THE BAENSLEY MURDER : CONFESSION OF MITCHELL . John Mitchell , -who to convicted of the murder of Mr . Blackburn , near Barnsley , is stated to h * ye . conducted himself frith great propriety since the pinni ^ E of sentence . It will be seen , from the subjoined confession , that be vai net the actual perpetrator of the murder ; nor , if credence is to be given to the confession , tbat he did not go out with any intention of committing murder , or of aiding and abetting in murder ; -we would hope , therefore , that his life may be spared . Condemned Cell . March 2 * . 1841-SIlIMEST OF THE PSISO 3 « SB JOBS XITCHELL , Before John Holrtyd . Frederick Helroyd , and B . Livesey ,
On Monday , the 5 th October , I met ¦ with Cherry , and Hobinson , and Fox , at a Tillage called Smithies , near Barnsley . I met them -without appointment , or expectation of seeing either of them ; it was about ten o ' clock a . m .-when I met them . There was about to take place a foot-race , and I bad gone for the sole purpose of seeing it The names of the two perrons who were to ran were Sister and Brook . Bohinson asked me if I could let him bare 3 s . 6 d . I said I eotld not , as I had but Sid . in the wcrld . Robinson then said he would have some money before night 1 remained at Smithies until two o ' clock , r . % .., having formed there the company of a young woman named Toppings ; thare -was another young woman with her named Milliard . Myself and the two young women went into a house ocenpled by
one of their acquaintance , as it was very cold . We I remained in the house about half an hour , and then ' went ¦ without stopping to see the race . We returned , J all three together , in the direction of Barnsley , about i one and a half miles distant . We arriTed at Barnsley : about half-p * st two , P . M . I left the young woman , and went to my father ' s houre , my home , to get something to-eat I remained about a quarter of an hour , J y > fl then west out ; and on going down the principal j street besides the market-place , I met a person named I George Barlow . George Barlow offered to pay for a ' pint of ale , if I would go to Joan Winters public- j bouse , called the Boyal Oak . We then went together to that house , and had a pint of ale between us ,
which be paid for . We remained at this house aboutj three quarters of an hoar . We then went to another j public-heuse , called th » Duke of York ; and haying ¦ remained there about ten minutes , sod got one glass of j ale , I then left the Dnie of York , leaving George Barlowj in it . 1 then went up alone to a street of houses , called Taylor-row , and remained there , not in a house , about one hour , talking with one John Hilton , a weaver , i I then left him and went home again to my father ' s ! house . I got there at about fire o ' clock ; I got my tea | a&d irent out again , having been in -the house about ten ¦ minntes . I had agreed with the young woman , Deborah Topping , whom 1 had been with at Smithies , to meet ' her in the afternoon of that day . I went out from my ; father's house for the sole purpose of meeting her <
according to appointment 1 met her near what is called Barnsley Town End , about a mile from my | lather ' s house ; this would be about half-past five , p . m . j We then ( the young woman and myself ) sat down ' together upon some steps belonging to Jam-s Clemin-1 sen . We sat there about three quarters of an" hour . ¦ We then left that place and went down the street j tack again , and was about a quarter of an hour coming to Joshua Wrag 5 ' s shop ; just opposite this shep 1 met Robinson and Cherry ; the young woman , on hear- ' ing the young man say he wanted me , walked away ' immediately ; after this Robinson told me , in a great i hurry , that a man had been collecting some milk I money ,- he said the man would pass Crow-well-hill ,
¦ which is about mdf a mile from where we were > Robinson and Cherry told me to follow them . We all tinea ran in the direc ^ on of "Worsbro' ; Common , then passed Crow-well hill . When -we got to the Worsbre' Bars , the whole three of ' ns went on the New Bead , still running , and over a turnip field . I did not know where we were going , but followed them , as they said the man had some sioney abont him . When we got into the field in ; which Blackburn ' s house stands , though I did not at i the time know whose house it was , Cherry and myself stopped at the ham end ; Cherry then took np a piece Of wood , abont four feet long , it was a gate head . ¦ ' Cherry gave the gate bead to me , and said I was to j Jtrike the man with it When I got the gate head in i
my hands , I went to the gat # that leads into the yard l ol the house , or farm yard : Cherry yet stood at the ¦ barn end , where I had just left him . I was now about fight yards from Cfcerry . Cherry told me th&t Robin-, ' * on was putting up his hand for us . At this time 11 saw the girl that gave evidence against me at my trial , she was standing at the house door , I -was about from ; twenty to thirty yards frsm her . Cherry left me and went towards Robinson . Robinson was , at the time Cherry went away , standing upon the wall tgilnst the , lane which leads to the house . I saw iim there , he : was abont thirty yards from me . I immediately followed Cherry , and whilst I was following Cherry , 1 jaw Robinson upon tbe -wall with a stone in his hand , it appeared to be a larce stone . 1 sa ^ him at' the
