The Parliamentary Intelligence of the Evening, being a full Report of the Proceedings in the House of Commons up to a Quarter before Seven. THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN." In have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en tirely with the News -agent who serves them, and who thereby not only injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is stillfurther aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post 'Tice fee) being inade for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition. ¶'his Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a laarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together frith the Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official Prices of Shares in Railways, tr. dc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds — The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Second or Evening Edition goes to press. In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE nouns ire ADTVICE, a matter of importance to those who want early intelligence. In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night, the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, de. dc., will answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly. Respectable Agents will a'ways supply the proper paper; but where any wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " Ths Ban" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their representations.

I. read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. The Heritable Jurisdiction (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The second reading of the Infeftment (Scotland) Bill was postponed for a week. Lord ASHLEY moved the second reading of the Calico Print- works Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM would not oppose the second read ing of the Bill, because he thought that some legisla tive enactment was necessary on the subject, but he begged to be understood as not pledging himself to the details of the measure. On the contrary, there were many of the proposed provisions of which he highly disapproved, and it would be his duty to pro pose several material alterations in Committee. Lord ASHLEY, although he regretted the loss of some advantages which he had hoped to attain by the present measure, yet thought it so important to secure the co-operation of the masters and of the Go vernment that he would accede ` to the Right Hon. Baronet's proposition. After an interesting discu:sion, in which Mr. M. GIBSON, Mr. COOPER, Mr. HuME, Mr. T. DUN COMBE, Mr. ESCOTT, and Lord F. EGERTON took part, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday next. The order of the day for the House going into Committee of Supply was then read, when Sir JOHN EASTHOPE brought forward the case of two persons imprisoned at Leicester for non-payment of poor-rates. Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply, stated that he had made inquiries into the case, and had advised her MAJESTY to order the immediate liberation of the parties alluded to. Mr. T. DuzicomßE said that the intended mercy of the Right Hon. Baronet would come too late, as the term of the sentence of the parties imprisoned would terminate the day after to-morrow. The House then went into Committee, and a vote for 1,111 men having been agreed to, the House resumed. The Bill for the Protection of the Treasures of Art in Museums then passed through Committee ; after which the LORD-ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in aßill for the Letter administration of the laws relating to the relief of the poor in Scotland, which was read a tirst time, and the House adjourned. The speech of Sir CHARLES NArma of Monday night last, upon that which should have been a mo tion for a Committee on the construction of steam ships-of-war, and the present condition of our steam navy—was full of details calculated to excite the most anxious interest in the mind of every English man. We can imagine no facts of a more weighty character than those enunciated by this gallant and distinguished officer, in that peculiar and effective manner which never fails to add force and point to his argument. But there are circumstances in the present condition of this country's relations with foreign powers, which impart to them a degree of intense interest, of unspeakable importance. For, be it observed, the allegations of which we are about to give an outline, were not attempted to be contra dicted by the official authorities to whom they were addressed. With some such qualification, only, as that supplied by Sir GEORGECOCKBURN, who re minded Sir CHARLES that, though many of our armed steamers had now become old craft, one of them