It appeared that, as a working man named Thomas Sowell was proceeding up the avenue leading to Leaner House, Leaner Park, the mansion of Captain Wheatley, on Saturday morning last, he was horrified at discovering the dead body of a man lying on the grass amongst some trees, in the avenue men tioned above as Pat k Spring Copse information having been forwarded to the police, a description of the deceased was issued. A great number of persons afterwards visited the deadhouae, but were not able to identify the body. Mr. C J. Carttar, the coroner for Fast Kent, having issued his war rant, a highly respectable jury was empanelled at the Running Horses Tavern, to enquire into the extraordinary circumstances attending the death of the unfortunate deceased, when the following evidence was taken :—Themas Sewell, a working man, deposed that on the morning of Svurday last, at about half.past ten o'clock, ho was proceeding up the avenue leading to Sussex House, Sussex Park, when he observ:A the bandy of a man lying amongst the trees, to all appearances dead. He went up to him, and found that he was cold, and that blood was issuing from his body. Deceased had no coat or hat on, but on going aw iy to fetch some help, he found the coat about tw , ) and a quarter yards from the body, and about two and a-half yards he found a cap. He got the assistance of the car, who had the body removed to the dead- A female named Parkins. said she was the wife of a Erith. They formerly lived at Wands to the body being found, a she thought SIIIIIMO For the previous fc lie had seen a young man about the vil to be a person she knew, when living John Carter, She had seen the hadv and elle was of opinion gess again, that it was that of Carter, but it was not the man she had seen in Erith, as she had thought. At Ws stage of the proceedings several jurors expressed an opinion that there should be further evidence brought before them, as they felt far from satisfied with the case as it stood. After some further observations from the coroner the inquest was adjourned. Later in the day, from the manner in which the description, &c., had been circulated, information reached the ears of the family of de deceased, who carry on business as market-gardeners at Wands worth, in Surrey, end soon after the adjournment of the inquest, the friends of the deceased identified the body as that of George Carter, aged 28. The identification of the body was the means of learning some history of the young man prior to his death ; from which it appears that he was i❑ good health and spirits up to the day preceding the discovery of his mutilated body. He then left his home (on the Friday), having with him, it is supposed, a largo sum of money, betwee❑ £6O and £BO, since which nothing was heard of him until he was found dead, with only lid. in his pocket, upwards of 20 miles from his home, from which he had not been absent 24 hours. In pursuance of the order of the coroner, at the open ing of the investigation, a very minute examination of the body has been made by Dr. Oates, an eminent physician of that place ; and it has been found that there are sixteen punctured wounds in the chest, breast, and ribs on the left side. Of these injuries no less than five have penetrated the heart. One of the wounds in the heart was three inches deep, being the centre of the three in the left ventricle, and this corresponded exactly with the external incision, through which a portion of the lung was protruded. GREAT CONFLAGRATION AT THE SOUTH METROPOLITAN DISTRICT SCHOOLS. The inhabitants of th e quiet suburban district of Dutton will not for a considerable period forget the distressing scenes that took place at the South Metropolitan District Schools, which stand on a large plot of ground about one mile from the railway station and fourteen miles from London. The first thing sought to be accomplished after the discovery of the fire, was to get the children out of their beds, which was no little task, considering that there were over 900 male and female children in the building, out of which number 200 were under seven years of age. Owing to the rapidity with which the flames extended, seizing as they did upon several of the dormitories almost simulta. neously, even the master and matron were apprehensive at one time that at least a hundred or two of the children would perish. Fortunately they managed to get the whole staff of officers together, who with the master and matron entered the different rooms, and succeeded in the brief space of 25 minutes in getting the whole of the affrighted children from their beds. The poor creatures without shoes or stockings on, and nothing to cover them but their night clothes, were forced to remain on the gravel road or green sward in f ront of the building, the cold being in tense, and at the same time snow or sleet was falling very freely. DESTRUCTION OF A SHIP BY FIRE, ON THE THAME. We . did - • I I told the cabman so, and I gi 'e bad A serious loss by fire took place on the river, off Northfleet, on Wednesday, by the complete destruction of the ship Forrester, belonging to Sunderland, commanded by Captain Arnies, and laden with tallow, hemp, and staves from St. Petersburg. The ship reached Gravesend on Tuesday night, and brought up at anchor in Long Reach in consequence of the foggy state of the weather. Captain Amies and his chief officer retired to their berths, leaving one man on watch on deck, who, it is supposed, went forward and there fell asleep. Suddenly the captain and mate were awoke by a sense of suffocation, and on jumping out of bed found the cabin not only full of smoke, but flames raging furiously along the ceiling of the cabin. On getting on deck it was discovered that, by some means, the deck had ignited through the. overheating of the cabin stove funnel. The captai❑ and crew made eycey effort to quell tho flames, but in vain. The captain then slipped from his anchors, and drifted down with the tide, in order to settle her at the most favouable spot. On arriving opposite Northfleot, she was run on a bank on the not al (Essex) shore ; hut, unfortunately, she was rot sunk in sufficient depth of water to cover her deck, in consequence of which the flames continued to rage. On the burning vessel being observed from Tilbury Fort, an engin spot, which was worked most vigorously, but it lid li , tle effect in saving the doomed vessel. The firo burnt. furiously throughout the whole of Wednesday, consuming her to the water's edge.

