      COXSPIRACT IX _POSEX . The German _AUgemewc Zeitung gives the following _*** onicwl notification : — .. "Bebijx , Nov . 11 . Accordin g to aothentic accounts from _Tosen , jwenty-five persons were arrested there on the Sth _te-fc > nt , under strong suspicion of dangerous trea-* _* Wj . ib ] e intri gues , but , with the exception ofa _book-^ _uir . mostly belonging to the lower class of the comluunity . " Lettere horn ihe Polish frontier , likewise of - 0 T -11 , bring much more detailed accounts of the t'eeurrence in question . The following are the chief _1-ar ticulare : — . A secret political association has been discovered

      r _A _" _^ u , which is , to all appearances , a continuation j * . the conspiracy of last February , of which the _government was at that time unable to discover the rin gleaders . The instigators of all these secret _Erunenvres are most probably to he found in Poland _^ d Paris , where the restoration of Polish _independence is not yet despaired of ; andthe idea employed _£ » a never-failing engincforstirringupthe exciteable _spirits of thc unhappy Poles . The insurrection on tins occasion was intended to explode in the grand < : » . Jiy of Posen , in which all the Poles were expected to take part . The first act was to he the seizure of the powder magazine , to which it is said false keys

      Had already been procured , through one of tbe conspirators , a _^ locksmith , aided by a military person , _Tri _ o had given him access to examine the locks . Ths public treasury was next to be got possession of , and then the signal _vras to be given for a general _lining of the people , to arm whom the public depots _^<; re to be seized upon ; and in case these did not suffice , pikes , scythes , and other similar weapons are declared to have been in readiness in several villages . This last circumstance leads to the conclusion that ir *' -intended moment of revolt was close at hand , ouienvisc such collections of weapons would have _i-eea _moslimprudently _danscious , as involving almost

      ,--" -"" France. -.,_., . Poon Asd Riots...

      certain detection . It is not yet known how , or by whom , the conspiracy was discovered ; one thing only is certain , that from forty to fifty persons have already been arrested , of whom the few who belong to a higher class of society are all foreigners , which confirms the conjecture that neither the source of the conspiracy , nor its leaders , are to be found within the Russian bounds . Among the natives of Posen who are implicated in the affair , are especially named the locksmith above alluded to ( in whose loft seven persons were found concealed ) , a baker , several noncommissioned officers , a wine merchant , & c ., & c . A domiciliary search , which was yesterday set on foot by the police , produced no discovery . "

      TURKEY . The Lt . dawos Disarmed . —Co » sTAXintopi . E Nov . ? . —We were all astonished here by learning , a day or two ago , that jShekib Effendi had disarmed the Lebanon . Turldish troops , it seems , had possession of all the _strong positions of the mountain ; the means were at hand suddenly to disarm the tribes , and the Porte has been tempted , by the facilities it thus enjoyed , to execute a project which it has no doubt long wished to see carried into effect . The disarmment ( which if not already complete , will be completed in a few days' time ) has taken place , it appears , entirely without resistance . Indeed , the mountain has not ibr manyyears been so tranquil as during the . last few { months ; so much so , that there was not even a pre text for having recourse tothe violent and extreme couree that his been pursued . At all the embassies here , the intelligence of this event has occasioned great surprise and displeasure .

      _-,,--: GREECE . Correspondence from Athens of the 10 th inst . states that the Ministers were every day becoming more unpopular , and that considerable alarm prevailed throughout the provinces , in consequence of the number of brigands infesting them . To the present period , however , they had respected travel lers , bnt they plundered villages indiscriminately . The 12 th inst . was fixed for closing the Chambers , after sitting fourteen months .

      THE RIVER PLATE . The French _Governmenthasreceived accounts from Buenos Ayres ofthe _ISthof September , which state that the United French and English squadrons have forced the entrance of the . TJruguay . and the Parana . Guarebaldi , the . commander of the Montevidean forces , has occupied the island of Martin Garcia , which commands the month of the Uruguay , and which is said to be the most important military station in South America . A part of the squadron had ascended the river for the purpose of occupying the islands inthe neighbourhood of Montevideo . The government of Buenos Ayres continued to publish decrees forbidding all intercourse and communication with the allied squadrons . None of the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres could obtain passports to leave the city , except by giving security _^ and binding themselves to have no intercourse with Monte Video .

