S. M. PHILLIPPS.

Whitehall, Aug. 17, 1831.

THE CORONATION MEDAL.—.II is at last
determined by Ministers to strike a medal in commemora-
tion of the approaching Coronation of their MAJESTIES.
It will be about the size ola half-crown—notwith the faces
‘' kind and billing,
Like Philip and Mary on a shilling,"
as the satirist has it—but WILLIAM will be on one side, and
ADELAIDE on the other. Two thousand will be impressed
on silver, and a fourth of that quantity on gold. Talents
of the first order have been employed on this work. The
models, from the hand of CHANTEY, are eminently
beautiful ; that of the QUEEN was made in great haste ;
the sculptor had to attend night and day at Windsor, to
the neglect of all other commissions, till the head was
completed. It then passed into the hands of Wvos, the
medalist of the Mint, whose skill of touch and happiness
in seizing character, may be seen on the late coinage, and
on m my a fine medal.—Athenteunl.

BRtGHTOX MURDER,

(Extracted from the Brighton Guardian.)

The woman Kennard, who is in custody touching the hor-
rible murder, was brought from the Lewes prison on Mon-
day, and underwent a second examination before the Ma-
gistrates at Brighton. She persists in asseverating her in-
nocence. The principal novelties in the examination are
comprised in the following extracts :
W. Gawen, a little boy, aged 11.—I live at No.
Margaret-street ; I saw the head, arms, and legs of a hu
man body taken out of the privy ; also the tickets of a bed
and a part of a box ; a little fruit-box. (Witness could not
speak positively as to the day.) 1 did not see Holloway
on that day. I have seen Holloway walking with some
one behind hint. Prisoner was coining down the street
behind hint, carrying a box undi-r her ants. Holloway
had a bag made of ticken. The bag that was taken out
of the privy was a ticken bag. There appeared to be a
box in the bag. There was an appearance as of a little
blood on one corner. I mentioned it to Mr. Leaver's
little boy. I said, I wonder what Master Goldsmith has
got there—sheep's heads or what. Holloway was called
Goldsmith. I knew prisoner very well. lam quite sure
it was she who was following Goldsmith. I cannot re-
collect when it was.

Prisoner—He speaks wrong to say that I went behind
with a box. Are you confident that I was behind with a
hox ? Witness—l am not quite sure. I saw Holloway with
a bag ; that lam quite sure of. This was before they left
Leaver's lodgings. I cannot recollect when they left.

Ann Browne sworn—l live at 6, Margaret-street. Hol-
loway, called Goldsmith, lodged next door at Leaver's. I
saw him carrying a sack on his back the week before he
left his lodgings. He brought it into the yard past my
back-door into his house. He then took it away as he
brought it. There was something in it that seemed bulky.
He carried it on his back towards the chain pier. I went
to my parlour window and saw him take it down the street,
and then turn and come up. He first went towards the
sea, and then to St. James's-street. I saw him carrying a
box two or three times the size of that taken out of the
privy. I saw that box; there was reading on it. Some-
body said it was French. I could not see to read it, be -
cause I had not my spectacles. This was the week before
they left Margaret-street. They left Leaver's on Friday.
I can't tell what the bag was made of. It was of a dark
dirty looking colour. I never saw any thing of the prisoner.
Matilda Johnson sworn—l live at No. 6, Margaret-
street. I saw Holloway going backwards and forwards
with a sack upon his shoulders. It was bulky. Ido not
remember to have seen this more than once. He came
down the street. He went to the back-door, and •in a
minute or two he returned with prisoner. They went
up the street, and stopped and spoke softly to each other,
whispering. This was a house or two off. They then
parted a few steps, met again, and ►poke as before. Prisoner
followed Holloway at the time he carried the sack.
She was remanded back to Lewes, to be brought up for
a third examination on Thursday week. Two pet sons,
named White, alias Jenkins, and John Carver. were after-
wards examined on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder. They had lived in the house No. 11, i❑ Donkey-
row, after Holloway left it ; and when asked of whom they
took it, they said of Mrs. Taylor, the landlady, which was
proved to be false, and there is no doubt they took it of
Holloway, and afterwards let it to Mrs. Humphreys. The
Magistrates knowing the prioners to be bad characters,
though they were not seen at the house till a week after
the murder, thought proper to detain them further, and
they were remanded.
Observing the seal of secrecy which the authorities
have thought proper to put for the present on the confes-
sion, we are only justified in informing our readers that
Holloway fully admits the crime, and that he perpetrated
the murder in Donkey-row. " I strangled her,—l did it
with my own hands,"—were, we believe, the wretched
man's words ; and our letters from Horsham tell us that at
this interval the prisoner, while these words were being
transcribed, burst forth i❑ an involuntary expression of
mental agony—" Oh never, never shall I forget that look,
that supplicating look." He raised his hands, and shook
with horror. During the confession, lie was at times in-
coherent, suddenly bursting out in rhapsodies. Water
was administered to him several times during the dread-
ful narrative; but he appeared greatly relieved by the dis-
closure. When the document comes to be m ide public,
we are led to believe that the story about the " bread and
cheese knife" will be found to be incorrect. There are
various stories afloat, tending to fix guilt on those sus-
pected of being accessaries. We decline publishing them
from motives to evident to need explanation. What is
given in evidence we feel bound to report ; but it were
cruel to spread criminative rumour, thus instilling a pre-
judice into the mind of the public from which a jury will
be taken to decide the awful question of life and death.

