examined Mr. J. L Fernandez was sane& and, having
renewed his objection to giving evidence, on the ground that
be might criminate himself, soil complaining that he had
been very harshly treated, said, ehohU his lordship decide
that he was bound to give evidence, he could only say that
he must bow to his decision, but at the same time he
trusted his lordship would see that: be (witness) was pro-
peril. protected.
Mr. Baron Martin said it was his duty to inform Mr.
Fernandez that what he did at the but assizes had come
before the three courts at Weetznineter.hall, and all the
judges had deckled that he was bound to answer the qua-
toils put to him. He assured Mr. Fernandes that he was
io uo peril whatever, and 1,1111 quite free (rum all penalties.
The certificate which bad been impounded was handed to
Mr. Fernandez, when his examination was continued. He
stated that he had hail some conversation with Mr. Charles-
worth upon the subject of money foe the election. He told
Mr. J. B. Cbarleswurth that from 1,0001. to 1,300/. would
be required preliminary to the election. Witness spoke to '
sums which he bad received and paid for the purposes of
the election.

Cross-examined—He Lad no communication with the de-
fendant as to Low the money should be applied and ex-
pended. There was • majority of GO upon the
eon% ass, and bribery was not thought of. None of
the 1,500/. was applied in obtaining the votes of the
electors. No bribery was mentioned until Brom came to
him three or four days before the election, 1,200/. or 1,500/.
wail for preliminary expenses to gain the majority upon the
show of Lands, for watchers and runners who were non-
electors. He believed that the sum of was mini by
him to Holder to meet the expenses of the watchers and
the runners. The defendant was not aware how the money
was expended. Ho canvassed with the defendant, who had
no ides of being guilty of bribery. If he had mentioned
the subject whilst on the canvass, he was sure Mr.
Charlesworth would not have approved of any
such proposition. Mr. Charlesworth was innocent
of any charge of bribery brought against him.
I knew that we Lad • majority of GO 00 the canvass, and at
• dinner I heard Mr. Charlesworth say, that he bad rather
lose his election than bebSy of bribery. He warned his
friss& present against bri This was • fortnight before
the election. 1, never or saw Mr. Charlesworth do
scything contrary to what he said at this dinner.
Mr. Baron Martin expressed hie satisfaction at the man-
na in which Mr. Fernandes had given his evidence that
day. If he applied to the Secretary of State for a release
from undergoing the remainder of him punishment, he might
refer to his lordship, in making the application.
John Shaw deposed that he received 40/. from Mr. Fer-
nandez, and *pent 30/. of it iu hnbing a voter named Richard
Wilcock, a primer. Wilcock took some vegetable. to
Biadfoni market, and did nut vote at all.
Crean-examined—Told Mr. Fernandez that I should want
401. for election impasses.
Wm. Well said that he knew Rrenr, who gave him 401.
He said to Brear that be was tired of being asked for his
vote, and told him that if he voted at all he would vote for
Mr. Charlieworth. Brew then left the shop.
Samuel Gifford, tailor, Market-street, received 15/. from
Bran- to give Lis vote fur Charlesworth. A few days eller
this, on the nomination day, be again saw Brew, who gave
him another 15/. He then told Wear that lie was not of
Mr. Charlesworth's way of thinking, and should not vote
for him.

John Whitehead (Bradford) know a man named Moore,
living at Bishop Auckland. I got the name of the " Man
in the Moon," and when I went to Wakefield I was intro-
duced to Bream I was a stranger in that town. I received
mosey from Ilrear, amounting in the whole to 5001. I be-
came acquainted with a man named Laing, to whom I think
I gave 501. for Lis vote in favour of Mr. Charlesworth. I
gore a portion of the money, about 200/., to a man named
Dan. Robinson.
Romp Laing said he received from the " Man in the
Moon" 501. to vote for Mr. Charlesworth.

