AUSTRIA.

Georgey's surrender was known at Comorn on the
18th ult., and a written summons was sent to the gar-
ison, either to follow his example or to send in their
terms of capitulation.
The answer given on the 19th was as follows :
" We must reply to the summons of the General of
Brigade, V. Liebler, by statigg that no official commu-
nication as to the position TE siffairo near the Lower
Danube and in the Banat had reached us, and until we
know what has taken place there General V. Liebler
will see that we cannot, without incurring the charge of
treachery to the fatherland, consent to treat.
" In the name of the Council of War,
" KLAPKA."

On the 20th the Austrians advanced along the
right bank of the Danube, and the parley was con-
tinued between the garrison and an Austrian and
a Russian staff-officer. The result of this was that it

was agreed to suspend hostilities for a fortnight.
The Wiener Zeitung states on the authority of a
let*er of the 25th from Semlin, that Kossuth, Bern,
and Dembinski were at Alt Orsova, under the pro-
tection of the Pasha (Bev) there.
An article in the Wiener Zeitung declares that
Venice, as a free port, has always been an emporium
for smugglers, who thence inundated the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom with foreign manufactures. The
article bodes no good to Venice.
VIENNA, AUG. 30.—The negotiations relative to
the surrender of Comorn have been without any de-
finite result up to this time. One party in the
garrison obstinately refuse to surrender, while a great
part have left the fortress and laid down their
arms at Gran. Should a regular siege be
decided upon, the Danube would be closed
to commerce, which would occasion very considerable
loss. On the other hand, it is reported that the gar-
rison has requested permission to quit the fortress, and
obtain passports to foreign countries.
The Prussian Stant& Anzeiger, of the 2d September,
says—" Reports from Comorn state, that Prince Paul
Esterhazy has been seen on the left bank of the
Danube, in the neighbourhood of Nagy Sarlo, with
some superior Russian officers, and that he had given
the inhabitants of that neighbourhood hopes of a
speedy termination of hostilities. So much is cer-
tain, that the arrival of 20,000 Russians has been
announced at Neutra, and that preparations have been
made for their reception."
PEST a, AUG. 28.—Field-Marshal General Haynau
arrived here last night.
Kossuth, Dembinski, Messaros, sec., on their arrival
in Turkey, were stopped at Adakele to perform quar-
rantine. The Pasha, on being informed of this,
ordered them to be set at liberty, and provided car.
riages for them to proceed to Constantinople.
The TViener Zeitung states that Bern has reached
Turkey.

WEST INDIA and PACIFIC MAILS.
G
SOUTHAMPTON' TUESDAY MORNIII . —The Royal
-Mail steam ship, Dee, Captain Allen, has just arrived
hers with the usual West India and Pacific mails, in
charge of Lieutenant Davies, R N., AddiValty agent.
The Dee has experienced fresh head-winds during
her run from St. Thomas.
She brings on freight 964,951 dollars, of which
600,000 are in gold dust from California.
We have voluminous accounts and correspondence
by this arrival from all parts of the West Indies,
Pacific, California, Spanish Main, &c.
From Grey Town (Mosquito) we learn that the
town of Nicaragpa had been destroyed by the rebel
chief Somosa, who had also been to the port of San
Carlos and carried off the arms and ammunition. It
was rumoured Somosa intended to attack the British
settlement of San Juan, Nicaragua, but was pre-
vented by want of boats.
The insurrection in the interior prevented the usual
arrivals of cochineal for shipment
At Carthagena the population had been seriously
thinned by the cholera; but at the Dee's departure
the disease was sensibly abating.
Provisions were very scarce.
Our advices from Jamaica are to the 7th ultimo,
inclusive.
The heat was very great, and several cases of sick-
ness had occurred, dysentery being very prevalent.
The elections continued favourable to the popular
cause of retrenchment.
There were favourable prospects for the 1850 crop.
Business was very depressed, and the import mar-
ket inundated with immense supplies. Sugar was
still scarce, and quoted 163. to 203. per 100 lb. Rum
dull.

