VEGRAVESEND,STROOD,ROCHESTER, and CHATHAM RAILWAY (Emslie's line). 'llls PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE beg to infirm the numerous - applicants for SHARES, who have not received answers to their several applications, that it has been found impossible to return a separate communication in each instance. This announcement will, it, is hoped, be accepted as a sufficient apology. HENRY MEAD, Secretary. Offices, 12, Moorgate-street, June 13, 1844. Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a Committee of Inquiry, relative to the effect of the present import duties. The Earl of DALHOUSIE opposed the motion, and, after a lengthened discussion, the House divided, and the motion was rejected by a majority of 109. The House then adjourned. In the Commons, several petitions were presented against the Bank Charter Bill. Mr. C. BEEKELEY wished to know from Sir J. GRAHAM, the cause of the delay in introducing the Charitable Trusts Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said the LORD CHANCELLOR was entrusted with the Bill, and he had every reason to believe it would be introduced forthwith. A number of other Members tried to elicit from the Home Secretary when the Bill would be introduced, but no satisfactory answer could be obtained. On the order of the day being read for the second reading of the Bank Charter Bill, Mr. HAWES moved that no sufficient evidence had been laid before the House to justify the proposed interference with banks of issue in the management of their circulation. He then entered into lengthened details on the currency, and contended that no good reason had been shown by Sir R. PEEL for altering the system of currency which he had adopted in 1819. Mr. HASTIE seconded the motion, and said he felt bound to declare that the present Bill introduced by Sir ROBERT PEEL, contained more elements of panic than any preceding one. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the resolution, and thought it would have been more manly to have moved that the Bill be rejected altoge ther, than to assail it on mere points of detail. Several other Members spoke, and ultimately the resolutions were carried by a majority of 155, there being 185 for it, and 30 against it. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. We quote the following from a Morning Contem porary :—" Yesterday evening, the large arched window in the side of the, tower of St. Stephen's, Walbrook—a church celebrated for its architectural beauty, as being the chef d'oeuvre of Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN—fell with a tremendous crash upon the pave ment below. The whole of the wooden frames, with the cross iron bars, bolts, and glass embedded in the lead, lay for some time smashed to atoms on the pavement, and were at length removed into the church portico; while the beadle and others ascended the tower to inspect the state of the other windows, which were found to be in a very unsafe state." This accident, which by the bye, might have been attended with very dangerous consequences, inasmuch as a woman and two children, who chanced to be turning down Walbrook at the time, " narrowly escaped destruction by the intervention only of a few inches"—this accident, we say, could not have been unexpected by the parochial authorities, for Dr. CaoLy, several weeks ago, publicly called their attention to the dilapidated condition of the church, warning them that not only were the win dows unsafe, but that the very pulpit was tottering; and, moreover, that there was not a pew door but what gave indications of an intention ere long to part company with its hinges, and grievously endamage the toes of whoever happened to be passing up or down the aisles at the moment. But, as has been IA ell observed, " that which is every body's busi ness is nobody's business," and not until some man of note in the parish has had his " re spectable " sconce cracked by the fall of another r. indow into the street, or the amiable rector has tumbled through his pulpit, and suffocated the clerk beneath the weighty avalanche of his descent,—not until some accident or other of this sort has happened, will the parochial authorities of Walbrook thank it their duty to set in right earnest about the necessary repairs of their Church. But our object in alluding to this matter is not so much to recommend the im mediate restoration of the long-neglected St. Ste phen's to its pristine state of beauty and safety, as to point out the absurdity of the Bishop of Lownori's favourite scheme for Increasing the spread of reli gion by the erection of new churches in the City and its suburbs. Of what earthly use is it to build additional churches, when those which we already have are only half filled, and what is worse, are regarded with so little respect, as to be permitted—as in the case of St. Stephen's—to fall into a state of dilapidation ? Those of our citizens who decline attending Divine service at the old churches, will certainly feel no very ardent desire to attend the new ones. The apostolic Bishop's first object should be to increase, by his in fluence and the zeal and frequency of his ghostly ex hortations, the number of the church-goers in his diocese ; and when it has been satisfactorily demon strated that this number has so greatly multiplied that there is not sufficient accommodation for them in the churches alreading existing, then it will be full time enough to solicit subscriptions for the erection of new ones. But to build additional religious struc tures while some of the old ones are tumbling to pieces for want of the necessary repairs, and the majority are rarely, if ever, more than half filled, seems to us to be about as absurd a crotchet as could ever enter into the head of an episcopal dignitary. It is not a useless multiplying of churches that will make the Bishop of LONDON'S flock more religious than they now are, but the increased zeal and efficiency of his clergy, shown by their exhibiting a kindlier sympathy with the feelings and interests of the