THE BANK PANIC A GO W. GLA Nov. 11. This morning the City of Glasgow Bank sus p payment, which event created great excite vent in the city. There was a run upon the ..Tational Security Savings Bank, and also upon the i3ritish Linen Company ; but while the latter bank was paying out gold the officials were very busy in receiving deposits. The run upon the Unioa Bank was met with the greatest readiness by the resources of the establishment and the large arrivals of gold. The further supplies expected from London seem to have quieted any feeling of panic, the run basing greatly subsided. The directors of the City of Glasgow Bank issued a notice that they had sus pended payment in the meantime, in consequence of the great demand made upon them for gold. During the day, however, the excitement caused by the event was greatly lessened by the fact that the other banks in town were accepting Western and City of Glasgow banknotes in the transaction of business, a course which the city authorities also adopted in receiving payment of the city taxes. The panic seems to be rapidly subsiding. GLASGOW, TUESDAY EvENncG. To-day the panic has increased to a must alarm ing extent. From the hour of opening to the hour of closing, the Union and City of Glasgow Banks have been blockaded to such an extent as to require a large police force at each establishment to pre serve order and to admit the public inbatches. The demands at both banks were fully and promptly met. Although the number of deposits called up was very large, it is gratifying to learn that the panic i s mostly confined to small traders and others, having but small accounts. Men of business have univer sally fall confidence in the different banks. The cause of the run upon the Union is believed to be in a great measure owing to rumours that tdat bank is largely involved in discounting transactions with Messrs. Dennistoun and Co. This, we believe, is quite unfounded, and any advances made to that firm are well secured. The pressure en the City of Glasgow Bank is no doubt greatly caused by an absurd panic -which occurred among the depositors with their savings branch last night. An immense crowd of depositors gathered at the branch bank in a very nervous condition, and although their united deposits would not amount to many thou sand pounds, their number caused a serious panic. At the National Security Savings Bank to-day the numbers of withdrawing depositors were immense, and considerable alarm existed. The Lord Provost addressed them on the groundlessness of their fears, and seemed to produce a beneficial effect. All the claims were promptly met, and the bank closed at the usual hour, with the intimation that it would open to-morrow at ten o'clock as usual. and explain ing the nature of their securities. Western Bank notes have changed hands at a discount of from 10 to 15 per cent. ; while some shopkeepers are trying to turn the suspension to advantage by offering to take these notes in payment of goods bought. In order to allay the alarm existing, the Lard Provost and magistrates met to-day, and ordered the following notice to be issued, and which is now being posted through the city;— " BY TRH LORD PROVOST AND MAGISTRATES.—It is with the utmost regret that the Lord Provost and ;magi strates have observed a very unfounded and uncalled-for alarm in the city with reference to the stability of the several banks. They lament to observe the unwarraee able distrust on the part of many persons who have been calling up their deposits with the banks ; and they feel it to be their public duty to assure their fellow-citizens in the most solemn manner that no cause whatever exists for any distrait of the perfect responsibility of the dif ferent banks to meet every shilling of their obligations. Even with reference to the bank that has found it neces• nary, temporarily, to suspend payment, no risk whatever exists as to the ultimate security of the depositors. The inhabitants may rest satisfied that the magistrates would not give them this assurance except from the most per fect conviction of its correctness : and they trust that the good sense of their fellow-citizens will restrain them from farther disturbing the monetary condition of the city, which cannot fail, if persisted in, from occasioning the utmost distress to the commercial and industrial interests of the town. "ANDREW GALBRAITH, Lord Provost. "Council Chambers, Glasgow, Nov. 10, 1857." The following circular has been issued by the direc tors of the Western Bank to the shareholders : " Glasgow, Nov. g, 1857. "Ladies and Gentlemen,—lt is our painful duty to intimate to you that a concurrence of circumstances of al adverse nature, both in this country and abroad, affect iog our pecuniary resources and credit, has clinpelled us to come to the resolution this day of suspending pay ment of the company ob igations, both at head-quarters and at the branches. " We can assure you that this resolution has not been adopted without anxious and persevering endeavours to obtain such support, from kindred establishments both in England and Scotland as, without involving much risk to them, might have enabled us to tide over our present difficulties, and avert a catastrophe which, on public as wall as private grounds, we shall never cease to deplore. This does not appear to us the proper time to enter into explanations as to the manner in which our applicatirns for aid were met. All that is necessary to say is, that the leading Scotch banks, after conceding assistance to a limited extent, on security, have seen it right to withhold all further aid. "In regard t 3 the future, two courses of action seem open to the bank, and to those who are involved in its embarrassments, whether as creditors or as shareholders. These two courses, although pointing at different ra• sults, may both be pursued simultaneously, and, we are advised, ought to be adopted for the interests and safety of all concerned. To understand this it will be neces sary to say a few words as to the position of the affairs of the bank. "Although no balance has been made of the books of the bank since the annual balance in May last, and although, no doubt, severe losses have been incurred piece that date, yet we have reason to hope, if time be given for the gradual winding-up of the affairs, that the company's assets will be more than sufficient to pay the whole debts. This, however, will much depend on the state of commercial affairs in this country and in Ame• rica during the next six months. But, at all events, the undoubted means of the individual partners of the company, if rendered available by a judicious system of realisation, are greatly:more than sufficient to guarantee payment Of all its deposits and other liabilities. " In these circumstances, the course which it appears to es would decidedly be most advantageous for all parties to pursue, would be an extension of time for pay ment of the debts and obligations of the company— 'coupled with a system and management of its affairs under inspection—and eventually, perhaps, an amalga mation of its business with that of some other bank. It belongs, however, to the creditors of the bank to express their opinion whether such a plan is the one most de sirable to be followed ; and for that purpose we propose, as soon as possible, to call together district meetings of tke creditors, at the places most convenient for them, that they may appoint some one to represent them should they not find it convenient themselves to attend at a central meeting to be held in Glasgow. It is quite obvious that this mode of arrangement assumes great forbearance, if not hearty co-operation on the part of individuals; but, where such extensive and widely raraified interests are at stake, it is thought not unrea sonable to hope that, should there be a diversity of view among them, the minority will yield to the majo ity. "The other course to be pursued is that of at once taking the preliminary steps for winding up in a legal way. Although this plan would entail great sacrifices in the realisation of the assets both of the company and of the shareholders, it became neceeiisary to resort to it. It is fortunate that an act of Parliament was passed last session to enable banking companies to place them selves under the operation of the Joint-stock Act of 1856, in all respects except as regards limited liability. The shareholders and their estates must, under all circumstances, remain liable t ) the full extent fur the debts of the bank. The adoption of this act would, in our estimation, be of importance, were the business to be carried on. But the act contains, besides, -very valuable and judicious clauses, enabling a company, placed in circumstances like the present, to be wound uti, and the means of the individual partners to be made available for the early liquidation of thedebts. To adopt this act requires only the resolution of a special general meshing of the shareholders. eve have therefore resolved on immediately calling such a meeting, to provide for t)ie eventuality of such a course of action being pre ferred by the creditors, or forced on the company by ad verse circumstances. "In conclusion, it is hoped you will see that we have been actuated by the single desire to do our duty to the creditors as well as tho shareholders iu the unfurtunate position iu which they have been placed ; and, at the tattiest practicable moment, to take the instructions of Vuove who are legally entitled to direct us to all further proceedings, —I am, ladies and gentlemen, your most obedient servant (by order of the directors), "J.

