BARBAROUS Mu anea.----01 Friday last were;

Edward Jones, and RI7
thard the murder of John
Gunter, a pOor harmless shoemaker, who lived on
the side of the Skirrid Hill, about three Utiles
froM Abergaitenny. It 'appeared, on the eotifes-:
sioit of cliuggand Jones, that Owen, about two
years agO, had stolen a game-cock !rpm the der
`cease'!, with caused him to •y a guinea to make
pa . ,
it up ; When Owen observed, ". that he would he,
sure to fetch it out of him, even if k were. t arenty
,
years afterwards ;" and on Monday night last, he
put' Ills dreadful threat into execution, by going
with the other two tinfortunate,prlsoners to Gun-
ter's finttat, about 'tWelve O'clock at night, first
pulling `off their clothes in a field adjoining the
house, and blacking their faces, 'lmmediately on
breaking in, they dragged the deceased out of
bed,• pot a rope round his neck, and endeavoured
to bang him, but the room was too low for that
purpose. Owen'then struck' bins on the bead with
an 'axe, and. completed his bloody intention 'by
cutting him aunts the head and temple, until he
had killed him. ()Wen lived in a cottage about a
mile-frontAbi-rgavenny, and has been a bad Cha-
racter for some years ;
.Chngg is about IS,• and
epptar4 to•baVe 'been drawn in entirely from giv-
ing way to.b‘ad company.; and Jones is a travel-
hug tinker, but has been acquainted with Owen
for sonic time past. Great credit is clue to the
Magistrates of Abergavenny, and particularly to
Njr..Prothetoe, of Newport; by whose exertions
alone. Jones and Chugg were taken.—.-(Gloucester

SRlClDB.—Yesterday a young man, named
Widen, recently from the country, who resided at.
the Shears '1 a ver n , Wood•sneet, Cheapside, put
an end to his existence by taking poison. The
deceased had since his arrival in London formed
an attachment to the servant of a chemist ia
Wood-street ; site did not discourage, his ad-
dresses, and his affection.tor her was of the most
ardent description. Within the last few weeks
his mind bad been distracted with something,
but his friends could not divine the cause ; he
grew cheerless and: titulanchoy, and could not
attend to his business. Yesterday he went, into
liollaUen, and to9k leave of :a friend, aid Culled
a,t viuce vaults, and'drank an excessive JuJantity
of spirits ;he went borne in- a state. of intuxica
i;ou to IVoml-street ; somebody expressed their
:stupri;e at his situation; he. immediately left the
lioast;,.,, went to achemist's opposite, tsnd.purchased
an ounce of sugar of lead, with which boot-tops.
are Cleaned, and which he afterwards swallowed,.
having mixed it in some water in >i tea cup. tie
soon was in the most excruciating pain, and run
-
;ling over to the chemist's, told hint what .he
bad done ; be also acknowledged what was the
cause of his taking it. The -female whom, he
'loved had transferred.ber affections to another.—
ehernit administered a most powerful anti-
tiote,*bat'the coat of his stomach wavalmnst en-
tirely desti'oyed, and he died in the shop Mai tew
minutes.
Neatly 400/. in base shillings and
,half-crowns, .

just after their arrival from the Birmingham mar.
nufactory. A father and son, named Dalton, are

:duped the innkeepers of this town, of Chester,
and Birmingham, by fictitious grief, and at•
tempts at suicide, has practised the same ma-
neeuvres, at Gravesend, Margate, Chatham, and
Canterbury. At Portsea she used to throw.blood
off her stomach, and pretend delirium. , She
dresied very plain and neat, bordering on, th;
custom otQaakers; and generally, in her discourse,.
used yea %tit( nay : she said her mother, Was
'Qaskeress. She was confined in Gosport Bride-
well.--(Shrewsbury Paper.)
