MURDER AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. It is our painful duty this day to record the par ticulars of as atrocious a murder, committed in the vicinity of the metropolis as has occurred for a series of years. At an early hour yesterday morn ing a report was circulated throughout Blackheath, Greenwich, and Deptford, that a man named Joseph Lambourn had murdered his wife, Who was living servant at Mr. Davidson's, landlord of the York shire Grey Inn, at the foot of Blackheath-hill. Se veral residents of the above neighbourhood, hearing what had taken place, quickly repaired to Mr. Da vidson's house, when, on entering the kitchen, the lifeless body of a female, named Maria Lambourn, presented itself to the beholders. The body of the unfortunate woman was lying on the floor with the head nearly separated from the trunk, to which it ad hered only by a small piece of flesh at the back of the neck. There were several cuts on the cheeks, and also on the arms, particularly on the right one, which had a wound on it nearly six inches in length. The floor of the kitchen was literally inundated with blood from the wounds on the deceased, together with a quantity which also flowed from a 'gash that appeared on the throat of Joseph Lambourn, the hus band, who was discovered lying beside his wife, and who it seemed, after having murdered her, had AtteTqted to destroy himself by cutting his throat, When the surprise and horror which such a dread ful spectacle was calculated to inspire in the minds of those who first beheld it had in some manner subsided, the knife which the wounded man still held firmly in his grasp was wrested from his hands, and he was forthwith conveyed into another apart ment in the house, and medical assistance sent for. I, :n the interval he thrust the fingers of one of his hands into the wound he inflicted on his neck, and tried to tear it open, and no doubt would have suc ceeded in destroying himself, bad he not been pre vented 11 several persons who held him. On the assival of the surgeon be found the unfortunate woman beyond the power of all human aid. The wounded man, however, who was then not consi dered in imminent danger, was enabled to articulate when the wound was stressed, and on the way to Guy's Hospital, where he was ordered to be con veyed, he scarcely opened his lips during the whole way from Blackheath. From subsequent inquiries made by our Reporter, it was ascertained that no person was present when the circumstances that previously occurred between Lambourn and his wife took place, and which terminated in the truly shocking manner above described. It seems that Lambourn and the deceased, who had been married to each other about two years, lived very unhappily together, he being of a morose and violent temper. In consequence of his ill-treatment of her at various times, she left and went into service, and since then 'tie has frequently called where she was living and ill-used and abused her.— Ori ; :ng to a beating that he gave the deceased at OAO commencement of this month, she went before the Magistrates of Greenwich, and took out a war rant against him, which, however, was not executed, as the person against whom it was issued left the neighbourhood, and went down to work in Oxford shire. Since he absented himself from Blackheath his wife has been living at the Yorkshire Grey, where she has conducted herself with great pro priety, and was considered by her employers as a quiet, inoffensive woman. Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for Kent, having been made acquainted with the dreadful nature of the case, immediately issued his summons for a Jury to investigate the affair. INQUEST ON THE BODY. At two o'clock precisely, a Jury, composed of the most respectable inhabitants of Blackheath, was held on the body of - the deceased Maria Lambourn, aged 44 years, at the Yorkshire Grey Inn, -in that town. The road in front of the above house was crowded with persons attracted thither by the report of the almost unparalleled atrocity of the murder. The CORQSER directed the Jury to view the body, which was lying in an adjacent apartment, and which they found in the mangled state already men tioned. A feeling of horror pervaded the minds of every individual who, from the nature of their ditties, were obliged to view the corpse, and one of the jurymen was so overcome by the appalling sight, that he was attacked with syncope soon after wards, but recovered on the administration of powerful stimulants. NVilliam Greenhoop examined—l am horsckcrper to Messrs. Horne and Co. and attend at the York shire Grey stables. That morning, about twenty minutes keforc six o'clock, while I was at work in the stable, the deceased threw up the sash of her bed-room window, and asked the hour. About a