THE ITALIAN BOY.

On Saturday Mr. Corder, vestry clerk of St
Patirs, Gwent-garden, who has been actively en-
gaged in obtaining. evidence against the gang of
" Resurrectionists, " who stand charged with " Bu. k-
ing" the Italian boy, came before GEORGE ROW-
LAND MiNstiun, Esq., at Bow-street, and stated
that the murder of the boy had been taken into
consideration by the Government, and the Secretary
of State for the Home Department had informed
him (Mr. Corder) that he (the Secretary of Stat,)
was pleased with the exertions which had beet!
used to bring the murderers to justice, and hi;
M.je,ty's Government had determined to offer 200/.
reward, and a free pardon, to any person who would
bring the parties concerned in the murder (except
those who actually did the deed) to justice.

Mr. MissuuLt. directed the clerk of the office to
advertise the reward in the newspapers.
Thomas, the superintendent of police, sa.d
that he expected to have some additional evidence
against the accused in the course of the day.
A Jew, named Divis, residing in Field-lane, Hol-
born, who said he was a salesman and dealer in
clothes, entered the office, and stated to the Mri-
gis!rate, that on Friday week, about half-past two
o'clock in the day, four men entered his shop, arid
two of them purchased articles of hirn. One of
them bought a pair of small-clothes, arid another a
smock-frock, worked in front. The man who pity
chased the pair of small-clothes left a pair behind
him in exchange, on which were marks of blood.
Mr. Thomas here observed, that one of the ac-
cused wore a smock-frock like the one described by
the above witness.

Mr. Missum, directed Davis and the police-
officers to go to Cleikenwell prison, and see if he
(D iris) could identify either of the prisoners its the
persona who had purchased apparel at his shop so
recently after the supposed murder.'
Davis proceeded to the gaol, and there recognistd
May arid Bishop as two of the four persons who
came to his shop and made the purchases. lie
could not speak to the other two prisoners.
At eight o'clock on Saturday night Mr. Girder
and Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Police, ap-
peered before Mr. Minshuli, and a long consultation
took place in a private room before they appeared
in the public office.
Mr. MINSIIULL observed to Mr. Thomas that he
thought they were now in the " thickest" pert of
the horrid affair.

Mr. Thomas observed that the facts certainly
thickened upon them, end he hoped the guilty would
soon be brought to justice. lie added that he had
been at the dentist's at whose shop the prisoner
May had sold the teeth of the boy for 12s. 6d., and
he produced the same in a box, which he handed
to the Magistrate.
Mr. MINSHULL said that the inquiry could not be
gone into further at that moment, and the evidence
which had been obtained must be brought before
him on Friday next, on the examinwion of the
parties concerned. Some other facts tran,pired, but
it was wished they should not obtain publicity, lest
they might operate to thwart the ewis of justice.

ALICE PAULET.—This long-expected novel
is now before the world. The rapid success of the author's
former work " Sydenham," has tempted him to introduce
his somewhat mischievous hero in the character of a mar-
ried man, that he might be enabled, according to Lord
13vRoN's phrase, to gain " admittance into funnies."
We know not, however, whether he will nut "flutter ame_
dove-cotes" too roughly.
