The polling proceeds only languidly to-day, but haw hitherto been more favourable to Mr. Palmer than ant• friend of Reform can wish. He is at this moment 43 s-head on this day's poll. Nobody is astonished at this ; for it is well known that he is this day making an ex traordinary effort to regain the ground which he lost yesterday. . A curious circumstance happened this morning, which has caused much annoyance to the friends of Mr. Palmer, and much amusement to those of Mr. Ilallett. Dr. Gail ford, the Dean of Christ Church, appeared at one of the booths and claimed to vote—an objection was taken to his vote, and it was necessarily carried before the Assessor. The Dean then applied to have the argument upon it taken out of its turn, alleging the urgency of his professional duties, and the necessity of his immediate return to Oxford to discharge them. Mr. Bartlett, as the agent of Mr. Hallett, objected to this application, stating that there were many poor men now detained in Abingdon before the Assessor, whose desire to return home to earn food fur their families was quail . ) , strong with that of the Rev. Dean, and whose claim to attention, from their poverty, was infinitely superior to that of a dignified and beneficed clergyman. It was, however, finally arranged that the decision on the Dean's vote should be taken out of its turn. The decision was unfavourable to his Reverence, and he retired, showing very little of that Christian patience which it is his duty to inculcate. A clodhopper, who was standing by, said he looked as savage as if he had been disappointed in a bishopric. I have just learned, from very respectable authority, that the Princess Augusta and the small fry of the Castle have been exercising all their influence in the neighbour hood of Windsor, to obtain votes for Palmer, and to neu tralize those which would in all probability be given to Hallett. The friends of Mr. Hallett have just issued a placard to the following effect :—" Courage and perse verance, Reformers, and you will yet be able to beat Pal mer and the parsons, in spite of the treachery of the neutrals." A short time after five o'clock, the poll was declared to be— Palmer Hallett making the gross poll stand thus— _ . Palmer Hallett Majority for Mr. Palmer -1 92 Mr. PAL3IER then came forward, amid a mixture of ap plause and disapprobation, to address the freeholders. There was one subject to which he must of necessity allude ; for when placards were issued to attract the attention of spectators, or to turn the votes of the electors, he was sure that all would agree with him in saying that they ought to be consistent with truth, especially if they referred to the conduct of the candidate when in Parlia ment. Now he had seen a placard, in which it was stated that he had voted in favour of the Duke of Newcastle, and had supported the motion for transferring the franchise of East Retford to the hundred of Bassetlaw, at a period when the large town of Birmingham was panting for representation. Now that was in the teeth of his assertion solemnly made upon the hustings. Whoever had written that placard had been guilty of a most wilful misrepresentation.—(Cheers and hisses.) His vote was recorded, and it might be seen from the papers of the day, that he had voted in favour of transferring the fran chise of East Retford to the town of Birmingham. Who ever he might be who had put pen to that paper, and bad attempted thus knowingly to deceive the honest freeholders of Berkshire, to that man he would give a contradiction in terms as short and comprehensive as any which the English language afforded.—(Cheers.) There was another subject on which he wished to say a word— anti that was slavery. From the speech - of his Hon. Friend Mr. Marsh, one might be led to suppose that in what be said on a former evening he had been drawing a contrast between Mr. Hallett and himself. Mr. MAnsta disclaimed any such intention. Mr. PALMER continued. That was one of the most important subjects that could come under the con sideration of Parliament. No man that trod on Eng lish ground could bear the name of slavery as an abstract question. It was, however, a great and im portant subject, and ought therefore to be left in the hands of the Government. If he should have the honour to be returned to Parliament as their representative, he would undertake to do that which Mr. Hallett had pro mised to do—namlv, to give it the most serious delibera tion, and to take into most earnest consideration every measure that was likely to ameliorate the condition of the slave, and bring about his emancipation, as soon as was consistent with the interests of the country, of the colonies, and even of the slaves themselves.--(Cheers.) With regard to the Political Unions he would say nothing upon them that day. Mr. lIALLETT congratulated the freeholders on the Reform Bill having passed the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) They had heard so much of Reform lately, that he would not say much on the subject. If the new Bill did away with the land-tax assessment, it would be a most satis factory Bill, and would get rid of much unpleasant conduct and controversy.