LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY ZSTRACTS,FROM T 111: 31141LNING PATTIIS. August 13. •[ M ORNING POST. I KING.7---It is yet uncertain whether his iNlaj l itsty will immediately tA•oceed to Ireland and retire privately to the Phcenix Park, or whether he will remain" a few days at Holyhead. We' have seen 'a letter of the 10th from the latter pace, which contains interesting particulars of the .manner in which his Majesty received the iateiligence of the death of -his Royal 'Consort. Be was much affected at its suddenness, and im mediately went ' below deck, where he had. re mained ever since. By his orders the Royal yacht and all the vessels in attendance instantly strack their colours half-mast high, and every sign I of feSraity disappeared. It was expected that the :Marquis of Londonderry (who was on board the Royal yacht when the dispatchea arrived) would rail for Howth as soon as the wind became fair ; but nothing was said about thesailing of his Majesty. The accounts -previously received stated that the wha hitd re-embarked on hoard . his Royal yaant on Wednesday afternoon, and intended to sail in the course of the night for Dublin,.in or der that he' might arrive in the city . early the fol lo'ing day, was detained in Holyhead, Harbour by high -and •adverse winds. It continued to blow hard the whole of Thursday, and the sea beiug in consequence very heavy, • it was deemed prudent for the Royal squadron to remain at ;richer in the harbour. In the mean time, the King's Messenger, with the dispatch of the Queen's death, arrived at Holyhead, and the in telligence was communicated to his Majesty. The Royal. determination was to proceed, as soon as the weather would permit, to Dublin, and land there as privately as possible. At six o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the storm having somewhat abated, although the sea was still rough, his Ma jesty's yacht, accompanied by the Royal convoy, was getting ready to sail, and would in a short time be under weigh. The King, it was expected, would have to remain at sea, tacking for some time, until a fairl .. wind arose to carry him:to Dublin. On his arrival in that .City, it was re ported that he would immediately proceed to the Vice-regal Lodge in the Park, and stay there secluded until he received information that the Queen's remains had left this country for the Continent. By some mistake it was imagined at Holyhead that Lord Liverpool had arrived there and obtained a private audience of the King. It is well known that his Lordship is still in London. [TH'E TIMES.] We understand that Mr. Brougham and Mr. Denman have both arrived in town from their respective circuits, (whither they had gone in the hope of her Majesty's recovery ;) and that fley, together with Dr. Lushington and Mr. Wilde, intend to pay the last sad token of re spect to their illustrious mistress, by accompa nying her remains to the tomb of her ancestors. [HORNING CHRONICLE.] In consequence of the winds having become Toni, ri30 . .1 yacht was obliged come to au anchor in Holyhead Roads, where it remained when the Messenger sent with an account of the Queen's death set out on his return with. dispatches from Lord -Londonderry. It is understood that the iqtelligerice will not retain his Majesty in this country, and that it is his intention to sail with the: first fair wind for Dublin. Frederick of Prussia and the Emperor Joseph used frequently to travel through their dominions incopiito, or with few attendants, in order.that they might not Le deceived as to the real state of things.by the pre paretions made in expectation of their visits. The forms of this country would not perhaps admit of any thing approaching to this. The gaiety and festivity which' his Majesty will bo compelled to witness, may be supposed by some inimical to his obtaining correct: views of the real state of Ire land ; and it is on the impression which the fruits Of the misgovernment of that unfortunate country may make on his royal mind, that all hopes of benefit from the' visit must be chiefly founded. We donpt, however, entertain any, apprehension on this account. Ile.inust be a cunning magician in deed who can transform the misery of.lreland into COnefort and prosperity at the approach of his Ma jesty. This finest part of the British dominions, with respect. to natural advantages, exhibits .signs of wretchedness unequalled in any other part of Europe ; and wherever he turns, this wretchedness must stare him in the face. We have lately been told by a•subject of his Danish Majesty, that visits to England are greatly dis .couraged 'by the Ministers or that Sovereign, from an idea that it is impossible to "see England without beCoMing . dissatisfied with Denrnark.