' Mokdat , August 7- i The House aai from from twelve o ' clock at soon tffl ' half-past one next morning , _ being thirteen hoars and 3 bait They went through the Irish PoorXtw Amendment BUI in committee , and advanced other measures . . » f On the motion far goioginto committee of supply , Mr . E"wast nOeed a brief debate on the peat and important principles of feee trade , being probably tie last opportunity en vhichthla vital subject cam be discussed in Parliament during jhe . present year . His motion "was , that it ] vna expedient that the principles advanced in the celebrated : Import Duties Committee of 1846 should now be I recognised in legislation , and at once applied as a " remedy for the depression of commerce ana the distress of the people . ; ] Mr . Milmbb . Gibson followed , in a short speech .
Ms . Gladstosb referred to the thinness of the attendance , as evincing the exhaustion of the House and the inutality of pressing such a [ debate as the present at this period of the session . ; ' These important subjects could not be re-consldered at this late sea * son , even if it were fitting to disturb them at all , so soon after the great settlements of them which were made in the last year . | Mr . SOUS said the motion was a very fair one . The public had begun to apprehend that Sir Robert Peel was receding from the free trade principles professed by him a little while ago ; and it became reasonable , therefore , -to call for a declaration from the Right Hon . Baronet !
Mr , Bright said he was glad to be there as the representative of men with hard hands , for the rich had representatives enough . He had been an active member of ttiB League , beessse he believed ; that the abolition of the com laws would be the abolition of all otter monopelies . He scouted the word protection , -which -was intended for the property of the rich , not for the labour of the poor . The question was a rent qnestion . Surely the poor man ' s property in his labour was as sacred as the rich man Vin his land , or even more sacred . But the ' = operative made a piece of flannel and sent it to America—corn ? came back in exchange—and then yon compelled him to pay a duty of 12 b . upon it in order that he might be driven to buy his com of the English landlord . The ; general discontent at these things was extreme , and tended to a spirit of insubordination . Look at Ireland , look at
Wales—the landlords were She subjects or complaint in both those parts of the empire , and things' were sot much quieter in Scotland or in England . A body-of pitmen had combined in the north to keep up prices j that might be absurd enough , but was it worse than & combiii&tion of three hundred gentlemen in that house to keep up rents ? -Let the landlords recollect that they have an interest in the people ' s prosperity , and that the people will prosper by the introduction of food into the country . I The House divided , rejecting the motion . The house having resolved itself into Committee of Sapply , i Sir Q , Gjukkk moved a vote of £ 821 , 020 for the expenses of the war in China , stating that this sum was a debt due to the East India Company . | After some explanations the vote was passed .
Sir Q Clkek moved a Tote ox £ 25 , 300 for military services ia Canada . i Air . Home contended that the Canadians ought to bear their own expenses . If the local Government wanted those troops let it pay for them ; if the troops were sot wanted by that Government , let them not be charged upon the ^ motber country . Lord SlAMLXY said there hs . i been ; a redaction of this estimate from £ 120 , 000 to £ 25 300 . Mr . Hume , proving obstinate , persisted to a division , on which he was defeated . ' . Tho Committee next went into the miscellaneous estimates . < The vote for the Caledonian Canal occasioned some debate , bat after a division it was carried , and the Committee then proceeded with the other miscellane ous votes . I
The House having resumed , th » other orders of the day were disposed of , and Sir H . Hatdinge having briefly introduced his bill to enable the Government to arm and eaQ into active service the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital , the business of the day -was at last brought to a conclusion .

REBECCA AND HER FAMILY . I ( Reported expressiy for the Northern Star . } SWASSEA-This numerous family appears to be greatly increasing , fer it is only asbort while ago that any depredation in this neighbourhood could , with any degree of justice be attributed to the agency of the invisible Rebecca ^ nsw not a night occurs but some devilment or another is transacted , and all is laid on the good old lady ' s shoulders . : J Since I wrote yon the authorities have been committing jight and left ; bat the only testimony they could obtain in . support of the charge was the unsubstantiated evidence of the informer , sad bia testimony contradicted by many respectable witnesses . | As the local and London journals have so fully reported the examination before the Magistrates , I shall not detail it here , but call your attention to the leading facts : — . i .
