CONTRACTED AND STIFF JOINTS.  withstand the  Extract of a Letter' from Mr. Joseph Rogerson, of the Pottery Fields, Huuslet, near Leeds.  :tee, and tried  APPREHENSION OF TILE WALWORTH  MURDERER,  The apprehension of William Abraham Moore, charged on the coroner's inquisition with the murder of his wife, was effected on Saturday, under singular circumstances. The murderer describes himself as a tailor, but it is well known that for some time past he has got his living in connection with a gang of begging-letter impostors, and also skittle-sharpers. The deceased, who is represented to have been a very pretty tvoman, was about twenty-five years of age, and the cause of the rash act on the part of the murderer is attributed to jealousy. The unhappy woman had only been married to the prisoner, who was a widower with two Children, about five months before the fatal occurrence, and assisted in the support of the family by hawking artificial flowers, and selling them principally to the servants at the gentlemen's houses, more especially in the neighbourhood of Walworth and Camberwell. The murderer, the deceased, and his two children resided at 22, Trafalgar. street, Walworth, and it will be recollected that on the morning of the 24th tilt., when the fatal occurrence happened, the landlady of the house in which they resided heard the murderer and his wife quarrelling, and shortly after screams were also heard in their apartment, simultaneously with which the murderer rushed from the house with only his coat and slippers on, followed by his w're, who was bleeding from the mouth, the hemorrhage frim the wound he had inflicted on her person in the course of their quarrel. The deceased,- who had fainted from the loss of blood, was immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where she lingered for a couple of days, and then died. At first the wound was not considered fatal, and, in consequence, her deposition was not taken by a magistrate ; but on the second day symptoms of a fatal character set in, of d she died in ten hours from their first appearance, during which time she was not in a fit state to make any statement As we have already stated, there is no doubt that the unfortunate woman lost her life fions a fit of jealousy on the part of her husband, who was devotedly fond of her, and has been known to watch her movements for days without any just grounds of suspicion. A few days before the murder she had spent the evening with some friends, where she met eart, who kissed her, and said she ought his wife instead of Bill's, meaning. her  ) have bec  husband.  This came to the husband's knowledge, and  theie can be no doubt was the immediate cause of the quarrel that resulted in her death. Immediately on the fatal circumstance becOming known to the police, they used every exertion to trace the murderer; and, although it was well known to them that he was secreted in Westminster no accurat  information could he obtained of his whereabouts, and be' successfully baffled all their endeavours to apprehend him. On the 11th instant, her Majesty's government offered a reward of £11:10 for his apprehension, and the chief commissioner of police placed the matter in the hands of Superintendent Whither, •of the Metropolitan Detective Police. • Nothing, however, was heard of the murderer till just before his apprehension, which took place under singular circumstances. It appears that a day or two back the murderer, who had disguised himself by shaving O'ff his whiskers and changing his style of dress by assuming the garb of a tinker with a leather apron, left Westminster with two men who travel about the country with a barrow, as grinders and tinkers, in the hope of eluding justice, the murderer collecting the jobs from the private houses, whilst his comrades did the work. About seven o'clock on Saturday evening, he was seen by a man named Carroll, who had some previous knowledge of him, with his comrades and the tinker's barrow, on Notting-hill. Carroll watched them for a short time, without exciting their suspicion. until they entered a public-house, when he made the best of his way to tl information.. A policeman. wa  ation, and gave  sent -with him, and They  apprehended the murderer without any resistance on his part, and about nine o'clock the-Same evening-he was lodged in the central police station, Carter-street, Walworth-road, preparatory to his examination before the magistrates at Lambeth. He does not attempt to disguise the committal of the act, He appears in a wretchedly dejected state of mind, and states that he has for some time past contemplated suicide. When searched at the station-house, a letter was found upon him, containing statements to the same effect.  ~-- The Herald. states that the Marquis of.Chandas will oppose Mr Gladstone on his coming re-election for the •University.  • It is with much regret we read of the death of Mr. W. 11. Warne, one of the partners in the extensive firm of Routledge, Warnes, and Co., of Farringdon-street, on the 20th ult. The activity,'energy, and sound judgment of Mr. Warne contributed in no slight degree to raise the house with which he was connected to its present eininence in the publishing world, while his kindness and urbanity will not be forgotten by those with whom he was brought into contact in the way of business. Mr. Warne died at the early age of 37, no less respected in public life than esteemed and regretted by his numerous private friends.
