VEAL Judges of SODA WATER need not to be told that JILL its main excellence consists in the LENGTH, OF TIME during which it retains its life and pungency AFTER IS POURED OUT, and not (as many erroneously suppose) on e force with which it expels the cork. This latter is rather e characteristic of the commonest Soda Water, fur the obvious reason that the air is disengaged. whereas, by the peculiar principle of SCHWE PPE'S process, the Carbonic Acid does not escape with the cork, but, being thoroughly amalgamated with the water, remains as a valuable medicinal feature in their manufacture. The same observations will apply to their Aerated Lemonade, Potass and Magnesia Waters. • Pray observe the RED LABEL, over the Cork, representing their Siguatuse, as many of the other makers impose upon the public by fillinb " Schweppe's Bottles" with their own spurious Composition. . --- Branch Manufactories at BRISTOL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---WEDNusDAY. Sir J. Guan AI presented a f2,11110n froth the Grand Junction Railway Comp a ny. against the Uhl introduced by the Plesident of the Board of Trade, for the conveance of mails by railroad, praying that it might not be passed in its present state. Mr. 111 I LE:, presented a petition against certain clanses of the bill brought in for regulating the conveyance of mails by rail road. Also one from the guardians of the poor in Bristol, against certain parts of the poor-law bill. Sir R. PEEL moved the appointment of a committee, to con sist of the following members, to inquire into the plans and estimates for completing the buildings of the British Museum : —Mr. Estcourt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Hawes, Sir R. Peel, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Thornely, Sir P. Egerton, Mr. Compton, Mr. Ma rs h a ll, Mr. Hume, Lord Stanley, Mr. B Baring, Mr. Pease, Lord Sandon, and Mr. Planta.—Agreed to. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS' BILL. Sir H. PEEL was desirous to have some day fixed on which the controverted elections' bill would he certain of coaling on. It being a bill pecUliarly affecting the house, he had thought it would not be an unreasonalrle request to ask that some day should be appropriated to it ; but if that request could not be acceded to, he saw no suitable day until Wednesday, the 4th of July. Lord Joys RUSSELL said that there could be no doubt that the bill alluded to by the right hon, baronet was of very great importance, but no one knew better than the right hon. baronet the extreme difficulty of bringing o❑ orders of the day. He must express a hope (although he should make no motion on the subject, unless the house were ready to express their wil lingness to agree to it,) that after the commencement of the next month there would be an additional day devoted to the orders of the day, so that they might get through some of those bills.

(We are informed that the Wavertree Cricket Club took their second innings immediately after their first, and that when it was finished it was too dusk to play with any safety, and that the Liverpool Club took their second innings solely with the view, if possible, of finishing the match, which was not termi nated until twenty minutes past nine o'clock, therefore the score in that innings cannot be considered any criterion of their play; besides, two of their best batsmen refused to go in so late in the evening.] We learn from Cape of Good Hope papers of the 29th of April, that the mutineers of the Cape corps had been tried for rebellion, and for the murder of Ensign Crowe : they were found guilty, and ordered for execution. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Thursday the 14th instant, the members of the congregation of Baston Church, Derbyshire, presented their minister, the Rev. A. Barker, with a handsome silver pocket communion service, as a token of their respect and esteem, for his character as a Christian minister. The levee of Thursday was the most brilliant in the annals of English history. The varied dresses of the distinguished mem bers of the "extraordinary" embassies; the profuse display of stars, orders, jewels. &c., worn by the officers in the suite, gave an eclat to the scene very unusual in this country. THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER'S GRAND ENTERTAIN MENT TO HER 111 AJESTY.—Preparations are making at Glou cester House on a scale of great splendour for the approaching fete. Besides her Majesty and the a hole of the royal family being present, his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours. and the ambassadors extraordinary at her Majesty's coronation, have received invitations. APPOINTMENT.