THE TRIPLE MURDER AT MIR

FIELD.
The examination of the two murderers, Michael
M'Cabe and Patrick Reid, apprehended a short time
since on suspicion of being the perpetrators of this ap-
palling crime, took place on Saturday last, at the Court-
house, Dewsbury, before Mr. Joshua Ingham, chairman,
' and Messrs. J. B. Greenwood, John Hague, 11. W.
Wickham, and E. B. Wheatley. The court was crowded
during the investigation, and the excitement which the
dreadful occurrence had occasioned appeared in no
degree to have subsided, numerous parties remaining
outside the building and in the neighbourhood during
the whole of the investigation. The accused have
been carefully watched since their arrest, and have been
kept in separate cells. M'Cabe is stated to have mani-
fested considerable uneasiness and restlessness since his
removal to the station at Dewsbury, but on his being
brought into court he maintained the same calm de-
meanour which he preserved at his first examination
before the deputy-coroner. He was placed in the dock
in the long brown overcoat which he wore at the time he
was taken into custoiy, and on the left arm were placed
several pins, to mark the places from which had been
cut pieces of cloth, for the purpose of ascertaining whe-
ther the marks on his clothes were or were not really those
of human blood, and which were submitted to the inspec-
tion of Mr. West, of Leeds. Reid, who is a much younger
and more athletic men, was also dressed in the dark green
and buff waistcoat which he wa3 sworn to have had on
on the morning of the murder; and on his left arm, im-
hesaw
m‘caboevear
im-
mediately on the round of the shoulder, and the inner
part of the wrist, were similar marks placed, to denote
the spots whence the cloth had been cut for the chemist's
inspection. He appeared almost indifferent to the pro.
ceedings, and was defended by Mr. Haxby, of Dews-
bury, with whom he communicated but once, and that
him.was
the e
importantvidence of
witnessthe
ton, a hawker and dealer in rags and pots, who lived in
Mab-lane, Mirfield, and who said, that as he was passim;
down the read leading from M'Kinaell's house, by the
Baptist Chapel, close to that of Mr. Wraith, he acciden-
tally turned his head, and he then saw Patrick Reid at
the lane end, near Mr. Wraith's house, and from which
one immediately faces into his dwelling by the back
yard. He could not speak as to whether he was going
to the house, but he had his head turned that way, as if
acbonoludt tnooetntsepreabky the kitchen door. At the same time
btooaouskt ten yards off APKinnell's garden

SCOTCH REGISTRATION AND MARRIAGE
BILLS.

Sir GEORGE CLERK said he had an important pe-
tition to present from the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland, to which he begged to call the
attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Lord Advo-
cate) opposite. The General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland, at a meeting last week, took into consideration
the Registration and Marriage Bills, and after a discus-
sion of their provisions, a division took place. In that
division two hundred and four voted for a pe-
tition to this House, and but two against it.—(Heir.)
The petition was against both Bills, and the petitioners
averred that several clauses in them were extremely ob-
jectionable as affecting the interests of the Church of
Scotland, as well as the country generally. On that
account, they felt called on to oppose the Bills, and they
trusted no further legislation would take place upon them
till they were further considered and more matured.
He had also a petition to present against the
Marriage Bill from the bishops and clergy of the Epis-
copal Church of Scotland, who stated that the measure
would ialict a great hardship on them, and praying that
the House would not pass it into a law, or, at least,
postpone the Bill till another session. He had also nine
other petitions from various presbyteries and public
bodies in Scotland to the same effect.
EDUCATIONAL GRANT.

Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition, praying that
the Roman Catholics might be allowed to participate in
the Government grant for education.
Sir DE LACY EVANS presented several petitions
to the same effect.
CASE OF MR. COBBETT.

The HoN. MEMBER also presented a petition from
Mr. Cobbett, in the Queen's Bench Prison, complaining
of the treatment which he had received, and praying for
redress.

REGISTRATION BILL.

The LORD ADVOCATE presented petitions in
favour of the Rfgistration Bill.
HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.

Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the me-
dical practitioners of Coventry in favour of the Health
of Towns Bill.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, MAY 25.—Whitsun week lb
not a time at which much business is done at Manches
ter, even in periods of prosperous trade ; and, there
fore, it will excite little surprise to learn that the trans-
actions on 'Change to-day were on an exceedingly
limited scale. Still there was a somewhat more cheerful
feeling in the market than we have observed for a week
or two past, the price, though not higher, seemed to-
lerably firm.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, MAY 24.—T0-day the market
has been very thinly attended by buyers, and the busi
ness has been more than usually flat. The hand-loom
weavers are but partially employed ; and if there be not
a change for the better, the power-looms will probably

much of the limited demand for the raw material.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MAY 22.—The business in the
piece-hall seems to become more limited almost every
week, and prices are little better than nominat ; the
manufacturers being unable to effect sales, even where
they are disposed to accept reduced rates. The demand
for yarn has been less during the past week, as mer-
chants are influenced in their operations by the scarce-
ness of money. Prices are with difficulty obtained. The
sales of long wool are to the most limited extent, and
staplers are anxious to get out of stock ; but the cau-
tion of the spinners checks purchases ; and what are
effected must be at a trifling decline in price. But little
is doing in short wool, and some sorts seem to have a
downward tendency.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

