HORRID MURDER AT.ABTHOR-PE;NRA-R TOWCESTER, OF A 11 7 9.11 AN BY HER HUSBAND, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. (Abridged from the Noithampton Free Press of this day.) The scene of this dreadful murder was at Abthimpe, a village about three miles from Towcester. On Tuesday evening, the inhabitants of the town of Towcester, and the sutrounding villages, were thrown into . the greatest consternation and alarm, by a report that a labourer named John Horne, residing at Abthorpe, had inhumanly mur dered his wife, and afterwards cut his own throat. It appears that he was a man of an extremely irritable tem per, and subject to the most ungovernable fits of passion. The deceased was in the habit of visiting a neighbour, which induced a jealousy on the part of her husband. But according to the prevailing opinion of her neighbours, it was more from the effect of ill treatment, than a desire to gossip, that she was induced to leave her home. All speak highly in her praise, as an industrious and careful woman. Frequent bickerings of late have been manifested between the deceased and her husband, and on the morning of the mur der, while she was sweeping the hearth the brush was acci dentally burn', and with a horrid oath the husband swore she would ruin him. In consequence of his threats, the unfortunate woman considered her life in danger, and leaving her home, sought shelter in a neighbour's house, where she remain rd during the day. Upon the husband leaving his work, in the afternoon, he visited his wife. and after endeavouring to persuade her once more to come home, which she refused, he put his rims round her neck and kissed her, which apparent token of affection was in stantly followed by the pepetration of the horrid deed. The wretched man drew forth a razor, and nearly severed her head from her body, after which he cut his own throat ; and the two with an infant which had been sitting upon the lop of the wife, fell upon the floorlogether. Mr. P.rker, surgeon, of Towcester, who was sent for to the deceased, found it impossible to afford her any assistance as the wounds had caused instant death. The surgeon then turned his attention to the wounds of the hus band, which he carefully and very judiciously cloied : and although for some time it was believed he could not survive, in the coulee of Wednesday, he rallied con siderably, on proper restoratives being applied, and at the termination of the inquest, was able to hear the evi dence which had been taken, read over, and made several remarks ; sometimes corroborating, at other times denying the minor details, not affecting the evidence of the wit nesses; but of the clear and indubitable proof of his guilt, there was not entertained a shadow of doubt. On Wed nesday morning, an inquest was held on the unfortunate woman, whose name was Anne Horne. The deceased was wrapped in a sheet, on one side of the room, and at the distance of not more tha❑ a yard, on ,a straw bed, lay the miserable perpetrator of the murder and attempted suicide. The first witness called was— John S. Hindes, who was sworn, and stated—l am constable at Abthorpe ; I knew Ann Horne, the deceased, for some years;_ she has been married seven years.. I also know her husband, Jobn Home; he is a labourer, and they have two children. On Tuesday, Millis Stokes came to me, and told me that Horne bad threatened to murder his wife, and wished rile to go to his house, which I did immediately, in company with `Mr. Pinkard, ore of the overseers. I producerl my staff, and desired him to keep the peace. I told him what I bad beard about his threatening his wife, and be replied that he would murder her if she entered the house dgain.