The informer , John Jones , deposed that he was present -when the Xolgoed toll-gate -sras destroyed . It was between one and two o ' elMk in the morning ; that about 250 men were present in various disguises ; 100 were in possessian of fire-arms , which were incessantly being fired , and that Daniel Lewis , one of the defendants , personated Bebecca ; that the other three defendants were also present , dressed in white shirts over their clothing , and that the . destruction of the gate occupied from ten to fifteen minutes , when they -went to the mountain And dispersed . On hiscross-examina tien witness stated that he was on hist way from his brother ' s , where he had been staying three hours , two of which 1 b passed in his company , when he fell in with the Bebeecaites , and that he never j stated to any one that he was ignorant of the parties jwfco werepre * sent at the outrage . i
His brother-was called on , who deposed that the previous witness was not in his house at all , neither had he been so from the latter end of March ; and he was quite sure he had not seen him on that week . Two other -witnesses also swore that' tbe informer told them that he was so afraid he did not go sear them , and did not know a Uvinjr soul who was present Others were called who said they would not believe him on Ms -oath . 1 The magistrates committed all the four , but admitted them to bail to take their trial at the Assizes . . Mr . Maule , solicitor to the Treasury , conducted the prosecution . 1
On the night of the day on which this examination took place , a toll bar was destroyed within three hundred jards of the Town Hall , where the Magistrates had held their sittings ; two more in the Immediate locality , and three others in tbe neighbourhood of Uandilly . Last night ( Friday } a field of wheat was cut downlong before it was ready for the sickle—the property of a gentleman who had tendered himself obnoxious to Mother Becca ; and another gate has been destroyed about two miles from town . In short every morning brines us accounts of gates destroyed or other property injured . Several other committals have taken place- \ The town and neighbourhood is placarded with bills cffWrin * £ 200 reward for the apprehension and conviction of any of the parties concerned in the destruction of tke Bolgoed , Pumfield , Rbydypandy and Ty Goch Sates .
THE ASMS " CASE . " Mr . Tanghan , cf the Bed Lion , was charged with being a ** Rebeccaite , " and purveyor gtneral for arms for that lady and her daughters . j — Mans , agent f « r the steam-packet company , deposed that a case arrived at their office addressed to the defendant which , from a letter he received , he was given to understand contained arms . He sent word to the Mayor , who arrived at twelve o'clock on Sunday nigbt , { O ! what a disregard of Six A . Agnew j ) in company with tiie magistrates' clerk And a body of police ; and -when the case was opened it contained twelve fowling pieces , double and single-barrelled ; one brace of pistols ; one bullet mould and some percussion caps . The informer Jones swore ho Saw Vaugban at Bolgoed when itoe tor was destroyed . ¦ Mr Vaughan offered to produce witnesses to piove that be was at home . ¦
The Magistrates , on the solicitation of Mr . Maule , solicitor to the Treasury refused to hear them , and the defendant was committed fer trial .