Dan. Robinson (Bradford) received 2001. from Whitehead
to bribe voters. He gave Thomas Stead, • bread-baker,
601. for his vote.
Thomas Stead admitted that be bad received 601. to vote
for Mr. Chariesworth. Dan. Robinson gave him the money.
This closed the case ter the prosecution.
Sir F. Kelly thee addressed the jury for the defendant.
He said that he appealed to them confidently for their
verdict in favour of the defendant, who was • gentleman
and • magistrate of the county, had been a member of parlia-
ment, and hal eojeyed,,and still enjoyed, the esteem and
ornikleota of all who knew him throughout Yorkshire. The
mime alleged against tbadefendmit, being one of some magni-
tude, it was necessary that the evidence should be positive
sad conclusive, but in his judgment it was not of that clear
character an to justify the jury in convicting the defendant
of bribery.

Mr. baron Martin. in slimming up, mid that the jury
must mushier and try the case in the same manner as they
would any other in the criminal court on the other side.
They must not convict upon suspicion, but act entirely
upon the nature of the evidence that had been given. If
they should think that the defendant did not interfere to
prevent acta of bribery, but, with his eyes open, allowed
these slams of money which had been armed to be expended
in influencing the votes of the electors, then, as men of
common sense, the jury would be bound to find
him guilty. If they, however, should think that
the evidence was not conclusive, they must acquit
the defendant. His lordship referred to the act
of parliament, and quoted the sections of it, telling the jury
that if the defendant had in their judgment committed
bribery within the meaning of the statute be must be con-
victed. Bribery, of course, bad to be carried on secretly.
A man could out .t.tod in the street and bribe people openly;
be must be behind the scenes, and do the thing privately.
The jury before they found a verdict of guilty most be con-
vinced that the defendant was • consenting party to the
payment of the bribes, the money for which had been
placed in the hands of Mr. J. B. Charlesworth. If the do.
fondant chose to keep his eyes abut and would not look at
what was going on, but turned aside, the question was whe-
ther he was not substantially and in truth as much guilty
of bribery as if he bad with his own hands given the bribes.
The jury retired and were absent for upwards of an hour,
when they found • verdict of (kitty against the defendant
upon the first count, namely, that he had unlawfully given
mosey to Mr. J. B. Charleeworth, with the intent that
it should be expended, or some portion of it, for purposes
of bribery. As to the other amnia alleging specific acts of
bribery the jury could not agree, and they were diacharged
without giving *verdict. The jury told-his lordship that
there was no prospect of their agreeing upon these particular
counts.

FRIGHTFUL MURDER IN KENT.

On Friday afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, a
frightful and evidently premeditated murder was committed
at New Barns, a hamlet within the parish of Town Mailing.
Kent. It mama that about seventeen years since a farm
labourer named John Atkins married at Brenchley, in that
county, a respectable young woman, the daughter of a saw-
yer, named Walker, living with her parents at Milo Oak.
The husband, shortly after the marriage, behaved very
strangely, and was exceedingly jealous of his wife, but,
No
far as we can learn, without the slightest cause.
They moved about from place to place solely in conse-
quence of the jealousy of the husband ; and some three or
four months since they came to reside in one of throe cot-
tages on the estate of Mr. James Graham, New Barns,
Atkins being employed ot. the estate of that gentleman.
Here the husband appears to have behaved most brutally
from time to time to his unfortunate wife. His fellow-
workmen, knowing his foible, were constantly in the habit
of what is familiarly termed " chaffing" Atkins, who would
gm home and beat his wife sod turn her out of doors. Mrs.
Atkins was the mother of thirteen children, of whom only
three are surviving. She was confined with her last child
about nine or ten weeks since, but, fortunately, the infant
did out live. Three weeks ago the luau bad been plagued
by the other workmen, and he went home and ill-used his
wife, tearing successively no fewer than three dresses from
her person, and at length turned her out of doors and
threw a quantity of water over her. As usual, she sought
refuge with her ceighbours. On Friday afternoon Atkins
was in his cottage converting with his wife and a neigh-
bour. He seemed in a jocular mood, and playfully
pinched his Mb?* cheek, with the observation, " You
know you have ! You are a bad woman." The neighbour
went into her own house and upstairs to dress ; at the
same time the only inmate of Atkins's cottage (excepting
himself and wife) their youngest child, a girl, was upstairs
putting on her shoes. limnug her mother scream out, the
child ran down, when she saw her father holding his wife
by one hand, and in the other brandishing a pocket knife.
The girl at once ran to the neighbour's house and called for
assistance, but could not get in, the door being fastened.
The unfortunate woman was next seen to rush from her
house to the door of the neighbour, to which she clung.
She was bleeding profusely from the throat. The brutal
husband followed her and dragged her from the door. In
the meantime Mrs. Smith, the neighbour, a woman nearly
seventy years of age, being much frightened, came out of
her cottage, with the evident intention of going to Mrs. At-
kins's assistance, but the husband brandished the knife sa
her face, threatening to serve her in the same way if she in-
terfered. Mrs. Atkins staggered a short distance down the
lane, and managed to scramble through a gap in the hedge
into a field opposite the cottages, closely pursued by the
husband. Here the parties were seen by a little boy strur
gling together,aed here the fearful crime was consummated.
Atkins then, leaving the unfortunate woman en the field,
not quite dead, returned to his cottage, took his wife's cap,
end went to the door of a Mrs. Ridley's cottage, where be
endeavoured to wipe up the blood. He then went indoors,
locoing the door after him. The alarm, however, had been
given,end the house was closely watched by two men named
Willett and Perch. After a short time Willett left Perch
in charge to watch in the lane and prevent further vio-
isnot', and went to Milling for the police and a medi-
cal man. Dr. Pope was speedily at the place, and on
knocking at the door it was at once opened by the murderer,
who bad in the interim been busily engaged in wiping the
blood from the floor and furniture. The body of Mrs. At-
kin'', who was then quite dead, was removed from the field
to the house by Willett and Perch, and it was found that
she bad been stabbed in the neck, and also severely cut in
the left side of the throat. The cause of death was the
stab, which had penetrated as far as the interior jugular
vein. Atkins was at once taken into custody, and was re-
moved to the Town Melling police station. He was subse-
quently taken before Mr. Savage at that gentleman's private
residence, St. Leonard's-park, where, formal evidence
having been adduced, he was remanded until Wednesday,
sad was removed to the Maidstone county prison. On the
same afteroooo an inquest was held, cad the jury returned
• verdict of " Waful murder" against Atkins, who will be
tried neat week at the Kest assizes at Maidstone.

