lIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. Au advance of 1 per cent. has just been an nounced in the minimum rate of discount, which now stands at 7 per cent. The directors, it was fully i magined, would make a change, and the effect of its adoption seems to have been favourable rather than otherwise. It has relieved much of the anli etY which previously existed, and discounters are now enabled to proceed with their transactions With greater confidence than they could while so much doubt existed. There was a slight downward movement in some of the , foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. ~The Stock E xchange Committee have•appointed Monday next, the 7th of December, a special settling day in the shares of the Torquay Hotel Company, the Imp er i a l H o t e l C o mpany, the Atlan- elograph Cumpany (guaranteed 8 per cent. £5 shares), and the Mercantile Credit Association, the last named to be officially quoted. Two O'CLOCK. At the Pails Bourse this morning, according to Iteuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rents were 66f. 95° ' Plat. The English Stock Market opened very heavily, hut the decline has only represented 1-16th per the change in the Bank rates. Speculation is not 4 3 7 activs,but there is a disposition to proceed for a fall rather than advance in prices. Consols are 1;17 ' 90 i 1, less the dividend, for money and the account tomorrow, and 91k for January. The Ne w Threes and the Reduced Annuities are Irked 904 ; Bank Stock, 236 to 267; India Per Cents. 1061 1, and Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 59 . dis. T he new rates of interest on deposit accounts have be en arranged by some of the discount houses as ' ll° lvs—viz., 5 per cent. for money at call ; 51 per ce nt. with seven days ' not i ce of withdrawal; and higher rates for longer periods. In the Discount Market, since the alteration was announced in the rate, business has been tole ruhlY active. Early in the day Greek Bonds decline 4 per cent., V 1 4.1 to 25, on a statement that the Government did not contemplate any arrangement with the bond holders. The market has since rallied from 25 the lowost price reached to 271 but the latest values show a renewed relapse to 264 ; the Coupons have declined to 131 ; Mexican, 3514 ; Spanish Passive, 331 2 ; Ditto Certificates, 13 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 631 70/ ; Ditto Coneolides, 45 i t, and the Confederate Loan 54 56. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been very restricted, and quotations in most in stances show a downward movement. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares barely sustain former rates.

The service has been performed during the last six months with the usual regularity, and, notwithstanding the great risks attaching to navigation on the West African Coast, the ships have been entirely free from casualties. This aireumstance, combined with the generally more pro fitable result of the half• year's operations, has enabled your directors, after making every financial provision consistent •with the prudent management of the company, to exhibit a larger balance than usual for division among the proprie tors, and they recommend that a dividend of 8s per share, free of income-tax, for the half-year ending 31st October last, be declared. This payment will absorb £4,403 4s, and leave £421 lla 4d to La carried forward to next half-year's account.