I turned round and saw my brother and his wife fall together, but did not Ste how tie wounds were given. I think he never had any occasion to complain of his wife. Horne, wife of the last witness, examined— About the middle of the day, yesterday, I went with my husband into John Horne's house, at Abthorpe; and we drank tea together. After tea ray brother left, but soon returned, and we all went to Stokes's house. My brother asked me to lock his door, and he tried to persuade his wife en go home and he would use her well. William Stokes ihaol lighted a candle, and we were all going together, when I beard a scuffle, and deceased cried out " Oh !" hate the blood flow from her as she fell, with the child in her arms. There was blood also from my brother's neck, but I don't kriow how the wounds were given. Mr. Parker, surgeon, of Towcester, was then swore, and deposed as follows-1 was called on Tuesday last, the ?9th inst. I arrived at the house in about 20 minutes, and found Ann Horne stretched upon the floor, quite dead. She must have been dead half an hour before I saw her. Upon examination I found a very extensive wound in the throat ; it must have been six-inches in length,- and up wards of an inch in depth. The oesophagus, tracher, and carotid arteries were completely divided, and, doubtless, instant death must have ensued. I afterwards directed my attention to John Horne, who was supported in a sitting posture, with his head reclining upon the knees of came person in the room, and to all appearance he was lifeless, Upon examination, however, I found that the trachea had not been injured, and that he was still breath ing, with great difficulty. After securing the bleeding ,vessels, I next had the man placed on• a mattress, and piade use of stimulating application, until re-action came np,. He soon afterwards became perfectly sensible, and remains so up to the present time. Ido not think it likely the man can live many days, though recovery is not impossible. After the witnesses had been examined, the Jury again went to the house where Horne and the body of his wife were lying. We were present during this interview, and Horne ap- peared to he entirely unmoved at the dreadful catastrophe, of which be was the wretched author. His wife appeared to have been, when alive, rather a gtiodslooking young woman ; and independently of the wound, the features ex hibited in death a, remarkably placid appearance. The wretched man seemed to be about twenty-seven years of age, and the deceased was three or four years younger. The Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder," against John Horne. Immediately on Horne's recovery lie will be removed to the gaol of this county, to take his trial at the next Assizes. FRIDAY (YESTERDAY) AFTERNOON, 5 O'CLOCK. The murderer is getting better of his wounds,*and has all the symptoms of recovering. The body of the unfortunate wife was interred, attended by a numerous concourse of spectators, this after noon, in the churchyard. The murderer, i t i s expected, will be removed to tl e county gaol in the beginning of next week. The calendar at the Assizes will be a catalogue of heavy crimes indeed. Several of our contemporaries have lately published ac counts of the military forces of Russia, which are erro neous; we therefore extract the following statements from a note, communicated by M. Hunt, continuator of the work of the celebrated Maltebrun, entitled Precis de Geographic Universelle. They. are taken from vol. 6 of the new edition of that work, which will shortly ap pear. It has bt en said that recruiting in Russia was con fined to slaves or serfs. This is an error, arising out of the fact that foreigners vikiting Russia often confound do. mestic slavery—to which 1,500,000 males are subject.:— with political slavery, which comprehends 14,000,000 of peasants of both sexes, subject to an annual tax to the land-owners to whom they belong. These peasants, with those belonging to the Crown, form a population of 15,180,000 individuals. It is a very important fact to know that Russia, looked upon as a country of serfs, com prises in her European dominions, exclusively of the king dom of Poland, above 20,000,000 of free individuals, as will be shown by the following statement : 1. Clergy, nobility, and retired soldiersynot subject to taxes 1,250,000 2. Burgesses, Odnow•ortses, freed peasants, 3.

EAST INDIA PAPERS. (From the East India Gazette.) The Bombay Gazette states that a letter has been re ceived there from Persia, which announces that Prince Abbas 3liizt has ordered 30,000 men to march upon Herat, and that this movement is only preparatory to an advance upon India in conjunction with Russia. The march on Herat is conformable with previous information, but that any hostile measure is at present contemplated against India we do not believe. The next general war in Europe in which England and Russia will take opposite sides will be the signal for the invasion of India, and then Russia will find the advantage of the feelers she is now putting forth—the posts she is now securing.—Sept. 11.

There has been no direct communication from Lieutenant Burnes and Dr. Gerard lately,—that is, since they left Cabul ; but from other quarters we hear that on their arrival at Kuln4 they were detained by that ruthless chief lleer Mured Beg, of Kundas—the same who intercepted and so much annoyed Moorcroft. His object was to exact contributions from Lieutenant Burnes's party, and be would not release them until their friend Jebbar Khan, of Cabul, interceded in their favour.