Such was the result of the confno however, that hats were kaceked off, and an imisende amount of jostling took place. The police succeeded in cierAriog the streets, and we have no doubt that to-day , the C;ty of Glasgow B an k w i ll b e equal b the demandsl With reference to the stoppage, the Glasgow Daily Mad remarks : "Such an event has long been unknown in Scotland, and it would be difficult to describe the feelings wt ich it excited in this large community. &mug dissatisfy sstion was expressed at the refusal of the older Scotch bee ks to lend the necessary aid in this severe crisis to the We: tern, and this dissatisfaction is likely to be increased the more the circumstances become known. The bad managei rent and bad debts of the Western Bank are now notorious. The diminished resourcee arising from these seilf-iii flicted calamities was the evil to begin with. But the greath wealth of the proprietary, and the healthy field of business that remained to the bank, were amply suf ficient to have surmounted this difficulty. There was no run upon the bank for gold, no discredit attached to its notes, no suspicion in any quarter of the solvency of the institution. Bat there began against the bank a process of what we may call 'sap and mine,' by the withdrawal of deposit accounts in the city, and of interest deposits in the country branches. Persons not receiving the accommodation to which they were accustomed, or fear. ful of not receiving it, withdrew their accounts ; and carrying out the notes of the Western Bank de posited them in other banking establishments. A heavy balance was thus formed against the West ern in the weekly exchanges of notes, and these balances, according to custom, had to be met by Exchequer Biala. It was to enable it to clear off this bi-weekly liability that the aid of the older and chartered banks was invoked, and in the first instance granted. But these concerns soon pulled up, It was really but a reasonable demand after all that was made upon them. They were daily receiving from the public the deposits the withdrawal of which was thus crippling the Western ; and what was asked was that they would not employ the advantage thus obtained against a sister institution in a manner fatal to its existence. For any risk they ran they had the unlimited liability of a pro prietary as numerous and wealthy as any of their own, and on a credit precisely similar to which they them selves hold 30 or 40 millions of deposits from the public. Every effort was made last week by deputations to Edinburgh, even of parties not connected with the Wes tern, and by proposals of various kinds, to induce the directors of these banks to extend the requisite assist ance in averting what could not fail to be a public catas trophe. A plan was even arranged for the amalgama tion of the Western and Cydeedale, by which the aiding banks would have had the security of two great un limited proprietaries instead of one. But this, too, was rejected, and it eves evident that the cc-operation which had been expected, and the first promise of which bad sent a thrill of joy and pride through all Scotland, was not to be obtained. Such is the feeling excited in this city by these circumstances, that we should not be sur prised to s- e the most effectual measures adopted to put an end to the petty and ruinous jealousy of banks taat tail from Edinburgh against Glasgow banks, and banks that have charters against banks that have none. In the meantime, the suspension of the Western is a blow to the whole community, and cannot fad to have some most unfavourable consequences. The first resolutino of every man who has the well-being of Glasgow an of Scotland at heart should be to prevent by all possible meats any movement on the part of depositors against other banks. Every bank in Scotland affords perfect security to depositors. On the other hand no bank what ever can stand against a run for deposits. The money lodged in our banks yields an interest to its owners. It has consequently all to be employed and invested in some profitable way, and while every bank keeps as much cash in its till as is sufficient to meet the ordinary demands of depositors, it is impossible that all can be served on the same day. We trust that every effort will be made to discourage withdrawals of accounts and deposits in the meantime from one bank to another. We understand that there has been a run this evening on one of the savings banks. This was to be feared, as the Western h as ; departments for savings in its various branches throu'ghout the town ; and the disappointment of its savings depositors was apt to be communicated to others of the same class. In order to check this movement, we would suggest to the directors of the Western Bank the propriety of paying off its small savings depositors at once." TilE S of all their depositors. So far as we could lea ru, saving the obstruction of the idlers, the nervous peal le would have been very satisfactorlly arranged with. THE MONEY CRISIS. (From the Times' City Article) This has been the most anxious day in the city since the height of the panic in 1847. The first disaster announced was the stoppage of another Scotch establishment—the City of Glas gow Bank, with a capital of 1,000,0001., a reserved fund of 90,5951., and 96 branches. This was followed by the suspension of the Lon don discount-house of Messrs. Sanderson, Sande man, and Co., with liabilities for three or three and a half millions, believed, however, to be amply secured by commercial bills and the property of the firm. The telegraphic accounts from Glasgow during the morning described a continuance of the run which commenced yesterday on the various banks, and nearly 800,000 sovereigns in addition to the 300,000 despatched last evening have been sent from the Bank of England to meet the demand. It was stated also that a military force had been found necessary at Glasgow to preserve order. When the Western Bank of Scotland, which stopped on Mond a,y,was applying for assistance to the other