The men were all s:andtng there. They did not do anything, but it was customary on board that ship for the officers to knock the crew about with levers, or anything they could lay their hands on. There was no row, because the men did not do anything.—Cross-examined : The last witness was stowed away in the forecastle ; Miller brought him out. He had seen the last witness struck before that time, but could not say whether he had had plaister on his head.—Mr. Aspi nail : Did he not strike the mate first?—Witness : 1104—Mr. Aspinall: What did he (the prisoner) strike him with ?—The Witness : 'With a lever.—Mr. Wall. the surgeon of the Northern Hospital, stated that the witness Pinkfield had been in that establishment since Tuesday last. He had a wound on his head about two inches in length, and had, evidently, been inflicted by some blunt instrument. The wound appeared to be about seven days old. Mr. Aspinall then addressed the bench on behalf of the prisoner Dc Courcy, arguing that the case should be sent before the American authorities, and not ho disposed of by any civil authorities of a country to which the ship did not belong. He contended that in this case the crew had conspired together against those who had been placed over them, and that, it they entertained this case, they would bo encouraging insubordination in all vessels coming to the port. He then argued that, in order to do justice to all parties, the prosecution had a right to call the pilot who was on board the vessel at the time, and was the only independent witness.

THE SICOND CllARGE.—Tiriiiiana M'Gill was a sailor on board the ship in the river last week. The prisoner Do Courcy struck him on the hand with a lever, and injured his thumb.

Mr. Whalle, surgeon, said he had examined the thumb. It was riot dislocated, but was severely sprained, arising from a blow, and it would be some time before he got right again. The boy Jenks spoke to having witnessed the assault, and said the blow was struck with a lever. Mr. Aspinall twain addressed the bench for the prisonerDe Courcy, argu *here was a consn;.--- the crew against the oft' rs of th‘.

De Courcy hit him with the brass knuckles, and he bled very much, He was in the forecastle at the time, because he could not work from the injuries he had received before. Ho was pulled out, knocked down with the lever, pulled up again, and again knocked down. William M‘Gill saw the assault com mitted on Brown by the two defendants. Mr. Wall, the surgeon, said the complainant had been in the hospital, and had had his nose fractured by some violent blow. The Bench in this case fined each of the offenders 40s, and, in default of payment, one month's imprisonment. THE FOURTH CHARGE. —Michael Welsh stated that on the Sunday he was after some water, for the crew, when De Courcy and Woodward followed him into the forecastle, and kicked him severely, so that he could not stand. He had been previously hit with a billet of wood, and injured on the back and leg. (This witness gave some most disgusting details of the treatment he had received during the voyage.) Mr. Craig, the custom house officer, did not witness the assault, but directly after he saw the Dutch boy bleeding. Each of the offenders were, in this case, fined 40s—no case having been made out against Miller. nd nose when the two offenders THE FIFTH CHARGE.- !n this case the three prisoners were charged with assaulting a sailor named Gillespie. lt was proved that De Coutcy bad struck him with a billet of wood on the back of the head, then struck him with a hammer ou the back to make it better, and that the other two had most severely kicked him. The Custom house officer said that he Lad so frequently seen the sailors ill used while on board the ship that he could not say the time. He frequently saw them use the lever, and other instruments of torture. Dennis Early spoke to seeing the assault committed. Mr. Wale, the surgeon, described the nature of the injuries which the man had sustained. In this case the three prisoners were fined 40s and costs. THE SIXTH CHARGE.