MURDER.

The inhabitants of Saddleworth have been thrown
into considerable agitation by the following circum-
stances :—About twenty-two weeks ago a young
man, living in Saddleworth, was missed, and his
relations were quite at a loss to know what had be-
come of him ; but he having been a reprobate and
loose character for some years, they imagined that
he had fled the country with some of his companions.
A few days ago, however, a prisoner in Wakefield
House of Correction, instigated, as he says, by the
continual stings and upbiaidings of his consc►ence,
made the following disclosure :—He says the young
man had, with him and others, been concerned in
a robbery iu the neighbourhood, • and that having
reason, from what he had said, to think that he
would divulge and turn King's evidence, they en-
ticed him to a shed erected over or near an old coal-
pit, under pretence of arranging and agreeing upon
another robbery. When there they took an oppor-
tunity of seizing him and throwing him down the pit;
but before they could accomplish there purpose, the
young man struggled very hard, and in the struggle
got the head of one of the meu under his arm, and
stuck to it so close that in his fall he took the man's
hat along with him. The pit has, since this con-
fession, been searched, and the body and hat found.
An inquest was held over the body, on Thursday,
but adjourned to a future time, in order to afford an
opportunity of taking into custody the others im-
plicated in the murder. But of eourFe a verdict
will be returned agreeably to the above facts.—

At the Cork Assizes, BARTHOLOMEW NEAL,
aged 18 years, and ALICE BENNIS, a woman much
advanced in years, were indicted for conspiring to murder
Mrs. JANE TRAIL'. They were both found Guilty, and
sentenced to transportation for life.

At the Old Bailey Sessions on Saturday,
MOSES JACOBS was indicted for feloniously setting fire to
his house in Phoenix-street, Soho-square, with intent to
defraud the Sun Fire-office. The Jury prononnced the
Prisoner Not Guilty. The prisoner immediately quitted
the bar, and several of his friends shook him by the hand,
and congratulated him on the result of the trial.
