On Tuesday lest, about five o'clock in the evening, a horrid murder was committed in a coweibed, near Malden, Essex, on the body o f William Be!sham, a mike-man--a man as rennukable for the nehle fts of his menners, as f r the rectitude of his conduct. The poor sufferer went, at his usual time, to milk his cows ; and, a short period after, some little bees went into the cow-shed and saw the body quite dead ; the boys, snuck with horror at the sight, immediately alarmed some cottagers who lived near the spot, and suited, as they supposed, the t the accident had arisen (rum a cow ; but, on examination by a profee. sional gentleman and others, who hurrii , d to the spec, alt:udgeon was soon discovered, by which the fatal deed had been doubtless executed ; the bludgeon was large, particularly at the end by which the deceased had been struck, and one side of the end was entirely covered with blood—as tamPletelY sas as if it had been painted. The malignant band of the murderer had executed the direfill task with such effect, that every part of the skull was completely fractured !—The inhabitants of the town, as well as the • military of the garrison, assembled with a promptilude that refrnts the !vigil...lst degree of credit upon them, and pirties mi tout end on horse back immediately undertook a must diligent and active scotch. It ap , pears from what has since transpired, that a eoune aentleman of the town met the deceased about four o'clock, and entered into c•,,nversa• 1 lion with him ; at the same time a man, who wore a dark blue go- :t coat and red waistcoat, was waiting a short distance lion) them ; tie had a parcel under his arm, and a bludgeon answeriunt the description of the one found under that, and partly concealed tinder his coat. When the young gentleman parted with the deceased, the stranger walked on, and in about an hour after, the mangled body was found.,—A le ward of fifty guineas was offered for the apprthensioU of the offender, and we are happy to state, that he has been apprehended, and lodge 4. in Chelmsford goal. A most diabolical attempt at robbery and murder was made WI Thursday last, at the house of Mr. W Ehbutt, a gentleman farmer, at Swanky, near Dartford. A fellow knocked at the kitchen dour abeet seven in the evesing, and, on Sarah Ashy, the servant, opening it, he rushed into the parlour, where Mr. Ehbutt, (who is imfirm) was siting with a friend. The robber was armed with a bludgeon, and the shrieks of the girl having alarmed Mr. E. and his friend , the latter grappled with him, in doing which, he received sonic injury about the head. The robber then called for assistance, and was joined by a companion, who presented a pistol at Mr. Ebbutt's breast, which fla - shed in the pan, and the villaiea then retired. 1 DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Sunday evening about six o'clock, as a respectable tradesman, of Greenwich, his wife, and two children , a boy and girl, from eleven to thirteen years of age, accompanied by another person and his wire, were returning, in a kind of one horse market cart, flour Croydon, where they had been to spend the eay, in coming down Maise-hill (a very steep precipice, leading limn Blackheath to Greenwich ), the animal became wholly un governable, and the road at the bottom of the bill dividing into two branches, the one straight forward leading to Woolwich, the other a very sharp turn round the corner of the Park wall, leading into Greenwich, the driver not being able to bring the horse round the corner in time, the off-side wheel came in Contact with a large tree, the cart immediately upset, and the whole party were thrown mit with great violence. The driver, falling on his head, was killed on the spot ; his daughter had both tier arms broken, and ill since dead. Mrs. W. the tradesman's wife, who is a very corpulent woman, and two others, were so severely bruised, that no hopes are enter tained of their reeovcry. The boy is also much-cut about his head, but is pronounced out of danger.—Doctors Carnarvon and Salim, and other medical gentlemen attended, with that promptitude fur which they have on all similar occasions beet; distinguished, to ren der every assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. The accident hap pened within 100 yards of the tradesman's door. It is also said that one of the women is since dead. DEVONSIURE FARXING.—A few days since a farmer died, who rented a great deal of land in this neighbourhood, and besides other property, bequeathed '23,0001. to his eldest son, 25,0001. to hi , : se cond son, to his third and fourth sons, ;o,ooal. each, and to his daughter, 3,0001.
