The Murder and Piracy on the High seas, BOW-STREET—(Tuts DAY). This morning the prisoners John Lyons, Barcelia la Santos, Morato Durano, and Francisco Blanco, Manilla men, Frank Powell, a Spaniard, Marco Varto, a native of the lonian Islands, Marcelliano, a Greek, Miguel Lopez, alias Joseph Chancez, Malay, George Carlos, and John Williams, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. Mr. Welsby, from the Treasury, prosecuted, and Mr. Board, instructed by the Spanish Consul, appeared for all the prisoners. Chevalier J. de Schaeffer, director of the Austrian Con sulate in London, appeared to watch the case on the part of the Austrian Government, with a view of transmitting a report of the proceedings as affecting Powell, who was said to be a deserter from an Austrian ship. The first witness examined this morning was Frank Candereau,:who said—l am a native of Bordeaux. I shipped on board the Flowery Land in London. I slept in the house on deck with Anderson and Early. I don't recollect the day the captain was killed, but 1 know he was murdered. Before that took place Frank Powell told me the others said they intended to kill the captain. Ho did nut mention names. He only said " they." This was about 12 days before the murder. He did not say anything else. I did not ask any questions. I told the captain the same day what Powell had said. Before that time the captain had not to his knowledge found fault with the men. When I told the captain what Powell had said, he merely said "No, No." I recollect being woke up by the boy Early and the carpen ter the morning the murder was committed, b tween three and four o'clock. They were both crying. I was awoke to take the wheel. I went, but before doing so I asked if it was four o'clock. Whilst I was at the helm I saw capstan bars in the hands of some of the prisoners, but as it was scarcely day I can't positively name them. I should say there were about seven or eight of them. I asked what was the matter, when they said the bodies of the captain's brother and the second mate were in the sea. I asked after the captain, and they showed me him, dead, in the cabin. Frank Powell was the man who did this by directing me to look through the skylight. He said, " See, the captain's rdead, there, lying on the floor." Frank Powell also told me about the death of the captain's brother and the first mate. When I looked through the skylight I saw the captain dead. I did not observe any weapon in Frank Powell's hand. When I went into the cabin at daylight I saw the captains body wrapped in canvass. The prisoners forced me to assist in hauling up the dead body. Marco Varta did this, He said " Lend a hand to throw him into the water, and take care of yourselves." All the crew were in the cabin at the time, 1 did not see any of them with weapons in their hands. Three or four helped me to haul the captain's body up, but I don't recollect their names. The cabin was full of blood. At daylight the cabin was cleared, and then I saw the men break open the chests. I saw two watches—one belonged to the captain, the other to the mate. I went down into the cabin in consequence of being called to take my share of the money. The whole crew was present at the time. If the money had been good we should have received £4. It was bad money. Some days after this, Barcelia la Santos was in the cabin, sharpening his knife, He said, " This knife will serve you as well as it did the captain." Frank Powell said nothing to me about being killed. I recollect the sinking of the ship—it was about two o'clock in the morning. Durano, Francisco Blanco, Chancez, and Lyons were on board the ship when we got in the boat to leave her. The lamptrimmer was in the boat with me, but the Spaniards said to him, " Come back on board." After he got on board I heard him cry out, " Finish quickly." [Considerable difficulty was here encountered to translate the precise meaning of the witness's reply to Mr. Welsby's question, but the two words taken were as near as it was possible to render the reply in English.] After we were in the boat I saw the cook, just before the ship went dawn, go up the rigging. I heard him cry, "Oh, oh," as the water covered him when the ship sunk. I never saw the cook or the lamp-trimmer after the ship sunk. After the ship was down I saw the steward swim ming in the water. lie came up to the boat in which I was and tried to get in, but did not succeed. Before the ship went down the other sailors on board said in Spanish, which I understand, "Take a cap stan bar and kill him. Marcellino, Durano, Francesco Blanco, and John Lyons were on ,board when this was said. Barcelia, who was in the boat, upon this took a cap stan bar, and called out to the steward, "Come on, come on." He was too far off the boat, and then Barcelia called out for Lyons to assist him. 1 heard the steward call out for assistance for about half an hour after he was in the water, but