion be should postpone until a future occasion, as sufficient timo had not yet elapsed to make full inquiries relative to the very extraordinary evidence she had given yesterday before the Coroner. Mr. Sleigh objected to such a course. He thought it was only right to Groves that the woman should be at once examined, in order that there should be no time allowed to make alterations and corrections in her statement. The evidence was now fresh in his mind, and he was prepared to show at least four or five discrepancies in that woman's statement. It would be of the greatest importance to Groves that the woman should be at once examined. Mr. Vaughan thought the Crown had a right to conduct the prosecution in the way they thought best. George Cox was then called, he said—l live at 23, George-street, Foley-street, and on the 27th September I was in the neighbourhood of Blooms bury-square. I was across the road near Hart-street. I saw two men there, and I ;am able to say that the prisoner is the shortest of the two men I saw. The other man stood 5f t. 10in. They were both reading a paper under a lamp. I identified the prisoner this morning from out of 25 men. I was able to fix the time as I had just left a public home with my friend. I gave information of the circumstance to Superintendent Searle on the night the attack on the Foundling Hospital was expected. I am quite sure that I saw the prisoner on the night the murder was committed. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh-1 work at 198, Holloway-road, and for the last five yea I have had about five situations. I was returning on the night in question from a visit to my uncle at Clerken well, and I went to a public-house after that, but I don't know the sign of the house. I met my uncle at this public-house, but I cannot say frequently. Mr. Vaughan did not think it was relevant to the case to inquire of the witness how many times the witness had been to a certain public-house. Mr. Sleigh said it was important he should pro ceed with the questions. Cross-examination continued—l heard of the murder on the Saturday, and it was the Friday following I went to see Superintendent Searle. My statement was taken down by the officer ; it was read over to me, but I did not say it was not per fect. I read of the murder in the newspapers ou the Sunday following the murder. lam quite cer tain that statement I read was in the Sunday paper. It was not an examination before the magistrate, but it merely stated a man had been shot. I then said to my mother, "I believe I saw the two men that shot 11I'Donnell." I don't know the name of the person who first told me of the murder. I know a reward has been offered, but I had seen Super tendent Searle before I knew that.. I didn't know the amount of the reward; but I saw the bill offering £lOO. Mr. Sleigh—Which of these two statements is correct ? Witness—Both. When I first went to the police station I knew nothing about it, but as I was waiting to see Superintendent Searle I saw the bill. I have been a witness before in other cases. Pro bably five or six times, or may be more. On my own account, and assisting the police as well. Air. Sleigh—Assisting the police ! Well, I shan't ask you any more questions. Re-examined by Mr. Poland—l cannot say posi tively whether or not the men had beards. I think the prisoner had whiskers, but I was a casual passer by, and only saw his side face, and picked the pri soner out from amongst about five and twenty persons. Mr. James Jennings —I am a hairdresser, and keep a shop at 25, Titchborne-street, Haymarket. I recollect selling a false beard and moustache be tween the 16th and 24th of September. It was what was called an entire beard. It was a lighti6h brown. I did not give information of the fact, but the police called upon me last week. 1 have been to the House of Detention, and, after seeing a num ber of persons, I fancied the prisoner was the person to whom I had sold the beard, but I should not like to be certain. I passed the prisoner's cell before I said that 1 fancied the prisoner was the man. My memory is very treacherous as to facts. I should be very sorry to say the prisoner was the man. Mr. Vaughan—Have you a belief that the priso ner is the man to whom you sold the beard ? Witness—l fancy him to be so, but I picked him out from about five and twenty persons. Mr. Poland—l must ask you again do you believe the prisoner to be the man to whom you sold the beard ? Witness—l cannot say further than that I fancy he prisoner to be the man. I cannot say positively 'urther than that. Mr. Vaughan--What made you fancy the prisoner ? Witness—From the similar colour of his hair and moustache—the general appearance of the man. I dressed the beard on the man's face, and after he had gone I made some observations to my assist ants that it was a very strange thing for a person to wear a beard in the