—The Rev T. Hutehinson, 8.A., curate of St. John's, has been appointed incumbent of the new (in, Harpurhey. ' • TRIOUTE OF REST'FOT —On Weatesdav the 13th instant. . _ ... the pupils of the Hass of lit.glish literature in the Free Gram mar School, Manchester, presented a handsome silver salver to the Rev. FL D. Jackson, with the following inscription :—" To the Rev. E. D. Jackson, 8.C.L., from his affectionate pupils of the Manchester Free Giaminar School." NEW ZEALAND. Mr. F. BA RING moved the second reading of the New Zealand bill. The bon. gentleman went into a lengthened statement of the object of the company with reference to which this bill was framed. The company's object was to purchase lands in New Zealand, and to improve the country. He blamed the govern ment for not having granted a charter to the company. He concluded by moving the second reading of the New Zealand bill. Sir G. GREY should vote against the bill ; and he begged leave to move, as an amendment, that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. Mr. H AWES said, the conduct of government showed a change of opinion which was scarcely consistent•with good faith. He had himself heard the noble lord (Lord Howick) say, it was not his wish to throw cold water on the project. He understood those words as conveying a sanction, and he was very much surprised to see the government now opposing the measure. Mr. GLADSTONE opposed the bill. It was a .subject which required more consideration than they could give to it at the preSent period of the session. Mr. NTA RD said. the house ought to suffer the bill to be read a second time, and that her majesty's government ought to be the last persons to oppose it. Lord How ICK said, he had some cause to complain of the manner in which his acquiescence to the measure had been stated. If he had given the slightest assent to the measure, he should have been the last man to stand up in that house and deny it. Each clause of the bill seemed, if possible, more mon strous than the oth-r. It was one mass of inconsistency from first to last. His hope was, that the house would not proceed with a bill so defective. Sir WALTER JAMES would oppose the second reading of the bill. lie did not think that the functions of government should be taken away from the native chiefs. Mr. VILLIERS thought the doctrines put forth against the second reading of the bill were most extraordinary. Nothing had been advanced during the debate which should prevent the noble lord from allowing the bill to go into committee. Mr. GouLBURN thought that colonization ought always to be carried o❑ under the superintendence, and subject to the con trol, of government. Extraordinary power ought not to be given to private individuals. The question was not one of detail, but of principle. Mr. P. HOWARD supported the second reading of the bill. Lord SANDON opposed the bill. Mr. PEASE thought the bill interfered too much with the independent rights of the people of New Zealand. Mr. BARING replied. The house then divided, and the numbers were—For the second reading, 32; against it, 92; majority against thesecond reading, 60. THE COPYRIGHT RILL. On the question, that the copyright bill be taken into further consideration, Mr. GLADsToNE expressed a hope that the hon. and learned member (Sergeant Talfourd) would postpone the bill to the next session. After a little conversation, the hon. and learned gentleman postponed the bill. Sir E. SUGDEN remarked, that there were several other bills lying on the table; and he wished that the hon. members who introduced them would follow the example of the hon. and learned member,and withdraw them. Mr. SMITH O'ButEN said, that he, as the mover of one of those bills—the sheriffs' (Ireland) bill, would withdraw it.— (Hear.) OBSERVANCE OP THE SABBATH BILL. Mr. PLUNIPTRE moved, that the bill fur the better observance of the Sabbath be re-committed. Mr. WA RD said, that after the excellent example which had been just set, he thought the hon. member ought to withdraw his bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, concurred in the request of the hon, member for Sheffield. The bill before the house was, in fact, uo more than a repetition of the present law on the sub• jest, merely increasing the penalties. Would any hon. member say, that the mere increase of the penalty would be effectual, or where a penalty of five shillings was at present, though specified by the law, not levied, would a penalty of twenty shillings be more rigorously exacted ? M r. PLUIVIPTR6 said, the bill would only prohibit idle drinking and tippling. Mr. IiAwES concurred with the hon. member for Sheffield. He thought that, by the exemption clauses, all public-houses would be closed. But was the hon. member just ? Would he shut up the club-houses ? (Hear.) "Am I," said the hon. member, " prevented from attending the club-house which I , may change to OL.i . sibOaelf l are.kladihen by the to will be closed by this bill, and Chat no man can drink there without being liable to committal for tipling. Mr. GOULBURN said, that, the hon. member certainly ought not to argue that the same laws should be enforced with respect to club-houses and public-houses. Captain PECHELL said, the hon. member, he thought, ought to introduce an exception in favour of the lauding of fish on a Sunday. Mr. WARD said, that, although he had already on that night expressed hiS opposition to the bill, he had not formally made the motion which he intended to make. He should then, there