the improved rental of their estates, and the investment of

1.12 other widows and daughters permanently from 10/. to
151. per annum. Besides the valuable &whence* thus
afforded to clergymen, their widows cad aged daughters,
donation and apprentice fees, of various amounts, have
from time to time been given for apprenticing,
and placing out in life many children (both boys and
poor clergymen. In the comae of every year the peseisas sad

the corporation dispeuses so widely, end, it may be added, so
judiciously and disc riminstely, can seareely be overeetimated.
Whilst the n tober of clergymen is rapidly increesinkand their
worth and zeal are becoming more conspicuous, their worldly
remuseration is demising and more precarious, and it is
satisfactory, therefore, to know that a corporation founded
so long ago as 1678 for the relief of the clergy and their
families not only still exists, but has gathered strength with
yaws, and was never so dounshing or vigorous as at the pre-
sent time, when its resources are so greatly needed.

Clearing, Kent ; and a mission-house at Metheringharn, near
Slesford, Lincolnshire. The society likewise accepted the
trust of a repair fund for the church of St. Auguatine, Tice-
burst, Sussex. It is worthy of the deepest attention that
at this single meeting ao amount of grants was made ex-
ceeding by nearly 2001. half the whole last year's income of
the society. The applications for aid are thus increasing
rapidly and urgently.

The case excited considerable interest, • corona's jury
having returned • verdict of "wilful murder " monist the
accused, and in consequence of the coroner's warrant having
Len received at the gaol, the governor refused, on the
11th instant, to deliver the prisoner up for further
axaminetise Were the magistrates by whom he had
been remanded. The maastrates, feeling that the pri-
soner was thus debar. from the opportunity of
putting crweeitons tothe witnemer, be being absent while
the inquest was held, directed application to be made to the
Secretary of State to order the governor of Maidstone Gaol
to deliver the prisoner to a constable on their (the magi-
strates') temnent. The Secretary of State said be had no•
power to order the delivering up of anyger committed
tor trial, except for the purpowe of evidence, and
aubsequently en application was made to the Lord Chief
Justice, who at once issued a Limas directing the prisoner
to be brawl& before the mfgistratec this day.

said he would go and get • doctor. He was absent some
time and my mother died in my presence. The doc-
tor ifterwards , none and looked at my mother. On the
Wednesday the prisoner hit my mother as we were going
to Bexley-heath. He struck her with his hand and knocked
her down. My mother then got up and we walked some
distance, when the prisoner again knocked her down, and
she then fell into a hedge. My mother then complained
that she could not get rap, and continued sitting down. We
afterwards went on nun, anal the next morning (Thursday)
the prisoner wanted her to go beck to Bexley, and he again
struck her, and, 1 believe, kicked her in the back while lying
in • hedge. Mytmotheretold him not to do it any more.
They had been quarrelling became my mother had been
along with her brother-in-law. Ny mother complained of
her back being very bad after the primmer bad kicked her.
The prisoner, in answer to the magistrates, said he had no
qui:orlon, to put to the witness.
William Everest deposed to going to • shed on some land
and seeing the deceased lying dead, and the last witness
I there.
Police-oonstable Towle, 65 Kent county constabulary,
said—l apprehended the prisoner at the Chequers Inn at
Farninghara, and told him be was wanted on a charge of
murdering his wife. He replied that he knew he had done
it, and hohoped be should be hanged for it. 1 afterwards
sent for Sergeant Deabwood, and when he came the prisoner
said he wished to make a statement. He was cautioned
against doing ash, es whatever he stated might be used
spinet him. He repeated that he knew he had done it, and
should hike to make a statement, and he then said that on
the previous Saturday he and the deceased, whom be called
hi wife, were at Croydon, and had some wads; that he laid
down with his wife at night, but on awaking in the morn-
ing he found she had gone. He then went in search of her
for two or three days, when he found her on Begley-heath
with another man, and he went up to her and spook her,
and afterwards continuing to quarrel, he knocked her down
and kicked her. He also added that the deceased had com-
et his illmsage and asked him to forgive her, which
Clitrused to do, sad that after he sent for some brandy for
her he came to Farningham to get a doctor.
The prisoner declined putting any quart:ions to this
witness.
Henry Covill, of 7, Hanover-street, Lewisham, said—
The deoeased was my mother. I last saw her alive at my
oormin's house, at Greenwich, on the Solidity previous to her
death. She then appeared in good health, and said she bad
left Jack, meaning the primer, as she could not bear his

