Jbi . y 7 .--A painful sensation Jias been caused in thig town by the circulation of a rnzaour that a young woman has been ravished and murdered under somewhat mysterious circumstances . . It ippeari that , aboutthree o ' clock on Sunday morning , as a workman , employed at Fen wick ' s glass-works , was walking on the Rector ' s Gill , near these works , he saw a bonaet , and a plate with four-pence halfpenny lying upon it , laid on the edge of the hank . In going up to-it , he looked o \ er the bank and then observed near the tttanel on the Lambton coal railway below , the body Of a female . Ai he was near the Bishopweannouth police station , he did not deem it prudent to go near the body , int at once obtained the assistance of two policemen , who removed it to the Infirmary . It was that of a young woman still alive . Her face was bruised , and she was otherwise slightly , injured externally , but in an utterly helpless and dying condition from internal - , . SUSPECTED MURDER AT SUNDE-tLAND .
bruises . Hectical aid was unavailing ; she was never able to speak , and died yesterday afternoon . Her name is Catherine Hindmarsh , and her step-father , Boirland Smith is a respectable master tinner and brazier in the town . The unfortunate girl left her father ' s house about twelve o ' clock on Saturday night , for the purpose of buying some butter and eggs , at a neighbouring shop , kept liy a person named Fairbairn . As she did not return irithin a reasonable time , her step-father went to Fairbairn ' s , to seek lier , when he was informed that she had never been there . The unhappy man wandered about the whole of the night , ana , early in the morning , heard that a jonng woman had teen found on the Lambton coal railway , and taken to the Infirmary . He went thither , and Ms grief can be better conceived than de-ECribed when he found that it was his daughter , and that she was unable to speak to him , or even to know Mm .
How she reached the Rector ' s Gill , which is about a quarter of a mile from her dwelling , and a secluded Situation , lying at a short distance from the river , and the western extremity of the town , is unknown ; but it is believed ( from a variety of minute circumstances , each insignificant itself , but convincing when united ) that she has been drawn thither by a worthless seducer , who , after destroying her virtue , has , to escape detection and punishment , thrown her over the embankment and destroyed her life . Suspicion attaches to an individual , not yet in custody , respecting whom the police are now making the most diligent inquiries . ~
This afternoon , ( Tuesday , ) an inquest was held at the Londonderry Arms , before Mr . Maynard , one of the county coroners ; and after some fresh evidence had l » een adduced , the inquiry was adjourned until Friday , by -which time it is probable some further particulars Mill fee ascertained relative to this distressing affair .

SUICIDE BY A MEDICAL STUDE 2 vT . On Thursday Mr . T . TFafcfry , M . P ., held an inqnest at the Cock Tavern , Phoenix-street , Clarendonsqnare , Somers Town , on the body of Mr . George Francis Webb , lately residing at Ifo . 5 , in that street . The deceased genileman , who was in his twenty-sixth year , was a medical student , and having passed one of Ms examinations at the Royal College of Snrgeons : he was under ilie process called "grinding , " preparatory to Ms completing the remainder . lie had been in the constant habit of ill-nsing his wife , to whom lie had been married four years , and which was so generally known as often to have called forth tlie interference of tlie Tieighbonrs . lie was subject to extreme depression of spirits , and had addicted himself to the practice of taking ' morphia , " for the purpose of alleviating his mpnta . 1 snffi > rmirs .
Mr . John Wentmore , surgeon , of 14 , Clarendonsquare , stated that on being called to attend deceased , lie found Mm lying on the bed . There was a bottle by Ms side that had contained morphia , a preparation from opium . The usual antidotes were administered , but he never rallied , and he expired at about half-past one on the following . ( Taesday ) morning , fie presented all the symptoms of a person who had taken opium . Witness had since made a pott mortim . examination . On testing the contents of the stomach the presence of morphia could be but faintly detected . Witness attributed the immediate cause of death to congestion of the brain , resulting from the effects of morphia . The Jury , after a short consultation , returned the subjoined verdict— " That the deceased died from the effects of a poison called morphia , but in what state of mind he was in at the time he took It there was not sufficient evidence before the jurv to enable them to decide .

