NORTII CHESHIRE.

The evidence of treating was further proceeded with.
John Ribby, the proprietor of the Boat House, Runcorn
proved that he supplied 186 of Mr. Leigh's supporters
with dinners and spirits, but his bill had not
yet been paid. The agent of Mr. Astley, the
defeated candidate, proved that Mr. Leigh's agent was
anxious to make a mutual arrangement as to treating at
Runcorn, but he declined to entertain any such proposal.
Mr. Cumberbach, landlord of the Macclesfield Arms,
Macclesfield, proved that 493 of Mr. Leigh's friends and
supporters were supplied with dinners at his house on
the first day of polling, and 52 on the second. His bill
amounted to 2811. 6s. 6d., but it had not yet been paid.—

UNITED MEXICAN ASSOCIATION.

(THIS DAY.)
A general meeting of this association was held to-day
at their offices in Finsbury-circus; Sir J. Easthope in the
chair. The advertisement convening the meeting hav-
ing been read, a very satisfactory report was submitted
to the meeting. From this document it appeared that
the advices from the mines in Mexico were of the most
satisfactory character. The treaty of peace had been rati-
fied both by the United States and the Mexican Govern-
ments, and the property had consequently been liberated
from the species of embargo from which it had previously
suffered, and there was therefore every reason to believe
that the dividend which the directors would have to de-
clare at their next meeting would be fully equal, if not
superior, to that which they had now to propose.
The amount of quicksilver lately in hand was worth, on
the best calculation, 4,9471., and with the amount lately
purchased the stock now on hand is fairly valued
at 7,5221. The whole of the funds now avail-
able for the purposes of the dividend and the other
objects of the company was 15,754/. 4s. 9d. Oat of this
sum the directors recommended a dividend of five shil-

lings a share, which upon 43,000 shares, would require a
sum of 10,793/., which would leave a fair balance for
the purchase of quicksilver and the other commercial
objects of the company. The claim upon the Mexican
Government for loss sustained is 289,000 dollars, and
the whole amount of the debt due from them is 669,438
dollars. Considering these liabilities as good, the pro-
perty in Mexico may be estimated at 1,372,112 dollars,
which, being converted into British sterling money at
the standard rate of 3s. 6d. a dollar on the 31st Decem-
ber last, amounts to 240,119/. 135., so that the proprietors
might consider their property to be worth certainly up-
wards of 250,000 L, while there was every probability of
its being greatly improved in character.
Tho CHAIRMAN having gone through the items of the
report, stated that with a view to promote the interests
of the shareholders Mr. Shoolbred had been dispatched
to Mexico for the purpose of taking np some other
mines, as those now in the possession of the company
should be worked out ; but his instructions strictly
limited him to such an expenditure that not more than
5,000/. should be drawn from the funds at home, and even
that was not to be laid out unless there was an assur-
ance of its speedy return.
To several inquiries, the CHAIRMAN replied that
Mr. Shoolbred was entirely worthy of the confidence of
the proprietors, and that he perfectly understood that it
was the feeling of the directors that he should miss a
prize rather than by any precipitancy take up a blank,
and they had reason to believe that he was rather over-
cautious than otherwise.

The report was then unanimously adopted, it being
understood that should the remittances justify such a
step, the proprietors shall be called together earlier than
the regular period appointed for the half-yearly meeting.
A dividend of five shillings per share was then de-
clared, and Mr. Mackillop and Mr. ilibbert having been
re-elected directors, thanks were voted to the chairman
and directors, and the meeting was dissolved.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN BY
THEIR MOTHER. H annah Leith, the woman who was
brought up on Wednesday last, charged with attempting
to poison herself and her three children (the particulars
of whose examination have already appeared in this
journal), was again brought before Mr. Bingham for
final examination, when the following evidence was
adduced:—
Mr. William Lawson, surgeon, said he was called by
the constable who gave his evidence on the last occasion,
to go to the residence of the prisoner, No. 27, Car-
burton-street. On arriving there he found all the
children and the prisoner exceedingly ill iu bed. On
making inquiries he found that the prisoner had ad-
ministered poison to her children and had taken some
herself. On further inquiry ho found that she had taken
sugar of lead. Witness immediately administered sul-
phate of lead as an antidote, which, by decomposing
the poison (acetate of lead), brought the latter from the
stomach. On examining the contents of the stomachs
he found them strongly impregnated with acetate of
lead. He found on a table in the room a cup contain-
ing a quantity of the same deadly poison. The room, a
very small one, contained two beds, and was in such
confusion, that it was difficult to distinguish anything
further. Witness added that sufficient poison had been
taken to cause death.
Joseph Marychurch, assistant to a chemist in Norton-
street, said a woman answering the description of the
prisoner came to his shop about ten days ago and bought
two-pennyworth/of sugar of lead, saying that she wanted
it for a lotion.
The depositions were then ordered to be taken, and
the prisoner was fully committed fortrisl.

MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.I
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
It is our painful duty to record the fearful—and, as it
would appear premeditated—murder of a young woman
named Diana Thomas, by a man named William Adams,
to whom she was married about three years ago, a
former husband (still living) Laving been a short
time previously transported for ten years, on a
charge of felony. About eight weeks ago, the de-
ceased left Adams, with whom she had lived from the
period of her marriage, and has since been staying
with her father, William Clare, a tinplate worker, living
in Oldham road. Yesterday morning, shortly after
five o'clock, she left her father's house, to go to her
work, at the Hanover Mills, in Buxton-street, London-
road; and while passing through Newton-street, met
Adams, with whom, it appears, she had some conversa-
tion. Several persons (amongst whom was a police-
officer, named Craven) saw them walking together in
Friday-street and Little Lever-street, talking and quar-
relling for several minutes. While in Friday-street,
Craven heard Adams urging the deceased to go
home with him, but she stoutly refused to do
so. He then caught hold of her clothes, when she
screamed violently, and ran away. Adams followed
her, and, when close to her, took a pistol from his
coat pocket, and attempted to discharge its contents
at her head. The pistol, however, missed fire. He
then continued his pursuit, and, having again cocked
his pistol, made another and a too successful
attempt. The deceased fell, and in a short
time life was extinct. Craven, who was following
Adams, ran up to him as soon as he had discharged the
pistol, and apprehended him. In a few minutes,
several other officers, attracted by the report of the
pistol, arrived on the spot, and finding Adams in
custody, picked up the woman, and conveyed her to
the Infirmary, where she almost immediately
expired.
The prisoner was at once taken to the Town-hall.
On being searched, the pistol he had just discharged
was found in one of his pockets, and a loadede
r
one, with a percussion cap on the nipple, in another.
This he subsequently said he intended tor himself.. It is
somewhat singular that not only had the deceased been
previously married, but the prisoner himself has a wife
now living in the neighbourhood of Chorlton, by whom

he has had two children. Latterly he has been out of
employment, but we understand that for 16 or 17 years
he worked as a smallware weaver for Messrs. Harter
and Edwards, silk merchants, of Stanley-street, Salford.
When the deceased was living with him, he resided
iu
Newton-street ; but since their separation he has occu-
pied a room in Gray's-court, Lamb-lane, Salford.
Thomas, the former husband of the deceased, has had a
portion of his sentence remitted, and is, we believe, ex-
pected home almost daily. This circumstance, it is sup-
posed, induced his wile to separate from Adams, and thus
led to the perpetration of the murder.
Yesi.ernuy forenoon the prisoner was brought before
Mr. Joseph Peel, at the Borough Court, for exami:latioli.
lie appeared rather dejected, but otherwi,e stewed quite
unconcerned. The following evidence was adduced:—
Police constable Edward Craven (A 61) said, about
half-past five o'clock this morning I was on duty in Fri-
day-street, Lover-street. I saw the prisoner and a woman
disputing in the street. I thought she was his wife, and
did not take any particular notice of them at. first. I
heard the prisoner say " Come home with me;" she then
said distinctly, "I will not." He then began to pull her
by her clothes, and as he pulled she screamed, and turned
round to run up the street. He then put his hand into
his pocket and pulled out a pistol, and fired it at her
head. He was then about two yards from her. At
first the pistol missed fire. He cocked it, however, again,
and discharged it, running after her at the time; he was
then not more than two or three yards from her; she
then fell. I directly went to the prisoner, and appre-
hended him, and on searching him I found the pistol
which he had discharged in one of his pockets, and a
loaded one in another. While I was searching him, he
said, " Mind, the pistol in my pocket is loaded." I
afterwards gave both the pistols to Mr. Sawlcy, Tile
woman was taken to the Infirmary by some other officers.
She appeared to me to be dead.
Thomas Murray said—l am a striker, and live in
Hiltoneistreet. About half-past five this morning I was
in Lever-street, going to work. I saw the prisoner
conversing with a woman; she appeared to be
angry, but he did did not. They walked to-
gether to Friday-street, talking and quarrelling.
I heard her say to him, "If you don't leave me, I'll
alarm the neighbourhood upon you." He then said,
"Then you mean to die," when he put his right hand
into his coat pocket, from which he took out a pistol.
She screamed and ran (he following her) up Friday-
street. He attempted to tire, but the pistol snapped ; he
then cocked it again, and after running a short distance,
fired it at her head, when she fell. I then seized the
man, and delivered him up to the last witness. Before
I left, I looked at the woman, and noticed that she
breathed.

