CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of France has raised its rate of dis count from 6 to 7 per cent., and the quotations at Amsterdam has been carried from 4 to 44 per cent. A corresponding announcement is expected in some other continental cities, and considerable interest is felt with regard to the future course of monetary affairs in this country. Many imagine that the Ank of England direr:tors would have altered their regulations to the extent of 1 per cent. this morn ing, hut no such change has occurred, and the dis count marked is now quieter ir. consequence. Busi ness, however, is refused, except at full quotations, and discounters show an inclination to await the further progress of events rather than lock up the capital at their command on the present terms, When others of a more remunerative character may shortly prevail. The Bank of England return, for the we e k ending Wednesday last, is less unfavourable than had been generally predicted. The bullion has been reduced, but there is an increase in the re serves, and the discount operations of the establish ment have been augmented only to a moderate extent.

There is a falling off of X 20,000 in the advances, and of £410,000 in the current accounts. The notes in circulation have been aug mented by £520,000, and the Treasury balances £555,500. A large amount of specie has been announced this morning, the La Plata, from the West Indies, having brought £280,000, and the Scotia, from New York, £33,000. During the last few days there has been rather more activity in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. A better inquiry has prevailed for sugar, and prices have again slightly advanced. Coffee, however, has continued inactive. At the public sales of tea, just concluded, full rates were gene rally obtained, while the operations in rice, fruit, spices, and saltpetre, have not led to any material change in values. fhe tallow market has continued dull, and prices for both present and forward de livery have slightly given way. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. R entes Were 67f. 47c. b7f. 45c.—Rather firm. The advance in the rates of discount at Paris and Amsterdam caused the English Stock Market to close yester lay at a lower range of prices, although a little more firmness was exhibited at the last moment in consequence of higher prices fr om the French Bourse. To-day a much better fee ling prevails, and a few purchases have led to an advanc e of about 1 per cent., Consols now being 92 i s I for transfer, and 911 1 lees the dividend for the a ccount. The Bank of England return has assisted in imparting greater strength to the market , The N ew Threes and the Reduced Annuities have oeen a little flatter at 901 ; Exchequer Bills are about Bs. to 4s, discount ; Indian 5 per Cents 1082,-1 and the Enfaced ditto, 1051.

THE TRIPLE MURDER IN A CAB. CORONERS' INQUEST.-PHIS DAY. This morning, Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest at the Rose and Thistle Tavern, Warner road, Camberwell, on the body of Samuel William Hunt, the husband and father of the female and two children who were found dead in a cab, under the terrible circumstances already so generally known. Mr. Hubert Wood, solicitor, attended to watch the pro ceedings on the part of the relations of the deceased, and Inspector Tanner, of the detective force, was present by direction of the Commissioners of Police. The Jury having been sworn, The Coroner said they assembled that morning to in quire into the causes attending the death of William Samuel Hunt, and the questions they would have to consider was, first, whether the deceased died from his own hand, the condition of his mind at the time, and whether he could be considered in such a state as to he responsible for his own actions. The jury having viewed the body, returned to the inquest room. The following witnesses were called and examined : Inspector Molloy, of the E division, said—Shortly after 10 o'clock on Monday night, in company with Inspector Smith, I went to Ann's Cottage, Warner-road, Camber well. We saw no light when we arrived, and then Inspec tor Smith knocked at the door. Not receiving an answer he knocked again. Coroner—Before you knocked the second time was any thing heard within the house ? Witness—No, sir ; but immediately after I heard a noise in the passage. It was a sort of coughing, and as of a person moving about in the dark. I called Inspector Smith's attention to it, and then he gave a loud knock, and immediately a person inside called out, "Who's there ?" I said, " Open the door, if yeu please ; we want to speak to you." I heard the chain of the door removed, and the door