f o'clock, a v
ground n
eaars tcrowd of t
h e new bathspersons
one of the lower districts of the town, for the purpose of
adopting some means of intimidating the bakers, in order
'that bread might be sold at a lower rate than is now
charged. The proceedings were, of course, irregular,
and a part of the mob, consisting principally of boys,
went to a baker's, named Needham, who lives near the
place of meeting, and in a few moments smashed his
windows. They then went to another baker's in the
neighbourhood, but before they proceeded to any vio-
lence, asked him if he would lower the price of his
bread ? The man having answered that he would, they
left his shop without doing any injury. From this place
they proceeded to Mr. Hutchins,,n's, in Fisher gate
(smashing the bread shop windows in the way). When
they got to Mr. Hutchinson's (who is a poor-law guar-
dian) they quickly demolished his windows. The crowd
then went into Narrow Marsh, Budlestnith-gate Parlia-
ment-street (where they entered a baker's shop, and
stole a quantity of bread), breaking the windows of the
various provision shops as they passed. A great number
of boys from fourteen to eighteen years of age paraded
the streets, and indeed perpetrated most of the damage,
being hardened on by the men. They then returned to
Snenton, and broke the house windows of Mr. Robert
Weber, a highly respectable baker and merchant. Two
of the police captured two lads while in the act of throw-
ing boulders • but they were speedily rescued by the
mob. Several of the delinquents were, however, ulti-
mately captured, and taken before the mayor the next
morning. The master bakers attended at the police-
office this morning for the purpose of asking for protec-
tion, considering their property in danger, and antici-
pating further disorders to-night. The mayor promised
that an efficient constabulary force should be at their
service.

THE MURDER AT OXTON, CHESHIRE.

LIVERPOOL, Sept. s.—Yesterday afternoon Knowles,
the maniac who had shot the policeman Matthews that
morning at his own residence, was taken before the ma-
gistrates at Birkenhead for examination.
The accused, on being ushered into the court, shook
hands with 31r. Townsend, the magistrate's clerk, and
then moved in a familiar manner to the bench. His

