HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION OF MR. AND MRS. BONAR,
We have to record one of the most dreadful catastrophes that the annals of guilt ever presented; catastrophes, which at one time were so rare as to form aeras in the history of our country; but which, within these few years, have become so frequent, as to excite in us, the most painful reflections on the state of moral feelings. The flagrant addition to the catalogue of crime which is now before us, is the murder of Thomson Bonar, Esq. the great Russia merchant; and Bank director, and his lady, at their seat at Chislehurst, in the County of Kent.
It appears that on Sunday evening, Mr. Thomson Bonar went to bed at his usual hour; Mrs. Bonar did not follow till two o'clock, when she ordered her female servant to call her at seven o'clock in the morning. The servant, as she had heen directed, at the appointed time went into the bed-room of her master and mistress, and found Mr. Bonar mangled and dead upon the floor, and her lady wounded, dying and insensible in her bed.. A bent poker which was lying on the ground, as well as the fractured condition of the heads of the unfortunate victims, plainly denoted with what instrument the act had been committed. As there were some remains of life in Mrs. Bonar, servants were sent express to town for surgical assistance. Mr. Astley Cooper arrived with all possible dispatch, but it was too late; the wound was mortal, and she expired at 11 minutes past one o'clock, having been, during the whole previous time, insensible, and only once uttering the exclamation of 'Oh! dear'!'
The whole of Tuesday, and part of the day preceding, was occupied in inquiring into these horrid murders. Mr. Bonar, it appears, was found dead on the floor, and, the lady survived until between one and two o'clock on Monday, but quite senseless. Her skull was dreadfully fractured, and part of her brains were found in the bed. A footman, who had been in the family five weeks, of the name of Philip Nicholson, formerly a private in a dragoon regiment, and since servant to the City Remembrancer, was taken into custody in London, on Monday morning, on suspicion of having been the perpetrator of the horrid murders, after a scuffle with Forrester, the city-officer, who found him on horseback, drinking at the door of the Three Nuns Inn, in Whitechapel, with an old acquaintance. He was conveyed to Giltspur-street Compter, in a state of drunkenness approaching insanity, and nothing like a rational answer or confession of guilt could be obtained from him.
Tuesday he was examined at the Mansion-house. He said, that the night preceding the murder he went to bed about 12 o'clock, and knew nothing of what had happened until called up by the housemaid, about eight o'clock next morning. He was the only male servant that slept in the house. Some of the windows he had fastened inside at the usual hour, and the rest were attended to by the housemaid.
On the murder being discovered, and the servants assembled, he, with others, went to the room where lay his master and mistress. The former was found quite dead in a mangled state, and the later just discovered signs of life; he was able to ascertain the fact by placing his ear near to the mouth of his mistress. The floor was covered with blood and other matter which had come from his master. He conceived he was doing right in taking the sheets off his master's bed and with them to clear away the nuisance; having done. so, he took the soiled linen to the room where he slept. The groom was present, and assisted him to pull the upper sheet from his own bed to wrap these of his master's in. The sheets altogether he put under his own bed. - Being asked why he did this, when he ought to have known that in such cases nothing should be disturbed about the persons of the deceased ? He answered he was ignorant of that; what he had done was with the best intent, conceiving as he did that so horrid and unpleasant a sight would have been offensive to any person having occasion to enter the room. His night-shirt, he said, he left in his bed when he got up, and might be found. He was then asked as to the foot-marks in blood, which appeared on the stairs leading from his appartment to that in which the murders were committed.- He said that if there were any, it might have been done when he went backward and forward with the soiled sheets: but he was told, that the mark had been seen before he left his room in the first instant. He was stripped and examined in a private room, in order to see if he had any bruises about him, which he might have received in the conflict with Mr. Bonar. Trifling bruises were found on his person, particularly one on his forehead; but those were explained to have been received in the scuffle with Forrester.
On being questioned as to his conduct on the way to town, the prisoner admitted that he left Chislehurst a little after eight o'clock, and that he refreshed himself and the horse three times on the road, himself with three glasses of rum, and the horse with three pints of porter; and notwithstanding this, it appeared that he performed the whole of his journey in about forty minutes.
