MONEY MARKET AND CITY /V Elf 'fic, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufachtring districts during the past week represent that, in one or two localities, there has been a slight improvement in the general progress of business. At Manchester, however, little charge of importance can be re ported, the upward movement in the value of cotton tending to curtail production. At Leeds, a mode rate amount of business has been done in seasonable goods, chiefly, however, for the home markets ; and at:Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield there has been little change of importance. The hosiery trade at Leicester has continued heavy, and in the various hardware districts a better tone has been apparent, particulary as regards Birmingham, Shef field, and Wolverhampton. Considerable excitement prevailed in the Liver pool Cotton Market on Saturday, and 40,000 bales were disposed of at a further advance of d, per lb. upon nearly all descriptions. About £20,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England on Saturday. The directors of the Phenix Gas Company have made a call of £2 per share (making £55 paid on every £6O share) payable on or before the 21st proximo. A meeting of the East India Steam Navigation Company will take place on the 30th inst., for the purpose of confirming the resolution passed at a former meeting for raising £20,000 on Debentures. There is not the slightest increase in the general demand for discount accommodation, the require ments of the commercial public being limited, while the absorption for other purposes is also too restricted to impart activity to the Money Market the current rate for the best bills in private chan nels being 3 per cent. The inquiries at the Bank are still partially suspended, and the authorities at present therefore have not derived much ad vantage from their reduced minimum. The terms for loans on the Stock Exchange continue exceed ingly moderate. The English Stock Market opened steady, but a decline of per cent. has since occurred, Consols being 931, for transfer and 931 1 for account. This movement was caused by some large sales, chiefly on speculative account. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 917- ; India 5 per Cent. Loan and the New Scrip are at 103,1 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 96/ ; and the 51 per Cents. at 1031. A fair amount of business has been recorded in the Foreign Market, and prices, in most instances, show a further improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 ; ditto, 1858, 68j ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. have advanced 21 per cent., viz. to 881 ; ditto Deferred to 30 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. to 911 2 ; Grenada to 16/ 17; Sardinian to 80/ 81 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 101; Spanish are flat at 49i, but the Passive firm at 17k. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been on a rather restricted scale, and prices have shown less firmness in several instances. Great Westerns have declined 10s.; and Midlands and South-Easterns, ös.; Eastern Counties, how ever, have been in fair request at enhanced rates, having improved fully to per cent. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been in moderate favour. Recife and San Francisco have improved to 15-Z-; Dutch Rhenish to 151 151; and Great Indian Peninsula to 99f. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remained inactive, without any material change in prices. Oriental Bank realise 501-; Union of Lon don, 27i ; Canada Land are firm at 1091, and Peel River Land at 492. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 9ll f 3 per Cent.

On Friday, in consequence of the progress of the Metropo litan Underground Railway, the thoroughfare for carriages up Seymour-street, which le Ids to the North-Western Railway Station, Euston-square, was stopped, and it will be some weeks before it will be reopened for public traffic. In connection with the construction of this railway, an other large thoroughfare is expected to be closed shortly— namely, that leading from Coldbath•square to Exmouth street. In order to prevent the obstruction, which it is con sidered will be a great injury to the trade of the parish, the vestry have made a communication to the board of directors of the company, to induce them to construct a temporary bridge, as had been previously done in the Hampstead-road and the Edgware• road, over which omnibuses and other heavy vehicles passed with safety. MARRIAGE OF GENERAL TURR.—The Italie states that the marriage of Gen. Turr and :Mlle. lAS se, a Mondovi, was celebrated by the Vicar-General, at the Church of Santa-Frammenga. All the officers of General Turr's divisoin was present. The bride was accompanied by her mother and two brothers. The General and Madame Turr are to proceed from Mendovi :to Turin, and thence to Como. Constantinople journals to the 11th have arrived. Up to that date no news had been received from Syria, Moldo.%%rallachia, or Servia; but it w as known that the negotiations entered into by Omer Pacha having failed, he had attacked the insurgents of the Herzegovina, and that the latter had retired before his troops, intending, it was believed, to make a stand in the mountains. As to Servia, no illusion was entertained respecting her leaning to wards Montenegro, and the gravity of the situation of all the European provinces was admitted. SRARE MARKET.-(77-11S DAY).