      CIRCASSIA . As Emissary prom Russia to _Ciecassia Adjudged to Death bt Shamiii . —The following is an extract from a letter from Constantinople , dated _November 7 th : —A " , fact ha 3 taken place in Bagnestan , which will produce much sensation in Russia , and may have important consequences . An embassy , who has been called an ambassador , from the court of St Petersburg ( the Kaisasker or grand judge of the Mahome * dans of the Crimea ) having been sent to make overtures , or at least proposals of peace with Circassia , has been put to death at the instigation of Shamil . Two pretexts have been alleged by the Circassians in justification of this act : the first is that the Kaisasker did not go straightly and openly to his professed

      object ; that he did net address himself at once to Shamil , and declare distinctly the mission with which he was intrusted , but conferred previously with beys and chiefs possessing influence in Circassia , in a way to excite suspicion , and to give himself the character of a spy ( and that he did proceed in this manner all the accounts agree in affirming ); and the second is , that , being a Mussulman his appearance as envoy from a Christian power to a Mussulman people is , by the Koran , declared to be the highest act of treason—incurring the penalty of death —of wMch an Islamite can be guilty . The Kaisasker , as soon as his proceedings and his ostensible purpose on the Circassian territory were known , was arrested by order of

      Shamil , and brought before a council of Ulemahs , to be put on his trial . He underwent a regular trial or examination , the result of whieh wns that he was publicly beheaded , his quality of ambassador from Russia , which he pleaded urgently , affording him no protection whatever . I must add , that this emissary was not accredited from the court of St . Petersburg , that though he claimed the title of ambassador he had no papers to show that he was really one , and if , therefore , it be true , tliat he hadbeen tampering with the fidelity of the Circassian chiefs , endeavouring to corrupt them , or to sow division among them , Ids execution as a spy was certainly a justifiable act . Shamil may on this occasion have acted fiom the impulses of a Circassian ; but assuredly , supposing that fact I have stated to be correct , he may justify his conduct by argumeut which will be held good by all civilised states . The effect of this bold measure will be , no

      doubt , to strengthen the Emperor Nicholas in the obstinacy ( which seemed to be relaxing ) with which he has ever prosecuted the Circassian war ; and this effect has been probably aimed at by Shamil ; for he has acuteness enough to see that the independence of Circassia may be greatly more perilled by peace , by the establishment of commercial relations between that country and Russia , than it can be by a concontinuance of war , in which Russia gets so dreadfully the worst of it , as to furnish a spectacle of defeat and disaster to the world every successive year she wages it . At thc request of the Russian ambassador here the Porte has sent a firman to the Turkish provinces on the frontier of the Russian territory , desiring the Pachas of those provinces to take every measure to prevent the emigration of Mahomcdans into Dagnestan , whether they have lately gone in gre . it numbers to join the Circassians . Of course this firman will produce no effect .

      ALGERIA . Progress of the Arab Insurrection . — The Journal des Lelats publishes news from Algeria of the 15 th and lGth , from which it appears that the prospects of those parts of the colony where the insurrection has broken out are by no means improved . The Debats even admits that the insurrection itself is spreading , and that the French troops continue stil ! nn the defensive , not being in a position to attack their enemies . Our contemporary states that this state of affairs is likely te continue for some time yet . Accounts from Constantine state that a serious

      insurrection has taken place in the province of Constance . One of the cherifs has placed himself at the head of some ofthe tribes in the part of the province situated between Sctif and the camp of Batua , on thewaytoBiscara , and bythe latest accounts that part of the country was in full insurrection . The Governor of Constantine has sent a strong column of troops in quest of the rebellious cherif , and set a reward upon his head . Marshal Bugeaud , in his reports to the Government on the state of the colony , does not conceal the serious nature of the insurrection _, lie has made urgent requests for additional reinforcements , especially in cavalry .

      SOUTH AUSTRALIA . The Ports of South _Austhaua . —A bill declaring Port Adelaide a free port , by abolishing dues and fees of everv description heretofore payable by vessels visiting or " frequenting our harbours , passed the Council on Thursday , July 3 , and takes effect from that dav . Its operation is not restricted to vessels ot any nation , but applies equally to all ships , from whatever part of the globe they may have taken their departure . Doubtless the captains in command of the first arrivals will be as much surprised to hear that they have no tonnage dues , landing clues , entrance dues , clearance dues , light dues , harbour dues , pilotage dues , or Custom-house fees to pay , as were our own hon . members of council , and the colonists generallv , at this spontaneous act ol liberality on the part of his Excellency the Governor .