After his examination at the Mansion-house, he was conveyed to the house of his late master at Chislehurst. A Coroner's Jury sat at one o'clock, at the house.
Mrs. Clarke, the late Mrs. Bonar's maid, who had lived two years in the family, stated that her late mistress went to bed from one to two o'clock; and the last time she saw her master was at ten o'clock, at prayers; he went to bed about twelve. At 20 minutes past 12, Mrs. Bonar left her library, and rung the bell; ,witness met her upon the stairs, when the former said, Philip (the man in custody), had not fastened the door leading to the lawn, and witness said she would do it; but Mrs Bonar said it was of no signification, as she had fastened the folding doors leading to the stair-case.
Mr. and Mrs. Bonar slept in a double bed, and witness warmed her lady's bed, and retired to rest before two o'clock on Monday morning. The bed-room door was left open, as was customary, as were also the door of the lady's dressing-room, and that of the antichamber at the top of the stair-case. Witness went to bed with the house-maid, having been ordered by her mistress to call her at half-past seven the next morning. Witness was awakened by the house-maid at the time appointed, who informed her that there was a disagreeable smell from her mistress's bed-room. The house-maid found the door of the anti-chamber leading from the stair-case through the dressing-room, to the bed-room, locked on the outside, and which witness left open. The house maid rejoined, that there were traces of blood, from the stair-case to the bed-room of Mr. and Mrs. Bonar, and that a rush light which had been left burning, as usual, in the anti-chamber was gone, - Witness was so much agitated she could not dress herself, and she said there was murder committed. The house-maid went with witness to the chamber-door, but they were alarmed at going in. The laundry-maid was called, and on opening the shutter, a most dreadful spectacle presented itself; the lady was in the state above described, labouring for breath, and senseless, and the unfortunate Gentleman was a corpse on the floor, severely wounded- His right wrist was much hurt, and it is conjectured this injury must have been sustained in attempting to defend himself and his lady. A poker was lying near the body, the toilet was thrown over, and some things were lying on the floor. Witness went down stairs into the servant's hall, and she lost her recollection, but on recovering herself, she found herself in the arms of the coachman. The footman had got a bloody sheet or sheets in his hands, which he brought from the room of the deceased, and he took a sheet from his own bed in the servants-hall, and wrapped that in his hand up in it. There was only one sheet upon Nicholson's bed.
Susan Curnick, the housemaid, corroborated the last witness. This witness stated, that the footman run up stairs, and when he brought down the bloody sheet or sheets, he said Mrs. Bonar was alive, and urged them all to give immediate assistance, and he insisted on going immediately to London for Mr. Astley Cooper, and to let Mr. Bonar's partner, in Broad-street, know of the catastrophe. He went away soon after on Mr. Bonar's horse.
The front door of the house was found open in the morning, when the house-maid got up, as was also one of the drawing-room windows, level with the lawn. The footman let the groom out to his bed over the stable at past twelve o'clock; and at four in the morning Mrs. Williams, who came to the house to wash, found the windows where he slept were open. Lavender, the officer, found a rush-light concealed in a wood closet, supposed to have been the one taken from the anti-chamber, as it was proved such was not burnt out.
William Evans, the groom, had been in the service of the family since December ; he was in the hall when the footman put the sheet into a sheet pulled from his bed; witness does not sleep in the house, but over the stables. He was in the house till after twelve o'clock, on Sunday evening, sitting with the footman, and never saw him in better humour. He had never heard him say any thing disrespectful of his master or mistress, except now and then an angry expression at being overworked, such as ' D--n the old woman, she wears me out.' When the examination of this witness was finished, he begged to state a circumstance which he had just recollected. He said that he saw the footman dabbing the sheets in the blood, at the foot of the bed. Being pressed upon this point, he said that the housemaid, who was in the room at the time, could tell more about it.
Thomas Foy found a pair of shoes bloody, supposed to belong to the prisoner, Nicholson, the footman, concealed in another wood closet, which corresponded with. the marks on the floor, and also a night cap in the footman's bed marked with spots of blood.
