TRE MURDERS AT W ALM' t MTH.
CONVICTION 01, THIS MURIAKES.

William Godfrey Younonan, 25, tailor, was inilictell
for the wilful murder of Mary Wells Streeter. There
were also three other indictments against him for the
wilful murder of his mother And his two brother.. Mr.
Clerk prosecuted on the part of the Crown ; and Mr.
Beat, of the Oxford Circuit, defended the prisoner. Mr.
Clerk occupied one I and a quarter in the delivery of
Isis Andreas, and during the whole of the time the
prisoner never for a moment removed his eyes from oil
the learned gentleman. On the conclusion of the speech
the prisoner commenced taking notes of the evidence in
the coolest manner imaginable, sod continued so occu-
pied during the progress iif the trial. The only
tional feature in the case was that elicited from his
father, who stated that his wife's mother had died a
lunatic, and that his brother had also been confined in a
lunatic asylum for • long time. The case for the prose-
cution having closest, and Mr. Best haring made an
ingenious speech for the defence, and the learned judge
having immured up the evidence, the jury at ten minutes
put six retired to consider their verdict, and, after an
absence of five minutes, returned into court with • ver-
dict of "Guilty." The primner was then asked if lie
had anything to say why sentence of death should not be
paws' upon him, when lie reviled in a firm voice, " 1
am not guilty." The learned judge then passed men-
; knee of death in the usual manner, and ordered the
pritioner to be handed over to the custody of the Sheriff
of Surrey. The execution will take place at Home-
' monger-lane Gaol. The prisoner appeared to be the
; most unconcerned in the whole Court, and walked from
I the dock with the most stolid indifference.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

On Friday afternoon last it was discovered that a
murder had been committed at No. 9, Grove-road,
Stepney, a short distance front the Tower Hamlets
Cemetery, Bow-road.
It appears that the deceased was a widow lady named
Mary Emsley, aged about 70 years, who up to the time
of her death was in possession of immense landed
property, situated at Stratford, Bow, Bethnal-green,
Victoria Park, and other parts fif the east end of the
metropolis. She bad a number of agents and collectors,
who were carrying her large 'unix of money weekly.
arising front rents and other property which she held
since the death of her husband, a large contractor and
brickinaker, well known at that part of Loudon for his
eccentric habits.
The deceased had not. been seen ny the neighbours for
some flaya, and • collector named Walter Elam, sent his
son, as far back as Tuesday morning last, for two brass
taps which he was to put on to two waterbutts at two
of her houses. The boy called, and each flay since
Emma had repeatedly sent and called, but after various
visits, and knocking on each occasion loudly, no one
answered the door. Emma accordingly communicated
the fact to Mr. Rose, the deceased's solicitor, of Change.
alley, Cornhill, who, with Mr. Whittaker and another
gentleman named Faith,procetaled to the house, in com-
pany with • police-constable of the K division. They
climbed the wall and made an entry at the back door.
They searched the lower part of the house, which
seemed in considerable confusion, and upon reaching
one of tl.e rooms on the second floor they discovered the
deceased lying dead, with the top part of her bead
forced in. There was a large wound of the scalp. 1111,1
I blood had flowed copiously from the injury, which had
been inflicted a flay or two by sonic hard sulistanee.
The floor was besmeared with blood, and it is supposed
that the deceased had been killed by some burglars who
had entered the premises to get her cask The de-
ceased kept large sums in the house, although she bad
an account at one of the city banks.
A nieraenger was immediately sent for Mr. Gill, a sur.
geon of the flow-road, and other gentlemen, but they
were unable to render any assistanne.
Subsequently Inspectors Kerrisey and Haynes, of the
K dieinion. proceeded to the house and made a minute
search, and it is fully believed that the deceased had
been murdered by some burglars, who hail taken away a
large sum of money. The deceased's boxes and drawers
had, no doubt, been ransacked by the thieves, and a
great amount of property had been removed.
The deceased lived alone and had no servants, but she
was well known as of miserly habits, dirty, and intent.
perate, although she was • woman who carried on exten•
sire dealings with energy and acuteness.
The deceased was in the receipt of an income fruits her
property amounting to about }.:5,000 per annum.

HUMAN SACRIFICM AT DAHOMEY.