poorer classes in their respective parishes. It is to this, and this only, that we look for that improved religious spirit among his vast flock which the ghostly Prelate hopes to excite merely by the erection of new churches, just as though it were the church, and not the minister, which possessed the power of reformation. But we are at no great loss to account for the good Bishop's urgency in enforcing this architectural crotchet of his. As a matter of course, his power and patronage I will be wondrously strengthened by the building of new religious edifices, and this is a consideration of no slight weight with an active and ambitious Prelate, who possibly imagines that a day may come—and at no distant period—when he may enjoy the enviable distinction of signing himself "CANTUAR." Madrid journals of the 6th have been received, but they contain nothing remarkable. Even the butcheries committed in Catalonia seem to be regarded as no novelty, and are announced as mere matters of course. In Valencia the same scenes are enacted. The Madrid Gazette publishes several bulletins dated from that place, stating that more Carlists had been taken prisoners and shot. In one of these bulletins we find the following horrible announcement :—"lt is calculated that within the last fortnight General VILLALONGA, whose exertions are extremely merito rious, has caused one hundred and thirty-six to be put to death. The most important capture and exe cution was that of MAasaL, one of the chiefs, who assumed the title of Colonel. He was taken on the coast just as the small squadron on board of which their MAJESTIES were repairing to Barcelona was passing by." The Madrid Bourse was closed on the 6th, it being the Feast of Corpus Christi. Most of the Paris papers of Wednesday contain the dispatches from General LAMORICIERB, relative to the collision between the French and Moorish troops, which appeared in The Sun of yesterday. It seems to be regarded at Paris as a matter of very little im portance, and the journals in,seneral give them with- The Earl of CLaafirrnoN, In the House o f L or d s , out any comment.

"The President of the Greek Ministry, M. Mavrocordate, has just given in his resignation, and all his colleagues were on the point of following his example. This Cabinet, formed under English influence, had, from the moment of its acces sion to power, met with an opposition to which it was at last obliged to yield. General Colletti, who is not hostile to French influence, will, without doubt, be charged with the formation of the new Ministry." THE BOURSE-WEDNESDAY, JIINt 12. - • First Highest Lowest Price.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The royal mail steamer Britannia, Captain John Hewitt, with the mails from Boston and Halifax, arrived in our river at an early hour this morning, after an ex cellent voyage of 12f days from New York, and 10 from Boston, she having left those ports on the Ist and 3d respectively. She has brought 75 passengers. The Caledonia, which sailed hence 19th May, arrived at Bos ton on the Ist June, at 7 A.M. As her letters were quickly delivered, it enabled merchants in Boston to answer them by the Britannia. The Baltimore Convention had resulted in the nomi nation of James K. Polk, of Tenessee, as Democratic candidate for President, and George M. Dallas, of Pen sylvania, as Viee-President. This result is looked upon as most favourable to the Whig candidates, Mr. Clay and Mr. Freylinghasen. A great fire had occurred in New Orleans on the 18th ult., by which property to the value of 400,000 dollars was destroyed. Nearly three hundred valuable buildings were burned, and at least 2,000 persons left houseless by the calamity. No fresh steps in the Annexation Scheme had been taken ; the belief that it would be rejected by the Senate increased. As Congress would adjourn by the middle of June, its fate would soon be decided. The general Congressional proceedings do not possess any interest. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW Yoiu MAY 31.—The prosperous condition of the country seems to be indicated by what is not generally an indication of prosperity—the abundance of money and the consequent low rate of interest. Yet at this moment trade is flourishing, industry fully called forth and rewarded, and wages are rising, while money goes begging and interest is falling. The Banks have expanded over much, perhaps—though at low rates—seeking to make up by the largeness of amount lent for the lower rate of interest submitted to. _ Stocks of all sorts have risen. The " fancies," as they are called, or gambling stocks, have run so much beyond any real value they possess, that the speculating spirit has been turned to dividend-paying stocks of the States—which have risen in consequence. There is nothing a-head to excite solicitude respecting our public affairs; and this is true; for on all hands it is now understood that the Texas treaty will be rejected, and that nothing will come of that ill-omened project—and but for that, the political sky is without a cloud. As to the coming wheat crops, notwithstanding complaints in parts of Virginia and elsewhere of the devastations of the canker worm, the crop promises to be enormous. Exchange on England has risen somewhat, and is on demand at from 9 to 9A per cent. On France it may be quoted at 5 25f.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. During the present week a very large quantity of English Wheat has been received up to our market, owing to which, the demand fur it was in a depressed state, and prices had, in some instances, a downward tendency. The show offree foreign Wheat was extensive, while the sale for it was heavy, at barely late rates. Very little foreign Barley went on show ; but some large contracts have been effected in the article for for ward delivery, at improved rates. The best Malt was a trifle dearer. In other qualities only a moderate business was doing. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, were quite as dear. ARRIVALS. $1;81O"qtrs. Barley.

