EVENING EDITION. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (WEDNESDAY EVENING.) POST.—There was nothing passing at the Stock exchange to-day out of the usual course. Consols were quoted 92.1- to Money, and 93i to for Ac count ; Exchequer Bills, 265. to 28s. prem., and Bank Stock, 176 to 7. The shutting of Consols and the New Three-and-a. Half per Cent. Annuities was what is called a " a good shutting," and money was to be ob tained on the moderate terms of 4 to 5 per cent. The sales of Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock which took place some days ago are ascertained to have been made with a view to the reinvestment of the proceeds in City Bonds, the inducement being the higher rate of interest payable on the latter. The Foreign Funds were flat, with little doing. Five per Cent. Dutch Bonds were quoted 1011 to i; Brazilian, 76i to ; and Active Spanish, with the overdue Coupons, 271 to 1. The circumstance of the Finance Minister of Spain being about to issue a large amount of bonds on Treasury Bills, as soon as the sanction of the Cortes can be obtained to the measure, has had a very depressing influence on the market for these funds ; but we should not be surprised if the agents here were at this moment: once more employed in the same way as in 1837. The public cannot be too auspicious, after the criminal act! that are known to have taken place at that period. We allude, of course, to the clandestine issue of stock, as a means of raising money. A geed deal has been said within the last day or two about the non-payment of a crossed check by one of the private banking-houses. The rule among the London private bankers is, and has been for many years, not to recognise such checks otherwise than at the clearing house, and if Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. hare refused to pay one of them over the counter, contrary to the universal practice of the metropolis, wo consider that they have done quite right. The circum stance of the check in question being presented by tke manager of a joint-stock bank is nothing to the purpose, but :it is to the purpose that the amount was large (25,0001.), ac, in this circumstance, there was ground for more than ordinary caution. The idea of the pri vate banks being allowed to participate in the advantage of the clearing-house belonging to the private banks is absurd in the extreme. The clearing system, and an excellent one it is, was adopted by the private bankers long before the joint-stock hanks were heard or thought of. The private bunks have every motive of self protec fon for declining all connection with the joint stocks. Tee principles upon which the two interests conduct their business are too clashing to admit of a coalition betwcen thorn. The, meaning of tt e house that drew this check for 5,000/., in crossing it, was that it should not be psid other wise than at the clearing-house. It is evident therefore that no rensonah!o complaint can come from that quarter of the course taken by Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co. The crossing amounts to a positive order, and it is one which has received the sanction o. our Law Courts. SUN.—The transactions in the public securities were eartied on to some extent this afternoon, chiefly as respects real business, and, as there were some good purchases, Consols for iminatflate transfer rose to 93, closing, how ever, at and for the 16th of July they touched 93i ; Exchequer Bills were firm at 261. to t.lBs. prcrnium ; Bank Stock was firm at 1761-, and the New Toree-and-a-Half per Cents. obtained 1011 to - 7 1. The Foreign Securities were not at all the magnet of attraction, the attendance of the jobbers being very sb y . The oxpress from Paris, ann , .;uncing the retreat of the Carlists from the neighbourhood of Morella, which was sure to fall into the hands of the Christinos, who were within the wails, had but a slight effect on the Bonds, which from 27-g , rose to 27!. To-morrow, however, the market wilt no doubt be improved ur, - ,11. Portuguese old Bonds were done at C9.-} ex div., Chilion Sleek at 87, and Brazilian at a decline to 76: 1 ,-. The Brighton 11..tilwav Shares declined to 4,-1- 5 dis count, the Great Western to 321- premium, and the South Eastern to discount ; Birmingham and 11,rby Shares were at 144, «nd North Midland at LI, discount. .Natiouil and Provincial Bank of England were firm, at fol premium. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FLOM TITS MORNING PAYERS or THIS DAY. (From the Times.) In reply to Mr. Serjcant Talfoard, on Tuesday asst, who eteted a ease of what wo hold to ha illegal ptinsa_ meat inflicted en the Chartist Vincent, Mr. Fox Maule Aelenecated very lustily "the exenernent of popular sym pathy in favour of one who had dbne much to disturs the public peace.'" It is well known that we are no advo cates of Chartists. But much worse would be the advo cacy of unlawful punishments, in virtue of a power as- Emoted by gentlemen-justices, to inflict sufferings, whether in the native of bardebips or otherwise, more severe than had :bean war-anted by the sentences of judges, and, therefore, as we conctive, not warranted by law. Mr. Fox Maule's at tempt at apcsaking, On the above occasion, was throughout so admission that the law had been violated, and an excuse rev the violation of it. Lord John Russell was about to atenrnhan, hem weal:ness, the principle of the preroga tive which had been confessedly strained through violence, whola Sir flebere Peel came in to the rescue of the Crown frock the hands of its cevn spiritless confidants and guard iaes, aan:l remonstrated strenuously anainet this breach of trust. Bur:this, though the formal subject of debate, was not taws merit:ale or eubstantial part of the subject. The eits_ence of th e qu es ti on , not touc h e d upon in this instance within, :1,0 walls of the House of Commons, has neverthe less coot plod tare serious and indignant attention of Her Mak' ity '5 subjects. out of doors. The question is asked in every q'sa rtor—if men " who have done much to disturb the ... pti!iiSc peace" arc to b e pun i