fore, move that the bill be read again that day three months. Mr. JEItVIS seconded the motion. He said that he, in com mon with every member of the house, gave credit to the hon. member for Kent for the honesty of his motives; but he thought the legislation he was introducing most impolitic. He had expected that the hon. member would have brought in some measure to prevent some specific acts. Such had been the advice of the hon. member for Tamworth ; but the honourable member, on the contrary, had brought in a general measure, and then sought to guard it by specific exemptions. The effects of this bill would be most prejudicial. What would become of furnaces, should it cot be permitted that they should be kept hot on the Lord's day, and should the lahour of many previous days in heating them be frustrated ? Should mining operations also be suspended on that day ? By this bill bakers would be pre vented front working on a Sunday; and thus, while one baker would be prevented from viola:frig the Sabbath, the wives of 20 or 30 men would be prevented front dressing themselves and going to church, as they would have to do what would otherwise be done at the baker's. Sir E. SUGDEN thought that bakers would not be prevented from doing their customers' business by the bill on the Lord's day. Mr. GnoTE said, the objections which he entertained towards the previous Sabbath bills applied to the present measure. Mr. A. WHITE said he should vote for the re -committal of the bill. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the house divided : the numbers were—for the re-committal, 75 ; against it, 53. The house th en wen t i nto committee on the bil. After a pro tracted and desultory discussion, no progress being made with the measure before the committee, it was resolved to report progress. The house adjourned at half-past two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from the 'Guardians of the Poor Law Union of St. George's, Southwark, against the new Poor Law. Also a similar petition from Ashton•under- Lyne. In presenting this petition the noble earl said, it was not true, as had been stated, that the Rev. Mr. Stephens, of that town, had used inflammatory language in regard to the Poor Law. The noble and learned lord opposite (Lord Brougham) had used language more inflammatory, if not trea sonable language, (Laughter.) It is quite untrue that I ever' made an inflammatory harangue to the people of Birmingham, as it has been stated. I never stopped in that great town longer than to change horses; nor did I ever saw, as it has been im puted to me, that I hope to see the day when the heads of kings should be made footballs for little boys to kick along the streets. (Loud laughter.) I leave to your lordship to say, whether this is my usual way of expressing myself on any subject. Lord LYNDHURST asked whether any account had been re ceived of the burning of a British steamer on the St. Lawrence, by way of retaliation. Lord MELBOURNE answered, that, as yet, he had received no official account. Lord GOSFORD presented a petition from the Bishop, Vicars- General, and others cf the Catholic Clergy of the District of Quebec, expressing regret at the outrages which had been coin• mitted in Lower Canada, and hoping, that the acts of a small part of the population would not expose the whole to punish ment. His lordship added, that, when the petitioners stated it was only a small portion of the inhabitants who were tainted with disloyally, he could bear testimony to the truth of the statement. The petitioners also stated, that they would view with abhorrence a legislative union between the two provinces, and in that respect also he thought them right. Lord BROUGHAM said, he hoped he should have the support of the noble earl, if he should call upon their lordships to avail themselves bf a clause in the Canada Bill enabling the Legisla ture to repeal the bill in the present session, and that the "dic tatorial mission" which had been sent out to Canada, where the inhabitants appeared to he so loyal, should be repealed. The report of the Irish Poor Law Bill was brought up. The bill was subsequently recommitted, and, after going through a number of clauses, the committee reported progress. Lord GLENEIG, in reply to a question from Lord Brougham, confirmed the accounts received respecting the determination of the Legislatures of Barbados and other West India Islands to abolish the apprenticeship system in August next; and his lord ship stated, that a similar resolution was about to be proposed by the Legislative Council of Jamaica.—Adjourned.

Mr. O'CoNNELL, seeing the Under Secretary for the Colonies in his place, would ask him, first, whether any report had reached him from the island of Barbados, and, if so, whether it was trite that the legislature- of that colony had passed an r.ct by which corn plete emancipation w as to be g iven to the ne g ro ap prentices from the first of August, 1838; and secondly, wheth er there was any probability that any other of the Blitisb colonies would follow the eXanapie u hi r 6 ha,l keen set them ?