Scotch banks, its expectations were alleged to be based upon the fears to be entertained of the universal panic that would result if it were to close its doers. The coirage of the various institutions, however, was not to be shaken, and their feability is now being tried to the utmost. That the City of Glasgow Bank would be in danger seems to have been generally contemplated, but strong hopes are entertained that the remainder will stand their ground. The amount of its deposits is not known. They are supposed to be considerably be low those of the Western of Scotland, although still of great magnitude and widely diffused, owing to the number of branches, and the fact of the con cern having been established 19 years. It has an authorised note issue of 72,9311., and the extinction of th; s will be equivalent to a contraction of 46,6141. in the circulation, in addition to the suppression of 1 225,292/. from the failure of the Western Bank. Its shares are distributed among a larger number of persons than those of the Western Bank, the total in that case being 1,280, while in this it is 1.309. Of the prospects of a resumption of course no conjecture can yet be formed, but from the circum stance that the bank had agencies empowered to draw not merely in New York but California, it is to be apprehended a close investigation may show it has not been conducted with great prudence. The drain of gold to Scotland at the rate of more than a million in two days constitutes, of course, a most serious addition to the pressure in London. It must have its limits, however, and these can be clearly traced. The authorised note issues of Scot land amount to 3,087,2391. Beyond that total not a note can be put out, except against gold. Ac the last return the circulation was 4,051,2391., being 964,0001. in excess of the fixed sum, but specie was held to the amount of 1,573,546/. The UECOVE red paper currency was therefore 2,477,6931,, and the gold sent hence to-day and yesterday is, conse quently, nearly equal to 50 per cent. of the whole. Considerable quantities, it must be remem bered, had been sent previously, and further parcels, it is said, will be forwarded to-morrow, although it seems scarcely possible that more will be required. If the run consisted simply of note holders it would be altogether improbable that the existing supply would prove inadequate, but depositors are contributing to the panic, and a large number of these also claim specie. Nevertheless, whatever may be the demand on the Scotch banks, it is plain that their power of drawing upon us must be simply to the extent of the credits they have open, the Bank of England notes they may be able to collect, or the funds they can realties by sales on the Stock-Exchange. Of the entire deposits which they hold and which are estimated at more than 30 millions, only a very moderate proportion is avail able in this way. As far as London is concerned, ther.fore, the movement now taking place has no vague terror, , . For the moment it creates a most annoying aggravation of our troubles, but as it cannot go beyond a certain point, and even at the worst is not a withdrawal of gold from - the country, the Bank of England can meet it in a b slder manner and with more indifference as to the tem porary effect it may have upon their reserve than would otherw se be the case. Unfortunately the differences between Scotch and English law which have so long been permitted to embarrass the in tercourse between the two countries are most pro minent on all financial matters. Bank of England notes are not a legal tender in Scotland, and thus it is impossible even to lessen partially the incon veniences of the case by sending the required remittances in that form. The fact of about two thirds of the Scotch circulation being in notes under 5/ coupled with the known habits of the peopl e , especially of tl:e operative classes in Glasgow, in suing the banks as places of deposit for their saving., will account fcr any popular disturbances that may now have been threatened. Such move ments, however, are more evanescent and more easily met than those of larger capitalists, and, if tie- se should not take fright, the whop affair will prebably be of short duration. It appears that the rate of allowance of the Scotch I a iks for deposits throughout all the recent advance in the money market has not been raised above 4 per cent., although the changes in the rates of discount heve kept pece with these of the Bank of England. In deed, they were recently ch. e 87 per cent. when the London rate '. 8. a T r Ze tu r b easOns as-igned for keepin,gatnarstaee w a " llowaucs for deposits are ti3l3l:zttntshoef investmento api,roaching considered to offer the only iv ai to tuort gages or Consols, - uadthat as thefoX•se a r fe ea scarcely be obainel, and C onso l e pay a sattililolow:rninterest, 4 per cent. is a sufficient tempta.t n Annexed is the cireuh r issued by Messn.

These persons, when they get the money pay it into their bankers', by whom at the end of the day it is again paid into the Bank of England. Many merchants, in order to gratify au ignorant impulse of caution, have now at their bankers' two or three ti mes the amount they ordi narily keep. The reason they give is they "do not know what may happen." They might know, if they would take the trouble to reason, that the foreign drain having been almost wholly checked, there can be no increased demand for money, ex cept such as may be occasioned by their own fears and by any temporary contingency like the Scotch panic ; that under such ciroumatances, whatever is taken from the Bank must always within a few days retarn to it ; and that under any circum stances the Bank will continue to afford at the fair market price every accommodation it would ever have granted even in the calmest times. 4, LONDON, THT_TRSDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 1857 curity, a stated to bo between threo millions and three 113. illions and a half, while those to other Parti t. .t l may be about 200,0001.

