YORK-iHIRE SPiaNG A6SIZES.  'York, dday afternoon. Tn-df y the trial of prisoners for the City of York, and for the North and East Ridings of the county, have commenced, and the county calendar is remarkable for tip number of eases which have been sent from the borough of Middlesbrough, aud the police districts of Langbaugh North au' Lanbaugh Fast. The only,case in the city was one in which Robert Parker, of Stockton, who was married to a midwife of that town, at the Register Office, in 1834, had taken to himself another wife at a York Churzhon the Mk Feb. hot. ,Enrowte for York there was a large turn-out of. policemen and witnesses at Thirsk Junction, the most conspicuoua being Inspector Robson, of North Orniesby, who has some 16 or 17 witnesses in hand for the Moyle forgery case. The precise charge against Mr Moyle is that of forgery and uttering certain scrip certificates and an impression of a seal, purporting to be of the firm of Jackson, Gill, and Ceinpauy (limited); also forging a certain deed, purporting to be a transfer of 220 shares of and in the firm of Jackson, Gill, and Company (limited); also forging the signature of Edward Sticklv White; and also forging a certairt letter, dated 16th December, 1312, statixotting to be a letter written by one E.. S. White, with intent to defraud, at the township of _Norrnanby, in the North Riding. He was committed for 'trial by Messrs W. R. J. Hopkins and H. Cochrane, and ij described in the calendar as being 38 years old,and of superior education. Sergeant Bowser, of Redcar, a witness in the Pickering murder charge, was there ; as also was Sergeant Temple, of Middlesbrough, with half-a-dozen boys for the Industrial School. The little fellows seemed to have been better cared for on leaving home than when there previous to this committal, for they were all carrying cakes and oranges, and one of them was able to produce a silver sixpence. The Rev. J. R Bealey, vicar of Middlesbrough, with several local gentlemen, was also on the platform, proceeding to York to give evidence in behalf of the Rev. V, H. Moyle, whose defence is in the hands of Mr Timothy Crosby, of Stockton. From a well informed quarter, it is stated that a further forgery by the Rev. Gentleman has been discovered in connection with Eston schools, he having forged the name of Mr Ralph Outred, auditor of the accounts, to a return by HAMM of which he has swindled the Education Department out of £2OO. Four witnesses have also been subpoaned against him to prove the forgery of the South Durham Iron Company's shares. Against this overwhelming string of mimes, it seems to be useless to contend, and we have very good reasons :or saying that Mr Moyle will plead guilty, after which counsel (probably Mr Digby Seymour) will address the judge in mitigation of the punishment, present petitions from the Church people of Coatham, Redear, Estoia, North Ormeebv, and other places, and then call witnesses as to Mr Mo)le's good moral character.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF TIIE BOROUGH  TILE MURDEROUS OUTRAGE AT MIDDL ESBRO UGH. Mun sensation_ and excitement nas been caused by the cool-blooded murder of Patrick M•Partlin—an Irishman well-known in the Irish circles of Middlesbrough and district— on the 31st ult. Never in the annals of Middlesbrough has such a mysterious outrage been known to occur within its boundaries, and seldom, if ever, has its equal been recorded in any of the most' " murderous" districts of the eountry. As lris already been reported in the Gazette, the unfortunate man M`Partlin was walking leisurely along one of the most feefrequented streets of the town, about the busiest time on the busiest night in the week, in company with a friend, when he suddenly re ceived a tremendous blew on the head with a " life 'reserver," which in this case, however, proved to be a life "Aestroyer," for the poor fellow died from the effects of the blow early on the following morning. At the time MiPartlin was felled to the ground a man named Fla.nnighan bent over the prostrate form with the deadly weapon in his hand, saying, "This is the thing that has done it," and also added that the man who had dealt out the blow bad gone down the street, but no such man was pointed out, or, in fact seen by any person in •the street Suspicion naturally enough fell upon Flannighan, who, however, denied having committed the off,nce, but stated that "he knew the man who did it, and he could identify him if he az,ain saw him." Nevertheless, Flaxnighan was taken into custody, and brought .efore the Mayor of Middlesbrough and Bench of tuagistrates, on " suspicion " of the wilful murder of NlTaxtlin, but, strange to say, not single witness could be proluced to show that the alleged murderer really committed the crime. This is the most remarkable and -astounding circumstance of the case. How two men could walk along a thronged street, and one of them bo suddenly knocked down from the others side, withont a single individual seeing thea person who dealt the fatal blow, is very mysterious. It is quite evi dent that the affair was wilful