THE MURDERER MULLER.

After the body of Muller was cut down this morning and
taken inside the prison, Dr. Donovan, of 111, Strand, a
well known phrenologist, was permitted by the prison
authorities to take a cast of his head. He has prepared an
elaborate report of the phrenological developments
of the head, which we shall publish at length in 214 Sun
of to-morrow.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Very little change took place in the value cf wheat in the
country markets held on Saturday. On the whole, the
trade was steady, and a fair consumptive business was
transacted. Good and fine barley and oats sold steadily, at
full quotations ; but for other articlos the- trade was slow,
on former terms.

On the continent the corn trade generally is without ma-
terial improvement ; in prices, however, scarcely any
alteration has occurred. Advices from New York state that
the export demand for wheat and fhur continues much re-
restricted.

But moderate supplies of English 'grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 21,855 quarters of wheat, 36,793 oats, 20 bean,
1,480 pear, 55 tares, 2,305 linseed, 4,305 rapeseed, 2,820
maize, 179 sundry seeds, and 240 sacks of flour.
Compared with Monday last there was a slight increase
in the fr, ah arrivals of home-grown wheat to our market
this morning, and the total qumtity exhibited for sale
during the day was moderately large. The trade was less
active than on Monday last. Good and fine dry produce
was sold at late rates. Inferior and damp parcels, how-
ever, changed hands at a reduction of is per qr, or were left
unsold at the close of business.

The market was moderately supplied with barley. Good
and fine malting qualities were in request, at extreme rates.
Floating cargoes of grain moved oft slowly, at previous
•
quotations.

There was a good supply of foreign wheat on the stands
The trade, generally speaking, was quiet, yet no quotable
change took place in prices from Monday last.
The supply of oats was extensive, tut the trade was dull.

TAY BRIDGE AND DUNDEE UNION.

It is proposed to construct a high-level bridge across the
estuary of the Tay, between the coasts of Fife and Forfar, a
little above the harbour of Dundee ; and by the construc-
tion of a line connecting the Fife end of the bridge Dundee
would be brought into direct communication with the North
British Railway at Ferry Purt-m-Craig. The second p- r-
tion of the scheme would coenect the high-level bridge with
the several existing railways in Dundee, and provide for a
general passenger station, with approaches from the east,
west, and north of the town. By the above project the town
of Dundee would be placed upon a main line from England
to the north of Scotland, instead of being served by branches.
The direct railway communication north and south would
be completed by the construction of the projected high-
level bridge across the Forth, which, it appears, has the
support of the North British and Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway Companies.
London, England, 1864-11-14

FURTHER AND LATEST PARTICULARS

-
On Saturday morning Mr Superintendent Howie, of the
K division, and the other officers engaged in the case made
further inquiry, and have discovered the name of the pawn-
broker who received the deceased's clothes after the murder,
and the garments will be produced at the adjourned inquest
on Thursday evening next.
A number of constables proceeded to the reed field and
made further search, bat nothing additional could be found.
Sergeant Clarke, of the detective force, when he found the
chopper which was producsed before the Ilford magistrates,
discovered that a new handle had been recently placed in

the iron part, and the wooden handle found in the teed field
by Sergeant Bt idgland, 60 K, on Thursday, was the original
one, which has since been identified by Mrs Warren, the
landlady. The police have also ascertained the place where
the red paint was purchased, and from information given
to tb.e officers late on Saturday evening, evidence will be
adduced to show that the prisoner pledged the missing
clothes of the deceased, and some articles of jewellery
belonging to the deceased. The key belonging to the de-
ceased's boxes has been discovered by Sergeant Clarke, and
the duplicates have likewise been found.
Yesterday (Sunday) morning several thousand persons
visited the scene of the murder, and a considerable number
proceed from the metropolis in carts and other vehicles to
the river side, where the police were engaged in searching.
the mud and bank of the Thames at low water. The traffic
through the field was so great yesterday that the lofty reeds
were trodden down and hundreds carried away by the per-
, sons visiting the place. _ . .

