MURDER AT CAMBERWELL.

FURTHER PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY.)
It appears that Irons had been out on Friday, and re-
turned about six o'clock. The two female servants were
then in the attic, and he rung the bell violently. The de-
ceased came down and complained of it, and accused him
of being drunk, and threatened to inform his master of his
irregularities. They continued quarrelling after Harriet
Fisk had joined them. He then went up stairs, and re-
turned shortly, taking a seat in the kitchen, where the two
females were sitting at • work. He sat with them
thus for about a quarter of an hour, during
which some recrimination passed between them, which
ended by deceased saying that she would have nothing
more to say to him. Some milk was then brought to the
dairy, by the gardener, and the cook went to receive it.
The last words she heard were from the prisoner, who asked
deceased if she meant to get him out of his situation.
When in the dairy, she heard a violent explosion. On re-
turning to the kitchen, she saw the deceased lying on the
floor with her head blown asunder. The prisoner admitted
that he had done the deed, and said that he must answer for
it. He poi...ted out a horse pistol, with which he said he
had shot her ; and stated that he had doubly charged it.
Assistance was procured, and the prisoner, who gave
himself up willingly, was handcuffed, and asked the
patrol to let him see her again. He then went to a win-
dow which looked into the kitchen, and observed—" Ali,
there she lies, dead enough, and this hand has done it.
It's horrible to see the blood, though." The blood was
flowing across the kitchen, and the unfortunate girl was
lifeless. He never expressed either a motive or sorrow
for having done it, but requested the officers not to ill-use hint.
On his way to Camberwell watch-house, he told Claridge,
the patrol, that he should have been .23 in May, but he
knew that he should be cut off before then. The pri-
soner had lived with Mr. Langton for about two years.—
The deceased had been housemaid to him seven years,
and would have been 28 on Wednesday next.—
The corpse of the unfortunate girl, thus precipitated from
the world in an instant, presented an appearance too horrible
to describe. A large orifice under the left ear had been
caused by the shot, which had divided all the arteries on that
side, had detached the cheek bone from the scull on the
other, and had lodged in the wall opposite. Her features,
which had in life been regular, were so horribly distorted
that no one could have recognised her. The whole was
rendered indescribably appalling by the ends of a skewer
which fastened the cheek to the head, sheaving themselves
on each side of it. She was removed to the Regency
public-house, Hearne-hill, where the inquest will be held
this day at two o'clock. The prisoner was seen in the
day with a new shot belt and powder flask, which he said
he had purchased for shooting sparrows. The explosion
was so strong that a considerable quantity of soot was
brought down the chimney. On entering Horsemonger-
lane Gaol the prisoner looked up to the usual place of exe-
cution, and a spasmodic sort of " Ah,'' seemed to shake
his frame. A circumstance which in no slight degree added
to Cie distress of this accident was, that the mother of
Mrs. Langton died the day before. The pistol was a large
horse one, which was hot when taken from the prisoner's
hand. There is no doubt that he bad it loaded and con-
cealed about his person when the cook left the kitchen.

LIBERATION Or W. DYON AND HIS
Sox.—After a most minute examination of William
Dyon and his son, at Bawtry, ou Friday night, the
evidence produced was found not only inadequate to sup-
port the suspicion of criminality, but was altogether so
favourable, that the Magistrates liberated them on their
own recognizances to appear when called upon. Nothing
further has transpired ; but the utmost exertions are still
making to discover the murderers.— York Herald of
Saturday.

ANNIVERSARY OF ST. DAVID.-011 Sa-
turday the Society of Ancient Britons assembled at the.
Freemason's Tavern, to celebrate their national anniver-
sary festival with a public dinner. About 500 persons
attended on the occasion, and the gallery was crowded with
ladies, whose presence added much to the elegance and
brilliancy of the scene. His Royal Highness the Duke of
CLAILENCE took the Chair, supported on the right and
left by the Bishop of St. Davin's and Sir W. W. WYNN.
During dinner a full band of musicians and several Welsh
harpers performed alternately pieces of national music.—
After dinner a very interesting spectacle gratified the as-
sembly : all the children of this ancient institution (con-
sisting of 100 boys and 50 girls) entered the ball, and
walked twice round it in procession, while the orchestra,
played an appropriate march. Lord KeNvow enumerated
the subscriptions, amongst which were 50/. from her
Royal Idighness the Duchess of CLAnExcE. The dona-
tions of the present year, he said, amounted to 1,025/. and
the subscriptions to 1,105/. Ss. 44. exclusive of the profits
arising from a ball, 5001. His Royal Highness left the
chair at 11 o'clock, and seemed fully to participate in
the festal spirit which animated the company.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.—March I.

We had a large attendance of cotintry Millers and
Dealers at market to-day, and but few samples of fine
Wheat offering ; however, the trade in this article is dull
at the quotations subjoined. There is very little inquiry
for Grinding Barley ; and Oats having been reduced in
price, have in some degree created a speculative demand
at the rates below for fine feed and mealing qualities. In
Boiling Pease there is very little doing, and Beans remain
dull. The Malt market is extremely depressed, and some
sales have been made for money in course of the week at
10s. a 425. per load. The demand for Flour is not good,
the prices remain as on this day-week.
