The Foreman, addressing his Lordship, said, "My Lled, we have gone through all the business which was •iii before us. It has, however, just come to our know - letlsre, that a most atrocious murder has been committed within the county, and as we are anxious to do all in our power towards having justice rendered upon the party guilty of it, we will, it your Lordship pleases, continue sitting, or adjourn over to such time as your Lordship may . think fit, fur the purpose of remising the indictment which may be presented before ns. We would suggest • orir re-assembling on Friday morning, if the arrangement Inert, vonr Lordship's approbation." Mr. Justice Pant replied, that before he gave an answer to their communication, be wished to confer with his Learned Brother. His Lordship then retired for a short time, when, having returned, he addressed the Grand Jury G .ntlemen, I believe it is unnecessary for me to repeat to yon, how anxious my Learned Brother and myself are to lend ourselves in any way whatever which may be most tr.efni in furthering the ends of public justice. Neither need I tell you what pleasure we derive from the zealous and hearty co-operation which we have received from you ; a co tree of conduit which reflects the highest credit upon you individually, and is most essential in a public point of view; for so long as the administration of the law is sane ioned by the presence of Gentlemen of your appear ance. there is a security that his Majesty's wisdom, in . issuing these special commissions will not be frustrated. With regard to the particular case to which you have called my attention, I have to apprise you, that I have just learned by accident that the Coroner has not taken his Inqnisltion yet, amt that therefore there is no ground laid for you to proceed. If that Inquisition had been returned to us. we should hare felt it to be our duty to proceed upon it, unless our business was imperatively required in another place by &certain day. It is, however, more pleasant that all acts should have the sanction of the Grand Inquisition of the County, and therefore I accept of your offer, and in the name of the County have to thank you for your attend • snot and the zeal which you have shewn in the discharge of your penile duties. Gentlemen, I shall desire that an admonition be sent to the Coroner without delay, that he • &nay be able to return the depositions into this Court, and that you may not be called here uselessly on Friday snorni ng. Foreman.—Then it is your L2rdship's pleasure that we alonrn over to Friday morning, at eight o'clock? .1 4 r. Justice Peac—lf you please, Gentlemen. This most atrocious murder has excited almost as leneb interest here as its twin-brother deed of horror Ind provoked in a neighbouring county. Mr. Mum ford was a very respectable inoffensive man, well known /n this town and its neighbourhood, and was generally respected. • MURDER IN ESSEX. (tvatnua PARTICULARS.) When Mr. Mumford quitted the Walden Coach at Oven don, it was remarked that a man named Parrot rushed out of the public-house, upon some person accidentally, saying that it was a dark night for Mr. Mntnford's walk to Wid sliogtoe. About a quarter after eight o'clock, the unfor tunate young man was found about a mile from his father's Anise, in the middle of the road,rnost a nhumanly murdeted. jiffs bead was dreadfully bruised, as if by a club or hedge stake, so that the features were not recognizable, and his throat was partially cut under the chin; his neckcloth having prevented the design. evidently contemplated by the murderer, of severing the windpipe. Animation was not entirely extinct when he was first discovered, and the person oho fonhd him. Mr. John Smith, of Stansted Aountfitchet, rallopped back to Widdington for lights and Resistance. On his return he met Parrot advancing with the deceased on his shoulders ; and though Mr. Smith had not been absent ten minutes, the body had been removed .to a considerable distsece from the spot where the foul act bad been committed. On being questioned, Parrot said that be knew it was James Mumford, and was carrying him to his father's house. Several suspicious circumstances seemed to point him out as the murderer. He is the son of a poor man at Widdington, who atteuds Mr. Mumford sen.'s he , and had been punished by the deceased for lopping his father's trees, and committing other trespasses. Tole punishment had generated the most implacable re• 'gage's his mind, and be bad been repeatedly heard to say that be would do for young Mumford. On Parrot being oesrebedos knife belonging to the wretched victim was Sound epos him. Mt.

