At the time of the occurrence I was on the opposite side of the deck, the starboard side. I was standing on the larboard side of the galley when the captain passed me. He told the cook to come out of the galley. I looked round and saw the steward stand ing at the galley door. I heard him say to the cook, " Come out of the galley." The cook said, "Let go me, and I'll come out." I walked aft, and on returning, I met the steward, who said, "It's done," and I said, " What's done ?" He gave me no answer, and I immediately went to the galley, where I found the captain lying on his back, and the mate holding his head. I saw blood around the captain's face. I then took hold of the Captain's head, while the mate went for plaster, and the knife with blood on it was shown to me by Smith, and shortly af terwards the other knife, but I do not know where he took it from. The captain was in a dying state. I saw the captain previously to the transaction. I did not see him drink anything, but cannot say that he was sober. He appeared like a man under the influence of liquor. I had previously seen him at other times when I thought he had been drinking. I had never observed a mutinous disposition on the part of the crew. Every man was willing cheerfully to do his duty. • Edward Wallace Hall, a seaman, gave similar testi mony. J ARIS via BOULOGNE.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF THE AMERICAN CAPTAIN. The examination of John Kent, the cook of the ship Thomas Bennett, charged with the murder of Captain Halsey, master of the said ship, took piece at the Police office, Liverpool, on Thursday at noon. The magistrates on the bench were, Edward Rushton, Esq., R. Houghton, Esq., Thomas Booth, Esq., and William Dixon, Esq. There were besides several gentlemen on the bench, who appeared to take much interest in the pro ceedings. 141 r. Davenport, solicitor, attended as advo cate for the prisoner. The case appeared to have excited the greatest interest, as the court was excessively crowded. A great number of captains and other sea faring men were present. The investigation occupied the attention of the court for three hours. The follow ing is the evidence given : William Gibbon examined—l am first mate of the Thomas Bennett. She is an American ship, and belongs to Charleston. The Captain was E. L. Halsey. We sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, the 3d of August, bound for Charleston. We put back, and arrived in Liverpool on the 14th. The prisoner was employed as cook on board, and sailed with us from Liverpool. The reason we put back was the murder of the captain, which occurred on Thursday, the Bth instant. We were in lat. 46 50, long. 9 57. I produce the log, in which I made an entry at the time. At three o'clock in the afternoon the captain went forward to the galley to see after some cooking. I was standing behind the mainmast. In about a minute, or two minutes at farthest, I heard a noise on deck. One of the boys came to me, and, in con sequence of what he said, I ran forward, and found the captain lying on his back on the deck. I saw a mark of blood on his left jaw. In less than one minute he was dead. I had hold of him when he died. He never spoke. I did not see the wound given. When I went up, the cook was standing by, quietly looking on. I cannot say that he had anything in his hand. The cook did not speak to me. I asked him how he came to do so horrid a deed ? his reply was, " Had I not done so the captain would have killed me." The reason I asked the question was, that no one but he was near to the captain. I am not aware there had been any previous quarrel between the captain and the cook. The cook was sober. The captain appeared to be under the excitement of liquor. There had been a previous dispute about the dinner. George Woods—l am a surgeon ; I have examined the body now lying in the deadhouse. There Isere twelve external injuries of a severe character—three on the upper portion of the sternum, three on the left side of the back, one on the outside of the left shoulder, one over the lower part of the sternum, one over the left lower jaw, one on the left side of the lower region of the spine, one on the posterior part of the right shoulder, and one in the upper part of the right breast. I conceive they have all been stab wounds; but Tam not quite certain as to the one over the left shoulder. [The knife was shown]. This is just such a weapon as would have in flicted such wounds. The character of the wounds was sufficient to have produced death. The principal wounds were on the right shoulder, and the other over the breast ; both penetrated the lungs. I consider that either of the last described wounds would have caused death. I have no doubt in the world that the wounds on the body were the cause of death. The whole of the evidence having been gone through, Mr. Rushton said—Prisoner, it is my duty to inform you that whatever you say will be written down, and if you should be tried here, in this country, will be read against you when you are tried ; therefore you need not say anything unless you choose. It is my duty, also, to tell you that this case having occurred at sea, under the American flag, I have some doubt whether you can be tried here or not ; however, supposing you can— that the authorities here will try you —or, that the Ame rican authorities who have a representative here, will claim jurisdiction ; I shall take care, if you are tried here, that you shall have the advantage of a trial as speedily as possible, for I will remand you till Monday, when the grand jury will be sitting. If they should hand you over to the American authorities, all these depositions will be forwarded to the tribunal before which you are tried. If you have anything now to say you can do so. The prisoner was about to speak, to give, as we under • stood, some statement or explanation of the case, but being advised by his solicitor, he said he should decline then to say anything. He stood remanded till Monday. CANDLES SUPERIOR IN THEIR BURN ING QUALITIES TO TIIE FINEST WAX are now retailed throughout the Country at One Shilling per lb.