shed beyond the letter of tine r.ain„ 'according to the Under Secretary of State ; and if Zaleeg ra. Vincent sa d Feargus O'Connor—apostles of edition,. as we must aderrit—are thus to be dealt with by,this Ll'erral Government, how comes it that other culprits h.rve done so much more than either of the 1 1 7 rove personages "to disturb the public peace," are i.eft not merely unpunished, but unprosecuted? (From the Morning Post.) We cannot help regretting that so very important a subject as tient of the emigration of our surplus labourers to British posses dons beyond sea, which arc in the want of haboureee. should have been discussed in so thin a Iftuse as that of Tuesday evening. It is to be feared that such a circus ester:cc as this may he la'd bold of in 'order to increase t he hatred of the Legislative Govern ment of this coup try, which many political incendiaries are constantly incukating upon large bodies of the peo ple. It will he said that this question, which so im mediately concerme the interests of the lowest and most destitute classes, had an that very account no attrac tion fur the cm: ed of Members of Parliament ; and ether questions c f a party character, but not so im mediately interesting to the mass of the people, will be panted as commending a hundred times more ear nett attention in the House of Commons. Honourable Idernbers ought to be cautious not to, leave room for repro. seritations of this kind. We have no doubt that the Mem bers who staid away, as well as those who attended, do feel a very great interest in the welfare of the working Cheeses. It was not because they were indifferent to the subject that they did not attend, but because they knew that nothing practical nor important was likely to follow from a motion introduced by Mr. W. S. O'Brien. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We stated yesterday that the Corn-laws had two most obvious and disastrous results; and we confined ourselves to one of those—tike disease and death which they inflict directly and indirectly on the population. The other result is not less formidable and fatal—the daily de struction they inflict on our foreign trade and our home manufactures. In neither case can the ques tion be allowed to rest where it does. The Leeds Mercury (the representatire of a large and important neaufacturing district) says on Snturday, " The manu factures of Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and tire United States, have of late years increased more rapidly than those of England. This is not surprising, aster; it is notorious that our restrictive Corn-laws keep the chief necessary of life at least 50 per cent, higher in England than on the Continent ; whilst the Continental Governments, very naturally provoked by our exclusion of ih it produce, enact exclusive tariffs against our mnufac tuees, and encourage their own. Thus the English manu facturer has to struggle against a combination of natural ascl artificial disadyaktages, which all his skill and enter .:Priae are unable to overcome—high taxes—exclusive i iriffe— an d r i val manufactures. " But hard as the situa on of the English manufacturer now is, it is likely to hooorne still harder. The countries of the German Com mercial League have distinctly offered us this alter_ native, namely to reduce their duties if we will admit their corn, but to raise their duties if we continue to exclude their corn. As their Ministers and mer chants perceive that the English Parliamentringteisrariseesotlhveeidr not to after the Corn-law, theya e re f p th re e p a duties at the e nsu i ng settlement ( From t h e Morning Chra7zic t r iff. The severities infli cte d on those who aree.:swuffering im prisonment for sediti ous lib e l show that an the Press has been silently created, of a chatrPhaocwteerrroyft unconstitutional and unjust. Even the Judges it appears, did not know what they were doing when they sentenced O'Connor and Vincent. The punishment thee; intended was much lighter than that which actually f e ll lowed. The House of Commons, it also appears, did n comprehend the mi s chi e f w ith w hi c h i t attempted to dealot, in the amendment to the Prison Regulation Bill, but left untouched the authority for recent cruelties derived from the Tory statute of 4 Geo. IV. The present alleviation proposed by Lord Nermar.by is only of a discretionary and arbitrary character; and even that seems not to find favour in the eyes of the Tory Peers. These circumstances are oreieoes to the right of freely discussing, public men and ianesures. The powers of the Home Secretary aro at present exercised by an individual who has been threatened with impeachment for his leniency towards offenders. The oyprestive action of which the machinery la capable, is littl e likely to be developed while Lord Normanby con thauee ia his present office. (From the Morning Herald.) The enemies of the Corn -laws or•ertailnaturally enough, feelings of deep dislike tog. u cf Buekingham and Caandos. has ~undoubtedly, verned the hatred of those sordid man a u ce f who would f can add to their Eeree,selinsthprie:ltlettsaiOnlegh'aclhfeon;etlhe paid as wages to labourers, sad who stun now knew: that their plot against the independenc evi of the la bouring: classes can seeeeed only hy thro tient:on all the lighter soils of this countr;ig o T u h t e D f pointn, the Anti- CUr 4 : Buckiegliam has resisted, at all law conspiracy against the best interests of En Meer. natural is it, therefore, we repeat, that the tools of the finti.