110.14UBLE MURDER OF d WIFE BY

.EJER _HUSBAND.

This morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the r eigh-
bout...mod of Artillery-lane, Bishopsgate-street, was pain-
fully excited by the report of a murder, committed by a
- ,;can named Lordon, on his wife, residing at Parliament-
L: court, Artillery-lane, which, on inquiry, Was unfortu-
nately found to be true.
The deceased and her husband (who is in custody)
were both persons of dissolute and drunken habits, and
from their constant quarrelling continually annoying
the peaceable inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The
deceased formerly kept a fruit stall at the corner of the
Ufa-.lion-house, but in consequence of the impropriety
• of her conduct had to be removed.
After tile committal of the horrid deed the prisoner
gave himself up to one of the Metropolitan policemen,

and was conveyed by him to the station-house, where
he made a statement of his guilt to Sergeant Merritt,
who was then on duty. The prisoner was detained
whilst Sergeant Merritt proceeded to the house indicated
by the prisoner, whore on entering the room occupied
by the wretched couple he found the deceased suffering
from several severe wounds in the neck. Deceased was
50 years of age. Medical assistance was immediately
sent fir, and Mr. Shaw, surgeon, of Bishopsgate-street,
promptly attended, and on examining her pronounced
her to be dead.

The police immediately took possession of the room,
and in a hurried search made by them the knife with
which the horrid deed was committed was found covered
with blood.

The murderer is the deceased's second husband. He
is a Spitalfields weaver by trade, but has latterly worked
in the docks. There are several children, but all of an
age to maintain themselves.

Rumour assigns thelause of the murder to jealousy,
the deceased having attended an Irish wake or party
last night contrary to the wish and desire of her husband.

daughter (the deceased) in the room about half-past nine
o'clock at the raffle, which was got up for her assistance,
but she received none of the money, amounting to 195.,
contributed to the raffle. Prisoner came in about ten
o'olock, before the raffia was over, three parts drunk.
His daughter afterwards came in, and he aimed a
blow at her. Witness's son interfered, and the
child left. She could not say if the deceased
was intoxicated ; she and the prisoner appeared
then comfortable towards each other ; she left them at
the beer-shop abo'it 11 o'clock. Kingstone came in with
the prisoner, and was very drunk, worse than the pri-
soner; they were not quarrelling. Kingstone is a wea-
ver, and she believed him to be a friend of the prisoner.

Police-constable 13 said that when he searched the
prisoner he saw much blood on his fingers and hand.
The prisoner, who had a downcast, stolid appearance,
declined questioning the witnesses.
The prisoner was remanded till this day week.
The inquest on the body will be held to-morrow morn-
ing, at the Court-house, Spitalfields.

TILE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SETTEMBER 18 1855.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

A Board of Admiralty is expected at„Portsmouth this
day on the annual visit of inspection. Two of the Board
landed at Portsmouth from the steam yacht Black Eagle
on Sunday evening from their trip to the western ports,
and proceeded to London: Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas
Cochrane, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief, also re-
turned to Portsmouth on Sunday evening from his tour
of inspection along the coast as far as the Channel
Islands.

We reported a few days ago that the fine two-decker
Prince Regent had been removed from the ordinary in
Portsmouth Harbour to moorings off the dockyard, pre-
paratory to being docked and adapted to a screw after
the manner of the Colossus, &c. It is now officially re-
ported that the estimates have been called for by the
Admiralty, with the view of making her a. hulk merely,
in the room of an old frigate now doing that service.
The transport Colombo, No. 110, Capt. Franklin,
arrived at Spithead last evening, at sunset, from the
East, with about 125 invalids.

The Mary Anne sailing transport, No. 42, left Spit-
head last evening for Deptford.
The Arabia steam transport, No. 95, Captain Stone,
loading ordnance stores in Portsmouth Harbour for the
Crimea, is expected to leave about Saturday next, taking
out troops and towing the Great Tasmania sailing hos-
pital ship, Capt. Crow, also with troops.
The Jackal! screw transport, C. Fricharn, master, went
down to Woolwich on Saturday from Deptford, and is
embarking huts and munitions of war for the Black Sea.
The Omar Pasha and Cosmopolite arrived likewise at the
Arsenal moorings for the like purpose and destination.
The Marley Hill, which sailed thence on Saturday, had
arrived at that point of the river called the " Bite,"
when flames were observed issuing from the hold of the
vessel. Au alarm was instantly given by the pilot,
when buckets were forwarded from the shipping office,
but before they had reached the ship the fire was ex-
tinguished, and after an hour's delay the Marley Hill
was enabled to proceed on her voyage. The fire was
fortunately confined to some, wood, which had been in-
cautiously forgotten, and left on the heated boilers.
Another batch of mortar-boats has reached Woolwich,
namely, the NOP. 1,3, 15, and 18. They are to discharge
their ordnance stores, to be stripped, and to be laid up
at Deptford like the former ones ; and when all have
arrived the total number there will be 26.

