MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL = tNTELLIGENON, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand on the general discount market has been rather more active, but the business entered into has led to no change of importance as regards the v,ates current, - which remain at 11 la per cent. O the Stock Exchange loans on Government Se curities for short dates are easily obtainable at about 1 per cent. Gold amounting to £121,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Bremen, from New York, has brought £ 26 ,370 ; the Hammonia, £4OO ; the City of Antwerp, £1,500 ; and the Athenian, from the West Coast of Africa, about £BlO. In re Hampstead Brewery Company (Limited) Alr. Edward Moore, the official liquid ttor, has for warded the following communication :.—" The chief clerk sitting at Chambers for the Vice-Chan cellor, Sir R. Malins, has authorised me (the second creditors having already been paid in full) to de clare a dividend of Bs. in the pound to the remaining creditors. An ad-interim dividend has been declared at the meeting held to-day of the Chartered Bank of India, China, and Australia at the rate of 5 per Cent. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 4-, to 24 25, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds are steady at 21 22. The Manchester markets are thus commented upon by Mes srs . Alex. Collis and Co., dated 15th instant :—" The market opened with mere spirit to day, mainly in consequence of the large sales of cotton reported from Liverpool, but as the day wore on producers found that buyers were unwilling to follow the advance in cotton, and at its close there is very little change to note from the quotations of last Tuesday. Telegrams from Bombay of 12th Inst. report lower prices, but a good demand for staples." llr. John George Bland, late with Messrs. Kemp, Cannon, Ford, and Co., has made arrange ments with the house of Messrs. Nicholson, Cory, and Co., public accountants, of Gresham-buildings, Guildhall. The following communication has been addressed b y the Committee of Greek Bondholders to the C ommittee of the Stock Exchange : Founder's Court, London, Oct. 14, 1867. Gentlemen,—l have the honour to inform you t hat this afternoon there has been signed a provi sional agreement between the Committee of Greek Bondholders of the Loans of 1824 and 1825 and ' lB Excelle ncy Si r P e t er B ra il e , Mi n i s t er Plenipo tentiary and Envoy Extraordinary, and Michael Npartali, Esq., Consul-General, the diplomatic representatives of the kingdom of Greece, subject to ratification by the bondholders at public meeting, a nd also b y th e L eg i s l a ti ve Chamber at Athens. , have further to acquaint you that the terms of the agreement fix the capital of the new debt at £1,000,000, carrying 5 per cent. per annum interest from 31st March, 1868, with an accumulative sinking fund of per cent. per an num. This will give in new stock (free of ex penses) for each old bond of £lOO, Red Greek ex- Coupons, £221 ss. of claims, £2B 9s. 4d. ; £lOO aloe Greek ex-Coupons, £2ll ss. of claims, £27 , 38 - 6 d.. £lOO Coupons, £l2 17s. 4d. The meeting has been summoned for Tuesday next, 22d inst., at o'clock p.m., at the London Tavern.--I beg to s ubscribe myself, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) EDWARD HASLEWOOD, chairman." With regard to the above announcement, if the pub lic meeting are of opinion that no better terms can be obtained from Greece, then they will accept the terms. It not a question whether the proprietor is much or little, but solely as to the ability of Greece to undertake to pay more and to be able to fulfil the new promise. Greece is the smallest king dom in Europe, with the least population, and the amount of taxes, £55,000, to be paid out of the country is perhaps as much as she can manage. Looking relatively to the foreign debts of South America who have been in default, Greece under takes to pay as much per head on her population as they have done. One thing is quite certain—the committee of bondholders would not have enter tained the proposition if they had seen their way to get anything better. This agreement will not only have to be ratified by the bondholders, but also by the Legislative Chamber in Athens ' • and those best acquainted with that country do not expect that it \y ill pass through that ordeal without great opposi tion, on the groun d th a t G reec e h a s made an offer beyond her means. A very satisfactory feature in this proposed conversion is that there is no money Payment required. It will be a great benefit to t hose who have permanently held the stock for years, as it will give them an income of £135 per annum for every £lO,OOO of the old stock, not now worth more than £1,300. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegrams this morning, t he French Rentes were 67f. 80f. Very flat, offered. Continued depression pervades the market for English Securities, and Consols are between / and per cent, lower, viz., at 931 for money and at 931 f or the 7th N ovember. The Continental news is actively promoting a" bear" account. There seems to be a general fear with regard to affairs abroad, and few, therefore, are disposed to speculate for an advance notwithstanding the abundance of money and other favourable considerations. Comments in the " house" have been made upon the announce- Inent that the armoury of the 12th North Volunteer Rifles had been attacked, and that rifles and 10,000 ball cartridges had been taken away. Con versation, exercising a depressing influence, has also been held with regard to the rising in the Papal States, and the extreme heaviness of the Paris and Other continental bourses. With regard to the fo reign department changes are taking place owing to speculative movements ; for example, several of the securities which have been lately depressed have been bought to realise profits, and have consequently advanced in price. Railway the recent ad vance s are flatter owing to , the " Bulls" having in many closed th e i r accounts.

