GEORGE'S-CRESCENT LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL Yesterday week, in London, a singular and fatal acci dent befel a young woman named Jane Yeo, who, while dancing in order to amuse her infant sister; slipped and fell upon a washhand basin, a fragment of which inflicted so severe a wound upon her throat, that she expired within a few minutes. EXECUTION OF MARY ANNE MILNER.—The young married woman, Mary Anne Milner, who was condemned to death by Mr. Baron Rolfe, at the late Lincoln assizes, for the wilful murder of her mother-in-law, Mary Milner, her sister-in-law, Hannah Jickells, and her niece, Ellen Jiclells, by means of poisoning them with arsenic, expi ated her dreadful offence on the scaffold on Friday. Baron Rolfe, in sentencing her to death, expressed his firm con viction of her guilt, and held out not the slightest hope of her life being spared. This, it seems; she readily antici pated, for, on her return to her cell, she immediately pro ceeded to seek that mercy which she could not expect in this world. Her,attention to the spiritual instructions of the chaplain is described to have been of the most pro found character. She made a full confession of her crimes, and how she accomplished them, in writing, but desired that it might not be made public until she had ceased to live. The utmost time having transpired for a convict to live after condemnation, the extreme penalty of the law was carried into effect on Friday, the enthusiasm of the late election contest having abated. In proceeding to the drop she conducted herself with much composure. The usual preliminaries were quietly arranged, and the drop having fallen, the wretched murderess, after struggling a few seconds, ceased to exist. ATILLAGE SCHOOL FEAST.—The children of the poor have few pleasures or amusements which we can dwell upon. Charles Lamb said they were not brought up -but dragged up. Yet one scene in the life of village childhood is like, page out of a better and and older book—and we may rejoice and be glad of it. What scene is this ? Surely the school feast ? A homely and simple custom, yet one which,-we ought to be ver y th an kf u l, is now o f f requent occurrence in our country villages. The children are met on the parsonage lawn. A rare summer eve in some quiet village. How those little eyes sparkle with expectation ! It is but tea and bread and butter, or may be a bit of cake. It is but a childish game or a dance on the soft grass. It is but a few kind words of love and looks of t ar:ection. How simple the means to touch the heart of a m l e i t y r tmonf praise,o f little voices "the mouthsgoes up e to pe tl e i r e cralcaaer'sskye—best iNnsetwru of babes and sucklings "—now a burst of light aughter-- for the children of the poor can laugh and play, t) and l be innocently amused; and who so ready to help man in all his endeavours to mend the daily lif e e eocfrghyis flock by all appeals to their gentler and better nature than the " squire' and his good lady ? Though they may not see why somethings which appear to them of little im_ portance are insisted upon, and some of their own im provements not .exactly approved of in their way. One, too, there is, a good and gentle form, helping in the wise and happy work—loved by the weak, the young, the mournful, whose mild and cheerful way with the poor goes so far with them ; whose bright presence in the poor a e r v o e t n ind th u e s, m o i f n c is h t e e e r r ' . s m wi a f n e. 's vvcoittthagethies al e w a a n y s s near welcome—even elm uso ande ing and helping.the labouring poor, both old and young, means it is hard if we do not .make some way in the matter to a better and kinder state of things. --Oxford and Cam- Fridge Review A RUSTIC MATHEMATICIAN.-*My object was chiefly that of extending the small portion of mathematics which the occasional master of Town Bank had been able to give me, but without any one to apply to for assistance when I found myself at a loss, which frequently happened. I was sometimes disposed to shut my book; but, at this early ; period of my life, I had an inherent and inveterate hatred of idleness, and that feeling has continued to haunt me until the advanced stage of human existence at which I,am now writing. In the midst of this dilemma I was informed that there lived in the hills an old farmer, of the name of Gibson, who wept among his neighbours by the appellation of the wise man, on account of his profound knowledge on almost every subject ; that he had - thorough mathematician ; that could talculate eclipses ; the reputation of bein, schoolmaster In short, he: could measure, terms and tides en the story ran that he could gage I determined to pose walked son is rustic wonder, and for that pur- Lt or nine,miles into the hilly coun gratified with the information he try, and v vain points that had floundered me, and th such good will, urbanity, and patience withal, did he ton would have said,) that gave me op c or four times, and should