—Lewis Williams proved that De Courcy had struck him on the back with a bucket, and he was very sore for some time after. M`Gill spoke as to having witnessed the assault. In this case De Courcy was fined 40s and costs for the assault. The fines were all paid, and the prisoners were discharged THE LAST FOREIGN LEGION ASSASSINATION At Worship street, on Saturday, Carlo Coletti, a swarthy, savage looking man, belonging to the Anglo - Italian Legion, was brought up on remand before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with having feloniously attacked several persons with a knife, with intent to murder them. The first complainant, Charles Osborne, potman at the Flint House Tavern, in Hvde-place, Hoxton, stated that between ten and eleven o'clock. on the night of the 7th instant, his attention was attracted to the prisoner, who was standing in the centre of the road, opposite his master's house, surrounded by several persons whom he was menacing with a long knife or dagger, which he brandished over his head. At the same moment, the prisoner made a rush at a young woman who was quietly passing, and had reached within a yard of her person, with his knife raised for the purpose of stabbing her, when witness caught up an implement called the "long arm," which was used for putting up the shutters, and thrust it at him, which had the effect of frustrating his murderous intention. The prisoner staggered back from the force of the blow, hut speedily recovered himse], and turn ing fiercely round made a stab at witness, which ho managed to evade, and after dealing his assailant another heavy blow on the head with the "long arm," he retreated into the house, and secured the door against him. George Dudley, a beer shop keeper in the neighbourhood, fully corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and added that the prisoner made an abortive attempt to stab him also, and hotly pursued him until he reached his ewn door. Charles Silliter, a journeyman stated that a f ter his attack carpenter, upon Dudley, the pri made a dash at witness with the knife, and but for - accidently fallen during his efforts to esca p e , shat his life would have been sacrificed. t, N. 214, gave similar evidence, king at him with the dagger, while cure him, the prisoner started off at ,d b y a postman in an adjoining • the throat until the arrival of , ost determined resistance, in non which the prisoner had his hay he felt satisfi Police- cong:ible Hew and deposod he was end feavour full speed, but I street, was se who held t premises. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVERPOOL. BEFORE ME. WM. EARLE DARK DEEDS.—A young _ . "darkey," named Joseph Williams, was charged with steeling some clothes the property of John McCaffray. The prisoner went to complainants house and represented that he had got a ship, that he wanted clothes, and if complainant went with him, he would get him his advance note. The complainant gave him the clothe, and went with him towards the Seilot's Horne, but on the way he gave wit ness the "slip" and got away from him. Officer Barrow, subsequently arrested the prisoner at the Prin ce's Dock, with the property in his possession. Inspec tor Kehoe said he wished to inform his Worship of the following circumstances in reference to the "young gentleman."—(a laugh) On the Ist of September, the prisoner was sent to gaol for stealing clothes; and, on the day he came out, he made a charge against three police office'rs for having stein.' sixpence from him. The officers were brought before Major Greig, and the prisoner told such a plausable, and apparently innocent story, that the Major actually believed him and punished the men very severely. The police were not aware, at the time, that the prisoner had just come out of gaol, but they since ascertained that he had not a farthing at the time when he charged the constables for having robbed him. The prisoner was sent to gaol for two months. EEFORE ,IR. MANSFIELD • THE KNIFE.—John Kelly, who resides in Cavendish street, was charged with having stabbed and otherwise maltreated John Barrett. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence, it appeared that on Saturday night the parties met in the street near Kelly's residence; both had some drink, and a quarrel took place between them. It was alleged that Kelly drew a knife and struck the complainant a blow with it on the ear. A surgeon stated that there was a considerable incised wound on the complainant's ear, and a severe contused wound on tha forehead. A witness was pro duced for the defence, and, in reply to Mr. Black, he stated that the complainant was drunk, and that he only fell up against Kelly. Mr. Mansfield said he would act in this case as in all others, and send it. for trial. The prisoner was commit' REWARD FOR litNnNEss. 7 Bridgnt O'Neill, a decent- looking woman, with a fine child in her arms, was charged by police officer, No. 268, under the following circumstances : He said on Saturday afternoon, he heard that there was a very violent row in Back Russell-street, when we went and found the story correct. He saw a man beating the prisoner very badly, and had her nearly choked at the time. He laid hold of the man, who turned on and struck him. lie then arrested him, when several women and men attacked him, but the worst onslaught was made on him by the prisoner who tore him and scratched him, and crushed him up against a wall, tore his hand, and other wise injured him. The woman said the man was her brother, and that the policeman had no right to interfere between them She was fined 10s., or, in default of pay. .nent, one month's imprisonment. MORE STREET PREACHING.