Freui her ] ie : iuriuus habits Sirs . Oau < H * r r . as generally known to be possessed oi money , and perhaps that knowledge was shared bjr the ¦ prisoner , who , as she sold grot try and tobacco , was , as well as hi £ -rrife , a frequent visitor iu hershup . Behind -her shop was a parlour , and thca a bedroom , which
opened oucg a yard , divided from the jard of lir . Catchpule liy alow wall , there bthig a higher outer wall , which ionned thelineof the atijtining ¦" row , "or street . This feeing ths situation of tue premises an . i of these persons , it seems that Mrs . Caudltr received r . parcel from Xonvich not Icn ^ before her nsurder , which contained a lar ^ e sum of mcuwv This fact was known to many persons , and to oue friend ^ ie stated bsr iuteution of jaung it over to some gcatlcman at Hectics . This design sV . e never lived to carry into tKccutiou , for the police , on going their rounds at two o ' clock , discovered thut her sireet > tloor was open , and behind the counter
they found the d-. ad bod ; of the poor old woman , crouched under tbe place wllure the till ought to have been . On ler head were several frightful weonds , which appeared tohave been inflicted by ¦ some instrument like a hummer , while her throHt was cut in a manner quite sufficient to cause death . Underneath her body was a half-ounce paper o ! tobacco , which indicated that Jhe murdortr had distracted her attention in all probability bv pretending to t j buy that article , and had given the first blow whilst she TVJS iutheact of serving him . A further search led to the discovers ofa candle on a tub , which appeared to have been " nipped" « ut by the fillers , and the till , which stood in a corner against the drawers . Ou the table was
the half fiuished supper of the deceased , and her bed presented Uie spjjearaisec as if -some one had sat down on the end gi it There being uo Immediate clue to the murderer , the police made a noise with their truncheons , but without eliVct , and it was not till the superintendent came and rang Mr . Catclipole ' s bell with great violence that any uotice was taken of them by any one in the louse or neighbourhood ; as soon , however , as the bell rang , Yarhatn put ins head out of the window of his bedroom , where his wife was lying sick , Ice . lies having been applied to her head on that night , and on inquiring what was ill : matter was informed , and asked to come down . He then called his master , and they both went down stairs , and learned all the police knew . In answer to several questions put to him by the police and Mr . Catchuole , Yarhatn , who had sat up for his master , and had let him
in at half past one o ' clock , stoutly insisted that he had jioi heard auy noise during the night , though the parti , tion between the passage which separated the shop and the room in which he sat was very thin indeed ; so much so , that his wife said she had heard a conversation between her husband and Jlrs . Candler on that very night about nine o ' clock , when he had gone to buy some rushlights . Though no suspicion alighted at Srs ' tou any particular individual , yet the observation ol all Yarmouth was ou the qui tice , and the anxiety of the town was slured by the wife and daughter of an old artilleryman named Dick , who was statiuneu at one of the batteries on the "Dsises , " a large sandy tract str « tching out to the sea and the mouth of the Yar Irom the town . It being lvdl kuown that thieves Wire in the habit of secreting stolen property in the sandhills which abound on this
piitib , the attention of 3 £ rs . and iliss Dick was keenly excited ou the day alter the murder , as they were going homewards , and they on their way noted a hill which had recently betu disturbed , and was approached and surrounded by the foot-prints of two men . On looking down Mrs . Dick saw a piece of stringiticking up through t-. e sand , and pulling- at it she discovered three basis , which on beins examined were found to contain -old , silver , and copper money to some little extent , and nodoubt formed part of the o ! d woman ' s money , for one of the bags bore an addressxo her , and was -, 1 ' terv . ards identified as one which had recently been dispatched to her , with canary seed , from Xvririch . While Mrs . Dick and her tbujiiitr were so engaged , Air . Dick , 31 r . Tooley ( tailler ) , a :: d a man named Uoyai came up . Without going more miuutdy iuto the circumstances of that interview , or
