XONEY - MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is now gradually assuming an easier appearance. The improved position of the Banks of England and France, as shown in the returns, has led to the general expectation that farther concessons will continue to be offered, and that bofore long the authorities, in their own inte rests, will be compelled to lower their official minimum. Under these circumstances, it is only natural that the public should refrain from obtain ing more monetary assistance than they imme diately r( quire. ; and that discounters, on the other Land, should exhibit anxiety to secure business at the present quotations. The charge for best three months' securities has therefore fallen to 81 per cent., and for lesser periods 81 per cent. There were no bullion oForations of importance at the Bank yesterday. As was expected, the position of the Bank of England has continued to make further progress during the past week. The reserves of the estab• lishment have been improved by the addition of £450,160, notwithstanding the recent payment of the dividends. Annexed are the particulars:— Active Circulation .. £20,958,905 Decrease 274,030 Bullion .. 13,146,009 Increase 143,521 Rest .. • .. 3,273,896 Increase • • • • • • • . 24,411 Public Deposits 3 ,7 23 ,619 Increase .. 449,960 Other Deposits.. 13,897,777 Decrease .. 200,677 Seven Day and other Bills .. 666,840 Decrease 29,145 Government Securities .. 9,410,461 Decrease .. 159,751 Other Securities 19;767,497 Decrease .. 13,251 Notes Unemployed .. 6,097,250 Increase .. .. 450,160 The Bank of France returns also shows some very favourable alterations. An addition of £750,000 has been made to the bullion, the Trea. sury balances have been increased by £280,000, and the Current Accounts by £40,000. The discount business exhibits a falling off of £1,180,000, the Advances have been diminished by £54,000, and the Notes in Circulation by £820,000. ....m.m.m.m.•••,. Two o'CLocK. The Stock Exchange markets exhibit quite an altered appearance from what they did a few days ago. The tendency to lower rates of discount has imparted a stimulus to operators for a rise, and all is now buoyancy where before there was depression. The Funds show an improvement of 1 per cent., and Consols for money are 891 1, and 891 I for the account. The New Zhrees and Reduced Annuities are 871 d ; March Exchequer Bills, 4s dis. ; ditto June, 14s dis. ; and India 5 per Cents. 1051 1. In the Foreign Market general firmness is ap parent, and business is rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 ; do. Consolides, 501 1 ; Mexican, 27 4 ; do. New, 251 4 ; Greek, 221 1 ; Spanish Passive, 311 ; do. Certificates, 131 148 ; Portuguese, 46 1 ; Italian, 64-Z ; and the Confede rate Loan, 64 66. In the Railway Share Market there has been rather more animation, and prices in most instances exhibit a further improvement. Bristol and Exeter, Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern (Berwick), have each advanced 10s, and South Eastern 50. Great Western, however, have declined se, and Metropolitan 11 10s.__ The Foreign and Colonial lines show little or no change. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares exhibit increased firmness. London and Westminster have improved to 94, Alliance to 35, London and County to 711, Hudson's Biy Company to 153- tl, and National Dis count Company to 13i 1. BRITISH FUNDS-ONE O'CLOCK.

THE MURDER OF MR BRIGGS CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY, THE TRIAL OF MULLER, SECOND DAY. The trial of Muller was resumed this morning. There was the same excitement as yesterday, and the Court was crowded. At ten o'clock the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Baron Martin took their seats on the bench. The prosecution was conducted by the Solicitor-General, Sergeant Ballantine, Mr Hannan, Mr Beasley, and Mr Giffard. The prisoner was defended by Sergeant Parry, Mr Besley, and Mr Metcalfe. A few minutes before the judges arrived Muller appeared in the dock, and had a very hasty interview with his soli citor, but afterwards he immediately retired. The names of the jury having been called over, The prisoner was placed at the bar by the Governor of Newgate, and the trial then proceeded. The first witness called was John Henry Glass, who, in his examination by Mr air fare!, said—l am a tailor in the employ of Mr Hodgkinscn. I have known the prisoner about four years. On Thursday the 12th of July he came to me in the shop, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and asked rae if I would buy a watch. He showed me a gold one. He said that he had also got a chain, but that it was in pawn for £l. He told me he wanted money to go to America, and that was the reason he asked me to buy a watch and chain, the latter of which was in pawn. I told him to come the next morning, which he did, and I redeemed the chain for £I. We afterwards went to Cox's, near Leicester-square, and there the watch and chain were pawned by the prisoner for £l. The prisoner actually pawned the things. I took the ticket and ho the money. It was pawned in my name. I gave him 5s more for the ticket, so altogether I had advanced £1 ss, as I had to pay the money to take out the chain. We then went in an omnibus to the Bank, where we parted, prisoner saying he was going to the London Docks to get a ticket for New York. