DUD Accounts from France contain some interesting 51 . calculations as to the probable result of the grow- 5 0 lug crops throughout the empire. It is said that 2 2 0 during the last season the total quantity of grain 10 produced has been 110 millions of hectolitres, and 1 50 0 in a bad season 70 millions, w hi c h wou ld g i ve 90 25 millions as au average. From careful calculation it is estimated that the ensuing crop will exceed F i t ° . the average. But independent of the quantity dt. produced to the acre, it appears that the quality of 2 5 the wheat is such that its weight will be consider- at. ably above the ordinary proportions, so that on Lt. the whole a crop of first-rate quality is expected, s t whatever may be the extent of quantity it will yield. 10 The districts which show the smallest probable 2 5 3 return are those where the rains fell heaviest dur- st. ing the flowering season ; and those which were l g O t visited by the inund a ti ons . Th e coun t r y between st. the Garonne and the Loire is better than was ex- St gt. pected, and will likely produce about an average St. result. In the department of which Paris is the Fit. centre the yield will be very abundant ; and the 12 same in all the northern provinces. Meanwhile Jo there are continued importations of grain on an 16 i extensive scale at Marseilles, which add to the 1 6 61 favourable prospects of a good h arves t, so that 3 there is no fear of a scarcity of bread in France 20 this year. 94 - 96 7f -8 ; 97 - 98 82 - 83 [33 - 135 19 121 63 - 61 PREFERENCE SHARES. 72 - 75 6 - 7 6 - 7 97/ 98; 63 i i i 981 8 berdaeu Deben.

The commercial intelligence brought from New st Fork by the Niagara states that th e efflux of 20 10 specie to Europe continued on a large scale, and 1.2 t no diminution was immediately expected, as there l o t • was likely to be a drain on F renc h accoun t. Th e importation of merchandise was very extensive, and in the week ending the 25th inst., the latest date to which a return had been completed, the receipts exceeded the exports by $3,413,549. While this state of things lasts the shipments of specie are likely to continue, especially during the prevalence of the present European demand for gold and silver. The supply of money was ample for all purposes, and the rates of discount were without alteration. From California we learn that the mines were yielding abundantly, and the growing grain crops promised an abundant harvest. The commercial letters contain no feature of interest, most branches St . of business having remained dull. 32s - 106 i - 107, 1.07 t 107 ri I 107 6i x d 1074 i 91 all 24 al] 64 all 64 al' 10 2 St. 100 St. 1.00 6 , all 6. all 10 all 20 all 5 all 1' all St. all St. WO 5 all 10 3 St. 100 20 all St. 10': St. 100 St. 100 1 P d [oBa 109 a, 1091 8.1 101 - 103 16 - 17 ... ..'" .. 50 qt. St. The Money Market during the last day or two 1 4 has become easier, and the rates asked for the no- 25 gotiation of mercantile paper have a downward 13t 5(1 tendency, although n o quota bl e re d uc ti on h as yet st.. occurred. As far as can be judgel at present it is 1 0 not considered likely that the Bank of England 20 Directors will deem it expedient to advance the 20 minimum quotations, which a few days ago many 1 0 . parties thought extremely probable. •zu The half-yearly meeting of the Blackwall Rail- 5 3 ,• way Company was held to-day. The report stated st: that there was a general improvement in the traffic of the line and branches. The available surplus •" •• • ...' 331 - 34 . 1 id 83i 54 56 was 16,4801., out of which the directors made a dividend of Ss. per share. After some discussion the report was adopted. Taking into consideration the general disinclina tion evinced by the operators at the Stock Exchange to extensively speculate, the market for public secu rities is firmly supported, and the tendency in the quo tations is in the direction of an improvement. The Funds have been rather buoyant this morning, out business has continued dull. Consols have been 95 to 951, and 95-i % for money ; the account prices have been 951 1. The New Three per Cents. are 96 to 961, and the Reduced, 95 Bank Stock is 218 k, and India Stock is 235. India Bonds are 10s. to 14s. premium.

The English Railway Shares are firm but quiet. Most of the principal lines, including Lancashire and Yorkshire, South-Western, &c., are rather higher. Great Westerns, however, form an ex ception, being heavy.