MURDER AT MANCHESTER. APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER. (From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.) Information of the murder was transmitted to Liver pool, where Evans, it was ascertained, arrived about two o'clock. Here the case was taken up by Mr. Inspector Anders, one of our most active officers. After strict inquiry, the porter who carried the blue box from the railway was found, and Evans was taken into custody yesterday morning at two o'clock, by Mr. Anders, in a street near the Clarence Dock. The prisoner, on arriving here, went directly with the porter to the George's Pierhead, with the intention of proceeding by either the Mostyn Quay or Rhyl boat to Wales. After some conversation the porter persuaded him not to go with the steamer, as the weather was likely to be stormy and the water rough, and Evans then accompanied the man home. Whilst on the pierhead the strange de meanour of Evans excited the suspicion of one of the officers on duty there, who states that he almost felt in clined to apprehend him without a warrant or authority, being persuaded in his own mind that there was something wrong about him, he conducted himself so strangely. Mr. Anders took his prisoner to the police-office, High ' street, where he detained him till the following morning. 1 He then left by the seven o'clock train for Manchester, and the case would yesterday be brought before the authorities there. Whilst sitt.ng in the Police-office here, in the middle of the night, the prisoner killed a mouse which was playing about. He then remarked to those near him, with the utmost levity, that that was another murder he had committed. The whole of the stolen property, with the exception of the watch, was found in the possession of the prisoner. It does not amount in value to more than a few pounds. LATEST PARTICULARS.

It was the Bth of August. In the morning, between eight and nine o'clock, the captain ordered dinner to be on the table at half-past twelve o'clock. At a quarter past twelve o'clock the captain sent the cook to assist to hoist a studding sail. I then went aft to set the table, and the captain said, " This is one o'clock ; I told you to get it ready at half-past twelve." I then brought the kettle with the soup. The day before he had ordered that I was to bring the soup separate. I told him the soup was then ready, and he said, " Bring the dinner on the table." I then fetched the dinner, and put it on the table, and told him it was ready. He walked into the cabin and looked round, and saw that the dinner was on the table, and then ordered me to call the mates. The second mate, Alfred Grinnell, refused to come. The captain went to him, and asked him the reason he did not come to dinner. The second mate said he did not know that it was his (the captain's) orders that he should come. Tho captain then came and said, " God d—n you, you have cooked for the mates ; go and cook for me." I was going, and he called me back. He said, " You pay a d—d sight of attention to the mates, but cannot cook anything for me." I said lam willing to do anything I can and cook whatever is wanted. I then began to clear the table and put these things into the pantry. The captain came into the pantry and told me to go out of that—l bad no business there. I told him the things were dirty and must be cleaned. We were using white plates and dishes, and he told me he had given me orders never to put them on the table again. I said there were not sufficient of the others. lie said he did not care a d—n ; they should not go on the table any more. After this he called me into the cabin to draw off some brandy into a pint decanter. I mixed him some brandy and water and nutmeg. He then appeared to be milder, and I asked him what I sh ou ld coo k f or his dinner. He walked up and down the cabin, and then took another glass o f brandy. He then sa id , " Go get my di nner ." I then went into the galley ; there was soup ready, and I went back and told the captain dinner ; you have cooked' and he said " Go and get my for the mates." I asked him what I should get, and he a p peare d muc h exc it e d. I went and killed a fowl. In al most two m i nutes a f ter he came again for his dinner ; drove me from the galley, and said the cook should do it. I went to the pantry, and he drove me back again. I then went again to the galley, and asked the cook what I should do, and w the captain came. I h a d one foot in the ga ll e y. The c ook was in the gall ey ; he had brought in p o t a t oes . The captain said, " Gi ve me my dinner. " I to ld hi m ev erything was ready. I had a large black - handled c arving knife in my hand. Th hilst talking to the cook The captain seized the knife from my hand, and made a spring with one foot on the galley, and told the cook to come out of the galley. He seized the cook either by the shirt or neck on the left side. The captain, on going into the galley, pushed me so that one of my legs got between the spar aad the water cask. The captain said, " God d—n you, come out of the galley." The cook said " Let me go, Captain Halsey, and I will come out." The captain had hold of the cook with the right