King confirmed this statement.
The poker was then produced; it is bent in the upper part:, it has been new bitted, and seems never to have been in the fire; the other part is old, and a new top has been rivetted on; it is a common kitchen poker, about two feet four inches long, and the bit is about nine inches long. Between twelve and one o'clock, just when the Coroner was about to finish the evidence, Nicholson asked the officers who had him in care, to permit him to go into the yard, which they refused; but suffered him to go to a water-closet; and although one of the Bow-street, and one of the City officers went with him, he, with razor, which he had contrived to conceal, in an instant cut his throat; but every assistance being directly afforded him by the Medical Gentlemen present, the wound was sewed up, and he is in a fair way of recovery.- The Jury, after a long and patient investigation, found a Verdict against Philip Nicholson, for the Wilful Murder of Mr. and Mrs. Bonar.
Miscellaneous.
Saturday, at a general meeting of English Roman Catholics, assembled at the Earl of Shrewsbury's, which was attended by the principal Nobility and Gentlemen, and Landholders of England, it was proposed, and carried by a great majority, that Dr. Milner, whose politics have been so detrimental to the Catholic Emancipation, does no longer possess the confidence of the Catholics: and as such his politics and writings, either for or against, are to be considered of no authority; and to convince the world at large that Dr. Milner possesses no political power, in his person as Bishop, over the minds and persons of the English Catholics, they also voted him to be no longer considered a person fit to belong to their board.- Morning Post.
The following Resolutions have been adopted at a meeting of the Catholic Bishops in Dublin :-

Resolved unanimously, That having seriously examined the copy of the Bill now in progress through Parliament, purporting to provide for the removal of the civil and military disqualifications under which his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects labour, we feel ourselves bound to declare, that the Ecclesiastical clauses or securities therein contained, are utterly incompatible with the discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, and with the free exercise of our religion.
Resolved unanimously, That without incurring the heavy guilt of schism, we cannot accede to such regulations; nor can we dissemble our dismay and consternation at the consequences which such regulations, if enforced, must necessarily produce.
(Signed) 'RICHARD O'REILLY', Pres.

Brien, Esq. of Glaston, who by the death of a brother, some years resident in India, has (with another brother, in still humbler circumstances than himself) acquired thirty thousand pounds.
The Opera on Saturday evening was crowded at an early hour, occasioned by a report that the Princess of Wales was to be present, for the first time since the revival of the scrutiny which has terminated so highly to her honour. The hopes of the company had almost entirely vanished, and hundreds had left the theatre in despair, before her Royal Highness entered her box, as she did not arrive till near eleven o'clock at night, after the first Act of the new Ballet. She was preceded by Lady Charlotte Campbell, and remained for a few minutes at the back of the box, during the universal peals of joy. She then advanced to the front of the circle; and with much self composure, though evidently forcibly impressed with the interest of the scene, bowed repeatedly to the audience, with the marked gracefulness and dignity becoming her exalted station. When the first applauses subsided, 'God save the King' was called for from the pit, and was played by the Orchestra, the vocal performers having mostly left the House. The ballet afterwards went on to its conclusion. The Princess then turning round to retire, the universal impulse revived, and every gratifying testimony which could be given by the audience, was offered in renewed and repeated plaudits for a considerable time.
ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, &c.
Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a very melancholy event took place in Somerset-street, Portman-square. The Hon. Mrs. Gordon, who resided at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Williams, threw herself from the window of the first-floor upon the footpath, and though taken up alive, she expired in a few minutes afterwards. Mrs. G. was between sixty and seventy years of age, and had for some time laboured under a great depression of spirits.

Helen Kennedy, who was about twelve months ago tried for murder before the Circuit Court at Dumfries, is again in custody, on suspicion of child murder.-A precognition is going on.
