THE ROEHAMPTON MURDER,

On Monday Daniel Good was brought up at Bow-street,
before Mr. Hall, charged with the late horrible murder at
Roehampton. The court was densely crowded, and the
anxiety to catch a glimpse of the wretched miscreant was
intense. The prisoner was introduced into court very quietly
at precisely half-past ten o'clock, and no manifestation on
the part of the auditory marked his presence. He was dressed
in a dirty fustian labourer's jacket and trousers, and wore a
blue and white spotted cotton neckerchief. In his hand he
had a brown stuff cap without a peak. In appearance be is
a man apparently about 45, of s ..thy complexion and dark
visage, the under part of which . Jjects, and if a dog had such
a nether jaw he would be called" undershod." His forehead
is of moderate size, much wrinkled ; his hair and whiskers jet
black. Altogether he is small of size, and by no means mus-
cular. When placed at the bar, he appeared perfectly calm
and collected ; and his first gestures were to stroke his chin
with his left hand, and to pass it over the crown of his head,
rubbing the hair forwards over the crown, which was bald.
He remained generally in one position, resting his cheek
upon his left hand. Whenever any noise appeared in court
he looked in the direction, and then his sunken small black
eye appeared exceedingly piercing.
His wife, who was in a cell near the court, kept weeping
and wailing so loudly that the prisoner could plainly hear her
where he stood : her complaints did not appear to move him.
Mr. Barnaby, the Clerk, asked the prisoner what was his
name, to which he immediately replied, in a firm tone,
" Daniel Good."

Evidence was then given of the circumstance which took
place when the body of the murdered woman was first dis-
covered, all of which have already minutely been reported
in our columns.

Lydia Susannah Butcher produced a gown, a shawl, a pair
of boots, and gloves and bonnet, which the prisoner gave to
her on the 6th instant, stating at the time that thay belonged
to Mrs. Good, who died some years ago.
Mrs. Elizabeth Christie identified the bonnet and shawl
as having belonged to Jane Jones, or Good, who went, she
said, by both names. The last time witness saw Jane Good
alive was on the 3d inst., when she had on the bonnet and
shawl produced.

The prisoner refused to ask the witnesses any questions,
and said he had no application to make.
At several periods of the examination the prisoner's wife
indulged in bursts of grief and audible lamentations. The
prisoner looked coolly round towards the spot from whence
the cries proceeded, and then resumed his former position.

He was
_then remanded until Thursday next, at 10 o'clock

After the examination had concluded, and the prisoner
had been removed to the waiting-room, he observed ' Thank
God, it is over for to-day. A man can die but once, and all I
wish is that my body may not be given up for dissection, and
all I hope is that they will not do so." One of the constables
observed that that was not likely, for if he were found guilty,
he would be interred inside the walls of Newgate, and would
have slack lime thrown over his body.

The prisoner then laughingly remarked, " An sure that'll
burn the guts out o' me."

EXAMINATION OF GOOD'S ALLEGED WIFE,

AND THE MAN GAMBLE

At half-past three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon Richard
Gamble and Mary Good, who has recently been known to
the public as " Old Molly Good," were placed in the dock
before Mr. Hall, charged with having in their possession
certain articles the property of Jane Jonei, who was mur-
dered at_Putney Park-lane.

Mr. Heywood. clerk to the Solicitor of therreasury, con-
ducted the case for the prosecution.

Police-serjeant Thornton, 4 E, stated that he had been
employed to watch the prisoners, the premises of Mrs. Good
being in Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, and Gamble's
at No. 2, Tindale's-buildings, Gray's Inn-road. Be had seen
the prisoner Gamble go on several occasions to the house of
Mrs. Good, and remain there some time. He had also seen
him leave the house of the woman Good accompanied by her
and return again with her. On one occasion he saw Gam-
ble come out of Mrs. Good's house with a bundle, which he
took to his own place. On Saturday he went to Gamble's
lodgings with Inspector Pearce, and in the front room second
floor he found the three cotton gowns produced, hid under
the bed. He searched the lodgings of the prisoner Good on
Tuesday afternoon, and found a piece of blue silk wrapped up
in a pillow-ease, as also a black cloth bag, containing a purse,
with 3s. 10d in it, two black mitts, three napkins, a towel,
two dinner knives and forks, and a small knife, a piece of
black glazed calico, and two pairs of stockings.
Inspector Pearce, of the A division, deposed that he had
also watched the prisoners, especially the male prisoner. He
had followed him to Tooley-street--from thence to the resi-
dence of Mary Good, where he stayed half an hour. On Sa-
turday evening, he met the prisoner in Gray's Inn-lane. He
asked him " If he had received a parcel from Good ?" and
he said "He had not." He left him in the care of a consta-
ble whilst he went to his lodging, and, upon searching it, he
found two shirts (produced, one marked S. Perry). Pri-
soner said they had been given him by a woman named Mary
Good. He also said he had a bundle as well from the same