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY. THURSDAY-MAY 28. Mr. W. C. Burns of London, and Mr. Bar ber, elder from Manchester, who appeared with some other members of the Presbyterian Synod in England, as a deputation from that body, were heard at the bar of the Assembly. They expressed generally their pleasure in being allowed to stand before the venerable Assembly, and thanked them for tho deputa tion they had sent to their meeting in England last year, and gave a gratifying account of the progress of the Presbyterian cause is England. STRATIIBOGIE CASE. Parties having been cited in this cause, Mr. P. Ro bertson appeared for the seven suspended Ministers, and Mr. James Moncreiff sisted himself for the parishioners of Marnoch. Mr. ROBERTSON stated that he did not mean to go over again the general argument which he addressed to the house on Tuesday, and as he was not aware of any particular point to which the house wished him to ad dress himself, he begged to say that he had no further argument to urge. It was afterwards agreed that Mr. Robertson's state ment should be put in writing, and entered on the re. cords of the Court. Parties were then re moved. Mr. DUNLOP, after a tedious speech, in which he recommended severe measures towards the Strathbogie ministers, moved the following resolution—" That the General Assembly, in respect of the proceedings of these parties, in violating the orders of the Commission and the General Assembly by proceeding to the settle ment of Mr. Edwards, find that they are censurable ; and in regard to the other matters which have been brought up, find that they are liable to be proceeded against by the laws of the Church : but before deter mining farther upon that subject, they appoint a Com mittee of the House to deal with these men, and to re port to a subsequent diet of the Assembly." Dr. COOK said it was with difficulty he had been able to restrain the feelings of indignation with which - he had repeatedly been filled since the commencement of this Assembly at the attempt of identifying those who sat on his side of the house at the present moment with all the proceedings that took place on the part of the men who sat on the same side in the ages that were gone by. —(Hoar, hear.) After some other remarks, he pro posed the following motio i :—" The General Assembly having considered the case of the seven ministers of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, suspended from the office of the ministry by the Commission in December last, which sentence was to remain in f o r c e, u n d er the circumstances in which it was pronounced, till it was removed by the General Assembly, are of opinion that as the seid sentence was pronounced solely because the seven ministers conscientiously yielded obedience to the instructions of the Supreme Civil Courts in a case which was stated by those Courts to be a civil matter, the Assembly, under the peculiar cir cumstances and yet unresolved difficulties of that case, do not consider the parties on that account answerable; and the Assembly do, therefore, remove the suspension, and restore the said ministers to the full exercise of all their ministerial functions." The roll being called, there appeared for— Mr. Dunlop's motion Dr. Cook's Majority --82 EVENING SEDERUNT. The Assembly met at a quarter to seven o'clock, and resumed the debate on th e general question of the po sittors of the Church —its spiritual independence, and the non-intrusion principle. The motion of Dr. Chal mere and Dr. Cook's amene.meet having been read— The Lon') PROVOST of Edinburgh said he had no desire to intrude himself on the house, but he d:d feel it incumbent en him t o state hi s v i ews on t h e all-impor tant subject which occupied their attention. The Bill pretended to place patronage on the same footing as it ►vas under the Revolution settlement ; but, if it did so, it would restor e the patronage to the heritors and kirk ses.eoes of the parishes. His Lordship went on to re mark that that admirable state of matters was set aside by the Tory Ministry of the day.—(Great laughter on the Moderate side of the house.) He would add that Lord Aberdeen's Bill itself was the very essence of To ryism.—(Continued laughter.) After some other re irks with respect to the constitution of the English Church, which were imperfectly heard, but which seemed to afford infinite diversion to the Moderates, and was received with bursts of laughter, his Lordship concluded. Mr. BIS6ET, of Bourtrie. proceeded to answer the remarks made by the Lord Provost. As to non-intru sion, he would ask—Did the intelligence of Scot land declare for non-intrusion ? He said, N o .— (Cries of "Oh ! oh !" from the non-intrusion, and " Hear, hear," from the moderate side of the house.) He rested his assertion on the fact that its five univer sities retu r n e d mem b ers w h ose sent i ments were de cidedly hostile to non-intrusion.—(Hea r , hear, hear.) Four-fifth s of the students in the universities were hostile to non intrusion, and in favour of Lord Aber deen's bill...._.(Uproar.) He asserted, therefore, that the universities, representing the intelligent classes of Scotland•—four-fifils of the intelligence of Scotland— held the.e opinions. He was just going to say that the lion. Gentleman was a very good representative of the constituency of which he was the head in regard to municipal matters, but public opinion was most unequi• vocally declared against him in regard to non-intrusion, Mr. EARL MONTEITII—•That is not to the point at all. I rise to order. Dr. BRYCE—Mr. Bisset is perfectly in order. Mr. BENNIE—He is perkctly in order, and ought to ')e allowed to state his views distinctly. Mr. BISSET—The Right Hon. Gentleman appears here from what I may justly call the Old Sarum of Scotland—(Great laughter)—the representative of two members of our Church.—(Continued laughter.) The LORD PROVOST—If the Reverend Gentleman goes on in this way, it involves the necessity of a reply. (Continued laughter.) Mr. BISSET then shortly concluded by reasserting his statement, that the intelligence of Scotland was in favour of Lord Ab er d een ' s Bill , and opposed to non intrusion, beca use t h e corporat i ons of large con stituencies had invariably returned moderates to the Assembly. Dr. PATRICK NIACTARLANE was perfectly re dy, when the time should arrive, to resist, to the loss of all those emoluments and benefits derived from the State, rather than abandon what was not merely a privilege of the Church, but an article of the faith.