      NEW ZEALAND . Third Repuish asd _Slaughtkr of British Troops by the NAHVES _^ -By intelligence from New Zealand , received « a _. Bombay , it _»»««» . _*»** third attempt ofthe British forcestoreduce thechief Hekihas turned out a total and disastrous fa lure . On the 1 st of July , after a week of _unsuccessiul operations before Heki _' s pah , or stockade fortress-in the course of which tlie _w- _^ _df ,, _^^ J * pard , discovered that" the _j _^ uns heliad bi _* o ughtwith him from Auckland were quite ineffective for breaching , from their very defective carnages , as tliev frequently upset from their own firing "—it was determined to resort to more vigorous measures . Having reinforced himself with one of the heavy guns belonging to her Majesty ' s ship Hazard , which _piece ot artillery was _brousbt uo to his camp with infinite

      difficulty , over fifteen miles of " most execrable road "—and having likewise received practical evidences of the activity and resources of the " rebels , " or the " enemy , " as tbey are -variously designated , which made it clear that he must either advance or retreat—the colonel resolved on attempting to carry Hcki s position by a coup de main . After firing' ofi the " few shots brought np from theHazard , twentysix in . 'iumber , " which , it was expected , would so oose u the stockades as to enable the assailant party

      ,--" -"" France. -.,_., . Poon Asd Riots...

      to cot and pull them down , the assault commenced . _Wfl give the result in the Colonel ' s own words , in his despatch of the following day : — . When the advance was sounded , they rushed forward in tho most gallant and daring manner , aad every endeavour was made to pull the stockade down . They partially succeeded in opening the outer one , but the _inivard one resisted all their efforts , and being lined with men firing through loophole ' s on a level with the ground ; and from others half way up , our men were falling so fast that , notwithstanding the most daring acts of bravery and the greatest perseverance , they were obliged to retire . This could not be effected without additional loss iu the endeavour to bring off the wounded men , in which they were generally successful . The retreat was covered by the party under Lieutenant-Colonel Holme , ofthe 9 Gth regiment ; and too much praise , cannot be given to that officer for the coolness and steadiness with which he popducted it under a very heavy fire . ' : ¦ ' '"\

      In this action , the Colonel adds , " one-third ; of the men actually engaged fell ; " and "during the eight days that he had been engaged in carrying ; on operations against the place , one-fourth of the whole strength of the British soldiers under his command ( originally not exceeding 490 ) had been either , killed or wounded . " A private letter , of alater date , speaks of a second attack , some days afterwards , with the . guns of the Hazard , whicli is stated to hare been followed by tlie evacuation of tho pah in the night time '; but the story seems of very dubious authenticity .

      VOTB YOURSF 1 F A FARM . Are you an American citizen ? Then you area jointowner of the public lands . Why not take enough of your property to provide yourself a home ? Why not vote yoursel f afarm ? _.,- . _- . .: ¦ Remember Poor Richard's saying : — "Now I have a sheep and a cow , every one bids me ' good morrow . '" If a man have a house and a home of his own ,, though it be a thousand miles off , he is well received in other people ' s houses ; while the homeless wretch is turned away . The bare right to a farm , though you should never go near it , would save you from many an insult . Therefore , vote yourself a farm . Are y » u a party follower ? Then you have long enough employed your vote to benefit scheming offiee-seekers : use it for once to benefit yourself—vote yourself a farm . Are you tired of slavery—of drudging for others—of poverty and its attendant miseries ? Then , vole yourself afarm .

      Are you endowed with reason t Then you must know that your ri ght to life necessarily includes the right to a place to lire in—the right to a home . Assert this right , so long denied to mankind by _feudal robbers and theii attorneys . Vote yourself afarm . Are you a _believar in the Scriptures ? Then assert that the laud is Vie Lord ' s , because Be made it . Resist , then , the blasphemers who exact money for His work , even as you would resist them should they claim to be worshipped foi His holiness . Emancipate the poor from the necessity of encouraging such blasphemy—vote the freeooh ofthe PUBLIC LANDS . Are you a man ? Then assert the sacred rights of man —especially your right to stand upon God ' s earth , and to tillltforyour ownprofit . Vote yourself a farm .