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—The prisoner had been in this country four years. He is a native of Saxe Weimar. During the whole time I have known the pri soner he has always borne the character of a kind and in dustrous young man. I don't know he was in the habit of pawning his watch and chain in order to exchange them. I did not, a fortnight before the pawning I have spoken of, see money in the prisoner's possession. I don't know how much the prisoner could earn in a week. lam a piece worker, and can earn 30s. or 365. a week. Henry Smith, assistant to Mr Barker, a pawnbroker in Shoreditch—On the 22d of June I took a gold Albert chain in pawn from the prisoner. Chain No. 3is the one. I ad vanced £1 upon it. The prisoner took a new ticket on the 12th of July, and the next day, the 13th, it was redeemed— I believe by Muller. Alfred Way—l was formerly assistant to Mr Barker. On the 13th of June last I took a watch in pawn from the prisoner. The one produced (Muller's watch) is the same. I advanced him £1 upon it. It was redeemed on the 12th of July by the prisoner. Charles Young—l am an assistant to Mr Amiss, 121, Minories, pawnbroker. I recollect on the 12th or July taking a pledge of a gold watch from a man. The chain No. 3 is not the one. The person pawning gave the name of John Muller. I should not know it again. I advanced £1 10s. The address given was 21, Jewry-street. Cross-examined—lt is very common to supply Christian names. I did so on the occrsion I refer to. Jonathan Mathews, examined by the Solicitor General —He said : I am a cabdriver. I knew the prisoner, and had done so for more than two years before 9th July. During that time I have seen him frequently—he used to come to my place. I recollect a circumstance about a hat for the pri soner, It took place about the latter end of November or December. I had a new hat on when he came to dine with me on a Sunday, and seeing it on he said he should like one like it. He put it on his head and found it a trifle too small. He asked mo what I gave for it, and I told him 108 Gd. He said he should like one, and I told him I would get one. I put it on his head and found it was small. I said then if I get one easy for myself it would do. He said it would. I purchased the hat at the shop of Mr Walker, Crawford street, Marylebone. I got it on a Saturday evening, and I took it home in a hat box, and on the Sunday week following Muller came for it, He took away both hat and box. I paid lOs Gd for the hat. The prisoner did not pay me all the money : he made the waistcoat I now have on in part payment. I afterwards saw him wear the hat after that frequently. I saw him wearing the hat a fortnight before the murder. I gave a description of the hat to the police before I saw it. I be lieve the hat now shown me to be the hat. Before I took the hat away from Mr Walker's I asked to have it turned up a little more in the brim. After I had it done I took it away, I know it had merino under the brim, I recollect seeing a small jeweller's box at my house, with the name of Death on it. I first noticed it on a Tuesday morning. I afterwards saw a handbill, and then I took the box to the police. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry —I identify this hat not only by the brim, but by other things. I had the rim turned up specially to make it like my own. The prisoner here handed a memoranda to his counsel. Sergeant Parry hero made some remark upon tbe depo sition, and was about asking him some question, when The Solicitor-General objected. Baron Martin—The best way will bo to ask whether ho did not give a different statement before the magistrate. Sergeant Parry—Did you not say on the occasion I refer to that you saw the one rim turned up more than the other ? Witness—Yes. • Sergeant Parry—ls not this the first time you ever said anything about the hatter turning the rim Witness—Yes. I cannot say 'what I have done with the bat I bought. I bought it at Mr Walker's. I bought one of my hats in Oxford-street. I did say I left my old hat at Mr Down's in Long-acre. I bought the hat in Oxford-street three weeks before I went to America. I cannot say whether it was Down's in Long-acre or Holborn. I did say I left one of my old hats at Down's, but that is a mistake. Before the coroner I said the next hat I purchased was a cheap one ; I bought it at Dawn's in Long-acre, and gave es 61 for it, and that I left the old one. It is a mistake. I find Mr Down has not a shop in Long-acre. I discovered the mistake. Mr Clarke, the police officer, was with me when I found Mr Down had not a shop in Long acre. I occasionally throw my old hats into the dusthole. I was asked if I could swear to the colour of the lining of my own hat, and I said I could not. I first heard of the murder on the Thursday in the week following. I mean to say I never heard of it before. I had been occa sionally on the rank during the time, but I never heard of it. I don't frequent public houses, but 1 might have gone into one for a single glass of ale every day about the time you mention. I take in a Sunday paper, but I did not see an account of the murder in it. I won't say it was the fault of the paper; but I did not look particularly at it. I live at 68, Earl-street, Paddington. I never saw any placards noticing the murder posted up anywhere. Here a short consultation took place between the counsel for the defence. Cross-examined—l knew Muller was going to America. I gave information to the police on Monday the 18th. I knew then Muller had gone to America by the Victoria. I knew he was to sail on the 11th. He had been to my house to bid us good bye. I was out with my cab on the 9,11 of July. I said before the coroner it was impossible for me to say where I was on the evening of that day. I have made inquiries to ascertain where I was on that evening. I did so in consequence of losing a pocketbook, which I have since recovered. Sergeant Parry—Did I not see you slip a paper into your pocket just now ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—Produce it. The witness did so. Sergeant Parry—This is a letter written in September. Is the writer here ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—ln your examination before the coroner did you not say you: employer, Mr Perkins, was sold up. Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—You now say sold off.

