      Oa if tmday , the 5 th October , I met with Cherry , and Bobinsoa , and Fox , at a vffiase called Sinitbies , near Barnaley . I met them withont appointment , or expectation of seeing either of them ; it w&b about tea o'clock A . * , when I met them . There was abont to tike place a loot-rtee , and I had gone for the sole purpose ef seeing It The names of the two persons "who vere to ran were Slater acd Brook . Robinson asked me if I could let himhaTe £ & > 6 d . I aid I could not , m I had but 2 jd . in the > r « ld . Robinson then said he -would bare some money before night . I remained" at . Smithies until two o ' clock , p . m ., having formed there tie company of & young woman named Toppings ; tiero . was another young ¦ woman Tt-ith her named Milliard . Myself &sd the two young women went into a house occupied by

      one of their acquaintance , as it vas very cold . Vie rem&inetl in the house about half an hour , and then went without stopping to see the race . We returned , all three together , in the direction of Baxnsley , about one and a half miles distant We arrived at Barnsley about half-past t-wo , p . m . I left the young woman , and went to my father ' s house , my home , to get something to esL I remained about a quarter of an hour . and then went out ; and on going down the principal street besides the ciarifct-place , I met a person liixutd George Barlow . George Bariow offered to pay for s pint of ale , if I -would go to John Winter ' s publiclouss , called the Royil Oak . VTe then went together to that house , and had a pint of ale between ^ , which he paid fur . We remained at this house about

      three quarters of an hoar . We tben went to tnotfcer public-bouse , eslled th « Duke of York ; and baTicg remained there abont ten minutes , and got one glass of ale , I then left the Date of York , leaving George Bariow in' i \ . I then went op alone to a street of houses , called Taylor-row , and rtmained there , not ir . a house , about one hoar , talking w-ith one Jobs Hiitoa , a ¦ weaver . I then left him and wtnt home again to zny father ' s hcuse . I got there at about five o ' clock ; 1 gjt iuy tea asd went out again , haTing been in the housi about ten minutes . I had agreed with the young woman , Deborah Topping , whom 1 had been with at Smithies , to most her in the afternoon of that day . I west out from my isifcer ' s house fcr tfco sole purpose oT meetiag her

      according to appointment . I met her near what is ealled Barcsiey levm End , about a mile from my father ' s house ; this would be about hair-past £ ye , p . m . "We then ( the young woman and mjst \ f- sat down ¦ together upon some step 3 belonging to Ja ; u s Cleuiinsen . "We sat tiure about three quarters of an hour . "We then left that place and went down the street teclc again , and waff about a qtuirUr of snhocr coining to'Joshua Wragfs shop ; just opposite tUis et ? I mst Robinson and Cherry ; the youcg wociaa , eu hearing the young man say he wanted me ,- walked away immediately ; after this Robinson told ms , in a great hurry , that a man had beon collecting some milk money ; he said tie mac would pass Crow-well-hill , ¦ which is about half a mile from where m were

      Soblnsoa and Cherry told me to folios them . "We all three ran in the direeiien of TVorsbro " Common , then passed Crow-vrsH hill . "When we got to tbe Worsbro' Bars , the whole threa of os went on the 'N ^ w Re-id , still running , and ever a fairnip field . I did not kno * where we were going , tint followed them , as they said the man ha > l some Hioney about him . When we got into the SeiJ in ¦ which Blscibum ' s hou « e stands , " though I did not at the time know whose house it wai , Cherry a- ; 1 myself stopped at the fcsra end ; Cherry then took ap a piece of wood , about fear feet lusg , it tss a pite head . Cbeny gsTe the gste he . id to me , ancl saiil I was to strike the man witij it . When I got the gate head in my hand * , I went to the cat-.- that itids into the yard

Cherry left me and went towards RobisKm . Robinson was , at the time Cherry went away , ^ landing upon the trail sg-inst the lane which leads to the house- I saw k :: n th ^ ra , he ¦ was about thirty yards froin me .

      borliag s-iiafcthiBg down from the wall where be stood . I was thtn abect eight yurds from Robinson . 1 th--n saw Robinson jump from the wall into the lz . na , but before I had got on to the wall mystlf . I te . ir . l some on « say ' ¦ Tou d—d rascals . " I knew this vras cot tLe Toiee either cf Robinson or Cherry ; from the wa . l 1 saw a scuffle between a man whom I did not kusw , .-vtil Robinson and Cherry . 1 saw Robinson and Cherry pul ! the man ' s feet from under him , and the man fell down . I then jumped frc-m the wall , and witS tlie g-ite hezil in iny hand , I stnzrk the first nun I came at 1 intended to have struck the man I saw struggling wi'Ji Edbinson and ChtTry . The height of the wall vij abostftsix or seven feet . The moment I jumped down 1 * trHtft at ^ ts first man nearest me ; I found then tha t

