THE EDGEWARE-ItOAD MURDER•

The following particulars, in addition to those which
have already appeared with regard to this horrible and all-
engrossing affair, were collected at a late hour last night :
From inquiries made at the prison it appears that the
prisoner, Grcenacre, is much more dejected than at the
period of his first being placed in confinement, and that the
woman, Gale, is during the greatest part of the daytime
evidently absorbed in deep thought ; but neither of them
has made the slightest allusion to the turnkeys or others as
to the crime laid to their charge. Yesterday afternoon the
whole of the furniture, &c., was brought away from the
prisoner's lodgings, and is now deposited at the Hermitage-
treet, station-house, Paddington. It will be remembered
that Inspector Feltham was on the night of taking Green-
acre into custody, kept some time at the front-parlour
door, and that he was for a minute or so rurnmagiti.g about,
in order to find, as he said, the tinCer-box. The
lity, however, is that he was seeking for the means of de-
stroying either himself or the Inspector, and that lie was
only prevented from doing so by the latter rushing into the
apartment, and securing him before he had time to effect
his object,, as a pistol loaded with powder and ball, and
having on it a percussion cap, was yesterday discovered
lying inside of one of his boxes, and so placed that on lift-
ing up the lid he could at once have laid his hand upon the
instrument of destruction in question. The pistol is, with
the rest of the things, in the care of the Inspector, and
will be produced on Saturday next, when it is expected
that some extraordinary filets connecting the female priso-
ner with a knowledge of and participation in the dreadful
murder will be elicited. The examination on Saturday Will
occupy a considerable portion of time, as there are great.
numbers of witnesses to be brought forward.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURT,

KINGSGATE-STREET.

MARY MORRISON v. Mrs. WILKINS.—Mary Morri-
son, the plaintiff, was a snub-nosed, but somewhat intel-
lectual-looking servant of " all work," and had summoned
her mistress for the amount of one month's warning, she
having, as she alleged, been discharged at a moment s
notice—the sum claimed was IBs., and Mrs. Wilkins ap-
peared to defend her own case.
Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—Pray, Miss Mary Morris-
son, why did you leave ? Plaintiff—Leave, Sir! Why,
because I couldn't stop, Sir ; and I wouldn't stop. Nobody
could stop, Sir.
COMMISSIONER—Nobody stop, how so ? Mary Mor-
rison—Acause, Sir, Missus was always a grumbling.
COMMISSIONER—And what did she grumble about ?
Mary Morrison—Why, Sir, she grumbled once because f
didn't get up in the morning when the bell ringed ; then she
grumbled acause I didn't get no ott rolls for breakfast ; and
then she grumbled again acause I warn't cleaned. "In
fact, Sir," said the Learned Mary Morrison, " I couldn't
get a piece of mind, and so I left."

COMMISSIONER—And didn't you give the proper warn-
ing? Mary Morrison—Never agreed for none, Sir.
COMMISSIONER—That's the very reason why you ought
to give it.
Mary Morrison—Lawk, Sir ! d'ye 'spose I was agoin
to put up with their going on ?—(Laughter.)
COMMISSIONER—What do you say to this, Mrs. Wil-
kins ?—ll2fendant : Say, Sir—really I am ashamed to say
anything. Mary Morrison broke everything she came
near—she never got up—she never cleaned herself—and
she never did as she was directed ; and at last she went
away quite promiscuously, and never said so much as
good bye.
COMMISSIONER—" The unkindest cut of all !" and I
am afraid Mary Morrison will nut obtain a verdict from
these gentlemen.
The Jury decided against Mary Morrison.

RESIDENCE OF SPENCER THE POET IN IRE--
LAND.—The Castle of Buttevant, now modernized, and fitted
up as the residence of Sir James Anderson, is built on a cliff
above the river Awbeg, on which the town is situated. On
this stream, about four miles further down, are the ruins of
Kilkolman, the residence of Edmund Spenser, the poet. Of
this truly interesting ruin, in which Spenser composed his
" Fairir Queen," and where he received the visits of Sir
Walter Raleigh, little now remains save a single turret and d
few lonely walls upon a little elevation, beneath which flows
the neglected waters of the Awbeg, or as Spenser has :lamed
it, the

"Ila, mine, whose waves I whilome taught to weep;"
and where he describes himself as wandering in . .

" The cooly shade
" Of the green alders by the Malta's shore."
Kilkolman, with its castle and three thousand acres of the ford
fvited Desaiond territory, were conferred, on Spenser by'
Elizabeth ; and here, having married (as he himself describes
her), " a country lass of low degree," he continued to reside
for nearly ten years in compliance with the terms of the grant
which enjoined residence on his estates ; this being one of
Elizabeth's favourite schemes for tranquillising Ireland by
tee location of English settlers. But the turbulent spirit of
the Irish regarded little the peaceful pursuits of the gentle
poet. In one of those wild commotions excited by the Earl of
'Tyrone, his castle was fired by the Irish, his infant child
perished in the flames, and Spenser, broken-hearted and im-
poverished. returned to Eogland and died in an obscure resi-
dence in King-street, Westminster. His name and his repu-
tation seem now alike forgotten amidst the very scenes which
he has contributed to immortalize. We sounded SC% eral of the
peasantry to discover whether they knew anything of the pcetil
but in vain ; the only answer in the affirmative was a charac—
teristic one from our position, who in return to cur inquiry
whether he had ever heard of Spenser of Kilcolman, replied,
" Is it Mr. Spenser of Kilcolman, your honour ? Troll, then,
I can't just say that I ever heard tell of him ; but I suppose he
goes round by Doneraile way, for he never took horses in Mal-
low in my time, Sir."—Letters to the .North.

COUR TIERS.—Men who are singularly careless
auditors of public accounts, and by no means uneasy in tho
postcssion of sinecures. —Dalanse.

CO VETOUS.—The corctoui man is poor, but the
contented one rich; said Bias, the philosopher.—Sternes
Koran.

DAISY.—The word daisy is a thousand times ptc-
nculced without our adverting to the beauty of its etyme-
logy—" the eye of day ."___Campbell.
A deputation of the Mayor, the Town-clerk, and
one the Covamon-council, being sent to superintend the
putting up of the Corporation estates by auction, in North-
ampton, the whole expenses of the journey of these gentle-
men, during their five days' tr:rel of 200 miles, did not
amount to more than about the allowance that is made for con-
s., ying a convict to the hulks at Woolwich—viz., Is. a mile for
each person
