Comparatively specking, the supplies ef meat on sale
in these markets since Monday last have been tolerably
good, and of full average quality. The arrivals from
the country have been trifling; but about 800 carcases
of for,:ign meat have tern on offer. For all descriptions
the demand has ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monday last.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign Po-
tatoes have been very small, viz., 115 sacks from Calais;
147 sacks from Havre; 9 tons from Leer; 25 bags from
Rotterdam; and 33 bags from Caen. The supplies of
English Potatoes have increased to a considerable ex-
tent, owing to which, and their excellent quality, the
demand has ruled excessively heavy, at further depressed
rates. Shaves may now be had at Si 103 to 41; and
Regent's, 41 to 4115 s per ton. These are the only
sorts worth quoting at present. Foreign Potatoes may
be purchased at 31 5s to 3/ 12s per ton. We under-
stand that large supplies will arrive hither both from
France, Belgium, and Holland, on their becoming ripe.

ZOR,OUGU 11OP in.rozzczT.
The few new Hops on sale here have found buyers,
at from 9/ to 1115 s per cwt. The accounts from the
plantations are still unfavourable: Fine Yearlings—the
supply of which is but moderate—move off steadily, at
full prices. In all other kinds exceedingly little business
is doing. The duty is called 70,0001 to 75,0001, with
very little disposition to speculate. Yearlings—Sussex
pockets, 3/ 12s to 41 12s; Weald of Kent ditto, 31 lOs
to 41 12s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 31 lOs to 71 7s
per cwt. _ _ _

WOOL.
The total imports of Wool into London last week were
confined to 440 bales from ilamburgh, 43 ditto from
Antwerp, and 15 ditto from Amsterdam. Increased
supplies of both English and Colonial Wool are on offer
iu the private contract market, yet the demand for most
descriptions is firm at very full prices. The accounts
from the manufacturing districts are still favourable. A
steady business appears to be doing in winter good 3,
both for home consumption and export.

TALLOW.
Since this day se'nnight the demand for all kinds of
Tallow has been in a very inactive state, and prices have
given way quite 31 per cwt. To-day fine P.Y.C. on the
flaot, is selling at 395, and inferior qualities 388 to 38s 6d
per cwt. For forward delivery, we have sellers at
38s 3d to 38s 61 per cwt. Town Tallow, 37s to 37s 6d

just at hand from St. Petersburgh state that a good busi-

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
(THIS DAY.)

ADJOURNED INQUEST.
The jury empannelled to inquire into the death of Mr.
.

Patrick O'Connor, whose brutal murder continues still
to be the prevailing topic of conversation, assembled for
the third time this morning, at eleven o'clock, at the

Leather-Market Tavern, Bermondsey.
The coffee-room in which the inquest was held was
crowded with visitors.

some letters and papers, and a paper writing purporting
to be " the last will and testament of Frederick George
Manning, attested by Henry Poole and Robert Smen,J.
(Poole is the. person who is now undergoing 15 years'
transportation for robbing the Exeter mail on the Great
Western Railway). There were several letters addressed
" Madame Manning." I have inspected a portion of the
female wearing apparel. On several articles of that
kind in each box there is the name of Maria De Roux,
and on others M. and F. Manning. One table-cloth is
marked "M. and F. Manning, White Hart Hotel,
Taunton." There were some shirts with F. G. M.
upon them. There are two or three articles of female
apparel with different initials. There are none with P. C.
upon them. There are several silver spoons with the
names upon them erased. In the small box I found the
skirt and body of a dress ; in the internal lining, close to
that part where it has been separated from the body,
there are several marks of blood. The body appears to
have been very recently washed. There are also two
small toilet covers, with lace edges, and a piece of
muslin with marks of blood upon them. (Each of these
articles were produced and shown to the jury. They all
had numerous small and brown-looking splashes,
evidently that of blood.)
The witness Massey, who was examined on Friday,
said ho was certain he had never seen the silver spoons
before. He had seen the toilet covers before, and said
they used to be placed on the end of the sofa.
(The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.)

