MILITIA.

The Royal Wiltshire Militia, Colonel Lord Me-

ARTILLERY-P6R-INDIA.

- The splendid screw steamship Australasia, Cap-
tain J. Scesle3, belonging to the Royal Mad Com-
pany, left Southampton yesterday afternoon with
a heavy mail for Malta, Egyrt, Adar, Ceylon, the
Australian and New Zealand colonies, 30,3201. in
specie, jewelry value 2,0001., and a till cargo, in-
cluding a large quantity of military stores. She
also takes out a total of about 150 passengers
(a few of whom j.)in the ship ;via Marseilles),
among whom are 13 officers of the Royal
Artillery, and a number of medical men attached
to the army, on their way to India by the
overland route. Two companies of the Royal Ar-
tillery, numbering 221 rank and file, also embark
by this steamer for the same destination.
The troop, comprising 3 officers and 110 men of
the 6th company 11th battalion, and 6 officers and
111 men of No. 3, Capt., J. E. Thring's company,
2d battalion, Royal Artillery, atrived at Southamp-
ton at mid-day on Sunday by railway from Wool-
wich. They embarked immediately on board the
Australasian, which went out of dock between 4 and
6 o'clock the same afternoon, enthusiastic cheers
being exchanged between the troops, and the spec-
tators who had assembled in the docks to witness
their embarkation. The gallant ship -lay to in the
river off the West India buoy till yesterday, when
she received the remainder of her mails and sailed
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The following is a list of the at tillery officers who
have sailed in the Australasian :—Lieut.-Col. E.
Maberly, commanding • Lieut. G. J. Smartt aoting
adjutant ; Lieut. T. B. Strange, acting quartermas-
ter ; Capt. J. E. Thring and W. N. Waller; Lieuts.
R. C. Smith, H. A. Tracey, J. Robertson, S. C.
Kyle, E. de L. Tarleton, and E. C. Cuthbert ; As-
sibtant-Surgeon A. R. mith.

Among the passengers is Mr. C. Wetton, who
alcornpanies the troops as far as Suez, for the pur-
pose of superintending the arrangements for their
c anfort during the transit on the part of the loyal
Mail Company. Mr. Wetton is going out to Aus-
tralia for two years to undertake the superintend-
ence of :he mail service by the Suez route with the
whole Australian colonies, and to get the system
into good working order. Pending the arrangement
of this service thepreparationsfor the establishment
of the Panama route will necessarily remain in
abeyance. Having lately returned from Australia,
where he has been engaged ou a special mission
connected with this question, and having had great
experience in matters of steam navigation, there is
every probability that, under Mr. Wetton's guid-
ance, the postal service with Australia will now
work better than it has hitherto done—a deside-
ratum alike to the colonists and the inhabitants of
the mother country.
Mr. G. A. Arney, late of the Western Circuit,
and Recorder of the city of Winchester, also goes
out by this steamer, to enter upon his duties as
Chief Just ice of New Zealand,—a position for which
his qualities as a scholar and a gentleman well befit
him. He joins the Australasian at Malta, via
Marseille3.

The departure of this noble vessel excited great
interest, and several of the directors of the It',Tat
Mail Company were among the numerous stall' of
visitors who witnessed her leaving port. The
whole of the arrangements had been completed iu
the mast satisfactory manner under the direction of
Capt. W. Vincent, the company's superintendent,
and nothing seemed wanting to insure the comfort
and well-doing of all on board during her voyage
up the Mediterranean.

FORT GEORGE AND TEA HiGLILAND

DEPOTS.

It has been already hinted by one of the morn-
ing correspondents that the depots of Highland
regiments, the service companies of which are in
India, and which are at present stationed in Aber-
deen, might be profitably centred in Fort George,
while the militia regiments of some of the adjacent
counties might be raised and stationed in Aberdeen,
Perth, Stirling, &c., whence the Highland depots
might be l!berally supplied with voluuteerp.
This would undoubtedly be an excellent plan,
one not only convenient and profitable to Goveri,
merit, but at _the same time advantageous to the
recruit. _ _

