THE FIRST OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE CONFEDERATE TREASURY. (From the Economist). The circular of their Secretary of the Treasury gives no very encouraging account of the pecuniary resources cf the Confederate States. So complete is tho oflicial f-iliwe of the ruicrs of the New Co.timouweallh, that We have now, fur the first time, a distinct account of the liatme of the cotton loan, of which so many vague do- v, till ima havo heen hazarded, in the first place, it is not it Is an or a duiiiievipti,,)ii" of cult or. at all. It gives the government no light 10 any specific bales w hatever. It is only nn engngement on the pa t of the planter to fcubtcr be, l'or tho use of tl.c government, a ceitaiu sun. of money out of the proceeds of a certain number of bales of cotton when sold. Tho planter retains the produce in his custody, has tho ex. lusive light of declaring when be will sell it, and at w hat price he will sell it. The poveinmout pet nothing in prasenti, and it is open to the obvious rlfects of many contingencies wheUur the government will ever get anything. The planter ma\ tu come bankrupt, and the cotton on his estate may be erizjil by his creditors or he may be needy and irau- duler.t, and dhpose of the crop suireptitiously. All the government appears to receive is an orcer on the lactor or cumraisMon agent who is to conduct the sale; 1 ut the factor can have no present possession of the cotton, for the government WIJl not permit it lo be brought down to the Beaport to* n wliera lie conducts his bmiiuss. Ho can ouly pay the govertimeiit when he receives and sells the cotton, and, especially if the con- ic deiate government stiould chance to be successful, he may never receive or sell it. Sonie other broker, who has no coguisance of the tiausaution, may be select- ed to scti the cotton and to transmit the pioceeds to the planter. From other parts of Mommingc/s circular, it would a; pjar that just now the p auti rs are extremely desirous or caih. What, then, it may be ask^d, do the government get by this uuceituin promise to make a loan at a distant period ? They gain, or hope to gain, J.ILfent credit. They bind the most wealthy part of the population to give them aid, not indeett iiuw,-for even the richt-it planters have now little money, though much cuiton,— but as suon as it is ill their power. The govern- ell it cun from its future subjects, and it must do wilti it as 'tt it tuay. The government must want ireiiit exceedingly. It is issuing piumis,or) notes, which Mr Meu.11jin.5er officially tells us have have tupplaated all the oiber cuireney of the coun'iy. It is eunying on a war of existence upon credi', and the HI Avc,;L.!L;r is ill,t it is so successiul us it iius been. Pi ubablv, rather stringent measures would be put in fjreo both by the goytriiliterit tirid the p ipulace against any cautious persons who objected to tske Treasury notes. As the government are issuing a vast piper currenu,v, it nalui-a'l i- to have some vagub con- nection with real wealth, and asks even the present promise of a nominally secured loan at nn in<h finitely distant period. Such is the glio-pje which Mr Mem- lniuger alfoids ol his own treasury. The account he gives of tl at uf the pUntera is not much better. It ap- piars they wan t a loan too. As they are to lend to the government somethiug hen alter, a-i soon aa tiat!y have s< 1 i their iottou, they ask the government to lend them a little now tj cany them over the trying interval pre- vious to its sale. '1 he government is issuing countless lp,t)aiiE&Gry notes, and the planters would like, not un- naturally, some for their own use. lint upon this Mr Mtinuiinger is even amusingly stern. He is nut dt- li lent it. political iconomy. lie days he wants his notes lor hiiuseii. lie i.bs a veiy expensive war to carry on, and his resources ate tried to the utmost, and no portion ol them can be squandered. If lie helped the planters, he would issue so many notes tiiit the wilde eiim-n y would le ficpreciat) I, and eo the gov. rnmt-nt would have to pay ill a medium which became Itss fend less ttli. iciit every day. It is evident that the difficulty which we p lii^tjd out many months since is pressing upon the Luulutlcrule States. We shovied, on the 23til el March, lSLil, at the Southern States were utteily de- fective in pecuniary resotirces,-tiiut the d- posits in their bílllk were only £ 15,tiOU,UUU, a little nine than those of a single L mdoa Joint-stock 15 ink. Air hleiii- mincer rcejinmeiids the planters to a"k aid from the banks; but if the banks hall plenty of looney to lend, the pi inters would not have petitioned Mr Meuiuituger.

