This morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the r eigh bout...mod of Artillery-lane, Bishopsgate-street, was pain fully excited by the report of a murder, committed by a - ,;can named Lordon, on his wife, residing at Parliament- L: court, Artillery-lane, which, on inquiry, Was unfortu nately found to be true. The deceased and her husband (who is in custody) were both persons of dissolute and drunken habits, and from their constant quarrelling continually annoying the peaceable inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The deceased formerly kept a fruit stall at the corner of the Ufa-.lion-house, but in consequence of the impropriety • of her conduct had to be removed. After tile committal of the horrid deed the prisoner gave himself up to one of the Metropolitan policemen, and was conveyed by him to the station-house, where he made a statement of his guilt to Sergeant Merritt, who was then on duty. The prisoner was detained whilst Sergeant Merritt proceeded to the house indicated by the prisoner, whore on entering the room occupied by the wretched couple he found the deceased suffering from several severe wounds in the neck. Deceased was 50 years of age. Medical assistance was immediately sent fir, and Mr. Shaw, surgeon, of Bishopsgate-street, promptly attended, and on examining her pronounced her to be dead. The police immediately took possession of the room, and in a hurried search made by them the knife with which the horrid deed was committed was found covered with blood. The murderer is the deceased's second husband. He is a Spitalfields weaver by trade, but has latterly worked in the docks. There are several children, but all of an age to maintain themselves. Rumour assigns thelause of the murder to jealousy, the deceased having attended an Irish wake or party last night contrary to the wish and desire of her husband. daughter (the deceased) in the room about half-past nine o'clock at the raffle, which was got up for her assistance, but she received none of the money, amounting to 195., contributed to the raffle. Prisoner came in about ten o'olock, before the raffia was over, three parts drunk. His daughter afterwards came in, and he aimed a blow at her. Witness's son interfered, and the child left. She could not say if the deceased was intoxicated ; she and the prisoner appeared then comfortable towards each other ; she left them at the beer-shop abo'it 11 o'clock. Kingstone came in with the prisoner, and was very drunk, worse than the pri soner; they were not quarrelling. Kingstone is a wea ver, and she believed him to be a friend of the prisoner. Police-constable 13 said that when he searched the prisoner he saw much blood on his fingers and hand. The prisoner, who had a downcast, stolid appearance, declined questioning the witnesses. The prisoner was remanded till this day week. The inquest on the body will be held to-morrow morn ing, at the Court-house, Spitalfields. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorier.)

Several witnesses having been examined, The jury stopped the case. In the course of the afternoon the grand jury found true hills in the case of Sir John Dean Paul, Strahan, and Bates.

Naval and Military Intelligence. A Board of Admiralty is expected at„Portsmouth this day on the annual visit of inspection. Two of the Board landed at Portsmouth from the steam yacht Black Eagle on Sunday evening from their trip to the western ports, and proceeded to London: Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief, also re turned to Portsmouth on Sunday evening from his tour of inspection along the coast as far as the Channel Islands. We reported a few days ago that the fine two-decker Prince Regent had been removed from the ordinary in Portsmouth Harbour to moorings off the dockyard, pre paratory to being docked and adapted to a screw after the manner of the Colossus, &c. It is now officially re ported that the estimates have been called for by the Admiralty, with the view of making her a. hulk merely, in the room of an old frigate now doing that service. The transport Colombo, No. 110, Capt. Franklin, arrived at Spithead last evening, at sunset, from