BRUTAL MURDER NEAR LUTON, BEDEORDBHIRI. The huliabitanta of this usually quiet town were on Tuesday greatly shocked by the intelligence that a murder of lei ordinary atncity had been committed in broad daylight on a public footpath near the ruins of tinmineries Castle, about one mile from the town. The facts appear to be that the unfortunate victim was the wife of George Castle, who yrevious to the murder had been workiiig in a malting at Ware. In consequence of a domestic qnarrel on the previous day she left her husband and went for protection to her parents, who reside at Luton. The husbend followed, and, being denied access to bin wife, would seem to have then decided on his deadly revenge. On the following muniing, having provided himself with a knife, and his mother-in-law being obliged to have home, be got into the house and perguaded his wife to return with hint to Ware, for which place they left; but in about two hours afterwards her dead body was found by the roadside with the throat fearfully cut, the ground bearing marks of a desperate struggle having taken !due. Information was immediately given to the police officers at Luton, who at once instituted an active pursuit, in which they were greatly assisted by several gentlemen of the neighbourhood. After a Wag search the prisoner was traced going through leveret woods to It elwyn, where lie gave himself into custody a few minutes before the arrival of the Luton inspector of police. The unfortunate deceased was only 21 years of age, and was married only six months since at Luton, where her body now lies. MR. RARKT AND CRUIREIL —Mr. Korey, in answer to the charge that he has failed in totally subduing the vicious propensities of the notorious Cruiser, says :—" I have had Cruiser under nay charge for nearly 18 months and he had never once committed himself until Friday. I was not present at the time, but the following are the real facts of thecae,. The Suffolk savage, Cretingliam Hero, had recently arrived, and was put into a box in the same stable with the King of Gude and Cruiser. The grooni of the latter, from a desire to show off his horse to his new acquaintance, took him out of his box into the riding school, and had made bins carry his cap. 1 After shaking hands with him he was proceeding ' to enforce upon him the disagreeable request of lying down, when the horse, who was worked up by the smell and challenges of the others, seised and severely bit his arm, but did not kneel upon him, or inflict any other injury, and at first the groom believed that his shirt had only been torn. He was not 'attempting to insert into his mouth the heavy wooden gag' (a were exaggerated description of a wooden bit), which, in fact the horse hardly ever wears, except when he is dressed, in order to try and make him utterly forget his old biting habit'. I neither profess to have the power of cootrolling the jaws of a savage by m system when not in his preeence, nor to crush the • rit of horses so oom, pletely that they will be placed under such twofold i awavation. No one can recyst the circumstance more , than I do, or feel more thsskful that deeper mischief did not easue."
