THE MURDER AT WINTON. ?ROM THE STOCKPORT ADVISKTISKR. KIRBY LONSDALK, MAT 31. Ai a great sensation was caused by the arrival of L a vender, Blears, the landlord, and others, by the New -eagle co ch this morning, on their way to Appleby, where the murderers M'Keands have been secured by a rnan of the name of Grime, on Monday last, the follow. ing de:ail of which I believe to be correct : Grime had heard of the murder and description of those suspected, a•,J fancied he recognised them passing through Ap- pleby ; he immediately informed the constables of th it place, who agreed t $ join him in the pursuit; bit Grime was so eager that he got a horse, and overtook tilem on the road to Kirby S:ephen, fell into conversa ..ion, and his suspicion being strengthened he passed them. On coming to a lone public-house he put up his horse. One of them being a considerable distance before the other, Grime accosted the latter, saying, s.you appear fatigued, will you take a glass?" He sa id •, Yes." There was not another man near, nothing but women in the horse, but Grime had the temerity to seize him; a violent struggle ensued, he ovtrpuwered him. and bound him fast, after having taken a loaded pistol from him. He then, with assistance, pursued and overtook the other, succeeded in securing him also--had them lodged prison, and sent off to Man chester immediately. Lavender has ordered beds in Lancaster to-night at the King's Arms, and in hall an hour we hope to see the villains by the returning coach. PRIVATE LETTER. ECCLIS, MAT 211.—1 have seen Mrs. Blears, the landlady who had so narrow an escape from the murderous M'Keands. She was in the parlour on the ground floor, in a bed hung with curtains of checked cotton. The family were just finishing their dinner in the same room. She appeared comfortable and composed. Her brow, neck, chin, and various parts of her face were striped with plas ters, covering the gashes she had received. One eye was closed, that beneath which the knife stuck fast; the other had an espressien of calmness and tranquillity which I could not have expected. I asked her hew she was; sbe said," thank you, Sir, I am pretty considering. You see," she continued," my flesh is sound, and it Deis kindly. lam better a deal than could have been expected."— •• What horrid sensations you must have felt struggling with the vil lain Pray how did he first attack you '" "He tore my cap off and :anent me by the hair, and dragged me on my knees. and then," ' tie said—'" and then when I saw hint pull the knife, breet an' glizzenin, Cr.' under his coat, I knew what he was for. His ftrot cut was made at my neck here, an' his second at this place—(point. ing to the left side of her lower jaw)—an' then he cut me all over brow, as you see. He was aintin at my face all the while, but kept hint off, an' caught the knife on these other places which you sec. Ai. then, whets the lad had passed us, he took a swingin pian E e, and it lighted under my eye, where it stuck near an hour." UNITED CHILIAN COMPANY. Yes'erday a most extraordinary Meeting of this Company tuck pLice at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhil!. It was expected that.Lurd Teynhain would have attended, according to his own appointment, but Mr. Annichini informed the Shareholders that his Lordship had expressed his dislike to him of being blown up, particularly as he had determined not to pay the amount demanded of him by the Company. He had resolved not to pay that amount, because Mr. Hen dricks, the projector, having failed, his assignees might time down upon his Lordship for the sum of SW. l which he was indebted to that Gentleman—(Laughter.) Mr. ANNICHINI was cAllrd to the Chair, and lie stated that he had in vain endeavoured to prevail upon Lis Lordship to attend and pay the Shareholders. "It was," his Lordship observed, " all nonsense"—(Loud laughter ) Mr. LIENDAICKS said, he should, if the Shareholders pleased, produce a written authority of his assignees, totally exonerating his Lordship from the obligation to the estate, if he would pay to the Company the money he owed to Mr. Hendricks. The Gilalama?' accused Mr. Hendricks of having had a knowledge of all the objectionable transactions in this Company, and of having with that knowledge persevered in carrying it on. Mr. HENDRICKS denied the charge, and gave this itccGunt of his transaction with Lord Teynham ;—His Lordship, he stated, called upon him in a great hurry on the 3u of May, and asked him for the loan of forty Pe: u vian Shares, which he promised to return in a short time. His Lordship, however, forgot to bring back ihe Shares, hut went to a Broker immediately, and sold thein—( Loud laughter.)