ih-jse which afterwards canie to thu kuonledgc of the authoiiri ' -s , it m * y suffice to state that they \ vere deemed ? uf . ; cient to warrant the arrest of Yarham and the man . Royal , together with two others named Mapcs and Hall . These parties were all brought uji frequently before the Mayor on the charge of murder , and the Dicks were most l » ruKliucnt witnesses , their testimony going to identify the ioor-priuts on the sands with two of them . Eventually the four men wore all committtil for trial , and just LrtVrc tbe spring assizes for 1 « 5 it was announced that Yarhaia bad made a statement which implicated the other three men , and that he would be allowed to give evidence against them . This he accordingl y did , denying all p .-irtidjiaiion iu the offence , and stating in substance that he had by accident seen the three men come from
the-shop oa the night in question , and that Koyal had , in presence of the two others , admitted to him that he had tilled the old wuumn . After this he added that he wcut iuto the shop , saw the bod y , and then repaired to hisowu hunie , whete , after having admitted his master , he retired to bed . The efiect pioduce . l on the public and the Court by this statement was b y no means so unfavourable to the prisoners then on trial as it was to the witness himself . The ltnnv-r called several parties who proved olilisfjr thi-n , an ! they wire acquitted , while the latter was discharged and met on the hill by the taunts and hootings < sf an em-aged populsce , who pursued him to a publichouse , and so beset him that he was smuggled away au-i crossed the river secretly at night near the railway s-ation , whence on the following day he returned to Yarmouth in company with the Dicks and some other
\ i :: ctsses . His situation at Yarmouth was not more tr ^ e from public odium than at Xorwich . The police wtre frtijuently called out to protect him , and at last lie applied to ths i' « or Law guardians for funds to faciii'aie his departure from a seem- so oppressive to him . This aid he applied for on the 18 th of April , the trial having terminated on the 9 th , and on the 22 nd he recdved £ s . with which he departed . Iu about three Uui-tUs after this a communication was made to Captain Love , the superintendent of the borough police , to the efiVct fc . at Mrs . Dick was in the possession of a full . cjuftissionioadc by Yarham since the trial aud before Isis departure , aud the matter being inquired into , it . r .: is deemed proper to act on the communications of that ixfetin . Tkcn » ult was that Yarham was apprehended iu Glou . estv-j-shire . and fully committed to take his trial for the murder of the deceased .

Cross-examined : Yarham and his wife hadlired with me from June or July . He was recommended to me by a tradesman in Yarmouth , and I have always found him sti ictl y houest and industrious . I always thought him a very quiet man . I never saw him wi'Ji Mrs . Gandler . I came home at half-past one o ' clock , and the first noise I heard was the ringing of the bell . My house was examined several times . On the first time Yarham was taken up and . discharged ; I to-jkhim in my service again , until he was apprehended a second time .

buUdiii £ s . They abut on one end of the South Marketroad . I weut aleug the road to South Market-road . I remember turning on my lamp to trim it . I was close to the Tu ' rucrs' Arms , and kept it turned on for fifty yards , I crossed the Toad leading from ihe Market-gates to the IVoas . Theru were carts standing at the corner that obsa-ucted mj view down the street . I then went down tlie Market-gates , when I met a person who I have no -doubt was the prisoner at the bar . He was going towards the Denes . I know Mr . Harvey's premises . The direction that mun was going would lead to thatwaj . lie appeared to be dressed iu a coat with pockets in the hips . This was just before a quarter to one o ' clock .
Sarah Dick , the wife of John Dick , of the Town Battery : Ou the morning of Tuesday , November 19 , 1 S 44 , I went to get some linen . At half-past two I carried some linen to Mr . Shipley's , and on returning home Isaid to my daughter , who wus with me , "Let us see , the boys have been hiding something here . " I put my hand there , and there was nothing , and followed the feet a little further , when the feet stopped . I said " There is something here , let us see ; perhaps it is the old woman's money . " I went down on my knees and began to poke the sand away , and I found a bag buried , and which jinked as though there were coppers in it . Mr . Tooley ' s men came over from tkeir mill ; my husband also came up . I was far from the battery . Royal came up last . My hutband pulled the bag out of the hole , aud said it was the woman's money , because the ticket was on it . Royal said there ought to be
