VIE SHEFFIELD CUTLERS' FEAST. The annual banquet given by the Master o f the Sheffield Cutlers' Company, to celebrate his own election asPresident of that ancient guild, was held in the elegant hall of the corporation on Thursday. These time-honoured festivals, affording, as they quently do, to eminent politicians an opportu nity of making their views known to the country when the functions of Parliament are suu pend ed, sometimes possess certain features .of general interest. On this occasion, how lever, a falling off in the number of distinguished guests was observable, andt Le after-dinner speeches, alt lough not absolutely sinking to the level of the thousand and one gatherings sacred to mere gastro nomy and good fellowship, yet suff e red a corres ponding deterioration in quality. The most notice able gap at the festive board was caused by the .absence of . Mr. Roebuck, th e l ea di ng l oc al membt r, -whose delicate health, coupled with the recentness c e the late laborious session, rendered it imprudent for him to encounter the excitement of a public meeting. The Duke of N orfolk and several other important personages were also kept away by r reasons:. There were, however, upwards of 200 gentlemen przesen t, among whom were—Lord Wharn eiffe, Viscount Goderich, M.P., Mr. E. Denison, M P., Mr. G.. Hadfield, M.P., M. T. Hankey,M.P., the Mayor foe Doncaster, the Mayor of Sheffield, Mr. W. Overeat d, Rev. Dr. Sale, Alderman Dunne, Alderman Matthews, Mr. It. N. Philipps, Major Thompson, and other officers of the 7th Dragoon Guards. &c. The. chair was filled by Mr. W. Hut chinson, the Masts3r Cutler elect. On the remove. of the cloth the usual loyal toasts 'were given from the chair, and warmly responded to. The CIZAIRMAN then rose to propose "The army an 1 navy," and wits about to preface the toast with some remarks, when the military band in the adjoining apartment incontinently struck up "The British Grenadiers." The music, though a little pre mature, was at least " eloquently discoursed," and the worthy president, probably fearing that oratory at er such an ebullition of harmony might suffer by contrast, good-humouredly waived his intended vinegyric on the sister services. A special bumper was, however, called for, at the instance of Mr. Denison, M.P., " To the European officers in In dia," and, with the addition of this " rider," the toast elicited an enthusiastic response from the as semblage. Major THOMPSON, in responding, assured the com pany that Englishmen, whether on shore or afloat, would ever strive to do their duty, so as to merit not only the applause of their countrymen, but the approving smiles of their fair countrywomen. (1 - tear.) It was impossible to s p e ak t o a t oa st like this without adverting to passing events in India. Few of them had read the account of the atrocities lately perpeSrated in that country without re e ; roing the words of the Earl of WeAmorelan d at Agincourt : " Oh that we now had here But one ten thousand of those men in England Tl at do no work to-day." (Cheers.) Such was yesterday the wish of the re gi,nent to which he had the honour to belong, and, as if in answer to this feeling, that very day there cane an order to him and his comrades to prepare f,r immediate embarkation. He saw before him th crossed swords upon their borough shield ; and lie accepted that emblem as an omen that his regi ment would soon cross swords with the ruffianly in itineers in Bengal. (Renewed cheers.) In Shef field there could be no difficulty in sharpening their wc..,lpons—(a laugh)—and in his corps there was many a willing heart and stalwart arm to use the blades that God and their Queen had intrusted to t• em. (Cheers.) Such of them as survived the approaching conflict would look furward to their nit merry meeting, and when that happy event artived, it might be years hence, he trusted that they would be able to give a goad account of the cowardly ruffians in 'hulk to show that the British army had a g ain done its duty, and that as formin g part of that gallant army the 7th Dra g on Guards had not been found wanting. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Health of the Duke of Norfolk," pointing out the peculiar appro priateness of the toast, from the circumstance that hi; Grace was unfortunately prevented by indispo sition from attending that feast. (Drunk with much c )rdiality.) Mr. Emuso:sr, agent to his Grace, acknowledged the toast, assuring the company that it was the noble Duke's anxious desire to cultivate the most kindly relations with the town of Sheffield. Mr. C. HALL, senior warden of the corporation of cutlers, next proposed " The Health of the Dukeof Devonshire," and Mr. C. C HAMBERS . th e j un i or warden, that of " The Earl Fitzwilliam and the House of Wentworth," which were both duly honoured. " The Health of Lord