ADJOURNED INQUEST-THIS DAY.  --•- - - --The coroner's inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Emaley, who was barbarously murdered at her residence, 9, Grove-road, Mile-end, was resumed this morning before Mr. Humphezy, the coroner for East Middlesex, at the Railway Tavern, Grove-road, a few doors only from the house lately occupied by the murdered woman.  The proceedings created the most intense interest in the neighbourhood, in consequence of its being generally expected that Mullins, the man in custody on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the murder, would be in attendance.  Mr. Young attended to watch the proceedings on the part of Emms, and Mr. Wood for tho accused, Mullins. •  On the arrival of the Coroner he informed the jury that be should not require their attendance for any lengthened period, as he did not intend to proceed with the hearing of evidence that morning, as the accused was not in attend•. ance. He had, as the jury were aware, been in communication with the Secretary of State for the Rome Department, with the view of obtaining the attendance of the prisoner Mullins, and in answer to his application to that effect, Sir George C. Lewis handed him a note, stating that certain legal technicalities would prevent the prisoner from being in attendance on Monday (this day), but by Tuesday all the necessary forms would be completed, and he would attend the Coroner's Court onTuesday(to-morrow); if the inquiry was adjourned to that day. He (the Coroner) thought it was of the utmost importance to the ends of justice and the prisoner that he should be present to hear the whole of the evidence against him, and in order that such might be the case he should adjourn the court until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.  A Juror said, before they adjourned he should liko to ask the Coroner whether he could give them any information as to finding the hammer, as some strange story on the point had appeared in the newspapers.  The Coroner said the proper person to answer the question relating to the hammer was the officer, and as he was not then in attendance he should decline to answer the question. He might, however, say the account that had appeared in some of the newspapers was very incorrect, but that was not attributable to the gentlemen who attended from those establishments to report the proceedings. The statement had got inte the papers in some indirect manner. The juror remarked that he was only anxious that it should be known that the details published relative to the finding of the hammer had not yet been given in evidence, The proceedings were then adjourned until to-morrow moraing.  It is to be hoped some more effective arrangements will be made by the police to prevent the overcrowding of the inquest-room by persons merely anxious to gratify a morbid curiosity. The heat of the place this morning was intense, although the proceedings only occupied a short time ; but what the state of it will be to-morrow morning, if the same crowd is admitted, and the proceedings extend over some hours, those unfortunately compelled to b,3 p'rt,,ent-, will only b, able to  The Pharc de la Manche announces that the corvette Artemise, bearing the pennant of Capt.
