MARKETi MONEY AND COMMZECIAL 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 further concessons will continue to be offered, and that before 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 require; and that discounters, on the other hand, 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 8,1 per cent. There were no bullion operations 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 2150,160, notwithstanding the recent payment of the dividends. Annexed are the particulars : Aotivo Circulation .. .£20,958,905 Decrease 274,030 Bullion .. .. 13,146,009 Increase .. .. 143,521 Rest .. 3,273,896 Increase .. 24,411 Fublic Deposits •• •• •• 3 , 723 , 649 Increase .. 449,960 Other Deposits.. 13,897,777 Decrease 200,677 Seven Day and other Bills .. 566,840 Daorease 29,145 Government Securities 9,410,461 Decrease 169,751 Other Securities .. 19,767,497 Decrease 13,261 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 Tree►. 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. Two o,CLocii. 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 k per cent., and Consols for money are 89k a, and 891: for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87k I ; March Exchequer Bills, 4s die. ; ditto June, 14s dis. ; and India 6 per Cents. 105 k k. In the Foreign Market general firmness is ap ; parent, and business is rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 71k ; do. Consolides, 601 I ; Mexican, 27 ; do. New, 25k ; Greek, 221 ; Spanish Passive, 311 ; do. Certificates, 13k 14k ; Portuguese, 46 k ; Italian, 641 ; 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 ss. Great Western, however, have declined ss, and Metropolitan 11 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little or no change. Bask and Miscellaneous Shares exhibit increased firmness.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—THis DAY. THE TRIAL OF MULLER, ut el Muller a O ass N r DAY. ey D seusre wa T s h t e he fr s i a a m l e of ex l‘ c l i e rd d a t y l:is an m d or t n h i e n c g, our T t h w e a r s e crowded. At ton o'clock the Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Baron Martin took their seats on the b,nch. The prosecution was conducted by the Solicitor-General Sergeant Ball an ti ne , M r H annan, M r Beasley, and M ; 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, it The prisoner was placed at the her by the Governor of Newgate, and the trial then proceeded. The first witness called was John Henry Glass, who, in his examination by Mr Gif ford, 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 me if I would buy a watch. Ho showed me a gold ono. 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 wee in pawn. I told him to come the next morning, which he did, and I redeemed the chain for £l. 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 he 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 en 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, tho 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 Amies, 121, Minories, pawnbroker. I recollect on the 12th of July taking a pledge of a gold watch from a man. The chain No. 3 is not the ono. The person pawning gave the name of John Muller. I should not know it again. I advanced £1 10s. The address given was 21, Jowry-street. Cross-examined—lt is very common to supply Christian names. I did so on the occasion 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 Clime 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 me what I gave for it, and I told him 10s 6d. 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 108 6d 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—l 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 the depo &Mon, and was about asking him some question, when The Solicitor-General objected, Baron Martin—The best way will bo to ask whether he did not give a different statement before the magistrate. Sergeant Parry—Did you not say on the occasion I refer no 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 Down's in Long-acre, and gave Ss 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 hoard of it before. I had been occa sionally on the rank during the time, but I never hoard of it. I don't frequent public houses, but I 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.h 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—Yee. Sergeant Parry—ln your examination before the coroner did you not say your employer, Mr Perkins, was sold up. witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—You now say sold off. Is that another mistake ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—How long have you been a cabman ? Witness—Four years. Sergeant Parry—Have you been anything else ? Witness—Yes, in a training stable; that's a long time ago. Sergeant Parry—What else have you been doing ? Witness—l have occasionally been in the fly buainess. I have driven for the London General Omnibus Company. Sergeant Parry—Have you ever been a gentleman's coachman ? Witness—No. Sergeant Parry—Do you know Mr Linklater ? Witness—Yes, but I never drove for him. Sergeant Parry—Have you ever been insolvent or bPnk rupt ? Witness—No. Sergeant Parry—Have you never been in business at Brixton ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—Have you ever said that when you got the reward you would pay your debts? Witness—No, Sergeant Parry—Do you expect the reward ? Witness—l leave that to the country. It they are stabi l' xl I have done my duty, I won't say I don't expect a part Sergeant Parry—Havo you