Yesterday, at the Hammersmith Police Court, Thomas Humphrey was re-examined on the charge of absconding with a large sum of mouey belonging to his employers, Messrs. Fuller, Smith, and Turner, brewers, of Chiswick. Mr. G. Lewis conducted the prosecution; Mr. Martin defended the prisoner. Mr. H. Smith, one of the partners, stated that the prisoner had been in their service as collector for about three years. The money and cheques which he received in the course of his collection weekly were kept in a safe at the office, the key of which was under his sole charge, until each Friday, which was the regular day for banking in the Uuioi Bank of London, Argyle-place. On the 12th inst. he went to Barnet, in Essex, but he never returned to his duties, neither did he bank the money collected during the week on the following day. The total deficiency was £1,349 2s. 4d., which was exclusive of a sum of £llO odd, which he had embezzled. Witness next saw the prisoner at Banbury, in Oxfordshire, on the 19th init., when he gave him in charge of the superintendent of the constabulary. When the prisoner saw witness he started, and said "I was driven to it." Mr. Lewis then read a letter which ➢ir. Smith had received from the prisoner while he was in the House of Detention. It was to the effect that the act was a momentary one, which he never thought of com mitting until he found himself intoxicated and very late in returning home. The thought of being dis charged drove him to act so desperately. lie wished to make all amends in his power, and asked to be dealt with as leniently as possible. _ _ It appeared that the prisoner's whereabouts was discovered in a somewhat singular manner. On the 7th inst. he deposited the sum of £664 6s. 6d. at the Banbury branch of the London and County Bank, in the name of Thompson. This sum in cluded two of the cheques which had been stopped, and on their being sent up to the London branch they were at once detected, and information of their recovery was forwarded to Mr. Smith, who hastened to Banbury, and communicated with Mr. W. Thompson, the superintendent of the constabulary. The prisoner was found at the Town Hall Tavern, and on being taken into custody the sum of £1,393 3s. 2d., which included the deposit at the bank, was recovered. Mr. Lewis said the embezzlement had been going on from January last. Mr. George 1111Naughton, of the Red Lion, Chiswick ; Mr. R. Grigsby, of the Rose and Crown, Hammersmith ; and Mr. W. Warren, of the Cla rendon Arms, Broadway, proved three payments to the prisoner on account of the prosecutors, the payment in the case of the last-mentioned witness being on the 22d of January in the present year. That sum, together with the one paid by Mr. M'Naughton, had not been accounted for ; but in the other case he accounted for the receipt of £5O, though he had paid £6O. Mr. B. Dowsett, of the Waggon and Horses, Kew Bridge ; Mr. Thomas Hartley, of the Star and Garter, Kew Bridge; and Mr. Edward David Matthews, of the Coach and Horses, Turnham green, proved three other payments in the preent month, and which formed part of the money the prisoner ought to have banked. The depositions were then read over, when Mr. Daymau fully committed the prisoner for trial at the next Middlesex' Sessions on both charges — embezzling and stealing.

