THE LATE MURDER AT WINTON.

We regret (says the Manchester Mercury of the 80th) that
neither of the men concerned in the late dreadful murder at
Winton, have yet been apprehended ; but a due has been obtained
which, we hope, will lead to their apprehension. On Saturday,
Mr. Lavender, having learnt that Mrs. Stewart who was a wit-
ness at the coroner's inquest had received a letter in a mysterious
manner, went to his house, to melte enquiry respecting it. Ou
-his way he learnt, that on Wednesday morning a woman came to
a lad in Smithy Door, who sells gingerbread, and
saistidhimgaiverecleiiimveda
letter, which she desired him to take to Mrs. Stewart, which he
did, When Mr. Lavender questioned Mrs. Stewart she at kilt

scription of the writing, it appears to have beta the writing of
Michael *Kean, and refereed to himself end his brother : it
stated that the people might condemn them for what had hap-
pened near &doe, yet they were not so much to blame as might
be supposed, for what was done, they did in their own defence;
that they were attacked by the landlord, and one of them was
wounded before they committed violence on any one; that Mrs.

TATTERSALL'S, MAY 311.

' This day being the settlitir foe the Derby and Oaks, the room,.
the yetd, and every avenue leading to them, were, at an early
hour, ert'lleffed, not on - by every class of speculators, but by a
great number Who were atirts,:ted by the rumour that there would
be hot work aboi:t The General. The latter portion of the visi-
tors were, however, greatly disappoin:f4t for a quieter settling
day we do not recollect. It WAS generOv understood, at the
opening, that all bets respecting the above h„:vse must be paid,
and that those who withheld their payments witZ,out showing
good cause, would be looked upon as defaulters. Paytu.:s and re-
ceiving, therefore, commenced, atul continued till about.' three
' o'clock uninterruptedly, when the arrival of hir. Farquhar:le"
slightly broke in upon the hitherto monotonaus routine of the
day. We should premise that this gentleman. has been one of the
firmest believers in the report that all was not right with respeCt
to The General, and that he has openly expressed himself, in
, strong terms, of the conduct of those at whom the rumour ap-
peared to'point. When, therefore, Mr. F. entered the room; it
was expected by all parties that he would at` once broach the sub-
ject, attd, in, fulfilment of this expectation, that gentleman unite-
diately took 4 statement from his pocket, which he offered to read
to those present ; hut, on it being 'suggested that the matter
would come under the notice of the Jockey Club, and that all
beta were in the course of payment, it would be best to drop the
subject, Mr. Farquharson acquiesced in the propriety of this re-
commendation, anti directly paid his bets. We are acquainted
with the statement intended to have been read, which is briefly
thus :—lt begins by stating, that Mr. Thornhill (owner of The
General) having demanded from Mr. Farquharson an explanation,
of his expressions impugning the character of Mr. T. he (Mr.
F.) could only•give public rumour us his authority, that was, the
evidence WAS only hear-say, and it was impossible to give proof of
the truth of the reports circulated; but that he bad been told that
Mr. Thornhill had, some time ago, ceased to be the actual ort'Act
of the horse, who was not free to start, and that if the " horse
really was ill, it was easy for Mr. T. to satisfy all parties, by
showing him to the public. This was the substance of the paper,
by which it will be seen that there is little chance of any thing
being proved, to justify the Jockey Club in giving any judgment
unfavourable to the owner of the horse, particularly as' it appears
to us that the onus of proof rests with Mr. Farquharson.
___.

The above affair being at rest, the biisittess of the day proceeded,
and terminated to the apparent satisfaction of all present, though
it must be confessed that a few paid their debts in rather an un-
gracious manner.

- It is mid that, in round numbers, the party against The Gene-
ral have won about 200,0001. ; one gentleman nets 10,2001.,
having, by a strange fortune, betted against about twenty Inured
for the-Oaks, without, including the witu►er, which he backed.
We are happy to add, that there do not appear to be any. de-
faulters.

After the settling was over, a few bets were made, but the
only ORO worth -mentioning WAS SO to 1 against Forth's lot, for
the Leger.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY 30.

Mr. Charles Severne, anti Mr. Malcolm Orme, who had been
admitted Proctors in the Court of Arches, the last Court day,
were now admitted Proctors of the High Court of Admiralty,
after taking the usual oaths. -
THE EALING GROVE.

Au application was made in this case on behalf of lune§ Car-
man, a seaman belonging to the Ealing Grave, a ship') trading to
the West Indies, for wages, which was opposed by the owners,
on the alleged grounds, that the seaman had been guilty °farts of
insubordination when on board the vessel during its voyage, and
atter the vessel had arrived at Dominica, with desertion.