was opened. There was no light; but I saw a man in his shirt. He said, " Who are you—the police ; what do you want ?" and he immediately made towards the stairs, I said " Stop ; where are you going ?" He replied, " For a light." Inspector Smith said "I've a light," and he turned on his lamp, saying to the deceased "Where do you, want to go." To which he replied " Upstairs to my bedroom." Coroner—ls the person you have seen dead the same man ? Witness—He is, Inspector Smith then preceded de ceased upstairs and I followed. Itamediately we entered the bedroom deceased sat on the bed and commenced retch ing very much and was sick. He did the same on going upstairs. When he recovered he said, " What do you want with me." I said " Have you read the account of the mar der on Saturday last ?" He replied, "Yes, I was reading it this evening." I said, from information we have had, I believe your family is not at home. He said, "That's right; they went to Southampton on Friday." We cau tioned the deceased when he first entered the bedroom, and after I said, "You answer the description," and we must take you into custody on suspicion of being the murderer. He said, " How were they dressed ?" Smith said they wore dark clothing. Deceased replied, "It can't be my family, for they all wore light dresses when they left here." Find ing he continued vomiting, Inspector Smith asked himwhat he had been taking. He said, "I took a small portion of gin, before I went to bed, which I found in a bottle." We then told him he must dress immediately and go with us. He did so ; and on the way to the station he said he hoped it was not his family, but he would not be surprised. His wile led him a wretched life; and the children had told him some time back that one day when they were out for a walk with their mother they met a gentleman, who took them for a ride in a cab; that he was very kind to them, and much like himself, viz., that he wore a moustache. Imme diately on arriving at the station Dr. Puckle was sent for, and immediately attended. Finding the deceased was get ting worse, we sent for Dr. Massey. While Dr. Puckle was attending him he appeared perfectly sensible. The vomit was of a lightish colour. When Dr. Puckle came in he asked him what he had been drinking, and deceased said some gin, upon which the doctor said " Havn't you been taking something else," he said "No. Don't you know me, you attended my wife some time ago. She was lying on a mattress, we had been moving and had not got the furniture into the house." Dr. Puckle said he remembered the cir • cumstance. Deceased then said, " I shall get round directly, my heart is affected and the excitement has caused me to be in this way." At this time he was retching very much. Dr. Puckle attempted to administer an an tidote saying, " take this it will de you good," but ac cording to my mind there was a disinclination to take it, as it was all spilt. On the second attempt deceased's head was held back, and the mixture was poured down his throat. There was a slight force required but not much. After a short time deceased said, "I'm dying, let me lie down." He did so, but shortly after he called out, " I'm better now lift me up, I lost my eyesight for a short time and could not see, but now I can see very well." This latter remark was made after he had been assisted up. He attempted to walk about, but he staggered very much, and he was placed iu a chair, when be again exclaimed, " I am dying fast." His eyes closed, his head dropped, and he appeared to be unconscious for a short time, but all of a sudden he started on his feet and said, " I want to write something before I die; give me pen, ink, and paper. I hope I shall live to finish it." He then wrote the paper I now hand in. It was read as fol lows :—" Mr. M'Culloch, pay to my wife £l2O, due 17th September last, and the remainder due to me." Deceased, after he had done so, said to me "I wish you would take charge of it, as Mr. M'Culloch owes me 18 months' back wages. I wish that and the £4O I have in my pocket to be given to my wife and children, if they are alive." We then assisted him to a chair, when he requested to be placed on the ground as he was dying, and after he had been there a short time he again seemed to rally, and said, " I know how she died ; she took prussic acid." I said, " Your wife ? Where did she get it?" He replied " I had it in the house—she took it." In a short time after that ho expired in an insensible state. I omitted to state until the present moment that when Dr. Puckle first saw deceased he asked what he had been taking, to which he re plied, " I think there was something else in the glass, I believe I have taken