CHESTER ASSIZES.-MONDAY Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) The Court met this morning at nine o'clock; and in con sequence of it having been fixed that the Peover murder case should be gone into the first thing to-day, the - court was crowded to excess THE PEOVER MURDER. The first case called upon was that of Bartholornetv Mur ray, 18, who was indicted for the wilful murder of Joseph Cook and Mary Cook, at Over Peover, on the 24th August last ; to which he pleaded, in a firm voice, " not guilty." The Attorney-General, with whom were Messrs. Cotting ham and Trafford, were concerned for the prosecution ; and Mr. Robert Temple was engaged for the prisoner. Plans and models of the premises were produced, in order to ex plan more particularly the peculiar localities of the rooms and the neighbourhood. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in stating the case to the jury, went through the different points of the prosecution, which will appear fully in the evidence, and described the case to be one grounded solely upon circumstantial testimony. All the witnesses were ordered out of court. Rebecca Morgan was then called, who said she was 15 years old. Lived servant with the late Mr. and Mrs. Cook ; went there the Christmas before it happened ; had had her sisters living with them before. They generally went to bed at eight o'clock, master fastening the doors. They got up at six in winter, and five in summer. Witness was usually called up by master. Master's bed-room was in front. He ]as a brother-in .law named Leah living half a mile from the it house on Monday, and stayed till Afterwards, master made both the eight o'clock at night Master went before mistress : he left Mrs. Cook up. There was a fire in the house ; did not take any candle to bed. Tables were in the house ; left a basin upon one of them. Fell asleep soon ; but was awakened by crash of stand and basin. Heard Mrs. Cook say, " Joseph, can't you get a light :" that was in their bed-room. There was no reply. She went down stairs ; and when she had got to the bottom she cried out " 0 Lord !" Heard a great noise, as by a hammer beating against a wall. Mistress cried out Oh !" and " woe." Heard nothing else. Next heard some person come up stairs into witness's room. lie opened the door, and stood by the bed-side. There was no light. He then walked to the foot of the bed, where he stood a while ; then came back and stood by the bed side. He afterwards went to Mrs. Cooke's room ; he did not re main any time there, and proceeded down stairs. He passed between witness and the window ; but it being so very dark could not tell whether the person was a man or a woman ; heard nothing more. Master had a clock in the house place; did not hear the person leave the house, nor hear anything more of him. Still continued in bed, and then. heard two or three groans ! it struck eleven just at that time ; the clock had struck ten when the noise of the stand and basin was heard ; afterwards heard the clock strike twelve, one, two, and three, when she fell asleep, and awoke at five ; got up and dressed herself. There is a small room between the the bed rooms and going down stairs ; observed that Mr. Western's bed room was open. The first thing she saw down stairs was the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cook, lying in a lake of blood ; got upon her hands and knees ; procured her bonnet and shoes ; unbarred the kitchen door, and went to Mr. Leah's; masters's bed-room window was open; in formed Mr. Leah what she had seen ; master was not in the habit of undressing himself down stairs, but before going up to bed he generally threw his neckcloth over the chair back in the house. He had been cutting sticks that night at the wood pent; but was not sure whether it was an - axe or a hook he was cutting the wood with ; he was cutting when Mr. Leah came up ; usually kept upon a little shelf in the shippon the axe, hook, and dubbing sheers ; saw the handles of them from the shelf. The witness was cross-examined, but nothing of impor- Mr. William Leah examined by Mr. TRAFFORD. — Married Mr. Cook's sister, and lived about half a mile from the house. Went to the house between six and seven on the night in question. He was cutting wood with a hook; did not take the hook into the shippon, Staid in the house till their clock gave warning for eight, leaving his wife, and the girl. Towards morning was called upon by Rebecca Mor gan ; it was five o'clock. Met James Horsy in the lane, about twenty or thirty yards from Mr. Cook's house. Took him back with him. Observed hay upon his coat. Observed Cook's bed-room window open; toe house door was upon the latch. Saw Mr. and Mrs. Cook lie upon the floor ; he lay within the door, and she at the further end of the house. There was a vast quantity of blood ; and thought that their throats had been cut. The stools and stands had been up set, and broken basins lying upon the floor, which articles he had left the deceased using the night before. Also found that the desk had been broken open, and the lock forced off. The girl fetched John Kinder, the constable ; and many people were soon on the spot. In an (hour and a half Top ham, a constable of Knutsford came ; remained there in the and prevented anything being disturbed. Saw in axe upon the table • do not think he touched it; did not know whose it was. Mr. Dean, the surgeon, examined the bodies before any person removed them. Saw a paper lying near the fire place ; it appeared as though it had lighted a candle; did not touch it. Had been there half an hour be fore the paper was observed. A pikel was reared against the house near the door, on the outside. There were two can dlesticks on a table beside the axe, and another near the chair, in which Mr. Cook had been left sitting on the over night. Both candles were burned down. Rebecca Morgan recalled by Mr. TEMPLE.—It was after tea that master was cutting sticks ; do not know what it was with ; never said that he was cutting the sticks with an axe near the pump; will swear it. meantim The learned counsel then called for the depositions taken before the justices, wherein it appeared that the witness stated that ti was an axe. In continuation of the cross-ex amination for the prisoner, the witness said she could not be sure whether it was the hook or the axe which Mr. Cook used. By answer to Mr. COTTINGHAM.