~~• MONEY MA 21T.1 1 NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been moderately ac tive, and for most of the principal staples prices have been well sustained. Tea fully supported at previous quotations. Sugars have slightly ad vanced, while coffee, rice, and spices have been in fair request at full rates. Saltpetre, however, has been dull. Tallow has been in more request and prices firm. About £31,000 in 'gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Armenian has arrived from the West Indies with £13,600 in gold. Notice has been given by the Spanish Financial Commission that the auction of the Foreign Re deemable Debt will take place at Madrid on the 28th, for which purpose the Government have assigned 3,495,872 reales.' The Stock Exchange has been thrown into a state of excitement to-day, in consequence of the failure of several members who were unable to meet their engagements. At an early hour it transpired that a member had suspended, and immediately after wards another and rather important dealer was " declared," which from the extensive nature of his transactions created great astonishment ; a species of panic then ensued, and no less than six additional failures took place. So many embar rassments have not occurred for a considerable period, and the market for English Funds has, consequently, been in a very agitated state. No reliable estimate can yet be formed with regard to the total liabilities of the re• spective defaulters, nor can any intelligence be obtained respecting the dividend each estate is likely to produce. The misfortune is, of course, attributable to the recent advance in prices, the parties in question having operated in expectation of a contrary movement, although it might have been supposed that the advance which has taken place would result as a natural consequence of the improvement in monetary affairs, and the satisfac tory completion of the harvest. The English Stock Market opened with a quiet appearance, Consols being about 9311 for money, and 931 for account. Per some time business was suspended, but prices are now at a farther advanc , , viz., about 93, 1 -, 1, and 93/ 91 respectively. The New Threes have advanced to 91 92 ; the Reduced are firm, at 9141; India Stock has risen to 222 ; ditto New Loan Scrip is steady, at 1034 104 ; Exchequer Bills, March, are 2s. dis. ; ditto, June, Bs. prem. The only feature of importance in the Foreign market has been the rise in Mexican stock—viz., to 221- . 7 7,-; Turkish 6 per Cents. are 821 4 ; ditto, 1858, 68:} Equador are firm, at 15 T 5 0 but Spanish Deferred have receded to 41Z-, and Sardinian to 79-1,-.; Russian 41 per Cents, remain at 901,. Busir ess in the Railway Share Market has con tinued moderately active, but a slight downward movement has taken place in values. Lancashire and Yorkshire have receded ss. ; North Western and South Western, 10s.; and Brighton, Midland, and South Eastern, £l. Bristol and Exeter, Great Northern, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Norfolk have improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been dull, and without material change in values. Great Western of Canada receded about ss. ; and East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula improved ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are at steady rates. London Joint Stock realise 3511; Oriental Bank, 501 ; Union of London, 27 to 27-fr ; and Royal Mail Steam, 501. BRITISH FUNDS.--CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 235 3 per Cent.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 9. The steamer Armenian, with the West Coast of Africa mail, has arrived here. She brings 34 pas sengers, and 3,400 ounces of gold dust. Her dates are—Benin, August 7; Fernando Po and Cameroons, August 1 ; Old Calabar, July 30 ; Brass River, Aug. 6 ; Nun, July 24 ; Bonny, 6 ; Lagos, Aug. 10; Acra, 12 ; Cape Coast Castle, 14; Cape Palmas, 16 ; Sierra Leone, 21; Bathurst, 25 ; Teneriffe, 31 ; and Madeira, September 2. The territory of Lagos was ceded to the British Crown on the sth of August, the King signing a treaty to that effect. A commercial treaty, favourable to British and French interests, had been negotiated with the Xing of Bodaboo. Fever was prevalent e at Bathurst. Trade on the Gold Coast was rather dull. The Armenian took the Lagos bar, and the greater part of the cargo had to be throwil over board to get her off. Her Majesty's ship Prome theus also took the bar, but got off much strained.