aconite." In searching the deceased's house, there is a cupboard in the bedroom in which I found 12 or 14lbs. of soap, cut in pieces, and a small bottle con taining a fluid. I handed it to the doctors, who were pre sent. The bottle had neither stopper nor cork. I searched the house carefully to find either, but could not. Coroner—Rave you taken any steps to discover whether his family went to Southampton ? Witness—There is no such street as that to whi'h he had said they had gone. Coroner—After you entered the house had he any oppor tunity of taking anything ? Witnt ss—No ; I am certain he did not. When I entered the room I saw some vomit in the utensil. When he sat down on the bed he Look it up apparently as if he had been using it before. The fluid in the bottle looked to me like a dark kin - i of oil. I don't know the e a avia of prussic acid. Coroner—What amount of time was there between the first and second knock at the door? Witness—Just sufficient for a person to come to the door. I should say about a minute and a half elapsed before he came down. I don't think he had time to take anything between the interval that elapsed between the knocking and opening of the door. It was impossible for him to have seen us before the door was opened, because we took care to place ourselves in such a position to prevent that. The bed had been used when we saw it. Dr. Puckle said, I practice as a surgeon. and reside at Denmark-hill. Last Monday night I was called to the station-house, at Camberwell-green ' minutes after a few e leven o'clock. I there found deceased sitting in a chair. I know him to be a person of the nam e of Hu n t He w re t c hing violently at the time. Hi s countenance ;as pallid, ss the eyes presenting a remarkable a ppe arance —th e pupil very much dilated. I felt his pulse, which was scarcely p erce ptible. The action of the h ear t was extremely feeble, but, with the exception of the retching, his breathing was regu lar . I asked him what h e had been taking, and he sai d only some gin. I said y ou'v t a ken more char that — what is it ? He replied, N o .'' put my nose to his mouth, but could n o t d etect any P I arti cular effluvia. The retching was violent and spasmodic but he did not complain of any sensation at the c h es t. thought he had taken a, narcotic irritant poison. I at tempted to administer sulphate of zinc in water. He ob jected to take it. I said, "Come, Come, Hu n t, you k now me, take it." He allowed his mouth to be co m pl ete l y f i lled, but he spat it out again. I had with me a second dose of the emetic, which I took care that he should swallow. He did not appear to have the power to resist. The mixture passed easily down his throat. After the em e ti c h e vomited immediately, and then exclaimed, "Oh my heart." I roused him up to ascertain whether he could stand, but he staggered across the room, almost knocking his head against the wall. He did not seem to h ave th e power to raise his arms. I asked hi m again what he had taken, ana he still said only some gin- I asked hi m f rom w h ence he had taken it, and he said f rom a six ounce bottle. He appeared to doze for a few minutes, when he revived, and said he had had such delightful dreams. I Lotted him if he had any poison in the house, to which he said, " I procured some prussic acid some time ago, intending to destroy myself. I. walked abo u t f or n i g ht s , I felt so miserable. But it is not in the house now. My wife must have taken it with her when she went into the country on Friday." Some one asked I , im if he had taken prus s ic acid. Ho said, ,4 No, or I should not h ave b een here now;" showing his knowledge of the drug. I asked aim if he had any other poison, to which he sa id h e h a d a packet of opium. I a g ain asked him what he had taken, ani he then said, " I may have taken . aconite—l think it was." H e lived about a quarter of an hour after making that observation.; I have never seen a case of poisoning by aconite, but, from reading, the effects are consistent with those produced by aconite on the human frame. I received from an officer a bottle, which I produce. It was given to me by Molloy. It contained about two drops of a liquid the colour of sherry. I have tested it, and have come to the certain conclusion it w as aconite. I tasted it, and it produced a complete deadening of the tongue. Aconite is procured from a plant known as monkshood. I have no doubt about the mixture being acronite ; 1.50 of a grain will destroy lif e in certain animals, but, accordin g to the opinion of D r . T a yl or , t en minims of ac ronite will produce death in a human being. I have made a post-mortem examination of the body in