The adjourned inquest on the body of James Henderson, farm.er,. of Bramall (or, as it otherwise called, " Bram - hall' ), Cheshire, who was shoo while in bed on Wednesday morning last, was held at the Victoria Inn, near the Braman station of the Mac clesfield Railway. The coroner, Mr. W. Johnson, took his seat at 10 o'clock. The jury was princi pally composed of farmers, anti Mr. Maraland, a landowner of the neighbourhood, was the fore man. Mr. W. P. Roberts, solicitor, Manchester, appeared for James Hendersmi, deceased's eldest son, who was present in custody. The police de scription of the prisoner is—" height, sft. 4in. ; com plexion, light ; eyes, hazel, sharp and deeply sunk in the forehead ; hair sandy ; cheeks very hollow." He was brought from the Stockport county lockup in a cab by Mr. Superintendent Andrews and Mr. Little, deputy constable, of the Cheshire County Constabulary. A considerable crowd of country people, many of whom must have been known to him, were congregated round the door on his arri val, and on alighting from the vehicle his lips quivered and he appeared somewhat nervous. The township of Braman is composed of scattered de tached farms and cottages, and the population is about 1,800 in number. The scene of the murder Is about three-quarters of a mile west of Braman hall, the seat of CUL Davenport, the owner of the farm, which is an ancient brick and timber man sion, said to have been: erected in the reign of Richard II I. The jury -room was exceeding crowded with people, some of whom had come from Stock port, and many of them from the village of Hazle grove, which is only a couple of miles east, and Cheadle, about the same distance west, of the township. Michael Malnlkney, sworn.—l am a farm la bourer, and was in the service of the late Mr. Hen derson at the time of his death. I lived on the farm, and slept in the granary with John Dillon, a fellow. servant. It will be 15 weeks to-morrow since I entered. his service. On Tuesday night last, Sept. 29, I weld to bed at half-past 8 o'clock, and Dillon did the same. I was awoke about 2 o'clock. I suppose it was by the prisoner, who called from the kitchen or pantry for me to get up quick. I commenced dressing. My sister also lives as ser vant there, and she and the prisoner came and called again soon afterwards, and desired me to " come down smart," and not to dress. I and Dil lon then went down and found the prisoner in the kitchen with a gun in his hand. The prisoner's brother Thomas was there, my sister, and Blaize, a servant-lad. Prisoner asked if we had heard any thing, and we said, we did not. He said, " Come up stairs,` there are -robbers about the house." I went up stairs, but we (James, and Thomas, and I) first went into the cellar. We found that there was no one there. He then said, " Come upstairs and we'll try the rooms." We all then went up stairs. James (the prisoner) then went into one of the bedrooms, but net that in which deceased lay. He had a candle and only looked inside that room, and then he went into deceased's room. The door was not open, because I saw him raise the latch. We followed him io, his brother Thomas following first, and then myself and Dillon. The prisoner said, "'Come on out, my father is killed." He had not been up by the side of the bed, but he went a little past the foot of it. He did not touch his father, nor did Thomas. We then left the room. No search was made to see if anything had been taken. The prisoner then went into his mother's room, and I heard him tell his mother his father had been killed. I did not go into her room, and did not hear whether she mtle him any reply. I did not hear any shriek nor any expressions ofgrief. We next want down to the back kitchen door, when the prisoner gave the gun to his brother to fire, and Thomas discharge t two shots, one after the other, out-ide the kitchen door. The prisoner thin took us into his sitting room, and showed us h's leathslr desk (like that tprOduced), which had been broken open. He went and examined the desk, aad said, " Here's where my money was, and it has been taken out." I think he said there was .15/. 