WAKEFIELD ELECTION COMMISSION. secret has been so well kept that it would be a pity to disclose it before it is necessary. (Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant Pigott—Can you produce him to day ? Mr, Moore—Oh, yes, he is hard by. I can bring him in at once. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 12. The Commissioners resumed their inquiry at the Sessions-house this morning. The four missing witnesses, Mr. J. B. Charlesworth, Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Serle, and Mr. Moore were forthcoming at last, and one of the much-talked-of "strangers" also made his appearance, but at present their evidence has not added much to the information already laid before the Commissioners. The first witness called was Mr. John Barft Charlesworth, the cousin of Mr. J. D. Charlesworth, the defeated candidate, who said—Previous to the last election I had a conver sation with my cousin, in the course of which I pro posed I should act as paymaster for the expenses of the election. I asked him to give me an intro duction to Messrs. Beckett, of Leeds, as my own bankers are Messrs. Leathern, and I did not wish them to know what we were spending. He said it would not be much use giving me an introduction without accompanying it with some security, and that he had none of less amount than a railway bond for £5,000. I said I should not want a quar ter of that ; certainly - not more than £1,500, and that I would return him the residue when the elec tion was ever. He told me he would consider of it and next morning he gave it me with a letter ofin troduction. I took it to Messrs. Beckett, telling them that I should want to draw about £1,200 on it. I drew £l,OOO on the 16th April, of which I gave £5OO to Mr. Fernandez, and with the other £5OO I repaid Mr. IL Brown, solicitor, a sum of £4OO which he had lent in the previous year. On the 23d April I drew out another £l,OOO, which I gave to Mr. Fernandez. He had told me the day before that though we had a majority in the town the other side were bribing se hard that unless we took means to keep our majority together we should lose it. On the 23d of April he told me that things were going on at a great pace, and that if we meant to win we must do the same. I said I was very anxious that my cousin should w!n, and that I would find the money. I went to Messrs. Beckett's, and drew out £1,500, which I handed to him. On the 29th of April I got a note from Mr. Fernandez with these words in it— "£soo will be wanted," and I went to Beckett's and drew £5OO. On the 3d of May I drew out £250, which I sent to Mr. Fernandez at his request, and on the sth of May £5OO more, which is not yet, spent. That makes £4,730, so that there is £250 left in Messrs. Beckett's hands. I took very little share in the election. I don't think I canvassed more than two people. Shortly before the election my cousin gave- a dinner party, at which his principal sup porters were present. The eloction was discussed, and my cousin - cautioned every one very anxiously to have nothing to do with bribery. I don't know whether this was after the bond was given or before, I never gave any account to my cousin of the man ner in which I had applied the money. I told him one day that a great deal of money had been spent, but he turned away and said he wanted to know no thing about it. It was Mr. Fernandez who first suggested that money would be wanted for preli minary expenses. I generally gave the money to him alone, in the room which he occupied in the Strafford Arms. It was in notes mostly, except one sum of £5OO, which was in-sovereigns. I have never had any account from him as to the mode in which the money was spent. I heard it rumoured in the town that bribery was going on freely, but .of ceurse I never dropped a hint that I knew anything about it. My cue was to keep my mouth shut. I knew nothing, in fact, of individual cases of bribery until this commission opened, for I was very little in Wakefield during the election, and except finding the money as I have describe 1, I took no part in it. I never heard anything of " strangers" being in the town daring the bribery. I never mentioned to my cousin that I was furnishing money to Mr. Fernandez ; for lam sure that if he had known Yesterday the disturbances at this now notorious that bribery was going on he would have stopped the place of worship were worse than ever.