TEE MURDER 1N lIEBTFORDSEIRE. STEVENAGE, Nov. 11. This Morning Jeremiah Carpenter, a farm la bourer in the employment of Mr. Horne, of Norton green farm, and who has been apprehended on sus picion of baying murdered John Starkins, one of the Hertfordshire county constabulary, was brought before the Rev. K Prodg,era and Mr. Morris Prior, magistrates of Hertfordshire, and formally charged with the offence. The prisoner, who is a powerful-looking fellow, about 5 feet 9 inches in height, and apparently about 40 years of age, was respectably dressed in the usual clothes worn by the labourers of the dis trict, but wore no smockfrock. Ho seamed to re gard the whole proceedings with callous indifference. He was not handcuffed. All the exertions of the police to discover the hat of the policeman and also the smockfrock in which the prisoner was dressed on the night of the murder have been hitherto unavailing. Some clothes seized by the police at Carpenter's house, which the prisoner stated were his, were sent to Professor Taylor for examination, and the evidence of that gentleman will be found below. The case presents many points of difficulty which require to be cleared up, and so important is it considered to ob tain some additional evidence that Capt. Robert son has brought almost all the inspectors to assist in the search, which has been hitherto unremit ting. Mr. Beaver, surveyor, of Hitchin, has been employed to make a plan of the fields in the neigh bourhood of the murder, which was produced at the examination. conduct him to Birmingham, it was thought Un necessary for Mr. Baker to attend. The officer then produced the correspondence which had passed between that office and the Birmingham police, and having satisfied the court on that point, the a!der maa ordered the prisoner to be given into the offi cer's cu3tocly to be conveyed to Birmingham, to be dealt with by the authorities of that-place. WORSHIP-STREET. Edward Jackson, an oil and colourman, in Leonard-street, Shoreditch, and his wife, Anne Jackson ' were brought up for re-examination, charg e d w ith having been found in possession of various valuable articles of wearing apparel, the property of the Countess of Ellesmere, and which had been abstracted, with a travelling trunk containing property to the aggregate amount of 15,0001., from her ladyship's carriage during her journey to Windsor Castle on a visit to her Majesty. Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, attended as before for the defence ' but no coun se l or a tt orney was pre sent to conduct the case for the prosecution. The facts adduced at the former hearing have already been published, and the following addi tional evidence was now proceeded with. Charles Frond, the driver of a cab 10,932, statod that at 6 o'clock on the evening of Jan. 12, 1856, (the day of the robbery) he was called off the stand in Davies-street, Grosvenor-square, by two men, one of whom directed him to assist in placing a largo black box inside of ilia cab, and, after having taken leave of his companion, he entered after it, and directed to be driven to Willow-walk, Shore ditch. As they were passing through Finsbury square he was ordered to proceed into Leonard street, on reaching which the man got out and walked away with the box, which witness had placed upon his shoulder, and be saw no more of him. He noticed at the time that the box was very weighty, and, to the best of his belief, it was ;he one now produced by the police as the property of Lady Eli esmare. THE _ROYAL BRITISH BARK. A meeting was beld last evening at the:Guild hall Tavern, in pursuance of a circular suggesting that the shareholders should then meet to take into consideration the propriety of subscribing the sum necessary to carry out an arrangement under which the creditors had consented to accept 6s. 6d. in the pound, in aldition to 103. in the pound ac cruing from the estate. After considerable discussion, Mr. R. P. HARDING the official manager, said the sum required was 180,0001. Of this, 65,0001. had been subscribed ; and, without referring to other shareholders, there were 69 who held 519 shares, from whom no offer whatever had begin re ceived. Steps had been taken to ascertain the names of these parties, and it was calculated that a sum of 113,000/. could be obtained from them. It was suggested that Messrs. Gillott, Mitchell, Harding, and other gentlemen should retire into a separate room and receive proposals. At the termination of these interviews, Mr. Harding reported that, iu ad dition to the 65,0001. already referred to, 27,0001. had been promised by former shareholders, 4,0001. by Mr. Stapleton, the only director who bad as yet subscribed, and 11,7001. by the 69 shareholders to whom reference had been made. Tnis made the amount 107,7001. out of the required 180,000/., and Mr. Harding expressed himself as having no doubt that the required amount could be got. Mr. PEARSE said he felt, after this, that the as signees were in a position to deal with every share- Older as his case required, and that there should be no delay in prosecuting their claims upon share holders who had not as yet contributed. _ _ Mr. LINKLATER observed that the 27,000/. pro mised by the original shareholders was conditional upon the other shareholders making up the required 180,000/. The assignees would give a release to a shareholder who they felt had contributed accord ing to his ability, but they would never allow a man to escape by payment of 500/. when he ought to pay 5,000/. While there were shareholders who had not contributed anything, there were others who had not contributed their due portion. It was ultimately resolved that Mr. Harding should communicate with shareholders who had not subscribed, stating to each the amount that would probably secure him a release, and urging him to return an answer within seven days as to his willing ness to pay that amount : and that Mr. R. Taylor (one of the assignees), and Messrs. Gillott and Mitchell, two of the shareholders, assist him in car rying out the resolution. w It was stated during the proceedings that Mr. Brockwell, who had succeeded in obtaining the re moval of his name from the list of contributories, had still proposed to pay a sum to obtain a release. TRIAL OP THE DIRECTORS OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BA..VK. Yesterday an application was made at chambers before Mr. Justice Crompton by counsel, on behalf of several of the defendants in this case, for parti culars of the charges to be preferred on the several counts of the indictment, which consists of general as well as of specific counts. Mr. D. D. Keane, Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Aspland appeared as counsel for the defendants, and the crown was represented by Mr. Joseph Brown. The application was opposed on the ground that thcugh the special counts con tained overt acts, yet the charges in the special counts were precisely similar to those in the general counts, and the application was therefore an appli cation for the disclosure of evidence. Counsel for the Crown, however, stated that he had put into the indictment all the overt acts which he knew of, such being the instructions of the Attorney-General, and that if he should become acquainted with any further overt acts before the trial he would apply to amend the indictment by inserting them, but he would give no undertaking to do so, or to confine his evidence to the overt acts mentioned. To this it was replied that the enumeration of the overt acts in the indictment was an embarrassment instead of a benefit to the defendants unless they were assered that none other would be sprung upon them at the trial. The learned judge was of opinion that so important a case as this