      "Would you free your country , and the sons of toil everywhere , from the heartless , irresponsible mastery of the aristocracy of avarice ? Would you disarm this aristocracy of its chief weapon , the fearful power of banishment from God's earth ! Then join with your neighbours to form a true American party , having for its guidance the principles of the American Revolution , and whose chief measures shall be—1 . To limit the quantity of land that any one man may henceforth monopolise or inherit ; and , 2 , To make the public landfreeto actual settlers only , each having the right to sell his improvements to any man not possessedof other land . Thesegreatmeasuresonce carried wealth would become a changed social element ; it would then consist of the accumulated products of human

      labour , instead of a hoggish monopoly of the products of God's labour ; and the antagonism of capital and labour for ever cease . Capital could no longer grasp the largest share of the labourer ' s earnings , as a reward for not doing him all the injury the laws of the feudal aristocracy authorise , viz ., the denial of all stock to work upon aud all place to _livein , ' -To derive any profit from the labourer . it must'first give him work ; for it could no longer wax fat by levying a dead tax upon his existence . The hoary Iniquities of Norman land-pirates would cease to pass current as American law . Capital , with its power for good undiminished , would lose the power to oppress ; and a new era would dawu upon the earth , and rejoice the souls of a thousand generations , Therefore , forget not to vote yourself afarm .

Several medical men extra have been sent up .

      _Mahometan Schism . —A new sect has lately set itself up in Persia , at the head of which is a merchant who had returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca , and proclaimed himself a successor to the Prophet . The way they treat such matters at Shiraz appears in the following account ( June 23 ) : —Four persons being heard repeating their profession of faith according to the form prescribed by the impostor , were apprehended tried , and found guilty of unpardonable blasphemy . They were sentenced to lose , their beards by fire being set " to them . Not deeming the loss of their beards a sufficient punishment , they were further sentenced the next day , to have their faces blacked and exposed through the city . Each of them was led by a mirgazah ( executioner ) , who had made a hole in his nose and passed through it a string , which he sometimes pulled with such violence that the unfortunate fellows cried out alternately for mercy from the executioner and for vengeance from heaven .

      Operative Tailors . —A document , drawn up with apparently great care by the Operative Tailors' Association , shows that in Liverpool 1 , 187 men , 3-33 women , and 41 boys are employed in their own houses , which are for tlie most part in a dirty and unhealthy state ; while only 903 men and , 139 boys , are employed in workshops on their masters ' premises . Ol the dwellings used as workshops 522 arc bedrooms and 127 are cellars ; while in 222 courts parties are working at home for shops .

      The United _Thades' Association and Tni _ Lancashire Framework-knitters . —Sir , in the Star ot Oct . 18 th , 1845 , under the head of " Trades' Movements , " there appears a statement to the effect that tlie Leicestershire Framework-knitters have sent in their adhesion to the United Trades' Union . This is not true . There are 18 , 000 Framework-knitters in this county , and not 1 , 000 as yet have joined the association . I send this that people may not be led astray . —TIiomas Wintebs , Secretary . —15 , Eatonstreet , Leicester , Nov . 25 th , 1815 ,

      _Leicbsteb— Framework-knitters . —The Framework-knitters of this town held a public' meeting in the Royal Amphitheatre ; on Monday last ( when from 1 , 200 to 1 , 400 assembled ) , to read and analyse the speech of M . D . Hill , Q . C ., delivered in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , in the case of Chawner v . Cummins , concerning the stoppage of wages for framerent , & c , contrary to the provisions of the Truck Act . Mr . George Buckby was unanimously called to the chair , who , after briefly opening the business , called npon Mr . T . Winters , the secretary , to address the meeting . He commenced by reading the speeches ofthe counsel , and argued that * the whole of Mr . D . Hill ' s speech was a genuine piece of sophistry _througlt out . _showins there was no analoev between the

      services of man and a machine . If the frame was a coworkman of the man , by the same rule every machine or tool in the kingdom was entitled to a part of the man ' s earnings . Mr . Hill had said there was no gross sura , but a net sum , while all the world knew that from the earliest history of frame-knitting , there had never been a gross and net sum . After reading a table of frame expenses under a Mr . Collins , ol whieh the following is a summary , he concluded by appealing to the good sense of the meeting on the question at issue : — "Twelve frames ; one , three at once ; three , four at once ; three , five at once ; three , six at once ; one seven , mid one , eight at once , whose united weekly charges amounted to £ 6 4 s . 5 d , for which sum 135 dozens of stocking legs would have to be made , leaving the workman 4 s . lid . in debt ,

