When the M.Keanels were taken to Lancaster Ca.tle,
on reaching their apartment, they immediately asked for
Bibles, as if the very sight of the precious volume could
relieve the dreadful angui,h they endured. When the
officer came to knock off their chains, soon after their
arrival, which took place at half past ten o'clock, they
were both intently poring over the Scriptures:apparently
unconscious of what was passing around them. Some
one asked, .4 which is Al. xander r when Alexander,
looking up, meekly replied, lam he." BOth of them
preset ved the strictest silence ; in fact, they appeared as
if they fancied the very sound of their voices would call
down curses upon them. The clothes they were taken
4n, and which they then wore, as far as could be judged,
were those in which they committed the bloody deed ;
but they had evidently been washed.
They told Mr. Lavender they were Scotchmen, and,
not Irish, nor of Irish parents. They said their father,
who had been dead sixteen years, was a Galloway,man,
and that their mother was born in Dumfries—that they
had two brothers, William and John, older di in them-
selves, and a sister—that William lived in the parish
of Urr, right or nine miles from Dumfries, ani John in
Staffirdshiie. They said, too, they left Manchever on
Thursday night ; so that immediately after the com-
mission of the murder, they must have set off to Man-
chester, and secreted themselves in the house of Elizabeth
M4Conaell, in Collier-street, Salford—a woman with
whom Michael used to live, and by whom she bad
recently a child. The abode of this woman, which was
anxiously sought for by the police officers,was discovered
through the unremitting exertions of Mr. Foulkes and
Mr. Norreys, and on Monday last, she was taken to the
New Bailey, and now remains there in the hospital :
but she will be liberated when she de.ires it.

DUMFRIES, JUNE 6.—As.snme of the English Papers
are ascrding to Dumfries-shire the discredit of having
given birth to Alexander and Michael M'Keaid, the
a rocious perpetrators of one of the most shocking
murders that ever was committed in modern times, it
becomes our duty to contraJict the fact. The culprits
are not only of Irish extraction, but were born, if not
bred, in the sister country. It is true they resided four
years in a parish in Galloway ; but they %sere rather
shunned, we understand, than respected.

Mr. Missuutt. wished to know the cause of the quarrel.
Burdy begged to be excused stating how it origniated, beCausc it
would expose family matters.
Mr. Lynch exclaimed that he might state all he could say, with-
out any delicacy towards him.
/lardy stared, that about ten o'clock on Tuesday night, Mr.
Lynch cams to him in the parlour, and said that a printer, who was
suspected to be too intimate with Mrs. Lynch, was up stairs with
her, and Lynch asked him, " Now, what would you do under sirni-
tar circumstances?" He replied," Why, if I were yeti, I would go
op stairs and pitch the fellow out of the window."
Mr. blissisett—You told him so?

Burdy—i did.
Mr. 14ynch—You denied a few minutes ago having called my
wife a this is a kind of halt admission that you did; and I
served you rightly.
Mr. MIIIIIMLL said that he should insist upon Mr. Lynch Audis(
good bad to answer the charge at the Sessions, viz. hiinselt in the
sum of 1001. and two sureties in 501. each. _ _

He put in the bail in the course of the day, and was liberated.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday this °lke and every avenue leading to it were crowded
' beyond aH precedent since the investigation of the late Mr. Paula-
leroy's case, in consequence of the expected examination of a wo-
man namecidnue Browne, charged with the murder of her husband's
illegitimate child, by severing its bead from the body with a carv-
ing knife.

The particulars of the case will be found in the report of the
Coroner 'a Inquest, in another column.
While standing at the bar she seemed quite calm and collected ;
and when asked if she wished man any thing, en bearing the state-
ment of the case against her, she replied that she knew not what
bad urged her to the deed. She saw the child asleep on the bed,
and she turned its head round over the side of the bee and cut it of,
but she was now seriously sorry for what site bad done.
The. prisoner was remanded until Saturday next.

An elopement from this town took place on Saturday
night : the Gentleman is not the first of the name whose
vagaries have come before the public; the Lady will,
we dare say, confess without regret that she is no
longer y ong.—Bury Post.
