BIOirEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCIC TWELVE o'CLocic. The demand for accommodation in the general discount market has continued very inactive, and, owing to the plethora of capital in the hands of the brokers and others, there is no change to report in the rates current, which remain at about 1 1 per cent. The Hansa, from New York, has arrived with specie representing £40,680, and the City of Baltimore with £3,560. The sum of £24,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Government broker made a purchase yester dty of £21,000 Reduced Annuities at 92-1 for the sinking B in d . The directors of the lonian Bank have resolved to declare a dividend for the half year ended the 30th June of 3 per cent., with a bonus of 2 per cent., being at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum. The report of the Mauritius Laud Credit and A gency Company (Limited), to be presented on the 27th inst., shows an available total of £2,579, and r ecommends a dividend of 2s. per share, making, With the distribution in March, a total of 10 per cent, for the year. This will absorb £1,250, and after appropriating £1,200 to preliminary expenses a balance of £129 will remain to be carried for ward. In the course of next year another £2 per share is intended to be called up. Two o'CLocic.

HEARTLESS ROBBERY OF A PURSE. —Henry Ebbage, an , evil -looking lad of about eighteen years of ago, was charged before the Lord Mayor with stealing a purse containing two half sovereigns and 20. from the pocket of Mary Jane Stewart. It appeared that tho prosecutrix had just loft her situa tion, 9, Charles-place, Love-lane, and was proceeding along Leadenhall-street, towards the Bank, where she intended to take an omnibus to her father's residence, 34, St. John's place, Heston, when she observed two persons quarrelling, and the gouger one, who was the daughter, knocked the elder one dOwn. She turned tolook at the latter, and felt some one feeling her pocket. She saw the prisoner close by, and he endeavoured to make off, but R as followed and caught in Fishinghouse-alley. One half-sovereign and the coppers had fallen from the purse, and she found. them in her pocket. Tho purse could not be found. On the prisoner was a watch, which he said was his mother's, and ho gave his address as 16, Sword-street, Spitalfields, but that was an empty house. In defence prisoner began to whine, and said that he did take the purse, but that somebody had taken it from him. The Lord Mayor considered it a most heartless robbery, as prisoner must have seen that the prosecutrix was a servant by her dress. He sentenced him to three months' hard . labour. Prisoner —Can't I see my poor mother ? The Lord Mayor—Oh ! your poor mother does not want to see yen, you sneaking rascal. The prosecutrix received half a sovereign from the poor-box. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AWKWARD MlSTAKE.—Patrick Shaughnessy, a labouring man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a pair of boots, of the value of lls., from the shop of Mr. Aldons, pawnbroker, Berwick-street, Soho. Mr. Aldons said—Last night the prisoner came into my shop to pledge something, and I saw him take a pair of boots off the counter and walk away. I went after him and gave him into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he say anything when you charged him ? - - Witness—At first ho said he had not got the boots, and afterwards ho said ho did not know he had them hi his basket. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was he sober ? Witness—lle was not. Prisoner—l took the boots up by mistake. I've got a good . character. Walter Weller, 66 C—The prisoner, who was very drunk, said he did not steal the boots. Sergeant Brady, acting inspector—!oa 'wiling the charge over the prisoner said he did not mean to steal the boots. The prisoner had with him a basket containing three pairs of old boots. The prisoner was very drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think it very likely the prisoner made a mistake, and I will discharge him. Tho boots will be given up to the prosecutor. WIFE. BEATING.—George Roberts, a gunmaker, living in Crown Court, Soho, was brought, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by Mr. O'Shaughnessy, ono of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting his wife, Caroline Roberts. The complainant said that on the previous morning, while in bed, the prisoner struck her on the side of the head. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the complainant whether the pri soner had ever assaulted her before. The complainant said he had several times during the last three months. All she wanted was to have him bound over not to assault her in the middle of the night. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to find two bail in £lO each to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. AN Inrsincor's LUNCHEON. —Fredorick Duswoll, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing 181bs. of salt beef from the West Indii Dock. _ _ Joseph Cleaver, a dock constable, met the prisoner last evening as he was leaving the West India Dock, and noticed that he had something concealed under his coat. He asked the prisoner what ho had there, to which he replied, "It is a small bit of beef for thy luncheon." Cleaver made him produce the "small tit of beef," which was wrapped up in a ixdoe bag, and weighed 181bs. Tho prisoner said the mate of a ship, or some one else on board ship in the dock, gage him the beef for his lunch. Mr. Benson—ls it ship beef ? Cleaver—Yes, sir, salt beef; and when I took it from the prisoner it had not long been out of a ship's harness cask. Mr. Benson asked the prisoner to give some account o his possession of the beef, to which the man answered that a man on board ship gave him the bog. Mr. Benson—What ship ? a-no rrisoner —1 don't know the name of the ship. Mr. Benson was of opinion the beef was stolen, and sen tenced the prisoner to-one month's hard labour. INGENIOUS SMUGGLING. --Auguste Koonig, a German, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with smuggling %lb. of foreign manufactured cigars. Mr. T. E. Mogg, an examining officer of customs, stated that on the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer Waterloo from Rotterdam this morning he was examining the passengers' luggage, and among others the luggage of the prisoner. There was not a cigar or any other article liable to duty among the prisoner's luggage, but the clothes he was wearing were lined with cigars. There was a false lining in tho back of the prisoner's coat filled with cigars, and his waistcoat and trousers were also covered with lining containing cigars. In all he took nibs. of cigars from the prisoner. The single value and duty amounted to £1 2s. 9d. Mr. Benson addressed the prisoner in the German lan guage, to which the prisoner replied in the same language that he was told before leaving Germany, that ho could take on shore in England as many cigars as he could carry about his person, but he was not to place any contraband goods among his luggage. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had been deceived if he had received any such intimation. Ile fined him .£1 2s. 9d., the single value and duty of the cigars. MARKETS. ---This day. - - - MARK LANE. Tho attendance at this morning's market was only mo , derate, and tho demand for all kinds of produco ruled in active. Fresh up from Essex and Kent, both coastwise and by rail, the arrivals of English wheat have been limited, but the quality of the samples was generally good. For both red and whito parcels the inquiry was very slow, but in all business concluded Monday's currencies were realised. There was an extensive show of foreign wheat, for which the demand was quite in retail at about that day's rates. Barley, owing to the small quantity on offer, was quite as dear. Floating cargoes of grain are in steady request at very fall prices. The melt trade continues quiet, without change in prices. Large supplies of oats continue to come to hand, and all sound corn sells steadily on previous terms. Beans and peas are very firm in price, but the transac tions passing are not numerous. No change has taken place in the value of either town or country made flour. \ Cakes are steady in value. Linseed and rapeseed are firm, but with only a moderato business doing. For agri cultural seeds there is very little inquiry. ARRIVALS THIS WEIDE. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

[HE SUN, LONDON, WFDNESDAY • EVENIN3, SEPTEMBER 25, 18a7. Extraordin.-ry Scene in a Coroner's Court. An inquest was held yesterday, at Tottenham, respecting the death of Mary Stevens, aged one year and eight months. Mrs. Caroline Jagger said the deceased was brought to her by a Mrs. Stevens. She was staying then with Mr. Raines, a solicitor. The child had been with witness about one year and font months. The mother has been to see the child twice. The last time she •saw it was about foul months ago. Witness received the money in post age stamps from Liverpool. She sent her receip to Mr. Raines. The register of deceased wa, riven to witness. Her name was Mary Stevens, registered at Liverpool one year and eight months ago. Witness did not know what her father awl mother were. She fed the deceased on bread. milk, raw eggs, and port wine. She ate raven ously and vomited a good deal. She had had no medicine. A doctor had seen her. 'Witness suckled the deceased for two months.—Mr. W. F. Watson, M.R.C.S. said that he saw the deceased or. Thursday. The body was very much emaciated. He had, by : he Coroner's order, made a post-mortem examination of the body. The stomach was healthy, but nearly empty. There was no trace of fat on the body. There was disease of the mesenteric glands. The child must have been badly fed. Witness was attending two other children at the house the day before the deceased's death, but he was not asked to see her.