(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

This morning the avenues leading to Union Hall Police-office were
densely crowded in consequence of its being known that the man Hub-
bard, who cohabited with the unfortunate woman, was in custody, and
about to be examined by the magistrate on the capital charge. It ap.
pears that since the finding of the Coroner's Jury, in which their verdict
in some degree exculpates Hubbard, a gentleman, whose name did not
in the course of the morning transpire, left a communication with Jr,P
Okey, landlord of the Hero of Waterloo, i❑ the Waterloo-road, tel-
dressed to Mr. Carttar, the Coroner, and in which the writer announces
that he accompanied the deceased home from the Strand Theatre on the
night of the murder, and while he was in bed with her a man
answering Hubbard's de;cription entered the room in a violent
rage, and after using very strong language, turned the writer
with force out of the house into the road; that in the scuffle that
arose during those proceedings, the man frequently ejaculated,
that the deceased was his wife, and upbraided her for daring to bring a
stranger to her bed. The gentlema❑ adds that he left his gloveS behind
him in the height of the confusion that took place—a fact which is fully
confirmed by Inspector Field, who found a pair in the room, the morning
of the discovery of the murder. The writer concludes, that he had
hoped sufficient would have transpired before the Coroner's Jury to have
implicated Hubbard, and rendered it unnecessary for him to have come
forward ; but that not having turned out to be the case, he considers
justice demands his appearance. As soon as Mr. Carttar received this
communication, he forwarded it to Mr. Griusell, the Superintendant of
the Police, who lost no time in waiting upon the Commissioners to re-
ceive instructions. The result was, that Hubbard was apprehended at
tvo o'clock this morning, at his brother's, in the neighbourhood of the
Borough, and conveyed to the station-house in Tower.street, Lambeth,
from which place it was intended to convey him this morning to
Union-hal!, but, at the desire of the Magistrates, his removal was
delayed until a late hour, in consequence of the immense crowd of per.
sons round the office, the report of his apprehension having spread far
and wide. Hubbard, it seems, quitted the scene of the horrid affair
(No. 12, Waterloo-terrace), immediately after the terminrtion of the
Coroner's Inquest on Friday; and on seeing Inspector Field this morn-
ing he expressed considerable surprise, and said " He thought he was
exonerated from the charge by the verdict of the Coroner's Jury." It
is rather extraordinary, that since H•:bbard's apprehension his conduct
has been strangely altered; he now preoerves the greatest coolness.
Mile the inquiry was pending before the Coroner he continued in a
ssate of mind bordering upon madness. The prisoner's examination
when our reporter left Union Hall, was looked forward to with the most
intense interest.