—(Great applause from the non-intrusionists.) Dr. HILL approved of the Bill. Mr. MONTLITII, ia a lengthened speech, opposed the Bill. Dr. COOK being called, said he did not intend to ad dress the house, at that late hour, at any length. He had an earnest deLire that the Church should be extri cated from the situation in which she was placed. Several attempts bad been made, but hitherto without success. He tremble,d for the Church if this present state of things eanti.r.med. Dr. CIIALYIERa replied. On a division, o'l voted for Dr. Chalmers's resolu tion, and 1`,3-1 for the motion of Dr. Cook ; majority, 87. Adjout aed at a quarter from two o'clock. FRIDAY—MAY 22. Dr, Cook gave in the foilowing reasons of dissent against the decisio❑ of the Assembly in the case of the suspen( led ministers, which have been signed by almost the whole of the minority. " 11; e the undersigned, Ministers and Elders, Mem bers of the General Assembly of the Church of Scot land, I ►issent from the proceedings and judgment of the Asserni ,Iy in relation to seven Ministers of the Presby tery of Strathbogie for the following reasons : " 1.. Because we are convinced that the Commission of the• Assembly in suspending these ministers from their pa atoral and judicial functions, at its meeting in Dece m ber last, and in authcrising the mission of depu tatior is to officiate in their parishes, thus, as might have been foreseen, in some degree alienating the re spect and affections of their parishioners, exceeded its powe rs, and assumed a power which neither by the law of the 1 Thurch nor the law of the State, belongs to it. We, t b f .refore, consider the suspension as null and void, and th, si it was not competent to the General Assembly to decl:tr ait otherwise, or to give to it the force of a ogal and constitutional judgment. ' 2. E ,ecause we hold that the act of Assembly finding th at these seven Ministers were censurable—men of exe:asp lary life—sound in 'doctrine—attached to the polity I ) f our Ch urc h, and useful and acceptable la bourer s i a the vineyard of our blessed Master—would, under t v ay c i rcumstances , h ave b een inconsistent with the pr via . ence and the charity of an Ecclesiastical Court, and t sndt; directly to counteract the great purposes which L tht.• institution of a Gospel ministry was designed to pr mote " 3 '• Because we are th oroug hl y p ersua d e d, th a t the comb.; et of these seven Ministers, in yielding obedience to the a , v en S u p reme Ci v i l Jud i cator i es of the realm, / 1 i n what th ese j u di cator i es, after the most anxious in- vestils'a . :if ai, and after hearing all parties, under a volun- I tarY appe al to them by the Church, had declared to laffect sit it rights, is conformable to the clearest prin eiples of reason, and the express injunctions of reve ! lation—a nd that had they acted otherwise, they would h ave viol Ited their duty as good citizens and - faithful subject;- -subverting, as far as in them lay, the great and fu; id amental maxims, upon the uniform and steady applice ti , NI of which the existence of the Social Union and the 4 ' umbel-less blessings which result from it, must depend • "4 13ce, .use in our estimation, it is highly unbecom inr,onomiaLlZ ":t ut that such a judgment, p ing 31) d id " )' 13' ; o e f these seven ministers hay shou ld have proceeded from any of in c?r! yo qu , 3 the '''' Wof t - i i , ‘ 6 6 land, far less from the supreme judicatory the judicat gr its, „. , cted and endowed by the State, of 71 Chu rcli :,..• "• • o f that legislative authority through th , interp o . 7 ' t . l " which ti-'scented from disregards or sets at ..e judgment no- .LgEft. convinced that it is our upon which the "5.

" 6. Because we consider, that the sentence of cen sure and confirmation of suspension by the Assembly from which we dissent, is totally invalid, in consequence of many of those who joined in pronouncing it not being legal parochial ministers, and thus having no title, either from the statute law of the Church or from the Civil Law, to be members of our Church Courts, or to take any part in those decisions of the General Assembly which affect the temporal and civil rights of the ministers of the Church of Scotland. Upon this ground alone, independently of the strong reasons pre viously stated, the procedure of which we complain ap pears to us to be unconstitutional and illegal, and will, in all probability, be declared to be so by the supreme civil authorities of the realm. (Signed) " GEORGE COOK." Mr. ADERCROMBY GORDON thought a committee should be appointed to draw up a statement of the principles on which the Assembly had and were deter mined to act in vindication of the Church's privileges. Sir CHARLES FERGUSON tabled reasons of dissent against the decision in regard to the suspended ministers. Mr. DUNLOP said that, after the Church had been divided into two parties diametrically opposed to each other, he could not understand how they could continue as members of the same Church.—(Hear.) He looked upon it as the commencement of a great schism, which would render separation necessary. He begged to move that a Committee be appointed to draw up a statement of the grounds on which the Assembly had proceeded, and of the fundamental principles on which they were determined to act, as in answer to the protest of Dr. Cook. Agreed to. The printed Report by the Committee of Education was read by Dr. Dickson, the Vice• Convener. Their income last year was 408/. IGs. 2d., the expenditure 4,2071. Ms. Six hundred and sixty-six parishes had contributed, the amount from that source being 3,400/. They had 120 schools and 12,000 scholars ; 2,500 of them were taught in Gaelic. With regard to the pro posed grant from Government, the Committee reported that the inspection proposed to accompany it was con siderably modified, so as " in no respect to interfere with the instruction, management, or discipline of the schools, or to propose any suggestion which they may be disinclined to receive." The majority of the Com mittee, therefore, had resolved to accept the grant on these conditions. After a debate and a division it was carried by 137 to 105, that the grant should be accepted on the terms offered by the Government. The Assembly adjourned shortly after twelve o'clock.

