CHARGE OF MURDER.

A urea sensation was produced in Newcastle-upon-Tyne
on Saturday morning last, arising from the report that a
labourer, named James Fairley, had been murdered the pre-
ceding evening in a lane in the village of Elswick, near that
town. The following is an outline of the particulars as they
transpired, on Saturday afternoon, at the Infirmary, before
C. W. Cramm, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable Jury. It
appeared from the evidence that it was the annual custom of
Messrs. Walker, Parker, and Co., proprietors of the shot and
white-lead works at Elswick, to give a dinner and other enter-
tainments to the numerous work-people and tradesmen em-
ployed there. This took place on Friday last, and the great-
est conviviality prevailed till about ten o'clock in the evening,
at which time the deceased, who was not in the employ, called
there to conduct hie wife (one of the work-people) homewards,
the night being dark, and the road lonely. Some words
took place between them respecting the lateness of the hour,
and, by her testimony, it would appear that the de-
ceased struck her on the face, in the yard of the establishment,
and was in the act of repeating the blow, when a fellow-
workman, named Thomas Martin, who was present, interfered
to prevent it. She, fearful that her best clothes would be torn
off, knowing the violent temper of her husband, ran home to
her lodgings in Newcastle, and, after changing her apparel,
went back in search of deceased. It seems, however, m the
interval, that the deceased had been discovered lifeless in Els-
wick-lane, with his face dreadfully lacerated, and ,his breast
considerably injured. The spot where he was fomci Was 044
where the wife of deceased ran off', and there were no other
persons present but themselves. The body was convoyed to
the Infirmary by some of the party who had been enjoying
themselves, but Martin has not since been heard of. Both he

HAMBURG, OCT. 29.—The steam-boat, with the English
mail of the 21st, has not yet arrived at our going to press
(five o'clock) ; and the greatest apprehensions are felt on
its account, as the Sir Edward Banks steam-boat, with the
mail of the 24th, arrived this morning, and we learn from
her the departure of the other steam-boat on the 21st.
The Sir Edward. Banks will leave to-morrow morning at
five o'clock, with the English mail that remained lying here
yesterday.
Our readers will have remarked that the London steam-
boat with the mail of the 24th arrived here this morning. The
reason why that of the 21st has not yet come is unknown.
BERLIN, OCT. 26.—This morning at four o'clock a fire,
the causes of which are unknown, broke out in the building
called the English House, which spread so rapidly that on
the arrival of the engines, which were brought as soon as
possible, the noble saloon in one of the wings of the house
was all in flames. As a musical society had assembled in
this saloon which did not break up till this morning, it is
probable that the fire was the effect of carelessness. By
the exertions of the police and the firemen the fire was
hindered from destroying any but the wing in which it
;broke out, though the adjoining parts of the building suf-

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 25.--ilhe accocue,s-vf the electionz
out of the capital continue to be very satisfactory, as they
show the increasing interest taken by the people in this im-
portant affair, and in general prove the good sense of the
electors, who recognize the qualifications that are to be
sought in those who are to lay the wishes of the people with
energy and dignity before the throne.
According to the census of the population of Copenhagen,
which is just finished, the capital has 119,292 inhabitants,
so that the increase is nearly in the same proportion as in
the other civilized countries of Europe.
By an official return from Iceland there were, in 1823,
births, 2,528, of which 368 were illegitimate ; death, 1,592,
of which 886 were children under 10 years of age. There
are 90 persons above 90 years of age, but none above 100.
Marriages, 435.
In the Faro Islands there were—Births, 162 ; deaths 62.
There was one man above 100 years old ; only 3 illegitimate
children ; marriages 43. The population of these islands
has increased since 1829 by 451 souls.—Hamburg Papers,
Oct. 29.
