TIM BUCKINGHAMSHIRE MURDER.  The prisoner Lynn still continues in a very composed state of mind, and employs his time in perusing religious books ; lie cats little. Several Noblemen, anti other distinguished personages, residing in the county, continue to visit him, and his conversation is marked wilt rationality, and at times he seems to forget altogether the enormity of his crime, and treats it with much levity. When the mystery that hangs over the absence of Mangan is the subject of conversation, he has more than once said—" Poor fellow, I wish he was found," and continues the most solemn asseverations of his innocence as to Daniel's disappearance. The Rev. Alr.Ashtield, the Chaplain of the gaol, is indefatigsble in his exertions to bring the wretched man to a sense of his awful situation, and in which he has been somewhat successful. Roadnight, one if the principal turnkeys of the prison, is his constant companion, and it: turns with the other turnkeys, sits up with the prisoner nightly. Yesterday morning lie requested to have his beard taken off, which had grown to souse length; it was deemed expedient by Air. Shetiffe, the worthy Governor, not to have him shaved, fearing. front the sac of his mind, and his frequent attempts to destroy himself, that he would avail himself of the opportunity, and effect his purpose with the razor. When the request was made by the prisoner, Mr. Sheri& seemed to hesitate; upon which the prisoner said—" Aye, I know you are afraid I shall do myself an injury ; but I won't, you may rely On it: now do let me be shaved." Mr. Sherif& told him he should be shaved, if he promised to be quiet during the operation. The prisoner scented thankful, and declared he would be quiet. lie was then shaved.

" Reverend Sir,—Under the impression that you will pardon my presumption in troubling you with this letter, 1 have ventured to make a request, which, if complied with, will be ever considered an obligation. " There is a young man, named Charles Lynn, in Aylesbury gaol, for the murder or Abraham Hogg, and is strongly suspected, in conjunction with Hogg, to be concerned in the extraordinary disappearance of my brother, late postman and messenger to Sir Robert Burnett and Co.. Vauxhall, for whose absence myself and the rest of my family are inconsolable, being fearful that he has fallen a victim to the prisoner Lynn, and the unfurtuna:e Hogg, I have (well knowing that Lynn will not, from him disposition, dia. close anything to his friends) taken the liberty of 'inking you, if you can with propriety, in the course of your devotional intercourse' with him, ask him it he knows anything st all about Dan. Mangan. anti if he was, or was not, with 31angan on the Sunday Wore him and Hogg left London on the Wednesday, at the house of ,Ir. Clarke, the King's Head, at the corner of Manor-place, Walworth, where they drank a glass of gin each at the bar. The favour of an answer to this Kum. will ever be considered with gratitude. " 1 ain, Reverend Sir, " Your very humble servant, " To the Rev. Mr. Aslitield, "
