About eighteen months since, a Mr. Raymond Gaches, a surgeon, came to reside in the village, having, as we understand, performed a difficult operation upon his Lordship, in which he was successful About six weeks since he attended a married woman named Jane Mary awards died. The i i en o a r n se d dedvearneodahieetr,wobiuntanehpre present t rt e ly t birthtafil'ioteevrestvta'as ucb afterwards attributed the death of the woman to the course pursued by Mr. Gaches ; and after doe body had been buried for about six weeks, on their eeeetestanication with some of the Norwich surgeons, it was deemed advisable to disinter the corpse, and subject it to a post rnerhere examin ation ; and Mr. Pilgrim, at the request of differeat members of the profession, consented to hold an inquest uponit. Messra. Crosse and Francis wore the surgeons who made the examina tion. In their opinion, had the woman been treated properly after the birth, her life might have been saved. Mr. Gaches was in the room during the inquiry, but took little or no part in the proceedings; and the jury. after having heard the evidence, in a few minutes found a verdict of man slaughter against Mr. Gaches. Mr. Gaches said that, if he was wrong in the treatment of the deceased, it had been through error, and not by wilful neglect. The coroner issued his warrant for his apprehension, and fully committed him for trial at the approaching assizes. The proceedings were not over till very late, and Mr. Gaches was placed for the night in the custody of police inspector Bassett, but about three o'clock in the morning lie made his escape. A full description of his person has since been published, with an offer ofs/. for his apprehension. He is described as being 45 years of age, fire feet seven inches high, slender, dark complexion, hair black and partly grey, high cheek bones, and whiskers shaved in a line with the ear. lie has left a wife and child behind him. The deceased has had other children, and we hare been informed that the surgeon who attended her in her previous acconchement said, if she had any more children she would n o t survive it.--Norwich P os t. HORRIBLE OUTR AGE.— A RURAL AMUM[ENT.-- The parish of Foulaliam, Norfolk, has for several days been thrown into au excited state, in consequence of a most brutal outrage committed upon the Person of an old man. between 70 and 80 years of age, named Amiss. HO resided at Foulsham, and was much addicted to drinking. On the morning of the 2] st of February he was enticed into a beer house in Foulsham, kept by Benjamin Clitheroe, whore several of his pot compel/ions were drinking together; they had sent for a large quantity of jalop, and man drink. He was soon in a very bad state. while theold put the same into some beer, which they made H i t e heol com panions obtained music, dancing cornm ew eneed nothing that was man, being in a state of stupor, i k e n m held him up to going on, while the parties tl y u r ed burnedth at he i stripped him of his clothes, and this nakedstate he was pulled of females.

He wee not able to reach his own home till the next morning, when he went to bed and lingered till the 3d instant, when he died. An inquest hav ing been held, and these facts established, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against five persons of the names of Eglinton, Archer, Clitheroe, Baker, and Chepperfield. The Coroner then issued his warrant for their committal to the county gaol, and the parish officers were bound over to prosecute. FOREIGN BUTTER.—The collectors and eoraptrol lers of th e C ustoms at the several outports of the United Kingdom have received instructions to prepare and transmit to the Inspector-General of Imports and Exports, with the least possible delay, the undermentioned accounts, as far as the same relates to their respective ports. A return of the quantity of fo . sign butter destroyed in bond during the last four years, with the dates of the several periods at which such destruction took place, and the quantity destroyed at each period. EXTRAORDINARY OPERATION.—One day last week James W'alder, shepherd to Mr. Trimmingham, of Marr Grange, near this town, a young man about 20 years of age, was desired by his master to kill an ewe sheep, in conse quence of an accident which had happened to the animal. The ewe was in lamb at the time, and Walker proposed to save the produce, which was pronounced by Mr. Trimming ham to be a work of impossillility. The young man, how ever, went to work in a skilful manner, and succeeded in the operation, bringing into being two fine lambs, both of winch are now living and doing well.—Doncaster Gazelle. SALE OF VAN ANIDURGII'S ESTARLISIIMI3NT.—We understand that Mr. Van Amburgh has decided upon retiring from his profession and returning to America, and that his whole establishment of elephants, giraffes , lions, leopards, and stud of sixt . y horses will be brought to the hammer, at Manchester, in the course of the pre sent mouth.—Liverpool Albion.

