MtIItIDFR AT TtorITAMPTON

(From Saturday's London papers.)
Nina days have now elapsed since the discovery of the
above most inhuman murder, and the perpetrator is still, we
we regret to state, at large.

Yesterday a sergeant of the C division of police reported
to the inspector on duty at the Vine-street station-house the
following circumstance :—Abut four o'clock on Thursday
afternoon, a man strongly resembling the murderer Daniel
Good, and attired in a similar manner to the man who, on
the afternoon of Saturday last, went into the shop of Mr.
Wilcox, the hairdresser in Marylebone-street, Piccadilly,
went into the Compasses public-house, Silver-stroet, Golden-
square, kept by Mrs. Witham. He had with him a bundle
tied up in a silk handkerchief, and a yellow walking-stick.
He went up to the bar and called for a pint of beer, and
while in the act of drinking some of it lie appeared consider-
ably agitated, and he asked in a hurried manner for the sight
of a newspaper. One was handed to him, and lie stood and
looked at it for a minute or two, when he walked with rapid
strides to and fro in front of the bar until he appeared tired,
when he again stood still. After he had been in the house
about half an hour, a stout man, of younger appearance,
dressed as a sailor, came in, and, tapping the first man on
the shoulder, said to him, " It's time for us to go," and
they both then left the house. The landlady was asked by
the sergeant if upon her perceiving a resemblance between
the man and the description she had read of the murderer
Good, she made any alarm, or took any steps for his deten-
tion, w hen she said that there being only herself and her
sister in the house at the time, she was afraid to make any
disturbance. The sergeant closely questioned Mrs. Witham
as to the description she gave of the man, but she adhered to
her first statement.

At twelve o'clock at noon yesterday a letter was delivered
by the postman at Granard Lodge, the residence of Mr.
Quelez Shiell, addressed to that gentleman. It bore the
postmark of one of the principal offices (Charing-cross), and
was marked " Twopence," being unstamped. On its being
opened, it was found that it purported to come from the mur-
derer, the name of " Daniel Good" being signed at the
bottom. The address was much clearer written than on the
previous letter, as were also the contents, which were to the
following effect :
" Dear Sir—l have sent to you again, and for the last
time, to ask you to give the £7 lOs to my desolate son, and
be kind to watch over my poor boy. To-night, at twelve
o'clock I jump off Waterloo-bridge. My body will be found
in the river, near Waterloo-bridge. Good by, God bless
you. I die in grace.
(Signed) " DAN. GOOD."

The letter bears no date, but the postmark is Thursday
evening, eight o'clock. Immediately after reading the letter
Mr. Shiell despatched it to Superintendent Bicknell's house,
by whom it was forwarded to the commissioners' office, in
Scotland-yard, by a mounted express. The authenticity of
the letter is doubted by the police authorities, who deem it
to be the work of some trifling person for the purpose of an-
noying the feelings of the aged master of the murderer.
Up to a late hour last night no direct clue bad been ob-
tained by the police likely to lead to the apprehension of the
murderer.

APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER.
(Abridged from yesterday's Times.)
The inhuman monster, Daniel Good, is, we are happy to
say, at length apprehended, and is now in safe custody in
Maidstone Gaol. The circumstances connected with the dis-
covery of the retreat of the murderer and his apprehension
are as singular as were those under which the first discovery
of the murder was made.
On yesterday se'nnight he hired himself at Tonbridge in
Kent, as a bricklayer's labourer, under the name of James
Connor. He performed his work well and was regularly at
it, but he shunned all communication with his fellow-work-
men. He was noticed by the female with whom he took up
his abode as lodger to show many peculiarties of conduct,
and was very restless all night, sighing and moaning. He
continued at work as usual until last Saturday morning, when
a man named Thomas Rose, who had formerly been a con-
stable of the V division of the metropolitan police, and while
so was stationed at Wandsworth, but who now is a labouring
man residing in Tonbridge, saw the man calling himself Con-
nor at work, and immediately recognizing him as the mur-
derer Good, accosted him, and said, " Why you are the man
Good. Your name is Daniel Good." The man replied,
" No, it is not ; my name is James Connor." Rose then
said, " Why, you are he that I have seen in Putney Park-
lane ; you was coachman to a gentleman there." The man
told him he was mistaken, he never had been a coachman,
and was quite unacquainted with any place called Putney
Park-lane. Rose then said, " Oh, I have seen you frequently
at the stables opposite to Mr. Hutton's, and you know young
Houghton." The man again denied all knowledge of either
the place or the person he was alleged to be intimate with, but
he did so in so confused a manner as at once to convince
Rose that he was no other than Daniel Good, the murderer.
Rose did not then attempt to take the alleged Connor into
custody, but gave private directions to some persons near to
watch him, whilst he (Rose) went to give information to Mr.
Humphrey, the superintendent of police. That officer re-
turned with Rose, and, feeling satisfied there was sufficient
in the appearance of the man, and in his conduct, to warrant
his detention, took him into custody, and conveyed him to
the watchhouse. Mr. Hare, a resident magistrate, was then
sent for, who directed the prisoner to be brought before him
at the offices of the magistrate's clerk, Mr. Scoone. Mr.
Hate took his seat upon the bench at two o'clock. Evidence
to the above effect was then gone into, and the prisoner was
committed to Maidstone gaol.
The prisoner brought a bundle with him to Tunbridge, in
which were found, after his apprehension, the old drab frock
coat, drab trousers and gaiters which were stated to have been
worn by Good when he escaped from the stables in Putney
Park Lane, and several other articles usually worn by grooms.
The prisoner was afterwards identified by a private constable
who was perfectly acquainted with his person.
A man, of the name of Richard Gammell, in Symonds'-
buildings, Gray's Inn-lane, has been also taken into custody,
on a charge of harbouring and secreting the murderer. On
searching this man's room several gowns and other articles
of female apparel which are believed to have belonged to the
murdered woman were found.

At an early hour yesterday morning, " Molly Good," the
murderer's reputed wife, was taken into custody, on a charge
of being accessory to the murder after the fact. They will
be brought up at the Bow-street police-court this (Monday)
morning, before Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, for ex-
amination.

WEST INDIAN IMMIGRATION

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI-

SLAVERY SOCIETY, 27, NEW BROAD-STREET

Berkeley House, April 14, 1842,

Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet, en-
titled, " Emigration from India," to which your name, " on
behalf of the committee of our British and Foreign Anti-Sla-
very Society," is subscribed. In return I have to request
that you will acquaint the members of that committee that
it has been with the deepest regret that I have looked through
the pages of that publication, and in it perceived a vein so
party-stricken and purposely deceptive as to the real inten-
tions of those who are advocates for the importation of free
labour into the Mauritius, as well as other places, that I can-
not but regard it as calculated to do an infinity of mischief
to the general welfare of British colonial property, while, at
the same time, it amounts to an address favourable to the
foreign slaver.
I have ever voted for, and been an unflinching advocate in
furtherance of the abolition of slavery ; but, at the same
time, I have never lent myself, nor will I lend-myself, to the
views of a party who seem entirely to forget that there are
other interests as well as those of the negro population which
are entitled to an equal share of just and fair attention from
the government of this country. At the present moment
there exists a ruinous depression on colonial property, as un-
called for as it is cruel. There are localities where our black
population cannot be induced, either by fair and ample amount
of wages, or by giving them an interest in the produce, to
work upon estates; and to such an extent has this existed,
that the owners of many estates have been necessitated to
expend far more than the sum received as compensation, in
forced disbursements, without a shilling of income in return.
It is an established fact, that, in the last year, the cost of la-
bour in making a hogshead of sugar, in British Guiana, was
greater than the value obtained for that commodity in the
London market. _ _

In parts of British Guiana a fortnight's labour, or less, will
supply a native family with vegetables for 12 months ; the
river abounds with the finest fish, while the " bush," or
forest, is full of deer and hogs ; in addition to this the climate
and the custom of the country renders clothing in no way im-
portant to the comfort of the negro. They have at their com-
mand the necessaries of life without the necessity of money
to procure them. How, then, can you awaken in the breast
of these people a desire for gold, or give them an interest in
produce arising from the culture of the land ?
I would impress upon the anti-slavery committee, and on
the public, that unless free labour be introduced, and that
to a widely spread and liberal extent, the cultivation of our'
colonies must eventually be abandoned, our possessions be
returned into the hands of a black population, our nursery
for seamen and the consumption of 14,000,000 of home pro-
duce be lost to this country, the cause of religion relinquished,
and that which was once a boasted territory, its population
and all, be left to retrograde into a state of barbarism.
We have it now before our eyes, that the negroes in De-
merara have struck to a mau for exorbitant wages, while as
a fact in favour of free labour importation, it is proved that
the Portuguese emigrant has remained faithful and content-
ed with his employer. Do not tell me then that religion,
reason, or justice demand that we should oppose an emigra-
tion properly regulated, and where the spiritual and tempo-
ral welfare of the labourer would be duly considered and
cared for by Government.