rims out oy ihb coppbs ¦ . Tbe whole of the men belonging to ; tbe extensive copper works around Swansea and Neath have struck wvrk . On Saturday last , when the-tarn --ont was finally agreed on to take place , they -resolved to have a procession ; and accordingly upwards of a thousand of them entered Swansea fonr-abreasL Before they got to the main street they were met by Dr . Bird , the mayor ( a little dumpy chap with a "white hat and green spectacles ) on horseback ; who told them that he had sp t a letter from the Qneen (!) sot to allow any procession to go through the town-and he therefore urged on them the necessity of a " light aboutAee" to be folf owed iy a oeuntermarch to their respective places of abode . Tbe men showed littie disposition to comply ; and he again began blarneying . them about loyalty to

increased , and as they marched in a circle around the horsemen and police , each division under the direction of a person appointed to eontroul its movements , the Bbpfirintendent exelsbned te the Mayor in ^ eyident alarm " Thiy are jaii drilled !* > Th > jtog being ^ completed , and silence obtained Wry ^ Tiyyan addressed them in the-following strain , " Now , my lads , I have , to thank you that you have not been guilty of a breach of the peace , but that you have lit once complied with the wish of the Queen ( a voice 'Fudge i ")—the wish of the Queen that you should not march' in procession jand sow that we are on our own ground , let me hear what yon complain of tell nie what ^ ou want— . ( "We want the price the same as before . " ) Put it as reasonable men ; look to the trade generally ; see how the iron-workers are reduced , and One metal goes with the other ; the ; price of copper is reduced from la . to 9 d . PutittoJypnrselvcB ; the copper companies have studied to keep the works going , but when they ask you to rednce a little , you strike .
One of the men said in reply that Mr . V . had not fairly stated the ease , inasmuch as he had said they had submitted to ; no reductions when the fact was directly the contrary ; for although they nominally received as much as formerly , yet when it was considered that they had now to make seven score / seven pounds to the cwt , and twenty-threeewt and in some cases twenty-four to the ton , he thought if that was not reduction he did not know what was . Another workman observed that the reduction in the price of Iron instead of being a disadvantage was a
positive advantage to the masters , as they used it so extenBively in the workB ; that their trade was very unhealthy and { should be well rewarded ; and that a suit of clothes would not last them a month ; that although the" slackmen" got nominally good wages , yet when it was remembered that they had to act as labourers , and get labourers' wages one week id every month , their average eanripga were greatly reduced ; and that the proposed reduction would in their case be 7 s . 6 d . a week . He thought it unfair and he for one would not accede to it ;
Mr . Benson , the other master present , took on himself the task ; of replying , and would assure the men that ¦ with the masters it was a case of dire necessity . Just let the men go back to their work and hope for better times . And as soon as they could afford it they might rely that they weuld again receive their former wages . He also would compliment them on their orderly conduct on the ^ present occasion . They had afforded an example to the whole community , and he would suggest that they triye three cheers for the Queen , and agree to return to their work . . ¦« .- r
A man here sung out , " Will the Queen fill our bellies or clothe our wives ? " and in sorrow for tbe loyalty of the copper workers of Swansea , ! have to record that not a solitary $ heer was raised for their sovereign . The Mayor then thanked the men for their orderly conduct , and . after some further altercation about the wages they were In receipt of , the prominent part of which was maintained by an underling who bad neither the sense nor feeling of his employers , tbe " gentlemen " departed , and the workieB unanimously resolved to stand out upon " strike . "
( From tke Times . J Cabmabthen , Aug . 5 . —Mr . Hall , the Commlsatoner appointed to inquire into the cause of tbe . disturbaBces of this country ; arrived here ( Carmarthen ) on Thursday night , and ; : on Friday commenced his inquiry , in the man * ner I have already described to you—hearing privately the communications of every person who will go before him , relative to the state of tbe country . Another gentleman , a barrister , named Ellis ., also forms put of the Commission , and directs his attention solely to the accounts and management of the turnpike trusts . I understand he has expressed a strong opinion against the numerous side bars , and that he has drawn a Bill , new before Parliament , having for its object tbe consolidation of tbe trusts , ana tho gradual paying off of the tallies . | So far from the disturbances having abated , they seem to be progressing rapidly , and a crisis of some kind mnst soon arrive .
On Wednesday night the turnpike-gate in the village of Llannon was demolished , and the toll-house burnt . The Rebecca rlotera then proceeded to a mansion recently erected near there by Mr . Rees Goring Thomas , a Magistrate of the county , and broke all tbe windows . They then gave three cheers and dispersed , On Thursdsy morning , between tw « and three o ' clock , the Rebeccaites , armed with guns and other weapons , destroyed the Furnace-lodge and Sandy Limekiln gates , near Uannelly , together with the toll-hoaaea belonging to them , ' and afterwards burnt the materials . They severely beat the gate-keeper of Furnace-lodge , and i { b is rumoured shot him in tee face . After firing a number of shota . ' they separated . There Is hardly a gate or a bar in that part of the country now standing .