only had been brOken up. These formidable allegations of erroneous construction, of wanton ex penditure, of incessant alterations, cuttings-down, lengthenings, and reductions, defective principles of naval architecture, and bigoted adhesion to the school producing these defective models, were tacitly affirmed by those parties who are, in fact responsible for so much permitted mismanagement. Let us look the hazards we are running, by the longer endurance of such a state of things, full in the face. If we do not, shall we fondly ima gine ourselves fully prepared for any and all exi gences that may arise out of a rupture with America, or France, or any combination of naval States of inferior power ? We go all lengths with those who entertain the most unhesitating confidence in the ex tent to which the moral constancy, the physical courage, and the indomitable resolution of our sailors can outweigh the enormous odds of material force, by their calm energy and characteristic prowess. But there maybe, andin the unhappy event of a war there speedily would be, in refereLce to that condition of our navy and its steam arm, described on Monday night in the House of Commons, such an overwhelm ing disparity of means arrayed against us, whenever circumstances might enable our enemy to collect and concentrate them—that it is the most imperative duty of the Government to anticipate and provide against such a contingency, by securing to this country a war steamer force of unmatched efficiency, extent, and power. It was not an unreasonable expression of surprise indulged in by Sir C. NAPIER that there should be so much reluctance to grant the Committee of Inves tigation he was desirous to have appointed, seeing that, during a peace of thirty years' duration, in the course of which between forty and fifty millions sterling had been expended on our navy, it might have been expected that her Majesty's Government would have been prepared to submit to all the world a statement that should demonstrate that navy to be noes in a condition of the utmost possible efficiency. But in truth, without invidiously reflecting on the existing Board of Admiralty, have we not a full right to infer enormous incompetency or mal-administration in this important branch of Executive authority, or that other argument suggested by the same Gallant Officer to show that the Board in question gave a better representation of the state of the navy than facts could warrant. For if, sail he, the present much increased estimates are not necessary for repairs, and making good present deficiencies, there could be no reason for withholding the returns he wanted. If they were necessary, they would suf fice to fit out a fleet of fifty sail of the line. But if vast sums were now to be expended on repairs, why was not due supervision exercised over these matters? If ships were kept in a condition of timely as well as efficient repair, there would be a great saving of the public money ; and the enormous number of useless hulks and other craft in dock might be sold, as they ought to be, and thus a very considerable sum mould be raised, applicable to the putting in an effective condition a great many fine ships which ought to be thus restored without loss of time. But, was ever a cage laid more startling or more stringent on this point for the necessity of such a Commission or Com missioner as Sir C. NAPIER would have asked for " to inquire into the syste.n pursued in the con struction of steamers for her Majesty's navy, and the application of Parliamentary votes for the building of such steam-ships," than was suggested by the various cases of failure and mismanagement be cited? There had been built the Retribution, of 1,640 tons,—larger than a sailing frigate,—which, when completed, was found to be unable to carry a gun on her main deck, whilst it was also impossible to fire off her stern guns. Then there was a still larger ship of 1,840 tons that had bren so built, it was not practicable to run her guns out! She had no stern posts; though he had heard two were afterwards cut in her. The Samson came under the same category; though she had the additional defect of having her machinery worse placed than in any other craft. So high, in short, that a shot could not enter her engine-room without utterly demolishing her machinery. The Firebrand, one of the experimental squadron, had been pro nounced by Captain CORRIE, a most able and compe tent officer, who had sailed in her, to be perfectly useless. The Cyclops had been built for a frigate ; it was found she could not carry guns on her main deck, so she was cut down to a corvette; and the sooner the same operation was peformed on the Gor gon, also a steamer frigate, the