Tbe _Mmkuhmwb _Mbbdhj . —Mary Ann Hunt , who was convicted at the last _swsioni of murdering an old woman named Stowell , still remains in Newgate , awaiting the decision of government , as to _whether the sentence of <" _aath is to be earned into effect or not . It wa < proved at the trial that the wretched criminal waste the _famUy-wny , and , as thereappears tote no doubt that she will eventuall y becomo a mother , the sentence , of course , cannot be carried into effect until after she is delivered . It will be a satisfaction to the jury ; who felt themselves compelled to return a verdict the effect of whWi , in all human probability , would be to consign a fellow creature _t-j death upon the scaffold _, to know that the _unhippy culprit n _** . within the last few _daye , in clear
and undis _? ni > ed terms , admitted her guilt . Immediately alter she retired from the dock , aentenco bavin ? been pronounced , Bhe appeared to recover ker self-possession , and said to one -if the officials who was accompanying her , * They don't yet know how it was done . ' She denied thatit was premeditated . Oa the trial it was proved that on the Monday previ . _ous to the fatal occurrence the _culpritand the deceased had a violent _qsanrl , and that the former made use of such tena « towards tbe old woman as to induce the other lodgers to send for the landlord of the house , and this was adduced as a proof that the crime was premiditated by the prisoner . She . however , _declares that at this time she had no intention to hurt her , and that her threatening to 'do for her *
merely referred to ber intention to prevent her from _conlinuine to receive assistance from the family of Colonel R " vndbera , by informing them that she was not a worthy object of charity . The prisoner states that at this time she was in great ( ' . ' stress of mend , owing to _pecuniary difficulties , aud her inability , fr .-m want of fund ' s , to get _toBrif & tou , where , as she was well known , the expected to bave been able immediately to obtain a situation , and for several days before the fatal occurrence she states that she was hardly aware of what sbe was doing . It transpired acsh ' eatally in tbe course sf the trial that the prisoner had been cocneoted with a constable of the detective lorre , who , it appears is the father ofthe child of which sbe is enceinte , and he it seemed , had
promised to send her some nwney , but failing to do so , il increased her _distress and , es sho says , almost _dtove her beside herself . It wa 6 evident from the letters produced at the trial , but which Mr Justice Erie , who tried the case , considered was not legally admissible as evidence , thatthe prisoner was in very _pr « it pecuniary distress , and the repeated demands of thep ; cro \ ti woman fer the r * > nt , about 9 s . which she owed her , created great excitement in her mind , nnd ia all probability _occajbnsd the fatal result . Oa the day of the murder the prisoner states that she was again pressed by the deceased f or payment , ani in the course of a violent _qtianei deceased atte-nptcd to strike her . This excited her , ' and induced her to strike the old woman in return : she
toil to the ground _insensihle , and she then threw _herself n ? on her , and did not desist from violence until she was no more . It then occurred to her thatthe _deceased had r . hoard if money in her _drapers , and she opened th « one in which she believed it was kept , _andsrassarprised to find that there was no more than tne or two and twenty _shi'limis , which sbeposse = srd herself of , and then went cut to make her way to _IHshton , bat , finding that thc last _traia had started , she returned to the house , and stayed in the ror > 2 i with the deceased until the follosving morning , wbes , on her attempting to depart , the was arrested . Tha unhappy prisoner appears quits resigned , and noes not seem to expect assy commutation of her sentence .