10s. We all then went into the kitchen, and the prisoner and Thomas told us (me and Dillon) to go and dress ourselves ; we did so, and returned. We found the prisoner and Thoara7, when we returned, in the back kitchen, and Ddlon was:sent with ThomaS to fetch the po lice. Tue prisoner and I remained by the kitchen fire to guard the house. While I was there my sister c one down. The prisoner asked me out after the others had gone—at:out five minutes after—to look at my bedroom door, which is outside the house. He said, " Come Mick, le .'s go look at your door." He had a light in his hand, and went up to the steps to the door before me. I was open ing the door to go in, and he " Oh, Mick, look whaL's in your door," and he got hold of a piece of wood that was stuck in the inch. [The door is fastened outside by a wooden late!), and persons- inside -could only open it by putting one finger through a hole under the Mehl • The piece of wood he showed me sticking in the latch, was about the size nowshown tome. I said" Oh, James, what put this here ?" and he said, " That's a bit of wood put there to keep you in." We returned to the kitchen, and soon after the prisoner asked me to come from thefire in. o the hick kitchen. He told me to st )p there while he went to look about the hedges and ditobe , , and I did so. He took no light witlhim, nor any weapon. He remained away nearly half-an-hour. - When he returned he asked me t i go upta;rs with him, and I Went into his own bAiootn with him. He went to his drawer or box, I cannot say which, and he pulled out some papers and put them into his pocket. He did not go into deceased's chamber again, but went down stairs to the fire. lieie he pulled a quantity of pa pers out of his p3cket. and threw them into ills fire and burnt them. One of the pieces fell out and he got hold of and put it int') the fire again. My sister Nancy Wa.l present at the time. The prison -, who was t ,king notes at a table behind his Litt nmey, hero handel a slip cf his notes to Mr. Robert , , but the latter founded no quest'on upon it. Witness continued—l hive seen de,cewed and the prisoner together in the harvest, but I never saw them speak together. I never heard them speak together at meals, but the old man usually to At his weals alone. By Mr. Itiberts—lt was nit long after we wera called before we went into the cellar. I s h ou ld think it might be fiva minutes, but not much more.

The prisoner used to go out at 8 o'clock to ManchestQr evjry m , rnin t ,c , , and sornetamis returned at 7 e'cloec, or I , ter, in the evening. The old min used to rise athalf-past 4 sometimes, and went out with us milking. Don't know what' time the pri s.oaer umally rose in the morning. The fire was 10 when the prisoner put the paper ia. By the Groner—He did not put anything else. on the firs besides the papers. _ By Mr. Roberts—Did you sea any differenc3 be twe3n the cundua of James witti his father and th© others I Th 3 Coroner thong:a this wa•3. not a proper quel tion, and asitcd the .witness wheth,q--tul other-neat bets of the family talked with the' father.

James (the prisoner) 'never attended to .the faun business as far as I saw, but when he came home at night he would talk to us. John Dillon, firm labourer, sworn —I had b.en in deceased's service 14 or 15 weeks, and slept on Tueidiv night last with Maluc'gney. I was called up at the suns time with my fellow-servant. I only put on my "trousers. James said when we got int-3 the kitchen that there were robbers about. Went' upst4i , s w ith J ames , and Tho Mas, and Michael,-and Nancy, and Bla z James went into a bed-room, and returned, a and went into his father's room.