MYSTERIOUS GASE OF MURDER . The following appears in the Armagh Guardian : — " It will be in the reeolleetien of our readers that some weeks past a protracted inquest was held at Bfcuburb , on the body of a young man , who ? e mutilated remains had been found concealed in a pipe at the end of that town . When the proceedings of the inquest terminated , the name of themurdered party , and the circumstances under which he came by his death , were involved in a complete mystery : at length , however , we believe a clue has been obtained likely to lead to the discovery of all . ^ A young man named Jame 9 Patterson , who resided at lungarve , near Dirogaunon with his stepmother , had been for some time missing , and his absence , in reply to repeated inquiries , not being satisfactorily accounted for , suspicion was aroused . The father of James
Patterson lad by a first marriage a son ( James ) and a daughter . After his first wife ' s death , he married a widow named Loy , who had also a family by her previous husband . After o !< l Patterson's death , the two families continued to live together on his farm in Kingarve , not , however , it is said , on the best of terms ; and it is now rumoured that Patterson ' s first wife ' s daughter die-i suddenly , about twelve years past , under very peculiar circumstances . Be that as it may , James Patterson , who was rather sickly , and affected with sure eyes , received very harsh treatment from his stepmother and her children , contrived by his industry to save upwards of three pounds . Some time past the widow was charged with stealing bonnets in Dungannon , in consequence which Mr . Robert Wrav , the agent of Lord Renfurley on
• whose property Ivingarre is situated , determined to banish the Loys from the estate , allowing them liberty to dispose of their interest in the land , provided James Patterson got a share of the purchase money . At this period he Lad an Issue at the back of his neck , on account of hh eyes , notwithstanding which he was severely beaten by the other members of the family , having to seek refuge in a neighbouring house , whence he was prevailed on to return the same evening . Since that he was never publicly seen : and tlie land having been disposed of , and the parties making preparations to go to America , his continued non-appearance eventually excited much surprise and alarm which vas increased when it was found that the statements of the Loys were untrue about his having gone to the Infirmary in this city ( Arma « h ) , tohavchis eyes proper ! v treated . Attentien was then naturally directed to the unrecognised body at Benburb , and upon m-
wtiEation a portion of the clothes have been identified as belonging to Patterson , while the extraordinary fact of the flesh being completely stripped from the ' vertebneoftheneck , is now endeavoured to be accounted for on the supposition that it wa 3 done to prevent identification by means of the issue . No ex-€ rtions hove been spared bv the magistracy and subinspector Goold , of Dunuannon , to throw light on this mysterious matter , prompt measures l . ave been adopted to apprehend the parties suspected of this dark and most nnmtural murder . Since writing the above we have learned that the two policemen sent from Dongannon have been most successful , sub-constable Mooney luring arrested Patterson ' s stepmother and two daughters in Glasgow , and lodged them in Dungannon gnol on Sunday evening . We understand that two of her son 3 have been arrested , one in Liverpool , by constable Cannon , the other in tlie neighbourh ood of Dungannon . "

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS . A journeyman baker , of Birkenhead , named Thomas Ballwlck , anticipating a complete revolution in Ms trade by the operation of free traffic in the bread stuffs of America , determined to be beforehand with the asre , and go out to New York to be instructed in the Yankee method of making maize and chopped Straw palatable . Two heads being , in Thomas's opinion , better than one in all deeds of " high emprise , " he proposed to a comely-looking servant girl , of Liverpool , to link her lot with his , and try the chauees of the world of freedom for whites , and slavery for niggers , beyond the Atlantic . The fair damsel blushed consent , and straightway left the
kind mistress with whom she had been long a tried and trusty , though humble friend and servant , to better her condition . She went to reside for three ¦ weeks with an aunt in Birkenhead , to fulfil the requirements of the law ; and having been duly a ? ked under the provisions of the Dissenters' Marriage Bill , his reverence was waited upon , and the "happy day" fixed . Yesterday morning , the parties-were all assembled at the Roman Catholic meeting house in Birkenhead , the ring was ready , and a car was waiting at the door to convey them , after the ceremonv , to the beach , whence thev were to embark , at one o ' clock , in " a liner , " then lying in the river , for " the land of promise . "
An awkard delay now occurred , in consequence of the non-appearance of the superintendent registrar , or bis deputy , to legalise their proceedings ; and the patience of * " his Reverence" being exhausted , the aaut of the bride was da-patched in search of the truant official , and she speedily retnrned with the heartrending intelligence that he was at Knutsford Session 15 on township aiiairs , which would not brook Lis absence Having somewhat recovered from the stunning effects of ^ ttiis piecesof'news , the bride and her aunt went to the ofheeof the official to try whether this difficulty could not be surm ° unte < l find after due inquiry , it was diECOveied that another registrar , who was then in Liverpool , cnuM Vvelega force to the contract , and for him there