The Agricultural Society of Prance for the En couragement of the Breeding of Bees, held a a meeting last Week at the Model Beehive at the Luxembourg. About 100 agriculturists attended from various parts of France. The exhibition of bees, which was held in the Orangery, Was very interesting. The prcduce exhibited called forth expressi ons o f admiration from th e s pectators. It sh owe d how m uc h progress has been made w ithin year s in one of th e most lucrative industries o f rural few life. Several very important practical questions were discussed at the lueeting. The country clergy ware represented at the con gress by fi ve p ar i sh priests. One farmer i n Champagne, ins tructed in thi s ar t b y hi s parish priest, possess es a pre sent 1,000 b ee hi ves, The efforts of the society have b een attended with the best results. A superior degree of com fort has by its means been introduced into districts where it Was hitherto unknown, The rearing of b3es entails no l i dditional house rent. It re a sml capital and but little labour. It is evid q ent uires tha b ut t much r al emains to be , I ,°no wh en we consider that, while France produces V,000,000f, worth of honey and wax, she expends 60,000 000 f. in additional purchases. The Agricultural ,-;;,T l Sty are of opinioa that Franco mieht produce "',000,000f. worth of honey and wax, and - then export 0,000,000 f. worth. I Closing ;Pal,, , B us in ess Share' Railways.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The above annual regatta took place on Sunday. The weather being fine, there was a very large concourse of spectators. The wind blew very strong from the south west, which caused the sea to be very rough. The first event for decision was a four-oared race, open t) all corners, which was contended for by two crews from Hastings, one from Brighton, six from various places of the coast of France, and Bain's well-known Lambeth crew. The odds at starting was 5 to 1 on the London boat against the field. When the respective crews showed at the post, the fine con dition and style of rowing of the Londoners excited univer sal admiration. A beautiful start was effected, but they had not got 200 yards, when the Londoners began to shoot ahead, and kept their advantage to the end, winning easily by nearly a quarter of a mile. By a stupid blunder on the part of the parties appointed to carry out the details, the centre buoy was not placed in position till after the race had commenoed, which caused the London boat to pass on the wrong side. The case having been submitted to the stewards, they were disqualified, and the race was awarded to the second boat. On reaching the shore the Londoners were loudly cheered by their own countrymen. Distance 5,000 metres. Time 24 minutes and a half. The next race was a six -oared one, open to all comers. There were nine boats entered, but only seven put in an appearance, namely, one from Brighton, one from Newhaven, one from Hastings, three French boats, and Bain's crew of Lambeth. The Londoners were again the favourites at starting, in fact, it was " what odds will you take" to be accommodated. The various crews having taken up their positions, they got away in fine order at the signal, and they had gone but a very short distance when the superior rowing of the Londoners again began to show itself. After the first mile and a quarter the Lambeth crew were fully 300 yards a-head when they were caught by a heavy sea, which burst a hole in the fore part of the boat. She immediately afterwards filled, but the crew, with care, managed to bring her out of deep water, and then swam ashore. The above untoward event caused great joy to our brethren on the other side of the Channel, and equal disap pointment to the immense number of English spectators who were present on the occasion. After this unfortunate occurrence, two spirited English sportsmen challenged the whole of the French crews to row the Londoners for £lOO aside, which the Frenchmen accepted, but after a little calm consideration, our French allies thought they would be content with the honours they had by accident gained, and when the Londoners appeared at the post, none the worse of their immersion in the water, they thought of the well known lines— " He that fights and runs away, May live to fight another day," and so the contest ended. The money is still in the hands of the French authorities on behalf of the London crew. GRAND RACE BETWEEN A NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN AND E. MILLS, FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—A race of more than usual interest took place yesterday at the White Lion grounds, Hackney-wick, in which a Seneca Indian;calledDeerfoot, from . Catteraugas, contended against an Englishman named Edward Mills, a well-known runner in this country. The distance was six miles, for a stake of £5O, and the champion's belt for that run, and the feet of Cooper) being of the red skins (spoken of by J. Fenimore excitement among the lovers of such sports that several The Indian was thousands of persons assembled. being pitted against those of a paleface caused so much brought over by John Macdonald, who had the guidance of Heenan when in this country. The Indian is a fine made man, about five feet