XONEY f/TARKET AND lIIMERCIAI, INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues in an easy condition. The demand for a ccommodation has only been of a moderate character, and discounters have evinced every disposition to secure business and to favour regular customers, The lowest rates for three months' bills has been quoted 7} per c ent., With, of course, exceptional operations at less prices. The failure announced has produced but little effect, because the event was long ago anticipated, at d it is not expected that the liabilities will fall very heavily on individual Parties, as the debts are very widely spread, Tho st atement, published on Saturday, that Messrs _Filch andd Vlier boom, of R o tt er d am, had suspended payment, turns out to be entirely incorrect. We readily give inser tion to the contradiction, because without which the cur rency of such a statement might prove injurious to the house in question. Messrs Bach and Vlierboom have been I - °go': engaged in business for several years, and have en- J°Yed the utmcat confidence of the commercial world. The suspension has been announced of Messrs Halliday, • r nr, and Co., East India merchants. The estimated liabi lities are £1,900,000, against which securities are held in Produce for about £ 1 ,400,000, leaving £500,000. There are, however, other assets which it is believed will enable this last s umto be p a id i n full, and as they are also represented by produce, and as the markets show now an improving ten dency, hopes are entertained that the failure will not prove very disastrous. Messrs Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co,, accountants sheet , have be en engage d to prepare a balance for the meeting of creditors. E Tile suspension has al so b een announce d o f M essrs v ans and yard Lewes, w are h ousemen, of St Paul ' s Church with debts amounting to about £55,000, and assets to 41svo.

The impression is that there is every prospect of very high rates ruling this season. No more arrivals are expected from St. Petersburg, which, no doubt, will give some effect to the firmness of the market. The failure of the root crop, and the general dry season that prevailed in June, July, and August, together with the serious drought in South America, will also influence the marke% In January next it is estimated that there will not be in London a third of What is usually supplied for the yearly demand. Tallc4V will therefore probably reach a price not known since thv Russian war. 1191 1361 a THE STJN, LONDON; MONDAY EVENING, /NOVEMBER 14, 1864. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. 'Very little change took place in the value of wheat in tho country markets held on Saturday. On the whole, the trade was steady, and a fair consumptive business was transacted. Good and fine barley and oats sold steadily, at full quotations; but for other articles the trade was slow, on former terms. On the continent the corn trade generally is without ma terial improvement ; in prices, however, scarcely any alteration has occurred. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flaur continues much re restricted. is a fair business transacted ruled firm.

The imports from abroad amounted to 21,855 quarters of wheat, 36,793 oats, 20 bean, 1,450 peas, 55 tares, 2,305 linseed, 4,305 rapeseed, 2,820 maize, ]79 sundry seeds, and 240 sacks of flour. Compared with Monday last there was a slight increase in the fr. eh arrivals of home-grown wheat to our market this morning, and the total quantity exhibited fur sale during the day was moderately large. The trade was less active than on Monday last. Good and fine dry produce was sold at late rates. Inferior and damp parcels, how ever, changed hands at a reduction of is per qr, or were left unsold at the close of business. The market was moderately supplied with barley. Good and fine malting qualities were in request, at extreme rates. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous • quotations. There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands The trade, generally speaking, was quiet, yet no quotable change took place in prices from Monday last; The supply of oats was extensive, but the trade was dull.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on offer in to-day's market, in very middling condition. Sales progressed slowly, at drooping prices. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up, this morning, were only moderate, both as to number and quality. The arrivals from Scotland were very prime. For all breeds, the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The general top figure for beef was 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a fair show of Irish bullocks. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to about 2,500 short horns, crosses, ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 178 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 450 oxen. With most breeds of sheep we were fairly supplied. Prime Downs, half-breds, /co., moved off steadily, at full quotations. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money. The best old Downs were worth be 10d per 81bs. Calves--the supply of which was moderate—were a slow sale, at late rates—viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BOY CHARGED "AITII ROBBING HIS FATHER —A SAD CASE.—George Sav age , a boy, was charged before M r Knox with robbing his fathe r . Michael Savage, a master chimney sweep, of No. 10, Hanover place, Bond-street, said he (the prisoner) was his son. On Saturday afternoon while he (prosecutor) was out, the prisoner left home, and some time after £1 2s 9d was missed from a drawer, the money being safe a few hours before. About 8 o'clock in the evening ho went to the Marylebone Theatre, and in the gallery found the prisoner. He then gave him into custody, when he handed the ser geant on duty in the theatre 19s, and also a scarf, at the came time stating that ho had taken the money from the drawer and bought the scarf out of it. In answer to Mr Knox, the prosecutor said he had five younger children than the prisoner, and that about two months ago the prisoner went away with £2, and had threatened his mother, with a knife in his hand, if she told him. The boy had fallen into very bad habits for about two years past. Sergeant Roots, 7 D, having given evidence as to his taking the boy into custody in the gallery of the Maryle bone Theatre, Mr Knox sail th:best thing ho could do would be to take the boy off the streets and send him to school. Ho should therefore send the prisoner to Feltham for three years, and the prosecutor would have to pay 3s a week to wards his maintenance. The prosecutor said he should be happy to do so. STREET ROBBERY.-T wo lads named Wm. Reardon and Charles Doughton, were brought before Mr. Knox charged with stealing a watch from the person of Mr Auguste Battman, a Frenchman, residing at 2, Old Compton-street. Sergeant Coathupe, of the detective department, Scotlands yard, stated that on Saturday night there was a large crowd inOld Compton-street, in consequence of two boys lighting. He saw the prisoners together, and Reardon pushed against the prosecutor and took his watch. He lost the prisoners in consequence of the crowd, but yesterday succeeded in taking them into custody on Seven Dials. M. Battman (through M. Albert the interpreter) deposed that hearing a disturbance in front of his house he went out to ascertain the cause, when his watch was taken from him, but he was not aware of it till the officer spoke to him. Reardon pleaded guilty. Sergeant Coathupe said Doughton bore a good character, and was at work up to Friday night. His master was pre sent and would take him back into his employ if he were discharged. Mr Knox said he would discharge Doughton, who had evidently got into bad company, at the same time advising him to be cautious for the future. Reardon would be com• mitted, but would be brought up again. Sergeant Coathupe said there was a conviction against Reardon which he should be able to prove on the next occasion. WESTMINSTER. CRUEL ROBBERY. -A very well dressed young woman, who gave the name of Amelia Jennings, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing 308 from the person of Emma Goodman. The prosecutor, who is the wife of a carman, said that on Saturday night she went to Mr Miles, a pawnbroker, at the corner of the Marlborough-road, Chelsea, to take out some articles which she had there pawned. She took her purse out of her bosom, and gave the - tickets from it to the pawn broker's man, and then placed the purse, containing 30s, in her pocket. While she was waiting for her property to be selected from the warehouse she remarked that the prisoner, without any excuse, kept pressing close upon her, and re monstrated with her for doing so. When her property was produced she found her purse and money had been stolen from her pocket, and she immediately gave the prisoner into custody. In describing the coins of which the £1 les consisted, prosecutrix said that it was a fearful loss to ber, as it was the joint earnings of her husband and brother for the week, upon which they alone had to subsist. The magistrate inquired how many persons thorn were in the box where prosecutrix and prisoner were standing. Prosecutrix replied that they were the only two persons in that box from the time prosecutrix gave the tickets out of her purse and missed it. Directly she exclaimed "My purse is gone," the prisoner recommended her to go home and look for it, although that, of course, would be useless. A police-constable proved apprehending the prisoner, and finding nearly £2 upon her, but not in the coin described by the prosecutrix. In reply to a question from the magistrate, prosecutrix said that, directly after she had missed hor money, a tall woman came and spoke to prisoner, and might have received anything from her. Prisoner denied all knowledge of the purse and money. She was remanded until Wednesday, the magistrate con senting to take good bail if she could procure it. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASSAULT. —Henry Otte way, a short, broad-shouldered, ounning•looking man, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently assaulting a Russian Finlend sailor, named Anduas Perula, who was examined through the medium of an interpreter. The complainant, who had a bandage over his left eye, said he was on shore on Saturday night, and at a late hour went home with a girl to a house in Shad well. He gave the mistress of the house a half sovereign, and sent for some beer. The change was not returned to him, and when ho asked for it the prisoner attacked him, beat him about the head and face, and injured his eye. He lest a good deal of blood. The prisoner said he was a sailor , and had been lodging at the house in question in Albert -square, Albert-street, Shadwell, for two days, lie was in the kitchen on Satur day night, and hearing a girl scream upstairs, he went to - her assistance, and found the complainant pulling her about and ill-using her. The complainant struck him, and he struck him in return. The complainant was recalled, and said he never struck the prisoner. Isaac Pawsey, police-constable No. 485 IC., stated that on Sunday morning he was called to the house in Albert square, and found the complainant, who was bleeding pro fusely, and was cut on the top of the head, on the eye, and there were marks on each side of the Finlander's forehead. The complainant bad been bleeding copiously. There was blood all over the house. Mr Paget asked if any other person saw the assault com mitted. Pawsey replied none. There was a man-of-war's-man in the house, who said he saw nothing whatever of the affray. William Noble, the man - of-war's-man alluded to, who was in court, was called. He said ho belonged to her Majesty's ship Aurora. The Finlander struck the prisoner who ran away, and the Finlander followed him and struck him again. The prisoner then returned the blow. Mr Paget—How came you to tell the policeman yesterday you knew nothing of the affray Witness—l don't know, sir. I said I h a d no thing to do with it. I never left the kitchen. Mr Paget—And y et you pretend that you saw everything and saw what occu rred upstairs. Y ou to ld t h e cons t a ble haswart'os iin:la .He has c ome here to save the falsehood.pri- I b e li eve t h e f ore i gner h as o e y es terday you knew no thing of the matter.

The Old Bailey in the coarse of yesterday was visited by some thousands of respectably attired people, who intermingled with others of the lowest order, and wandered in and out the barriers till a heavy rain compelled them to beat a retreat. And owing no doubt to the unpropitious state of the weather, which did not begin to clear up till nearly 2 o'clock this morning, there were very few persons assembled. At this Lour there could not have been it tt e most more than a couple of thoneand persons present, and those principally of the lowest possible order, many of whom were curled up like bundles of dirty regs in doorways of the bye-streets, and in the Old Bailey itself. From Ludgate-hill to St. Sepulchre's Church barriers, extending entirely across the road and footway, were erected at given distances, and kept up to 6 o'clock by a small detachment of the City police, under the command of Mr Inspector Everett. From the corner of Fleet-lane to a considerable distance beyond the "debtors' door" double barriers were erected, forming the enclosure for the gallows. Here, then, at this hour, the main body cf the as sembled people took up their positions, and kept them with indomitable tenacity, though they were occasionally assailed by heavy showers of rain. In side this enclosure a few privileged gentlemen, amongst whom were several of high rank, paraded, cigar in mouth, to and fro. For those who took up positions lower down, nearer the Sessions House, there was nothing to do but to wander up and down within the limit of the particular pen in which they chose to station themselves. Of course eating, drinking, and smoking was the prevailing element in these morbid groups of sightseers, who extensively patronised the peripatetic vendors of baked potatoes, fried fish, and such like delicacies. To those who had plenty of money seats at the win dows of public-houses, coffee-shops, and other tene ments in close proximity, were let at fabulous prices, ranging from .