The James Holmes transport-ship, Capt. Head, from
Barbadoes, came into Woolwich on Sunday night, with
a detachment of 41 non-commissioned officers and pri-
vates, belonging to the Royal corps, under the command
of Lieut. Atchi,,on, 67th Regiment, and staff assistant-
surgeon. The James Holmes left Barbadoes on the Ist
of August, and was, consequently, 47 days at sea. She
had one case of yellow fever during her voyage, and,
with that exception, all were landed well. Tim vessel is
to be laid up at the West India Docks.
His Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon passed
through Woolwich on Sunday, having arrived there by
the 11 o'clock train, and embarked on board his yacht,
the Oriel, which lay off the Dockard, awaiting his arri-
val. She immediately afterwards got up steam and
steered fur the Downs.

The Vixen was taken out of Woolwich yesterday.
In consequence of Dr. Dartnell, the Deputy-Inspector.
General of Hospitals, having obtained leave of absence
from the General Hospital, Fort Pitt, the duty of Prin-
cipal Medical Officer devolves on First Class Staff-Sur-
geon R. Battersley ; and the under-named Acting Assis-
tant-Surgeons left Fort Pitt yesterday to embark for
service at the following stations :—Mr. Ferguson and
Mr. Short proceed to Liverpool, to embark for Canada ;
Mr. Healley proceeds to Southampton, to embark for
Jamaica ; and Mr. Le Febure and Mr. Kelly also go to
Southampton, to embark for service at Ba,rbadoes.
A party of invalids, 87 in number, of different corps,
sent home from the Crimea wounded, and otherwise
being unfit for any further military duty, were dis-
charged from the invalid depot on Saturday. 28 dis-
charged men were embarked at Gravesend on board the
Irish steamer for Dublin.

At the camp at Aldershott 19 new wooden buildings
are about being erected in a substantial manner, They
are intended for officers and staff sergeants. Three iron
buildings are also ordered for gun and forage sheds, and
many other extensive additions to the camp will shortly
be made.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.

During the past few days a large quantity of the huts
intended for the troops in the Crimea, to make up the
number ordered by the Government, have been de-
spatched. The officers hut is of nearly the same descrip-
tion as that of the men, the only difference being in the
size and internal arrangements.
The first detachment of the Army Works Corps, des-
tined for the Crimea, consisting of 200 men, which have
recently been organised by Sir J. Paxton, will in the
course of this day or to-morrow proceed upon its desti-
nation.

SECTION C.-GEOLOGY.

Mr. ROBERT ALLEN read a paper "On the present
Condition of the Geysers of Iceland."
Mr. EVAN HOPKINS read a paper "On the Gold-
bearing Districts of the World ;" and
Professor NICEIOL a paper "On the Auriferous Quartz
Districts of Australia," by Mr. J. A. Campbell, of Glas-
gow, formerly of Australia. Mr. Campbell was of
opinion that the gold fields are inexhaustible, and the
finding of gold only in its infancy. Boundless fields lie
still untouched, which will employ the labour of ages
yet to come, and when efficient machinery shall have
been brought to operate upon the rocks, there may be
then gold enough to liquidate the national debt.
Sir R. J. MURCHISON said he had been in communi-
cation with the governor of Australia, and it was un-
doubted that though the population had of late largely
increased the produce of gold had decreased. It was a
virgin country ; the gold lay in great troughs, and the
question was how long it would take to exhaust them.
It might be a quarter of a century—more or less—he
would not like to name it ; but it would he, sooner
or later, exhausted. The riches were on the surface.
When the Spaniards first visited South America, and
found the palace of Montezuma and the other princes
covered with gold, which bad been collected by the poor
people with their sticks out of thegravel of the earth, they
said, " What will come when we go down to the bowels
of the earth ;" and it must be remembered that the
Spaniards were then the best miners in the world. What
was the result ? They mined for gold—they were ruined
and a proverb gradually came into use, which said,
" he who wants to make a fortune will mine for copper;
he who wants a moderate fortune will mine for silver ;
and he who wants to ruin himself 1 A him mine for gold."
(A laugh.) There might be exceptions to this rule, but
it generally held true. In nineteen cases out of twenty,
deep mining will cost 255. for every 1/. of gold. This
was undoubtedly the case in South America. No doubt,
however, Australia would produce gold for many years,
and enable this country to found there a magnificent
empire. (Applause.)
Mr. PAGE read a paper, in continuation of his remarks
at Liverpool, " On the Subdivisions of the Palxozoic and
Metamorphic Rocks of Scotland ;" and another, " On
the Stratignphical Relations and Development of the
Freshwater or Lower Carboniferous Limestone of Dr.
Ilibbert."