person

Mary Anne Clarke, of No. 18, South-street, Manchester-
square, indentified the piece of blue silk produced as belonging
to Jane Jones, and part of the piece which she had made the
bonnet from She also said that the gowns produced were of
the same pattern and make as some she had seen Jane Jones
wear.

Edward Pritchett, of No. 3, Edward's-place, Hoxton, said
he knew the two prisoners, and was employed to watch them ;
he saw them on Thursday last at the George and Guy,
Fashion-street, Spitalfields. He heard the female prisoner
say to the male prisoner, "The last night I saw pocr Dan he
said I am afraid I shall be taken, " but he said, " I shall
keep out of the way as long as I can. " Gamble said. " Hold
your tongue, leave it to me, he'll never be taken."

Mary Anne Grayson, of No. •4, Flower and Dean street,
said the female prisoner, Good, 10dt,..t1 with her. Gamble
had been three times. A man. whom Good represented as
her husband, came at seven o'clock on the morning of Thurs-
day week. She didn't see Kira with any bundle.
Mr. HALL, the magistrate. here observed that he did not
see that a case of robbery cou'" 3 made out against the pri-
soners. If they were at all i licated, it was for being ac-
cessories after the fact of the order. He should, therefo•

.eretore
commit them both till Thureuay next, when they would be
brought up with the prisoner, Daniel Good.
The prisoners were then removed in custody.

CONDUCT OF GOOD IN THE BOW-STREET CELL.
On the arrival of Good at the Police-station in Bow-street,
on Sunday night, the charge was taken and entered by Mr.
Saunders, the superintendent of the F division of police, and
he was at once placed in a cell in company with two police-
men. For the first hour or so after his incarceration he
appeared to be buried in thought. Suddenly, however, his
manner changed, and he used every endeavour to engage the
police in conversation. He commenced by narrating to them
the circumstances which led to his apprehension, through
the instrumentality of the ex•policeman Rose, at Tonbridge
Wells. Be said he had seen Rose some days before, and at
once recognised him ; and on Rose taxing him with being
Good, he denied it, and considered from Rose's manner that
he believed him, and that all was safe. He (Good) then
went to work again as usual, and on being again taxed by
Rose with being Good, he still persisted that he was not,
for he did not believe that he could know him in the rigging
he had on. He did not even suspect any thing wrong when
the police-constable Humphrey asked him to go and have a
glass of ale, until be got into the Angel public-house, and saw
another policeman with his (Good's) bundle. He then knew
that all was up, and he had no chance of escape. Good then
spoke in the most affectionate terms of his boy, and asked the
constables if they knew what had become of him. One of
them informed him that he was quite safe, at which he ex-
pressed much satisfaction, and exclaimed, " Ch ! his poor
mother died five years ago this day. I was married to her
on the day the Duke of York died." He then expressed a
hope that all his property would be given to the boy. and
said that he must look after that he had left at Tonbridge
Wells, or the d— thieves would prig it (alluding to the
watch and money taken from him by the police there).
Good then inquired who was the last man hung at Newgate,
and was answered by one of the policemen, " Blakesley,"—
(this was not the fact, Ward being the last for the murder of
a child), on which he exclaimed, " Ah, so it was ; a woman
was the cause of that too." lie supposed he should be the
next, but it was a d— good job; be could die but once.
The constable cautioned him to be careful what he said be-
fore them ; to which Good replied, " Oh, it's no use • I can
die but once." He then asked the constable what they did
with persons after they were hung at Newgate—whether they
were given over to dissection, against which he had a great
abhorrence, or to their relations. The constable replied,
" No, they are buried within the prison, and quick-lime put
in the coffins to destroy the bodies." Good involuntarily
shuddered, and exclaimed " Oh, then, my flesh will be burnt
of my bones." He is remarkably cool and indifferent in his
behaviour, and professes utter innocence of any crime, al-
though he admits that appearances are " rather black against
him." The constables cautioned him against saying any
thing to them which he did not wish repeated; but he con-
tinued to talk freely, and even spoke in a light manner of
having locked the police-constable Gardiner, and the two
lads, in the stable at Putney, appearing to think the matter a
remarkably good joke. He admits that he was in company
with Jane Good on the Sunday night, and that he took her
with him to his master's stables in Putney Park-lane ; but
away from
.kcab and
says he knows nothing as to what became of her after that.
He also told the constables that when he ran
to London,tooa_nd on ar-
rivingPu tne
y opposite Park-lane
the Spottedheca came
e
proceeded to Whitechapel, and thence to his wife's house,
after which he pledged the articles which were found at the
pawnbroker's in Brick-lane, Spitalfields.
About three o'clock
directlyp ogn the
Strand
fell off to
on Monday morning he became rather heavy and
five sleep. He remained sleeping until shortly after
of when
he and
e
he awoke up and had breakfast—namely, a pint
bread and butter as on the overnight.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
From kestavia.v!f London paiera.)
On Monday evening, at eight o'clock, the prisoner retired
to rest, and about three hours afterwards he commenced
sighing and groaning in his sleep most piteously. The officer
who is appointed to sit up and watch him observed that he
fell into a doze until twelve o'clock the same night, when he
ejaculated, " Lord, have mercy upon me ! Oh !my dear
boy ; it is Susan Butcher that has brought me to this. Oh!
heavenly Father. Oh ! Lord Jesus." After passing a few
restless moments, he again cried out, " Oh ! Dr. Parkins,
little did I think I should come to this.; take care of my
boy." This, as it seems, was alluding to Dr. Parkins, of
the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, in whose service the pri-
soner's wife lived as nurse, and where he first became ac-
quainted with Susannah Butcher. In the course of the same
night he again exclaimed, " Oh! my dear boy, that nasty
woman has been my ruin. Oh ! that a man should ruin
himself by that nasty drink and —. I'll run—l'll run
away. Oh ! you wicked father. Going to see that nasty
woman has been the cause of my ruin."