BIRMINGHAM AND TIIE BOUNDARY COMMISSION.- Lieutenant-Colonel Ward, R.E., and Mr. John L. Wharton have given not!co of their intention to visit Birmingham on Wednesday next for the purpose of inquiring into tho boundaries of the borough, with the view to ascertain whether the same should be enlarged so as to include within the limits of tho borough all premises which ought, due regard being had to situation and other local circum stances, to be included therein, for the purpose of con ferring upon the occupiers thereof the Parliamentary franchise for such borough. BOUNDARY COMMISSION.—The Manchester City Council, at a special meeting this morning, resolved that it is not expedient or desirable that the boundaries of the Parliamentary boundary of Manchester should be extended, and a deputatiiin was appointed to support this view before the assistant-commissioners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. AIANSION-lIOUSE. ROBBERIES AT THE CANNON-STREET STATION.—Amido Briffant, a ferocious-looking foreigner, was charged by the South-Eastern Railway Company with having stolen a bag from the waiting-room of the Cannon-street Station. It appeared that the bag was the property of Mr. Benthall, a draper residing at Farnham, iu Surrey. Mt. Benthall WAS sitting on the table with the bag beside him, when a gentleman told him that the prisoner had taken it up. lie followed him and said, "Why did you take my brig?" He replied, " I am a foreigner." Witness then called the detective ota:or attached to the station and gave him into custody. Sergeant Moss said that ho was called to take the pri soner into custody, and found him with the bag. lie t iok him to Bow-lane Police-station. Oa starching him he found a few dirty things up•an hi n. Ho had for a long time been hanging about the station, and was suspected by the witues-s who was a detective sergeant attached to the Oannon-street Station, of the numerous robberies which have taken place there lately, acd the personal ap pearance of the prisoner being peculiar he had been specially remarked. Mr. Lewis, the solicitor to the South-Eastern Railway Company, said he appeared to prosecute on behalf of that company, and as they must necessarily have many suspi cious characters amongst the number of persons travelling, and as they had reasons for suspecting the prisoner beyond others, he would ask the Lord Mayor to grant a remand. The prisoner, who professed no knowledge of English, said nothing--the evidence being communicated to him through one of the ushers, who acted as interpreter—was then remanded till Tuesday next.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A CHlLD.—Edward Robinson, a butcher, in business at Bath-street, City-road, was charged to-day before Alderman Bosley with running over a boy aged eight years, whose name was unknown, and who is at present lying in a helpless state in Bartholomew's Hos pital. 'lardy Payne said that he was a dealer in hay, and about ten o'clock this morning he was in West Smithfield Ile saw the defendant driving a cart at the rate of about four or five miles an hour. The boy was walking across the road, and when he came within a few feet of the horse's head he stumbled and fell down, and the offwheel of the cart passed over his bead. The prisoner endeavoured to pull up, but the road having been recently watered, the stones were very slippery. There was a boy in the cart with the prisoner, but they were not talking at the time the accident occurred. The magistrate said that the road was very wide, and the boy might have been some, yards off. A gentleman named Staff, in business in Bankside, said that he witnessed the accident, and the boy was lying down when the cart passed over him. The magistrate said that butchers wero proverbial for reckless driving. The magistrate said ho must:remand the prisoner for a few days, but would accept bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Ringo and Hugh Jones, two carmen in the employ of Messrs. Holland and Hannen, builders, of Duke-street, Bloomsbury, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of lead, the property of their employers, and Richard Garrett, a marine store dealer, of No. 12, New Compton-street, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Garrett. John Ellkin, foreman carman in the employ of Messrs. Holland and Hannan, said that having suspicions that lead was being taken from a job in Piccadilly, he yesterday evening followed the prisoners Ringo and Jones, who each had charge of a cart containing lead to take back to the ;ard in Duke-street. On their reaching Now Comp ton-street he saw the men stop their carts near Garrett's shop, and a piece of lead (produced) was taken into the shop by one of them. The men then went away with their carts, and he (witness) spoke to a constable (Cording, 154, A It), who went into Garrett's shop, and demanded the lead, which Garrett produced, stating that he had just purchased the lead of a man named *Jones. He after wards saw his employers, who 6ve the prisoners into custody. Alfred Cording, 154 A, said that on being spoken to by the last witness he wont into Garrett's shop and asked him if ho had purchased any lead, and he said he had,, and that he gave lls. for it, and produced the lead from behind the counter. He looked in Garrett's book, but there was no entry of the transaction, but subsequently there was one put in. Garrett afterwards said that ho purchased the lead of Rings, who gave the name of Jones. He took the prisoners to the station-house, and on searching Ringe and Jones he found on the former 4s. 4id., and on the latter 2s. 6d, but a part fall down the log of Riuge's trou sers while he was sitting in the yard, and could not be found. Ringo and Jones said when he took them into custody that they knew nothing about th 9 heal. Mr. Holland said the value of the lead Was about 19s. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate in Garrett's behalf urging that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to de. tain him, and stating that ho had at times rendered assist. ante to the police. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, but consented to take bail for Garrett. THAMES. A YOUNG T UMBLEIL—John Barlow, aged six years, was brought before M r . B enson, c h arg ed with throwing summersaults in the Com merc i a l- roa d, and begging of per sons riding on an omnibus. Henry Slingsby, a police constable, No. 394 K, said nu merous complaints had boon made of the tumbling boys in the Commercial-road, and many of them had boon arrested and punished. The practice was attended with danger to life and limb. The p r i soner was tum bling alongside om nibuses last night, and when ho made his last summer salt he lost his balan ce and nearly we nt under the wheel of a cart. The po or li ttle fellow was without shoes, stockings, and shirt, an d covered w ith filth la-t night. Ho took the boy to the workhouse, a nd ho was cleansed an d provided with clothing. He uders t o od that whatever the boy had earned by t um b ling he gave to his mother. Mr. Rolston, o ne o f the reliev i n g overseers of St. George-in-the-East, sa i d the mother received relief from the parish for hers e lf and children. Mr. Benson asked the boy, w h o was put on the solicitors' foible for his inspe c ti on, who taug ht him to tumble ? The prisoner replied -.Some big toys t au g ht me to throw somersets alongsid e th e b usses. Mr. Benson—Yo u w i ll be kille d if you continuo this dangerous pursuit. The mother was called, and said she got her living by needle-work. She had two other children to mlintain, and received three loaves a n d i s . 6d. weekly from the parish. Sometimes She earned ls. 6cl. per week, and at other times ls. 6d. per day, Sh e bad been three years a widow. Mr. Benson—l cannot allow on to send this boy into the street to tumble and beg money of omnibus passengers. You should send your boy to school. The mother said she could not afford to send the boy to school. Mr. Rolston said the family re ceived out-door relief on the express condition that the mother sent her children to school. There was an excellent scbcol, under the control of that excellent and zealous philanthropist, the Rev. Mr. M'Gill, of Christ Church, Watney-street, and ho would educate the children gratuitously. If the boy would go to school Mr. M'Gill would receive him, Mr. Benson lectured the ruotherof the boy for neglecting her child, and upon her promise that she would send him to school discharged him, MARKE TS.-..This day. -- METROPOLITAN OATTLE.

THE ALLEGED MURDER AT LIMEHOUSE. (Continued ;rem The Sun of yesterday.) William Dunn said lie saw the prisoner on the morning of the 24th July. The alarm of murder had been given. He was holding his left hand up to his throat. Witness asked what was the matter, when he replied, " She's cut my throat and afterwards cut her own." Whou ho want into ptisouer's room the deceased was lying partly on the hearth rug, and her head was towarls the wall but uud•-r a chair. IIe•r head was about six or seven inches from the wall. The neck was resting on a pillow, but the head was so far baek that he could not *see it until ho got up close to it. lie afterwards saw a jacket taken from under the pillow. It was a windsor chair, and the middle rail of it rested on the tke3ased's chin. When he first went in he saw tha blood blubbcring oat of the woun 1. The deceased had only her chemise on. It was torn down the front, an I a partiou of it stained with blood. The chemise was torn down to within a foot of tho bottom. The chemise worn by tho unfortunate woman was here produced, but it was torn to shreds, and on the witness being asked by the learned judge . to show the rent ho had spoken of, he said the chemise was so much torn now that ho could not with certainty say which was the front and which the back. Examination continued—He put his hand to deceased's heart, but found no pulsation. He looked up again and and then he saw prisoner with a dinner knife in his hand, he said "She's done it herself, and this is what she did it with." Witness then covered the body over with a sheet. Before leaving the room he saw some blood on the seat of the chair, partly covering a black apron. The blood on the knife was wet, but he could not say in what state the blood was about the room. There was no blood on the stairs when he left to fetch a constable. Cross-examined—Ho did not examine the body very minutely, bit he knew when he put his hand to the region of the heart, it did not beat. The front of the chemise where the