--,- The same objection . could. not., we apprehend, be made in fairness to a visit to the Sifter Island. [NEW , • By the latest accounts from Holyhead, the remained on board hi 4 yacht there, on Friday evening, wind-bound: - His Majesty's fixed intention mas to sail as' soon as the wind should become fair—land in the most private. innintei -in frelaud—proceed quietly to the Phoenix Park, and there remain some days Seclusion. We observed, in odd last, that if the: arrangements first proposed for his .Majesty's Sailing from Holyhead, at fiinr•o'dock on W.ed-, nesday afternoon, were followed, the news of the Queen's death could tint reach him until after his arrival in Ireland. The state of the Wind,' iiow ever, and other obstacles, ~p revented the pro posed plan from being adheredo, and the ßoyal • yacht, with his -Maiesty..f. on board, was lying in Holyh6d roads waiting for a wind when Lack, the iness(ilger, arrived between•one and two ; o'clock on Thursday after- Doan, with the dispatches announcing the Queen's demise.. His Majesty could not: hesitate .a 'me -ment to determine, on paying that attention to decorum, which was so congenial with his own sentiments. Painful- a% it muit'hitve•been to him to disappoint the erkthusiastic eagerness of his Irish subjects; 'and to crd6liil6l.llCublic reception, for which thee had made. saek'n•xtensive and 7 ; .sgiendi.d.,prOaaratious : --y - et . he Well knew that they: 1 - voQtivnter into the . delicacy of his feel ., ina-s • and applaud a decent respect . for the illus trious .deCedso.—The King's public entry, as Soverei4n, into the Irish Capital is, however, we trust, only delayed. The warm interest which all descriptions of persons have taken in a cere mony so novel and so gratifying, must not be suffered to evaporate in final disappointment ; but after the last melanCholy duties have been paid to the 'remains of the Queen, we trust that the King will proceed in the same state to his Castle in Dublin, which it was intended. he should have observed on his landing in Ireland. — The Queen's funeral procession is expected to move to-morrow from Brandenburgh House. Go vernment has never deviated froth the intention of complying, as nearly as possible, with her Ma jesty's express wishes, - namely—that her body should not be opened—that it should be transfer red to Brunswick for burial, and that it should be removed. within three days from the time of death, or as- shortly . as might be afterward!.. This matter was somewhat misrepresented in - a para graph which we ..qUoted - on .Saturday from an •Evening Paper; and which purported to state what passed at the Home Office between Mr. ilobhouse, the Under Secretary of State, and Sir George Nayler, respecting the removal of the Queen's body to Harwich. It was not proposed that the preparations should be suspended 'Until the King should decide on the place of interment; for no. idea was ever 'entertained that her Ma jesty's wi'sbes In this respect would not be held sacred. - . [BRITISH PRESS.] Austria is now in undisputed 'possession of the whole peninsula of Italy, and of the island of Sicily. This possession is guaranteed to her for at least six years—a very large portion of the most valuable part of Italy acknowledges the Emperor Francis as its master, and with regard to the remainder, of which the possession is qua lified, Austria might retain it for many years in despite of the "rest of Europe. The occupc. , tion. of Rome and its dominions is not limited, except ing by the will of the contracting parties, and as the Convention has originated in a principle of political expediency, its future operation must be governed by political expediency likewise, and it will always be in the power of Austria to create the semblance of a necessity for protracting the military possession of a . country which the House of Hapsburg has for centuries made the principal object of its ambition.—A war be tween Russia and Turkey is still a matter of speculation, but in the accounts received from Odessa respecting the sufferings of the un fortunate Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, there seems to be a melancholy reality which pleads warmly in favour of an immediate rupture with the Ottoman Government. The Turks, by way of at once expressing their contempt and hatred of Christianity, and of gratifying their thirst of blood, have begun to crucify the Greeks, many of whom, the most wealthy and distin guished of their nation, have already undergone this dreadful death. The wives and children of these sufferers are said to have been burned by slow fires, but this is too horrible for belief. We have no doubt, however, that the persecution of the Greeks is still pursued with unrelenting fury in Constantinople. HIS MAJESTY. DUBLIN, August 8. It was only at a late hour, last night, that the people of this City were apprised of his Majesty's safe arrival at Holyhead,. and we are not yet cer tain as to the day when we may have the hap- . piness of greeting him on Irish ground. Various rumours are afloat, all tending to distract the public • mind at thiS anxious moment.