THE FiN'AL IMPROVEMENTS IN BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. The: following is the conclusion of the last Repor which the Committee have just agreed to : Your Committee continue to lament the unsuccessful result of the proposed measure for widening the bridge, agreeably to the design of which a model is deposited in the Guildhall library, and by which it would, for the sum of 32,0001., and without extending the foundations of the piers, have been rendered as-wide and commodious as the New London Bridge. That with respect to the lowering of the foot and carriage ways of the bridge, and the lessening of the ac clivities thereof, mentioned in our Report, and sanctioned by the Court in 1835, and subsequently in 1837 upon a further Report presented by us, and the contract for the performance of which with other works having been sealed, the same has b een p rocee d e d i n ; an d the Trus tees of the Surrey Roads having readily assented to co operate with us so far as the same may be within their limits, we have great satisfaction in being able to state that notwithstanding the difficulties and obstructions which we, your Committee, as well as the Engineer and Contractor, have had to encounter in the progress of such a work, the whole will be completed, with the re paving of the carriage -way of the Bridge, for which a contract has been entered into, and the Bridge entirely thrown open and appropriated to the public use before the expiration of the present summer. We beg further to certify, that although an addi tional cofferdam was constructed, and a new close para pet substituted in lieu of the repair of the open balus trade, at a cost of the sum of 15,0001., the whole of the works comprehended in the contract will be exe cuted under the original estimate by Messrs. Walker and Burgess, who were employed for that purpose ; and that the same, with the alterations in the ap proaches, the improvement at the mouth of the river Fleet, and the raising of the landing-place or platform on the east side of the bridge, as also the repairing of the carriage-way over the bridge, will be completed at an expense considerably below the sum authorised by the Act of Parliament to be raised for the substantial re pair of Blackfriars Bridge.

A respectable farmer, named Thomas Root, of Little Dunmow, Essex, aged 39, last week put a period to his existence by tying a silk handkerchief tightly round his neck, which produced strangulation. It appeared that about four years since the unhappy man lost his wife, which event so affected his spirits that a few days after her funeral he left his home, and could not be prevailed on to return to take charge o f his family (consisting of two children) and affairs. He - ha d frequently said ho would destroy himself rather than return home. Ile had been living at Chelmsford since November last, and on Monday was prevailed upon to go home, but the idea of returning so preyed on his mind that he could no longer bear his existence. An inquest was held on the body, and a ver dict of " Temporary derangement" was returned. TIIE ENIPRESS ELIZABETH.--After having waited three-quarters of an hour, an opposite door opened, whence the Empress Elizabeth advanced towards us, followed by the fat Countess Pratasof at her heels. The Empress is one of the loveliest creatures I ever beheld. There is something in her countenance and figure which put me very muc h in mind of a print I have somewhere seen,—l believe from Angelica Kaufman, —of Cordolia, King Lear 's daughter. At ' her entry the ladies rose, and the gentlemen retired. She was dressed in white embroidery, with pearls of immense size in her beautiful light brown hair. There was an air of humility, mo desty, and sweetness in the demeanour of this most interesting:, personage, captivating beyond expression ; and when w were presented, and fain would have kissed her hand , there e was a sort of seeming struggle as it were to prevent the ceremony, when she herself in her turn stooped to kiss our cheeks.