never said it you hid kept your mouth longer Phut you would have got a reward of £500? Witness—No. Sergeant Parry—Have you ever been convicted ? Witness—Yes. Sergeant !'arty—What for ? Witness—For a spree, and absconding from driving a coach. I had 21 days for it. Sergeant Parry—Were you at Norwich in 1851? Witness--No. Sergeant Parry—re careful. Yr)ur nama is Jonathan Mathews ? Witness—l was there in 185). I was a prisoner there for 21 days. Sergeant Parry—Were ycu tried by a jury" Witness—Yes. Sergeant Parry—l never heard of a jury trying a man for a spree. Were you convicted for stealing a posting 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 rank at Paddington, and while the horse was drinking I saw a bill there on the wall, and I asked the Waterman how high be thought I was. Sergeant Parry —I object to that. The Solicitor - General —You shall have the whole of the conversation. Lord Chief B srcn—You cannot, brother Parry, have a portion of a conversation taken down in the notes. Sergeant Parry—l don't sant 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 PO rules, Solicitor-Ganeral (to witness) —Repeat the whole of the conversation. Witness— I went home and 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'uced 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 9th 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 !joint 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 orter to speak with greater correctness. The deposition of Mathowr, takes before 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 he did not know where he was or what ho 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. Ile used to come to our house. I was present when the conversation took place about the hat. I know ray husband bought one at Crawford-strEet. It was turned up at the side rather more than my husband'', 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 rue ; he said he had come to wish us good-bye previous to going to New York. He remained three or four hours. He said he was going out in the service of Mr Hodgkinson, and that he was to get £l6O a year, Ho told me he had met with an accident on Thursday— that a letter -cart had run over hie foot. During the time he was with us he showed me a chain, which he took off the button-hole cf his waistcoat. I took it, 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 gavo 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 rin g on ; h e t o ld me hi s father had sent it him from Germany, He wished us good bye and went away. Cross-examined by Sergeant Parry—My husband Bret saw the box on the Tuesday morning. Muller never said a _ _ word about Mr Death to me. I no; 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, "bow 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 occasionally to buy a penny paper, which ho would read on the boa. 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 Ballantine—My husband would be out with his cab for hours attar I was in bed. At the suggestion of a juror Mrs Repsch was recalled and asked if she recollected the day Muller first brought the hat she had spoken of to her house, to which she replied she could not. Mr Repack recalled, and in answer to a question front the learned Judge, he said ho was in the habit of seeing Muller on week-days, but that he did not see him tor three or four Sundays previous to the murder. Joseph Hemequort, examined by Mr GitTard, 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 ho 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 25e.; 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 racter. Ile 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. 6d. 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 moan 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—Were did it comp 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 Lought them, It is a French hat. The Solicitor-General—Lo o k at that hat; is it an 83 6d or 108 6d hat ? Sergeant Parry—Ask him what would bo the cost of such a hat. Tho Solicitor•Genoral—Very well; answer that question. Witness—About 8s 6d or 10s 6d; I cannot say which. Inspector Tiddy,examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l pro duce the jeweller's box, 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 him on Wednesday morning, the 13th of July, about 11 o'clock. He asked me the price of the passage to New York. I told him £l. Ho asked when the ship sailed, and I said "To-morrow." He then went away, and came back about 2 o'clock, and said, " come to pay the fare." He paid the £l, 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 suck 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, &o, There were about four Germans going as passengers in the Victoria. We have a German porter, and he would answer any question in my absence. The learned Sergeant askod 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 Docke—l recollect seeing the prisoner some days previous to his paying his passugo on the Wednesday. 