At the Central Criminal Court, on Monday, the Recorder in remarking to the grand jury on the number of cases in the calendar involving the loss of human life, and the most serione among them was that of William Lowe, who was charged with the wilful murder of woman with whom he cohabited. The parties were at • public place of amusement at North Woolwich, when the prisoner being exasperated at the womdn's dancing with another man, after threatening to do her a serious Injury, thrust the point of an umbrella into her eye, causing an injury to the brain which resulted in death. It would be best perhaps for the Grand Jury to return a true bill for murder, leaving it to be seen whether there were any circumstances reducing it to a minor offence.
