RUSSIAN EXPEDITION AGAINST KIIIVA.

We have this moment learned that Government has received
intelligence that the Russian expedition to Khiva has entirely
'ailed, with the loss of most of their artillery during a snow
storm, and great fear was entertained that most part of their
army would not be able to re-embark, having no transports.
In consequence of the above intelligence Consols have rather
improved, and may be quoted 90,7, 91 for the Account.
Indian Stock has also improved to 250.

THE MURDER AT ISLINGTON.-
ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

The inquest on the body of Mr. John TemPLeman, late °
Lincoln Cottage, Pocock's-felds, who was Fon"° mard'rect on
the morning of Tuesday, the I ith it st., was "-unit° th s
Inbrhing at half-past nine o'clock, pursuant to a ij6urnment. at
the I3arnsbury Castle Tavern, M'ilson-street, Barnsbury Park,
Islington, before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a respectable Jury.
The prisoners were brought in the prison van from the New
Prison, Clerkenwell, at ten minutes after nine o'clock, and
were placed in custody in separate rooms. There was an
immense crowd assembled round the door of the tavern anxious
to catch a glimpse of the prisoners. The inquest-room and
the stairease, and every room in the lower part of the tavern,
wore crowded. Evzry facility of ingress and egress was, how-
ever, afforded to the reporters, and the accommodation in the
hiqueit room was as good as the circumstances would admit of.
We feel bound to notice this fact in consequence of the accusa-
tions ithich have heretofore been brought against the Worthy
Coroner, we believe most unjustly, of being inimical to pub-
licity, and having an especial enmity to reporters.
The names of the Jury having being called over,
The CORONER asked Mr. Inspector Miller if he had any
other person in custody.
Inspector Miller—No, Sir.
The CORONER. Have you any other persons under sus-
picion ?
Inspector Millen—Yes, Sir.
The CORONER.—Have you discovered the person alluded to
at the last examination ?
Inspector Miller.—No, Sir.
The Conowun.—Have you reason to think that that person
has absconded ?
Inspector Miller.—No, Sir.
The CORONER.—Hag any additicnal evidence been dis-
covered respecting Mrs. Jarvis?
Inspector Millen—Only one trifling circumstance relativ.. io
a stocking which was found at Jarvis 's cottage.—He further
stated, that the mother of Mrs. Jarvis was present.
The CORONER said that he had received a letter from one of
the medical gentlemen who had given evidence,but whom lie did
not see present at that moment, and asked what was the nature
of the evidence given at Hatton-garden with regard, to the
stains.