The directors appear not to have made any examination into the accounts, probably because they never had any suspicion of their officer, and it has been to them a mystery for years past that they were called upon to pay dividends upon £ 15 000 t or £20,000 more than, according to their audited accounts, they were liable for. Perhaps it is scarcely right to say the directors were negligent of their duties, inasmuch as two or three weeks since they established a distinct department for the purpose of securing a strict investigation of the company's accounts. The officials of this new department met on Monday last, and on Tuesday morning they re-as• sembled for the purpose of entering upon their duties. Soon after they met. Mr. Redpath entered the room and sa'd to the chief clerk, " What are you going to do ?'"fhe chief clerk replied : "To go through all the accounts from the commence ment of the company," Mr. Redpath said : " That is a perfectly useless proceeding. You will find all the accounts right in die gross, and it is of no use entering into details " The chief clerk said : " We are bound to go into the whole of tho accounts, as the directors have given in explicit directions to do so, and we wish to begin with the numerical register." Mr. Redpath took up one of the books and then threw it down again, saying, " 'Well, if that is your intention, I will have nothing to do with it." He then said to one of the officers, "I am going out for a few minutes." He went, but he never returned. Previous, however, to his departure, he sent one of the ticket-porters belonging to the railway to the Union Bank in Argyll place, for the title deeds of his house in Ches ter place, and for other securities which were lodged there in his name, directing him to meet him with the documents at Chester place. The porter misapprehending his instruc tions, took the parcel he received from the bank to the Great Northern Railway, and the officials of the company have taken possession of it, and notice has been given at the bank to withhold Isis balance until further enquiry, A warrant has been granted for the apprehension of Leopold Redpath, who is still a fugitive from justice. Ho his described as being about 45 years of age, 5 ft. 10 in. in height, with fair complexion and brown hair. lie walks in a hurried or " jolting" manner. fie dresses w e ll, b u t no t f opp i s hl y, and Isis general demeanour a person of extremely quiet habits and good position in The directors of the Great Northern Railway appear o have been acquainted with the expensive habits of their servant, and to have been aware that £3llO ae year could not have met his expenses. Singularly enough a feeling prevailed that he filled his responsible office simply from a desire of hay., ing something to do ; and this opinion was confirmed by the fact, that he made large contributions to the many religious and charitable institutions with which the metropolis abounds, ARREST AND EXAMINATION OF A CLERK. As soon as the discovery of the frauds was made directtions were given to the police to take possession of Redpath's house in Chester-place. This was done, and almost simultaneously Inspector Williams arrested Mr. Charles James Cumming Kent, a young man aged 25, who was a clerk in the register-office, over which Mr. Redpath presided. Mr. Kent, who is supposed to have been the dupe of Redpath, was arrested at his residence in Castle-terrace, Harnp stead.road, and he immediately afterwards underwent a pr . vate examination at Clerkenwell Police Court. Mr. Williams was the first witness called. He stated—l am superintendent of the Great Northern Railway Company. I apprehended the prisoner at his residence last night, on sus picion of being concerned with Mr. Redpath in this robbery. I searched him, and, amongst other papers,l found a telegraphic message in his pocket, addressed to Mr. Fleury, an hotel keeper at Paris. It was as follows :—" Is Redpath with you ? If so, tell him to communicate with me immediately, and telegraph back." I asked him if he had sent it, and he said "No." I asked him why, and he declined to tell me, for reasons of his own. I asked him where Redpath was. Ho replied, " I will not tell you." This was at his own house. When I searched him I took a key from him, which opened a drawer in his office. On reaching that office I found several letters from Mr. Redpath to him. Mr. Martin Bid ; I and p, clerk in the registration office. The entry 553, I believe to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. In one of the stock columns, I find the numbers 1,250 down. Other figures down in the same column, are in Kent's hand writing. Mr. Humphreys, for the prosecution, explained that the entry of 1,250, should have been 250 ; and then asked Mr. Williams if a remand was granted, should he be able to apprehend Redpath ? Mr. Williams : Yes. