"MR. STEVENS' SUBSIITUTE. The Alleged Murder at Nine Elms. Samuel Hillier, aged 29 years, a carman. was yes. terday brought up on remand before Mr. Dayman, at the Wandsworth Police-court, charged, on sus picion, with having caused the death of Charles Champion, another carman. The eviderce adduced on the first examination went to prove that between seven and eight o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 27th ult.. the deceased was discovered lying on his back outside his employer's stables in the yard of the Nine Elms Tavern. His face was smothered in blood and mud, and he appeared to have been se verely injured. Ile was teen at Nine Elms by one of hie mates at 20 minutes past 7 o'clock, ana he was then quite well. He had had a little drink, but he was able to do his work and walk steadily. After he was discovered in the stableyard he was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he subsequently expired. The only evidence affecting the prisoner was a threat used in the taproom of the Nine Elms Tavern saortly before the deceased was discovered. Between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening the prisoner entered the taproom in a state of intoxication, and stated to Maynard, a lightermen, that he mid been looking for oid Charley Champion, and that he should not best him out of a " tanner" (sixpence). Maynard cautioned him not to have anything to do with him, as he was a likely man to stick a knife into _him. The prisoner replied by using strong language, and said that if the deceased stuck a knife in him he would kick him. The prisoner re mained drinking for some little time, and when he left the taproom Maynard saw him take the turn ing leading to the stableyard, where the deceased was subsequently discovered. Mr. Jefferson, the house surgeon of St. Thomas's Hospital, now attended and stated that the deceased died on Friday, the 9th inst., from injuries he had received to the spine and brain. They were not l i likely to have been produced by a drunken man falling down, but they might have been caused by blows or kicks, especially the injury on the back. The nose was broken, and some smaller bones in the skull were also broken. Witness could not conceive how the injuries to the front and back of the de ceased's head could have been caused by a fall. Mr. George Hunt, a contractor, of Nine Elms, said the deceased was in his service. The prisoner worked for Mr. Bryant, a coal merchant, opposite to him. Witness saw the deceased while he was alive in the hospital. He told him that he was afraid he would not live, and the deceased answered that he was afraid he should not. Witness said, " Have you any idea who the parties are ?" He partially moved his head, and said " Yes, I know them." Witness asked him how it arose, and he said, " Master, I went in to get myself half a pint of beer, and because I would not spend all the six pence a lot at coalies' pitched on to me_ Jemmy would not help me, and Jemmy was the worst of all." This was all the deceased said, and witness went away, as he saw that he was faint. Inspector Abrook, who took the prisoner into cus tody, said he man Jemmy had since absconded. Mr. Wilson, who defended the prisoner, contended that the evidence of Mr. Hunt did not affect his client. _ _ _ "The substitute of Mr. Stevens provides for the issue of registered or coupon bonds to the amount of not exceeding 900,000,000 dole, payable in coin, 20 years after date, and bearing I interest at the rate of 6 per cent., payable semi annually, to be issued in such denominations, not less than 60 dols as may be determined by the Secretary of the Trea sury; also for the issuing of 300,000,000 dols of legal tender notes. The bill repeals the gold-bearing clause of former acts, excepting on bonds already issued, and repeals the act authorising the reception of legal tender notes on deposit." The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted tor the week ending the 17th of January, on 10,588 miles, to £486,870, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 10,193 miles, to £461,560, showing an in crease of 395 miles, and of £25,310 in the receipts.