The supply of Sheep was only moderate, while the Mutton trade was comparatively steady, atfull prices. In Lambs, the arrivals of which were good, a fair amount of business was doing, and late rates were well supported. The Veal trade was extremely dull, at a depression of 2d per Blbs.

BOROUGH SOP Nearly the whole of the accounts which have come to hand this week, are far more favourable than for some time past; hence the demand for all kinds of hops is inactive, at barely previous rates. In the duty no betting has as yet taken place. COLONIAL. The market for British Plantation has been drooping this week, being freely supplied. Sales privately about 1,200 hhds, at 6d to Is decline; and by auction, 125 hhds new Barbadoes went at 64s to 66s for fine yellow, and 60s to 61s fur mid. _ _ REFINED has been dull, and barely maintained in value. MAURITIUS AND BENGAL.—The former has been ne glected; fine is 62s to 655, and yellow 56s to 61s 6d per cwt; 4,495 bags of the latter partly found buyers--fine strong yellow Dobah kind at 67s to 71s, and good to fine sound white 63s to 64s 6d. Supplies of all kinds are increasing. FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah has been in some request at 19s 6d for a near port ; 6,200 bags Manilla sold at 15s to 17s 6d for damp. COFFEE.—The market for British Plantation has been quiet privately, as well as for most other sorts. 70 casks Trinidad realised 53s 6d to 58s for good to fine ord at public sale, and 165 bags Jamaica at 84s to 90s for mid. Jamaica fine of the new crop is quoted 84s to 88s, and Berbice fine 84s to 94s per cwt. Ceylon good ord has been taken in small parcels at 51s, but 49s to 51s is considered the general range. At public sale 136 bags Costa Rica were all taken in at 58s for fine fine ord, and 90 bales Mocha were bought in at 72s for mid greenish mixed; 44 bags Ceylon at auction brought 81s Ott to 82s for mid grey Demerara sort. Cocoa.—There has not been much done, and Trinidad has been sold at 44s to 47s Gd for red. Rum.—The market has been steady. SPICES.— Pimento has supported its value 34d to *I per lb. for ord to mid. Cassia Lignea has been rather quiet. In Pepper a moderate business is doing. R l oE.—Bevgal is firm at 103 6d to 1 is for mid white. Corrox.—Owing to the partial revival of the demand at Liverpool, the article looks better, and the 4,500 bales Surat offered publicly was sold at 24d to aid for very ord to mid. Madras bought in. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is about 40s 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot. TEA.—There is rather more doing since the public sales, and prices are better supported, MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester day at very fall prices. Speculators took 1,500 bales Ame rican, and exporters 500 ; the total sales being 8,000 bales, viz., 150 Pernam at ad. to 6d., 50 Bahia at sid., 240 Ma ranham at 50, 60 Egyptian at bid. to 7d., 200 Surat at 3d. to 3id., and the rest American at 3id. to sid. per lb.— Shares were on the whole rather dull, Birmingham and Grand Junction being, however, again firmer.

The result of the debate in the House of Commons on the second reading of the Bank Charter Bill has been the subject of much conversation in the City this morning, and many complaints are made that the Government will not concede two of the points so much asked for, namely, an extension of the amount of the issues of notes by the Bank of England upon securities, and a more liberal mark as to the amount of the issue by the country baakers. However, almost all hope is given up that in Committee there will be any material alteration in the principle of the measure as at first brought forward by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. A large amount of merchandise has been cleared for home consumption yesterday and to -day. The river, the docks, and the reyenue departments of Customs and Excise, are in a most bustling state. The receipts this week have been almost unprecedented, and what' is the more satisfactory, is the fact, that the purchases, in the majority of instances, have been bona fide and not in time bargains. We are without any arrivals of interest this morning. The rig to raise the wind by the Financial Minister of Madrid has failed, according to our letters received to-day, from thence, although in a place like that, one scheme soon fol lows another. The Exchange from Hamburgh comes over at 13 61, being rather lower, and the price of gold at 4351. Not a great deal of business was done in the Consol Market this morning. The price for the Account touched 98i at one time, but the general rate has been 988. The Three-and-a- Half per Cents. have been done at two per cent. above par ; Long Annuities at 12 7-16ths ; and Reduced Three per Cents. at 988 4. The premium on Exchequer Bills has advanced to 755. Bank Stock left off yesterday at 194. It has just been sold at 1971. This is the settling day for the half-month in the Foreign House, and, as money is very easy, all has gone off well as yet. Spanish may be quoted a shade better, the Three Cents. having touched 344 ; and the Five per Cents. 22j for the end of the month. Dutch and Belgian Bonds are firm. Portuguese Five per Cents. are worth 78. Mexican are flat at 338 ; and Colombiafi ex Venezuelan at 12i -f. A bargain was made in Russian at 118. The London and Birmingham Railway Shares have rallied this morning from 112 to 118 premium, but this value has since gone back to 116 premium. The New Shares com mand 34, and the Quarters ditto, 22i premium. In general, the Railway Share Market looks buoyant, but not many real transactions have yet been reported.