I never saw him again. I recollect getting on shore in about two days after we went to Rocha. We met some Frenchmen, and then I learned there were some per sons up the country who spoke English. I told this to the second mate, Taffer, and we went in quest of them. After we had walked about three miles we met a man named Ramos, and having explainei what had taken place to Ramos, we went back to Rocha, from thence we went to Monte Video, and afterwards before the naval court where we were examined. Two or three days before we left the ship the steward showed me two stabs—one on the arm, and the other on his side—which had been inflicted on him by Marco Varto. The night before we went ashore Frank Powell said to the second mate, the carpenter, and me, in Spanish, " Take care they don't kill you to-night before you go ashore. All is not going well." When I was at Rocha, sleeping at a Frenchman's house, Lyons came to me, and presenting a pistol at me, said, "Be off quick," meaning that I was to run away. Mr. Beard said, on the part of the prisoners, excepting Frank Powell, he should reserve his defence. Powell was asked if he understood the evidence of Can dereau, and whether he wished to ask the witness any ques tion ? The prisoner said he had nothing to say, excepting that he did not recollect telling the witness about the intention of the crew to kill the captain. Michael Andersen, a Dane, was next examined. He said —I was carpenter on board the Flowery Land, and shipped in London. After we began the voyage 1 heard the captain say he did not like the crew because they could not do their duty. I have seen the captain strike the ccok, the steward, the lamp trimmer, and Marco Varto with his open hand. He did not hurt them. He said to them, " You are come on board my ship to do your work end you can't do a splice, and when you arrive in China you expect to be paid." I have seen the first mate strike Barcelia with a rope's end, but not to hurt him. I recollect the morning when the captain was killed. About -2 o'clock the boy Early woke mo up. I heard no noise at the time. I went on deck. When I got there I found the chief mato lying at the foot of the steps leading to the poop. His lace was towards the deck. I asked him if I should help him, and he replied, " Help me to my cabin." He told me one of his arms was broken I got him up to the poop. It was then light enough to see. His face was broke all to pieces, and his nose smashed He told me to go to the captain. As I was going one of the prisoners knocked me down with a handspike. I can net tell who it was, but Marcelino told me that it was he who did it. Mr. Henry—Did Marcellino speak in English ? Witness—He said (making signs at the time), me strike you. Examinat;on continued—When I was struck I fell from the poop to the deck. I afterwards got into my berth. I was called up about half-past 5 the same morning. Blood then covered the deck, and it was all over the steps of the poop. Marco Vartol Francisco Blanco, and the French • man, with others, pulled something up the cabin stairs, and threw it overboard. I left my berth in consequence of having been called on deck by George Carlos. It was then I first saw the blood. I can't recollect anything Carlos said. But some of the pri soners told him they had thrown the first mate overboard. While I was in my birth I heard some one talking about killing the captain. I was too much hurt to get out to see who it was. Marco Varta, tieorge Carlos, Durano, and two or three others were amongst them, I am certain. Francis Blanco called out to me to assist pulling the rope which was round the captain's body. There was blood upon the rope and I refused to touch it. I went towards the capstan and there remained. I could see from that place that it was a dead body. As they heaved the body over board Francisco Blanco said, "There goes the captain, ho won't call us sons of bitches any more. I was afterwards called down into the cabin, but I cannot say who called. When I got down I saw the second mate and all the pri soners. The sofa, chars, and other things were covered with blood. Some the prisoners were sitting, others standing. They had been drinking something. I heard them talking about money. They said they would have the second mate to share the gold, Marco Varto said it was to be divided into eight parts. Lyons and some of the others said they should all share alike. The money was finally divided into 17 parts. Some chests were then broken open. Marco Varto ordered me to break open one, It was full of shoes. All took what they liked. I was ordered to take some ; I did so. I took a pair of canvas shoes and three pair of women's shoes. I left them aboard the ship. I broke off the lock of the carpenter's chest and threw it into the sea. I recollect speaking a brig. Some of the Spaniards were sitting on the fore hatch eating. They were conversing together. Durand, Marceline, and