'ME SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 186 L AIfIBRICA. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, APRIL 9. • The critical position of the Federal Government has compelled its members to preserve secresy. Never before under any Administration was so little of the councils of the Cabinet known to the public or to thOse who are supposed to be ac quainted with the opinions of the statesmen in office. Mr. Seward has issued the most stringent orders to the officers and clerks in his department to observe the rules which heretofore have been much disregarded in reference to the confidential character of State papers in their charge. It may be as well to state in the most positive terms that the reports which have appeared in American papers of communications between the English Minister and the American Government on the subject of a blockade of the Southern ports are totally and entirely destitute of foundation, No communication of any kind has passed between Lord Lyons, on the part of the English Govern ment, and Mr. Seward, or any one else, on behalf of the Government at Washington. It would be a most offensive proceeding to volunteer any inti mation of the course to be pursued by an European Power respecting a contingency of action on the part of the United States; nor would it be neces sary, in case a blockade were declared, to formu late a supererogatory notice that it must be such a blockade as the law of nations recognises. The importance of a distinct understanding on that point is all the greater in connection with the stories which ate afloat that the naval preparations of the hour aro intended to afford the Federal Go vernment the means of blockading the mouths of the Mississippi, and the Southern ports, with the object of collecting the Federal revenue. If any thing is clearer than another, in the doubt and perplexity which prevail, it is that the Govern ment will do nothing whatever to precipitate a con flict. It would ill become me, in such a crisis, to hazard any authoritative statements as to the conduct of the Administration 'under the very great , variety of complications which may arise' hereafter. Of this, hoivever, be assured,—not a ship, or a gun, or a man will be directed to make any attack, or to begin an offensive movement against the Confederated States. If any promise was made by .the Buchan-an Administration to in form the members of the Southern Government or its representatives of their - course of action, it will not be considered binding on the consciences of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, composed as it is of men who look on their predecessors as guilty of treason to the State. An attempt may be made to reinforce Fort Pickens, and neither that nor any positien occupied by the Federal authorities will be volun tarily abandoned. Once for all, let it be impressed on the minds of the English people that, whatever reports they hear, and however they may come—no matter whence or in what guise —there is no truth in them if they indicate the smallest intention on the part of Mr. Lincoln to depart from the policy indicated in his inaugural address. As strongly as words can do it, I repeat that the forces which have been assem bled are oily intended for the reinforcement of the strong places at Tortugas and Key West, which have been left short of every necessary of occupation and defence, and for the establishment of posts of observation, which are essential in case of hostility and to guard against surprise or treachery. I have dwelt in preiious letters on the Obvious policy of the Government of the United States, and I beg your readers to have firm faith that there will be no departure from it. By concentrating forces at Key West and Tortugas very valuable political results are obtained in face o f the present dis putes, and material strategical advantages in case those disputes should lead to a rupture, which will not - be. initiated by the Cabinet at Washington, These places are within a few hours' sail of the coast; they are healthy, and can be easily supplied, as long as the United State's fleet can keep the sea and cover the movements of its transports. Their occupation in force cannot be taken as an act of open war, while it is undoubtedly an alarming menace, which will keep the Confederates in a state of constant apprehension and preparation, leading to much internal trouble and great expense. By a confusion of metaphor which events may justify, the eye to watch may be turned into an arm to strike. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Africa, which touched at Queenstown yesterday, has arrived. The opinion that a portion of the expedition fitted out at New York was intended to support General Houston, the Federal Governor of Texas, appears to be borne out. The New I ork, Journal of Commerce takes that view, saying :—" The greater portion of the expeditionary force sent from New York is destined, as I have informed you, for Brazos Santiago. The importance of that point in a military, commercial, and political view can not be overrated. If you consider the character of the materials shipped you will see that it is for the purpose of throwing up fieldworks, of erecting barracks, and of employing in a level country flying artillery. You will notice, too, that the country on the Brazos for thirty miles is very rich, and will be the wealthiest and most conservative part of Texas. It now embraces important commercial points—for instance, Browns ville, 40 miles above Brazos Santiago. From Brownsville there is a great trade with Mexico, and with the interior of Texas. The imports of foreign goods at Brazos and at Brownsville are large and increasing—over five millions in 1852. Besides the goods and merchandise from non seceded States will amount to as much more, all which will pay duty to the Texan Customhouse, unless the United States' Government maintain a military post at Brazos Santiago. One _object, therefore, is to protect the revenue at this impov tant point. But, besides all these reasons, you will find another in the fact that Governor Houston made a formal application to this Government for military and for the protection of the State from invasion and insurrection, and the expedition may be intended as a response to the application." The New York Herald confirms this opinion as follows :—" The flying• artillery, cavalry, and sap pers and miners which have left this port within the past five days are to proceed to Texas, there to co-operate with General Houston, for the restora tion of the Government authority in that State, while a portion of the fleet will reinforce Fort Pickens and other posts on the Gulf coast." Letters from Washington state that a Government messenger had been despatched to Montgomery to have an interview with President Davis. It is reported that the State Government of Charleston had been notified that Fort Sumter would be pro visioned at any cost. Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State had declined to receive the Southern com missioners, but it is •alleged that he expressed peaceful intentions on the part of the Administra tion, providing the Federal forces were not molested. The number of steamers recently chartered by the Government was eight, as follows :—The Atlantic Baltic, Illinois, Ocean Queen, Fashion, Thomas Freeborn, Coatzacoalcos, and Yankee. Besides the Star, of the West and Empire City, orders had been issued by the Navy Department to have the Wabash, Vincennes, and Savannah, at Brooklyn, and the Jamestown, at Philadelphia, fitted for active service with despatch. The Powhattan, the Harriet Lane, aid the transports Illinois and Baltic had sailed for *the Gulf. The Governor of Pennsylvania gad sent a mes sage to the Legislature, recommending the organi sation of militia and other measures, and stating that he had received a letter from President Lin coln, with information of a design to attack the city of Washington. He calls attention to the serious jealousies and divisions distracting the public mind, and the military organisations of a formidable character, seemingly not demanded by any existing public exigency, in certain States. He adds " Pennsylvania offers no counsel, and takes no action, in the - nature of a menace. Her desire is peace; and to affect the preservation of the personal and political rights of citizens, the true sovereignty, of the States, and the - supremacy of law and order. : Animated by these sentiments, and indulging an earnest hope of a speedy restoration of harmonious and friendly relations, I commit the grave subject of this communi cation to your deliberations; ' The message was referred to a _joint select committee to report by bill. The alarming rumours current at Washington had occasioned great excitement in the seceding States. The state of affairs at 'Charleston and Montgomery is best . expressed by the telegrams : " CHARLESTON, APRIL 6. " Reliable information has been received from the North that reinforCements are ordered to Fort Sumter, and will be accompanied by a squadron under command of Commodpre Stringham. 