THE WOOLWICH MURDER.

The person apprehended at Portsmouth, on Thurs-
day night, on suspicion of being concerned in the
atrocious murder of Mr.Pa RK ER and his housekeeper.
bad been loitering about the town nearly the vhole
of the winter, and had been to France, whence he
returned a short time before the murder. He was
then absent a few days, and arrived on the Satarday
evening by the Rocket, day-coach, the muz.!er being
committed on the preceding Friday evening. li.! is
a good-looking man; he wore three vky.istcliat:, I,:ur
coats, and spectacles, which he seems to .;tv-...had
no need of, but supposed, with the .addititnial
to be for the purpose of disguise; he als..; wo:e
foraging fur cap, with a gold band. He
Ireland, by trade a tailor, but pensioned fro,o ti: C 11. :-
finery at 9d. per day; he sometimes goes by the c,arnes
of James Nesbitt, or Watson; has a wife and six ch:l-
- living within a few doors of the late Mr. Parker's
house. He has a new French traveliing trunk, with
small new hand-trunk within, containing a great n;:rn-
ber of old-fashioned gold and pearl trinkets, a g..1c1
watch-seal, with the initials T. P. engraveLi on it ;
two old fashioned watches, one of them gold, the
maker's name Vick, London; the other marked Jo/as
Sampson, London, 558, with a seal appended, having
the motto 4. en.tre nous ;" and two table spoon,,
marked T. M. P. some new table spoons without
marks. He had sixteen Bank of 'England note:,.
mostly dated Ist and 2d March, cue much burnt, and.
marked on the back " Mr. Bohn and Mrs. Bedfprd,
Feb. 21, I 20 ;" most of them marked " Mrs. Nesbitt."
—ln his trunk was a pair of nankeen trowEers, net
-worn since they were washed, but on one side of the
waistband a considenible hole is burnt, and appa-
rently not long done—certainly since they were
washed. A girl of the town, with whom he coha-
bited, was taken up Saturday morning, who states
that he would not sleep by himself, and being very
restless when with her, she asked him the reason;
when, enjoining her to secrecy, he said that he had
committed murder—that he had killed two men and
one woman. The prisoner is very ill from the blows
a_nd hurts he has received. It seems the small part t)f
his back is much hurt ; as, when struggling with the
officers,they fell over a form, and he was under. He
is rather sullen, not at all inclined to converse.—
Three men are with him night and day.

CO R w-Excli 1. 07, !JAR blAn en 27.—A considerable
quantify of Whe.tt all! Parley remaining ovtr from last week's
a7tivali., and havimt a rood supply fresh up this morning from .
Essex, Kerr, and iiufrol•-, produced together a large show of W
samples. A few ;rime runs cf heat from Essex eariy la the
morning sold 3-t?l-ter higlitr than on last Monday, but the trade
afterwards became ex7teciingly heavy, and the latices of this day
week were with difficulty obtained, end a good Troika don f
the supply remained on hand at the clew of the market. Ba---
ley was very doll sale, and Is. rer quarter cheaper, except kr S
few picked samples, which sold at last blonday s prices, but the
d•inrand for ail torts was very trifling. Oats, Peas, and Beaus,
are our shilling per quarter cheaper, the supply uf each far ea-
c.ieding el,. present demand.