quarter of an hour after this I heard a screaming in the kitchen which fronts the stables, and on going to ascertain the cause, it struck me the deceased's husband was ill-using her, as he mas in the habit of doing. On entering the kitchen I saw Lambourn, Lis wife (the deceased) was in his arms, with her head lying over his left arm. He had a knife in his tight hand, with which he appeared to be cutting her throat. She was struggling at the time with Lambourn, who exclaimed while he was using the knife, " I will, I will." I was so alarmed, said the witness, on seeing what was going forward, that I ran out of the kitchen in order to give the alarm, and seeing some persons in the road, I re-entered the kitchen, and saw the deceased lying on the floor, with her head nearly cut off, and the place about her in a pool of blood. CoßosEtt—lnform the Jury the reason, when you first entered the kitchen, and saw the deceased struggling against Lambourn, who held a knife in his haul, and was in the act of murdering her, why you did not interfere to prevent the catastrophe? Witness—l was so alarmed, for Lambourn held a knife in his hand, and I had no weapon to resist him if he attacked me. He looked at the time ghastly and frightful, and the terror and state of agitation into which I was thrown, completely paralyzed my exertions. I heard Lambourn exclaim, when he had his wife in the position described, " I'll do it, I will." Joseph Woodman examined—l am a labouring man, and work for Mr. Disney. About ten minutes after six o'clock that morning, as I was going to work, I saw the last witness, and he called to me, and begged I would go into the Yorkshire Grey, which I did. On entering the kitchen I saw the (4:ceased on the floor, and Lambourn kneeling down near her head, with one band upon it, and with a knife which was in the other he was in the act of mangling and cutting her throat. There was a great quantity of blood on the floor near the de ceased. I was greatly frightened at the sight, and ran to the door to look for further help, and when I went back into the kitchen, Lambourn, who was then standing over the deceased, said, " There, I have done it now." Witness exclaimed, " You ruffian, you have murdered the woman." He made no reply, and I turned again to the door to see if any persons were coming; and on looking towards Lambourn again, I saw that his throat was cut, and I observed him endeavouring to tear open the wound with his fingers. Mr. William Rogers, a surgeon, described the dreadful nature of the injuries inflicted on the de ceased. In reply to a Juror, the witness could not posi tively state whether Lambourn was insane or not; but his impression was, that he was not, from his manner and conduct subsequently to the occurrence having taken place. Another ' medical Man' confirmed Mr. Rogers's This . being the whole of the evidence adduced, t he Jury, after a short consultation, unanimously re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Richard Lambourn," who is now in Guy's Hospital; but when sufficiently recovered from the effects of the wound in his throat, will be committed to Maidstone Gaol, there to await his trial at, the forthcoming Assizes• STAte OF RICHARD LABIBOURN. Richard Lamhourn Was received into Guy's Hos at nine✓ o'clock yesterday morning, in a very exhausted state of body, and evincing 'the utmost wretchedness of mind. lie was alive last evning, and there are yet hopes entertained that he may re cover. During the day, at intervals, he groaned bitterly, more from his anguished state of mind than from any bodily torture, which his wtunds produced. No disclosures were required of him, and the sur geons attended him with the very utmost care. He took some partial nourishment, and slept about one hour. He was in precisely the same state at eight o'clock last evening and, probably, may live some (lays. His age is about sixty. The certificate :of his marriage, a letter, and other papers, were taken from hint at Blackheath. CIRCULAR. THE ARMY. WAR-OITICE, JUNE 26, 1829. am directed by the Secretary at War to send herewith a Memorandum, explaining certain points necessary to be attended to by persons claim ing allowances from the Compassionate Fund, and have to request, that before you transmit to this office any applcation on behalf of a deceased Of ficer's Children, you will communicate the particulars contained in the Memorandum to their mother, or other relative who has charge of them, in order that they may have an opportunity of considering whether the circumstances of the children are such as would, or would not, prevent their making the affidavits that would be required for the issue of any allowance that might be granted.