whether a certain document stated to have boot read of that
ocateite, and addressed by Mr. Adams to Admiral Dupont,
was ourreetly meted M that article ?
Mr. CRAWFORD said that the statement in the article

the letter oddness(' by Mr. Adams to Admiral Durand.,
manmendiag the Federal squadron in the Gulf of Mexico,
was also in term., he believed, quite correct, though he had
sot compared the printed copy with the original dominant.
He would add, at the same time, that be was not a party in
any way to the publication of the proopedings.

will find that though a sails friend of mine entered kite
long detailet be was Orraiimplia reproached by soother
noble lord for baring entirely evaded answering the goes-
tkla put to him. (Loud laughter.) Now that is
vary often a tit and becoming rawer to make when
indiscreet questions are irked. The 'obis lord will, then.
fora, excuse me if I don't tell him all that bas pared with
regard to the communications which have taken pier re-
' ureic( the election of Prince William of Denmark to the
throne of Greece. But I will tell him this. Her Mejesty's
government did not act with the precipitation which be
ascribes to them. They made no communication to Greece
which they were not authorised to make. The election of
Prior William was so entirely the result of the impulse of
the moment., that it was a surmise to the ministers of
Greece. The Arembly met, and a member got up and sod-
denly proposed the election of Prince William. It was
known that Prince William had been mentioned as a person
that might become a candidate, with the consent of all parties
given, but the Assembly was so anxious to oome to a decision
that it at coos and by acclamation elected him, oc the
motion not of a minister but of a private member of the
Numbly. The noble lord will therefore excuse me if I do
not tell him the exact rate of the negotiations that are
going on ; bat I hue reason to hope that the election which
hr • made by the Groh Assembly will be completed
by the amalgams of it by Prince William sod by those
who are answerable for him. (Cheers.)
Mr. B. 000HRANE—Are we to understand the noble
lord to ry that the proceedings of the National Assembly
of Greer did not result from a communication made to it
and to the Greek government by Mr. Elliot on the 28th or
29th of last month?

Load PALMERSTON—The Grcsk government had been
informed that communications were going on with a view to
ascertain whether Prince William would becomes candidate
for the throne.

Mr. PE.tCOCKE said the information of the hon. gentle-
man (Mr. Griffith) wee erroneous, for it appeared to have
been collected from she telegrams in the daily newer rs.
The facts were then. Information having the
Russian government that the vessel in question was about
to sail, they applied to her Majesty's government to prevent
her leaving England. As in the ore of the Alabama, the
order to arrest her Came too late. The Ruskin
government then directed one of their frigate; to go
ia 't of her; and it happened that that frigate
applied to the sameor merchant f coal that the ves-
sel had prsvioosly done. Information was in this way
communiatd to the vessel that the frigate we. coming
in pursuit of her, and the English crew declined to go any
further. A Danish crew was then shipped, and the
vessel sailed for Sweden. The Russian government
then communicated with the Swedish, and the latter
arrested the ship. So far from the friendly feeling between
the two governments having been interrupted, the Russian
government entertained the most kindly sentiments towards
Sweden for her conduct in the wrier.

not erne the truth with regard to the coosumptios of
spirits. The fact wee, from whatever muse, that it was
diminishing and not increasing. The consumer° of all
other articles of food wee on the increase, but that of Arita
was declining. From a return which be (Sir S. North-
cote) obtained last year he found that in 1841 the consump-
tion of spirits, British and foreign, was 90 gallons for 100
prom. la 1651 it increased to 104 gallons, in 1859 it fell
to 100 gallons, in 1860 it fall to 93 gallons, in 1861 to 85

would be found to be lower still. In that year
they soli expect to find the consumption falling
off more and more, because this wass time of distress, and
in tire el distress the first article upon which the poor
wan emarniesd was that of spirita. Was it probable or

