The interference of Mr. Bancroft in his behalf bee been made known in our journals • and I am thus led to speak ol this gentleman. His reputation is a very high one with his own cougar" men, and we am gratified to learn that be has made a favourable impression abroad.

It is the opinion here that our foreign ministers will only be changed in those instances where the confidential nature of the trust, 'risme from particular causes, will require a change for the actual benefit of the government. As, for example ' if (Jen.

The next most remarkable animal is a steer of the Hereford breed, fattened by U.K H. Prince Albert, who in that capacity obtains the prise of 201 , and a si lver medal to the breeder, Mr. P. Devise—all richly deserved and worthily bestowed. This beast is well worthy of remark, from the elegance of his preportinny and the symmetrical arrangement of the fat over the varous parts of his body, each little dumpling of tat on his dexter side having a corresponding one on the sinister literal. A collection of four West Highland slots—as James Hogg would have called them—also merits a poring remark. The worthy Highlander, J. Rob, who brouebt them up to town to compete with dukes, and primes, and esquires, was carefully tending his beasts in IN non, and be was luckily able to point with exultation and delight to the significant placard above one of his beasts (a fine dun Kyloe, of the same breed as that vanquished by Guy, Ear: of Watwi.k) which announced that a price of 101 . had been awarded to him.

The show of sheep and of pigs was probably better than has of late years been exhibited. The gold fur sheep was awarded to a pen (No. 157) of three sheep, bred and fed by Mr. Webb, who also remind the pprrice 0(201 as feeder. The pigs were charming—their easy Ustlemeas, whilst dreaming of milk and barleymnal, and the petulant grunt with which they minted any attempt to disturb their Mambas, almost vested a wish to become one of the trlysiesn crow ; the happy state of innocence ia which, amnesia= of shame, they reeliesd the tint line of that celebrated slid Ugh& meg, "The pigs they lye," tic., was in Wilt may engeolug, more particularly when their infantile eimelNien is held In remembrance, their ages in few instances ezemailies 26 weeks—perfect babies.

Idrirrixo AT SIILIFFIELD.—A numerous meeting of the friends of Sir C. Eardley was held on Monday, in the Munc hen, Sheffield, in order to support hie election. The meeting was numerous and enthusiastic. E. Smith, Esq., presided, In the absence of that old and tried friend of reform, William Fisher, Esq., whose ill health confined him to the houso. The chairmen opened the proceedings by an admirable ana lysis of the claims of Mr. Denison, and an emphatic warning to the leaders of the liberal party against hanging back from the epeeist on this occasion, or going ever to Mr. Denison. K. Sully, Req who had been at a meeting of the Central Committee at Leeds, gave a very encouraging account of the reports from all parts of the lti , ling, and made some remark on the plain development of Mr. 's opinions, which was extorted by Sir Culling, at Halifax, on Saturday.—Mr. R.

THE NORFOLK ASSASSINATIONS. ADJOURNED INQUEST-FOURTH DAY. Yesterday, at Wymondham, the coroner and jury again met at 10 o'clock, to purrue their investigation rela tive to the murder of Mr. Jtrmy and his son. As hntore, they assembled at the petty moons room, in the King's Head len. The coroner commenced the proceedings by remarking that he had received a communication from the magistrates, stating that as a witness for whom he had issued a summon., Rosily Jainse,was at present in the Bridewell for safe ou'tody, they suggested that the coroner and the jury should adjourn to the Bridcwell to take her evidence. From the peculiar nature of the ea e it was deemed advisable that no one should be admitted to the inquiry but the coroner and jury ; and he (the coroner) thereture hop Al that the gentlemen of the press would not consider him as exercising any undue power, or wishing to interfere with the right they chimed to attend any public inquiry, by not permitting them to he present. He, however, should be happy to afford them all necessary information as to the general purport of the in quiry, and he trusted that they would not press their right to be present, nor think they were secluded from any improper motive. The coroner and jury then proceeded