      1 h * d struck at Robinson , for be said I had broken his arm . Robinson raid I must carry him into tht planting . I tcld him ho might walk there . Robinson Uitn wtnt away In the direeticn of the piantin ^; Ciierry ran in the cirectiun of the pa-stcie . It was at this moment 1 saw a person lying on the grotmd in the lane , with his iat cf : ; an « i I tlso saw tho young woman mentioned before , and an elderly woman with her , with her cap on . Both the women screamed out several times , murder . I Bteod a little , tt aVout eight yards from the two women , terrified with "my arms hanging down by my siae . When I saw the two women coming towards rte , I ran away . 1 raa towards the pasture gate of the field , besides the planting . I saw no one but Cherry before me as I ran ; before I got to the

      gate mentioned , I stumbled over some sticks and other f obstructions in the lane that led to the pasture , and ¦ felL I immediately ? -t up and got over the pxstcre g ^ te . I 1 stiil saw Cberry running before me . I ran in the ! direction of the pasture gat « , because 1 dare not go by the Barracfcs , thinking that the soldier on Mntry might j fire at me ; I zh < ml 4 tave goii 3 that way by the !

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , March 30 . The Coaimittee appointed to try the me-its of the petition against the return of Mr . Gladstone for tbe borough of IT ^ isaJi reported that that gentleman was duly tlected , bat that Kfcither the petition nor the opposition to it were frivolous or vexatious . The c jnaaiUee foithet reported that there prevailed a general systeni of treating at the last election at "SYal-Eill , but there was no satisfactory evidence to connect i : with the sitting member . The Cua . > cellob of the Exchequer , 5 n reply to a qnestuu from Sir R . Peel , said be would make his financial statement for the yesr on Friday , the 30 th of ApiiL

      Mr . PaKIXGTOJJ then rose , pursuant to notice , to move that a select committee should bs appointed to inqnire into the state of the colony of Newfoundland . The Hon . Member , as the groundwork of his motioa , stated that th « population of Newfoundland , amounted to from 75008 to SO , 000 person * , who were nearly oquiUy divided into Protestants an . i Citholics , He did Eot mean to find fault with the Uovernment for h&Tiag conferred a constitution on the colony , though , for his GTra part , he thought it was prematurely giy ; n ; and it was rather a singular fact that the Tery persons who were formerly most anxious for that constitution , were Tery many of them now most < Usirou 3 to have it abolishtd . The elections in the c-ilony liad been attended by serious riotiug . At St . John ' s tue elections c « uld not be concluded at all without mhitary intervention . To such an extent had these outrajes been c * rrie <' ., that tha governor , wken optniag the session last January , had expressed doubts is to -whether the colony -was yet ia a fit slate to receive a legislative system .

      Laid J . Rvsseil would nut oppose tho motion , though he had not kuustlf thought it necessary to proposs a committee of inquiry . He would not deny that serious disturbances had token place , nor was be prepared to state to the Houss the means by which Guv&rnaient proposed to remedy the existing eviis . At a future time he wouKl propose them to the House , whatever niiglit be tne opinion of the committee . He could lios think that Uiey bad prematurely granted a constitution to Newfoundland , for the governor of the colony had suited that it had rapidly improved in in-say respects under that constitution . He was , th ^ r ^ fore , unwilling to abolish the constitution , nor could be have much faith in a-House of Commons ¦ which s-howeu itself too ready to do away with represjntativo government . After some observations from Mr . Humb and Mr . J . O'Con . vell , the motion was agreed to .

      The Huuse haricg resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Ameliainent Bill , tho consideration Of clanee 10 was resumed . Mr . Colqchoc . v moved a provision , to the effect that in all these cumbinod p-. rish or union schools a captain shou ' . d b 3 r . ppointeti to regulate and superintend the instruction of tbs children , except those children were of a religion other than that of the tstabli * -hed church , whose parents , or whose godfather or godmother , might objtjct to their bting instructed in the tenets of tbe esUbiis-hed church , in which case it Khoulu be lawfnl that a licenced minister of the religicn of the parents { -tould vbrit the schools at certain hours to be appointed , to teach , Uu » t . religion to the children . Provided also , that snch rhaplains ihonld be appointed by the board of mcntgcmeEt , with the eor . sen ; of ths bishop ef the diocese , and receive snch Salary as the Poor Law Coiruniasioaera should tUint pror-er .