COTTON GOODS. —3IANCHESTIS, JULY 20.—The ac-
tivity of the market ha gradually increased during the
prices
oods
arns, and
Mteac.onenkdmilditoiltlispU.enaThei impulseand
willitict has been given
to trade in the last fortnight has failed to give manufac-
turers a corresponding feeling of relief, because the move-
ment is so largely traceable to the warlike news from
America causing excitement in the market for the raw
material. Although the price of cloths has risen, buyers
have disputed every. shade of advance, the state of the'
foreign markets oblivng them to be fully on their guard.
In many cases the complaint is made by producers that
their small margin of profit has been again diminiahed by
the necessity of buying cotton at the present high price,
whilst they have so much difficulty in gaining a fraction
more for their fabrics. A good deal of business has been
done in India shirting., jacconets, bre., and the former are
about lA. per piece dearer than on Tuesday. Domestics
have not had much share of attention. Higher prices are
asked for T cloths and long cloths, but they are hardly ob-
tainable, and any increased sale has been almost confined to
the drat-named, at the previ3us rates. As before, only the
better kinds of printing cloth seem to improve their position'
slightly. In yarns the upward movement and increase of
business have been very decided. The advance since Tues-
day has been id. per lb., or sometimes more, in 30's water
twist, 40's mule, and in warps, twist and pin'cops, both for
export and the home trade. Doubled yarns continue steady
or hardening.

