GLOBE.—That the article upon " The Last Session" in the newly-published number of the Edinburgh Review, should have sorely disquieted the heads of the Tory party, will excite no sur prise in those who have carefully read and pon dered its facts and arguments. The policy of the late Ministry is therein not merely vindicated from the imputations so plentifully cast upon it by the Tories—the opposition which it encountered in Parliament, and the mis representation and calumnies with which it was daily assailed by the Tory press, are not merely shown to have originated in faction, and to have been sustained and impelled by rest less selfishness hungering for office, but the con duct of the then Opposition is made to recoil upon itself now that it constitutes the Govern ment. The triumph of the late Administration .was not complete when it laid its free-trade programme upon the table of Parliament, and provoked the hostility of the monopolies, before which it fell. That was the cause and the mo ment of its humiliation. Had nothinc , more been done, there would at least, have been the . embodied views of the Whig Cabinet on com mercial and fiscal policy to have been appealed to, as a rallying-point, for the advocates - of free-trade, which they might have advantage ously contrasted with the plans of a monopoly conserving Government. This would have been worth something. It would have been an enduring and honourable monument to the Melbourne Mi nistry; the presence of which would have inspired apprehensions in the class-interests of an early • resurrection to life and vigour of those princi tles which were emb o di e d i n i ts p l ans, an d w hi c h hey fondly hoped they had crushed by the de feat, and had buried in the tomb of the Govern ment with which they originated. The Trea sury-bench became, it is true, the seat of a different set of men, who obtained posses sion of it by promises to govern upon prin ciples far different to those whom they dis placed. But the delusion was short lived. The very first Budget of the new Government proclaimed the dishonesty of its authors. By adopting the leadiug features of the system of the Ministers whom they had " pushed from their stools," they convicted themselves of dis honesty—provoked the indignation of the classes they had so egregiously deluded and deceived —r rid pronounced the best imaginable eulogy on the Government they had incessantly assailed and opposed, on the ground of the very mea sures the principles of which they had adopted as the bases of their own. To enable him to carry out his grand scheme of fiscal revision and modification, Sir Robert Peel was indebted to the very men whom he had supplanted ; and but for whose generous interposition, at the crisis of his !lite, he would have been defeated and dis -placed, by means of a powerful section of mal - contents in his own ranks. Then was the moral triumph of the Whig Government complete. Never in the history of party was there a more gratifying spectacle than that which the House of Commons exhibited on the occasion so well remembered. The loss of office was, as it well might be, forgotten by the Whim leaders. STANDARD.—With pain, but without hesi tation, we lay before our readers the following extract, from a hurried letter written on the 27th of August at Bombay, by Major Messiter, of the 28th Regiment : " Bombay, August 27, 1842. * 'l: * " The Colonel is going away in command of a bri gade. I therefore fall into the command of the regi ment. We take the field immediately. Most disas trous news [have] arrived [from] the interior. The 41st cut to pieces." [A reference to some private affairs follows.] " Yours, &c., " JOHN MESSITER." There is no doubt of the authenticity of this letter, and it is certain that the writer, well known as a gallant, experienced, and able Officer, would not make such a communication without a full conviction of its truth. As this is, however, the only statement upon the subject that has reached Europe, it is necessary to weigh carefully the probabilities on both sides. And first, we will take the considerations favourable to the conclusions which we should least wish to find verified. The character of Major Messiter, of which we have already spoken, has great weight ; and there is nothing of what is known of the state of the compaign in Can dahar to raise any violent presumption against the correctness of his melancholy . statement. A letter from the scene of that cam ' paign, which we have copied from this morning's Times, and which 'we find perfectly accordant with the accounts in the Indian journals, shows how dreadfully the British force in Candahar is over-matched, and what frightful difficulties it has hitherto had to encounter. We see, too, by a letter of July 29, in the Indian papers, that the 41st was exposed to peculiar dan ger. This letter says that her Majesty's 41st, the 25th Bombay Native Infantry, some com panies of light battalions, three or four of the Shah's regiments, a troop of his Horse Artille r y, two companies of Bengal Foot Artillery, and some Poonahs, were appointed to escort the bat tering train to Quettah—a service, the diffiulty and hazard of which in such a country must be extreme. To these considerations we must add, that Major Messiter, being about to take an important command ; might naturally be entrusted with a knowledge of facts which the authorities would wish to withhold from the public as long as possible. These are the probabilities on the one side. Now let us with equal fairness state the probabilities on the other. The Bombay journals of the 27th of August, the date, of Major Messiter's letter, are wholly silent, not only as to the disaster spoken of, but as to any im mediate probability of such a disaster; and it has not hitherto happened that the Indian press has, with respect to information, been in arrear of the Government. Again, no information to confirm Major Messiter's state ment has reached the Horse Guards, the India House, or any of the offices of Government. Now, these facts, taken together, afford an im portant inference. If Major Messiter had authentic information of an event of, which the public of Bombay were ignorant—as the silence of the journals proves they were—he must have had it through an official channel ; but it is incredible that what was officially known at Bombay, before the departure of the mail, should not be officially communicated to the de partments of the Home Government, especially when the matter was of such momentous interest—of such importance indeed to the safety of the Indian empire. Major Messitcr's position too, was such, as to expose him to be easily misled : he had but just arrived, probably . b : lve u ei t .on a fe to r(-General , ee lo n2 l 8e ia r i c dt ) i t Sydney,lnboeuetowsaoittninmgwothn summoned e eodb e bt e ayi h nt is the ou r tG e .b gi , (0) that o a n e n could; td i inn possible been itis so n ignorant e o a o i t . i 'n l d s r sible from London the events of la s t wint: as to the 41st with the 44th, Candahar with Cau bul, and to allude in his letter to the de struction of Elphinstone's army, still lie wa s in circumstances to be very easily imposed upon by any fabricated or exaggerated story ; he had but just landed—he fbund his Colonel re moved suddenly for a service in the interior, and himself summoned to • follow in the same rapid manner. This looked like some extraordinary emergency—ingenuity would be busy in surmis ing what the emergency was; and we all know how soon, in such matters, loose surmise settles into grave assertion. The seeming probability, itself, that the escort of the battering train to Quettah might be seriously attacked, would sug gest the defeat of that escort as the cause of the hasty movement—it is a rule in weigh ing evidence to consider the probability of an event as injurious to the credit of any unsup ported statement of its occurrence—and thus the story might have easily obtained credit with Major Messiter, to the extent of permitting him to communicate it in a private letter. At the 'Horse Guards returns from the 41st have been received to the Ist of July. The last advices which represent the 41st as detached from the main army on the way to Quettali, are of the 29th July. SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) JEPPS V. MILBOURNE. This wa s an act i on b roug h t b y t h e plaintiff, who a house• agent, against the defendant, who is a house proprietor, to recover 71. 103. commission, for having disposed of certain houses for the defendant. It ap peared from evidence that the defendant had employed plaintiff, who had advertised the houses in question for sale, and had entered into negotiations with a gen tleman named Ford, for t; :e p urpose o f di spos i ng o f them ; thos e negotiations were broken off, and about 1 a fortnight afterwards Mr. Ford saw an advertisement for the disposal of the same houses from Messrs.