more yet , and he put his hand in and pulled out a small hag with some gold and silver , and he wanted to count it . My huebund said it should not be counted ; my husba&d said he would carry all ; but Royal would not let him . We all then went to the inquest together , and gave them to Sergeant Williamet . There was a broken bottle aud mug near the place , as if for a mark . I was at the battery in the afternoon after I came from the court ; amau came up to me , and was at the place where I found the money ; he was poking at the hole . He walked up tome and began to talk to me ; hehad dark trouters and a blue coat buttoned up to his neck , and a high hat , and I did not know him then , but have since ascertained it was the prisoner . The man said , " It is cold here , aud you need have good fire . " I said , " I would keep better if I could afford it" He said , "Your name is Dick . " I said ,
"Yes . " He said , "You found the money . " I said , " 1 did . " He said , " All you have to do now is to find the murderer . " I said , I wish to God I could ; I would walk twenty miles to fin i it out , though I was kino . " lie then said ( moving his foot ) , '" I am the murderer . " I said , " If you are the murderer you would not tell uie ; what is your name V He said , " You know me . " 1 said , " I do not . " He said , " Yes , you do . " I said , " If he would tell me I would tell the gentlemen . " He said , "You know me . " He then walked away as fat as the hole , then turned round and looked at me again , then proceeded towards the town . I told the Mayor what had passed , and the Mayor said it was only some person tam . pering with justice . I said , " I should like to see Yarham . " He said , " It could not be him . " I was afterwards examined before the magistrates , and when the
other persons were examined I looked at the dock , when b . fore the magistrates , and thought I knew him , but could uot recollect who it was . There was a young man in the battery at the time the man spoke to me , aud he told me the man ' s name was Yarham , aud that was why I asked to see him . After the trial , 1 and my husband went home by the train , when we saw Yarham aud his wife . He tried to shake hands witk my husband , but he refused . I said , " Goud God , if that be Yarham , that is the man that spoke to me . " After I got in the carriage , Yarham ' s wife asked me if I thought the poople iu Yarmouth would think she was the guilty party if they stopped or left Yarmouth . I said , "God knows , you know your conscience best . " When the prisoner tit si came up to the railway station , he said to my husband , "Don ' t you know me ? I am Yarham , but call me Mr .
C ., " and offered to shake hands . When we were going along , Yarham said , "Mrs . Dick , say as little about the monry as possible , for my solicitor told me that the prisoner ' . * solicitor wauted to fetch me in the murder , aud you as the person tiiat helped me to hide it . " I said , " Dick , do you hear what Yarham says ! " and my husband cauio up , and the prisoner told him the same thing . Ou getting to Yarmouth , the prisoner said , "Dick , if I see anything in the paper that wouid affect you or your wife ' s character , I will let you know . " My husband said , " Don ' t come to me , I don ' t want you , I take in the paper . " I saw him again at the top of the market on a Tuesday , either a fortnight or three weeks after ; it wus between nine and ten o ' clock . He came up to me and said , "How do you do ! "' I said , I don ' t know you" ( I didn ' t for a inouunt ) . He said , "Do any
of these three fellows interfere with you ! " I replied they did not interfere with me so much as they did with the girl . I said , "Do they Interfere with you V He said , "No , they know better , but the people plague me so much that I cannot stay here ; 1 have been to the workhouse to get money to go away . " I said , " I think you ought to have spoken the truth at first , and things would hai e gone better . 1 think you are either the murderer yourself , or know who did it , " I thought I bad no right to say so , and I turned to leave him . He said , " Stop , and 1 will tell you all about it . " I stopped , and he said he was not so much to blame as they were , for they uever let him rest after thoy heard that Mrs . Candler had got the money . He said he heard Mr . Catchpole was going about amongst the Angels . I said , "Where is the house ! " He said , the Angel Inn .
