and a body of 20 followed. Another police
van succeeded, another omnibus loaded with infantry,
and about 80 Hussars brought up the rear. The
Mayor and other magistrates were in attendance in
carriages, to give the necessary orders to the troops
if they had unfortunately been required. The route
was along Bridge-street, Princess-street, Mosley-
street, Piccadilly, London-road, and Hyde-road ;
and the whole distance was densely crowded with
spectators, many of whom kept up with the proces-
sion, although it marched at a smart trot. At
various points on the route the troops were received
with cheers from the populace. A strong detach-
ment of infantry was left to guard the City Gaol.
LATEST PARTICULARS.

With regard to the route which has been taken
by the two principal persons connected with the
outrage, and who were really the immediate cause
of it, we have been able to ascertain with almost
certainty that they took the direction of Bradford.
At about half-past four o'clock, three men appeared
in Taylor-street, Bradford, and one of them, whose
description exactly corresponds with that of Kelly,
went into a tobacconist's shop and got half an ounce
of tobacco. Another went into the house of Daniel
Rider, near to the shop, and asked if he might bring a
friend in. Being told that he could, he was joined
by the man from the tobacconist's shop and the
third man. Mrs. Rider observed, although an
attempt was made to conceal it, that the third
man, who is known to have been Deasey—was
handcuffed. Kelly said that his friend had got
some nails sticking up in his boots, and requested to
be furnished with a hammer. The woman went
out, fearing that something was wrong, and on her
return, after apprising a neighbour, she heard the
sound of hammering in the kitchen. The three men
went away almost immediately, and the handcuffs
had disappeared. Outside of the house the men
separated, but took paths which would enable them
to rejoin each other on the high road at a Short
distance. It is believed that Kelly's handcuffs were
broken with a stone in a brickcroft, between Hyde
Road and Bradford.
As soon as it was known in Ashton-under-Lyne
and Stalybridge that this outrage had taken
place, the police received all the necessary
instructions. A meeting of magistrates took
place in Ashton-under-Lyne about eight
on Wednesday evening, and the Bench having ex-
pressed a wish that the safety of the volunteer arms
should be looked to, Lieutenant Greenall, Sergeant
Alajor Newman, and Sergeant Gardner, and 25 of
the non-commissioned officers and men met at the
Town Hall and took the necessary precautions
About half-past six o'clock the same night Con.

stables Harron and Eaton observed two men in the

streets whose appealance at once aroused their
suspicions, as their shoes were covered with clay, as
if they had walked through the fields. The consta-
bles at once watched them, and the men appear to
have become conscious that that was so. After
dodging about for some time, one of the men
was seen to go into a plumber and glazier's
shop. Here he asked for a halfpenny worth
of putty, but he had not the money to pay
for it. He was apprehended as ho came out, but
the other man unfortunately escaped. He gave the
name of James Woods. He said he had slept in
Pendleton the night before, but could not tell
Where. He also said he had slept in Leeds, but
would not give any references. When taken to
Manchester he was identified as having been seen
at the house where Kelly and Deasey were appre-
hended.

Able police officers have been despatched to all
Parts of the kingdom in search of the escaped
"bead centres." A rumour was current in the city
Yesterday that Kelly had been taken, but up to the
present the police authorities have not received any
such information.

We hear that in the course of yesterday the
Mayor was in constant communication with the
llome-office and the Government of Ireland, and
his worship forwarded all the information he pos-
sessed up to a late hour. The Manchester Watch
Committee met at the Town Hall, and approved
of the action that had been taken by the Mayor
and the magistrates with regard to offering rewards.
Last night rumours were abroad that a Fenian
meeting was to be held at Ancoats. A meet-
ing of a political character was held in that
district; but welearn that nothing transpired to con-
firm the suspicion that the meeting was connected
with Fenianism There were, nevertheless, circum-
stances to justify the suspicion. Many Fenians
Were present, and it may be that the proceeding was
4 ruse by which the brotherhood hoped for a time
to divert the attention of the police from the pursuit
of the fugitives. One of the three prisoners who
Vere arrested yesterday evening, after the others
had been sent to the gaol, was taken into custody
at Preston. It was ascertained last evening that the
two men who escaped from Sergeant Brears when
Kelly and Deasey were taken into custody are
among the number who have been apprehended.
To the frequenters of the City Police-court the
deceased officer Brett, who had for years stood
conspicuously in the dock, was well known. In
this post, most arduous from the character of the
Persons whom he had to deal with, and frequently
to restrain, ho displayed a great amount of tact,
arid in other respect he exhibited all the
qualities of an experienced and careful officer.
Ile has left two or three children, all grown up,
and a widow. He was about 50 years of age, and
had been in the force 21 years. Notwithstanding
the positive assurance of the witnesses who were
xamined yesterday that Brett was shot through
the keyhole of the police van door, we believe that
evidence will be forthcoming to show that he was
murdered after the mob had obtained an entrance
Into the vehicle, and because he refused to give upthe

4GIOIDENT TO THE STEAMSHIP SURAT.

The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Surat, bound
'°l' India, went stem on to a coral reef on the night
°f the 4th inst., some 90 miles from Suez.
~,She struck somewhere about midnight, and baffled
'l4 exertions to remove her from her perilous position.
There she lay, stern on to the wind and sea, her

shoulders against the rocks, jarring and start-
og her. This state of things continued for three