The prisoners were again arraigned this morning, upon a charge of stealing boar fowls, the property of Mr. ()kiln, and, upon a verdict of guilty being returned, the Lord Chief Justice, after commenting upon the atrocious character of the offence of which they had been convicted on the previous evening, sentenced the prisoner Baker, for the first offence, to be kept to hard labour for three years, the last fou r t een days in the first and second years in solitary confinement; and for the second offence, at the termination o f th e f ormer sentence, that he should be transported for seven yearn. The other prisoner was sentenced to eighteen months' hard la bour, seven days in the first year, and at the expiration of the sentence, to be passed in solitary confinement, and that he should then also be transported for seven years. INCENDIARISIC—James Merchant, aged 20, and William Youngs, aged 21, were indicted for feloniously firing a barn, a cart• shed, and other buildings, the property of the execu tors of Edward Lugar, deceased. This case occupied the Court a considerable time, but the facts lie in a very small compass. The chief, and, indeed, the only evidence against the prisoners consisting in decla rations alleged to have been made by them prior to and after the fire. It appeared that the fire in question took place at a farm called Badley Hall, at Ardleigh, in this county, above a year ago, and although at the time some suspicion was entertained of the prisoners, no proceedings were taken against them until recently, when some persons came forward who swore that on the day of the fire the prisoners were in company, and that they were heard to say there should a fire at Badley Hall. After the fire had happened another witness stated that he heard one of the prisoners say to the other, that they had had a - good flare up, and that it would not be found out if they " kept it dark." Some of the witnesses who deposed to these facts were persons of very indifferent character ; but altogether a very strong case was made out against the prisoners. The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoners were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. There were two other indictments for arson against the same prisoners, but they wcn not prcceeded with. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—Orford, March 7. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) LETTER STEALING 11Y A POST-MISTRESS. Ann Gardner, who is a post-mistress at Enstone, in this county, was charged with having opened two letters, and stolen a third, containing two half-sovereigns, all of which were committed to her care. It appeared that several letters had never reached their destination, after having been sent to the post-office at Enstone. In consequence of numerous complaints upon this subject having been made to the authorities at the General Post-office, Mr. Ramsey, the superintendent of the missing letter department, prepared what is technically called "a trap letter," an invention which has been found of great service in detecting the Post-office robberies, of late but too frequent. This letter enclosed a sovereign, which had been previously marked, and, after having been sent through the suspected channel, was examined by the proper authorities, when it was discovered that, although the coin was still there, the seal (of red wax)_ had been tampered with. A. second letter, with another direction, was then sent, containing two marked half sovereigns. This was also found to have been opened and resealed, but still the money was untouched. A third attempt was then made, which proved saccessful in detect ing the culprit. Two half-sovereigns, marked, were put into a letter, directed "Thomas Hicks, to be left at the Chequers, Pradford-lane, Exeter, England ; with speed." This was put, as if by accident, into a bundle of letters for Enstone, and it was the duty of the prisoner to have written on it " mis-sent," and to have returned it to Oxford. No tidings of the letter having been heard, Mr. Ramsey, accompanied by Mr. Forrest, one of the clerk s o f th e Post-office, went, on the 6th of November last, from Oxford to Enstone, when Mr. Ramsey informed the prisoner that he had come to show her the two first letters, which had evidently been opened. She denied all knowledge of the affair, and he then inquired for the letter directed to "Thomas Hicks," which ought to have been returned by her to Oxford. She declared that she had never seen it, and told him he might search the house. This he did, but not finding it, went out for a policeman, leaving Mr. Forrest with the prisoner. While he was absent Mr. Forrest heard her crumpling a piece of paper in her pocket, and immediately afterwards she put something on the fire, and laid a coal upon it. This lie instantly snatched off, when it proved to be a post-office envelope, which had been used to inclose the two half-sovereigns in question, both of which . were still within it,, and were identified by the marks before men tioned. No traces of the letter itself could, however, be found. The policeman now coming in, the prisoner was given into custody, and in the course of the subsequent search of the house, a small pocket-knife with a flat-hooked blade was discovered, having red sealing-wax adhering to the point on each side. From its appearance, there could be no doubt that the blade had been heated, and had, while in that state. come in contact with the wax. That part of the charge which related to the stealing the letter having been abandoned by the Learned Counsel for the Crown, the indictment for the larceny of the money was proceeded upon. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a ver dict of Guilty. The prisoner is 64 years of age, and has b orne a goo d cha racter.—Sentence deferred. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—March 6. Mr. Justice Wightman was engaged the whole day with the trial of two cases against the sheriff. The question in one case respected the property in certain goods which had been seized under a writ. In the other the dispute was whe ther due diligence had been used in the endeavour to execute it. The cases were of no public interest. FUNERAL OF SIR JOHN GURNEY.—The interment of the remains of the late Sir John Gurney took place yester day.