Wharncliffe and the House of Worthy" was iutrodued by Mr. ELLisox, who hoped that the present bearer of the family title av,)alil emulate the bright ex maple set him by his lamented predecessor. (Cheers.) Lord WHARNCLIFFE expressed his high apprecia tion of the hearty welcome accorded to him that day on meeting the Cutlers' Company for the first time since he had attained his new position. It would, he further observed, afford him sincere pleasure to c ntribute as far as lay in his power towards the , alth and well-being of that borough, and it was his intention to continue to the townspeople of Sheffield, with some mo lifications which would be advantageous to them rather than otherwise, the privilege they had heretofore enjoyed of inhal ng the fresh air of Wharncliffe. (Cheers.) The noble lord concluded by proposing, in suitable terms, " The Health of the Master Cutler." The toast was cordially received and briefly acknowledged. r Mr. W. Vatez then gave " The Health of the Members for the County," remarking that effici ently as the West Riding had been represented for many years past it had never been more ably represented than at present. (Cheers.) Mr. DENISON, M.P. ' as the senior memb er , wa s the first to respond. He had to thank them not only for the compliment they had just paid him, bet also for having returned him him at the last general election without a contest—the highest honour that could be conferred on any commoner. lie had invariably endeavoured to do his best for those whom he represented, without favour or affec ton to one political party or another. The West Riding of Yorkshire had by far the largest consti tuency in the United Kingdom, and the man who either would not or could not afford to be indepen dent of Ministers or parties was not fit to be one of its members. (Hear.) By a most wholesome rule lolitics were proscribed at these gatherings, and he certainly had no intention now to transgress ; but he might be allowed to observe that in the short session of Parliament which had just closed three or four most useful measures had bean passed, which, although they did not involve any party feeling, would yet contribute materially to the wel fare of the whole country. He had told them at the late dissolution that Lord Palmerston was the fittest man, under all the circumstances, for the post of Prime Minister. (Loud cheers.) Without reference to politics he thought so still. (" Heir, hear," and a laugh.) That n o bl e l or d was the man far the occasion ; he was, in short, the right man in the right place. (Hear, hear.) At the last ban (pet of the Cutlers' Company they had present in th it room several military men who took a promi nent part in the memorable Balaklava charge, but who, after all, formed but a small portion of the gallant band which bore uncomplainingly all the privations of a Crimean winter, and helped to bring the Sebastopol expedition to a successful issue. Little did the companypresent then think it would po soon be their lot to hear the awful tidings which had late:y reached us from India. Over the fearful, the revolting atrocities committed on helpless 'icemen and children by the mutinous &Toys— teose greatest scoundrels on the face of the earth— lie wiseed to draw a veil. He preferred to turn to t'te conduct of the European officers, civil as well as military, whose valour, energy, and persever ",ve in the midst of so terrible a crisis were beyond (Cheers.) Whatever might be the pre aalit aspec t o f I n di an a ff a i rs, h e en t i r ine 11 no doubt that sat ct r esult would he ulti - mately attained.aoyr (Hear.) Bengal would, in uv have to be reorganised—he would not say re k oaquerea, because that term w o uld b e m i sa ppli e d to a contest with thwos3 mutinous blackguards in De hi—(laughter) lb) would be only too glad to esca,pe from that city, au,i scatter themselves over till whole of Hindostan, tte l onc , as they could hide parlament at the hands lltemselvee from condign of our countrymen. (Heir, b ear.) il Ve t.i , order was exclusively confined to the Bengal • Presidency, an d great credit was thereloere.udTeigtaol the native troops in Madras and Bomb ay for their weediness. The outbreak in Bengal avoted, h e be li-ved, be soon quelled, and that . Preside ncy re _ dtteed to a proper state of o •gaai.3atK n,ruore esp ei L ily wh en the Government of Indi r, bad the ri 1 of gallant men like those at that festive board. (Cheers.) Indeed, he was firmly persuaded that all would be set right, in one view of the case, with inas a y ear f rom thi s ti me. O ne thing, however, w v.rfectly clear ; we must no more trust, as we 1)11;1 hNterte dune, to a p arce l o f S e poys, who would be were to rise against their European officers whnl ever an equal chance offered itself. (Hear.) If, therefore, we were to retain, as retain we