THE MEDITERRANEAN.

MARSEILLES, Dec. 12.—The embarkation of
troops and military stores is continued with an
activity and on a more extensive scale than at any
period since the commencement of the war. The
French Government appears to be determined
to make up for lost time. The Fleurus, new
screw line of battle ship, has arrived from Toulon.
She is anchored at the islands of the Frioul, at
the opposite side of the bay, and will take 1,500
troops to the Crimea, beside a considerable quan-
tity of ammunition, which she has on board. The
mail steam packet Gange sailed yesterday for Con-
stantinople, having 400 of the 56th Regiment on
board. The splendid ship Nubia, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, likewise sailed
yesterday, taking 1,150 men, 24 horses, and 350
toes of provisions for the army in the Crimea. It
is universally admitted that the Nubia could not
have sailed for ten days later, but for the unre-
mitting exertions of Messrs. Robert Gower, the
agents of the Company, and Captain Engledue,
_their superintendent, who came specially to Mar-
seilles to inspect the embarkation. Nothing could
exceed his attention to the comforts of the troops
and his anxiety to provide them comfortable quar-
ters. The war steamer Constitution is in the port
of the Joliette, receiving troops for the Black Sea.
The weather unfortunately is unfavourable for those
operations. We have been visited with constant
storms for several days past, accompanied by tor-
rents of rain. The captain of the Cairo, from Con-
stantinople, which arrived here four days behind
her time, says that Thursday night last was the
severest night he ever passed at sea. The mail
steamer from Algiers, due here on the 7th, has not
yet arrived. Three of the sailing transports laden
with artillery horses, which cleared out from this
port 15 days since, have been forced to take re-
foge in the island of Sardinia, in a damaged state,
and a friend who arrived from Leghorn yesterday
saw others in a similar condition at the island
of Elba. The mail steamer Thabor, which ar-
rived hero on Saturday, was detained at Constan-
tinople, by the French Minister, until the let inst.,
to take despatches. The private letters received
by her, from the Crimea, of the 26th ult., state
that the position of the Allied armies had been
considerably strengthened, that new batteries had
been erected, and that the engineers only waited
a signal from the Commanders-in-Chief to re-
commence the fire with 146 guns of various sizes.
The heavy rains had somewhat distressed the
troops. The French army, which consisted of 8
divisions, would, by the reinforcements daily ex-
pected, be increased to 12. It is believed at Con-
stantinople that Marshal Baraguly d'Hilliers will
return there as ambassador ; Ahmed-Wefik-
Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador to the Court of
Persia, had arrived at Constantinople, which fact
was considered as an indication that a good
understanding continued to exist between the
two Governments. 2,200 Egyptian troops had
arrived at Constantinople, and 5,000 more
were expected. Brigadier-General Larcher had
likewise to take the command of the French
troops at Constantinople, Varna, and Galli-
poli, in place of General de rainy, who has re-
turned to the Crimea. All the European Generals
and officers attached to the army of Kars have been
recalled to Constantinople.
A private letter from Bucharest, of the 22d,
states that Omer Pacha, in reply to an order to
attack the Russians in Bessarabia, had addressed a
letter to the Minister of War, complaining that, by
the negligence of the authorities, his army is defi-
cient in shoes, winter coats, and even cartouche
boxes; neither had they received any pay.
M. Gouin, the Postmaster of Marseilles, has just
published a notice, announcing that, from the 11th
inst., the mails for Constantinople, by way of
Messina, will be despatched every Monday, at 3
p.m., and will arrive at Marseilles from Constan-
tinople every Tuesday, at 5 a.m. The mails for
Constantinople via Malta will be despatched every
Thursday, at 10 a.m., and will arrive at Marseilles
for Constantinople every Saturday, at 3 p.m.

trict. After their departure the Edinburgh sails
for Leith roads, 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 be 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 requi-

supplies. This, it is to be hoped,.

of which ample evidence could be obtained' from
the officers of the fleet which has just left this ex-

the Baltic as well as in the Black Sea, and neither
must be neglected if the war is to be carried to a
successful termination.

THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN-
STREET.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, Mr. Wok-
[ey, assisted by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed
the inquest upon the two bodies of Mr. Georg° 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
..vere adjourned to enable the jury to wait upon Lord
Palmerston, to endeavour, if possible, io prevail upon
him to allow the prisoner to be present at these proceed-
ings.

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,
deputation of the jurors sworn yesterday waited
upon Mr. Bingham, the magistrate, and told hint
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
13mile-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 man 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 see 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
roaster 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 " " 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, broke' 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 prisonerßarthelemh
whom he saw at Marlborough-street.
Mosely, painter, 9, Market-street, Fitzroy
square, said he was in the New-road on Friday night,
about a quarter before nine. lie had just turned out of
Warren-street, when ho heard the report of the first
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 hitn.
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, •
preceded by Collard, and upon getting round, saw the
man (whe 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 had
hold of him, with his arms pinioned, in a stooping posi-
tion, and ie that position he fired the pistol, and Collard
instantly fell. He then broke from witnesse's grasp, and
nano away followed by witness until he saw Maldren stop
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 on•
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 th•
prisoner being given into his custody, and also having
found the things produced.
In answer to the Cormier, Inspector Checkley 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 Wu
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 twe hats, and that
the woman had made her escape the back way in one of
the cloaks and bats. One of the hats had been found at
-the accused's lodgings at Chelsea.
After some medical evidence, Mr. Wakley asked if
airy one had ever heard the accused threaten Mr. Moore.
Inspector Checkley said no one had, and it was 01'
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, lit
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 was
also stated that no property had been taken, and there
was a total absence of any motive upon the part of the
murderer 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 mar*
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 cold
versation with Mr. Hardwick, he at once ordered the
prisoner to be remanded until Thursday next.

THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE ELECTION.—Th°,
nomination of candidates to represent the borough 01
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.

AND
COMMERCIAL IIVTELLTGE;NCE,.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, including 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 Pernam and Alaranham at
Qd., 30 Bahia at 6d. to 6d., 200 Egyptian at
50. to 7d, 500 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 40 Sea

were easier.

The steamer Croesus 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 50
expected in town on the afternoon of the 16th, or
the morning of the 17th inst. 25