better. Then there had been twenty-four steam-ships built, atcost, for the whole, of about 462,00 0 1 .; the cost of a their machi nery being, probably, about as much more. The Gallant Officer entered into many technical details to show that from the hi g h an d exposed position in which the machinery was placed in each of these sloops, it would be, in action, liable to the same fatal disasters as he had pointed out with respect to the Samson. Eight new steam-packets, built at a cost of 58,0001. each, exclusive of machinery, he objected to on similar grounds ; and the Admiralty Lords ap peared to be neither prepared nor able to inva lidate those grounds. The Centaur had been built, and another new steam-ship was building, on the same plan as the Vulture, and ha bought their construction dangerous from 611 defective osition of their machinery. This long catalogue of fearful blunders—disgraceful, we might rather call them, in the first maritime Power in the globe, was wound up by the repert of the Queen—a much-cracked first-rate, on the Surveyor's new construction, which had been taken into Sheerness-yard, where it was found necessary to give her a new bow, and a fake stern. The Boscawen, a new 70 gun-ship, had been taken to pieces again. The Union, the Severn, the Porcupine (20 guns), the Sea-lark, (10), the Tigris, and the Iris, had been likewise all pulled to pieces. 'We assume that this scandalous exposition is also a true one. It met with no denial. It can never chal lenge an adequate degree of indignation and surprise in the public. It is a lesson from which, if the Ad miralty do not profit, the country will, by dislodging the Admiralty. But we have better hopes of the latter now, thanks to this exposition. Sir GEORGE COC-f - BURN made the best fight he could for it ; and he did better. He admitted that many of Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S hints were most valuable, and pledged him• self to the immediate and careful attention of his de artment to this vital subject, with a readiness to call for and receive information, which induces us to hope that we shall soon be rid of that incubus on naval architectural improvement— the " intuitive " principle of Sir WILLIAM SYMOND'S construction—and all the absurdities and failures to which his " wedge" has been driven. The "discovery" has now had a full and often-repeated trial; and it consists neither with the dignity nor the safety, the renown nor the power of Great Britain, to put the noblest of her national inheritances, the grandest element of her political and natural power, the supremacy of the seas, on the maintenance of an uninterrupted Admiralty patronage to the most costly, as well as unlucky, Surveyors-General of her navy, of whom we remember to have read. Accounts from Madrid of the 26th ult. state that twenty persons had been arrested on that day in the capital, and committed to prison without being allowed to communicate u ith their friends or counsel. One of the persons arrested, a notary, named PONTADA, fired a pistol at the police and wounded one of the constables. According to the Government journals, the parties were implicated in a plot to restore EseanzEao, but we be lieve this statement to be entirely without foundati.m. At the meeting of the Senate on the 26th, SenorCAßMco asked the Minister of Finance whether any concession had been mace to France injurious to the Spanish tariff, or was incontemplation ? Senor MON replied in the nega tive. No concession had been made to France, but if the Noble Peer alluded to the refusal of the French Ministry to allow the Spanish Three per Cents. to be quoted on the Bourse, he must decline answering the question. The Three per Cents. c'wed at 34 3 16 for cash, and 344 at 60 days ; the Five lYsr Cents. at 251 . for cash, and 23 15-16 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 2t4 at 60 dai s ; and the Debt without interest, at 8, at 56 days. The French Chamber of Peers, after discussing for several days a modifiel Bill against jobbing in railway Companies, rejected it, on Tu?seay, by a majority of 86 against 51. Count D'ARGOUT, Baron Durex, and almos every practical man in the Chamber were oppozed to die scheme, and the result, consequently, was placed beyond doubt, even at the introduction of the measure. The Deputies were engaged in the Sardinian treaty. An amendment was proposed, to continue the high dot) on cattle imported from Sardi►,ia, and resisted by the Government, on the ground that it was necessary t., protect the consumer as well as the agriculturist. The former duty on cattle was far too high, and the conse- quence was, that the price of butcher's meat had greatly increased throughout the whole of France. The Chamber rejected the amendment, and adhered to the lower scale of duty In resisting the amendment, M. G tazoT thus stated his opinions, and the resolution of the Go• vernment to make the carrying of the treaty a Cabinet question:—" In 1842, when the amendment was carried on the right of search, the Government could accept the amendment, after having opposed it, the general policy of the Cabinet not being involved in it, as the results had proved.