with gunpowder, and a considerable sum of money takers
therefrom. Suapicion alighted upon William GaAslla
whose tether, a machine ruler, occupies an office undesr ,
the same roof, and almost immediaaly over Mr. no-
rison's office. and George Lear, a companion of the

the robbery, he stated he was at the office in Red Lion-

of trousers belonging to the latter ; that they
afterwards went to bathe together, and, after bathing,
came homewards, when Gaskell lett him between
twelve and one, near St. Matthew's Church, and
(Lear) went hem.. From the elder Gaskell's
ace. tint it appeared his son left home between seven and
eight o'clock on Sunday morning ; returned home Ss
(fierier at one o'clock ; went out again about two ; r.
turned to tea between five and six ; went away again -
atter tea; returned a little after ten at night ; and then
went to bed. His Lather described him as a steady boy.
and stated that he was a teacher in the Sunday
at St. Matthew's Church. On Sunday, after diunera
he ro-ked his littler for Is. 6d., which she did not
give to him. On Monday morning he wei,t, to his
work as usual. When he he rd of Mr. Harrison's

office having been broken open, he was anxious to go'
down stairs and s•ee the effice, but his father
prey. nted him. The father, who was examined
toy Mr So,,ler, as a witness on behalf of his
eon, said Mr Harrson had been in the habit of
leaving his eittie, on a Saturday afternoon in charge
of a woman to be cleaners. and be thought there would
be opportunity tor a pt non to secrete himself in the office
between saturday aftern-on and Sunday morning. He
also said that Mr. Hai rison's premises hyd, some ;ears
before, been attempted to be broken open. and an in-
strument had b• en carried out of his (Goskeles) office,
to ifect an entrance. Of this, however, Mr. Harrison.
denied all knowledge.
Thomas i taniells, a boy who attends the Sunday
school at St. Matthew's Church, said he saw the Pri-
soner Gaskell at the school at about half past two o'clock
Sunday afternoon ; ne did not see him at church dA
the morning.
No part of the money abstracted from Mr. Harrison's
safe has yet bet n found. The prisoner. were remanded
to Saturday—Manchester Guardian.

DEATH OF THE Ray. DR. MooßE.—We have to an-
nounce the death of tie Rev. James Moore, LL.D, vicar of
the opulent and extensive parish of Sr. Pancras, which took
place on Friday, at his residence in Gower-street, after hold-
ing the living for nearly half a century. The demise of the
rev. rector, who is stated to have been in his 82d year, was
announced to the parishioners by the tolling of the bells of Nesr
St. Pancras, and those of the various district churches, and
as a mark of re,pect to his memory all the churches on Sun-
day last were hung with black cloth. Dr. Moore has been•
in bad health for some time past, and unable to perform any
public religious duties, occasioned, it is believed, from the
effects of a paralytic stroke, with which he was seized whilst
preaching at the New Church four or tive years ago. Not-
withstanding his affliction, the Rev. Gentleman preserved his
mental faculties, and at the period when the metropolis was
agitated about the white surplice question, and other alleged
innovations, he issued his prohibition to all the local clergy
under his control to indulge in them, and two curates were
dismissed for disobeying the order. The nominal value of
the living, which is in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of
St. Paul's, is 1,9104 but there are other advantages per-
taining to it. It is runn.ured that either the Venerable
Archdeacon Hale or the Rev. Thomas Dale, lkol h of whom are
canons of St. Paul's, will have the presentation conferred on
them.
At Maynoo'h the improvements under the new Par-
liamentary grant are surprising. Grand walks are now to be seen
where a few months ago stagnant pools emited their fetid smell ;

del, ware has been substituted for the pewter platter`."
