After the bodies of these wretched men had been cut down, they were received into the waggon, which conveyed them to the place of execution, and ex tended on the elevated stage which had been con. articled in the vehicle. The procession of officers, constables, &c. was then reformed, and the re mains of the murderers were conveyed its 'slow and awful silence through the town of Godalosing until they arrived at the house of the late Mr. Cherwell. Here the procession halted, and the bodies of Chen sell and Cljalcraft were removed front the waggon into the kitchen of the house, one of them being placed on the very spot where the housekeeper, Tilzabeth Wilson, was found murdered. After this' the Surgeons proceeded to perform the first offices of dissection, and the bodies in this state were left ex posed to the gaze of thousands, who, throughout the day eagerly rushed in to view them. The effect of this awful scene may be imagined but not s describerl. The horror and reflection, however, which it ex cited, will, it is hoped, produce that salutary warn ing a nd effect, which may in future prevent the re currence of those deeds which gave rise to the sad spectacle. It will he recollected that Chalcraft gave as a rea son for refusing to see the dead body of his murdered master, toe shuddering feeling with which he had viewed the man murdered at Petersfleld*. From what has since transpired, there is every probability that his reason for , lisliking the sight was the same in tenth ca•Pa, namely, his connection with the act of murder. It is singular that tie and Chennell were at the :•' ,4•P at the 'iMP the for mer crime was perpetrated, end •i at s , me of the 0 , hes of the *Om were found near Gorlalming, where Chalcraft Another murder +, it will be recollected too, was perpetrated at Farnham, and the two criminals were there at the time, while the knife found in the house appeared to be one of Chennell's father's. Other acts of the kind have been attributed to them, though not on so good foundation. • The name of this man was Z. Senrson: his father was +clerk at the Three Cups waggoa-odire.Alitertgate-sireet ; bay- ing acquired some property, be had resolved to increase it, by • ing to sea; on his way to Portsmouth he stopped to take some refreshment at Peteistield, when impiiideitils looking a display of what he had about him, he Via.: Wav-I•tid. ii is sap. posed, by Chancel and Cliale-tift, who had hero diiukiug ut the puhlic•liouse, and murdered. + The murder here alluded in was that of a Mr. Stillwell, a small farmer. who resided in Ilolt Vilma. near Forum:oh— Stillwell W:s6 of most penurious habits, tint not s uffer a f e male to come uear him, performed all household (Airs himself. and, apprehensive of being robbed, always kept his doors locked nod his a 'minas fastened : having saved 3001. he made enquiry on a inarkessdas at Faruhum whit would give him ihs• bl i thest juiciest for his money. A day or two afterwards he wns round murdered ; the deed was supposed to have been perpetrated Willi two shoesessker's knives, supposed to have beets taken from the elder Mr. Chennell's house. ; -.l' • y sz to, Several of our Cornish Boroughs will long hare cause to remember the late General Election.— The contests at Fowey are already known to our readers; and are likely for some time, to afford a profitable harvest to the Gentlemen of the long lobe; the legal campaign was opened, in due form, at the late Assizes; having been pre ceded by Dome sharp skirmishing set the Courts above. The case of notorious Grampound i., however, likely to be attended with more serious consequences. The inveterate antipathy which the worthy and independent Electors evidenced to the bribery oath, during the progress of their election, bag already been recorded. The cause of this aver sion is pertly espisined by the fact, that the Grand Jury, at the late Assizes, found no less than thirty-six bills of indictment against as many of these privileged individuals for bribery.—The evidence to he given on there trials will exhibit a fair specimen of the practices which prevail in the generality of our Boroughs.— The s} stem needs only to be exposed to be reprobated by ems men possessed of common sense and common honesty. If the facts connected with the late Election bo fairly laid before the Hon. Moose, we do not see how the disfranchisement of the Borough is to he avoided. The Electors of Gram pound, desirous of making the most of their privi leges, went to niatket with their franchise, without the intervention of a Borough Broker ;—they have no Patron, and, therefore, there is no probability that the visitation doe to their transgressions will be everted by the i n tervention of noble influence, either in the Lower or the Upper House of Parliament. — (West Briton.) ATTEMPTED SUlClDL—Saturday RS Me. Blake of the Hampstead•road was going through Battle• bridge, he observed an elderly female of decent ap pearance, walking backwards and forwards, appa trendy in a very pe-turbed state. At length she approached the river Fleet, which coos through that part, and precipitited herself in. Mr. Blake in stantly flew to her assistance, and dragged her out covered with mud, and with some severe contusions on her head, she having 'fell with violence against some stones and rubbish in thwAitch. She had for some time lived in a respectable way at Pentonville, but lately became embarassed, and this she assigned as her reason for the rash attempt. A field of wheat of 40 acres, the property of Mr. COOMBE, of North Newton, in Somersetshire, was last week reaped and stacked in one day. To effect this 184 individuals were employed. A child, about ten years of age, last evening fell oat of a three pair of stairs window, at No. 10, Angel-court, Strand. Although much bort it is likely to recover. Coats EtChATI GS.