The receipt and date at the top appeared to have been written in black ink, and the undertaking in ink of a different colour. There was evidence called as to the hand-writing, and a witness, named Bowtell, deposed to having heard the defendant make certain admissions as to his liability to pay the commission. For the defence it was contended that the alleged undertaking was a forgery, which had been inserted over the receipt, for the purpose of supporting the pre sent action. The Learned SECONDARY having summed up, the Jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, re turned a verdict for the defendant. On the verdict being delivered, Mr. DOANE, on the part of the defendant, applicd to have the book impounded as a forgery. The SECONDARY thought he had no power to im pound it. It was accordingly delivered to plaintiff's attorney. Mr. C. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Doane for the defendant. BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Margaret Angus, Alexander Johnson, and Hu.th _Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing eight 51. notes, the property of Thomas Fairweather. Mr. Robinson, the attorney, conducted the pro secution. Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser in the Navy, and lived at Market Weighton, Yorkshire. On the 20th of August last he was lodging at Miss Shepherd's, No. 7, Arundel-street, Strand, where the female prisoner was a servant. On the 19th of August he placed eight 51. notes in a portmanteau in his bedroom, leaving the key in the room. The female prisoner saw him deposit the notes in his portmanteau. On the morn ing of the 21st, witness went to his portmanteau and found that his money was gone. The female prisoner also had absconded. Miss Robina Sheppard, of No. 7, Arundel-street, deposed that the female prisoner entered her service on the 6th August. She stated to witness at that time that she had come up from Manchester with two men named Johnson and Steele ; and that she was to meet them on the next day at three o'clock on Waterloo-bridge. On that day accordingly she went out, and witness saw her speaking to the two other prisoners. On the 20th August she asked to go out again for a few minutes to buy a collar. Wit ness gave her permission to go, and she never returned. She had previously stated to witness that she had no money whatever. Sarah Hudson kept a coffee-shop at 54, Fore street, Limehouse. The prisoners, Johnson and Steele, lodged with witness in the early part of August. On the '2oth August the female prisoner came to witness's house. She asked witness to go and buy a bonnet and cap for her. Witness did so, and in payment for them she tendered a Si. note. Witness went to another shop with her, where she changed another Si. note. William White, shopman to Cornelius Ilelginius Tambs, of Shadwell, proved that on the evening of the 20th of August, the three prisoners came to his master's shop, when the female purchased three black silk handkerchiefs and three pairs of stockings. She tendered a 51. note in payment. All these notes, which were produced, were iden tified as being the same as those lost by Mr. Fair weather. Several other witnesses were called, who con nected the prisoners together in a variety of private transactions. Sergeant Western proved taking the prisoners into custody—Steele, in Renfrewshire, Scotland ; John son, in London ; and Margaret Angus, in Derby ; and a letter from Steele to Johnson, indicating a knowledge of the transaction, was put in and proved to be in his handwriting. Mr. TWYFORD committed the prisoners to take their trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions. COURSE OF EX CA. Amsterdam CF. 12 9i l Ditto, at sight Rotterdam .2 U. 12 10 Antwerp l2 8 Hamburgh M.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of October 14.) SUGAR.—There has been more activity in the market for West India Muscovadoes Sugar this week, and mer chants have been less desirous,to realise; for yellow de scriptions the demand has been good, and the market has been nearly cleared of such at prices fully equal to those of last Friday, indeed the supply has been barely ample for the wants of the trade ; grey sorts have been in steady request, and brown have secured a fair sale at the former currency. To-day there was an .increased demand for British Plantation Sugar, and merchants dizplayed firmness. Yellow descriptions were in brisk request, and the supply at market being short, buyers vl ere compelled to pay an advance on last Friday's rates of 6d per cwt. ; brown and grey kinds met with a godd sale at full prices. The total purchases for the week are 2,500 hhds and trs, and the market closed with a healthy appearance. This afternoon at public sale 87 hhds Barbadoes Sugar went with much spirit at an advance on 'last sale's rates of is to Is 6d per cwt—fine yellow fetched 68s 6d, good 66s to 68s, mid 64s to 65s 6d, and low mid 62s 6d to 633 per cwt. REFINED.—The market for refined goods was in a dull state in the early part of the week, and prices further gave way 6cl to ls, but during the last few days buyers have come forward more freely ; brown melting Lumps 70s 6d a 71s Gd, brown patent 72s a -735, standard Lumps 74s Gd a 755, `riders com mon 73s 6:1 to 74s 6d, mid 75s to 765, good 76s 6d, to 77s 6d, fine 78s to 82a ; Hamburgh loaves, common 74s to 765, mid 76s 6d to 77s 6d, good 78s to 80S, and fine 81s to 85s per cwt.

