Dr. Lloyd deposed that be went to the slaughter. house in question on the Bth Oct., and saw five bullocks slaughtered by the Jewish mode, four died in 6 i minutes, but in each case there was a second incision by the man standing by. The other took 9A minutes. He had since seen a bullock killed by the Jewish mode in 6A minutes without the second incision. The regular cutter remonstrated with the man for giving the second cut. Death was instantaneous after pole-axing a bullock, by the introduction of the cane. The Jewish mode was by no means the most humane mode of killing cattle. By the cutting, the vertebrated arteries were uncut, and the animal being conscious, the flow of blood to the braic caused pain. The vein was cut a second time, alluded to above, from the blood coagulating. By Mr. Ballantine.--Convulsions were caused by haemorrhage. Death by bleeding was formerly considered the easiest mode of dying ; that was by opening a vein. Dr. Pavey, physician, lecturer at Guy's Hospital, bad seen several bullocks slaughtered by the Jewish mode. After the animal had been thrown down, the neck dis tended, and the incision made, it was thrown into vio lent convulsions whilst the blood was rapidly issuing. After that there apppeared to be a collapse or syncope, which lasted a minute or a minute and a half, the flow of blood being much diminished. After that there was another flow and violent convulsions, during which the animal appeared to attempt to recover sensibility ; the average time occupied in killing by this method was 6A minutes. He had seen it in 44 minutes, and on one occa sion it occupied 9 minutes. He considered the use of the pale-axe the best mode of killing, and he questioned if the animal felt the cane on the brain. Separating the spinal cord with a knife, as in Paris, or the use of the pole-axe, were the best modes of killing cattle. _ _ Mr. Alfred Poland, lecturer at Guy's Hospital on anatomy, concurred in opinion with the two previous witnesses. Mr. Ballantine said he defeaded nominally the de fendants, but appeared for the members of the Jewish persuasion throughout the kingdom, whose conscience and feelings bad been affected by it. He regretted his friend, Mr. Bodkin, had not been consulted in this mat ter earlier, or some one connected with the feelings of society and the prejudiess of any particular class, for if they had been so consulted they would never have heard of such a case before a public triiunal. He had scarcely seen equalled in his experience so miserable a lack of discretion as that which has been shown in raising this question at the present time, and of intro ducing, or being charged with introducing, a feeling of animosity which had been subsiding for years, and which bad been the care of the legislature and wise men to cause to subside as far as possible. He deplored such cases could be brought forward by an irresponsible per son, because he was certain those who represented the Government would have scouted the idea 6f raising such a question, and would never have exposed themselves to such a charge as those who bad brought it forward, and by a lamentable want of discretion had raised the question. On a reference to passages in Holy Writ, they found positive instructions. They were to be care ful about animals suffering, and a positive prohibition against cruelty. Positive and remarkable directions for the treatment and management of animals, with a view to save them from pain, whether for food, or hired for labour. He proposed to deal with the question on three heads :—lst, that the Jews could not conscientiously adopt any other mode of killing their cattle than the one now adopted ; and, secondly, that this question had been unnecessarily raised. The act of Parliament, nor the section under which this complaint was laid, did not here apply ; nor was it ever intended it should apply, and which a moment's reflection should have told the promoters of these proceedings. He censured these proceedings, as a means by which to stigmatise a body of men as being cruel who - were proverbial for their kindness, but they felt in this case they could not sacrifice their religious convic tions to a body of men who had no more right to inter fere with their religious belief than bad the latter to dis cuss how the affairs of the society were managed, or what gentlemen did when they went home to dinner t 3 eat animals that had been cruelly tortured to death to minister to their luxury. All the Jews asked was to be let alone in their mode of slaughtering their cattle, which was etrictiy laid down the Old Testament, which they looked upon as the divine command of God; and the learned gentleman quoted several passages from Genesis, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy which the Jews considered of far more authority than the theoretical opinion of medical gentlemen. This was the most mer ciful and humane mode as a whole wt ich could be adopted by the Jews in slaughtering their cattle. The Jews were always ready to obey the laws of the coun tries they inhabited. They would, however, continue the practices they bad for so many centuries adopted, unless the law of the country prevented them, in which case they must remove to some other place where bi g ots did not exist. Sir Peter Laurie retired with the Chief Clerk, and on Lis return said he had given the case great attention, and was of opinion the summons must be dismissed. The summons was accordingly dismissed.