A notice was posted at the door of Conciliation Hall,
this day, of which the following is a copy:—
" Alas! alas! O'Connell is no more. The Association
will meet at one o'clock to-morrow, to issue an address to
the people of Ircland on this most awful and disastrous
occasion."
From an early hour the quay in front of Conciliation
Hall was densely crowded with persons of every rank
and sha(le of opinion, whose anxiety to obtain informa-
tion on the subject was intense and impressive; and as
soon as the announcement had been made that O'Connell
was no more, they all separated to make way for a sue-
cession of inquirers, who could scarcely be persuaded
that their fears had been realised.
It is stated that the remains of Mr. O'Connell will be
conveyed to this city, and that a public funeral has been
determined upon.
The drawing up of the address, to be proposed to-
morrow, has been entrusted to Mr. °llea, a member
of the Irish bar.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE CORPORATION.

This being the usual day of meeting, the Town
Council assembled. The Lord Mayor presided.
On the motion of Mr. Cornelius M'Loughlin, seconded
by Mr. Thomas Kirwan, it was resolved, in consequence
of the death of Mr. O'Connell, and as a mark of respect
to the memory of that great man, to whom the country
owed so much, that the corporation should adjourn for
three weeks.
London, England, 1847-05-28

TIIE DEATII OF MR. O'CONNELL.

The intelligence of the death of Mr. O'Connell, re-
ceived this morning, produced a profound impression,
extending through all parties.
The Dublin Evening Post, published this afternoon,
thus refers to the event :—" Although his country must
for some time have been prepared for the announcement
we make this evening, yet the shock caused by the death
of Daniel O'Connell will be felt in every city, town, and
hamlet in Ireland—by whatever manner of men—by
whatever class of religionists—by whatever section of
politicians—these may be inhabited. All ranks, all
denominations of prople feel,, and all will acknowledge,
that ' a great man has fallen in Israel.' But it is an ac-
knowledgment, also, that will be echoed by England,
France, Spain, Italy, Germany—by the two Americas
--by the world.

" There has been no other man born in Ireland who
has identified the story of his life with the annals of his
country. For forty years it may, with perfect truth, be
affirmed that he has made the history of Ireland.

" The death of O'Connell ! What a crowd of asso-
ciations do these three words suggest ! To the Catholics
of Ireland—we care nothing about their miserable dis-
sensions—the words will be full of sorrow ; but they
will, at the same time, awaken a feeling of that gra-
titude which slumbered, we are afraid, in the bo-
som of too many of them, and kindle anew that ad•
miration with which they were so long accustomed
to follow his career, and to hail his triumphs
triumphs, too, which, it must be remembered, were theirs
also. We do believe that amongst the Liberal Protes-
tants of Ireland the sentiment is similar. Nay, amongst
those Protestants who were hostile to the religion of the
man, and to the great cause of which he was the moving,
energetic, and indefatigable leader—amongst even these,
we believe, there is a feeling of regret that he is gone,
and an acknowledgment of his transcendent powers.
"At any rate, all men will acknowledge this truth,
that for nearly half a century he was the foremost man
in Ireland. That we have owed to him that indomitable
agitation which wrung the freedom of his country from
hostile statesmen, and from the reluctance, in some de-
gree, of a proud and bigotted Legislature. That eman-
cipation would arrive at last may be assumed. But, if
he had not arisen—if he had not acted as he did act, the
blessing might not have been conceded in the time of the
present generation.
"This is a glory which no enemies of the man can
dissociate from his name.
" With regard to the subsequent agitation for the
repeal of the legislative union, it is needless to say that
we regretted, not, perhaps, so much the agitation, as its
ostensible object. That agitation has been of great
service to Ireland. To its success, and above all to the
great victory achieved over the Court of Queen's Bench
in Ireland and the late administration, we owe the
endowment of Maynooth, the Bequest Act, and the Irish
Colleges. Wo have no doubt that other good fruits w "
follow."

FACTORIES BILL.

The Earl of ELLESMERE presented a number of
petitions in favour of the Factories Bill, and then pro-
ceeded to move the second reading of the Bill. Ile said
that this subject of so great importanca had been so
little of late before their Lordships, that it might be in •
trodnced perhaps with some apprehension, and the more
that the second reading was not moved by an authority to
whom their Lordships were accustomed, but at the request
of many most anxious that the Bill should pass into a law,
he had consented to move it before their Lordships.
Comparatively novel as the subject might be to their
Lordships, he was still relieved from the difficulties that
existed in introducing a new principle to their Lord-
ships. The present Bill was supported by many classes
of the community.

L.oNDON, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1847.