The following account of what was °epoxied to take
place at Dahomey is contained in a West African news-
pair :—" His Majesty Badehung, King of Dahomey, is
about to make the ' Grand Custom' in honour of the late
King Gene. Determined to surpass all former monarch'
in the magnitude of th° ceremonies to be performed on
this occasion, Radahung has made the most extensive
preparations for the celebration of the Grand Custom.
A great pit has been dug, which is to contain human
blood enough to float a canoe. Two thousands persons
will be sacrificed on this occasion. The expedition to
Abeakouta is postponed, but the King has sent his army
to make some excursions at the expense of some weaker
tribes, and has succeeded in capturinginany unfortunate
creature'. The young people among these prisoners wi I
be sold into slavery, and the old persons will be killed
at the Grand Custom. Would to God this 'night meet
, the eyes of some of those philantrophic Englishmen who
have some feeling for Africa! Oh, for some man of
eloquence and influence to point out to the people of
England the comparative uselessness of their expense°
squadron out here, and the enormous benefit that must
result to this country, and ultimately to England herself,
morally and materially, if she would extend hor
lishments on this coast! Take away two-thirt 501 your
squadron, and spend one-half its cost in creating wore
stations on shore, and greatly strengthening your old

A STRAII.CARRIAGR FOR COMMON ROADS.— Last
week the Earl of Caithness, accompanied by the Coun-
tess, tried his Lewly-invented steam land-carriage. It
was market-day at Inverness, and the usual throng had
collected, but the machine was steered through with the
greatest freedom from danger. It could be stopped more
quickly than an ordinary vehicle, and a distance of 14
miles was accomplished iii little noire than an hour. I
After • short stay his Lordship again started, and ac-
complished a successful journey to lionar•bridge, a dis-
tance of 20 miles from the startitirpoint. The result of
the experiments hut more than answered the expecta-
tions of its warmest promoters, and left no doubt as to
the machinA being not only practicable but useful when
so applied.

bridge, crying "murder' must lustily. Fortunately
some haymakers on the opposite side hearing their
cries took a boat and speedily went to their rescue,
when one of the women exclaimed, "If ever I get
ashore alive, you'll never catch me at sea again."
The water at the place where the accident occurred
was about 12 feet deep.

AUSTRIA.

Rumours of the probsbility of an open rupture
bet wren Austria and Piedmont are gaining strength,
both at Paris and Vienna. It is *tinted that Count
Itechherg Las addressed note to M. Cavour recapitula-
ting :ill the events that have taken place in Southern
Italy since the spring, aril establishing a complicity on
the Part .if the Sardinian Government with Garibaldi.
Count Heebbs rg declares that, if the army of Sicily
invades the territory of Naples, Austria will consider it
a egoista:lli. The Opinione, howevet, denim that any
such letter has been received.
The Special Constitutional Committee of the Austrian
Council of the Empire have, in a private sitting. by IS
against 3 votes, decided for a federal form of government
and separate Constitutions for each single province, 1111
proposed by the Hungarian tnenibers.
It is reported from Ppsth that the Viennese Govern-
ment has deviled that public affairs and justice may be
administefed in the different provinces of Hungary in
the language of the population, instead of in German,
as heretofore.

WORCESTER HOP-MARKET, MG. 17.

We are unable to report anything more favourablv of
the growing crop this week. The weather has been
most unfavourable. With the exception of two day. ID
the beginning of the week, we have had continued cold
rains, and the bine is looking most unhealthy and black-
ened with vermin. There can he but a very small
harvest of hops, and these will be of interior quality and
gathered very late. Of course this continues to affect
the market, and prioes have again advanced. Old hops,
11457 and 1855, are being inquired for, and some have
n sold, but generally those who hold them seem
determined to keep them longer, In the expect/Won of

Tits: 78rii HuaiLANDER:4.—On Thursday I stumbled
on a touching and very interesting scene. I happened
to take a step up to the esplanade at the castle when the
781.11 were drilling. Before I had been lung there Colonel
Ewart made the regiment form three sides of a square.
Ile then addressed them nearly in the following words:
—"Colonel Hamilton, Colonel M'lntyre, officers, and
men of the 711th Highlanders, I have the pleaaure of an-
nouncing to you that the medals for which you fought so
hard, and which you won so nobly in Irdia, are now
about to lw preeented to you. I had not the honour to
be with you when you gained those medals, hut I may
take thin liberty of saying that never were medal* more
hardly earned than these. I hope you may have a clasp
or two added to them, for you deserve this ; I hope
those in authority nosy grant threw elan.% at an early
date. The medals will be distributed by one of whose
presence you are not probably aware—the widow of him
who so gallantly led you—lady Havelock." Officers
were then ordered to the front; medal-men take six
paces to the front. The box containing the medals was
the% opened, and Lady Havelock, who was accompanied
by her two daughters and a young son, presented the
medals &at to the officers and then to the men. Lady
Havelock, accompanied by her family and Col. Ewart,
walked along the front rank, and then passed between
the lines, and the ceremony ended.—Ayr 06tterivr.