ought to be taken to the full court, but his impression was against granting the order, inasmuch as the counts, in his opinion, did not contain specific charges. but only varied iu this, that some stated overt acts as well as specific acts, while others contained specific charges only. It was then pointed out to his lordship that the last count in each information was too general, as it did not contain any specific charge, and he made an order for particulars as to that count alone. Three informations have been filed against the defendants, because some of the persona named in the different informations are not liable with re spect to the whole of the time for which the others are. These informations, which have been filed at the instance of the Attorney-General, are laid against Humphrey Brown, Edward Esda.;le, Henry Dunning INl`Leod, Lorraine de Wolfe Cochrane, Richard Hartley Kennedy, William Daniel Owen, John Stapleton, Hush Innes Cameron, Lockhart Mure Valiant, and Frederick Valiant. The first cunt, which, in fact, charges the material offence, is that the defendants fraudulently conspired to re present that the affairs of the British Bank were iu a prosperous condition during the whole of the year 1855 and the half of the year 1856, and for that purpose, in order to carry out the conspiracy, to publish a statement of the affairs of the bank, to declare a dividend, when, in fact, no dividend had been earned, to issue 500 new shares when they well knew that the bank was approaching insol vency, and to publish false abstracts of time annuli balance sheets. It further charges that they did in fact publish such false statements, that they had paid dividends, as if they had been earned by the operations of the bank which had never in fact been earned, that to keep up the credit of the bank they put chased shares iu the market and paid for tbein out of the moneys of the bank ; that they issued circulars falsely stating that the bank was prosperous, and published advertisements inviting persons to become shareholders with the like object, and had also published a notice that they were about to issue a large number of new shares at a 5/. pre mium. With the exception of the last count, each information which is a general court to cheat the st I.l(3:Dents in the several counts are varied with respect to shareholders, customers to the bank, and leige subjects generally, the object charged being to deli-dui by inducing ,ueh ptiNoLs to buy new shares or to deposit money in the bank. No day for the trial ila.l yet been fixed, nor is it even yet known whether it will be a trial at bar or not. It has been definitely arranged that neither the Attorney-General nor the Solicitor-General will take any part in the tzial, :.nil that Si:. Frederick Thesiger will lead the prosecution on behalf of the crown. We underbtand that upwards of 50 coun sel have been retained fur the prosecution and defence ; and, fr im the voluminous nature of the evidence to be adduced, the trial will probably last throe weeks. A considerable number of German emigrants of both sexel visited on Sunday the Louvre and other public buildings of Paris. They nearly all left in the evening by railway for Havre. The depositions to-day were taken byMr. Veasey the magistrates' clerk.. Captain Robertson, assisted by Superintendent Barnes, conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Fitzjohn, solicitor, of Stevenage, watched the proceedings upon the part of the prisoner. The following is the additional evidence given to day : Inspector Hawkes, having been called, stated the deceased John Starkins, was stationed at Ste venage. Witness saw him last alive on Friday, the 3Uth of Oct., at 1 o'clock, when he went on his usual beat. Not returning at 3 o'clock, witness searched the town and made inquiries respecting him, but vrithout.obtaining any information. On the following day the search was resumed by wit ness and a policeman named Wilson, and from in formation he received he was induced to search the neighbouring fields, in company with soma of the neighbours. They had a dog with them and searched the woods, but without effect that day. They also inquired at the deceased's lodgings, but they had heard nothing of him. On the Sunday he received information that the deceased had been seen on the railway bridge on the afternoon of the day on which the murder was committed, and on Monday wit n,s3 summoned all his police force to join in the search. They commenced searching early in the morning, and about 11 o'clock police-constable Isgate, who was in the next field to witness, called to him to come to the pond. He went immediately to hiM, when Isgate showed him the dead body of Starkins lying in the pond. By witness's orders the corpse was taken out of the pond, when it was discovered that the throat was cut and the head newly severed from the body. There were other wounds found on the body. The deceased was dressed in his usual policeman's clothes and had his greatcoat on. About 20 yards from the pond witness observed the marks of a dreadful struggle ; the field was partly in grass and partly in turnips. The spot at which the scuffle took place was in grass and it was much beaten down, and was saturated with blood. Some of it was in a coagulated state. There appeared to have been between one and two quarts of blood in that spot. The bloody appearance was so great that it seemed as if a sheep or some other animal had been slaughtered. There was a'so an appearance as if a heavy body had been dragged along the grass to the edge of the pond ; the grass appeared t.) have been beaten down in one direction. He saw no footmarks. The grass was too high to leave any imprints of a man's feet on the ground. He directed the body to be re moved to an inn in the village (the Chequers) and left some officers to watch the spot. He then pur sued his investigation of the field, and about 95 yards from where he discovered the blood and in a portion of the field covered with wheat stubble he came upon another spot where there were marks of a struggle, and on examining the ground he found a quantity of wheat strewn about. The soil was disturbed there a good deal and there were marks of feet oa the ground, but not distinct. He saw no traces of blood there. The wheat appeared to have been spilt. Between the spot where the wheat was spilt and where they found the blood, nearer to the latter, a pair of handcuffs were picked up by one of the police constables. There were also marks of persons having passed between the two ap )ts. Mr. Prior—Was there any blood, or traces of blood, upon the hands of the deceased ? The witness replied that there were no such marks. Examination resumed—On Saturday following the murder witness called at the house of the pri soner, and found that he had a wounded leg. He asked him how he had hurt his leg, when he told him that the injury was caused by a piece of wood falling on it. He showed him the place, and it was very black and swollen, bat th-, skin was not broken. In reply to a que'tion he put to him the prisoner said that ho had been working in one of the fields on Mr. Horne's farm, andthat he hal come home by the side of Gunwell's wood, and ire front of , the 2 cottages standing in the field; heals() said.that he got home about half-past five. It was 1 o'clock when witness called at the bous.e of the prisoner, and he was surprised to find him home at that hour. Ou Monday he went again to the prisoner, and asked him where his knife was, and ho said that he bad given it to his son. When they dis covered that a murder had taken place they sus pected the prisoner immediately. He had the pri soner stripped and examined by a sergeon, and a'so examined his clothes, and saw what seemed to he