I repeat, sir, my regrets, that a struggle so just and beauti-
ful as the one in which we were lately engaged in for the
abolition of slavery should now be turned into a mere run,
and an unjust one too, against individual property, simply
because that property is situated where slavery used to exist.
For myself, I am an advocate for the general importation
of free labour to the Mauritius, to the British West India
colonies, wherever it is required—Guiana, Demerara, and
Berbice—guarded, as the measure should be, with the utmost
jealousy as to the welfare, spiritual and temporal, of the
emigrants. _ _ _

A- sufficiency of free labour once fairly obtained, the Bri-
tish West India merchant need fear no reduction of the du-
ties on foreign sugar, but, on the contrary, he would be able
to compete with the market of the world.

- Your most obedient humble servant,
GRANTLEY, FITZHARDINGE BERKELEY

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE OF DIVINE WORSHIP.
—On Sunday morning divine service was performed at the
Institution of the Refuge for the Adult Destitute Deaf and
Dumb, in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, London. The
congregation was composed chiefly of deaf and dumb per-
sons, and this is the first attempt at instructing in scriptural
doctrines by public worship that class of the suffering com-
munity labouring under the deprivation of the senses of
hearing and speaking ever made. The service was con-
ducted in the following manner, and presented a most inter-
esting scene :—Mr. Rosser, a deaf and dumb gentleman,
performed, if it may be so termed, selections from the morn-
ing service, which was done by making signs with his fing-
ers, and the rapidity with which he did it was wonderful.
The Lord's Prayer was delivered entirely by pantomimical
gestures, and was a beautiful specimen of expressive silence.
After the morning service Mr. J. G. Simpson delivered a
short but eloquent discourse from the 35th chap. of Isaiah,
and it was conveyed to his audience through the medium of
signs, as he slowly proceeded, by Miss Janet Crouch, a re-
markably intelligent little girl, only eight years of age, who,
although neither deaf nor dumb, is as conversant with the

The " brief" lately issued from the Vatican, enjoining a
plenary indulgence in the form of a jubilee to all the faithful,
that their prayets may be offered up for the maintenance of
the Papal supremacy in Spain, has thrown the Irish Roman
Catholic hierarchy into a perfect ferment. " Pastorals" are
flying in all directions descriptive of the schism and its con-
comitant evils which threaten to supersede the authority of
Pope Gregory XVI in the government of the Spanish Church.
"John Taam" was the first to respond to the warning voice
from Rome ; and the echo has been caught up by Drs. Blake
and Keatinge, titulars of Dromore and Ferns. The former,
in the course of his " Pastoral," quotes the following pas-
sages &bin the " lamentations of the common father," to use
the words of Dr. Blake himself; and to say the truth, ac-
cording to this statement, matters appear to fully justify
Pope Gregory's wont apprehensions :
" In the supreme councils of that kingdom," says his holi-
ness, " an execrable law has been proposed, tending princi-
pally to destroy altogether legitimate ecclesiastical authority,
and to establish the impious doctrine, that lay power, by its
own supreme right, should rule over the Church and all its
affairs.

" This law declares that the Spanish nation shall entertain
no respect for the Apostolic See ; that all communications
with it, for whatsoever ecclesiastical favours, indulgences,
and concessions, shall be intercepted ; and that all those who
shall resist this order shall be severely punished. It is fur-
ther decreed that all apostolic letters, and other rescripts
emanating from the Holy See, unless they be sought of Spain,
not only shall not be observed and be without any effect, hut
must be denounced by those to whom they shall come, within
a brief space of time, to the civil authority, that they may
be handed over by it to the government ; and a punishment
is also appointed for those who shall violate this prescription,
that no cause shall be referred from Rome to Spain on the
subject of religious concerns. In fine, the sacred right which
belongs to the Roman Pontiff of confirming or rejecting
bishops in Spain is entirely abolished ; and both the priests
who, being designated for any episcopal church, shall seek
either confirmation or apostolic letters from the Holy See,
and metropolitans who shall solicit the pallium, are punished
with exile."
