HORRIBLE MURD SAT StAN:, ----.EIZI . A? HALL, NE YMONDHAM. • -/---/ :.; `• ---.--- • C On Tuesday evening Stanfield, near Wymondbapiwiiiri — '"-:., allanrmceoclusebqyuetnlicee i s n u te p l e li r g in en te c n e de th n a t t ya M ri r n . the leen& of the most atrocious murders ever per haled .1 S: ti r.i ~5.7 in Norfolk, or, perhaps, in any other English county. Soon after eight o'clock the town of Wymondham was 444 # g ße t c on o w rd e e n r t . . and his son had been shot dead. A telegraphic mes jbeyrnithYe sage to that effect was sent to Norwich police-station, with a request that a Mr. Rush should be apprehended. . next train in quest of Mr. Rush, and Inspectors Minns, Thompson, and Amiss, and four constables, proceeded in post-chaises to the hall. They arrived there b a out one ..- o'clock in the morning, and found the inmates in a state of great alarm. Constable Pout, of the rural force, was .. there. They saw the bodies of Mr. Jermy and his son, and ascertained that Mrs. Jer m y an d b er maid, Eliza: - bath Chesteney, had been sh o t at and severely wounded. ' - Before giviug the particulars of this horrible affair it will be necessary to state the construction of Stanfield Hall. It is a large building in the Norman style of architecture, with a moat before it and an extensive park round it. Of late years a wing has been added, corn- • prising the servants' . apartments. In front of the main building there is, a porch ,entrance, leading into a spa eious hall, from which there is a passage to the dining - and drawing rooms on the left. To th e r i g ht of the porch there is an entrance and passage for the servants, leading into their compartment of the building. This passage and the *ceding one run front to back. A passage runs from left to right across the centre of the building, intersecting the servants' passage and leading to the dining and drawing-rooms. The per petrators of these murders were well acquainted with the premises, as will appear from what tollows:—Mr. Jermy, Mr. Jermy, jun., and Mrs. Jermy dined together on Tuesday • evening, little expecting any murderous intentions towards them. The butler, two female servants, and a man servant were on the premises. Two female servants had gone to Wymond• ham, and had returned to the park, b ut were not in the hall before eight o'clock. About half-past eight o'clock, Mr. Jermy," sen., left the dining-room, and walked through the hall to the front of the building. On re turning, just as he entered the porch, a man wrapped up in a cloak, and wearing a mask, fired a pistol at him, and the shot lodged in the tipper part of his left breast, close to the shoulder.. He fell down and instantly expired, but owing to what followed was not removed for nearly 'an . hour. The assassin went to the servants' entrance to the right, passed through the passage 'from the front, turned to the left . into the passage across the building, and met the but. ler. With . a pistol in ea c h h an d , h e beckoned tbe_butloc to go back. Being greatly alarmed at ; the- appa- ' ,' rition of a man in 4 mask presenting two pistols, the bet- ler retired into his pantry. The assassin proceeded onwards to the turn of the passage, where there was a dark recess and a door opening into another passage, leading to the back of the - premises. He appears to have arrived in the recess just as Mr. Jenny, jun., alarmed at the report of a pistol, left the dining-room. The , ' young gentlemen went td the door opening into the back 1 ) passage, and there the man fired .at him and shot him through the right b reas t. H e instantly fell - down dead. - ,r Mrs. Jermy, hearing a noise, 'went to th e same place, and while standing over the lifeless body of her husband , the same diabolical assassin fired a pistol at her. The shot shivered one of her arms and wounded her in the breast. Her maid, more courageous than the other servants, went to the same spot to see what was the matter, and while supporting her mistress, the murderer discharged a pistol at her and severely wounded her in' the thigh. The female servants, thinking they should he all -Murdered; hid themselves. The man servant, who was then in the stables, hearing all this firing, and supposing that the house, was . attacked by a number of ruffians, swam across the-moat - and set. of to Wymondham, where he gave the alarm .which caused the telegraphic message to be sent to Norwich poliee-stWon. The murderer had, therefore, no difficulty in making his escape. The two women-servants who had gone to Wymondham returned With two young men, and while they stood outside of the moat talking they heard the . report of a pistol 'and saw the flash. They thought Mr. _ Jenny, jun., was trying to _fh . ghten them, and they.' went to the lodg e . • Constable Pout and the city police remained in the hall for some time, and found. the' ramrod of a pistol. About two o'clock in the morning all the police went to watch the house of Mr. Rush, at Hethel. They re mained all night - watching" the 'premises. " -- About- five- - o'clock they saw Mr. Rush strike a light,and heard him ring for his servant. . They then entered. the premises, and took Mr. Rush into 'custody.- The.house was searched, and a cloak' quite damp was found'upon Mr. Rush's bed. Corisiable Morter took the cloak into his possession, and Pout took charge' of a pair of Mr. Rush's boots, which were - quite wet.: The ponce also took charge of a .couple . of. loaded fo wling - pieces, and two powder -flasks. . Mr. flasks Rush, who* is a farmer and . - auctioneer, was brought befo re M r . Cairn, the magis trate, examined, and remanded toWymondham Bridelell, . - On Wedneiday great excitement prevailed among the residents in the neighbourhood of the hall. Numbers of gentlemen arrived there to make inquiries, and to be sure that such horrible murders had really been com mitted. Many viewed the bodies, which presented a ghastly spectacle. The expression of the countenances showed that the unfortunate gentlemen had died in great agony. There was a trail of blood from the porch to the rooms where they were lying. ' The coroners of the county were sent for, but they were nowhere to be found. Mr. Press, the coroner for the district, had gone to London, and Mr. Pilgrim was not in the city. In the ftfternoon th. Hon. anci- „ Ltair.:R... Wilson, Mr. Cann, Mr-__ Parker, and other magistrates, h e ld a pri va t e investiga tion, an di examined all the servants on the premises. Mr. Rush's housekeeper was sent for and examined, and the statements of the wounded women were taken, as they appeared to be in a dangerous condition. Mr. Nichols, surgeon of Norwich, attended . them. Mr. Jermy, besides beiag a county magistrate and recorder of the city, was chairman and director of the Norwich Union Fire and Life-office. His son was a county magistrate. At present suspicion rests only on the party now in • custody, in consequence of Mr. Jermy and Mr. Rush having had legal disputes.