traces of bloo 1 on his boots. The Rev. Mr. Prodgers—Have you any facts upon which you grounded your suspicions ? Witness—Ou the 21st of October I told Starkins that I suspected the prisoner had been stealing corn from his master's farm, and directed him to keep his eye on him. I also told him which way he went home from his work. By Mr. Veasey—He took possession of the pri sltier'A clothes, and subsequently gave them to Superintendent Barnes. By the Rev. Mr. Prodgers—The pockets of the deceased were not turn. There was no appearance of a desperate highway robbery upon Lim. Evidence was then produced for the purpose of tracing the deceased to the last moment at which he was seen alive. Professor Taylor was . then call e d, an d, h av i ng been sworn, made the following statement :—On Thursday, the sth of November, I received from Superintendent Barnes at the cbymical laboratory of Guy's Hospital the undermentioned articles—a knife, a smockfrock, a pair of corduroy trovvsers, a pair of boots, and a pair of gaiters. On Satur day, the 7th of November, I also received at the same place from Superintendent Barnes a shirt, a quart bottle containing a colourless liquid, a spade without a handle, and a wicker basket. These a titles have been submitted to a chemical and microscopical examination. 1. The kuife.—The blade was perfectly clean, and there were no marks of Vood either on the blade or on the handle. On removing one half of the buekhorn handle from the plate of iron to which it was rivetted there was a deep red stain mixed with ru=t and dirt. It was found to consist of coagu lated blood in a dry state. The blood must have penetrated between the buckhorn handle and the iron plate, and have there coagulated. 2 The smockfrock.— Tiris was damp, and felt as if it had been exposed to wet. It presented no appear ance calling for p ar ti cu l ar no ti ce . A portion which was stained was examined, but the stain was not owing to blood. 3. Th e cor d uro y trousers.—These presented many s t a i ns, chiefly at the back and on the sides. Five diff erent por ti on s were examined, but they yielded no ev id ence of the presence of blood. In the groove of a bone button taken from the left knee there was found a firm coagulum of blood. It had a bright red colour and was appa rently fre4i. In one of the holes of this button through which the thread bad passed, there was also a small coagulum of blood. The appearance was such as would be produced by the wiping of blood from the surface of the button. There was a slight smear of blood on the cotton string con ntcted with this knee. 4. The boots.—These were much covered with sand, mud, and clay. Portions of leather presenting the appearance of stains re sembling Mood were removed and examined. Tiler e was no satid'actny evidence of blood, but in adrli tioe to s Ind there was found by the aid of the mi croscope a number of starch granules, having the appearance of white starch. 5. The loather gait irs. —These presented some dark stains, especially on the left side. A c h em i ca l an d m i croscop i cal ex amination showed that these steins were caused by coagulated blood. Granules of wheat starch were also found mixed with bl oo d. - Th e l eat h er near these stains presented in some parts a rough ap pearance as if it had been scraped or rubbed. An inside loop of the left gaiter presents a smear of blood. This has be en left undisturbed. G. A siiirt. —Numerous small spots were found on the back, sides and front of the shirt. Some of these were others were outside, and had not en tirely penetrat e d. O ne s t a i n on the outside in front presented th e appearance of a smear. Stains of iron mould were found in some parts, aed slavin arising from blue vitriol was seen in front. The left wristband was stiffened, and the stiffening was found to be owing to its containing a quantity of soap not washed out, and not found in the other wristband or in the body of the shirt. This wristband presented one long yellow mark arising from iron mould, and several greenish-coloured spots arising from a solution of blue vitriol. There was not the slightest trace of sugar of lead in this wristband. Toe quart bottle contained a colourless liquid, which was found on analysis to be a solution of ace tate of sugar of lead, without any admixture of blue vitriol, or any preparation of iron or copper. The spade presented mark of iron rust intermixed with chalk, clay, and a few granules of wheat starch. 7. The wicker basket.—On portions of the wickerwork inside there were small stair's of a bright red colour. These were found to be owing to blood, the blood having apparently coagulated as it came in contact with them. This blood, like that found in the groove of the button, had the ap pearance of fresh blood. The conclusions which I draw from this examination and analysis are,—that there were stains of blood inside the handle of the knife, on the button, and on the corduroy trousers, on the outside of the gaiters, on the shirt, and on the wickerwork of the inside of the basket ; that the stains found on the inside of the handle of the knife, on the button of the corduroy trousers, and on the wickerwork of the basket, had the appear ance of coagulated blood. This appearance would be assumed by blood issuing from the body of a living person, or of one recently dead, that is, be fore the blood had naturally set or coagulated. That some of the small bloodstains on the shirt have been apparently produced by blood reaching it from the outside. That the bloodstains above mentioned present the characters of human blood. At the same time there are no certain criteria by which, in the dry state, human can be distinguished from animal bleed. No certain opinion can be given of the date at which the stains were produced on the handle of the knife and gaiters. The stains found on the button and the wickerwork of the basket have the appearance and properties of recent or fresh blood. Soap in large quantities and blue vitriol have been applied to the left wristband of the shirt—the soap subsequently to the washing of the shirt, and the production of the stains from blue vitriol. The lotion in the bottle would not account for the appearance and condition of the wristband. Several witnesses were then examined, whose evidence was taken before the reorder and reported in The Sun of Tuesday last. After the examination of those witnesses the pri soner was remanded till Tuesday next, and in the meantime the police will make a further search for the clothes of the prisoner, there being strong rea sons for supposing that a portion at least of them have been burned, and that those taken by the police on We Monday following the murder were either some old clothes belonging to the prisoner, orsoms that he had obtained from another labourer: On this hypothesis the garden of the prisoner and one or two others have been dug up. It is gene rally believed that the prisoner went out the night after the murder for the purpose of concealing the clothes, and also to dispose of the body of the mur dered man. POLICE INTELLIGENCH.—Nov. 10. MANSION-HOUSE. —George Harrison and James Hunter were charged before the Lord Mayor with having robbed Mr. Fred. Wm. Jacob, of Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, of his gold watch. Mr. Wontner attended f or Harrison. Mr. V. Prisnet - , clerk to Messrs. Padmore, of Hatton-court, Threadneedle-street, stockbrokers, said—l was at the end of Finch-lane on the morn ing of Lord Mayor's day, a n d f e l t a great crush. I observed the two prisoners and some other persons shoving against a lady and gentleman, who were together, and against Mr. Jacob, who was also in the crowd. Harrison put his fists t , gether in front of his breast and forced himself up against Mr. Jacob, who immediately seized him by the collar and called out for help, and Hunter then rau up to Harrison, evidently to take what he had got. Several other persons then rush©d upon them, and I saw something passed from one to the other, but 1 did not sea what it was, and the officer then came up and took the prisoners into custody. Mr. F. W Jacob said—l ',tin secretary to Spanish and American bondholders. 