A meeting has been held to-day of the various Indian banks with regard to the question of the four months' usance. The meeting consisted of the managers of the banks in London. It appeared that the National Bank of India is in the course of reconstruction, and will, in future, transact its business in London, and with a London board, the establishment in India being discontinued. This bank, under those circumstances, declined to enter into the ar rangement, and the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China, seeing no prospect of carrying out the negotiations, also withdrew ; consequently the matter has dropped for the present.

ALEX. COLLIE AND CO.'S MANCHESTER TELEGRAM. TUESDAY, Oct. 15, 1867. The market to-day has had some activity imparted to it by the largo business reported in cotton. Producers are asking au advance on late quotations, and weak holders aro less anxious about their stocks. Cheap lots have been bought up, but boyond this the actual business transacted to-day has not been large. Fair makes of 8i shirtings are still quoted at 9s. 9J. for November and Do comber delivery, and 40's yarn at is. per lb. THE SAYING OF A DEAD POET.—Uhland is, in the Athenaeum, recalled to mind by the phase which the coming German empire is beginning to assume, and the position of adverse parties with respect to it. Uhlandob jeoted alike to the exclusion of Austria and to the proposal to offer the Imperial Crown to Prussia. The poet favoured an elective monarchy, the Emperor so chosen to be in office during six years ! In any case he would have the popular voice potent in the matter. "No head," he remarked, " will shine in the eyes of Germany that is not animated with a good drop of the oil of democracy." THE GREAT COMPOSERS' OPINIONS OF ONE ANOTHER.-Haydn thought Mozart the first of musicians, and admired greatly Clementi's sonatas; that Mozart despised these sonatas, which, however, ho honoured by deigning to pilfer them ; that Beethoven had a real admi ration fqy IVeber's Freyschutz, while Weber, in the early part of his life, could only find interest in Beethoven's earlier compositions, and thought his later ones —among which, as ho wrote in 1810, ho included the Symphony in B flat and the Eroica—merely a confused chaos, an unin telligible struggle after novelty, illuminated with °ova eivnal gleams of gelliug and fancy. THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIN3, OCTOBER 16, tB6l'. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Register Murray.) IN RE T. W. S. MILES. This bankrupt was described as au officer in the 13th Hussars, now stationed at Toronto, Canada. A trade debtor summons had been taken out against the bankrupt upon a previous occasion, and upon that he had been adjudicated. No documents were filed, and after some formal proof the case stood over until a future day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. F. Gibbous.) FLATOW V. PIUNDELL. This was an action upon a guarantee, defendant, for whom Mr. Vaun appeared, having signed a written paper, under which he agreed to become security for a third person named Collier. Plaintiff's witness handed iu a book containing a printed form, and it was icceived by his Honour as evidence of the contract between the parties. When Mr. Vann saw the form in question he urged that the Court bad no power to deal with it, as it required a stamp, being in the form of an agreement. _ His Honour said that might have been so if the document had not reached the court, but he had seen it and could not now shut it out. Indeed the objection should have been taken by the registrar. Mr. Vann—l am quite willing to submit the question to the registrar. _ _ _ - His Honour—l am afraid it is too late to do this now. Mr. Vann—This is a most important question to a large number of persons, and I hope your Honour will give me an opportunity of going to Somerset-house. his honour—Certainly. I think the document ought to be stamped, and see no reason why the revenue should bo deprived of its money. The case was then referred to Somerset-house. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY.—Robert Anderson, described as a painter, but who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing from Mr. Bon Marin Le Micro, egg merchant, of No. 2, Tower street, St. Martin's-lane, a bowl containing a quan tity of copper money, and also with assaulting Police-constables Winters, 142 A R, and Winsor, 97 F ; and John Anderson, a tin plate worker, and brother of the first named prisoner, was charged with attempting to rescue him from the custody of the police. Mr. Le Miere, who gave his evidence through Mr. Albert, the interpreter, said—Yesterday afternoon I was in a publichouse having a glass of beer, my eye being on my shop opposite, when I saw the prisoner Robert enter my shop. I crossed over, and as I entered my shop the prisoner, who was coming out, met