      Dr . LcsHiSGTO * i felt confident that the appointment of tbtse ehapbias was actually necessary , though he did ftel some reluctance at ihro-sicg any additional }> ardens on the Dissenters for the puryose of educating children iu a religion to which they wcro opposed . He thought , however , that the D . &senters themselves would rather Bee these children educated in tbe principles of the Established Church , than that their educa tion should be entirely secular . He was of opinion that the exception contained in the proposition of the Hon . Member was by no means broad enough . Sappcie three or four orphans were tiirovrn into thtso schools , who * e paieuts tttd forefathers bad for centuries been Catholics , and suppose those children to have airc-aOy imbibed some of the principles of that religion , it would , in his opinion , be a violation of the first principles of religions liberty to bring up children under such circuuistaDCis in the religion of tke Established Church . The Hon . Member " cocEced his

      exorpaoa to the parents , or to the godfather and godmother ; but surely an uncle or aunt , or otlur relative , wonl-. l be as well entitled to interfere . He had inst&nci . 'd the case of Catholic orphans , but the tame nasoi . Ing would apply to tbe orphan children of Biptista or Independents , or , indeed , those oC any other religious persuasion . Lord Teig ^ mocth contended tbr . t children , to whose relatives their religion was a matter of indifference , should be brought up in the tenets of the Established Churca . 1 / ord Sandom suggested that if the clause was so frasaed as to give tiia power of objection to children being broujlit up in the religion of the Established Church to p-ireats aad natural guardiaa * , instead of godfathers and godmothers , the difficulty would be ofaTiateU .

      Mr . Hattes contenc-ed that the effects of this claase would be to place the education , not only religious but secular , of all these children in the hands ef the clergy of the Established Church . As the payment of these chaplains wonld come out of the poorrates , to which the Dissenters so largely contributed , he thought they would never be reconciled to it . He protested against the clause , and should give it every opposition . Lord J . RUSSELL TO of opinion that , without some modification of the clauie , they would run the risk of giving to-j great power to the chaplains over the secular education of the children in thesa schools . 3 Ir . Langdale Eugjested the addition of some words to protect a child of twe . vo oi thirteen years ofage , who mij ^ ht already have rectivtd some knowledge of the principles of a . religion , Lot being that of the Esta blished Church .

      Mr . ward suggested the postponement of the claase , in order to give time to have it properly framed in order to meet the objections -which had been urged . ilr . Behnal said the clause , in its present position , conJd not be postponed . Mr . Blackstoxe observed that , in that case , he would rather have the clause rejected altogether . Ths question was , be thought , too important to bo introduced incidentally in a Bill for the continuance of the Poor L-iw Commission . Mr . T . Egertox could not sse why these chaplains should not bo paid without objection , upon the Bame principle &a chaplains of prisons were paid , out of the county late . After some farther discussion , the amendment of 3 Ir . Colquhoun was carried , by a majority of 119 to 32 . The Chairman then put tbe question , that the clause stand part of the BUI , upon which

      Mr . Parker said he should oppos * the clause altonfether .

      Mr . GRIKSDITCH . WM also opposed U the clause . Mr . WiKiEi -sras of opinion that all the matters relating t ~ > the education or the children shonid be made the subject of a separate BUL The House divided upon th « origin *! motion , upon which the clause was carried by a majority of m to 36 . Colonel Sibihorp moved the omission of the irth clause , but on a division it was carried by a majority of 144 to 23 . * The 18 th clause bsicg proposed , Colonel Sibthoep moved that the Chairman should report prosreis , npon wiikh the Committee divided , and the Gallant Colocel ' i Biotion waa negatived by a majo rity of 199 to 18 . Colonel Sibthoep * poke of the importance of the dac * e , and said it wa « unfair to harass Members by foreivg its coruideration npon them at so late an hoar of the . sight

      Lord „ OHN HCSSKtL gave way , and the Chairman according !) ' reported progress , and obtained leave to sit fcgnin on TliU * ^*'