the East, with about 125 invalids. The Mary Anne sailing transport, No. 42, left Spit head last evening for Deptford. The Arabia steam transport, No. 95, Captain Stone, loading ordnance stores in Portsmouth Harbour for the Crimea, is expected to leave about Saturday next, taking out troops and towing the Great Tasmania sailing hos pital ship, Capt. Crow, also with troops. The Jackal! screw transport, C. Fricharn, master, went down to Woolwich on Saturday from Deptford, and is embarking huts and munitions of war for the Black Sea. The Omar Pasha and Cosmopolite arrived likewise at the Arsenal moorings for the like purpose and destination. The Marley Hill, which sailed thence on Saturday, had arrived at that point of the river called the " Bite," when flames were observed issuing from the hold of the vessel. Au alarm was instantly given by the pilot, when buckets were forwarded from the shipping office, but before they had reached the ship the fire was ex tinguished, and after an hour's delay the Marley Hill was enabled to proceed on her voyage. The fire was fortunately confined to some, wood, which had been in cautiously forgotten, and left on the heated boilers. Another batch of mortar-boats has reached Woolwich, namely, the NOP. 1,3, 15, and 18. They are to discharge their ordnance stores, to be stripped, and to be laid up at Deptford like the former ones ; and when all have arrived the total number there will be 26. The James Holmes transport-ship, Capt. Head, from Barbadoes, came into Woolwich on Sunday night, with a detachment of 41 non-commissioned officers and pri vates, belonging to the Royal corps, under the command of Lieut. Atchi, , on, 67th Regiment, and staff assistant surgeon. The James Holmes left Barbadoes on the Ist of August, and was, consequently, 47 days at sea. She had one case of yellow fever during her voyage, and, with that exception, all were landed well. Tim vessel is to be laid up at the West India Docks. His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon passed through Woolwich on Sunday, having arrived there by the 11 o'clock train, and embarked on board his yacht, the Oriel, which lay off the Dockard, awaiting his arri val. She immediately afterwards got up steam and steered fur the Downs. The Vixen was taken out of Woolwich yesterday. In consequence of Dr. Dartnell, the Deputy-Inspector. General of Hospitals, having obtained leave of absence from the General Hospital, Fort Pitt, the duty of Prin cipal Medical Officer devolves on First Class Staff-Sur geon R. Battersley ; and the under-named Acting Assis tant-Surgeons left Fort Pitt yesterday to embark for service at the following stations :—Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Short proceed to Liverpool, to embark for Canada ; Mr. Healley proceeds to Southampton, to embark for Jamaica ; and Mr. Le Febure and Mr. Kelly also go to Southampton, to embark for service at Ba,rbadoes. A party of invalids, 87 in number, of different corps, sent home from the Crimea wounded, and otherwise being unfit for any further military duty, were dis charged from the invalid depot on Saturday. 28 dis charged men were embarked at Gravesend on board the Irish steamer for Dublin. At the camp at Aldershott 19 new wooden buildings are about being erected in a substantial manner, They are intended for officers and staff sergeants. Three iron buildings are also ordered for gun and forage sheds, and many other extensive additions to the camp will shortly be made. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. During the past few days a large quantity of the huts intended for the troops in the Crimea, to make up the number ordered by the Government, have been de spatched. The officers hut is of nearly the same descrip tion as that of the men, the only difference being in the size and internal arrangements. The first detachment of the Army Works Corps, des tined for the Crimea, consisting of 200 men, which have recently been organised by Sir J. Paxton, will in the course of this day or to-morrow proceed upon its desti nation. GLASGOW, SEPT. 15. SECTION A.—MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSIOAL SCIENCE.