to the Bridewell, and our reporter, to be doubly sure, applied at the door of the prison fir admimion,which was guarded by a policemen, who observed that he had strict commands not to admit strangers. Several statement* have b. cn made relative to the female known as the " widow " James. Sin dresses in widow's weeds, and is al patently not more than twenty-five years of age. It is said that she had been living with Rush for a considerable time under the guise of governess to the family. On his bankruntcy she left Norfolk, and nothing was heard of her until a week or so before the murder, when she wee brought from London by Rush dressed as a widow. It was stated that aLe had Leen connected with some theatri cal teleplay in London. Early on Sunday, Mr. John Forrester, of the Mansion House, arrived at Wyrnondhun, to assist in investigating the facts connected with the murders. He bad an audience with Col. Oaks, the chief officer of the constabulary, and stated that he had been sent down at the instance of the re latives of the deceased. Findieg, however, that the county force and Norwich police had exercised every vigilance in the case, Forrester - left for town, to institute inquirio s in the metropolis. In the course of yesterday (Monday), the police, in con sequence of a communication they received treat the widow James, again made a strict .earth at Potash Farm, and in a pile of papers discovered a domino (half-meek, black). The police think, however, it was not the one worn by the dis guised assaroin. They do not believe that the murderer wore • mask. The one found must have been held to the taco by the hand, and se the asasasin is sworn to have had a pistol in auk hand, the difficulty in wearing the domino is obvious. The Ur:on:stance of Rush having ordered the widow Joalta to keep her room on the night of the murder, and his leav ing the house in a secret way, favours the opinion that he bad blackened his face and wore a profuse wig, --a wig amongst other things having been since found in the house. At about 2 o'clock the coroner and jury returned from the Bridewell to the inquest-room, and proceeded with the open inquiry. The Coroner then addressed the reporters of the London and local press, and informed them that they had been to the Bridewell and had taken the evident' of a female named Emily James with reference to the time of the evening of the 28th ult. when Rush left the house, the time of his return, and as to the state of his mind and general appearance after hie return, the particulars of which he did not feel called upon to explain, and which he hoped would not then be required. She bad given her evidence very clearly and satisfactory, but there was one thing which she was fearful might act prejudicially to her, as a e had stated on a former occasion that she was a widow, and which she now would not swear was the case. The deposition of the female was therefore refused, bat our reporter understood that she swore positively to Rush going out on the Monday night armed with pistols, and see ing him return after the murder greatly agitated. She did not nee him particularly, it being dark. He was very ill, and she had the curiosity to look through the keo hole of his bed room, and saw he was disguised. His head and face were covered, and be wore a long cloak. Thos cloak found by the police was the same. Several wingless were examined, but the only novel points in the evidence were the following : George Pons, constable in the county force, said, I took Rush hats custody. I searched him, and in his trousers pockets found • small purse containing money, 17 keys. and a pocket-book containing • cheque for 491 10a In the course of half-au-hour I delivered Ruh into the cus tody of another constable, while I made inquiries about Rush's boots. I went into the wash-house, and found there a pair of wet boots.—Coroner : Did they look as if they had been recently worn I—Witness: As if they had been worn on the previous night, and either wiped or washed. There wee another pair of boots, which were dry. They did not seem as if they had lately been need. I then took charge of Rush again, and went up into his bedroom, and discovered under his bed two pair of boots ; one pair were Bluchers (dirty), and the other patent leather, which were clean. I shortly afterwards left tee farm, with Rush, for Wymond ham, in his hone and cart. Mr. Hubbersty, • superintendent is the Norfolk consta bulary, said, in consequence of information he received, he searched Potash Farm on the morning following the murder. In a chest in Mr. Rash's bedroom he found a fur cap and wig. [dt was alone black lossg-haired wig. The olikerput lion, and it could be so arranged as to add much to the eonesalmeut of the face.]