WSSZU 0 BBUI 9 . . - Tub Lakes . —The railway , from Kendal is » ow open ; within one mile , and a quarter of Bowness , and for conveying _passengers that _distanot the omnibusdriver charges 6 J . To those : who have not seen Bowness for these last ten or _twelrt years there is a ereat ' ehange in the place , both in _erectiiSLf tew building and beautifying thos * that were built . There are now two steamers on the lake ( _TTiidemere ) , although there is only one at work , while the other _pliesuseless at Bowness . This steamer _pliesbetween _Newbsbridge to Ambleside , calling at _Bownesa and
Lowwood to _' put pff and take on passengers . 1 here is a band o ? music on board , which has a charming effect to those en shore u well as those on the water . The charge from Bowness to Arableaide is Is . fld ., which will produce something handsome tor the owner of the vessel . Bowness , as well as Ambleside , is full of visitors , and it is difficult to obtain a bed at the inns . _Notwithstanding thia , they take in considerably more than they can find beds for , and send them oat to the neighbouring cottages to sleep . The opening of the railway to 'The Queen of the Lakes ' has caused tbis year a great influx of visitors .
UXCA 8 HIBB . Mn-cHKsrKB . —A CLEBorMiifiirTBOOBtB . —A disgusting sight was witnessed atthe Borough Court on Thursday morningi A clergyman , a curate of the establishment , was , oh that morning ; placed in the dock before Mr Maude ou a charge ot drunken and disorderly conduct . The misguided man in ouestion arrived in Manchester from thc scene ofhis ministerial labours , on Tuesday _erening , and was staying , we believe , at the Crooked Billet , in New Brown street ; Whilst there his conduct was of so singular a kind ( as though : induced by delirium tremens ) , that the landlord found it necessary to eject him . Where he went thence we cannot say , but he
was next heard of early on Wednesday morning , annoying aad challenging to fight gentlemen at the _Postiimoe . From here , however , he waa driven , by _Daslam , the police-officer usually stationed there , and he marched into the Commercial Inn . ; Whilst there , he betawe quite outrageous , stripping off his coat te fight the landlord , wheu a policeman was sent for , and he was given into custody . After hearing the evidence , Mr Maude waa evidently convinced that the prisoner had lost tke . use of his reason through drink , and , after expressing his regret that any one occupying , such a position should so far forcet himself , he told him that he must be detained in _custody until his friends could' be communicaUd with .

, _TOBK'ntas . _Faul _Accimsr to a Ra « . wat _Po-OTfiaux . —On Tuesday , a pointsman , named _Morriehby , met witb a fatal accident near , tho station in York , by an engine running over his legs and one of his arms . An engine was coming iato the station , when Morrishby , whose place is near the arch of the bar-walls , gare a signal to the engineer _^ to stop . At that moment another engine was going in a contrary direction , which-knocked him . dowa , and the - wheels passed ever hia limbs . lie . waa conveyed to the hospital , where he expired the following night .
_SSBBTCHIRE . . Vesomoos Shakes . —Afew daya _sinoe a gentleman staying at Matlotk Bath , who is partial to _entoaiblogioal pursuits , was pursuing hia _faviurite amusement on the Taasley Moors , when _hecaptureda large viper believing it to be only a comraoa harmless snake . The reptile did not attempt to bite at the time it was taken ; but sometime afterwards , on thc box containing it being opened , it bit him severely on the finger . Ilis hand instantly commenced swelling , and he felt sick and faint , and was at length most fortunately discovered ( l ying under a wail in a stateof great prostration of strength , ) by Mr Nuttall , and Mr Esle , overseer tf Matlock . 'The former gentleman ordered his gig immediately , and
conveyed the sufferer home , where , - under medical uttendance , the patient in a few daya recovered . A _correSi'oadent of the Derby paper , who foryear 3 waa in the habit of catching these dangerous reptiles , and who has himself * ' been bitten by one , says that , en the moors and other places where they are commonly met with , the safest way is not on any ao-.-ount to attempt to meddle nith them , as , on being _diicsvered , they will invariably glide off _harmlessly into some retreat , if permitted to do so . The viper , when the skin has been recently sloughed , is frequently—as in the case above related—mistaken for theommon snake , but there is one distinguishing mark which is infallible , viz ,, that tha harmless reptile lias invariably a broad well defined yellow or
orange-coloured ring round tbe throat , and in the viper this is wanting . The latter named reptile is seldom seen more than eighteen sr twenty inches long , and is nearly of a thickness from the head to thevcflt , from whence it suddenly tapers off tea poin * , while the common snake will attain'tbe length of four or even five feet , and ia of a beautifully tapering form throughout . It may be added , that the viper ia most commonly met with in elevated and dry situations , while the snake generally chooses low marshy ground near water for its habitation ; but , notwithstanding the marks and localities named , it is possible to take the one species for tbe other , especially when seen , as they often are , in rapid motion .
_A'OrTISCHiMSHIRB . NftwAHK . _—TanniBtE _Exrnnioj-. —On Sunday last an inquest was held in this borough , by Mr Burnaby , coroner , on the bodies of George Fox , Timothy Hervey , and William Otter , who died on the preceding day , in consequence of injuries received from an explosion which took placo at Mr flervey ' s steam cornmill on Thursday . Ja ? , HerveyofNewaric-apon-Trent said—I have lately been erectinga _steam-ongine at my windmill , at the _Spitals , in this town . The engine was furnished by Messrs Carter and Wharton , of Gainsborough . It was to be of 10 horse power . I had told tbem that I wanted to work two pairs of atone and a machine . The price wosto . be £ 300 , including the making of the engine house , and they
were to _ktep it in order for a twelvemonth . "Vfo commenced workine the engine for the purposes ofthe mills with one pair of atones , on Thursday last . Messre Carter and Wharton , " with two of their men were at the engine all the day whilst it was working . I went down to the mill about two o ' clock , and found Messrs Carter and Wbarton and their two men , and ray nephew , there . The engine was then at work , and the mill grinding . I heard a remark that there was something wrong in the pump , and the engine was stopped . At this time the three deceased , Messrs Carter and Wharton , and myself , were ih the engine house . The two men of Messrs Carter and Wharton were taking some refreshment , and my nephew was looking on . I and Messrs Carter and Wharton
came out and stood' near the fireplace outside . Thc engine bouse door was wide open . I was looking at the boiler , and whilst I was looking , it seemed to me that the front of'the boiler ga 7 e away . I was just pointing out to Messrs Carter and Wharton : that I _thoaght $ omethini ? was going wrong , nnd' an explosion _instantly took place . I heard the door of the engino houso bang to , and after some difficulty it was forced open , and ono of thc men ran out . I saw my nephew brought out . They all seemed as if they had been iii boiling water , ' and were dreadfully scalded : they were alive and sensible . My nephew was taken to my house , and lived until about five o ' clock tho following morning , when he died . Other corroborative and explanatory evidence , having teen adduced , thejury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of' Accidental death , ' but
recommended the parties erecting engino _hoises to have the door to open from the outside , so that in _casa «{ an _acaident the door may blow open , and not shut to in the inside , as it did in this case . The bodies of George Fox aad Timothy Hervey were interred in Newark _Chursh burial-ground on Sunday morning , at half-past ten o ' clock , in the presence of hundreds of spectators . Fox resided in Nottingham _, and has left a wifeand sewn children , alt unprovided for . Otter was a young man , nineteen years of age , and _cstno from Oxton _, to wbich place his remains were removed on Saturday night . Hervey waa a boy , only twelve years anda half of age . Messre Carter and Wharton paid all the expenses of the funerals of tho sufferers . Fox and Otter only survived twelve hours after the accident ; they died in the hospital at i _* ew 2 r " c .