hand. In pulling him out of the galley, the cook, I thought, struck him. I cannot s ay with which hand the cook struck, from the position in which I stood. The captain took the knife with his left hand from me. They both came out of the galley together, the captain being first, pulling the cook. I then saw blood on the captain's right jaw, but I was fast with the spar. They got on deck, and I liberated myself, and ran round the galley for the second m ate. I di d not re t urn t o th e g alley. I saw the capt a i n d ead as they were b r i ng i ng him into the cabin. At the time of the affray I think there were men at work near to the galley. The boy was there. [Mr. Rushton here ordered that the boy Thomas Ewens, who was on board the Thomas Bennett, lying in the river, near Woodside, should be sent for.] I gave the captain, on that morning, before breakfast, a wine-glass of brandy and bitters. After breakfast he had a good deal of brandy—filled over and over. He was not sober that morning. He was intoxicated. He had not been sober from the Mon day before. I had sailed with the captain twenty years ago, when he was second mate, and also when he was master of the William Gibson. I had not sailed before with him in the Thomas Bennett. I shipped with him in Charleston, and was proceeding with the vessel on her return. Coming this way we had not so much liquor. lam an American citizen, and belong to New York. The quantity of brandy he had drunk that day was over a pint. The captain, on going from Liverpool, appeared flighty each day. He appeared quite a different man after leaving Liverpool- I did not see the captain make any blow with the carving knife after taking it from me. Albert Grinnell produced the knives. [The one with which the cook had stabbed the captain is a sailor's ordi nary knife, and apparently but in p 3or order. The one from the which the captain too k steward was a long carving knife, but exceedingly slender, being nearly worn away.] Monro cross- examined—The cook had sailed with the captain before. The captain has told me he would rather have that man (meaning the cook) than any one else, and said ho gave him ten shillings extra pay. I was fri htene reason I ran away wa s, g d of being killed.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—This morning, Evans, the murderer of Jane Millen, was brought up at the Borough Court, at twelve o'clock, before Mr. Maude, the stipendiary magistrate, where he underwent a long examination, the proceedings occupying upwards of five hours. The whole of the evidence went to substan tiate the facts sent yesterday. The Court was crowded the whole of the time, and the prisoner appeared to treat the whole affair with considerable indifference, occa sionally interrupting the witnesses and cross-examining them. It was proved that he was in the house about an hour before the murder was committed, and that no other person had been seen or heard near the place. There were several marks of blood upon his person. An instrument made of iron, something after the shape of a life-preserver, was found in the house, and was tinted with blood. Mr. Sinclair, surgeon, who had examined the body, gave it as his opinion that the wounds on the head and neck caused death, and that they were inflicted whilst the unfor tunate woman was alive, and that the iron instru ment produced would inflict such wounds as were found about her head. The husband of the decased woman thus dese►ibes her appearance when found : " When I got her out of the coal-closet she was quite dead. She was bleeding at the nose, ears, and mouth, and her tongue was protruded very much and greatly swollen ; her neck was very much discoloured, and also greatly swollen ; her head was cut and bruised and presented an awful spectacle." At the close of the case the prisoner insisted on making his statement, not withstanding repeated cautions of the magistrate. A great deal of his statement was quite irrelevant to the charge. Speaking of the day of the murder he said, " I got up on Wednesday morning about eight o'clock, as near as I can recollect ; I went into the back yard and washed myself. I put on my cap, and just as I was going to the lobby to get my jacket to go out, this woman (one of the witnesses) came with the water to the door, and Mrs. Millen asked me to take in this water as she was not well. I just tipped' one of them in, and that was all. I put on my jacket, and went out. I was going to the same public-house I was at in Oldham road on the previous day. I missed my tobacco-box, and I returned for it. I went up stairs and found it on the table. There was no person in the house. I went into the kitchen and lighted my pipe, and smoked it. No person came, and so I went up-stairs, and got what I wanted. I took whatever I thought proper, for the drawers were not locked. I then put them all in the lobby and went for the cab to drive me to the station." The prisoner, after accounting for the blood upon his person in his own way, said, " I know no more of the death of Mrs. Millen than any human being under the sun." He was committed to take his trial at the pre sent Liverpool Assizes on the charges of murder and robbery. IMPORTANT DISCOVERT.