HOLLOWAY'S CONFESSION.
TO THE EDITOR. OF THE TIMES.

Silt,— Having just read in your journal of yesterday a
long paragraph, purporting to be the confession* of John
Holloway, lately committed to the prison in this town for
the murder of his wife, I beg to call your attention to facts,
and to inform yon that the author (it will lie no breach
of charity to say the inventor) of that report has given cii .
culation to the greatest falsehoods. Correct in nothing
further than the circumstance of a confession having been
made before the Magistrates he has named, and the Rev.
Dr. Everard, of Brighton, the details lie has pretended to
give of that confession are moat untrue. He states that
Holloway was the only unaffected person present, and that
he tol l the horrid talc of the murder with perfect indif-
ference, and mentioned the mutilation of the body with his
bread and cheese knife as coolly as he would have spoken
of the dismemberment of a sheep. This is pure fiction.
I was present at the confession, and though I am not
at liberty to disclose it circumstantially, I may truly say
that of all the awful and distressing scenes I ever wit-
nessed (and it has been my lot to witness many), the
confession of this wretched man far exceeded them.—
That he began his statement with calmness is true, but
it was what no one who looked on him could mistake for
that of indifference. Such, indeed, as it was, it continued
only through the relation of his first acquaintance with the
murdered woman, his subsequent marriage to her, and hi.
quarrels with her friends. When his remarks approached
the scene of the murder his calmness altogether deserted
hint; long, long was it before he could pronounce the
dreadful words which recorded his guilt, and in the mean
time his cries, yea, almost his shrieks for the mercy of God
upon his soul, were most horrible, most appalling. One
of the magistrates was so overcome as to be obliged to
leave the room, and if the prisoner had not been supplied
with a draught of water he would apparently have fainted.
We have read, Sir, of the agonies of the rack, but who
shall describe the agonies of remorse ? I witnessed them,
then, and never, never, shall I forget them,—those agonies
which I may literally say, amidst weeping and wailing,
anti gnashing of teeth, drove the wretched culprit to
sign his own death.warrant, by unburdening a con-
science which would not let hint rest day or night.
No, Sir, though his groans still vibrate in my ears,
I cannot do justice to the agonies of his remorse.
But the mischief of such a report as has found its
way into your paper, and thence into the minds of thou-
sands, perhaps I may say millions, of human beings,
consists iu this—that it is calculated to harden the heart,
and to deprive the public of the great moral lesson which
the truth, in the instance of this unhappy criminal, must
bring home to the bosom of every man. It teaches us, Sir,
that God does not leave himself without Witn,ss in the hearts
of the worst critnina's that ever died in obedience to the
laws ; that the Almighty will vindicate his laws even by
the mouths of those who have most awfully violated them ;
and that there is a fatuity inflicted upon the perpetrators
of grievous crimes, which nothing but the superintending
providence of an omniscient anti all-powerful Being can
account for, and which is sure, sooner or later, to brine
about detection. This is the lesson which Holloway's
conduct in surrendering himself into the hands of justice,
and in his subsequent confession, must teach, anti it ought
not to sacrificed to the vicious appetite for unreal horrors,
which would paint human nature more God-deserted than
it really is. My own reflections, Sir, after the dreadful
scene of Saturday, assumed the shape of Scripture, and I
could not help exclaiming when I thought of those who
were present, " And all men that see it shall say, this
hath God done, for they shall perceive that it is his work."

Yesterday morning the wife of GEORGE
DixoN, a watchman at the Excise-office, was found
drowned in a cistern. She lived with her husband and
child at the office, part of which was under her care. She
had shown no symptoms of aberration of mind previously
which her husband could notice. On Tuesday her husband
went home to bed at twelve o'clock, and she observed to
him that he was late. Between four and live o'clock in
the mottling the son missed his mother from the bed and
told his father, who, after a little while, got up and
searched the house, and after the lapse of a considerable
time at last found her in the cistern dead. A stool was
close to the cistern. No one could yesterday guess at any
cause. Except she walked in her sleep her death could
not be attributed to accident, for she did not go to the

in getting the pump again in a working state: Nei,
while the water appears to have been rapirilYile;

coal was required for the fire, according to rbe;of