—(Cheers.) It was shocking to see the work those assessments made. His Hon. Opponent had said that he (Mr. Hallet►) had a most disastrous skirmish before the fight, and that his troops had not come up to the field. Now his friends were not bound to consult Mr. Palmer as to the time in which he was to bring up his troops. He (Mr. Hallett) could not say when his troops would come up. He had no agents, but Mr. Palmer had the advantage of a large number. Mr. Palmer had got fifty-six, if he (Mr. Hallett) was rightly informed. [Mr. PALMER—." I hope I have not."]—(A laugh.) He (Mr. Hallett) had not got one. Mr. ELLIOT could not help suspecting that the leaders of their opponent's garrison had been playing a ruse de guerre ; that they had been parading their regiments twice—that their men had shot their bolts, (and every body knew the class of men whose bolt was shot the soonest)—that they had discharged their bulletts, and that all which glittered among them was not gold.—(Cheering and laughter.) He would now return to the old simile of the hare and the greyhound. The hare had had some turns and some doubles ; but the best double of all was the doubling of her majority. He had no doubt, that after a few more such turns, they would find the bare at last safe in her seat.—(Cheers and laughter.) The Rev. Mr. Nicironsox said that he rose for the pur pose of contradicting a statement which had appeared in the columns of some of the newspapers, and to which the name of Mr. Duffield was affixed. He would put that state ment into his hands, being confident that he (Mr. Duf field) could never have used the language imputed to him—[Here Mr. Nicholson handed the Times of Monday last to Mr. Duffield.]—First, however, he must ask whether be was the person to whom Mr. Duffield had alluded. 31r. DUFFIELD.-Yes, you are undoubtedly the second person to whom I alluded. Mr. DUFFIELD took the Times newspaper, and was reading the paragraph in question, when Mr. Nicholson told him that he had better take the paper home with him, and then they might discuss the matter to-morrow. After some discussion, however, it was agreed that the para graph in question should be read, which was as follows : 't He knew of another instance of clerical interference : that clergyman wrote to two voters, who had formerly been favourable to Reform, but who on this occasion had promised to vote for Mr. Palmer. He wrote to those freeholders urging them to vote for Mr. Hallett, and said, that if they did not, they must never expect the blessing of God to fall either upon themselves or upon their country." Mr. DUFFIELD—In defence of what lie then said the i;est thing he could do would be, to produce the letter it self. He had been told by the individual from whom he had the facts, that if lie (Mr. Duffield) wanted the letter, it would be forthcoming. He could not say what the precise words were which he had uttered. Mr. MARSH next came forward, and was received with universal cheering. He spoke to the following effect : chough I cannot congratulate you on the state of this day's poll, I can congratulate you on this point—that the new Bill, the great charter of British liberty, is now vir ally passed.—(Great cheering.) It now remains for us to see whether the new charter which we have just gained will prove a blessing or a curse to the country. That de pends upon you, and I tell you once for all, that in pro portion as you exercise the suffrage gained by your right arm and your meritorious exertions, will it be a blessing or a curse upon you. The elective franchise is one of the most important rights that a freeman can possess. It is the only real security that he possesses—...it is that secu ity which enables the man to defend himself from " th, ippressor's wrong, and the proud man's contumely."— Great cheering.) If you exercise that right as you ought •0 exercise it, then it will prove a blessing to you and ; but if you consider it as something which !iven to you for your private benefit, and not for do benefit of your country—if you make it a con venience to compliment a Noble Lord, a great squire, ar a dignified parson, then I say to you, that this Bill of Reform was uncalled for, and that it will prove a curse to you instead of a blessing. I hope, however, better things of the people of England. All men have their hobbies, and I, gentlemen, have mine. I have ridden it now for the last thirty years, and it is this—l have always insisted on the right of the middling classes to exercise the elective franchise, unbought, unbiassed, and uncontrolled.