--4 am, Sir, your most obe dient humble servant, To Army Agents. L. £ULIVAN. MEMORANDUM FOPS TUE INFORMATION OF rEnsor:s CLAIMING ALLOWANCES FROM THE COMPASSIONATE FUND. The purpose for which allowances from the Com passionate Fund are granted is to afford some relief to the children of deceased officers, who, during infancy, and the early part of their lives, are in cir cumstances of great pecuniary distress, and are totally incapable of maintaining themselves. The Compassionate Fund is limited in amount, and is inadequate to meet all- the claims that are made upon it : and, therefore, in distributing the savings which from time to time'occur, the claims will be considered in reference to the services of the officer, and the duty on which he was employed when he died, and the strongest cases of compassion will be selected, to replace those which mny have been discontinued. The oath required to be taken by the mother or guardian of children on the Compassionate list is to the following effect, viz., that they are the legitimate children of the deceased officer; that they have no other allowance, pension, or provision from the Go vernment, either of Great Britain or Ireland; that their pecuniary circumstances, and those of their family, are so limited that they actually require assistance from the Compassionate Fund; and in the case of males, that they are not 18 years of age ; and in the case of females, that they are not 21 years of age, and are not married. The parties who would be required to make the oath, in the event of any allowance being granted, should therefore consider, before they make applica tion, whether the pecuniary circumstances of the children, and those of their family, are so limited that they actually require the assistance claimed. All applications for compassionate allowances should state the situation in which the children are left, and their means of support, and should be ac companied by a list of the names and dates of birth of the children, and extracts from the Baptismal Registers ; and also by a recommendation from some officer of rank, or person of respectability, who has a sufficient knowledge of the case, to be able to certify that the children can, with propriety, be relieved from a fund established for compassionate purposes. micts OF STOCKS THIS Hank , :tnck 9 1 114 12 3 per Cent. lied.

Government has received no official intel ligence of the battle between the Turks and Rus sians, near Shumla, on the 11th June. The intelligence, however, has obtained full credit. His Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY had a long conference with Sir GEORGE NIUR• RAY, this morning, at the Colonial Office, on business connected with the Colonies. The contents of the French Papers are still of a domestic character, and cannot therefore be supposed to be of much foreign interest. The discussions on the Budget still continue. They possess this striking difference between the discussions of former yews, that the senti ments of the speakers are far more liberal and spirited. The speakers themselves haVe become more emboldened the more they scrutinise the actions, and canvas the projects, of Ministers. The Swiss-troops in the pay of France, amount ing to 12,000 men, are looked on by the Cham ber-with a jealous uneasiness, and advantage is taken to their prejudice, of the circumstance that their pay and allowances are higher by 2-sths than those of the French soldiers. This is ac counted for by the fact that the BOURBONS, on their restoration, concluded a treaty with the Swiss Cantons for the pay and maintenance of 12,000 Swiss troops for a period of 25 years, at the terms above stated, and this term will not expire for ten years at least : (From the Messager des Chambres ) " PARIS, JUNE 26. " EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM LISBON', JUNE 6. " "Ile Belle Gabriel, French frigate, has just arrived in this port. It could not appear more apropos than after the executions at Oporto, and the excesses recently committed in the capital by the Royalist volunteers. The presence of this vessel has produced here a lively sensation and almost general joy. It cannot fail to inspire the dis turbers of the peace with awe, and will preserve our coun trymen from the insults and ill-treatment to which the in habitants tif Lisbon have been exposed for above a fort night.'" (From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.) "Pants, JUNE 26.—For these two days past the funds have been much in favour, which has been atti Hinted to the resolution which has been again agitated by the Bank to reduce the rate of discount from 4to 3 per cent. We ,!o do not know whether this news is well founded, but it is certain that the smallness of the half-yearly dividend must induce the Council of the Bank'to adopt some mea sure which may promis e a more advantageous employment of its capital."