STRAW PAPER,-THE RAG SUPPLE It seems beyond question that the consumption of paper, not only in England, but on the Con tixent, is rising into excess of the rag supply. America, too, appears to be in rag difficulties, for she makes large rag purchases on the Continent, and last year carried 2,000 tons out of England. The English and the Americans wear more calico and linen, and are, therefore, greater rag producers than any other peoples in the world; but they do not collect their rags with the same care that the Germans, French, and Flemish do. In frugal Scotland it is a common saying, " Who burns rags will want a winding sheet ;" and the fear of the loss of a shroud, and the thrift that enables many an humble housewife to keep her family in crockery out of their rags, works to the great advantage of the Scottish paper maker. Every reader of newspapers is aware of the growing scarcity and dearness of rags, and of the numerous ingenious efforts to find substitutes for them. Paper from wood, straw, nettles, grass, thistles, rhubarb, hop-bine, and many other things has been announced as made. The fact is, that paper can be made from any vegetable fibre ; the only consideration is, whether the paper so made is worth making s and, if it is, can a mill secure a re gular and abundant supply of the fibre at a lower cost than rags. Paper from straw has come into extensive use during recent years, and many imagine that not only is straw much cheaper than rags, but that au illimitable straw supply may be enjoyed by any paper-maker. Yet both these ideas are incorrect. Straw in any great quantities is not to be had. It is a sins qua non in many farmer's leases that the straw must be used on the land ; and such, of course, have none to sell. Then a paper-mill sends up the price of straw in its neighbourhood. When Mr. Thomas commenced working his mill at High Wycombe, he got his straw for about a guinea a load of ; but, as he consumes about six hundred tons a year, he has been the means of raising its price in the country round to 335. and 365. a load. It may be said, Why not draw supplies from a wider circuit ? True, but straw is bulky, and the expense of its carriage raises it to the high rate of the district round the mill. Owing to the scarcity of straw in England one paper-maker has been importing wheat-straw from the Continent, In one placei it is said, straw rose to L 4 a ton, and a mill had to give up its use. Straw suitable for paper is now sold in Norfolk at from 50s. to 555. a ton ; and Mr. Magnay admits that if straw could be had for 40s. a ton, it would come into serious rivalry with rags for all the com moner sorts of paper. It takes, indeed, 21 tons of straw to make one ton of paper, whilst of rags only 11 to tons are required, but straw even at that rate is cheaper than rags. Rags, however, maintain their advantage over straw in the cost and difficulty which attend the manufacture from straw. The same machinery used for rags will not do for straw ; the bleaching is far more troublesome, straw taking four or five times the quantity of chemicals to bring it to the same whiteness as rags. But improvements in the methods of manufacture are going rapidly on, and straw paper is passing into a firm and assured existence. Two mills in Kent now work up 100 tons of straw every week. As an auxiliary to rags, straw meets with considerable favour ; one-third rags and two-thirds straw makes excellent writing paper, and many people now use it exclusively, owing to the ease with which they find their pens glide over it. We regret to have to announce that Lord Lynd hurst is suffering from indisposition, and confined to his house in Hanover-sq uare . Hi s lordship and family ar rived in town last week, with the intention only of re maining a few days; but his lordship's sudden indisposi tion has prevented the intended departure.—Courtlournal. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT FROME.—The discharged soldier, Joseph Seers, who is in custody charged on his own confession with the murder of the young girl Sarah Watts, at the Woodlands, Frome, in the month of August, 1851, under circumstances of great atrocity, was discharged from the military lunatic hospital, Fort Pitt, Chatham, as incurable on the 11th of September last, only a few days before that on which he gave himself up and confessed being the murderer of the girl named. Several circumstances, however, appear to throw considerable doubt on the correctness of his statement. At the time of his discharge Seers's age, according to li 4 s attestation paper was 25 years, and, as the murder in question was committed more than 10 years ago, he must at the time have been only 15 years of age. When before the magistrates the pi isonor stated he enlisted directly after the murder, whereas he did not enter the army until the 18th of December, 1857, when he enlisted into the 2d battalion of the 4th King's Own. In the month of June, 1859, he embarked with bis regi ment for Corfu. At Corfu he became insane, and after twice attempt* suicide was sent hom e t o t h e l unatic hospital, Chatham, into which he was admitted on the Bth of August last, but was discharged from the army as a hopeless lunatic and unfit for further service on the 11th of September, when he was conveyed, in charge of an escort, to Promo, and handed over to the care of his friends. From the character Seers bore in his regiment, and also the fact that he is in • sane, no credit is attached to his statement at Chatham, where the depot of his late regiment is quartered. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday, were mode rately supplied with wheat. Generally speaking, sales pro gressed somewhat slowly, yet very little change took place in prices. Most kinds of spring corn were in fair request at late rates. The flour trade was firm. On the Continent the value of nearly all descriptions of produce has been fully supported. At New York a fair ex port business has been transacted. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were rather on the increase. From abroad we re ceived 24,853 quarters of wheat, 524 barley, 68,011 oats, 3,960 beans, 2,363 peas, 50 tares, 2,629 linseed, 2,778 rape seed, 600 maze, 23 sundry seeds, 375 sacks and 22,034 bar rels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish 1 . 1 heat were considerably on the increase, and the show of samples was good. In consequence of a less active demand for export to France, sales, both in red and white qualities, progressed heavily, and in some instances a re duction of is per quarter took place on the quotations, compared with Monday last. The supply of foreign wheat was moderately extensive, and the trade for all descriptions ruled inactive, at about previous rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in less active request, and prices had a drooping tendency. With barley we were rather scantily supplied, and the trade was firm, at full currencies. Malt was in slow demand, yet no change took place in its value. The supply of oats was large. Good and fine qualities moved off steadily at full quotatiOns, but out-of-condition parcels were a dull inquiry, and 6d per qr. cheaper. Very few beans were on offer, and all kinds realised ex treme rates. For peas, the supply of which was small, there was a steady demand, and prices w ere we ll maintained. _ .. _... _ The flour trade was firm. In the quotations no change took place.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market. The beasts came to hand in very middling condition; but the quality of the sheep and calves was-good. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were very large as to number, but somewhat defi cient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, shorthorns, Here fords and Devons were in good request, at full prices—the top quotation being 4s Ed per Elba; but all inferior breeds moved off slowly, at barely stationary currencies. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 3,350 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 27 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 700 oxen and heifers. There was a fair show of sheep; but at least a moiety of the supply was of middling quality. Prime Downs and half-breds were in good request, at full prices, viz., from 5s .o 5s 4d per 81b ; but inferior breeds were a dull inquiry, at basely late rates. The lamb season is now over. We have to report a slow sale for calves. Priceg, how ever, were supported. The supply was only moderate. Although the supply of pigs was on the increase, the pork trade ruled steady, at extreme quotations to a slight advance. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

The September s :t-ions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this mc ruing before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Sir J. Duk , Sir F. G. Moon, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and Under Sheriffs. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said he was sorry to say that although the number of the prisoners for trial was not more numerous than might have been ex pected, yet many of the charges were of a most serious nature, and would call for the greatest consideration. There were no less than three charges of wilful murder, three of manslaughter, several others in which considerable vio lence had been used, one with stabbing with intent to commit murder, which still remained a capital offence, and two charges of rape. The first case to which he would refer was that against a person named William Cogan, who was charged with the wilful murder of his wife. The prisoner and his wife, it appeared, when sober, lived peaceably together, but when intoxicated they were in the habit of quarrelling, and the evidence showed that it was during one of these unfortunate differences that the , alleged offence was committed. Having related the cir cumstances connected with the case, which have already appeared, the Recorder remarked that the prisoner alleged that his wife, after cutting his throat, had committed suicide. There were no persons present when the offence was committed, so they would have to say whether there was sufficient evidence for fur ther inquiry against the accused, when he would have the opportunity of fully entering into all the particulars of the case. If they should be of that opinion they would return a true bill against him. The next charge of murder was that against a man named Murphy, and he was also charged with the murder of his wife—the circumstances being somewhat similar to those in the case he had just referred to. The parties when sober lived peaceably together, but when drunk they also were in the habit of quarrelling. The evidence, however, in this case differed from the other, as there was amongst the witnesses a person who saw the act committed. This witness stated that he by accident went into the house where the two people were quarrelling, and was induced to look through an aperture in the door of the apartment, when he saw a man stab a woman, and from certain circumstances there could be no doubt that the prisoner was in the house at the time, and it would be for them to say whether there was sufficient evidence to place him on his trial for the offence. The third charge of murder was that against a seaman name Spiller. The evidence in that case would have also to be fully considered by them, but it appeared to be such as to call for no further remarks from him, as they would find it would present no difficulty to them in the discharge of their duty. The charges of manslaughter were pre ferred against Benjamin Martin and William Willsey. In the latter case death had been occasioned by the deceased interfering to prevent a quarrel between the pri soner and his wife. If the evidence bore out the charge, then it would become their duty to return a true bill against him. A woman, named Harris, was charged with causing the death of her child by wilful neglect, and if it appeared so by the evidence then the woman became amenable to the law, for a parent was clearly responsible for the death of the child under such circumstances. The evidence in the charge of