company with 'goers , H. , Massey and Flower. The examination was mad e 42 how s after death, The body was well formed. There was extretae rigidity of the muscles. On opening the head I found the brain healthy, the blood vessels being fuller than usual. The ventricles contained very little fluid, and there was no effusion at the base of the brain. The heart presented a healthy appearance, but the right side was greatly distended, the left side was con• traoted, and did not contain any blood. Tho struc ture of the heart and lungs were quite healthy. I have analysed the contents of the stomach, and found it to contain aconite in small quantities. I have no doubt that death was produced from that poison. I detected it in large quantities in the vomit. Aconite does not produce immediate prostration. It has not so immediate an effect as prussic acid. By Mr. Herbert Wocd— I have known the deceased for some time, but I never noticed anything peculiar in his manner. The Coroner said he thought upon the subject of the poisoning it was quite conclusive, and therefore they might well pass to another branch of the case—viz the motive or state of deceased's mind. The suggestion being assented to Adolphus Orlando Ritchie was then examined. He said —I am in the service of Messrs. Butler and MacCulloch, herbalists, druggists, and seedstuen, of Covent-garden market. I know the deceased. He was employed by the firm as traveller and shop assistant. He used to take samples out when he went his journeys. Last Monday afternoon he told me to get some things from the ware house for him. He was then in the shop serving customers. He came about half-past one in the afternoon and remained till half-past seven in the evening. I saw him the whole of that time. I did not notice anything unusual in his appearance or conduct. He told me to get him some oil of juniper, oil of roses, tincture of aconite, and essential oil of almonds. None of the bottles produced are those that I gave him. All the bottles were labelled except the aconite. He did not usually require aconite. Two of the bottles were to be sent out to the Waterloo-road, and the aconite and oil of almonds were to be called for. I told him the aconite had no label, and he said he would write one and place it on the bottle We do not keep prussic amid in a pure state. Any article he required would be supplied without the least hesitation. He usually asked for what he required if it was not kept in the shop. This was the case with the aconite. All the goods are kept under leek, the 'warehouseman keeping the key. The aconite could not have been got without going to the warehouse. We do not sell essential oils re: ail. Our business in those articles is chiefly with chemists. The deceased was not at the shop on Saturday. Mr. Charles M'Culloch said the deceased was in my ser vice. His name was Samuel William Hunt. He had been in our service about three years as traveller, and when at home, assistant in the shop. I last saw him alive last Mon day. He was then in the shop attending to business. He remained till half-past seven. I did not notice anything out of his usual manner, which was reserved and morose, but to me he was always very respectful. I have com plained to him about incivility to customers, and he made uo reply, but seemed to regret he had done anything to dis please 'an, person. I never gave him any order to procure the aconite. I had received an order for oil of rosemary and oil of juniper, and it was given to the deceased. The direction given hirn was a written one, but T know nothing about the aconite or oil of almonds, The rosemary and juniper was sent to the place as directed, but nothing fur ther had been heard of the aconite and almonds, neither had been discovered. George Gooll, of 5, Ann's-place, Camberwell, cabman, said he was on the rank at the corner of the New-road on Saturday evening, when a female and two children hired him to drive them to the Eastern Counties Railway. After he had driven a short distance a gentleman hailed him from the path, and said he wanted to go to the Eastern Counties Ra il wa y, He said he knew the lady, and it was all right. When he had driven as far as the corner of Worship-street, by the direction of the man he pulled up at a chemist's s h o p, when the woman got out, and went into the shop. After remaining there a short time, she re-entered the cab, and told him not to drive up to the platform, but to set them down before they came to the entrance. He did so. The ma n paid the fare, and ha then drove home. The deceased man is the person who hailed me after the woman and chil dren had first hired me. He was positive about the mat ter. He had quite