1 am not quite positive, but I have some recollection of seeing him at our office on Monday, I got there abuut 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 roe. The prisoner at the bar was on board. He was called to the after part of the ship by the captain. I took hold of his arm, and he said, " What's the reatter 1' Tierman said, "You are charged with the murder of Mr Briggs," and I followed it up saying " Yes, on the North London Railway, between Hackney Wick and Bow, on the 9[h of July." Prisoner, I think, said "I never was on the lino," but I don't know whether he said ho never waa on the line that night or that he never was on the lino at all. I then told hint I was a policeman, and he vas taken below. Tiroman searched biro.. A key was taken from his waistcoat pocket. I asked him what it belonged to, and he replied his box. 1 asked him where it was, and ho 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. I unlocked the box, and in the corner I found the watch (troducetl) in a piece of leather, Ae I `tad 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 he 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 aro there I must have said so. In speaking of the prisoner's shins I have said they were old ones. I should have said they were soiled ones. They ap peared to have been wurn 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 you stated that you have lost a sing on board the ship.' He said, " Yes, but it must have been stolen from me." I said, " Tell me what sort of a one it is, and I will try to have it found." He said, "It is a gold ono with a plain white stone 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. Tho 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'reshment. On the re-assembling of the court, Inspector Tanner was cross-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 lie in money when I searched him. He did not tell mo 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 ho had ex changed the waistcoat for a little leather reticule. got the garment back again. Re-examined—The prisoner had on a very old waistcoat when I arrested him. He wore the waistcoat ho 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 examined. Mr Thomas James Briggs, son of the murdered gentle man (examined IT Mr Hannan), said—The last time I saw my father alive to speak to him was on the 7th 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-square. Ho 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 Titmarsb, 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 112. 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 tissue 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 an 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, ho would use gum and then put it on a block and profs 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 bind of the article. That is the portion that has been cut from the hat I now hold in my hand. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. Croes-examined by Sergeant Parry—lt is not an unusual thing to put tissue-paper underneath the lining of a hat that is too easy. I know nothing of a second-hand trade in hats. My hats might get into the hands of seoondbhand dealers, as servants sometimes sell their masters' hats. The two second-hand hats now submitted to ray inspection were originally made by me. They are very old affairs. One of them is, perhaps, about 7 years old. Mr Briggs generally had a new hat once a year; he was a very careful wearer. Some more second-hand hats wore here shown to the witness, and he identified them all as being manufactured by him. Re•examined--Tho hat, cut down, is a superfine hat, and cost one guinea. Thoso submitted to we aro some of second rato Quality, Sergeant Parry—Quite so; my object is only to show that Mr Diganco's hats got into the second-hand trade. Frederick William Thorn, a hat-maker—l manufacture hats for Mr Diganco. The ono placed in my hand is my manufacture. It bears my private mark. A portion 01 it has been cut away since it lest my hands, I made it for Mr Digance. I have known instances in which hats have been cut down, but then a hatter would not use paste, as in this instance. Mine are first-class hate. I have different marks for each of my customers. I can't say how many hats I make in a year for Mr Digance. They would amount to many gross. - -- Sergeant Tanner recalled- e -I tried the hat found in the railway carriage on Muller's head, and found it fitted Mrs Blythe recalled—Th e l ast tfme I saw the coat 'with a velvet collar was on Thursday, the 14th of July. Sergeant Parry then rose to address the jury for the prisoner. He said it now became his duty to address them in the performance of his very onerous and responsible duty, and he did so in the fi rm and unshaken convic tionthat the prisoner would hav e a f a i r an d i mpar ti a l t r i a l. The conduct of a certain portion of the press in publishing articles the tenor of which would leave it to be believed that there was no doubt of the Prisoner's guilt, he could not but think was highly objectionable and unfair, because those articles were read, and exerted a prejudice which it was nearly impossible to surmount. lie implored them, if they had read any of those articles, to cast from them any impres sion they might have made; and after that appeal he should pass to the performance of his task. He was not going to imitate others who have damaged themselves, damaged their clients, and damaged the profession to which they belonged by making a solemn declaration as to the innocence of the parties for whom they wore interested, If he was to make a solemn as-everation that the young man was innocent of the charge of which he was accused, they (the jury) wo uld treat it as it deserved, and supposing his learned friend the Solicitor-General was to make a solemn declaration that the prisoner was guilty, they would treat that declaration as they would his asseveration. He felt that the evidence that had been placed before them to convict the prisoner of the crime