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday. APPREHENSION OF REDPATH. Yesterday morning, Mr. Leopold Redpath, of No. 27, Ches ter terrace, Regent's park, late the registrar of shares and transfer of stock to the Great Northern Railway, was appre hended shortly after ten o'clock at No. 4, Ulster place, New road, by Mr. Richard Williams, the inspector of police to the Great Northern Railway. The prisoner only left Paris on the previous evening, arrived in town yesterday morning, and was apprehended shortly after. He was brought direct to the Clerkenwell police court, and appeared in the best of spirits. Shortly after twelve o'clock he was placed in the felon'? dock, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, the court being well filled with parties connected with the railway. It appears that immediately after Redpath left the office of the company on Thnrsclay afternoon, he proceeded to his house in Chester place, and was very much surprised that the porter whom he had sent to the Union rank in Argyll place for his securities had not arrived. Shortly after he proceeded to the South Eastern Railway, and went direct to Paris. When he arrived there he communicated by tele graph with his friends, but the messages were, of Course, inter cepted by the police. Mr. Richard Williams, the superinten— dent of the Great Northern police, proceeded to Paris with the warrant granted by Mr. Tyrwhitt, but shortly after his arrival there, the prisoner must .have heard of his arrival, for he departed last evening from Paris, apparently in a great hurry, for he did not bring any luggage to England with him. Mr. Richard Williams, from information he received, proceeded to the house of a personal friend of the prisoner's, and there apprehended hi m as d etailed above. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys opened the case at some length for the prosecution, detailing the circumstances of his apprehension at some length. Mr. Ryder Mowatt, the seceetary, was called, and stated that • prisoner was in the service of the company as registrar. also a proprietor of stock. I have a book where transfers of shares and stock aro filed. On looking to transfer 8.518, I find that it purports to be a tranfer from Mr. Henry Baker, to Leopold Redpath, of 500 consolidated A stock of the Great Northern Railway. That transfer was made on the 29,110 f April, 1853. The sum paid for that transfer to Mr. Baker by the prisoner, was £225. On referring to transfer 8,519, I find that it is a transfer from Mr. William Kitchen, of Wakefield, dated April 30, 1853, of £250 consolidated A -LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. stock of the company. In another book called the registrar, I find at pagess3 the name of Mr. Redpah. It repres n s the stock of the company in the prisoner's name. Opposite the transfer number 8,518, and in the column of A deferred stocks, I find LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—Nov 14. the amount of X 1,500, and also the num b er 8 , 5 19 ; opposite to it The market has b een d u ll an d steady d ur i ng th e pas t in the column for A stock is £1,250.

'rho books prod uce d were i n the -- - • Custody of the prisoner as registrar. In April, 1853, ho was the registrar's clerk, and had to keep the above books. I was at this court on Wednesday, at the examination of a man named Kent. Mr. Williams, the inspector, was also here, and gave evidence. He produced several letters in pencil before the magistrate, and I deposed to my belief that they were in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. Williams is now in Paris. Several other witnesses having ;been examined, Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner iF he had anything to say against being remanded. Mr. \Vontner said he had not the slightest objection to such a course bring pursued. Tl e fact was that his client, seeing from the papers that serious charges against him had been rumoured about, had coma to town for the purpase of meeting them. On Friday next he should be able to show that Mr. Redpath's defalcations were nothing like so heavy as th, y were now made out to he. The prisoner was then remanded. Mr. Wontner applied that the prisoner's gold watch might be given up, and he understood there was no objec ion on the other side. Mr. Humphreys said there was no objection to giving up the watch, but the seals he should like fetaineb. Mr. Tyrwhitt then sad the prisoner would have his watch without the seals.