eyes rolled wildly, and during the taking of the evidence
he frequently rubbed his hands, smiled, and winked to
several parties who were in the court. He looked healthy
and quite ruddy, but appeared totally unconscious of
the enormity of the crime he had perpetrated. The first
witness called was
Robert Lancaster, butcher, of Oxton, who said
have known the prisoner for about 2 years, and have
lived near him for 18 months. I saw him yesterday'
evening at Mr. Jones', the Talbot Inn, at Oxton. He
appeared very much excited in his speech. He was ram-
bling from one thing to another in his conversation. He
remained at Mr. Jones' from about 8 to 10 o'clock. All
the drink he had in my presence was
nowles
two enn 'worth of
sherry. He left the house very quiet P,
and 3 I went
with him to the gate of his own house.l yMrs. K
opened the door, and from what she said to
me I was
induced to remain at the house. The prisoner remained
in the back parlour for about two hours, when I went
with him into a bedroom over the back parlour. He
continued to be excited, and talked and sang very inco-
herently for a long time. He was talking of his having
been with Captain Cook on his voyage round the world.
He also proposed to make certain persons kings, and
talked about going up into the clouds. He was
sitting up, with his coat, waistcoat, and shoes off.
Shortly before four o'clock he appeared to fall asleep
and I did also for a few minutes. I was awoke by
the prisoner, who got up, and said, " Bob, were
you the devil who came to kill me when I was at
Beenny-price ?" I believe by that he meant when
he was ill before, 26 years ago. At one time he was
occupied half an hour in washing his hands. He took a
toothpick and said he coald draw horses, dogs, &c. His
son (William Knowles) came into the room about a
quarter to 5 o'clock, and the prisoner at this time oc-
cupied himself in looking out through the window. He
soon went out, and shortly afterwards John Matthews,
constable, came into the room. Matthews spoke to the
prisoner in a kind manner, and the prisoner showed
him a pair of cloth breeches. After Matthews had been
in the room, William Knowles asked me to go into the
kitchen to get breakfast. Matthews was left in charge
of the prisoner in the bedroom. After being in the
kitchen about two minutes, Mrs. Knowles called me,
and on going up stairs I saw Matthews holding the back
parlour door, to prevent it being opened by some person
who was inside. Matthews said, "He has got a gun ;
is it loaded ?" I then drew a little back to the hinge-
side of the door, and said to Matthews I did not know
whether the gun was loaded or not. In a few seconds
after I heard the report of a gun in the room.
Matthews immediately gave a start or jump, crying
"I am shot; run for Dr. Godden." I ran into the
kitchen to go through the back door for the doctor ;
when I got there I found Matthews had followed me,
and was standing at the back door. His breast was
covered with blood and the remains of the door. When
I saw Matthews again he was dead.
William Knowles, son of the prisoner, deposed as
follows :—My father is sometimes very passionate. He
was excited when he came into the house on Sunday
night at ten o'clock. We got Mr. Lancaster to sit up
with him a part of the night. I went into the room
where my father and Lancaster were sitting two or
three times. My father rambled very much in his talk.
At twenty minutes past two o'clock I went and called
Matthews out of bed, and he came directly after-
wards to our house. Matthews remained until sor 6
o'clock, when my father became worse, and I then took
Matthews up to him. I then asked Lancaster, who had
been up all night with my father, to come downstairs
for refreshment. We left the room together. After being
in the kitchen about five minutes I heard the report of
fire-arms somewhere in the house, as if on the ground
floor. Directly afterwards Mathews came into the
kitchen and said, " I am a dead man, Mrs. Knowles ,•
send for the doctor." I then went up stairs, and found
my father coming out of the back parlour. I said to
him, " Come to bed, father." He went up stairs and I
followed, and remained with him until Dr. Godden
came. My mother advised me to go for Mr. Matthews.
I do not know that my father has been under any re-
straint. There were firearms kept in a closet near the
fireplace in the back parlour. I cannot say whether they
were loaded. My father generally kept a double-bar-
relled gun loaded. I have seen than gun since, and it
is not now loaded. He was out with a gentleman
shooting on Friday and Saturday, but my father had not
a gun with him.

Mr. Joseph Godden, surgeon, was next sworn. I live
at Oxton. I was called to go and see Matthews at the
house of the prisoner. I found him in the kitchen lying
on some chairs. I removed his neckcloth and waistcoat.
He was quite warm, but appeared to be in the last stage
of life. I removed his clothes, and found a large
wound in his left breast, about two inches above the
nipple. He was bleeding slightly from the wound and
from the mouth. I conclude, from the flow of blood
from the wound, that the lung xas injured. It appeared
to be a gunshot wound, and I believe death was pro-
duced by it.

This ;vas the whole of the evidence given, and the
prisoner was remanded until the holding of the inquest
upon the body, which took place this morning, and re-
sulted in the committal of the prisoner for trial for mur-
der under the coroner's inquest.

LETTERS FOR
.AUSTRALIA.—The Post-office autho-
rities have given notice that ship-letter mails will be
made up for Melbourne and Sydney, to be sent out by
the steamer Pacific, 1,400 tons burden, which is ap.
pointed to leave this country on the 30th inst.
DEPARTURE OF THE ATLANTIO.—LIVERPOOL, Wed-
nesday.—The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic,
Captain James West, sailed from the Mersey this fore-
noon, with the usual bi-weekly mails for New York,

dise on freight.

RESIGNATION OF ARCHDEACON WILBERFORCE.-+TWO
letters, published in the Guardian of last evening, inform
us that that uneasy clergyman, Archdeacon Robert J.
Wilberforce, has resigned his preferment in the Church
of England, and that his resignation is accepted by the
Bishop. The royal supremacy staggers the reverend
and venerable gentleman, who desires henceforward, or
at least for the present, to be thought of as a lay mem-
ber of the Church of England, or, in his own words, of
" the Church."

