ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) John Charles Franz, 24, a German, described as a shoe• maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Martha Halliday. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine was specially retained with Mr Robinson to conduct the prosecution. The Hon. G. Den. man, Q.O , also specially retained, through the instrumen• tality of the Saxon Embassy, with Mr. W. M. Best, de. 111 fended the prisoner. • • This case occupied the court a great many hours yester day, and was adjourned till to-day, but as the facts have all been gi7en very fully, and very recently in the report of the proceedings before the magistrates and the coroner, it will le unnecessary to give the evidence in detail. Tie unfortunate deceased was an elderly woman, and .was the wife of a labouring man who is in the service of Mr. Alcock, M.P. It appeared that during the absence of the rector she was employed to take charge of the rectory at Kingswood, near to which place Mr. Alcod resides, and she was so engaged at the time she met her death, which was on the evening of the 10th of June last. There appeared to be no doubt that, by whom soever the crime was committed, the object in the first in • stance was ?lunder, and that although in carrying out that object the life of the deceased was sacrificed, all the facts v ent to show that this event was not contemplated by them. The murder appeared by the evidence to have been corn mitied on the evening of the 10th of June, but no discovery tcok place until the following morning, when, upon an alarm being given, some persons belonging to the neighbourhood obtained access to the house and found the deceased dead. She was in her bedroom, in her night clothes, and 'cad evidently been disturbed in her sleep by the intruders. Ths cause of death was suffocation. It appeared that a stocking had been forced down her throat so violently, as to carry along with it her tongue, that death must have taken place almost immediately, and it appeared that in order to avoid the possibility of her giving any alarm her hands and her feet also had been tied with a piece of strong cord. No property, or at all events only some articles of trifling value, appeared to have been removed from the premises, and the suggestion to account for this was; either that the robbers were disturbed, or that, finding the unhappy woman was dead, they became alarmed, and precipitately retreated, without carrying their original object into effect,but upon the room where the body was found being searched there was found a pocket-book containing papers that had evidently belonged to a foreigner, whose name was represented to be Joha Charles Franz, and also a letter showing that he had made an application to Mdlle. Tiet jens, the eminent vocalist, for assistance to enable him to return to his own country, and that she had, very kindly, di rected him to make an application to the proprietor of an hotel in London, who, on her behalf, would have assisted him to carry out his wishes. This formed an important point of evidence in support of the prosecution. The evi dence in support of the charge against the prieoner con sisted of a number of minute circumstances, - all of which, according to the theory of the prosecution, tended to show that he was one of the parties concerned in the murder. The first portion of the evidence was brought forward with a view to show that on the same day the murder was committed the prisoner and another man, both of whom were recognised as foreigners, were seen in the neighbourhood where the crime was committed, and evidence was given that on the same day the murder was committed the prisoner and another man went to the shop of a tradesman at Reigate, which is about four miles from Kingswood, and pachased a ball of string. The prisoner was positively sworn to as being one of the two men who made the purchase, and it was proved that the string with which the hands cad feet of the unfortunate woman had been tied by her murderers corresponded exactly with the string so purchased. The evidence then went to show that the prisoner raid hit companion had wandered to London where they took up their abode at a lodging-house at the east end of the town, the prisoner giving a false name. Here the parties seemed to have separated, and nothing more was heard of the prisoner until several days afterwards, when he was taken into custody by a constable of the City of London police named Underwood upon the charge of being secreted in a house in Old Broad-street with intent to commit felony ; and it appeared that he then gave the name of Saltzmann. Of ourse, by this time, the subject of the murder had become hatter of notoriety, and a reward had been offered in the Police Gazette for the discovery of the murderers, and a description was given of their persons, and a suspicion, it appeared, a t once arose that the prisoner was one of the men concerned in the murder, and alter one or two examinations, the wit nesses were brought town from Reigate, and he was iden tified by them and committed for trial. After the prisoner had been removed to heigate, in consequence of information received by the police, inquiries were made by them with regard to the pocket. look that had been found in the room of the murdered woman, and it appeared that the prisoner at length admitted he had given a false name when he was first taken into custody, and that his real name was Franz, and had at the same time said that his papers had been taken from him, and it also appeared that he had made the same statement previously to his being given into custody. He did not seem to have, at any time, made an admission that the papers that were found in the pocket-book belonged to him, and he accounted for having given a false name when he was first arrested by stating that he had heard that a reward had been offered for the apprehension of a man of the same name as his own, and he was afraid that he should be supposed to be the guilty party. There were a variety of other little circumstances that were relied upon by the prosecution as showing the guilt of the prisoner, and Mdlle. Tietjens was called as a witness to prove the circum stances under which the application for relief was made to her, and to identify the document that was found in the bed-room of the deceased, but she was unable to prove any thing that tended to show that the prisoner was the person by whom the application was made, and the probability p e murderared to it be was really concerned in the was tha h t is if c t o h prisoner m e panionwho applied to thi s l a dy. On the reassembling of the Court this morn i ng , Mr. Denman, Q.C., in an able speech, a dd resse d th e j ury a , for the prisoner. He contended that the evidence adduced for the prosecution entirely failed to colnect the prisoner with the murder, and that the prisoner's statement as to his losing his papers had been borne Ott by the evidence for the prosecution.