1 was going to the Bank of London on the 9th iust., and there was a great crowd in Threadneedle-street, and I stood in the middle of the road. Several persons were in front of me, and all at once a man put his hand into my waistcoat-pocket and took out my watch. Harrison was the person. I held him tight till the officer came and took him. He struggled very hard to get away from me. I did not see my watch after wards. I felt the guard distinctly broken from the watch when it was taken. Franks (631 1 4-I was in Thread nee dl e - s t ree t a t the time, and eard.cries of " Police !" and I went to the spot. I saw Harrison struggling in Mr. Jacob's grasp, arid endeavouring to got away. Mr. Jacob said that Harrison had stolen his watch and gave that prisoner into custody ; and Mr. Prisnet pointed out Hunter, who was then trying to force his wsy through .the crowd, and said that Hunter had received vinething from Harrison. I then took Huntaiinto-clistedy and Mr. Jacob charged them both. Mr. Wontner cross-examined the witnesses, but their testimony was not weakened by the ingenuity of his-exertions for Harrison. Hunter said he was innocent of the offence. Mr. Wontner submitted that a jury would not return a verdict of guilty against Harrison in such a case. It really appeared to be a mere case of fun in which his client had been engaged on a day remarkable for larking in the streets, and that some practised thief bad taken advantage of the confusion produced upon the occasion to run away with the prosecutor's watch. The Lord Mayor said the fun was just what the most active and ingenious thieves were in the habit of practising, and. he would neither summarily dis pose of it, nor decide it in Petty Sessions, but would refer it to the more serious consideration of a jury. The prisoners were then committed for trial. William M'Clure was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having deserted from the 19th Regiment of Foot, and also with having stole❑ a pair of shoes, the property of a private in the regiment. _ _ . Isaac Wilcox, a private in the 19th Regiment, said he was in the recruiting service. On the 25th of last month he missed his shoes from the place at which he lodged, and on the same day the prisoner, who had enlisted in the regiment, ran away. Some days afterwards the prisoner was met in the street, and upon his feet were the shoes which had been stolen. The prisoner—l am guilty. The Lord Mayor—You must go to Holloway Prison for two month;, and labour hard there ; when you come out your commanding officer w i ll deal with you for the desertion. When you are discharged from the prison you will bo a better soldier. . _ _ The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknowledge his receipt of 101. from M. A. C., fur the poor-box. ....•••••.• ►m. GUILDHALL.--George Berry, a travell-r, in the employ of Messr s . H u t ton and Slee, of Now gate-street, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Phillips, charged with eali , ezzling 6'. 7s. Bd. and 6,/. 18s. 3d., the m oneys of his employers. Mr. George Stephen Rix said—l am a cashier in the employ of Messrs. Hutton and Co., fringe manufacturers, of 5 and 6, Newgate-street. The prisoner was a town-traveller in their employ, in which capacity it was his duty to collect orders and money on account of his employers, and to account for them each d a y as h e rece i ve d them, and to hand the money over to me; He has not accounted to me for the sum of 61. 7s. Bd. received of Mrs. Ro berts on the 10th of October, nor for the sum of Cl. 18s. 31 received from the same person on the 31st of October; neither does the book contain the en try of either of these sums. C ros--examined by Mr. Wontner, for the pri soner—l have on many occasions given the prisoner particular directions when to account forthe money. 'There is a commisSion allowed him in addition to his salary, but I am not aware if there ii a balance due to him, as that belongs to another department. Sarah Roberts said—.l keep a Berlin wool ware house, at No. 30, Wigmore-street, Cavendish-square, and on the 10th of October last I paid the prisoner 6/. 7s. 81, and -On the 31st, Cl. 18s. 3d. ; and he signed the receipts produced in my presenc3. I paid those amounts on Messrs. Hutton 's account. Mr. Wontner said this charge was open to ex planation ; but he would not object to a remand. Alderman Phillips said he would remand the case till Saturday, but he could not take bail. William Metric tt, who gave Irmself into custody last week fOr embezzling - 45/. Hs., belong , n; to his master, Mr. George Baker, of Cecil-street, Birmingham, when a detective officer from Bir mingham attended, and said a warrant had been out for the apprehension of William Mennett, for absconding from Mr. Baker's employ in 1854. with 45/. 11s., and from the description given in the fine and Cry he believed the prisoner was the same pers.m. Alderman Philips thought it extraordinary that no person from Mr. Bak, :r had atteudeJ, and itsked the officer by what authority ho claimed the prisoner, as he had•no warrant with him ? The officer said, Mr. Baker would have to come to London ; but a s the wit ness li ve d i n that part of the country, and the communication stated the prisoner wo ild be given up to any officer sent to Trios. Gem y, a horsehair corder in Antelope-gar dens, Shoreditch, stated that shortly before eight o'clock on the night referred to, he found the empty box produced, the look of which had been wrenched off, upon a piece of waste ground at the rear of his house, within about 300 yards from that of the prisoners. Eliza Parsons, a poor widow in the neighbour hood, was then examined, and stated that she had boen in the occasional habit of washing for the fe male prisoner, in whose possession she had seen ar ticles of dress of the most costly description. Some lace handkerchiefs and part of a dress which had been proved to be the property of Lady Ellesmere were here shown to the witness, who recognised two of the articles as a portion of those to which she re ferred. A valuable black scarf was also exhibited to her, in reference to which she stated that since the former examination she had been spoken to by the female prisoner, who urged her to give evidence to the effect that she had known it as her property for five years, but she declined to do so as she had never before seen it. Inspector Brecknell—ln the absence of a prose cutor, perhaps your worship will allow me to ask the witness whether she can give any evidence re specting certain diamonds. Witness—Yes, Mr. Jackson once showed me two very splendid diamonds, which she told me had been sent to her by a gentleman in Australia, who had paid his addresses to her before she married her husband. The luspector—And I believe she has som• dis. closures to make in connection with a copper tea kettle. Witness—You mean the kettle that Mrs. Jack son gave ma to take care of, when her husband was in trouble about receiving a cask of butter. I re member there were two watches in it, besides some silver plate, a longjewel box, and a lot of rings, with pearls and red stones, but, I returned the whole of them to her about 10 days afterwards. Police-constable Evans then deposed, in addi tion to his former evidence, that on the discovery of Lady Ellesmerd's property at