with which ho stood charged, had altogether failed, and when they heard the evidence he should lay before them; he felt they would not have a doubt about his being innocent of so heinous a crime as that of murder. His learned friend had laid great stress on the evidence relative to the hat. He seemed to think that it he could but prove the hat found on Muller to be that of Mr Briggs', it would be conclusive evidence against the prisoner, but that was but his theory; therefore, before they (the jury) could be of the same opinion, they must be so free from doubt that not the shadow of any uncertainty remained in their minds. The evidence that seemed to press hardly against the prisoner was that of Mrs Repsch, but it did seem exceedingly extraordinary that Muller's hat should bo the one that seemed to have such intense curiosity about it. It seemed to him most extraor dinary; but taken for what it was worth, he did not think it was of a nature to make a deep impression upon the minds of sensible men. With respect to the witness Mathews, it had been thought that in defending Muller he should attempt to involve Mathews in the murder; but such a thought never for a single moment entered his mind. The real perpetrator of the murder was known by but One, to whom all hearts aro open, and from whom no secrets are hid. Was it likely, therefore, that he, with his finite knowledge, should attempt to fix that crime upon such a person as Mathews. What appeared to him to be most extraordinary is that Mathews should have purchased two of the hats made with that peculiar lining, and of which only one other was in existence. Why should not the hat found in the railway carriage ho that of Mathews, but by that ho did not mean to imply that it was on his head dur ing the murder. They had it from him that ho had loft his old hat at Mr Downs's; was it, therefore, an impossi bility for that hat t) get into the hands of second-hand dealers ? lie thought not. If that should be so, and there was nothing to disprove such a surmise, it was just possible that it might have been on the head of the mur derer of the 9th of July, but certainly it would not do lightly to assume that the hat was Muller's. Mathews had told a peculiar story about the manner in which he became acquainted with the prisoner —did they believe him ? Did they believe that he, a cabman, in constant attendance at the railway stations, cabs-stands, and, by his own admis• skin, public houses, should remain in perfect ignorance of a murder, which had caused a thrill to pass through the country, of the most appalling nature? He did not think they would hastily commit themselves to Matthews' evi• deuce. It was surrounded by the greatest doubt, and therefore he felt certain they would weigh well every parti cle of it beton, they acted on it to the prejudice of the pri soner. There might be certain suspicions about the hat being Muller's, but their suspicion would not do. The ownership of that hat must be brought hone clearly and unmistakably—totally devoid of doubt and uncertainty, Mr Digance, with respect to the hat found in Muller's box, could not speak positively even to that. He said in hie evidence "1 will net undertake to otter Unit I bold teat hat to Mr Briggs. I cannot swear to it sir ce it has been cut down." And would they, the jury, by their verdict• say that it was. He thought, as calm and reasuneble men, they would not. 'What evidence was there to show that Muller did not take two bats with him to America? Was it clear that he did not ? If so, he should like to have that evidence pointed out to him, because he would fairly own it had escaped him. With respect to the possession of the watch, where was a place more fitted for the disposal of stolen property than the quay or dock from which an emi grant ship was about to start ? Neither did it appear very extraordinary that when a person is suddenly accused of being in the possession of stolen property he should at first deny it; and, having purchased the watch tinder peculiar circumstances, it was to be expected that a person of Muller's boastful disposition should assume a confidence which was not consistent with truth. With respect to the chain, was it likely that Muller would go to Mr Death's with a chain which had but 24 hours before been taken from the body of a murdered man ? Was it likely that a sane man w, uld do such a thing ? Certainly not. Muller, without the slightest suspicion, having purchased the chain as he had the watch, wished for something more taking to the eye, and this would account for the open manner in which he went to Mr Death'a. It was a very unfair in sinu Alen of his friend Mr Giffard to infer that Muller car ried stones in a parcel with which he intended to sink his bloody clothes when the vessel was at sea. Why, the bundle was left for 24 hours in the possession of a third party. The prisoner was not so completely without funds as had been implied, because one of the witnesses (Han) swore that previous to the 9th of July he saw him with a cons:t derable sum of money in his possession. There was another circumstance which he thought would carry conviction to their minds that the prisoner was not the man who com mitted such a diabolical murder. Mr Brim was a gentle man of about 12st 81b, and standing 5 feet 9 inches; was it probable that he could have been overcome by such a snipt of a man as the prisoner ? Hp did not think thee it was possible, and he thought the jury, as men of common sense would be of the same