Hon mete MURDER NEAR Yonx.—Thomas Robinson, aged 27, the .arnekeeperto Paul B. Thompson, Esq., M.P., of Esrick, was, on 'Thursday morning last, most inhumanly murdered. He resided at Kexby, six miles from York, and had been from nine o'clock on Wednesday night, till the following morning, at a neighbour's house, paving his addresses to a respectable voting female. He left there in good spirits, anal was never afterwards seen alive. Two gun-shots were heard soon after he left the house, and about twelve o'clock at noon. on Thursday, his lifeless body was found on Dunnington Common, about 300 yards from the house. His throat was dreadfully cut, and there was a bruise on the left arm. His gun was found in an adjoining field, and his hat, coat, and waistcoat in I hree other places. It is supposed that he had pursued some poachers, and thrown off his clothes, as was his habit; and there is every rtsason to believe that inure than one person has been concerned in the murder. The deceased was a powerful, determined man, and was greatly esteemed by his employer and al! his neighbours. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, and adjourned to Friday. After the inquest was adjourued, at twelve o'clock on Thursday night, the witnesses were examined by Mr. Preston, privately, :and soon after a young man, a farmer in the neighbourhood, named Morley, was apprehended, conveyed to York, and lodged in the House of Correction,--Leeds Intelligrecer. REPRESENTATION OF Or,Dil M.—A. rumour has prevailed during the week that Mr. Fielden, M.P. for Oldham, disheartened by the loss of his political crutch, the late Mr. Cobbett, and chagrined at the failure of the " intine,nee" he exerted in favour of Cobbett the Second, is about to resign the representation of that immaculate borough. We fear the wig, of some honest elector has given birth to the thoug,ht, and that the days of emancipation are not yet come or coming. Mr. Jesse Ainsworth, however, whose qualifications for the office it surpasses our feeble powers, and probably those of every other mortal cave himself, to discover, is a candi-late for the not yet vacant office, and boasts (or rather did boast well nigh a week since) that he has obtained the promise of 260 votes. Who shall doubt it ItiOldhain all things are possible, and it were very fitting that the mantle of Mr. John Belden should fall upon the shoulders of Mi. Jesse Ainsworth. But the fates, we bee , have in this case otheiwise decreed. Should Mr. Fielden happila beim:laced to resign, a second conservative vs-ill be brought riirssard and (Mr. Fitton willing !) will be returltrd.--.--Mamhe.o