tear was was covered with blood. It was torn in the front to within a foot of the bottom. Ho had not heard any statements made by other witnesses about the chemise. He said before the coroner the chemise was torn in front for about a foot, but he did not consider that his statement on the present occasion contradicted that. He was quite sure the chemise had bean torn open in the front when he first saw it. It had not been opened in the front in the making. He was quite sure the cantro cross rail of the chair rested on the chin of the deceased. At the request of Mr. Ribton the witness placed the chair over his head, in order to show the jury the exact position in which it was when he fast saw it. On re moving the chair he turned it up, and, pointing to the rail, said, "You see there's some hair upon the place that rested on her." Elizabeth Johnson gave similar evidence, but in addi tion said she was sure the chemise was mado " with flaps" —that is, not open in front. When she assisted to move the body of the deceased from the floor to the bed she ob served it was torn down the side aboUt a foot or so. When she felt the feet of the deceased they were quite cold. It was about 10 minutes after Wiggins calling out murder that she felt the legs of the deceased and found them cold. James Williams proved that it was about 10 minutes after the prisoner first called out murder and the arrival of the surgeon, and Thomas Allwood proved that the time the alarm of the murder was first given in the morning was about 10 minutes past five. Police-constable Bannister recollected the conversi ',ion he had with the prisoner on taking him to the hospital, :luring which be said "She has done this." The head of the de ceased, when he first saw it, was resting against the cross rail of the chair, or rather, ho should say, more properly under it. Dr. Horton said he arrived at the prisoner's residence in about half an hour after the alarm of murder had been raised. He saw the prisoner on his arrival, and puttiug back the handkerchief he had around his neck ho saw the wound on his throat. It was not a very deep one. He pressed the handkerchief against it, and proceeded up stairs to the room in which the deceased was lying. At this time he did not observe any cut on the handkerchief the prisoner had round his neck. The witness then de scribed the nature of the wound on the deceased's throat. It had severed all the arteries in the loft side of the neck and had injured the spine. Death must have been almost instantaneous. Mr. Poland—Do you think it possible that the deceased could have inflicted such a wound herself ? Witness —I think that a person inflicting such a wound must be in a state of frenzy or madness. Mr. Poland—ls it possible fur a person to inflict such a wound on his own person.? . Witness—lt is possible, sut only in a caso of extreme excitement. Mr. Poland —ls it probable— Mr. Ribton —I object to a question put in such a form. The learned Judge said the witness had been asked about the possibili7 of saes a wuuud Wiug sulf-inflicted, and he had answered it. Mr. Poland—l will not press the point, but proceed to another part of the evide'ncN low long do you think that life had been extinct when you first saw the body? Witness—Two hours or more. Mr. Ribtbn—Didu% you say ono hour at the coroner's inquest ? Witness —I was asked by the coroner if life might have been extinct one hour, and I replied "yes, or more;" that, I believe, is what I said. Mr. Ribton—ls there not some difference of opinion in the medical profession with respect to the time that rigidity of the body ensues after death ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Ribton—Was not the wound on the prisoner's throat a dangerous ono ? Witness—Yes, if it was loft unattended. Mr. Ribton—And death might have ensued if it had not been seen to ? Witness—Yes, of course. In answer to the learned judge, the witness further stated that there was nothing inconsistent when he saw the body, with the appearances of three or four hours after death. The force required to personally inflict such a wound as he had described would be such as only frenzy could impart. Mr. Dove, mAnber of the Royal College of Surgeons, sail he was on duty at the London Hospital when prisoner was brought in. Having described the wound on the prisoner's throat, he said ho had carefully examined the cut in the handkerchief the prisoner had worn round his neck. Ho found it had 16 folds in it, and, with the excep tion of the two first folds, the rest were quite free from blood. Had the cut been made in the handkerchief at the time the wound was inflicted on his throat, the edges must have been rendered bloody by the passing of the knife through it after the injury was caused. Blood would flow instantly the knife left the skin. The cut in the handker chief was some distance from that portion of it which had actually covered tha wound in the person's neck. The prisoner could easily have inflicted the wound by his own hand gad ho felt so disposed. In reply to Mr. Ribton, witness said he knew there were authentic cases on record where persons had moved about for some time after the interior carotid artery had been severed. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned. The trial of John Wiggins was resumed this morning. Mr. Horton, the surgeon who first attended and afterwards examined the body of deceased, was re called, and the following questions put to him by The learned Judge.—You examined the body. Did you discorer any bruises about it ? Witness—Only an old bruise under the arm. The Judge—Then we may take it that there were no marks of external violence about the body? Witness—Yes. Thu learned Judge—No marks at all to denote that she had fallen backwards ? Witness—None, my lord. The learned Judge—No indication of anything having come in violent contact with the head ? Witness---None, my lord. Edward Dillon, 19 K, said he was on duty at the station house when the prisoner was brought there on the 3d of August. The charge was read over to him, and be then made a statement, in which he said he was innocent of murdering the young woman, that he knew nothing about it. The statement made by the prisoner was a voluntary one. No questions were put to him, and he was cautioned before lie did so. Mr. Richards, the deputy. coroner, was examined as to the statement the prisoner made before him at his own request. Sergeant Brady said—When he charged the pri soner with the .wilful murder of Agues Oakes at the hospital, he replied "Just so." By Mr. Ribton—The prisoner was not in bed when ho went to the hospital to remove him to the station. lie received the clothes of the prisoner from the head nurse, and gave them to Professor Taylor. Professor Alfred Taylor said—l have been in court during the whole of the trial. I heard Mr. Horton's descripeion of the wound on deceased's throat, and I agree with him iu the opinion that a person in a state of frenzy or delirium might inflict such an injury. Mr. Poland -- Assuming that the deceased in flicted the wound herself, would the injury to the arteries or that to the spine be done first ?—The injury to the bone. The injury to tU spine could hot have been done after the vessels had been cut through The 'mud Judge—ln your judgment alter the wound had been inflicted would the deceased have had power of motion ?—Yes, to some extent. Mr. Poland—ln what period in your judgment, after such an injury, would death have followed?— In a very few minutes. You have heard Mr. Horton's description of the state of the body ; can you form any opinion how soon More Mr. Horton saw her should you say death had taken place ?—My belief is that she could not have been dead less than two hours ;, it might be five hours, considering the time of year and the condition of the health of the deceased. There is a great difference in the time a body takes to cool in the two cases of a person dying suddenly hi full health of body and one dying slowly. The Learned Judge—Does the losi of blood aff,:ct the cooling of the body ?—No, the loss of blood does not do so. The Learnel Judge—l Hieve that yo•i arul Dr. Wilks, of Guy's Hospital, have paid great attention to the time the body takes to cool ?—Yes, we have paid particular attention to it. • Mr. Poland—You have examined the handker chief the prisoner had about his neck, and the cut that appears through the folds; should you expect, if that had been made at the time the prisoner re ceived the cut on his throat, to find blood on the edges of the folds ?—Yes, supposing it was worn in the ordinary way. You have also examined the cut on the shirt ? Yes ; and I should have expected to find blood 011 the edges of the cut alsO. You have examined the prisoner's boots ?—Yes, I have. I found one or two drops of blood on the instep, showing that it had fallen there when the boot was not worn. There was also a spot of coagulated blood which had fallen just above the toe. There was none on the middle of the sole of the boot inside the boot, there was no appearance of blood, but on re moving the dirt from the leather, a very small par ticle was found—only enough to see that it was blood. I have examined both boots, there was only a small quantity of blood on either. There was a good deal of Wood in the stockings. That was probably owing to the prisoner being in his stockings. Cross-examined by ➢ir. Ribton—With respect to the time the body takes to cool, I have had many cases of violent death to found my experience on. Mr. Ribton then read a case from Dr. Taylor's book, in which death had not occurred until half an hour after the arteries had been severed, and asked the witness whether he adhered to the case still, as the book had been published in 1865 ? Professor Taylor—l adhere to that statement still. Every case has its special conditions. In the case you mentioned the windpipe was not severed. When such an injury is done the blood gushes into it, producing suffocation, and death is almost in stantaneous. By the learned Judge—Might not the first plunge of the knife have caused the injury to the spine?— Yes. The wound, then, could not be inflicted but by a person suffering under great excitement ?