tame to me where I was working, and asked me where
rinntkar we.? I told him I did not know, on which he
replied it was no use my saying so, for he
w..e sore I had seen her. I told bum if he would go
away and stay till dinner time I would see him.
He went away. At 12 o'clock I went home to dinner, and
about half an hour afterwards the prisoner came and
asked me if I would tell him where my mother was I
told him I could not tell him where she was, but that I
could tall him where I saw her last. He then said, if I
would tell him he would give me • sovereign, or anything I
wanted. After • short time I went with him to Green-
wich, to my cousin's, and my cousin told me she had gone
on the road to Crocken-hill. I then told the prisoner where
she had gone, and he offered me a half-sovereign, and alter-
wards la. 6d. for my hali-day's loss of time, which I refused
to take. We then walked on towards Blackheath, where
we parted, the pawner raving he should like to see my
mother dead at his feet and then he should be happy.
(Sensation.)
The prisoner said be had no questions to ask the
witnesses.
Mr. Brandon, superintendent of the Kent county consta-
bulary at Dartford, maid—l went to the lock-up at lk.rtford,
and saw the prisoner in custody. He then said he wished
to make • statement, and, after receiving the usual caution,
I wrote down his statement, which I afterwards reW
over to him, sad which he signal. The statement was
here read by the magistrate's clerk, and was as follows :
" I have lived with Cordell& Covill thirteen years. She re-
cently left me. I went in search of her, and found her
Wednesday last at Baxley-heath, in company with Ned
Covill, her brother-in-law, in the road. I New him kiss
her, and heard her say, 'Clod blow you.' I then went op
to her, mid knocked her down. She got up, end asked
me toforgive her for what she had done. I said I would
not. We then went to a public-bowie, and I gave her a
pint of beer and had • bottle of giogerbeer myself. We then
went on farther to another, public-house and had some re-
freshment. I asked for a lodgiw, but could not get one.
We then went into • hay-field in company with her daugh-
ter, and there lay all night. In the morning I told her if
she would tell me the truth I would forgive her. She said
shehad told the truth, I then struck and kicked her se-
veral times. We then went to a public-house at Foote-
rsand had some refreshment ; and from there to the
at Birchwood, where we bad two pots of beer and •
quartena of gin and some sugar. I had some words with her,
and struck her. We then went into •• wood and laid
' down to sleep for shout two hours, and afterwards went
to Crocken-Inll, lighted a fire by the roadside, where we
' both laid down. After a time the got up and drank a drop
of tea, which she retched up again. She then asked me to
make her a drop of broth, but I could not get anything to
make it with. I got some flour and a bit of butter, and
mixed them to boil, but before it was done she went into a
It. I could yaks nothing of her, and sent for three-
, pennyworth of
lyinginstead, by the medal& at this time. I then
took her up in my arms and carried her into a ge, where
I made her a bed on some strew, and laid her down.
I undressed her as well as I could, Lel laid down by her
aide. After lying some time she got up, and then
laid down again. In the morning I went to meat her up
sad found her worse. I seat for another three-pennyworth
of brandy for her, and also some vinegar to bathe her. I
than found that she was nearly but not quite dead, and I
ergot to Fentiegham to • doctor's, and told him I had
killed my wife, and he must go and see her at Crocken-
hill. and I would give =pelf up to the police. I paid the
doctor to go."
the
In reply to thessagistrates, prisoner said the statement
read was peefectly true.
Mr. W.R.- Ashunt, surgeon, of Farninghani, having cor-
roborated that part of the above statement as to the pri-
mmer calling on him and telling him he had killed his
wife, said he had made a post-mortem examination
of the body of the deceased and found several
bruises, two of which were on the Wt thigh, one
about the centre of the outer side, and the other higher up,
both of which might have been produced by kicking.
There were sloe cruses on the arms and right shoulder,
and two bruises on the neck at the corresponding set
the jaw, if some effort. had been made at strangulation:

pearance and distended, and • little adherent ; and on re-
movW the membrane he found a large quantity of coagu-
lated Wed covering the entire surface, the cause of death
being, in Ide opinion, the rupture of one of the larger ves-
.la of the brain, which might have been occasioned
by violence, a fall, • fit., or any other cause.
This being the whole of the evidence, the court was

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23.

WE publish great news of Say. Our Naples
correspondent informs us that King Fastras
shrinks from the struggle for his last stronghold in
that island. The arrival of MEDICI and a small
but heroic army at MeLaw appears to have deter.
mined his resolution to withdraw all his forces to
the mainland, and accordingly orders have been given
for the complete evacuation of Sicily. We are not
informed whether the withdrawal of the Bour-
bon army takes place under a capitula-
tion, as our latest telegraphic advice, from
Sicily mention the warfare se still continued. If
the forms of an armistice and a convention an
observed, the evacuation of Messina with its
ample war materiel must of necessity take many
days. If not, Gsaisstni's belligerent rights re-
main unimpaired, and it will only be for him to
consider as a matter of policy whether ho shall
quicken by a few rear blows the departure of the
enemy.

