MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day,

This being the day fixed upon for the renewal and grant-
ing of new licences the magistrates sat for the purpose of
disposing of a great number of applications,
With very few exceptions the whole of the licences
granted last year were renewed,
The renewal of a licence was in one instance objected to
in consequence of applicant having permitted dancing in his
house, his licence being solely for music.
An Inspector of the H Division said the house, which was
situated in Leman-street, Whitechapel, was now conducted
in an orderly manner, and closed at proper hours. About
three weeks ago a man was stabbed after leaving the house,
and at the trial, which took place before Mr Bodkin, the
Assistant-Judge, it transpired that dancing was permitted
in the house although it was only licensed for music. Mr
Bodkin desired that the fact might be iatimated to the
magistrates when anApplication was made4or the renewal
of the license.

One of the magistrates on the bench said dancing was
carried on in the house habitually.

LONDON, THURSDAY, OUT. 6, 1864.

The condition of Ireland is a matter of such very
great importance to this country, that any details
or statistics concerning it must be received with
interest. Rumour may mislead, and political feel-
ing may either exaggerate or undervalue, the
national prosperity of the people, but the facts and
figures, which tell ns plainly what is the increase
in the number of acres under cultivation, what is
the number of the live stock, and what is the rate
cf errlgration from the different provinces, give us
same substantial groundwork for forming a fair
opinion as to the real state of the case. Accord-
ingly, the Agricultural Statistics yearly furnished
by Mr DONNELLY, the Registrar-General, and laid
before the Houses of Parliament, are very accept-
able ; and as they are now published in a thin and
concise pamphiet,* any:one who feels an interest
in the matter can consult them without trouble.
The abstract, which Mr DONNELLY gives in his
opening pages, justifies ui, he considers, in the
hope that a return to more prosperous seasons is
at hand. In some respects this hope is well
founded, although a c'eser examination of the
figures leaves much to be desired. Ode of the most
favJurable signs is the increase in the total area
uader crops in this year over last, which amounts
to 10,493 acres, and it is curious to notice that the
principal increase was in the wheat crops, while a
decided diminution in oats has taken place in every
county. Wh?ther the decrease in horses has any.
thing to do with this is not stated, but the number
of those animals, which has fluctuated between
550,000 and 630,000, during the years between
1839 and 1864, show's this year a decrease of over
18,000, while the difference between 1863 and

gealed, and the beard partly covered it. so that I could not
see the extent of the wound. He weAs constanly vomiting
dark brown acid matter, and complaining of great pain. lie
said, " For God's sake give mesomething to drink." I asked
him if he had taken vitriol, and he said, " Yes." I then
administered some remedies I thought proper. I went to the
infirmary with the eldest girl, and when I returned to the
cottage, about half-past 5, I found him worse, and asked
him when he cut his throat and the throat of his daughter
Agnes. He said he did it the night before below stairs, and
that they had been bleeding and in pain all night. I then
asked him when ho gave the children poison ? He said " I
never gave them any poison at all." He said it was the eldest
child gave it to them. I said I supposed it was by his direc-
tion, and he made no reply. He said that when he cut the
second child's throat he thought he had worked himself up to
a pitch of madness. He gradually became worse, and died
about 7 o'clock. He appeared perfectly calm, and answered
every question in a rational manner. I made a post mortem
examination of the body of Cook, and found be died from
the effect of some corrosive poison. Vitriol would exactly
produce the appearances that were found. The poison did
not interfere with his intellect even at the last moments of
his life. I have made a post mortem examination of the
body of Agnes Josephine Cook. I examined the body ex-
ternally first, and found no stains on the skin or marks of
violence. The front of the body was quite green and be-
ginning to decompose rapidly. There were livid marks over
the rest of the body, which were post mortem changes. I
examined all the organs of both cavities separately, and
found no morbid appearance in any one of them. I after-
wards opened the head ; the vessels of the membranes of the
brain were very full of dark fluid blood. The brain itself
was in a healthy state, net congested, and there was no
effusion in any of the cavities. The stomach contained
some undigested food. There was no odour of poison of
any kind in the stomach, and therefore the poison which
the father took was not administered to the child. There
was no odour of opium; the opium might have evaporated.
There was no natural cause to account for death, and from
all the attendant circumstances I am of opinion the child
died from the effects of poison. The bottles produced by
Inspector Reece smelt of opium. I should think the youngest
children were dead previons to Friday. The bodies were
wall nourished. There was an abundance of fat in each body.
I have no doubt as to the cause of death of the eldest girl,
Mary Ann, from the external appearance of her body.
Lovell was recalled, and said he found two loaves and
other provisions in Cook's house.

The Coroner briefly addrdssed the jury, who deliberated
for about a quarter of an hour, and hen returned a verdict,
" That the deceased John Richard Cook destroyed himself
and his children by poison, but that there was no satisfac-
tory evidence to show the state of his mind et the time."
The inquiry then terminated,

WESTMINSTER.

