The Premiums of the year B 1863 reached the sum of Being an advan ce of 4341,668 rer 1862 ; an amount of i 40,977 increase exceeding that of any pre 0118 year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was. £75.993 Ditto 1833 88,966 Showing an Increase in one year of ...... Z 12,973 Among the incidents which have tended to the advance_ Lent of the Royal within the lastf ew months may be reckoned 8 action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo on of the Lotty Sleigh, which although on' y con •istent with le general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti tately proved to be no more than what had been done in tor ker times by the o'dest and most proverbial'y honourable mong its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public wour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of rogression have been attained In the present year, so it Ippens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the tirectors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an ounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted ) 483515 • of which sum £34, 100 only has been appropriated Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £19,411 been %tried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. Th tus eless progress of the Life B ranch, as shown by the New k tiansacted in the last year, is most promising, and he advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In urances effected, sh - 'w clearly the estimation In whi c h t h e o mpany is held. The following is a statement for the last re years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees.

Phe first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips he ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as be sum assured for that period of six months only actually zreeeds Half-a -Mil ion sterling.

The Pre sident said he would take a note of the fact, and then called the witness Faugcret. Faureget said he was a Frenchman, and had pro ceeded to Posen as a volunteer for the insurrection, for which purpose ho had received 100 f. from the Polish Committee at Paris. The object of the committees and the subscriptions at Paris was to restore the whole of ancient Poland, including the proviso.? of Posen.

Yellow fever was prevalent among the shipping at Demerara ; upwards of 60• men in hospitut. The master and seven of the crew of the Indian Chief M. Brachvogel then read some letters from the witness Faugeret, in which the latter offers to act as a spy and a witness for the prosecution, adding that " ho will henceforth serve the Prussian autho rities with the same zeal as ho did on the other side before he knew the Poles." In another letter he says that "ho will not spare even his own country. men," and concludes with three words—" You may trust my vengeance, which will never be equal to the evil which has been done me." were dead. Rain at all the islands, and very heavy weather experienced by the mail steamer Conway between Barbadoes and St. Kitts.

JAMAICA.—The ceremony of the inauguration of his Excellency Governor Eyre took place on the 23d of August. The oaths were administered by Sir Bryan Edwards, Chief Justice, after which the Right Rev.

Preparations were being made Sigismund Niezolewski and F. Molinka were examined on the charge of being functionaries of the National Government, their names being men• tioned in the Dzialynski memoranda. Nothing, however, was established against them, and they were at once liberated, together with W. Loncki. A policeman named Jordens having been brought up to give evidence respecting the revision in the Dzialyneki palace, M. Elven proposed to put some questions to him respecting certain police kbuses in which he had taken part, but th 3 Court declared such questions irrelevant, and then closed the sitting. The sitting of the 7th was entirely occupied with the examination of witnesses in the cases of King, Ohnstein, and Hoffman, tradesmen of Posen, charged with having sold arms to the insurgents, and ended with the liberation of Hoffman, Ohnstein, Obcrfclt, Kaniewski, and Jaroezynski. Oberfelt's shop, however, is still to remain closed. On the Bth two witnesses, named Samolik and Przbylski, deposed that the accused Matuszewski, tailor, had incited them to join the insurrection. When cross-examined by the President end M. Lisiecki, however, the former admitted that ho had been in prison as a rogue and a vagabond, and the latter that ho had robbed Prince Radziwill of a pair of pistols. The President then called the witness Faugeret, who admitted that the letters which had been read at the last sitting were his.

S' LUClA...—During the fortnight, owing to re freshing showers, a decided change for the better was visible in the young canes throughout the island. Business very dull, the crop being over. But little money in circulation, and the banks are charging 4821- dols per £lOO sterling for their 90 days' bille. Rum—Stocks heavy, but very little demand. - - pen E OS. M.

