      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTIsT ASSOCIATION . F&tesDS , —I inserted a letter in the Northern Star in "Which J denied having received certain subscriptions laid te have been paid to me , and for which I was credited- I stated that I wonld not any longer be a party to Each proceedings , in consequence of » ome recent circumstances which had arisen ; and I therefore requested that everv person wonld cease to pay or receive any money on my aeeeant It mnst be perfectly evident to erery impartial mind that such a csnne was my right sa well as my duty . It appears , however , that Mr . James Xeach , of Manchester , considers Hie whole of my letter % e > tpply to him , -srhereas it alluded to at least six or eight indifidnalB , trbooe names irere sot mentioned ,

      beeaoea I coneeira that whilst a m&n ' s political character lie * between the people and himself , bia business character rests with bis creditors . Neither the circumstance of a defalcation of money , nor the names of individuals , would have been mentioned by bib , aad it not been necessary and unavoidable when the question in-ToVred the appropriation of public and not private land * . If tire mention of facts which ought never to have been concealed can be construed into " a base attack ;" snd if any man chooses to fit the cap on bis own bead , it is bis fault , noV mine . Mr . Leach has appealed to the Manchester Council ; and I have been called upon to appear tfcere . I certainly approve of the Council doing so ; and I Bhall as certainly answer any question they put to me , seeing it la the demand of Mr . -Dsscb

      which renders the ordeal necessary . So far the xn&tter rests at present , with the exception of some remarks in Mr . Lsaco ' 8 letter , which I cannot allow to be lecordea" in the Star without a reply . Mr . Leach places my statement that I onlv received eight pounds against a receipt for eighteen ponnds , thereby endeavouring to leave an impression on the mind of the reader that be did actually pay me £ 18 . Bat Mr . Lsach does not . be dare net , declare that he in reality paid me £ 18 of the subscription received for me ; because the fact is as I have stated , and as can be easily proved by bia own letters , which he aeems t » have in bis haste overlookedi—viz . " . tfait the only fact with wbich . I am acqiainted is that of receiving the sum of eight pounds from Mr . Leach , the treasurer . " Some persons

      may naturally enquire the reason of my giving him a receipt for £ 18 , and only receiving £ 8- I did so after freqaent conversations with Doyle , Clark , and Leach himself . I did it to save the character of the very man who would now make the act of friendship I was guilty of a "sseapon "where"witii to atlield bimself and cast a donbt npon my word . I envy nofc . tbe disposition ef any man who could so fax forget himself ; and the attempt is of that character to need no comment from me . 1 attributed the want of money to Leach ' s misfortunes ; but I-never had such a powerful reason as I have bad now offered me of altering that opinion . ill . Leach states Uiat I was so satisfied with the information given me whilst in Manchester

      concerning the fund , that I gr&uted him a recceipt in full . In reply I tffinn that I never saw the committee ; that no accounts were ever piodnced ; and that Mr . Leach himself said that the sam was about £ 18 , bat bs produced no book , paper , or document whatever ^ Tbosejnusi now be forthcoming ; and Mr . Leach may then di > corer that a Council will not be so easily satisned as I was . It perhaps w » uld have been better that I had been easily s-itisfisd , because it wonld have prevented a second investigation and correspondence . At all event * , bad private requests been attended to , and constant spplicxaoi : met with prompt payment , Uvne persona to Whom I have alluded as defaulters might have pre-Ys £ tbd my letter , in irhicb if there is any fault it -is the fault of coming loo late .