Inspector Miller.—The medical gentleman stated that the
stains were those of blood and dirt, and that the bag had been
stained recently.
The ConowEß.—Have you stated to the Jury all the circum-
stances of su.pieion which have caused her to be committed,
because whatever evidence has been produced at Hatton-garden
ought to be produced before the Jury on this inquiry?
Inspector Miller—All the evidence has been produced except
that of Ellis, who saw Gould and Mrs. Jarvis together on
the morning of Tuesday, after the murder, He will be
here in the course of the morning.
The CORONER said the case with regard to Mrs. Jarvis
would be concluded before Gould's case was proceeded with
further.
Mrs. • Jarvis was then called in, and took her seat at
the bottom of the table.
The CORONER then proceeded to examine Mrs. Jarvis's
mother.
Ann Tomkins being sworn, deposed that she was the wife of
Thomas Tomitins, and lived in Kilburn-lane, Kensall-green.
Is the mother of Mary Ann Jarvis, who is now preseht. She
sent a loaf to her daughter on the day of the Queen's marriage.
She sent it in a little coarse bag. Witness's memory is very
bad in consequence 3f illness. She went to her daughter's
in the evening afterwards. She sent the leaf by her son
William Tomkins, who is eleven years of age. He took
the loaf in a coarse bag which had formerly been
stained with oil colours, from a paper stainer. The name of
the paper stainer is Harwood. It was used as an apron by her
child, and afterwards made into a bag. The strings were
coarse apron strings. She had not since had the bag returned ;
should know it again. The bag produced is the bag ; has no
doubt whatever on the subject.
The CORONER said that since Thursday the bag had been
examined by one of our most distinguished chemists, Mr. Pro-
fessor Graham, of University College, who would give to the
Jury some mast important evidence relative to the nature of
the stains on the bag
Mr. Thomas GRARA3/ resides in Torrington-square; is
Professor of Chemistry, in University College, London, and
is the author of several works on Chemistry. Has had this
bag in hig possession—received it on Saturday fer-enoori. Has
s bjected the marks found on the bag to a proper chemical exa-
mination. The conviction on witness's mind is that the
stains are not the stains of blood. Has not the smallest
doubt on the subject. The stains are stains of iron, from iron
paint, or colour, or from a paint in which iron formed an in-
gredient. Several persons were present during the examina-
tion. Dr. Rees and several other gentlemen were present.
Witness's assistant was present, he is an able chemist; there
was not one chemist present who had any doubt as to the stains.
If blood had been present, the albuminous portion would have
been washed out by cold water, but this was not the case, there
was none washed out. Strong muriatic acid was applied,
which would presently change the red colour of blood stains
to black—the effect in this case was that it brightened the red
colour instead of destroying it. By means of boiling muriatic
acid the colour was dissolved, and ascertained to be iron, and
the acid, which was colourless before, yellow, andgave Prussian
blue, and Prussiate of pota.ss, which was an indication
of the presence of iron. All the stains on the bag were of
the same character. Has heard the evidence of the last
witness, and believes it to be true as•to the nature of the
stains left.
The CORONER said that, to show the accuracy of Professor
Graham, he would mention that that gentleman, before he
had been sworn, had stated that the stains were produced by
paint, of which iron formed an ingredient.
The CORONER—Mrs. Jarvis it has been stated in evidence
that you were seen talking to Air. Templeman on the afternoon
before the murder. Have you anything to say on that subject?
Ycu are not bound to say anything unless you like.
Mrs. Jarvis—Nothing, Sir. It was usual for me to speak to
him as I passed. I had no object in doing so. I stayed only a
very short time, and went back to my own cottage.
In answer to a question from the Coroner,
Mrs. Jarvis stated that she washed for Gould. She was
asked if she wished to state anything further, to which she re-
plied in the negative, and the case as against her being con-
chided, she was removed in custody.
Go,ild was then introduced, and the Coroner proceeded to
examine

-----
James Rogers, who repeated the evidence he had given at
Hatton-garden, as to Gould's visiting him on the Friday be-
fore the murder, for the purpose of borrowing two screws and
a darkey.
In answer to a question from the Coroner, the witness said
that he had stated the whole of the conversation, and that Gould
did not state for what purpose he wanted those implements.
His brother-in-law, William Crane, was present at the time,
but witness cannot say if ho overheard any of the conversation.
Hannah Morgan lent Mr. Templeman 31. on the morning of
the 16th instant. Is the wife of William Morgan. and lives at
No. 18, Skinner-street, Somerstown. It was eleven o'clock in
the morning of the 16th when she last saw Mr. Templeman.
She gave it to him in 14 half crowns and 25 shillings, and he
expended one shilling in the purchase of a piece of mutton.
He had a cold, and could scarcely speak. Ile said he wanted
to make up some money. He showed witness nn money at
that time. Some silver has been shown her by the police, but
she cannot identify it. She had one shilling stamped with
a figure of 3, but does not know whether she gave it to him or
not. Has not heard that there is such a shilling among this
money. Does not know whether she has the shilling at home,
or not. He put the money in his pocket. He seemed poorly
and low-spirited. •
.he money was examined by Inspector Miller, in the pre-
sence of the Cotoner's Jury, and also of the witness, but no
such marked coin was discovered.
Her husband walked with the deceased as far as the Perseverance
public-house, and then left him. Deceased had frequently be-
tore borrowed money of witness. lie dined with witness that
day, and went home at half -past three o'clock.
In answer to a juryman, the witness stated that the deceased
did not say he was going to pay away any of the money that
afternoon.