THE MURDER ANT) SUICIDE IN CLEIZKENWELL. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, as sembled in the Committee Room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, to inquire touching the death of George Gingell, aged forty-two, and Mary Ann Gingell, aged twenty-one. For some time prior to the arrival of the Coroner and the Jury, the room was crowded to suffocation, and the interest was so exceedingly intense, that every place where a seat could be procured was occupied, and it was with some difficulty that the Jury were ac commodated. Several females, respectably attired, were in attendance to hear the proceedings. The Jury having been sworn, they proceeded to view the bodies of the deceased, which were deposited in two separate shells in the dead-house at the back of the hospital. The spectacle was most appalling, the heads being nearly severed from the bodies. On the return of the Coroner and the Jury to the inquest room, their names having been called over, the following evidence was adduced : Martha Blackmon) sworn—l live at No. 12, Comp ton-street, Clerkenwell, opposite where the murder was committed. I was not acquainted with the deceased woman, but I knew her by sight. I saw her walking with the deceased man on the opposite side of the street about a quarter past twelve o'clock on Tuesday fore noon. I was looking out of the window when I saw the man put his larm round her waist, and I heard her say "Oh don't." I immediately afterwards saw her turn round, and blood was streaming from her face, which I thought oozed from her mouth. I did not see the man do anything with his right hand. The woman put her bands up to her neck as if she was begging for mercy, and she staggered back a few paces and fell. The man then drew a razor across his own throat, and went on his knees by way of embracing her, and fell upon her. I became so terrified at the sight of the blood that I cannot state what afterwards occurred. My screams brought the people to the assistance of the de ceased. James Spriggs examined—l live at No. 12, Comp ton-street, and occupy the first floor. M y w i n d ows were open, and I was looking mkt about ten minutes past twelve on Tuesday morning, when I observed the male and female, now lying dead. He seemed to be importuning her, and she turned her face away from him towards the house. I heard no words pass, and upon their coming opposite the wiremaker's, in that street, he appeared to get closer to her, and she endea voured the snore to avoid him. When she reached to No. 57, she attempted to ring the bell, but whether she did so I don't know. The man pulled her by the shoulder, and I saw him lift up his left hand and, as I thought, strike her in the mouth. I then saw him ope rating upon his own throat, and the woman fell, and the man knelt over her as it seemed for the purpose of show ing her the wound in his throat, which he pulled open. The female was in a reclining position against the wall. Having proceeded to her assistance, I endeavoured to lift the man up, but the blood flowed so copiously from both, and the sight was so appalling, that I was neariy paralysed, and 1 nearly lost ail my strength. I picked up the man's hat, which was nearly new ; a per son in a few minutes came up to my assistance, and we pulled the man from off the woman. A policeman subsequently came up, and the bodies were conveyed away upon stretchers. They lay there nearly twenty minutes, and I implored the persons who had collected to assist me in conveying them to a doctor's, but none of them would do so. The street was very clear of persons at the time, a shower of rain having taken place a few minutes before. There was a great deal of screaming for assistance, but the people were so horri fied that they would not interfere. By the CORONER--I had no idea that the man had an instrument in his hand, when I saw him strike the woman ; but I afterwards saw him throw the razor away, which was covered with blood. By the Jury—The man did not struggle at all when laid hold of hitn ; but be appeared to be very anxious to show the woman the wound in his throat. Henry Redmond, a policeman, stated that he went to the spot, and found the bodies on the pavement, in the situation described by the preceding witnesses. lie produced a letter written by the husband, dated May 26, entreating his wife to return to him, a postscript to which was dated June 2, the day on which the murder took place. Wm. Pohl, the father of the deceased woman, was examined, an 4 after stating some particulars which ap peared in the paper yesterday, said hi;; daughter had been treated with much cruelty by her husband, and on that account she had left him. A number of other witnesses were examined, but their evidence was not important, and the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity. The police yesterday morning succeeded in tracing the two children who had been placed under the care of a person in Somers-town. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

The following is an extract from a letter recived a few days ago by a person in Preston from Pittsburg, in North America. It gives a very gloomy account of the s tate of affair s in that district. The w r it er emigrated from P reston a short time a go , and dues not a pp ear t o cong ratulate himself m ee ts on his change of cou n t ry :—" Pitt s b ur g, April 16, 1840. Dear Sir —I take the present opportunity of writing some particulars respecting America. I have travelled in it something like two thousand miles, so I know a little about it. I know this, that any man that gets twenty shillings a week ought to stay in England. There are thousands here now working for about two shillings a day, and there are great complaints of the times, which they say is owing to the banks. In Pittsburg tw o -thi r d s of the works are sto pp ed; and as to the cotton manufacture, it is not w orth an y man's while to work at it, as I have seen an d talked with scores of spinners, c a rd ers , an d weav i n g masters. At the p lace I worked at when I first came, there were seven spi nners, two carders, and one weaving master, dressing castings , and striking for the blacksmiths, an d t h ere are several others that are come over, who have gone back quite disappointed. You will say this is an unfavourable account, but I speak as I find. Where they pay four or five shillings a day in store pay, you have to sell a ten dollar's order for six or seven dollars, as 1 have done when I wanted any money. lam now out of work, aad have been for the last two months past, and am low enough at present I can you at the present is to prevent any assure you. 1 have been to Cincinnati and Wheeling the last place s , and lam about to go to Buffalo. 