(Before Mr. Baron Channell.) CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Fanny Woolfe, 23, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate female child. She pleaded not guilty. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was, in November last, in the service of a family residing at Hamp stead, as cook ; no suspicion had been created as to the state of the prisoner, but during the night she complained of being in great pain to a fellow servant sleeping in the same room. From what afterwards transpired it was certain she had been confined during the night, and in the morning she was questioned as to whether the child had been born alive. On searching a drawer in the prisoner's room, the dead body of a child was found, and from its appearance, Mr. Lord, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, was called in, who was of opinion the child had been born alive, and had been submerged in water, causing its death. In answer to questions put by the judge, Mr. Lord ad mitted that suffocation might have arisen accidentally from a female herself attempting to perform the duties of a medi cal man. Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner, and The learned Judge having summed up the evidence, The jury after a few minutes' deliberation returned a ver dict of not guilty. TIM SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1863, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GROSS PERP.TRY.—Robert Trump, of 174, Southgate road, Ball's-pond, Islington, appeared before Mr. Knox, to show cause why he should not be adjudged the father of a child to which a young woman named Louisa Birt, of 44, Langham-street, Marylebone, had given birth. The young woman deposed that she lived with the de fendant for three months, and he then left her, and she took a situation. After being there some time the defen dant took her away, and after being with him a short time she left, and subsequently gave birth to a child, the defen dant being the father. A witness deposed to hearing the defendant, shortly after the birth of the child, say he would have an agreement made to allow the complainant 2s. 6d. a week if she did not compel him to appear at the police-court. The defendant said he wished to be sworn. Mr. Knox cautioned him to be careful before he was examined. The defendant persisted, and swore that although he had lived with the young woman he was not the father of her child ; that he had not seen her for 15 months prior to the birth of the child, and that he never said a word about any agreement. The young woman said that on one occasion she passed two days at the defendant's lodgings, and the defendant said that although she did so he did not see her. _ _ Mr. Knox said he believed the young woman and her witness, but he did not believe a word the defendant bad said. The defendant had wilfully perjured himself. The defendant's conduct had been very bad to' the young woman, and to mark his senee of it he should order the defendant to pay ss. a week for the first six weeks, and 2s. 6d. afterwards, and ss. costs. .--- WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF MUDERING A6HILD —A middle-aged woman, having the appearanc e of a domestic servant or charwoman, who gave the name of Elizabeth Thompson, was this morning placed at the bar under the following circumstances : Mrs. Ellen Jones, of 24, Keppel-street, Chelsea, said—l have known the prisoner twelve months. She has lodged with me. lam the landlady of the house. I thought the prisoner was in the family way. I thought so several times of late, and spoke to her about it, but she denied it. I spoke to her on Saturday week, I asked if she was not in the family way. She said she was not, but she was. Mr. Arnold —What induced you to think so ? Witness—Her size ; and then I felt confident she must have been so afterwards. Mr. Arnold—From what reason ? Witness— Because shegre;:uch less in size. Other people observed it besides me. The neighbours asked me what had become of the child, and said I must know, al though 1 told them I really had no more opportunity of knowing than themselves. My next-door neighbour, Mrs. Cox, came in yesterday and had a conversation with me, and 1 also saw a friend of the prisoner's, and in consequence of what I heard from them, I asked the prisoner yesterday afternoon about the child. I said, " Whatihas become of your baby ?" She at first again denied it, she said she had not had one. I said, " You must have had one," then she admitted that she had. Mr. Arnold—Did she say what had become of it ? Witness —She said she put it in a parcel and gave it to a boy to dispose of, and he took it away. I inquired what boy, and said she did not know. Mr. Arnold —Was anything further said about her con finement ? Witness-_I said if she had told me how she was situated I should have been very willing at such a time to have afforded her all the help in my power, and her answer to that was, she did not like to let me know. Sergeant Smith, B division—lt is necessary that I should at this stage of the proceedings acquaint your worship with an important matter connected with the case. On the 24th of last month the body of a child was found, wrapped in a cloak, near Kensington-gardens. In formation was given to the police of the circumstances on the 25th, and an inquest was held on the body of the child on the 28th, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned. Mr. Arnold—Wilful murder ? Sergeant Smith—Yes, your worship. Mr. Arnold—How do you connect the prisoner with the child so found ? Sergeant Smith—When found it was wrapped in this piece of stuff (exhibiting some coloured rag), and the cor responding piece has been found in prisoner's box. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of this wrapper, Mrs. Jones ? Mrs. Jones--One piece was in my room. Sergeant Smith—The prisoner has been so recently apprehended that I have not had time to collect the neces. sary evidence, and must therefore ask your wor ship to grant me a remand. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner for a week to give the required time, , •-• THAMES. Dolly Tess, David Barry, John Moss, Edward Brady, and William Moyston, seamen, were brought before Mr. Partridge charged with unlawfully and illegally knocking at doors and ringing the bells of the houses in Christian street, St. George's-in-the-East. Police-constable Shepherd, 43 H, stated that all the pri soners, and another man, were in Christian-street this morning, at 1 o'clock, shouting, bawling, and • singing, and knocking at the doors, and ringing the bells of eNery house they passed. Mr. Partridge—How many houses ? Shepherd—About 40. The inhabitants threw up their windows, and asked the cause of the disturbance, and they were answered with shouts of derisive laughter. After leaving Christian-street, they turned into Brunswick-street, and two of them run into the arms of a policeman at the bottom of the street. I caught the other man. The fifth man ran away. The prisoners, in their defence, laid all the blame on the man who escaped, and who they declared was in search of his sweetheart, and knocked at several doors they came to in making inquiries after her. Mr. Partridge—You were seen to knock at the doors and ring the bells. The prisoners "una voce)—We are all very sorry. Mr. Partridge—You must not do this again. It is too bad to disturb quiet people in the middle of the night. You are fined 10s. each. FORGERY. Edward Burt was indicted for forging and uttering a cheque on the Bank of England for the sum of £2O, with intent to defraud the governor and company of the Bank of England. _ _ Theprisoner, it appeared, was casually employed by Mr. Percival, a horse dealer, in the neighbourhood of Eaton square, who kept an account at the Bank of England, and his cheque book in his desk in the office adjoining the yard. The prisoner, as also other persons employed about the 3 ard, had access to the premises; and in the early part of Oct. the prosecutor was absent for several days at a fair, and on his return found that some person had torn a cheque out of his book, which it was afterwards ascer tained had been filled up for a sum of £2O and purporting to be signed by the prosecutor, and presented, it was be lieved, by the prisoner, who received three £5 notes, one of which was numbered 57,281. The prisoner, who was in rather poorcireumstances, was suddenly found very flush of money. He made a statement to the foreman of Mr. Sewell, a ye terinary surgeon, that ho had been to the bank to get a cheque cashed, and he was also traced to have given a £5 note, No. 57,281, to his landlady in payment of a debt. On her sending the note to be changed, it was returned to her to put her name upon it, and at her request the prisoner wrote her name on the note in question, which was produced and identified. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of uttering the cheque, kn,wing it to be forged. . The learned Judge sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. Bridget Ford was indicted for cutting and wounding a woman namei Ford. The evidence showed that there had been a quarrel be tween a number of women in the neighbout hood of the Thames Police-court, and that the prisoner, it was said, wilfully cut the prosecutor violently on the head with a glass bottle. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. Henry Kelly, George Davis, and Edward Sweeny were indicted for a robbery with violence on Jeremiah Pendi gast, and stealing from him a snuff-box and a pocket book. The jury found all those prisoners guilty. A number of police-constables proved four convictions against each of them. The learned Judge sentenced Davis to 10 years, Sweeny to 7 years, and Kelly to 8 years' penal servitude. EI:RGLARY. Joseph Jennings was found guilty of a burglary in the dwelling house of Mary Price, and stealing there from three pieces of merino, three pictures, and other articles. The Court sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) SENDING DISEASED MEAT TO MARKET. Alexander Stuart, pig jobber, Cupar Angus, Perthshire, was indicted for sending to London two fore quarters of beef in a state unfit for human food. From the evidence it appeared that a farmer near the residence of the prisoner had two cows suffering from pneu monia to a very severe extent. The cows were sold to the prisoner fox £3, and .he forthwith slaughtered them, and sent them up to Mr. Lee, of Newgate Market, for disposal. When the stuff arrived, Mr. Lee at once called the atten tion of the authorities to the subject, and the present pro ceeding was the result. From questions put to one of the witnesses, it appeared that the most serious consequences would result from such stuff being sold to the poJr as food. The jury found him guilty, and the judge sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment and a fine of £6O, and to be detained in prison till the fine is paid. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. A small supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled firm, and Monday's advance in the quotations was well supported. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was by no means extensive ; nevertheless, prices ruled very firm. Floating cargoes of wheat and other grain supported Monday's improvement in their value. The supply of barley was somewhat extensive. Good and fine malting parcels were firm in price ; otherwise, the barley trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. In malt a very moderate business was transacted, at late rates. The demand for oats was by no means active. Prices, however, were well supported. The show of samples was moderately good. Beans and peas i uled firm, at quite Monday's currency. Most kinds of flour changed hands to a fair average ex tent, at fully Monday's prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Front. English„„,.

