SEPT. 13, 1856.  His HoNona: Did you ever object to any demands made upon you by Pemberton? Bankrupt : Yes. Mr. BATESON : Then, why did y3ll borrow money of him after having objected to his charges for interest ? Bankrupt : Because I could usually get money of him when wanted it. . _  Mr. Maxxsox : And you mean to tell us that it is true, Si stated among your trade expenses, that in five years and a half Mr. Pemberton has charged you 4,0721. 17s. 4d. for interest on loans ? Bankrupt : That is correct. By consent, the examination was adjourned for three weeks. Mr. Bateson observed that there would not be much difficulty in showing where the corn money had gone to.  AN ELDNIILY MAN AND A YOUNG WOEIAN with a child entered the parlour of the Malt Mill inn at Armley near Leeds on Thursday about noon. Shortly afterwards a younger man joined them. The old man went out, and in a few minutes the landlord, hearing shrieks of " Murder !" rushed into the parlour, and saw the man and woman struggling on the floor. Several persons hurried into the room at the same time, and the man springing up escaped. The poor woman's throat was frightfully cut ; medical assistance was instantly sent for, but she died very shortly. A hot pursuit after the villain was commenced, and in about an hour a man covered with blood, but wearing a clean shirt over all, was arrested, identified, and locked up. Au inquest will be held at ones.  Ma. Barna, the drunken retired excise collector charged with the murder of his with, has been discharged from custody for want of evidence. Da. MATCHAM, a surgeon.accoucheur, at Lowestoff, has been committed to prison, charged with having, by unskilful treatment in labour, caused the death of pm Mary Jeekells. THE HAMPTON CounT adjourned inquest upon the body of the man Solomons, found dead in the Thames on July 28, was resumed and concluded on Tuesday. Beyond the medical testimony of Dr. Garrett as to the result of the post-mortem examination, no further evidence of importance was adduced. Dr. Garrett merely stated that he had discovered eleven shots in the left lung and body, and that the rents in the heart supposed to be stabs were caused by the explosion of the firearm. Mr. Wakley then summed up at length, declaring his conviction on the evidence that Solomons was a madman, and his belief that he had destroyed himself, for it was quite probable that some one at Hampton, finding the body, had rifled the pockets, and then tumble the body into the river. For some time previous to his death the man had committed all sorts of eccentricities, such as biting a piece out of a tumbler and chewing the glass, threatening to murder his sister and Mr. Davis, and to take away his own life : His own conviction was that the man had died by his own hand, that he discharged the pistol himself deliberately, and with a fixed determination to destroy his own life. Then, it might be said, why did not the shot go through the Guernsey shirt? In answer to that he would say that there were such things done by madmen when committing there rash acts that those peculiarities could not be accounted for. Every now and then a man would leave a hall-room, pull off his best clothes, and put on his worst to cut his throat. Another would carefully bleed himself to death in a washhand basin, because he would not spoil the carpet or table-cover. There was no accounting for this ; it was quite possible that this man had lifted up his shirt with one hand for the purpose of placing the pistol nearer the heart, with a view to a more certain death. He (the coroner) therefore did not think that there was anything peculiar in that. There was another circumstanoe somewhat remarkable in the man's conduct—namely, that he had left his waistcoat and watch at home, and Mrs. Arnold had stated that he had never done so before. It appeared to him (the coroner) that the deceased had lett his watch with a determination to commit suicide before his return. It was a relief to one's mind that there had been no murder committed at all.  The jury, after considering the evidence for some twenty minutes, returned a verdict, " That the deceased had died 'rota wounds inflicted by a pistolshoi,, but whether such wounds were self-inflicted or inflicted by some other person, there was not sufficient evidence to show." The matter, under these circumstances, still remains open for farther inquiry. TITZ GAROTTE MEN are not particular in their choice of neighbourhood, but they evince a partiality for archways and mews. On Sunday night 141. Sapseid, a tradesman in Charles street, Grosvenor-square, while on his way home, turned down an archway in Bruton-street. In an instant he was seized by a couple of men:—  prisoner Garrett caught him round the throat, and dragged him down, compressing the throat with so much force as to prevent him from calling out or doing any snore than groan. The other prisoner, Murphy, came up to him, and beat him about the face with his fist, cutting his mouth and making it bleed. The prisoner Murphy then laid hold of the Albert chain attached to his watch and tore it awsy. His groans fortunately attracted the attention of the police, who hastened to the spot, and the prisoners ran off. The prisoner Garrett squeezed his throat so tightly that he was all but strangled, and he was still sutlering from the injury indicted upon him. His watch was not taken, but the Albert chain, worth about was taken away, and had not been found.
