JOHN G. 11.ALLINUA*L.  "Eight miles west of Lundy. April Bth, 1862 "At nine this mit ning, about two hours after the pilot left, the seaman William Wolff, whom I mention in my other letter, as having disappeared, came on deck, after being about a hours stowed away amongst the coals, and declared him Self the murderer of a boarding house master, in Ratcliffe Highway. London, about thri e week, ago. He says his conscience would not let hint stop below any longer, as ho is under the impression that a young man of the name of Henry Watson is in custody for the murder. The pilot boat was still in sight. and I hoisted the ,ignal, and brought her alTngside. The pilot lefioes to take hint on shore, so I will proceed on the voyage as the wind is from the east."  Tea Roynov Hatt Iffeansii.—A fresh clue to the murderers of the gamekeeper, James Gray, on the ' Revd.:in Hall estate, Kent, has, it is believed, been found ' by the police. The crime was perpetrated 80 long ago as January last, and at that time siveral men supposed : to belong to the gang of poachers who took the life of Gray were apprehended, but after one or two examinations before the magistrates w 1..) discharged, owing to the insufficiency of the evidence. A reward , f £lOO has caused enquiries to be continued with unabated vigilance, and at length a second apprehension of suspected men has been made. Their names are Stephen Eversfield and Alfred Burr Tuck, labourers, residing in the vicinity of Hoyden Hall. Eversfield is a returned convict, and against him the strongest suspicion seems to exist. Wood, a keeper present during the affray, identifies him as one of the poachers engaged in it. A gun, found near ! the scene of the encounter, has also been traced to ! Everstield's ownership a short time before tho murder, sod his account of the manner in which it passed front Ihis possession does not appear to be satisfactory. A personal resemblance of Tuck to John Honey, the man in custody in January charged with being the person who fired the fatal shot, is at present the chief ground of , suspicion against the former. The same keeper who identified Honey has now given evidenct of a similar ' character against Tuck, and it is thought there may be some justification for the transfer of the man's testimony, the striking resemblance of the two having in the former instance led him into an error of judgment. Both the prisoners stand remanded, and it is said more conclusive testimony is in the possession of the police.. Mr. Frith's great picture of " The Railway Station," which has been purchased by Mr. Flatou, the picture-dealer, for 8 700 guinras, is at length completed, , and is now being exhibited to the public in London. An inquest was held at Shoreditch, en Mary Evans, who had seen better days, and whose death was acelerated by ill-usage from her daughter, a fearful woman who in the course said I was so drunk that day and the next that I did not know my mother was dead. I was not aware that I was hugging a living body (Sensation.) That was no sin, I hope. At all events I cannot be hanged for that. I always did my duty by her, but I had not much means, so I could not let her live as she liked." The medical testimony stated that there were no marks of violence, but every proof of severe deprivation, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with tho medical testimony, and expressed thtir indignation at the unnatural and unfeeling con. ; duet et dooased'e ,laughter.