—Mr. Alick Chenery said that he was managing clerk to Mr. Raines, a solicitor. He became acquainted with Mrs. Jagger through an advertisement in the newspapers. He answered it. —Coroner : Where does Mrs. Stevens live ? Witness : I would rather not say.—Coroner: I have a public duty to perform. I have to fur nish the registrar with the names.—Witness : If I give the name there will be another inquest. The child is illegitimate, and the lady has told me that if her name is divulged she will not return home. You know my reason ; 1 know what will happen.— The Coroner : If the jury like they can let you write the name on paper, and it can be given to me only, and I shall not disclose it.—The Foreman objected to that.—Coroner : The child is illegi timate ?--Witness : Yes. Coroner : The father and mother are living ? Witness : Yes. Coroner : The name of the father ?—The wit ness remained silent.--Coroner : You can stand down for the present.—Mr. Williams (for Mrs. Jagger) : I shall be able to show by witnesses that the child was properly taken care of.—Coroner : The doctor proves that he was not called to see the child, although he was in the house at the time. This is the third inquest I have held on children dying at Mrs. Jagger's house. Call Mrs. Jagger.— The proceedings were interrupted by Mrs. Jagger screaming loudly. The Coroner said that he held in his hand a letter written by Mr. Chenery, asking Mrs. Jagger not to go to the registrar until the last moment. The day before the funeral would do.— Mrs. Jagger, who is a middle-aged woman, then entered the court.—Coroner : You said that you were introduced to Mr. Chenery by Mrs. Mallins. of Stonecutter-street. Is that true ?—Witness : No, sir.—Coroner : You made his acquaintance through an advertisement, did you not ? You ad vertise ?—Witness : Yes.—Coroner : Where was the child given to you?—Witness: At Mr. Chilton's, my baker's, at Hornsey.—Coroner . How came it that you took the child to the German Hospital? Wit ness : Because they understood children.—Coroner Why did you not take her to Dr. Niblett ? Was it not because he said " I have had enough of you, go to some one else ? Witness : No, sir.—Coroner : How many children have you had in three years? Was the number 60 ?—Witness : Oh, I do not know.—Coroner: Was it forty?—Witness: It might have been.—Coroner : How many doctoris have you had 2—Witness : I don't know.—Coroner : I have held inquests on two children, named Adams and Osborn, that died at your house, I think? Do not answer at once.— Witness : Yes, sir.—Coroner : Have you a copy of the advertisement that you put in the paper ? Did you not intimate that ladies would be taken care of during the birth of a child ? 'Witness : No, sir, I said, " Apartments furnished." —Coroner : Were ladies confined at your house ?—Witness : Yes. Oh, the poor baby! If I had only thought of this. I took care of it.— (The witness here burst into tears.)—Mrs. Osborn, who had occupied appartments at Mrs. Jagger's, and a charwoman who was occasionally in her employ, stated that so far as they had seen the child had been properly attended to. Mr. Jagger, the husband, was then examined. He said the advertisement which bad been referred to gene rally ran :—" Nurse Children.—Wanted, one or two nurse children, by a .respectable person : references." It ran Very short, but it sometimes said "Furnished apartments." The deceased was a delicate child. Mrs. Jagger was recalled, and asked, by the wish of the jury, how many children she had in her house at the present time. Witness : Six, and two little dears that I will never part with. They are two that must be taken care of.—Coro ner : Have you any up stairs that are never seen ? Witness (screaming) : Oh, God I Do not believe that of me. Oh, great God I (The witness became dreadfully convulsed, and, placing her hands upon her forehead, shrieked in a pierc ing manner...—Mr. Williams : Answer the ques tion.—Witness : I have not.—The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, decided not to require the name of the mother of the deceased child to be given, and the foreman said that they had found a verdict, " That the deceased died from disease of the glands, and the jurors say that Mrs. Jagger is highly censurable for not calling in a medical man to the deceased, and also for the man ner in which she has given her evidence before the Court." We have been requested to state that Mr. Raines, solicitor, merely acted as the solicitor of a young lady of wealth and position, she having come to him as her solicitor. Mr. Raines had been the solicitor to her family. She has intimated that if her name should be divulged, sooner than live to be " ruined for ever," she should commit suicide.