must, t ,is valuable appendage to our empire, we could only do so at greater cost to ourselves than ever. But, he was convinced there was not a man among tl em who, if it were natesaary to support the-Go vernment with Will further grants, would not cheer fully contribute his quota. (Cheers.) A most lauda ble movement had been made by the Lord Mayor of London on behalf of the unhappy sufferers in India. T E 6tY N, It might perhaps be doubted whether the pelnons who had been butchered in that country were not the most fortunate, because, poor creatures, they were now beyond thereach ofhuman misery; whereas a very large number of highly respectable Europeans had lost their all, and many delicately nurtured ladies had been left without a rag to their backs. It was therefore earnestly to be hoped that the ap peal made by the chief magistrate of the metropoli would be generously responded to by all parts of the country, and ha believed that the West Riding of Yorkshire, and more especially the ancient town in which they were then assembled, would display that liberality in succouring the distressed which had always distinguishedit. (Cheers.) Viscount GODERICH also returned thanks. Un like his bon. colleague who had preceded him, he had no claim on that great constituency for past services. Yet in the elevated position to winch their too flattering choice had raised him he pledgea himself to discharge the duties intrusted to him with uuabating zeal and untiring energy. (Hear, hear.) Heavy as were the responsibilities which attached to the office of their representative in times like these, they were almost merged in the yet graver responsibilities which fell to the lot of every member of the House of Commons, be cause in the next session of Parliament great pro blems would have to be solved, and would test the statesmanship of our Ministers and put the wisdom of our legislators to the proof. Those problems had reference to the lamentable events occuringin It was impossible at the present moment to speak on any public occasion and remain silent on that sad topic. The hearts and minds of the people were filled with the thoughts of them; they haunted our wakingsteps—they tinged and coloured our dreams. The times in which we lived would mark a memo rable page in English history. Fortunate was it that in such an emergencyany Government could always appeal without hesitation and with perfect confi dence to the support of the nation. Whenever the power, the honour, or the reputation of England was at stake—whenever our empire was in danger, Eng lishmen at once merged every difference that other wise divided them in order to rally round the Sove reign and her Ministers. (Cheers.) He was convinced the people of this country would readily submit to every sacrifice and make every effort which might be needed, to maintain our eastern dominions. Sure he was that white there was a man who could sharpen a sword in Sheffield, or one who could manufacture a cannon at Low Moor, the people of the West Riding would sooner spend their all tLan lose the glorious heritage won for them by the valour and genius of their forefathers. (Cheers.) We had another source of confidence at this criti cal juncture—he meant the heroism and devotion of the British army, which had never yet failed us, and would not fail us now. (Hear.) Other troops might turn traitors and mutineers, but the army of England would serve their country with fidelity and honour to the last. And in this contest—war he could not call it, because those who were opposed to us were not worthy the name of England's ene mies—our soldiers would be led by a gallant and distinguished general, who was eminently fitted to be at their nead. (Cheers.) Sir Cohn Campbell— (renewed cheers)—did not owe his present high command either to family influence or to political intrigue ; he had won it for himself by bis own courage, and by his devotion to the serv:ce which he adorned, and by the great military genius he had displayed through his long and active career. (Cheers.) It must be a great satisfaction to any one having to deal with public affairs to have an oppor tunity like the present for exchanging thoughts and ideas with his fellow-countrymen ; and though, fortunately, they were not at liberty on these fes tive occasions to launch into politics, to which lie was sure the members of Parliament at that board would be glad to give a few months' truce, yet these gatherings afforded indications which were valuable guides to public men, who could neither attain eminence nor hope to rule the country with effect unless they made themselves acquainted with the feelings and wishes of the community. (Hear, hear.) Meetings like the present, which brought together from all parts of the cnintry men with dif fete nt interests and occupied in various profes sions, did not