TATTERSALL'S.

The betting opened exceedingly dull, although two or
three important changes evinced themselves from the com-
mencement. The Cressida colt opened pretty nearly as
he left off on Thursday, with the exception that he was a
shade better for the Riddlesworth. He remain( d thus

till nearly five o'clock ; but in the mean time a few offers
about 11ahmoud showed alterations of considerable im-
portance. On Sunday he was reported to be amiss (of
the distemper), and almost any odds could have been got
about him. Yesterday afternoon the odds were as freely
offered against him, 30 to 1 for the Derby, and 7 to 1
for the Riddlesworth, having no takers. Brunswicker
was supported by two or three Yorkshire Gentlemen at
9to I, which is the outside price. A little before five
o'clock a very interesting change took place—his party
rallied round him with great spirit, backed him outright,
and against other horses. for both stakes, and finally placed
him at 2 to 1 for the Riddlesworth, 8 to 1 fur the Derby,
and 12 to 1 for the St. Leger. If he has been amiss, he
must have had a clever surgeon to bring him round so
soon. At all events, ill or not, some have made a to-
lerably good thing of it. Sir M. Wood's Zoraida colt is
stated to have broken down. No betting on the Oaks or
St. Leger. The field for the Riddlesworth is become
pretty strong, as will be collected from the following list
of the closing prices :7--

THE MURDER OF THE MARAB.-It must be in the re•
collection of many of our readers, that about 18 years
ago, a whole family of the name of Mart., residing in Rat-
cliffe Highway, were massacred, and that another family
named Williamson, residing in the same neighbourhood
were murdered eleven days subsequent to the former hor-
rible transaction.
Yesterday Sir R. BIRNIE received a letter from Mr.
Marshall, a Magistrate for the county of Buckingham,
dated Chesham, March 12, informing Sir RICHARD BIR-
THE that a man was in custody at Chesham, who made a
confession that he was concerned many years ago in
committing the murders in Ratcliffe Highway. The letter
stated that the prisoner is between 40 and 50. and he bad
applied to the parochial autheriti, a at Chesham to be re-
moved to his place of settlement as a pauper. He was ex-
amined before Mr. Marshall, and interrogated as to his
parish, and he stated that he had a claim upon St. Paul's,
Shadwell. Upon being asked when he was last at Shad-
well, he hesitated, and became a good deal confined. This
was particular;y noticed by Mr. Marshall and his clerk,
whe again asked him when he was last in Shadwell? He
replied, " not since the murder of the Marrs," and be-
came a good deal agitated. Mr. Marshall said to the pri-
soner, that it was many years ago when those murders were
committed. He replied, " yes, many years." Mr. Mar-
shall asked him as to the time when, and the Owe where
he resided when the deed was done ? The prisoner replied,
that he lived at the time with a Mrs. Philpot, in Philpot-
rents, or court, between New and Old Gravel-lane. Mr.
Marshall asked, if that was near to the house where the
Mars resided ; and the prisoner, whose agitation continued
to increase, said it was very near, and at once con-
fessed that he was concerned in the murder. Mr. Mar-
shall conceived it was his duty, as a Magistrate, to cause
some investigation into the statement made by the prisoner
before he suffered him to go at large, and he requested Sir
R. Birnie to direct an officer to make certain inquiries,
chiefly relating to the prisoner's description of the locality
of the place where the murder was perpetrated, and other
circumstances relating to it.
Sir Riehard Birnie dispatched an officer to Shadwell to
make the inquiries, and having referred to his diary (in
which is inserted an account of every occurrence of public
interest for the last twenty-five years), he found that the
Marrs' murder was committed on the 7th of December,
1811, and the Williamsons' on the 18th of the same month
and year. Sir Richard wrote a reply to Mr. Marshall,
giving all the information in his power, and thus the
matter rests at present.

IRELAND,KING'S COUNTY ASSIZES

PHILIPSTOWN, MARcm 12.

The entire of this day was occupied in the trial of
Michael Brogan, a wealthy and respectable farmer, for
the murder of his wife Diana. The following is a short
abstract of the evidence:--
The deceased, on the day of the murder, had been on
the po'nt of lying-in, when the prisoner came home from
market. Under various pretences, be sent out his servants
in different directions, and when the house was clear, he
carried his bloody purpose into effect by inhumanly bre. k-
ing-in the back part of her skull with a large poker. He also
beat in the forehead, broke her jaw-bone, and otherwise
mutilated her in a frightful manner. The first of the ser-
vants who returned discovered the prisoner washing his
hands and clothes in an adjoining pond, the water of which
was quite tinged with blood. This, and other evidence
of a circumstantial nature, appeared so conclusia e, that the
Jury have this moment (ten o'clock at night), after a few
minutes' deliberation, pronounced a verdict of Guilty, and
the wretched culprit has been sentenced to be hanged on
Monday next. The sister of the deceased was in Court,
and is a fine, handsome-looking young woman ; and those
who were acquainted with Mrs. Brogan allege her personal
appearance was highly interesting, and far superior to that
of her surviving relative. A physician who was examined
proved that at the period of the murder the deceased, if
she had lived, would have bee' delivered of a living male
child in a few hours. Brogan, who is about 25 years of
age, is a most villainous, down-looking ruffian ; and yester.
day, when he was first brought up for trial, appeared quite
intoxicated, in consequence of which it was postponed
until this morning. No cause has been assigned for the
bloody deed. He is a Roman Catholic, and the deceased
professed the Protestant religion, of which all her relatives
are members; but it did net appear on the trial that dif-
ference of creed had any influence on the mind of the
wretched man. The trial excited immense interest, and
the verdict has given universal satisfaction.
