FRIGHTFUL MURDER 6 P TWO CHILDREN . last Saturday morning , the neighbourhood of Old-Street , St Luke ' e , was thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of the discover ; of a double mur . der . The victimi were two children , and the following evidence , adduced at tho examination of the murderess , shows the circumstances under which the dreadful act was perpetrated . The scone of the occurrence Is Cupid ' s , court , Golden-lano , and the victims two children of the respective names of Armenia Blake , aged eight years , and Robert Henry Blake , sged fire years , whose father , Robert Blako , a grinder , resides at No . 3 , Cupid «¦ court , where he has been cohabiting with a woman named Harrlet Parker , who is now in custody , charged with the murder of his two children . miT ^ Ti ... mniiii 7 m niTTmrnnrn
, Tho prisoner , who is described as a repulsive , downcast looking woman , apparently between thirty and forty years of ago , was placed at the bar of the Clerkenwoll Police Court , bsforo Mr Tyrwhitt , the sitting magistrate . The court was crowded In every part , and the prisoner was permitted to ait la the dock , she being in a weakly state , and evidently labouring under severe remorne and compunction of mind . Mm Jane Moore , of No . 9 , Cupid ' fl-court , St Luke ' e / deposed that on Saturday morning , about four o ' clock , Bhe at the
and her husband were awoke by a loud knocking aoor . On leoklag out of tha window sho saw the prigoner , who was very much agitated , and she exclaimed , « Ob Mrs Moore , I have done it ! Witness aiked what she had done f She replied , ' I want out with Blako last night intending to go to the play , when he met with a little atrumpet and took hold of her arm , and he Inriiaediat « Jy Jefc « e . ' Witness told her she had nothing to do with that and asked her why sho had come to speak to her about it ? The prisoner was leaving the street dooi , and she said , ' I shall go and deliver myself up to a
policeman . ' ' Why Mrs Blake , you do not mean to say you have done it V She replied , ' I hare murdered the two children . ' My husband went for a policeman . The prisoner cohabited with a man named Blake , to whom the children bolonged . Went to the house whero thv prisoner lived , and saw them lying dead . Mary Matthews deposed that Bhe waB alarmed by Mr Blako on Saturday morning at four o ' clock , who said that the prlse . ner bad murdered his two children . Wit . neBS procured two policemen . They entered by the par . lour window , and found the children . They only had on their shif ts and stockings . They were warm . There were scratches m their throats . Mrs Lucy Matthews , of No . 8 , CupM ' s-court , proved seeing tho prisoner between seven and eight o'clock on the previous evening , and her telling her that Blake bad takfn her out to take ' her to the . play , and had left her to go with another woman .
Mr Charles Adanm , of the Dakeof Bedford , Goldenlane , saw the prisoner and Blake jit his house on Friday night last . Whilst there , Blake slipped away from the prisoner . She left , but Bhertly > fcerwards returned with the deceased girl , when prisoner said , ' I Will have mj revenge on the ohildraa . if I can ' t hat e it of him . ' She had it inhermiud for some time past . Shewoaldgo to the gallows ana die like a trump for him . She looktdat the clock , and said to witness , ' Mark the timo . It is ' now twenty : five minutes to eight o clock . She had two amall drops of gin , and she left with the girl . The prisoner bad cohabited with Blake for three years . There were other perBORB present when she used the threats against the children .
George Towler 1 C 1 Ot , deposed that at ten minutes to four o ' clock Saturdny morning , tne prisoner came to deliver horoelf into his custody . ; she would not tellwhat for . Sheeubsrquently saidshehnd ' murderodtwoohildren , Oh her way to the station a&e said , ' It was my intention to do this nine months ago , and I have done it to my sorrow ; but I know what I was about , ' Harriet Hayward , searcher at Featherstoue-street Btatlon . houae , deposed that When the prisoner was brought to the stati&n she complained that Blake had ill-used and cut her . Her shift was smothered In blood . She said , ' For God ' s sake don't let my clothes touch yours . I am a murderess . I have murdered two children . ' She said Blake had driven her to it . she did not fear them , she feared for . neraelf . She said that Blako had taken her out to go to the play , when he slipped away . She" begged her not to let Blake see her if bo called at the station . ;
Mr Francis Wright , surgeon , of 110 , Whitecrosa . street , St Luke's , deposed that he was sent for at a little after four o ' clock , ' and the children must have been dead abeut an hour . Re examined the bodies , and found mark's of violence on their throats near the windpipes . The marks or scratches arose from some one grasping the throats tightly with the fingsro , and he should say that death was almost Instantaneous . Policeman 26 G , saw the prisoner runh out of her house calling out , ' I have murdered the children to revenge their father ; they were innocent—through my vindlctiveness I have done the deed ! ' Witness cautioned her to say nothing . She said , in reference to Blake , ' I doatec the ground ae walked upon , and he kaew it . She also said , I was sot like a person who was drunk , I knew what I was about . I was quite sober . The prisoner was then asked if she had anything to say . She faintly answered Nothing . 'and was then re . xaanded .