THE HEALTH OF THE DUKE OF ATHoLL.—We (Edznburgh Courant) regret to state that the latest ac- counts from Blair Athol represent the strength of his Grace the Duke of Atholl as declining very fast, and that his posi tion is considered very critical. ST. 'imamAs's HOSFlTAL.—Yesterday a meeting of the governors of this Hospital was held at the London bridge Hotel. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, Sir John Musgrove, the president, stated that in 1852 he had taken the chair at a meeting for the establishment of what was properly called a Samaritan Fund, the object of which was to assist poor pa. tients on leaving the hospital with temporary means until they entirely recovered their health, or were able to resume their usual occupations. A sum of nearly £2,000 was then raised and invested, but the funds afterwards were greatly diminished, and at that juncture Mr. Tito had come forward and presented the treasurer with the sum of £5OO, paid to him by the South-Eastern Railway Company under the award of the umpire, as compensation for his services in the sale of the hospital to them. This munificent donation was referred to in the minutes just confirmed, and he there fore moved a special vote of thanks to Mr. Tito for his liberality. The motion was seconded by the treasurer, and carried unanimously. Mr. Tite said the destruction of the hospital on its late site had become inevitable, owing to the imperative demands for railway accommodation, and that among the many charges to which he had been exposed for the part he had taken none were more rife or more unjust than the imputations of mercenary motives. These he hoped he had disproved by the gift to the Samaritan Fund to which the president had alluded. lie also took the op portunity of stating that on taxation all the law costs and expenses of counsel, surveyors, &c., had been defrayed by the railway company, except a few items not automating altogether to more than £:430, which was all the expense that had fallen on the funds of the hospital in this long litigation and arbitration. The sol , citor repotted that the common seals of the corporation and of the Metropolitan Board of Works had been affixed to the agreement fur the purchase and sale of the land at Stangate as the future site of the hospital, and after the election of a junior assistant surgeon the court adjourned. A RAILWAY ENGINE-DRIVERDRUNK.—At enAgNiuDe.aFrilvßeMaAuNd on Williams, F I NED FOR BEING DRUNK.—At th e Ci ty Court, at Oxford, n b a a m t e a d in T t u h t e tley, an employ of the G rea t Wes tern Railway Company , were each fi ned 103 and 53 for 'Tuesday, a fireman, drunk and incapab le of dut y . Tutt ley denied that he a man was intoxicated, and attributed his incapacity to exposure to the night air, and being drenched with water at the Ox ford station, through the mismanagement of the man who supplied the engine with water. Williams attributed his incapacity to being overworked and having to work 14 hours a day; he stated that last week ho was worked to such an extent that he had only 17 hours' rest the whole week.

