The hon. 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. HA W ES 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. GLAbsToNE 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. WARD said, the house ought, to suffer the, bill to be rend a second titne,,and that. her majesty's government ought to be the last petsons to oppose it. I,ord Hns try said. he had some ono.e tn complain or the manner in which his acquiescence to the measure had been stated. If he had aiveu 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 abill go defective. Sir WALTER JAMES would oppose the second reading of the bill. He 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. Gotit.iiilits thought that colonization ought always to be carried on 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 SAN DON 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-I'or the second reading, 32; against it, 92; majority against thesecond reading, GO. THR COPYRIGHT BILL. On the question, that the copyright bill be taken into further consideration, Mr. GLAnsroNx 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 hill. • Sir E. SconEN 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 thetn. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN said, that he, as the mover of one of those bills—the sheriffs' (Ireland) bill, would withdraw it.— (Hear.) OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH BILL. Mr. PLUMPTRE moved, that the bill for the better observance of the Sabbath be recommitted, Mr. WART) 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, no more than a repetition of the present law on the sub ject, 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 s hilli ngs was at present, t h oug h specified by the law, not levied, would a penalty of twenty shillings be more ri;zoronsly exacted Rl r. U M 141 M said, the bill would only prohibit idle drinking and tippling. Mr. HAWES concurred with the hon. member for Sheffield. He thought that, by the exemption dallies, all public-houses would be closed. it ut was the hon. member, just 7 Would he ' shut up the club-houses ? (Hear.) "Am I," said the hon. member, "prevented from attending the club-house which I may choose to frequent ?" Let it be understood then by the labouring population, that the only house which they can resort to will he closed by this bill, and that no man can drink there without being liable to committal for tipling. Mr. Gour.ricaN said, that the hon. member certainly ought not to argue that the same laws should be enforced with respect to club-houses and public-Noses. Captain PRCHIILL said, the hon. member. he thought, ought to introduce an exception in favour of the landing of fish on a Sunday. Mr. WARD said, that, although he bad already on that night expressed his opposition to the bill, he had not formally made the motion which he intended to make. H e should then, there fore, move that the bill be read again that day three months. Mr. JERVIS 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 bon. member for Tamworth ; but the honourable member, on the eontrary, had brought in a general measure, and then sought to guard it by specific exemptions. The effects of this bill e-ould 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 labour of many previous days in heating them " r tie frustrated Should mining operations also be suspended on that day? By this bill bakers would be pre vented from working on a Sunday; and thus, while one baker would he prevented from violating 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. SCGDEN 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 then went into committee on the bill. 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 trne, 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 say, as it has been im puted to me, that I hope to see the day when the heads of kings should he 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. Laird LYNDHCRST asked , 4hether any account had been re ceived of the burning of a British steamer on the St. Lawrence, byway of retaliation. - Lord MELBOURNE answered, that, as yet, he had received no official account. Lord Goseoan presented a petition from the Bishop, Vicars- General, and others of the Catholic Clergy of the District of Quebec, expressing regret at the outrages which had been com mitted in Lower Canada, and hoping, that the acts of a small part of ate 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 disloyalty, he could bear testimony to the truth of the statement. he 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 of 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 GLENELG , in reply to a question from Lord Brougham, confirmed the accounts received respecting thedetermination 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. HOUSE OF COMMONS —TII URSDA T. i b ody Viscount S A N DO N presented a petition from a nume ro u s to the s of merchants and o th ers o f Li ver pool, in reference foreign commerce o f thi s co untry, but, from t he fe low t tune of ren voice in which the noble lord spoke, he was inaudible in the gallery. Mr.O'Cossim,r., seeing the Under ecretary for the Colonies any report had reached in his place, would ask him, first, whethers. S ecretary if' so, whether it was him from the island ( trite that the legislatur)fel3orthhaa(lt.c:(otlohne given to the negr o ar.vhad passed an act by which complete emancipat ion w as t 1838; and secondly, wh e th er prepuces from the first of Angus , that any other of the British colonies set . them . ? there was any probability' would follow the example which tiaillteen Sir GRORGE GRAY had !Mil satisfaction in stating, that, by the mail arr iv al that day, he had received an acc ount f rom Barbados, that the legislature in ait c o l o ny h a d passed an act by which complete and unqua lifi e d f reedom had be en granted t o the ' negro apprentices of that colony front the first of Auvust He had also receiv e d a s i m il ar account from i n h e c x ( t . . °lo ( n C y h o e r e (Cheers.) Kitt's,—(cheers)—where reso!utions had been had been adopted which, no doubt, by this time, where einlbodied in an act, to the same effect. (Cheers.) T h e accounts he had received front the West Indies also led hint contidchtly to be lieve. that the other colonies would very probably follow the example. (Cheers.) In Janmiza the legislative assembly had been called together on the 51h of the present month, for the purpose of carrying so desirable an object into cfrect. The governor had, howrver, previously submitted resolutions to the council, althou g h not in their legislative capacity, and he was happy to say, that every member of that body was of opinion, that sorb a measure would be conducive to the best interests of society. ( Hear, hear, hear l) After debates on several other matters, Sir S. CANNING moved for the appointment of a select com mittee on the subject of the seizure of the Vixen. A long discusAion followed, and the motion was ultimately lost by a majority of 16-200 to 184 ; majority 16. The an nouncement was loudly cheered. The house adjourned at 20 minutes pas one. ATIIF,N/EUNI MHE ANNUAL MEETING of-the PROPRIETORS of I the ATH ENAEUM will be held in the . LiwtA tty, on TUESDAY, the Tenth of July next, at Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon.

