ALTERATION OP TIIE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS HOUSE.
—Tim magistrate* of the county have at length adopted
roessares for accomplishing an object which has for many
yews hem in contemplation, vie., improvements in the Pee-
elone-leme not only for the better accommodation of the
publics, bat in the arrangement of the offices wherein the
county badness, which is far more considerable than might
be supposed, is carried on, particularly those of the Clerk of
the Pesos and the County Treasurer. The " sanctum" of
the latter may bs compared to a vault, of which the Clerk of
the P forms an upper story. Arrangements have
been made with the City authorities, to whom the site of the
new street at the rear of the &aeons-house :le vested, and
also with the local vestry for an extension of the boundary
of the county property, with the view of enlarging the built.
tug, and plans are in course of preparation, which, when
carried out, will worlds efficient offices for the transaction of
the ordinary business of the county, and good and convenient
courts with proper accommodation for the public, jurors, and
COULD* the want of which has been so long and so justly
complained of, and remove, it is hoped, those obstacles which,
through the peculiar construction of the interior of the build-
ing, have hitherto baffled all attempts to ventilate it as It
should be.

FAILURE OF WATER.—They are reduced to lament-
able straits at Oldham. Ten thousand kettles are on the bob
morning end evening; sa many tea-caddies come forth from
the corner-cupboards; cups and sewers are duly spread upon
the little round tables; end all above ten years old are thirst-
ing for the accustomed three cups a piece. But, lack-a-day,
the great reservoir on the hills has sunk and sunk, during
this unconscionable drought, until at list the authorities
ventitiefe mere driblets of mud, water, worms, and animal-
eel. once a day. From a cup and a half a fortnight back,
the stint is now reduced to half a cup, and that only to
wansa—the men having providently taken to ale. The cot-
tage doors are unwound ; the washing days In Put of ;
rosy cheeks are become grim from acquaintance only with
dry towels; and all the young jackanapeses in the place have
owed roaring from the baturday-night tuba these three
weeks pet. The fact is, the population has far outgrown
the water sandy. Nor is there any way of mitigating the
pratent wafferbitg, far the town stands high and dry, three
maw ant, ken any Neer ; and they its all at their wigs'
ad. look was our advice on getay.—Yesichestsr Ou4r-
dime.

RE:Point or CHURCH WORSHIP.—Tbe Bishop of
Oxford has given permission to his clergy to postpone the
Litany to the afternoon or evening on those Sundays when
the Lord's Supper is administered. When there are after-
noon and evening services the Litany alone may serve es one
of them. Thus the clergy will be delivered from repeating
the same sereites, Lemons and Psalms, twios in the spare of
two or three bourn—Orford Chrotliele.—We ere Informed by
• orevespondent that many clergymen in the dloosseof Wor-
cester omit the Litany when the Sacrament is 'Administered,
and with the permis&n of the bishop.—Bcord.
SUICIDE OF A CLEROYMAN.--On Thursday morn-
ing last, the Bev. H. Moutyn Pryos, a gentleman aged about
60, and °annealed by birth and marriage with some of the
principal families in Montgomeryshire, committed suicide at
Newtown, in that county, under very painful circoroolanoes.
He resided at Ounley, near Montgomery, but on the morn-
ing in question he was at Newtown, and went to the chop of
Mr. llowela, perfumer, to have his hair droned. This bay-
ing boat done, he purchased • raw from Howells, and gave
him • sovereign in payment. Not having anflicient change
in the shop, ha went uptake; for It. and upon his return in a

Arterai Clerpotter, 38, described as a labourer, wu

with the wilful murder of John Starkins.