me, having in his hand a bowl containing a quantity of small money, which he had taken from the drawer under the counter. I seized him, and he resisted a good deal, but I gave him into custody. Patrick Winters, 142 A—l was called yesterday afternoon to the prosecutor's shop, and the prisoner Robert Anderson given into my custody for steal ing a bowl containing some money. Another constable, 97 F, came up, and directly we got out side the shop the prisoner said, " You will either have to carry me or take me in a cab !" and then threw 97 F, and afterwards kicked him several times saying, "You —, I will do for you," and became so violent that it took four con stables to convey him to the station, and I was kicked several times. The other prisoner, John, then came up, and said, " This is my brother," and caught hold of Robert, and refused to release his hold of him, and, some other constables coming up, he was also taken into custody. About a month ago the prisoner Robert was stopped by a trunk maker, whom he had attempted to rob of a port. manteau, but he was not prosecuted. Joseph Winsor, 97 F, after corroborating Winter, said—The prisoner, Robert, kicked me several times, saying he would " ruin and do for me." Barns, the gaoler, said Robert had been, he be lieved, previously convictel. Robert—l admit it-21 days. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner John 2s. 6d and remanded Robert for further inquiries. WESTMINSTER.. PARTICULARITY IN PAUPER COSTUME. —Two young men named Wilson and Parker were charged with destroying clothing in St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea. _ _ Charles Coombs, porter at the casual ward, said that the defendants were admitted there last night and received supper and lodging. This morning at a quarter before 6 he went to the ward and found them both in bed. lie had heard that they had torn up the whole of their clothing, and asked them why they had done so, when they replied that they did not like them, they were dirty. IVitness afterwards saw the fragments of their clothing. Witness went and informed the master, who sent them two new pair of canvass trousers, and they tore them up. Mr. Arnold —When was that? Witness—While I had gone to get them shirts. Mr. Arnold—Dia they ass i gn any reason for tearing them up ? _ Witness—Tliey said they did not fit ; they were too small. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this Wilson ? Wilson—My things were filthy. Mr. Arnold--What have you to say, Parker ? Parker—l've nothing to say. Mr. Arnold—Not content with destroying your own clothing, you wilfully tear up that belonging to the parish. Why tear up the trousers? Wilson—They did not fit ; they were too short. Mr. Arnold—That is no reason why they should be torn up. You are committed for one month for destroying your own clothing, and a second mouth for wilful damage to the parish clothing. Great Fire and Explosion. During the last 12 hours a fire has be. m raging in the well-known mansion termed Rod. an Lodge, Barking, the property of G. Brady, Esq. The fire commenced about midnight, and in a comp tratively brief space of time flames in huge bodies :shot out from nearly . so windows. The local engines were soon on the spot, but they were of little mie in ex tinguishing such a vast body of fire. In! ormation was therefore sent to London for aid, and speedily several land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., with a large number of the London Salvugc arrived on the spot. The flames were not entirely extinguishe.l at noon to-day. Fortunatel y a great many jewels, plate, and valuable documents were saved in ono of the patent Reliance fireproof safes. The loss will fall upon the Sun and PI ovincial lire offices. A terrific cx,losion, which it is fe trod will ter minate fatally, took place in the Three Mills Dis tillery, belonging to Messrs. Medealf and Co., Bromley-cross, near Bow. SHARE LlST—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share! Railways. , Briatol and Kxeter Caledonian ••••• • • Cambrian 1 Cork and Bandon ' Corn wall. ..

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 2M. 15c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of ,C 3 res. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-;oth per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon don. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1001 per cent. At this rate there is no profit_ on tho importation of gold from the United States. SHAKSPERE AND CAMOENS.—On the 9th inst. the inauguration of a statue to Camoens took place amidst great pomp at Lisbon. Compare the "Lusiad" of Camoens with the plays of Shakspere, in value, and then compare the gratitude of his countrymen with those of Shakspere's countrymen. Where is the Tercentenary statue of our great poet? "Where, by the way, the £l,BOO subscribed by the members of the committee, so unfairly overthrown ?

KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED. --Henry Hares, or Ayres, a man about 40 years of age, a beerhouse keeper, of Union-street, Greenwich, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with being drunk and incapable. The prisoner's face was much disfigured, his nose was split, and he appeared to have lost a good deal oxblood. James Howlett, a police-constable, No. 461 K, said that at 12 o'clock last night he found the pri soner in Devon's-lane, Bromley, helplessly drunk and lying with his face on the ground. He pro cured assistance, and caused the prisoner to be car ried to the station-house, when his face was bathed and surgical aid was obtained. The prisoner said he was coming along Devon's lane, on his way to the water side, for the purpose w of crossing the stream, when he was knocked down and robbed of 355., all the money he had about him. He was quite insensible, and laid in the mud till the police-constable took him into custody. He was treated very kindly by the police of the K division at the station-house. Mr. Benson—l am very glad to hear it. Do you believe the prisoner has been robbed and knocked down ? Howlett—Very likely, sir ; thieves will take ad vantage of drunken men, particularly after sunset. Mr. Benson—Are you sure he was intoxicated ? Howlett—Yes, sir ; he was very drunk. The Prisoner—l had been drinking a little. Mr. Benson said the prisoner ought to be more cautious and not to be rolling about the streets in a strange neighbourhood with which he was not acquainted while he was drunk and not able to take care of himself. It was very probable the prisoner was ill-used and robbed. He discharged the pri soner, and hoped this would be a caution to him for ever. TIIE NEW CITY GUARD TO THE POLICE VAN.— Yesterday for the first time the new City guard to the police van entered upon their duty. It consists of a ser geant and three constables all armed with cutlasses. One constable sat on the box with tho driver, another took his station on the step at the back of the van, and the third wittL the §9rgoant woro uwantod aucl ItAlowd Dohirad. POISONING BY MUSHROOMS. In the Roman States the common mushroom is accounted so unwholesome that the inspector of the fungus market at Rome causes it to be thrown into the Tiber ; but the reason is said to be that the qualities of this species, as contradistinguished from the rest of its tribe, vary with the soil whence it springs. Since so many people had been poisoned, the Papal Government in 1837 instituted the Con gregazione Speziale di Sanita, which was more parti cularly required to consider the commerce in fungi. An inspector versed in botany was to attend the markets, and none were to be sold in the streets ; all stale of the preceding day were to be destroyed ; quantities exceeding 10 lbs. were to be weighed for taxation, and the quantity during the ten years fol lowing gives an average of between 60,000 and 80,000 lbs. weight. The Chinese Government take similar precautions during periods of scarcity by issuing many thousand copies of books for free dis tribution amongst the people, with descriptions and drawings of such roots as can be eaten. The plan has been admirably carried out by Messrs. Hard wicke, the publishers in Piccaddily, so far as re gards the mushroom tribe. For the cost of a few shillings the public can obtain two large sheets containiug figures of 29 edible and 31 poisonous species, drawn the natural size, and coloured from living specimens, making it easy to distinguish the differences between edible and poisonous varieties. Persons who, at this present season of the year, roam the fields in search of the mushroom would find these printed sheets invalu able, besides being at all times curious and beauti ful for the correctness of their drawing. Many grass-land farmers complain of the injury done to their pastures by the surreptitious visits of these fungi gatherers. They have no remedy, except to proceed as against trespassers, the mushroom being by law considered an indigenous production of the soil, and free to all comers.—The Grocer. MARKETS.---This day. MARK LANE. There was a moderato supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to-day, the quality of which was generally poor. Both rod and white met a slow sale, but factors were firm in demanding the extreme rates of Monday last. In foreign a fair retail business was transacted, at fully that day's prices. The supply of barley was limited, and the late advance was readily obtained. Floating cargoes of wheat have been in brisk demand, at the improvement already noticed. Barley and other de scriptions of produce have realised full prices. No change has taken place in the value of malt. The supply was moderately extensive. Oats sold at Monday's improved tendency. Beans and peas were rather scarce, and fully as dear. Maize met a fair inquiry, and prices have an improved tendency. Linseed and rapeseed were firm in price. Trefoils and winter taros support late rates. In cakes very little was passing. The flour trade was heavy at the advance of Monday last for all qualities. ARRITILS TIIIS ITEM:. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