William Sopp, 162 M division, examined—said, on
Wednesday, the 22d of this month, I was instructed by
Inspector Yates to go to No. 14, Bermondsey-square,
which is kept by Mr. Bainbridge. I knocked and in-

quired if he was at home; they were at dinner at the

time, and I waited a few minutes, when Mrs. Bainbridge
came to me. In consequence of some questions which
I put she produced an iron shovel. I now produce it.
(The witness here produced a common iron dust shovel,

painted black, with holes in it.) I observed on the

shovel some marks of mortar. I inspected it
further, and found something like the appearance
of blood, ashes, and human hair. I called Mrs. Bain-
bridge's attention to it ; I asked her if she had noticed
it before. I asked her if she had used the shovel, and
she said that some one had been shovelling up some
ashes with it. I told her I should take charge of it. It
is now exactly in the same state that it was when I got
it.—(A very small particle of clotted dirt was attached
to it, in which could be observed two or three hairs, but
nothing more.)
The man Bainbridge, who purchased tho articles of
furniture from Manning, was called, but although he had
been served with a summons, he was not in attendance.

Superintendent Burton said he saw him yesterday,
when he promised to attend.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LivEarooL, SUNDAY.—The North American mail-
steamer Cambria, Captain Shannon, arrived this
evening at seven o'clock, with advices from Boston to
the 15th, and Halifax to the 17th inst.
The America arrived at New York on the 9th
iost., and the Hibernia at Boston on the 15th. The
former in twelve days and the latter in eleven days
from Liverpool. The Great Western arrived at New
York on the 11th, from St. Thomas and Bermuda,
and cleared the t•aine day. She had 1,328,060 dollars
in silver and gold on freight for England.
Thy Canadian advices present no features of in-
terest. Rumours were prevalent of the resignation
of Lord Elgin.

FALL OF lIUNGARY.
Ye brave Hungarians! we sympathise,
In heartfelt sorrow, with ye on your fall,
Albeit no prelude to your country's pall;
Well may we mark ye now with streaming eyes,
Condemned to utter unavailing sighs—
Compelled to drink of wormwood and of gall!
May Liberty, blest goddess ! shield ye all,
Still sacred guard the treasure most ye prize,
Sublime deposit! worthy of her care—
Whence shall each tributary virtue flow,
Till your bold land regeneration know,
Ensuring thence bright Independence there!
Subdued awhile—yet, honour void of stain—
Say—Shall Kossuth's spirit breathe in vain?
Greenwich, Aug. 22, 1849.

past three, or twenty minutes before foury in the after-
noon, a female came to me in Joiner-street, Tooley-
street. She requested me to go to No. 3, Minver-place,
New Weston-street. She opened the door and got into
the cab and rode to Westin-street. I stopped, she got
out, and told me that she had some boxes to move with
the cab. I went up stairs and she assisted me down
with two boxes. With assistance I got them up outside.
I saw no one else except herself there. The assistance
to get up the boxes outside the cab was from a man
passing by. Before the second one was removed we
tried to luck it up...stairs, but could not; both I and the
female tried. She said " Never mind, we shall be too
late for the train." Ono of the boxes was secured by a
lock, but the other was not. We removed a third box,
which was put inside ; it was from down
stairs • I mean the ground floor; she brought it
up and put it down in the passage. I took it from her
and placed it in the cab, as I stated before. She next
brought a carpet bag. I did not see where it was
brought from; she gave it to me in the passage. I do
not know whether I should know it again. I cannot re-

TO TUE BRAVE HUNGARIANS.
Heroes! your blood hath not been spilt in vain,
Ah, not in vain undaunted hearts have poured
Their rich libation at the shrine adored
Of blest immortal freedom's holy fano,
With toil, exertion, sacrifice, and pain!

Thus " sown in sorrow," soon the " harvest's lord "
Shall come, rejoicing with his " sheaves " again.
Fair Liberty, a plant that never dies,
Amid the wailing of the storm around
Its oak•like roots more firm enfixt in ground,
Still in its grandeur tow'ring to the skies!
Britannia's voice be well regarded true,
Soothing by precept, and example too!