eleven inches in height, whilst his opponent is a pigmy in comparison. Deerfoot was dressed fantastically, and wore the feathers and skins em blematical of his tribe. The betting opened at evens, with the Indian for choice ; but upon appearing at the starting place the odds were 6 to 4, 7 to 4, and left off at 2 to 1 on Mill. As will be seen the race was well contested through out. When the signal was given to start the Indian took the lead, and made all the running in the first mile, at the termination of which he was four yards in front, and they alternately led by about the same distance to the fourth mile, when the Indian put on a good spurt, and increased his lead to 30 yards, giving his friends, who loudly cheered him, great hopes, but Mills put the steam on, and shot past him at the end of the fifth mile, when the Indian again roused himself up, and kept close to Mills's heels till 51 miles had been done, when both made tremendous efforts amidst great excitement, but Mills gradually went and 32 mt it n w u a t a e s. the T g h e n e e r l a n l d n i a p n i n w i e a n s t e h v a i t d e w n h t l e y n y o tra st in ou e t d , ahead, and eventually won b y a dozen yards. The time was m p u ro c p h er t l o —he having only recently arrived in England—it will re quire a good runner to beat him. He has already received some half-dozen challenges from our best pedestrians a various distances. The counter attraction of partridge shooting somewhat thinned the attendance of the upper ten thousand, and, in consequence, few but business men were attracted to the trysting place this afternoon. Business, hocever, upon the all-absorbing subject, the St. Leger, assumei a vigorous and most healthy appearance, which had the effort of removing in a measure the impression that the result was a foregone conclusion, several animals having been braight back into the market that for a time were considered tut of the race, and this infused new life into the transactims ;, no doubt some additional movements anent the Leger will exhibit themselves at Warwick, which will invest that meeting with its accustomed mystery and excitement. After some desultory conversation upon the past week's racing, business upon the St. Leger was commenced in earnest, Kettledrum appearing from the opening to the close of the room exceed - ingly firm, so much so that, after several demonstrations to send him back, his opponents appeared to favour second thoughts and readily took 7 to 4 in hundred:, at which price he would have found liberal supporters ; but the ",tattoo" was too strong for the "nerves" of the fielders, who retired under such a heavy fire, and the highest offer obtainable at the finish was 6to 4. Imaus also appeared extremely buoyant, and has evidently recovered from his reported accident; a liberal commission in trusted to a shrewd and experienced operator having exhi bited itself in the city was carried out here, and in conse quence of the eagerness evinced to " get on" he speedily advanced I o the position of second favourite, as little as 8 to 1 being noted down about him at the finish. Mr. Goater's representative, Aurelian, gave unmistakable evidence of his recent trial and its satisfactory result, from the extreme eagerness that was exhibited by those in the secret to invest, the city and the park in the morning having been visited by anxious inquirers, and at the opening of the room here a complete ovation was made to get on, at one time as little as 8 to 1 being the highest offer, but at the close a point more was offered ; but from the paucity of backers we ima gine the furor had somewhat subsided. This strong feel ing had somewhat of a prejudicial tendency towards Lady Ripon and Janus, who did not appear to go so well in the market, and 9 to I—quite a nominal price—met with no re sponse from the northern division about the former, while 12 to 1 went begging about the latter. Kildonan again receded in favour, his recent victory at Stockton with Ivanhoff appearing to supply his opponents with additional confidence, 14 to 1 being currently offered against him. The Sage was but slightly touched upon at 25 to 1, and The Roe at 30 to 1, while John Scott's quondam favourite, Brown Stout, receded to 33 to 1 offered, Bombardier representing the outside division at 1,000 to 10 offered. The Derby was only occasionally mentioned, the few transactions that took place being 25 to 1 agst Athlete, 2,000 to 30 each about Spite and Hopbine, and 1,000 to 10 agst Antares. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—MONDAY. Nothing very important was done on the Leamington Stakes, and, although several animals were supported, it would be difficult to select any particular horse as the favourite. Artless, after having been backed a few times at Bto 1, receded to 100 to 8 (offered). For the St. Leger, nothing under 2 to 1 was taken about Kettledrum, which price found takers for every offer. Imaus improved his position, and was freely supported at 8 to 1, while Brown Stout appears to have been friendless to-day, as 100 to 3, after being taken, was offered. The Roe came with some force, and up to the close we had not seen less than 30 to 1 taken, but she had every appearance of seeing a much less figure. Closing prices : s .

