HORRIBLE MURDER OF A RAILWAY

CASHIER.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.
A most painful sensation was crested here yesterday
afternoon by the discovery of a very horrible'and my.
sterious circumstance at the terminus of the Midland
Great Western (Ireland) Railway, the body of Mr. Get.
Little, the cashier, having been found in his office
with the throat cut in a frightful manner, and all the
appearances which led the public to suppose that tle
unfortunate deceased bad committed suicide. It
appeared that in the early part of the morning the
absence of the deceased was not noticed, and that
his office door remained elme.l without attracting
attention until 11 o'clock, when a young lady, his
sister, arrived at the terminue, to inquire about-his ab-
sence, stating that he had not returned home during the
last night. Inquiries viers then made, and one of the
porters observing then for the first time that the ga-
was still lighted, a good deal of alarm was felt. A ladder
was unwired, and a boy entered the room through a
window, whoa be discovered the holy of the unit rtunate
cashier lying on nis face in the midst of a pool of
blood. Trio police were then sent for, the door was
broken open, and., several ipereoue connected- with the
railway entered. The body was examined and fou' d
to be quite oeld, and the throat was cut from ear
to ear, in such a manner as to leave the head almos±
hanging from the body. Such a discovery at the present
moment, when men's minds are filled with reports
of the defalcations of railway and other officials, imme-
diately created the impression that the unfortunate de-
ceased had been guilty of some such breach of trust, at
had sought to escape from the consequences by suicide;
although the circumstance of a large sum of money being
found in his desk, and the statement also made that he
had cleared up his accounts iu a satisfactory manner this
week, were calculated to alter that supposition. Mr.
Hyndman, one of the city coroners, was called in, and
an inquest commenced late in the afternoon ; but only a
very imperfect examination of the circumstances'having
yet been made, the coroner thought it right to arlj )urn
the proceedings to this day, and in the mean time caused
the detective police to make a rigid search on the pre-
mises.
The inquest was resumed shortly after 12 o'clock to-
day, and the circumstances which had turned up in the
mean time left no doubt whatever that the deceased
had been the victim of a most brutal murder. The
instrument with which his throat had been cut had
disappeared, nothing pith a sharp edge having been
found in the room except a penknife, which was quite
clean. The key of the door had also vanished, the
murderer having evidently locked the door and taken
the key with him. A towel was found covered with
marks of blood and some cuts, as if the knife with
which the deed) was done had been wiped in it in a
hasty manner. But when the body was examined by
medical men no further evidence was required that a
murder had been perpetrated. The throat was mangled
in a shocking manner, the lobe of one of the ears was
cut off, and one side of the skull nearly battered in
with some blunt instrument, a circumstance which
was further explained by some clotted blood and
hair found on the poker. Some of the mysterious cir-
cumstances of the case remain, however, still unexplained.
Thus, the large sum of money, amounting to several
hundred pounds in gold and notes, which still laid
on the table, would not indicate that a robbery had been
committed, although it is stated that a large sum besides
that thus undisturbed is missing. The secretary of the
company was examined, and showed that the deceased
had made up his accounts in a satisfactory manner up to
Wednesday fast, and that no circumstances could be dis-
covered to impeach his character in the slightest degree.
After hearing some ether general evidence, as well as
that of the medical gentlemen who had examined the
body, the jury, just at post hour, returned a verdict of
" wilful murder" against some person or persons un-
known.

