FRIGHTFUL MURDER.—At Marienwerder, in Spain, sentence of death has just been pronounced on a woman named Lempeck, for the murder of her step-daughter, a child five years of age. She deliberately buried her alive, thongh, as she says in her confession, "she resisted and shrieked dreadfully." She tied the childs bands behind her, forced her into a hole, and covered her with the earth, even after she heard the stifled cries of the victim. She told the neighbours the child had been sent to some relations. Neither on the trial nor in her confession did the woman exhibit any signs of derangement.  Lord Gough arrived in Dublin on Friday. A public thanksgiving has been ordered by the Popish Archbishop in Dublin, for the Pope's return to Rome. The manufacturing operatives at Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds, Halifax, and other places, have warmly protested against any compromise of the ten hours' bill, not even to ten hours and a half, as last suggested.  The cholera has made its appearance at— Castiecomer, Kilkenny, where three fatal cases have occurred ; and at a place called Bagenelstown, in the adjoining county of Carlow, where two persons have died. The Times of yesterday holds out a hope that Sir Charles Woad intends to repeal the window tax as early as possible. Her Majesty has granted a free pardon to Thomas Glenny, convicted at the late assizes for Surrey, at Kingston, for the murder of his illegitimate child.  The Bishop of Clogher (Lord Robert Tottenham) is seriously indisposed. There seems little hope of his recovery. Clogher is the last of the suppressed bishopricks, and its revenues, amounting to £13,000 a-year, go to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. A thief, while endeavouring to escape from a window at the Ship Inn, Brighton, on Friday night week, fell to the ground, a distance of twenty feet. He was fouud next morning lying under the window almost dead, with a bundle of the landlord's bedding under his arm. He died in three hours. A conditional order for a mandamus requiring the Town Council of Dublin to proceed to the election of a Lord Mayor in the place of Mr. John Reynolds, whose name has been struck off the Burgess Roll, has been granted by the Court of Queen's Bench at Dublin. In the Bail-court on Saturday, a rule for a criminal information was applied for against the Times, on the part of Mr. Nash, a parliamentary agent. The complaint was that the report of some proceedings as given in that journal, in which Mr. Nash appeared before the House of Lords in an Irish rahway, incorrectly implied that that gentleman had been guilty of forgery. He also complained of its being said that he was " brought to the bar" of the House, as implying that he was on a criminal charge. The court declined to grant the rule. The Times, in an article disfigured by a pun upon " Lord Campbell's Miss-Sellon-ies," congratulates the church upon the decision in the Queen's Bench, on Thursday, by which "the authority of the existing Courts of Appeal is placed beyond further dispute,"—but at the same time, admitting by implication the unfitness of the tribunal, suggests that "the church m. y now demand," and "the legislature may now if it think fit, sanction, a change in the supreme jurisdiction."