—Ceroner Did _you find these things at the bottom of the box I — Witness : The wig I found nearly at the top; it appeared as it it bad been rudely shoved in ; the cap was lower down by the side. I don't knew whether the box had been previo•sly searched. It was not locked. The box stood in • dark closet in the bedroom. The inquiry was proceeding when our preel was des patched (half-past 6 o'clock), it being understood that the in quiry would continue for ems hours. THE EXCLUSION or REPORTERS from the examinations before the magistrate' at Norwich has given rice to many cor.tradietery rumours as to what statements were really made by the witnesses. The following statements are now said to have been made by a lad mined Smith who we is ineh's service, and by a constab le named Futter. It is stated that a qnansty of straw or litter had been, about • math sham, GM do. a upon a footpath leading by the most di route from Rush's hours to Stanfield-hall, and that about twelve o'clock on Tuesday, the day of the mur ders, Rash directed the boy Smith to lay down fresh litter on • portion of this footpath. He also gave orders to another boy, so late as four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, to lay down litter on the other por tion of this footpath, the presumption being that the litter was laid down to conceal the prisoner's footmarks out his way hems from the scene of the murder. Footmarks were traced in the direct path between Stanfield hall and the prisoner's residence on the morning after the murder, but a great deal of min had fallen in the night, which had obliterated to • cossiderable extent the impressions left by the feet of the San who bad passed over the ground. Rush's boots were cammeed with the masks thus left, and were found to cor =dimwit& se Is as they went, although the foot ewe delieleatin the imprewien of the heel, as if, on assesat of the slipper/ steles of the gonad, or hem same ether eases, the mia had walked emu his toss or the fore part of his feet. The distance between the Polish Farm, wham the prisoner slept ea the night of the murders, and Stanfield-hall, is about seven furlongs. It semen by the short-head writer's notes of the cue, that when Rash was belie the Chart of Beakriptcy, the de amid Mr. Jitney, sea. demeibed the state of things on Stenfield-hall farm who; he west to &strain for rent, and admitted taking pomades of a paper, which Rush declared had reference to the disputed right to the Staafleithall estate. The prise ia the report is as follows : " Kr. Jassy obi there were immense heaps of straw lying about is all di/maims, sad under one of them I found a fat pig. I understood there was &siren chest in the how with mum in it, and I was asked to break it open, but I would not do it until some days afterwards, as I thought it might contain papers of value only to himself. I never was bet ones above the ground-floor in Rush's house. He went with me up stairs and opened the chest. I expected to Sad SOK and upwards I turned over some papa, bat DM so .—The Cesamissioner : Why did yes sap* s had dad that f— . foray : Because his mother add me eke had paid hha for the valuation of the stock on Potash Farm 0001. and MOM oa the previews Saturday. On Sunday, the 10th, the mate of the bankrupt wu taken off his carts, sad her name was pat upon them. It appeared to be a colourable pomades. That lady died about a week since. The bankrupt here appeared to be annewhat affected.] I ,:id net take either cask-book or labour-book from the farm, nor authorise anybody to remove the books. The paper I t o ok out of the chest was the draft of an un executed will. I had the bankrupt's consent.—This the bank rupt denied, and asserted throughout that the paper related to the disputed ownenhip of Stanfield ball estate.—Mr. Jenny produced a paper, which he declared wu the one he took.—The Commissioner passed the bankrupt's exami nation." FITNILAL or TRZ DlCZAZED.