The most important disclosure he lias Vel mnde. was to a neighbor, who inquired how much gold he had brought home. "I have ben asked that ques ion rivie thoi.ani times, aud have uot answered it yet."

Laurel, Oct. 24,1850. Sam'l Williams. A Case without a Parallel. The English Court's records frequently exhibit human nature in a most wi.ked aspect. The following is a case almost without parallel: Elizabeth Bulb wes convi'ced of the murJer of Maria Hook, her niece, by withholding from her necessary food and clothing. Richard Hack, her father, a man of substance, losing his wife, took her sister, the said Elizabeth to be his housekeeper. She had chil.ireu of h.r otrn, and soon becoming mis;r-ss uf the family, sl.'e began to neglect and shockingly ir.ultreat the three children of Hook, by her sister, cf who ii Maris was the youngest. This little girl being only four years old, on account of her tenJer rg", of course suffered the most, a id if there was any distinction, was the most m!ssuse,J. She wes kept almost naked was left corered wish filth was rcarcely allowed a mouthful of food was whipped met unmercifully for crying for bread, was suffered to lie by the roidsi ie unheeded was reduced to a skeleton, and made half idiotic by hard usuige, and finally died in convulsions. The girl when dead, weighed only six pounds, which is less than the ordinary weight of an infant at birth. Nor the least remarkable feature of this case, was, that the whole neighborhood were virtually accomplices of Ihis slow infernal murder. They all knew whal was in progress, and yet raised not a hand to prevent it. Neither the clergyman of lhe parish, nor the relieving officer, nor the parochial authorities, nor a single neighbor, interposed between the child, and the consummation of her long agony. On the trial Elizabeth Bubb, the housekeeper, was fouud guilty and sentenc
ed to transportation for life; and the father Kich-