—Was examined before the magistrates the same week that the murder took place. Could not tell whether it was a man or a woman who entered the bed-rooms, because it was so very dark. Am quite sure that I heard the word " don't master." Thomas Harding said he was a wheelwright, and was near Peover on the day in question. Left his sister's at nine o'clock, on the 25th of August ; on arriving nearly opposite Mr. Cook's house. About half-past six o'clock heard the door open and shut sharp ; the Peover Hall clock afterwards struck ten. When he heard the door, he also heard some thing like blows being struck; and tables and stands being thrown over. Went to the corner of the building and lis tened, which is about twenty yards from the house. Did not hear anything more. Then tried to get on the bay-shed to rest, being very much tired and fatigued, but could not from the road. Passing on to the end of the building, got over to the stack, from which he pulled a quantity of hay, and sitting down upon it, tried to go to sleep. In about five minutes afterwards heard a scuffle, and a female's voice say, " Aye, Lord, my dear master don't." Everything after then was quite still; soon after the Peover Hall clock struck ten. A horse then went by towards Knutsford. Fell asleep; it was not very dark. Awoke about five o'clock. The rea son witness did not go to Cook's on hearing the voices, he though that the master was correcting the servant girl. Ott going across the fields, met Leah ; and, accompanying her back to the house, discovered the dead bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Cook. James Topham, an officer of the Chester constabulary, was examined by Mr. COTTINGHAM. He resided at Knutsford. and a little after seven o'clock on the morning of the 25th August, went to Mr. Cook's house, where he saw Sir Harry Mainwaring, the Rev. ,Mr. Bush, James Leah, and many others. Went into the house, and found Mr. Cook lay on the far side, with his head towards the wall opposite the door, Mrs. Cook with her head towards the door : they lay in an angular direction. The house leads into a garden. Mr. Cook had on a pair of drawers and a night shirt, and Mrs. Cook a chemise and cap, with a deal of blood, arising from injuries inflicted upon them. There was a table, which had been knocked over, a chair with the foot broken, and a bowl, which had been upon it, also broken. There was an axe upon another table under the window : it was six or seven feet from the bodies, and was bloody on the back part. Also found some papers. One was lying :a foot from Mr. Cook's shoulder, and another, which the witness likewise produced, he found on the table, by the axe. A spectacle case and a neck handkerchief, that had been drawn from Mr. Cook, were lying between Mr. Cook's body and the clock. The first paper is written in light blue ; it is also stained with blood. There is a little dirt and bood upon the other. A small portion had been torn off the first, and burned, as though the party had lighted a candle, and then stamped his foot upon the paper. The bit cm - responds with that which had been written on. Went up stairs into Mr. Cook's bed room. There were two buffets in the front room, both of which were bent open : no violence had apparently been used to open them. Some drawers had likewise been opened without violence. The window was open. The bed had been slept on, and Mrs. Cook's pocket lay upon the bed. After wards came down stairs, and found that a bureau had been forced open, and the lock burst from it. Remained in pos session of the house until the inquest, which was held in a few hours afterwards. Gave the articles found to Mr. Har per, the special high constable. Nothing has been added to them. Mr. Harper, the special high constable, was called to iden tify the letters produced to be those given to him by Topham, as had been found in Cook's. Mr. John Plunkett was next examined. He said the do cument produced in blue ink was his handwriting. He was at school at Cavan ; and the character was written for Bartley Murray, (Bartholemew Murray), who, came for the character to his (witness's) father's. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Can ' t really swear that the paper was in his handwriting. He was desired by his father to write one. The document in blue ink is written in the following words—" B. Murray lived with me for six months as servant boy, during which time he conducted himself soberly, ho nestly, and attentively to his business. Nov. 27, 1839. Michael Plunkett, Swelling Lodge, Cavan." Mr. John M`Nally lives at Ballyconnell, and is about 13 miles from Cavan. Knew the prisoner some time back ;he had lived with him. The paper written in black ink to the best of his belief appeared like his. Thinks he gave prisoner a character on leaving him and applying for one through his uncle, who was a workman of his. Looking at the paper, he had no occasion to doubt that this was his handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—I have no recollection hatever of the time I wrote it. LThe existing fragments of this imperfect document having been attached, it was as follows :—" Bartle. B. Murray has lived we years past, during which time he himself with the strictest honesty, having a good deal to transact from me fully. He is now discharged, having been paid all his wages.—John M`Nally." Jas. Highland.—Knows the prisoner. Became acquainted with him at Lisburn, and accompanied him to England. Prisoner showed him two written characters which he had procured in Ireland, one being written with blue ink and the other with black, which he had severally received from Mr. Plunkett, and the other from Dr. Alpin. He admitted also that he had one from Mr. M`Nally. On landing in this country in June, got work on the Saturday at Knotty Ash, near Liverpool. Did not see the character in his custody after that time. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Got work all winter, as a bricksetter's labourer, and has worked regularly except on wet days. Came to England because a lad told him he might get plenty to do here. Can neither read nor write. W. Fitzpatrick.— Lived at Col. Williams's, Little Woolton, near Liverpool. Worked with the prisoner at the last hay time, at Mr. Wright's, farmer, Childwall, in the latter end of June. Saw him with John P. Fitzpatrick, and others ; went with them to Warrington, thence to Knutsford, where they lodged at Terence Riley's. They went to different places but could not meet with employment. This testimony went to show that Murray was not able to obtain work, and obtain money by labour. Murray exhibited to him three written characters, signed by Plunkett, M`Nalty, and ano ther ; and one was written in blue ink. Saw them more than once. They were worn very thin, and the prisoner asked witness to write two more for him, but he refus e d to d o i t, as he considered it would be a count:efDid not recoll ec t th e distance Cross-examined by Mr. TEN I P LE distance of time he saw the character to the time he was ex amined before the magistrates. We received the preceding by an early train from Chester yesterday, but owing to some accident o r irregularity the concluding part of the report has not reached us.