1 ..11y reason for writing getting fixed in the same way that I am—Y. our's, &C. Tuoaras court was assembled, of ms acquaintances from 8u NI N Eft. —Te Mr. Geldart Dobson, spinner, Preston." A COURTIER METAMORPIIOSED.—As I was at least seventy years of age, sauntered through the suite of apartments where the rest of the I saw, that all the world appeared in masquerade. I could not help smilin g when I perceived the old Prince Trobetskoy, who such was the change of dress in every one suddenly meta mor p hosed i nto a military c h aracter, and now, for the first time in his life, arrayed in f u ll un if orm, braced tig h t as a drum, booted and spurred, and prepared for desperate com bat. This deplorable old courti er , w h o had the trick of f e i gn i ng illness and decre pttude lik e b eggar his own, be en l a id up i n a fit of the gou t, w ith his legs swollen men, h a d lately, for some p rivate p ur p ose o f asbig as his body; but th e mo ment the new Emp eror w a s de clared, he ju m p e d up from his bed armed cup -pied, and in stantly ran am ongst t h e Ismaeleffsky G uar ds, of which he had -a been appointed Lieutenant-Colonel, :nob:sting every one he met, with his orders. This fearful vision was one of the dauntless warriors of the Court of Peter !—ltlemoirs of the Princess Dasehhaw. NORTHERN RAILWAYS. (From the Kendal Mercury.) We stated last week that the Government Commis sioners had pronounced the Morecambe Bay scheme impracticable, and that they had given a preference to the Lune line as presenting greater engineering facili ties, at the same time expressing a strong opinion of the desirableness of combining, if possible, the advantages of Mr. Larmer's line at its southern exremity, with a route past Kendal at the northern end. The Grayrigg line seems to answer this purpose, and Lord Lowther obtained leave for the Commissioners to include it in , their forthcoming Report. This is all very satisfactory. We recur to the subject at present to notice the amusing discrepancy that appears in the Whitehaven papers of Saturday and Wednesday last. Our old friend, the Herald, has the following article : NORTHERN RAILWAYS.—We understand all the hopes of our Kendal friends as to their line being selected by the Commissioners, notwithstanding their late boisterous exultations, are now at an end. It is the opinion of the most experienced miners that the Tunnel cannot possibly be excavated in a shorter period than from seven to nine years. This is a com plete extinguisher. The surveyors in consequence move off to the more eastern, consequently longer lines by Lunedale, Cold Cail, Ravenstonedale, &c. It is, of course, needful to ascertain decisively the impracti cability of the direct lines before adopting a longer one. We have increased confidence in our level Coast Line, as shorter in time, cheaper in first cost, and infinitely more productive in resources. The Cumberland Pacquet of Tuesday writes in a very different strain. From what we have more than once communicated to our readers since the:Commissioners employed by govern ment to select the best route for a railway communication between Lancaster and Scotland completed their survey, they will be prepared in some measure for theinformation we have now to lay before them, namely, the declaration of the Commissioners that the Morecambe Bay line, ow ing to the circuitous route and the difficulties attending the crossing of the Lancaster and Duddon Sands, is de clared ineligible, and consequently discarded. There is therefore an end to the hopes of the great mass of the population of this district, that West Cumberland would at no distant period be the great railway thoroughfare between the capitals of England and Scotland. On Tuesday evening, we perceive, Lord Lowther moved for an Address to the Crown, to empower the Railway Commissioners to include in their forthcoming Report a portion of a line of railway passing through Kendal and Grayrigg, which will join the north end of the Lune line. His Lordship's motion was acceded to, and a very general opinion prevails, we find, that the Grayrigg line will obtain the preference. The Herald must have been very badly informed, when it put out such a statement. The intelligence of the Commissioners having given in their report might not perhaps have reached Whitehaven, though it was known in Carlisle and Newcastle ; but he does not even mention the fact of Lord Lowther's motion on Tues day night, which he might have obtained from the newspapers. Unwelcome news, it is commonly said, travels fast, but .our worthy contemporary has in this instance proved that the rule does not hold good. We wonder what he will say next week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. An Irish, round. faced, vigorous-looking bricklayer's la bourer was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having with the corner of his hod broken a pane of glass in Tower -street. Mr. Glover, the complainant, said that at half-past nine o'clock, as the defendant was talking to a person, who looked as if he also came from over the water, the former poked his hod through the window. Witness did not think the man intended to do the mischief, and would not have charged him before his Lordship if he had not stur dily and impudently denied that he touched the glass at all. The LORD MAYOR—(looking at the list of prisoners for the name)—What ! Is this man's name Alexander MgDou,gal ? Defendant--(quite surprised) —Lard . no, your Honour ; pooh, pooh. The LORD MAYOR—Who are you, then ? Defendant—Why, Tom Kinnedy, to be sure.