have once more before quitting home, had I not -"lamed to trouble him on that occasion, "ink had puzzled myself for a couple of days and nights with a problem in Simson's Conic Sections, with which, without consulting any one, I found myself so much perplexed and confused, as to despair of ever being able to master. The failure preyed upon my mind. On a future night I tried once more, and, after a vain attempt, fell into a disturbed sleep, in the course of which I became busily at work with my problem, or more correctly, perhaps, I dreamed to be so ; and the result was, a true and satisfactory solution. In the morning, in full recollection of my dream, I took up my slate and pencil, and easily sketched out the On mentioning_the circurnstm , — • ted my visit thrE eh was the lei in after years, to Dr Young, he to Td me it was by no means an unusual rase, and that many instances are on record of intricate points being unravelled in dreams or dWorbed deep ! —Autobio. praphy of Sir John Barrow, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD THE ELECTIONS, &c. (Continued from page 2.) Sir John Hanmer was elected unopposed on Saturday for the Flint boroughs. Lord Brackley—having been driven from South Lan cashire, and defeated at Newcastle-under-Lyme, is now a candidate for North Staffordshire. BANBURY. — We are sorry that Mr. Mc. Gregor has been defeated for this borough. At the close on Satur day night, the numbers were,—for Tancred, 226; Mc. Gregor, 164, _ _ _ CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.—OR Saturday, the poll at the close for that day was as follows:—Law, 1,143 ; Fielding, 880 ; Goulburn, 868 ; Lefevre, 638. The ma jority of Lord Fielding is now, therefore, reduced to only 12, and the poll will continue open to this evening. THE NEW BOTTLE CONJUROR.—The Patriot Harvey —having slunk from Marylebone—has not only eaten his own words, but jumped down his own throat. He says in his letter that the election might "well be coveted by the highest and purest pretensions." It is then no wonder that Mr. Harvey should have retired.—Punch. POLLING AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY. —Sir Robert Peel voted on Friday for Inglis and Gladstone; not a plumper for the latter. Amongst the voters on Friday for Inglis and Gladstone was also the Right Hon. Charles W. Wynn, the father of the House of Commons, who was carried into the Convocation-house in a chair. He was loudly cheered both at his arrival and departure. Lord Ashley voted on Friday for Inglis and Round. The number of members polled is, 1,752 Number of members paired, ~ Total, Above 2,000 members of Convocation have now voted or paired off. STATE OF PARTIES IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT.— Thus far there appears to be a considerable gain to the ministerial cause. No county election has yet taken place. The cities and boroughs from which returns have been made are in number 192. These places have already elected 325 members of the new House of Commons. In the parliament recently dissolved, the Protectionists formed nearly one-fourth of the whole number, and the Peel party were of almost equal strength ; whereas up to this period of the election proceedings, the Liberal party form three-fifths of the number, the other parties con stituting respectively one-fifth. The numbers of the three parties up to this time are as follow :—Liberals, 189 Peelites, 62 ; Protectionists, 58. NORM NORTH CMBERLAND.—ThiS contest is likely to be severe. The three candidates, Lord Ossulston, Lord Loraine, and Sir George Grey, Bart. are all on the spot, and have last weekbeen engaged in visiting and addressing the 'electors. The home secretary had a sort of field-day at Alnwick on Monday ; but the reception of the Right Hon. Bart. met with was the " north side of friendly," and'it was remarked that the attendance of county gen tlemen in his cause was lamentably meagre. The contest may be severe, but it will be found that the honest, sturdy yeomanry of North Northumberland will declare for the constitution candidates, and decidedly against the well paid placeman of a powerless, incompetent government, whose character may be read in their unscrupulous adhe rence to the worst provisions of the abominable Poor Law Bill, and in their declared intention to tax, at the earliest favourable opportunity, the protestant people of this country,in order to endow the Irish Romanist priests. At a meeting held on Tuesday at Halifax, to introduce the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the electors, Mr. Jonathan Ackroyd, a Dissenter, at whose house Sir C. Wood was staying, was combating the objections of his brethren to the Education Grant, when he met with some opposition in the meeting, he became much excited, and suddenly fell back in a fit, in which hedied. The meeting in question was called to promote the election of Sir Charles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Akroyd was called to the chair, and he rose