MR. GOODERE, THE ATTORNEY, AGAIN IN " A FIX." Upon Mr. Ilo'me takir g his seat on the bench, to dispose of the drunk and disorderly cases in the Police Court, usually presided over by Mr. Mansfield, the first name called out was that of " Mr. J. H. Goodere." He not being in attendance, or at least not answering to his name, Mr. Holme said : On which case do you call him up ? The gaoler replied : " For being drunk, and being booked for safety.'' After all the other cases had been disposed of the crier of the court was again directed to call Mr. Goodere. For some time no answer was made, but subsequently it was stated that Mr. Goodere was at the door. He was again called, when he put in an appearance, and, on its being announced that the case was on," a great rush was made from all t h e ot h er parts of the building by persons wishing to hear it. The court was soon densely crowded. Mr. Goodere, in addressing the bench, said : This is a case in which I am charged with being drunk and disorderly. Mr. Holme : At present there is no case before me. r must hear the charge first. Mr. Goodere : But I want an adjournment. Mr. Holme : But I can't adjourn a case before I have heard the charge. Mr. Goodere : But I had it adjourned yesterday. Police-constable 466 was then called, and said : About half-past three o'clock yesterday morning I saw Mr. Goodere drunk and disorderly in Lime street. When he came out of one of the supper-rooms he crossed over the street and ran against a gentleman that was passing, and after he had so ran against him, he wanted me to take the gentleman into custody. Because I would not take the charge he became very violent, and threatened to report me, and th a t he was m as t er o f th e Police Court— (laughter)—and would let me know who he was. Mr Goodere : What o'clock did you say it was ? Witness : About half-past three. Police constable 510 was next called. He said : I was on duty in Renshaw street when he heard a great noise, and on going up he found Mr. Goodere in dispute with the last witness. They ordered him away, but he said he should go where he liked, and I heard him tell the officer that he would have him suspended as he was the master of the Police Court. He then went a little way up Copperas-hill, but returned and behaved very disorderly again, when he was taken into custody. Mr. Goodere : Was I sober ? Mr. Hoime: I shall not allow you to interrupt the witness. I shall treat you in this case as I should any other that came before me, and shall conduct it in my own way. Mr. G-oodere :I do not want you to do otherwise. But I want to have the case adjourned, as I have some witnesses coming who will swear that I was sober. Mr. Holme : You must allow the witness to make his statement. Mr. Goodere : Allow me to ask the witness a question. Mr. Helme: After the evidence has been heard, I will hear arty statement you have to make. Police officer 466 was then re-called, and, in answer to Mr. Goodere, said : I do not know whether the gentle man was drunk. I will swear that he was not so drunk as you were. I heard him tell you that he would take you under his arm, and take you to the police-office. I do not know who he was. There were three or four gentlemen with you. If they had been as drunk and disorderly as you were, I should have locked them up. They were drunk, but 1 did not lock them up. Mr. Goodere :Do you remember asking me to go into the middle of the street, and fight it out with the gentleman ? Witness : You wanted to fight with him. Mr. Goodere : Answer the question. Witness : I told you it was better to go into the middle of the road and fight it out, than make a noise in the street. You did not ask me my number. I will swear that you did not. Mr. Goodere : You are a pretty sort of an officer, to advise me to break the law, and fight it out in the middle of the road—ain't you. Mr: Garnett : That is not a question. Police-officer 510 was then recalled, and cross examined. Ire said : When you were taken into custody you were drunk and disorderly. The last witness did not tell you to go and fight it out in the middle of the street while I was there. You did not ask him his number. You were told to go away, but you would come back again. Police-constable 591 was called and fully corroborated the above statement. Mr. Goodere, in his defence, said : There were four gentlemen with me, and, yesterday, when my name was called over, were not present, but at twelve o'clock th e y were i u cour t, an d wou ld h ave given evidence in my favour. Where they are to-day Ido not know, hut they were gentlemen of standing in Liverpool, and they weuld have sworn that I was as sober as I am this moment. But, you have heard that I was taken up, after the officer had advised me to fight it out in the street. That was pretty conduct for an officer. There were others with me at the time ; they were very