A large business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yester-
day at very mull prices. Speculators took 1,500 bales Ame-
rican, and exporters 500 ; the total sales being 8,000 bales,
viz., 150 Pernam at 54d. to 6d., 50 Bahia at 51d., 240 Ma-
ranham at 51d, 60 Egyptian at 61d. to 7d., 200 Surat at 3d.

The result of the debate in the House of Commons on the
second reading of the Bank Charter Bill has been the subject
of much conversation in the City this morning, and many
complaints are made that the Government will not concede
two of the points so much asked for, namely, an extension of
the amount of the issues of notes by the Bank of
England upon securities, and a more liberal mark
as to the amount of the issue by the country bankers.
However, almost all hope is given up that in Committee
there will be any material alteration in the principle of the
measure as at first brought forward by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
A large amount of merchandise has been cleared for home
consumption yesterday and to .day. The river, the docks,
and the revenue departments of Customs and Excise, are in
a most bustling state. The receipts this week have been
almost unprecedented, and what is the more satisfactory,
is the fact, that the purchases, in the majority of instances,
have been bona fide and not in time bargains.
We are without any arrivals of interest this morning. The
rig to raise the wind by the Financial Minister of Madrid
has failed, according to our letters received to-day, from
thence, although in a place like that, one scheme soon fol-
lows another.

The Presse thus announces a change in the Greek
Ministry :

"The President of the Greek Ministry, M. Mavrocordate,
has just given in his resignation, and all his colleagues were
on the point of following his example. This Cabinet, formed
under English influence, had, from the moment of its acces-
sion to power, met with an opposition to which it was at
last obliged to yield. General Collett', who is not hostile to
French influence, will, without doubt, be charged with the
formation of the new Ministry."

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
Lord Denman sat at Nisi Prius this morning with a
Middlesex Common Jury. No case of any importance came
on during the morning. In the case of the Queen v. Timson,
a verdict of acquittal was taken without going into the case
for the prosecution.

the evidence already adduced before the magistrates,
and he'dwelt particularly on the fact of the prisoner's being
with the deceased on the night of the murder ; the dress of
both, and the remarkable words used by them on their way
to the bridge. The various movements of the prisoner after
the death of the untbrtunate woman were next alluded to,
fro:n the time of his calling upon his daughter in Montpelier-
square to the period of his surrendering himself at the police
station-house in Marylebone-lane. He would, with this
brief recital of the facts of the case, proceed to call the wit-
nesses before them. He was convinced they would give the
case their best attention, and whatever might be their verdict
he was certain that that verdict would be founded in justice.
The Learned Gentleman then called
Mr. William Parkins, who was examined by Mr. BODKIN
I am a goldsmith; and reside at No. 8, Albion-terrace, King's-
road, Chelsea. I was out in the night of the 29th April, and
while crossing the bridge observed the female coming in the
direction from Chelsea. She came up and caught hold of
me, and said," Will you assist me to the toll-house ?" She
reeled in such a manner that I thought she was tipsey, and I
said, " Why, my good woman, what's the matter?" She
saw the person who keeps the toll, and ran over to him. I
observed her fall at the toll-house, and looking at my own
right-hand I found it covered with blood. I followed to the
toll-house, and observed, " Good God, the woman's throat is
cut." The alarm was given, and several persons came up ;
one said, " Its Mrs. M'Farlane," and another added, "Then
Dalmas has done it." A Mr. Mullins and another gentleman
ran for a doctor. She was afterwards carried to the passage
of the Swan Tavern, and while lying in the passage I said,
" She will bleed to death ; she is dying." I saw Langton,
the officer, and Mr. Gosling, the landlord of the Swan, there.
The woman was bleeding profusely.
Mr. Baron GURNEY—Did she make any exclamation ?
Witness—Only " Oh dear !" my Lord.
Mr. Baron GURNEY—HOW long did she live after the police-
man arrived? Witness—Abeut five minutes, my Lord.
By Mr. Boma:v-1 did not hear the woman say anything
else.