SUUe time lift up both bis arms , as if in the act oi hurling something down from the wall where he ^ tood . I was then about eight yards from Robinson . I then saw Robinson jump from the wall into the lane , but before I had got on to the wall myself , I heard some * one say l : You d—d rascals . " I knew this was not the voice either of Robinson or Cherry ; from the wall 1 saw a scuMe between a man whom I did not knnw , and Robinson and Cherry . 1 saw Robinson and Cherry pull the man ' s feet from Tintier him , and the man fell down . T . then jumped from the -wall , and with the gate head in my hand , I struck the first man I came at . 1 intended to have struck the mnn I saw struggling with Robinson and Cherry . The height of the wall was about sis or seven feet The moment I jumped down I ti
struck at the first t ^ nearest me ; I f jund then that I hid struck at Robinson , for he said 1 had broken his arm . Robinson said I must carry him into the planting . 1 told him he might walk there . Robinson then went away in the direction of the planting ; Cherry ran in the direction of the pasture . It waa at this moment I saw a ptrson lying on the ground in the lane , with his hat off ; and I also saw the young woman mentioned before , and an elderly woman with her , with her cap on . Both the women screamed out several times , murder . I st » od a little , at about eight yards from the two women , terrified with my arms hanging down by my side . When I saw the two women coming towards me , 1 ran away . I ran towards the pasture gate of the field , besides the planting . I saw no -one
but Cherry before me as I ran ; before I got to the gate mentioned , I stumbled over some sticks and other obstructions in the lane that red to the pasture , and f ell . i immediately get Tip and got over the posture gate . 1 still saw Cherry running before me . 1 ran in the direction of the pasture gate , because I dare not go by the Barracks , thinking that the soldier on sentry might fire at me ; 1 should lave gone that way by the Barracks if it had not been for this dread of being shot I got into the field where Cherry was running , 1 overtook him crossing the Kew Road . We then went together , still running , until we came to Mr . Tee's fiah pond . We tien went to Knaresbro' Dyke , on the Doucaster roicL Here a person named Godfrey Hirsi case to rue , and seizing hold
of me , said I had been stealing apples . He wanted me to give him sonte ; I told him i ha 4 none . Hirst then left us . Cherry and I then went in the direction of Taylor Row ; before we got to Taylor Row I met a man , whom I fooad at the coroner ' s inquest was Henry Bali . We then went into the Red lAon , a pubik-tsouse at B&rnslc-y To-ra End -, aswe ¦ were staaUiBf at the entrance by the house , Cnerry and myself agr .-ed to fo and Beei Kobinson . We went to the Railway Tarrera , bat he was not there ; here I : had a small glass of ale . We here met Thomas Cherry , ' the brother » f John Cherry , acd George Barlow . John Cherry asked Thomas Cherry if Robinson had been '¦ there ; he said he did not knaw . We all four of us ! then went o « t , and went on the Doncaster Road
towards the Butchers' Arms' public-house ; but we did j not go in . A-t the entrance of this house I saw Fox ! in the stret * , and he joined xs ; I had not seen him ( Fox ) sines the morning -at the daj \ Fox and I ' tben -went to a public-boose tept by a person named F « wy Aubery , leaving the two Cherrys and Barlow in the street . We got a pint of ; ale at Vtmrj Aubery '«_; and after this was drank Fox ordered a pint of milk of a young man in the house ; he got the milk and drank it I then paid for a pint of -ale with the 2 id . I had by me . Here Robinson and John Cherry joined " - Robinson sat
down an * toW me r nad brefcen bis arm . He stripped '¦ his coat off and showed tre his inn ; it had a swelling above tbe elbow the sizs of an egg . I told him to go '¦ and get it sefc * nd I -would piy for it In * the Momiiig . ¦ We then agreed to have * eme chfcese . and bread , and ' John Cherry went ont to . toy some .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesbat , March 30 . Tbe Committee appoint ** to try tbe me-its of the petition against the return of Mr . Gladstone for the borough of Walsall reported that that gentleman was duly elected , but that wither the petition aor the opposition to it were frivolous or vexatious . The committee further reported that there prevailed a general system of treating at the last election at vr&lsaii , but there wag no satisfactory evidence to connect it with the sitting member . The CHASCELLOBof the Exchequer , in reply to a questwn from Sir R . Peel , said he would make bis financial statement for the yesr on Friday , tbe 30 th of ApriL
Mr . PaK . ixgt . ox then rose , pursuant to notice , to move that a . select committee should be appointed to inquire into the state of the colony of Newfoundland . The Hon . Member , as the groundwork of his motion , stated that the population of Newfoundland amounted to from 75 , 00 * to £ 0 , 000 persons , who were nearly equally divided into Protestants and dtbolics . He did not mean to find fault with the Government for having conferred a constitution on the colony , though , for his own part , he thought it was prematurely givttn ; and it was rather a singular fact that the very persons who were formerly most anxious for that constitution , were Tery many of them now most desirous to have it abolished . The elections in the colony had been attended by serious rioting . At St . John ' s the elections cauld not be concluded at all without military intervention . To such an extent haa these outrages been carried , that the governor , wken opening the session last January , had expressed doubts as to whether the colony was yet in a fit state to r-. ceive a legislative system .