I and Mahickn m e Y a ft er wards wept , to dresffl, and I went for the prili.. , !e. John Bla. Z 3 or B' swozn—l am a far.n la bourn, and- entered the service of the de.leased list Monday week. I slept in the attic with a sifvant boy, and Thos. Henderson slept in the stale room. I went to bed on Tuesday night about 8 o'clock, and the boy with me. About two o'clock in the morn- 1 ing I heard the discharge of firearms. - I heard a i second discharge directly afterwards. I then got out of bed and COMmenced dressier. Thomas, who hadl got out immediately before I did, was also dressing i any kind. I afterwa r d s I heard nothi ng aft.-)r the second report — no nois-3 o heard James call Thoma s . and say, Thima arleitibieres robbers in the house.' Thomas went down second fi l first, and o followednhwdhiircehc directly. When I got to the g a bedrooms of the first floor openini' uF saw t James standing at his bedro om d e priso . n i e) one hared an d d he d h a a double barrelled gun in on candle in the other, and said there were robbers in the hoise. The candle flame was full, as though it Nancy Maluckney sworn—l lived as servant to the deceased at the time of his death, and had been there better than three months. I went to bed on Tuesday night after the men-servants, leaving Jane and her mother up, and also the prisoner. Thomas was not then in tha house. The first thing I heard in the morning was the prisoner crying o ut that robbers were in the . house. I slept in one of the attics alone. I had heard no report of firearms. I came down and saw the prisoner in the back kitchen, and afterwards went upstairs with them. I went into the room where deceased lay; but cannot say whether the door was open or shut. I heard the prisoner say afterwards to his sister that lus father was shot. On a Sunday, when there was company, I have seen James and his father and family in the sitting-room together. I never saw them sit toge ther alone. I have seen Thomas and his father talking together, but never saw James and his fa ther talking together. ty Mr. Roberts--James used to take his meals often in the sitting-room. All the family were friendly together. I never heard any quarrelling. The old man was a little hasty, but I never took any notice. I never saw the broken braces pro duced. I do not recollect seeing James and his father ever walking alone together in the fields. All the family used to dine together on Sundays. George Oswald Andrews, superintendent of po lice, sworn—l received information of this murder between 3 and 4 o'clock on the morning of Wednes day last, Sept. 30, and want to the spot immediately after. I met with the two brothers, James and Thomas Henderson, at the house. I had taken Sergeant Cooper with me. I said, " You have had something serious here." James said, " Yes." I sahl, " Have they taken anything ?" and he said, " Yes, they have broken open my writing-desk and taken 14!. 10s. in gold." The sitting room door was open, and I went in. James pointed to the writing-peak produced, which lay open on the table. IL pointed where the money was taken from, and he picked up the brass fastening, saying it had been broken from the writing case. We had a candle, but I made a slight examination of it only. I then lecked the door and brought away the key. In the passage I asked how the entrance had been effected, and James said that he had found the back door open, and that he supposed some one must have get in during the early part of the night., concealed themselves in the cellar, and after the family bad gone to bed had let ; ,the rest of the gang into the house. He had been up last, seeing all the doors fast ; that he want to bad about half-past 12, and thought he heard a shuffling noise, which caused him to turn several steps back, ut all was then cniet and be went to bed. Myself and James and Th Harms and one or two officers then went upstairs, and James pointed out a pane of glass on the laud ing broken by his having shot at a man he saw standing on the stairs. I said, "Did you think you hit him ? " He said, " Yes, for he uttered an excla mation as if hurt." I examined the landing where the man was said to have been standing, but could find no traces of blood. We then went to the next landing to James's room, and at my request he got the double-barrelled gun and showed me the rositicn in which he stood when he fired. I asked what was the very first thing he heard, and ho said the report of firearms in his father's room, upon which he said he jumped out of bed, seize 1 a gun that was against the drawers, opened his bed r out door, and, seeing the outline of a man against the window on the landing, he immediately fired at him. I said, " Thd you not call out before you fired, because it might have been yaur brother or some otto of the family." He