Sergeant Parry—Were you convicted fox stealing a post ing boot and pair of spurs ? Witness--Yes. They were in the box when I sent it home, but I did not know they were there. Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—l was about 29 years of age at the time I was convicted. lam now 37. I have not been in trouble since. How I came to know about the murder was, I was at the rack at Paddington, and while the horse was drinking I saw a bill there on . the wall, and I asked the waterman how high he thought I was. Sergeant Parry—l object to that. The Solicitor-General —Y ou shall have the whole of the conversation. Lord Chief B iron—you cannot, brother Parry, have a portion of a conversation taken down in the notes. Sergeant Parry—l don't Rant even a portion of the con • versation taken down. Lord Chief Baron—We will have the whole of the con versation. Sergeant Parry—l can't object, if your lordship so rules. Solicitor-General (to witness) —Repeat the whole of the conversation. Witness —I went home sad looked at the small box I had at home. From what I had heard from the waterman I knew the name of the jeweller was Death. I took the box to the waterman. He got inside my cab, and I drove him to the police station at Paddington, I saw Sergeant Steer there, and I gave it to him, together with a small slip of paper, written by Muller. I gave information then about the hat, Mr Tanner has got the bit of paper. Inspector Tanner pro need the paper, It was found to be the name and address of Mrs Blyth. Witness—l went to America with the Muller expedition. I have since my return discovered where I was on the 9AI of July. I was on the rank at the Great Western Rail way from seven till eleven. I did not get a fare up to that time, and I then went home afterwards. I bought ejoint of meat ; and then took the meat home, having previously left the cab at the stables at Lisson grove. I was cross-examined a good deal about my hat, but before the examination I had made myself well acquainted with what had become of all my previous hats With respect to the statement I made before the Coroner about these hats, I was asked whether one side of the brim was not turned up more than the other, I said yes. I have since that made some further inquiries, in older to speak with greater correctness. The deposition of Mathews, takes befcre the magistrate and Coroner were then put in and read, but they did not differ from the evidence given to-day in any important par ticular, except as far as regards the engagement of Mathews on the evening of the 9th of July. On the occasion re- ferred to he said ho did not know where he was or what he was doing that night. Eliza Mathews, examined by Sergeant Ballantine--I am the wife of the last witness. I know Muller, and have done so for two years. He used to come to our house. I was present when the conversation took place about the hat. I know my husband bought one at Crawford-street. It was turned up at the side rather more than my husband's was. The hat produced looks like the hat I refer to. The hat I speak of was bought for and given to Muller about a fortnight after it was brought home. On Monday, the 11th, the prisoner called to see me ; he said he had come to wish us good-bye previous to going to New York. He remained throe or four hours. de said ho was going out in the service of Mr Hodgkinson, and that he was to get £l5O a year. He told me he had met with an accident on Thursday— that a letter-cart had run over his foot. During the time he was with us he showed me a chain, which he took off tho button-hole cf his waistcoat. I took and, after looking at it, I told him it was not a very good one. I saw a little box on the occasion. Muller took it out of his pocket and gave it to my little girl. My husband took that box about a week after. My daughter played with it all the Monday evening, when it was put in a drawer. I saw Muller had a ring on ; ho told mo his father had sent it him from Germany, Ho wished us good bye and went away. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—My husband first saw the box on the Tuesday morning. Muller never said a word about Mr Death to me. I now recollect that I said Mr Death was a good jeweller. I noticed the prisoner wore dark trousers. He was with us for three or four hours on the Monday. As he was going away, I said, when he took off his hat to go, "how well that hat wears." Muller said, "It's a different hat." I heard of the murder on Monday, the 11th, from a lodger in our house. I was told a shock ing murder had been committed In a railway carriage. My husband used occasic nally to buy a penny paper, which he would read on the box. I used to take them sometimes out of his pockets. I won't be sure whether or not we had a Sunday paper after I heard the murder. By Serjeant B Allantine—My husband would be out with his cab for hours after 1 was in bed, At the suggestion of a juror Mrs Repech was recalled and asked if she recollected the day Muller first brought tho hat she had spoken of to her house, to which she replied she could not. Mr Revell recalled, and in answer to a question from the learned Judge, he said he was in the habit of seeing Muller on week-days, but that he did not see him for three or four Sundays previous to the murder. Joseph Hemequort, examined by Mr Gifford, said—l am foreman to Mr Hodgkinson. The prisoner had been for six weeks, previous to the 9th of July, in our employ. He re ceived 255. a week. After he had been with us a month it was arranged he should work piece-work, which he did for two weeks. He never went back .to work for 255.; he said he could make more, and he discharged himself a week before the murder was committed. He was not engaged by my employers to go to America. Cross-examined by Mr Metcalfe—He bore a good cha• ract3r. He was not of a quarrelsome disposition. Edward Watson—l was formally foreman to Mr Walker, of Crawford-street, hatter. I left last week. The mate• rial with which this hat (that found in the railway car riage) is lined was used by us during the time I was there. I should think the price of the hat produced would be about Bs. 61. Cross-examined—The lining is peculiar to Mr Walker's house. I don't know how many hats would be lined with it, but I don't think we had more than 3 or 4 hats lined with that material. Lord Chief Baron—Do you