—(llissent.) Three days back why had the Government accepted the amendment on the Del- gian treaty? Because the rights of the Crown were re spected. In the question at present before the Chamber that was not the case, for if the amendment of M. MAURAT BALLANGJ were adopted, the treaty would fall to the ground at once, and the policy of the Government beyond the Alps would be compromised. We eanno' lend ourselves to such weaknesses. When two months back we remained in power, at the solicitations of our friends, we felt that we must expect difficulties and an- We have more than once despised vain clamours, in order to maintain our policy and steer it s tfely through difficult trials. But to support trials and disappointment in order to behold this policy compro mised and perhaps destroyed—that we shall never con sent to. In the amendment which you discuss, it is our policy itself that is involved. 'We shall defend it firmly to the last extremity; and if it is to be changed and de stroyed, that destruction shall n't be attempted under my name and by my tiaras." The Ministerial paper, the Globe, thus ridicules the attempt of the Opposition to raise the price of meat:— "The Hall of Conference resembled on Monday the tent of Napoleon during the night that preceded the battle of Aus terlitz; the emperor, M. Thiers, was surrounded by his mar shals; he gave his instructions, and dispatched his aides de camp. The corps of M. Maurat Ballange was to attack on the left; M. Billault was to make a strong demonstration in the centre, and the moment the enemy's racks were thrown into confusion, M. Thiers was to charge in person and deckle the victory. But, alas! the Opposition experienced the fate that befel the unfortunate Melas the day of the battle of Marengo; the couriers who were to carry the news of the victory left too soon, and he had to send off others to an- nounce his defeat. The corps of M. Maurat Ballange was overthrown ; that of M. Dezeimeris was routed; another, under M. Gautier de i nmilly was put to flight; and, after the speech of M. Guizot, the coalesced army shamefully retreated, without noise, reserving their last cartridges, which they were afraid to fire. The rout was so complete, that they (lid not even dare to avow their intention to give battle. Poor M. Maurat Ballange, who devoted himself; like Curtius, was completely abandoned, and his own friends, heedless of so much courage thrown away, only witnessed his ridicule." The latest accounts from Swi; z-rland lead to a belief that a collision will soon take placs between the parties. The Journal des Dehats says : " According to the news we receive from Switzerland the free corps hare made their first move. In the evening of the 29th the Bale. country volunteers are said to have taken two cannon and a quantity of ammunition from the arsenal of Leichthal, and with thorn joined the free corps of Arau. It was generally reported that Lucerne was to be attacked on the 30 th, on which day the volunteers of Soleure were also to march. The Government of Berne had on its part taken energetic measures for preventing the free corps of that canton from l eav i ng i t. It i s c e r tain that the radi ca l com mittee at Ara u h as b een i n permanent sitting for th e l ast fortnight, and has publicly enrolled the refugees from Lu cerne and volu n t eers f rom other cantons. In the cant ons o f Argau, Berne, Soleure, and Bale country . , no obstacle has been thrown in the way of men moving to join the free corps, and who were easily recognised by the shape of their hats and their arms, which they conveyed in carts. On the other hand the Government of Argau is restrained by the fear that during the excursion of its volunteers the Catholic party may rise. The Vorort had also called out the whole of the federal contingent, and had taken measures to mobolise the Land. Sturm. The first battalion of the Austrian troops, intended to form a corps of observation on the Voralberg frontier of Switzerland, had amved at Feldkirch." We have accounts also from other parts of Switzer land, describing the unsettled state of the public mind, and the preparation of the adjoining States to cut off all communication with the country unless these civil broils are speedily settled.