The room was thronged throughout the afternoon, and considerable progress was made in the general settle ment of the accounts connected with the recent events at Newmarket. Except in two or three instances the supply of money was evidently fully equal to the de mand. The only important case of default was on the part of a Mr. S —, who had betted heavily against the winner of the Cesarewitch, and whose account is said to be in a hopeless condition. At intervals speculation was resumed, but backers of horses were scarce ; the transactions were consequently After 6 to 5 had been taken for some money against Mr. Sykes for the Great War Nick Handicap he advanced to evens ; but. towards the close the force with which Polestar was brought into the market caused a slight re-action-5 to 4 was currently offered on the field. The outlay on Polestar, at 5 to 1 and 9 to 2, exceeded 6001. Poodle was hacked in small sums at 4 to 1 and 10 to 3. The principal movements with regard to the Cam bridgeshire were the advancing tendency of Calamus, the upoort of which was given to Veteran and Flatterer, and the disposition which was manifested to back Elvas ton. Calamus and Veteran, although one concern, had opposing parties, and each was backed for a good deal of money. Further comment is unnecessary.

ROWING MATCHES. The below-bridge admirers of a aquatics were yester day emertained with no less than three rowing matches of a varied character, over the same course. Each was numerously attended, and created a great deal of excite ment. M. Ch T a h m e b fi e r r a s tanmdatjc. Newton , was h p a a i n fr r a P . d A r n a d c e e rs b o e n t w a e n e d n Hetton. Th e f ormer were f rom N ewcas tl e - on- T yne, a and the latter from Ostend. The event was for 50/. a-side, and the distance from the Old Barge House, Woolwich, to Limehouse Hole, with tide. It was a very fine start, the Newc as tl e men t a king a slight lead, w hi c h they were, however, u na bl e to retain. Anderson an d Helton Carrie up with them in a few strokes, and a most determined and gallant race succeeded, in which they were oar and oar for some time, when the Ostend men drew in front, and were two lengths ahead at Blackwall, but there the Newcastle men put on a fine spurt and again they became level ; Chambers and Newton then gradually drew away, and subsequently won by half a dozen lengths. Tae second match was between C. Childers and J. Bristow, for 401. over the same course. They started evenly at a quarter to three, and continued together for some distance, when Childers took the lead, and main tained it, winning easily towards the finish. Campion and Wade next made their appearance, and and w as accompanied by a steamer , crowded r owed over the same course for 40/. This was a very reporting d ewith a d rilatcb n ' xious spe c t ators. They were off at three o'clock, Campion with a Bli g ht l ead, which he held for some • distance, closely pressed b y h i s opponent. In the heat of the race Campion unshipped on e o f h i s sculls, o owing to the rough water, and in a moment Wade was his • • by him, and never forfeited position. Campion rowed desperately, but could not overhaul him, and Wade won by 300 yards.

SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.--Tnis morning was appointed for the examination of Abraham Baker for the murder of his fellow-servant, Naomi Kingswel), and, as might have been expected, caused great excitement. As will be seen by the subjoined evidence, from the moment the idea of murder entered the mind of the as• sas-in, neither fear of detection, nor fear of conse• quences, could for one moment have entered his thoughts, The victim was about 26 years of age, of a respectable family, and very prepossessing appearance. She bad known Baker some time before entering the service of Mr. Poynders, having met him at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. The prisoner is about 5 feet 10 in height, of a mild and somewhat delicate appearance. When placed at the bar he was attired in a loose brown coat, and had the ap pearance of a respectable mechanic, Ever since his ap prehension he has conducted himself with calmness and propriety, although apparently indifferent to his fate, or without feeling any remorse for the magnitude of the crime he has committed. He ate with his usual appetite the meals set before him yesterday afternoon and even ing, and on retiring to rest passed a tolerable night s This morning he rose at the usual time, and breakfasted on coffee amid bread and butter, and conversed freely with the policeman in charge, and continued easy in his man ner, notwithstanding he was somewhat taciturn at pe riods. Shortly after 11 o'clock he was placed in the felons' dock, in the small chamber of the Audit House, to undergo his examination. The mayor, Sampson Payne, E•A , was in the chair ; and on the bench were Captain Breton, George Borrett, Esq., Joseph Lobb, Esq., John. Witt, Esq., and J. T. Tucker, Esq., the late mayor. The prisoner did not evince any emo tion whatever. He stood calm and collected, but with a downcast look, and appeared to take no interest whatever in the proceedings ; and to the questions of the mayor, as to whether he wished to a=k the various witnesses