to introduce Sir Charles. He spoke with great animation against the Dissenters and their anti-education movement, and his remarks were so interrupted by hooting and yelling, that Mr. Millington, one of Mr. Miall's committee, remon strated with the people, and • requested a fair hearing for Mr. Akroyd. The tumult then partly subsided, and Mr. Akroyd was heard somewhat more quietly; but in a few minutes he sank on the floor, and was carried out of the room quite dead. He was in his 67th year, and had been for some time in a very feeble state of health, so much so, indeed, as to be quite unfit to bear - any excitement, and nothing but his high personal respect for Sir Charles Wood would have induced him to take part in the election. THE REJECTED ONES.—Mr. Macaulay has lost his inse secure hold on the fickle dem ocracyof the modern Athens. A candidate who contributes less directly to the wants of literature has supplanted the brilliant writer. Besides grievances of a more general nature, the quarrel of the Free Church has told in this instance. The expulsion of a Cabinet Minister from his seat is the first instalment of that revenge which so many hundred relinquished kirks and manses will surely exact. A not very respectful sense of security, together with reasons of a more personal and extraordinary nature, have lost another Cabinet Minister his seat for Nottingham. For Mr. Macaulay, we presume, another seat will be found; but whether it will be thought necessary to ransack the three kingdoms in order to re tain Sir John Hobhouse in the Board of Control, we leave to those who are better able to appreciate his services. Bath has dismissed Mr. Roebuck to the pleasures of repose, unless some other constituency should desire to see its name associated with the most interesting and critical debates, and perhaps the most gratuitous squab bles of the legislature. Mr. Gisborne is again seatless, unless an Irish borough is in the market, or an O'Connell to be found. Protestantism has .unfortunately lost the advocacy of Mr. Spooner. Mr. Fielden has sunk himself in his own lake at Oldham by tying to himself a millstone of a colleague. Sir Fitzroy . lCelly" is again without that success he too ardently courts, and too nearly attains. vv incnester nas wipea out Mr.. BscOtt. Mr. Manners Sutton has been sacrificed on the altar of protectionism at Cambridge. Colonel Fox has been thrown upon the government rosources. Perhaps the most wanton and most deplorable act of mere folly has been the deposition -of Mr. Hawes from his seat, for, as we believe, the emptiest and most fantastical reasons. THE NEW MEMBERS.—The new importations into parliament are of a very mixed character. At first sight one is disposed to apprehend a -serious additional inroad on the time, attention, and forbearance of the house ; but the danger diminishes on reflection. Mr. G. Thompson, like many other talkative gentlemen, will find his tether in the senate. Mr. C. Pearson was once very formidable, but is now tame. Mr. Feargus O'Connor is not a very tedious demagogue, and is more imprudent than ill-tem pered. Mr. Urquhart may be safely left in Lord Palmer ston's hands. Serjeant Talfourd will probably be taught the need of that terseness, brevity, and point, which public dinners and juries do not require. 11Ir. Fox will contribute to the legislature some of his Covent-garden eloquence. As a set off against the .generation of talkers, there are some able and eloquent -men introduced or re stored to the state. Lord Ashley, the new member for Bath, rests on a firmer basis than the cupidity or the pride of the Dorsetshire agriculturists. Plymouth has returned, in Mr. Roundell Palmer, one of the most able and most promising young lawyers of his day. Mr. Macgregor, long known as the Egeria of our Numas, the chief source of the economical and statistical lore which Ministers interpret to the House, aims, by the favour of Glasgow, to be his-own interpreter for the future, with what success we shall see. At least lie will no longer fret under the mortification which a Sic vos non vobis is sure to inspire. The railway interest is now strong in the house, though not really stronger perhaps than when the chairman and directors canvassed, but could not speak or vote. Cubitt, Locke, Peto, Glyn, Jackson, Mangles, Ricardo, Sir J. Walmsley, Cobbold, and Lacey, represent their several lines. The Chairman of the Great Western alone has sustained an unaccountable defeat, and the broad guage laments its greatest hero. A LEGISLATOR IN DIFFICULTIES.—Mr. W. S. Black stone has been returned the member for Wallingford. W no e m ll i s na a t n io d n from Allnatt, a in When our despatch was closed o n F r id a y, we l e ft M r . Blackstone se rene l y survey i ng th e procee di ngs o f t h e an upper Market-place window o f th , e t o bank i which hf place Messrs. o f safety order to honourable ca n did a t e h a d e ff ecte d hi s retreat, de o secure himself against a threatened arrest for debt.