Lyons were there, I cannot recollect the names of the other two. They appeared to be quarrelling, I judge by the signs they made that they could not agree. I could only understand two words, they were "second mate" and " carpentero." I afterwards heard Lyons say:in English, "If you like to kill them, you can do it; I don't like it." Lyons afterwards told me to look out for myself, and do all that the prisoners ordered mo if I wanted to go free. I recollect some of the prisoners coming into my berth and sharpening some knives on the wotstono. They were Barcelio and Marco Varta. While they were doing so, Marco Varta said it would not be long before they killed me. Bascelio heard him. They also said they would kill the Frenchman. I recollect one of the prisoners com plaining of the steward taking something, and I taw Marco Varta cut him with a knife—it was on deck. Marco Varta afterwards came snto my room and said he had killed 16 men before. I recollect sighting the land, and heard ono of the prisoners finding fault with the second mate for not telling them they were so near shore, Orders were then given t 3 me to have my tools ready, and also some candles and matches, to make holes in the ship. Lyons told me to do so; but George Carlos was the first to give the orders. All the prisoners were present when this was done. A fortnight before this I was told I should have to scuttle the ship, but I cannot say by whom. I made some plugs to fit the holes I was to make, because I was afraid they were going to leave me alone in the ship, and if they did so I should have the plugs ready to fill up the holes when they left. On the day I was ordered to get my tools ready, something wee said about its being too early; but between 10 and 11 o'clock the same night Lyons, George Carlos, Marceline, and Banana, and two others came to me and gave m© orders to go down into the hold. They all went down with me and told me to bore holes in the ship. They were a•caed with knives and a sling shot (a stick with a ball at the end of it.) I bored eight holes with a two-inch auger. Four forward and four aft. I did it beisg in fear of my life, We all then returned to the deck. "Wl.en there Lyons said we were to jump quickly into the boat. He said in English, "Carpenter, now, quick into the 3oat." I did so. I saw the small boat a little distance from the ship. The second mate, the cook, steward, Frank Powell, Early, and, I expect, the lamp-trimmer, as there were six in each boat. I heard some one sing out from the ship for the boat to return. All were called from th 3 boat but Frank Powell and the steward. The latter woull not go on deck. They sang out a many times for the steward to come up, but he refused. Lyons, lam certain, was one who did so, but I cannot say who else. I left the boat, and then I saw bottles thrown at the steward. They s•,ruck him on the head. He at last jumped overboard He took the rud der of the boat with him. I afterwards heard him for upwards of half en hour singing out to Lyons to help him. I dont know what Lyons said. The last on board were Lyons, Lopez, and Francisco Blanco, bat I cannot recollect the rest. TLe ship went down about five minutes after we left it. I could not see the cook, but I heard him scream out "Oh" as the water covered the vessel. On the afternoon before the ship was scuttled, Lyons told me to make fast all the things that would float with big nails. I used the smallest I had, because if anybody was left behind on board of her she might rise as quick as possible. I cut the lashing of the spars. Lopez said, while this was being clone. if the steamer saw them the best thing they could da was to jump overboard. After I arrived at Rocha I worked as a carpenter until tho prisoners were captured. Mr. Beard, on the part of the prisoners, said he should reserve his questions for the present. Powell said he had no questions to put. Mr. Welsby said that was all the evidence he had to offer. With respect to Williams, he could not put his finger on anything that could connect him us a consenting party to the murders that had been committed, and Frank Powell, he thought, was also a non-consenting party to the murders, or he would not have told what he did. Mr. Henry quite agreed in that. Mr. Webby-:-But with respect to the others, he should ask for the committal of all the other prisoners upon the full charge of murder, piracy, and wilful destruction of the ship. William and Frank Powell he should therefore withdraw from prosecuting on any charge. Mr. Henry said he entirely agreed in that course, after having paid the utmost attention to the evidence. Williams and Frank Powell were then discharged, and the other eight prisoners were fully committed for trial on all the charges. Williams and Powell have volunteered to state all they know relative to the diabolical murders. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST LONDON BETTING-FRIDAY.