—Yesterday the remains of the murdered gentlemen were buried in a newly-firmed vault on the south side of Wymondham 'thumb. la the early part of the day all the shops in the town were aloud, the blinds of all the private dwellings were dews, and many of the inhabitants were attired in mourning. The vicinity of the church was greatly crowded. Amongst the c hief mourners were Mr. Thomas Preston (boatherof Mr. Jenny), Sir Thomas Beevor, Bart. (brother in-law), Mr. T. Beevor, Mr. Poster, Mr. Chevalier, Mr. Jepson, Mr. Chambers, and others. Mr. Press, the coroner, and the whole of the jury (who, to attend, had adjourned their private sitting iu the Bridewell for a short time) also took part in the mournful ceremony. IRELAND. APPALLING SACRIFICE OF LIFE ON BOARD A SHIP. Dunwr, Dac. G. List evening an appalling communication was made by telegraph to the authorities at the Castle from the Mayor of Londonderry. It appea-s that on Sunday. during a heavy storm, an emigrant ship, also called the Londonderry, put into the above port, when the dreadful discovery was made that there were 40 to be disembarked. The vessel, it seems, sail fr om Sligo on Friday with a great. num ber of emigrants on their way to Liverpool, to be trans-shipped to the United States. Among them were several wealthy farmers, who had, or were reported to have, large sums of money on board. A communication from the Derry Sentinel office, Monday morning, after stating that an inquest had taken place on the body of one of the sufferers, and had been adjourned, proceeds thus : "It appeared from the evidence tendered that the Londonderry steamer left Sligo for Liverpool at four o'clock on Friday evening, having on board, besides cattle, &c., nearly one hundred and fifty steerage passengers, the greater number of whom were on their way to America; and that the evening became so boisterous that none but the crew could keep the deck. The passengers were ordered below, the hatch, or companion , was drawn partially across ; but it appears that sufficient space was not left for the purpose of ventilation, which caused the unfortunate people below to experience all the horrors of suffocation. One passenger, more fortunate than the rest, succeeded in gaining the deck, and alarmed the mate, when he, with some of the crew, hastened to their relief; but it was too late-73 human beings had ceased to exist. It would be premature to go further with the matter at present , as the inquest is pending. The captain and crew have been taken into custody." The gentry of the Tuam district have held a meet ing to complain of the poor law, and its operation. Tney declare that the effects of a visitation of provi dence ought not to be borne exclusively by victims of that scourge. That the imperial legisla tion is bound to provide for the averting of the star vation that prevails. That the poor law is defective, inasmuch as it throws the support of the poor on one class of property ; and they claim that an income tax be imposed to support the poor; that a discrimina tion be made between the resident proprietor and the absentee, and that the areas of taxation should be lessened. _ _ _ The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the Hibernian Bank was held yesterday, the governor, Alderman Timothy O'Brien, M.P., presiding. From the account statement read, it appeared that the net profits of the bank for the year ending lst Nov. were 18,0251. 158.7 d. on a paid-up capital of 250,0001. Losses on banking in 1847 were 12,0001. A dividend of 5 per cent. was declared. The Evening Mail says " A new question of in ternational law will arise upon the proceeding referred to in the following circular : Doubtless the club law will not sanction the condemnation of a party unheard, and therefore a writ of habeas ewes must issue to bring up the body of Mr. William Smith O'Brien, M.P., on Friday, the 15th of December, 1848, at 1 o'clock p.m., to be solemnly arraigned in Pall-mall. The Queen's writ used not to run in Connemara. Whether the writ of the Oxford and Cambridge University Club will ran into Richmond Penitentiary or not is a question for the gentlemen of the long robe. It may give them as good an occasion u any other to talk nonsense for four or five weeks more : Oxford and Cambridge University Club, Nov. 29.--Sir,—A certifi cate, signed by thirty-two member. of the club, having been pre meted to the committee, certifying that the conduct of William Smith O'Brien, Fog., M.P., hos been, in their opinion, derogatory to his abides in sodall, and injurious to the character and interlude of the club.