EAL Judges of SODA WATER need not to be told that LI, its main excellence consists in the LENGTH OF TIME during which it retains its life and pungency AFTER IT IS POURED OUT, and not, (as many erroneously suppose) on the force with which it expels the cork. This latter is rather the characteristic of the c.ommunest Soda Water, for the obvious reason that the air is disengaged. whereas, by the peculiar principle of SCHWEPPE'S process, the Carbonic Acid does tint escape with the cork, but, being thoroughly amalgamated with the water, remaiur as a valuable medicinal feature in their manufacture. The same observations will apply to their A&ated Lemonade, Potass and Marrnesia.,Waters.

It is a.mclancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly' poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, Obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9(1. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases.—gonorrhces, gleets , strictures. seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages. frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, serresy, and safety. The certainty with which they ere•continuall v administered can be attested by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious unison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not .unto remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours, and in a canner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, hut effect a complete cure. without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when . taken the disease has made its app earance it acts as a itqlltin preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, 'continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exeessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution b ecome enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.

GRA n presented a petituin front the Grand .lonetion Railway Company, against the bid introduced by the Ptesident of the Board of Trade, for the conveyance of !nails by railroad, raving that it might not be passed in its present state. Mr. Mir.F, presented a petition against certain clauses of the bill brought in for regulating the cot•Ve}'ance 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 co mm itt ee , t o 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 It. blebs, Mr. Thornely, Sir P. Egerton, Mr. Com i tton, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Haute, Lord Stanley, Mr. B Baring, Mr. Pease, Lord Sandon, and Mr. Planta.- - Agteed to. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS' BILL Sir R. PEEL was desirous to have some day fixed on which the controverted elections' bill would be certain of coming on. It being a bill peculiarly affecting, the house. he had thought it would nut he an unreasonable 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. I;ord Jorm 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 on orders of the day. He must express a hope (although be 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 hills. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. Lord ASHBURTON, 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 MELBOURNE 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 WELLINGTON the qualification clause was deferred, in order to be considered on another even ing.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. The time for presenting the report on the Middlesex connty court bill Was further extended—namely, till July 6 Mr. H. .IouNsToNE presented a petition from the General Assembly. Scotland, for the means of extending 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 not being granted, the peti tion, after some conversation, was withdrawn. Lard J. RussELL, 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 stated 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. 4 Lord J. RUSSELL, having move d th a t the ord e r of the nay for the second reading of the tithei Ireland bill have precedence of the other orders of the day. Lord ASHLEY proposed, as an amendment, that the bruise 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. GOELEURN, and Sir IL PEEL, condemned the conduct and apathy of the government on this important question, the house aivided—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 .1. RussELL postponed further proceedings on the ecclesiastical duties and revenues bill fur 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 journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATunDAI:'., 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. Nlctiott. postponed the further consideration of the re port on th e V es t r i es i n Ch urc h es Bill un til 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-4 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. Colonel DAVIES, agreeable 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 sentepce could be heard in the gallery. Lord J. RUSSELL said, be 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 arrangements 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 tion and considerdtion of the government. Mr. GIBSON expressed himself decidedly in favonr of sepa rate confinement. Mr. BRISCOE was of opinion that if the government would order a prison to be erected Dear London for the adoption of the separate system, that it would be attended with great bene fits to the metropolis and the country at large. Mr. HUME said, if men were not honestly disposed the silent system would do no good. Every third person tried in London every year it was proved had been in prison a few tnonths pre viously. When a man had been 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 new 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. Ilusser.r. said, this bill not refer to the subject of transportation. Its sole object was to improve the regulations of confinement in prisons. Colonel RUSIIBROOKE 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 issue Exchequer bills for the purpose of building and enlarging prisons being read, Mr. Hums objected to the clause. He was confident that raising money for a such purpose on Exchequer bills was the most extravagant mode. Any sum of money might be borrowed on the security of the county ra t e , at a much less interest than what must be paid on Exchequer bills. The hon. mem ber at considerable length opp o s e d th e i s suing of Exchequer bills for any such purpose 83 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 LITTER FROM THE• REV. HUGH M'NEILE, 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 me etings in April, I 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.1 — topics necessarily unintelligible to the young female; the questions which the confessor is instructed to put warily, and advancing as modesty will endure it, from the more 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 matuter 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 hands of such a man as Gregg. could not fail of terrific effect. They requited such a man. An ordinary man could not wield them. What is commonly called christian charity shrinks from the Aegean task. We are so occupied in cultivating love in our bosoms. and among our blends, that few can now rise into the heroic dignity of righteous indignation against the enemies of God and his truth. The personal assurance necessary towards such elevation is denounced as bigotted fanaticism, and the elevation itself is denounced as unbutribled impetuosity. Gregg must be prepared for such feelings among the soft er sort of our spiritu a l a n d d evo t e d b r ethren. Some of them wi ll be grieved by th e un p ara ph r asing plainness of his speech. Nay, it may even be that some, making their own gentler ex perience the measure of vital chtistianity, will be tempted to doubt his spirituality. But, dear sir, let us remember that there the exhorta tion which calls upon to to are " diversities o f operations" by the same spirit. Let us consid er add to our fa ith !aloft,- areteri) as well as meekness. And w e shall see t hat Mr. Gregg has quite as much cause to find fault with many for want of valour as any of them can have to find fault with hint for want of meekness. But let there be no finding fault on either side. Rather. as I doubt not. Mr. Gregg gives thanks to God for the inanifold gifts of gentleness vouchsafed to his dear brethren; so let them thank God for the rarer gift of boldness so emi nently bestowed upon him. if there omstiniei.s ti t e, nit i s om t f .. p it r et e h f r ep e e n ni c t ; t:hr i es t IBide , 1 1. seem boldness;ti d o h u e b e t e e u d s l , thee in apostle, e specifies lo)Idne - ss, and bold salitutvintoista, asked for— " that I may open his known the myst ery r nm tf ey t s the sni e a (lu,nthe, church beosl Coldly, lt i y o l,e n t oci h it s a m .l e a , n ivi z , t t m t b o a s speak."sarlor p,i bonds, ,h. that. thi eqr o e t he g maycos:pp, speak /7/ . , h /d ie ly h , Acts iv. 29-31 :—" Grant unto thy - sery v- ; l l . l;tstbal s.7 % . v ) ith all boII 'HESS they tnay speak thy word"--." and th were filled with the Holt: Gh os t , an d they snake the word of God with holdueos."