In other articles no varia tioll.: MAURITIUS.—The demand has been excellent for yellow descriptions, which have commanded full rates ; brown sorts have been in good request—fine yellow at 655 to 65s 6d, good Gls Gd to 645, good mid 60s to 61s, mid 56s to 59s Gd, low 54s 6d to 55s Gd, good to fine brown 51s 6d to 545, mid 50s to 51s, low 49s to 49s 6d, and black 40s per cwt. This afternoon there was no public sale, but privately several inquiries existed, and stiffer rates were paid for yellow sorts. EAST INDlA.—'Phis afternoon the trade were free buyers of Bengal, and 2,000 bags 100 boxes at auction were sold at 6d per cwt advance ; low dingy white went at 645, ]ow yellow 59s 6d, mid 62s to 62s 6d, low damp 57s to 63s 6.1, very dark brown in boxes 455, mid 48s per cwt. _ . _ • The only parcel offered at auction this afternoon was 30 casks Jamaica, which sold at very full rates ; good mid colory fetched 121 s to 1235, mid 102 s to 109 s, low mid 955, and good and fine ord 60s to 85s per cwt.

To-day merchants submitting to a further reduction at the public sales of id per lb. for Congou, and 24 for Pouctong tempted the trade to operate more freely, and the proportion sold was larger than yesterday, but the biddings were languid, and the market has still a dull appearance ; in the value of green Tea there was no fur theracfhtearnagoeo.n, only 10,000 packages passed the sale to this 10,000 packages have been actually sold.

ALFRE D S HAW . - This lady's friends having in the Times contradicted —though in somewhat ambiguous terms—the paragraph . which appeared in our Review last week, respecting her origin and pro gress, we have reerred to the , correspondent : who furnished us with the information, and from him we I.larn, that the statement in question appeared in the iliusical Mild of the 22d. August, 1839, as extracted from a letter of the European ; correspondent of the have elapsed since publi c it y ,w,a ,given to this para graph Everung Star ; and,, a lth oug h. upwards Of three years in the English and American journals, we have never heard, until now, that any denial of its accuracy has been attempted. We did precisely what the daily papers have done with us—copied a paragraph from another journal; cheerfully seizing that oppor tunity of passing a just eulogium upon the talents and accomplishments of the subject of it. We have not been furnished by Mrs. Shaw with the means of refuting the paragraph which has attained so much publicity by its simple transfer to our columns; nor has any letter yet appeared in the daily journals from her or from any of her friends (except anonymous ones) denying the 'statement. We can, however, assure Mrs. Shaw that, in reprinting the paragraph which has created so much unnecessary indignation amongst her friends, we had no desire to wound her feelings, as the complimentary remarks with which we prefaced the statement will sufficiently testify. Mazzinghi, the celebrated composer, used to boast of his having, when a boy, swept out and lighted the orchestra of the Italian Opera House; and the names of Eldon and of Sugden, of Lawrence and of Blizzard, with a host of others, may be cited as honourable in stances of lowly origin attaining to high eminence in this country. With regard to Mrs. Shaw's con nexions, we know them personally to be of the highest respectability, and that part of our statement of last week concerning them cannot be impeached. The father of Mrs. Shaw was for many years mess-master at the palace, and by him she was, in 1838, placed it the Royal Academy, which she quitted three yea t afterwards to visit Italy.—Draniatic and Musical Re';iew. MURDER. AND RAPE.—On Monday afternoon last, a lengthy investigation took place at Charlesworth, Derbyshire, before Thomas Manders, Esq., Coroner for the Glossop division, touching the death of Samuel Shaw, a shoemaker, aged 42, residing at Charles worth. The evidence of various witnesses went to prove the following facts :—Late on Saturday night, the Ist inst., the deceased and his wife were drinking together at a public-house at Mothram, where they fell in company with a man named James Ford, who resided in the same neighbourhood, and he proposed to accompany them home, to which they agreed. When near Hurst Clough toll-bar, about half a mile from deceased's residence, Ford began to take improper liberties with deceased's wife ; and on deceased remon strating with him, he took up a large stone and knocked the deceased down, and afterwards struck him on the head and face with it till he became insensible. He then attacked the wife in a similar manner ; and having also rendered her insensible, dragged her into a field and violated her person. During this transac tion, the deceased somewhat recovered, and walked home, he not being aware but that his wife had gone on before him. The villain having accomplished his purpose, left her; and her screams of murder having brought some persons to her assistance, they conveyed her home. Deceased was so ill from the injuries, that