M. KOSSUTII AT MANCHESTER.

M. Koseuth delivered the last of his series of three
lectures at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on Satur
day evening. The subject was—" The Austrian Con
cordat, a Compliment to the Political system of Conti-
nental Despotism—lmportance of the Concordat, and its
effects on Hungary—its bearing on the interests of Pro-
teseantism." The chair was taken by Dr. Vaughan,
principal of the Lancashire Independent College. As on
previous occasions the lecture was well attended, nearly
4,000 people being present. On the platform were Mr.
J. Watts, Mayor of Manchester, Mr. Kershaw, M.P.,
Mr. A. Watkin, and Mr. G. Wilson.
Dr. VAUGHAN, in opening the proceedings, said in
taking the cbair on this occasion, he thought there was
one remark to which he onghtto give expression. They
were not met this evening, as be understood it, to assail
the religion of any man or any class of men, as religion
proper was a sacred matter—a matter between the indi-
vidual and the Creator, and with that no other men and
no other authority had a right to interfere. (Cheers.)
But when a religion, as a system, takes a political form,
and when, under spiritual pretences, it was found to
meddle with all sorts of worldly things, and to cross the
path of social 'ight and social liberty, then he thought
any man and every man hsd a rt it to deal with it.
In that form it became open to public criticism
and public discussion. This he said concerning religion,
whether it might happen to have its head upon the banks
of the Ganges or on those of the Tibor. That was the
remark to which he thought it right, to give expression.
Now, with regard to their distinguished visitor, who
was about to address them, it would be superfluous to
speak of him, since during five years, wh' n he first came
14 ore them, he bad been upon his trial before the whole
kingdom. Hie opin ons and -principles had been the
'abject of discussion, of applause, and not a little or ill-
usage. But he was' befereethem twilight,- having come
through it all not merely uncrossed, bv.t unscathed.
While he said this, however, he (the chairman) had to
observe it was not to be supposed that by placing them
selves at the feet of the late Governor of Hungary, as a
political teacher, they were here to receive every opinion,
'er shade of opinion, or sentiment he might avow. They
were Englishmen, and trained to listen to instruction,
and judge for themselves. Sure he was, however, that
with the great substance of the sentiments and views to
be brought before them they could cordially concur. For
himself, he would say he was a non-interventionist in
national matters., But then he was for that principle
carried out equally by all. If there was to be non-inter-
vention to set up liberty, surely there should be none to
put it down. To allow non-intervention for tbe rake of
the mighty, to oppress the weak, was another matter.
He could really wish, for the sake of Europe, there could
be a great central power set up at its centre to arbitrate
and secure that all questions between governors and
governed should begin with those parties and end with
those parties. (Cheers.)
M. KOSSUTH then rose, and was received with much
cheering. Before entering on his appointed task, he said,
perhaps ho might be excused if, in connexion with the
grave and just remarks of the chairman, he availed himself
of this opportunity to correct a possible misconception as
to his (M. Koseuth'e) own views as to British foreign
policy. He as well as the chairman was an advocate of
the principle of non-intervention. It had never occurred
to his heart to expect or to desire that Great Britain
should fight the battles of freedom on the continent—
that it should take upon itself to act the part of the
knight-errant for European liberty. What he wished
was to see the great principle of non-intervention pro-
tected by suoh great Powers as the British empire.
He had drawn his opinion with regard to the foreign
policy of Great Britain from the experience recorded in
the brightest page of the history of that policy. He re.
furred to the time of George Canning, who professed
these principles : that every nation had the exclusive
right to select its own form of government, and to regu-
late its own domestic affairs; that no foreign Power on
earth was entitled to interfere with that right, or to con-
trol it ;*and that Great Ditain, desiring to see this right
respected in regard to the walk as in regard to the strong,
was equally prepared to recognise republics as to recog-
nise monarchs. To fight the battles of their freedom was
the business of the nations themselves, and the issue
likewise was theirs ; but he desired to see England acting