mean to say that not more than 3 or 4 were lined with that material ? Witness—Yes, my lord. It was a portion of some sample lining sent to Mr Walker. Sergeant Parry—Wero did it come from ? Witness-1 cannot say, Mr Walker, hatter, of Crawford-street, Marylebone, examined by the Solicitor-General—The hat and box pro- duced come from my shop. The lining is peculiar. I did not have more than one or two hats lined with it. It was one of a lot of sample pieces that I bought. There were about 500 pieces in all when I bought them, It is a French hat. The Solicitor-General—Lo o k at that hat; is it an 8s Gd or 108 6d hat ? Sergeant Parry—Ask hint what would be the cost of such a hat. The Solicitor •General—V er y well; answer that question. Witness—About 8a 61 or 10s 6d; I cannot say which. Inspector Tiddy,examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l pro duce the jeweller's be; the hat box, and slipper referred to during this trial. James Giffard—l am agent for Messrs Grinnell, ship owners. They have an office on the north quay in the London dock. I open the office about 9 o'clock. I recog nise the prisoner. I first saw hiui on Wednesday morning, the 13th of July, about 11 o'clock. He asked me the price of the passage to Now York. I told him Li. He asked when the ship sailed, and I said "To-morrow." He then went away, and came back about 2 o'clock, and said, "I've come to pay the fare." Ho paid the LI, and I gave him the cheque. He came back again the same day, about 3 o'clock, with three parcels. two large and one small one. It did not seem to contain some hard substance with angles. Sergeant Parry—Surely that is not fair to ask such a question ; you can ask him what sort of a parcel it was. Mr Giffard—Well, then, what sort of a parcel was the small one ? Witness—lt was a small one about 18 inches long and 9 wide, I refused to take charge of the parcels, and he took them away. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—lt is the habit of poor German emigrants to carry a small parcel containing their soap, brushes, There were about tour Germans going as passengers in the Victoria. We have a German porter, and he would answer any question in my absence. The learned Sergeant asked for the production of the contract ticket, but it had been lost. Sergeant Parry—You can give a general statement of its contents ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—The prisoner gave his correct name and address ? Witness—Yes. Jacob Wiest, in the employment of Mr White at the London Docks—l recollect Fixing the prisoner some days previous to his paying his passage on the Wednesday. 1 am not quite positive, but I have some recollection of seeing him at our office on Monday, I got there about nine in the morning. George Clark, of the Detective Police, said—l boarded the Victoria on her arrival at New York on the 25th of August. Tierman, a New York policeman, was with mo, The pt ismer ut the bar was ou board. Ile was culled to the after part of the ship by the captain. I took hold of his arm, and he said, " What's the matter ? Tierman said, "You are charged with the murder of Mr Briggs," and I followed it up saying " Yes, on the North London Railway, between llttckney Wick and Bow, on the 9eli of July." Prisoner, I think, said " I never was on the line," but I don't know whether he said he never was on the line that night or that he never was on the line at all. I then told him I was a policeman, and he was taken below. Tireman searched him. A key was taken from his waistcoat pocket. I asked him what it belonged to, and he replied his box. I asked him where it was, and he said in his berth. I com municated with the captain, and then went to No. 9 berth, and found a black box, which I took into the saloon. 1 unlocked the box, and in the corner I found the watch (iroduceet) in a piece of leather, Aa I Wad taking it out I asked the prisoner what it was, and he said it was his watch, and that the hat also in the box was his, and that he had the watch about two years, and the hat twelve months. I told him he would have to remain in custody. He was kept on board all night, and in the morning taken to New York. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—Prisoner answered all my questions with the utmost readiness. Sergeant Parry—Did not the prisoner say when you told him of the murder that ho knew nothing about it ? Witness—No. Sergeant Parry—Are you sure of that, and that you said so in your evidence before the coroner ? The witness's deposition was referred to, and it then ap peared that the words used were found therein. Witness—lf the words are there I must have said so. In speaking of the prisoner's shir's I have said they were old ones. I should have said they were soiled ones. They ap peared to have been worn once or twice. Richard Tanner, superintendent of the Detective Police— By order of Sir Richard Mayne I took Mathews and Mr. Death to New York. I found Muller on board the Vic toria. When I went on board I left Mr Death above and went below. I placed Muller amongst eight others and Mr Death at once pointed him cut. I said to Muller, " Have yon stated that you have lost a ring on board the ship.' Ho said, " Yes, but it must have been stolen from me." I said, " Tell m what sort of a one it is, and I will try to have it found." Be said, "It is a gold one with a plain white atone with a head on it. I bought it in Cheapside, and gave 7s. 6d. for it," The ring was not found. I took possession of the effects of the prisoner. He said all his things were in the box. The box was here produced for the inspection of the jury, and the hat of Mr Briggs was placed in the position in which it was found. The box in addition contained two pairs of trousers, some shirts, a pair of tailor's shears, some collars, a towel or two, some brushes, but no coat. The court here adjourned for re f reshment. On tha re-assembling of the court, Inspector Tanner was eross-examined by Sergeant Parry —Before I saw Muller I knew the ring had been lost. I had a description