EXCLUSION OP CATHOLICS PROM JUJU/IC—A memorial is io course of signature throughout the city, and numerous names are being attached to it, protesting against the exclu sion of R•iman catholic, from juries, as against the spirit of the Emancipation Act. This document will probably reach the hands of Lord Clarendon on his arrival. SCOTLAND. DIATE or Mit. A. Vorason.—A letter from Edin burgh announces, says the Atheneum, the death, in that city, of Mr. Andrew Wilson. Mr. Wilson's is a name well known to those conversant with art. No mean proficient himself as a landscape painter, he was for many years master of the Trustees' Acielemy in Edinburgh; and many as artist now enjoying celebrity in Scotland is indebted to Mr. Wilson for his induction into the elementary knowledge of his profession. Having filled the mastership for many years, be retired to the Continent, where he pulsed more than twenty years of the latter part of his life—chisely at Genoa. The readers of the late Allan Cunningham's "Life of Wilkie" will recollect the correspondence between the latter I and Sir Robert Peel relative to certain portraits by Vandyke of which Sir David negotiated the purchase from Mr. Wilson on behalf of the baronet. Many of these 1. tters are &erne teristh of all the parties. To Mr. Wilson's long residence abroad and intimate acquaintance at ones with Italian col lections and with the circumstances and necessities of their owner, we are indebted fur the enrichment ;fauny British collre inns betides Sir Robert Peel's. Mr. Wilson SUed at one time—many Tsars ago—the office of professor of drawing at the Military College at Sandhanit. PROVINCIAL. FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL ABusze.—At Kidder minster on Friday, a public meeting (convened by the mayor i in pursuance of a regal ition presented to him, signed by magistrates, town councillors, and most of the other respect- able inhabitants in the borough) was held for the purpose of I adopting measures with the view to secure for the town a participation in the benefits 1/1411z from a munificently en towed schcol existing there, hut the advantages of which have been hitherto diverted from the purposes for which they were intended by the charter. The attendance was so numerous, that the meeting, which was opened in the Town Hall, wee subsequently adjourned to the open air. The chair was occupied by J. Tudor, Esq It seems that the school was established by a royal charter in the reign of Charles 1., and, u originally intended, was for the benefit of the sons of all persons resident in the oorough of Kidderminster, who were to be taught free ; rod according to the rules laid do.' n at an inquisition held in the borough, in the ninth you of she reign 0 1 Charles, tb a Bishop of Worcester presiding, it was provided that the vie cation of the boys should wholly employ the muter and his assistant, between whom the rents of the lands were to be ii*.ipoetiqned, exceptin; the sum of 40.., to be reserved for tr,soks for the scho la r, and a sufficiency to keep the school -house in repair. For a long course of Mean the be uhitants vim to have participated t o some of tb , advantages of their free school, but, at length, from the inadsptation of the system of tuition adopted to the circumstances of the times, and from other menses, the whole charity seems to have fallen almost into uselessness ; although the annual revenue arising from the estates is about 7001. per annum. It appears however, that some years since, in 1843 (as our reporter tuidersteod), in consequent, amuse application having been made to the lord Chancellor, new rake were laid down upon which the school should be in future assuaged. By this and subsequent (Gamma (the school is governed by koffees, who are self sleeted) obtained from the Court of Chancery, on the of the Bev. W. Corkin, the heed-master, rt atiti wrs promised that there ebould in future be forty boys on the foundation, who were to pay 11. per quarter, and all above that number 21, for that which the inhabitants contend should be free ; that the sum of 3W. annually should be expended in exhibitions ; that the free boys should not be admitted under the age of eight years, oe above that of fifteen ; and, further, that the head-master should be allowed an unlimited number of boarders. The first feoffment obtained the sanction of the Court of Chancery in the year 1845 ; other powers have been obtained from the mine source since, and the master of the school has now an other petition, filed on the 11th ult., for the approbation of the Lord Chancellor, the object of which seems to be to ex tend the petitioner's means of keeping the free boys from the schools, inasmuch as • it proposes that he shall have power to admit or exclude appli cants according to the special circumstances of the case, and that there shall be rely four meetings in the year of the master and feoffees, at which the applications of pa rents for the admission of boys can be taken into considera tion. The main object seems to have been to drive the free boys from the school altogether. At the present time there are only 16 in the school. There are a large number of boarders (strangers) not on the foundation, but who appear to have participated in all the advantages of the school, re ceiving nearly all the prises at the exhibitions, and for whose accommodation, jointly with