merely subserve the social purposes of the hour, but tended to promote that cor dial union among all classes on which was founded the true prosperity of England. In times of com parative quiet opposite parties could afford to in dulge in mutual squabbles. All sections of the community then had their differences, and also their own pet grievances, and nothing gave them so much pleasure. (Laughter.) Nothing, in fact, was so agreeable to a man as to have a good griev ance. But when periods of difficulty or danger arrived—when there was a real need of national. union, and a call had to be made upon the pa triotism of Englishmen, the note of party strife wasinstantly hushed, sectional grievances were immediately forgotten, and there was displayed on all sides and among all ranks that happy spirit of unanimity and enthusiasm which enabled our Go vernment to act with a vigour and success that were a standing marvel to foreign nations, unac customed to English habits and English usages. (Cheats. Mr. Re N. PHILIPPS then proposed the health of the members for the borough, taking occasion to eulogize their diligence and fidelity in the cause of their constituents. The toast was received with gnat applause. Mr. HADFIELD, M. P. , responded on his own be half and on that of his abseut colleague, who, he said, if his state of health had made it prudent for him to attend would doubtless have spoken words of authority fitted to influence the counsels of England in this trying emergency. Mr. Hadfiell briefly adverted to the legislation of the past ses sion of Parliament, singling out for especial com mendation the Probate and Testamentary Juris diction Bill, and then touched upon the military outbreak in Bengal. He believed that if the spirit of mutiny had lain dormant for a time, and broken out two years hence, instead of at preent, the evil would have been infinitely more dangerous and embarrassing. When the crisis was over and tran quillity had been restored to India the work of social and material reform in that country must be recommenced. with greater energy and per severance than ever. The Indian Government had had its faults as wallas the natives, and they might rely upon it that when the boundless resources of the eas'ern peninsula came to be duly developed, it would be found that a elmmunity of interest between that country and Englaud would rapidly spring up which would afford a far stronger gua rantee for the security of our empire than any that could be derived from the sword. (Hear.) Mr. HANKEY, M.P., proposed the " Municipal Corporation of Sheffield," to which Mr. P. Smyth, the mayor, duly responded ; and after disposing of several other toasts of a purely local nature the company separated. The evening was much enlivened by the per formances of the band of the 7th Dragoon Gusrds, and also by the vocal efforts of the choir of St. Philip's, church.

(From the Times) On Wednesday last Mr. Miall addressed the con stituency of Tavistock in the capacity of a candi date for their suffrages, and embraced the opportu nity to express his sentiments upon the rebellion now raising in India and the duties which its ter rible incidents had imposed upon this country. The public character of Mr. Miall is too well known to require any explanation on our part, and, in deed, although this distinguished Nonconformist is eminently attached to peace principles, as his vote on the Chinese question showed, and the man above most others from whom we might na- . turally have expected the arguments of the party usually averse to war, we do not pretend to say that we looked for any denunciation at hie hands of the efforts we are now making for the relief of our countrymen and the restoration of our rule. On this question we do not anticipate dissent any where, but so frankly patriotic and national are the sentiments which Mr. Miall announced and so uncompromising are the views which he expressed, that we think it right, both as an acknowledgment to the speaker and for the edification of the public, to call especial attention to the opinions which this representative of an important, and, generally speaking, a peaceful section of our countrymen, has now openly avowed. After sympathizing in fervid language with the calamities of the sufferers and paying a well-merited tribute to their heroism he thus proceeded : " Whatever may be necessary for the Government to do to master this rebellion, to crush it out, to dissipate all the elements of it to the winds, though it may be by the sacrifice of much property, and each individual in this country may be called upon to contribute far more largely than his circunutances would allow, yet I would render to the Government all the aid I could afford in order to procure the reestablishment of order, law, and British supremacy in India, because I believe that the interests