THE RAJAH OF BURDWAN'S SHRADDA•-From a letter pub!isliel in the Philanthropist, we learn that at the shrad da of the late Rajah, the multitudes of men, women, and children, which for some time past had been pouring in from the country were, previous to the distribution of the gifts, pent up like sheep in folds night and day ; the pour wretches were so closely pent that their heads resembled a vast pavement of round black stones. Many mothers on the occasion were delivered of children, and the scene is described as very melancholy. The gifts were of various value, according to the rank or caste of the expectants, from the towering elephant, the palanquin, and bedstead, to the humble dolee of a few annas. About two lakhs of rupees were expended on the occasion. It is supposed that 1,300,000 people were assembled. Through the judicious and humane arrangement of the Magistrate, no accident or disturbance of any kind occurred, and the multitude ham already nearly disappeared for their homes, in peace. S Mnachu r Durpun. AIALDA. The commerciAl residency at 11ialda has been closed, as being more expensive than productive. By closing factories which produce little or nothing the entire product of the lion. Company's commercial agencies will be much more considerable. The abandonment of the factory at Malda forcibly suggests to the mind the mutability of all earthly prospects. Forty years ago it was one of the most flourishing ;n India, as its old flag-staff and battery of guns intended to protect the-large property it con tained will attest. in so short a space of time has its commercial value fallen Iv; low as to occasion its being aban doned. The following little anecdote will convey to our readers some idea of the extent of business formerly tran sacted at Maids. The late Charles Grant, Esq., the lead ing member of the Court of Directors, was for a long time the commercial resident at Malda, where, in addition to a liberal salary, he received a considerable commission on all the articles purchased by him for the Company. On making up his accounts at the end of two or three succes sive years, he found that the sum which became due to him was very great, and that he was, in fact, making a large fortune very rapidly. Being a man of the. most scrupulous integrity, he sent all his books down to the Governor-General in Calcutta (we believe the late Lord Cot nwallis), and begged that they might be very carefully examined, as he was making money so fast that he sus pected he was not coming by it honestly, though he could discover no error in his accounts. The Governor-Gene ral returned the books to him unexamined, and begged him to he quite at ease on the subject, adding that he wished all the servants of the Hon. Company w ere equally scrupulous.—Sumachur Durpun. SCIENCE AND ART. CANAL NAVIGATION. (From the Notional Standard.) So little do we hear or 'earl ce the internal navigation of this country, that it would almost deem as I f our nume rous, and, in some instances, splendid canals, had fallen into desuetude ; so much attention is bestowed, at present, on the extraordinary velocity of railway travelling, and of the facility this mode of locomotion affords for the transit of goods, that one might imagine the perfect realization of the fabled " age of iron ;" and that the " groaning earth" was doomed to submit to the uninterrupted embraces of a universal chemin de fer. But this apparent forgetfulness is only indulged by the surface of society ; by those who are too easily led away by specious statements, and startling effects ; not such effects as are consequent upon well understood causes, hut such as are theatrical in their operation, and enthral reason by amazement. Men of practical information have looked more steadily at the subject, and have studied not only the effect produced, but the cost of that effect, and have very generally reserved the result of their inquiries for some sober moments, when the intoxication of evane. scent success had aubsided. Is that moment arrived? We answer, yes! and- we put forth our first article under the title of " Canal Navi gation," more for the purpose of stimulating the develop ment of the opinions, founded upon practical observation, by the most active engineers of the day, than for the vain pleasure of setting up any editorial dictum of our own. Not that we are unprepared, or even disinclined, to speak out; but because, on a subject of so much importance, we would rather be aiding than leading ; and it is with this view, that we declare our concurrence in the opinion ex pressed by Mr. Alexander Gordon, in the third number of his " Journal of Elementary Locomotion." Mr. Gordon says, " Too hasty assumptions of facts, or rather calculations, made from a few imperfectly-observed phenomena, have, in the case of canal navigation, led men of science into labyrinths of error; one of the conse quences of which has been a detrimental depression of canal property, on the