HARDWARE.—BIRMINGRAM, JULY 20.—The trade of
this town has presented an appearance of more animation
this week ; this is nut general, but lira been felt in parti-
cular branches, still it has so far bad a good effect. In the
home department business remains dull, the orders for
autumn goods having up to this moment been small, and
the factors' travellers are sending home orderabeeta
which are somewhat scantily tilled, but notwithstanding
this, there are many instances in which ma uufacturers havejust
received orders for particular markets, and who undoubtedly
are doing better than they have been for some time past,
though they are still below en average trade. The makers
of some descriptions of fancy goods are rather better sup-
plied with orders ; • similar remark applies to some of the
tool makers who have orders from Spain for the class of
tools used in the construction of railways. In the
general continental trade more activity prevails, some of
the merchant. doing au average trade for the season. There
are also orders in fur the Brazilian markets. For autumn
goods suitable to the home trade there has been scarcely any
inquiry at present, the country ironmongers and others pre-
ferring to wait the result of the harvest before laying in
their stocks for the ensuing season ' • the consequence Utast
manufacturen in most of the trades affected are slack ; and
ore either making up goods for stock, or the men are work-
ing short time. Our manufacturers are directing their
attention to the production of goods suitable to Frans ;
inquiries having already been made for various articles, the
manufacture of this town and neighbourhood t there
appears to be no doubt that under the new tariff
there will in time be a considerable increase oil our
1 trade with the French, the point at the outeet being to get
patterns suitable for use in the country, and in accordance
with the tuitional taste. In the adjoining district of South
Staffordshire trade is in a bad state, and there is a gooddeal
of labour out of employment, but this is chiefly in connexion
with the ironworks in partial operation onlyand the number
of furnaces out of blast. There is some commotion also
amongst the workmen, the puddler, and others, consequent
on the notices to reduce wages ; but there is uothing to indi- I
ate that a strike is contemplated, and the general impres-
sion is that in a week or two the men will all go in to work
at the reductions, as to the necessity for which they mint
be well enough informed. The needle trade at Itedditeh
is very much depressed in consequence of the stoppage of
the American orders. In this locality the prevailing im•
pression is, that the revival in trade will be gradual, and
that during the whole of this year there will be a certain
amount of dulness ; but that next spring business will be
brisk. It is probably with this view that the shareholders
in the Birmingham Wagon Company have just resolved, on
the recommendation of the board of directors, to double
their capital by the issue of 10,000 preference shares of IW.
each, to bear interest at the rats of 6 per cent.

CORN.—CAXIMIDGF., JULY 20.—Our market was very
dull indeed to-day, with no alteration in prices. We want
home fine weather, as during the whole of this week, we
have been visited with a succession of storms some of them
very heavy.

30s. Oats, 245. to 295. Beans, 42e. to 465.

Newenarix-uron-Tirna, JOLT 20.—At our market this

growers, and fresh thrashed sampler being wanted were
cleared off upon the terms of this day se'noight, whilst in
other descriptions few transactions transpired. although
milers were willing to make • concession of le. per qr.
indeed, so little was done that oar quotations can be written;
little bettor than nominal. Flour was not offered lower,
but odes proceeded slowly. Grinding barley without
change. Malt met little attention, and, to promote busi-
ness, lower rates bad to be submitted to. la beaus or peas
scarcely anything stirring. Oats may be writtea le. lower,

READINO, JULY 20.—There was rather a thin attendance
at our market this morning. The supply of wheat was
moderate, but business was very languid. The best
samples realised last week's rates but inferior qualities were
cheaper. In other articles the trade was really nominal.
ROCHESTER, JULY 20. —The attendance of farmers and
the trade pretty good. For anything like good prime sam-

BIETROPOLIB GAR AST Ammo/dr-Yr Biu..—A bill
bee just been introduced into Parliament by Mr. Clive and
Sir G. C. Lewis. It has for its object the amendment of the
Metropolis Gee Act of last session. It will be remembered
that in the act of last year powers were conferred upon the
justices of the pews in quarter sessions to appoint impac-
tors and perform various other duties in connection with the
carrying out of that act, which duties up to the present
time they hays failed to perform. The present bill, which
consists of but one section besides the preamble, enacts that
all powers conferred on the justices of the peace of any
rept county in general or quarter sessions assembled, the
Act :nand Z. 3 Vic., c. 68, intitialed " An Act for ling
Measures used in Sales of Gas," he., shall, in so ar as re.
lates to the metropolis, as deemed by an act passed in the
session holden in 18th and 19th years of her present Ma-
jesty, chap. 120, intituled "An Act for the better local
Management of the Metropolis," hi transferred and vested
in the Metropolitan Board of Works • and so many of the
said powers as are conferred by section 4 of the rid act
shall be exercised by such board within two months after
the passing of this act ; and all expenses incurred by them
in pursuance of this act shell be defrayed by them out of the
rates leviable by them within their jurisdiction, exclusive of
the City of London. There is DO doubt that the transfer of
these powers to the Metropolitan Board will give satisfaction
to the metropolis generally.
