CONFESSION OF THE MURDERERR.  The mystery which for some time shrouded the horrible minter committed at Embleton a fortnight ago has now been dispelled by the confession of George Cass, Mr. Fears.' hushandtnan, whose apprehension on suspicion we announced yesterday. Soon after being locked up, Cass expressed a desire to see the chief constable. Hr. Dunne went to him, when Cass toll him that he wished to make • statement about the murder. Mr. Dunne sent imme. diately for Mr. Waugh. the magistrates' clerk, and his assistant clerk, and in the presence of these three gentlemen, Can confessed that he had murdered Ann Sewell. He said that when he returned from the field for ►is mare the girl asked him something about mending her clog for her. He would not comply with her request ; she therefore called him names and threw the table knife at him, the hasdle of which struck him under the eye. He threw it back at her sad it struck her throat end cut it. She then told him that since be had gone so far he had better smarrier her altogether. He seised the knife again, and setting upon her committed the deed with which he sow stands charged.

Some of the prisms". statemeuts must, however, be looked upon with suspicion in the meantime. For instance, it seems stooge that his face bore no mark of • blow. The coins, along with the clothes which the prisoner says he wore when the murder was committed, have been forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis ; far although Cars Las confessed his guilt, It will be seminary to have the evidence made out fully against him.  A Vienna letter of the sth says :—" Yesterday and the day before two demonstrations took place at Path, which were quite orderly, but, nevertheless, fully prove that the public feeling remains th•w same. The first was a performance at the Academy of Music and Declamation for the benefit of the starving inhabitants of Croatia. Though the prices of admission were five times higher than usual, the house was crowded to exam, and everybody wore the national costume. The receipts amounted to 50,000 fiorim. On the following day took place the funeral of the student who diet in consequence of the wounds he had received in the ,li.turb.anee of the 15th ult. Allove 60,000 persons followed the rorbqc. Several noblemen of the highest families, accompanied by their wives, went before the hearse. The whole population lined the road from the deceased's residence to the cemetery. Sever-AI addresses were delivered over the grave ; the national patriotic cries were raised, and taken up enthusiastically by the crowd, but there was