The farmers who escorted . the protectionist candidate into town, on horseback, came provided with heavy hunting whips, and made no secret of their determination not to permit him to be taken. There was also a party of stout labourers, armed with stout bludgeons, who formed a strong body guard around the honourable gentleman's carriage. On the other RIOTING AT PS/MON.-- At Preston, on Thursday evening, wheil Mr. Parker, the Conservative candidate, was speakifl g from the Bull Hotel, in Fishergate, the mob were very uproarious, and loud shouts for both sides re sounded through the streets. At this time a large party of the liberal party came up Church-street, having five or six colours with them ; on coming up to the main body of the mob a desperate fight took place ; the blues (the Conservative party) attacked the flags, and though they were well defended for some time, they were eventually pulled down and captured, the poles being broken, and the colours much torn and defaced were carried in triumph to the Bull. The liberal members stood at the window of the Red Lion, and Mr. Parker at the Bull, with many of the principal gentlemen of the town. A stone was thrown, which passed through the window directly over Mr. Par ker's head, and this was succeeded by more, the mob be coming more riotous every moment. There was still one colour of the liberal party remaining, and an attempt was made to take it in safety to the Red Lion, but the true blues made another attack, and after a desperate fight succeeded in capturing it also, and it shared the fate of the others. Stones now began to fly thickly, and the shut ters of the lower windows of the Bull were closed. The fight soon became general, and raged most terrifically for a long time. The pavement of the street was torn up, and a general attack was made upon the Bull Hotel. The inn-yard was bravely defended for some time, but the blues were much out numbered ; notwithstanding this, they kept their posts for a considerable time, the stones flying like hail ; in and out of the arched ent rance a sally was then made, and for a moment the Liberal party fled in all directions, the street for a long space being as clear as possible. Two men were left stretched upon the ground, but they were carried away by their respective parties. Upon seeing how few there were to oppose them, the Liberal force returned with renewed violence. Their opponents were driven down the Bull yard, and the doors, with considerable difficulty, were closed. The work of demolition then be gan; the shutters'of the windows were broken with paving stones, and the windows, shutters, and frames smashed in, the upper windows, too, were nearly all broken. - The in furiated mob continued to throw large stones'through the broken windows, and the furniture in the rooms was, much damaged. Several valuable pictures suspended against the walls were also seriously injured. During the whole time not a .• the d isturbance, but they were to be foun'd very snugly out of harm's way, up the yards and courts leading from the main street where the iioting was going on. On re monstrating with two or three who were looking at the uproar from Bolton's-court, they replied that they had no orders to do any thing. A pretty state of affairs, truly, property being destroyed in the most wilful manner, and the police, to whom is confided the protection of property, calmly watching the whole proceedings without a single exertion being made to put a stop to them. Some reform is required. When all the damage had been done that it was possible to do, the mob became rather quieter, and eventually dispersed, although numbers of people came to look at the devastation . that had taken place. The shop in Church-street and Fishergate were closed at I o'clock in the afternoon, and business was completel a standstill.

UNFERMENTEDBREAD.—An excellent tract on this sub ject, by an eminent physician, to which we sometime since directed the attention of our readers, has, we see, now reached a tenth editiOn. Some facts which have recently come to ~light have confirmed, in a remarkable degree, the accuracy of the writer's observations, it being ascertained that the results which he stated from his own experience are in exact accordance with the conclusions of science. It isremarked on the injurious effects of refining wheat meal, that not only is a large portion of the grain lost as human food, but that the bread manufactured from white flour is rendered less nourishing, while the animal life fed on the bran is liable to become diseased. The author, in a paragraph introduced in the last edition, proceeds to say : Since the first publication of the preceding part of this note, Professor Johnston, of the University of Durham, has subjected the meal and flour of wheat to chemical analysis, and thereby illustrated and confirmed the conclusions drawn by the author of this tract from his own experi ments and observations, and the statements of previous writers.