      I adhere to the iacts . stated , and am perfectly prepared to prove them ; and in doing ao I shall not consult the convenience or temper of any man . I will sot agree that money shall be put down as received by me which never was was paid ; n » r will I be a jferty to shield any man who withholds it , more especially when it iswell known that to overlook the first f&nltis simply to encourage the second . I shall be at the order of the Manchester council after my Scottish engagements . Friends , I am yonrsrespectfnlly , P . M- M-Dowali-

      *< o : n spaln . ( From ths MomiTig Chronicle of Thursday , November ' 21 . ) We were enabled by Extraordinary Express to publish , exclusively , the following intelligence yesterday afternoon : — . "We have received acconnts fromJYicioria of the night of the 13 : h instant , by which we learn that on the previous day a sejions insurrection broke out * t Logrono , in the province of Old Castile , at the nead oT which the celebrated . Martin Zarbano has Placed himself . Tdb 12 th was General Zarh&no ' s

      jour de fete , and he celpbrated it by proclaiming *' the Constitution of 1837—pur el net" ( or , as was * oe cry in England during the excitement of the Beform Bill—" the bill , the whole bill , and nothing bu : the bill" ) . To the cry of " Yiva la Constitucion de 1837 , " was added *• Viva Isabella II ., and death to the tyrants . " Zorbano was at the head of 400 * aeu , and was honrljr gaining more followers . He Juarclied from Logrono to TJajara , a town of 7 , 000 * aaiblt&Bts , where he met with no opposition , and * as directing his steps towards JBor / jos . The part of iae coQDtry where ihis insurrection has broken oathas been the focus of several insurrections , both XiiOeral and Carlist . In the neighbouring towns of

      —¦—Ceriirao , Azo . and Burgos there are thousands who are disaffected to the present Government , and only ¦ wait for aa opportunity of rising . V /© have it from the best amhority that this risinp . is not an isolated or solitary act ; it has ra miflcations throughout the country , and from the information we have received , we have every reason to believe that ^ befoTe f ' jrty-eight hours pa . ? s , we shall hear of pronnnciamentos in several other places . ThV kingdom of Old Castile , as well [ as the neighbouring provinces , is described as beir . g in a state of the greatest excitement . " Ody acconnts from Madrid ate oT the evening of the 13 th , at which time the capital was quiet The Cortes was proceeding rabidly with the olausre of the new constitution , every amendment , moved bj thelOpposition beingrejected bv largemajorities . "

      Strange but true , though the . abeve most importance intelligence appeared ia the afternoon edition of rVednesfiaj ' a Chronicle no Eotiee whatever was taken of the matter by the Times of Thursday . Still there is indirect confirmation of the troth of the above , contained in the letter of the Times correspondent wriUBg frozn'Msdrid , November 12 th . He

      says : — It is pleasing to turn from the fierce strife of politicians , the plotting of low intriguers for place , the snbdaed thoaga horrid signs of ill-coBOealed oonspirftfiy , the shootings of Barcelona , the martiftl law of Lerida , the bloody baudos of Cadii , and the terrible threats of Granada , to the calm and placid joys and refined amusements of the Court . At the palace of the Queen , conct > ris ; at that oJ the Minister , balls . * R ero fiddled Jwhile Borne was burning ;' and it was not unlikely that in the midst of the banquets , balls , concerts , plays , serenades , and suppers , some terrible event may awaken to a dreadfui consciousness ef their danger those who are now slnmberinein fancied security .

      "Evenas it is , some va ^ ue rumours& * egoin < 5 about this evening of aa outbreak in the Kioja , and the expulsion of a battalion from Logrono which left this for that town a few weeks ago . I give this only as a rnmour . If there be any foundation for it , you will have received the news long before this letter shall have reached you . " In the same letter we find some additional particulars concerning the unfortunate Antonio San Jusi , murdered at Barcelona , and a defence of whom will be found in another column from the pen of one ot the lieroio refugees now residing in this country . In reading the following , our readers will bear in miad that it is penned by aa Ann-Repub * lican com spondent of she great organ of Toxyibit : —