Lord Denman sat at Nisi Prius this morning with a Middlesex Common Jury. No case of any importance came on during the morning. In the case of the Queen v. Timson, a verdict of acquittal was taken without going into the case for the prosecution. --- CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE ALLEGED ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. At the sitting of the Court this morning, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that in the case of the prisoners Lindsays, who were yesterday tried and acquitted, they having been c h arge d with committing a robbery at Buckingham Palace, to • other indictments had- been pre ferred, but as the object of the prosecution had been to have the facts of the case publicly and thoroughly investigated, he Fonsideredthat he would be but exercising a sound discretion in not proceeding with evidence upon the other indictments against the prisoners. The prisoners were then removed into the New Court, where, by the direction of the Learned Judge, the jury re turned a verdict of Not Guilty, against them, and they were immediately afterwards discharged. THE MURDER AT BATTERSEA. Augustus Dahlias, who stands charged with the murder of Sarah Eleanor M'Farlane, on the night of the 29th of April last, by cutting her throat upon Battersea-bridge, was now brought into Court and placed at the bar. The prisoner has much improved in appearance since his confinement. He looked very confident, and listened with great attention while the indictment was being read over ; and while the So licitor-General opened the case to the jury, he paid the most marked attention to every statement advanced by the Learned Gentleman. He was very neatly dressed in a blue frock-. coat, buttoned to the chin. The Soiacrron-GEINEnaL said that it would be necessary for him to entreat the jury's patient deliberation to the very heavy charge which was 'preferred against the prisoner. He was quite aware that they knew their duty too well, not to discard any preconceived opinions, which they might be in clined to receive from the statements which had appeared from time to time in the public prints. He begged to remind them that the prisoner at the bar was a Frenchmai, who was a widower, with four daug hters; and during the life of his wife, used to live nex t door to the female Sarah Eleanor M`Farlane, into whose death they were that day to inquire. After his wife's death, an affection of the most ardent cha racter seemed to have sprung up between the prisoner and deceased; and it would be part of his duty to put certain letters before the Court, which were written in the most affectionate terms, the prisoner in them frequently address ing her as his " dearest Sarah." The Learned Gentle marl then briefly recapitulated the chief features of the evidence already adduced before the magistrates, and he dwelt particularly on the fact of the prisoner's being with the deceased on the night of the murder ; the dress of both, and the remarkable words used by them on their way to the bridge. The various movements of the prisoner after the death of the unfortunate woman were next alluded to, from the time of his calling upon his daughter in Montpelier square to the period of his surrendering himself at the police station-house in Marylebone-lane. He would, with this brief recital of the facts of the case, proceed to call the wit nesses before them. He was convinced they would give the case their best attention, and whatever might be their verdict he was certain that that verdict would be founded in justice. The Learned Gentleman then called Mr. William Parkins, who was examined by Mr. BODKIN— I am a goldsmith, and reside at No. 8, Albion-terrace, King's road, Chelsea. I was out in the night of the 29th April, and while crossing the bridge observed the female coming in the direction from 2 Chelsea. She came up and caught hold of me, and said," Will you assist me to the toll-house ?" She reeled in such a manner that I thought she was tipsey, and I said, " Why, my good woman, what's the matter ?" She saw the person who keeps the toll, and ran over to him. I observed her fall at the toll-house, and looking at my own right-hand I found it covered with blood. I followed to the toll-house, and observed, " Good God, the woman's throat is cut." The alarm was given, and several persons came up ; one said, " Its Mrs. M'Farlane," and another added, "Then Dalmas has done it." A Mr. Mullins and another gentleman ran for a doctor. She was afterwards carried to the passage of the Swan Tavern, and while lying in the passage I said, " She will bleed to death ; she is dying." I saw Langton, the officer, and Mr. Gosling, the landlord of the Swan, there. The woman was bleeding profusely. Mr. Baron GURNEY—Did she make any exclamation ? Witness—Only " Oh dear !" my Lord. Mr. Baron GURNEY—HOW long did she live after the police- man arrived ? Witness—Abeut five minutes, my Lord. By Mr. BODICEi—I did not hear the woman say anything else. Cross-examined by Mr. Wrimnes—Had not Mr. Mullins a broad brimmed hat on, and a dark coat? Yes. Mr. Baron GURNEY—IS that Mr. Mullins here ?—He is outside the Court. William Gosling—l am landlord of the Swan Inn, and on the night of the 29th April the deceased female was brought in and laid down in my passage. Many persona, came in with her, and some remarks passed, that " she would bleed to death—that she was dying." Langton, the policeman, was there, and stooped over her, he requested her to pay attention to what she said. The wounded female appeared then to be sensible enough, and aware of what was going on. By Mr.Wrucuss—l heard a person say, "get assistance or she will bleed to death." That was before Langton put the questions to her. Mr. JusticeWmaiars—Why do you think that the woman understood what was passing about her? Witness—From the answers she returned to the questions. Frederick Langton, 36 V.