REMARKABLE CASE OF CIR- CUMS I‘AN'l‘lAL EVIDENCE IN ENGLAND. The English papers contain a report of the recent trial otayouiig man named John Isaac Jones, an attorney ’s along for the Willlll murder of Harriet Linker, at Lndbury, on the 17th of May, 1859. t he deceased, an elderly woman, had the care (ifâ€"the premises of theieniployer 0f the accused at night, and was found on the morning of the 18th of May, dead upon the door of her room, having appar- ently been strangled to death .

At that time there was nothing upon the table of deceased, but the next morning there were glasses there one of which contained. gin and water. the prisoner had recently bought some girl and was seen at ten o clock ut the preâ€" vious night going towards the office. t be next morning the accused got. up. unusually early dothâ€"Went out.

Who has no! road with thrilling litter-est the debates, speeches and lectures that were giren duringthc sh rzny pcriod of the passing of the Ci.t‘iolic l‘lmiincipation Act in Great Britain. Of that not we ap- proved, as we hold that man’s reli- gioi is an affair between hiniseli‘ and his Maki r; and never should he :ufer rials. di‘alilitits on ur- eount of religiK-us belief: but if we Catholic Emancipation gave as their most powerful argument the following: “ That a Roman Callio- lc was body and Soul devoted to thePapacy, a id as such.could ne.ei be a loyal subject? that his allegir ance to the Pope was more sacred than his oath to his Queenâ€"that Popery l l was something more than a religious system; in fine, that a Papist’s! religion and politics all merged in one grand idea, “ .Mnrr» Power lo the Papal! that. this vas the beginning and the end ofhis re- ligion and politics. We must say, that till very recently we thought. the charge W" s unfounded, or at least exaggerated. We classed it nearly in the same catalogue as " The AbdiiCtion Case ;” and although We always knew Popery to be the op- ponent of civil and religious liberty, yet we must confess that we did not think that it. would dare thus" to show its teeth Whilst living undera Government that generously re- moved. from it every clog, and gave to its adherents the liberty. not only to worship God according to the dieâ€" tates of their conscience, but also gave them their rights as men and as citizens. Here now was a grand l who own no‘rnan master on earth, and bow down with reverence only to the message of the Most High. But it is not so; the recent mani- festo of the Hierarchy of the Catho- lic Church in Canada conclusively : proves that whilst in religion they are serfs, in polities they are also. slaves.’ The human intellect under them is not free, but lettered, shows ing the truth. of the old adage in. its. widest signification, that “r lle laloiie) is free whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides,” As our readers are already aware tl'icre- has lately been a diVision in the camp, the True Witness andtbe (faint-diam Freeman have Widelydif- fcred.

The questions of Representation by Population, and , the voluntary principle, were dc-. nounccd by the Tue Wit/Less, but were generally accepted by. McGee. and his followers.

Here was notic- :usion for any clergyman todespoil “ the sanctity of his ermine.” ll Ca- tholics are free to loft!) an Opinion on politics at all, surely never was there a more politicalsubject than “ thirescritation by Population."

' In reading over the report of the proceedings 'of tbe Markham Coun- oil, We doubt not that the inhabi- lahts of the said township will be exceedingly glad to discover that the amount required this year is stimewliero near $800 less than last year. This of course is matter for Congratulation, paiticularly when it is rcii'ieiiibered that Mr. Haaclte, on behalfof School Sec- tion No: 16, inhibited the Council with the Costs in that suit.‘ Rut there is soi'netliing else at, which they will feel surprised, viz: that $100 has to be raised for the sup- port of .tlie indigent poor. Our humble Opinion of the matter is, that the Council only obeyed the vol so of common humanity in making such provision. Certainly no one would wish the destitute to starve. Then comes the ques- tion, if they are not to starve, what ' is to be done with them? It is not right to lottlie burden be borne by the charitable feW, for this reason : that it is the duty of all to give a helping hand to so desirable an ob- ject. As to its being a bad prece- dent, we must confess we do not think so. We think it. but just; indeed our advice would be, try and get the Counties of York and Pool to make some general provi- sion for the homeless and unfortu- nate, Some such steps will ultimately have to be taken, for it will Soon be found that $100 will not ,near suffice ; for as our popu- lation increases, the numbers re- quiring relief will increase also, and having once begun this good work, it Will be impossible to refuse any really needy case. Let. this, howewr, be as it may, we are per- suatled that none will be so mean as to grumble at the step taken, for remember that even the unfortunate and destitute are our brethren and sisters. It is at our peril, by our acts to ignore the relationship. wwrfin 'I‘OllON '0 FAIR. On Wednesday and Thursday, August 24th and ‘25tb, was held the first of a series of annual Fairs in 'l'oronto. Considering that harvest. operations were not then fit]l>llt‘(i, it is a matter of surprise that so inanyvattendcd. Amongst the mast proii‘iinent of those who exhibited stock, implements, 8rd, we noticed the following; Henry Frank, Vaughan-van Ironheaded Plough, which took the first prize at the Richmond Hill Show; and the Messrs. Patterson & Brother, of Richmond Hill, exhibited one of their Stump h'lachiors, which the Globe‘sliys “ had a very strong look. and appeared as if likely to do its work well.” Some prime wheat barley an'l oats, were also, shewn, and many prime horses, cattle, &0 found purchasers at remunerating prices. Several games were also played, but the greatest of all at- tractions was the Balloon ascen- sion, a description ofwhioh is given in another column. We hope that future fairs will be field at a time when farmers are not so busy, as the object is to give to the farmer a toddler market for his stock than he would otherwise get. ._ u...wa by Mr. BUTTON, that the sum of $1800 b” hill“ on “"3 rale"‘blt‘ilh.