      " The Barcelona papers announce the shooting on the 5 : h instant , on the glacis of the citadel , of a young man named Antonio San Just ; he having been found guilty before a court-martial of having caused two of the inhabitants of Sarria , a small village about two miles from Barcelona , to be shot during the Ceniralisla pronouncement in September l&st year . I happened to be present at Sarria-on the day when the two individuals in qneation were put to death . The unhappy victimB had been violent partisans , and belonged to the Moderate p&r ; y , asd they were amongst a number of prisoners taken in a sortie , made by a parry of the Paiulea from Barcelona , then closulj blockaded , and commanded by 'the unfortunate young man who had been just

      put to death . No one certainly can justify the act of bloodshed perpetrated on that day by San Jusi . But it mnst be said , on the other hand , that however inexcusable his conduct was , and however in human , San Ju « t was , one of those included in the capitulation of Barcelona , signed by Geoer&i SaijZ . then Captain-General , and for thai act , as well as erery other committed by the Centralisvas , as such , during the time they held the city against the Queen ' s troops , it wa ^ expressly dec ? ared in the articles of the capitulation that no one should ever be mad ? accountable . San Just and the others ine ' . m d

      in the eonvrneion were allowed passport to go where they pleased , either to the interior of the Peninsula or to a foreign conn try . I was also in Pcrpignafl when he and his companions arrived there , with the usual passports . To have shot him then , however sanguinary his conduct may have been as a partisan chief , after having capitulated , was a clear violation of the treaty alluded to . He might have been punished for having returned to Catalonia ( from which province , by the way , he was only excluded ) \ vithoui the necessary permission , bnt to shoot him for what had already been satisfied for by a conditional surrender was decidedly unjust .

      M ; San Just was a young man about twenty-one or twenty-two years oid , of extraordinary and even ferocions bravery , and >> sd h&en s > Lieutenant in the proTinci&l battalion o : Zimora .

      We find the following in the Times of Thursday : — Stasish Retcgies iv Gibraltar . —The following ia an extract from a private letter from Gibraltar , dated November 10 : — " * I am just informed , on good authority , that yesterday nine individuals were at a moment ' s notice obliged by the authorities to quit Cadiz withont the assignment of any cause for such summary ejectment . They arrived here this morning by the Royal Tar . It was their intention to have proceeded to Marseilles by the first steamer , bnt the news received from England thiB morning pnt them upon their guard , and will probably induce them to change their designation . Four companies of a Spanish regiment arrived this morning ai Algebras from Cadiz . The whole country is in a ferment , and events of great importance are on the eve of taking place . "

      Dreadful Collieht Accident . —An accident of a fatal nature occurred at D&lziel Colliery , near ¦ Hamilton , belonging to the Messrs . Wilson , on Saturday last . Three brothers , of the name of Laird , were ascending from their work , when , owing to some mismanagement on the part of the engineman , ths cage was drawn np to the hurls , and one of the brothers , named George , was dreadfully mangled , an . d died in a few minutes ; another had his hand sp ? it np , and the third his leg broken ; another man , named Philip , was also is the cage , but when he came on a level with the surfaco , seeing the danger he was in , he ran the risk of jnmping off , aBd was caught by some one on the pit-iead , winch prevented his falling down the shaft . The sitnation of the sufferers' parents , on finding themselves in an instant almost . deprived of their children , was lamentable . The engine-man has since been apprehended , bnt bailed out . —Glasgow Journal .

      DEsraccnvE Fihe . —Lzith . —Snnday afternoon , just as the afternoon service had begun , the extensive steam mills in Broad Wynd , belonging to Mr . Robert MeLZ'es . were discovered to be on fire . The firemen and other officials were quickly collected from the various « hnrche 3 in the town , and the Leith engines were speedily at work , but from the quantity of fLur in the various lofts and the great amount of wood work composing and protecting the machinery , the flames spread from window to window , and from story to story , till the whole of the south

      part of the extensive building east of the baths presented one blaze of flame . Soon after this the roof fell in wish a dreadful crash , carrying with it two of the fl » orF , the debris resting on the third floor from the top . This part of the building , consisting of flour mills , floor and grain lofts , was now at the mercj of the flames ; and it was now the chief object of the fire brigade to confine , if possible , the fire to the scene of destruction ; for immediately adjoining are vast store granaries , in which were large supplies of wheat .

