The many novel and varied a4vantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow twa-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the greet reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and ,converting. policies so as beet to
salt the interest or necessity of the, policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the.full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
'scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

stored arid much improved is appearance and colour, having become
thick, dark, and glrssy ; it also curls freely without the rise of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have warmly recom-
mended your Macassar Oil as an excellent restorative andprescrva.

DEAFNESS.—From John Sawyer, Esq., of Hay-

mons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Gentlemen, having
been deaf for some time, I was induced, in the month of No-
vember, 1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductors,
and, although at my advant e I age, at that time past my 77th
year, I had no hope of obtsiting any relief, yet immediately I
applied them I could hear the general conversation, and my
hearing has become so much improved by their use, that I can
now hear acutely without their aid. I am, Gentlemen, your
most obedient servant, J. Sawyer. 22d June, 1842.—From
the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Herts, to
Messrs, S. and B. Solomons :—Gentlemen, having been deaf
for many years, I was induced to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors. They enable me to hear persons in company,
and at a place of worship most distinctly. The Spectacles and
Handglass which you have sent me are very excellent, and
suit my sight perfectly. the transparency of which is so bril-
liant, that although I have passed my 86th year the 22d of
May last, yet they enable me to read, and by candle-light, with
the greatest ease and comfort to myself. I return you my best
thanks, and remain your obedient servant, Henry Cowper.

SOCIETY FOR THE EMANCIPA-
TION OF INDUSTRY.

- - -
The weekly meeting of the members of this Society was
held last evening at the office, Parliament-street, for the pur-
pose of discussing the nature of the " standard of value," in
pursuance of the notice given, according to the rule of the
Society, at the list week's meeting. The attendance was
highly respectable. Mr. Spottiswootre was called to the chair.
In introducing the business of the evening, the CDAIRMAN
took occasion to torreet an error that had appeared in a
Morning Paperiti a report of the last meeting of the Society.
It was stated that the Society intended to " agitate" in fa-
vour of the principles. they supported. Their intentions
were perfectly the reverse; the Society were no agitators, its
object being, on the contrary, to allay agitation. They saw,
or thought they saw; in their present mouetary system the
sources of great agitation, and the object of the Society was
to put a stop to that agitation, by providing a remedy for
the evils of that system. . Ire attrlbuted.the mistake to the
fact of the reporter being so accustomed to hear of " agita-
tion" in other quarters--:(Hear, hear)-that lie thought this
Society must be agitators also. They did not look
to agitation for the propagation of the principles which
they knew to be true ; they only asked those who were
uninformed to listen to their arguments, that they might be
convinced. The question for this evening was, the "stand-
ard of value." It :was not generally known out of doers,
that the currency of the country consisted of two parts—
one, the money of the Governmpat, that was to say,
that 'money it issued• for the payment of its expenses,
and receivable back in the shape of taxation, which was lite-
rally speaking money, but not siiireCent ibe the wants of 'a
great country like 'tail and the other part, the commercial
currency of the nation—that was the issue,of notes or other
representatives of value by private persons upon private
credit. It was the-want of seeing the simple distinction,
that neither one nor the other could be properly made the
entire commercial. medium of the country, that had led
people into great confusion and . difficulty upon this question.
Some were now crying out for one bank of issue. There cer-
tainly could be but one Government ; but many seemed to
think that on that account the whole circulating medium.of
the country must come from that one quarter. Others .were
for the issue of notes of hand and bank to .es on -private secu-
rities. These again were of a different character, and most
take their tone and measure from the money of the country.
If the Government made an issue of 1/. notes, those issued
by private bankers must be of the same va!ue; and whether
they were for sums of one, five, or ten pounds, they must be
the same as the Government money represented. It was
supposed to 'be dangerous to have more than one bank of
issue, because they might have then many, or an indefinite
number of bankers, and what was called an over-issue of
notes; but the idea was preposterous. Nobody took the
notes of a bank and threw them into the street, nor did any
banker or bank part with its notes without value, or sup-
posed value received. If a bank chose to part with its notes
to persons of doubtful credit, they were speculators, just in
the same way as others were speculators. Both might lose,
and both might deserve to lose. But an over issue could not
possibly exist—it must cure itself in a short time. No men
parted with their property for nothing, or for that which was
of no value ; nor could anything force them to do it. Unless
the public had confidence in a bank, no one would take its
notes; and unless a man had land, or warehouses, er pro-
duce, or property of some kind, which he wished to exchange
for something more convertible, no issue of notes to him
could take place. The cry of over-issue, then, was perfect
nonsense, and the attempt to give an equal fixed value to.
the whole of the circulating medium was a great fallacy.
Where there was an immense weight of taxation, it was
equal folly to say that the money of the country should be of
the same price as if that taxation did not exist. With these
introductory observations he left the question open to discus-.
sion by the meeting.
Mr. C. ENDERBY said he had some very considerable
doubts as to whether there could be any standard of value
at all. Value meant two things ; the value of one thing
could only be fixed by something else—by some peculiar
commodity, the object of doing so being to regulate prices.
The question was, did the standard of value, as fixed by law,
regulate prices ? Just the reverse; for it confused and dis- '
turbed everything. First, with regard to gold itself, the price
of gold was fixed, but if the quantity of gold in the country,
was extremely small, a counteracting circumstance took
place, and the price of the commodity was depressed. Now
came the consideration of the intention that was entertained
in fixing the standard of value ; surely it could not have been
intended to disturb all the transactions between man and
man, and yet that appeared to have been its operation. When
gold became extremely scarce, the Bank contracted its circu
lation, and this acted in the first place, perhaps, on East In-
(Han produce. Tea fell in price 50 per ce:it , then sugar fell 30
per cent., and other produce 10 per cent., and so.forth ; every •
thing was disturbed Now he wanted to know if there was
any one object that could be considered a standard of value?
He never could make it out that there was one.