—Thomas Roberts, a pain ter, was charged by police constable 301 for being d runk and disorderly on Saturday night, under the " big lamp post "in Lime .street. It appeared that on Saturday night there was a man nameYJones, who is a maker of slippers., and who lives in Ben Jonson-street, preaching, or " holding forth " at the "big lamp ; " his discourse was in reference to that horrid Antichrist, the Pope, and the speaker characterised all Roman catholics as idola_ tors, and said they were all sure of being d-. Mr. Roberts happening to belong to the obnoxious (to Mr. Jones) religion, began to " pitch into" the latter, swearing if he was to be d- he'd be d-, but he'd have the worth of it out of the " preacher" before he went. This caused the policeman to take him up. Mr, Mansfield said he was sorry to find these street dis turbances at work still Mr. Inspector Chew said the observations made by his Worship a few days ago. in reference to the nuisances, were duly reported. The matter dropped for a short time, but they had commenced again. Mr. Mansfield said these preachers had become as great a nuisance as the prostitutes of Lime-street. He fined the prisoner ss. SMUGGLING. A sailor, named John Moran, was charged with having attempted to smuggle £3 worth of foreign manufactured tobacco, which was got concealed on his person, when leaving the ship. He admitted the fact, but said he did not think it unlawful. He was fined the full amount, or to be imprisoned for 21 days. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE.—Pat Doyle was charged with having assaulted police officer 482. It appeared that there was a " pretty little woman," named Jones, who lodged in a house in Jordan-street, and Mr. Doyle, not having the fear of the ninth commandment before his eyes, paid very ulitwelcome visits to the house. On Saturday Mrs. Jones called some of the people to repel the intrusive visits of Mr. Doyle, who was summarily ejected from the premises. In some time after he returned to the charge, and, like a battering-ram, he jumped in through a door, making smash of the timber, and nearly of his head. A police officer was called, and when he arrested the prisoner, the latter assaulted him. I they , He was tiPicd £s.—John Moran, who resides in Great Homer street. was also tined S 5 for an as.ault on police constable 296, while in the execution of his duty. LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. The third ordinary meeting of the present session was held last evening, at the Royal Institution, Colquitt street.—Dr. Inman presided. The business of an ex traordinary meeting having been disposed of, the hon. secretary read the minutes of the last meeting which were confirmed. The fallowing gentlemen were unanimously elected members of this society,—Mr. C. Tinling, Mr. J. M. Brighouse, Mr. Wm. Broadbent, the Rev. P. F. G. B Haines, Mr. R. Levingston, and Mr. J. Jobson. The Chairman announced that the new museum of science and art had been thrown open to the public, and invited the members to inspect the same during the eve_ ning ; and stated that it would be open on the 17th, 18th and 19th of the present month. The Secretary said he had much pleasure in stating that the President and Secretary of the Chatham Society were present, and had taken their places as honorary members. He had much pleasure in introducing Mr. Rimmer and Mr. Gill. (Applause.) A work on the diseases of the stomach, by Dr. Turn bull, was presented to the society by the author, for which he received a vote of thanks. Some specimens of rock were exhibited by Mr, Cun ningham, taken from a quarry; and Mr. Archer exhibited a plant which is a native of North America, the petela trafolito, which had all the properties of the English malt, and which he thought might be cultivated in this country, and become an article of commerce now that malt was of such a high price. Some other specimens having been exhibited, Mr. Wm. Ihne, and the Rev. Mr. Higgins proceeded to reading the papers for the evening—the one "on Horace's Ode," and the other on " Sphcerobolus Stellatus." A vote of thanks for the papers concluded the business. HANCOCK'S INKSTAND.--One of the most desirable objects in an inkstand is to avoid the exposure of the ink to the air as much as possible, so as to ensure its limpid supply. This is accomplished in the above inkstand.—lllustrated London Hews.