The inquiry was resumed this mornin g before Mr. num phreys, the name of the unfortunate man Benjamin Rush brooke being now classed amongst those who met their death on this occasion. The first witness called was Mr. William Buek, of 19, Church-terrace, Kentish-town, clerk in the railway clearing-house, who said—On the 2d of September, I was within 200 yards of the place where the accident took place. I saw the collision. The first in timation of it was while I was standing in my garden ; the side the carriages came over. The whistling first attracted my attention, a friend of mine remarking "That's the danger whistle." I then ran down the garden, put my hand on the shoulder of Mr. Garrett, who said, " Good God, the engine's gone off the line." I saw one of the carriages go over. I did not see the signals at that time: I noticed them an hour after then, they stood at " danger." A friend of mine informed me that the signal at the Kentish-town platform stood at " all right." There was not more than eight seconds between the whistle and the collision. The Coroner said the signalman Rayner was now in at • tendance, but he proposed to take all the evidence he could previous to examining him. For that reason he should take the evidence of the guard Bridges, and Scott the driver. The jury then proceeded to the University Hospital to take the evidence of Bridges, and to view the body of Rushbrooke. After this had been done the jury proceeded to Bow, and there took the evidence of Scott, which was to the effect that the signal "all right" was up at the Kentish town station when the train passed. Henry Rayner, the signalman at the Kentish-town sta tion, was examined and cautioned, but not sworn. He said I wish to be examined. On the 2d of September I was porter at Kentish-town station. On the arrival of the 6.35 p.m. train from Kew, Fessey went off duty. I do not remember whether I telegraphed to Hampstead " All clear." I know that a telegram was sent that the line was clear. The Coroner—Who sent that telegram ? Witness—l don't remember. The Coroner—Have you any doubt that Fessey had lefi at that time ? Witness—l believe he had not left the station. Mr. Park—Fessey did not leave till after seven ? Witness—He did not. By the Coroner—Fessey's time for leaving was seven o'clock. The train did not leave till five minutes past, but Fessey stopped until the train left. I did not telegraph back that the line was clear. I do not know who did. Fessey having left it became my duty to attend to the telegraph. I don't remember receiving any communication from the driver of the ballast engine as to coming out. I did not answer him by giving him leave to come out. I don't remember giving any such permission. (The Coroner repeated his questions.) I don't remember any communi cation from the driver of the ballast engine. The Coroner—Be careful. Do you mean to say you gave no permission? Witness—l don't remember. The Coroner—Did the ballast engtne come out of the sid ing before the 6.35 train passed ? Witness—No. The Coroner—How long elapsed between the regular train passing and the ballast train coming out ? Witness—lt came out directly afterwards. I saw it on the line directly after the train had passed. The Coroner—Did you in consequence put up the danger signal at the platform station. Witness—The danger signal was already on. The Coroner—When the 6.35 train passed, was the dan ger signal on the platform takrn down ? Witnees—No, it was not. The Coroner—ls it usual to put the auxiliary signal on when the train is in the station ? Witness—Before it arrives there. The Coroner—Was that taken down: Witness—No. The Coroner—Did you continue them up? Witness—Yes. The Coroner—Why ? Witness —Because I had not got " Line clear" from the Kentish -town Junction. The Coroner—lf the ballast train hal left the siding without instructions, would it have been your duty as sig nalman to take notice of it. Witness—Yes. The Coroner—Did you . take note of tt. Witness—l don't recollect. The Coroner—Did you do anything to protect the line ? Witness—No; because the line was protected by the danger signal, which was left up by my mate. The danger signals were on at the auxiliary and the station. By the Coroner—A little after seven—about 10 minutes, I received a telegram from Kentish-town Junction of the line being clear. I had a telegram from Hampstead of the approach of the excursion train. That was about 15 minutes past seven. I acknowledged it. I blocked over, "Train on line," and sent it forward to the Kentish-town Junction immediately after the excursion train had passed. That was not acknowledged from Kentish-town: Betore there was time for an answer the accident had occurred. I had not removed the up auxiliary danger signal at all, nor did I remove the up main danger signal. When the ex cursion train came through they both stood at " danger." The Foreman—You had not touched the danger signals at all ? Witness—No, not at all. By the Coroner—l have been in the employ of the Com pany since January last. I did not hear the excursion train whistle as it came through the station. A Juryman—Do you think you should have heard it whistle if it had been so ? Witness—l think I should. By the Coroner—l have made a statement to the com pany's offices. It was on the right of the accident. I was asked how the accident happened, and made a statement which