Posterity will blame us that we have not sooner seized upon the opportunity of immortalizing what must, some 20 years hence, be viewed as a " lusus natures," viz., a whig mayor of Liverpool ;—the last, perhaps, which is ever likely to be seen in this good old town. Anxious as we are, how ever, to stand well with and to gratify posterity, we must confess that we can see nothing, either in the mental or bodily graces, of the subject of our present sketch —nothing whatever beyond the fact of his occupying the civic chair — which can at all entitle him to a more prominent position than that which we have assigned him. History, indeed, records the name of Thomas Bolton as the last of his species who bloomed in the council chamber ;—as the ultimate or penultimate joint in the tail of the incubus which for some ten years has been allowed to desecrate the seat of the mayoralty of Liverpool. The virtuoso may prize his name as he would that of the last man who was - hung at " Tyburn '—as he would the last three shilling piece which was issued from the mint—or any other similar curiosity ; but we have no wish to convert our gallery into a receptacle for such commodities—into a store-room for the odds and ends of humanity. We purpose decorating its walls with the lineaments of great men—of men whose names like those of Sir Joshua Walmsley or Mr. William Earle deserve to live in the world's estimation for ever; but Thomas Bolton is only great by courtesy,—great for one twelve months by virtue of his office—great as the present head of the Town Hall menage, and as the " most desartless captain" of the Town Hall dogberries. We remember having heard somewhere a story of a Flemish painter, who having been paid to paint the " facial develope ments" of a worthy burgomaster, after several ineffectual attempts, threw down his brush in despair, and with a noble disinterestedness returned the money which he had received. The burgomaster had not a face to paint ; ergo, the artist could not earn his fee. Our mayor is in this respect not unlike the worthy burgomaster ; and we must, with all due submission, hand over the painting of his exterior to some of those less aspiring artists who execute all house signs—paint " jolly carters" or " merry cobblers"—and occasionally con descend to coat with rainbow hues, the shafts, body and wheels of a cart, or a wheelbarrow. The red rotundity of visage which won the hearts of all beholders in the person of "sweet Kitty Clover," whose face was " As red and as round and as fat, As a red pulpit cushion, or redder than that, is not to our taste ; although, when combined with the ro bust frame and the stout nether limbs of his worship, the whole might furnish an admirable subject for such an artist as we have alluded to. The addition of a blouse-vuglo, a tmock frock—to the snuff-brown " Benjamin" and the drab " unmentionables" of the mayor, would furnish as excellent a representation of the jolliest of carters, as ever swung upon a post or blew the froth off a pot of beer. But after all, what are externals ? Beneath this rough and somewhat unprepossessing exterior may lie a soul stupid in all the rarer essences of humanity. " Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear ;' and such a gem may be the mind which slumbers beneath the massy frame of our worthy chief magistrate. Some " mute inglorious Milton"—some " Cromwell, guiltless of his coun try's blood"—it may be, after all, which, in our blindness, we now slight in the person of Mr. Thomas Bolton. We fear, however, that such is not the fact ; that a very ordinary and somewhat hitter kernel it is which is contained within that rough and unpromising shell. In every thought and in every feeling Mr. Bolton is a thorough " utilitarian"—a mere mat ter-of-fact man. Taste, fancy, imagination, he possesses not a very particle of. " A primrose, by the river's brim, A yellow primrose is to him." A light cloud flitting over the blue face of an April morn is to him no more than a hint to put his umbrella under his arm. He never dreams, except he has eat a heavy supper, and then it is only of a fall in the price of " Boweds" or " Orleans," or of a protested bill drawn upon a Yankee speculator in bank stock or backwood allotments. He never wrote nor never read a line of poetry in his life. Painting, sculpture, music he cares not for. His balance sheet at Christmas is to him a more pleasing object than a master piece of Raphael. A column of figures in his ledger he would inspect with greater interest than the column of Trajan. All these, however, are very praiseworthy habits, no doubt, in your mere man of business ; and in this character we rea dily admit that Mr. Bolton is unexceptionable. In his private capacity—on 'Change, in his counting-house, or by his fire side—we have every inclination to be satisfied with him. In his public capacity, however, as a politician, we cannot accord to him the same meed of praise. Contracted utilitarian views and a sour and overbearing spirit have ever distin guished him in his public conduct. He would not waive a prejudice even to win the good opinion of an opponent, but rather insist upon his humour, purposely to aggravate his hostility ; and as the natural result of this unamiable spirit, he is about the " best disliked" man of his party—to which circumstance, no doubt, in a great measure, he owes his ele vation to civic pre-eminence. That " impartiality" and " gentlemanly conduct" which in Sir Joshua Walmsley won the unvarying applause of our contemporaries, is not, we fear, likely