was forthwtih such " running and searching" had never been seen since the young bride of Netherby was abducted by Young Lochinvar . At length , be was ^ found , and , en reaching the meeting house , anew difficulty had arisen : one certificate had been issued by the absent deputy , and a second could not be made until that had expired . Another delay now took place , until at length an unobtiusive letter , lying at the police-office , was found to contain the missive , which had been sent per post from hnutsford . Twelve o ' clock was now fast approaching , beyond which mystic hour no hymeneal torch could be lighted , and , with desperate haste "his the was forthwtih snch " runnine and searching" as
Reverence" coupled swain and damsel as they thought , " until death did them part ; " but unfortunately , when the necessary documents were to be signed , it was found that the two parties had each resided in different parishes , and only one certificate was forthcoming . The marriage was , therefore , null and void . The feelings of the no longer " happy pair , ' at having the cup of bliss dashed from their lips , " may be imagined , but cannot be described ;" and we have not heard whether the baker prevailed upon his half wedded spouse to share his fortunes , and trust to a more fortunate " chapter of accidents , " really to make the twain one flesh , when they arrive in America . —Liverpool Courier .

CmnetTi at Sea . — At the Central Criminal Court on Wednsday , Captain William Graham , the commander of the ship Grange from Sydney , was indicted for unlawfully assaulting and beating Tliomas Singleton and James Bain , on the hfgh seas , within tlie jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England , in the months of March and A pril last . There were several other counts in the indictment , one of which charged the defendant with putting the prosecutor into irons without laivful cause . The prosecutors stated particular acts of cruelty inflicted by the prisoner when off the Cape , and at other periods of the homeward voyage , in order to support tke allegations
set forth in the indictment . The principal charges were for beatinc , kicking , putting in irons , and imprisonment with short allowance . The Jury consulted in this case for only about two minutes , and then returned a verdict of guilty of common assault . The Learned Judge said the Court always lent its power to protect the captains of ships , but at the same time it was a paramount duty to protect poor seamen from brutal conduct . There could be no doubt but that excessive chastisement had been infiicted on these poor men . The Court then ordered and adjudged that the prisoner be confined for sis months in tlie Penitentiary , at Millbank . The prisoner wag then talten into custody .
Tire Double Suicide at jSornsGnAM . --The inquest en the bodies of the two colliers was held at Nottingham , on Wednesday . After considerable Inquiry and delay , information was obtained , showing that the colliers were in distress , their houses heavily mortgaged , and themselves involved deeply in money clubs . With respect to persons seeing them since Saturday little information could be obtained beyond that which we gave yesterday . Evidence respecting the fact of the suicide having been given , the coroner stated that be had seen a medical man , who had attended both the deceased for some time past , andhe had no doubt they were both to a certain extent deranced , and that their minds were so constituted as to lead them to such an act as they had committed . The jury returned as their verdict ' That the deceased hanged themselves , being at the time of unsound mind . "

Athens ,-June 20 . There has been a most awful earthquake in the south of the Morea , and the damagesustained by the towns of Calamata and Nisi ' , and neighbouring villages of Micromnni , Aslanaga , and Baliaga , is estimated at more than a million of drachmas , while a number of lives have been lost . The shock was also severely felt at Patras , and as far as Missolonghi , but notin Attica . The ground opened in several places near Calamata , and hot water and sand issued from the clefts . Their Majesties were at Calamata at the time , and were in great peril from the falling of a wall . Ancient history confirms what present appearances indicate , that the Peloponnesus has suffered from earthquakes from the earliest times , and which have continued to the present period , but for many years past the shocks have not been severe , and not at all frequent .

THE CHARTIST CO-OPBRA . TIVE LAXD SOCIETY , TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOHT 1 JEBN STAH . Sir , —I am enraptured with tlie progress being made by our glorious Land project , in spite of the labours of interested and discontented individuals employed to write it down ; I am gratified to learn from this day's Star , that the directors have disposed of the people ' s second estate , and have thereby realized tUe sum of one thousand three hundred and fifty pounds . Now , in my humble opinion , this fact alone should silence the lase and slaucferous crew . Now , Sir , as the directors solicit the advice of the members as to the disposal of the above sum , allow me to suggest , in order that each occupant may be enabled to participate in the benefits arising from the very excellent management of
the directors , that this amount of money be appropriated to the forming of a Loan Fund , confined exclusively to the Land members , tlie same to be hereafter under the consideration and control of the directors ; and when I consider that our object is to effect the greatest amount of good for those who most require our aid and assist . ance , viz . the unenfranchised and impoverished working classes , I cannot help thinking that the money could not be better applied , for it is mote than probable that the majority of the fortunate holders of the next prizes may be actually destitute of the means of taking possession of their estates , when a loan from the fund would at once extricate them from their difficulties , and render each man comparatively independent .
I trust my brother shareholders will take this idea into their consideration , and as you are disposed to listen to the opinion of each , and allow every one fair play , I fear not that this important question will receive that attcHtion from every quarter of the kingdom the nature of the subject requires , and undoubtedly deserves . " In the meantime , allow me to remain , llcspecifully jours , J . Suaw . 24 , Gloucester-street , Commercial Koad , East , Sunday , July 5 , 184 G .