he was totally unable to leave his bed after that night, and ultimately died on Saturday last, in consequence of those injuries. Ford is about 24 years of age, and is a native of Lismore, in the County of Waterford, Ireland, where his parents reside. He has a wife re siding in Manchester, but no children. He was em ployed at the viaduct of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway, at Broadbottom. The Jury returned a ver dict-of " Wilful Murder" against him, and he was committed for trial. The correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette in Servia writes on the 27th u lt. that an opposition against the new order of things in that province had been already organised, although the Government had established a system of terror, in order to stifle any resistance. Every day arrests are made amongst the most distinguished families. Amongst others the two sons of the senator Mileta, who possesses considerable influence, had been imprisoned. The Opposition is composed of friends of the family of Obrenowitsch. The most perfect union now exists amongst the mem bers of that numerous family who were heretofore di vided amongst themselves. It is said that Mitschitsch is determined to wait until the Ottoman Porte and Russia have pronounced an opinion on the late events. Should their reply be favourable to Prince Michael, he will attempt a counter-revolution. The new Go vernment proposes to diminish the taxes in order to render itself popular. AFFGHANISTAN DEER.—Two of these very rare and beautiful animals are at present to be seen on board the barque Peruvian, of Glasgow, lying on the south side of the river, near the Broomielaw-bridge. They were imported, we learn, direct from Calcutta, by Captain James Black, of the Peruvian, and, we believe, they have arrived in finer condition than any importation of a similar kind ever made into this country. The animals are male and female, and al though young, are nearly as large as the deer to be met with in various parts of Scotland. They are quite domesticated, walk about the deck of the ship without evincing any alarm, and feed out of the hand of even a stranger. The prevailing colour of both the male and the female is brown, regularly and beauti fully spotted with white, but the hues are a little more lively on the coat of the former than on that of the latter. Both have have a dark stripe down the back. The male has lately cast its antlers, consequently, it is seen to less advanta g e th an if grace d with a " noble head of horns ;" but, independent of this, it evidently belongs to a race of fine. looking creatures, and one which, we think, would be well worth introducing into this country. Such an animal, we are convinced, would form an interesting variety in a Nobleman's deer-park, and a few of them sporting about would add beauty to any demesne in the country.—Glasgow Chronicle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT ; Oct. 13. HAYWARD V. LIGHTBODY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the sum of 171. is., which, as he alleged, the defendant had agreed to give him for the goodwill and fixtures of a poulterer's shop in South-street, Manchester square. Both the plaintiff and defendant are poul terers, the former having carried on his business at the premises in question, and the latter in Lambeth. Mr. Griffin appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Wilde conducted the case of the defendant. From the statements of the Learned Counsel, and the evidence on the part of the plaintiff; it appeared that he had carried on the business of a poulterer in South-street, Manchester-square, for upwards of twelve months, but finding the receipts of the business insufficient to maintain himself and family, he became anxious to dispose of it. The defendant having a second son whom he wished to set up in the business, agreed to purchase the goodwill and fixtures for the sum of 17/. 10s., paying down the sum of is. as an earnest of his intention to complete the bargain. Upon this being done, on the Saturday following, the 2d of July, the defendant's son came to the shop, and brought a quantity of poultry with him, a great portion of which he sold. He remained there on the Saturday and part of Monday, when his father came and refused to complete the contract, alleging that a list of his customers, which the plaintiff had made out, was not a correct one. The plaintiff said he should bring an action against him to which the defend an t rep li e d h e might do as he liked, and the present proceedings were then instituted. Mr. WILDE, on the part of the defendant, con tended, in the first place, that there had been no contract entered into, and that even if there had it was invalid, on account of the false representa tions of the plaintiff, and the want of consideration, the is. in question having been paid not in considera ,tion of the contract, but as part of the profits of the Saturday night's trading when the defendant's son was there. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and The Jury, after retiring for nearly half an hour, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.—Verdict for the plaintiff, 171. is.; costs, 40s. There were three other cases in the paper, but they were all struck out, in consequence of no parties appearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. ADMISSION TO ST. PAUL ' S.—Shortly after Alder man Wilson had taken his seat to-day a respectable young man applied to him for a summons against one of the door-keepers of St. Paul's under the following circumstances :—He stated that seeing an account in the newspapers that the public were admitted free from 10 to 12, he went there that morning at half. past eleven o'clock, and upon entering he was stopped, end the sum of twopence demanded. He explained to the. man that he thought it was free for any one to go in at that time. The door-keeper, however, behaved in an insolent manner, called him a pick-pocket, and ultimately forcibly ejected him from the sacred edifice. MAGISTRATE—Did he assault you ? Complainant—Yes, Sir; he laid hold of me by my coat, and pushed me violently out. MAGISTRATE—YOU may have a summons : the public are not to be thus treated with impunity. LAMBE 771- S 7 REET. Yesterday William Sheen, the infanticide, was brought betb re th e H on. G . C . N orton, on the follow ing extraordinary charge :—Mr. Gonnore Bulugh, landlord of the City of Norwich public-house, in Wentworth -street, Whitechapel, stated that, as exe cutor to the mother of the prisoner, he followed her remains from the house of her son, in Wentworth street, to the place of their interment, in a private burial-ground in Church-lane, Whitechapel. The Moment the coffin was taken out of his house, the prisoner began to conduct himself more like a mad man than anything else, and his manner in the burial ground was so excessively violent that he (witness) took off the mourning dress, and got away from the place as quick as he could. On the prisoner and the other children of the deceased returning home, the will of their mother was produced and read, and on the prisoner finding that the whole of the property had been left to his two younger brothers, he snatched up a table-knife, and brandish ing the weapon about, after using the most bitter oaths, said he would send it into the bowels of. some one present. Taylor, the street-keeper, who hap pened to be pr esen t a t the time, fortunately secured him, and prevented hi s d o i ng m i sc hi e f ; an d w it ness dreading that something serious would occur, gave the prisoner into custody. The witness added, that when the person who read the will had concluded doing so, the prisoner made a desperate effort to get hold of the document, but only succeeded in securing a part of it, which he instantly destroyed, and then it was that he grasped the knife. In his cross-examination by Mr. Hall, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, the witness said that the will of the prisoner's mother was mada by Mr. Turner, a solicitor in Mount-place, Whitechapel road, some day last week, while she was very ill, and in the absence cf her eldest son (the prisoner). The prisoner, while the funeral was going on, exclaimed that he was Bill Sheen, wet murdered his child. Mr. NORTON—Do you apprehend, from the con duct of the prisoner, and the threats he has made use of, that he will do you any personal injury ? Wit ness—l do, Sir, particularly as he is adesperate fellow. Samuel Taylor, the street-keeper of High-street, Whitechapel, spoke in affirmation of the prisoner's wild and incoherent manner at the funeral. Witness fearing some mischief, accompanied him home, and was present at the reading of the will. Saw the pri soner endeavour to snatch away the document from the hands of the reader, and also saw him take up the knife. On doing so he said he would put it into his, Taylor's, guts, but he instantly seized him, and one of the prisoner's brothers took the knife out of his hand. Police constable H 58, said that in consequence of the great crowd collected to witness the funeral of the deceased, he was desired by his superior officers to be in attendance and accompany it. The prisoner's manner at the funeral was most violent and unbearable. He was subsequently given into his custody, and on his way to the station-house he kept exclaiming, " I'm Bill Sheen, the murderer." Mr. NORTON here observed that after what had been stated he could not do less than hold the prisoner to bail. Mr. HILL said the prisoner was unfortunately a persecuted man, and when under the influence of drink, and taunted with his former conduct, was very violent. The prisoner himself admitted that his conduct, of which he had no recollection, was, he had no doubt, most disgraceful, and he much regretted he had not, when he stood in danger of it, suffered the severest penalty of the law for the crime he had been guilty of, as his life since had been a burthen to him. He so lemnly assured Mr. Norton he would dispose of his property, and go away into