against him anything, be invariably replied, " No, sir." Only once he made an observation, and that was during Mr. Clayton's examination ; it ap pesred he un,'.erstood that witness to say he sold him a small box with caps in it. It was merely a denial of the same. Oe being removed from the dock to the call he bad an interview with his father, an aged and respectable-look ing man. The father of the prisoner shook hands with the wretched man, and entered into conversation with him. The fortitude of the prisoner whiel, had borne him through the examination %Rh au unnatural calmness here forsook him, and he wept bitterly. The following is the evidence taken : The first witness called was Charlotte Lacy, who said —I am cook at No. 1, Moira-place, in the service of the Rev. Mr. Poynders, where I have been 13 years. The prisoner was footman in the same service. When he re turned from church yesterday morning at about a quar ter-past 12 o'clock, the deceased opened the door to him. As he passed I asked him if he had been to church. He replied no. I asked him it he knew it was sacrament Sunday. He said no. He afterwards came into the kitchen, when I asked him if he would lay the luncheon for me. His answer was yes. He then went into the pantry from the kitchen, and prepared the luncheon trays. He returned into the kitchen, but did not speak. He again went into the pantry, and a third time re-en tered the kitchen. Naomi Kingswell (the deceased) and myself were talking at one end of the screen which stands before the fire. I had hold of the screen, Baker came up and rested his left elbow on the other side of the screen. He did not speak. H.s right hand was behind him under his coat. A Magistrate—Were your eyes fixed upon him at this time ? Witness—They were not. I did not look at him. Re-examined—l saw his arm move from behind his back, and immediately heard the report of a pistol. The weapon was pointed in the direction of the deceased. P was so near that I felt the heat from the flash. I then saw the deceased drop. As she was falling she said "Oh!" and the blood flowed from under her left ear. A Magistrate—How near was he to her when this took place ? Witness—About a yard off. Magistrate—So that when he raised his arm the pistol must have been close to her head ? Witness—Yes, about a finger's length. The Bench—You say that no words passed between the prisoner and the deceased ? Witness—Not a word. I must have heard if anything had been said. The Mayor—How long had he been i❑ the kitchen before this took place ? Witness—About two or three minutes. Re-examined—l said to the prisoner, " Oh, Baker, Baker, what have you done ?" The Bench—Did he make any reply to that ? Witness—No, I then went to the front door, leaving the prisoner in the kitchen. I called for assistance. Mayor—Did Baker (the prisoner) make any attempt to escape ? Witness—l am not aware that be did. I went into the house again with a policeman, who took the prisoner into custody as he was going out of the front door. I took hold of the prisoner's hand, and said to him again, "Oh, Baker, Baker, what have you done ? " He said, " I have done it. She deserved it, you know." Nothing more passed between us. I saw no more of him. The Bench—Did you not say that she had not spoken to him ? Witness--He asked the same morning what was the matter with her. The witness concluded her evidence, which she had given in a feeble tone and with some agitation, by stat ing that the deceased had been four months in the ser vice of Mr. Poynder, and the prisoner five month , . The Mayor—Prisoner, you can ask this witness any question you like. Prisoner (in a mild voice)---I have nothing to ask her. Police-constable Geo'rge Thatchell examined—l was caged to No. 1, Moira-place yesterday. From informa tion I received from the last witness, I went down stairs in the direction of the kitchen, and met the prisoner at the foot of the stairs, and took him into custody, and asked him to walk to the front door with me. I took him back into the kitchen, and there I saw the deceased lying under the kitchen-table, her head covered with blood. I then told prisoner he was charged with shoot ing her. He said he was aware of it. The Bench --Were those the exact words he said ? Witness—Yes, sir. I then asked the prisoner where the pistol was. He said in the pantry in the next room. I then asked him to point out the place to me. He went into the pantry, and behind a large box I found the pis tol produced. When I took the pistol the hammer was on the nipple. Nothing further passed between us. The deceased appeared to be quite dead. I conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. Mr. Robe: t Welsh examined—l am a surgeon. I was called by a policeman yesterday, at about one o'clock, to go to Moira-place, to see a person who had been shot. I went there, and entered the kitchen, where I saw the deceased lying on the floor, partly on her back and partly on her side. I felt the pulse, but there was no pulsa tion. I put my hear to the chest, but the heart had ceased to beat. I then examined her head, and ob served discoloration of the skin, from grains of powder, on the face and neck (left side.) Above the ear, on the left side, I observed a large portion of the