ATROCIOUS MURDER AT WITIIINGTOIC The inhabitants of Withington were 00 Wednesday thirteen into a state of the greatest Maim and excitement, by the report that a horrid murder bad been ceneeitteri in that peacel'ul ship. It appears that a female named Mary Moore, forty-,'eta years of age, the wife of Joseph Moore, a labourer, had ILeen for some length 01 time employed by Mrs. Chorhon, not as an inoloor servant, but to attend the Manchester Smithfield market, and sell vegetables and other of the lighter articles of farm pro duce. In the spring of the year she usually took the journey tbree 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 half-past six o'clock in the morning, having with her a small reticule basket, containing a can, and an um brella; and having disposed of the articles which she received from Thomas Hoolev, a boy, fourteen years of age, employed by Mrs. Choriton, to drive the cart to town, she delivered film 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 be could not see her, and after waiting some time, he left the place, and ar rived at his mistress's house about two o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. James Mee, a farmer, living in Withington, who had known the deceased twenty Years, was in Moss-side-lane, leading from Manchester, through * Withington and Didsbury into Hulme, at ten minutes to two, when Mrs. Moore overtook him, and was, evidently going from Manchester to Mrs. Chorlton's, whither l t e h . wataaltkeerai of ties she always went, before returning to her own house, to account for her sales and surrender her her down the lane, conversing market, and particularly the price of goose d beeries. She told , him that she had a good market, and had talking t r a gr e s r e a -b b e n r ,i r t ie a s• w m i o tti ne ‘e . r about t he I Chorlton' s,. or at her minute, and she would have been at Mrs. at threepence per quart. Mr. Mea was lki met with no misfortune.

The last time he noticed them there was about a quarter-past twelve, 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-rea r two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, following the sam e occupation, by Robert Gurdrell, a servant to Mrs. Cheri ton.

Mr. Mea, about are hour after they had been to him, saw a man get out of a plan talon bat his land, and go across the fields. It is supposed that . all the murderers took this route, as the police were unable 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 prices obtained in the market ley other persona for similar articles, was £355., which she carried in her market . pocket. Yesterday morning Mr. Keswick re ceived information that a person named William Morgan, bad met fonr men on Tuesday, near to the place where the murder was committed, and the description which he gave of them answered to that of the men who were gambiing 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 Thneeday applied for a job of m owing to a person name Holt.

Mr. Besvrick searched the house in Riga-street, Hulme, and found two baskets and an umbrella, but we have not heard whether either have been identified as the property of the murdered woman• In the trowsers' pocket of one of them, be also discovered a piec e of ribbon, which there is some probability, was a part of th e poor creature's cap string. The men are all natives of Ter porley, in Cheshire. The field where their victim was found, is a very secluded spot. The grass was much trodden down ar it the pit, as if the murderers had endeavoured to threw her t . i there, and near the place where the body lay, it was in a ai n ' t ' ' , lar condition, as if several persons had been rolling there toga' ther in a deadly struggle.
