THE MURDER IN EASTCHEAP.
Oa BlakeNley's arrival at Newgate he was immediately
placed in a solitary cell, apart from the other prisoners.
His state of exhaustion was so complete as to require
immediate attention from the medical attendant, who
directed that some generma mutton-broth should be hn-
mediately prepared for him ; having partaken of which,
with a portion of the meat, he revived, and requested
that lie might havu pen, ink, and paper, for the purpose
of writing to his wif., for whose recovery he expressed
a strong desire, and frequently ejaculated prayer that it
might be speedy and complete. These were immediately
supplied, and the wie.elied man sat down at the table, and
wrote with apparent facility a long letter to his wife, which
filled three shies of a sheet of foolscap. This he sealed and
directed, and Mr. Cope immediately despatched one of
the messengers in attendance at the prison to deliver it
at the house at Eastcheap, where the writer had su re-
cently attempted the HAe of the woman to whom it was
addressed, and had actually murdered the kind relative
to whom she was indebted for protection. On the mes-
senger ilelivering the letter to Mrs. Burdon, she imme-
diately recognised the handwriting of the murderer of
her husband, and uttering an exclamation, immediately
tore the letter into fragments, and desired the messenger
to say there was no answer to it.
INlr. Cope has very properly directed that no commu-
nication shall be held with the prisoner, except by the
medical attendant and clergyman of the prison. Two
turnkeys are in attendance upon him, and are locked up
in the cell with him day and night, going on duty at six
morning and evening, and thus relieving each other.
It ha.; been stated that Blakeslee was seen and spoken
to on the day after the murder by persons who knew
him. To show the imperfect knowledge possessed by the
inhabitants of the villages near the metropolis, of occur-
rences which have been published in all the journals, and
been read by thousands in towns anti cities throughout
the empire, the young man Brown, with whom Blakes-
ley conversed at Potter's Bar on the day after the mur-
der, and to whom he even mentioned his having resided
at Seven Oaks—thus establishing his identity as the man
who stood charged with murder—this young man never
heard the murder mentioned until the Friday afternoon,
and then furnished the first clue to the track of the mur-
derer.
The King's Head public-house was again opened on
Monday, and has been since crowded to excess. Great
surprise was expressed in consequence of Mrs. Burdon,
together with her son, being behind the bar, and the
former assisting in serving her customers.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
VR )31 THE NORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIM ES.—The reports adverted to vesterday on the
subject of the conversion of Exchequer have proved
to a certain extent at variance with those official state-
ments which it became the duty of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to make last night to the House of Commons,
but the result is essentially the same, as it appears that
the whole of the proposed subscription has not been
filled up. There arises this further difference, that
nu intimation is given of a disposition on the part of the
Bank of England (a point which yesterday met with
very general belief) to provide for the sum left deficient
in the subscriptions of private capitalists. Tho mode to
be adopted by the TreaSury to make good the deficiency
is now declared to be that of selling stock to the extent
that may be required.
Some explanations appear to be looked for in the City,
as to what is meant by the 6` sales of stock," which are
to be the available means (beyond the subscription) of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. No stock is known
here to be disposable for sale by the Treasury, except
that of the Savings' B.mks ; but i f that is the source of
supply, it ought, undoubtedly, to be distinctly stated.
The National Stocks have further declined to-day, as
Os° Exchequer Bills. The decline in this latter security
is, however, not at all remarkable, since, as- the conver-
sion is now at an end, there is no call for them in tke
Market.