—The attention of the iron-masters has been attracted to a process of consider able importance lately introduced into their manufacture. The application of electricity, to supersede several of the expensive processes, has, it is stated, been tried in the Welsh and Derbyshire furnaces with satisfactory results. It appears that the costly fuel and labour required for the purification of the ore from sulphur, phosphorus, and subtle elements, create its high market value, and these being all electro-negative, have induced the new process, whereby the impure stream of metal after flowing from the blast is in its moment of consolidation subjected to a powerful voltaic battery, which so disengages the impure components that in the process of puddling they are readily extracted. The London blacksmiths, it is stated, have tested this iron after a single reheating, and pro nounce it the best metal in the market. By the same process an experiment was tried by Dr. Ure, by whom a soft rod of iron was held in contact with a moderate red heat, and that gentleman is understood to have stated that in a few hours the metal was converted into steel. Should these facts prove what they seem, they are calcu lated to affect most seriously this important branch of our trade.---Newcastle Advertiser. PREMISES SET ON FIRE IN DESTROYING A WASPS NEST.—On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, an out house upon the premises of Mr. Bodger, of Childerditch, was discovered to be on fire. Assistance quickly arriv ing, a stack of straw standing near was speedily removed, otherwise the barns and other buildings must hare fallen a prey to the flames, the wind blowing in a direction to increase the devastation. Inspector Burton, of the police force, observing the fire at a distance, hastened to the spot, and, from information he obtained,. was in duced to take into custody John and Charles Pigott, the former seventeen and the latter fourteen years of age. They were examined before the Rev. J. Lewis, on Monday, the Right Hon. Lord Petre also attending, and the prisoners stated that they were about d to n e bur M n a wasp's nest, when the fire they had kinar r. Bodger's outhouse increased beyond their control, and ignited the building. They were committed for trial at the assize, but it was understood would be released on procuring bail.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia left the Le gition yesterday morning shortly before ten o'clock in one of the royal carriages, and, accompanied by his suite, proceeded to the Middlesex side of Westminster-bridge, where the Waterman steamer, No. 12, was in waiting to receive the royal party. Upon alighting his Royal Highness was conducted on board the steamer by Baron Thill, and the whole of the party having embarked, the vessel let go her moorin,;s, and dropped down the river at a slow rate, affording the Prince an excellent opportunity of observing the mode in which tha traffic of the " great metropolis" is carried on. The steamer having proceeded under London bridge, passed through the pool, and made her way ra pidly past Poplar and Limehouse, toDeptford and Green wich, where the speed was again slackened to enable the Prince to take a hasty observation of the dockyard at the former, and the magnificent hospital at the latter place. The steamer proceeded onwards as far as Blackwell pier, on arriving opposite which she put hack, and in the course of a very few minutes reached the Tunnel pier, where his Royal Highness landed, and, accompanied by his suite, proceeded to the entrance of this great work, where Sir Isamb.!rt Brunel and the Secretary to the Company were in attendance to receive the royal party. After walking twice through the arches, his Roy - al High ness and suite took their departure, entering the car riages, which had previously arrived, and driving direct to the London Docks, where the royal party were re ceived by several of the Directors. His Royal Highness walked down the principal jetty, and afterwards inspected the great vault. On leaving the docks Om royal party proceeded to the Bank of England, where they were re ceived by Mr. Cotton, the Governor, Mr. Heath, Deputy- Governor, and several of the Directors, by whom they were conducted through the various offices; and subsequently his Royal Higness partook of a splendid dejeuner prepared for the occasion, which was served in the Bank parlour. His Royal Higness remained at the Bank considerably more than an hour, and upon leaving expressed himself much gratified with all that he had seen. From the Bank the royal party proceeded to the Tower, where they were received by Colonel Gurwood, and conducted by that gentleman over this ancient fortress. From thence his Royal Higness proceeded to the British Museum, where he was received by Mr. Paniezzi, the librarian, and Mr. Forshall, the secretary, who conducted the distinguished party through the libraries to the Egyptian Saloon, and through the Gallery of Antiquities ; after inspecting which his Royal Highness was compelled to retire, with out viewing the other portion of the colloction, in conse quence of the advanced period of the day.