J. A. CAMPBELL, Esq., Glasgow, read a paper by Mr.
Valpy, " On the Effect of the War ou the principal Ar-
ticles of Russian Produce." The paper showed that
previous to the war Russia exported her principal pro-
ductions chiefly to England, and England imported such
productions chiefly for Russia ; that since the outbreak
of war the exports of produce from Russia have dimi-
nished to a greater proportionate extent than the:gene-
ral imports of Such articles into England ; that the value
of produce in Russia cannot compensate the producer
for the decrease of exports, whilst supplies from other
countries than Russia will prevent the consumer in Eng-
land suffering from very high prices ; that the difficulties
and consequent expense of transport by land from Rus-
sia render the injuries of a blockade as necessarily very

Seldom has it fallen to the lot of a journalist to record
a more melancholy case of self-destruction, nor one
under more painful circumstances, than that which we
present to the public this day. No doubt it will be in
the recollection of the public that in July Mr. Holds-
worth, a gentleman well known and respected, and who
held an appointment in the Post-office, met his death by
being accidentally drowned whilst bathing at New
Brighton. He left a widow and five daughters—the
oldest not fifteen, the youngest under three years of age.
The shock to Mrs. Holdsvvorth was so sudden and se-
vere that her reason became affected, and she has been
quite idiotic since that time. With her children she
went to reside in the house of her brother, Mr. Knowles
(who holds an appointment in the General Post-office),
at 7, Lower Mersey-view, Bootle ; and the utmost at-
tention was paid to her by her brother and his children,
who cherished great affection for the poor unhappy lady.
Some time ago she had an attack of paralysis, and one
aide of her body was, in consequence, seriously affected,
and became quite useless. Her mental affliction in-
creased until she seemed to have lost all traces of the
world and everything about her. She remained
in this lamentable state up to Saturday morning,
when she was left alone for about two minutes, and
during this brief period she destroyed herself by
cutting her throat with a razor. It was a sad
and afflicting sight to see the poor little children
who, but a couple of months sinoe were blessed with
parents, now bereft of both, and left on the world with-
out, comparatively, any provision being made for them.
It will be remembered that at the time of Mr. Holds-
worth's death a number of merchants and other gentle-
men entered into a subscription for the deceased, lady
and the children, as there was no provision made by the
post-office. The matter was placed in the bands of Mr.
Bales, superintendent of letter-carriers, and that gentle.
man, with a degree of zeal that reflects credit on him,
prosecuted the affair, as far as his limited time would
permit, but as he could not find leisure to call on all
who were anxious to subscribe, perhaps the present me-
lancholy occasion will be taken by such gentlemen as
wish to assist the poor little orphans. We should be
glad to receive any contributions for this laudable pur-
pose. The borough coroner having been apprised of the
melancholy fact, summoned a highly respectable jury,
of which Duncan Gibb, Esq., was foreman, and pro-
ceeded to the house of Mr. Knowles, at Bootle, where
the body lay. The deceased lady had just entered on
her 40th year. The following evidence was given before
the jury. Mr. Knowlee said—l am brother of the de-
ceased Elisabeth Holdsworth. She was in a very low
desponding state since the death of her husband in July,
and had gradually become worse. Last night she ap-
peared quite unconscious of what she was doing. She
had a paralytic stroke about five weeks since, and the
use of all one side was quite gone. From the man-
ner she worked her arms last night I think she
had another stroke. I went into her bedroom at-five
o'clock in the morning to bid her good morning, as I
invariably did before leaving for the office. She did not
appear to know me. I went away at five minutes past
five, and when in town I was sent for, and on my return
saw her with her throat cut, and quite dead.
Miss Agnes Knowles, daughter of the last witness,
and niece of the deceased, was examined. She said the
deceased did not go to bed at all during the night. I
walked the room np to two o'clock with her, and my
sister relieved me for the remainder of the night. The
deceased was in a desponding state since July, and got
worse every day. Since the paralytic attack'she did not
appear to know where she was, or who were about her.
Since last Monday she was quite deranged, and fre-
quently walked the bed-room all night. .About a quar-
ter before seven I went to the door of her room again,
and found it locked on the inside. I looked through
the keyhole, and then went round and got into the room
again through the window. Deceased was lying on the
floor, quite dead. I saw two razors with blood on them
—one on the floor beside her, and one on the table.
Her throat was cut, and sho was then dead. My sister
had left her about a minute-and-a-half or two minutes,
and in that time the deceased must have committed the
rash act. The jury said they had heard quite enough
evidence, and at once found for their verdict that the
unfortunate lady was out of her mind, and that whilst
in that state she had put an end to her life.
Mr. Gibb, the foreman of the jury, asked Mr. Knowles
if there was any provision made by the post-office for
Mr. Holdsworth ? Mr. Knowles replied there was not.
Mr. Gibb—How much had he a-year ? 150/. ; but he
had not that always. Mr. Gibb—Then his poor children
must have been left quite destitute ' • for he could not
have saved anything, having to bring up his family,
and at the same time support himself in his sphere of
life, out of 1501. a-year. I wish we could make a pre-
sentinent or representation to the post-office on this
point ; but I fear we cannot. The coroner said the
people employed about the post-office were the worst
paid men on the face of the earth. He instanced a case
of a man in this neighbourhood, in Cheshire, who was
out winter and summer at half-past four in the morning,
and who did not return until 7 or 8 o'clock in the even-

Professor WILSON explained the generation of the
light, and Messrs. Dubosq and Nachet projected the
images of various natural objects upon a white screen,