WESTMINSTER: THE FRAUDULENT AND DECEPTIVE USE Or EMINENT NAMES KNOWN IN TRADE.-Mr. Lewis, senior (of Ely place), came into the court to request process to be issued under the following circumstances : Mr. Lewis said that this was the first application under an act of Parliament of last session, and which did not come into operation until the Ist inst. It was most im portant for the interests of manufacture and for the protec tion of the public against fraud. In this instance the com plaining parties were Messrs. Collard and Collard, the emi nent pianoforte makers, whose name had been fraudulently and deceptively used. An advertisement had proclaimed " that a very fine instrument of the Messrs. Collard, manufactured expressly for a professional lady, at a large cost, with all the last and greatest improvements, was to be disposed of by a widow lady, who was driven by pecu niary distress to dispose of it for £25." This was a perfect fraud, for although to the casual observer the instrument would appear to be from Collard and Collard, it was not. Their names were largely inscribed upon it, but above it in an obscure place, unseen without the removal of some thing, was some sentences or names, with the addition of " from," and then followed Messrs Collard and Collard. Under the new Act of Parliament it was an offsnce to sell, utter, or expose for sale, or for any purpose of trade or manufacture, any chattels or articles, make any forged or counterfeit trademark, or with the trademark of any other person, applied, or used falsely, or wrongfully. and the penalty was equal to the value of the article, and a sum not exceeding £5. The Messrs. Collard had instructed him to proceed in this matter, so prejudical to their reputation, and gladly availed themselves of the statutes passed for the protection of the bona fide manufacturers. Mr. Selfe inquired whether Mr. Lewis bad proof that the offence had been committed since the 31st of December, 1863 ? Mr. Lewis replied that he had, and said ho should, with a view of bringing the offender to punishment, proceed under two different sections of the aot. The summonses were granted. THAMES. SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE.—Catherine Duggan, one of those infamous women who frequent Ratcliff-highway and vicinity ostensibly for the purpose of selling oranges and fruit, but in reality to plunder &tilers and others, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with assaulting Mrs. Harriet Thackeray, a very respectable married woman. The complainant said she was passing the corner of Well street and Cable-street, near the Sailors' Home, last night, and was met by the prisoner, who put her arms round her neck, pressed her against a wall, and kicked her several times, while another woman, a friend of the prisoner, tore her bonnet off, and flung it into the road. Both women used very foul language. Mr. Partridge— What was the cause of this ? Witness—l don't know indeed. She is a stranger to me, Th© prisoner set up an infamous defence which the com plainant said was quite untrue, and the policeman who had charge of the case said the prisoner was drunk and very dis orderly last night. Geraphty, a police sergeant, said the prisoner was one of the most infamous women in the district—an orange girl. The prisoner—l don't go about with oranges now. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had committed a most unprovoked assaalt on a respectable woman, and ha fined her 10s., and in default of payment seven days' imprison ment. GRAVE CHARGE AGAINST AN UNDERTAKER,—Thos. Tadman was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a glass decanter, emblazoned with the word " Sherry," and valued at 10s. 6d., the property of Mr. Jas. Everafield, landlord of the Duke of York, in High-street, Shadwell. On Christmas-eve the prosecutor had a sherry decanter in his possession, It was full of wine. He missed it the next morning, and gave information to the police. Last night, Sergeant Dillon, 19 K, found the decanter in a cup board behind the prisoner's shop. The prisoner told Dillon he picked up the decanter outside his father's shop two or three nights after Christmas, and did not know to whom it belonged. He now repeated that statement, and said he was a respectable undertaker and worked very hard for his living. While he was making his defence an injudicious friend handed the prisoner's card ab out among the solicitors at the table in front of the bench. None of them seemed disposed to give the prisoner an order, and handed the card to our re porter. The inscription on the card was as follows : " Thomas Tadman, furnishing undertaker, 32, St. James place, Buck •road, Shadwell, funerals performed on the most reasonable terms. Orders by post promptly attended to." Mr. Partridge said he did not believe the prisoner's de fence. This was a grave charge. It was not unlikely that the prisoner should pick up the large decanter full of sherry in the public street. The prisoner had been in the practice of frequenting the Duke of York occasionally, and was in the house a week ago, and knew the bottle of sherry was lost. He fined the prisoner 40s. for unlawful posses sion of the decanter. The fine was paid. The new magistrate, Mr. John Paget, of the Northern Circuit and Liverpool Sessions, who was called to the bar in 1838, and has had great experience in criminal law, was on the bench with Mr. Woolrych yesterday, and again this day with Mr, Partridge. Mr. Paget will commence his magisterial duties at this Court on Monday next, the 18th instant. MARR - RTS—This Day. GARDEN. supply of vegetables at our to advance in prices was not ruit was steady.

