Albert Grinnell—l was second mate of the vessel, and
shipped in Liverpool. At the time of the occurrence I
was on the opposite side of the deck, the starboard side.
I was standing on the larboard side of the galley when
the captain passed me. He told the cook to come out of
the galley. I looked round and saw the steward stand-
ing at the galley door. I heard him say to the cook,
" Come out of the galley." The cook said, "Let go me,
and I'll come out." I walked aft, and on returning, I met
the steward, who said, "It's done," and I said, " What's
done ?" He gave me no answer, and I immediately went
to the galley, where I found the captain lying on his back,
and the mate holding his head. I saw blood around the
captain's face. I then took hold of the Captain's head,
while the mate went for plaster, and the knife with
blood on it was shown to me by Smith, and shortly af-
terwards the other knife, but I do not know where
he took it from. The captain was in a dying state. I
saw the captain previously to the transaction. I did not
see him drink anything, but cannot say that he was
sober. He appeared like a man under the influence of
liquor. I had previously seen him at other times when
I thought he had been drinking. I had never observed
a mutinous disposition on the part of the crew. Every
man was willing cheerfully to do his duty. •
Edward Wallace Hall, a seaman, gave similar testi-
mony.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF THE
AMERICAN CAPTAIN.
The examination of John Kent, the cook of the ship
Thomas Bennett, charged with the murder of Captain
Halsey, master of the said ship, took piece at the Police-
office, Liverpool, on Thursday at noon. The magistrates
on the bench were, Edward Rushton, Esq., R. Houghton,
Esq., Thomas Booth, Esq., and William Dixon,
Esq. There were besides several gentlemen on the
bench, who appeared to take much interest in the pro-
ceedings. 141 r. Davenport, solicitor, attended as advo-
cate for the prisoner. The case appeared to have excited
the greatest interest, as the court was excessively
crowded. A great number of captains and other sea-
faring men were present. The investigation occupied
the attention of the court for three hours. The follow-
ing is the evidence given :
William Gibbon examined—l am first mate of the
Thomas Bennett. She is an American ship, and belongs
to Charleston. The Captain was E. L. Halsey. We
sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, the 3d of August,
bound for Charleston. We put back, and arrived in
Liverpool on the 14th. The prisoner was employed as
cook on board, and sailed with us from Liverpool. The
reason we put back was the murder of the captain, which
occurred on Thursday, the Bth instant. We were in lat.
46 50, long. 9 57. I produce the log, in which I made
an entry at the time. At three o'clock in the afternoon
the captain went forward to the galley to see after some
cooking. I was standing behind the mainmast. In
about a minute, or two minutes at farthest, I heard a
noise on deck. One of the boys came to me, and, in con-
sequence of what he said, I ran forward, and found the
captain lying on his back on the deck. I saw a mark
of blood on his left jaw. In less than one minute he
was dead. I had hold of him when he died. He never
spoke. I did not see the wound given. When I went
up, the cook was standing by, quietly looking on. I
cannot say that he had anything in his hand. The cook
did not speak to me. I asked him how he came to do so
horrid a deed ? his reply was, " Had I not done so the
captain would have killed me." The reason I asked the
question was, that no one but he was near to the captain.
I am not aware there had been any previous quarrel
between the captain and the cook. The cook was sober.
The captain appeared to be under the excitement of
liquor. There had been a previous dispute about the
dinner.

George Woods—l am a surgeon ; I have examined the
body now lying in the deadhouse. There Isere twelve
external injuries of a severe character—three on the
upper portion of the sternum, three on the left side of the
back, one on the outside of the left shoulder, one over
the lower part of the sternum, one over the left lower
jaw, one on the left side of the lower region of the
spine, one on the posterior part of the right shoulder, and
one in the upper part of the right breast. I conceive
they have all been stab wounds; but Tam not quite certain
as to the one over the left shoulder. [The knife was
shown]. This is just such a weapon as would have in-
flicted such wounds. The character of the wounds was
sufficient to have produced death. The principal wounds
were on the right shoulder, and the other over the
breast ; both penetrated the lungs. I consider that
either of the last described wounds would have caused
death. I have no doubt in the world that the wounds on
the body were the cause of death.