An Italian Journal received this .morning states that shocks of earthquake still continue to alarm the inhabitants of Albano ROME, JUNE 11.—We regret to announce that the shocks of earthquake continue to alarm the inhabitants of the vicinity of Albano; on the Bth and 9th the shocks were more sensible than usual, hut, thanks to Providence, nobody has yet fallen a victim to this scourge, against which prayers continued to be addressed to the Divine mercy. German Papers of the 23d June have been received. The Ambassadors of France and England were expected to arrive at Constanti nople about the beginning of June. Whether the news of the recent battle between the GRAND VIZIER and the Russians would facilitate the object of their mission, is a problem not very easy of solution. The vengeance and mortification of the Turks would no doubt increase i❑ proportion to the insolence of the Russians. If the GRAND VIZIER be able to effect his return to Shumla, he will give a different account of the battle to that furnished by the Russians; and the fact of his return will go far to corroborate the main tenor of his story. It would appear that Admiral HEYDEN does lot prosecute the system of blockade with his Former severity, for he has returned to Poros . leaving the command at the Dardanelles to Ad miral RICORD, with a small portion of the fleet. A general movement seems to have taken place among the English and French fleets also. Admiral MALCOLM has gone to Smyrna in order to be nearer the scene of operations, and the better to protect the interests of the British merchants. An English Commissioner is re ported as having gone to Greece to bring about an armistice between the Greeks and Turks, but this we think at least premature, for it is not likely that an armistice would be effected, before the Ambassadors of England and France had first effected some arrangements at Constantinople. The account given by the Russians of the gal lant resistance and desperate but cool valour of the Turks at Pcndcrakli, is highly creditable to the spirit of these people. "It is but justice to say (says the Russian account) that the Turks displayed extraordinary valour in the defence of their ship. They erected batteries wherever they could be of any use, and if our artillery obliged them to abandon one, they chose another posi- lion, and immediately had 20 guns mounted." Nothing can speak more eloquently than this in the praise of a brave people : TRIESTE, JUNE 16.—1 t was reported at Corfu that the Ambassadors of France and England would arrive at Con tar.tinople by the beginning of June. It was said also that Admiral Heyden, who lately sailed to the Dardanelles in order to enforce the blockade with greater strictness, had returned to Poros with the greater part of his fleet, leaving Admiral Ricord at Tenedos, to continue the blockade ; Admiral Malcolm, on the contrary, is said to have gone to Smyrna to protect the English trade in the Archipelago. Large remittances have again been received lately at Ancona for the Russian squadron. It was re ported at Zante that an English Commissioner had been sent to the continent of Greece for the purpose of bringing about an armistice between the Turks and the Greeks. The French troops in the Morea are in the best condition, and are encamped at different ppints. It was believed that the French men-of-war stationed in the Archipelago would assemble at Smyrna. The various movements lately made by the squadrons of the three mediating Powers, gave ample scope for conjecture to our coffee house politicians. ODESSA, JUNE 6.—An extraordinary Supplement to the Journal of to-day contains extracts of reports received by Admiral Greigh, from Captain Skalowsky, command ing a division of the fleet, and dated 13th (25th) May. The first extract contains at great length the proceedings of the division at Cape Baba, the result of which was the burning of a lar2,e man of war, in the harbour of Pen derakli, and of several smaller vessels. The tow n suffered considerably, and its probable, from its numerous popula tion, that many must have been killed. 6' It is but justice," says the Captain, . 