HERALD.—The considerable fall in the Brazilian
funds to-day has naturally attracted a grist deal of at-
tention. The cause is attributable to the non-appear-
ance of the expected advertisement of the dividend pay-
able on this stuck at the usual time, Unit the certainty
now so well understood that not only no funds have been
received from Rio Janeiro on account of the payment,
but also that the negotiations in progress for raising the
means here have terminated without any result. The di-
vidend in question is due on the Ist proximo, now
close at hand. The new Brazilian Minister does
not seem to be so fortunate or so acute a financier
as his predecessor. There are various reports in cir-
culation as to the causes of this failure is raising mo-
ney. One report has it, that, as the bonds of one of
the loans are about eight per cent. below those of the
others, on account of being thought, for some reason or
other, not quite so secure, theicipitalists applied to have -
refused to make advances, except on the condition of
being allowed a conversion schme of the lower priced
stock into new bonds of the same stampand conditions
as the higher priced stocks. This conversion scheme has
something like the appearance of a peg, on which to hang
some goodly charges for commission, agencies, &c., in
addition to the interest and premium to be bargained for,
and exacted on the money advanced. It is not exactly
apparent in what the difference of security between the
two descriptions of stock consiets, but the effect of the
use made of the discovery has been to depress the value
to 64 to 65, being a fall of 3 per cent.
ADVERTISER.—The principles of a more enlight-
ened commercial policy between nation and nation can
hardly' be expected not to extend to our olonial posses-
sions, and while brother Jonathan is about to trammel
the industrial interest: of the people of the United
States, as well as of all who deal with them, by the im-
position of more onerous import duties, it is gratifying
to observe that his Canadian neighbouri are ir,clined to
the very opposite 'course of policy. A very interest-
ing debate had taken place in the Legislative Assem-
bly of Canada, in relation to those matters, just
before the date of our accounts, to hand yesterday,
viz., the '3lst ult. Undoubtedly some of the speakers
upon this occasion gave expression to views which are
of too chimerical a character, but the majority of the
members seemed to think soundly on the subject. -A
Mr. Myrrh said he would propose to the mother country
a system of free trade. The Canadians would abandon
their import duties, and she should abandon all her
duties upon Canadian experts, by which North America,
would become part and parcel of the empire ; and he
would substitute for the revenues which Canada now
derived from her imports, which did not exceed 40,000 i,
the tolls which would be received front the St. Lawrence
Canal. He attempted to prove that it this were done,
Grua Britain would be the gainer.
POST.--Letters from Lima to June 21st mention that
there was little or no chance of the attempts making to
upset the existing Government of Pei proving success-
ful. Everything was going on prosperously under
Ga-
utarra. The returns of produce and minerals showed a
rapid increase. The attention of the people %As begin-
ning to be turned to the cultivation of cotton and silk.
The flieilities afforded by the Steam Company appeared
to give new life and energy to the Republic in all its de-
partments. The mines of Pasco had been yielding,. large
quantities of treasure, and quicksilver was selling, for cash,
at 160 dollars per quintal, or IGOIbs. There was an im-
mense stock or fiireign goods on hand, so that prices
were low, but if peace could only be preserved it was
anticipated that everything would find purchasers. and
that better markets would be experienced. Chili was
getting on exceedingly well. Tranquillity prerailed
throughout the land ; the Republic seems likely be-
fore long to exhibit a display of wealth which is not
to be equalled in any other part of the globe ; and it is
assumed that the remittances now regularly made to
Europe for the payment of her dividends may
be taken as a guarantee of the, honest into-

Hfi
REWARD FOR THE APPREHENSION OF
BLAKESLEY.—The Chief constable of the Hertfordshire
Constabulary Force, attended the Justice room to call
the attention of the Lord Mayor to a paragraph in
several of the newspapers to the effect that, in conse-
quence of the surrender of Robert Blakesley, accused of
the murder of James Bunion, there could be no claim
to the reward of 1001. which had been offered by Go-
vernment for the apprehension of the alleged murderer.
He begged to state to his Lordship, that the paragraph
complained of was calculated to impress upon the public
mind that those who were certainly entitled to the re-
ward ought not to receive it. Now the fact was, that
Blakesley did not give himself up. He appeared about
the market-place at Ilitchin, and was taken into cus•
tody there by the two constables who had given evidence
on the Monday at the Mansion-house, and who would
not, whether they suspected him to have been guilty of
the murder or not, have permitted him to leave them.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether Blakesley's conduct
was not that of a man who surrendered himself ? The
impression upon his mind was that the man had given
himself up.