Lord J . RVS 5 EIL would not oppose the motion , though he had not himself thought it necessary to propose a committee of inquiry . He would not deny that ser ious disturbances had taken place , nor was he prepared to state to the House the means by which Government proposed to remedy the existing evils . At a future time he would propose them to the House , whatever might be the opinion of the committee . He could not think that they had prematurely granted a constitution to Newfoundland , for the govsrnor of the colony had stated that it had rapidly improved in many respects under that constitution . He was , therefore , unwilling to abolish the constitution , nor could he have much faith in a House of Commons which showed itself too ready V ) do away with representative government . After some observations from Mr . Humje and Mr . J . O'CoxyBi . 1 ., the motion was agreed to .
The House having resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill , the consideration of clause 16 was resumed . Mr . Colqvhou ^ moved a provision , to the effect that in all these combined parish or union schools a chaplain should be appointed to regulate and superintend the instruction of the children , except those children were of a religion other than that of the established church , whose parents , or whose godfather or godmother , might object to their being instructed in the tenets of the established church , in Which case it should be lawful tiut a licensed minister of the religion of the parents should visit tbe schools at certain hours to be appointed , to teach that religion to the children- Provided also , that such chaplains should be appointed by th « board of management , with the cocsent of the bizhop « f the diocese , and receive such salary as the Poor Law Commissioners should think proper .
Dr . LUSHiSGTO * felt confident that the appointment of these chaplains was actually necessary , though he did feel some reluctance at thro wing any additional burdens on the Dissenters for the purpose of educiting children in a religion to which they were opposed . He thought , however , that the Dissenters themselves would rather see theSe children educated in the principles of the Established Church , than that their education should be entirely secular . He was of opinion that the exception contained in the preposition of the Hon . Member was by no means broad enough . Suppose three or four orphans were thrown into these schools , who » e parents and forefathers bad for
centuries been Catholics , and suppose those children to have already imbibed some of the principles of tbat religion , it would , in his opinion , be a violation of the first principles of religions liberty to bring up children under such circumstances in the religion of tke Established Church . The Hon . Member confined his exception to tbe patents , or to the godfather and godmother ; but surely an uncle or aunt , or other relative , would be as well entitled to interfere . He had instanced the case of Catholic orphans , but the sane reasoning wonld apply to the orphan children of Baptists or Independents , or , indeed , those of any other religious persuasion .
Lord Tkigsmouth contended that children , to whose relatives their religion was a » atter of indifference , should be brought up in the tenets of tbe Established Church . Lord San DOS suggested tbat if the clause was so framed as to give the power of objection to children being brought np in the religion of the Established Chnrch to parents and natural guardians , instead of godfathers and godmothers , the difficulty would be obviated . Mr . H . JTVES contended that the effects of this clause would be to place the edncation , not only religious but secular , of all these children in tbe hands ef the clergy of the Established Church . As the payment of these chaplains ¦ would come out of the poorrates , to which the Dissenters so largely contributed , he thought they would never be reconciled to it He protested against the clause , and should give it every opposition .
Lord J . Rcssell was of opinion that , without some modification of the clause , they would run the risk of giving too great power to the chaplains over tbe secular edncation of the children in tbese schools . XIr . La > 'GDaLE suggested the addition of some words to protect a child of twelve or thirteen years of age , who might already have received some knowledge of the principles of a religion , not being tbat of the Established Church-Mr . Ward suggested the postponemeat of the clause , in order to give time to have it properly framed in order to meet the « bjeetk > ns which bad been wged . Mr . Ber > -al said the clawe , in its present position , < ou ! d not be postponed .
