CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. m,..iirllN.l. (1,110111 VIII DUBLIN EVENING POST OP WOBBLY.) The Association met this day, pursuant to adjournment. Mr. Clinch in the Chair. Mr. O'Connell made his pro• inised motion of thanks to " J.K.L." Author of the Vin dication of the Catholics of Ireland. The Learned Gentle man pronounced a very animated panegyric on the Right Rev. Prelate. The motioo being seconded, was carried uottoisnously and with acclamation. Mr. O'Connell then made his promised motion regarding the necessity of the Catholics procuring bnrying grounds for themselves. Having gone into a very learned and elo quent disquisition on the origin of church-yard fees, and their dispositions according to Common and Canon Law, he concluded by moving, that a committee should be appointed to make the proper arrangements. intimating that be had good reason fur thinking, that the Catholic Hierarchy 'and Priesthood would lend the plan their etre uons support. Mr. L. Plunkett wished the motion to be deferred one Amth t and moved en Amendment accordingly, but, not b e ing srEorlded, it fell to the ground , a nd the ori g inal station passed unanimously. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman; the Association adjourned to Saturday next. The room was much crowded. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday being the day on which the (surd Mayor for the ensuing year was to proceed to Westmiiisief Hall, to be sworn into office, with the customary obitei4nees, considerable bustle was excited throughout the City; as well as in those parts of Westminster from which the prd cession was likely to be witnessed. The morning having been tineommonly fine, the various avenu-s leading from the Mansion House to Blackfriars'- bridee were so much crowded as to be rendered nearly investable. At half past eleven o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived at Guildhall, in his private carriage, fol lowed by the late Lord Mayor, Alderman Wood, and some other gentlemen. The arrival of his Lordship was announced by loud and repeated cheering. Alderman Wood was also greeted in a similar manner. Shortly after this, the City State Coach was brought in front of Guildhell—it was drawn by six beautiful bay horses. The late Lord Mayor's carriage followed, drawn also by six bay horses, decorated in a most tasteful and splendid manner. At twelve o'clock the whole troop marched up, and formed a file along both sides of the nay, among whom were three men in arturoir, whose appearance had a fine effect. At one, the Lord Mayor entered the City State Coach, attebiled by the Sword-bearer and Chaplain, w hen the procession, consisting of the usual pageantry, moved alms ly on ; and at Forster-lane was joined by the Goldsmiths' Company, with a hand of music, which pro. seeded to the east side of Blackfriar's-bridge, where the Lord Mayor alighted, and embarked on board the City barge rowed by the watertnan, attired in scarlet dresses, for Westminster. In the procession oat the water there were no less than 9 state barges; the city state barge under the command of Searle. with the city state banner'; Mr, Searle's grand barge, occupied by the Frame work Knitters'company ; the Goldsmiths'splendid barge; and those also belonging to the Merchant Tailors', Stationer?, Fishmongers, Drapers. Skiuners', and Grocers' companies, all decorated with their banners and streemers,followed in order. The men were dressed in the sta's liveries, and as the sun shone forth in full splendour, the effect of the equatic part of the pageant, the gilt barges, with the emblazoned flags, with the bells ringing, and the guns firing, and the shores and bridges erouded with spectators, was equal to any thing of the kind witnessed for several years past. The procession landed at Westminster. and proceeded in order to the Court of Ex chequer, which had been prepared for their reception.— They were received by Mr. Baron Graham, Mr. Baron Darrow, and Mr. Baron Bullock, in their state robes. The Chief Baron was absent from illness. The members of the Corporation having entered The RECORDER add 4 the (hart, and sa id, he had the honour of introducing to them Robert %Vaithman, Esq. Alderman and Frame-work Knitter, who had been elected by the unanimous vote of his fellow , citizens in the Commou Bell, and those of his brother alagistra•es in the Court of Alderman, to fill the high and important o ffi ce of Lord Mayor of Londou, and Consery for of the Thames, and the waters of the Medway. After complimenting his Lordship on the yialifications which had obtained for him the high official elevation to which he had been raised, the Learned Gentleman introduced to the court in a similar manner William Heygate, Esq. Alderman and late Lord Mayor, who, on the expiration of his Office, had come to render in his accounts. Mr. Baron GRAHAM, addressing the New Lord Mayor, said the unanimous concurrence with which he had been chosen was as honourable tohim *sit was to his constitnents.it provedthelr conviction, that from his high understanding he world perform. to thefull extent, the duties of his &lice ; it