      DlSTBESSIXG OCCUBREJi'CS . —iSlJTE LlVES LOST . — On Thursday , the 7 ih instant , a boat belongiD ^ to the Island of Eday left Kirkwall for home , about three o ' clock , p . m ., with nine persona on board , via _ , three brothers , named G&rriocb ; two brothers and a sister , named Tulloch ; a young man , John Fothering >> am ; a girl , named Elizabeth Garroch ; -and a gill named Hercna , all belonging to the same Island . It is thought that , finding the Stornsay Firth rough , lhe boat may have retnrned , and that she ¦ was upset in Kirkwall Bay , or sear the mouth of the Siring , off Shapinshay , as the boat was fopnd nrzt morning near Saveri > ck , driven ashore , with ' . he body of one of the stffjrers in it . The three Gamochs were the principal support of . a -feeble father and mother .

      Fatal Railwat Accident . —On Wednesday night an inquest was taken before Mr . Payne , at Guy ' s Hospital , on view of the body of W . Thos . Holhdge , aged twelve years , in the employment of Mr . Pnillipps , farmer , Norwood , who was rnn over by a steam-engine , the property of the London and Dover Railway Company . Deceased , it was stated , was going to Penge , to his work , and that he was in the habit of walking between the rails . The driver of a steam-engine iwhich had a white light in front ) and which was going at a rate of from ten to twelve miles an hour , said he did not see deceased , nor was be aware of the accident until about eleven o ' clock . Deceased had a vtry extensive fracture of the skull and other injuries . Ho died the same even * ing . Verdict—** Thai the deceased died from a fracture of the skull , but how that was occasioned there was no evidence .

      Attewt to introduce the New Poor Law ikto ths Parish of WorsbroV- The place-hunters of this parish have held counsel together for the purpose of getting the hell-born , wage-reducing , separation and starvation law introduced here ; but from the vigilance of the well-trained soldiers of the Northern Star , have been happily frustrated in their nefarious design . On Tuesday last the owners oF cottage property , than whom no greater slaves ever hugged a chain , met in vestry to do the bidding of

      those above them , which was to pay the poor rate , instead of the ocenpier , that the poor man from whom opposition was expected , might be disfranchised . The intentions of the ail-devourin / r , crew got to th » ears of the rata-payera , who attended in their strengthen the above occasion , and completely floored them , by adjonrning thfl question for twelve months . Tne inhabitants of Wprsbro' Common have secured all the late acts of Parliament relating to parLh affairs , by which they havt learned their daty and are determined to perform it .

      Edinburgh—At a meeting held on Tuesday eveniiu , in the Richmond Court Cbapel , which was well filled by a respectable audience , the following resolutions were adopted : —**' That this meting havt learned with regret that Dr . Handysvde of this town , gave evidence nDon oath , before the Poor Law Commissioners , that 3 s or 3 6 d is sufficient to maintain a man , his wife , arid four children for a week , and la a single man for the same period , only allowine 6 d for food . We hereby protest against suoh evidence , as being unfounded in fact and mischicvr us iu practice . " " That this mep , ting condemns all

      such evidence as unjust , and mvended to mislead the CommKSJoners and influence the Government , in framing a Poor Law for Scotland—moBt injurious toward the labouring poor , ' oy furnishing a pretext for depriving them of their r . atural right to a proper maintenance , and screwing down iha legal provision xoamost wretched pitta ' jce , and ihus condemning the unfortunate poor to a system of protracted starvation . " That the conclusion to which the Commission has come , in recommending that no legal enactment be made for the provision of the healthy bat unemployed poor , furnishes a lamentable proof of the pernicious ten dency of such evidence .

      Emigration to xns Tropics . —On Sunday last * the society held itf , usual meeting at the Parthenium , 72 , St .. Martin ' s-laoe . Letiera were read from Bradford , Ncwcastle . © n-Tyne , and other place ? , stating that branches of the society were formed in their Beveral towns . After a very interesting leoture had beon delivered by a lady , the following resolution was carried but with four dissentients : "A member of this society shall have but one vote , let him or her have any number of shares . " This reso-Intion crushes in the bud any attempt to ereot a moneyocr&cy in oar new Republic . Most of the member * have felt the evils of class legislation , the few governing the many ; and , they are determined that , all shall start upon a perfect equality in oar new home of independence . They feel tausfi . d that a people once feeling the blessing of independence and liberty will not suffer themselves to be cajoled into dependence upon the capitalist or aristocrat .