Mr. Wakley, the Coroner for Middlesex, having appointed ten o'clock this morning for the holding of the inquest on the body of the unfortunate woman, Mary Brothers, who was so inhumanly murdered in a brothel, in George-street, St. Giles's, on Monday night last, the jury summoned for the occasion met at the Angel Inn, High-street, near St. Giles's Church, and their names having been called over, Mr. WAKLEY, before administering the oath, inquired if any one were present who could identify the body ? The husband of the murdered woman was introduced, and to questions from the Coroner, said that he had seen the body, which was that of his wife, Mary Brothers. He had been married to her 15 years before, but after their separation she had gone by another name—that of Ann Tape. The jery (15 in number) were then sworn, and Mr. Rogers, tobacconist, of High-street, Finsbury, was chosen foreman. Mr. MILLS, the Deputy- Coroner, asked 11 arvey, the beadle, if any one were present who had been with the woman at her death ?—The beadle answered in the affirmative. The CORONER then said that the jury had better go and see the body. None but jurymen could then be admitted; but if the gentlemen from the press desired it, they would be ed mitted afterwards. Harvey—l have not the key of the house. I asked for it, but it was refused me. Inspector Rawley—l have got the key in my possession, and 1 am ready to accompany the gentlemen of the jury to the house in George-street. The Coroner and jury then left to see the body. After an absence of half an hour the Coroner and jurymen re-entered the inquest-room. Police-constable, William Willis, 64 E, examined—l am employed at the George-street station-house, and while on duty there as gaoler on Manday night, the 31st March, a woman named Palmer came with police-con stable Allen and stated that a man had been stabbing a woman, at No. 11, George-street. I then was directed by my inspector to go to the house with them. I did so, and there pry cured a candle, and saw three or four women standing at the door of the room on the left side of the passage. I went into that room, and saw the deceased with her back against the fire-place, her head bent down ; and I heard a gurgling noise in her throat. She was bleed ing greatly from the left side of her neck, and there was much blood at her side. I raised her head, and saw a wound above her left shoulder, and a knife sticking in it. I desired constable Allen to pull it out, and he after wards went for the surgeon. Mr. Fitzgerald came in less than ten minutes, but the woman was quite dead. She did not speak or move from the time I first saw her, and the gurgling in her throat ceased in about tour minutes. I then locked the door. I did not see any person in the house charged with having caused the death of the woman. There. was another room adjoining that in which I saw the woman, and on a bed there 1 saw marks of blood. There was a window there with a saw in it. I sew marks of blood on the wainscoting, as if the blood had spurted there. Mr. Mu:es—Have you got the knife? Witness—No, Sir; constable Allen has. Allen. the constable, produced the knife. It was a common sized black handled table- knife, sharpened to a point, and encrusted with blood. Mr. Wseeies asked the witness why he had not himself taken the knife from the wound. It was better, in these cases, to limit the number of witnesses as much as possible. The constable said—l was engaged at the time assisting the woman. I have known the woman by sight, in the street, for about three years. I believe I saw her about half past eight o'clock on the night of the murder. Ido not know where she lived. There were three other women standing at the door of the room, one of whom had a candle in her hand. Mrs. Hall is the landlady of the house. The woman Palmer, who came to the station-house, ie the servant, and, I believe, lives in the house. (The station-house is within a minute's walk of the house where the murder was committed.) Palmer came to the station-house about ten minutes to eleven o'clock. Mary Palmer, an old woman, was next examined. She stated that she was a widow, and lived at 13, Church- street, St. Giles's. I used to cell fruit for my living, but latterly I have been employed to clean, and act in the capacity of a servant, at Mrs. Hall's, 11, George-street. Mr. Hall is the landlord ;he pays me my wages. I did not know the mur • dered woman by the name of Mary Brothers, but by the name of Mary 'tape. Tape is the name of a shoemaker wi h whom she had lived. I du not know her ace. I was never told it was forty-five. I saw her last alive about a quarter to eleven o'clock on the night of Monday last. She came to the parlour-door of the house and asked for a three penny room. A man was with her. I had never seen him before, and I do not know his name. I think I should know him again. I lit a candle and gave it to the woman. The man did not speak. He gave me the threepence. I did not see anything in his hand. I noticed his dress. He wore a velveteen coat, which came down to his knees, with pockets at the sides. It was of a very dark colour by the