to be a shining characteristic of the present Mayor— to whom, should he ever be rewarded by the honours of knighthood for his assiduities in " toadying" the persons of any of her Majesty's imbeciles, we would suggest the title of Sir Bruin, in addition to his patronymic of Bolton ; and for his crest, a hand grasping a soup ladle—gastronomic taste, we believe, having been the only taste ever displayed by his worship, and that which has alone distinguished his mayoralty. DISCONTINUANCE OF THE_" TRACTS FOR THE TIMES." The important communication which the above title con veys is made in a letter addressed by the Rev. Mr. Newman to the Bishop of Oxford. His lordship has gravely stated that he considers that the Tract No. 90 is " objectionable, and may tend to disturb the peace and tranquillity of the church ; ' and " advises that the Tracts Ar the Times should be discontinued." In compliance with this remonstrance, Mr. Newman has announced that No. 90 will close the series. MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE AT LEEDS. On Wednesday evening, the anniversary meeting of the Leeds District Society for the Promotion of Christian Know ledge, was held in the Music Hall, Albion-street, Leeds, and was very numerously attended. The Lord Bishop of Ripon presided. After the first resolution had been passed unanimously, the Bishop announced that the second resolution would be moved by the Rev. Dr. Hook, the vicar of the parish. The Rev. Dr. Hook immediately rose and was received with the most cordial cheering, which lasted for some time. \\Then the applause had subsided, he said—My Christian Friends, I thank you for that long, and loud applause. (Re newed cheers. It tells me that whatever others may say of me lam still secure of your support. (Loud applause.) It tells me that you adhere to those principles and doctrines that I preach—those good old high church doctrines. (Loud cheers.) It tells me that in whatever Protestant pulpit Popery may be preached, in my Catholic pulpit you hear only those doctrines of the Church of England by which Popery can be refuted. (Renewed plaudits.) My Christian friends, we can no longer shut our eyes, after what we have heard in various parts of the country, to the lamentable fact that the Church of England is now divided into two parties. It is a lamentable fact ; and I should very much have wished that it had been otherwise. In my humble sphere I have endea voured even to avoid the appearance of forming a party, the appearance even of "lording it over God's heritage," and God Almighty knows that it never was my wish. (Applause.) But parties now are formed. A party has been found act ing in a party spirit, and on party tactics, in various parts of the country ; and in self-defence a party now must be formed to meet it. (Cheers.) We can no longer halt between two opinions ; we cannot attempt to hunt with the hounds and to run with the hare ; we must take our part ; and as far as I am concerned I will nail my colours to the mast of high prin ciple, and blow high or blow low, come sunshine or come storm, through the grace of God, I will adhere to them. (Loud applause.) Now, my Christian friends, I will tell you what I mean by our taking a decided part. tis often said, I have heard it frequently said, by laymen " What are we poor lay men to do ?"—laymen who are perfectly determined to take their own course—but, " what are we to do when we find that on some particular points the clergy are themselves divided ?" I will tell you the safe course, which is this--to discover what party acts on those general principles which we generally approve, and to that party to give our support, notwithstanding the occasioAal extravagancies to which indi viduals of that party may be led by their enthusiasm for all that is high, elevating, and holy, for the demonstration of their principles for the edification of the church or the glory of God. (Applause.) Now the two parties into— The Bishop of Ripon.—Perhaps my learned friend will allow me to observe that this is scarcely consistent with— (The renewed plaudits of the assembly prevented the rest of the sentence from being heard, if uttered.) My Christian friends, we are come here to promote the cause of Christian knowledge, and Ido earnestly—(a repetition of the cheers prevented his lordship from proceeding.) Hear me, while I in Christian kindness beg my Christian friend to consider whether he may not confine himself to the subject we are met to promote. (Great excitement prevailed.) The Rev. William Williamson, in a stentorian voice, ex claimed, from the upper part of the orchestra—" Hear the bishop, heat the bishop, hear the bishop." The Bishop rejoined—" I have been heard—l have spo ken," and resumed his seat. Er. Hook (after a burst of applause)—lf I had been allowed, I should have shown how the subject on which I have been speaking may be made to bear upon the object of our present meeting; but after what our respected diocesan has said I shall content myself with saying nothing more than requesting you to adopt the resolution that I proceed to read to you— " That this meeting is deeply impressed with the liberality which the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has shown, both by the grants for various purposes to this town and neighbourhood, and by the great reduction which has been made in the prices of Bibles and Testaments." On this point it will be unnecessary for me to detain you any great length of time. You all know how liberally the grants have been made by this society. You are all well aware of that, and, therefore, I feel quite certain that you will gladly and cordially adopt the resolution which I now submit to you. (Loud and long continued cheers marked the conclusion of the Rev. vicar's address.) [We take the above from the Leeds Intelligeneer of Sa turday last. In a subsequent speech, Dr. Hook apologised to the bishop for " having unintentionally disturbed, or nearly so, the harmony of the meeting."] The perpetual movement has for countless years, it seems, acted as a night mare to many of the ingenious manufac turers of the Jura. One of them had been for twenty years occupied with this chimerical pursuit. Last year he thought he had attained the desired discovery, and constructed a machine so admirably contrived that it went with the most perfect regularity for eight successive months. This cer tainly