TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER.  M AY 1 7  exceeding troublesome and even dangerous, that it was riot deemed advisable to send him to Newgate in the Ili:inner intended. We heard with pain, repeated shouts of applause from the ignorant or &prayed part of the crowd, as if they were hailing some oppressed but innocent . . victim; sonic of whom even mixed with their shouts, the cry of " Burdett tor ever!" and attempted to open the other side of the coach, as ifty _ to give the murderer an opportunity of es ape. A par f I sa mires arrived about this time, and formed a errlaircle in lower Palace—yard, by which the mob were kept more et d'stance. It was, however, thought more prudent to send him away by another outlet, and to avoid all confusion. He was therefore taken out of the speaker's entrance, and conveyed to elesvgate. His name is Bellingham. He has hero esigaged in mercantile concerns at Liverpool, and was receganized by G eiesrals Tarleton and Gascoigne, the meneoers for that place. He is about five feet nine or ten inches in height, with rather a thin visage, a nose somewhat aqualine, and of genteel appearance. He has beenn-cit good deal about the House of Commons during these few weeks, a dined several tunes in _the coffee-room. He preserved, during the proceedings, an air perfectly calm, and the appearance of um under no sort of agitation, but who had deliberately and fully made up his mind to the atrocious act he had committed, and the awful consequences that would ensue to himself. He had lodgings in New Millman-street, near the Foundling Hospital. His landlady, who is a young widow, with a family, stated, tide he had been very serviceable to her in the recovery of a child of her's, which had been missing, and that he had taken her in the morning to see the European Museum. He used to complain to her of money due to him, which he was wronged of, and without getting which, he must be a ruined man. It is said that he has a wife and three children. Several circumstances are stated relative to expressions used by him recently: among others, one, respecting some allusions lately made by Mr. Perceval to secret assassination, on which he is said to have observed, that Mr. Perceval should not have that to say for nothing. Various stories are retailed, of his having given frequent proofs of temporary derangement. He was, we understand, engaged some years ago in commercial speculations in Russia ; and made certain demands, for compensation, on Government, which were not acceded to. He is said to have complained of the conduct of Government, and of our then An:bassi:dor at St. Petersburgh; and to have recently reiterated his complaints, without being able to impress a con- . viction of their justice. The body of Mr. Perceval was removed from the Speaker's House during Monday night, to his own in Downing-street ; and on Tuesday morning, at eleven o'clock, a most respectable jury was summoned to attend A. Gell, Esq. Coroner for Westminster, at the Reuse of Francis Dukes, the sign ot the Rose and Crown, in Downing-street. After taking a view of the body, the following witnesses were examine:l: I ieut.eGeneral Gascoigue' Member for Liverpool; J. Hume, lee. Member for Weymouth ; H. Burgess, Esq attorney, of Curzon-street; and W. Lynn, Esq. Surgeon. Their evidence was to the same eftect as the testimony given at the trial at the Old Bailey, and the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder.