candlelight. He had a sealskin cap on his head, and wore light brown trousers. His coat was closely buttoned. The woman said nothing more, and they went into the room together. I should think the man was about thirty years of age. He was very dark, with black hair, and small dark whiskers. I did not notice the colour of his eyes. He had a long pointed nose. Neither of them were drunk. I sat down on the stairs, and in about five minutes after : heard the woman cry " Murder." I went to the door of the room, and she repeated the cry three times. I knocked at the door, and asked what was the matter? I heard no scuffling or noise. The man made no answer. The door was bolted, and I could not get in. The room that they were in was the middle room, where the bed was. Mr. MILLS—Did you burst the door open ?—Tes. 31r. MlLLs—Which door was that?—The one that the blood was in. Mr. MILLS—When you burst open the door what did you see ? When I burst open the door the woman was sitting on the bed. Mr. Mitt.s—What was the man doing?—He was standing over her in this way—(The witness held up her hand clenched behind her own neck)—and I thought he was hit ting her. Mr. MILLS—Was his side or back towards you?—Hie side was towards me, for he was facing the woman. Mr. Aliens—Did you see him strike her ?—No ; his hand was lifted up, and I said, " Don't you strike her no more." With that he turned round. Mr. MlLLs—Did you see anything in his hand at the time? —No, Sir, nothing Mr. Altus—Did ho let his hand fall? No, Sir, not then. Mr. AlteLs—What did you say to him ?—I said, "You have hit the woman enough, do not hit her any more." Mr. MILLS—What did the man say then ?-1 - le took his hand away and ran out of the room. Mr. Altus—Did be run past you ?—I caught him by the coat, but he got away, and ran out immediately without say ing anything. Mr. Miens—Did you see that he left anything behind him ? Nothing but the knife. The woman got out of the bed herself and came into the next room. She then gave a bit of a stagger, and down she fell at the fire-place. Mr. Aliees—Did you se say noth ingood? ? Not She was a word, Scovered ir. Mr. Alius—Did e any bl with blood, and a pool of blood was beside her. Mr. MILL s—Whet did you do then? I ran out to the front door and said " Mistress, mistress, here is a woman murdered." A policeman came into the house and pulled the knife out. Mr. Mu:Ls—Did you see the knife? Yes, I saw it in the policeman's hand. Mr. Mietes—Did you see it before? Yes, in the policeman's hand in the room. The policeman said it was in five inches. Mr. Mu:es—When did you see the woman before this day for the first time ? I did not see her before she went to the hospital, about two years ago. Mr. Alms—When was she in the house before ? About three weeks before, but not with the same man. I never saw the same man before. Mr. Mlles—What was he like ? He was about the middle size, dark, and he walked pretty straight. Mr. Altus—Do you believe that was the man that stabbed the woman? He was th e onl y one that went in with h er. The Foreman—When the y came in and p aid y ou the three pence, was there any person in the passage ? No, trot one, sir. Mr. MILT e--- Have you heard an y one sa y that they know the man ? Yes, two women, who said that they knew him. A Jerror—llow long were they in the room together. About seven minutes altogether. A Jul or—Did you see him after you got to the door? I saw him turning the corner of Broad-street when I got to the door. Mary Hall examined —I live at No. 11, George -street. My husband's name is John. He is a leather-dresser, and rents the house from Mr. Grout. Ido not know what Mr. Grout is, or where he lives. He lives somewhere in the country. He comes for his rent every week. Ido not know what rent my husband pays. The furniture belongs to Mr. Grout. I was in the house when the man and woman came, but I did not see them there. Palmer gave me the 3d., but she said no thing to me. They came in about ten minutes to eleven, and in about seven minutes I heard Palmer cry that a woman was murdered, and I ran for assistance. The man ran past me in the passage and p ushed me aside. There was no light there that I could see him by, for the light was in the room: He said nothing when he ran past 'nee and I did not know him at all. I knew theL,woman well. She lodged with me about five or six months, but I had not seen her since she left me, sometime ago. Her sister used to come to see her while she was with me. She did not live with any man while lodging with me, neither did any man come to see her. She was a quiet, sober woman. I never...saw her intoxicated. She never told me that any one had threatened her life. I do not know where she lodged after she left me. I do not suspect any hold of his coat one, nor from what I have since heard do I suspect any one, except the person who was with her at my house. Ido not know the man who is suspected of having murdered her. I never saw him before the night in question. He rapidly M . Altus said, that if they had passed me in the passage, and pushed me aside. I caught her, not n e t i either e h himself stated to them velveteen.