—(Cheers.) Now it remains for you to put this great engine of your strength to a proper use, to exercise it with sound discretion, impartial justice, and undeviating honesty and integrity. It is in your hands now, it was formerly in the possession of the borough mongers ; it is now, however, again, I thank God fur it, in your own care and keeping. You are now erect, mind you do not slip; your are now freemen, act as becomes the character ; do credit to the Bill which has made you so, or else you will be considered as the most despicable beings that were ever animated by the breath of life.—.(Cheers.) I shall now, with your permission, say a little about the church. I recollect here a passage from a favourite author of mine, Hudibras.—(Cheers and laughter.) You will recollect that when the widow treated Hudibras with a masquerade of devils, rather an inconvenient masquerade for poor Hudibras, one of the questions which they asked him after they had got him at their mercy was this : " What makes a church a den of thieves ?" To which Hudibras immediately replied— " A dean and chapter and white sleeves." What articles they stole at that period he was not ac quainted with ; but if he was not misinformed, there was a certain dean, not living a hundred miles from Oxford, who this morning wanted to steal a vote for this countj. On his going to the booth, our inspector, who is a shrewd fellow, seeing him with a shovel hat on, said, " Oh, what a queer hat you have got—(Loud laughter)-1 doubt much whether there is a vote under it." Ile therefore began to examine into the matter, and then he found that "it was no go."—(Much laughter.) It has been said that there is now no further necessity for the political unions. From that opinion I differ. I trust that the unions will be continued some time longer. Oh, glorious unions ! (Cheering.) Oh! excellent and enviable Attwood ! (Vast applause.) When Tory lords, and Tory 'squires, and Tory parsons, shall be dead, rotten, and forgotten— (Much cheering)—your memory shall be embalmed in the heart of every true patriot, and children yet unborn shall lisp your praise.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) Three cheers were then given for the Sheriff, and the Court was adjourned. 'FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Courrier Francais of Sunday.) Whilst Chouannerie is so benignly qualified in an official report by those who see in an ordinary tumult the sub version of France and the ruin of the Government— whilst the Moniteur already endeavours to bring forward the insurrection which is not yet put down as an ebul lition of no consequence—it will not be without utility to show all the seriousness, all the bearings of these events, and to prove that the Government, which is still better in formed upon the subject than we are, acts against its own conviction when it speaks in so light a tone. Thanks to our correspondent at Nantes, we are enabled to lay be fore the public some authentic documents, the truth of which will not be denied. Our correspondent writes to us as follows : It is very fortunate that the apathy of Government is not shared by all those who exercise authority in its name, and that we have still patriots in our ranks and in public employments. General Dermoncourt, who has been but a short time amongst us, displays, under existing circum stances, a zeal and an activity which cannot be too highly praised. At all hours of the day and night he is on duty, visiting the posts, going through the country, and order ing or leading expeditions against the Chouans and their al,ettors. It is he who has put an end to the inexcusable oversights or instances of neglect, thinking it his duty to seize at their chateaus the real chiefs of the revolt, and the documents which reveal the vast conspiracy that has enveloped us. He has himself led some of those expe ditions with the most ample success. His example animated the National Guards, who march with indefati gable ardour wherever his presence summons them. I was in one of the columns which took possession of a chateau where an important capture was expected, and that hope was not disappointed. Papers of the highest importance were seized. I have see❑ them and have read them, and the visit lasted long enough to enable me to copy some of them before they were delivered up to the commandant of the column. I send you these copies, the authenticity of which will not be disputed ; the originals must be now in the hands of the Government. You will see that the Duchess de Berri, who has been sought for in the south, is, in fact, in this part of the kingdom ; that it is she who orders and directs the civil war ; that she has her Generals and her troops • that her Generals correspond with each other, and raise the country; that the insurrec tion which has broken out is only an incomplete move ment, and is almost put an end to in consequence of the counter orders which have been issued ; that the movement projected for the 24th of May is postponed till the 3d and 4th of June for all France ; and that, if it should he again postponed, all the elements are prepared for a gene ral rising at a fit opportunity ; lastly, that the Govern ment, which is ignorant of it, or affects to despise these conspiracies, is a blind and incapable Government; and that if it does not hasten to change its system, it has no thing to expect but an overthrow. The following are the documents : COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL LETTERS OF THE DUCHESS OF BERRI. No. 1.