At Naibeth there is a turnpike-gate called " The Plain-dealing and Stumpy-gate , " within 300 yards of the hotel where the Castle Martin Yeomanry are stationed , and where a magistrate is obliged to be ready to act On Thursday night , seven carts and drivers came to this gate , and demanded ts > be allowed to pass through . The gate is In reality a long poll across the road , swung ! with chains at each end . The toll-collector refused to allow them to pass unless they paid toll , when the driver of the leading cart coolly unyoked bis horse from the cart , and fastened it to the
bar , and pulled it down by mam force , saying , " that was the way to pay the toll" A constable was standing near , who ran to tbe hotel and informed Mr . Swann , the | Magi&trate , who was there , of what was going on . Mr . Swann immediately sent three or four special constables to take the man into custody , but tbe cart drivers , who were now pawing through the town , set the constables at defiance . Mr . Swann then ordered out the yeomanry , and tbe drivers , seeing them coming , ceased to make any resistance , and were all taken into custody .
- Yesterday morning , about eight o ' clock , the same bar having , been re-erected , a farmer rode up and demanded to pass through without paying ! this was refused , when he made bis horse drive against it , and broke it in the centre . A constable attempted to take him into' euBtody , but was resisted , and the farmer -threatened to : take the life of anybody who attempted to apprehend i him . The constable ran to the hotel to Inform the Magistrate , who sent six or seven constables to appeehead the offender . He , however , resisted them , and Mr . Swann fearing a serious disturbance , again ordered eut the yeomanry , and the fanner , as soon as he saw them , ] immediately surrendered . He was fined 20 s . for the offence and discharged .
To-day also a meeting of the trustees of the Three Comet Trust was heia in Carmarthen , and the question of the number of tbe aide-bars and gates was taken into consideration . Ten of them were recommended to be taken down , and a meeting of the trustees to decide on thiB \ a appointed to be hold on the 26 th taBtant . Tbe different trusts , however , are so interwoven that It is almost hopeless to tffect much good Without a consolidation of ] the whole of them . On Thursday the magistrates here again assembled for the purpose of swearing in special constables , according to adjournment ; but although there were 250 summonses , no one answered .

MQST DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . A fire broke out in Moseley ' s tool-faotory , in Newstreet , Covent -garden , on Saturday morning , about seven o ' clock , when the whole of this well-known manufactory was destroyed . Tbe premises in question ¦ were bounded on one Bide by Rose-street , and baving Messrs . Jones ' s gas-work factory abutting on tbe rear of the same . ' As to the origin of the fire , nothing could be learned , but it appears that Mr . Jones , on getting up at a quarter before seven o'clock , and on looking out of his window , was astonished at seeing that Mr . Moseley ' s premises were on fire . At this time it is certain the conflagration was raging in tbe lower part of the factory . Mr . ; Jones , on rushing out cf the bouse to give an alarm , found that notice had been previously