He laid they came to him and asked him to let them in . He made a bargain with them not to hurt the old woman , for they had time enough to get the money in the time she was getting the beer , as she was generally a quarter of an hour gone . He let them in at the backdoor , except Royal , who watched about the time she went for the beer . He told them to go into the bed-room , for that was where she kept the money . While they were there the woman came in sooner than usual . He was upstairs , and on hearing Chandler come in , he put out the candle and sat on the bed . Royal went in . She said "What dojyou . heref I know you . " Royal asked for half an ounce of tobacco , and the time she was getting it , Royal
and Hall knocked her down with the pincers . They thought she was dead . Mapes ran out to a . woman on the other side of the street , and said " All ' s right . " He asked if there was any noise at the Swan . She said , " I will go and see who is there . " She said there were several people tliere . They all then went up Black Swan-row , and saw several people there ; one of them was a young man who they thought must know them . Mapes then ran home to the Feather's Tap . As he was going along the Markvt-gatis he saw a person turn a light on him , who afterwards appeared to Le Lay ton . He then ran home , telling the others to bury the money and give him the signal when it was done , as his hous .- would be sure to ba searched first . W him he went home he saw
the woman lying in the fhop . She turned her eyes on him , and , seeing a lard Isuife lying by her , he took it and cut her throat . I said , " You are the murderer . " Prisoner said , " No , she could uot live , she hud been beaten so much l » y Royal and Hail , " Koyal gave the s ' gual , and he opened the wind « w and saw lloyal go down the street , and the policeman Waller coming down the other . There was a man came up then anil hit him on the shoulder , and said , " Are you going « " and they both went away together . Sarah Dick : I am daughter of the last witness . I lived in 1844 at the Battery . On Ttieseay . the Mill of
November , I remember a man coming and speaking to my motlier ; there was a boy in the Battery who told me the man ' s name was Yarham , —the prisoner at the bar is the man . I remember goin s to Norwich after the trial ; Yarham aud his wife were tliere , I know him to be the same man that spoke to ray mother . My mother told me the conversation Bhe had had with Yarham , and 1 told Mr . William Yates , the magistrate , about it . There was some disagreeablcness between my father and my mother , aud I asked her the reason . She then told me all about it . I told the magistrates , because I thought it was not a proper thing- to be kept secret .

imbibed from newspaper reports , or conversations on tlio subject of cit « trial , —without yielding to the desire to shield a murderer as the object of undue sympathy , on the ona hand , and without rushing blindly , on the other , to a conclusion that the prisoner vrcis guilty , merely because he was charged with so odious a crime as that now under discussion . The learned , counsel then entered at great length into an examination of the evidence adduced today , contrasting it with that which had been adduc ed on the former occasio ; n , when it was the object of the prosecution to make their case chime in , aud coincide with the udence of the prisoner against other parties , and commenting on the gross impropriety of the witness Mrs . Dick , who had on that occasion kept back so material a fact as the confession of that verv witness whom she was then assisting in swearing away the lives of three
fellowcreatures . If evidence of so material a character as the conversation with Yarham at the Battery had been kept back by Mrs . Dick and her daughter , who were the most material witnesses on the former trial , and were calUd to corroborate Yarham's statement , and that too with the sanction of the Mayor and magistrates of Yarmouth , who could tell that even now the jury were in full possession of the wholecase ? It might be that even now there was something kept back to suit the purposes of the present case , and if such a state of tilings was possible it was the duty of the jury to put a stop to it by declaring testimony bo tainted to be such as tlicy could not adopt , These observations were strictly applicable to thefii' 6 t
interview with Yarham ; but if they were well founded the jury might easily sea that no reliance could be placed on the marvellous confession after the last trial , which came from the same polluted source , and must liavu been concocted by Mrs . Dick after ehe had acquired the knowledge of the facts intended to ba disclosed in it for the first time , and from some sinister motive , which a clever , designing woman , could easily [ keep secret underany crossexamination , however searching . The accuracy of such testimony could only be tested by its probability , and if those statements were to be tried by such a criterion , he felt convinced that the jury , as reasonable men , would reject them , and come to the conclusion that their verdict ought to be one of acquittal .
Mr . Justice Maule then summed up the whole case to the jury , and in bo doing drew their attention to the various points of corroboration which were to be found throughout the evidence , and which were said to t « nd materially to throw an air of truth over the important testimony deposed to by Mrs . Dick . If she was believed , it was admitted that the case was preved , and it was for the jury to look at the whele circumstances and to judge whether she could have come into court with a deliberate design of swearing away the life of Yurham , who had ctrtaiuly done her no injury . If he were guilty gf this murder his offunce was very great ; but if she were guilty of such conduct at had been imputed to her , her crime was far deeper than his , though tie punishment might be less . Very strong comments had been made on her having omitted to state the first interview on the first trial ; but that evidence was not material to that issue , aud she might well agree with the mayor in thinking
lightly of it . Those observations , however , only applied to that intarview , and did not affect in auy way the second station and the third in Yarmouth , which might well revive the recollection of the first , and give it an importance which it really deserved , and an explanation which it required to make it available . TI 19 whole case , however , ^ Yus one peculiarly for the jury , who would deal with it according to the impression the evidence had niaita ou their minds . If they believed Mrs . Dick , they would find the prisoner guilty , but if the ; doubted her veracity , or saw any reasonable ground to distrust the story she told , it would be then their duty to acquit the prisoner , who had received a goud character , and was therefore entitled to all the advantages of such testimony . The jury retired to deliberate for upwards of a quarter of an hour , and at the lapse of that time their foreman pronounced their verdict to be that the prisoner was Guilty . Proclamation was then made for " Silence , " and
The learned Judge , having assumed the fatal emblem of death , proceeded to pass upon the wretched man the last sentence of the law for " the crime of most deliberate murder committed by him upon a most inoffensive person without any provocation—without anything to excite illwill towards her , and for no other cause than the desire to possess himself of the small sum of money which fihe had accumulated . The crime of which lie had been found guilty had not one mitigated feature in it . It was without excuse and without palliation , and possessed no feature which could removs it from that class of crimes which cvan in the opinion of those most averse to the
punishment of death deserved its infliction . Under such circumstances , it would be the greatest folly to waste any part of his few remaining days on secular a flairs , or to allow his attention to be drawn from the most important business of all men ' s lives—the preparation for a future state . In that work he would doubtless receive the ready aid of good and able men devoted to such service . " The learned judge then coicluded his most impressive address by earnestly exhorting the prisoner to avail himself of that aid , as all worldly concerns must now be entirely vain and useless , and adjudged him to be hung by the neck till he was dead .