HENRY NELSON. —A. melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Saturday evening last to the Hon. Henry Nelson, youngest brother of the Right Hon. Earl Nelson, of Trafalgar House, Down ton, Wilts. Mr. Nelson had been taking equestrian exer cise, and was in the act of returning to his r es id ence, L an d. ford House, in the parish of Plaitford, mounted on a very young horse ; and at the Earldoms turnpike gate, Landford, the wife of the gatekeeper endeavoured to hold the horse whilst Mr. Nelson tightened the girths, but the animal broke away from her and started off in the direction of Plaitford. Mr. Nelson retained his seat for about half a mile, but was eventually thrown off and, it is believed, dragged for some consieerable distance, John Emm, butler to the Dowager Countess Nelson, who was waiting with the carriage at the residence of Captain Nelson, was at tracted by the galloping of the horse, and on his going into the road, ho discovered the unfortunate gentleman lying in a state of insensibility. Assistance was procured, and he was conveyed to Landford House, where he became con scious for a few minutes only. The unfortunate gentleman rapidly sunk, and died about a quarter past eight o'clock. An inquest was held on the body at the National School on Monday evening, before Mr. B. M. Wilson, county coroner, when it wa s shown that death had resulted from concussion of the brain, and a verdict of accidental death was accord ingly returned. A large circle of friends have been placed in mourning by this sudden bereavement, Lord Campbell on Mr. Cobden's View of the Polish Question. At a public meeting to express the fympathy of the working classes in favour of Poland held last even;ng, at the Chelsea V3stry-hall, under the auspices of the National League for the Independence of Poland—Mr. Farrell in the chair, Lord CAMPBELL said—To me it is, I assure you, a great privilege to be called upon by the comirittee to address you upon the Polish question at a meeting so crowded, so intelligent, and so unanimous as that assembled here to night. It is true that this meeting has been called together not by the National Polish League, of which my friend Mr. Edward Beales is the president, but exclusively by the working classes themselves. (Hear, hear.) That circum stance is far from demonstrating, as some people would suppose, the insignificanc e of the question before us, and w ith your permission I will tell you for what reason. It shows that the Polish question has now seized upon the mind of that class which is most numerous, and to which its numbers must always give power and importance. (Hear, hear.) In social or domestic questions it may often happen that the first movement may originate with the working classes, in consequence of the evils which they may more acutely feel, and may rise through the middle classes, until, last of all, after years of agitation and struggle, they ate found triumphant in that class which influences Parliament and politics. But in foreign ques • tient; it is not so; it most naturally happens that these questions arise first in that class to whom study and Crave are open, and then descends through the various strata of society. Therefore, when solicitude as to a foreign ques tion is found imbuing the working classes of the nation, we must believe that it has succeeded in establishing its sovereignty aver the minds of the higher and of the middle classes of society. (Loud cheers.) So far, therefore, from the fact of this meeting being convened by the working classes of the country being a proof of the insignificance of the Polish question, it is a proof rather that the opinion of the country has been fully formed upon the matter, and that the time for action has arrived. (Cheers.) To me it gives still more gratification to find a demonstration of this magnitude by the working classes of the country, because I think it the best and the most effective answer to the speech of Mr. Cobden that we have lately heard, so far as it relates to the Polish question, (Loud cheers.) In an eloquent speech, recently addressed to the inhabitants of Rochdale, Mr. Cobden, with the view to show that, although the wrongs of that unhappy c .untry are indis putable, yet that it is not the proper part of Europe to set them right, contends that, if left alone, the injustice of Russia will meet with its own punishment, and, to use his own words, " that the vices, and weaknesses, and the vir tues, and the power of nations were inseparable "—in other words, that vices always have their own castigation, and that virtues have their own reward, and that, therefore, it was not incumbent upon bystanders to interfere to prevent the one or to encourage the other. If that remark had fallen from an insignificant person it would scarcely be worth while to refute it; but coming as it does from the great apostle of free trade, from a man who has obtained and deserves the admiration of the country, who, beginning lowly, has raised himself to the highest station ; and from a person who is no less esteemed in private life than ap plauded in political and public life, it is certainly a remark that deserves something more than a passing comment. No doubt we may be able so far to assent to the views of Mr. Cobden as to admit that crimes upon a large as upon a minor scale will always have their own retribution—that if suffi cient time elapse, if ages are permitted to exhaust them selves—the day will come when the miagortunes of St. Petersburg will balance the calamities of Warsaw, (Loud and prolonged cheering.) But is this to be an