FURTHER RISE IN TEE BANK RATE

--- -
entitled to.r egard are the Bank directors subjected
to the accusation of acting with undue harshness.
The pressure upon the institution for money last
week, and es pecially on Saturday, was of the most
extraordinary r—indeed, almost unprecedented—
kind, and the .stock of coin and bullion was likewise
seriously tren died upon, partly for exportation, and
pastly to supply the necessities, or relieve the
anxiety, of coma try bankers. The drain moreover
continuesalmost unabated up to this day. The de-
mand for discount :accommodation at the Bank yester-
day was extreme:ly heavy, and almost equal to that
witnessed on Sat urday. In bar gold, only about
8,0001. was to-day withdrawn from the institution,
but we are assured, on good authority, that a sum
of 400,000 sovereigns is already actually engaged
for shipment to the United States by an early op-
portunity. This is naturally to be looked for as a
result of the fall the American exchange, which
has now made sucl progress as to allow of a profit
on remittances of gold to that side. The American
advices at the same time indicate how confidently
houses there look to this country for substantial
relief in the shape tof gold. The Bank directors
evidently had no choice but to act as they have
done. They will now probably pause, to await the
result of the measures already adopted, but, should
these prove inadequate to the occasion, they will
not hesitate to make a fresh advance. And here
we would remark that much depends upon the way
in which the mercantile community accept the
present serious crisis. Though there is rauch
ground for anxiety, there is none for alarm, since
the general soundness of the trade of the country
is universally admitted, and the instances of em-
barrassment which are naturally to be apprehended
will doubtless be inadequate to affect our general
position. But if the commercial public persist in
keeping up a needless and extravagant pressure
upon the Bank, for the sake of obtaining money
for which they have at the moment no real need,
they will have themselves to blame if the Bank be
driven in self-defence to further measures of restric-
tion.
• The feeling of uneasiness in the money market is
aggravated by the knowledge of the pecuniary ne-
cessities of the East India Company. It is under-
, stood that the Company are again seeking to
borrow of the Bank, and that the latter have been
compelled to intimate, both to the Company and
to our government that they are no longer in a
position to grant the required accommodation.
This is understood to be the subject of interviews
which have taken place between the Governor and
Deputy Governor of the Bank, and the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. The inference is thus greatly
strengthened that a public loan, guaranteed by the
British government, will come upon the market as
it is in a state to bear the operation. The announce-
ment that public securities at Calcutta have sus-
tained a further considerable fall, and that the
Bank of Bengal has refused to make advances on
the Company's paper for a longer period than 30
days, confirms our view that no reliance can be
placed upon the Indian money market for the pe-
cuniary means which are indispensable to the au-
thorities at the present juncture.
The scene witnessed in the Stock Exchange yester-
day has had no parallel since 1847. The excitement
was intense. Prior to the commencement of official
business transactions took place in Consols at an
advance of per cent. over the closing quotations
of Saturday, a more favourable interpretation being
put in many quarters on certain points of the Indian
Intelligence, including, more especially, the arrival
of some of the expected reinforcements. Upon the
news of the alteration at the Bank, a panic set in,
sales to an enormous amount being pressed. Some
of these were on banking account, rendered neces-
sary by the heavy demand for money, whilst others
were by speculators, including one estimated at
upwards of half a million, to close the account of
an operator for the rise. Amongst the sellers was
a leading jobber, who is occasionally known to ope-
rate for government and the Bank. After an ex-
treme fall of 2 per cent., Consols assumed more
steadiness towards the close, owing partly to bona
fide investments, and partly to purchases to cover
previous speculative sales. The latest official quo-
tations, however, were still 1g per cent. below
those of Saturday, and the market was unsettled
in character.

OF DISCOUNT.

(Prom the Times' City Article)
The Bank of England yesterday raised their rate
of discount from 6 per cent., which was adopted on
on Thursday last, to 7 per cent.
This measure was fully anticipated, and, from the
extent of the applications yesterday, it is doubtful if
a further movement will not immediately be found
necessary. The amount of bullion withdrawn has
been only 9,0001., but it is asserted that 400,0001.
will be despatched to New York and Boston by the
Baltic an 1 Canada on Wednesday and Saturday
next, and, as the Indian exchanges show an adverse
alteration of 1 per cent. at Bombay and 2 per cent.
at Calcutta, it is also anticipated that the shipments
in that direction by the overland mail of the 20th
will be larger than was at one time thought proba-
ble. Wittx these prospects a fresh advance can
scarcely be avoided, arid perhaps we may again sea
the rate at 8 per cent., the highest point it has ever
reached during modern experience, and at which it
stood in October, 1847. In proportion, however,
to the suddenness of the pressure will be the rapi-
dity of the ultimate reaction, and as on that occasion
the rate within a year afteerwarcts went back to 3 per
cent.—there will in the present case be reason to look
for an extraordinary turn off the tide as soon as the
immediate difficulty shall have been completely met.
Notwithstanding the tempti ug rates of exchange at
New York and Calcutta, the transmission of specie
thither under existing circumstances must be a
hazardous speculation, since the question in each
instance is not what may be the apparent profit,
judging from the present adv.ires, but what will
have been the course of the mai•kets in the interval
before the operation can be carried. out. In America
the arrears now due to England Lued the continent
are enormous, and are accumulating every week,
and the moment the panic subsi3es and the in-
fluence of the fortnightly gold arrivals from
California again begins to be felt tie scarcity
of bills upon. us • may be as :remarkable as
their present abundance. In India, likewise, the
falling off in the shipments of produee and the de-
mand upon the Government for payments to
English steam companies for the transport of troops
must exercise a strong effect in restoring more
favourable conditions. There is consequently
nothing to excite apprehension that the disturb-
ance will be protracted. The sole cause for
anxiety is lest the fall of such houses in the provinces
and eLewhere as are unavoidably compromised by
the American failures, and the fluctuations in the
markets for Eastern produce, should beget any
vague terror calculated to lead even to a single day
of general distrust. The belief however, that
the decided action of the Bank has removed all
danger on that account. So well is the effect of a
rapid advance in the rate of discount now under-
stood that when the necessity for it exists a vigor-
ous course of action is at once appreciated. It is
unquestionable that this was the .effect observable
yesterday. When the advance to 7 per cent. was
announced every oneeaw that the wcrk of protection
vas in progress, and the conviction that in case of
need there would be no hesitation in making another
movement established a sense of perfect security.
The funds went down, and there was much un-
easiness respecting the probable fate of the manu-
facturing firms that have sustained losses, but there
was no fright lest a period might be approaching at
which it would be impossible event for perfectly
solvent houses to obtain money on any terms. The
absence of excitement yesterday among the bank-
ing and commercial community afforded a striking
cintrast to the scenes that used to be witnessed
when the true principles which regulate the cur-
rency were unrecognised. If any regret was ex-
pressed it was simply that the rise to 7 per cent.
had not been resolved upon a day or two earlier.
Altogether the feeling exhibited was such as to
excite pride in our healthful system of finance, and
to confirm the impression that, although this shock
from America has come upon us in the midst of the
Indian mutiny, we shall be able to withstand it, so
that its consequences, heavy as they must necessa-
rily be, shall not destroy confidence or interrupt
the general welfare of the country.—Times.