—After frequent ineffectual applications, his Lordship said he had an upholsterer whom he would order to give him furniture to that amount. When next he saw Lord Teynham, his Lord ship told him he had spoken to Gillows, his upholsterer, and it was all right. He (Mr. Hendricks) would be credited for 800/, but when he went to Mr. Glows, that Gentleman said he knew nothing of the circum stance—(L.oud laughter).—Now this course he thought himself at liberty to adopt for his own protection, as, when he found it was impossible to get money, he was justified in taking any valuable consideration. A number of Shareholders—When did this take place? liasosicss—On the Ed of May. The Shareholders expressed the utmost indignation upon hearing this acknowledgment. They strongly Censured Mr. Hendricks fur having allowed them to pay their deposits on the Shares on the 30th of May, %vial the knowledge of such conduct upon the part of the Directors. There still remains a little money in the hands of the I: .nkers, and it was supposed by some of the Share holders that the Bankers were responsible for the money they had paid for the checks. __ ___ Mr. WILL A'S CLaax, however, ascertained that the Bankers bad Leen authorized to pay the checks. The Shareholders then universally expressed their despair at ever receiving any More money, and some went off at a 'loss of 2001. others of 1001. kc. after Laving resolved tolorm a Committee to consult a Eno lessional man upon the best weans of recovering the remainder of their deposit money. Monday afternoon, the 29th, the infant child of Sir Trims' BILMIANII (born at Rio Janeiro, on the voyage (rein New South Wales), died on board the Mary Hope. The body has been enclosed in a leaden coffin, and wilt go reload In t►e ship to be in ,erred in the family vault at Brisbane. Nk;ik CASTLE-UPON-TYNR, MAY 31.—At an earn► ur yesterday morning, a tremendous explosion of orogen gas took place in the Whitfield Pic (the colliery that supplies the Landon market with " Town• ley coals,") situate in the parish of Ryton, in the county Lt Durham, the property cf George Dunn and Sons, Esqrs. in this town. The extent of the evil is not yet accurately ascertained : four men have been brought to the bank dead, though it is strongly feared the total loss of hie sill not be short of thirty individuals, men and boys. The head viewer, Mr. Hall, as soon as the accident happened, went down the shaft, to aid if possible tne-unhappy sufferers; he was, ..however, 'tuic►ly compelled to ascend, owing to the extremely ui state of the pit.

He described himself in his schedule as having been formerly a merchant at ' Honduras, and at Charleston, North America, and as a Colonel in the Colombian service. The insolvent was opposed by Mr. Coots, on behalf of Mr. Stephen Cos. a livery stabk keeper, and who was a creditor for 844 the price of a valuable horse sold to the Colonel. It appeared from the statement of the insolvent, that he had Leen for several years in the Colombian service, in which he had been made a Colonel, and at one period he had the honorary rank of General, from commanding a brigade ; he did not continue to hold that rank, as his appointment was only temporary : he retired from the South American service, but still held his commis sion as Colonel, without receiving any pay, as those °lnsets that absented themselves from thecountry were not entitled to receive pay. Shortly alter his arrival in London, in April 1825, he toik a furnished house at George -terrace, Peckham New 'Town. In December last, he bought a horse (described as goods in the sche dule) from Mr. Cox for 841.; he did not represent to him that he had money in a bank in the Strand. Three days after he purchased the horse he was taken danger ously ill, and was confined to his house for 15 days. He never mounted the horse, and was obliged to leave town for Bath. The horse was sent to the country, and brought back to town, where it was ultimately sold at the Bazaar for 401. or 50/. having been first sent to Tattersall's for sale without success, as it turned out to be unsound.