SUSPECTED MURDER.

A circumstance which has given rise t 4 much conjecture
is related by two young women, sisters, of the name of
Knox, who are employed in the spinning-mill of Messrs.
Clarke and Plummer, at the Ouseburn. Yesterday. even-
ing week they paid a visit to some friends at 'Fmkler-row, and
left on their return to Newcastle between ten and eleven
o'clock in the evening. The young women proceeded by the
waggon way till they reached Ravensworth-wood, through
which there is a regular path. After walking about a hun-
dred yards in the wood, and when near a hollow part of it,
they distinctly heard a number of voices, and a man passed
them on horseback, but took no notice. On getting nearer
to the noise they heard one man say " Deliver," and a se-
cond, "He is not willing." Some heavy blows were also
struck, which the females positively declare they heard, after
which another, voice exclaimed, "Oh dear !" They were
dreadfully agitated, but pursued their course, when they
were passed by two men, and immediately afterwards by
three more, none of whom molested them. The night was
rather dark, and before they had walked many yards further
the eldest female trod upon the body of a man ; she saw his
face, he appeared to be dead, and was dressed in dark
clothes ; her sister was also an eye-witness to the same.
Still more alarmed, they hurried out of the wood, and
reached home in safety, but did not make the circum-
stance known till the following day, when an examination
of the affair took place before the Magistrates, but nothing
further has transpired to throw additional light upon the
matter, although every exertion has been made. No per-
son in the neighbourhood of Ravensworth is missing, nor
can any trace of the body be discovered. If a murder,
therefore, has been perpetrated, the murderers have con-
cealed their victim, and he must have been a stranger.—

DETERMINED SUIOLI.E.--CORONER'S INQUEST.
—.Yesterday evening an Inquest was held in the Board-room
ofthe Middlesex Hospital before Thomas Stirling, Esq., and
a respectable Jury, to inquire touching the death of Monsieur
Henry Icard, aged 60, a native of France, which was occa-
sioned by his throwing himself out of a two-pair stair-window,
at his residence, Charlotte-street, Portland-place. The par-
ticulars of this case have already appeared, and, from
the evidence adduced, it seems that the deceased laboured
under extraordinary delusions. The Jury returned a verdict,
" That the deceased throw himself out of the window, being
in a state of temporary derangement."

DARING OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY.—The fol-
lowing information has been given to the police of the daring
outrage and robbery committed on Mr. G. Gibson, of No. 10,
Everett-street, Russell-square, by five men and a boy :—lt is
stated that about noon on Saturday last he was crossing a field
about half a mile beyond Elstree, Herts, through which they
had directed him as the nearest way to Barnet, saying that they
were going the same way. He resisted oite of the robbers and
struggled with another, but one of them presented a pistol at
his head, and another robbed him of his watch, a silver hunter,
with a hairchain and gold slides. The man appeared between
35 and 40 years of age, and the boy between 17 and 18, and
they wore smockfrocks, with coloured neckerchiefs, and straw
bands round their hats. They are supposed to have been part
of an organized gang, " thimble-rig men," who frequent fairs,
races, and other places to fleece the unwary by means of the
" pea and thimble" trick, or commit any other depredations.

MANNA OF MOUNT SINAI.—Mr. Bove, formerly
director of the gardens and farms of Ibrahim Pasha at Cairo,
gives an account in his report made to the Academy of
Sciences of the different productions of Egypt. In 1832 he
found the tamarix mannfferis, the turfah of the Arabs of the
desert, and growing in great abundance in the desert, about a
day's journey to the northward of Sinai. He saw women and
children engaged in gathering the manna, which was running
from the branches of this shrub. The Arabs assured him that
when this manna was purified it was equal to the finest honey.
What he gathered himself was in large drops, of the size of a
pea, of a pale yellow colour, rather agreeable taste, or slightly
sweet and gummy. In order to purify it, the Arabs put it into
boiling water; it rises to the surface, and is immediately skim-
med off. This is probably the manna which nourished the
Hebrews. Some authors pretend that the manna of the
Hebrews was the production of the alhage maurorum, a shrub
which is never found but on the borders of the desert, where
there is a good deal of moisture, but there is one of these near
to Sinai.—Courrier Francais. 1

