The Sun. — 1847-11-16 (London, England)

ICH., of the Royal Marines, was president, assembled at eleven o'clock, A.M., on Saturday, the 13th inst., at this garrison, for the trial of Private Robert Carter, No. 2,344, Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, for desertion. The president said, Prisoner, you have heard the charge read against you, are you guilty or not? The prisoner hung down his head and refused to answer, when the president told him that if he refused answering he should take it as a plea of guilty. The prisoner commenced sobbing, and pleaded guilty, saying that he had committed a henious offence, and that they might hang him if they liked. The prisoner has been in the corps fifteen months, out of which time he has been in prison seven months ; he is a native of Canterbury, and previous to his enlistment was a shipwright in Woolwich Dockyard. This is the second desertion of the prisoner, and when he found that he was to be tried by a general court martial he made a confession that he was an accessory to the murder of George Clark, one of the metropolitan police, at Dagen ham, in Essex, in May, 1846, and that it was he that inflicted the wound in the policeman's information nsoner's confession was laid before Sir George Grey, and,gevening. after an examination by the proper authorities, the fr ai tlie o p nrio im rr conelusion is that the prisoner has merely stated that he was the murderer to get out of the service.

On Sunday evening, after taking his tea, he went up stairs, as Was clean himself for the evening, but shortly supposedafterwards to strange noise was heard to proceed from 1 a which excited suspicion, and on Mr. its bed-room, •Potter goine• to the room he found the door locked on the inside once or twice without receiving any ans'wer, lleed on alled forcing the door a most distressing sight presented itself: The young man was found lying in a pool of blood, with his head dreadfully shattered. A pistol was close by his body. which evidently had been recentlydischarged. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who. upon his arrival, pronounced life quite extinct. From the examination made by the surgeon, it is quite clear that the deceased must have placed the mouth of the pistol to his left temple, and have fired the contents into his skull. The Jenny Lind, of and from Prince Edward's Island, Drody, master, arrived at Southampton on Saturday. She reports that she met, on October 28, the barque Amity, of and from Liverpool, from Richebucto, water-logged.

IrUEVDAY 141 ?I G NOVEMBER, 18, quarter a of cent was submitted. to ;' but for the past three days the business has been to a fair extent, and chiefly for export, so that no further decline is observable ; but, on the contrary, the market has the appearance of firmness, and on some descriptions a shade advance has been realized. Our quotations are varied in conformity. The receipts at all the shipping ports are 112.180 bales, against 95,401, to the same dates last year—an increase this season of 7,079 bales. The total foreign export this year is 55,192 bales more than last, say 38,065 increase to Great Britain, 14,712 increase to France, 6,579 increase to North of Europe, but 4,164 less to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 1,559 bales less this season than last; but there is an excess in stock of 42,399 bales. The sales since our last are 4,600 bales.