Joseph Roughley, a labourer, corroborated the evi-
dence of the last witnesses.
Elizabeth Spooner—My husband keeps a beer-house
in Lever. street. This morning I heard a noise in the
street, and lifting up the window I saw a woman running,
followed by the prisoner. She was crying out " Mur-
der!" I saw the prisoner take a pistol from his pocket,
and taking hold of the woman's clothes with his left
hand, he tired at her head with his right, when she in-
stantly fell.
John Travis—l am a shoemaker, and live in Friday-
street. This morning I heard the report of a pistol.
On going into Friday-street I saw the police picking a
woman up; she was bleeding, but was not quite dead.
She breathed, but did not speak. I assisted in carrying
her to the Infirmary. She died in about twenty minutes
after I saw her. The prisoner was in custody when I
saw the woman in the hands of the police.
William Clare—l am a tin-plate worker, and live in
Oldham-road. The deceased is my daughter. She left
my house this morning soon after five o'clock, to go to
her work in Buxton-street. She was married to the
prisoner about three years ago, but they have not lived
together for these last eight weeks. About five weeks
ago, he came to see her at my house, and took away a
box; no angry words passed between them. About half
an hour after she loft this morning, I heard that she had
been shot. I then went to the Infirmary, and found that
she was dead. (This witness appeared much affected,
and wept bitterly while giving his evidence.)
Superintendent James Sawley—This morning, the pri-
soner was brought to the Town Hall. On telling him
what he was charged with, I cautioned him, and told
him he need not say anything, unless he wished. He
then said, "I went this morning to meet my wife about
half-past one o'clock, in Newton•street ; and I said,
mane, love, come and let us be comfortable
together.' She answered, 'No ; a gay life I have
led, and a gay life I will lead.' I then said, Before
you lead that life, you and I shall die.' She afterwards
said she would raise the street on me, and then ran
away, shouting. She then turned round and said,
'Go away, you —.' I then pulled out of my
pocket a pistol, and shot at her, and she fell.
Ido not think I should have shot her if she bad
not called me that name. I have nothing more to say,
only I wish to die." The pistols now produced were
given to me by the first witness. On examining them
I found that one had been recently discharged; the other
I found loaded with powder and ball, and having a per-
cussion cap on the nipple.
The evidence having been read over to the prisoner,
he was asked if he had anything to say, to which he re-
plied in the negative. lie was then committed for tried
at the Liverpool assizes.
An inquest on the body of the deceased was held last
evening, at the Infirmary, before Mr. Roberts, deputy-
coroner. The witnesses whose evidence was taken
at the Borough Court in the morning were again ex-
amined. The only additional evidence was that of
Mr. George Bowring, house-surgeon to the In-
firmary, who stated,—The deceased was brought to
the infirmary about six o'clock this morning. On ex-
amining her skull, I found a compound fracture at the
back part, with a protrusion of the brain. There
was a laceration over the right eye, which bled pro-
fusely. She died in about five minutes. On making
the inspection, I found a compound fracture of
the skull, extending from the back of the
skull to the left eyebrow. The brain was torn
through, from the orifice at the back part of the skull to
near the right orbit; and just above the right eye, I
found the bullet now produced. The other organs of the
body were healthy. The deceased died from the effects
of the wound of the brain, occasioned by the pistol ball.
The jury, after a few minutes' deliberationjeturned a
verdict of " Wilful murder" against William Adams.
Since writing the above, we have ascertained that
Adams has on several occasions since the deceased's
separation from him endeavoured to persuade her to
live with him, and has even threatened to shoot her,
if she persisted in her refusal. On one occasion he
was taken to the Fairfield lock-ups, for interfering
with and molesting her, when she was returning
from her work in the evening. He has also been several
times deprived of fire-arms by the police, for having threat-
ened to use them for very questionable purposes. Some
doubts have been expressed as to the soundness of his in-
tellect ; but judging from his general conversation and
demeanour, they would appear to be without foundation.
His age is 32, and that of his victim 25. Since his com-
mittal he has appeared very low spirited, but he ex-
presses himself perfectly satisfied with what he has
done. He says he wishes to die, and would not make
his escape if an opportunity were afforded. He seems
perfectly calm and collected.