Mr. Moore then left the court, and in about five minutes returned with the mysterious " Man in the Moon," who tallied pretty correctly with the de scription given by many witnesses—middle height, light beard and moustache, with a scar over his eye. Mr. Moore's examination then proceeded—This gentleman's name is Whitehead, he lives at Brad ford, and he came over to Wakefield by my invita tion. When I got here I found that Gilbert was at work, and having been engaged with him in former election matters I thought it necessary to keep a watch on what he was doing. I sent for Whitehead and told him to go and live at Wain wright's Hotel, and bring me all the intelligence he could pick up. After a time he came and told me that both sides were bribing hard, that Brear was bribing for the Conservative side, and that it was no longer a secret. I said, if that were the case he might be of some use to Brear, and I directed him to go to Brear. What he did in con junction with Brear he will tell you himself. After the election he brought me £l4O, which he had not expended. I was engaged in 1857, but I know nothing of any corrupt 'practices during that elec tion. In fact I don't believe that there were any. Mr. J. Whitehead the " Mysterious Stranger," was next examined. He said—l am an uphol sterer at Bradford, and have always been in the habit of taking part in electioneering affairs. I came to Wakefield at the last election, and my first employment was to watch what the other side was doing. ',Moore then recommended me to go to Brear's and see whether I could make myself useful to him. I met Mr. Alder in the street, and he showed me the way. I went in and had some con versation with Brear, and we made an appoint ment for next morning. We met behind the Corn Exchange, and he gave me £4O to buy the vote of a licensed victualler named Johnson. I went with him there,- and after asking him for his vote I put the £4O down on the table, and covered it over with a newspaper for him to take it away, but he shook his head and would have nothing to do with it. I saw Brear again next day, and got £460 from him in two sums. £2OO of this I gave to a friend of mine named Dan Robin son, whom I brought over from Bradford to assist me, and directed him to" operate" on Pickard, Gos ney, and Mead. I offered bribes myself to various persons—to the Hallidaya, father and son; I offered £lBO for the two votes, but they refused it. I can vassed Blackburn's wife for his vote. He is a grocer, and I bought a ham at his shop for £25. his wife promised he should vote for Charlesworth, but he did not. I gave Jacob Wood, the tailor, £45 for his vote. (This man swore that he had not received a farthing for his vote.) To David Turner I gave £3O after the election. I also gave Matthews, the umbrella maker, something, but I don't know how much. I did not ask him directly to vote for Charlesworth, but I made him understand that if he would vote for us he should have money for it, and he made no objection, so I put the money down on the-counter where he would see it. I also can vassed various other voters, but I think I have men tiened al4 that I actually bribed. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—l suppose you know that you went by the name of the " Man in the Moon" while you were here ? Mr. Whitehead—Well, I believe that was my de,ignation. Mr. Sergeant Pigott—And there is no doubt about your identitf? Witness—Oh, dear no; I'm the man, sure enough. (Laughter.) At the conclusion of this witness's examination the court adjourned until this day at 10 o'clock. ST. GEOBGES-IN-TIIE-EAST-DIS- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER' 14, 1.85 St. Ilarnabas, having, as was alleged, incited his choristers to pelt with eggs a man who was carry ing a placard asking the parishioners to secure the return of Mr. Westertnn, as churchwarden. The police took two boys into custody, and at the station they were charged with using insulting lan guage, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. They were, lowever, liberated on bail, and will be brought up at the Thames police-court this morning. In , the afternoon the scene was disgraceful in the extreme. Such an outrage was perpetrated as baffles all description. Mr. Lowder again officiated, and was hissed, and hooted—and mobbed, in fact—on his way to the altar, before which he and his cho risters knelt, two abreast, the choristers' seats hav ing been previously taken up by parishioners. The effect of the " saying" of the responses by the people, while the choir chanted them was most painful in the Litany, as may be readily supposed. There was one incident of a very novel and startling nature. At one of the most solemn pas sages, a sudden howling was heard, which excited loud laughter and produced confusion. It arose from a large black dog which had been treated very freely to some intoxicating beverage, and was rush ing madly about the edifice whining most piteously. Presently the animal dashed right into the very midst of the priests - and choristers, upsetting some of the more diminutive, and producing a scene of the most extraordinary character. Mr. Lowder kept on with the service in spite of all these noises, and the profanity of the scene was such as to shock the feelings of every right-minded individual who was present. Presently another dog was introduced and set up a protracted howl which made most of those laugh who were not afraid that the poor creature was mad. The " effect" was most painful, and the noise of these wretched creatures was so continuous, that almost any one but . Mr. Lowder would have abstained from going on with the service. This " dog scene," which was obviously preconcerted, can never be for gotten by