Cholera \vas rapidly on the decrease.
The Halifax bank was robbed of a large amount of
treasure on the 10th inst. The robber was supposed
to have arrived in England by the Europa, which
sailed the following morning.
President Taylor, in a proclamation dated the 11th
inst., says that there is reason to believe that an armed
expedition is fitting out in the United States with an
intention to invade Cuba or some of the provinces of
Mexico ' • that the best information which the Execu-
tive has been able to ascertain points to the island of
Cuba as the object of this expedition ; that it is the
duty of the Government to observe the faith of
treaties, and to prevent any aggression by these citi-
zens upon the territories of friendly nations. He
therefore warns persons from entering into this
project.
This expedition is said. to be preparing in New
York and other cities of the union.
President Taylor, while on a tour through the
northern states, was attacked by severe diarrhoea,
and, by the latest accounts, remained very unwell.
The cholera epidemic was on the decline at New
York. The cases for the week ending 12th inst.
were 609 ; deaths, 283.
By way of Chagres the Empire City brings a
fortnight's later accounts from California.
Affairs in the territory were, in a commercial point
of view, rather disastrous to the shippers of goods.
There had been a large number of arrivals, and
the markets had been overstocked with all kinds of
merchandise.

It was represented that goods could be purchased
to ship back to New York to pay a profit in that
market. The political condition of the territory was
a little more settled. A proclamation of General
Riley, United States officer, advises the people of
California that they need not expect to be tolerated
in any effort to establish an independent government ;
that he has orders from the Administration to have

elections held to send delegates to a convention to
draught a State Constitution, and that he was de-
termined to carry out the wishes of the Government
at Washington.
Our letters state that the people, with a few ex-
ceptions, seem disposed to acquiesce in this move-
ment. The Convention was to meet on the Ist of
September. The accounts from the mines are con-
fused and conflicting. There was plenty of gold
there, but the labour necessary to obtain it intimi-
dated those who were unused to much physical effort.
The steam-ship Oregon had arrived at Panama with
specie amounting to upwards of 600,000 dollars. We
have Jamaica accounts to the 7th instant. The sugar
canes on the island looked exceedingly healthy. The
favourable accounts from England had produced ad-
vanced rates for sugars, and had given a stimulus to
business. On the 19th ult. Barbadoes was compara-
tively healthy and fine. Intelligence from Maracaibin
to the 19th ult. describes Venezuela as being in a
state of revolution. _

collect the colour of it. There were besides some other
things, a coat, a parcel or two, and perhaps a shawl or
so. They were all put inside. She then came out,
closed the door, and directed me to drive to the Brighton
station, London-bridge. When we got as far as St.
Thomas's-strut she ordered me to stop at some sta-
tioner's, as she wanted some cards. I pulled up at Mr.
Ash's and she went into the shop. Whi:e she was in I
fastened the unlocked box with a piece of rope which
was inside. She directed me to do this. She then
came out and returned into the cab, and I drove her to
the station. When I arrived there she ordered me to
take down the two boxes which were outside. They
were taken down by two porters. I saw her pull from
her pocket two directions and asked the porter to nail
them on. There was a small pirce of iron lying close
by; he used it for a hammer to nail the cards on. Up
to that there was no direction on either of these boxes.
I did not see the direction. I heard her say that one
was not locked, and the porter tried to fasten it. The
two boxes were then put on a truck, and she followed
them into the station. She afterwards came back and
ordered me to the Euston station. She alighted there, and
the remaining luggage was taken away from the cab. I
heard a porter ask her " Where for?" "Edinburgh,"
said she, and ho then stated that the next train was
at half-past seven. From the time she first came to me
in Joiner-street till I got to Euston station I had good
opportunities of seeing her,
By the CORONER—How did she speak when she gave
you the directions? Witness—She appeared to be a
countrywoman.

-
Con°Nza—What do you mean by a countrywoman?
Witness—Like a person who comes from Essex or
Sussex. She did not speak proper English.—(Laughter.)
I think I should know her again if I saw her. I re-
ceived my fare in silver—a half-crown, a shilling, and
sixpence.

