BLACKHEATH MURDER.

LATUT PARTICULARS.

Upon no former occasion bat there been such a ge-
neral excitation produced in Greenwich, Blackheath.
and neighbourhood, as has been by the perpetration of
the monstrous murder of Maria Lambourn, by her bus-.
band. Yesterday morning early, the unfortunate de-
ceased was inshrouded and placed in a very decent
coffin, at the expense of the parish, and her funeral will
take place to-morrow. The bead, which was, with the
exception of a small piece of skits, cut from the body,
had nearly fallen off when the persons were laying it,
out.

Edward Binford, the constable with whom the war-
rant issued against Richard Lambourn, the murderer,
was entrusted by Mr. Carter, the Coroner, visited the
unhappy man yesterday morning early, in Lazarus
Ward, Guy's Hospital, in conse4uence of Mr. Rowell,
the Steward, having intimated that it would perhaps,
be neceuary to place some person in the ward, lest he'
should (although there was at present no probability)
unripe; however, for the present, there was no necew
sity for such a precaution, as, in addition to his aims
being secured with a strait jacket, a very strong strap
is placed around his body, and secured at either end to
the sides of the bedstead; two other manacles are
placed at each of his elbows, so that if he were so in-
clined his escape would be impossible. The wound in
his throat, although none of the leading blood-vessels
are injured, is considered to be exttemely dangerous.
He has no power of swallowing. and Mr. K-y, the
sutgeou, by whom the miserable man is attended, is of
opinion, that shiuld inflammation ensue, his dent's is
certain. The unhappy man, Mho seems about 65 yews
of age, has been a woodcutter at Deddington, near
Oxford,and obtained his livelihood by cutting the stab-,
wood for the staves of brooms and mops. He married
the unfortunate victim of his revenge in the yeas 1823,
at which time she was living as a single woman in
the family of Mr. Davidson, whose service she was in
when she fell ; Mr. Davidson then resided at Kilburn.
After they bad been married a y.at or two, he for
the first time discovered that she had four illegiti-
mate children—this discovety brought on much un-
happiness, which ended in her deserting her home.—
' He stated, as well as he was able. to two or three
Gentlemen who stood at his bed-side, that he was a
widower when he married the unfortunate woman, and
had a family of eight children, all of whom were grown
up, and, with the exception of one daughtes, who
lived cook in a family at Charing Cross, were living In
the country. In allud ng to his deceased wife, he said,
‘1 Ah, she was a bad one. Gun rest her soul. now she
is dead; I hope she is happy.* A gentleman standing
by said," It is vet, wicked in you to bless her and cure
her at the same moment, and in tine breath." The un
happy man replied, angrily, 64 I did not curse her-1
said she was a bad one only." He then attributed the
fatal end to which he bad brought his wife to Mr. and
Mrs. —, the latter of whom had written the letter to
him for his wife, desiring him not to come near
bet. He further said, so Whenever I have called to see
my wife they have said, come up stasis, &rah, and
don't waste your time with that old foil." He say, that
he came to London for the purpose of chastising his
wife, but not to murder her ; that he left Deddingtoo
on Friday night, and remained at High Wycombe
till Sunday, when be walked to London, and reached
here at night; that he slept at the Halt Moon in the
Borough, and that he arose at four o'clock, and walked
to Blackheath, where he arrived just before six ; that
he watched about the house till he saw his unfor.
tunate wife come out to open the house, when he
went in and followed her into the kitchen. The
miserable man related all this with the greatest
precision. It was said in his presence that all the
money he had about him was fourpence. He sharply
replied. " I had two shillings and fourpence its my purse
'in my waistcoat pocket when I came here—l know
what I had well enough." Before Binford the officer
went away, he requested he would call upon his daugh-
ter at Charing-cross, and desire her to call and see him ;
he also desired him to write to his brother and several
of his children, informing them of the affair, the whole
of which Binford promised to do, and the miserable
patient seemed very thankful. As soon as it is cnn
sideted safe he will be removed to Greenwich, fur
examination before the Bench of Magistrates.

YELLOW Itzvea.—Of more than 500 competent prac-
titioners, only 48 ate in favour of the contagiousness of
the yellow fever, 483 being decidedly against it. In
those parts of America where it most frequently rages,
nobody believes in contagion; the extension of the dis-
ease seems entirely tossing to the atmospheric constitu-
tion and to local causes; the latter consist partly in
putrid efisivia; there exists in no coo a clear proof of
contagion having taken place, and all assertions to the
contrary are founded, either on false testimonials on
detective observations or on erroneous inferences from
correct observations.