THB LONG VAOATlON.—Yesterday the long vacation commenced, and will terminate on the 24th October, during which period proceedings in the superior courts in material stages are suspended. The origin of the va cation was to enable persons to assist in getting in the harvest, and even lawyers avail themselves of the period to get in their harvest in the shape of bills of •oats. JOINT-S' CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday an inquest was taken by Mr. W. Baker, at the Adam and Eve, Homer tcn, on the body of Emily Cass, 20, a fine young woman, who was found dead in a field at Hackney. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was a single woman, and that her brother was a tradesman in business, in High-street, Ratcliff. She bad entered as housemaid in a gentleman's family at Kingsland, and last Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, she went out. On passing a tradesman's house at Homerton she asked for a glass of water, which was given her. She then seemed in a low state of mind. Her hair was banging about her neck, and her bonnet was disordered. She was subse quently found in a retired part of Amherst-fields, amidst some high grass and furze, under the following circum stances :—Mr. Soyer, a dairyman, was passing across the fields with his cows, when one of them suddenly left the herd. After going some distance she stopped, and made such unusual signs by raising her body and stretching out her head as to induce Mr. Soyer to go and see what was the occasion of it. He then observed the deceased, upon which he called a policeman. De ceased was not sensible, but she was taken to the work house, and a surgeon was sent for, but by the time he arrived life was extinct. Deceased's pockets were searched, when a song called " Fatherless Fanny was discovered. The body was subsequently opened, upon which the cause of death was ascertained to be effu , ion on the brain, which it was stated might have been brought on by excitement. She exhibited no signs of external violence having been received, except by the fall. Verdict, "Natural death." 100 100 100 20 .11 lA.qatralaAr....,. 12i Rank of Egypt Bank of London Sri. Col.

REFUSAL TO PAY CAB FARE.—Adiriira Collier was summoned before Mr. Alderman Carter by Wm. Poile, cab driver, No. 10,243, for refusing to pay his lawful Complainant said he was taken off the stand at Gros venor-gate to go to 63, Mount-street, where he took up a lady, a little girl, and some luggage. From thence he went as directed, to 16, Halfmoon-street, where he took up another lady and little girl, and some more luggage, so, that he bad in all three persons to charge for and sixteen packages of luggage outside the cab. He waited a quarter of an hour in Mount-street and half an hour in Halfmoon-street. From that place he drove his passengers and their luggage to the London Bridge wharf, where the ladies got out with their luggage, and he then demanded his fare. The first lady he took up told him he must wait until another lady came to the wharf. Complainant remonstrated because his time was precious, but as he could not help himself he remained twenty minutes on the wharf till ordered off, and then he had to take his horse and cab to a public-house and get a man to look after it. After waiting about an hour and a quarter, the defendant and a lady came to the wharf in a carriage, and then he understood he was to pay him his fare. He knew the admiral very well, and if the lady he took to the wharf had told him the admiral was to have paid him, he would have called at his house for the fare. The admiral's lady offered him 2s. 6d., but he demanded 7s. 6d.—viz., distance, 2s. ; 9 packages, is. 6d. ; and waiting 1 hours, 3s. 6d. They then offered him 3s. 6d., and at last gave him 4s. 6d., refusing the other 3s. He told the admiral be should summons him. After that he went to his house, and whilst speaking to th e servant, the admiral called to him over the stairs, " Get out you d— swindling son of a b—h." (Loud laughter.) The admiral denied that the complainant had waited so long as he had said, and that he was not civil. Alderman Carter ordered the balance, 3g., to be paid, with 53. loss of time, and 3c fur the summons. The admiral paid the money and retired. place, anti a EcufEle, during which several blows were received by various persons. Mr. Broughton—ls the child that was christened alive ? Witness—Yes, sir. It was taken away by a woman. The witness further stated that he was forced to obtain b3sistance in order to apprehend the prisoners, because as he was going upstairs he was told it would be dangerous to go into the room, which was crowded. Some bad pokers, some tongs, some shovels, and others had basins, plates, fruit-pots, &e., with which they were striking each other. GUILDHALL, Mr. Broughton—Was either of the prisoners in the possession of any implement ? Witness—The female prisoner bad a poker in her band. Mrs. Lynch—But I did not use it, sir. The witness added that it required three or four po licemen to convey the male prisoner to the station-house, as he made some resistance. ASSAULTING THE POLICE —Two men, strangers to each other, named Macdonald and Heelis, were charged before Mr. Alderma❑ Sidney, the former with violently assaulting the police, and the latter with obstructing them in their duty, and also with assaulting them. It appeared, from the evidence of police-constable 235, that about six o'clock last night Macdonald wa• turned out of the City Arms, Snow-hill, and got into a quarrel with an artilleryman. He seized him by the collar, tearing down his coat and shirt, and held these so firmly that the officer, in endeavouring to make him let go his hold, the prisoner tore away a piece of the artilleryman's shirt. The prisoner was so violent that it took five officers to convey him