DISTRESSING CASB OF SXOPLIFTING.—Mary Anne
Reynolds and Jessie Godfrey, two very well dressed women,
said to be the wives of respectable men, and the former of
whom carried an infant, were placed at the bar charged
with stealing a shawl, value £1 ss, from the shop of Mr
Hill, 70, King's-road, Chelsea.
Mr Hill said that they came in together yesterday after-
noon, and were known as customers against whom suspi-
cions of dishonesty were entertained. Prisoners were
twenty minutes in the shop, during which time they were
watched. Thoy purchased a shawl for 18s 9d, and paid 35
of it, promising to bring the remainder. As they were about
leaving the shop prosecutor asked them if they had any
property of his about them that had not been paid for, and
they replied, " No." He asked them if they had any objec-
tion to be searched, and they also replied no, and were taken
up stairs, where a missing shawl was found.
Reynolds at this point of the case fainted in the dock,
and was carried out into the air. Restoratives having been
applied, she was again brought before the magistrate, and
exclaimed, "I am guilty. I took the shawl, but the wo-
man who was by my side knew nothing about it till it was
found."
Miss Louisa Howard, shopwoman, said she watched the
prisoners. She saw Reynolds fold the shawl up, at which
time Godfrey was at another part of the shop. When God-
frey returned Reynolds took the shawl off the coun4er.
Godfrey expressed her willingness to be searched, the other
was not willing. The shawl which had been stolen was
found under Reynolds's elother, where it seemed it had
been carefully pinned, as it took her some time to un-
fasten it.
A policeman proved that he was called to take the pri
goners into custody. When he did so Godfrey declared her

innocence.
Prieonors were remanded till Monday.

MONEY MARKET!

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The demand for money is a little quieter, the
rates tend downwards, and there is a plentiful
supply of capital at the command of bankers and
bill brokers. This improvement is mainly due to
the favourable weekly reports from the Bank of
England and France, showing a recovery is the
reserves of both establishments, and the probability
of a further steady amelioration bzing generally
admitted, traders and others find discounters more
inclined to negotiate mercantile bills, and to make
a slight relaxation in their.term3. By transacting
business at 81 and 84 per cent, as they are now
willing to do, they secure a large portion of the
Paper, which otherwise would be taken to the
Bank of England.
The Bank of England return for the past week
exhibits some vary satisfactory changes consequent
upon the recent increase in the value of money,
and shows that the authorities have been enabled
to improve the position of the establishment to a
very important degree. Subjoined are the parti-
culars :

THAMES.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING,—Herman Menus, a German,
skin-dresser, aged 38, of \o. 11, Lambeth-street, White-
chapel, was brought Mr Patti-lige charged with cutting
and wounding Timothy Bryan, an Irish 1 ,Lourer, of No.
16, Lambeth-street.
The prosecutor did not appear, and it was stated that he
either did not care about the wound as a serious one inflicted
upon la.m, or that he had been compensated by the prisoner's
countrymen. The Germans have been in the practice of
keeping prosecutors and witnesses out of the way on occasions
like the present.
It appeared from the evidence of a poliee constable of the
II division, that he was called to a disturbance in Lambeth-
street last night, and found a young man named Timothy
Bryan lying in the gutter and bleeding profusely from a
wound under the left ear. He raised Bryan from the
ground and asked him who had wounded him, to which he
replied that he was having a row with another man, and
that the prisoner, who was present, went into his own
house, brought out a knife, and cut him down the cheek.

Mr John Comley, surgeon, of 11, High-street, 'White-
chapel, said he was called upon to attend the wounded man
in the Leman-street station-house last night. There was a
wound on the left cheek by the side of the ear, an inch and
a half long. Considerable force was used. The pros.cutor
was very bad, and had a fit in the station-house, which
'asted some time. .

The prisoner in defence said that be was coming home
from his work and a lot of boys fell on him near his own
door, and the one he was supposed to have wounded struck
him two blows on the face, and followed him to his own
house, No. 11, Limbeth-street. He had two cans in his
hand, and Bryan was about to strike him again when he
raised one of the cans and struck him with it. He used no
knife whatever.
The policeman, on being recalled, said the person struck
was a lad of 19 or 20.
Mr Partridge said these cutting and wounding cases had
become so alarmingly common that the investigation must
be continued, and the prosecut )r and other witnesses sum
mooed. He remanded the prisoner, and issued the necessary
summonses for the attendance of Bryan and the others.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to
Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. ltentes were 51
quoted 65f, 95c.

o Wing to the confidence engendered by the better
aspect of the Money Market, the position of prices
at the Stock Exchange has slightly improved, but
at the present hour (2 o'clock) less buoyancy is
rerceptible, which is almost wholly attributable to
the extreme inactivity of business, Consols for

LIFE BRANC EL

The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is moat promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, sh w clearly the estimation in which the
Company is held. The following is a statement for the last
five years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1863
This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwares of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be co,.sidered as
I ar2 er than any which could hay.• been reasonably ex, ected.
The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstuips
the ratio of increase indicated by thP figures ju -t quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds Half-a-Mit ion steal=
The rate of M ortality, likewise, still presents highly f avour-
able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is conclud d.