opinion. The murderf in his mind, was not the result of sudden impulse. On th, contrary, he thought it was a most premeditated laud dee liberetely arranged affair. In evidence he should show beyond the possibility of doubt, that there were two men in the carriage in which the late Mr Briggs travelled. But when his learned friend said the prisoner must have sud denly seized the stick of Mr Briggs and beat him about the head, and having stolen his watch, threw the body out of the carriage, why it was ridiculous to suppose such a thing. The learned sergeant said he should call Mr Leigh, who saw persons with Mr Briggs in the carriage, at Bow, and that he went on Saturday night, the 9th of July, at nine o'clock, to visit a young woman named Eldred, whom he knew, and who resided at Stanley Cottage, James-street, Vassal-road, Brixton. If the jury believed this evidence it would enable them to relieve the prisoner from the conse quences to which he stood exposed. lie should also cati an omnibus driver, who remembers that at 7 minutes to 10 o'clock on Saturday night, three or four months ago, a man got into the omnibus, who had a carpet slipper on one foot. It was right to say that the omni bus driver could not fix the date, nor could he recognize Muller, whom he had seen in prison. The fact that the man would not pledge himself to the pre cise day, and that he would not swear to Muller, showed that he was the witness of truth. Every effort had been made to find the person frcm whom Muller purchased the hat, bnt he regretted that those efforts had not been at.• tended with success. The learned seargeant comments upon the fact that no marks of blood had been found upon Muller, while it was evident that the assailants of Mr Briggs in so severe a struggle must have been covered with blood, and concludes by ex pressing a hope that in thus bringing the facts before the jury, he had properly performed his duty. He reminded them that if the case had been clear to their minds, they ought to return a verdict of not guilty. In such a case as this, where the life of a fellow -creature was impending, the utmost care and caution ought to be exer. cised by Christian men. At this stage, 10 minutes to 4, the Court adjourned unti 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,This Day. NEWMARKET RACES—Tins DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) AUDLEY END STAKES.

GENERAL GARIBALDI. A report was brought up from the City Lands Committeo for payment of the expenses, amounting to £2OB 93 sd, in. curred upon the presentation of the honorary freedom of the City, and unanimously agreed to. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. A report was brought np "on the reference of the 19th May last, to consider their report relative to the expenditure incurred by the Commissioners of Sewers during 1862 and 1863, in effecting certain street improvements, and re commending that £I,OOQ be contributed in respect of the improvements in Bull-and-Mouth -street, Paternoster-row, and Upper Thames -street." The consideration of the report was deferred. A report was brought up by the same committee " of pro ceedings under the reference of May 21, 1363, on the peti tions of owners and others interested in property in Fen 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 he discharged." In asking the Court to discharge this reference, Deputy FRY said ho did not doubt that if the improvements could have been made as originally intended it would be a very good thing for the City and the public at large, but the finances of the corporation were not in such a flourishing condition as some people might suppose; at all events, they were not prepared to lay mat the very large sum, estimated at £BO,OOO, required to carry out these works. In the first instance the promoters of the scheme had agreed to deposit £lOO,OOO to carry out the works, but they had since altered their mind, and had declined to deposit the money, and the Corporation did not feel themselves justified in laying out such a very large sum. He therefore asked that the reference might be discharged. Mr STEWART opposed the motion, saying the City could afford to make the street themselves without any support ; and he argued that, if continued in a line with Cannon street, the now street would be of the greatest possible ser vice to the City. Alderman IIALt certainly hoped the street as originally prcjected would be carried out. Alderman PHILLIPS agreed with Mr Deputy Fry that, although it would be an undoubted improvement, the Cor poration could not of itself affird to go to the expense which it would necessarily vutail. Mr L. TAYLOR said there appeared to be a inisundcr_ standing on this subject by Alderman lisle, as, altlicugla Mr Mason had in the first instance agreed to deposit 1.0,.,i2e0 iu the bank on behalf o f th e Ci ty, h e had since rclut4ed to ratify his promise, so that it this street was tilt it must be wholly at the expense of the Corporation. Mr Deputy FRY said that while the Corporation of the city of London had yearly to pay ii 7,000 for justice in the &tape of gaols and prisoners, they v. - old be quite unable to mane any public improvements of any consequence; and it was to be hoped that a rate would be levied on the diff.ffent citizens and on the large buildings, that a rate equal to the eunnty rate might be levied to pay th,:se expenses, in which case the Ci y would be able to make verygreat improvements. Alter somediaeus;iea the reference was discharged, and the subject dropped.