to the police station. Whilst witness was engaged separating the prisoner and the artilleryman Heelis came up with a book and pencil to take the numbers of the police, and pulled down witness's collar the better to take his num ber. The prisoner Heelis was much excited, and made frequent appeals to the crowd against the police, and in consequence there was a general cry of " shame " raised against them. He followed the prisoner M'Do nald and the police to the station, and on the way as saulted police constable 247, and otherwise misconduct ed himself and obstructed the police in the discharge of their duty. After the prisoner M'Donali was lodged in the station house Heelis was taken into custody. M'Donald was very violent, and struck police constable 235 a severe blow on the mouth, cutting his lip open, and also kicked him and some of the other officers. Heelis said that he was induced to interfere in conse quence of the improper manner in which the police were treating M'Donald. He denied that he incited the people against the police, or that he wished to obstruct th e m in the discharge of their duty. M'Donald said he had just returned from the Crimea, where he received a shell -wound in the head. He had also lost his right lung, and in consequence of which he had been discharged from the 44th Foot. He knew the artilleryman in question at Balaklava ; and as he was having some words with another man, he (prisoner) was interfering to make peace between them when the police name up and interfered. He said the police acted basely towards him. The male prisoner was sent for seven days to the House of Correction, and the female prisoner was fined 53., or in default seven days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF CRUELTY TO A CHlLD.—James Pita)); a respectably-dressed man, was brought before Mr. Bea don, on a charge of cruelty to his son, a little boy aged 9 years. It appeared from the evidence that the boy had been sent on several errands by his father with cash to pay for goods, when be stopped away from home and spent the money. On Sunday morning last the prisoner sent him with eighteen-pence to pay for the cleaning of a hat, when he returned and stated that he had paid for it. Subsequently the prisoner ascertained that the boy had told a lie, and had squandered the money away with other children. The prisoner was asked to speak the truth, when he still persisted that he had paid the hat ter, which was false. The prisoner then sent the mother for a cane, and beat the boy about the body and arms. The neighbours interfered, and the boy's back was ex hibited when the prisoner was taken into custody. The magistrate saw the condition of the boy's back, which bore several marks of severe beating. The prisoner (crying)—l am very sorry that I marked him, but your worship it was the first time I ever did ID. Ho is a bad boy, aod I really du nut know what to do with him. Mr. Beadon—A father has a right to correct his chil dren, but it must be done without any undue violence. It is clear that he is a very bad boy, and he ought to be punished for his dishonest habits. You must enter into your own recognisance to keep the peace for six months. The prisoner was subsequently discharged. THAMES. CLAIMS FOB SEA WAGES.—Mr. May, the second mate •f the ship Kenilworth, lying in the London Docks, and six mariners belonging to the same vessel, applied to Mr. Selfe under the following circumstances. The ship, which has made a voyage to Bombay and the Mauritius, arrived in this port 15 days ago, and the crew were immediately discharged, but owing to the vessel being heavily mortgaged they had not been able to •btain their wages. The captain had made four appoint ments with them at the shipping-office, but could not obtain any money from the owners. Nine of them bad taken out summonses, and the wages were ordered to be paid by Mr. Carrie, of the Clerkenwell Police•court, who presided in the Thames Police-court on Saturday. Howland, 89 H, an ofsc•r of the court, said he served the order on the captain yesterday morning, and he said he could not get any money to pay the men. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who was retained by some of the complainants, said that he believed the owners of the ship were not bankrupts, though in diffi culty. Mr. Selfe—That is no matter. The ship is liable, and I shall issue my distress warrants. The mortga gees had better pay the wages, or they will be put to considerable expense. It appears to me that it is a very hard case on these men, who have been kept here for some time, and put to considerable loss and incon venience. Mr. Young--The magistrate ordered 425. 6d. costs to the mate, and 18 days' pay to each seaman as costs. Mr. Salle—l am very glad of it. Mr. Young—And I understand that the captain, to whom 3001. is owing, and the carpenter, who claims 901., were suing for their wages. Mr. Selfe—There is another summons against Capt. Bristow ; when is that to be heard, and what is it for 1 Howland—That is for refusing to give a seaman a proper account in the form prescribed by the Merchant Shipping Act, and is set down for hearing to-morrow. Mr. Selfe—Where is the ship? Howland—ln the London•dock. Mr. Selfe—Let the distress warrants issue and Seize the ship immediately. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Alderman Sydney fined Ileelis 10s., or 14 days' imprisonment, and M'Donald 255., or five weeks' impri. sonment. Both prisoners were locked up. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PAPER ON THE RIVER THAMES. —Jahn Bullwant, Alfred Dale, Richard Smith, and Arthur Grintwood were brought before Mr. Combe, charged with being concerned in stealing a number of bundles of paper, worth nearly 2001., from barges on the River Thames, the property of John Drake, lighterman, Wapping.

