THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Royal Mail steamer Seine arrived yesterday
morning at Southampton, with 256 passengers,
1,479,996 dollars in specie and 2,350 dollars' worth
of jewellery. She left St. Thomas on the 30th
June.

The Chili government had decided on sending a
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary
to Mexico to tender his good offices to President
Juarez, with a view to the final settlement of pend-
ing difficulties between that country and European
powers.

_
Little business was doing in Peru. Exchange
was improving, and it was expected that trade
would soon revive.

At Valparaiso exchange, 90 days, was quoted 45
to 45. t.
The news from the West India Islands is unim•
portant. In Jamaica the late rains had rendered
provisions exceedingly scarce and dear. Breadstuffs
of all kinds were consequently advancing in price.
Coffee was scarce, and holders demanded 605.;
sugar, fair, 18s. ; ordinary, 14s. to 15s. Exchange
on London, 90 days, 2 per cent.

THE ASHTON- UNDER-LYNE MURDER.

Yesterday morning, at the New Bailey Police-
court, Salford, three men, named respectively John
Ward, Thos. Barlow, and Sohn Clay Johnson, were
brought up before the presiding magistrates, on re-
mand, charged with having murdered, on the 28th
June last, Police-constable Jump while in the exe-
cution of his duty. _ _

Superintendent Ludlam, of the county constabu-
lary, stated to the bench that it was not his inten-
tion to lay before them any evidence on that occa-
sion. He merely wished to ask them to further
remand the prisoners for a week. He also stated
that, with regard to the murder, he was now in
possession of all the facts connected therewith,
through a full confession which had been made by
some of the men in custody. By that confession
the two prisoners then before the bench (Ward and
Barlow) were directly implicated with the murder,
while Johnson (the third prisoner) was shown by
the same confession, to have harboured Ward and
Barlow, with a guilty knowledge of the murder.
All the necessary evidence against the three pri-
soners would be forthcoming next Monday.
Under these circumstances the prisoners were re-
manded for a week.

The prisoner Johnson asked, on the ground that
he was not directly implicated in the murder, to be
allowed to have bail, but the application was re-
fused.

The inducement to the men who have confessed
has doubtless been the £2OO reward, with a promise
of her Majesty's free pardon if the parties confess-
ing were not directly guilty of the murder.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREEf.

ROBBING A GENTLEMAN.—Three men, named Seaman'
Hart, and Sullivan, were charged with stealing
a watch
the property of Mr. Greatrex.

The prosecutor said he was at present on a visit to Lon-
don, his residence being at Chatham. At two o'clock this
morning, in consequence of finding the hotel at which he
was stopping closed, he went into the Nag's Head public-
house to get a glass of ale. While he was at the bar Sea-
man managed to get his (prosecutor's) watch out of his
pocket and to pass it to one of his companions. He collared
Seaman, and the other two men began to hustle Win'
Eventually the whole three were secured, and then the
watch was found on the floor at the feet of one of them.

This evidence having been confirmed, the prisoners were
asked what they had to say in answer to the charge.
Hart and Sullivan, in a confident off-hand sort of manner,
said they were not guilty of the charge.
The magistrate said he should send all three prisoners
for trial.

Hart and Sullivan,when they heard this, said ' Very well,
we will go to trial." At this remark Seaman turned round
and gave his companions a surprised sort of look, when
they instantly became as silent as they had before been
noisy.

seaman then said—Your worship, I prefer, as I find
.1,
have the option of doing, pleading guilty to the charge. I
have, no wish in the world to give you the trouble of conr
mitting me for trial.

Hart and Sullivan were then asked if they wished to re-
tract the denial of the robbery, and pleaded guilty, but
neither of them said a word, both nodded assent.
The magistrate then sentenced each to six months' ivi"
prisonment with hard labour.
