the Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester, was per-
formed at Sc. James's Church, Piccadilly, by the Very

brilliant circle of the nobility. At the conclusion of the

vessels. _ _ .

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—Manchester, March
23.—There were iadications of an improvement in this
market in the earlier part of the day, but the telegraphic
report from Liverpool, of " a quieter market again,"
had a depressing influence, and destroyed the confidence
of buyers. Little business has been done to-day.
Spinners and manufacturers generally maintain their
quotations of last week.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION. —Great preparations
are in progress here f ,r the approaching Easter holidays.
Among the figures likely to prove interesting we un-
derstand are those of Orsini and Pierri. The musical
department will also undergo considerable improvement
and addition to exaba”e the general effect, anci_twnder
Mn. ALLSOP TSB stated that Mr.
Allsop has for several days been concealed in this city,
somewhere in Anthony-street. Both English and French
detectives are now in pursuit of him, and it is not at all
improbable that he may be arrested within a day or two.
Though the contemplated assassination, of which he is
alleged to be one of the conspirator-, was not successful,
he will be returnable under the extradition treaty, if in-
dicted for the murder of the innocent persons who were
killed by the explosions in the Rue Lepelletier.—New
York Herald, March 8.
THE WESTvEND OF LONDON RAILWAY.—This railway
is now complete, and was yesterday examined by the
Government inspector. It is hoped that it may be open
for public traffic on Monday next. The inhabitants of
Belgravia, Westminster, Kensington, and the adjacent
localities will thereby be enabled, from the " Riverside
Terminus," at the foot of Chelsea new Suspension
bridge, to reach Brighton in one hour and a quarter, and
Dover and Portsmouth in two hours and a half. The
railway was laid out by Messrs. Bidder and Fulton, the
engineers, in 1853, and the works have been carried out
under their direction by Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and
Betts. The line will also give increased facility of
access to the Crystal Palace, and the localities of Balham •
hill, Streatham, Norwood, and Sydenham, through
which it passes.
DEATH FROM A BLOW ON THE KNEE.—The following
case was reported to the Liverpool Borough Coroner
yesterday (Tuesday) :—On Saturday week James
Buero wee, a boy 16 years of age, the son of a professor
of music at Liverpool, while staying at a farmhouse et
Ford was engaged in sharpening a scythe, when the
hone he was using slipped and struck him on the knee-
cap. The knee immediately began to swell, and the pain
became so intense that the boy was taken home to
Liverpool. He was attended by several doctors con-
nected with the Rose-hill Dispensary, but, in spite of
their efforts, he died yesterday morning.
FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE AT CAMDEN-TOWN.—A
little after two o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke
out at the house of Mr. Bedford, 37, Broadway-terrace'
Camden-town.
in The fire was first observed in one of the
npper rooms, whiph a child was sleeping, and on the
servant and some neighbours going up, the flames hal
become so powerful that they were unable to rescue the
child. It was more than half an hour before the St.
Pancras engine arrived, and it was of very little service
when it did come. On the arrival of more pice.verful
engines the fire was quickly subdaed, but it had by this
time completely gutted the house. The origin of the
fire is not known. No fire had been lighted for some
days in the room in which it appeared to commence.
BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER AT APOTHE-
CARIES'-HALL.—Yesterday morning the watchman at
Apothecaries'-hall, named Edwin Thrift, aged 29 years,
was robbed and nearly murdered while on duty. The
unfortunate sufferer, Edwin Thrift, was ou duty at
Apothecaries'-hall, when some burglars broke in, and
be endeavoured to raise an alarm, but they knocked him
down, and swore they would murder him. He still,
however, struggled with his assailante, when they put
their has de on his mouth and beat him till he was nearly
dead. They then robbed him of his silver watch and
chain and what money he had in his possession, and 1-ft
him for dead, when they fancied they heard footsters
and hastily retreated. He was taken to St. Bartho'o-
mew's Hospital, where every assistance was rendered to
the unfortunate sufferer. The burglars in the course of
a short time will be in the hands of justice.
THE LATE MURDER AT PORTSMOUTH —The inquest on
the late Mr. Halle, otherwise Howard, whose assassi-
nation we have before reported, was resumed, after a
week's interval, by the borough cononer on Monday
evening at the Dolphin Inn, whence it was adjourned
to the Sessions-house owing to the great influx of lis-
tenere. The only witness examined was the landlady of
the house where the deceased lived, Mrs Vicks, whose
testimony occupied upwards of three hours. IsTething,
however, appeared in it to fix the crime upon any known
person, and yesterday her son. was submitted to a simi-
lar examinaticn. He was giving his testimony when
this report left. The inquiry seems likely to be a pro-
tracted one.
THE ISLINGTON TRAGEDY.—LATEST PARTICULARS.
Contrary to general expectation at a late hour last even-
ing Mrs. Osborne still lived, bu', to use the language of
Dr. Richardson, her life "hung upon a thread." D.
Richardson throughout the whole of yesterday was cor.-
eta-10y in attendance, and did all that his great skill c'A.ll.l
suggest to alleviate the suff,rings of the unfortunate
woman. Her coniition yesterday was much the same
that of the previous day. She was occasionary sensible,
but only for a very short period, almost immediately
relapsing into her unconscious state. About two
o'clock in the afternoon the lodger, said to he her
paramour, went into the room, and, approaching the
bedside, asked her if she knew him. She replied—
" Yes, it's Fred." lie then said —" Do you love
me I" She answered, "Yes, I do." The policeman in
charge remonstrated with him upon putting such ques-
tions to a woman in such a precarious state, and ordered
him out of the room, as he bad no business there. He