5,000 Southern men, in 'addition to those at present in the fortifications, are ready to take the field within 24 hours. The ultimattiro, " siege or surrender," has not yet been. sent to Major Anderson, but with the supplies sent in to-day he was notified by General Beauregard that they are the laA, which is equi valent to a declaration of hostilities, This is posi.. live. Troops have Men ordered to rendezvous at points 'remote from 2 Charleston, but within sup porting distance, to watclObeAuoverrients of the enemy. They move at once.. Governor Pickens has all day been inspecting the batteries, accompanied by a portion of his Council and senior officers of the army. Everything throughout was in a state of efficiency. Bloodshed is inevitable, and if 'one drop is split - no one knows when it will end. A fOrmahiemand for the surrender of the fort has not been made, and may not be made at all. For ob vious reasons the intentions of the Confederacy are involved in mystery. The excitement is intense, and everybody is in fighting humour." " APRIL 8. "Gen. Beauregard ha 3 ordered out 5,000 more troops. Companies of volunteers are constantly arriving and being put in position in the harbour. New batteries are also being constructed. All the posts have been strengthened, and two additional regiments are hourly expected from the interior. The men are in excellent spirits at the prospect of some result, Vessels have been ordered from the range of fire between Fort Sumter and Sullivan's Island. The floating battery sails at 7 o'clock this evening for a point near Fort Sumter. A house has just been blown up near the five gun battery. Business has been suspended, and fearful excite ment prevails.. Considerable activity is manifested in military quarters here, giving indications that matters are approximating to -a crisis. Major Anderson's mail faCilities have not• been cut off, as reported—only his supplies." "APRIL 9. 'The affairs in this city are culminating to a point. About 800 men left the city this morning for different points in the harbour. It is estimated that near 5,000 men are stationed at Sullivan's and Morris Islands, and along the coast. Companies are arriving. from the interior, and the different forts will be further strengthened to-morrow by nearly 1,000 additional. soldiers. The greatest enthusiasm prevails among all classes. Everything is quiet on the surface, but there is a deep feeling. Prodigious preparations are progressing. Senator Wigfall is serving as a common soldier. Rifled cannon .are rapidly arriving. Secretary Jamieson delivered a farewell speech to-day, and compli mentary resolutions were adopted. The adjourn ment of the Convention is expected to morrow. No war vessels are outside, so far as known. Lieut. Talbot and Mr. Chew re!turned at 11 p.m. Per mission -vvaa refused to visit Sumtbr, and also to allow a provision ship to enter the - port. • The city is under arms ; the surgeons are called for. Martial law is expected to be proclaimed. Lieut. Talbot was detained at Florence, and lost 12 hours. The 18,000 men just called for by Jeff. Davis are intended for operation against the North. The Commis sioners at Washington have telegraphed to Gover nor Pickens that war is inevitable. The State ,authorities last night received official notification that supplies would be furnished to Anderson at any hazard—peaceably if possible, by force if neces• sary. Immense preparations immediately were commenced suitable to the emergency. Orders were issued to the entire military force of the city, held in reserve, to proceed to their stations without delay. row regiments of 1,000 men each have been telegraphed for from the country. One of these, from Kershaw district, under command of Colonel Rion, is formed with the unde tanding not, to be called was pos tively at hand. Dr. Gibb e s out s until Surgeon-Genera], fight make, every provision for the ral, w as rdered to prepare a mbulances, woun ded; and in all - departments were observable urg aeon nd the e the admirable system and discipline with which the State is prepared for this exigency. The community has been throin into a fever of excitement by the discharge of seven guns frotn the Citadel sauare, the signal for the assembling of all the re serves ten minutes afterwards. Hundreds of men left their beds, hurrying to an d fro towards their respective destinations. In the absence of sufficient armories, the corners of the streets.' public squares, and other convenient points formed places of meet img, and all night long the roll of the drum and the steady tramp of the military the close proximity of th e long a nd the gallop of the cavalry resounding thr oug h the city betokened anticipated hostili ties. The Home Guard s corps o f old gentlemen, who occupy the position of military exempts, rode through the city, arousing the soldiers, and doing other duty required by' the moment. Hundreds of the citizens were, up all night. A terrible thunder storm prevailed until a late hour, bat in no wise interfered with the ardour of the soldiers, mer chants, lawyers, doctors, students of divinity, clerks, mechanics, and labourers, joining shoulder to shoul der for common defence. The 47th Regiment,.Boo strong, gathered thus in one hour, and left for the fortifications at 3 o'clock this morning. The vessels in the harbour necessary for transportation will be called into service by 12 o'clock to-day. 3,000 men, n addition to those in the harbour, will be under arms." The Captain Talbot alluded to in the above tele gram was a messenger from Witshington with de spatches for Fort Sumter, which he was not per-, mitted to deliver. The floatingbattery