A great number of persons visited the Bell and Anchor

Tavern yesterday and made application to see the body of
the murdered man, but Mr Joyce, the landlord, refused, as
the police had given strict orders for the body to be kept
locked up. After the completion of the post-mortem exa-

mination on Friday evening the stomach and intestines
were sealed up for analysis by order of the coroner (Mr C.
C. Lewis). The clothes worn by the deceased and the
accused (Kohl) have been forwarded to Dr Letheby, the
professor of chemistry of the London Hospital, who has been
instructed to analyse the marks and stains.
At the conclusion of the examination of the prisoner on
Saturday afternoon, at the Sessions house, Ilford, the pri-
soner asked permission to see his wife, which was granted
by the chairman of the bench of magistrates. He was re-
moved from the dock by Inspector Nightingale into one of
the rooms of the gaol, where his wife was introduced to
him. The meeting was a very brief one, and, after a few
minutes' conversation, he shook hands and parted with
her in tears. It was stated that the prisoner desired several
witnesses to be summoned by the police for the defence, and
he gave instructions for the engagement of a solicitor.
On Saturday morning several artists were engaged in
making sketches of the road, field, and adjacent parts by
the side of the Thames.

TAY BRIDGE AND DUNDEE UNION.

It is proposed to construct a high-level bridge across the

INDIAN TRAMWAY.

The report of the directors states that there can be but one
feeling, of regret, that the exertions of the directors, the
co.operation of the shareholders, and the support of the local
governments of India, which, if uninterrupted, would have
secured the early completion of a light railway in each of the
presidencies, should have been neutralised by the recent
determination of the Secretary of State, in opposition to the
earnest recommendation of the local authorities, that the,
varying characteristics of the several lines in India should
be ignored, that one uniform rule should be applied to all,
and that the precise terms accorded to the Branch Railway
Company should not be departed from under any circura.
stances. The shareholders, under the advice of the board,
at once declined to undertake any new work until the result
of the Arconum line in Madras should furnish authentic
data for their guidance, and decided to limit the capital o
the company to ZlOO,OOO, and their operations to this single
line. The board have therefore directed their endeavours to
the early completion and substantial construction of the line,
connecting Arnouum on the Madras Railway with Conje-
veram, about 17 miles, and expect its opening on an early
date. The sanction to commence was only obtained by
the chairman in January last, and engines were running
on a portion of the lineiin:August. The bridges for the
rivers Cortilear and Pulloor were despatched in Juno, and
the masonry will be ready by the time they arrive. The cost
of these bridges will be reimbursed by the Madras Govern-
ment, who, with their officers, have afforded every facility
and rendered all the assistance in their power to promote
the undertaking. The report of the engineers. Sir C. Fox
and Mr G. Berkley, states that the earthworks are com-
pleted for a length of 12 miles from Arconum junction, and
the permanent way laid for a length of six miles, upon which
two of the company's locomotives are daily engaged in
ballasting. A temporary staging has been erected across the
Cortilear river, pending the completion of the permanent
bridge. Granite of excellent quality is being used for this
and other works, which will be of a thoroughly substantial
character. The works at the Arconum junction station and
at Pulloor are also in a forward state. 500 coolies are em-
ployed upon the line. From a statement of the probable
traffic on festival days, it was thought advisable to recom-
mend that a fourth locomotive and some ironworks for
waggons available for third-class passengers should be sent
out as soon as possible. The capital account to the 30th of
September shows that £57,483 had been received and
£47,526 expended, leaving a balance of £9,957.
London, England, 1864-08-31

CENTRAL WALES.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held in
Shrewsbury on Mondoy—Sir C. R. Boughton in the chair.
Tho report stated that the works of the railway have been
so far completed as to admit of the permanent way being
used continuously from Knighton for a distance of 17 miles,
and the other portions of the works were in a forward state,
and the line would be ready for traffic early in October. Thb
amalgamation of the company with the Knighton, on the
opening of the Central Wales Extension line to Llandovey,
was sealed by this company and the Central Wales Com-
pany on July 4. The directors expected that the through
traffic would prove of considerable advantage to the amal-
gamated companies.
In moving the adoption of the report,

The CHAIRMAN said it was a matter of great satisfaction
to the directors to be able to give so favourable an account
of the progress of the works. A short time ago the direc-
tors themselves went over the lino as far as Llandrindod,
and were well satisfied with the substantial character of
the works. He thought the amalgamation would be bene-
ficial to the company. He had only to add that every pos-
sible exertion was being made to forward the completion of
the works, and they were looking forward very hopefully
to the success that would attend their opening.
Mr G. PRICE, M.P., seconded the motion, and it was
agreed to unanimously.