CRACK CALVERT, "On the Action of Sulphu retted Hydrogen on Solutions of Salts of Zinc." SECTION C.-GEOLOGY. Mr. ROBERT ALLEN read a paper "On the present Condition of the Geysers of Iceland." Mr. EVAN HOPKINS read a paper "On the Gold bearing Districts of the World ;" and Professor NICEIOL a paper "On the Auriferous Quartz Districts of Australia," by Mr. J. A. Campbell, of Glas gow, formerly of Australia. Mr. Campbell was of opinion that the gold fields are inexhaustible, and the finding of gold only in its infancy. Boundless fields lie still untouched, which will employ the labour of ages yet to come, and when efficient machinery shall have been brought to operate upon the rocks, there may be then gold enough to liquidate the national debt. Sir R. J. MURCHISON said he had been in communi cation with the governor of Australia, and it was un doubted that though the population had of late largely increased the produce of gold had decreased. It was a virgin country ; the gold lay in great troughs, and the question was how long it would take to exhaust them. It might be a quarter of a century—more or less—he would not like to name it ; but it would he, sooner or later, exhausted. The riches were on the surface. When the Spaniards first visited South America, and found the palace of Montezuma and the other princes covered with gold, which bad been collected by the poor people with their sticks out of thegravel of the earth, they said, " What will come when we go down to the bowels of the earth ;" and it must be remembered that the Spaniards were then the best miners in the world. What was the result ? They mined for gold—they were ruined and a proverb gradually came into use, which said, " he who wants to make a fortune will mine for copper; he who wants a moderate fortune will mine for silver ; and he who wants to ruin himself 1 A him mine for gold." (A laugh.) There might be exceptions to this rule, but it generally held true. In nineteen cases out of twenty, deep mining will cost 255. for every 1/. of gold. This was undoubtedly the case in South America. No doubt, however, Australia would produce gold for many years, and enable this country to found there a magnificent empire. (Applause.) Mr. PAGE read a paper, in continuation of his remarks at Liverpool, " On the Subdivisions of the Palxozoic and Metamorphic Rocks of Scotland ;" and another, " On the Stratignphical Relations and Development of the Freshwater or Lower Carboniferous Limestone of Dr. Ilibbert."

Dr. CAMPS read a paper by Dr. Guy, " On the Fluc tuations in the number of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, and in the number of Deaths from special causes, in the Metropolis, during the last 15 years-1840-55." Dr. COLDSTREAM read a paper "On some of the Re sults deducible from the Report on the Statistics of Dis ease iu Ireland, published along with the Census of 1851." ell LOO Lao J. A. CAMPBELL, Esq., Glasgow, read a paper by Mr. Valpy, " On the Effect of the War ou the principal Ar ticles of Russian Produce." The paper showed that previous to the war Russia exported her principal pro ductions chiefly to England, and England imported such productions chiefly for Russia ; that since the outbreak of war the exports of produce from Russia have dimi nished to a greater proportionate extent than the:gene ral imports of Such articles into England ; that the value of produce in Russia cannot compensate the producer for the decrease of exports, whilst supplies from other countries than Russia will prevent the consumer in Eng land suffering from very high prices ; that the difficulties and consequent expense of transport by land from Rus sia render the injuries of a blockade as necessarily very Seldom has it fallen to the lot of a journalist to record a more melancholy case of self-destruction, nor one under more painful circumstances, than that which we present to the public this day. No doubt it will be in the recollection of the public that in July Mr. Holds worth, a gentleman well known and respected, and who held an appointment in the Post-office, met his death by being accidentally drowned whilst bathing at New Brighton. He left a widow and five daughters—the oldest not fifteen, the youngest under three years of age. The shock to Mrs. Holdsvvorth was so sudden and se vere that her reason became affected, and she has been quite idiotic since that time. With her children she went to reside in the house of her brother, Mr. Knowles (who holds an appointment in the General Post-office), at 7, Lower Mersey-view, Bootle ; and the utmost at tention was paid to her by her brother and his children, who cherished great