A CANDIDATE FOR A REFORMATORY.—John Martin, a very small boy aged 9 years, who did not appear so old, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a shilling and two pieces of crochet work value ss. the pro perty of his parents. Edward Martin, a dock labourer, of No. 38, Grove-street, St. George-in-the-East, said that the boy was his son, and he was very sorry to state that, young as he was, he was a most incorrigible thief, and that some time ago he stole a shilling and expended it among his companions. For that theft he was forgiven on his promise to behave better. On Tuesday week the boy stole another shilling an d h is mother's crochet work entrusted to her, and disposed of it at one of those infamous nuisances called "having shops" for a shilling. The value of the work was ss. He did not know what to do with the boy, who had been away from his home a week, and he was afraid he had been in very bad company. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner made a promise to be a good boy when he was before him sews time ago, but he had gone from bad to worse, and there \vas no hope of his amendment unless he was sent to a place where he would receive good advice and a vigorous training. H e sentenced the prisoner to be detained for three years in the Industrial School at Feltham, and that his father should pay ls. 6d. per week towards his maintenance there. The prisoner's fathei said he had been out of work four weeks. _ Mr. Woolrych—l can't help it; ls. 3d. per week is a very small sum. You must pay it. TOBACCO SMIJGGLING.—Josoph Crocler, the cook of the ship Epsom, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with smuggling 41 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco. Inspector Alston, of the Thames police, said he met the prisoner in Old Gravel-lane, and as he appeared to be very bulky, he stopped him and asked him if he had anything about him liable to duty, to which he replied " Nothing," and was running away when he was stopped and searched, an 41 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco was found con cealed on his person. It was fastened round the prison e r' s body. The tobacco was liable to a duty of 3s. sd. per lb. Mr. Woolrych sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of £2 55., the simple value of the tobacco, and the duty thereon.

By order of the Council, (Signed) IN ESTRUM: C., Chairman. Council Chamber, Lincoln's Inn, July 31, 1861. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The show of Euglish wheat on offer here to-day, was only moderate. For good and fine samples, the demand ruled steady at full prices ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state at barely previous currencies. New Talavera wheat was sold at from 70s to 72s per quarter, With Foreign wheat we were well supplied, but there being a demand for shipment to France, importers were firm, and prices were supported. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. Barley met a dull sale, at barely stationary prices. New malting qualities are quoted at from 33s to 463 per quarter. Malt moved off slowly on former terms. Good and fine oats sold steadily at full prices, but inferior parcels were a dull sale at Gd per qr. less money. Both beans and peas ruled dull at drooping currencies. New grey peas are worth 38s to 40s per qr. Fine marks of flour were steady in prices, but medium qualities were rather difficult of disposal.

The screw steamship Great Britain, Gray, com mander, from Melbourne, on the 30th of May, ar rived yesterday afternoon, after a passage of 65 days. The had 540 passengers, including 23 infants and Mr. G. V. Brooke, the tragedian ; and 62 boxes of gold, containing about 82,1950 z.— £328,000, on freight. The mail steamer at Benares had cleared at Mel bourne for Point de Galle on the 25th of May, with 48,8250 z. of gold. The papers we have been able to obtain are only to the 29th of May, and the news is of the most meagre description. The Legislative Council at Melbourne had ap propriated £75,000 for the supply of water to the gold fields. At Melbourne business continued with out improvement, and orders for the country trade were extremely limited. Stocks of flour were ex tremely limited. Stocks of flour were heavy. Sugars continued very firm, and in full demand at full quotations. The Bendigo Zdvertiser reports that the quantity gold sent to Melbourne by escort had been decreasing to an alarming extent for a few weeks. It attributes the falling off, how ever, to one of the the temporary lulls incidental to gold mining. _ _ _ In the Geelong labour-market there had been an active inquiry for all kinds of ordinary la bourers. Some classes of bush mechanics were also in fair request ; other classes in light demand. Adelaide advices of the 27th May report the markets quiet. Flour, £l5 10s. to £IG 55.