—' It was sold for him, by a friend of his, Mr. Chace, for forty or fifty pounds, which sum was all laid out to pay the expenses attending the keep of the horse. —He (the Colonel) did not receive a farthing of , the money, nor did he know to whom the horse was sold. HiS friend (Mr. Chace) afterwards arre.,ted him for a debt of 101. The debts in his schedule amounted to 2,8001. and he had only received value for 5001. He WAS put into prison in March last, and be was so ill before that period that he did nut think of returning the horse. Mr. Cox, jun. stated that his Licher keeps a livery stable in Samford -street, 131aCkfriars-road. The insol vent celled on him about tbe end of last December, in company with a Utr. Nlarcin. He said he wanted , w purchase a horse, and in , roduced himself as General, Low. He bought the horse in question, and said he would pay reedy money for it, but he had n u t so m uch money at that MOIIICRI, as he had been very unfo tonate in losing his half-yearly dividends by the failure of his banker, wl ere lie was in the habit of receiving the interest of 10,0001. as an annuity but he added, that he had a friend in the City, who, he thought would advance him the above sum. He returned the same evening, and said he could not see his agri:t, and that it would be out of his power to take the horse for a day or two. In the interim witness received the lollov.i ng " December 28. _ _ " Gen. Low's compliments to Zr. Cox, and is so7lit6;ili;Tvas net able to get cash. He could not draw upon his agent, as he was already in advance with him; but if ?Ir. C. has no objection he would give him a bill on his agent at two months, or his own ac ceptance at one month, fur the price of the horse : if so, be will please to send ms answer to the General by the bearer." Witness consented to take the General's acceptance, and a bill was according drawn, addressed to General Low, George Terrace, Peckham. The insolvent called in A day or two afterwards. accepted the bill, and took away the horse. A new days before the bill became due, witness received a note from the General's Lady, stating that he was in Bath. Here the note was shfwn to the insolvent, who ac knowledged that it was in the handwriting of his wife, but written without I.i: authority. He was at Bath or in Hampshire when it WAS written. Mr. Cox, in continuation, stated that he received the note about the latter end of January, a day or two before the bill became due; two or three evenings pre. vicusly he saw the Colonel in the Blackfriars Road, between seven and eight o'clock. The pet son who was walking w:th him appeared to be the same who brought the note a few evenings afterwards. Witness remarked to tire at the time that he considered it an imposition. The horse sold to the insolvent was perfectly sound. Witness was induced to part with it by the insolvent's reptesenting himself a General in the Army, and pos sessed of property in a bank ; if he (Mr. Cox) had known he was ohly a Colonel in the Colombian service, he should most eertaitly act have let him take the horse. Insolvent—l most solemnly swear that I never mentioned the names of the bankers to Mr. Cox, and I positively deny having been in the Blaciariars Road es the evening he mentioned (the 27th Jan). I left London about a fortnight after I bought the horse, and I re mained in Bath or Hampshire till within a few days before my arrest ON the k7th or lath of March last. Mr. 13rockett, another opposing creditor, stated that the insolvent was indebted to him the sum of 171. for rent of a cottage near Pecklam. Witness understood irons hits that he was a Colonel in his Majesty's service, and he was so described iu the agreement, which was drawn up, and. signed by him, and which was read in his prcence. The Insolvent positively denied having ever represented himself to the last witness as a Colonel in his Majesty's service. Mr. Hwy having addressed the Court on the pan of the Insolvent, The Citric Coinsissinnaa said, that the Court had come to the determination of remanding the insolvent, as Mr. Chace, who sold the horse, must be brought forward tp give hia evidence, which was very material ; the insolvent might also get any other witnebses be thought proper, to explain the transaction at the next hearing, of which he should give four days' notice to the opposing creditors. PERISTIMPAIC PANORAMA.—The Peristrephic Pano. rants at Spring G ardens , which has always been a very attractive ezhibition, opened, Monday, with a new painting, the subject of which is the bombardment of Algiers by the British fleet, tinder the commatid of Lord Exmouvar. The scene is extremely well re. presented, said many parts of the picture are executed with copal deraLle boldness aid spirit. The exhibition cannot fail of proving peculiarly attractive, and we trust that the proprietor *ill be re paid for the expense to which he must obviously have been put in preparing it. DEATH EXTRAORDINARY. • Yesterday died, at his hnuee in Pa lace Yard, West • minter, Mr. Parliament, a persenage of high conside• ration and extensive dealings in every part of the wok ld. The deceased boasted a long line or ancestors. The family are of Saxon descent, and their origin rl name i, said to have been Witenagemote,—a name famed for sound sense, discretion, and love of liberty. A family possessing such principles could not expect much favour in the eyes