one hand, and a wild and ruinous investment of capital in general railway communication, on the other. These circumetances make a correct inves tigation of the comparativermerits of these two modes of inland transport essentially desirable." The assumptions of facts alluded to by Mr. Gordon, were, first, that the resistance offered by the water to a boat or vessel, would increase in a ratio equal to the square of the velocity; second, that it was impractica ble to produce a profitable increase of speed on canals, be yond four, or four and a half miles per hour ; and tbird, that, could higher velocities . be profitably attained, the surge occasioned by the boat, would overflow and destroy the banks of the canal. And in juxtaposition with these presumed dreadvantageettihle:ffifficelti..V in canal naviga tion, was p l ace d she enormous stated profits of railroad transport- That the first position,, as to the power required to produce increased velocity is correct, suppos ing the bort to be eritirAy immersed, or sunk in the water,. we have little doubt ; the experiments gone into originally by Condorcet, -D'Alembert, Donut, and others, of the French Acaderiiy of Sciences, and re oentJy on the English Grand Junction Canal, by Messrs. Palmer, Barlow, Dunkin, Bevau, and Chapman, are con clusive on this .point; but the result is no criterion by ,which to ascertain the resiatancesoffeerairby the Bete to any thing moving almost or quite um) its sur%ce. Be cause, if the boat be so formed, as that the greater por tiorint the water, or all that site displaces. be caused to pass under her bottom, increased velocity will tend to di• minisither draught of water so much, that.-at the highest speed, she may be said almost to skim upon the water ; in which ease,whilet she displaces a much smaller quan tity of water than when impelled at a slower rate, the water she so displaces has, perhaps, proportionately a lets obstructive effect. The laws of dynamic*, as applied to this part of the subject, have afforded Mr. Gordon some very apt illustrations in " his Journal of Elemetatiry Loco. motion," to which we bee our readers to refer, as to an au thority upon which much reliance may be placed. The experiments of Mr. Graham, on the Paisley canal, completely upset the second and third of the assumed ob jections; for their result, confirmed by subsequent expe rience, shows that " two horses on the Paisley canal can drag, with ease, a passage-ho it, with her complement of from severity-five to ninety passengers, at the rate of ten miles an hour, while it would kill them, or even double the number of horses, if.they attempted to drag that boat along the canal at the rate of six miles an hour. It would be much easier to draw the boat at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, than at the lower velocity of six miles. These facts have been proved and exhibited on various ether canals." He says, also, " A speed of ten miles an hour has, for the last two years, been maintained in the carriage of pas sengers on one of the narrowest, shallowest, awl most curved canals in Scotland, without raising a ripple on the banks, even where the vessel carried upwards of 100 passengers, or as many as are carried in a tra n of coaches on the Liverpool and Manchester railway. And the ex pense or cost of obtaining this speed is so trilling . , that the fares per mile are, in these quick boats, just one half and ore third of the tares in the railway coaches; while, at these low fares, the profits are such as have in duced the boat proprietors to quidruple the number of boats on the canal." If, then, the profits on the railway transit of passen gers be even as great as they are stated to be, they prove no argument for the disuse of can ils, which, with good management, may be made so much more profi able; and it, as we suspect will be found to be the case, the startling expense of locomotive engines, and the rapid displace ment of the embankment materia, should exceed the cal culations of the shareholders, a very few years will pro duce a complete revolution in public opinion, and raise the value of canal property in a ratio exceeding its present depreciation. Connected with this subject, a series of experiments have been made, in the last three weeks, at the National Gallery of Practical Science, in Adelaide-street, by Mr. John Macneill, the assistant engineer on the London and Holyhead-road, under the direction of Mr. Telford. The result of these experiments we shall lay before our readers in a future number ; but we must express our regret that they did not extend to a comparison of the different velo cities to be obtained with boats of the same capacity, but varying in form. The National Standard may boast of having among its subscribers, many engineers of eminence in the profession, and a goodly number of gentlemen interested in canal property ; and of these we ask, why do you not offer a premium for the best constructed boat, or model made to s..ale, of given length, breadth, and depth, and capable of accommodating a stated number of passengers, or of stow ing away goods to a certain tonnage ? If this were dune, we are convinced that there would be plenty of competi tion, and certain that the progress of science, and the interest of the public generally, would derive from it per manent benefit.