This may account for tW tempery absence°, arrot, supposing bim to be the Crtrator of this feel deed, when Mr. Smith found the A report is prevalent in the weighbourhdoel, that Parrot has owed the whole, bet for the troth of this we can not tomb at present. The Commies Inquest will sit on the body to-day (Thereday, Dee. il.) Three neighbour .lag Magistrates NM ball most acutely employed since THE STATESMAN Monday evening in investigating all the circumstances, and the arrangements they have deemed it advisable to adopt will greatly, ,facilitate the proceedings before the Coroner. The deceased was about 20, short in stature. and of pleasing gentlemanly appearance. Parrot is tall and athletic, and of vary indifferent previous character, and has been employed by Mr. Alumford's father almost ever since he was a child. It is not yet aseertain.d whether more than one person was concerned in the nor . der, bnt the ground near the spot shews marks of a great struggle having taken place, and for a considerable extent is literally deluged in blood. It appears that Alr James e 7 umford, jun. haul been nn a visit to his brother, Mr. Joseph Munro,* use of the Assistant Clerks to the Royal tin.pit4l, at the Royal College, Chelsea, and that Air. Dlumford, the father, has remained in a state of Insensibility ever since the fatal news was announced to him. DISINTERMENT OF THE RO, , V OF MR. WERE. (fROII A 74ORNIN ‘ G TAPER.) It has been mentioued in some of the papers that the body of Mr. Weare was disinterred on Tuesday se'unight, bet the statement has been treated in ethers as en "Idle rep irt." At llertford, last week, where it might have been supposed the fee% if true, would have been known, it certainly was generaly disbelieved. On inquiry, however, we find that the remains of the deceased were actually lifted from the narrow cell to which they had been consigned, with the usual rites of se,,ulture, in Eistree Church yard. In consequence of a supposed defect in the chain of evidence from which it was apprehended that it could not be proved that one of the parties accused had beau seen in company with Mr. Weer., on the night of the murder, it was judged necessary to open Use grave,iii order to afford the ostler atthe White Lion, Ndgware, an opportunity of seeing the corpse. es two persons, one of them supposed to he Mr. Weare, had called there in a gig on the evening of the !nth of October, and the ostler was of opinion that he should know the face of either of them again. The disinterment having been determined upon, it was judged expedient to avoid gut icg unnecessary publicity to the proceed ing. and it was agreed that the sepu chre should not be re opened in the day time. Pursuant to this resolution, at mid night on Tuesday, the parties who were to perform and to evilness the disinterment repaired to the Church yard. No one wet present but those appointed to conduct the undertsking.— The individuals who attended were, Mr. Clutterbuck. the Ma gistrate; the Clergyman of the parish ; Mr. Ward, the Medi cal Gentleman from Watford, who had given evidence en the Coroner's Inquisition; a second medical gentleman, the assist• ant of the former ; Ir. Field, the landlord of the Artichoke et Elstree, who acted as Foreman on the Coroner's Inquest; the Magistrate's Clerk ; the Undertaker ; the Ostler of the White Lion ; the Grave digger; and five or six labourers. When the men had got almost to the coffin, they had tl con tend with several impediments which caused unlooked for de lay. It was found the grave contained a great deal of water, and the earth which surrounded the remains of the deceased. was not easily removed out of the way of the labourers. and from the immense pressure which it had sustained, it was so deeply bedded in the soil, and wet so heavy from the water it contained, that the efforts of those who at first attempted to lift were wholly nugatory. fly great exertion, however, at length, the coffin, which had been nearly full of water, was brought up. The lid was then unseretved, and the corpse once more sub mitted to inspection. We forbear to enter into any minute description of the ghastly spectacle which now met the al ew. when the lights were brought close to the deceased. It is cut ficient to soy, that when the contents of the coffin were looked upon, it was instantly obvious to every one that recognition was Impossible. The ostler approached the wasted remnant of mortality, but to no purpose. Unusually rapid decomposi tion. oecasioned, it was supposed, by the water In which the body was found immersed, rendered all the toil which lied been undergone utterly useless. The lid of the coffin was then re• placed and screwed down, and the body was again lowered in the grave. No time was lost in throwing the earth in, but from the immense quantity which had been disturbed, the men did not reach the final completion of their task, till about a quarter before seven in the morning.