      Public meeting of thb members op the Brit ish Emigrants AIutdal Aid Sucikty . —A meeting of this body was held at ^ the Hope coffee-house . Far ringdon-street , City , on Tuesday evening , Nov . 19 th . Mr . Bateman , a thorough democrat , was unanimously called to the chair , and opeued the meeting wi'h a few brief and pointed remarks on the business before them , observing that he was not there to make a long speech . He hoped the meeting would pay all attention to the various speakers , and he would therefore call on Mr . Williams to address them . Mr . W . commenced by observing that it was with very great diffidence he appeared before the meeting to address them upon that , of which , up to a very short time , he was a most

      streBUOus opponent ; he meant emigration . But the emigration to which he was opposed was individual emigration , without means to fall back on ; and which , in nine cases out of ten , invariably left the individual in a worse position than if he had remained at home . He was also opposed to the system of transporting large numbers of the labouring classes into the cities and towns of America , under the specious pretext of gettifig more wages foi their labour ; bnt which had had the painful effect of overstocking the labour market of America , and driving the poor plundered dupes to beggary and starvation , as well as reducing the native mechanic and labourer to the fame state . But perhaps even this had had a good effect ; for it

      has driven the Americans to turn their attention to the land . But having told of what he was opposed , he would tell of what ho approved . He approved of collective emigration , for the purpose of purchasing land for individual benefit and mutual assistance . Thus , the parcy emigrating had the privilege of working at his occupation , * and bad the laud to fall back upon if unemployed . Tenacresot land might be taken up in this society for £ 3 3 $ . 9 d . ; and the cest of provision and passage to burlin ^ ton , in Iowa , was £ 5 for each adult , and £ 2 10 s . for children : thus they would obtain , for something less than the cost of one acre of land in this country , ten acres of land with a freehold right , of which none could dispossess them ! In fact , the society was

      formed on the plan of the philanthropist , Lawrence fitk ^ ihly , of Huddertfield , as published by him in the Northern Star , and was a practical carrying out of the plan of Feargus O'Connor , E # q . —the obtaiument of the land as a means of bettering the condition of the people , and the removal of the surplus labour from the labour market . The members of the society would leave England for America on the first of February , 1845 ; snd any communications addressed to the society , J . Williams , 2 , Sewellstreet . Park-street , XehniDgton , would be attended to . The speaker , after strongly recommending Mr . O'Connor's work upon small farms , sat down much applauded . It was then moved by Mr . Langwith seconded by Mr . Lorward , and carried unanimously ,

      - That the best thanks of the meeting are due aud are hereby given to Feargus O'Connor , E > q ., for his unflinching advocacy of the people ' s rights ; and to the Editor of the Northern Mar for his uniform conduct in publishing the people ' s meetings . " The speaker observed he was a supporter of the Star , aud would remain so in whatever country he might be . A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman , the meeting broke up highly satisfied . AFFRAT WITH PiRATJSS ON THE WeST COAST OF ApriCa—LoiiS oP LiPiJ . —We have been favoured with a perusal of a very interesting letter from her Majesty ' s brig Alert , 6 , Commander Bosauquet . from which we have made the following extracts : — " information having beta given by the master of too