Mr . Blackstoke observed tbat , in that case , he would rather have the clause rgected altogether . The question was , he thought . to « important to be introduced incidentally in a BiH for the continuance of the Foor Law Commission . Mr . T . Egeeton could not see why these chaplains should not be paid without ¦ ebjection , upoa the same principle as chaplains ot prisons were paid , - # at of the county rate . After some fortber di » ca * aior > , the amendment of iir . Colquhoun w ± * canied , by a majority of 119 t » 32 . The ChaiemaX tben f » t tbe question , that the ¦ clause stand part of the Bill , n £ > on -which Mr . Paekkb . said , he « bsuld oppost tbe clause altogether . Mi . Grimsditch waa also-eaposed U the . elause , Mr . Wakley was < d opinion that all theaatters relating to the education < of "tiie ^ uldren should be made the .- ( abject of a separate BilL
The House divided « . poa th » original motion , upon which the clause was canied by a majori » of 141 to 35 . Coknel Sibthobp moved the omission of « the irth clause , but on a division it waseatried by a majority ol liitoiZ . Tbe IStb chose being proposed , Colonel Sibthobp moved tkatihe Cbafrm * u . should report pro&reu , upon which the Caamitte * divided , and the Gallant Colonel '! matioa wasasgatived by majority of l * S to 18 . Colonel Sibthokf spoke of the importance . of the clause , aad said it was unfair to brass Member * by forcing its consideration upon them at so late an hour of the night
Lord Johk Russell gave way , xa&jbe f 3 inirm » n accordingly reported progress , and obtained leave to ait again on Thursday . -

FROM OUR SECOND EDITION OF LAST WEEK . ? FROM OVR LONDON COBBESCOKDEKT . London i Thursday Evening , Mareh 2 B , Quarter to Seven . Ccct News , ixd Commercial Review . — -The arrival , this morning , of the new President ' s inaugural address to the Chambers , has greatly relieved the public anxiety , as the hostile tone ot the American statesmen had been succeeded by a more friendly bearing towards ibis country . It IB D . 0 W generally believed that Mr . M'Leod will be gives up by the State of New York , and thus the danger of an immediate rapture will be avoided . The news is looked upon as verv favourable in the City ; and Consols have risen nearly J per cent on it : but the market is very sensitive , being in&Qenced by some
large accounts in options , which hand over the jobbers , and compel them to buy or sell rashly on every change of circumstance , to defend themselves from the risk of any large fluctuation in prices . Yesterday they Bold stock upon this ground , and to-day they are all anxious to buy it back again ; but money is quite " easy" # to-day , and gold arrives largely from the Continent . In the commercial markets there has been very little business done ; the public sales yesterday having gone off heavily , aud those of to-day having manifested but a very slight improvement : on each occasion , a part oaly of the goods put up were disposed of ; the deliveries of tea , both fur home use and exports , are , however , very large , and the stock is fast reducing . The following are the closing prices of the Funds : — Consols , 88 J ; ditto for account , 88 |; New Three and a Half per Cents , 971 ; Exchequer Bills , 4 s . to 6 s .
prea . Bdrglariks , * c , in the City . Yesterday morning , about one o ' clock , a man , answering the description of the mate of a vessel , entered the Cogers ' -hall Tavern , Bride-lane , Fleet-street , and having engaged a bed , retired to rest . Two hours after he was observed by the landlord ( Mr . Ashton ) to enter his bed-room , when , on speaking to him , be stammered out in reply , that " he was anxious to find his way down stairs . " On rising , Mr . Ashton
discovered that about £ 5 , in gold and silver , together with a box belonging to the " Sons of the Thames , " which contained cash , the amount of which is not at present known , had beea stolen from his room during the night ; and on further inquiry little doubt remained , as to the above individual being the perpetrator of the rubbery , as he had absconded . During the night , the Crown Tavern , Fleet-street , kept by Mr . Ferrell , was also broken open , and cash to the amount of £ 25 stolen , * but no clue whatever hat been gained as to the perpetrators .
Finsbury Working Men * s Association . —ThiB association held its weekly meeting last night ; when the report of the committee was read , from which it appeared that the receipts for the quarter amounted to £ i 3 s . 8 d ., and the expenditure to £ 5 13 s . T . Jd . Th $ society bad also purchased a quantity of furniture for their use ; an excellent library had also ' been formed , and a reading and meeting room kept constantly opan during tbe quarter . The report having been e'seived , it was resolved that the subscription should henceforth bo reduced to threepence pet week , and that a room should be engaged at the Magnet Coffee House , 48 , Drury Lane , for the future weekly meetings of the society . Mr . James Hoppey was re-elected secretary ; Mr . Durant , treasurer ; and Messrs . Moore , Norman , Gibbs , and Baldwin , committee men . Collecting books for the Easter Monday Victim Fund were ordered to be issued by the secretary .