Tho last London Gazette conthins a notice which, accord.. ing to the editorial apologists for Earl Russell's mingled craft and weakness, supplies additional and powerful evi dence to the perfect impartiality (sic) observed by her Majesty's Government towards the belligerents in America. What that impartiality has been the public do not need to be told ; and we venture to say that the additional evidence will lead them to a very different conclusion from that which the writer hastens to bespeak, with a suspicion that his case is hollow. The words of the Gazatc notification are these : —" Foreign-office, Sept. B.—lt is hereby notified that her Majesty has been pleased to order that for the future, no ship of war belonging to either of the belligerent Powers of North America shall be allowed to enter, or to remain, or be, in any of her Majesty's ports for the purpose of being dismantled or sold ; and her Majesty has been pleased to give directions to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, and to the governors of her Majesty's colonies and foreign possessions, to see this order is properly carried into effect," The making of the order applicable to both of the belli gerents is altogether too fine a stroke of Russellism. The Federals are under no necessity to enter our ports to dis pose of ships which may not suit their purposes. They will not be placed under any disability by the regulation. Their own ports are open, and they can sell ships suitable for warfare in British harbours, after dismantling them in their own, or purchase them in England, and equip them else ' where. The Confederate Government aro differently cir cumstanced, and the Foreign Office order is a burden on them alone. Our Ministers have already denied them the right to buy unarmed ships in British dockyards; now they are for bidden to sell ships in British ports that have become peaceful merchantmen. It is Confederate ownership that constitutes the offence 1 It we honestly recognised the rights of the parties as belligerents, we should make no distinction between dismantling or arming a ship at sea, and going through those operations in a port belonging to the country whose flag was carried, The lawyers have been fertile in sophistries to shelter Earl Russell's perfect partiality and will doubtless atempt todefend the now order by some involved ratiocinative process,but the public cannot be mystified about a matter so palpably capable of one construction only. There is yet another trick in this artful Gosett: sentence. rho regulation is to be applicable " for the future." What, then, about the ease of the Georgia? We aro semi-offi cially informed that the notification has been put in this form in order not to bar the " legal rights" of the British owner who purchased that vessel in a British port, from Confederate vendors. It is not at all meant, however, that those rights will be recognised by the Government, and a demand preferred for the restoration of that vessel. The Times is authorised to state that they have "declined to interfere in the case of the steamer Georgia, seized off Lis• bon by the Federal frigate Niagara. It is difficult to under stand what legal rights remain to the owner under these circumstances, The Americans have seized his ship; they have taken it to New York ; they will condemn it on their own principles ; and what remedy will the British purchaser have, now that the Government deny him that protection to which he had a double claim in consequence of the pre cautions he took when applying for a British register ? It will be remembered that Mr. Bates before completing the purchase, wrote to the Custom-house authorities at Livers pool to ascertain whether he would be proceeding legally in buying the vessel, then dismantled and restored to original character—that of an ordinary merchant ship. The collector consulted the Government, and on their being satisfied that the purchase was bona fide, and the vessel to be em ployed in peaceful commetee, 111,:y authorised rho granting a register. The l'oreign-t , fli L !e now turns its back upon all this, and with an effrontery unparalleled oven in Earl Russell's administration, " declines to interfere." The o new order" is intended to make that prostration before the Federal Government m ore completely satisfactory to the oljects of his unw or thy timidity.