rape against Henry Hearne was rather pecu liar. The person upon whom the offence was alleged to have been committed was a married woman, the wife of a policeman. During the night, while the husband of the prosecutrix was on duty, the prisoner entered her apart ment and got into the bed, she not being aware of the cir cumstance until it was almost too late. Immediately upon making the discovery the proseeutrix raised an alarm, and the prisoner was taken into custody and committed for trial for the offence. The defence set up was that the woman laboured under a peculiar delusion, and that in fact the offence had not been committed. He merely mentioned this circumstance, in order that the jury might be enabled to observe the demeanour of the prosecutrix while she was giving her evidence. There was also, he regretted to say, among the remaining charges one of those which had been so frequent of late—namely, a charge of fraudulent bankruptcy, and it was of the greatest importance to a commercial country that all such acts, if clearly proved, should be severely punished. With respect to the other charges they were not of a nature to call for any special remark, as they were of the ordinary description and would not offer any difficulty in their disposal. EMBEZZLEMENT. William Balmano surrendered to an indictment charging him with embezzling certain moneys the property of his employers, Messrs. Turner and Preston. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Turner, the prosecutor, said his firm carried on busi ness as attorneys, and the prisoner entered their service a short time ago as clerk. His duty, amongst other things, consisted in taking out wiits and other legal • documents, tor which money had to be taken from the office. After he had been but a few days in their employ it was disco vered that several sums of money had been entered as ex pended, but it was afterwards found out that documents for which they were charged had never been taken out, and that £l3 had been abstracted in the manner described. The prisoner was called upon to account for the false entries, when he said that he had lost money out of his pocket, and he was afraid to mike the circumstances known, as it might lead to his dismissal. The salary the prisoner received was £l3O per annum. Other witnesses having been examined, Mr. Sleigh made a very strong appeal to the jury on be half of the prisoner, urging upon them that it had not been proved that the prisoner's deficiency had not been caused through the accidental loss of the money. The jury, after half-an-hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. The Recorder—Mr. Turner, have you found out any other deficiencies ? Mr. Turner—Yes, my lord, about £l7. The Recorder—And that was taken, I have been in formed, two days after the prisoner had entered your ser vice ? Do you know where he had been previously em ployed ? Mr. Turner—Yes, my lord. I believe there was some dispute there about his accounts, but as the prisoner explained it in some way I thought he would act honestly for the future. 1 he Clerk asked the prisoner whether he had anything to say in mitigation of his sentence? Prisoner—l merely wish to say I have already suffered five weeks' imprisonment. The Recorder—lt matters very little how many weeks you have already been in prison, as the charge you have been convicted of is most disgraceful. The prosecutor, in order to give you an opportunity of amending your character, took you into his service, well knowing that some irregu larities had been discovered in your accounts in your previ • ous employment, and, in order to place you above tempta tion, gave you the very excellent salary of £l3O per annum. Notwithstanding this, the second day you were in his service you commenced robbing them, and that in a manner which to them, as attorneys, might have been attended with very serious consequences. It was your duty to see that some legal requirements were complied with, and in order that such might be done, money, the property of your employer, had to be paid; but instead of acting as an honest man would have done, you appropriated the money to your own private purposes, and thus defrauded your employers. The sentence of the Court upon you is that you be kept in penal servitude for the space of three years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BUILDER CHARGED WITH RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY.—Henry Matthews, of 59, Warren-street, builder, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with receiving a quantity of lime, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. George Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and said the thief had been taken into custody, and to Marylebone, as his only object was to have the prisoner remanded; and that either the prisoner might be brought to this court, and have the charge against the prisoner heard before one magistrate, or the prisoner Matthews taken to Marylebone. It was then argued that the case should be heard before Mr. Tyrwhitt. Mr. Lewis then said the prosecutors were in a large way of business, keeping several men and carts, and that one of their men, now in custody, went to the prisoner's place in the Euston-road, and left a quantity of lime. Mr. James Hon, of Murston, said he carried on business as a lime dealer, and had a carman in his employ of the name of Carey. On Friday, the 20th of this month, he had a quantity of lime to deliver, but none at the prisoner's. Carey had been in his employ about three years. Mr. Lewis said that was all the evidence he wished to offer that day. Some discussion then ensued between Mr. Lewis and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, and it was arranged that the prisoner Carey should be brought to this court on Wednesday, bail being taken for Mr. Matthews to appear on that day. EMBEZZLEMENT.—CharIes F. Price, porter, in the em ploy of Mr. Bobbol, leather-dealer, of Oxford-street, was charged with embezzling money received on account of his employer. He was remanded, one case being proved against him.

