Charge of Murder.

At the Bow-street Police-court yesterday -William
Wallace, described as a punch maker, was charged
before Sir Thomas Henry with having caused the
death of a woman named Elizabeth Jefferies, with
whom he lived, at 4, Taylor's-buildings, Bedford-
bury. Mr. Alfred llarvey, surgeon, of 3, Southamp-
ton-street, Strand, deposed that on Tuesday after-
noon, about a quarter to two o'clock, the prisoner
called at his house and said, " I am afraid that a
woman with whom I have been living is dead."
The witness consented to go to his lodgings in Bed-
fordbury, and on their way there the prisoner said,
" We had both been drinking on Sunday, and dur-
ing a scuffle in the afternoon she fell against a bed-
post:" The prisoner took the witness upstairs into
a third-floor front room, and there he saw a woman
lying dead upon the bed, but still partially warm.
She was dressed, and lying on her back. Both her
eyes were blackened and swollen, so much so that one
of them was quite closed up. The injuries on her face,
which must have been caused by blows, appeared to
have been inflicted about 48 hours previously. She
had been dead about an hour and a half. The witness
advised the prisoner to call in a policeman and state
the whole particulars of what had occurred, and the
prisoner seemed very willing to do so. The body
was removed to the deadhouse, or catacombs under
St.-Martin's Church ; on Wednesday a post mortem
examination was made, and the witness found the
immediate cause of death was the pressure of a clot
of blood the size of a pigeon's egg upon the brain,
and the clot was formed by the vessels injured by an
external blow. He could not say if the injury was
produced by a blow or a fall. Police-constable F
124 and Sergeant F 14 both visited the lodgings
where the body lay, and heard the prisoner say they
had a drunken quarrel and fight on Sunday after-
noon and she fell against the bedpost. On Wed-
nesday, after the inquest, they thought proper to
apprehend the prisoner, who, on the way to the
police station, said the deceased had occasionally
suffered from dizziness and deafness of the left ear,
caused by a fall over the balusters about five weeks
ago. A woman who lived in the same house, named
Kennedy, and who knew the prisoner and deceased ,
had declined to attend, and two other women, com-
pelled to admit the drunken habits of both, declared
the deceased to be " far the worse of the two." Sir
T. Henry said these witnesses were evidently par-
tial to the prisoner, although unable to doily that
he had blackened the woman's eyes and treated her
her brutally. The prisoner was remanded.

MARKETS.—This day.

lIARK:LANE.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-
day was limited. The show of samples was consequently
small, yet the demand for both red and white parcels
was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency.
In foreign wheat, the supply of which was good, only a
moderate business was doing. In prices no change took
place.
Floating cargoes of grain were very moderate.
Both English and foreign barley was a slow sale, but
not cheaper.

Malt was in fair average supply, and moderate request,
at full prices.

The oat trade was inactive. In prices, however, very
little change took place. The imports of foreign oats wero
very large.

Beans and peas changed hands slowly, but at full crUota-

tions.

Flour, seeds, and cakes were very quiet, at late rates.

COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENCE.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The Money Market is very fair at previous quo
tations.

A withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took place at
the Bank of England yesterday.
The Mississippi from New York has arrived with
specie to the amount of about £40,400, and the
Borussia with £15,000.
The following alterations arc exhibited in the
return of the Bank of France, when compared with
that of last week :—An increase has taken place in
the cash in hand of £405,000, in the advances
£28,000, and in the private accounts £BOB,OOO,
While there has be,n a decrease of £700,000 in the
bills discounted, £580,000 in the Treasury balance,
and £260,000 in the notes.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 32 31, and the Consolidated Mort-
gage Bonds at 21 22.
We have seen private letters from Paraguay,
()f very recent date, stating that the army
of Alarshal Lopez was well provided with every
necessary, and able to carry on the war for
any length of time, and that the supplies
e'mning from Bolivia via Corumba were abandoned.
That the commercial treaty lately made between
Bolivia and Paraguay, allowing the former to im-
part almost every article free of duty, had stimu-
lated a great many merchants to profit by this wise
measure of the Paraguayan Government.
It is also reported that the celebrated guerilla
Chief General Saa, who had left Europe in January
last, from St. Nazaire, to proceed, via Panama and
°VAN, to join and head the rebellion of the in-
terior provinces of the Argentine Confederation, has
arrived at his place of destination.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets
during the last few days there has not been much
animation. At the public sales of tea, however,
prices have ruled a shade higher, while sugar has
been in moderate demand, at fully late rates. Coffee
continues in fair request at steady prices, while
rice, owing to the continued limited supply on offer,
fully maintains former values. Tallow has been
dull, and for forward delivery may be quoted a
Shade cheaper.

"ellderfully during the last few days ; grass lands

heat trade (if we except Liverpool, where there
°0 been further purchases for export, giving a
tittle life to the trade) has, under the influence
andweather, become quiet during the week,

accessary to have submitted to some reduction in

ua,ling to make any concession. Foreign arrivals