You will recollect, Sir, the contents of your despatches; it was them, as well as the duty which I considered as sacred, that determined me to trust myself to the acknowledged loyalty of these provinces. If I issued orders for taking up arms the 24th of this month, it was certainly with your participation ; it was after positive information received from the South, and several points of France. I shall regard my cause as for ever lost if I am obliged to fly from this country, and I shall be reduced to that if arms are not taken up immediately. I should, then, have no other resource than to go in despair far from France, after having reckoned too much upon the promises of those for whom I would have braved every thing to fulfil mine. I confess that, deprived of the advice of the Marshal, it would be most painful to me to adopt such a resolution without him ; but I have the assurance that he will be at his post, if he is not already. " I should be desirous to supply the want of his counsels by yours, but time fails me, and I have made an appeal to your devotion and your zeal. The order issued throughout France to take up anns the 24th of this month, remains, therefore, im perative in the whole of the West. " It remains for me now, Sir, to call your attention to the army; it is that must Insure our success. It is, therefore, a duty to employ simultaneously all the means which can possibly suggest themselves. You should, therefore, take care to cir culate, two days before hand, my Proclamations and my Ordi nances ; you will not adopt any measures in hostility against it, until you have employed, in vain, every measure of conciliation. " Such arc my positive orders. " • " P.S. I request you to make known, as soon as possible, this letter to those who have signed that which you sent to me. I have no need, M. le Marquis, to tell you how much I reckon upon your devotion, of which you have already given so many proofs, and which becomes so necessary at this decisive moment.

Awuasts, MAY 31.—The substitute of the Procureur du Roi proceeded yesterday to the chateau of M. de Gi rardin, from which he brought away a white flag that he found there. This visit, which was made with some armed men, was occasioned by information given to the authorities by the peasantry themselves, for all the country people are not Chousans. There are among them excel lent patriots, who anxiously wish for the end of the tumults and the punishment of the agitators. Beaupreau and its arrondissement are agitated, but have not risen in insurrection. The Nobles and the Clergy, in great numbers, have made incredible sacrifices to rouse the population, who hesitate, however, to commit themselves on this side. There have been three convocations, and each time they have failed. It appears that. if orders were given to act, orders were also given not to act. This conflict, these contradictions, these uncertainties, induce those who have families and property to pause. From whatever cause this delay proceeds, it gives us some respite here but we live under arms. Extract of a letter from La Fleche, May S l.—All the insurrection was prepared and raised on a grand ladder, and by an able hand. It is easy to perceive that the Chief of all this must have an extraordinary influence, which is exercised less on the peasantry than on the Nobles, who have nearly all compromised themselves. There are many who, in truth, up to the present, wished only for quiet, and who have mixed themselves in this disturbance be cause they felt themselves bound to obey a person of high influence. The authorities have grounds for believing that General Bourmont, as well as Laroche Jacquelin, is in the country. Reports, which are fir from being un worthy of credit, induce the belief that the Duchess de Berri is disguised and concealed in some chateau. The accounts are better to-day. The bands of Chousus are repulsed at all points. The two departments most disturbed are La Mayenne and La Sarthe. In every di rection the Chouans are beaten. Gen. Clouet commands in Chief; he has General M. de Pontfarcy under his orders. Clouet bas sent two expresses to the Procureur du Roi of Laval, and to the Secretary• General, who re presents the Prefect (until the arrival of M. de Jussieu,) to ask that be should give him and Pontfarcy a passport for a foreign country, and Clouet, in return, engages to make the Chouans lay down their arms. He had been told, in reply, that he has commenced the war, and that he must finish it—that he has no quarter to expect. In his official communications, Clouet takes the title of Lieut.