. _BTAFFOBDSHIBE . Dreadful Accidest asd Low of Life . —One of those frightful catastrophes which are almost diurnally recorded in the columns of oar provincial conternperaries diffused terror and di-may in the vicinity of Newcast ' e-under-Lyne , in Stafford-hire . * An elderly lady of large property , Mrs Hassells , who resided with hevton , the Rot . C . S . _BasseBs , at Foxearth , near _Lane-cud , m the Potteries , was retorting from the adjacent village of Leek in a pony carriage , accompanied by a female _Iriend , and driven by a servant-boy , whilst descending the steep hill , near the entrance ot _Cheadleton _, the pony , a high-spirited aninial _. took fright , and galloped down the declivity with the most alarming velocity . All the driver ' s efforts to retard the pony ' s perilous progress were
impotent and rain , and immediately after crossing the bridge oa the canal , Mrs Hassells , her friend , and servant , wero all threo simultaneously ejected from their seats by a sudden jerk of the vehicle , and hurled to the ground with such violence as , from the furious momentum which the carriage had acquired , may he readily imagined . Mra Husscife received a concussion ofthe brain , of which death wag _titejn-Etantaneons consequence . The other lady , a- Mrs Wright , on a visit at Fox-earth , sustained severe ' contusions , but was not dangerously hurt , although the shock and the concomitant catastrophe _have-aatnraliy been productive of serious indisposition at the time . The grief of the Bev . Mr Hassells when apprised of the distressing _inteUigecce may be easily imagined .

