DEII.—A most diabolical murder Was (-Ow milted at Nottingham, on Saturday se'rmiglit, about elevtit o'clock. A female of the. name of Mary . Austin., a married woman, and who had resided at Leicester with her husband, by whom she'had two children, in consequence of some disagreement, left him some time ago, and went to Nottingham, whet., she took lodgings on the River Beck side, opposite Snow-bill : in an adjoining apartment lived one Thomas, De:Fry, a framework-knitter, together with his wife. It seems that a'criininal connexion took place betwixt Dewey and Mary Aiidtin. .one after sons, by her husband, was apprenticed at ;,siattinghatn but absconding from his master, he was taken and, loded the House of Correction; this circumstance induced Austin to go to Leicester, .in order to prevail with, her husband to -retsina to Nottingham to effect the lad's liberation, which he did,. anti , they both travelled by the Leicester coach on S.ittardity evening. The unfortunate woman. went shortly after to li6l- where she was met by Dewey, who shook her by the hand, gave her a kiss, and retired into his own apartment, where his wife was at the time; shortly after, he took a ladle,' such as butchers usually kill pigs' with, and returning into Austin's room, plunged the weapon into the poor .creature's side, so as to reach her heart; she gave 1010 acrenni, which brought in Dewey's wife, who found the 'poor. worn on the door, bleedingrofusely, and expiring with the. knife. sticking in her side. The murderer then kissed thyteceakd. • went to his wife's father and mother, and told them What he had done; he was soon after taken into custody, and on Saturday an inquest was held at the Neptune tavern, and verdiet of " WilfUl Murder" :returned against him. At sir; o'clock on Monday morning, he was takcp, ,qnthe .Caraner'a warrant to the town gaol, preparatory to undeigoing his- trial at the Assizes.—(Lincoln Mercury.), The Hylton Join:he, Ciptftin HOWLETT steam.. packet, left Hamburgh on Saturday morning at half-past nine o'clock, and arrived at Gravesend on Monday evening at half: past seven o'clock—say in 58 hours. She'went from 'Gravesend to Cuxhaven in 52 hours.  On Wednesday, WALLAcr's Swsono was brought here in a box, from Dumbarton Castle, on its Nay, to the,Tower of London. The venloval has occasioned, nor without reason, a good deal• of dissatisfaction in this part of ; the country, where the name of the immortal hero of Scotland. is cherished-with a peculiar regard.—.(Glasgow Paper.). Monday morning, at five o'clock, 25 convictti. , men and boys, were conveyed from Newgate in a caravan't,:. Portsmouth, in order to he transported to • Bermudas most of them for life. Their behaviour on quitting was very orderly ; , • • 'they expressed their thanks to 31r:WoN TNEK for his Itindriess. to them durifig confinement. • . The use of knives, as a weapon of injury,- has become alarmingly frequent; On Thursday weeks two careers happened to quarrel at the Canal when the one stabbed ' the other in the fleshy part of_ the thigh.' The same day a young fellow fastened a quarrel upon. his father-in-law, residing in Carrubber's-close, and finished the altercation by stabbing , though not dangerously, in the side. 'The offender is in custody ',lt would be well for persons of this turbulent disposition to reeet upon the recent extension of Lord. Ellenborough's Act to &.otland.-4 4isburgh Star.) •  I'