66 to say that the Turks displayed extraordinary valour in the defence of their ship. They erected batteries wherever they could be of uny use; and, if our artille r y obli g ed them to abandon one, they chose another position , and immedi ately had 20 guns mounted. Their musqueteers a pp eared in great num bers, notwithstanding our grape shot, which swep t t h e c..ast, and some of them even had the boldness to try to ex tinguish the flames in the ship." The second report relates the destruction of eight Turkish vessels at Schili. The operations were per formed with success in spite of a terrible fire from numer ous batteries masked by the woods and from the musketry; the latter was kept up by the Turks with such spirit, that Capt. S. says all our boats are pierced through and through with balls. A Turkish corvette of 26 guns, just ready to be launched at Pendeiakli, was also completely dism * antled and shot to pieces. A letter from an officer on board the Black Sea fleet gives an account of the extraordinary escape of the Mercury brig of 18 guial from tw•o Turkish ships of the line. Another post may bring us intelligence whether the GRAND VIZIER has been able to effect his return to Shumla or not. The pre sumption is in his favour, judging from the cir cumstance that the Russians were not able to make an active pursuit. Perhaps, however, their force in the vicinity of Shumla was sufficiently strong to intercept his retreat. It would be idle to spe culate upon the consequences of this battle till we have more authentic, or rather later, accounts. If the VIZIER has been able to carry off the main portion of his army, the Russians will yet have enough to do at Shumla. PRIVY COUNCIL-(THIS DAY.) The Lords of his Majesty's most Hon. Privy Council had a meeting this morning. The Lords present were Earl Bathurst, Lord Wynford, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Right Hon. Hugh Elliot. Their 'Lordships gave judgment in the case of Mannings v. Watherstone, remitted from Trinidad; and Treyhans v. Cramer, from Demerara. The Council was afterwards engaged in hearing the arguments of Mr. Adam, in the case of Black ford v. Christian, remitted from the Isle of Man. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TirrzLrig o' CLocr.

The Court were again occupied this morning, till we went to press, with the case partly heard yester day of " Roe, on the dem. of hart v. Wynne, Esq." in which nothing of public interest transpire(. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. There was only one motion before the Court this morning, which was immediately disposed of, and the Court adjourned. The LORD CHIEF BARON afterwards sat in Equity in the Exchequer Chamber. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HEATHINGTON V. GRAHAM. This was an action of dowry, brought by the wife of Francis lleathington, deceased, against the purcl:aser of the estate of her husband, who was a bankrupt before he died, which estate was sold by the assignees to the defendant. The latter put in a plea of adultery on the part of the wife, in bar of the right of dower, and it came on this morning to be argued. Mr. Sergeant W ILDE read the affidavits, which stated that the plaintiff, Mrs. Heathington, had during the life time of her husband, committed adultery with one William Coulson, and had con tinued to live with the said William Coulson in adultery, without the consent of her husband, from which she had subsequently received no considera tion for such offence. The Learned Sergeant contended that this was not sufficient to bar the right of dower. The words of the Statute were, "if she shall of her own accord leave her husband, and go away with and remain with the adulterer, her right of dower shall be barred." The words were in the conjunctive and in the disjunctive, and it was therefore necessary that all these things should be united, to bar the dower ; but in th;s case it had not been proved that she had gone away with the adulterer. The Statute also said, "if she shall be convicted thereupon, super hoc." Now this meant a regular conviction, and not a mere proof of the fact ; and under these circumstances he con tended that the dower could not be barred. Mr. Sergeant JONES on tl►c contrary argued, that any one of these Acts barred the right of dower, and he quoted several decisions of Lord Coke upon the subject, where bis Lordship held any one of the facts to be sufficient to bar the right of dower. Mr. Sergeant WILDE replied. The CIIIEF JUSTICE said, that the Court had not much doubt upon the subject, but as it wa , a case of importance, they would consider well before they gave judgment. _ THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