This theatre was filled to overflowing last night, with an audience in high good humour, to witness the last perform ance during the present season, it being also for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley. Martin Chuzzkwit, condensed into two acts, was chosen for the occasion, and Mr. Keeley as Sairey (lamp, and Mrs. Keeley as the boy Bailey, were hailed with great applause. Mr. Distin and his four sons (the Sax-horn players) performed the celebrated quintette from Robert le Diable, and were honoured with an encore. After the farce of A Model . of a Wife, Mrs. Keeley delivered very effectively the following address:— " Ladies and Gentlemen,—The last night of the season having arrived, it devolves upon me, as directress of this theatre, to address a few words to its patrons. The task is to me most pleasing, not less from the bright .retrospection of past success, than the cheering anticipation of soon meeting you again. " Until last year there was a cloud hung so unfortunately over this house, that at last the world looked upon the Ly ceum as Betsy Prig did upon Mrs. Harris—' They didn't believe there was no such theatre.' "By careful and fortunate management, however, the establishment, from a fiction, has, I am proud to say, become a 'great fact,' and in imitation of our larger neighbours, we have held League meetings here nightly, which have ma terially assisted our Treasury. But ours was a lea7u., e only against dullness and blue d ev il s; var i ous were the forms in which we assailed them, nor were we scrupulous as to .the allies we called to oar assistance. First,we assailed them with the Forty Thieves, but finding, after a series of attacks, that even they relaxed in their vigour, we called upon the magic aid of Aladdin's Lamp and Ring, and as fresh occasion called for new assistance, we summoned from the prolific brains of our unwearied authors Valentine and his Savage Brother. With these we have occupied our dramatic field of battle, flanked with twenty new pieces of various calibre, but all of which went off with great effect. We have maintained our ground victoriously. " Gentlemen of the Pit,—You will be happy to hear that the revenue exhibits a most cheering balance. I have, how ever, several new taxes to impose, but they. are only upon your kindness and constant attendance. I continue to receive the most friendly assurances from the authors who have already written fur the Lyceum. On them will the pen at:d ink'em tax fall most heavily ; but they will not object to it, even if it extends beyond Three Years. They inform me that the late Budget, in removing the duty from Staves, will enable them to furnish me with Songs on the most ad vantageous terms. "Gentlemen of the Gallery --I have directed estimates to be made of various alterations connected with your part of the house. The gallery will be far more commodious, and better adapted both for seeing and hearing than the honour able benchers who fill it have hitherto found it. •Ladies and Gentlemen,—Such improvements will be im mediately commenced in every part of the house as will, I trust, tend materially to your future comfort. It will. be thoroughly cleaned and redecorated, and the introduction of a new chandelier will render what has hitherto been a most enlightened audience, still more so. Within an hour after your quitting this house, scaffolds will be erected for the execution (don't be alarmed)—the execution of my orders to that effect. But I fear I am trespassing on your patience. "On the part of my frequent partner, Mr. Keeley, and myself, I beg to expres s most sincere thanks for your un ceasing patronage. You have been the means of shedding happiness for twelve months over many, many families. Pray be assured that your favour; so liberally extended to us in public, has been sincerely felt and acknowledged in our own homes." This address was received with loud plaudits, and a shower of bouquets were thrown upon the stage. Mr. Keeley, as Mrs. Sairey Gamp, immediately afterwards made the following announcement : "Ladies and Gentlemen all—l don't know what that blessed babby has been a sayin' of; but I thought I heard her speakin' the words of Betsy Prig, which, it's known, I hates. What she's been a saying is unbeknown to that blessed creetur, her husband—which, however, don't oppoge it ; but, if anything's wrong, which I hopes will not• be the case, call me in. I shall be at home on Easter Monday next." The speaker threw a number of cards into the pit, which bore the legend, " Mrs. Sairey Gamp, at Home, Easter Monday, at seven." On that evening, a new comedy in two acts, a new farce, and a new burlesque, will be brought forward, to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Keeley's numerous visitors. DEATH of MR. SAMUEL RUSSELL, THE COMEDIAN, AND FATHER. OF THE STAGE. This once celebrated actor, famous for his performance of Jerry Sneak, in the Mayor of Garratt, expired on Wednes day, the 26th ult., at the house of his daughter, in Graves end, at the advanced age of 79 years, having been born in 1766. Mr. Russell's name as an actor, is associated with the brightest period of the English drama, when John Kemble, Charles Kemble, King, Lewis, Elliston, Faw ce t t , D owton, Munden, John Bannister, Emery, 11 .

