    _libnaiBLE Case cf Suspected _Mubdbb . —An inquest was held by Mr Bedford , at the W } nd > or _Uastlc , _Charles-treet , St Margaret ' .- * , as to the death fa female child . 'I'ho circumstances connected with the hndim ; of the separated remains bad caused the utmost excitement in the immediate neighbiiuriiuod vhere they were found . Upon the Jury going to tbe workhouse the trunk was _lyinu on a table , and the head in a bundle by the side . George Fox deposed that ho was a fj ' ghni _* iii _* : er , and was called in on ' 1 roday ifternoon at No . 10 . Dacre-strc t , some children telling bim that something was in the _water-clotict . lie g ot a scoop , and found the trunk of a child . There w is no head upon it . Upon looking down again he " aw a _bundle , which was al-o got out . and in that he

    dissevered the evident remains of the head of a child . Tuere wire but the bones . A policeman was sent i ' or , and the body and head _Wt-re sent to the workhouse . Millim-tn _, 05 B , nave evidence as to conveying the remains to the workhouse , and the state of the bones of tbejhead . Dr Wright , of Storey ' s-gato , . VI D _., said that on Friday morning , be was sent for tn the workhou * e . lie saw the budy of the child , wbich appeared to be one of eight or nine months . The head was entirety separated and tied up in . a bundle ; thero was no scalp or outer covering , the orains were all gone , and the trunk was very much decomposed . The Coroner— _Canyou state what _avas the cause ot _d-ath ? Dr Wri ght—Any examination would be very unsatisfactory , from the state in which the body is . The Coroner—Can you state if the head was taken otf when the child was alive ? Dr ' Wright—It would be citficult to say whether the j head had heen taken off before or after hei * death , ]

    hut the head had been taken _a , ff . , Tile Coroner inquired if npostworUm examination would lead to any _beei-Sci-ii result , supnnsc any one hereafter mould be in custody . Dr Wright feared that any ¦ Bcdical testimony , from the state of the body , would it-ad to so many doubts that n'lt . _' iinjj _satis / hctury vould be arrived * at . The Coroner—You have no doubt the head was taken off ? Jh * iVY / ght—Not the ( east ; it had been separated , and not ' by _decomposition . _Miiliman was recalled , and asked if the inquiry was adjourned whether he thought he should no ah ! c * to tiud any clue to the parties concerned , ami ne replied lie thought not . The Coroner then _stig-*(* sted that the jury _c-mld either adjourn or return in opeii verdict , for there seemed to be sonic doubts vhethcr Hio guilty parties could _bediscovetcd .

From the fortunate circumstance of the _connecting-ehain giving away , the passengers escaped unharmed . An engine engaged on the line conveyed the intelligence of the accident to Brighton , from whence another engine was de-patched with assistants and materials for repairing the damage . The anxiety of the passengers detained atthe intermediate stations , and ofthe friends of those who were expected to arrive that night , was painful in the extreme ; and it is to he regretted that more prompt measures were not taken by the company for relieving their uncertainty .

    The Middle-Class beginning to Suffrr . —Up to this time the traders of Dublin In vo sustained themselves with astonishing firmness ai / ainst a . pressure unequalled in severity for many years pa _« t ; and even Rtill public credit , all circumstances considered , may be _regarded as comparatively s"und . But many small traders have been compelled to stop payment , esiwcially those who had heen working without actual or equivalent capital . On Monday tbefailure of several persons in the leather trade wa _*» announced , nnd amongst them are some tanners heretofore

    considered quite M >] vpnt . but who , in consequence of the difficulty of making sales , have been unable to take tin _thiir acceptances , although having * _-tock on hand more than equal to the payment of twenty shi ] . lin « sin the pound upon thoir engagements . It is stated that , a firm , engaged in the woollen yarn trade , a short distance from Dublin , has also stopped payment . Several shopkeepers , in various branches of trade , have failed ; but notwithstanding , very few _docke's have been struck . Tho creditors , _wisli _' ng to avoid the expense and litigation of the Bankruptcy Court , are endeavouring to make the best termi they can in the way of a _composition .

    STATE OF THE COUNTRY . CLARE .

This excitement continued during the day , and assumed as night ap . preached ia more dreaded _apoearance , _as large crowds of at least 700 people left the courthouse , and

    marched through the town . The _window-shuttcs were put up and doors _closed , but there was no occasion for this precaution , for they passed quietly through in the direction of the workhouse , where they arrived at seven o ' clock , in the most orderly and peaceable manner , several of thpm acting as police to prevent any damage being done to the pleasure-grounds attached to the house . When the master stood at the door , they one and all cried out thr _* y were starving—some not eating a morsel but boiled nettlt _* 8 * ince Friday night , and demanded admi-Bion .