      before they could earn one farthing for themselves . These twelve frames , multiplied by six , gives seventytwo , making 810 dozens for charges per week , leaving the workman £ 1 9 s . Cd . in debt . " Mr . W . Upton , of Thumaston , next addressed the meeting in a very effective manner , after which Mr . Kirby , of Great Wigstone , delivered an instructive address , enlivened at times by several amusing anecdotes . The chairman then delivered one of his usual effective speeches with great energy , fully demonstrating the baneful system under which we live , not only to thc workmen themselves , but to the ratepayers . A few questions were asked , and satisfactorily answered , when a unanimous vote of thanks were given to J . Briggs , Esq ., for the use of the theatre . —Thomas Winters , Secretary .

      Mansfield Framework-knitters . —The Framework-knitters , as a body , are , doubtless , aware that tlie Ticket Bill will become law on the 1 st of January ; thatis a bill compelling manufacturers to give a ticket on the delivery of work , specifying the quality and the price of the said work . This has caused a great deal of confusion in the ranks of the middle men or agonts , as they are fully aware that it will expose their nefarious practices . Attempts * , are already being made to make up the loss which they will sustain through thc Ticket Bill , by reducing the men ' s _nlvAiidv starvation prices . Men are beginning

      to see how futile are mere sectional unions—that they are incapable of coping with those gigantic evils which meet them on every hand . We have nowjoined the National Association of United Trades , and ave determined to support tlie Executive in their laborious task . Wo called a public meeting on Monday , the 24 th inst ., for the transaction of the quarterly business , when committees were formed to prepare statements of all kinds of work , preparatory to the Ticket Bill becoming law . Wc hope thc Framework-knitters throughout the country will do likewise .

      Deplorable Calamity In Ireland. At A Lat...

      DEPLORABLE CALAMITY IN IRELAND . At a late hour on Tuesday evening accounts reached Dublin of the following frightful catnstrophe '—The night-boat to Longford started on Tuesday afternoonrhaving on board eight passengers' in the fore or principal cabin , and considerably upwards of twenty in the after-cabin . Upon reaching the neighbourhood of Clonsilla , the steersman went below to dine , and unhappily committed the rudder , as Ave have been informed , to a boy employed on board the boat . This boy , either knowing nothing of the

      proper mode of steering , or not attending to the serious duty unfortunately and rashly committed to him , permitted the boat to run upon the bank ofthe canal , which caused her immediately to capsi _* _- * , and speedily to fill with water . The fore-cabin passengers were saved , as that portion of the boat lay almost out of the water , which is , of course-, shallow at the bank ; the unhappy after-passengers plunged into the deepest portion of the canal , could not extricate themselves , and as no immediate- assistance was at hand many of them have _pushed in the waters . The number drowned is _fifteen *

      Fatai . Accidest at the Loudwatbr Paper Mill , near Rickmersworth . —Oa Friday night , Nov . 21 st , as Thomas Try , in the employ of Messrs . Weedon , and Son , was returning from '_ t part of the mill where alum is stored , to the _enyine-room , there being a shorter cut over an almost dry ditch , across which a plank is laid , than by tins main road , thc night being very dark , it is surm _. ised the poor fellow lost his footing and fell headlong into __ the cavity , a depth of many feet ; his head came in contact with one of thc piles that supijort the bunk , causing a violent contusion . A mi _> . n passing at some distance hearing a noise made by the buckets , proceeded in the

      direction thereof , but not seeing __ anything went forward with his wo , rk . Having again to pass the same way in a few minutes , lie heard a groan , being much alarmed , he called loudly for a light , when poor Try was discovered lying in the chasm , liis head resting upon the polo whicli had inflicted a wound from wliich the blood was streaming . Further assistance having arrived , the poor fellow was removed to his cottage in a hopeless condition . Medical aid was procured with all dispatch , but tlie poor fellow lingered till four o ' clock the following morning when death terminated his sufferings . He has left a widow , and sk children totally unprovided for ,

      •Determined ; And :: Deliberate • Murder...