      ? B 0 H OTO LONDON COHRBMONDEWT . London , Thursday Evening , March 25 , Quarter to Seven , Citt News , and Commercial Retibw . —The arrival , this morning , of the new President ' s inaugural address to the Chambers , has greatly relieved the public anxiety , as the hostile tone of the American statesmen had been succeeded by a more friendly bearing towards this country . It is now generally believed that Mr . M'lJeod will be jriven up by the State of New York , - and thus the danger of an immediate rupture will be avoided . The news is looked npon as very favourable in the City ; and Consols have risen nearly \ per cent on it ; but the market is very tensilivc , being inflttenced by some large accounts in options , which hand over the

      jabbers , and compel them to buy or sell rashly on every change of circumstance , to defend themselves from the risk of any large fluctuation in prices . Yesterday they Bold stock upon this ground , and to-day they are all anxious to buy it back again ; but money is quite " ea « iy" to-day , and gold arr ives largely from the Continent . In the commercial markets there has been very little business done ; the public sales yesterday having gone off heavily , and those of to-day having manifested but a very slight improvement : on each occasion , a part oily of the goods put up were disposed of ; the deliveries of tea , both for home use and exports , are , however , very large , and the stock is fast reducing . Ths following are the closing prices ofthe Funds : — Consols , 88 J ; ditto for account , 83 J ; Now Three and a Half per Cents , 97 i ; Exchequer Bills , 4 s . to 6 s .

      prea . Burglaries , Jtc , in the City . -Yesterday morning , about one o ' clock , a man , answering the description of the mate of a vessel , entered the Cogers ' -hail Tavern , Bride-lane , Fleet-street , and having engaged a bed , retired to rest . Two hours after he was observed by the landlord ( Mr . Ashton ) to enter bis bed-room , when , oa speaking to him , he stammered out in reply , ihat " be was anxious to find his way down stairs . " On rising , Mr . AfiBton silver

      discovered that about ^ £ 5 , in gold and , together with a box belonging to the Sons of tho Thames , " which contained cash , the asonnt oi which is not at present known , had been stolen from his room during the night ; and on further inquiry littie doubt remained , as to the above individual being the perpetrator of the robbery , as he had absconded . During the night , tbe Crown Tavem , Fieei-street , kept by Mr . FeircU , was also broken open , and cash to the amount of £ 25 stolen ; but no ciue whatever hat been gained as to the perpetrators .

The eooiety had also purchased a quantity o £ furniture for their use ; an excellent library had also been formed , and a reading and meeting room kept constantly open during the quarter .

      United Statfs . —ThenevtsfromtUeU p Ued States , broughs by the Patrick Henry , is exceedingly pacific . The Patrick Henry sailed on the I th , an don tho 3 d , tho steam ship President arrived with despatches from Lord Palmerston . to Mr . Fox , British Minister at Washington , the contents of which were the subject of general speculation throughout tho Uuion . Tho report abroad was , that the British Government had authorised Mr . Fox to demand the immediate release of Mr . M'Lcod , and in the event of a refusal , to demand his passports artd quit the country . This report , how&ver , does not seem to rest on any sure foundation . It is one of the countless conj-ctures of many-tongued rumour . Mr . M'Lcod was still a prisoner at Lockport , but ( bw Government were about to order his removal

      to Albany , the capital of the S ' . ato of New York , where less excitement prevailed , aud where , if tried , thcra would be , at least , a chance of his fiuding an impartial Jury . On the first inBtant , Mr . Buchanan , the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rotations , brought , tne question , or the relations between Great Britain and the Uuited States under tho notice of the Senate . The speeches of the Hon . Senators , aad of Mr . Clay , who to < , k part in tiie discussion , ' form a gratifying contrast to the intemperate r . port of Mr . Pickens to tho Reuse of Amenably . We quote from tho report of the proceedings ^ contained in tho New Yoik Courier and Iruptk uir , tho following brief excraeis ^ hwa siwwr ^ cypfflr , ^ ne 8-tion the pacific disposition ofthe American Eefiators .