After dinner, his Royal Highness proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, which was drunk with all the honours ; after which the band, who were stationed in an adjoining apartment, played the National Anthem. His Excellency Chevalier Bunsen next gave the health of the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family. 'i'he Duke of Cambridge next proposed the health of the King of Prussia, which was followed by that of his Royal highness the Prince of Prussia, proposed by his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Prince of Prussia next rose, and with consider able emphasis gave "Field Marshal the Duke of Wel lington, the Hero of Waterloo," a sentiment which it is hardly necessary to say was received with the greatest enthusiasm, the band striking up " See the conquering hero comes." The ladies retired at this period, and after a short in terval the Duke of Cambridge again rose, and concluded a few eulogistic remarks by proposinc , the health of the Princess of Prussia, which was responded to by the com pany will all the honours. The Marquis of Londonderry subseqnently gave as the last toast of the evening, " The Prussian Army, and the memory of Prince Blucher."

FRIDAY EVENING.—A highly influential meeting of the leading gentlemen connected with the above tradeitt this district, has just been held at the Royal Oak, Dud ley Port, Tipton, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the great decrease in the sales of South Stafford.. shire coal in the midland counties, occasioned by the late sudden rise in the tonnage rates of the Warwick and Birmingham, Warwick and .Napton and Coventry canals, and to determine on the propriety of laying before tlic: Board of Trade a memorial stating the difficulties, bur thensome regulations, and heavy compensation and: mileage tolls to which the products of South Stafford-. shire are subject, in passing from the Birmingham canal to the midland counties and the metropolis ; also to de termine on the propriety of taking the necessary step for obtaining from Parliament, in the next session, power to shorten and improve the navigation communication between Birmingham and London. Amongst those pre sent were Messrs. P. J. and H. Williams, J. E. Piercy, Esq., R. Scott, Esq., M.P. for Walsall, and chairman of the Birmingham Canal Company, and Messrs. J. Haines, V. Houghton, J. Bagnall, J. Spittle, T. Bolley, T. Jer son, J. Tilsley, and many other principals of the largest establishments in the trade. Mr. J. Williams having been called to the chair, reso lutions to give effect to the objects for which the meeting was called were unanimously agreed to. SIIRIMPS.—The office of shrimps, says a writer in the Penny Cyclopedia, seems to be analogous to that of some of the insects on land, whose task it is to clear away the remains of dead animal matter after the beasts and birds of prey have been satiated. If a dead small bird or frog be placed where ants have access to it, those in sects will speedily reduce the body to a closely-cleaned skeleton. The shrimp family, acting in hosts, as speedily remove all traces of fish or flesh from the bones of any dead animal exposed to their ravage. They are, in short, the principal scavengers of the ocean ; and, notwith standing their office, they are deservedly and highly prized as nutritious and delicious food. BELGIUM.--It is interesting to observe, in the Belgian papers, the announcements of cheap travelling to England, as if a trip to London were as usual a summer occupation with our continental neighbour as it used to be with our country neighbours at this season. We are informed that in Cologne, Aix, Herbesthal, Ostend, Antwerp, and Brussels, passengers may he booked through to London, at one fare, by single tickets. From Cologne to London you may be booked for 31. 10s. first class, and 2/. 7s. second class. To Aix, la-Chapelle the price is the same. There is also this additional advantage to travellers on this route, that if you wish to stop on the way, you may do so as often as you please; the ticket given you lasts a month, a certain portion being cut off at each principal stopping place.