and premeditated, and it is to be deplored that evidence, up to the present, has not been forthcoming to show or convict the guilty person. It is nothing to na whether any difference had previously existed between the murderer and his victim; the fact that the latter was killed has been clearly established, and every means possible should be resorted to in order to find out the offender, and punish him accordingly. It the resumed hearing of the case against Flannighan on Monday, as no conclusive efflidence could be produced, the prosecution were unable to advance the case a single stage, and the prisoner was merely remanded till next Tuesday. The Bench entertained a suspicion that the prisoner was either the man or an accomplice. In the meantime the strictest inquiries are being made by the police officials. The magistrates suggested that a reward should be offered in the case, and upon this suggestion their clerk (Mr Belk)

MOW. There was a great deal of blood -op, Brown, particularly on his left arm. There was more blood on the left hand than on the right. By the Jury: The Woo I on the knife when I found it was quite fresh. When I went in to the house, Brown's wife was downstairs. When Welch cried out she rushed upstairs. She was so frantic that she pulled Welch's collar off. By the Coroner: After Inspector Thorpe esawe Into the room I went for some brandy, I got a hug's worth. It was not all given to him. After he had taken the brandy he said. "Oh. George, Lain sorry my knife wasn't sharpened, I tried three times and I couldn't do it, far I know I ahsU have to suffer for it."  Susannah Carter said: lam the wife of John Carter a paddler, living in Middlesbrough, I saw Brown for the first time on Tuesday Wit. On Friday last I saw him in Doody's, No. 9, Henry. street, which is next door to:Onions' house. Shortly after I went in, he said he had come t vice for his wife, and his mother-in-law would no let her go and live with him. He said he did not care if be could not get his child, he would kill it; he would cut its throat, and then cut his own, and they would both die together. He was drunk, and I told him they were very harsh words and he elyould not say so. He did not say anything else. and' I then left. By a Juror: I did not hear any difference between Brown and his wife or her friends. They were not there at the time. _ _  Robert Thorpe, of Middkebrough, Inspector of Police, said: On Sunday morning last, about ten minutes to twelve, I was on duty in North-street. I . met the witness Onions in the street. sadiron' Mist he told me about a murder I went with hint to Henry-street, to his house. On going upstairs I found Brown lying on a bed on his left aide, near the wall, with his back to it; and the child was laid close beside his left arm. I took hold of the child, and drew it a little bit out, and found its throat was cut and it dead. Brown asked, far a drink. I took him by the head and lifted hies up, and gave him a dri.ik of water. I then saw that his throat was cut. I then sent Hampshire Weenie brandy. Brown turned over to look at the child, and said, "It is a bad job, I have killed the child. I shall have to suffer for it. / wish the knife bad been 'harper. I tried three times to out my own throat. Just before that I sent a sergeant for a doctor, and Dr. Mallcolmson came first. Dr. Dickinson came afterwards. The doctor examined Brown, and said I might give him about a tohleepootiful of brandy in water. I gave it to him twice. After taking it, he made the same statement he made before. Hampshire Was than present. After washing him, we had him removed to the Infirmary, where he now is. On the way to the

At the Lancnester Petty Sessions, on Thursday, Charles Thompson was again brought up on remand, charged with the murder of Ann Johnson, at iAnn. field Plain, on the 4th of October. A large crowd assembled at the court-house, and great interest was manifested in the hearing of the case. Edward John. son, Mary Ann Hall, and. Mary Ann Parker having repeated the evidence they bad given before the Coroner, Ann Thompson, wife of Alexander Thompson, pitman, Diptoti, gated that on Saturday night, the 4th of October; pris-01bf Came to their house and asked where his htfithiii- *as. He was not in. Prisoner was in his Shirt,aleaves, but had on a waistcoat. There was no due hi the house but herself when he came, and as ' she watt 'afraid of him she went out. In the house he pht off both his white and his woollen shirt. He throgliia iscAtollen shirt upon a chair at the bedside, and put the ,white shift on The woollen shirt lay on the chair tid morning, when she rapped it up and put it into the drawer. Subsequently the policeman asked for it, and she gave it to him. It was after tainn!o'clock at night when prisoner came in. He ?lightened her Bo that she thought he was a lunatic, and she went to the door, where she fainted. He seemed very excited and wild. When she came to her senses there were several people in the house.— Margaret Cain, wife of George Cain, Dipton, had been called Mrs Thompson's house by Mrs NeWy. She saw prisoner throw his shirt off, and heard him say, "Yon b—s, I took the razor and cut her throat."