JIIIMSALZII.—The present dwelling houses of Jeru-
salem areclumsy, square, low masses, without either
chimoies or windows, terminating in Sat roofs or cep°.
las, and look mote like prisons or tombs than habita-
tions. The streets are narrow and unpaved, and run;
up hill and down dale. Awnings, which are spread'
from one house to that which is opposite, increase the
dal ksome gloom of this labyrinth. Some miserable
shops display only the wretchedness of their contents.
and even these are frequently closed for fear of a Kadi
or Pacha that may be passing them. No human being
is to be seen in the streets; and hardly any noise is tube
heard but the gallop of a mare from the desert. or of
a Janissary cantering along,with the head of a Bedouin
Arab in his hand. or leaving the town to plunder the
Fellahs (or peasantry).
Saturday list, about ten o'clock, as Mr. Was. White,
of Montague grove, Hampstead, was returning house
with three Ladies, his sisters, he was stopped by a manl
a:little beyond Jack Straw's Castle, on the road Wasting
to Highgate, who evidently intended to rob him. Mr.'
White instantly struck at the man, when the villain
drew forth a pistol from his pocket and presesited it at
his breast, cautioning him at the same time to beware.
Mr. White, nothing daunted, was about to close with
the dastardly miscreant. when he ran off towards a
place called the Vale of Health, and made his escape.
The villain was stout and well dressed. and were a dark
coat, drab trousers, and a coloured neckerchief. Search
was afterwards made, and a pocket pistol, loaded with
ball,was found in the Vale in the same track the willies
took. The maker's name was " Smith, Leaden.'
The will of George Jenne:, Esq. late Deputy Re-
gister of the Prerogative Court, was rowed lass week ;
and administration granted to his widow, Mrs. Prance.
Jenner. The effects were sworn, ender 6010004 The
deceased (who was brother to Sir Herbert Jenner) held
for many years several lucrative situations in Doctors'
Commons; andjt is generally supposed that the fatigues
of business hastened his death. The offices bald by him
have same been disenited, and are now, we believe,
filled up.

ASCOT HEATH SECOND MEETING.

The second year of this Meeting is not likely to sorpnil the less
in any respect, with the exception of the span, whites was good"
In many particulars. thew races are not likely to make any ap.
preach to the importance wisich always attaches to the first, the
' horses being comparatively inferior, and the stakes kw valuable;
and it is only to those who seek the quiet enjoyment of a favourite
amusement that it possesses any great attraction. The " fitting*
up" of the rate-course are on the same principles as before. but ow
a much less extensive scale, many of the proprietors of booths
who attended the Hampton races having found oat that the ex.
penses of removal were likely to render the speculation doubtful..
The indefatigable Wright. who is pleasantly termed Charles the
First. is in considerable force, and bad all the best business. His
receipts. however, must have been inadequate to the expenditure.
The weather was unfavourable is the morning, the rain having
fallen with considerable violence till about mid.day, at which time
It cleared up a little; its effects on the attendance were palpable,
for at one • cluck the Course had a very gloomy look—there were
very few equipages—the stands were not half filled, and one halt
of the constables appointed to keep the Course clear might have
been dispensed witb.
The arrival of his Majesty took place at a quarter past one pre.
chicly, the number of the Royal carriages being lessened by two of
three, in consequence of his Majesty's wise being composed en.
tirely of Gentlemen. In his Majesty's carriage were also his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Grace the Duke of Leeds,
and the Hon. Mr. Towushend. In the succeeding ones were the
Marquis of Conynlham, Lords Mounteharlea, Strathavuo, Ashley,
Harcourt, Albert Conyngham, Sit Andrew Barnard, and Mr.Deboe
Radcliff:. His Majesty %as dressed precisely as at the last meeting,
was in excellent health, and received the same demonstrations of
attachment from the spectators. Ills Majesty convened at its.
tennis between the races with the Duke of Richmond, the Duke
bf Cumberland, Mr. Thornhill, General Grosvenor, Duke of
Dorset, and several other _Noblemen. The Races terminated a
few minutes before four o'eluck, -at firhich time the King left the
Heath for the Royal Lodge. We observed on the Race Course
