Monday has been very small, and of but middling

Sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. Nearly 15,000

went at 82s 6d to 89s per cwt. Black Pepper has been

dealt in.'

SALTPETRE.— Calcutta gocd strong grey 41 per cent.
refraction has been sold at 27s to 27s 6d per cwt.
COTTON.—A better demand has existed, and full
prices have been realised, but less was doing yesterday.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. has been dull at 41s 3d per cwt on
the spot.

TEA.—The market has been rather dull, and at the
public sales only about 2,500 packages sold of the 11,900
which passed, and at previous rates.
GREEN FRIIIT.—A fair demand exists for all kinds,
and as the stock is of a limited character, coupled with
an increasing consumption in the manufacturing dis-
tricts a progret:sive improvement in prices may be ex-
pected. A cargo of Oranges, ex Idea, and part of
one, ex Ring Alfred, from St. Michael's; 300 boxes, ex
Pet, from Palermo; 300 boxes Lemons, ex Jim, from
Malaga, sold by Keeling and Hunt, went at full prices.
Seville Sours are scarce, and the few cargoes expected
are being taken by the trade to arrive. Messina Lemons
are cleared from first hands, and the present prices are
likely to be sustained. The continued arrivals of chesnuts
from France and Spain exercise a depressing influence on
the price; but as the consumption is large, the stock daily
diminishes. Some large arrivals of Barcelona Nuts have
taken place, but being principally imported parcels, do
not affect the present price of 43s to 44s per bag.

Benchers upon a subject connected with the etiquette of

dress the Court, he having been objected to by another
Learned Gentleman of cons;derable practice.

MA RLBRO'-ST REET—( THIS DAY.)
SUSPECTED MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER HUSBAND.
—William 6'impson Howells, a porter out of place, re-
siding at 26, Wells street, Oxford-street, was placed at
the bar, before Mr. Hardwick, charged on suspicion of
murdering his wife, Mary Bedford Howells, by stabbing
her with a knife.
William White, on being sworn, said, I am a smith,
and occupy the first-floor front room at No. 26, Wells-
street. The prisoner and his wife occupied the back
room on the same floor. About half past eleven last
night I was awoke up from my sleep by hearing the
prisoner say in a loud tone, " Put that knife down; my
dear Maria, do put that knife down." The deceased
said, "I will not loose it; I will not put it
down." I then heard a scuffle between them,
as if the prisoner was trying to take the knife
away from her. I then heard the woman cry out,
"Good God, I am cut; run for a doctor; help, help!"
The door of the room was then opened, and I heard the
prisoner run out. My wife then got up, and went into
the prisoner's room. I followed her, and as soon as I
entered I saw the prisoner's wife lying on her back upon
the bed, which was OR the floor. Some part of her
clothes were off, and there was a wound on her left
breast, from which blood was flowing. I also saw
blood issuing from her mouth. She never spoke
or moved from the time I went into the room.
I saw a knife stained with blood lying on a table close
by the bed, and a great deal of blood was about the
room. The prisoner then came in and said, " I have
been for the doctor, but I could not see him." I did not

ask the prisoner how it happened, as he was too much
agitated. When the doctor came he sent the prisoner
to his house for something, and I remained in the room
whilst he probed the wound. Tho doctor then said,
" She is dead; I can do nothing for her." The prisoner
then came back and hugged and kissed his wife, and
prayed to the doctor to restore her. I then went for
the mother of deceased, and when I returned the pri-
soner was gone to the police-station. The prisoner
appeared to me to be perfectly sober.
Mr. Leadly, the chief clerk Are you sure
you could hear every word uttered in the priso-
ner's room ? Witness—Yes, the partition between the
two rooms is so slight that I couldj hear every word
through it.
Mr. Leadly—Did the prisoner and his wife appear to
live on good terms with each other ? Witness—. Yes;
he (the prisoner) was extremely fond of his wife, but
they sometimes quarrelled. On Wednesday night last,
they were at supper, and I heard them quarrel. From
what I could hear, the prisoner was toasting something
before the fire, when his wife pushed his arm into the
fire. I heard the prisoner say, " You have pushed my
arm into the fire, do not do it again." They afterwards
appeared to be on good terms with each other, and
retired to rest quietly. On Thursday afternoon I heard
them singing together, and they appeared to be very
merry.

Mi-iry White, wife of last witness, said—About
halt-past eleven o'clock last night, I heard the pri-
soner and his wife having a bit of a quarrel. All
at once I heard deceased say "I have cut myself;
fetch the doctor." The prisoner then ran out,
and I went into the room to the assistance of
his wife. I found her lying on the floor, close by the
fire. She said to me—" Help me." The deceased's
mouth was full of blood, and she asked me to hold her
up. I did so as well as I could, and held her in that
position until the doctor arrived. I saw a wound on
deceased's breast, but very little blood was coming
from it. Previous to the arrival of the doctor the
prisoner came in and brought some brandy,
and said " The doctor will be here directly." The
prisoner then took the deceased up and placed her in a
chair whilst I made up the bed. I heard the deceased
say " I have done it;" and the prisoner replied, " Yes,
you have Maria." I am positive I heard her say so.
the prisoner never made any allusion to me as to the
cause of the, wound. Directly the doctor saw the de-
ceased he said it vrus too late. I saw several knives on
the table in the room, and I observed blood on one of
them.

Mary Clark said—l am a schoolmistress, and rent the
house No. £6, Wells-street. On Thursday fortnight the
prisoner came and hired the first floor back room. He
took possession the same day. A few days after they
came in I was told by my daughter that they were
quarrelling. I went up stairs on to the landing and
listened. I then beard the deceased abuse
the prisoner in most shocking terms respecting some
bacon which he had been buying. I heard the prisoner
say to his wife, " You will disgrace me in these lodgings
as you have in others." With this exception they ap-
peared to be on very good terms. About twelve o'clock
on Thursday night I went up stairs to the pri-
soner's room, and saw the deceased lying on her
back on the floor, quite dead. The prisoner was kneel-
ing by her side, speaking to her in the most endearing
terms, and had both her hands clasped in his, grasp-
ing them tightly to his neck. I asked him if she was
dead ? He replied, "No ; she is not dead, she is only
in a fit. I have often seen her in such fits
for three hours at a time." I asked the prisoner
how it was done. He then arose and gave me a knife
stained with blood, and said, " This is what it was done
with." The knife appeared to have been recently
wiped, and was smeared with blood all the way down
the blade. I looked sternly at the prisoner and said,
:v.W_ho wiped this knife?" The prisoner looked very
ild. and said, "I am surprised at you asking such
a question." I then left the room and sent for a
constable. 1
