FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The state of fearful anxiety whirls prevailed through-
out the town, especially amongst those whose relatives
were supposed or understood to have been upon the flat
at the time of the accident, it is quite impossible to
describe. In the course of the aftei noon many affecting
scenes took place amongst these who resorted to the
spct to look after their lost relatives. A case of this
nature occurred at the New Quay, and excited uni-
versal commiseration. A poor old man came inquiring
for his son. As there were several bodies Which had
not then been claimed, he was conducted to the ro m
where the whole of the bodies weir lying. The poor
Mali.) feelings at this moment were strung to such
a state of excitation and suspense, that the moment
he entered_ the apat tment the shock occasioned by
the sudden view of the bodies was greater than his
nerves could enclose, and he fell to the ground in a
state of total insensibility. On being brought to his
senses, he was still so much affected by the state of agi-
tation into which he had been thrown, that he could
not even then determine whether the body of his child
was amongst the number. In many of those cases,
too, where the procesS of resuscitation was unsuccess•
ful, the most moving scenes were exhibited; and some
of them were so powerfully affecting as even to draw
tears from some of the police officers—" albeit unused to
the melting mood." We were eye-witnesses (says aco
temporary. journalist) to a heart-rending case of this
native. The body of a young woman, named Eliza-
beth Raw linson, the daughter of a working man residing
in Salford, was carried to the Britannia, and the utmost
attention of the medical Gentlemen was promptly paid
to the case. The hall-distracted father willingly lent
his aid, by chafing the body of his daughter, and whilst'
he was so engaged, and momentarily expecting her re-
covery, the perspiration rolled in big drops from off his
face. At length, no signs of returning life being visible,
he was reluctantly told by the surgeon that no hope was
left—that the spirit of his child had fled from its earthly
tenement. On bearing this appalling announcement,
his hands dropped motionless by his side—in his court•
tenance could be seen unmixed despair, and for several
tniatites he sat by the side of the corpse, absorbed in the
mit poignant grief. The sad condition of this poor
fellow greatly affected ill who were in the room.—

Crlisiks bf anigiomminini ith, on Wedneidli.nest;
two; (%arler ire brothers. They
were conircted at the ()la Dailey tesiitins, in 'January;
upon two indictments—thee first, for a robbery jo the
house of Mr. Prim, a cheesemunger, in the City, Road',
and the other for plundering the , premises of :Mrs.
Norbury, dealer in then fish,
sh, n the,
Corn-
hill.,
EaCh of the rOl;'leties was committed on the
Sabbath, and under such daring circumstances, that
from the time of their comihitment for trial their fate
was 'considered as almost certain. Immediately upon
their conviction On the second indictMent, the Recoil-
DM, as if to mark his feeling of the enormity of their
crimes, and to prevent any delusive hope of escaping
from the dreadful penalty, departed from the Usual
custom of sentencing the convicts at the close of the
Session, and passed sentence of death upon them on the
instant'. Their demeanour while in confinement 41
been ill suited to persons in their *awful 'situation even
subsequently to their conviction, their conduct having
been so violent, even towards each other, that for some
time it was found necessary to place them in a more
than ordinary degree of restraint. Charles Melford,
the younger brother, was the contriver of a desperate
plan for breaking out of Newgate a short time since ;
but fortunately the attempt was discoveied before an
attempt was made to carry it into effect.
Jeremiah Sullivan was their partner in crime, and
identified with them in the robbery at Mts. Norbury's.
Fee about it month after the two brothers were appre-
hended, Sullivan remained in concealment in a lodging
he bad previously occupied at a public house near the
HoseitAl. On Christmas Eve, the day before he was
taker, his landlady seeing a Police report of the exami-
nations at Worship-street, immediately recognized in
the de cription of the. Melfords the two brothers whom
she had known as Sullivan's companions. She accord-
ingly intimated her suspicion that he was the persrn
mend sired as the third robber. He endeavoured to
quiet her suspicion by an assurance that he did net
am his bread in that way. He was apprehended on
Chfatm.rs Day.
Chapman and Johnson, the other unhappy convicts,
were committed from Worship-street also, on charges
of horse-stealing. '!Tigre were several charges against
them, and they are known to have been long and deeply
engaged in the coot sewhich has led to their untimely end.
Ye ter day morning, at the usual hour, the customary
Sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Cotton, the Of•
dinary of Newgate, in consequence of the order for
execusion on Wednesday next, of five ill-fated indi-
viduals, viz.—Charles Melford, aged 17 ; William
Melford, 21 (brothers), Jeremiah Sullivan, 28, and
Thos. Chapman, alias Derrick, and his partner in clime.
Wm. Johnson, alias Carter.
The Sheriffs, &c. artived at the gaol a little after ten
o'clock, soon after which the prison bell summoned the
inmates to the sanctuary. Alter the vast groups had
been seated in the diff, rent parts of the chapel, to the
number of some hundreds, three of the unfortunwe cul-
prits were conducted to the condemned pew, •iz.—;he
two Melfords and Chapman ; Johnson, being in a state
of decrepitude, did not attend. It may be recollected,
that at the January Sessions this unhappy man, owing
to a fractured leg, was brought into Court upon a
turnkey's back, to receive that awful sentence which,
in a few hours, will, in all pro' ability, be carried into
mew ion.
The prisoner Sullivan was also absent, he being of
the Catholic persuasion, and preferring a Divine of his
own Church to attend him.
The service commenced in the usual manner, by sing-
ing the Morning Hymn, after which the Liturgy of the
Church of England was read, the Lessons appointed
for the day, &c. &c. in an impres-ive manner by the
Rev. Ordinary. After a penitential Psalm had been
chaunted, the Rev. Gentleman directed his particular
attention to the unhappy.culprits, and delivered an ap-
propriate discorirse from Psalm li. ver.l7 For a
broken and a contrite spirit, 0 Got), thou wilt
not despise."

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE,_IIIARK.LANR, MA Imo 10.

We had a good supply of Wheat fresh in this morning froth
F.ssex, Kent, and Suffolk, for which there was rather a tree sale,and
full as high prices as last Monday's were obtained for fine Wheat,
the samples in general coming very brie to baud. Malting Barley
sells freely at last Monday's prices; and although, by the returns of
the week, a large quantity appears on it, the gre.ter part at it was
sold during the week. Beans and Grey Peas are is. per quarter
cheaper ; but White ones fully support last Monday's currency.—
Oats, from the magnitude of the uglily, were nearly stagnant4-;6
indeed, the pace offered by the consumers is instantly accepted.
Flour was rather brisk sale, and there was a report very eurrent;
that an advance in price would take place; but as yet nothing of the
kind has occurred. In other articles there is no alteration.
