mination of the public not to think that in some
cases exposure is worse than neglect. We have
given a detailed account of the speeches' and
proceedings of Mr. Hunt on this occasion.
Those who think we have done him honour by
such a notice will do well to read over the ac-
count with care, and ask themselves how they
would feel after making such an exhibition,
either at Peterloo, or in the columns of a news-
paper, in the Broad Sheet, or on the extended
plain.—Morning Herald.
A meeting is announced—a great and nume-
rous meeting—and a meeting, it is said, of the
" working classes,' in Copenhagen-fields, for
Monday next. Now, if it be a meeting of the
working classes, we do hope that it will take
place; for the working classes have been invariably
distinguished in their conduct by great good
sense and moderation—by abstinence from vio-
lence, both in language and conduct—and by
obedience to the laws. Every object that
is dear to them is embraced by us, under
the condition of time for accomplishing
it ; and we have no fear of their meeting on
any subject under proper leaders. But is the
meeting of Monday a meeting of the work-
ing classes? We fear not—we fear that the
proposed meeting is only another trick of the
Anti-Reformers, to bring discredit on the cause
of Reform, and to turn the mind of the King,
and his Ministers, of all true Reformers, against
the cause which they have so warmly and disin•
terestedly advocated ; and we fear it, because •
we learn, from a source on which we can rely,
that a great number of those who have proposed
to go there, have determined to attend the
meeting in an armed state, and that a discovery
has been made of a great manufactory of spuri-
ous constables' staves ! If such be the fact,
and there can, we fear, be no doubt of it,
we are confident that the meeting will not
be a meeting of the working classes, but a meet-
ing got up by the Anti-Reformers, and against
an attendance at which the working classes can-
not be too much on their guard. We know
them well from long and intimate intercourse,
and we caution them as friends. These are not
Castlereagh times, in which peaceable meetings ,
of the people are prevented ; and the man who
would go armed to a meeting, during the exist-
ence of the present Government, would be-
tray not only hostility to it, but hostility to the
King, and hostility to the cause of Reform—
Again, we say, people 91 England be on your
guard against the Anti-Reformers and their
spies.—Morning Advertiser.

MURDER OF MRS. WALSH.

I FURTHER EXAMINATION of the PARS
TIES CHARGED with the MURDER.
Yesterday evening Edward Cook, and the female
Eliza Cook, alias Ross, were again brought up to
Lambeth-etree.t police-office, and placed within the
b tr, before the Hon. G. C. NORTON, and J. HARD.
nice, Esq., for final examination. When brought
into the office, the female, who appeared as ferocious
as a tigress, on perceiving her son, exclaimed, "
Ned, I hope you are not going to hang your mother,"
and seemed at the moment almost ready to dart at
the boy, and tear him to, pieces. He, however, was
removed to a distance from her by the officers.
Previous to the examination being entered on, Mr.
Norton said he understood that there were two
gentlemen belonging to the London Hospital pre-
sent, who svie.hed to sey something; and if so, the
Magistrates were ready to hear them.
Dr. Luke, who, as well as Dr. Hamilton, was in
attendance, observed in the report of she proceedings
at this oisjee on the day before in the morning jour-
nals, it sated that the body of the missing woman
had been taken to the London Hospital. He (Dr.
Luke) wished to deny the truth of such statement,
• and to say that no such body had been received at
that institution. At the time at which it was stated
that it had been brought there; on, the ZOth of Au-
gust, the lectpire; and dissecting rooms were under
regair, and none but the tradesmen employed in
doing such repairs entered them. He had besides
made inquiries, and fatted that during the whole of
August not a single body had been received at the
London Hospital.
Mr. NORTON observed, that so far as the Hospi-
tal was concerned the statement of Dr. Luke was
perfectly satisfactory, at the same time the repre-
eentatioes in the newspapers, at to the statement of
the boy respecting his mother saying that she had
taken the body to the London Hospital, was perfectly
correct:
Lydia Basey, the wife of Thomas Basey, a boot.
closer, residing in Long-lane, Smithfield, was grand-
daughter to the missing woman, whose name was
Caroline, and not Elizabeth; Walsh, On Friday,
the 19th of August last, she went with her to the
residence of the prisoners, in Goodman's-yard, Mi.
stories. She did not go into the room of the pri-
soners at the time ; but she heard the voice of the
female prisoner, as the old lady went up stairs, It
was between tiye and six &clock in the afternoon.
She understood that het- grandmother was going to
stop there. She had nothing with her at the time
but a small basket ; and she had never seen her since.
Anne Buton, sister to the last witness, stated that
her grandmother, Mrs. Walsh, had lived with her
for six years psevieus to August last. The last place
at which she resided with her was in He'd Lion-court,
in the Minories. The prisoners at the time lived
next door to her in the same court. Having given
up her room in the beginning of July, the old wotrau
stopped for some time with the prisoners, who took is
and she (witness) subsequently 'took lodgings for her
at a Mrs. Shaw's, in Playhouse-yard, Houndsditch.
Her invariable practice was never to go out before
ten ofs eleven o'clock in :he forenoon, end returned at
three or foer in the afternoon, and sometimes much
earlier. She was in the habit of selling tapes,
threads, and other articles. The lest time she saw
her was about four o'clock on the afternoon of
Friday, the 19th of August, at the house of Mrs.
thaw. She (witness') then told her that she under-
stood she was going to Cook's to lodge, as she had
seen, her bed there in the course of the morning.
The old woman said she was, upon which she re-
' marked that if she went to Cook's they would cook
her; that they were bode-,natehers, and would put
a pitch-plaster on her, and sell her body at some of
' the hospitals. The old woman seemed displeased
end angry at her remarks, said the Cooks were not
so bad, and requested that she, witness, would ac-
company her to their house. This witness refused,
but went part of the wad' ; and on their ptirting ei
the et;ti of iSutles-Street, the told her that She wits
sure she should never see her more. she,however, told
her not to stir out the next morning until she called
on her, and that she would bring her some stock-
ings and other articles which she required. The old
lady ze;d she would net, 4ntl they parted. During
the whole Of Vfidaynight 'the witness could scarcely
get any rest, such were her apprehensions abouther

at home'but the fernale. 'She asked her for the old
lady, and she said she was just gone out. She ape