The whole of the evidence having been gone through,
Mr. Rushton said—Prisoner, it is my duty to inform
you that whatever you say will be written down, and if
you should be tried here, in this country, will be read
against you when you are tried ; therefore you need
not say anything unless you choose. It is my duty,
also, to tell you that this case having occurred at sea,
under the American flag, I have some doubt whether you
can be tried here or not ; however, supposing you can—
that the authorities here will try you—or, that the Ame-
rican authorities who have a representative here, will
claim jurisdiction ; I shall take care, if you are tried
here, that you shall have the advantage of a trial as
speedily as possible, for I will remand you till Monday,
when the grand jury will be sitting. If they should
hand you over to the American authorities, all these
depositions will be forwarded to the tribunal before
which you are tried. If you have anything now to say
you can do so.
The prisoner was about to speak, to give, as we under •
stood, some statement or explanation of the case, but
being advised by his solicitor, he said he should decline
then to say anything.
He stood remanded till Monday.

MURDER AT MANCHESTER.
APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER.
(From the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday.)
Information of the murder was transmitted to Liver-
pool, where Evans, it was ascertained, arrived about
two o'clock. Here the case was taken up by Mr.
Inspector Anders, one of our most active officers.
After strict inquiry, the porter who carried the blue box
from the railway was found, and Evans was taken into
custody yesterday morning at two o'clock, by Mr. Anders,
in a street near the Clarence Dock. The prisoner, on
arriving here, went directly with the porter to the
George's Pierhead, with the intention of proceeding
by either the Mostyn Quay or Rhyl boat to Wales.
After some conversation the porter persuaded him not to
go with the steamer, as the weather was likely to be stormy
and the water rough, and Evans then accompanied
the man home. Whilst on the pierhead the strange de-
meanour of Evans excited the suspicion of one of the
officers on duty there, who states that he almost felt in-
clined to apprehend him without a warrant or authority,
being persuaded in his own mind that there was something
wrong about him, he conducted himself so strangely.
Mr. Anders took his prisoner to the police-office, High-
' street, where he detained him till the following morning.
1 He then left by the seven o'clock train for Manchester,
and the case would yesterday be brought before the
authorities there. Whilst sitt.ng in the Police-office
here, in the middle of the night, the prisoner
killed a mouse which was playing about. He then
remarked to those near him, with the utmost levity,
that that was another murder he had committed. The
whole of the stolen property, with the exception of the
watch, was found in the possession of the prisoner. It
does not amount in value to more than a few pounds.

----GCOrge Houghton Monro examined—I am steward on
beard the Thomas Bennett. I remember the morning
the captain was killed. It was the Bth of August. In
the morning, between eight and nine o'clock, the captain
ordered dinner to be on the table at half-past twelve
o'clock. At a quarter past twelve o'clock the captain
sent the cook to assist to hoist a studding sail. I then
went aft to set the table, and the captain said, " This is
one o'clock ; I told you to get it ready at half-past
twelve." I then brought the kettle with the soup. The
day before he had ordered that I was to bring the
soup separate. I told him the soup was then ready, and
he said, " Bring the dinner on the table." I then
fetched the dinner, and put it on the table, and told him
it was ready. He walked into the cabin and looked
round, and saw that the dinner was on the table, and
then ordered me to call the mates. The second mate,
Alfred Grinnell, refused to come. The captain went
to him, and asked him the reason he did not come to
dinner. The second mate said he did not know that it
was his (the captain's) orders that he should come. Tho
captain then came and said, " God d—n you, you have
cooked for the mates ; go and cook for me." I was
going, and he called me back. He said, " You pay a
d—d sight of attention to the mates, but cannot cook
anything for me." I said lam willing to do anything
I can and cook whatever is wanted. I then began to
clear the table and put these things into the pantry.
