THE NEWCASTLE MURDER.

n7eiyxtnedolillorcitToulroloafmY,eisiatesr(diepayo.)sed
that she heard the back door of his house, and the outer
(AA bl ra iddyg, e d
who from
lived the te
door of his yard, open and shut several times on the
night of the murder, between 5 and 10 o'clock, while
Mary Walker stated no one was at the house again that
night, neither was she herself ever across the doors.
It will be recollected that she swore at the Coroner's
inquest that the pane of glass which the police observed
to have been broken, in the window of the kitchen at
liolam's house, had been broken by herself, but that af-
terwards being told that one of the neighbours heard a
a pane of glass broken on the Thursday night, she con-
fessed that what she had sworn before the Coroner was
false, and that she found him there when she went home.
She hasstated that she sat up for Bolam till 3 in the morn-
ing, and felt very uneasy at his absence, as he had not
remained out all night before. It would appear, how-
ever, by the evidence of a man named Tweddle, a job-
bing gardener, that early on the morning of Friday,
having heard that either the Commercial Bank or the
Savings' Bank had been set on fire at Newcastle
and a man murdered, and knowing that Bolam
was connected with the Savings' Bank, he
thought he would go and inquire ; and accordingly
he knocked at the back door, which was opened by
Mary Walker ; this was at eight o'clock, and he asked
her if her master was at home, and she said " No, he
had gone out." He remarked, " Why, he has gone
out early." " Oh, yes," she said, " its throng time, they
arc making up the books." He then told her what he
heard, when she replied that it could not have occurred
at the Savings' Bank. for there was no man kept there
at night—besides, Mr Bolam had gone out that morning
quite well. The gardener then left.
The object of this evidence will be to show that
Bolam must have made a confidant of this woman on
Thursday night.
We are enabled to state that the intelligence we gave a
few weeks since that a young woman, named Jane San-
derson had stated that Mary Walker had sponged her
her toaster's sleeves, is quite correct. And as a con-
firmation of this statement it will be shown that one of
the police found a sponge in the kitchen at Bolam's
house, which was out of its proper place, and it has the
appearance of having been boiled in soda.
We have heard that; Bolam last week expressed a
wish to see a Magistrate, and one would have been sent
to him, but his solicitor came in the meantime, when
nothing more was said about it.
Up to this day Bblam had not decided where he will
be tried, whether in the town or the county ; he oscil-
iates between the two, but cannot fix.

SIR JOHN BARROW.—When Sir John Bar-
row boasts that he has been the "humble instrum nt" of no less
than eleven administrations, one is irresistibly reminded of Jim Crow
and we exclaim " a Whed.Barrow, by Jove r'—but when he sub:
sequently assures us that " he is, ever has been, and ever shall be, a
Conservative"—we discover that he is but a Truckle-Barrow after
all 1-4lrgus.

AN OLD RECOLLECTION

" By next Session he hoped that the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, Mr. Spring Rice, would be Rave in the snug
haven to which it was said he was to go, and that he would
not again have to speak of him, except as an old recolier-
tion."—Vide Mr. O'Connell's speech in the Commons on
Tuesday night.

Well said, Dan ! Without a trope
I cry " Ditto" to thy hope ;
But, no doubt, you'll feel with me,
That far better it would be,
Were the Tories in a trice,
Like thy muzzled pet, Spring Rice,
To become—the whole vile section—
Nought but an old recollection !
Long they've been a nation's curse,
Growing yearly worse and worse,
Draining, 'till 'cis nearly dry,
John Bull's golden treasury,
Seaming his broad brow with scars,
Gained in reckless foreign wars,
And building—for full well they know
Johnny's wits are somewhat slow—
Churches for his soul's salvation,
Jails for his accommodation,
And barracks just to keep him quiet,
And warn him that, in case of riot,
There lives a fierce despotic crew
Who'll cut his throat at Peterloo !

Well for John Bull 'twould be, Dan,
Were this tyrant Tory clan,
With all their multiplied connections,
To become—mere recollections !
Like those grim old giants who,
If our nursery tales be true,
Beat and plundered honest men,
On the King's highway, and then
Dragged them to their Castle hall,
And ate them wholesale, bones and all I
Drink then, Daniel, drink with me
This toast I give right heartily—
" May the Tory locust tribe,
" Extinct their power to dupe or bribe,
" Soon become—the whole vile section—
" Nought but an old recollection !"

Scott, upon an increasing scale of power, suitable to every gra-

intense deafness. The highest power Conductor is " THE
SONIFERON," by which numerous individuals, so deaf as
to have been able to receive no communication except in writing,
now participate in the pleasures of conversation ! The lowest
power is the " SELF-SUPPORTING CORNET," which
exempts the wearer from the trouble experienced by the deaf in
holding trumpets to the ear ; it may even be worn under hats
and bonnets. The intermediate Conductors are respectively
adapted to every shade of deafness; but the Cornet is the smal-
lest aid to hearing which it is possible to devise, not even ex-

Letters ofAt torney, to en able them to vote by proxy ; and I shall
be happy to be permittt 41 to transmit a similar instrument to any

Allow me to repeat my warmest and most grateful thanks
for the very flattering; encouragement with which my pre-

MY BROTHER.

(From a New York Paper.)
I was born away down at Bangor,
Where tradin' is well understood,
Where pumpkins are raised along shore,
And nutmegs are grown in the wood.
My brother was fixed at Castine,
In the pork manufacturin' line,
For he had a patent machine
To make bacon hams out of pine.
The tarnal concern did it slick,
And %would make other notions with ease,
You put in a thundering stick,
Out tumbled a white oaken cheese.
Not awarticle there was abused,
For he so saving, 'twas said,
The sawdust was all of it used
To make the dyspepscry bread.
He'd a mill, too, that worked as expert
ily steam—'twas a curious caper !
You put in an old cotton shirt,
And it came out a handful of paper.
And when speculation was rife,
My brother, who that understands,
Manufactured—its true, on my life—
Manufactured and sold Eastern lands.
But then, Sir, the climax to cap,
The buyers of these made a stir ;
Though acres they bought on the map,
They couldn't find out where they were.
They talked about going to law—.
Then what could my poor brother do?
By way of confounding their jaw,
He failed, and he's rich as; a Jew.