The following letter from Mr. Gladstone was read : "Ilawarden, Chester.—Dear Sir,—l am very sensible of the kind fooling which leads you, and those on whose be half you act, to desire my presence at the Reform banqu ; and I have much reason to be grateful to the working men of London, as well as indeed to the public generally, for their generous appreciation of efforts which have nothing to rocolmend them but their sincerity. I beg, however, to say that in all that yet remains unaccomplished I shall labour to complete the settlement of this groat question in the same spirit which has hitherto guided me. But I must bog to adhere to the intention announced in my former reply, and to express my hope that you will give me credit for having penned it after having given the best conside ration in my power to all the circumstances of the case.— I remain, dear sir, your faithful servant, W.

Senteace was deferred. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lush). . THE ALLEGED MURDER AT LINIEHOUSE. John Wiggins was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Agnes Oakes, aged 22. Mr. Puland, on the part of the Treasury, con ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. The learned counsel, in stating the charge against the prisoner, said the prisoner and deceased lived together as man and wife, at Temperance cottages, North-road, Limehouse. Unhappy dif ferences had existed between them for some time, until at length a quarrel took place between them in consequence of the pawning of a watch, belonging to the prisoner, by the deceased. On the morning of the 24th of July the deceased was found in the hou33 with a terrible gash in her throat svering all the arteries, and the allegation on the part of the prisoner vas that the deceased had attempted to cut the prisoner's throat, but fail- ing in that she had destroyed herself. There were some very peculiar circumstances connected with the finding of the body, the principal being that a chair had been placed in such a position over the head of the deceased that it appeared im possible that deceased could have placed it there herself after the wound had been inflicted, because such was the nature of the gash in her throat that the back of the spine had been injured. It was also questioned whether the death of the woman bad not taken place some time previous to that mentioned by the prisoner, and there were other circum stances in the statement made by the accused that led to his being committed by the examining magistrate for wilful murder. The prisoner listened with the greatest attention to the speech of the learned counsel, but when Mr. Poland was detailing the circumstances attending the finding of the body and the nature of the wound in the throat of the deceased he be came apparently agitated, and during the re mainder of the learned counsel's speech he took up a standing position, and shook his head in a negative or affirmative manner whenever an opinion was given to deny the statement he (pri soner) had made when he was examined before the coroner's inquest. One particular statement made by Mr. Poland seemed to produce a great impres sion in court ; it was that which referred to a hand kerchief the prisoner wore at the time he alleged the deceased cut his throat. The handkerchief was a very large one, and it had been folded to such an extent that there were at least fourteen or fifteen folds. This was cut almost com pletely through, and although blood of course would flow after the injury bad been inflicted on the prisoner's throat after the withdrawal of the knife, yet there was not the slightest trace of blood in any of the edges of the handkerchief. The great question the learned counsel left for the jury to decide was whether the deceased could have inflicted the injuries herself, and observed that Professor Taylor and other medical gentlemen were of opinion that it amounted to almost an impossibility that she could, because the knife must have been, in the first instance, plunged into the throat to inflict the injury to the spine. The first witness called was Rose Oakes, sister to the deceased. She said her sister was 22 years of age, and had been about three years in London. She had lived with the prisoner about six months. 'rho last time she saw her sister alive was a week before her death ; it was in • the apartment she and the prisoner occupied. They were quarrelling, during which her sister told the prisoner she would live with him no longer, and also that she had ob tained a situation, to which she intended to go. By the Judge—She was quite sure the prisoner must have heard her sister when she said she would leave him at the end of the ensuing week. Ann Wilshire said she knew the deceased Agne s Oakes very well. She was in the habit of seeing her every day ; indeed she saw her as late as 11 o'clock on the night previous to the discovery of the murder. She went into the prisoner's room in consequence of hearing deceased scream. On opening the door she saw the prisoner holding the deceased by her hair and kicking her. She pushed prisoner away from deceased, and told him he would be sorry to - morrow for what he had done. Deceased had been throwing the tea things at the prisoner, and even the teapot with hot water iu it. Cross-examined by Mi. Ribton—Was quite sure prisoner kicked deceased. She never saw deceased in a