The name of this youpg woman was Mary Noakes Sands; she came from Strood to this town by Burch's coach, and was proceeding on her journey to Ticehursl, where her friends resi:led, and she had a bundle con taining articles of wealing apparel. When found, ahe was supposed to have been in the water a fort night, and exhibited a most shocking spectacle, hav ing a severe wound on the right temple, apparently inflicted with a hammer, and also several other con tusions on different parts of her body : the Coroner's Inquest returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against sorneperson or persons unknown. Nothing has since transpired to discover the perpetrator of this horrid deed, till Sunday last, when, as a soldier of the,9sth regiment was passing by the Kingsley's Head public. house, he was called in by the min above alluded to, whom he knew, having enlisted him on the pre ceding Friday to serve the Marines; they asked for a pot of porter, and while drinking it, the soldier observed, that the man looked very de jected, and asked him what was the matter? if he repented being enlisted ? if so, he might easily get out of it ; to which he replied, You don't know Dick—l deserve hanging more than Hussey." Upon his saying this, the soldier was much astonished, and said, " Good God, what have you done ?" He answered, " I knew Hussey, and I ought to be confined in the same dungeon that he was in—as it must come out some lime or other, may as well tell you--I am the murderer of the young woman found in the River Medway." The soldier then asked him, if he would voluntarily give himself into the hands of justice? Ile said, " leg, and let me be confined where Hussey was, for I violated her person, and then murdered her —I must die far it, slid should be glad if it was to-morrow." The Borsholder was then sent for, who took him into custody, and conveyed him to the Mayor's prison ; on• his way thither, he made use of the same expressions ; he ap peared to be in liquor, and had been drinking the best part of the day. He was, on Monday morning, taken to the Town Clerk's office, and underwent a short examination, which was postponed till Wednes day, in order that the witnesses, who live at a diS. Lance, might be able to attend. He now declares his Innocence of the crime, and says, that owing to his having drank so much on Sunday, he knew not what he said. Such is the information we have been able to collect of this mysterious case, which at present creates much interest. We abstain from giving the name of the supposed murderer, till further evidence has been produced of his guilt.—(Kentish Gazette.) . 4 4T AN _ ..- OLDHAM NESTING. The following Address was agreed to by the Weaver's, Waive bled, 5.1 she number of several thiusauds, at Oldham, an the 10th •f August, 1818; fur the purpwe of devi,ing some Mode, If pOssible, of raiiiing the price oftheir labour. • TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. " CoUNTATtaik,-;-1t is not with any presumptuous feeling that we no* tome forward to address you. No; it is for the , purpose of drawing . your attention to, sod sympathy for, those heavy grievances, which have for so long a time so sensibly afflicted us. Our sufferings, as a body have, for a great number of years, been such as no other class of workmen have been forced to endure; hut for the last two, years, and upwards, they have been almost insuppott. able. Many are the victims, who, within that period, have fallen sacrifices to the dreadful starvation which their low wages have forced them to endure; while those who have not actually died for want, are so in volved in debt, that they merely hold their household and working goods in trust for their landlords, fiom whose claim it would require years of industry, even with good wages, to redeem them ! Such, oh, Conti_ trymen! is the wretched condition to which that emi nently useful, numerous, and industrious class of ar t...an., the cotton weavers, are reduced ; such is the wretched condition from which they wish to be re• - lieved ! " We will now, Countrymen, endeavour to de monstrate to you the fearful cause, as we con• ceive, of those many grievances, of which We so justly complain. To do this, we find ourselves toi• der the necessity of going into the political proceed. ings of our Government, for a considerable number of years past. In tile, we hope not to offend the feelings of any political party whatever, assuring them we only take a view of their proceedings, for the putpostenf corning to a correct conclusion from a fair statement of feels, "6 We take the liberty, Countrymen, of Wet ring you back to the conclusion of the first Attletleati oar, in the year 1783; that period, is a point iif reference, being, in our opinion, extremely waver on many accounts ; but more especially because, like the present time, it was the termination of a war, which one of the greatest Statesmen of the age had declared to be ' 6 long, bloody, and expensive." At 'bat period, the rents for houses were about ene hilt of their present rate; while provisions were selling (flour beilig per lb. meal ld per lb. beef and mutton 41. per lb. butter 7d. per lb. cheese 4141. per lb. patatoes per lb. and every other article of food in the same proportion) at about one half of their present rate. At that time an industrious weaver would have earned, on an average, the sum of 15s. per week, which, with economy, would not only ',Ave enabled him to live respectably, but would also have given him the means of laying up a competency for the w inter of life. ' 6 This happy state of things continued, with little imerruption, until we were plunged into the war with France, in 1793, when we immediately began to experience the natural effects of war, in an over stocked market, producing a depreciation of wages, and in an increase in the price of provisions; during all this time a gradual improvement in machinery, affording the greatest facility for the quick produc tion of labour, had taken place. This, instead of being a benefit to the artificers, as might fait ly have been expected ; instead of increasing his means of