in Sussex and Surrey , and a portion of whom were oon-Srned in the Frimley murder * was sentenced to trans-Station for life . On Saturday he escaped from the ? pwes prison , where he had been since confined , awaitimr an order from the Secretary of State for his transfer to the hulks , preparatory to his sentence being carried out - but both ho and another convict—a man named Henry Ade , uuder sentence of transportation for fifteen vears—were shortly afterwards retaken . Mary Hannah Newman , the wife of a carpenter , living at Bermondsey , cut the throat of her child , and afterwards cut her own throat , on Saturday . It was a dreadful tragedy . The child had been out , and on returning rin ud stairs , was met at the door by her mother , and
rolled down stairs bleeding profusely . The jury returned the following verdict . " That the younger deceased was in law wilfully murdered by her mother , who destroyed her own life , she being at the time in a state of insanity . " A strange murder has been committed near Daventry . An old woman named Pinckard , left alone in her cottage by her husband and son , was found dead by a passer by . A piece of tape was tied loosely round her neck , and fastened to a small brass hook , used to suspend the lookingg lass upon . The evidence , as far as it has gone , implicates the wife of the murdered woman ' s son ; and the motive supposed to have actuated the deed is that a . certain sum of money would come to the son after his mother's death .

Saturday, October 11. The Queen Left Wor...
Saturday , October 11 . The Queen left Worsley about ten o ' clock yesterday , to make her progress through Salford and Manchester . It has really been a striking and magnificent affair , this visit to Manchester . The Queen entered Salford through an immense arch , of a very elegant design . The streets were almost covered with , flags and flowers . At the end of Cross-lane , the Mayor of Salford met her Majesty , and conducted her to the Peel-park , where the address was to be presented , and the chief scene in the play performed . In the park a vast pavillion had been erected for the reception of the Queen ; and facingit two immense galleries destined for the Sunday-school children of Manchester and Salford . Eighty thousand children assembled and formed a novel and interesting spectacle . They were brought on to the ground by their ministers and their teachers ; and -when the Queen drove up the avenue between the pavillion and the galleries all these thousands of children sent up shrill and successive cheers . The scholars of the Cheetham College were drawn up at the entrance of the park , and their brass band welcomed the Queen with the national anthem . The Queen was received by the company in the pavillion with a simple bow ; the address to her Majesty Avas read by the Town Clerk ; and an address was presented to Prince Albert . When this business was over the Queen departed , and the company were permitted to cheer themselves hoarse . The royal party drove slowly down the avenue in front of the children , and during the passage of the Court the tiny voice of the eighty thousand sang " God save the Queen . " Mr . Charles Swain had written a now verso , which was sung in place of that containing tho — " Confound their politics , Frustrate their knavish tricks . " It is as follows : — " Crown'd by a nation ' s love , Guarded by heaven above , Long live the Queen . Long may each voice exclaim , Wide as Britannia ' s fame , ' Long live Victoria ' s name , God bless the Queen . " The Duke , who accompanied the suite of the Queen , was heartily cheered ; but he did not take the least notice of the cheorcra . The Queen entered Mane-heater through another \ grand triumphal arch , and proceeded through HLreets crowded with people , and covered with banners and decorations , to the Hxchungc . Jlere 11 select company wore waiting to receive her Majcuty , and when nhe entered , as before , there watt no cheering . The addresses * were presented , the gracious reply vouchsafed , the Mayor , Mr . John Potter , wan knighted , and the royal party left amid a torrent of cheera . " The Duke ! " eiiod nome one , and the cry wan followed b y a burst of enthusiasm . Her MujcHty uguin pn . s . sed through the town , and returned to VVornlfy-hiill . Among the decidnl « ucccHtfCH of 1 K / iI we must place tho Queen . \ s vi . 'iit to MunchcHtcr . The Central Committee , appointed to make nrmngeinenlHfor LeHtilying to Ko . ssuih Lho . se Hyinpiithics with Hungary mid freedom which all J'liiglJHhiiien feel , continue tottituml to receive adlie . sioiiH from the working cla . snes and linden' tsoeieticH , who have very wpiritcdly ¦ come ; forward ; and advances have been made , but not very generally , by other bectioiw of rcformci-H . Upon the whole , affairs Heem decidedly to be taking u turn , which will make this demonstration democratic , and ulmottt wholly an cxprcrttiioii of the feeling of the working clusnes . KiwHMtli in now hourly cxneeted , and tho f . cliiur iiiiinilcHU-d on hiH behalf by " all so , t « of people " row » daily inoro intense . Tho Leicenter corporation , at a npeciul meeting ycuU rday , agreed to an uUdr « iiH , moved
by Mr . Alderman Biggs , and appointed a deputation , consisting of the Mayor , Town Clerk , and other members of the council , to wait upon Kossuth
The Great Exposition, The Glory Of 1851,...
The Great Exposition , the glory of 1851 , closes to-day . We chronicle the fact with a feelin ^ of regret ; and yesterday , as we gazed for the last time upon the great though faded glories of the Crystal Palace , it was impossible not to see that the crowd , who so slowly departed , who lingered in silent groups , and who were at length gently expelled by the inexorable police , experienced the same sensation—the parting with an
old friend . We walked from end to end . Passing the transept we saw the fountain had ceased playing , and looked lifeless enough . On going out at the western nave the statue of Cceur de Lion , with his uplifted sword , stood out darkly against a sunset sky , like a mighty index pointing hopefully to an unknown future . The throng were passing away , the day was dying in rich rosy hues ; in twenty-four hours , we said , the Exposition of 1851 will be a thing of history . So be it . " To-morrow to fresh fields and pastures new . "
The Quarter's Revenue. An Abstract Of Th...
THE QUARTER'S REVENUE . AN ABSTRACT OF THH NET PRODUCE OF THE REVENUE OF GREAT BRITAIN IN THE YBAES AND QUARTERS ENDED OCT . 10 , 1850 , AND OCT . . 10 , 1851 , SHOWING THE INCREASE OR DECREASE THEREOF . The quarterly revenue tables "which were issued yesterday show some remarkable results . In spite of the remission of imposts , there is a total increase in the ordinaly revenue of the quarter of £ 124 , 646 more than last year . But as there is a large decrease in the repayment of advances , there is a nominal decrease of £ 1197 on the whole revenue of the quarter . The increase is in Customs , Excise , Post Office , and Crown Lands ; the decrease in Assessed Taxes and Property Tax . The ordinary revenue is , therefore , very buoyant , and the prospect encouraging . YEARS ENDED OCT . 10 . ' 185 ;) . 1851 . Increase .
