      HOSHIBLK MCHDEB , AKD ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE 5 T the Mcbdereh . —Salford , Mojtdat . —Great CBBSternaiioB was excited iere this morning by the circulation of a report that a barbarous murder had been committed last night toi the person of a young woman , in a lonely part of the town , named Shaw ' sbrow , and that the murderer had afterwards attempted to commit suicide by cutting his own throat . The facts of the case -appear to be as follow : —A man named Thos . Slew , an excavator , about twenty-fiTe years of age , had been for some time paying his addresses to the unfortunate victim , Alice Nolan , a xespectable yonng female , who was employed in a factory , and whose age was about 22 . They had kept company for the last few

      month ? , and Sfcw had repeatedly pressed her to marry Mm , but , as it would appear , without gaming her consent . They were together on Satarday evenffig last , wben the subject was renewed , and , from something which then fell from her , it appears he thought himself warranted in having the banns of marriage between them published at Stephen ' s church , Sallbrd , on the following day . They met again that morning , at the honse of a mutual acquaintance , in Cooke-street . Be told her that he had " pat in the asking ? , * a ? it is called , but she then repudiated it altogether , and positively refused to marry him- This ied to a quarrel , bnt they nevertheless remained together at the honss in Cooke-street nearly all day . Towards evening .

      he grew calm , and assumed the appearance' of being reconciled to her . About seven o'clock , a circumstance occurred , which clearly shows that he was then premeditating the deed of blood . He made an excuse for leaviLg her & sbor : time , and then went to a beerhouse in the sac : e street , where he a-ked » o borrow & razor and soapbox , for the purpose of shaving himself . The articles were lent to hid ; he rejoined the unfortunate female , and they remained together in the house till near dusk . Be then proposed that they should lake a walk , to which she assented , and they ¦ we ni out together , apparently on very good terms with each other , and proceeded in the direction of Shaw ' s-brew . This locaHty , though neatly in the

      centre of the town of Salford , is comparatively unfrequented ; it conskis of severe ! acres c-f unoccupied ground , and , though surrounded by houses-oh all sides , being very holly , it is considerably elevated above xhem , and quite out of the way of general observation . Here the wxcich appears to have completed his diabolical deiign . Tcere were-of course , DO witnesses of ite act ; but he seems * . o have led her to a retired part of the ground , snuare behind Arlington-street , and there to nave plunged ihe razor in her throat , aud inflicted a deep and fatal wound , which separated ihe windpipe and the jugular vein on the right side , and a number of arteries . It does not appear that the poor creature was able to give any alarm ; but something like a struggle was

      seen by a buy , who was standing near to the back door of fhe houses in Arlington-street , and through his information the attention of the neighbours was drawn to the spot , but too late to render any assistance . . The giri was found extended on the ground , surrounded by a pool of blood ; and the murderer had Jbd . Bar body , which presented a pitiable spect&de , her throat being cut almost from ear te ear , was immediate ! / conveyed to ihe Rob Roj publichouse , in Arlington street , where it was a ; once discovered thai the murderer had bnt too fully succeeded in his diabolical purpose . It is natural to suppose that he fled from the spot instantl y ^ and it appears he took the direction oi the house in l ; ookestreet , where he had passed the day with his

      uniorinnare viciim . The murder is supposed to have been committed about ten o'clock j for shortly after he was in Cooke-street , and as he passed along the entry or court in which thehituse is siiuatf , he was heard to - call out * I ' ve do&e h ; a d if 1 havn ' t I ' His Toice was known to the inmates , and on hearing it they went our ; but before they could get to him , he bad cut hii own throat with the same razor . He presented a mosi frightful spectacle as he lay on the ground , with his face , hancs , and clothes covered with blood . Be was stiii alive , and the assistance of the police being procured , he was removed to the Manchester Infirmary , where his wound was duly attended to , and , though it is a severe one , there is a possibility of his beiug restored , and brought to an aeeonnt in this -world for ihe horrible crime he has ccnunhted . Tbs murderer is a satire of Usctwich , in Cheshire ; bui be has been in Manchester soEe time * He was last employed as an excavator in the

      consmicnoB of some of the public sewers in Salford . Since tee cirenmstances of his atrocious barbarity have become known , some facts have come : o ii ^ fit which threaten to implicate the murderer in anoiner eqaall > Lorrible tragedy . At or bcrore the com-2 Btiiceja £ ni of ha in ; imacy wiih Alice 2 ioi&n , setms he courted the eanghter of an old mac iu S :. George ' s road , named Gr ^ gson ; and this Jennie , about six months : i £ O , disappeared in a most mjaierlrus manner , and haj cot since been bcaru of . Tsere was nothing to sufficiently implicate him at the time , but sirorg suspicions are no a- < -m-mained thai he hss be ^ n privy cu ht-r late , and it is xccollected by her father that he has avoiccd opportuni-& 3 of explanation , s . nd once or twice , on beine questioned abou ? it , has threatened oraunap : ed to hsmj himself . The police are making diHigem inquirr into the circumstances , &nd a f « w days wjii probably serre to siiow cow far these -suspicious art "well fooade-d .