living ; instead of shortening his hours of labour ; was taken advantage of by the Government end Aristocracy of the Country, to petit'' , the extra vagance of one, and the avarice of the other ; who, by means of certain legislative enactments, which their influence in the Senate procured to be passed, in order to enable farmers to give them high rents fur their lands, kept away from our shores, or admitted but in a very limited quantity, and that under heavy, imposts, grain, and other of the most valuable pro ducts of other States, thereby raising the value of the , produce of laud, and depreciating, by lessening the I demand for our manufactured goods, the prices i thereof. From that time, until the year of peacc, 1814, the ezpences of Government, to carry on the war, kept increasing, as well es the value of land ; while, as a necessary consequence, our means of living comfortably kept decreasing ; nay, every new im provement of machinery, instead of being a blessing, operated as a curse; for, while it lessened not our pecuniary difficulties, it added to nor hours of labour.l Ott the retorts of peace, however, we fondly ex pected have enjoyed the blessings of peace ; we expected our long ill-rewarded labour, to be hence forth properly appreciated and rewarded. Alas!, bow miserably have our exp e ct ations b een disa p . pointed ! liuw wretchedly have our reasonable antici pations been deceived ! Fur the very Session of Parliament after the conclusion of the peace, that law, which is the most deadly blow that has ever yet been aimed at our happiness, the late Corn Law, was passed. In the beginning of the year 1816, the full operation of that law (passed evidently for the put.- pose of protecting the landed interest from its fair share of the burdens which a ruinous and protracted w a r had left behind it) began to he felt; which, operating along with other causes, the most prominent of which was the extreme poverty of lime States of Europe that had b, en the principal consumers of ..tir goods, has brought us to a state of misery and degradation, uever before experienced by any portion of the inhabitants any part of the habitable globe. Now long, oh. countrymed are we to bear ibis caress of misery ? Already base we felt if Ito all its dreadful horrors, more than two years! Much longer we Cannot bear it; human nature is out capable of maintalialli, the conflict much longer! We are ate well aware that nothing else than increasing the demand, or lessening the supply,' or both, can operate effeetually in our favour; and we aire fully aware that Legislative interference is necessary to the one, or the other. A removal of the Corn Law, and such other laws as restrict our commerce, and increase the Pricy of would be the most permanent remedy. We. therefore, pray you Countrymen , to join us in endeavouring to pre vail no th e Legislature, to grant the repeal of these truly mischiev ous laws: We call, in he most solemn manner, on the landed interest, to to forego !iu claim to the benefit of these laws; we entreat the great landed proprietors to reflect, that a hen burthens are im posed oa a State, all ranks and conditious of society ought elawally to share those burdens; we. I eg them to reflect, that daring the war, the manufacturing interest bore all the burden, as the value of land increased with the increase of taxes, if not in a greater proportion; and we new, at the con• clusiou of a war of wretchedness, of misery. the privations of which we have borne with enexampleti fortitude, dud the price of our labour reduced one half, a hie the value of land, and, consequently, the pr. , duce of land. is more than doubted. We ask, is this fair, is it just, is it politic ? 011 Oust answer, no; its injustice is manifest to the very meanest undersumding ; and its iuspolicy is equally evident, in •its driving from our ;Aveiro the most ingenious and iodustrioes of our artisan', who, in fo reign climes, particularly in the heaps state of America. are seeking that reward for their ingenuity and industry, which the present state of things fleprisses them of bere. ‘• JOHN MILLS, " Oldham, Aeg.lo,lBlB.

Mr. Rudge has published the following additions, particulars respecting this malefactor's confession, which, he says, witi • true and faithful account of what Hussey stated to bins io his tell, Mr. R. then proceeds thus 66 Whether his statement he entitled to implicit credit, will be a matter of opinion. For my own part, I have no hesitation in declaring my full con. viclion of the sincerity of his mind, and the truth of his confession. When he had concluded the detail, thought it proper to desire him to rise from the bed on which he had been sitting, and to get on his knees, while he joined me in a prayer which I of fered up to the Almighty in his behalf, and which I adapted to the declaration I had just heard. I after wards questioned him very particularly on the sub ject of the murder in all its details, and spoke my mind to him with tenderness, but without any dis guise, as to his guilty participation in it, and that he was to look upon himself, in cos sight of a just and holy God, as having contracted the same degree of guilt, aisil es deserving of the same measure of punishment as his two companions, who had per pirated the murder ; and who, probably, but for his instigation, would never have been eogaged in that deed of death and iniquity, for which he was now justly to suffer. Ilk answer was, ' I am guilty, and even more guilty than the others ; let them not, therefore, be brought into trou ble, but let me be considered as alone deserving to be thus punished for my guilty deeds,' To some re mark which I made, in allusion to his confession, he said, that in opening his mind to me, he had got rid of a load, which was more heavy and insupport. able than the chains on his body." When on the scaffold, to a question of the executioner, whether he was ready to give the fatal signal for the drop to fall P he answered, he wished first to say a few words to Mr. Budge. I was then in Mr. Delmar's carriage, close to the place of execution, and I imme diately went to him.
