HORRID MURDERS. -SUSPECTED
PARRICIDE.

_ We yesterday gave a brief account of the horrid
murder of Mr. CHANNEL, of Godalming, and of
his housekeeper. Last evening we learned the
following further particulars :
" On Tuesday morning a man who bad stime
_shoes making at the.house of Mr. Chennel, shoe-
maker, Godaltniag, went to inquire i 1 they were.
done ; on opening the door, 'the first object that
caught his eye was the body of Mr. Chennel's
,housekeeper lying on the kitchen floor, with her
throat cut in a shocking manner. He was terri•
fled at the sight, and called in some of the neigh-
hours ; they found the floor nearly covered with
blood, and the old woman quite dead and cold.
They proceeded up stairs, and there they were
riDeast, transfixed
.jsvith horror, at seeing Mr.
•Cbennel on the ground, a shocking spectacle, his
head urly,severed, from his body, and his body-
brei,edvvarious parts,. which_ strewed that he.
twist have had a severe struggle wish the mur-
derer. He' was quite cold,' which is the retool,
far supposing that the diabolical attack and
man murders were committed on the preceding
night..
" Upon a further examination of 'the body of
the housekeeper,_it was found that her skull was
fractured. A hammer which was found on the
wound (which. Mr. Chennel used in his business)
aoseared to have been the instrument with which
the blow, was given, as the face of it corresponded
eaactly with the indention in the skull. Informa-
tion was given to the Angistrates in the neigh-
bourhood inunediately of the dreadful transaction,
and they with geeat.promptiiude caused au inane-'
&ate investigation to take place, for the purpose'
of discovering the perpetrator or perpetrators. of
the murders. Lord Middleton, who is in the
Commission forthe county of Surrey, was, as we
stated yestexday, very active in causing an imme-
diate examination of all persons who could by
their evidence afford' the least clue to the appre-
hension of those who committed the foul needs.
Upon inquiry, it was found that the son of Mr.
Chennel, who is married, and lived a considera-
ble distance front his father's house (who a short
time ago married a -Woman with a handsome pro-
perty, but unfortunately for her has by his .mis-
conduct spent it all), was in the neighbourhood
of his father's house onAhe night when the, mur-
ders were committed. Other circamstances•trans-,
spired which caused a further suspicion of the son,
and the Magistrates had him arrestedattid,brought
before them far examination; when ii appeared
that on Moodily night the,prisoner'wes drinking
at ft public house, a short distance from
and that between nine and ten O'clock be
lett the publie-honse, and was absent some time;
whin he returned he drank some porter, -and re-
mained drinking in the house. He solemnly de-
mes 'an kuowledge,,of alse affair; there was no
evidence to implicate bins further than we have
stated, except that be has lately been very wild,
and had given great uneasiness to his respectable
parent. The deceased was well known to possess
considerably property, and.. that is supposed to
have been the object of those, who committed the.
murder, but whether any property has been taken
;s. not yet positively. known. The prisoner was
remanded until the COr,oner's Inquest has taken
place, and the decision of the Jury is, known."

BOXING.

REYNOLDS AN!) JOHNSON.

This match, which was to have come off on
Tuesday at CanterbUry, has occasioned much dis-
appoiptment amongst: the lads or the fancy. . The,
stake, with a subscription purse added, was for
a hundred, and Reynolds, Who'had figured away
with much gallantry with the scientific Belasco,
and lastly with Clam*, was backed with Much
eagerness at 5 to 2 and' 3 to I.—His antagonist
wa, accounted a real, bred one of •the Gypsey or-
der, who had a,quired'inach• provincial fame, or,
a fighting phrase, had n6lied an before hint
who had a taste for the game. It syas Oven out
early in the morning that the fighting forces must
from Canterbury. The patties made a
retrogeild,e movement towards the coast, anal the
ling being formed, a neighbouring Magistrate in-
,
tertered, and the whole svv•e again •rotited: A
third ling was; formealie.rween, Canterbury and
Margate, at a village called Saints, and the men
.touted to in a hurry, to avoid.being again disturbed.

THE BATTLE.
Reyttolds appeared anxious to get possession of the parse,
and he went iip to his adversary's. head, and floored him mas-
terly. The gypsey soon began to find that his provincial po-
pularity wa, very temporary ; bat he shelved himself well on his
feet ; not like a Carter or a Randall, but in the (key Pi;style,
to avoid a troublesome cuStonier. Reynolds lost his coolness
of temper, but the gypsey was too good a judge to face him.
He got to all parts of the ring, and shewed off plenty of pan-
tomimic manuouvres. Reynolds manoeuvred to get'at him in
the 6th round, and he held hint up and shewed oft upon him
uumercifully. In no single instance, after this, would the
gypsey give away a chance, and Reynolds stood, by way of
invitation to hits, with his arms folded ; but the gypsey
sparred at respectful distance; and after 35 minutes another
enemy appeared, and it was a saving hedge to Johnson.
The ring was broke in, to the great satisfaction of the men
of Kent, who backed the Gyiwy ; and the Londoners, who
went down to flat them, in backing their invineille little
hero, wore faces which were aptly described by a - wag as
long as front London to Carlisle. The cavalcade returned to
Canterbury upon speculation, to pay their expences, no/ens
volen.v.

SAW• DUST CONVERTED INTO WOOD---The pos-
sibility of converting saw-dust into wood must
now no longer be spoken of •as a jest. M.
MEtax.i,,ofßerlin, has discovered a process by
which mahogany saw-dust may be formed into a
paste, which, by exposure to-air, becomes as hard
as stone. The statues and other ornaments made
of this paste are said to vie in elegance with the
finest works In bronze, and come but to one-
eighth of the expeuce.