was taken down in writing. I did not make exactly the same statement then that I made now. The Coroner—Will you tell me why ? Witness—At the time I made the statement the same evening I hardly knew what I was about. The Coroner—Which is the true one ? Witness—This is the true one. By Mr. Miller—l did not sign the statement. lam 19 year of age. I was never in the employment of any com pany before. I don't remember whether in my former statement I said I gave permission to the ballast driver to come out. I was in the hut when the excursion train was coming. I had no light in my hand. I did not know what I was about when the accident occurred on account of the excitement. By Mr. Metcalfe—At no time between the time that Fessey left and the collision did I touch the signals. I cannot remember whether I stated in my former report that I pulled down the signals, and put them up just as they were before. (The statement of the report was read, in which the witness said that he took down the signals and put them up again.) I did not touch the signals. Mr. Metcalfe—Do you mean to say that the driver passed those signals while they were at danger ? Witness—Yes, I do. Mr. Metcalfe —Have you not stated in your report that you pulled down the signals, and that seeing the ballast train on the line you put up the danger signals again F Witness—l don't recollect. Mr. Metcalfe—Have you not said so ? Witness—lt is not true. f (Mr. Metcalfe—Be careful, and try to remember what you did say. Witness—l don't remember. Mr. Metcalfe—What is the difference between your for mer and your present statement ? Witness—This is the true one. Mr. Metcalfe—ls the difference this—that in your former statement you said you took down the signals and put them up again, and that in this you state that you never touched them ? "Witness—This is the true one. Mr. Metcalfe—But is what I have said what you said on a former occasion ? Witness --I don't recollect. Mr. Metcalfe—Did you say in your former statement that the excursion train was within but a few yards of the signal when you put it on again ? Witness—l don't recollect. Mr. Metcalfe—Did you say you took off the danger signal ? Witness—l might have said so. A Juror—Were the danger signals on which the excur sion train passed? Witness—They were. Mr. Metcalfe—l ask you again whether on your former examination you said that you took down the danger sig nals? Witness—l might have said so. Mr. Metcalfe—Have you told Mr. Walters (a gentleman THI RD„EDITIO N. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. 4 in court) that you gave the ballast engine driver permission to come out Witness—l don't know. He drew out of his own accord. Mr. Metcalfe—Did you tell any body next morning that you took the danger signals off and put them on again when it was too late ? Witness—l don't recollect. Mr. Metcalfe —Did you say so to Mr. Chubb, the secre tary of the North London Company ? Witness—l don't recollect having done so. By Mr. Park (his counsel)—At the time I made my former statement I was in a great flurry. lam quite cer tain that at the time the excursion train passed I am quite sure the danger signals were up. When I received the tele gram of the excursion from the Hampstead station the bal last train was on the line. As soon as the excursion train passed I came out of the hut to take off the danger signals, which were both up at the time. At the time of the pass ing of the excursion train the ballast train was on the crossing not on the siding. When I left my hut the excur sion train had passed my station, and the collision 'took place immediately afterwards. Although I went to take the danger-signals off. I did not, as the excursion train had passed the auxiliary. When I made a statement to the officers of the company I did not know it was to be used as evidence. The statement was made to the inspec tor of police. It was read over to me, but I did not sign it. I was formerly in the office of the solicitor of the company, but retired from it on account of my deafness. A Juryman—What are your wages ? Witness—Four. teen shillings a week. A Juryman—And how long do you work ? Witness— Fifteen and a half hours one day, and 10 hours another. By Mr. Pack—l have to attend to the passengers and their luggage, and to the signals as well. A Juryman—What is your duty when you get a tele- gram from Kentish-town Junction to say that the line is clear ? Witness—To take the danger signals off. A Juryman—Did you take off the signals when you received a telegram that the ordinary 6.35 train had passed ? Witness —No. A Juryman—Why ? Witness--Because the ballas train was on the crossing, and I left• the signals up to pro tect it. A Juryman—Did you expect the excursion train at all ? Witness—No. I had no intimation of it. A Juryman—But you knew that some excursion trains wPri. earning 2—Witness—ye s ; but not at that time. My information was that there were excursion. trains to come between 8 and 93.0. The Coroner said this was all he had to adduce, and he would proceed to read the evidence, and then having made some commeni s upon it he would ask the jury to consider their verdict. Having gone through the evidence, the Coroner said the responsibility rested either with the driver of the excursion train, who ran through in disregard of the danger signals, or Rayner, who failed to put up these sig nals of danger.

