DREADFUL MURDER:

inuarrnit CARVIIILIr-sowirwar.:
We have the pain of recording a most dread/al sal wiugalaary
murder, occasioned by a fit of jealousy, which has hies coalivalical
on the bedy of an wsienunate woman of the townomated Mary
Brown, by a man who was on terms of the most familiar intimacy
with her. The name of the murderer is Philip Tinning, or Thoiller.Yr
and, conceiving that the unfortunate deceased had given favours to
others besides himself, he determined within himself (as he expresser
It) "to me the far end of her."

Having made an appointment on Wednesday last with her, to
meet him in the neighbourhood or St.Nieholayhey walked together
about three or four hours, from two till abort six, during which he
treated her with some rum. which he had brought with him in a
bottle for the purpose ; and in a field next but one adjoining to St.
Nicholas' Well, committed the dreadful deed for which he now
awaits his trial. He struck her with a hammer several times on till
bead—and Indicted three most dreadful wounds, from one of which
the brains plainly protruded, and, putting het hand up to save her-
self from the effects of his deadly sage, he broke one of her fingers
with a blow of the hammer, and completed the dreadful work of
destruction. Leaving the body lying, be flew into Scotland, but
I was so dreadfully conicience-striken, that he returned to give him
self up to justice; and giving the information of the dreadful deed
which he had committed, was sent to gaol, and his voluntary con-
fession was taken, In which he unhesitatingly owned himself the
murdertr.

The deceased was not, front her manner of living, a woman of
good character • she was about 26 years of age; she had a bus-
band, Henry Drown, who is a native of Wetheral, and is now a
whitesmith in Whitehaven. The prisoner is a native of Ireland.
Friday an Inquest was held on the body, before Richard Lowry,
Esq. the coroner, who examined several witnesses, who severally
deposed to the voluntary confession of the prisoner, as being the
murderer of the deceased, as well as to the finding f the body its
the place mentioned, which was then alive. Among others was that
of Mr. James Marrs, Surgeon ; and Ranters% Atkinson, M.D. de-
posed, that they were called to the deceased, and found three large
wounds on the head ; and Mr. Marrs introducing his anger into each
wound, found the three places were fractures, and one portion of
the brain protruding externally. She was not then dead, but in a
weak state. Witness immediately ordered her to be taken home,
which was done. Her head was then washed, the hair having been
shaved off; and having moved a small portion of the brain that was
protruding, he dressed the wound. Mr. Marrs had not the !oast
doubt that any of the wounds was sufficient to cause death.
The Jury retired to consider of their verdict, and returned in
five minutes, giving in a verdict of—m Wilful Murder against
Philip Tinneney."

SHOOTING.

Wascrizsrea.—Though the birds were so wild that scarcely one
covey in ten would allow the dogs to come within gun-shot, yet
Colonel Hawker (who was on the lit day laid up unwell in London,
and consequently did not begin till the 4th) had the best day's sport
that was, we believe, ever known, for one person, in the neighbour.
hood of Andover. ie bagged twenty-eight brace of partridges and
seven hares, making 63 head of game in nine hours. This he ac-
complished by selecting an open country; first placing markers, and
then riding the birds down, with what he calls "charges of cavalry,"
before he began shooting.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Sere. 11.
The supply of Euglish Corn during the past week has been mode-
rate, but of foreign the quantity considerable, particularly of Oats.
The arrivals fresh up this morning ate moderate of all kinds of Grain.
Wheat, of fine quality, maintains last Monday's prices, but other
kinds must be quoted cheaper. Barley is in very srsall demand, and
prices nominally the same as on last Monday. Beans and Peas sell
very heavily at a reduction of 2s. per quarter on our last quotations.
The demand for Oats at present is so very slack, that the factors
could not effect- sales without submitting to less prices, and they
may be noted ls. per quarter lower than last Monday. Flour is
unaltered.