An inquest was held before Mr Barker , the same day . Previous to evidence being given the jury viewed the bodies , which lay on a bed , on a turned up bedstead , in the front room on the ground floor , at tho house , No . 3 , Cupid ' s-court . They were in the exact position they were loft by the accused . The elder child ( tbe ' girl ) was at the foot of the bed , with her head near the wainscot , in a position from which it was evident a struggle must bare ensued . It was the opinion of the jury tbat the poor child had been suffocated by a pillow having been placed over its mouth . There wqb a scratch across her throat about three inches in length . The otlier child was at the head of the bed , and presented appearances of his death having been caused in a similar manner . ' The bed clothes were in a state which showed that a most violent struggle had token place on the part of tho murdered children for the preservation of their lives . Thorn were no other marks of violence about their
bodleB . The following evidence wa « taken : — Robert Blake , No . 8 , Cupid ' s . court , Golden lane , being awirn , said—I am by trade a grinder . The deceased wero my children , and were born In lirrftj ! wedlock . I have been separated from their mother , who ia residing at Birmingham , about four years . I was married to her in the year 1836 . I was living with a woman named Esther Parker , who passed as my wife . I have been Hyingwith her in Golden-lane about two jcars and half . She Is a widow- By the coroner ! I last saw my children on Friday evening , between five and six o ' clock . I put them both to bed . [ The witness was here much affected , and seemed almost overpowered 1 They appeared in good health when I left
them . I left them with the woman who is charged with having murdered them , I intended to have gone to the theatre on Triday night with a friend , and I went out for that purpose . It was a male friend . No serieus words arose between me and Esther Parker . She followed me out with an intention of annoying me , and said I should not go . She wanted to prevent me going ttf the theatre , as I would not take her with mo . She said sho would follow me step by step , go where I would . She followad me to several places , and I tried to get rid of her . After goin * through several streets I went to the Duke of Bedford public house , in Golden-lane , with tbe intention of staying there , and of having a glass of ale with my friend , with whom I was going to the theatre . She followed mo in , I told her to go home ,
observing that I did not mean to go to the theatre Then , while she was in conversation with a periKin , I escaped . I have not seen her since . Juror : Do you know anything of the circumstance !) attending the death of the children ? Witness : Nothing ; I know nothing about it . Juror : What time did you return home , and when did you become acquainted with the deaths of the deceased ? Witness : I slept at the house of a friend in Goiwcll . atrset . About eleven o'clock that morning I was going down GoswelUtreot with a shepmateto my work , when a person my ehopmate knew told him of the murder . Coroner : Then you never saw Esther Parker after you left her at the public homo , norheard anything
about her nor your children f Witness : No , not till my shopmate heard of my poor children being murdered . That was the first discovery of it by me . The coroner said , that he , the witness , must bring that friend forward at the adjourned inquiry . —Policeman Haynes , G . 155 , said that in the cell accused asked him if he was not afraid to sit with her . She looked at her hands several times and exclaimed , ' Ia it possible that I could have co-ntnlttcd such a crime ? ' Coroner Did aha b&j bow She did it , or make any confession ? Witness . No , sir . A juror observed that it was supposed the witness slept with a female in Goswell-strect .

IRISH DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERATION . The meeting of ibis bod ^ aa well attended on Sanday evening last , at Cartwright ' s . Mr f W , vice-president , in the chair , who thanked «;• ««*• ing for the honour they had done him m electing him to the vke-presidenoy . Mr O'Connor ' s letter to the Irish people was then read amidst maraed and enthusiastic satisfaction , after which—Mr Clahct commented , at considerable lengtn , upon different portions of tbe letter in approval of the policy adopted by Mr O'Connor in Parliament , and condemnatory of the fruitless attempt of Mr Magee , in Dublin , to revive the . prejudices of the oast in the breaatirof the Irish people againat the -- _ , _¦—— - - — - tr . tr h TiEMOnRATIO CONFEDERATION .