(From the Morning Post City Article.)
There has been almost a panic in the market for
the English funds yesterday, occasioned by the ad-
vance of the minimum rate of interest and discount
to 7 per cent. by the authorities of the Bank of
England. This extreme measure has taken a large
portion of the public by surprise, inasmuch as it
was scarcely apprehended that the position of
affairs was so unsatisfactory as to baduce the Go-
vernor of the Bank to exert the power vested in his
office to advance the rate of interest without wait-
ing, as in the ordinary course, for a resolution of
the Board of Directors. It appears, however, from
the promptitude with which this change has been
made and the extent to which it has been carried,
that the Governor of the Bank considers he has
found, in the position of the affairs of the Bauk at
the close of last week, a sufficient warrant for in-
''.icting on the whole mercantile community of this
country the additional burden of 1 per cent. in the
rate of interest within five days of the time wnen
an advance to 6 per cent. had been made. It is
true that the position of monetary and commercial
affairs in the United States is most unsatisfactory,
and it is equally true that under ordinary circum-
stances a large outflow of bullion would take place
from this country with a much lower rate of profit
than is offered by the state of the exchanges ;
but stilt it may be questioned whether the de-
spatch of bullion tbither will be very large, in
consequence of the feeling of insecurity which
would attend such operations. The disturbed
condition of financial affairs ou the Continent of
Europe more immediately affects us, but it is not-
withstanding open to much debate (upon the data
possessed by the public), whether the evils that
can Scarcely fail to be caused by so merciless an ad-
dition to the rate of "discount" as 11 per cent.,
within leas than a week, will be compensated by
the results expected to follow so serious and so de-
t eenined a step. For the past three years we have
had a periodic return of these extreme measures on
the part of the Bank. The mercantile community
have, however, been able to support the pressure
with some degree of impuoity hitherto, from the
high state of credit concurrently maintained, and
the facility with which commodities were absorbed
by the chief markets of the world. If the rate of
profit on our exports was but small, it was compen-
sated for to a considerable ex ent by the profits
realised on imports. The monetary pressure in
other countries, although severe, was not excessive,
and not nearly so general. India and the United
States always offered a safe outlet for our produc-
tiov.s' and capital could always be raised at the
marketrates for carrying on commercial operations.
Money, though dear, was easy. Unfortunately
now the case has somewhat changed. India is dis-
tracted by a widespread rebellion, and trade in a
great measure is paralysed. In the United States
the agonies of a commercial crisis are being endured,
and although there is reason to hope that the
worst has passed, it must be clear to all that com-
mercial confidence will not be so readily restored
as it has been torn down, and that it will perhaps
be months before credit will be even partially re-
established. It is therefore impossible to look
upon the advance of the rate of interest and dis-
count to-day but as a most grave and serious step.
We cannot now ship goods ad libitum to India and
America, and thus onegreat source of the available
commercial capital of this country is materially
narrowed ; and, although this is not an unmixed
evil, it is one which will for the time seriously
cripple the commercial world, and doubtless
bring down many firms of standing and respec-
tability. The general complaint is that money
is not to be had ; bankers are curtailing their ad-
vances and discounts as rapidly as prudenee will
permit, and preparing for the next phase in the as-
pect of commercial affairs. This is undoubtedly an
uncomfortable situation, but much is to be hoped
from tho prudence of the mercantile community,
and the facilities which it must be the desire of all
bankers and capitalists to afford in the supply of
capital for legitimate business. Seven per cent, is
a giant in th path, and it will require almost un-
paralleled caution and consummate judgment on the
part of the public to avoid the perils which are so
thickly strewn on all side,. The " cureency sys
teen" of the late Sir R. Peel awl the present Lord
o,erstone is again on trial, and, so far as can be
foie ern, with but little better chance of working
than in the eventful
membered, it was found r 1847, when, it will be
necessaryre-
to suspend its
operation by the Government after whichaffairs
immediately Unproved. It is'to be
hoped, how-
ever, that the entire absence of anything like wild
speculation wall hare the effect of preventing a re-
petition of such disasters as characterised that
period, and in that there is good ground for look-

THE "TIMES" CRIMEAN FUND.

(From the Times.)

The duties of a trustee are not unfrecinently as
perplexing as they are thankless, especially when
the naturelof the trust involves the distribution of
public money. The records of the Charity Com-
missioners, as well as of other public depart-
ments, contain numberless instances of the failure
of public charities from the mere want of claim-
ants, and the chief difficulty in administering
such funds has usually consisted in bringing to-
gether money devised and the parties for whom
it was intended.

