MURDER, SUICIDE, &e.

THE MURDER AT STEPNEY.—NO light has yet been
thrown on this murder. It is said that not long ago
the murdered woman had intimated to a friend her in-
tention to devote most of her wealth to the endowment
of an almshouse after her death, and it is said she con-
sulted her solicitor as to the preparation of a will
carrying out her views in that and other respects, bat
her violent death supervened before the wish was
embodied in legal form. About the beginning of this
month she bought £l6O worth of paper-hangings, part
of a bankrupt's stock, which she kept stored in her
house in Grove-road; and it is thought that this had
something to do with her death, the suggestion being
that the murderer had obtained admission to her house
on the pretence of buying some of the paper, and that
it was while a bargain was being made for it that she
received the blow which deprived her of life.

EXECUTION OF THE EMBLETON MURDERP.R.
George Cass, sentenced to death at the late Carlisle
assizes, for the murder of Ann Sewell, at Embletoa, was
hanged on Tuesday at twelve o'clock. The unfortunate
man has throughout maintained a demeanour consistent
with that of a penitent. On Friday he was visited for
the last time by his friends. A girl with whom he was
formerly intimate was one. His three brothers and
three sisters were the others. On Friday the convict
made the following confession :

I was smoking my pipe after dinner, and, about three o'clock,
Ann Sewell began to call me ugly names, and told me about
my bastard child. She said everybody hated me. She then
'threw some cinders at me out of the grate. I jumped up and
got held of a knife that was on the table. I got hold of her by
the shoulder, and cut her throat. After I saw the blood I
wished I had not done it. I thought I could not mend it, so I
cut her throat again. I then went up stairs and changed my
shirt and breeches. I washed my waistcoat. I then went into
a lower room to see if anyone was coming. I then went into
her bedroom and looked in her box. There was a purse. I
took it. There was a sovereign and Is. 6d. in it. I gave the
sovereign to my mother.

There was a very great gathering of people in the
neighbourhood of the scaffold some hours before the
time fixed for the execution ; and it was rumoured that
cheap excursion- trains had been run to Carlisle on the
occasion. The sad procession having ascended the scaf-
fold, the executioner produces the white cap and black
rope—emblems of his craft. The former he slips on the
head of the criminal, amid the shudderings of the people
and the tears of not a few. The latter he fastens to the
chain and then round the victim's neck—the prisoner
seeming to give all the assistance, by ready compliance,
in his power. Calcraft descends below, the chaplain
advances and shakes the prisoner's hands—there stands
the prisoner alone ; the silence of the crowd may be fel t—
a moment mores a shadow flies over the scene, as though
the sun were ashamed thereof, and George Cass falls and
dies, His death struggles are not of long continuance—
s few jerks of the lower portion of his body—some
twistings of the whole person, and he stills and stiffens,
for he is dead At one o'clock, until which time many
people lingered itz the neighbourhood, the body was cut
down and interred within the precincts of the gaol.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—Last Tuesday, a woman,
named Rebecca Stephens, 40 years of age, who kept a
general shop, at No. 8, Wellington-place, Stepney, com-
mitted a determined act of suicide. The deceased, who
was a very industrious woman, was the mother of eight
children, who lived with her. She had been a widow
for about three years, and for some time past cohabited
with a man named Sundergreen. Some differences with
her paramour and pecuniary embarrassment had preyed
on her mind. A fortnight ago she mixed some oxalic
acid in a bottle, and was about to swallow the deadly
liquid when she was prevented by her son, who threw
away the stuff and rinsed the bottle with water. In the
absence of her own children, And four more beloning to
Sundergreen, she effectually poisoned herself with a dose
• of oxalic acid.

VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF THE TEETH.
The Teeth infi.uence the form and expression of the
countenance more than is generally imagined, and the finest
face is disfigured if the Teeth are irregular, and a dii-
'agreeableexpression is produced.
When the Teeth are good and regular, there is, when
speaking or smiling, a tzscination present which prevents
further examination of the countenance.
The moat striking cases are those persons about the
middle period of life who have lost their Tecth ; for, how-
ever clear
and, perfect their utterance may have been
before their less, it is. impossible to regain it without sup-
plying the deficiency by means of Artificial Teeth.