—(Vide " Blackwood's Magazine " for June, 1847.) According to this analysis, the flour of wheat contains, at the lowest estimate, twenty-two per cent. less of the staminal principles'of nutrition than the entire meal ; and, if to this is added the smallest allowance for the matters destroyed by fermentation, we shall be under the mark in saying, that fermented flour bread contains twenty-five per cent. less of the nutritious ingredients than unfermented meal bread. This loss in quality, togethenwith the loss in quantity given at page 12, fur nishes data for a correct estimate of the relative value of the two as articles of diet. Hence it appears that for every seventy-five loaves of fermented white bread we might possess one hundred of unfermented meal bread ; and in every three of these at least as much nourishment as is contained in four of the other." PIZARRO AND HIS BAND.—.OII the 24th of September, 1532, five months after landing at Tumbez, Pizarro marched out at the head of his little body of adventurers from the gates of San Miguel, having enjoined it on the colonists to treat their Indian vassals with humanity, and to conduct themselves in such .a manner as would secure the good-will of the surrounding tribes. Their own ex istence, and with it the safety of the army and the success of the undertaking, depended on this course. In the place were to remain the royal treasurer, the veedor or inspector of metals, and otherofficers of the crown ; and the command , of the garrison was intrusted to the con- tador, Antonio Navao. 'The; putting himself at~the head of his troops, the chief struck boldly into the heart of the country, in the direction where, as be was in formed, lay the;camp of the Inca. It was a daring enter prise, thus to venture with a handful of followers into the heart of a powerful empire; to present himself, face to face, before the Indian monarch in his own camp, en compassed by the dower of his victorious army ! Pizarro had already experienced more than once the difficulty of maintaining his ground against the rude tribes of the north, so much inferior in strength and numbers to the warlike regions of Peru. But the hazard of the game, as I have already more than once had occasion to remark, constituted its great charm with the Spaniard. The brilliant achievements of his countrymen on the like oc casion, with means so inadequate, inspired him with con fidence in his own good star; and this confidence was one source of his success. Had he faltered for a moment, had he stopped to calculate chances, he must inevitably have failed ; for the odds were two great to be combated by sober reason. They were only to be met triumphantly by the spirit of the knight-errant.—Prescotes History and Conquest of Peru. SHERWOOD FOREST.—The decayed ferns in some place form a soil which is yards in depth, and the surface is covered with mosses in beautiful variety, and studded with bluebells, foxgloves, violets, and other sweet wild flowers, in their appointed seasons. In the spring, whilst the ferns lie dead and yellow around you, and the oaks are blanched and leafless, the solitude is broken by rooks and jackdaws building their nests in the hollow sockets of the trees, and waving their dusky pennons to the music of their own cawing ; or if some tiny bird flits through the colossal ruins of the forest, it is on ly t o u tt er mournful shrenes, or sad, melancholy pipings. The rooks and daws are the only winged creatures, (save the night owls) which have then any claim of habitancy in this old primeval temple. But as the warm days come on, and May returns to earth, like a bride laden with flowers, there is a universal joyousness in the old forest; the mighty oaks, with centuries in their blood, leap up as into a life eternal, and clap their ancient hands with a great shout of deliverance and praise. The gorse, dropping with gold and delicious odours, flourishes under the wild foliage of the trees ; the fiery adders come from their winter holes and sun thonselves in the glades, and the whole forest resounds with the melody of birds. At night, when the shadows cast by the moon enhance the solemnity of the scene, and fill it with ghostly witcheries and wonder ful enchantments, you may hear the lovelorn song of the nightingale, rushing through the starry air from the far off dells of Birkland, and dying away in sweet cadences as they are borne along from echo to echo. The hares and rabbits then come out of the dingles and thick entangled underwood to crop the dewy herbage, and gambol in the silence and security of the hour; and as you walk along, the startled pheasant rushes to the tree tops with heavy wing and shrill cries.—People's Journal.

One or two old women were frying cakes of maize, or of millet, in a composite of ghee and jaggaree ; the former being clarified butter, the latter species of sugar—not unlike treacle in the lump extracted from the inspissated juice of the palmyra tree. Aany were cooking, under stray trees and beneath the eaves of their hovels, their evening refection—plain boiled rice, a little curry of fish, or meat, or vegetables ; but generally the women were emple hugs in spinning, weavi , — tive looms. a coars d outside their dwel (and their simple and primi .o not without a touch of the , en pion our, picturesque) or here and there seated on their haunt. busily grinding flour for the week's consumption, by mear, of those original handmills that are no doubt the heir looms of the Mosaic time.

