MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A RESPECTABLE FEMALE , AT HENRIEXTASTREET . BATH . Bath h&s been thrown into a state of very great excitement for the last two days , in consequence of its having been discovered that a Mrs . Parsons , a most respectable femaie , residing at No . 33 , Henrietta-street , Bath , had been murdered . Suspicion having fallen upon the husband , he was immediately taken into custody to await the Coronor ' s inquest , which commenced on Monday , and was continued by adjournment , Tuesday and Wednesday , at the honse of the deceased .
Fram the evidence adduced , it appeared that the deceased and the prisoner had lived on ill terms together for some years ; they seldom spoke , and had not slept together for seven years . They werft respectable lodging-house keepers . They were at the timo of the murder without- a servant , and a charwoman who had been acting as servant to them for a few davs , had gone home , leaving the window of a washhouse open sufficiently wide to admit a person through , and leaving onlj Mr . and Mr . Parsons at home . — This was about six o ' clock on Friday evening . Between ssven and eight o ' clock the same evening , a female in the neighbourhood was alarmed by groans appearing to come from the kitchen , and
while she and another woman were rinsing the bell at the front door , and otherwise vainly endeavouring to obtain admission , the prisoner came down she street . They informed him of the groanivs , and went with him into the house , where they "found the deceased lying in the kitchen , in an obJiqie direction from the fire , with a large pool of coapulated blood under her head ; there was blood ¦ under She grate among the cinders , and at the side of the fire-place there were marks of blood , as if it had been smeaied wkh it ; ihere were no marks of biood on the hook at the time he saw it ; there was the grate window under the grate with a few aiark 3 of blood on it . The poker was afierwards found with blood , hair , and some skin adhering to it .
It appeared from the examination of the surgeon that the skull was fractured in several places , and large pieces of bone forced into th ? substance of the brain . There were other bruises also on the arm , &c . The poker had been applied to the marks on some of these , and found to correspond . Parsons deDied all knowledge of how his wife had come into that condition , stating th&t he bad been out walking more than half an hour , and that it must have ocenrred in his absence . A man named Tucker , going by the house about half-past seven o ' clock , saw a bit of a sc&fflo between & man and a woman going on in the kitchen ,
and thought it was a man and the servant . Heard the woman say , " Oh ! don ' t . " Thought the woman cried Murder , " but was not rare of it . Thought they bad been scofling for some time , for the Woman ' s voice seemed faint . The man had a dark coat on . Went away after about three minutes , leaving them still scuffling . They were not in his sight all the time he was there . The man appeared to have the best of it . He kept the woman up in the right-hand corner , near the fire-place . Witness thought it was the servants of the house playing , and went down the street laughing . Thought the man was taking improper liberties with the woman .
A verdict of " Wilful Mnrder" was returned , and the prisoner was committed for trial .

THE STAFFORD VICTIMS . TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . BBOXHEB Chabtists , —We . ; the Delegates publicly appointed by our respective localities , to see to the eating and drinking business of the Tiottms in Stafford Gaol , and also their wives and families , beg to inform you that the Victims' Fund is in a very low state , so much so , that we have been obliged to relinquish support of the victims , and their families receive a poor miserable pittance . Brethren , it is for yon to say whether the victims , with their wires and families should pine in want and misery . RemembeT their sufferings for Our cause , and the district from whence they are taken is unable to lend much assistance , as the neighbourhood ib composed almost exclusivelyof colliers who are on strike— - SO 000 of them having left the district to subsist upon casual charity .
Brethren , the Star has recommended 6 d . from each locality , which sum would give tbe victims something te eat , and place their families in comparative comfort ' . ' : Brethren , the victims have a claim upon yon j will you respond ? Were you plaoed in their condition , would you not think it bard to be left to starve ? How loni ? you may be at liberty God only knows . AROUSE then , AROUSE ! AWAKE to ENERGY and let the captives see that yon have hearts to feel and sympathise with those who are su&erisg for oar emancipation . ;
Instant relief Is requisite . The authorities at Stafford will not allow any food brought for tbe victims unless we can support them altogether . Will you then allow Mason and bis brave comrades to Btarve upon bread and water ? We anticipate that yon will respond , and that immediately . Signed by order or the Delegates , A . FvssEth , Chairman . P . S . All monies to be sent to Mr . Cook , Dadley .