proved their confi dence that be would discharge them with integrity, and in a manner as useful to his fellow citizens as it would be honour able to Maisel'. The Learned Judge said he would not recite to his Lordship any of the duties of his office, as he pre sewed, from the character of his understanding, that he was fully acquainted with them, and competent to their per formance. Such duties as might arise in time were left open to him for the display of every faculty and talent that he pos sesses. From his firm and vigorous understanding, It was con ideetly anticipated that he wonlil enforce *very obedience to lawful ablitority, sod that he worth] so perform his duties before fore the world, as to entitle him to the esteem of his fellow eitirens,the retipect of all men, and so as to enable him to re. lire from his office with all the blessings attendant upon such Meritorious s. twice. The Learned Judge then congratulated Alderman Hey gate upon the manner lie had retired from his office, and Cla long enlegiu on him for the manner in which it had m performed. The new Lord Muayor was then sworn into office, and the late L Mayor rendered in the accounts of his Ma: ettyaliy. The civic body then retired, and returned in the same state they had arrived, to Blackfriars' Bridge. At kat( past three the procession was seen coming down the river. The sudden absrp firing announced the arrival, sod his Lordship disembarked ; it was with difficulty he could ascend the steps for the crowd. At the Obelisk, Bridge Street, the procession was joined by the Ambassadors,Jodges, and Members, who had been invited to the banquet at Guildhall ; and at the corner of King Street, the Lady Mayoress, who came from the Mansion House, joined the procession in a utost splendid private carriage. THE DINNER. At half past four o'clock the elangor of trumpets an nounced the appro ich of the new Lord Mayor to Guildhall. He immediately afterwards entered, preceded by the sword and mace bearer, and attended by the usual city officers The Lady Mayoress kept her state in the Council Chamber, taste the Duke of Sussex, and several other visitors of Mk, were introduced to her. At six o'clock the Lord Mayor proceeded from the Council Chamber to the hall, which was most brilliantly illuminated. The upper end of the ball was ornamented with a splendid crown ; the lower sad with a vivid and beautiful proportioned star, each formed of Ras. Two large, and one small gas chandelier, depended from the root. Tasteful festoons, of gas were die• posed along the walls ; and, at a considerable distance below the festoons, fourteen gas lustre. shed a powerful light. The scene was exceedingly grand. The gay and tasteful dosses of the ladies • the feathers and jewels with which very many of them were decorated, were seen to the utmost +dean age amid.t this flood of radience.Amonr at Ake company present were the following:—His Royal High THE STATESMAN. nese the Doke of Sundt,. Lord Nugent, the Hon. H. G. Bennet, Sir J. Mackintoih, J. C. Hobbousi, M. P.; Dr. Ludington ; Messrs. Whitbread and Byng, the Members for Middlesex • Joseph Home Esq. M. P. ; Edward Ellice. Esq. M. P.; W m. Williams , Esq.; the Lord Chief Justice Abbott, Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Jnstice Holroyd, Mr. Justice Burroughs , Baron Garrote, Baron Bullock, Mr. Serjeant Vauglian,Mr. Sergeant Pell, Mr. Sergeant Rough, Mr. Common Sergeant Denman,' Mr. Bolland, and other distinguished Members of the Bar ; General Roma., late Governor of Vigo; Baron Fagel, the Ambassador from the Netherlands; Count Antonio; Mr. Professor Schlegel, and several distinguished foreigners. We remarked also on the hustings Major UalllaC, Lord Bingham, and many of the Officers of the First Life Guards—a circumstance which was the more noted on account of the proceedings in *hicb the present popular Lord Mayor was (when Sheriff) in some measure opposed to individuals of that distinguished corps. Not one of his Majesty's Ministers was present. The company having partaken of a banquet, which comprised the most delicate and costly viands, the Lord Mayor rose, and drank the health of the assembly, assuring them that they were most heartily welcome.— (Applause.) His Lordship then proposed the health of "The King," with three times three, which was received with shouts of enthusiasm. Song—" God save the King." The Loan MAYOR then rose and observed, that, however some individuals might affect to consider the proceedings of this day as a mere matter of show and pageantry, it was quite evident that their ancestors did not view it in that light. They looked upon the free election of the first Magistrate of the City of London,. and upon his solemn inauguration, as matters of deep importance, and most intimately connected with the preservation of their rights and liberties. (Applause.) Kings bad not diedained to be present on occasions of a similar description—the most eminent men in the country, eminent for their talents and for their virtues, bad frequently sat under that roof and he wa a no* happy to see near him an illustrious pen sonage, on whose love of liberty it was unnecessary