daytime. I therefore thought the beard was wanted for purposes of disguise. I was quite close to the man's face when I fitted ou the beard. I have not seen an advertisement re specting the beard. Mr. Sleigh—You cannot say as fact, one way or the other, whether the prisoner is the man ? Witness—No, I cannot. It was merely out of feeling for the prisoner that I passed his cell door before I said I believed him to be the man. Henry Stephens—l live at 47, Seckford-street, Clerkenweil. On Saturday morning, the 28th of September, about one o'clock, .I was standi ng a t th e corner of Orange-street and Klllgsgato-street, oppo site Vernon-place. I had just left some friends, and was crossing Kingsgatc-street, when my attentio n was arrested by a report of fire arms. I ran in the direction of the sound and I went 011 until I caught Furber as I thought. He was runningtowards me. I ran up to Furber and seized him. This was in Vernon-place. I asked him what was the matter, and he asked for a policeman as his friend had been shot. I let go my hold and I went on down Southampton-row, and then towards Bloomsbury square, where I met 111‘Donnell, who was running towards me. He staggered, and I caught him in my arms. 11'llonnell toll me to take his hand kerchief to stop the blood and then go for a doctor. I afterwards saw M‘Donnell taken away in a cab. I did not see any person running before I caught hold of Furber ; be was the first person I met running in an opposite direction. The other witnesses not being in attendance, Mr. Poland applied for an adjournment. Mr. Vaughan thought it only fair to the prisoner that his counsel should, under the circumstances, now have an opportunity of putting some questions to the woman Jenman. Hr. Poland said the witnesses he proposed to call did not carry the case against the prisoner further, and as it was thought desirable that Mr. Sleigh should cross-exa wiao the Tram§ Jearov i h@ wottld occ9rdiPgly oil law. The witness Ann Maria Jenman then entered the wit ness-box, and repeated with great exactness the evidence she gave yesterday before Dr. Lankester, the coroner, and which appeared at full length in our first edition yester day. Having stated the matters she knew in connection with the case, sho referred to the two letters she had written on the subject, and also gave her evidence again in detail with respect to her identification of the prisoner. She stated to-day that a number of cell doors were opened, with them that occupied by the prisoner Groves. After sho had passed the cell of the prisoner two more doors were opened, and thee the officer of the prison asked if she had seen any person she knew. She replied, "Yes," and then Inspector Thompson was sent for, and, pointing to Groves, she said, " That's the man I saw with the beard on." On the present occasion she added—" I am quite prepared to take my oath that he is the man." Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l was married at South sea five years ago. My husband was then a journeyman butcher. After leaving Southsea wo went to Chiches!or, where wo remained about 18 months. My husband ikon came to London, and I eventually followed him. lam now quite prepared to swear my husband has not bad ten situations since his marriage. I have not spoken to any person on the subject of my evidence except going t, the Treasury, whore I gave my evidence to two gentle men. I have not refreshed my memory at all will' respect to my evidence. I will swear I did not read it whilst I was in the adjoining room of the court this morn• ing. It is true I was reading a paper, but I was reading about the Frenchman who was to be hung this morning. I cannot say the name of the first publichouse we went into after leaving the Amphitheatre, and I cannot say how far it is from the theatre. The publichouses we went into were towards the City, but our home was towards the West-end. The first publichouso my husband wont into alone. Ho remained thero about ten minutes, and then we both wont into another publichouso, and stayed about 10 minutes. You may say it was quarrelling if you like, but I don't think having a few words would be quarrelling. My husband left me standing at the side of the road. It was about half-past 11 when we left the Amphitheatre. lam quite certain. I did not say yester day that I saw the young men come out of the Bull and Anchor at one o'clock ; it was about 20 minutes to one. I can't say that it took us 20 minutes to walk to the Turk's Head. I had no watch. It might be more, or it might be less. Mr. Sleigh—Did you not say yesterday at the Coroner's inquest-- Mr. Vaughan—That is a very inconvenient way to cross-examine the witness. I know nothing of what took place there from what has occurred here to-day. You had bettor confine your examination to the evidonco the wit floss has given here. Mr. Sleigh would adopt that course. The cross-examination