MURDER AT QUA—DRING, NEAR
S PALD IN G, LIN COLN SRI RE.
(mom A CORRESPONDENT.) On Friday morning last the inhabitants or this ,41-
a
lage were thrown into a state of alarm by the report
that Miss Mary Spencer was murdered. The parti'
culars are as follow :—Mary Spencer kept a day-schoel
in Quadring, and resided in a small cottage left by
her father, consisting of two rooms on the ground-
floor, the smaller room being her sleeping-room, and. 0
the other one the school-room. Three children went
as usual on Friday-morning at nine o'clock to the '1
deceased's house, and on opening the door saw her
lying across a form in the school-room, dressed only
in her night-clothes, and a quantity of blood upon the
floor ; they immediately ran away in terror, and told
a neighbour what they had seen. The person on going
to the spot saw Mary Spencer lying across a form as
described. On Mr. Morris, surgeon, of Gosbertow, being
called in, he found a wound from the right ear, under
the throat, to the chest, about nine inches in length.
and dividing the carotid artery, and pronounced that
she must have bled to death. On. examining the
house, it appeared that a back window adjoining the
bed had been broken open, and that the murderer had
made an entrance. It is supposed that the deceased.
in attempting to escape, got near the street door, but
was pulled back by the monster, and stabbed as de-
scribed. It is supposed that he was alarmed and then 4'
made off. A man named Wm. Howett, a labourer, f.
was apprehended on Friday night on suspicion, under
the following singular circumstances. On the day
of the discovery Mr. Loughland, a land surveyor,
whilst measuring some land, met a neighbour, and
talking about this tragical event, a labourer (the
father of Howett), who was sitting by taking son3e
refreshment and listening to the conversation, ex-
claimed,
" I wonder what Bill's been up to, he was
out all night, and came home all over bloOd." Mr-
Loughland immediately informed a constable at Dor-
nington, who took Howett into custody. The inquest
was held at the Red Cow Inn, at Quadring, on Satur-
day, and was adjourned till Thursday next. No
doubt is entertained as to the guilt of the prisoner.
We hear that a clasp-knife was found upon. him wit
blood upon it ; he is deaf and dumb, though quite
sane, and about 26
years of age. The deceased was
41 years of age, and much respected.

PROM. A CORRESPONDENT..
MONDAY.--The following Lords of the Admiralty,
accompanied by the Hon. Sidney Herb( i (SecretarY)
arrived here on Saturday night on an official visit to J.,
the Dockyard :—The Earl of Haddiington Sir G.
Cockburn, and Admiral Sir G. Seymour. A salute
of 19 guns was fired at an early hour on Sunday's, morning. During the forenoon their Lordships visited'',;
a part of the grounds of Mount Edgecumbe towards—*: the sea, where the ocean has made some inroads on
the land, in consequence it is said of the Breakwater
causing a current to set in on that part of the coast
with destructive force; the Earl of Mount Edge'
cumbe has applied to the Admiralty for some protec"
tive means of defending his beautiful domain against
the gradual destruction that must otherwise ensue.
Their. Lordships attended divine service, in the Dock-
yard Chapel in the afternoon, and in the evening-en-
tertained the officers in commission and the heads of
departments at dinner. They have visited the
Dockyard this morning, which presents a busy scene
from the preparations for the launch of the Albion, $
fine vessel of 98 guns, an event of no small import-
ance in the port. The formal inspection and muster
of the men in the yard, takes place to-morrow, when
the Albion will be launched at five in the afternoon.
The official levee of the Earl of Haddington for com-
missioned officers is fixed for Wednesday next.