Cross-examined by Mr. Witams—Had not Mr. Mullins
a broad brimmed hat on, and a dark coat ? Yes.
Mr. Baron GURNEY—IS that Mr. Mullins here?—He is
outside the Court.
William Gosling—l am landlord of the Swan Inn, and on
the night of the 29th April the deceased female was brought
in and laid down in my passage. Many persons came in
with her, and some remarks passed, that " she would bleed
to death—that she was dying." Langton, the policeman,
was there, and stooped over her, he requested her to pay
attention to what she said. The wounded female appeared
then to be sensible enough, and aware of what was going on.
By Mr.Wiexiss—l heard a person say, "get assistance or
she will bleed to death." That was before Langton put the
questions to her.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Why do you think that the woman
understood what was passing about her? Witness—From
the answers she returned to the questions.
Frederick Langton, 36 V.—l heard a cry of police from
the bridge, and hastened there. I observed the woman, and
she had a cut in her throat, to which a handkerchief was
pressed. When she was being removed, the handkerchief
fell off, and I do not remember whether I applied it to the
wound again. She was carried into the Swan. I looked in
her face, and she appeared to me as if she wanted to say
something to me. I put four questions to her, and obtained
an answer to each of them. She lived five or six minutes
after answering the last. She spoke very lowly, but very
distinctly. Her voice appeared more faint when she answered
the last question.
By Mr. WILKINS—I did not hear any person say, " Get
help, or the woman will die."
Mr. WILKINS submitted to the Bench that the evidence
adduced was inadmissible, because it would be necessary to
prove, not that the woman was in a dying state, or that
she died in five or six weeks, but that she thought she was
dying. He thought the expression, " Get help, or the woman
• will die," was calculated to encourage the hope that if such
assistance was found, death could be avoided. On these
grounds he submitted the evidence could not be received.
' Mr. ALLEYN followed on the same side, and cited an
opinion of Mr. Justice Coleridge to the effect
Mr. Baron GURNEY thought the present too doubtful a case
to admit of the evidence tendered as to the female's con-
sciousness of what was passing.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS coincided in the opinion expressed
by his learned brother.
Thomas Hall—l am tollman at Battersea-bridge, and saw
the woman at the toll-house on the night of the 29th of
April. She was wounded, and kept repeating "Oh dear, oh
dear." I saw her on that same evening about six o'clock
pass across to Chelsea, accompanied by the prisoner's :youngest
daughter Augusta. I know a man Cook, and saw him on the
bridge that night.
Mr. Wieetame—Did you not deny before the magistrate
that you had seen Cook? Witness—l did, Sir.
By Mr. Baron GURNEY—The reason I denied having seen
Cook was that I did not know the man's name, although I
had known him personally for upwards of seven years.
Frances Scott, housekeeper to Mrs. D'Oyley, No. 9, Bol-
ton-place, Chelsea—On the night of the murder the deceased
called, accompanied by the prisoner's youngest daughter,
who was going to enter into Mrs. D'Oyley's service. The
deceased waited about ten minutes and was in good spirits,
laughing and joking till she went away. I observed a man
waiting outside ; he appeared as if waiting for some one.
Sergeant Lynes, 5 V. was on duty in Bolton- row, and ob-
served a man waiting in front of No. 9,from twenty minutes
past eight till a quarter to nine. He saw the woman come out,
and she joined the man, and they walked away arm-in-arm,
in the direction of the Queen's Elms. The prisoner at the bar
is that man. He had on a dark coat and broad-brimmed hat.
Elizabeth Chaplin, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I was
barmaid of the Stag Tavern, Fulham-road, on the night of
the 29th of April. I saw a man and woman come in. The
prisoner is the man, and he had often been at our house in
company with the same female before. They waited but a
short time and had a quarters of gin and cloves. The female
was middle aged-, well-dressed, and was altogether a genteel
little woman.
Mary Ann Williams, examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL
—I live at the toll-house, Lands End, Fulham. On the
night of the 29th of April, I was on the Chelsea side of Bat-
tersea-bridge, and I saw a man and woman standing there.
