at the Castle Beek, in this city. Information of the oc-

pose of communicating with the parties who had for-
warded the notes by the mail. The other missing pro-
perty has since been recovered in the following singular
manner:—lt

lice,

of the porters or" company, and that
this young man had come up by one of the Exeter trains.
It occurred to him to consider whether this had any
connexion with the robbery, so he desired the porter to
show him the bag, which was accordingly brought to
e —lt
the care of one
him. On looking at it the superintendent observed that
it was not locked; the key had been turned in the lock,
but the bolt had not been shot in far enough. The bag
was opened, and iii it, sure enough, were the contents
of the missing mail bag. There were between 300 and
400 letters, a number of bank notes, 2154 having been
forwarded in ono letter, with several post-office orders
and cheques to a large amount. Superintendent Burton
was advised at the magistrates' office to at once commu-
nicate with Colonel Moberly on the subject, and he has
accordingly proceeded to London for that purpose. The
porter to whom the beg was delivered has not yet seen
the prisoner Norris, but, from tee description given,
there is little reason to doubt that he and the man giving
his name Moore are one owl the same person.

DREADFUL MURDER OF A CHILD. AND

SUICIDE OF THE MOTHER.
On Saturday ,evening, between five and half• past,
information was received at the police-station, Church-
lane, St. Giles's, that a child had been barbarously- mur-
dered by its mother ia Windmill-street, Tottenham-
court-road. It appeared that a young woman, named
Sarah Turpin, had for some time resided with her child,
an infant of about two months old, in the front parlour of
the house. On Saturday morning, at an early hour, the
landlady and other parties resident in the house left it to
proceed to their various occupations, arid the woman
Turpin vras left alone in the house. The landlady was
the first to return, and on entering the apartment
(<,bout five o'clock) saw the child lying on its left
side apparently asleep, and she concluded the mother
had gone out for a minute or two, and had left it.
She approachrd with the intention of lifting it on
the bed, and took hold of its hand, which shaa
found to be covered with blood. She screamed out,
and some persons living next door hastened in,
aid they were horrified at finding that the chill was
lying literally in a pool of blood, with its head neurly
severed from its body. The !au/iceman on the beat,
Sander.;, 35 E, wtis immediately called in, and he at once
sent for Air. Wildtiore, a surgeon in W'iudmill•street,
who, on examiuit,g► the body, uronuunced life to have
been extinct for some hour:. Thu neighbours on being
questioned said they had not heard any alarm, and had
nut chserved the mother leave 11:o house. Iler conduct
towards the ilifant had la en uniformly kind and affec-
tionate, and the persons rifio had known her were at a
loss to account for her.having been induced to commit
the crime.

Great exertions ware made by the police to effect the
capture of the culprit, but nothir,g was heard of her
until yesterday morning, when information was received
at the various metropolitan stations that the body of a
female, with her throat frightfully cut, had been dis-
covered in the Serpentine, at about half-past six that
morning. Several persons at once proceeded to Mount-
street workhouse, where the body had been conveyed,
and it was immediately identified as that of Sarah Turpin.
On the finding of the body a surgeon had been seat
for, who expressed his belief that the body bad been
some time in the water, and that the wound in the throat
was of itself mortal.

No circumstance tending to account for the mother
terminating the life of the child has as yet come to light.
Her age was about twenty-five.

THE OLDBURY BURGLARS
LEOMINSTER, SATURDAY.—SIIICe our lust account of
the capture of two men, near this town, charged with
the burglary at Oldbury, and also with other offences of
a like violent character, some disclosures have been made
which have led to the identification of the prisoners sa
connected with other lawl,ss outrages. It will be re-
membered that the men when apprehended by the Leo-
minster police refused to give their names, but they have
since stated them to be George Hanks and George Jones.
They have, however, been identified beyond doubt, as
two noted malefactors, and one of them a prison breaker.
Their real names are Charles Rock and Joseph Moss, and
Superintendent Smith, of the Oxford county police, has
just been over hero and identified them as the men who
broke into the residence of Mr. J. Checkley, farmer, of
Cornwell, Oxfordshire, on the 15th Oct. last, being only a
few days before the Oldbury outrage. At this place they
stole some plate and ether things, a portion of which has
been found in their possession. This burglary was,
like that at Oldbury, accompanied by great violence,
Mr. Checkley having been cruelly beaten and left for
dead. Rock i 6 en escaped convict, having been sen-
tenced to transportation at Oxford, and while in con-
finement at Dartmoor prison he effected his escape.
Moss bas been convicted of sheep-stealing at Chipping
Norton, and it was when in confinement in Oxford
gaol that he formed an acquaintance with his companion
Rock.
The two prisoners were yesterday brought before the
magistrates for examination, and the inquiry caused the
greatest excitement in the town. The justice-room was
besieged at an early hour, and the proceedings were
regarded with the greatest interest. The prisoners are
charged with no less than four offences committed in as
many different counties—viz., the burglary in Oxford-
shire, the Oldbury burglary (Worcestershire), a burg-
lary at Burford (Shropshire), and firing at the police
near Leominster (Herefordshire). The inquiry was
attended by Mr. Harris, chief constable of the Worces-
tershire constabulary force, who applied to the court to
remand the prisoners to Worcestershire, there to beas
