THE MURDER NEAR STOKESLEY, IN 1830.  Thomas Grundy, the man committed as an accessory with Goldsbrough, charged as the principal in this revolting crime, terminated his existence by strangling himself soon after his being received at York Castle. A coroner's inquest was held on, the following day (Thursday week), when the jury returned a verdict that the deceased feloniously and wilfully destroyed himself, being at the time in a sound state of mind. The coroner then issued his warrant for the interment of the body between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock at night, within twenty-four hours after the finding of the verdict, in some churchyard or usual place, without Christian burial.  The deceased was interred the same night, about ten o'clock, in the cemetery. The murdered man, whose bones were found as before detailed, was a weaver, named Huntley, and resided at Eaglecliff, near Yarm ; in June, 1830, he received about £6O or £7O, bequeated to him, and which lie was known to have on his person the day of his mysterious disappearance. The discovery of the remains, and the circumstance of some buttons being found with them, which were recognised as similar to those worn by Huntley at the time of his disappearance, renewed the suspicions formerly entertained of his being murdered, and the magistrates in the division immediately took measures for unravelling.the mystery. Bills were put out, offering a reward of £lOO, with her majesty's free pardon to any person concerned in the murder, except the actual perpetrator, who should give evidence. The policeofficers used great vigilance in collecting all the facts that were at this distant period to be ascertained, and ultimately, the suicide, Grundy, then living at Hutton Rudby, made some important disclosures, which induced them to apprehend the prisoner, Robert Goldsbrough, who formerly resided in the neighbourhood, but left about 1832, when he went to Barnsley, at which place he has been located up to the present time. The substance of the disclosure made by Grundy is understood to be, that Goldsbrough employed him to go to a wood near Craythorne, where they found a sack containing a human body, which Goldsbrough told him was the body of Huntley, whom he had shot on the precedink day. Grundy became agitated and alarmed at this discovery, and, according to his own account, he ran away, leaving Goldsbrough with the body, within about a yard of the spot where it has so recently been found underground. That Huntley was murdered, and that the skeleton which is found is the remains of the unfortunate man, there can be no doubt; but the suicide of Grundy has, if possible, rendered the affair still more mysterious.  The prisoner Goldsbrough has made a statement, in which he asserts that on the Thursday previous to the Friday spoken of, Huntley came to him, and they went and sat down in Wearbank Wood. Huntley took out his money, and asked prisoner what was the reason Mr. Garbutt, of N arm, had not given him the whole of the money which he had belonging to him. Huntley was no scholar, and prisoner told him the reason : he then pressed witness to go to America with him, which he declined doing, as he had two children, whom lie thought it was his duty to support. He saw him again on Saturday, and he went to Stokesley with him. On the Thursday following he saw Huntley again : he pressed prisoner to go to America with him ; but he would not. Huntley sold his weaver's loom to George Garneby, and that night prisoner shook hands with Huntley, and never saw him more. The prisoner then declared his innocence, and had nothing more to say than that his life was sold.  WHAT'S IN A NAME ?—The New York papers talk of the 'auccesss of a Dr. Feuchtwanger in destroying vermin, an art which they call scolicotozzleology.  A piece of Egyptian antiquity has recently been brought to light. It is a grand tableau, or picture, discovered in the tombs of Beni Hassan, near Cairo, representing the arrival of Joseph's brethren in Egypt. Joseph, in the costume of an officer of State, appears in the act of presenting his brethren to a viceroy of the reigning sovereign, in whose tombs the tableau was found.