the country in 14 days ; upon which Mr. Norton gave him the chance of doing so, and merely bound him in his own recognizance. THE LATE MURDER AT BER MONDSEY. INQUEST ON THE MURDERER. Yesterday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, City Coroner, at Guy's Hospital, on the body of William Jessup, aged 42, late of 4, Goulston's buildings, Bermondsey New-road, who, after having murdered his wife on Monday morning last, cut his own throat, from the effects of which he died early on Wednesday morning. Henry Brampton, of No. 5., Goulston's-buildings, was examined. He stated that about five minutes before six, on Monday morning, . while in bed, he heard the cry of " murder," and on getting up he as certained that it was a boy standing at the door of No. 14, nearly opposite, who said his father was mur dering himself. Witness went in and found the man in the act of cutting his throat, while his murdered wife was lying by his side. He (witness) seized the hand which held the razor, and which he took away. As soon as that was done witness asked him how he came to do such a thing, when he replied that the Lord had done it." Thomas Jessup, the son of the deceased by a former wife, was then sworn—The witness stated that some time ago his father was much troubled on account of the bad conduct of witness's brother-in-law, who is now in Bermondsey workhouse. On Saturday evening he had told his wife that he had no longer any work, but did not appear to be distressed in mind on that account. William Legg, brother-in-law of deceased, stated that on Saturday Joseph called on him, when he ap peared very much intoxicated and excited. He fre quently got drunk, and. when in that state, or when much vexed, he was subject to fits of a violent de scription, and frequently took two or three persons to hold him. He was particularly violent towards those near hini, and would bite, or use anything he could get hold of to attack them with. The foreman to Mr. NI ayetson, leather dresser, of Weston-street, stated that deceased was discharged on Friday last from want of business. He was a par ticularly sober and steady man. If he had been alive ' he might have been at work at the present time. He was not in want, for he • had usually earned 30s. per week while in Mr. Mayetson's employ for six years past. Mr. Holman, house-surgeon, stated that deceased had divided the trachea, and the wounds were de cidedly the cause of death. Mr. Aston Key asked deceased whether he had drank before he did it, when he nodded his head in the affirmative. On Tuesday he made sips for pencil and pape-, which was handed to him, when he wrote the words—" A knife to scrape it." It was supposed he meant the pencil. From the time of his admission till four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon he was perfectly sensible, answering by signs every question that was put to him, and taking nourishment without hesitation. The Coroner then addressed the Jury at consider able length, pointing out the main features in the evidence, and the Ju r y re t urne d a ver di c t of " Tem porary nsanity." LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

Great is the change already effected by the railway in the appearance and condition of "3righton. With the exception of the coaches running to the provincial towns, and two or three which are still kept on the road to London, for the purpose . of accommodating those places, such as Horsham and East Grinstead, which lie wide of the railway, coaching is all up; the only vehicles to be met with in the streets are, as in London, cabs, flys, and omnibuses ; and a thriving trade they seem to carry on. These omnibuses are found, both by i n h a bi tants and visitors, extremely con venient and economical vehicles. Throughout the day they are to be met with in every part of the town ; and although their principal object is to convey pas sengers to and from the terminus, other parties also find their use highly advantageous. Nor is this the only aspect in which the town has assumed more of a London dress wince the opening of the railway. The crowded and bustling appearance of the streets during the past summer must have struck every one by the contrast which it has afforded to that seas on in . former years. Of the extent to which Brighton has been benefited by the railway no very accurate estimate can perhaps be formed ; but the traffic re turns, showing that between 4,0001. and 5,0001. is spent weekly in travelling to. and from the town, in dicate that the money expended here by railway pas sengers must, indeed, be immense. Mr. Faithful' re marked, at a meeting of the Commissioners held a few weeks ago, that there never was a time in Brighton when the demand for property was so great as at present.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT BY TIIEEXPLOSION OF FOUL AIR AND COMMON GAS. — Between two and three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon an astounding ex plosion took place at the lower part of Hay-hill, Berkeley-square.