Such is M.

» I MORE GOLD MINES. I (From the Examiner.) In June last a i-.cw discovery of prolific gold mines was made at Otago, in Now Zealand, which bid fair to rival th Ie ot Cahforuia and Victoria, and far excel thote of N ew Columbia. In the month of August alone the pro- duce of the liP-IV mines was sixteen thousand ouncep, of the value of £ 04,000. The amount was obtained by the rude proctsses which were first practised by the miners of Californu and Australia, and by no more than 3,000 diggers. Of the New Zealand gold 31,000 ounces, of the value of £ 124,000, had already reached Sydney and Victoria on their way to England. No sooner was this known than the Australian mining labourers, whose prolitii are greatly diminished through the competition of companies working with capital and machinery, forth- with embarked for Now Zealand to the surprising num- ber of some 12,000. It in reasonable to expect that the superior skill of these practised miners will be more productive than that of the unskilled ones now at work; but if it be only equally eo, and the number of miners ollual 15,000, producing at the rate of the month of August throughout the year, the annual produce will be of the value of £ 3,840,000. From this must, of course, be deducted thu season in which mining cannot be ear- ned on, which will, on the other hand, be balanced by the superior productiveness of skilled labour. Should Ibis estimate turn out to be correct, the first years of the told of New Zealand will be larger than those of the same puriod in California, New South Wales, or Vic- toria. In reference t) this discovery. the Australian newspapers prophesy, and we think not extravagantly, that in the year 1811 our colonies in the southern hemisphere will contain a p pulation of threo millions which was that of our American colonies when they paricl from this country. Certainly this is good pro. gress.

REVIEW OF THE COITN TRADE. I The supply of rain during the past week has not only furnished a l that was necessary fur the surface, but many wells which lately were dry are becoming available, though perhaps the entire wiutir must pass over ere the full complenieut be obtained. The rncidiws, which till recently yielded a good bite, will be no longer tervieeable aud live stock are thrown up*n the summer's stores. These being pretty good, with winter shotteue-I by the tiiie ouiiiiin, and the land mostly well wrought, the cereal season opens with a fair promise. The young wheat generalty haa a satiifactory appearance, though as usual there are some complaints but a dty subsoil h a good guarantee for the future. The wheat trade during the week nas brcn inactive some markets continued the up- ward movemtnt, but these were few, and generally no change of ^alue has been noted. Foreign arrivals have been only moderate, but gi-etu likely to increase in CJn. seq nnce of the continued depression iu France. Such however, as were sanguine in their expectation of a large iieet of return cargoes tind very little movement of the kind; nor does this seem likely, excepting some cargoes from Marseilles. The wants of that country have been so clearly pointed out, thut the question of working off present stocks is only oue of time aud with its progress we shall very probably see advancing ratfs. As the french lately had every market to themselves, it is now England's torn and she will find willing sellers in every porro of consequonce throughout the world. Her belter system of finance aud greater means are sure to find sui- tors when only pbi ling her time. Paiis and every French port are as duil as possible, though some country markets closed higher. Hollaud, Belgium, Northern Europe, and the Baltic make offers on more favourable terms; and monttary pressure renders Odessa tractabl e. The Italian markets, notwithstanding their partial deli- cieucy, find more than they cin do with frointhe Lsvant; niid the prices of breadstuff* at New York culac rather lower. The sales of wheat noted last week wero 108,545 qra fit o'Ji bd, qrs. in 1860. The Loudon averages wen Gilt 10d. I TOllKtON.