From the number of arrivals yesterday and to-day it may now be fairly anticipated that the meeting of the Anode ti.ua in this c;ty will be most successful. Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon nearly 1,500 tickets had been sold—a consi- derably larger number than has hitherto been issued on the day before the proceedings commence. The demand for hotel accommodation and private lodgings has been great, but fortunately for strangers Bath, unlike many other places visited by this association, has this recommendation, that it has always a large number of spacious and elegant apart ments available for almost any number of visitors. Prices have not therefore been excessive, and every possible faci lity has been afforded by the excellent system of registration both for extent of accommodation and price established at the Reception-room. Great interest appears to be attached to the inaugural address of Sir Charles Lyell, the new President. which will be delivered to-morrow evening, and which it is expected will make special reference to the thermal and mineral waters of Bath. _ The sections will commence their proceedings on the fol lowing morning. Of these there are : —A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences B. Chemical Science ; C. Geology; D. Zoology and Botany, including Physiology; E. Geography and Ethnology; F. Economic Science and Statistics ; and G. Mechanical Science, Sections C., E., and F. are likely to prove the most interesting. In C. an interesting paper will be read by Mr Bristow on the Geological Survey. Sir Wm. Logan, director of the Geological Survey of Canada, has brought for inspection by the association a large box of fossils of a much more ancient charac` or than. any that have boon previously discovered, In Section E, presided over by Sir It. Murchison, papers will be read by Captain Spoke, Captain Burton, Sir H. Itawlinson, and M. Khaniktff, the Russian geographer. In Section F, Economic Science and Statislics, several sanitary papers are to be read, among others, by Dr Wilson, on Cheltenham; by Mr A. B. Middleton, on Salisbury; by Dr Symonds, on Clifton ; by Mr Tite, M.P., on the" Health Statistics of Paris in Connection with its Street Improve ments;" and by Mr Samuel Brown upon the " Mortality of Europeans in India." Col. Torrens will read a paper upon the " Conveyance of Title by Registration as applicable to Ireland." Mr Westgarth will bring to the section " Some Statistics of Crime in Australia." Professor Wilson, it is expected, will furnish an account of the statistics of agricultural implements, and Mr Robert Herbert has pro mised one upon the " Statistics of Live Stock." Mr Chet wynd has sent a paper upon " Postal Banks ;" and Mr F.. Purdy has one on " The Quantity and Value of Corn im ported into the United Kingdom since the Repeal of the Corn Laws." Some interesting statistical works which have been sent over for the use of the Section by foreign Governments will be brought under the notice of the mem bersiby the President. Of these may be mentioned " The Statistics of the Russian Empire," by M Troiniski, the Minister in charge of the Statistical Bureau at St. Peters burg; "Statistics of the Kingdom of Italy," by Signor Maestro's Department at Turin; the new sheets of the census of France, transmitted by M. Le Goyt; and a su perbly printed folio of the recent "Census of Spain."

At the conclusion of the visit of the Prince and Princess to Portsmouth dockyard on Monday they honoured the French Vice Consul, the Che valier Van den Bergh, yith their presence at luncheon at his residence, Holland House, Southsea. After luncheon the Prince and Princess embarked in the Imperial twin screw barge La Mouche, paid a short visit to the Excellent gunnery ship and.witnessed some blank practice from her 12 ton guns, and afterwards returned to the Prince Jerome in La Mouche. No intimation had been given of the Prince's intended visit to the authorities, official or otherwise, and the Prince and Princess were therefore received on landing without any of the ceremony or honours usually accorded to their rank.

On Sunday morning, August 23, there occurred a Toronto ono of the most destructive fires with which that city has been visited for a length of time. The fire originated at the Grand Trunk Wharf and Elevator, which were com pletely destroyed, with some 50,000 bushels of grain and 400 barrels of flour. The Globe says—" The Grand Trunk Wharf extended out from the Esplanade between Peter and Brock streets. It was without exception the finest and most substantial wharf in Toronto harbour, and was erected two years ago at a cost of about 25,000 dols. The capacious flour shed, capable of containing several thousand barrels of flour, was put up only a few months ago at a oast of between 5,000 and 6,000 dole. These losses, are, however, but trifling, compared with that of the Elevator. This fine building—one of the best of the kind in the province— was constructed at the same time as the wharf, the whole having been built by Mr Sheddon, who subsequently dis posed of the wharf to the Grand Trunk Railway Company. The Elevator, though known as the Grand Trunk Elevator, was the property of Mr Sheddon. Its actual cost at the time of its erection was 50,000 dole, but it has been recently considerably