those who witnessed it. The infuriated animals went yelling over every part of the edifice, end-although-kicked out more than once they re turned to the charge with redoubled vigour. One of these canine protesters was eventually so " over taken" that he dropped' off to sleep and was found ix the gallery in a state of helpless intoxication. Mr. Lowder, after the service, was hissed and hooted all the way to Calvert-street, by a mob of several hundred persons, smne of whom eventualiv came into collision with the police, and the atten tion of the mob being thus diverted, Mr. Lowder escaped in safety. In the evening there was again a large congre gation, and the same disgraceful scexes. In fact, the people seem determined to " say" the responses, while the choir persists in chanting them; and while this state of things is kept up, the peace of the parish cannot possibly be- preserved. Mr. Maccono chie preached, and the hisses and interruptions at tained such a de:ree of intensity that the rev. gen tleman stopped short and inquired what the people meant. He said be would not inflict a sermon upon them against their will. Should he go on or not. To which some of the people shouted, " No, no, no," while others said, " Go on," and laughter then ensued. After this somewhat "startling novelty," the sermon was permitted to be concluded in peace, but at the invocation of the Trinity the preacher turned his back to the people, which called forth a terrible shout of disapprobation, in the midst of which the benediction was pronounced, and the affair terminated in the usual way. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Nov. 12. CLERKENWELL.—A PERFECT CANNIBAL.— VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON TIIE POLICE.—Jacob Hull, aged 31, a rough, powerful, brutal-looking fellow, described as a labourer, residing at 41, Col lege-grove, Camden-town, was charged with being drunk, creating a disturbance, and assaulting police constable James Mannering, at Bayham-street, Camden-town. Mr. Wakeling appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Stokes, S division, when the case was called on, handed in the following certificate : " Nov. 12, certify that police-constable Mannering, 442 S, is on the sick list from injuries received to his hands, inflicted in the execution of his duty.—George Bermingham, divisional sur gioa." The prisoner was fined £6 only three weeks ago for assaulting two policemen, he having been remanded for more than a month, and one of the con stables is now unable to go on street duty. Before that he was fined £4 for biting off part of a man's ear, and he had been fined for illusing a horse on the Great Northern Railway. Police-constable Mannering, 442 S, said that on Friday afternoon he was on:duty in Bayham-street, Camden-town, when he saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, turned out of a public-house. The pri soner no sooner saw him (witness) than, before a word could be uttered, he struck him (the constable) a violent blow in the chest, and nearly knocked him down. When he recovered himself the prisoner again struck and knocked him down, ran into a sweep's house, and hid himself in a quantity of soot. (A laugh.) Witness got him out, and con veyed him part of the way to tie station, when the prisoner became exceedingly violent, put his legs between the constable's legs, threw him down, bit one of the knuckles of his left hand, as well as biting the fingers of his right hand, and kicking him se verely. It was not until the arrival of assistance that the prisoner could be conveyed to the police station. When the prisoner first struck the con stable he said, "Take that, you you are one of the gang that got me fined th© other day." Witnesses were -called, who confirmed the con stable's statement, and said the violent conduct of the prisoner was disgraceful. The prisoner said he was very sorry, and if he was forgiven this time he would never drink any more. Had it not been for the liquor it never would have occurred. If he was sent to prison he should lose his work. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a brutal, violent, beastly fellow, and the only doubt he had was whether he should not send the prisoner to the sessions for trial. lie could not allow the excuse of drunkenness as a plea for knocking the constables about. To mark his sense of the prisoner's conduct he should send him to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for one month. Mr. Wakeling applied that a fine might be in• flicted, but the magistrate would not alter his deci sion. ivIA R LBOROUTI-STREET.—BRUTAL ASSAULT BY SOLDIERS.