DERBT'S.—The Dublin Daily Express states that Lord Derby, who was enthusiastically and cordially greeted, addressed the meeting in a speech of an hour and a half, which was loudly cheered throughout. The noble Earl's exposition of the state of parties, the duties of the great Conservative body which recognises him as its leader, and the principles on which they ought now to act, was received by those present with unmistakeable marks of satisfaction. His Lordship severely criticised the career' of the present administration, comparing the large promises held forth with the paltry performances of 'All the Talents,' and pointing out and urging the fact that the only party who possess a clear and definite principle, and a firm footing for political action, are the Conservatives. Having glanced at the rumour of a speedy dissolution of Parliament, and derided the idea of the present Ministers appealing to the constituencies, without any intelligible question to go upon—for, as yet, they had introduced no great measure—Lord Derby turned to the subject of the budget, declaring that, should it appear that the income-tax was to be proposed for renewal in its present unfair incidence, it would become the duty of the Conservative party to resist it to the uttermost. This announcement was received with marks of extreme satisfaction by the meeting, which shortly after broke up without a dissentient voice having been raised." THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN BLAIR'S Caoss.—At the Marylehone Police Court on Tuesday, a man who refused to give any other than the Christian name of Robert, but whose real name is supposed to be Robert Gardiner, was brought up for re-examination, charged on his own confession with having murdered his wife, whose body he stated, when he gave himself up, he had buried in a cellar at ildinburgh ; and the exact spot he could, if permitted, point out. The police stated that they had reason to believe, from the communications they had received from Rdinburgh, that the prisoner was a single man and a compositor by trade, and not in he right mind. In answer to questions from Mr. Broughton, the prisoner said —'l never had a wife. My real name is Gardiaer, I have been working in the country as a compositor. I came up to London last Wednesday morning week, and, after wandering about without either money or food, I saw the station-house door open ; there was a fire therein, and I presented myself there for admittance, but was kicked out. I knew not what to do, as I had nowhere to go to, and a thought suddenly struck me that I should obtain shelter if I gave myself up as a murderer of my wife. Having done so, I was looked upon as a person of some importance, and was asked politely to take a nmal, consisting of a potato and bread and cheese.' Prisoner farther said, that all he had stated with respect to the murder was a fier and that he had merely a'antecl a lodging toe' being entirely cleoitote of the Low- ,ae night, ..on, bed. An officer said he bet' -of Paying for a ..eved that the prisoner commit had more than once I • •,.; ...yen charged with attempting to sum The prisoner, who assured the —rate that he never committed or even contemplated a murder, was remanded for a week.
