MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A RESPECTABLE FEMALE , AT HENRIETTASTREET . BATH . Bath has been thrown into a state of very great exekement for the last two days , in consequence of its having been discovered that . a Mrs . Parsons , a most respectable female , 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 31 onday , and was continued by adjournment , Tuesday and Wednesday , at the house of the deceased .
From the evid-nee addaoed , 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 were respectable lodging-house keepers . They were at the t ; mo of the murder without a servant , and a charwoman who had been acting as servant to them for a few days , had gone home , leaving the window 0 $ a washhonse open sufficiently wide to admit a person through , and leaving only Mr . and Mr . Parsons at home . — This was about six o ' clock on Friday evening . Between seven and ei >; ht o ' clock the same evening , a" female in the neighborrhctod was alarmed by groans appearing to come from the kitchen , and
while she sad another woman were ringing the bell _ st the front door , and otherwise vainly endeavouring to obtam admission , the prisoner came dowu the street . They informed him of the groaning , and went with hia into ihe house , where they rpand the deceasedlyint ; in the kitchen , in an obliqie direction from the fire , with a lar ^ e pool of co agulated blood Ullder her head ; there -was blood under the gTate among ib . 9 cinders , and at the side of the fire-place there were marks of blood , as if it had been Eiueared -wnh it ; there were no marks of blood vn the hook at the time he saw it ; there was the grate window under the grate with a few fliirks of blood on it . The poker was afterwards fonnd 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 the Eubstance of the brain . Tnere were other bruises also on the arm See . The poker had been applied to the marks on some of these , and found to correspond . Parsons denied all knowledge of how his wife had come into that condit . on , stating that he had been out walking more than half an hour , and that it must have occurred in hi 3 absence . A man named Tucker , going by the house about half-past seven o ' clock , saw a bit of a scufS ? between a mau and a woman going on in the kitchen ,
and thought it was a man and the servant . Heard the woman ^ ay , " Oh ! don ' t . " Thought the woman cried " Murder , " but was not sure of it . Thought they had been scuffling for some time , for the woman ' s voice seemed faint . The man bad 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 sppeared 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 Murder" was returned , and the prisoner was committed for trial .

THE STAFFORD VICTIMS . TO THE CHARTI 3 TS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Brother Chartists , —We the Delegates publicly appointed by our tespeotive localities , to see to the eating and drinking business of the victims in Stafford Gaol , and also their wivea and families , beg to inform you that the Victims" Fund is in a Tery low » tate , so much bo , that we have been obliged to relinquish support of the victims , and their families receive & poor miserable pittance . Brethren , it is for yon to Bay whether -the . Victims , with their wives and families Bhonld pine in want and misery . Remember their sufferings for oar cause , and the district from whence they are taken is unable to lend much assistance , as tbe neighbourhood is composed almost exclusively of colliers who are on strike—30 000 of them having left tbe 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 you ; will you respond ? Were you placed in their condition , would yon not think it hard to be left to starve ? How lonayou may be at liberty God only knows . AROUSE then , AROUSE ! AWAKE to ENERGY 5 and let the captives see that you have hearts to feel and sympathise "with those who are suffering for our emancipation .
Instant relief is requisite . The authorities at Stafford will not allow any food brought for the victims unless we can support them altogether . Will you then allow Mason and bis brave comrades to starve upon bread and water ? We anticipate that yon will respond , and that immediately . Signed by order of the DalPSfatea , A . Fusskll , Chairman . P . S . AH monies to be sent to Mr . Cook , Dudley .