-General, Commandant Superior of the Provinces of the West. Segni is tranquil at present. The prompt demonstration we made has silenced all this violent agita tion of late days. General Lamarque died on Friday, at eleven o'clock at night. He was 60 years of age. Maximilian Lamarque was born at St. S ever , i n 1772 ; h e entere d t h e army as a private soldier, and soon became Captain of Grenadiers in that infernal column which had at its head Latour d'Auvergne, the first grenadier of France. At 20 years of age he was Adjutant-General, and his name known to all our armies. The wars of the republic, the campaigns of Austerlitz, Tyrol, Naples, Wagram, mark his important services. Celebrated above all in Italy, by the miracle of the taking of Caprea, he was selected to proceed to reduce Calabria, and immediately after recalled to Spain, where he engaged in a contest the most obstinate and the most difficult. The fi e ,hts of Atta Julia, Tarragona, Ripouil, Col-Sacro, Baguelas, and of Salad, add to his reputation. lie did not return to France until 1814, and was not employed during the first Restoration ; but, on his return from Elba, Napoleon gave him successively the command of Paris, and of a division on the Belgian frontier, and named him, in the month of May, General-in. Chief of the army of La Vendee. On the second Restoration, Lamarque was inscribed in the list of proscription of the 24th July, 1815. After his re-entry into France in 1818, he publiibed, under the title of " Necessity of a Permanent Army," a work b ear i ng t h e i mpress o f hi g h t h oug ht, and giving ,vidence of his wise experience and his long toils. He devoted his pen to France, and during late yea rs contri i:ii:le tedarttcle o i tl s i . e patriotic journals a great numbe r of remark- The Parliamentary recess for the Whitsuntide holydays will be from Friday next to the Wednesday fol lowing only. A meeting took place on Saturday morning last, between Mr. SHEEHAN, the editor of the Comet, and Air. CORTIGAN, on the Ashborne road, about four miles 11001 Dublin. Five shots were exchanged without effect, when the police arrived, and the parties decamped. We are enabled to speak in high terms of yesterday's amuse nents ; the weather was fine, the sport abundant and good, and •he company quite as numerous as we ever expect to see on tin irst day. The racing did not terminate till half-past five o'clock, iwing to the number of heats; it suffered a slight interruption from two or three accidents, which, fortunately, were unattended with fatal results. We subjoin particulars of the running:— The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each. Mile and a quarter. Mr. Vansittart's ch. c. Rubini, 4 yrs Sir R. Dick's Miss Mary Anne, 3 yrs Mr. Watson's br. c. Mayboy, 3 yrs 3 The following also started, but were not placed ; Mr. West's Tronville, 5 yrs. ; Lord Chesterfield's Titania, 4 yrs. ; Mr. Scaith's br. c. Stainborough, 3 yrs. ; Mr. S. Day's Salute, 3 yrs. ; gr. Houldsworth's Frederica, 4 yrs. ; Lord Egremont's b. f. by Whalebone, 4 yrs. ; Mr. Monroe's Ambrosia, 3 yrs. ; and Sir G. Heathoote's Stately, 3 yrs. Betting-7 to 4 agst. Rubini, 3 to I agst. Mary Anne, and 4 to 1 agst. Ambrosia. After two false starts, Ambrosia came away in front at a rattling pace, seconded by Salute, the others keeping on the reserve to Tottenham Corner, where Salute failed in an attempt to get up, and the rest immediately after got in a cluster close at the heels of Ambrosia, Bubini and 3fayboy being immedi ately next her. Ambrosia continued in front to thetlistance, when she gave up; Rubini instantly took her place, with May boy close behind; Miss Mary Anne waiting with great patience till opposite the Stand, where she made a vigorous push for the race. She managed to pass 3layboy, but was beaten cleverly by Rubini by a length—the winner ridden by Boyce, Titania by Conelly, Mayboy by Pavis, Frederica by Darling, Trouville by Calloway, Lord Egremont's by Arnull, and the rest by lads. The Shirley Stakes of 25_ sovs each, for three-yr-old colts, and allies. One mile. Col. Peel's Archibald... 1 Mr. Dockeray's Runneymede Sir G. Heathcote's Damascus ... 3 Lord Amesbury's cby Phantom—Margaret ... 4 Mr. Forbes's Rainbow ... Betting 6 to 4 on Archibald; 4 to I against Runnymede, and 4to I agst Damascus. The latter made running at a great pace, with Margaret, well laid up, and the others two or three lengths astern. There was no change of consequence till the horses got near the distance, where Margaret and Rainbow were beaten off; Archibald and Runnymede then closed upon Damascus, and ran nearly abreast to the stand, at which point Archibald let out, was never afterwards caught, and won rather cleverly by half a length. l'he race was severe for the second place ; the winner was rode by Pavis ; Runnymede by Darling; Damascus, by Wright ; Margaret, by Chapple ; and Rainbow, by Boyce.—The pace was tremendous.