CORONER'S INQUEST--(THIS DAY, The adjourned investigation into the circumstances at tending the death of the unfortunate woman Cogan was resumed this afternoon, at the Archer public-house, New ton-street. It will be recollected, when the inquiry was first opened, that Cogan, who stands charged with the murder of his wife, was in such a dangerous state, from the wounds in flicted on his neck, that he was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital, where he has remained, under the care of the police, until to-day. Cogan arrrived from King's College Hospital a few minutes before two o'clock in custody of Inspector Mac kenzie, of the F division of police, and immediately had an audience with his solicitor, Mr. G. Lewis, of Ely-place. The Coroner said as Cogan was now present he proposed that the evidence taken in his absence should be read over, in order that he might make any statement he thought proper. The evidence of Sarah Harwood, the deceased's sister, was then read over to her. In answer to questions from Mr. Lewis, she said her sister was rather of a hasty temper. She never knew that de ceased had been in custody for stabbing her husband. The deceased was very much attached to Cogan, and she never knew them to quarrel except when she had been taking drink with him. Police -constable 144 F was next called. It will be recol lected that this was the constable who took the prisoner into custody in Holborn, on the morning of the occurrence, and bis evidence was to the effect that he saw Cogan and his wife quarrelling previous to the death of the woman, and also that afterwards he conveyed Cogan to King's College Hospital. In reply to questions put to him by Mr. Lewis, he said —When he first saw deceased with the prisoner she was wrangling with him. Would swear that when he saw Cogan in Holborn he did not say " Has your wife cut your throat." He asked him if he had cut his wife's throat, and he nodded his head. Police-constables 36 and 82 F, said that Cogan was never asked by either of them if his wife had cut his throat. The question he was asked was, " Have you cut your wife's throat." Mr. Paynter, the surgeon, who examined the body of the deceased woman, said the cuts on the deceased's throat could not have been inflicted by herself. The wound com menced at the centre of the back of the neck across the right side of the throat, and tailed off to a mere scratch on the left collar bone. If the deceased had inflicted the wound upon her neck herself she could not have thrown the razor where it was found. The effect of the injury would have rendered her immediately powerless, and she would have sunk down, and the instrument would have been found in her hand or very close to it. He had since he had given his evidence made a post mortem examina tion of the body and found other appearances, which forti fied him in the opinion that the deceased could not have inflicted the injuries by her own hand. In reply to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Paynter said he thought it quite impossible for the deceased to have severed what is vulgarly called "Adam's apple" in her throat, as in her case, which is by no means common in persons of the age of deceased, it had partly become bone, and was completely cut in half. To effect such a cut great violence must have been used. Inspector Mackenzie said in an interview with the pri soner, which he had on the 12th of August, he asked him what he (Mackenzie) was to do with his furniture. He said, " What's become of my wife ; is she remanded ?" He told him she was dead, and he began to cry. Cogan went on to say that the day before the murder he had been to a funeral, and on his arrival home he asked his wife to go up stairs. This she refused to do at the time, but afterwards she came up and inflicted the wound on his throat as he was lying on the hearth-rug. Mr. Lewis asked if the witness remembered that the de ceased had been charged with assaulting her husband with a knife. Inspector Mackenzie said he recollected something of the kind, but ho thought she was discharged, as the husband did not appear against her in the morning. The evidence of the other witnesses on the first examina tion, which contained nothing very material, having been read over, Mr. Fm tescue, house surgeon of King's College Hospi tal, described the wound on Cogan's neok when he was brought to the hospital. The injury could either have been inflicted by his own hand or by another person. It was in the position suicidal wounds generally are. Police -constable 50 F said, on the 3d of August he was on duty in the hospital. The chaplain was reading prayers to Cogan, who put both his hands together and said, " I did not do it I I did not do it I She done it. I've nothing to forgive, she done it." Cogan the next day said "I was lying on the hearthrug, and I found her drawing a razor or knife across my throat. Me and missts had words before we got up stairs. As soon as I found her cutting my throat I ran down stairs into Holborn and met a policeman there. I showed him my throat and he