TO THE HDITOK OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Siu—I write to inform you that all round the villages and places in and about Wclverhamptou is quiet , though we have got fresh , reinforcements of military . The colliers are suffering much . } they are .-Tety quiet and very orderly . Suveral . collieia have passed through guarded by dragoons from Brierly Hill and Dudley way . . ¦ ' . ' . . . : ¦ ¦ . ' ; . . ¦ ¦ . - ¦ ¦¦ . : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/ . Coal is very scarce and dear , £ 1 to £ 1 4 s . per ton . Our brave colliers will ytt triumph , ami ere ten days shall have passed , the men wili bave their four shillings . The magistrates have stopped them from beggine , but a great maoy have gone out to harvest work , and they are drawing the money out of their clubs ana helping tnch other as much as possible . Linney is doing well and working hard at Bilston and its localities ; bat he labours too much for his health . The insertion \> f the following by the request of the Wolrerhampton Council and friends will greatly oblige : —
" It is with regret that we inform our Chartist friends that Mr . H . Candy , wtio , Evuce his return to Wolverh&mpton , which ia nearly four months , has zealously persevered in the cause , and night afcer night , afttr the labour and toil if his work , he has delivered lectures on each Sunday , generally three times . Since poor Mason's incarceration , he has laboured more ar ^ deutly . His meetings of lata have been from four to six thousand people , and at times more . He has been mainly instrumental in preserving the peace of the tewn of Wolverhampton j the coliiers win almost do anything for him . What's the result ? that tome of the most icnuential 8 DOpkeeptrs are usinjj Hieana to , ^ et his emp loyer to discharge him ; and from bis great exu-tiors—bavi : > g delivered upwards of sixty lecturts—he is now ui . fit for work , for he is suffering severely from a violent voniitiuj ; of bloo'l , which at fir ^ t w ^ s thought the rupture of a vesseL It has produced fever and ioS iiuation of the lungs . He ia required to tike great care .
" Now Candy belongs to no club ; his 'wife has been lying ill in the Putteries , little chance , if ever she Te covers ; and we believe a more honest or straightforward Chartist cav not be bt- found . Four years and better he ha ? been battling in the cause of freedom , " We wish you to make an appeal in kia behalf , for if he goes to n bastile it will break bis heart , therefore ¦ w e sincerely hope every true CbartiBt will contribute a ante , so that we may get him round again . We believe he gave satisfaction while in the Yorkshire and other districts , therefore , dear Sir , we tru 3 t you will do your beat . , Yours , respectfully , J . Wi lcox . Secretary .

SUNDBjELARD . — ---Lectures on the Sabbath . —Mr . Charles Larkin has recently delivered two most able and eloquent lectures ou the Sabbath question At Sunderland . In the Second lecture he completely demolished the false , assumptions of the Sabbath-nioJiger , aud shevved that the Christian Sunday originated from causes and for purposes qviite niffercut from the JewishSibbath . The former , in fact , had no legal existeiice untilthree centuries aft ' . 'T the Christian era , and it was 4 eToced at first , panly to religion and puitly to recreation and ieastins ; . Mr . Larkin astonished many by describing the difl ' . rent " enactments that liad prevailed in England for the observance of Sunday , and the contrast between the puritannical Sabbath of the
Commonwealth , and the Sundny in Queen Elizibetli ' a time , was bold , striking , arid amusing . Theae lectures havo dealt a severe bloyr to tho bigotry and igepranccj 0 ? the Sabbath-observance saints ; many who Jasrd them will now be patinfied , that in spending the Sunday so as to promote their health , recreatton , mental improvement , and enjoyment , they are spending it as it ought to be , and as it was at first spent . Deaih or a Chix-d from Starvation . —A melancholy event oceurred on Saturday Ia 6 t , at fiishopwuarmouth—the death of a young child under circumstances which led to a suspicion that it had died from starvation . A Coroner ' s iiiquest was accordingly held on the body on Monday Jast , when a most searching investigation was 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 Eorten , is a joiner by trade , but has been out of employment a great many months : latterly he had been employed four days by the Unemployed Operatives' Committee . His whole receipts for the maintenance of his family during the last twelve weeks was ( including 2 s . or 3 s . from the parish ) only I 2 s . « just Is . per week . This Was all he , his wife , and three chUdren had had to subsist upon , On Saturday morning last , being totally destitute of food , hie wife went to the relieving officer ; to seek assiBtance , She was at his office 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 she had left in bed with an elder one , had just breathed its last . A post mortem examination of the body was made by 1 'hos . Torback , Esq ., surgeon ; iron ! his evidence no doubt was left on the minds 6 f the Jury that the- child had died from Rtarvation . The mother was called and pxaminod . She stated that she was frequontly , from a defi-iency of f ood , without milk to suckle her : child . ; That on Saturday rnomiDx , there was no milk in her breasts for the child , and no food iu tho house ; that she went to the relieviag officer to represent their starving state , but ; that pho was detained four hours s
that the relief came too late , her child boing 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 trijBe-at a time , and that the relieving officer had never visited her . The Jury , after carefully considering the whole of the evidence , unanimouslycame to the following verdict : — "That the deceased child had died from starvation , caused by a deficiency of proper food for the ¦ sustenance Of the mother . " The Jury also unahiinoupJy concurreil in censuring tho relieving officer , G . Hutchinson , for neglecting to visit the family . Tho Coroner expressed his entire concurrence in the verdict and ihe censure .
Factort TyBKOtTCs . ^ -The factory workers of Duckenfieldj HydOj Staleybridge , and Ashtou , have Btruck work , in consequence of the masters offering again a . further roduotion of 25 per ceut . upon their wages . Yesterday , Monday , a large procession of the above hands came to Oldham j and proceeded to several factories , and forced tho hands out . When they came to Mr . Worthington ' s mill , the pqlice having been previously stationed there , an affray took place between the police constables ¦ ¦ a rid the turnouts—one of the police got severely hurt . Tfle consequence was , that two of the turn-outs were apprehended , and taken before the magistrates , who weret hen sitting , and conamitted to Kirkdale Gaol , to stand their trial at the ensuing assizes .