      in a debate . on tho 1 st of this month . Mr . Buchanan said , he was instructed by the Committee on Foreign Relations , to aove to be discharged from the consideration of the resolution which had beon referred to that Committee , " requesting the Presid ? ut to communicate to the Senate , if 1 iot incom patible with the public interest , any correspondence which may have taken place between this Government ami that of Great Britain , relative to the north-eastern boundary , not heretofore communicated to The S'naco . " He stated that , as a Convention had been agreed upon between the two countries , for the settlement of the long-disputci boundary question , and as there was a high state of mutual irritation along the borders , and there was danger of imminent collision , the

      imerests of bath parties demanded the adoption of such treaty stipulations as would make an end of the question . Although he would not pretend to say tiiat there were no omens of war in the conduc , of the British Government on our northern frontier yet this he should assert , with much confidence , that in the negotiation itself relative to our north-eastern boundary , nothing had occurred , inconsistent with tha sincere and anxious desire which had always b ; en professed by tha : Govnrnment to preserve the peace which now so hsppily subsisted between the two countries , and to bring the question to a final u . n-- ' satisfactory conclusion . Mr , Clay g 4 ) te it as his decided opinion that the state of the difference Out ween the two countries was not such as to require a special minister . Tho Minister resident there would be able to do all that was necessary iu the premid

      After all Uaid Mr . Clay ) I have aot yet begun to think of the possibility of-any immediate war -with Great Britain ; that time has not arrived yet . Bat however distant it may be , I would relax no effort to place the conniryin a proper state of defence . He locked to the absence of all means of fl . oa . ting defence , eteaai batteries , &c , with tho deepest concern . He thought the Government should apply all its eaergie 3 to place the country in such a state of defence as would prepare it to meet any possible exigency that might , arise . Mr .

Sir , —Having viewed with satisfaction the columns of yoar truly praiseworthy publication , and Beting how the name of Ckartism is shooting forth her sparks throughout the length and breadth of your land , I cannot but state ay surprise at tho indifference with which my countrymen ( who pro-Jess to iove liberty ) took upon the eudeavours of their sister countrymen without lending a hand in this gloriou 3 struggle for the rights and liberties of British subjects , and more glorious , because it is by Koral force that the object will ba achieved ; for I am certain that the legislature will not refuse to redress the grievances of the working classes ; they must uot , for importunity will weary the most obdurate heart .

      I , as aa Irishman , love liberty in my soul , and wish the same to all mankind , and long to see my beloved country free fr ^ m every manacle of oppression . I expect to Bee .

      In my opinion , the Chatter is the means which shall bring about this wished for reformation ; then let Irishmen and Englishmen join hand in hand in thia noble scheme . Let your missionaries come ever and rouse the spirit of liberty , which is nearly hushed asleep for want of energetic means , or for want of true patriotism in the leaders of the people . Why should Ireland He dormant j when Buon numbers are adding to your ranks in Britain in general I It von depute a speaker to this corner of our Island , you will find Bomo who would enrol their names in your list , and get organised ; and perhaps the flame m » T spread over our beloved oountry , and then , ere long , she shall be free .

      Murder at Norwood . —On Wednesday morning , a very extraordinary and painful sensation was felt at Norwood , in consequence of the discovery of the muvder of a female , who it appears was a married woman , about 36 years of ago , aud of very creditable connexions . From inquiries made respecting the shocking occurrence , the following particulars have been collected , which may be relied on us authentic : —Tho name of the unfortunate deceased ia Elisabeth Wiuks . She waa housekeeper to Air . Roupell , a merchant residing in Blackfriars-road , who has also a country house in the vicinity of Brixton . Tho husband of the deceased was . also in the same gentleman's service . On Tuesday the deceased left her master ' s residence in town to visit her father aud other relations ,

      who reside at Brixton . She was accompanied by her daughter . They left , it appears , about niuo o ' clock iu tho evening to return Home . On the following morning ( Wednesday ) about six o ' clock , as Sergeant Taylor , of the V division of police , was going his rounds between Sueatham and Norwood , he discovered the body of a female lying on tho grass at the end of one ef tho lanes , within a fu \ v yards of a pond . She was not dead , but in an expiring etate . it was evident that tho uufortunate woman had been brutally maltreated , as her clothes were dragged neatly over her head . There were appearances of severe bruises about her person , fully proving that she had been struggling with ono or more parties . The grass where tshe tay also fully demonstrated that a violent struggle had taken place , as if the poor woman had contended with her brutal aggressor to prevent being throwninto tho pond , which was only distant a few yards from where