Mr. LAams MURRAY said he could easily understand the
object of the question. If they had no fixed obligation to
pay—no obligation which every year required the same
amount of money to discharge, there was no occasion to have
a reference to a standard of value. In that case every article
might be exchanged for some other article which the parties
making the exchange might desire to have. This would be
in fact a system of barter. But where they had a fixed debt
and obligation to pay, some standard must be agreed upon
in order to prevent the parties receiving it from having too
little interest for their money at one period and too much at
another ; hence it became necessary to have a reference to a
standard of value. He believed that the true nature (.f a
standard of value had been very ably laid down by his friend
Mr. Taylor, whose works on this subject he had read with
great pleasure; he thought no man could read them without
acquiring much ',instruction from them. He laid it down
that the market price of gold would be a good standard of
value. He agreed in this so far as the mere interchange of
commodities were concerned, because, as cost of pro-
duction entered into all articles, the relation of value
would be preserved between them, and except fi om
the fact of an over-issue on the part of the
Government to meet extraordinary expenses, no
derangement to the incomes of all those whose incomes
were fixed could exist from purely mercantile causes. Mr.
Cowell, who had written on the currency, laid it down as a
new discovery that gold was the best standard of value be..
cause men insatiably desired to possess it. This was not
laid down as a jest or in satire, but with all the gravity of a
philosophic principle ; he considered it a disco Very of quite
a new moral world.—(Hear, hear.) When he read his
pamphlet, he naturally asked how much did this insatiable
demand of gold amount to in the year, and he found that it
amounted to 5,000,0001. a year, consumed in the arts out of
a produce of about 9,1100,000/. Suppose the insatiable desire
for the possession of gold only occasioned a demand for one
million out of the nine produce, what was the situation they
would be in ? They would have more gold on hand than
they had a demand for,
w and it ould fall in its value as com-
pared with other commodities. Those having fixed incomes
would then complain, because theirincomes would not cobs_
mend so much of the productions of the labouring classes as
.they had before enjoyed. If, on the contrary, the supply of
gold was less than the demand, a great appreciation
of the standard of value would take place' What a fallacy,
then, to suppose that gold could be so insatiably desired,
when the whole demand for
it did not exceed five millions.
This was mistaking effect for cause. Every one would agree
that in fixing a standard of value,they ought to fix on some-
thing that was in universal demand. And if anything could
be said to be in universal demand, it was surely that which
entered so largely into
life." In the " staff of
production, which was,
whatever point of view it might be examined,
wheat might be said
to possess all the elements of a perfect
standard of value. And here again he was much indebted
to the gentleman he had before named, who had ably laid
down the nature of the standard of value and of the measure
of value. The standard of value might be corn, while the
measure of value might be gold, because the latter had great
intrinsic value in a small Compass. But it made a bad standard
of value, because the demand for it was limited. Wheat was
bulky, but there was no article that fluctuated so little in price
in a long period of years. For many years previous to the passing
of the Bank Restriction Act, from 1635 to 1795, the price of