These exclamations show the perturbed state of Good's
mind on the night after he had undergone examination at
Bow-street Police-court. It may now be as well to give some
account of his demeanour upon the following day when
visited by the magistrates.
Between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday,. Sir John
Hansler, accompanied by J. B. Armstrong, Esq., entered
the prisoner's cell (apartment would better characterise the
portion of the building in which Good is detained), and Sir
Jobn, addressing him said, " I understand you have had
the chaplain with you ?" To which Good replied, " Yes,
sir, and he has read me two chapters out of the Bible,
and he has made me shed tears." Sir John observed, " 1
hope those tears came from the heart as well as the eyes;"
and Good answered that they did. At this time the pri-
soner was seated before a good fire, and in the course of
conversation displayed considerable anxiety as to the dis-
posal of his body, supposing he was hanged ; he expressed
himself in terms of abhorrence at having his body dissected
after death, but in a few minutes regained his wonted com-
posure, and inquired if he might not be perMitted to have a
potatoe for dinner. The magistrate replied " certainly, he
might have potatoes and some solids if he pleased." Sir
John then asked the prisoner if he could read, and he stated
that he could neither read nor write, and Mr. Chesterton,
the governer of the gaol, observed that of course a man
should read to him. Seieral religious tracts and a Bible
were upon the table for the use of the turnkeys attending
upon Good, and from the reading of which he said he felt
considerable gratification. He said he hoped his boy would
be taken care of, adding that he had been married, and that
the boy was his son by his first wife. Sir John Hansler
asked, " Were you really married, and is that your son by
the marriage ?" and the prisoner answered in the affirmative.
The prisoner showed a disposition to be very communicative,
and to say a great deal more, but says Sir John Hansler, " I
was anxious, as a magistrate, not to extract anything from
him that might criminate himself." The impression made
upon this interview with the prisoner is, that he is not dis-
posed to be any longer artful, but that he seems to be re-
gardless of life, and desirous of giving himself up to justice.
Indeed the general belief of those that Piave conversed with
him appears to be, that within a few hours he will make a
free and full confession of his guilt. Before leaving him, Sir
John Hansler asked the prisoner if he was an Irishman, and
he said that he was born in Hampshire, but was taken to Ire-
land when very young, and having been brought up there he
had acquired the brogue and manners of an Irishman.
Shortly after the two magistrates referred to had quitted
the prisoner's cell, another visiting justice inquired of Good
if be had every thing comfortable ? Good said he bad, but
should like to have his clothes, alleging that the officers had
plenty of them. The magistrate explained to the prisoner
that he could. not be permitted to have them, as it was ne-
cessary he should go to Bow-street in the same dress as that
which he wore when brought into the prison. Good then
said, " Where is my white neckerchief; cannot I have that?
I should like it better than this blue one ;" and he was told
he might have the neckerchief he wore washed, but could
not be allowed to wear any other. The justice next asked
Good if he had slept well ? and he replied, " Oh, yes ; very
well. That is as good a bed (pointing to a mattress upon
which he had slept) as I had at Mr. Shiell's." He then said
he ought not to have been there, and declared it was merely
a little drink and Susannah Butcher that had got him into
trouble. The magistrate asked who Susannah Butcher was,
and Good answered, " The girl 1 fell in love with." The
worthy magistrate then explained to Good that he was not
there for punishment, but merely for safe custody, and hav-
ing told him that any request he might make (consistent
with the rules of the gaol) should be complied with, the jus-
tice took his departure.