Exchange-60 days, 1 per cent. premium; 30
days, 11 per cent. premium ; merchant bills, 90 days,
par ; exchange on New York, 4 per cent. premium ;
American gold, 4 per cent. premium; Spanish gold,
2 per cent.
From Barbadoes we learn that the sugar crop was
nearly manufactured, and would exceed 33,000 tons,
generally of superior quality. The weather was so
sc•azonable, and such a spread of canes had been planted,
that a crop of 40,000 tons was expected in 1850.
The population was quiet, orderly, and industri-
ous, and the island perfectly healthy, a favourable
contrast, says a correspondent, with the present
position of Demerara and Jamaica. In Trinidad,
up to the 6th of August, the weather was very
favourable, and the crops would amount to 28,000
hogsheads. The crop of 1850 would scarcely equal
the present year on account of many estates having
been abandoned.
Grenada was healthy; exports would a trifle exceed
5,000 hogsheads.
Prospects for the next crop good.
In St. Vincent, up to the Bth of August, the crop
was much retarded by the prevailing sickness. Many
estates were backward, and it was doubted if some
would be able to reap their crops.
The crop of the Danish island of St. Croix had
fallen very short from excessive drought, and the
pro-Teets for next crop were very bad.
We have accounts from San Francisco up to the
2J of July, the latest yet received from California,
and at that time everything- was quiet in Upper
California ; the water in the mountain streams had
subsided, and the difficulties whiA had previously
existed in the collection of gold were in a great
measure disappearing. It was estimated that the
mines would this year produce 25,000,000 dollars,
provided that ordinary health and quiet continued.
From Panama we are informed that the Isthmus
will be free to the transit of all nations on and after
the Ist of January.
Vessels from American ports were obliged to per-
form a quarantine of eight days at Chagrea; there
were 114 vessels of all flags lying at the different
ports on the coast of California, most of them without
crews.

-- -
Seamen's wages were 150 dolls. per month.
Freight from Panama and San Francisco 50 dolls.
per ton ; passage, 400 dolls. The Dee performed a
quarantine of five days at Port Royal, in consequence
of having communicated with Carthagena.
The West Indian squadron was generally healthy,
but amongst the troops in Jamaica dysentery had
appeared, which it was feared was the precursor of
cholera.
In Demerara business was very dull and the wea-
ther extremely unfavourable. The constant rains
have almost wholly destroyed the crop, endangering
also those of next year.
The accounts from Hayti are of a very distressing
character, President Soulouque having ordered many
of his superior officers to be shot ; amongst others
General Similien. After these revolting and sangui-
nary measures, the British and American Consuls
came forward and protested against so wanton a
sacrifice of human life, and succeeded in saving seven-
teen unfortunate persons from destruction.
REVIEW OF MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile lntelligeneer.)
The general depression of every ieterest throughout
the island has marked the business of the fortnight pre-
ceeding the August holidays with increased dullness.
There has been very little activity, and the immense
supplies which shippers have so madly sent on, are assist-
ing to keep the market in a state of miserable stagnation.
The arrivals of butter within the last few weeks have
b.-en ridiculously superfluous, so much so, indeed, that
we fear much of it will have either to be sent back again
or thrown into the sea. Our means are so reduced at
this moment, that unless importations are regulated on
the most prudent scale they must result in loss. We
have endeavoured for some time past to impress this
fact on the minds of merchants abroad, but with little
effect. We, however, reiterate the caution, because we
conceive it to be our duty to do so, and the result will
show, as experience has already shown, that we do not
advise without reason.
Brandy_aor is abundant at our last quotations.
k.% —Sales of New Orleans yellow have been made
at 3s per bushel.
Flour—The stock is not heavy, but theprice has
gone over 32i per barrel, at which
figurea cargo from
Georgetown, consisting of 700 barrels and 150 half
barrels has been sold.
Freights are very dull, the little produce that there
was being all shipped.
Logwood was in active demand at 443 per ton, to fill
up the first August vessels, as sugar, coffee, &e, were
not to be had.
Meal—The price continues at 15s per barrel in small
quantities. The stock is large. For 200 barrels George-
town, just arrived, 14s were offered and refused.
Pimento is west!' 2d to 3d per lb.
Rice—Bengal is in far supply, and limited sales have
le.en made at 14s to 14, 6d per 1001bs; Carolina is held
at 19s per 10011)3.
Rum is very dull, and has been sold at 2s per gallon,
proof 21. A lot of a very favourite brand has been taken
at 2s 4,1 per gallon, and 3d per bead.
Sugar—There is none at market. The article is very
saleable at IGi to 20s.
Tobacco—Sales of 5 bales leaf have been made at 60s
per 1001bs.