I THE WAR IN AMERICA. The City of Baltimore, from New York, arrived at L7e 0 ? on Saturday. This steamer was detained in v?U:aoe 0; very bad weather in the Atlantic. THE SITUATION. The New York Times, of November 3, under tho head of The Rebellion," s iy s:—" A despatch to the Hula- delphia lress states that General M'Clellan has through means not made public, informed himself very minutely of the movements of tho enemy, the number and strength of their batteries at and in the vicinity of Manassas Junction, the number of guns they have mounted, and the strength of their army. Ho is guided in his opera. lions by a full knowledge of all their impclftant movements. Affairs on the lower l'otomac continuo unchanged. An adventurous vessel occasionally runs the rebel blockade at night, but the navigation of the river may be considered practically closed for the present. Itis rumoured in Wash. mgton that the rebels purposely allow some of the oyster boats to run up,as they givothem f acilitiesfor sondingspies to the capital. From certain matters that have been de. veloped during the past few days t here is no doubt but that there is some truth in this. The great fleotprobi- bly reached its destination on Friday at least we judge so, from tho fact that our despatch from Fortress Mon. roe, dated Friday, expresses that supposition. The tug Ethan Allan, which returned to old Point on Thursday, reported that she left the floot off Cape llattoras, and that the Ferry-boats Eagle and CommodorePerrv had already become separated from the other vessels. The Roanoke reports heavy weather about the coast. Amid the con. flicting rumours relativo to tho movements of the rebels in Missouri, it is difficult to determine what to place con- fidence in. Price was reported to boin half-a-dozen dif- ferent places—at one time preparing to make a stand against General Fremont, and at another making the best of his way towards the Arkansas border. We have now a repetition of the rumour placing him at Neoska. A cor- respondent of the St. Louis Democrat says that he is there with Ben. M'Cullock, with a command of 30,000 men, and intends to wait there for General Fremont and fight him, expressing the belief that he will be able to Whip him. He i3 stated to have received a supply of cloth- ing, arms, and medicines. Should this prove correct we may expect soon to hear of an important battle. The Lawrence Republican of October 21th, brings us intelli- genco of serious troubles in Kansas. On October 13th, an armed body of i ebels, among them.several Chorokee3, surrounded Humboldt, in the Allen County, and after plundering the stores, began to fire all the buildings. Twenty-one houses and stores and a mill-more than one-half the buildings in the place-ware consumed. The military company of the town chanced to be drilling without arms at the time, and no resistance could be made. On tho night of October 22, the armed men visited Gardner, Johnstone county, and succeeded in getting goods to the amount of perhaps 8,000 dols., including all the guns sent thither by the governor, for the protection of the town. Governor Robinson had despatched an armed company for the apprehension of these outlaws. TheLoavonworth Conservative, has an account of a fight that took place at Plattsbourg, in Clinton county, 15 miles south of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, on Sunday night, October 27. A force of 700 Union men attacked and captured a camp of rebels, killing eight of them, taking twelve prisoners, and a lo of small arms. According to the Lexington Obserccr and Reporter, many of the sympathisers with the secession movement in Kentucky, who made their way to tho rebel camp at Prestonburgh, a few wOi!ks since, are now returning to their homes. They give a deplorable account of the state of things in the mountains. The rebels there ore utterly destitute of the commonest necessaries of lite. A letter from a staff officer of General Kelley, pab. lished in the Wheeling Intelligencer, gives some interest- ing particulars of the battle of Ronmey. According to the plan of attack, as devised by General Kelley, one column of the national troops was to move from Patter- son's Creek, by way of Frankfort and Springfield, upon the north side of Romney, while a second approached from the west by the Norih-Wostern turnpike. The first column drove everything before it, but tho second was checked in its advance, and the largor part of the enemy's forces effected their escape. They lost ten guns and thirty baggage waggons, but it is not stated that so large a number of prisoners was taken as reported. "Following the example of some formidable potentates, King Kamehameha, of the Sandwich Islunds, has issued a proclamation enjoining a strict neutrality upon his subject 'in the hostilities now unhappily pending between the government ofthe United States and certainstateathereof. styling themselves the Confederate States of America. He forbids privateoring by any of his subjects, declares that no adjudication of prizes taken by either party shall be allowed in the ports of the islands, and closes the harbours to tho privateers and prizes of the contending parties, except in cases of distress or compulsory delay by stress of weather." The Herald of the 2nd says: "Intelligence was IO. ceived at Washington yesterday from a fugitive that tho rebels had erected strong fortifications