ANOTHER WORD OR TWO . In consequence of information reaching the ears of the Committee of Towor-Loom Weavers , that Messr * . Pigott and Newton try to insinuate into the public mind that the charges brought against them , as stated above , are not true ; and fearing lest any should be misled by an apparent plausibility , ( for these gentlemen liavo a very cunning way of trying to evade and misrepresent our charges ) we again declare that tho prices quoted are each and every of them TRUE . We moreover iuvite Messrs . Pigott and Newton to meet us in public , and if they can prove our assertions to be fallacious , thsy may publish us to the world as slanderers . '—But they dare not , although thoy are far removed from anything like delicacy . One of these subterfuges is , that it is a newfabrie
they want to introduce , and not a reduction;—a gross attempt to delude the public by a very great untruth ! It may bo well perhaps to sot the public right on this point : — -Weaving is paid by the beers or set , i . e . so much jam in n given width : and itis not the first timein the history of weaving in this town , that manufacturers have put in cotton warps , or had a little less waft put in , and called it another fabric ; but it has always hitherto ' followed , that as soon as the low wage system was established , thi'y have turned rouud and paid \> y the sat , and deeWed It to be no new fabvie at all . Now v . e affirm that no honest man or set of men would haverecoursetosucl ) unfairness , which we deem absolutely no better than thimble rigging .

Tiik City Men ' s Men . —In a notice two oi < throe weeks' asro , of the proceedings of this society of the London Boot and Shoe Trade , mention was made that a somewhat similar opposition was gettinc up against the General Association * among the Westond Mons * Men ; and , although the particular mode of operation seems not yet fully decided upon , yet it is evident that they , too , will withdraw themselves . Already tlie first and second sections have refused to continue the connection , while the third and fifth " / •¦•» v > j u «> aa » i ^ IIIIU ill ft
f . * have in reality resolved up . r , the same . There is , therefore , only one section , the fourth , which can be said to remain ; and one against four can have but little chance of success . From all this , then , it is pretty evident that the Association , as at present constituted , is . on its "last legs , " in London at least , as the West-end Womens' district alone is all that at present remains of the six districts which formerly belonged to it . We learn , however , that the " rebels " are not veritable "Jevellciw , " but that while they destroy , they intend also to construct .
SHEFFIELD . The Central Committee of tlie United Building Trades o * ' Sheffield , held their monthly meeting at the Grey Horse Inn , fligh-srreefc , July 1 st , when it was determined that the Festival shall take place on Monday 27 h July , with a Dinner , and Demonstration at the Barrack Tavwn . Owleston-road . Several well known advocates of the People will address the meeting . The procession will return , and the various trades will dine at their respective lodgea . The next meeting of the committee will be held at the Ball Tavern , Camp-lane , July 14 th , at S o clock in the evening . .
SHEFFIELD STRIKE . We ara glad to Icirn that the . strike of the Labourers ( which took place three weeks ago ) for an advance of 3 d . per day is finally settled . Many of the wasters gave the advance without a strike—they are not connected with the masters' union . Several masters ( leaders in the masters' union ) stand out , and employed all the chimney sweepers they could get , and failing with these , they went to the workhouse , but the poor fellows would not carry bricks without the advance , the work therefore had to stand .
A meeting was then summoned of the masters ' union , but only five attended , they could not do any business , and the union lias since been broken up " . The men have gained a great victory ova some of the greatest . blockheads that ever lived . Stiuke of SnoEMAKERS at Kiljurnock . —( From the People ' s Journal . )—Lately , several of the shoe manufacturers came to the decision of lowering the prices of several kinds of work from those fixed on by the operative shoemakers' union . In cousociucneo of this , all the men in their employment struck . No arrangement has as yet been made between them ,
but the men express their determination to stand so long ( if possible ) that the masters will be obliged to submit , as they cannot long contrive to do without the labour of their workmen . From the little work the men have been receiving for some time past , they are extremely poor , aud consequently unable to do long without their usual employment , Should the employers gain tlie victory , it will probably have the effi ct of making ths other employers in town ( whose men amount to nearly 200 ) adopt the same course . The number of men on strike is about forty ,