£lO to £3O for small, dilapidated rooms with a couple of windows, while L 3 and £5 were looked upon and quoted as a reasonable price for stun dingroom even at windows just within sight of tha place of execution. Nor were the owners of many of these tenements content to advertise their seats by means of canvassers to whom they allowed a liberal commission, but thickly placarded their windows with such announcements as " Seats to let," " Good view of the execution," &c. But not. withstanding the degrading efforts of these filthy lucre seekers, it was gratifying to observe that up to within a short time of the execution there were still large numbers of windows to let, which, at the last moment, were thrown open at comparatively nominal prices. Towards three o'clock the crowd materially increased. Carpenters and workmen with crowbars began to flit to and fro, while the windows, especially those in the immediate neigh bourhood of the prison, became filled with occup pants, whose dark outlines, boldly defined by the blazing fires within, formed grotesque phan tasmagoric pictures that rather harmonised than otherwise with the buzzing, discordant hubbub, of the mingled thousands, and the hideous gibbet beneath. Shortly before four o'clock the rumbling was heard in the press-yard which indicated that the machinery for the exe cution was on the move. All eyes were turned to the gates from which the huge black box, over which some 70 crimi nals have expiated their crimes, was to come. In a moment it appeared, drawn by two horses, which seemed rather ashamed of the business on which they were engaged, one of them showing a strong inclination to jib, With little difficulty, for the men seemed thoroughly to understand their work, the foundation of the gallows was got into its place, when an unearthly yell, such as is only heard at the foot of the gibbot, was raised. As each stage was com pleted in fitting up the awful apparatus, there was a cheer, or a yell, cr a groan, or a mingling or the three. At about half-past four all was in readiness; the mob, which only numbered some 2,500 or 3,000, having seen that which is always looked forward to as the first exciting part of the ceremony, subsided into comparative silence, the constant showers, and the impossibility of getting drink, having rath r cooled them, and all noisy outbreaks having been im mediately suppressed by the well-directed efforts of the police, under Inspector Everett, whose personal firmness had no small influence on the roughs. Up to half-past 4 we heard of but one case of robbery ; in that instance, one gentleman was captured with another gentleman's watch in his hand. During the few hours that elapsed between the erection of the gallows and the execution of the culprit, the workmen were busily engaged fixing the remaining barriers. The sound of the heavy mauls driving in the iron supports probably reached the ears of the criminal in his condemned cell. Then must he have too fully realised the words of the immortal Bard of Avon— " The weariest and most loathsome worldly life, That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment Can lay on nature is a paradise To what we fear of death." Inside the prison the heavy, iron-grated, dimly-lighted passages, through which reigns a death-like silence, broken but seldom; and then only by the clinking rattle of warders' keys, strike terror into the very soul of the stranger, En tering the building the iron-covered spiked door in the Old Bailey, which is instantly closed upon the visitor, one finds oneself in a lofty, half-lighted stone hall, about 40ft square. Here, then, so far as one's freedom is concerned, one is for the time being at the entire mercy of the gaoler, who, with the exception of Mr Jonas, the governor of the prison, is the only man possessed of a key that can again restore one to liberty. With a feeling of awe the visitor scans the dreary stone-paced hall. The eyes alight upon three black boards fixed on the wall directly opposite the entrance : on these are written the rules of the prison house, but dust and age hide from the distant gaze these ancient writings. Against the wall to the left are fixed a couple of shelves, on which are ranged in grim array the white plaster casts of the heads of Oreenacre, Conrvoisier, Hecker, Thistlewoed, Mullins, and others, who have been hanged at Newgate. In all there are about 30, and strange to say, in expression there are no two alike. The protruding eyeballs of some, the half-closed eyes of others, the marks of the rope on different parts of the neck, and the otherwise distorted countenances, peering as they do through a thick veil of black dust, and associated, too, with all that is ter rible, present a most hideous picture, and one that once seen is not easily forgotten. With a shudder one turns away from this frightful picture, and inquiringly eyes the grated door opening into the first of the narrow, tortuous, and apparently half-subterranean passages leading through the heart of the prison to the condemned cells. As a kind of personal relief one questions and chats with the ruddy-faced, good-tempered gaoler, who says he has been stationed at " that post for the past five-and-twenty years," and epito wises and narrates the histories of the numerous murderers who have been hanged at Newgate during that period. All this time one is waiting for the governor of the gaol, for without his escort no one is allowed to go beyond the hall. In due course he makes his appearance. The door is opened by a gaoler from the inside, whose bright-buttoned uniform and significant bunch of keys suspended from his belt more than once attract