The illustrious General may fairly claim for
himself and his troops all the credit of this no-
oses, notwithstanding the reserve of merit node
by the Kum in assigning motives of humanity for
the resolution be has taken. The Kola well
knows GARIBALDI'S policy, knows that that
General will not halt until he has proved
whether the Betzson or the Italian cause
has most energy in the Sicilian States. His ad-
visers must have told him that there is no such
thing as buying peaceable possession of the conti-
nent by the surrender of the island. GARIBALDI
leads an army too small for conquest. His power
depends on the welcome he receives. la a terri-
tory where he is not wanted he an do nothing.
Palermo was given up become the Botrames cause
had no root in the soil, and become the sooty had
no faith in its deg. GAILIZALDI will no doubt ad-
vance to the mainland, carrying the touchstone of
war. If he should be received by the people and
the army as an intruder, his followers are too few
to violate the rights of the nation ; but if he should
be hailed as &liberator, nothing can save the reigning
dynasty. The Neapolitan Government may have
judged that the Crown might be more advan-
tageously defended on the mainland than in Sicily,
after what experence has taught of the efficiency
and tideliq of its fleet ; but it is difficult to believe
that it has surrendered its stronghold from mg
higher or lase interested motive. The impending
evacuation of Hameln& is a confession of defeat,
and a new and great tribute to the strength of the
Italian cause. Passers 11. cannot hope that his
Sag will ever fly again from the citadel of that
town ; he knows that in giving it up he gives it up
for ever.

General GAILIIIALDeII warlike preparations b*
now attained an extent and power which make it
improbable he will long remain inactive. We
sincerely trust that a spirit of moderation and
unity will prevail at Palermo, and permitting the
machine of civil Government to work easily, leave
him free to prosecute the great task before him.

THE proceedings at the meeting of the creditors
of Messrs. STREATIZILD, LACHIDICE, and MORTI-
moRE, the great hide and leather factors, which
was held on Friday last, have justly attracted a
vast deal of attention in commercial circles.
Unless the causes of the convulsion in the leather
trade can be distinctly traced and shown to be of
an exceptional character, the seeds of distrust
which have been sown within the last few weeks,
and which are not without an effect upon the dis-
count market, will not be lightly eradicated. In
some respects, however, the disclosures now made
have a certain re-assuring tendency. It is difficult
to imagine that there exists in this coun-
try a similar case of • knot of houses
solely dependent upon • larger firm, and carrying
on an extensive system of paper manufacture for
mutual support. On the Ist of January, 1857
only three years and a half ago—Means. STILT-
FULD and Co. are believed by Mr. Tonnuarin, the
accountant, to have been solvent. ♦t that date
their paper involvements in easnation with other,
houses, which have since risen to the almost in-
credible sum of nearly 800,0001., amounted to
365,0001., but the whole of the debts due to the
firm were believed to be good. This delusion,
however, must have been soon dispelled,
so far as the private knowledge of the
partners was concerned, for it has trans-
pired that in that same year-1857—the
whole of the " profits," put down at 33,9831.,
were written off against the "bad debt" account.
The same course was pursued with regard to nearly
the whole of the profits in 1858 and 1859, the
respective amounts of which were 39,7921. and
42,830!. Consequently, it would appear that
during the three years the firm was enabled to
set aside against its bad debts no less a sum than
108,5031. But there is • greet fallacy in all
this. Had no addition been made to the involve-
ments with the dependent houses•—in other words,
had the amount of the bad debts remained eta-
timers, subject to diminution from year to
year as the profits of the house were ap-
propriated to the purpos►—the case would
hate been a simple one, and the partners might
fairly have hoped, by • long course of perseverance

