THE BALTIC FLEET.

KIEL, DEC. 9.
The detached squadron under the command of
Captain Watson has begun to make its appearance.
The Dragon arrived yesterday morning, and was
soon followed by the Imperieuse, between which
vessel and the Edinburgh, with Admiral Chads'
flag, the usual salutes were exchanged. The
and Rosamond only are still expected, and
they aro supposed to be close at hand.
A large portion of the squadron, consisting of
the Arrogant, Ananhion, Archer, Cruiser, &c.,
have proceeded to Elsinore, and will there receive
their orders as to their destination in England.
The Imperieuse and Euryalus proceed to Spithead ;
and the Dragon, Basilisk, Vulture, and Rosamond
go hence to •Croinarty Frith for the double pur-
pose of giving protection to the Scotch coast and
of acting as receiving-ships for volunteers from
among the sailors and hardy fishermen of that dis-
trict. After their departure the Edinburgh sails
for Leith road, so that the inhabitants of the city
from which she derives her name will, after the in-
terval of many years, again see an Admiral's flag
flying in the Frith of Forth.

Sir Charles Napier has recommended that all
surplus stores should he left under the charge of
the British Vice-Consul here, so as to be ready for
any ships that may need them at the opening
of the navigation. Something more than this,
however, will be required ; and, as you have
so well and Successfully shown the necessity of
providing adequate 'supplies for the army and
fleet in the Black Sea, it is to be hoped that you
will equally demonstrate what should in this re-
spect be done next season in the Baltic. After a
long peace there is an evident deficiency on the part
of officials in England in their knowledge of what
is wanted in the time of war, as well as of the pro-
per mode of conveying and distributing the requi-
site supplies. This, it is to be hoped,
will soon teach them, but in the meantime hintsssels,

of which ample evidence could be obtained from
the officers of the fleet which has just left this ex-
cellent anchorage. There is much to be done in
the Baltic as well as in the Black Sea, and neither
must be neglected if the war is to be carried to a I
successful termination.

THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN-

STREET.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, Mr. Wak-
ley, assisted by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed
the inquest upon the two bodies of Mr. George Moore
and Mr. Charles Collard, who were murdered, on Fri-
day evening last, by Emanuel Barthelemy. It will be
recollected that, upon the last inquiry, the proceedings
were adjourned to enable the jury to wait upon Lord.
Palmerston, to endeavour, if possible, to prevail upon
him to allow the prisoner to be present at these proceed-
ißgs.

Upon the jury having re-assembled and answered to
their names,

Mr. Linton, the foreman, stated that, acting upon the
suggestion given to them at the first meeting, a
deputation of the jurors sworn yesterday waited
upon Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, and told him
the purport of their visit, and that gentleman told them
that he had not the power to order the prisoner to be
brought up before this court. They then went to the
Howe-office, but failed in seeing either Lord Palmerston
or his private secretary, Mr. Clifford, they being en-
gaged, but they did see Mr. Waddington, who said that
his lordship would be most happy to assist them, but all
he could do was to give them a notice, that he had no
objection to the prisoner being brought up at the coro-
ner's inquest. They then waited upon Sir Rich. Mayne,
who said the only power he had was to move the pri-
soner under the orders of the committing magistrate,
and could not assist them, although he had every wish
to assist them ; but he thought the ends of justice, in
this instance, would not suffer from the absence of the
party charged at the coroner's inquest.
Mr.Wakley, having made some remarks upon the ex-
isting state of the law upon this point, said they must
endeavour to do their best without having the accused
before them. •

Charlotte Bennett, the servant, was then called, and
stated that she had been examined at Marlborough-
street Police-court upon Saturday, and there saw under
charge a raan who gave the name of Emanuel Barthelemy.
That was the man who shot my master. She then went
on to repeat the statements which have already ap-
peared, adding that she let Barthelemy in ; she did not
know whether it was a man or a woman who was with
him ; the party was dressed like a woman ; she would
not know the party, as she did not seo her face. My
master was the last of the three who came out of the
room into the passage after I heard the scuffle. My
master was pushing the man at the time the pistol was
fired. She then gave evidence of the prisoner having
shut her out, and himself and the woman into the house.
I cannot recollect her dress. She appeared about 30
years of age ; she was rather stouter than me (the wit-
ness is about the middle height). She was dressed in
dark clothing, and I think she had a straw bonnet on,
She had a " fall " over it.