mi * . . - ¦¦; . .... ••¦ ; TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOBTHERN STAR . SIR , —I write to inform you that all roand the Tillages and places in and about Wolverhampton is quiet , tbonga we have got fresh reinforcements of military . The colliers are suffering much ; they are very quiet and very orderly . Soveral colliers have passed through guarded by dragoons from Brierfy Hill and Dadley way . - ' ¦ ¦ ,. '¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ : _ - . . ' . ¦ ¦ . - . '¦ ¦ . - Coal is very scarce and flear , £ 1 to £ 1 4 s . per ton * Our brave colliers will yet trfumph . und ere ten days shall have passed , the men will Lave their four abiilinga . Tie magistrates have stopped them from begging , but a great many cave gone out to . harvest work , and they are drawing the money out of their clubs and helping each other as much as possible . Linney is doing Wfcll and working hard at Bilston and iU localities ; but he labom-3 too mucu for bis health .
The insertion cf the following by the request of the Wolverhampton Council and friends will greatly oblige : — " it is with regret that we inform our Chartist friends that Mr . H . Candy , who , since his return to Wolverhampton , which is nearly four months , has zealously persevered in tb . 9 cause , and night a £ ter night , after . the labour and toil cf bis work , he has delivered lectures on each Sunday , generally three times . Since poor ilason ' a incarceration , he has laboured more ardently . Bis meetings of late have been from four
to six thousand people , nnd at times more . He has been mainly instrumental in preserving the peace of the t 9 wn of Wolverhampton ; the colliers will almost do anything for bitn . Wliat ' S the rtiult ? that some of the moat influential shopkeepers are using means to $ *• t his employer to discharge him ; and from his great exertions—baving delivered upwards of sixty lectures—h « is now uufit for work , for he is sufitiring severely from a violent vomiting of bloofl , which at fir-t was thought the rupture of a vessel . It has produced feyer and inSiination of the longs . He is required to take great care .
" Now Candy belongs to no club ; his wife has been lying ill in the Potteries , little chance , if ever she recovers ; and we believe a more honest or straightforward Chartist cannot be be found . Four years and better he has been battling in the cause of freedom . " We wish you to make an appeal in hU behalf , fox if he goes to a bastile it will break his heart , therefore we sincerely hope every true Chartist will contribute a B ) ite , so that we may get him round again . We believe he gave satisfaction while iu tbe Yorkshire and other districts , therefore , dear Sir , we trust yon will do your best . Yours , respectfully , J . Wilcox , Secretary , Wolrerhampton , Wednesday .

SUNDEEIjAHD . ——Lectures on the Sab-BiTH .-r-Mr . Charles Larkiri has recently delivered two most able and eloquent leotures on the Sabbath question at Sunderlarid . In the second lecture ho completely demolished the false assumptions of the Sabbath-monger , and shewed that the Christian Sunday originated from causes and for purposes quite different from the JewishSiibbath . The former , in fact , had no legal existence until three centuries after the Christian era , and it was devoted at first , partly to religion and partly to retreation and
leastins ; . Mr , Larkin astonished many by describing the difF rent enactment' ? that had prevailed in England for the observance of Sunday , and the contrast between the puritaniiical Sabbath of the Commonwealth , and the Sunday in Qaeen Elizabeth ' s time , was bold , striking , and amusing . These lectures have dealt a severe blow to the / bigotry and ignoranco of the Sabbath-obKeryance saints ; many who heard them will now be satisfied , that in spending the Sunday so as to prcmoie their health , recreation , mental improvement , and enjoyment , they are spend * ing it as itoufsht to be , aud as it was at firat spent .
Death op a Child from Starvation . —A melancholy event occurred on Saturday last , at BiBhopwearmouthr ^ the death of a young child under circumsUnces which led to a suspicion that it had died from , starvation . A Coroner ' s iuquest was accordingly held on the body On Monday last , when a most BeaiGoing investigation waB instituted . From the evidence which was given , it appears that the parents of the child have been for a long '¦ time-past in a state of great destitution . The father , John Forten , is a joiner by trade , but has been out of employment a great many months : latterly he had been employed four days by the UHemployed pperativeB' Committee . His whole receipts for the maintenanoe of his family durine the last twelve weeks
waB ( including 2 s . or 33 . from the parish ) Only 12 s .. just Is . per ^ eek . This waa all ne , his wife , and three children had had to subsist upon . On Saturday morning last , being totally destitute of food , hie wife went to the relieving officer to seek assistaacei She was at his ( ofiioe four hours , from eight till twelve . She then received 3 ? ., but when she returned home she was horror-struck to find that the youngest child which Bhe had left in bed with an elder one , had just breathed its last . A post mortem examination of the body was made by Thos . Tor back , Esq ., surgeon ; from his evidence no doubt was left on the miuda of th « Juiy that the child had died from starvation . The mother was called and examined .
She statedithat she was frequently , from a denViency of food , without milk to suckle her ohild . That on Saturday morning , there was no milk in her breasta for the child , and no food in the houae ; that she went to the relieviag officer to represent their starving Btate , but that ihe Was detained four hours ; that the relief came too late , her child being dead on her return home . It appeared also that she had frequently been at the relieving officer , but generally got no relief or only a ' ¦ . ¦ trifle :-at a time , and that the relieving officer had never visited her . The Jury , after carefully considering the whole of the evidence , unanimously came to tho following verdict ; —• " That the deceased ohild had died from
starvation , caused by a deficiency of proper food for the sustenance of the mother . " The Jury alsoi unanimously concurred in censuring the relieving officer , G . Hutchinson , for neglecting to visit the family . The Coroner expressed his eniire . concurronce in the verdict and the censure . Factort TuaNOUT 8 > -The factory workers of puckenfield , Hyde , Staieybridge , and Ashton , have struck work , in consequence of the masters offering again a further reduction of 25 per cent , upon their wages . YeBterday , Monday , a large procepsion of the above hands oame to Oldhann , ami ; proceedfid to several facloriea , and forced the hands out . When they cam © to Mr . Worthington ' s mill , the police having been ^ previously stationed there , aa affray took ^^ place between the ¦¦ ' . police constables aud the turnouts—one of the police got severely hurt . The consequence wae , that two of the turn-outs were ap ? prehended , and taken before the magistrates , who weret hen BiltiBg , ' and committed , to K ^ tkdale QaoV , to stand their trial at the ensuing assizes .