The governor had, however, previously submitted resolutions to the council, allhough not in th e ir legislative capacity, and he was happy to say, that every member of that body was of opinion, that such a measure would be conducive to the best interests of society. (Hear, hear, hear !) After debates ou several other ins tiers, Sir S. CANNING moved fur the appointment of a select com mittee on the subject of the seizure of the Vixen. A long discussion followed, and the motion was ultimately lost by a r.•,.jurity of 16-200 to 181; majority 16. The an nouncement was loudly cheered. The house adjourned at 20 minutes pas one. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. Lotd ASHBURTON7 'after having presented a petition from Liverpool, on the subject of commercial protection, inquired whether any *Attention had been extended to the blockading of ports at Mexico and Buenos Ayres. Lord ME.cliociirfE answered that the subject had not escaped the attention of the government. Petitions having been presented from the General Assembly of Scotland, &c., for increased means of church accommodation, Lord MELBOURNE observed that the government had not seen any reason to alter its opinion on this subject; that there were many circumstances which rendered it inexpedient to pro ceed with any measure this session. His lordship afterwards said that he should propose the adjournment, on account of the coronation, to be from Tuesday till Friday. The poor relief ( Ireland) bill was again considered in com mittee, the proceedings in which occupied the remainder of the short sitting of their lordships. At the request of the Duke of WE c ciNGToN the qualification clause was deferred, in order to be considered on another even-' ing.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FnmAy. The lime for presenting the report on the Middlesex county court bill was further extended—namely, till July 6 Mr. H. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the General Assembly, Scotland, for the means of ex;.endirig church ac- commodation in Scotland, and consequently the religious edu cation of the people; but as it thus prayed for a giant of public money, it could not be received without the permission of the government, and that permission ❑ot being granted, the peti tion, after some conversation, was withdrawn. Lord J. RussEct., having been reminded by Sir R. Peel of his promise to bring forward, this season, some measure to re medy the state of destitution, as regarded religious education in Scotland, according, to the commissioners' report thereon, said that it had been impossible to bring forward any such mea sure this session, and that when he did bring forward a bill, it would be strictly limited to what he had heretofore staZed on the subject. Sir R. PEEL admitted that it would now be hopeless to pro pose anything on the subject this session, but begged to give notice that, next session, he should, independently of any course that might be pursued by the government, bring forward a proposition founded on the prayer of the petition. Lord J. RUSSELL. having moved that the order of the day for the second reading of the tithes Ireland bill have precedence of the other orders of the day, Lord ASHLEY proposed! as an amendment, that the house proceed with the first order of the day—the second reading of the factories regulations bill. After some spirited debate, in the course of which Lord ASHLEY, Mr. GOULBURN, and Sir R. PEEL, condemned the conduct and apathy of the government on this important question, the house divided—the numbers were, for the motion, 119; for the amendment, -111. The tithes Ireland bill was then read the sacond time, with out debate, and ordered to be committed on Friday next. The sugar duties bill was deferred till Monday next. Lord J. RUSSELL postponed further proceedings on the ecclesiastical duties and revenues bill for three months, alias for the present session.. The like operation was performed with the county courts hill; after which the other orders were disposed of.—Ad jourued. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATuRDAy. The Speaker took the chair to-day at twelve o'clock. A number of petitions in favour and against any additiona grant to the Church of Scotland were presented. Dr. NICHOLL postponed the further consideration of the re port on the Vestries in Churches Bill until Saturday next, on the understanding that the bill on that day was to take prece dence of the other orders. In answer to a question from Sir G. SINCLAIR. Lord J. RUSSELL said, on Monday next he should move the third reading of the Municipal Corporation (Ireland) Bill. And as he understood the sense of the house was to be taken against the bill on the third reading— Sir G. SINCLAIR.—Does the noble lord know that? (Hear.) Lord J. RussELL.—l have heard so. ( Laughter.) And, therefore, I shall move the third reading before any other order of the day on Monday. The noble lord then moved that the house go into committee on the Prisons' Bill. _ ColOilei DAVIES, agrleable to notice, called the attention of the house to the expediency of extending the system of separate confinement of prisoners both before and after trial. The hon. and gallant member at considerable length read extracts, and commented upon the report of the commissioners of prisons, but in so low a tone of voice that not a sentence could be heard in the gallery. Li•rd J. RUSSELL said, he thought if the house agreed to the bill in its present shape, it would afford him an opportunity of making much better regulations in prisons. It was difficult, however, to make any positive arcangements as to separate con finement; at the same time he begged to assure the hon. and gallant member that his suggestions should have the best atten tio❑ and consideration of the government. Mr, G►esoN expressed himself decidedly in favour of sepa rate confinement. - Mr. Bs►scoE was of opinion that if the government would order