to dilate. (Applause.) That illustrious individual was always happy to see popular rights exerted in such a manlier as to produce beneficial effects for the people. (Applause.) His Lordship then expressed the great satis faction he felt at the numerous attendance of the Learned Judges, and concluded by proposing—" The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex," with three times three. The toast was received with the warmest feelings of regard by the whole company. The Duke of Sussex returned thanks. In his opinion there was not any individual who held a public situation in this free country who was not entitled to respect, provided his conduct merited it. He felt gratified in seeing that the I Judges of the land had paid, by their presence, this due tribute to the offices which the present Lord Mayor had so ! worthily been called to fill ; and in no country where the Judges held in more respect than in England. With respect to the Lord Mayor he was placed in his present situa tion with the unanimous approbation of his fellow-citizens; and the vote of the Court of Aldermen, in electing him, could not fail todo them the greatest credit. His Royal Highness, after having expressed h;a acknowledgements for the honour done him. proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, which was received by the company with loud applause. The Loan MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that lie felt under peculiar etaba went, for he must either avoid speaking of himself, which he was anxious to do, or say nothing at all. However, he should endeavour to get rid of the difficulty by adverting to the office to which he had the honour to be called by the partiality of his fellow• citizens. In his estimation. the great valule of that otfice was, that it had been conferred upon hint after the exer• Lion of so many years, and after so much calumny bad been resorted to, io order to blast his fair fanie.—(Ap please.) It was, indeed. under such circumstance, pecu liarly gratifying to him to see that in this Hall not a single hand or whisper bad been raised against his election as Chief Magistrate. Although lie hoped that he did not stand is need of being reminded, yet had be been properly reminded that day, by the Judges, of the important duties which he had to perform. These duties he should always bear in mind, and never once lose sight of them for a mo ment. He wits determined to devote his whole time and attention to one grand object—that of gaining the good opinion of his fellow citizens. He should equally support . the authorities of the land, and the rights of the people, persuaded as he was that to support both was perfectly consistent with the best principles of British liberty.se (Cheers ) His Lordship concluded o y proposing the bears, of the late Lord Mayor, who return ed thanks in suitable terms. His Lordship next proposed " the health of the Judges." The LORD Cuter JUSTICS of the King's Bench retuned thanks as follows:—" My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, on my part, and that of my brother Judges, I have the honor to return you my sincere thanks for the very gracious manlier in which you have drunk our healtlis." The LORD CHlETJurnice, after paying a brief tribute to the amiable qualities of the late Lauy Mayoress, proposed " her Ladyship's health." And the late Loan MAYOR returned thanks on the part of her Ladyship. • " The healths of Lord Nugent and Mr. 11. G. Bennet" then followed, and both eXpressed their acknowledgments with ardent manifestations of regard to the Lord Mayor. The Loan Mavoa then rose, and said that it was unne cessary for him to preface. by a single observation, the toast which he had now to offer. The company would appreciate it as it deserved. He should merely propose " the health of Sir James hlackintosb—(Cheers). Sir J. MACKINTOSH was proud of the honour which NU thus confe.red on him, and was nut desirouss of saying any thing morethan was necessary to return the Lord Mayor and the whole of the company his sincere thanks for this honour. He also congratulated his Lordship on being called to his office by the voice, the cheering, and unani mous voice of his fellow citizens. There was no reproach could be thrown on him in any stage of his proceedings ; no voice had been raised to cast any scandal against him with any kind of justice. His conduct had been pure and dignified; and be had been elected without contention or opposition. The choice of the city, which they were met that day to celebrate, attested that this dignified and straight forward conduct had met the approbation of all reasonable and can did men. He saw with pleasure, that those venerable dia. ranters the Judges, had conic there to give their collate . nonce unbiassed by political motives, to the man who bad been chosen by the Magistrates of the first Cily of the Empire to preside for a year over its destinies. He could not believe that the absence of some other high characters could not be owing to any political motives, for that als• Bence was no disrespect to the man, but to one of the greatest and most flourishing cities iu the world ; and he could not believe any man, however high his dignity, would inteotially treat this city with disrespect. That ab sence, he was persuaded, was entirely unintentional. He could not, at this moment of festivity and unanimity, wish to raise any disputed question; but lie must for one re joice that the country still showed 'marks of high and noble independence: and the present occasion showed that the Citizens of London could not be deterred by any temptations of influence or exertions of power, from be-towing tne highest of all public rewards which they had to bestow on those who zealously gave their lives up to the public service.