of it from Mr Death. When Muller de scribed the ring to me he said it was a plain gold ring, with a white stone which had a head on it. The examination in New York took place after Muller had had the opportunity of consulting a legal gentleman. I found lls in money when I searched him. Ile did not tell me how he got the money. I believe he told Sergeant Clarke he had sold some of his clo thee. Sergeant Clarke recalled—Prisoner told me he had ex changed the waistcoat for a little leather reticule. .1 got the garment back again. Re-examined—The prisoner had on a very old waistcoat when I arrested him. Ile wore the waistcoat he had pre viously exchanged. Sergeant Parry—Will your lordship ask the witness Tanner whether the clothes the prisoner now wears have been taken up for analysis The Lord Chief Baron (to Tanner)—ls that so? Inspector Tanner—They have been closely examine& Mr Thomas James Briggs, son of the murdered gentle man (examined by Mr Human), said—The last time I saw my father alive to speak to him was on the 7,11 of July. I heard of what had happened on Sunday. I saw him that day at the Mitford Castle. He was at that time alive but insensible. I accompanied him when he was removed from there to his own house, No. 5, Ciapton-Equare. He died about a quar ter to 12 on the Sunday night. The watch produced is my father's. My father for many years has purchased his hats at Mr Diganoe's of the Royal Exchange. The one produced seems somewhat shorter than that usually worn by my late father. The chain and other articles found in the railway carriage belonged to him. Mr Titmarsh, watchmaker, Hackney, said—l know the watch produced. It belonged to the late Mr Briggs. I had it to repair in February, 1863. The watch, I should say, is worth £l2. I daresay it originally cost £25. Mr Digance, hatter, of the Royal Exchange, examined by the Solicitor-General—Mr Briggs was a customer of mine for nearly 30 years. Every hat he has had has been made to order, I took an order from him for a hat in September, 1863. The one now before me is lower in the crown than that ordered by Mr Briggs. The other parts of it correspond. The hat originally was a little too easy, and I placed some tisane paper under- neath the lining, a portion of which now remains. [This the witness pointed out to the jury.] The hat has been cut down from en inch to an inch and a half, The piece has been removed, and then the upper part of the hat has been stitched on to the brim. The silk has been pasted over to hide the stitches. The hat has not been cut down as a hatter would do it. I am certain of that. I never knew such a thing to be done, but suppose it had to be performed by a hatter, he would use gum and then put it on a block and preFs it down with a hot iron, That has not been done in the hat before me. The altera• tion has been very neatly performed, and apparently by a person who understands sewing. The hat, with the excep tion I have spoken of, corresponds in every particular with that I made for the late Mr Briggs. When a hat is ordered the name of the person so ordering it is placed on the band of the article. That is the portion that has been cut from the hat I now hold in my hand. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—lt is not an unusual thing to put tissue-paper underneath the lining of a hat that is too eaey. I know nothing of a second-hand trade in hats. hly hats might get into the hands of second.hane dealers, as servants sometimes sell their masterb' hats. We shall continue the case in our late edition. The following is tho conclusion of the evidence adduced yesterday, which appeared in our. Third Edition last evening.— Mr John Death, jeweller, of 55, Cheapside, examined by Sergeant Ballantine—On the morning of Monday, the 11th of July last, about ten o'clock in the morning, the prisoner came into my shop and offered a second-hand chain for sale. The chain produced (Mr Briggs's chain) was handed by me to my brother for him to set a value on it, as the prisoner wished to exchange it for another. I went and put it on the scale to weigh it, and as I did so the pri soner turned round to see me do it. After weighing it and closely examining it to judge of its quality, I told bim I should give £3 10s. for it. He accepted the offer, and he then asked to be shown some new articles. I showed Wm a variety of chains, and the one nearest to the value of the chain offered was £3 15s. I cannot recollect the exact words he used, but he declined to pay the 6s. I looked over the stock and found a chain, value £3 ss, of which the prisoner approved. It was then put into a paper box, and I made a parcel and delivered it to the prisoner. The box had my name and address on it. 1 asked him what he would take for the ss, and he replied "A finger ring," I showed him a small second hand signet ring, with a white cornelian stone. He tried it on, it fitted him, and he retained it on his finger. Sergeint Ballantinr —Look at the " jump" ring. Do you believe it once belonged to Mr Briggs' chain ? Witness—There must have been a ring of that descrip tion on the chain. Examination continned—l gave certain information to Inspector Kerressey, snd I afterwards went to Now York The ring the prisoner had had a whits cornelian atone in it, with a head engraved on it. Cross. examined by Sergeant Parry—lt is a very common thing to exchange a chain. I had never seen the prisoner in my shop before. My brother and myself are constantly in tho shop, I cacnot say which of us is there the most frequent. Sergeant Parry—Did not the prisoner call at your shop in November last to have a link put to a chain, for which he paid Is. 63. ? Witness—l cannot say; I don't know that he did. The Chief Baron—l think, to prevent mistake, we had better call Mr Briggs',chain No, 1; the chain had of Mr Death No. 2; rid the chain pawied by the prisoner No, 3. - -. Sergeant Parry—Va./ well, my lord. Now did you not, in November last, put a link on No. 3 chain ? Witness—l cannot say. Sergeant Parry—Can you judge of your own work