argument for European silence, for popular indifference, or for the inaction of the world ? (Cheers.) Are we not to think upon the calamities—the horrors which must fall upon individuals between the perpetration of the wrong and the arrival of the retribution that is to surely follow it ? (Cheers.) Are we not to think of the men destroyed, of the houses outraged, of the women wronged, of the vil lages obliterated, of the soil polluted, of the melancholy capital of Poland transformed into a dungeon from which the unhappy inmates look to us in Europe as living in some fabled region in which air, sunshine, freedom, and tran quillity prevail, and in which men are to be pitied only because they dont understand the horrors they have escaped and the privileges they enjoy ? (Loud and prolonged cheer ing.) If the doctrine advanced by this amiable and high minded person were adopted by the Cabinets of Europe—if countries would not permit themselves to interfere when in justice was being committed on such grounds as those ad vanced by Mr. Cobden, none of the weaker Powers, such as Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, or Denmark—(lond and prolonged cheers)--could maintain their existence for a single day against the Powers who are ready and anxious to absorb them. (Loud cheers.) If it were once to be admitted that injustice was to be allowed to work its way, and that no interference should be permitted, and that it was to be left to the penalty which future ages might bring, there would be no end to the wrongs which the strong would perpetrate on the weak. (Cheers.) But should we even go so far with Mr. Cobden for a moment as to say that the injustices and barbarity of Russi as such, were no t t o bring down upon its head the indignation and chastisement of Europe, we should still have the further question as to whether it is not the interest of Western Europe that the flow of Russian tyranny should be made to pause, and that Poland should be assisted in establishing her independence. (Hear, hear.) The principal Western Powers are France and England; and let us look at what is their interest in the matter. At the present time France relies upon the alliance of this country, but circumstances may arise when the friendly relations between these countries may be altered. That alliance must not be counted upon by France as a thing that will be always in existence. France and Russia both aim at supremacy in the Mediter ranean Sea, therefore there can be no true and lasting alli ance between those Powers, Supposing a collision to arise —as it may do at any time, and has occurred within the last 10 years—France, who may not then possess that firm friendship in which this country now held her, must rely for assistance upon the German Powers, (Hear, hear). Now, so long as Russia holds Poland, and so influences Prussia and Austria, how can France hope to attract to wards herself the alliance of those countries ? (Loud cheers. Therefore, so far as France is concerned, it is essential for her to preserve the liberty of Poland. (Cheers). Now let us look at our own position in the matter. The objects of Great Britain and Russia are altogether incorn patible. (Cheers.) Great Britain desires to maintain the independence of Constantinople, and to uphold the Turkish empire as it now exists, while Russia is desirous of ex tending her dominions at the expense of that Power. Th e objects of Great Britain and Russia upon this point are therefore diametrically opposed. (Cheers.) Now, Great Britain without France must also look to Germany, but must look in vain so long as Russia is able to trample upon Bel lin and Vienna. (Loud cheers.) Therefore, even if vice ought to be left to its own punishment, and even if we could consent without remonstrance to see a people cruelly tortured and crushed out of existence, still policy would command the Western Powers to maintain the activity which they have as yet devoted to the Polish question. (Loud cheers.) They have already embarked upon their course, and what can now restrain them from pursuing it? (Hear, hear.) It is not the fear of Russia which will restrain them, because, within the memory of the youngest person present, Russia has shown her inability to resist the Western Powers; it is not a regard of treaties which can restrain them, because it has been explained that all those treaties by which Russia claims right over Poland have been trampled down and violated, and, in Earl Russell's words, Russia has forfeited all right to supremacy in Poland. To what, therefore, can the inaction be traced ? To nothing except to the want of the expression of popular opinion and enthusiasm--a want which you have assembled here to-night to meet. (Loud cheers.) If that expression of opinion and enthusiasm is withheld, nothing will be done, and there will be no want of plausible arguments for standing still. (Hear, hear.) But if the voice of the country makes itself heard, if statesmen are convinced that they will be supported by the opinion of the people, if they act according to their convictions, then there need be no fear for the result, and Poland will bo free. (Loud cheering.) That voice you are now raising, and that sup-. port you are now offering, and the effect of what you are now doing will be felt hereafter throughout distant ages, as well as at the present moment. (Loud cheers.) I call upon the meeting, therefore, to pledge itself to support the Government of the day in any endeavour it may make for securing Polish independence. The speaker sat down amid prolonged cheering. A NOVEL PRESENT FOR.