One of them was rendered quite insensible, and both of them were in a dreadfully injured state. The names of the sufiereri are William Knowlton and Charles Wrottesley. THE BANK OF MANCHESTER. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We are exceedingly glad to learn that, owing to the considerate forbearance of the London agents of this Bank, and an exceedingly liberal advance from the Liverpool and Manchester District Bank, the Direc tors have been enabled to effect an arrangement for promptly meeting all the demands that can be made upon the bank in the ordinary course of business, and that the calamities arising from its present situation • are not likely to be increased by any failure in the re payment of deposits, or in providing for current bills. Under this arrangement the depositors receive their money whenever they apply for it. The District Bank, we hear, has also adopted most of the current accounts of the Bank of Manchester, so that it is un derstood no interruption will take place in the trans actions of business, and the customers of the latter bank will receive their usual accommodation. An" absurd report has been current for a day or two that Mr. Burdekin, the late manager, is absent with the connivance of the Directors ; that he is still in England ; and that his place of concealment is known. We are informed, on the best authority, that gr. Burdekin sailed in the Britannia on Tuesday, the 4th inst. ; a friend of ours ha v i ng seen hi m , an d s poken to him on board the Redwin g t en d er , w hi c h con veyed the letter bags a n d p assengers f rom th e pier. With regard to the call of 2/. p er s h are , h owev er un pleasant and incon v e n i en t it ma y b e , it i s o b v i ous that. • the Shareholders must comply w ith it ; an d, highlY .: as we blame the Dir ec t ors f or h av i ng su ffe re d the . Bank to get into its present d e pl ora bl e s t a t e , we must say, that, by the cour se th e y h ave now t a k en , they will prevent the most diSa s tr ous consequences to in' • dividual Shareholders. They will also have an oppor tunity of realising the assets of the Bank, of whatever kind, in more favourable times; thus affording a rel ;. sonable expectation of repaying to the Shareholders , not only the amount of this call, but also, should an improvement in trade take place, a further sum, w hich, it is hoped, may arise from the increased value of their property. (From the Liverpool Courier.) The rather premature explosion of the affairs of this bank, produced mainly by the absconding of its late manager, Mr. Burdekin, caused nearly as muc h consternation on 'Change, when it became known en Saturday, as though a few bomb shells had bee n thrown into the town by a hostile army. The public was quite prepared to hear the most disastrous things after the meeting of the Proprietors, which is to tak e place on Friday, so far at l eas t as t o hear that all the capital had been squandered on worthless parties the shape of loans, even to th e amoun t o f th e capitt" (780,0001.), but the absconding of Mr. Burdekin was indeed an event for which the public was quite unpre pared, especially with a large amount of funds s urrer titiously obtained from the bank, and that indepen dent of Mr. Burdekin's previously owing 17,0001. to' the concern, caused by his dabbling in shares, f°,l . which the establishment f oun d money , an d f or the only thing it holds are the now worthless share ° of the institution. Before the disclosure became public, the Direetoff and present Manager, Mr. W. Smith, had most Pd' ciously made arrangements with their London agevt l i Dennison and Co., an d th e M anc h es t er an d Li v erpool District Bank, from whom such assistance had bee n obtained as to enable the bank to meet promptly, eve/ possible claim that could be made ; and on Saturcie)4' as might be expected, the b an k was th ronge d with applicants, but all demands were me t ; i n d ee d, no ever seemed to doubt that such would be the case , when the very numerous and respectable shareholde rs of the bank were so well known. Many of the accounts will no doubt be t ra nsferre d to the District Bank. M an y persons w ill , it is wel l known, be unable to pay th e new ca ll of 21., 11 1 and to . 0 _ such parties ruin must b e th e consequence, s h o uld th e paid up capital e ve nt ua lly b e found insufficien t cover the losses already incurred. There are many Shareholders who hold f rom 500 t o 3,000 s h a res, 0 . , many of these large p ro p r i e t ors are original ones , n i` which 101. has been paid. —Liverpool Courier.