given , and i , bat several persons , assisted by the police , were busily engaged arousing the inmates of the adjacent houses , j Several brigade engines—the West of England and County engines , the two latter under the direction of Messrs . Connorton and Carter , were with all possible expedition en the spot , and as soon as water could be proeured they were set to work , but the engines were forced to give over working for some minutes owing to there not being a sufficient supply of water . In about half an hour after the outbreak , namely , a quarter past seven o'clock , tbe whole range of workshops belonging to Messrs . Moseley , occupying nearly 6 , 000 square feet , were completely enveloped In flames , and , notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen , they could
not prevent'the adjoining property of Mr . Jones , gasfitter , of Rose-Btraet , from igniting , and in a very Bbort period the workshops belonging to the latter gentleman were , with their contents , entirely consumed , anil owing to the extremely combustible nature of the stock of Messrs . Moseley , withont which the flam es were inconceivably rapid , and by half-past seven o'clock , the of whole the four floers of tho factory were on fire , and the only part' that appeared to be comparatively free from its ravages was the western end , which was filled with timber . In less than ten minutes subsequently the / flames broke through the roof , which fell in with a fearful crash , which was no sooner done than
the fismes rose to a tremendous height , and could be distinctly seen for a great distance . It was Boon evident to the most experienced firemen , that nothing could save Messrs . Moseley ' fl premises ; they therefore ende&TOUied to their utmost to prevent the fiie spreading to several adjoining tenements , At half-past eight , one of the immense walla fell in , and for a minute or two subdued tbe fire , tut it again burst forth with , increased inry , and It was not until a quarter before nine thatthe firemen had the eontroul of the fire , when it was pretty clear that it would soon yield to the water which was being poured upon it
: ' ¦}¦ AKOTHIB JIW 5 . Shortly before twelve o ' clock , on Saturday night , the neighbourhood ; of Fore-Street , ' Xlmehoase , Was thrown into a statejif j great excitement , in consequence of ft fire , which' was not extinguished until property to a very serious amount ; wwi destroyed , breaking but on Ihe premlses ^ elonging ; \ p Mr ^ M ^ , sitnated ^ at No .. 165 , Fore-street , Llmehonse , nearly opposite Messrs . 31 jrth ' a extensive steam boiler factory . The first discovery waa made bypolioe constable Hutbon , 60 K , who , in passing along his beat , had hla attention directed to it iby perceiving smoke issuing' from the street door . The officer immediately sprung his rattle ,

and aroused the inmate ? , but , by the time he had accomplished this , the back part of tbe first floor was one body of fire , which was fast deapending the stairease , 'and it was with the utmost dimculty that the residents were rescuei . By that time the fire had broken through the walls of the adjoining house , belonging to Mr . Martin , being No . 104 .: The officer , imni ^ dia tely on discovering the fire , despatched messengers to the different engine stations . Several quickly arrived , and as eoon as wafer could be ptoaured , the whole of the force was set j to work ; but , notwithstanding the indefatigable exertlona of the : firemen , the
whole of Mr . Milla ' s preraiEes were consumed , together with' those adjoining belonging to the WaU's-end Company , and considerable damage done to Mr . Martin ' s premises , the Steam-boat ^ public-house . By half-past one b ' clock the firemen bad perfeof ; control of the fire , and no further destruction of property took place . A stro&g body of police of the K division , under the direction ! <> f Mr Inspector May , were on the spot , and rendered essential service to the iahubitants by keeping back the Immenaa crowd ; and also in assisting them to remove their furniture . The origin of the fire is unknown .
TOIAL DESTRUCTION OF BIRD ' S STEAM SAW-KILLS .