LABUAN.—In a letter from a correspondent of the
Friend of China, dated Labuan, 15th April, 1849, the
following item is contained:—" Some more people who
were held in slavery in Borneo have escaped to this
place. They immediately found their way to the Lieu-
tenant-Governor, and great was their joy when he
kindly assured them they were perfectly free, and could
not be taken away again. This fact the Pangerans and
Orang Cayu (rich men) studiously keep from their
slaves, well knowing that, if aware of the fact, they
would not willingly continue in bondage to them. To-
day a hage prahu, belonging to the Sultan, arrived with
some Pangerans, bringing a message from the Govern-
ment. I was honoured with a visit on their return to
their prahtt."

IMONEY MARKET.--The premium on gold at Paris
is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25.421, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1011 per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101; end the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13.104, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent, dearer in
London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at
New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of
exchange between England and America being 109 23 40
per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.07 per

York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must
be deducted from the above difference.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1849,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,.
GUILDHALL.
Two inhabitants, residing in London-wall, entered the
court, and in the midst of the business addressed Sir P.
Laurie in an agitated manner, and wished for his inter-
ference to cause the removal of a coffin which was under-
stood to contain the body of a person who had died of
cholera in the churchyard of St. Alph age, in Philip -
lane, London-wall. They stated that the coffin had been
brought there and laid upon the ground with the lid off,
there being no grave in the churchyard at the time, and
it being understood that it had been removed to that
place by order of the coroner of London, merely that it
might be viewed by the gentlemen composing the coro-
ner's jury.

One of the innabitants said one of his children was
now ill, and he did not know how it might aggravate the
disease. The people were looking out of several win-
dows that commanded a view of the churchyard. How
long it might lay there he did not know, if something
were not done to abate the nuisance.
Sir P. LAURIE said the public mind was fed by the
newspapers with accounts of cholera, and it frightened
them into it by hundreds. He should order Roe the
officer of the court to go and see the churchyard and ro-
port as to the facts stated.
On the return of Mr. Roe, he said that from the
first and second floors of the houses close to the
churchyard the coffin could be teen as described, but
not from the pathway in the street, in consequence
of their being a very high wall. The lid was off,
and he certainly thought that instead of exposing it
in the churchyard, it might have been taken into the
church.