on the principle of non-intervention as in the time of
Canning ; and the more so because this view was in Bri
tish history tested by practical experience. In the case
of the emancipation et the Spanish American colonies,
and in that of Portugal, Canning declared to France, then
the executioner of the Holy Alliance, that if she inter-
fered against liberty, then England would interfere for
non-intervention. And did this declaration in either
case involve England in a war ? On the contrary, war
was prevented; the uplifted arm of the united despotisms
of Europe went'doWn before Canning's words, and the
sacred principle of non-intervention. (Cheers.). The sub-
ject of this lecture was "The Austrian Concordat,"
aranidBOve:
which for two years already had added tbe affliction of
agreements between temporal religious intolerance to the political oppression under
relations between Church°
which Hungary still continued to groan. Concordats being
lathe to ecclesiastical affairs, they must of necessity be
in every case a national calamity, because the mutual
domestic national State • gwnseraendevtehreyPw.imiperee,rea-
,ncern, and no State could submit the
regulation of any of its dom •
estic concerns to transactions
with a foreign prince without losing more or less of its
ow
n sovereign independence. The fatal characteristic of
such transactions explained the fact that never, in all the,
past, had a Concordat been concluded in any country,'
except under the compulsion of some imperative neces-
sity, mostly resulting from the arrogant interference of
Rome, The present Austrian Concordat
was, so far as
he knew, the first instance
in history when a temporal
Sovereign was seen submitting to, even courting,
such
an infliction, without the
shadow
any plausible pretext. In of any compu sion or
the dominions of the bigoted
House of Aust • the •
Austria interests of the Rosnish n
stood in the most flourishing condition of security, pros—
perity, and even splendour. He went not at all with the
idea that the State should legislate in affairs of religion.
(Hear.) He wished the time had come when the right of
adoring God according to the dictates of one's conscience
should be as free as the air and as wide as the universe.
(Cheers.) Whenever legislative interference in religious
affairs
appeared a fatal necessity the State should at
least take care to use its own authority, arid not to abdi-
cthoatenit to a foreign Power. The Hungarian nation, C
h cin its majority, yet never until now had allowed
England was less fortunate, or more careless, in former
times, and there was more than enough of Papal inter-
ference with English national concerns ; but now, hap-
pily, her only danger was that of locking herself too
fondly in her security, of neglecting, unlike her sailors,
to take heed of the smallest speck on the remote horizon,
lest a tempest be coeceel in it, for if England allowed
her sworn enemy in principle of despotism to combine
spiritual and temporal means in a coalition, the tempest
might prove too powerful for even Britannia's proud
bark to weather. (Hear.) Towards such a coalition the
present Austrian Concordat was a well-calculated dan-
ger-fraught step. It was not religion about which the
Papacy cared, but " the penny of St. Peter," a modest
expression forth° coveted tribute of a world, and for the
ambition of universal supremacy. Having described the
provisions of time Concordat, M. Kossuth said he now
came to the inquiry how it was that the present Emperor
of Austria, who had recoiled not from crimes innumer-
able to arrive at arbitrary dominion and unlimited des-
potism, had now voluntarily abdicated his ill-gotten
power in favour of the Pope, and in favour of such a
Pope as Pio IX., whom history had proved to be nothing
better than an untuned harp in the hands of malignity.
The strange fact was very ea.ily explained, for we had
but to remember the secret treaty of Verona, dated 22d
Nov., 1822, concluded between the Russian Czar, the
Catholic Emperor of Austria, the Catholic King of
France, acid the Protestant King of Pruecia, from which
treaty he begged to quote the third article. It was as
follows ;
" Convinced that the principles of religion contribute
most powerfully to maintain nations in that state of pas-
sive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high
contracting parties declare that it is their intention to sus-
tain in their respective dominions such measures as the
clergy may adopt for the strengthening of their interests,
intimately associated as they ate with the authority of
princes. The high enitraetieg patties offer, iti addition,
theft common thanks to the Pope for all that lie has already
done for them, and for his continued do-operation with