The wretched man , who had listened to the trial with close Attention and to the awful sentence of the learned judge without evincing any emotion save a slight and occasional quivering of the lips and ayes , was then removed from the dock , while the shouts of the populace on the " hill" resounded in his ears . Intent to I'EoctfgB Abortion . —Satdedat , Mauch 28 . —Sarah Whisker was indicted for having administered to Frances Railey a quantity of a certain poison called white hellebore on the 5 th of March , with intent to procure abortion : Mr . Burchnm conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr . Frcndergast defended the prisoner . It appears that tbe prisoner , who is a beldame of between 30 aud 40 , i 6 esteemed as a " cunning woman " in thu city ef Norwich , and that she was visited by the prosecutrix on a day previous to that named in the indictment , for the purpose of having her fortune told . The wreteh soon elicited from the girl that she was in the family-way , and directed her to come on the 8 th of March , wheu she would give her something which would " do
her good and not interfere with her work . " The appointment was kept , and the preseculrix received from the prisoner a powder and a liquid , which she took according to the directions which accompanied them . The result , however , was far from satisfactory , for she fell sick , and , being obliged to quit her service , resorted , very wisely , to medical aid for relief . The surgeon then called in , and a . clictnist , who proved that he had frequently supplied the prisoner with small quantities « f " white hellebore , " were now examined , but from lack of experience in " poiBons , " were not enabled to speak decidedly as to the fact whether that ingredient was or was not a poison , and the prisoner was , therefore , on tho point of escaping "scot-free . " The learned judge , however , hearing that Mr . Scott , a celebrated practitioner in this city , and surgeon to the gaol , was present , caused him to be examined , and from that gentleman ' s evidence , founded on his more extended experience , the whole case was fully made out , and the prisoner was dul y convicted and sentenced to transportation for life . With this case the business of the assize terminated .

Baker held an inquestat the Edinburgh Castle , Kcgent ' s-canal , Mile End Old Town , on view of the body ef John Warren , jun ., aged 20 a young man of respectable connexions , residing in tho neighbourhood , who committed selfdestruction by drowning himself in the Regent ' scanal . The melancholy catastrophe created more than ordinary interest and sympathy amongst the inhabitants oi the locality , owing to the circumstance ef the sweetheart of the deceased , a young woman of considerable personal attractions , named Caroline Beule , aged eighteen , haying only a few days previously committed a similar act of self-destruction near to the spot where the body of the deceased was found . It appeared that the deceased and the
young female , Caroline lleale , agreed to take tea in Sunday night last , with an acquaintance of the young woman of tlic name of Amelia Bane , li y ing in Rhode-well-i'oad , Limeliouso , where the deceased went , according to his appointment . Caroline Beale did not arrive tiJJ some time after , when , on seeing the deceased , she remarked to him that she knew he had been taking tea with Amelia , and that if lie preferred her , she would have nothing to do with him . She was in a very excited state and left tlie house , but was induced to turn back a part of the way with deceased . She , however , again ran away , and was seen no more alive . Tlie deceased returned to the other female , and said he had no doubt Caroline would come back when she became more collected . About nine o ' clock the same nieht . as nnlificraan
M Uregor , Iv 291 , was passing the Edinburgh Castle , he saw a bonnet and shawl upon a stone , forming the b-iUBdary mark between the parishes of Mile End Old I own and St . Anne ' s , Limehouse . lie obtained the dra « s , upon which the body of the deceased was discovered which was taken to tlie Edinburgh Ustle ihc deceased , on hearing of the melancholy death ot his sweetheart , was inconsolable , and on seeing the body , clasped it in his arms , and exclaimed that ho wished he had followed her , so as to have prevented her self-destruction . From that time he iell into a state of despondency , and daily visited the corpse of the unfortunate female . The previous night ( Friday ) he called at her mother ' s to see it , being in company with Amelia Bane and a young man named Frederick Cook , who was directed not to leave him . Deceased afterwards called at a public-house where he said he had to meet a person . Cook and Heale were in the parlour when the
former tell asleep . Deceased took the opportunity to . l eave , and went , it is supposed , to the Regent ' s , canal , as shortly after his hat and coat were found upon the same stone on which the shawl and bonnet of Caroline Bcale were placed , by the samo policeman , who instantly obtaining the drags , got the body out , and ntiich was also conveyed to the Edinburgh Castle .