a bushel of wheat was as nearly as possible the same as that
of an ounce of silver, and to do justice to the productive
classes, they should endeavour to form a standard of value
by making the ounce of silver and the bushel of wheat
agree. This could be done by an average taken every seven
or fourteen years. Such an arrangement as this would en-
able them to do as they were doing before 1819, and restore
that prosperity to the country which was so much required.
If that was effected, instead of finding the taxes pressing
upon them so heavily, they would not feel them, while they
would be enabled to compete with every foreign country,
and the nation would become rich by the elements it pos-
sessed within itself to make it so.
Mr. ENDERBY did not clearly understand how corn could
be made a standard of value, when it was always so fluctu-
ating in price between the end of one season and the be-
ginning of another ; and it appeared to him that this must
always be the case.
Mr. MURStAY explained that on an average of years corn
would be found to fluctuate in price less than any other
article.
Mr. RICIIARDSON said, Mr. Murray had talked of the'
market price of gold. What idea did that convey to them?
By what standard or measure was that price to be taken? It
amounted to nothing, and they were all yet completely at sea.
Mr. MURRAY said, that if the price of gold was not fixed by
Act of Parliament, it would be discovered by finding its own
level in the market.
A discussion, in the nature of a conversation, took place on
this point between Mr. Richardson, Mr. Vickers, Mr. Capps,
and Mr. Murray. In the course of it, one of the speakers said
that the issue of IL notes from one bank would be a curse to
the country; there was an anxiety on the part of the Bank
of England to get into this mode of having one bank of issue.
Mr. TAYLOR said he had taken some pains to ascertain
what had been the prices of corn for many years before the
Bank of England came into existence, and he found, adopting
the estimates given in the transactions of the Royal Society,
that for six hundred years the price of wheat had averaged
445. a quarter. The English grower had that pricefor his wheat
when the taxation of the country only amounted to two millions
—how much better then was he paid all through that period
than he was at present?—(Bear, bear.) He defended the
principle of adopting corn as the standard 'of value, showing
that even in the time of the Romans there was a relative
proportion between the metals of their currency, which re-
mained nearly the same down to the discovery of America.
But the measure of value was now provided for them by the
Government in the taxes of the people, and it had no longer
anything to do with the old metallic money of the country.
The Government now made its paper as valuable as gold or
silver; this it had no right to say. Let it fix the value of
its paper, but it was impossible to alter that of gold or silver.
The Government said there shall be a maximum of value,
though it would not attempt to fix a minimum of wages i
then why fix a maximum of value, when they were every
year doing something to raise that maximum. There were
three states of money. There was the condition of barter, in
which no money was required; another state was where the
precious metals came in • to operation, still a condition of bar-
ter, but one in which the exchange was for something besides
eatables, or drinkables, or clothing. If both parties fixed
the price in metal, and were both satisfied, there was no rea-
son why they should not buy and sell as they chose. But
got when they to such a. state of things, in which the Go,:
vernment- stepped in with
its taxing power, it did by that
'down