of the 200,000,000 souls committed to us by God's providence to govern in that empire are identical with the maintenance of that law, order, and British supremacy." In this strong and decided language have the views of an economical and peace-loving party been now published to the world, nor do we fear that in any quarter they can be met with refutation. It is impossible to question either the rights or the duties of the British nation in India. Foremost among the many momentous considerations affecting the subject stands the obligation of terminating blood shed and anarchy, which, except for the interven tion of British power, might endure for incalcu lable time. The actual question at this moment is not whether our Government, or some other Government equally well organized, shall prevail in India, but whether there shall be any Govern ment or none. Unless the might of this country is exerted to re-establish order, the provinces of Hindostan will be at the mercy of that wont of classes, a disbanded soldiery, whose licence will be emulated and whose ravages will be doubled by a vast criminal population released from the terrors of the law. Nobody so much as imagines that the unhappy puppet set up by the mutineers at Delhi could exercise any authority even in the streets of that city, nor does there exist any machinery what ever fur protecting public or private interests in Hindostan except that which the traitorous and frantic Sepoys are endeavouring to destroy. We, moreover, are the people who ca ll e d th ese armed ruffiansinto being. To our policy it is owing that some scores of thousands of Hiudoos have been trained to arms, and imbued with th ose e l ements of a martial character which make their present I ferocity so dangerous. Tue Bengal Army is our own creation. We brought the monster into exist ence, and we are bound to save the country from desolation by conquering and annihilating it, now that its fearful nature has been displayed. We say surther, and without fear of cm tradic tion, that,'although we govern India as conquerors, our govetnment has been the best and the most beneficial which that count r y ever k new , an d th a t its authority could only be removed at the cost of all the prospects of civilisation and improvement which Hmdoos possess. We do not claim any per fection for our policy or our proceedings. Certain burdensome incidents were perhaps inseparable from the rule of a nation separated by 15,000 miles of sea, and it is not in reason to suppose that a whole century of government under such conditions should have escaped the blemishes of occasional wrong. But we do claim the credit of having governed India on better principles and with far better success than any former rulers, and of hav ing given its people an infinitely greater amount of security thae they ever before enjoyed. We, and we only, have rendered life and property as secure in India as in Europe. If our taxes could be thought heavy—though not a syllable of accusation bas been heard on that score—they at least repre sented the whole amount of the contributions ex pected. When the Government dues had bean pa'd every native, however humble, knew and felt that whatever be could accumulate by his diligence or his self-denial would be securely his own. We relieved every State and the people of every State in India from the chronic calamities of intestine war. We yut clown with a strong hand commu nities who Jived upon organised robbery, and ren dered the attacks of one Prince upon another as impossible upon the Ganges as they would be upon the Rhine. These infinite blessings—that public order and paramount authority of law which are the indispensable preliminaries to anything like political improvement—we bestowed upon the peo ple of India. it is of no avail to ask by what right we are there. There we stand as conquerors, and it is by God's Providence, as Mr. Miall said, that we do so. The currents of population created by conquest are apparently ordained by the Divine law, like the currents of the air or the currents of the see. We stand charged, as governors, with the maintenance of order and the promotion of civilisation in India, and we must fulfil our ob'i gation. There is no Power but ours which can do the like. The alternative before us is simply the re-establishment of British supremacy or the aban clonment of [ndia to utter anarchy, internecine massacre, and general ruin. So manifest, indeed, are these considerations, and so plain the path of duty before us, that if we again cite the testimony of Mr. Miall to such political truths it is mainly for the sake of re minding Government how much may be done, and how much therefore will assuredly be expected, when a nation like ours is so unanimous in its views. Our resources are practically inexhaustible. For the reinforcent of our