—By a person suffering from frenzy, delirium, or insanity. Mr. Ribton—ln cases of undoubted suicide have you not met with cases of very severe injuries ? Yes, but not.involving the spine and the vertebra. Dr. Willis—l have, with Dr. Taylor, paid parti cular attention to the time at which rigor mortis sets in, and having heard Mr. Horton's description of the wound on the throat of the deceased, and his description of the state of the body, I should think that death must have taken place at least from two to three hours previous to his seeing it. That would be rather under than over the mark. I cannot re collect a case in which rigidity set in under three hours. Mr. Poland—Do you think it possible that the deceased could have inflicted the wound on her throat with her own hand ? Witness—lt is barely possible. My reason for saying so is, that I have known such a case in a man, but never in a woman. Mr. Ribton—Thank you, sir. I shall ask you no further questions. Witi,ess•—llo you properly understand me ?. Mr. Ribton—Yes, I do. Mr. Scott having been called to speak to the cor rectness of the plan produced in court, Mr. Poland said that would conclude the case for the prosecution. The learned Judge said there was another witness who had not yet been examined. Mr. Poland said he did not intend to call her. Mr. Ribton thought the witness ought to be examined. Mr. Poland said, under the circumstances, he would at once call the witness. Fanny Wiggins said she was a relative of the prisoner. With respect to the condition of the chemise worn by the deceased she tore it in removing it from the body after death. By Mr. Ribton—She had never heard deceased threaten to destroy herself. Mr. Poland then summed up the evidence he had adduced on the part of the prosecution, and con tended he had fully made out the truth of the charge preferred against the prisoner; but if they were not of that opinion, and entertained any doubts on the matter, they would, of course, at onc3 give him the benefit of the doubt, and return a verdict of not guilty. At that part of the learned gentleman's remarks which alluded to the fact which had been established in evidence, that although the soles of the prisoner's stockings were saturated with blood, the inside of his boots which he had on when he first gave the alarm that his life had been at tempted by the deceased were nearly, if not entirely, free from marks of blood, the prisoner betrayed the greatest anxiety. And Mr. Poland I proceeded to remark that he could not but come to the conclusion that the deceased had been dead some time previous to that prisoner had stated, be cause, had he put his boots on at the time he 'said he did, the interior of them would have been very extensively marked with blood. The prisoner hastily exclaimed, " Beg pardon, may I make a few remarks." Mr. Ribton at once told his client to remain silent, and listen without making any fur ther appeals to the Court. The prisoner at once remained silent, but became evidently moved again when Mr. Poland referred to the fact that although the deceased's hands were found bloody both inside and out, yet the handle of the knife which the pri soner said he had found sticking in the wound was quite free from blood. At the conclusion of the summing up of Mr. Poland it was proposed to adjourn for refreshment, but— Mr. Ribton said he wished to be allowed at once to proceed to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and the learned Judge having assented, the learned counsel commenced and said—His firm impression was that the prosecution had started with the theory that the prisoner's statement was a sham, and that therefore they had decided upon calling every particle of evidence which would favour that view of the case, entirely throwing on one side any thing that could tend to dissipate the view of the transaction they had taken up. The learned counsel had not concluded his address when we went to press. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) THE FORGERIES ON TIIE BANK OF ENGLAND. Henry Hodgson, who yesterday pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging certain documents with a view of ddrau ling the Governor and company of the Bank of England, made a long statement, in which he stated that insanity had existed in his family for many years. The learned Judge remarked that there was nothing which could induce the belief that the pri soner was labouring under any delusion ; on the contrary, he had acted in a careful and clever man ner. Under all the circumstances of tho case he felt it his duty to sentence him to seven years' penal servitude. ANOTHER PLANET.—Professor Watson, of the Michigan University reports : —" On Friday night, Sept. 6, while observing the vicinity of the planet Neptune, I dis covered another planet hitherto'unlinown, the brilliancy of which is equal to that of a star of the eleventh magnitude.

NARROW ESCAPE AT ABERDARE.—On Monday a man named John Randall was engaged in opening a brick grave in the parish churchyard, for the reception of the corpse of the late Mrs. Morgan. In this grave lay the remains of her husband, and at his head was a grave stone. Sullenly this stone gave way, and fell into the grave iu which Randall was working. Fortunately ho was in a stooping pasture, and a pickaxe was placed in au upright position. Upon the handle of this instrument the stone alighted, and thus prevented the man from being crushed to death. Ile escaped with a few bruises. Tha stone is estimated to be upwards of five cwt. It covered nearly the whole of the grave, leaving only a narrow aper ture at the foot, through which the man escaped from his perilous position.