We therefore claim the indulgence of our
readers while we call their attention to the posi-
tion which we ourselves occupy in this impor-
tant capacity, and to the manner in which we
are endeavouring to fulfil its duties.
It will be remembered that during the crisis
of the Crimean campaign a large sum of money
was placed at our disposal by the generosity of
the public for the relief of our sick and wounded
soldiers at the seat of war. The Fund was ad-
ministered by a gentleman eminently qualified
for the task, whom we despatched to the scene of
action, and whose judicious arrangements ren-
dered it an invaluable boon to our suffering
countrymen. The success of Mr. Macdonald's
mission encouraged a renewal of the experiment,
and a second fund was raised with the same be-
nevolent object. By the time, however, that our
second Commissioner, Mr. Stowe, reached his
destination he found that the arrival of Govern-
ment supplies had in a great measure superseded
the .iecessity for voluntary assistance ; and his
untimely death, which occurred shortly after-
wards, prevented the oompletion of the work in
which he had engaged, and placed at our dis-
posal a large surplus of the Fund which he had
been commissioned to administer. How to dis-
pose of this surplus has caused us no little em-
barrassment. The immediate object fi.fr which it
was raised having been satisfied, how were we
to decide among the crowd of candidates who
might app'y for a share of the balance ? On the
one hand, it appeared to useless to fritter
away a large sum in petty contributions to a multi-
tude of objects, and, on the other, hazardous to
embark the whole in a single enterprise, however
specious and attractive. After much deliberation,
we have decided upon the following plan, which
appears to us to combine the advantage of minis-
tering to a pressing emergency with that of per-
manent usefulness :—We have ascertained from
the bankers with whom the Fund was lodged that
the balance in their hands amounts, with interest,
to 10,9081. 18s. 6d. Of this sum we propose to
hand over 3,647/. 15a. Bd. to the Committee for
Administering the Indian Relief Fund, with the
express understanding that three fourths of it shall
be applied to the relief of the widows and orphans
of soldiers who may fall in the present war, or of
wounded or invalided soldiers who have no other
means of support. The remainder of the balance
we propose to assign to the Governors of the new
Military Hospital at Netley, for the purpose of
providing an auxiliary fund for the general pur-
poses of the hospital. We trust that this arrange-
ment will in the main be deemed satisfactory by
those whose bounty placed so large a fund at our
disposal, though we are perfectly sensible that, in
adopting it, we may have overlooked other objects
of charity which iu the eyes of some persons may
possess equal or superior claims. •

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has, it appears,
cast a longing glance at the magnificent fund col-
lected for the purpose of affording relief to the suf-
ferers by the mwiny in the East Indies, and has
made certain advances to get the disposal of the
same into-his own hands. There is a bold effrontery
in the whole proceeding that almost takes away
one's breath, and we positively placed no credence
in the rumour that such an advance had been made,
when -it first it reached our ears. We did not be-

a declining revenue and an increasing ex-
Peladiture Sir George Cornewall Lewis certainly
Goes not possess claims either to public confidence
or even respect. Under his direction our finances
have got into a very disordered condition, and what
with the expenses of Persian, Chinese, and Indian
waxs, we shall require the assistance of some able
financier to extricate us from rapidly accumulating
difficulties. Moreover, in financial matters, Govern-
ment interference seldom leads to beneficial results.
Those in authority generally buy in the dearest and
sell in the cheapest market, and very keldo na get the
worth of their money. And of all men iu the
world the Whigs have committed the greatest
blunders in finance ; in fact, they have
generally come into power with an increasing and
quitted it with a declining revenue. This was the
case in 1841 and 1852. The tide of prosperity has
already begun to turn, and doubtless the deficiency
will ere long become considerable. How the nation
is to support these rapidly increasing expenses with
a revenue that shows signs of a falling off is a ques-
tion that will excite some controversy in the next
session of Parliament, though we do not entertain
very sanguine hopes that a satisfactory solution
will be obtained.

The people both here and in India have nobly
performed their duty, while the authorities both
here and in India have failed miserably. A large
fund has been raised by private benevolence, and
to permit the control to be transferred to public
functionaries who have not even fulfilled their own
duties properly would be an act of madness. Had
the Committee of the Indian Relief Fund fallen
into
.this grave error, it must have had'ithe effect of
checking the generosity of the nation, and but few
additional contributions would have been received.
The mismanagement of the Crimean expedition
shows ho cv Ministers perform such duties, and we
imagine that even upon that subject some rather
perplexing questions might even now be pro-
pounded. Probably, in the next session of Parlia-
ment some member of the house will cause an
inquiry to be instituted into the quantity of
sLuros, tiTc., sent out, the quantity received
in the Crimea, the quantity brought back
to England, and the quantity sold at an enormous
depreciation, It would also be worth the while of
any ardent successor of Joseph Hume to endeavour
to ascertain what had been done with some of these
surplu's stores. It is evident that the people not
yet know the real extent of the mismanagement
and waste practised during the Crime3n struggle,
and it is not altogether improbable that additional
revelations may lead to a revival of that subject.
Should the Chancellor of the Exchequer's rash at-
tempt to obtain the administration of this fund lead
to further exposure of ministerial mismanagement
and neglect, none will question the justice of the
retribution thus speedily awarded.
The subscription list to the fund for the relief of
the sufferers by the mutiny in India presents a
noble appearance, and will afford seasonable relief
to thousands. It has, moreover, afforded the Em-
peror of the French, the people over whom he
rules, the Ottoman Sultan, and others, an opportu-
nity of displaying their friendship and good will
towards England. The relief has been most
i prompt,
and no abatement must as yet take place in the
.
efforts of private benevolence. There a wide field
for its operations, and unless subscriptions continue
to flow in freely the work cannot be done effectually.
The administrators of the fund have given one cer-
tain proof of earnestness and ability by the way in
which they have rejected the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's advances. This act on their part cer-
tainly entitles them to the confidence of the public;
and we have no hesitation in asserting that they will
not abuse the trust which has been placed in their
hands.