• Some will have it, that his Majesty is to come incog. others, that he is to remain at the Marquis ofi Anglesea's. for a week or a fortnight, should . the Queen's illness terminate in her decease ; while those who appear to be better informed, assert with confidence, that he will not prolong his stay on the other side of the water beyond a day or two longer. A meeting of the Corporation for w, private purpose was . thisday held at the Assem- ' bly House in William-street, and the Lord Mayor informed some of the Members that .his Majesty was now at the residence of the Marquis of An glesea. The two Princes Esterhazy are here with a numerous suite, and have engaged no less than 30 apartments at the Hibernian Hotel. Lord Sidmouth went over this morning in the Light ning steam packet to see his Majesty; but all the. other principal official characters remain here. The Master of the Horse, the Duke of. Montrose,. rode through Parliament-street this morning, ac companied by several persons of distinction. The influx of people from all parts cannot be described. Cheapside, which is perhaps the most crowded and bustlirig part of London, never exhibited such a dense mass of pedestrians as Dame-street haS done for some days past. The arrangements for, the procession are under the immediate direction' of Sir William lietham, who pays the"nabst polite: attention to the Gentlernetr connected with the London Press. An express from Lord Sid mouth is expected to arrive about eleven o'clock ; announcing the day when his Majesty Will enter the harbour of Dunleary. Public anxiety and impatience are worked up to the highest pitch. The Catholics are determined to make a great display_ on the day .they - are to go up with. their Addres3. It is said that they will asseinhle in Sackville.:street to the numbel of a hundred, thousand, and form a grand procession to the Castle. • - The more opulent among them willgo in their own carriages,,and the others will .fallow on foot:". • Hill Of flOwth, near Dublin, One o'Clock, • Wednesday, Aug. 8.

CIIELMSFORD, AUGUST 10. MURDER BY POISON. James Emery was indicted for the wilful mur der of Sarah King, on the. 29th of May last, at White Nottley, in this county, by administering to her a quantity of arsenic, of which she died in a few hours.—This case excited, uncommon in terest from the atrocity of its circumstances—the murder of an unhappy girl who had been seduced and become pregnant by the prisoner.—Mr. KNox and Mr. BROD RICK conducted the prose cution. 1 : he facts proved in evidence werethese:— The prisoner, a well-looking man about 25 years of age, a labourer in the employment of a gentleman in the adjoining parish to White Nottley, had paid hiS addresses to the deceased, a young woman under 20 ; and having seduced her, she be came pregnant. The deceased lived with her father and some younger brothers and sisters; in a small cottage, consisting of three apartments. About a, week before the transaction in ques tion, the prisoner came to see the deceased, and they conversed together at the back of the house. A young sister of the deceased knowing her situation, listened to the conversation. She heard the deceased say to the prisoner,. " Emery,' I am with child by you." The prisoner said, "If you like any body better than me, you may swear the child to him." The, deceased said, " You know I have not been with any other person but yourself; and therefore I shall swear it to you." They parted apparently very good friends. On the 2 , ith of MaY, in the evening, about 6 o'clock, the prisoner .came again; and conveedevith the de. - ceased in the. parlour. Their conversation was overheard by the younger sister, who listened at the door. When the prisoner went in, he said to the deceased, " How do you do ?" She said, "I am worse." He replied, "0 ! you are worse, are you ? I have brought you a box of pills, and I will give you a pound note if you will take them." The deceased said she would take them. 'He left her a box of pills containing about twelve, and went away. About eight o'clock the deceased went to bed, haying eaten a hearty supper of boiled cabbage._ Before going to bed she took seven of the pills. In the course of the night she awoke in great torture, and was violently sick. The pain increased so much, that Ore sent her little sister to a neighbouring .public-house to get her a half-quartern of gin, which she took in some warm water. This aggravated her pain. , She then told her sister to take two phials which had contained some stuff of the prisoner's prescribing, and which she had previously taken,' and the pill box, and hide them in alien at the back of the house, and at the same tune said, " Why should Emery be hanged;—Emery will' be hanged.