LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.  James Clitheroe, the culprit in this remarkable Gnu, suffered death this day in frost of the Kirk&le pd. mar Liverpool, though aorta had been made to mute • reprieve.  The circumstamme in connexion with the cane are of a somewhat peculiar description. Clitheroe was a married man, with a family ; but hie affections appear to have been divided between his wife and Mary Woods, • poor paralytic woman, who earned • living by keeping a school and miffing small beer. The prisoner was in the habit of sharing the miudsred woman's bed, and, as his neighbours knew of this, be was twitted by them in the intensely acrimonious meaner pinniliar to vulgar and uneducated people as to "the poor cripple, Mary Woods," being enceinte by him. This seems to have annoyed Clitheroe very mach, and his mortification and chagrin acting upon • morbid temperament, prompted him to murder. On the night of the 28th December last he visited Mary Woods' house, and went to bed with her as was his wont, but early next morning he out her throat and hie own too, though the wound was only fatal in the ore of the woman. Later in the morning the schoolchildren  were unable to gain admision to the house as usual, and as no one answered the door after repeated knocks, as entrance was effected at the rear of the premises and an lavestiption took place. In an upstairs room the police found Mary Woods and the prisoner in bed together—the woman quite dead, and with her throat cat, and the man in an exhausted condition with his throat cut also. The blood upon the woman's throat was dry, and she had widest* been deed foe seved hours, whereas the blood upon Clitberoe wee fresh, and his wound must have been recently inflicted, because the blood we. flowing freely from the arteries of the neck when the police entered. The prisoner, when asked what be bed been doing stated that he and Nary Woods had agreed to eat their throats, saying, "We made it up to oat oar throats. She told so that the razor was in the drawer under the looking glass. I fetched the canoe, got into bed, and first cut my own throat." The prisoner never deviated from the account of the transaction either before or after the trial, but it must have been untrue in point of fact, because the strong and irresistible probability is that the women's threat was cut at 5 o'clock in the morning, when she was heard by a neighbour calling out, " Oh, don't !" and that Ms ma dead several hours before the primmer made the attempt upon his own life. When the prisoner wee on hie trial, Mr. Justice Willes directed the jury that if the prisoner columned, assisted, or directed the woman to destroy herself, be was guilty of murder.  At his execution this awning the wretched culprit struggled hard. He persisted is his suicide story to the last. The crowd was Dot so peat as usual. Calash was the executioner.  111. 10 115 U 47,000 10 10,000' 5 6,005 50 554,7801 00 916 50,8,000, 101111 16.000, 40,000 10 60,000 00 50,000 60 40,000 100 10,000 26 10,000 60 10010151 Bt. 140,110X.1 177,0001.1 10.000 100 KM; 10 100.000 10 rum ei. yOOOO  °Milani&  Aagie4laden Mat bialirelkia dadadidattrita Berlin Waterworks leaday Gee ewe Lark= Lad Ft 41.