Yesterday being the 30th of November, was the last day allowed for depositing plans and secti ons o f new lines for which it i s intened to apply to Parliament during the ensuing session for Acts. Unlike former years, very few deposits were made, and those only, in most cases, for extension of powers and alteration of pre vious Acts. One or two of the older companies have given the required notices for the construction of branches, but the whole will not amount in length to 40 miles, showing a wonderful decrease on former years. From 1831 to 1840 the number of Railway Acts passed was 299, authorising the construction of about 3,000 miles of railway. In 1141, 19 Acts, authorising 15 miles; 1842, 22 Acts and 67 miles; in 1843, 24 Acts passed, for constructing 91 miles; in 1844, 48 Acts re ceived the royal assent, by which 797 miles of railway were authorised to be made; in 1846, 272 Acts passed, for 4,790 miles; in 1847, 184 Acts passed, empowering the construction of 1,663 miles; and in 1848, 83 Acts were passed, for 300 miles of railway. The total number of Acts passed since 1831 has been, therefore, 1,071, and the total number of miles authorised to be made is 13,600, of which, up to the present time, about 4,400 have been opened, leaving 9,200 either partially constructed or not yet begun. The following is a correct list of the companies who have given the requisite notices of their intention to ap ply for the several powers contained in their Bills: AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, BOSTON, AND EASTERN UNION JUNCTION.—For powers to transfer the under taking by lease, sale, or amalgamation, to Midland, Eastern Counties, or Great Northern Railway.

NORTH WALES.--PROPOSED BANGOR AND CARNAR VON RAILWAT.—The proposed line between these towns has been abandoned for the present, though a staff of surveyors have completed the survey. This is owing, it is asserted, to the opposition of a landowner, through a portion of Whose property it was necessary that the pro jected works should pass. This opposition is deemed by the inhabitants a vexatious one, the more especially so when contrasted with the handsome manner in which another landowner has come forward and munificently offered, free of cost, the whole portion of his land which the line would traverse. The undertaking, if carried into effect, would prove of the utmost benefit, not only to the towns forming the termini, but also to the adja cent ones of Pwllhell, Tre Madoc, Port Madoc, Pesti niog, &c., and, indeed - , the whole of Merionethshire. DUBLIN AND BELFAST JIINCTION.—FIRST TRIAL TRIP.—On Wednesday evening the first trial trip, under the personal inspection of Sir John Macneil, was made on that part bf a the line between Drogheda and Dundalk. The trip, was performed in fifty-eight minutes, including two, stoppages. Sir John was ac -companied by the worthy contractors, Messrs. Killen and Modre,' a number of engineers. On arriving at the Drogheda terminus Sir John was received with hearty cheers by the assembled people. Thomas Sim- cocks, Esq., mayor of Drogheda, some of the town coun-- cil, and otnei gentlemen of the town interested in the success of the undertaking, were in attendance awaiting the arrival of the train. The state of the line reflects great credit on Messrs. Moore and Killen, the contrac tors, as it was pronounced to be as firm and as even as some lines which have been at work for many years. Sir John and Lady Macneil set off for Dublin by the five o'clock train.

Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosiag harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 29.—Sir Ralph Lcpes has accepted the invitation of the electors, and has now placed him self at the service of the county. The lion. Baronet ex presses his determination to oppose Catholic endowment, and he then proceeds to say—Although I feel that this subject is the one at the present moment most vitally affecting both our interests and our feelings, yet there are other subjects on which the electors ought to under stand the views and opinions of any gentleman invited to become their representative. I will, therefore, shortly state to you my opinion that protection should be given to all branches of native industry as fully as, under the circumstances in which the country is now placed, it is possible to preserve that prin ciple; and that I am strongly impressel with the neces sity, in the present financially - embarrsssed state of the country, of enforcing the most rigid economy in all branches of the public service; aceompanied by a re duction of our establishments as far as is consistent with maintaining them on a footing becoming the honour and dignity of this great country. The Honourable Baronet also says that he participates in the general desire that the administration of the poor-law should bo watched and considered, with a view, if possible, of introducing such improvements as may render it less burdensome to the rate-payers, without interfering with the due provision for the calls of humanity, from which none of us would desire to shrink. Mr. Kekewich awaits a re quisition, without which he has stated that he shall not come forward. EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED. WYMONDHAM, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The suspected murderer, James Bloomfield Rush, underwent an exa mination this morning at Wymondham House of Cor rection, before the Hon. and Rev. R. Wilson and Mr. W. R. Cave, county magistrates. Reporters were per mitted to be present, but for obvious reasons at the pre sent stage of the proceedings were desirednot:to take-notes of the evidence. It may, however, be stated, that the apprehension of Rush was the result of his identification by the lady's maid of Mrs. Jermy, who positively swore that he was the party who fired at herself and her un fortunate mistress. To enable his identification to be effected Rush was last night taken to the bedside of the young woman. FATHER WINTER. A TALE. (From the "Miscellany of Imagination."

PART I. treats of the anatomy and physiology of the re-productive organs, and is illustrated by Six Coloured Engravings. PART IL treats of the consequences resulting from excessiveindul gence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity. It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings. PART 111. treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abase of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated by Seventeen Coloured Engravings. PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system. This important part of the Work should be read by every Young Man entering into life. PART Y. is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its duties. The causes of unproductive union are also considered, and the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into.

From fifteea to sixteen witnesses were examined, and a strong case of circumstantial evidence was made out. it was shown distinctly that Rush was absent from his farm at the period of the murders being committed. The prisoner endeavoured to rebut this statement, but failed in his appeal to two wit nesses upon this point. He exhibited the coolest indif ference during the commencement of the proceedings, and cross-examined the witnesses with some tact, but towards the latter portion of the examination he ap peared to undergo much mental suffering. The magis trates determined on adjourning the examination, and the prisoner thereupon applied to be liberated on bail. The request was refused, and the prisoner was removed warmly protesting his innocence. Rush appears to be 'about 45 years of age, and is stoutly made. He was attired very respectably. The awful occurrence has excited the utmost horror and consternation throughout the county, and the park and grounds of Stanfield-hall have been visited since the oc currence by a vast concourse of persons. The grounds have been taken possession of by the constabulary force under the personal superintendence of Colonel Oaks, the chief constable of the county police.

Gd. 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until It receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fhifilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all.

