NORTH HANTS ELECTION.

The tenant farmers of the northern divition of
Hampshire are in open revolt against their landlords ; they
have got a candidate of their own, Mr. Shaw, of the Mark
Lam Express, in opposition to the freefolk squire, Mr.
Portal, who expected to walk quietly over the wane. Both
candidates are conservative and protectionists, but Mr. Shaw
is far more explicit in his sentiments then his opponent. In
hie address, Mr. Shaw declares himself battle to the
unjust and partial manner in which the impu-
tes is imposed en the tenant fanner. He is an
advocate for the reveal of the malt and hop duties,
and has been mainly instrumental in bringing the
principle of tenant-right under the notice of the agricultural
community, the general adoption of which be regards as the
Magna Charts of the independence of the British farmer,
and promises to persevere unceasingly until its general recog-
nition be obtained. In conclusion he declares his attachment
to the protestant character of the established church, and op-
posed to any endowment to the church of Rome, on whi. h
rubjeet his opponent had said nothing. On Wednesday,
Mr. Shaw addressed a lime body of farmers and others at
the market at Basingstoke, and on Thursday throe who a*-
tended the Alresford. His frimds, the tenant-farmers, in
general, are sanguine of sumo. Yesterday an active can-
vass war commenced in Winchester in behalf of both candi-
dates. The ceneervatiees of the city wi 1 in general support

THE MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.
CAPTUIII OP TES SUPPOSED ASSASSIN.

A second edition of the Liverpool Mercury, dated
Thursday night, 12 p.m., says—
John Gleason Wilson, apprehended to-night, has just been
ordered by Mr. Dowling to be locked up on the charge of
wilful murder. A person answering his description called
at the house of Miss Harrison. 19, Upper htt-street, or.
Wednesday afternoon, and asked for lodgings, and the same
afternoon he offered a gold watch for isle at Trinmere
The mother of Mrs. Henrichson, who suited in town from
Hull to-night, has identified the watch and chain found in
the pomades of the prisoner as those belonging to her
daughter. A purse also found upon the prisoner has been
identified by the charwoman who was in the habit of washing
at the house as the property of Mrs. Henrichron. The prisoner
stated he boughttha purse at Bristol, and also one of the shirts
of which he had three on his back, ens of them having
lately
.undergone partial washing about the deems. Mr.
Superintendent Clough having cautioned the prisoner,
told him he was charged with the wilful murder of two
children. He replied, in a half careless, half impetuous
manner, "I am 'studied to stand my trial for it." Mr.
Dowling ordered the prisoner to strip. and stains of
blood were found upon his bleak silk hankerchief.
As before stated, be bad three shirts on, his trouser',
cap, and neckerchief were new. On Wednesday
evening he lodged in a house in Porter-street, in this
town, where he had given a shirt stained with blood to be
washed. Mike? Toole went to this house after
his apprehension, and there found a hat with crape on
This hat answered exactly the description given in the
bills, and when placed on the head of the prisoner, con-
siderably changed his personal appearance. When the
bat was shown to him, he said, "That is mine ; I'll prove
it." The prisoner has only been married a few months. He
left his wife at Mr. Lewis's house, Lower Tranmere, about
two months ego, and where he had been since his friends
were not aware, although they heard he had him at Lon-
don, Bristol, and other places. When asked where he got
the trousers he wore, the prisoner said, " That is for you to
find out." The boy from whom he took the potatoes at the
door, now speaks positively to the prisoner; and, on seeing
the difference in the countenance which is made by substi-
tuting the bat for the cap, there is no wonder that a mistake
at first in the identity should be the consequence. Late as
the hour was, the news of the apprehension of the sup-
posed murderer spread through the town, and there was
a considerable number of persons in the neighbourhood of
the police-eine. Mr. Dowling, at the tints the news
reached him, was at the Collegiate Institution hearing Jenny
Lind, and when the intelligence was conveyed to him, it soon
was whispered about that an important communication had
reached the head constable, and considerable sensation was
evinced in the ball.

The prisoner appeared exceeding restless and confused.
The fingers and thumbs of his hands he moved quickly to-
gether, and although when the bat was brought into his pre-
mium he betrayed little change in his countenance, all his
former levity disappeared. When asked to what country ho
belonged he replied, to Tipperary, and added that he was a
fitter, The prisoner has a country look, and speaks thickly.
That plunder was one of the objects of the murderer no
doubt now exist*.
