CLARENDON.  We are really almost ashamed to follow step by step the ignominious narrative. Warr goes frantic and attempts to commit suicide. Banta& relates the fact (No. 26), states further instances of peremptory and positive refusal of an interview, and intimates that the commencement of the trial is as doubtful as ever. PARK, the father, follows this by a letter of agonising entreaty (No. 27), earnestly imploring Lord CLARENDON that something should be done. Then the god appears again. On the 29th of October (No. 29), Lord CLARENDON writes to Mr. BARBAR in these terms —" I hays " further to instruct you, if you are allowed to see PARK and WATT in compliance with the demand " you hays been ordered to make, to proceed to " Salerno, and to ask them most particularly about " the treatment they have received, and whether " they tare in say way been tortured or sisejoetod to " bodily pain or pureeing, and to tell thaw that the " Government has its eye upon them, and teal gad rare that no injustice is done them." We have heard of virtue in an "if ;" but we never knew before its full capacity for banner. This is about the meanest " if," we think, recorded in history. But the whole letter is inexpressibly base. What! A British Minister can quietly cause inquiries to be made whether two British subjects, whom he knows to be respectable, whom he firmly believes to be absolutely void of all offence, have been subjected to torture in the course of their unjust captivity. He can mock these poor men by instructing his agent to tell them " that " Government has its eye on them," though for nearly four months at that very time the "eye of Govern" meet," as that agent has repeatedly informed him, " has never been allowed to penetrate into their " dungeon." He can instruct a British Consul to assure British citizens that the British Government "will take care that no injustice is done them ;" and this in the same breath in which he directs them to be asked whether they have not been subject to bodily torture in their unwarrantable captivity. Is imprisonment without cause and ageing right no injustice? Is torture while undergoing such imprisonment no injustice? And yet can a British Minister have the face to tell two Englishmen whom he knows to have been wrongfully imprisoned, and suspects of having been tortured, that their Government will take care that no injustice is done them ? Surely it cannot be necessary to go terther. Surely, unless the ancient pride and spirit of Baglishroun is clean gone !be ever, we have said anasch, and more than enough, to show that Lard Ctrannzxim can never again be allowed to repronut, am Foreign Minister of this country, the Ma, jestr of England in presence of the nations of Earops.

SHOCKING MURDERS AND SUICIDE AT  LBRWICIC.  (From yesterday's Seotsmats.)  On Thursday morning last the inhabitants of Lerwick were appalled by the intelligence that Mr. Peter Williamson, for many years en influential and enttrpriatng merchant, proprietor, and farmer, had destroyed the lives of his wife, a son aged 14 years, • daughter aged 12, another aged four-and-a-half years, and that he had completed the terrible tragedy by committing suicide. The manner in which the unfortunate man accomplished his apparently determinal and premeditated purpose was by the use of • hammer or cleaver and razor, with the former of which he stems to have wormed his victims, and thereafter cut the throat of each, commencing, eats supposed, with his wife, and then killing his eldest girl, who was is bed unwell, sleeping with her mother. Leaving their apartment, he seems to have entered a room in which his youngest girl slept, and by the same dreadful process destroyed her. Proceediog thereafter to an upper room whtre be had slept the previous night with his two boys, be succeeded in killing the youngest; but the eldest, alter being severely cut about the throat and head, managed to escape and conceal himself in another mom. The unhappy man, having thus effected the destruction of his wife and children, appears to have returned to his wife's bedroom with his youngest girl's body, and there destroyed himself by cutting his throat in the most frightful manner. These shocking murders are supposed to have commenced about half-past five o'clock, while all the inmate■ were asleep, as shout half-an-hour after Mrs. Williamson was found still in life, although she died Immediately afterwards, her husband lying not far from her quite deed, and his youngest girl placed between hie knees with her head nearly severed from her body. Fortunately one of the family, a boy, was at the time alas log in the country with some friends, and thus escaped she general slaughter. The eldest son, about trixteen years of aim,who made hisescape from the murderous assault of his parent, although now lying in • very precarious condition, is thought likely to recover. It is stated that at a late hour on Wednesday evening Mr. Williamson transacted business with two or three comfier( ial gentlemen, none of whom observed anything unman! in his conduct. As he was understood to be in comfortable circumstance., no reason can be assigned for the perpetration of this fearful crime, although it is conjectured that hie mind had been aff,eted for some shun time past. The day for the interment of the bodies up to Monday last was not fixed, the authorities having been &Wrote. to make a searching investigation into the shocking occurrence.  002EA0E8 BF 413111Eradir

The principal questions they would have to determine were—first, whether Sir Henry Me= was ' at present el unsound mind ; of that he thought they would have so difficulty In determining ; secondly, they would lay when he became unsound, and whether it vu continuous, and if they should be of opinion that it was not continuous, and that at any time he recovered his intellectual faculties, they would mark the period when he so recovered, and when he returned into his former state of unsoundness. Their .1 verdict must be the unanimous finding of twelve of them ; • verdict of a lesser number he could not receive. They bad all the facts before them, and they would therefore say whether Sir Henry Idea: was at present in an unsound state el mind, and from what particular day, and whether continuously or not P The jury then retired, end after deliberating an hour and a half, they came into court. The Commissioner asked them whether they were agreed se to the present state of mind of Sir Henry Mena f —The foesman maid they were unanimous in Huffing that he was now Of unsound mind.