THE CALIFORNIAN PEN.—The everlasting question of " is this a good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. - Hall of South Juhn street, who has succeeded in producing a metallic pen, which he designates—not inaptly—as above. There is hardly anything more annoying than a bad pen— every one knows the misery. The pen made by Mr. Hall is fit for any hand to use—light or heavy—and, what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with equal facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we can say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as long, is the best one we have ever used. —Adv ALARMING FIRES.—On Saturday afternoon, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a fire broke out at Mrs. Tyler's, No. 12, Cross Keys-square, Little Britain. Aldersgate-street. The upper part of the house was destroyed ; insured in the General Fire Office.—Another fire broke out on the premises of Mr. P. Mit.3hell, hat manufacturer, 184, Whitechapel-road. The outbreak commenced from some unknown cause in the shop, and before it was discovered had gained a complete possession of the staircase, when the inmates had great difficulty in effecting their escape.

OPENING OF THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. (Toronto Globe, Oct. 28.) The Grand trunk Railway was yesterday opened for traffic through the entire route from Quebec to Strat ford. A train left Montreal at half-past seven in the morning, and before 11 in the evening, the Montreal pa; era of the same day, by the polite attention of Messrs. Martin and Grant, were laid upon our table, In like manner, a train left Toronto at 7 yesterday morning, and before 9 her safe arrival in the Oily of Montreal was duly telegraphed ! This, undoubtedly, is a most notable event in the history of our country, and we heartily congratulate our readers Upon it. We have assailed the manner in which the enter prise br.s been prosecuted—we have at no time denied the vast importance of the work: (Sings'on Whig, Oct. 28.) The trains from both extremes arrived at the depot here at 2 o'clock, leaving again at 2.31). The line is now fairly opened, and th mails in future will go by rail. We now receive the Montreal and Toronto papers in Kingston shortly after noon on the day of publication. This is an indication that we have truly waked up in Canada, and gone to work in good earnest. (Kingston Herald, Oct. 28.) Yesterday the trains from Toronto and Montreal met at the depot ! Long threatened comes at last. Despite the falsehoods of George Brown and his s'a passed from Toronto to Montreal, and vice versa twenty_seventh of October, eighteen hundred and fifty-six, will be a day long remembered in Canada ; and it should be. The opening of the Grand Trull( Railroad on that day inaugurated a new era in the progress of the country. The work commenced by Francis Hincks was that day completed—would that he had been there to witness it— would that he could be preient at the grand celebration at Montreal. Yesterday the train frrm Montreal numbered two baggage, two second clasa, and three first class cars ; the train from Toronto two baggage, two second class, and four first class cars. Long before the hour of their arrival a large crowd had assembled. The eastern train came in firs', and was greete-1 with loud huzzas ; we examined the cars, and consider them very substantial and fine specimens of home manufacture ; we also made enquiries from passen- gers east and west, as to the state of the road—their report was—and they were Americans—that it was one of the best they ever travelled on. What saith George Brown to this? But we must stop! All we want is the depot in Kingston, and our happiness is complete. !s, thrl P.S —Had just finished when the Montreal and Toronto papers of the same date—Monday, came to hand—just six hours both ways—Tiorrah ! (Kingston News, Sept. 28 ) Yesterday the usually quiet citizens of this usually quiet City of Kingston 'were on the qui rive for the events of the " opening day" of the Grand Trunk Railroad—keeping in mind the announcement that on Monday the 27th passen gers train would leave Montreal and Toronto within half an hour of the same time in the morning and meet here about two o'clock, The debut of tt.e " Belleville and the Brockville" train was almost unnoticed, although in fact one of the most interesting events to people here; all seemed bent upon having a sight of the Toronto and Montreal trains —the train from the capital of Lower Canada and the train from the capital of Upper Canada—meeting at Kingston as the centre of United Canada. The morning was pleasant, but a slow,light, steady rain set in and made things rather uncomfortable. Notwithstanding this drawback, and the farther drawback that the station is over two miles from the City Hall, a large number of Kingstonians had assembled to welcome the first passengers over the Montreal and Toronto section of the Grand Trunk Railway. The Montreal train came in about half an hour after the announced time, and the Toron`o