Umtkp States . —The news from the United States , brought by the Patrick Heury , is exceedingly pacific . Th » Patrick Henry sailed on the Stb , andon the 3 d , the steam ship President arrived with despatches from Lord Palmerston to Mr . Fox , British Minister at Washington , the contents of which were the subject of general speculation throughout tbe Union . The report abroad was , that the British Government had authorised Mr . Fox to demand the immediate release of Mr . M'Leod , and in the event of a refusal , to demand his passports and quit the country . This report , however , does not seem to rest on any sure foundation . It is one of the countless conjjetures of many-tongoed rumour . Mr . M'Leod vras still a prisoner at Lockport , but
tke Government were about to order his removal to Albany , the capital ot the State of New York , where less excitement prevailed , and where , if tried , there would be , at least , a chance of his finding an impartial Jury . On the first instant , Mr . Buchanan , the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations , brought the question of the relations between Great Britain and the United States under tho notice of the Senate . The speeches of the Hon . Senators , and of Mr . Clay , who took part in the discussion , form a gratifying contra-t to the intemperate report of Mr . Pickens to the House of Assembly . We quote from the report of the proceedings , contained in the New York Courier and Inquirer , the
foilowing brief extracts , which shew beyond question the pacific disposition of the American senators , in a debate on the 1 st of this month . Mr . Buchanan said , he was instructed by the Committee on Foreign Relations , to aove to be discharged from the consideration of the resolution which had been referred to that Committee , " requesting the President to communicate to the Senate , if not incompatible with the public interest , any correspondence which may have taken place between this Government and that of Great Britain , relative to the north-eascern boundary , not heretofore communicated to the S * nate . " He stated that , as a Convention had been agreed upon between the two countries , for the settlement of the long-disputed
boundary question , and as there was a high state of mutual irritation along the borders , and there was danger of imminent collision , the interests of both parties demanded the adoption of such treaty stipulations as would make an end of the question . Although he would not pretend to say that there were no omens of war in the conduc , of the British Government on our northern frontier yet this he should assert , with much confidence , that in the negotiation itself relative to our north-eastern boundary , nothing had occurred , inconsistent with the Bincere and anxious desire which bad always bten professed by that Govnnnnent to preserve the
peace which now so happily subsisted between the two countries , and ta bring the question to a final and satisfactory conclusion . Mr . Clay gave it as his decided opinion that the state of the difference between the two-countries was not such as to require a special minister . The Minister resident there would be able to do all that was necessary in the premises withoutdifficulty , and he thought without delay . After all ( eaid Mr . Clay ) I have not yet begun to think of the possibility of any immediate war with Great Britain ; that time has not arrived yet . But however distant it may be , I would relax no effort to place the country in a proper state of defence . He looked to the absence of all means of
floating defence , steam batteries , &c , with the deepest concern . He thought the Government should apply all Us energies to place the country in-such a state of defence as would prepare it to meet any possible exigency that might ariso . Mr . Clay expressed his belief that both Governments desired peace ; that it was essential to the interests of each ; and that it' war did come , it would not be from the will of the Government , but from collateral causes , over which they would have no controul . The Committee was then discharged , according to the motion of Mr . Buchanan . Trial op Josiah Misters tfob . Attempt to Murder . —Our readers will recollect the
circumstances attending the attempt , by a young man named Misters , to murder Mr . Mackreth , a commercial traveller , at the Angel Inn , Ludlow , in August last . The trial of Misters took place at Shrewsbury Aestes , or Tuesday last , before Mr . Baron Gurney , when , after the examination of a great number of witnesses for the prosecution , he was fouad guilty , aud sentenced to death . The trial lasted from Dine o ' clock in th « morning until eight in the evening . Tie prisoner is described as a young man of intelligent , prepossessing , gentlemanlike appearaooe . The . prisoner evince * much emotion upon hearing the « rdict , which he seemed hardly to have expected . He covered Juis face with his hands , asd shed tears . Upon being called upon in the usual ferm , he said , in a low , determined tone , "Uaatt guilty . "

In my opinion , the Charter ia the meanB which eh » U bring about this wished for reformation ; then let Irishmen and Englishmen join hand in hand in this noble scheme . Let your missionaries come ever and roufie the spirit of liberty , which is nearly hashed asleep for want of energetic means , or for want of true patriotism in the leaders of the people . Why should Ireland lie dormant ,. when such numbers are adding to your ranks in Britain in general I If you depute a speaker to this corner of onr Island , you will find some who would enrol their names in your list , aad get organised ; and perhaps the U » mem » v spread over our beloved country , and then , ere long , she shall bo free .