On the Prince's return to London, he mentioned to King (then the stage• manager at Drury) the gratification he had derived from the performance of an actor named Samuel Russell, adding a wish to see him on the London boards; the same night an offer was made to " Samuel Russell, Esq.," and addressed " Theatre Royal Margate." Samuel being the sponsorial appellation of the son, he opened the epistle, his father being absent from rehearsal, and the business proposed suiting him, he agreed to act with the salary offered. He took a hasty leave of his theatrical associates and sire, came to London and made his bow on the boards of old Drury the 21st of September, 1795, in the characters of Charles Surface and Fribble (Mess in Her Teens); the Prince came to see his favourite, and was struck with surprise to find that the son had been engaged instead of the father, and though not so highly pleased with his performance of Charles, was so delighted by his acting in Billy Fribble, that lie declared himself much gratified at having been the occa sion of introducing him to the metropolis. Of his Jerry Sneak it is hardly necessary to speak ; the old play goer will remember that it stood alone—it was a faultless per formance, and defied competition ; it became his cognomen ever after. secsotnad in the bloodl ess on Finchley ge-manager t o th e S p, He a ft er - Sulrrn ey lB , l a 2 n , d he w a as cco t m ha p t an g i e e n d o T m li a st i l :s n a s o d o u n e i l ai . o b o et: o v n ee t n h him o a f u s el op N t ' e l a n i c h e e n r t f D t e h c aamt i wards went with Eliston, whose Fidus Achates he was for a great number of years, to the Olympic, us manager, and con ducted the theatre during the period of Robert Williams's engagement at Drury-lane; and on Mr. Elliston's assuming the lesseeship of that theatre, in 1819, Russell was again his confident and director for the first three years. Subsequently, lie took the Brighton Theatre, which he held fur eight or ten years; and, at one time, was believed to be in somewhat affluent circumstances. In the last two seasons before the death of Morris, the Haymarket Theatre proprietor, Mr. Russell was engaged as stage-manager, and his last profes sional effort as a director was in 1833-9, when Mr. Bunn appointed him as stage-manager at Drury-lane. On the retirement of his old colleague. Dowton, from the stage, Russell played Jerry Sneak t o D ow t on ' s M a j or s turgeon, at the Italian Opera in 1840, and much interest was excited by the appearance of the two theatrical patriarchs acting toge ther once more. His own farewell benefit took place at the Haymarket in th?. season of 1842, on which occasion he ap peared as Jerry Sneak, and delivered an address. The pro ceeds of this benefit were lodged in the hands of a large dis counting firm, well known,.through whose insolvency, a short time afterwards, Russell lost the whole amou n t. H e was not attached to e dramatic fund of Drury-lane, from a mis taken notion that he should never require its aid. As was stated, he appeared in 1795, and in the school of comedy was the oldest actor on the stage. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE GRAND DUCHESS STEPHANIE OF BADEN.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester gave a grand dinner at Gloucester House, yesterday, to her Royal Highness. The company to meet the Grand Duchess consisted of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, his Serene High ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Austrian Ambas sador and the Count ess Dietrichstein, Count de Pollow (Sar dinian Minister), Count Kielmansegge (the Hanoverian Minister), the Russian Minister and Baroness Brunnow, the Marquis of Winchester, the Marquis of Douglas, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clemen tins Villiers, and Baron Knesebeck.

The Duchess of Gloucester had afterwards an evening party. public in the ordinary course of proceeding until Tuesday next, when the prisoner will be brought up for further ex amination, and most probably be finally committed. With regard to the reports in circulation that there are other persons suspected of having been accomplice of liocker in the foal transaction, there is not the slightest foundation fur them. The police are solely endeavouring to complete the chain of evidence against him, and they have no suspi cion that he had any accomplice.