altered and improved at an additional outlay of several thousand dollars. Fortunately for Mr Sheddon the building will not be a total loss, as he had an insurance of 35,000 dols on it in the following companies :-21,000 dols in the Liverpool and London, 8,000 dols in the North British, 'and 16,000 dols in the Liverpool and Lancashire. The loss sustained by the Grand Trunk Company in the wharf will be covered by the insurance fund of the com pany. In the Elevator at the time of its destruction there were about 45,000 or 50,000 b us h e l s o f grain, divided as follows :--Oats about 35,000, corn about 15,000, wheat about 6,000. This, so far as we could learn, was owned by various shipping firms in this city and elsewhere, and was partially covered by insurance, though to what extent we aro not informed. The following are the names of nd th Ames, e principall s ufferers :—Erwin and Sloan, and Cheney a small wego ; and W. D. Matthews and S. A. Oliver, Toronto. Mr Oliver los t about 5,800 b ushels of oa ts, on which he had, we believe, an insurance of 1 , 208 dole . In the flour shed there barrels, whereas Messrs Gooderh am and Wors ts lost 127 barrels, air W. F. H ow l an d 200, and Mr P. Payland 1 0 . Moat of th e flour, thereare sometimes a s many thousand s . we were informed, was insured, though at very muc h less than its value. The total loss, as nearly as can at present be ascertained, will be as follows :—The Elevator, 50,000 dole, the wharf and flour sheds 30,000 dols, oats about 11,500 dole, corn about 10,500 dols, wheat about 6,001 dole, flour about 2,400 dols—total, 109,400 dols. The total insurance, as far as could be learnt, does not exceed 30,000 dole, so that the actual loss in all will be in round numbers 70,000 dole. Fortunately this heavy loss does not come on one person alone, but is borne by several, though M r Sheddon bears by far the greater portion of it. Th e ca l amity could hardly have happened a t a worse time of the year, so far as Mr Sheddon is concerned. 13e had but a f ew weeks ago comme nced making preparations for the r ecept i on an d storage of this year's grain , so that by the loss of the Eleva tor he will lose the whole trade of the coming fall and winter, it being hardly possible to erect a new Elevator before next spring. a p p r a i r n t m e i e p n a t l , r o e f p t o b r t e s ye llnu ar ev2e6 s e am p ples of beer and of BAD BEEIL—Mr la that laboratory r i a n t otrhye o last t the financial Inlan d P hillips, the materials found in the possession of licensed brewers have been analysed, and of these 20 were foetid to be illicit ; the prohibited ingredients, in 14 samplesl grains of paradise, one of these samples containing, in a dd ition, tobacco ; in two other cocculus indicus was present in large and dangerous quantities; two samples c ontained capsicum ; an d t h e re maining two proto-sulphate of iron. Gendially the pro hibited materials employed in the adulteration of beer are not injurious to health, the object of the fraudu' en t b rewers or retailers of beer being more to increase the bulk of their goods than to render the beer stupefyin— g by the addition of noxious materials. Still, he sass, there can be little doubt that the practice of adulterating beer with poisonous matters, such as tobacco and cocculus indicus, is more prevalent than might be inferred from the sm a ll er num b e r of detections made, at the fraud is difficult to discover unless the offender be ca ught in the act of committing it. Considering, thar.:ore, this circumstance, and the abominable character of the offence, Mr Phillips i s o f opinion that it would be only just to the community to make public tho names of those persons convicted of adding cocculous indicus or other deleterious substances to beer brewed for sale; and he fools no hesitation in stat ing that the two instances of the use of the dangerous drug in question occurred in the neighbourhood of Wirksworth, in Derbyshire, and that many of the detec tions of the use of grains of paradise were also made in the same district. He states also that the experience of many years has led him to the conclusion that the adul teration of beer with drugs, as distinguished from the mere dilution or increasing of the bulk of the article, is more prevalent in the Midland Counties and the West Riding of Yorkshire than, in any other parts of the kingdom, HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which had ranged in August, above 3,400 weekly, declined to 1,352 in the week that ended last Saturday. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age fell from 800 and upwards to 752. The average number of deaths in the 30th week of the 10 years, 1854-63, is, with the excluiion of death from epide mic cholera in 1851, and with a correction for increase of population, 1,211. But the actual number returned for last week exhibits an excess of 140 above the number thus esti mated. Diarrhoea has now perceptibly decreased. It rose to its maximum in the first week in August, when the deaths from it were 286 ; in the last week of that month they were 180, and last week 132, The moan temperature of the air in the first wsek of August was G 5 deg, last week it was Gl-1 deg. Five deaths from scarlatina occurred in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster; four in that of St. John, Mary lebone ; four in that of Tottenham-court-road ; four in Islington West; four in Haggerstone Vest, Tho total number from scarlatina was 73. There were 53 fatal cases of measles, five of which were in Limehonse, 11 in the district of Poplar, in which also there were 10 of typhus; 17 deaths from typhus occurred in Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich. At 5, Storer-street, Mile-end, a sempstress, aged 24 years, died from effusion on the chest, accelerated by overwork and want of necessaries. A painter, aged 54 years, died from fever and cerebral disease, caused by exposure to the sun's heat when at his work. A woman died of rheumatic fever, caused by the damp of a newly-built house, A charwoman died at 111, Tyers-street, Lambeth, on the Bth Sept., at the age of 101 years. Last week the births of 954 boys and 985 girls, in all 1,939 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average number (corrected) was 1852. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.805 in. The reading was 29.55 in. on Sunday, and rose to 29.92 in. on Monday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 61.1 deg, which is 3.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The lowest night temperature was 48.4 deg. on Tuesday. The highest day temperature was 75 . 5 deg. on Thursday, The range of tem perature in the week was therefore 27.1 deg. The mean daily range was 14.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.7 deg, The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76, complete saturation being represented by 100. The humidity was only 60 on Monday, when the wind was in the north-west. It rose to 91 on the following day, when the wind was in the south-west, from which point the wind continued to blow during the remainder of the week. Rain fell to the amount of 0.39 in. A quarter inch fell on Tuesday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 62 deg. 7 min.; that of the lowest was GO deg. 4 min. The births (this return is supplied by the Registrar. , General of Ireland) registered in Dublin during the meek ending the 10th September was 152, and the deaths were 99, in a population of 254,8,8 (in 1861), spread over an area of 3,803 statute acres. The deaths in Vienna as returned by Dr Clatter were 273 in the week ending the 3d of September, when the mean temperature was 58 deg. S min., that of Greenwich having boon GO deg, 3 min. Agriculture and Free Trade. The Marquis of Normanby presided at the dinner given in connection with the 32d annual show of the Whitby Agricultural Society on Wednesday last, and among those who took part in the proceedings and addressed the assembly were the Hon. W. E. Duncombe and Mr Morritt, the Par liamentary representatives for the North Riding of York shire. The speeches were more or lees complimentary, but they were appropriate to the occasion, and had special re ference to the agricultural exhibition and society with which they were associated. In the course of his remarks when returning thanks to the toast of the two members, Mr Duncombe, who formerly was opposed to free trade, acknowledged that agriculture had • benefited, along with the general trade of the country, from our present commercial policy. The hon. member said that he could not but feel that the agricultural societies gene rally of this country had conferred considerable advantages upon the kingdom at large, as they had been the means of bringieg together the best quality and breed of stock and horses to be found anywhere, and they had also infused a spirit of competition and emulation among the agricultural body. These societies, too, wore the cause why so many of those valuable agricultural implements were produced, and which had proved of such great use in the carrying out of fanning operations, and several of which implements were seen in several instances for the first time at these egricul turals gatherings. They were told that in some parts of the country complaints prevailed at the want of farm labourers, but he did not know whether that complaint prevailed in that district. Ile believed that there was a want of labour, and that labour was scarce, and therefore it was fortunate at such a time that science had been carried out in agricul tural affairs, and that they were enabled to make use of those excellent machines whereby economy of labour was secured. Upon a recent occasion in returning thanks for the same toast he said that he thought agriculture was not indebted to any Legislative enactments for the success which it en joyed ; and he believed that all persons present, whatever might be their political opinions, or to whatever profession they might belong, rejoiced in the general prosperity of agriculture and in the increase of the wealth of the country. In speaking of agriculture, he could say that that interest was not jealous of the increased prosperity which had fallen upon the great commercial and trading classes of this coun try. Ho believed that agriculture had derived benefit from that general increase in the trade of the country, and he was of opinion that that increased trade might be attributed to the commercial policy which had recently been carried out. Trade had consequently become unshackled to a great exe tent, some of its burdens