—He men tioned this, not as a subject of dispute, but as a proof of the high estimation in which the Cittzeus of London held those who devoted themselves to the cause of liberty. The City of London had been indebted for its prosperity to its free institu tions; under them it had grown up to be the greatest and rich est city in the world, and it would continue to be the greatest, as long as it continued to be the most free. (The Hon, Gentle man sat down amidst considerable cheers.) The LORD Maria then apologised for having, ht his wish to attend to every body, omitted Lordßingham, and concluded by giving his health. Lord Bt Nom Aar, who was dressed in the regimentals of the Life (herds, then returned thanks. " The Health of the Members for Middlesex," followed, and Mr. Byng shortly returned thauki, but was quite inau dible to us. The Loan MAYOR then gave "The health of the Members for Wistminster," and mentioned that Sir F. Burdett was to have been present at the dinner, but bad been prevented, by some circumstance or other from attending. Mr. Honnouse returned thanke, and said he trusted that the Cities of London land Westminster would always be united in interest and love of liberty as they were in situation —and that public liberty and prosperity would go on increasing to the glory of this distinguished capital. The healths of Mr. Ald. Wood, - Dr. Lushington, Mr. Hume, and the Sheriffs, were severally drunk, and they each returned thank•. The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of the Common Sergeant, widen was think with the loudest applause. The Costmore SERGEANT begged to return his thanks for the honor done him, which was not less gratifying than unexpected. He was proud of the situation he held in the Corporation, and he rejoiced to see that if his Right lion. Friend who had acquired the situation by the uprightness of his conduct, and the esteem of his fellow Citizens. The Duke of Sussex, just before quitting the Hall, pro posed as a toast " Prosperity to the City of London and the trade thereof," which was drunk with loud applause. At ten o'clock the company left the Hall to join the Ladies. Judging, however, from appearances, there were many of them who accused disposed to prolong the festive scene to a late hour. Mr. Brougham was prevented from 'attending by the death of the lion. Mr. Eden, to whom Mrs. Brougham is related. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

TROTTING MATCH.—Capt. Beareoft's Royston mare started on a match yesterday morning to trot 18 miles in one hour. ou 1 Ashford Common, over a two mile circle of mid, for 100 NOM i The mare carried eight stone, and she did the first two miles in i 7 min. 10 see.; the sec md in 7 min. 15 sec.; the third (in which she broke from the trot) in S min. 2 sec. ; and the fourth in 7 min. and 12 sec.; performing half the distance in 29 min. 39 eec. afresh. On the mare's return she did the fifth two miles in 7 min. 2S sec.; the sixth in 7 min. 32 sec.; the seventh in 7 min. and a half; and the eighth in 7 min. 34 sec. Total 59 minutes 43 seconds. The mare did the last mile with as much apparent ease as the first. Betting was 6to lon the mare. On Tuesday, several parties dined at the Bugle, Wheat Sheet*, King's Heed, and Three Tune, at Netypart, in the Isle of Wight, in colutneworAtion of the glorious Revolution of Itits9. It appears as if some atrorions confederacy were formed in this city for the destruction of hay. It was formerly mentioned that a stack bad been set on fire on Sunday night. On Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, a stack, situated in Doke Street, was observed to be on fire; anti. the water being oat of the pipes, it was not extinguished without a good deal of difficulty. Again last night, at half-pest ten, a stack nes observed on fire in the Lady Well Street, the engines repaired to the spot, and succeeded in extinguish ing the flames. It is difficult to impute these fires to acci• dent; vet it is scarcely possible to imagine a motive for the inceptaary.—(Glasgote Citron ) On Tuesday week, an apprentice of Messrs. Holiday and Co., mechanics, in Preston, while in the act of leaning over his lathe to look through the window, aas caught by the neckcloth. and shortly %%wild have been strangled had not one of the workmen observed his perilous situation, and instantly thrown off the strap by which the lathe was turned. He lay for some time as if dead, soil the whole of the next day insensible.