They left about half past six o'clock by the front door, and walked slowly to the Plough and Harrow, Battersea-fields, a dis tance of half a mile. 'They left there at half-past seven o'clock, and also the prisoner and his wife, at the corner of Slea ford-street. The prisoner and his wife were going down the street to their home. Inspector Abrook said he could produce the land lord of the Plough and Harrow to prove that the parties entered the house in a drunken state at the time he was drawing the eight o'clock beer. Mr. Dayman said he should remand the prisoner for another week, as his own statement showed that he was concerned in some way with the affray. He consented to accept the same amount of bail— namely, two sureties of £2O each, or one in DD. The prisoner, who nad not been able to procure bail, was again locked up. RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday an inquiry took place before the city magistrates at Manchester, arising out of very ex traordinary and painful circumstances connected with the death of a lady at Manchester, who is supposed to have gone to the town for the purpose of undergoing an operation to procure abortion. The lady is supposed to have visited Manchester early in 1861, and to have undergone a surgical operation, but whether of a similar character is not known. The inquiry was brought before the magis trates yesterday in the form of a prosecution against Mr. Thomas, a respectable surgeon of that city, for wilful and corrupt perjury. From the evi dence sought to be established it appears that on Wednesday the sth of January, Mrs. Ann Bell, a widow lady from Bassenthwaite, near Keswick . , arrived at the Victoria Railway station, Manchester, by train, about midnight. It appeared that some communication had previously taken place between Mrs. Bell and the defendant, for he had given in structions that a bedroom should be prepared for her at the Cathedral Hotel, kept by Mr. Batty. Soon after her arrival at the station the defendant arrived there also, and they walked together to the hotel, where she was shown to her bedroom, into which defendant accompanied her. He only re mained there with her a very short time, and then left the hotel. The lady is then supposed to have retired to bed, but, although she appeared to have arrived at the hotel in good health, she rang the bell as early as seven o'clock in the morning for the chambermaid, and ordered a cup of tea. This girl says that when she saw her she appeared to be la bouring under considerable alarm, and said that she had passed the night in great pain. That morning (tne 6th inst.) the defendant went to the hotel be tween nine and 10 o'clock, and went into the lady's bedroom and locked the door after him. Cor rigan, the chambermaid, who was in the adjoining bedroom, says that she h eard the door locked, and went to listen at t he door, where she heard a noise such as would be produced by the placing of a pair of scissors on a table. In about 10 or 15 minutes after entering the room the defendant opened the door, and desired the chambermaid to call Mr. Batty, the landlord. Mr. Batty was called and entered the bedroom, and the defendant then an nounced to him the fact that the lady was dead. The defendant told him that the lady was suffering from some disease of the womb, and that, while under going an examination, she had been suddenly seized with a fit of epilepsy, and had died almost imme diately. It appears that subsequently the defendant locked the door of the bedroom and left the house. He then appears to have sought an interview with Mr. Herford, coroner for the city, and, after a con versation with him relative to the case, he deter mined to make a post mortem examination of the body. He next proceeded to the workhouse, where he saw the resident surgeon of that institution (Mr. Brad don), and was accompanied by that gentleman at his own request to the Cathedral Hotel, for the n purpose of making the post mortem When they arrived at the hotel the defendan t pro duced the key of the bedroom from o poc kets, and they entered the bedroom o e I 's lifted from wtnai of his ether. At Mr. Braddon's suggestion, the body the bed and placed upon some ilEyt-nut matting on Led to make the exa the floor. Mr. Braddone p mination, and it_p d that r the lady was in a state hl-I.erofvound all the organs of the body of pregnancy. y he could find nothing to account perfectly healthy ter death, but on opening the uterus ho found a foetus between five and six months old, and some Conversa t i on occurred between him and t h e d e f endant as to the sex of the child. An inquest was held in the subsequent part of the day, and the defendant then stated that deceased died irom epilepsy, lle further stated that at the post mortem examination a tumour was found in the stomach, and that there was also intense congestion of the brain. Mr. Batty's wife beingill he WaStIIIXIOUS to get thebody removed, and at his request the body was removed the same night in a coffin to the house of the defendant. The deeeesed lady (Mrs. Bell) was the widow of a substan tial yeoman at Bassenthwaite. She had been a widow nine years and was about 34 years of age at her death. Her family medical attendant was Dr. Bell, of Cocker mouth. It appears that on the day of her death the defendant sent a telegraphic message to Cocker mouth addressed to Dr. Steele, and as there was no Dr. Steele it by some chance got into the hands of Dr. Bell. He received the message late in the even ing, but he thought the facts disclosed by it s_ u o_ s re markable that h e wen t the same night to Mr. ik e i nce grave, the d ecease d l a dy' s so li c itor. In consequence of this comm u ni ca ti on M r . Musgrave s tarted u for Manchester by train early the next morning, the 7th inst. On his arrival he sought an interview ._ ___ ------ 4 - --y - •--/ ~ . e e . , ..-- -- z- e ,-,• - c - e'''e - L -- e ~/ ee "‹ / , ... , . . t • c -r____ t., -e•-----c-t/ s , ) . i PRICE .4d.