—They will hang Emery," or words to that effect. Her pain continuing to increase, she sent her sister to get some beer. The girl went, and when she returned in about ten minutes, she found the .deceased a corpse. On opening her body, it was found that her death was p roduced by arsenic. The remainder of the pills which she ad not taken, on being analyzed, were found to contain six grains of arsenic each ; and in the opinion of the surgeon, one half of a single pill would have produced death. The rather of the deceased, who was a labounng man, was not aware of the courtship of his daughter with the prisoner; and at the time of her death, was gone to his daily lahour. As soon as the girl's death became talked of, the prisoner absconded with a few of his clothes, selling the remainder to a fellow servant. It was proved that, about a fortnight before the girl died, he had been inquir ing of a blacksmith in the neighbourhood what was the mode of procuring a miscarriage ; but the blacksmith refused to tell him. He then went to Chelmsford, and bought half an ounce of nux vomica, and the same quantity of arsenic of a horse-doctor, under pretence that he wanted tddestroy the rats and mice which infested his room, and gnawed his clothes hutch, and his wear ing apparel. This in fact turned out by the evidence of fellow-servant to be false ; for there were no rats or mice in his room, neither had his clothes hutch nor wearing apparel been injured. It was impossible to ascertain what had been in the bottles which the prisoner had Sent to the deceased • but it appeared that she had been takiiig the contents for about a week before .her death. 'When the prisoner was told of the girl's death, he said " Then I shall be had up before the ma gistrates." Ile admitted to his fellow-servant that he had taken a bottle of stuff to the deceased. On a subsequent occasion, ' after lie had absconded, lie said to one of the witnesses exa mined, at a public-house in Roxivell parish," I dare say you have heard what I have come away - tor. I dare say you heard that I have come away on account of that cursed wench who was poisoned at Nottley." To another witness he said he had got the stuff for the girl, but that he did not give it her with an intention to do her any injury. Mr. Tomkin, a surgeon, and Mr. Baker, an operative thy, mist, were of opinion that the deceased came to her death by arsenic. The prisoner being called upon for his defence, said—" I have nothing to say. lam quite innocent of what thl girl says. I did not do it." - Mr. — Justice Bunnouon charged the jury in point of law, that if they should be of opinion that the prisoner administered the poison to the deceased , though it was not done with intent to kill or murder her, but with a, view of procuring miscarriage, yet inasmuch as that would be an illegal act, the prisoner must take the consequence, if death ensued ; and there was no ma terial distinction whether the woman was quick with child or not. If the prisoner had administered the poison he was guilty of murder. The Jury immediately found the prisoner GUILTY. The Learned Judge then passed sentence of death, and he was ordered for execution on Monday next (this day). The prisoner was resigned to his fate, and appeared very little affected. MURDER BY STRANGULATION. [Before the Honourable Mr. Baron WooD.l William Akers was indicted for the wilful murder of Pa tience Ellis, single woman, by strangling her with a pocket handkerchief, at Wickham Bishops, in this county, on the 19th of June. The prosecution' was conducted by Mr. WALFORD and Mr. BRomucx, and the defence by the ComsioN'SER GEANT and Mr. CURWOOD. _ _ _ It appeared in evidence, that the deceased, who was about thirty-five years of age, had' for Many years been a helpless cripple, incapable of doing- any thing to esSist . herself. She lived with her mother. The prisoner lodged in the seine house, in which there was also another lodger. About six weeks before the 19th of June, the day the - deceased died, she had been poorly, and confined to her bed, but was on that day observed to be better. On that day about two o'clock the deceased and the prisoner were left alone : shortly after - - wards he charged a girl, the grand-datighter of the deceased's mother, who alsolived in the lie.eise, not to disturb the deceased, and left the house. After some interval, the grand-daughter went into the room of the deceased, and found her dead. She gaVe an alarm, upon which the prisoner andother persons canie in and examined the body, which exhibited various markS 'of violence, which were then thought to be effects of mortification. The prisoner soon after went into the village, and communi cated the death of the deceased, and although not requested to do so, bespoke a coffin for her, giving the size ofit, and desiring that no one should measure or examine the body. At his request the Corpse was t wo days tifierieatils'etielaed; acid screwed down the coffin. At the request of the grand-daughter, the