-- : (Alanulteeler Guardian.) We understand that a dreadful casualty occurred last night, by the falling of an old house in Patrick's Close, which it is feared has proved fatal to many of the poor creatures who had inhabited it. Two of the surving suffer ers, namely, Henry Nowlan and Mary Kearns were dug out of the ruins, and conveyed to Mercer's hospital. They both have been severely injured ; every possible attention and care which humanity anti skill could suggest, has been paid to them. The extent of the evil has not yet been ascer tained.—(Dulrlin .11Iornesig Post, Nov. S.) SHUCKING OCCURREXCE.—Two houses fell in Canon Street last night, and buried several of their unhappy in mates in their ruins. Five both'. s were dog out last night dead, and several in a state of horrid mutilation. It is roar-' ed there have been many sufferers in addition to those already discovered, as the miserable houses in that part of the city are very thickly inhabited. We understsn I the houses which have fallen were purchased very I itely for the purpose of being taken don n by the Commissioners of Wide Streets. It is much to be regretted that th-y were not removed as soon as purchased. IVe understand it is the intention of the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, ro afford temporary relief to the surviving sufferers until something better can he done for them, and that they have eiccordiegly received instructions to attend at the Mansion House this , day.—(Dablin Evening Nal of Saturday ) FIRK.—A fire broke out this morning, at one o'clock, in the warehouse of Mr. Nathan, Furrier, Sparrow Buildings, Rosemary Lane, which with the dwelling.honse were to . tally consumed. The loss is estimated at 3,110 W. ; and the property i 3 understJud to have been uninsured. THE MURDER OF MR. W. WEARE. • . . , ,A curious scene was exhibited in Manchester Windings. on Saturday last, in consequence of Johnson; a messenger of the Commissioners of Bankrupts, breaking into the premises lately occupied there by John Thurtell,.. 200 persons were assembled, and an entrance . being obe - • tamed, there was a diligent search made for any property, which might be there deposited. There was ver y little ' furniture in the house, but there were several parcels of goods, glass, quart pets, &c. found, which no doubt had been obtained under false pretences, but the valise, how ever, was not snore than 501. Among other things found in the parlour were a pair of immense dumbbells, weigh ing 8 or 91b. each. These were the weapons with which John Thurtell intended to have murdered Mr. Woods, his rival in the affections of Miss Noyes. It now appeari that it is not the Miss Noyes who is in custody wail • 'the object of Thurtell's affections; but a younger sister of tier's, possessing some personal charms. The dumb hells were taken to Bow Street. Some blame has been attached to Ruthven, the Bow Street Officer, for not taking into custody the man who was in bed in the same room with J. 'f hurtell. This is certainly without foa ndstion, inasmuch as Ruthven only had a warrant to apprehend Thurtell, and therefore would not have been justified in apprehending any body else. !Lis asserted, however, that this mysterious stranger, of whom so much as been said, is actually in custody—his name was Ennison, aliss Emicrson, and he is one of those against whom a bill of indictment has been found for conspiring to defraud Mr. Utahans of four thousand pounds. it is reported that the Magistrates of Hertfordshire are in possession of evidence regarding the Thurtell's gang, which discloses acts of even more dreadful atrocity than the horrid deed which has lately so much occupied the public mind. This evidence is kept secret, but it is said to have transpired that one gentleman, who has been mur dered, was cast into the Thames from Battersea Bridge; and that on the Wednesday night preceding the murder of Wrare (which took place on Friday), the party had sta tioned themselves close to the County Fire Office, to com plete the intended assassination of Mr. Barber Beaumont, the Managing Director of that establishment. That gentleman has been in the habit of frequently sitting. in his office, or study, on the groun.l.floor, of an evening, and close to the window (which window looks into Titchborne Street), without having the shutters closed. It was planned that something should be thrown against the window, which would cause him ju remove the blind, and look out, when J. Thurtell was prepared with his air-gun to effect the murder. It fortunately happened that Mr. Beaumont did not sit in this room on that evening, or the following; and on the third the murderers were occupied in dispatching their victim Weare. The late Mr. Weare's laundress will be examined before the Magistrates at Watford this day, and the shire of that Gentleman, as well as the linen found in Hunt's lodgings, will be submitted to her inspection. HERTFORD. Nov. 10.