The result was that the coroner held a further inquiry. This inquiry was not made till after a second post-mortem •examination by Dr. Heath, of the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Dr. Heath said that he found all the organs of the body in a per fectly healthy state, but that the result - of his exa mination was much interfered with by the tact of IT.he previous examination. He was utterly unable to account for death from the appearances of the body, but he had certain surmises. The charges against the defendant were three special charges of perjury-1. That he had stated before the coroner on the inquest that there was a tumour in the stomach disclosed by the post-tnortena examination, such not being the fact, as proved by the surgeons who assisted to make the first post-triortern exatni nation. 2. That he had stated on such inquest that there was intense congestion of the brain and its membranes, which would be a symptom of epilepsy, which he could not have known had it been true, because the head of the deceased had not at that time been opened. 3. That he hld falsely stated also upon oath at the inquest that he had never seen the deceased or known her before meeting litr at the railway station on, the night of the sth instant, which was not true, he having seen her 12 months before, and also having an entry in his cashbook of receipt of £5 from her on the 12th Feb., 1861, a further receipt in the same book for L 5 from her so me months subsequently, end a receipt for £5 on the 17th Dec,, 1862. Mr. Musgrave also, in search ing the deceased's papers, had found among them tirce letters itt the defendant's handwritmg. The letters bad neither signatures nor dates, but, as proved by the post-marks, the first was posted in February, 1861, the second in March, 1862, and the last in January, 1863. The case occupied the whole of the day, and the inquiry had not been brought to a close when our report was despatched in th e evening. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The trials of speed of her Majesty's ships Hima laya, Enchantress, and the Tyrian, at Portsmouth, have been again unavoidably delayed, owing to the continued roughness of the weather. The iron-plated frigate Royal Oak, 34, 800 horse power, should the exertions which are now being used to complete her be continued, will be ready for undocking at Chatham in about a month or six weeks from the present date. Contrary to general expectation, the Admiralty do not intend commis sioning the Royal Oak and sending her to sea, at least for some time to come, an order having been received at Chatham directing her, when out of the hands of the dockyard authorities, to be placed in the first-class steam reserve. This altogether inex plicable order has provoked very unfavourable com ments in naval quarters, as it was generally sup posed that the Royal Oak being the first vessel on which the experiment had been tried of encasing a wooden frigate in enormous slabs of iron, so as to render her all but invulnerable to shot, no delay would be allowed to occur in testing her merits. The belief that such were the intentions of the Ad miralty was strengthened by the increasing efforts made by the dockyard officials to have her completed, and the frequent visits of Admiral Robinson, the Surveyor of the Navy, to the dockyard to ascertain her progress. It is to be hoped that the Admiralty will reconsider their present intention, as in the steam reserve the vessel will be practically useless, and as soon as she is completed and ready for sea, at once despatch her to join the iron fleet of the Channel squadron, under Admiral Smart, K.H., where an excellent opportunity will be given of comparing her sailing and other qualities with those of the Warrior, Black Prince, Defence, and the other iron steamers. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. H. Blake, to the Alecto; Lieut. G. J. G. Purcell, to the Shan non ; Sub-Lieut. Edward Seale, to the Alecto ; Sub-Lieut. the Hon. Edward S. Dawson, to the Buzzard ; John Rorie, surgeon, to the Buzzard ; Dr. Ernest Low, acting assist.