at Centroville, and that their camps, numbering 50,000 mon, extended from Manassas to within two miles of Fairfax Court House, having 10,000 at Manassas. A new rebel battery, consisting of three rifled cannon, has been discovered on the Virginia shore, a little bolow Evansport, and a mile and a half larther down on tho Potomac than any batteries that lvive hitherto shown themselves. With this exception, there is no appearaneo of activity among the rebels in that region. Tho ücurge Ilage still remains at Quantice Creek. From Fortress Monroe we liavo an account 01 tne re- turn of the United States barquo Amada from a cruise in which she captured four prizes attempting to run the blockade—three being English and one American. From the Upper Potomac we learn, by way of Da. mcrtoun, Md., that the rebels had pickcts posted on Har. rison's Island yesterday. At last accounts the main body of the rebels was at Goose Creek, seven miles south from Leesburg, which place, it is said, they abandoned the day after the battlo of Bull's Bluff, upon healing that General Banks's forces had crossed the river. Eight hundred rebel prisoners, from Fort Lafayette, arrived in Boston yesterday, and wero received at Fort Warren by Colonel Dunne:k, who commands that station. "General Dix, commanding the military district of Baltimore, has issued a proclamation calling upon mar- shals to arrest all parties offering themselves at the polls who have been participants directly or indirectly in the rebellion against tho govornment, many of whom, he understands, intond to use their infiuonco at the coming election for the purposo of furthering the interests of tho rebols." THE GREAT NAVAL EXPEDITION. I A despatch t) the New Yorl, Time*, dated Fortress Monroe, November i, says :—" The Ethan Allen repcrta that she left titti fleet olf Capo Ha.ttora, and tl1:t the ferryboats Eaglo aud Commodore Perry had already, been separated in -ia the ober vessels.

MRS. GALLAGHER AND THE "TALKING FISH." The notorious casa Benshinol v. Gallagher came before the Bail Court, on Saturday. The action was first tried twelve months ago, and this was a new trial. It was brought to recover JE60, duo for wages for attending to the once celebrated talking fish," In 1858 the plain. tiff came from England to Gibraltar, as the servant of a person named Cavanah, who was owner of the "talking fish." He had commenced his attendance upon the fiah abroad, and continued to be its attendant until its death; he managed it-he educated it—he tucked it up at night —he slept with it, and never left it. The fish was pur- chased, by a person named Pollard, who had represented himself to be the agent of the defendant, for £ 30U. Pollard agreed to give the plaintiff £1 a week, his beard and lodging, and clothes, and he was to be allowed to receive gratuities. Vory few gratuities were received, as people were glad to get away. The fish was a large seal. On behalf of the defendant the alleged agreement was repudiated, and the oniy understanding was that the plaintiff was to have his clothes and gratuities, and that the plaintiff frequently had 10s. and 15s. a day. Pollard deposed to these facts, and in cross-examina- tion admitted that he and the defendant were living together as man and wife. He had not been tried for bigamy, but for stealing X2000 worth of bills from tho Emperor Louis Napoleon. This was fourteen years ago, and he was honourably acquitted, not on a flaw in the indictment, but cn the merits of the case. Was never indicted with Elizabeth Pollard, and did not know such a person. No one charged him with having caused the death of Dutch Sam's widow. The verdiot was, Death from natural causes." Did not keep a brothel in Liver. pool, but barristers sometimes lived there. Had ono other house, and did not know whether that was a bro, hel. Did not know much of the defendant's private history, nor how long he had lived with her. Was a commission agent, but did not sell goods. Was a racing broker, and did the best he could, like other gentlemen. Mrs. Gallagher gave similar testimony as to the en. gagement of the plaintiff. A person named Fanny Francis managed one of Pollard a houses at Liverpool. She had stated on the former tr.al that men and women who had frequented that house produced their marriaga certificates before they went to bod. There was a wine licence for the house. She had behaved to tho plaintiff as if he had been her own child, and gave him money to spend when he asked for it. When the seal died the plaintiff cried, and she told him he might continue where he was until ho obtained another situation, and sho main. tained him for four months. lie could scarcely speak English when he nrst came to England. Ho sometimes wore five Ehirts at a time, becau. o they could not make him understand that he must change his linen. Fanny Francis was called, and her evidonco on the for- mer trial was read over to her from the judge's notes. The plaintiff had stated to her what the agreement wit- him was, and that agreed with what tlio detendant's witnesses had stated. Somo men broucht their wives to the house, and, unasked, had shown her their marriage certificates. It appeared that ono of the terms of granting a new trial was that the defendant should pay JM5 into court. This had been done. At four o'clock the jury camo into court, and gavo a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £ 45.