a prison to be erected near London for the adoption of the separate system, that it would he attended with great bene fits to the metropolis and the country at large. Mr. FIUME said, if men were not honestly disposed the_sil , e ,, nj system would do no good. ,• Eyery third person tArino - n ' ths pre 'be.en imprisoned for an offence, he could not afterwards obtain work, and therefore he resorted to his old practices. The only way to prevent the individual re turning to crime was transportation. It ►would he no use build ing a ❑ew prison, at great expense, to try the silent and sepa rate system ; for, as soon as the parties were released, they would again take to their old habits. Lord J. RUSSELL said, this bill did not refer to the subject of transportation. Its sole object was to improve the regulations of confinement in prisons. Colonel RUSHBROOKE said, he could bear witness to the effi ciency of the silent system, from many cases which had come under his own experience as a magistrate. The house then went into committee. Clauses 1, 2, 3,4, and 5, after a desultory conversation, were agreed to. _ _ On clause 6, authorising the government to i ssue Exchequer bills for the purpose of building and enlarging prisons being read, . _ Mr. HOME objected to the clause. He was confident that raising money for a such purpose on Exchequer hills was the most extravagant mode. Any sum of money might be borrowed on the security of the county rate, at a much less interest than whet must he paid on Exchequer bills. The hon. member at considerable length opposed the issuing of Exchequer bills for any such purpose as that contemplated by the bill. He should divide the house on the clause. Mr. WARBURTON opposed the clause. After a protracted discussion, in which Sir G. Grey, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Darby, Mr. Kemble, General Johnson, and other members took part. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the house divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it Majority The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. Adjourned. THE LATE DISCUSSION. A LETTER FRoM THE REV. HUGH M'NEftE, OF LIVERPOOL, TO THE REV. C. H. MINCHIN, SECRETARY OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE GREGG TESTIMONIAL. DEAR SIR,--I have much pleasure in complying with the request contained in your letter just received, and in forwarding to your committee £5, as. my contribution in aid of the funds already collected. I never participated in the apprehensions entertained by some of our brethren, with regard to the result of Mr. Gregg's enterprise. You may perhaps have been present when, during our meetings in April, 1 ventured more than once to predict that the Roman Catholic party never would allow Mr. Gregg to go fully into the subject of the confessional. The topics hinted at in their books for young people (Philothea, e. g.) — topics necessarily unintelligible to the young female; the questions which the confessor is instructed to put warily, and advancing as modesty will endure it, front the inure remote to the more direct; the trembling bondage in which the mind of the youthful victim is held, while uttering answers in much ig norance; until, in niatuter years, the chain of her moral degra dation is rivetted by the polluting consciousness that she stands betrayed before a fellow sinner, or the equally enslaving super stition which magnifies that fellow sinner into something super human ; these are subjects which, in the bands of such a man as Gregg. could not fail of terrific'effect. They required such a man. An ordinary man could not wield them. What is commonly called christian charity shrinks from the Augean task. We are so occupied in cultivating love in our bosoms, and among our fmiends, that few can now rise into the_ Godhero dignity of righteou s i n di gnat i on aga i nst t h e enem i es of and his truth. Th e persona l assurance necessary towards elevation is denounc e d as bi go t te d f anat i c i sm , a nd the elevation r itself is denounc e d as unhumbled impetuosity. dssuch Gregg must he prepared for such feeling sort of our spiritual and d evo t e d brethrek be grieved by th e unparap h ras i ng plank feeling s ness amongu in o t them e softer of his speech. will i own gentler e m a e d te Nay, it may eve n b e th a t some , making their ex perience the measu re o f v ital chtistianity, will be doubt his spirituality. t t e h s erear t‘ diversities of consider.the exhorta opßertaitt,iedeesa,r, shiyr, thelet u e s ene re e m e e p m tr b t e t. r that Le add to our faith valour aretenj as well as meekness. tion which calls upon us et t i o we shall see that Mr. Gregg has fault with him for want of as any of them can there quite as much cause thoAatviendtofautilnt find fault many fur want of valour be no finding fault on either side. meekness. But let Its of gentleness vou c hsafedto his dear brethren: Rather, as I doubt not, Mr. Gregg gives thanks to God fur the manifold so let them thank God for the rarer gift of boldness so etni nntlbestowed upon him. If there must be a preference, it would seem undoubtedly, in a minister of God, to be on the side of boldness; because the apostle, in imploring the prayers of the church upon his ministry, specifies boldness, and bold ness alone, as the quality to be asked for—" that 1 may open my mouth boldly, to m a k e k nown the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." (Eph. vi., 19, 2U.) Compare Acts iv. 29-31:—" Giant unto thy servants that with all bold ness they may speak thy word"—« and the were filled wi the Holy Gh ost, and they spake the word at God with boldness th ." I look upon Mr. Gregg as peculiarly fitted for the exigencies of the time, peculiarly qualified to use the language and manner suited to the party against whom he contends, and I thank God upon every remembrance of him.—l eta, dear sir, very truly and faithfully yours, Liverp oo l, 23 t h J ane, 1838.