NOTORIOUS ROBBER.- A robber of the most resolute and determined description has, for the last week, been infesting the bye-roads and lanes in and about Box, Bathford, and Colerne, to the great terror of the inhabitants of those places. Sunday, about one o'clock, as some of the female part of the family of ---- Horlock, Esq.; were returning from church, they were stopped by this desperado, and robbed by him of all they possessed: he even took the rings from off their fingers! About half-past one o'clock the same day he stopped Thomas Stagg on Barrow-down-hill, who was on horseback, holding a pistol to his breast, and in the most determined manner telling him to give up all he had or he would blow his brains out: the poor fellow gave him eighteen-pence, all, he possessed; but the rascal, being dissatisfied, took his silver watch, from him. In less than half an hour afterwards, he stopped Henry Mead, of Bath, carpenter, in Shockerwick-lane. He had a handkerchief over his face, and held a pistol to Mead's breast, saying, I am a match for any man: offer no resistance: I've a wife, and six children starving, and must have money; give me all you have got.' Mead gave him a three-shilling piece, but the fellow not satisfied with this, very deliberately examined Mead's pockets, holding the pistol against his breast all the time. He was dressed in striped trowsers, had on a black smock frock, or shirt, which was reeved round the waist or fastened in the trowsers: he appears to be about 5 feet 10 inches high, dark hair, dark greasy complexion, and has the appearance of a boatswain of a man of war. It is said that he alters his dress, and has been seen with blue trowsers and a blue jacket on.

HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.
The Monthly Report of the Physicians will be published to-morrow. We expect that it will assure us of the comfortable and tranquil state in which the King has passed the last month.
Monday, the Queen and Princesses Augusta and Mary, left Windsor for London, at ten o'clock. On Tuesday the Prince Regent gave a grand ball and supper to the Royal Family, and a large party of the nobility. The arrangements were nearly similar to those of the entertainment given about three weeks since. The company was more numerous. About nine o'clock, the Queen, and Princesses Augusta and Mary, proceeded across the Park, to Carlton-house, in their chairs; and about ten the company invited began to arrive.
Thursday, her Majesty and the Princesses returned to Windsor about half-past ten.
Friday, being the celebration of the King's birth-day, her Majesty gave a splendid dinner at Frog-more, to the Royal Family, and a number of distinguished characters; consisting of the Prince Regent, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Dukes of Kent and Cambridge, the Princesses, the Princess Charlotte ;-Lords Winchilsea and Yarmouth, Ladies Harrington, Macclesfield, Paulet, and Onslow; Hon. Miss Egerton, Hon. Miss Townsend, Miss Knight; General Garth, Sir T. Tyrwhitt, Col. Taylor, &c. &c.
Thc Queen's Council was this day attended by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Duke of Montrose.
Friday, being the 75th anniversary of His Majesty's birth-day, the same was celebrated at Windsor, by all those demonstrations of respect, with which the inhabitants have been accustomed to mark their affection for a sovereign, whose private virtues more peculiarly shone amongst them, and hence diffused their brilliant example over an admiring land. That happy period is past; but the remembrance still lives in every heart. On this occasion, the festivity which was once pure and unmixed, was now mingled with something of melancholy affection, stealing over the rising smile, and lifting us above the glow of present enjoyment. Several public dinners took place in Windsor, and in the evening, the town was very generally illuminated. The young gentlemen of Eton College, who are the most distinguished for aquatic amusements, according to long established custom, went up the River to Surly-hall, where they supped in the meadow of M. Grover, Esq. The regatta consisted of eight boats; in six of which were the juvenile watermen, habited in the costume of the Royal Navy, with cockswains in elegant fancy dresses; in the other two boats were the band of the 33d regiment. They left Mr. C. Carter's quay at 7 o'clock, in the following order :-
1.-Monarch, 10 oars, cockswain, Mr. SIMPSON, in an elegant dress of white satin, embossed with gold.
2.-Dreadnought, 8 oars, cockswain, Mr. DAVIS, in the habit of a midshipman.
3.- Mars, 8 oars, cockswain, Lord WALSCOT, in an elegant plaid dress.
4.- Veteran, 8 oars, cockswain, Hon. Mr. EDEN, in a beautiful dress of green silk, embossed with gold.
5.- Defiance, 8 oars, cockswain, Mr. FELLOWS, in a very handsome dress of white satin.
6.- Rival, 8 oars, cockswain, Mr. MULLENS, as a midshipman.
