THE MODEL is now eompkte ; and in a dditi on to au ROOM almost endless variety of thaProved On Saturday morning, and througgAt the -entire day, 4.h* town of Hampstead was thrown introl alatiite of, intense ex-- 1 citement by a rumour, obtaining extensive cliciitatlon, ,that a gentleman had been found murdered in a ditch closely Id joining the spot where the murder of the unfortunate Mr. Delarue was perpetrated by Thomas Henry Hockey. Oa the reporter instituting inquiries he ascertained that the grounds for supposing a similar shocking occurrence had transpired in the vicinity of Hampstead were not altogether without foundation, as the body of a most respectably at tired man h a d been discovered under the following singular, and, to say the least of them, suspicious circumstances :—lt appears that between three and four o'clock on Saturday morning, police-constable George Morphett, 20; 5, who wad on duty, was proceeding down the New North-road, and on arriving at the field adjoining the Haverstock-field, where Delarue was murdered, and between the Swiss Cottage Tavern and West-End-lane, he discovered what at first ap peared to be a large bundle lying in the ditch passing along the hedge. On closer approach he discovered it to be the body of a man completely doubled up, and lying face down wards in the ditch. On examination he found that he was quite dead, and that blood had been issuing from the nose and mouth. His hands were full of mud, but there did not appear to be any external marks of violence except that the face appeared unusually swollen. The policeman gave an alarm, and, with assistance from the Swiss Cottage, the body was at once conveyed to the Yorkshire Grey, and afterwards placed in the dead- house which had been previously occu pied by the body of the unfortunate Delarue, and where it was searched and minutely examined by Mr. Gower surgeon, of Hampstead, who was called in. The deceased is a man of most respectable appearance, apparently about forty years of age, about five feet three inches in height, of stout build, having light hair and small whiskers rather tinged with grey, dressed in a brown Petersham wrapper with side-pockets, a black cloth waistcoat with figured silk buttons, blue doeskin trousers, a black-figured cashmere long-fronted stock, blucher boots, with leather straps at tached to the trousers, the right one bei ng broken. His shirt is of-long cloth, being spotted with pale blue spots. All that was fcund on his person was sixpence in money, a papier-mache snuff-box, and a pocket handkerchief. The only circumstance likely to lead to the deceased's identity is that he has the initials T. G., in Indian ink, pricked into the skin of the back of his left hand. From the general appear ance of the deceased, it is the impression that he has been hocussed, and what renders the circumstances more suspi• cious is the fact that no hat was found near deceased, and although the police have made a minute search in every direction they were unable to discover it. Information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the Coroner, who has deemed the circumstances of the case sufficiently suspicious to order an immediate post mortem examination of the body. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Throughout Sunday, as might have been anticipated, from the report obtaining extensive circulation that the body of another man had been found (supposed to have been mur dered) in a ditch, at no great distance from the spot wiser. the murder of the unfortunate Deism, was perpetrated, a vast number of persons visited Hampstead, and the Yorkshire - Grey was inundated by those who were desirous of obtaining a sight of the body o f th e d eceased man. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon a respectable man, who gave his name as John Drury, 15, Boswell-court, Clement's-inn, ac companied by an almost frantic female, applied to Mr. Neal, the landlord of the Yorkshire Grey, for permission to see the body, as from the description of the deceased in the news papers, but more particularly on account of the initials T. G. being marked on the back of the left hand, he was con vinced the body was that of his friend, and husband of the female in his company. Mr. Drury was shown the body, and at once announced his fears to be confirmed. He identified the deceased's person as John Cunningham, tailor, of No. 24, Holywell-street, Strand, and stated that he had been missed from home since Thursday morning last ! and nothing had been heard of him until his description had been read in the papers. He has been in the habit of staying out very late in company and drinking freely, but he was never heard to threaten to destroy himself, and his being in the vicinity of Hampstead could not be accounted for, as he had no business that way. In accordance with the direction of the t)oroner a post mortem examination was on Sunday made 'of the body. The analysation of the contents of the strenach was being pur sued last evening, but the result 119.: i not transpired. On ex amination of the brain and ether parts of the body, it is stated that there was unt'aing found at all to account for death. The brain wag particularly healthy, therefore the de ceased could not have died from apoplexy from drunken ness, or any cause of that kind. The opinion still gained ground, up to Sunday evening, that the deceased man had been poisoned. Although minute inquiries have been insti tuted by the police the deceased's hat has net been discovered, nor has any one been found who can speak to having been in deceased's company on Friday night. Inspector Grey. however, fancies that he is a man he met about one o'clock on Saturday morning in the Finchley-road, but if he is the same person he had his hat on then. • 61c1. in til : evi roo office o p f gr. 1 44 AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS Machin' es exhibiting the latest discoveries in arts and mann raettzes, there are working models of a Bradford, a POWER LOOM troril a BLOND LACE MACHINE, ei z - Z — "L'e ter weaving cotton velvet, a maahine for making patent 'A., a stocking frame from Nottingham, &c.