Lambe and Dards, lighterman, 48, Lower Thames-street, from a barge off Alderman's Wharf. Mr. Binns appeared for Grimwood. Inspector Bridges, Thames police, said that, on the 2Gth ult., 18 bundles of paper were stolen from the barge Unity, off Miller's-wharf, and on Saturday last he received information that 34 bundles were stolen from the barge Perseverance, at the same wharf. In consequence of what he heard, witness, accom panied by Sergeant Hewlett, 29 M, proceeded on the previous morning to Leighton-grove, a place leading out of High-street, Borough, where Bull want lived. They saw him in his house, an-1 Dale and Grimwood at the door with a truck load of reams of paper, which they had removed from Bullwant's house and were abo*t to take away. Grimwood and Dale were apprehended by Sergeant Hewlett ; after which they entered Bullwant's house and found the outside wrappers which had been taken off the paper in the truck, and they were identified as having been stolen from the barge on Saturday morning last. Grim wood said he had purchased the paper of Bullwant, but . he had received no invoice. The paper was all removed to the station-house, as well as the prisoners Bullwa,at, Dale, and Grimwood, and on the way there witness saw Smith, when ho took him into custody for being con corned in the same robberies, as well as for stealing six- j teen bags of sugar from a barge on the 3d of July. His I three companions in that robbery were convicted at the July Surrey sessions, one of whom was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. . _ Sergeant Hewlett, 29 M, said that he accompanied last witness, and after the prisoners were locked up h• went to Grimwood's house, 23, Brent's-court, High street, Borough, and there found 18 reams of paper. Grimwood told him he had purchased it of Bullwant. Grimwood assisted witness in removing that paper, and he told him that he bad paid 275. per cwt. for it to Bull want. The latter, as well as Grim wood, called them selves waste-paper dealers. John Cleames, wharf clerk at Miller's•wharf, identi fied the wrappers produced by the marks as having covered 34 bundles of paper, value 701., stolen from the barge Perseverance on the Bth inst. They came from Scotland, consigned to dealers in London, on the 24th of July. Eighteen bundles were also stolen from a barge at their wharf. The prisoners were remanded for a week.

ROBIING MARKET GARDENERS.—This morning a young man, named fames West, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a seive of cucumbers, the property of Mr. Fitch, of Fulham. From the evidence of the police constable, it appeared that of late a regular system of robbing the growers at tending Covent Garden Market had been carried on by a number of bad characters, who manage to make off with any description of property they can lay their hands on while the owner is engaged serving his custo mers. A few days ago, the prisoner was observed to go up to the stand of Mr. Fitch, and deliberately carry off a seive of cucumbers. On the of taking him into custody, he said he had paid for the property, but on his (the officer) insisting that he should return with him to Mr. Fitch, he refused. lie was then taken into custody. Mr. Fitch said the cucumbers were his property, and he had not sold any on the morning of the robbery. Had he done so the prisoner would have had in his pos session a ticket for the hire of the basket which he would be able to produce. The officer said he had made inquiries into the pri soner's character, and he found that he had been em ployed for some time in the neighbourhood of Bermond sey as a potman, and was always considered to be an honest man. The prisoner denied the robbery, and said he bought the goods. Mr. Henry said that statement was denied by the owner of the property. As he was not known to the police he should only sentence him to three weeks' im prisonment. MARYLE BONE.