prisoner and the knife with which it is supposed he
attempted suicide. The prisoner had upon his

I Thomas Battenbury, parish constable of Bathford,
received information of the murder about 10 minutes
before 9 on Saturday from Walter May, the other
parish constable. He said there was murder at War-
leigh, and I (witness) must go immediately. I went
immediately to deceased's house, and saw Mr.
Edwards, the surgeon, dressing a wound in Andrew
Border's abdomen. Mr. Edwards said, " I don't
want you here ; go in search of the men who did
it." Thomas May and his son Walter told me that it
was Thomas Miller who had done it. I went to
Thomas Miller's house, and the people inside told
me that he was not there. I then went to Mrs.
Bradfield's adjoining, and saw the dead body of
Sarah Border lying on the floor. I afterwards went
to a garden which I have been informed belonged
to Daniel Hancock. There I heard a noise, and, on
approaching nearer I found Thomas Miller lying on
his face covered with blood. On raising him up I
searched his right hand jacket pockets, and found
the razor now produced. There was no blood upon it.
I then, assisted by Thomas May, Mr. Skrine's wood-
man, brought the prisoner near to his house and
placed him in a chair, and stayed with him till Mr.
Edwards, the surgeon, came, who gave us orders
to take him into the house. Mr. Edwards then
dressed his wounds. The prisoner said that he cut
Mr. and Mrs. Border with the large knife and him-
self with the small one. Prisoner was then sensible.
I have known him for five years, and I believe him
to ba of sound mind. Have never known him con-
fined in a lunatic asylum. Bs has been a quiet man,
and as parish constable I never have had reason to
complain of him. I took him into custody, and
charged him with the murder of Border and his
wife. After the prisoner was in bed he said to me
that Mr. Border had come to him with his (pri-
soner's) large case knife and threatened to rip him
up, and he did cut him in the belly, and he (pri-
soner) cut him. I asked him if he knew he was
dead, meaning Border, and prisoner replied " No,
be is not dead." I then said, " Why did you strike
his wife ?" He repli.a, T struck her with my arm
like that (moving his hated at the same time towards
his head), but I did not kill her, and I do not be-
lieve she is dead." I told him she was dead, and
he made no reply. In the course of the night he
said he had not injured either of them. He did not
appear to be the worse for liquor. During the
night the prisoner was delirious, and charged me
once with cutting his belly.
Daniel Hancock, labourer, in the employ of Mr.
Sk rine, deposed—On Saturday evening at 5 o'clock
I came home with the prisoner from the farmyard
wh-re we bad been at work. He seemed very de-
jected, and I asked him what was the cause. He
replied, " They are all against me, and want to
person me." I asked him who they were, and for
what cause they wanted to do so, and said " Is it
me ?'' He replied it was some of them down there,
but he didn't know who. I said to him, " You do
seem to me ranged,' and I shall go and tell your
mother." We thee separated. I went into my
ho ise ; be went into his. I then went to the farm
and told his mother she had better come down and
take care of him. I have known the prisoner for nine
years in Mr. Skrine's service, where he has been
for a longer period. He has been quiet, but flighty
at times. He never appeared a dangerous charac-
ter, and never was in confinement, to my know-
ledge. Do not know the reason he was in this low
desponding way. Never knew him to commit any
act of violence before.

DOUBLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED

Coroner—Now. tell
ms about the act of violence
he committed on Saturday eight.
Witness—l was seated by my own fire between 8
and 9 o'clock, had my
Loots off, and was going to
bed, when I heard a scream. My wife, who was
outside, said, "Daniel, Come out.' I put my boots
on, and went out and saw Sarah Border lying down
on the ground. There were my wife, Jane Han-
cock, and Eliza and Elizabeth Bradfield standing
by her. Some one said, "Tom Miller had done it."
I ran after Torn Miller
and hallowed out, "Tom,
Tom." I then heard Border say, " Daniel, Daniel,
do come and help me ;
Tom Miller has been and
stabbed me." I went and found Border standing
in the lane doubled up. I then put my hands
round his middle to keep him from falling, and
took him home assisted by Mr. Hurd, the gardener.
Deceased said, " Where is my dear wife ?" and bid
me go and seek for her. I then went to her and
found she was dead. The knife produced is the pro-
perty of Thomas Mille% I have noticed him at
times flighty. I mean 1y that he acted more like a
bay than a man, riding donkeys backwards, instead
of forwards, and acting in a foolhardy man-
ner. I have seen Mrs. Border at Miller's house se-
veral times. I believe they were living on neigh-
bourly terms. I never heard any one joke him
about the murder at Leigh-woods.
The Coroner—Did you. ever hear any one say he
was like the murderer—that's the point ?
Witness—No, sir.
By a Juror—l fancied he was not well on the
Friday night. On the morning of the murder I
heard my wife say that the prisoner had been ill all
night, and that he was light headed.
Jane Handcpck then deposed to calling her hue-
bind, and o'her facts previously sworn to by the
former witness.

SUICIDE.