affection for the poor unhappy lady. Some time ago she had an attack of paralysis, and one aide of her body was, in consequence, seriously affected, and became quite useless. Her mental affliction in creased until she seemed to have lost all traces of the world and everything about her. She remained in this lamentable state up to Saturday morning, when she was left alone for about two minutes, and during this brief period she destroyed herself by cutting her throat with a razor. It was a sad and afflicting sight to see the poor little children who, but a couple of months sinoe were blessed with parents, now bereft of both, and left on the world with out, comparatively, any provision being made for them. It will be remembered that at the time of Mr. Holds worth's death a number of merchants and other gentle men entered into a subscription for the deceased , lady and the children, as there was no provision made by the post-office. The matter was placed in the bands of Mr. Bales, superintendent of letter-carriers, and that gentle. man, with a degree of zeal that reflects credit on him, prosecuted the affair, as far as his limited time would permit, but as he could not find leisure to call on all who were anxious to subscribe, perhaps the present me lancholy occasion will be taken by such gentlemen as wish to assist the poor little orphans. We should be glad to receive any contributions for this laudable pur pose. The borough coroner having been apprised of the melancholy fact, summoned a highly respectable jury, of which Duncan Gibb, Esq., was foreman, and pro ceeded to the house of Mr. Knowles, at Bootle, where the body lay. The deceased lady had just entered on her 40th year. The following evidence was given before the jury. Mr. Knowlee said—l am brother of the de ceased Elisabeth Holdsworth. She was in a very low desponding state since the death of her husband in July, and had gradually become worse. Last night she ap peared quite unconscious of what she was doing. She had a paralytic stroke about five weeks since, and the use of all one side was quite gone. From the man ner she worked her arms last night I think she had another stroke. I went into her bedroom at-five o'clock in the morning to bid her good morning, as I invariably did before leaving for the office. She did not appear to know me. I went away at five minutes past five, and when in town I was sent for, and on my return saw her with her throat cut, and quite dead. Miss Agnes Knowles, daughter of the last witness, and niece of the deceased, was examined. She said the deceased did not go to bed at all during the night. I walked the room np to two o'clock with her, and my sister relieved me for the remainder of the night. The deceased was in a desponding state since July, and got worse every day. Since the paralytic attack'she did not appear to know where she was, or who were about her. Since last Monday she was quite deranged, and fre quently walked the bed-room all night. .About a quar ter before seven I went to the door of her room again, and found it locked on the inside. I looked through the keyhole, and then went round and got into the room again through the window. Deceased was lying on the floor, quite dead. I saw two razors with blood on them —one on the floor beside her, and one on the table. Her throat was cut, and sho was then dead. My sister had left her about a minute-and-a-half or two minutes, and in that time the deceased must have committed the rash act. The jury said they had heard quite enough evidence, and at once found for their verdict that the unfortunate lady was out of her mind, and that whilst in that state she had put an end to her life. Mr. Gibb, the foreman of the jury, asked Mr. Knowles if there was any provision made by the post-office for Mr. Holdsworth ? Mr. Knowles replied there was not. Mr. Gibb—How much had he a-year ? 150/. ; but he had not that always. Mr. Gibb—Then his poor children must have been left quite destitute ' • for he could no t have saved anythi ng , h av i n g to bring up his family, and at the same time support himself in his sphere of life, out of 1501. a-year. I wish we could make a pre sentinent or representation to the post-office on this point ; but I fear we cannot. The coroner said the people employed about the post-office were the worst paid men on the face of the earth.

The chief attraction of Saturday evening was the ex hibition of the electric light. Professor WILSON explained the generation of the light, and Messrs. Dubosq and Nachet projected the images of various natural objects upon a white screen, where they were seen magnified to the extent of 6,000 times.