The marriage of the daughter of a certain noble and literary Baron, is, it i 4 said, to be precipitlted, in consequence of disagreements with her mother,— Court Journal: MINISTERIAL DINNER AT GREENWICH. On Saturday the Grand Annual Ministerial fish dinner took place at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Greenwich. What the origin of this entertainment was we do not know, but it has been observed time immemorial. The dinner consisted of twenty-four different kinds of fish, dressed in the very first style. The white bait was in great quantities, and, in fact, was considered the greatest delicacy in the room. There were two tables laid in the form of a horse shoe, and Mr. Peel, at the request of the Duke of Wellington, took the chair. The grand apartment was decorated with green boughs, and made a very splendid exhibition. At five o'clock the company arrived in Whitehall barges, and the dinner was instantly served up. There were amongst the company, besides the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel, the following noblemen and gentlemen :—the Lord Chancellor, Marquis Camden, Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Dun glass, Lord Bexley, Lord Melville, Earl Powis, Lord Ashley, Lord Granville Somerset, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Lord Aberdeen, Mr. Herries, Mr. Planta, Mr. Horace Miss, Lord Belgrave, the lion. E. Ashley, Mr. R. Peel, Mr. Vesey Fitz gerald, &C. There were present fifty persons. Mr. PEEL, after the usual loyal toasts were drunk, proposed the health of the Duke of Wellington, which was received with great applause. The CHAIRMAN made some appropriate comments upon the course of politics pursued by the Noble Duke, and declared that no course could be more admirably adapted to the condition of the empire. The Ministry of his Grace was signalised by a great measure, undertaken at a period of the most cr►tical nature, and recommended by the most powerful of all recommendations—an imperious and overruling necessity. That this measure originated in wisdom •. there could be no question, and accordingly its effects' - were observable in the greification which it had - yielded to all classes of his Majesty's subjects. The Duke of WELLINGTON very briefly returned thanks, and proposed the health of Lord Hill and the Army. The Lord Chancellor's health was next drank, oral Mr. PEEL, iu proposing it,,joked upon a mistake which had been made by the Lord Chancellor, just before dinner. it happened that the Fox first din ner was given at the Ship Tavern on the same day, at which the admirers of that Statesman are in the habit of dining, and there were assembled there Lord Holland, Lord Say and Sele, Lord Grey, Lord. Durham, Lord Grosvenor, and several other Noble men. The Lord Chancellor, by mistake, betook him self to the Ship instead of the Crown and Sceptre, and to the astonishment of all, walked into the pre sence of the Whig Lords, who, although they had on notice of his approach, very warmly welcomed him. The Lord Chancellor, upon finding such a number of faces with which he had an unfavourable poli tical acquaintance, began to suspect that he had got into the wrong box, and made the necessary ►n quiry. It is said that he started upon hearing the name cf " Fox" mentioned, and taking his hat departed with all possible speed to the " Crown and Sceptre," where he was received with greater warmth the moment be mentioned the disaster. Mr. Peel thought that the visit of the DA - Chancellor to the Ship was rather ominous. The newspapers, if they got hold of it, would put fifty constructions upon it. No doubt some of the in genious writers would draw inferences from it fa vourable to the political views of their friends, and it certainly was as good a foundation for political conjecture as some reports were. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not have been more sn'rprized if he had seen his venerable prede cessor in the room, when he saw the company as sembled at the Ship. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON spoke little, ate little, and drank less. The wines, which were of the finest quality, were Champagne, Mozelle, Sauterne, Claret, and Burgundy. At a little after nine o'clock the company re-em- • balked at the Stairs, and proceeded to Whitehall in • their barges. There were, between boatmen and servants, about 110 pert,ons. The Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Doke and Duchess of SA XE WEIMA R, and Prince WILLIAM. and Princess LOUISA Of WEIMAR, Cou n t and Countess 111uNstra, Captain and Miss FITZCLAREXCE, embarked at eleven o'clock yesterday miming, at the Whitehal Stairs, on board the Trinity barge, and pro ceeded to the Thames Tunnel, where Captain Woon)tottr, the Deputy Master of the Trinity House, attended the party during their inspection of this extraordinary under taking. From the Tunnel the party crossed the river in the barge to the St. Katherine Docks, which having viewed, they next proceeded to the Trinity House, on Tower-hill. The Royal and distinguished party returned to the residence of the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, at five o'clock in the afternoon.