is described by those who have seen it as resembling a large wooden screw, arched over with iron, and roofed with iron plates. To preserve the vessel's balance one side of the roof is covered with sandbags. In addition to being used as a battery, it is intended also for hospital purposes. Altogether it appears to be a very clumsy affair. A despatch from Pensacola states that orders had been given to erect batteries, if possible, on Santa Rosa Island, to prevent its occupation by the Southern troops. Fort Pickens is on this island. The State troops continued their preparations for an attack on their fort. British Columbia advices mentions the arrival at Victoria of Lady Franklin. It was reported that the British GovernmCnt had determined to build a naval depot at Esquimault, and that 150,000 dole. was already set aside for that purpose. The miners were working as high up the Frazer river as Lyt- ton City. The weather had been very favourable for their operations. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Commercial affairs were Mill largely affected by the critical conjuncture of affairs. For money the demand was very limited, and borrowers with good security had but little difficulty iu making almost their own terms. Rates, if anything, were lower; prime paper continues very scarce; short dated passed freely at 5 per cent. and long at 51 to 61. On call the supply, as usual of late, was much in excess of the necessities of the general public. Foreign exchange was heavy, but inactive ; com mercial bills were in good supply, and freely offered, but many bankers were not pressing sales. We quote on London, 60 nays' bankers' bills, 105 to 1051 ; ditto, commercial bills, 106 to 1071 ; ditto, bankers' bills, 1071 to 107.1 ; ditto, short sight bankers' bills, 1081 to 1091. THE NAVE The following order has been issued by V ice- Ad miral . H. W. Bruce,Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, dated the 19th inst. : " With reference to the 36th and 37th clauses of the Admiralty Circular No. 438, their lordships have acquainted me that men serving in the ships at this port, desirous of remitting money to them selves, or of receiving in person the money they have requested to remit, may be paid in cash, re serving at least one month's wages in hand." In accordance with this order the crew of her Majesty's ship Victory have been paid to the end of March, less a month's full wages and odd money, and the other ships in harbour will follow. The Cruiser, 17, screw, Commander J. Bythesea, K.C., arrived it Spithead yesterday from the China station, last from Falmouth. On anchoring she exchanged the customary salutes with her Majesty's ship Victory, the flagship of the Commander-in- Chief. Her M ,jesty's paddle — Wheel steamer Sampson was lying at St. Helena when the Cruiser left there for England, and was to follow the same day. She may therefore be hourly expected to arrive. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Captain W. H. Stewart, fitting out at Portsmouth 'as flagship for the Mediterranean, is scraping outside, from her copper upwards, after caulking, fitting hammock nettings, &c., and carrying out repairs above the water-line, preparatory to going into dock. The Fancy gunboat, which has been nearly re built in No. 6 dock at Portsmouth, will be undocked to• day. The Duncan, 101, screw two-decker, will, should there be water slfficient, be placed in No. 8 steam, basin dock at Portsmouth to-day, to ship her three bladed experimental iron screw. - The Edgar, 91, screw, Capt. James Katon, flag ship of Rear-A dmirall. E. Erskine, second in com mand of the Channel fleet, took on board yester day -At Spithead her apportioned complement of Armstrong guns, consisting of one 100-pounder and two 40-pounders. The Trafalgar, 91, screw, will receive two 40 pounders at Spithead to-day. The Melbourne, late screw hospital transport, wa3 discharged froin Government service at Portsmouth on Saturday, and yesterday removed from the har bour to Spithead. The Tasmania and Athlete, sailing transports, lately arrived at the same port from China, have also been discharged from Go vernment service. The Defiance, 91, from. Pembroke, in tow of the Lightning, arrived at Plymouth yesterday, and re ported the capsized derelict ship 14 miles south west of the Lizard, on which Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart despatched the steam sloop Bull dog to remove the dangerous obstruction from the channel. After coaling, the Lightning followed the Bulldog.. Ever since Friday, 12th inst., the fishing cutters Falcon and Biron, aided by the merchant steam vessel Raleigh, have been vainly endeavour ing, against strong contrary winds, to tow the wreck into port. A second derelict, with masts standing and sails flying, is said to be in the Channel. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, Mr. J. Mine:lin, master commander, tender to thelVellesley, 72, guardship of ordinary at Chatham, left Chatham harbour yesterday morning for Sloeburyness, hav ing in tow one of the dockyard, lighters laden with a new description of copper armour-plates for the exterior of vessels - of war, the Government having directed some experiments to be made upon them at Shoeburyness, in order to ascertain the powers of the new metal plates in resisting the effects of shot. Yesterday the workmen at Chatham dockyard commenced the removal of the temporary shed erected over the stern portion of the line-of-battle ship Bombay, 81, in the fourth dock, preparatory to that vessel being undocked. She is to be fitted with a pair of 200-horse power trunk engines, by Messrs. Humphreys, Tennent, and Co., a portion of the machinery of which has already arrived at the dockyard. The after-piece of the shaft has been fixed in its place, as well as some other portion of the gear connected with the working of her screw. The shaft itself weighs 5 tons 1 cwt. The screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21 guns, build ing under the first shed in Chatham dockyard, is being rapidly brought forward for launching, and an extra number of hands have been put upon her to expedite her completion. His Netherlands Majesty's screw steam corvette Medusa, 6, Capt. Nos, from Batavia, which has been several days windbound in Plymouth Sound, sailed on Sunday afternoon for Flushing. Her Majesty's floating steam battery Trusty; one of the six enormous contract vessels of that class, built during the Crimean war, and recently for warded from Chatham to Woolwich to be fitted with Capt. Coles's method of protection from the enemy's guns, was yesterday officially inspected in basin at Woolwich dockyard, by Capt. Eden, C. 8., one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for the purpose of examining the timbers, which have been cut through the upper deck, for the reception of the monster shield and its appurtenances. The six inch planking and portions of the supporting beams, which have been cut through to form a circle for the reception and base of the huge platform about to be erected, were found clvered with fungus, and were eaten through with dry rot, each piece pre senting that soft spongy appearance already de scribed in other vessels, and rendering the timbers totally unfit for use. The decision of the Admiralty relative to the fate of the Trusty is awaited with bonsiderable interest. A brutal attack was yesterday morning made by a party of convicts employed in the Chain-cable store of Portsmouth dockyard on the two warders who had them in charge, and but for the prompt assistance which arrived to the warders there is every reason to believe it would have ended in their murder. It appears that it is the custom to station the worse characters among the convicts at their work i❑ the Chain-cable store, the work of remov ing the chains from one portion of the store to the other being heavier than the average dockyard convict labour. A gang of 26 were thus employed yesterday morning, in charge of two warders named Lawrenca and Edson. The latter hearing an un usual noise behind him looked round, and saw that the convicts were rushing at Lawrence, and strik ing him with the iron hooks, which are about three feet long, with which they had been moving the chain cables. Edson at once rushed to the assis tance of Lawrence, but found Lawrence down on his back and was himself overpowered; he, however, made his escape from the midst of his assailants, and,, getting out by the south door of the building, shouted for help. This door opens directly on the south quay. alongside which is the gridiron for the reception of small craft, and on which at the time was luckily her Majesty's screw revenue schooner Argus, with her crew employed in scrubbing her copper. The warder was seen and his cries heard and understood from the schooner's deck, and in a few moments a party of some 25 seamen arrived with their cutlasses, headed by two officers of the vessel, dashed into the store, and confronted the convicts, who were completely alarmed by the sudden appearance of so large a body of armed men. Three of them, however, left the building before they could be got hold of, whil e one hardened ruffian, who stood in advance of his wretched companions, jeered at the seamen as they entered, and dared them to do their worst. This extremity was, however, avoided by the convicts GL~~ ~~ _ ~ , ,z ~-- -u- ~-.