Mr. M'Lellan, one of the churchwardens, said that
application had been made• to him to allow the body
to be placed in the churchyard, but he positively re-
fused, but having occasion to go out on business, he
handed the keys and corarnuuicated his views to his
brother churchwarden. During his absence the ward
beadle repeated the application in such a way that the
churchwarden felt bound to obey the coroner; and gave
up the keys.
Sir P. LAURIE asked why an inquest was being held
on the body?
Mr. M'Lellan explained that in going round to in-
quire from house to house the health of the parish, he
found a woman was dead whose sickness he had not
heard anything of. Finding the shutters were not open
as usual on Sunday, some children had pulled them
open, and seen the body. As it was known her hus-
, band was entitled to 161 from his club, the neighbours
were greatly excited, suspecting the poor woman
might have been murdered. As this information was
being given to him, the man came walking up the court
with a pipe in his mouth, as unconcerned as if nothing
had happened.
Sir P. LAURIE then said he had no doubt this was a
proper case for inquiry, and observed that with respect
to these house-to-house visitations, it did more harm
than good, as it continually reminded the tenants of the
pestilence that was going abroad, and whatever trifling
indisposition betel them, they were reminded that it
might be the cholera. In the district where he lived
the medical officer had declined to vi.it from house to
house, believing that the alarm might create more mis-
chief than the knowledge of cases of sickness could do
good. In ordinary times an inquiry of "Is anybody
sick in this house?" would be harmless enough, but the
people now were in such a state of excitement that it
must be mischievous. He wished to know when the
inquest would be held and the body removed?
Mr. INPLellats said the inquest was then assembled.
The jury had viewed the body in the open yard, being
afraid to enter the room where the death had occurred.
Sir P. LAURIE said he did not see that he could inter-
fere with the coroner to any purpose, as the inquest
would soon be over and the body removed; but he should
like the churchwarden to assure him such was the fact
as soon as the jury gave their verdict.
In about half an hour afterwards Mr. M'Lellan re-
turned to say that the jury bad given a verdict of death
by cholera, and that the body had been instantly re-
moved to the Golden-lane burial-ground to remain until
a grave could be dug.
One of the applicants said that the terror of the dis-
ease tended much to produce mischief, for his servant,
who had been looking out of an upper window, had sup-
posed she had caught the infection, and was then seriously
ill, as was likewise his son. When the ward beadle was
spoken to, he became very pompous and self-opiniated
on the subject.
Sir P. LAURIE—SO they are all by virtue of their
otlice.—(Laughter )
Mr. kt'Lellan said he was exceedingly sorry his bro.
ther churchwarden parted with the keys at all.
The two applicants having thanked Sir P. Laurie for
his prompt attention to their case, then retired.
!VESTA' IN S T.E R.
Edward Rees Sitzenich, late a clerk in the establish-
ment of Messrs. Mare, upholsterers and house agents,
21, Lower Belgrave-place, was brought up for re-exa-
mination, charged with embezzling upwards of 4001., re-
ceived by him in the transaction of their business.
Mr. Ballantine attended for the prosecution, and Mr.
Humphreys for the prisoner.
The circumstances of the case, in which there were
three distinct charges proceeded with against the pri-
soner, are briefly these :—The accused entered the ser-
vice of Messrs. Mare in January, 1847, as a clerk, his
dnty particularly being to attend to the house agency
department, sec those who wished to let or take houses,
receive the money from the residents, and account for it
to the firm. Tho Messrs. Mate let a house belonging
to a gentleman named Fletcher, of Manor-house, Esher,
to a Mr. Ilarris, upon a written agreement drawn by the
prisoner for 300/., which was paid in three instalments,
Mr. Ilarris handing the prisoner a cheque for 100/. at the
time of signing the agreement in March, it being his
wish to pay that sum before taking possession, a second
and like amount on the 13th of July, and a correspond.
ing sum on the 17(h of August, in anticipation of the
instalment due in September (the present month). The
first of these amounts the prisoner handed over to Mr.
Fletcher, but never accounted to either of the Messrs.
Mare nor the owner of the house fur the other two sums.
In the third charge against the accused, his em-
ployers had let a house belonging to the Hon. Adolphus
Liddell to a lady named Burgoyne fur 420 guineas, the
term of occupancy being from the 20th of February to
the end of last July. In May the prisoner handed over
to Mr. Liddell the first moiety of the amount agreed
upon, deducting the commission for agency ; and sub•
sequently, at the expiration of the term, wrote to Messrs
Mere, requesting them to receive the residue, 2201. 103.
The prisoner both wrote on the 9th of August and
waited upon Mr. Liddell on Wednesday fortnight, on
both of which occasions he denied that he had received
the money, alleging in the letter that Mrs. Burgoyne
had been too ill to attend to business matters. Mr.
Liddell wrote to the lady, and it was then ascertained
that Mrs. Burgoyne 's butler had paid Edgar Reader, a
junior clerk in Messrs. Mare's firm, the second 220/. 108.1
on the 29th of July, which he had handed over to the
prisoner, who, in writing the letters to Mr. Liddell, had
done so without the knowledge or authority of his em-
ployers, whose names he signed.
Mr. Ballantine baring called two witnesses to prove
that the two last cheques of Mr. Harris and Mrs. Burgoyne
had been severally paid into the banker's upon which
they were drawn, asked for the committal of the prisoner
for trial, at the same time observing that he felt it his
duty to state that there were two other cases against the
prisoners, and that in the event of proceeding with them,
he would give Mr. Humphreys four or five days' notice.
The witnesses in attendance were then bound over to
prosecute the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court,
but as there were two, whose evidence had been pre-
viously taken, absent, it was arranged that the prisoner
should be remanded from time to time, until the 17th, on
which day it is expected that the absent witnesses will
be able to attend to sign their depositions, and be bound
over to prosecute.
Bail, upon the application of Mr. Humphreys, was
refused.

MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN,
AND SUICIDE, BY A FATHER.
On Monday morning, about half-past eleven, a most
fearful tragedy took place at East-street, Ipswich, when
a man named Grayson, murdered three of his male
children, of the respective ages of fcur years, three years,
and eight months old, by cutting their throats with a
razor, and afterwards cutting his own throat with the
same instrument. An inquest upon the bodies; was held
in the afternoon at the Dove Inn, when it appeared, by
the testimony adduced, that the father was a painter by
trade, about thirty-three years old, and had been mar-
ried nearly ten years, the fruit of his marriage b-iing
seven children. lie was always kind to his wife, fond
of his children, and of particularly temperate habits.
During the last five or six weeks, however, his appetite
failed him, and he frequently exhibited a strong tendency
to despondency, arising from the cares of his large
family, whom he seemed to apprehend he should not
be able properly to bring up. Latterly he suffered from
acute pains in his head, producing lowness of spirits, and
ho sometimes was heard to say " I shall never live to get
through nay- troubles." On Sunday he retired to bed, and
appeared to sleep as usual ; but after breakfast yester-
day complained to his wife that he felt very languid and
faint. Shortly after eleven o'clock Mrs. Grayson went
shopping into the town, leaving her husband and children
in the house; but she had not been absent more that
half an hour when she heard the awful tidings of what
had occurred. As soon as she returned the shecking
spectacle presented itself of the four bodies lying on the
ground in the front roon, with their throats cut, all dead
—a razor lying between her husband's logs. It appears
that no sooner had his wile left the house than the un-
fortunate man said to the three deceased children, who
were playing in the room, " Come to me here and play
in the front room, and I will give you a halfpenny each."
This observation was heard by his daughter Emma,
aged eight, who wns washing up platcs in the adjoining
kitchen, and she in consequence left the kitchen and
stood at the back door, where she saw her father take
the babe in his arms and carry him into the front room,
the other two children following. She then returned
to the washhouse, but in a few minutes went into the
front room, when sho beheld her father and three
brothers lying dead on the carpet. An alarm was given,
and surgical assistance instantly procured, but, of course,
it was ineffectual. After a lengthened examination of
several witnesses, the jury returned a verdict, that Gray-
son had cut the throats of Arthur, Walter, Frederick,
and his own, while in a state of temporary derangement.

MARLBOROUGH- STBE ET.
John Veal, a noted burglar, who lately escaped from
the Middlesex Hospital, where he had been confined in
consequence of a serious accident which he sustained
when attempting to escape from the police about ten
days ago, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, having
been retaken by the police yesterday morning. The
prisoner, it will be recollected, was devoted, with a com-
panion, on the top of some houses in Argyll-street. The
prisoner made his way over the tops of the houses, and
entered a house, from which he leaped, and seriously
injured the bones of one of his feet. His companion fell
from the roof of a house, and was killed on the spot.
The prisoner, it appeared, contrived to elude the vigilance
of the constable who had charge of him in the hospital,
and secreted himself for several days with success.
Police-Inspector Whall r.nd Police-Sergeant Gray ob-
tained a clue to his hiding place, in Corbel-place, Brick-
lane, and making their way into the house by the back
premises, in order to avoid an attack from a large and
ferocious bull-dog kept in the passage, they took the
prisoner as he was lying in bed, playing a game of
cards with ono of his companions. The prisoner was
remanded till Saturday, and removed for the present to
the infirmary.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
Yesterday afternoon Inspector Yates, of the M divi-
sion, who was bound over by the Coroner as the prose-
cutor of Frederick George Manning, and Maria his
wife, for the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, at
No. 3, Minver•place, Bermondsey, waited on Mr. Seeker,
at the Southwark Police Court, for his sanctioe to allow
a tradesman in the City to see the prisoner, in Horse-
monger.lane Gaol.
The Inspector stated that on the afternoon of the Bth
of August a man answering the description of the male
prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Eastman and Yeo,
stationers, No. 100, Cheapside, and requested to leave a
small air-gun, concealed in a cloth wrapper. Mr. reo
was in the shop at the time, and observed that the man
appeared in rather an excited state, but being particu-
larly engaged at the time, he made no observations to
the stranger, but received the gun and deposited it be•
hind his counter; and on the man promising to call for
it the next morning ho left the shop. About 12 o'clock
at noon (on the day of the murder) the same man called
for the air-gun, which was banded to him by Mr. Yeo,
and he had not seen him since. Hearing of the murder,
and the particular mode in which it- was perpetrated,
and observing in the newspapers the apprehension
and examination of the suspected murderer, he had every
reason to believe that Manning was the person who had
called at his shop under the circumstances above de-
scribed. Mr. Yeo accordingly communicated with the
police authorities, and it was at his request the present
application was made, so that he might hare an oppor•
tunity of seeing him.