the head mater's, a new school house has been erected out of the tows, notwithstanding that the old one has been in every way eligible. The sons of dissenters have been systematiftlly excluded, and an attempt has been recently made to exclude the sons of tradesmen. These introductory remarks will best explain the nature of end grounds fur the proceedings at this meet ing, embodying as it does facts, which our reporter gleaned on the spot. Some time since, an influential and spirited rah abitaut of the borough (Mr. G. Griffithe) bestirred him self in the matter, and an effort will shortly he made to in dium the Lord Chancellor to make such orders as shall have the effect of re-opening the school to those for whom it was intended. In the course of the proceedings at this meeting, the following letters were read from the head master. The first is addressed to a poor widow whose son was, at the time it was written, on the foundation : Mr.Cookln will be obliged by Mrs. Humphries' informing him whether it is her intention to pay the sum due for her son's (elocution, or whether it will be aesrry fur Mt. Coed ln to take steps for the re covery of the same.—Woodfield-house. March 19, The following was received by a tradesman of the town who had a desire ear his son to be a boarder in the school : Deer ftir,—You will, I hope, excuse my writing to you once again on the subject of your son, but, sa I feel a great Interest as well gem rally in my whoa as separately in the several boys •ho join it, I am balked to lay before you several grounds upon which I think It far a ur To re ar d d el ilier bre m my for 67 ' 17 sa lit th st Ibe shou l d i n d vii t tVd n g e t ie foundationnever good for a boy to be a boarder in the same town in which he lives, the daily meeting with those who are hie companions during the holidays and as is this cam the daily passing his own home severs' times a day, keeps a boy's mind continually unsettled, and altogether indisposes him for study. Secondly, you wit, I am sure, excuse my saying that the circumstance of your being in bode sea In the same town will, I fear, operate prejudicially te your son amongst his nwerantana. I have given the matter my very serious consideration; and, although advising you contrary to ray see inte rests, I know that I am only acting civilly towards yourself and to. wards your son In untlng upon you the necesdty of either pleciag your sea upon the foundatlon of Kidderminster echoed (which you may do at a coat of It. per quarter, and have every advantage whichthe scho ol offers), or else sending him to a school a shit distance from home. I sinteredy hope you will adopt the former COUR*, as I am seeured It will give you every siatisfaction.—Wittuu Locsire. H. Brinton, Esq., a magistrate of the borough, moved the first resolution, which, generally, expressed the disapproba tion of the meeting at the present system of conducting the echoed. In the course of his speech he spoke of the advan tages of education, and of the necessity there woe, especially in these times of depression in trade, that schools of this cha racter should be made what they were intended to be— available to the poor. lie expressed an opinion that in this school the master possessed too much power, and the feoffees too little, and complained that of late years the mayor of the town, who might be supposed generally to represent the burgesses, had been systematically excluded from the (coffees. He strongly condemned the system which had been adopted of excluding the children of dissenters from this school, especially after parliament had removed BO many dis abilities from that body ; and expressed a hope that the Lord Chancellor would place the school on such a foot ing that it would benefit the inhabitants of the town, as in tended by its munificent founder.—Mr. G. Griffiths exposed the system which had been adopted at the school of keeping the boys on the foundation in the background, and allowing the boarders to carry off all the prises at the e xhibition—a circumstance which had drawn from the Bishop of Wor cester, the master of the echoed, an expression of his sur prise, and his wish that at the next exhihitien a greater space would be occupied by the free scholars. This speaker, at great length, dawned the abuses existing in the school: he reads letter from Mr. Godson, M.P., who admitted" that there was certainly much matter welch called fur explana tion and improvement." Re complained, =mover, that the system of education pursued in tLis school was very inefficient as a commercial education, and entered into statistics to show that the in come of the head master of this school (inclusive of the sum received for his boarders) was not much less than 1,3001. a year. In conclusion, Mr. Griffiths said that he had offered to give up all the money which had been raised to carry on this suit in Chancery towards the relief of the poor in the town during the winter, if some more liberal system was adopted with reference to the free boys—one more really in consonance with the purpose for which the endowment had been made.