On visiting the place of the murder, 15, Parliament court, Artillery-passage, Artillery-lane, we found the neighbourhood still ill an excited state from the tragical occurrence above named ; and from inquiries made, which we can confidently state as being reliable, it ap pears that the deceased and her husband attended an Irish raffle, where the murderer bad some words with a man of whom he was jealous, which ended in blows, and he left the house at half-past 11 o'clock and returned to his home and went to bed, his wife remaining behind. At a quarter past five o'clock this morning (she had returned home, but had not gone to bed) she called one of her two sons who resided with their pa rents to go to work, and he dressed himself and lett home. At half-past six o'clock she called the second son, and asked for a light with which to light her pipe. She afterwards went towards the bed on which her husband was lying, when be took from underneath the bed, where he had concealed it, a large pointed knife, like that used by butchers, and made a thrust at her, wounding her severely. She made the best of her way to the door to escape, but of so serious a nature was the wound, and so copiously did it bleed, that she sank exhausted on the stairs and died almost immediately. The circumstance having arDusod the neighbours me dical assistance was immediately sent for, and Mr. Shaw (Shaw and Floyer) promptly attended, and on examine ing her pronounced her to bo dead. The murderer in the mean time escaped from the house, and about half-past seven o'clock went to Spital square Station and saw Police Constable 13 H. The murderer, who appeared in rather a sullen, half-conscious state, not having recovered from his night's debauch, said to the policeman, "I am come to surrender myself up to you." The policeman asked for what, and he re plied, " I've killed my wife this morning." A reserve man was then sent to his address, and, find ing his tale to be correct, he was detained in custody. EXAMINATION OF THE MURDERER. About half-past two o'clock Daniel Lordon, an Irish man, described on the police-sheet as of 48 years of age, was placed at the bar of Worship -street police-court, before Mr. D'Eyncouit, charged, on his own confessiont with wilfully murdering his wife, Catherine Lordon, a, 15, Parliament-court, Artillery-passage, Old Artillery ground. The prisoner was brought from the police-station, Spital•square, in a cab, followed by a large concourse of persons, mostly females, eager to get a sight of him. Pollee sergeant 13 H deposed that about half-past 7 o'clock this morning the prisoner came to the Chapel yard station, Spital-square, where witness was on duty, and said to him, " I surrender myself up to you." He said to him, " What for ; what have you done ?" and he replied " I've killed my wife this morning." Witness called Policeman 59, who was on reserve duty, and di rected him to accompany the prisoner to the house and ascertain if such was the case, and also to send for the divisional surgeon if required. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Was the prisoner sober at the time ? Witness—He appeared to have been drinking. I could not say he was drunk. Witness resumed—The prisoner and the constable left and returned again in about a quarter of an "hour after wards. He then entered, the charge on the sheet and read it over. He said, "That's it." The prisoner declined putting any questions, to the witness. John Jackson, 59 11, deposed that he went with the prisoner from the station to his residence, in 15, Parlia ment-court, Artillery-ground. He heard the statement made by the prisoner to the last witness. The prisoner took him into the passage, and on the first landing of the stairs showed him a woman, who was in a sitting posture, with her head and arms upon her knees, and her knees up towards her chin. Prisoner said, "That's her." Witness took hold of her hand and felt it was cold. He then lifted her head back and saw in her lap a pool of congealed blood. He believed she was dead from her face and hands being cold, and he said to the prisoner, "How did you do this " He replied, "With a knife." He asked him if he struck her on the landing, and he replied " No." He asked him for the knife ; on which the prisoner said, " Come up stairs,, and I'll give it to you." Prisoner then went up stairs, witness fol lowing, and from the sill of the second-floor front room window he took a knife and gave it to the witness. (The knife, a long clasp knife, similar to a butcher's knife, was produced.) Witness asked him, "Where had you the knife before striking her ? " and he said " Here," pointing to between the mattress and the bed. The knife is covered with blood up to the hilt. The blood was part wet and part dry. Witness asked him why he struck her with the knife, and he said " We've been to a raffle—we had a row." Witness took him down stairs and back to the station, and sent for Mr. Mears, the divisional surgeon. Mr. D'Eyncourt—What state was he in I Witness—He appeared to have been drinking, and was excited and shook very much. Mr. D'Eyncourt—He appeared to have been drinking? Witness—His whole manner appeared to denote that. Mr. D'Eyncourt—When you first lifted her head did you see the wound in the neck ? Witness—No, I did not, but I did afterwards, when I assisted her up stairs and put her on the bed. Mr. Shaw, surgeon, had seen the body before the arrival of Mr. Mears. The wound was on the right-hand side, about two inches below the ear, and appeared to be a large wound, sufficient for him to have put in his two fingers. Blood was oozing from it at the time. The edges appeared jagged. It had the appearance of a stab rather than a cut. He only observed one wound. There was a great quantity of blood on the landing of the stairs, but a much larger pool of blood near the bed in the prisoner's room. The deceased's bands were not clasped, but rather closed, and had blood on them. At the station the prisoner asked for pen, ink, and paper, to write to his sister, which was complied with. He then wrote :—" My dear Mary,—Make your self as happy as you can. If you • and I are allowed to speak to each other I shall beyery glad, and will tell you something.