had been altogether removed and others had been much relieved; and therefore all the agri cultural interest asked was that the Legislature would apply the same Pystem of relief to the farmer, and endeavour to take away some of those burdens which pressed particularly upon the land. Parliament ought to carry out fairly and fully as respected agriculture the principle which had been established in our commercial system. This was what they asked for, they required nothing more, and ko thought they had a perfect right to ask for such a concession. The pre sent were not occasions for the discussion of party politics, but he thought they might allude to political questions in a quiet way when they related to the welfare of agriculture, and he believed no one who had that interest at heartwould wish to exclude the subject at a meeting of that description. He should endeavour, as he had hitherto done, to promote the best interests of the great community which he repre sented in Parliament, not to look at one interest more than another, his object in the House of Commons being to pro. mote the prosperity of the Yari9 l .4s iaterests of the:country. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. Ths question of the admissibility of Genera Langiewicz as a witness at this trial was reopened by M. Janecki, at the sitting of the sth inst. He pointed out that the ground alleged by the. Court, at the last sitting, for refusing to take the general's evidence—viz., that he is in the same position as the accused—was incorrect. The fact of his having fought against Russia was no evidence of any trea sonable intent against Prussia; and several of the witnesses called by the prosecution, at this very trial, had acknowledged that they had fought against Russia. If any ground existed for Ma pecting him of any treasonable act against Prussia, nothing would have been easier than to claim him from the Austrian authorities, and it would have been the duty of the prosecution to do so. As, however, the Court had rejected General Langie wicz as a witness, he submitted that he be examined in writing, informationis causa, only. The evidence of a gentleman of such high character, and one so thoroughly informed of everything relating to the insurrection, must be especially valuable for the purpose of throwing light on the present matter. M. Holthoff added that the business of the defence would be at an end if a witness was rejected when ever the prosecution accused him of being an insur gent, declaring that it would have prosecuted him if it had thought proper. The Crown prosecutor opposed the motion,but did not prosecute Langiewicz, because he supposed the Austrian Government would do so. As regards the insurgents brought forward as witnesses, they were too illiterate to know the objects of the insurrection. After a sharp and somewhat desultory discussion, the President said the Court would shortly announce its decision. Zaleski, a student, and Michalski, a labourer, were then proposed as witnesses by the defenoe. It ap peared from their evidence that neither of them heard anything of an intention to take Posen from Prussia while they were in the insurgent camp. The decision of the Court respecting General Lan giewicz was then read. It rejected the general's evidence in any 81-,ano whatever. A labourer named Palczewski was next examined. He admitted he had been convicted of theft, and added that he had been with the insurgents and had received three thalers from Z3rawski. He could not, however, point him out among the accused. The accused M. Stiroczytiski was then examined• said he N\ as drawing master in the Posen school. lie denied having belengcd to any com mittee—he could not espial' , how it was his name wan mentioned among Count Dzialynski's me- moranda. r. Matuszewski, tailor's foreman, Was the ramt among the accused, the witnes ses against him being two men, Samolie and Pi zybylski, whom M. Lisieck proved to be untrustworthy. Palczewski was then again brought up to give evidence against NI Roman Pilaski, who, he said, had warned Polish volunteers of the a pproach of Prussian troops. After M. Lent had indignantly declared thIA t pis vitnek Murder and Attempted Suicide. PRESTON, Thursday. Between 5 and G o'clock this morning a dreadful tragedy was perpetrated by a man named William Berry, miller, of 29, Ormskirk-road, in this town. Since Whitsuntide the man has been in a desponding state, partly through business affairs, and to some extent through certain family matters, He seems to have been jealous of his wife, although, it is believed, he had no reason whatever to be so. On Monday, Berry and his wife took lodgings in Ormskirk-road, and their children, two in number, were removed to some of their relatives. Early this morning the woman was heard screaming, and it was subsequently discovered that she had been stabbed in several places about her breast, and that her throat had been cut near the centre. Her wind' ipe ;vas cut completely through ; she . bled very profusely, and died about half an hour after she was found. It seems alto that Berry made nn attempt upon his life. He was found sitting on a bed in his lodgings, with his throat out, and the latest _ _ _ reports are to the effect that he is not likely to su,vive. The following evidence has been prepared