—The other speakers were Mr. Councillor Yates, Mr. Councillor Fawseett, Mr. Councillor Lloyd, Mr. Bran s:on, and others, who spoke of the invidious distinctions made between the scholar on the foundation and the boarders in the school, and detailed the various grievances connected with its management. At the same time a very de termined purpose was manifested to obtain redress, if pot. sible, from the Lord Chsncelor. The affair is exciting great interest in the neighbourhood, and the meeting, which was a very spirited one, broke up at three o'clock, all the resale tions having been passed unanimously. The precise amount of the money drawn annually tram the endowment at this sel.eul by the ftev. W. Cochin, its head master, does not ap pear to be very well known, but it is estimated at 4001. per annum, in addition to a handsome residence and school house, on which alone 1,2001. was expended, aid the annual value of which is estimated at 1201. a year. DERBYE.MRE. MURDER IN A LUNATIC AeTtuix.—A correspondent says:—" Oa Monday a jury assembled at the Town-hall, Derby, to investigate a serious ease, in the presence of the mayor and visiting justices. From the evidence adduced I collect the following particulars:—About six months ago a young man, aged 23, very respectably connected, was *eat to thu Derby asylum in a state of great imbecility of mind and physical weakness. He was not a violent lunatic, and con sequently was not secluded. He associated with other patients, perambulated the grounds, and even on the after noon of the day preceding the murder which caused the in vestigation, was asked by Mrs. Brigstock, the wile of the physician who had charge of the asylum, to walk with her, but he refused. Until within this week or ten days past, a keeper slept in the same room, but since that time the keeper slept with two patients in an adjoining apartment, and the young lunatic and • companion named Tomlinson (who was also oonaidered harmless) slept by themselves. The ke. per saw them in bed between seven and eight o'clock at night, and, as usual, locked the door. About six o'clock on the follow big morning one of the patient., whose duty it was to get up and light the fires, went to the keeper's room for a light, whereupon Tomlinson commenced singing, as was cus tomary with him every morning when he beard people stirring. The keeper heard him sing some little time, when he ceased, and in about five minutes afterwards an unusual noise was heard, which caused the keeper to leap out of bed and rash into the room. It was not sufficiently light to observe the state of things very minutely, but on entering he sew the young lunatic standing by his bad-side, with nothing . on but his shirt, and his companion Tomlinson lying groaning upon the floor, in a state of nudity. The keeper's first act was to " push the young man down upon the bed, and cover him over; his second, to fetch a light and assistance, and call Dr. Brigstock. On returning to the room, Tomlinson had breathed his Int. His skull was split, lower jaw broken, and several teeth knocked out, and a pool of blood lay upon the floor. On making further search, a piece of thick woo d was found is scorner of the room, which was stained with blood ; this piece of wood proved to be a lath taken from the bed on which the murderer slept; and it is conjectured that the deceased was in the act of changing his shirt, when his companion sprang out of bed, and struck him several blows with the lath. He denied the act and would act believe that Tomlinson was dead. Dur ing the investigation the prisoner looked bewildered, and frequently muttered something in an inaudible voice. He looked thin and emaciated. Tnis occurrence has thrown tie relations into great grief, and I have foreborne mentioning his name on their account. He was committed to the county gaol on a &ergs of wilful murder, and now awaits his Vial. DZVONSIIIRE. BURGLARY AND MURDER.—Several robberies have recently been committed in and near Crediton. On Friday a farmer, named Wallington, was roused in the night by burglars who, not content • ith stealing his money, beat him very severely on the head with bludgeons. On the follow ing night the house of an aged woman named Holman, at Taphuuse, Tedbury St. M ary , was broken , into, and from the appearance of the premises next day, it is supposed she made some resistance, for her body was found quite lifeless on her bed ; a chest of drawers and a chair being upon rer, where they had apparently been placed to suffocate her. The murderers have net yet been discovered. PUBEYISM IN PLTmotrni.—A oorreepondent says: On Saturday last a meeting was held at the Central-hall, Plymouth, 'to rake into consideration the best means of protesting against the extraordinary services performed by the Rev. G. R. Pry nne at St. Peter's Church, on the pre. ceding Sunday morning." The Bishop of Exeter, availing himself of bir Robert Peel's Act, h.,ss been endeavouring to erect some seven or eight district chapels, which would have the ecclesiastical character of pariah churches under that statute. The Rev. John Hawker, who for • series of years occupied Bided Chapel, dying, efforts were made to pur chase that chapel for one of these district churches. It was reported that the Roman catholics were in treaty for that edifice, and subscriptions were freely given to the Rev. Mr. Godfrey, who held his appointment from the Treasury—sub scriptions contributed both by dissenters and churchmen, icor the purchase and conversion of B.dail Chapel into a district church. Subsequently Mr. Goan, was ordered and the mond Lamination being with tim - 1 1 ; • •t ; ,-: 4 , 1 -2 : 21 Fa l Is it • 7/10