A man and his wife were murdered and an at-
tempt at suicide was made by the murderer on
Saturday night about three and a half miles from
Bath. The scene of the murders is a picturesque
spot, situate in the parish of Bathford, upon an
estate inhabited by Mr. H. D. Skrine, and known
by the name of Warleigh•house. The victims are a
man and wife, named Andrew and Sarah Border,
of the respective ages of 25 and 29. The husband
was in, the service of Mr. Skrine as groom, and re-
sided with his wife in a cottage adjacent. The mur-
derer, whose name is Thomas Miller, aged 23, also
worked as labourer upon the farm, and lived In one
of a block of cottages situated about 400 yards from
the residence of his victims. The following is a sum-
mary of the particulars, connected with this horrible
tragedy. It was stated by several persons in the
neighbourhood that since the committal of the late
murder at Leigh-woods, and which was,fully re-
ported in The Sun at the time, several conversa-
tions had taken place between the murderer and
his victims in reference to that tragedy, and the
former had been taunted by-the two latter with
being like the unfortunate woman's murderer.
This, it is said, preyed much upon his mind, pro-
ducing a state of insanity which at times rendered
him almost dangerous. On the day previous to
which the deed was committed Miller had been suf-
fering from ill-health, and was visited on Saturday
evening by Border and his wife, for the purpose of
inquiring whether or not he had recovered. As
soon as they arrived at the house they opened the
door, and found Miller sitting in the kitchen, and
directly inside the door. After asking him how he
was Miller jumped up and rushed towards the door,
and with a knife fatally stabbed his two visitors.
Tue mother of the assassin, hearing some one at
the door, came from downstairs, and was partially
an eye-witness of the horrible scene. The murdered
man ran into the lane adjoining and the woman
staggered a short distance into the garden, when
she fell backwards. Intelligence was immediately
conveyed to the house of Mr. Skrine, and the butler
sent at once for medical assistance. As soon as pos-
sible Mr. C. Edwards, surgeon of Batheaston, was
in attendance. He found the murdered man at the
cottage dangerously wounded, but in a sensible
stat?. Upon examination the surgeon found Border
had received a severe gash in his abdomen, which
had penetrated through the trousers, permitting a
large portion of the bowels to protrude. The woman
was discovered a few yards from the door, lying
u non her back, with her head against a border stone.
She was quite dead. She had received a stab in the
left breast, and the back of her skull was fractured.
Every attention was then paid by Mr. Edwards to
the murdered man, but he died in about two hours
afterwards. Search was in the meantime made for
Miller, and after some trouble he was discovered
lying against the wall at the end of the garden with
his throat cut, and a quantity of blood over his per-
son and upon the ground. There was little blood in
the locality in which the woman was found, which
might be partially accounted for by the inclemency
of the weather, the rain having fallen for some con-
siderable time. Search was then made, and a long
clasp knife wasfound under a chair in the room with
a quantity of blood upon the blade, and with which
there is little doubt the murders were committed.
After taking Miller into custody he was removed to
his house, and upon further examination it was
found that he had received a stab in the abdomen.
Both wounds were at oncesown up byMr. Edwards.
A. small penknife was afterwards found in the gar-
den, with which it is supposed the murderer at-
tempted suicide. Information was then conveyed
to Mr. Fry, coroner, who held an inqu at yesterday
upon the bodies at a room adjoining the house in
which deceased lived.

Sarah Rippin, wife of hates Rippin, coachman
to Mr. Skrine, then deposed :—During the week
before the murder I saw Thomas Miller. He com-
plained of having a cold and being unwell. On the

Border were laid in the road in fits. I gave
her the lantern and the* I saw Heard and Hand-
cock bringing Mr. Border home, who said " I am
a dead man." I stayed Withhim an hour while
they went for the doctor. He said he was dying
and asked me to pray for him. I said, "How did
it happen ?" and be said, " Tom did it," meaning
Millar. He thou said, "He has served her the
same." By her he meant Mt s. Border' for he
several times asked for his poor wife. He kept
praying earnestly till Mr. Edwards came, at a
quarter past 9 o'clock.

- Conway Thomas Edwards, surgeon, deposed.—l
reside at Batheaston. I was sent for on Saturday
last by Mr. Baylis, Mr. Skrine's butler, to attend
in Warleigh-lane a man who had been stabbed,
and was told that the man who murdered him
was supposed-to be about the Lane. I was ordered
to go to the second lodge in the lane, and I did so:
I got there about a quarter past nine o'clock, and
saw a man lying on the floor of the house whom I
ascertained to be Border, the groom at Mr.
Skrine's. There appeared to be on his abdomen
a mass of blood and intestines. The upper part of
his trousers was saturated with blood, as also were
his shirt and flannel waistcoat. On examining the
ma s of whit I supposed to be the intestine, and
fin.iing that it was so, I cut down his trousers so as
to be enat.iLAl to slip them off without much
ciilty. I then searched for the wound through
which the intestines had protruded, and found an
incised wound. There was not much bleeding at
it was a large
th it time. I examined the intestines, and found
mass of the small intestines which
protruded. In about ten minutes I succeeded in
returning the intestines. Deceased was alive at
that time. I united the incision by sowing. Mr.
Edwards then deposed to the treatment adopted
by him for the preservation of Border's life, and
finding that he was fast sinking witness said,
" Who on earth has done this ?" and he replied;
" Tom." Re (witness) had no doubt that the
knife produced would have inflicted the wound in
deceased's abdomen, and lie had no hesitation in
s tying that such wound produced death.
The, inquest was then adjourned until next day,
anu a post modem examination ordered to be
made of each body.

