THE EDGEWARE-ROA:oMURDER.

(LATEST PARTICULARS')
Mr. Fehham, the Inspector of the 1' division, through
whose unremitting and praiseworthy ererCons the appalling
deed has been brought to light, was during the greater part
of yesterday prosecuting the most diligent investigation in
and near the dwelling of Greenacre, in ()woof whose boxes
has been discovered, with marks of blood Uptm it, a lnind-
kerchief which is supposed to have belonged to the ill-fated
woman, -is also a small fine-toothed saw, with which in-
strument it is probable the bead and lee-s were removed.
The woman Gale is not confined in the New Prison,
Clarkenwell;- but in the House of Correction, at which
-place, on being set down by the officer who went from
High•street office with the van, Greenacre said to her,
" Don't be down-hearted, my dear ; you know nothing
abouLit, and will be discharged on'Saturday. You must,
my dear, then call and see me." On the road •to their
destination they several times shook hands with each other,
awl shed tears. Gale asked her companion now be
thou eht he should get on, to which he replied, " He
should like to have a solicitor when he • was brought up
again." They seemed much inclined to keep up conver-
sation with each other, but were very properly prevented
from doing so by a constable who was placed between them
in the vehicle. It is confidently expected that at the next
examination a full disclosui-e of all the facts subsequent to
thte murder will be made by Greenacre, such as the pack-
ing of the limbs, &c., and the manner in which they were •
coati eyed away from his house._ Two turnkeys sit up
night and day with him, in his place of confinement, in
order io guard against a second suicidal ,attempt. During
the progress of the hackney-coach containing the prisoners
to the office, on Monday, a man was pressed forward by
the dense crowd, in High-street, and one of the wheels
pass'ng over his leg crushed it to a serious degree. A
number of other
,persons narrowly escaped being run over,
is their eageaness to obtain a sight of the accused parties.

A rival establishment to that in Capel-court is
shortly to be opeasd in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, under the
denomination of -" The Western Stock Exchange," where it
is proposed business in all public securities, as well as in
railway and other shares, shall he conducted on the same plan
as in the city. Something similar was once before under-
taken, but it was soon found to be an unprofitable enterprise, as
all who speculate or have real business to transact in the funds
prcf'r going to the fountain head. It is possible that as a
rendezvous fOr the loungers at the more fashionable part of the
metropolis, where they can obtain information as to what is
going on in the city, it may perhaps answer, but
,it seems
ridiculous to suppose that legitimate business to
.any extent
would bz carried on in such a manner. It is proposed to have
twclFe expresses between the two establishments during the
day, one starting each hour from the city and the west end.
MR. CAMPBELL'S LETTERS FROM THE SOUTH.
—The publication cf his exceedingly iateresting hook of travels
t: nds. to make the reader regret, more and more, the unfre-
fluent appearance of the anther in print. It is justly observed
that "- Mr. Campbell's Letters arc every way worthy of the
reputation of a man oho, within the memory of the present ge-
neration, trusting to the prOmptings of a nature, properly d►s-
ciplined, not crushed, by art, has outlived about a dozen schools
and systems of poetry."
At a meeting of the vestry of St. Andrew's Holborn,
Churchwarden Wagstaff in the chair, it was resolved unani-
mously that the meeting highly approved of the measure pro-
posed by his Majesty's Ministers, and sanctioned by a resolu-
tion of the House of Commons, for the repair of the Established
Church, and support of public worship therein, by an improved
management of the Church revenues, and by applying the in-
creased produce to those objects.
Hu lAN LIFE," BY THE AUIIIOR OF TRE-
' itAISE" and " DE VERE."—We know erne volumes more de-
lightful to a reviewer than these, for every subject is brought
out clear as daylight, and every page almost presents some-
thing favourable for extract. • • * We close the scene
of society here opened-to us with thanks to the able and zea-
lous writer for this new exercise of great powers of penetra-
tion and of rare faculties of discernment, which, in his case,
are united with a cordial and philosophic love of all the hidden
as well as the open good of the objects he seeks tq pourtray,
and with a deep admiration and sympathy for that human nature
which he at all times pleasantly, and often profoundly, illus-
trates."—Court Journal.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Ebenezer Elliott, of
Sheffield, the author of the " Corn Law Rhymes," delivered
a lecture in the hall of the Hull Mechanics' Institute, on
Poetry. Of the lecture itself we can only say that every part of
it bore evidence of the man—it was sterling metal hewn from
the mine of truth ; —in style original yet most forcible, at those
who heaal it can best testify. —Hull Observer.
The lawyers in Spain encourage crime in order to
obtain practice. In Mr. ludlis's work on Spain, just repub-
lished, we find an account of an escrivano, who jogged a
butcher quarrelling with a neighbour, having his knife half
drawn, with "Po le (give it him) aqui estoy yo !—Don't you
see lam here, no harm shall come to you." This beats any
thing in any Old Bailuy practitioner, even of the time of Jo-
nathan Wild.
LONGEVITY AMONG PRINTERS.—A late French
periodical contains the following interesting calculations —ln
twenty-three printing offices in Paris, there were noticed in
each printers whose ages ranged from forty to seventy years.
An aged master printer asserted that he had known more than
fifty compositors or pressmen who had passed their sixtieth
year. Among thirty.five persons engaged in one office, one-
third ranged from forty-five to seventy years of age. A printer
who worked in an office, a few years ago, said there were, out
of forty workmen, twenty-five whose ages ranged from fifty to
seventy. This office was very appropriately termed imprimerie
des birbassiers, or " the printing office of grey beards."
There are seventeen printers now working in Paris, of whom
seven are seventy years of age, one eighty, and another eighty-
two. A printer worked in the office of Didot, the younger,
until his death, when he was eighty six years of age, and an-
other continued to work until the age of ciehty-four. Among,
the deaths in Paris in one year there were twenty-five printers,
whose ages varied from fifty-five to seventy-eight years ; and
among the returns from the hospital for the aged, the deaths
of four printers were announced, whose ages were respectively
sixty-four, sixty-nine, seventy-five, and seventy-eight.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 27.
I We have a good demand for Cotton to-day. The Sales are
about 4,000 bags of all kinds, without, however, any decided
improvement in prices.
A pastry baker, in Howard-street, has been appre-
hended under a charge of murdering a girl of the town, in
Jamaica-street, on Friday morning about 3 o'clock. It is not
known whether any provocation was given, but in the preseleJ
of the watchman he knocked her down, and by the time she
was properly seen to, life was extinct.—Glasgow Chronicle.