army we can draw upon a population very nearly as large as that of one of the first military Powers of Europe. The means of transport we possess to an extent absolutely un paralleled. The financial strength of the St ate at this moment is without example in our history ; we are at peace with Europe, and we have just been blessed with an abundant harvest. The dif ference between a year of plenty, such as now lies before us, would in itself go far to compensate the expenditure which these mutinies may entail. There are no motives for shrinking, therefore, while there is every motive for energy. Half as much as we have already done would, in all human probability, if it could have been done six mouths ago, have saved us the necessity of doing any more. If events were not to be prognosticated, then they are, at any rate, to be appreciated no w , an d energy and expedition at this moment may save us twice as much outlay and effort by and by. There is nothing in our way. Our work lies before us—its demands are plain, and we have only to _exert our strength without hesitation or reserve. IRISH Fismoucs.—The report of the Irish Farber)? Commissioners for 1856 states that the sea fishery still continues in a languid and depressed state, and that the coast fisheries are not worked with that energy and vigour which might be expected from the amply remu nerative prices afforded by the markets. The salmon fisheries are steadily increasing in value. The commis sioners recommend that the six Fishery Acts be conso lidated into one, for the purpose of rendering the la v plain and palpable, and to obviate the necessity of refer ring to so many separate statutes. The apathy of the Irish as regards the fishery on the coasts is accounted for by the general growth of prosperity in the agricultural districts, and the increasing demand for farm labourers at remunerative wages.

Davis and Co., leather-cutters, Leadenhall-street, was b. - ought be fore the LDrd Mayor and Mr. Alderman Wire upon the charge of having robbed his employers of six pieces of leather, of the value of I.s. 9d. The prisoner, who pleaded gniPy, and said it was his first offence, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. r , of Wednesday , last be was at the Belvidere public house, where he saw the defendant, and a conver sation—took - place about the robbery: Witness asked the defendant if he really thought a robbery had been committed ? and he replied, " Oh, yes ; 1,-am positibe there vas. You recollect when you were there on Stiturday, the landlord called me on one side and showed me a hundred sovereigns that he had put in a small cloth bag, and then he counted out a hundred more, and placed them in a small box • and if he had the case to l oo k o f ex, as he thought he should, and, not Sergeant Bond, he could have found the money and the persc ns who took it, as be knew who they were." Mr. Norton—Are you sure he said he could find the patties who committed the robbery? Witness—Yes, sir ; he said BO ; and that he knew where they were. Some further evidence having been given, Mrs. Coleman, the wife of the prosecutor, said that onljthe night of the robbery, at about Lal -past nine o'clock, the defendant came to the bar and had a glass of gin ; and while doing so another constable came in in a great hurry and had a glass of porter, and hurried out again. The de fendant also left after taking his glass of gin, and went out at the side door ; but whether he went towards the street or the yard she could not say. On the evening before the defendant came to the bar, and having heard him say that he could find the money and the thieves, she asked him why he did not look after them. He replied, that he had neither money nor clothes, but said he had given the necessary information to Police-constable Shah brook, 120 P, who was acting on it. The witness denied that she had ever tild the defendan', a; he had stated, the amount of money lost, or th it it had been in a box and a bag, as she was not awa• e of the fact. Shabbrock, 120, who is engaged in endeavour ing to detect the thieves, was called, and denied having received any information from the de fendant. Mr. Lund here informed the magistrate that there was another witness he had ordered to be in attendance, and that was a female who lived op posite the house of Mr. Coleman, and who on the Light of the robbery saw a young man in Mr. Coleman's bed-room with a lighted candle and a cap on, but not being able to identify that person she did not at' end. Mr. Lund further said that the beat of the defendant was a considerable distance from the residence of the prosecutor, and he (de fendant) had no right to expect that he should be employed to trace the thieves. In reply to the magistra.e, he said that the defendant had been in the force about seven months, and entered with a