It seems that Colman was engaged, with several other sea-
men, to perform the voyage, and in December last set sail.
According to the depositions put forth by the owners, be
was guilty of great impropriety of conduct, of frequent in-
kntication, and exhibited a dissatisfied disposition daring the
voyage. The vessel had not even left the Downs before ho
manifested a spirit of insubordination, and when on the voyage
he often evinced a headstrong temper. On the arrival of
the ship at Dominica, in February, Its went ashore and stayed many
hoar longer than put was permitted, oznil refused to retmn, so
that it became necessary to apply to a Megistrate, charging hint
with desertion. He was committed to prison, and there remained
until the vessel was ready to return to England, when he was
taken on board, and again brought to this country.
Dr. Lusnitiorow was beard at some length on behalf of the
Mariner, and Dr. JINNER for the owners ; after which

Lord Svows.Lt. said, he would take home the papers and peruse
them before be gave his final judgment.

NEW CORN EXCHANGE MEETING.

A Meeting of the Subscribers to the projected New
Corn gxchange took place yesterday, at the premises
of the New Company in Mark Lane,

THOMAS ISAAC DIMSDALE in the Chair.

Mr. TILS(4I4 the Solicitor to the Company, said,
that it was well known to the Meeting that there
were an immense number of subscribers to the under-
taking. By the Act of Parliament, the capital to be
raised was 90,0001. and it was necessary, before such
act could be obtained, that the whole sum should be
subscribed. To carry this object into effect, several
of the parties, who were Shareholders, were waited
Upon, and the whole amount was almost immediately
signed for. The Royal Assent was
The Company was
to be divided into 1,600 shares, at 501. a share, and,
within thirty days of the passing of the Act, a Gene-
ral Meeting of the Subscribers was to be held, for
electing ten Directors and two Auditors. The Act
also empowered them to open a communication with
the present Corn Exchange.--(Applause.)
The CuAIItMAN said, he felt it requisite to inform
them, that there was an understanding now between
themselves and the Committee of the Old Corn Ex-
change, by which the compensation to be given to the
latter would be about one-twentieth less than what
wits originally demanded by them. (Hear, hear!) The
freehold of the old Market its Committee had valued
at 48,0001. and the good-will, &c. about 1'2,0001.
more, making a sum of sixty thousand pounds. He
was happy to say, that this Company was started upon
principles which would be of the most essential ser-
vice to the community at large. (Hear, hear, hear!)
The intention of the Committee was raise a Market

Trade. -It was highly necessary that a market of this

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

WAY EXTRACTE FROM THE IHOREINU PAPERS,
MAY 31, 1826.

ITNE TIMES.]

The Irish journals, like our own, are filled with
details and specu lotions on the subject (40% approach-
ing election. But in Ireland the holies and fears, and
,general excitement attending tile occasion, are of a
much less complicated aaracter than those which it
producos here. I:ne Irish care little for the abolition
of the corn if they db not rather deprecate such
a charir7o. They are slightly touched by those argil-
oier:ts upon free trade and monopoly, which it was the
glory of a former generation of their countrymen to
have identified with the dearest interests of the island.
A sound currency—a curtailment of public extrava-
gance—a practical reform in the constitution of Par-
liament—a generous support of liberty abroad ;—all
these are but idle sounds with the self-absorbed and
home-bestridden patriots of the sister kingdom. Thu
question of emancipation is, to these our brethren,
like his Keran to the Mussulman. What is not found
there, they arc taught to throw aside, as a thing pro-
fane, or utterly contemptible. The whole value and
importance, therefore, of a general election to the
politicians of Ireland, consists in its tendency to
strengthen or impair the cause of Catholic Emancipa-
tion. Wt do not wonder at this. We cannot be dis-
posed to blame the engrossing violence of a spirit,
quite natural in itself, which narrows all the ends of
party, and all the obligations of State policy, to one
individual measure. Because the truth is, that unless
f4T,'IIeVaIICCS be taken up seriatim, each in its turn being
permitted to engage the whole mind, and to employ,
all the efforts and energies of a people, there is little
'chance of obtaining redress for wrongs however nu-
merous, or alleviation to sutrerings however unmerited
and acute. We would recommend our Irish brethren
to persevere in this singleness of purpose, Let them
think of emancipation as the only good to be struggled
for, since it is the chief and most intelligible to the
entire nation. Let the fitness of every public man
for a seat in Parliament be measured by this definite
standard, until their point he gained. If we • may
judge by the descriptions of the ensuing contests, it
would seem that the friends of the Catholics are not
likely to be diminished in number or efficiency by the
results of the election ; and we only trust that the
animosity inseparable from such scenes may not long
survive the circumstances which occasion it.