Mr. Godley, assistant under secretary for war, died on Monday. The brig Sunshine, of Hartlepool, has foundered: crew supposed to have been saved. A new R man Catholic church, in the early French style, costing X2,000, aad to contain 200 persons, was opened on Sunday, at Huyton, near Liverpool. A few days ago, four men named Denis Bohan, Charles M'Carthy, Daniel and Denis Mahonywero drowned while taking in their nets, by the upsetting of their boat in Bantry Bay.

ftLL OF A BRIDGE ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The traffic on the Groat Northern Railway during the whole of Friday was greatly impeded owing to a rather serious accident which occurred on the line near Hunt- ingdon by the fall of a bridge. It appears that eariy on Friday morning a luggage train was passing over a bridge which crosses the highway near Huntingdon, when the engine driver thought he noticod a slight fall in the stonework, and on rcaciiing the next station he gave information of his fears. The bridge was examinod immediately, and was found to have sunk to an extent which rendered it unsafe to allow any additional trains to pass. Every precaution was of course taken to secure the safety of succeeding trains, and the express from London, which followed shortly afterwards, was delayed for nearly three hours, the passengers and their luggage having to be carried round and placed in another train on the other side of the bridge.

THE YELVERTON MARRIAGE CASE. I -&. This case again came before the Court of Session at Edinburgh, on Nov. 14. At the close of last session the Lord Ordinary, on the motion of the counsel for the defender (Major Yelverton), prorogated the time for closing ana reporting his proof to the third sederunt day in November. The proof was commenced in Ireland by commission in September, but did not proceed far, the pursuer's counsel objecting to the questions put, on tho ground that if the identity of the defender was to be proved, he must be confronted with the witness. The last diet of proof held at Newry was adjourned till a future day, on the motion that the pursuer and the defender both should be confronted with the witnesses—against which decision of tho Commission ( r. Crich n the pursuer appealed. The Conjugal (Mr. Cricht(oSnc)o, tland) (under which the proof in con. Rights Act sistorial cases is to be before the Lord Ordinary) having come into operation before the expiry of the time allowed for the defender's proof, he now sooka for for a further prorogation of the time to the 15th of December; (2) for a remit to the Lord Ordinary to support a diet of proof for the defender before his Lordship; and (3) for an order on the pursuer and defender to appear personally for identification by the witnesses. A motion to the above effect was made on Thursday and supported at length by Mr. Millar for the defender. Mr. Fraser, ior the pursuer, resisted the motion, and complained of the delay and expense to which his client had been unnecessarily sub. jected. At the close of the discussion his Lordship con. tinued the case till Saturday. On Saturday Lord Ard- millan prorogated the time for concluding and reporting the defender's proof till tho 15th of December, of new allowed proof to the defender and to the pursuer a con. junct probation and, in respect to the provisions of the Conjugal Rights (Scotland) Act, appointed the said proof to be laid before himself on the 4th of December and following days and in respect of the circumstances appearing from the reports of the proof at Dublin and Newry, and that both pursuer and defender now de- sire the attendance of both parties for identification by the witnesses, ordains both parties to attend personally the diets of proof and reserved all questions of expense, and all appeals not disposed of by this judgment. It may be stated, that as the Scotch law does not admit of the par- ties themselves being examined as witnesses to the mar. riage, Major and Mrs. Yelverton will attend for identifi. cation only.