in such a case ? Witness—No, I cannot. .. _ Sergeant Parry—Look at the link that has been broken. Witness—l can't remember the chain at all. Itc-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Until the mo,a lag I have refei:ed to I never saw the prisoner. Ellen Blyth, of 19, Park-terrace, Old Ford, said—My husband fq a messenger. I know the prisoner. He lodged at our hone, and had done so for about seven weeks, end ing the 14th of July. On Saturday, the 9th of July, the prisoner had not returned home when we went to bed at 11 o'cloo'r. Ho had a latch key with him. I saw him the next morning between eight and rine in the kitchen. He slept upstairs in the first floor back. I heard him come down before I saw him in the kitchen. On Sunday, the 10th, he rems'ned in doors all day. He went out in the evening about six. On Monday, the 11th, he went out about eight in the morning, and retuned before eight and nine in the evening. On that day he showed me a gold Albert chain, the chain numbered 2 is similar to it. :When the prisoner came to live in our house he brought a hat-box with the name of Walker on it. I found it atter he had loft. I gave it to the police. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry —There was nothing in his marner on the Sunday different to his usual manner. I have known him for 12 months, and I have always found him to ben gentle inoffensive young man. lie took his meals with us as usual on Sunday. My husband was with us when wo went out on the Sunday. My husband was nut examined before the magistrate. lie has not been examined at all. The prisoner wore the same dress on the Sunday he did un the Saturday. 1 cannot recollect how he was dressed when hu wont out on Monday the 11th. The coat now put into my hand is the ono ho wore on the Saturday, Sunday, rad Monday. lam sure the trousers he wore on the Sunday were the same as he had on on the Saturday. lie wore a slipper on the Saturday when he went out—of that lam positive. I gave that flipper, together with the hat box, to Inspector Tiddy. I don't know that when he went out on Monday ho was going to the docks. I knew he was going to America a fortnight previous to the 14th of July. Ho told the he was going by the Victotia, He did not give me his address in New York, The prisoner is about 23 years of age, The last thing I wushed f,r the prisoner was six Lew shire. Re-examined by tha General—Tha prisoner vitli ua cra tlie u udy eveuipg ftucu six till George Blyth, examined by Mr Giffa.rd—l am the hus band of the last witness. The prisoner used to leave home with me when he first lodged with us. We used to go out at half-past 7to a quarter to 8. During the last week of his continuing with us I left him at home every morning. On Sunday, the 10th July, the prisoner accompanied me and my wife in a walk to Victoria Park. On Monday evening I did not see the prisoner when I returned home. He did not come in till between 8 and 9 o'clock. When he returned Haifa was with line. I noticed a gold chain he had on. It was a different ono to that which he had pre viously worn. Cross-examined by Mr Metcalfe—l believe he hurt his foot by a cart going over it. He wore the slipper on the moraing of Srnday. We walked during the whole of the time we were out on Sunday. lie wore the same things on the Sunday that he did on the Saturday. I can't say how he was dressed on Monday. The coat now before me is the one the prisoner wore when I last saw him. He was always looked upon as a quiet, well conducted young man. I never know him to get into any disturbance. Ho told me he was going to America about a fortnight before he sailed. Elizabeth Sarah Rspsch, exam'nel oy the Salicitor• General—l reside at 12i Jewiy-street, Aldgate. My hus b and is a tailor. I have 1-aoa a the prisoner far nearly two years. He formerly worked for a fo:end of my husband. I saw him on the 9 h of July last. His ou a watch and chain I knew was then in pledge. I first saw him in the morning about 12 o'clock. He remained with us all the afternoon, and last recollect seeing him at our house about half-past 7. •1 knew ho had met with en accident. I saw him with a slipper on. I went out and left the poisoner there a :th John Haifa. He left one of his slippers at our house. I returned home about half-past 8, and Muller had gone. I next saw him on Monday mooning between 10 and 11. He then wore light trousers—on the Saturday he had dark ones on. When he came in ho sat down on the shopboerd, end pre duced a chain from his waistcoat pocket. Chain No. 2 I believe to be the same. He sPid he had bought it in the docks, and had given £3 10s for it. He also showed me a with a white cotnelian stone, which he F' , 'd he had also bought. He had the t ing on his finger, and raid he had given 7s 6d fur it. I noticed he had a different hat on than usually wore by him. He had his old hat on on the Sa a day when I saw him. I remerked to him that he was extravagant in having a new hat, when he said his old one was mashed, and he had thrown it in the dust-hole. My husba-1 raked him what he paid for it, and he replied Ps. 61. My husband said " Why that looks more like a grinea hat." Muller's former hat was ve.y d'lsreut from it. It had a merino rim and wrs lined u;th blue end broua-stoippel firing The lining was so pezulirr that I frequently was induced to look at it. I have seen him place letters unde..leath the lining. [The hat found in the roiluay re siege was then shown to the IN 'ainess, and she raid to the best of her belief it was the one she had seen the prisoner wear ] Prisoner said Mathews had made him a prevent of the hat. This was either in November or December of the previous year. I never saw him wear any other. He brought the hat on the first occ iion. I saw it :n a box &miler to that now produced. On Satto-day, Jv'y 9, the prisoner, to the best of my toiler, wore the old bat (the one for - id in the es/liege). I know the poisoner bad a single-breasted uvercoat, with a velvet collar. I don't think he wore that on the 9th July. Cross-examined