| GRAVEL-LANE . \ Ve are extremely sorry to have to record another molt alarming and destructive fire , in which property to the amount of many f thousand pounds was consumJBd . This fire broke out on Sunday , in the immense range of premises belonging to Mr . Bird , the occupier of the well known steam saw mills and dock contractor , situate in Love-lane , Old jOravel-lane , Shad well . The premises were about 150 yards in length , and nearly fifty ) iu depth , and of proportionate height , and were filled up with steam engines and the usual costly apparatna . The yard and adjacent outbuildings were stored with timber and other equally inflammable commodities . The fire was first discovered by police constable 332 K . at which time it was raging
in the centre of the saw-mills . The officer , with all jposslble speed , raised an alum , and went to the adjacent premises , belonging to Mr . Kuight , soap and tallow melter , to apprise him of the imminent danger his property was in . After some time he succeeded , but | not before the fiamea had reached the southern wall of his extensive 'factory , and it was only owing to the exertions of the police that the factory escaped total destruction . By this time the | parish engine was on the spot , followed immediately by Mr . Oonnorton , with the West of England engine , who was succeeded by Mr . Braidwood , with as many engines as could be spared from the fire " at Limehouse . About half a dozen other engines of the brigade , and also the county engine , with Mr . Carter , [ next reached the scene of conflagration , whenene of the most awful sightsi-preaented itself ; the entire
range of buildings being one vivid sheet of fire , ascending to a considerrblu height , causing large flakes of fire to fall on the tops of the adjoining and opposite houses . Thejyatd of Mr . Bird being filled with timber , as we have before stated , the fire travelled along the ground almost with the quickness of lightning , setting fire to Mr . Bird's private dwelling and several other houses in Love-lane . The excitement that now ensued wa »[ painfully great : in one street were to be seen numberless pereona escaping with what little property they could lay their h&ndB en , whAUt in another street were to be seen the inmates rushing out of their habitations quite frantic , and almost in a state of nudity . At halfpast ; three , an hour after the outbreak , Mr . Bird ' s premises , with the valuable contents , were totally destroyed , and numerouB other buildings partly burnt down .
FIBE IN GREAT GEORGE-STREET AND PARLIAMENT-STREET . About twenty minutes to three o ' clock on Sunday morning last , another most extensive and destructive ; fire broke out in the residence of Mr . Viliiers . eurgeon , situate between Parliament-street and Kingstreet , opposite Westminster Abbey , which for up wards of an boar threatened the total destruction of the entire range of buildings in the vicinity . The fire was discovered by two constables of the A and B divisions , it being the spot where their beats joined . Tbe first intimation which they received was from the sudden ontbreat of a strong flare of light issuing from a small back room on tbe first floor , accompanied by a dense smoke ! The appearance Indicating tbe place to be on
fire . ithe police proceeded to alarm the inmates , and they ; then started for the engines . At this juncture some females happened to come np , who continued without intermission to knock at the dooia of the adjoinfng houses . Strange to say , the flimes ran through the house as if a train bad been laid down , and the entire building was enveloped in one mass of fire . At ibis time tbe utmost alarm prevailed , tbe inmates appearing at the windows , coiling loudly for help . Fortunately , they ail all succeeded in effecting their escape by the roofs of the adjoining . houBcs . At this | period the scene was truly magnificent , the flames illuminating Westminster Abbey , the Hull , and the whole of the West end , the reflection causing the engines from Chandos-atreet , King-street ,
Wallstreet , and the adjacent parts to arrive , as well as the parish ones of St . Margaret ' s and St John ' s ; but so strong" a hold bad the destructive element obtained , that for ft length of time all chance of stopping Us progress ; was' abandoned , the flames burning tack wards , and in less than twenty minutes a cry was raised that toe premises of Mr . Qoldsmitbj wine-merchant , Parliament-street , were in flames ; The alarm was too 8 p .. wliJy confirmed by the fl » mes bursting forth in an imtnense volume , and in less time ; than we have occupied in writ Jig it , the entire house was enveloped in one immense body of fire . At ^ hia period a plentiful supply of water waa obtained , but nearly an hour elapsed
before the slightest impression was visible . At length , through the exertions of the firemen , aided by the police , the fire gave way , and by four o'clock all danger was at aa end . The house In which the fire originated is divided into tenements , tbe lower part being occupied by Miss May , the daughter of Superintendent May , who carries on the business of a milliner . Tbe fire took an angular direction , leaving ; the extensive premises of Mr . Morris , the ironmonger , untouched , bat burning in a southward direction , the premises of Mr . Cuthbert-8 on , the wax-chandler ,. were for a length , of time in imminent danger . The damage done is estimated at about £ 5 . , the whole of which will fail on tke County Fire Office .

