a man, as a county Member, stood as high as any man

from those two counties than the amount of the mono-
polists' -majority last time.—(Loud cheers.) Why, in
the Mete village, as he might call it, of Hebden Bridge,
in Yoeitshire, there were forty free traders marching
down, in a body to qualify for North Cheshire.—(Loud
cheors.) Well, with what Stockport and Macclesfield
could do for themselves, and Hyde, which was a host,
'they would have North Cheshire, and have it
booked as safe as any borough by the next revision.—
(Loud cheers.) He did not imagine it was imprudent
or incautious to say so in this public way. He knew
there were persons there from all parts, not only from
North Cheshire, but beyond North Cheshire ; and he

THE ALLEGED MURDER AT
SALT-HILL.
LATEST PARTICULARS.

SLOUGH, THURSDAY EVENING.—WhiIe the jury were
deliberating upon their verdict yesterday afternoon, the
prisoner, who was in an ante-room, asked more than
once, " How long do you think they will be now ?"
Upon being told they would probably be half an hour
longer, he betrayed great mental agitation. On entering
the room to be informed by the coroner of the verdict of
the jury, he recovered himself, and heard the purport of
the verdict with great apparent coolness. Indeed his
fortitude while he was in the jury-room never once ap-
peared to forsake him, listening with considerable
earnestness and attention to the application made by his
counsel for the restoration of his watch and the money
found in his possession. On being taken back to his
private room, at the Three Tuns, he became greatly
agitated, and was at his own request supplied with
brandy and water. His solicitor, Mr. Bevan, of the Old
.Jewry, London, and another professional gentleman, had
a long private interview with him previously to his
leaving for Aylesbury Gaol.
A large concourse of persons had assembled outside
of the house, to have a view of the prisoner on his de-
parture ; and it was with difficulty that the police were
enabled to protect him from the threatened attacks of
the mob, as he walked to the vehicle that was to convey
him to prison. Their yells and hootings greatly discon-
certed him, and he appeared terribly alarmed for his
personal safety. Upon arriving at Amersham, a distance
of fourteen miles, and about half-way between Salt-hill
and Aylesbury, he prisoner alighted at the Griffin Inn.
Here he partook of tea and a mutton chop, of which he
ate heartily. He scarcely opened his lips during the
whole of the journey. Once he started up, however,
and said, with considerable earnestness of manner, " I
can't think what the people made such an uproar about
at Salt-hill, as we were coming away. Oh, dear !"
Upon arriving at Aylesbury gaol, a few minutes
before eight o'clock, and on being handed over to the
custody of Mr. Sheriff, the governor, he requested to be
accommodated with a comfortable bed and a room to
himself. On being told, however, that no relaxation in
the discipline of the prison would be allowed in his case,
and that he must submit to the same treatment as the
other prisoners, he heaved a deep sigh, but made no re-
mark. He slept in his clothes, merely taking off his
great coat. The room assigned to him is in what is called
the old gaol, in which he was locked in for the night by
himself, having first undergone the usual personal search.
This morning there was a visible alteration in his ap-
pearance, looking haggard and careworn.
The assizes for the county of Bucks will take place in
March next.

to go home on the morrow and put their shoulders to
the wheel, and lend a hand to accomplish their object.—
(Cheers.) Depend upon it they should gain nothing by
attempting to keep these things secret ; they could not
put salt upon those birds' tails—they were too old for it.
—(Cheers.) His friend Mr. Bright and himself had
'been passing into almost every manufacturing polling
district in the West Riding of Yorkshire since the last
meeting. Now the West Riding was infinitely the
largest and most important constituency of the king-
dom ; they had 33,000 or 34,000 registered electors.
London had only 20,000 ; South Lancashire, 22.000 or
23,000 ; the West Riding of Yorkshire had 50 per cent.
more of a constituency than any other in the kingdom.
They would see, then, the importance of winning the
West Riding more than any other ; and he had, no
doubt, that before the 31st of January, as he had already
stated, they would be able to say that there were 25,000
new qualifications. They lost last time by 800 or 1,000.
But they were not going to satisfy themselves in quali-
fying good men ; they had got a lot of bad men on
the register, and they would have them struck off ; they
would have no illegal votes there.--(Cheers.) He spoke
*kith the greatest delight of the reception they met with
in Yorkshire. They required no stimulus from them, did'nt
the people there ; the men of Yorkshire were prepared to
do at the next election what they had done on former oc-
casions. That was the constituency that had decided the
fate of great questions in this country before. When they
returned Henry Brougham—the Henry Brougham of that
time—(Hear)--they struck the List blow at the borough-
mongering system ; when they returned him as the
champion of the freedom of the negro they abolished
,slavery in our colonies.—(Applause.) And when they
returned free traders at the next election, depend upoil
it it would be the signal for the dowufal of commercial
monopoly.—(Cheers.) Now, lie should have no oppor-
tunity et addressing gentlemen there again before the
list of January, but there were three weeks yet, and the
lawyers could do a great deal of business in three weeks.
He thought they were printing off their deeds by steam,
yr having them lithographer, they were getting on so
fast with them.—(Hear.) Let no young man belonging
to their Atheneum, and other institutions, who was
filing in lodgings, let no ycung man with a good coat on
his back, that could afford 501. or 601. for an investment
at good interest, hesitate to take up his freedom, by
making such investment, and thus enable him to give a
Tote at the next election, and strike a blow in favour of
increased commerce, which would give him a better
chance of prospering in the world.—(Cheers.) He could
riot imagine anything more painfal than would be the
state of mind of those persons, when the next election
came, who had neglected the precious opportunity of
qualifying themselves to take a part in that momentous
struggle. In all probability the general election would
take place in 1846; unless they purchased their qualifica-
tion before the :31st of this month, they could not be upon
the register till 1847, and then the general election, in ali
human probability, would have passed. There was, to
be sure, one way in which young men might qualify after
the 31st. He saw a good many ladies present, and they
seemed to be getting into a channel in which they could
co-operate with them, inasmuch as they were not
allowed to have votes; he only wished they were,
because many of them would make a better use
of them than their husbands did.—(Cheers and laughter.)
But, though they could not vote, it was a very
singular fact—and it would be looked upon at some fu-
ture time, perhaps, when the world had grown wiser and
better, as an anomalous circumstance, that although
ladies could not vote, they might qualify as many block-
heads and dunces to vote as they chose to confer free-
holds upon.—(Laughter.) Now, if there was any kind,
earnest friend to their cause—any gentlewoman having
eons or nephews, or even grandsons ; if they should
happen to be rising twenty-one, and if she had a little
freehold property that she intended to divide among
them when she was gone—why then he would recom-
mend to her to convey away to them a 40s. freehold
each. Let her do it if they were but twenty years old