by Sergeant Pa, ay—The prisoner wore the slipper the whole of the Saturday, but I cannot say whether he left with it on or not. Pl:soner was fond of finery, and was partial about showing things. I can't ssy he was fond of romancing. He told us ho had told Mrs Blythe that Messrs. Hodgkinson were going to send him to America. I don't know the colour of the lining of my husband's hat. I had a right, I suppose, to move Mullet's hat if it was in my way at home. That weu'd enable me to see the colour of the lining. The hit was constrntly in my hand. I know Haifa. He has been in the habit of coming to our house. I dcn't know the colour of the lining of his hat. I cannot say whether I looked inside Mullet's hat 30 or 40 times. I may have done so. I know a person namtd• John Mathews. I did not see him until after he came from New York, lam positive I did not see him before he went. I recollect the prisoner refusing to lend me ss. I don't think he said he could not lend it be cause he was going to buy a hat. Indeed he could not say so, because he gave me the money. I said he did not lend me the money in the first instance, because you put your questions to me so rapidly. He never lent but one sum of money. I don't expect to get any of the reward. Re-examined by the Solicitor-General—He had not the samo hat on oa Monday, the 11th, to that I saw him in on the Saturday. I recollect repay'og the 5s I borrowed of the prisoner. He said nothing about buying a hat. Tb;a occurred after he had shown me the hat he got Cora Mathews. I have lent prisoner small sums of money, which he has repaid. I don't think ho borrowed anything daring the last week I saw Woe in London. When Mrller first showed me ths hat I said " What a peculiar lining." I have noticed him once place letters in his hat. I pledged a coat for Muller to enable h'oi to pay his pe3sago to Ametic.l. He esked me to pawn it, I did it on Wednesday the 13th. I pledged it at 131, blincy,:es, I gut Gs on it. I gave it to Muller. Godr - ey Ferdinand Illosch st“d—l saw t t le p.'son.9r at my hor - :e on SaLarday the 9't of July. lie the a wore a morning coat and dark .cor lore. I know ho had another pair of trousers, new one but I never saw them after the 9th of Jrly. I recollect the pt ;goner coming to my house on the following Monday. He then wore a new hat. I said, " You've got a new hat." ri:toner Ba'd he had had the hat a couple of montl• 4. I told Lien it was a very good hat. I asked him vQ,4it it c mit, and he told me 14s Gd, end said it wes a goad hat r id worth a guinea. He said he had worn it but two or throe limes on Shrilly. Ho took a watch and cb •e out of b's coat pocket. Cross-examined by Sergeant Pr - .y—l have seen him wear the clothes I saw him in on Saturday before that day. I said, when I was first question i about tire clothes theeprisoner wore on the Saturday—l said they we.e a mixture of black, brow a, and eve.y colour, and lie y old. I did not ask him to come to Jr house early on Mou day morning to cut out some work. I I new he was going to America. I gave him leave to work up his clothes at at my house on that account. Everybody who knew the prisoner knew he was going to America. I have known Matthews fur some time, but I had not seen him for a long time. The first time I saw him was at the inquest at Hackney after he had given the information. I know that two months previous to his departure for New York he bought some new clothes. Re-examined by the Solicitor-Generel—l never noticed the change of hat until the Monday morning. The trousers put into my hand aro the dark trousers I have mentioned. I don't know that they were left behind by the prisoner when he went to America. John Haffa-1 have known the prisoner about 14 months. I recollect the 9th of July. I was at Mr Repsch's on that day. I recollect the prisoner being there. He left in the evening between 7 and 8, saying he was going to see his sister. Previous to his departure from Engleud I lent prisoner 12s, on the Wednesday. He gave me a duplicate of a gold chain as security. The Chief Baron—What chain is that—l, 2, or 3 ? Counsel—No. 2, my lord. Witness continued—l afterwards got a ticket of a coat from Mr Repsch, which I got out of pawn two days be fore the prisoner returned from America. I sent it to Scotlrnd-yard for him to wear on his arrival in London. I was perfectly swan he was going to America. I knew he was home. I have seen him in possession of money, both gold and silver, previous to the 9th of July. I can't say how much, but I believe it was to pay his pas sage. Daring the time I have known the prisoner he hes always borne the character of a kind young man. I have heard him say his sweetheart's name was Eldred, and that she lived at Camberwell. When he went out on Monday I saw him go out in a slipper. I assisted him to the utmost of my ability to nuke up his passage money. I never asked Min how be had spent the money I had seen in Fs possession. He did not say that he had bought a watch and che'n with the money. I will not say he did not say so, but I vial recollect. Mr Robert Death—l am the 'mother of Mr John Death. I recollect the prisoner coming into our shop on Monday, the 11th. I don't think I ever saw him before. Sergeant Parry—Are you sure ? Witness—To the best of my recollection, I never saw him till that day. Sergeant Perry—Look at the chain No. 3. There is a link broken. Have, you ever seen that before ? Witness—No, I never saw the chain before. There is something so peculiar about it, that if I had I should have been certain to remember it. It appears to have been mended. Such a 'weir wov'd be sent to a job bing jeweller; is. Gd. would have been about the price. Prisoner wore dark clothes when I saw him, although my fist impression wee that he wore light trousers. The person who does our jobbieg repairs resides in Bartholomew-eque re. The chairs a-a generally sent to the makers for repair. The trial was at this point adjourned until to-morrow morning.