The Hungarian Councillor of the Chancery, Ed ward Zsedenyi, drew up an answer to M. beak's ad dress, trying to get a basis for the reconciliation with Hungary. He expressed the view that the union between Hungary and the hereditary pro vinces was something more than a personal union ; still he admitted that since the German hereditary provinces belonged to the German confederation, Hungary must have an entirely independent administration. He declared that the diploma of the 20th October is to be the means by which the interests of all the monarchy are to be reconciled to the old institutions of Hungary, and therefore, ac knowledging the formal validity of the laws of 1848, he summoned the Diet to revise those laws which break the unity of the army and hinder the supreme direction of the imperial finances, and for that purpose he insisted that a deputation of the Hungarian Diet should enter into a conference with a deputation of the Council of the Empire on that point. The draft acknowledged further the legality of the union with Transylvania, and promised that immediate steps should be tall en to call together the Transylvanian members, insisting at the same time on a bill regulating the rights of the different races as regards the official use of their languages. Their draft would scarcely have satisfied the Hungarians ; still it might perhaps have given a basis for further negotiations. The German ministers, however, found even these concessions as they call them—we should have called them usurpations—far too fargoing, and after hav ing read the draft in the German translation, had it altered by the pen of M. Perthales, in the sense of Austrian centralisation, forgetting that not only some arguments but even several of the laws quoted by M. Zsedenyi, came into a jarring opposition with the new rescript. They did not even take the pains to see whether the laws were correctly quoted, and allowed some ridiculous mistakes to creep into the imperial answer, in which, for instance, by a cleri cal error, a law is quoted as proving the real union between Austria and Hungary, which simply speak s of the punishment of incendiaries. Baron Vay, of course, refused to sign the altered draft. But Count Forgach did not refuse to sign it ; his name was the price of the chancellorship. The rescript was re ceived with indignation and contempt. Count Apponyi could not believe that it was possible to send such an answer to the Hungarian Diet, and telegraphed to Vienna to ask whether he should really publish it; the reply convinced him that com mon sense had departed from the councils of the Emperor. The Diet adjourned after the publication for a few days to discuss the further proceedings in secret conference, and the two parties, after having heard the advice of Deak, elected each seven members to meet in a preparatory way for the purpose of concerting the answer to be given to the Imperial Council. The moderate party de puted Count Julius Andrassy, who was, in 1849, ambassador of the independent government at Con stantinople, and later for many years an exile in England and France ; Gorove, the secretary of the National Convention at Debreczin, and likewise for many years an exile; Szalay, the historian, the Hungarian ambassador at Frankfort in 1848 ; Klanzal and Baron Eotvos, the ministers of 1848 ; Melchior Lonyay, distinguished as a political econo mist ; and Gabriel Kazinczy, whose speech in the address debate ranked next to that of Deak. The great leader of the moderate party directs his friends without taking part in the conference. The so-called party of independence, which represents Kossuth's views as far as they are in opposition with Deak, sent Bonis and Nyary, both of them for several years prisoners of state at Josephstadt ; Csernovics, the leader of the Serbs ; the Baron Podtnawiczky, M. Komaromy, M. Varady, and the leader of the party, Columban Tisza. These 14 gentlemen have as yet not been able to come to an unanimous agree ment, but it is probable that they will unite on the present all-important occasion ; and about the 3d of August the Diet will meet to expose the flimsy ar gument of the German ministers and to expound the Hungarian claims before all Europe. Everybody feels now that we are on the eve of great events, and the dissolution of the Diet is inevitable. The German ministers, are, however, strongly mistaken if they believe that the indignation of the Hunga rians will prompt the patriots who are in offiJe, especially the lord-lieutenants, to give in their resignation. It is said that M. Schmeriing had already drawn up a list of persons who might be willing to take the place of Baron Vay's nominees, but his pains were quite superfluous. At a private meeting of all the high officials it was resolved unanimously that since those nominations were for life, nobody should give up his place, but cling to it until he were expelled by force, protest ing against any illegal order, and refusing to exe cute it. This passive resistance is to be carried to the utmost point in all the muncipalities, which for the present are in the hands of elected magistrates, and if the Diet is dissolved every county is to take up the cause of the constitution, each county meet ing will form so many provincial diets. Against such a stubborn resistance the Vienna centralists will scarcely be able to contend very long. They may see from the still continued distraint by mili tary execution for the arrears of the taxes how tough the Hungarians are who rather submit to all the exactions of the soldiery than pay the Aus trian taxes. The people are ruined, but Plener, the Minister of Finance, cannot fill the treasury. It is a measure well calculated to exasperate the Hun garians, and to unite all the different races in the hatred of Austria; but from a financial point of view it is of no avail. EEST INDIA IRRIGATION CoMPANY.