A deputation, consisting of the Members for Birmingham, Mr. Nichol', Lord Sandon, Mr. Cookson, and others, waited upon Sir Robert Peel, at the Treasury, on Saturday last, to lay before him the injuries the glass manufacturers were cer tain to sustain by the sudden removal of the duties. The deputation asked for a remission of the duty upon stocks in hand, so as not to compel them to export ; and, secondly, they required a temporary protecting duty upon foreign glass, while adapting themselves to the new circumstances of the trade. Sir Robert Peel, with whom was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Wood, of the Excise, and Sir George Clerk, received the deputation with the utmost courtesy, and listened to the remonstrance with great attention, and in reply to the first request made by the deputation, the fol lowing order has been issued : " Excise-office, March 5, 1845. "The Board have received instructions from the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to allow drawbacks on glass on the following conditions : "1. Warehouses at the cost of the manufacturers or dealers must be provided, and being approved by the Ex cise, put under our lock. Th ese ware h ouses to b e at the different manufactories, and in each town where we have a supervision. "2. That no glass be warehoused excepting under the same regulations as if for export. "3. That no quantity of crown or German sheet glass, less than 10 cwt., be received at the same time from any in• dividual. " 4. That each package be marked with the net and gross weight, and with the name and abode of the depositor. " 5. That the bottle on the manufacturing premises of such of the bottle makers as require it shall be taken account of and warehoused, or secured by the Excise. " 6. That on the repeal of the duty on crown, German sheet, and bottle glass, the quantities so under the Excise locks shall be delivered to the respective owners, precautions being taken to ascertain that such quantities correspond with those deposited. " 7. That so soon as the re-deliveries shall be completed, and the accounts have been examined and certified at the head office, the owners shall receive documents authorising them to claim the sums to which they would have been re spectively entitled by way o'f drawback on exportation, de ducting 25/. per cent. That on the sth day ofApril the stocks of plate-glass, whether in the rough, smoothed, or polished state, be taken ; and on all rectangular pieces of 6 inches by 4at the least, andinot less than 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of It 104. per square foot be allowed, and on such as is po lished and not 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of 4L 4s. per cwt. ;if unpolished and under 1-Bth in thickness, no allowance. " A letter, containing full instructions to carry into effect the above regulations, will be forthwith addressed to the several supervisors. " By the Board, GEORGE BALLARD." To the second request we believe no answer has yet been given, but we rather doubt the success of the application. CURIOUS WILL—John Moore, Esq., son of Arch bishop Moore, by his will, which was proved in Doctors' Commons, on Wednesday last, under 300,000/., which is the amount of the personal estate only, has left come interesting specific bequests and directions, of which we give the follow ing :—To Earl Howe he gives his equestrian bronze statue, in remembrance of his attached friend "Old Johnny" (the testator); to John Lewis Wvndham, Esq., he gives 5001. for "Auld lang sync ;" to Sir Hyde Parker (his messmate), a cup he won at the Weymouth regatta; to Spencer de Horsey, Esq., he gives his Reindeer yacht; to Mr. Slater, master of the yacht, 2001. ; to George Cooper, the late master, an annuity of 20/. for his life; and to Valentine Lewis, the coxswain, 5/. a year. Gives directions that he may be buried in the nearest churchyard to which he may happen to die ; his body to be placed in an oak coffin, which is to be tilled up with quick lime, but no leaden coffin, and that he should be borne to the grave by labourers, sailors, or stablemen (no hearse); and if he should die in London, to lie near his brother Charles. The will is in his own haadwriting, and he has added two memoranda— one is, that his charities should be continued for two years ; the other, that his favourite horses should be shot. He leaves his landed property in Essex to his godson, George B. Moore; his Calcraft estate to his nephew, John Moore; his house in which he dwelt, at Charles -street, and the whole of the furniture, he leaves to the wife of his brother Robert, for her own absolute use and disposal. The executors are the Rev. George Moore and the Rev. Robert Moore, clerks (the brothers), and Frederick Capes, Esq., the godson of the deceased. The deceased was the Registrar of the Province of the Archbishop efCanterbury, and Principal of one of the seats in the Prerogative-ollice, boctors' Commons, where the probates of wills and letters of administration are prepared and issued.

Carter held an inquest at the Rose and Grown, Riddlesdown, Surrey, respecting th e d eath of Jeremiah George Weaver, aged twenty, who was the driver of a four-horse carrier's waggon. On Wed nesday evening last, a b ou t s i x o ' c l ock, whilst wingproce along the road to war d s G o d stone f rom Croydon, at d pace, he was stepping from the shaft of the vehicle for the purpose of ascending a steep hill at Rid dlesdown, when, in consequence of the slippery state of the road, he missed his footing, and fell under the fore wheel. He endeavoured to save himself, but in turning round he again fell under the bind wheel, which passed over his head, crushing it to pieces, and causing instantaneous death. A gentleman who witnessed the dreadful sight proved that the occurrence was purely accidental. Verdict—" Accidental death." Motion made, and Question proposed::— " 3d.