—Orders have been issued from high official authority, to restrain all further communication of intelligence respecting the prisoners confined here on the charge of murder, and additional precautions have been taken for the frustration of any attempt to rescue. In lien of ono watchman to the gaol, si x are now employed, relieving each other in turns; two going the round of the gaol within the outer wall constantly during the day and night. There are also several officers from 'low Street in this town, for the purpose of recognising any of the associates of the pri soner, should they flatus' a visit. Saturday there was a meeting of the Magistrates of the County at the Town Hall ; their deliberations were private, but it was resolved that ■n order should he issued to the Governor of the gaol, prohibiting the admission of any per• • son to even a sight of either of the three prisoners confined there; and recommending it to all gentlemen in the com mission of the peace, not being visiting Magistrates to the gaol, to forego the exercise of their usual privilege; this order was signed by upwards of 20 Magistrates of the neighbourhood. A warrant was some days since Issued for the apprehension of Leman, who is supposed to be now in Paris, which, being backed by the French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, was addressA and transmitted to Sir C. Stuart, to be laid before the French Minister of Police. It has been reported that it is the intention of Leman to surrender himself—this, however, we rather doubt. The prisoners continue to conduct themselves very well. Noyes, Woods, and Probert were formerly supposed t) he in partnership as wine•merchants, nearly opposite the Ilungerford Coffee House, in the Strand. The latter was the real proprietor of the concern, although Mr. Noyes carried on the business; it is now supposed th a t be a ud Woods merely sold on commission for Mr. Probert. THE SCENE OF THE LATE MURDER. The fineness of the weather on Sunday induced great numbers of persons to visit the scene of the atrocious art. At Elstree the curious made their first halt. Here the . _ grave of Mr. Weare, in Elstr..e Church-yard, was visited, and the pond, about a quarter of a mile out of the vilia4e, : . where the body of the unfortunate man was found. The • Artichoke inn, to which the corpse was carried, and where the Coroner's inquest was held, was, for snore reasons than one, an object of great attraction. —Air. Field, the land lord, was on the jury, and is therefore fully competent to the task of answering the numerous questions put to hint by his customers. Here the sack, in which the remains of the victim hail been carried from Probert'a cottage, was shown. The marks of blood which it bears gave it pet u liar interest in the eyes of those who coveted to see every thing in any way connected with the murder. A few per sons were accommodated with small pieces of the sack, which they seemed to regard as relics of extraordinary vane. The two small inns at the end of Gill's Hill Lane were crowded. Not a few, however, of the horsemen and the mas ters of the various vehle.es which arrived, declined making a halt there, and proceeded ':p the lane. Gill's Hill-lane is a long crooked turning. It is narrow from the beginning, but up to the cottage where Probert lived, or n-arty up to it, a gig can be passed by horsemen or pedeitrinns. After passing the cottage it gets so extremely contracted that the smallest vehicle completely fills it, and foram . thins to pass in an opposite di rection is absolutely Impossible. Its windings were exploivi for a considerable distance beyond the house, to get a sight of . the spot where the crime was perpetrated. Those on toot could reach this spot by crossing a field. To approach it by the lane was no easytask, as the road had been so cut up that the clayey mud is, in some places, almost knee-deep. Notwithstanding this, many Indies ventured through it, regardless of the injury which it inflicted on their finery, and the danger to which it exposed themselves. The break in the hedge was originally but small ; it is now about six feet wide, having been this enlarged by the operations of those curious people, who consider a twig from the hedge, through which the remains of the murdered man Had been dragged, must furnish a treat to their equally carious friends. The cottage was very closely invested on all sides. ' Here the kitchen .t hen the supper was prepared on the night of 51r. Weare's death, and the small parlour in which the parties now in prison passed the night. claimed atten tion. The latter is a pretty little room, with a pleasant 10..k.0ut. The nails which had resounded with the mar -1 derer's mirth, after t e horrid business of the evening hail I been performed, furnished matter fur serio: , s contemplation . and the sofa on which one of the party reclined, and Iwhich was stained with the tictim's blood, was not pissed over unnoticed. The cover of the sofa which had thus been soiled has been taken away to secure its being 1 I forthcoming at the trial. , The persons now in possession of the honse bad honks t, sell, containing a nal rative of the murder, %licit a pia i of the premises. They did not complain for want ut cnst, I The fishpond, into which the dead body was dawn bel L''_ • pi .40 40 1 row. :fore eel r he the reek , )t os iiisd bet cert. sbilet Here' near itg to e Via'
