DOUBLE MURDER AT WALIVORTH.

The Board of Trade have issued an account of the
Customs duties received during the past year as com-
pared with the two preceding years. The subjoined
table shows the total, distinguishing the amounts ob-
tained from the 13 principal articles. In every case an
increase is exhibited. It is to be noticed that the sum
raised from all articles beyond the 13 specified is only
544,9401., and the public will be surprised to learn that
according to a return lately obtained by Mr. ]Swart
there aro still 139 descriptions of goods held liable to
duty which severally yield to the revenue a loss amount
than 10,000/‘ Out of these 139 there are 31 which
do not bring in so much as 201. each. From the
figures for 1855 it appears that ammunition, essence
of spruce', manna croup, and perfumt...d powder contri-
buted 11. each to the national Exchequer

At Lambeth Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Inspector
Young applied to the sitting magistrate, the lion. G. 02
Norton, lot summonses for the attendance of the wit-
nesses at the final examination of Bacon and his wife on
the charge of wilful murder.
Mr. Younge Faid the whole of the witnesses in the
case number •no less than 29.
Since the examination-of the prisoners and the ending
of a coroner's jury in Rutland of a verdict of wilful mur-
der against Thomas Fuller Bacon, for the poisoning of
his mother, Mr. Mitchel, the chief constable for that
county, cal)ed at Litgabeth Police-court with a warrant,
signed by Mr. Rou', the coroner, for the removal of
Bacon to the county gall at Oakhano. Bacon being,
however, in the custody of the governor of Horsemonger•
lane gaol, under re-Examination on the charge of having
killed his two children, all that Mr. Mitchell could do
was to leave the warrant with Mr: Keene as a de-
tainer. For this purpose he proceeded to the prison, ac-
companied by Mr. Young, and when taken into the gaol
yard where Bacon was confined, he at once recognise'
him. The prisoner seemed somewhat alarmed at the
presence of Mr. Mitchell, whom he at once recognised,
and when told,the purport of his visit, he replied, "I am

cient to get up the prosecution, and an application will
be made for the postponemoot of the trial to the next
session, in April. In the meantime the Court of Queen's
Bench will be applied to for the removal of the coroner's
inquisition from the county of Rutland, under what is
known as " Pulmer's Act," so that Bacon may take
bio
trial at the Central Criminal Court on both charges.
The same step will be taken respecting any indictment
that it may be found expedient to prefer before the grand
jury at the next Lincolnshire assiz respecting tho death