good character. The defendant admitted that what lie said was from mere bravado, and he was sorry for it. Mr. Norton admitted that this was his own opi nion, and that he had nothing to do with the rob bery, but still ha conduct was exceedingly im proper. He was then discharged. ALLEGED MURDER AT BRADLEY, NEAR BILSTON, STAFFORDSHIRE. COMMITTAL OF PHILIP CLARE FOR MURDER. It will be in the rec dlection of our readers that early in the morning of the 30th of April last the body of a female named Elizabeth Hopley, and who was employed as a banks woman at a colliery, was found in a canal at Bileton. An inquest was held on the following Friday, and adjourne I until Tues day, the sth of May, to give opportunity for a post mortem examination. On the sth of May there was a further aijournment until the 24th. In the meantimea man of the name ofPhilip Clare, a butty miner, in whose employment the girl Hop ley bad some time been, and who was believed to harbour ill feelings against her, was apprehended as her murderer, on the information of George Powell, a watchman, who declared that he had wit nessed the whole transaction. Clare was taken be fore the stipendiary the next Tuesday, when Powell repeated the statement he bad made to the police. An adjourned inquest was fixed for the following Tuesday, but before that day Powell ab sconded. The inquest was then further adjourned in the first instance to the, 19th of Juue, and then to the sth of October, whilst a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Powell. Nothing was heard of this person, however, until Monday last, when he was taken to War wick Gaol, having broken the workhouse windows on being refused relief. Powell, who has lost a leg, had disused his wooden substitute and taken a crutch. On being asked his name by the warder at the prison, he gave that of Powell, and then, recollecting himself, that of Powis. This caused suspicion, and he was even tually identified and handed over to the authorities at Bibton, where he arrived on Tuesday last. On the evening of that day, Clare was again taken into , custody, and yesterday morning an adjourned in quest was held at the White Lion, Bradley, kefore W. P. Philips, Esq., deputy coroner. Mr. Water house, solicitor, Bilston, watched the proceedings on behalf of Clare. The first witness examined was the man Powell, who deposed as fel'ows :—My name i 3 Samuel Wall. lam a labourer, and have chiefly gone by the name of George Powell. I have had no fixed place of residence since my father's death. I did not know the deceased. In February, March, April, and May, I was employed as watchman for Mr. David Rose. When I went to be watchman at Mr. Roseia,l first became acquainted with Clare, who introduced himself to. me. My duty was to look after the fields and the engine during the night. On the night that this happened I was out on my beat. I thought it was then about half-past twelve o'clock, but when I came into the main road r heard the Moxley clock strike twelve. On corn ing to the railway bridge (Bradley Brdge), I saw the shadows of two parsona on the bridge. I could'se.e it was a man and a woman. This would be about a quarter past twelve. On getting below the bridge I heard a woman say, " Philip, don't kill me ; you said you would kill ma before." I then saw the man lift his hand and strike the -wo man. I think the blow was upon the head. It knocked her down. I did not hear a word after that. I then recognised the man as Philip-Clare, who is now present. I went up t 3 him and said, " Philip, you will have to suffer for this. He said, " If you tell any one, kill you ; I'll serve you the same.", I did not see the woman's face ; I could not. She had like a red frock on, and was quite a stout body. Clare then took the woman on his shoulder ; she then remained insensible. I followed Clare to the end of the wharf. He then rope atml, "If you tell anybody, I will kill you ; I will serve you the same, and I will set some, body on to watch," He (Clare) then carried the woman a little way further, and put the woman into the water. There was only ohe blow struck by Clare, a^d the woman never strug gled from that time till she was put into the water. From first to last these things oempiel from a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes. Wall con tinued that he then went away along the new rail road, and af,er having gone about a quarter of a mile towards the "Mile engine" Clare overtook him, again threatened him in the event of his in forming, and ultimately went off in the direction a Moxley. Witness then went and *locked himself up in the little engine, being in fear of his life He was several times afterwards threatened by Clare, and at lot went and gave information to the police. On being asked bythe coroner why he had after wards absconded, Ee said it was because he was afraid