all this to England he would reply, as Oliver Cromwell
did 200 years ago, " Look how the House of Austria is
prepared to destroy the whole Protestant establishment
in Hungary ! You may say this is a long way off—you
may say, what is it to us ? but I tell yea it c mcarns all
your religions and all the best intere:sts in England."
(Cheers.) And, verily, the time might cow' when many
should say that be who said this was not only a great
captain and an eminent statesman, hut something of a
prophet likewise. A 'distinguished cler4tnan at Liver
pool, having listened to his (M. Kossuth's) lecture on this
subject at Liverpool, said it had cause Chim sleepless
nights, for after pondering over his words he felt im-
pressed with the belief that an immense danger was
gathering over the Christian world. And it was a
sad fact tbat in Europe now the pumber of Protes.
tants was actually smuller in proportion to the whole
population than it was some centuries ago. This fact
told volumes that everything was not with Protestantism
AR it ought to be; the world wanted a new Luther and
a new reformation. (Cheers.) At the conclusf.on of bis
lecture M. Kossuth. said before they parted he bad one
duty yet, as a patriot, to perform. He called on that
numerous and distinguished assembly to say whether it
was true or not that the late Hungarian struggle elicited
a manifestation of British qmoathy throughout the land,
that the public throughout Great Britain in most une-
quivocal language condemned the atrocious, tyrannical
character of the House of Austria, and had branded it
with the etlirma of general reprobation"? (Loud cheers,
and three greana for Austria.) He begged to say. that he
held in his possession some 130 addresses of towns and
corporations, which handed down to history the fact that
the British people had most unequivocally expressed
their detestation of Austrian cruelty and injustice ; and
his presence here on this occasion, not by uncalled for
obtrusion, but on invitation, and the reception he had
met with was another proof of that sympathy, not for
himself, but for his country's cause. He had visited
Liverpool, Leeds, Darlington, Newcastle, Edinburgh,
Glasgow, and other large towns, and he had requisitions
to visit upwards of 100 other towns—(cheers)—several
of them bearing thousands of signatures, and all of them
full of expressions of sympathy for Hungary, and of re.
probation of the crimes of Austria. Now, all this gave
him the right to my that the opinion of the British
people was as decided now on this subject as it had been
these five years past ; yet, with thee facts entered upon
the records of history, he had the deep mortification to
learn that the British Government was about to Qom•
olete a new alliance with the murderer of Hungarian and
Italian liberty. It was scarcely possible to enter on such
a subject without using expressions which it wottld he
unbecoming to him as a stranger to employ. He would
only ask in what light would Great Britain appear if,
after all the expressions of sympathy he had referred to,
she were to enter into such an alliance ? (Cheers.)
The CHAIRUAN said after the appeal which had just
been made to them it was proposed to offer a resolution
before the meeting separated.
Mr. FILDE, town councillor, here came forward and
moved the following resolution :
" That this meeting cordially sympathises with Louis
Ko-suth in his continued protest against the usurpation
by the Austrian Government of the constitutional rights
of Hungary, and views with detestation the conduct of
A ustria towards Hungary, Italy, and Poland, and re-
pudiates any further alliance on the part of this country
in relation to the affairs of foreign States with a Power
which stands pre-eminent in Europe for acts of betrayal
to those who trust her, and for hostility to freedom
wherever her influence is felt."
The motion was received with cheers.
Mr. H. RAWSON seconded the resolution.

