THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.-It appears there ill
• determination on the part of the governmest to dispose of
the chime male by the attorneys for 'darning and his ails,
Mr. Busts and Mr. Solomon', for conducting their defence,
to be paid out of the proceeds of the jewels and other pro-
perty sem ,t 1 by the polies, and now in the hands of Inspector
Yates. On Saturday Mr. Sinus, the attorney for Maumee,
received from Mr. Manisa letter, requesting him to furnish
him his bill of costs for hie consideration, previous to • settle-
ment, • similar letter being received by Mr. Solomon. It
is understood that none of the property will be sold by the
government, to prevent a revival of the atrocities committed
by their ezbibition to the morbid curiosity of the public by
the caterers for such amusements, but that the whole will be
otherwise (Shrilled of. The lords of the treasury have, we
eaderstand, awarded to Mr. Mom, the superintendent of
the Edinburgh polies, the sus of 301, and to one of his