brain protru ding, mixed with a small quantity of blood. Th e h ea d of the deceased lay in blood. I lifted the head and ob. served an opening on the right side. I also observed on the floor a portion of the skull, and another piece was shown me by the police. On the floor was also a small portion of the brain, and also on her dress. She was quite dead. I did not examine the size of the wound. It might have been occasioned by something passing through the head, which might have been a bullet. The wound on the right side was much the largest. Serjeant Ralfs examined—Yesterday, about 10 minutes before one o'clock, from information received, I went to No. 1, Moira-place, and met the prisoner in custody a short distance from the door. I entered the house, and went down into the kitchen. I there saw the deceased lying under the table. I sent for the doctor. I noticed that in an opposite direction to where the deceased fell, the mark of a ball could be traced. It had struck the ceiling and the wall, and from thence glanced over the door of the kitchen, where all traces of it were lost. On searching for some time I found the ball (produced) in the hairs of a long-handled brush, standing in a corner of the room. I found some small pieces of the skull which had been forced across the room, and were lying near where the ball was found. (Sensation.) I then searched the prisoner's box, and in a flannel I found 5 balls or bullets, 22 percussion caps, and some gunpowder; also a small case containing percussion caps and gun wads. Mr. Alfred Clayton examined—l am a gun-maker, and reside in the High-street, Southampton. I sold the pistol (referring to the one prodnced) on Saturday night to a person whom I believe to be the prisoner. He came to my shop between eight and nine o'clock. He asked me for a double pistol. I showed him two or three double ones. He then asked to see some single ones. I put two or three before him, and he selected the one preduced. He then asked for bullets, powder, and caps, which were supplied to him. I then said, " Are you going to fight a duel ?" I believe he replied in these words—" The pistol will do to shoot a large dog." I said " That will do for him." He paid me the sum of 154. 6d. for the articles, and left. The Bench—What is the weight of the ball ! Witness—About half an ounce. me. The Bench—Look The Bench—Had you any previous knowledge or ac quaintanceetrhfe ecfltasttteraunegderta to nfired from th e with the prisoner ? Witness—He at ap pistol. Does that correspond with the others 2 Witness—lt does, and is about the same weight. to Mayor—Prisoner, have you any question ask this witness ? Prisoner—No, sir. The prisoner here attempted to make a statement, but was warned by the Mayo r th at it would be and used as evidence agai ns t him. The pri taken soner, down how ever, said, " I have b a d th e tin box for He two years. was here alluding to the small box containing gun wads and percussion cape, which was found by Sergeant Ealfs in the prisoner's box. Inspector Enri g h t examined—Yesterday, about one clock, the p r i soner was brought to the station-house, w charged with s h oot i ng the female servant. A pistol was handed handed to me by the policeman, which I examined. I found an exploded cap on the nipple, and on unscrew ing the barrel, I found it had been recently discharged. Shortly after I received information that the prisoner bad been into a house in West-street, and there written a letter. He replied it was to his father, who lived at 34, Pyle street, Newport, Isle of Wight. I went to the post-office and obtained the letter, which I showed to the j risoner. He said that was the letter he bad writ ten. The letter was opened ; it contained a sixpence. The prisoner read to me the contests, which were as fol lows : " Oot. 14, 1855. "Dear Father and Mother,—This may be the last time I shall write to you, and I will leave all my things to you and mother. One box left at Mrs. Wood's eating•hou s You must come up to see me to-morrow, and take r.ll m things home for yourselves. There are three large bore a b3nd-box, and a large bundle of clothes. My watch and clock, with hat-box and money, you can have." (This way written on a sheet of notepaper, in a very illegible hand.) In answer to questions from the Bench, Inspector Enright raid the prisoner informed him that this letter was written yesterday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, at Wood's eating-house. At the same place a box belonging to the prisoner was also found. On the person of the prisoner was found a purse con taming four sovereigns and a half, and 7s. 4d. in silver, one gold wedding-ring (quite new) and one keeper ring, a silver watch, with a gold Albert chain and seals. This concluded the case against the prisoner. The Mayor having warned the prisoner in the usual manner, asked if he had anything to say in answer to the charges brought against him ? Prisoner—Not at present. The Mayor then said—Prisoner, you stand commit ted to take your trial at Winchester, or elsewhere, be fore a higher tril unal than this, and let me remind you that there is another and a still higher tribunal than that. You are committed on the charge of wilful murder. Country Markets. CIIELAISFORD—OcT. 12.