Mr. Sacker—ls it your opinion that the person who
left and called for the gun is the man now i❑ custody ?
Inspector Yates—From the description given to me by
Mr. Yeo, I have reason to believe he is the party.
Mr. Seeker (to Mr. Yeo)—Hsd you a sufficient op-
portunity of observing the man's features so that you
might be enabled to identify him?
Mr. Yeo—l had, Sir. When he called on the-morn
ing of the 9th I took particular notice of him, as he was
a stranger to our establishment.
Mr. Seeker—Under those circumstances I shall fur-
nish you with an order to visit the gaol immediately, so
that you may have an opportunity of pointing out the
suspected person to the Inspector, if he is arnong;t the
inmates of the gaol.
The order of admission was accordingly made out by
the chief clerk, and Mr. Yeo, accompanied by Inspector
Yates, forthwith proceeded to the county gaol, where
every facility was afforded them by the Governor. The
male prisoners in the various wards were then mixed
together, and Mr. Yeo was allowed to examine the fea-
tures of each minutely. After a close inspection of all
present he was, however, unable to identify either of
them as the man who had deposited the air-gun on his
premises. They then left the prison and returned to
the police court, when they informed the magistrate of
their unsuccessful inquiries.
Later in the day Mr. Adams, of the firm of Adams
and Hellstard, pawnbrokers, of Bermondsey-street,
waited on the magistrate, and produced a pair of pistols,
which he said had been pledged at his shop by a person
answering the description of Manning. The applicant
stated that on the previous evening he was standing at
his door, when be was accosted by one of the officers of
the police, who asked him whether he had taken any
pistols in pledge from any man during the last month.
Ile (applicant) considered for some momenta, and recol-
lected that on the 14th of August a man called and
pledged a pair of pistols for 4s. lie gave his name
Frederick Jennings, and said he resided at No. 24,
Morgan-square. lie then minutely examined the pistols
and found one of them had recently been fired, and that
the other had not been used. llis suspicions were im-
mediately excited, which caused him to come forward
and produce them.

Mr. Seeker then asked him if he had made any in-
quiries at the house where the man had given his
address ?

He replied that he had, and that the house was occu-
pied by a Mr. Walsh ; but that person denied all know-
ledge of any man of the name of Jennings. Applicant
then described the person of the man who pledged the
weapons, and he said that he had no such party ever
lodging in his house.
Mr. Seeker asked him by whom the pistols were ma-
nufactured ?

.Alr. Adams said they had engraved upon them the
name of " Blanch, Gracechurch-street."

Mr. Seeker said he had better leave the discharged
pistol with Inspector Yates who would make the neces•
sary inquiries, and report thereon at a future period.
The pistol was then marked by Mr. Adams, and
handed over to the inspector.
In the course of the day Mr. Binns, as solicitor on
the behalf of Manning, made an application relative to
the sum of mosey, 201., which had been handed over to
Mr. Solona, n,t se legal adviser of Maria Manning, to be
applied to the purposes of defence in the forthcoming
prosecution. lie said that out of the above amount he
had received 51. 165., a sum totally inadequate to defray
the expenses which will be necessarily required for
his defence, and that the object of the present applica-
tion was for the purpose of requesting that a lair
proportion of the money already advanced might be
given up. He then quoted from " Chitty's Reports" a
clause on the relative rights of husband and wife, and
bearing upon the subject of his application, and which
was to the following effect:—" In general every contract
made with, or security given to, a married woman vests
in her husband, and be may sue alone to enforce the
contract; but if a note be given to a married woman, as
administratrix, even by her husband and others, then,
after her husband's death, she may sue the latter: If a
gift or legacy, whether specific or.otberwise, be given to
a married woman, for her own use, and at her own dis-
posal, without other words, this vests the beneficial
interest separately in .her, and in those cases, if no other
trustee be appointed, a court of equity would treat the
husband merely as a trustee, and compel him to act
accordingly. But if the bequest be to a married woman
for her own use and benefit without adding the words
at her own disposal,' the wife does not take a separate
interest, but her husband is entitled." Having given the
above quotation, which he applied on the part of Man-
ning, that, at all events, half the sum already given up
should be devoted to the purposes of his defence; that
there were seventy-three sovereigns, besides some
French Rentes of considerable value, found on Mrs.
Manning, and which had no connexion with the pro-
perty of the murdered man; and he contended that
Manning, as the husband, was justly entitled to the
whole of it.