Clare would kill him. On the deposition being read over, Wall :"It's quite nght. sir ; that's the truth." In answer to a juryman, he repeated that the night was .a nice mo )nlight one; and to Mr. Whitehou3-, who asked him why he had changed his name, he replied that it was because he was the last of the Walls. Samuel Hall, Lea Brook, a watchman- on the Great Western Railway,- was next called, and his former evidence read over to him. Oa being askel if he had any additional matter to communicatp, he said that about 11 o'clock on the night i n ques tion he was watching the Bradley Bri•lge for another watchman, when he heard a man and a woman talking on the bridge in a common way. He went to sleep afterwards, but was awoke by a l ou d screaming noise, as of a woman. The first words he heard were " Don't hit me." Imme diately afterwards he heard her say," You said you 'would, but don't—don't." lie then went ou:side, and heard Some people hiking, but could not say whether they were men or women. He sat down again for about twenty minutes, after which lie heard somebody on the line, and shor ly after wards a goods train came up. The! train arrived, as appeared by the emnpauy's books, at 11.45 =ha' , night. Hall said he had not made this sta‘ement ( 3 / 4 0 his first exalainatioo, b cause he had no busi ness at the bridge at that Iran-, and he did nut want it to be known that he had been th re. At the time he thought that the voices were those of people quarrelling in same adjoining hou;es; and in answer to Mr. Whlehouse, he said that the loud scr eam i ng occurred before he heard the words he had repeated. Samuel Whitmore, -an engineer, was examined on the part of Clare, He slid t' at he was at work at Bradley Field on the day of the alleged miirde-. He heard afttrwardi that old George knew of it. Directly afterwardi he met George, and told him what he had heard, and recommended him to go at once and speak the truth. He replied that ho did not know Clare, never saw him in his lile, and had only passed the bridge on the night of the murder at half -past 10. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful mur der" against Clare, who was committed for trial on the coroner's warrant. When the reporters were leaving the room, the prisoner said, "Gentlemen, 1 GUILDHALL. BETTING IN A THOROUGHFARE. —John Kenning ton, a respectably dressed young man, was brought up in custody, charged with obstructing the thoroughfare and assaulting the officer in the exe cution of his duty. John Lee, 346, the police-cons able on duty in New Bride-street, Blackfriars, said he saw the prisoner, between twelve and one o'clock in the day, standing wit a great number o f men on th e pavement in - Bride-lane, and he requested them to leave. They accordingly went quietly away, but the prisoner remained, and refused to go until he had received some money which was coming to him upon a bet he had made. Alderman Hale asked if there were any betting houses in that neighbourhood ? The officer said he believed there were not, but these men were in the habit of assembling daily to the number of from 100 to 150, and so obstructed the thoroughfare that passengers were unable to pass on the footway. When he attempted to re move the prisoner he assaulted him, and witness therefore took him into custody. Alderman Hale inquired what was the object, of so many men assembling in the s reets ? The Constable sail that since the betting-houses had been suppressed these paaties met to transact all their be tingbusinessin the public thoroughfares. Alderman Hale wished to know if the officer ob served any betting going on. The ()deer said he could not say that he actually saw any bats made, but there were a great many men len - dog against the railings with books in their hands, and he saw them from time to time writing in those bool:s. Alderman Hale asked if the prisoner had been seen there before. The constable said the prisoner was there nearly every day, and he had repeatedly cautioned him. Alderman Hale said, under those circumstances, he should deal with the case differently to what he intended if this had been the first warning the pri soner had received. He, therefore, fined the pri soner 51., or, in default of payment of that auriymt, one month's imprisonment, and any other persons br.iught before him for similar offences would be dealt with in the same way. The fine not being paid, the prisoner was car ried away in the van.

John Almond Tucker, clerk and cashier to the coffee- 03111, proved the payment of several sums of money to the prisoner on particular days. The secretary proved that these amounts had not been paid over to him by the prisoner. William Miller, clerk of the kitchen, proved the payment of sums of money to the prisoner. These amounts were also proved never to have been paid over by the prisoner.
