service.

Mr OSBORNE said he wished to know whether it was
in a fit state to go to the Baltic ?
Lord PALMERSTON—Yes, to the Baltic, or anywhere
else, Ile said it was prepared to go anywhere, and perform
any service. With regard to the question put by the right
hon, gentleman opposite, he had to say that there
was an agreement on Saturday last that nothing
that had transpired should be made public.
Many reports had got out as to what had passed between
the Ministers, yet a breach of confidence of that sort, by
(whomsoever committed, was a yery different thing from a
ormal statement by a Minister in that house. (Hear,
hear.) The suspension of hostilities, he believed, would
expire on Sunday, and it' no other agreement should be
made by that time—if the belligerent parties has not made
some arrangements for peace, or with regard to the boun-
daries, and the suspension of arms was not renewed—
hostilities would recommence. Whenever the negotiations
were over no doubt it would be the duty of the Government
to lay the proceedings of the Conference tenors Parliament.
(Cheers.)
Mr BRIGHT said he did not suppose that hon. gentle-
men opposite were more anxious for peace than her Ma-
jesty's Government. Ho thought the noble lord would
get on much better if he told the house all he knew on the
matter, as the country was deeply interested.
Lord PALMERSTON said he had no doubt that was
the case. There was doubtless a great anxiety for con.
tinned peace, and he was aware, too, that the house must
feel a strong desire to know everything possible,
but he regretted that he was tongue•tied with
regard to details. He could only say that Government had
done everything possible to bring the belligerent parties to
an agreement, and he thought, if they did not succeed, they

should be able to show that it was not their fault. (Cheers.)
The motion for the adjournment of the L ouse, on witiieh
the above discussion arose was then withdrawn,

THE MURDER AT NORWOOD.

LAMBETH POLICE COURT-(TIIIS DAY.)

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS,

This afternoon at four o'clock the two labouring men
named Edward Turner and :oho. William Clarke, brick-
makers, apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in
the death of Lousia Dyer, whose body was found in a hay
field near the Anerley station, Penge-common, on Thurs-
day morning last, were placed at the bar.
Joseph Dunlop, inspector of the F division, said on
Thursday he was informed that the dead body of a female
had been found in the fields near Penge, and placed in a
stable at the Robin Hoed public-house. Be proceeded there
and found the bscly, which bore marks of violence upon
it. He communicated with the coronet., and be after-
wards apprehended Clarke on suspicion. He told the man
he was a police officer, and that he could answer his ques-
tions or not, as he pleased, but that which he said might
be used in evidence, He asked him if he had heard
of the body of the woman being found, in the hay-
field at Penge, and he replied " Yes, I have heard
of it." He said he was with the woman on
Tuesday last, but that he had left her at the canal bridge
about 7 or half-past. He denied having been to the Robin
Hood public-house, but said, when he left her, she went on
with led. He thea took him into custody on suspcion of
being concerned in the death of the woman, who was known
about Penge as a hawker. She was of drankea and dissi-
pated habits. He had examined the clothes of Clarke, but
found no marks or spots of blood on them.
Sergeant Thomas, of the A division, said he apprehended
Turner at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Penge. He told
him he was an officer of police, and in reply to questions
prisoner said he had just come from home. He said he
went away in consequence of a policeman speaking to him
in the backfield about the murder, and being chaffed by his
mates. He was aware of the finding of the body of the
murdered woman, and said he, in company with Clarke, was
with her on the 14th. He said he left them at the canal
bridge a quarter before nine, He wished Clarke good
night, , and then went on with the woman as far as
the Maple.road and left her. He denied going with the
woman and Clarke to the Robin Hood. He got back to his
lodgings about ten o'clock. He denied seeing Clarke after
he had left him at nine o'clock on Tuesday.

Mr C. Wood, surgeon, at Penge, said last Thursday
morning he was called to the Robin Hood, and in the stable
he saw the dead body of a woman. There were marks of
violence apparent. She died from suffacAtion. The appear-
ances indicated that she had been forcibly held down.
There not being any marks on the trachea would be ac-
counted for by the throat of the deceased being grasped by
the hand ; but even had there been pressure it would not of
necessity leave any visible mark internally or externally.
Police-constable 276 and another witness proved finding
the body

After some further examination the prisoners were re-
manded.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

The Letting this day at our Subscription Rooms was a
game of " cross purposes," horses in the Northumberland
Plate being up and down in the list of quotations in a re-
markable manner. Tottenham, who has for some days past
been a good favourite, opened at 10 to 1; but a strong de-
monstration was made against him, and he eventually de-
clined to 100 to 3 (taken and offered). Caller Ou was also
very unsteady, 25 to 1 being laid against her a few times.
Her stable companion, Borealis, was supported rather freely,
at prices varying from 100 to 8 down to 15 to 2; and for
money she closed a better favourite than either Sir Roger or
Found Again. There were several inquiries respecting
Limosina and Wharfinger, but Donnybrook was friendless,
offers of 100 to 6 against him eliciting no response.—