HUMANE CONDUCT OF AN AMERICAN CREW.
—We have great pleasure in mentioning the following circum-
stance, which has accidently come to our knowledge :—The
American ship Morea, Captain Girdler, on her voyage from
this port to Boston, in January last, fell in with the British
brig Effort, bound from North America to Newcastle, water-
logged and quite unmanageable. The crew, thirteen in num-
ber, were lashed to the rigging, where they had been thirty-
three hours without food of any kind. Captain Girdler lay to
immediately, lowered his boats, and in a tremendous sea
boarded the brig, and with difficulty succeeded in saving the
whole thirteen, in a complete state of exhaustion. We ought
to state, in justice to Captain Girdler and the crew, that upon
the refusal of the mate to enter the boat, in consequence of
the state of the weather, the whole of the crew volunteered to
accompany their Captain. Acts of generous heroism like this
(there is not a British crew upon the ocean who would not
have done likewise) form a very prominent feature in the
nautical character. When a ship is seen in distress the ques-
tion, " What flag ?" is one of minor importance, the men
to be saved •from destruction being the only consideration.—

LIMERICK PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE —The

is to be made in the fetes of September, the foreign Princes,
Ministers, or Members of Legislative Assemblies, who have
defended with the most firmness the principle of non-inter-
vention, are to have the iron cross. Some strange coinci-
dences are remarked. Thus Louis Philip is named with
Citizen Hebert, President of the Friends of the People.
Messrs. O'Connell and Hume, members of the British Par-
liament, are likewise among the number. A sixth part at
least of the number on whom the cross will be conferred
are foreigners.
Yesterday there was another meeting at the Town-hall
of the subscribers for the establishment of a free university
in this city. According to the plan which has been pre-
sented, the fine Faculties will be organized immediately.
Considering the increased number of subscribers, and the
protection which the magistrates and the bank give to the
university, the committee, which is definitively organized,
announced that there was reason to hope that the courses
of lectures would be opened on first Nov. next.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 9.—The official part of the Monitcur
states the average prices of Wheat and Rye to be, Wheat
14 francs, 43 cents., Rye 8 francs 7 cents., per hectolitre.
The negotiations between the Government and M. Cockerill
are terminated, to the satisfaction of both parties. The
half of the establishment of Seraing, belonging to the State,
has been made over to M. Cockerill, who thus be-comes
sole proprietor, paying half of the value of the establishnitnt.
One of the most delicate points of the transaction was tb:,
intimation of the value, which, however, has been effected
in a satisfactory manner. It was necessary to give facilities
both with respect to the time of paying the instalments and
the rate of interest, that one manufacturer might be able to
take on himself so colossal an establishment.

An Ostend paper says that the King had just granted
2,000 francs from his privy purse for the poor of that town.
The Journal d' Anvers contains the following para-
graphs :—" The two following facts are interesting as they
regard our political relations with Holland.

The Belgian galliot London Packet, Captain Howes,
belonging to a house in this city, and bound to England
with a cargo of bark, put into the port of Flushing on the
4th inst., having sprung a leak. Admiral Gabins, on the
request of the captain, gave orders immediately to permit
it to enter, and rigorous measures were prescribed against
any who should offer to insult either the captain or the
Belgian crew. _

"Another Belgian vessel, the Zeeperd, Capt. Poel, be-
longing to a ship-owner at Brussels, bound to London with
bark, put into Terveer on the 28th August, with the loss
of a mast and other damage. _

" Thus two Belgian ships have put into Dutch ports
and though it was only in consequence of damage, we con-
sider these facts as the prelude to a less restricted admission,

" We have mentioned that the Carmelites of Douai and
Roubaix had found a refuge at Bruges. We learn that
about 48 of the nuns have arrived at Ghent."
