The Week.

The trial closed on Saturday . The day began with the summoning of witnesses for the defence , the principal of them being called to prove an alibi , which , however , was not so precise in point even of time as to make it impossible that Muiler might hare committed the mnrder . The Solicitor General then addressed the jury in reply , and the Lord Chief Baron summed up

the principal points of the evidence with great clearness and with scrupulous impartiality . The jury retired for about a quarter of an hour , after which they returned into court and delivered their verdict—Guilty . Baron Martin , after stating that the Chief Baron and he fully concurred in the verdict , solemnly sentenced the prisoner to death . Muiler was a good

deal agitated , and in a few broken words said he had been convicted on false evidence , and that he would die innocent . According to present arrangements , Muiler will be executed on the 1-lth inst . A melancholy loss of life at sea is reported

from Hartlepool . Tho crew of a foundered vessel , consisting of seven men and a boy , had taken to the dingey , and were tossed about in a rough sea , when another vessel bore down to their rescue . They got alongside , and were in the act of securing the boat prexious to being taken on board , when some awkwardness occurring the dingey was upset , and the whole of the men were

precipitated into the sea , and perished in the sight of the men who had come to their deliverance . A young man named Haigh was apprehended at Chester on Saturday last on a charge of having forged cheques to the extent of £ 2 , 000 at Huddersfield . After some time expended iu tracing him from his native town to Chester , he was apprehended in a first-class carriage ,

with a through ticket to Cork . It seems he had possessed himself of a cheque book belonging to his brother , by which means he was enabled to carry out his frauds . The stockbroker Burrows , who was apprehended some time ago when

attempting to abscond with some £ 10 , 000 worth of Confederate Bonds , was brought up before the magistrates at the Guildhall on Saturday last , when some further evidence was given in the case , after which he was again remanded . Another person , Duncan M'Lean Wright , of Liverpool , has been taken custody on the charge of being connected with the attempt to defraud Messrs . Garcia , Rubet , and Brothers of

wine to the value of several thousand pounds . It will be remembered that a , person named De Witt is already in custody on this charge . The prisoner made no defence and was remanded . It appears that the prosecutors are likely to recover all the property of which it was attempted to defraud them . Early on Monday morning a servant in the family of

Captain Dow , of Rodwell , Weymouth , alarmed the household by cries of " Murder , " and on some of the inmates going to her room , she stated that a man , who had just escaped from the window , had pounced upon her while she was asleep . Marks of violence were found on the girl's neck , a ladder had certainly been raised against her window , and at daybreak the body of a

marine was found at the bottom of a railway cutting behind the house . It was clear , from the footmarks , that this was the man who had entered the room , hut his object in doing so is a matter of doubt . A lamentable circumstance occurred at the Horley station of the London and Brighton Railway on Saturday morning . An elderly lady entered upon the platform

just as the train came in , and either stooped or fell clown upon the rail , when one of the wheels of a carriage rested on her chest . She had been staying in the neighbourhood , ancl was to have returned by that train to her own residence at Peckham . ' The inquest on the gas-fitter who was found in the Green Park has been concluded . It was clearly proved that tho poor Man had sustained injuries which must have been inflicted by "lows ; but there was no possibility of tracing their infliction .

The jury therefore returned an open verdict , but censured th authorities at St . George ' s Hospital for sending the man away under the impression that he was drunk when he was really in a fit . An inquest was held on Saturday on the body of a girl who was found dead in a house of ill-fame . Her relations thought she had been murdered , hut surgical evidence showed

that she had died from disease of the heart , accelerated by her dissipated habits , and the jury returned a verdict accordingly , with a censure on the parties who draw the rents from such disreputable houses as that in which the girl died . A destructive fire broke out in Hull on Tuesday morning in a corn warehouse , which was stated to have contained at the

time an immense quantity of grain . The flames were first seen about three o ' clock in the morning , and in a short time the whole building was one mass of flame . It is not known how the fire occurred . A meeting of colliers was held at

Coseley on Saturday last , at which it was agreed that , with some exceptions , the strike should be terminated and the men should return to their work . It was admitted that the men had endured great privations during the strike , which has lasted for seventeen weeks . It would seem that the whole of the colliers on strike in South Staffordshire , excepting those in

the West Bromwicli and Oldlmry districts , are about to resume work . The West Bromwich and Oldbury men will remain out , and will be supported by those who have found it hopeless to continue the struggle with the masters . The Canadian steamship Jura ran ashore at Crosby Point , Liverpool , a few days ago , but on the tide ebbing she was left

dry on a bank , and broke in two amidships . About a fortnight ago the ship Galloway arrived in the Thames from Calcutta , with several of the crew ill ; and one old seaman , aged GS , died soon after lie was brought ashore . As it was reported

that the crew had suffered from a scarcity of provisions a coroner's inquest was held , which was resumed on Wednesday last , when several of the crew were in attendance . It was proved that the crew had been put on short allowance of water , and had run out of vinegar and lime-juice- But the death of the sailor was traced to natural causes , and the jury returned a

verdict to that effect , adding that it was accelerated from the want of stimulants . A serious fire broke out at an early hour on Wednesday morning in Finsbury . The premises of Mr . Cook , an extensive cabinet maker , were entirely gutted , and the adjoining houses were for a time placed in much danger ; but by the groat exertions of the firemen they were preserved and the lives of the inmates saved .

FOREIGN - INTELLIGENCE . —The visit of the Emperor Napoleon to the Czar at Nice was limited to one day . On Saturday the Emperor set out on his return , stopping at Toulon to inspect the squadron , and at Lyons to review the troops . On Saturday he was at Marseilles , and returned to St . Cloud on Monday evening . During his brief stay . at Marseilles

the Emperor had an interview with the King of the Belgians . The proposed establishment of a Caisses des Travaux Publics , with power to issue six per cent . Bonds without the control of the Legislature , has caused much distrust in commercial circles , and is looked on as a return to the system of unlicensed credits which was abolished on the accession of M . Fould to

office . An official report in the columns of the Moniteur records the enthusiastic reception given to the Emperor by the inhabitants of Marseilles . The Convention still forms the subject matter for long and fierce discussion to the French press ; but that is probably for want of something now upon which to exercise their controversial powers . Nearly all that can be advanced pro and con . that piece of diplomacy must have alread y been said . Several of the Vienna journals assert that a con :-