sufficient opportunity to see his features. He had no doubt about the matter at all. Th e on ly luggage was a small parcel carried by the woman. It was about 7 o'clock when they arrived at the railway station. He saw Hunt at the station house, and then he said he was quite certain it was the same person as paid him his fare at the Eastern Counties Railway station. On that occasion he wore a moustache, but it had since been ' shaved off. He gave his information to the police imme diately atter reading the particulars published in the papers on Monday evening. William Parker. the cabman, who was engaged to drive the deceased parties to the Royal Oak, Paddington, and who gave his evidence at the inquest held before Dr. Lan kester on Monday last,was then examined, and repeated his statement with respect to the parties inside his cab taking some beer at a public house in Bishopsgate-street. He said he was certain it was the man who held the pot upside down after the beer was drank, as he saw his hand and coat sleeve eut of the cab window. When the man got out of the cab he did so as quick as it was possible to do, and closing the door after him he paid 4s. for the fare, and told him to drive them safe to the Royal 03k, saying they would be all right by the time they got there. He never heard the slightest noise in the cab. He identified the deceased as the man who hired him to drive from Bishopsgate street to Balswatet, on Saturday, and who got out of the cab at Furnival's-inn. Mr. Currey, surgeon, at St. Mary's Hospital, said he had made a post mortem examination of the three bodies, and upon that he had come to the conclusion that th e woman and the two children died from the effects of came either prussic ac id or c y anide of potassium. C a chem wo is m t, an of 18, to my shop an d as k e d f or Norton - folgate, said—On Saturdayyrus Fay,evenin g a two draughts for a g entleman who had taken a little t o o much to drink. She wished them havou red with cinna- men and cardamons. I made up two draughts of bicordone of potash, sal volatile, compound tincture of cardamons, and cinnamon water, for which she paid me. She also bought a medicine glass, but before paying for it she asked me if I would allow her to take it to the cab to ask the gen tleman whether it would do. She returned, saying it would not answer, and she then purchased a small tumbler in a case called a medicine glass. lam certain there was nothing else in the mixture I sold the female but what I have stated. William Imrie, hairdresser, 420, Strand, said last Wed• nesday or Thursday a gentleman came into my shop and said he wanted to purchase a moustache. I sold him a frizzy one, and fastened it on his upper lip. He asked me if it looked natural, and I told him it did, and he left the shop with it on. It altered his appearance very much. I had a good opportunity of looking at his features. I have seen the deceased, and I am positive he is that person. The Coroner said that was all the evidence which would be laid before them. There did not appear to be any doubt as to the deceased being the destroyer of his life, and the question for them to decide was whether he committed the deed whilst labouring under insanity, or whether he adopted that course in order to escape the ignominy of being pub licly executed. The room was then cleared, and on the admission of the public, The Coroner said the jury found averdict of fele de se, and he accordingly issued his warrant for the burial of the self murderer to-night, between the hours of 9 and 12. The inquiry then terminated. The Prince and Princess of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, Nov. 12. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales went out shooting yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, attended by the Countess of Morton, drove out yes terday afternoon. _ _ Hisßoyal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by Lieutenant• General Knollys, Major 'Eeesdale, and Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, paid a visit to the Castle Rising estate this morning, and spent the day shooting with Lord Alfred Hervey and other noblemen invited to meet his royal highness. Mr. Odo Rusell left Sandringham House this morning for town. The Prince of Wales has not yet been out with the West Norfolk hounds, but has graciously inti mated his intention of subscribing 50 guineas per annum towards the pack. The Duke of Leinster has left his residence on Carlton House-terrace for Carton House, his seat near May nooth, Ireland, for the winter, The Rirl and Countess of Warwick are shortly expected at their residence in the Stable-yard, St. James's, from their country seat.