of witness was then continued. She said—l am quite sure it was half-past twelve when my husband left me in the first instance. I cannot swear how long I was waiting about outside the Bull and Anchor. It might have been 10 minutes. lam quite prepared to swear that I heard Groves make the observation that he would shoot some person. I did not hear the other person make any reply, although I was about a yard off. When I got to the Turk's Head I saw some people having a few words. I did not think it was my duty on the Friday night to tell any per son that one of the men whom I ;saw go into the Turk's Head public-house wearing a false beard was going to shoot somebody. I might have said yester day that the two men and the three men came out of the same compartment, because I did not know there were two compartments in the publichouse. It is possible under such circumstances that I might have made a mistake about the door. I have not had my attention called to the discrepancy between my evidence and the Guardsmen as to the door the men came out. I don't even know now there are two doors to the house. I am quite sure, however, that the whole of the five came out of one door. The cabs drove off as the five men walked away. I deny that I was loitering about the Turk's Head. I went up there to see if my husband was about ; but my chief object in going there was to see whether the man whom I had heard threatening to shoot some person carried his inten tion into effect. Notwithstanding all this it did not enter into my mind to make known what was about to take place, neither did it occur to me, after I bad heard the pistol shot, to say to any person I thought somebody had been shot. I deny that I told you yesterday that I did not go out much after the murder because I wished to keep myself quiet.. I always keep myself quiet. I now say again I do not go out much, and I still say I keep myself quiet. I have been out with the police for four days in search for the other men. I don't deny that, but that was last week. What you aro speaking of relates to the week before that. I never said that I read the first account of the inquest in Lloyd's newspaper of last Sunday week. I road something about the Lieutenant, 1 know, on that day. I wrote to Mr. Thompson and signed the letter "Harriet Williams," and my reason for doing so was to give information with respect to the dark man. I did not tell Mr. Thompson anything about the murder. I said nothing to him about the fair man. I told him what I heard the dark man say at the top of Gaorge-street, near Grosvenor-square. My husband allowed me to say what I knew about the dark man, but he has forbidden me oven up to the present day to say all I know about the murder. I told Mr. Thompson that I wrote the letter signed " Har riet Williams" either on Saturday or Sunday. I was afraid, when I heard the dark man say ho was with groves when the murder was committed, to give him into custody. When I went to Scotland-yard I was acting under the direction of my husband, who strongly objected to my saying anything about the matt 'r. The , permission of my husband to speak about the matter, and to say what I have said, was obtained by the police. How I know that Groves' addrees was in Gilbert-street was that I hoard other people say so, and the reason I called the prisoner Groves before the Coroner was because I heard his companion on the night of the murder call him so. 1 could not see his face well after he put on the beard. I was asked by the officer of the prison whether I could identify him, and I said " Yes." I looked at two men after I looked at Groves. He asked me whether I could identify th• man with tho light beard, and I said yos, but I was not aware that I had picked out the right man they had got on the charge until I was at the inquest. I never saw a description of the prisoner in the papers before I gave the description I did of him. I don't know anything about a reward being offered iu this case. You told me the same thing yesterday at the in quest, but then I told you I knew nothing about it. Re-examined by Mr. Poland—l first told the police I was the writer of the letters signed " liarriet Williams" on Saturday last. I foundjout Scotland-yard by inquiring of the policemen. I was taken to Mr. Thompson's private house to give him a description of the dark man. I have burnt the letter with respect to my mother's death because I have boon compelled to leave my lodgings in consequence of giving information in this case. The person who wrote to me about my mother's death merely signed the letter "A Friend." I don't know who that person was. I have burned the letter, and I cannot tell who sent it me. All that I know about my mother's death is from that letter. I cannot say how long it is since I saw my mother; it is not 12 months. She was then living at Diss. Her name was Harriet Haley. I always