The Mary Brothers was he last time I saw her alive was on Saturday, at No. 2, Church -court, between five and 04 o'clock, on my mum lama from market. MU is not far from the place where her body now lies. A woman named Ann Scoones was there. No man was there. Ido not think she was living with any man. I had seen her more latterly than for some years before. I saw her frequently in the month of October last. Mr. MILL s—Did she tell you that any one had threatened her life ? Witness—She told me that a man whom she had lived with a short time before, but whom she had left, owing to some quarrel they had had, had threatened her, arid that she was afraid to go out for him. She said she had been very uncomfortable with him. I said, " I wonder,.Mary you can content yourself to live in the-way you do." Mr. MILLS—Do you know the name of that man. Wit ness—She said his name was Mellen. I am not certain of his Christian name, but I think it was William. I did not know what he then was, but I have since heard that he was a smith. . . . . . . -- Inspector Haynes said that person was taken into custody, but, on examination, he was found not to be the man sus- pected of murdering the woman. The witnesses who saw the man with the woman on the night of the murder had positively stated that he, was not the man. The witne,;s said she had seen Mellen at Marylebone Police-office on Tuesday. Mr. WAKLEY inquired if the whole of the other witnesses who bad seen the Iran suspected of committing the murder had seen Mellen ? Inspector hawley said Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Palmer, Mr. Old ham, the cutler, who sold the knife with which the murder was committed, and the police-constable, had seen him. Mr. WAKLEY desired Mrs. Palmer to be recalled. In answer to questions from the Coroner, she said that she went to Marylebone Police court on Tuesday, and a man was shown to her, but he was not all like the man whom she let into the house on Monday night. Mr. WaKLEy—That man was Mellen ? Inspector Haynes said he was. The examination of the deceased's sister was then resumed. —When I saw my sister on Saturday, she did not say she was living with auy man, and, as I have sail, I do not believe she was. Mellen was the man whom she was afraid of. I be lieve she had done something which she ought not to have done, and they had quarrelled. Mr. WAKLEY said (with respect to the descriptions which had been given of the suspected individual, and of the pub licity which would be given to them in the newspapers) the less said about him the better, as they would be merely an advertisement to him, advising him how to escape. Henry Oldham was next examined. Ile said he was a cutler, at No. 10, High-street, directly opposite the house in which the inquest was held. The knife lying on the table I sold on Monday night, about ten minutes to ten o'clock, as near as I can recollect. To a man who came into the shop and said " What is the cheapest small carving-knife you have ?" I said, " I will serve you directly." I took out three knives and he purchased one of them,for which he paid one shilling. Not another word was uttered by him. He did not remain longer than three minutes. As he passed down the shop he was proceeding towards the door with the knife in his hand, which I thought somewhat extraordinary. I have no doubt the knife be- Log the one I sold. I ground the edge of the knife, and wrapped itin paper, and he left theshop I did not notice him particu larly, but he was about :5 feet 4or 5 inches in height. He had on a dark coat, dirty trousers, and a hat. I think the coat was cloth, but I am not positive about it. His age I should think from 19 to 21, and he spoke Ike a youth. The CORONER said these different descriptions did the greatest mischief in the world. Witness continued—l did not notice whether he had any whiskers. He was of a rather sallow complexion, and his features were large. He had no gloves on. I think I should know him again. He was sober, and did not appear at all excited. I never saw the man before. He looked a low character, as if he lived in the low part of St. Giles's. He had a dirty appearance altogether. It struck me as extraordinary when he wanted to take the knife out without anything on it. I have the corresponding piece of paper that the knife was wrapped in. It was brown, paper, with some writing on it. The man had on dark trousers. My daughter was standing beside me at the time, and took particular notice of him also. She is ten years of age. Mr. WAKLEY—I think it will be better to give this infor mation privately to the police. Witne-s continued—l do not know the woman. The witness who had been examined, and those also who had been summoned, were ordered to go into the next room. Witness continued—l saw the man who had been in ens toly, but he was not the man who purchased the knife. He was much stouter. John James Allen, 159 E, examined—l am a constable at