Two letters found in the prisoner's pocket, addressed to
his brother in France, ran thus:—

"September 1, 1867.

" My dear brother Alfred, —Excuse me for coming to
trouble you for the last time, after having been, I believe,
nearly four years without giving you any news of me. I
have submitted ditfing the last ..ight mouths to the greatest
miseries, and I cannot, withstiml them any more. I have
taken the resolution during the last fortnight to takeaway
my life. as well as that of my wife, with whom I have been
living thirteen 3 oars, as also that of my children. I have

It is with the greatest regret that I am about to
commit the crime. If in every case I have strength enough

events to accomplish it ; and if there be a God, as many

as my family. I cannot say any more, for it would bo

" LOUIS BORDIER.
" Address Mrs. Snow, 3, Millstead-terrace, Church-
street, Old Kent-road, London."

" London, Sept. 1, 1867.

"After having tried by every means, I have at last de-
cided to take away from me my life, that my poor mother
had so much trouble to preserve, in order that the gentle-
men of the jury who will trouble themselves about me may
not return a verdict, as I believe it is said always, "This
man is insane." I have all my faculties at the moment I
write these few lines. As for the past, I have undergone
during eight months that I have been ill the greatest of
misery without complaint to any one, but seeing that I
can no longer ameliorate my position as well as that of my
family, I have resigned myself to the fate to which I have
condemned myself for this fortnight. I desire to have
time and strength to accomplish my project, for I desire to
leave no ono behind whom people may some day reproach
that his father was a murderer. If these few lines fall
under your eyes, let my comrade at the workshop (Dostel)
know that he will gather the few articles which are at the
workshop, and that he will keep them for himself, as well
as a night shirt, which ho can go and got at the coffee
shop (the Leopard) which I lett there last Saturday.
LOUIS BORDIER:'

The following is the translation of a writing found upon
the mantelpiece : "Having always been a comrade with
those with whom I have worked, I think it is my duty,
before quitting this world, to address to them a last word."
Mr. Inspector Davy, in answer to the magistrate, said
this was all the evidence which it was proposed to adduce.
Mr. Partridge, having cautioned the prisoner in the
usual manner, asked him if ho had anything to say in
answer to the charge.
The prisoner, in a quiet tone, said, "No, sir; I have not."

Mr. Partridge then said it would bo necessary, before
fully committing the prisonor, that the depositions should
be completed, and for that purpose he would stand com-
mitted for a week.

The prisoner was then removed from the court, and a
short time afterwards a cab was procured, in which he was
placed andAeonveyed to Horsemonger-lane Gaol, accom-
panied by gr. Oakes, the gaoler, Sergeant, and other offi-
cers of the court. Upon the cab emerging from the station
yard the crowd surrounded it, and several parties, evi -
dently knowing the prisoner, tried to shake hands with
him. He several times called out, "Good bye for ever."
On the road to the gaol the prisoner maintained the utmost
reticence.

Abandonment of a Ship and Loss of Life.

The Board of Trade have received the following
report from her Majesty's consul at New York,
which was sent to him by the captain of the ill-fated
ship

"New York, August 15, 1867.

4‘ Sir—The ship S. L. Tilley, of Yarmouth, left
Savannah on the 27th of July, with a cargo of pine
timber, bound for London, and a crew of 21 men, all
told. Nothing of importance occurred until the
afternoon of the Ist of August, when in lat. 35 7,
long. 73, the wind increased to a strong gale. At
eight p.m. laid the ship too under lower maintopsail,
the gale still increasing until midnight, when it
blew a hurricane, with heavy rain, at which time
the pinnace was washed off the skids, and the deck
load started ; the fore and maintopgallant masts
went over the side, and the lower maintopsail blew
out of the belt-ropes, the sea making a clear sweep
over her. I called all hands into the poop to pre-
vent them from being washed overboard. At 12.45
a.m. a heavy sea struck the ship on the weather
quarter, twisting the rudder off between the rudder
post and upper band. The ship began to pay off
when the following sea took the ship under the
counter and threw her on her beam ends, washing
overboard the second mate and six men. Cut away
the mizen rigging, when the ship laid about ten
minutes and partly righted, the mainmast going by
the deck. The remainder of the crew were saved
by lashing themselves to the mizen rigging dead
eyes, the wind blowing with greater violence than
ever, accompanied with torrents of rain and a fear-
ful sea. About seven a.m. on the morning of the
2d the rain abated and the mist cleared away suf-
ficiently to see distinctly the outline of the ship,
but the sea still making a complete breach over her.
Found foremast and foretopmast still standing, but
the sail blown to pieces, port side of main rail,
quarter-deck rail, and all the poop beams abaft the
nlizenniast washed away ; rudder completely gone ;
the fore and after cabins cleared of everything ; pro-
visions and water all gone ; the gale and sea de-
creasing. We were still obliged to keep ourselves
lashed to the dead eyes of the mizen rigging, where
we remained until the morning of the 4th inst.,
when we were taken off the wreck by the whaling
barque Union, and were landed on the evening of
the 10th, Captain Rogers having treated us with
every kindness, and did all in his power to relieve
our destitute condition, nothing having been saved
but the clothes the crew stood in. The names of
the men lost are—John Mayne, second mate, aged
27; James Denahay, steward, aged 28 ; Charles
Damp, cook, aged 45 ; Edward Johnson, seaman,
aged 33 ; William Chalmer, seaman, aged 45 ;
William Chalmer, aged 17 ; John White, boy,
aged 17.

TIIE LION. MRS. YELVERTON.—Mrs. (Longworth)
Yelverton was amongst the passengers who sailed from this
port on Saturday last in the City of Washington for New
York. Her luggage was directed " The Hon. Mrs. Yelver-
ton." Her presence on the landing-stage soon became
known, and the lady, whose unfortunate matrimonial
speculation has been so much and so long before the public,
excited considerable interest. Her object in visiting the
United States is, we understand, to give a series of read-
ings, Mercury.
DEATII OF MADAME MUR kT.—Tho sister-in-law
of Prince Lucien Murat, and widow of his elder brother,
has just died in the United States. She was born at Dud-
ley, and was niece, or rather grand-nieco, Gen
diedbecame
on the estate whore her husband had drawn his last breath.
Notwithstanding that the restoration of the Empire in
France naturally showered down titles and dignities. on all
bearing the name of Murat, although her brother and
sister-in-law resumed the title of highness and took up
their positions in the princely rank, Madame Murat, for-
merly Miss Dudley, remained philosophically on her estates
at the other side of the Atlantic, manifesting her greatness
simply by kindness to all around her and by the loftiness
of her spirit and heart.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—The truest
philosophical spirit of inquiry led to the discovery of this
priceless medicine, and the most unselfish labour and ex-
pause have been incurred in bringing so great a boon to
the knowledge and within the reach of the atli cted
throughout the world. Every invalid who can read will
understand the plain directions in his own language which
are folded round the pills, which should be taken in the
doses and at the times distinctly specified therein, while
great attention silotad be paid to diet, and many minor
matters,