Shocking Murder and Highway Robbery at Hitchin, On Monday night the body of a man was found 'in a lonely spot at the bottom of Preston-hill, in the parish of Hitchin ; it was lying in a pool of blood, and had several frightful wounds on the head. On being conveyed to a surgeon's, and afterwards to the infirmary, the body had some signs of vitality, but these soon ceased. An inquest was held on Tuesday, when the evidence disclosed the following facts. The deceased, Mr. Edward Foreman, was a well-known and much respected young man of Charlton, near llitchin, and had very recently suc ceeded to the business of a deceased uncle, a miller at Charlton. and resided at the mill. On Monday last he was at Hitchiu in excellent health and spirits, and was making arrangements about his re cently-acquired property, and was to have completed a life assurance on the following day, He returned home to Charlton, and had dined with his wife and family. At about three o'clock he started on a jour ney to collect some accounts in the villages; he drove a mule and light cart, which he was accustomed to do, and he was known to have taken with him about four pounds in money in a canvas puree. It was also proved that he received about £6 or £7 more on hi journey, and had paid away only a few shil lings. He had also a heavy whip with him. He was last seen alive at a public-house about three miles from his residence. The landlord, Mr. Buek, was intimate with the deceased, and saw him leave his house cheerful and well, at about six o'clock in the evening, saying he intended driving home by way of the bottom road to save two hills. A little after seven o'clock the same night deceased's mule and cart were found near Charlton, one of the reins being fastened to the ring of the saddle, so that it could not act to guide the mule, and at about ten o'clock deceased himself was found lying in the road at the bottom of Preston-hill, with several dreadful wounds on the head, which, according to the medical evidence, could hardly be produced except by a desperate blow with a bludgeon or similar instrument. The most deadly wound was behind the rigb t ear, and there was another on the forehead. The purse, money, and whip are missing, and two coats which deceased wore were unbuttoned, and open, although it was a cold frosty night. Several men were seen in the neighbourhood at about the time Mr. Foreman must have got to the spot, and some suspicion is attached to one who can• not be found. The inquest commenced at half-pall 10 o'clock in the morning, and after a short adjourn• ment terminated at half past 10 o'clock at night when the jury found a verdict of " Wilful murder' against some person or persons unknown.