half an hour la'er—a slight delay, indeed, for a first passenger train—and, after a short interval, devoted to the refreshing of the inner man, the iron horses parted, pursuing their way with equal diligence to the east and west. The Montreal and Toronto papers of the morn ing were received here, and delivered about three o'clock— one of the many advantages which we must derive from the completion of our main line of railway communication. (Cincinnati Times, Oct. 24 ) The tract from Montreal to Toronto is completed, and on Monday next, October 27, will be opened for public travel. This will make a continuousline from Portland and Quebec, connecting " the States" and Canada in a bond of union of interest at least, if not of much else, quite as important to the people of the two countries. By next summer the road will be finished to Port Sarnia, on Lake Huron. The road will then be the most extensive on the whole North Ame rican continent—an enterprise which fills the mind with admiration as well as wonder. witness, who succeeded, after a taking him into custody used was produ •ed.

THE NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL TUESDAY LOSS OF THE TAY. The official report of Mr. Traill, the Greenwich police magistrate, appointed to enquire into the loss of the Tay, was presented to the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trado on Saturday. After going carefully through the evislence, Mr. Traill states :--t' On a review of the whole case, I am of opinion that the loss of the ship is to be attri buted to an extraordinary current which retarded her progress after her departure from Vera Cruz, and was not, within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, caused by the wrongful act that t Captain Strutt id subsequently to the time e ;he wreck, in the attempts he mule to get the ship off, and the means he used for the safety of the passengers, crew, and mails, was marked by judgment, skill, and self-possession." Mr. Traill concludes his report by directing attention to that part of the evidence which relates to the use of the patent log, with which the Tay was, and several other ships of the company are provided. It appears that, although strict injunctions are given by the company that this log shall bo regularly filled up, in many cases these injunctions are neglected. The log was not used above two or three times after the Tay's departure from Southampton ; Mr. Traill therefore thinks that such an allowed breach of orders by a captain cannot fail to operate injuriously upon the seamanlike character of those under his command. SUSPECTED MURDER OF A WIFE AND SUICIDE OF THE HUSBAND. About half past ten o'clock on Saturday night, a constable, on duty on the Hackney road, was hastily summoned to N o 17, Great Cambridge street, London, where he was informed that a man had committed suicide. On entering the parlour, a young man, apparently about twenty-seven years of age, was found lying on the carpet in a pool of blood, his throat cut from ear to ear, and by his sido lay a razor. A surgeon was sent for, who found the body warm, but quite devoid of life. The police were left in charge of the apartment, and about an hour afterwards, the same officer who had received information of the foregoing act, was apprised that a woman had been taken from the water of the canal near Haggerston bridge, quite dead, and conveyed to the Acorn, public house, adjacent. This, on enquiry by the constable, likewise proved correct, and a further investigation resulted in the discovery of the deceased parties being husband and wife, the latter only 22 years of age. In connection with these facts, a subsequent searching investigation tends to show, almost beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the n husband was instrumental in causing the death of his wife, ad then took his own life. Mary Ann Brown, a girl 16 years of age, while passing near the towing path of the canal, between nine and ten o'clock, observed a man standing near the water's edge, and at the same time heard a gurgling sound proceeding from the middle of the stream. She remarked to the mar, " You have thrown something into the water." On hearing which, he ran off without reply, and she following, per ceived him enter the house 17, Great Cambridge street. A man named Finch shortly afterwards saw something on the surface of the water, near the bridge mentioned, and having procured the assistance of the police, obtained drags, and drew the body of the female to the sido. The same medical man who had attended upon her husband was called in, and, as in the former case, pronounced life to have been but a short time extinct. Their names are Herrry and (we believe) Ann Fenn. By trade ho was a carver and gilder. There is no family, but the lodgers state they lived unhappily, he keeping her without domestic necessaries. On the same evening the bodies were found as described. She was heard to say " Good bye, Henry," and left the house followed quickly by him, but he very speedily returned, and