CONFESSION OF THE MURDERERR.

The mystery which for some time shrouded the
horrible minter committed at Embleton a fortnight ago has
now been dispelled by the confession of George Cass, Mr.
Fears.' hushandtnan, whose apprehension on suspicion we
announced yesterday. Soon after being locked up, Cass ex-
pressed a desire to see the chief constable. Hr. Dunne
went to him, when Cass toll him that he wished to make
• statement about the murder. Mr. Dunne sent imme.
diately for Mr. Waugh. the magistrates' clerk, and his as-
sistant clerk, and in the presence of these three gentle-
men, Can confessed that he had murdered Ann Sewell.
He said that when he returned from the field for ►is mare
the girl asked him something about mending her clog
for her. He would not comply with her request ; she there-
fore called him names and threw the table knife at him,
the hasdle of which struck him under the eye. He threw
it back at her sad it struck her throat end cut it.
She then told him that since be had gone so far he had
better smarrier her altogether. He seised the knife again,
and setting upon her committed the deed with which he
sow stands charged. It also ►ppears, front the prisoner's
cosafeesion, that after be had murdered the girl he robbed
bee. A move-reign and • half crown have been found •1.%
with the girl's purse, the two latter bearing marks like blood
stains. The half-crown was obtained from Mrs. Johnston,
the landlady at the public-house at EaglesSeld, where the
prisoner and his tether spent • @lulling of it on the Wed-
nesday after the murder. The sovereign was found in the
pommies of the prisoner's mother ; sod the purse was
discovered buried twelve inches below the ground at Sou-
gill, Bromley You, near to the desolate shores of Lowe's
Water. From this It would seem that the murderer had
rifled the box of his victim while his hands were still reek-
ing with ber blood. Some of the prisms". statemeuts
must, however, be looked upon with suspicion in the mean-
time. For instance, it seems stooge that his face bore no
mark of • blow. The coins, along with the clothes which
the prisoner says he wore when the murder was committed,
have been forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis ; far
although Cars Las confessed his guilt, It will be seminary
to have the evidence made out fully against him.

A Vienna letter of the sth says :—" Yesterday
and the day before two demonstrations took place at Path,
which were quite orderly, but, nevertheless, fully prove
that the public feeling remains th•w same. The first was a
performance at the Academy of Music and Declamation for
the benefit of the starving inhabitants of Croatia. Though
the prices of admission were five times higher than
usual, the house was crowded to exam, and every-
body wore the national costume. The receipts
amounted to 50,000 fiorim. On the following
day took place the funeral of the student who
diet in consequence of the wounds he had received in the
,li.turb.anee of the 15th ult. Allove 60,000 persons followed
the rorbqc. Several noblemen of the highest families, ac-
companied by their wives, went before the hearse. The
whole population lined the road from the deceased's resi-
dence to the cemetery. Sever-AI addresses were delivered
over the grave ; the national patriotic cries were raised,
and taken up enthusiastically by the crowd, but there was