There are very late accounts received from Rio Janeiro to-day, and we are sorry to find by the contents of the com mercial letters that the difficulties in the way of the con struction of a treaty with this country upon a more liberal basis than heretofore desired, are as great as ever. At the same time, it is mentioned in some of our accounts that at heart the Brazilian merchants were not at all pleased by being compelled to throw themselves into the arms of the Germanic Confederation, as they have, from the first, been customers of ours, and found us, as they say, honest and liberal. It is in vain to expect any alteration in the tariff now for some time to come—at least this is the im pression in mercantile circles in the City, and much indeed is it regretted by all parties having intercourse with the Brazils.

By the present arrival from Rio Janeiro we do not find that much specie or a very valuable cargo has come to consignees, one of the early indications of an interference with the extension of intercourse, the result of the unwise policy that has been pursued by our present Ministry in keeping up all but prohibitory imposts upon the staple of the Brazil:—Sugar. The state of trade at Rio was not of a very satisfactory nature. Exchange 243 . The markets for the Public Securities have been rather tranquil to-dav, and not a large amount of business has been in progress. in the Railway Share Market, however, a great deal of business has been transacted. An improvement in Consols fur the Account to 99 1 ,E has taken place, and to 93% for transfer to-morrow. The New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have risen to 1014 %; Exchequer-bills to 575. premium ; and Bank Stock to 211. Spanish Three per Cents. have only been quoted at 42% 4 this morning, with a trilling amount of business in progress. The Passive Bonds were flat at 8 1 4. Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. have been sold at 991 A ; the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., at 63%; the Four per Cents., at 98 ; Mexican Five per Cents. at 36% and %; and Portuguese Converted at 67%.

A grand dinner was given at the Trianon, followed by the play of the Diserteur, performed by the com pany of the Op6ra Comique. At the conclusion of the per formance, their Majesties, the Princess Adelaide, and the Duke of Saxe. Weimar, returned to Neuilly, where the Duchess of Orleans had preceded them in the earlier part of the evening. The Manheint Journal gives the following extract of a letter from Coburg, dated May 11 :—" An English courier, who arrived here some days since, has brought intelligence that unless some unforeseen obstacle occur, Queen Victoria will arrive here on a visit in the course of the ensuing month, with her consort Prince Albert, Preparations are already being made at the Court for their reception." It was rumoured at Paris that her Majesty will also visit the King and Queen of the French at St. Cloud in the course of the summer.

Simpson and Frear, John Barber, Esq., Derby. John Huish, Esq., This Company hai been formed for the purpose of making a rail• way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland. The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to ,Uttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) not included in any other project. A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlemen having residences near it, and the land owners generally. The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus connected will be as follows : Length of fly Derby Saving. present route. and Crewe. Miles. Miles. Miles. From Derby to liVerpool (by Derby and Birmingham and Grand Junc tion Railways) . From Derby to Liverpool (by Shef tlekl and Manchester) From Derby to Ireland (by Derby and Birmingham and Grand Junc tion, with 138 miles of Sea) •• • • 227 228% 48% From Derby to Ireland (by Sheffield and Manchester, with ditto) „ „ (by Crewe and Holyhead, with 64 miles of Sea) .. .. • • • And as contrasted with the Trent Valley Route : From Derby to Liverpool (by Tam worth, Trent Valley, and Grand Junction). From Derby to the Potteries (by Trent Valley and Potteries scheme) 61 36 25 The traffic thus opened for the manufactures of the Potteries, and the extensive mills and works throughout the Staffordshire portion of the line, is of a highly remumerating character, and Capable of large development of General Traffic also, and especially in Corn, Malt, Coal, Clay, Lime, Slates, and Plaster, the amount has been ascer tain to be considerable ; and it may be added that by the existing and projected lines branching westward from Crewe, this line will afford a direct and most useful communication between the Midland Counties and the mineral districts of North Wales. An arrangement has been ;made with the Grand Junction Com pany, whereby their friendly co-operation has been secured, and they have agreed to contribute one-third of the required capital. One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be of very limited amount) will be - allotted to parties giving unexcep tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares elicited to any member of their body shall in no ease exceed two hundred. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per antuffn on all deposits and calls, from tine of payment until the opening of the flop. Applications for Shares may bp made in the fillbjoined form, to the Solicitors, and Mr. Eyre, and to Messrs. Earp and Son, iiiharabrokers, Derby.