THE CONVICT TOWNLEY.—The Derbyshire Ad vertiser says :—When Townley left Derby Gaol he had on an Inverness cape, and a rug covered his hands and concealed the handcuff. Ho also wore a slouched hat. Before leaving the prison he shook hands with those with whom he had been brought into contact, and expressed his thanks for the attention which had been paid him before and after his condemnation. So mad' was the culprit that it was not considered necessary for any of the warders to accompany him, and the governor and his prisoner occu pied a secoud . -claeo cowpartment to thecise;ves• The Murder and Suicide at Ipswich. The inquest on the bodies of James Gooding and Elizabeth Gooding was resumed yesterday morning, when the widow of the deceased man was examined. She stated that she and her late husband had been married 24 years; that he had been a good hus band, a kind father, and a feeling man. His health had always been very bad, and he had been very much depressed in mind since the loss of his three children some time ago, within a week or two of one another. His state of mind had been gradually getting worse, and at times she had not dared to leave him alone. He had not been able to work for some time past, except that on Tuesday he earned about Is. On Wednesday he was very ill, took no thing to eat, but walked from one room to another all day long. They retired to bed at eight on Wednes day night, and her husband passed a very restless night. She got up about eight on Thursday morn ing, and went down stairs to light a fire. She had occasion a few minutes after to go to the bedroom again, and noticed that her husband looked very wild. She went down again, and about 10 minutes after, as her husband did not bring down the child to be dressed, as he had told her little boy he would, she again went up, and found both father and child lying dead on the floor. She was perfectly convinced her husband was of unsound mind when he committed the act, as he was dotingly fond of the child, and had he been in his right mind could never have harmed it. The poor woman was in a very distressed state of mind, reproaching herself for having left her hus band even for the short space of time she did. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased James Gooding took the life of his child, Elizabeth Good ing, whilst of unsound mind, and immediately after wards, being in the same state of mind, destroyed himself,' A NORTHERN VIRAGO, A Mrs. Patterson Allan has been examined at Richmond on the charge of holding a treasonable correspondence with the enemy. About the guilt of the accused there is little question, though the examination was not concluded at the latest dates we have from the Confederate capital. The letter which led to Mrs. Allan's arrest is dated Richmond, Jane 8, signed "Santa Trinita," and addressed "Caro Signore," under cover to the Rev. Morgan Dix. It states that the Rev. M.D. Hoge was about to run the Charleston blockade on his return from London, " where his apparent business was to col lect Testaments and Bibles, but where his real object was to write for English journals, and exert his influence for the Southern cause." After disposing of Dr. Hoge, the in former proceeds to name several ministers and other persons of both sexes in the North, whom, she says:—" Should all be sent to the South." She also recommends that Mr. Vallandig ham should be imprisoned, saying, "Put the wretch in Fort Warren." She asserts that Gen. Stoneman had within his grasp the plantations of several of the most prominent rebels, * * besides the farms of hundreds engaged in the Southern service." Then, maddened by the reflection that Stoneman did not burn and destroy all these homesteads, she exclaims, "Oh, for the hour when the avenging angel shall appear with torch in one hand and the avenging s word of justice in the other, and consecrate to death and destruction this land and these people, rewarding them with a fate they so richly deserve ! When, when will that tima arrive ?" Mrs. Allan fur ther writes, "It is a truth, the rebel soldiers live on rate, and anything else they can get. Corn and wheat, green and from the field, are common articles of diet. If the Northern army cannot vanquish such a miserable set of starved and naked wretches, then may the Yankee nation become a by-word with all nations on earth ?" But this Mrs. Allan is not clever enough to avoid bearing unconscious testimony to the worth of her enemies. She writes, "In the North, treason stalks forth in the broad daylight. Here everything is subsorvient to the cause. . . . Many a man wearing the Feberal uni form is a traitor, and where the men are true their wives are false. It is this which has so often proved ruinous to the Union cause. Here every mind, heart, and arm are bent to serve the cause of the South. Money, property, crops, everything is sacri ficed for the main idea. Thus the South has been able to maintain its position so far.—lndex, SHIPPING—.This Day.

As MAD AS A HATTER.--Although an inquiry respecting this simile appeared in Notes and Queries as far back as June, 1860, it has not hitherto elicited a re ply. The phrase has now again come up in that amusing volume, Captain Gronow's "Recollections and Anecdotes:" —" On the subject of politics, my dear Alvanley, he is as mad as a hatter." One is at a loss to understand why a hatter should be made the type of insanity rather than a tailor or a shoemaker --but may not the phrase in question be thus explained ? The French compare an incapable or weak-minded person to an oyster—" He reasons like an oyster" (huitre). I would suggest, therefore, that through similarity of sound, the French huitre may, in the ease before us, have given occasion to the English " hatter." From " Il raisonno commo une huttre" may have come out " As iaad as a hatter.' SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 o'CLocK. HAMBURG.