EMIGRATION TO BRITISH
NORTH AMERICA.

A public meeting was held at the Mechanics' Institu-
tion, Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, last night,
for the purpose of submitting to the public the plan of
the Canadian Land and Railway Association, originated
by and for the benefit of the working classes, with the
view to the improvement of their social condition. Lord
Ashley, M.P., presided, and was supported by the Duke
of Argyll, the Earl of Harrowby, the Marquis of Bland-
ford, the Hon. A. liinnaird. William Miles, Esq., M.P.,
T. L. Hodges, Esq., M.P., &c. The meeting was nu-
merously attended by the working classes, and letters of
apology for unavoidable non-attendance, expressive at
the same time of sympathy with the object of the meet-
ing, were received from Lord Castlereagh, Sir W. Cole-
brooke, (late Governor of New Brunswick), Mr. Wal-
ters, M.P., Mr. Slaney, M.P., and other gentlemen of
distinction •

The CHAIRMAN having introduced the business,
Mr. A. CAMPBELL (secretary to the association), in
explaining the leading features of the plan, said that the
committee had come to the conclusion that the British
North American colonies, being the nearest to the
mother country, were preferable to be selected, and pro-
posed to purchase large tracts of this territory from the
Government, and colonize it upon the principles of the
association—that was, by combining the labour, capital,
and skill of the working classes. It was proposed also
that a railway GOO miles in extent should be constructed
between Halifax and Quebec, to provide good road com-
munication between the different settlements. Tb e as-
sociation would send out its pioneers to make the neces-
sary preparatory measures for the reception and com-
fortable location of the emigrants.
Mr. B. MILLS proposed the first resolution, which af-
firmed the necessity of a comprehensive and well-organ-
ized system of emigration, in order to provide remune-
rative employment for the surplus population of this
country.

Mr. R. WILDMAN seconded the proposition.
After being supported by the Duke of Argyll and
the Earl of Harrowby, the resolution was carried
nem. con.
Mr. EDWARDS moved the next resolution, which was
in substance as follows :—" That it is the opinion of this
meeting, that the plan proposed by the working classes,
to be carried into effect from their own resources, and
called the Canadian Land and Railway Investment As-
sociation, seems to offer, in many parts, a large field for ,
the profitable employment of labour, skill, and capital,
if conducted upon the principles of association, and the
company authorised by royal charter.
Mr. J. PITTS having seconded the resolution,
The resolution was carried with but two or three dis-
sentients.
Mr. MILES,j M.P., then moved the next resolution,
which was to the effect that a voluntary subscription
should be raised to defray the expenses of diffusing
in-
formation respecting the project, as the statute impera-
tively restricts the company to an outlay noateexrceveodtiinn

the resolution,
which was unanimously agreed to
with their pre-
thanks to the Chairman, and other noblemen
gen-
tlemen who had honoured the meeting; and
some, the proceedings terminated.

I SPORTING INTELLIGsENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.—TUESDAY.
In respect of weather, a more unfortunate commence-
ment of a meeting, which so intimately combines plea-
sure with business, cannot be conceived. Tho rain set-
in before day-break, and fell without ceasing until about
nine o'clock; after a short interregnum, it re-commenced,
and continued, with a strong wind and a mist so thick
as to render it impossible to distinguish colours at a dis-
tance of 100 yards, until after the second race, when it
cleared up, and remained comparatively tine to the close
of the races. The ground had previously been heavy,
particularly on the new ground; it now became very
deep in all parts; and, there can be no doubt that its
some instances it produced results which future running
will prove to have been anything but consonant with the
real merits of the horses.
The company, it will be readily imagined, was limited;
it was confined to the visitors at Goodwood, and the
sporting circles. The select few who were present, were
rewarded by some racing of extraordinary interest. The
competitors for the great prizes, comprising the winners
of the Derby and St. Leger in 1847, the winner of the
last Derby, one of the leading favourites for the next,
and many others of high renown. The results of three
of the principal events were adverse too the favourites,
and, in the instances of Surplice and Honeycomb, will
have immense influence on the betting on future events.
We repeat, however, that the state of the ground must
have had some effect. Subsequent running may lead to
results very different to those recorded underneath.