—John Davis and Richard Prev, ivates in the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards, stationed at St. John's-wood Barracks, were charged with the following brutal assaults : Mr. Theodore il'riesler, a German, of 25, George street, Portman-square, cabinetmaker, said he was passing through South Audley-street at half-past 11 over night, and saw the prisoners —one leaning on a post, and the other standing by bim. As he passed, the one said to the other, who was leasing, " Keep up, my boy, and don't be a fool ;" upon which the ons addressed, jumping up, asked him (complainant) why he had called him a fool. He told him he was mistaken, for he had not insulted him or even spoken. Fearing the prisoner meant mischief, he ran away as fast as he could, and finding he was pursued by the prisoners, he appealed to a constable he met, who recommended him to pass on, and he did so, but on reaching Orchard-street, was over taken by them and knocked down, and then kicked in the ribs and eye. The prisoners, he considered, were the worse for liquor. He himself was quite sober, having taken nothing in the way of liquor all day.—(The complainant's eye was frightfully swollen and discoloured.) Mr. John Cutting, 1, Vere-street, Oxford-street, draper, was passing, and saw Davis knock the com plainant down by a powerful blow, and when on the ground he kicked him in the most brutal man ner about the body, in the ribs, and in the eye. The complainant succeeded in getting up, was knocked down again, and while being so ill-treated, Prew called out, " Give it him, let him have it." Sergeant Greaves, 31 D, being informed of the assault, followed the prisoners to Portman-square, where Davis, who was about 20 yards from him, seeing him (witness) took off his belt, doubled it, and twisted it, round his wrist. He went quietly up to him, and got it suddenly from him, telling him he was charged with assaulting a foreigner. He replied " All right," and then the comple.inant, whose face was covered with blood, coming 'ap with another officer, he laid hold of Davis to tele him into custody ; upon which, falling a pace. or two back, he ran at and butted him in the stomach with his head, which knocked him down. Sc.rttmbling up in the best way he could, ho was again. knocked down in a similar way. With difficulty he reco vered his standing and closed with him, and then was struck in the eye by Davis, and after some struggling both fell down together. At length, with assistance, they were got to the , %teflon. Davis had nothing to say. Prew said the complainant called. him a d---d fool, and abused him, and taunted, him about fo reigners beating them in the Crimea. They had all been drinking gether just before. Complainant recalled. Mr. Bingham—l,4 there a word of truth in this statement ? Complainant—Not a word, upon my honour. I never gaw them before. • Mr. Bingham—l must say that the defence of Prew is, if possible, the - worst feature in this case. You thought, by this impudent falsehood, to mislead me, but you shall find yotb-self disappo'nted. I do not stop to inquire what your characters are. If you were the best men in the regiment, which you by such conduct disgrace, you should be severely punished. ' To Enoch an niVfrending man down in the streets is most monstrous, and your as- ' sault on the police most brutal. For the assault on the policeman you, Davis, are committed for one month, and fined £5 or two months for the previous assault, to commence at the expiration of the first term; and you, Prew, are fined £3, or six weeks, for encouraging your comrade in his barbarity. ROBBERY BY A BARMAID.—Emma King, bar maid, in the :service of Mr. L. llammond, licensed victualler, and proprietor of the Gloucester Hotel, Park-street, Oxford-street, underwent a re-exami nation on the charge of robbing her master's bar of various sums of money at various times. The prisoner entered prosecutor's service in June, and in consequence of suspicion money was marked and given to Roy, the detective officer, and to a private person, who sent in customers with the same to test the honesty of the prisoner. When accused after this she denied taking the money, but finding the officer was sent for, fell on her knees, begged forgiveness of her master, and admitted stealing about £4 10s. In her purse, required of her by Roy, was found, among £l6 10s. in gold, a marked sove reign, stolen from a slab in the bar the over night. Mr. Child, of the firm of Wire and Child, atten ded for the prosecution ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely place, for the defence. Mr. llammond said be had lost a very great deal of money at various times since the prisoner entered his service, to the extent of full £l4 or £l5 a-week, Mr. Child said the case had assumed a far more serious aspect than before, from the fact that a num ber of letters, amounting to nearly 300, addressed to'the prisoner, had been found—letters of such a character that they defied all description—and that any one calling himself a man could have ventured to address them to a female was a perfect marvel. The letters spoke of the writer being engaged in a burglary that did not come off, and altogether their contents weresuch as to stamp him as a villain of the deepest dye. Ile had no doubt this fellow had in cited her to rob her master. In one of his letters he boasted that he hail gone home drunk, sold off the whole of his furniture—for he was a married man, with a family—and that he had got blind drunk with the money so raised ; this was the fellow who made love to the prisoner. As a further specimen of what sort of a man he was, he would mention that he signed his letters to the prisoner, " Albert Pearl, alias the Villain." During the whole of the time the prisoner had been in the prosecutor's employ he had los: upwards of £lO a-week. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner was at the mercy of the prosecutor. lie was afraid that what was stated was too true, ant that she had been in the hands of an infamous maa. The prosecutor said he would listen to nothing in the shape of a compromise, but was willing to leave the ease in the wands of the magistrate. Mr. Child sad his only regret was that the great offender was mt in custody. Mr. Binghan (the prisoner pleadinr , guilty) com mitted her for dx months, with harelabour. The prisonerit appears was discharged from a former situation, in the employ of Mr. Amos, for encouraging th 3 fellow Pearl, who is stated to be a notorious skittle sharper, and to have once been convicted, Mr. Amos having been informed of the character of the 'man. Some of the letters, which were produced byßoy, 338 A, the dete3tivo having charge of the case, were of a most singuar nature. Mixed up with protes tations of love were such expressions as the fol lowing : " The . job of burglary did not come off—we were disturbed, and•, it was spoilt." " I have sold off everything, turned my wife out of doors, and got blind drunk with the money." I feel as if I could murder any one, and hang upon the scaffold." " I care not what lecomes of me if the world is going to use me lile this. Let that deceiving God above curse me how he likes, for he always was a wretch to ne, but never Mind." The letter containing the last remark was signed.— "Albert Pearl,alias the Villain." In another, al luding to an oil friend, he styles him " a true lago, -- him." Others of the letters were interlarded with grossly olscene language, perfect abomina tions, and provng that the fellow Pearl must be, as Mr. Child appropriately - termed him, a villain of the deepest dye. GREENWICH. —ALLEGED ASSAULT IN A RAIL WAY CARRIAGE—Mr. J. French, a gentleman re siding near Levisham, appeared before Mr. Traill in discharge of its bail, on a charge of assaulting Maria Astell, a young woman residing in Rother hithe ; and Mr. G. Henderson, a surgeon, of Dept ford, appeared to a summons charging him with en. deavouring to cissuade the complainant from giv ing evidence in the case. Mr. Ribton appeared for French, and Mr. Doyle for the other defendant. The depositions-were taken at great length, but the facts may he briefly stated. The complainant,' it appeared, started by an excursion train from Brighton on the evening-of Sunday, the 30th ult., having been give% in care of the first-named defend ant by her uncle, to see her safe to New-cross. When near the Three Bridges station (according to the statement made by complainant), she was attempted to be kissed by tLe first-named defendant, no (Alva person being in the carriage but themselves. On the train being stopped at the first station she com plained of being assaulted, and was put into another carriageand proceeded to New-cross, where a charge of assault was preferred. On hearing which the defendant offered a money compensation, rather than such a derogatory charge should be made. This charge was, however, persisted in; but on the case being called on for hearing the following morn ing the complainant did not make her appearance. A remand then took place, but the complainant was still not forthcoming, anda warrant was granted for her apprehension. She bad proceeded to Warwick shire, and was brorght up from there by au officer. She hen stated that as a gross assault had not been committed, after signing the charge-sheet, she considered the night's lock-up was a sufficient punish ment. In reply to questions by the magistrate, complainant said that on the Monday morning the defendant Henderson called upon her at the resi dence of a person with whom she was then staying, having attended her professionally previously, and said he had come from the gentleman whom she had given in charge; but she then told him 'she did not intend to at peat in the case, and upon his ask ing the nature of the case, and being informed, he said as: some kind of insult had been offered, he thought she was entitled to compensation, and gave her £8 The same evening she receiveda summons, requiring her attendance at th e cour t, and upon Mr. Henerson calling upon her the following morning she showed him the summons, when be took it from her, saying it was nothing, and told her to call at his house in the evening with her aunt. They did so, and he then told her that he thought it would be better for her to attend the court on the followingday. Instead of doing which, however, she proceeded to her grandfather's in War wickshire. Mr. Traill said the attempt at interference with the complainant, left him no alternative but to send both cases before another tribunal, though, but for the interference, the