Why should the two-thirds and upwards of ova fellow-countrymen be deprived of their elective franchise 1 Because they are poor . Why should the two-thirds » f the working classes , I may say the seven-eighths of the working classes in our boroughs , be deprived likewise ! Because they -don't occupy ten pound houses , or because they are poor . Why it there so much corruption at elections ? Because the people in general are poor , and are glad to catch a few pounds from the men who catch it all from them . Because our country is poor , all sorts of degradation must come upon us . But who makes it poor ! It is the Squire , the Lord , the Marqui « , the Earl , the Duke , the Baron , the Peer , the Rector , the Bishop , & « ., Ac .

Murdee at Norwood . —On Wednesday morning , a very extraordinary and painful sensation was felt at Norwood , in consequence of the discovery of the murder of a female , who it appears was a married woman , about 36 years of age , and of very creditable connexions . From inquiries made respecting the shocking occurrence , the following particulars have been collected , -which may be relied on as authentic : —The name of the unfortunate deceased is Elizabeth Winks . She was housekeeper to Mr . RoupelJ , a merchant residing in Blackfriars-road , who has also a country house in tbe vicinity ot Brixton . The husband of the deceased was al . " , o in the same gentleman ' s service . On Tuesday the deceased left her master ' s residence in town
to visit her father and other relations , who reside at Brixton . She was accompanied by her daughter . They left , it appears , about niue o ' clock in tho evening to return home . On the following morning ( Wednesday ) about six o ' clock , as Sergeant Taylor , of the r division of police , was going his rounds between Streatham and Norwood , he discovered tho body of a female lying on the grass at the end of one ef the lanea , within a few yards of a pond . She was not dead , but in an expiring state . It was evident that the unfortunate woman had been brutally maltreated , as her clothes wer « dragged nearly over her head . There were appearances of severe bruises about her person , fully proving that she had been struggling
with one or more parties . The grass where she lay also fully demonstrated that a violent struggle had taken place , as if the poor woman had contended with her brutal aggressor to prevent being thrown into the pond , which was only distant a few yards from where she was discorerod by ( he serjeant of police . The situation she was found in is very lonely , and the only alternative Taylor , the police serjeant , had was to run for additional assistance , which he did without loss of timo , returning to the spot with several of his brother constables , at which time the deceased still continued to breathe . She was conveyed to the Horns , at Norwood , where a surgeon was promptly in attendance , but the unfortunate woman expired on her way to the house . The father
of the deceased states that she left hiB house on Tuesday night , perfectly sober and comfortable . He cannot account for her being found at Norwood , which was nearly two miles from his house ; nor was he at all able to give information respecting the murder of his uafortunato child . What is most extraordinary is , that the deceased ' s daughter has cot yet been discovered . Yesterday several hundreds of persons visited the spot where the unfortunate woman was discovered . Information of tho circumstance was forwarded to Mr . Elyard , the magistrate , residing at Streatham , who has been very active in his exertions to irace the perpetrator of the murder . The surgeon who has examined the
body of the deceased has given his opinion that her death was the result of violence . Great suspicion is attached to tbe husband of the deceased , and a warrant has been issued for his apprehension . The police are also actively engaged in obtaining all the information they can respecting the mysterious and dreadful occurrence . The deceased has been five years in Mr . Roupell ' ti service , aad was much respected . The body lios at the Horna , Norwood . Information of the circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Carter , Coroner for Surrey , who has appointed the inquest to take place to-morrow ( Saturday ) . When tho deceased was discovered , 17 s . were ( bun d on her person , and other trifling property . It is expected that the whole of the circumstances connected with the horrid affair will be developed in the course of the inquest . Up to last evening , the excitement at Norwood , and'the surrounding districts , waa very great , anxiety being manifested by all olasses ot ' persons to discover the author of the atrocious act .