[The following appeared in the Third Edition of " The Sun" of last evening] : ALDERSHOT, Tuesday. The Court met this morning at half-past 10 o'clock, the same members being present as yesterday. On the opening of the court, Colonel Sir A. Horsford said he should suggest for the consideration of the prisoner whether he would not proceed with the cross-excmination of the sergeant and sentries at once, as they were called by the prosecution without any other view than their being examined by the court and the prisoner. Colonel Crawley should be glad to adopt the sugges• tion of the prosecutor, and examine the sentries, but in respect to any other witnesses he should ask for the same indulgence he had hitherto received, and postpone their cross-examination till the day after their examination in chief. He a;so begged leave to state that in reply to the application he had made in respect to the production of the letter from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to Colonel Shute, referred to in yesterday's evidence, he had been informed that it would be sent to the prosecutor. He inquired if that had been done, and whether he would pro. duce it ? Colonel Sir A, Horsford said that he had read the letter in question this morning, but it was still under the consi deration of the Court whether it would be necessary to produce it; Sergeant Alexander Adams, of the 6th Dragoons, was then sworn and examined by Colonel Sir A. Horaford—Were you ever on duty when the late Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest 2-1 was once. Did you visit the sentries in the first bungalow 1)—I did. Where were they posted ?—ln No, 2 room in the centre of the room. What orders did they give up ?—To take charge of the prisoner ; allow no communication with any one but his native servant and medical officer. The native servantwas to be searched both going in and out. Do you remember, on what day you were on this duty ? I believe it was the 9th of May. • What character did Sergeant Major Lilley bear for so o'clock b r ie ty Cross .and ex s a o n a l d i e r d - i b k y e conduct Crawley — PA ver y_g Ao to dw o. na et was it that you visited the sentries on the 9th of May p About ten o'clock at night. Did you see Mrs. Litley on that occasion ?--No. Describe what the proper position of the sen try was on the model P—ln the centre - of that room (pointing out the position on the model). He walked from the door of the servant's room in No. 2, to the door of No. 4 room. Colonel Pipon—Let me hear exactly, describing by the model, the proper walk mid post of the sentry P—Between the door of the office and the door of the large outer room. Did you ever see the sentry nearer the door of the bed room than the centre of the office-room ?—Never. Did you visit the sentry next day?—Yes. Where was Sergeant Major Lilley and where was the sentry ?-110 was at the outer door of the servants' room with the sentry behind him. He was at the door looking towards the barracks. Was the office room employed by Sergeant Major Lilley as an office, and did the orderly sergeant go there with these states at an early hoar of the morning P—Y es, and the orderly sergeants used to call there at all hours, at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. You are now speaking of the room where the sentries were posted P—Yes. Sergeant Eleaer Eland, of the 6th Dragoons, sworn. Examined by Colonel Sir A. Horsford—l was on duty while Sergeant Major Lilley was under arrest. I mounted guard on the 27th of April, 1862, and on the 21st of May, 1862. I recollect the orders I took over about the sen•- tries. On the 27th of April the sentry was to take charge of the prisoner, to allow n• communication to take place between anyone outside and the prisoner, and the native servant was to be searched on going in and com ing out. By Colonel Pipon—These were the orders when I mounted guard. On the 28th of April I received fresh orders. On the morning of the 28th Sergeant Major Cotton brought a fresh order to the guard room. I cannot state the order, it was written ; it was to the effect that the sentry was to be placed in Sergeant Major Lilley's bunga low in his quarters. 