Mr. Hawkins was specially retained, with Mr. C. Pollock,
to conduct the prosecution. thojeant Parry was also ape-
shay retained, with Mr. Watkin Williams, to defend the
prisoner.
This ma created a good deal of interest on soootmt of the
brutal character of the offence and the other circumstances
connoted with the trituration ; and the court was filled im-
mediately it was opened. In consequence, however, of the
connect strangsments that were made by the county police,
who had the charge of the entrance of the building, there was
an lessoonfasion than would otherwise have taken place.
The homed counsel for the prosecution opened the case
to the Ivry to a very akar and able manner, and having
called thstr attention to the very solemn and important duty
they had to discharge upon the occasion, he remodel(' to
give a arrative of the obounestenose wider which the
was preferred spinet theprisoner. The deceased, In a=
was a young men, gout twenty-two years of age, and at
the time he met his death he was a constable belonging
to the Heels orstabulary, and stationed at Stevenage is this
county. Thep:hoar was a labouring man, residing in a
cottage about half a mile from Stevenage, and at the time of
the transaction he was in the service of Mr. Horne, a farmer,
who oocnpied a firm called Norton Green Farm, about a
mils from the town. It appeared that Mr. Horns had • ens-
price that he was being robbed by someof the persons in his
i service, and that he had made • communkation to that effect
to Mr. Hawks., the inspirer of the constabulary at
Stevenage, and on Friday, the 80th of October,
the den of the murder, the latter had given
the to deceased some instructions to watch
the prisoner as he came from lifework, and ascertain if he had
anything shout him that did not belong to him. The de-
creed appeared to have left Stevenage about five in the
wooing with this object. He was droned in his uniform,
but with, plain great-coat over it ; and it appeared that he
took with him a pair of handcuffs and a stick. The usual
route taken by the prisoner on his way home from hie work
would appear to have been known to him for he was seen
by several persons going straight in the 'direction when ha
would have expected to meet the prisoner and he wu parti-
cuisrly observed at a place called- Wooltiter Common,look-
Z ,in ths direction of a field called Cooper's Beaches field,
tly observing some one he was looking for he
unmade off towards that field. This was about
half-pant five o'clock in the evening, and the unfortunate
remorse neverc=ssen alive. He did not report himself
to his and no information was obtained re-
' spectiagsMW,rand, as he was a very well-conducted man,
and always performed his duties in • regular and proper
manner, his disappearance under such circumstances at
once excited alarm and suspicion, and the Wears of the dis-
trict immediately instituted an active search to ascertain what
had become of him.. No information whatever could be ob-
tained on the Saturday or the Sunday, but on the following
Monday morning • constable named legate, who was exa-
mining the Cooper's Brachos field, had his attention attracted
to a deep pond in that field, and upon going to it he saw a
foot and ha of • man projecting from the water, sad upon
the body being taken out of the pond it proved to he that of
the as to deceased. It presented a frightful
There were several severe cuts on the throat, which=
the ear of nearly erring the head from the body, and
there were other marks of violence on the face of the deceased
which left no doubt that • most foul and brutal murder
had bent committed. Upon exemining the field, eta distance
of about twenty yards from the pond, there was found to be
a large space covered with blood, as though • sheep or some
oar animal had been slengletred and there was no doubt
thee at this spot the diesmeed received the Jejune* that caused
his death, and the ground prorated the appearance sathmgh
some beery body had been dragged from that spot to the
prod. At a short distance ham this place there were also
that weld be prorated by a •
stru=atraaldanliplaos ; and at the same spot than wdelesruand
strewed woo the ground shout a pint or • pint and-a-half of
wheat, sod some portion also appeared to have been trodden
into the esrth during the streak. Between them two
clams the handcuffs of the deceased, open, and his stick,
were picked up. The prisoner occupied one of several cot-
tages a Mott distance from the town of Stevenage, and it
that he wee in the habit of leaving his work about
apps
I-71 five o'clock, and as ths distance to his cottage was
about • mile, ft would not have occupied more than twenty,
or at most twenty-five minutes to get from his mater's farm
to his own oottage. It appeared that on the
of the murder he had -been at work in lIITIMZ
milled the Railway Field, snd he lea off at •
quarter past five, and at this tines he appeared to have
nothing the matter with him, and he was seen by several