MONEY -MARKET

AND
COBIMENCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCX:

Notwithstanding the good supply of money on
offer in the general discount market, the rates for
short-dated paper continue at 7 and 71 per cent.
The demand for accommodation to-day has been of
a moderate character, but the brokers, who do not
believe in cheaper money, appear indisposed to
enter largely into long transactions.
In the Foreign Exchange yesterday afternoon
there was no material alteration.
There were no bullion movements at the Bank
yesterday.
At a meeting of creditors to-day of Messrs.
Ford, Curtis, and Curtis, ship-provision merchants,
a conimitee was appointed to investigate the ac•
counts, and to report to an adjourned meeting, to
be held on the 6th of September, as to the best
course to be adopted for realising the estate.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Woodward
and Podmore will be held on Thursday next.
The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit-
tance of £5ll on account of the dividends on the
debt of Ecuador.
An instalment of £3 per share is payable on

A very unfavourable feeling still prevails in the
English Stock Market, and the Funds are now at
an exceedingly low price, Consols for money being
881, and for the account 88! I. There appears to
be no valid reason why. English Government secu-
rities should be at such reduced figures. Political
relations are satisfactory, and there is nothing to
fear from monetary prospects. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 87t 88 ; the Annuities,

KENT COAST.

The half-yearly sleeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Victoia Station, Pimlico—Sir C. P. Roney
in the chair.

Mr JOHNSON, t' secretary, read the report.

The CHAnt3fAN:in moving its adoption, expressed the
gratification of the lirectors at seeing the chairman of the
company, Mr C. J Hilton, once more among them in im-
proved health. Tie works, for the carrying out of which
powers were obtairid last session to raise additional capital,
were all progressin; rapidly. The directors had to congra-
tulate the proprietes upon the largo traffic receipts of the
company. The eanings had been still more satisfactory
since the commemement of the current half-year, and
amounted to £l4; 12e per mile per week, and he believed it
would be difficut for any railway in the empire to show
such a return inits first year. Yet this return was one that
the company raiOat fully expect to be exceeded. The goods
traffic was almost entirely undeveloped, and when the sta.
tiou of the Loidon, Chatham, and Dover Company at
Blackfriars was finished, and the connexion formed with
the Great Northirn and other railways north of the Thames
an important accession of goods traffic would be brought to
the company's Ines. The traffic at present was satisfactory
in various ways,aiad in none more than at the present time
the company was earning enough not only to pay its ex-
penses, the inteiest on its debentures, a dividend on the B
shares and a divdend on the A shares, but to have a surplus
every week of £',oo. The places where the company's rail-
ways ran were paces of public resort, and as the winter ap-
proached a falling off in this high traffic might be looked
for, but as therewould be a large margin from the surplus
there need not le any fear as to the company having ample
funds after paybg the expenses, not only to pay the deben-
tures and the E shares, but to provide a good sum for the A
shares. The dividend, it win believed, would be little under
6 per cent. Sitce the lastmeeting a new oyster company
had been estabished, and if that company should be suc-
cessful, it coulO not fail to prove an important source of
revenue to the company. He explained the advantages
which the comiany offeret to visitors going to and from
Ramsgate.
Mr. HILTON seconded tLe motion for the adoption of the
report, which vas carried non. con.
g A vote of thinks to the chairman and directors concluded
the proceedings.

ran into the third place, and at the same time King Cotton

LAUNCESTON AND SOUTH DEVON.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Launceston on Friday—Mr Derry in the chair.
The report stated that the directors expected that at the
next half-yearly meeting they would be able to announce the
completion of the undertaking. The purchase of land had
on the whole proceeded satisfactorily. and a large number of
contracts had been completed. The opposition of the com-
pany to the proposed Launceston, Bodmin, and Wadebridge
Railway was the means of securing provisions in the bill
which the directors believed would be found materially be-
neficial to the shareholders. The capital account showed
the total receipts had been £95,139, anl the expenses
£91,519, leaving a balance of £3,620.
Tho report was adopted without discussion, and the pro-
ceedings terminated.