~- NEWSPAPER Elite, when he returned-back to hi put into the cell he said, " I did n. tit for I took a walk for an hour or bury." I said, "Well, remember ‘4, - 4)„,4244 4 r.1r:' dieted yourself; are your positive ' " No." - • Mrs. Sophia Morris, residing at 5, Jties'taar-s dens, Chapel-street, Islington, said the gerden of my house comes to the back of Mr. Higgin's house.. Yesterday evening, about 25 minutes to nine, I was passing Mr. Higgins's house, and saw the poor,ser vant go into the house by the street door. the gas at the time burning very strongly in the shop. I went up the street, and when about two minutes had elapsed, I returned and heard scuffling in the shop, but I did not knew - whether it was in play.. or whether the parties were quarrelling, I heard, a female say," Pray, don't hurt me; don't- strike me," at least 20 times. Not knowing what it was, I walked up and down the front of the door. I again - heard the female say, " Fred., Frea, pray do not hurt me." I then heard two tremendous blows, which sounded as if given by a, chopper. _ All was then still, and the'gas-li,ght was lowered. ,Several persons stood bv, and I said, " Pray, break. the door open, for I think the woman is murdered." One lifted another up, looked through the hOfel in the shutters, and saw the woman lying there, and the door was then broken open. Prisoner—You say the gas was burning strongly? Witnessi—Yes, it was in the shop. Prisoner—The gas was burning in the parlour when I went in, but not in the shop. Witness—l believe it was in the shop. Prisoner—l say it was not burning in the shop, neither when I went in nor when I came out. Mr. Barker—Have you any other questions to ask ? Prisoner—No. Bat I can positively say that it was not burning in the shop when I went in nor when I came out. • At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Barker, the magistrate, Mr. Mould, the chief clerk, and Mr. Baylis, the chief usher, and the prisoner, under the care of Inspector Judge, N - division, proceeded to the Royal Free Hospital. The prisoner was taken there in a cab, which was followed by alirge con course of persons, who hooted him, a po nd li i c t e r t e o qu k i e r e e p d the assistance of a large body of them from takino , summary vengea nce on him. The timfortuna ' te female, who is under the care of Mr. Thomas Wakley, the surgeon, and Mr. Hill, the house-surgeon; gave her evidence with great clearness and precision. The only portion of her face visible was her mouth, the other portions being enveloped in surgical bandages. Having been sworn, she stated as follows :—My name is Mary Ann Redkison. lam wounded, but do not know what it was done with. I only saw the knife that Fred. had in his hand. Mr. Mould—Who do you mean by Fred. ? Witness—l mean that young lad, who used to live with us. He lived with us just before Christ mas. He came to see me last night, a little before eight, but lam not quite certain. He came to me and said, " Might I come in ?" I said, " Yes ; there is no one at heme, hilt I expect Mistress's mother home immediately from church." He said ' We will come into the kitchen and sit down for a minute or so." When we had been there a short time he said he was thirsty, and would fetch something, and I got up for the purpose of getting him the beer jug. Ile said he did not what any beer, he wanted some gin, and I then gave him the pint jug. So he went out to get it, and I shut the door after him. I came up to the door just as he turned the corner of The street. I let him in, shut the door, and put the chopper against it as I always do. We went into the kitchen, and he mixed the gin with some water. A little while after that he said he would go into the parlour and see the time. I did not think anything' of it, for I had no suspi cion. I forget what time he, said it was. He brought down some of Cassell's Bibles, and when he had been there a moment or so I heard some boys calling out, and I said the street door is open, some one must have opened it and got in. I took the candle and went up stairs to my master's bed room. He took the knife from the shop, and came up after me. When I got upstairs I fancied I saw my master's chest was open, and the place turned topsey-turvey. I said I will run down and fetch the police, and he cut after me, and when I was going to the door Fred. got before me, bat he shut it, and he cut at me with a knife. I said; "Oh Fred. it is Mary, do not hurt me." 1 do not know any more. I am almost sure I fell. I had not got my senses after that until. I was put in a cab and taken to some hospital, but Ido not know which. When I went to the door to answer the knock Fred. was standing on the opposite side of the street. He crossed over, and I stared and said, " Ler Fred., who would have thought of seeing you." He told me he had knocked at the door the other Sunday night, but could not see me. I told him I was out that, night. I had not asleed him to call. M:. Barker—Did you see any man at the house last. night but Fred. ? Witness—No, none but Fred. Mr. Barker—Did any strong; man run clown stairs after you ? Witness—No, The witness here said she was in pain, and thought she should die, and expressed a wish to see her master, who was standing by her bedside. Mr. Barker (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? The prisoner (with the 'greatest callousness) said No ; but added, she asked