ON ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLES, TAILORING, WOOLLEN-DRAPERY, and OUTFITTING ESTIBT,ISII3fENT, 29, LUDGATE-lIILL, SAMUEL, BROTHERS, Proprietors, We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a greater saving to the public in the article of dress, than has ever yet been realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to which publicity is now given —a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, because, while it realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as it will be upon the most honourable principles. We will now state in what thenovelty consists ; although simple in its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every variety of garnient—each and every Cloth, Cassmere, Doeskin, &c. being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being the same as would be charged upon the purchase of the material by wholesale. We shall explain to our patrons the exact quantity that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This system, as a trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate, will effect a saving of fully one-third of the expense of the articles re quired in Gentlemen's dress. _ The peculiar adyantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, may be practicably exemplified as follows: The T average quantity of Cloth fbr a Coat is IN yards, suppose that selected be Bs. per yard, the material would cost 145., our charge for making and trimmings would be 18s., thus a really good serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be made to measure fbr 325. Again, suppose the Cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, the material would cost 215., our charge would be 20s. for making and trimmings, and thus a first-rate Coat made to measure and com pleted in the best style will be obtained for 415., few, if aay, charge less than 50s or 525. for the same article. The same saving will be effected in every description of Clothing. Our charge for making and trimming a Coat for Cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s. and for the higher price Cloths 20s. In quality of cloths, variety of patterns for Trousers—richness and novelty in designs for Vesting., we flatter ourselves that we have a stock that will please every beholder.

ANOTHER SUSPICIOUS CASE. An occurrence, which has caused a great sensation, has just taken place in Hampstead. It appears that, on Tuesday week last, a fashionably attired young female, accompanied by two persons in the garb of gentlemen, arrived in a cab at the house of Mr. Allen, tailor, in High-street, Hampstead, and engaged of Mrs. Allen some ready furnished apartments she had to let, the lady passing as the wife of one of the supposed gentlemen. The gentlemen visited her together once or twice, the last visit being on Wednesday last. From the period of their departure up to Friday morning, between three and four o'clock,_ Mrs. Allen never heard or saw anything of the young female; she was then awakened by hearing loud screams, and on proceeding to the young woman's apartment she discovered the door locked. The screams continuing, she had it forced open, and the unfortunate female was then die covered lying on the bed in strong hysterics, and a newly born child lying near her, quite dead, and turned neatly black. Mr. Gower, surgeon of Hampstead, was instantly sent for and attended, and the female, whose m.me has been discovered to be Caroline Gaids, and her age 22, recovered her senses for a short period, and on being ques tioned as to where she had obtained some bottles of medicine found in the room, she admitted that they bad been pro vided for by her friends who brought her there. She became worse and worse, and died about eight o'clock the same morning. After death, singular to relate, Mrs. Gower, the wife of the surgeon who had been called in, same and took away the bottles of medicine just alluded to, and by some means or other the parties who had brought the deceased to Hampstead were made acquainted with the death. They gave directions for the immediate interment of both mother and child, adding at the same time to the un dertaker that money was no object, so that the burial could be promptly effected with secrecy. Within a few hours of death the body of the female turned to the same black line as the deceased child, and on another medical man being called in, he expressed his opinion that the deceased had been destroyed by the administration of certain mixtures taken to procure abortion. These circumstances coming to the knowledge of Hunt, the summoning officer, he lost no time in making the coroner a cqua i n t e d therewith, and Nr. Wakley, having understood it to be the determination of the parties to bury the bodies on Sunday, issued a warrant to Inspector Grey, of the S division, to prevent the funeral taking place, should it be attempted. He has also issued his warrant to Mr. Lord, the surgeon, of Hampstead, to make a post mortem examination. The parties concerned have been traced, although their right names have for the present been withheld. There are also some other parties whose conduct is highly culpable in the affair; and it is asserted that not only had the bottles which had contained the mix tures taken been disposed of, but a considerable sum ofmoney known to be is possession of the deceased has also disappeared. MADAME ANN♦ Tun.LoN.--We regret to hear that the indisposition of this lady still continues, and that at pre sent great uncertainty prevails as to the day on which she will agaia be in a situation to appear before the public. Her medical attendant, Mr. Yearsley, is of opinion that if she progresses as favourably towards recovery as she has hitherto done, she may possibly act on Wednesday next. The daily announcements of her appearance in the Enchantrais are much to be deplored both for her own sake and that of the management. _ DEATH OF MR. ROBERT HALFORD, THE COMEDIAN. —This well-known actor died suddenly, at a quarter to ten on Sunday morning. He had been at Drury-lane, the Eng lish Opera, the Olympic, and other theatres.