—Mrs Sarah Neil, wife of George Neil, pitmen, oorroborated the evidence of the last witness.—At this stage of the proceedings the wart adjourned. The prisoner, William Thompson who is charged with the murder of Jane Johnson at the above place on the 41h of Oct. last, was brought up on Friday, at the adjourned sitting of the Lancheater Petty Sessions, for the purpose of completing the depositions of the various witnesses.— The whole of the depositions having been completed, he was asked, after being cautioned in the usual way, whether or not he wished to make any statement, in answer to which he said, "I have something to say. A fortnight to-morrow we went went into Richardson's public-house in Newcastle. She went out with a man, and left me sitting for half an hour, and then I went out to see if she was coming. I 'saw her, but there was no man with her. We came home, and the old man went out for a quart of ale at night, and I told her after her father went out about being w th this man. She told me I had nothing to do with who she went with. I laid my head upon my arms on the table, and when I lilted up my head she had the r-..zor hi her hand. I made a run after her on her going to the door. I struck her on the head with my " neaf " (fiat). She ran about two yards, and I then saw blood streaming down, but I never saw the nizor except when I lifted my head off the table; that was the only time I saw it. I then ran off to my brother's.

THE THAMES DIIIRDEII.  _ There is yet no certainty (says the Times) that the police are on the track of the murderer in this mysterious case. There are not wanting applications to view the remains or the pictures of them. With great patience the officers have followed out the story of each missing woman who was reported to them in good faith as appearing as the deceased is supposed to have looked, and it is a mournful point for reflection that the accounts of this woman bring missing have shown that there are many missing from homes and friends. The trouble taken in these inquiries has been immense, and for the obvious reason that it is most important to establish the identity of the deceased. In one instance friends come to inquire about a servant missing from St. John's Wood, age given being 35, " but looked 42," and the whole machinery of the police is ..oet going to discover the whereabouts of this persoh. in another a man has missed his sisterin-law, who is not to be heard of, then is third, fourth, and fifth—to almost any number,-and in all relations of life ; but, in the hope of obtaining a right clue, the officers engaged have not neglected any items of information, no matter who slight they have appeared. In one particular they have shown praiseworthy caution; they have not adopted any hasty view, and steps have been taken to guard against a charge being made which cement be clearly supported, do that, at all events, the pudic may be kept from snob exhibitions, as those in the Great Curam-street affair, by the charges being made against persors whose innocence must have been obvious, on the evidence of the prosecution, to all unprejudiced minds. Legal opinion has been taken as to what can and what cannot be proved in the matter of identity, and this may be useful, especially as there have been many medicaleexaminationa of the remains, and doctors do sometimes agree to differ. This legal examination of the body shows that every pains is being taken to give justice a tight hold of any one against whom there can be brought something stronger than suspicion. There is a new 'theory," and it is worth mentioning for the sake of its novelty. It certainly savours strongly of the Poe school ideas, but it is not wanting in force. Given shortly, it Is an association of the escaped criminal lunatics irate Broadmoor Asylum—men, it will be remembered, of murderous propensities—with the outrages of /ate upon life in the west. It is said that Bisgrove is thonght to be at Staines or its neighbourhood, and there are not wanting those who have pictured the possibility of hiding among the islands of Battersea Park, and thus securing a place remote from observation for the preparation of a crime which required strength of body, the deepest cunning, and a brutal disregard of all human feeling.  _ TH E TICIEBORN B rain- 7-Eiarrit

THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT SOUT SHIELDS —THE PRISONERS BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. John McCarty .(61), scullerman, Robert McCarty (15), and Catherine Heron (32), father, son, and daughter, were on Saturday morning brought before Aid. James, at the South Shields Police Court, charged with having caused the death of Henry O'Hare. The two male prisoners reside in West Holborn, South Shields, and the female prisoner at the Fauld, near Harton Colliery. Mr Supt. Richardson, having briefly opened the case, called Annie Yates, neice of Mr Jos. Gray, publican, West Holborn. She deposed that, on Thursday night., about ten minutes to eleven o'clock, she went to the backyard of the house, and when she got upon the step she saw a man lying upon the ground. She and a man named John Davie looked at the man, whom she believed to be dead. John Davis, a seaman, residing at 21, Pan-plate, deposed to being called by Mr Gray, and going into the backyard, where they found a man lying. He felt the man's pulse, and put his hand to his heart, but could find no signs of life. Catherine Duffy said that she went to the workhouse on Friday morning, and identified the body as-that of Henry O'Hare, her brother. Mary McGinn, living at Jacob's Ladder, stated that on Thursday night, between nine and ten o'clock, she heard a disturbance in the passage beneath, and, Mrs Townsend saying, "Father, there is a man in my bed, come and take him out." Mrs Townsend also said, "Kitty, don't strike the man, for be is bleeding." She heard a voice, which she thought was that of the boy, saying "Pull him out," which was repeated two or three times. She, however, did not see the boy. She heard nothing more for two or three minutes, when she heard some scuffling in the passage. She heard John McCarty say, "That is one from bold McCarty." She also hear I a female voice, which she thought was that of Catherine Heron, saying, "Pull him out, he won't make a prostitute of my sister." She was not sure that it was Catherine Heron who  (From the age elotjuence . even a little • the franchise, witness who Committee on iich did not d alleged that as literary blow, harder ;  epigram* by direct den , would call his blacksmith would ith weaning the tial Le of the hustings ; that )he liking,for " ng strdnger, and that ' been intensified b, 'on can't shy rotten , isposition increases to nothing but, the equival, we canuot otherwise !g violence of some we I and encouraged by the a man, for instance,' gentleman, and a Man A a man like Mr James a '  nothing  • ' DISRAELI'S LETTER Spoctiftor). lee should tend vulgar., otter .1 was port appease*, = , cheap MintrOto deserve to. be nd wedesoendiii t to do eitheTibc that to Gal n as is usahleer denunciation; tir opponent sl call him a same think whenever t ar " shotted tat the dash by one opegra eggs at km to use phi ivalent aim rise acconr recent Spa the leader like Sir with a 11 1, In,

MURDERS OF SICK PEOPLE IN INDIA. During the incumbency of Cecil Beadon (the Frieiidoflrsdie of the 22nd May says) an attempt was made to regulate the practice of taking sick people td the river-side to die; but nothing was done then, as the Government of India and the Secretary of State did not consider any interference in this matter necessary, although the more advanced section of the native community threw their opinion into the scale with the Lieutenant-Governor. That some regulations are absolutely necessary will be seen from these facts—" On the Thursday before last, at about five o'clock in the afternoon, a procession was observed passing through a station not far from Calcutta, accompanied by the usual din and noise. At the head of the procession was a man about six feet high carried on a litter four feat long, in much the same way as the bed of Procrustea in the olden time was niade to accommodate its victims of any stature. At first the occupant of the stretcher was taken for a corpse, but on closer examination it was discovered to be a human being in the last stage cf physical prostration. The Lead was dangling over rue End of the stretcher, and the face exposed to the full glare of the sun which the dying man attempted to keep off by shAing it with his right hand. 'I his was observed by his son in the cared, who opened an umbrella and held it over him. The procession stopped at a ghat opposite the station public library, and the stretcher with its ghastly burdeu wee lei' on the ground. The sick nt,n expressed a wish for something to drink, and a cnn of milk was held to his lips he then had a smoke, and conversed freely in the meanwhile with his friends who had followed him. A miserable looking stud shabbily attired native, who was addressed as the Kober,j Mol.ashai, held the pulse of the sick man with a gravity of circumstance worthy of a disciple of Galen. To cat the matter short, the sick man was kept at the ghat till the Saturday following, and as he still persisted in dissapneinting his friends and relatives in their expectation of seeing him depart this life, he was removed to another ghat a little higher up the riser, where he was kept for a time immersed in water, with the head and a portion of the chest above it, till he expired in this position. The deceased was a man of the weaver caste and of some prospects. lie had removed to this station some years back from Demi, where a porticn of his family are still residing. Another ghat murder took place about two or three weeks ago. In this Case the victim was a woman, the wife. of a respectahle shopkeeper.  According to the Ororille (California) lisfereury several deaths l'ave peen caused in that State recently by the adoption of green flannel for lining the gum Loots worn by gravel miners; the dye of the flannel has been found to be arsenicated.