The officers of the law, fearing that blood might be shed in the disturbance which must ensue, and being apprehen sive, moreover, that if their honourable prisoner were seized and rescued, the High Sheriff might become liable for the debt, determined to make no attempt on the day of nomination, but to wait for a more favourable occasion. It was thought advisable by Mr. Blackstone's friends that he should sleep at the Bank on Friday night, instead of incurring the hazard of a return to his seat at Howbury. The polling took place on Saturday, and when the clock struck four the crowd assembled under the windows of the Bank,- and lustily cheered the success ful candidate, under the impression that he might then safely defy his persecutors. The " Legislator in diffi culties," however, appeared anxious to hear himself for mally declared by the Mayor to be duly elected, before he trusted himself within the reach of the harpies of the law, and therefore requested the electors to escort him safely to the Town-hall, and the honourable gentleman's appeal was immediately and effectually answered. The crowd fell back, and a clear passage was preserved from the Bank to the Town-hall, the farmers and others joining arms to prevent the enemy coming at the hon. member. By-and-bye Mr. Blackstone appeared at the door of the Bank in the midst of a band of most - determined looking fellows, armed with short sticks, who kept so close to the hen, gentleman that he was fairly carried off his legs and borne into the Town-hall. The rush in which this was effected can only be compared to a pit-door on a Jenny Lind night, and the squeezing which the hon. member underwent during the horrors of this " middle passage" was a heavy penalty to pay for the " privilege" and " ex emption" of even a long Parliament. The Mayor having made thh official declaration that Mr. William Seymour Blackstone was duly elected to serve the borough of Wal- lingford in Parliament, the candidates severally addressed the crowd in the market-place below from a window of the Town-hail, Mr. Blackburne declaring that if any steps were taken to arrest him, he would makes ruptiou in Par liamot on the subject,—Timeu. plant, while its seeds are posy fully aromatic ; fenugreek, a tion of the et huldee, the turn fleur-de-lis looking leaves dant ; a by lemon-grass, of win( 111 one of moogra bushes ; which, having collected, sh in her fragrant lair, and with a needle and thr to fashion them into . grFef9l , chaplets : thes, made of the unopened bu Ina next day carried to market; but ofienerToplac;ebo. of a dear one !—CaIA „Abroad and at Hone arden I sat down ad began ,ere they ;ornetimes for ornament or perfume, 'fore an idol, or to lay upon the tomb 'or Campbell's Rough Recollections FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY, As the past week has, throughout the country, been mostly spent in electioneering, we have little commercial intelligence to convey to our readers. Money has been in demand throughout the week ; and, previously to the settling day on the Consol and Share Market 6 per cent was freely paid. Stocks were lower and sellers more nu merous than buyers, in anticipation of au increasing scar city. The Share market was drooping. _ . Our Cotton market at the commencement of the week was flat, but recovered itself after the arrival of the steamer. The sales for the week were 18,130 bales, of which 3,500 were on speculation and for export. The imports amounted to 22,533 bales. The Corn markets are E to qs. per quarter on ti ,y from ss. of foreign . . _ and colonial are very large. • In the Manchester and other manufacturing markets the excitement of the elections has operated to prevent much business being done.

WEASEL HARE-HUNTING.—A few evenings ago, as 'utleman was driving up the Kirkbean road, and just as passing near Mabie, he observed a bare run iing and doubling as if chased by slow-hounds. On ap proaching nearer, the pursuer was discovered to be a weasel, which followed its prey with amazing swiftness, and apparently by the scent ; for when the hare got out of sight by the intervention of some bushes, the weazel smelt the track and continued the chase. Thee noise of the gig -wheels alarmed poor puss, and she made a despe rate attempt to leap the roadside fence, in which she failed, fell back, and was nearly caught by the little var mint. A boy, at this juncture, jumped out of the gig to secure them both, but before he could do so they ran away in different directions. The hare was very much exhausted, and appeared to have been chased for long • • and would very probably fall a prey to its —.Dumfries Courier.

HORRIBLE MURDERS AT MANCHESTER.-0/1 Satur day last, two children were barbarously murdered by their own father, in Lord Street, Hulme, near Manches ter, and the wretched man nearly murdered his wife. The name of the murderer is Joseph Speed, a mar about thirty-four years of age, who is by trade a stripp cotton mill, and who, until a short time before Christmas, worked at the mill of Messrs. Pooley. He is stated to have been a sober, steady, and industrious man, and, for ought that appears to the contrary, has been a good husband and an affectionate father. He has been out of employment, however, since before Christmas, and this seems to have induced a lowness of _ , • - - and orders were er in a reason to believe ha About ten o'ciciek on oor fellow's I Loft time before, his wife, it appear fiouse to procure a supply of water for her usual Saturday's dentin for domestic purposes, l eav i ng h er h us b an d at hOme in charge of the two children, who at the time were in bed.