—(Signed) DANLIL LORDON." Witness went and saw the sister, and brought her to the station house, where she bad an interview with him, in the pre sence of the witness and two inspectors. George Marsh, inspector of the H division, deposed that he went to the prisoner's house and saw the deceased lying on the bed qiiite dead. He saw two large cuts under the right ear. There was a great quantity of blood on the floor, and her clothes were saturated with blood. There was also blood on the staircase, which bad" ran on to the first step. He after wards went to the station, and hearing the prisoner had sent for his sister, he remained until she came ; he asked her "if she wished to see her brother," and she said " Yes." He, Inspector Gernon, and the sister saw the prisoner in the office. Witness asked him "if he wished to speak to his sister," and he said "Yes." Witness cautioned him, informing him he should take down his statement in writing. He said "he wished to speak to his sister, and was quite aware it would be used against him." His sister, who was much excited, and did it." embraced ~ Rethen him,nd made aastaatsekme statement t him i a m b ou ‘ t ‘ why meeting he a man near the London Docks, and there having some beer together, and his offering him a raffle ticket. At the Green Dragon, Half-Moon-street, a rOw subse quently took place between the prisoner and his wife's brother, who threatened to throw him downstairs. He then went home, and heard a man's voice, that of King ston's, speaking to his wife on the stairs. Kingston struck him several blows, and in the course of the scuffle he struck Kingston with a poker. He then want out and spoke to a City policeman. After wards he returned home and laid down on the bed with his coat off. This morning his wife called the boys to go to work, and came into the room shortly after. He asked her what she did there, and some words ensued, on which he put his hand under the bed-tick, took out the knife, and inflicted the wound that caused her death. Jane Crease, a widow, residing A 38, Crispin-street, Spitalfields, deposed that the deceased was her daughter. The last time she saw her alive was last night about 11 o'clock in the Green Dragon beer-shop, Halfmoon-street, Bishopegate-street. Witness met her two eons and CITY .REGISTRATION. Yesterday morning Thomas Young I.lThristie, Esq., the barrister appointed to revise the " Parliamentary list of voters for the City of London," commenced his sittings for that purpose in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall. This being the first day the business was principally confined to the attendance of the clerks of the various livery companies, and also the wards and parishes throughout the City, handing in their several lists and returns, when the order in which they will be taken by the learned barrister will be determined on. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Lodger appeared on the part of the Reform Registration Association, by whom the only claims and objections have been made. .

At half-past 9 o'clock this morning a detachment, con sisting of 200 of the Army Works Corps, as organised 'by Sir J. Paxton, took their departure for the Crimea by a special train from the Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern Railway to Dover, and will thence proceed to Marseilles and• the overland route. The men looked remarkably well, and were loudly cheered on the departure of the train by several hundred persons, who had assembled in the vicinity of the station. The train also carried a vast number of the gallant artificers' tools, with several large tents to accommodate 60 men each, from B. Edginton's, made of strong canvas, and other necessary articles for the comfort of the men. This body of men will be followed by 250 others, all first-rate workmen, on the 25th of the present month. Sir J. Paxton, and a vast number of influential gentlemen were present at the station to witness the departure, and were evidently well satisfied with the good spirits and satisfactory ap pearance of the men.

The bank returns for Ireland to the let of September show the feature usually witnessed at this season of a contraction of circulation and bullion. The reduction in the former is 69,438/. ; in the latter, 25,1011., which is not much larger than usual. This is likely to be the last return for months which will be unfavourable, as experience shows that for months to come a large expan sion occurs, consequent on the action of the harvest. The circulation and bullion are both now nearly the figure they were last year at this time. The following is a summary of the present return : Circulation.