Lengthorn , the B . ack Bear Inn , Kirkgate , before John Blackburn , Esq , ou view of tho body of George Tighe , a stranger in L' : eds , who , from all that can . be gathered concerning him , cornea from SunderJand , or that neighbourhood . He was a tailor by trade , and to all appearance from fifty-five to sixty years of age . He had with him a little girl , five years of age , and it would appear that he and his wile had lived for some time separate—ahe working at Ripon , and he tramping about the country . Why he should have a child so young with him is a mystery . His appearance exhibits traces of excessive destitution . The
following evidence was given : — Robert Whitehead , of Little Woodhouse—Met deceased last night near the Beckett ' s Arms , on Wellington-road . There were three or four others standing with him , and I stopped from curiosity ; he had a little girl with him ; this was after eleven o ' clock . I offered to go to the Vagrant Office with him , but a watchman said it waa too late ; I then offered to pay for lodgings for him ; we came into Kirkgate ; and a young man took us to the Old Infirmary Yard , where I left him , after paying for his bed . I asked him several questions , but he gave me no answer ; I could not get anything from him at all . The little girl told me that her mother lived had been out all the
at Ripon , and said they previous night . My impression waa that he was in liquor . The little girl said her father cared nothing about her , and he often " wished she was dead . " His answers to me appeared perfectly rational . I have not seen him since I left him at the lodging hous « , about a quarter to twelve o ' clock last night . George Crossland , 33 , Old Infirmary-yard , deposed that he kept a lodging house , and that deceased slept there last night ; the little girl told him that her mother worked in a linen factory at Ripon ; he appeared to be sober , and slept in a room by himself ; he got up between seven and eight this morning . Deceased aaid he was making his way to R'pon . ' . . _ ' ... ..:. ' . „ . Kirk

I bad some conversation with him ; he had the child on his back , and said he had been walking all night . He said he was a native of Stockport , and his wife was at Ripon . He said he had had nothing to eat since the previous morning , neither had he any money to get anything . with . I took him to a coffee-shop , and gave him 6 a . to get his breakfast with . From the conversation I had with him , I thought he was very low-spirited . He refused to tell his age , or to Bay why he hadleft his wife . "
This being the only evidence that could be adduced , the Coroner . briefly summed up . and left it to the Jury to eay whether or no they thought the deceased was of sound of unsound mind . . : On the foreman taking the sense of his brother Jurors on the subject , one sapiently remarked he had no doubt of his insanity , but he thought they ought to ascertain , whether or not . hi * poverty was the cause of bis being insane ; and so deteMbined waa he on this point , that the Jury thought it necessary to retire . On their return , in a few minutes , a verdict was returned " That the deceased destroyed himself during a fit of temporary insanity . "

~~ ^_ FROM THE LONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY . NORTHERN CIRCUIT . LANCASTER , Wednesday , March 24 . < rown side . ( Before Mr . Justice Maule . J Richard Boothman , James Wilkinson , Thomas liiley , and Henry Ridehalgh , were put to the bar to take their trial upon an indictment , which charged them , in the first count , with the wilful murder of Joseph Hal stead , at Colne , in this cosnty , on the 12 th of August last . A second count charged Boothman with the murder , and the other prisoners with aiding and abetting him . Dr . Brown , Mr . Holton , and Mr . Stansfeld , conducted the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins appeared for Boothman and Wilkinson ; and Mr . Athe&ton for the other two prisoners .
Dr . Brown , in stating the case to the Jury , said their attention would be directed to three material points—1 . Whether the deceased came to his death in the manner alleged . 2 . Whether the circumstances of the case were such as to amount to murder . 3 . Whether the prisoners or any of them were the parties . About a ween before the occurrence serious disturbances had tr . ken place in the town of Colne , and the magistrates thought it necessary to send for the military , who remained from Friday the 9 th to Sunday the 11 th of August . Ou the evening of Monday , the 12 th , the magistrates received information which induced them to swear in seventy special constables , among whom was the deceased , a respectable tradesman of the town . In the evening a mob paraded the streets . The Riot Act
was read several times at different places , and the magistrates and constables , with a tew police , proceeded along the streets . When they got to Cross-street , they separated into parties , aact went different ways . Soon after , a great noise was heard iu Cross-street , and a report of fire-arms . A rattle was sprung , and the police went in that direction , when it was discovered that a man had been killed , who proved to be the deceased . The Learned Counsel wen stated the nature of the evidence by which he proposed to bring home the charge to the prisoners , saying that only on « of them could be proved to have struck the deceased , but that the others would be shown to be there with such a common purpose as would render them amenable to the law for the consequences which had happened .
Mr . Wood , a magistrate , residing near Colne , said , that for a week previous to the event under investigation , the town had been in a very excited state . On Monday , the 12 th of August , the town was full of people , and the magistrates thought it advisable to swear in seventy special constables , of whom the deceased was one ; truncheons were delivered to them , and they went on duty about halfpast nine •' clock . There were also tw « nty-3 even of the county police . The whole body went to the toll-bar at the east end of the town , whv re witness read the Riot Act . About two hundred persons were present . He also read the Riot Act
in the market at Windebank and another place . They then proceeded down various streets . At the top of Clayton-street , they heard a rattle sprung in the direction of Cross-street . They went there . Witness taw a mob , and heard a noise as if iron instruments were dashed against each other . There was » discharge of fire-arms . He heard the expressions "Be firm . Come on . Dash at them !" A shower of stouea came , and drove the magistrates and constables from their position into the maiustreet , where they were followed by the mob , shouldering bludgeons , and walking four abreast . The military were then sent for .