—l heard a cry of police from the bridge, and hastened there. I observed the woman, and she had a cut in her throat, to which a handkerchief was pressed. When she was being removed, the handkerchief fell off, and I do not remember whether I applied it to the wound again. She was carried into the Swan. I looked in her face, and she appeared to me as if she wanted to say something to me. I put four questions to her, and obtained an answer to each of them. She lived five or six minutes after answering the last. She spoke very lowly, but very distinctly. Her voice appeared more faint when she answered the last question. By Mr. WILKINS—I did not hear any person say, " Get help, or the woman will die." Mr. WILKINS submitted to the Bench that the evidence adduced was inadmissible, because it would be necessary to prove, not that the woman was in a dying state, or that she died in five or six weeks, but that she thought she was dying. He thought the expression, " Get help, or the woman will die," was calculated to encourage the hope that if such assistance was found, death could be avoided. On these grounds he submitted the evidence could not be received. Mr. ALLEYN followed on the same side, and cited an opinion of Mr. Justice Coleridge to the effect— Mr. Baron GURNEY thought the present too doubtful a case to admit of the evidence tendered as to the female's con sciousness of what was passing. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS coincided in the opinion expressed by his learned brother. * Thomas Hall—l am tollman at Battersea-bridge, and saw the woman at the toll-house on the night of the 29th of April. She was wounded, and kept repeating "Oh dear, oh dear." I saw her on that same eveni n g ab ou t s i x o'clock pass across to Chelsea, accompanied by the prisoner's youngest daughter Augusta. I know a man Cook, and saw him on the bridge that night. Mr. WILLIAMS—Did you not deny before the magistrate that you had seen Cook? Witness—l did, Sir. By Mr. Baron GURNEY—The reason I denied having seen Cook was that I did not know the man's name, although I had known him personally for upwards of seven years. Frances Scott, housekeeper to Mrs. D'Oyley, No. 9, Bol ton-place, Chelsea—On the night of the murder the deceased called, accompanied by the prisoner's youngest daughter, who was going to enter into Mrs. D'Oyiey's service. The deceased waited about ten minutes and was in good spirits, laughing and joking till she went away. I observed a man waiting outside; he appeared as if waiting for some one. Sergeant Lynes, 5 V. was on duty in Bolton-row, and ob served a man waiting in front of No. 9,from twenty minutes past eight till a quarter to nine. He saw the woman come out, and she joined the man, and they walked away arm-in -arm, in the direction of the Queen's Elms. The prisoner at the bar is that man. He had on a dark coat and broad-brimmed hat. Elizabeth Chaplin, examined by Mr. GIIANIBERS—I was barmaid of the Stag Tavern, Fulham-road, on the night of the 29th of April. I saw a man and woman come in. The prisoner is the man, and he had often been at our house in company with the same female before. They waited but a short time and had a quartern of gin and cloves. The female was middle aged, well-dressed, and was altogether a genteel little woman. ' Mary Ann Williams, examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL —I live at the toll-house, Lands End, Fulham. On the night of the 29th of April, I was on the Chelsea side of Bat tersea-bridge, and I saw a man and woman standing there. The prisoner is the man. They were standing still, and con tinued standing for some time. I left for Fulham, and they still waited there. By Mr. WILKLNS—Did you not say to the policeman, in the first instance, that you did not see the prisoner's face at all? —No, I did not. I saw his face side ways. The hour was about twenty minutes before ten. I never had seen the man before. I was standing there myself waiting for a female. Richard Parsons, examined by Mr. BODKIN—I keep the King William the Fourth, beer- shop, King's-road, Chelsea. On the night of the 29th of April, about twenty minutes past nine, a man and woman came in, and had a pint of porter. I saw the body of the female on the Sunday after, and it struck me that she it was, who had been in on the night of the 29th. I did not notice the man sufficiently to know him again. I recognised the prisoner when standing in the crowd, in Wandsworth Police-court, as the man who bad been in my house with the woman. I did not know when I pointed out the man that he was a prisoner. Elizabeth Meangham, by Mr. CliateßEßs—l am a dress maker, and recollecting standing outside with the waiter of the White Hart, about twenty minutes after ten, on the night of the 29th April. I saw a man and woman passing. I heard the woman say, " she could not stop out that night." 