(Here follow the special regulations at lens th ) llavossre, Dec. 2.—T h e letters from Madrid, received yesterday, bring accounts of an unpleasant affray which bad taken place there. Os the 2Gth two Spaniards and one French soldier quarrelled in a solitary quarter of the City ; the Frenchman was rouoly handled ; the guard cooing up on hearing his cries, t tok all three to the guard house, where a serjeant commanded. Soon after a detachment of Spanish felncers came to demand the release of the two prisoners, uttering imprecations against the French in general,—the people joined them, and the post was on the point of being forced, though the serjeant defended himself bravely, wheu it was reinforced by a detachment from the n post, which had been informed of what as passing by a soldier, who made his way through the crowd with his bayonet. General Bonnuant being in formed of this disorder, the consequences of which might have been fatal, ordered the drums to beat to arms, and the garrison haring assembled, cleared the streets.— There were two persons killed, and several wounded.— Such was the result 'dads unfortunate affair. Order was soon restored ; but to prevent the recurrence of similar scenes, General Bonrusont has ordered all the Spanish troops to quit Madrid. It is altirused that orders have been given at Madrid to deliver passports to every Spaniard who may desire to quit the kingdom. General Quesada having refused the post of Captain. General of Galicia, in the room of Morillo, the King has appointed General Contrerac. The King has ordered all officers to quit Madrid who do not belong to the garrison, or who are there without special permission. It is reported that in the sitting of the Council of 31inisters, Dan Victor Snez read the report of the law of amnesty, the chief articles of which are the bringing to trial all persons who held any office during the retrain • tioa ; to remove to the distance of 30 leagues from Madrid all persona who have constitutional sentiments.—This project was opposed by the Minister of Justice; and the King himself declared it to be too rigorous. It was re served for future discussion. The King has extended to all persons not regularly settled at Madrid the order to leave that city in six days. The report that the Empecinado is taken is not true. A subscription, which amounted to 3,000 piastres, has been made at Gibraltar, for the relief of the refugees. MA I ♦SR. OUR.

The official Gazette of Madrid, in its Number of the 2d instant. gives a literal translation of the letter addressed to the Paris Journals on 11. e 10th November, by M. Goeb hard. The Gazette observes, that the declaration of M. Guebhard ought completely to dissipate all delusion relative to the Loans of the Cortes. Never, as is stated in the letter of that Booker, will the Royal Government reimburse the money lent to the gaolers of Ferdinand VII., and to the op pressors of his subjects. We understand that the miscreants known by the name of Piqueurs have again made their appearance in Paris. On Friday two persons were wounded, one in the Rue des Fossees, St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and the other upon the Pout Neuf. Information has been given to the Coin nsisury of Police of that quarter.—(Galignani's ales. *eager.) It is said that the famous partisan chief Bessieres, has been ordered to quit Madrid.

MADRID, Dec. 2.—The Clerks of the several Administra tors, who followed the Revolivionary Government to Cadiz, having claimed payment of their salaries which are in arrears, and also solicted passports to return to their homes, the Minister of Finance, conformably to the ex press command of the King, has ordered the Receiver General at Cadiz to abstain from giving any money to the said clerics, who, by the decree of the 30th of October, have lost their places for having followed the Revolutionists. With regard to passport , , they are enjoined to apply to the authorities charged to watch over public security. LISBON Nov. 28.—The Gazette contains a Carta de Lei, in w hich his Majesty says—" It not being agreeable to my Royal service, or to the general good of these kingdoms, that the regulations contained in the law of March Idth, this year, shall continue in force ; it being proved on the one hand that the measures prescribed by the old legislation, especially in the Alvaras, of 27th of 'Nov. 1804, and 11th of April, 1815, were much more ample and more conducive to the benefits of agriculture ; and on the other hand, that the repletion, in sections 6 and 7, grant ing unbounded liberty to the administrators of estates of inheritance (Morgadat), and Capella*, (lands given on condition of saying mass for the soul of the donor) to grant perpetual leases of entailed estates, as well as to mortgage them, are manifoldly unjust; opening a door w THURSDAY EVENINO, DECEMBER 11, 1823.