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sfa,—ln this age of improvement and march of intel lect, every thing which conduces to its perfection becomes a desideratum, and among the many improvements of this vast metropolis, the New London bridge is not the least with its confluence of new roads and elegant buildings. I have often thought the Monument may he put to a much better use than handing down a legend of nonsense from the olden time. If a clock, to be lit up like that of St. Bride's Church, in Fleet-street, were placed at a proper height in its front aspect, it would be of the greatest utility as well as ornament. I merely throw out this hint to the city authorities, hoping they will give it due consideration. [Our correspondent's ideas are certainly of an elevated description; but we really think the plan he suggests, if practicable, would furnish the metropolis with a unique ornament : as an improvement upon it, we would suggest that the clock should have four faces.--En.] FRAME WORK-KNITTERS' MEETING. (From the NottinDhant Review.) On Monday afternoon, a numerous meeting of the de legates of the cotton framework-knitters of the three counties of Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, was held at the George and Dragon, Long-row, Nottingham (pursuant to advertisement in the Review), to take into consideration the state of trade. Mr. Joseph Grainger, of Arnold, was called to the chair. Mr. SEARS and Mr. KERRY, of helper, proposed the first resolution, to the folowing effect :- Ist. " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the forma tion of a trace union is necessary for the support of the frame work-knitting trade, because of its utility, first, as to strength —secondly, as a defence—and thirdly, as a reserve for support." The latter, in enforcing this resolution, made some excellent and pertinent remarks, on the importance of union in respect to their individual privileges, seeing that it had been able to effect so much in a national and political point of view; he also dwelt upon the increased demand likely to result from a more liberal commercial policy of the Reformed Parliament. The resolution, after some other speakers had been heard, was carried unani mously, as were also those afterwards proposed. The next resolution was 2d. "That the statement of 1828 be the object contended for —first, because it is regainable as our just rights, never having bcen repealed—secondly, because we have as good a hope to expect something from the new representatives as the hosiers have—and thirdly, from the present prospects of the trade." In support of this proposition, the delegate from Crich (whose name has escaped us) urged upon the meeting the necessity of perseverance and of firmness, and in seconding it, Mr. LILLY, from Sheepshead, instanced the advance which the framework-knitters of Earl Shilton had already obtained by union. It was next resolved, 3d. "That a deputation be appointed from this meeting to wait upon the hosiers, and that the statement of be asked for; and also, that such cautious steps be taken as shall be ne cessary." The names of those regularly deputed from district meetings were then called, and the delegates made their re port as to whether unions had been formed, which was the case in some places; in others they were forming, and in but very few did it appear that their importance had not been fully appreciated. It was also stated that the desire to demand the price of 1828 was universal. Delegates were in attendance from Arnold, Caythorpe, Burton Joyce, Kimberley, Lowdham, Hucknall Tot kard, Carlton, Sutton B9nington, B tsford, and Oxton, in this county ; from Belper, Crich, Altreton, Cotmanhay, Ilkeston, South Wingfield, Little Eaton and Duffield, Hursley Woodhouse and Smalley, and from South Nor manton in Derbyshire; and from Sheepsbead and Earl Shilnn, in Leicestershire. A deputation of three members was then chosen to solicit the return to the statement of 1828, and the following revolution was passed 4th. aThat these resolutions be now printed, and that the deputation do wait upon the hosiers next Monday, February 4th, and following days." It was agreed thiit another general meeting should be held, to receive the answer of the deputation, on that day fortnight, Monday, Feb. 11. The following letter caused particular attention : Hinckley, Jan. 26, 1833. Sir,—l have taken the liberty to acquaint you of the advance that has taken place in this town and its vicinity, in the coarse cotton branch :-3d. per dozen on hose and half-hose in and under 3s. per dozen ; 6d. per