—The di rectors of this company have issued their first report. It shows that, as stated the other day, Sir Charles Wood has conc eded to the company the interpretation which they, in com mon with every on e outside the India .office, placed upon the terms of arrangement originally made. As by this concession the only obstacle which threatened to prevent the satisfactory settlement of a contract at Calcutta has been removed, the establishment of this (the first) unguaranteed company for the construction of reproductive works in India may be said to be accomplished. Lord Canning has already perused the draft contract which was drawn up on the com pany's behalf, and those portions which he suggested should be amended have been amended so as really to meet his views ; moreover, all in authority at Calcutta are desirous of lending a helping hand to the enterprise, the prospects of which are therefore much improved. Should it, inde pendently promoted, achieve success, as is greatly to be de sired, a great encouragement will be given to the flow of unguaranteed capital to India. This is an object for which Government assistance ought surely to be forthcomin g at every pint, 2118 BUILLE.RS . STRIKE. Yesterday the period of two years expired, fo r which the master b u ild ers h a d en t ere d i n t o their bond of association, leaving them free either to cease or renew th e i r connex i on w i th t h e assoc i a tion. A deputation from t h e masons ' comm i ttee accor dingly waited upon the firm of Waller and Sons, the ex tensive contractors of King's-road, Chelsea, to ascer tain the final decision of the firm upon the question of the compromise. The result of this interview was the unconditional acceptance by the firm of Messrs. Waller of the compromise, the only stipula tion made being that the firm should receive bank their old workmen as far as possible. As soon as the decision of Messrs. Waller became known through the trade, Mr. Joseph Myers, of Messrs. Myers' firm, Lambeth, vi s i te d t h e head quarters of the masons, in Westminster -road, and had a long conversation with several of his o ld workmen, and although no positive arrangeme n t was made a favourableresulfrs anticipated. An aggregate meeting of the carpenters and joiners of the metropolis was held last evening rit the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, to take Into consideration the present position of affairs i t , the building trades, as it affected their branch— Mr. Franklin in the chair. The following resolu tions were agreed to :—" That this meeting views with concern and regret the inconsistent and partial conduct of the Government in not immediately withdrawing the Sappers from the works of the Chelsea Barracks instead of allowing one month previous to their withdrawal, they having acknow ledged the principle to be wrong under which they were employed. That the secretary forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of State for War." "That in the opinion of this meeting the system of hiring and paying by the hour is objec tionable, as it tends to destroy all identity of inte rest and sympathy between employers and employed, reducing the terms of engagement to a period be getting in the workmen a constant fear of discharge ; ; we theref ore p l e d ge ourse l ves t o res i s t, by eve ry legitimate me ns, such an unjust system, and to support the branches of the building trade now on strike, or any other branch, in obtaining the terms of the compromise." FORDRA4 THE CELEBRATED JOCKEf. In private life Fordham's popularity is as great as it is in public; and among the jockeys we can with truth say he has not a single enemy, for his kindness of heart always prompts him to make an excuse for any defect in their riding to which his attention has been called, adding, " he could not have ridden him better himself." To whist he is especially partial, when there is, as he calls it, no " officing ;' and in the long winter evenings at Drewett's it is his constant amusement. His habit, however, of consulting one of those books in which the cards are printed with directions how to play them, renders a rubber a rather longer affair than it is at the Arlington or White's ; but his excuse, if he did not .pursue this system "he might chuck away a trick," is readily accepted. Of shooting he is also very fond ; and the co verts of Jenkinstown, the fields of Epsom, and the uplands of Mamhead, all bear witness to his prowess with his gun ; still, we think we shall not err in stating he is more to be feared shooting a favourite a few strides from home on a race-horse than a hare when in action. Of Terpsichore he is a decided votary; and in a three-handed reel at Danebury can stay longer than that celebrated professor, Young King, who, a few months back, danced a. friend for a sovereign after dinner for 40 minutes without his boots, and beat him. Of Paris and the Parisians he has a great admiration, as, iu his frequent visits across the Channel, h e has had plenty of opportunities of studying their manners and customs. He has, however, sensibly felt the inconvenience of not being able