and self-denial, to
themeless. But during
liabilities have been L.
rapidity. The aaociateu _
them, instead of restricting
have been incessantly extending them. the assinutt
of the " drafts in semi of Waimea due "—which
is a mild business expression for paper not bed
upon "value received," or, in other words, "e►
omenodation bills," is alleged, it is tree, nee te
have exceeded 68,8601. ; but it is perfectly eel-
duet that the entire system pursued by the
&spectated houses was one of mutual assenneadep,
tion from first to last. There must have been a
vast system of bill-renewing ; and as means TM,
short, the purchases of hides and leather effected
through the great factors' house in London were
hugely extended. Against these transactions bill:
were dman by wholesale, and were then
" malted," as the cant phrase is, with the aid of
the credit of the great firm, in the multifarious
channels of discount accommodation which were
so long enjoyed. These were the means by
which the great factors were enabled frequently to
akar the market of a particular article, adding
the new supply to the stock already held upon
borrowed money, and giving a factitious impulse
to prices in the market. The funds of our joint
stock banks and discount establishments have been
occasionally invested upon the most magnificent
scale in those not very attractive articles of com-
merce--hides. It ie obvious that when this system
had once been Melded beyond the limits war
ranted by their capital there was no alternative
foe MANUS. STIULATTILLD but either to go on
with it indefinitely or to hold their hand at
once, and stop payment. They preferred the
former course, probably entertaining some wild
idea that the market for the commodities in which
they traded would some day take such a propi-
tious turn as would enable them and their de-
pendenta to get out. Meanwhile, whenever the
latter fell into straits, the big house must needs
help them, for the whole of them were so mixed
up together that it was only by leaning against
and supporting each other that they could stand.
At last the embarrassments of one of the Flavin"'
cial houses—that of Messrs. Basra; of Nenb
worth—became matter of public notoriety,
their bills came back upon Messrs. Eiralaresuo,
vague whisperings got about, discounters became
suddenly impressed with a tardy caution, and the
whole machine was at a standstill. The stoppage
of Messrs. firincerrsito was of course instantly
followed by that of all their dependents in town
and country.
The whole of the facts connected with this most
remarkable instance of over-trading will no doubt
be laid bare to the public eye, through the investi-
gation which will take place now that Messrs.
OVERLID, OMNI; and Co., and other large
creditors, have thrown the estate into the
Court of Bankruptcy. We cannot but re-
giud the course which these gentlemen lave
adopted a most creditable to them. Cre-
ditors are rarely anxious to make their private
interests subservient to those of the public,
or to encounter the slow and searching ordeal of
proceedings in Bankruptcy, with all their attendant
wspenses. It may appear to some minds harsh to
break up entirely a business which for three years
past has yielded profits at the rate of 40,0001. a
year ; but these profits must have been fallacious,
since their realisation was dependent upon a
continuance, and even extension, of the trans-
actions between the great firm and the
smaller ones. As long as this system lasted, any
profits were little more than nominal ; and with
the subsequent stoppage of the minor houses the
balk of Mann. STASAYSEILD'S business would natu-
rally be lost. The institution of proceedings in
Bankruptcy will therefore cause no regret on this
score. On the other hand, an official inquiry can
scarcely fail to produce some useful results of a
warning tendency, and to re-assure the public
mind, which will not be entirely relieved from
anxiety until a flood of light is thrown upon the
whale of these transactions.
The accounts received during the last week from
the Lancashire cotton districts are not favourable.
The sales of goods for India, China, the Medi-
terranean, Germany, and most other markets, as
well as for the home trade, have been below the
average, and the tendency of prices both as re-
gards yarns and cloths, is still downwards It is
only by making concessions that sellers are able to
do business. Meanwhile, the tenor of the letters
from India continues discouraging. It is remarked
that every day an increase seems to take place in
the number of producers whose orders are be-
coming exhausted, and who, consequently, must
tempt buyers by offering to work at lower prices.
This condition of the market will probably before
long affect employment in some of the rnanufac-
tuna' g districts.
The Liverpool cotton market is fiat and rather
lower in price, and the stock at that port, though
not so large as it was a few weeks back, amounts
to 1,287,100 bales, being nearly double the quan-
tity held at this date last year. The accounts
from America respecting the growing cotton crop
continue very favourable, and another large yield
is expected. Considering this prospect, our pm-
sent enormous stock of the article is the more
worthy of notice.
Some of the other branches of home industry
have been favourably influenced by the improve-
ment in the prospects of the harvest. In the
woollen district., caution continues to be occa-
mimed by the high price of the raw material, but
spinners and manufacturers are well employed.
In the Midland iron and hardware districts,
business is more active than it was a few weeks
back, but the slackness of the demand for pig iron
Is complained of. At Nottingham the lace trade
is better, whilst the hosiery branch remains quiet.
At Coventry the strike of the silk-weavers
continues.

The meeting of creditors of Messrs. Rome
FREELAND and BZOTHER, of Manchester, MY held
in that town on Tuesday bat, and the balanee-
sheet submitted has produced an unfavourable int-
presaion. The result of the estate depends upon
that of the oonsigrunents to India, which amount
to 509,0001., subject to 441,000/. of liabilities.
Taking the comigrunents at east prioea, they ex-
hibit an apparent surplus of 67,0001., but the
result will probably be very different. Them
figures afford an idea of the extent to which the
export trade is stimulated by the credit system.
Nearly the entire amount of the consignments
made by this house appears to be represented by
paper afloat. Too many of our modern merchants
scorn so shabby a consideration as that of adapt-
ing their business to their capitaL