the house in Leo nard.street, a portion of it was claimed as her own by the female prisoner, who declared that some of the articles were presents from her mother, and that others had been given to her byafemale friend in the Hampstead-road. With regard to the haberdashery goods which had been found upon the male prisoner, their owner had not yet been traced, but he had ascertained that the man Woodward, from whom Jackson alleged he had obtained the property, was now in the House of Correction un der a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment for re ceiving stolen goods. It having been intimated by the police that fur ther time was necessary to complete the investiga tion, the prisoners were again remanded for a week, but the magistrates required them to put in an in creased amount of bail for their future appearance. W. Enzor, 17, was charged with creating a dis turbance in the Standard .Theatre, Shoreditch, and assaulting one of the officers.in uniform. attached to that establishment. Lambert, the complainant, stated that several persons from the boxes having complained of the conduct of some person above them in the gallery, he proceeded there, and catitioned the defendant, whose language was of the grossest description. The interference, however, only irrcreased the evil, and witness proceeded to remove him. A scene fol lowed that was not in the progismme of the even ing's entertainment ; defendant resist e d v i o l en tly, and but for the aid rendered by a cabinetmaker, complainant really believed he should have been killed, as the offender called loudly for assistance from his companions. who to the number of half-a dozen most shamefully complied. The performance was for the period stopped, a portion of the wood work of the gallery was torn up, and a heavy blow made at the officer's head happily averted by a man standing near. Lambert was severely injured by kicks dealt principally by the defendant, who was well known as one of a band of ruffians frequenting the railway terminus. This gang went by the name of the Fotty Thieves. Mr. Heritage, for the proprietor, assured the magistrate that every care was taken to conduct the theatre, which was most respectably attended, with the greatest order. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he believed this, and would not tolerate such abominable misbehaviour. Sent for one month to the House of Correction in default of paying 40s. and costs. CLERKENWELL,—Thomas Sayers, the well known pugilist, and at present the champion of England, attended before Mr. Corrie, at the in stance of the parish authorities of St. Pancras, charged with refusing to support his wife, Sarah Sayers. • Some facts connected with this case have already appeare l from which it will be recollected that Mr. Birchtnore, the relieving officer, stated that the de fendant h a d re f use d to support his wife, aid that she had therefore become chargeable to the parish, and was now an inmate of the workhouse. The de fendant refused to support his wife on the ground Viat she had committed adultery, but took his chil dren away, and well looked after them. Some witnesses were called by Mr. T. Wakeling for the defence, who proved that a number of men had been seen in Mrs. Sayers' room at all hours of the Light, and that she was a very drunken and dissolute person. Mr. Wakeling proposed now to call Sayers' child, a girl about 7 years of of age, to prove that strange men had been seen in bed with her mother. Mr. Currie said he would not examine a child so young, and he would take upon himself the respon sibility of refusing her evidence. lie would adjourn the case for any time that would suit the defendant. Mr. Wakeling asked for an adjournment fur a fortnight. Mr. Birchmore had no objection to an adjourn ment, but was prepared to have the case decided at once. He should be able to show that Sayers had visited his wife lately. The case ultimately was adjourned for a fortnight. THAMES.—Thos..Ashwell, a master tailor, at the corner of Holmes-street and Green-street, nearly opposite John Kuox's Church, Stepney, who had been out on bail, surrendered before Mr. Sel:e to answer a charge of stealing gas, the property of the Commercial Gas Company. Mr. Safe having heard the case said that if there bad been anything like satisfactory evidence that the pipe now in cciurt, and called a " jerry," had been fixed with any felcmions intention, he should have c3mmitted the prisoner for trial. There was no p r etence for saying that it had been fixed before the pipe me ter was removed, and it was possible themete failed to register the gas consumed. Th e 'r prisoner had acted most improperly in fixing this with out the sanction of the gas company , fo iah man, and and without had giving beenthm them guilty iiot i o c f e . He w a nu nla a w s f a u v l a er c y t, but c there was no case on which a jury would convict the prisoner of felony. He should inflict a penalty of 101. Mr. Jones added that theprsonor was liable to a penalty of 2/. f or every night he surreptitiously used their gas. --- WA NDSWORTH.—Mr. William Watling, the extensive pork-pie manufacturer and provision merchant, of Pimlico, was summoned before Mr. Ingham, at the instance of the Wandsworth Dis trict Board of Works, for having caused a nuisance at his piggery in the York-road, Battersea-fields, by the boiling of stale pork-pies. Mr. Corseilis, the clerk of the board, stated that this was a proceeding to prevent a recurrence of the nuisance which was likely to occur daily. His instructions were that the nuisance was caused by the boiling of stale pork-pies to fatten the pigs. Mr. Dune3mb , who appeared for the defendant, said that statement was not correct ; and ho could Mr. Ingham thought the evidence was very slight, and recommended an adjournment of the summons for the partiEs to come to an arrangement. The officers did not complain of Mr. Watling as a manufacturer of pies, but of his boiling them for food for the pigs. The summons was accordingly adjourned, Mr. Drincombe stating that there was no doubt his wor ship would hear no more of the case. Country Markets. EDINBURGH HAY AND STRAW MARKET Nov. 10.

These pies were highly flavoured, and patro nised by nearly all the licensed victuallers ' - and, therefore, whe n th ey were b ro k en up and boiled with the other food for the pigs, it was not likely that it would cause such a nuisance as complained of. The defendant kept a great many pigs, and his premises were at ]e as t 100 yards from any dwelling. He denied positively that any nuisance exited. Dr. Conner, the medical officer of health for the sub-division of Battersea, said on one occasion he experienced a most offensive smell, which he traced to the defendant's premises. He was in the habit of passing the premises daily, and only experi enced that offensive smell on one occasion. He spoke to Mr. Watling, who expressed his willing ness to do anything that would obviate the evil. Mr. Duncombe said, according to the suggestion of the medical gentleman, his client had placed a lid over the large copper, with a shaft to carry off the smell. Dr. Connor said he afterwards recommended that the lid should be placed much lower, and the shaft con- , iderably higher. He had never tasted ;Mr. \Vatline's pies. Mr. Young, the surveyor of the board, and also inspector of nuisances, spoke to having experienced the offensive swell on two or three occasions. He also stated tint the neighbours had complained. Ile said the smell was much more offensive outside than it was in. Ile had the lid taken off, and saw that the food consisted of materials such as are used in pork pies. The foreman told him that the pies were boiled to extract the fat. He liked Mr. Wat liug's pies.