said, " No, I did uot." I aske 1 what next took place, and he said he could see a light from his father's room, but the raiment he fired it was extinguished and two men rushed out down the stairs, and he believed from the noises there we- e two or three persons outside the house. lie said the feet of all the men were muffled. I then went into deceased's room. I foetid the deceased lying upon his back in bed with a severe wound on the face, the face blackened as if from an explosion of powder, and I noticed that the features were placid, so that I formed the opi nion that. he must have been shot while asleep. Ills arms lay upon his chest and were crossed. A tehic that stood under the window was pointed out by the prisoner as the place where the old man kept his Money. I found the top locked, and the table bad no appearance of having been dieturbel. The room struck me as in a remarkable state of neat ness and order, considering what I had heard ha I t Licen place. There was a piece of carpet by the bedside which hid not been d sturbed. I then locked the teem and went to make inquiry at Stc ck port about a discharged man-servant. I returned about 9 o'clock in company with Messrs. Graham and Son, surgeons, of Stockport, and called their particular attention to the position of the body as to whether deceased had been shot while asleep. I then made a search of the bedclothes, and picked up about 12 pieces of paper on the body and bed' and side of the bed, which appeared to hove been need as the wadding of the firearms with which deceased was shot. They are blackened with Lowder and singed. They are new produced in the state in which I found them. They were int places where they might be expected to be found if a guru ha I been discharged at the deceased, at or near thiefoet of the bet. I also produce two teeth found there. I then made a minute search upon the stairs where,James had said the man stood that he fired at. I was assisted in this se irch by Ser geant Hammond, and we picked up a number of pellets that had been flattened with the disch argue against the wall, and Sergeant Hammond picked ue what appears to Lave been the wadding of the gun and handed it to me. I afterwards found in the prisoner's la-droona l in the chamber-pot, two pel lets. Mr. Little, the deputy chief-constable, was then assisting me, and 1 sa'v him take from the chamber-13w, the piece of paper produced, and he took from the same utensil a spent cap. Upon the floor of the chamber I found a quantity of sh at and another spent cap. These I produce. 12 of the ale: t or pellets, and 12 of the flattened pellets found on the stairs I delivered to Mr. John Graham, and saw him compare them with pellets he hid in his p session (taken from the body of deceased) and weigh them t , getiter, 12 of each, and they wet° pric:saly the same weight. In the dressing-room I found a number of publications called 'The Cot tage Girl, or the Matriage Day." A rotten of one of these I now produce. The pages are 1,185, 1,136, •1,199, and 1,200. On one of the pieces of wed taken from deceased's bedroom were the cieners of pages 1,197 arid 1,193, the fourth figure being torn off, There is letterpress also on the piece of paper. I pred ace a perfect number of the saute public:.' ion, commencing with page 1,185, an i ncluding with 1,200 which has been since pur chased. Mr. Rober::s said he objezted to this as not evidence.. Tin Coroner overruled the objection. Tbe , .w:tness continued—lt containi the whole of Via page 1,198, and oa comparing the pieces of paper found in dezeased's room with this peifeJt copy:of the work I find many of the words on ea h, an-1 on - comparing the waddint , found on the stair s, and the piece of paper found in the chamber-pot iz the prisoner's room, I find they contain the same matter as that on the lower parts of the same page. I examinel the door of the granary, and found the pieces of wood now produced, one being in the latch and the other at the bottom of the steps, being picked up by police-constable Smeatoa. The. prisoner, James Henderson, was not at home at this time. Before I left the first time be said 1:0 was cashier to a firm in Manches'er ; that was of importance he should go down there, as he had keys and books that would hinder the business. I told him the - re could be no objection to-his going, but desired him to gat back ai soon as possible to aikist is the inquiry. He rerurned in the afternoon, a little time after I toftl him I suould arres Lim. 011 the eh trg3 of com;nittinff th ' s mur d er . 11e sald " Indeed Upon what grounds ?" I said '` Grounds of st rong t-tined till the matter has been f suspicion, and you will be de llo said, "Very well ; urt_herinv • mother r I said he es: igated mi 4lrs a o n l ; may h speak to my gook a her to get him a cup of tel.