KNIGHTON.
The half yearly meeting was held at Shrewsbury on Mon-
day—Sir C, R. Boughton in the chair.
The report stated that the traffic over the line cf railway
for the half year ending the 30th of June last would enable 1
them to recommend that a dividend of £5 per cent. per
annum for 1:;.a half year be paid, less income tax, on Mon-
day, Sept. 19. The permanent way on the line was in a good
state of repair. The agreement for the amalgamation of the
company with the Central Wales, on the opening of the
Central Wales Extension line to Llando- Central Wales
Company at the special general meeting of the shareholders
of both companies, held on July 4; and when the amalga-
mation came into operation the directors confidently ex-
pected that the through working of traffic opened out by
the southern outlets would prove of considerable and per-
manent advantage to the amalgamated companies. The
works of construction of the Central Wales Extension line
from Llandrindod to Llanndovery wore actively progressing.
In moving the adoption of the report, the CHAIRMAN said
the line was being very satisfactorily worked by the North
Western Railway Company, and though only partially
opened, the shareholders would have a dividend of 5 per
cent, per annum for the half year.
The motion waa carried unanimously.

BRISTOL AND PORTISHEAD.

The report states that the works of the railway were now
In course of vigorous prJsccution. The purchases of the
whole of the land, with the exception of a few acres not
immediately wanted, had been arranged, and possession
transferred to the contractor of all required for the works
between the junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway
and the level country some distance below Pill. These pur-
chases had been made generally on satisfactory terms. The
tender of Mr W. Tredwell for the construction of the whole
line had been accepted. Arrangements had been made for
the early completion of the portion of the line which con-
nected the Bristol and Exeter Railway with the intended
station at Rownham. The accounts showed an expendi-
ture up to the 30th of June of .33,702, and the receipt of

DARTMOUTH AND TORBAY,
Tho halt-ye,irly meeting of this company was hold at
Dartmouth on Monday; Mr C. S. Rayne in the chair.
Tho report stated that the line to Kingswear had been
opened on the 6th inst, and the works necessary to accom-
modate the goods traffic were proceeding as speedily as pos-
sible. The Harbour Commissions w ere about to construct
(Plays and a deep-water pier in connexion with th© railway.
The net earnings of the line had bee. a XlOO in excess of the

Railway and Other Companies,

SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TUNBRIDGE,
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at the Victoria Station, Pimlico—Mr G. F. Holroyd
in the chair.

The report was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said that he thought the general prospects of the lino were
very satisfactory, as, although this was the worst half of the
year, embracing only two of the summer months when the
traffic was the greatest, the increase in the receipts had been
very considerable, and since the accounts had been made up
the traffic had increased is still greater preportion. There-
fore there was every reason to expect that their next report
would be still more satisfactory. (Hear.) He was happy
to state that an arrangement had been made with the London,
Chatham, and Dover Company for the construction of a line
between Maidstone and Sevenoaks, which would bring a
large amount of traffic over the line, without having to pay
anything for it, and at the same time the arrangements of
this company with the London, Chatham, and Dover would
stand as they were at present. He had to regret the retire-
ment of their noble chairman. When Earl Amherst ori-
ginally took the cha:r he stated that he did so temporarily,
until the line was completed, as he did not wish to be the
permanent chairmat of the company. At the solicitation of
the directors from tine to time he had been induced to retain
that office, but now 10 felt that the time had arrived when
he should resign. 'That must be a matter of regret to them
all. In conclusion, :he chairman moved the adoption of the
report and statemen, of accounts.
Mr C. J. HivroNseconded the motion, which was carried
unanimously, and z vote of thanks to the chairman and
directors concluded the proceedings.