1 recognised her when I saw her lying dead as a person I had formerly known. I had known her some seven or eight years ago. I thought by her dress it was she who had passed on that night. I stated at the Wandsworth Police-court, and I say now, that he is the man who passed with the female. Edmund Rogers examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-- I am a waiter at the White Hart, and while standing with the last witness I observed a man and woman passing in the direction of the bridge. I heard the man say, " Will you go there tonight?" and the woman said, "No, I can't go to-night." I would not know them again. Rebecca Seward—l was, on the night of the murder, coming down Beaufort-row into Duke-street, and saw a man and woman there. They were near the railings that lead to the bridge. The hour was about half-past ten. The woman had on a light dress and bonnet, and a dark shawl. I heard the man say to the woman in a loud voice, " And so you won't ?" I thought he spoke very angrily. Wm. Evans examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—On the night of the 29th April I was on the Surrey side of Battersea bridge, and saw a man and woman standing on the crown arch of the bridge. In a minute or two I heard a scream. I . _ . was at the moment looking another way, but I immediately looked up and observed the woman running towards the toll house. I thought she said the man had cut her throat. That was said when she got to the toll-house. When I heard the scream it seemed to come from where they were standing, and it sounded like a woman's. A gentleman came to the toll-house, and I ran for a doctor. By Mr. WHAtiNs—lt was a moonlight night, and I could see the two persons very distinctly. The gentleman who came over the bridge had on rather a broad-brimmed hat and a dark coat. I ran to opposite the new pier for the doctor. Three doctors went to the toll-house. By 11Ir. Cmutercus—The gentleman whom I saw with the broad-brimmed hat was at the toll-house talking, and I left him there when I went for the doctor. Richard Messenger, engineer, examined by Mr. BODKIN— Myself and wife crossed Battersea-bridge on the night of this occurrence, on the left-hand side from the Middlesex side of the bridge. I observed a man looking over the balus trade into the water, and as we passed him he turned round. He was dressed in a dark coat and broad brimmed hat. On getting to the toll-house I saw a woman lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound in her throat. The only persons on the bridge were that man, and and two men who were with a cart containing a dead horse. Just as we got to the man the cart passed us, but we over took it again at the toll-house, where it had waited, I sup pose, till the gate was opened. Mrs. Messenger, by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-4 saw a man on the bridge when passing with my husband on the night of the 29th of April. I saw no other person on the bridge except that man. I never said to the policeman that the man's trowsers were light. James Cook, by the Soucrrou-GENERAL--I am a coal porter, and on the night of 29th Ap r il I was standing near Chelsea Old Church, with my master's carman. It was about 25 minutes to eleven. I saw a man coming from the direction of the bridge. He was calling " police I police !" as if very agitated. He then ran up Church-lane, but almost immediately returned again, and said that a woman had cut her throat on the bridge. The man had, to the best of my recollection, a dark frock-coat on, and a broad brimmed hat, worn very much over his eyes. I saw the same man again on Saturday, the 11th May, in Wandsworth Police court. He was standing in the crowd, and I singled him out as the person I had seen on that night. The prisoner at the bar is the same man. He might be standing among sixty people when - I singled him out. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins—l was not before the Coroner, and I did not mention the circumstance of the man running to the . policeman. I don't know which way the man went after coming out of Church-lane. Before going into the Police Court I had some conversation with two policemen about my evidence. I have since seen a man whom I un derstand to be Mr. Mullins. I was quite sober on the night in question. By the Soucrrox-Gxxxftsaa--Mr. Mullins is not the man whom I saw, and heard calling police. John Timms—Was standing with Cooke in Church-street, and heard a man calling "Police, police r' It was between ten and eleven. He went up Church-lane, and afterwards walked away by the water-side, and on the opposite direc tion to Battersea-bridge. William Beadle by Mr. CriAatsnus—l live in Chelsea, and on the night of Monday, the 29th, I was passing near Chelsea Old Church. It was near eleven. I saw a man near the Cricketers. He was calling "police." I did not notice his dress. The prisoner is the man. I saw him again at the second examination at Wandsworth. By Mr. WILKINS—I did not give evidence before, as the superintendent of police said, I was not wanted. I knew the man before by sight, but did not iotice him particularly on the night in question. By Mr. CHAMBERS—I had seen him oftentimes during the previous five or six years. By Mr. Baron GURNEY--I am sure, from the little I saw of his face that night, that the prisoner and the man I had before known were the same. Mary Aim Nunn, by the Soucrron-GENERAL—I live at No. 17, Montpelier-square, Brompton, and the prisoner's daughter, Charlotte, lived next door to me. I saw the prisoner on the night of the 29th of April meet his daughter, He, I believe, had knocked at the railing. When they met he took hold of her hand, and they commenced talking together. She appeared flurried. After some little time he walked away, and she went towards her own house. Louisa Nunn examined by Mr. BODKIN—I recollect being at the window with Miss Nunn, when I noticed the pri soner and his daughter standing together. They appeared in earnest conversation. I heard her shriek. They might have remained together some four minutes after. She looked aghast, and I heard her call out " Oh, father, father." He seemed to go away in a very hurried manner. He said that he should call next morning at half-past seven. She said " No, at seven." He