receive the moral they con vey with a due sense of obligation 1 would only administer to him a gentle corrective murders within the last forty years some very straugc murders have been com mitted in the county of suffolk the last person hangod for murder in this county was a man named thrower and bis con viction and execution took place in 1811 twentyone years after the murder was ptfrpraivvj toyowe muvivererf tt oivf man and his grand daughter at a place called cbatfield bridge he beat their brains out with a hammer which he had borrowed of a man named head he and head were afterwards transported and iu the year 1s11 when the marrs murder was the general topic of conversation some suspicion fell on thrower but no one knew what bad become of him for 20 years an attorney at chatfild named williams was in con versation with another attorney at cam bridge on the subject of marrs murder and said to him wesuspect that a man named- thrower murdered the old man and his grand daughter at chatfield in 1760 but tvedout know what is become of him the cambridge attorney replied that he had a legacy to pay to a woman named thrower whose husband has been absent from her 20 years and he had learned that the man had returned to englaud and was residing near swaffham and the wife could not receive the legacy till she had obtained the husbands siguature the chatfield attorney immediately went in pursuit of thrower and apprehended him for the murder near swaffham when head came forward and confessed that thrower had borrowed a hammer to do a job and tbatthrower afterwards boast- e i he had murdered the old man and his granddaughter with the hammer and had thrown it in a pond near the old mans house the pond was searched and the hammer was found tpon heads evi dence corroborated as it was by the finding of the hammer and other circumstances thrower was convicted and banged and gibbet ted a man named smith was hanged with throwerfor murdering two of bis children smith and his wife were both found guilty of tho crime they had actually tied up three of hischrildren in a room starved two of them to death the survivor upon whose evidence they were convicted was at the time of the trial reduced to a mere skeleton having had but two potatoes to eat for the fortnight previous to the appre hension of her parents mrs smith plea ded bf r preddcy after her conviction am nine months afterwards she was executed a farmer was executed about 35 years a- go at this place who was convicted of the murder of his daughter a girl about 15 years of age he lived at fakenham and sent the girl to a village to make a purchase on her way home he induced his son to strike her with a stake on tho neck and she fell dead they threw her body iuto a deep ditch roger banstead an opulent farmer was hanged and gihhetted for the murder of a farmer named briggs the parties lived at lakcnhead banstead had impounded from choumla and varna to tho 20th of last month but none has arrived later than the 7th from the former place and the 11th from the latter there was a report at jas- sy according to the french papers of wed nesday of the surrender of varna but an oddessa article of the 18th contradicts it and says that the capture of the vessels of admiral greig has been confounded with the bombarding storming of that place we do not expect to receive any impor tant news from choumla till the return of the emperor to the army which it is uow said would be delayed till the beginning of september during bis stay at odessa lord heytesbury has frequent conferences with the russlau miuister count nessel- rode who is reported to have repeated the assurranco that the russian govern ment will not make conquests which as surance has also been verbally renewed to lord heytesbury by the emperor him self that his imperial majesty has done the destruclion or the dismemberment of the turkish empire iu contemplation is a de claration which he has repeatedly made to our government and to the other govern ments of europe but he demands indem nity for the expenses of the war aud for the losses which his subjects have incurred he insists upon the strict execution of the treaty of ackerman and that the naviga tion of the black sea shall no longer be liable to obstruction nor is there a per son in this country however hostile he maybe to russia who can deny that these are demands which russia has a right to make and which caunot be injurious to us if turkey provoke war she caunot com plain that her enemy if successful makes the expenses of the war fall upon her if b aviuv tbflt she wade a treaty onlv for the purpose of breaking it caushe think it extraordinary thai russia insists on the strict execution of the treaty the invio lable guarantee of the free uavigatiou of the klack sea is the demand which no doubt turkey will consider as the most galling because it will deprive her forever of the key to the black sea so long as she possesses it and can shut at pleasure the bosphorus and the dardanelles she ren ders the black sea of comparatively little importauce in a commercial point of view to russia russia may trade from one part of that sea to the other but she can not extend her commerce to the mediterra nean and to all other seas in the demand therefore of the perfect freedom of navi gation it may be relied upon that russia will persist nor lay down herarms till sho has obtained it as the dismemberment of the turkish empire is not the subject of the war constantinople will remain un der its present ruler and therefore the in violable guarantee of the freedom of the black sea can only be effected by the destruction of the forts on each side of the channel from the entrance of the black sea to constantinople of all the forts on the coast of the sea of marmo ra and the dardanelles the exclusion of the military ships of all nations from this important naval pass would seem to be a proper accompauiment to the destruction of the forts or laud means of annoyance with respect to our interests in such a measure it will readily be allowed that they could only be injured by the navigati on being obstructed and any fears of rus sia shutting the bosphorus and the dar danelles would be ridiculous she fights to keep them open and free and it is her interest that they should remain so because it is her interest to extend her commerce from the black sea to all parts of the world and in proportion as her export trade would be increased her import trade would he iucouraged and thus a wider pas sage would be opened for our own com merce these remarks have been drawn from us by the strictures of some writers who think that the free navigation of the black sea is not an object wlncli

is situated on the back and just at the base of the scull but he had scarcely got it well planted there before a blast from the lungs of the monster ejected it so sud denly and forcibly that he believed until he had looked twice to assure himself to the contrary that his fist had actually flown off the handle he lost bis presence of mind he fell into the water so that he ex perienced no