Cross-examined—When the Riot Act was read , the special constables set up a shout . They had no refreshment before starting . The night was dark . The deceased was a resolute courageous man , and occasionally took his cups in an evening . Henry Segar , landlord of the King s Head inn , deposed that on the morning after the riot he found the New Church had been broken open , aud many of the ironrails were gone ; fourteen or fifteen were found about 180 yards from the house of Jacob Hawks worth , in Cross-street . They were about a yard and a half long , an inch in diameter , and had spear heads . James Wild , one of the special constables , accompanied the deceased till they got to the house of Jacob Hawkavvorth , in Cross-street . The mob had spiked iron rails . Witness was struck at with an iron bar , but was not hit . He ran away , and went home . The deceased was then standing on Hawksworth's door step .
Jacob Hawksworth lives in Cross-street . About ten o ' clock that night he heard a noise , and he and his wife got out of bed and went to the window . There was fighting with weapons opposite his house . He saw two swords and some hand-bludgeons . They fought with tha police and sptcial constables as hard as they could for about three minutes . Four or five struck at a man who was down at his door steps . One said , ** D—n him , kill him ;" another said , "No , don't kill him r" another said , " Yes , we'll kill him . " After this , they went towards Clayton-street , when a boy called "Lads , lads , come back , here ' s the police I" The mob came back , and there was another very severe engagement near the top of Clayton-street . The mob got the better .
On cross-examination , this witness said he had stated that they had not got a man there who they could prove to be " a kill . " Joseph Snowden saw the body lying after the first fight , and he and a Mr . Holdroyd tried to remove it . but could not . The face was covered with blood , and part of the braics were out . Job Harrison was one of the constabulary force . He saw a man standing bare-headed at Jacob Hawk 8 worth's steps . ¦ One stepped out of the crowd and struck the man on the top of the head with a sqaure iron bar . Witness thea retreated , and was followed by the maa who struck the blow . They eoon metfifceeu or twenty of tha police , when
the man ran back and joined in the fight . Witness afterwards saw him in the custody of Sergeant John M'Donald . The prisoner Boothman was the man . William Henderson , a policeman , also spoke to the identity of tho prisoner Boothman . He admitted that they had orders to charge the mob . John M ' Donald , sergeant of police , noticed the prisoner Boothman in the mob , endeavouring to escape , and apprehended him . Witness did not see him strike the blow , or see any part of tbe fight . The cap which Boothman was said to have worn was then produced . This closed the evidence as against Boothman in particular .
The evidence against Wilkinson was , that he was seen by a min named Fowles , in Cross-street , running away , when a policeman struck him on the neck , but did not capture him ; andv ia consequence of this information , John Aseuith , constable of Colne , went to the house of Wilkinson ' s father , at Windebank , between three and four o ' clock on the Tuesday morning , where he and two others were found in bed . He had a clean shirt on . On searching the house , a wet jacket and shoes , and a waistcoat stained with blood , were ftund , and on the roof
of the house outside was a shirt , the bosom of which was bloody . He was taken into custody by a policeman named Wood , to whom , on the way to the House of Correction , he said he should not have done it if the man had not sent him to prison for two months for playing at football . Evidence waa then put in to shew that in the Jauary previously he had been convicted and imprisoned for two calendar months , under the malicious trespass act , on tho complaint of the deceased .
The evidence against the other two prisoners , Riley and Rid « halgh , went to show they were present in the fray , but did not fix them with any specific act immediately connected with the deceased . The iron rails found were all round , not square . At the close of the case for the prosecution , Mr . Atherton submitted to the Court that there was no case to go to the jury against Riley and Ridehalgh , and his Lordship being of that opinion , they were acquitted without being called upoa for their defence . Mr . WiMcixs then addressed the Jury on behalf of Boothman and Wilkinson , and his Lordship having summed up the evidence , the Jury , after a considerable retirement , returned a verdict of Guilty against Boathman , and acquitted Wilkinson . The awful sentence of the law was then passed upon the former .
Wilkinson , Riley , and Ridehalgh were then arraiR *» etr upon , and pleaded Guilty to , aa indictment char # » ig them with a riot , and were sentenced , Wiliianou to eighteen months ' , and the other two to twelve calendar months ' , imprisonment and hard Jabowv