The CHAIRMAN said the motion did not deprecate the
peaceful relations between this country and Austria, but
all " further" relations that would entangle us in her
possible bad deeds.

The motion was carried unanimously, and with loud
deem

The meeting separated after a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.

The elevation of Sir Alexander Cockburn to the Chief
Justicesbip of the Court of Common Pleas (with, it is
understood, a peerage), creates a vacancy in the repre-
sentation of Southampton. A host of candidates have
c me forward, the names of no less than seven gentlemen
having been mentioned within the last few days who are
desiross of contesting the borough. Up to this day the
addresses to the electors of only two have been pubtisbed
—viz., that of Mr. Edwin James, Q C., who comes for-
ward in the Liberal interest, and who states in his
appeal to the electors that he shall reserve till the first
opportunity that is given him a personal declaration o
his political principles ; and of Mr, Sergeant Pigott,
whose address, among other paragraphs, contains the

following :
" The benefits of free trade have now been ascertained by
experience, and its former opponents have become admirers
of its principles; I was always convinced of their sound-
ness, and am desirous of seeing them extended to the ut-
most.

" The Parliamentary suffrage has not, in my opinion, ar-
rived at ' finality' point. I am favourable to its extension,
believing that the spread of education has fitted a large
class pi operly to exercise the iavaluable right of voting at
elections, and that it is a mere act of justice to concede the
privilege to those who are qualified to use it.
"I am prepared to support the principles of the ballot
as the only means of shielding the voter from undue inter-
ference,

" I approve the system of education founded upon the
voluntary principle, and should oppose as impracticable
any law for enforcing a rate for the purpose.
" I am favourable to the abolition of church rates.

" I should think it my duty to prevent lavish expendi-
ture in any of the departments of the Government, and to
enforce as far as possible a retrenchment of the national
expenses.
I should hail with satisfaction any addition to the
small family of constitutional Governments in Europe, but
I should object to sacrifice to experiment the true doctrine
of non-intervention in the domestic affairs of nations.
" A. return to a state of war I should regard as a great
misfortune, but I am prepared to support the declaration
of Lord Palmerston, that the treaty of Paris must be fully
and faithfully observed..
" The great principles of civil and religious liberty in
every form and phase would ever find in me an advocate
for their protection and full development.
" The present Government would find me a supporter
as long as liberal and efficient measures constitute their
title to power."

Among other candidates whose names have been men•
tioned are Mr. Wegeulin, the Governor of the Bank
of England, and Captain A/angles, the Chairman
of the West India Mail Steatnpacket Company.
The latter gentleman has, however, it is stated,
already relinquished his intention of contesting the elec-
tion. The Conservatives will, it is said, bring forward
as their candidate Sir Edward Butler, vrho appears to
base his chance of success upon the fad that be is
actively engaged in a very popular local scheme for

a Tory candidate would have in succeeding in a Liberal
borough like Southampton. At present the Liberal
party seem disposed to support the pretensions of Mr.
Edwin James, but there are complaints that, as too
many lawyers already sit in the House of Commons, it
would be probable that if some gentleman of extensive
commercial influence and experience, and connected with
the great enterprises of the port, were to offer himself in
the Liberal interest, he would receive the adhesion of
the mercantile and trading portion of the community. It
is uncertain when the election can take place, as there is
some question as to whether the seat can be filled up
before the meeting of Parliament in February. The
state of the law is understood to be that shot:act the At-
torney-General be made a peer before his appointment

let'' LATE EARL OF SCIRBOROUGEL—The
late Earl of Scanilnionet,h possessed very large estates in
Yorkshire, Nuttinghamsitiro, Lincolnshire, and Durham,
in too disposal of which he was entirely unfettered, the
entail having been gut off. According to the Doncaster
Olirchiicle, his Lordship somewhat early in life became
intimate iftench lady, who, for some cause or
other, had left the home oft bee husband in her native
country, and by whom he had three coal and a d tighter.
To the eldest of these, at present Charger d'Affaires at
Washington, the deceased peer has lett a life annuity of
5001. &year ; to the second son, 'Captain Lumley, Ist
Life Guards, the Saville property, consisting of what is
usually called the Rufford estate, with a nominal rental
of 37,0001. a-year •to the third son, the Rev. F.
W. S. Lumley, a trifling legacy ; and to his
daughter a small annuity. The Sandbeck estate and
the remaining property are left to his lordship's cousin,
the present Earl of Scarborough. The Sandbeck and
Rufford estates are, however, charged with the liquida-
tion of a debt of 170,0001., being a portion of the liabili-
ties, amounting to 200,0001., incurred by the late earl
prior to his accession to the property. The Sandbeck es-
tate with its rental of 23,0001. a-year, is charged with
the sum of 90,0001., and the Rufford estate, with a rental
of 37,0001. a-year, with 80,0001. The succession duty
on the former estate is 10 per cent., and ea the latter 6
pa Oat.