asked me who done it. I drew my hand across, and said I did it myself." On the following Wednesday Cogan said "I wish you to tell me the truth—is my wife dead, and am I charged with killing her 2" Cogan has repeatedly said "As true as there's a God in Heaven, I did not do it. She must have done it herself." Cogan has also said his wife had been charged with stabbing him. A juror asked if Cogan had been cautioned by the police man before he made any of the statements that whatever he might say would be used against him ? The constable said he had not. The Coroner said nothing could have been more straight forward than the conduct of Inspector Mackenzie. He had acted throughout the proceedings with the greatest judg ment and prudence, and with a spirit of fairness that did him the greatest credit. Mr. Lewis said his client was anxious to give his evi dence; and having taken the oath, the coroner duly cau tioned him. He then said—My name is William Cogan. On the 2d August I was living at 2, Newton-street. The deceased was my wife, and I bad beeen married to her 11 years. On the 2d of August I had been to my godfather's funeral, and returned home about five. In the evening I went out, and on my return home I found my wife ab sent. She was out drinking. I met her about 1 o'clock in the morning. I met her at the door, which she slammed in my face. I pushed it open, and went into the passage, when she struck me more than once. I walked to the top of the street for quietness. I have no recollection of taking any ale that evening. When I returned home, after a short absence, my wife was not there ; and as the bed was not down, I threw myself on the floor near the fire place. I went to sleep. I don't recollect anything, but I found my • self down at the door. I have no recollection of feeling anything in the room. She must have done something to wake me up. I found, when I got into the street, that I was bleeding, and got very weak. I went to the policeman, and made motions to him to take my wife into custody for cutting me. I was then taken to the hospital. I never inflicted the slightest injury on my wife. We generally lived comfortably, but we have lived separate, and I allowed her 10s. a week. She once stabbed me with a knife in the arm and other places. I gave her into custody, but I did not appear against her. She hail on previous occasions cut nay head by throwing things at :me. When my wife was sober there could not have been a kinder woman. An entry from the police charge book was then handed in. It was as follows : Mary Ann Stokes Cogan, aged 28—Violently assaulting her husband by cutting him with some blunt instrument, Oct. 3, 1860. Discharged, no complainant. The Coroner having summed up, The jury retired, and after nearly an hour's deliberation returned a verdict of wilful murder against Cogan. TIIE CIVIL TVAR IN AMERICA. "To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

LAW LNTELLIGENCE—rThis Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was the commissioner of the day, and there was a long list of cases, many of which were audit and dividend meetings, to clear up as far as possible the cases outstanding in this court under the present bank ruptcy law. IMPORTANT QUESTION -IN RE PRESTON. This bankrupt was described as of Kingsland, to bacconist, and he now came up for his certificate. Mr. Pook, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the bank rupt ; and Mr. Beard, of the same place, as a creditor, and also as solicitor for other creditors ; Mr. Apps for the as signees; and neither of them opposed. Mr. Pook addressed the Court, and submitted that although the bankrupt was in prison on the action of one creditor, the fact that neither the assignees nor any of the other creditors (the assignees being themselves creditors) did not oppose, the bankrupt was justified in asking for an immediate certificate. His Honour said that, under the circumstances, he would grant an immediate certificate of the third class. Mr. Pook then applied for the discharge of the bankrupt from custody on two grounds; first, that the detaining creditor had not proved his debt, and, secondly, that the bankrupt was released by his certificate. _ _ _ Mr. Bagley contended that the certificate did not operate until the day after it had been gazetted. The case stood over for consideration. IN RE COX. This bankrupt, a tailor at Pimlico, obtained a certificate of the 2d class, Mr. Pook for the assignees not opposing. IN RE MUNDY. This bankrupt was described as a cook and confectioner of Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, and now surrendered under a petition presented by Mr. W. R. Buchanan, Basinghall-street. The amount of the de4ts and assets have not yet been ascertained. IN RE SLEEP. This bankrupt was described of *the "Abbey Arms," Abbey Wood, and surrendered under his bankruptcy. Mr. Buchanan is the solicitor to the petition. THIS DAY'S AEARKETS. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.--MeadOW hay, £2 103 to £5 58 Od; clover do., £3 108 to £6 Os ; and straw, £1 4 s to £1 123 per load.