those agrarian crimeB of the deepest dye , which have for some years disgraced this end- of the county of Chester , m the lawless murder of Matthias Bailey , the Kamekeeper of Qeorge Wilbraham , Esq ., of Delamere Hobs © , near Northwioh ; . and under circom . sianoes which are likely to baffle the ingenuity of the most experienced of the police in detecting the miscreants who have perpetrated this horrible crime ; inasmuch as at preeeat there exiBts not the slightest cine by the means of , which even suapicioa can itttitica ! to any one . The following are the leading facts o ? the case : —On ^^^ ridaf morning iasjt , between eight and nine o ' clock , & female named Mary Yearsley ; who resides at Crowton , near Weaverhann was proceeding up a place called Camomile-lane ,

when fhe observed the body of a man in the lane ; he was lying with- the face down , 80 that she could not identify who it was : and she noticed that a considerable quantity of blood in a dotted state was close to the head , and which appeared to have flowed from a wonndin theneck ; the body appeared to bo lifeless . She informdd some other persons of what she had geen , and it was identified as the body of Mintthia 8 Bailey . H © waa without his coat , which wosfouudin an adjoining cornfield ; and his gun was found in the same field , about fifty yards from his coat . When the ! body was examined it was still warm , and from 'the position , it was evident that the unfortunate man had been shot from behind , and had fallen forward . There was not the slightest indication that he had had any conflict , as no
marks of struggling were seen . It is conjectured that when in the corn-field he may have become aware of some trespassers , and that he had pursued them ; as it was his habit , when he gave chase to any such parties , ' to throw his weapons down , and release himself as much as possible from the tram * mels of dress . Information of the dreadful event , was immediately ! conveyed by a young man named Thomas Minshuil , to Mr . Wilbraham , who , with Clement Swettenham , Esq ., and other magistrates , immediately proceeded to institute the most ' rigorous inquiry into the affair . It appears that on the pro * ceding evening Bailey returned home from the hay-field , soon after seven o ' clock , and went early to bed , tolling his wife that he intended to get up
early next morning , in order to get hold of "those fellows , " meaning , no doubt , some persons suspected of poaching . He arose between three and four o'clock ; and that was the Ia 3 t time his wife saw htm alive . The only incident that has yet come to light , previous to the finding of his body , rests on the testimony of Thoa . Pickering , a labouring man , re siding at Norley . j It appears that , according to his acoount , about 4 o'clock he wen t to fetch his cow out of the field , when he found that she had strayed into Moss-lane , situated between Norley and Crowton . When he was in j the lane he heard the report of a gun , aad saw two men running towards Camomile * lane , the last of whom had no coat on , and appeared to be much larger in size than the other . Qne of the
men called out , 'Alt ' s you , John ; " and he believes the voioe to have been that of Matthias Bailey . Under the directions of Mr . Baker , special high constable , jfiva persons were apprehended , named John Blane , Samuel Blane , and also Dunoalf and Wright . On Monday , an inquest was held on the body , at the . Fox and Hoards public-house , Crowton , before Henry Churton , Esq ., the coroner , and which was attended by Mr . Wilbraham and several other parties . Evidence was given by the widow , Thomas | Pickering , Mary Yearsley , and Thomas Minehull , to the facts above stated , Mr . Smith , surgeon , lining at Acton-brike , who had made a past mortem examination of the body , stated that the neck was perforated by a large quantity of bmall
irregular pieces of lead resembling shot , ten of which ho extraoted ; the tintervertebral cartilages were penetrated , and also the spinal marrow , by two of the pieces of lead ; and he stated it to be his opinion that the latter named injury would be sufficient to cause death . It appears that about half apoandof shot had been found ia the corn field before mentioned , being No . 4 , mixed with dust ; but there was no correspondence between them and the shot extracted from the neck ofjtbe victim . No evidenoe whatever was adduced against any of the parties in custody , and they were consequently discharged . It did not
appear probable that any further evidence could , at present be attained ; and it being the opinion of the coroner , and also [ the magistrates in attendance , that no good result would accrue from adjourning the inquest , inasmuch ! as , if anything farther transpires , the matter can be investigated before the magistrates , the jury returned a verdict of ' * Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . " Bailey was a stout athletic man , aged about forty years , and by his ! death his wife and four children have bflen bereaved of their sole support . He was very generally respected by his employer , and also by all who knew him . —Chester Chronicle .