Jane Lovett is married, and lives in Northam's buildings,
Somers-town. Knew deceased, and saw him on the 16th
of March at noon. Witness was one of his tenants, and
there was a balance of 51. due to him, which he came, by

appointments to receive. Witness paid it him—one hal
sovereign, five or six half-crowns, and the remainder in ski
lings and sixpences. He was only at witness's house about
five minutes. Has been shown money by the police but can-
not identify any of it.
The CORONER.—AIIen was examined at Hatton Garden re.
specting a piece of wood which he had missed.
Inspector Miller—There was nothing in that. The piece o
wood was not of the same description of wood as the splinter
found in the deceased's cottage.
In misty. r to inquiries from the Coroner, it appeared that the
policeman had found 41. 19s. in the stocking, and 9'. on the
person of Gould, making altogether 5/. as.; it appeared that
Mr. Templeman had received 61., from which deducting Is.
1 there would i emain in his possession 51. 195., which would leave
a balance of I Is. difference between the money found by the
1
policeman and that in the possession of the deceased on the
londay.
Inspector Miller said he took the shoes produced from
Gould's feet at the station-house on Wednesday, the 17th of
March. Gould said he had bought them in Kent-street, Bo-
rough. Witness asked what he had done with his old ones,
Gould said he had thrown them away. Gould did not say
where he had thrown them away.
Ellis not having yet arrived, the Coroner desired Inspector
Miller to inquire if there were any other persons who bad evi-
dence to give respecting the death of John Templeman.
Inspector Miller returned, and said there was no further
evidence.
The CORONER—GouId, are you desirous that my one
should be called and examined.
Gould—No, Sir.
The CORONER—Are you desirous of making any statement,
or of offering any observations to the Jury on the evidence.
Whatever you say will be taken down in writing, but you need
not make any statement unless you like. This is the last op-
portunity you will have of saying anything before this Court.
Gould said he would rather not say any thing at present, and
he was then removed.
Mrs. Jarvis was then re-called.
John Ellis examined.—Witness livesat Madras-place, Hollo-
way, and is a painter. Saw Gould and Mrs. Jarvis on Tues-
day, the 17th. Had never seen Gould before. Has seen him
since at Hatton-garden, and is sure he is the same man.
Gould was standing at the bar with Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis when
witness identified him. Witness pointed him nut as distin-
guished from Jarvis, as being the man he had seen with Mr.,
Jarvis on the occasion in question. They were walking to-
ether when witness saw them. It was near Prospect-cottage,
Sack-road, that witness saw them walking. No one was there
but her child. It was about a quarter after two that witness
saw them. Witness asked Mrs. Jarvis if she had been at home.
She said, No, but she was going. Witness had seen her at
nine the same morning with her child. She was then going
from home. At a quarter after two she was going towards her
home. Witness said to her, there is a little bitwofiteaessstirsaiind
your village. She made answer, "Is there?"
some old gentleman next door had been murdered, on which
she asked if it was Mr. Templeman, and witness said it was.
as
The CORONER—Be so good to
srepeat the
going words
home. th a t
passed again, after you had asked her if
Witness—To tell you truth, not liking to mention the mur-
der, as so many people were assembled there, fearing it might
hurt her feelings, I waited some time, and said to her, " 'lh
old gentleman next door tomryour house is urdered." She
said, " What, you mean fempleman ?" NA itness said.
" Yes;" and Mrs. Jarvis said " Then I will go home."
To Gould, who was close by her side, she said, " Then you had
bitter not go home now." He said, " Oh, yes, I shall ; I
shall go and see all about it." She then bade witness good by,
and Gould and Mrs. Jarvis walked away together towards
Barnsbury Park.
Mrs. Jarvis said that she said, " You had better come
with me."
Mrs. Jarvis then withdrew.
In answer to an intimation from the foreman of the Jury,
Mr. WaICL EY said—Well, gentlemen, if you have made up
lour minds ; it is useless for me to go through the evidence ;
you had better perhaps consult together.
The Jury afteri short consultation res _ailed their seats when
the depositions were read over to them.
The Cortormi, in reading the evidence of Mr. Roe, the
surgeon, said that the lividity observed in the hands and wrists
of the deceased proved that the hands must have been tied dur-
ing his lifetime, and wh.le the blood w:l5 circulating, as the
lividity was produced b) the cord_ impeding the return of the
blood to the heart. Had the cord been tied after death, these
would have been no difference in the appearance of the