Inspector Checkley here said that they should not be
misled by any misstatement which the witness might
make as they knew who the woman was.
The Inspector then produced a woman's cloak which
had been found in the parlour; it was brown cloth trimmed
with black satin ribbon, and small black satin buttons.
The pistol, broken life preserver, and other things al—
ready produced at the police-court, were here produced,
and handed round to the jury.
William Henry Madden proved the capture of the
man, and identity of that man as the prisonerßarthelemyt
whom he saw at Marlborough-street.

William Mosely, painter, 9, Market-street, Fitairoy-
square, said he was in the New-road on Friday night,
about a quarter before nine. Ho had just turned oat of
Warren-street, when he heard the report, of the fist
pistol. Saw Mr. Moore's door open, And a man and
woman come out on the steps. The woman fell against
the gate, which stopped the man from getting out, and
he went back and shut the door, bolting it after him.
The servant girl (who was the woman that came out) said
she thought her master was shot. Witness said, "Break
open the door." Collard had then come out of his shop.
The servant girl said, " Go round into the New-road, or
he will get out that way." Witness then ran round,
precede,/ by Collard, and upon getting round, saw the
man (wh• had shot Collard) grappling with him. Col-
lard said, " For God's sake, lay hold of him, as he has
got something in his hand." Witness and Collard bad
hold of him, with his arms pinioned, in a stooping posi-
tion, and in that position he fired the pistol, and Collard
instantly fell. He then broke from witnesse's grasp, and
ran away followed by witness until he saw Maldren step
him. The man ran away, again and witness continued
to follow him until a man named Coates ran across the
road, and the man was secured. That man was the one
I have seen at the Marlborough-street Police Court.
George Cope, of Grafton-street East, metal pipe
maker, proved hearing the report of the pistol, and
rushing on to a man who was running away, pursued by
the last witness, and securing him.
The police-constable Munday, 33 S, proved the
prisoner being given into his custody, and also having
found the things produced.
In answer to the Coroner, Inspector eheckley said
that they had found out the residence of the accused
at Chelsea ; but at present it would tend to frustrate
the ends of justice if more were said about it.
The inspector further added that an impression
had gone abroad that there had been another man
concerned in the murder, and that the supposed.
woman was a man-in woman's clothes. such was not
the case. He had aseertained that the accused had gone
to Mr. Moore's with two cloaks and two hats, and that
the woman bad made her escape the back way in one of
the cloaks and hats. One of the hats had been found at
the accused's lodgings at Chelsea.
After some medical evidence, Mr. Wakley asked if
any one had ever heard the accused threaten Mr. Moore.

Inspector Checkley said no one had, and it was evi-
dent that the accused and the woman had been treated
by the deceased, Mr. Moore, upon friendly
terms, as there were three glasses found upon the table
after the occurrence, and a corkscrew with the cork
upon it. The cork was stained with blood, which, in
his opinion, arose from the fact of deceased having been
struck at the moment after he had drawn the cork.
Some ginger-beer was found in one of the-glasses. It watt
also stated that no property had been taken, and there
was a total absence of any motive upon the part of the
murde'rer for this diabolical act.

The Coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the
savage character of the murder.
The Jury instantly returned a verdict of wilful mur-
der against Emanuel Barthlemy.

RE-EXAMINATION AT THE POLICE COURT.

Precisely at half-past one ,the accused was placed at
the bar of the Marlborough-straet police court, before
Mr. Hardwick and Mr. Bingham, for re-examination.
The prisoner seemed somewhat more composed.
Mr. Toxall, the superintendent, having had some con-
versation with Mr. Hardwick, he at once ordered the
prisoner to be remanded until Thursday next.

THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE ELECTION.—The
nominr.tioa of candidates to represent the borough of
Marylebone, in the place of the Lord Dudley C. Stuart,
is appointed to take place on Monday next, at 12 o'clock.
The only candidates now in the field are Viscount
Ebrington and Mr. Jacob Bell, and both appear confi-
dent of success.

men were a few days since cutting for a well at Fencott
they discovered a stratum of excellent coal, and also a
rock of superior ironstone. The latter is considered
12.10ths metal. Should such prove the case, this par

country. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster are
the fortunate owners of the property.
MONEY ORDERS.—GENERAL POST-OFFICE, Dec,, 1854.
—On an after the Ist January next the rule requiring
the payment of an additional commission for a duplicate
money order, or for a transfer from one office to an-
other, &c., will be extended to cases of alteration in
the name of the remitter or payee. The payment of the
additional commission must be invariably made by post-
age stamps transmitted with the application. The errors
which often make alterations in money orders necessary
may be avoided by the use of the printed forms of appli-
cation, which are sold at all money order offices at the
rate of five for ens halfpenny ; and by the applicant
always examining his order before quitting the issuing
office.

THE ADDRESS.—Committee appointed, "to draw up

The Doncaster Gazette mentions that a carpet bag,

MOINEY MARKET

AND
COMMIROTAL INTKiriLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, incl•adiig 500 taken for
export. The market closed with a downward ten-
dency, and prices of all kinds lean to the buyers.
The sales comprised 50 Pernara and Maranham at
6,1 d., 30 Bahia at 61d. to 601.., 200 Egyptian at
51d. 'to '7d, 500 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 40 Sea
Island at ls. Oid. to is. 3d. per lb. Railway shares
were easier.

The steamer Crcesus has arrived at Southampton
from Australia with 46,211 ounces, and 79,1421. in
gold. She left Sydney August 28, and Mel-
bourne Sept. 7, consequently her dates are about
a fortnight later. The arrival is only announced
by telegraph, consequently no papers are yet in
town.

The steamer Vectis, with• the overland mail,
reached Alexandria on the Bth inst. The mail is
expected in town on the afternoon of the 16th, or
the morning of the 17th inst.

The Funds opened this morning at about 91i
for Consols, or much the same as they left off last
evening, but they have since had an upward ten-
dency and have been done at 91i There is no
foreign intelligence to affect their value ; but the
further statements in Parliament by one or two of
the . Ministers, with respect to the Austrian
Treaty, .and some comments in a Belgian pa-
per, the Independence, in reference to the
Queen's Speech, strengthened the impression
entertained in some quarters that there is much yet
to be done before an affiance, offensive and defen-
sive, can be obtained. The business doing just
now is extremely limited, and the speculators are
apparently inclined to act with caution, although
money seems to be easier in the discount market,
and so far is favourable to the funds. The New 3
per Cents. are 91i to 91k, and the Reduced Annui-
ties 90i-to 911. Exchequer Bills are again 3s. to
6s. prem., and India Bonds 9s. prem.
Foreign Securities have been quiet, the only in-
vestment in which business has been active being
Turkish Scrip, which has realised 61 to 7 discount,
a further advance. There have been some fair
purchases by influential brokers. The Egyptian
tribute is stated to be on the way thither. Spanish
Threes have been at 38k. Peruvian Bonds haVe
been marked 69 to 70. Mexican Stock is flatter, at
21 to Nothing has been done in Dutch or
Russian Bonds.

The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds; 5i to 51 ; Mexi-
can, 21k to 21f ; Peruvian, 69 to 71 ; ditto
per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,
41 to 43 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 96 to 98 ; ditto
4 per Cents., 86 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred,
18i to 18i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 38k to 39 ; ditto

to this day are in round figures as under :

The dealings in Railway Shares are limited, but
a firmer tone is observable, and in a few instances
there is a rise of about ss. to 18s. per share. Great
Western, North-Western, Midland, and Caledonian
are most in favour. The French Shares are nomi-
nally, firm.
Mining Shares are neglected, and those of the
Banking Companies are dull. No business is re-
ported in the Miscellaneous undertakings.