EXECUTION OF WICKS . At eight o ' clock on Monday mornin g the extreme penalty ot the law was carried into effect upon Thomas William Wicks , aged twenty , for the wilful murder of James Bostock , his master , on the 10 th of last month . During the interval which has elapsed since the exertions were made in . his behalf , Wicks was desired by tlie sheriffs not to entertain a hope that they would be successful , and , in consequence of this , when informed that his fate was inevitable , early last week he betrayed but slight emotion , and very shortly after that rallied and maintained his firmness to the last . On Saturday , the last day allowed for the unfortunate relatives to visit and take leave , his father and mother visited their unhappy child , and the final parting was most distressing , the wretched parents
feeling most acutely the miserable situation they were in , especially as they had not seen each other for years . On Sunday the convict attended the chapsl , but as the preaching of condemned sermons , as they were called , is done away with , the rev . ordinary , in the course of his discourse , but slightly alluded to the crime for which he was about to suffer . About half-past seven o ' clock the sheriffs and undersherifis were in attendance , aud about ten minutes before eight o ' clock they entered the press-room , where Wicks was pinioned . To the sheriffs and under-sheiiffs , and the other authorities , he gavo his thanks for their kindness and exertions in his behalf , and again acknowled ged the justice of his sentence , as well as his deep regret at having taken away the lite of his master . Everything being in readiness , the convict walked with a firm stop to the drop . Precisely as the hour of eight struck , the chapel bell was heard to toll , being the signal that the fatal
procession was approaching , and the tumult aud cries of " Hats off , hats off , " that ensued , baffles description ; in less than a minute the authorities approached and took their station near the scaffold ; the prisoner then mounted it , preceded by the Rev . Mr . Davis , the chaplain , with a firm step , and wholly unassisted , taking up his position under the fatal beam . The prisoner ' s pale and youthful appearance , being under twenty years of age , excited tlie utmost commiseration , and was the signal for loud and continued yelling of execrations against the authorities , mingled with cries of "Shame , shame ! " "Where ' s Johnstone ? " which continued during the whole time the fatal preparations were being completed . In a short time , the cap being drawn over his face , and the rope adjusted , the wretched culprit was launched into eternity , and in a few seconds ceased to exist . His struggles , although of a spare and light stature , did not appear to be great . '
From all that can be ascertained , youthful though he was , Wicks appears to have been one of the most hardened criminals ever confined within the walls of Newgate . It may be satisfactory to those levy persons—if any such there be—who might conscientiously have desired to spare the wretched man ' s life , under the impression that he was not master of his own actions when he committed the murder of which he was found guilty , to know that prior to his execution he made a full confession of his guilt , not only of the actual murder by shooting his master with a pistol , but also of having long premeditated the crime , and of having purchased , some weeks previously , a knife for the express purpose of cutting his master ' s throat —a determination he subsequently changed t « that of shooting him . It appears he had also intended to
shoot the foreman employed by the deceased . It has also transpired that even within the last few days he contemplated and laid a deep scheme for carrying into effect the murder of the young woman with whom he was intimate for some time past . This person , it will be remembered , gave evidence on the trial which in some degree tended to strengthen the presumption of his guilt . Whether this may have influenced the prisoner , or whether the knowledge that the woman in question had been seen in company with a young man—a former rival in her affections , it is believed—a fact which appears to have been imprudently communicated to the wretched youth by his mother during one of her recent visits—is not known , but it is certain that during the early part ol
last week he made a formal request to the proper authorities , with a view to obtain an interview with this young woman . The question was considered , and it was finally resolved that the interview should net take place . Wicks was greatly mortified at his request being refused ; but it was thought better not to give way to his wishes on the subject , and most fortunately was it so determined , for two or three days subsequently the wretched man confessed to the ordinary of the gaol , in the presence of several other persons , that it was his full intention , in the event of his request having been granted , to have received the young woman with apparent affection , and that while pretending to kiss her , to seize her by the throat with his teeth and retain his hold until he had suffocated her .