president . He ( Mr C . ) contended that the man who was not prepared , at fivo minutes notice , to £ 170 his vote for the interest of his country wag not fit to be in the hoase , nor could his conduct be palliated by any excuse , however plausible , that might be made for it—the fact was , Mr O'Connor ' s motion had spoiled the Repeal member ' s ' game of truculenoy ;' he had jeopurdiged their hope of promotion by placing them between two firea , —he hoped he would do so every session of parliament till the undisciplined levies would be compelled to stop at home till they attained Mr Magee ' s standard of perfection in ' National Legislation and Parliamentary tactics ;' the belter
but as we could not hope for tbiB , way would 1 ) 9 each session to throw fehem at once on to the Ministerial benches ; they had been taunted , in that room , with not applying themselves to Inshaffairs ; he denied the assertion , there never was a night but they had done so—unless interrupted by those who made the charee—and , he would make bold to any , that every Irishman who heard that letter read tenight would have eained more useful information and instruction than if they should read tbe whole of the Irish Papers . —Whi / r , Radical , and Repealers—for the next twelve months . Mr C . concludedby moving the suspension of the standing order , which having been complied with , he submitted the following
mo'ion to the meeting : — That this meeting highly approves of the manly and unbiased conduct of M . 3 . Barry , Esq ., at a public meat , ins ; in Dublin , in reprorine that attempt of Mr Magee to slight the exertions of Mr O'Connor in parliament , there , by making fresh the sore which he pretended < o heal , br furnishing an excuse to the pledged members of Repeal for their perfidious conduct o » that question . This meeting is further of opinion that the ' wait awhile' doe . trine propounded by Mr Magee has ever been the most ruinous to Ireland . That her best orators have not generally bees her best friends ; and tbat sho needs not premeditated speeches in" the British Senate ; but honest men ' s votes which rrguire ne time in recording ,
Mr H . Tuckbr rose to second the motion , which , he paid , had his hearty approval : ho contended it was their dnfy to watch public men—he lamented that the Iri 3 h people did not exercise that control over pub'ic men , which would he a guarantee to their keep ' nsr in the riehi path . " Mr T . adverted to the conduct of Mr Bright in parliament . lie said the Chartists had always denounced Bright and his Free Trade nostrums , but O'Connell had always approved nf it ; but look at his conduct now towards Ireland . Where were your fine speakers zn the house ? did any of them reply to' him ? No , they would leave it tor O'Connor to do—and he knew O'Connor would » ive him a for it yetbright a bay as be was .
rap , Mr IIaniox next addressed the meeting , after having ; paid in his subscription and . been enrolled . No man more respected Mr O'Connor than he did , but yet he thought tbat it was ill-timed of him to bring forward the Repeal question at the time he did—besides , the Irish members did not come to parliament to vote for Repeal ; but to look for food for the people of that country . He next replied to Mr Tucker ' s ' observations on Mr Bright , and said , at the time Mr Bright brought forward his statements , that there was not a single notice from any Iricbraan on the books of the bouse !'
MrO . M'Carthy replied to . the last speaker , and contended tbat the fact stated by Mr Hanlon was an additional reason for Mr O'Connor to place a motion on the books , and as to creating dissension among the members , it was quite plain Mr Hanlonhad not read the asreement made between Mr O'Connor and Mr John O'Connell , nor Mr O ' Connor ' s offer to withdraw the motion if it was considered ill-timed by the Irish members , but did any of them request him to do so ? Not one ! on the contrary . John O'Connell told him to go on , that it could not be in batter hands . { The gentleman had told them that the Irfah members came over to get food for the people ; but ought they not to have known what Bort of food thev would get frortfthe' base , bloody , and brutal Whig 3 V
Cold steel and leaden bullets was the Whigs' regimen for the people ; they knew very well that while two millions of the Irish people were being buried of starvation there was more food entering the dooks of Liverpool from Ireland than from all the rest of the world beside ; but Lord John would not meddle with private tra-te , and they knew it—hence the absurdity of expecting anything for the IriBh people from the Whigs but coercion , and hence the necessity of having such a man in the honse as the member for Nottingham , who showed that tho great patriots were no patriots at all . Grattan , on a former Coercion Bill , said that sooner than his tenantry should be coerced he would remove them to a foreign land : but now we see him voting with the Ministers . He believed
the landlord class had brought misery on the land , that there were good landlords in Ireland , had been shown , who had no occasion to even bolt their doors at night because they felt themselves secure in tha affections of their tenantry ; but until the people had the power to controul their representatives by the principles pspressed in the letter read ' tbey would be always sufferers by the grinding class ' of society . Mr Sdllivan said , he hoped Mr Hanlon would not take umbrage at any observation that might be made towards the line of argument he had adopted . He was sure , on calmer reflection , that his arguments were not tenable . He ( Mr S . ) was glad to pay tri . \ ynle to hia countryman , Michael Joseph Barry , on this occasion , although no man had made a severer