of despotism : accordingly we lose sight of them immediately after the Conquest ; but they still survived, although in a totally neglected and abject state. It was not unt il t h e re i gn o f H enry 111. they emerged from the obscurity to which they had been so lung consigned, and began to resume their ancient splendour under the assumed name of Parliament. All great folks in England are fond of 1 tracing their descent from a Norman stock, and the family of Witenagemotes appear to have participated in this foible. In the reign of Henry 111. we find them spoken of as possessing considerable weight and influence in the country, and from all the family records and papers, it appears that they continued to increase in affluence and importance. Indeed, some of their flat terers have been blasphemous enough to clothe them with one of the attributes of the Derry, and to boast the omnipotence of the Parliaments. Certain it is, how ever, that their power, which was never strictly defined, is immense, add we are grieved to say that they have often abused it. This was particularly the case from the reign of Henry VII. down to that of William 111. of glorious memory. In that long and eventful period, the conduct of the Messrs. Parliament was often wicked and disgraceful. Their meanness, their sycophancy, their cruelty, and disregard of all moral and honourable prihciple, have been reprobated by every historian. So itolotioos, indeed, did they become, and in such con tempt and derision were they held by the people of Eng • land, that instead of bring lucked up to with veneration and respect, they became subjects of scoff and scorn to the mob,by whom t;,ey were nicknamed,and treated with every other indignity. Thos we read of, among the Par liaments of that in , eival, the hiump and the Praise God Bat e•bone, the latter so designated as a pitiful, canting, hypocritical fellow. From the reign of William 111. the Parliaments, however, began to improve,to become more grave and correct,and mare devoted to character and bu siness; but even their admirers must admit, that however improved in other respects, they have, since that period, one and all of them been guilty of one great fault, which has outweighed every other good quality they possessed ; they have been downright prodigals, squandet ing not only their annual income, which was magnificent, but running over head and ears in debt; mortgaging their noble estate, and loading it, and every one connected with it, with incumbrances of every kind; and that, for the greater part, not for the grati• fication of their own people, but to lavish it upon foreigners and impostors, who have never failed to repay them with ingratitude. Tile personage whose dissolution we now record, to do him justice, we must admit, struggled hard with the difficulties entailed upon him by his predecessors, and laboured night and day to relieve himself from their pressure. His labour, his industry, his love of economy, were not without effect. Ilc fortunately succeeded in getting rid of incumbrances to the amount of many millions a year; but, bad he been blessed with patriarchal lon gevity, it is not to be presumed he could accomplish the taste of-clear:ng off the whole in the course of his long life. In fact, them is scarcely a man in the country, of any property, who has dot a claim for money lent ,on andbities, or other security, the interest of which must be regularly paid, or the country must submit to a natiAbal bankruptcy. The late Mr. Par liament also differed from his ancestors, who were 'of a quarrelsome and tin bulent disposition, in this ;—he was of a quiet, and peaceable temper, liberal, and kind to his neighbours—qualities which, indeed, some think he carried to an excess; and we think not without rea son, for few, it any of them, have proved themselves worthy of his kindness. Among his other good qualities he was very 'attentive to business, and regular in his habits—au early riser, and seldom sitting up after twelve o'clock at night. Among his foibles may be reckoned garrulity. He was an eternal talker, and upon every subject, foreign and domestic. He affected to know everybody's business. Nothing could come amiss to him. But, however great his loquacity, in elegance of diction he was tar interior to his immediate ances tors, some of whom were famed for oratory. At the same time, if we listen to Mr. Canning, Mr. Peel, and a few other friends, we must allow that he has often emitted flashes of the most splendid eloquence. Another of his foibles was his passion for building. He undertook to repair the town m.insion-houre, and the out offices, o Lich were in a sadly dilapidated state. In this attempt, no doubt, he added something to