directed my letters to Diss, near the railway station. Tho prisoner I consider the tallest of the two men who followed the other three on the night of the murder. I never have been in the Turk's Head public-house. Furber, Hitching, and Bowler were then called before the witness to ascertain whether she could identify either of them, but sho said sho could not. Re-examination continued—l first saw the throo gentlemen (\I•Donnoll and his companions) coming from the direction of the Bull and Anchor, and then they turned into Southampton-row. By Mr. Vaughan—l came from my husband's friends at Chichester, when 1 last arrived in London. There was a good light from the public-house when I first saw Groves. lie was drossed in dark clothes, and ho worn one of the new fashion Paris hats. I don't think the prisoner wore an overcoat. I can only say he work dark clothes. I saw a good many people comp out of the public-house before the three young men went in. They then came out, having stopped but a short Limo, and then the two men I have mentioned next left the house, and proceeded after the three up Southampton-ro w. I never saw anything in the hand of either of the two men. The examination of the witness having concluded, Mr. Sleigh applied for the admission of the prisoner to bail on the ground of the great discrepancy of the ovidenee of Jonman and Bowler. Mr. Vaugkan positively refused such a request. Tho prisoner was again remanded. COURSE OF EXCHANGE.—This Eveping.

This morning Alfred Wiggins was executed at Newgate in the presence of a large concourse of persons, for the murder of Agnes Oakes. The prisoner, since his condemnation, has continually protested his innocence, and has been considerably buoyed up by the prospect of a ro prieve, the exertions to obtain which had been in- judiciously communicated to him by his relatives. On the announcement this morning by the sheriffs that the sentence would be carried out the prisoner exhibited great prostration, earnestly imploring those around to have mercy on him. When he found these petitions unavailing he fainted away. lie was recovered by stimulants, and in a state of semi-unconsciousness was conveyed to the drop by five warders, attended by the chaplain. In this painful condition the necessary operations were gone through, the drop fell, and he ceased, after some severe struggling, to exist, protesting his innocence to the last. The crowd, which was a large one, was orderly, but on the termination of this unhappy scene, its morbid appetite seemed still unappeased, for the cry was "Now for the other one." The body, after hanging the usual time, was cut down, and buried within the precincts of the gaol. THE EXECUTION OF BORDIER. This morning at ten o'clock, in front of Horse monger-lane Gaol, Louis Bordier, who it will be recollected was condemned to death at the last sittings of the Central Criminal Court, for the murder of the woman with whom he had cohabited for many years, underwent the last penalty of the law. Since the date of his condemnation, no steps have been taken to procure a mitigation of his sentence, nor did the unhappy man himself appear at all interested in the event, but maintained du ring the period of his confinement a stoical indiffe rence, combined with perfect resignation, great gentleness of demeanour, and a scrupulous atten tion to his religious duties. In this latter respect he was greatly assisted by the untiring and pious exertions of a Roman Cotholic clergyman, attached to the diocese of Southwark. On Friday he took a last farewell of his children, and although deeply and painfully affected on that occasion, he soon recovered his accustomed placidity. This morning the Under Sheriffs for the county, accompanied by the Governor of the Gaol, an nounced to him that the time had nearly arrived for the expiation of his crime. He received them resignedly and cheerfully, and remained for a con siderable period afterwards in religious exercise with his spiritual adviser. He was then conducted from his cell to the pinioning-room, where, after having shaken hands with the Under Sheriffs, the Governor, and others, and thanking them for their kindness to him during his incarceration, he sub mitted quietly to be pinioned. The mournful pro cession then moved towards the drop, the burial service being solemnly read as they proceeded. Bordier stepped lightly up on it, and took his posi tion under the fatal beam, bowing, at the same time, twice to the hushed crowd beneath and around him. He remained for a few minutes con versing with the priest, and during that time his face was uncovered and exhibited the utmost sere nity, a smile almost hovering about his lips. The cap having been adjusted, in a few more seconds the drop fell and Bordier ceased to exist. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. &astral& Mid New Zealand, via soathamptos.....oot , 20.