arrgoing towards the Cooper's Beaches field, and the
tlas
that wee observed of him was when he was walking
through a turnip field which adjoined the field above
mentioned, and there appeared to be no doubt that this was
about half-pad five o'clock, and that the deceased was close
to this spot about the same time on the look-out for the pri-
soner, and that they must have met; and there was also no
doubt that at this time the prisoner had in his possession
some red wheat that was the property of his master, and the
suggestion on the part of the prosecution was, that the pri-
soner committed the dreadful sot in order to prevent Ms
apprshenclon upon the chugs of robbing his mister
of this wheat. According to the time when the prisoner
left his work on the evening in question, he should have arrived
at his own cottage by hall-past five or twenty-five minutes to
idx o'clock; bat from the period when he was last men,
when he was getting over a gap into the field where the
dead body was discovered, nothing more was observed of him
until five or ten minutes past six o'clock, when he was seen
to go into his cot ge by the back way, very lame, and appa-
rently in great m.bg. At this time hs had on an old
smock-frock and a wide-awake hat, and very soon afterwards
his:::::+vo an alarm that he had met with some reocl:ds.Z
sod a bow and fellow-labourer of the prisoner,
upon going into his yard, found him upon the
ground, in a very extraordinary position, with • log of wood
upon one of his lege. He, however, very easily n-
mov and the suggestion was that this was merely a
scheme resorted to by the prisoner to account for some severe
injuries which he had evidently recently received upon the
leg ; and there was also this remarkable caransmtance that
the prisoner, during the abort period he had been home, ap-
peared to have taken off all his old clothes, and had put on
his Sunday smock-frock and hat. On the following morns
the prisoner appeared to have gone to his work as
but he was unable to continua at it, and he returned home
anti•
and although at that time the body had not been found,
there was no suspicion that so foul • deed had been com-
mitted, it would seem that an impression was at once enter-
tained that the prisoner was in some way connected with the
disappearance of the unfortunate man, and Mr. Hawke*, the
inspector, went to him and inquired of him which way he
had come home from hie work on the Friday night, and he
said he had gone through Ounnell's Wood, and in at the
frost of his cottage, a statement which was distinctly proved
to be false. Upon the discovery of the body, the prisoner
wu at once apprehended and his clothes were taken porn-
sion of, and they wore submitted to chemical examination by
Professor Taylor, who distinctly discovered stains of blood
upon the breeches, gaiters, and shirt of the prisoner, and the
latter also appeared to have been torn from the gathers, ap-
r=tly by some violent struggle. A basket yam also
in the prisoner's cottage upon which there were
marks of blood, sad there was also in it • small quantity
of wheat of the same kind at that found in the field at the
spot when the death-struggle took place, and the evidence
went to show that on the day before the murder the prisoner
and sores other labourers were engaged in sowing wheat on
one of Mr. Horne's fields, and as they had not got enough to
complete the job, the prisoner was sent to the farm to get
some more front the bulk, and it was supposed that he took
this opportunity of secreting some for himself, it being posi-
tively stated that the wheat found in the Cooper's Braches
field, that in the prisoner's basket, and the bulk that wen on
the premises of the prisoner's muter, were all of the same
description. Upon the prisoner being asked for his knife, it
appeared that he stated be bad given it to his son, and upon
posoession being obtained of It, the knife presented the ap-
pearance of having been washed perfectly clean, but on being
taken to pieces a spot of blood was found under the handle.
The old smock-frock that was supposed to have been worn
by the prisms, on the night of the murder, it appears, has
never been discovered, but, after the prisoner was in
custody, a troth search wu made in his cottage, and In a
cupboard there weft found some remnants of a smock-frock,
supposed to have been • portion of the one in question, and
upon then there were stains of blood. The learned counsel
ooncladed by stating that since the assizes had commenced
a fresh piece of evidence had been obtained, in a statement
made by the prisoner himself; and he said it appeared to
him that, if he should succeed in establishing it to the satis-
faction of the jury, it would leave them no alternative but to
convict the prisoner of the awful crime imputed to him, as
it seemed to him that it amounted to an admission of his
guilt.
There were thirty warms to be examined far the proee-
claim, and at a late boar the trial was adjourned.