was a most flattering result, and encouraged the in ventor to entertai n th e f u l l hope that he ha d f oun d ou t a principle hitherto deemed non-existent. Alas ! the delusion was doomed to pass away. About a week ago the wonderful piece of mechanism came to a sudd en stop, an d w ith it the life of its visionary contriver ; for, o n th e f o ll ow i ng morning, he was found self-suspended to a beam in his barn. John Fitzpatrick was with the prisoner and last witness at Knutsford in August last. Worked there three days, at Ditchfields', haymaking. Prisoner worked with him, and had some words with one of the lads then also working for Ditchfields. Left Knutsford for 'Nottingham. Never saw the prisoner without money. Came back to Riley's, at Knutsford, and lodged there. We had had no work. Since witness was before the magistrates, he had been in Liverpool Gaol. _ _ Samuel Ross had lived with Mr. Ditchfield, of Knutsford, who held a farm at Over Peover. Worked for him in the beginning of August, in the hay. There were a great many Irishmen there just before the Knutsford Sessions ; the pri soner was one of them ; they worked Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The prisoner, on the Friday, asked witness whe ther " those old people " (meaning the Cooks) were rich ; and witness answered, " Yes, very." The following morn ing some words took place about some hay. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE. — Did not quarrel with him ; we had a few words ; he was angry. Did not know anything about the prisoner until he came to work in the hay. Wituess threatened to stick prisoner with the pikel, but did not attempt. Re-examined by Mr. TRAFFORD. — Was sure that Murray was the man who made use of the sbove language to him. Henry Saville lived, in August last, with Mr. Fincham, of Ravenshead, near Prescot. Saw prisoner the Saturday before the murder ; purchased a pawnticket of a watch from him for Os. ; prisoner stated that he wanted to go to Bir mingham, and gave his name Wm. Fitzpatrick. Sent for the watch, but the ticket was stopped. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Believes that one of the Fitzpatricks, just examined, was with the prisoner on one occasion when he (witness) relieved him. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY -GENERAL. — Had relieved him twice, promising that if he (the witness) heard of a situ ation he would let him know. Prisoner then told him his address i❑ Prescot. . . _ - James Atherton was examined by Mr. COTTINGHAM.— He said he knew the prisoner. Remembered him coming to his public-house at Lachford in the middle of June, in company with two other young men ; they had some bread, cheese, and ale. Prisoner said be would call again. On Sunday, the 24th August, he did call again, stating that he was coming to have another glass of " stingo." He asked whether the railway trains go off on the Sunday. 'Witness answered in the affirmative. Prisoner observed that he was going to Knutsford—that was about half-past one—and that he would call as he came down. Witness said that lie could not possibly be back in time. Ile then enquired whether the trains ran at night. He accordingly left, and called again on Tuesday morning about half-past seven o'clock ; had some refreshment, and then weut away. The house is eleven miles distant from Knutsford. Heard of the murder on the Wed nesday, which was the day after the murder. Saw him on the day preceding, and succeeding the day of the murder. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—It was on the Sunday that he came back on his way to Knutsford. Evan Evans keeps the White Bear public-house, in Knuts ford. Knew the prisoner Bartholomew Murray; remembers the day on which Mr. and Mrs. Cook were murdered; and saw him that nigh at two public-houses. He was at the Rose and Crown, between seven and eight o'clock, with James O'Brian. He left and went to the White Bear ;he was not quite sober. Riley came and fetched him away. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—PeopIe were teasing him rather ill-naturedly, which was the reason witness wished to get him away. John Ditchfield said, he saw the prisoner in the lane lead ing to Maithall, lying on his back, about a mile from Cook's house ; it was about half-past ten, on the morning of the 26th. It is a bye-lane. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—The lane is not much frequented ; did not speak to him. By the COURT.—Had seen the prisoner many times in Knutsford, and am certain he is the man. Francis Gregory examined by Mr. COTTINGHAM.—He said he was working with Ross and the prisoner in Ditch field's hay-field. Did not see him after the murder, which took place on Peover Wakes Monday. Saw prisoner that day at noon, near Ditchfield's gate. Asked him where he was going, or whether he was looking out for a job ? He said he was. He asked whether we wanted any hands ; and I told him we did not. Had seen him before ; on one occa sion he was travelling with a basket of oranges. The pri soner is the same man. _ Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Did not know all the Irishmen Mr. Diehfield employed in the hay-field • knew two of them before. Did not know his name until the ex amination at Knutsford. Ellen Bulkeley resides at the Mainwaring Arms, which house is called the " whipping stocks." Knows him by going about with oranges. Saw him going by the " whipping stocks" towards Knutsford, from Cook's, about twelve o'clock on the morning of the murder. Can't say she saw him again. Wm. Evison was a land agent at Toft ; was at Over Peover on the night preceding the murder. Living between Peover and Knutsford, he had to pass Cook's on his way from his brother's, who resides about two miles off. Was on horse back ; it was ten o'clock just before he got to Cook's house. Got home about half-past ten. Nothing attracted his atten tion, When he got home he turned his horse out. Mrs, Evison corroborated the hour of her husband's ar rival. While holding the candle at the door, she observed a man running very quick towards Knutsford from Cook's house. Saw that he was rather low in stature as he passed and heard him panting for breath as he went past. Could not tell whether he was young or old ; but appeared to run very fast. John Eden, the sexton of Knutsford Church, said Ile found a canvas purse in the church-yard, about half-past five o'clock on the morning of the 25th August : it had been thrown over the wall fronting the prison. If a person de sired to pass from Cook's to Terence Riley's lodging-house, they would have to go along the turnpike-road which fronts the church-yard. Gave the purse to Mr. Harper, the Special High Constable. It was the road from Evison's. Cross-evamined by Mr. TEMPLE.