WO THE EDITOR.

As thou did me the favour to insert in thy widely cir
totaling Paper, a copy of my letter, addressed .to
Earl of I):rity, as Lent Lieutenant of this County, 1 sou
Wood. I think, iii justice to Imo, through the same me-
dium to state, that I hate ewithin the last few days, re-
(Toed two most friendly and-satisfactory Ai:tires. The
anst containing an assurance that no such letter eve&
leached his or, as he is pleased to say, the "cha-
racter of we waiter, its Well its the leuttuleul 1/111.1k05.
of the kites itself, would have insured an earlier notice."

Toe Noble Earl appears coot inced, that 90111 C steps

iiant, consistent with his official ditty, call such a Meet-
ing, yet, if the benevolent pin% ose be I iglu' about,
wider better auspires than his, he will lie
to contribute largely to us furtherance and tour's."
.4 regret most exceedingly that I ant not at liberty to
publish these letters, because the benevolence and fellow
luting displayed in every line of them, adds dignity to
the high rank he holds, and would afford no small de-
gree to consolation to the stifferma multitudes, who art•
taught to believe that wen, in the higher walks of life,
are regardless of their privations nod din'et'tes.
The %violet us fast approaching, when the difficulties
with winch the I/00f t'filltelltl will Ile notch
slicrea.cil: it is, therefore, imperative uvon the leading
men itt the several Alannfatturitist Districts, without a
111111 l ems del sy, to convene Meetings (as some have al-
'ratty done) for the purpose of devising the best means
of allowing relief to those win stand tat need of it; and
It cannot be WO strongly reel ttttttt curled, or too often re
(seated. that there is no tuissilolity of efl. dually uiuelinK
the difficohy without first ascertaining its magnitude and
imixwtance, and this can wily 1w done by a foil and int-
venial examination into the sittiatirm and circumstances
of the labouring pact► in the several timuslacitinint

denied, and upon being asked if any cne had been at the house,
she replied " NO." The girl was, however, taken into custody
on suspicion : and na Monday afternoon. we are informed. Olt
confessed to the constable of Kenilworth, that she commttted the
murder. She stated that she went into the pantry, and began 14
cut some cucumbers and onions fin supper : while elle was doing

diately left the encumbers, and went out at the back door to the
wood-pile, ant: then into the lane. She returned again into th •
house, went into the hest kitchen, where her to stress was sitting.
and knocked her out of her chair with her fist. As h t inistrce:

looking at her. Her mistress then got up, ran out of the kitchen,
along the passage, and up stain. She followed her out of the

her mistress up stairs, whom she found lying down. She stooped
down and cut her mistress once or twice, alien her mistresseatched
