MURDER WILL OUT.

* That " murder will out" cannot fail (says a recent Dubbq [Dispatch); to -Yoi{ ceive a fresh exemplification if the man arrested on Friday last- by Subinspector Norton should tur,n oj.it t0..." be the veritable .murderer of MipfiaeL Murray, who .was murdered aVithO; ; Wren's Nest, Swatchfield, Fish River; Creek, on the 24tlr August, .1869. The circumstances attending the discovery of Cox (for that ,is. his name) are so singular that we make.no apology to our readers for relating them. On Friday1 afternoon Cox was at Samuels' Telegraph. Hotel,, land while' there an old man named Thome came up to him and said, "Hallo, Bill, how are you?'1 Cox replied, "My name isn't Bill., You don't know me." Thorne, indignant at this denial, at once blurted out, •'.' Why, didn't you murder Mick Murray1 at ■ the Wren's Nest ?" '' He then told Mr. Samuels to. take the., fellow in charge while he went fotfthe police,- and rushed in the. direc-' tion of the sub-inspector's residence. No notice was taken of what, he said the persons round . imagining he was either drunk or "mad;""but Cox, the alleged murderer, did take notice. He !im mediately, and■ without' exciting

any suspicion, went away, and was walking down Brisbane-street in the direction of the Talbragar, when Mr. Norton, with the informer, made his appearance on the scene, and quickly apprended him. On Friday, Cox was brought up at fche Police Office. The evidence of Thorne was taken, and tho prisoner remanded to Bathurst. As far as the externals are concerned, Cox is the , person that was supposed to have murdered Murray. He answers the decription given in the Gazette at the time, even to the top of the forefinger being off. There is a reward of .£IOO for the apprehension of Mur-ray's-murderer.