The inhabitants of Wit hingtou were on Wednesday thrown into a state of the greatest alarm and excitement, by the report that a horrid murder bad been committed in that peaceful town ship. It appears that a female named Mary Moore, forty-eight years of age, the wife of Joseph Moore, a labourer, had been for some length of time employed by M rs. Chorlton, nut , • as au in-duor servant, but to attend the Mauch es t er S m i thfield market, and sell vegetables and other of the lighter arti c l es of farm pro duce. In the spring of the year she usually took the j ourney three times a week, but her other visits were made dependent on the quantity of goods in readiness for sale. On Tuesday she left her house about halt-past six o'clock in the morning, h av i ng with her a small reticule basket, containing a can, and an um brella and having disposed of the articles which she received from Thomas Hooley, a boy, fourteen years of age, employ e d by Mrs. Choriton, to drive the cart to town, she delivered him the empty baskets about eleven o'clock, told him that she was going to Brook-street, Oxford-road, and that from thence she would ride with him home. When he got there he could not see her, and after waiting some time, be left the place, and ar rived at his mistress's house about two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. James Mea, afarmer,living in Withington, who had known the deceased twenty years, was iu Moss-side-lane, leading fro Manchester, throu g h - nt Withington and Didsbury into Hahne, at ten minutes to two, when Mrs. Moore overtook him, and was evidently going float Manchester to Mrs. Chorlton's, whither she always went, before returning to her own house, to account for her sales and surrender her money. Mr. Mea walked with her down the lane, conversing with her about the state of the market, and particularly the price of gooseberries. She told him that she had a good market, an d h a d s old her goose - berries at threepence per quart. Mr. M ea was ta lking to her her about a minute, and she would have been at M rs . Chorlton ' s, or at l. own house, in ten minutes from that ti me , had she gone on a nd met with no misfortune. She bid hi m "good bye," and he lust sight of h e r i n consequence o f a b en d i u the l ane . She was a remarkably steady woman, not at all a ddi c t e d to liquor, and was at that time quite tree from intoxi c ati on , an d carried wit h her the reti c ul e b as k et an d um b re ll a , with which she had se t out in the mo r nin g . Sh e, h owever, did not reac h M rs . Churl ton's that night, nor the next day, and much apprehension for her safety was consequently excited amongst her friends. Mr. Sohn Brundrett, her brother-in-law, having heard, on Wednes day evening, that she was missing, went with William Leigh, a servant to Mrs. Chorlton, to search for her in the pits, lanes,• fields, culverts, and ditches in the neighbourhood. Soon after eight o'clock, M r . B run d rett noticed that the grass in a field about a hundred yards from Moss-side-lane, leading up Chorltou's, had been trodden down. There was a pit in the across which there was a private footpath to a farm-house occu pied by Thos. Eason, and as the grass had been much tramPle d around the pit, they suspected that the body might b e tb.,,ere - They tried the pit with grapne l s , b ut w i t h out success, and.inrci Brundrett, pursuin g th e t rac k w hi c h t h e trodden grass plesenle,.' shortly afterwards t oun d h er i n a di tch at the b ack part of tued pit, covered with water, lying on her face, with her be d towards one bank, and h er f eet to the b ank opposite. tier ,i s bead appeared to be much cu t on one s id e and ber bonnet a nd cap were awry. They g o t h er out, too k h e r i nto the mid, an d sent for the constable but as he was from home, in attendanc e upon an inquest, he (lid not receive the summons, and 00' therefore, conveyed her to her house'. Leigh examined her pockets. '!'hat in which she usually kept her market-money , and which was tied round her waist under the apron, contained nothing; but in a side-pocket, in which she kept her private cash, he found a purse containing two half-crowns and fou r shillings, and also twopenc e h a lfp enny . Sh e genera ll y ca rried somewhere near to this sum about her for her personal conve; nience: The path in the field in which the body was found would neither lead to her own home nor to Mrs. Charlton's - Neither the basket nor the umbrella were founds , Mr. Thomas Oilier, The Manchester police surgeon, yestetday made an ex amination of the body, and found two lacerated wounds on the scalp on the right side of the bead, above and behind the ear' The bones of the scull were extensively fractured, and