-sung., to the Buz zard ; Alfred C. Carew, midshipman, to the Forte ; Reginald H. Thornton and Albert M. Ducat, mid shipmen, to the Buzzard; Charles V. Anson and Thomas B. Lacy, midshipmen, to the Alecto ; Fre derick W. Guerney, John St. V. Saumarez, and W. D. Morrish, midshipmen, to the Narcissus. ~ ~ v ~'-, ~/~/~_ THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Field-MarshalCommand ing-in-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Thurs day, the 29th inst. It is stated to be the intention of the authorities at the HorseGuards,among other important changEs, to break up the depot battalions at Chichester and Canterbury in April next, and amalgamate them with other battalions. This will considerably re duce the expenses of the Staff. Yesterday a detachment of 75 non-commissioned officers and men of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, under the command of Lieut. J. G. Fitzge rald, left headquarters to join the depot battation at Deal. Owing to the activity with which recruiting for the Royal Marines has proceeded for some time past, the division at Chatham is now unusually strong. The application on the part of the Government to extend the works of the Ordnance Department at Chatham, making it necessary to close one of the public roads, came on for discussion at a special meeting of the Local Board of Health held yester day. The committee to whom the whole subject had been referred unanimously recommended that the application of the War Department should be ac ceded to, the Board at the same time stipulating that a properly paved road, at least 30 feet in width, should be constructed by the Government, connect in with the Military-road, which latter it is proposed by the War Department to hand over to the public in exchange for the road taken. The committee further recommended that the Govern ment should undertake to pave both sides of the Military-road throughout its entire length, and also that a piece of vacant land at a corner of the road should be conveyed to the public of Chatham, on which a town hall and other public offices might be ultimately erected. After a long discussion, the report of the committee, with some slight modifica tions, was unanimously agreed to, and a committee of three members of the board appointed to confer with Col.Twiss, the commanding Royal Engineer in theChatham district,with respect to thefinal arrange ment. The addition proposed to be made to the Gover nment property will increase the Ordnance establish ment to nearly double its present extent. The undermentioned gentlemen have been ap pointed Deputy Inspectors of Hospitals on the re tired list :—Chas. H. Fuller, Jason Lardner, Henry Liddell, Edward Davies, and Chas. R. Brien. Cs seven hard from th© 1 V y Aß mont u, Thursday Ni g ht . About l nNOE'cAloßck last night, while the w i n d was blowingl .W., the b eac h men at this place o b ser ved a vessel burning lights in the direction of the Scroby Sands. Knowing the d anger of her position, they l aun ched their largest yawl to her assistance, but, owing to the violence of the sea they found they could not render any h e lp to the vessel with the yawl, and therefore returned at once for the lifeb oa t o f the National Lifeboat Institution stationed here, i n w hi ch they immediately proceeded to the shy. On arriving alongside the vessel, which was in the middle of the broken water on the sand, the lifeboat crew let go their anchor and veered down towards her. Twice they had to slip the anchor of the lifeboat before they could place her in a proper position to reach the vessel. They, however, succeeded at last, and put some of their crew on board. With the assistance of a steam tug which came up at the time, they were then enabled to take the vessel, which proved to be the schooner Emily, of London, safely into Yarmouth harbour. The night was very dark, and the schooner could not have been in a more perilous position, nor could she have been more gallantly rescued, as the sea was atoning mountains high. The vessel's crew had been in the rigging two hours when the lifeboat arrived a longside. The life boat's crew, as usual, behaved remarkab l y well. While the Caster lifeboat was engaged in this s ervice, the 1 armouth lifeboat, which also belongs to the National Instit u t ion.' came up; but s , t s a e t e i r o - ri n _ . g the Caistor lifeboat along tide, she re iled to her on Wednesday morning, Mr. Ad- A GAROTTER STIOT IN NOTTINGITM—B e t ween o'clock on was crossing 12 und l !. oo o t dlesee, the Carrington street -bridge, near the Midland Railway station, when he perce ived two suspicious-looking men following him. He quickened his pace and tried to evade them, but when he got near to the Queen's -walk one of the men attacked him, and the other came up immediately. Mr. Addlesee had taken the precaution of carrying with him a pistol charged with small shot, and, springing away from the men, turned round and shot one of them in the face. The man reeled for a second or twe, and then decamped with his companion. The men have not yet been apprehended.
