UNION-HALL.

Two young men, named Edward Jacks and
George Wilson, were brought up yesterday, charged
with uttering counterfeit money at a public-house
called the Tiger, in Camberwell.—They were both
committed.

The congregation in Marylebone church, on
Sunday afternoon, were thrown into consternation by a
poor man suffering under an attack of epilepsy. His shrieks
were responded to by those of the charity chi!dren, and
the greater part of the congregation were rushing out of
the church before the unfortunate cause of alarm eould be
ascertained.

Some excitement has been created in this
town by the apprehension of a man of the name of JOHN
PARKER, a shoemaker, who formerly lived at Milwich.
Early in the last year PA AKER, although a married man, and
upwards of 40 years of age, induced a young► woman of 22.
ELIZA PARR, the daughter of a respectable tradesman in
this town, to elope with him. She had upwards of 1001.
in money when they left this neighbourhood. They went
to Livtrpool, where they remained 11 weeks, and then
embarked for America. Within the last few days Pa
)(ER has returned to Milwich. He came partly disguised,
having rings in his ears, &c. The unfortunate girl, how-
ever, has not returned with him ; and he says that after
having been very ill at sea, abe died on board the vessel,
on the sth of May, about a month after their embarka-
tion. He has given various particulars respi cting the ill-
ness, death, and burial at sea of the poor girl ; and Mr.
R. JONES, our police officer, is gone down to Liverpool,
to ascertain whether or not they are correct. In the
meantime PARKER remains in custody.—Sheffield Adv.

the
re-
collected, had become very conspicuous some years ago,
in consequence of the notice takeu of bim by the late
Queen CAROLINE, who had made hint her protege, and
concerning whose birth, parentage, &c., an inquiry before
the Privy Council was instituted. From the statement of
the applicant, it appeared that her husband had for some
years held a situation in his Majesty's Customs, but, being
of most profligate and extravagant habits, he lived, if not
beyond, at least up to his income, and having died a short
time since, left the applicant and his daughter, a girl or
15 years of age, in great distress. The applicant used
every effort to support herself and daughter, but all having
failed, she was obliged to apply for parochial relief. The
officers oontributed to her immediate necessities, and gave
directions to BRUEMAN, the beadle, to inquire into her
situation.

THE LATE MURDER IN CLERKENIVELL.
—Since the examination of MARTIN and AINSLEY, be-
fore Mr. LAING, at Hatton-garden office, on Wednesday
last, discoveries have been made which are likely to lead
to a conviction of those who were engaged in the bar-
barous murder of the late Mr. SHEPHERD. Though
MARTIN had been in custody for upwards of ten days it
did not, it appears, occur to the Hatton-garden officers or
the constable of police who apprehended him, to .-xarnine
his clothes. On Sunday last, however, LICA, an officer bt
longing to Lambeth-street, who has been latterly engaged
in the case, from his having AINSLEY in custody on
another charge, proceeded to the House of Correction,
where MARTIN is confined for further examination, and
on inspecting his clothes found several stains of blood on
them, and on inquiry ascertained that since his commit-
ment to prison he had burned a handkerchief which was
also stained with blood. In consequence of this discovery,
LEA made the prisoner exchange his clothes for one of the
prison dresses, and took the former away with him. Be-
fore leaving the prison he took down the prisoner's oxu
account of the manner in which he spent his time, and
the places at which be had been on the night of the murder
and a day or two before. LEA, who has more experience
in these matters than perhaps any officer in the metropolis,
having apprehended seine of the most daring offenders,
among
whom were the notorious WILLIAM CORDEK, and
the female burker Mrs. COOK, is still pursuing his in-
quiries, and there is but little doubt, from the du! wbie!i
i:e has got, that the perpetrators of this most horrid
murder will be brought to justice.