persons above stairs, observing an unusual silence, entered his apart ment, where they found him weltering in blood, as described. WITAT OUR POLITICIANS ARE DOING. —Mr. G. Doin brurh, in his corn circular says :--Our politicians are again busy brewing mishief. Another war looms in the distance. And how could it be otherwise ? So long as there are armies and navies—peace cannot last. It is their trade to bully, threaten, quarrel, worry, and fight. Fight, qiev must somebody, somehow, somewhere, no matter why or wherefore. At this moment a rich choice of subjects to pick a quarrel with floats about. If Naples escapes, Mexico will do as well—or Persia, or may be again the Crimea, should a quarrel not be got up with our dear ally, the Emperor of France. And why not ? In politics, it appears everything that can be done, is permitted. In fact, the whole cra ft of politics seems to Consist in the most relined tissue of deception and fraud, with only expediency, resorting, to over -reaching and double-dealing whenever an advantage is likely to be secured or a rival humbled or destr.oyed—disregarding the most deliberate engagements, holding no treaty as too binding, violating the most sacred oaths, and trampling under foot the roost solemn promises when a suitable opportunity offers. All that cornmerce s is—to be left alone. Let governments no longer have . armies and navies to play a reckless game with the lives and pro perties of the people. Nor let a secret diplomacy conspire to embroil the nations in quarrels in which these have no interest. Why should there be any secresy in what concerns everybody ? If a man is to be bound by what. another contracts for him, ho i a rght to know the terms. In the intercourse of people and people there need be no secresy, if the general good, and not the private interest of a few, is to bo promoted. Henceforth, may there be no more secresv in state matters, but the fullest, plainest information, and the freest intercourse. Let railways and steamboats extend and increase all ov er the earth, with the most unrestricted interchange of ideas by telegraphs, ocean penny postage.. penny newspapers, and free trade. May armies and navies, and secret diplo macy cease to exist, and the people's tree and open diplo macy, with peace and plenty, prevail all over the earth It MURDER BY A DISSENTING MINISTER AT WOKINGHAM. .r sem-el days past, the greatest excitement has pre y.i :d in Wokingham (Berks), and the adjoining neigh uourhood, consequent on the commission of a frightful murder by a Dissenting minister, on the body of his own son. The name of the murderer is Charles Forrester, who has, for some years, been a minister connected with one of the Dissenting congregations, and the unfortunate victim, a boy between five and six years of age. The murderer has hitherto borne a most irreproachable character, and has been considered a most kind father and husband. Prom enquiries instituted in the neighbourhood, and the evidence adduced before the magistrates, it appears that Forrester, about two years ago, was a tradesman in London. A lady named Saltmarsh, residing at Bell hill, in this neighbourhood, being desirous of obtaining a minister and tract distributor to attend to the religious wants of the labouring population, applied to the Committee of the London City Mission, who mentioned the name of the murderer as being a likely person to falfil the duties with efficiency, and he was accordingly engaged by Mrs. Saltmarsh: Having obtained the appointment„ the mur derer took a cottage at Eralarook, abut a mile from Wokingham, but although he was much respected for his earnestness, many thought he was not sufficiently intellec tual for the position. This also seemed to be the opinion of Mrs. Saltmarsh, for shortly after he lost the appointment. Sabssqnently his friends thought he was consumptive, from sataptonos which betrayed themselves, and he went to Lon don, and became an inmate of the Brompton Consumptive Hospital, Mrs. Saltmarsh having obtained for him the necessary recommendation for his admission. It is supposed that he had left the above institution a fortnight, but some doubt is expressed on this point, as he was not seen in Embrook till a few days ago. Daring his absence his wife, who is a very ind ustrious and respectable person, and possessed of a little property, op - hied a small general store in the village, to which he returned on yesterday week. There was nothing unusual in his appearance, and no reason can be assigned for the perpetration of the crime with which he now stands charged. On Friday morning la-a, about seven o'clock, Mrs. Forrestera the murderer's wife, got up for the purpose of opening her shop, leaving her child and the murderer in bed, and about an hour afterwards the prisoner came down, and left the house, passing her in the shop without speaking to her. Shortly before nine o'clock, Mrs. Forrester went up stairs for the purpose of arousing the child, when the appalling sight of the murdered corpse was first presented to her. Her