the George-street station. On Monday night I was in the gateway in George-street, three doors below the house where the murder was committed. It was then a quarter to eleven o'clock, and I heard the door open, and saw a man run down past me towards Broad-street, but on the opposite side of the street. There was light enough from the lamp to see him. He was about 5 feet 6 inches in height. He had a cap on with a peak, but I would not say whether it was a cloth cap or no. He had on lightish coloured trousers. I should know him again, but would not like to say what his features were. I think I have seen him before in this neigh bourhood. I am positive it was a cap, but will not say whether it was a seal-skin cap or a cloth one. About five or six minutes after the woman Palmer came to me, and said— " Come here, policeman ; here's a woman been struck at Mrs. Hall's." I heard no alarm, and the woman Palmer came very quietly indeed. Palmer said the woman was bleeding very much. I told Mr. Inspector Ilaseley that there was some thing wrong below, and Willis and I went there In the passage there were three or four women, and on entering the room we found the woman on the floor with the knife sticking in the wound at the back of the neck. It was in about five inches. I tried to pull it out lightly, but found it sticking fast, and I was obliged to pull it out with a jerk. She was not deal then, for she gave a sort of smile, and I ran for the surgeon. Mr. Simpson was not at home, and I ran for Mr. Fitzgerald. By a Juror—lt was five or six minutes after the man had ran passed before the woman came to me, but no person came out of the house in the interval. By the CORONER—From the slight glance I got of the man, I should say he was about thirty. The COItONER here stopped the inquiry by observing that all the witnesses had been examined, and that nothing fur ther would be done this day. He should not fix an hour for resuming the inquest, in order to avoid the difficulties which had arisen in former instances from the interference of the magistrates' courts. For this reason only it was that he ad journed the inquest without naming a time for its future sit ting, so that if the prisoner were taken into custody, he would at once be ordered before that Court. This would do away with the difficulty, and at the same time give the Commis sioners of Police no excuse for interfering with the proceed ings of the Coroners' Courts. I'he inquest was then formally declared adjourned, and the room was cleared of strangers. The inquiry did not seem to cause that excitement which might naturally have been expected, but this might probably arise from the fact of the hour for holding the inquest being only fixed on yesterday. In George-street and its vicinity the same intense desire to gaze upon the scene of the murder still prevails, and thousands of persons succeed each other throughout the day. Many rumours are current as to the murderer having been seen in various places, but of course they are not entitled to the slightest credit. The station houses are also besieged with curious inquirers, but the in formation distilled in driblets from the police is of the most unsatisfactory character. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.). Daniel Cooper, a cabman, badge 8,307, was charged With being drunk, and with violently assaulting policeman 233 G. It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night the prisoner was most disorderly and quarrelsome. The constable interfered, and the prisoner attacked him in a savage manner, biting his hand, and striving to twist his arm out of the socket. Mr. GREENWOOD said such a man was utterly unfit to be a cabman. He would sentence him to ten days' imprisonment and suspend his license for 21 days. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. FEAT DIARZETS.

It is not an important fact, recollecting how much British capital is invested in the French railways, that the Chamber of I'eers has negatived by a large majority the Count Daru's restrictive policy in respect of railways, and by persons who have not taken by any means an interest in the result. It is certainly somewhat ludicrous to find objections making by the Peers of France to British subjects investing their surplus capital in lines of railway in France itself. We are credibly informed that the Nitrate of Potass and the Nitrate of Soda are about to be imported from Africa. If so, a wider field for the employment of British shipping must be opened. A good deal of business has been transacted in the un funded Debt to-day, and at prices varying from 61s. to 645. premium.

On the whole, htl e ,.; ever, the opinion or the majority of the Chambers an d to % of the Government is, that the system of protection ill departure from the principles of sound political economy, 13° that through long-continued observation, it has become nY cessary, which cannot be done away with at once.