The Chie:'Constable of Hertfordshire here said Blakes-
ley had never given himself up. He was wandering
about until he was addressed by one of the constables,
and from that moment he was in custody, for the orders
issued to the constabulary were to take into custody any
. person who was without an abode and destitute. It was
easy enough for a man to make a merit of giving himself
up when he found his detention was unavoidable.
The LORD MAYOR said ho understood the man to have
conft.esed at °ace in the open street that he was the per-
son who stabbed the landlord and his own wife in East-
cheap.
The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire. said (as our
Reporter understood him) that the constables, in going
up to Blakesley, and saying it was a fine night, merely
used those words as a preliminary to his apprehension
as a prisoner, and never for a moment thought of letting
him go. If the constables had allowed him to leave
them they would have been guilty of a transgression of
orders, which he perfectly well knew they would not
commit. His (the Chief Constable's) wish was to re-
move the impression likely to be made upon the public
mind, that the constable', had no merit in doing their
duty.

The LORD MAYOR said that he never imputed to the
constables that they had not done their duty. There
was no imputation that he had seen upon any person
employed upon the service.
The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire said, that if
the City authorities had sent down to the Hertfordshire
constabulary a description of the man who was accused
of the murder, the probability was that Blakesley would
• have been apprehended on the second day after the per-
petration' of the offence but no description whatever
had been transmitted to Hertford, and the man had been
wandering about for six days after he left London. As
the case had been brought before the Lord Mayor, he
(the Chief Constable) considered that his Lordship was
the best person to whom to make the statement as to the
reward, to which he decidedly considered the two con-
stables of Hitchin, who took the prisoner in the market-
place,
were entitled.
The LORD Mason—He was six days from London,
and penniless—in fact, in a state of beggary ; and,
therefore, his only resource was to surrender.
The Chief Constable said—Why, then, had not the
man surrendered himself in the day time? If Inspector
Hodgson had entered the Market-place, and seen the
pri-
soner, and said the prisoner was the murderer, he could
have claimed tho reward, and received it, and was it rea-
sonable to suppose that the constable who had actually
apprehended the prisoner should be denied it ?
The LORD MAYOR observed that the applicant, as a
gentleman of good sense, having read the advertisement
offering the reward, would be able to judge whether the
Hertfordshire constables were entitled, according to the
Wording of that advertisement, to the reward. He (the
Lord Mayor) had not read it, and could not, therefore,
form an opinion as to its construction.
The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire said the hand-
bills stated that a reward of 100/. would be paid to any
one apprehending, or giving such information as would
lead to the apprehension of Robert Blakesley. He con-
sidered that conclusive in favour of the claims of the two
men acting under his orders, and he wished to hear his
Lordship's opinion.
The LORD MAYOR—I do not consider myself qualified
to give an opinion on the subject. I have had no in-
structions (ruin the Government in respect to it, and I
think that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment is the only person to whom you can properly ap-
ply in such a case. You will be treated with the greatest
courtesy there.

tioP.s of the Administration. An unpleasant fe4-
had been excited by what is deemed the
undue interference on the part of fOreigners in the
politics of the State. They are dechil'ed to enjoy as
many privileges as they can expect or desire, and tho
least they can do, therefore, it is thought, is to mind
their Own affairs. Apart from this improper meddling
in the Government of the Repablic, the, disposition of
the natives towards strangers was perflitetly amicable,
The prospects of the Pacific Steam Company were still
highly flattering. The only drawbaok to its advance-
ment that had occurred was the striking of one of the
boats (the Chili) on a rock near Valparaiso. The
steamer its question sprung a leak in consequence of the
accident, which would oblige the commander to take hex, to Ginty:Nisi! to repair.
SUN.—The Money Market was very &pressed to-dayi ita con-
sequence of what is considered to be the partial ail re or
the funding operation of Mr. Goulburn. It ,is thought, how-
ever, that means may yet be found for eating off all the stock
representingthe five millions sterling required. Loans en
made at full 6 per cent, in, several instances.