      • DETERMINED ; AND :: DELIBERATE MURDER . On Thursday evening _^ nt about a quarter-past five o ' clock , one of th _^ most . cool and _deliberata act ' s ? _pSmuider that has been committed in the metropolis for many years , was perpetrated in Peacock-street Newington . At that time Daniel Fitzgerald , a labourer in the employ of Mr . Quennel , a respectable builder , in Kennington . Iane , aud a countryman of his , named Owen M'Carthy , wtre proceeding home after the labours of the day , and as they turned into _Peacocls-strect they were met , at rather a dark spot , by a person who came In front of tliem , and who , without the ' _alightcJt parley or uttering : a sentence , deliberately presented a pistol to the breast of poor _Titzgerald , and discharged its contents into h _ 9 body . M'Carthy was so ' affected -rrith the _snfldenness of

      the act and thefla ' sh of the powder upon his face , that he became powerless for a moment , and the assassin would have escaped but for the promptitude of two- gentlemen named Cotton andI AUam , ' - whb _^ witnessing the _murder , instantly pursued ; tlio asshssin ' , ' who : had taken to his heels .. His pursuers ; however , gained ground" so fast upon him , that they succeedad in capturing him before he Had got far down _Keimiirjton-laue , and after ivmning about ! . 00 ynrds _' _ora'llttle better . , On securing him those gentlemen toefc-himr . to * , the police station in Kennington-lane , and gar ? e him over' to Lockyer _. -the gaoler , saying : that he had Been- shooting _, somebody , but they did not know _whether _thpmdn hsrstiot at was dead or not . The prisone * all -this time waver uttered a single syllable , and wastaken . iiito . _tlle'station by loebyer , where h & . sat , down , apparently _oaite

      coaiposed .. Id a few minutes intelligence _reached tl « station that Fitzgerald was no more , and that so deliberate waa the . act ol assassination that the . uuforicttate _mari never uttered a single ; groan . The body having fallen cJOss to the _PeacocfepoMic-house , at fhe corner of Peacock-street and _Kenningtbit-road , was carried into t ? . flt house r and Mr . Smith , a _srsrjeon inthe neighbourhood } , was in immediate atte ' _ndainee , but the instant he saw _tllie _deceased he pronounced . him dead . On e * _imining tTte body lie found that the- b __ H had enterc ( 3 «_ e left breast , passed through ( he had not the slightest dbubt ) the heart , and came out at the left Bide of the bask , so that ftis death meat have been _instantaneous , and one ofthe policemen _picSsei up the ball whiefe had _causetS Hoe fatal . wound at the bottom of the staircase of the i-eacocl ; , it Having fallen * from the body while the deceased was being

      removed _. The murderer , _Troon > the « havgebeing : a * DOut _* -to be * entered against him , gave- the name of _Snaiuel Quennel , and it was then ascertained that ha was brother of Mr . Quennel , the builder , and ,, ss well as tIia _*( Jccoased , had been employed hy him . While the clia _? ge was being taken , Mr . Inspector Carter-asked the prisoner if he had the pistol about hiin ? and _hi's * reply ivas , _tlia-iyhe had not . Immediately after , however , theprisoner was-in the act of taking _something out ofhis pocket , when Lockyer seized hi 3 arm , and found that he had got a pistol in his hand , which was-immediately secured . It was-a good sized pocket-pistol , single barrel , percussion _loeM-, and it was evident that it had been but just discharged ; Upon the prisoner being further searched , swnostrong _sordin < r was found in his pocket , with twopence in copper , and some trifling article _.

      On making inquiries as to the causes which led to so deliberate an act of murder , it appeared that , for some cause or other , the prisoner had been discharged ftom his employment by his brother on Saturday last , mid , supposing that Fitzgerald had been the cause of his dismissal , had been heard during tho week to make use of the most _violent threats towards Fitzgerald , and even go so far as to say that he would shoot him . Poor Fitzgerald resided at No tl , Peacock-street , and his assassin resided close by , so that the unfortunate man met his death within a few yards of his home ; indeed , sufficiently near for his wife and five children to hear the report of the shot which deprived them ofa husband and a father . The prisoner , who is a married man , is twentytwo years of age .