Two Vole. Smith and Elder. These two really magnificent volumes are the result of a most happy inspiration. It was a giorious idea to celebrate at once the art and the artist, to com memorate in one charming series of charming biographies—" a linked sweetness long drawn out" —those " Queens of Song" who, in the present and past century, have enraptured and enthralled so many hearts and ears. As we turn over these pages what names, familiar and famous, greet our eyes and call up heart-thrilling reeollections—Malibran, and Pasta, and Sontag, and Grisi, and the rest of the glorious sisterhood, from Katharine Tofts and Mar. garita de L'Epini, the prime donne of 1700, to Miss Louisa Pyne and Madlle. Titiens, the fair favourites of 1863. Such a record must necessarily be inte resting, and, with its stores of anecdotes, must ne cessarily also be most amusing. But these bio graphies have yet higher claim to our attention. They are written in a most charming natural style, and the authoress has displayed a happy power of seizing upon the most prominent characteristics which work the peculiar individualities of the heroines she describes. The hopes and fears, the early pronaise,the rising ambition,the disappointments,and the brilliant triumphs, of these Queens of Song, are described in vivid colours, and are to the full as attractive as a romance. As an evidence of how well the authoress appreciates the task she has undertaken, let us quote from her preface this truth ful enumeration of the dangers and delights of— THE PRIMA DONNA. " Her story is often of touching and romantic interest, and her fate points an impressive moral lesson. Gifted with powers designed to delight the world, and, in most instances, combined with personal attractions that mate rially enhance the charms of vocal and histrionic efforts, the debutante emerging from the severe labour of her musical studies, enters at onco on the dazzling but dan gerous scene of her future triumphs ; endued with sensi bility of no ordinary kind, refined by the cultivation of her voice and ear, and often with the strong and wayward im pulses of genius, her first success in a moment transforms the ohrralis into the butterfly, destined to flutter in the blaze of theatrical splendours. Fascinating the public, and gratifying the intellectual lovers of sorz, while her beauty and powers remain in their lull perfection, the fair and accomplished yt.ung vocalist cannot but captivate many hearts, and thus becomes surfeited by the lhtteries of the spoiled children of fortune, and lured by the wiles of subtle and interested admirers. The intoxication of success fol. lowing close upon the absorbing studies, and the doubts and fears that beset the debutante, must be a severe trial to the sensitive and aid-int young creature, who, when acknow ledged as Prima Donna,' finds the world a, her feet, and is the cynoAlre of the great, the gifted, and the wealthy of society." Such are the attractive heroines whose fitful for tunes tire here pourirayed with ao mach of apprecia tive sympathy. The first of these vulumes contains no less than nineteen, the second as many as twenty biographies. They are profusely illustrated with anecdotes and incidents of the ti nes to which they relate. These anecdotes and incidents are, of course, not all here related for the first time, but they are selected with discrimination and given with piquancy and effect. The second volume opens with the life of Giuditta Pasta, one of "the sweet singers of Israel," and the sympathy with which the narrator follows the fortunes and enters into the feelings of the subjects of her narratieo is here very remarkably evidenced. Madame Pasta . made her debut when only eighteen; bat her first seasen was not a success. She returned to Italy, and studied assiduously for more than a year. "An English nobleman, who saw ner at this time, said that her exertions were unremitting. ' Other singers,' said he, ' find themselves endowed with a voice, and leave everything else to chance. This woman leaves nothing to chance, and her success is certain.' " On her re-appearance that success wail assured. Here is a happy glimpse of her triumphant portrayal of Desdemona : "Her great triumph was in Otello.' In Desdemona she produced an indescribable effect upon the audience. Of the impassioned energy, the spirit, the delicacy, and tender ness which Madame Pasta infused into the characters, pages might be written. In the celebrated scene which closes the second act, commencing thus— ' Se it padre en' abbandoni Da chi sperar pieta,' fear, anguish, and despair were successively expressed in her countenance, and the pathetic singing of the lovely melody, Assisa a pile d'uu solice,' touched every heart. In this part those melting tones, which are designated 'the in t the eir o ol fi fs h teD e os nen v ses o den i le c ,' eor u however, nwe innocence a r s e h h t ar e s a w r d uh withpean; eand awakened nkd intdhle etouchi ngkindled i effect. wnbdiytihg intnba e thi oernl,t ragingaw thatnads the powers of Madame Pasta's performance were concen trated.

The contrast presented by her chivalric bearing as the young hero of Syracuse, to the gentleness and graceful simplicity of the artless Venetian lady, was very striking, and enhanced the appreciation of her genius. On the lyric stage she thus exercised a double sway ; for r such was her force of genius that she was able to excel k the new school of Rossini, and in the grand style of the ancient school. She shone in operas of the Swan of Pesaro and she could equally give effect to th e su bli me airs composed by Zingarelli for Marchesi, Crescentini, Grassini, and other models of what was then called 'the fine school of singing.'