—The road is a regular turnpike-road, from Liverpool to London, but not direct to Macclesfield. - - Mary Lea, niece to the deceased, identified the canvas bag produced. She made it for her uncle, and swore to certain peculiarities. Rebecca Morgan, on being recalled, also identified the bag, she having seen the unfortunate gentleman within a few days before his death. Terence Riley keeps a lodging-house in Knutsford. Had known the prisoner some time. On the Sunday before the murder, he arrived in the house at two o'clock •, slept there all night. Fetched him out to go to a public-house. The following night he came in while witness' was in bed. Saw him come in that night; it was about a quarter-past ten. Our clock is a quarter before the regular time. Did not speak to him at all ; witness's wife asked him why he had been so late, and he replied that he had bad six or seven miles to walk. He also said that he had three-quarters of a day. She asked him why he did not sleep in the barn, and he said there was no straw in. She next asked him whether he was going away in the morning, and he said " No; for there's no work for me." She thn desired him to go to bed, and light a candle, which he refused to do, adding, that he knew which way to go. Witness slept below, and did not again see the prisoner until he was in the Knutsford prison. He had a brownish coat on, with bright buttons. Hannah Riley knew Bartholomew Murray. Heard of Mr. Cook's murder ; prisoner slept at our house on the Sun day and Monday nights. This witness corroborated thecon v ersation described by her husband as having transpired be tween the prisoner and her. He was the first to leave the house on Tuesday morning ; it was between four and five. He had paid her a shilling which he owed her, saying that he did not think that he should return, it being his intention to apply for work towards Manchester. Miles Tyson, shopman to his brother, a shoemaker in Tithebarn-street, remembered seeing a person coming into the shop either on Tuesday the 25th or 26th of August. He had on a light jacket and moleskin trowsers ; and sold him a pair of shoes ; had seen the some shoes in Knutsford in September last. By the COURT—Cannot tell whether it was the prisoner or not ; do not recollect his person. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE—There are the initials "J. G." upon our shoes. Cannot swear to any particular day he sold the shoes. None closed in the same name that these are ; nor had we any similarly closed for 12 months or more. _ - 11arper produced the shoes; which he said the prisoner had on when apprehended in Ireland. Mr Burgess, Governor of Knutsford House of Correction, on receiving the prisoner, delivered to Harper, the superin tendent constable, prisoner's shoes, hat, and cnat. Edward Haggerty, clothes dealer, Liverpool, was called to prove having sold the prisoner those clothes on the 25th of August. A book is kept in which entries of sales are made ; in the book there is an entry under date of 25th ; but would not say that those sales were on that day. Those entries were in his own handwriting ; and he believed they were sold on that day. By the Court.—Have only formed that opinion because he found the articles under 25th August. Would not enter them unless they were sold ; do belive that on the day alluded to he sold " trousers, vest, and jacket," and can identify those taken from the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Without the book I could not say when those goods were sold ; independent of the entry I cannot say that I sold them. Re-examination by Mr. COTTINGRAM.—The goods were sold for 17s. ; but independently of the book, could not say when and by whom they were sold. By the Court.—Enters many things sold by other parties those entries are made upon the representation of my shop man. Knows they are come out of our establishment, be cause there is my private mark upon them ; they were, never theless, purchased at our shop. Thomas Keenan said he sold the prisoner a watch, towards the latter end of August ; believes it was on the Tuesday. It was in a lodging-house in Batchelor-street, Liverpool. He said he was going to Dublin ; he paid me a sovereign and four half-crowns. The watch had a steel chain appended to it. He had a bundle with him ; and was dressed in a similar coat to the one he now has on ; and an oil-glazed hat. By the COURT.—Has no recollection about the time of the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Cook. Doesn't know whether he heard of it at the time of this transaction. George Galagley, governor of Cavan Gaol, received the prisoner into his custody on the 31st of August. Received a steel chain from another prisoner, which Murray said was his property. He took 15s. from him, which, with the chain, were delivered over to Harper, the constable. Keenan, recalled.—He believed that was the chain he sold the prisoner. John Lamb, of Dublin city, said he saw the prisoner on the 26th August, on which night he lodged with him. First saw him early in the afternoon. He said he was desirous of purchasing a quantity of hardware ; and witness gave him directions accordingly. He went, and on his return brought a trunk, locked. He desired to know the nearest way to Cavan. He then unlocked the trunk, and took from a card a chain to attach to his watch ; after which he put Isis old clothes inside. Saw several articles of hardware. He left on Wednesday morning, after having changed his clothes. James Lowry, examined by Mr. COTTINGHAM—Prisoner purchased a quantity of hardware from Messrs. M'Douall, of Dublin, on the 26th August, and he paid at least £5 in gold. The prisoner is the man ; he had been making simi lar purchases before. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE—He bought this time last year, to much the same amount. Thomas Farley--Drove a car in August last between Dublin and Cavan ; remembered taking the prisoner to within two miles of the latter place : he paid 6s. He gave change for a 30s note in silver. He took his trunk. William Doherty, of the Cavan police, apprehended the prisoner, in the streets, on the afternoon of the 29th August, and found various small articles, and 15s. in silver. Searched his sister's house, but found nothing. James Battersby, the captain of the Cavan constabulary, received him in charge ; and, after cautioning him about stat- GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Standard-office, Eleven o'clock THE PEOVER MURDER CONTINUED The early part of this trial appeared in our first edi tion, and we were unable to account for the non-arri val of the later portion of the case; but it appears that during the trial the court became so excessively crowd ed and excited, that the Judge commanded the doors to be locked and guarded to prevent either ingress or egress, and our reporter was therefore unable to send us his despatches as we expected. The trial was not over until ten o'clock last night. ing anything which might be prejudicial to him, the prisoner made the following statement :—" For the last three or four months has been working in England, part at Knotty Ash, Prescot, near Liverpool, and latterly with Mr. Sayce, Knuts ford ; that, on Thursday night, the 24th August, he slept in Knutsford, which place he left on the following morn ing, the 25th instant ; walked to Liverpool that day ; sailed to Dublin the same night by steamboat ; arrived in Dublin on Wednesday, the 26th instant, about 12 o'clock at noon ; slept that night at Mr. Lamb's, in Stony Batter ; came down to near Cavan on Mr. Bowles' car on Thursday, the 27th. BARTHOLOMEW MURRAY (his mark)."—ln the jail Battersby said to the prisoner that he wondered at him going to England without being properly recommended. He said that he had had written characters with him, from Mr. Plunkett, Mr. M`Nauncy, and Mr. M`Goverling. On de siring to look at them, he said that they had worn to ribbons in his pocket, and he had either lost them or thrown them away. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE.—Dr. Alpin went into the gaol with me. The doctor had some conversation with him before the last statements were made ; the former state ment the prisoner persisted in making. William Robinson.—He was tenant to the late Mr Cook ; paid him eleven sovereigns on the 13th August last ; he put it in a drawer in a desk in the house. Elizabeth Steel was also a tenant to the late Mr Cook : to the amount of £B. Bs. Paid him £4. 4s. the half-year's rent on the day he was murdered. Mr Harper said it had been tried by the witness Highland, that a person could run from Cook's house to Terence's lodging-house in 25 minutes. Richard Timothy Deane, surgeon, of Knutsford, on being called in on the morning when the bodies were discovered, stated that the body of Mr. Cook was lying opposite the front door. In the course of the day he made an examination of the injuries, and found several severe blows on the right side of the head, and the skull was much fractured. An instru ment like the axe produced would produce these injuries ; indeed, he removed it from the table, it was then so recently wet with blood. Foreman.—My Lord, we have not heard of the injuries which Mr. Cook has received. Mr. COTTINGH Am.—That belongs to the other indictment. His Lordship here recalled the surgeon, who stated that some fractures were apparent upon the left side of Mrs. Cook ; and that those wounds were undoubtedly the cause of death. Mr. TEMPLE then commenced a luminous speech on be half of the prisoner, sifting the whole evidence, but more particularly dwelling upon the extraordinary testimony and the more extraordinary conduct of Harding at the time of the murder, and throughout contending that the whole of the prisoner's conduct was consistent with that of an inno cent man, while the evidence against him was inconclusive and unsatisfactory. _ _ The Learned 'JUDGE then summed up at considerable length, and with great perspicuity ; and The Jury having retired to consider their verdidt, they, at near ten o'clock, pronounced the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP then pronounced, in a solemn manner, the awful sentence of DEATH upon the prisoner. The prisoner denied his guilt : and retired with a firm and unbending gait. EXECUTION OF MISTERS AT SHREWSBURY Josiah Misters, who was convicted, at the Shrewsbury Assizes, before Baron Gurney, of an attempt to murder Mr. Mackreth, at Ludlow, suffered the last penalty of the law at noon on Saturday last. The drop was got in complete rea diness for erection before eight o'clock on Friday evening. The wretched convict had suffered severely in mind since his condemnation. The ravages made in his frame by his men tal suffering had worn his body to a skeleton, and, though he neither uttered a sigh nor dropped a tear, he frequently, after incarceration in the condemned cell, swooned away, and it became necessary to support his sinking frame by sti mulating and nutritious food. He never, from the moment that he was led from the dock, breathed a syllable that could be construed into the most indirect admission of his guilt : on the contrary, he frequently made solemn asseverations of entire innocence. Great exertions had been made by several parties to save the life of the unhappy young man. The petitions of Mr. Mackreth, of Mr. Bird, the foreman of the jury, and of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury were forwarded to the Secretary of State on Monday last. The reply of the Marquis of Nor manby was that he would communicate with Baron Gurney on the subject. The latter and Mr. Justice Coleridge in spected the Angel Inn, at Ludlow, together, when Justice Coleridge is said to have concurred with the learned baron in believing the prisoner guilty. Mr. Ludlow, the gentle man whom, it is supposed, Misters intended to kill, has been indefatigable in his endeavours to obtain a commutation of the sentence. On the morning of Saturday Mr. Peel, the Under-sheriff, and the Governor of the Gaol were early in attendance at the Postoffice, in the hope that a despatch from the Home Office might have arrived, which would alter the aspect of the pri soner's fate. There was no communication of the nature de sired. All idea of respite was immediately abandoned, and the governor had the painful duty of announcing to the young man, that he must prepare for the change that would shortly take place. The