The prisoner is the man. They were standing still, and con-
tinued standing for some time. I left for Fulham, and they
still waited there.
By Mr. Wieienis—Did you not say to the policeman, in the
first instance, that you did not see the prisoner's face at all?
—No, I did not. Isaw his face side ways. The hour was about
twenty minutes before ten. I never had seen the man before.
I was standing there myself waiting for a female.
Richard Parsons, examined by Mr. BODKIN—I keep the
King William the Fourth, beer-shop, King's-road, Chelsea.
On the night of the 29th of April, about twenty minutes past
nine, a man and woman came in, and had a pint of porter.
I saw the body of the female on the Sunday after, and it
struck me that she it was, who had been in on the night
of the 29th. I did not notice the man sufficiently to know
him again. I recognised the prisoner when standing in the
crowd, in Wandsworth Police-court, as the man who had
been in my house with the woman. I did not know when I
pointed out the man that he was a prisoner.
Elizabeth Meangham, by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am a dress-
maker, and recollecting standing outside with the waiter of
the White Hart, about twenty minutes after ten, on the
night of the 29th April. I saw a man and woman passing.
I heard the woman say, " she could not stop out that night."
1 recognised her when I saw her lying dead as a person I had
formerly known. I had known her some seven or eight
years ago. I thought by her dress it was she who had passed
on that night. I stated at the Wandsworth Police-court,
and I say now, that he i 3 the man who passed with the
female.
Edmund Rogers examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—
I am a waiter at the White Hart, and while standing with
the last witness I observed a man and woman passing in the
direction of the bridge. I heard the man say, " Will you
go there tonight?" and the woman said, "No, I can't go
to-night." I would not know them again.
Rebecca Seward—l was, on the night of the murder, coming
down Beaufort-row into Duke-street, and saw a man and
woman there. They were near the railings that lead to the
bridge. The hour was about half-past ten. The woman had
on a light dress and bonnet, and a dark shawl. I heard
the man say to the woman in a loud voice, " And so you
won't ?" I thought he spoke very angrily.
Wm. Evans examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—On the night,
of the 29th April I was on the Surrey side•of Battersea-
bridge, and saw a man and woman standing on the crown
arch of the bridge. In a minute or two I heard a scream. I
was at the moment looking another way, but I immediately
looked up and observed the woman running towards the toll-
house. I thought she said the man had cut her throat. That
was said when she got to the toll-house. When I heard the
scream it seemed to come from where they were standing,
and it sounded like a woman's. A gentleman came to the
toll-house, and I ran for a doctor.
By Mr. Wmants—lt was a moonlight night, and I could
see the two persons very distinctly. The gentleman who
came over the bridge had on rather a broad-brimmed hat
and a dark coat. I ran to opposite the new pier for the
doctor. Three doctors went to the toll-house.
By Mr. CHAMBERS—The gentleman whom I saw with the
broad-brimmed hat was at the toll-house talking, and I left
him there when I went for the doctor.
• Richard Messenger, engineer, examined by Mr. BODKIN—
Myself and wife crossed Battersea-bridge on the night of this
occurrence, on the left-hand side from the Middlesex side of
the bridge. • I observed a man looking over the balus-
trade into the water, and as we passed him he turned
round. He was dressed in a dark coat and broad-
brimmed hat. On getting to the toll-house I saw a
woman lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound in her
throat. The only persons on the bridge were that man, and
and two men who were with a cart containing a dead horse.
Just as we got to the man the cart passed us, but we over-
took it again at the toll-house, where it had waited, I sup-
pose, till the gate was opened.
Mrs.i Messenger, by the SOLICITOR. GENERAL—I saw a man
on the bridge when passing with my husband on the night of
the 29th of April. I saw no other person on the bridge
except that man. I never said to the policeman that the
man's trowsers were light.
James Cook, by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-4 am a coal-

Chelsea Old Church, with my master's carman. It was