SUICIDE. ___._â€" On Wednesday morning the ins habitants of Richmond Hill were startled by the announcement that the wife of Robert Moor had. died on the previous evening under rather suspicious circumstances.â€" lnformation having been laid be- fore Henry Miller, Esq., Coroner, residing at Thornhill, by Joseph h’IcGee, brother to the deceased, stating that Mrs. Moor had come by her death by the violent treat- them of her husband, Robert Moor, and demanding an inquest. An iancst was accordingly field on quested to examine the body, whilst so doing the jury found it neces- Mr. G Arksey,.millcr, and were taking James Burns’ evidence when it was suddenly announced that Robert Moor had cut his throat. Procoeding at once to the spot, they found theinan lying on his side, having inflicted several l_ severe gas-lies on his throat lwith a ins-or, which .was lying a short distance from him.â€" llying a short time. he,(Moor) recover- ed stifliCienily to make a writ’en _and verbal statement to Robert Marsh, Esq, J.P. one of the jury- men, which went to show that her death was caused by injuries re- ceived fiom falling Whilst in' a. slate of intoxication. This was afterwards disproved by othertesti- .niony; also by Dr. Langstafl, who made a positmortrm,examination, and stated, as the result, that the woman was of strictly temperate habits. . In consequence of the attempted suicide, the inquest adjourned till next day. Thursday, Sept. 1. The jury met again this morning, at Mr. Arksey’s, and proceeded to road over the evidence of Jgamt‘s Burns, as given the day previous, :Hllt‘l’lti’ evidence was as follows :E On Saturday,tl‘ie 27th of Aug- ust. he was in bed; he heard. a scuffle; saw Moor knock deceased down, and kick loniake away with her, and call her severa approbiious names._ Dr. LANGSTAFF was Il‘lt’fl exam-. ined,-â€"â€"his eVidt-nee went to show ,iliat the deceased came by her death from indentation of the )owels; such some person. - R. MARSH, Esq, J.P , then gave the written and verbal statement as received by him from Robert Moor. The stalen‘ient was intended lto convey the impression that de- ceased was addicted to drink, and had thus received the injuries that caused her death. ‘ 5 EDM’UNQ McGee, brother of the deceased swornâ€"whotestified that Mr. Moor in the habit of grossly abusing his wife ; and also, that Mrs. Moor was of strictly tom-I perale habits, which evidence. was corroborated by several other. persons, After hearing all the evidence bearing on the case, a brief sum-. maryol'which is given, and‘afterl careful deliberation, the following verdict was returned : “ that Mary Ann Moor came by her death from inflamation of the. bowels, caused by violent blows and kicks inflicted by her linsband Robert Moor. on Saturday . the 27th August.” This unfortunate atlair. has caused the greatest excitement, from the fact that Mr. Moor has lived m'tbis neighborhood for sew. 'eral years, and was thought by many to be a harmleSs. innofene sive man; indeed to judge from his appearance, one would not iii’iagine him to be the desperate cliaiacler he has turned out‘to be, It however appears by the evidence, that he is a man of Violent passions, and has previously maltieated his: unfortunate wife. It is abundantly clear that lie is a man of resolute. purpose, as he had two razors in his possession, and inflicted no, less than seven wounds in his throat, whic.i shows ecol pre- nieditation and dsperatc re- solve. The cause that led him jto attempt self-deSIruction as stated lby himself was, that he might as well do it as be hung.