case, so tar as the assault was concerned, might have been disposed of in a sum mary manner. Mr. Jtibton, for the first defendant, said that, having heard the determination of his worship, he should not trouble the court with any other remark than by simply observing that when the case came before the jury, the facts would be found to have been grossly exaggerated. Mr. Doyle, on the part of the second defendant, observed that all that had been done by his client was from motives of kindness and sympathy to both parties, and altogether in ignorance of the law as applying to persons to give evidence, under the cir cumstances stated, in a court of justice, and ho be lieved that‘no jury would be found to convict in such a case. Mr. Traill said he felt bound to send both cases for trial, as the one was bearing upon the other. He would, however, accept bail for their appearance at the sessions in two sureties of £lOO each. The required bail was immediately put in, and the defendants left the court with their friends.

A respite was received by the sheriffs on Satur day evening for the prisoner Charles Annois, a Portuguese seaman, who was convicted of murder at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, and left for execution, the day appointed for carrying out the sentence being this (Monday) morning. It will be recollected that the prisoner was ship ped as cook on board a British vessel called the Margaret, at Lisbon, and that when she had been a few days at sea the prisoner cut the throat of the captain, as he lay asleep in his berth, with a carving knife, and afterwards made a desperate attack upon others of the crew with the same weapon, his pro ceeding being apparently without any object or motive, the unfortunate deceased particularly having treated him with great kindness. The pri soner would have been altogether without legal assistance at his trial if the matter had not been taken up by the representatives of the Portuguese Government, who retained counsel on his behalf, and the defence set up was that the prisoner com mitted the act while labouring temporary insanity, and it was urged that he ought to be acquitted upon that ground. The jury, however, found the pri soner guilty of the crime of wilful murder, and the 14th of November was the day fixed for his execu tion. A very general feeling appeared to prevail among all the parties conneected with the case that the prisoner ought not to have been convicted of murder, particularly as, apart from the peculiar cir cumstances under which the crime appeared to have been committed, there was reason to believe that the prisoner had been confined as a lunatic in Lis bon shortly before he joined the Margaret, and that if more time had been allowed evidence could have been 'brought forward to establish this fact.. Mr. Sleigh, the counsel who conducted the pro secution, it appears had a very strong feeling that upon the evidence the life of the prisoner ought not to be taken, and he waited upon Mr. Justice Wil liams, who tried the case, and intimated to that learned judge the views he entertained upon the sub ject, and at the same time asked him whether he con sidered it would be acting in any way unbecoming his possition if he . were to wait upon the Home Se cretary and have some communication with him in reference to the fate of the unhappy prisoner. Mr. Justice Williams stated that it appeared to him that so far from the interference of the learned counsel being in anyway unbecoming or improper, he considered that the interest he took in the fate of the unfortunate prisoner was highly creditable to his humanity, and honourable to him in his position as an advocate, and that if he felt that the prisoner's life should be spared, it was his duty to put the Secretary of State in possession of any information that would justify him in coming to that conclusion. Mr. Sleigh accordingly, it appears, waited upon the Home Secretary on Saturday afternoon, and had 'a conversation of some duration with him in refer ence to the case of the prisoner. The particulars, of course, cannot be made public, but the result was that Sir G. Lewis consented to respite the execu tion for fourteen days, namely, to the 28th of No vemberotnd a communication was made to the sheriffs to that effect ; but they were at the same time requested to impress distinctly upon the pri soner that his life was not positively spared, but that it would depend entirely upon the further in quiries that would be instituted relatini, to the state of his mind whether the capital sentence would be carried out or not. The communication of the Se cretary of State was received at the gaol of New gate about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon, at which time barriers had been erected in the Old Bailey, and all the necessary preliminaries for the dreadful ceremony had been prepared, and all ex pectation that the life of the unhappy man would be spared had left the minds of the officials of the prison. The sheriffs, at once proceeded to the cell where the prisoner ivai confined, and