his comfort and accommodation ; but it must be admitted that in all these improvements and alterations he too often displayed bad taste and a consummate ignorance of the first principles of architecture. Indeed, his best spe cimens will not bear comparison with tome of the oldest buildings in the neighbourhood. The Lee Mr. Parlia ment died literally of old age. Those best acquainted with his constitution were decidedly of opinion that hr could not survive the present year. His dissolution, therefore, has been confidently predicted f r some time. Wednesday his case was pronounced desperate, and a few friends took their last leave of him. On the night of that day he became speechless, and in that state he remained until his final dissolution. This event had scarcely taken place when his Members might be seen scattered over the country, in every town and hamlet of which they were received, not as might be expected, with tears and lamentations for his loss, but welcomed with feasting, drinking, and every other demonstration of joy, as it the inhabitants were called upon to cele• orate a victory. That excellent young Nobleman, Lord John Russell,* who attended the deceased on his death- bed, took great pains to prevent this unsemly beha viour; but treatment of this kind appears to have been the fate reserved for all the family, and that it is in vain to attempt to control it. With respect to his successor, we knew nothing of him to enable us to form a correct opinion of his character. The people say he promise. well. There is little doubt he will prove a chip of the old block. Like many other great personages, he will have to encounter enemies, envious of his fame, and anxious to mar h is best works,and detract from his merits. With respect to tie moral chat acter of the personage just deceased, we have f rgot to observe that he has been often charged with corruption; but this is allowed to be a scandal propagated by his enemies, and that • Lord John, we are sorry to say, was one of those who formerly made an attempt to shorten the days of the gentleman of whom we speak, under the pretence of gently correcting and reforming him ; but bis murderous views were prevented by Mr. Richard Martin, whose humanity to animals is so censpicuou3. there is not one tittle of evidence to support it. He has been also charged with intriguing with lady, well known and long admired in the City, vulgarly nick named the Old Lady of Tlireadneedke street ; but this diso we believe is a weak invention of the enemy to sally :14 fair fame. Somt , flirtation there may have been, but it is well known that a great celdnesq, amounting almost to a misunderst.nding, existed between them at the time of his death. The late Mr. Parliament died in testate. Being only tenant for life, and having given away every thing he possessed' in grants, and other modes of distribution if his property, he had in fact, nothing left to dispose of. He had numerous depen dants in every rank of life. Indeed, even the Judges on the Bench, with all their boasted independence, had not wherewithal to buy a dinner, without his assistance. LAW ASSOCIATION. Thursday evening the Anniversary Meeting of the Friends and Supporter.; of this Institution took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen• street, Lincoln's Inn-fields; when, at about six o'clock, nearly 200 per sons sat down to dinner. JOSSPH Kaye, &q. in the Chair, supported by a numerous body of respectable Gentlemen, chiefly in the Law. After the cloth was removed, the usual Anthem sung, and the King and other toasts were di ank— The Secretary rose to announce to the Meeting that he had received a letter from Mr. Justice Gazelee. apor logizing for his absence, but enclosing a donation of 20 guinea's, and expressing a deep interest for the Institu tion. (Applauss.)--The Secretary afterwards read the Report, which stated that althciugh the capital fund had been increased by the purchase of a farther sum of 12001. Three per Cent. Stock, amounting together to 13,6001. the amount of annual subscriptions had dimi nished : which was to be regretted, as applications for permanent relief by the families of deceased mymbers had occurred. Under the permission to grant 1001. per annum for aiding the families of those attornies who might have died in distress, assistance had been granted in 13 instances, seven of which were new cases, and six in which donations had previously been given. 'Fhe Secretary stated several peculiar cases of distress where the parties had been liberally relieved, and the company seemed to feel the deepest interest. Several speeches were delivered in support of the Institution, and the 11Ieeting did not separate until a late hour. THE ARMY.