me to call and see her about three weeks ago. The further hearing of the case took place at the police court, on the way back to which the cab was followed by thousands of persons, who most ener getically hissed the prisoner. Mr. Glackner said—l reside at 21, Mount-row, Liverpool-road. Last night, a little before nine, I was attracted by a noise in Chapel-street, which proceeded from Mr. Higgins's shop. I proceeded directly to the house, and I heard a female voice exclaim, "Don't cut, or hurt me, Fred." I cannot say whether it was " cut" or " hurt," but "Fred" I heard distinctly. It was followed by a noise like a blow, and then a person falling. I heard a hatchet thrown or laid on the floor. All was then silent for a few minutes. We lifted a man up to look into the shop, and finding a woman lying there, we broke the shop . door open. The prosecutor was recalled, and, in answer to questions, said there were marks of persons having got over the wall at the rear of the house. Police constable Tompkins said he should be able to bring persons who could identify the prisoner as having been seen about the house, and also to his having got over the wall. Inspector Judge (who asked for a remand) said there was blood only in the shop. The prisoner said he did not wish to offer any remarks, nor did he object to being remanded. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. A large mob of persons waited outside the court, expecting to get another sight of the prisoner, but in this they were disappointed. The ironwork for the Exhibition of 1862 has been given to Mr. Barrow, of Staveley, Derby, The con tract is for £60,000. A return to an order of the House of Commons shows that the total cost of the poor in the 163 unions of Ireland for 1860 was £413,596, the average daily number of persons in the workhouses being 40,369. The increased cost of 1860 over 1859 is £40,670. A parliamentary return shows that there are in England 2,326 brewers, 64,455 victuallers, 2,961 persons licensed to sell beer to be drunk on the premises, and 41,543 licensed to sell beer not to be drunk on the premises. In Scotland there are 105 brewers and 12,040 victuallers. The total in the United Kingdom is 2,510 brewers, 93,596 vic tuallers, besides the number of beer-Fellers mentioned above. A return to parliament of beer exported from the Ist of October, 1859, to the h•t of October last - , shows that from ' the United Kingdom there were 574,87 2 barrels eported, at the declared valu e of £2,055,479 --of that amount £1,891,814 was sent from England, £150,856 from Scot. land, and' £10,016 from Ireland.

He was at 'once' taken to the surgery, where he wadexamined, and found to have received a severe wound in the centre of the fore head from the point of one of the chain hooks, with several other severe bruises on the face and different parts of his body, but happily none are likely to prove dangerous. His life may be' said to have been saved solely - by 'the prompt, and unexpected arrival of the armed crew of the Argus. A gang of prisoners were employed ,in the testing-house adjoining the cable store, and these, under their warders, marched into the store and assisted the men from the Argus in convoying the gang who had committed the outrage to the convict prison at the north part of the yard. Three of the convicts who left the store on the first appearance of men from the Argus were still absent, and Kirby, a labourer in the store, with one of the seamen, started off in search of them, and found them a short distance off, two having chain -hooks in their hands, and the other one a hammer. They at first refused to listen to any one, but at length one, who appeared to be their leader, handed his chain hook to Kirby, and the other two, throwing their wea pons on the ground, they all expressed their readi ness to accompany Kirby and the seamen to the convict prison; which they did, when they were taken charge Of by the authorities. In addition to the four ringleaders who were thus secured before the ,gang'S arrival at the prison, three others we're , afterwards recognised by - Edson as having te.ken a prominent part in the outrage. The name of the supposed ringleader is stated to be Simpson. The following appointments were made yester day at the - Admiralty :—Peter Erskine, acting third-class assistant engineer, to the Cumberland as supernumerary i John T.

Great complaints have of late been made of the quality and weight of the bread served out to the troops in Portsmouth garrison, and in consequence, since the 19th inst., no less than five Boards have been assembled to investigate into and report on the matter. Portions of the bread supplied have been rejected both for short weight and quality. Her Majesty's troopship Meg era, having em barked the following troops of the Royal Artillery and the Line yesterday morning, at the Royal Arsenal pier, sailed thence, at half past 11 a.m., for Gibraltar.