The funeral of the late unfortunate Sarah Hart took
place this afternoon, the mournful procession leaving
Bath-place at a quarter past two o'clock, for the church-
yard of Farnham Royal, in which parish her death oc-
curred. Her son, an interesting little boy of about five
ears of age, attended as chief mourner, led by the hand
by Mrs. Moss, and followed by Mrs. Ashlee, loading
her little girl. A great number of persons followed the
corpse,
It being supposed (but whether correctly
-or not it is
at present impossible to ascertain), that Sarah Hart is
not the right name of the deceased, the coffin plate bore
no inscription, not even " the date of death." Not one
of her relatives, if she have any, have up to this period
made any inquiries respecting her. Her two orphan
children have been kindly received into the house of her
next door neighbour, Mrs. Ashke.
It would appear that the unfortunate woman was ex-
tremely short of money at the time of her death, several
pawnbrokers' duplicates of recent dates having been
tound amongst her papers, and her little bills—baker,
grocer, &c., due at the quarter, as well as her quarter's
rent to Christmas past, being unpaid. Hitherto she had
always been most punctual in her payments.
The following is a copy of the only document found
amongst the papers of the deceased, in the handwriting
of the accused, signed with his initials, and written in a
small neat hand : _ .

" See Genesis, 4 chapter and part of 7 verse ; Psalms,
1 chapter and 4 chapter, 2d to sth verses, and 103 chapter
and 107 chapter, 6 to 22 verses ; Laiah, 1 chapter, 16
to 19 verses ; Matthew, 6 chapter, 14 and 15 verses, and
31 to 33 verses ; Romans, 12 chapter ; Ephesians, 4 and
5 chapters.
" The word men is generally used, but the sense is
meant for both men and women, because women could
not be properly put ; and we must, in reading the Scrip-
tures, not expect to be satisfied with so doing, unless we
endeavour to seek in our own minds for that spirit in
which they were written for our instruction. "J. T."

AN AUDACIOUS FALSEHOOD.—A lie, which only
one paper in Dublin, the Monitor, could be found base
enough to adopt and circulate, has been sent abroad in
the hope of arresting, even for a moment, the general
and determined opposition to the Bequests Bill. A most
clumsy lie, indeed, it is, and does nocredit to the inge-
nuity of the inventors. It is painful to have to add,
which we do on the authority of the Packet of last night,
that the Rev. Mr. Carroll, of Westland-row, assisted
in propagating it from the pulpit of that chapel on
Sunday last ! 'Tis but a story got up for, or per-
haps by, the Castle. Three peasants of the c"unty
, of
Tipperary conspiring to murder Dr. Murray ! The tale
rests on this circumstance alone, as we learn from
the Post of yesterday evening :—A Mr. Knaresbo-
rough, a magistrate residing near Mitchelstown, in the
county of Cork, got an anonymous note, saying that a
plot was formed by some Tipperary peasants to assassi-
nate Dr. Murray. This note he forwarded to his Grace,
and, on the authority of this anonymous document, one
of Dr. Murray's priests ascends his pulpit on Sunday
last, and publishes to his affrighted bearers that the life
of the Archbishopwas conspired against. We cannot
.
believe he did this by permission of his Grace, and there-
fore we cannot suppress an opinion of his being sadly
wanting in discretion. The writer of the anonymous
note was evidently one of the Castle servants, either
Catholic or Protestant, and the object of it to create
6N mpathy for, as it were, a persecuted Prelate, and thus
direct public indignation from the
. channel in which it
now runs. A poor ruse!—Dubloi Pilot.