coffin was opened again, kit soon fastened dbwn. Shortly after it . was. said-that the deceased had been pregnant,' in conse= quence of which the body was examined again by a medical man, who declared that she probably died of.dropsy. In aday or two subsequently; in consequence of reports of a disagfeeable nature becoming .prevalent, the body was again. examined by another surgeon ' who was of opinion that she had died by, vin- - lence, and that . she was eight months gone with child. &Co roner's Inquest was then summoned, the prisbner saying that he should like td be on the jury. He afterwards declared that the deceesed had hung herself, that he had found her suspended from the tester of the bed, and had with his own hands cut her down. It appeared that tile tester of the bed could not possibly have supported, the weight of the deceased. The ncxt.day the prisoner was apprehended, upon which lie acknowledged that he was the father of the child of which the deceased 17t1'S pregnant, and produced a silk handkerchief with which he declared she had destroyed herself. This was the substance of the evidence. A great number of witnesses were called to, roye the different circumstances upon which the charge against the-prisoner rested. The prisoner in his defence said he was innocent, and that ' his motive for concealing the manner. of the deceased's ;death was to prevent her being buried in the highway for suicide. -„ One witness, who had knOwn the prisoher 'for 20 years, gave him a , e (rood character for humanity and kindness of disposition. The learned Judge summed up the evidence for the Jury with minuteness and precison. He desired them to take the whole case into. theirconsideration, and if they had any doubts, to let those doubts operate.in favour of the prisoner. The Jury inunediately found the primmer G UILTY, and sentence of heath beingpeeised upon him, hi was ordered for execution on Monday (this day.) . Thg prisoner was perfectly composed during the whole trial, which lasted from nine in the morning until half past three . in the 'afterabon. COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS, DURING THE LAST WEEK.

Sin—Ac an ect of cominon justice, I beg the - favour o 7 Your. enabling me thus immediately to r&pel one of the most deli'- . beratefy false and Malignant libels that ever issued from the press against an individual-1 mean, Sir, the paragraph which appeared some day's ago in several of the London Journals, and which purported to relate an occurrence, Of certainly a most unpleasant-nature, which took place in my house at Boulogne sur-Mer, last week. What did then occur was this : One of my servants, in a .state of frenzy, from inebriety and passion, after insulting me in the most unprovoked 'and grOS manner, and without even having been first struck by me, ?brew me down, and threatened to kill me, in the presence of another servant, who otr,r,d no assistance. Finding myself so situ ated,and being almost rethausted by the violentana atrocious at tack upon my.person, and havini , no other mea-ls of disengag ing myself from a struggle which threatened my life, in defence of which alone I was reluctantly obliged to avail myself of a dirk cane which I accidentally had in my hand (having in vain attempted to disengage myself by using the cane itself). At this crisis the interposition of. my friends .fortunately relieved me from my perilous situation, by removing the man by force, and administering, by my directions,- every care that kindness, could suggest to counteract any bad. effects from the injuries which he is now fully sensible his own conduct provoked and justified. In regard, Sir, -to the allusions made to my domestic con cerns and arran;..,cments in the paragraph in question, they are all as deliberately and-diabolically false as the other calumni ous assertions ; and the moment the forms of law will admit, I shall bring the publisher of this libel into Court, where he will have every opportunity of justifyingit ; and where, if I fail to discover the base and cowardly Author of so cruel and unpro voked a calumny, it will be for a Jury of ..my own country to establish, whether the British Press is to be considered a public blessing or a ptiv:!te •curse ; or whether it is to- be henceforth the avowed anti licensed channel of conveying the poisoned Shafts of the base anti vindietive calumniator to the bosoms of private families,. and of thereby violating with impunity' every feeling and sanctuary of domestic life. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, J. 'WEBSTER WEDDERBURNE. P. S. The insatiate and brutal appetite for slander evinced by some members •of the press against any one whose public principles are at variance with their own is, indeed, incredible; and the security of every thing most estimable in private_life: demands some check upon so -.shameful an abuse of its noblest: privileges.