It has been ascertained that Wicks has witnessed nearly all the executions which have taken place since that of young Crouch sonie years ago . He appears to hare had a morbid curiosity for such scenes ; and on the occasion of Martha Browning ' s recent execution he actually paid 2 d . Gd . for a seat in aroom opposite the scaffold .

The Brazilian Pirates . —pur readers will recollect the circumstances attending the trial and acquittal of the prisoners charged with piracy on the coast of Africa , and the murder of the crew of her Majesty ' s ship Wasp . The prisoners , on being acquitted , were sent home by the British government . One of them , Majayal , a Spaniard , a young man of rather superior manners and address , who acted as cook , was charged in the trial as being the perion who inflicted the murderous blow on Midshipman Palmer . TJie prisoners were in all probability indebted for their acquittal to the munificence of the late High Sheriff of the county , Edward Simcoe Drewo , Esq ., of the Grange , who , with his wonted generosity , finding that most inadequate provision was made for their
defence by the Brazilian government , caused the learned Serjeant Manning to be retained on their behalf ; aud the high personal character of the learned serjeant , and his equally high reputation as a lawyer , secured from the court that attention to his exposition of the law which would not have been obtained by a junior counsel , even supposing that hk critical acumen had enabled him to raise the same points , and give the same breadth of principle to his exposition as the learned serjeant did . The prisoners all expressed themselves most grateful to the Hi gh Sheriff ; and it was a proud spectacle to see these wild and lawless men leaving our shores , and bearing away with them , for the rest of their days , an adequate conception and living experience of the impartiality and dignity of British law . The prisoner , Majaval , who , as we have said , had evidently received a
superior education to the rest , and had much of the manners of a gentleman , is a native of the town of Prima , near Barcelona , lie left England in the highest spirits , rejoicing in the prospect of returning to his family , snatched as it were from the jaws of death . But on arriving at Barcelona he was arrested by the authorities and thrown into prison , charged with the crime of piracy , for which it appears he is amenable to Spanish law . He has written a letter to the late High Sheriff , praying for a copy of his acquittal in the British court , expressing the renewal of his thanks for the kindness which lie experienced here , and describing his disappointment at being a second time incarcerated . The letter contained also one enclosed for General Espartero , between whose family and JVlajaval ' s there appears to have been some connection , with a view to get the influence of the General with the British authorities .