BEDFORD-SQUAIts, LONDON. ALLEGED FASHIONABLE SWINDLING.--A person has been apprehended in Edinburgh, on a charge of forgery, who during the ast few months mixed freely in the higher circles of society there, and lived in a fashionable and expensive style at one of the principal hotels in the city. It appears that he had assumed high military rank, and had extensively patronised various establishments, chiefly clothiers and mercers, from whom he obtained a large supply of articles, at first by paying cash down for the goods he purchased; but having suc ceeded in establishing his credit, he then transacted business upon a more enlarged scale, and suddenly left the city without settling the numerous claims against him. The immediate cause of his abrupt departure was, however, the discovery of a forgery of which he had been guilty, for a limited sum, the person whose name he em ployed being at present on service in India. Re was traced to Hull, and having been apprehended there through a telegraphic message transmitted thither by the superintendent of police here, he has been conveyed to the gaol in Edinburgh. ENDOWMENT OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST ITOOD.—A large meeting of Dissenting clergy men and laymen was held in Glasgow, on Tuesday, for the purpose of opposing the proposed endowment of the. Roman Catholic priesthood, and also in opposition to existing endowments of every description. Mr. A. Hastie, M.P. for the city, was called to the chair. A. series of resolu tions were proposed by the Rev. Drs. Eadie, Virardlaw, Taylor, Anderson, and other gentlemen, in lengthened speeches, in which they commented in the strongest terms upon the opinions of the Church of Rome. Reso lutions were unanimously passed against end owments of every kind, but especially against that likely to be pro posed for the support of the Roman Catholic priests in Ireland. It was resolved that a memorial founded on these resolutions should be transmitteC, to Government.

Th e testimonies which H pour in from all parts of the - United Kingdom, prove that astonishing cures result from their use. Mr. A dams, of Cheddeston, near Bungay, writes that he suffered for seven years from indigestion, which brought on extreme debility, but that the use of the Pills has wrought a com plete cure. Mr. Peter Tivier, of 6, Stephen-street, Li verpool, says, " I have been cured by one box of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills of rheumatism and eruptions of the skin." Robert Woaster, of High Wycombe, bears testi mony that for ten years he was afflicted with scrofula in his leg and knee, and that for five-and-twenty weeks ho kept his bed; by perseverance, however, in the use of this wonderful medicine, he is now quite well, and works for fourteen hours a day. Sold in boxes at 1.. lid.; 2s. 9d.; or 4s. 6d. each, by all Medicine Venders. To prevent imposition by spurious imitators, observe that Mr. Kaye's coat of arms and a fac-simile of his signature are printed on the directions wrapped round each box.

At twelve o'clock at noon this day (Thursday) Mr. Edward Press, one of the coroners for the county of Norfolk, held an inquest upon the bodies of Mr. Isaa c Jermy and his son. The jury was composed of the yeomanry and other respectable inhabitants of the dis trict. It was stated that in the early art of the day th e coroner rorwaruen to the accused (Hush) a list of the jury summoned to attend, with a v i ew of ascertaining if he objected to any of them. The list was returned with fourThnea deceasedmes e ra erased. Mr. Isaac Jermy, was de scribed as 69 years of age, and his son, M r. Isaac Jermy, The j u u r n y . , havingas 30. been sworn, p rocee d e d to v i ew the remains of the unfortunate deceased, which lay in the drawing-room of Stanfield hall, and presented a melan choly sight. Both bodies were stretched on the carpet in the apartment , an d death appar e ntly w ith b o th o f them b a d been instantaneous. Mr. Jenny, sen., had been shot by the assassin in the left side, the ball passing through the heart. The son received the ball in his right side, when it passed through his body. The coroner and jury were shown by the domestics the mode and place in which the murders had been committed. The murderer, there is no doubt, in tended to assassinate the whole family, and he succeeded in shooting at them all except a daughter of the younger Mr. Jermy, a beautiful child, three years of age, who escaped. It is supposed the murderer had been for some time past watching an opportunity to effect his mur derous design, and that ho had seen the entire family, with the exception of Mr. Jermy, senior, in the drawing room, the windows of which fronted, and were almost on a level with the lawn. We have already stared that the elder Mr. Jermy was shot in the grounds. His son was met by the assassin at the porch of the principal entrance, and ran round to another entrahce adjacent to the ser vants' office, which was generally open, and by which he entered into the body of the house, when, meeting a ith the vill fin again, he was shot dead. The murderer then proceeded into the drawing-room, expecting to meet with Mrs. Jenny and htr daughte4 but they had for some minutes previously retired into the dining ro , n 3. Hearing the second report of fit e-arms, Mrs. Ji:rtny ran out and saw her husband lying on the floor. The assassin firul at both mother and child, but providentially with little effect. The terrified lady ran to the corpse of her husband, and was in act of kneeling to ascertain his real condition, when the wretch fired another pistol or gun, which wounded the lady's maid. Mrs. Jermy was then hasten ing to take refuge up stairs, when she was shot at and wounded. The ruffian then left the house, first throwing down a paper, on which was written—" There are seven of us, all armed, two inside and five out. You servants keep in the servants'-hall.