Their Lordships have evinced their wisdom and
discretion—they have re-considered their former
deci4on, limiting the duration of the most important
clauses of the Irish Poor-law—they have escaped
from the incongruities and absurdities in which they
had been involved by the temporary success of Lord
MONTEAGLE'd amendment. The measure is now
permanent in all its parts, and the great experiment
will receive a fair trial. Of course the same power
will exist in the Legislature of altering or abolishing
any of its provisions, which may in practice be found
to work badly, or to di,appoint the expectations that
Lave been entertained with respect to them that it
possesses in all other matters. It will still retain its
power of revision, but will not be forced to enter into
the consideration at any particular period. 'We do

BITILY BRANCH, &c.)
WEYMOUTH AND STELCOIVIBE REGIS HAR-
BOUR AND BRIDGE TRUSTS.
_ _

Mr. ELLico3thE stated that the Bill was unopposed ; that
it was promoted by the South-Western Company, and that
its object was to construct a line of nineteen miles and three-
quarters in length, from Andover, on the Basingstoke and
Safi' bury line, to a point on the Bishopstoke and Salisbury
line near Ketnbridge Mill; and thence from Romsey on the
same line to Redbridge on the Dorchester line, and so
on, by means of this branch and a small portion of
the main line of the South-Western, to Southampton—
thus making a considerable portion of the line to be applied
for next session by the well-known Manchester and
Southampton Company. There is some little difference in
the route, but the course traversed is nearly the same, or
at least will answer the purpose for which that line was
partly designed. A considerable portion of the Andover
Canal would be used, an agreement to that effect having been
entered into with the proprietors. The capital would be

400.000/.
Mr. Kerr, C.E. (Mr. Locke's assistant), detailed the
minutia of the line.
EXLICI: said he appeared as counsel for the Man-
chMesrte ur
and Southampton Railway, which had been thrown
out by the Standing Orders' Committee, in support of a
petition of the promoters of that line, which, however, he
would not trouble the Committee with, as it was their inten-
tion to withdraw it.
The CHAIRMAN, and the other Members of the Committee,
seemed astonished at any appearance on behalf of a line
which had bead rejected by the Standing Orders ;Committee,
and which, consequently, was not before them or Parliament.
Mr. Wummisit explained that certain clauses had been
arranged between the parties, which, as the Manchester an,'
Southampton had been rejected, would not he inserted in the
present
i Bill, it being understood that they should be in-
serted n any future Bill to be promoted by the Sonth-
Western or by the Manchester and Southampton, in case
they should come before Parliament in a subsequent session.
He only wished to state those facts in order that they
might be placed upon the records of the Committee, and to
withdraw his opposition.
Mr. Burchell, the solicitor to the South-Western Company,
explained that such an arrangement had beencome to.
The CHAIRMAN said no doubt the object of the Learned
Counsel had been answered by the statement he had made;
but it seemed to him that the parties for 'whom he appeared
bad no locus standi before them.

THE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE—the
only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not
require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never fades or
acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all
other dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence,
recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their esta-
blishment; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it, are re-
quested. to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it
is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without
the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted
entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establish.
ment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen.
They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to
the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous
persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.

FACTORIES BILL.

The Earl of St. Germans, Lords Eversham and
Wharneliffe, the Bishop of London, and Earl Grey pre-
sented petitions in favour of the Factories Bill.
TOWNSIIEND PEERAGE BILL

The House then went into Committee on this Bill.
The Bill passed through Committee.
PUBLIC GRANARIES.
The Earl of WINCHILSEA rose to bring forward
the motion of which he had given notice, of the expo-
diency of establishing public granaries. The Noble
Lord, who was very imperfectly heard, was under-
stood to say, that had the Government established
such depOts; at the beginning of this scarcity it
would have: done much' to have prevented the present
state of things. It would have prevented the supplies
from being hoarded in a few hands. lie however sug-
ge sled that for the future the Government should take
up the matter and provide for the accumulation of
grain in order to supply the working population at re-
duced rates.

Earl GREY said that the question opened by the
Noble Earl was of too much importance to be disposed
of by any incidental discussion, and he therefore ab-
stained from commenting upon it, not because he agreed
with him in his opinions, but from the deep sense which
he entertained of the present state of the country.
the subject then dropped.
POOR-LAW IRELAND.

Earl FITZWILLIAM moved for certain returns con-
nected with the rateable districts in Ireland.
After a few words from Lord ELLENI3OROUGII,
Earl GREY said that, the returns asked for were
already upon the table in another shape; and to place
them in a new one would require so much trouble that
he would desire his Noble Friend to postpone his motion
in consequence of the present pressure et' business.
The Lnrl of FITZWILLIAIII denied that they were
in possession of the returns which be asked for. At
the same lime he would be most willing to oblige his
Noble Friend.

The Earl of WICKLOW said he would press his mo-
tion for the returns.
After some conversation,
The NOBLE EARL postponed his motion till to-morrow.