By Mr. - Roberts—l searcbrd about the house that morning, and had seve:al officers about and around the premises making a minute search durin g that and the following day. My attention was not drawn to any footsteps. Two days afterwards I heard there wa3 a faint mark of a elo'r under On re-assembling, one of the 15 jurymen (Mr. John Lees, of Bramhall) was missing, and the coroner said he should not proceed :with the inquest until he was present, and that he should report his conduct to the Home Secretary. The missing juryman was accordingly sent for, and fined 403. At tie time we dispatched our parcel the inquiry was again about to proceed, and we understood that, besides the .medical witnesses to be called, there was other very important evidence to be given, showing the animosity which has for a very long time existed between the prisoner and his lather and also to prove the abstraction by the pri t soner from his father's possession of the lease by which the farm is held of Colonel Davenport. The lease, was given to the witness by the prisoner last March, who will also, if his evidence is admitted, prove that the father had, on one occason, been violently beaten by the prisoner. The village is in a very excited state. (Br THE ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH.) VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER. A verdict of " Wilful Murder" has been brought in by the jury against the prisoner James Hen derson. THE FRATRICIDE IN LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 6. At the policy-court this morning William Jones was again brought before Mr. J. S. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate, charged with having stabbed and kided his brother, Robert Jones, during a quarrel in their own house in Trowbridge-street on Sunday night. The -keeper of the Bridewell stated that the prisoner was taken to the B r idewell a bout a quar ter before 12 o'clock on Sunday, the officer who had him iu cuitody stating that he was charged with killing his brother. Witness asked whe'her the man was dead • and the pi isoner replied, "Yes, deal enough." Witness then said, ' Jones, you aratharged with stabbing and killing your brother. You need not say anything, without you wish to do so, and what you do sly will be given in evi dence again ,t you." He replied, " I was obliged to do so ; he forced me to it ; he struck me first in the face." Witness then saw blood about his face, and that his hand was cut. Witness draw the prisoner's at ention to the latter circumstance, and he said " they (meaning 111.4 brothers) cut my `hand." About. two hours after the prisoner was brotight to the Bridewell witness visited him in the cell with officer 193, when the prisoner told him that two of his teeth had C)1110 out, and he found one on the floor. The surgeon (Mr. Allen) who bad received the body of the deceased at the infirmary, described the nature of the wound, which he said was about four inches in depth, penetrating to the heart. The wound was the cause of death. It was also shown when the quarrel commenced the prisoner was using the knife at the table, getting his supper. Mr. Mansfield said th 3 case was as shocking as it could well be, but it clearly did not amount to more than manslamghter, on which charge he must be cmunitted for trial at the as3izas. At the inquest on the body this morning before tl borough coroner, a verdict of manslaughter was also re:uraed. The facts of theformer examination have already appeared in this journal. An arrangement having been come to between the respective solicitors, no evidence was taken yesterday,. but it was agreed that it should be fully gone into next week. The prisoner having renewed his recognisances. two bail in 151. each, and himself in 301., he was discharged. Elizabeth James, a respectably -attired young woman, said to be well connected, a housemaid in the employment of the proprietors of the Great Northern Railway Hotel, King's-cross, was charged with stealing at the same place six pocket handker chiefs, a gold pin, one shirt, and other articles, the property of Dr. Talbot, lately residing in the hotel. Mr. MacPhail attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis jun., for the defence. From the evidence it appeared that on Sunday week last, when Dr. Talbot was leaving for Brus sels, he told the chief of the hotel that he was per fectly satisfied with all but one thing, and that was because there were thieves in the house. As soon as that gentleman had left, the head waiter had all the females' boxes searched, but the prisoner seemed rather to object. In the box owned by the prisoner were found the six pocket-handkerchiefs and the neck-tie, but the pin could not be dis covered. She ien said that she had found the articles in the fireplace, and, not knowing to whom they belonged, had taken them to her room. Police constable Andrews, 86 S, was called, and upon making a further search he found a shirt and a pair of silk braces, which belonged, it is suspected, to a gentleman who formerly lodged the hotel. After some further evidence, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner until Satur day next. Upon the application of Mr. Lewis, the prisoner was admitted to bail. WORSHIP-STREET. —W m . Shaw and Wm. Whiting, boys 11. years of age, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with throwing missiles on to the North London Railway, under these circum stance 3 About a 'week since the urchins were brought to this court by same of the officials of the railway station near DA on, from whose evidence it ap peared that while a down train was passing beneath the arch of that bridge, the defendants were dis tinctly seen to drop two larg e pieces of brick, which fell close to the engine-driver, who calling to the plate-layer, they were perceived and taken into custody. On evidence they were remanded, and their parents being now in attendanc , 3, further testimony to the same effect was received, in reply to which the boys admi►ted that it had been their intention to drop the bricks down ►he engine chimney if they could, but had tried ineffectually. Mr. Huriston, the chief clerk of this court, and who resides at Hampstead, mentioned that he had occasion to know this description of offences was grea.'iy on the increase, and particularly on the line in question. Very recently one of the firemen re ceived severe injuries on the head from some missile thrown or dropped from a bridge or embankment. This statement was verified by a servant of the company_._ . _ ir. D'Eyucourt—This is manifestly becoming a matter of very cerious character. The evil is grow ing' and something must be done to put a stop to it. The logs of life might, ensue, and not anyone can .determine where the mischief might end. I shell make an example of these lads, and I do trust that publicity may be given to if . . Let bills be posted alongt'ne line as a caution. The next person brought b- fore me I will assuredly send for trial. Now, I will fine the offenders each 40r. or one month's im nrisonment in defauP. The fathers of the children said this seemel a very severe course, and The Magistrate reminded them that th3ir sins were liable to transportation. William Brownhill, shoemaker, was finally exa mined, and committed for trial, on tho charge of cutting and wounding his wife with 'inteat to miir - der her.