It appears that about two months ago the _deceased came to this country , from the eeunty ef Mayo , to work , and his brother and seven other Irishmen , from the same part of the country , arrived in the neighbourhood of _Patshull _abtut six weeks ago . On the 6 th of August , Peter Larkin the brother af tbo deceased ,.. took . the cutting of
twenty-six acres of whoat from Sir Robert Pigolt's land-bailiff at Patshull . They commenced their work the _wesk following , aad during the week the deceased became unwell , and he was removed by the directions of Sir Robert _Pigott . to the Shiffnall union _werkhouse . lie remained there only four days , and then retumnd to Pafehul ) . On Sunday , the 22 nd ult , the wife of the bailiff asked one of the eight men how Larkin , the sick man , wa ? , as she had not seen him during the day . The man iepli » u that he was very poorly , and w « s lying in the out-house . On the following Wednesday , the 25 th when the work had been completed , Peter Larkin and one i _> f the men went to the . bailiff for the money which was due . The bailiff asked Larkin how his brother was , and
whether he would take the money which was due to him . Peter Larkin replied , 'My brother is very poorly indeed , and is lying _abave in the barn . ' The bailiff then paid ail that was due . On the same day about five o ' clock in the afternoon , Peter Larkin , and the man who had accompanied him to thc land bailiff at Patshull , called on Mr Till of Oaken , and asked for a balance duo to his hi other , John Larkin ; he having on a previous occasion received £ 2 , without the knowledge or sanction of the deceased .. JNethiag more was heard of the deceased until Sunday last , when his body was found , as before stated , in the pool . In his right hand was firmly grasped a jug , which had been borrowed by one of the men from Huselby , wife of the land bailiff , on Sunday , the 32 nd , when John Larkin was first missed ., The only article of clothing found on the body was a shirt , and no clothes have since beenf discovered in
the neighbourhood / On Monday night las' ah _inquii y into the cause of the death of the deceased was commenced at the Park- Fami . Patshull , beforo G . Hincliffe , Esq . A post « ior « ra cx « mination of the body took place on Tuesday , by Dr Bidwell ; of Air brighton , assisted by his father , Mr Bidwell , surgeon , of- that town ; ' We hear that marks of a severe blow or blows were found oh the left side of the head and face of the deceased ; and we believo . it is the opinion of Dr Bidwell and his father , that although the deceased came by his death from ' drownihg , yet he must _previously-have received the blows referred to ; that those blows must have stunned him , and that while in that state he was put into the water . We also hear that it is the opinion of the medical gentlemen , from the state of decomposition in which the body now is , that it must have been in the pond at least five or six days . '

Cawthorne endeavoured to extinguish his lamp . The current of air thus propelled drove the flame outside the gauza frame , and an explosion was tbe consequence .

There was a stiff breeze below when he rose from the ground , but on ascending some height the balloon was completely becalmed and remained stationary for a quarter of an hour over one field .

Thia appearance continued for about four minutes , when the balloon descended into a lower region , aud the image gradually faded away .

Destbuct'vb Fibes—Afew days ago , a fire broke out on the farm buildings , belonging to the Governors of the Charter House , in the occupation of Mrs Pavy , at E . _'combe , in the parish of _Wrou ghton , near the road leading from Swindon to Devizes . ' . So rapidly did the flame a envelopo the bui'dings . that in a very short period the whole became ' a heap of ruins . Several stacks of corn were in the farm yard close to the buildings ; fortunately they were saved , but not without the greatest exertions having been made . Oneof the wheat stacks stood within a few feet ot the blazing barn , and had at one time become ignited , but a labourer named Gray , at great personal risk , succeeded in stifling tho flames . We understand thatthe _Governen ofthe Charter House are fully insured from their loss in the R 9 yal Exchange office ' . It is supposed tho fire originated frem some children ofa labourer having obtained lucifcr matches , and , in play , set fire to some straw .