In giving a list of the horses likely to start for the Stakes, and the jockeys selected to ride, we must be understood to do so " errors excepted," especially in respect to jockeys, about whom the greatest uncertainty prevails, even amongst them selves. It is therefore by no means certain whether Darling will ride Mixbury, or Chifney Emiliana, or who, in fact, will ride them. We give only the rumoured appointments, with. out taking upon ourselves to vouch for their correctness : Mr. Gully's Margrave (S. Day), Mr. Itidsdale's Trustee (Scott), Mr. Ridsdale's St. Giles (Templeman, or G. Edwards), Mr. W. Chifney's Emiliana (S. Chifney), Lord Exeter's Beiram (Arnull), Lord Exeter's Spencer (S. Darling, or Connelly), Mr. Batson's Mixbury (S. Darling, if he is released from Spencer), Mr. Vansittart's Perion (Boyce), Lord Mount charles's Minster (unknown), Lord Chesterfield's Non Compos (unknown, but Wakefield talked of), Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Damascus (Wright), Lord Amesbury's c., out of Margaret (Macdonal), Mr. Shard's Revealer (unknown), Lord Worces ter's Haymaker (J. Day), Lord Worcester's Copper Captain (J. Robinson), one of Mr. Hunter's colts (T. Robinson), Lord Lowther's Messenger and Lazzarone (Wheatley and Chapple), Lord Langford's Roue (E. Pavis), Mr. Forth's Gratis (Forth), Lord Portarlington's Bedouim (F. Buckle), Lord Orford's Selina colt (Pavis), Mr. West's c., by Claude Loraine (Calloway). BETTING IN ST. JAMES'S. The betting up to Twelve o'clock last night was important, and effected several changes. Mixbury was backed freely, al. though it is not yet known who will ride him. Emiliana de clined two or three points, and had no backers : DERBY. 5 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Margrave 7 to 1 agst Mr. Batson's Mixbuty (taken) 8 to 1 agst Mr. Vansittart's Perion to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's Emiliana (taken) 9 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's St. Giles (taken) 10 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Trustee 16 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Beiram 18 to 1 agst Mr. Mill's Kate 20 to 1 agst Lord Mountcharles's Minster 600 to 500 Margrave agst Mixbury No others mentioned. OAKS. 5 to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's Emiliana (offered) The rest as before. THE LATE MURDER AT LEICESTER. INQUEST on the Body of Mr. JOHN PAA S. At six o'clock on Sunday evening the judicial inves tigation into the circumstances of this most horrible mur der was commenced at the sign of the Dog and Gun, in the Market-street, Leicester, before the joint Coroners for the borough, Aldermen Cooke and Yates, and a moat re spectable Jury. The Mayor and the whole of the other members of the Corporation were present. The Jury having been empanelled, proceeded to per form their first duty, of viewing the few fragments of charred and half-burnt flesh and bone, which alone re mained to give evidence of the diabolical murder that had been perpetrated. The premises are situate in a populous and respectable part of the town, and consist of a shop with a cow•house below in a small yard in Wellington street, which is closely surrounded by houses. It is clear that the murder was instantaneous ; for had the unfortu nate gentleman been able to have uttered the faintest out cry, it could not fail of being heard. On ascending into the workshop, an unsightly mass of blackened and half burnt substance, which the uninformed spectator could hardly suppose ever formed part of a human body, is presented to view. It consists only of the half-de stroyed remains of that part of the body from the bottom of the abdomen to a little below the knee joint. The parts have evidently been separated at either end with a saw. Of the legs nothing remains but scattered and calcined cinders of bone, with which the room is strewed. A great part of the flesh of the thighs is entirely destroyed, and it is evident, from a close view of their thicker parts, that collops of flesh had been cut off, for the purpose of quickening the horrible act of destruction. At the fire-place there are two iron bars placed across the top of the grate, and which appear to bave been intended as a gridiron on which to place the parts of the body of deceased. No trace of the trunk and head of the body can be found, and it is supposed that they have been carried to some distant place, and there burned or otherwise disposed of. Thomas Measures examined—ls town servant and con stable, and lives near Cook's shop in Wellington-street ; on Thursday evening an apprentice to Nokes came for him, and be accompanied him back ; the boy had told him that the neighbours thought Cook's shop was on fire ; on getting there he found a number of persons in the house of Nokes, who is the next neighbour to Cook ; Cook and his sister were present ; Nokes told witness they thought all was not right, for they had found a large fire with a piece of flesh upon it, and it was their belief, if they had not burst open the door and put the fire out, the premises would have been burnt down ; witness gave Cook into the charge of Timson, while he went to look at the premises ; he found the fire quite out, and a piece of burnt flesh on the floor, but could not tell what it was,—he rather thought it was horse flesh, and such seemed the general opinion ; on returning, he asked Cook what he knew of the fire, and of the piece of flesh upon it ; he answered it was horse flesh. Charles Wilkinson, aged 14, examined.