dozen on all sorts of hose and half hose, above 3s. per dozen, under twenty.four gage ; in and above twenty-four gage, 6d. per dozen, on boys' and girls' hose; 6d. per dozen on women's ; and 6d per dozen on half-hose ; Is. per dozen on men's, in twenty-four gage upwards. The above advance was paid universally to-day (Saturday), and whatever advance may be obtained at Nottingham, the manufacturers of this town are willing to pay. As you are not cioctuaintorl with the prices in the coarse cotton branch, I have made the following remarks ; Leads. Price. In 24 gage... 106 110 114 We consider that we are something better off, as respects leads and price, than you are in general. You cannot establish your prices without union, therefore I would recOrornend that unions be formed in each town in the three counties, for the protection of labour; in this town we have a fund of nearly 400/., there fore we are enabled to prevent any infringement being made on the prices paid by the principal manufacturers. I am, &c. THOMAS IRELAND. VOLUNTARY CHURCH ASSOCIATION.- On Tuesday night, a numerous meeting of this Society was held in Broughton-place Chapel, for the purpose of dis seminating information on the principles they held, and the means by which they proposed to carry their object into effect. The Chapel was crowded in every part, and on the platform we observed many of the more distin guished among our Dissenting ministers together with several laymen. About half-past six the meeting was constituted by the Rev. Dr. PEDDIK being called to the Chair, amidst the applause of the meeting. Tile Rev. Mr. CLEGISORN luoing opened the meeting by prayer, many able speeche s were delivered, and the assembly did not bleak up till a late hour.—Edinburgli Evening Courant. A gallant son of Mars and a youthful lass were on Saturday last about to be united, at a 'wish church not 100 miles from Chippenham, in the bands of Hymen, and the ceremony had proceeded even as far as placing the ring on the finger of the bride, when grand papa appeared, and forbade any further proceeding until the arrival of the mother of the fair one. Mother arrived on Wedne,day, withdrew her objections, and the cere mony was completed.—Devizes Gazette. ROYAL BON MOT.—At a late soiree at the Pavilion, a round game was introduced. A certain gal lant Admiral, being a loser, begged for change for a sove reign, having no silver in his purse. "Go to Prince TALLEY," said an illustrious personage (the French Am bassador being of the party) ; "he is the only person to CHANGE A SOVEREIGN." BURNING SPRINGS.—Ten miles south of Fort Plain, on the Erie Canal, 42 miles west of Shenec lady, there is a spring of water which has all the appear. ance of a stream of living fire, even by daylight. The ' flames are caused by the evolution from the water of large quantities of sulphuretted hydrogen gas, which instantly ignites on coining into contact with the open air. There is a similar spring on the Canada side of the Niagara. RUMOURED DEATH OF THE SHERIFF OF WATERFORD.—We are most happy to state that the ru mour of the death of JOIIN O'SHEE, E-1., of Garden morris, High Sheriff of the county of Waterford, occa sioned by injuries received by a fall from his horse, as stated in the Tipperary Free Press,, is not correct. Some time since, however, Mr. O'SIrEE, when out bunt ing, had occasion very severely to punish his horse, and on returning home, no sooner had Mr. O'SHEE alighted from him than the horse, with most •xtraordtnary vindic tiveness, more resembling the sagacity of an elephant than that of any other animal, rushed with distended jaws at Mr. O'SHEE, and seized him by the head; fortunately, however, a strong hunting -cap saved him from more than a few slight bruises, and he escaped into a house close by. The enraged animal then turned his fury upon the whipper-in of Mr. O'SHEE, who rushed up to save his master; be seized him in his teeth, broke his arm, dashed him upon the ground, and pawed and trampled him. Not satisfied with having thus wreaked his vengeance upon the poor whipper-in, he then turned upon THONIAS WHITE, El., one of Mr. O'SIIEE's friends, who had been bunting with him, and who fortunately had been well mounted, and had not as yet quitted his saddle. Mr. WrirrE set spurs to flank, and fled at full speed, pursued, to the astonishment of all beholders, by the enraged ani mal. Mr. WHITE, being a very superior horseman, led an admirable steeple chase across the country of upwards of two miles : but finding his pursuer gain ground upon him, had barely time to save himself and horse in a farm. house, and secure the door. The furious animal rushed full tilt against the door, and made several attempts to get it open, but was at length secured. We understand that whenever Mr. O'SFIEE now enters the stable, the animal becomes outrageous, and makes strenuous efforts to attack him,.;.--Steacares Dispatch. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.
