SUSPECTED MURDER.

Reports have been published in the newspapers yell
recently of a man, named Thomas Willett, having beets
committed for trial at the next South Lancashire assizes/
charged with attempting to murder his wife at Liverpool,
by cutting her throat. He also cut and wounded a Mari
. at Liverpool who interfered to rescue his wife from hie3'

suspicion of a previous crime upon him. It appear°
that he had been living in the neighbourhood of Chan
cery-lane, Manchester, for several years with a worae
who passed as his wife, and this woman died a few dgg
before he attempted the crime with which he is chargeu
at Liverpool. Instead of getting the corpse interred its
his own neighbourhood, he went and made arrangement°
to have it interred at Christ-church, Hulme, the other
extremity of the town, and on the night before the fu
neral conveyed the body to the grave-yard on a band'
bairow. After the funeral ho left Manchester, sayisg.
to a friend that he was going to Liverpool to murder bl'
wife, and that he should be in Kirkdale gaol before
night. He attempted to murder his wife at Liverps°l
that same day. His Manchester wife died after an ill-
ness of a few days only, and in consequence of informs'
tion in possession of the Manchester police, Mr. Sayri?f'
superintendent of the C division, made a communication
to the coroner of the city, by whose directions the boa"'
iu Christchurch graveyard was disinterred yesterday
morning. An inquest was opened yesterday afternoos
at the Greyhound public-house, Chester-road, Haire/
but the proceedings will have to await a post-mortal
examination. The police found a paper containing the
remains of some kind of powder in the house where be
lived in Chancery-lane, and this will probably have to be
analysed also before the inquiry can be completed.

"A GENTLE SIVAIN."—A young gentleman at Weston
is in want of a wife, and, as he does not wish to marl
foolishly, he desires that the lady who may favour hirs
with an offer must be prepared to make the very mode'
rate bid of 1001. per annum—i.e., the lady's incocne
must reach that amcunt. Au advertisement in the Clit
ton paper makes known the denre of this "gentle swain,
and it is to be hoped that some of the eligible young
ladies in that fashionable suburb will deign to rail°
upon him.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly, and prices of Americans were id. per

,000 of which were taken by exporters, and 6,000
by the speculators. The Railway Share Market
closed steadily at a slight advance on the current
rates of Monday.