      Tosdat Mobsc » g . —An itquest on the remains of the unforuinaie woman was held before W . S . Ruiter , JErq ., coroner for the Saiford handred , at tin Sob Bvy public boose , where ihe body lay . The principal of the faets above narrated wvre deposed to . Mr . Cre-gaton , sargeon proved that deata hrd Tesulied from the wonnd in tie throat , which ccalc not have been iuSicted by the deceased herself . Tne wound was egfc ; inches long . The boy who saw the struggle was no : produced ^ but it appears the poor creature , after ihe murderer had left her , ha'i walked , or ratker crawled , abons fifty yards fresn the spot where she received her deeih wound , and had at lensrb fallen down in Arlington-street , the blood streaming from her wound all lbs time , where she expired in a few minuves . Sarah Shepherd , the

      ¦ woman who keeps the bouse in Cooke-srreet , where the deceased and her murderer had spent the day oe Sunday , wa 3 examined at considerable length , bat little could be elicited from her as to the qaaixel about the publication of the banns . She admit tec that deceased bad found faul : about it . Tqc razor which -S ; ew had borrowed from the beerhouse cas Ja 3 d near him afrer he had cat his own throat . A ' , tea o'clock , the inqaesc wss adjourned till Thursday * by which time it is supposed the surgeons wrll ba able to pronounce whetr . e-r the murderer i ? out of danger . Tne answer to inquiries ai the infirm ary this morninj ; is , that he is no worse . It was feared tha : he wonid endanger himself still further by ob-Kinacy in refusing medical assistance , bat this dce = no ; npptu to be the ease .

      wedxesdat MoBM . Sc . — Since the adjournment of the inquest , inxtcsr light has been thrown on the aiiair , by a mm named Thomas TJiley , who has come forward 10 scale that he saw the murder conimitt « d , though he was uuconscious at the time thai any ihing of ths kind had taken plaee . Be states , tuat he was stsndmg on Shaw ' s Brow about the time in question , when he observed a man and a ¦ woman conversing together in Brigg " s- » treet , and heard the xnan say , ** Alice , wilt thou be married ? r 3 *• ^ a . " she replied , » ' not yet . " " Thon won ' i 1 " be sale ; to which he again answered " Ko . " After tiu =, Uxlej states thai he saw the man pull his right hand 0 ^ : of his p > eket , and pass his arm round the fsaiiie '; n ; ck , as he ( Uxley ) thonghfr , to give her a ki-5 , when he heard her exclaim , " My God , Tom I " imnisdiaiely after which she placed her hand to her neck and walked down the Brow towards Rockliff ; .-Greet , and ihe man turned and went away . TJxlty

      alsa st 2 ' . t 5 , that he passed the man , and said to him , to Wh& : ' := to do , lad V or something to that effect , 10 which he answered " Nothing , " and went 03 . The spot where the murder was committed is 2 ,-bjui 100 yards frua ihe pla-23 where the deceased was first seen by : he yonng woman ±$ ar ! ow , and about 500 or 250 jards from the deceased's lodging , in Gannonstrtet . Her clothes , on one ade , were completely saturated ^ iih blood , and blood was traced on the ground for a considerable . part of the disance which she walked after the scene described by Uxley . In answer to inquiries made last night , at the liifirmary , it was stated thai the man remained much in the came state , and thai there were very slight grounds indeed for supposing that he would recover . With respect to the nauire of the wound , we may state that , in addition to his windpipe being divided , his guiles is cat . He takes -wiia ^ erer support is administered io him .