      Courier , merchant brig , that a party of her crew , as also of the Margaret , merchant barque , having landed on the island of Auguin , near Cape Blanco , lat . 20 -47 N ., long . 17 2 W ., Western Coast of Africa , for guano—which had been represented as beinc very plentiful there—had been savagely murdered by the natives ( a tribe of Arabs ) on that part of the coast , their boats taken away , and that three of the crew were still remaining on the island , severely wounded , her Majesty's brig Alert was ordered up from the Galinus , to make the necesary inquiries concerning tho fate ot iho three men . Sne arrived off Cape Bianco on the 7 th of September , and proceedkd upwards of fifty miles within the shoals ; but from the shallowness of the water ftnd

      the intricacy of the passage—it having never been surveyed , and there oftentimes being no more than thirteen feet of water , the brig drawing twelve feet and a-half , she could not get nearer than Cape Salinas . Having reached this point , the pinnace and two gigs , manned and armed , with Captain Bosanquet , Lieuteuaut R . B . Creyke , Mr . Wilkes , surgeon , Messrs . Parker , purser , aud ( Jooke , and about thirty men , started on the endeavour to find out the settlement ; but from the place being so imperfectly known , after exploring every little bay alongside , and Bounding all round , they returned the ntxt morning without success . The following morning the boats again left the ship , manned and . armed as before , and after pulling in another direction for

      five or six hours , in the heat of the day ( themr . 105 in the shades ) , when suddenly rounding a headland , came in si ^ ht of the island of Anguin , and observed the island laterally covered with armed iren , with six large boats , three apparently English , on the sands near the town , in a strong position , under an old French fort—the island having formerly been iu the hands of the French . Our boais pulled within a few yards of the beach , but , having heard of vhe treachery of these people , it was deemed prudent , for the present , not to land ; all this time the natives used every artifice in iheir power to induce the boats to come on shore . At last , Mr . Parker , in the first gig , was ordered in shore , under cover of the marines in tho pinnace , and had a

      conference with the chief , who stated that the three men in question had died of their wounds , but he could get no further information . The next thing to be doue was to get possession of the merchantmen ' s boats taken by the natives , as before stated . About nine o ' clock in the evening , a murmuring noise being heard on shore in the direction ot the boats , supposed to be the hauling them higher on the sand , wu immediately weighed our grapnel and pulled in , just keeping afloat . Sergeant S * rues , of the Marines , was ordered to fire a musket , to intimidate the natives , bin he had no sooner donefso than they gave a most terrific yell , ran down to the edge of the water in a mass , and commenced a very heavy and welldirected fire of musketry on our boats . The firing

      was returned pretty warmly by our gallant Mariiies and smill-arms party , but owing to tho night being more ihan ordinarily dark , we could only judge o ! tke position of the natives by the flashes of their muskets ; our party was a better maik for them , the ripple on the water , and the white jackets and accoutrements of the Marines , making the objects more conspicuous , and enabling them to take deadly aim . Iu a few minutes , in the pinnace , one of the Marines was killed , and five wounded . It being then too dark to land , and not kuowing the strength of tha pirates , which , at least , must have been upwards of one hundred , and -well-armed , we hauled offv to renew the attack with more advantage in the morning . At daylight , on landing , we found that during the night this haunt of pirates had been abandoned , and not the least vestige of the peopl « , boats , Lo . could be seen , with the exception of two gun-, one of which—a very

      and it was discovered that a Btack of barley , the produce of nineteen acres , almost in contact with the back of the barn , was in fl < mes . Kemp stated that whilst he was thrashing , he he&Yd » crackling noise , of which he at first took no notice , but after two or three minutes , as it continued , he looked through a crack in the barn , and caw the flames . Assistance being immediately rendered , and a . train of people formed to convey water from the river , a distance of two hundred yards , the buildings and otner property to a very large amount were preserved , bnt the stack was almost entirely destroyed , —Bury Post .

      Piracy off Gibraltar . —The following is an extract of a private letter received yesterday in the City from Gibraltar : — " A gross act of piracy , accompanied with violence , took place at Gibraltar on the night of tho 5 th inst . The crew of the Sardinian polacca brig Sao . Michele had all retired to rest , contrary to the regulations of the port , which requires evsry vessel to have at least one look out on watch during the night . At eleven o ' clock they were awoke by the battening down of the hatches , and shortly afterwards four men , with their faces blackened , went down into the cabin , armed with

      knives , aifd eezod the captain , after some resistance , during which the captain was wounded . Having bound him , they proceeded to ransack the ship , and took away a quantity of valuable property , including their watches , some coral , and bale goods . It bail been intended by tho consignees of the vessel to have shipped 3 , 000 dole , in the San Michele , for the coast of Barbary , but , owing to some unimportant cause or other , it was delayed until the following day , and thus was saved from the hands of these plunderers . After stopping on board four hours , they left , carrying away the above property with them .