announcement did not work any perceptible change in the convict's countenance, which had already be come pinched and angular by suffering. The scaffold was quickly erected, and, as the hour appointed for the execution approached, a dense crowd assembled in front of the gaol. At a quarter to twelve, the first sound of the prison bell gave signal that the work of preparation had commenced. The prisoner was led forth and his arms pinioned, an opera tion which he bore with forced composure. He had slept ill during the night, having frequently started convulsively from his slumbers. At six o'clock that morning, the clergyman had exhorted him, by his hopes of eternal life, to disburden his conscience of any weight that might afflict it. Misters expressed contrition for his past sins, which, he said, had been many ; but called upon God to witness, that he had no hand in the attack on Mackreth. The prisoner's arms having been pinioned, he was led to the scaffold. When at the door of the Turnkey's lodge, which led up to the drop, the unhappy man stopped, and asked if any of the jury were present. He was answered in the negative, when he said, in a subdued tone, " Tell the jury I freely forgive them." He ascended the stairs firmly, preceded by the chaplain, till they came to a room which had been appropriated for the last spiritual consolation of the pri soner. Here the chaplain and he remained for a few minutes, which were spent in devotion. 13 e was then led to the scaf fold, where all being prepared, he shook hands with the turn key, and exclaimed in a firm voice, " Good-bye ! God bless you for all the kindness you have shown me." His manner, to the last, was calm, exhibiting neither unseemly bravado nor pusillanimous dejection. The signal was given and the drop fell. The convict struggled severely for about a minute and a half, and then he apparently ceased to exist. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and placed in a coffin inscribed with his name and age. The multitude, which is described as having behaved with great propriety, quietly dispersed. DESPERATE BURGLARY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER. — Information was yesterday received at the various metropo litan police station-houses that, on the night of Monday, a most desperate burglary and attempt at murder was com mitted at the house of Mr. Simpson, the Dirpley Arms Inn, between Burnley and Bocup, in Lancashire. It appears, that on the night in question the house was entered by two men, who obtained access at the rear. Being heard by Mr. Simpson, he proceeded down stairs, when he was immedi ately knocked down and brutally kicked about the head and face until nearly insensible, when they took from a cupboard about £lO in gold, silver, and copper monies. Mr. Simp son's cries being heard by his son, he came down to his assis tance, when he also was instantly knocked down, and making a determined resistance, a pistol was tired by one of his assailants, the ball from which took effect in his side, and he is now lying in a dangerous state. The fellows then de camped, leaving behind them a hat and a handkerchief, and took the road to Burnley, attempting to rob two men on the road ; after which they were traced to Marsden, and ulti mately to within four miles of Gisbourne, where all further track was lost. One of the men is known to be named Jas. Dickenson, and the name of the other is believed to be Briggs. The first is a notorious poacher, and is dressed as a gamekeeper, and the other in a dark shooting-jacket, breeches, and gaiters. It is supposed that they purpose going to America. A reward of £2O is offered by Mr. Simp son for their apprehension.—Morning Herald. 'bippfng 3intelligenre. FRIDAY, APRIL 2.—Wind W.S.W. light. ARRIVED.—Ann.

I I We have nothing particularly to report of our market than that the same inactivity still charactezizes it as for the last fortnight. The demand is very limited, and consequently buyers continue to have the advantage of daily concessions, which are made in a flat market, even when our quotations remain nominally the same. The quantity sold on Saturday was 2000 bales, and to-day we write upon 200 u to 2500 of all descriptions to the trade. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 5 There is a great scarcity of Fine Butter. and such, commands a long price,—the finest Belfast is well worth 103. On the other hand, inferior qualities are little asked for, and considerable anxiety exists on the part of holders to close sales. New grass Butter may be shortly expected to make its appearance in quantity; such is the splendid vegetation weather which we now so happily experience. Holders of Beef and Pork appear more in clined to meet purchasers. (Accounts from America being more pacific,) and prices may be quoted a shade lower. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 3. With the exception of 7660 quarters of Oats and 7100 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals of British Grain, &c. to this port during the past week have been moderate. The imports from abroad, and entered under bond, comprise 1054 quarters of Wheat, 600 quarters of Beans 9680 barrels of Hour; the latter from the United States. Throughout the week the trade, generally, has ruled dull ; the decline of •id per bushel that occurred in Wheat on Tuesday last has not, however, been followed by any further re duction in the value of the finer qualities of that grain ; but the lower descriptions of Free Foreign, and the general runs of Irish, were yesterday again Id per 781bs cheaper. Flour has also met a limited demand, and holders have latterly shown more desire to press sales; prices have rather given way. Canadian has been sold at 33s to 35s 6d ; United States free at 355 6d to 36s per barrel. Irish extremely difficult to quit, though offered at Is to 2s per sack lower. Oats, with the little increase of supply. are Id per bushel cheaper; 3s ad per. 451 b again the top price for mealu►g. Oatmeal, too, must be quoted 6d per load lower, and both articles have moved slowly. In Barley, Beans or Peas there has been little passing ; each may be be bought on rather easier terms. A cargo of Odessa Wheat has changed hands in bond at ss 3d per 701bs. and about 1300 barrels of United States Flonr have been sold at 23s per barrel. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, APRIL 2 INSOLVENT.