( From &ur own Correspondent . ) . 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 less than 40 , 000 persons present . Mr .

Beswick , Town's Cierk , arrived on horseback ^ and drove through the dense crowd near to the cart iu which the speakers Were . They then commanded 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 wait upon the manufacturere and employers , to endeavour to get them to raise their wages to the price they had in 1839 ? The Mayor said if that was the object of the meeting , it was ¦ perfectly legal ; but that the meeting was fjo large to conduct business of so very important a nature ; he 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 ap / illegal oiie . " He was then asked if the trades met in different parts of the town , to appoint the delegates which that meeting had intended to appoint , would that be ¦ unlawiuli " Yes , " said Mr .
Neild , the Major ; " and I will now give you just five minutes to disperse" r Tne magistrates then retired j find just as they got outside the people , the horse of Beswick , the town clerk , became restive , and either threw him off , or he threw himseif off * This was the signal for the approach of the 80 ldiery , vrho : vrete drawnvcp inlOifoxd-Toad , They were soon up , with drawn swords , to the number of 300 , and had along with them three pieces of artillery .

I am led to address these remarks to you by seeing a curious letter in the ( Statesman of last week signed "R .

intended private meeting . Let us have no conspiracies against the men whom Messrs . OtJsy and Gill affect to be anxious to defend . Why not have these precious documents ( if they exist ) produoed at a public meeting ! Are you not as competent to judge of the worth of theso documents as Messrs .

THE HU ^ T MONUMENT COMMiTTm T 6 THE CHiBMSTS O * MiKCHESTEa , AND THE suHRODNDiNG Towns and ; ViLLiGES ^ The Committee appointed to superintend the erection of a Monument to the memory of the late Henry Hunt , Esq ., feel SOC ToW at having to inform yon , and those other friends who had intended to Honour us with their presence at the Processioii oiv the 16 th of August , that after duly considering upon the present awful and truly alarming state of this district , and after every member present had given his opinion upon the matter , the following resolution was passed unanimously : — : r
" That taking all things into consideration , the committee deem it the most advisable , safe , and judicious course to be pursued , under the circumstances , to abandon the Procession announced to take place on the 16 th of August ; and : that the Press be requested to insert this resolution and Short address , hi their current publications . " : The district is certainly in a very unsettled state , and the members of the Gommittee believe tbat if any disturbance ensued on that day , the enemies to the Chartist movement would snatch at the opportunity and throw the blame on the Committee and the Chartists generally . They perceive Manchester Guardian has already begun to charge the Chartists as the originators of , and as taking part in , the disturbances already had , A charge as false as it is cowardly and malicious .
The Meeting , reapeoting the Monument , will be holden on the 16 th of August , in the Rev . James Bcholtjfield'a burial ground , Every -street , The ground ia private property : and the meeting will , therefore , be strictly safoand legal . The delegates are expected to be here accordirig to previous annoHncement ; likewise Eeargus O * C *> n"or , Esq . ; The tea party aiid ball will also be 1 holden in the evening , for which all due arrangments are being made . In adopting thia course , the committee feel that
they best consult theintereistand safety of the Chartibt cause . Were they to go on with the procession , and bring upon them the iatcrference of the magistracy , tumult might be the consequence . Life would be endangered ; blood spilled ; and our righteous movement greatly endangered and retarded . We want to obtain the Charter by , moral , peaceable , and constitutional means , and hot by force autt tbniHlt . Signed oa behalf of the Cdmuiittee , Wbi . Griffin , Secretary .