—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Oh, you're the Irishman from Con naught, that broke the gentleman's windows ? Defendant—Oh, then, is it from Connaught you think I come? Why, that's worse than calling me Mr. M'Doogle. By my sowl I never was in Connaught in all my days, thanks be to God ; its from Kerry I conic. The LORD MaYoa—Well; why did you deny that you broke the window ? Defendant—Bruck the windy I Look your Honour. By the contints of this blessed book (lifting up a piece of dirty blotting paper, and giving it a hearty smack with his lips), I never touched his windy or himself either. The Loan MAYOR-..YOU had touched it though, and smashed it. Defendant--No, your Honour, my had never was guilty of such a thing, any more nor meself. Fy should my had do it? We were walking quite along the street when the gentleman comes up, and I had my had on my right shoulder and the windy on my left, so how could they come together ? Wasn't I bethuxt 'em ? So, says he, "Fy did you break my windy ?" So I tould the gentleman very civilly that neither him nor his windy nor me were ever ac quainted with one another.—(Laughter.) Mr. Glover—You spoke to me in the rudest manner, or you should not be here now. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Kennedy, what money have you got to pay for the damage ? Defendant—Money God help rnc, your Honour, I hav'nt got any money at all but the had that he says bruck the windy. But by the blessed pin in your Honour's hand, it never bruck anything yet. Paddy Gahagan bring . it in, and let his Honour judge for himself. The LORD MAYOR—No, I shall not pass sentence upon the hod. I have not the least doubt about your breaking the window. Defendant—Why then if I did, God knows it was un knownst to myself, your honor. The LORD MAYOR—Are you in employment? Defendant—No faith, your honour. I was just going to look for work, my hod and myself, whin the gentleman came across me with his windy. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, how do you intend to pay him ? I dare say he'll be satisfied to take two shillings from a poor fellow like you. Defendant—By dad he shall have a day's work out of my poor bones if he likes, and the devil a bit I'll as to ate or drink.—( A laugh.) Mr. Glover—l shall not take any thing for the damage, my Lord. Defendant—By dad I'll work for a whole day, from morning till night for you, Sir, at the top of your house, or under the bottom of it, its all one to me.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—No, the gentleman forgives you, and you ought to be very grateful to him, and beg his pardon. Defendant—So I do, your Honour. God bless and pre serve himself and yourself, but upon my sowl neither me nor my had bruck the windy, after Laughter.) TILE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE AUXILIARIES.--A man of good address, but in a tattered condition, named Henry Dewhurst, who stated himself to be a claimant for the sum of 80/. for pay as Sergeant-Major in the late service of the Queen of Portugal, under Major-General Bacon, applied to the Lord Mayor, in consequence of a report that his Lordship . had express e d hi s rea di ness to receive subscrip tions in aid of the distressed Spanish and Portuguese Auxiliaries, and stated that he had served two years, and was, as hundreds of others were, in extreme destitution. The LORD MAYOR said it was true he had consented to receive subscriptions in aid of the numberless poor objects who were claimants upon the Spanish and Portuguese Go vernments, and he earnestly hoped that the appeal might not be in vain. He had received a most excellent letter from Mr. Charles Cochrane, of Devonshire-place, Berke. ley-square, the wain friend and advocate of the distressed Auxiliaries, on the subject, and a check for fifty pounds, as that gentleman's contribution, and he hoped that an ad justment of the claims would speedily take place. He could not think of disposing of any part of Mr. Cochrane's mo ney until arrangements were made for its distribution. The applicant said that as the hay-making season was at hand he and many others would be sure of employment, and all he came to ask for was the means of satisfying the immediate cravings of nature. The Logo MAYOR, after looking at the poor man's tes timonials, directed the assistant-clerk to give him some thing from the poor-box. The applicant speared to be very grateful. He said, on lea vi ng the Justice-room, that he and hundreds of other claimants who wore starving about the streets of London, were looking to Parliament to interfere to save thorn front utterly perishing. The Loan MAYOR-_I know your deplorable condition, and I trust that the generous public will take your case into consideration. I really believe that the destitution and misery extend to so many that public sympathy is ac tually afraid to contemplate your relief. I heard Mr Cochrano describe the condition of the unfortunate auxilia ries, and evidently with a determination to avoid the charge of exaggeration in his statement, and certainly the cases seemed to me to be well worthy of the advocate who has given so substantial a proof of his sincerity. ,OTTON CROP OF THE UNITED STATES.— By the Stephen Whitney, which arrived at Liverpool on Mon day last, New York papers have been received to the 13th instant ; and it appears from the New York Price Currpnt of that day, that the arrivals of cotton at the different southern ports continue to be very large. The receipts, up to dates averaging a b out the Ist of May, aro no less than 1,825,103 bales ! _exceeding, in seven months, the amount received in the whole of the most productive year previously on record, namely, that ending 30th September, 183.4, when the arrivals in the ports amounted only to 1,801,497 bales. If the same proportion of the crop as in that year. should be received in the last five months of the current year, the whole will ex cee d 2,100,00 0 b ales. But though the receipts at the Ame rican ports have been so much larger than on any former occasion, the exports to this country have not as yet reached to the same extent as in 1838, being only 714,635 bales against 783,500, at the corresponding date in that year. The total exi arts, however, are larger; the deficiency, as reg ar d s Great Britain, being more than counterbalanced by the in creased shipments to France and the north of Europe. If we may judge from the indications afforded by the statement in the New York Price Current, the cotton manufacturers of the United States are by no means in a flourishing condition. During the year ending September 30, 1839, the consumption of cotton in the United States was 276,000 bales ; but, in the present year, notwithstanding the great abundance and very low price of cotton, the manufacturers appear to have tak en only about 137,000 bales in the seven month?, during which the principal purchases for consumption are usually made._ Manchester Guardian.