attention while in the hall to the grated door, as he paces to and from the gloomy passage within, Entering at this gate, then, the visitors turn to the left and pass along a passage dimly lighted by a small gas-jet. At the end on the right is another massive iron door, and another stalwart gaoler or sentry. Instinctively, as it were. through the grated window, he catches sight of the much respected governor, and throws back the cumbrous gate upon its powerful hinges. Beyond is a kind of stone vestibule, lighted by several small windows high up in the building. Here, in the centre, is the "strong room," a place devoted to the exclusive use of solicitors and counsel, in which the) hold converse with their prisoner-clients. From the fact of being called the "strong-room," it might generally bo sup posed to be made of iron and doubly locked. But this is not so; on the contrary, it is in a building of glass, and is termed "strong" because it is guarded by gaolers, who from the outside can witness all that is going on ; but can hear nothing. Proceeding onwards, passing through another, and fifth massive iron door, a narrow passage is reached which leads into the new wing of the gaol, an extensive building lighted by skylights. In this structure are a series of stone balconies built over each other in front of the cells built in the walls round the room• Crossing this, one passes through another iron door on the north side of the room into a short passage open to the air, but so covered in with thick iron bars and strong wire that daylight is almost excluded. At the end of this another massive door is opened, and the visitor energes into a court-yard about 10 feet wide. This is formed by the boundary wall in Newgate-street and the new wing of the gaol. In this yard the condemned cells are situated. There are two of these cells, each about ten feet square, and each contain ing an iron bedstead and mattress, a small deal table (over which is a gas jet), and a couple of stools. Light is ad mitted by a square thickly •grated window looking into the courtyard, and on to the massive towering white washed wall opposite. Such, then, is the ingress to the condemned cells,in ono of which the wretched culprit who this morning forfeited his life on the scaffold was confined since his con viction, and where he must have constantly heard the din of busy life without. The egress, however, from this horrible spot to th, debtor's door is by other and gloomier passages, which thi, morning were made doubly so by the eel ran procession tha' passed through them. After Mr Beard, Alderman Wilson, and Mr Jonas loft the prisoner on Saturday ni kt lakt 1 ::• - veared ration shaken by respect appeared calm and resigned to meet his fate. He j )ined devoutly in prayer with the rev. gent!eman, and otherwise conducted himself in a manner becoming his awful position. A little before 7 o'clock he was visited by Mr Jonas, the governor of the gaol, to whom he extended his hand, and feelingly thanked him for . the kind attention he had received since his incarceration. alleraft arrived at but was not recognised by tho mob, find thus et caped ,he usual hooting. Ai hough the fixing of the scaffold was complete 3 by four fcleck, still the clang of hammers in putting up barriers eonfinacd till day had dawned. At five o'clock a heavy, drenching rain set in, which had the effect of driving the majority of those who during the night had taken up positions from their strongholds, and they hastily beat a retreat to the now open public houses and coffeeshops, as well as to other planes offering anything like shelter. At this time there cDuld not have been more than 500 people tactually upon the scene. But at six o'cicck the rain abated, and from this time the crowd was recruited by an increasing flow of new comers. At six o'clock the main body of police, under Mr In spector Duddy, was stationed at the approaches to and in the Old Bailey, and preserved throughout the morning the strictest order. Soon after seven o'clock, Mr Alderman and Sheriff Besley, Mr Alderman and Sheriff Dakin, and the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. Davidson and Do Jersey, arrived at the Sessions House, where they remeincd till summoned to the prison by the governor. About 20 minutes to eight they were informed that the condemned man would soon leave his cell. Upon receiving this intimation, the whole of the party, about twelve in all, formed two abreast, and, preceded by the Under Sheriffs, left the Ses- sions 'louse. Upon crossing the court yard, on their way to the subterranean passage leading into the prison, it was appalling to hear the wild hubbub of the excited crowd be- yond the massive stone wall of the yard. This, however, was but of short duration, fur upon entering the passage underground the unseemly, discordant uproar without was no longer heard. Passing for a short d stance along this narrow tunnel, in the dim light of a small gas jet, the silent procession was brought to a momentary standstill