A " Socialist" Pabson ; amd wobsr , —Dh . Cantwfll Surpassed . —A case of extreme depravity , which has come to light on the Welsh Circuit involves several points of public importance . It appears that the Rev , Francis ! Thomas , a beneficed Clergyman , debauched a Miss ] Caroline Williams , a lady of most respectable family in reduced circumstances . It is alleged that the reverend gentleman succeeded first by force , and it was proved that he promised marriage , and that a Jong intercourse and most characteristic correspondence followed , ending , as usual , in a heartless desertion . In one of his letters from Pembroke College , of which the reverend seducer was a fellow , he wrote to his victim
thus' < I am sorry to hear yon are ill ; you must try to get well and be hapyy . If I had the power to confer those blessings on you , I would say , be happy—and be so for ever . Religion alone can give this . You suppose I possess little of it ; but I have been preachinff to-aay . " j in another he deals in menace , in jeer ? , and in his impious use of the pretence of religious zeal , in succession , and never was there a more profane or disgusting mixture . "Deliberate on these things—if you visit Swansea ; the news will fly to Haverfordwest , as fast as wheels drawn by sorry jades can speed ; then advice will fly from Haverfor . i west pretty quick , though 'twill come part of the way by a two-horse coach .. The advice
will be , most likely , to the followtng tfract : —// that woman annoys yo ' y , have her up instantly before the authorities , and bind her over to keep the peace . A nd this is what Zjshall be urged to do- Now . I don ' t want to treat thee in this manner , poor girl . ; but don't yoa see wliat I shall be obliged to do ? Stay thee quiet where ihou art , and perhaps I'll write thee a ciyilish note again some time , to wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy new year , or something like that . Oh ! how I [ wish you were a real Christian , a real believer in Jesus . Pray to God to give you liaht to apprehend divine truth . I wish yon well . I up t »
He ends one letter , fall of tho most puerile levities , with one true word : " Don't be naughty ; you can dowel ! without seeing that scoundrel Frank . — F . T . " The scoundrel iFrank , or frank scoundrel , being himself the Rev . Francis Thomas . We pass to the evidence of the confession of the crime , the sanctified plea for it , and the refusal of reparation— j "The Rev . Howell Jones Phillips : I am a clergyman of the Church' of England . I reside in London . I was here in the year 1841 . I had an interview with Mias Williams on the suhject of Mr . Frank Thomas ' s courtship . I communicated to him what passed between us . I informed him that Miss
Williams had charged him with I aving seduced her about nine or ten years aeo . He admitted the . fact , but said it happened when he was an ungo dly man , and given to ungodly things . " And this man j is in possession of two livings . Two parishes have the benefit of his exampleand his teaching . J His victim had first taken the alarm on learning that her seducer was about to go to Australia as a Missionary , the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign | Parts having deemed him a fit and worthy instrument for its purposes ( an example of the judgement exercised by this body in the choice of its ministers }; but ! his peculiar merits procured him peculiar patronage' at home , which doubtless caused him to change his plans , and to content himself with a couple of livings !
The Jury gave a verdict of £ 500 damage * , and doubtless the regenerate , the converted , the godly Rev . Francis Thomas thinks it very hard that he should have to pay so much money for the wicked pleasures of the unVegenerate , unconverted , ungodly Francis Thomas , with whom he has no more to do than a serpent has ( with the skin it has cast . But is the matter to rest here 1 Is such a man to remain in possession of chiiroh preferment ; are two parishes to be left in the black shade of such an example ? Are they to be disgusted and outraged by the exhibition of such a person in the character of a teacher ! What can be the discipline of a Church which continues such a member in one of its offices of trust for an hour bvyond the time whioh the forms of his suspension and expulsion may require ?—Examiner . !