NAVAL AND MILITARY EXPENDITURE. (From tho Observer.) There 11', we are happy to hear, a prospect of a sensible saving in the total amouut of the cost of the army during the coming year; but as this will be effected mainly by the return of regiments from fo-eign service enabling us to discontinue recruiting, our forces at home, available for any service that may be required of them, and always securing the safety of the country, will not in tho least degree be diminished, but rather, in point of fact, aug- mented beyond the total of the past year. The Artillery and Engineers, as well as the Marine Light Infantry and Artillery, will be kept up to their present full strength. We cannot expect much reduction in our naval expendi. ure whilst the building of the iron-cased vessels continues, to be urgent, as it must be, until we have recovered the numerical superiority in this particular over our neigh- bours. We must have more vVarriors, aud such ships are enormously costly. But our first essay has been a great success, and no one will deny that even half a million sterling has been well expended when the result is the most formidable sh;p ef war that floats upon the sea. There is, however, another consideration to recon- cile us to the great first cost of an iron floot. Their future cost of maintenance when once finished, is likely to be much loss than that of wooden ships. Iron ships will be still new, without having cost anything for repa- ration, after a duration which could only be secured for & ship of wood by a renewal of structure from stem to stern, and from keel to bulwarks. So in the end these ships in armour are likely to be rather a source of economy than of augmented expenditure. Ono main cauee of ineroaao in the charges tor the navy during recent years was the hurried efforts mado to attract sea- men into the service by hiqh bounlios. At the time when that dovice was adopted, it had, no doubt, becomo a matter of urgency to man the navy at any cost; but the bounty system was a vicious one, and led to waste as well as other evils, of which desertion was the most notorious. A better system is now gradually being perfected. All the difficulties of this question of manning the navy aro not yet surmounted, but a good deal haa been done. The training ships for boys, which are now in operation at the various ports, will soon boarin to give us a regular supply of young teamen thoroughly in- structed in the duties and habituated to the discipline of men-of-war's men, attached to the service, and animated by the very best spirit. The cost of these training and school ships will be an outlay dictated by the ttueat economy.

MURDEROUS ATTACK BY POACHERS. I ——— 0 -——— Early on Friday morning (says the Newcastle Chronicle) the neighbourltood of Lambton was thrown into a state of great excitement by the report that the Lambton game watchers had been severely handled during tho night by a gang of poachers. It appears that lor some nights past a gang of poachers have been susj. ectol of making depredations into the woods adjoining Lambton Castle, I t "? -0 but nothing had been seon of them until between two and threo o'clock on Friday morning. At that time, four of Lord Durham's game watchers—Messrs. Smart, Bowery, Ferguson and Colpits-i%-u, going their rounds, and when in the woods near to Pictree, they heard re- ports as of discharging guns. They heard about ten shots, and from the direction of the noise they supposed the men to Lo in that portion of tho park adjacent to the south turnpike. Suspecting that tho men had ceased Ecaching f, r the nignt, and tliiit they would in alL p;0- ability 0 make along the turnpike in the direction of the Barley Mow j)uo!ie-heu;e, the watclurs t; ok u short cut from l'iutreo to tha Harloy JVIi.w, and there lay in wti The watchers had not waited loiiif 110 they espied a 1) of navvy-looking men appioaeliing under tho covor of the h-t:r;.>:i tho opposite side ot tho load.

Messrs. lie'.very, Ferguson, aud Co!pi.s rushed to the assistance oftherr companion, but were im- mediately mobbed ai-id felled to tho earth. Tho c i!;ea!; was a sevore one, and iu spite of the courage and p-owesa of tho watcherr, the super.oi- numbers of 'he poachers told Feverdy. ThomenfVf-u'utny managed to effect their escape, and left behind them many traces of their do perate encounter. The whole of the watch us are moro or less hurt. Mr. Forgusou seems to have 1, -c-i most fortunate, as ho escaped with only a bruise or tiv) on the body. Hut Messrs. Smart and Browery sustained several severe wounds upon the head, besides bruises on otiter parts of the body.