the metallic value of

complained of. It was of no fault in the standard of value,
it was of no fault in the measure of value—they could alter I
that; only let them take care to discountenance every at-
tempt to trade and traffic in them to monopolise them, and use
them to the injury of their fellow-men. If this was not done,
they would not now have agitations going on for Ten Hour
Bills ; men did not sacrifice themselves, and wives, and chil-
dren, from-indifference or selfishness, but it was from the_
stern necessity of exerting themselves beyond their powers,
in consequence of this system depriving them of the
fair reward of their industry. Never had there been a coun-
try so oppressed as this had been by that from which no man
had prothed. Every Government said, " Oh, the currency is
a.difficult subject ;" but it was not a difficult one if it was but
attended to; it was inattention that had done the injury.
They had gold and silver as their measures at present, and
they could not extricate.themselves from them. Nor was he
desirous that they should do so. But there was another kind
Of money which the people had not, because they did not en- .
joy it. Every endeavour to gain it was crushed by the Go-
vernment, which made every attempt, and would make
every attempt, to preserve the equality between gold and pa-
per, and if it should estabish one bank of issue, would almost
destroy every hope of the emancipation of the country from
the system.
The discussion of the details of the question of the standard
of value was then resumed between Mr. Capps, Mr. Enderby-,
and Mr. Sparkhall, and continued for some time in a very
animated manner. One gentleman, whose name was not
given, joined in the discussion, in order to maintain that labour •
was the only true standard of value; gold was the worst.and
the most pernicious, from its scarcity, and he wished he had
it in its power to destroy it and convert it hits iron, which
lie thought would be preferable to it (thus reversing the
object for. which the alchemists of old laboured so perse-
veringly—the conversion of all the baser metals to the
noblest one.) This Spartan aspiration did not seem to be at
all shared in by the rest of the meeting.
Mr. L. MuItRAY said, the question whether labour should
be the standard of value had been very ably discussed by
Adam Smith, and if the last speaker had said that labour, •
instead of being the standard, was the origin of all value, he
should have agreed with him. But if he applied all the tests
that must be applied to a standard of value to labour, he
would find that his position was erroneous. It was far too
fluctuating in its nature to• afford basis enough for such a
standard. The use of gold as a standard had, from the fluctu-
ations in the price of that article, caused great misery. It
was to alter this that the present Society was established ; to
give emancipation to industry was the object for which they
had met that night.
Mr. RODGERS, -in a short address, stated his preference to
gold as the standard of value. He contended that, though it
might fluctuate as far as thiS country was concerned, yet that
taking the whole world, it remained unaltered.
The CHAIRMAN then stated, that the time allotted to the
discussion had expired, and having announced that the sub-
ject at the next meeting would be " Bank Restrictions," the
proceedings closed.

HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM TM MORNING PIPERS OF THIS DAT.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The impression produced in the City by the
Budget has not atall corresponded with the expectation it
had previously raised, the only important deduction from it
being that it is not absolutely certain that the property-tax
will be continued after the three years. In general, the un-
willingness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to suffer any
encroachment upon his surplus by a premature remission of
taxes- accords with the feeling of prudent men of business in
the City, who conduct their own affairs precisely upon the
same principle. The only subject upon which much notice
has been bestowed is the arrangement proposed to be made
with the South Sea Company. This is generally approved,
as getting rid of an anomaly in the administration of the
public debt, as well as affecting a considerable saving to the
public. This may be illustrated in the following manner :
The guarantee fund that has always accumulated amounts
to 379,4461. 10s. stock, consisting of 122,278/. Is. sd. Consols,
and 257,168/. Bs. 7d. Reduced. To make this up to the re-
quired amount of 610,464/. Is. sd. (one-sixth of the capital),
the sum of 231,017/. I Is. sd. is required, and must be pur-
chased or created. By the Chancellor of the Exchequer's
declaration, it appears that the former course will be
adopted, and the annual saving, which is estimated at
11,520/., will be at once effected. This sum is composed
of the expenses of management, which are set down at
5,9001., the salaries of directors and clerks, set down at
8,9001., and the "compensation in lieu of duties," set down at
3,720/. The aggregate of these items is 18,520/., from which
must be deducted 7,0004 the interest on the additional stock,
and the 11,520/. is the result. We are aware that the figures
used here differ in a slight degree from those cited by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, but that is because our calcu-
lations allow for the accumulation of the guarantee fund up
to the present time.

The convenience gained by the public by the new arrange.
ment, independently of the saving, will be the transaction of
all stock business at the Bank of England. The question
naturally arises, what will become of the present Company
when its only functions are thus annihilated? Either, it
would seem, it must cease altogether, or it must charge itself
with the performance of some new duties. The project that
was started a little time ago, of a trust Company, with the
present Board of Directors, shows that these are willing to
continue their official existence, but the scheme seems to have
made such very little progress, that scarcely any hope is
entertained of its being carried into effect.
The premium on gold at iParis is 13 per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. lOid. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 48 ; and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 574, it follows
that gold is 0.38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg'', the price of gold is 4351 r per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. lOid. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10i ; and
the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10,
it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh
than in London.