From other statements which Good has made it appears
that upon the night the murder was discovered he fled to
South-street, Manchester-square, and remained there until
the following morning. He says he laid down and rested
himself, but did not go to sleep. He then took a cab and
removed the things belonging to Jane Jones to the Spotted
Dog, Strand, where he left them, and proceeded to his wife's,
" Molly Good," in Spitalfields. On his way thither he got
M'Evey to write the letter to Mr. Shiell for his wages, and
at the time, he adds, " I was dressed in a plaid stuff cloak,
which Jane Jones used to wear, but which belonged to my
wife." This agrees with M'Evey's description of him.
It may be as well here to explain that the prisoner was
married io Molly Good 22 years since in Ireland, but appears
subsequently to have been married to a nurse in Dr. Parkins's
family, by whom Good had four children, and the only one
now surviving was examined at the inquest.
But to return to his flight. He returned with Molly
Good on the Thursday to the Spotted Dog, and fetched
away his luggage in a cab, and the same morning he went
into the Borough and saw a relation. He afterwards went
to Deptford, to see a nephew, who works near the Creek
at an iron foundry, and again returned to the Borough,
where he slept on the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights. Good says on Friday be came into the city, and on
passing over London-bridge he heard a man crying out the
particulars of the murder, and • selling the printed ac-
counts, and he stopped for a minute or two and listened to
him. On Saturday he again visited Deptford, and in the
evening returned to the borough, when his relation, with
whom he was staying, said that the men at the " pay table "
had been reading the newspapers (this is Good's own ac-
sount,) and that he must be off. He remarked—" Oh,
there are more Daniel Goods than one, and they then
went and purchased the dress in which he was taken, and a
new hod, and he started for ,Deptford, where he slept that
night. On Sunday morning he set out, with his hod across
his shoulder and clothes tied up in a bundle under it, to
Bromley, where he went to a barber's to be shaved. Here,
be says, he felt rather confused, as be recognised the barber
as the same man who had shaved him a week before, when
he was dressed in his livery, and had driven his master's fa-
mily to Chisellaurst ; however, the barber did not know him
again, and, having coolly sat out the operation of shaving, he
started for Sevenoaks, upon reaching which place he got the
master of an inn to direct his bundle to Tonbridge.