distressed state of mini ; on the contrary she was of a happy diAposition. Mrs. Truss, landlady of the Golden Lion public house, St. George's-in-the-East, spoke to an inter view she had had with Wiggins previous to the death of the deceased, when he said be was getting on very badly in consequence of the young woman with whom he was living not turning out as he expected. She had not been examined before, and as she had repeated the conversation she had had with Wiggins in front of her bar, she presumed the police became acquainted with the fact, and it was to that circumstance that she had been subpoenaed to attend the trial. James Burney, a pawnbroker's assistant, spoke to the pawning of the watch. Sarah Martini said she resided at Rhodesvvell road, Limehouse, situate on the opposite side of the canal to that on which Temperance-cottages are erected. On the morning of the day the deceased was found dead at about two o'clock she heard a female voice cry out, " You are murdering of me," and afterwards the cry of murder three or four times. Cross-examined —She had heard disturbances from the back of her house before, but then she had invariably heard both men and women's voices. On the occasion the was speaking of she only heard the voice of a woman. She had never before been awoke by cries of murder. She became aware of the time by hearing the church clock striking im mediately after. She also got out of bed, lit the candle, and looked at her watch, and then through the window. By the Judge—She did not see a light in either of the houses known as Temperance-cottages, nor any person about. Henry Tucker, police-constable 458 K, was on duty near the prisoner's house on the morning of the 24th of July. lie heard a cry of murder in the direction of the canal, near which the prisoner's house is situate. lie went towards the towing path, but on getting there ail was quiet. The church clock struck two just at the time. The voice was that of a female in great distress. He only heard the cry of murder once. He was sure the cry came from the direction of the prisoner's house. lie heard it but once. It was a long sustained cry. The clock struck two immediately after it died away. By the Judge—The night was a dark one, but it was very quiet. The neighbourhood in which the prisoner's house is situate is a very low one. Mrs. Eliza Long said she resided at 83, Lower North-street, very near the prisoner's house. On the morning of the 23d of July she heard a cry of " Murder" at 10 minutes to two. She was sure of the time, in consequence of her having to admi nister medicine to her husband at two o'clock. At 10 minutes to five the prisoner's father came into the passage of her house, and she heard him say Agnes was dead. She looked out of the window and saw the prisoner standing in front of his house with a crowd of persons round him. lie was dressed, and held his hand up to his neck. On dressing herself she went into the prisoner's house, and saw his mother. Her hands were full of blood, A Dire, Dunn ...--- washed the old lady' s h an d s. B efore she left the house the prisoner had been taken to the hospital. She had resided seventeen years in the neighbour hood, but never during that time heard the cry of murder. The deposition of the husband of the last wit ness was then put in and read, as he was unable to attend personally. It stated that he saw the pri soner's mother come out of 'the house with a knife in her hand. She called out murder two or three times. She had a gown on, not her night-dress. lie also saw the prisoner come out. He also was dressed. It was light enough for deponent to see that Mrs. Wiggins had a knife in her hand, but not to see whether there was blood upon it. William Dann said he saw the prisoner on the morning of the 24th July. The alarm of murder had been given. Se was holding his left hand up to his throat.. 'Witness asked what was the matter, when he replied, " She's cut toy throat and afterwards cut her own." When ho went into prisoner's room the deceased was lying partly on the hearth rug, and her head was tuwaris the wall but undcr a chair. Her head was about six or seven inches from the wall. The neck was resting on a pillow, but the head was so far back that he could not soo it until ho got up close to it. He afterwards saw a jacket taken from under the pillow. It was a windsor chair, and the middle rail of it rested on the deceased's chin. When he first wont in he saw the blood blubbering out of the wound. The deceased had only her chemise on. It was torn down the front, and a portion of it stained with blood. The chemise was torn down to within a foot of the bottom. The chemise worn by the 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 he bad spoken of, bo 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. Ho 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 chlir, 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, but 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. Ile had not heard any statements made by other witnesses about the chemise. lie 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 been 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 centre 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, iu order to show the jury the exact position in which it was when he first 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 made " with