SUN.—The English Stock Market did not recover the
decline of the morning, Consols closing at 991 -a, and
the heavy Stocks being also at nearly the lowest rates of
the day.
The Foreign Market felt the influence likewise of the
flatness of our own Funds. Spanish Five per Cents. left
off at 24 and the Three per Cents at 351 to 36.
Mexican Deferred improved to 151. Belgian were 1041
and Peruvian 29.

WESLEYAN MISSIONARY
MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society was held in Exeter Hall on Monday. The
chair was taken at eleven o'clock by the Right Hon. Sir
George Rose, who was surrounded on the platform by a
large number of leading ministers, and lay gentlemen,
connected with the demonstration. The attendance was
no less crowded than on former occasions of the same
kind, the Hall being completely filled.
Amongst those present were the following :—The
Right Hon. Sir George Rose, G.C.H. ; P.M. Stewart,
Esq., M.P. for Renfrewshire ; Captain Elliot, R.N. ;
the Rev, Dr. Wilson, of Bombay ; the Rev. Messrs.
Hamilton and Stewart, of the Free Church of Scotland ;
the Rev. Mr. Collinson, the Rev. Mr. Reece, the Rev.
Mr. Waugh, &c. &c.
After the usual devotional service,
The CHAIRMAN said it was now about a quarter of a
century since he first felt an interest in Wesleyan mis-
sions; and that interest he had avowed, not only there,
but in print.--(Hear, hear.) He believed that a similar
feeling pervaded the minds of thousands in the Church
of England, who felt that if they had hitherto enter-
tained captious scruples, they ought now to merge them
in one common effort for the good of mankind. Con-
sidering the fact that those who had been separated
after having been united almost uniformly became the
bitterest fees, it appeared to him a remarkable circum-
stance, and one which called for gratitude to God, that
such kindly feelings should exist between the two
bodies.—(Hear, hear.) It might be asked why it was
that Luther and the other great Reformers had said
nothing on the subject of missions. The explanation
was to be found in the ,of
that they had to fight for
their own existence.—(Hear.) A painful struggle was
going on in Spain, Italy, and many ether countries of
Europe, which allowed of no time for missions to the
heathen. It was a curious fact, however, that the Wal-
denses, who would never accept the name of Roman Ca-
tholics, had emissaries in several European countries.
As regarded the Wesleyan missions, he could bear tes-
timony that in the West Indies the best effects had been
produced. Morality, peace, industry, and order, were
the constant results of those missions.—(Cheers.) In
referring, in passing, to the Factories Bill of last year,
he observed that he did not believe that measure was
dictated by any feeling of hostility towards the Wes-
leyan body. A great national evil was found to exist,
and its promoters erroneously imagined that it
could only be removed by a great national
remedy. In conclusion, he said that, whatever disputes
might exist on doctrinal or other points in this country,
by looking at the Wesleyan missions Christianity would
be seen in its truth and beauty, and all true Christians
would feel that they were united to each other by a
common bond.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Dr. BUNTING said that, in consequence of
that day being appointed for the opening of the Budget
in the House of Commons, they had been deprived of
the presence of several Parliamentary friends who had
been expected to attend. There was one gentleman
present, however, and as he would be obliged to leave in
a few minutes, he would suggest that they should have
the speech first, and the report afterwards.—(Hear.)
Mr, P. M. STEWART, 11. P., said his Rev. Friend
was mistaken as to the cause of his being obliged to
leave : it was not the Budget, but one of these
brancluls of Lusiness to which they, as beasts
of burden, were obliged to attend—he meant
a Committee of the House of Commons. He bad
Lbeen determined to identify himself in some way with