      sho was discovered by tho serjeant of police . The situation the was found in is very lonely , and tho ouly alternative Taylor , the police eerjeant , had was to run for additional assistance , which he did without loss of time , returning to the spot with several of his brother constables , at which time the deceased still continued to breathe . She waa conveyed to the Horns , at Norwood , where a surgeon w ^ s promptly in attendance , bnt the unfortunate woman expired on her way to the house . Tho father of the deceased states that she left his house on Tuesday night , perfectly sober and comfortable . He cannot account for her being found at Norwood , which was nearly two miles from his house ; nor was ho at all able to give iut ' ormatian respecting the imirdfcr of his unfortunate child . What is most extraordinary is , that the deceased's daughter has not yet baen discovered . Yesterday several hundreds of persona visited tho spoi where the uniortttuato woman was discovered . Information of

      the circumstance was forwarded to Mr . Elyard , the magistrate , residing at Stre&tkam , who has been very active in his exertions to trace the perpetrator of the murder . The surgeon who has examined the body of the deceased has given his opinion that her ucath was the result of violence . Great suspicion is attached to the husband of the deceased , arid a warrant has been issued for his apprehension . The police are also actively engaged in obtaining all the information they can respecting the ruye ' . enous and dreadiul occurrence . Tho deceased has been five years in Mr . llounoll ' s service , asd waa much respected .

      The body lies at the Horn « , Norwood . Information of the circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Carter , Corouer for Surrey , who has appointed the inquest to take place to-morrow ( Saturdaj ) . When the deceased waa discovered , 17 a . were found on her person , and other trifling property . It is expected that the whole of the circumstances connected with thehovrid uifair will be developed in the course ot tho inquest . Up to last evening , tho excitement at Norwood , and * the surrounding districts , waa very great , anxiety being manifested by all classes of persons to discover the author of the atrocious act .

      Horrible Case of Suicide from Extreme Destitution . —On Friday ( yesterday ) evening , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Longthorn , tuo B ; a < -k Bear Inn , Kirkgate , before John Blackburn , fc ' sq , on view of Che body of George Tighe , a stranger in L : cds , who , from all that can be gathered concerning him , corned from Sunderland , or that neighbourhood . He was a tailor by trade , and to all appearance from fifty-five to sixty years of age . He had with him a little girl , five yoars of age , and it would appear that he aui his wile had lived for some timo separate—she working at Ripon , and he tramping ubout the country . Why he should have a child bo young with him is a mystery . His appearance exhibits tracer of excessive destitution . The following evidence was given : —

      Robert WliHehead , of Little Woodhouse—Met deceased last night wear tho Beckett ' s Arms , on Woilington-road . There were three or four others standing with him , and I stopped from curiosity ; he had a little girl with him ; this was after eleven o ' clock . I offered to go to * the Yagvant Office with him , but a watchman said it was too late ; I then offered to pay for loggings for him ; we cimo into Kirkgate ; and a young man took us to tho Old Infirmary Yarc , where 1 lt ) ft hi . n , after paying for his bed . I asked him several questions , but lie gave me no answer ; I ct > u 5 d not get anything from him at all . The little girl told me that- her mother lived at Ripon , and said they had been out all the

      previous night . My impression was that he was in liquor . The little girl said her father cared nothing about her , and he often " wished she woe dead . " Hia answers to me appeared perfectly rational . I have not seen him since I left him at , the lodging house , about a quarter to twelve o ' clock last night . George CrosBiand , 33 , Old Infirmary-yard , deposed that he kept a lodging house , and that deceased slept there last night ; tho little girl told him that her mother worked in a linen factory at Ripon ; he appeared to be sober , and slept in a room by himeelf ; he got up between seven and eight this morning . Deceased said he was making his way to R ; pon .

      Richard Morgan , ha \ r-dresser , Kirkgafo—Tho deceased came to my shop this morning , at a littlo after half-past seven : he asked if he could bo shaved ; and on being answered in the affirmative , he said he had been in the army , and would rather shave himself if I would allow him . I said he mi ^ ht if he chose , aud gave him a razor . I then went down into the cellar-kitchen , and on my return up stairs , I heard a noise as of water rattling . On looking , I saw it was blood , and that the man was cutting his throat right across with the raztr . Ho threw out his arms . I opened the door , aud gave an aUrm , and instantly laid hold of tho deceased , aud sat him on tho floor . I feet for Mr . Ward , snrgeon , immediately ; but the man died almost direetly . I saw nothing about him to raise any suspicion in my mind , or I should not have lent him a razor .