THE ATTEMPTED DO 178 I, r: MURDER AND SUICIDE A T (.00L E. We find the following additional particulars of this case in the :Manchester Examiner and ;Imes: —The prisoner, :Mrs. Teo kington, is the wife of a police-officer residing at Stockport, but was on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Scholes, Lower Bridge street, Goole, where she has been living since the 19th of July last. At the inquest, which was holden on Thursday afternoon, at the Sydney Hotel, Gc. , :e, before J. H. Simpson, Esq., M.D., the coroner for the h onour of Pontefract, the following particulars were elicit e d : Mr. R. P. Bell said—l am in practice as a sur geon in Goole. About two o'clock on Wednesday morning Mrs. Scholes called me up to attend her daughter. I went at once, and found a young child apparently in a profound sleep. The mother was sitting in a chair in the • same room, talking in a wild and wandering way, and was making efforts to vomit. I examined the child, and found its pulse feeble and intermittent, an d its skin cold a,-)d c l a mmy, with the eyelids shut cad the pupils con tracted. I asked the grsnelmothe r what they had been giving to the child, and she replied, " My daughter says she has given them a Penny wort h of opium." lat once gave an emetic, but this had no effect. I gave a second with the like result. I then used the stomach pump, but I was still unable to give relief. In passing the tube the child vomited a small quantity of mucus. The child died about seven a.m. When I was first called in the child was in a very dangerous state, and there was no possible chance of saving its life. I applied every remedy I knew without effect. I have performed a post mortem examination on the body. I produce the contents of the stomach, and on examining it I found a strong smell of opium. I found a brown powder secreted among the mucus taken from the stomach. I am sure that powder was poison, and that the child came to its death from an overdose of opium, or some other narcotic poison, such as opium or laudanum. I have tested the contents of the stomach by test paper,. and find an acid reaction. I heard that the prisoner had another child, and when I inquired for it she said it was upstairs all right. I sent her to fetch it downstairs, and then saw that it was suffering from the effects of opium. It was then staggering, and in a very nervous state. I gave him an emetic, and one to his mother, and afterwerds repeated them, which caused free vomiting. I ordered them some strong coffee, and had them walking about for some time. The boy was kept in motion from my first visit until five or six o'clock in the evening. He is now better, and the mother has also recovered from the effects of the opium, but she is in a very unsettled state of mind. The prisoner told me that she had bought a. drachm of opium, which cost her 3d., and that they had all taken it. Mrs, Mary Scholes, the pris oner ' s mother, said, —Mary Torkington, th e deceased, i s my grandchild, and was a year and seven months old. My daughter came to me on the 16th of July last. I was over at Stockport on the Bth July, and told her husband, to bring her, as I thought she was " silly mad," and the change might do her good. On the 18th inst. my son-in-law came home about two o'clock a.m. and I got up to let him in. At that time I heard the child moaning. I was in the same bed with it and its mother. I took hold of the child, and thought it was ill, and went at once for Dr. Bell. He gave it medicine, and used the stomach pump. but it died about seven o'clock the same morning. I asked my daughter what she had been doing to the child, and at first she said, " Nothing." I said, " If thou doesn't tell me I will knock thee down." She then said, "We have all had a pennyworth of opium, and shall be dead directly." She seemed quite in high spirits over it. I sent for Sergeant Greenwood, and in company with my daughter we A ent to the shop where she said she had purchased the opium. I did not know of her buying any, and. believe she was not in the habit of taking it. She was very fond of her children, and always afraid any one should injure them. My daughter was in the Stockport Infirmary in June last. She had then been attempting to hang her self. I have often taken her children away from her, but she has found and brought them back. If she went upstairs I was forced to follow her, for fear she should do herself an injury. Mr. W. Steele, assistant to Mr. Leggitt, druggist, proved that the prisoner applied to him for a quar ter of an ounce of opium, and that he cautioned her several times, and asked if she knew it was a deadly poison. She said she did, and from her appearance he thought she was in the habit of taking it. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner. She had been remanded by the magistrates, and will be brought before them in a day or two. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SUR GEON AT 13UXTON. Mr. George Flint, surgeon, was on Saturday brought before E. Buckley, B. Badger, and E. W. Wilmer, Esqs., at Buxton, charged, on remand, with intent to murder his wife. Prisoner was nc • commodated with a seat at the solicitors' table. Ho appeared in a state of mind bordering closely upon delirium tremens. It was mentioned that he had been strongly delirious all the previous night. Once or twice he looked round the crowded court, and muttered nervously to those nearest him, Dear, dear, what a lot of people P" but beyond this ho seemed to take little interest in the proceedings. He rose, when the case was half over, apparently under the impression that his farther presence was tot at all necessary, and was quietly walking out of the Court until he was called back. Considerable sympathy had been excited on the prisoner's behalf on account of his former respectable position in society. Most of the witnesses gave evidence against him with reluctance, and one or two refused to appear unless they were summoned. James Kirkman, labourer, was first called. He said that on Thursday morning last, about a quarter past 11, he saw the prisoner standing at his own door with a gun raised to his shoulder. Mrs. Flint was running away holding a child by the hand. Witness said, "Run, or he'll shoot you," and being in danger himself he stepped round the corner. Just as he did so he heard the gun fired, and on looking out a short time afterwards, he saw Mrs. Flint run into Mr. Jones's shop, and noticed that there was blood upon her cheek. The Clerk (to the prisoner) : Do you wish to ask this witness anything ? Prisoner : No ; the man has spoken the truth I dare say. Mrs. .Hannah Maria Bailey stated that on Thursday morning between eleven and twelve, she was going up Terrace-road, when she met the prisoner, who was very tipsy and could scarcely walk. He had a gun in his hand, and witness asked him if the gun was loaded. He replied, "It is, with a cap on ; lam going to shoot my wife." Witness said nothing more, but walked on.—The Clerk : Have you any question to ask this witness ? Prisoner : No. I don't remember it at all.—James Whieldon, butcher, stated that about eleven o'clock, near the Catholic Chapel, he met the prisoner, who said, " I am going to fetch the gun to shoot Jane." Witness told him he must not do that, and, seeing he was drunk, he asked him how he would get the gun. The prisoner answered, " I shall tell my brother I am going to shoot a cat." He added, "that if he was not the death of his wife, she would be the death of him."—Edwin Ball, assistant with Mr. William Flint, chemist, the prisoner's brother, stated that the prisoner came to the shop about eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, and asked for the gun, as he was going to shoot a cat. Witness told him to come again, when Mr. Flint was in, but as the prisoner persisted in de manding the gun, and said he would not go without it, he ultimately let him have it. The prisoner loaded the gun with a very small quantity of shot and a small quantity of powder, and went o u t o f the shop with it.—A police officer here entered the court, and informed the Magistrates that Mrs. Flint cou nh l o d etr. , b ,.._ en i t ir a . t b j e o h h o n m fo A e u . n t p a o- o - d a — a r P s y o r , n is s o s o n a e id l r can'thastily: have ' v e e e n that he was called in to see Mrs. Flint at Mr. Jones's. She was in a state of great fright and agitation, and was wounded on the right side of her back, near the shoulder blade, on the back of her right arm, and on the outer side of her jawr there was one shot wound. Her arm was bruited by the wadding. The wounds appeared to have been made by small shot. None of them were dangerous at the time. The shots had pene trated very deep. He could not find any of them.—The prisoner being asked if he had any questions to put to the witness, remarked that it might as well be stated that the shots were scaqtered because sometimes shot entered in a body an& made a hole.—Joseph Clayton, draper, said he heard the slic,t fired, and ran out and took the gun from the prisoner. He asked him if the second barrel. was loaded. He said it was not, and on tryiing i o t c er, found this was the case.—George Plat, gret g ;3 13 8 e r e e d proved seeing the prisoner fire the gun. to hesitate till Mrs. Flint began to r ti a n a , r a: . he fired just:as she was turning the cor anr thing in The prisoner, who declined to trialsa' at 'the next l id then his defence, was committed for Derby assizes.