A short, but animated discussion took place upon
the declaration of Lord GRANVILLE that t..IIIOTrOW 110
intended to move the suspension of the resolution
against reading Bills a second time after a certain day

remembored that the maillition of urgency for con-
sidering this Bill, moved by the Luke of Argyll, woo
rejected a few nights ago,—a rejection considered by
several noble lords tantamount to throwing the Ihll

YEOVIL BAZAAR.—The Bazaar concluded on
Friday, the 111th inst. The total amount realized
on %Volute,.lay was £111•", on Thursday £l7h, and
on Friday between 1:90 and £lOO. several articles
remained undisposed of, which it is intended shall
remain until a future period, awl arrangements
will be made for their conversion into cash. We
understand from head quarters that after paying all
expenses the restoration may reckon upon receiving
the handsome and unexpected sum of £5OO. Too
much praise cannot be offered to thee° in connection
with the Bazaar. Every plan awl arrangement was
most successfully carried into effect, and the affair
was conducted with the greatest spirit of harmony.
The band of the Yeovil Rides attended ou each
occasion, and their perfortuance gave the utmost
satisfaction. Of the lady patnneades present were
Lady Medlycott, Lady Acland Hood, Ilrs. Wood,
and Miss Neal. Baffling for various articles com-
menced the first day and continued until the last
thing on Friday. The weather at the commence-
ment of Wednesday was most unfavourable, but
during the day it cleared up, and continued fine
until Friday evening between five and six o'clock,
when it poured down in torrents, thus putting a
premature end to the business of the day. The
ladies quiekly cleared their reaptvtire stalls, and it
was not long before most of them were in their ow-
nage* towards home. The farm produce realized
the handsome EOM of £25. The articles were given
by the farmers of the town and neighbourhood.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Caution to larni,r4.—An
accident, which providentially did not inflict injury
upon any human being or animal, occurred on Satur-
day, on the journey up of the one o'clock Great
Western express traiu from Weymouth. When
nearing lilmtmer-hill crossing, a cart with a horse
attached, belonging to Mr. Abel Whittle, of Maiden
Newton, in charge of a ladovas observed to be cross-
lug the line. Steps Were at once taken to stop
the train, hut so great was the speed that, ere this
could be effected, the cart was doubled up like a
piece of pasteboard, while the passengers and even
the guards were not aware of the accident. The
horse, when the cart was struck, bounded forward,
and thus saved its life, and the lad also managed to
escape.

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia has addressed the following
reseript to the Lieutenant-Governor of the Caucasus :
The orthodox Christian faith mice prevailed in those
Nits of the CAUCUSU. where Islamism now reigns. Nu-
merous traces of Christianity still exist in the moun-
tains of that region, where some remnants of the faith
have been preserved. Wishing, noa that the Caucasus
lii,l.cen subdued, to re-establish the orthodox creed- -•
but by jarsuasion, and propagating the Gospel in the
mountain districts- —we have deemed it advantageous to
call ;ill those who have the orthodox cause at heart to
e.....perate in the great work. For thins purpose we have
instituted a special association, under the name f the
Society for the Re-establishment of the Orthodox Chris-
tian Faith in the Caucasus, and have sanctioned the
statutes of the society, as drawn up by yin and ca-
rmine .1 by the Council of the Caucasus. Iler Majesty
the Empress, warmly interested in the progress of
orthodoxy in the Caucasus, has taken this association
under her especial protection. In transmitting to you
the rules of the society, with our sanction, we confide to
you the duty of taking the measures necessary for com-
mencing its operation-, hoping that under your Ili MC-
t 1011, it will happily effrsi the object for which it was
liiotitutsid. We invoke the protect. of the providence
of God upon the efforts of dm society.