The procession returned at half-past eight, and was received at Windsor Bridge by a grand display of fireworks., which lasted whilst the young gentlemen rowed several times round the island above the bridge, the band playing appropriate national airs.- The whole was under the management of Mr. C. Carter. - The banks of the river, both at Surly-Hall and Windsor, were crowded by persons of the first elegance; the Dukes of Kent and Cambridge were at Surly-Hall. This is altogether an exhibition peculiarly gratifying, because it is so associated with our ideas of the national greatness. At the same time these athletic diversions place the advantages of public education in a strong point of view; the emulation even of a contest of strength is such a 'nurse of manly sentiment,' that we may overlook the few excesses which sometimes accompany or follow these amusements.
Our Theatre will open for the short season at Ascot Races, on Saturday the 12th-inst. under the management of Mr. Grove. We understand that this gentleman has made such arrangements as to ensure to the public of Windsor and its neighbourhood, a display of novelty and acknowledged talent, such as is seldom provided for the amusement of a provincial audience.
The sport expected this year at Ascot Races, very far exceeds that of former seasons. The stakes in general are unusually full of subscribers, and several new stakes have been formed. We can confidently state that the Queen and Royal Family will honour the course with their presence on the first day.
The first regiment of Bucks Yeomanry, under the command of Sir W. Clayton, on Thursday completed their eight days spring exercise; on which occasion they were inspected by Colonel Aubrey, in Mr. Dupre's park at Beaconsfield. This corps is now 300 strong, and has attained such a perfection of discipline and skill in its evolutions, as is seldom exceeded by the best regiments of the line.
On Tuesday June 1st, a grand match of cricket was played on Drayton Moor, by 22 gentlemen of West Drayton, married and single, for thirty guineas a side, which was won by the latter by one wicket.
The High Sheriff of Surrey has appointed a Meeting of the Freeholders, at Epsom, on Monday the 14th instant, to consider of an Address to the Princess of Wales, on the late conspiracy against her life, &.
The ancient castle of Guildford was purchased on Monday last for the Duke of Norfolk. Of the founder of this venerable structure, or the aera of its construction, little is mentioned in history till about 140 years previous to the conquest, when it became the theatre of a bloody tragedy, the massacre of the followers of Prince Alfred, (treacherously invited to the Castle,) by order of Harold, the second Danish Monarch, who also here caused the eyes of their Prince to be put out, who was then confined in a monastery, where he shortly after expired. King Henry II. frequently kept his court here; and in the years 1199 and 1200, King John kept Easter and Christmas here; King Henry Ill. Edward II. Edward III Edward IV. and Henry VIII. also occasionally resided at this Castle and Palace.
A most singular attempt to plunder the house of a poor labouring man occurred last week at Horsley, near Guildford; the whole of the family had left the house in the morning, and gone out to work; the eldest son returning about dinner time he heard some person in the room above, and on going up saw a man busied in packing up large bundles of linen, goods. &c.; on enquiring what he was doing, the villain observed, that the man who was at the front door could tell him, and that he would just step down and call to him: it is hardly necessary to state that both immediately decamped. It appears the villains intended stripping the house, as almost every portable article above stairs was packed up, including the poor man's family plate, viz. six silver tea spoons.
On Sunday evening last, a melancholy accident happened at Sandford, near Oxford; as John Collinson, son of a respectable farmer of Sunningwells, Berks was crossing the water at the lock, he accidentally fell into the pound, and though several persons were present, who rendered every assistance in their power, the body could not be got out until animation was quite lost.
Wednesday last, as Stephen Stiles, a poor boy, was stooping to pick up some pieces of coal, which had fallen from a Waggon at Wytham, near Oxford, he unfortunately fell under the wheel, which went over his neck and killed him on the spot.
Wednesday last a publican of Oxford was fined 40s. for refusing to receive and provide quarters for two soldiers, who had been billeted on him.
Thursday the Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton-house, at which Lord Whitworth was introduced to his Royal Highness, by Viscount Sidmouth, when the Prince was pleased to appoint his Lordship Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; in the room of the Duke of Richmond.