—He lives with his mother in King-street, but during the day worked for Cook ; he was ou " liking" as an apprentice, and had been so for three-quarters of a year ; witness went to the shop on the Wednesday morning about seven o'clock. Cook came about eight o'clock, and witness continued working with his master till near ten, when a gentleman came up the stairs into the shop, and, addressing Cook, said, " good morning, Mr. Cook ;" Cook replied, " good morning, Sir." The gentleman took out a pocket-book, and asked where Mrs. Johnson lived ; Cook replied, "in Alhion • treet," and immediately afterwards turned round to wit tees, and said, " Joey, you may go home till I fetch you ;" vitness accordingly went away. The gentleman was Tressed entirely in black, bad a red face, grey whisker,. and was rather tall ; his master had never given him a ho lyday before, but he had promised him a week before thrt he would give him one about that time, as he said be going out of town. His master had in 100 cwt. of coals on the previous Saturday; Cook's brother, Michael, was in he habit of calling every Saturday; he lives at Queenho- Cough. [This place is five miles distant from Leicester.] On the preceding Saturday, Cook accompanied his brother back o Queenborough; they went in a gig belonging to Michael Cook ; witness observed, that immediately on the gentleman entering, hie master turned very pale, and on getting twine he told his mother that he thought the gentlerrrn had come to ask for money, as his master turned pale in stantly on seeing him ; one day the week before he put chased three-pennyworth of laudanum for his master, who said he wanted to try an experiment with ; the same week his master brought a hatchet to the shop, and had it ground on a stone they had there; he said he bought it o chop sticks with ; they never used sticks, either in the trade or to light the fire with, for the latter purpose they used the cuttings of the mill boards and of paper. George Cooke lives at Loughborough, and assists hi, father, who drives the Express coach between that pile,- and Manchester; the coach puts up alternately at tike King's Head and the Black Horse; on Friday morning, about half-past five o'clock, on entering the Black Horse yard, he saw a person talking to one of the stable keepers ; witness learnt from the stable-keeper that l„- hod been there some time—that he came in tired and with dirty shoes, but that he wiped -his shoes with hay ; and also oiled them, and then rested himself in the hay : he had on a blue coat with lappels, brown trousers, a black stock, and over that blue and white silk neckerchief, not hemmed ; he had largish whis kers coming dow❑ nearly to his chin, and rather lot g face ; witness entered into conversatio❑ with him, and after some time he produced a short pin, saying, " See what I found yesterday ; I have no occasion for it and don't mind selling it ;" he then pulled hi, neckerchief aside, to show he had a brooch; wi' nets finally bought it of him for two shillings ; they stopped talking for some time, and the mau pulled out a gold watch, with curb-chain, and two gold seals and a key, and said, " See what my father has pur chaied for me, he gave forty guineas for them, and I would nut take as much back for them again ; he afterwards a•ked witness if he could change a 101. or 5/. note of he Bank of England for him, and at the same time pulled out a long green silk purse, and from a roll of piper at one end took out and opened one note of etch of these values; witness observed, that at the other end of the purse there was gold of some sort, but how much he could not say; witness accompanied him to several shops, hut they did not succeed in getting change, and he finally left him in the street. Mr. R. Tibbutt is a bookseller in the Haymarket. Leicester, and was acquainted with Mr. Paas ; on Wed nesday morning, about half-post nine o'clock in the morn ing, Mr. Paas called on hint and made inquiries about the solvency of several tradesmen in the town, and among others about Cook : witness told him he knew nothing about him, and asked if he had any account against him Mr. Paas said he had, and asked where he lived, and wit ❑ess told him ; Mr. Paas then gave witness a small ac count he had against him, and said he should go round among the trade and call in again; he then went away, and called again about two