SHOCKING MURDER IN LONDON. On Friday, between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, &I horrible case of murder occurred in Drury-court, Strand.! It appears that No. 10, in Drury-court, a dingy thorough.; fare leading from'the side of St. Mary's Church, in the Strand, up into Drury-lane, is occupied by a family i the shop on the groun d named Reeves, who tenanted the shop on the ground; floor, and first floor back, and carried on the business of basket-making, chair-caning, and general fumituro dealers. The family, including the father and mother, who, it would appear, woro given to intempsrato habits, consisted of six—Richard Reeves, the son, aged 19;. Mary Ann Reaves, aged 11; and two little chil-, dren, who all assisted in the business. It appearø: that the daughter, Mary Ann Reeves, a pretty tittle-. playful girl, being missed from her accustomed avoca- tions during the day, and not being forthcoming atl dinner time, the parents instituted a search for her in the neighbourhood, where they met with two boys namecl William Corney and William Prior, residing in the same court, who told them that they had shortly previous met their son Richard, who told them that his "father and mother hadn't need any longer look for, e Polly,' his sister, as he had murdered her by strangling her that morning in the coal cellar." This was between one' and two o'clock, and, as may bo imagined, the parenta immediately returned home in a state of conaternation, and on entering the coal cellar underneath the shop they there found the body of their little daughter, pale, lifeless, and strangled by means of a piece of the tarred twine or rope used in the business of-basket making., Information was immediately given to the police at Bow.) street, and the house surgeon at King's College Hospital was communicated with, who, on his arrival, pronounced life to have been oxtinct for several hours. In the mean time Reeves had made bis escape,and was nowhere to be1, found until five o'clock in the afternoon, when he' was found by a detective loaning listlessly against a post in Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. On being accosted; by the officer with the usual tap upon the shoulder, and; told that he must take him in charge for the murder of his sister, Reeves at once admitted it, and made what is called a "clean breast" of it. He was forthwith taken to Bow-street, and the charge having been entered against him he was locked up. The prisoner is rather a fine youth, about 5ft. lin., but of a rough, unruly disposi- lion. Ho was not comfortable at home, nor on good' terms with his family and sister, with whom it would: ieem he had had a quarrel, in consequence of the deceased,' it is said having told tales against him, and it would ap-i pear that revenge could have been the only motive for:, the commission of the savage deed. The family, it ape: pears, have resided in the court for four years, but until the present occurrence had attractedlno attention. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. Richard Reaves, the accused, was charged with tbo; wilful murder of his sister, Mary Anne Reeves, aged llj' at Bow-street on Saturday. Mr. Corrie, the magistrate, having stated the serious. character of the charge against the prisoner, viz., that of murdering his sister by strangling her with a rope, Mary Reeves was then called. She deposed: My hus-' band's name is Thomas Reeves he is a basketmaker, and we live at 10, Drury Court. My little girl, Mary Anne, would have been 11 years of age in January next.. I last saw her alive between ten and eleven o'clock, and. at night she was dead. The prisoner is my step-son—my husband's Bon by a former wife. I have had the care of him since he was eleven years of age. Maiy Anne Reeves was my own daughter. John Lynes: I live at No. 7, Drury-court. I am a porter at the Exeter Hall Hotel. At ten minutes to two I was standing at the corner of Drury-court, when the prisoner came to me, and said he had lost his little sis- ter. He asked me and William Carney (now present) to take a walk with him down the Strand to look for her. We said we would. We took a walk as far as the pillars by St. Clement's Church (Foregate, Clement's Inn). He said, it is of no use your looking for my sister; go home and tell my father if ho wants Mary Anne I have strangled her; she is in the coal cellar." He then went away from us. We went to his father's house, where we saw Mr. Reeves himself. He was tipsy at the time. We went down to the cellar; the father came as far as the; trap, and I went through the trap to the cellar. Super- intendent Durkin observed that the cellar was under the passage, between two rooms, and was entered by a trap in the floor of the passage. Witness conti- nued: We found the body of Mary Ann Reeves., She was lying on her face in the coals, and a small portion of coal had dropped on her cheek. I raised tha, body