At the Tralce union , on Tuesday , amemorial to thegoverament , proposed by JohB Lynch , Esq ., and seconded By Robert Conway Hickson , Esq ., was unanimously adopted ; it was to the effect , that * As the Legislativo Dhion professes to connect Great Britain and Ireland in coramos fortune , _memerialists most respectfully submit that advances made under ; the Temporary Labour Rate and Temporary , Relief Act 8 by an Imperial-Parliament , out of an Imperial Trea _^ sury , to _navo a people co-subjects ofthe same Crown from famine , should be an imperial debit , and ought not to be charged exclusively to Ireland . That , in the present embarrassed state ofthe country , repayment even of Ireland ' s le | itimate proportion of such advances , if sought to be immediately enforced , would
not only fail to be effected , but would most assuredly as immediately lead to the total destruction of the tenant ratepayer as aclasis , and the pauperisation of the entire people . Memorialists , therefore ,. most humbly hope that Ireland may be altogether released from payment of such advances ; or , in aceordaace with the seventh article of the . - Union , be only eharged with her own fair proportion thereof , ; repayable by moderate annual instalments from aud after the 1 st January , 1850 .

At a meeting of the Carlow guardians on Thursday weik _, the chairman stated that there had ; been resistance to the collection of thc rate for out-door relief in Graigue , Shrulo , aud Aries ; that the Rev Mr Uickey , on Sunday last , told his flock not to pay for out-door relief , and that he would write immediately to Conciliation Hall for instructions how to act . The result was , that a rescue had been made on the property seized for poor rate . It was resolved to communicate with thc commissioners on the subject .

The Limerick Reporter Rives an account of resistance to the collection of tlie new poor-rate in the parish of Em y _, _county of Tipperary .

that ho will take tbe collector ' s receipt as so moth rent paid , and this without deducting the proportion for which he i 3 liable as a landlord . _; Mr Hickson ' a application for a loan for drainage and other reproductive works , to be extended over ah area of 12 , 800 acres , and the expenditure on which , will exceed £ 14 . 000 , has been gazetted . 'Accordingly , without waitinglbr the first advance _frani the Board of _tori's , Mr Hickson has commenced operations with his own money , allocating for that purpose aconsiderable _eiim . Wo hope we shall see his example , and that of Mr _Crosbie , of Ardfert , imitated by other proprietors ; for it isa fact , self-evident to all but ths Wind and aptahetic , that nothing but reproductive employment can save the landlords as well as the * occupiers of the soil in this country from utter and irretrievable ruin .