Marred ; but he was afraid if they looked
below the surface they would see that this
was not an unmixed good. There was this very
strikleg. and to him he must roofer uncomfortable fact
Last year we imported an extraordinarily large quantity of
articles Wood- coca, tea, sugar, coffee, tobaomo, and other
articles, not of reproductive character; whereas the money
we empended upon articles on which our industry cold be
erateind, such as raw cotton, silk, and wool, which added to
the wealth al the country, had fallen off. No lies than
5,500,0001. worth of artides el food we had ear, drank,
sod smoked away, but we had dreaded lees by 3.000,000/. or
4,000,0001. in the purchase of materials it pro-
ductive hadnstry. That was by no means the
whole of the cue, because when he said they
had expended leas by 300,000,0001. or 400,000,003/. in
the purchase of materials, that did not measure the frier
off in the quantity of materials. They were min enor-
mous pekes for those materials which they did Import;
They imported a largely diminished quantity of cotton, and
a largely increased quantity of other materials, such as flax
hemp wool, and silk. The par cringeflax,
of decrease in the
quantity imported was 58 per out., but they paid between
19 and 20 per cent of what they paid the year before, With
regard to other articles, they imported 31 per cent. of flax,
and paid 52 per cot. They imported 30 per cent.
of lump and paid 40 per cent. more. They
imported 17 and 18 per cent. more of wool and silk,-
sad paid 20 and 27 pare cont. more. That was
a state of things which must drain the resources of the
corny, for they were expending more en providers and
raw materials than they could afford to Pay for. Ills point
wee that there must come a period of distress after such an
expenditure. And if the people endured dietrer the re-
name rest offer also. The sufferirep in Lancashire and
Ironed wen not, he was afraid, likely to diminish for some-
time, and the state of their foreign relations, especially as

the decimal at all. _ _ . _

By the Coroner—He did not know who slept in the
second-floor beak room, over where the deoeued was found.
By a Juror—Hie father, being an invalid, did not sleep
very sound, but he raid he did not hear anything on the

A Juror said it was the wish of the jury to know mew
thiasshoat the occupation of the two Dies lodgers.
said that one of them, about 70 years old, swept
a moseing in Bedford-square, and the other, about the same
age. was a hawker. They both went out very early.
The summoning officer said he had questioned one of
the two men. He was very old and fable, and seed
he knew nothing about the affair.
Mr. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said he was
called to the house ia George-street by Clam Mulliede on
the Thursday. He went to the home, and on going to the
room he found her woman lying dead acmes the bed, a de-
scribed by the other witnesses. He found a halfpenny lying
on the sleeve of the charms, which was maturated with
blood, but it must have fallen there, as there was no blood
on it. There was also • thimble lying in the middle of the
bed, quite clean and free from blood. The demand's bon-
net and mantle were oo the sideboard, and the remainder
of the clothing wag lying at the foot of the bed, between
the body and the footboard. The drone was some incises
' over the right arm. Sbe had a chemise and stockings on.
The boots were under the had of the bed, on the Soot.
By the Coroner—The deceased's hair, the sheets, and two
! white handkerchiefs were saturated with blood. The body
Iliad the appearance of having bees handled, as the blood was
smeared over it, 1111 if some hands had pared over it while
the blood was flowing. Neer the head of the bed there
were five finger =mks of blood on the wall, sad also a
! number of spots of blood. Os removing the body another
halfpenny was found oa the bed ; sexpeese wee found in the
drew pocket. There was emu water ID the bans, which
I had the appearance of some blood having been washed off
in it. The window wee opeced and the curtails wee twisted
twice round. He examined the sill, and there was
dust there which had not been disturbed. There
were no marks against the walL Should way that
no one had left the house by the window. Amy or
making his escape by thewindow would have to drop 11
fees into the yard and 31:1 feet to the area. The door had
been examined, and be forted it would fasten inside with •
bolt and outside with a hasp. If the hap was put firmly
clew, up to the door poet ft would be impossible to open it
from the haide, but if it wee only put half over the shaking
of the door alight open it. He examined the door leading
into the other room, and found it fastened, and all the cre-
vices had been filled up with putty. This had not been
disturbed. The hones had been sashed from top to bottom,
and every exertion had been made, but the palm had not

deceased an the Thursday morning. Several suspected per
igee had been eternised blow the police, and they had
given eatisfactory amounts of themselves. The police were
still prosecuting their lupines with the utmost vigour.
The Coroner thee summed up the evidence, aid mid it
was very clear that the deceased bed been meet orally
murdered, and he thought the seldom pointed mainly to
the man who was seen in her cmipany before she went to
the house in George-street on the Thursday rooming. The
evidence wee very clear as to the cause of the death, and the
question was whether any pod would be effected by the
jury adjourning to a future day. He might mention that
they could wifely leave the matter in the buds of the
police.
The jury bavieg briefly deliberated, they returned the
following verdict :—" That the deceased Emma Jacloion was
wilfully murdered by some pereoefor persons naknown."