1 accordingly placed the sentry inside the bungalow myself. What were the orders on the 21st of May ?—Between the 28th of April and the 21st of May the sergeant major had been shifted into different quarters. The orders were simi lar to those given in regard to the former bungalow, only that Sergeant Major Lilley had permission to sleep in the verandah. _ _ Witness continued—On the 28th of April he posted the sentry in the little room, No. 4. In the second bungalow the sentry was posted in the verandah, and the sergeant major slept under the window of the small room, No. 2. lie always considered Sergeant Major Lilley a steady, sober, upright man. By Colonel Crawley—The order ho received on the 28th of April was from Sergeant Major Cotton in writing. Neither Lieutenant Fitzsimons nor Sergeant Major Cotton went with him when the change of sentries was made on the 28th of April. The orders did not state where it was that the sentry was to be placed; so he placed him in No, 4 room. It was left to his discretion. On the 2d of May, about noon, he again visited the sentry. Sergeant Major Lilley was sitting in an easy chair just outside the door of his room, No. 1 room. He never received any complaints from Sergeant Major or Mrs. Lilley. Colonel Crawley handed in a written protest against the nature of the evidence in chief of the last witness. Corporal Wm. Parr, of the 6th Dragoons, examined by Sir A, Horsford—said he had been eight years and eleven months in the regiment. He considered that Sergeant Major Lilley bore a very good character. He (witness) was on duty during the time of Sergeant Major Lilley's arrest. He was on duty about 20 minutes, before 12 on the night of the Ist of May. He was the guard of the night. He posted the sentry in No. 4 room, in the centre of the small room. He posted the sentry inside because he was informed that there was a corporal under arrest for not having placed the sentry inside. It was Corporal Blake. By Colonel Crawley—He relieved Corporal Blake when he was arrested on the night of the .Ist of May. The sen tries had orders no tto lose sight of the prisoner except when he went into Mrs. Lilley's bedroom. According to the orders he received he thought No, 4 was the proper room for the sentries. Ile did not see the sentry when he placed the sentry over him at night. The door was shut and the sentry wished to be certified that the sergeant major was there. Witness then called to the sergeant major who answered him, and he told the sentry that he was there. It was the room on the right of No. 2 (pointing to the mo del) that the voice came from. No complaints were ever made to him by Sergeant Major or Mrs. Lilley. Corporal James Barry, of the 6th Dragoons, said he had been nine years and four months in the regiment. Sergeant Major Lilley's character was that of a sober, steady man, He was on duty twice during the arrest, on both occasions in the bungalow in which he died. Te the best of his re collection, it was on the 17th or 18th of May, and again on the 22d. The sentry was not to allow any communication . with the prisoner except by the native servant and ton non* dieal officer, the former of whom was to be searched re e to tering and leaving. If documents we re found they be handed to tee adjutant. The sentry was sight of the prisoner. Mrs. Lilley's bed By Colonel Crawley—He could not see d.

By Colonel Crawley—When he first visited the sentries on the 10th of May Mr. and Mrs. Lilley were sitting in the front verandah. The sentries had no business to go nearer to her bed room than the centre of the office room. Corporal John Condy said he had been in the 6th Dra goons five years and live mouths. He knew Sergeant Msjor Lilley to have been a sober, steady man. (The witness agreed w ith th e others in reference to t h e or d er s thesen e tries received). Th ere was a c hick over the dour senthry sergeant major's bedroom, which preventede the of t from seeing in. A person might see over the un til the went close to it.

He called out, and some one said " Conte in." ll° then lifted up the chick, and saw the sentry supporting the sergeant major on his arm in bed. That was how he came to seo Mrs. Lilley in her night dress. At that time the sergeant major was dying.