      Murder at Great Yarmouth . —One of the most brutal and unprovoked sacrifices of human life which'it has ever fallen to the task of public journalists to record , took place yesterday at Yarmouth , in the county of Norfolk , under the following circumstances : —The deceased , named Harriet Candler , was a widow woman , very quiet and respectable , was a member of the Wesleyan bociBty , and managed a kind of chandlery shop , selling flour , oatmeal , pollard , &c . The night policeman on duly found her street - door partially open ; he called to her , but receiving no answer , proceeded to examine the till , suspecting some robbery had been committed . Lying dowa by the side of the till , with her head forced under the counter , he found the deceased , deluged in her own blood . Her skull had no less than rive wounds inflicted upon it ; one of them on the left side so severe as to throw the upper portion of the bone so as to overlap another

      broken part of the skull . Ou the right side of the neck a wouud had' been inflicted sufficiently severe to sever a portion of the vertebiae of the neck , and one of her fingers was cut off , probably whilst uplifted ia defence . The following is the probable history , as gathered from tbe evidence at the coroner ' s inquest ( proceeding when thiB report left ) . Deceased lived quito a , lone in the house , and weut to a public-house opposite , to purchase her supper beer , leaviog the street door eloaed , but uulocked , ¦ while she was gone . During an absence of ten minutes , the murderer or murderers ( probably two ) secreted themselves in a bin where peas or bran was kept . The deceased sat for a time reading » religious work , and drank a portion ef the porter ; Bhe them went into the shop to take the money out ot the till , when she was felled to the ground by the murderer ' s hammer . The first blow rendered her insensible ; the remainder were given lest the " in-

      tent and not the deed" should confound them . A kmfe covered with biood lay by the side of the deceased , but the surgeon was of opinion that the wound in the neok was inflicted with the cheesecutter ( a kind of short axe ) which cintainsd a portion of blood upon it . Last Saturday deceased had taken a division of property , ! amounting to £ 150 , left by her husband ' s motherland ancle . Saveral of her relatives live in Yarmouth and the neighbourhood , and received similar sums ; it became common talk amongst them , ! and deceased waa incautious enough to say that , as the £ 150 was for her son , she should put it under her bed until she could hear from his trustee , aa she expected a much larger sum . This got noised abroad , and parties

      doubtless sedulously watched her movements on the night in question , in order to plunder her , and as they were recognised and known by her , to mnrder her rather than be detected . The £ 150 was taken witbeut disturbiatf the bed ; £ 100 was in a cheok on Messrs . Gurney and Co . 's bank . During the inquest a , portion of money , consisting of gold , silver , and about £ 8 or £ 10 in coppers , I were found near the Battery , in a bag which was ] taken from the deceased's premises the night of the murder—the contents of the till , doubtless . It had , wrapped up in it , a man ' s purse , containing a token , enveloped in four papers , and written upon ^ in a , man's writing , " The Lord said unto my Lord ^ Sitthou on my righ t band , until I make thy enemies my footstool . " No

      clue has at present been found . A reward will , we believe , be offered ; but at this moment no tidings of any noise in the next house , ! or anything likely to lead to the detection has been discovered . There were several places where the murderer had wiped his hands upon , and the till wad found thrown up in one comer of the shop empty .--Yarmouth Chronicle Wigan . —Fatal Explosion ! in a Coal Pit . — On Monday afternoon , about half-past one o ' clock , a . most extraordinary eruption of water and foul air . followed by an explosion , occurred in the coalpit belonging to tho trustees of Mrs .