The captain came into the pantry and told me to go out
of that—l bad no business there. I told him the things
were dirty and must be cleaned. We were using white
plates and dishes, and he told me he had given me orders
never to put them on the table again. I said there
were not sufficient of the others. lie said he did not
care a d—n ; they should not go on the table any more.
After this he called me into the cabin to draw off some
brandy into a pint decanter. I mixed him some brandy
and water and nutmeg. He then appeared to be milder,
and I asked him what I should cook for his dinner. He
walked up and down the cabin, and then took another glass
of brandy. He then said, "Go get my dinner." I then
went into the galley ; there was soup ready, and I went
back and told the captain
dinner ; you have cooked' and he said " Go and get my
for the mates." I asked him
what I should get, and he appeared much excited. I went
and killed a fowl. In almost two minutes after he came
again for his dinner ; drove me from the galley, and said
the cook should do it. I went to the pantry, and he drove
me back again. I then went again to the galley, and asked
the cook what I should do, and w
the captain came. I had one foot in the galley. The
cook was in the galley ; he had brought in potatoes.
The captain said, " Give me my dinner." I told him
everything was ready.
I had a large black-handled
carving knife in my hand. Th hilst talking to the cook
The captain seized the knife
from my hand, and made a spring with one foot on the
galley, and told the cook to come out of the galley. He
seized the cook either by the shirt or neck on the left
side. The captain, on going into the galley, pushed me
so that one of my legs got between the spar aad the
water cask. The captain said, " God d—n you, come out
of the galley." The cook said " Let me go, Captain
Halsey, and I will come out." The captain had hold of
the cook with the right hand. In pulling him out of
the galley, the cook, I thought, struck him. I cannot
say with which hand the cook struck, from the position
in which I stood. The captain took the knife with his
left hand from me. They both came out of the galley
together, the captain being first, pulling the
cook. I then saw blood on the captain's right
jaw, but I was fast with the spar. They got
on deck, and I liberated
myself, and ran round the
galley for the second mate. I did not return to the
galley. I saw the captain dead as they were bringing
him into the cabin. At the time of the affray I think
there were men at work near to the galley. The boy
was there. [Mr. Rushton here ordered that the boy
Thomas Ewens, who was on board the Thomas Bennett,
lying in the river, near Woodside, should be sent for.]
I gave the captain, on that morning, before breakfast, a
wine-glass of brandy and bitters. After breakfast
he had a good deal of brandy—filled over and
over. He was not sober that morning. He was
intoxicated. He had not been sober from the Mon-
day before. I had sailed with the captain twenty years
ago, when he was second mate, and also when he was
master of the William Gibson. I had not sailed before
with him in the Thomas Bennett. I shipped with him
in Charleston, and was proceeding with the vessel on
her return. Coming this way we had not so much
liquor. lam an American citizen, and belong to New
York. The quantity of brandy he had drunk that day
was over a pint. The captain, on going from Liverpool,
appeared flighty each day. He appeared quite a different
man after leaving Liverpool- I did not see the captain
make any blow with the carving knife after taking it
from me.
Albert Grinnell produced the knives. [The one with
which the cook had stabbed the captain is a sailor's ordi-
nary knife, and apparently but in p3or order. The one
from the
which the captain took steward was a long
carving knife, but exceedingly slender, being nearly worn
away.]
Monro cross- examined—The cook had sailed with the
captain before. The captain has told me he would
rather have that man (meaning the cook) than any one
else, and said ho gave him ten shillings extra pay.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—This morning, Evans,
the murderer of Jane Millen, was brought up at the
Borough Court, at twelve o'clock, before Mr. Maude, the
stipendiary magistrate, where he underwent a long
examination, the proceedings occupying upwards of
five hours. The whole of the evidence went to substan-
tiate the facts sent yesterday. The Court was crowded
the whole of the time, and the prisoner appeared to treat
the whole affair with considerable indifference, occa-
sionally interrupting the witnesses and cross-examining
them. It was proved that he was in the house about an
hour before the murder was committed, and that no
other person had been seen or heard near the place.