driven into the brain ; and he was o f o pi n i on th at two blows bad been inflicted by some blunt-pointed instrument, and that death till. have been instantaneous. H e did not fi n d any appearanc es° sexual violence. There was something like a bruise mark oa the lower part of the abdomen, . but it was merely the cots; mencement of putrefaction. There w ere no ot h er ma rks o '. violence on the body. Some strange men having been seen Oa the morning and afternoon of Tuesday in the lane, playing a t pitch and toss, it was suspected that they were the murderers' and the police instantly commence d an act i ve search f or t hee,,, , and instituted the necessary inquiries, with a view to their an' prehension. Mr. Beswick, the head beadle, was deputed, svitt i Mr. Thomas, by the Boroughreeve and Constables, to this diffi cult service, adk besides eliciting t ou c h o f t h e f orego i ng infor mation, discovered that a Man named George Fisher was pass ing the corner of the Three-lanes on Tuesday morning, and a field close by found a large stick, which there can be no doubt is the instrument by which the murder was perpetrated.. Thi s weapon they secured, and it is now in their custody at the Town-hall. They also ascertained that William Leigh saw the men above-mentioned gambling early in the morning in Moss Side-lane, nice or tea yards from the gate leading into` the field where the body was discovered. One of them wore a dark velveteen jacket, and used his left hand in pitching and tossing. He was about five feet nine inches and a half high. Another wore a blue coat, and was about five feet six or seven inches high. The other two were sitting clown, so that as he was in a field, he could see nothing but their hats. The last time he noticed them there was about a quarter-past tvrelve, when he went to his dinner, and did not go that way afterwards. The same men were seen at half-past twelve, and a quarter-past two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, following the same occupation, by Robert airtirell, a servant to Mrs. Churl-- ton. He again saw them after this standing together in the road It appeared that on the same day, before dinner, they went to Mr. .Mea's farm to ask for some mowing, and made a similar application on the next day to Mr. Ileni'y Jack son, of Hough's Etid, and other persons. Mr. Mea, about an hour after they had been to him, saw a man get out of a plan tation on his land, and go across the fields. It is supposed that all the murderers took, this route, as the police were uuable to trace them from the place. The amount of money believed to have been taken from the deceased, from the quantity of pro duce entrusted 'to her, and the p r i ces obtained in the market Morgan, by other persons for similar arti c l es , was £3 55., i n her market p oc k et.

Wtitian) which she carried met four men on Tuesday, n ea r to the place where the murder was committed, and th e description which he gave of them answered to that of the men who were gambling in the lane. He stated that he knew one of them, and that he lived in Riga street, Hulme. Beswick also heard that they had on Thuriday applied for a job of mowing to a person name Holt. He there. , fore obtained the assistance of Mr. Holt, and Mr. Morgan, and sent them to the house in Riga-street, to tell the men they: bad work for them. Th e y were, however, not at home, but the:in quirers were informed that the men whom they sought were employed in the tunnel constructing from the Irwell to- the Rochdale Canal, near Water -street. On this Beswick, who knew that it would be useless to attempt to seize them there, took Green and Lipsett, two other officers, to the Commercial Inn, in Liverpool-road, and directed Mr. Holt and Mr. Morgan. to go to the tunnel, and tell the men that some gentlemen at' the inn wanted to engage them.

The men are all natives of Tar' porley, in Cheshire. The field where their victim was found, is a very secluded spot. The grass was much trodden down ne:-r the pit, as if the murderers had endeavoured to throw her there, and near the place where the body lay, it was in a simi lar condition, as if several pe rsons.had been rolling there loge": ther in a deadly struggle. fhe deceased had some grass similar' to that which grew by the side of the pit, clutched in her ban°. William Smalley Rutter, Esq.. and a jury, summoned fronV. the townships of Dulsbury and Withington, held an inquest on' the bode yesterday evening, at the Red Lion Inn, when mani of the above particulars were detailed, and Mr. Mea and other persons identified the prisoners, as three of the men whom they had seen. The inquiry, after the examination of some of the witnesses. were adjourned to Tuesday next. WI. J.