tipsy, yet the officers let them eere and locked me up. Why did they not lock them up ? Why did they lock me up ? The other day, I was charged with being drunk. and, at the suggestion of Mr. Mansfield, I paid the fine of 55.; but now they have locked me up, and I had to be in the van with all the thieves and vagabonds of the town, to the danger of my life. lam also summoned for another offence, quite different to them all. The only object they can have is to put me out of this court as an attorney, but that they won't do. It is for you to say if you believe that I was drunk. You have beard the men swear, and I have told you what my witnesses will say, if the case is adjourned for their appearance. If you hear them, you will probably come to a different conclusion. adjourned yeste r d ay f or the witnesses to be pre- Inspector Chew : The case was, on th e app li cat i on of Mr. Goodere, ent, an d when he wanted t h e case to be heard, all the policemen were gone. Mr. Ilolm e: I s h a ll di spose of th i s case at once. yis with very great p a i n t h at I have h eard s this evidence grimn against this gentlemen— ev id ence aga i ns t a gentleman woo is practising as a solicitor in this court, and I regret that be should have placed himself in the posi tion he has done. I feel it my duty to • inflict a fine of ss. and costs, and Ido so because believe that he was drunk and disorderly in the street at the time stated. I regret to see such a species of morbid notoriety displayed in the case, and I am exceeding sorry to see a gentleman, an attorney of this town, who, by his education, it is plain, should be in the position of advising an officer, and not of asking his advice. If Mr. Goodere had been in bed, as ho ought to have been, and not about the streets at three o'clock in the morning, in a state of intoxication, he would not, as other respectable people do not, have run the risk of being placed in the van with thieves and vagrants. I regret to see a man who, by his education, should advise other people, placed in such a position. The case is very disreputable, and I regret, too, I cannot inflict a higher penalty. The fine was at once paid, Mr. Goodere protesting that he was sober, LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Nov. 14. We have not had many, either country or local, buyers at our market this morning, and though we had a some what more general enquiry for wheat, it has been confined to retail consumers for their immediate requirements ; the transactions, on the aggregate, are therefore upon a mode rate scale, and we note a decline of fully 2d to 31 per bushel in white and red American, other sorts being nominally cheaper in the same proportion. The business in flour is quite inactive, and previous rates not obtainable by Is per brl, except in retail for extra cholee quality. Beans have become exceedinglyZscarce, and command is per qr more money. Oats and oatmeal dull, with difficulty maintaining the previous value. - Indian corn brings 3d to 6d per qr over Tuesday's rates, but does not go freely at the improvement. Although the weather has been variable of late, and now cold inclining to frost, the season on the whole has hitherto proved highly favourable for autumn culture, which in this district is progressing to a close, with the soil in excellent order for depositing the seed.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION (AMERICAN) MARKET. (Report for the week end ng Nov. 14.) A fair average extent of business is rep3rted in beef, without further alteration in prices, and there is a growing impression that the market is now at about the lowest point. - Several considerable sales of pork, of ordinary quality, have given rather more tone to the market : the prices realised yesterday at a Government sale at Deptford being comparatively high, also imparts firmness. For old bacon there is rather more enquiry. New is quiet, but thc quantity yet received is iusufficient to give an assortment. Lard on the spot is scarce, and prices are supported ; but considerably lower rates are submitted to for parcels to arrive.

GOODERE IN ANOTIIIIR "Fix,"-It being understood that there had been a summons issued against Mr. Goodere, fin being drunk and misbehaving himself in the police court (a full description of which was given in this journal on Thursday), for which offence he had rendered himself liable to a penalty of £lO. Throughout the sitting of the court, a great number of persons were in attendance to hear the result. Mr. Holme having left the bench, and Messrs. Bolton and Parker taken their seats, Mr. Goodere appeared, and wished to have the case postponed for a week, to enable him to be represented by counsel. After some conversation, and Mr. Goodere promising to retain either Mr. Huddle stone, of London, or Mr. Tindal Atkinson, the hearing of the case was postponed until Wednesday next.