The attendance of Proprietors was large. After the CHAIRMAN had adverted to the circumstances connected With the proposal to lease the line to the Midland Counties Railway, and other circumstances, The Secretary, Mr. Fletcher, read the report, which en tered with considerable, minuteness into the proceedings of the Company during the past six months. From the fre quent cheers which the statements elicited during the read ing, it was evident that the Proprietors were of opinion that the Directors had done their utmost for the benefit of the Company. The surplus balance being 7,858/., the Directors recom mended a dividend of four per cent. per annum, being 20s. for the 50/. shares, and 12s. for the 301. for the half-year, to be paid free of income-tax. This was unanimously-agreed to. A balance of 2,974/. 145. 4d. remains to be applied to contingencies. Mr. A. W. Daniel was re-elected a Director. The number of Directors will now be reduced to ten, but the form of keeping up the Board must be adhered to till the Act for ratifying the amalgamation of the Company with the Bir mingham and Gloucester be obtained. In the meantime the united companies will be managed as provided for by the terms of amalgamation recently agreed to. The business of the lease to the Midland Counties was then entered upon by the reading of the terms of agreement. The CHAIIIMAN,aft.er a few explanatory statements, calcu lated to show that the lease was mutually beneficial to the contracting parties, moved a resolution sanctioning the agree ment, and authorising the Directors to adopt the necessary measures for carrying it into effect. Mr. ACKEN, banker, suggested that an opinion in favour of non-Sunday travelling, as far as practicable, be expressed to the Midland Counties Company. This view was supported by several shareholders, but the matter was left to the Directors. The agreement as to the lease was then put and unani mously agreed to. Votes of thanks closed the proceedings. THE HAMPSTEAD MURDER. DISCOVERY OF THE WEAPON WITH WHICH THE DE CEASED WAS KILLED.—By the extraordinary exertions of the police, the stick, of which some mention has been already made as having been usually carried by the prisoner, Thomas Rocker, has been at length discovered, and in a most remark able manner. It will be recollected that on the post mortem examination of the body the surgeon gave it as his opinion that the wounds upon the head of the deceased had been pro duced by some blunt and not very heavy instrument. A shoe-maker's pincers found in the prisoner's room was at first supposed to be the weapon, but the surgeon thought it a most unlikely one. He thought a stick more probable. In quiry was accordingly directed to the habits of the accused, and it was ascertained from the evidence of his father and brother that, up to about three weeks before the date of Mr. Delarue's murder, he had usually carried a large and rather heavy yellow walking-stick, which he said he had left behind hint at the house of some friend. The police, however, thought it by far more likely that it had been secreted in some convenient spot until its services might be required, and accordingly every hedge and trench, and place, about the neighbourhood of the fatal spot has been examined, but to no purpose. On Thursday evening, however, In spector Shackell, of the detective police, received an intitna • tion that a young man in the employment of Mr. Rudd, a poulterer in the New-road, had found a large yellow walking-stick, covered with blood, secreted in the herbage at the side of one of the bridges in the Regent's Park. In spector Shackell went instantly to the person indicated, and at once received the stick and the particulars of its dis covery. Strange as it may appear, as an instance of apathy in forwarding ,the pursuit of justice, this young man had actually found the bloody instrument on the morning of the Saturday following the perpetration of the murder, and although the entire public of the three kingdoms have been ever since aware of the importance of such a fact being made known, lie has`suffered himself (it is said) to be dissuaded by his father from coming forward or giving any infermatiJn. The information received by the inspec tor proved to be i n a ll respects unusua lly c orrect. nhe stick had been thrust into the rank herbage or underwood close by the bridge in the Regent's-park, not far from Prim rose-hill. Inspector Shackell lost no time in waiting on the father and brother of the accused, to whom he showed the stick, which they at once identified as the one usually carried by Thomas Hocker, and the same of which he spoke when he asserted that he had left it at the house of a friend. The in spector then waited on Mr. Rawlinson, the magistrate, at Marylebone Police-court, to whom he privately communi cated his important discovery, as it cannot come before the N TO MUSIC SELLERS AND PROFESSORS.