while a massive iron door was opened. Not a word was uttered by any one, but slowly passing onward through several such doors, they merged into a series of winding passages formed of thick stone walls on either side, and enclosed above by stout, thickly-set iron bars, through which the damp, grey atmosphere of the early morning came with chilling effect upon all present. It is here that associations of all that is dreadful culminate in the mind of the visitor, for under the rugged, uneven pavement beneath, in shells full of quick lime, are buried the bodies of all tho murderers who have been bi ought to Newgate. It is a place of dread even to the gaolers themselves, who are, as may be supposed, stout hearted fellows, but who nevertheless cannot pass along these lonely passages without glancing fearfully at the roughly- carved initials on the walls of those who are buried beneath. Passing through here, they next reached the cemetery of the murderess, which is similar to the one described above. A few minutes after this, the procession reached the door which opens into the chapel-yard, were they awaited the arrival of the culprit. While the officials were on their way from the Sessions House to this spot, Mr Jonas had gone to the cell of the prisoner, and informed him that it was time for him to leave. The prisoner, who was deadly pale, trembled with emotion, but sought to bear the awful an nouncement with all the fortitude possible. He rose up, shook hands with the gaolers who had been principally with him since his incarceration, and with a slow but firm step left the cell, accompanied by Mr Jonas, the Rev. Mr Davis, and two or three other officials. As soon as they left the cell the shouts and cries of the thousands outside re sounded with painful effect upon those composing, the mournful procession as it passed slowly along the cold, damp stone yard. The procession moved onward through the iron gates enclosing the exercise yards till it reached. what is known as the Chapel-gate, where it was joined by the Sheriffs, the Under-Sheriffs, and the rest of the official party. For a few moments, during which scarcely anything was said, every ono appeared deeply impressed with the awful occasion, and, judging from their demeanour, to some degree of sympathy with the trembling, pale-faced youth who stood in their midst. In this interval the dismal tolling of St. Se pulchre's bell re-echoed across the yard, adding greatly to the solemnity of the proceedings. Tho Under to3heriffs then led the way, followed by the solemn procession, which passed out of the chapel-yard into the prison, and after traversing several passages, reached the " broad," or " press-room." This is a cleanly -scrubbed kitchen, which, with snowy white dresser and table, and its blazing fire, presented an aspect of comfort that seemed to mock the dreadful fate of the wretched man, who was told to " sit down." A minute or so after this, a short old man, with white hair, differen tially entered the room, and straightway proceeded to a cupboard, which, when opened, disclosed a number of straps and buckles, like those to be seen in a harness-room. He took down some of them, cringingly advanced towards the prisoner, w.som he told to " stand up." In obedience to this request Muller rose, and quietly submitted to the pro cess of pinioning. This painful part of the awful ceremony being over the procession reformed and moved slowly along a passage, hung on either side with black cloth, which led to the door opening on to the scaffold, Directly the pre cession began to move the bell of Newgate boomed forth the knell of the man fast approaching death, and scarcely had the echoes of this died away than the buzzing murmurs of the excited crowd without penetrated the very walls of the prison, which bespoke in terms unmistakeable the eager ness of that tumultuous multitude to witness the dying struggles of the notorious Muller. This movement on the part of the crowd in immediate proximity to the gallows im parted its significance with lightning speed to the crowds in the distance, who instantly raised the cries of " They are coming," " They are coming," " Hats off," Hats off." At this moment the most intense excitement and con fusion prevailed, in the midst of which terrible din rever berated the echoes of the solemn knell, which, from its in creased rapid tolling, indicated that the mournful proces sion had gained the steps of the hideous,cloth-draped gibbet. A moment afterwards the common hangman made his ap pearance on the scaff )Id, and then withdrew to see that all was right. Ho had no sooner disappeared than Muller accompanied by the Rev. J. Davis, the chaplain, and fol. lowed by the other officials, made his appearance. This was a signal for the renewed excitement and clamour of the swerving multitude, who had largely, and almost im perceptibly, increased, and whose upturned anxious faces met the gaze at all points. Muller mounted the scaffold with a firm step, looking deadly pale, and his lower lip quivering. Tho cap having been adjusted and the rope placed round his neck Dr Cappel said, " In a few minutes you will be before your God. I ask you for the last time—are you innocent or guilty ? " Muller—l am innocent ? Dr Cappel---You are innocent ? Muller—God Almighty knows what I have done. Dr Cappel--He knows it you have done this deed. Muller—YES, I HAVE DONE IT, Dr Cappel then nearly faintol. The signal was given the drop fell, and Muller died without a struggle. It is alleged that Muller stated to one of the Sheriffs a day or two ago, that he was not on the south side of the river at all on the evening of the murder. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE CONFESSION After the convict had been plaeed upon the drop and the rope adjusted round his neck, Dr. Cappel, addressing him with great animation and solemnity, said, " In a few moments, Muller, you will stand before God ; I ask you again, and for the last time, are you guilty or innocent ' He replied, "I am innocent." Dr. Cappel said, " You are innocent ?" repeating his own words in the form of a question. Muller answered, " God Almighty knows what I nave done." Dr. Cappel, " God Almighty knows what you have done !" again repeating the convict's own words ; " Does God know that you have done this particular deed P ' Muller replied "Yes ; Yes ; I have done it," speaking in Ger man, in which language the whole conversation , was conducted. The German expression used by the convict was "Ich babe es gethan ;" and these were his last words. The drop fell, and he soon ceased to live. So greatly relieved was the rev. gentleman by the confession, that he rushed from the scaffold, exclaiming " Thank God ! Thank God ! " and sank down in a chair, completely ex hausted by his own emotion. After recovering, he repeated in English, in the presence of the Sheriffs And Under-Sheriffs and the representatives of the newspaper press, of whom there were four, what had just passed between him and the convict, pre cisely as it has been related above. The body, after hanging the usual time, was removed from the public gaze, and will be interred towards evening within the precincts of the prison. The convict has left behind him a written and sealed document, which has been placed in the. + - lands of the Sheriffs, but who forbear for the present to makeit public, after his confession on the scaffold, until they shall have reported the fact to the Court of Aldermen at their meeting to-morrow.

Jenner, iron merchant, Chapel-street, Salford, was charged with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury. The prosecutor was Samuel Platt, boiler maker, Adelphi, Salford. The defen dant holds two public offices, one as a representative in the Salford Council of Trinity Ward, and the other as guardian of the Salford Union,—Mr Ernest Jones, who appeared For the prosecutor, said that the alleged offence was emu- mitted in the Salford Court of Record on March 1, 1861, in an action in which Mr Jenner was the pl aintiff and Mr Platt the defendant. Mr S. Platt, the prosecutor, said that in May, 1859, he sent one of his men, named Lyons, to the defendant's works to obtain a foot of inch and a half square cast steel. Lyons brought a piece of double sheer steel, about seven or eight feet long, Complainant cut off a foot and sent the bar beck. The following day he returned the foot also, after finding that it did not suit his purpose, but the defendant refused to receive it. Witness had a dispute about some circular plates he bought from the defendant, and the matter was referred to Mr Mather, of the firm of Messrs Mather and Platt, who decided that the price should be reduced. With respect to this decision, defendant said to witness, "You have done me this time; and it will be my turn next;" and, about the 30th of Juno, 1859, ho sent an invoice containing item of credit for the bar of steel, as returned, but the invoice contained an error, and it was sent back to the defendant. 'Witness also received a second invoice, in which was shown a balance of £1 17s 43, the item of credit being omitted, and he offered Si 17s 4d to discharge the claim. Defendant refused to accept this as payment in full, said that the bar had not been received by him, and obtai9ed a writ in the Salford Court of Record. Before the trial, witness paid £3 3s 81 into Court. At the trial, the defendant swore that neither he nor any of his servants had received the steel. The Judge, in summing up, said that there had been perjury on one side or the other ; and he went so far as to order the witness Lyons not to leave the Court. A verdict was found for Mr Jenner, and witness had to pay the amount of the claim. After the trial, witness said, " You know you have got that steel,' to the defendant, who then produced a bit of paper, and said, This is for the double shear, and as you have seen it tear it up." Witness did so, end did not see defendant afterwards. In 1862, Mr Astley,t elerk,!who was in defendant's service at the t , me the alleged perjury was committed, gave witness two invoices. Mr Mather had pro mised to stand ty him with £5OO, in order to sea publics justice done to him, and had enabled him to carry out these proceedings.