They seem to have queer hankerings iiflt'r tho horrible in Wolverhampton. •A'e (Glasgow tluil) have already given the particular-- of the murder of Mrs Rogers by bel husband, of lm confession, and of his committal for trial. We were quite prepared for the excitement and indignation aroused in Wolverhampton by the ghastly occurrence; but we were hardly prepared for this, that on a Saturday and Sunday lately tbe body of the murdered woman vvas exhibited to all who chose to pay a small fee for enjoying the shocking spectacle. Many went and paid their mouey, coming away probably satisfied, and many more would doubtless have availed themselves of the privilege had not the police interfered, and closed the disgusting show. The funeral of the unfortunate woman took place ou the following Tuesday, and thereat, it s stated, hundreds of women "behaved in a manner scarcely credible even in the ' Black Country.' "