flaps" —that is, not open in front. When she assisted to move the body of tho 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. She was about 10 minutes after Wiggins calling oat murder that she felt the legs of the deceased and found them cold.l 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 tho murder was first given in the morning was about 10 minutes past five. Police-constable Bannister recollected the conversation he had with the prisoner on taking him to the hospital, during which he said "She has done this." Tho head of the de ceased, when he first saw it, was resting against the cross rail of the chair, or rather, he 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 putting back the handkerchief he had around his neck he 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 ho did not observe any cut on the handkerchief the prisoner had round his neck. Tito witness then de scribed the nature of the woual on the deceas , d's throat. It had severed all the arteries in the left silo 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 hersAf ? Witness—l think that a person inflicting such a wound must be ins 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, but only in a case of extreme excitement. Mr. Poland—ls it probable— Mr. Ribton—l object to a question put in such a form. The learned Judge said the witness had been asked about the possibility of such a wound being self-inflicted, and he had answered it. Mr. Poland—l will not press the point, but proceed to another part of the evidence. How long do you think ti•t life had been extinct when you first saw the body ? Witnem—Two hours or more. Mr. Itibton—Didn't you say one hour at the coroner's inquest ? Witness was 4sked by the, coroner if life might have been extinct one hour, and I replica yes, or more ;^ that, I believe, is what I said. Mr. Ribton— Is there not some difference of 0p..;„ in the medical profession with respect to the time that rigiat,„ of the body ensues after death ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Ribton—Was not the wound on the prisoner's throat a dangerous one ? Witness—Yes, if it was left 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 thero 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, member of the Royal College of Surgeons, said ho was on duty at the London Hospital when prisoner was brought in. Having described the wound on the prisoner's throat, he said he 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 odges 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 the wound in the person's neck. The prisoner could easily have inflicted the wound by his own hand sad he felt so disposed. In reply to Mr. Ribton, witness said he know 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 until to-morrow, and the jury were given in charge of the proper officer of the court, as the learned judge in formed them it was possible for them to separate until the case had been concluded. JOHN CROSS, THE DORSETSHIRE LABOURER, IN TILE BANKRUPTCY COURT.—This labourer, who ob tained notoriety some time ago by being sent to prison on the charge of stealing a hurdle, has been adjudicated bank rupt. From his examinaton before Mr. Registrar Rawlins on Friday last, at Wimborno County Court, it appeared that soon after the public subscription commenced Cross began, in anticipation of the money likely to come to him, to be freer in the purchase of food and clothing for his family, which at the rate of wages he had been earning had been of the scantiest kind. The person who served him with provisions was a Mr. Jacobs, grocer, of Poole, whose bill was something over £2O. The bankrupt stated that Mr. Onslow supplied him with money to discharge some previous liabilities, but afterwards sent the remainder of the money subscribed to the Daily Telegraph ; that it was subsequently sent back to Wimborne, and paid to the Rev. Messrs. Kemp and Plumptro and St. John Coventry, Esq.. and had been put in a Wimborne bank. When the muury was first sent down from the Daily Telegraph office, and before it was put iu the bank, ho (the bankrupt) asked Mr. Coventry for enough to pay for the provisions ho had had, but it was refused. Ile wished to have paid what he owed. lie had since been told that the money subscribed had been settled by a deed, but he had never seen the deed, and he bad never been asked whether he wished the money to be settled ; settling it was entirely against his will. He had that day ascertained that the money paid to the bank was £265, but did not knew before, and had never bad any account of the money. He was told that transferring it from London to Wimborne coat 46 18s. All he had received since the money had been sent to Wimborno was 18s. and £3 18s. 10d. another time. The £3 lbs. 10d., he understood, was a half-year's interest. Ha had boon told that the money was to be for hint for his life, and afterwards for his children. His delta were .£43 3s. 10d. He earned on an average Hs, a week. He had a large family. At the instance of Sir Roderick Murchison, the Government have resolved to send out a geographer, a geologist, and a naturalist, with the Abyssinian expedition. The Government, iu making their preparations fur this expedition, have also derived valuable assistance from the accumulated informal= of the Geographical, Society.— Pa NA OW% LATEST BETTING ON THE COURSE.