RAILWAY STATISTICS.—At a meeting of the Statistical
S.ciety of London, held on Monday last, Lord Sandon in
the chair, a paper on accidents upon railways, by C. R.
Weld, Esq., was read, by which it appears, that between
August, 1840, and December, 1841, 204 accidents occurred,
by which 115 persons were killed, and 295 injured. Of the
above number of accidents, 125 took place in the past year,
and 79 in the preceding five months, which is a decrease of
exactly one-third. The number of persons carried by 50
railways amounted to 9,122,613, during the half-year ending
July 1, 1841. It appears that a diminution has taken place
in the number of accidents resulting from collisions arising
chiefly from mismanagement, or defective arrangements. A
great proportion of the accidents that occurred at the end of
1840, and the beginning of 1841, were of this nature, no
fewer than 17 accidents having occurred in eight months,
from August, 1840, to April, 1841, from the single cause of
collisions by trains or engines overtaking others travelling
on the same line. During the nine tnonths, from April,
1841, to Jan. 1812, only five collisions of this nature occurred,
and those, with one exception, unattended with fatal conse-
quences. Altogether, the management of railways is so
much better understood, that there is every reason to hope
that accidents will ere long be of very unfrequent occurrence.
DISSENTING STATISTICS.—After deducting from the total
population of the metropolitan county, the inhabitants of
the city of London, Westminster, LamVeth, Southwark, and
Marylebone, there still remains upwards of ONE MILLION of
souls to be provided with the means of religious instruction
and worship. What accommodation do thy afford in their
46 meeting-houses? In order that no fault may be found
with our statistics, we will include Hope Chapel, Cambridge-
road Chapel, Gloucester-street Chapel, and other little places
of worship in the general calculation of 400 to each buildixg,
and what is the total number provided for out of this mil-
lion ? Just 18,400 !! So that 981,600 souls are left unpro-
vided for by dissent in the Tower Hamlets and Finsbury,
and in the other districts of the county of Middlesex, not
included in the city of London, Westminster, Lambeth,
Southwark, and Marylebone ! ! So that out of a population
of 1,576,616, these notable dissenters, these primitive Chris-
tians, as they style themselves, or congregationalists, supply
only meeting room for 39,400 ! leaving a deficiency unpro-
vided for of 4;37,216. Thus, as we said at the outset, dis-
sent provides by means of the congregationalists in the
county of Middlesex for just ONE-FORTIETH portion of the
population." But does one-fortieth portion attend ? No—
nor one sixtieth. It is true that such men as Dr. Collier,
Dr. Liefchild, Mr. Clayton, Thomas Binney, Dr. Morison,
Dr. Fletcher, Dr. Andrew Reed, and Dr. Burder, draw
larger congregations than 400. But these are only the heads
of the tribe. • Visit, as we have done, the meeting-houses of
the humbler organs of the voluntary principle in our metro-
politan county, and it will be found that from 150 to 200
persons are the average number who attend on the Sunday
morning. Many a dissentibg minister, indeed, would have
occasion to take courage if, on the days of the quarterly col-
lection, so great a number could be found. These are the
dissenting statistics of the county of Middlesex.—Church
and State Gazette.

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—Since Friday evening
the family of Mr. T. Martin, of Deverell-street, Old Kent-
road, have been thrown into a state of alarm, arisitg from
two of the female servants having been discovered to be poi-
soned ; of one of whom, from the dreadful state in which
she remains up to the present time, there are but faint
hopes of recovery. The poison taken has been laudanum,
which was administered in the beer. The following are the
particulars connected with this mysterious case:-0n the af-
ternoon in question, Mr. and Mrs. Martin went out, leaving
the two women at home, both of whom, at that time, were
in the full enjoyment of their health. Upon their return in
the evening, Mr. Martin was surprised at not finding the
door answered. Having obtained an entrance, he proceeded
to the kitchen, when, to his astonishment, he saw both
the women lying on the floor in a state of stupor, and ap-
parently dying. Serjeant Woodhouse, of the M division,
happened to pass, when he was called in by Mr. Martin,
who then went and procured the medical aid of Mr. Water-
house, surgeon, of the Old Kent-road, who at once detected
the nature of the poison which had been taken. The neces-
sary remedies were at once administered, but with faint hopes
of the recovery of the youngest. From the statement of Mr.
and Mrs. Martin it appears that the oldest of the two women
had received notice to quit ; and in the course of a day or two
afterwards the other girl gave notice. Being a very good
servant, and much liked by the family, Mrs. Martin inquired
the cause of giving notice, and whether she had any fault to
find with her situation. She replied in the negative. Upon
which Mrs. Martin said " You had better consider what you
are going to do; for if 1 should go after the character of any
applicant," and it suits, it will be too late for you to alter your
opinion. Subsequently the girl said, that her fellow-ser-
vant had advised her to leave. Nothing further transpired
until the evening in question, when the beer came, and
was placed upon the hob of the kitchen range, which they
both partook of, but the youngest drank by far the greater
portion ; the effect of the beverage was almost instantane-
ous, and but for the arrival at home of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin at the time they did death would have ensued. In
reply to several questions of Inspector Yates and Sergeant
Woodhouse,who have since been to the house, the girl stated
in the first instance, that from the time the beer arrived until
it was drank it had not been out of her sight, nor had any-
thing been put into it. She, however, subsequently stated
that she recollected going up stairs, while the beer was in the
kitchen, and was away about ten minutes. Upon searching
the kitchen a bottle which had contained laudanum was
found, and which had been recently emptied of its contents.
Mr. Martin observed to the police, that since the older ser-
vant had notice to go, one of his children was a few days
before discovered to belabouring under an extraordinary de-
gree of stupor, and slept for a great number of hours. The
extraordinary state in which he found the child caused him to
inquire what had been administered, when one of the women
said she had given it a small portion of gin and water. At
present neither of the women are in a condition to be
rezained.--Times.

MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.

(From the Skteamand

A confersation upon the' grant ioMainooth aroie yester-
day evenin,, week, in the House of Lords, in which Lords
Cloncurry, Wicklow, and Kenyon took part. The last named
nobleman presented a petition against the continuance of that
grant, and supported its prayer by some judicious observa-
tions, at the close of which he expressed a hope that a strict
inquiry into the whole system of education at that seminary
would be early instituted. Lord Cloncurry, whose calling it
is upon every possible occasion ro support what he has sworn
he believes to be a damnable error, volunteered a strong tes-
timony in favour of Maynooth College. His lordship said
he was sure that all those who were engaged in the educa-
tion of the students at Mayncoth would be glad of the fullest
inquiry into the whole system adopted there." Now, we have
only to remark, that if the noble lord believes any such thing,
he must either think the good fathers of Maynooth very sim-
ple indeed, or be himself little short of a simpleton. The
immense difficulty which even the most sagacious and ener-
getic industry experienced in tracing to the authorities of the
college one of the most notorious of its class-books, is some
evidence of the alacrity with which the candid professors and
patrons of Maynooth would bail a scrutiny of their system.
Who does not remember the striking spectacle which followed
the startling discovery of one solitary volume in their insti-
tuted course of education ?—who can forget the shrinking,
the doubling, the prevarication, the lies, by which the learned
and pious guides of the Maynooth teaching laboured to ac-
quit themselves of having sanctioned the study of that book?
—the anguish and panic which smote the heart of the whole
fraternity, that even one page of their mysteries should have
fluttered through the bars to the light ? No doubt they
would welcome an inquiry—no doubt these much-injured pa-
trons of literature and piety pant for a scrutiny into their
class-books !

" I can state," continued his lordship, " that education is
nowhere better conducted than at that college." His lord-
ship can state it, no doubt, for his powers of statement are
unquestionably large ; but with the fact before the country
that " DENS' Theology" forms one of the few detected
volumes in the class library of Maynooth, his lordship, with
all his deservedly exalted reputation, will hardly find an
individual in the country so weak in intellect as to believe
the statement which he has now been pleased to make.
The Earl of Wicklow, inspired by the oratory of his noble
brother in the faith, offered himself as a second champion
of Popery, and pronounced a most passionate eulogium upon
Maynooth, and every thing in and about it—hoping, in con-
clusion, that this Protestant country would have wisdom
enough to make a large addition to the yearly stipend paid
out of the public purse for the promulgation of Popery. To
this very striking peroration Lord Kenyon replied by a plain
question : he asked the noble lord whether or not he was
acquainted with the course of education pursued at May-
nooth ? to which Lord Wicklow frankly answered that he
knew nothing at all about it. The value of such support to
the grant will be appreciated in England.
[The Rev. R. J. M`Ghee, in a letter in the Record, after
pointing out the errors in the petitions which have been
usually presented to parliament on this subject, recommends
one of a different kind for the universal adoption of all Pro-
testants. It embodies not vague or abstract principles, but
demonstrates facts—facts based on evidence within the reach
of parliament. It marks out the course for committees of
both houses to investigate ; and if the statements in the
petition be true, no government can pretend they are not fit
subjects for investigation. The petition is in itself a most
important tract, and conveys a condensed statement of awful
facts for the Protestant population of the empire.—E. L. S.]

We hear that one of the privates of the Scots Greys, now
stationed at Exeter, received one hundred lashes on Saturday
morning, for repeatedly pilfering the rations of his comrades.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 18.
The supply at market this morning is very large, which has
caused a heavy trade in all descriptions of Meat. Beef is upon the
whole steady, but Lamb has declined considerably since this day
week, and is quoted from 6s to 6s Bd, and Mutton from 33 6d to
4s Bd. In Veal there is no material alteration. Per stone of Bibs,
sinking the offal.