Two SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.—Henry Benning and William Henry Pence, two privates of the Grenadier Guards, were charged before Mr. Yardley with violently assaulting 'William Henry Turner, a post-office letter-carrier, and stealing his silver watch. Inspector Swanson, of the A division, attended to watch the case. William Henry Turner, the prosecutor, said that havinc , d e livered some letters at the Ranger's Lo d ge last night about ' half-past eight he then went to the canteen of the Magazine Barracks in Hyde-park, and having delivered his letters, some of the soldiers asked him to have some beer and a pipe. He did so, and some time after, being a little fresh, he left, when the prisoners asked hint to show them the way to St. George's Barracks, and they all left together. While going along, Pence, who pretended to be drunk, grasped his throat and struck him in the face, while Benning seized his watch. He fell to the ground, and on getting up the prisoners were gone, and he missed his watch and some money and his uniform cap. This morning he went to the Wellington Barracks and identified the prisoners from amongst several others. Police-constable, 222 A, said the prosecutor told him a similar story last night. He took the prosecutor to the Wellington Barracks this morning, the prosecutor having told him that the men who robbed him were Grenadiers, and the prosecutor there, on their being placed with others, pointed to Pence and said he was one, but that he could not see the other. However ; on afterwards seeing Benning with four or five others, the prosecutor identified him. The prisoners, who had no questions to ask, were re manded for a week. THAMES. A MASTER MARINER IN SEARCH OF HIS MOTHER.-- John Leslie, captain of a collier, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with assaulting Mrs. Elizabeth Farrier, the wife of a tradesman, dwelling at No. 131, High-street, Wapping. A police-constable named Palmer, No. 258 K, said he was on duty in High-street, Wapping, last night, and heard the screams of a woman. lie went to the spot and saw two woman struggling with the prisoner. One was inside, the other outside of a dwelling-house, which the prisoner wanted to enter and was exceedingly violent. The woman said the prisoner had no business there, on which he struck one of them on the face. He then took the pri soner into custody. Mrs. Farrier said that last night she was alarmed by a loud knocking at her door, which was succeeded by kicks, and a cry of "Let me in; I want my mother." Upon opening the door the prisoner exhibited himself, and said he wanted his mother. She told him his mother did not live there, and he said he would enter the house. She re monstrated with him, and he became exceedingly violent, made use of bad langnage, and struck her on the face. Mr. Partridge—Does his mother live in your house ? Mrs. Farrier—No, sir ; I don't know his mother. The prisoner, in defence, said he was in search of his his mother, and that was all he know about it. Mr. Partridge—You should prosecute the search for your mother in seasonable hours, and when you are sober. The prisoner, a burley North countryman said, well, your honour, I was three sheets in the wind, and that's all about it. Mr. Partridge—When were you paid off ? The prisoner—Eh, mon. lam not paid off at all. lam master of my own ship, the brig Sarah. She lies at the buoy. lam going back to the north. Mr. Partridge said it was a great pity the mother, of whom the prisoner was in search, was not in attendance upon him last night. He fined the prisoner 405., which he paid. WESTMINSTER. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WITH LAUDANUM. —Elizabeth Bowell, living in Gardner's-lane, Westminster, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum. Police Constable B 967, said that about six o'clock last night he was in the Horseferry-road when he was told that the prisoner was at the Telegraph in Regent-street, and that she had taken poison. He went there and found her in front of the bar. When he saw her she remarked, " I was very sorry that I let any one see me take lit." Witness got a cab, into which she was placed, and was taken to the IVestminster Hospital, (The witness pro duced a phial which had a printed label on it with the words "Laudanum--poison.") She was attended at the hospital by several surgeons. She was there three hours be fore she was sufficiently recovered to be taken to the station house. Mr. Selfe—Dil she give any account of herself ? Witness—She said that she had been living with a man, and she added that the first opportunity she had she would put an end to herself. • Mr. Selfe —ls the cabman in court ? Witness—He is, sir. The cabman was called and said that he had been living with the prisoner about seven years. He could not tell what could have led her to make the attempt on her life. Mr. Selfe said that he would remand her for a week, when he would see what he would do with her. She was then remanded. MARKETS—This Day, MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. Selected parcels moved off steadily, at fully Monday's currency. Otherwise the trade was quiet, on former terms. With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied. Most descriptions were in fair average request, and the quo tations ruled tolerably firm. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full cur rencies. The supply of barley on offer was tolerably large. Good and fine malting qualities were in fair demand, at extreme rates. Other kinds, however, sold heavily, at Monday's quotations. The malt trade was rather quiet, but fine old parcels were firm in price. There was a good supply of oats on the stands. Good and fine corn sold steadily, at full quotations; but inferior produce was dull, at late rates. Beans and peas met a blow sale, at previous quotations. In flour a fair business was transacted, and prices were supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

BANKRUPTS The portion of the Gazette containing the bankrupts hacl not arrived when wo went to press. Veterans of the Camp, the Church, the Study, and the Senate, 'ELLINGTON is a remarkable illustration of how toll, responsibility, and the liabilities of fame, may be borne when the moral nature and training are a help instead of a drawback. His strength of will, his po.ver of self-reliance, his simplicity of mind, his unconsciousness of doubt or scruple, and his very narrowness of political view, in com bination with his military comprehensiveness of knowledge, enabled him to do and live through what would have killed half-a-dozen men of more sensitive fibre, and a more ego tistical sort of humility. In him, as in LORD CLYDE (who might have lived to the age of Wellington), LORD Coat-. BERMERE, who is still alive and vigorous at ninety, the French MARSHAL D'ORNANO, who has just died at the age of ninety-two ; Loup SEATON, who has departed this year at the age of eighty-seven; and Scot HOWARD DOUGLAS, who was a great professional authority and public benefactor till he died two years ago, at eighty-five, we see that the toils of military life, and the gravest re sponsibilities, do not shorten the existence of men consti tutionally adapted to that career. The LATE ARCHBISHOP or CANTERBURY was past eighty, the present BrsH.or or EXETER iS eighty-six, and ARCHBISHOP WHATELY has just departed at seventy-six. Sir DAVID BREWSTER is still active and occupied at eighty-two. The late MR. TOOKE did not puzzle his brain about the Currency too much to be still up to the subject at eighty-six, SIR R. MUR, CHISON is past seventy, and so is Sin J. HERSCHEL METTERNicir was thrust aside because his work was a failure, and not because he was himself incapable of action. NESSELRODE was Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chan cellor of the Empire to successive Czars till he died last year at ninety-two, clear-headed and full of interest for Russia as he had ever been. LORD LYNDIIVRST had some infirmities at ninety •orie ; but nobody to the last associated any idea of decrepitude with him,--m uch less of senile wea kness. Laity LYNDHURST was eight years younger at his death ; and we saw in him more of the familiar attri butes of failing executive powers : but he, too, had a clear anda d at a t lamu mind,age and vh ou a the bri g traditionalh tin t est i n octogenariant he life around h should him, have been lingering in second c hildh ood.

S O ME OF BLAKE'S RAVINGS !—A scrap quoted in Gilohrist's Life of that Painter— Great wits to madness nearly are allied, And thin partitions do their realms divide." I was i n a printing-house in hell, and saw the method in which knowledge is transmitted from generation to genera tion. In the first chamber was a dragon man, clearing away the rubbi,h from a ewe's mouth; within, a number of dragons were hollowing the cave. In the second chamber was a viper folding round the rock and tine cave, and others adorning it with gold, silver, and precious stones. In the third chamber was an eagle with wings and feathers of air; he caused the inside of the cave to be infinite. Around, were numbers of eagle-like men, who built pilaus in the immense chffs. In the fourth chamber were lions ofiflainrag ing fire ragi ng aroun d an d me l t i ng th e me t a l s i n to iv fluids.