The following appeared in our latest edition of yesterday evening : The prisoner John Groves was to-day again placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged with being concerned in the murder of Edwin Henry Stephens—l live at 47, Seckford-street, Clerkenwell. On Saturday morning, the 28th of September, about one o'clock, I was standing at the corner of Orange-street and Kingsgate-street, oppo site Vernon-place. I had just left some friends, and was crossing Kingsgate-street, when my attention was arrested by a report of firearms. I ran in the direction of the sound and went on until I caught Farber as I thought'. He was running towards me. I ran up to Farber and seizA 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 bold, and I went on down Southampton-row, and then towards Bloomsbury square, where I met Al'Donnell, who was running towards me. Ile staggered, and I caught him in my arms. 21'llonnell told me to take his hand kerchief to stop the blood and then go for a doctor. I afterwards saw 111‘Donnell taken away in a cab. I did not see any person running before I caught hold of Furber ; he 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. Mr. 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 mine the witness Jenman, he would accordingly call her. 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, she referred to the two letters she had written on the subject, and also gave hor evidence again in detail with respect to hor identification of the prisoner. She stated to-day that a number of cell doors wore opened, with them that occupied by the prisoner Groves. After she had passed the cell of the prisoner two more doors were opened, and then 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 we went to Chichester, where we remained about 18 months. My husband then came to London, and I eventually followed him. lam now quite prepared to swear my husband has not had ten situations since his marriage. I have not spoken to any person on the subject of my evidence except going to the Treasury, where I gave my evidence to two gentle men. I have nut refreshed my memory at all with 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 .13out the Frenchman who was to be hung this morning. : cannot say the name of tho first publichouse we wont into after leaving the Amphitheatre, and I cannot say how far it is from the theatre. Tho publichouses we went into were towards the City, but our home was towards the West-end. The first publichouse my husband wont into alone. He remained there about ten minutes, and then we both went into another publichouse, 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 wo 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 nquest-- Mr. Vaughan—That is a very inconvenient way to cross-examine the witness. I know nothing of what took place thore from what has occurred here to-day. You had hotter confine your examination to the evidence the wit ness has given here. Mr. Sleigh amid adopt that courso. The cross-examination of witness was then continued. I She said—l am quite sure it was half-past - twelve when my husband left mo in the first instance. I cannot ' swear how long I was waiting about outside the Bull and Anchor. It might have been 10 minutes. I am 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 thinkit 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 publichouso. 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 tho Guardsmen as to the door the men came out. I don't even know now there are two doors to tho 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 thereto see if my husband was about ; but my chief object in going there was to see whether the man whom I had hoard threatening to shoot some person carried his inten tion into effect. Notwithstanding all this it did not enter into my mind to quake known what was about to take place, neither did it occur to me, after I had 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 fur four days in search for the other men. I don't deny that, but that was last week. What you are 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 read something about the Lieutenant, I 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 George-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. was afraid, when I heard the dark man say he 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 matter. 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' address was in Gilbert-street was that I heard 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 board. I looked at two I was asked by the officer of the prison whether I could identify him, and I said " Yee men. after I looked at Groves.. He asked me whether I could identify the man with the light beard, and I said yes, 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 abo ut a reward being offered in 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 —I first told the police I was the writer of the le tters signed liarr„ iet Williams" on Saturday last: I found out Scotland -yard by inquiring o f the policemen. I was taken to Mr. Thompson's private house to give him a description of molderark man. I have burnt the letter with respect to any . h's . death because I have been 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 i s not 12 mouths. She w as then living at Diss. Her name was Harriet Haley. I always directed my letters to Diss, near the iailway station. The prisoner I consider the tallest of the two mon who followed the other three on the night of the murder. I never 'have been in the Turk's Head public-house. Furber, Hitehins, and Bowler were then called before the witness to ascertain whether she could identify either of them, but she said she could not. Re-examination continued—l first saw the three gentlemen (111,Donnell 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 iu London. There was a good light from the public-house when I first saw Groves., _ WOO cllOSfiOd iu dark cl9thes) Pad ha Yi'M 9114) cit the now fashion Paris hats. I don't think the prisoner wo re an overcoat. I can only say he work dark clothes. I saw a good many people come out of tho public-house before the throe young men went in. They then came out, having stopped but a short time, and then the two men I have mentioned neat 'left the house, and proceeded after tho three up Southampton-row. I never saw anything 1A the hand of either of the two men. Tho 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 evidence of Jenman and Bowler. Mr. Vaug!.:an positively refused such a request. The prisoner was ag Lin remanded. SPO2riNG INTELLIOINCn—This Day, Vle rORIA CLUB BETTING—THIS DAT.