The Explosion On Board Tue Ckckp, ¦ .,- ...
THE EXPLOSION ON BOARD TUE _CKckp _, ¦ .,- STEAMER . _^ ADJOURNED IKQOS 8 T . The adjourned inquest on the bodies of the m _^ killed b y the late explosion of the Crichet _uteatt _s _* was reiumed Monday morning , at II o ' clock . _T the board room of Sfc Martin ' s Workhouse , before _^ Bedford , the Westminster coroner . ' On tho panel being called over one ofthe in * named Fry , ' said , that though he 8 atonthe 8 ra ( di of the inquiry , he . wat * not sworn , and he could 3 therefore now take his place with the rest lie * _T allowed to withdraw , leaving a jury of ic _nitty _^
The Coroner said , on Saturday last Messrs ** Lloyd , and C . Hughes were nominated , on the dm of Her _, Majesty a Government , to make a _thoronS examination el the machinery of the Cricket 1 & source whence tbeir nomination proceeded _wasasef flcient guarantee of their _gieat practical knowledis and-experience . Their _investig ation wilt be m , ducted in the presence of an engineer named on ih . part of the proprietors of the steamer , and of Mr Joyce and Mr O . Pox , on behalf of Mr Joyce bimirif _( _tfee maker Of tfw engines ) . The evidence he saonH take that day was merely a completi on of the * nedi . _callink in the chain of evidence as to the _removals one ef ' -the bodies to tho hospital . Ue then _shouH propose to adjourn tbe inquiry for a week , _rcservin _; the remaining evi-fcneo till the offieial inspectfca should have been made .
It was _understood that fie engineer appointed fo act with the gentlemen named by the govern _tBCDt _, on behalf of the _proprietors , is Mr Elijah Galloway ; Witnesses were then examined as to the causeso } death and nature of wounds of the deceased . The Coroner then observed , that he thought ft wouldbo advisable to defer receiving any farther evidence until after an examination of the _boiler and engines of the Cricket had been made . That e * aminatioh would probably not be completed in niacb less than' a week ; and as the room in which thev
were assembled would be required forthe meeting of the board of guardians on Monday next , he would suggest the adjournment of the inquiry until to-morrow ( Tuesday ) week ; Mr Af . Chambers said _Jtliar , before the jury adjourned , he wished to make an application to thecoroncr on behalf of the Cricket . From the situation in whicii the wreck had been placed , the machinetj was now subjected , on the return of the tide , to the actioa of tho water ; it was sustaining very consider * able damage , and tho longer it remained in the same situation , the more would ita valuo be depreciated .
The Coroner considered that , after the engineers had completed tbeir _examination , there could be no reason for preventing the proprietors ofthe Cricket from resuming possession of the vessel and machinery . He was not aware that , after the examination had been made , ho would have any further _controul over the vessel . The inquiry was then _adjourned until Tuesday , the 14 : h inst ., at 11 o ' clook .
Capital Punishment. As Uxecctiox Scbsb. ...
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT . AS UXECCTIOX SCBSB . On Wednesday week , Walsh , convicted ofthe murder of a man also named Walsh , at Bishop ' s Hall , expiated the fearful crime by the hands of the executioner ; Since his participation with the unfortunate men Larking and Daniel in the daring attempt to escape from the prison on Monday week , the conduct of Walsh has been exemplary and penitent , and his _attention to his religious duties has been intense and unceasing . He ha 3 continually regretted his having identified himself in the mattor , and blamed Larking for enticing liim . to do so . When he heard that the two unfortunate men were dead , on Wednesday week , he declared that his mind was then
easy , and that he could tranquilly devote himself , for the time he had to live , to his religious concerns and to-staking his peace with an offended Deity . Aboiit . half-past ono on Wednesday tho unfortunate criminal made his _apoearance in the corridor , preceded by the High and Under Sheriff " , and the governor of the prison . He joined with his two attending clergymen , the Rev Messrs Maher and Hennessey , in prayer with great fervency , thoug h his knowledge of English was very imperfect . When told by the _hanuman to get up , he did so with great readiness , displaying no weakness whatever ; and he gave that functionary every facility in his power whilst- pinioning his arms . He then walked forirard boldly on the drop , having thc usual 'shite eft ? *» " _*«
Ilis face ; and being placed in the proper position , after standing a moment or two , the unhappy culprit turned his head half round to _thu press room and exclaimed , 'Will I be Jot tospeak a few words V There was no answer , as his meaning was not at once caught . He then repeated firmly- 'Will I be let speak a few words , gentlemen ? ' It was at once intimated to bim that Ae in " git do so ; when ho said , in a satisfied voic ? _. ' That ' s right . ' After obtaining permission to speak , the prisoner ' TCKaiwiAWt _Sft _*""* time beating his breast , and exclaiming in a low tone , ' Lord have mercy upon me . ' He thon , in a loud and distinct voice , and leaning forward over the drop , exclaimed in Irish , * _Wilsbiev-ia-shhi ?' _( Areyou there ?) There being no _answer , he said in _linglish— Boys , aro ye all there < * More than one votco exclaimed' We are , we are . ' Thc unhappy man then continued as follows— 'Now , 1 ' mgoin' to die , an I ' m innocent ; an' I hope I barn' a lie in
my mown _goin before my God , kinging mv poor soul before Him . I wasn't there , nor hadn't hand , act , or part m it . I camo up after . If I had been nvc minutes sooner I'd have saved his life and my own . I fargivo all that swore against me . ' Uerc he mentionedTarious persons by sobriquets , 'living ' _hosaid _j _'inSlicve-rbu . ' And 'fathers ami brother ? , ' he continued , 'don't havo any revenge in your hearts against them ; I forgive them all . An' boys , let ye nil keep from bad company and drinkin' -an ' iv 1 was said by my true lovo I wouldn't be here today . Let ye a / I pray for rhy poor soul —( murmurs o \ Uside ) -an ' Godbo _wid ye all now , neighbours . ' Here the fatal bolt was drawn , but from some mismanagement the poor culprit , instead of being thrown ofFfell on hw back upon tho board , so thai the hangman was obliged to push him out from behind ; and from the short and gradual fall the wretched mi " struggled very hard for some moments , annearin gto
suiter most poignant agony . During his strugg _^ his lather and two brothers , who were on the green beneath tho drop , rented their griet in loud oric 3 and _cxclaraationa .