their cause.--(Cheers.) The report having been put
into his hands, he had read it verbatim, and heartily
wishing success to the object,: he gave them free per-
mission to use his name after he had left, either as the
mover or the seconder of that document.—(Cheers.)
He had many reasons fur coming before them on that
occasion ; but he would particularise only three. First,
he did so as a humble member of that great Christian
community ; secondly, as identified in some degree with
the dark history of the West Indian colonies, where the
missionaries had laboured so successfully ; and, thirdly,
as member of the Free Protesting Church of Scotland,
which had been so warmly and zealously aided by the
Wesleyan body in its struggles for Christian inde-
pendenee and spiritual liberty. In each of these cha
meters he felt called upon to manifest his interest in the
Wesleyan missions ; and they might at all times com-
'mend his services, so far as they could be made use of to
further the object.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman
left the room amidst considerable applause.
The Rev. Dr. BUNTING then read the report. From
this it appeared that the receipts for the year had been
99,980/., which, with the addition of the surplus of the
income over the expenditure in the previous year,
amounted to 99,804/. The gross expenditure had beet
112,908/., being an increase 0f.12,2441. as compared with
1842, leaving an'actual deficiency of 13,1041. The ex-
penditure of past year exceeded that of any year
during the last six years by 3,7001. The report con-
tained an urgent appeal to the friends of the Society for
increased contributions, without which, it said, lament-
able consequences must ensue.
The report having been adopted,
The meeting was addressed by several other gentle-
men,
when a vote of thinks was passed to the Chairman
and the audience dispersed.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
BRIGHTON, APRIL 30.—1 t appears that a few weeks ago,
in consequence of the depredations committed by persons in
Stanmer Park, in search of birds' nests, 'that a man named
Carter and one or two others were set to watch for tres-
passers. Shortly afterwards a labourer named Beard, who
lived near Carter's house, was taken up for trespassing on the
park, and immediately conveyed before the Earl of Chiches-
ter. Beard had been working for a farmer, and, in conse-
quence of his misconduct, he was discharged. This took
place about three weeks ago. Last Saturday evening Carter
went to bed soon after nine o'clock, leaving his wife up. She
was at work till twelve when she also went to bed. She had
scarcely put out the light, when she heard the report of t
gun, and almost at the same time the window was struck.
Carter was asleep, but his wife soon awoke him, and they
both got up, and did not go to bed again that night. On ex-
amining the room they discovered that one of the panes of
glass had been shot through, apparently with a bullet ; and,
on a further examination, they found some broken pieces of
marble, which had evidently been shot through and hit the
bed-post, on which was a mark. Early on Sunday morning
Carter acquainted Sergeant Phillips, of the East Sussex con-
stabulary, with these circumstances. Phillips immediately
proceeded to Beard's house, and, finding the door fastened,
he knocked for admittance. No. one came, and Phillips ob-
tained an entrance by the window. On. going into Beard's
bed-room he found a gun, which appeared to have been re-
cently used. It had been wiped out, and the flint was taken
out and laid on the drawers. A tobacco pipe was also dis-
covered, into which some powder had been recently poured.
Phillips having ascertained that Beard was at Kingston, pro-
ceeded thither, and apprehended him. He was conveyed to
Lewes, and on Monday was brought up before one of the
Lewes magistrates, but in the absence of some material evi-
dence, :Phillips requested that he might be remanded till
Tuesday (yesterday) afternoon, which was accordingly done.

MURDER AT BATTERSEA.
(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
Yesterday a more accurate personal description of the sup-
posed murderer was sent by route to the different stations of
the Metropolitan Police and elsewhere than that furnished on
Monday night. He is described as being 50 years of age,
5 feet 6 inches in height, dark hair, bald in the front of the
head, has a deep scar on his forehead, small square cut
whiskers, aid is supposed to be dressed in a black surtout
coat, black velvet waistcoat, with blue glass buttons, black
stock, and rather broad-trimmed hat ; he has absconded from
his lodgings, and expressed his intention of committing
suicide.

The police, in the course of their inquiries, have ascertained
that the deceased and Augusta Dalmas, the murderer's
youngest daughter, left home between seven and eight o'clock
on Monday evening ; that they were met near to Battersea-
bridge by I)almas, who accompanied them to the house of
Mrs. Dolley, No. 9, Bolton-place, Upper Church-lane, Chelsea,
where he had obtained a situation for his daughter. The
girl states, that her father and Mrs. M'Farlane saw her to
the door, took her boxes into the passage, and they then left
her This was about half-past eight o'clock. The chain of
evidence is then broken until about ten o'clock, when a woman
saw them together at the foot of the bridge on the Chelsea
side.