Before his execution at York, on Saturday, William Dove made a long and most extraordinary confession to his solicitor, Mr. J. M. Barret, which that gentleman reduced to writing, but objected to furnish it to the re porters until after the execution. This confession is as follows ; but it may be useful to explain that the man Harrison spoken of is a fortune-teller, of Leeds, who has for a long period exercised a most pernicious influ ence over the mind of Dove : "I wish to repeat that the statement which I have previously made to you respecting Harrison is strictly true. Harrison has, during the time that I was at the farm at Bramham, and also when I lived at Normantern, and afterwards at Leeds, frequently told me that I should never be happy until my wife was dead. This was when I was pressing Harrison to put a spell upon her, so that I might live happily with her. About the end of last year, or the beginning of this, I was in Harrison's warehouse, opposite his house, and he then told me that belladona could not be found in the human body after death, particularly if it was in a crystallised state, and he then offered to make me some, but I did not request him to do so. At that interview he stated very positively that I should never be happy until she was out of the way. I bad no desire at that time to get rid of try wife. My belief was that Harrison was possessed of some super natural power, and that he could, through some influence, compel her to live happily with me. He kept continually telling me that I should not be happy until she was out of the way. I asked him in the month of February if he could do anything to get her out of the way, and he said be would lay her on a sick bed, and she would never get better. The first strychnia was got, as mentioned byone in my former statement, on the 10th day of February last, and for the purpose of killing cats. It was not got for any other purpose, and at that time I never thought of poisoning my wife. The whole of the strychnia obtained on the 10th day of Feb. was used for killing eats. The second quantity of strychnia was got by me, I believe, on the Thursday or Friday following, but I won't be sure as to the day. The first and second quantities of strychnia were kept in the raz it-case, which was placed on the mantelpiece in my bedroom. I did not when I got the second quantity of strychnia think of poisoning my wife. I should not have got the second quantity of strychnia but for the wish expressed by Mr. Morley's assistant to have the skin of a cat for a tobacco pouch. I had before I his given a book to Harrison, and on the day that Elizabeth Fisher left our house I had considerable un pleasantness with my wife about Harrison having that book. She bad a bad opinion of Harrison, and I think feared him. I had told her when at Norrnanton that he had predicted her death at the end of February. On the Saturday after Elizabeth Fisher left I took the paper containing the strychnine out of the razor case, arid put it in my waistcoat pocket. I then went to my mother's house. In the afternoon I had previously called at Mr. Morley's for my wife's medicine. It was an effer vescing draught in two bottles. At my mother's that evening I took the cork out of one of the bottles and touched the wet end of it with the strychnia. I then put the cork in the bottle vain and shook up the draught. Before this I ought to have stated that I had during the Saturday afternoon put a very small quantity of the strychnia—perhaps half of a quarter of a grain —in some jelly which my sister Jane brought from my mother's. My wife took a spoonful, and made a remark about how bitter it wag, and she then requested Mrs. Fisher to take some. She did, and then remarked it was bitter as aloes. I then took a spoonful, but did not taste the bitternees. I then stated I did not find the bitterness, and requested Mrs. Fisher to taste again, but she refused. I then took a second spoonful and tasted the bitterness. I did not swallow any. The remainder was thrown away at that time. It was after this that I went to Mr. Morley's and my mother's. On that Saturday evening my wife took some of the draught in Mrs. Whitham's presence. Mrs. Whitham tasted it, and stated that it was bitter. The draught was not shaken that night before it was taken. My wife did not suffer from the effects of it at all. On the way from my mother's towards home on that Saturday I threw the remainder of the strychnia away. I cannot toll you the feelings of my mind when I put the strychnia into the jelly and into the mixture. I cannot describe them. I did not think at the moment when I put it i❑ as to its effects or consequences. On the Sun day evening following, which was the 24th day of Feb., I went into Mr. Morley's surgery, and there being no person in at the time I took perhaps ten grains of strychnia and folded it in a paper. When I got home I placed it in the stable. On the Monday morning I gave my wife her draught (the effervescing mixture) about half-past nine, and at ten o'clock she had the attack as mentioned by Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Wi tham. At the time my wife took that draught she com plained very much of the bitterness, and added that she would tell Mr. Morley about it. There were three or four doses left in the bottle after that draught was taken, and I broke the bottle in my wife's presence, fearing that Mr. Morley might taste it. The mixture was changed on the Monday. The mixture then given was very bit ter. On the Tuesday night, or 'Wednesday morning, I applied the wet end of the cork of the medicine bottle to the strychnia, as before. I think there might be from half a grain to a grain of strychnia on the cork when I put it in the bottle. I shook the mixture up. There was then only two or three doses in the bottle. Ido not remember my wife having any attack