GENERAL GARIBALDI. A report was brought up from the City Lands Commilen for piyment of the expenses, amounting to £2OB 9s 6d i i n ., eurrtd upon the presentation of the honorary freedom, of the City, and unanimously agreed to. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. A report was brought up "on the reference of the 19th May last, to c Dnsider the:r repor t relative to the expenditure incurred by the Commissioners of Sewers dur:ng 1862 A -id 1863, in effecting certain street improvements, and re commending that £l,OOO be contribute t in respect of the improvements in Bull-4 id- Moat h- street, Paternoster-row, and Upper Thames -street." The consideration of the report was deferred. A report was brought up by the same committee " ot pro ceedings under the reference of May 21, 1863, on the peti tions of owners and others interested in proper -y in Few. church street and Gracechurch street, relative to the forma. tion of a new street from Gracechurch street to Rood lane, and recommending that the reference be discharged." In asking the Court to discharge this reference, Deputy Fier said he did not doubt that if the improvements could have been made as °rig:l:rely intended it wou'd be a way good thing .or the City and the public at large, but the finances of the corporation were not in such a floutisbing condition as some people meght suppose ; at all events, they were not prepared to lay cat the very large sum, estimated at £BO,OOO, requited to carry out these worl - e. In the first instance the promoters of the scheme had ag:ecd to deposit £100,600 to carry out the works, but they had since altered Cleir mind, and hod declined to deposit the money, and the Corporation did not feel themselves justified in la)ing out such a very large sum. Ile therefore asked that the reference might be discharged. Mr STEWART opposed the motion, s ry:ng t'ae City could afforl to make the street themselves without my support; and he argued that, if continued in a line with Cannon tweet, the new street would be of the g:eatest possible ser vice to the City. Alderman HALE certa'rily hoped the street r 3 originally projectei would be carried out. Alderman Fluidal's agreed with Mr Deputy F.y that, although it would be an undoubted improvement, the Cor poradon cou'd not of itself aTord to go to the expense which it would necessarily entail. Mr L. TAYLOR said there appeared to be a misunder standing on this subject by Alderman Hale, aq, although Mr Mason had in the first instance agreed to deposit ZlOO,OOO iu the b..nk on behalf of the City, he had since refused to ratify his promise, so that if this stre3t was built it must be wholly at the expanse of the Corporation. Mr Deputy FRY said that while the Corporation of the city of London had yearly to pay £17,000 for justice in the shape of grqls and prisoners, they would be quite unable to make any public improvements of any consequence; and it was to be hoped that a rate would be levied on the. diCarent citizens and on the large buildings, that a rate equal to the county rate might be leviei to pay those expenses, in which case the City would be able to make verygreat improvements. Atter some dismsion the reference wes discharged, end the subject dropped. CITY FINANCES. A report being brought up from the Coal e - rd Coin and Fineries Committee, "on the reference of the 20th inst., recommending that the sum of £17,620, required for the works, &e., at the City of London Lesaat:c Asylum, be pro vided out of this City's cash," Mr Deputy BONE asked the Cou-t to agree with the motion. /Shay persons appeared to tbirk that the city of London we a in a stale of insolvency, but he wr s very happy to inform them that their finale - 3 were never in a better cordition with regard to all legi'mate expenses. They had plea.y of money for all proper expenses. At the present time they hrd a belance of £2.5,766, which was ;ally sufficient to defray all legitimate expenses; but they were like a private individual who had a good income, but who overrun that incline, and ko would tell the Court that they had been guilty of several exravesonces lately. Mr Iticueuresore believed the Corporation was never in better condition then it was at the present time. Ultimately the Court agreed with the report. SOUTHWARK BRIDGE. Mr THOMAS RUDKIN moved that it be referred to the Bridge-house Estates Committee to take the necessary steps for the introduction of a bill into Parliament during the next session to empower the Corporation to purchase Southwark bridge, rad with authority to confer with her Majesty's Government and the Metropolitan Board of Narks thereon. In briegiog forward this motion, Mr Rudkin said it had been dt 'ided to throw open Southwark-bridge for a short time f -co of toll, and he apprehended that they would be able b put clay 3e it altogether, so that it could be thrown open to the public pek.nalently, as it was quite certain that after it had once been open free, public opinion would never allow it to be closed again. (Hear, hear.) With regard t o the Corporation buying it altogether out of their owa funds, he thought that the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Government ought to be applied to to assist them. He there fore moved his motion, that the Metropolitan Beard of Works should be conferred with. _ _ _ Mr PHILLIPS seconded tha motion. Mr PEDLER thought they ought not to ask for compul sory powers from Parliament, as he thought it could bs better sdttled between themselves. After a few words from Mr HarCs end Mr Lawley, Mr Deputy JONES said he thought if the bridge wee bought at all the Corporation ought to buy it in tcto, as if tho Metropolitan Board of Works had any hand in paying for it there would always be squabbles as to preredence. Re hoped that Mr Rudkin would withdraw his motion. After some further discussion MrRLDRIN agreed to with draw his motion. The reference of the 20th instant, recommendin g ; " that the money required for the opening of Southwark-bridge be provided from the City cash upon loan to the Bridge, house Estates Fund," was agreed to.