It having been ascertained that the prisoner had visited
Charlotte, who is the second eldest daughter, and is in the
service of Mr. Patrick, 18, Montpelier-square, Brompton,
Inspectors Busain and Sheppard proceeded thither yesterday
afternoon, and those officers gleaned particulars, of which
the following is a correct synopsis :—That Dahnas came to
her at a quarter past eleven o'clock—about three-quarters of
an hour after the murder took place. He was so pale, and
trembled so much, that his daughter, who received him on
the door-step, became exceedingly alarmed, and entreated
of him to tell her what was the matter. Her father, in a
loud and passionate tone, said, " I have poisoned Mrs.M‘Far-
lane." His daughter dropped on her knees, and, embracing
her father, said, " Tell me, oh tell me what you have done?
You cannot have done that." He replied, "No I've not
poisoned her, but I've given her that which will do for her."
The daughter stated that she then caught hold of her father's
hand ; it was cold, and had an open knife in it, which cut
her finger, and it bled profusely. The murderer then took his
daughter's finger with his left hand, raised his right, in which
the knife was, but giving her finer a violent wrench he
dropped- it, and darted from her.' Since that time he has not
been heard of. •

The letters found at his lodgings in Monpelier-placo are
very lengthy. They are certainly not the production of a
man labouring under excitement, although allusion to self-
destruction is constantly made.
The nerderer is said to have come from the south of
France. He is not only a clever operative chemist, but an
excellent linguist.
A most melancholy occurrence has happened in connec-
tion with this dreadful affair. Caroline, the eldest daughter
of the murderer, who is in service at No. 2, Halkin-place,
Belgrave-square, was yesterday morning incautiously ac-
quainted with the dreadful occurrence, and has since be-
come a maniac.
No clue has as yet been obtained as to the retreat of the
murderer.

D EATII FROM EXCESSIVE DRlNKlNG.—Yesterday,
Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Ben Jonson, Palmer-street,
Spitalfields, on the body of John Hopkins, aged fifty-six
years. It appeared by the evidence that deceased was a
weaver, and for several months past had been in the habit
of drinking ardent spirits, and had not been sober a single
day since the Ist of April last. On Tuesday week last he
had been drinking the whole of the day, and on returning
home about twelve o'clock at night, slipped from the kerb-
stone into the kennel, in doing which he struck himself a
blow on the right eye, in which condition he was found
by a police-constable. He was thereupon conveyed to the
station-house, when Mr. Mears, a surgeon, dressed his
wounds, and on the following morning he was taken before
the magistrate at Worship-street, who fined him five shil-
lings for drunkenness. The following day he complained
much of his head, and he was again medically attended by
Mr. Mears ; but he grew worse, and on Friday last he sud-
denly expired. Mr. Mears stated that deceased had died
from effusion of the brain, accelerated by his habits of drink-
ing and the injuries he had sustained by the fall. The jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.
Our Contemporaries are full of speculation as to
who will succeed Lord Ellenborough. Some have already
appointed Sir James Graham; others have been bounteous
enough to bestow the high office on Sir Henry Pottinger.
Of the former appointment we have, as yet, no knowledge ;
but to the latter, in addition to Sir Henry's absence from
England, there is, we would remind his patrons of the press,
another objection. It has of late years been a rule not to
appoint servants of the East India Company, either to the
supreme or to the subordinate governments of India. In the
intervals which have, as is about to happen, occurred between
the departure of one Governor-General and the arrival of
another, the senior member of Council undertakes the duties
of that great office ; but permanently the Company's servants
are not made Governors. It is to such a rule—for which
good reasons prevail—that we may attribute

THE RAISING OF THE SHIP JOHN WOODALL.-011
Friday the ship John Woodall, Captain Williams, which lett
the docks on Thursday morning for the Cape of Good Hope
and Calcutta, with several passengers and a miscellaneous
cargo, and which was scuttled and sunk near Tilbury Fort,
on Thursday evening, in consequence of a fire having broken
out in the hold among the cargo (supposed to have been oc-
casioned by the spontaneous combustion of some soft goods),
was raised by means of strong chain lighters, and otherna
assistance, and towed by a steam•packet to the Wt
Docks, where her cargo was being discharged on Saturday,e_
in a damaked state, chiefly occasioned by the water.s The
extent of the damage done cannot, however, be ascertained
until the whole of the cargo is discharged.
The Governor of the Bank of England and the Deputy-
Governor had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex-