      EXAMINATION OP TIIE MURDERER . On Friday morning , shortly after Mr . Henry had taken his seat on the bench at the Lambeth court , and disposed of the night charges , the prisoner , Samuel _Quennell , was brought from the police cells which adjoin the court , aud placed at the felen ' s bar . The first witness called was Owen M'Garthy , a labourer , of Ns . 10 , Queen-street , Walworth , who deposed that he had formerly been in the employment of Mr . Quennell , builder , of _Kennington-lane _, and brother to the prisoner . AVas at work at Mr . Quottttell ' s the day before , and on coming out at his dinner-hour saw the prisoner standing nearly opposite , aad closo to the Horse and Groom public-liouse . About five o ' clock he ( witness ) and Fitzgerald left Mr . Quennell ' s yard , went along _Kuiiningtou-lane , across the Kenningtonroad , and got into the court leading to

      Peacock-street . ' The deceased was a little m front of him ( witness ) when he saw the prisoner come in front ot him and point something towards his breast , and discharge a pistol at him . Witness ' s eyes were dazzled at the moment , and he first thought it was something to frighten them ; but , at the instant , he saw Fitzgerald in the act of falling , exclaiming , " I ' m shot . " As soon as he recovered his sight , he saw the prisoner walk away , and he followed and called out , " He has shot the man . " The prisoner then commenced running , but two gentlemen stopped him , and witness came up when the gentle _, man had secured him ; but he did not hear the prisoner say anything . Witness went lo inform the prisoner *! _, brother what had happened , and the prisoner was taken to the station . Witness did not hnow what had become of Fitzgerald . He did not know of his own knowledge whether there liad been any disagreement , between the prisoner and the deceased .

      Mr . Wm . Henry Cullen aeposed , that on the preceding evening be was passing along the Kennington-road , when he heard the report ofa pistol , and immediately after he saw the prisoner run , and heard some persons call out "Stop him . " He ( witness ) instantly followed and took the prisoner .- Some persons came up nt the time , and the prisoner said , " Take nie to tlie station-house . " Henry Martin Allan ., a barge builder , in Agnes-street , Waterloo-road , corroborated the greater part of the _evidencs of tho last witness . In reply to Mr . Henry , this witness said thu only expression he heard the prisoner use was , " Take me to the station-house ; there is where'l want to go . " Ann Westivood , of No . 1 , _Peacock-street , deposed that about a quarter to five o ' clock , she was in her own house , and heard the report of a pistol , and on opening the door she saw the deceased lying close to her door all of a heap .

      Frederick , Bunn _, shopman to Mrs . Tubb . who keeps a broker's shop in the New-cut , said that on Saturday evening last , between seven and eight o ' clock , a person , whom he believed to be the prisoner , came to the shop and examined a pistol which was hung up for sale . The first pistol he examined he drew the trigger without tlie cap being on , and so injured it that the witness charged hiin 2 s . for the injury , and the prisoner bought another for as . The pistol he had sold was a new one , and similar to thc one produced , but he could not take it upon himself to swear that the pistol produced was the same .

      Mr . John Marne , a gun-maker m the Walworth-road _, deposed that on Saturday evening a person , similarly attir . d to the prisoner , called at his shop , and first asked for a bullet-mould to lit a pistol he produced . Ilo guaged the pistol and found it corresponded exactly with the pistol produced . The prisoner ultimately purchased a quarter of a pound of halls similar to these produced , and then left the shop . The pistol then produced corresponded in every respect with the one now _produced , but he , witness , would uot take upon hiui to sweav tliat the prisoner was tho man .

      The witness then fitted the bullet which had inflicted the fatal wound to the pistol , and said the bait was one of the same description as those whivh he hud sold . Mr . Wm . Papham , & surgeon , of Queen ' s-vow , Kennington-road , said that he was passing near the _Peacock public-house , when he heard u loud repent of a gun . or pistol shot , and immediately after saw a person run out of the oourt , and heard a man in a flannel jacket say , " The man is _Bhot . " He ( witness ) went into tho publichouse , _Trh « ru he found a mam lying on the table fp . st djing . He removed his jivekat and shirt , and found a wound under the blade bone of the left side near the seventh rib . IU also found a wound on the breast , and had no doubt that both had been caused by a gun-shot . He afterwards probed the wound In company with Mr . Smith , and th _« y were both of opinion that the b _* U had passed through the heart , nnd were perfectly _satisfind th » t the gun-shot hud bean the cause of death .

      Mr . Henry said the grand jury at the Central- _Ortminal Court was up , and therefor * it would ba impossibU for the prisoner to he tried at the present sessions , lie should , under the circumstances , remand ; the _ftfiscnec until Monday next , The prisoner , who seemed a good deal _affijetcd ,. iras removed from the bar .