o'clock; witness, after settling his account, asked him " if he had done his business to his satisfaction ?" and he replied, " pretty well, but Cook has not settled with me, and has asked me to call again in the evening;" after this conversation Mr. Paas left. It was now only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it ma determined to adjourn the proceedings to the follow ing morning. Looking to the completeness of the evi dence as to the identity of the body, and the guilt of Cook, this might appear strange ; but the fact is, that in the course of the investigation made by the Town Mr. Burbridge, new and startling facts have been elicited, and it is extremely probable that before this solemn inquiry is brought to a close, others besides Cook will be proved to have been implicated either as principals or accessories. The murder was a lung planned one. At the present time the father, two brothers and a sister of Cook are in cus tody in the town gaol ; the latter was apprehended only yesterday, while the Jury were sitting, and on beiri t brought to the entrance of the gaol, a view of which is commanded from the inquest room, she shrieked out and fainted, and it was some time before she recovered soli; ciently to be placed within the wallsof the gaol. 4.t. RECEIVED THIS DA Y. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the coroner's inquiry into the circumstances of this most dreadful of murders was re-commenced in the Town-hall, Leicester. The town-clerk, Mr. Burbridge, announced that he had received a letter from the Secretary of State, informing him that the Gazette would contain an offer of a reward of 1001. from Government, and a similar sum was offered by the relatives of the unfortunate gentleman. Every informa tion he had received tended to confirm him in his opinio❑ that they were in the right track, and it was his belief that even at that very time the man was captured. Mr. John Sawbridge is a milkman residing in Welling. ton-street, where he rents premises, of which he has un derlet a part, consisting of a shop only, over a cow-house, to Cook. The entrance to this is through a narrow pas sage, at the top of which is a door, which is regularly fas tened at ❑ights, and forms, indeed, the only door of access to the whole of the premises. The shop is about eighteen yards distant from the back of the house. He saw Cook about eleven o'clock on the Wednesday morning ; rime down from his shop and spoke to witness, who was engaged washing a tub in a yard, and then went out the front door. Witness did not see him again till ten o'clock in the evening. Witness was then sitting up fo, him in consequence of information he received from his wife that Cook was coming to work late at night. lie had told her so about half-past six o'clock in the evening, at which hour he quitted the premises. Witness was looking out at the door when Cook came ❑p. WitmsF, asked him whether he was going to work all night, and he replied that he should probably work four or five hours. Mrs. Sawbridge, wife of Mr. John Sawbridge, examined —On Thursday morning, about eight o'clock, I was engaged in hanging out clothes in the yard when Cook came up through the passage. He put his hand into his pocket, and then said, " I got wet through this morning, and I have been obliged to change my dress, and I have left the key in my other coat pocket, and must go back and fetch it." He then went away. I saw him next about ten o'clock that morning. I was in the yard, and he asked me if I would lend him a mop to clean his shop with ; he said he had began with a besom, but could not get on with it. The mop stood against the pump, and • told him he was welcome to the use of it. He toed it,. ind went up into the shop, and fetched water frequentl in a bucket during the morning. The dirty water he threw down the drain. I did not observe the colour of it, for they were in the habit of using much water in the business, and it WAS generally very dirty when thrown Away. I cannot say how long he was engaged in this work. On the Wednesday night Cook might have come down the passage and unlocked the door, and let any person in or out, without our hearing the noise. He had never been intrusted with the key before that night. Michael Cook was in the habit of coming to the premises, but I never saw him there after Saturday week. Mr. R. F. Plant, book-binder of Leicester, stated thnt Mr. Paas called upon him on the morning of Wednesday s and left some engraved patterns, you can look them over and see if any of them will suit you ; and as! am coming your way in the afternoon to call on Cook, I will call on you at the same time. Mr. Pass never returned. Two bills of parcels were produced of roods supplied to Cook by the firm, at the head of which was the deceased. They were taken off separate files in Cook's, on the morning when the full discovery of the murder was made. The attention of the Jury was particularly called to one , f these.