thrust at their principles than did M . J . B ., in his prize essay ; but although he once might have thought that the people had no right in the making of the laws , fie hoped fie did not think so still—and he hoped to see him one day advance a step further in the march of fraternalisation . ne considered it was a sad thing that the Irish people had no means , till lately , of testing the sincerity of the Irish members . Let U 3 aoppose they might be all honest patriots . But how could the people bo certain that they were sn , unless they had some means of testing them ? They were elected as Repealers , but were never tested by it ; until , thank God and the men of Nottingham , Feargua O'Connor ' scattered the rats ' ( Laughter ) And he hoped he would doso every session . a 3 nothing would annoy tbe ministry more , nor show the Irish people their pretended frionds . better
than this sort of cross-firing by a few good sharpshooters in the House of Commons . ( Cheers . ) Mr Wadick was glad to see his friend Mr Hanlon come amongst them . He could see that it wa ? the beauty of their principle that every man could be heard wjth patience , andwithoat fear oi insult for his opinions . They preached and they practised equality , and the man that would stand up as dictator amongst them , would get laughed at for his trouble . A great deal had been said about Repeal , but he believed that no nation could be free unless its people were individually and collectively represented ; and he would challenge any man to prove that the people of Ireland had got one potato more by all the agitation in Ireland for the last twenty [ years , nor would they for the next , unless the people took their own affairs into their own hands , and until the riohta « f
tbe people were fully recognised by those who pretended to lead the people . He had seen a letter in theTABWT to Lord Stanley , in which the writer stated that the Irish people were the most loyal people on the face oi the earth . He believed that was a lie—nay , more , it was worse , damnable hypocrisy and a gross insult to the Irish people . They had no reason to be loyal ; and one great reason for his joining this society was , because its members did no * teach 9 uch fulsome , soul-sickening stuff . Mr Bbzbr followed , and argued in favour of the policy pursued by Mr O'Connor . He was glad to see that the Irish people ' s eyes were opening . Once opened , the sham patriots would not find it an *«» .
,, matter to close them again . He was glad to hear Mr Hanlon express himself so fully as h % had done . 1 hey had met for the purpose of discuaab- the best means ot serving their respective countries , and thev could not expect to do so with advantage without exhibiting at all times , a good feeling towards each other , and he was glad to witness , by the agreeable manner of Mr H ., that even with so ahortan aC . quamtance they could be good humoured , though £ K . f br ln punctilioes . The gentleman had admitted that coercion was not proper food for Ireland and Mr J . O'Oonnell admitted that the Repeal question might have thrown the Coercion Bill over the recess . Even according to this argument Mr 0 Connor must have been tight , a 9 it is the duty o aH to ward off oppression aslonjr as nossihlfi / h , ?
inisnas always been the way with sham patriots They are always seeking a peculiar time ofthei own , hke the late Daniel O'Connell , which never ar tiZ" J ^ W ** fleee 33 ^ f- Repeal ; £ « mu 0 Urfe V SOOner they could get it the better Then why Hot vote for it ?

An article on CoerJnV ! * read from the Naiion , as also was the letter T \^ O'Connor to the 'Irish people . 'from theN 0 R P Stab , which elicited much applause . BB Mr Reynolds ,. !!} an able speech , dwelt at o length upon the policy pursued by the late Mr O'C nell before the committees in Parliament , and tfTi pursued by him since that period . In 1823 he his oath , recommended that the ' . English governm ° 1 should po 38 OS 3 tho nomination of the Caff bishops , and a system of mixed education , and th »* the Irish peasantry were so demoralised , as nntfn k THE LONDON CONFederauSt
believed on oath . They were all aware thaf ^ policy of Mr O'Connell , since 1825 , was quite oddLu to his sworn testimony . He ( Mr Reynolds ) held th blue books in his haada , containing that evident which at once stamped Mr O'Connell as a mt ^ x ' honest politician . He ( Mr R . ) had been csndemS for opposing Mr O'Connell , but the opinion he K formed of the public character of that indivirfn , they would also form if they read the evidence J £ did not ehufc their eyes against glaring inowwfateMr iL .

knayea gning men , but truth and justice put in golden vessels , no honest men wil l turn ftm their lips . ^ Mr Glass ( an EnglishmnD ) said , he hailed with delight tha rapid strides made by the Confederation throughout Ireland , England , America , and the colonies . It at once showed tbat their principle ] were appreciated . The Confederation had acaroelv been in existence twelve months , and with all the prejudice and the physical force of the Old Irelanderj of Dublin , Cork , Liraeriok , and the bull-dogs of Belfast , brought to bear against them , they were still triumphantly rising in public opinion .