STOPPAGE OF TILE UNITED STATES' BAYS,

The United States' Bank in New York received a
note, in few words, from the United States' Bank of
Pennsylvania, yesterday morning, directing it to pay no
farther liabilities of the United States' Bank, as it was
inconvenient to make the payments in New York.
In consequence of this, the Bank put up the follow•
in; notice :

" Bank of the United States, New York,
Wednesday, Oct. 9, Ten A M.

" Notice is hereby given that the notes of the United
States Bank of Pennsylvania will no longer be received
at the Bank of the United States in New York."
Post-notes to the amount of 40,000 or 50,00 dollars,
and, perhaps, a much larger sum, payable in New York,
were due yesterday, and protested. On the presentation
of a 10,000 dollar post-note at the opening of the
Bank, the holder was put eff for an answer till twelve
o'clock, and was then answered in the negative.
A few shares of the United States' Bank were sold
after the suspension was known at 95, and some sight
drafts on Philadelphia at 2-1, a 3 dis.
A good many letters were received yesterday morn-
ing by our merchants and brokers from Philadelphia,
intimating that a suspension there was likely to take
place yesterday. Our postscript by the mail will of
course tell about that.
The United States Bank here received no further
advises yesterday from the mother Bank, after the
letter alluded to above. When called on by the
notaries at threewantoonefilao, the answer first given was,

STEAM-BOAT ACCIDEY TS.

(From the Atheneum.)
In our notice last week of the 4- Report on Steam
Vessel Accidents," we expressed an opinion, the r. stilt
of observation, confirmed by the witnesses examined
before the Commissioners, that almost every accident
had occurred from culpable negligenc,: or gross misma-
nagement. This consolatory view of the sutiect*—con-
selatory so far, as it proves that the evils are not neces-
sarily con•equent on the use of steam—has been strik-
ingly confirmed by a Correspondent well emitted to be
heard on such a subject, and whose letter will, we are
sure, be read with great sati,faction
6. Weymouth,2Bth Oct. 1839.
" Perceiving in your remarks on the " Report of
steam Vessel Accidents,' in the last number of the
Athenceunz, that you state, how satisfactory it is to
find that almost every accident has occurred from cul-
pable negligence or gross mismanagement,' &c., I beg
leave, in full and convincing proof of the truth of your
asserkm, to inform you, that having commanded one of
his Majesty's steam vessels from 1821 to 1833, no ac-
cident occurred to the boilers or engines, which in the
slightest degree endangered life, during that period of
12 years ; the sane may be said of all the other vessels
on the station I then was serving on (Holyhead).
" From 1833 to this date, I have been Superintend-
ent of her Majesty's mail steam-packets on this station,
where they have at all seasons to encounter the heavy
seas of Portland and the Casquet., races ; yet there is
not a single instance of either boilers or engines being
in the slightest degree injured ;—surely the fact of 18
years' constant steam service, in all weathers, and with-
out accident, will go far to prove that only care is re-
quired to prevent the recurrence of tho,c fatal wrecks
which have of late years been so frequent in the mer-
chant steam service.

" I believe the only remedy to be an Act of Par-
liament which shall compel all steam passenger vessels
to submit to inspection every six months, and to ex-
hibit the ccrt.ficate of the inspectors in some conspi-
cuous part of the packet. This would prevent the
owners from sending packets to sea in the unsafe state
described in your paper, and of which my own observa-
tion has furnished many other instances. The Act
should also prohibit the use of the common steel-yard
safety-valve, directing two valves to be fitted in a cast-
iron case, such as is now used in the Government steam-
vessels ; from the. difficulty i❑ getting at valves thus
constructed, no racing tricks can be played, which has
been, I believe, a fertile source of mischief.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"J. AGNEW STEVENS."

• We concur with the Athenaeum in this remark, or
rather the Atheneum concurs with us, for we drew the
same conclusion five weeks ago, on reading the Report.
Indeed no one can read it without being convinced of the
fact that when subj,!ct to proper regulations the steam-
ship must be the safest of all vessels.—En. SUN.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)

MaNciiEsTEß.—Although the general gloom which
hangs over this market was rather increased than di-
minished yesterday, there was some demand for c:T-
tain counts and qualities of yarn suitable for the In-
dian market, and inferior qualities of mule twist, from
40's to 70's, commanded rather higher prices than last
week. For every other article, however, the demand
was very limited, and the prices generally lower, parti-
cularly in shirtings, which were accordingly depressed,
indeed quite unsaleable, except at a considerable sacri-
fice ; and there seems to be no prospect of amendment,
until some change takes place in the condition of the
London Money Market, which exercises a powerful in-
fluence on all mercantile transactions here.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, NOV. 4.
—There has been a very dull market again to-day,
with a very limited demand for flannels of all kinds.
Those manufacturers who have made sales have been
obliged to take less money than last week. When
trade is anything like brisk, November has been gene-
rally considered a bnsy month for the flannel manufac-
turer ; and the demand has usually continued good till
the middle of December. This year a fair business
has been doing during the summer months, and up to
the beginning of October ; but since then it has been
growing considerably worse, and if no change takes
place, we fear flannel
Lie weaver may expect a severe
winter. The wool market has been heavy, with prices
rather on the decline.