    MURDERS AND ATTEMPTS TO MURDLR . Unfortunately , _fflmiliaras the public have become with details of murders which have taken place in various parts of the country , wc _hav _* _rhw week _^ __ the painful task of recording events of the kind , whnh , from their _extraordinary character , and from the appalling singularity of the circumstances connected , are almost without a nar llel in the records of crime , _Parkgatb , near _RiriiBKiuM . —An honest and industrious woman , named _Jagger , wileof a mechanic , who , fmni ill _health , has for nearly two year-past been _tinible to follow his trade , and who the * el ' ore kept a small shop on _Masbomngh Common , as a means of livelihood , was pro -ceding _towards Pa »

    _-k-gate , on some matter connected with the details of her _luisbind's small business , when , without a mo . _niem's warning , -hn was attacked b > a monster , who being under the influence of some fearful hallucination prodiired by liquor , put a perioi tn her existence . by cutting her throat with a pocket-knife upon the turnpike-road . The murderer is . _Samuel Lioley , a joiner , working for Messrs Seholiield and Co ., at the Parkgate Works , where he has _huen employed for some months . He is a man o * ' very drunken habits , and about a month or two ago was suffering under delirium tremens , fur which lie was HiiccesHftilly treated by Mr Wilkinson , of Rmherham . About eleven o ' clock in the forenoon , a female named Turner , whose husband keeps the toll-bar lieforc named ,

    saw Linlcy come out of the yard of a tailor named Absoti , where he lodges , and go d » avn tbe mad leading towards Rotherhara ; he was quite sober to all appearance , but as she observed a certain _wildnesB in his looks , and knew that be was subject to fits , and had moreover lua'd that be bad had on _^ that morning , )* he was _indui-ed to follow him . He took the footpath which is upon the right side of the road , and at that time Mrs Jaggerwa- - coming in a contrary direction along the middle of ihe road , by herself . When they weie nearly _opposite Mr _Ux'ey ' s upper gates , Liuley deliberaidy went up to her and knocked her do ; rn by a bkm on the back part of the head . Seeing this singular attack . Mrs _Turner made an alarm , which was heard by _Jo-hui Ileward , of Rotherham , labourer , who happened to he cros-ing the

    Fwur-laneends ar the time . He directly ran down the road towards Rotherham , and saw Linley _beating Mrs Jag- ; uer about the head , he being ( hen between one and j two hundred yards from them lie hastened towards them , and on his way heard Mrs _Ja-gger scream out . j lie saw Linley knock down the unfortunate woman , then s'ide ui . on his knees and get her _shoulil-rs be-1 tween his knees . When _Ilt-Wdid was about ten yards ; from them he saw Linley putt a knife from his ' pocket , on which he _calh'd out to him to be quiet , and asked him what he was going to do ? Linley exclaimvd , " Oiiidnmn her . " and em at tho right side of her neck several times . On getting up to Linley , Howard seized him by ihe arm . Assistance _coming up , Linley was secured , and the knife taken from him . The wouut' before described was found in

    Mrs Jigger ' s neck , and , to use the words of b bystander , the blood poured from tbe wound like water from a pump . 'I he carotid artery and the jugular vein had both hepn completely separated , and as may be easily imagined , _denh ensued in the course of t « o or three minutes The first _eX' _-ressions which Linley made use of were to the eff ct , that he hoped God would 'orgive him . On being asked why he had commitied such a crime , he said he did not know _, lie repeatedly said he had made a j"bof it . and that drink bad done it . On being asked if lie was drunk then , he _replied that he was not , and said he bad only had a little peppermint that morning . We _un'lersiand that subsequently he stated , that he thought the woman waB the devil , and that he determined to make an end of him . The _mnrdeieris

    a middle-sized man , with nothing very particular in his appearance . He seems to be . between 50 and 60 years of age . The knife alluded to w _.-ts _anordinara buck-handled pocket-knife , and the b _' adewith which he deprived the unoffending woman of life is about three or four inches in length . On his reaching the gaol he _became more violent . He was there _neen by Mr Bland , the high constable , whom he seized by the tiiroat . and who had great difliculty in getting clear from him . lie was in such a slate that it was considered _um-afo to leave him alone , and he was according constantly watched . An inqoest was held , and the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Samuel Linley , " and a warrant for his committal to York Castle was signed by the coroner .

    Hulmb and _Manoukstkr . —Awful Attkmpt to _MtwiiER—A shocking and most extraordinary attempt has been made by an old woman in Holme , to murder her son-in-law , while asleep in bid . by cutting his throat .