Messrs Scott , M Sweeney , Hussey , and Hannon addressed the meeting , which then separated . The 'Davis'Club A numerous meeting of this club was held on Monday evening , at their lectureroom , 83 , Dean-street . Mr Fitzgerald ( vice presi . dent ) in the chair . Mr Loonky . read , the report of the proceeding o { the club since its formation . The report went on to state ' that . they had remitted to the Confederation injDubtin £ 10 . 63- 6 d ., and that they subscribed to the following journals—The Northern Star , Natioh , Cork Examihkk , Limbbick Reporter , Galwat Vij , dicator , Staffordshire AsrsBtiasit , Loxdox akb Livbbpooii Advertiser , & » ,., dbc , and that f ho thanks of the club were given to these journals for bavin ? L _ f .. _ a !___ a . - j . ? -fi aI . i . C from time to timeof the
^ given reportB , , proceeding of the London Confederates , by which means great good was done to the cause of Irish nationality [ We beg to state that we have retained the services of a gentleman for some time past , to report the proceedings of the metropolitan meetings of this body as onr journal shows . ] Articles were then read from the Natiok and Liubbick Reporter . The address ef the congregated trades of Limerick to J . O'Connell , on his late visit to 'the city of the violated treaty , ' was received with great disapprobation on being read , from its servile and cringing tone ; and the speech of ' the leader' met with much the same reception , The Confederates of London are not to beguiled by fine words and empty promises . They have had enough of them .
Mr T . Dalt , in an eloquent and argumentativa speech , said , he could not agree with Mr Jobs O'Connell that his youthful inexperience had led him to make charges against individuals , which , upon mature investigation , he fonnd were not true . The Times of that day hadca'ledMr J . O'Connell the fat little gentleman of thirty -five . So much , then , for youthful inexperience . It behoved tha Coafederation to t « very careful as to the terms en . tered into with the Conciliation Hall party , for a reconciliation . The principles of the Confederation must be kept intaot and inviolate—but he ( Mr D . )
thought ? that the letter of Mr O'Connell , in the Freeman ' s Joubnai ,, would act as a barrier to a reunion , &s it recommended logging in the priesthood . Mr O'Connell would find that he had a very small portion of that body with him . He begged to state to tbe meeting that the Confederation had purchased the Cork . Southern Reporter , and that there was every probability of a Confederate journal being started at Nenagh . He ( Mr Daly ) had been selected by the committee to proceed to Dublin , to be present at the meetings of the Confederation on the 11 th , 12 th , and 13 th of the present month . ( Locd cheers . )
Mr T . O'Mahonet then proceeded to address the meeting at great length , and in referring to the late memorable Repeal debate in Parliament , said , thej knew better than to treat Mr F . O'Connor as they did Mr Fagan , of Cork , for they were well aware he wns a practical debater and a tried man—( loud cheers )—and an honest one , too , which was followed by loud cheering . He should watch the conduct of parties with respect ; to a reconciliation . A re-uniea was very much required at the present time , but the principles of the Confederation must not be tampered with . ' No place-beggine , ' no government patronage—and to oblivion with the peace resolutions . Several ether gentlemen having addressed the ay sembly , the meeting then adjourned .

Wednesday morning a dreadlul occurrence took place in the work-room of Mr Ilolgato , iron-founder , Palestreet . A little boy , named Laws ^ n , was engaged holding a strap , which worked a large lathe , when the other end got entangled with the engine-wheel , the consequence of which was , that he was whirled round between the strap and tho wheel . His arms were torn completely out of their sockets , and his legs haying come in contact with the roof were broken in several places . A 3 soon as possible the unfortunate lad was extricated , and taken to the Northern Hospital .
Blackburn . —Effective Scaven 8 eiung . —Several of the principal thoroughfares of this town have , during the last few days , been subjected to a more effuetual cleansing process than any which they have ever before experienced . The water company , whose works are now almost completed , have been testing the efficiency of the fire plu ^ a and the condition of the maias , in different parts ; and , in doing so , have discharged a copious stream with a considerable portion of the immense power at their command , in an almost horizontal direction along tbe streets , stripping them of their mud covering much more effectually than could be done by an army of scavengers or a brigade of sweeping machines . The efficiency of this mode of cleansing is well worth the conside * ration of the improvement commissioners , with a view te its regular adoption .
