SUSPECTED MURDER AT NEWCASTLE-ETON-TYNE.
—On Monday afternoon an inquest was held at the Gosforth
Arms Inn, Newcastle, before the coroner, J. .1. Stoker,
Esq., upon the body of John Bell, an auctioneer's clerk.
From the evidence that was given, it appear' that on Sun-
day evening, between ten and eleven o'clock, a man of the
name of Ilenry Waters who is the occupier of a small
kitchen in a house in Wesley-street, ran from the house, and
asked a poi ice officer to come in and turn ammo out. The aeon
proceeded at once into the kitchen, when Waters pointed be.
hind a bed, and said something which was unintelligible. The
officer then I..oked to the spot to which his attention had been
directed, and saw the deceased with his back on the fender,
his left cheek resting on the edge of a chair, and his right
hand on the floor. Ile had all his clothes on. The officer
lifted him up, and found that he was quite dead, upon
which he said to Waters, " The man is dead, what has been
to do /" Waters replied, " Well, he struck my wife, a..d
then"—he made a pause, and continued—" but I did no-
thing to the men." A surgeon was immediately sent for,
and Waters left the room. During the absence of the
latter, his wife, who had been sitting upon the
steps leading to the kitchen, said to another officer,
who asked her if there had been any mischief. "The de-
ceased struck at me, and my husband struck at him again."
Waters and his wife both seemed the worse for drink, and
glasses of whisky were standing upon the table. The
fender upon which the deci seed lay was at some distance
from the fire-place; and the poker, tongs, and shovel lay in
different parts of the room. 'The foregoing evidence having
been given, the coroner said it would be necessary to ad-
journ the inquest in order to have a post modem examina-
tion of the body, previous to examining the remaiuder of
the witnesses, as it would depend upon the result of that
examination in what way they should continue their in-
quiries. The iciquest was then adjourned until Wednesday.
The deceased was 5.5 years of age. Waters is in custody on
the charge of murder, and will be detained until the in-
quest is concluded.
DR. NEWMAN.—A correspondent says that a tire'-
culsr letter from Cardinal Wiseman was read on Sunday at
all the Roman catholic chapels in London, requesting the
congregations to contribute towards the expenses of the
late trial. The means to he used for carrying out this ob-
ject are left to the discretion of the priests, and in most
plaoes a collection will be made after each of the 'services of
next Sunday. The letter states that Dr. Newman's ex-
penses amount to 7,5001., and that of this 2,5001. has been
already collected.
THE BERESFORD BRIBERY CASE.—DERRY, MON•
nee.—The legal gentlemen engaged in preliminarily inves-
tigating the charge of bribery at the late election in this
borough have, it is said, obtained a greet deal of important
evidence, among other things a number of letters from the
Secretary at Wsr, in addition to the one already before
the public, intimately connecting him with the recent
corruptions, and evidencing a very close intimacy be-
tween himself and Frail, of Shrewsbury. Tho evidence
to be adduced before a oommianion of inquiry will un-
fold many interesting facts, not the least interesting
of which will be the manner in which the doings of
the corruptionists were brought to light. To show
that no efforts calculated to frustrate the " knavish
tricks " of their opponents were spared by the libe-
rals, wo may observe that detectives from London,
obtained at their instigation, were in the town, both
during the election and for a week previous, dis-
guised as commercial travellers, and were located
at the hotels selected as head-quarters by the tory party.
Moot of the men employed in bribing the electors Wee.
strangers from Nottingham and Liverpool, but chiefly from
the town last named, where it is believed they had been
practising their nefarious arts for some days previously in
favour of Messrs. Turner and Mackenrie. Mr. Fonshaw,
Mr. lionfall's solicitor, has for some days been at the
King's Head Hotel in Derby, endeavouring to get up a
counter case, but without success, the liberal party having
throughout steadily abstained from illegsl methods of ob-
taining votes. As soon as Sharrack, the man who im-
peached the tory agents for having bribed him with two
sovereigns, hod finished giving his evidence, he was served
with the notice required before recovering the penalty im-
posed by the recent act upon parties receiving bribes, and
it is believed this foolish proceeding is likely to be carried
on, regardless of the fact that the plaintiffs in the case are
exposing many of their own friends to the certainty of hav-
ing to contend with similar actions in retaliation.
THE EFFECTS OF EMIORATION.—We learn that
on account of a considerable number of agricultural
labourers in the Cam having engaged for passages for
Australia, the farmers there held a meeting last week to
consider what ought to be done under the circumstances.
It appears that the farmers are Reprehensive they will not
be able to find hands to supply the deficiency on the depar-
ture of their men for the golden region, which will take
place at next term. Front what we heard of the interim-,
the farmers, although they came to no definite conclusion,
seriously considered the n comity they would be under of
raising the wages of the men to prevent inconvenience in
eke working of their ferms.—Perni Courier.