Fortunate !? the knife

    was not ve > y sharp , and the young man was awoke by its passing across his throat before a sufficiently deep iucisian had been effected to prove , fatal . He put out his hand _lo- save himself , when the end of one of h _'« fiVn _»«« _-. -ne . sir . lv . «« . off . ana ce :. t _~ . _- > r . ¦ _,,., _„„„ _SJttHjrfftu' ; _( Ihu nan into an adjoining house tor help . Ellen Thompson _staici that she lived at 55 , Clarendon-street . Site said Royle ( the prosecutor ) came running tn their door , and asked if they could find a _I'oliceman ? He was bleeding profusely fiom a , wound in the neck , and stated that his mo ' ther-iu-law had been attempting to cut his throat William Court , a police ttfticer , stated that lie was called in hy the last witness , and went to the prisoner ' s house , wheu he found-her sitting by the bed-side . He told her what she was charged with and took her into cu-tody .

    Sim accompanied him willingly , merely _observing , " Very well , takeyour time , ami I'll c -me with you , " Superintendent Taylor said when he saw the prisoner be cautioned her of ihe use that might be made of any _confession , and then asked if she had any voluntary statement she wished to make . She answered , "I hardly know what I ' m doing , I ' m sure , for all sides ; for he only _aantato get my property from me , and won't wait till my death . " The kniie produced in court avas very blunt , but of large size , nnd the wound inflicted on _Royle ' s thro 3 t was from two to three inches in length , but not very deep . _'Ihesurgeon , Mr J . Foster , _Medloek-street , who hud examined the wound , was not present ., and ultimately the ca-e was remanded , that his evideuce might be obtained .

At dinner the family , including the sister of Mrs Hickman , partook heartily nf the pie . Shortly after very alarming symptoms were perceptible in the whole of the children ; they wero first _i-eized witb violent sickness , accomp » uied hy a burning sensation in the throat and stomnch . Whilst Mr and Mrs Ilickmau were attending upon them , they were , together with Caroline Boneny , at tacked in a similar manner , and they then for the tir-t time _imagined that the fruit in the pudding bad a used the symptoms , and assistance was called in , — Mr Abercrombio , a surgeon , ofthe Kei _^ all-rond _. _was

    promptly in attendance , and on examination of the pie pronounced it to contain arsenic . On hcarin « this , Hickman exclaimed , " Why , that is the white arsenic 1 have had iu the house for so many years . " Mr Abercr . > mbie , immediately on hearing this , administered the usual antidotes , and did all that the nature of the ea > e would permitof , but without any beneflciai result ; und at G o ' clock , Jamoa Hickman , a fine youth , only _nins years of age , died . In the course of an _liiiurand a halt afterwards , another of the children , named John , three years of age , also expired . A third child , aged 18 months , named Henry , next died ; Alary Ann , aged four years and a ha ! f , died at halfpast 10 . Seeing that there were little hopes of saving any id the _suflVrers , Dr Barnes , of _Notting-hill , and Dr Browne , ot Kensallgreen , were also called in , but , in spite of their utmost exertions , tliey were unable to effect much good , and at 11 o ' clock on Sunday !

    night , the litih child , uauied Harriet Elizabeth , aged six years , expired . Mr Abercronibie continued " iii attendance _throughout the whole of Suiiday ni _«* ht ami Mmiday morning . Tlie . father died at half-past 12 on Monday . Ho was ' only 3 * 1 years of age , and up to the time of his death . exhibited the greatest anxiety for the fate . of his wife _-liid offsprin " . Mrs Hickman , her sister , and her son Thomas , a _<* ed 12 years , were at six o ' clock on Monday ( 'Veiiing ° ali . ve . but it was the opinion of tbe surgeons that , although _thvro were strong hopes of the Bister and son _' _s ' _- _rccV very , that from the fact of Mrs Hickman being _^ cfiinie she _cntitii not possibly survive many hours Air A bercrombie has taken possession ofthe remainder ¦• the pudding , which he has analysed , ami _fottud that it contained a considerable quantity ol arsenic * and on questioning Caroline Boneny he learned Irani i « t that the bag _CMiia- _utd at 'least half a pound of that poison .

After the reading , Mr Dwain said , though ! their object avas harmony and good-will amongst all ! mankind ypt he was glad to _sre opposite opinions alien _principles clash , in order 'hat by _diseusiionthey _tnithb sift the truth from the falsehood . The writer of thrfv article was the Rev Mr Fox , who was a _diff-renin character tothe late Publicola . The reading of _snclcl articles had a tendency to soften down the r feel _npg and prejudices , and exercise the mind and jodgmemn in pursuit , of truth .