The coroner having directed the jury to the im-
portance of the case they were to adjudicate upon
proceeded to view the bodies which wt re lying side
by side upon the kitchen floor of their own residence.
The following evidence was then adduced :--

Snperintendent Thomas Morgan, of the county
police, stationed at Weston, nesr Bath, deposed
that he received inforinstion of the murder from.
.Police-constable Waters, of the Bathford constabu-
lary. On arriving at Border's house he fi.uid the
bodies of Border and his w►fe laying on the floor
quite dead. Witness noticed a stab in the able-.
men of Andrew Border and a quantity of blood upon
his stomach. The trowers had bean removed in
front. Also noticed that the woman had been
stabbed just above the left breast. Thera was a
small quantity of blood round the wound. Witness
then want to the residence of Thomas Miller, the
supposed murderer, and proceeded upstairs. Saw
him in bed with a wound in his threat. He was in
the custody of Police-constable Stockton. The pri-
soner was unable to speak and unfit to be removed,
and is so at the present time. Witness went into the
viden and found, or was present when Daniel
Hancock found, a linen bonnet. It bad a cut on
the left side, and was slightly stained with blood.
All) found the knife produced in the prisoner's
room. It was partly opened and stained with
blood. [The knife is a lar4e single-bladed clasp
one, about 5 inches in length in the blade.]
The Coroner—Then, whom do you charge with
this murder ?

Witness—Thomas Miller I charge with the mur-
der of Andrew Blirder and his wife, Sarah B.:,rder.
• Police-conwtable Waters deposed to receiving in-
formation from Robert Baylis, the butler, and pro-
ceeding to the scene of the murdtr. When he eu
terel the deceased room the surgeon was there.
Deceased said, " Oh, 14r. Edward 4, what do you
think of it?" Mr. Edwards replied, "My dear
man, may the Lord have mercy on your soul 1"
Border did not speak afterwards, and died in about
five minutes. Previous. to tilts conversation de-
ceased asked for his poor wife, and shook hands
with George ileard, the, gardener, and said good
bye. Witness also saw Sarah Border lying,dead
in Mrs. Brad4eld'a h9use. Witness then described

THiJ SUPPOSED MUED.O.R.

[The following appeared in a portion of our impression
of yesterday :—]

At 3 o'clock this afternoon an inquest was held on
the remains at the Strand Union Board-room, Bow-
street, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for the city of West-
miuster, and a respectable jury.

A large number of persons were present, and great
interest was manifested in the proceedings.
The jury having been sworn, proceeded to the police
station and viewed the mutilated remains. On their
return

The Coroner called the following witnesses :
James Barber, sworn, deposed—l reside at No. 2,
Lumley-court, Strand, and worked for Messrp. Smith
arid Son, coal merchants, as a labourer. On Friday
morning I was rowing up the river in a
boat from Greenwich, between five and six o'clock in
the morning, and when near Waterloo-bridge I saw the
carpet-bag produced lying on its side on the top of the
third buttress of the bridge. I was about two arches
away from it when I saw it, and called Frank Kilsby'
attention to it. I asked him if he saw anything on the
buttress of the bridge, be said " Yes ; a carpet bag, and
it looks bulky ; make haste and we shall get it." We
went to the buttress and saw a string hanging from it
into the water. We caught hold of it and got it into the
boat, and seeing no one on the bridge we rowed with it
up the river to a barge at Lambeth where we were going.
When on the barge the bag was opened by John Kilsby,
and its contents taken out. I think it was locked. I
was much frightened at seeing it contained only bones
and clothing. Did not take sufficient notice of the con-
tents to be able to identify any of it. The bones and
clothing were replaced, and we rowed ashore and gave
the bag and its contents to the police. It was high
water at the time we found the bag, and it was about
six inches from the water. I don't know if the pre-
•ious tide was higher. I can't say if the bag was wet,
but the clothes in it were. I did not take particular
notice of the leather bottom and sides of the bag to be
able to state if they were wet.

John Kilsby, of Richard-street, Cornwall-road,
Lambeth, lighterman, deposed—Between 5 and 6 o'clock
on Friday morning my brother and the last witness came
to my barge in a boat. Ttiey said they had got a prize.
I told theft% to give it to me, but they did not like to
touch it. I took it out of the boat, agd as it was locked
I forced it open. The clothes produced were in the bag.
The remains were tied up in the clothes with a string
round. The coat was torn up the back and was in
the same state as when we found them. The
clothes were not very wet at the time, they might have
been damp—they became wet by their being put at the
bottom of the boat where there was some water. The
bones I put in a basket, and the clothes I replaced in the
bag. I afterwards gave them up to the police.
C. J. Venee, 96 F, deposed—Shortly after 7 o'clock
on Friday morning I was on duty in the Adelphi
arches when the boy Kilsby came up to me and
told me they had a quantity of things lying
down at the Fox-under-the-hill. I went there and found
the clothes, carpet-bag, and a quantity of bones lying on
he pavement. I examined them ; the clothes were
rather wet—some more than others. They were lying
in a dry spilt. I had the things put into a bag, and
took them to the police station. Their weight was
about a quarter of a cwt. I delivered them at the sta-
tion to Sergeant Buck. I noticed at the time marks of
blood on the shirt and under-shirt, and seven cuts on
the breast of the shirt. Utley are together all in a
cluster.]

