THE MURDERER RUSH.  A Norwich correspondent supplies a probable reason why Hush, after ho had shot Mr. Jermy, sen., went round b) the servants' door and risked detection b) passing along their passages. He says, "It is explained by the fact that in a box in a closet at the end of the passage leading to the staircase hall Mr. Jermy kept his papers and the mortgage deeds relating to Potash-farm, and thst Rush's intention was doubtless to secure those deeds at t.ll hex trds, for, according to the forged documents cancelling the mortgage, all the deeds and papers of a prior date relating to Potash-farm were to be burned. Young Mr. Jermy just reached the door opening into the recess when Rush reached it, and therefore Rush fired at him. After shooting young Mr. Jermy be very likely went into the dining-room to shoot any person there, and thus to prevent the possibility of his being interrupted while he was employed in securing the deeds. The two women ran to the same recess, and further prevented his purpose being carried out ; and when he came out of the dining•room he fired a: them, doubtless with the view of escaping detection." A correspondent of the Bury Post says:—" As everything appertaining to the Stunfield•hall tragedy appears still to be full of interest to the public, perhaps the follow. ing particulars of the unfortuate but not to be despised Miss Sandford, will be acceptable to your readers, and may also act as a salutary caution to those who may have any young friend seeking her livelihood as a go verness—a class greatly to be pitied. They also tend to show the extent—the intricate ramifications of the assassin's complicated scheme of villany. Rush, as before stated, put an advertisement in the paper for a governess for his children. Mrs. Sandford, the mother of ten children, seeing this, took her eldest daughter to the reference in the advertisement, a very respectable house in a good street in town, where they found Mr. Rush, occupying the first floor. The landlady had been induced to represent that she knew Mr. Ru,l3, and spoke of him as a worthy kind of man; and after various inquiries and witnessing her handwriting the daughter was engaged to go down to Norfolk to educate Rush's children. Some months after having been there she was rather surprised at receiving no letters from her mother, and the latter was equally so at receiving no replies from her daughter. During this state of things Rush, when in town, called upon Mrs. Sandford, who very naturally expressed surprise at not having heard from her daughter, where-upon Rush said ho believed the fact was she was become engaged to a Mr. James, a commercial traveller, but for some reasons she thought it would be a match her mother would not altogether approve, and there fore preferred not writing at all to her. The fact no doubt was, Rush had intercepted these letters both ways, and thus caused an estrangement be. tween her and her friends, to facilitate his own purposes and her ruin. She now felt her dependence upon Rush, and in the simplicity and confidence of her nature, and her ignorance of the world and its snares, soon became first his victim and then his instrument. He subsequently compelled her to write to her friends in such a way as to repel any attempt on their part to interfere in her welfare. So late as ten day before the murder Rush again called upon Mrs. Sandford, and told her her daughter was married, and had been in France for six months with her husband, Mr. James. The inference of all this is evident. It would have accounted for her disappearance, had such taken place, of which there is little doubt in the minds of those intimately acquainted with the minutiae of attendant circumstacces." —Twelve o'clock to-morrow is the time fixed for the execution of Rush.
