PRESCOTT'S LIFE.—Mr. George Ticknor, of
Boston, has just published a most interesting life of his
friend, the late Mr. Prescott, the historian, in a handsomely
printed quarto volume, illustrated with portraits and plates.
The correspondence of Mr. Prescott is valuable to echoic .r 3
on both sides of the Atlantic.
WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Saturde y
night, soon after 9 o'clock, information was C(Y,lc
veyed to the police-station at Rose-hill that a man nam ed
Sainuel Johnson, who resided in a wretched house in Court
No. 3, Cazeneau-street, had killed his wife. When the
police officers reached the place the woman was dead, hav-
ing expired only a few minutes before, Johnson, the per-
petrator of the deed, having made his escape. The body of
the unhappy woman was all covered with wounds and con-

consider-
able The
wife, h
portion of his wages in his pocket, wished him to give
her the money. This he refused to do, and soon after fell
asleep. While he slept she abstracted the money from him
and left the house with it, going, it is said, to a public-.
house in the neighbourhood. On her return the husband
awoke, and missing his money demanded it back from her.
She refused, and this led to a quarrel, in which Johnson
struck his wife and knocked her down. He then kicked
her with savage violence all over the body, inflicting
such injuries as rendered her insensible, and he then ran
away, The noise be had made attracted the attention of
some of the neighbours, who on going into the house found
the poor woman lying on the floor. She was able to speal-
a few words, and medical aid was sent tor, but she died
immediately. In the meantime Johnson has escaped.
He is described as a stoutly-made man, about 30 years
old, and Mt. Gin. or 7in. high, broad shouldered, and as
being a dark complexioned, ill-looking man. The wretched
pair, it appears, had two children, who were at once
taken to the workhouse. The murderer has not yet been
captured.