      [ Tho littlo girl was hero brought into the room . Hex- intelligent appearance excited surprise amongst ail present . She said she had been with her father , and that her mother had left them . She ( the mother ) wa » s working at liipon , and had with her two children , boy * . Some of her sisters lived at Stockport ; aud her and her father had been there . Her jubtsisr was younger ihittt her father . }

      Samuel Wade , police serjeant—I met the deceased on Monday morning last , about half-past six o ' clock , in Kirkgate . I had some conversation with him ; he had the child on his back , and said he had been walking all nig ht . He said he was a native of Stockport , and his wife was at Ripon . He said he had had nothing to eat since the previous morning , neither bad he any money to get anything with . I took him to a coffee-shop , aud gave him 6 d . to get his breakfast with . From the conversation I had with him , I thought he wa 3 very low-spirited . He

      refused to tell his age , or to say why he had left his wife . This being the only evidence that could be adduced , the Coroner briefly summed up , and left it to the Jury to say whether or no they thought the . deceased was of sound or unsound mind . On the foreman taking tbe sense of his brother Jurors on the Bubject , One sapiently remarked he had no doubt of his insanity , but he thought they ought to ascertain whether or not hU poverty was the cause of his being insane ; and so determined was he on this point , that the Jury thought it

      necessary to retire . On . their-return , in a few minutes , &- verdict was returned "That the deceased destroyed himself during a fie of temporary insanity . "

      FROM THE LONDON PAPEnS OF FRIDAY . NORTHERN CIRCUIT . LANCASTER , Wednesday , March 24 . ROWN SIDE . ( Before Mr . Justice Maule . ) Richard Iioothman , James ' Wilkinson , Thomas Riley , and Henry Ridehalgh , were put to the bar to take ihoir trial upou an indictment , which charged them , in the first count , with the wilful murder of Joseph Halstead , at Colne , in this co&nty , on the 12 th of August last . A second count charged Boothman with tbe murder , and the other prisoners with aiding and abetting him .

      I ) r . Brown , Mr . Hulton , and Mr . Stansfeld , conducted the prosecution ; Mr . W ilk ins appeared for Boothman aud Wilkinson ; and Mr . Atuerton for the other two prisoners . Dr . BROWN , in Stating tho case to the Jury , said their attention would be directed to three material points—1 . Whether the deceased came to his death in the manner alleged . 2 . Whether thocircumstances of tho case were such as to amount to murder . 3 . Whether the prisoners or auy of them were the parties . About a weetc before the occurrence serious disturbances had t :-. ken piaco in tho town of Colne , and the magistrates thought it neccBar . ry to send for tho military , who remained from Friday the 9 th . to Suiulay the llih of August . Ou Ihe evening of Monday , the 12 th , the magistrates received information which induced them to swear in seventy special con .-tables , among whom was the deceased ,

      a respectable tradesman of the town . In the evening a mot ) paraded the streets . Tho Riot Act was read several times at different places , aud the magistrates and constables , with' a few police , proceeded along tho streets . When they got to Crow-street , they separated into parties , and went different ways . Soon after , a great noise was heard iu Cross-street , and a report of fira-arms . A rattle was sprung , and the police went in that direction , when it was discovered that a man had been killed , who proved to be tho deceased . The Learned Counsel aicn stated the nature of the evidence by which he proposed to bring . home the charge to the prisoners , saying that onlv on « of them could be proved to have Btrusk the deceased , out that the others would be sIiotth to be thfre with such a common purpose as would render them amenable to the law for the consequences which had happened .

      Mr . Wood , a magistrate , residing near Colne , eaitt , that for a week previous to the event under investigation , the town had been in a very excited state . On Monday , the 12 : h of August , the town , was full of people , and the magistrates thought if advisable to swear in seventy special constables , - of whom tho deceased was one ; truncheons were delivered to them , aud they went on duty about halfpast nine 'clock . There wore also tw « nty-3 even ofthe county police . Tho whole body went to the toll-bar at tho east end of the town , wh-re wit ness read the Riot Act . About two hundred persons were present . He also read the Riot Act

      in the market at Windcbank ami another place . They then proceeded down various streets . At the top of Clayton-street , they heard a rattle sprung'in the direction of CrobS-street . Th ^ y went there . Witness eaw a mob , and heard a noise as if iron instruments were dashed against each other . There was a discharge of fire-arms . He heard tho expressions " Be firm . Come on . Dash at them !" A 6 hower of stones c * me , and drove the magistrates and constables from their position into the mainstreet , where they were follbwed by the mob , shouldering bludgeons , and walking four abreast . Tho military were then sent for .