There were several marks of blood upon his person.
An instrument made of iron, something after the shape
of a life-preserver, was found in the house, and was
tinted with blood. Mr. Sinclair, surgeon, who had
examined the body, gave it as his opinion that the
wounds on the head and neck caused death,
and that they were inflicted whilst the unfor-
tunate woman was alive, and that the iron instru-
ment produced would inflict such wounds as were
found about her head. The husband of the decased
woman thus dese►ibes her appearance when found :
" When I got her out of the coal-closet she was
quite dead. She was bleeding at the nose, ears, and
mouth, and her tongue was protruded very much and
greatly swollen ; her neck was very much discoloured,
and also greatly swollen ; her head was cut and bruised
and presented an awful spectacle." At the close of the
case the prisoner insisted on making his statement, not-
withstanding repeated cautions of the magistrate. A
great deal of his statement was quite irrelevant to the
charge. Speaking of the day of the murder he said,
" I got up on Wednesday morning about eight o'clock,
as near as I can recollect ; I went into the back yard
and washed myself. I put on my cap, and just as I was
going to the lobby to get my jacket to go out, this
woman (one of the witnesses) came with the water to
the door, and Mrs. Millen asked me to take in this water
as she was not well. I just tipped' one of them in,
and that was all. I put on my jacket, and went out. I
was going to the same public-house I was at in Oldham-
road on the previous day. I missed my tobacco-box,
and I returned for it. I went up stairs and found it on
the table. There was no person in the house. I went
into the kitchen and lighted my pipe, and smoked it. No
person came, and so I went up-stairs, and got what I
wanted. I took whatever I thought proper, for the
drawers were not locked. I then put them all in the
lobby and went for the cab to drive me to the station."
The prisoner, after accounting for the blood upon his
person in his own way, said, " I know no more of the
death of Mrs. Millen than any human being under the
sun." He was committed to take his trial at the pre-
sent Liverpool Assizes on the charges of murder and
robbery.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERT.—The attention of the
iron-masters has been attracted to a process of consider-
able importance lately introduced into their manufacture.
The application of electricity, to supersede several of the
expensive processes, has, it is stated, been tried in the
Welsh and Derbyshire furnaces with satisfactory results.
It appears that the costly fuel and labour required for
the purification of the ore from sulphur, phosphorus, and
subtle elements, create its high market value, and these
being all electro-negative, have induced the new process,
whereby the impure stream of metal after flowing from
the blast is in its moment of consolidation subjected to a
powerful voltaic battery, which so disengages the impure
components that in the process of puddling they are
readily extracted. The London blacksmiths, it is stated,
have tested this iron after a single reheating, and pro-
nounce it the best metal in the market. By the same
process an experiment was tried by Dr. Ure, by whom
a soft rod of iron was held in contact with a moderate
red heat, and that gentleman is understood to have stated
that in a few hours the metal was converted into steel.
Should these facts prove what they seem, they are calcu-
lated to affect most seriously this important branch of
our trade.---Newcastle Advertiser.
PREMISES SET ON FIRE IN DESTROYING A WASPS
NEST.—On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, an out-
house upon the premises of Mr. Bodger, of Childerditch,
was discovered to be on fire. Assistance quickly arriv-
ing, a stack of straw standing near was speedily removed,
otherwise the barns and other buildings must hare fallen
a prey to the flames, the wind blowing in a direction to
increase the devastation. Inspector Burton, of the
police force, observing the fire at a distance, hastened
to the spot, and, from information he obtained,. was in-
duced to take into custody John and Charles Pigott, the
former seventeen and the latter fourteen years of age.
They were examined before the Rev. J. Lewis, on
Monday, the Right Hon. Lord Petre also attending, and
the prisoners stated that they were about d