At a late boor last night, an express from Paris, dated 4 o'clock, Tuesday, brought the following important intelligence:— '6 PARIS, DEC. 9. "The Government courier which arrived to day. brought intelligence from Madrid to the 4th inst. The news which he brings is of great importance. There has been nearly a total change of the Spanish Ministry. The Madrid Gazette of the 4th contains four Royal decrees. •' By the first, his Majesty appoints as first Minister of State, the Marquess cf Casa lrujn ; as Minister of Grace and Justice for Spain and the Indies, Don Nareiso de Here dia ; as Minister of ll'ar, Major General Don Josef de la Cruz ; and as Minister of Finance, Don Luiz Lopez Ballas teros. The Minister of Marine remains. This decree is dated Dec. `J, and is countersigned Luis Maria Salazar, who remains as Minister of Marine. .6 By the second decree his Majesty appoints. as Presi dent of his Council, Don Ignacio Martinez du Villels.— This place was vacant by the refusal of the Duke del In fantado to accept it. '• By the third decree, Saes, the King's former Prime Minister and Confessor, is nominated to the bishopric of Tortosa, vacant by the death of Don Manuel [los y Medrano. At the same time that he ceased to be Minister, he ceases to he Confessor to the King. "By the four:11 decree, his Majesty, ' seeing the absolute necessity for the good government of his vast mooarcitv, of establishing a Council of State which may unite the knowledge and the experience requisite to guide the reso. lotions of his sovereign authority,' has nominated ten indi viduals, eomposefl of persons selected from the old Council of State,existing on the 7th of March, 1524, and others, to be a Council of State.

The Councillors named are— Eguia, the Duke of San Cathy, Don Juan Perez Villamil, Don Antonio Vargas Laguna, Don Antonio Gomez Calderon, Don Juan Bautista de Erro, Don Josef Garcia de la rorre, and Don Jean Antonia Rojas. The Ministers are, ex officio, Members of this Council. This decree is dated the 3d instant, and countersigned Casa Irujo. Can lrnjo is a man of talent, and of more liberality than the Minister Confessor. He was Ambassador at Paris be fore tke late Revolution. French Funds at four o'clock, 91.45. ; Spanish Funds, 31i. The Journal dee Debate of Tuesday, brought lby the same conveyance, has no news so late as the preceding ; hut expresses a confident hope, that on the li:h of De;ent ber, the Queen of Spain's birth-day, a general amnesty would be proclaimed.

MADRID. Dec.

It is also said, that their Excellencies expressed a wish that Spain should have Representative Government. 'rite Empeelnado, who was arrested, has been set at liberty. It is said that the Royalist army Is to be disbanded. The Swiss Royal Guards do no other duty than to guard the Palace. It iv asserted as certain that the Bishop of Owns, Prenatal of the Ex Regency, has received orders to quit Madrid. The Mile of yesterday's date has reached as, but it does not contain any other intelligence than that we have inserted above, respecting the important change in the Spanish Ministry. The fate of the Press, we sadly fear, approaches its crisis. That " mighty man of Oath," that sagacious" Judge is Israel," the Recorder of London has united himself with its enemies, and aimed a blow at it with his stenter poke, and giant arm! Ileaven save us f Our occupation will be shortly at an end, and we shall only have to compose oar own epitaphs and die. Looking at the Old Bailey report of yesterday, we find that a silly boy on his trial for maw slaughter, bad said" be could not tight for a leg of mottos fur other people to eat, but be would fight for a " Sovereign, and then it would appear in the Newspaper'.' The boy's sin was evidently ambition. He was a sort of Wellington bruiser. He wanted to be talked of in the I world ; to appear in the Newspapers—as the Recorder wants, and every aspiring soul, only in different portions of the colums, as a different ruling passion way benne° " prevail. But no sooner does this sagacious Judge. half in the shell, hear this evidence of an ate bilious feeling, than " :mistaking the scaffold for the pile," like many others of his learned brethren, be re. milks, with oracular emphasis, and a look that night bare awed the bird of Minerva, " you see the mischievous rPets of these publication: !"

Then are lawyers who bare it not, certainly ; hut they are ever tient to a general rule; and seem as if they were eurtsik4 of the full proportion of professional rancour. Yet the miserable burlesque produced at Hertford, by the cross• purpose playing of that great luminary.