General Paez landed in Coro from Curacoa about
the Ist, when the whole of that province at once
declared in his favour. There had been some
fighting, in which the Government troops were de-
feated.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW Yong, AUGUST 14.—1 n the absence of all spe-
culative demand, the stock-market is heavy.
Government Securities and State Stocks maintain
their position during the last few days, although the
eemand for European investments appears to have ceased
for the present.
But the non-dividend paying stocks are now rather
pressing on the market, and rates for some time past
have had a downward tendency. At the close of busi-
ness today, however, there appeared to be a slight re-
action, and more business was exhibited.
Money continues to be abundant for all business pur-
poses. Loans on call are made at 4to 5 per cent. per
annum, and discounts of good paper are readily effected
at 6to 7 per cent. There has been a fair demand for
sterling exchange for the Cambria at 109 to The bulk
of the business, however, has been at 1091. Francs, ton,
have been in gocd demand, with sales at 5.20 to 231
short sight, and 5, 25 to 271, 60 days.
Cotton—To day the transactions reported on change
were 2,000 bales, establishing an advance on our quota-
tions per lust steamer of half a cent. on good ordinary
and middling fair qualities. Our quotations are nearly
half a dollar above those Liverpool received per
America, but they aro by no means extravagant in view
of the facts here developed relative to the growing crop
subsequent to the date of the last advices received in
England from the United States. Inferior New Orleans
8i; ordinary ditto, 84; good middling ditto, 21.; fair
ditto, 11; fully fair, 11.
Flour—The market is still on the advance, and good
brands are firmly held at our quotations. Since the
sailing of the last steamer there has been much
buoyancy, and with light supplies and a good eastern and
home trade; and the advance may be quoted at 25 c.
to 374 c. per barrel. The export demand is light.
Grain—Wheat of good qualities is wanted. White
Genesee is held at 1 doll. 36c. The last sales were at
1 doll. 22c to 263. ; good Ohio sells at 1 doll. 10c. to
1 doll, 15c. ; rye is of moderate sale at 58} cents. to
59i cents. ; corn is in light supply and good demand,
with sales of round yellow at 63 cents. to 63i cents. ;
white, 63 cants. LO 64 mita. ; and mixed western, 61
cents. to 64 cents. Oats are held at 43 cents. to 44
cents.
Freight—The rates of freight are to Liverpool for
cotton, id. per lb. ; flour ls. 3d. per barrel ; grain in
3id. to 4d. per bushel ; for corn and wheat respec-
tively, to London; le. 6d. per barrel ; for flour and other
articles in proportion. To Havre, cotton, ics. per lb.

the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Company,
at the London-bridge station. A lady came
to the station between three and four on the
13th of August. I recollect the circumstance; she came
in a cab. I opened the cab door and asked her where
she was for. She told me she wanted to leave her boxes
in the cloak-room. She alluded to two boxes outside the
cab. With the assistance of a policeman I took them
both down. She asked me to nail two addresses on them,
and she took some small nails out of her pocket. I took
the nails out of her hand and put a card on each box.
To the best of my knowledge the address on the cards
was" Mrs. Smith, passenger, for Paris." I did not notice
whether there was any thing else on the address. She
then pulled
,a bunch of keys out of her
pocket, and said that the box which had
a cord round it would not lock. There was no
rope round the other box, and it appeared to be locked.
I tried to lock the box but could not. They were then
both taken in and placed in the cloak-room. She paid
4d. for placing them there. Altogether I saw her about
ten minutes.
The CORONER—How did she speak ? Witness—
Cheerful.
The CORONER—From her language what sort of a
person did you take her to be ? Witness—Not a

a crowd of persons. I have not seen the boxes. Alter

of information I received I sent for the witness,
Kirk (the cabman), and from information I got from
him I went to the London-bridge station on Tues
day, the 21st August, and I there took possession
of two large boxes. They had each a card with the
following writing upon it:—" Mrs, Smith, passenger
to Paris, to he left till called fur." I searched those
boxes, and they contained principally wearing
apparel. I have a list of the articles. The
small box contained principally female wearing apparel,
and the large box table-cloths, sheets, candlesticks, tea-
pots, coffee-pot, spoons, punch-ladle, lady's workbox,

TILE SUN, LON_DON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST '27,

IRELAND

THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, M.P.
LETTER I.

My Lord,—The session having now terminated, it
occurs to me that it would be beneficial to examine
the various measures which have been proposed for
the relief of the Irish people, not only by the Govern-
ment, but by other parties—an useful task if con-
ducted with fairness on any subject, and particularly
on this, not only on account of its vital importance,
but in consequence of the singular division of parties,
which has literally prevented that wise discussion
which is essential to the adoption of good measures in
a free country. If any proof were wanting of this
assertion, only compare the debates in the House of
Commons with those in the House of Lords on this
subject.