communicated to him the intelligence they had just received, taking especial care to explain to him that the reprieve was only for a certain period, and he appeared, deeply thankful for the respite, as may be imagined. It is understood that further inquiries relating to the prisoner will be made immediately at Lisbon, and if they should turn out as is anticipated, the prisoner's sentence will, in all probability, be com muted to orb of penal servitude. FRIGHTFUL MOWER AT COVENTRY. COViNTRY, SATURDAY. Much gloom was thrown arm' this city to-day by a report, which has unhappily pro yed too true, that a horrible murder had been perpetrau'd in a thickly populated district called Hil'fields. FrOm the Par ticulars which we are able to glean it appC ars that the murderer is a young man about 22 years Of age, named._ John Kingston, a weaver by trade, and Mat the victim is a young woinan to whom heehad - no: long been married, and by whom he has had one or two children. For some time past they had lived very unhappily , . together, the husband being of a very violent and passionate disposition, and there doubtless being faults on the other side. A few weeks since the wife made a complaint before the ma7istrates of her husband's violence towards her, end of his having threatened to murder her. The Bench accordingly bound him over to keep the peace, his father becoming the requisite surety. The term expired this morning, and it would seem that the wretched man had resolved beforehand to carry his threat into execution this time ; for, meeting his wife as she was going from her work between eight and nine o'clock this morning to breakfast, at the house in which she lodged—has ing been living apart from her husband—he induced her to walk with him up a lane and into some fields near at hand. Here he attacked her in the most determined manner with a large clasp knife, and, after inflicting several deep gashes in her face, he ultimately succeeded in cutting her throat. He shortly afterwards gave himself up to a policeman, coolly remarking that " She was dead enough. He had cut her head off." The body was found lying in a pool of blood by the passers-by, and on Mr. Dresser, surgeon, examining it, he found tliat the main artery of the throat had been divided, so that death must have been almost instantaneous. _ The murderer was brought before the magis trates this morning, and remanded for furtter exa mination. He spoke with the greatest coolness of the heinous crime with which he stands charged. He said, " She shouldn't have been ruled by her father, but by me. Her father is the whole cause of our disagreements." The prisoner, whose hands and clothes were besmeared with the blood of his victim, was remanded for a week. FATAL EFFECTS OF CRINOLINE. On Saturday, Mr. Wakley, the Coroner for West Middlesex, held a long inquiry at the Duke of Richmond Tavern, Pembroke-terrace, Islington, touching the death of Mrs. Rebecca Hicks, aged 45, who was burnt to death under most shocking and lamentable circumstances. Dr. Oliver Lemon, of No. 8, Pembroke-terrace, Islington, said about four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, an alarm was given that the residence of the deceased, which was adjoining, was on fire. On going out in the front garden he observed smoke issuing from the drawing-room windows, as also from the kitchen. He found the hall door open, and volumes of smoke descending the stairs from the first flcor. He reached the drawing-room door, and discovered that most of the furniture was on fire, also in a back chamber the bed and curtains were in flames. On going into the front kitchen with Inspector Judge, of the N division of police, a dreadful sight presented itself; the unfortunate de ceased lady was on the floor, with the whole of her apparel consumed, and the whole of her person literally baked. By the-Jury—l saw no one in the house when I entered. There were fires in the drawing-room and chamber grates. The Coroner said he had no doubt but that the deceased caught fire in her bedroom. That she afterwards went into the drawing-room, that there she discovered she was on fire, and then rushed down into the front kitchen, where she perished. Inspector Judge said that there was a tank of water in the front kitchen, and the poor lady ran there to qUench her clothes if possible. It required the utmost exertions to save the house, as the draw ing-room,:chamber, and front kitchen had articles of furniture burning in them. Tubbs, the summoning officer, said that at the time of the calamity the deceased had her crinoline on, and he considered her dress caught in her pass ing between the foot of the bedstead and fireplace. The coroner and jury commented in the strongest terms on the use of crinoline. Tubbs was sent for the remains of the crinoline, the hoops of which were found to measure in cir cumference two yards and three-quarters. The jury returned 4 verdict " That the deceased was accidentally burnt, owing to wearing crinoline in the house, which they considered a most impro• per and dangerous practice."