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ♦T SHOEBURYNESS.—In the
account which appeared yesterday of the melancholy ac-
cident at Shoeburyness by the bursting of a 56-pounder
gun, 11 feet long, (and weighing 98 cwt., it was stated
that colour-sergeant Rose and Repository-sergeant Lee
had both died on the afternoon of the same day on which
the accident occurred, owing to the severe injuries they
bad sustained. Pay Company•sergeant Williams bore
the injuries be sustained with such courage that it was
at first hoped he would recover, although it was known
that his right thigh was broken and would have to be
amputated. Unfortunately on his removal on a shutter
to the hospital to have the operation performed, it was
found that his left [arm had been shattered, and it was
apprehended that, if it was indispensable to amputate
the arm also, there could be but slight hopes of his re-
covery. The contents of a letter, received from Shoe-
buryness yesterday, communicate the intelligence that
he died on Tuesday, the day after the accident took
place. The three sergeants were all remarkably fine-
looking and well-conducted men ; they had all been mar-
tied and had families, and two of them have left widows
to mourn their loss. Colour-sergeant Rose has left a
family but no mother to take care of his now orphan
children, as he buried his wife about a fortnight ago, she
having died of cholera.

DISTRESSING SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning a man
named Thomas Bowes committed suicide at No. 140,
Lambeth-walk, under the following circumstances :
It seems that the deceased was in the service of Mr.
George Webb, butter and bacon merchant, of High-
street, Shoreditch, who recently opened a shop in Lam-
beth-walk, and of which deceased had the sole manage-
ment. Webb's affairs becoming embarrassed, be was
declared bankrupt about a fortnight back, the deceased,
who occupied apartments in the house, being left in
charge of the property until the appointment of assig-
nees. The deceased endeavoured to obtain another situ-
ation, but failing to do so he yielded to despondency.
On Monday night he gave his wife all the money he had,
telling her to take care of it. The next morning he
went down to the cellar where the butter and bacon
were kept. His wife, alarmed by his long absence,
followed, but finding the door locked she called another
lodger, when, on forcing open the door, they found the
man lying on the floor in a pool of blood, which flowed
from a terrific gash in the throat, inflicted by a knife,
which lay by his side. Life wail not wholly extinct, but
before medical aid couid be procured he had expired.
The deceased, who was about forty years old, iwas con-
sidered to be a most trustworthy servant. The wife and
six young children are thus rendered wholly destitute.
The police have taken charge of the property on the pre-
mises until transferred to the custody of Webb's assig-

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE AT STDENELA.M.—About one
o'clock p.m., yesterday, a cart and horse, the property
of Mr. B. Brown, corndealer, Peckham Rye, was
standing on the siding at Forest Hill, when a train
passed, and caused the animal to take fright and run on
the railway towards the Sydenham station, with a boy
in it 13 years of age. After passing at speed some dis-
tance on the railway, the horse was stopped by the
railway police mid porters. The poor little fellow was
taken out of the cart bleeding from severe wounds in the
mouth and lips, caused by the extreme jolting of the
cart, and immediately taken to Dr. Gilbert, who paid
instant attention to the case, and dressed his wounds.
BARNET GREAT CATTLE FAlR.—This extensive cattle
fair commenced on Monday and terminated yesterday,
greatly to the satisfaction of a large class of salesmen
and breeders of cattle. The above fair is held chiefly for
the sale of young beasts, which are transferred into the
various grazing counties throughout England ; the first
class beasts, 3 and 4 years old, consisting of Herefords,
Devons, and short-horns. Lincoln and Scotch beasts
were in high condition and extraordinary well bred,.
flesh being substituted for bone ; indeed, they were the
admiration of all persons competent to judge.