by the police, preparatory to the official inquiry, which will be held to- morrow : Edward Leach, of 29, Ormskirk 7 road,_says,—About ha past 5 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning I heard a scream in the room where the deceased and her husband were sleep ing. I immediately got out of bed and went to their room and saw the deceased at the window. Her husband was on the side of the bed, and I seized hold of him. Directly I took hold of him ho made a stab at his own throat with a pocket knife. He made several stabs at his threat. He said, "Let me do it quietly, Ned." Henry Ashworth, a brewer. said,—l was in Bishopgate this (Tuesday) morning, at half-past 5 o'clock, when I heard a woman screaming. I immediately ran into Ormskirk road, where I saw the deceased, and got hold of her. Sho was bleeding from the throat. I put one of my hands to her throat, and placed the other round her waist, and then called for assistance. Soon afterwards I got her into the house. I asked her who had been doing this—cutting her throat. She made an answer and said "My husband." She never afterwards spoke. _ . Matthew Etherington, provision dealer, of 22, Walker street, says—This (Tuesday) morning at half-past 5 I was in Ormskirk-road, when I saw Henry Ashworth, tho last witness, holding the deceased. She was bleeding very pro fusely from the throat. I helped Ashworth to get her into the house. We got two bandages, and placed them around her throat. We afterwards went upstairs, and I got hold of the deceased's husband, George Goodier, of 23, Everton-gardens, says—While I was in Tithe Barn-street at half-past 5 o'clOck this morning I heard cries of " Murder I " I ran up the street, and into Ormskirk-road, and saw the deceased standing at the door of the house No. 29 in that street. She said "Dear me, he is killing more upstairs," I went upstairs with a policeman ; and saw her husband. Police-constable Dilworth deposes—At 530 this morning I was in Lancaster• road. I heard cries of " Police, police, make haste." I immediately went into Orruskirk -road, and found the deceased lying on her side at the door of the house No. 29. I asked where the men was, and some person said upstairs. I went into the room and found him in a stoop ing position, Edward Leach had hold him. I seized the man's arm, and took a pocket knife out of his hand. The knife was covered with blood. Inspector Hornby said—l arrived at the scene of the murder about half-past 5 o'clock, along with Inspecter Wray, I found the deceased lying on the sofa. I imme diately went upstairs. I saw her husband sitting on the bed. His throat was cut. Inspector Wray gave me a handkerchief, and I tied it around the man's throat. Wray and I then sent for doctors, and at 6 o'clock Mr W. 11. Spencer, surgeon, arrived, While I was in the room the deceased's husband said to me, "That's you, liornby ; I know you." I said, " What made you do this, Will?" He answered, "It was through some men being in the house last night." I mentioned the name of a man named Wilkinson, a miller, as being one of them, and he said "No." While we were at the house Mr Superintendent Dunn arrived, and made all necessary inquiries. This morning Berry was visited by Father de Pietro. Ile expressed his sorrow to the rev. gentleman for what he had done, and said that he know he had committed a murder. The deceased, as we have already intimated, was the mother of two children, and she was expected to be shortly confined of a third. HOW SPIDERS FLY.—Although spiders are not provided wings, and consequently ars incapable of flying, in the strict sense of the wor d, y et, by the aid of their silken filaments, numerous species, belonging to va rious genera, are enabled to accomplish distant journeys through the atmosphere. These aerial excursions, which appear to result from an instinctive desire to migrate, are undertaken when the weather is bright and serene, parti cularly in autumn, both by adult and immature individuals, and are effected in the following manner. After climbing to the summits of different objects, they raise themselves still higher by straightening the limbs; then elevating the abdomen by bringing it from the usual horizontal position into one almost perpendicular, they emit from the spin ners a small quantity of viscid fluid, which is drawn out into fine lines by the ascending current, occasioned by the rarefaction of the air contiguous to the heated ground. Against these lines the current of rarefied air impinges, till the animals, feeling themselves acted upon with sufficient force, quit their hold of the oh. jects on which they stand, and mount aloft. . . . The manner in which the lines are carried out from a current of air appears to be this. As a preparatory measure the spin ning manimuloo are brought into close contact, and viscid matter is emitted from the papilla) ; they are then separated by a lateral motion, which extends the viscid matter into fine filaments connecting the papilla) ; on these filaments the current impinges, drawing thom out to a length which ie reaulated by the will of the animal, and on the mammule3 being again brought together, the filaments coalesce and form a compound line.--"Qhn „M,relcwai( s //wary o f Spiders, NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF 'f CASTE."