THE CHOLERA AT SEA.—The ship Sheridan,
Captain Cornish, arrived at Quarantine from Liverpool.
She lost 31 of her steerage passengers and seamen by
cholera. The following are their narnes:—Mr. Sim-
mons, of New York, second officer of the ship; J. An-
derson, of Liverpool, carpenter of ditto; William Ogden,
seaman, of Liverpool; Frank Conklin, ditto, of Rouen,
France; Walter Riley, ditto, of Weatherfield, Connecti-
cut; George Simmons, ditto, of Dantzic. Steerage pas-
sengers—John Grimes, of Sligo; Frank and Ellen Dal-
ton, of ditto; W. Hollyridge, and Martha, his wife (who
have left four children on board the ship, without rela-
tives or friends); Mary, Catharine, Sarah, and Charles
Barnes, of Craxton, England (all of the same family,
and the mother is on board); John Mickleworth, of
Leeds, England; Sarah Pratt, of Oxford, Ireland ; John
and dward Richards, of Leeds, England; Catherine
Doyle, of Ireland; Michael Breene, of Tipperary; James
and Richard Smith, of Ireland; Martha Farrell, of
Longford; William and Dorothea Oldman, of Cornwall,
England; Sarah and Morris and Edward Lloyd (mother
and two children), of Kidderminster, England ; John
Shannon, of Rosscommon, Ireland ; (Joseph Kavanah,
of Dublin, fell overboard and was drowned). Captain
Cornish had a very serious and trying time the first
week out. The cholera broke out among the crew on the
7th of August; for the first eight days there were from
eight to ten new cases, and from three to five deaths
daily for eight days in succession. 0-,it of 22 semen,
only four could be mustered in a watch. 80 cases and
31 deaths occured since the ship sailed. All that could
be done was done by Captain Cornish and his officers
for the sick. Several were ill when she reached Staten
Island; they were taken to the hospital. The vessel has
been detained at Quarantine.—New York Herald.
The shipwrights who struck work in Shields some
time ago, in consequence of an attempt on the part of
their employers to reduce their wages, persist in refus-
ing to submit to the proposed reduction, and the most of
them have been set on again at their former rate of
wages,—Neweastle Journal,

Mr. Seeker said that at present he should make no
order on the subject, but should take time to consider
the matter.

Mr. Binns then withdrew.

Cmuous ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night last, Mr.
J. Crineau took a ticket for Starcross, at Bristol, where
he resides, intending to go to Sidmouth by way of Ex-
mouth. He left the Bristol and Exeter down platform
at the usual hour, 1.15, A.M., and at about 6, A.M., some
labourers on their way to work discovered him lying oa
the up-rails, about half a mile above Wellington. As-
sistance was rendered, and he was promptly conveyed
to the Half-moon Hotel, Wellington, where it was dis-
covered that several ribs were fractured, his body was
much bruised, and his head cut in many places. He
must have lain upon the line for upwards of three hours.
Mr. Blackmore, the intelligent superintendent of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Police, was sent down to
make some inquiries, and he found that the unfortunate
gentleman must have fallen through the window, as the
doors were locked on the off-side. It is supposed that
at so late a period of the evening Mr. Crineau must have
felt drowsy and fallen asleep; but, stank(' by the
whistle previous to coming into the Wellington station,
he must have forgotten where he was, and from the
lights, imagining himself in bed with his room in
flAmes, scrambled through the window, and met the
accident, from which, it is believed,, he has every
chance of recovering. He is, we understand, registrar
of births and deaths for one of the Bristol districts.—
ll'estern Times.

THE Gears SEASON.—Partridges are said to be
very plentiful arid in good condition, so that sportsmen
are likely to have " game" enough before long; but the
poor birds will have a temporary respite in many cases,
till the corn is off the ground. Grouse shooting and
deer stalking in the north are the groat royal and aristo-
cratic pursuits at this time, and the sport is said to be
xcellent, great quantities of, game having been almost
daily " bagged" by even ordinary shots, whilst " crack"
sportsmen bag their " braces" by scores. Hares are also
said to be plentiful, so that the pleasures of the field are
likely this season to supply a satisfactory recrortion to
the lovers of the "dog and gun."—Newcastle Journal.