She refused to do so , and after mounting the cart began to whip the horse in a fnriouB manner . The husband seized the head of rthe animal , and , after using the most horrible Ian-: gnage , said he wished she might break her b y

      neck before she got off the Forest . The woman , anmindful of the the threats of her hnsband , lashed him with the whip , made him let go his hold of tho rein , and drove on . Several persons tried to stop her msd career , and one man hung on to the korse , and declared that he would not let h < T proceed further . A few heavy blows with the whip acrosa his arms soon compelled him to release his hold of the horse , and the infatuated woman , unmindful of the cart rut 3 and the uneven state of the roads , drove on at a tremendous pace ; but had not proceeded many yards before . she was thrown out of the cart ; and feil between the shaft and the wheel , and was killed in an instant . Her brutal husband ' s impiou ? wish was fulfilled , for her neck was dislocated , and

      she was aragged some distance before the cart was slopped , and her body mangled in a shocking manner . Police Sergeant Scott , No . 39 K , and the clerk of the division , who saw the whole occurrence , took the body out of the cart rut and laid it upon the green ; sward , and dispatched several policemen to Chi ^ well and o'her places for a surgeon . The husband of the deceased , who looked on with the greatest apathy , was requested by Scott to assist him in conveyiug the bleeding remains of bis wne to Chigwell , out he refused to do so , and exclaimed , ** Ir 5 ervt-3 her b—y well right . " His callousness exeired so much disgust among the gypsies and others on the forest , that they were about to take summary vengeance upon him , when Scott and hi *

      • men interposed aud escorted him off the forest , with i their staves drawn to protect him from the fuiy of ¦ the people . The woman was about thirty-seven years of age , and bad attended the fair , with her j hnsbaEQ , for the last twtn'y years . Btr body was , removed to Chigwell , where it now awaits & coro-( ner ' s inquest . I .

On arriving at ihe Bpoi , the Rev . Mr . Johnton commenced the usual service , a practice wnich is not in these ' iirounds permitted to be pagEed over ; but . the Rev .

      and , using terrible oaths and disgusting language , seized s number of shovels , and declared in violent language that no service should be read over the corpse , and thai they would split the head of any one xvho attempted it . The Rev . Mr .

      Loss op the Emigrant Shi p , the Sib George PaovosT . —The late arrivals from the westward bring over news of a shipwreck on the reef of rocks to the westward of Goberus . namely , that of Sir George Provost , a large ship , 600 tonB burthen , Captain Savage , master , from Newry , in Ireland , which , but for the moderate state of weather , might have terminated in a fearful loss of human life , the vessel being an emigrant jhip , and having with the crew upwards of 160 persons on board . The voyage from Ireland across the Atlantio was accomplished without any accident , and all went on favourably until the evening of the 31 at of May , when , on nearing the coast , eg Goberu 3 , it came on a thick fog , so much , jt is stated that it was impossible to discern any object beyond the distance of the vessel ' s length .

      Imprudently , the Captain , instead of bringing the ship to anchor for the night let the vessel continue her passage . The result was , at about nine o ' clock at night the ship struck , and ran completely on the reef of rocks , as before described . The ship was lightened , and attempts Were made to get her off , but she remained perfectly immoveable , and within four-aud-twenty hours afierwavda the vessel was a total wreck , a heavy bea . having parted her in halves , and her spars and materials were washed ashore . Of the emigrants 102 have been taken to Arichat , and are now under the charge of tho overseers of the poor . Many of the unhappy creatures have lost nearly the sum total of their worldly possessions , and jet , nuthwithstandinK their reverses , they appear to bear them with resignation .

NE Vessels Lost in the Ick . — By the eamo source of iutelligeuce , we have letters announcing ihe destruction of no less than nine vessels by tIiu ice ; amongst them was tbe Barque James Harris , belonging to Sou h Shields , Mr .

Tiie ship was crushed between two icebergs , aud the crew , in their confusion to leave the sinking vessel , forgot the carpenter , a native of Hamburgh , who afttrwards got upon the ice to gave himself , but the vtssel shortly sinking , the ice disappeared with it , and the unfortunate man was drowned The value of the vessel lost is about £ 7 , 000 . The remainder of the vessels were los * some distance from Moatreal . Th-ir names ar « not corractlv known .

      Accident by Firearms . —On Monday evening a frigiittul accident , troa ? the use of firearms , occurred to a lad , named William Haycock , aged fifteen years ; the son of a roaster baki r residing m Pomeroystreet , Old Kent-road . It appears that having procured a email pocket pistol , he had loaded it with swan shot , when not being able to fix tho percus sion cap he got a stone , and incautiously beeau to knock it on , when the pistol suddenly went tff , and the whole of its contents lodged in his thigh , lacerating his fl- ' ! = h in a frightful manner . He was convoyed to Guy ' s Hospital , whfire be was immediately attended to by Mesf-rs . Cocks and € allaway , the . Mirgeons , who extracted a considerable number of shot , but in consequence of the i-everc nature of the woend considerable doubts are entertained of hit recovery .

Fryett , pawnbroker , carrying on business at No . 16 , Whitechapel Road , immediately opposite the church , was in flames . The fire originated in the stores , amongst a valuable a ^ soitmcnt of pledge 3 .