She concealed the garment under her shawl, and was moving away with it, when the wi - n.iss followe t and stopped her, and brought ht r back to the shop, with the property in - her posses s) on. :Policc-constable Hart, L 82, said he was sent for to Mr. Grove's shop, when the prisoner was given into his custody. When asked why she had taken the 'eoAt, she replied that that was her own business. She refused to g ive any address, and the w it n ess conveyed her to the station-house. The p , i3oner a Imitted the facts adduced in evi dence a,,0-iinst her, but pleaded distress in extenua tion of the offence she had committed. In answer to the magistrate, The prisoner stated that four years ago she had Evcd in a respectable situation in the Walworth r hid, but that now she was without a home or a s7-agle friond in the world. The prisoner further she would prefer that the case should be lis p used of here iustead of being sent to the sesAions. 5.143 added that she was guilty, and IVIr.

The rapid demands now made for the supply of war equipments required by the East India Com pany have rendered it necessary to increase the est iblishment of Woolwich Arsenal to a consider able extent, the carriage department being raised to the same footing as during the Crimean war. No difficulty has been experienced in obtaining artificers and labourers of every class, and as soon a 4 it became known that hands were ordered to be taken on the gates were thronged by upwards of 1,000 applicants.

THE MURDER IN CHESHIRE. THE SUN, LONFON, had been lighted some time. He was in his night gown. He had no nightcap on. I observed, as we stood -on the landing, that deceased's door was shut. I went down with James and Thomas into, the kitchen, the prisoner James carrying the gun. I did not hear him charge the gun again. When we got down some one said the kitchen door was open. I looked and found it so. After this James kt.ocked for the Irish men-servants, and they came shortly afterwards. We then searched the house, Thomas and Michael going into the cellar, and we then went upstairs. We went into deceased's bed room last, and found that he had been shot. No examination or search of the room was made. I afterwards returned to bed, being very cold. I did not see the gun charged.again after 1 came down. By Mr. Roberts—Never before saw the brace produced. [This was a piece of a pair of braces with a spot of blood on them, said to have been found in the farmyard yesterday by a Mr. Smith.] It was not a minute after the first report of firearms that I heard the second. It was not more than half a minute. WEDNESDAY EVENING OC f OBER 7. 1857 the window at one end of the hoUse, but knowing one of the servants had clogs on I thoughtit of no importance so long after the murder. I noticed also two ladders that were in the orchard to get fruit with. Otte of them would reach the window referred to. From the quantity of blood which had flowed from the deceased-I should say a person standing close by the side of-the bed would be likely to be sprinkled with it. Deceased lay with his head on the pillow, and from the mouth a stream of blood extended over the side of the bed and on to the floor, where there was a pool of it partly by the side of the bed, and partly under it. By the Coroner—ln deceased's waistcoat pocket, hanging at the foot of the bed, I found a key which opened the table drawer, and there I foundan order for 100/. on the Bank of Scotland, a bank receipt for 931.• and five sovereigns and 9s. in silver and copper money. In one of the pockets of de ceased I also found a shilling. [At this stage of the inquiry the coroner and jury retired and had some refreshment. The pri soner also partook of some. During the whole of the inquiry the prisoner sat at a table supplied to him for the purpose, and took notes of the evidence. He wrote suggestions also for questions by his solicitor.] POLICE INT ELLIG';?.:NUE.—Oct.6 MARYLEBONE.