THE LATE MURDER AT BRIGHTON.

HOLLOWAY'S CONFESSION Of TER MURDER OF
fits Wirx.—We understand that, later in the day. Dr.
Evened had another short interview with the prisener, and
received•from him a letter to be delivered to his mother;
but that nothing material occurred then, except the prisoner's
expression of satisfaction that he bad unburthened his con-
science and delivered his mind. " I strangled her,--I did
It with my own hands."— were, we believe, the wretched
man's words; and our letters from Horsham tell us that at
this interval the pristwer, while these words were being
[ transcribed, burst forth in an involuntary expression of
mental arny—" Oh never. never shall I forget that look,
that supplicating look." He raised his hands and shook
with honor. During the confession he was at times incohe-
rent, suddenly bursting out in rhapsodies. Water was ad-
' ministered to him several time, dor* the dreadful =en-
tire ; but he appeared greatly relieved by the disclosure.
In the early part of the week. Holloway was most dread-
fully agonized in mind. Since his confession, he has settled
down into a calm composure, indicating resignation to his
wretched state. His conduct shows penitence; he reads
the Bible daily, and receives with attention the spiritual in-
struction of the Chaplain.
It appears that George Carver and Mary White got into
11. Donkey-row, the week after Holloway left, and the fe
male is sworn to as coming out of the howls with a tea-
kettle, while Holloway was there. Carver and White affirm
that thery took the house of Mrs. Taylor, who had a conver-
sation with the former on the subject. and gave him the
key front a nail. Ides. Taylor swore that she serer law either
about the house, nor did she let the house to thew. Sbe
denied the whole of a very circumstantial conversation Carver
detailed. Being questioned as to the state in which they
found the house, they were very reluctant to say anything ;
but White admitted that she found some chaff in the up-
stairs room, which she swept out ; she also found part of a
woman's straw bonnet ruffed under the stairs.

Mr. Foikard stated, that when he sent for White, she
refused to come to him ; and the other night she came In
front of his house, and cursed the High Constable and
Magistrates, and all the crew. When she saw him and Pal.
beam, she ran away over church-hill. They were remanded
till Thursday, [lt will be seen that these persons break
the chain of evidence—they being the first to enter 11,
Donkey-row, where the murder was committed, and thefts
fore able to speak to the state of the premises.]
Mr. Folkard went to Lewes yesterday, to see the Visit-
ing Meilistrates with reference to the treatment of the prat
soner Kennard. He has politely informed us that she is
removed up stairs out of the cells, and is in the company
of three females. Mr. Folkard is deserving of great praise
for his attention, and anxiety, and humanity in this business.

DEATH OF TWO MEN BY FIGHTING.
INQUEST.
Last night as Inquest was held at the King's Head,
Chursh.atreet. Deptford, before Mr. Canter, on the body of
Richard Dodd, aged 27, who was killed under the following
circumstances s—The deceased was a shoemaker, living la
Coleman-etre, and about a month since a match was made

formed rear the Ferty-honee • but before the men
set-to, they expressed a wish to draw the stakes, and shake
hands, but the stake holder, a man named Jordan, refined
to give theta up. The DUD then commenced fighting.
Severe blows were given on both sides, and the friends of
Cox cried out to him "kill him, murder him," &c. Alter
about fourteen rounds, both men fell insensible to the
ground, and
.ware viable to come to time, and they lay oh
the grass, to all tippearaoce dead. The deceased was air

the news arrived at the Inquest-room, last nigh., that be

Several witnesses were examined to the above facts, but
they were unable to identify any of the parties engaged in the
Sibt, with the exception of one man, named Green, who

Great efforts are making in many counties to
re-embody Yeomanry, but hitherto with very little
effect. The tenantry are well aware that the ob-
ject in view is not the defence of the country from
foreign aggression—the only purpose for which
Yeomanry corps ought ever to be raised—bet to
enable Me Tvry aristocracy to make an attempt,
hopeless as it is, to overawe Ministry and the
people by a show of a military force under their
command. Anxious as Ministers seem to con-
ciliate their political aunigunists, we can hardly
imagine they will countenance a project which
may be attended with the worst consequences,
and which must inevitably cause a considerable
expense to the country ; fur it will be remembered
that Yeomanly do not serve gratuitously, but ant
paid while on duty and during their training. We
beg those who may be naked to become Yeomen
to ivcollect the Neu me ulatrry massacre, to con-
eider the situation in which dente who were en-
I gaged in it now stand, and to reflect how soon
they may be placed in a similar predicament if
they allow themselves to be enrolled in a corps,
snider the command of utficere whose sole object
in raising the force is to taint it as a political
nighty to coutroul the wither of the people.
The Political Unions are maintaining a system
of rigid sureeillaace over the conduct of their re-
presentatives in Parliament. In one place a vote
of commie has been panted upon till hoe. member,
because he has not Leen able to attend the discus-
sions on the Reform Bill after eleveu o'clock at
,eight. The friends of the hon. gentleman urged
as his excuse that he war advanced in years, and
that all his life he had acted upon the ancient
anixim—.. Early to bed and early to rise," dm. bat
the inexteable Uuianists immediately replied, that
he ought to have thought of that before be was
elected, and that being elected, no consideration,
short of physical inability, should have induced
him to be absent from his post. Shortly after the
memorable night of the seven divisions, the mem-
bers of a Political Union in the North iteld Al meet-
ing for the purpose of investigating the conduct of
a county representative who had ,attenued the house
on that occasion. A friend of the worthy member
eveavouted to avert a threatened vote of censure,
by stating that the hon. gentleman was confined to
his own house by severe indisposition ; but, an-
luckily, .a tiehienable London Journal bad found
its way into the region where the meeting was held,
and from that it appeared that instead of 'being
manned to a sick chamber on the night in ques-
tion, the delinquent member had been present, at a
party given by one of the loaders. of fashion-met
Berkeley-square. This was decisive, and -A.414

stratagem of war, wherein a man can err but once. If thy

far off quickly. Inquire diligently of her disposition,
and how her parents bare been inclined in their youth. Let
her nut be poor, how generous soarer; fee a man as buy

A PETTICOAT PARLIAMENT.
Among the many motions oo the backs respecting the re.
farm bill, there is one (by Mr. Severn) of vital and oils.
mentoes import. It runs thus s
" That all unmarried females, being duly leaded, shall
be entitled to vote in eketioas for kuights, citizens, Wind.
gases, to serve in parliament."
We all know--at least, we are told that, foe the mos:
port, (to use the families language at the proverb retailer.

might insure Win his return. Now, ao women having this
indirect coniruul over the 'most sweet voices' of the men, ate
virtually, the real electors, what can be more fair than is
allow them ast upon vote ?
Severn's motion only includes " all entnacriod fee
wales," he is ungallant enough to omit the widows. This
must be altered. The chief drawback is that the measure
is quite Malthusian. What maiden, " duly qualified,"
would resign her political Heaviest volume sea? Yet if