child lay in the bed covered in its own blood, which was still warmly oozing from the wounds, three in number, with the head nearly severed from the body. An alarm' being raised by Mrs. Forrester, several neighbours rushed in, and a medical man was sent for ; but what followed will be best understood from the subjoined evidence adduced before the magistrate on Saturday. Mr. Gerald Fitzgerald, the chairman of the bench, presided at the ma gistrate's office. The first witness examined was Martha Evans, who deposed that sha was the wife of a wheelwright, and resided at Embrook, near Wokingham. Her house was two doors from that of the prisoner. Prisoner lived with his wife, and a boy about five years old lived in the cottage with them. On Friday morning, shortly after nine o'clock, in consequence of an alarm that a murder had been committed, she went into the prisoner's house, and on entering the sitting room she saw Mrs. Forrester, who was greatly distressed and crying bitterly. She told witness that her husband had killed their child. She ran up stairs directly into the bedroom. and saw the child lying on the bed. Hie throat was cut, and there was a great quantity of blood upon the pillow and bedclothes. The magistrates enquired if the witness knew anything of the prisoner ? Witness : I believe he was a tract distributor, and has been acting as a missionary in our neighbourhood. John Bostock deposed that he was sergeant in the Berks constabulary, and stationed at Wokingham. About a quarter before nine o'clock on Friday morning he was in bed, and was aroused by hearing a knocking at the door. He opened the window, and saw the prisoner, and asked him what he wanted ? Prisoner answered, " I am come to give myself up for murdering my little boy." Witness dressed himself, and immediately went down stairs, when the prisoner re. peated his statement. Witness examined the prisoner's hands, and found them covered with blood. Witness handed over the prisoner to another constable, and proceeded to the house to ascertain if the statements were correct. He went up stairs, and found the child with his throat cut lying on the bed. He then returned to the prisoner, whom he found in a state of great mental excitement, and the sweat running down his face. Witness afterwards searched him, and found several letters in his pockets, one directed to his wife, and others to his friends. Mary Langley deposed that she was a neighbour, and upon hearing the alarm, ran into the house, and no stairs, and saw the child lying on the bed in his blood. Sho turned the child over, and found the razor' (produced) under the legs of the child. Mr. Edward Wright, surgeon, of Wokingham, said that from information he received, he went to the prisoner's house, and there saw a male child on the bed, apparently from five to six years old. Life was quite extinct. There was a deep incised wound across, dividing the trachea and oesophagus, the principal blood-vessels, and also the vertebral column. The head was nearly severed from the body. The wound was warm, and blood was still oozing from the incised parts. He had no doubt the injuries were caused by the razor produced. George Crook said he was super'n tendent of police, and whilst the prisoner was in his custody on Friday morning, he said repeatedly to witness, " Oh dear, oh dear, I would not mind giving anything to undo what I have done. I loved my little boy, and no one loved him better than what I did ; I can't think what I did it for, lam sure." After some further evidence, the nature of which was immaterial, the magistrate cautioned the prisoner in the usual way, and asked him if he wished to say any thing ? The prisoner, who made no defence, was then fully committed to take his trial for the wilful murder at the Siring Assizes. During the whole of Sunday large numbers of persons, imbued with that morbid sensibility by which pers o ns and places of great criminals are generally surrounded, visited the scene of this sad catastrophe, but they were only rewarded for the trouble they had taken in coming, some of them from a considerable distance, by being enabled to gaze on the exterior of a small shop, with shutters and doors closed, and having the knowledge that the body of a murdered infant was inside. That the crime was premeditated there can be no doubt, from the fact that the prisoner had possessed himself of a new razor a day or two before, the one with which the crime was perpetr, ted. Whether the prisoner be insane or not, of course will be a question for the jury on the trial, but it is the opinion of many persons in the neighbourhood—and the assertions of the prisoner after delivering himself up. corroborates this opinion —that he is perfectly sane, but there is something which induced him to commit the crime, which has not yet been made public. From the kind disposition of the wife, and her general urbanity of manner, she is very much ' respected among her neighbours, and the greatest sympathy is expressed for the sad calamity which has befallen her.