Previous, however, to this examination, which will
be anything but flattering, I also will venture to lay
before your Lordship and the public a plan, the
adoption of which would, I believe, be of
considerable advantage to the embarrassed pro-
prietor, and what is of infinitely greatQr impor-
tance, will give to the people in the distressed districts
that employment, without which their condition can-
not be materially improved, and which will give life
and vitality to a law worthy of the name of Romilly
" The Encumbered Estates Sale Act."

Although I believe that the plan I am about to pro-
pose is perfectly unobjectionable, not only to the mind of
a statesman, but to that of every person whose judgment
has not been warped by previous crotchets, yet I am
well aware that it will be opposed by three classes of
her Majesty's subjects.
First, by all " Red Tapists," for those men are
invariably opposed to everything which is out of
official routine which does not emanate from them-
selves. Secondly, by political economists or Dr.
Arnold's " One-Eyed Men." Thirdly, by " Holier-
than-thou" men, who will turn up the whites of their
eyes and sigh awful 1
Assuredly it is not my intention to discuss the
subject with these men, who will not lose an oppor-
tunity of show ing their zeal for their respective
crotchets, and whose minds are constituted like that
of the worthy Fluellen, who sincerely believed that
there must be a similarity between Monmouth and
Macedon, because there was a river in each.
And when I propose as the very best, if not the
only mode of attaining the beneficial objects I have
enumerated, a tontine—such men will exclaim, " Oh,
it is a lottery ; better that the Irish should starve
than resort to such a remedy." Your Lordship,
however, with those whose opinions are of import-
, ance, will immediately perceive that the plan, so far
from partaking of the objectionable character of lot-
teries, is peculiarly calculated to be of advantage to
the Irish people.
For it will introduce in a practical shape, to a very
great number of persons scattered over many districts,
the inestimable advantages of life assurance—valuable
not only for individual benefit, but for those habits of
forethought which it necessarily encourages ; and
your Lordship will also see that this plan combines
two objects generally considered incompatible—the
benefit of life assurance with a provision tbr old age.
Did I not sincerely believe that a tontine is the
very best, if not the only means of introducing into
Ireland, that which is universally admitted must be
the foundation of all improvement—viz., the intro-
duction of capital with advantage to all parties, I
should copy the cunning conduct of Sir Robert Peel,
and having proposed a plan which I knew could not
be carried into practical execution, close my letter,
silently reserving to myself the right, if I thought it
of advantage hereafter, to blame Government for not
having attempted to try an absurdity.
I propose, then, that a tontine should be established,
with the sanction of Government, who should appoint
an auditor, whose report should be laid upon the table
of both Houses of Parliament fourteen days after the
opening of the session.
That with the view of rendering the benefits which
may be reasonably anticipated from such an under-
taking more easily attainable by every class of her
Majesty's subjects in Ireland, the capital be divided
nto shares, half-shares, quarter-shares, and one-eighth

shares.
That the capital be 4,000,0001., raised by 20,000
shares of 100/. each ; 20,000 half-shares of 50/. each ;
20,000 quarter-shares of 251. each ; and 40,000
eighth-shares of 121. 10s. each.
That with the view of bringing such undertaking
into immediate operation, the tontine be divided into
four classes, A, B, C, and D ; class A to consist of
the subscribers to the first million ; class B, C, and
D to consist of the subscribers to the second, third,
and fourth million.
That with the view of extending as rcuch as pos-
sible the advantages accruing to the surviving lives, and
to insure a much earlier division of the property, it be
not given as is usual to the last surviving life, but be
divided when so many lives have expired, that the
property would yield to those which survived estates
of 1,000/. per annum to whole shares, of 500/. per
annum to half shares, of 2501. per annum to quarter-
shares, and of 1251. per annum to eighth-shares.
That the surplus rents and profits, after providing
for all necessary improvements and expenses, shall be
divided every ten years among the surviving nominees.
That the directors of the tontine enter into an
arrangement with one of the principal insurance
offices to insure the lives of the nominees to the
amount of the shares held upon their life, at a lower
rate than that usually asked—and there would be no
difficulty in this, because of course the lives will be all
selected, not only on account of their supposed in-
dividual goodness, but in consequence of the known
longevity of their parents.
In my next letter I will conclude this part of the
subject. I have the honour to remain,
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
Corwar, Aug. 24. RIGBY WASON.