on the Wed nesday. She took her mixture on that day. On the Thursday I got another bottle of medicine from Mr. Morley's, and I again applied the wet end of the cork to the strychnia as before. About the same quantity of strychnia adhered as on the former occasion. The last dose of that mixture was taken o❑ Friday night, at te❑ o'clock, and my wife was taken seriously ill in half an hour, but she had no arching of the back on that oc- Nion that I recollect. Mr.. Fisher is mistaken, I think, on that point, but her statement in other respects is true, I believe. On that Friday night I got another bottle of medicine from Mr. Morley's. This mixture was directed to be taken four times a day. I did not put any strych nia into that mixture or medicine, and I did not put qty upon the cork of the bottle. Mrs. Witham gave a dose out of that bottle on the afternoon of Saturday. The strychnia was in the stable where I had first placed it, and there was no strychnia in the razor case on that day, nor during any part of the week. I was drinking at Sut cliffe's public-house on that Saturday, and I was more or less affected by liquor all the afternoon and evening. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon I went into the stable and took out about a grain and a half of strychnia out of the paper, and put it in another paper, which I placed in my waistcoat pocket. I put that strychnia into the wine glass which contained a little water—l believe the water which was left in the glass by Mrs. Witham, after giving my wife the third dose in the after noon; but I have no recollection as to the time when I put the strychnia into the glass. I gave the mixture in the evening in the presence of Mrs. Witham and Mrs. Wood, as stated by them in their evidence. I poured the mixture into that wine glass which contained the water and strychnia. I did not put the strychnia into the wine glass in the presence of Mrs. Witham and Mrs. Wood, or either of them. I know that I put the strychnia in be fore, but I cannot remember how long, before giving the medicine. I did not, when I gave the medicine on the occasions mentioned, think of the consequences of giving it; but when I saw my wife suffering from the attack on the Saturday night, it flashed across my mind that I had given her the strychnia, and that she would die from its effects. " I was muddled before this, and didn't know what I was doing. When the thoughts of her death crossed my mind, I immediately regretted what I had done, and I believe if Mr. Morley had came in that moment I should have told him what I had given her, so that he might have used means to restore her. I cannot disguise the anguish I felt when I returned from Mr. Morley's and found my wife dead. " Palmer's case first called my attention to strychnia, but I never should have thought of using that or any other poison for the purpose of taking my poor wife's life but for Harrison ' who was continually telling me that I should never have any happiness until my wife was out of the way. I felt my situation immediately after seeing my poor wife's corpse, and I then feared a post-mortent examination taking place within 24 hours after death, as I understood that Professor Taylor had stated that strychnia could not be detected after that number of hours had expired. Harrison had told me that I should marry a lady for my second wife having auburn hair, and light complexion, as I before stated to you. I did think that when my wife should die that I would make Mrs. Witham an offer of marriage at a suitable time. I did not think that what I was doing would cause my wife's death, and I did not give the strychnia with a view to de-troying my wife to get Mrs. Witham. Mrs. Witham always treated, me as a neighbour, and no more, and I wish to add that I believe her evidence against rae is strictly true. " I have not the slightest recollection of my wife ever abating that she wished her friends to have a post mortem examination, as stated by Elizabeth Fisher, and I do not believe that my wife ever made any such statement to Elizabeth Fisher, or any other person. I once told my wife when she was ill, some weeks before her deatb, that if she died there should be a post-mortem examination. I said this because she told me her friends would blame me if anything happened to her. She immediately ob jected, and requested that I would never consent to such an examination, and added, uncle Bishop will see that you have not one.' " I continued to believe in Harrison's power for some weeks after I was committed to prison. I believed that e had the power to save me until June or July. On the day when I wrote the letter commencing 'D ear Devil,' I was in a f l o ci e w i despondingngl during and that day s thought tate . I can not of c ommitting suicide. Enr The instrument w hi c h was foun d describeupon me on the search made that day would have been probably used for that purpose. In the evening of tha day I wrote that letter, but I cannot tellryou my feel ings at that time. I did feel certain that the devil would come to me that night according to my request. I wrote that letter, but never intended it to be seen by any per son. When they commenced to search me for the in strument I tried to conceal the letter, hut the deputy governor accidentally saw it and took it away. I did not write that letter in consequence of any suggestion from any person or persons, and never mentioned that letter, er the search which had been made on that 24th April, to Mr. Barret, my attorney, until within two or three days of my trial, and then only because he stated that he had received information on the subject on the Satur day before my trial. I have only to add that the verdict of the jury was just and correct, and that I freely forgive every person who has been concerned against me, as hope to be forgiven. " WILLIAM DOVE.