then left. By Mr. Wturixs—l am not a novel writer. I have no profession. lam living upon my independent property. Sarah Ann Miles, by Mr. CnAmmits—The prisoner lodged with my father. He occupied a room, for which he had a latch key. Sometimes he would go out of a Saturday and not come home till Tuesday afternoon. He went out on the night of the 29th of April, at nine o'clock. I did not see him, but knew his foostep, from his being lame. By Mr. Wnanis —I do not know that he was in difficul ties about money. By the SOLICITOR -GENERAL-:—I did not see him in his lodgings again that evening. Charles Miles,. by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I was the prisoner's landlord. On the night of the 29th April, a police man came to my house, at twelve, or about it. I have several lodgers, and one of them put a lighted candle, which he had discovered, into my hand. The candlestick was the one Dalmas had the use of, and it was not lighted when I came home at half-past nine. _ By Mr. Wibcms—l don't know that the prisoner was at times in difficulties. By Mr. Baron GmtHEY—When I had gone to bed about eleven there was no candle left burning on the staircase. Mary Nash—l lodge with Mr. Miles, and got up when the policeman came to the house. I found the lighted candle on the stairs, about three yards from the door. Fredenck Langton re-called and examined by Mr. CHAM BERS-4 went about twelve. on the night, of the 29th, to the residence of Miles, No. 12, Chapel-place, and found several letters in the prisoner's room. The jury were then allowed to retire for a short time, and the Court was ordered to be cleared of women and boys. The jury having returned, Robert Davis, a pawnbroker's assistant, produced a coat and handkerchief pledged by the prisoner in the name of John Mott, Compton-street, on the 30th April. Ellen Gibson. examined by Mr BODKIN-I am sister to de ceased. I saw her about one o'clock on the 29th of April, she was then in good health and spirits. Next time I saw her was at night at the bridge. I have known the prisoner •for eighteen years. He was pay ing his addresses to my sister. I saw him last in her company on the 9th of April. I have never seen him write, but I know his handwriting. I have seen and read letters from him, and he has asked why I did not answer them. lam sure these letters are his. Wm. M'Farlane examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am sixteen years of age, and am the son of the late Mrs. M'Far lane. I received a penknife from the prisoner about a fortnight before my mother's death. It contained four blades, two pen blade, a large one, and a half-file blade. I sharpened the large blade, and returned the knife to him on the 20th of April. William Cumming, No. 3D, examined by the Soucrron- GiNERAL-I was on duty at Marylebone-lane station-house on the morning of the 4th of May, and the prisoner was introduced to me. He told me that he was Augustus Dalthas, and that he wished to surrender, as he was haunted to death by the reports in the newspapers ; they were all wrong. He had some gin and cloves with the de ceased on the night of the occurrence, but he never crossed the bridge at all. He and the deceased had some strong observations on family affairs, she stating that his children were ungrateful to her, and that if his daughter, Augusta, was obliged to leave her situation, she would do no more for her. The only correct evidence before the Coroner was Charlotte's. By Mr. Wuxi:Ns—l am not sure whether he said Char. lotte or Augusta. _ [The trial was proceeding when we went to press.] < _ CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY. A young man, a tailor,named Andrews, lodging at the Fox and Hounds public-house, was charged with robbing Mr. Seddon, the landlord, of 41. and a watch, in conjunction with another person, not in custody. The prisoner has been lodging in the house for several months back. Yesterday morning it was discovered that the bar had been broken into and the property abstracted. The prisoner and the pot-man were nowhere to be found. Last night the landlord apprehended the prisoner at the Queen's Theatre, in Tottenham Court-road. He had 31. 16s. Bd. of the stolen money on his person, which he at once acknowledged was Mr. Seddon's property, acknowledged his guilt, and declared the pot-man had the watch. The prisoner was remanded, in order to afford time for the apprehension of the pot-man. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The inquest on the body of the child found in the privy of Captain J. S. Abbott's house, in Bath-road, has not yet ter minates; it was adjourned frem Saturday last to this day, and is again adjourned to Saturday next. The mother, who was a servant to Dr. Morrison, and lodging at this house, has absconded, her name is Mary Ann Gilbert. Mrs. Wee therall, mother of Mrs. Morrison, is summoned down from London to attend the jury on Saturday. There were no marks of violence on the child ; it was a fine, healthy-looking one, weighing about 6lbs., but nothing has been yet eluci dated to prove whether it was born dead or alive. It had been in the privy about three weeks. Drs. Hoffmeister and Cass were of opinion it had not breathed. The inquest on the body of Miss Mary Lock, of the Union Inn, who died suddenly on Tuesday morning, closed this afternoon. The jury found that she died from "natural causes." Reports had been circulated that she had poisoned herself, and it being ascertained that she had purchased laudanum at different chemists, the body was opened by Dr. Hoffmpister, who found the lungs in a very diseased state ; the state of the brain was also such as to justify the verdict of the jury.

FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. We have now to report that this town was never before so dull at this season of the year. Whether it is that the cry of the Queen's coming frightened the folk from visiting us, or from the great foreign attractions in London, certain it is that the Royal Yacht Squadron House, and the town gene rally, are deserted. _ _ All we know of the Royal residence is, that there hays been three maid servants of the Royal household at Osborne House, since the Ist of May. BRUSSELS, JUNE 11.—On Sunday, during the celebration of high mass, the steeple of the church of Ingel minster was struck by lightning. The electric fluid entered the church and wounded twelve persons; everybody rushed to the door, which occasioned some further acczeent, but no body was killed or very seriously hurt. CeMMISSION or LUNACY.—This morning a Com mission of Lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow and a jury of l 9 freeholders, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. George Rule, late a nurseryman' of Hockley, Essex, and now an inmate of Miles's Lunatic Asylum, Hoxton. The Commission was sued out by the mother of the alleged luna tic, and Mr. Teed,. Q.C., appeared in support of it. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the first symptons of aber ration exhibited themselves in 1839. In that year he came to London, put up at an inn, and ordered a most expensive entertainment. He went to the Tower, where he fanch d him self Prince Albert or the Duke of Wellington, and com menced cutting down the trees; he was taken into custody, and by direction of the Magistrate handed over to his friends. He sometimes refused to take his food, and on one occasion got a rope and attempted to hang himself. He had threat ened to kill his mother, and called himself a King and a Lord, and that he belonged to the Lord Chancellor. Dr. Haslon and Dr. Reed gave evidence as to the state of mind of Mr. Rule. He occasionally stripped himself naked, and plucked out his toe-nails. He considered the race of mankind made from sugar. The medical gentlemen were of opinion it was an utterly hopeless case. Mr. Rule was called in and ex amined by the Learned Commissioner, and continued talking in a very rapid and incoherent manner. The jury returned a verdict that Mr. George Rule was of unsound mind and in capable of managing his affairs, and had been so since th e Bth of November, 1839. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.-It was St. Leon's benefit, according to the bills, last night, and he played, be tween the acts of Don Giovanni, a fantasia, composed by himself on motives from Guillaume Tell, and exhibiting his well-known power of execution. The house was crowded, and the audience encored the duet, " La ci darem " (by For nasari and Persiani) and "Il mio tesoro" (by Mario). On Thursday next, it is said, Costa's opera of Don Carlos will be produced. Politics run so high amongst men elected to public offices in Southampton, that they would rather see the whole town burnt down than obtain water which was not from a Tory spring, to put it out. They have had another awful visitation, but these warnings are without any effect on such men. _ _ --------- INcimptiatisst.—lt will be remembered that Mr. Milner Gibson (who was formerly M.P. for Ipswich) a few evenings back, asked Sir James Grahatn, whether the atten tion of Government had been directed to the recent fear fully prevalent system of incendiarism in the counties of Suftblk, Norfolk, and Essex. The Hon. Member has now placed a notice on the books of the House of Commons, inti mating that it was his intention, " on the first supply night," to submit a " motion relative to the incendiarism now pre valent in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and parts of Essex." This is indefinite enough as regards the form in which the matter is to be brought under the attention of the House; but still it is gratifying to see that the Hon. Mem ber has taken the subject in hand. Nothing could be more unsatisfactory than allowing such a state of things to con tinue month after month, sub silentio, while the fires are in creasing constantly in number and atrocity There must be some cause for the evil. Ought not that cause be inquired into and investigated, and, if possible, remedied P—Advertiser. CHURCH -RATE.—Yesterday, a public vestry was held in the parish church of St. Mary's, Whitechapel, for the purpose of making a church and other rates; Mr. Thomas Sprinford, the renter-warden, in the chair. For some 3 ears the Rector and Church party in this extensive parish have sought to obtain a large rate, but the inhabitants have in variably swamped them, and have merely allowed a penny rate, which is scarcely sufficient to pay certain annuities and other purposes, non-ecclesiastical, which the law requires, so I that the servants of the parish are obliged to go upon short commons ; and some of them, the organist, for instance, have not been paid anything for the last year or two. The anti church-rate party mustered in a strong body, and under the guidance of Mr. Denton, a desperate opponent, to all parish abuses, and a determined opponent to church-rates, outvoted their opponents (who required a threepenny rate) by a ma jority of at least three to one, and merely a penny rate was granted. This was deemed a great triumph to the anti church-rate party, their opponents having for some months boasted of having a considerable majority of the vestry in favour of the higher rate.