and carried it as far as the trap. She was dead. Mr. James and Mr. Griffiths took the body of me. They took it from me through tho trap door. Me and William Carney went straight off to the hospital tor a doctor. He had not been in the cellar. Mr. Burnaby: Was there anything round her neck ? Witness: Yes, a piece of vAi clothes line, I think. (The rope was here produced.) That is it. I cannot say whether it was tied round hee neck or no. The prisoner had no question to ask the witness. William Carney: I live at 7, Drury-court, and am a carpenter's labourer. I know the prisoner, and have, known him for years. I knew the little girl who is dead. I saw the prisoner yesterday, and said, 11 Hailo, Dick 1 t.5 go and look for your a.a?r and we agreed to go,. him and me=d Lynes, aM throe of us. When we got? to St. Clement's Church he said, It's no use going any. farther, Bill. If you want my sister, tell my father hei will find her in the cellar." He did not say whether she was alive or dead. He said no more than, Tell father! she is in the cellar, and I have strangled her." He left! us and I ran up to his father's to tell him. Ellen James: I am a married woman. My husband's oameis William James. We live at 10, Drury-court (cry- ing). He is a stage carpenter at Covent Garden Theatre.; I knew the prisoner, and the little girl who is dead—hia stop-sister. I remember yesterday morning at half- past nine she was lost. We live in the second-floor back I room in the same house. About half-past nine, just after my husband had his breakfast, I heard prisoner call Polly." She replied, What is it you want ?" Ho said, I want the keys of the back place (crying again.") Oh, your worship, he was a good boy. She asked him where they were, and he told her where to find them. After that I heard her go down and say, I have found them, Dick." About a quarter to ten Mrs. Reeves called out, Polly, are you upstairs." I said, "No, Mrs. Reeves, she is not. After that I heard Mrs. Reeves inquire for her again. From that time she was missing till Lynes came, aa we?t down to the collar, and he handed her up to me through the trap. I placed the body on the sofa in the: father's shop. There was a string tied round her neck so tight that it was that depth (making about an inch on her finsrer) into the flesh. It was tied with two running knots, and as we could not find a knife we undid it. The body! was on the sofa in the front shop when the doctor came, and it has never been moved up to this time. Mr. Bur- naby: Have you ever heard the boy threaten her?- Many a time, when tho po r boy Mr. Corrie Toll ns what he sa: d.-Witiless wlien she has took the keys away, he said that he could get no bread.

At a quarter to live o'clock, ] saw himloaniug on a post in C.irey-stre at the corner of Searie's-place. I went up to him, put my hand upon him, and said, "I want you." Ho inuacdateiy replied, "I k.ol- what ior. 1 wi.l g> with you. 1 dii it." I said, "Yonac charged witu the murder of your sister; be cautious WliltyOU f r what you "ay I si all- use in evidence." Ho again said, "i did io. Sho aggra- to it. I convoyed li.m io tho station, an d vatcù me to h:w, to U\U sht.i0\), and searched him. i found on him three duplicato. having1 no roftrenco to this charp-e. Mr. Corrie then administered the usual caution to tha prisoner, and asked whether he wisi.eei, after that caution, to say anything. The Prisoner: I don't want to say nothing.—The pri- soner, wi.o h.ad throughout llu proce- dinars, pie-'erved nil air of suileu iud ffor .nce, was c mutitled !u Newgate to take his trial on th,) cliarge of wilful mui-dor. Alter the removal oi the accused, il.eliard liecves, from the Bow-streot police-court to the s'.nti m, to awa t the arrival of tho poi.co-van, it i4 tabid that the father of the wretched youth was perm tted to see him iu the I (jlicu cell, in the pr senco of a cons'able, and that although ha mado no hesitation in confe-siag that ho had Strangled his sister,the only metivo that lie would assign for tho couiniLsiou ot so i-iubolicil au act that she had aggrava-ed hini to do it. On being however, tho callous demeanour ho had prcviou^.y c-sluhi.ed gave way to a ii; rong paroxysm cf grief, aud l.e cr-oti fur some time very piteously. It appears, lrom inquiry in the neighbourhood, that | both the parents were dissipated people, and frequently set intoxicated, when they longht terribly; and that they were, in r fact, in that condition when the discovery was made. Tho accused worked at his father's business of a. basket maker, and was said to be exceedingly indus- itrious indt oiJ, S3 much so, that the business mainly de- pends upon him. He frequently quarrelled with the de-i ceased, who was his half sister, of whom he was exceed. ingIy jealous, as whilst he was cuffed and pushed about parbcu:arly by his stepmother, she was a great fa-vonrito • and was pemutted to ridicule and annoy him with un?