On Saturday, we gave the particulars of the supposed highway robbery and murder of Mr. George Carter, the son of a highly respectable floriculturist in the Surrey suburbs of London, at Erith. At that time there was a doubt, as no post mortem examination had been made, and froth some peculiarities in connection with the wounds on the body of the deceased, whether he had met his death at the hands of assassins, or whether he had himself caused it. It was incidentally men tioned that when the body of the deceased was found he was lying upon the grass, some considerable distance from the beach, where it was originally stated that the body was dis covered. From the fact that, in additional to the four mortal wounds in the breast, one in the right auricle, and three in the left ventricle, the centre one of the latter being three inches deep, there has been discovered, at a subsequent examination of the body, an extensive fracture at the back of the skull nearly as large as an egg, and this has induced the medical men to assert that it was impossible the case could have baen ono of suicide. That there is no doubt on the subject now appears from the fact, that the Secretary of State for the Home Department has issued a notice, offering, a reward of £lOO for the apprehension of the person or persons implicated in this murder; and the right hon. baronet has also advised her Majesty to grant her most gracious pardon to any person not being the actual murderer, who would give such information as may lead to the same results. In addition to this, the society for the Prosecution of Felons, in the district, has offered a reward of £5O, and the friends of the deceased £lOO, for the apprehension of any person implicated in this brutal outrage. There can be little doubt but that with these rewards, if there was more than one person engaged in the transaction, and all the circumstances that have as yet tran spired tend to that end, that the murderer will be speedily apprehended. A more diabolical transaction has not probably occurred for many years. That the murderers had their scheme deeply laid is apparent, but that they made a great mistake in carrying it out is evident from this circumstance, that when the body was found a largo pie , ;e of the skull was battered in, which could not have been dono by accidentally falling, and also that the carpenter's gouge, which was found in the hand of deceased when the body was discovered, would have made the wounds in a reverse d:rection to those indicated on the body. FREE TRADE CONGRESS AT GENOA.—Genoese papers announce that the Industrial Congress—which has recently been in session at Brussels—will meet next year at Genoa. The place is well chosen, not less for its Wauty than for its utility ; for Genoa the Superb is not more remarkable for the grandeur of its site, which is altogether Italian, than for its vigorous and enterprising genius, which is altogether English.—Athenteum.

The supply of English wheat upon the Essex and Kent stands was only moderate this morning, and sales were effected more speedily than the state of the trade at the close of last week would have led one to expect, and at the full prices of Monday last. Foreign wheat met a retail demand at present prices. Flour was unchanged. Fine malting barley was fully as dear, but, although other descriptions cannot be quoted lower, the sale is extremely difficult. Russian and inferior light oats were rather cheaper, but other qualities maintained their value. Beans and pease underwent no change. ARRIVALS INTO LONDON FROM NOV. 10 TO NOV. 15. Coastwise. I Wheat.