Manslaughter . —Furious Driving . —On Tuesday morning Mr . Thos . Wakley and a highly respectable jury assembled in the Admission-room of Middlesex Hospital , to investigate the circumstances attending the death of Mr , Daniel Ethcrington , aged eightythree years . The deceased was a master-tailor , and rctidcd at No . 21 , Silver-street , Golden-square . Charles Philott , postboy , 3 , Brewor ' s-court , Bedfordbury . said that he saw the deceased man on the morning in question , passing out of Hanover-street into the square , when a four-wheel chaiso driven by a groom came up at a most furious pace , and although there was plenty ot room for the driver to pass , he diove right on to the deceased and knocked him down . There was no one besides tho servant in the vehicle at the time , and when he heard "the cry of " stop him , " he Hogged the animal , thus increasing the speed , and ultimately escaped , having driven into Regent-street . Deceased died on Friday morning . Verdict , —'' Manslaughter against some person or persons unknown . "
A Narrow Escape . — ' One circumstance may bo named in reference to the escape of Captain Biddulph , an active and enterprising officer of the 45 th , who had been taken a prisoner . His sword was demanded and refused—taken from him , and again demanded , after this indication of his inabilit y to offer any resistance . Again he refused to yield it , and a gallows was ordered to be raised to intimidate him . Ihe Sikhs changed their minds , and determined to blow him lrom one of tho guns , to which he was accordingly chained , and preparations made . The action just then interfered , and called off the whole body ot the Sikh troops , who left Captain Biddulph chained to tlie gun . One of the Sikhs offered to conduct him to the Governor-General ' s camp if he would give him 1 , 000 rupees , and not take arms again , to which ho acceded , and was released , and conducted to Sir H . Hanlinge , whe at once paid the amount . " *

Londox Conx Exchange , Monday , Mahcii 30 . — The supply of English wheat was somewhat larger this morning than it has been for some weeks past , and difficulty was experienced in getting through tho whole of it , though offered at Is . to 2 s . per ar . below the rates current on Monday last . For foreign wheat in bond the consumptive demand was very trifling , and there was no speculative inquiry for it , or for free on board cargoes , though the latter were offered , by to-day ' s mail , on lower terms from the Baltic ports . —Fine barley was not so ready of sale as it was last week , and secondary sorts were rather cheaper . Irish oats , and the finer descriptions of English brought an advance of Cd . per qr . upon the prices of this day se ' nnight ; but upon light and inferior corn no improvement whatever could be realised ; the supply from our own coast was tolerably extensive . —Beans were dull and rather cheaper . — Peas of all sorts firm . There was more inquiry for clover seed , but it was freely met , and the lower description of both red and white must be quoted fully 2 s . per cwt . cheaper . Fine qualities support their value better , but go off very slowly .

A very great change has at length taken place in the market , prices having declined from 2 d . to Gd . per stone , and trade become dull at the reduction . The supply of beasts aud sheep was much larger than for some time past , and in excess of the demands of the town and country butchers . Of beasts there were near 3 , 200 head , which met with an indifferent demand . The price realised for the best Scots was 4 d . per stone under the rate of this day last week .
Interior qualities also sold dull , at the same decline , and a clearance was not effected by the hour of closing the market . The supply of sheep was near 5000 in excess of the return upon last Monday , This , together with the more plentiful supply of beasts , produced much less activity . in the mutton trade , and rates declined Cd . per stone for polled sheep , and -Id . for half-breds and Downs ; the latter realising only os . 2 d . per 81 b ., half-breds is . 10 d ., and polled ewes 3 s . lOd .

Flour has been held for better price ? , but has found only a limited sale . The market is bare of good parcels of oats and oatmeal , and each of those articles have brought a small improvement in value , Barley , beans , and
peas support late rates . But few operations have transpired in the bonded market within the week ; the slow progress in Parliament of the new Corn Bill inducing much caution on the part of millers and speculators , and wheat and flour are held for late prices . Indian corn has been in daily request for transit into the interior , to Ireland , and to Scotland , and promises to come into more general use in this country : prices gradually improve , aud are fully Is . per qr . higher than on last Tuesday . Wakkfield , Friday . —The arrivals of wheat are fair , and of barley large ; line wheat fully supports previous rates , and other qualities without change .

It appears that early in tlie morning , as some miners wcro going to their work , they perceived tlie body of a woman lying in a shallow pool of water , within a short distance of the roadside . Her wee was downwards , and the general appearance of the corpse indicated that the woman had been dead several hours . Iler clothes were torn to pieces , one of her le » s was completely uncovered , anil the stocking of the other was hanging loosely about the heel . The only mark 3 ot violence about the body were a few bruises on the arms and legs , and it would aouear that thevwero
caused by tho struggles of the unfortunate creature in her dying agony . About > hundred yards from the spot a stayiace was found , and at the same place there were the footsteps of a man and woman . The larger tracks alone extended , though in a less perceptible degree , to the piece of water were the body was lying , and from this circumstance it is iiiferreJ that , a violent struggle having occurred , the woraaa was carried to the pool , where her head was , in all probability , held down until suffocation ensuud . Tho woman was a vagrant , aud she has been identities by several of her uwn sisterhood as having borne ilie . mime of " Somerset Anne . " It is supposed that
she was murdered by some person who had cohabited with her , avid a man is now in custody on suspicion . _ Conspiracy to Murder a Maoisiuate . —The En * nUldllen papers of Thursday contain accounts ni" the discovery of a eons-piracy 10 murder Hubert AixUA Esq ., J .