      Cross-examined—When the Riot Act was read , the special constables sot up a shout . They had no refreshment bet ' ure stariing . The night was dark . The decoased was & resolute courageous man , and occasionally took his cups in an evening . Henry Segar , landlord of the Kings Head inn , deposed that on tho morning after the riot he foflnd the Now Church h * d been broken open , and many ofthe iron rails wero u ; one ; fourteen or fifteen were foujul about lttO yards from the house of Jacob Hawk 8 wotth , in Cross-street . They were about a yard and a half long , an inch in diameter , and had spear heads .

      James Wild , ono of the special constables , accompanied the deceased till they got to the house of Jacob Hawks worth , in Cross-street . The mob had spiked iron raiis . Witness was struck at with an iron bar , but was not hit . He ran away , and went home . The deceased was then staudiug on Hawksworth ' s door step , Jacob Hawks worth lives in Crosa-street . About ten o'clock that night he heard a noise , and he and his wife got out of bed and weat to the window . There was fighting with weapons opposite his house .

      He saw two eworda and some hand-bludgeous . They fought wiih ths police and spscial constables as hard as they could for about three minutes . Four or fivo struck at a man who waa down at his door steps . One said , "D—ii him , kill him ;" another said , "No , don't kill him ; " another Baid , " Yes , we'll kill him . " After this , they went towards Clayton-street , whan a boy called " Lads , lads , come back , here ' s the pol ; ce J" The mob came back , aud there was another very severe engage * Eient near the top of Clayton-strost . The mob got the better .

      On cross-examination , this witness said he had stated that thoy kad not got a man- 'thoro who they could prove to be " a kill . Joseph Snowden saw the body lying after the first fight , and he and a Mr . Holdroyd tried to remove it , but could not . The face was covered with blood , and part of the brains were out . Job Harrison was one of the constabulary force . He saw a man standing bare-headed at Jacob Hawksworth ' s steps . One stepped out of tho crowd and struck the man on the top of the head with a sqaure iron bar . WitneB 9 then retreated , and was followed by the man who struck the blow . They Boon met fifteen or twenty of the police , when the nan rin back and joined in tho fight . Witness afterwards eaw him in the custody of Sergeant John M'Donald . The prisoner Boothman was the man .

      William Henderson , a policeman , also spoke to the identity ofthe prisoner Boothman . He admitted that they had order 3 to charge the mob . John M'Danald , sergeant of police , noticed the prisoner Boothmau in tho mob , _ endeavouring to escape , and apprehended him . Witness did not see him strike thoblow , or see any part of the fight . The cap which Boothman was said to have worn was then produced . This closed the ovidence as agaiust Boothman in particular . The evidence against Wilkinson was , that he was seen by a man named Fowles , in Cro 3 s-street , running away , when a policeman struck him on the

      noui , but did not capture him ; and , in consequence of this information , John Asa ; uith , constable of Colne , wont to tho house of Wilkinson ' s father , at Windobank , between three ana four o ' clock on the Tuesday morning , where he and two others were found iu bed . He had a clean shirt on . On searching the house , a wet jacket and shoes , and a waistcoat stained with blood , were f » uudj and on the roof of the house outside was a shirt , the bosom of which was bloody . He was taken into custody by » policeman named Wood , to whom , on the way to the Hous 9 of Correction , he said he Bhould not have dene It if the man had not sent him to prison for two months for playing at football .

      Evidence was then put in to Bh » w that in the Jauary previously he had been convicted and imprisoned for two calendar months , under the malicious trespass act , on tho comp ' aint of the deceased . The evidence against the other two prisoners , Riley and Ridehalgh , went to show they were present in the fray , but did not fix them with any specific act immediately connected ^ with the deceased . The iron rsils found were all round , not square . At the close of the case for tho prosecution , Mr . Atherton submitted to tho Court that there was no case to go to tho jury against Ritey and Ridehalgh , and his Lordship being of that opinion , they were acquitted without being called upon for thtir defence . _ Mr . Wilkins then addressed the Jury on behalf of Boothman and Wilkinson , and his Lordship having summod up the evidence , tlw Jury , after a considerable retirement , returned a verdict ot Guilty against Biothman , and acquitted Wilkinson .

      Tho awful seateuce of the law was then passed npon tho former . Wilkinson , Riley , and Ridohalgh were then arraigned upon , and pleaded Guilty to , an indictment ?» , ^ . S them witil a riofc » aQ d wero sentenced , Wilkinson to eighteen months ' , and the other two to twelve calendar months ' , imprisonment and hard l&WUT .