By the Coro❑er, to Kiliby—Did you notice these cute?
Kilaby—Yeg.

Sergeant Buck, 5 F, deposed—About 8 o'clock on
Friday morning, James Barber and Frank Kilsby came
to the station in company with Velum. They had a car
pet bag with them, which they said they had found that
morning on one df th© buttresses of Waterloo.bridge.
They described to him how and where they found it, as
above described. Witness examined the contents, and
found that the shirts and one of the coats were
marked with blood. He found cuts in the drawers,
and they all appeared to have been made by
one instrument. He found no marks on the linen by
which they could be identified. He then sent for Mr.
Painter, the divisional surgeon.

Mr. Painter deposed—l reside in Brydges-street, and
am the divisional surgeon. On Friday morning I ww-
called to the Bow-street Police-station about 9 o'clock.
When I arrived I was shown the bag produced and its
contents, a quantity of bones. The clothes produce(
were lying by its side. I took the bones out of
the bag and examined them, and proceeded to fit then,
together. I discovered that all the bones produced be
longed to one individual, forming together a complete
skeleton, with the exception of the head, the whole of
the neck, and seven of the dorsal bones; several portions
of the ribs were missing, likewise the bones of the hands,
feet, lower side of the left clavicle, and lower third of
the left fibula ; most all the bones were sawn into out
or more portions ; the flesh appeared to have been cut
off in a rough haggling manner ; it evidentl3
had not been talon off by a scientific person, or witt
a sharp knife ; portions of flesh only remained, one on
each side of the wrist and one on the left breast, showing
that the deceased had been a vigorous adult. The flesi
adhering to the bones was neither fresh nor in a state of
general decomposition, there being incipient decomposi.
tion only apparent in the left thigh-bone. The capsular
iigament of the hip joint was cut open, and on rotating
the head of the thigh-bone I perceived a strong smelt of
decomposition, and saw several blue marks produced
thereby. The whole of the remainder of the mu,clee
and bones were covered with a saline, gritty Matter like'
salt, and to that I attribute the preservation of the bones
On the surface the flesh was reddish brown, and
when cut into a brighter red, like salt beef. The
whole of the viscera is missing. The second, third.
and fourth ribs of the left side, with a pine,
of the sternum attached, has a stab in it
and exactly corresponding in position and direction (the
direction of the cuts being upwards and downwards) tt
that on the shirt and under shirt. A wound in the flesh
would appear smaller on the linen, though inflicted with
the same instrument. Around the wound a great deal
of blood had extravasated into the tissues, showing that
the wound must have been inflicted during life. Here
blood had infiltrated round the wound to the extent of
about two or three inches. The two or three ribs be-
low were missing, which accounts for the absence
of the stabs as shown in the clothes. All the limbs
were sawn, not broken. Great roughness had been used
in cutting up the body, but generally speaking the
bones were clean cut. There were one or two false cut,,
which showed that a very fine saw had been used. Tie
cartilage of the back bones had been cut in two wher
the division has taken place. On examining the bones
with regard to the sex, I think they belong to a male.
Toe pelvis presents some exceptions to the usual confor-
mation of the male pelvia,the internal measurement being
larger than is usual in the male. There is no deformity
in it. lof course do not swear deceased was not a male.
Judging from the length of the bones, I should think
deceased was about 5 feet 8 inches in height. I found
a great deal of hair adhering to the muscles and bones
of the body, which I now produce. The hair which
belonged to the head is black, or of a very dark colour,
and so is that of the whiskers. I don't think salt would
have altered its colour. Besides these I found
four hairs that, from their length, might possibly
be those of a female. I don't suppose that
they belong to the body, or that it is the body of a
female. I have no doubt the body was cut after the
rigidity of death had set in, from the position of the
remains of the bones in the joints of the knee and thigh,
and the same with reference t ) the left fore-arm. From
the decompeition of the hip j Ant, I should say that s
week must have elapsed since death. I should not be
surprised if the body had been boiled, from the manner
of the contraction of the remaining mueclee. There
was not the least appearance about the remains
of their having been u-ed for anatomical pur
poses. No ono in the slightest degree acquainted witl
anatomy would have cut the body up in such a trouble-
some roundabout manner as this ; but more than that,
the muscles, nerves, arteries, and bones were destroyed
for anatomical purposes.
Henry Errington, toll collector at Waterloo-bridge,
was then examined, and gave similar evidence to that
already published. When the woman passed with
the bag there was no string about it. There
aas nothing remarkable about the woman. She had on
a black bonnet and mantle, and her hair grey, some-
thing like a footman's matted down. She appeared ag i
tated, but did not appear as if she had walked muc,
.iistanc. Ile thought she was hurrying to catch the
,ate train at the South-Western Railway. Her vole,
was gruff and very masculine. She aas a short woman.
It I could see her again in the same dress I think I could
recognise her.
The Coroner said that he did not iuteni to proceed
further then with the inquiry. The matter was in the
bands of the police, and he thought that he could not
lo better than leave it in their hands for the present.
tie should adjourn the inquiry for a fortnight, and by
that time, he bad r.o doubt, through the vigilance of
t e police, they would have some additional evidence of
hicA to proceed with their investigation.

The inquest wad accordingly adjourned till Monday,
the 26th inet., at the came place and hour.