TO THE C 1 IATISTS OF SHEFFIELP . Brother Democrats . —Foiled in their every effort to prevent the progress of pur glorious movement , the Whig faction , like a drowning man catching at straws , yet cling to their old humbug of denouncing jour honest leatieis as '' Tory tools .

TURN-OUT IN LANCASHIRE . ( Continued from our 5 th page . ) Manchester , Thursday Evening , August 11 th , 1842 . ^ ( From eur ovm Correspondent . J : At four o ' clock this morning , great masses of people were seen wending their way to Granby Row Fields ; and by six o ' clock there could not be lnss than 40 , 000 persons present . Mr . Barker was callad to the chair . Mr . Dunavan and others addressed the mtiltitade . . About seven o ' clock , the Mayor , Mr . Neild * Mr . Pattes , and Mr . Maude , magistrates , along with Mr . Beswick , Town ' s Clerk , arrived on horseback , and drove through the dense crowd near to the cart in whioh the speakers were . They thenCommanded the people to disperse , on the ground that the meeting was illegal . They were asked by Mr , Donovan if it was illegal to meet to appoint delegates to watt upon tne manufacturers
and employers , to endeavour to get them to rkise their wages to the price they had in 1839 ? The Mayor said if that was the object of the meeting , if iuas perfectly legal ; but that the meeting was too large to conduct buisiuess of so very important a nature ; be had , therefore , only to do what the law compelled him to do . In consequence of the damage done to life and property , he would now say that this meeting was ; an illegal one . " Ho was then asked if the trades met in differeat parts of the town , to appoint the delegates which that meeting had intended to appoint , would that be unlawful ! " Ves , " said Mr . Neild , the Major ; and I will now give you just five minutes to disperse " }
The magistrates then retired ; and just as they got outside the people , the horse of Beswieb , tho town clerk , became restive , and either threw him off , or he threw himself off . : . ; Thiai waa the signal for the approach of the soldiery , who were drawn up in Oxford-road . They were soon up , with drawn sworda , to the number of 300 , and had along with them three pieces of artillery . The people immediately dispersed , first giving three cheers for themselves , and three groans for
their oppressors . : While the magistracy and soldiers were dispersing the above meeting , a great number of persons seized a boat , which they put across the canal adjoining to Beckton's mill , Xower Mosely-street , and nearly destroyed a new engine of 360 horse power , with some other machinery . Birley ' s mill Was also set on fire ; but no damage of a serious nature was done . Mr .

Brothers , — It is with much reluctance that I again have to address you upon the monetary matters « f the West Riding . Yst a sense of duty , as the Secretary , urges me to call upon those towns which baye not yet paid their quota towards discharging the debts incurred by the late West Biding election , to do so immediately . It is a most sfcameful blot upon the West Riding , that working men who have advanced money for the support of our glorious cause , should losa the mine . It is only necessary that eveiy town pay their equal shire , aud then justice will be done to all and every
one . Hoping that thia -will be tho means of effecting the dtsired end , I remain , Yours most sincerely , Edw . Clayton , Sec . Hufiderafield , August 8 th , 1842 .

" That taking all things into consideration , the committee deem it the most advisable ; safe , and judicioris course to be pursued , under the ciroumetanoes , to abandon the Procession announced to take place on the i 6 th of August ; and that the Press be requested to insert this resolution arid short address , in their current publications . '' ¦ : The district ie certainly in a very unsettled state , and tae members of the Committee believe that if any . disturbance ensued on that day , the enemies to the Chartist movement would enaton at the opportunity arid throw the blame on the Committee and the Chartists generally . They perceive that the Manchester Guardian has already begun to charge
the Chartists as the origina , tors of , and as taking p art in , the disturbances already had . A charge as False as it is cowardly and malicious .