BRUTAL TTEJIPT TO .ItIURDER‘ A I%l' ..114 L L'. -----#-- A short, thick-built, young fcilow, about 18 years of age, who gave the name of Frederick Strugnell, and described, himself as a butcher, residing at 1, Alma-terrace, Thornhill-road; Islington, was placed at :the bar or. the Cletkenwell Police-court,-beforc Mr. Barker, charged with boing concerned with others, not in custody, in stealing an iron chest, containing £lO5, the moneys of Mr. George Hig gins, butcher, of 47, Chapel street, Islington ; and further with murderously assaulting Mary Ann Redkison at the same time and place. _ Long before the usual hour for opening the court, the front of the building was besieged with persons anxious to gain admission. The cause of this ex citement was a rumour that an attempt had been made to murder a female at Islington on the night before. The unfortunate female was taken to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-road, last night in an insensible state, when she was at once at tended to by Mr. John Daniel Hill, the house sur geon. That gentleman found her suffering from an extensive lacerated and incised wound of the nose and forehead. The nose was smashed into the face, the bones being completely broken to pieces, and Mr. Hill removed several pieces that were hanging to the flesh and skin. There were also two other incised wounds, one on the fore head penetrating the skull, and very dangerous ;the other was at the back of the head, but not of so dangerous a character. On the wrist of the left arm there was an incised wound, and also one on the forefinger of the left hand. Mr. Hill stated that when she was admitted she presented a very ghastly appearance, was insensible from loss of blood, and although she rallied in the course of the night, she was still in imminent danger. Mr. George Higgins was the first witness exa mined. He said—l am a butcher, carrying on busi ness at 17, Chapel-street, Islington. I have known the prisoner for about three years. He was in my service about two years and a half since, and worked for me about a month at Christmas. I saw him last about five weeks since, when he came and asked me to give him a character to get another situation, which I consented to do. Last night, about ten o'clock, I returned home, and found an immense mob in front of my house. I went inside, and found that my servant, Mary Ann Redkinson, had been wounded on the head, nose, arms, and hands. She was immediately taken to the hospital. On the bed at the hospital she stated to me that the prisoner had been in the house, and had injured her. I gave information to the police, and they took the prisoner into custody. I have missed a chest with a cash-boacontaining £lO5, besides a number of rings, and other articles of some value, as well as a bank book. All the things stolen were kept in the first floor front. From what I have heard I believe that the prisoner is concerned with others in committing the felony and wounding the woman. I have not seen the prisoner since I gave him the character, but he was seen at my house three weeks ago. The prisoner said he did not wish to ask the witness any questions, but he should like to make a statement to exculpate himself from this charge. Mr. Barker cautioned the prisoner that what he did say would be taken down in writing, and might be used against him at the trial. The prisoner, who treated the matter with the greatestindifference, said—l shall make a statement. About three weeks ago I met this young woman, and she asked me to come and see ;ler some Sunday. Well, I went last evening to see her, and stayed there some time talking to her in the back kitchen. 1 then went and fetched a drop of gin. We stayed talking in the back kitchin after this for about half an hour, when she said she heard some one talking in the street, and thought the street door must be open. We went to see, and the door was wide open. She said some one was in the house. We went up stairs to see, and we could plainly see that some one had been there. We then came down stairs, and she said she was going for a policeman. Before we got to the bottom of the stairs some one came running down. That person was am h an, ou i se man struck her, and I ran out of t e h frightened. That is all I have to say. Mr. Higgins—Perhaps you will say how you got out of the house. -fi a .o t n i t t a o s r. th a A t, s t hie was know th %N e ,h ran home and got my clean clothes,struckfr 'The hhteemeaden prisoner—From S d v. iot T b e n t back to my place, where 1 re mained until I was apprehended this morning.

I 'liked him if he was positive, and he said " Yes, I have not been there." I then asked to look at the Things he had on, but I found no marks of blood on them. I then took him to the police-station, and going along he said he was never near • the place.