—Thomas Lyons said that ho was in the pro secutor's service in 18.59, and that he took the long bar, after a foot had been cut off, to the defendant's works. A man named Miller weighed it, and witness left it there, Witness was present at the trial in the Court of Record, and was requested by the judge not to leave the court,—W, T. M. Astley said he was an auctioneer at the King's Head, and that up to February, 1862, he was in defendant's employ. In the second invoice, dated the 30th September, IS6O, produced, the item of credit for the bar of steel was omitted. Witness prepared the invoice, and copied the items from the defendant's j.urnal, The item of credit was omitted because it was entered amongst other similar items at the end of the book. On the day before the action in the Court of Record was brought, the defendant asked if the bar had been returned. 'Witness examined the country ledger, produced, and found the item of credit for the bar of steel returned. Mr Benner asked, "How can it be done," and upon witness saying that he did not know, the defendant took a penknife and cut the leaf con.. taining the item of credit out of the book. The defendant afterwards sent the book to a binder, had a facsimile leaf inserted, and directed witness and another clerk, named Heywood, to copy all the entries except the item of credit for the steel. This was done. The book thus tampered with was produced at the trial, the following day, when the item of credit did not appear in it, and the defendant there swore that the bar had not been returned. In cross exami, nation by Mr Leresche, witness said that if he stated in the Court of Record "had the steel been returned, I should have known it, or that the steel had not been returned," he was " subordinated . ' to say it by the defendant, whom he was compelled to obey. Witness knew what he swore on that occasion was not true. The presiding magistrate (Mr Trafford) : Did everyone in Mr Jenner's commit perjury? Witness—Yes, all of us, because we were bound. Mr John Beardsall said he was in the employ of Mr J. Clarke, bookbinder, Kennedy-street, when some cue from the defendant's service brought a bock in which a new leaf was placed. The day-book iroduceu had been altered since it was first bcund. He had exa mined it. In the first instance, he observed that a section projected beyond the others. He opened the book and found that section had been removed, and replaced. There was a trifling difference in the colour of the new paper that had been introduced, and the name of the maker in the water mark was also different from the rest of the book. Witness also examined the journal produced, and found that several pages had been removed from the end of the book.—William Rogerson, salesman, said ho was formerly in the defendant's employ. On the morn ing before the trial, the defendant instructed witness to transfer the plaintiff's account from the town to the country ledger. Witness saw the witness Astley with sonnthing in his hand on the morning after the trial, which he said were the old leaves which had been cut out of a book, add;ng that Mr Jenner would look a bonny when the prison van came for him. Astley also said that he could transport the detendent if he did not suit him. While, the Judge was considering the ver dict, Astley said to witness in the Court of Record, " What a shame it is; we have actually taken the leaves out of the day-book to make it appear as if the steel had never been returned." Witness asked him to tell him all about it ; and Astley continued. " Yesterday, we went upstairs to get up the evidence: We examined the beaks and found is the day-book the entry relating to the steel, with a mark against it, end I pointed it out. Mr Jenner then said, we may as well give the case up; I said, we can alter it,' took hold of the leaf, and before Mr Jenner could hinder me, I tore it out. J enner then s lid, Oh I Astley, you have ruined me ; it is a very serious case, and you do not know what may be the consequences.' I said that I would get it put right, and I went to Clarke's with it."—John Hay ward, a nephew of the defendant , said that Mr Astley took the day-book to Clarke's. Witness assisted in copy ing Mr Platt's account from the old pages. Every item was copied, and what was omitted was only the mark that was made against the item of credit.—Mr Leresche was proceeding to speak for the defence , when th e presid ing Magistrate, Mr Trafford, said that he should be guilty of a great dereliction of duty if he did not send the case to a jury, and the defendant was, therefore, cemmited for trial at the assizes. He would be admitted to bail. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Nov. 14.—Wind this day at noon—South- Easterly; moderate breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.