to speak the lan guage as fluently as he does English, for, about a twelvemonth back, he went into a haircutter's shop to have his locks trimmed, and the operator, having no orders to the contrary, and not under standing one syllable of English, went on with his customer until he had left as much hair on his head as there is on a cannon ball. In this state he came to Newmarket the following day, when his old travelling tutor, Mr. Mellish, inquired of him, if "he had had a month," to which he indignantly replied in the negative, adding, " that it was all very well for him to talk, but he should like to know what he would have done had he been in Paris, and had his hair cut, and been unable to tell them when to stop." Those who know Fordham's style of arguing can well understand the force of his remonstrance; but he has wisely resolved never again to place himself in such a peculiar position, and has since employed none but native artists on his poll. But if partial to the turf, he is no less fond of the chase, and never misses a day with the Southdown foxhounds, with whom, when there is anything to do, he goes right well, cramming his horse through the rough hedges and over the doubles of the heavy Weald of Sussex, without the slightest compunction, and being always mounted on blood horses, with his light weight and fine hands, he is invariably in the first flight at the finish of a run. On alternate days, he generally pays a :visit Eto the neighbouring :pack of har riers, with whom his great pleasure seems to be to consider himself to be whipper-in, and to halloa and crack his whip. his stud of hunters is not a large one, as they only consist of Levity, Babylon, and a wonderful pony, but they are all presents, and, in the language of Mr. Murray, of Manchester, won derfully well educated. Besides these he may occa sionally be seen at the covert side on an old steeple chaser, or on a cat-legged two-year-old, hardly up to the weight of a pair of boots, or on some half-bred farmer's mare fit to carry 16 stone. But it is all the same to him, for he "nego tiates" their fences so well for them as to escape with very few falls. A pony race he loves to distraction ; and he is never so proud as when, after letting a butcher's boy or farmer's son pump himself out, he comes and beats him on some scratch of a pony he has picked up for the occasion. Steeplechasing he also likes at the end of the hunting season, and his favourite mare, Levity, has won one over four miles of very severe country. Darin. , his career on the turf, Fordham must have amassed a pretty large sum of money; and we be lieve we are not wrong in stating that in the invest ment of it he is guided by the advice of his old master, Mr. J. S. Douglas, the owner of Tourna ment, so there is no fear of its being improperly employed, or his being left without resources in the evening of life.

The portion of valley of the depth from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, an excellent opportunity was thus offered for the study of the zoological _ species to be found at that depth. M. Alphonse Edwards, a French naturalist, who was on the spot at the time, has now published the results of his observations on that occasion. Among the extraneous bodies which adhered to the cable, he mentions several mollusks still living at the time they were brought up. One of them was the Ostrea cochlear, a kind of oyster which is fiequent enough in the Mediterranean at a depth of from 300 to 400 feet, but which had never been found at any depth approaching to that of the valley above mentioned. It must have fixed itself to the cable when very young; for its lower valve, about 6 cen timetres in breadth, had completely assumed the shape of the cable's surface like a plaster-cast. There was also a Pecten opercularis, a sea-shell, one of the valves of which fits like a lid on the other, at tached to the cable, and a much rarer one also, the pecten testae. To these were added two gastero o d p ea the ,nonodanta limbata, and the fusus larhellOSUS both extremely rare, and containing the animal alive within. Of corals there were fourteen speci mens belonging to three different species family of turbinolides, two of which of the one fossil, that is, hitherto only found new, and geological strata, mixed with other nd in ancient fragments. It has thus been palseontologiea 1 doubt that, at a depth o f 8 0 ascertained beyond a sur face of the sea, there ex. ) 00 feet b e l o w the tary habits, and mos.. exist living beings of seden tary belonging to such species as have been ver depths. y seldom found a t more accessible ANOTHER CHILD MURDER.—.An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Rose and. Crown Tavern, Bromley, on the body .of a female child un known, found under the following circumstances :—On Sa turday last, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as a man named Samuel Prince was at work at the rear of a house situate in Archibald-street, Broeiey, he saw a fish-basket lying in the garden, as if it had ' , peen thrown over the side wall. The man had seen two fern ales loitering about shortly before, one of whom was carry ing a brown paper parcel. The basket was opened, when it e found the body of a fine child, wrapped in a coarse tows 4. Mr. Garman, surgeon, said that the deceased had been borne alive. The body was well formed and fully developed . The umbilical cord had been severed, and death was CO a result of suffocation by pressure on the mouth and nest rils.