—The court was crowded to ex cgs in consequence of its having been the day appointed for the further examination of John Marks, coach builder, Bell-street, Edgware-road ; Samuel Marks, his brother, and Abraham Sim mondq, all of whom stood charged with having been concerned in tha frauda!ent disposal of property to the amount of many thousand pounds subsequently to a fiat of bankruptcy against the first named pri soner. Particulars of what transpired at former inquiries have appbared in our paper. Mr. Giff-ird app ared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh for S. Marks and Simmonds; and Mr. Solo mous for J. Marks. Mr. Wilding was present to watch t e case on behalf of several creditors. ----- Several witnesses having proved the sale and de livery of goods to large amounts to the prisoner, Wm. Molloy, whoiepreviousevidencehas already appeare 1, stated that the*gOods referred to in the pre edingi testimony had been received at the pre mises of the bankrupt, in w hose service he was, and that they were packed under the directibri of his employer, J. Marks, and the other pr:soneis occa si,nally assisted him in the packing. Portions of the goods were sent to Reigate, Ipswich, Cambridge and Weymouth, and be (witnes) received money at different times f.r bis trouble. Cro;s-examined by Mr. Sleigh—At the last exa mination I was absent. I was in the bands of the solicitor for the prosecution. I was sent to take a trip to Brighton for the benefit of my health. It is not true that I claimel 2001. from S. Marks, threatening that if he did not give me that sum I uld - transport them. I repeat, upon my oath, that I never made a demand of the kind, nor even a request, from either of the p3rCes to that eflect. I wrote a 1,-tter, but it was by direction of Samuel Marks j and in his back parlour. By kr.. Broughton—i men to swear that what I have stated is true, and ►hat I will abide by it. Mr. Sleija (handing him a lutter)=—ls that your Landwrit:ng ? Wi:ness—lt is. Hero the letter was read. It ran thus : "48, Ilerefurd-street, Aug. 13. " Sir,- -I think you have behaved estieriielY bad to me ; after working day and ni,:ht" to get your goods all nicely packed for you, you paid ins only a paltry 54.. Now, un less you give me 2001., I will go to tho_ Bankruptcy Court in Bainghall-street, and will send you all ont of the country. I know that you did not give me more than three parts value for the goods, an 1 you send to my house the 2301. I will givo you a few days to Consider, and if you do not semi, you will be sorry for it, for I will swear anything to get that amount, or more if I can.—Your obedient servant, MOLLOY." By Mr. Sleigh—The envelope of this letter is in nay handwi iting. - - By Mr. Gitfard—Samuel Marks made an ap poiutm: nt with me, and I wro:e the letter at his didation. He wanted to send me to New Zealand. lie gave me a sovereign after I htd written the letter. Mr. Broughton expressed his conviction that the witness had been guilty of a gross act of perjury. After some additional evidence, the prisoners w ra remand° I tiil to-morrow (this day) week. Application was male for bail, but Mr. Bough ton refuse 1 to accede to the request. John Harris, alias Pearce, a man well-known to the p slice, was charged with having stden a box and two coats, the property of Mr. O'Sullivan, laadloid of the Hope, Stephen-street, Lisson-grove. It appeared from tbe evidence that at one o'clock that morning the prisoner and two others wh) were wier him were standing at the bar of the home., and in a short time Braham, 302 D, who, with two more officers, hal kept watch upon the movements of the party, saw prisoner go up stains. Walker, 184, and Jerome, '295 D, went up in search of prisoner, and on the first landing the window leading to the wash -1101116 was found open, and a box and two coats were discovered on the said landing, the articles having been stolen from the prosecutor's bedroom. Pri soner, who hid oscapel over the wall, and upon whose hand was blood (ih , ;.re was blood also on the box), was shortly afterwards taken into custody, in Stephen's-court, by the officer Braham. The prisoner was remanded for a week. CLERKENWEIrL.—John Lowe, 24, a horse keeper, residing at 6,, Camden-passage, Islington green, wai charged with committing a series of violent assault,. Mr. James Rodgers, landlord of the Barnsbury Castle public-house, York-place, Bariasbury, said— Last night, between the hours of 6 and 7, the pri soner, whom he had nevor sten before, entered his iiOU3O and asked to be served with same beer. lie being the worse for liquor, his (the prosecutor's) daughter refused to serve him, and he then made 11$3 of the most disgusting and abusiv4 lsnguage. When the prisowr was asked to go out he refused to do so, upon which he proceeded to turn him out. Wlen he was put outside the door, prisoner picked up a large flint stone, and struck him a tre mendous blow on the face with it, cutting bis nose and blacking one of his . eyes. A number of persons came to his assistance, and the prisbnei blacked the eyes of more than a dozen others. Mr. Charles Coulson said he was at the Barns- bury Castle, :and was rendering assistance to the last witness, when the prisoner bit one of his knuckles, and bit through another of his fingers. Mr. E. T. Foreacre said he "helped to push that gentleman out of the house" (meaning the prisoner), when he was struck on the left eye, which was blackened in consequence. It was stated by the prosecutor that several per sons were most grossly assaulted by the prisoner. Police-constable Marsh, 170 N, took the prisoner into custody, and on his way to the station he threw him down twice, and also kicked him. The prisoner, in defence, said he was extremely sorry for what he had done, and begged to be for given, as be was the worse for liquor. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a perfect brute and a very dangerous fellow. He should for the first assault fine - him 205., or 14 days' imprison ment; 51., or two months, for the assault on Mr. Coulson ; 10s., or a week, for the assault ou the po'ica-constable ; and 205., or 14 days, for the as sault on Mr. Foreacre. _ The prisoner was locked up in default. 0.11.

Solomon ; opticians, 39, Albemarle- Atreet, Piccadilly. Observe —opposite the York Hotel, W By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and ex traordina-y improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances. These Telescopes possess such extraordinary power that some, three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece will show difitinetly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three-and-a-half miles distant and an object from 16 to 20 miles. For the waist coat-pocket, and aro of larger, and all sizes, with increasing powers accardingly. The Royal Exhibition, , lBsl. - A valu able, newly-invented, very small, powerful, Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a-half mile distant. They answer every pur pose on the Race-course and at the Opera-houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They ire invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachtin g , t o 'postmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, Camp, Perspective, and Race-course Glasses, with wonderful powers.—lnvaluable preserving Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this intention is, that vision impaired becomes pre served and strengthened and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much less magnify ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes to the dan gerous effects of further powerful assistance. Pencils can be suited at the mos , remote part of the world by send. in, one of the glasses out at their spectacles in a letter, and stating the dist lace from the eye they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their 'ago. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness, entirely different from all oth, rs, surpassing anything of the kind that has been, or probably can, be produced. Being of the same colour as the suin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at ehurehand at Fublic assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of o,inging noises in the ears is entirely removed, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-31, Alba rnarla-street, Piceadilly.—Opnosite the York Hotel, W. [P-Dvnarismassar.]—lt is with pleasure we notice the daily increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, ,cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow ing;: —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct.' 31, 1848.-- Geatlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention, When I began,taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doles within twenty-eight hours, under medleal advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my light ear, that when I turned my head ou the pillow it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had ~_pain and rort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat and a slight cough ; but the pain arouhd my loins was so great that I could nol, remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three inches ;rem the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and salt; and in less than a fortnight my appetite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation to far vanished that I have not tasted a "pill or drug of any kind since. I am much - stronger, can walk steadier, and less like a drunken man, &c.—JouN VASS, Land -steward.-- Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professors or Chemistry, Dr. Andrew lire ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wilmer; Dr. Ingram; Lard Stuart de Decies ; the Dowager Countess of Castle. stuart ; Major-Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable persons, whose health has been restored by it, after all 'other moans of cure had failed.. Suitably packed with full in atmetions.
